nior C la6 6 o r Just four years ago, there came to Lebanon High School a group of rats , trying to reach the height of success. Some dropped by the wayside, while others joined the group. With a Sophomore roll of seventy-nine, we learned the mean- ing of skipping classes and had a feeling of pride because we were above the Freshmen and could tell them what to do, as we struggled for seven credits to become Juniors. As Juniors the road was getting easier and more interesting. With seventy-seven on roll, we had two girls and three boys on the basketball teams and three boys on the baseball team. At our Junior-Senior party, with the Juniors as hosts, there was fun for all. We feel that our principals have been the best to be found. Mr. Walthall, our sponsor and adviser in the Freshman year, was liked by all. He was ably replaced by Mr. Monk, our prin- cipal, as we journeyed through our Sophomore and Junior classes. Mr. Moore is our principal in the Senior year and has become very popular among the students in the school. Now that we have a Senior Class of sixty-eight, we shall soon reach our goal of graduation. As we glance backward over our high school work we can easily see the mistakes we have made, but we feel our work has not been in vain. Many of the things we lea rned during our school years will prove useful to us in the years to come. We are now ready to begin the Big Parade of Life for which we have been preparing for four years.

To you, Lebanon Hi, we give our praise For all your kindness in many ways. We will always look back and think of you With vivid memories both fond and true. We have worked these many years. We ' ve had some fun, and we ' ve had some tears. We think the beginning has been a success So we ' ll keep on working and try to progress. Our classroom experiences were thrilling and new And we gathered some facts in the sciences, too. Much in the fine arts have we learned As far into the night the candle was burned. Now ' tis the merry month of June When all the world ' s in happy tune. Our thoughts are both solemn and bright As you, dear school, fade out of sight. So now the time has come for us to part. This is not the end but just the start Of a journey which will take us far. And now, classmates, we say Au Revoir. Emma Jean Ferguson Class Poet Class Colors Green and White Class Flower Pink Rose Motto Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you.
