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

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
