Lipscomb, Fulks, Roach. Working earnestly at their typewriters are these students of a typing class. They know that the ability to type well is a valuable asset for them at the pres- ent time and perhaps will be a source of income later. In the driver training class, students not only learn the rules for good driving but also gain a practical application of these rules as a means of achieving highway safety. (21)

JUNIOR PROJECTS SUCCESSFUL THE JUNIORS BEGAN their active school year by presenting the first class assembly on the morning of November 17. On this occasion they combined their talents to produce a class song and yell and an original skit entitled, Working on the Railroad. After this Darrell Wetherbee, business manager, started the preliminary work of secur- ing money for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The class sold candy, cokes, football programs, and inaugurated after-game dances. When the necessary money had been earned, the Juniors planned the very success- ful evening of April 22, when they were hosts to the Seniors at the Wigwam. The chair- men responsible for the success of this event were Phyllis Mernagh, Charles Roach, Ken- neth Wood, Vernon Frost, Wanda Damron, Daphne McAbee, Mavis Shackelford, and Betty Jean Manning. As a class the Juniors participated whole-heartedly in April Frolics. They placed sec- ond with Ray Stewart, Willie Fulks, Wanda Damron and Corinne Dudley as runners-up for king and queen. Leading these many colorful activities were the class officers: President Woody Gaillard Vice President Kenneth Wood Secretary and Treasurer Wanda Damron Business Manager Darrell Wetherbee Sponsors Mrs. Juanita Jamison and Miss Alta Mortenson (20)

Sophomores Have Active School Year TO THE SOPHOMORES belongs the privilege of welcoming the incoming Freshmen with an initiation. The 1948-49 Sophomore Class joined in this activity whole-heartedly and as a result all the school reeked with the odor of onions. After much preparation the class presented an assembly where they exhibited a green and white shield bearing their motto, If we rest, we rust. Then followed their skit portraying after-school activities of L. H. S. students. This brought forth cheers and laughter. At Christmas time the Sophomores decorated the study hall and trimmed the Christ- mas tree for the school. Everyone participated in boosting the class to win third place in April Frolics, and Betty Lee Dudley won third place for queen. Despite the fact that the Sophomores chose Friday the thirteenth for the date of their dance nothing but good luck befell all who attended. Students who held offices in the Sophom ore Class were: President James Ackman Vice President Dick Scott Secretary Crystal Armstrong Treasurer Jean Cunningham Sponsors Mr. M. Berg and Mr. I. D. Quass
