BANNERS WAVE UN HIGH The Stars and Stripes and the white and blue Treasury flag flutter against the cerulean sky, marking opportunities of the present- and the future. Two graceful wine-glass elms guard the walks and lawns, and the class ivies spread their red, young leaves against the walls of the Practical Arts Building, clinging and climbing valiantly. VVe point to the two large brick buildings and say with pride, That's our school ! Since the first class of nine graduated in 1878 from what was then L.H.S., many boys and girls, many teachers, have come and gone. ln 1923 our school moved from Academy Street to what we now call the Old Building - surely then it must have been the New Building . Our present New Buildingl' Cmore properly called the Practical Arts Buildingl came into use in 1936. From the windows on' the Union Avenue side one looks off across the city to the Sanbornton hills, equally lovely in autumn brilliance or spring-green mist. On winter mornings the windows at Steele Hill glint like diamonds as they throw back the light of the sunrise. On those shortest days in winter the moon often sets there after we have come to school. Nearer at hand, to the east, the flags atop the Legion Home, the Armory, and Scott and lVilliams make a patriotic picture. From the back Windows the view is of the athletic field, across to the black pines that form a backdrop for our outdoor commencements. fSomeone must have observed these sights on a Saturday, for of course no one looks out of windows when school is in session.j VVithin, the library is one of our greatest joys. Since Miss O'Shea has given it her full time, it has become one of the finest in the state. Exhibits of hobbies, bright new book jackets, flowers here and there - all combine to make attractive a very popular spot, where Lincoln looks down upon us as we use an opportunity he didn't have. Our auditorium serves many purposes, from being a haven on stormy mornings in winter to becoming the scene of many a vigorous first aid demonstration. lkfovies, assemblies, plays, and concerts all have their days. Many a boy will always remember stumbling up onto that platform to clutch in a nervous hand a long-coveted letter. VVhen it comes to plays, what our stage crews can do with that small stage is little short of miraculous. ls there anyone who hasn't seen the oflices? Long queues wait for admit slips after a severe snowstorm or too much weekend. Our whole pedigree is locked in the files, and to the Inner Sanctum are summoned the Very Good and falaslj the Very Bad. Along the halls passes a constant kaleidoscope of bright-colored sweaters and jackets. Lists on bulletin boards are eagerly scanned. There is Tom's new red sweater in the Lost and Found. Cups won in many a contest gleam from their cases. Old-pictures of the classes 'way back when' amuse us as we contrast what the well-dressed student wore in those days - and now. Clever posters replace clever posters as one school event follows another throughout the year. That favorite rendezvous outside Room 210 is never neglected. The New Building is a compound of sounds and smells. Printer's ink, fresh sawdust, hot metal, duplicator fluid, and fresh, hot gingerbread. The grind and clatter of machinery I
