Perow TRUS r , F A I H , AN ' ' LO ' t u Y We placed his little feet on a stone wall, stepped back j I a fe v steps, held out our a. rus and bade him jump. Without the faintest shadow of doubt or fear in his merry eyes he jumped, and was caught in loving arms. The warm and fervent response of the tiny body to our wishes thrilled us. His faith in us turned our memories back to our childhood, and to incidents that vi ere a part of that life. The old faith J It was firmly entrenched beneath the tangled curls, pulsating within the little breast, glowing out of the clear eyes. How it challenged the middle aged m.embers of the family cowering in the chimney corner. ' Hovj it laughed, and made light of the grown-up doubts and fears. As wo looked upon the childish face, the present dropped away, aad the past came back in m.emories of the things in which we used to pla.ce our trust: fairies and elves; kings and queens; princes and princesses; the dear legend of Saint Nicholas; the firm unwavering belief in the Easter rabbit. It is faith that rears the air-castles, high on the windy hills of youth with their silver spires pointirg tov ard the changeable skies. It launched many mighty fleets on the rivers and seas of hope to call -ith the aid of brs,cln. - viinuc , from the coral islands. ! On quiet spring days we wandered through the meadows to 1 pick butter-cups, and pull the petals off to see if someone j loved us. Or we would blow the icur o ' c ' -oj .s to see wh-st ti:ne | i of the day it was. The ominous cicalc of the crow was al.r.ost a sure sign of rain. Faith was a beloved ccnpanion in the evening when the fireflies .began to drift above the dewy grasses; when the western glow faded out of the sky; when dim shapes took form down by the pasture lot; when we stole quietly out on the porch and climbed upon the lap of some one, leaning hard against her and listening as she told us the story of Cindrellaj 1 or the Ugly Duckling or would sing nursery rhyne songs u-.-itil j we grew drowsy. We then went up sbairs. said our little prayers at her knee, and climbed into bed. She tucked us in for the night and stole quietly away after the good-night kies It was faith that ko:;t U3 ssfe from the dark and towering shadows a.fter the l ight vers out and mc-cher had left. We had j faith that we wero- safe and that the sun in a.ll its glittering I glory for the new day would sc;on be bt.ck.- I On the morrow it vvas faith that le.id end guidrd cur un- certain steps to the little wayside cchool houre. The school I teacher gave us knowledge of the heroes and adventurers that I i set our luinds s.fire. She tausht us hew a nation righteously ! I e:ialts itrielf. She interpretea the C.ee ' o meaning of the stcrs t I and stripes of our flag and inr tilled in cur hearts a deeper I ! feeling of r)atriotihm., ojid a more unselfish love for home and i ! courtrv. The old faith; We may hav3 it aj ain Tor the aGkiug. Coo i knov s v. ' e need it J The wor .d, sick and faint and weary, rockiii, ! upon its foundations, may la hold of faith, as strong as . i childhood faith, once more, I i ¥e have had faith in our classmates and teachers; we have j been faithful to Liberty for the pasb four years, and no vv v e j have gained the goal of our desire--a result of faith and I ! ener3y--graduation and diplomas, Vvith such faith in each | other and in all humanity let us trust to the future and the ! I opportunities that have been opened to us. Trust, loyalty, and faith will help us to find our desires of life--HAPPINESS, S.Wo ' 26 IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE SENIORS The world will little note nor long remember what they i said here, but it will never forget v hat they did here. Let I this be in quotations because it is partly Lincolnized to fit ' the sad occasion of the final farewell of the Senior Class. By | this, you are to understand, of course, that those worthy mem- { I 1 bers are not going to their final resting place, (vvhere all is i ( peace and quiet, in spite of the Fords v hich continuallv thror-i i into the heavenly portals, carrying cargoee of departing spirits) but out into the great wide world. According to rule j and custom, you, dear departers, have passed one milestone of I . XI. e s wey, ana are to enter new fields where vice and tem.p- J tation stand ready to grab you. Heaven forbid that you become j I sinners; yet such could hardly be the case after issuing forth i - t I from the saintly walls of L. U. H, S. I I Praise is a necessary factor in maintainirg the courage oil ! even those endowed with intreped spirits. Theie are many land- atory elements in your mf .l:o-up beloved Seniors, tl e.t pre WvjJi| worth intrusting to ' pen s.nd ink; consecuontly s. fev; lines v ill | not be amiss. Throughout tho ye. .ry you have shown yourselvc: , to be blessed with the essentials requisite to the attachment  of placards, hearing the v ords uocd-hcnrted. School spirited. , a.nd Progressive , upon your coat sleeves, Oi:r critical Judges: ; (shall v;e say gossips) who spare the reputation of no man send! in the report, Passing Fair ' ' , uliich is almost too much to ex- ' , pect from this body. If this is not adcquite proof for the I 1 curious minds of the mob, possibly the proposition ma y be solved to the satisfaction of all unbelieving misbelievers. j Hov; have the Seniors gained the title, good hearted ? j Sim.ply understa.nd and practise the following quotation, con- j cocted from the Book of Sayings, never said, and you mpy enter j i I i the Ilingdom of Wise Fools! Treat all men, as well as diLmb j creaxures, as you would have them treat yoUr Not to worry j ; I tired brains, I shall patiently explain how this applies to j the Seniors attitude toward students Y:ho are not blessed with their bre.in power. Ilever mind such words fis condescension, sa.rcasm, knoiv it all , and others of the like auj.lities been j i associabed with their redoubtable characters, ' e forgive tnen ' .; if in the stress of finals, their visages wear Ganquine, flurried expressions, which will not permit them to speak sweetly to their inferiors. Poor Seniors, you have heard the term, school spirit , I i from the time you burst the bone ' s of childhood and entered the : realmis of the A E C ' s. Again you are to hear it, but this tiri ' ' -. t to your own advantage. Be thankful for this, if nothing ' else- i i never wi I], you feel the prickings of conscience when some i ;70uld- ' oe- reformers entreat you to show a little cia s t- .j Jit-- , for you have it. | You hg ve left your own tombstone behind you (or to be le?;. -; - , i deathly, your memorial statue; and on it is the engraven ; epitaph — Merit System. Does it not caupp you. to be fi ' ' lr;d 1 j v;ith conscious pride, and self-satisfactioxi vhen you think of yourselves as the originators of this system ' i Fe only hope ! that you will not have v:a-sted your precious moments in stiug- | i gling so nobly for an end v;hich jould not benefit you; yet -vve j I consider ourselves capable of furthering the success of such vi enterprise. Now in closing, the Assistant Editor wished to state thc t this is not micant as a sarcastic treatise, but as a v ork- of praise told in an elusive manner. The reason is as follows: owing to certain tim.id and bashful qualities of those dopa.rting, carefulness a,s to praise must be used in order to help dispel I their extreme embp.rrassement a,nd self-consciousness. f ' -A • ■•:.- .0| V ' 1 ' j r c: ::: y x rj - -- i y y ' ' ■ !

There, concealed by brush, he paused and gave a low whistle, A large collie came dashing up to him, with ex- cited little barks. At the sight of the dog a gleam of admir- ation appeared in his eyes. Jack patted the dog on the head and greeted him, llello ! Sporty, good old pal. You know that whistle don ' t you? ' -inhere is Missy? You lead, old fellow, and 1 11 follow. Lead me to Vera, old man, Sport turned around, and started back across the woods t© the place v hence he had lately come, then back to Jack with im- patient barks. Finally Jack ran at full speed to keep up v ith the dogo In the shade of a huge aspen tree they found Vera hunting for wild berries. She looked up in time to see them approaching, Hello, Jack, she called. Did I speak well last night? You bet you did, I told you so last night, he replied, Yes, but you were so silly last night, I could not rely upon what you said.

She still did not answer. Jack looked at her, V hat is bothering you. Vera? I noticed that you hesitated about getting in to ride. Are you getting too good for me? His body stiffened v ith resentment, No, Jack, I ' m not too good for you, but I don ' t want that school. Mother aid father want me to go to Glendale to teach. Uncle John has a school located there for me, Why don ' t you go, then? I ¥;on ' t hold you. Our engage- I ment is broken now.

HIoTORY OF THE CLASS OF ' 26 One day in August, 1922, Mr. Nash was confronted with two dozen ov more, what seemed to toe, green spots. As his vision became more clear, he realized that he had before him a nev band of Freshmen to train. We were frightened at first and didn ' t know which v ay to turn. We were herded into our Major Room, whore Mr. Nash told us all of the rules and regulations of the high school. Our first day w as a torture, for from all sides and angles came the cry, Oh, some more FreshmtenJ Look how green they are J Don ' t know v here to go, ' and so on. We barely got conifortably seated in one classroom when we had to head for another one. Oh, weren ' t we glad to get that day over. ' It was not very long before we held our fii ' st real meet- ing, and we elected our officers. After much com.petition, we elected Lowell Griffith as president. We were the proudest class in school after that election. Didn ' t we have a pres- T dent and v eren ' t we conriderod part of the student body? Everything v ont on beautifully until v e heard vague rumors of ' initiation ' . Not many days aftcrv, ' ard the boys w ere in for a good ducking at the old horse trough at the gram.mar school, and we were painted up, urtil we looked like wild Indians. We were afraid to go to class for one of the teachers v as sure to give us a scolding, Fira?ly most of us got the bright-hued mj ' .keup off and ran to class, late. And so we progressed on our quest for knov ledge until our Freshman reception came along. We had to go through a lot of performing- -from, saying our prayers to boxing, almost every- I say, buckled down to v;oi-.!. : icr- -..Lio rest of the yenpo j In August, 1925 aftej? our ' . acaticn, e camo back, and v e ! surely felt j.mportant, for v e v;ere now cor. cidened Honorable members of L.U.H.S. and we could watch the freshmen coming in just as green, if not greener, than we were. Without a moment ' s hesitation we called a class meeting and elected our class officers. This year they were: Pres- ident,, Laura Ham.mond; Vice President, Melba Acrey; Secretary- Treasurer, Susan Wilder; Representatives to the Student Affairs Jennie Cooper, and Lowell Griffith. W,e began the year right by giving numerous sales and when our Great Red Letter day came along we were m.ore than prepared for it. Chimes and Japanese lanterns v ere only a part of the beautiful decorations we had at our Sophomore Hop. Lattice- work, greenery, flo ' ers, and everything to make the auditorium beautiful were used. After our Sophomore Hop we only looked forv ard to our next year in high. We did not wait long for the summer soon passed and we came back to be called Juniors . Our officers for this year were: President, Lov fell Griffith; Vice President George Brown; Secretary-Treasurer, Juliet Firpo; Sgt. at Arms, Melba Acrey; Representatives to the Student Affairs, Rachel Veale, and Forrest Sullivan, We began planning for our biggest event of the school season, our Junior Prom., Our purse was rather flat when we first started out, for as inexperienced Sophomores we had not learned to save a little for a rainy day. We had to replenish it by first giving one sale after another. This would seem r-athGP tedious, but it did not take many teirpting exibitions of our ability as cooks, iDefore vve were known by everyone in the vdiole student body. About a week before our Prom three fourths of our class were down with the mumps . V fe surely vverc in for a nice time, but v e weren ' t daunted and the few of us v;ho were left con- tinued with the plans and, although we didn ' t have as large a crov d as we had hoped to have, our Prom was a succeas. We could not stop with one thing, but hurried on and ar- ranged to give a Minstrel shov . Wo worked hard and everyone of us did our best to make up for the misfortune we had at our Prom. V e left our Junior dignity at home that night and black- ed our faces until only by close inspection could we be recog- nized as honorable students of Liberty Union High School, instead of wandering minstrels. At the end of our Junior year we elected our Senior officers. Again we had a lot of competition, and finally the officers elected were: President, Susan Wilder; Vice President Vivian Chastek; Secretary-Treasurer, Melba Acroy; Represent- atives to the Student Affairs, Rrances Diffin, and Theodore Chmstede. And now, last but not the least, came our Senior year. We were noY dignified Seniors. ' The little Freshmen and even the big P eshmen looked up to us, but v re didn ' t seem, to m.ind, nor did it turn our heads. Vife started planning for our Senior play, and in order to be able to have enough time to spend picking one out, for v;e were a busy class, we took a v hole day off. ' ilhct fun we had that morning, com.ing to school without any books, and v hat looks of envy other students bestowed upon usc- ' Ve spen.. the j t day at Brushy Peak and v hile yjo v ore thoi ' O Miss Anderson our j 1 advisor, read us the play we had decided to take. The name was; Miss Somebody Else . j After this outing, we all settled dov n for our school work! and to practice for the play. We chcse Miss Perov; as our coach for the play, because it was inpossiblo for Miss Anderson to take it herself. After the practicing started there was very I little time left for our studies. Besides practicing for our Senior play every spare moment that we had, we had to decorate for our Senior Ball, v hich came the Saturday before the play. Greenery, cat- tails, and crepe paper made the auditorium look a typical ball room. Invita- tions were sent out and pretty programs erc used- -in short, cV ' rything, that would make our last entertainment a pleasant j evening, j During our Senior v eek we had Kid ' s day and some of the i ! girls forgot they were dignified Seniors and went back to their j care f r e c gi ani nar - s chc o 1 d ' y s . On Sunda y , Juno 6 , the Dacca- laureatc Sermon was given in the auditorium. And so cur Senior week ended and with it the end of our high school career. Wc are going to take our places as citizens of the world. We hope that ;e may prove ourselves worthy, and that the cncom.ing Senior Classes will continue whore we have 1 . f t off in building on to the School History as we have, __ Fr — x , — Hi i!

Er.blazoned in bold ! letters I beheld the sign: Extra: Sights of the City. Comfortably ensconced in a reserved seat, I enjoyed the regular picture, then watched interestedly as the extra began. It was merely a series of disjointed scenes shordng everyday Washington scenery, including some of its most noted people.

A busy figure bent over | a huge desk which was littered with papers. A sign over the j office door announced: Editor of Advice to the Lovelorn. The Editor himself was scribbling furiously, presumably giving advice to some heartbroken lover, A moment later Lowell Griffith raised his head and looked calmly out from his engrossing work. Sort of a case of Weep on Lowell ' s shoulder. Then a wild beautiful scene flashed before my eyes. I saw a gypsy camp, surrounded by a dark, mysterious forest.

On behalf of the Seniors we wish to thank the Junior class for these prophetic statements, and to say that we feel sure that the Senior Class will accept this -prophecy - ' ith the proverbial grain of salt. §j ir i i I hope the stuaents of L.U.H.S. have enjoyed reading the exchanges as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
