WILLIAM A. HUTCHISON lt was with unutterable sadness that the people of Lewistown awoke on the morning of june I3, to find that during the early morning the death of Vvilliam A. Hutchison, city superintendent of schools, had occurred. The news of the eclucator's demise was especially shocking to the hundreds that had seen him only the night before participating in Class Day fun, he appar- cntly at that time being in the full flush of a vigorous, virile manhood. Following the pleasurable incidents of Class Day, he joining in the fes- tivities with the spontaneity and gaiety of a boy-a characteristic that helped to endear him to the hearts of all children-the city superintendent returned to his home and during the watches of the night his Maker touched his fore- head and summoned him to eternal rest. The death of William A. Hutchison occurring on the very eve of Com- mencement tinges the crowning event of the school year with the tragic. lt is hard to conceive of a more calamitous happening or one that could bring as much real sorrow into so many Lewistown homes. William A. Hutchison was a man of rugged honesty and fearless courage, with a heart as tender as a child's. He was just, he was considerate, he loved the right and hated wrong. He made a good fight in the great battle of life. He loved the school-it was a home to him. He was worthy of all the ambi- tions of his life. He was a scholar and always a gentleman. He was highly educated in the classics, in literature, in history-but what was more than any of these was his happy faculty of understanding and ability to reach the hearts of children, thousands of whom adored him. William A. Hutchison loved his country, his state, his schools, his home and his friends. As a man Dr. Hutchison was unassuming and retiringg as a citizen he was tireless in promoting the welfare of the community in which he lived: as a friend he was devoted, generous and kind. William A. Hutchison's familiar face will be seen no more in the schools or on the streets of Lewistown, his voice will be heard no more from the pulpit or from the orator's platform, but his memory will live on in the minds of the many that knew and loved him. He has gone to his reward. His place in the hereafter is assured. He acted well his part in life. His established char- acter and record of deeds well done entitle him to live not only in the fond and endearing memory of his fellow men, but also to a home of happiness in the eternity beyond.-The Sentinel.

FOREWORD Once more has Commencement arrived at l... H. S., and once more is the annual edi- tion of the Lore submitted to the public. This has been a year of many obstacles to over- come in the edition of the High School paper, but yet we feel we have come through with victory. Changing from a magazine four times a year to a monthly paper has been, at times, a very hard task. We of the Lore Staff, who will leave l... H. S., feel we are leaving the issue, Shall the Lore continue a monthly paper or magazine in competent hands. Knowing the hardships and criticism often endured by the staff on a school paper, we ask the student body to stand back of their paper, to give their hearty co-operation and help when possible. To boost, not knock. To all those who helped in any way, students, advertisers, teachers and Mr. Gibbs, we thank you. And we wish the best of luck, progress and success to L. H. S. and the Lore. To the Faculty of l... H. S. the Lore feels it owes a few parting thoughts. There may be times when discouragement at the shortcomings of students have al- most overwhelmed you, but with perseverance you try to overcome our faults and show us what is best for us. The Class of '23 may forget much text book lore, but they can never forget nor outgrow the tendencies for good that you have developed in our characters during the last four years. Often in the years to come our minds will turn back to you, to your faithful and patient teachings, and the kind endurances of us as shown by the advice and help of your counsel. Q Gracious teachers, if bewildered, We have halted by the way. If low bowing o'er our failures, We have lost hope's cheering ray: Then thy gentle guidance lending Thou hast bade us lift our eyes: And behold, the goal seemed nearer. Brighter shone the glorious prize.
