WE, the FIFTIETH GRADUATING CLASS, will remember Lawrence High School, and it will remain dear to us forever, just as it has to the classes which have preceded us. As they did, we, too, recall that September day when we entered the halls of Lawrence for the first time as freshmen, searching for classrooms, the imaginary fourth floor, elevators, and swimming pools. Those days when we were groping around, seem like yesterday. We can reminisce about the messy lockers which we opened only to be greeted by a barrage of books falling from the top-shelf—the friendly cafeteria which offered us a time-out from the day's activities to talk with friends about our teachers, our subjects, our dates. Will we ever forget the feeling we experienced when we taught a freshman algebra class on Senior Day and a freshman stuck us with a problem —the first rate performances of the Senior Play and the annual Buskin Tournaments— the latest experience of our most recent trip to the office—the excitement and spirit of a game, especially when we won it? Neither can we lose the memories of the arguments we had at Forum meetings, nor the fun it was putting out the Mental Pabulum, or watching the band marching in order across the field to the tune of 'Onward Lawrence, Back-. D. Simmonds. Treasurer; Mr. J. Page, Adviser. Bottom-. F. Goldenberg, Secretary; A. Mazza, President. or the colorful cheerleaders leading us in a T-E-A-M, or the concerts given by the chorus, or the experiments we did in the chemistry room, and the smell some of them made. Who could ever forget the day we learned who were the senior celebs—the day pictures were taken and the broken-hearted fellow who stayed home from school racing to the Guidance Department to see how far in the class standing we went up—or down—the first day we drove a car to school? Ne’er to be forgotten is the day the LAWRENCIAN came out, and how we dashed about madly trying to get everyone to sign—how we hesitantly came back to school to learn the results of our regents, and the relief we felt when we found out that we'd not missed one small problem to give us that cherished 100% (well, perhaps only 98%). The one day sure to live, which we will tell to our grandchildren, is the day we left all those things behind—the day we said goodbye to our friends, to dear 'old' Lawrence, and to our teachers—the day of our graduation. We, the FIFTIETH GRADUATING CLASS of Lawrence High School, through the years will cherish the happy days we spent here; and perhaps, in fifty years, when we hear that the one-hundredth graduating class, maybe the class of our grandchildren, is leaving Lawrence, we will think back—and recall—and smile . . . 24

IIIHIII! SPEAKERS VALEDICTORIAN As our valedictorian, Judy Levenson topped the senior list with an average of 94.77. When not working out the most intricate of cross-word puzzles or putting the final touches to her academic work, Judy can be found taking an active part in her many clubs. We are sure that at college, as at Lawrence High School, Judy will remain at the head of her class. SALUT ATORI AN With an average of 93.85, Peter Franken becomes the Second Honor Speaker. All who know Peter are aware of the fact that studying heads the list of his interests. In addition to his scholastic achievements, Peter has taken an active part in the musical department at Lawrence by playing in our band and orchestra. THIRD HONOR SPEAKER At the commencement exercises this year, the Third Honor Speaker is Alice Newman, with an average of 93-51. Between her Scholastic work and very active participation in the Lawrencian, Mental Pabulum, Marshals and other clubs, Alice has had little leisure time. The indispensable girl of Lawrence, Ali, is sure to go far in her chosen field. 25
