To next year'S Seniors and all classes, the class of '23 issues the call. Great success in all school organizations is in Store for them if the right kind of pushing is done. It is a spirit which cannot die if properly backed up, and next year's Senior class ought not to lack in backers ' R. W. M., '23. SCHOOL SPIRIT Lee Academy has been sadly lacking in school spirit this year. There has been no one to go ahead and boost our school. There should have been more Spirit shown at athletic games. NO cheer leader was elected, and consequently the cheer- ing section lacked pep and fight. A team will play twice as hard if it knows that the rest of the school is standing behind it. School spirit develops good Sportsman- ship and content amongst the student body. Let us all help boost L. A. in the future. O. P.. H., ,za

8 THE CRESCENT THE CRESCENT Tina Cruise:-:x'r is published once a year by the students of Lee Academy. Its purpose is to arouse an interest in our readers and the school. XYe feel that a sehotl paper is a help to the student in manv xvavs: giving a business training to manager, experience to the encouragement to the stu- dents, if the townspeople take an interest in it. There is nothing more beneficial to a school than the interest and good-will of the parents and townspeople. XYe hope we have succeeded this year in interesting the business editors, and the people of Lee in our school work. B. L. C., '23, ATHLETICS During the past year Lee Academy has had the most successful season since 1919- il 51720. This is the first yearithat there has been a successful football team. Une of the chief difficulties in the school is the lack of candidates. No second team to practice against was available, and therefore it was hard to form, a good team. Also when there is no competition 5 vm. . . , ' 116 for the different positions the members of team lose interest. , S. A. T., '23, THE WINTER OF '22 AND '23 The winter of '22 and ,223 was the most severe winter that there has been since the year of 1811. The first real big storm came about the twenty-ninth of December. The snow fell so fast that a person could not see two feet from his face. - - The roads were blocked so that they were not passable until the afternoon of the next day when they were ploughed out with a snow-plough. By woodsmen and surveyors it is stated that there was about four feet of snow on a level, and it did not start to melt or show any signs of melting until about the first of April. But in spite of the snowy winter Lee Academy did not lose one day of school, and on an average it had a good attendance. Extra praise is due those boys and girls who live two and three miles from the village for missing so few days of school. L. C. T., '2f1. .Q. '
