1923 Red and Black The Old High School So it stands, with no complaint about its past youth, in blanched and meagre massiveness and serviceableness, gathering human souls together beneath it; the sound of its bell still rolling through the city; the grey peak of it seen far away,—the tower for life and the belfry for labor, and this for patience and praise.—John Ruskin. “What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul.” Page 3

1923 Red and Black Liberty Memorial High School Liberty Memorial High School, that tribute of the citizens of Law- rence to those boys who lost their lives in the World War, has been almost completed. By next September, work will have been entirely finished and the new school year will begin in the modern and thoroughly equipped structure. Liberty High is one of the finest school buildings in the state. There is a large gymnasium which will delight the athletic fans (no more long trips to Haskell on cold wintry nights.) There is also a huge audi- torium with a stage and stage settings and properties that will be an everlasting pleasure to the Dramatic Club. The class rooms are large, light, and well ventilated; the halls wide, and the laboratory rooms com- pletely equipped. There will be everything to make pleasant the lives of the students. The present Senior class has long cherished hopes that it would have the privilege of being the first class graduated from the auditorium but it seems that this honor will fall to the class of ’24.
