Orators, debaters, musicians, athletes, writers, and actors-what else does it take to make a class renowned? XVhen the members of this remarkable class have all achieved the fame and honor that are bound to come to them, the fond recollections of these four years will still linger in the hearts and minds of each as the cherished memories of a happy journey.

Several new instructors now greeted us: namely, Mr. lnahinet and Miss .Xnthony. Mr. lnabinet almost turned white trying to convince us that 4 Jnly one perpendicular can be drawn to a given line from a given ex- ternal point , while Kliss .Xnthony painstakenly was trying to get us to write letters correctly all the way from Dear Sirn to Yours truly. The intellectual education of the class developed in its usual progressive man- ner but along' with it came athletics. il lere, as in all things, our history is fiattering. Neivresentatives from our class were stars, both on the football field and on the basketball court. ln victory and defeat '23 supported these lighting heroes. The fine spirit we manifested at all times has helped make L. ll. S. famous for clean sports, XX'e surely have done our bit in furnishing debaters-and good ones too. t Jur si-ter class, the sophomores, have stood by us in every trial and tribulation. XfVe shall never forget the delightful sunrise picnic they gave us one April morning. .Xn occasional party was held during the year tand take it all inl their time was completely occupied. .Xt last came the long anticipated year with all its profoundness and superiority. There was nothing else to do but take life as it came sofelecting officers, buying rings, selecting invitations, having pictures made, and preparing for the 1923 flint' linrl' became our pleasurable pastime. Athletic games were continued in their season and in addition many of the class delved into drainatics. This year Mr. Krauss had the distinctive pleasure of beating various and sundry geometrical figures into our heads. Knowing that our education would not be complete without music, we gave our talents a chance in that direction, for as Martin Luther said: Next to divinity no art is compared to music. For all the joys we have obtained from the Glee Club, we hope it has received a blessing in return. This class is also noted for its individuality. XYe are the first class to have on enrollment more boys than girls, the first to take geometry in the tenth grade, the first to forbid its members to wear a class ring until they have passed all subjects, the first to give an alumni banquet, and we hope we have the distinction of being the last to he graduated in this memorable edifice. 24 PQ.-Vi Qies
