C foreword FROM that by-gone day when Henry Hudson first viewed Long Island, a thickly-wooded Indian hunting ground, until today when the structures of stone and steel are rapidly rising, giving form to an immense exposition, the New York World’s Fair of 1939, which will display the wonders of our age, countless events have taken place. These events—the history of Long Island— constitute the theme of this Lawrencian. “No profit grows where no pleasure is taken,” the immortal hard, Shakespeare, said of learning. Like a geometric axiom, this statement holds as true today as the day it was uttered, four centuries ago. Those who have striven industriously and whole-heartedly have made of their days spent within these halls of learning, a cherished volume of memory whose spirit we have attempted to incorporate in this book. It is those people who have written this Lawrencian, not a chosen few; what has happened here will be engraved in their hearts forever. It is hoped that the conquests and achievements which they have made and the experience and knowledge which they have gained will benefit them, so that, in the%words of Omar Khayyam, “they will spread wide their mantles, so that when the gods rain gold, they may gather theirs.” [ + ]

MONTAUK LIGHT i795 In 1795 this historic lighthouse was built on Mon-tauk Point to guide the ocean vessels around the treacherous rocks. Today the structure still stands guard, casting its beams over the dangerous waters. LAWRENCIAN 938 Lawrence, Long Island, New York Published By The Students of Lawrence High School
