For Supt. Harry P. Smith, every student in the Lawrence Memorial High School feels most sincere gratitude, as it was through his untiring effort and deep interest that we now occupy our wonderful new home. Mr. Smith has always had our welfare nearest his heart, and has spent his four years as Superintendent of the Schools in bettering conditions for us. We, the Senior Class of 1924, greatly appreciate his worth and his friendship. For there was a Prophet to direct tho pilgrims; and lie. looking ever ahead, did so plan and guide their journey, that it came not to grief; and thus the pilgrims attained the promised land.

This caused a deep sadness of fare- well to mingle with the keen joy of attainment in their hearts, but they did gird on their armor and walk bravely forth. Now there were Citizens, who worked long and diligently, removing the obstacles from the Highway, that the journey of the Pilgrims might be more enjoyable.
