L OR E 19 27 Glayy fblrtofy 3 O fb T IS MY PRIVILEGE and honor tonight to acquaint you with the if illustrious deeds of the class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-seven 4 and to review them once again for our worthy friends, the Juniors. ff' Nfl On September 6, 1923, the usual calm atmosphere of L. H. S. was 6'w'9 disturbed by the entrance of a troup of verdant but eager Fresh- 'rf ' men. Of course to the upper classmen we were only poor little greenies -mere children. After a few weeks of wonder and excitement We put on new business airs and organized our class. The following officers were elected: President, Graflius Barr, Vice-President, Luella Metherillg Secretary, Florence Kulpg Treasurer, James Ferguson. After a hard battle we chose blue and steel for our class colors. We proved to be a worthy rival of the upper classmen. To L. H. S. we gave a debater who showed her ability as a member of the victorious debat- ing team. In the preliminary oratorical contest, a member won honorary mention. We did not shine in athletics as We met defeat in basketball, but with promises before us we decided to prove our ability in the future. As Freshies we gave the upper classmen a hard chase. At the and of a very helpful rest, the school bells resounded and the class of '27 again entered L. H. S. gay but serious Sophomores. We chose the following classmates to represent our class: President, James Ferguson, Vice-President, Luella Metherellg Secretary, Florence Kulp, Treasurer, Bob Nolte. Too much can never be said about our splendid success in athletics. Our class basketball team, captained by Ralph Wike, surpassed all other teams, and won the inter-class basketball championship, with a record of winning every game. The girls varsity boasted of four letter Sophomores. We also possessed literary ability as two of our classmates were in the varsity debating team, and another Sophomore won second honors in the preliminary oratorical contest. The social activity of the class was a Hallowe'en Party. Everyone who attended it had a wonderful time. Never once did we fail to be up to the mark. We sold the most tickets for the Senior Play. Time quickly passed and we were upper classmen, Juniors. With all the dignity that befit upper classmen we elected Robert Nolte, President: Luella Metherell, Vice-Pres., Florence Kulp, Secretary, James Ferguson, Treasurer. In this our Junior year, we gave unstintedly to varsity ath- letics and the Lore Staff. Indeed we did not loiter in the background in sports or any activity. Then came the crowning event of the year, the Prom, Of course it would take volumes to tell of the enjoyable time everyone had, and it was unsurpassable. At last our High School goal was in view, we were Seniors. Our worthy leaders have been President, Robert Nolte, Vice-President, Luella Metherillg Secretary, Florence Kulp, Treasurer, James Ferguson. In class and varsity we have supplied the majority of best athletes. Our class play CJ trfxfx x I L. 1-1. s.l ,-'L 'F' 0 FIFTEEN

Minnie Stutts and Elizabeth Harshbarger Are Commercial girls who work with ardor, Misses Markley, Hough and Eisenhower Will some day hold commercial power. Robert Picketts is one of our clowns But don't be near him when he frowns. Howard Brought and Ambrose Hile - Will tell you girls are not their style. Divinely tall and divinely fair, That's Mid Singer with smile so rare. Glenda, Jennie and loyal Helen, Misses Buckley, Snook and Mary Ellen Find the greatest of delight in study, When called upon they are always ready. Norman, George and Robert Shaw, Are boys in whom we find no fiaw. What a splendid pal from beginning to end, Our Hail fellow well met, is Alec our friend. Bobby Leister and Wilbur Kell can certainly play Their reputations as violinists are growing every day. Julia Coleman and Alma Brent Are always on some mischief bent. Originality has Margaret Heck As exchange editor she was always on deck. As pianists, Catherine Montgomery and Helen Lewis Have made us glad that they were with us. Lewis Headings is our shiek. For a better pal we'd never seek. At being late we've had hundreds of turns And that's no other than Mr. Claude Burns. A sweet young lass is dainty Chloe, We are sure Cooney would tell you so. Always faithful is Zola Winder And one young man was glad to find her. Harriet's journey is o'er the matrimonial sea, And we wonder who the man can be. Of Catherine Lyons too much we cannot say, For she certainly did her part in the Senior Class Play Ruth Notestine and Mildred Bell Are loyal members as one can tell. Hark to the praise of our class-mate Troy, In spite of his dignity he's a fun-loving boy. Friends, Roman, Country-men, lend me your ear, From Romaine, these are the words we hear. Veronica certainly loves to dance, Boys, beware of her rougish glance. Mildred Hurwitz and Hazel Reed Have helped in many a noble deed.

LORE 1927 QLASS KHISTOR Y fcontinuedj Rose of Tokio, in which every member of our class took part, was as every one will agree, the greatest play ever produced in L. H. S. All through this year we have worked ever forward' to the greatest event of the year, our Washington trip. We shall all remember that remarkable time. This closed our career in L. H. S. It is with mixed feelings of joy and regret that we look back through the years. The hand of the future beckons us, and we must answer her call and step on. Some of us will go out into the World to take up our tasks. Others will seek to prepare for the various professions. The class of '27 will always remain honest, upright and loyal to our Alma Mater, and we hope that the following classes will follow in our footsteps and revere the ideals set by us. GSENJQR CLASS CPLAY The 'QM gf Tokio The Class of '27 put the biggest and best musical comedy over the top on March 23rd and 24th. It Went over with flying colors and made a grand slam. First we go to Japan where a revolution has been instigated by Baron Kaneko CGraffius Barrj, a powerful and scheming nobleman. His machinations reach even to the beautiful garden of H. H. 1Robert Noltel, Mayor of Tokio, this being kept by the gardener, Wen A Su Games Fergusonj. The fairest flower in the Mayor's garden is his ward, Fu San to the Baron, but her.1ove is won by Ying Po CRussel1 Lyterj, a strolling minstrel. Richard Smith fLewis Headingsj, a reporter for the International News Service, who is covering Tokio for the American papers, complicates matters by wooing Mei O Mei, KDorothy Bickelj, the gardener's daughter who is the second choice of the Baron. Ko Ko fMida Biddlej, the Mayor's wife, steps in and immediately falls in love with Richard and has quite a time chasing after him. Saturday QCharles Brattonj, and Aunt Chloe, QCatharine Lyonsj, our comedians smell the sacred Japanese Rose and are overcome. Finally the Baron is outwitted in his revolution and is killed. Startling disclosures are made by Ying Po and the mysterious witch, Chi Fu and the Green Eyes, tRobert Smileyj. Finally all mysteries are cleared and each one wins his beloved one and at this moment the curtain drops which means- '1 11,1-1.5.1 2 ff' 9 6 'rf - SIXTEEN
