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

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

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.
