Walk through those doors. Oh Youth- Young man so strong and tall, Young women pure and true— And kneel lest you should fall. Yield up your height and strength, Your truth and purity: Receive Christ's message here; His love will make you free.

MARCH Blows in With ‘ L Follies March breezes in with much hard work on the part of the Junior class toward their class play, Junior Prom. Baseball season begins with tryouts and then swings into reg- ular routine. Juniorettes sponsor the second annual Campus Carnival. All clubs partici- pate, and for one night L. H. S. is trans- formed into the wonderful world of carnival tinsel, glamor, and gaiety. The Seniors ini- tiate their last big project before gradua- tion, Night on the Nile. The class dance takes us far back in time to ancient Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs; and leaves us. when it is finally over, with stars in our eyes. Cruelty jokes are back in force, and sun tans are in style again after the long, cold winter. The Flying L Follies leave us laughing, and Miss Ft. Lauderdale High, the beautiful Mil- lie Price, is announced. With this highlight of the year past, March leaves L. H. S. Nine pretty girls make nine pretty smiles as they sit on their regal throne. These are the candidates for Miss Fort Lauder- dale High. In a gown of red net and shoes of red satin, Millie Price. Miss Fort Lauderdale High, flashes her famous Mississippi smile. March is getting mighty close to June, so the Guidanco Counselors are busy answering questions like— Do I have enough credits? Do you think I could make Duke? or for a few How long do you think it’ll be before I can get out of here? Mrs. Cisco and Mr. Chapman calm jittery nerves and answer all questions very understanding . Seniors start something new! In the past, moss has always been used to decorate the roof of the gym for class dances, but tho Senior Dance. Night on the Nile. is different. The moss was found to be harmful to the floor so the Seniors are using parachutes. 178
