MAY 1911 No. 1 We the editors of the annual of the Liberty Union High School have great pleasure in bresenting to the public the results of our labor, hoping that our efforts will meet with popular approval. We wish to thank all those who have so nobly contributed to the success of the Annual. W-3 desire also to extend our thanks to the patrons and friends of the Liberty llnion High School who have by their generous support and encouragement done so much for our school. XVe must not forget the Board of Trustees. The success of the High School depends largely upon them, we feel that we are especially favore-l in possessing Trustees who give their valuable time ungrudgingly and without any remuneration to the affairs of the school. NVe feel grateful to them for the interest they take in our welfare. They have done every- thing possible to make the school a success. They have provided us with a splendid court suitable for tennis and basketball. Vk'hen our treasury was almost depleted they assisted us financially. We understand that during: the coming year we are to receive idstructions in dressmaking. Already Ll course in drawing has been introduced. The girls will be taught to make tasteful designs and then to execute them on cloth. For all these advantages we are grateful to the trustees. Dr. Thomas paid our school a visit this year and after careful ex- aminatior expressed himself as much pleased wit: the rapid progress xn- had made. Liberty remains on the accredited list. In conclusion we would urge on the student body the necessity of cooperation with trustees and faculty if our school is to be a decided success. Liberty, needs more school spirit-the spirit that leads a student to sacrifice something for the school. Debating, baseball, tennis and track offer plenty of opportunities to each and every student. In all of these Liberty can excel if the proper school spirit is shown. Let us one and all resolve to do our best for the school. We shall reap the reward. Athletics develops our bodies and debating makes us ready, fluent speak- ers, able to hold our own in the world. We desire to express our appreciation of those business men who have assisted us by advertising in the Annual. When in need of any- thing give them your patronage.

The princess had not really saved my life for love of llle. lint she had brought me to her lover as si very choice morsel. Oh ye gods! ye gods! I had to tndure :ill this. My mind became confused, and green savages danced before my eyes ln at blur. A cannibal's finger snapped and fell to the ground with n crush like thunder. and as sure as my name is Lee Brendt, l thought l was dead. But soon there sounded an awful ringing of hells, anl l heard the well known voice of my father saying, C'ome. get np, Lee! Time for school! Come. Come! Get that cow lnilke-dl And then I awoke, only to find that the cannibal's finger which l had picked up was n fountain pen in the hand of a dreamer, --ANON. iii -..K-f'
