CYNTHIA ANNE LACKEY “Cynthia” “Morte” Home Economics Club, 8, 1; U-Name-It Club, 1; Glee Club, 1, 2; Dramatic Club, 2, 3. Cynthia, that amiable pal, has made many friends at L. H. S. with her winning smile and lively personality. She is always willing to help anyone at any time and to top it all—she has brains! Her favorite language is French and she is also interested in “un certain garcon francais.” Well, “au revoir,” Morte, and the best of everything always. THOMAS HENRY LACKEY “Tommy” Arts and Crafts Club, 2; Boys’ Sports Club, 1, 2; Dramatic Club, 2; Foot- ball, 3, 4. That friendly guy who has been a familiar figure at L. H. S. for several years—of course, it’s none other than Tommy. Dark-haired, deep-voiced Tommy will be remembered by all of us for his jokes, pranks, and especially his tardiness (even though he has the fastest car in school). We tip our hats to a swell guy and say “Best of luck.” FRIEDRICH GERHARD LACKMANN,, Jr. “Sonny” Glee Club, 3, 4; “Patience,” 3; Forensic Club, 3, 4; Library Club, 4; Honor Court, 4; Chemistry Club, 4; Latin Club, 3; Hall of Fame, 4. Sonny arrived at L. H. S. in his junior year from Blytheville, Arkansas. It did not take him long to find out what makes L. H. S. tick and to get his fingers into the works. Sonny is our silver-tongued orator whose major interest is the radio station, WREL. He is the pride and joy of every teacher’s class, for he always has a ready answer for every question. We know that Sonny will do well, first at W. L., and later in his radio career. IDA LEE LAUCK Tittle One” “Ida Lee” Glee Club, 8, 1, 2, 4; “Patience,” 2; Girls’ Monogram Club, 4; Dramatic Club, 2; Latin Club, 8, 1; Basketball, 8, 1, 2, 4; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Scar- Letter Staff, Business Manager, 4. Although Ida Lee is little in stature, she certainly will leave an empty space in the heart of everyone here at L. H. S. She has charmed us all with her winning smile and those sparkling brown eyes. Even though we haven't had “Little One” with us as long as we'd like, we wish her the best of luck and all the happiness in the world. S4 le, =f 14 }e

Well you’ve found him in C. J., as most people around school know him. Wit and personality plus claim him as a friend of all. C.

This is the smart little Miss who is our musician. You can always be sure it is Irene playing for assemblies, telling the latest joke, or arguing the pros and cons of a debate question. Dependable, intelligent, with personality plus and a friendly smile, Irene is really going to be missed at L. H. S. Mary Baldwin is surely getting a worth-while prize in a small package. Good luck, Irene. BILLY ROYGE KESLER “Billy” Industrial Arts, 1; Latin Club, 2; Honor Court, 3. Although quiet and reserved, Billy is very friendly and gets along well with other people, especially with the girls! He has proven his trait of dependa- bility and eager willingness to work by service on the Honor Court. Here's wishing you the best of luck, Billy. You’re bound to succeed in whatever you undertake.

Who is that cute little gal with such a sparkling personality? It’s Carolyn, of course! Yep, she’s the girl with a long string of admirers (especially one certain guy who wil! always hold a “memorial” for her). Whether cheerlead- ing, playing basketball, or doing homework, Mutt always does it wholeheartedly. The halls of “ye olde school” will seem empty without our Carolyn. The Class of 50 hopes that all your plans for the future will come true.

Red, having left us in his sophomore year to join Uncle Sam, returned after several years in the Navy and became very active in sports and school work. Red is that fast little end who feels quite at home on a football field, and is always loyal to his team. With that wonderful personality and sense of humor, he has won the respect and admiration of everyone at L. H. S. Here’s wishing you the best of everything in the future, Red. HARRY VAUGHAN LEWIS, Jr. “Louie” “Harry” Boys’ Sport Club, 1; Chemistry Club, 4; Honor Court, 4; Executive Com- mittee, 3. Harry came to good old L. H.

Always making top grades and giving willing assis- tance, Louie has proven that he is one who will succeed. Good luck!

Cass has won countless friends among the opposite sex and somehow or other (?) has gained the nickname, Sunset, which often rings through the halls of L. H. S. At her request the Class of °50 bequeaths her to Sweet Briar.
