WUnUEOEEn
Mr.. John S. Laws, one of Wor-
cester's prominent teachers has
Just received two honors. He
was appointed Assistant Prin-
cipal of the Belmont Street
School this past month, and
June 3 he received his
Masters Degree in Education
from the worcester State Teach
ers College, With the confer
ring of this degree he is now
eligible for full principalship.
We can all be proud of his ac-
complishnents. He has proven
that wholehearted love Of ones
work is very rewarding. More
young people look to him to-
day, as the one who started them
off towards a well rounded fruit
full life. And now a real chal-
lenge is awaiting him with this
new opportunity. Among his
many activities he is Recording
Secretary Of the Worcester In
ter Racial Council in which he
has done an excellent job. He
is also Chairman of the Eliza
beth Craighead Scholarship
Fund, one of the main purposes
of the above organization. This
Council was started II years ago
by Miss Craighead, a school
teacher, to foster better rela-
tionS between all peoples with
what is called Home Meetings,
where people were able to really
get TO know one another over
a cup of coffee. When you find
persons active and performing a
good work in one organization
usually they can be found in
other worthwhile groups. When
te Worcester Citizens Plan "E"
Association was first formed
hany were encouraged TO work
with the group. Among the
charter members of this civic
group was Mr.. Laws who is now
on the Board Of Directors and
is also the Auditor. Several
years ago he worked with some
Of our young people in sports.
They had quite a basketball
team. From that he joined the
Worcester Skating Association
and is now their Secretary
Treasurer. Such activities do
not go overlooked. He was
asked to be a member Of the
Board of Directors of the newly
formed GreendaIe YMCA. His
knowledge Of young people is
certainly an asset in any group.
Keep up the good work Mr..
Laws.
