We had a big exchange list, thanks to Tom Moore. And our Herald was a morale-builder instead of a bore. We made a change in pictures for the Senior Edition. And during the year Guest Editorials were written. e wrote editorials to stress an improvement. Soon ’twas learned this was an accomplished movement. Wolves and I.amb$ vied in the sales campaign. George and Val were top winners in this game. .Though the battle raged on with enthused opposition. The W olves as winners, brought the Lambs to submission! The April Fool edition was the last of the year And it brought many a chuckle and loads of good cheer. Six were eligible for Quill and Scroll. For superior work in writing and editing, all told. With that we wound up our writing careers. And we leave room 228 for future years.

THE PLAINSMEN PUBLISHED BY THE JOURNALISM CLASS OF 1944 IS DEDICATED TO YOU, one of the 9J0 students who are the body, even the life of Laramie High—to you, the boy too small to play football, but who played anyway; to you, the basketball player who held your place as a true sportsman throughout the season; to you, the one who played that snappy note in the band as you stepped forward with a proud, quick step; to you, who cheered for the other team, as well as your own; to you, who donned your grease paint and costume; to you, who ran down the halls causing the older folk to scowl—and smile; to you, who played for dances, and sang in lovely harmony; to you, who sold and bought those bonds and stamps, putting L. H. S. first in patriotism; to you, who learned to cook and sew; to you, who were taught to till the soil and care for your animals; to you, who were prompt to each class every day—it is to YOU, 950 strong, who did your part, large or small, to build morale behind the lines, and prepare for full living in the victorious future, that we dedicate this, our Senior Edition.
