I hear that the Class of '25 are all represented there. A wonderful class, that! These were the last words I heard as I wrung the hand of my pal, Jim, and prepared to board my train for a momentous trip around the world-a commencement gift from my proud father to his son, an L.H.S. Senior of the Class of 1995, A wonderful class, I echoed as I took my seat in the day coach, and indeed it was! Had not its glory lived through the years at L. H. SH? Had not tales of its athletic prowess and its histronic ability become a part of the tradition of our dear school? Is it any wonder that I found myself some hours later eagerly searching the marble corridors of the Hall of Fame, reading about the following well remembered names?
