Valedictorian Number one on the hit parade in respect to graduation averages is Phyllis Freeman. Graduating with the enviable average of 96.52 she not only is a whiz when it comes to class studies, but also is found many afternoons at the meetings of clubs. How she managed time to be an editor of the Lawrcncian is a mystery. Salutatorian The Second Honor Speaker of the Class of ’46 is Jane Menzies. Her average, 94.86, does not reveal her many talents. For not only did she belong to the Honor Society, but she was also the only student to get 100% in the Shorthand Regents and to receive a Gregg Shorthand award. Third Honor Speaker Alan Borgenicht will be the Third Honor Speaker at the commencement exercises this year. He earned this honor by achieving an average of 94.42. His worth was apparent to anyone who saw him step into the Buskin Tournament at the last minute and turn in a magnificent performance. PHYLLIS FREEMAN JANE MENZIES ALAN BORGENICHT 9

SENIOR OFFICERS — Standing: Walker, Y'enezio. Sealed: Miss Griffith. Gould. Donald. SEMI) CLASS THIS year’s Senior class followed a three year precedent in its first official act as Seniors by electing Miss Dorothy Griffith as Faculty Adviser. Immediately following the elections of officers, capably led by President John Gould, Vice-President Robert Walker, Treasurer Sophie Venezio, Secretary Betty Donald, the Seniors started work. The starting point of activity was Senior Day, a day of glory for the upperclassmen. Fred Abrams was appointed head of all Senior Day, and the student heads of all departments worked under him. Climaxing Senior Day were two hilarious affairs. The first was an assembly for the upperclassmen which depicted a mock trial of teachers, the perfect school, and the faculty rest room. The second affair was a basketball game between the faculty and the Senior boys, which was won by the teachers. The class officers also worked hard on the details for both the Senior Play and the Senior Dance, and largely due to their efforts, these were both a success. 18
