MERRIAM Faculty Adviser 0 1 A N PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL, LAWRENCE, NEW YORK o r ew o r 9 THIS year’s Lawrencian presents in words and pictures an image of Lawrence High School as interpreted by the students who are now leaving her. We envision our school as a glittering, bustling moving-picture studio. Our teachers are patient and understanding directors. Our underclassmen are understudies, rehearsing for the roles which we will soon vacate. We the seniors are the all-star cast of this mighty cinema production! The premiere, as well as the finale, of this great extravaganza, four years in the making, will be graduation night, that night which is both an end and a beginning. You are our critics. We trust you will enjoy the show as much as we have enjoyed its production! The actors are waiting anxiously, amidst make-up, costumes, and scenery; the scene is set; all is quiet; the curtain is about to rise. Lights! Camera!

EMMA B. HORN has brought to her position as Assistant Guidance Director a keen sense of the worth of the individual student and an intense interest in his welfare, in and out of school. She has assisted many a senior to make an effective personal transition to adult life, and has welcomed many a freshman into our midst with encouragement and understanding. Under her supervision, the Marshals have guided incoming “frosh” each year into the high-school way of life. In acknowledging our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Horn for all she has done for us, may we wish her every happiness in the years ahead. It is with great pleasure that the Class of 1953 dedicates this Lawrencian to Miss Ellsworth and Mrs. Horn, in respectful and grateful recognition of their contribution to the youth of our community. MISS GRACE ELLSWORTH has been in charge of dramatic arts at Lawrence for many years. Her devotion to the art of the theater has been evident in all her dealings with hundreds of students of speech, personality, and dramatics. She has brought to our school a touch of Broadway, an ever-present enthusiasm for effective speech, and a passion for perfection in her direction of the Senior Play and the Buskin Tournament, the major annual productions. In expressing our gratitude to Miss Ellsworth for her years of service to our school, may we extend to her our sincerest best wishes for future happiness. First row—Mr. Reilly, Mr. Eldred, Chairman of the Board, Dr. Vivona. Second row—Mr. Froin, Mr. Lazrus. Board of Education OJR Board of Education of District 15, Town of Hempstead, consists of five prominent men who are elected by their fellow citizens to manage affairs dealing with education in our school district. As a committee, they constitute the supreme governing authority which deals with all matters relating to our educational system. The Board of Education gives much time and energy so that we may have an efficient school and the mechanism of our educational system may function smoothly. The people of this school district have exercised great discretion in selecting the five capable men pictured above. Even though the members of the Board may not be known personally to all students of Lawrence, these men work behind the scenes to make sure the taxpayer s dollar is spent in the best possible way for the education of the youth of our community. Although pressed by other duties, these men have given liberally of their time, thought, and effort that the business of our school district may be conducted effectively. 8 “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself, Ralph Waldo Emerson. We all learn this sooner or later. More often than not we learn it after frightened efforts to escape our problems and the responsibilities that accompany them. The effort may be wishful thinking, refusal to face a particular situation, or an attempt to transfer responsibilities to some one else. Of course, we never do escape. It is necessary to rely on ourselves. It is necessary to learn the truth of great moral principles, and to apply it to our living. It is necessary to have purpose and work toward the achievement of it. These things bring us peace. When we bring ourselves we bring it to others. This seems to me to be a desirable end to which we may dedicate ourselves. Mr. Dodd Superintendent of Schools Administration Mr. Boschert Assistant to the Superintendent Your graduation from high school is not an end so much as it is a beginning. No matter what your future plans may be the most sheltered phase of your life, has been completed; you will now find yourselves increasingly dependent upon your own resources. It has been the aim of those who have been privileged to have a part in the first formative years of your life to help you discover and develop your working skills, longtime recreational interests, an awareness of values, and loyalty and a sense of obligation to a free society. May your lives prove the fulfillment of these aims. 9 Mr. MaHood Principal Some of you Seniors are going to accept positions immediately. Others plan to enter the service of our country. Still others plan to continue schooling. Whatever your plans, I hope that you have the confidence that comes from having done your best while in high school. If you have, you can look forward to future achievements and recognition. On the other hand, if you have not always given of your best here, there may yet be time. Men and women who always give that best seldom complain of bad breaks. They create good ones. Good Luck! Miss Tefft Assistant Principal It is my hope that your high school education has helped to develop your capacity to cope with change and to get along with others; that you have acquired better skills to meet problems, frustrations and obstacles. Each of you should review your high school years giving careful thought to your successes and failures. You should resolve to strive for perfection in things that you attempt not just to get by. Ask yourself how well you measure up in self-reliance, cooperation, faith, tolerance, and friendship, some of the qualifications for good citizenship. My wish for each of you is that you establish a worthy goal and attain happiness and satisfaction in striving for it. 10 FRANK CLARKSON Vocational B.S.

As the curtain rose on Act I, the cast elected its class officers; Joe DeVito, president; Gene Panariello, vice-president; John Teramo, secretary; Gary Bellow, treasurer, and Mr. Jones as faculty advisor. Thrilled by the wonderful notices we got, we launched into our sophomore year with great school spirit. This year we elected again: Joe DeVito, president; and Gene Pa-rariello, vice-president; William Dent, secre- Soon the curtain will descend on our performance at Lawrence High School. We have now reached stardom and all agree that this, the fourth act, is the best one. Our senior officers have fulfilled a tremendous role. We, the cast, wholeheartedly applaud: Gary Bellow, president; Barbara Barnett, vice-president; Joe DeVito, secretary; Richard Greenberg, treasurer, with an encore to Mr. Glenday who has helped us through our trials and tribulations. During this fourth act, the spotlight has shone on our great success in magazine sales. tary; Barbara Barnett, treasurer, and our favorite associate director, Mr. Jones. Now we were really upperclassman. Our star was rising toward fame. To add to the success of our junior year, we elected: Joe DeVito, president; Barbara Barnett, vice-president; Gary Bellow, secretary; Gene Paran-riello, treasurer and Mr. Glenday as our faculty advisor. Dues were collected and class jewelry was bought by everyone. Then came the highlights of Act III, “The Junior Prom.” The theme was Make Mine Manhattan.” This was an evening to remember. Senior Day, the Senior Play, the Prom, June Night, and the climax of our production— Graduation. How wonderful it is to look back on the tender memories of Lawrence High School to which all have contributed. As the Class of '53 goes out into the world we cannot forget the words of the immortal Shakespeare who said “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” If we work together now as we have in the past years, perhaps the class of '53 can make a small contribution toward producing a more peaceful woHd. 20 Honor Speakers Valedictorian This year, star billing is given to Gary Bellow with the remarkable average of 95.92 as the valedictorian of the Class of 1953. Gary has been a leader all through his high school years. He was secretary of his freshman class and treasurer of his junior class. He is now president of the senior class, president of Honor Society, a Marshall, and secretary of lota Hi-Y . . . but to most he is just Gary—friend to all . . . from freshman to senior. Third Honor Speaker Hard on the heels of the salutatorium is Lloyd Weinreb, Third Honor Speaker with an average of 94.50. Between his school work and being co-editor of the Mental Pab, president of the Hi-Y Area Council, a member of the Honor Society, Marshalls, and Varsity Club, Lloyd has had very little time for leisure. He has been indispensable at Lawrence, and is sure to go far in any field he chooses. Salutatorian The salutatorian of the 1953 senior class is Malcolm Mitchell with an average of 94.52. Malcolm is modest, reserved and highly respected here at Lawrence. Besides his scholastic achievements, he is a member of many clubs such as Honor Society, Marshalls, Buskins, and Forum. In addition Malcolm has been outstanding in the music department here at Lawrence, where everyone knows him for being a “terrific pianist and a member of the Senior Boys Quartet. 21 N I O R S ADAMS, MICHAEL . . .

JUST CAMERA SHY 46 Senior D Science instruction. year’s Senior Day was the best that | Lawrence High School has ever had. It will set a high standard for future years. . . . Success was achieved because every student and teacher in high school assumed his share of responsibility . . . especially every Senior. These words, spoken by Mr. MaHood, were heard by the senior class who looked proudly back on February 10, 1953, “their day. The day began with Gary Bellow, class president, acting as our principal. Treasurer Richard Greenberg and Secretary Joe DeVito capably took over the Guidance Department in their respective roles as Mr. Davison and Mrs. Horn. Unfortunately Barbara Barnett, vice-president, who was to be Miss Tefft, was ill and could not partake in the day's activities. All the seniors did their jobs so well and everything ran so smoothly that they themselves were surprised. Each department was run under the supervision of the department heads. Judy Feldman was in charge of the English Department, Norton Rosensweig ran the Science Department, Home Economics was run by Lois Antoinette It’s all Latin Notice the texture. a map. “That just don't look rightI” Miss DeVito rules. “Repeat after me.

At 2:30, underclassmen enviously watched seniors and juniors go to the auditorium for the presentation of the senior skit. Behind stage, authors, directors and actors were waiting nervously for everything to begin. Highlights of the show were “The Charleston,” done by Hilary Posnick and Tony Oliviero, a chorus of senior girls, and the Last Will and Testament, which mentioned many teachers and seniors. At the end bowling equipment was presented to Johnny Mollo as a token of the friendship felt for him. Thanks was given to Mr. Glenday, senior adviser, for all the work he did in helping prepare for the entire day. Thanks also should go to Mr. Daly, freshman adviser, who helped us with the skit. The Class of '53 will look back to Senior Day with the fondest memories. Poor Lawrence High. Professor Hess.

Curtain time! Everyone on stage! The air filled with excitement as the lights dimmed and the curtains rose. The seniors began to present their play, “Mary the Third.” It was a climax of the many weeks of hard work; lines had been memorized, stage directions learned, props built and costumes fitted. The play began with two Prologues, the first of which takes place in 1900. It found Mary the First awaiting her beau and husband to be. The second prologue involved the daughter of Mary the First. She was twenty years old and she too had the problem of choosing a husband. This popular flapper was courted by two handsome men. The main theme of the three act comedy revolved around Mary the Second’s daughter. She was an adventuresome, twenty-year-old of our day. Mary the Third was faced with the problem of choosing a mate also. She, like her mother, had two admirers. In order to discover which one she preferred she intended to spend a week with the two possibilities, Hal and Lynn. She was urged on in this scheme by her friends, Lettie and Max. Of course, the idea did not meet 50 Play with the approval of Mary's parents. Mary’s grandmother was even more shocked at the idea. She never stopped talking about when she was a young girl and how times had changed. Bob, Mary’s eighteen-year-old brother, also was dubious about her success of the planned outing, but he was too worried about his smashing the family car to offer much assistance. In addition to the family’s problems, they also had to stop discussing things in the open because they had a very nosey maid in their household. Mother attempted to cover up for the pranks of both her children which brought her into conflict with her strict-thinking husband. They had a big argument which caused their children to decide that they should get a divorce. Mother just about gave into such an idea. We extend our appreciation to Miss Ellsworth, the director, and the stage crew, prop men, and all who participated in the production. Preparing for the big moment.

Best Dressed Junior Class LATE in October, after becoming accustomed to their “upperclassmanship, the class of 1954 elected the teacher and pupils who would run its class activities. Mr. Donald Clark was chosen adviser and from the sixteen Home Room Representatives, the following officers were elected: President, Peter Eccles; Vice-President, Gail Wishbow; Secretary, Dominick Sorrentino; and Treasurer, Henry Donald. After collecting dues, the class ordered its jewelry and began quite early to plan its biggest event, the Junior Prom. The committee on arrangements, headed by Gail Wishbow, chose the Blue Notes to play, after making an extensive tour to hear the many local orchestras. The prom, based on an Hawaiian theme, was a huge success. Despite the cares of third year English, hydrogen sulphide, and the driving test, the juniors have managed to survive somehow. The capable leadership of Mr. Clark and the student officers, combined with the co-operation of every class member, gave the juniors a highly successful year and strong hopes for an outstanding senior year.

Never heard the word! Sophomore? Well now, that’s different.” This was the reaction as the class of ’55 nonchalantly entered Lawrence High on that inevitable September day. (Summer has to end sometime.) Feeling much older and wiser, the “sophs” got into the swing of things with Geometry props, Mendel's laws and Silas Marner. They also got to know a Roman chap named Caesar rather well, meeting him in Latin, English and History. In fact, the class motto might well be “Et tu brute!” In the early part of the year ballots were cast for class officers. Those deserving students elected were Co-presidents, Hugh Helfenstein and Charles Adams; Secretary, Arnold Beiles; and Treasurer, Anthony Carcattera. Mr. Walter Kretz was chosen as the class adviser. (What happened to the girls?) All “sophs” are bound to “come through” this year with colors flying high, or low as the case may be. However, they can all look down from lofty junior seats and say, ‘‘Sophomores. What’s that?” First row—Gumbs, De George, Blatt, Kaplan, Wescott, Di Mesquito, Gruber, Brandenberg, Lowe, Dritz, Pitter, McGough, Rosino, Rosino, Giordano, Rizzo, Hannon, Sanatora, Catalano.

Read all about the new addition to L. H. S.! On Sept. 3rd a large group of bewildered boys and girls stood outside the huge front doors awaiting the fatal moment. When they were finally admitted, the Marshalls ushered them into the auditorium where they heard the “do’s” and “don’ts” of L. H. S. It didn’t take long for the “frosh” to get into the swing of things. By October they had elected Mr. Dan Daly as class adviser; Peter Cimino, President; Terrance Farino, Vice-President; Wilbert Linto, Secretary; Herbert Hein, Treasurer. By the end of the first term, the newcomers had made themselves a part of many school organizations and were shouldering their new responsibilities with surprising nonchalance. The class of ’56 has many plans and ambitions, but these dreams can only be fulfilled by the co-operation of the class members. The Freshmen hope to uphold the traditions of L. H. S. which go hand and hand with its fine spirit. First row—Royal, Shotland, Rosenblum, Giles, Schwartz, Frankel, Barnett, Rupassi.

Your yearbook editors and managers have spent many hours planning and executing the cinema extravaganza which is this year’s Lawrencian. Iris Freedman, the editor-in-chief, chose the theme and began the dummy during the summer. In the early fall, Richard Greenberg, art editor, took over the dummy and spent long hours on page-layouts. With the aid and encouragement of Mr. Merriam, these two planned an ambitious book, replete with art work in accord with the cinema theme. Lois Anstendig, literary editor, handled all “copy” of the Lawrencian. This work included taking care of assigning, correcting, and editing the written articles which tell the story of this year at Lawrence. Under her direction, several editorial committees functioned to handle varying aspects of the school’s day-to-day life. Elinor Berman and Diane Tenzer undertook the task of giving individual attention to the senior write-ups. Giving ample coverage to the athletic activities of our school were Michael Sidel, boys’ sports, and Carol Graber, and Doris Outland, girls’ sports. School life editors, reviewing the highlights of the school year, were Joan Coombs, and Peter Axel. Extra-curricular activities were recorded by Barbara Wagner, Pat Kavanagh, Tony Dalsimer, and Claudia DeVito. Words are only half the story, however, for a yearbook is centered about the pictures which capture the essence of the school at work and play. The photography editor was Robert Sloat, who, assisted by Martin Doft and Martin Pitt, spent many a “free period” First row—Greenberg, Berman, Tenier, Graber, Anstendig, Mr. Merriam, Freedman, Shames, Lisena, Coombs, Sloat. Second row—Zeller, Cohn, Davidson, Doft, Ackerman, Pitt, Outland, Axel, Schoen, Dalsimer, Ans, Sidel, Wagner, Quaytman, DeVito, Kaplan. First row—Freedman, Mr. Merriam, Adviser; Ansten-dig. Second row — Sloat, Bernstein, Shames, Rieur, Greenberg, Kleinman. and after-school hour snapping individuals and groups of students in the classroom, gymnasium, and on the playing field. The art work was planned and carried out by Richard Greenberg. Many a night has “Richie” burned the lights in Mr. Pages art room until late, toiling over the page-spreads and film-stripping which highlights this year's Lawrencian. He deserves real recognition for his indefatigable labor, though we feel sure that for Richie it has still been a labor of love. Phyllis Shames assisted him with the art spots, as did several other art students. Adrienne Lisena spent hours typing up all the material. Without her work and effort, the Lawrencian could never have gone to press. The business staff was headed by Carol Bernstein, our indispensable bookkeeper and business manager. Richard Kleinman was advertising manager, heading up a large group of students who solicited “ads” for the Lawrencian. Mina Rieur took charge of the circulation department, assisted by thirty senior salesmen. With the invaluable help of the publisher, Mrs. Kelly, and the assistance and supervision of the faculty adviser, Mr. Merriam, the staff has endeavored to bring you a book we hope you will enjoy and treasure.

The Honor Society, composed of students whose scholarship, leadership, character, and service meet the requirements of its constitution, is foremost among Lawrencian activities. All through the years, since its inception, the Honor Society has undertaken numerous jobs with great efficiency. Among these are the pictures taken for the freshman records and General Aptitude test given to the seniors in March. The members also act as hosts and hostesses to guests of the school. A student must have attained at least an 85 per cent scholastic average to become a member. Not only must these students be scholastically inclined, but they must be ac- tive in extra-curricular activities and have participated in the leadership of the school. The L. H. S. student who is a member of the Honor Society is the epitome of the “all around excellence. One of the main highlights of the Honor Society is the induction ceremony which takes place on June Night. An inspiring program is held, during which the cornerstones of the society and its four guiding principles are recited. Under the supervision of Miss Mabel Leavitt, the Honor Society has chosen these people to be officers of the organization: President, Gary Bellow; Vice-President, Joan Coombs; Secretary, Doris Outland; Treasurer, Barbara Barnet; . 64 MARSHALS EARLY in the month of September familiar sounds are heard in the halls at Lawrence High from inquiring freshmen. Perhaps it is a good thing that freshmen sometimes get lost, for it gives the school Marshals something extra to do. Without the direction of these honor students, many “freshies would probably still be looking for their first class. The Marshals prove a Godsend to the poor wandering freshman in his first week, putting him “hep” to the intricacies of the locker combinations, and protecting him from evil seniors with their tales of fourth floors and elevators. The Marshals are students chosen not only for scholastic ability but also for personality, leadership, and adeptness at handling authority with discretion. These outstanding students not only help the freshmen get settled, but act as guides on different occasions, such as the P. T. A. meeting and various educational conventions. On Visitor’s Day the Marshals prove indispensable by directing perplexed parents to their children’s classrooms. At these meetings some Marshals act as guides and ushers in the school building, while others direct traffic in the parking area at the rear of the school. With the supervision of Mrs. Emma B. Horn, head of the Girl’s Guidance Department, the Marshals are headed by Barbara Barnett and Peter Axel. Distinguished by the Buff and Blue armbands, the Marshals are a symbol of the true spirit which is part of Lawrence High. First row—Tenzer, Sang, Schoen, Uhr, Silverblatt, Hamburg, Proscia, Feldman.

Celebrating its twenty-first year of publication, the “Pab has developed from a new venture in 1932 to an accomplished news service of which everyone can be proud. In addition to monthly eight or ten-page issues, a special one-page extra was issued to publicize the results of a mock presidential election. Mr. Eisenhower won as he subsequently did in November. Mrs. Madeline F. Denton, faculty adviser, was assisted by Co-editors, Marcia Sang and Lloyd Weinreb; Business Manager, Ronald Marks, and Circulation Manager, Fredi Slans. Performing camera tricks for the paper were Michael Koenig, Martin Berger and Ira Schneider. Ruth Finklestein and Norton Ro-sensweig handled girls' and boys' sports while Carolyn Kahn gathered social news, and Louise Drucker, alumni news. Behind the scenes, Peter Gallace was given credit for the “Pab’s” new look and Christopher Ryan and Joan Jacobs worked diligently typing and mailing. On the basis of senior balloting, “Above the Crowd” selects one senior boy and girl for each issue and describes in detail their virtues, accomplishments and future plans. Following the style of the popular “Inquiring Reporter, the “Pab” published a special column with photographs on the editorial page, along with the regular editorials, a cartoon, “Letters from the Editor's Desk and alumni news. “Out of the Hat gives an opportunity to anyone in school to have his or her picture in the Pab with an article similar to that of Above the Crowd.

Highlighting the feature contests of the year was the ‘‘Beautiful Baby” contests in which pictures of certain teachers as babies and clues to their identity were printed. The longer it took for all the names to be guessed, the more fabulous the prizes became. The Sports Department gave complete coverage to varsity, junior varsity, freshmen and intramural news, as well as columns of special interest. Climaxing “Pab’s” accomplishments, Advertising Manager, Ronald Marks, won a silver trophy signifying first place in the Empire Scholastic Press Association contest at its annual convention at Syracuse University. The Dean of the Journalism School topped this honor by writing Ronald a letter in which he stated that none approached his spectacular advertising. Requests for articles for publication on the “Pab’s” advertising methods came from Syracuse University and the National Education Association’s Scholastic Editor.

RS longa est et Tempus fugit.” In every school, there are many organizations that are interesting and outstanding. Everyone is anxious to join and be part of one of those groups. In Lawrence, an example of one of the outstanding organizations is the Buskins. They have a proud history which dates back twenty-three years to the time when Miss Grace W. Ellsworth founded this dramatic society. Its aims then, as well as now, were to look for the best in literature, production and character presentation. Keeping this in mind, the Buskins presented their 23rd annual Tournament, December 10, 1952. It consisted of three one act plays, a comedy, a tragedy, and a farce, a variety that has marked most of the Buskins' presentations. A love story is always welcome, so “Modern Day Courtship, a comedy of manners, concerned a glamorous girl and an amorous swain. This cameo of modern love took place in a June garden where each lover expressed his passion, one word at a time. The happy ending brought many laughs, and perhaps, brought back fond memories. As life is a mixture of laughter and tears, so must sadness and sorrow come in place of our happiness and gaiety. Tragedy appeared in “John Doe, an indictment against humanity. The setting was Limbo, the time, 68 Justice at last. Hereafter and the emotion, fear. There were several people waiting their turn to be admitted to heaven from a callous and indifferent world. Suddenly a man appeared on the scene whom they recognized as their tormentor on earth. He was John (Humanity) Doe. Seeking refuge from his sins, he attempted to enter Heaven, but was stopped by the others in Limbo who tried and convicted him for his crimes. As punishment, he was sent back to Earth to redeem himself and his fellow men. The theme of this play was “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” For the final, light touch, the Buskins gleefully presented their offering in farce-comedy, “Murder No Object. This play contained cops, robbers, gunshots, and surprisingly, society girls. When the curtains closed, and “all’s well that ends well proved true, the Buskins had done a tremendous job again. But the Buskins only then started to realize the true aims of their club. The preamble of the Buskin Constitution states these aims and the constitution itself is patterned after that of our Federal government. The Buskins are not too exclusive, for they welcome any student with talent to their ranks. In the Buskin Club, lighthearted activity goes on. Each year, the members attend a Broadway play in New York City, have parties, and keep up the feeling of good will and fellowship. The fascinating club history is bound into two books, where a multitude of articles, pictures of productions and members over a period of 23 years record the joys and griefs of the oldest and most successful club of Lawrence High School. The working crew. The outcast. 69 Suspense. Stairway to heaven. Bitter remembrance. “It's him, John Doe. Sweef and innocent. Moonlit night. As the curtains closed for the last time on our Tournament this year, they closed with them a part of the Buskins which gave the club its life blood, its body, and its character. There were tears on the faces of many of the cast as they watched the closing of the curtains usher out a great tradition in Lawrence High School. For, the Buskins realized that theirs was the last tournament to be produced and directed by their guide and men- tor, Miss Ellsworth. After spending twenty-three years with the Buskins, Miss Ellsworth is going to take her much-deserved rest at last. She is retiring at the end of our school year but she is not leaving us empty-handed. Miss Ellsworth bids the Buskins and Lawrence High School a fond farewell, but she leaves us a heritage of high ideals, a memory of worthwhile accomplishments, and the desire to “carry on” in the highest tradition of Art. 70 First row—Kramer, Brussel, Eccles, Miss Leavitt, Cohn, Cohen, Shames, Lipskin.

Miss Leavitt was their adviser. Latin Cohorts UNDER the guidance of Miss Leavitt, this 2nd year Latin Club discussed Caesar, his times, customs, and language. These discussions were made more interesting by the use of games. The officers were Arnold Beiles, President; Joan Englebart, Secretary, and Elaine Hollander, Treasurer.

Band UNDER the direction of Mr. Jones, the Lawrence High School band completed a traditionally successful season. The group added a note of festivity to local parades, school football games, and assembly programs. The band, led by Drum Major, Joe DeVito, had a very successful marching season. Before each game, the familiar “hi” greeted the opposing school, and during intermissions a variety of formations and music entertained the crowd. No band performance would have been complete without our high-stepping twirlers, whose snappy routines and vitality were a success. Senior Day, the Senior band members participated in the Senior Skit. The twirlers and band marched on Memorial Day. The band members competed with other schools for solo and ensemble ratings in the Spring Festival.

Orchestra THE orchestra, under the experienced direction of Mr. Arthur Jones, continued to grow this year in members and musical stature. Heading the list of well-known concerts performed this year were: “The Prometheus Overture” by Beethoven, Mozart’s ever popular “Eine Kleine Nachtmusick,” “Danse de la Fee Dragee” from the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tschaikovsky, and extracts from a symphony by Hayden. This year the orchestra played three con- certs and at graduation. The first two concerts were given early in March for the grade schools, an annual occurrence which is always highly successful. The third was presented May 23, to a full house of parents and friends. Mr. Jones was ably assisted by the following officers: Alfred Cohn, president; Martin Goldstein, vice-president; Arthur Axelrod, librarian; Emily Stile, secretary-treasurer.

This group gave a concert in November, sang in assembly for the Community Chest and the Christmas program, presented the operetta, “The Vagabond King,” sent some of its members to the All-State Chorus, and during Brotherhood Week sang at a Five Towns program. Miss Dorothy Garver, celebrating her tenth year at Lawrence, has given her students wonderful vocal training. In addition to her work with the chorus, Miss Garver formed a Senior Boys Quartet, consisting of Anthony Capabianco, Victor Muglia, Stanley Williams, and Malcolm Mitchell. We, of Lawrence, will never forget these boys and the wonderful entertainment they have provided. Some of the year’s pleasantest moments have been supplied by the Mixed Chorus, and an appreciative school extends its gratitude.

In developing their voices and preparing Chorus for the mixed chorus of Lawrence the freshmen have sung such favorites as “The Continental” and “Old Black Joe.” This group took a successful part in the fall concert. Sophomore Girls Glee Club FACED with a lack of boy singers, Miss Dorothy Garver formed this group of sophomore girls as a choral group. With noteworthy success the girls have conquered extremely difficult songs and presented them at the Fall and Christmas assembly programs. The girls have done much toward developing their voices and will fondly be remembered for all the wonderful work they have done in presenting their songs.

Pencil Pushers THE Lawrence High School Art Club is an active organization of students who are interested in art as a career or as an avocation. Most of the members have won prizes in art contests and all of the members have exhibited their art work at Hofstra College and the New York State Technical Institute in Farmingdale. The most interesting of Art Club activities is an annual Christmas party when graduate members return to tell of their advanced study in the field of art, or of their work as professional artists. An annual trip to the Greenwich Village art show, and meeting with professional artists are other highlights of the year. There are also many trips to museums and exhibits. The club has Mr. Page as adviser; Richard Greenberg, as president, and Dorothy Peck as secretary-treasurer. French Club AT the first bimonthly meeting of the French Club, the officers were elected and program committees formed. The meetings which were conducted entirely in French were held in the French room. The aim of the club is to promote an understanding of the French language and culture. They accomplish this by having both educational and entertaining meetings. Among other activities, there were pictures and slides shown and numerous tales told in French. The high point of the year was the full length French moving picture that was shown. The elected officers were Malcolm Mitchell, president; Rosalie Bomze, vice-president; Joan Coombs, secretary; and Marilyn Tu-gendhoft, treasurer. Miss Benson acted as club adviser.

Predominantly, this is in the form of showing movies to supplement regular classes. Training received in operating devices such as the tape recorder has also proved valuable to the teaching staff. Math THIS is one of the largest and most active extra-curricular groups in Lawrence High. The purpose of the club is to bring more enjoyment to math students, and to relate math to fields of work for later life. Officers are Gary Bellow, president; Peter Eccles, vice-president; Helene Fields, treas- Another function of this group is to act as announcers for the various inter-school sports activities which are held at Lawrence.

Twirlers Forum ONE of the most colorful groups in Lawrence High School is the twirlers. They are a group of 48 girls who put in a great deal of time and effort to give the school that intangible substance known as “school spirit.” Every day at fifth period, they work out their routines for twirling at the football games and other events. In order to do this, they also have practice sessions after school which are almost as long as those of the football team. After the football season, there is no rest for these girls as they prepare for their performances in the Spring Band Concert, and the All-State Festival Competition. Mr. Jones is in charge of the twirlers who perform with his band. Head Twirler Louise Ciamillo was ably assisted by eight co-cap-tains, Antoinette lannico, Nancy Proscia, Rose DeCicco, Geraldine DeCicco, Mary Ciaravalo, Carol Bullard, Patricia Graves, and Muriel Efron. THE Debating Club was formed to meet several needs. The most important of these include the need for learning to express one’s views, acquiring a knowledge of current subjects, developing the ability to speak in front of people, and having fun. In addition to holding panel discussions and debates among its own members, there was inter-school competition, which provided a keen interest for the members. With Mr. Leroy Pearson as adviser, Tony Dalsimer as president, Lloyd Weinreb as vice-president, Harold Shane as treasurer, and Fred Cohen as secretary, the club operated very smoothly and everyone enjoyed its activities. While there is no cheering section at the competitions, just as much feeling is worked up in a debate as there is on the basketball floor. The Debate Club is thinking of joining the National Forensic League in order to have competition on a bigger scale. — First row—Zenn, Kramer, Wagner, Guida, Weinberg, Sale, Bittan, Fisher, Randolph.

Red Cross Library Club THOSE nickels, dimes, and quarters that were collected from you in the fall by the home room representatives were divided among five projects. These projects were: Joan Coombs’s and Miss Garver’s music album, consisting of records of our school's music; Suzanne Friedman’s album of our community and high school life with pictures and written material of the activities of our community; our annual school quota of cookies; our twenty-five gift boxes; and the contents of our twenty-five Christmas stockings. Most of these contributions were sent to the Mineola Nassau County Chapter House to aid unfortunate people. The members of the Red Cross Club and their faculty adviser, Mrs. DeMott, hope that next year our school's enrollment in the Red Cross will be, as in previous years, one hundred per cent, and that our school will be able to give more to help war-torn and backward countries. THE Library Club consists of those girls who give up a free period to work in the Library. These girls, while doing a service for their school, are also learning about the library, an invaluable aid where reference books are concerned. The duties of these students are to check books out, put them back on the shelves, and help Miss Ice with the general operation of the Library. But it isn't “all work and no play for these girls, as they had two parties at Christmas and in the Spring. At these events, they entertained several faculty members, and everyone seemed to have enjoyed himself. The Library Club members have pins which serve as badges of service and duty, and the girls are proud of them. In the Fall, a meeting was held at which the student-librarians elected Lucy Donadio, President; Pat Kavanagh, Vice-President; and Claudia DeVito, Secretary-Treasurer. 79 First row — Goren, Weiner, Drucker, Levey.

Sub Debs, First Period THE Sub Deb Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Sloane, was organized to make Lawrencians more aware of their responsibilities to their home, school, and community. A discussion of the preparation of marriage was made quite interesting by the participation of the class itself. The group was able to have several “morning teas” with different teachers attending. One of the main teas held was the one during Christmas. Every period of the day was taken up by festive songs and laughter, of course, due to the coming Yuletide season. The club is headed by Lois Anstendig, president; Marcia Sang, vice-president; Meryl Seligson, secretary, and Joan Feldman, treasurer. The Sub Debs will be the first to agree that homemaking is a full time job. Sub Debs, THE members of Sub Debs III are senior girls who take a great interest in their future as homemakers. Mrs. DeMott’s third period class has enjoyed a very successful year. The highlights of this club’s activities have been the talks of several leaders of the community. These people, who represent different professions, and vocations, gave the girls an insight into the importance of the Third Period American mother. Sub Debs III elected Barbara Jacobs, president; Elinor Berman, secretary, and Jo Ann Groom, treasurer. The Sub Debs clubs have become very popular and the senior girls, who are members are very satisfied with the results. They have learned that even in these modern times, the value of hometraining is as necessary as it was in grandmother’s time. First row—Weinberg, Albert, Grubman, Peltz.

Speakers from different professions and walks of life gave talks which were much appreciated by these senior girls. Sub Debs VIII learned the true value of homemaking, putting into practice the things they have learned. Sub Debs are very pleased with their clubs and feel that they have gained a great deal by belonging. Officers were Mary Ciaravolo, president; Gerry De Cicco, vice president; Joan Part-land, secretary; and Dot Dole, treasurer. Junior Miss ON the first Friday of every month, Junior Miss, a homemaking club, can be found working on some useful project. They have made albums for the St. Albans Naval Hospital and discussions have been held the parties they have given at Christmas time and in the late Spring. They have learned to work well together and this task is important in their adult lives. The members of the Junior Miss club concerning the future role of these girls as wives and mothers. Each member has benefited by these talks and Mrs. DeMott has elected Alice Rizzo, president; Alma Sontog, vice-president; Nancy Davis, secretary; and Ernestine Tripodi, treasurer.

The agenda for the year 1952-1953 contained several discussions, at which members of the faculty spoke to the girls. A great deal was gained from these talks, as the importance of the family and the home in our American civilization was stressed. The girls learned to realize the true value of their future roles as wives and mothers. Among the highlights of the year was the successful Christmas and cone-biding parties. At the helm of this homemaking organization were Frances Oliveri, president; Alvira Mauro, vice-president; Marie Panichi, secretary, and Marie Kittleson, treasurer. Mrs. DeMott served as the club faculty adviser, and the girls are grateful for her excellent guidance. Miss America UNDER the guidance of Mrs. DeMott, the members of Miss America enjoyed a very successful year, learning how to run their future homes. As a supplement to these interesting discussions, they had the pleasure of having several faculty members speak to them on a variety of subjects. This club gave the girls a basic knowledge of their positions as future homemakers. This knowledge is very important because the home is the foundation of our civilization. The members of Miss America realize what a big responsibility homemaking is, and they are better able to assume it. The members of Miss America held several parties which were very successful. The officers were Marie Teramo, president; Joan Greenberg, vice-president; Evelyn Esposito, secretary, and Lucy Donadio, treasurer. 82 First row—Schwarz, Tugendhaft, Inkeles, Mr. Alexander, MaHood, Anstendig, Feldman.

With the encouragement and assistance of the adviser, Mr. Alexander, the club got along very nicely. The Biology Club has several activities. They make dissections of preserved animals, and they mate and watch the growing of hamsters. They maintain tropical fish and ant colonies. Also included in the club are terraniums, which include snakes, salamanders, etc. In order to become a member of the Biology Club, one must have a 90-or-above average in Biology class. This year thirteen students were chosen to represent this club, and David Inkeles was made President. The meetings were held every other Tuesday. Secretarial Club UNDER the supervision of Mrs. Jack the members of the Secretarial Club have had a very enjoyable and successful year. Their trip to New York, which proved to be a wonderful experience, contributed to increase their knowledge of the business world. All members of the club also took part in the profitable project of selling Lawrence High School banner stickers. The meetings of the Secretarial Club were held once every month. The girls devoted their first meeting to choosing their officers. They were Claudia DeVito, president; Adrienne Lisena, vice-president; Nancy Proscia, treasurer; Frances Ruggeri, secretary. The girls learned the many phases of secretarial practice which will enable them to meet the requirements of their positions as secretaries when they graduate from high school and enter the business world. 83 First row — Marcus, Elias, Freund, Nechemias, Kahn, Ger-stein, Shames, Karpel, Kibe!, Tillman, Axel.

English WITH Miss Nelle Kelley as adviser, this relatively young organization has been indulging in a wide variety of activities. These have included the presentations of simple plays, literary discusisons, discussions of political figures, and attendance at the Shakesperean presentation at Adelphi. Vocabularies have been greatly improved by the use of quizzes, games, and other special aids. Club The club elected Larry Chessan as president; Peter Eccles as vice-president; Lorraine Meister as secretary; and Tony Dalsimer as treasurer this fall, and also set up an active program committee.

BENEFITTING the community, the school, its members, and all associated with it, the Hi-Y organization this year successfully fulfilled, in a most commendable manner, the provisions of its pledge, “To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of character.” To start the Hi-Y campaign for new members, Mr. Charles Rolfe, Secretary of the Five Towns Y.M.C.A., was guest speaker at one of our assembly programs. Mr. Rolfe, better known as “Chuck,” explained the advan- tages of the “Y” and told of the many activities which take place there. He invited all interested students to attend an open meeting which was held soon afterwards. As a result of this meeting, a new club was formed.

In preparation for this event, an Area Assembly was conducted at the Hempstead Courthouse. At this meeting the delegates from all the Long Island chapters met and discussed the bills which were to be sent to Albany. Then, on a cold morning, December 12th, the delegates made their way to Albany on a seven hour bus trip. There, the delegates attended the Hi-Y Congress, held in the State Capitol, and met representatives from Hi-Y clubs all over the state. Each delegate was the sponsor of a bill on local or state improvements. Many of the bills brought up by our twelve delegates, were passed. This inspiring expe- rience clarifies the workings of the state government for all who attended. Back at the “Y house, different activities kept the kids “buzzing like bees. For instance, the boys formed a table tennis and basketball league, playing each other on week nights. The girls undertook several projects; such as selling stationery, little animals and cosmetics. If one passed the Hi-Y house on a Friday or a Saturday night, he saw a blaze of lights and merry-making girls and boys at a party, square dance or after-game canteen. Several large dances were held this year by Epsilon-lota and Alcar, the former being at the Lawrence Public School's gym and the latter be- EPSILON Hl-Y THETA OMEGA First row—Feinberg, Mukamal, Karpel, Orda, Zeller, Stein, Shotland.

During the fall, the Area Council, composed of all the officers of the sixteen clubs, belonging to the Lawrence and Woodmere-Hewlett Chapters, held an officers’ clinic to help solve the various problems that had arisen. In March, the Council held an open meeting for the parents so that they could learn why students are constantly down at the “Y” house. In order that the students might clarify their problems, we organized the Junior Board Members. During the spring season the Hi-Y had its annual carnival.

The sound of a punted pigskin echoing and reechoing through the atmosphere. The T-E-A-M of the cheerleaders! The brassy blare of the band. And all the other vague, reminiscent moods of the season opening. Win or lose, do or die, it's the one —and only—king of sports, Football! Once again Lawrence's Golden Tornadoes began practice with high hopes for a successful season. Under the fine tutelage of head-coach Ted Ciamillo and his assistants, Walter Kretz and Jim Pollard, Lawrence opened with seven lettermen returning to the varsity. Beginning the season at Mineola, Lawrence suffered a heartbreaking 8-6 loss, as Mineola came from behind to score a touchdown in the last quarter. The next week Lawrence opened at home against Hempstead's Tigers. Again Lawrence was edged when a first-period fumble re- sulted in the deciding score, both teams scoring in the third period, with Toby Gumbs and Dom Sorrentino doing the bulk of the carrying. Lawrence next upset unbeaten Baldwin, 6- 0, in a bruising battle. The only score of 22 yards from Andrino to Filler, who ran 45 yards for the score. In another close contest, Lawrence again edged a victory, this time over Glen Cove 7- 6. Undismayed by Freeport’s undefeated record, and led by Leonetti, who crashed off tackle for three touchdowns, Lawrence easily downed the Red Devils. The Buff and Blue line, led by Cafasso, Chinman, and Giordano, played a magnificent game, as they smashed through continually. On November first, Lawrence traveled to North Bellmore, hoping to upset the undefeated league leaders, Mepham.

The following week, led by Leonetti's five touchdowns, Lawrence romped to a 41-7 victory over its big rival, Central. Sewanhaka High proved to be a “mudder” as it sloshed its way to a 13-0 season finale over Lawrence. At season's end, Pat Cafasso, an outstanding guard and mainstay all season, was elected all-scholastic for Nassau County. Other standouts during the season were Toby Gumbs, Frank Leonetti, and Joel Chinman. Our congratulations to coaches and team on a very satisfactory season. The coach with his captains. Going for a touchdown. Galloping dynamite.

Have no fear, it was only one of the stormy practice sessions of Lawrence’s Buff and Blue basketball teams. With such veterans as Richie Brightman, Paul Kasper, and Robert Leonard returning to the team, the nucleus of a good squad was made. Opening the season at Woodmere, Lawrence suffered their first loss as they prepared for the difficult league schedule that lay ahead. In the following weeks, the “Buff and Blue” defeated Long Beach and East Rock-away. Will he make it? The long stretch. 92 First row—Williams, Morelli, Kcanna, Filler, Reisert, Chinman.

Review Nineteen Fifty-three In the first league game, Lawrence went down to defeat at the hands of Hempstead High’s Tigers. Lawrence was led by Richie Brightman, who proved to be the man to watch because of his outstanding plays in previous games. The following week, however, Lawrence evened its league record by defeating the Freeport Devils by a score of 69 to 43. Although Brightman once again led the individual scores, all-around teamwork and fine playing insured the win. After the Christmas holidays, Lawrence returned to its home court and avenged an earlier defeat by beating Woodmere. In the following weeks, Lawrence lost its pre-season form as it suffered successive losses to Sewananka and Baldwin. When Lawrence was host to Mepham, however, the defending league champions were unable to break the zone defense set up by the Tornadoes and went down in defeat in one of the greatest upsets of the year. Lawrence lost its next game to Valley Stream but defeated Freeport for the second time. The Lawrence basketball squad still had a slight chance of top honors when the Buff and Blue returned to the home court for one of the most exciting games of the year. Lawrence came from behind to defeat Sewana-haka in the last few seconds of the game. Paul Kasper and Fred Reisert led the way as the entire team aggressively sealed the victory. The team then traveled to Baldwin from the game that would decide Lawrence’s future as well as the league scoring race between Bob Malone and Richie Brightman. Lawrence came within five points of Baldwin. The latter, however, proved too much for our boys. We finished the season with losses to Hempstead and Valley Stream, and a defeat of Mehpam. Coach Harry Nathanson, his assistant Jack Martilotta, and the squad rate a long cheer for a most satisfying season. 93 First row—Kaplan, Chinman, Bomzc, Sellers, Smith, Newman, Cooper, Raimondi, Donald, Markowitz. Second row—Greenblatt, Ankies, Reeves, Walcher, Eckhardt, Knox, R. Miller, Groom, Orenstesn, Schoendorf, Glass. Third row—McGough, Saxe, Kiviat, Travis, Keanna, Mr. Whitman, Kasper, Gumbs, Miller, Weiss, Reisert, Callwood. Track AS usual the middle of March marked the beginning of another Lawrence High School track season. Coaches, Frank Whitman and Jack Martilotta had high hopes for a championship team due to the large turnout of boys for the first practice. This year’s team was composed of many of last year’s veterans however, there was a large turnout of new boys. Leading the pole vaulters this year was Richard Wicks, who showed great promise last year. Many of last year's sprinters and hurdlers also are back this year, giving promise of a championship. Heading the distance runners was Toby Gumbs, a crack 440 man. There were also new additions in the half mile and one mile. The 1953 track team faced a difficult schedule opening April 30, at Woodmere. Due to the fine spirit and coaching of the team, we of Lawrence proudly look back on the 1953 track team. First row—Rosenstein, Shapiro, Ruggeri, Player, Cole, Filler, Sorrentino, M. Basile, Check. Second row —Cohan, Carcaterra, Andrino, Reinitz, Hess, DeSibio, Williams, L. Basile, Cagliotti. Third row— Managers; Schneider, Doft. Baseball WHILE the March winds blow, many of the boys will soon be practicing baseball. Soon the fans will be howling and gasping as the Tornadoes try to win the game and the championship. Despite the loss of last year’s pitching staff, with the expert coaching of Herman Wild, and a new array of talent, the team stands a fair chance of winning the championship. Action will soon begin at Cedarhurst Stadium with veterans and newcomers playing their best. We may see Stan Williams or Bob Cohan warming up on the pitchers mound before our first game. These boys will be supported by a group of rookies who will try to fill the shoes of Tom Vivona, Bill Belcher, and Pete Del Gais. With an all-veteran outfield returning and only three positions to be filled in the infield there are bright prospects for a highly successful year. 95 First row—Greenberg, Koryo, Mr. Ahner, Schoendorf, Cole. Second row—Eisenberg, Reisert, Goldstein, Monnion, Bomze, Epstein. Cross Country UNDER the able direction of Mr. Walter Ahner, Lawrence initiated a new sport this year, cross-country. This was the first cross-country team since 1949 when the sport was discontinued. Over one hundred boys reported to Mr. Ahner for the first day’s J. V. Basketball First row—Stocknoff, Shapiro, Mr. Martilotta (Coach), Car-caterra, Helfenstein, Adams. Second row—Miller, Orenstein, Marri, Knox, Robinson, Kivia. practice, but these were narrowed down to the final squad of about twelve. Practice was held daily and slowly the boys conditioned themselves for the coming meets. Although the season was unsuccessful, there were many fine young runners. MR. JACK MARTILOTTA, began his second year as J. V. coach with high hopes of another good season. Anthony Car-caterra, Butch Stocknoff, Nick DeSibio, Hugh Helfenstein, and Arthur Kopit moved up to the J. V. after a fine freshman season, and Lawrence’s basketball prominence seemed destined to return. The team opened with a win against Woodmere, with Mel Orenstein and Joe Shapio stepping into starting roles, and showing great promise. As the season progressed the J. V. compiled a very satisfactory record: the team surprised by defeating Hempstead, whose starting team averaged over six feet. Congratulations to the team and coach for a successful season. 96 First row — Weissberg, David, Inkeles, Zipser, Schacter. Second row—Zuckerberg, Handel, Bellow, Rosensweig, Umans, Weinreb, Karyo, Mr. Cameron. Tennis LAWRENCE'S tennis team looks to regain the South Shore tennis title which it lost last year. For a number of years, Lawrence has dominated South Shore tennis, but hopes are high that coach Frank Cameron can again turn out a top flight squad. A number of returnees can be counted on to assume the top spots. Among them are Lloyd Weinreb, who lost only one match last year, Norton Rosensweig, a top doubles player last year, Joel Handel who also did well at doubles, Don Umans and Mickey Schacter. A happy surprise this season has been the excellent play of Martin Zipser, a freshman. Martin will fight for a varsity berth with Michel Karyo, David Dietz, Jimmy David, and Gary Bellow. Since basketball ended these boys have been practicing to be in shape for their opening encounter. AS everyone knows, traditionally, Lawrence Golf teams have been among the leaders on Long Island. This year’s squad although hampered by the loss of two members, who graduated last year, did not hinder the team since four lettermen are returning from last year’s championship team. Mickey Sidel, Gene Mittleman, Frank Cit-tadino, and Stan Morganstern made up the nucleus for 1953, and everyone expected only the best from them. Each year the local championships are held at Bethpage, and the winners are qualified to play in the state championships. In past years Lawrence has been no stranger to this tournament and according to Coach Walter Kretz, our chances of winning this year are perhaps the best yet. Golf First row—Cesario, Morgenstern, Schleif. Second row—Mr. Kretz, Cittadino, Sidel, Mittleman. 97 Boys Bowling First row—Capabianco.

Varsity Cheerleaders gotta fight, you gotta win,” cry | the cheerleaders at our games as, under the expert guidance of Mrs. Avis, they lead the rooters of the Golden Tornadoes. This year the squad developed some excellent new formations including, in particular, a chorus line which has met with great success. Ably assisting Mrs. Avis were Pigeon Haber and Mary Lou Schreiber, co-captains of this year’s quad. Girls’ Basketball BASKETBALL, one of Lawrence’s most popular sports, once again drew a great number of girls. Each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, these girls diligently practiced under the guidance of Mrs. Barber. Sports Day was held on February 28th and Lawrence girls came in third. Some of the senior girls back this year were Hilda Grubman, Mary Ciaravolo and a newcomer, Harriet Gottlieb. First row—Wishbow, Ciaravolo, Grubman, Oliv;eri, Gottlieb. Second row—Outland, Goss, Berman, Mrs. Barber, Stromen, Jackson, Bittan. 100 First row—Gilemme, Loos, Dole, Randolph, Olivieri, Traver. Second row—Weiss, Barrow, Ciaravolo, Mrs. Barber, Schulder, Friedman, Bittan, Martilotta. Gym Leaders EVERY year, girls who are neat in appearance, have a pleasant personality, are ambitious and have a sincere interest in gym activities, are chosen to be candidates for the gym leaders. A prospective gym leader must have participated in at least two major and one minor sport after school each year. The duties of a gym leader include taking care of the gym apparatus and assisting in instructing the gym classes. Girls’ Gym Class THIS year something new and exciting has been added to Lawrence. It is the girl’s acrobatic class. This special class has been meeting since December 1st in the Corrective Room, and has been following a schedule of stunts, tumbling, and apparatus work. In the spring the girls plan to go outside and participate in tennis, archery, and softball. Since the classes are small, individual attention and rapid progression are made possible. Tennis IF you have ever walked by the tennis courts on Tuesday or Thursday, after school, you would hove seen over forty girls diligently practicing their tennis strokes. This year the girls’ tennis team's number one player was Hilda Grubman with Barbara Barnett and Ruth Finklestein, following respectively. These girls with the help of Pigeon Haber and Barbara Wagner brought Lawrence to first place on Sports Day. First row—Barnett, P. Haber. Second row—Peppe, Wagner, Horwitz. Badminton THIS year's badminton team was composed of quite a few beginners. Under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Avis, the team did rather well as a whole. Sports Day was on October 29, at Lynbrook. The girl's badminton honor team displayed their usual skill, friendly spirit and good sportsmanship even though they were defeated. First row—Randolph, 5. Levy. Second row—Barrow, Mr . Avis, Haber. J. V. Cheerleaders team, fight,” cry the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders at our Basketball games. Besides having the all important pep, these girls are noted for their vim, vigor and vitality! Under the capable guidance of Mrs. Nancy Avis, the squad developed some excellent new formations and cheers. Bittan, Zeller, Green, Mr . Avi , Steinfeld, Spielman, Segal. 102 Table Tennis UNDER the direction of Mrs. Nancy Avis, the girl’s table tennis team did very well in their scheduled games. The girls not only got valuable practice for next year but they thoroughly enjoyed obtaining it. On December 18, our girls won the table championship for Lawrence. First row—Barrow, Mukamal, Schulder. Second row —Subin, Mrs. Avis, Kaplan. Volley Ball VOLLEYBALL, as usual, was a very popular sport at Lawrence this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Muriel T. Barber, the four teams were very successful in their games. The girls' volleyball honor team showed their skill by winning the championship on Sports Day, December 17, at Malverne. First row—Ciaravolo, Dole, Gottlieb, Haber, Olivieri. Second row—Bittan, R. Williams, Jackson, Mrs. Barber, Stromen, M. Smith, Randolph. Bowling BOWLING, as usual, attracted many participants this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Avis, the girls won all of their games with Malverne, Lynbrook, and Baldwin. To prove its skill and ability the team came in second out of keen competition with twelve other schools on Sports Day, February 25, at Heineman’s in Hempstead. Muzzillo, J. Haber, Mrs. Avis, M. Haber, Martilotta. 103 chool THE film winds about the reel of the projector, just as the lives and activities of the students of Lawrence wind about their high school. Unraveling from day to day is the story of the past years of our school life. As we start our picture for a flashback of 1952 and 1953, you will notice that it has been a year to be remembered and treasured by all the students. Our productions, our clubs, and our sports played their part in producing a successful picture of “School Life.” September 5, 1952 found all upperclassmen “jounced” out of bed to attend the first day of school. The freshmen, who slept late, were indoctrinated at one o’clock that afternoon and went home muttering locker combinations. Football season got under way very soon after the start of school. J f jU IS V Shop work. Hot rod happy. Gym time. Home room. Substitute. Two points. 108 October was the month for elections. On October 20, the classes elected their advisers for the year. Shortly afterward, the classes held elections for class officers. The biggest and most important election was the mock Presidential election, showing that Lawrence High was representative of the United States. Eisenhower received a majority vote, and our good judgment was reaffirmed in the actual election. The Mixed Chorus began working hard on the first day of school and in the first assembly, which was for the purpose of promoting the Community Chest Drive, they presented a few selections. On November 14, the first concert of the year was given. At this time, selections from “The King and I” were presented, along with some very tuneful choral arrangements directed by Miss Garver. On February $ that all?” A day off. Marshall instruction. Sidelined. Cot a hammer? Cross country. 11, the Chorus did a fine job at the Brotherhood Musicale. They even earned praise from Jackie Robinson, the guest speaker. During November, school clubs were formed. In December, the Buskins, never to be outdone, held their annual tournament. Under the direction of Miss Ellsworth, the tournament was a great success. The highlight of January was the College Board Examinations, which the seniors worried about for weeks and then finished in three hours. February ushered in a rush of feverish activity on the part of the seniors. There was extensive planning of the Senior Skit and the other customs of Senior Day. Finally, on February 10th, the schedule went off like clock-work, and the seniors were rewarded with praise for an exceptionally good Senior Day. In March, an assembly was held for the Honor Society induction. This is held each year to give the underclassmen a chance to learn what is expected of an Honor Society member and to become inspired to work toward this goal. The Senior Play, “Mary III,” was put on in Broadway fashion on March 27th and was a credit to Miss Ellsworth and those who labored over it. “April in Lawrence” witnessed the start of the baseball season and the production of the “Vagabond King by the Mixed Chorus, with much planning and endless rehearsals. Under the expert direction of Miss Garver and with the aid of Mr. Daly, the operetta was a magnificent success. June Night, the Senior Prom, and finally Graduation were the events that terminated a wonderful high school career for two-hundred-fifty Lawrence seniors. There goes the film, flapping off the reel . . . the story’s ended! Ah lunch! John. Back ache and glory. On line. Free ball. 111 Mr. Beck teaching a budding craftsman. Looks complicated, boys, doesn't it? Vocational Department UNSKILLED freshmen, who don’t know one end of a bolt from the other, are, at the end of the four year Vocational course, able to take jobs as the competent welders, bricklayers, electricians, automobile mechanics and machinists vitally needed by our country. What better compliment than that could be paid to our Vocational Department, its teachers, and the boys themselves? Always having been one of the best on Long Island, the Vocational Department has undergone a change and become even better and more up-to-date by being moved from P. S. No. 1 to its spacious new quarters in L. H. S. Each shop has its own special room, and all the work of constructing the new department was accomplished by the Vocational boys. Now, instead of spending half their time in the public school for Vocational education, and the other half at L. H. S. for academic studies, the students have their whole curriculum right in Lawrence High and, therefore, are more like an integral part of the school. Their academic schedule consists of English, history, practical science, and vocational math. The first two years are an exploratory period for the Vocational student. He spends twenty weeks in each shop to become ac- quainted with the various trades. At the end of this time the pupil chooses the trade which interests him most and, for the remaining two years, he works exclusively on that specific subject, learning the fundamentals and mastering the fine points. The boys in the building trades department under Mr. Beck learn how to put pieces of wood together so that the finished products really take on a professional look whether it be in doll-sized houses, full-scaled ones, I bet you couldn't do this. 112 Because of hi s work, we will have a loud speaker system. candle sticks, lamps, cabinets or other various furniture pieces. Graduates of this Vocational Department branch are thoroughly trained to enter the building or carpentry fields. Enthusiastic young auto-mechanics learn, under the guidance of Mr. Fleming, how to dismantle auto motors, repair them, and most important, put them back together so that they work. Other automobile adjustments are also taught and these procedures are not only studied about in the classroom text books but also put to practical use on actual car models. These boys will not only be able to save money and aggravation by fixing their own cars, but at the end of the course, are equipped to satisfactorily fill positions as auto-mechanics. In the electrical shop the boys learn all about the make up and function of electrical apparatus from the simplest to the most complex. They build radios, motors and work with the problem of wiring buildings under the direction of Mr. Clarkson. By the end of their senior year these boys are not only fitted for fixing short circuits around the house, and toasters that just don't work, but also capable of holding down responsible jobs as electricians. Under the instruction of Mr. Swords, apprentice machinists in the machine shop are taught the use of hand tools and actual machines like those used in plants and factories. They also learn bench work and produce tools themselves, such as screw drivers and bench vises which are used in all branches of the Vocational Department. All the most up-to-date equipment is on hand for Mr. Kriz and his students to work with in the sheet metal and welding shop. Red-hot sparks fly as the boys are taught how to use standard acetylene torches and riveting machines in shaping and joining the metals. In high school a boy goes through a metamorphosis. He goes in a child and comes out a young man ready to take his place in the world, which holds true in the Vocational Department. We'll fix it, say Vinnie and Ernie.

School Staff IN order for any organization to be ron smoothly, there most be a good staff at work. Clerical work must be done, and phone calls must be made and answered. Lawrence High School is very fortunate to have a wonderful staff to take care of these jobs. In the Superintendent's office are Mrs. Katherine Koppe, Mrs. Gene Doughty, and Mrs. Helen McGinn. These women serve not only Lawrence High School but all of District 15. They take care of many items im- Mrs. Ruth Erhardt, Mrs. Dorothy Wright. portant to us and the community. The work in the Principal’s office is efficiently run by Mrs. Jane Purdy, Mrs. Beryl Haeseker, and Miss Andrea Romero. If we are late or wish to be excused, we must get our slips from them. They clear all phone calls and take care of all attendance records. Our permanent school records are in their office where they may be used for future reference when we apply for jobs. Along with their usual chores, the office staff must keep track of lost lunches and miscellaneous personal articles. Mrs. Ruth Erhardt of our Guidance Department is important to our organization. If we wish to have interviews, we make arrangements with her. She helps us with our high school programs. She also records our marks and other testing that is done. Mrs. Erhardt makes sure that we have bulletins from all the colleges so that the seniors can find the schools fulfilling their needs. She also helps the seniors with their applications. Many times she does favors for students, such as getting their homework assignments for them. Our school is certainly lucky to have such a staff, and we wish to express our gratitude for the wonderful work they are doing. 114 O. Shultz, J. Brower, S. Alger, H. Woerner, I. Enders, G. Deremer, G. Murphy, A. Clark. Custodians DID you ever walk into a dirty-looking classroom or run your hand along a stair rail and find it dusty? Not if you were in L. H. S., for a crew of men, ten strong, keep the building as well as the surrounding grounds spotlessly clean! These men are Mr. Mazza, Mr. Schreiber, Mr. Traver, Mr. Player, Mr. Mollo, Mr. Boddy, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Brown, Mr. Thyden, and Mr. DePalma. Also performing other invaluable tasks, these hard-working custodians contribute a great deal to the comfort of students and teachers and the smooth functioning of the school. Kitchen Staff WEBSTER defines food as “anything that nourishes or sustains.” Lawrencians are able to buy lunch in the cafeteria every day, a meal which not only meets these requirements but is also appetizing. This mammoth job is smoothly carried on by the Kitchen Staff under Miss Sloane. The Kitchen Staff also help at other cafeteria functions, and their good work is always appreciated. Mrs. Lydia Grady, also an aid to students, can always be found in the locker room where she is indispensable to Lawrence girls. She is a school fixture which need never be changed. E. Pellitier, W.

Bldgs. 115 « June Night MANY of us think of high-school activities as a time for fun, but that is not the whole story. Many of our activities entail hard work and a strong sense of responsibility. Some students are outstanding in their curricular and extra-curricular activities and their efforts are rewarded during an awe inspiring ceremony. This ceremony is called June Night. It usually takes place the first Tuesday night in June. This evening is important to us all, for it is at this time that either we or our best friends are recognized publicly for our accomplishments. The first portion of the program involves the presentation of awards to students who have done outstanding work in particular subjects. These awards are presented by members of our school administration. Our whole community is interested in these students, as is shown by the fact that different community organizations sponsor the awards. The Peninsula Bank of Cedarhurst gives cash awards to two students who have maintained for four years the highest average in the business department. The Lawrence-Cedarhurst Federal Savings and Loan Association also gives an award of this type. The Honor Society, which is made up of academic honor students, gives fifty dollars to a deserving boy from the vocational department. Not merely students who will graduate this year are honored. Many underclassmen will also be rewarded. A junior boy and girl are elected by the American Legion and the American Legion Ladies' Auxiliary to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State. This is a ten-day func- 116 tion which teaches students the legislative process of our state. The long Island Girls Athletic Association gives gold keys to the girls who have accumulated enough points by participating in after-school sports and being outstanding in their endeavors. A girl and boy from the senior class who have had great interest in community affairs and have done exceptional work in that field are given one hundred dollars from the Hi-Y clubs of Lawrence High School. Medals are awarded by the Lawrence Association to girls and boys who have displayed outstanding work in their extra-curricular activities and maintained good grades. The senior girl or boy who have shown respect for our country and its principles by being good citizens and who possesses the fine qualities of leadership, service, good character and courage, receives an award in the form of a certificate and medal from the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Post of the American Legion. Awards are given to band members who have shown exceptional talent or achievements in the various competitions which take place in Long Island during the year. Our best actor and actress are presented with the Buskin Cup for their fine performance in the Buskin Tournament. The editors of the Law-rencian and the Mental Pabulum are presented with last year's ratings. The Parents-Teachers Association gives a cash award which enables a student to continue her education for one year after high school. This award is given to an outstanding student of the Economics Department. They also give three, two hundred dollar awards to students being exceptional in leadership, service, and scholarship. The class of the previous year gives a one hundred dollar award to the most outstanding senior, the one who they feel has contributed most to his school and community. The final award of the evening is from the Central Council of the P. T. A. given to the senior, who has maintained a superior average and has shown outstanding character and service. This award is a three hundred and fifty dollar scholarship. The final portion of the program is the inspiring induction of new members into our chapter of the National Honor Society. Students who are accepted may well feel proud for they are considered the best students of our school. They possess the qualities which are considered most important: outstanding scholarship, good leadership, fine character, and unselfish service. I 117 Homemaker!! Learning something new. Home Economics Department MANY of our girls here at Lawrence High School have found in the Home Economics Department an opportunity to prepare for their future jobs as wives and mothers. Miss Sloane is head of the department. Mrs. DeMott is in charge of the sewing department and Mrs. Flynn is in charge of the cooking department. Under their guidance, the girls become conscious of the importance of this preparation and learn to do their homemaking tasks quickly and easily. The cooking department has a large and well-equipped kitchen where the girls work in small groups. This proves to be a great advantage since the girls are able to receive individual attention. Many modern and up-to-date conveniences are provided for the girls to work with. They are given a chance to put what they are taught to use by actual experiments. The wonderful aromas that come from the cooking room are proof that these experiments are successful. Along with actual cooking skills, the girls learn how to prepare balanced meals and how to entertain and set an attractive table. This year the girls take pride especially in the appearance of the kitchen. The curtains which now hang at the windows were made by the girls themselves and they have done a good job by painting the shelves in the closets a bright yellow which helps to create a cheerful atmosphere. In the well-planned and spacious room of the sewing department, one may find Mrs. DeMott teaching her students the skills of sewing and design. While the girls are learning these skills, they are given an opportunity to make clothes for themselves. They learn how to choose suitable wardrobes and the fashion shows which are often given, help the girls and encourage them to select the right styles and materials. The girls are taught to distinguish between the different Bed-spreading. 118 Kitchen police. types of fabrics, materials, and the styles which are best suited for them. Mrs. DeMott also teaches the fundamentals of interior decorating. This class is very interesting and beneficial to many girls who will in the future have their own homes. A very special part of the Home Economics Department is the apartment, which consists of a living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, and bath. The girls are responsible for its appearance and they perform all the housekeeping tasks they have learned. The apartment has a very friendly atmosphere and is very often the scene of parties, club meetings, and meetings of faculty members. Here also the Sub Debs class under the supervision of Miss Sloane and Mrs. DeMott, meet to discuss the problems of young women of today, marriage preparations, and parent-child relations. This brings to view another strong feature of the department. The girls who have taken Home Economics have benefited greatly by the courses of this department, which has truly proved to be one of the outstanding features of Lawrence High School. A great many girls have come back to the homemaking department after graduation and have thanked Miss Sloane, Mrs. Flynn and Mrs. DeMott for the wonderful knowledge and preparation for marriage that they had gained during the course of study during their years at Lawrence High School. Many found that the confidential discussions that they had had during class the wonderful experience gained through the competent guidance, all in all the assistance and knowledge gained during this course has completely aided them in their life after high school and especially in founding their marriage on a firm and secure basis. All girls throughout their four years of high school are also recommended to take advantage of the wonderful course that is offered. If they do, it is virtually guaranteed that they will benefit from the guidance and experience that has benefitted many other girls before them. Ouf of the oven.
