Published by the students of LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Lawrence, N. Y. Foreword HAS BEEN our endeavor to enclose - within the covers of this book the spirit of happy hours spent within the walls of our dear Alma Mater. If in the future these pages bring forth fond recollections to the reader, we shall feel that our efforts have been well rewarded. Theme |OST APPROPRIATE for an educa- tional institution is an educational theme. In presenting this book, the staff has exemplified the seven cardinal principles of education. These are basic fundamentals, and without a knowledge of them, success in any venture is doubtful; therefore, on the pages following this introduction, we have attempted to present a brief summary of the factors entering into each of these principles. To more fully explain it, a photograph of a representative field of learning accompanies each summary. Since space is limited, we have been able to feature but one picture of each educational principle, while in reality most of the principles are composed of many varied subjects. Contents HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION GRADUATES CLASSES FEATURES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS Lawrence High School Dedication On November fifth and sixth, in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-six, occurred a history-making event in the annals of Lawrence High School— the new building was formally dedicated, and that rite celebrated by speeches by Mr. Lawrence V. Dodd, our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Cecil C. MacDonald, our Principal, and nine of our most representative students. To exemplify the spirit of education, a fantasy was enacted by several of the students, under the direction of Miss Grace W. Ellsworth. In his welcoming address, Mr. MacDonald made us more appreciative of our beautiful structure, by describing the conditions of educational facilities when he was a high school student. He recalled, also, the dedication, twenty-three years ago, of the old Lawrence High School building on Central Avenue, and further explained that, though the teaching staff, at that time, was considered one of the best, it was pitifully out-of-date in comparison with the well-chosen faculty and equipment now at our disposal. Following this, a piano selection was rendered by Barbara Williams, our talented Lawrenciennc. Nine other students then expressed the sincere appreciation of the entire student body to the parents and others who had made possible our glorious new Alma Mater. These appreciation speeches were followed by the fantasy, Beyond the Horizon,” which explained both the theme and purpose of our school and of modern educational ideals. During this performance the orchestra appearing in public for the first time played incidental music. Mr. Dodd voiced a closing address which contained a definite moral. His lesson was that a beautiful school building, modern, efficient equipment, and as complete and capable a faculty as ours, arc not the only requirements for fulfilling educational aims— but that wholehearted co-operation on the part of the student body, in manners and conduct as well as scholastic effort, is an essential without which the finest of buildings, the most modern equipment, and the most superior teaching staff would be absolutely useless. MR. LESLIE A. OUTTERSON Dedication J JO Mr. Leslie A. Out-terson, who with the consideration and understanding of one of our comrades, has assisted us in the publication of this yearbook, and aided us in our difficulties, we, the staff of the Lawrencian, dedicate this annual. R. LESLIE L. BEACH is one of the most prominent men in educational work in our school district, and has capably filled the office of President of the Board of Education for twenty years. He has always advocated and worked for the most progressive methods of education for all the pupils of the district. The outstanding factor in Mr. Beach’s service has been his ability to interpret the needs of all the varied departments in the school system and then his striving to meet these needs. The new high school building with its manifold facilities for meeting the requirements of modern education exemplifies his aptitude in these respects. We feel that we owe much to Mr. Beach for his untiring and wholehearted efforts to make ours a school system second to none. We shall miss his genial presence as we met him on his inspections of the building, and we trust, though he is retiring from the Board of Education, that Mr. Beach will continue his interest in our progress.

Times, however, have changed. The relationship between pupil and teacher is now a sympathetic, friendly one in which both teacher and pupil benefit. Experiments have shown that this friendly relationship between faculty and students is a far superior method of achieving educational perfection. Aided by the pleasant, work-inducing surroundings of our new building, the Lawrence High School administration has succeeded in adapting the students to this changing attitude. MR. DODD Mr. Dodd first came to us as a science teacher some years ago. He soon became popular with his students, always interesting himself in their welfare. We arc proud to have him as our superintendent now. mr. Macdonald Mr. MacDonald has endeared himself to the students of Lawrence during his many years here as principal. He has always been a sympathetic counselor and true friend of every student. In addition to his activities as principal, Mr. MacDonald is the head of the Language Department. MISS TEFFT Miss Elsie R. Tefft, who has served on our Lawrence High School faculty for many years, has become an indispensable member of the school administration. She was chosen for Junior and Senior class faculty adviser almost continuously for twenty years. Now, in the capacity of Assistant Principal, she can more easily employ her capability for solving the problems of students and teachers. I 17 1 LAWRENC I AN Lawrence High School Faculty 0© Our faculty is indeed one of which we can be justly proud. Its members are representative graduates of well-known colleges from all over the United States. As our school building is outstanding among school buildings, so our faculty is outstanding among faculties. The addition to the school curriculum of various new courses made necessary the enlargement of our teaching staff, and our new pedagogues quickly associated themselves with school activities, some of them being chosen faculty advisers of various clubs, others becoming active in the supervision of Lawrence High School athletics.

E., Posse LAWRENCI AN [ 19 ] The Guidance Department The Guidance Department, under the direction of Mr. Lyman W. Davison, prepares a schedule for every one of the twelve hundred and fifty students enrolled in Lawrence High School. This is done after a consideration of a student’s abilities (as shown by his scholastic record of the previous term) and his desires. Moreover, those in charge of this branch of our school administration keep tabs” on all students, particularly those who have shown continually poor work and little or no effort. They make it their duty to consult with such students (in some cases suggesting that the subject or subjects be dropped) as well as to advise and assist those who fail in spite of all attempts to do good work. On the other hand, in cases in which a student is doing good work in all his subjects, and seems capable of carrying another, the Guidance Department suggests the adding of an extra subject. To prospective graduates, this department offers advice and information as to the requirements, specialties, and merits of various colleges. In the Guidance Room, readily available to all students, are displayed the catalogues of many of the colleges in the United States. Those graduates who propose to enter a college are invited to come to the Guidance Department for friendly, but serious, discussion as to the best courses to follow in order to attain success in a particular career. The department aims to promote a thorough understanding and friendship among the faculty, the parents, and the students, because such conditions tend to promote more efficient work on the part of both teachers and students, thus fulfilling the basic aims of our educational system. [20] Graduates Command of the ofundamental processes FEW high school students are conversant with classical literature, and not many more have mastered grammatical intricacies. One of the objectives of education in general, and in English in particular, is the ability to express oneself. Modern English classes are so organized as to give the students the opportunity of becoming proficient in these subjects. By means of sympathetic interpretations the pupils are taught to appreciate the literary offerings of such men as Shakespeare, Coleridge, Scott, Milton, and some of the modern authors, dramatists, and poets. After becoming familiar with the styles of these men, students can more readily achieve their objective, better self-expression. Commencement Speakers VALEDICTORIAN—Robert Percy Robert Percy, better known to his friends as Bob,” has been one of our most conscientious students during his high school career, and his reward is the distinction of being Valedictorian with an average of 96.42%. Bob” came to us from Public School No. 4. He has been a member of the Honor Society since his sophomore year, freshmen being ineligible. He was one of three who tied for top place in the Honor Society competition of 1936, each of whom received a cup. The same year he was one of the delegates to the Mathematics Contest sponsored by the Pi Mu Epsilon Society held at New York University. The following year he became a member of the Bob,” who is much interested in science, has held the positions of laboratory assistant and laboratory manager, and has belonged to the Science Club. His aptitude for mathematics and science led him into his decision to study chemical engineering. He has applied to Rensselaer, although the fall may find him at Cornell or Harvard. Bob” loves to hunt and fish, but he confesses that he fishes better than he shoots. He spends much of his leisure time in experimenting in science and reading history. SALUTATORIAN—Doris Goldstein Success, respect, and honor are the just deserts of perseverance; therefore, Doris Goldstein is entirely worthy of the honor and distinction of being class Salutatorian. Doris is second in the list of Senior ratings with a regents’ average of 94.32%. Graduating from Public School No. 5, in June 1933, Doris entered Lawrence High School in September of that year. Extremely interested in history, she has made it one of her major subjects. Doris has been active in sports, having taken part in Junior Varsity Basketball. She was a member of the tennis team in 1935, and became manager of that team in the following year. In addition, Doris participated in two gym exhibitions. She was a member of the Riding Club, the Secretary of the Freshman Club, and as a member of the Lawrencian Board she worked diligently to help make the latter a success. Her hobbies are sports, the theater, and art. Doris intends to further her education after high school, and hopes, upon graduation from college, to embark upon a journalistic career. Mathematics Club. Isabel Helfat Isabel Helfat, coming to us from Public School No. 3 in 1933, has gained recognition among the students as one of the most intellectual girls in high school. She had been in the Honor Society ever since her sophomore year, and received a cup in the three-way tie in the Honor Society competition of 1936. Her interests in high school have been many and varied. She belonged to the Buskins Club, and took part in its 1936 tournament. Horseback riding being one of her favorite diversions, she joined the Riding Club. She also took an active part in several gymnastic exhibitions. Moving pictures commanding her attention, she became a member of the Cinema Club, later becoming its president. In the fall of last year she took part in the Dedication of Lawrence High School. Isabel expects to enter college in the fall to prepare herself for a career in commercial advertising. Since she has been a Mental Pabulum reporter, a member of the Lawrencian Board, and a member of the Journalism Club, it would seem that her interests lie in that direction. Isabel’s hobbies are art and the theater; in the latter she prefers the plays starring Katharine Cornell. LAWRENCIAN = I rj 1 ROM BAIHR FLORENCE BENNETT fatwJ At.

Other important requirements for success in the business or industrial world are a knowledge and use of economy, and a preparedness for a vocational position. The United States government has endeavored to provide a source of learning for both, in the form of the National Youth Administration. A branch of this organization is in operation in Lawrence High School. The students are taught to obey orders (a quality known to be necessary in order to give orders successfully). Checking in the gymnasium, serving as cashiers in the cafeteria, and typing for the Mental Pabulum are a few of the fields in which these students render service. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Senior Class Club The Senior Class Club, formed early in the school year, can boast of an exceptionally large membership taken from the Senior Class. Miss Griffith was chosen faculty adviser and has been of great help to this club in all its problems. A Ring and Pin committee was chosen early in the year, and selected rings to be voted upon by the class. The annual magazine subscription campaign was very successful and added materially to the treasury funds. After much thought and discussion, Pride and Prejudice” was chosen for the Senior play to be produced March 20 under the capable direction of Miss Grace Ellsworth. Aside from these regular Senior activities, the club sponsored a cake and candy sale which was quite successful. The Seniors will close their season with the annual Senior Prom. This group will have the honor and distinction of being the first to graduate from this splendid new school of ours. LAWRENCI AN [ •� « 1 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Junior Class Club Among the many clubs of Lawrence High School there is the well-known Junior Club. Under Mr. Simmonds’ competent supervision the club has flourished, engaging in many activities. One of the activities was the Jumble Word Contest”; an idea set forth by one of the interested members, as a novel idea for raising funds. [4? ] LAWRENC IAN V THE 1937 [ 46 j SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Sophomore Class Club During the past year the Sophomore Class has been more active than ever before. It was this group that introduced the popular Lawrence High School” pencils to the school. When the nation was shocked by the terrific floods in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, the class responded to the appeal of the Red Cross and contributed generously to aid flood relief. Winter sleigh rides were planned, but the plans were never carried through because of the lack of snow this winter. However, the class did have some picnics this spring as a part of their social program. These activities were financed by the sale of the pencils and cookies. However, the main object which has guided the class during the past year has been to do things that will benefit the members later on in their school careers. They have accomplished this object extremely well. 1 47 1 LAWRENCI AN Freshman Personalities Athletic: Frank Sarro: Standing six feet, Frank towers above his teammates. They lost only two out of eight basketball games through his untiring efforts. They never offer any opposition,” he says. Robert Bacon: Full of brain and brawn, a dependable man in any fix. He’s been sick recently and we haven’t seen him in action. A heavy hitter. Artistic: Betty Levy: An excellent designer of clothing, Betty usually excels in anything she undertakes. A nice girl, bustling with personality. Betty is also a brilliant girl. Donald Raynor: Don can draw the best figures—you think they’re traced but we know differently. Donald’s maps are to be envied; they’re perfect. An excellent chap. Awards: Eugene Rode: The small boy who took the Parent-Teachers award for the highest average. Good luck, Eugene. If you keep it up you’ll be a valedictorian. Jacqueline Levy: The brilliant girl who received the American Legion award in history. Let’s hope you do it again in future life. Sophomore Personalities In Dicky Mcrnit we have the Don Juan of the art classes. Not to say the least about Sybil Kotkin, our president and a very versatile girl. James Reid, predicted to be a future Academy Award winner, is tops” as far as acting goes. One most assuredly must mention Marion Drahos who is our proud contribution to girls’ basketball. Then there is Rosalie Berkman whose favorite saying is, It’s for the 'Pabulum’!” Byron Van Raalte, our vice president and a swell” guy, is an important member of the Sophomore Class. David Coons, always engaged in his usual occupation, picking mental daisies, is in the same class as Robert Glucksman, our child prodigy.” In Lee” Armbruster’s basketball there is all-scholastic material. Lenny” Brum is Lawrence’s chess champion. Sylvan Olivieri can do almost anything with a saxophone. Anabel Joseph is one of our prize high mark getters, while Monroe Cycleman remains a potential Rachmaninoff. And there’s Henry Sternberg, looking at life with a German accent. Junior Personalities This year’s Junior Class gives great promise of being one of Lawrence High School’s outstanding student groups. It has representatives in every branch of student activity, including sports, dramatics, clubs, and all other extra-curricular work. Outstanding in the line of sports is John Mollo, veteran of football, basketball, and wrestling; Don Shorty” Seligman and Sal Raia, the fastest runner in Lawrence, are two other excellent athletes. Other Junior athletic personalities include Myron Breakstone, star on the baseball team; Amy Monroe, Julia Adduci, and Irene Dummeyer, all basketball stars; Al Bedell, ace captain of the Ping-Pong team. In other organizations the Juniors boast of many members; foremost among them are Bob Klein, president of the Chess Team; Margaret Wood and May Colmar, editor and co-editor of Mental Pabulum, respectively; Betty Schwartz, vice president of the Social Form; Henry Toplitz, president of the Biology Club; and Sue Van Pragg and Bill Kohn, Co-Junior editors of the Lawrencian. Incidentally, Sue is considered one of the best dressed girls in Lawrence. Other Junior personalities seen around school are: Larry Klein, the dapper dresser who never fails to wear a tie; Ruth Mott, the red-haired song-bird, who is an excellent vocalist and an active member of the Social Form; Dick Miller, the happy-go-lucky young man with his pal, Mickey Newman, the shortest member of the class; Dominic Pollera, whose swing band has been the center of many social events, including the school’s tea dances. This by no means exhausts the list of students who have been outstanding in 1936—37. It remains to be seen what next year has in store for them. 1 5° 1 % Worthy Kome Membership CONTRARY to the idea that the homemaking department of our school is merely a cooking class, the work of the department and the aim and purpose of instruction in homemaking encircle a great variety of subjects, such as family relationships, home finance, home nursing, and home decoration. Many women who keep house are incapable of one or more of their various duties. The girls who take the homemaking course offered in our school curriculum learn to be proficient in cooking, sewing, and the other household duties. The beautifully furnished model apartment, with which the school is equipped, is a valuable addition in that instead of merely telling the pupils how to make such an apartment homey and comfortable, the instructor in charge can give actual demonstrations. Some people may be surprised to learn that now-a-days boys, as well as girls, attend cooking classes. Senior Class Poem FAREWELL TO LAWRENCE Now, as we stand on the threshold. And cast a last lingering glance. Our levity seems to desert us— We pause in our heedless advance. We’ve jested and joked at our schooling. And spared neither teachers nor friends, But now that the end is approaching Faint sadness with merriment blends. Four years thou hast sheltered our bodies; Four years thou hast strengthened our minds Unawares thou hast silently welded The chain that our faithfulness binds. Dear School, as we pass we salute thee. As thousands have done in the past. Dear thousands that follow, we’ll greet ye, For the spirit of Lawrence will last! Lenore Passman ’37 1933-1937 Senior ------- Class ---- History i Four unbelievably short years ago we sophisticated Seniors were mere Freshmen. (Fancy that!!!) Realizing (timid little souls that we were) the truth in the adage United we stand, divided we fall” we quickly organized the Freshman Club. Getting down to business, we chose capable leaders. The victors in our election of officers were: George Finkelstein, president; Morton Baumohl, vice president; Doris Goldstein, secretary; and Harold Fritts, treasurer. With Mrs. Lee as our faculty adviser we were assured of a prosperous season. This materialized, when, after producing Great Caesar,” a comedy, which was financially as well as dramatically a success, we betook ourselves to New York City to pass judgment” on Roberta,” a musical show. II In the second leg of our adventurous journey through our beloved Alma Mater, as Sophomores, we established a precedent by drawing up a constitution. After Morton Baumohl resigned from the presidency, Peter Digilio was elected to that office. Muriel Gross became vice president, and June Hyams, secretary, while George Finkelstein was entrusted with the club’s finances. Mr. Leslie A. Outterson proved a capable faculty adviser. Besides various other money-making ventures, we sponsored a checker tournament. At the close of the season, we spent an extremely enjoyable day (as well as our money) in New York City, where we attended a performance of Awake and Sing,” one of the current Broadway shows. Ill In the following year we Juniors elected Mildred Schwartz president (who said therc’d never be a woman president!); Lenore Passman, vice president; Arlinc Green-baum, secretary; and Murray Meisner, treasurer. Mr. Ernest Hirsch was chosen for an adviser. We sold Lawrence” stickers, and presented an entertainment in which Miss Lucille Hirsh, a monologist, gave examples of American humor. After cogitating on the problem of disposing of our accumulated capital, we decided on Idiot’s Delight,” the Pulitzer prize play of 1956. IV In the Senior officers’ election of 1937, industrious Peter Digilio was the victor in the presidential race, Rose Bader won the vice presidency; Ruth Goldshinc, the secretaryship; and Alfonzo Lanzillotta became treasurer. When it came to the choice of an adviser. Miss Dorothy Griffith walked away with that honor. Now, as sedate Seniors, we were faced with various tasks, the most important of which was to make ourselves worthy of the privilege of being the first class to graduate from the new high school building. Soon we turned our thoughts to the Senior play. Miss Ellsworth, our dramatic director, spent much time and trouble to find a suitable drama for us; and with her usual kindness and patience helped us to produce Pride and Prejudice” successfully. [54] THE 1937 LIBRARY STUDY AFTER THE BALL Ejlt ay r r Y AFTER BE FORE THE WATCHFUL EYE HARO AT WORK C?) ONE HO H FOR LUNCH ABSORB!Fit KNOWLEDGE ( ) WHEN DAY IS 0 ONE LAWRENCIAN — [ 5 y ] Senior Play The dramatic presentation of the Senior Class of 1937 was unanimously acclaimed the most pretentious and polished of any production ever staged in Lawrence High School. Under the expert direction of Miss Grace Ellsworth a group of talented Seniors gave Helen Jerome’s dramatization of the comedy drama Pride and Prejudice,” which scored so tremendously and achieved so long a run on Broadway. The play, which takes place in England about 1820, is concerned with the class snobbery and delicate romance of that period. It clearly portrays the manners of the day which dictated that a woman had but one career, marriage. The satirical comedy and the beauty of the costumes and sets provided entertainment of fine quality for the capacity audience of more than seven hundred and fifty persons.

We sit us down to write a will, Which here below is found. To Mr. Mellace and his far famed band, We leave a soundproof room to protect our land. To Mr. Simmonds, who in geometry is tops, We leave time off to tend his petunia crops. To the students of future classes We leave a two-hour working day And the hope that everyone passes! To the Seniors of tomorrow in Lawrence High, We leave boys who, of acting, are not shy. To Miss Benson, that girl from Paris, We leave a detective agency, the students to harass. To Miss Tefft, who has too many troubles to mention, We leave an adding machine, to count up detention. To Miss Griffith, a trip to England, we bestow As compensation for having caused her so much woe. To Mr. MacDonald, in whom we all confide, We leave a contract with N.B.C. to broadcast far and wide. To the football team with uniforms so dandy, We leave some cellophane—it might come in handy. To Miss Leavitt, who of Caesar must be weary, We leave some new Gallic campaigns, to make life less dreary. To Mr. Outterson, who from his classes to the Lawrencian and vice versa did tear, We leave a twin, his work to share. To the rest of the faculty, we leave good cheer, And the hope that they won’t be neglected next year. We have done our very best we feel, In witness whereof we affix our seal.

Adclc Greenberg cWise Rise of leisure Retime THE quiet, comfortable surroundings and appointments of our beautiful library and reading room invite students to spend their leisure study periods buried in one of the many interesting volumes which are to be found on the book-shelves, or perhaps the student must do some reference work in an encyclopedia, dictionary, or biography. If so, he will find all of these books at his disposal. At any rate, delving into the literature of past and present writers will enable a reader to cultivate a taste for reading. Since reading is one of the most relaxing, yet one of the most useful of pastimes, a liking for good literature is indeed profitable. Honor Society J President A. Lanzillotta Vice President Ellen Braun Secretary Ellen Star T reasurer Ann Hecht Faculty Adviser Mr. MacDonald The Honor Society was instituted in Lawrence for the purpose of promoting scholarship competition and school service. Its membership is limited to Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores who maintain exceptionally good marks for at least three consecutive months. The admission of new members is under the care of the Honor Society Committee, which is composed this year of Mr. Davison, Eileen Walsh, and Alfonzo Lanzillotta. Cups are given to the two highest rating members at the end of the year. Mental Pabulum Editor-in-Chief Margaret Wood Assoc. Editor May Colmar Sports Editor Peter Digilio Staff Photographers Ralph Berkowitz Howard Levene Adv. Manager Louise Lewinson Faculty Adviser Mrs. Denton In the past year Mental Pabulum has experienced many outstanding changes. From a small undernourished paper kept alive by Mrs. Denton it has developed into a smiling and good-looking sheet issued twenty times a year. It was five years old last Thanksgiving, and judging from its present state, it will live to see a great many more birthdays. At the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference held during March of this year. Mental Pabulum placed third in its class. Owing to the comparative infancy of this student organization, the result is even better than was expected. [«i I LAWRENCIAN Science Club President Joseph Eisele Vice President Robert Percy Secretary William Franks T reasurer Bernard Sachs Vacuity Advisers Miss Strauch Mr. Ahnf.r This year, our future Einsteins attempted a new type of organization. Instead of the conventional unified class, the members of the club were 'sorted into groups representing the various branches of modern science, and held meetings of their own. Both Mr. Ahner and Miss Strauch were chosen for faculty advisers, and during the season the group, accompanied by Miss Strauch, visited the New York Museum of Science and Industry at Radio City. One afternoon after school, a very interesting Liquid Air demonstration, sponsored by the Science Club, was presented in the auditorium. The Lawrence High School Chess Club has successfully begun its sixth year. Its membership, the largest yet recorded, includes a large number of girls and one teacher, Miss Wood, who joined the club as a regular member. The team’s record continued to be exceptionally outstanding. For five consecutive terms, Lawrence has held the championship of Nassau and Queens, and because of the many outstanding freshman and sophomore players, hopes to retain this honor for a long time. Chess Club President Robert Klein Vice President Leonard Brum Secretary Aaron Kommel T reasurer Joseph Bressman Vacuity Adviser Mr. Schwab I 66) THE 1937 Short- Wave Radio Club President Wesley Sheffield T reasurer Russel Newberry Secretary Peter Digilio Faculty Adviser Mr. Kriz This year saw the institution of a new group in Lawrence High School. Several of the boys, who had had experience in building short-wave radio sets, organized the Short-Wave Radio Club. Early in the season the newcomers into the field of Radio were taught the elementary principles. Several of the members have already built short-wave receivers, and preparations are under way to construct a larger instrument to be owned by the members of the club as a whole. Perhaps it might be interesting to keep an eye on these future radio enthusiasts of our school. Social Form President Dorothy Monahan Vice President Betty Schwartz T reasurer Richard Mernit Secretary Sybil Kotkin Faculty Adviser Miss W. Sloane The Social Form, a newly formed group, manages all social activities of the school, and aims to improve student courtesy, etiquette, and social behavior. The group is very beneficial to the student body, for it is a student activity made up of the students, and working for the students. It is not a club for student choice, but a part of the actual school curriculum which necessitates definite representation from each room. There is a possibility of its becoming a formal class for all students as the need grows. LAWRENCI AN The Buskins, one of the oldest organizations in our school, is a dramatic society worthy of its fine reputation. They have again had a very successful season under the able guidance of Miss Grace Ellsworth. This year the Buskins have had the added incentive of the new school with its professional stage and equipment. The annual tournament, held on January 27, 1937, comprised of Box and Cox, ’ The Sweetmeat Game, and the famous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet” spoke well for this club which has a standard hard to live up to. Following their yearly custom, the Buskins are planning to see one of the Broadway productions of the current season. Thus we see the Buskins of 1936-37 pass into the annals of Lawrence High School. Buskins Club President LeRoy Millard Vice President Edward Joffe Secretary Ira Hirsh T reasurer George Finkf.lstein Lib. Historian James Reid Faculty Adviser Miss G. Ellsworth The Glee Club, composed of seventy girls, met every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 3:15 to 4:00 o’clock. No dues were collected, but signet pins were bought by all the girls. Each member who was not a senior was credited with one quarter of a unit per term for regular attendance. The Gypsy Pageant” given by the club during an assembly program was very successful. It was composed of Victor Herbert’s most popular selections. Glee Club President Marcella Wolken Secretary Valma Engle hard Bookkeeper Amelia M. Lent Faculty Adviser Miss L. Shaeffer [68 ] THE 1937 Art Service League President Edith Kerpner Secretary Stanley Warner Faculty Adviser Miss Holmquist The Art Service League was established for the first time this year. Whenever posters are needed to advertise any important school event, this organization is called upon to supply them. The members are engaged in many types of art. Already they have made metal plaques, modeled in clay, and painted in various mediums. At Christmas time the League made beautiful hand-painted Christmas cards. They are now planning to make a series of murals on several worth-while subjects. In the near future an exhibition will be held to display the artistic achievements of the League. This year the Math Club, which, by the way. Miss Wood tells us is really named The Euclidcans,” has divided itself into two teams, the X team and Y team. These teams are contesting against each other to choose people to go to the Phi Mu Epsilon contest at N.Y.U., in which the Math Club participates every year. Math Club President Martin Marks Vice President Leroy Senftenberg Secretary Robert Klein Faculty Adviser Miss Wood 1 ‘9 1 LAWRENCI AN Band In 1935, under the able supervision of Mr. Mcllace, the Band was organized. The support and encouragement which it has since given to our athletes at football games arc favorably remembered. Its performance at student athletic rallies in the Auditorium has done much to stimulate school spirit. Breathes there the student with soul so dead” that he has not felt a tremor of excitement and pride, and a surge of loyalty and strong feeling towards his school, when he walked down the aisle of the Auditorium to the vibrant and colorful strains of the El Toreador,” which the Band so expertly converted into a Lawrence Victory Song. It has accomplished much and will go further. Yes, it will be hard to beat the Band. The Orchestra, organized by Mr. Mellace in the old Lawrence High School building, early in 1936, is improving day by day. Although the first time it appeared in public at an assembly program the Orchestra was a bit squeaky and the members were nervous, daily practice has made them more proficient in the art of music-making. As a matter of fact, this practice, which is held in the Auditorium at noon time, draws a daily crowd of entertainment-seeking students. Orchestra 17� 1 THE 1937 General Biology Club President Henry Toplitz Vice President Ruth Sokolow Secretary-T reasurer Sonya Goldman faculty Adviser Mr. Berle One of the youngest clubs in school is the newly formed General Biology Club. The organization of this group, under the excellent supervision of our new Biology teacher, Mr. Berle, was urged by the interests of those students who wish to enlarge upon their biological knowledge. The club was formed for the purpose of providing educational entertainment for its members. Its chief aim is to increase the experimental ability and scientific knowledge of those interested in Science. Having only seven active members, the Aviation Club is anxious for a larger membership. The club investigates matters of aeronautical interest. The members have already attended the Aviation Show at Grand Central Palace and are, at present, planning to go to Floyd Bennett Field and Jamaica Airport. All of Lawrence’s up and coming pilots belong to the Aviation Club, and they undoubtedly derive from it not only pleasure, but also a world of knowledge as well. Aviation Club President John Franks Vice President Anthony Palmese Secretary Julius Lipthay Treasurer Julius Lipthay Faculty Adviser Mr. Caton 1 71 1 LAWRENCi AN Games Club President Secretary T reasurer Faculty Ad riser Dorothy Monahan Marcella Wolken Mildred Marvin Miss Cruickshank The purpose of this new group is to educate students with the factors contributing to the success of social affairs, thereby aiding them in becoming proficient entertainers. Because of the interesting programs arranged for the meetings, the club, composed of Miss Cruickshank’s Vocational classes, is a great success. The large attendance at these meetings enabled separate groups of girls to engage in various social games, particularly bridge, which is the favorite. At each meeting, a few of the girls served as hostesses, and refreshments were served. The club held its meetings in the model apartment in the homemaking section of the school building, thus effecting the atmosphere of a home gathering. The members of the Games Club elected the above mentioned officers. Sewing Club President Vice President Secretary T reasurer Faculty Adviser Desiree Bucchioni Jean Searles Rhoda Abrams Pauline Bronstcin Mrs. DcMott The Sewing Club, under the able supervision of Mrs. DeMott, Faculty adviser, really goes under the name of the Stitch and Chatter Club.” The girls meet every Wednesday, and have specialized in crocheting, knitting, and hand sewing thus far. The club is now in the process of being reorganized and is open to new members. A party is being planned which will take place at the end of the present term. Freshman Class Club President Vice President Secretary T reasurer Faculty Adviser Herbert Gallant Martin Sokolow Jacqueline Levy Hortense Sonin Mr. William E. Caton Because of the fact that it took our Freshies” some time to adapt themselves to high school, they had no opportunity, in the early part of the year, to organize their class group. After their difficulties had been overcome, however, they formed the Freshman Class Club, and began a vigorous membership campaign. They have the distinction of being the first Freshman Class in the new building. [72 ] THE 1937 Business Arithmetic Team When Ernest L. Hirsch became a member of our faculty last year, after having coached other High School Arithmetic Teams to victory, he organized a Business Arithmetic Team, composed of Lorraine Fox, Captain, Dominick Pollera, and Dorothy Killoran. This team won first place at a Long Island district contest, and qualified for the State Business Arithmetic Competition at Syracuse; there it won the state championship. This year, several students have tried out for the team, which shows promise as to upholding its honor, and Lawrence High School is preparing to send representatives to the district contest, and hopes to defend its title. Laboratory Manager Chemistry and Physics Laboratory Chemistry and Physics Laboratory General Science Laboratory Assistants Robert Percy Leo Kahn Joseph Eisclc Martin Dinerstein Our Laboratory Assistants are boys who are intensely interested in science, and have offered to devote their spare time during school hours to helping the teachers in the Science Department. They prepare equipment and apparatus for class demonstrations and help to distribute chemicals and other materials to students who are carrying on experimental work. Without the help of these assistants, the teaching staff of the Science Department would have been faced with serious difficulty. These students deserve much credit for their splendid work. Dance Orchestra Since Lawrence High School possesses a Military Band and an Orchestra, it is only fitting and proper that we have a Dance Orchestra. With this in mind, a dance orchestra was organized under the leadership of Tony Pellegrino. Mr. Franklin Whitman was chosen faculty adviser. [73 I LAWRENC IAN Varsity Club Presidents Jerry Cohn Nick Drahos Vice President Adi i.E On ns Treasurer Lucile Brahms Secretary Eddie McDonnell The membership of the Varsity Club is made up of the athletes of Lawrence High School, those students who have earned either one varsity or two minor sports letters. Guided by the experienced hand of Mr. Forrester W. Fierce, assisted by Miss Sloan, the club has been responsible for the supervision of both our football and basketball activities. For the first time in its history, the club is functioning under a co-presidency. Athletics Physical Education A STATE law has made physical education a compulsory course. Our gymnasium and health offices have made possible the carrying out of this law. By means of indoor athletic activities and calisthenics, the students of the gym classes have been taught the fundamentals of health. Lawrence High has inaugurated a new system of gym classification. Students are required to take various physical tests, the results of which are recorded. These results are compiled into a strength index. The pupils are graded by their strength index, and are placed in classes A, B, C, or D, according to these grades. Coaches Lawrence is indeed blessed with an excellent coaching staff. These men and women of outstanding ability have consistently proved their full worth to the student body, and have gained for themselves a position of admiration and respect in the heart of every student. Certainly, if our athletic teams have enjoyed any success, much of the credit is due these conscientious and energetic directors behind the lines.” Lawrence may well be proud of these, our athletic coaches. Cheer- leaders These exponents extraordinary of the Rah-Rah-Rah” through hard work contribute much to the success of our athletic teams. They add the necessary pep, color, and beauty to our sports contests and triumphantly lead our school-spirited adherents of football and basketball through their paces. The fifteen cheerleaders, under the guidance of Miss Sloan, are divided into two groups captained by Florence Bennett and Howard Hosmer. LAWRENC IAN [77 1 THE 1937 Football Team Football Lawrence may proudly say that during this past season it has produced one of the finest football teams on Long Island. The high school eleven went through one of the toughest schedules of any scholastic team and emerged with a record worthy of envy. On September 25 the stadium was officially opened by that celebrated alumnus, Ray Barbuti, football star and Olympic track champion, who kicked off the first ball. During the hour of play that followed the Buff and Blue showed the 3000 or more spectators that they had a top notch football team. Long Beach was their rival at this time, and the seashore eleven was turned back by a score of 7—0. Lawrence continued through a glorious season with the same power and skill it displayed in the opening game. The team went on to defeat Great Neck, Glen Cove, and Central, and to tie Westbury and Rivcrhcad. The Woodmere contest, which resulted in a scoreless tic, was the first waged between the neighboring schools and was undoubtedly the most thrilling game of the season. Lawrence then conquered its three remaining opponents: Lynbrook, Hicksville, and Far Rockaway. The only setback of the season was at the hands of Baldwin, who won by the slimmest of margins, 7—6. This was a spectacular game which remained undecided until the final whistle was blown. With the close of the season came the announcement of the Nassau All-Scholastic football team. Much to the delight of Lawrence students, Nick Drahos and Jerry Cohn, tackles, and Jack Feeny, fullback, were chosen for the first team. Pug” Tavalaro and Gerald Politano were selected as alternates. Pug” and Nick also gained positions on the All-Long Island eleven. At the same time, at a meeting of coaches, officials, and sports writers, Baldwin was chosen to receive the Robert Low Bacon cup for having the best football team in the county. Lawrence was runner-up for this coveted award by a 10-2 vote of the committee. Much praise is due the school band, directed by Mr. Mcllacc, which added so much color to all of our games. The band inspired all with its stirring music and impressive marching displays. Our new stadium, with its fine turf and large seating capacity, must have been another incentive for victory. Mr. Nicholas Farina, in his first year as head coach of football, as well as the other coaches, Messrs. Andrews, Nathanson, and Nielsen, and the Faculty Manager, Mr. Outterson, deserve a vote of appreciation for the conscientiousness with which they worked to develop the team into a winning combination. The entire squad should likewise be congratulated for their consistent attendance at practices and willing cooperation with their coaches. Mr. Farina proudly boasts that not a single man cut practice during the entire season.” On December 17 the Board of Education tendered a banquet to the football squad in recognition of their splendid performances. The guest of honor of the evening was Coach Carl Snavely of Cornell University who coached Mr. Farina when he played at Bucknell. Mr. Dodd, master of ceremonies on this festive occasion, presented to each of the players an engraved miniature football. Both varsity letters and gold footballs were awarded to Sal” Raia, R.ed” Kleinlein, Ernie” Smith, Red” Walsh, Jim” Troupe, Bob” Donovan, Leon Ettlingcr, Pug” Tavalaro, Jerry Cohn, Nick” Drahos, Ted” Zimmerman, Joe” Fagan, Frank Mott, John Mollo, Bill” Vogel, Gerald Politano, John DeCay, Eddie” McDonnell, Joe” Baal, Jim” Cunningham, Jack Feeney, and Oscar Calabria, the team’s manager. LAWRENCIAN = (791 Junior Varsity Football Boys’ Basketball A successful season was enjoyed by our second team, which provided those boys who could not quite make the grade for the varsity eleven with ample opportunity to compete with neighboring teams in their own class. This particular branch of our athletic department won six of its seven scheduled games, losing only to Baldwin by one touchdown. When the team is reorganized next season, according to Mr. Nielsen, who coaches the younger lads, it will function independently of the varsity squad, having its own separate squad, coaches, and schedule. An optimistic and efficient basketball squad entered upon this season in the hope that the first team to play in the new gym might leave a fine and lasting impression. The team did exactly that. As a result of two very close games, the conclusion of the season found Lawrence tied with South Side for second place in the Class A Division of the South Shore League. This year the team was composed almost entirely of veterans, among whom were Cohn, Zimmerman, Drahos, McDonnell, and Mollo. New men on the squad were Medvedeff, Armbruster, Tavalaro, and Senftenbcrg. THE 1937 Boys’ Baseball Under the guiding hand of Coach Zimmy” Nathanson, the baseball team anticipates a highly successful season. Among the veterans who will be seen on the diamond this year are Baal, Cohn, Lucieri, Schoenholz, Breakstone, Ahlert, Raia, and Lewis. Leo Kahn, who was ill last season, will be on hand as well as the newcomers, Vad” Medvedeff, Nick Drahos, and Le Roy Senftenberg. Coach Nathanson says, We have championship material and there is no reason why we should not have a championship team.” Led by its able veteran and captain, Harold Fritts, the tennis team will endeavor to recapture the Nassau County championship which it lost last year. Morton Baumohl, a veteran of two seasons, will be a tremendous asset. Robert Klein, who is entering his second year on the team, is expected to be greatly improved as a result of last year’s experience. Although the remaining members of last season’s team will not return, with the addition of several new and capable players, the team feels certain that it will this year regain its supremacy. The squad is fortunate in having Mr. Hayes as its mentor. Boys’ Tennis 1 81 1 LAWRENC IAN The last time Lawrence sponsored a boxing team was the year of 1927 when, under the able guidance of Coach Pop” Pierce, the team, after finishing an undefeated season, went forth to win the Long Island Amateur Club Championship. This year, in the reorganization of this sport, Mr. Joseph Canamarc, a former star athlete of this school, was appointed boxing coach. With a group of sixty odd leather-pushers of all weights he has developed some exceptionally clever boxers. Possessed of a disposition for handling boys, Coach Canamare should go far in this field, and his work in our behalf is highly appreciated. For the first time in the history of the school, Lawrence placed a grunt and groan team on the wrestling mat. It met all the ranking wrestling teams of the section and, due to its extensive application of mental and physical energy, met with success that far exceeded its fondest expectations. The team was coached by Mr. Kermit Williams, who, being well acquainted with the many intricacies of this sport, and having the ability to communicate it to his pupils, was the main reason for the success of this new endeavor. Wrestling 1821 THE 1937 Boys’ Golf The nationally famous Lawrence High School golf team has, without doubt, one of the best and most enviable records ever compiled in scholastic competition. The team owes much of its success to the splendid co-operation it has received both from the Inwood Country Club and that famous golf pro, Jack Mackie, Sr. Aside from this, the golfers play the various courses on the island, and improve their scores through steady practice. This year the team will again enter the lntcrscholastic Golf Tournament to be held at Greenwich, Connecticut. Mr. Hirsch capably fills the position of coach. Blessed with a nucleus of three veterans headed by Albert Bedell, captain-elect, and assisted by Harold Fritts and Murray Meisner, the ping-pong team developed into a first-class team. The boys have long prided themselves on the splendid records which they have been able to maintain in spite of strenuous competition. This year, the team once again found itself at the top of the South Shore league, having lost only one match out of a long, arduous schedule. Boys’ Ping-Pong LAWRENCIAN — [ 1 Gym Leaders Among the many innovations recently established in our physical education department is the system of student gym leaders. The leaders, each of whom is at the head of one gym group, are assistants to the coaches. Miss Holly and Mr. Whitman. The girls are responsible for their group’s behavior, and it is their duty to take the attendance and help in the teaching of games. The boys, who have organized a club, hold regular meetings at which they decide upon the games to be played during gym periods and the disciplinary measures necessary to be taken. Both groups are responsible for the equipment and must sec to it that it is ready when needed. For the first time in its history, the girls’ field hockey team found itself playing on a regulation and superior surface in our new stadium. By dint of hard work, our new coach. Miss Margaret Holly, placed a highly co-ordinated machine on the field. Next season, despite the loss of a few veterans, Miss Holly feels that they will be capably replaced by a number of ’’comers” from the second team. The varsity members, though young and inexperienced, developed wonderfully toward the end of this past season. Next year’s prospects are indeed bright. Girls’ Hockey 1841 THE 1937 Girls’ Basketball The girls’ basketball team, confronted with the responsibility of retaining the league championship, held by us for the last two seasons, met unexpectedly difficult competition from South Side and finished second to this versatile sextet. Nevertheless, our girls covered themselves with glory throughout the season, winning all but two of their games, and accepted the loss of the championship graciously. Led by the high scoring Adelc Otens and Lucile Brahms, the girls are justly proud of their very excellent record. The coaching was handled by Mrs. Barber, assisted by the active Miss Holly; and the success of the team indicates how well they handled this group. Upon reviewing the records of our girls’ ping-pong team at the end of its second season, one might well feel that this organization will prove to be quite as successful as the boys’ team has been. Although Miriam Davidson was the only veteran to return at the beginning of this past season, Beatrice Gelb, manager and captain, and Miss Posner, faculty adviser, soon whipped the team into first class condition. Having won five of their seven matches, the girls may justly be proud of their efforts. As the majority of this year’s players will return next year, the outlook is very promising indeed. Girls’ Ping-Pong 18? 1 LAWRENCIAN The girls’ tennis team will step out with a large group of candidates looking for first-team ranking. Those finally selected will meet the extensive competition offered by our friendly rivals including Woodmcrc, Central, Baldwin, Malvernc, Oceanside, East Rockaway, Long Beach, and Lynbrook. Competition among girls’ teams thus carries out the school’s idea of good physical education and sports for all. The lower rated players will be retained for extensive tennis activity throughout the season. Girls’ Tennis At a recent meeting of the progressive high schools in Nassau County it was unanimously decided to sponsor girls’ golf competition with the hope that it would become as efficient and successful as the boys’ organizations have proved. With the kind services of Mr. Andrew Oakley, golf professional at the New Lawrence Municipal Golf Course, we look for a fast and complete development of this new project. Girls’ Golf 1 86 ] industrial Education INDUSTRIAL education is a study of the I changes man makes in materials to increase their values to meet his needs, and of the appropriate usage of the products made.
