The stu- dent must strive also to develop in all areas of ability — academically, socially, spiritually, and physically. We feel all of these strivings are explained by the seal of our school. Encircling the seal is a wreath, one half of olive leaves, the other half of oak. The olive leaf is the emblem of peace. The oak leaf represents strength and beauty. The crossed guns are symbols of pre- paredness, and are not for any warlike purpose. Just as they helped our pioneer forefathers to conquer the wilderness, our school, church, home, and all such organizations are prepar- ing our minds and bodies to the job which the guns did. The ax is a symbol of industry. With- out the symbol high school life would be a dull, unsuccessful one; with it one will most likely be successful. The next symbol is the torch, signifying knowledge. With knowledge, ignor- ance fades away. The rising sun behind the three hills remind us of the goodness of God that spreads like rays of the sun to warm and nourish all. And last, but by no means least, is our motto, Forward, Always Forward , which symbolizes all our efforts for unceasing progress. memory 5 Our fellowship with friends teaches us how to live with others effectively. 7orwaru Throughout high school, whether in the classroom, at a ballgame, or just talking to friends, we go forward through numerous experiences. From these ex- periences, we learn how to live with and understand our fellow students. By in- creasing our interests and participating in all activities, we are widening our horizons, putting depth into our souls, and going forward in all quests of our lives. Studying is a good habit and must be practiced often for perfection. The teacher-student experience increases understanding and aids our development. 6 numerous experiences IS EXHALATION OF T01JACC0 SMOKE IIABMITL It) MICK : COU Mill ' s Xjjrvj Through academic experiences, we gain knowl- edge and grow in mind. Working up science fair projects takes long hours of hard work, but these first-place winners feel the experience was well worth the time.

Dianne Rasnake wipes a joyful tear away after being crowned Homecoming Queen. 7 Jorwarcf Seniors find that learning American government takes long hours of study. Our extra-curricular activities offer some- thing for everyone — the academically talented, the athletic, the career-minded, and those who promote school spirit. Nothing contributes more to a student’s growth than an active interest in opportunities for research, study, and partici- pation. It is this participation that enables us to go forward through developing personalities. These members of the Speech Class spent many hours work- ing up an informative debate for the student body. John Adams and Pat Foy demonstrate the guillotine to their world history class. 8 through developing person Long hours of practice have to be observed to be a winner on any team. Our athletes have learned to play whole-heartedly- -with outstanding results. Participating in the Speech Class Play gives us opportunities to explore new personalities. Studying is not all; cheerleaders make their contributions to various sports by pep rallies to spur the team on to victory. 9 7 ' orwarcf LHS students plan their courses and plot their directions into whatever way they hope to go when they graduate. Frequent tests are administered to help each student to learn what his aptitudes are. Under- standing and efficient teachers also help students to grow and to think for them- selves. Through this guidance we reach toward higher goals and become grateful that LHS has offered us the best of every- thing. A trip to College Night at Richlands High School helped Seniors with their choice of colleges. Agriculture students learn experience is the best teacher. Term papers teach students how to do research and how to organize their ideas. 10 Charles Hargis, Carolyn Davis, Tommy Bunion, Ava Gillespie, Garren McGlothlin, and Gim Helvey are waiting to take the College Board Examination.

Devotion is the only word to properly describe these people who give long hours of service to the cause of education. By these faithful guides, students are shown the brighter side that is so often clouded by the worries of life. Often it is the friendship of a teacher and his friendly hello” that gives a needed extra boost. In our quest of guidance, the teachers who worked us the hardest and the longest are the ones who will be longest remem- bered. Xjrwarcf IN QUEST ■ • ' m f l . m Quicfa ance OF Mrs. H. B.

The eighth graders appeared awed at the challenge of the coming years. Freshmen had become conservative after having found that study is required for success. Sophomores began more concentrated study in biology, algebra, and French. Juniors faced a year of hard work and the responsibility for raising money to fi- nance the Senior Prom. Seniors happily began that long anticipated year which included exercising cherished priv- ileges, receiving classrings, enjoying Rat Week, and trying out for the Sr. Play. June brought graduation and the end of their high school career. As the Class of 1966 left, they went remem- bering that their quest of academic achievement at LHS had brought work and play, laughter and tears, and friends and moments never to be for- gotten.

Many memorable events took place during the year. The seniors participated in College Night. Ordering calling cards and invitations and measuring for caps and gowns brought i aduation nearer. Every senior enjoyed three days of leisure and fun during traditional Rat Week. The senior play brought many hours of practice and hard work, but the reward came when the play was pre- sented. The class attended Barter Theater and saw TWELFTH NIGHT. Seniors danced at the prom. Finally the long awaited Graduation Day arrived. li we naoe.

Senior Sic tivi ties Besides plenty of study and hard work a Sen- ior ' s year is filled with many special activities. These activities leave with each Senior memories that will last a long time. They will never forget College Night, all the time spent choosing a col- lege, receiving their class rings, exchanging call- ing cards, and attending the Barter Theater. In the spring the Prom was held, the Senior Play was given, and a picnic was enjoyed by many of the Seniors . Finally all the excitement of graduation — practicing marching, trying on caps and gowns, and taking final exams — completed their memories. 30 Willingly, seniors are measured for their caps and gowns. The picnic at Hungry Mother ' s Park sure was a lot of fun. Exchanging calling cards is a cherished tradition among seniors. The caps and gowns have arrived! Seniors eagerly try them on and adjust their tassels. 31 Senior Director ANDERSON, JACQUELINE - Jr. Tri-Hi-Y 1,2; Chaplain 1; Trail Blazer Staff 1,2; Homeroom Vice-President 1; Pioneer Staff 3,4; FTA 3,4; President 4; State FTA Convention 3,4; SCA 4; Speech Class Play 4.

J Juniors Foremost in the thoughts of the largest junior class in the history of Lebanon High School was the prom. Mindful of this fact, they sponsored many activities to raise money. A Mr. Football contest, a Sadie Hawkins race and dance, the sale of school pennants, and an appearance on Klassroom Kwiz were among the activities sponsored. Mrs. Alma Buckles, Mrs. Helen Gilmer, Mrs. Mary Pruner, and Mrs. Janette Wagoner, the sponsors, gave their time to make our year successful.

[Junior CTIctioi ies During their third year of high school the Juniors are kept very busy. Rat Week is the highlight of their year when they must comply with all the Seniors ' wishes. At the end of the week the Juniors display their many talents as entertainment for the Seniors. A trip to the Barter Theater to see You Can ' t Take It With You is another important event they looked forward to and enjoyed. The finale of the Juniors ' year is the Junior-Senior Prom for which they spent many hours selling different items, holding dances, planning, working, and decorating. Carolyn Davis shows Miss Mike Wright how to wear his hair. 40 To raise money for the Prom, Lewis Ballenberger sells Lebanon Pioneer pennants to the students. The Rat Juniors entertain the Seniors with a song during lunch. Decorations take shape as the Prom becomes a reality to the Juniors. 41 Sophomore officers: Hubert Nash, President; John Adams, Vice-President; Bill Gilmer, Treasurer; Diana Jones, Secretary. Sophomores The consensus of opinion of the sophomore class is that the sophomore was the hardest of all the years yet. This year has been made easier, however by the many memories of class participation in club initiations, parties and the watching of foot- ball and basketball ga mes. The first half of our sophomore year has looked promising with very few fail- ures. 1965 and 66 will long stand out in our memories as THE YEAR in many ways.

That is an age-old cliche, but one that seldom wears out during high school. Activities are an integral part of the typical student ' s life at LHS. For every student ' s interest or ability, there is a club or organization where he may direct his energy. Many organizations honor the school ' s excellent students for their work. Still others do school and community services. Club pro- jects such as plays, bake sales, community drives, and dances were all on the year ' s agenda. Going forward in quest of responsibilities has provided fun, relaxation, service, and added knowledge as deviations from the ordinary rou- tine of school. ' orwaro IN QUEST OF es ponsi unity The 1966 Pioneer was formulated by the hustle and bustle of countless jobs and deadlines to meet. The hard work began early in September as the staff began soliciting ads. When an all-time high in ad sales was reached, the staff had every rea- son to be proud. After this task was completed, the staff settled down and set their pencils in motion. The dummy copy took shape, pictures were made, and copy was written. The subscription drives were held and final copies of the pages were completed. The activities of the staff included sponsoring an Annual Signing Party and sending two members to the SIPA Convention. The annual received an Honor Award at the Convention.

Measure- less education is gained from being with other people in competitive sports. LHS students have been enthusiastic in their participation in and support of sports. Parts of summer vacation were sacrificed to begin early training, and after school time was spent with hours of practice to perfect the game. Crisp autumn nights brought football games. Basketball provided a change of pace during winter months, and the crack of the bat and the swift flight of a track meet appeared with spring. Our quest of athletic achievement provided hours of fun, excitement, education and countless memories. A 130 ! oj Qj y H i 7 orwarcf IN QUEST OF Cathie tic C lchieuemeni FIRST ROW: T. Bundy; J.

Perhaps we’ll look back some day and the memories we have will not all be of the lessons learned in class, but of the fun we had. The fondest, happiest memories of our school will not be the color of the tile, the food in the cafeteria, the dates memorized in history, the themes written in English, or the names of all the teachers, but we will remember the happy times we had in our quest of social fulfillment.

Whether it was with a quickened step and a happy smile or with a reluctant tread and a tear, the seniors left LHS with fond memories of the work and its rewards; of the magic of dreams; and of the harmony, of the chaos, of the logic, of the par- ticipation, of the fun, and of the friends. The Class of 1966 left knowing that in this advanced age man needs a deeper understand- ing of his past, his progress, and his future. As they said good-bye to the alma mater they knew that they were at only the beginning and their aspirations now were to be to go Forward, Always Forward in quest of the future. O orwarcf IN QUEST . j | jM 9 :1 1 t «M mMhM m ■ w OF uhe 7ulure Jjaccaf aureate The Class of 1966 approached graduation, the turning point in their education, with faith and admi- ration for those who have successfully guided them through their high school years. They looked upon the occasion with thoughtful attention and a serious mind. After the award of diplomas and the induction of the Class of 1967, the Seniors knew that their time of ’’Change, Challenge, and Choice” meant they must go forward in quest of the future. Mr. G. B. Whited introduces the speaker. Dr. Heisse Johnson tells the Class of 1966 to find happiness by giving of themselves. With mixed emotions, Seniors listen attentively to the Baccalaureate Sermon. 100 Hi Eighty-one students made up the Class of 1966, Seniors come out of the auditorium after an inspiring Baccalaureate Service, Parents and friends enjoy the message delivered by Dr. Johnson. 101 Graduation As the Class of 1966 received their diplomas, they knew there must be a parting of ways; yet, they were reluctant to grant their places to their succes- sors. Realizing that one phase of their education has come to a close, they opened their eyes and started forward in quest of higher goals and the future. However, they were mindful of the fact that no force is great enough to cause them to lose the understanding and knowledge they have acquired by attending Lebanon High School.

Willingly and cheerfully, they gave their contribu- tions to help make possible the publication of a yearbook for the preservation of our high school memories. With this community assistance and generosity, people, events, and countless memories of the 1965-66 school year have been recorded. To these interested people we owe gratification for their assistance in helping us go forward in experiences and education.

As we were guided by teachers, as we learned and grew through classes, activities, and athletics, and as we laughed and cried in moments of joy or defeat, we have completed the 1965 -66 school year at Lebanon High School. We can ' t believe that the year is over and the 1966 PIONEER is finished. It is difficult to please everyone, but we have sincerely tried to give you the best annual possible. At last it is in your hands, and we hope that YOU are pleased. We wish to express a special thank you to the following people who helped make the development and publishing of the 1966 PIONEER reality: Miss Nell Howard, advisor, without whose patient help the 1966 Pioneer could not have been edited; Mr. George B. Whited, principal, and the faculty for their unfailing cooperation; The many businesses whose advertising made this annual possible; And, finally, you, the students of LHS, for giving us the honor and opportunity of publishing the 1966 PIONEER. Sincerely, Ava Gillespie, Editor Sharon Brown, Business Manager
