STORV Now come the day when we attained the goal we had set for ourselves when we were mere Widgets. We were now very proud Seniors. As soon as we had taken this nonor in our stride, the thought struck home to us that within a few short months we were to take our leave of good old L. P. H. S. But under the leadership of Gremlin Yodeling Yast as president; Fifinella Smiling Smith, vice-president; Fifinella Mert Garwood, secretary; and Gremlin Shoey Shoemaker, treasurer, we were bound and determined to make the school proud of this year's Seniors. We elected as class sponsors Miss Kelly and Mr. Beabout. One of the many problems faced by both Fifinellas and Spandules was a subject dreaded by one and all. You remember it well, don't you? 'WAR GYM.' Some of us often wondered, as we limped through the halls to and from our classes, whether or not the Sword-Nosed Gremlins had put in overtime on us. But, fortunately, we sur- vived, despite the Gremlins. This year we chose as our Senior Ploy And Came the Spring . Top honors went to our leading lady, Nina Rose Ferris, who though a stranger in our midst, gave a grand peiformance. Other honors go to the rest of the cast and to the committees for mak- ing this year's ploy such o grand success. Special thanks go to Miss McReynolds, who directed our last year's Junior Play and our Senior Play again this yeor. Thanks loads, Miss Mac. Many of our important activities still lie ahead of us and we ore looking forward eagerly to the Prom and Class Day nnd graduation. As this book goes to press, we realize that there are only a few short weeks of school left for us. In fact many of our classmates are already leaving to enter some branch of service or to take advantage of the accelerated. programs of some of our col- leges. Graduation this year is a sobering thought, but this year's class is determined to look toward the future with high resolve and hope. As we graduate from L. P. H. S.; we leave with the fervent wish that all the good Gremlins will watch over the affairs of our school—its faculty, all its Fifinellas and Spandules and next year's little Widgets . To this year's Juniors especially we offer our best wishes for a year of fun and success next year. And to all—in farewell—we say thanks for so many happy memories of a pleasant four years.
