Class Poem The Senior Fare-Well Today we’re Seniors of L. H. S. We look back at the past , To recall the precious school events Which seem to pass too fast. When we came to join Lebanon High, That unforgettable day , We came to fully prepare ourselves , To journey long life’s way. During our four years at L. H. S. Many fell by the wayside. We that remained studied long and hard, And we kept up our stride. We thank the cooperative faculty, Who have led us the four years. The sad thought of parting from our school Brings eyes filled with tears. Soon we’ll give our dear school a farewell, And we ll say our last goodbye, As we slowly depart and look back, Visions of school days go by. The great, vast world is before us, Its goodness and its sorrow , We are becoming the world’s leaders, The builders of tomorrow. Class Poet Dot C. Pratt Page 16

Class History At times in the course of human affairs, it becomes necessary to pause for a moment in order to reminisce and record the fullest and most pleasurable years of our lives. Such an occasion now presents itself to the “Graduating Class of 1950.” Before leaving our Alma Mater, we wish to be somewhat like the Moors in Spain, who having been driven from their last stronghold, gave a long and deep sigh as they threw a moment’s glance over their past years in their beloved Alhambra. We, the alumni to be, should like to review the events of our past four years at Lebanon High School. Four years ago the history of the class of ' 50 began, when Lebanon High, having thrown her portals wide open, stood like a great statue with outstretched arms waiting to welcome us, to keep us, to teach us, and to prepare us for a bright and useful future. Many varied and rare experiences have been lived and enjoyed by our class. Many friends have been made; their companionship has added moments of bliss. With the years passing so rapidly, we hardly found time to do as much as we really desired. Each year, the world seemed to become smaller, and by the time we were sophomores we thought it so small that we knew everything in it. When we returned in 1947, we were con- scious of our limitations; yet we resolved to prove our worth and assume a place in the ac- tivities of high school life. We worked hard, realizing our long-looked-forward-to Junior year was near. When school began the next fall, we re- turned with the eager characteristics of those who are about to enter upon their Junior year. As Juniors, we were approximately 56 strong, and once more we started on a year of hard work and many accomplishments. This year, though filled with work, was also filled with pleasure. In September, 1949, forty-six of us returned to Lebanon High School for the fourth and last time to assume some of the dignity not car- ried away by the preceding Senior Class. Dur- ing this year we intended, not only to maintain the high standards of the past, but also to excel them. As we near the end of our high school ca- reer, we cannot be but sad that we must depart. We, the class of 1950, wish to thank the faculty for their patience in teaching and preparing us for our vocations. With a feeling of gratitude and a promise to uphold her honor, we bid Lebanon High School, our beloved Alma Ma- ter, an affectionate farewell! Jane Meade, Class Historian Page 18
