FOREWORD THIRTEEN: Just ahead of broken mirrors and right after black cots, the number thirteen has for centuries been a symbol of bad luck. Typically, hotels avoid having a thir- teenth floor, and real devotees of superstition will not join twelve others of a dinner table. We at Limestone are ready to contend it's just the other way around, a symbol of muih good luck, for this—our thirteenth year—hos brought more good things than even a genuine left-hind robbit's foot could provide. We started the year with the best football facilities we hove ever had, bigger and better bleachers and a much improved lighting system. The sophomore football team charged through the season undefeated and captured the Mid-State Eight championship. The varsity record, too, was the best in o long time. The most significant event of all was the bond issue vote in November which brought promise of expanded educa- tional facilities in our soon-to-be future. We con now look forward to uncrowded classrooms, a wider variety in subject offerings, ond much new and up-fo-dofe equipment. The dramatists ond debaters brought their share of plaudits to our school. The debaters garnered trophies from Chicago to Carbondale, from Davenport to Bloomington, and compiled a record unheard of in the onnals of Limestone.

those doily sessions. One of our feochers drew honor to himself ond to Lime- stone when he was recognized statewide as Industrial Arts Teocher of the Year for the state of Illinois. This is but the beginning of the list. Your own memories will recall many other individual rewards and collective accom- plishments of this year. We realize that these achievements ond successes cannot be ascribed entirely to luck. That fair lady may exert her influence to some extent, but behind every accomplishment there is a large measure of hard work, initiative, dedication, ond talent. Our real luck is that we hove been blessed with students, teachers, ond administrators who hove been highly endowed with these qualities. Truly, this hos been a lucky year.
