 Only a moment; a moment oj strength, of romance, of glamour—of youth! ... A flick of sunshine upon a strange shore, the time to remember, the time for a sigh, and—Goodbye!” Joseph Conrad Foreword WHILE we of the 1961 graduating cla:s we.e whiling away the past four years in whatever ways we saw fit, the world was undergoing some important changes. Certainly we were not bypassed by this universal march of progress, for we have been blessed with a brand new, ultra-modern school. It is to this building and its construction that our I.AWRENCIAN has turned its attention. We of the Senior Class feel grateful that we have been granted the privilege of being the first to graduate from the new High School. We have enjoyed our last days here—those when the blizzards of '61 did not force us to remain reluctantly at home—and have emerged richer in knowledge, happy that we have had the experience of receiving the best in education. Our spacious new school has been a pride to us whenever visitors have entered our hallowed halls. Yes, opportunity has indeed knocked upon our door. You should now consider the question: what does your yearbook mean to you? To a great many of us it signifies the agreeable surprise that we managed to survive the past four years, and believe it or not (we’re sure a great many still don’t), emerge victorious.

The Bridge of San Louis Rey Thornton Wilder THIS year we mourn the loss of LOIS DICKSTEIN, a dear friend and classmate. Many of us knew her well; even those who knew her casually miss her. Always looking ahead, Lois couldn't understand why people looked back. She lived in the present and for the future. She had great school spirit and was a cheerleader for her sophomore and junior years. Lois joined many extra-curricular activities and developed a great enthusiasm for sports. She loved the theater and became a member of Buskins in her freshmen year. To study acting technique, Lois took drama courses outside of school. In college she wanted to further her study of this medium, to bring her star within reach. That was to be the star on her dressing room door. During her lifetime, Lois did what she wanted to do. This, her way of living, should be an inspiration to all of us and a lesson which teaches that every minute of life is golden. Lois Dickstein o
