There never was a time when the High Schools met the needs of the pupil so well at the present time. Teachers never taught so well, buildings were never so completely equipped, and the public never so respon- sive as now. In spite of these facts there has never been a time when schools have been criticised so generally and so severely. While we have been building better and greater, adverse criticism threatens to thwart our best laid plans and schemes. These criticisms must be met. The best answer is to be able to point with pride to the spirit and the product of the school. What then is the Spirit of the School? It is that great unifying force, without which a school is but a name. It is that intangible, but necessary thing that makes teachers vibrant with enthusiasm of purposes and leadership and makes pupils thrill with the desire to k11ow and to do. It is that spirit in athletics that inspires students to do their best in training and in play. lt is that spirit that puts pep in the laggard. stiffens his backbone with encouragement and makes a winner out of a bench warmer. lt is that spirit that makes for the best possible school citizenship. It is that spirit of justice and fair play that makes friends of a defeated foe. lt is that spirit that defeat drives to greater effort. lt is that spirit that frowns on any dis- honest act. lt is that spirit that maketh alive and puts first things first. Give us the right spirit in the High School and no criticism can prevail against us. -Superintendent Van Ripcr.

Thy walls no more to see. llow many memories we'll take. Of good times had of yore, Within thy walls which soon will be- SGI1lOI'S-t0 HS 110 IIIUPQ. The new High School quite grand may But always we recall, The dear, original Lebanon High. Which almost held us all. When Freshmen first we entered in, Your halls seemed wide and deep. And class rooms far too numerous. Track of them we'd never keep. Then came our happy Sophomore days. With fun and lessons fraught. Oh, we 'll ne'er cease to remember The things we then were taught. As Juniors, we were just supreme. Or 'twas thus tho 't the class, And joyousness and care-free fun, Filled every lad and As Seniors, too, more recent date, The toil and labor o'erg 'We'1l oft think back to those old days, When school is for us no more. And to our Sponsers, kind and true, Who stood by our class' side, Fondest memories we'll have of you, Who piloted us through the tide. ,I And you, our Teachers, worthy and wise, Who directed our High School way, We will not forget your kindly eyes, As you moulded our thoughts for today. -Bennie DeVol '23,
