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. Page nine

THE LAWRENCIAN Charles S. Wright Superintendent In October, 1923, Mr. Charles S. 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
