LIAVIIQYN Q ann J prepared to do this right thing and do it. Don't expect the right thing always to be a big thing. Don't wait for the big things. He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any. As you go on from class to class, you will find, as we have found, that there is nothing that costs so little and goes so far as courtesy. Be men or women in the best senses of the word. Play the game fair with everybody. Shun fault- finding and fault-finders. Be patient. Rome Wasn't built in a day. A high school senior can't be made in one year. Your patience will achieve more than your force. Finally as you go on from year to yearg lend a hand. Do not be isolated as classes or as india viduals, assume your shares of the common bur- dens of school life. No one is useless in this World who lightens the burden of someone else. This, then, is the little message we leave with you. Get started, keep going, be prepared for every emergency, be courteous, and lend a hand. We have enjoyed our associations with you during the time that we have been together in Leavenworth High School. You have been great schoolmates. During this last year some of the classes have accomplished more than any other classes have ever accomplished in the history of this school. We step out of the picture re- luctantly, but we know confidently that you Juniors about to become Seniors, you Sopho- mores about to become Juniors, and you Fresh- men about to become Sophomores, will cherish the good name of Leavenworthians. Finally we urge you to take this message and apply it practically in helping the Class of 1930 when it meets you in the new school year. Warren Joseph Lewis. Page Seventy-three S-9: as

ii-15,37 ADDRESS TO THE LOWER CLASSES Members of the Lower Classes of Leaven- worth High School: It is a distinct privilege to come before you in this manner and share with you intimately ex- periences of four years. It seems to us seniors that people who have run a gauntlet are author- ized to give their experiences at the end, in order that the next ones who pass over the rough road may find the going just a little easier. Now the secret of really doing anything in high school is to get started. These twenty-nine people on this platform started early in their careers four years ago, otherwise, they would not be where they are tonight. This secret of getting on by getting started applies preemi- nently to the beginning of the freshman year, Page Seventy-two but it may very aptly apply to the beginnings of any of the other higher years. When you return in the fall as seniors, or juniors, or sopho- mores, as the cases may be, do not delay, start your class work and your class activities at once. We are going to commit to you another piece of information that we believe is helpful. When you get under way, you will find that the labor of getting ahead will be made much easier if you do each duty every day. Give today to laziness, 'and it will steal tomorrow from you. Then you will find it to your advantage to be on your job-the big job of going to school-all the time. Be prepared to do the right thing at the right time. When occasion demands it, be
