Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1948 volume:

Lebanon High School J94S Mr. Lynn F. Moore, Principal Mr. Moore, a native son of West Virginia, has served Russell County well for almost a decade and a half. He has been teacher and principal of Honaker High School and principal of Dante High School. He left his position as principal of Honaker High School to serve in World War II. Returning in November, 1946, he was next appointed Elementary Super- visor. In November of 1947, he was called upon to fill the vacancy in the principalship of Lebanon High School. Mr. Moore has impressed all of us with his constructive ideas about education. It’s almost a philosophy with him that fine character and honest educational effort lead to the noblest goals of life — being a gentle- man or a lady.

Elizabeth McCloud Class Poet Class Colors Class Flower Green and White Red Rose MOTTO ' Knoivledge is promt that she has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that she knows no more.” a 6 6 i J t o r As time rolls by, so does history. Four years ago a group of very active, but stubborn, infants walked through the doors of Lebanon FFigh School. They were always ready to dispute someone’s word and to fight for their rights. As classes opened, we had ninety-six members on the Cradle Roll.’’ Vi’e did not realize that our career was ahead of us. If we had, maybe we would have worked harder. ’ ' X ' hat we learned was through the process of osmosis! Among our brilliant class, we had one girl on the basketball squad. In our sophomore year, we felt the urge to indulge in the process of studying, but something which was always more enticing came up. Our assignments began to — shall we say — get harder, but we glided through with the greatest of ease. We had fun and if there as a spare moment left, we crammed for that test or exam. Our basket- ball teams were Victorious Russell County Champions. A struggle? Yes, but we plowed through ’em all — straight to viktre.” We had, from our class, two girls and one boy on the squad. Liz” received All-County. In our Junior year, the Seniors gave us a very successful parts ' . Everyone had fun and visualized the day sve would be tops.” Late in the spring, we gave a party, with the Seniors as our guests. There was fun for all and plenty to eat, even though times were rugged. We had now learned the art of skipping class — only to get reprimanded by Mr. Moore. Again Victory turns our way. ' X’e had two girls and four boys from our class on the squad. Again, Liz” received All-County Guard. As Seniors we had pride that we had more privileges than the Juniors. Yet, are we as sure now as when we were greens” that life is a bed of roses, without thorns? We gave them a Hallowe’en Party and had lots of fun. In January, Temple Hill High School burned and the students in high school came to L. H. S. Our activities were curtailed, but our open hearts welcomed them to our Castle. On February 28 , 1948 , Lebanon Girls’ Team played Honaker Girls’ Team in the tournament. Honaker won the trophy by four points. The Lebanon Boys’ Team played Temple Hill Boys’ Team on Friday night, Februarv 27 . Temple Hill won. We had three girls and four boys on the squad from our Senior Class. Now, as graduation draws near, our class has dropped to the small number of forty-nine. As time rolls on, we can look back and see the many mistakes we have made and hope that these can be corrected in future life. Many of our classmates have fallen by the wayside. Three of our girls married at the beginning of the year and we wish them the best of luck. Many have participated in such activities as the Christmas Pageant, Glee Club, Senior plays, and sports. And now, we wish to extend our most sincere appreciation to the Faculty, both High School and Elementary; and to our principal, Mr. Moore, for their splendid work in helping us to prepare ourselves for the Climb to Success.” Jean Hedrick, Class Historian SENIOR CLASS WILL Nancy Warner wills five pounds to Mary Kath- erine Robinson and Betty Jackson.

Anne Kate Williams Class Legator CLASS PROPHECY After twenty years have drooled by, we find Leb- anon a huge metropolis of 2 5,000 of which 49 are prominent citizens and also graduates of L. H. S. As this is the twentieth anniversary of our grad- uating class, we are meeting for the first time at Hotel Lebanon under the management of J. L. Fields. As I entered, whom should I meet but my old friend, Jo Jo Duff, now a typical scientist with a goatee. ' X ' ith him is his charming wife, none other but Clara Mae Sword, who is now a home economics teacher. Our host, J. L. Fields, next appeared with another old friend, James Trigg Gillespie, the owner of the Squee Department Store.” As we assembled in the orchid room, we were somewhat surprised to see Elizabeth McCloud as hostess. She seated us at a table opposite ' X ' alter Fields, Clyde Ferguson, and E ' illy Rhea, partners in the Fields, Ferguson, and Rhea Lumber Company.” As we turn back the pages of time, Billy Rhea tells us that Ethel Marie Gilbert is now playing the part of Baby Snooks over Jack Smith’s WCYL broadcasting station. Also over WCYL we hear each night the famous band leader, James Glenn, with his five piece brass band consisting of Ollie Helton, Jean Settle, Horace Davis, Dallas Hubbard, and Mabel Eerguson. His great crooning star, George Williams, succeeded Erank Sinatra years ago. As we tuned in, we heard him sing There’s a Chill on the Hill Tonight.” We next hear a scheduled ten-minute speech from Bobby Leonard, president of The Tri-County Grange. It lasted two hours. After hearing this short speech, we next proceeded to the Princess Theatre, meeting our old friend, Virginia Snead, who is giving away tickets to a basketball game. Edith Fields, Fannie Jessee, and Augustus Chafin ushered us to our seats. It was then that Mary Jane Morrison appeared on the stage singing Too Fat Polka.” Five chorus girls (with their beautiful legs) came out dancing to the music of a hill-billy band with Rheba Johnson, Nancy Warner, Hilma Hawkins, Louise Hubbard, and Estella Garrett. Jean Hedrick, Beatrice Hawkins, Hester Nunley, and Gaynelle Boardwine were the chorus girls. Tiring of this, we next go to the opening of the Barnum Bailey Circus. The first perform- ance of the evening turned out to be Anne Pratt on the flying trapeze. As we focused our eyes on the entrance, we saw Harold Bausell, weighing a little less than 5 00 pounds, with his wife, Virginia Dale, barely balancing the scales at 104. Whom should we now see but Bobby Owens who had given up his ambition to become a flyer to turn into one of the greatest acrobats of all time. We wandered on to find Jackie Wilson who was the engineer on the Choo Choo Train” for kiddies. As we turned to view some more of the sights we bumped into that famous juggler, Joe Worley Stinson. Talking to him, we discovered that Routh Smith and Billy Joe Dorton were bow-legged cowboys. Entering the tent where the hep-cat perform- ance had begun, we saw Anna Kate Williams, Fan- nie Cumbow, and Marion Brooks. Going into a fortune tellers booth, I found Lillian Fields sitting at a table gazing intently at a large crystal ball. Then looking upon the crystal ball, I saw myself proposing, I mean, prospecting for a gold mine in Campbell’s Hardware. Upon my exit, I ran into Billy Fields, who said that he and Charles Jenks were lion tamers. He said it was only a temporary job as they were practicing this so they could tame their wives-to-be, Wilma Jean Price and Ada Garrett. — Dorothy Vencille.

Charlie Robinson, Ama Saddler, Jackie Fiargis, lini Gillespie, John Pruner, Louise Jessee, Betty Ann Combs, Jackie C ' ilson. The Monogram Club is one of the most active organizations in the school. Its sales of ice cream are a financial windfall, and it has used the money to buy an electric scoreboard for the gymnasium. It annually entertains one county and one out-of-the- county ball club. Last year’s picnic outing was held at Hungry Mother Park. GLEE CLUB Kou 1: A. ' K ' illiams, V. Torbett, K. Robinson, P. Lowe, B. Hargis, Miss Henrietta Hargis, P. Jessee M. Ferguson, S.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Highlights of the FFA year are the initiation of the Greenhands,” and the barbe- cue which has been held the last two years for the boys, their dads, and invited guests. It might be well to mention also the candy which they sold (some good, some ??). HOME EC. CLUB The FHA’s have one advantage over the rest of the school — they can cook, taste, stitch and restitch. They have also contributed to the school in another fashion — they have enlivened the faculty with teas and refreshments. The chemistry club is a relatively new organization in the school. It has been active as a class in conducting those experiments which are always delightful to a chemistry student as he momentarily forgets the routine of memorizing and proving a new formula. S C A The SCA is the highest ranking club in the school. It is composed of the president, vice-president, and secretary of the SCA along with the presidents of each class and the major organization officers in the various clubs in the school. LATIN CLUB Mrs. Griffith, Sponsor SAFETY PATROL Miss S. mpson, Sponsor These two clubs are doing effective work. One is trying to preserve the glories that were Rome, and the other in snow, in rain, in sun, and in wind is making it safer to go to school.
