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 ..............

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.
