An Appreciation To the people of Lorain-our parents, our neighbors, our friends-and to the Board of Edu' cation we wish to express our appreciation of the cofoperation and interest shown in measures and activities working for the best interests of our school during the past year. Our need for more room to 'accommodate a rec' ord enrollment was urgent and you have met it. Through wise management the Board of Educaf tion has been able to build and equip .an addition to our building believing that every dollar expend' ed was well spent in providing more healthful, more pleasant, and more commodious quarters in which to educate us boys and girls that we may become more useful and more happy men and women. We are reminded of this expression of interest in us every time we step into our new audf itorium, or our new gymnasium, or our new cafe' teria. i Then, too, you parents and friends have been generous in your support of our school activities- more so than we have had any right to expect in these difficult and uncertain times. You have come to our games, to our operetta, to our school play, and to other school functions. Loyally, proudly, sympathetically have you displayed our colors, for our hopes have been your hopes, our victories your victories, our defeats your defeats. For all of these expressions of interest, for your sacrifices, for your friendship, for your support, we, the students of Lorain High School, extend to you, the people of Lorain, our sincere gratitude. May we prove ourselves deserving of them. i

I I Enter to Learn In dedicating a new addition to our building this year, we were reminded by our elders of how the little red school house of 1874 which housed one hundred twenty grade and high school pupils, has expanded into the big red brick plant of to' day-a Senior high accommodating two thousand students. The first graduating class in 1879 numbered three. This year the january class numbered one hundred seventyftwo, the June class two hundred fiftyffive, making a total of four hundred twenty' seven for 1932.
