CHARLES THOMPSON LAW ‘Law’ “Charles” Science Club, 8, 1; Latin Club, 2. Charles is one of those boys who is always around when you need him (?). There is never a dull moment when he’s in sight, for Law’s humor and wit keep us laughing all the time. His friendly pranks and mischievous remarks shall remain with us for some time, especially his ability to charm the teachers. Here’s wishing you all the luck in the world, Charles.

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. S. as an eighth grader five long years ago, and has been a constant and faithful friend to all of us since then.

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.

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.

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

Dependability, wit, and good nature are only a few characteristics of Nancy who came to us from Brownsburg in her sophomore year and won a place in everyone’s heart by her friendliness and willingness to participate in school activities.

Allen” “Dee” Boys’ Sports Club, 2; Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Library Club, 1; Monogram Club, 3, 4. That handsome guy running around the halls of L. H. S. with a “Pepsodent” smile for everyone is none other than Dee. His quiet, reserved ways and cheer- ful disposition have made him a friend to both teachers and classmates. In the line of athletics Dee is at home on the football field, basketball court and golf coutse. Good luck in the future, Allen.

Jeanie, who came to L. H. S. from Tennessee, brought with her an eye for fun and a friendly smile. Whether on the basketball court (playing left for- ward), of in a group of girls (or boys) cracking the latest joke, or hurriedly doing her classwork, we think of her as a grand girl with a personality which has won her many a heart. Best of luck to you, “Jeanie with the light brown hair”! f 16 e
