Ihoard op (Education jUR Hoard of Education consists of five prominent men who are elected by their fellow citizens to manage affairs dealing with education in our school district. The members, Mr. Eldred, Mr. Post, Dr. Vivona, Mr. Reilly, and Mr. Shaskan, the Chairman of the Board, devote a great deal of their time and energy so that the mechanism of our educational system functions properly. Although the members of the Hoard are not known personally to most students of Lawrence, these men work behind the scenes to make sure that the taxpayer’s dollar is spent in the best possible way toward educating the youth of our community. We are indeed indebted to these conscientious public servants for their outstanding service and for the fine work which they have accomplished. 8

The Principal’s Message: It has been said that there is no poverty as barren as that of failing; to know oneself. As Seniors you have had opportunity to discover yourselves—your interests and ideas. Vi ith that as a starting point, you can do much to cultivate your own acquaintance in the years to come. You may be pleasantly surprised at what good company you can be. If you succeed at it, you will become eligible for membership in that society of free men, who, rather than being dependent upon others for many of the real satisfactions of life, discover that they are in good company wherever they themselves happen to he. Good Luck to each of you! Cecil H. MaHood Assistant Principal’s Message: Education is continuous throughout life. One of the main objectives of Lawrence High School is to send its students on their varied ways with preparation and training to find their places and use those places to benefit themselves and Society. Both formal and creative education are offered to attain the well-rounded person. The hoy or girl who may have attained a wealth of knowledge in some particular field of learning and yet does not have a healthy respect for his fel-lowman, has failed in a vital part of his education. Likewise, it is important to realize that it is necessary to have a knowledge of the past as a basis for good judgment in accepting or rejecting new situations as they arise. 10
