President's Message LUX QCommencing a term brimming with social and scholastic events, we, the Lux student body officers. experienced the thrill of looking forward to a well- planned, fast-moving year. During the first semester we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the founding of our school. At this time the entire student body sincerely expressed their thanks to Mrs. Lux for her pioneering in the field of education. At the special rally held for this purpose we dedicated the new cooking laboratory, the attrac- tive lounge, and the beautiful murals. Each of these new additions has been appreciated and enjoyed to the utmost during the last year. We wish to compliment the student body on the growth of their enthusiasm and school spirit. Because of this spirit the many activities of the year have been unusually successful. Special praise is due the dance committee who sponsored four fine night dances. By complete cooperation in bringing new talent to life, our Class Day rally proved to be a big success. We have initiated three new activities that we hope will become customs. The 58X class started the tra- dition of having each graduating class plant a tree or shrub in the Little Grove. Each of these plants will be permanent additions left to remind those that follow of our spirit and loyalty to the school. The T39j Class initiated the farewell tea given by the undergraduates to the graduating class. -lust a few weeks ago the school started serving tea at 5:50 to all time girls who wish it. Many fine friends and a welcome lift are found through this afternoon tea. The Mother's Day tea was the main attraction of the last few weeks of the semester. We girls make this our biggest social event. for at this time we grate- fully acknowledge our debt to our mothers and teachers. XY'e sincerely thank Mr. Merrill. our sympathetic and fine board of trustees. and our teachers for their constant work that has helped us enjoy a memorably full and happy year.

The students have cooperated will- ingly in planning and carrying through a number of successful night dances. joint rallies have been great fun, and sport rallies, though few in number, have achieved their purpose of arousing both quality and quantity of spirit. The oflicers have attempted to organize and pro- mote an interesting program during the past semesters: and if our students have enjoyed the rallies, dances, and other social events, then our efforts have not been in vain. Particularly gratifying to those in charge has been the enthusiasm shown by those who participated in the noon hour and after school games in Merrill Hall, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Merrill, Mr. Booker and Mrs. Patterson for their help and ad- vice, to the faculty for their cooperation, and to the students for their willing service and generous sup- port. During my term of office I have watched our new auditorium grow into reality. Its completion will end all rallies in Merrill Hall, for henceforth Patrick Noble Auditorium will be the meeting place of all student body functions. In the foyer of this building will stand the Alumni tribute to our great leader, George A. Merrill, direc- tor of our schools since they have been founded. This tribute in the form of a bronze bust will commemor- ate his fifty years as an educator, Wfe officers of 1939 have had a very great honor, for we are the last group to be in othce while he was at the helm. It is a sad occasion to bid him farewell, but we know that every student who has passed through the Lick and XY ilmerding schools will al- ways remember Mr, Merrill not only as the man re- sponsible for his education, but as a wise and under- standing friend. Richard Dodge.
