OAI glflessage from Mr. Bunn . . . As I look over the pictures of the 1937 Scimitar I am impressed with the many and varied activities of our high school. If all these pictures could be fitted together into one great composite scene we should have before us an inspiring portrayal of our school life. In my mind's eye, I have a picture of L.H.S. as it was 21 years ago this spring when the building was dedicated. What changes have taken place during those years! Our enrollment has increased from approximately 700 to more than 2000g the number of graduates has increased from about IOO per year to more than SOO this yearg and the subjects and courses have shown a similar growth. But if we have grown only in size, we deserve no credit because every high school has increased its enrollment in recent years. Has the quality of instruction improved? Have the standards of scholarship been raised? Have higher ideals of school citizenship been practiced? Has character development been increasingly emphasized? Have we continuously added opportunities for learning the worthy use of leisure time? Has the student body shown a growing desire to serve the best interests of the school? Have we as pupils learned to appreciate the advantages of a modern high school provided at great expense by the taxpayers of our community? Are we learning how to become happy and useful citizens? If we as teachers and pupils can answer TES to all these questions, then this pictorial review in the Scimitar will indeed be 'La thing of beauty and a joy forever. May we continue to grow in our determination to improve ourselves, our school and our community! P. C. Bunn Superintendent P. C. BUNN

Principal C J W LUTTRELL Q14 Sllessage from Mr Luttrell . . For many months the staff and sponsors have contributed their thought and energy in planning and producing the pages of this year's Scimitar. They deserve our unstinted praise and heartiest congratulations for presenting to the school the realization of their hopes and plans in this graphic representation of the many and varied activities of our large family Its attractiveness will appeal to anyone who by chance glances inside its covers, To all who are intimately acquainted with the daily work and activities of our school, it will aid in recalling countless happy hours and scores of pleasant relationships. As a placid lake reflects the beauty which surrounds it, so these pages reflect the beautiful human relationship of high school days. Such experiences cannot be reproducf ed by the lens of any camera or portrayed by the brush of any artist. These intangibles of life are the enduring and satisfying memories which come to those who have honestly endeavored to improve themselves in the hope and belief that they might be of greater service to others. Therefore, interesting and attractive as this picturefbook in itself proves to be to all of us, its reflections will be even more interesting and attractive. The zealous support of the activities of the school, the inspiring loyalty to its or' ganizations and ideals, the cultivation of acquaintanceships and formation of the lasting friendships among students and teachers, the awakening and developing of the intellect, the desire to live for others as well as for oneself, and the unfolding of the spiritual side of life-these are the reflections in the 1937 Scimitar. o. 1. w.
