And slop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains. And, supercilious, peer In shanties hv the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare To fit its sides and crawl between. Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star. Stop—docile and omnipotent At its own stable door.

Those classes that have gone before us have had the responsibility of recording our classes’ activities, and now that we wear the chief engineer’s cap, it is our job to record the activities, sports, and school life of the classes of 1956, 1957, 1958 and our own class of 1955. This is our purpose. Our motif or theme is one of those rickety old coal burners whose sparks we hope will shed some light on our interpretation of our wonderful school, its teachers, and students. Our theme might he called “A TRIP THROUGH LAW-RENCE.” We prefer to think of it as part of our trip through life—one lap of which we have shared together at Lawrence. Some of you seniors will spend many happy, nostalgic hours browsing through these pages one year, two years, or twenty years from the date of publication. And although Lawrence High School has meant many things to many people, we hope that everyone will find something here which impressed him most or which he best remembers. 6 DEDICATION rjlHERE are no retirements from the Lawrence 11 i li faculty this year, hut the high school will lose the services ol Mr. Theodore Ciamillo, who is assuming a new responsibility in the school district, that of principal of l S. 2, Inwood. Mr. Ciamillo is a graduate of l S. 4 and of Lawrence High School. He received his degrees from Lebanon Valley College and New York University, and returned from Army service to teach at P. S. 2 and the high school. For the past six years, he has served as head football coach, developing many of Lawrence’s finest stars. This year’s team was particularly outstanding, winning the Triple A championship. We wish Mr. Ciamillo much happiness and success in his new position, and in recognition of his services to Lawrence, we dedicate our yearbook to him. Mr. Theodore Ciamillo 7 First row—Mr. Reilly, Mr. Eldcrd, Chairman of the Hoard: Fruin, Mr. Lazrus. I)r. Vivona. Second row—Mr. It () A R I) OF EDUCATION LET us begin our trip through Lawrence High School with a look at the administrators of our school system, the men who lay the plans and make the decisions which make our school district outstanding in the educational opportunities it provides for tin youth of our area. Mayor Elderd and the four prominent citizens who serve with him constitute the Board of Education for School District 15. These gentlemen have given freely of their time and talent for many years to provide for us the best of educational services and facilities. May we, the students of Lawrence High, express our thanks for their many labors on our behalf. 8 Mr. Lawrence V. Dodd Superintendent of Schools oung people in our schools are taught to live nobly, to work valiantly, to think clearly and to serve well. Working together in high school activities is a most effective preparation for the application of unity and co-operation in later life. Thomas Jefferson declared that education was, The resource most to he relied upon for ameliorating the condition, promoting the virtue ami advancing the happiness of man. The faith of the founding fathers in education is part of our rich heritage. Your school activities have heen vital and interesting; your record has heen accomplished by constant good work. AD MINI ST RATION The ability we all possess which enables us to grow and to continue growing is, happily, not limited to the years when we are reaching our full physical stature; it remains with us throughout our lives. Your years in high school have presented many opportunities for growth, and you have responded to each occasion with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The years which lie ahead will offer infinitely more opportunities for you to grow, and by growing, to contribute your full measure of service to others. May you have the vision and the will to make the most of them. Mr. Henry C. Boschert Assistant to the Superintendent 9 One of the qualities to be noted among members of the Class of 1955 is that of Self-Reliance. The more our manner of living requires us to depend upon others for acquiring and enjoying the material things of lift the more it behooves us to rely on ourselves in matters cultural and spiritual if we are to avoid complete regimentation. It may he unimportant that our cars, radios, clothing are pretty much of a pattern. What is important is that we know where to draw the line and that in those matters where individuality really counts we have the impetus and courage to stand on our own two feet. Miss Elsie R. Tefft A ssistan t Princi ml Mr. Cecil H. MaHood Principal Soon you of the class of 1955 will he leaving Lawrence High School. It will he a parting from high school life hut also a beginning of new experiences and interests. Lawrence has had much to offer you during the past four years. It has attempted to help you develop the desires and capabilities necessary to become a well-rounded person. It has attempted to create in you a sense of responsibility for contributing your share of service to your fellow men and the community in which you find yourself. Many of you have recognized these opportunities and utilized these. Others of you have not taken advantage of them to the fullest extent. It is to he hoped that as you pass tin milestone of high school graduation and face new horizons you will he given the ability and courage to choose wisely your niche in society. My best wishes to each of you. Mr. Lyman W. Davison Guidance Director The termination of your high school course is hut llie beginning of a far more serious task for each of you—-a task that will separate you among the professions, the trades, and other occupations. In your associations with your teachers and your contacts with us in Guidance, we hope that you have been made aware of the capabilities and interests which will enable you to make a wise selection. No matter what that choice may be, there will always be opportunities lor success and reward for effort if you will go forward with ambition, ideals, and character. Here you should have begun the development of all three. My wish for you now is that you continue to develop to become successful and worthwhile citizens. Good luck! Once again I am pleased to extend greetings and best wishes to Lawrence High School's graduating class, the class of 1955. I hope that your high school course has been what you wished it to be, and even more than you hoped it might be. I trust you have learned much about yourselves, your capaci-lies anil your aptitudes, and the one really worthwhile lesson of how to get along with people. I wish all of you success and happiness in the years ahead, much interesting and challenging work, opportunities to meet people, to do things. Good Luck!

The supervision of the entire line falls to the Superintendent’s office where Mrs. Helen McGinn, Mrs. Catherine Koppe, Mrs. Doughty, and Miss Ciaravolo aid Mr. Lawrence V. Dodd in the administration of the executive affairs of the school. They also serve the community by issuing working papers. Acting as the ticket agents are Miss Andrea Romero, Mrs. Dorothy Wright, Miss Anne Iannicelli, and Mrs. Ruth Erliardt of the main office. They keep attendance records of all the passengers and get them hack on the track if they happen to be tardy or forget an excuse. Anyone who wishes to take an excursion home or catch up with the train in a certain town comes here for their blue ticket. No train can arrive at its destination without the “switchmen” who guide the passengers along the proper route of course. Mrs. Krhardt keeps accurate records of their routes and also provides further travelogues for PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE Mrs. bright. Miss Iannicelli, Mrs. Erlianlt. Miss Romero.

Second row—Brown, Broddy, Mollo, Player, De Palmer. those interested in higher education. Mrs. Jane Jenner and Mrs. Erhardt also help in the direction, guidance, and adjustment of our passengers. To make sure no one leaves the train before it reaches the station, Mr. Craft and Mr. Kirsner, our attendance officers keep a watchful eye on all. Passengers need fuel as well as the train, and therefore the kitchen staff under the direction of Miss Winifred Sloane provides an appetizing mid-day meal. The building Superintendents, Mr. Chimenti and Mr. Elderd, are responsible for the proper physical maintenance of our train. Their suggestions aid our maintenance men in keeping the train clean, neat, and smoothly running. These men under Mr. Mazza and Mr. Schreiber act as the train's firemen and keep the boiler well stoked in order to provide plenty of heat during the winter months. A familiar sight to all female passengers, is Mrs. Rudloff, who is always ready and willing to tend to their every need. These people, the “unsung heroes, ’ are indispensable for making our THIP THROUGH LAW REN (IE educational, enjoyable, and most of all, one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. 23 SENIOR CLASS ALL Aboard! With this the train was off again and we were on it—Freshmen on the first lap of a four year junket. Although a little shaken up at first hy the unfamiliar movement we soon got used to it and elected our class conductors Jesse Adams, President; Joel Newman, Vice President: Arnold Beiles, Secretary: Hugh Helfenstein, Treasurer: and Mr. Walter Kretz, Adviser. Most of our time during this leg of the journey was spent in getting used to the strange scenery. After stopping to pick up another group we proceeded to the next car marked, Reserved For Sophomores,” and immediately chose two new engineers ami assistants—Hugh Helfenstein and Charles Adams, Co-Presidents; Arnold Beiles, Secretary; Anthony Carcaterra, Treasurer; and Mr. Vi alter Kretz, Adviser. Other passengers started noticing us about this time. The third car had a sign reading ‘‘Snow- hailing In The Rear Of The Car Only.” We leaned hack nonchalantly and selected a five-some to lead the Juniors—Hugh Helfenstein, President; Charles Adams, Vice President; Anthony Carcaterra, Secretary; Arnold Beiles, Treasurer: and Mr. Gabriel Uhlar, Adviser. May saw our car decked out Mardi Gras style for tin Junior Prom. Towards the end of the year someone came around selling things— not ice cream and coffee hut rings and keys with L. H. S. on them. The fourth car was roomy so that magazine subscriptions and college board tests con hi he kept there till ready to he used and did we use them! Our capable leaders were Hugh Helfenstein, President; Stephanie Schwarz, Vice President; Anthony Carcaterra, Secretary; John Suval, Treasurer; and Mr. Donald Clark, Adviser. Senior Day, the Senior Play and the Senior Prom kept us busy ami before we knew it the train had pulled into the station marked Graduation and with regret we got off: however, the regret changed to anticipation as we hoarded other trains labeled College, Work, and Marriage. 26 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Schwarz, Suval, Mr. Clark, Carcaterra, Helfenstein. VALEDICTORI VN John Suval is Valedictorian of the Class of 1955- that fact cannot he disputed as his 94.63 average indicates; however, some other facts cannot be disputed either John is all-around, capable and just the sort of person whom everyone likes and respects. Due to these qualities, this year he was elected President of the Honor Society and the French Club, and Treasurer of the Class of 1955. It is not necessary to hope that John he “successful in all his endeavors’' he has had a very substantial start and we all know that he will continue to steer down the same track. THIRD HONOR SPEAKER I he boys seem to have run away with the scholastic honors this year. David Class, Third Honor Speaker with a 93.81 average, completes the top trio. I hroughout his four years at Lawrence David has always taken a great interest in everything and his list of activities is a mile long. This year he held membership in the Honor Society, Marshals, Math Club and Science Club. He also had the honor of being Chairman of the Junior Red Cross Council. As for the future, the ambition to be a doctor has always heen uppermost in David’s mind. We are sure that his ambition will he realized. SALUTATORI N Alan Edelson, a boy with a penetrating mind and a keen intellect, stands scholastically second in our graduating class. His very admirable average of 94.14 shows that he has used his abilities to good advantage. Alan held membership in the Honor Society and the Marshals this year and was Vice President of the Math (dub. Always having been interested in science, Alan plans to continue in this field after high school. Eventually he would like to go into the specialized field of biochemistry. We will undoubtedly be hearing great things about him in the future. Perhaps he will rank with Einstein. 27 CHARLES . . . Charlie . . .“Cru ylegs”. . . Can this hoy move! . . .

May ue help you?” 63 SENIOR DAY The rut ure as seen through the eyes of a Freshman in high school appears ominous and endless. The subsequent four years of h is high school education seem like twenty, as well they might to the young and anxious; however, the four years pass with lightning rapidity, and the future becomes a memory. The memory retains those events which give one happiness in reflection and it transforms the major crises of the past into jokes to tell friends. Senior Day at Lawrence High School, 1955, is one of the events of the past that is embedded in the minds of the members of that Senior ('lass. Preparation for Senior Day begins weeks in advance. Selection of classes, preparing a lesson, the work done by committees, chart work, senior-faculty heads directing their departments; that is Senior Day. Writing a script for the Skit, distributing parts, the days spent after school rehearsing; that is Senior Day. Walking up the front steps at 8:00 A.M., signing in at the office, the girls dressed up in spike liels, the boys in jackets and ties, the “platter-size” senior pins, a reserved section in the cafeteria for seniors only, the class officers as the “big wheels” of the school; that is Senior Day. The Last Will and Testament, the laughs, the final song, a tear or two, the dance at three o’clock, the pride, the spirit, and the friendship: that is Senior Day. The ingredients mentioned in the preceding paragraphs are included in most Senior Days and at most high schools, but Lawrence High School's Class of '55 had the people to put the ingredients together and make them work. President Hugh Helfenstein, Vice President Stephanie Schwarz, Secretary Tony Car-caterra, and Treasurer John Suval creditably assumed their duties not only on Senior Day itself hut also in the days of preparation. Joel Newman who was the Chairman of Senior Mr. Clark and his brain-trust. Enthusiastic “actors of the Senior Skit. Mr. Helfenstein suffer vises events on Senior l)ay. Eafier student faculty siftn in. Day also did a commendable job. Tbe Kng-lisb. Language, History, Math, Science, Business and Music Departments were beaded by Koebelle Greene, Marion Slovsbek, Muriel Kfron, Jim Weisberg, Ken Shearer, Florence Lisena and Joe Mazza respectively. Tbe teaching done by tbe seniors was most laudable and all received high recommendations. Senior Day would not be complete without a Senior Skit. At 2:45 in tbe afternoon, tbe Junior and Senior Classes were ushered into tbe auditorium and for tbe next hour were thoroughly entertained. Tbe Skit, which was a take-off on tbe television program, “This Is Your Life,” was rated by many of tbe faculty as tbe best they bad ever seen. It was directed by Harvey Granat who also acted as emcee. Tbe Class of 1955 was shown comical scenes from its four years at Lawrence High. By taking typical school activities, tbe students satirized themselves and made fun of their own shortcomings. Tbe Skit was concluded by tbe traditional reading of the Last Will and Testament. In order to make tbe day complete, a dance was held in tbe gymnasium after tbe Skit. All seniors were invited, along with any regular faculty members who wished to attend. Free soft drinks were served and a band supplied the dance music. The ('.lass of 1955 thanks: Mr. Clark, faculty adviser, for bis voluntary assistance and guidance; Mr. Daly for bis advice on directing tbe Skit: and John Mollo for tbe invaluable aid which made tbe dance such a success. At tbe end of tbe day all participants could feel that certain warm glow which conies from doing a job right and .setting a fine example. Tbe weather was perfect, tbe classes were well taught, tbe Skit was smooth and really funny, and tbe dance was enjoyable. Senior Day, 1955, may be over but tbe memory of it will last forever. Miss Schuarz attends to her duties us assistant principal. Mr. Sural offers suggestions for the future. Mr. Carcaterra discusses Senior Day procedure uith student teacher. “They were doin' the Mamho!” Who . . . me? Miss Lieberman explains a Latin translation. One. two, ready begin! Boo-boopy doo! 66 SENIOR FACULTY GAME ON March 23, the Senior Faculty basketball game was played in the gym to a capacity crowd of enthusiastic rooters. This game has become a tradition at Lawrence and the proceeds, this year, went to the Red Cross. “Kill the ref!” Senior Shoot Hooting “Ra, Ra. Fer Rn Ra!” Mr. Mnrtillota—sharpshooter! The Seniors won by the close score of 36-29, but they had some anxious moments during the game. High scorer for the Faculty Team were Mr. Wild with 10 points and Mr. Martillota with 9. Making the most tallies for the Seniors were Eddie McCarron with 8 points and Joel Redler with 7 points. 67 SENIOR PLAY April first. !! april fool’s day. For the audience that crowded into the Lawrence High School auditorium for a night of real Broadway theatre it was not April Fool’s Day but a bit of fine entertainment from the Seniors. “The Night of January 16th” by Ayn Rand was the choice of this year’s Senior class. The audience was captivated by the skillful treat- dience. Some held the opinion that Karen was innocent; and others were assured of her guilt. To the stage and lighting crews, the ticket and costume committees and all those behind the scenes who helped make the play a hit, the cast extends its gratitude and thanks. Once again sincere thanks and appreciation are due to the director, Mr. Dan Daly, who gave so unselfishly of his time and talent to make the play a real success.

The story is concerned with the alleged murder of Bjorn Faulkner. Karen Andre, his former secretary is charged with the murder. She is accused of shooting Faulkner and tossing his body from her penthouse apartment window. The play takes on an unusual twist when a notorious gangster, Larry Began, tells the court that he was paid to keep quiet. Regan says that Mr. Whitfield, Faulkner’s father-in-law, is the murderer and that he became aware of the murder when lie attempted to keep a rendezvous with Faulkner with whom he had taken 10 million dollars of the Whitfield loan.

The Class of !%( settled down with aplomh and elected officers without a flurry. Those elevated to high positions were: Peter (amino, President: Donald Parlland. Vice-President; ilhurt “Sonny” Linton, Secretary; Hetty Jane Muzzilo, Treasurer and Mr. Daniel Daly, Faculty Adviser. (Davy Crockett was elected official Class Hero.) The Junior year is always a busy one and this one was no exception. The home Room Representatives went to work immediately collecting dues and the officers and committee chairmen began planning for the annual Prom on May 14. W hat a Prom that was! Everyone had such a wonderful time dancing in the gym which had been decorated for an “Evening in Paris” for the occasion. Near the end of the year the Juniors really felt like upper-upper classmen. Why? What a silly question! They got their rings and keys, of course! Each Junior really felt like a Senior then, in fact, each one was waiting rather impatiently for graduation day. It finally came and guess what? The Juniors officially became Seniors. Yippee!! JUNIOR GIRLS First row—Re pari, Tripodo, Shot land, Giles, Grund. Frankel, Birkhahn, Garusso, Harnett, Li pen.

THE first official act of the Sophomore Class was the election of officers: President. Marco Benedetto; ice-President. Kenneth Ratzan: Secretary. Frank Terumo: Treasurer. Janice Andrews, and Faculty Advisor, Mr. Higgins. The election took place on October 11. By that time the Sophomores had discovered that if the life of a Sophomore was a bed of roses, the roses were extremely thorny. orld History, for example, was an express train from 4000 B.C. to the present with no local stops. One may have noticed a familiar face, however, as 44 B.C. rushed past: Julius Caesar was met at least twice by every Sophomore, in English and in History. Perhaps Latin students will recognize the name? Geometry, also, was a thorny rose by another name. English, of course, was not without its problems. Do you have the definition of “’metaphor” handy? Do you remember who wrote Silas Marner? Is k to who correct or ”to whom”? A break in the grind of studies came with the Soph Hop in January. Everyone present enjoyed this gift from the P. T. A. After the gav event the Sophomores lived on till June and then played away the summer so that they would he ready for the beginning of the Junior year. 74 SOPHOMORE BOYS First row—Shapiro, Lesser, Gutternian.

FRESHMAN CLASS ON September eighth nearly 380 unsuspecting Freshmen were anxiously awaiting the hour when tin Lawrence High School doors would officially open to them. Finally the time came and the appointed Marshals ushered the enthusiastic “Prosit” to the auditorium. There, Mr. Cecil MuHood greeted them and told them what to expect in the coming four years. This was followed by a speech by Mr. Arthur Jones who stressed music and Miss Elsie R. Tefft, the Assistant principal who familiarized the new students with the school building, and its rules. In October officers for the Freshman class were elected. Under the guidance of Mr. Arthur huehn, the Class Advisor; Barbara Esposito, President; Marty Kaminsky, Vice President; Dorothy Ackerman, Secretary and David 1'ratih, Treasurer, the Freshman year was a big success. The highlight of the year was the “Freshman Hop in November sponsored by the P. T. A. The tremendous turnout was quite representative of its success. Now as the school year draws to a close it can he safely said that one class has advanced —the Freshman. No longer can they he fooled by practical jokes. They know there is no swimming pool, fourth floor, or elevator. They have learned from experience and they are much wiser for it—now they are ready for their Sophomore year.

DID you ever stop to wonder what lies behind the making of a yearbook? W ell here’s the story behind this, our Lawrencian 1955. Last summer, before school had opened and most students tried not to think about when it would, our editors, James MaHood and Florence Lisena, started the groundwork for the Lawrencian. First came the question of a theme, which is always a diffcult matter to decide. I he present theme being accepted, the editors, with much help from Harvey Quaytman, art editor, made several trips to the publisher, asking questions and becoming acquainted with such words as “bleed,” “dummy,” “overlay,” and “screen over-all.” In the fall the circulation and advertising drives began, managed by Corinne Sussman and Robert Semel, respectively, with the help of Judith Schoenbrun, Business Manager. Many students helped our book by contributing their time and efforts to aid in these drives. The staff photographer, Martin Pitt and Richard Wechter, took most of the excellent pictures, along with Arthur Lipton. They were always on the alert for something with picture interest to make the book come alive. LITERARY AND ART hirst rote— olfson, W echter, (Jiiaytman.

Such matters as teacher credits, senior write-ups, and proofreading were handled by Judith Liebernian ami Jo-Ann Montgomery, Literary Editors. They were grateful to Carl Wolfson for his help with the articles, to Rochelle Greene, Alexander Stark and Philip Kiviat for their help with the senior writeups, and to all those who wrote articles. Gertrude Pearsall and Prudence Stile, staff typists, with Rose Ruggiero helping, were always ready and willing to type up all written material. Whenever advice and help were needed, Mr. Ray Merriam was on hand. In October the editors and managers went to a yearbook conference at Columbia University where they attended talks and viewed yearbooks from other parts of tin world. The last few days before Easter Vacation proved to be a busy time for those on the staff. File deadline was April 5 and it came, as do all deadlines, all too quickly. Then came the waiting period until June. W hat would the finished product look like? W ere any terrible mistakes made? These questions kept running through the minds of those on the staff. When L-Day came at last, we found, to our pride and satisfaction that we shouldn't have worried. The Lawrcncian was a success. CIRCULATION First row Lichtenstein, Rahstcin, Smith. Isaac.-on.

II was a warm clay in March; the campus of Columbia University swarmed with editors and reporters from all over the United States. The occasion was the three day convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. orking their way through the crowds surrounding the bulletin hoard, delegates from the Mental Pabulum searched for their rating. As they scanned the pages someone finally spotted the name, Mental Pabulum, at the top of the list of first place papers; however, this year it had received the distinction of being the leading first class paper! There were many people who worked hard to achieve this honor. Naturally, the first ones who come to mind are the Co-Editors, Paula Pincus and Joan Englebardt. Through their leadership and the wonderful guidance of the staff’s adviser, Mrs. Madeline Denton, the Pab had a very successful year. Next credit must be given to the other students on the “Masthead.” They are: 1. Sports Editors, Arthur Kopit and Alice Fisher, who gave accurate and up-to-date accounts of all sports activities. 2.

HONOR SOCIETY Tl'MlK Honor Society has been ami tradi-X tionallv continues lo In- the most venerable organisation of onr school coinmnnity. Its high standards of character, scholarship, leadership, and service have created a membership of l.awrcncians who may lie found in many of the various activities of school life. It- distinguished existence alone has caused several aspirants to perform at their best the functions that school life preesnts. To attain membership in the Honor So-cietv one must meet certain requirements. n 85 per cent average is the minimum grade requirement. Although scholastic ability is a prime factor in becoming a candidate for membership, extra-curricular participation is of essential importance. It is in such activities that a student may display a sense of nrspon--ibilitv. fair conduct, leadership, and character. In March an assemblv attended by Freshmen and Sophomores wa held for the purpose of inducting probationary members into the Honor Society. - a result the loner class-men were inspired to strive toward the achievements that the Society symbolizes. The final and most impressive activity of the year was held on June Night when new members of the Honor Society were formally inducted. The lights were dimmed, the candles lit. and the speeches setting forth the four guiding principles of the Honor Society were recited. The successes of this year were due to the guidance and efforts of Mis? Leavitt, faculty adviser: John uv a I, President: Arnold Beiles. Vice President: Judith Lieberman. Secretary : and Harvev Granat. Treasurer. S4 JUNE NIGHT JUNK NIGH I is the highlight of the academic year at Lawrence, second only to graduation. There are two major divisions during this dignified and pleasant evening. The first part is devoted to the awards for those who have shown peculiar ability during their careers at Lawrence. They are presented with cash, plaques, keys, and other signs which the school and community use to offer their appreciation for excellence shown in various school activities. Probably the most important awards are those given to students by their respective colleges and by our Parent-Teacher Association. These are given to students needing some financial assistance to carry on their fine records. The Peninsula Bank and the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Savings Association give two cash awards, each, to those in our business department having attained highest honors. The Honor Society makes its fifty dollar award for the outstanding boy in the vocational department. Many other awards are made: to one girl and one boy, both Juniors, the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary make it possible to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State: to a girl from the senior class who has “ pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the society to which I have been elected striving in every way, by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and my life. be en outstanding in community affairs, the Hi-Y clubs of Lawrence presents a one hundred dollar award; to hank members who have displayed unusual achievement in competition. awards are made: to the outstanding Economic Department student, the P. T. A. makes it possible to continue his education for one year: to three students exceptional in leadership, service and scholarship, the P. T. A. gives two hundred dollars each; etc. All of these awards show the active concern and awareness of the adults in our community for support of the industrious and sincere leaders of the communities and schools that are to come. Following these awards is the National Honor Society ceremony. Here, those students who have displayed an all-around standard of excellence are honored for their silent but steady aid to the school through character, service, leadership and scholarship. To be elected to this group is every Lawrencian’s hope. The whole evening, while divided into two separate portions, has a great unity in that the persons who have served their school and community are encouraged with outward signs that the path they tread is the right one! 85 First row—Bra l liaw, Burlin anu .

MARSHALS IF Lawrence High School is to he compared to a train, then the Marshals can be compared to porters or “redcaps,” since their function is to inform, help and be on hand whenever they are needed. These Marshals are comprised of Juniors and Seniors who have been outstanding in their leadership, character, service, and merit in school life. They can easily he recognized by their buff and blue arm hands. One of the most important tasks of the Marshals is to acquaint the incoming Freshmen class with the facilities of the school. For the first week of school, they serve as guides for those who are lost, assist in opening lockers and just generally make the newcomers feel at home. The Marshals also act as ushers at such school functions as plays, concerts, open school night, June Night, and Graduation. Because of their usefulness and competence the Marshals are an invaluable aid to the school. The excellent supervision of Miss Anne Corazza has played an important role in the smooth running of this organization. Muriel Efron and Florence Lisena, Head Girl Marshals, and James MaHood and Hugh Helfen-stein. Head Boy Marshals, have most capably managed the numerous details of the organization's work throughout the school year. As Marshal a student has an opportunity to serve and participate in the management of his school affairs and, like the “redcap,” he has the satisfaction that conies from helping others. Membership in the Marshals is actually an honor, hut it is a goal toward which any student can and should strive. 86 First row—Markowitz, kryl. Part land, Lederer, Blutreirh, Bradshaw.

Community events! bit all these together and we have the functions of one of the outstanding departments in Lawrence High School. Under the able direction of Mr. Arthur T. Jones and Mr. Konstantin Epp, the hand year is always one of combined work and fun for all. This year’s marching season, with the band headed by Drum Major Joseph I). Mazza. was one of the most successful and spectacular ones Lawrence High has ever seen. Among the many memorable band formations was the rootin’ tootin' “W estern theme,” which closed the home-game marching season. Due credit must be given the trim Twirlers, who added so much sparkle and zest to this and all the other performances. First row—Mazza. W eisberg. Cooper. DeMar. Kaplan. Player, Bradshaw.

One of tlie high lights of the school year was the Spring Concert presented by the hand and orchestra. Preparation for this event involved hours of steady rehearsal. The satisfaction derived from participating in such an event plus the reaction of the audience to a superb performance made each moment of tedious practice a moment of immeasurable worth. Handling the hand’s music was Lawrence Bernstein, the efficient librarian. The hand conducted an annual dance and picnic, and ushered in vacation time with an exciting and enjoyable Christmas party. These activities were planned by the hand officers: William Albert, President; James Weisberg, Vice-President; Laura Kaplan, Secretary; and Carl Wolfson, Treasurer. Anyone with an interest in music can learn to play an instrument and become part of the hand and we can well he proud of this organization. The directors ami members working together compose a most wonderful group. First ron Lam tein, Kirblin. Willett, Kaplan, Bernstein, De.Vlar, Burlingame, Seligson, Bcller.

Fourth row—Weiner, Kromholz. Bernstein, Diesl, Schindel. Wolfson, Sucher, Rifkin. ORCHESTRA THE orchestra is a standard school course and it meets every day for a regular forty-three minute session. During this time the group practices various compositions requisite for pending performances. From time to time, members of the group are picked to act as conductor. To supplement the work of the orchestra, the curriculum include lessons in music appreciation and theory by the excellent directors, Mr. Arthur Jones and Mr. Konstantin Epp. An innovation brought about this year required each member of the orchestral body to render a solo with piano accompaniment. This aided in increasing skill as well as stage presence. The orchestra] instruments include violins, violas, cellos, basses, clarinets, saxophones, flutes, trumpets, trombones, tubas, French horns, and percussions. A weekly challenge is conducted. The purpose of this is to determine the rank of each person in his individual section. The person who comes out first in his group is section leader for the week. This year an attempt was made to change the trend of music to a more serious mode. The young musicians soared through such works as the opera Carmen. Bach, Aire, Mozart's Symphony in G Minor. Prometheus, and a number of difficult tunes typical of European countries. The orchestra made appearances at various school functions throughout the year. A successful Spring Concert was attended and enjoyed by many. The orchestra also played the strains of Pomp and Circumstances at the Commencement Exercises. Aside from hard work, the members of this group had their share of enjoyment. At the annual Christmas party, the orchestra was present together with the hand and twirlers. Later in the year a dance was held for the three groups cited above. This year, the orchestra had the following people as its officers. Arthur Davis, President; Lucille Poster, Vice-President; Susan Siegal. Secretary; Lorraine Kryl, Treasurer; and Muriel Efron, Librarian. These people aided Mr. Jones and Mr. Epp in helping to make the year a success. In the 1954-1955 season the orchestra achieved its goals and returned its top ranking and respect among school activities. 89 yili i First rote—Vila, riser, Byners, Kfron, Maddox, DeMirliael, Mazzeo.

Muriel Efron, Head Majorette, proudly led these girls through their paces ably assisted by co-captains Florence Lisena, Joyce Oliveri. Harriet Dwyer, and Ida DeVito. Performing at football games, where they not only twirled intricate moves, but danced to jazz, waltz, and polka tunes, the twirlers added to the appeal of our great band. One of the many outstanding features was performed at our last football game where arrows, fire, and In- dians formed the motif. Our majorettes accepted the opportunity to appear at the Mineola Fair, and march in the Little League Parade, and also march at football rallies, in addition to the hand concerts and Memorial Day Parade. Three New York State first prize blue ribbons were awarded to each girl for her twirling ability: at the same time they were judged as the largest and best squad on Long Island. Included in this latter honor were the Junior Varsity twirlers who totaled 100 this year, an all time high. Lawrence High School certainly has a twirling squad of which it can be proud and happy.

PROBABLY one of the best-konwn and most active organizations at Lawrence is the Mixed Chorus. Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Carver, this group is constantly engaged in rehearsal for one of its many functions. This year, the Chorus welcomed an additional director. Miss Muriel Barrie. Her presence has alleviated Miss Carver’s overwhelming job. Flie first performance by the Mixed Chorus this fall was at a variety show given by the Dad’s and Booster’s Club. Next on their agenda was the traditional Christmas program which included such favorites as “Carol of the Bells” and ’’ File Night Before Christmas. This year the Chorus’ annual production was in the form of an operetta, Victor Herbert’s “Sweethearts.” Following true to form, the Mixed Chorus put on an excellent shov . Other activities of the group included performances at the Brotherhood Musicale, the Honor Society inductions and June Night. Leading the Chorus this year were President Harvey Cranat, Vice-President Joseph Mazza, Secretary Ida DeVito, and Treasurer Laura Kaplan. Accompanying at the piano for all events were Judy Lieherman and Edith Slovshek. GENERAL CHORUS ANYONE who should happen to pass by the Music Room when the General Chorus was singing, would undoubtedly be surprised and pleased by the strains of music meeting his ears. Although one must acknowledge some sour notes hit at times, the General Chorus has been a hard-working group and has many rewarding results. Good results are always forthcoming under Miss Garver’s patient guidance. To tune up, the chorus usually starts with a few music scales. Then they get down to business and really start singing. Their repertoire includes many pieces ranging from a hook of collected songs to Fred Wa ring’s arrangement of “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” In February, the Combined Choruses of Lawrence sang in the Annual Brotherhood Musical Concert. The selections were: “One Nation,” “Praise Ye the Lord,” “America, Our Heritage,” and, “Rock-a-my-soul.” Also in February there was an addition to the Music Department. Miss Muriel Barrie became Miss Garver’s assistant, and was welcomed by all. First row—Shames, Andrews, Miss Garver, Miss Barrie, Schechter, Katz.

T 'em while they're young is a good motto whether it pertains to picking stringbeans or picking singers. The Freshman Chorus is an illustration of this for Miss Carver feels that a training period is necessary if a student wishes to go further with singing. Actually the pronoun “his” is inappropriate, since the F'reshman Chorus this year was composed of girls. The Freshman Chorus worked primarily on learning to sing in parts, and they were able to show off their talents and the teaching of Miss Carver at the Brotherhood Musi-cale and at a Christmas Program to which they invited a select few. Miss Barrie. Miss Carver’s assistant, organized a sextet from the Freshman Chorus who sang her own arrangements of such songs as Blue Moon and “Bye-bye Baby. This chorus is the first step to the Mixed Chorus. 93 First rmc—Ackerman, Allentuek, Mayer, (riles. Hall, Tullman, Zenn, Virario. Second row-Barnett, kones Hirsch, Poster, (rranat.

BUSKINS 0 be (a Buskineer) or not to be (a _1_ Buskineerl that is tlie question”— that is the question Buskin judges ask themselves every year, for to be in the Buskins a student must try out and prove bis ability. Under the dynamic direction of .Mr. Daly this talented group bad a productive year. To add to the enjoyment of the meetings the members performed in skits and at the end of the year the club went to New York. Of course the biggest undertaking of the year was the Buskin Tournament, held on December 16. Three one act plays were presented and each revealed an entirely different type of life. The first play was “So W onderful! I In W hite),” by N. Richard Nusbaum. The action took place in the Common Room of a School for Nurses. It made us aware of the trials and tribulations that are involved in the nursing profession. Peg Carlson, an undergraduate nurse, has devoted herself to a life of sacrifice, but is not prepared for the hard- ships she must face. When her friend becomes a dope addict and commits suicide. Peg is on the brink of despair and thinks of giving up nursing; however, the idealism of a young girl causes Peg to change her mind, and she continues her training with new faith and determination. Fhe second presentation was Oscar W ilde’s immortal story, “The Birthday of the Infanta.” The scene was set in the Royal Castle where the Infanta of Spain was celebrating her birthday. For her pleasure, a deformed dwarf who had never seen the outside world was brought to entertain. When the dwarf saw his ugly' image in the mirror, lie became so despondent that be died of a broken heart. The third play was the nerve-shattering “Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. It dealt with the ancient custom of presenting a human sacrifice to insure a good crop. It showed the results of fear of departing from tradition. The dramatic climax filled each member of the audience with an almost unbearable feeling of suspense. This year the Buskins deviated from their usual tradition of presenting straight drama 94 “Give me that vial! Mr. Daly—“semper fi-delis. Tragedy of unrequited love. The Infanta. and, in addition to the plays,” gave “A Musical Salute to Broadway.” The script was written especially for the Tournament by members of the Buskins. The musical was divided into four parts and each part was devoted to an outstanding American composer. Tribute was paid to the team of Bodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter. Ceorge Gershwin, and Irving Berlin. The very able soloists presented selections from such all-time favorites as “Oklahoma,” Can-Can.” “Porgy and Bess,” and “White Christ mas.” Credit must he given to Harvey Granat and Arthur Davis, who wrote and directed the entire script. It was not only an enjoyable experience for the audience hut also good experience for the two hoys and all those who helped them. The Tournament was an event that will long be remembered in the annals of Lawrence High. For some the Tournament ami the Buskin organization itself was just an enjoyable high school experience worth remembering with a little smile in later years, hut to some it might prove to he the stepping stone to greater things: as for all the Buskineers, they heartily agree The play’s the thing.” 95 First row■—Kaminsky, Andrews, Muzzillo, Engldnmlt.

SCHOOL COUNCIL THL School (Council of Lawrence High, ably supervised by Mr. Simmonds, plays a very important role in many of the affairs of the school. The four officers of each class, together with the four class advisers, representatives from the Lawrencian, the Mental Pabulum, the Marshals, and the Honor Society comprise the council. To serve as a representative unit of the entire student body and to offer various opinions and suggestions pertaining to matters of importance to the school is its purpose. Thus the sound education practice of allowing students some voice in the functioning of their school is very definitely present at Lawrence. Among the various undertakings of the Council this year was a discussion of the curtailment of cheating and cutting classes. Some very worthwhile conclusions were reached, and these, if made clear to the entire student body, should prove very beneficial to both the individual and the school. Another worthwhile venture, which will greatly avail the community as a whole, is the selling of Amer- ican flags. Through this plan not only will money he raised hut patriotic feeling in the vicinity will he furthered. Finally, a very perlexing problem which has arisen in recent years is that of conduct at basketball games. The Council endeavored to remedy the situation by suggesting a program of stricter punishment for the numerous hecklers and booers present at every game. This will, no doubt, make the games more enjoyable. Although the School Council may seem relatively obscure to many at the present time, it is a very integral part of Lawrence High. Through the continuance of its fine work in the future much can and will he accomplished, and invaluable service will be rendered to our school and community— ‘ isdom is the principle thing, hut with thy wisdom get understanding. 96 AT any Lawrence High School athletic event one is never in doubt as to who made a tackle or a basket. Due to the Announcers Club this information is broadcast throughout the stadium after every play. The group is selected at the beginning of the school year and in order to be a member one must have a good speaking voice and a knowledge of the different games. Aside from its benefits to others, broadcasting is very beneficial to the participating students. They gain much experience in public speaking and also a wider knowledge of the usage of Public Address equipment. This year the club was small, its members being David Inkeles, Terry Berle, and Mike Graham. MOV 1ES, slides, film strips and other means of audio-visual communication are invaluable aids to teachers because they make teaching easier and to pupils because they make learning easier and more interesting. Under the direction of Mr. Farrell Berle the members of the Audio-Visual Aid Club learned how to operate the different machines and devices used in this field. Aside from this many of the members announced at football and basketball games. The members of the club gained practical knowledge of audio-visual equipment and if they do nothing else with this knowledge at least they’ll all be able to show home movies properly.

The Physics Club under Mr. Ferrara's direction spent many informal afternoons setting up complicated electrical circuits and mechanical devices. Mr. Ferrara believes that one can learn Physics best by actually doing what the text hooks explain. The members will attest to this theory. Mr. Leslie’s Astronomy Club studied and learned much about the stars, planets, seasons, lunar phases, and eclipses. The members spent many evenings training their telescopes out into the void to examine space— Man’s next great frontier. ASTRONOMY BIOLOGY First row- -Adler, Mr. Leslie, Gassenheimer. Second row—Wygod, Friedland. Schindel. Molinari. Schloss, Diamond. First row—Weisberg, Kones, Adler, Levine, Hajovsky. King, Kaminsky, Belcher. Edelson. Second row— Mallood. Quaytman, Englebardt, Novack. Mr. Alexander, Cittadino, Shearer, Rahstein. Bittan. The large Science Club under Mr. Ferrara’s advisership and Martin Pitt’s Presidency, learned much from all branches of science by means of lectures and discussions. The year’s highlight was a lecture given by I)r. Christian Anderson from Brookhaven. He spoke from personal experience about atomic energy. The discussion was ended on a hopeful note that science is Man’s servant, and that if Man uses science correctly, the ultimate benefits will be his. The Biology Club has made great progress this year in the completion of its laboratory manual which was begun last year. This manual shows how important plants and animals may be dissected for study. In addition to this project—the club had the most extensive live animal display since the club’s formation three years ago. These displays include: tropical fish aquariums, terraniums, hamsters which gave birth to seven little “hams,” turtles, and lizards. Mr. Alexander is the club’s faculty adviser, and Janies MaHood was elected Chairman. The Chem Club has had a very profitable year. The members have worked many times until late in the afternoon conducting experiments that to some would seem very odious. In the heart of every experiment with clothes stained and hair ruffled will be found Mr. Norstedt the ever-faithful, ever-interested adviser of the club. Mr. Ferrara's physics class.

The members have an opportunity to satisfy their scientific curiosity and put into practice textbook principles. Math Club THE main purpose of the Math Club is to show students the more practical side of classroom math. This year the club specialized in the exchanging of ideas within the group which was accomplished by having student and faculty speakers. Miss Moberg was the adviser and the officers were: President, Arnold Heiles; Vice President. Alan Edelson; Secretary, Roger Zissu; and Treasurer, Tony Robinson.

Hebrew Club % THE] list of activities offered by the Hebrew Club attracted many members this year. The purpose of the club was to develop a greater understanding of the history and culture of the Jewish People. This was accomplished through discussion programs, speakers, films, and singing and dancing to Israeli music. The club was expertly guided by Mr. Haber. The officers for the year were: David Helpern, President; Ira Schneider, ice-President; Kenneth Laub, Secretary; Steven Landow, Treasurer; and Avrom Doft, Program Chairman. Spanish Singing Club THE Spanish Singing Club, under the supervision of Miss Sadie Posner, had a very successful year. The aim of the club was to present an understanding of Spanish culture through music. W ith the assistance of painists, Lorraine Kryl, Barbara Loeb, and Marlene Mayo, the group sang such pieces as Noche de Paz and Venid Fieles Todos and the Spanish version of Pepsi Cola. Music is an international language and can be understood by anyone. The Spanish Singing Club took advantage of this and thus enjoyed themselves immensely.

The meetings included numerous Italian games, slides of Italy, guest speakers, and record sessions; outside activities consisted of Pizza parties (a tradition of the clubt, Italian movies, and a gay party at the end of the year. The club looks forward to an even more enthusiastic group next year who will continue to spread the rich culture passed on through centuries of time. French Club PARLEZ-VOUS FRANCA IS? You have to if you want to belong to the French Club. The purpose of the club is to create a true understanding of French language and culture therefore the meetings are conducted entirely in French. This year movies, games and song fests made the club entertaining as well as educational. To round out the year and to use the dues to advantage the club took a trip to New York, ate in a French restaurant and enjoyed a french film as has been the custom in past years. The officers cette annee derniere were John Suval, President: Judy Lieberman, Vice-President and Judy Novaek, Secretary-Treasurer. Mademoiselle Benson was the capable adviser.

Latin Cohorts THE Latin Cohorts, organized to again aid Caesar in his conquest of Gaul and the Second Year Latin students in their conquest of Caesar, accomplished quite a lot this year. The club has grown steadily larger and with a membership of about forty this year, it was possible to have many varied programs dealing with all phases and ideas of Roman life, such as mythology, and living conditions. Of course Caesar's life was also well represented at the club meetings and, to aid and amuse the members, word games were played. M iss Mabel Leavitt acted as adviser to the club. The capable officers were Kenneth Ratzan, President; Harold Gassenbeimer, Vice President: and Robert Strochak, Secretary-Treasurer. Latin Senatus THE Latin Senatus, organized under the able supervision of Miss Mabel Leavitt, enjoyed a very fine year due to the enthusiasm evidenced within the club. The meetings were held during the actual class periods and were, therefore, very well organized. The officers of the club were: James Pollack and Barbara Zenn, Consuls; Donald Part land, Scriba and David Pearce, Quaestor. Because the members were studying Cicero this year many of the programs dealt with his life: however, many other ideas were used as material for interesting club periods. These included Latin Scrabble, different types of competitions and papers on Roman Life. Due to the small number of members each one had a chance to plan and carry out a program.

Red Cross THE Junior Red Cross has been more active this year than ever before. The two highlights of the year were the annual fund-raising campaign and the Annual Senior-Faculty basketball game. Both were exceptionally successful. The major use made of the proceeds this year was the filling and sending of a wooden chest of necessary school equipment to some needy group overseas. While the money is raised by the fund campaign and basketball game, the Vocational department made the chest. Pencil Pushers THE Art Club has always been an active group since every member is vitally interested in art and contributes a lot of time and effort to the club. As a unit the group visited Greenwich V il-lage during the spring and individually they entered several art competitions. Under the capable direction of Mr. Page and the officers—Carol Herman, President; Harvey Quaytman, V ice President and Joan Cobh, Secretary-Treasurer, the Art Club enjoyed a successful year.

The capable officers were Florence Lisena, President; Prudence Stile, Vice President; Ida DeVito, Treasurer and Trudy Pearsall, Secretary. In order to become acquainted with the prospects after graduation, the girls took trips to several business schools. They also had guest speakers and discussions. Since most of the club members intend to go out into the business world this club was a valuable institution since it gave them the broader experience and knowledge which will help them to fulfill and maintain their future positions as secretaries. Clerical Club THE Clerical Club under the guidance of Mrs. Katherine Jack had a busy year. Its purpose is to prepare its members for jobs following graduation. It has undertaken several projects in the interest of better grooming which culminated in a trip to New ork to a modeling agency. Their activities included a Christmas Party and guest speakers. In addition to the regular class work this group has done a considerable amount of work for the faculty.

Men take it for granted that when they amble in the “little woman” will have a hot, tasty meal on the table, a big smile on her face and a sympathetic ear for listening to troubles. This should not be taken for granted as the job of being a homemaker and a knowing woman is definitely an art to be cultivated. In the Sub Deb classes this art is cultivated for future reaping. This year there were three Sub Deb classes First row—Glassberg, Weinstein, Froinkin, Loeb, Brenner. Second row—Isaacson, Jackson, Vogel, Sarett, Newman, Fisher. DEBS led by Miss Sloane and Miss Branilf. The clubs had discussions, speakers, projects, parties and even played bridge.

Miss Braniff’s sixth period class elected Judy .Marks, President; Barbara Loeb, Secretary and Phyllis Froinkin, Treasurer. Miss Braniff's first period class decided not to have officers.

There were twenty-four delegates from the Five Towns Branch. At this convention the representatives not only had a wonderful time, staying at private homes in Huntington, but gained new ideas on Y procedure as well. An event that was started this year and will be continued in following years because of its success, was the Hi-Y dance on December 11. This dance brought a great deal of money into the Y treasury; this money will be put to many uses.

VARSITY FOOTBALL UNDER the fine direction of head coach Mr. Ted Ciamillo and assistant coaches Mr. Jack Martilotta and Mr. Jim Pollard and the brilliant playing of its three A11-Scholastic players, the Lawrence High School varsity football team had one of its finest seasons. The Gold en Tornadoes started the season with a big 37-0 win over Farmingdale. They displayed a fine running and passing attack and a good defensive line. The first touchdown of the season was scored by Charlie Adams on a two yard plunge. The next Lawrence score came on a 40 yard pass play from Del Gais to Benedetto. Later the same play clicked for another score on a 25 yard pass. The last two touchdowns were scored by Charlie Adams and Del Gais behind some fine blocking. Traveling to Hempstead, the Tornadoes suffered their only defeat to a fine team by a 14-12 count, the last Hempstead score coining in the last 15 seconds of play. The first Lawrence score came on a 45 yard pass play from Del Gais to Adams. The last score came when Frank Perrino intercepted a Hempstead pass on the Hempstead 6 yard line and ran it over the goal for another tally. The next game found Lawrence up against a strong Baldwin team. Baldwin jumped into a 13-0 lead at the end of the first quarter hut Lawrence rallied to come out on top 26-13. Louie Hilton ran 54 yards for the first 112 Lawrence score and then Benedetto took a pass from Del Gais for another touchdown. The next score came when Hilton scampered 15 yards around end. The final tally came on a brilliant 97 yard run by Tony Carcaterra, who intercepted a pass on the Hempstead 3 yard line and breezed down the sidelines behind beautiful blocking by Nick De Sibio, Marco Benedetto, and Joe Del Gais. Next to go down before the fine Lawrence team was the strong Freeport eleven. In a close game, Lawrence scores came on a Freeport fumble which Hilton pounced on in the end zone and on a plunge off left tackle by Del ( ais. The final score: Lawrence 12—Freeport 7. The Golden Tornadoes then traveled to Glen Cove where they were held to a 0-0 tie on a mud-soaked field that hampered their attack. Playing host to upstate Kingston, Lawrence came up with its fourth win by a 39-6 count. Del Gais started the scoring with a dash through left tackle that covered 16 yards. Vie then passed to Benedetto for another score on a play that covered 47 yards. The rest of the touchdowns wrere scored by Adams, Hilton and Stark. Lawrence then rolled up a big 53-0 win over Great Neck, scoring two touchdowns in each period. Pete Cimino and Alex Stark scored two each; Carcaterra, Adams, Del Gais and Benedetto each scored once. Fine 113 Cimino scores (mother touchdown. Come on, Laurence! Mr. Ciamillo and Mr. Martilotta. blocking and tackling throughout the game by I)e Sihio, Super, Vota, and Smith held the opposition scoreless. Next Lawrence traveled to Firemans Field on Thanksgiving Day to heat a fine Valley Stream team 27-0. Del Gais played his best game scoring twice and throwing two touchdown passes to Benedetto who made spectacular catches on both of them. Others who played particularly fine football throughout the season were Arthur Max, Andrew' Samuelson, Warren Miller, Alan (Butch) Stocknoff, Bill Groom, and Florian Capobianco. Congratulations are in order for all the boys and coaches for a fine season: they have made their school very proud. Our captain and Mr. Nathan• son. Beginning a victorious season.

Football team played exceptionally well this year, “it was ail enthusiastic team,” said Mr. Uhlar, “and the hoys pot a chance to play who thought they weren’t good enough.” This year's team should holster next year’s Varsity team. Two good prospects are Harvey Avadon and John Askew. Many hoys just need that extra bit of experience to become good Varsity players and with the fine experience they’ve gained this year one can he sure that the hoys will keep the Golden Tornadoes on the winning side of the ledger. THE Freshman Football team and coach Herman Wild went out onto the gridiron this year full of vim and vigor, but the victories were hard to find. From the fine showing they put up, Mr. ild is sure that these players will make good J. V. and Varsity material because they learned the hard way about tactics and sportsmanship. It is hoped that in the future more hoys will belong to this squad—the cradle of the Varsity team. FR ESI IM A N BASK ETB ALL First row—Halperin, Haber.

VARSITY BASKETBALL THIS year at the beginning of November, Lawrence again began to put together a basketball team; and it was a team in the full meaning of the word. These boys worked and played together with everything they had. Returning from last year’s power-packed team were only three letter men, Tony Car-caterra, Joel Shapiro and Nick DeSibio, but to these Coach Zimniie Natlianson added boys like Marco Benedetto, Arthur Kopit, and Terry Farina, who played with spirit unmatched by any other Lawrence team. Though this team was one of co-operation not individualism, one boy, Tony Carcaterra, did stand out. Averaging 22 points a game, Tony set a Lawrence High School scoring record. He was a terrific threat under the boards where he led the league in rebounds, lor such play he was unanimous choice for All Scholastic in many newspapers. The season opened with our traditional game against Woodmere. At one period, Lawrence was losing by 14 points but they rallied and tied the score only to lose the game. The team, on thrashing Massapequa equalized their loss to Woodmere with a 76-50 score. In the Long Beach game, Lawrence, trailing by 3 points with 30 seconds to go in the last quarter, put on an amazing bit of ball handling and won the game on a layup by Joel Shapiro. When the final buzzer of the year was beard, Lawrence had a 7-11 record, but it can truly be said that if any future Lawrence team can match the spirit of this year’s team, even if they don’t have a spectacular win and loss record, they will be an outstanding credit to their school. 116 VARSITY BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Lawrence 50 Lawrence 63 Lawrence 56 Lawrence 76 Lawrence 53 Lawrence 45 Lawrence 62 Lawrence 61 Lawrence 60 Lawrence 57 Lawrence 71 Lawrence 70 Lawrence 84 Lawrence 79 Lawrence 56 Lawrence 49 Lawrence 57 Lawrence 77 oodmere 56 Ma.'sapequa 51 Lonji Beach 67 Vi oodmere 50 Long Beach 52 Lynhrook 65 Mepham 64 Levittown 57 Hempstead 62 Sewanhaka 69 Valley Stream 58 Freeport 85 Ma.'gapequa 50 V alley Stream 72 Mepham 54 Hempstead 17 Sewanhaka 68 Freeport 94 The Lawrence High School J.

Among the prominent players Ken Ratzan and Don Part land stood out for their clever hall handling, while Bobby Bloom's accurate eye kept the score in high figures. Frank Perrino, a Junior, starred at center position scoring a very high percentage of his shots: he was later promoted to Varsity basketball. Steve Landau and Joe Kaplan with the rest of the team also helped greatly in making the year a success. With this squad on hand, next year’s potential varsity team seems to have a very bright future.

Orenstein and Morse played alternately in the fifth spot. Strauch scored a large percentage of the points in each game, while Pasmantier ami Vi eiss were most effective netting from the outside. Intramural Basketball THIS year the Intramural Basketball League, under the direction of Mr. W alter Kretz, had a very successful season. Using a new system this year, having freshmen ami sophomore homerooms play against each other, and junior and senior homerooms doing the same, Mr. Kretz found that there was better competition and greater interest in the game. There were 11 teams in each of the two divisions. This year’s winning team. Team No. 7, was comprised of: Lewis, F.; Stark, A.; Tabris, M.: Weiss, E.: Suval, J.: Sontag, A.; Steni-ford, C.: Wescott, G.; Zelin, H.; Tremaine, A.: Sal kind. M. 1NTR A MUR AL B ASKETB ALI.

Under the guidance of coaches Frank Whitman and Jack Martilotta the squad trained enthusiastically for their first meet in early April. Utilizing the combined efforts of tbe many returning lettermen and promising newcomers, tbe coaches soon had the team in top condition. Veterans John Smith, Eddie W eiss and Charles Adams led the Lawrence trackmen in the sprints. Due to an unfortunate in jury, Joel Newman, one of the island's most promising sprinters, was forced to terminate his track career. Joel had contributed much to past Lawrence successes and the team missed him this year. I Hull hurdles. In the distance events Lawrence was fortunate to retain two of the conference’s top men: Mike Tabris and Bill Groom, who ran the 440 and the 880 respectively and received the recognition they deserved for their performances both in this and previous years. In the difficult hurdles Pete Cimino and Phil Riviat led the Lawrence squad. No track meet is complete without field events, and the boys in this department deserve proper recognition. In the Discus throw Bernie Hoffman and Lennie Blutreich tied for top honors, with Arthur Max heading the shot put department. Barry ocks and Tim Dalsimer headed the high jumpers while Fred Sellers completed for pole vault honors. On your murk ... 119 First row—Sehraeger, Carcaterra, Shapiro.

BASEBALL THK talent of the Varsity Baseball team was very promising this year. Coached by Herman Wild, the varsity had a big, eighteen-game schedule planned. Despite the loss of many of the powerful men of last year’s squad, the Tornadoes were still shaping up in fine style. File success of the club depended mainly upon the pitching staff, which was composed of Tony Carcaterra, Joel Shapiro, Ken Peyser, Tom Leonetti, and Marco Benedetto. Tony Carcaterra, who last year played shortstop, played both positions this year. Lenny Basile, second baseman, was one of the club’s hard hitters. Nick Desibio, who last year played left field, also helped the team oil the offensive. As a whole, the team consisted mostly of veterans. A great many of them were Seniors, yet there were a few promising Sophomores and Juniors. Mr. Wild had a fine squad of players who showed great co-operation and skill. He and our baseball team should be congratulated for their fine work. During the month of March and the early days of April, the J. V. squad began shaping up to meet their big ten game schedule. Coached by George Glenday, the J. V. team looked well prepared. Bed Karcinnell, playing the outfield, and Harry Jackson, catcher, were the prominent hitters of the team. Their pitching staff consisted of Lance Chinman, Joel Gewanter, Tom illiams and Arthur Zuckerman. Mr. Glenday was sure that they would hold the team’s defense together. These hoys had the spirit and the drive to make their squad the best. A bunt? 120 BOWLING First row—Organ. Peyser, Vairo. Second row—Mazza, Mr. W hitman, Arbolino. TENNIS First row—A.

They set the best record total in the history of Long Island high school howling. They also set the high game and high series this year for the second time in succession. Anthony Catalano took individual honors in the Section VIII tournament. His game of 23.1 and his series of 627 took first place. File team's averages were: Mazza 171, Peyser 169. Vairo 169, Catalano 169, and Arbolino 168. Tennis UNDER the able direction of Mr. Cameron, seven of the top tennis players of Lawrence High School handed together to form our tennis team. After viewing a few practices Mr. Cameron is sure that our school has one of the best teams in the vicinity. Golf WITH only two veteran golfers returning from last year's team and a new squad of about twenty-five boys trying out for tin team this year, VIr. Hirsch, the golf coach, can make no predictions as to the outcome of this season’s matches. Returning from last year’s team are captains Mike I)ritz and Dave Helpern. Some of the promising players appear to be: John Cittadino, Mike Eisenberg, Dave Inkeles, Ed McCarron, ami Don Bianco. SOFTBALL First row—Bradley, Martilolla. Second row—Scheii-ker, Berman, Johnson.

Victory throughout the season was due to the superb instruction of Miss Southward and the skillful strokes of our top players: A. Schenker, L. Pasniantier, L. Jack-son, L. Irvine, and L. Norris. Playoffs daily among all participants gave each girl the experience which brought success in all singles and doubles matches against Baldwin, South-side, Malverne, Oceanside, Lynbrook and Mepham. Since each member of the honor team will he out on the courts this Spring, it is certain that our Tennis team shall surpass its nearly perfect record. TABLE TENNIS First row- Loch, Strauss, Mukumal. Second row Henryson, Mr.-. Edwards, Barrow. Badminton ONCE again the “birdies” were Hying in our gym this winter. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Barber both experienced players and new ones rapidly acquired the advanced techniques of badminton which made possible a successful season. At East Hockaway, Lawrence won three out of five matches; at Malverne five out of six; and against Oceanside, six out of seven. The teams were represented at Lynbrook on Sportsday by Barrow, Berman, Levy, and Slater. Lawrence starred in three out of five matches. Our girls will have another chance to practice badminton this Spring with Mrs. Barber’s introduction of a third Spring sport. Table Tennis FOREMOST praise for progress during the winter months goes to one of the most successful Table Tennis squads we’ve ever had in Lawrence. Against Lynbrook our victory resulted from the hard playing of Sue Mukamal, Connie Barrow and Liz Henryson while at East Rock-away, Linda Strauss and Judy Birkhahn led the team. The Sportsday final placed Lawrence first among Freeport, East Rockaway, Mepham, and Lynbrook. Barbara Loeh and Ellen Levine paired up to win every match of doubles in the contest. For Mrs. Edwards, coach of the team, this undefeated day brought a stronger feeling of welcome than ever as it was her first sport at Lawrence. 122 BOWLING First rou-—Sell lief, Gerstein, Josephs. Second row— Kaplan, Mrs. Barber, Martilotta. Bowling ((OTRIKE 3” you’re out? For our Law-rence bowling team strike three was only the beginning. If you had gone to Fal-caro’s Bowling Alley on any Monday or W ed-nesday afternoon between November and March, you would have seen and beard the tumult of exuberant Lawrence girls. In the intra-school matches they lost two out of three games; however, constant practice brought constant improvement under the supervision of Mrs. Barber. The Honor Team starring Watts, Kaplan, Scldeif, and Slovshek howled on Sportsday and won three out of five matches. Volleyball VOLLEYBALL, following tradition, was the most popular girls’ sport of the 1954-55 season. Under the guidance of both Mrs. Barber and Miss Carroll, our girls eagerly displayed good sportsmanship not only as hostesses and visitors hut also as competitors within Lawrence. Although the Sophomore class alone proved victorious against Lyn-hrook, further practice brought success to the Seniors and Freshmen at Southside and to all four class teams against Freeport. Sports-day terminated the season and our Honor Team placed third with the help of such outstanding players as Liz Jackson, Anita Schenker (juniors); and Joyce Haber and Peggy Martilotta (seniors). BASKETBALL First row—Fiero, Slater, Benson, Gumbs, Pasmantier, Jackson. Second row -Riff, Levine, Mrs. Barber, Berman, Schenker, Johnson. Basketball AS the first semester drew to a close, our basketball teams were already chosen and prepared for forthcoming competition. Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Edwards, and Miss Carroll combined their efforts as coaches in showing the “hoopsters” the finer points of dribbling, passing, and shooting. The Junior class demonstrated its skills throughout the season; its choice players, Liz Jackson, Anita Schenker, Lyn Berman, and Barbara Slater, led our Honor Team on Sportsday. As seniors next year, these girls will undoubtedly set an even higher precedent for future Honor Teams to uphold. VOLLEYBALL First row—Benson, Martilotta, Slater. Berman, Schenker, Bradley. Second row—Watts, Haber, McElveen, Mrs. Barber, Johnson, Jackson, Miss Carroll. 123 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS First row—Friedman, Bit-tan. Second row— Doubchan, Levy, Berg, Fischler, Greene, Harrow, I a mantier, Muz-zillo. Varsity Cheerleaders tWTT' -I-T-E. Are you ready, Lawrence? JT Let’s go!” And with that Sally and Sandy would (ling away their megaphones and join the other Varsity Cheerleaders in this familiar yell. Under the able leadership of the co-captains, Sally Friedman and Sandy Bittan, and the excellent guidance of Miss Elsa Moberg, the cheerleaders awakened and promoted remarkable school spirit. Dressed in their yellow and blue uniforms, these vivacious girls gave added spirit and zest to all football and basketball games. Various new cheers and formations were developed and wholeheartedly accepted by tbe rooters. Cheerleading has become an enthusiastic custom at Lawrence. The girls who are fortunate enough to make the squad put all their energy and effort into doing their job successfully and so we tip our hats to this year’s pert cheerleaders. J. V. CHEERLEADERS First row—DeVito, Shulof. Second row—Citta-dino. Bradley. Third row—Milberg, Riff. J. V. Cheerleaders SIX peppy girls, coached by Miss Elsa Moberg, made up tbe J. V. cheerleading squad this year. They were: Betty Cittadino. Captain; Madeline Riff, Florence Milberg, Joyce Bradley, Kathy Shulof and Carol DeVito. The girls cheered for the J. V. basketball squad at all tbe games. They practiced three afternoons every week for two months to get familiar cheers down pat and to learn and master new ones. The J. V. cheerleaders added that extra bit of color and vitality so important at athletic events. The rooters gave the girls confidence by joining in enthusiastically with all their cheers. 124 Gym Lc a lrrs 0 EVERY 8port8-niinded girl in Lawrence Hi«:li School aspires to be a gym leader as well she might for membership in the club is an honor. To be eligible for membership a girl must participate in at least two sports a season and must show good sportsmanship at all times. At their bi-monthly meetings in the cor- Douhle exposure. reel ion room the gym leaders learned how to conduct a gym class, how to officiate in sports and how to use the various gym apparatus. This year the officers of the club were: Judy Weiss, President; Peggy Martilotta, Vice President; Anita Schenker, Secretary, and Joyce Haber, Treasurer. Typical girl's gym class. And they're off! 125 “Crude School wus never like Everybody’s friend. Sauerkraut? thisr Happy hours spent in Room '125. Relumnd! SCHOOL LIFE WE, the class of 1955, are finally getting a look at ourselves as we were four short years ago. Every year we’ve looked at the incoming Freshmen hut never could we quite appreciate their position as we do in this, our Senior year. This year’s Freshman class entered Lawrence September 8. School routine began almost immediately after the orientation meeting with Mr. MaHood, Miss TeflFt, ami Mr. Davison. The Marshals showed the Freshmen the complicated technique of opening lockers and finding their classes. Several assemblies were held to further acquaint the “Frosh with their new “home away from home.” Soon after school began, great school spirit was evident among the student body. Not only were the inevitably enthusiastic Freshmen excited; even the sophisticated Sophomores and Juniors displayed the same emotions. This feeling was brought on by the football team, 128 T airier rourulu p ! Bench tension Mr. Mazzu checks boiler room. one of the best in many years. When the team completed its season on Thanksgiving Day, the whole school glowed with pride. The Buskin Tournament gave the Freshmen another reason for being glad they had come to Lawrence. Under Mr. Daly’s guidance the group put on three excellent one-act plays. By New Year’s they knew each other and the school better, thanks to a dance given for the Freshmen by the Parent Teachers Association. Better adapted, they found high school less trying though more involved. Senior Day gave the Freshmen their greatest choice to become acquainted with the Seniors who might have seemed distant and superior before. The student teachers were just as shy in class as the Freshmen had been their first days in school. Of course thev missed the most fun because they could not see the Senior Skit that was unusually hi- 129 Do you speak piano geometry? larious. In March the Mixed Chorus presented “Sweethearts,” an operetta by Victor Herbert. Some of the strain was taken from Miss Carver’s shoulders by the assistance of Miss Barrie, a new teacher at Lawrence. The affair was a success and a great satisfaction to tlie chorus members who had worked so bard to put it on. Then spring approached with track and baseball taking the time of most of the boys. The girls again began softball and tennis practice. The girls’ new gym teachers, Mrs. Edwards and Miss Carroll, made life a lot easier for Mrs. Barber. On April 1, the Seniors performed “The Night of January 16th,” an unusually dra- Fuse Fixing. matic play. The Seniors who worked so hard really left the school a fine memory of their ability to rise to a situation and meet it admirably. Naturally their eagerness would not have been enough without the aid and cooperation of Mr. Daly. This Freshman year has been much the same as any other. The departing Seniors are on a new threshold and in a similarly awkward situation as are the new students. 1 he class of 1955 is also much like any other; their fears ami apprehensions are not unusual. But no one can ever become bored looking at or studying their emotions. May the class of 1958 have all the success and happiness that life can afford. Good luck from the Class of 1955. 130 Mr. Coleman talks about “Montgomery Presents On Laurence! 131 VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT STATISTICS prove that 66 per cent of tin working force in the United States does manual work. It is the belief of our school leaders that the people who make up this large percentage of our workers, should receive a good education both in their profession and in regular school subjects. Accordingly, Lawrence High School has been equipped with one of the finest vocational departments in long Island. Many people are ignorant about our Vocational Department, and they think that all the hoys do is fool around in the shop all day. This is not so! The hoys receive a regular education besides learning a trade. English, practical science, history, and vocational math are some of the subjects that they receive for half of the day. The other half of the school day is spent in the shops, where emphasis is placed on courtesy, co-operation, and promptness, all necessary in relationship with other tradesmen and in the production of an excellent job. During the first two years, the student is given a twenty-week exploratory course in each of four different shops. At the end of his sophomore year, the student decides what profession he would like to enter and is then put into the shop relating to this trade. Under the guiding hand of Tr. Eckardt Beck, the department head, the program of the vocational department is very flexible, and the courses offered can he applied to a great many fields. Some of you, who have study halls or classes on the Far Hockaway side of the school, might have been studying hard or thinking about a test when all of a sudden the road of a motor interrupted vour train Mr. Su ords instructs machine shop apprentice. A familiar scene in the woodwork shop. A vocational student enjoys his work. of thought. This was the doing of the auto mechanics shop and its teacher, Mr. Fleming. In this shop, the auto mechanics students learn everything about an automobile through practical experience. Students work either on teacher’s cars or on those of other trusting individuals. With actual autos to work with, they obtain the confidence and training necessary for earning a living once they have left school. Mr. Mattison’s carpentry department is an interesting place to visit. The construction of houses on full and small scales comprises part of a pupil’s activity in this class. The proper use of tools and the production of other wooden articles rounds out the course. Because of the present and future demand for housing, carpenters have an essential part to play in supplying this demand. The acety lene torch seems to highlight Mr. J c c King’s sheet metal and welding shop. In this department as well as in Mr. Sword’s machine shop, a visitor marvels at the numerous machines available to the vocational students. In Mr. King’s class, metal working and riveting are taught: while in Mr. Sword’s machine shop, the use of lathes, milling machines, and drill presses is studied. Anyone walking into Mr. Clarkson’s electrical shop would he “shocked” by the activity. Here students study the theory and effects of electricity by assembling and disassembling of appliances such as toasters, radios, and irons. Mr. Marosv’s mechanical drawing class is also open as an optional course for the vocational students. In this course the hoys learn how to blueprint the objects which they or other students will be making in the shop. After four years of intensive practical training, a student in this department is fully prepared to enter his choice of vocation. Student prepares for future employment. A machine-shop specialist. Prospective industrial tycoons. HOME ECONOMICS LAW RENCE has one of the finest high school Home Economics Department. Miss Sloane is the head of the department as well as the supervisor of the cafeteria. Mrs. Flynn and Miss BranifT are in charge of the cooking and sewing. The purpose of the Home Economics Department is not only to prepare the young women for their future jobs as wives and mothers but also to teacb them the skill of sewing and cooking. Also included in these courses are the care of children, management of the home, interior decoration and home nursing. The girls become aware of the importance of this training and learn their tasks quickly and easily. Excellent facilities are provided for the girls. The cooking department has a large well-equipped room where the students work in small groups. Here they are able to receive individual attention which is always a great advantage. Along with cooking skills the girls are taught to set an attractive table and plan appetizing meals which are also nourishing. The pleasant aromas from the cooking department are proof enough of the success of their culinary endeavors. The apartment with its home-like atmosphere is completely furnished and includes a living room, dining room, bedroom, bath, and kitchen. The girls are responsible for keeping it neat and clean, which they do expertly. The apartment is the ideal place for the girls to learn about the home and its responsibilities. Very often it is the scene for parties, clubs, and meetings. The Sub Debs classes also meet in the apartment where, under the leadership of Miss Sloane and Miss BranifT, they discuss preparation for marriage, care of children, and the many problems of today’s Mrs. Flynn gives sewing instruction. A stitch in time ... 134 An expert seamstress busy at work. young women. Here they also learn how to prepare well balanced meals. In the sewing department with its spacious well-equipped room, the girls are taught the fundamentals of sewing and designing. All the cushions, curtains, and drapes were made by the girls. At the same time the students are given the opportunity to make clothes for themselves. Many of these dresses have that professional look. They also learn to distinguish between different fabrics. The girls are encouraged to select the right styles best suited for them and to choose suitable wardrobes. In tbe fashion shows, which are given very often, the girls are given the chance to see the other styles which have been made and obtain new ideas. I bis class is very much appreciated by the girls because of the many tilings it teaches them, things which are so important for the future. The confidential discussions have proved to be a definite aid in dealing with marriage and the building of a secure and happy basis for the future. The girls are urged during their four years in Lawrence High School to take advantage of the myriad courses given in the Home Economics Department. These courses certainly offer a wonderful background for all young women interested in any phase of homemaking. Clcan-up time! Just a feu more minutes. 135 Add sugar and mix uell. COMMERCIAL OUR train now stops in the Commercial Department of our school. Here, under the direction of Mrs. Katherine B. Jack, head of the department, and assisted by Miss Katherine Koerber and Mr. Ernest Hirsch, students are trained for many positions in the business world. Students may choose courses that will train them for positions in the fields of stenography, bookkeeping, and clerical work. The field of stenography is one of great popularity. Students, mostly girls, are given instruction in Gregg Shorthand, typing, and practice in operating office machines such as the mimeograph, adding machine, dictaphone, and electric typewriters. Such courses as Introduction to Business, Business Arithmetic, and Bookkeeping are offered to those who enjov working with figures and who would like to work as bookkeepers, pay roll clerks, and in many other positions. As in the Academic, A ocational, ami Homemaking courses, there are electives in the Commercial Department. One of these is Business Law. Another elective is Personal I yping. I his course is given for one semester, in which time students are prepared for future college work. As our train leaves, it leaves a department that is well equipped both with competent teachers and abundant facilities, and it leaves students who, upon graduation, are able to take their places in the business world. Secretarial Practice Club gives tea jHirty. Miss Koerber's transcription class. Mr. Hirsch gives winters in Husiness Arithmetic class. Adding machine techniques. Report Card blues. Physics students.

This course includes English, History, Math, Science and Languages and is designed not only to get the student into college hut also to keep him there. Each teacher tries to make his particular course interesting and varied but he must also look ahead to the end of the year to the Regents. These exams are designed for the average or a little-above-average student. Another series of tests are the College Board Entrance Examination Tests. These tests are designed to determine a student's general aptitude and his achievement in several different fields. Still another test is the New York State Scholarship Exam, which covers everything from the knowledge of Interior Decoration to the Law of Segregation. A good academic department in high school is a necessity for the students wishing to gain J c r the most out of college. Lawrence High School is fortunate in having an exceptionally fine one. The Heads of these departments are Miss Kelley. English: Miss Griffith, History: Mr. Simmonds, Math: Mr. Aimer, Science, and Miss Leavitt.
