F RS EDITIIINS EXECUTIVE, JUDICIAL GROUPS DIRECT LEBANONIANS All past election records went into the discard as Thomas L. Christian was refelected President by a landf slide vote. Witli the capitol recently changed and now located at the Lebanonian city, September 7, 1936 ushered in some seven hundred and fifty conf gressmen, who were enroute to the north wing of the Capitol building where they were to organize. At the sound of the gavel, the President welcomed the assembly and delivered his annual address to the legislative body, during which he outf lined the general routine of business for the nine months' session. The President attended Lebanon high school and graduated from that institution in 1912. Later he attendf ed Wabrisli, where he received his A. B. and A. M. degrees, returning to Lebanon to teach mathematics and finally to assume the distinction as head of this department. Miss Grace Etchison, vicefpresif dent, started as a teacher of English in L. H. S. in 1918 with an A. B. degree from Indiana university. For a few years she assisted in the Latin department, in 1928 she became dean of girls, and at the present time she is assistant principal of the high school. In the Department of State the historians and economists supervised foreign affairs and kept the public inf formed of diplomatic relations. Miss Lydia Bell, who received her B. S. degree from Indiana State Normal, was appointed secretary of the def partment with Miss Lillian Witt, also an Indiana State Normal graduate, and Glenn Neeves, an Indiana uni' versity alumnus, as underfsecretaries. The French ambassadoress to our democracy, Madame Madeleine Cain, and the Italian minister, Miss Doro' thy Masters, a DePauw graduate with 1 her A. B. degree, have their embasf sies in and near Lebanon. Mr. Arthur Sims, Secretary of the Treasury Department, is responsible for the safefkeeping of the revenue and their disbursements. Miss Helen Kenworthy, Mrs. LaVerne Endicott, and Miss Ruth Brookshire efliciently aid him in collecting taxes and inter' nal revenue. Paul Butch Neuman, with a B. S. degree from Purdue, is head of the War Department. This year sixteen cadets made up his general staff and saw action in twenty battles. AttorneyfGeneral Walter Tyre has been a member of the cabinet since 1928 and has ten worthy probaf tion officers under his guiding hand. Miss Marie Shanks, Secretary of Interior fDecorationl, is head of the fact finding department for internal improvement. Mr. Maurice M. Jones conducts the scientific research and makes a biologf ical survey as head of the Agriculture Department and for many years has aided in forest preservation and find' ing new uses for farm products. Conducting commercial relations, such as only our country has, is no easy taskg but after several years of experience in the technical points of trade obligations, Mrs. Violet McColf ley was appointed to engineer the Def partment of Commerce. In an industrial age sanitary workf ing conditions must be fostered, so the Department of Labor was instituted. A bureau included under this def partment was created to forward high school experience in manual training and metal arts and is now headed by Voris Demaree, a Bradley Tech graduate. Mrs. Jeanette McQueen and Mrs. Drubelle Stephenson served as cof chairmen on a committee for super, vising domestic relations. Courses in vocational guidance were added to the curricula of our nations educaf tion facilities under the influence of these two prominent homemakers. An L. H. S. alumnus, graduate of Wzilaaisli college, and recipient of a Masters degree from the University of Illinois, Ralph Howard proved himself capable of assuming the re- sponsibilities as chief of the Chemical Vxfelfare Service. Under the new administration sevf eral projects saw their beginning. The W. P. A. Recreational Board was represented by Miss Elsie I-Iarrif son. The committee for encouraging higher vocal culture was influenced by Miss Alma McNeal, the music su' pervisor of the Lebanonians. Miss Mildred Rogers was appointf ed congressional librarian. The conf gressional record was made, and all proceedings were filed with Miss l'la:el Shahan, the Chief Justices clerk. Noted English professors who pro- nounced and enunciated their way into the senate chambers were Miss lvlary Ann Tauer, Nirs. Lila Shinn, and Mrs. Mary Ann Mclntyre. Mr. Charles E. A. Moore, of Wabash college, efliciently trained the less active legislators in the fine points of arguing. Last but by no means least of our governmental departments is the L. H. S. Supreme Court, composed of four blackfrobed justices. Chief jusf tice Paul Van Riper and Associate judges Stanley Jones, George Palmer, and Elmer Stark, consider the conf stitutionality of all proposed legislaf tion and render their decisions only after thoughtful deliberation. FLASH: Mrs. Doris Langjahr, owner of the Lebanonian newspaper, just arrived to lobby in congress for abolishing sensational journalism. She was accompanied by a group of her staff led by the Army band, directed by Marvin Richey. Quite a gala aff fair!

H0 E EDITIIINS - Classes SENIORS EXECUTE FAREWELL RITES TO END CAREER As commencement time approaches, let us delve into the senior chronicles and revive the ardor with which the their last class of 1937 conducted rituals. The brunt of extrafcurricular shoulders, activities fell upon their and though entailing many responsif bilities, it was only a challenge to the class to do its best. The first festivity of the year was the annual dinner party on Cctober 16 in the Home Economics rooms. As is customary at all senior func' tions, the candelabrum committee perf formed the ceremony of the sevenf branch candlestick. The committee executing the symbolic rites consisted of Clay Ulen, class presidentg Mary Jane Kersey, vicefpresident, Harold Havens, secretaryftreasurerg and Coldiene Akers, Mary Dutch, ,lean Ellen McCord, Mac McConnaha, and James Richman. Following closely on the heels of the aforemenf tioned observance was a dinner inter' mingled with short talks and ref sponses by members of the school board, faculty, and class associates. At the conclusion of the dinner the entire class and guests were arrest ed by Patrolmen McColley and Nease and taken to ujailv in the sen, ior high library. The program for the evening sup' posedly took place in a night court. sludge William Roberts presided and sentenced the more serious off fenders to hard labor in the class' rooms. Eddie Shore's Rhythmaniacs continued the entertainment from the close of the program, and the remainf der of the evening was spent in tripf ping over the floor of the library jail. November 25 announced the usual yearly event of Homecoming at L. H. S. The program was characteristic of a commencement in the gay I i i 1 i E l I nineties. The portals of this sol' emn and dignified affair were opened with a welcome address given by Clay Ulen. The commencement address was delivered by Edward Cullion, Jr., an alumnus. In accordance with the custom of the nineties'i speeches were given by members of the graduf ating class, after which they were presented diplomas by Principal Willett Parr, Jr. Following the commencement a short play, Uncle Tom's Penthouseu written by Angeline johns, '37, was pantomimed by seniors. After the rabbit supper Lebanon defeated Cathedral in the Homecomf ing basketball tilt. The proper end' ing for the day was the Homecoming Dance with music furnished by Van Miller's orchestra. About this time the seniors be' gan plans for launching one of their biggest undertakingsfthat of pub' lishing the Cedars of 1937. The sub' scription campaign was conducted in the form of a race, the various home rooms constituting the list of entrants. A race track, on which the racing cars were lined up, was posted in each building. As the subscription rate of each home room mounted, the car representing that room progressed around the track. To stimulate inf terest a prize, consisting of a ticket to the Colonial theatre, was awarded to each subscriber in the winning home room of senior and junior high school. The senior play committee selected Kind Ladyfi a melodrama with a prologue, three acts, and an epilogue, which was presented Thursday and Friday. May 6 and 7. The cast was as follows: Mr, Foster ......... Harry Hawkins Mary Herries ......... Mary Dutch Lucy Weston ..... Mary Jane Kersey Rose .............. Angeline johns Phyllis Cvlenning---Wanda Murphy Peter Santard ......... Charles Carr Henry Abbott ......... James Good Ada .......... Lorraine Wolfington Doctor ........... Mac McConnaha Mr. Edwards ...... Richard Jackson Mrs, Edwards ...... Mary L. Scifres Aggie Edwards .... Mary Campbell Rosenberg .........., Otis Richman Gradually approaching commence' ment time, the seniors, faculty, and guests assembled on May 23 in the gym for the baccalaureate services, with Reverend Carl H. Barnett, pas' tor of the Central Christian Church, delivering the address to the graduatf ing class. The annual class day program was presented by the senior class Monday night, May 24, with the program in charge of Angeline Johns and james Richman and a general committee consisting of fifteen. The scene was a night club, the feature of the evening being a floor show. And then on May 28 the crowning event in the life of a high school sen' ior arrived when the 1937 class asf sembled for the last time. Following the candelabrum rites, Principal T. L. Christian presented the graduates with their sheepskins, and Doctor Otis W. Caldwell, Secretary of the Research Organization for the Adf vancement of Science, delivered the commencement address. Thus ended the high school career of the class of '37. The knowledge gained, the experiences, and the trials and triumphs will be carried out into the world of reality by each graduate. The days spent in Lebanon high school will always remain a fondest memory and be regarded as a most valuable period in the life of each individual.
