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.”
