Here, midst a constant battle of verbs and nouns, commas and semicolons, the students try their skill at written and oral composition. In their travels down the highways and byways of literature, they meet most of the world’s important authors and become acquainted with many of their works. In later years, English will prove its worth by contributing greatly to the success of industrious students. • Art One of the busiest departments in L.H.S. is our art department headed by Miss Davis. Indirectly the committees from this department are responsible for success of our dances and shows, for their clever decorations and scenery provide an adequate and pleasant background for our social life. Their work can be seen throughout the school in the form of posters and pictures, and the murals brightening our cafeteria were painted by Miss Davis and her students. This year the art department is planning a spring art show, which is to be a detailed performance of students actually at work, living portraits, and many other interesting things connected with art and this department. Miss Davis deserves a salute from our class of 1941 for her splendid cooperation and assistance during our four years here in Lansdowne High School. Under her trained guidance, the school is made into a finer place in which to live and L.H.S. students and our artists of tomorrow are given much-needed experience. • Library A world with a thousand worlds! A world of infinite potentiality whose resources arc easily discovered and developed by just one tool, a mind of imagination! Books are written to be read. The finest collection of great literature is nothing if the pages of the volumes are never uncut, for a book without readers is a general without an army. We are fortunate, whether or not we realize it, in having a school library so remarkably complete in fiction, non-fiction, magazine, and research material. It is there for the finding just by looking. • Debate Mister chairman, honorable Judge, worthy opponents, and—With Mr. Howard Drake as coach, the debating team of Lansdowne spent the season arguing whether or not the Federal Government should own and operate the Electric Utilities. Although the season was not overly successful as far as victories were concerned, it was successful in that the members of the two teams gained self-confidence and experience. The negative team, captained by Fred Selby, star rebuttalist,” included Jean Mosley, as interrogator, Robert Stoughton, as second constructive speaker, and Janet Patterson, as first speaker. Their most successful debate was a win over Bridgeport with a score of 300 to 350. The affirmative team, made up of Betty Dallam, re-buttalist,” Margretta Van Dyke, interrogator, Stephen Pease, second speaker, and Albert Tolley, first speaker, also chalked up their most successful victory against Bridgeport. 22
