The Crystal Boll We came like the wind, and like the water we go. Mustering all the mental facilities procured in our sojourn at Ruffner, we armed ourselves for the anticipated struggle of ,43. Struggle did I say?-Blitz is more appropriate. The only hitch', in the suggestion that we give each Freshman a detailed blueprint of the High School md an accurate compass, is that it would deprive the seniors of the giggle-provoking memories of confusion upon becoming members of the elite Four Hundred of L. H. Sf, Some may have considered the Class of '46 a jinx, but in our estimation we were inspirational to reform. With the gust that swept us in, came the new institution of physical education, which our teachers vowed would be the veritable vitamin pill to perk up our emaciated physiques. The courageous instructors consisted of the faculty en massef, Oh, sweet memoriesAthose invigorating hikes down Ross Road, Miss Hamilton's snazzy anklets and Mrs. Tardy's fascinator. Since We're enjoying our thoughts CI hopej about 'work-outs,' how about those rugged sessions with Mr. Horton? Remember when that beloved 'jeu d,esprit,' while trying futilely to teach his future Einsteins, would suddenly be struck with the revelation that the hair of his star pupil CM. W. Tyree, or was it Boots Howland D had acquired the 77 same trait of a chameleon? Speaking of beloved teachers, in ,43 the key to our hearts was borrowed for keeps by Mrs. I aw, who, with her helpfulness, has enriched our memories with her Latin assembly programs and the successful Information Please with the civics students as contestants and D. VVhite as M. C. It seems as though the Latin teachers have really taught us the meaning of 631110, amas, amat, in reference to them, for the key to another entrance of our hearts has gone astray and the possessor is-one guess! It was through Miss Hamilton's sponsorship that we Freshmen, by portraying scientists, were famous for a dayfSnider and Marr made nice Koolls penguins. CNO offenseiremember that assembly program, Guess Wholvj Ah, life was fun but not all happy-go-lucky, for that year we first put our finger in the pie of L. H. S.'s government by electing Edwin Gaines as our president and jane Moore and George Lauderdale as our able representatives for the Executive Committee. And so we left our first star behind, as we mounted to a higher one as a stepping stone in our trek to our final constellation. We faced the year 1944 with a more daring attitude for is it altitude, since we were walking on clouds now that we were sophomores ?Q With the new semester we greeted new teachers, Miss Morrison and Mr. Farrar, who were brave enough to undertake the task of our Biceps-Builders, and in whom we found unceasing air and encouragement. And we will never forget the way our faces, saddened by the loss l14l
