ARCHIE BLAINE JESSEE Nov. 26, 1927 -Aug. 7, 1945 Death came to Archie beneath the placid water of a lake in which he had gone swimming. He had many of the typical traits of American youth. He lived with a boy ' s faith that the world ' s storehouse of pleasures is never empty. Young people liked him especially; older peo- ple were pleased to call him a friend. Students of L. H. S. served as flower girls and pallbearers. In the soft mellow glow of an Au- gust sunset they bade him good- bye as the chimes played, Sleep, Beautiful Dreamer.

In September, 1942, there arrived on the campus of L. H. S. original specimens of the hu- man race, later known as freshies. Clad in various and variegated attires, they formed an unique as well as interesting body. This body apparently entirely unoffensive and incapable of harming even a mouse, meandered around the campus and building, asking questions, getting acquainted, and finally settled in a swarm on the third floor. This wandering crowd of freshies was kindly treated by all — even Mr. Walthall addressing them as Ladies and Gentlemen. Settling down to work the winter soon passed and by the time spring rolled around the sufficient spirit had been installed into the freshies to feel their oats and so under the watchful eye of the haughty Seniors they started a history in which they unani- mously decreed that the history of the 1946 class should be writ in letters more enduring than bronze. On the following September the doughty and no longer freshies but sophs were on the grounds and on the job. At the roll call many of our brave number were missing, but our consequent sorrow was in a measure lightened by the arrival of Beatrice Fields. In spite of our losses we were determined to reach our goal as we climbed ever onward up the steep grade. At the roll call in September of our Junior year we welcomed to our class Harper Brame, Frances Stapleton, Ruth Gibson, and Claude Kinder. At this, the third period of our existence, we stood ready to pass into that perfect stage, the goal which two years ago, even the most far-sighted could but dimly discern on the far horizon. This period was somewhat saddened for us by the loss of our beloved principal, Mr. Walthall, but Mr. Monk came to our rescue and the veil of sorrow was lifted. And now the year of 1946 has come; a new member, Billie Fields, has been added to our roll. With her to help, we have fought the final fight. Those of us who have striven success- fully are to sit in glory on the platform in June, and receive, among the plaudits of the freshies, sophs, and juniors, the one thing that all high school boys and girls look forward to from the Heap Big Chief.
