Lane High School - Chain Yearbook (Charlottesville, VA)

The eternal hands of time are continually counting off the minutes, hours, and days as our school years roll by. With the thoughts of school uppermost in our minds, the staff has chosen as a theme—LIFE AT LANE. In this, the twenty-sixth link, we have tried to depict the “round-the- clock” activities—gay moments and somber ones; play, study, friendships, and love. It is your book, for it is you who have made it.
