THE BANNER 9 Golden Jubilee for L. F. H. S. lt seems litting in this issue of the Banner to celebrate, in an appreciative column, the Fiftieth anniversary of Commencement as an important occasion at L. F. H. S. Fifty years ago this year Arthur Ham graduated from the local high school, he was the first student to re- ceive a diploma and to be graduated with com- mencement exercises. ln the fifty years intervening since that early commencement it may be pointed out that many changes have occurred at L. F. H. S. The high school has outgrown building after building, progressing from the present Primary School to the present Grammar School, and thence to the building situated on the hill in the Shuy neighborhood. Courses of study, subject matter, methods of teaching, and school organi- zation have undergone great changes since 1898 but it seems suitable to point out that, from its earliest day, L. F. H. S. was turning out gradu- ates of high caliber, that our first graduate has been a fine example of brilliant accomplish- ment. Arthur Ham, '98, is a Bowdoin College graduate. He has been connected with the Rus- sell Sage Foundation, New York. He served that philanthropic organization as a director and vice-president for years. His work was partly in research, and his services in the curbing of loan-shark firms in the State of New York were so outstanding that a series of articles was published in N. Y. C. newspapers, attributing the regulation of personal loan concerns to Mr. Ham's efforts in fact-finding and in directing the crusade against the malefactors. Mr. Ham was for years associated with the Provident Loan Association as director. He is retired at present, but is still listed as a director of the Russell Sage Foundation, and serves in an ad- visory capacity to Provident Loan Association. C Q L9 9 a ' . g is ,oo GK,
