DEDICATICN Being seniors, we perhaps realize more the opportunities given us by the community. We recognize that the school is something more than a place to go every day or a place to meet friends. It is the opportunity given us to make our lives more useful. Knowledge is necessary in becoming a sucf cess, but without character, personality, service MRS. DORIS LANG! AHB Another trait needed is the ability to assof ciate with other people, a trait acquired through experience-especially at social functions which help us acquire this trait. None of these, however, could easily be obf tained alone. Without the help of our sponf sors, we would be helpless. The money spent by the community would be lost, for around the sponsor centers our destiny. Our sponsors guide us and help us through our school years -help us acquire these necessary traits in order that we may live more efhciently. Therefore, the Senior class of 1940 dedicates its publication of the Lebanon High School Cedars to its sponsors, Mrs. Doris Langjahr and Mr. Glenn Neeves. ' s'r and dependability we would accomplish nothf ing. These qualities put us and keep us on the path to happiness and security. MR. GLENN NEEVES f-nm 1 '43 lt'-

FOREWORD One day I happened to notice Charles W. Eliot's description of personality-a much' spokenfofftopic which is often misunderf stood. Everyone now believes that there is in a man an animating, ruling, characteristic essence, or spirit, which is himself. This spirit, dull or bright, petty or grand, pure or foul, looks out of the eyes, sounds in the voice and appears in the manners of each individual. It is what we call personality. Books have personalities too. Some seem dull, dovvncast, while others are cheerful and bring happiness. This has been the desire of the 1940 Cedars staff-to publish a book full of cheer and bring happiness through cherished memories of high school days. And so the Cedars, published by the class of 540, has been packed with snapshots, writefups, and pictures of all phases of school life. RoBERT F. LoNo.

Quan I www WM 'xx ALVA HUDSON BILL HUDSON GEORGE CANNON This is the way we scrub the floor, scrub the floor, This is the way we wash the windows, wash the windows. In a major way the song from childhood days could well be applied to those unsung heroes who keep our school building in tipftoplshape. The men referred to, of course, are the custodians of Lebanon High School. All summer long, while everyone is'enjoying a vaca- tion, these men are working. Floors must be scrubbed and waxed, and desks cleaned and polished. Windows must be cleaned and blackboards put into shape. These are but a few of the tasks performed by these men to put our institution of learning in the most possible sanif tary condition. But their labor does not end here. When school begins, they are still on the job. Every evening after the dis' missal bell rings, these men, together with their host of N. Y. A. helpers, shoulder their brooms, mops and h ,.,f..v.

Every room from the third floor to the basement must be put in readiness for the next day's use. The floor of Lebanon High School's spacious new gym is kept in perfect condition through the untiring efforts of these backstage workers. In the wintertime it is the duty of the janitors to build the fire in the furnace and keep every room at the .correct temperature. They must supply heat for all events outside of school time which are held in this building. And so time marches on! 'Twas back in 1920 that Alva Hudson first put in appearance as janitor in the junior high building, where he retains this position today. Before coming to the high school, Bill Hudson worked in this profession in the Stokes school. George Cannon, the last one to join this force, puts forth his efforts and his time in the senior high building. Oh, yes! These men are certainly deserving of all the credit and praise that could be given them. V U ,,.-3. . 1, 4, rr IUNIOR HIGH BLDG. ...f 4, P...
