MACDONALD Principal Lawrence High School On their own merits modest men are silent ” 6 J J A W R E X C E 1 9 2 '� A X X U A T. MR. CECIL C. MacDONALD Eor the past ten years the growth of Lawrence High Scliool has heen one of the most constant improvements in our community. Having originated as a small, rather insignificant school, it has risen, in a comparatively short time, to he one of the most commendable institutions on Long Island. In every branch of school activity Lawrence stands well at tin peak of the list; in scholarship, in sportsmanship, and in social activity. rl his great improvement has heen made possible mainly through the conscientious, untiring efforts of our Principal, Mr. Cecil C. MacDonald, who has striven constantly to improve the conditions of the young people in his care. Through times of confusion and unpleasantness Mr. MacDonald has remained at his task, giving his every thought, his best advice, his whole life to the school. He has raised the standard of responsibility among the student body by giving it a sincere example of trustwortiiiness combined with the pressure of his own personality. To him we owe much, for lie has lowered the mechanical trend of school routine and has made this period of our lives a memorable one. Xot a student of Lawrence but remembers a kind word of advice or encouragement which has spurred him on and instilled within him a determination to “carry on.” The simplest virtue, the humblest effort to do good is quickly perceived and nurtured by him. And still, although he is possessed of the highest respect and admiration of the students, Mr. MacDonald seldom allows his name to follow his school into the limelight. He has often been heard to say that any man is justly blessed who has “made a family happier for his presence, and yet, he is a man who has made a community happier for his presence; retaining, nevertheless, all “that gracious benignity” which has endeared him to the hearts of the students. Any student leaving Lawrence can consider himself fortunate in having come in contact with a man above the plane of petty men, removed from trivial prejudices and gifted with a mellow magnanimity coveted by the Hods themselves. Personally Mr. MacDonald is well known in tin community, but few people outside of the student body have occasion to see the profound unselfishness which so distinguishes him and with which he puts the success of the students before his own. For the benefit of the students Mr. MacDonald is one of those highly estimable men “who do good by stealth and blush to find it fame.” ANNUAL STAFF SENIOR ANNUAL BOARD Editors-in-Chief _____________________________3 Nanette M.

This Annual is entirely separate from the Lawrencian and while several of the members oi the regular Lawrencian Board also hold positions on the Annual Stall the majority of the members are not experienced in the art of editing. In this Annual the Seniors have endeavored to record accurately the combined and individual achievements of the class during its high school career with the purpose of preserving this enviable record for the interest of later reunions. The result of our endeavors we cannot hope to judge but we, the Annual Staff, sincerely hope that the Senior Class and its patrons enjoy the fruits of our efforts. In the knowledge of YOUR enjoyment we receive ample recognition, as it is for a united Class pleasure that we have cheerfully put to use what small talent we possess. —THE EDITOR. N. M.

One day early in the fall of 1921 the peace and tranquilliU of the Lawrence High School World suffered an invasion from a nomadic hand of barbaric vandals, who bore down upon the country and after days of furious siege lay waste the land and established an empire of the Freshman Class. 2. Few Prehistoric Records Preserved. Little can be said concerning this period of cannibalism. Accurate information was doubtlessly kept but no one living today lias been able to translate the Sanskrit aspirin tablets upon which the diaries of famous characters were carved. One of the few authentic events recorded by historians was the athletic achievement of Evelyn Korn, who succeeded in making the girls’ basketball team, a feat never before accomplished by a Korn. 3. Dead Language Reincarnated. The unknown writing on the sides of the great Lawrence Pyramids was translated into a historical narrative, lo translate these hieroglyphics had long been the ambition of the world s most famous professors of archaeology. However, the translation universally accepted as authentic was rendered by a citizen of the newly recognized Freshmen nation. This was considered a great triumph for so adolescent a people, who were subsequently honored by having tin translation, together with the author's name, printed in the international magazine. Since then the author has done more work in the same field which will be recognized in a later chapter. 4. Social and Economic Reforms. Owing to the many festivals which archaeologists claim were celebrated during the year 1921 it was observed that the vicinity was greatly in need of “bigger business.” To meet this economic problem, which might otherwise have caused a great famine among the sweet-eating people who inhabited these parts, several store's were opened and the imports were enormously increased. 5. Great Prospects Viewed in New Year—1922. The entrance of a new and unscarred era was hailed by industrial magnates as a turning point in history. 'With the business world on a strong foundation the future of the world seemed bright. Most of the inhabitants had succeeded in passing the great crisis of the previous June which for a time threatened to cast them back into the Dark Ages from which they had so lately risen. 32 1, A W R K N C E 19 2 5 A N X U A I, 6. Formation of Social Service Reform. A benevolent society was formed by the Pa’s-Ma’s-Pedagogi-cal Association for the support of aged and infirm students. This is to be known to all tin world as the Honor Society, it being an honor to be recognized by so illustrious an organization. The fortunate members for 1922 were Nanette Levy, George Levin, and Roslyn Titman. Several other students received honorable mention but the above conspirators were particular friends of Mark Antony’s and lie proclaimed them “honorable men” omitting the “tion. ” 7. Progress Made Along Lines of Drama. Although Euripides, one of the lower class men. invented the “Comedy,” it was perfected by young Aeschuylus and given the name “Tragedy.” A great stride was made in theatrical lines when the nation gave a collection of scenes from the plays of a little Freshman called William Shakespeare. Among the notables of the cast were Alice Endler, William Doniger, Edith Kondell, Roslyn Titman, Anne Stafford, Louise Ripin, Fay Frank, and Aaron Glaser. 8. Renowned Orators Rewarded. The yearly oratorical contest of members of the “International Speaking Society” proved, beyond dispute, the dexterity of the feminine tongue. Both first and second prizes were won by members of the more deadly sex whose oratory completely eclipsed the erstwhile champion, Mark Antony, and set up a record for both speed and delivery. The two prominent “vociferors” were Edith Kondell and Roslyn Titman. They began planning a lecture tour through the jungles of Tnwood and it was hoped that this journey would prove successful. 9. Great Scientific Discovery. Eminent astronomers and diagnosticians claimed that Lawrence was developing ethereal qualities. On the northwest by southeast end of the building a wing showed undeniable signs of sprouting. This appendage contained two embryonic offices, a gymnasium with all modern improvements for a balcony scene and serenade, and several classrooms for the intelligentzia of the primary school. 10. Prizes Awarded to Literary Moron. A marked development in the literary world was recognized by profound thinkers when the Sanskrit records were superseded by the Dime Novel. This notable progress received commendation from a group of philanthropists who offered two nrizes for the best dime novel written by a citizen of the world. These awards were exact replicas of the world famous Nobel prizes for men of letters. Both prizes were captured by Nanette Levy, an obscure member of the Society for Intelligent Morons. The material re- 33 LAWRENCE 19 25 ANNUAL ward was used to revive a depleted treasury while the spiritual laurels were heaped upon the nation hv way ot the Exchange Department of tin Lawrencian. 11. Lawrence Olympic Team Growing. The gridiron was honored during the year by the presence of Frank Cestari and William Doniger who adorned the fields at the various football games. These citizens were rewarded for their respective efforts by a marked change in their facial appearances. It. was thought that the alterations were due to the applications of the beauty mud which often covered the field. Tn addition to these sportsmen the nation boasted of two Hebes of considerable skill, Itoslyn Titman and Evelyn Korn exhibited grace and valor on the court of basketball. 12. Year Opened with Startling Phenomenon 1923. Once more the citizens of Lawrence High School were successful in evading the devastating June plague. 1 he affairs of the world seemed to point to a peaceful year. However, a stupendous miracle entered the world which experienced nature fakers claimed to be a hitherto extinct animal. Ibis beautiful beast became rejuvenated by the invigorating Long Island climate and discarded its antedeluvian cognomen for the more modern name of Jeannette Janofsky. Chemists analyzed this rare specimen and reported very favorably concerning it. It showed indisputable signs of becoming popular. 13. All Eyes Turned Toward Election Returns. As had been the case ever since Adam elected Eve as custodian of his prime ribs, the election of executive officials caused a cautiousness in the financial world. At the nominating convention delegates anticipated a revival of the famous Rip Van Winkle bloc and supplied themselves with feather-beds and razors. However, the third ballot decided the nominations and the final election returns proved a great landslide for the “Full of Pep Party.” The presidency was vamped by Nanette Levy, while Monroe Slier -win, erstwhile boss of Pittsburgh, was entrusted with the Treasury. For official amanuensis the class favored George Levin. 14. Renowned Editors and Business Men Recognized. Several of the nation’s most enterprising citizens received reward for their notable efforts by being elected to positions of responsibility on the Lawrencian Board. The coveted office of Assistant Editor-in-Chief was received by Nanette Levy while Elsa Bloomquist and Eleanor Hollister were placed in charge of the gathering of local news. George Levin’s financial genius was put to good use in the business department, of which he was made manager. 15. Remarkable Increase Among Men of Letters. During the year 1923-1924 many new names appeared on the Buff Letter list. Upon Frank Cestari was bestowed the enviable 34 V i, v n..

Elections Drawing Near—Conservative Landslide Expected 1924. As the critical period of the election of new executive officers approached the country suffered its usual slump in business owing to the uncertainty as to the policy of the new administration. The returns, however, showed a tidal wave for the Conservative Party. J. Roby Day was presented with the sceptre of presidency, while the vice-presidency, or presidency of the Senate was given to George Levin. The responsible position of Secretary of the Treasury was entrusted to Monroe Slierwin, the notorious fake stock promoter, who, it will be remembered was shadily implicated in the late oil scandal. The office of Secretary of State was received by Nanette Levy as a reward for her services as scribe. 21. Editors Once More Acclaimed 1924. The records of all previous years were broken by the large number of literary and business men receiving positions of “emolument, honor, and trust” upon the Staff of the Lawrencian. The crown of Editor-in-Chief-ship was presented to Nanette Levy as a promotion from the coronet of assistancy. The now vacant office of Chamberlain was filled by Fay Frank while Eleanor Hollister assumed jurisdiction over the province of “Literature.” Lawrence Phipps was installed as Olympian press agent and Anne Stafford undisguisingly accepted the position of official pawnbroker between Lawrence and neighboring countries. The essential feature of humor was supplied, during the first half year by Florence llepner but upon her graduation in January, Jeannette Janofsky became court jester. Elsa Bloomquist retained her position as head of the Local department as did George Levin in the business world. In the financial circle Levin was assisted by the eminent curb broker William Doniger. 22. Honor Society Squad Increased 1924. The newly sponsored Honor Society received a fresh group of recruits from the lists of 1923-1924. Elsa Bloomquist, having “downed” the greatest number of obstacles was rewarded by being promoted to the office of Commander-in-Chief. The other “non-coms” receiving promotions to this commissioned institution of Honor were Henrietta Gastwirtli, Evelyn Korn, Eleanor Hollister, Edith Kondell, and Roby Day. In the permanent Honor Society the elections apportioned the offices between the two years of choosing . The oath of presidency 36 L A W R E X C E 1 9 2 5 A X X IT A T. was administered to Xanette Levy and that of vice presidency to (ieorge Levin—both of the 1922-1923 Honor Society. Elsa Bloom-quist, of the 1923-1924 Honor Society was elected secretary. 23. Nobility Sponsors Private Magazine 1925. The privileged class of the nation this year initiated the custom of publishing their own magazine, entirely apart from the publication of the proletariat. This elite chronicle will consist of the news of this class exclusively and Avill be edited by members of this charmed circle. The editorial board was culled with great care by a very discriminating few and its success is expected. Xanette Levy and Roslvn Titman are the co-editors while the departments are headed by the most talented citizens of the nation. The press agency for the aboriginals was allotted to Alice Reeveland, that of the athletes to Lawrence Phipps, Evelyn Korn, and Anne Stafford. Suzette Salen and Alice Pretz were placed in the position previously held by Michelangelo, while the humor is to be supplied by Edith Ivondell. Elsa Bloomquist and Marion Ran will ferret out the local news items and Ira Haas, Alice Endler, and James Thompson will supply “maps” for the benefit of humanity. Intimate touches from the lives of the patricians will appear from the pens of Eleanor Hollister, Jeannette Janof-skv, Edgar Xiditch, Harold Greenfield, and Roby Day. The efficiency experts responsible for the advertising and collecting are (Ieorge Levin, Alma (iraef, William Doniger, and Henrietta (Jast-wirth. 24. Entire Nation Honors Seniors 1924. The entire nation participated in the election of the members of the Honor Society Committee. This committee is elected by universal suffrage and consists of one girl and one boy representing the nation at large. To be elected to this office is the highest civil honor the nation can confer upon a citizen. Before election day great mass meetings were held throughout tin country and many possible candidates were discussed. The returns showed that the nation had honored the Seniors by placing-two of their members in this responsible position. The honored statesmen were Frank Cestari, the renowned athlete, and Xanette Levy. 25. Great Detective Unravels Mysteries. One of the greatest feats of detection was placed before the nation’s eyes when a case which had long baffled the Federal police was solved with comparative ease by a hitherto obscure but now famous detective. The case in question was the appalling robbery of literary matter from the Messrs. Shakespeare, Voltaire, and Rostand. These robberies had startled the nations some years ago but the culprit had never been brought to justice until the recent work of Anne Stafford brought the case to a climax. The nations showed their appreciation for this work bv awarding to Anne the Distinguished Service Medal. 37 I, A W R E N C E 1 !) 2 .') A N X UAL 26. Broadcasting Society Formed 1925. The opening notes of the first spring swallow held a no of challenge for the feminine members of the nation. As a resii a conflict raged, each side vying with the other in an elOrt o gain the sweetest trill. The feminine legions, however, having learned the advantages of unity, handed themselves togethei w i i bonds of sisterly love—each swearing alliance to the great cause. This army fought many campaigns against the enemy songbirds but the former eventually emerged victorious and planted their banner, tin Clef, upon the shores of the newly founded land of “Clee.” The sovereign power over this kingdom was vested m l-'av Frank while the “caretaker of the minutes” was written after the name of Anne Stafford. The keeper of the currency was known to her fellow men by the name of Louise Ivipin. 27. All Star Cast Gives Miracle Performance. The nation's most famous stage celebrities were seen in one of th«- most memorable productions given in the history ot the world. This theatrical success was presented at the national eap-itol for the benefit of mankind in general. The cast famous throughout was headed by Roslyn Titman who gave a brilliant performance as the heroine. The entire cast consisted of Jeanette Janofsky, Evelyn Korn, William Doniger, Norma Liebling, Lawrence Phipps, Henrietta (Jastwirth, Morris Moscowitz, Leoige Levin, and Annette Rubinstein. 28. Turning Point in History Reached. With the approach of Commencement the chronicle of the Senior Nation comes to a close. During the period recorded above the history has been the unified record of a group of citizens of the world—the School World. In this miniature Moderation of Nations they have met and solved problems, learned the motives which govern the actions of mankind, and spent their personal time in philanthropic enterprises for the betterment of the school. Soon this united history will be superseded bv a history of individuals—a history in which the road to Victory will be beset with harder Conflicts than those of the past. Tn this world the interest evinced by superiors will not mean an interest in the sense of protection but rather an interest for competitive selfadvancement. However, let us hope that the proverb “History repeats itself” shall not have been quoted in vain and that each member of the Senior Nation of 1925 will forge a History which will bring Honor to him and to Lawrence. 38 —Nanette M.

Exerted consciously or involuntarily it paves the path of the future. So do all human beings rely upon the “brotherhood of man” for means whereby to reach the highest standards ol living. The progress of humanity depends more upon the individual reactions of people toward each other than upon any one other element. Philosophers claim that the three elements which create and develop character are environment, personal power, and good literature. Assuming the authenticity of their choice let us weigh the relative importance of each element. Environment—this is the influence ol surroundings upon one’s character—the influence both of inanimate objects with which one becomes familiar and learns to appreciate and value, and the influence of one’s parents and relatives. In early life environment is universally acknowledged as the prime element in character molding. The influence of personal power enters into the structure at the adolescent stages and from thence on is of great importance. It is, in a simple interpretation, the part played by friends and associates in the drama of life. The inspiration offered by someone, the encouragement administered by someone else and the skepticism exhibited by a third person all have their influences in the building of a character. Thus lives are built or altered, dispositions polished or marred by the personal power exerted by a friend. And yet, the greatest influence upon the life of a person comes not from a sermon or lecture, it is lather transmitted by a person possessing that rare and indescribable quality which has come to be known as personal magnetism. The part played by good literature in the building of the mind is also important in that it enlivens the imagination and develops a sense of discrimination. Beyond this, however, is the influence which the writings of great authors have upon the mind. From the intelligent reading of a masterpiece of poetry or prose we gain, not only the opinion of the author upon the subject in question but also new ideas and expressions which we unconsciously adopt and employ in our lives. Much personal influence has been derived from the quotations in Shakespearean plays and Tennvsonian poems. But beyond the influence which people are capable of exerting upon the lives of others there is the influence which all inanimate things have upon each other, the influence of the sun and frost upon a plant—the influence of gravity upon the universe. Thus every ion has an influence upon every other ion, every element has its influence upon every other element and the effect of these influences govern the standard of worlds. In the same way human influences govern the lives of men, and at the great day of Judgment it is the influence which we have exerted upon our fellow men which “is the knell that summons us to heaven, or to hell.” —N. M. L. 48 I 9 £ , CJ fcll- tvl t LITERARY fe Vt w £7 L A W l E N (’ E 1 9 2 5 A N N UAL HIGHER EDUCATION AS A SAFEGUARD OF DEMOCRACY Democracy means government by the people. AN ith the people as both the rulers and the ruled, it is natural that they should tr to make their government as efficient and as beneficial as possible. 1 hat this cannot be accomplished under incompetent leaders is obvious, but the question is: “Where shall we find competent leaders?” At present, we give our high offices and the enormous power that goes with them as rewards for winning battles, or, as is often the case, party bosses control the gifts. W t have paid dearly lor giving oui high offices as rewards for deeds of valor, but we do not yet realize that they must be given to trained men—men who know how the government should be carried on. 1 p to now the requirements in the minds of some for becoming president, for example, seem to have been; “Born in a log cabin; have little education; win a battle.” These requirements may have been sufficient in the days when our country was young, but we can no longer afford to choose a man because he is a popular hero. Now our standards are much above that; our country has grown to a world power, and we cannot let a man control one of the biggest single factors in world affairs because he is popular through some one act. His ideals may be of the highest, and he may be most earnest to help his country, but it is too big; he must have also the knowledge that gives power. Such tremendous power in unskilled hands is a very potent weapon against democracy. We need educated men in our high offices. We need men who have made a study of government, and who can use the power given them for the J n best interests of the people. The men we need are in our colleges today. The college-trained man is much better fitted to fill government positions than the untrained man. The best .proof of this is in a comparison of the administrations of (I rant and of Roosevelt. Grant was one of our greatest generals, and was elected president as aresult of his military greatness. Re was popular—one of our most popular presidents—yet he failed miserably. On the other hand, Roosevelt, a Harvard graduate, has heen one of our greatest presidents not only nationally but internationally as well. There is no need to tell here of his remarkable analyses of vital questions, of his wonderful foresight, and his power among men; the point is this: Roosevelt was as great as he was be- cause he was trained. Grant had all the latent ability of Roosevelt, but he knew nothing about government while Roosevelt did. This does not mean that simply going to college makes a man a good president, or governor, or congressman, any more than being born in a Ion- cabin, but it does mean that a college education will help any man to'better understand what is best for his country. Too many men have been elected by a party slogan, or by cheap politics. But that is no wav to preserve democracy. The party slogan, while it may sway the masses, does not make a good official; training does it. There are in several universities, schools of government in which 50 L A W R E N C E 1 9 2 5 A N N U A L men are specially trained for government positions. In Washington the government itself lias established a school for diplomats. Is it not obvious that graduates of these schools are much better qualified than untrained men? You would not let an untrained man take charge of your business; why let him control the government of your nation, without the protection of which you would probably have no business ? Several of our large cities are governed by what is known as the city manager plan. A council is elected by the people, which in turn proceeds to find a manager for the city just as you would find a manager for your corporation. There is no politics connected with this; il is purely a business proposition. When the right man is found, he is put in charge of the entire business of running the city. This plan is very satisfactory in that a trained man is put in a position of power, not merely a popular one, and that he holds office as long as liis work is satisfactory. A striking example of the success of the plan is shown in the case of the city of Cleveland. Just before the adoption of the plan, the government of the city was in such a state that nothing of any public value could lx accomplished, and most of the public’s money was used for graft. But now that Cleveland has adopted the new plan, it is one of the best governed cities in the country. The whole tone of public opinion lias been raised; the city’s credit is better; the taxes are collected more efficiently and used more wisely—and why? Because a trained man is at the head of the government—a college man who knows how the city should be run. It would not be practical, of course, to extend this plan to our state and national governments, but the principle of it should be extended to them. It is the idea of government by trained men that is paramount, and this should apply to our entire system of government —national and local. The people who vote must also be trained. Else how to choose the right men? Intelligent, thinking people, not slick politicians, must determine who shall govern them, or all the advantages gained by training are lost. Up to now, our development has been conducted along rather narrow lines. Our first object has been to grow great within ourselves. That was easy. We had boundless resources, a sturdy population, and, above all, we were isolated from the rest of the world. Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that we grew internally so rapidly. Unmolested by world affairs, and with unlimited resources, it was easy to grow. But hereafter it will not be so easy to keep on growing or even to stay as we are. During the last quarter of a century, a strange combination of circumstances has thrust us into tin leading position of the world. Now we face new, far bigger problems. Now we must lx great, not only nationally but als'o internationally. We must have leaders, with trained logical minds, with knowledge, both deep and broad, with understanding of world-wide 51 I, A W If K N (' K 19 25 AN N IT A L ns well as loeal problems, men who can lead our country not only in successful competition but also in generous cooperation. —George Levin, Jr. THE AMERICAN INDIAN AND HIS BATTLES “The moon drops low that once soared high. As (he eagle soars in the morning skv And (lie deep dark skies, like a death web spun— Twixt the setting moon, and the rising sun. Our glory fades like the sinking moon, The red-man's race will be perished soon. Our foot ne'er more o’er the earth will run Lor no dawn shall be ours, or no rising sun.” So sits an old Indian chieftain outside his wigwam, lamenting the past glories of a once great race. A shadow falls before him. He raises his head. 11 is grandson, home from college, stands there an educated, intelligent, civilized youth who dons the dress of his race only to commemorate his ancestors. Two figures one at the setting of life, the reminder of what has been —the other at youth’s gateway, the hope of the future; the one whose sun is setting in the horizon, the other whose sun is rising in the east. From the one has descended the other the Modern Indian. For ages before Columbus, the Indian roamed from ocean to ocean, heir to all he surveyed. In spite of tin fact that (lod had created more territory than the red man could ever hope to use friction often arose between tribes. As the hunting grounds were personal proport of the different peoples, a member of one trespassing upon the grounds of another brought down the wrath and animosity of the one elan upon the other. Thus the eternal question of self-preservation was waged in primitive fashion by primitive men. But a time was to come when disputes between Indians were to be a minor consideration. The tribes were to combine in a common cause, against a common foe. This time came with the advent of the white man. The red men at first treated the newcomers with awe and consideration, regarding them as gods. But with the introduction of cruelty, greed, strife and even slavery on the part of the European-. a new order of thing- was invoked. Now the pas-words among the Indians were violence, destruction, and a mighty and abiding hatred against that foe which Time was to prove invincible. I ndaunted. the Indians made a last great effort, uniting with the Ftvnch in the hope of evicting their K.nglish rivals ami regaining their territory. This hope proved to be futile. But even then the American aborigine wa- not roady to admit defeat. Tirelessly, ceaselessly, be led a life of tvvenge. How many villages lying peacefully in the -unset glow KTore twilight. were transformed before dawn to a scarlet blaze 5S L A W RE NC E 1 9 2 5 A N N V A I, reaching the skies, making day of night, through the efforts of these indefatigable savages. Slowly but surely, however, in spite of all efforts to tin contrary, the red man was being deprived of his vast heritage by the invaders, until, now, he has nothing save those lands which the government has granted to him—the reservations. So we see how a once proud and glorious race was reduced to dire straits a race which is noble, generous, fearless, keen, alert, and intelligent characteristics which lit them to combat their new problems, but added to these traits are those of restlessness, undving thirst for revenge, and a fierce and unquenchable hatred when aroused traits which have to be subdued before the red man can take his rightful place by the side of his white brother. Amongst the problems which the transition from natural to artificial life has brought before the Indian is the one concerning liquor. Natuiall naive in character, drink was taken from the white man much in the spirit in which a child takes a toy from a playmate. So in uttei ignorance of its harmfulness, he had a dangerous toy which has in many cases proved to be his destruction. Thus we have him face to face with a great wall which hinders his progress in the world. In order to overcome this obstacle, lie must first battle with and vanquish the I- ire- ater. With the realization of tin1 danger involved, the Indian has, in many instances, proved the stern mettle of his ancestors through his valiant struggle against this deadly foe. The passage of a law, before Prohibition, forbidding sale of liquor on reservations has aided him. Thus his first great battle with himself, for a higher life, was being waged, and, gradually but surely, being-won. I he same insight which aided him in this, has shown him the futility of fighting against Fate, so that with clearer understanding has come the extinction to some degree of racial animosity, of hatred, and of dissatisfaction with life on the reservation in general. These facts clearly prove that the Indian has advanced from the physical to the mental stage. He had eradicated many hindering views. 1 his process is not yet complete, but education will complete it. It will give the Indian a clear understanding of life and develop his many really fine qualities, lie himself is showing a keen appreciation of the advantages of education furnished by the government Indian schools. Only recently he advanced nearly a half-million dollars of individual funds for the education of his children. Many of those who are highly educated, have returned to bring light to their people, instead of remaining in the great outside world where their ability would make a place for them. Schools have been established and the teaching of the individual has been looked after. Those who have continued in their quest for knowledge have made an enviable record for themselves. At colleges they are noted for their keen intelligence. In athletics they hold a place as clean, fast, dependable players. Sportsmen in every sense of the word. A recent discovery shows that another race has existed for years 53 L A W HENCE 1 9 2 5 A N N U A L among- the red men of Panama and South America, without any trouble whatsoever—the white Indian. Those peoples whom we consider savage and war-like have never molested their strange neighbors, recognizing their superiority, and especially their Norse altruistic idea of “Live and let live.” The red Indian thus proves that he is not naturally war-like, but merely treats others as they treat him, returning good for good and evil for evil. Perhaps if we too had had the character of the white Indian, we might never have had the' terrible struggles with the Indian. Thus events seem to be shaping themselves so that the world will recognize the integrity and importance of the Indian as a race. Edgar B. Merritt, assistant Indian Commissioner says, “1 know of no more dependent people in the history of the world, who have made more rapid progress during the last fifty years than the American Indian, lie is, as a rule, kind, generous-hearted, and patriotic, and faces the future with hope, courage, and a determination to succeed in life. His progress, education, and civilization has been remarkable indeed, and the future outlook of the Indians as individuals and as a race is most encouraging.” Thus we see that after conquering himself, first physically, and then mentally, came the last great battle—the spiritual struggle. He is succeeding in this as well as he has in former ones. 1 urn to tin annals of the great World War which affected all peoples and all races. See the part that the Indian played when he and his white brother stood shoulder to shoulder, in a common cause, without thought of former differences. A great people—they will accomplish great things—a people that are no longer vanishing. (live them a few more centuries of endeavor such as they are capable of, and they will stand forth on an equal, perhaps superior footing to other inhabitants of our country. The time will come when the Indian will be held up as an example of manliness, of good American citizenship, and as a Conqueror—a winner of battles. —H. Gastwirth POETS AND POETRY Poetry is rhythmical, imaginative language, expressing the invention, taste, thought, passion, and insight of the human soul. True poetry is both prophetic and artistic. By his insight into human nature, the poet says things which startle us because he is voicing opinions and sentiments which we have vaguely felt, but could not express. With his artistic sense of beauty and rhythm, the poet presents to us good thoughts in language that is pleasing and charming. So those who know poetry, love and appreciate it. Browning truly says, “------we’re made so that we love First when we see them painted, things we have passed 54 LAWREXCE 1 9 2 5 A NNUA I Perhaps a hundred times, nor cared to see.” The poets and poetry make us love these things. Scott and Burns, with their ballads of Scotland, and rude, country life, made their countrymen proud of their land, and beautified simple, everyday occurrences which were considered hum-drum and uninteresting. Jn order to transfigure the daily tasks of life, there is need of the imagination and vision which the poets have. Without such vision, the duties of life are drudgery. So if we ourselves cannot see them, we must turn to our friends the poets. “The soul hath need of prophet and redeemer Her outstretched wings against her prisoning bars, She waits for truth, and truth is with the dreamer, Persistent as the myriad light of stars.” Poetry expresses the moods of all kinds of people. It is something to which we can always turn, something which satisfies our minds and souls. More lasting than our ordinary amusements, which are over after the actual has passed, poetry lives with us continually. For after we have laid our book aside, we do not stop thinking of the worths ol wisdom we have just read—the thoughts keep recurring to us time and again, and till our lives with a calmness which we cannot get otherwise. As Wordsworth said after he had seen a field of golden daffodils waving in the breeze; “Oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye, Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.” Lovers of poetry are never lonesome, for they always have beautiful thoughts and expressions to occupy their minds. Their “library is dukedom large enough.” Poetry brills up face to face with great ideals, uplifting us with our sense of rc®onsibilities. We realize more fully the demands of life, and understand more readily tin1 “far-off divine event” toward which we move, after we have heard Seinburne’s ringing call. “---------this thing is Clod, To be man with thy might, To grow straight in the strength Of thy spirit, and live out thv life As thy light.” The poet holds the key of our inmost being. For if is lie, who, by virtue of inspired insight, places before us in the truest, most attractive style, new truths, or old, neglected truths, which we, in our ignorance, have overlooked or discarded. Wordsworth is a good example of this. He saw nature anew, and made others see something of its fresh beauty. He described rural objects as they affect human hearts—he showed how nature and the 55 L A W R E X C E 19 2 f A X X U A I. soul of man lit into each other, and what exquisite jov comes from the contact, lie conceived of nature as a “living presence” through which the ‘‘Sovereign mind holds intercourse with man.” Rudyard Kipling has given us a beautiful, inspiring truth in his “I Envoie.” “And only the blaster shall praise us, And only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, And no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, And each in his separate star, Shall draw tin Thing as he sees Tt, For the (lod of Things as They are.” For three thousand years, since Homer, poets have been pouring forth their souls to us, and painting for us human nature. And human nature does not change with the ages. So we, tonight, who are going out into the world, from the seclusion and protection of home and school, hope that these poets have instilled in us true ambition and high ideals, and that they will continue to prove a beacon of light to guide us through life. We say with Browning: “1 go to prove my soul! F see my way as birds their trackless way, F shall arrive! What time, what circuit first, 1 ask not; but unless (lod send his hail Of blinding fireballs, sheet or stifling snow In some time, His good time, I shall arrive.” —Edith Ivondell.

The entertainment was of a novel nature being composed of a playlet of a court trial and verdict. This unusual feature at a dance was only surpassed by tin beautiful decorations which the Juniors spent countless hours arranging. They consisted of strings of pink swung around the gynasium making that room a bower of The Monarch of Flowers.

These are a few of the facts in regard to the classes that have gone out from Lawrence High School from 1898 to and including the class of June 1924. The grand total of graduates is 291, 121 boys and 170 girls. Of this number 12 have died. Our alumni have been ambitious, 167 of them continuing the work begun in Lawrence High School in higher institutions of learning. Thirty-nine of our graduates have studied to be teachers, 12 have become lawyers, 8 have studied medicine in one form or another, 4 have taken it unto themselves to spread the (lospel and 100 have married. When the great World War came along seventeen of our men entered—sixteen returned, some of them maimed and ill. Many of our people have gone out into the business world and all taking important positions in local and state activities. The class of 1898 contained two members—one boy and one girl; while the class of 1924 contained 37) members—15 boys and 20 girls. If the class of 1925 succeeds it will add 50 to the number. NOTES Meredith L. Kent (1919) will graduate from New York University in June, with the degree of B. B. S. (Bachelor of Business Science). Mr. Kent expects to spend several weeks of the coming summer in Europe. Hilda Cooke (1924) has accepted a position with the National Bank of Far Rockaway. Mr. and Mrs. Henry (leidel of Washington Ave.. are the proud parents of a son. Mrs. (leidel was formerly Miss Marie Pretz (1919). From a Freshman class of 500 in Smith College 34 were chosen for the Dean’s List. Two of this number were from Lawrence High School, both of the class of June 1924, Marjorie MacDonald and Marion Kuhn. Miss May (Jertrude Caton, 21, died recently in the Peck Memorial Hospital, Brooklvn. She was a graduate of Lawrence High School in the class of 1921. Thomas M. Roche (1917) is named as a director of the newly formed Eichelman Builders, Inc., of Lvnbrook, which received a charter from the State Department. Ray Barbuti (1924) represented Syracuse University in the National Intercollegiate indoor track and field meet, held in Manhattan on March 7. Ruth Balcom (1917) was married on May 12, to L. Wallace Burdick of Milton, Wisconsin. The wedding took place at the Little Church Around the Corner, New York. Miss Balcom is also a graduate of Cornell University with the degree of A. B. Miss Sarah Searles (1917) acted as bridesmaid to Miss Balcom. 66 TREBLE CLEF CLUB Mary DeMott, Carol llirshhorn, .Joan Post, Bello Kolbe, Eleanor Stone, Marion Ran, Eleanor Hollister, Alice Pretz, Edith Kondell, Evelyn Korn, Anne Stafford, Secretary; Alice Reeveland, Regina Gcld-berg, Sylvia Herman, Anita Sadler, Jeanette Janofsky, Trene Adel-berg Louise Beaman, Mildred Craft, Ruth Hollister, Lillian Rosenthal, Rose Press, Alma (iraef, Norma Liebling, Suzette Salen, Beatrice Weisman, Louise Ripin, Treasurer; Mildred Sandresser, Emily Solomon, Roslyn Titman, Fay Frank, President; Alice Endler, Ann Week-stein, Rhoda Rosenberg, Ruth Hirsh, Marjorie Platz, Roslyn Israel, Evelyn Levinson, Rita Salomon, Jane Joseph, Ruth Strauss, Doris Landay, Margaret Bloomquist, Edith Castle, Jeannette Craft .

Coach Pierce, through liis great efforts, finally organized a winning team, from green material. Frank Cestari, who was elected Captain for 1924, also deserves credit for liis wonderful leadership and exceptional playing on the gridiron. He and his team mates, all of whom are classed as fighters, played through the entire season with a hard schedule, and took second place in the league only to he surpassed by Hempstead who won first place. As far as individual brilliancy goes, Carolan, Wolf, Schlief and Keppler all took care of the ends of their team. Captain Cestari and Doniger filled left and right tackle respectively, without fault. Oxford, (Jabriel, Hicks and Wolf comprised the baekfield, which performed excellent gridiron work. Henry Behrens faithfully played center and played it as well as it could be played.

It is to fulfill this purpose that we have written this column which is made up of memoranda of hitherto unwritten incidents of this last year. We have sifted the year’s events and the results are as follows: Most important of all, let us consider the Senior play which ranks higher than any other ever produced by Lawrence. Yet in the writeups of the play no one has commented on the artistic effect of i. Levin’s profile outlined against the blue of the half opened door nor—has tiny any one prior to this sung the praise of his beautifully curved “sideboards.” Larry Phipps’ heroism has been lightly skipped over as other heroic acts have been. Although seriously ill lie came on the evening of the 21st and did his part in making the play the success that it was. The result was that Larry was ill for a week but—his characterization of “Kitson” is entered in the Hall of Fame for Butlers next to Johnny MacWalter’s “Lush” and across from Joe Ballet’s “Tony.” Annette Rubinstein’s gushiness as Mrs. Leavitt has also escaped comment although her tones contained so much sweetness that they fairly splashed in great drops on the stage when she bubbled over. Harold (Ireenfield has been “canonized to the skies” for his excellent work as Pete Swallow. It is our privilege, however, to be the first to commemorate his acting in verse. Ahem! “Here’s to Swallow, ‘tumbstun’ man, Who hails from Indiana. He shook his salad fork in such A fascinating manna.” Ol course, we mustn’t forget the telephone which was the only member of the cast that forgot its cue and almost gave the actors nervous prostration when it failed to ring at the right time. When one considers, however, that the phone bell was of humble origin being only an alarm clock before its graduation into society, the crime was forgiveable. Probably in its youth, the clock belonged to a habitually late student who taught it to be unreliable in order that it serve as an alibi for tardiness. Maybe it belonged to Elise Hicks and then—maybe it didn’t. Roslyn Titman’s marvelous interpretation of “Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigli” also inspires us to express our admiration in verse. With Mrs. I jeigh, who had the will To bring to pass her every wish, We have but this one fault to find— She called her Ma a jelly fish!! 84 L A W R E N C E 19 2 5 A N N U A L Do von who saw the play remember Jennie Janofsky’s affection as Violet for the “dear, little pigs?” Of course you do and you couldn’t possibly forget the calf like look of adoration on Bill’s face when Jenny said “Yes.” Leaving the stars of the spotlight we turn to Billy Salomon who convulsed the school with laughter and achieved fame by spilling a bottle of ink on a seat in ('hem. Lab. The story of her act and of how Mr. ( lawson unknowingly sat in the ink (probably as an experiment) has become school history. As long as Lawrence High continues to stand the tale will be told and the corridor will re-echo as some talented Prosit enacts Billy’s mad (light through the hall screaming to the unsuspecting, enthroned teacher, “(let out of that seat! (Jet out of that seat!” We also wish to remind you of the “candidates for detention” and of how when Monroe Sherwin’s name was among them he was compelled to refuse the nomination because as he said “his excuse disqualified him.” Monroe, you remember, is the Senior who said he had heard Win. Jennings Bryan speak and although he didn’t agree with some of Mr. Bryan’s opinions “he didn’t argue with him.” Now the play is about over. The tragedy has been wept over and the comedy has caused laughter but as other good things it must end. Slowly, as the actors acknowledge the audience’s enthusiastic ovations the curtain is sweeping toward the floor and as the last strains of music echo through the hall, the play comes to an end. . —E. Hollister ’25. SiS 3. lALMJr TIk Lawrencian Orchestra which was originally organized for the purpose of school entertainment, has burst from its shell of obscurity into the limelight of recognition.

Teachers Stude: “lie was adopted and treated as a son born by birth.” A MODERN AESOP Mr. Clawson: “Tell me the little fable about light I told you yesterday, Jack.” Jack Peek: “Well, if we could travel twice as fast as light we could see things the minute before they happen.” Molly: “That's a fable, alright.” “SHAKE NOT THY GORY LOCKS AT ME” A wise person, upon buying two chocolate bars: “Say, Miss, 1 want two Nestles.” A POOR SCOTCHMAN Miss Hobbs (collecting for review books): “Can anyone give me two nickels for a dime?” Bill Doniger (eager to say something): “No. But I’ll give vou two dimes for a nickel.” A story often told about President Coolidge occurred when the President was a member of the state legislature. One of Mr. Coolidge’s colleagues asked him whether one speaks of hens as “sitting” or “setting.” Yell, replied Mr. Coolidge, “up our way it isn't so much a question of whether they are ‘sitting’ or ‘setting’’as it is whether they are ‘laying’ or ‘lying’.” Miss Jensen, in English: “He lived to see himself given a royal burial.” BRIEF Question: Resolved, that sleeping at a concert is not “quite the thing.” 88 r. For several musical seasons, I have attended concerts of all descriptions, and have come to the conclusion that sleeping at a concert is rather an old and vulgar habit. If. It lias been suggested to the “fast set that sleeping is as essential as coming in late. III. Many “highbrows” infest the music halls only to keep both eyes and ears open. IV. Both sides admit that: a. Sleeping in a bed is more comfortable. b. Sleeping at home is loss expensive. c. Sleeping in a concert hall i- permissible if the music is tor charity, or the wife insists on your presence. d. Some of the musicians ought to sleep. e. Snoring, which is likely to accompany sleep, might become troublesome to persons nearby. f. Nodding of head in slumber is not flattering to most people. V. The question, them, is whether the conditions can be improved or not. a. Can longer hours of sleep nightly help? b. Can a troublesome child, by accompanying the persons subjected to napping, be of assistance in the music hall? BRIEF PROPER I. Sleeping at a concert is not proper or “quite the thing.” a. A concert is for the enjoyment of the ears, and not an intermediate step to slumber. b. Snoring, whether boisterous or not, is not in vogue. c. Stretching, which follows repose, may prove dangerous. 1. Falling off the seat, which is apt to occur, is a “blushable” crime. e. One is likely to miss one’s train or watch by negligent slumber. 1. Other crooks hear music also. II. Strict attention is the unwritten law of concert goers. a. By sleeping, this law is broken, and ostracism is to be feared. b. Two hours is not a long time for an average weight person to keep his “blinkers” at attention. III. Conclusion: a. Sleeping, snoozing, slumbering, napping, or any other form of repose, is incorrect at a concert. 1. It is wrong. b. Sleeping at home is “quite the thing” (for a respectable person.). c. Slumber is allowable in a public transit or vehicle when one who ought to be sitting, stands nearby. d. Napping in the park is all right if you’re that kind of a person. 1. You and I, for instance. —Ira G. Haas, ’25. 89 L AWRENCE 19 2 5 ANNUAL IS THAT NICE! Henry Behrens—Would you care to go to the Senior Play Thursday night?
