Lehigh High School - Eagle Yearbook (Lehigh, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1965 volume:

SAG l£ FOREWORD The purpose of this yearbook, Eagle '65, is to call to remembrance the glory and trials that were found in the halls of LRHS during this past school year. If this remembrance instills within the reader a new sense of devotion and loyalty to his present as well as past associations, this book has accomplished its purpose. This annual represents a composite of all that we as faculty, staff members, and students have experienced in our school days dur- ing the past year. As we view these pages, may we be encouraged to take our place in life, realizing that as we have a place in this annual which only we can fill, so there is a niche in society which only we can fill.
