All told there were twenty-six in number. These jolly young people were beginning their school careers under difficulties for as a result of the fire which destroyed the school building, classes were held in the church basements with the hall serving as an assembly room. After enduring two months of these hardships, the new school house was completed and everyone was very happy to be attending one of the best small high schools in the state. The upper classmen tried every kind of initiation imaginable upon these freshmen, but without avail. In the school class tournaments these same freshmen dis- played their unusual athletic abilities. Along with many other things they con- tributed their part in the declamatory work. After enjoying many happy experiences with a few sorrows mixed in, every fresh- man was willing to admit the year was one great victory and that school was not so bad after all. After registration in our sophomore year we found our class had diminished some in size, out of the original twenty-six only twenty remained. Turning our faces and minds to the much discussed and imaginary dislike held for new text books, we found that there was a real foundation behind this dislike. Most of us agreeing that geometry was t-o-u-g-h because it almost knocked some of us out of school. With bull dog tenacity and Lincoln's determina- tion for knowledge we forged ahead, finally emerging with passing report cards in our hands. Our junior year proved to be the best of all with our class contributing largely to the success of operetta, basketball, band and declamatory. Wild Ginger, the junior class play was well received and at- tended. The climaxing feature of this year was the Senior and Junior banquet held at Hotel Turner, Fairfield. Even if our class did number only fourteen, one over half of the beginning total, everything at- tempted during this year turned out for the best. As we began our last year of attendance in the Lockridge Public School, even some of we especially dignified seniors wished there were a few more years here. If the last year, senior year, is not the best, it surely is the busiest. Physics provided a few headaches and ear failures, while Literature seemed rather dry, book- keeping took too much time and Govern- ment was just fine. All in all though we seniors have spent four really and trully happy years in Lockridge High School. In conclusion we wish to apologize to any we may have treated unfairly and to thank faculty, students, parents, friends and all those who have helped us make our short journey through this school a pleasure.

They reached the semi-final round before dropping a one point decision to Troy. Lockridge drew Ollie for the first round game and defeated them in a game which was much closer than the score, 38-25 in- dicated. By winning the game from Ollie, Lock- ridge had to play Douds, who on the pre- vious day had defeated Pleasant Plain. This was a very close game with neither team having a lead of more than five points at any time. Lockridge led by two points at the half, 12-10, but Douds came back in the third quarter and led by five points at the end of that period. The Lockridge team fought for all they were worth in the last quarter and with one minute to play went ahead one point. They succeeded in stalling the last minute and won 24-23. Having won from Douds, Lockridge moved into the semi-finals on Saturday af- ternoon, along with Troy who also won their second round game. Both teams showed the strains of the hard fought games the day before and did not have their former drive. At the end of the half Lockridge led 11-10. The second half see- sawed back and forth with Lockridge miss- ing many shots that appeared to be easy baskets, especially in the last minute of play. Lockridge held a three point lead with about two minutes to play, but could not hold the ball, Troy getting two baskets, the last one twenty seconds before the final gun, and Winning 28-2-7. - l jefferson County This year's basketball team was the first to win a trophy for Lockridge. They did this by winning the Jefferson County Bas- ketball Tournament, held at Fairfield, March 19, 20, 21. Lockridge drew the Fairfield Freshmen for the first game and had an easy time, Winning 40-26, with the second team play- ing about half the time. By virtue of winning the first round game, the Lockridge team tackled Pack- wood on Friday night. In the first half Lockridge had things much their own way having a fairly comfortable lead of 16-8 at the end of the half. At the start of the second half Paskwood threw a big scare into the Lockridge fans by pulling up with- in three points of the L. H. S. team. From then on the battle raged back and forth with Lockridge coming out on top 26-19. The win over Packwood on Friday night put the Lockridge boys in the finals Sat- Tourney Champions urday night against Pleasant Plain. Pleas- ant Plain having defeated Lockridge twice during the regular schedule naturally were the favorites. They started off with a bang and scored ten points before Lock- ridge tallied at all. At this time the Lock- ridge team began clicking and at the half Pleasant Plain led by only three points, 15-12. Two baskets in the first two minutes of the second half put Lockridge ahead 16-15. Then the Lockridge team began its famous stall. The two guards, L. Linn and Graf, with the aid of E. Linn, a for- ward, passed the ball back and forth,- holding conversation in between times-for six minutes. At the start of the fourth quarter Pleasant Plain got a basket, put- ting them one point ahead, and from then on.it was a hot and heavy battle, with the lead changing several times. But Lock- ridge finally emerged, the victor, 23-21, to bring Lockridge its first basketball trophy. 11 bl .-susnsus.-x.-x.-x.-snsus.-sHxns.-x.-x.-s.-5.-s.-8.-sagus.-sus.-s.-X.fs.fs.-sus.-xns rs
