SENIOR CLASS AS the highest officers of the S. S. LAWRENCE we, the Class of 1952, have finally attained the title, Seniors. For three long years, we worked hard, and the aye, aye, sirs, are pleasant to our ears. After overcoming the usual Freshman difficulties, we were fortunate to elect competent class officers: James Penny, President; Roy Mes-serole, Vice-President; Barbara Natalie, Secretary; and Daniel Semel, Treasurer. With Mr. Donald Clark as Faculty Adviser, we maintained a high scholastic average, and were well-represented in extra-curricular activities. As Sopho- ment of selecting class jewelry, and our pride in it? That year, we chose as class officers: Ralph Mazza, President; Douglas Lowen, Vice-President; Donald Cardea, Secretary; Jean Touroff, Treasurer; Mr. James Simmonds, Faculty Adviser. At the Junior Prom, beautiful decorations transformed the L. H. S. gymnasium into a lovely ballroom, and the big event was a memorable occasion for all of us who attended. 1951! The wheel of the S. S. LAWRENCE was to be piloted by us! In the midst of selling magazine subscriptions for class funds, and applying OFFICERS Seated—Mr. Page. Standing—Cardea, Pinnola, Cohan, Frommer. mores, we established ourselves as loyal Law-rencians, and in order to carry out the official duties of the class, we elected: Nicholas Dad-dona, President; Ralph Mazza, Vice-President; Donald Cardea, Secretary; Robert D. Abrams, Treasurer; Mr. Walter Kretz, Faculty Adviser. By participating in school athletics, and clubs, we gained a real sense of belonging, and showed our enthusiasm for Lawrence High, with great school spirit. In September, 1950, our determined crew entered Lawrence with the happy realization that they were upperclassmen. Immediately, we began to command respect as mates of the ship. Who can forget the excite- to college, we elected: Mr. Page, Adviser, and George Cohan, Donald Cardea, Madeline Pinnola, and Rita Frommer, as the four officers, respectively. We eagerly planned Lawrencian, Senior Day, and the Senior Play. Like true sailors, we braved the College Boards, and the Senior theme. And, then can we ever forget the gayety and nostalgia of the Senior Prom? The many memories of our high school years are never to be forgotten. With the excellent background which we have received here, we, like seasoned officers of any ship, are able to face a very uncertain future in a calm, mature manner. 18
