he Lawrencian Commemorating Three Hundred Ijears of the High School in America 3 1398 00341 3482 Published by the Senior Club of the Lawrence High School Lamrence, N. I]. THE LAWRENCIAN To Miss Elsie R. Tefjt High hopes, great enthusiasm, a difficult task, and little experience. This was the situation facing the newly-elected board which was to prepare the annual Lawrencian. Perhaps the most serious problem to be solved was the lack of experience on the part of the members of the staff. A bewildering number of advertisements, bids, and solicitors descended on Lawrence High School once again, enclosed in a protectively dense fog of technicality. The fog must be penetrated, the contracts must be awarded, the material must be assembled, and of course, the project must be financed. To Miss Tefft, Adviser of the Senior Class fell the difficulty of coordinating the efforts of the various committees toward a successful performance of these tasks, of advising the staff members of their duties and then judging the execution of these duties, and probably most important, of guiding firmly and tactfully the delicate Craft of Policy. A huge order, and one of whose results we know Miss Tefft is, and should be proud. And so, in a spirit of the greatest respect and gratitude, we dedicate this book to Miss Elsie Roana Tefft. Page four NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE Miss Elsie Tefft joined the Lawrence High School Faculty in 1920 after preparation at Alfred and Cornell Universities. During the fifteen years Miss Tefft has spent in Lawrence she has given generously of her time and ability to the cause of education. She has served almost continuously as Faculty adviser to Junior and Senior classes. For two years Miss Tefft served as President of the local Teachers’ Association. For the past two years she has served as chairman of the American History Committee on Curriculum Revision of the Lower Hudson History Teachers’ Association. Miss Tefft is now serving on a state committee to revise the entire Social Studies Syllabus for New York State. Page five THE LAWRENCIAN COMMEM On April 23, 1635, the citizens of Boston assembled at a town meeting, voted the establishment of the Boston Latin School to train boys for the ministry. This was the first act of its kind in the New World. By the end of the century, forty such Latin Schools had been established in New England. The era of the private academy followed next. This type of institution was adopted early in New York State where it flourished for a long while. In 1824, in Massachusetts, an institution of secondary education received the name “The English High School”, the first time that the designation of “High School” had been used to denote such an institution. A complete history of education would fill countless volumes, and it is not our purpose to give such a history here. In one hundred eighty-nine years, a system of education has been erected which, while nominally like the present one, was barely recognizable as its predecessor. Its curriculum bore almost no resemblance at all to the Pane six NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE ORATION one now in use and its methods and objectives were entirely different from those of this century. Very obviously there was a great gap to be bridged before the present standard was to be reached. Between 1824 and today lie roughly one hundred years. In these hundred years, great men have labored that we might enjoy the advantages of an efficient public-school education. The work is not completed, nor have the great men ceased in their efforts to improve and reform. At this moment, a new Lawrence High School building is being constructed. In the twenty-two years of its existence, the building which we now occupy has served a noble purpose, and now it must be replaced, for the future must ever be an improvement over the present. In conclusion, it seems fitting and proper that the fourth century of secondary education in this section of the country be ushered in with the erection of another milestone in the record of educational achievement, the new Lawrence High School.

Wright was appointed Superintendent of School District No. 15. Since that time Mr. Wright has devoted much of his time and ability to the reform and improvement of educational methods, having served as President of the Southeastern Zone of the State Teachers’ Association, President of the New York State Council of City and Village Superintendents, and is serving at present as a member of the Board of Governors of the New York Schoolmaster’s Club, and a member of the State Executive Committee of the State Teachers’ Association. In his local work, Mr. Wright has succeeded in maintaining a high standard of achievement throughout the district under his supervision. This result can be attributed largely to his acceptance of a cooperative rather than corrective method of procedure. Page eight NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE Cecil C. MacDonald Principal In 1913, on the completion of the newly constructed Lawrence High School, Mr. Cecil C. MacDonald arrived to assume the duties of Principal. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Delware and a Master’s degree in Education from Columbia University. To speak of Mr. MacDonald is to speak of Lawrence High School for he has devoted his years here to the maintenance of an excellent Regents record and high ideals in the face of over-crowded conditions. He has taken great pride in the large number of Lawrence graduates who have entered colleges all over the United States and achieved honors. Mr. MacDonald has the ability to enforce discipline and encourage scholarship and at the same time hold the admiration of the students. His ambition is for each student to strive to be both “a scholar and a gentleman”, an ideal for which he himself serves so well as a pattern.

THE LAWRENCIAN FOUR YEARS IN LAWRENCE The yenr 1931 was memorable for bein'? three years before the great blizzard of ’34. Also in this year, the class of ’35 entered Lawrence High and has since managed to steam through vicissitudes thick and thin, and is now graduating. To come to the point, however. As freshmen, we elected Myron Sanft as President, Miriam Doniger Vice-President, Caroline Chaiken Secretary, and WilPam Hawkins Treasurer. Miss Clause was the Faculty Adviser. We unobtrusively sponsored three contests: yo-yo. popularity, and opportunity, all well done. That was also the year Betty Marks and Lea Silver supplied talent to the Senior Play, “When Knighthood was in Flower”. Harrv Buxbaum made the football team. George Kirk the basketball, and Joe Gabriel performed on both. Ellen Haber was on the girls’ hockey squad and Eetty Marks on the swimming team. In 1932, we were already one-quarter of the way through high school— we were sophomores. The class organization of that year elected Gordon Rothstein President, Palmer Farrington Vice-President, Caroline Chaiken Secretary, and Joseph Bernstein Treasurer. Mr. Dodd gave counsel, Howard Basch, George Shaskan, Carl Zaum, Irving Schwartz, and Gordon Rothstein were our contribution of the year to the Honor Society. The Chess Club, Math Club, and Buskins absorbed many of our class that year. Members of the class composed about fifty percent of the Buskins Club, and Joseph DeRose, Jerry Adler, Molly Pastor, Betty Marks, Ellen Haber, George Shaskan, Ben Hepburn, Joe Gabriel, and Harry Buxbaum were members of the Varsity Club, and George Kirk was President. William Burns, Frank Canavan, and Howard Basch, moved strategically in Chess Club circles. The class saw its second Broadway show and was by now thoroughly imbued with the theatre-going habit. That section of the gradually shifting class that joined the Junior Club elected Natalie Cohen President, Donald Searles Vice-President, John Beves Treasurer, and chose Miss Leavitt to be Faculty Adviser. Lea Silver, Pearl Goldman, Betty Marks, Annette Newman, Barbara Fishel, Ellen Haber, Joyce Titelman, Bettina Aaronson, and Natalie Cohen were Buskineers in good standing. A large part of the Mental Pabulum Staff was composed of “thirty-fivers.” And finally we reached that happy condition known as “being a Senior”. As such we wisely chose George Shaskan Chief Medicine Man, Frank Canavan Vice-President, Allen Hanlon Secretary, and Joseph Cropsey Bulldog of the Treasury. Miss Tefft was again elected Senior Class Adviser. The Club competed successfully against the Senior Class of Woodmere High School in a contest in selling subscriptions to the Nassau Herald. An Amateur Contest was conducted which resulted satisfactorily enough to have been professional, and the traditional Senior Play, Booth Tarkington’s “Seventeen” this year, was excellently performed and with profit. The Annual has been published (obviously) and the Senior Prom will be given at the end of June. Thus ends the chronicle of our doings during these enjoyable four years. And so, we depart.............. Page twenty-eight NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE 1935 CLASS SONG to the tune of “THE OLD REFRAIN” by Fritz Kreisler Goodbye to joyous hours in Lawrence High, In memory I’ll keep those days gone by, I’ll live them o’er again, again I’ll see, Familiar rooms and halls so dear to me. Long after lessons learned have gone their way Your influence will always with me stay, And though I travel far away from you, To you, dear Alma Mater, I’ll be true. Though nevermore will come those treasured days The dreams will linger in our hearts always, So let each loyal student rise and sing, And cheer the buff and blue till rafters ring. by Shirley Ray and Helvn Cohen. Page twenty-nine THE LAWRENCIAN PROPHECY A take off on that famous aeroplane. “The Prophecy”, piloted by Lawrence Hyschool Sr., renowned fortune-teller. Whiz-z-z, off to a flying start. First stop—England, where Sir George Shank-ail is speaking on “Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”! At the same time the season’s prettiest debutantes, Ruth Slifka, Shirley Hirschkorn. and Lucille Weisenberg are to be presented at court. Ah-h-h onward to France—France—there the “Modes of Gladvs” establishment has employed such lovely models as Ruth Roth, Harriette Blefeld, and the languorous Rita Cohen. This establishment is patronized by such notables as the wealthy heiress, Elaine Kantrowitz, that keen woman politician, Annette Newman and many others. Mademoiselle Cantor has employed that well-built, swaggering, Harry Buxbaum as chief “bouncer” for undesirable bargain-hunters. Time out for lunch. At one of those breezy open-air restaurants “Lion with the Ladies” Moldauer is trying to wile away the chic and petite Marion Jennings, and seeing that his talents are being wasted (as this little lady isn’t the type) he trys his charms on that pretty cigarette-girl Jacqueline Birkhahn, who also resents his attentions. Downhearted at these results “Lion” picks up a newspaper and becomes interested in the following headlines—Josephine Tanous, “Torch-Singer” rises to great fame. On another page he sees the column “Talk of the Town” by Bettina Aaronson which includes the following: suave and debonair Harry Jaffa acclaimed best-dressed man in town, Shirley Ray and Helyn Cohen radio artists are on a program entitled the “Speedy Sunbeams”. In another column there is this message: “Dear Pop, Am lost in the fog in England”—Your son, Herbert Glucksman. “La Cucaracha”-“La Cucaracha”—Spain—“Toreador” Farrington has thrown the bull successfully while singing “Abie’s Irish Rose”. In another section “Ambling” Wesley Grant and that notorious desperado John Davidson are seen tussling, while Senorita Frances (of short Hite) serenades them. Now to the wilds of Africa. Irwin Eisen, Victor Librizzi, John Op-penheimer, Foster Rosenthal and James McKiernan, missionaries are trying to persuade the wild women of Borneo to wear hair-nets!!! Far-off, dancing to the weird music of the tom-toms are the graceful Mary Cordner, Rita Weingold, Irmise Denis, Antenesca Gentile and Viola Boccia. A knitting school has been started by Barbara Fisliel to quiet the nerves of the cannibals which have been shot thru bridge playing, taught them by Harriette Alper, Myra Heilman, Margery Slater, Simone Israel, and Shirley Brotman wandering bridgists. Now Lawrence Hyschool Sr. thinks it time for bed, but how sad; he has insomnia, so he picks up a magazine and glances thru it, spotting the handsome face of Albert Post who models for collar ads. Off to visit the Arabs in Arabia. That sleek sheik David Kraushaar has in his harem the following lovely ladies: Edythe Gromet, Jennie Vairo, Lois Parks, Teresa Candreva, Rose Ronis, Egeria MingoUa and Rose Gray whose brother, Louis, a neighboring sheik, carefully watches over his precious sister’s welfare. In the desert away from all, lives that lonely gentleman Burton Rubenstein, “The man nobody knows”. Page thirty NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE Adelaide Guggenheim, Oris Calabr'a. and Ellen Haber are touring the country advising the citizenry to vote the independent ticket in the election for the Wazirship of the Imperial Harem. At Sydney, Australia, linked thru the arms of the swaggering Sailor Beves, are Betty Marks and Lea Silver. John isn’t doing badly. Across the world to Italy—Sunday morning at church—the choir boys, Robert Shapiro, Donald Searles, Edward Reilly, Robert Jacoby, Robert Dinerstein, Walter Dodge and George Miller are singing sweet melodies led by “Maestro” Howard Basch. At the altar is the-pensive nun, Deborah Landsberg praying silently .... silent'y- A week later. Saturday night, off to Turkey for a Turkish bath, where ‘‘Joe Gabriel demonstrates the difference between a good and bad turkish towel and Gabriel Wishbow is the rubber-downer. Back to the dear U. S. A.—at Madison Square Garden N. Y. C.—a fight is being held between Tiger Adolph Greenberg and “Killer” Cropsey. Referee Carl Zaum. In the audience are such celebrities as Star Reporter, Seymour Berkman, “The Great Lover”, Jerry ZirinSky, Seymour Playboy” Smigrod, Gertrude Warshawsky, pursuer of child-study, George Kirk, professional basketball player, the “Man About Town” Albert Koppe and Martin Stamile, wild cow-boy. The artists Gertrude George and Henry Witzel have painted the fight for posterity. The next stop after leaving the Gardens is at that celebrated night-club “Krazy-Cat” where Jerry Kanner is the bugler to attract attention to the club and where Frank Canavan is Master of Ceremonies and there are such gorgeous hostesses as Pearl Goldman, Frances Belcastro, Clara Mongardi, Janet Kohn, Molly “Hot-cha” Pastor, Viola Player and Janet Biesenthal and such handsome gigolo’s as Myer Blumenthal, Malcolm Hendelman, Warren Dattlebaum, Martin Weingold, Ben Hepburn and Jerry Adler. The music is provided by Allen Hanlon and his orchestra including George Forman, John DeCay, Thomas Mason, Pasquale Messinetti and Leo Laakso. Tonight being a gala night there are such special attractions as Natalie Cohen, flute player; Joseph De Rose and Mary De Rosa, adagio dancers. Allen Miner speaks on—“How it feels to be a stage-door Johnnie”; Peter Longer, Leonard George and our own Roslyn Jacobs are the genial beaming hosts. Onward to Alice Robinson’s new smash hit play, with the following actors and actresses, Richard Cleaver and Kenneth Oehler, Song and Dance men; Richard Croker, juvenile actor in the leading masculine role, David Payne as “The man that brought down the roof”; Joyce Titleman, pianist; Muriel Labadorf, Vera Taylor and Marion Holman as the “Singing Ladies”; Hum-de-de-do! Thomas Hurley as the villain and Edmund Naccash and Edward Rothenberg tap dancers. Homeward bound signs along the avenue are worthy of notice, such as: Arthur Corner for President; Develop your personality the Janet Eliscu Way; For Curly hair and burly muscles see Burton Vigdor and Albert Sokoloff; Improve your dancing with Irving Schwartz as your teacher and watch Diane Brooks his star pupil; Have a good police force with Walter Peters as chief patrolman and defective. Flash!!!—the aeroplane, “The Prophecy” has crashed! —Evangeline Charlat Page thirty-one THE LAWRENCIAN THE SENIOR PLAY This year, Miss Grace Ellsworth chose Booth Tarkington’s “Seventeen” for the Annual Senior Class Play. The choice was especially appropriate because of the high adaptability of this nlav for production by people of our age. “Seventeen” rings so true that its very sincerity was difficult to interpret, at times. The play was performed twice, on the evenings of Friday and Saturday. April 5 and 6, with a dress rehearsal on Friday afternoon, which was also something of a preview. The curtain rose (parted, to be more exact) on Mr. Svlvanus Baxter, played really well by Harvey Moldauer, calling for Mary, his wife. Alice Robinson, playing the part of little Jane Baxter, enters instead, and thereupon begins an accurate portrayal of the mischievous but lovable little sister, which soon won acclaim from the audience. Ellen Haber gave a very sympathetic and understanding interpretation of the role of Mrs. Baxter, who had the mountainous task of placating a husband whose temper was ruffled occasionally by a son whose character forms the foundation of the play, and who was a problem himself. Booth Tarkington summoned Willy Baxter from out of his vast store of knowledge of human nature, and Irving Schwartz did full justice to the deeply human part assigned him and brought home poignantly all of the humor, pathos, and tenderness of “almost eighteen”. Merry Oris Calabria fitted so wonderfully well into his part of Johnny Watson that his performance became an enjoyable relaxation for the audience, who showed their appreciation of Oris’ skill by much and sincere applause. Barbara Fishel undertook the slightly less complicated role of May Parcher, and successfully endowed it with all the living warmth which Booth Tarkington originally meant for it. At this point Betty Marks as Lola Pratt, the “visiting girl” appears and immediately entrances the entire male section with her carefully planned emptiness, which succeeds so well with poor “seventeen , who is not the goal of the beautiful “Baby-Talk Lady’s” wiles. She, in her well-concealed wisdom, seeks (alas!) more substance than “Ickle-Boy Baxter” can provide. “Ickle-Boy” is therefore promptly forgotten. (Darling Flopit” played by “Pinky” deserves honorable mention if only for the pleasure affored by her during rehearsals). Melvin Marks, as Genesis, came through in a part that no one else would even attempt. To the audience’s delighted applause, we add our own. Allen Miner, in the part of Willy’s rival Joe Bullitt, was so convincing that his performance gave the impression of being Allen himself. Edmund Naccash portrayed the long-suffering Mr. Edward Parcher, and inspired genuine sympathy at his being forced through a concentrated course of baby-talk and acidulous singing. George Crooper, played by John Oppenheimer, slapped backs and came near enough to success with Cousin Lola to elicit groans from Willy and Joe. Ethel Boke, the girl who came late, was done by Bettina Aaronson, and well done it was, too. I’age thirty-two NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE Frank Canavan appeared for fifty-five seconds by live clock as enthusiastic Wally Ranks. Frank spent his unfortunately large amount of spare time in valuable work on the stage crew. No time was wasted by this lad. And to round off the cast, Rita Cohen entered in the part of quiet Mary Brooks. Music for the overture was supplied by Bettina Aaronson playing a piano solo. An orchestra led by Allen Hanlon and composed of Shirley Brotman, Helyn Cohen, Alan Jackson, Edward Star, and Silven Oliveri played during the intermissions and in the last scene, that in which the dance takes place. The following people aided greatly in making the play a great success: TICKET SALES AND ADVERTISING Chairman .....................................

As Senior Classes go (and they do go. sooner or later) thev were very good and I’ll miss them. Rut to work, to work. Who’s the first one?” “One Burns. William by appellation.” said the second gravedigger. “Ah. but he was a broth of a boy,” observed the first gravedigger, who could wax Gaelic on occasion, “and who’s next?” “Bettina Aaronson, of beloved memory, and her lips are still moving.” “Here’s where the old simile ‘Silent as the grave’ goes into disrepute.” “Boss,” said the second gravedigger, “now we bury Malcolm Hendleman.” “Do you think we should?” asked the first gravedigger. “Sure why not?” “Very well, down with him. R. I. P.” “Who’s next,” inouired the first gravedigger. “Gee, boss. I don’t know, there’s no name-tag on him, just a number.” “One of Miss Jensen’s students, no doubt,” mused the first gravedigger, “well, hand him here, and we’ll have a look at him. Say, that’s the Vice-Pres. Now, who is the Vice-President?” “Yes, who is the Vice-President?” “Didn’t his name begin with an x, or a k, or possibly a q, or indeed, maybe it was a g?” “Yes. boss.” At this point the corpse sat up and said, “Canavan’s the name.” “Ah, so ’tis, so ’tis. Ah well, I do be getting forgetful at times, and it isn’t the name of every Tom, Dick and Vice-Pres. I can remember. Give me the next one.” “It’s Henry Witzel, that artist feller.” “Did he pay his dues?” “Yes.” “All right, throw him in.” “Throw over the next one,” barked the first gravedigger, who waxed military at times. “Begging your pardon, sir, but it’s by way of being a lady, Marion Holman to be exact.” “Yes, ah, yes, a fair flower, a veritable gem, with a voice like a tinkling brook—what rhymes with brook?” “Now, now, boss, don’t use all your adjectives; we’ve only buried one percent of the females as yet.” “That’s so, to be sure, to be sure. Well, who’s next?” “Oris Calabria, a great fellow, boss.” “I know, I know, but the question is—this mightn’t be the right grave for him. Do you know if it is?” “Gosh, boss, I don’t know. This is serious.” “Indeed, this is a grave situation.” At which the corpse gave a low moan and slid into the grave, and there they left him. “Well,” barked the first gravedigger (still military) do I have to ask you who’s next? Can’t you speak up?” Page thirty-six NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE “Oh, sure, boss, but I’m undecided about this fellow. It’s Seymour Smigrod, boss, and he’s—boss, he’s a Ping-pong player.” There followed forthwith a lengthy discussion ori the haunts, habits and morals of Ping-pong players, and the propriety of interring these with non-Ping-Pong Players. He was buried. Next Adolph Greenberg was stowed away with full Senior honors, but he nearly gummed up the procedure by entering into a heated discussion on the merits of spades versus shovels for cemetery purposes. Next was a boy with his hair in his eyes, Walter Peters. “That’s no way for a decent Senior to be nut away,” said the first gravedigger, “comb the lad’s hair for him, you.” “No, boss, he wouldn’t be used to it. I don’t think he’d like to have his hair combed, so I won’t do it.” “Oh, do it and stop arguing,” said the corpse. “Boss,” cried the second gravedigger, “I won’t have a lot of dead Seniors talking back at me that way. It’s not right.” The first gravedigger was forced to agree, and so, still demanding that his hair be combed, Walter Peters was laid away, and silenced with sod. “Say,” upped the second gravedigger, “this next one might overlap.” “Quod essedum est, erit,” replied the first, “this fellow is the aural aviafor, Dinerstein.” At precisely that point, the corpse popped up and mumbled, “Did Mr. Davison say it was okay for me to be planted here?” A spadeful of earth properly deposited on the corpse’s head, disposed of the matter. “Do you notice how vociferous these Seniors are, even when defunct?” asked the first gravedigger. “Yes, indeed, boss,” replied the second, or auxiliary digger of graves, “and something ought to be done about it. I suggest gagging them.” “Not a bad idea, but a gagged corpse strikes me as rather a novelty. Not quite the thing, and all that rot.” “But, boss, something must be done.” “List to me, son. For four years a multitude of teachers has tried to silence these Seniors, and where they have failed not even the grave can succeed.” And having uttered this noble sentiment, the first gravedigger drew himself up, struck an attitude, and tripped into an open grave. Absent-mindedly the second gravedigger covered him up, and went on disposing of the Seniors by himself, albeit he did wonder vaguely what had become of his boss. And among the unidentified were Alice Robinson, Joe Gabriel, John Baltes, Howard Basch, Lucille Weisenberg, the rest of the class, and two people named Joe, not to mention our beloved president, who goes by the name of Shaskan. Page thirty-seven HE LAWRENCIAN LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF CLASS OF 35 We, the Senior Class of ’35, being in full possession of all faculties and having an approximate idea of what we are doing, do hereby bequeath and bequest the following to the following: To Mr. Ahner, we leave a complete tea-set for use by Science students whose minds are elsewhere during lectures. Also, a large tree with fifty square yards of green sward on which to play ring-around-a-rosie. To Mr. Davison, we leave a Yale lock; indeed two Yale locks, an old patrol wagon, erasers with chains attached, and other appropriate miscellany to do with as he sees fit. To the English Room, we leave the honor or blame of fostering the blackboard newspapers, which served at least the English classes as object lessons of what not to do. To the old school, we leave a disagreeable mass of chewing gum, semi-masticated and wholly masticated, distributed throughout the school, under the desks, in advanced stages of desiccation. To the Science Department, we leave the worry, (or pleasure to give the popular point of view) of choosing new Lab Assistants. To the next class, we leave ourselves as a guiding light and the hope that they may be like us. To no one in particular, we leave everything in general, out of the goodness of our hearts. To Miss Tefft, we refuse to leave the hope that she will again be chosen as Faculty Adviser. To the next one to attempt to write a Class Will, we leave a motto, “Cui, quod?” Signed, US. Page thirty-eight HO THE LAWRENCIAN LAWRENCIAN STAFF The Lawrencian Staff organized last November is led by the capable Joseph Cropsey with Albert Post as Assistant Editor. The class chose Allen Hanlon as Business Manager with Ellen Haber, Assistant Manager. Others on this board are Myer Blumenthal, Joseph de Rose, Malcolm Hendleman, Robert Jacoby, James McKiernan, and Donald Searles. Irwin Eisen is in charge of the Photography Board assisted by Robert Dinerstein, Adolph Greenberg, and Betty Marks. The Senior Writeups Board is headed by Frank Canavan. Others on this board are William Burns, Evangeline Charlat. Barbara Fishel, Annette Newman, Harvey Moldauer, and Irving Schwartz. Gertrude George and Henry Witzel constitute the Art Board, John Oppenheimer is in charge of the Local Writeups with the assistance of Howard Basch and Shirley Ray. The Sports Board is in charge of Joseph Gabriel whose assistants are Jerry Adler and Palmer Farrington. Jacqueline Birkhahn is Chairman of the Typists. Others are Helyn Cohen, Clara Mongardi, and Lois Parks. MENTAL PABULUM STAFF Thanksgiving marked the third anniversary of the Mental Pabulum, our official school newspaper. Editor-in-Chief is Bertram Moser, Sports Editor Robert Jacoby, Advertising Manager Malcolm Hendleman, Business and Distribution Manager Anna Persico, and Faculty Advisers Mrs. Denton and Mr. Correll. The Newspaper Club has approximately ninety members from all classes, forty of whom are on the staff. This large cooperative group has done splendid work and deserves every student’s support. Page forty NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE DEBATING SOCIETY The Debating Society has had a series of interesting discussions on present day topics. The membership was divided by lot into two teams. Our Faculty Adviser was Mr. Davison, President Joseph Cropsey, Vice President Irving Schwartz, and Secretary Frank Canavan. Momentous questions such as “Naval Parity”, “Restriction of immigration”, and “Unemployment Insurance” were freely thrown into the forum and made the object of considerable polemic effort on the part of the youthful orators. The debates were judged by the Faculty Adviser. It is believed that the team is now sufficiently experienced to enter interscholastic competition. SCI ENCE CLUB This year saw Lawrence organize its first Science Club under the direction of Mr. Ahner. Edmund Naccash was President, Edward Rothenberg Vice President, William Burns Secretary, and Irwin Eisen Treasurer. At each meeting different members presented interesting experiments. The club also sponsored a chemical exhibition for the benefit of the general student body. Several trips were made to places of scientific interest. Considerable credit is due Mr. Ahner who has aroused a new and greater interest in science which will, no doubt, be an templating courses in this department. Page forty-one incentive to students con- « FRESHMAN CLUB At the organization meeting in October, the Club numbered about forty. Arthur Lipkint was elected President, Sue Van Praag Vice President, Desiree Bucchioni Secretary, Paul Nebenzahl Treasurer, and Mr. Coombs Faculty Adviser. The group undertook the sale of magazine subscriptions which produced a profit of about ten dollars. This, plus the monthly dues of twenty-five cents gave the treasurer the unusual financial worry “what to do with the money?” One of the young philanthropic financiers proposed that instead of spending the money on seats for a Broadway show, which previous Clubs have done, the Club could easily find poor families who would appreciate food baskets. After some discussion the proposal was adopted. Another contribution of five dollars was made to the Community Chest Fund. SOPHOMORE CLUB The Sophomores accomplished a great deal, despite the fact that they were late in getting organized. President was Peter Digilio, Vice President Muriel Gross, Secretary June Hyams, Treasurer George Finkelstein, and Faculty Adviser Mr. Out-terson. They adopted as their aim “Make the school a better place in which to study”. The regime of stormy class meetings was overthrown and supplanted with parliamentary order. This “Class of ’37” had several fine ideas. They drew up a Constitution to govern their Club, visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and are preparing a school club schedule in order that meetings of various clubs shall not conflict. Page forty-two NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE CHESS CLUB This year’s Chess Team gave Lawrence its first championship in that ancient game. Faculty Adviser was Mr. Schwab, President David Kraushaar, Vice President Gabriel Wishbow, Secretary Seymour Berkman, and Treasurer Alvin Chenkin. Lawrence defeated Jamaica, Far Rockaway, Bryant, Newton, and drew with Flushing to win first place in the Queen’s Chess League. The team was composed of Captain Arthur Mernit first man, Alvin Chenkin second man, Robert Klein third man, and Joseph Bressman fourth man. The team also had the honor of playing Isaac Kashdan, America’s first ranking chess player, and after a gruelling five hour match obtained a draw game. This star team will not be affected by June graduation and should retain the championship for at least another year. MATH. CLUB The Math. Club was divided into teams which engaged in several competitive tests. Miss Wood, Faculty Adviser, and Mr. Simmonds made considerable effort to instruct the members in the numerical interpretation of letters and the mysteries of equations. Irving Schwartz was President. Annette Newman Vice President, Marion Holman Secretary, and George Shaskan Treasurer. This practice was preliminary to the selection of the team to represent Lawrence in the Interscholastic Contest at N. Y. U. Featured among the Club’s activities were a treasure hunt solved by the solutions of mathematical problems and a Christmas party. Page forty-three f THE LAWRENCIAN BUSKI NS CLUB In emphasizing the social side of school, the Buskins held several meetings at which regular business was suspended, and different activities taken up. Harold Prigozen was elected President, Philip Sobel Vice President, Dorothy Gluck Secretary, Shirley Ray Treasurer, and Robert Herman Librarian-Historian. Varied entertainment was provided, plays were reviewed, discussed, and read, different members taking the parts at different times. Because of the demand for further increasing the scope of drama, they incorporated several other fields closely related to drama, such as stage setting, lighting, painting, and music. This made it possible to broaden the membership to include those interested in other fields as well as drama. HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society was instituted ten years ago for the purpose of promoting service to the school, scholarship competition, and continuance of Lawrence’s high scholarship record. This year Irving Schwartz is President, Howard Basch Vice President, Carl Zaum Secretary, George Shaskan Treasurer, and Mr. MacDonald Faculty Adviser. For the reason that many members of the Society graduated last year and because Freshmen are not admitted to membership, the Honor Society has this year only eight members. The Society looks forward to increasing membership at the end of the term. New members are chosen from the students who have had their names on the monthly honor lists the greatest number of times. The Society stands as a monument of the fine scholastic record Lawrence High School has established throughout the State. Page forty-four — NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE Lawrence added to its varied list of sports the ever-increasingly interesting game of ping pong. Our President was Irving Schwartz, Vice President Howard Wiener, Secretary-Treasurer Howard Basch, and Faculty Adviser Mr. Boschert. Considering the recent advent of the game in the sports curriculum, it is surprising that so many were attracted to it. The mat ial was splendid and in a short time an aggressive team was formed which went through the entire season undefeated. The team was composed of Bernstein, Samek, Glinert, and Adler. RIDING CLUB The Riding Club has been very successful in its first year of existence at Lawrence with a membership of forty-five, President Betty Marks and Manager Martin Schuck. The students rode nearly every week, using the Cedarhurst Riding Club as headquarters and soon formed a polo team. During the first term the members participated in an exciting hare and hounds chase. Membership in the club afforded students an excellent chance to improve their horsemanship. Page forty-five § THE LAWRENCIAN A I RPLANE CLUB The Airplane Club was successful in its first year in the school, attracting an enterprising group of students as members. President was Robert Weston, Vice-President Richard West, Secretary-Treasurer Leroy Millard, Supply Manager Bennet Ripin. Last November, the Club held a model-airplane contest and awarded two prizes to the two best models submitted by competing students. Edward Star and Marvin Brown won the prizes for building the best planes. So popular was this contest, that the Club made plans to hold another. The Club intends to continue its activities for many years to come. STAMP CLUB In March, a group of enthusiastic stamp collectors formed a Stamp Club at Lawrence. Leonard Gordon was President, Alex Zalman Vice-President. Arthur Falkenstein Secretary, Donald Searles Treasurer, and Miss Posner Faculty Adviser. Twenty-five students are included in the membership. In a short time, the Club had elected officers and held several meetings, in which they made many plans for the future. At each meeting, members tell stories behind the stamps and tell of interesting facts connected with philatelic activities. Stamps are traded and sold before and after the business meetings. The Club is responsible for fostering interest in stamps among the students. JUNIOR CLUB The Junior Club was late in forming this year but appears to be one of the foremost school clubs in activity and organization. Murray Laskey has been elected President, Dorothy Gluck Vice-President, Elizabeth Harris Secretary, Frances Mendelsohn Treasurer, and Mr. Sim-monds Faculty Adviser. They have a membership of twenty-one Junior students who are enthusiastically carrying on the spirit of the former Junior Clubs. A minstrel show, the first one to be held in the school this year, is being prepared by the Club. The Club plans to end the year by giving a dance or by attending a theatre in Manhattan. Page forty-six ATHLETICS I The Cheer-leaders, Eleanore Koch, Edward Reilly. Joan Hurley, and Gertrude Steiger, have been confronted with the problem of causing small crowds to emit loud noises. Their task was big, the effort great, and the results speak for themselves. VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club as always, continued to be a powerful factor in school athletics. President was Ren Hepburn, Vice President Victor Librizzi, Secretary Molly Pastor. Treasurer Harry Buxbaum, and Faculty Adviser Mr. Pierce. This group arranged intersectional basketball games for Lawrence. A game was played against Rogers High School of Newport, Rhode Island, at Newport, which Lawrence lost to the very close score of 15-14. On February 22nd, Lawrence played host to the Petersburg High team of Petersburg, Virginia, and won 29-28 in a thrilling contest. Page forty-eight ii hi ; i1 1 : BOYS' TENNIS Led by Captain Jerry Adler, the Boys’ Tennis Team again reigns the foremost team in Nassau. They overcame all scholastic opposition handily and then proceeded on to the Nassau Tournaments where several members of the team made splendid showings. Other members are “Billy” Stone, George Shaskan, and Joseph Bernstein. GIRLS' TENNIS The Tennis Team under Capatin Dorothy Gluck enjoyed a good season, breaking even in the number of matches played. Games were played with Far Rockaway. Woodmere, Baldwin, and Oceanside. Assisting Miss Gluck were, Marion Wolfsohn Natalie Cohen, Annette Newman, and Frances Mendelsohn. The outlook for next year is very promising. Page forty-nine THE LAWRENCIAN GIRLS' BASKETBALL 1935 saw the Girls’ Basketball Team, one of the most powerful units on Long Island. Led by Captain Molly Pastor, high scoring center, the team is making a great bid for the championship. Others on the team are Adele Otens, Lillian Frost, Muriel Vorback, Evelyn Mulheiser, and Lucille Brahms. Miss Otens in one game scored 34 points, a record. Credit is due Mrs. Barber for the excellent coaching she gave the team. GOLF This year finds the Golf Team ready for another championship. Led by “Pat” Stamile, holder of many records and assisted by “Bud” Davis, Palmer Farrington, John Langer, and John Davidson, little trouble is expected in gaining this year’s title. Many newcomers are hoping to win a place on the team, which will make the oldtimers put forth the best performance they can. Page fifty GIRL S' HOCKEY The hockey team proved to be a success this fall. Led by Molly Pastor the team engaged in eight games, winning three, tying two, and losing the remainder to overwhelming opposition. Every game was close and exciting, and not until the final whistle was blown, was the outcome determined. Others on the team were “Margie” Cullen, “Kay” Naughton, Letitia Hamilton, and Rosemary Grosse. Mrs. Barber has many plans for the future. GIRL S' TRACK TEAM The Girls’ Track Team this year has a very promising outlook. The presence of many versatile veterans led by Captain Molly Pastor and the appearance of numerous candidates assures us that Lawrence will be well represented on the fields. This year, as in previous years, the team will be coached by Mrs. Muriel Barber whose helpful advice has done much to develop winning squads. Several meets have been arranged with neighboring schools and it is predicted that Lawrence will come out on top. Among the veterans who will assist Miss Pastor are L. Hamilton, M. Cullen, and L. Gance. Page fifty-one THE LAWRENCIAN FOOTBALL ’34 The outlook at the beginning of the season was very bright. As the season progressed, many of the veterans dropped out, leaving the new and inexperienced players to carry on. As a result, Lawrence suffered the worst season on record. Lawrence tied a powerful Nassau Collegiate Center team and then lost the remaining league games. Credit is due to the team for the way they fought against heavier odds. BOYS’ BASKETBALL '35 1935 saw Lawrence possessing the most powerful team in years. Captain Harry Fredman has succeeded in filling George Kirk’s shoes as the leading scorer in Long Island, and teamed with him are Harry Buxbauni, Victor Librizzi, George Robertson, and Herbert Smith. Due to overwork, the team did not reach the peak that was expected of them, but they proved that they were one of the most feared teams on Long Island. This year Lawrence engaged in four intersectional games and emerged victorious in three. Rogers High School of Newport, Rhode Island, defeated Lawrence in a thrilling game by one point. Next, Lawrence traveled to Eastport, Long Island, and twice defeated Mr. Dodd’s highly praised Eastport High School team. Later, Lawrence was host to the Petersburg team of Virginia, and defeated them in what was considered the fastest game in years. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL A basketball team composed of those boys who cannot make the varsity team was formed under the guidance of Mr. Simmonds. The primary idea of the team is to acquaint boys with the game of basketball. Many promising youngsters have been discovered and in the future, may become varsity material. The team has had fail-success with its schedule and a satisfactory finish is expected. BOYS’ BASEBALL ’35 Lawrence holds high hopes for a successful baseball team. Many veterans and promising newcomers make the outlook bright. Mr. Simmonds, our new coach, will help the boys with his vast experience in this game. The intersectional games proved such a success in basketball that Mr. Simmonds is trying to arrange some games with some of New York City’s leading teams. Those who are expected to be again in uniform are “Bud” Sherwin, “Bob” Hocter, “Hink” Sprague, “Jerry” Cohen. Harry Fredman, “Elly” Asinof, and Edward MacDonell. BOYS’ TRACK TEAM ’35 Lawrence has always put out good track teams and again this year a winning group is expected. Mr. Simmonds and Mr. Outterson are acting as coaches. Some of the veteran performers are Adolph Greenberg, Joseph De Rose, John De Cay, and Irving Niditch. BOYS’ SWIMMING TEAM The recently formed swimming team has been practicing daily in the Far Rock-away High School pool. A team composed of Cunningham, Wood, Zimmerman, Wes-tervelt, Nowak, Miller, and Stanton, met Southside, Freeport, Long Beach, and Baldwin unsuccessfully, but took Lynbrook 41-22. In a meet held at the Sun and Surf Club, in the class A events, Cunningham came in third in the fifty-yard back-stroke, Zimmerman second in the fifty-yard, Wood third in the one hundred yard freestyle, and G. Miller second in the diving competition. In the class B events, Westervelt crossed first in the fifty-yard freestyle, Miller second in the one hundred yard freestyle, Cunningham second in the diving event, and the Lawrence team coached by Richard Sierer, took first place in the two hundred yard relay. Page fifty-two ADVERTISEMENTS T HE publication of this annual has only been made possible through the generous cooperation of its advertisers. Their kindness and consideration is clearly shown in the following pages.
