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
