Lawrence High School - Red and Black Yearbook (Lawrence, KS)

DEDICATION With deep feeling, the graduating class of 1950 of Liberty Memorial High School dedicates the annual yearbook to a man who contributed much to our happiness and success as students during the three years in ibis school. Dr. Edward L. Novotny greeted us as superintendent of the Lawrence public school system when we first arrived at LMHS and it is with genuine regret that we cannot have him present to bid us farewell as we complete these three years of study and play. The students of LMHS lost a good friend and a fine leader last sum- mer when Dr. Novotny died unexpectedly. He was a true friend; kindly, warm, and sympathetic. During the three years he was superintendent of the Lawrence schools, he devoted his full energy to the improvement of the school sys- tem. The overwhelming vote of the people for a great expansion in the physical plant of our school was. to a great extent, a vote of confidence in Dr. Novotny. He contributed more than any other one man to the pro- gram which in a few years will bring to this community one of the finest high school buildings in the state. Those of us who arc leaving Liberty Memorial High School today will forever be grateful for the privilege of knowing this great personal- ity who devoted his full energy to making our lives happier and more successful. The class of 1950 proudly thinks of itself as a class sponsored and guided by Dr. Edward L. Novotny. 6
