HICKS Faculty Adviser LAWRENCE, NEW YORK FOREWORD DEFINITE purpose in life was never more needed than by the members of the Class of 1951. Only by developing every phase of our character, personality, and mental resources can we hope to achieve our goals in these turbulent times. During our four years at Lawrence High School, we have come to realize that all things worthwhile involve service. All our truly gratifying achievements are the result of the doing for someone else as well as for ourselves. Exemplary scholarship is not merely selfish learning in order to be the best in the class, but the building of knowledge and understanding so as to be of service to others. School activities offer us an ideal opportunity to integrate pleasure, skill, and service. By active club membership, we have learned to serve as we shall need to do in later life. In athletics, service is attained through teamwork. Here the fundamentals of group participation prepare us to work on a world team. Where better than in our everyday living at Lawrence High School can we render service? In the homeroom, in class organizations, in assemblies, and school publications we help our school and ourselves. Since service signifies doing, and the hand exemplifies this act, we have chosen the hand as the symbol of service for the theme of our yearbook.

Eminently successful in the field of business, abundantly endowed with the qualities of natural leadership, known and respected by those in high places, Mr. Shaskan could, had he so desired, have achieved more widespread public acclaim and recognition in endeavors other than those to which he dedicated himself. In common with most men of his stature, however, self-aggrandizement was foreign to his nature. His strong sense of civic duty and responsibility and his interest in efforts to push back the foothills and widen the horizon of mutual human understanding impelled him to contribute generously, and without thought of recognition, of his time, his energy, and his financial resources. Mr. Shaskan's conviction that a sound system of public education was essential to our individual and communal welfare, and his determination that the schools where he could make his influence felt be among the finest led to his long tenure of office as a member of the Board. The fact that his own children attended the public schools of the District prior to continuing their education in some of the country's leading colleges and universities attests the sincerity of his beliefs. It is the lot of members of Boards of Education to be and remain anonymous to those to whom they contribute most—succeeding generations of children in the schools they serve. Theirs also is a great heritage—to become unknowingly a part of the lives of the youth they touch. 7 First row—Mr. Reilly, Mr. Eldred, Chairman of the Board, Dr. Vivona. Second row—Mr. Fruin, Mr. Lazrus. BOARD OF EDUCATION rT 'HE Board of Education of District 15, Town of Hempstead, is made up of five men who are elected by the qualified voters in school elections. Theirs is the task of managing school business in our district. As our community grows, the complexity of the schools increases. The Board of Education gives much time and energy in order that we may have the best of schools and that the monies collected in school taxes be expended most effectively. Even though, but few of us know personally the members of the Board, we all, faculty and student body alike, owe the Board members a debt of gratitude for their outstanding service and the progressive work which they have accomplished. 8 Message from the Superintendent of Schools Lawrence V. Dodd Through education young people are taught to live nobly, to work valiantly, to think clearly and to serve well. The Lawrencian and the activities it represents are sound proof of how well we attain these purposes. We are proud of the success which the class of 1951 has achieved in all phases of High School life. Throughout the school life of young people an effort is made to create an atmosphere of amity which one day shall prevail throughout the world. A foremost task of any educational program is to develop the kind of young people who will be strong enough mentally, physically, and spiritually to build and sustain a peaceful society. Best wishes to each member of the class of 1951. Message from the Principal Congratulations to the Class of 1951! You have successfully completed a very important phase of your development and this in spite of doubts and uncertainties regarding the future. Not that your class is unique in this respect. When was there ever a graduation when the worriers failed to work overtime painting woesome pictures of the future, Yet each generation of graduates somehow has managed to survive and to achieve —rather comfortably too. Theodore Roosevelt’s, Don't flinch, don’t foul, but hit the line hard,” seem to have added meaning today. Good luck to each of you! Cecil H. MaHood 9 Elsie R. Tefft Guidance Director’s Message To the Members of the Class of 1951: Congratulations, Best Wishes, and Cood Luck! Perhaps I had better stop writing at this point, but a few more words will make my greeting quite clear. The interpretation is this: Congratulations on what things have been accomplished thus far. Best wishes for success in the next venture in life, and Good Luck which means being prepared to seize opportunities which open up before you. Assistant Principal’s Message to the Class of 1951 ■' May you be able to meet situations in life successfully. Be calm, face problems fearlessly with determination to do your best. Make decisions only after weighing all sides of the question carefully. Above all—know yourselves, both your capabilities and your limitations. Assistant Guidance Director’s Message Choosing a career is one of life's important Lut often vexing problems. People formerly believed that you mu:t enter college to study some particular or definite way to earn a living. Now we have found that there is more than that to the program of education. Whether you go on to college or not your training must be directed as much toward making a life as toward making a living. The liberally educated person well grounded in knowledge, past and present, and with character founded on sound background and good family training will be best equipped to adjust to this rapidly changing modern world. iy AY CU 10 Lyman W.

Only by knowing the truth can we be free. The writing hand symbolizes the application of that service in our classes. SENIOR CLASS HOW long ago the fall of 1947 seems as we Seniors of L. H. S.' look back over four eventful years. By November of the first year we had become sufficiently acclimated to our new environment to have our first class meeting. We Freshmen gravely aware of our place in the body politics of Lawrence High elected the following officers: Alex Cestra, President; Alice Esposito, Vice-president; Arthur Feldman, Secretary; John McClelland, Treasurer. Mr. Clark was chosen to act as our adviser. Sad but true we were too overcome with academic pursuits to do anything further that year as a class. To recall the thrill of a program card which we knew all about, and the sly fun of giving misleading information to the incoming class is a memory we cherish of our Sophomore year. Now we truly belonged and at our class meeting, we electcd these officers: President, Alex Cestra; Vice-President, Joan Epstein; Secretary, Louis Man-gieri; Treasurer, Dominic Marchetti, and Mr. Krctz, Faculty Adviser. September, 1949, the beginning of our Junior year, found us far more united and more purposeful than previously. At our class meeting, we chose Peter Bertucci, President; Louis Mangic-ri, Vice-President; Joan Epstein, Secretary; Carl Beiles, Treasurer, and Mr. Page, Faculty Adviser. Senior jewelry was selected by homeroom representatives after due consideration. During this year, the possibility of a State Law affecting Junior Driving Licenses caused more discussion among us than any proposal in the United Nations. In the Spring, we Juniors held our Junior Prom—a real success. It was hard to realize last September, as we came back, that we were the Senior Class. After the considered judgment of our group was mana-fested, we found our duly elected officers to be as follows; President, Peter Bertucci; Vice-President, Joan Epstein; Secretary, Reva Hicks; Treasurer, Josephine Bastos; Mr. King, Faculty Adviser. Nature provided a hurricane late in the fall, this seemed to give impetus to our deliberations. Plans were made for staging our Senior Play, the cast was chosen, and committees were appointed. Senior Day was organized and arrangements were made for those who were to participate. Last of all our Senior Prom was planned. During these events, the business of report cards every' six weeks, college entrance requirements, and the possibility of the lowering of the draft age were always with us. Thus our four years at Lawrence, which have been busy and happy, will always be remembered. 18 HONOR SPEAKERS VALEDICTORIAN With the remarkable average of 95.28, Carl Beiles leads the senior class as valedictorian. Carl has been active in extra-curricular activities throughout his high school life. He is President of the Honor Society, School Life Editor of the Law-rencian. President of both Lawcedin Hi-Y and the Hi-Y Cabinet. Carl not only excels in scholastic activities but is always ready to help in any thing worthwhile. Because of his knowledge, patience, and understanding, we are certain that he will achieve success in his chosen field. SALUTATORIAN A new comer to Lawrence High School in his Junior year, Alan Hruska soon won a real place for himself in our class with the average of 93.87. Alan was appointed on the Lawrencian Staff as Activities Editor. He has played an active part in intramural sports, excelling in basketball and soft-ball. Alan is also a member of Hi-Y. His versatility is evidenced in his being chosen as the lead in the Senior Play. We are sure that Alan will be successful in any field which he enters. THIRD HONOR SPEAKER Our third honor speaker is Martin Korn who has maintained an average of 93-66 through his four years. Many activities besides scholastic work have claimed Martin during his high school life. An active Buskin member, the President of the Junior Metropolitan Opera Guild, and leader of the bass section of the mixed chorus are but a few of his extra-curricular activities. Because of the inquiring attitude always displayed by Martin and his wide field of interests, we feel Martin cannot help but succeed in his life work. 19 PATRICK ARBOLINO Pat Freshman and Sophomore Chorus; Mixed Chorus 3, 4; Intramural Basketball.

SENIOR DAY THE morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1951, seemed to bring to the Senior Class the fulfillment of its dreams in Lawrence High. The simple fact that this was the day when the Seniors took charge of the school seemed very wonderful to the class. Now, they could show what a school should be like, how subject matter might best be presented, the manner of managing a perfect study hall, and how they thought a school should be run in general. The front door was opened to the Class of 1951 on that morning, and eager, determined students The group of teaching Seniors at the end of their successful day. 43 Let this he our policy. Just one moment, I’ll call him. entered promptly, so that they might get quickly to the business at hand. The customary loitering and chit-chat were omitted as the Seniors prepared to assume control. As chairman of Senior Day, Marie DiGirolamo had drawn up a chart of the teachers' schedules and checked to see that all assignments were filled. The task of arranging a staff for the school rested upon her shoulders. The head of each department was chosen and teachers signed up for various classes. The class officers assumed the administrative positions of Lawrence High School. Peter Bertucci, class President, was the Principal, and the position of Assistant Principal was held by Joan Epstein, No, this is not Lau rence. Is that correct, Mr. Simmonds?’ the class Vice President. Reva Hicks and Josephine Bastos, Secretary and Treasurer of the class were in charge of the Guidance Department. In charge of the English Department was Barbara Gross. Carl Beiles was the Head of Foreign Languages; Richard Diamond, Head of the Mathematics Department; the History Department was managed by Martin Korn; while Avrum Friedland was in charge of the Science Department. The Art Department was headed by Joan Fasso; the Library was under the direction of Angelina Nuz-zolo; Roberta Poster was the head of the Music Department; and Geraldine Catropa was in charge of the Commercial Department. The members of the faculty had been selected 44 A serious teachers’ meeting during lunch.

By the time the lunch periods had arrived, even the fact that in the lunch room there were imposing signs on certain tables Reserved for Seniors, many perplexed and weary Seniors would have enjoyed receiving assignments instead of giving them. There were compensations for the weary faculty that day, for the afternoon alternate schedule brought the classes to a close at two-thirty. In an assembly, held for the Seniors and Juniors, a skit was presented by a cast of Seniors, portraying their four years of high school.

Even though the game was a battle of sexes, the Juniors and underclassmen were ardent fans of their favorite team and formed a very audible cheering section. The long day was over. Tired Seniors almost forgot that theirs was the privilege of using the front door, but they managed to exit through the most desired portal of L. H, S. Senior Day had been fun, but everyone who had participated agreed that it was lots less work to be a pupil than a teacher. All looked forward to the next day when they would be the receivers of the assignments and not the givers. 45 CELEBE Btj+ Dressed M Mcnelli—B.Brown Be s+ Musicians N.

I've just got to go to Prep School.' Hey you guys! Simmer down. THE Class of 1951 selected a delightful comedy, Remember the Day,” a former Broadway success, to present as their Senior Play. The play dealt with the life and problems of a school in a small town in the Midwest. The play con-s.sted of a prologue, the main body of the play, and the epilogue. In the lobby of a Washington hotel, Nora waited to see D. A. Roberts who was an important individual in the Capital. However, Mr. Roberts ignored Miss Nora Trinc-11 there in the hotel lobby until his conscience bothered him and he began to remember how wonderful she had been as his teacher. The scene then flashed back to a schoolroom where Dewey Roberts, as a boy, and some of his classmates were staying after school. Miss Trinell permitted the class to leave, but she kept Dewey so as to talk to him in order to determine the cause of his apathetic attitude. She learned the prime cause was the insistence of Dewey's parents that he leave public school and enter a boarding school which was out of town. Seeing that the boy needed a friend, she agreed to speak to his parents. From then on the plot unfolds involving the pupils, some of the faculty and some parents in the problems of adolescent life. Due to the efficient management of Carl Beiles and his able assistants, Sandy Berman, Patty Hens-ler, and Frank McHugh, the publicity and the ticket sales were very successful. Way back in March the plan of ticket sales was made, the tickets ordered, and the drive for sales was launched. The stage crew had its hardworking members: Bob Kahn, Carmen Corbelli, Bill Oliveri, Lou Lanzilotta, and Barton Goldman. The sets were well designed, painted, or wallpapered by some of the Senior girls: Jane Penny, Joan Epstein, Anita Strum, Marcia Eigen, Ruth Bull, Claire Mil-berg, Judy Zipscr and Patty Hensler. The play served a double purpose, a means of raising money and uniting the class. They, too, had a day to remember. 49 JUNIOR CLASS First row—Cisario, Ango, Capone, Falanga, Rizzo, Magliaro.

THE members of the class of 52 entered Lawrence High School in September with the happy realization that they at last were upperclassmen ! After struggling with the perennial woes of trigonometry, learning how a bill becomes a law, and slaughtering poor old Cicero s best efforts, the juniors elected Ralph Mazza, president; Douglas Lowenstein, vice-president; Donald Cardea, secretary; Jean TourofF, treasurer; and Mr. Simmonds, as class adviser.

SOPHOMORE CLASS ft. fXX, (j C3®C%©I?vL 5 ----r' THH members of the Class of 1953, attempting to live up to the meaning of the word sophomore, tried many and various types of ingenious reasoning to impress the incoming Freshmen. The class organization was as follows: President, Joseph DeVito; Vice-President, Gene Pancrello; Secretary, William Dent; Treasurer, Barbara Barnett; and Faculty Adviser, Mr. Jones. Plans were made for a square dance which promised to be the best thing in history of the class. The title of Upperclassmen soon will fall on this group and more and more they will participate in school activities, contributing to the school life of Lawrence. First rou—Feldman.

Alter days of anticipation, Wednesday, September sixth arrived and the Freshmen were permitted to enter Lawrence High by way of the front door. Fortunately for this year’s class no upper classmen were waiting to play tricks. Instead, the Marshals were on hand to guide the Freshmen to the auditorium where Mr. MaHood, Miss Teft, and Mr. Davidson briefed them on rules and regulations. After conquering the confusion of the Up and Down stairways, the pool, and the elevator to the fourth floor, the Freshmen elected Dominic Sorrcntino, President; Henry Donald, Vice-President; Margot Wishbow, Secretary; Eleanore Schoen, Treasurer, and Miss Osmers, Faculty Adviser.

LA WRENCIA N TO produce a high school yearbook is not so simple a task as many people believe. From the time of the choice of an editor at the close of school in June, work continues until at the end of the following school year a copy of the completed book is sent to the National Scholastic Press Association to be rated with other yearbooks published in high schools throughout our United States. These were the steps followed in the formation of this, the 1951 Lawrencian, which has aimed to emulate the first class honor ratings of previous Lawrencians. During the summer the dummy or plan for the layout of the yearbook was prepared by its editor-in-chief, Patricia Hensler who had the responsibility of the assigning work and seeing that the dead line was met. When school opened in the fall, positions were assigned to those students who in time became a part of the Lawrencian Family. Individual write-ups for each member of the senior class were compiled by Claire Mil-berg and Peter Bertucci. As Club Editors, Susan Horwitz, Ronda Seibel, and Alan Hruska covered all activities of the many organizations at Lawrence.

Each athletic activity at Lawrence was reported by Sports Editors, Marcia Eigen and Robert Robin. The task of selling and distributing the 1951 Lawrencian was handled by the circulation staff headed by Joan Epstein, and a record number of sales were made. The Art Staff under James Simmonds has provided the drawings. Advertising was secured by the Advertising Staff, under Robert Abrams. Financial problems were capably met by Business Manager, Barbara Gross, while most of the photographs were taken under the direction of the Photography Editor, Thomas Berle. After Christmas, the material was assembled, organized, and then typed by Reva Hicks in proper form to be sent to the printer. Following the Easter vacation the proofs were received for checking. The completed books were finally delivered for distribution at the year's end. This goal could not have been achieved without the patience, wisdom, and encouragement of Mrs. Hazel C. Hicks, faculty adviser of the yearbook. Thus, was completed the excellent work of all those who had helped to make the 1951 Lawrencian possible.

HONOR SOCIETY OI; all the extra-curricular activities, probably the one aspired to by most Lawrencians is the Honor Society. The Society's members are the leaders of our school community'. In order to become a member of the Lawrence High School Chapter of the National Honor Society, a student must meet certain rigid requirements. He must maintain at least an 85% scholastic average. He must exhibit the qualities whose initials are on the emblem of the society, namely: service, leadership and most important, character. Included under character are a sense of responsibility, good manners, and general pleasantness. Because of the high qualifications necessary for admittance, the members of this organization may feel, and justly so, a deep sense of pride. Throughout the year, the members of the Honor Society are ready to do any service for the school that may be asked of them. The final event for the Honor Society comes on June Night, when the new members of the club are inducted in an inspiring program during which the cornerstones of the Society, its four guiding principles, are recited, and its two aims are repeated. These two aims, stated in the charter of the organization, are to maintain a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to bear forth the searching light of truth. Miss Leavitt is the faculty adviser. The President is Carl Beiles; the Vice-President, Peter Bertucci; the Secretary, Josephine Bastos; and the Treasurer, Martin Weinberg. 60 First row—Kracke, Gross, Epstein, Eigen, Mrs. Horn, Berle, Birnbaum, Bernstein, Sinofsky.

MARSHALS U A FRESHMAN'S best friend,” is an excel- JL lent description of the group of students, known as the Marshals. Selected for their leadership, character, merit, and courtesy, these students are the best qualified to render service to the school. Every year the most important duty of the Marshals is the orientation of the incoming Freshman to the Buff and Bine community. On the first day, they show the new students around, answering any questions about procedure or school rules. By explaining the intricacies of the Lawrence High School locker, the Marshals aid the Frosh in overcoming their greatest obstacle. The Freshmen are also very definitely assured that there are no elevators, fourth floors, or swimming pools. This friendly welcome by the Marshals helps to make the newest members of Lawrence High School feel less like strangers and helps them to become better acquainted with the physical aspects of our school. In addition, the Marshals often usher at school and P. T. A. functions, being especially active guiding puzzled parents on Visitor's Day. Another important service of the Marshals is their careful patrol of the bicycle room, distinctly showing their interest in the property of their fellow students. With their capable adviser, Mrs. Emma B. Horn, and under the leadership of Marcia Eigen, head girl Marshal and Thomas Berle, head boy Marshal, this group has again proven itself worthy of the honor. Every Lawrencian knows that the Buff and Blue armband is a sign of true service and a readiness to lend a helping hand. 61 MENTAL PABULUM THE school newspaper, the Mental Pabulum, supported only by its advertisers and the student body, this year established several new columns to add to the general enjoyment. Appearing in the Mental Pabulum for the first time are the following new features: The popular quizzes, Who Am I?” and the Inquiring Reporter,” interesting News of Colleges,” Musical Notes,” Sports Shorts, and the original cartoons by a real Lawrencian. Besides the new articles, the Pab's readers always found some old stand-bys including: Above the Crowd, Alumni News,” Social Column,” News of Other Schools,” Theatre News,” and of course, the Editorials and Sports Highlights.” Eor the first time since its publication, the Mental Pabulum printed a ten-page issue for its Christmas edition. This was made possible by the untiring efforts of the managing editor and the advertising department. Without advertising it would be impossible for the Pab to come out regularly and still be the self-supporting publication that it is. Because Lawrencians represent an important potential market, all copy is written to appeal directly to the students. The ads are not only carefully made up for content but also styled to add life to the paper. To better student-merchant relationship full page ads communicating a single theme were sponsored by cooperating merchants and a market column listing the best buys revived. The co-editors were Ellyn Schiff and Kay Blum berg, while Roy Friedman was managing editor and Vivian Sinofsky was circulation manager. This group and the literary staff put in many long hours preparing the copy for press. The copy had to be sent to the printer by a set deadline. When the galley was returned, the staff went to work in earnest. Every word had to be carefully checked for typographical errors and names received special attention. Following additions and deletions, the make-up was begun. This was First row—Kaplan. Silver, Stein, Greenblatt. Second row—Epstein, Sinofsky, Brambir, Blumberg, Mrs. Denton. Schiff, Glass, Birnbaum.

Each year student journalists from New York State enter the Columbia Press Conference. They attend journalism clinics and learn from experienced newspaper people the fundamental principles in good newspaper production. After a three- day series of such clinics, an annual luncheon is held at the Waldorf-Astoria. In attendance this year for Mental Pabulum, were Roy Friedman, Stuart Glass, Sheila Grecnblatt, Hermainc Watter-son, Steve Schoenbrun, Ronald Marks and Lloyd Weinreb accompanied by Mrs. Denton. The members of the staff have tried to give the students a paper which they can enjoy and will want to read. With the assistance of their faculty adviser, Mrs. Denton, the newspaper has been able to maintain the high standards set in 1932— the first year of publication. 63 First row—Dnicker.

B USKINS FRIDAY evening, November 17, 1950, marked an important date for the Buskins of Lawrence High School. On this date, the 20th Annual Buskin Tournament was presented. This year's tournament was composed of three one act plays. First, Fred Biamonte and Marcia Koenig appeared in Illuminate in Drama Libre,” the dramatic counterpart of a modern painting. This surrealist interpretation of characters and words both enchanted and bewildered the audience, at the same time, leaving behind the impression that modernism can successfully be carried to all forms of art. The second play to be presented was Balcony Scene,” a tragedy taking place at a funeral. David Garmise played the dead man; Carmen Perrino appeared as Death: Patricia Livorsi, as the man’s sweetheart; Roy Friedman as a gangster; and Ronda Seibel, Ann Cullen, Kay Blumberg, and Sam Berliner as spectator friends of the deceased. The final play, Married at Sunrise,” was a delightful comedy depicting the unfortunate lover's quarrel of Elsie the sweet young thing” and Alex, her soldier-boyfriend. The problem faced by Elsie's parents when she informed them that she wished to be married at sunrise led to a more than amusing situation. Elsie was played by Mimi Kaplan; Alex by Norman Wax; Mother, Sylvia Birnbaum; Father, Martin Korn; the Grandma, Julie Springer; and Peggy, the younger sister, Roberta Karpel. Besides participating in the tournament as actors, Buskin members learned about lighting, musical arrangement, and the construction and painting of both scenery and backdrops from their adviser, of both scenery and backdrops from their adviser and instructor, Miss Ellsworth. 64 Papa interferes—a scene from Married aI Sunrise.

BAND THE Lawrence High School Band accompanied by the twirlers reached another successful season this year. One hundred twenty members marched out into the field and were an inspiration to the teams. Rated among the Island’s best, the Band finished its season undefeated” in the quality of its musical formations. Besides entertaining in splendid fashion before the game and during half-time intermissions, they often pro- vided the spark needed to put over a winning touchdown and raised the spirit of the school to a feverous pitch during Jong gains and touchdown drives. Then came a gala season of concerts and community service projects, the foremost of which, the dedication of the new Atlantic Beach Bridge, caused favorable comments by Governor Dewey and County Executive Sprague. 66 First row—Schwadron.

The highlight of this presentation was the singing of 'Til Be Home for Christmas” by Joseph Ciotti, a graduate CHOR US of Lawrence High School. On February 21 for the Five Towns Annual Brotherhood Song, our Lawrence High School s choraliers again entertained doing Beethoven’s ’Hallelujah,” and Brahm’s How Lovely is My Dwelling Place.” On April 13 Franz Lehar’s popular The Merry Widow ' was presented in splendid fashion.

ORCHESTRA THE Lawrence High School orchestra provides an excellent background in music for all its members. Under the direction of Mr. Jones, the orchestra concluded a very successful and enjoyable year. This group of musicians not merely performed throughout the year but held discussions on the works of such classic masters as Brahms, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Gluck. The works of con- temporary composers were studied carefully and were classed by their style, structure, and meaning. During Brotherhood Week, the Orchestra under the direction of Marie Di Girolamo, played at a community concert. The officers were Mari Di Girolamo, President; Lillian Mastronardi, Vice-President; Emily Stile, Secretary; and Toby Bogas, Librarian.

N. forces were nearing Seoul and Dick Tracy was still looking for Wiggles, but to twelve hundred Lawrencians the fact that this was the day that the Golden Tornadoes were to start the 1950 football season far outshone all these other events. As the band played Onward Lawrence,” and the stadium filled with cheers and confetti, the highly rated Mineola team kicked off to start the pigskin parade of 1950. On the bench, head coach Ted Ciamillo and his assistants, Frank King and Walter Kretz, were wondering how their charges would make out despite the loss of many of Lawrence's aces. It did not take them long to find out. Before the night was over, the Buff and Blue of Lawrence sparked by the pile driving Bob Schmidt downed a fighting Mineola eleven 13-0. The following week our boys took a trip to Southhampton to meet a revamped Southhampton eleven. The big gun in our attack was Lenny Hazel who blasted his way to two of the four touchdowns made by Lawrence. Ben Stamile and Sam Wright went over for one T. D. apiece and the Golden Tornadoes came home on the top half of a 26 to 13 score. On October 7, the Lawrence eleven came home to meet a fine Baldwin aggregation. The Buff and Blue just couldn't stop the gold clad boys from down Baldwin way. Dick Grotz hit Charlie Shaw with an amazing pass, for the first touchdown and the final score came after a Baldwin interception. Although Lawrence tried valiently they couldn’t hit pay dirt, and the game ended with Baldwin winning 13-0. The Golden Tornadoes went to Glen Cove and upset the favored Covers by a score of 14-0. A fine night's work in any man's language. Bob Schmidt and Lenny Hazel again carried the ball for Lawrence. Schmidt scored all 14 of the Buff and Blue’s points. Lenny Hazel passed beautifully from in back of a very fine blocking line. The Saturday after the Glen Cove game, the Lawrencians went to Bellrr.ore to meet a Mepham High School eleven. Spearheaded by George Maushart, Mepham’s candidate for all scholastic fullback, the Mepham ball toters eked out a 6-0 victory. Bob Schmidt (our own all scholastic hopeful), took the opening kickoff on his own 15 yard line and behind effective blocking ran 85 yards for what looked like a touchdown, only to Ltturence breaks through. 82 be called back to midfield where he had stepped out of bounds. Home again after a two week leave of absence, the Golden Tornadoes played host to Central High School from Valley Stream. This game was a perfect example of how important those linemen, who are very rarely praised, are to the successful outcome of a game. The sensational line play of such forward wall stalwarts as Marty Rose, John Nelson, Red Pearsall, and Joe Blunt was the deciding factor in the game. Charlie Combs returned a Central punt, and with the help of acrushing downfield blocked by Toby Gumbs, went all the way for a touchdown. There was no more scoring as both teams buckled down to the business at hand and Lawrence won 6-0. Our next opponent was Old Man Weather, and we just couldn't beat him. The Sewanhaka game was called off because of wet grounds, and the Lawrencians didn’t see action again until the traditional Far Rockaway game. The game from the beginning was a runaway. Bob Schmidt, Lenny Hazel, and Gil Gumbs, who all were playing their last game for the Buff and Blue, were the combination that helped to beat the Far Rockaway Seasiders 33-0. Three times Bob Schmidt crossed the white line for touchdowns. Lenny Hazel scored once and Gil Gumbs intercepted a Seasider pass on his own 33 yard line and raced 67 yards for a touchdown. For the first time in the football history of Lawrence High, a player was chosen for All Scholastic and AH Metropolitan football teams. Bob Schmidt was selected ahead of every other fullback in the area for this honor. Will Stroman and Lenny Hazel made honorable mention on the All Scholastic team. Not enough credit can be given to all the boys on the team. Whether a star or a bench warmer the boys worked hard and long to bring you the fine team that the Lawrencians proved to be. Also deserving of a great deal of credit is Coach Cia-millo and his assistants, Mr. King and Mr. Kretz, who molded a team that won 5 and lost 2 games this year. First row—Hazel, Pearsall, Stamile, C.

BASKETBALL THIS year's basketball team was a determined and hardworking group. From the opening tipoff of the first game to the final buzzer of the last game the boys were in there battling and hustling. Their spirit was hard to match. Coach Zimmie Nathanson picked the cream of the crop from over fifty boys who tried out for varsity positions. In midseason six boys were brought up from the Junior Varsity squad because of their superior playing ability. The first game was as always with our old rival, Woodmere. In a very close and well played game the Blue Jackets from Woodmere edged us out although Lesser had 13 points and Landesman and Reisert each had 11. Satch” Carcaterra, a newcomer in our school, played a wonderful floor game and proved to be the boy to watch throughout the season. We avenged ourselves in the other Get that ball. 84 jump ball. Two points in the making. half of that series. In one of the best played games of the year, a determined Golden Tornado team downed the Woodmere five” 57-43. Not only was it one of the best played games of the season, it also was one of the hardest fought. 55 fouls were called and five men fouled out of the game. Lesser led both teams in scoring with a high of 18 points, followed closely by Carcattera with 14. Both boys fouled out before the game was over. Before starting the League season, the Golden Tornadoes warmed up by playing Long Beach, Lynbrook, and a team from the Greensboro High School in North Carolina. Coach Nathanson and his boys were now' ready to face such tough opposition as Mepham, Freeport, Sewanhaka, Hempstead, Central, and Baldwin. Our second game with Central was one for the books. Law'rence was leading all the way and it looked as if w'e had a sure win under our belts, but in the last quarter we were plagued by bad breaks and we lost a heartbreaker 45-42. Lesser, Carcaterra, Landesman—in fact all the boys played their hearts out for that one and it was a tough game to lose. The last game of the year w'as the kind of a game that makes coaches grow old before their time. Our opponent was Hempstead and we were playing on our court, a game, which was dose all the way, the score tied, and w'ith three seconds left, Stan Hamilton drove through the entire Hempstead team and put in a layup, but it was a fraction of a second too late. The game w'as over and the score tied 47-47. In the first overtime, Schaffer of Hempstead took the tipoff and scored on an easy layup. Our own, Emil Mari, tied it up with a long set shot from outside the foul circle. The first overtime was over and the score was still tied 49-49. Meddis of Hempstead took the tipoff in the sudden death period, he shook loose from his man and scored . . . Lawrence lost 51-49. Coach Nathanson will miss his seniors, Lew' Lesser, Satch” Carcaterra, Bill Landesman, and Eddie Leiblich, but he has a wealth of talent coming up and we all w'ish him luck. FirsI row—Cohan, Filler.

V. basketball team. Not only did the team play good ball throughout the season, but also seven of its best boys were moved up to Varsity in midseason. These boys were Mickey Sidcl, Stan Hamilton, Bob Leonette, Henry Fuller, and Joel Chinman. This demonstrated the useful purpose of a Junior Varsity team—a training ground for Varsity. Some of the Varsity bound hoopsters who finished the year with Coach Kogel were Toby Gumbs, Fred Reisert, Willie Dent, Norton Rosensweig, and Pat Caffasso. The Jay Vees played the same schedule as the Varsity Basketball team and fared very well. The best games of the year were with Central, Hempstead, Mepham, and the opener with Woodmere. In the opener a strong Woodmere five were defeated by a score of 31-29. Stan Hamilton was high man with 10 points. The game with Mepham was a tie at the end of the regular game, but after a two minute rest period, Mepham rushed in and beat our boys 49-45. Fred Reisert was high scorer of both teams with 21 points. On the whole the team showed great poise and stability and will be a good nucleus for the Varsity team next year.

Fifth row—Vivona, Venezio, Zarillo, Carceatera, Pearsall, Mr. Nathanson. BASEBALL A strike is born. EARLY in March, the first announcements of Baseball practice were heard over the loudspeaker. From then on Coach Zimmie Nathanson worked tirelessly getting the team ready for their first game. When the weather permitted, the boys worked out in Horn Stadium and on stormy days individual practice was held in the gym. With the return of many players, Coach Nathanson had a firm foundation on which to build his team. Tom Vivona, Lou Cerillo, Jesse Wachtel and Bob Weinstein were the pitchers back from the 1950 team; Ben Stamile, the catcher; Verezio, Lanzalotta, Lynch, Belcher, and Alex Cestra, the infields; Ronnie Lanzalotta, Ponte Veramo and Sam Wright the outfielders. Up from J. V. to supplement this list were pitchers Solomon and Abrams; infielder Red Carr and outfielder Pearsall. Our school is expecting great things from these boys and we know they will not disappoint us. 87 TRACK IN the spring of 1951 the thought of many Lawrencians turned to the track team. The old members inspired the group due to their success at West Point last year. The first meeting, after the call for candidates, went to training with grim determination. Running the 880 for Lawrence this year was Bob Phillips, who was a winner at West Point. Bob Mott threw the discus and the shot, while Bill Hastings confined himself to the discus. Lenny Hazel and Gil Gumps ran the sprints, and Mel left to Stan Hamilton and Gil Gumps competed in the broad jump. For the relays there were Mel Ohrbach, Ed O'Conner, Lenny Hazel, and Ira Cohen. Inspired by the win at West Point last spring, the 1951 Varsity Track Team has shown real Lawrence fighting spirit at all its meets. Since not many runners were lost because of graduation, Coaches Whitman and King were able to organize all the aspiring Golden Tornedoe track men into an effective and hard running team. First row—Rice, Lowenstein. Schimmel. Kunitz, Jacobs. Second row—Ohrbach, Mott, Voehl, Nelson, Mr. King, Mr. Whitman, Napolitano, Phillips, Giordano, O'Connor.

For the mile run, Coach Whitman had both Giordano boys, Guido Vacchio, and Bob Mainon. In the jumps, which are an important part of any track meet, Coaches Whitman and King had an ample supply of talent. John Nelson was back to compete in the pole vault. Right behind him was another Ietterman, Bobby Voehl, who was followed by Lou Napolitano. The high jump was 88 First rou—Schcnkcl, Abrams, Bernholtz, Weiss, Epstein. Roscnsweig. Weinreb. Second row—Schenkel. Bernstein, Jacobs, Mr. Cameron, Gold, Humes, Resnick, Handel. TENNIS GOLF THE Tennis Team for 1950-1951 is fortunate to have on it three of the members of last year's undefeated South Shore Athletic League Champions. These three, Peter Jacobs, Robert Abrams, and Roy Friedman, will play singles positions. Walter Epstein and Richard Bernstein, seniors, will play first doubles. Among possibilities for a second doubles team are Peter Bernholz, Lloyd Weinreb, Michael Schachter and Steven Schenkle. Mr. Cameron and his racketmen will be seen training as soon as the weather permits to hold the South Shore League Championship for another year. THE golf team this year, despite the loss of Joe Ennis the 1949 interscholastic champion, should be one of the best Lawrence has had in many a year. This will be a difficult task for we have won the S. S. A. L. championship for the past sixteen years. Most of the load is placed on the shoulders of Kenny Sidcl, this year's captain, who is a junior and his brother Mickey, a sophomore. Coach Walter Kretz is depending on Alvin Burlingame, Ed Leiblich, Dave Plato, and Carmen Corbelli to back up Kenny and Mickey. First row—Combs, Cesario. Ohrmond, Mr. Kretz, Seidel, Eigen, Flatow. Second rou — Attadino, Burlingame. Cardea, Fletcher, Mack. Satz, Skelling-ton. 89 Freshman Basketball COACH TED CIAMILLO had a very successful season with the Freshman Basketball team. Robert Morelli, Ralph Williams, Connie Hanlon, Donald Nawi, and Paul Casper, who was moved up to varsity, made up the nucleus of the team. However, the whole team played good ball and all the boys were given a chance to play. Gym Team THIS year, Mr. Whitman again coached the gym team. The boys performed on the parallel bars, ropes, and the newly acquired trampolin. After much practice during the winter, the team gave an exhibition in the spring. Frosh Football THE freshmen football team this year proved to be one of the best Coaches Whitman and Mallo turned out in many a year. They finished the season with a record of five wins, one tie, and one loss. The outstanding players were Ken Carmel, Thomas Andrino, Dom Sorrentino, and Eddie Pc-rrino. First row—Mistero. H. Williams, Cardea, Catilano, Cafasso, Spennilli. Di Domenico, Hanlan. Second row— Brightman. Jackson. B. Carmel, K. Carmel. Davis. Bitetti, Perrino. Noto, Wcinsenfelt. Third row—Mr. Whitman, Castadly.

Second row—Marcantoni, Lcrner, William, Ber-zon, Maiorenio, Maye, Zarro. Third row—Gerraputa, Bomze, Garrofano, Mr. Whitman, Weiss, Bagliotti, Koenig. Fourth row—Nammack, Doherty, Oliveri, Voehl, Smith, Rabb, Rich. Bowling Coach prank whitman led his bowling team into fourth place in the South Shore Athletic League competition. The keglers led by Captain Norman Flinkman included Bill Oliveri, Dave Teirsten, Mike Iannico, and Larry McGrory, who bowled in that order. The Golden Tornadoes faced stiff competition from Baldwin and Freeport but finally beat them out in the standings. The bowlers have an average of 170 which is very good for High School competition. Softball THIS year's turnout for Softball was beyond the hopes of Mr. Page. Besides Fred and Joe Reisert, Pete Brambir, Dave Bernstein and a few more lettermen, there were about fifty new boys. With all of this talent, Lawrence was assured a strong winning team. . V. Baseball MR. GLENDAY, the J. V. baseball coach can not tell exactly what to expect from the team this year as this is his first year in the school, but he does know they face a very tough schedule and will have to fight very hard to stay on top. Trophies ONE of the most prized possessions of Lawrence High School is the trophy case. In it are awards ranging in size from the tremendous Long Island Indian trophy awarded our football team in 1947, to the thimble sized trophy given to the winner of the Senior Boy-Girl Basketball game each year. Our trophy case is an inspiring sight which all Lawrencians should take time to see. Frosh Track THE feeding line for Varsity Track is the Jayvee team. More than one hundred freshmen turned out for the first practice. The team had a tough schedule and met it w'ith firm opposition. First row—Marks, Solovci, Grossman, Weinberg, Mr. Page, Bcrzon, Penny, Rose, Brower, Garafano. Second row—Gillmore, Lefer, Markowitz, Weiss, Sneider, Bia-monte, Dietz, Bertish. Third row—Diamond, Garmise, Morse, Bellows, Katz, Goldsmith, Jacobson, Lobel. Fourth row—Usiskin, Schachter, Reisert, Falk, McCarron, Studner.

Miss Wells, Brown, Catropa, Watts. Third row—Robinson, Hahn, Orenstcin, Romano, Fiedelson. CHEERLEADERS THE spirited cries of TEAM LET'S GO, which echoed through the halls of Lawrence High School have led the Golden Tornadoes on to many victories. The versatile cheerleaders under the guidance of Miss Wells inspired greater school spirit. Attired in their new uniforms, this year’s cheering squad composed many new and unusual cheers. The co-captains were July Zipser and Buttons Brown. GYM LEADERS THE Gym Leaders represent those girls who excel in athletics as well as leadership and good sportsmanship. The girls are carefully selected each year by Mrs. Barber and Miss Wells. They assist in the gym classes by taking attendance and caring for equipment. This year the girls, under the leadership of Josephine Bastos, President; Gloria Maffei, Vice-President; Anita Stern, Secretary; and Marie De Milia, Treasurer; set a fine example in all the gym classes. First rou—Esposito. Maffei, Rocco, Winkler. Second row—Natalie. Finklestein, Wright, DeMilia, Mukamal, Proscia, Lobel. Pinnola. Third row—Miss Wells, Cullen, Rosenberg, Penny, Dole, Franklin, Bastos, Mrs. Barber. 92 Hockey BECAUSE of the unusually adequate facilities for playing Hockey at Lawrence High School, an exceptionally large number of the girls make field hockey a major sport. This year their schedule included games with Baldwin and Amityville High Schools. In both of these games the scores were tied. Seniors made up the majority of the Honor Team, captained by Marie DeMilia. The team placed sixth in Sport's Day competition with a total of three points. Softball IF any of you have wondered what those spirited cries were that echoed from Horn Stadium this Spring, guess no longer. It was the Girls' Softball Team practicing for their intermural competition. Under the guidance of Miss Wells, they maintained the excellent standing that they achieved last Spring. Many of last years’ experienced players returned this year. First rou—Taylor. Messinetti, Rocco. Natalie. Second row•—Bull, De Milia, Miss Wells. Penny. De Croce. Third rou—Haber, Dole, Ciaravolo, Maffei. Basketball BASKETBALL, a favorite winter sport, returned to Lawrence High School as the call for volunteers for practice was given. Many girls reported for practice and Mrs. Barber, the coach, had a difficult time selecting the most skillful players for the team. By February first this was done and the girls were started on their victorious way. The girls who upheld the fine record of Lawrence were Marie DeMilia, Gloria Maffai, Elvira Messenette, Ruth Bull, Mary Taylor and Jane Penny. The team competed with the teams representing Oceanside, Lindenhurst, and Long Beach High Schools. At the Annual Sports Day competition, our team played their usual skillful game. First row—Dale, DeMilia, Maffei, Recms. Second row— Bull, Rocco, Miss Wells, Clausen, Capone. Third row— Taylor, DiCroce, Penny, Jackson. First row—Dole, Taylor, Grabman. Second row—Messinetti, Bull, Mrs. Barber, Maffei, Ciaravolo. 93 TENNIS First row—Mukamal, Randolph. Second row Cullen, Klein, Mrs. Barber, Klein. First row—Barnett. Second row—Rosenberg, Mrs. Barber, Siegel. BADMINTON ONE look at the record will clearly show what active girls' tennis team Lawrence had this season. The team not only tied for first place on Sports Day, which was held at our own school this fall, but also maintained a very high rating during the tennis season. Many hours of practice under the guidance of Mrs. Barber made it possible tor the girls to defeat such strong opponents at Mepham and Lynbrook. Members of the team were Joan Siegel, Joan Rosenberg and Gladys Gelfman, who played singles, and, Julie Springer and Barbara Barnett, who played doubles. The girls played so effectively that they were able to defeat South Side by scores of 6-1; 6-4; and 6-0. At Baldwin they displayed the same talent by defeating them 6-2, 6-3; and 6-3. THE Badminton Teams this year were comprised of many beginners. Mrs. Barber worked hard preparing them for intramural competition. During the season the girls had matches with Ereeport, South Side, and Baldwin High Schools. A new rule which eliminated a team from further competition after one defeat caused us to suffer a sad fate on Sports Day. Even though the team was not victorious in all its encounters, many of this year's players will be back again next year promising a nucleus for a successful team. V__________________________ Volley Ball VOLLEYBALL was again a very popular sport. The girls, coached by Mrs. Barber, played the teams of various neighboring schools. Important contests were with Malverne, Mepham, and Lynbrook High Schools. Class Teams served as a line training for the girls who were selected to represent Lawrence on the Honor Team. One of the outstanding triumphs was the defeat of the powerful Malverne team by a score of 44-10. Again on Sports' Day our Honor Team defeated Malverne to take first place. Table Tennis BECAUSE of the large percentage of Seniors on last year’s table tennis team, the team for 1950-51 recruited many Freshmen. Much practice under the supervision of Miss Wells developed techniques and teamwork. Although they did not succeed in winning all their games, the experience which they obtained this year will certainly help them next year. The Sportsday this year was held at Lawrence. Eight schools sent five girls here as their representatives. Each of these girls played three matches totaling 15 games in all. As a result of these games, the ratings were set. Lawrence received 12 points and tied with Mepham for 3rd place. Bowling MORE and more Lawrencians have become interested in the sport of bowling. Games and practice were held at Falcaro's Bowling Alleys. Even though bowling became a recognized sport in Lawrence but two years ago its popularity is outstanding. Both Mr. Falcaro and our instructor, Mrs. Barber, have helped the bowlers develop new skills. This year our Bowling Team competed against Valley Stream, Mepham, and Lindenhurst High Schools, displaying excellent form and ability. Linda Laub, Dorothy Smith, and Marie De Milia had the highest scores, 134, 121, and 106 points respectively. First row—Taylor, Dale, Wright, De Milia, Maffei, Finkelstein, Pinnola. Second row—Seigelson, Bull, Penny, Mrs. Barber. Bastos, Franklin, Rosenberg. First row—Klein. Klein. Second row— Mukamal, Miss Wells, Kahn. First row—Rocco, De Milia. Second row —Smith, Miss Wells, Maffei. Our school life is completed by an opportunity for fun and friendship. This final section of our Yearbook records highlights of the school year. SCHOOL LIFE IN the past, many definitions have been made in an attempt to capture for us the essence of School Life,” what significance it has for us, and most important, its role in shaping our future. But in dealing with such an intangible term let us first look back over our past year’s sojourn in Lawrence's halls and then see what all this activity and work means to us. September 6 was listed as the official opening day of Lawrence High School, and yet many days before that, sounds of furious struggle and commotion could be heard coming from Horn Stadium. A chance visitor seeking the cause of the tumult would have been told that Ted Ciamillo was preparing his charges for a banner year in football, something which was borne out in the final season's standings. However, for most of us, September 6 dawned bright and clear, and we returned for the first day of school. We welcomed to Lawrence that day an incoming group of students, our new Freshman class. In the auditorium, the procedures Signature, plea.’e. Competition for Paris. Open School Day—Biology Class. LEFT SIDE— Senior Play rehearsal. Lawrencians meeting the deadline.

Look at the girl, not the camera. and regulations of High School students were explained to them and some of their perennial freshman difficulties were smoothed out by the everpresent Marshals. From that first day of readjustment, getting up at 7:30 or thereabouts, and remembering to bring lunch, the tempo of daily school routine took on an ever-increasing momentum. The ordinary going and coming in the halls increased as more clubs were reorganized and hopeful students tried out for teams. The bewildered under classmen were made a little less confused about the state of affairs when the first issue of the Mental Pabulum went on sale, revealing to them many interesting things that happen in other phases of the student life. Smooth talking Lawrencian salesmen covered the home rooms with an eagle eye for loose dollar bills good for a deposit. By the time that the cool, brisk autumn days of October had arrived, the machinery of the school, both students and faculty, was running smoothly. There were daily sessions of tennis on the courts, and the charming misses on the cheering squad were practicing their T-E-A-M's before each of the scheduled football games. Long hours of summer practice resulted in the Golden Tornadoes' sound trouncing of many powerful teams to the accompaniment of Mr. Jones' Lawrence Band which kept morale soaring at crucial moments when all seemed lost. The music and complicated mass formations helped to make it an exciting event even on the rare times when we lost. Amidst all of the interminable activity connected with school, the more serious aspect of world events suddenly made itself evident to all students. Drills in preparation for an unhoped for, but possible, atomic air raid took place many times throughout the Fall and continued into the What a mess! 100 The music goes round and round. We'll get it. Winter—causing many of us to think more seriously of ourselves in relationship to our country as a whole, to resolve to try to become better citizens, and to follow the important events in America more closely and intelligently. Fall sped by very rapidly, leaving in some of us pangs of uncertainty after patiently fillc-d-out applications to college were mailed away. There was a bright interlude in October of sparkling entertainment as Miss Garver's mixed chorus presented excerpts from Showboat, and in the dramatic field, our Buskins held their 20th Annual Tournament in mid-November presenting in the three short plays an imaginative drama, a rollicking comedy, and an unusual modern dramatic selection which the audience enjoyed. During the latter part of the Fall, the Seniors were very busy—after electing their class officers, they began to raise funds for the year's expenses by selling magazine subscriptions in a successful community-wide drive. In the first assembly of its kind at Lawrence, letters were awarded to our football stalwarts for their fine performances, and in another unusual assembly, the Home Economics Department staged a fashion show for Lawrence girls. Our models were well received by the audience and offered strong competition to their professional counterparts. Winter came along, bringing with it not much snow but a rare show of holiday spirits. The mixed chorus presented a Christmas program of carols and songs appropriate to the joyful season— and students went home to a vacation marked by a successful night game. Upon our return to school, we found ourselves at the beginning of the basketball season with a team of almost all newcomers who proceeded to make a name for themselves by finally beating Lawrence's traditional rival—Woodmc-re. Beset by many doubts and difficulties caused by the uncertain world situation, upper classmen were given some sound advice concerning their future in an informative and helpful talk on college and its related problems by the President Sub-Deb preparing for Fashion Show. A scene from Buskin Tournament. 101 of Hofstra College. February brought a multitude of new events. Club pictures for the Lawrencian were taken, tryouts for the Senior Play were held, and an imposing cremony, in which probationary members of the Honor Society were inducted, took place in the auditorium in an assembly for Freshmen and Sophomores. Honor Society speakers told the lower classmen the standards, ideals, and the origin of Lawrence's chapter of this organization. April breezed in with the long awaited event taking place. The cast of seniors who had worked hard and zealously finally appeared in the hit Senior Play, Remember the Day.” On April 18, the Seniors took over the school functions with smiles of confidence and ended the memorable Senior Day with remarks that, This teaching profession isn’t as easy as I thought.” Eagerly looking forward to the year’s end, time flew quickly and before we knew it June Night, the long awaited evening, had arrived. Lawren-cians will always remember the thrilled surprise on the faces of award winners. The evening was a solemn and exciting occasion. The beautiful vocal background of the Mixed Chorus helped to make the event a lasting impression on all students. Months of preparation and hard work with Mrs. Hicks’ assistance showed results one bright A Marshal escorts a group of Freshmen to their homeroom. Morale raisers in formation. Sick Ward, L. H. S. 102 day. Speculation and curiosity increased the excitement attending the distribution of the Law-rencian year book. Seniors waited to find out whether they, themselves, were voted Senior Celebs, and the entire school body waited to see itself mirrored on its pages. The yearbook’s theme, service, was finally revealed to the school, and the way in which the book was received showed that another book in the line of outstanding Lawrencians had made its place in the hearts and memories of Lawrence students. At the end of June, 1951, the realization of four years of work in Lawrence was fulfilled. Graduation and the Senior Prom, words spoken of reverently by us in grammar school and in high school as far-off goals, and a milestone in all of our lives took place. The feeling of being students in Lawrence High School made us quite prepared to face life in the harsh world out of school. It filled our thoughts with deep appreciation to Lawrence, the school, and the faculty for what they have done for us. This, then, was a year in Lawrence. On paper it may, to an outsider, look cold and outdated, but for us who have graduated and for you who will graduate one day from Lawrence, this is School Life” whose meaning lies in its lasting effect in some way upon everyone of us.

RESEARCH on why students leave their studies for work, and on the lifetime careers of graduates has brought to many schools a realization of the gap that exists between school and life itself. Educators have discovered that a pupil must be taught not only to solve theoretical problems and to speak in another tongue, but also to apply this learning to life itself. In view of this, Lawrence High School has met the demanding challenge. In the essence of its vocational department, Lawrence aims to help pupils discover and develop their powers for service through programs in the school itself. Lawrence has connected students' work with the many educational standards and qualifications in the rough and tough economic world—a world in which a student graduating into a job often finds himself unprepared. Beginning with the simpler forms of manual training and progressing to much more difficult fields, our school’s vocational department successfully guides hopeful students into definite fields in industry and commerce. In doing this, it has become a basic and vital part of a school system. Under the guiding hand of Mr. George Keller, the department’s head, the program of the vocational department is very flexible, and the courses offered can be applied to a great many fields. The department is co-ordinated into five main divisions which cover basically almost any field in ordinary industry allowing the student to study 104 each of these in time, and then for the remainder of his stay in school to concentrate on the one or more that he intends to follow through after graduation. One of these, the Auto Mechanics section, turns out the finished product of a skilled, dexterous auto mechanic, from the raw material of the incoming untrained pupil. The experts-to-be in this field are given, after thorough instruction, actual autos that they may work on. Often on a sunny spring day one can catch sight of several students swarming over the insides of some willing pupil's car, practicing their skill on the gears, the transmission, the batteries, or even dismantling the motor itself. All in all, the auto mechanics department turns out a capable and qualified mechanic. To fill the country's vast need of skilled labor in these days of industrial expansion, the boys in the Machine Shop are taught by actual usage how to work with many different complicated instruments. They practice using lathes, shapers, drill presses, milling machines, and the micrometers and vernier calipers which are very necessary in precision work. The work that the boys do here is as difficult as that in actual factories, leaving them well prepared for entrance into this field. ''What's the amp reading of this coil? What's the voltmeter reading of that one? An ordinary person hearing that could only shrug and say that that's only one more field of which he knows nothing. But the expert electricians in the Elec- Theory put to practice. Budding craftsman. trical Shop are quite familiar with these terms. The boys in this shop learn not only the theory behind the use of electricity, but also the practical effects in working on house wiring, actual electrical systems and the assembling and repairing of electric appliances. The Sheet Metal and Welding department follows the line of the previous ones in the actual use of an acetylene torch and other industrial tools in metal forming and joining, and in riveting and welding. The students are given many actual machines and equipment on which to work. This work gains in importance today more than ever, since the recent expansion of industry for defense efforts. The three staples in life are food, clothing, and shelter, and to provide for one of these, shelter. The last of the five departments, but not the least, trains those interested in the field. The boys of the Building Trades Department, which unlike the others, work in wood, follow plans and build houses on small scale, or work on parts of houses at actual size. Many skillful products of a student's labor have caused cries of admiration from gazc-rs-on. With the excellent vocational background that a student may acquire, and the inclusive related academic course which is part of this background, it is easy to see how many excellent craftsmen and workers, well on their way to great proficiency in their fields, are being turned out by Lawrence’s vocational department. 105 One or two tumps? We'll sew a fine seam. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT ONE of the many strong features of Lawrence High's curricula is the excellent Home Economics Department. Miss Sloane, as well as being in charge of the school cafeteria, heads the department while Mrs. De Mott is in charge of clothing and Miss Donahue food. The purpose of the Home Economics Department is not only to teach young women aptness in sewing and culinary arts, but also to give them a better background for careers as wives and mothers. This training includes the care of children, knowledge of home management, home nursing, and the art of interior decoration. All these courses in their reference to the home, influence the girls and help them attain more integrated personalities and clearer aspects of their duties as future wives and mothers. Since 1936 when the new Lawrence High School was first opened, people have complimented the excellent modern design and conveniences of the Home Economics Department. There are a variety of rooms in which the girls' studies are conducted. Miss Donahue's department has a spacious kitchen with sections for small numbers of girls to work comfortably and to prepare balanced meals. Then there is an excellently planned sewing room con- Afternoon Tea Party. 106 taining the most modern sewing equipment. Here, under the supervision of Mrs. De Mott, the girls are taught design and sewing skills which they use to good advantage in making many of their own clothes. Fashion shows are given to help encourage the girls to select proper wardrobes. One of the most outstanding features of the department is the apartment which includes a living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Here the girls are able to perform first hand all the good housekeeping tasks they have been taught. The living room of the apartment, with its homelike atmosphere, serves as a gathering place for the girls and their instructors to speak of the problems confronting young women today. Here also the Sub-Deb Club meets under the sponsorship of Miss Sloane. Here the Sub-Debs often entertain faculty members at breakfast. The Home Economics Department in Lawrence High is indeed a wonderful background for all the young women who benefit by its courses. Set for medium heat. Dreaming of the cake to be. K. P. Duly. 107 SCHOOL STAFF HAVE you ever seen a great complex machine in a factory? If you have, you must have realized that the first thing that caught your eye was the product that was being made. Then you saw the outer parts of the mechanical laborer, the body of the machine. But underneath that outer layer was a system of gears, cogs, axles, and rods that made the whole complicated mass work smoothly. These were the unseen parts of the working contrivance—the parts without which the whole thing could not go—and thus it is with Lawrence High School. Underneath the outer shell that comprises the entire school, there is a system which enables the machine that is Lawrence to turn out its finished product of a fine student. This system, our School Staff, is Lawrence High School's nerve center and its coordinating unit. Without it, we would be like a body without a head. Our school staff puts school rules and regulations into effect, regulates daily conduct, and besides this, it takes care of the physical aspect of our building: keeping it clean, feeding its students, providing guidance for those in need of it, and making school routine easier and more enjoyable for all of us. One student forgot his excuse for lateness; another has a headache and would like an excuse to go home—follow these and it would lead you to the principal's office. In this room Mrs. Jane Purdy, Miss Beryl Barbuti, and Miss Dorothy Stone, whom we have all come in contact with at one time or another, manage very well in keep- Mrs. Helen McGinn, Mrs. Regina Doughty, Mrs. Kathryn Koppe. First row—Mrs. Jane Purdy, Mrs. Ruth Ehrhardt, Miss Beryl Marbuti. Second row—Miss Dorothy Stone. ing all the dozens of difficulties that enter the office in hand. They keep school records straight, handle the daily late-comers and phone calls. At times they get lunches to students who have forgotten them. Next door on the right is the Guidance Department and during study hall periods Seniors and under classmen visit this room to arrange their programs or to discuss college entrance possibilities. Receiving all these, getting them set and in line to speak to the guidance department heads is Mrs. Ruth Ehrhardt. She gets college applications filled out, fixes school programs, and saves many puzzled pupils from difficulties. S+.aV 108 Doing much to make Lawrence High School the outstanding school that it is in the minds of all of us, arc the ladies in the Superintendent's office. Mrs. Kathryn Koppe, Mrs. Regina Doughty, and Mrs. Helen McGinn all work in the office of the Superintendent of Schools. Only those students who obtain working papers are likely to have met these women. For theirs is a district responsibility. First row—Mazza, Hicks, Travers, Buddy. Second row— Schreiber, Brown, Molls, Lyden, Baxter, Player. Upholding the high standards of cleanliness in our school, and keeping Lawrence High School looking spic and span, our Custodians do a fine job, under the supervision of the Head Custodians Mr. Chris Schreiber and Mr. Cono Mazza. A task most likely more difficult and demanding than that of the staff of the most elite restaurant in the world of society is that of our own cafeteria workers. For as many as there are students and teachers in Lawrence, then there are as many different tastes and appetites. Catering to the appetites of hungry pupils and faculty, they succeed under the direction of our supervisor, Miss Sloane. One other member of all the various parts that make Lawrence's machinery run smoothly is Mrs. Lydia Grady who is always around to give assistance or advice to any young miss who is in need of it. All of the aforementioned make up Lawrence High School's School Staff. In conclusion there is a phrase that goes like this, The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. Well in Lawrence the whole school is a fine and good one because each and every separate unit that makes up the whole is of the same high calibre.

Thus I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the entire staff whose service has been so effective in the production of the 1951 Lawrencian. Special acknowledgment is due to Reva Hicks, who has deciphered our hieroglyphics and typed our copy for the printer. To our faculty adviser, Mrs. Hazel C. Hicks, for her help and interest I am very grateful. Patricia L. Hensler Editor-in-Chief Since advertising is a vital part of any publication, it was necessary for us to ask the business men of the village, our parents and friends to assist us. This they did most generously and we wish to express to them our sincere thanks. Through their kindness our book is made possible. Barbara Gross Business Manager Robert Abrams Advertising Manager As Circulation Manager of the 1951 Lawrencian, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work done by the entire Circulation Staff.
