X 1942 1943 1944 OLD BAPTIST CHURCH IN APPONAUG A group of enthusiasts of East Greenwich and Old Warwick got together in December. 1744, to form a church. Benjamin Pierce was ordained minister when it was finally erected opposite the present residence of C. R. Hill, Esquire in Apponaug. lt was H28 feet long by 26 feet wide and two stories high . Through some change in Elder Pierce's religious sentiment and because there was a lack of parishioners, the church was dissolved twice and subsequently went to decay for many years. There are a few people remaining today who remember assembling to hear the lengthy sermons.

THE RHODE ISLAND HONOR - SOCIETY Membership in the Rhode Island Honor Society is the most courted achievement of any high school senior. It isn't an organ- ization he has worked for a year to join. It is the reward of maintaining an average of eighty-ive per cent or better during the four high school years. Their efforts are recog- nized by the entire school at the Honors Day Assembly held after the third marking period. There they receive a membership pin, a pin they will always proudly wear. Congratulations, honor students, may you remain on your high level in after years. In so doing you will keep the respect and ad- miration your classmates have for you now.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Let us turn back the pages of history to the almost forgotten time when the class of '42 entered Lockwood as insignificant seventh graders. For the first few weeks our new surroundings were totally strange. Bewil- dered, many of us were seen wandering a- round helplessly, or rushing around banging into people, without any regard at all for even Seniors, However. it did not take long before we came into our own and established ourselves as somebody, although not recog- nized by our lofty upper-classmen as yet. The next year, as eighth graders and with a brighter outlook. since our ranks had been swelled and we could now look down upon the seventh graders, we surprised everyone except ourselves by winning the Junior One- Act Play Competition with Great Caesar. The next year we again captured the honors, this time with Imagination By this time we had not only established ourselves in dramatics but in other school organizations as well. At last came the long awaited year when we became a part of the senior high school. We shocked the Juniors and Seniors by tak- ing the much coveted prize in the Play Com- petition right from under their noses. We began our Junior year in rather dire financial difficulties. but we survived the storm of money worries. Our Junior Prom, with its spring setting, fountain. and flowers, was declared a great success. Now we come to the last milestone in the road toward our goal. We are full-fledged seniors. with vears of achievement behind us and the future before us. Our year has been a great success, for our Senior Play, Ever Since Eve , was widely acclaimed. The Junior-Senior Ball and our Banquet were en- joyed by many. We have reached the final goal-Grad- uation-the crowning glory. We. the class of '42, may well look back over our years with satisfaction and be able to say. We did our best-we gave our best-for Lockwood High. HoPE LAwsoN, '42
