SENIOR HIS T O R Y TELL, here we are, sellout's about to end. Seniors of Lawrence, the Class VV of '4V, about to write our history for all time.” It seems only yesterday that we first entered Lawrence High as little, bewildered freshman. Being not too different from the classes which had gone before us, we met with and overcame all the difficulties which we now know are a vital part of high school life. Determining to make our record parellel that of the pioneers of 1849, we elected Robert De Leo, President; Robert Dembar, Vice-president; Frances Olivieri, Secretary, and Ralph Fabrizio, Treasurer, with Mrs. Lee as faculty adviser. We developed a feeling of pride and school spirit, and became enthusiastic Golden Tornado rooters. In our second year, now sure of ourselves, we found it our turn to look down on the incoming freshmen and demonstrate our ever-growing knowledge. Once more we elected very able officers: President, Gennaro Capozzi; Vice-President, Andy Jonyer; Secretary, I'rank Pezzimenti; Treasurer, Robert De Leo, and Mr. King, advisor. Who among the class of '49 can forget the thrill of becoming an upperclassman and all the wonder that still lay ahead for us? Filled with ambition and energy, we chose Robert De Leo, President; Frank OFFICERS Seated—Mr. KiiiR. Standimi —Pezzimenti. Jonyer, Holland, Iannicelli. Pezzimenti, Vice-President; Stephen Holland, Secretary; Andrew Jonyer, Treasurer, and Mr. Jones, faculty advisor, to head the class. We ordered our senior jewelry early in order to wear it while still juniors and capped the year with a prom, which, in everyone’s opinion, was “out of this world.” Then, all too soon, these wonderful years drew to a close. Once more it was time to elect officers; our capable leaders were Stephen Holland, President; F’rank Pezzimenti, Vice-President; Anna Iannicelli, Secretary; Andrew Jonyer, Treasurer, and Mr. King, faculty adviser. We have so many memories of our last days—the fun and the work, too. Never to be forgotten are the football games, senior hats, college boards, the Lawrencian, and countless other things which made up our last year. We will aways remember the senior play, the excitement of senior day, and the nostalgia of the senior prom. We will always remember, and we will always be grateful for these, the happy years at Lawrence. “Oh, here we are leaving precious f riends, Stepping to a new world, setting our new trends The Senior Class bids farezuell, to all zee make amends. So long to Lawrence High, zve’re at the end.” 16

HONOR SPEAKERS VALEDICTORIAN High man on the senior totem pole this year is Stephen Holland with an average of 93.65. Supporting his scholastic record is a list of extra-curricular activities that would make many a student envious. A natural leader, Steve is known at Lawrence for his keen mind and engaging personality. Besides excelling in classwork, he has consistently won praise as a football star, head boy Marshal, a member of the Honor Society, and last but not least as the President of the Senior Class. SALUTATORIAN Not far behind is our salutatorian, Valerie Silverman, with a 93.31 average. In addition to achieving this high mark, Val has been the President of Gamma Hi-Y, Vice-President of the Buskins, ‘ head girl Marshal, and School Life Editor of the Lawreneian. Much of the credit for the success of the Senior Day Variety Show can be attributed to her hard work. In contrast to the popular belief about the temperament of redheads, Valerie has always shown herself to be a charming and soft-spoken miss. THIRD HONOR SPEAKER The number three student of the graduating class is Louise Finkelstein, with a batting average of 92.79. Secretary of the Buskins, Circulation Manager of the Lawreneian, and Vice-President of Zeta Hi-Y—these reveal some of her many talents. During her Junior year, Louise received the honor of having her name inscribed on the Buskin Cup for an outstanding performance in the 1948 Tournament. 17
