THE PARROT va Class Parts -. . Q' 1 4: I C si i i X 48 A 8' i Address of Welcome Members of the school board, and of the faculty, par- ents, schoolmates and friends, the class of 1933 extends to you this afternoon a most friendly welcome to these its class day exercises. The program today commemorates the forty-sixth an- niversary of class day exercises at Lebanon high School. We have earnestly desired to carry on the tradition of fortyesix years, because of the welcome opportunity the day offers for a last happy gathering within the walls of the school in which we have worked and played and which we have grown to love so much. Because this is a class day, the following exercises may be expected to give us the greatest share of amuse- ment. However, we could not experience the full happi- ness of this occasion without the presence of you, our parents and friends, who have so willingly and generously helped us through our high school years. So again, I wish to say that we are most happy to have you here with us this afternoon and I extend to you the sincerest welcome of the class of 1933. Annette Smith. Class History HAZEL: Oh, Ginnie, the other night I was glancing over my diaries, and you can't imagine some of the things that I wrote down about our freshman and sopho- more years. Would you like to hear some of them ? GINNIE: Yes, I would. Have you them here? I didn't keep a diary my first 'two years, but I did my junior and senior years. I'll read you parts of mine too. HAZEL: HAH right. Listen to this. Freshman Year September 9, 1929 Dear Diary, School opened to-day and the great and honorable class of seventy-three members entered as freshmen. We had a great time ambling about school. We decided im- mediately that if we were to spend four years together in this place we might as well get organized. I'm sure that the faculty realized to-day what an unusual and marvelous class we are. How could they help it? November 15, 1929 The football and hockey seasons are over. To-night I went to my first Football-Hockey Banquet. Some of the girls got their letters, and Coach Carver had to admit that our boys made Qie best tackling dummies. P. S. Gee, I had a niarvelousxgirrxe. March 9, 1930 Basketball is over and winter has gone. Everyone marveling at all the promising athletes of our illustrious class. And that winter sports team! They surely believe in bringing home the cups to dear old L. H. S. Now, baseball is coming. No one can keep our fast-growing- famous class out of anything and many of our boys will make a try at it. May 24, 1930 Just to tell you, Diary, what a brilliant and successful class we have many of our students are on the honor Toll, and We' are just amazing the teachers with all our superfluous knowledge. I could tell you of many examples of our brilliance, but it would take too long. June 7, 1930 School is over and the now famous and mighty class of 1933 advances after a year of new experiences and thrills. You know, I just hate to think of what they would do if we were not coming back next year. Sophomore Year September 10, 1930 Howdy Diary, Here we are back again, but now as sophisticated sophomores. I judged from the appearance of my class to-day that we are out to do bigger and better things. Anything is possible with this class. November 23, 1930 It was the boys' turn to give the annual banquet this year. I am sure that everyone had a grand time. Some of the great athletes of our class, which has such un- usual athletic ability, won their letters in football and hockey this year. March 22, 1931 WVe have just returned from the tournament at Windsor and we came New England Championship. Are we are pleased to bring home the cup to dear old L. H. S. The boys had good luck this year also, when they almost won the state championship at Durham. Both of the teams won second place in the League and that added two more cups to our collection. May 4, 1931 Talk about your good secretaries! The members of the commercial department are Winning pins right :md left this year. That is what a grand and intelligent class we are. June 5, 1931 To-day I sat in study hall and I couldn't help admiring the members of my class. 1 am very glad that We have two more years here. By the time we are seniors we will be doing big things. P. S. Oh, dear, After everything is annual basketball through with the glad? We surely A

THE PARROT all over and we have graduated, I wonder what they will do. I wonder! GINNIE: fafter Hazel finishes Freshman and Sophomore yea1's.J That's great, Hazel, and what fun to recall those years. I only wish that I had kept a diary through my first two years of high school. Do you want me to read parts of mine now? HAZEL: Yes, do. GINNIE: September 8, 1931 Heigh-ho Diary, The great and honorable class of '33 entered the por- tals of L. H. S. this morning with a look of determi- nation on each face. I am anxious to find out just what that determination is. I noticed that our class has shrunk to fifty-three members, but we are still a larger class than the class of '32 and if we can all stick we'll have a huge graduating class. P. S. Diary, this is going to be a thrilling year. November 21, 1931 This year, diary, is the Hockey squad's turn to give the annual Football-Hockey banquetg consequently, we worked all day trying to find food enough for eighty a.thletes. Even so, we had a grand time. Dick Colby was elected captain of football and Annette Smith was elected captain of field hockey for the ensuing year. Hurrah for our class! Dead tired. December 21, 1931 Merry Christmas Diary! We've been at basketball for a month now and have had two games, and as yet I have never seen the ski-team come home from any com- petition with any less than twenty-five cups and at least a dozen medals apiece. Stan. Nelson seems to be our class out-door man and he knows his snow. January 2, 1932 Happy New Year. I hope that I have some grand things to tell you this year. We returned to school to-day and we started plan- ning our Junior Prom which is to occur on January 29. We are going to transform the gym into typical Hol- land with a multitude of tulips, a Dutch cottage, blue sky, wooden shoes, everything! Frank Jackson is our class President, there will be no grand march for Frank to lead. February 9, 1932 We have a new girl in our class 3 I think that her name is Alice Desmond. She looks as though she were going to be lots of fun and I don't imagine the boys will be too shy about wanting to meet her either. We also have a new boy in our honorable class. We call him L. L. from L., others call him Lefty' Leonard from Laconia. We've yet to learn his char- acteristics, but we have heard that he looks pretty good on a baseball diamond. March 18, 1932 Dear Diary, The girls' basketball squad ventured into the far off wilds of Windsor, Vt. for the New England Champion- ship tournament. We had bad luck in the preliminaries, but we didn't mind much because we had free meals and reserved seats at the rest of the tournament games. April 3, 1932 Were we surprised to see Lloyd Downes arrive at school in a brand new Ford roadster? Oh! Lucky boy, and will that car ever be used. April 10, 1932 Iona Sheehe came back to school to-day on crutches after being out of school because she broke her leg while playing field-hockey for L. H. S. Gee, we were so glad to see her back again that we all jumped for a chance to help her through the corridors or to carry her books. Iona adopted this motto, Anything for jolly old L. H. S. What a fine way to look at it. May 9, 1932 In assembly to-day the cutest play was given and Marian Sanders made the snappiest and most alert priv- ate secretary I've ever seen. A peach of a girl and her hair. Oh-Oh. June 14, 1932 Glorious day, but school. Oh, well, we are almost through three-fourths of our high school career and we are fulfilling our class motto, From Possibility to Ac- tuality, because we have the greatest, most magnifi- cent, most stupendous class ever to wend its way through L. H. S. From one who knows. Here's my Senior year, Hazel, and up to date too. September 10, 1932 With the beginning of school came the rumor that three brothers were coming to L. H. S. I pity those boys if they live up to the girls' expectations and if the girls do all they say they will. September 14, 1932 Into room 34 walked 6ft. 3in. of youth. Every girl's head popped up from her book and poor Sargent Jealous was in the lime-light for a time, probably, too long for him. We nick named him Shorty because of his 6ft. 3in. We were mighty glad to have Shorty in our class and we know that he must have had inside information on just what was the best class in L. H. S. October 3, 1932 We chose our class flower to-day and although some of the boys fmuch to our disgustj voted for pansies there were enough who wanted talisman roses to win the vote. Because of the cut in the school budget we might have had to do without our art club but such a drastic thing could not happen because our class sup- plied the very person to take the club in hand. The per- son being, our class artist, Thelma Goodfellow. I don't know what will happen to L. H. S. after our departure. October 20, 1932 We got report cards to-day and after looking at one another's cards, a few of us got in a corner and came to the conclusion that Ed. Cushman has decided to study this year. Of course, this can't last very long, but we shall eagerly await the outcome. November 8, 1932 Now that football and hockey are over Miss Doughty is going to take our spare time because we are going to present a Chinese operetta to Mr. and Mrs. Public. A new girl, in our class, Louise Tuttle, is going to take the lead. She seems to have all the pep and it inthe world. December 10, 1932 We have found a hidden genius in our class and it is none other than Norman Townsend who decided to go out for winter sports to win his letter or emblem his first year which he did. Stan Nelson and he are on the 1 L
