L LIFE June, 1927 The LWL Alumni Association GEORGE F. CARNEY, President NVelcome to the Lick-Vlfilmerding-Lux Alumni, mem- bers of the graduating class of l927J! The association is both proud and glad to receive you as mem-bers, andlwe sincerely hope that you will support the activities of the Alumni as well as you have supported your school and class activities during the last four years. VV hen the long awaited graduation day arrives, it brings with it as much sorrow as it does joy. The school friends and associates that have been meeting almost daily for four years are suddenly separated and scattered along the many paths of life. There is only one connecting link between their school life and later life, and that is the Alumni Association, whose board of directors is always striving to plan events that will carry on the old school spirit and bring together the graduates of the various years. The association has been very active in social life since the first of the year. In February, a Valentine dance was held at the Sorosis Club. The hall was artistically decorated in keeping with the day, and all who attended the dance enjoyed it very much. On March 17, at the same hall, a one-act play, Flowers for Flossie , was presented by members of the Alumniq lt was very well received. A dance followed the play. During the evening St. Patrick's hats and balloons were distributed among the dancers. Some of the hats were extremely becoming, I can assure you. Un May l we fared forth into the green fields. We held an auto picnic at Searsville Lake, one of the prettiest auto parks on the Peninsula. While the older members enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the youngsters UD enjoyed a baseball game. l wonder how many sore muscles and stiff joints there were next day? On May 20, at the California Club Hall, we held our annual business meeting and initiation. On this eventful evening the members of the 19271 class became full-fledged members of the LWL Alumni Association. The activities of the Alumni have been not only along social lines. Qnce a month a member of the association addresses the seniors of Lick and Wilmerding on some su-bject that is particularly interesting to these students. For the first time in the history of the LVVL Alumni Association, the board of directors has decided to confer on a member of the graduating class a scholar- ship award. lt is to be ini the form of a ring, bearing the Alumni emblem. This award will be presented each year by the Alumni to the student having the highest academic record at the time of graduation. After having served as president of the Alumni Association for two years, l now go out of office. To my successor I offer my best wishes for a successful term. If he receives as much assistance from the board of directors and from the members of the association as l did, I know his tasks will be lightened and will be a source of delight to him. fPage 61
