 (Class iitstmnf in Jinrlrtj m b Jlrnae KNIGHT ’26 OF L. H. S. Then the knight spake, and related his wondrous adventure, From beginning to end minutely, just as it happened. How he had started on his quest to seek the goal In his first year—just in the gray of the dawn, As the mist uprose from the meadows and hillsides, He spurred his black steed to the northward. And rode over dale and highways with eager delight. A year he traveled and all went smooth and bright Till the eve came when he his report must give To the one who was leader o’er all the knights, Then out of the darkness, suddenly there came A monster with blazing eyes and a cruel smile. They met—they fought—till by the break of day, He had conquered the dragon and won the fray. As he neared the cloister, he became alarmed For there was a quest to be made and he was armed. He was the one who was picked to go at once Now that he had won his first and beginning quest. He was to travel to the east and to the west, And to seek the “Gate of Opportunity” which was Unknown to all. Yet he was the one to find it. He rode and rode, with all his speed till he came To the gate; then lowered himself from his horse, And stood without the gate with great patience, For that was what he must conquer; to succeed His second year of Knighthood now that the first year Which with courage and strength and valor had passed. Another year he waited, but this time at the gate, Patient and hopeful. Then the day came when the gate opened, And he was ushered into another year, which was the third. He was told to go to the nearest and largest cloister And was to take gold to the monasteries and the monks. This errand was placed upon him to test his honor, To see if he was ready and equal to the third test of a knight. He traveled on and on, month after month with very little rest, But still he was climbing on to the goal of a knight. Loyal and faithful, with the gold fastened to his girdle. Then one beautiful May morn in the distance there arose The steeples of the monasteries, not far to the left, He spurred his horse and rode quickly to the nortlrvvest, In less than an hour he had reached the cloister. Had given the gold to the monks, and then spurred to the north. The fourth year of his journey led him to the goal. He had acquired courage, courtesy, charity, chastity, and honor. Nowr he would be pledged a real knight of the cloister, He had passed his examinations and had been pledged To be Knight ’26 of the L. H. S. graduation class. —Corrinne Baker ’26. Page Twenty-nine

 ♦ • • eeg{Q 0)= o ..ytmlr.. (Ujr (UlctHtf nf ’2lt The class of ’26 was incorporated in September, 1922. The class wishing to be as democratic as possible decided on a form of self-government that would give every member of the class an equal chance to take part. So far we have been successful in working out this plan and have been one of the outstanding classes in the history of L. H. S. 1922- 3 Ted Klein was elected president of the class and was assisted by Jack Coolidge as vice-president. Our motto was “Green but Growing.” We put on the best class pep stunt. Sold most tickets for the Operetta. Tied for first in sale of tickets for the Senior play. Had the least failures of any class in school. Had lettermen in Football and Track. 1923- 4 Ted Klein was again elected president with Wesley Brownton as vice- president and Dorothy Funk as secretary-treasurer. A more fitting motto was decided upon—“Not as an Individual but as a Unit.” Again the class came to and took first in Operetta ticket sale, second in one other point contest. We had four football lettermen and three track men. Played Seniors for basketball championship and lost 23-22. The class was now beginning to take part in other activities, such as Merrymakers, Operetta, and Student Council work. 1924- 5 Wesley Brownton was chosen president. The class put on the best play that any Junior class has ever attempted-— “Daddy Long Legs.” It was accepted by the public and great things were expected next year. We had seven football lettermen, four basketball and more in track. Scholarship was a thing of greater importance now and several Juniors made the Honor Roll. 1925- 6 This year we are leading the classes in number of points. More members are on the Honor Roll. Our play “The Irresistible Marmaduke” was the biggest success of the year. We won both mascot fights. With this good work, our class will be an example for other classes in years to come. More Scniprs are graduating in this class than heretofore in the history of our school, and we feel that the school “will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here.” Page Thirty —George Glass ’26.
