lasl Will and Teslamenl ol Ihe Senior Class We, the Seniors of L. C. H. S., being of sound mind, have decided to leave our out- standing faults and virtues to other members of the student body. Thus we hope to keep alive our memory in the hearts of the students and faculty. To the School: We leave the Liberty Bell and the Hi-Lights of L. C. H. S. which we hope will be the pride of the school. To the Faculty: We leave to you, dear teachers, our abilities we failed to use and our thanks for allow- ing our absence from so many assembly halls. To the Juniors: We leave our rights and privileges as Seniors. To all other under-classmen: We leave to each a portion of our ability to keep out of mischief. As individuals, we, the members of the Senior Class wish to leave some of our person- al traits and abilities. I, Bob Arnold, do hereby will my basketball ability to Dick Coolman, providing he uses it with an ounce of sense. I, Lena Betts, will my artistic drawing toMr. Herrnanson. I, Martha Frantz, do hereby will my shyness to Helen Durham, providing she uses it when most needed. I, Leroy Frantz, will my ability to change girl friends to the Junior boys. I, Clyde Harris, bequeath my dependability and quiet disposition to Kenneth Gerwig. I, Marion Hupp, possess only the spirit of independence and prefer to take it with me. I, Thomas Kizer, will my public speaking ability to Everett Sleppy, providing he gives it back after his graduation. I, Rex Kiser, will my ability to write love letters to Roger Shaw, providing he does not let his dad catch him. I, Clifford Minniear, bequeath my feet to anyone whose foundation is crumbling. I, Evelyn Oman, will my freckles to Mary Elizabeth Smith, providing she does not use freckle cream. I, Jack Tappy, bequeath my height to Jack Smith. I, Edna Wolf, will to Justine Grove my cute giggle. I, Glen Thompson, bequeath my much envied dimples to the highest bidder. I, Ralph Johnston, will my position as president of the Senior class to James Garrett. I, Anne Schneider, will my ability to appreciate jokes to Dorothy Rittenhouse. I, Kenneth Kumfer, will my ability to get and keep girl friends to Ward Coolman. I, Garnet Musselman, will my place in Home Economics class and my Chemistry marks to Ruby James.

Senior Class Hislory CLASS MOTTO- We build the ladder by which we risef' CLASS FLOWER-Pink Carnation. CLASS COLORS-Pink and Green. Alas! twelve years have come and gone since that eventful day in September 1928, when a bewildered group of youngsters enrolled in the institution known as school. Due to the fact that Liberty Township has two elementary schools some of our class went to the Poneto School, in a small town six miles southeast of Liberty Center. Those completing the first eight grades in Poneto received diplomas at a commence- ment service held at the Methodist Church in Poneto at the close of the school year. At the beginning of the Freshman year it has always been a custom to initiate all mem- bers of the class. The custom was to have the upper-classmen do this at school during noon. What an initiation it was! The girls were forced to wear their dresses wrong-side out and backwards. The upper-classmen gave their belts to the principal to make sure they were seen. He displayed them in front of the assembly for each girl to claim by going after her own. Many of the girls were also minus at least one shoe. Never fear! Those poor boys were so uncomfortable, even more than the girls I be- lieve. They were unfortunate enough to have to wear their clothes backwards too. It might be mentioned here that although all survived the treatment, our class was the last to be initiated in this manner. The classes following were initiated at an all high school party. The following year was quiet as we seemed to be saving up for our Junior year. After looking at rings from two salesmen we decided to purchase from the Herff-Jones Com- pany of Indianapolis. Deciding we wanted some real action, we chose the class play Marry Before Mid- night, a thrilling mystery play of three acts. Every one in the play will remember the screams of the girls, the astrial spirits that were forever hanging over the group, and fi- nally the happy ending. At the end of the year we gave our Junior-Senior reception at Hotel Anthony in Fort Wayne. Following this many attended the show. Talk about being busy-the next year we surely made up for lost time. We began by issuing a Liberty Bell the first month, making eight issues in all. Previous classes had is- sued seven. About Christmas we decided to publish this annual. It is the third one published and the first printed one in the history of our school. Later in the year another salesman made his appearance. This time with caps and gowns. After some deliberation we decided to wear them. In a few more weeks the last salesman of all came, the one selling invitations and name cards. Oh! yes, we must not forget the Senior class play. This time we chose a three-act comedy entitled 'tReady Made Family. In this play there were no sore throats from screaming but the fun we had was unequalable. During the year we were privileged to visit a session of the Bluffton court for part of our commercial law and government course. This was both very interesting and instructing. At the close of the year the Juniors gave us a very nice Junior-Senior reception. This I am sure will be remembered by us for many years. On April 14 our baccalaureate service was held at the Methodist Church with Rev. Clarence Durham as speaker. The following Thursday evening, April 18, Commencement was held in the school gymnasium with Prof.O. F. Hall of Purdue as speaker. The following Thursday we went on a trip to Chicago, which appropriately closed our high school career. Page Twelve
