Activities of the Class of '30 Fifteen Years Hence In the year 1945, there assembled, in one of the foremost moving picture thc- atres of the country, an eager audience. A pleasant hum of conversation fills in the short wait before the curtain rises. Soon a quick glimmer of lettering upon the screen announces the beginning of the evening's program. Immediately, the sound of con- versation dies away, and the audience leans forward in anticipation. REEL I-ill. G. M. NEWS M. G.

and significant senior remarks. At last, at an eventful meeting of the junior class, it was discovered that those who try to move in royal circles must be glad to pay the price. There must be a reception, with the seniors as honored guests. Junior preparations for this affair amounted to a real flurry. Plan after plan was scanned and rejected. Finally, color schemes, amusements, refresh- ments, and favors were settled upon. On the night of May the third, a holiday gathering of juniors and seniors met at the Woman's Club for an evening of pleasure. The contests ranged from the dignified type, calling for thinking, to the ridiculous spectacle of faculty and pupils engaged in frantic Kiddy Kar racing and balloon tennis. The air of gayety was so contagious that everyone joined in the fun-making and laughter. Now in the fourth year in the history of the class, there has been much hard labor and very little resting by the Way. Great schemings are in progress for coming departure from the land. Two main crises of the fourth lap of the journey have been met safely, and both are worthy of record. First and foremost, the seniors agreed whole-heartedly upon a class ring. Not a dissenting voice has since risen to criticise or regret the choice. Very few classes pass through this ordeal without two or three staunch opposers left bleeding on the battlefield. The class is proudest of all of the Autumn Carnival, which was patronized so enthusiastically by the whole school that its success was certain from the beginning. The big feature of the evening was the crowning of the Fall Queen, as she took her place on a throne, bright with autumn leaves. The days of this last year are passing swiftly by. Soon there will be need for final rehearsals of class night songs and perfecting of com- mencement plans. There is a mingled feeling of anticipation and regret in senior hearts, as they think of trying their wings in a broad, open world and leaving behind them forever the sheltered friendliness of their high school years. Their four years within the walls of L. H. S. have been well spent. May their happiness here strike a keynote for the coming years of their activity, Wherever they may go.
