Legend of the Class of 1933 ln nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, we started on what seemed to us a long journey, that of four years of high school. There were forty-five of we freshmen who enrolled at the beginning of the year. VVe felt very elevated, but the upper classmen soon made us feel that we were only freshies just starting on the road to higher learning, and that We had to take a back seat for a year or two. However, we were well represented in athletics, glee clubs, and other school activities, The next fall, when we came back, we were more sure of ourselves and were determined to make the most of our Sophomore year. We wanted to show our upper classmen that we were worthy of becoming upper classmen, too. So we battled with Caesar, geometry, and history, and I think most of us will agree that our Sophomore year was the most difficult. VVe again entered into the school activities, some of our members made the first teams in football and basket ball. For those two First years, we chose Miss Cramer for our sponsor. When we entered school again the next fall, we found ourselves confronting the eventful junior year. The tirst problem that we had to solve was what to leave as a gift to the school. We finally decided on a trophy case to be put in the lower hall. So we had it installed, and we have been very proud of it ever since. In the Spring we presented our first class play, t'Sound Your Horn, under the direction of Mr. Conrad, our sponsor. It proved to be a great success, which made us feel that our efforts were not all in vain. Then came the most anticipated event of the year, the junior-Senior Banquet. This event made us a great deal of work, but we enjoyed doing it. And I am quite sure that on the night of the banquet all the Juniors were proud of the decorated auditorium and of the fact that the Seniors were enjoying themselves with the amusement which we had provided, Amid the various events of the year, more of our group helped on the basket ball and football teams and aided in winning more victories for our school. Last September, when we came back to school, we found that although we were Seniors we had been deprived of some of our privileges, due to financial conditions. VVe saw from the beginning of the year that we were not going to have enough money to take a trip to Vtfashington as the classes before us had done. But we were determined to take some kind of a trip at the end of the year. So, in keeping with the times, our main ambition throughout the year was that of making as much money as we could. We sold Christmas cards, had bake sales, and gave plays, but it seerned we cou1dn't get much money saved, However, a trip wasn't the only thing we worked for. We wanted to publish an Annual this year, and we found that it seemed almost impossible at first, but we would not give up as soon as all that. So we devised a new plan whereby we could publish an Annual. Quite a fcw members of our class had principal parts in the operetta this year, and also the football and basket ball teams were strongly supported by members of our class. The captains of all the teams were Seniors this year. VVe have enjoyed our classes together this year more than ever. It seems that just as we get to know each other real well, we will have to separatd and each go our way. But I'm sure that there are incidents which have happened, in class or elsewhere, that will help us to remember the good times which we had together. Now, at the close of the year, we find that our large class of forty-tive has dwindled to thirty-eight. Some have dropped out of the race and some have moved and continued at other schools. On leaving high school, some of the class will sigh with relief and say, There, that's over, while others will be sorry to leave, and still others will be glad to think that they are now ready for the real culture and education which is waiting for anyone who will put forth their efforts for it. But, wherever we may be, let us not forget our class motto, Not Lufk, but Pluck. Dorus COLEMAN. Page Thirteen

Manager or g J PM The Liberty Bell IQ33 The work of collecting and editing the copy of The Liberty Rell is the most important function of the staff. This year the work has been more difficult than in previous years because of the uncertainty of pub- lishing a book and the necessity to reduce the size and cost. The staff feels that the success of this year's book is due to the great co-operation of all the mem- bers of the student body of Liberty High School. The events and functions of our school have been incorpo- rated into this book so that it will be a lasting memory ' of the happy time spent at Liberty. r ' ffivff- .. esae 0 if A f Q.: . 1 I. ,, r , t .ir f fs i ti .L pt.
