MISS TEFET- We here at Lawrence High feel that no commencement or june Night exercise would be quite complete without the presence of Miss Elsie R. Tefft. Her charm and ever-inspiring personality lend an added touch to the many school functions with which she has become associated. And, of course, her influence is also felt in many other activi- ties, though she prefers to remain in the background of such aifairs. In her position as assistant principal she maintains a just discipline, which molds and strenghtens the character of the pupils. In addition, Miss Tefft is also the efficient head of our Social Studies Department. MR, DAVISONIF- Should I try the A-12 or the V-IZ? i'Why can't I take Spanish? But I want five subjects! These and many more constitute the problems brought before Mr. Lyman W. Davison, as he performs his work as Guidance Director. A fixture at Lawrence, Mr. Davison has made sure that thousands of students have been placed in their correct fields of study. He has directed the department since its inception several years ago. He also supervises our English Department. MRS. HORN- As Mr. Davison's ever-ready assistant, Mrs. Emma B. Horn encounters many of the same problems that confront him. She possesses a comprehensive knowledge of impor- tant, present-day trends. She is not only a capable adviser in problems involving our cur- riculum, but is also a patient listener to our tales of woe. Her suggestions have aided .many a troubled pupil, and all who have attended Lawrence agree that they prize the friendship of Mrs. Horn. 9

MR. DODD To say that the position of Superintendent of Schools is a difficult one would be a gross understate- ment. Yet, Mr. Lawrence V. Dodd pursues his duties in that capacity with more than ordinary success. H task has become increasingly more trying with fl- passing of time, both through wartime exigencief an expansion in our school system. And, of cow the phenomenal advances in the comparatively ne., vocational department have been brought about largely through his untiring efforts. We are proud of Mr. Dodd, who, in his personal interest in student affairs, demonstrates his truly pro- gressive nature. ADMINISTRATION MR. MACDONALD The lowly Freshmen, the slightly higher Sopho- mores, the haughty Juniors, the proud Seniors, all are under the watchful and sympathetic eye of Mr. Cecil C. MacDonald, who, as principal for thirty-one years, has guided the destinies of many appreciative stu- dents of our school. His pleasant smile, cheery uhellof' and understanding manner have endeared him to all. In the years to come we shall look back upon the joy- ful days. spent at Lawrence, and recall especially the inspiring personality of Mr. MacDonald. 8
