Our beautiful stage with its we-ll equipped laboratories and shops, its carefully planned auditorium and visual aid facilities, its magic iritc-rm'omn1unic'ation systeni, its new and sparkling gymnasium, its beautifully landscaped and cared for grounds, as well as its distinctivcly attractive bas-relief map, nc-vcr fails to strike a spark of love and pride in the heart of each student. This degree of perfection is reached through the ronccrtcd r-Ffort of the student body and the intcnse pride in our stage is one of the forccs which unite the stu- dents in Cooperation with thu- cxcellcnt and fair-niinded afhninistrative staff and faculty. The beauties and advantages of our stagc are not the only fields in which wc glory. Thc reputation and famc which are synony- mous with our namc also fill us with pridc and devotion. Mc arc victorious and acclaimed not only on the athletic fields, but also in such are-as as speech, drama, literary talent, and the Fine arts, as well as in the general field of high scholastic achim-vm-ment.

Fame and beauty however, are not, in themselves, enough to assure the success and high standing of the sehool. In addition, there is an intangible 'gsomc-thing which, although hard to define or pin down, is much more evident in its absence. Perhaps, it is just school spirit, but at Lamar, there seems to be a feeling much broader and richer than the usual sense of that term implies. This is evident in the halls, in classroom discussions, and in the luneh- lines, as well as at football or basketball games and pep rallies. It is even found in the name of our yearbook since Orenda means Great Spirit. It stays with a student wherever he goes, long after graduation, and out into the college and business world. It is similar to an unspoken pledge of honor, loyalty, and trustworthiness, but still more broad and inclusive. Perhaps it is best exemplified in the words and meaningful theme of the Alma Mater. These phrases which fill us with pride and respeet embody all of this special quality which is unique here . . . Hail to Lamar .... A lma Mater dear . . . Sing her joyful praise . . . Sound it far and near . . . Rally around her banner . . . We will never fail . . . So to Lamar, Alma Mater . . . Sing hail . . . Hail . . . Hail! .9.
