Usually tl-ese are legendary characters, but we of L.P.Hi gh School are most fortunate in possessing several real fairy godfathers. They hold within their power to grant or to take away our many desires. For years we have dreamed of a new High School and Junior College. In the past few years our fairy godfathers, the members of the Board of Education, succeeded in granting our wish with the aid of Mrs. Blow and Mrs. Matthiessen. Their tireless and generous efforts resulted in the construction of the new building. This magnificent edifice is a creation beyond all our dreams. It is as an enchanted palace with its beautiful architecture and conservative cut-stone trimmings in the Tudor-Gothic style. For all of this we are indebted to the unselfish devotion of much time and labor of the board and administration. Our wonderful new auditorium is the largest in the county, seating 1,410 persons, and it enables concerts, dramatic performances and conventions of all kinds to be held in the Tri-Cities. The stage of the auditorium is wide and deep and well- equipped with all the appliances and devices of modern stage-craft. It is also an ideal place for all class plays. Furthermore as a school we wish to thank the Board of Education for its con- tinual and mighty efforts to better school life. In order to express our appreciation and gratitude for the Board's many accomplishments, we dedicate this page to that most deserving group. . -..AW 7 ,, , ..-. ,..., Page Ten

ITERATURE is the hoarded thought and emotion of the race, the capitalized experience of the past preserved in books. A book is the distillate, the pre- cipitate ofa human soul, and libraries are the savings banks of all the thought, of all the emotions, of all the science and experience of the past,-a capital from which we can draw without decreasing its wealth, and which exacts no interest from its borrowers. We talk of material thrift and material economy, but we rarely reflect that in the literature of books is preserved the spiritual thrift of the world. g 4 f Q Q-J Superintendent. Page Tufeirc
