We, the bane of Mrs. Tardy’s existence, the despair of Mr. Waddell’s heart, the cause of the resignation of many teachers, without doubt the “brightest” class to ever be set loose upon the all unsuspecting world, upon shaking the sacred dust of L. H. S. forever from our heels, do ordain and establish this last Will and Testament. CLAUSE I. To Professor Harrington Waddell, we hereby bequeath all the coal left over after turning off the heat at eleven o’clock on Friday. To Kenneth Ashby Thompson, we bequeath a package of gum for the girls. To Mrs. Tardy, we hope to leave another Freshman Class as brilliant as we were. To Mrs. Boykin, we give our best wishes. To Miss Owen, we hereby bequeath a few inches. To Miss Sieg, we gladly leave the prospects for a class in the future which will carry itself with the dignity befitting a Senior of L. H. S. To Miss Moore, we will the ability to tell a good story once only. To Miss Varina Elliott, we leave some life. Page sixteen

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 9, 1926, was not regarded as an eventful day in L. IT. S. until we proved by our record in all phases of activities that it was an event when the present Seniors first entered the sacred portals o f the Anne Smith Academy. Under the kindly and maternal guidance of Mrs. Tardy, we established several high ideals which we have endeavored to carry out. The happy-go- lucky spirit of our class preeminent from the beginning, did not keep us from giving the best that was in us when called upon by the school for any favor. In our Sophomore year we planted a class tree, Pluto by name. The tree was named according to our reputation for that year. Our class has had its finger in the pie in all phases of school activities. Each year rve were called upon by the Crystal and Echo staffs. This year under the editorship of Julia Desha the Echo has been very successful. We have had stars in all the athletics. The football team of 1929 expe- rienced one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school under the captaincy of Charlie Straub. For the first time since the introduction of girls’ basketball, the team, under the leadership of Frances Morris, carried off the entire honors of the basketball season. The versatility of the Senior Class was proA’ed by the selection of the entire cast of the Senior play from its members. Farewell to L. H. S. and all the good times r e have had within its eight 3.0 CS. Page fifteen
