history nf thz Glass nf '26 Let us go back to the fall of 1922. We find a crew of sixty-six waiting to be admitted on the Ship of Knowl- edge, L. T. H. S. This ship is to take them into the sea of unknown studies, and they board it bravely. They find .Miss Jump ready to assist and aid them, and with Glenn Sayers as captain they feel that they have a strong found- dation. Upon seeing the deep waves of Algebra, Latin, and Spanish approaching, they stand erect and determine to master them. The waves are too high for some of them to sail over and, consequently, they must try swimming. Their first hard storm can be heard approaching and Semester Exams are due. As every dark cloud has a silver lining, they make the best of it and sail on smoothly. In June their native land is visible and they bid one another good-bye, hoping to meet again the following September. They come back and are ready to receive the title, Soph- omores. They are greeted with the pleasing smile of Mr. Aldrich and with Captain Corcoran they begin business when the bell rings. They stop for recreation occasionally and again they go out for summer quarters. The Class of '26 comes back jolly and happy. They are looking forward to an exciting year and their hopes are assured as Mr. Hawk is hailed as their efficient leader. Page twenty-seven ggi' g. N ul lull: 1 L- . l.'l pl.

NVith Charles Landis to express his opinions they plan great things. They show their talent by giving a Junior Vodvil. They also show the Class of '25 what they can do in the way of entertainment at the annual Junior Prom. As the Ship of Knowledge again calls for volunteers, they are ready for their last voyage in L. T. H. S. Forty- three earnest and faithful students are given the much cov- eted name, Seniors. In order to have a more active and better organized crew, they have two advisors, Miss Smith and Mr. Crawford. As boys are more capable of handling a ship, Chan Parker is chosen captain. The weeks hasten on with invisible speed and before they realize how short a time it is before school days are over, Mr. Underbrink says, Only ten more weeks of school . The senior play, Adam and Eva , is given and the Class of '27 gives them a big feast. Now they are prepared to leave this ship and they are thinking of going into other seas. This four year voyage has been merely a stepping stone toward their ideals and ambitions. They have enjoyed their work and play at L. T. H. S. and as a class ranking in ability, leadership and scholar- ship they are unexcelled. As each one of them goes out into the world, he will have battles to fight and friends to wing but whatever he does, whatever problems he has to solve, may this motto still inspire and help him, HE CONQUERS WHO CONQUERS HIMSELFY' I P.
