51.111013 Paul Coker, Student Council Representative, Bobby Gerard, Vice President, Ruth Hurwitz, Russell, President. All graduating classes of Lawrence High are outstanding. This is a well known and little con- tested fact. However, the class of '47 feels it has a claim to the title of one of the most outstanding of these classes. Few groups, if any, could out do thcm in the fields of art, music, athletics, and dramatics. Their scholastic standing is high and they have never lacked the necessary amount of initiative or originality to carry out their tasks. They began their senior year with the ambition to make it the best one the school has knowin and many believe they met this goal. The Senior Assembly was the first opportunity for the seniors to show their talent and creative ability. The Shooting of Dan McGrew was a real triumph. Mary Wilkins made a mighty luscious Loug Bob Milliken was a scream as Dan, and Gene Rur- sell could probably have won the academy awaid for his portrayal ot' the Stranger. A large measure ol' the success of the assembly was due to Paul Coker and l red Six. These two boys have formed a team all through high school which couldn't be beaten when it came to planning an assembly, a publicity stunt, or a school pa1'ty. ldifteein senior boys received the coveted HL for their hard and brilliant play during the football season and many gained letters in basketball and track. In the field of athletics, Dick Johnson, as well as many others, has brought the senior class great honor and pride. Dick received a letter in both basketball and track when he was a freshman. He has lettered in football, basketball and track every year since. Bob Near, another outstanding' athlete, also received All-State football honors. Four other seniors were named on the second team and for honorable mention. As is the custom, the homecoming queen and her attendants were again senior girls. The Whole school felt proud of the poppy little senior, Barbara Secietaryg Robert Near, Treasurer, Gene Street, who Was their queen. Seniors managed to get their share of the parts in the all-school dramatic productions. lt would be hard for an ol' us to for 'et Itosemarv Buehler y . . , ' . as the grandmother in A Little lloney ' or Shirley Stewart as Delores Me l9ll2ll1llll0l', the cook, in the . . same play. The Senior play, later in the year, was a never-to-be-forgotten success. The varsities, all-school parties, and the Pep Club parties were all successes due to the seniors who were in charge ot' each. We said the seniors were not to he outdone in the fields of art ami music. In what other classes were there artists to measure up to Rosemary Bueh- ler, Kenneth Jennings and Paul Coker. No one can say that the class was not well represented in the orchestra, band, and dance band by talented nmsi- cians. None of us will forget the Hi-Y Thanksgiving assembly in which we were all stirred so deeply by Bill Orr's singing of The Lord's Prayer. The Senior Class sponsors were very helpful and cooperative. Through their hard work the senior assembly, the commencement exercises and baccalaureate se1'vice were all successes. Mr. Logs- don, Mr. Watson, Mrs. Buehler, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Breithaupt, Miss McDonaugh, Mrs. Van Bebber, Mrs. Cornwell, Mr. Woodard, and Mr. Gillum were the senior sponsors for this extremely active year of '46 and '47. Each graduating senior feels extremely fortun- ate in having attended a school with the high stand- ards and good times Lawrence Iligh has offered. They realize that they have been taught by the best teachers available. Also they are grateful for the broad minded outlook the school has had toward activities. They feel that these activities have help- ed to make them the good citizens that the world of tomorrow will need.
