OR thirty-three years Miss Mabel Leavitt has been instilling the fundamentals of Latin in the students of Lawrence High School. For the past nine years she has served as Chairman of the Foreign Language De- partment. Throughout her career as a thorough and devoted teacher, Miss Leavitt has sponsored the Na- tional Honor Society, The Lawrencian and various language clubs at Lawrence. Retiring this year, she plans to live at her home in the Adirondacks near Lake Placid. When asked how she felt about Lawrence, Miss Leavitt replied, 'a'Lawrence has always realized the need and value of Latin and other foreign languages. Latin gives one a sense of perseverence and continuity of effort basic to one's high-school foundation. In apprecation for the many things Miss Leavitt has given the students here at Lawrence we dedicate the 1959 Lawrencian to her. 6 THANKS F0ll A Miss MABEL LEAv1'r'1'

J 0 B W E L L D 0 N E MISS DOROTHY GRIFFITH V fx,,f ETIRING this year after twenty-five years at Law- rence is Miss Dorothy Griffith., head of the Social Studies Department for the last fifteen years. Miss Griffith has done an excellent job in presenting various history courses, including one of the first L'Problems of Democracy courses on Long Island. Miss CriHith's future plans include travel, study and research in the fields which she has not yet found time to explore. In short Miss Griffith said, I want to do what I want to do when I want to do itf' In replying to our query concerning her reactions to teaching at Lawrence, Miss Griffith answered, wfeaching is a partnership between the teacher and the student. If either partner fails to do his share education can't exist. Results are only achieved with mutual understand- ing, and student cooperation here has been marvelous. In recognition for her many years of service to the school and student body, we dedicate the 1959 Law- rencian to Miss Dorothy Griffith. if 7
