So+Ufi tycvi Ame Uca (lif Vicinia Ma'iihall Again comes the time to say adieu to many students of dear old LRHS. It is indeed a happy time for all, but way down deep inside there is regret. Our school days will live in our hearts for years and years as the good old days-. Firmly etched in our memory is the A Cappella Choir, a musical organization of national reputation. Their Black and Old Cold robes have become a fam- iliar symbol to highschool stud- ents. It is a student organization di- rected by Mrs. Ruth Klepper Settle who organized the choir in 1938. She has carried this group through many successful perfor- mances. y In 1941 when the United Stateavp entered the present world con- flict and thousands of young took up arms to defend it, Cappel a Choir also took up its duties, but on the home fron That job was to establish music for morale, which they have suc- essfully helped to do. Today mu- sic is playing a large part in keep- ing up the spirits of our fighting men. Because of shortages in transportation the choir has not been able to travel this year but u it has faithfully carried on by giving for.y-four performances for military and civilian groups in this school year. Forty-two members of the choir will give their lust performance with this organization on grad- uation night. First Sopranos to say goodby to fond memories are: Gladys Blount, Virginia Marshall.

rWUa 1he ScefUel President Jim Willson A solemn stillness descends up- on the stadium as five hundred fifty-two May graduates are ush- ered onto the field by the band playing the recessional. In trad- itional white gowns the sweet girls graduates proudly bear bou- quets of roses and the boys stride majestically in black and white. They take their places in the seats reserved for them and wait with restless calm Tor the pre- sentation of diplomas. From tliis mass of potential college men and women, three stand out In their achievements in guiding the fortunes of the class. These are the officers: Jim Willson.president. Ransom Jack- son, Jr., v i cfi-p resident: and Adrienne Storey, secretary. Now the spotlight turns on these three seniors: it is to tlvim and their many accomplishments that the following is dedicated. Tall. dark, and handsome JIM WILLSON entered LRUS from New Rochelle, It. I. in the fall of '4 1. Jim a prominent student was immediately accepted by tlie en- tire student body and from t lie beginning penetrated the realm of act i vites offered by our Alma Mater. In '4 1 his talents were demonstrated in clads football and homeroom secretarial duties. During the spring and fall semes- ters he was boosted into the yell leading team: elected secretary Secretary Adrienne Story of his homeroom that spring; and homeroom president in the fall: an i on the sly cut fancy corners in class basketball. Today, in the spring of '4 3 Jim again appears on the register as homeroom president. This spring Jim enthusiastically led the seniors along their last mile. Scholar R A N S O M JOSKPH JACKSON Jr., senior genius, stepped forward to claim some limelight this spring as vice pre- sident of the senior class. Ransom Fifteen Year Old Ralph Hughes Is Baby Grad; No Fear Of Draft Soon When 600 grads march across the stadium field commencement night, a small blond boy will pran- ce beside them. Ralph Hugltes. the brainy class baby, is fifteen years old. He will graduate in May two years ahead of schedule with an accumulation of thirty- eight credits. With a birthday on November 29. 1927. the possibil- ity of draft is far from his door. Ralph has been ]touring his sup- crnomal abilities on LRUS since last December when he was trans- ferted from McAllen. Texas. At the age of four under his mother’s guidance he had mastered the first grade. He entered the second year of grammar school when he was five. Vice-President Ransom Jackson illuminated the headline of many activities while in highschool and along tlie line picked up this title, master mind Jackson. leaving Pulaski Heights in the spring of 4 0 he joined the ping pong club and soft ball club. The following spring Ransom, who confidentually is tops on the greens, was a representative in the LRHS State Golf Tournament. In the mean time he registered for the (Mass League Football Champ- ions. Through his freshie and senior years lu has been awarded many honors. First as manager of the football squad in '42, mem- ber of the National Honor Society in '43, president of the Honor Study Hall Monitors: and vice president of the Senior Class. Pretty copper headed ARD11CN- NK STORKV was elevated to the honor position as secretary of .tlvj May graduates. Adrienne in '40 was secretary of her homeroom and beginning in the spring of '41 held the office of vice president of her homeroom throughout her colorful highschool career. Charm- ing Adrienne fills the bill in every respect with her captivating pop- ularity and winning mannerisms. Iter job as secretary hasn't been a seal of plush but a difficult as- signment which in every respects has been pronounced well done. To Adrienne Storey we graduates send our acknowledging thanks.
