Loudoun County High School - Lord Loudoun Yearbook (Leesburg, VA)

Five happy, busy years have passed since our new consolidated Loudoun County High School first opened its hospitable doors to pupils of secondary school age in the county. Each of those five years has seen progress made in every phase of school life for this school that we have grown to love. Its very walls are now clear to us, trained within the shelter of them, we find our- selves agreeing with Charles Fletcher Lummis: I am bigger than anything that can happen to me, all these things-sorrow, misfortune and suffering-are outside my door, I am in the house and I have the key. This feeling of security grows stronger each year that we study here, for, like Lummis, we grow bigger than anything that can happen to us. Here we acquire the key that makes us able to keep sorrow, misfortune, and suffering. . . outside. The house is of course, in Lummis' epigram, our own selves: the key is the self-confidence that each of us has acquired through study and experience. To students at Loudoun County High School, loyalty to the school itself begins unconsciously when, timid and impressed with its grandeur, they enter its portals as eight grade pupils. Their devotion grows as the onward rush of years carries them farther toward graduation, at last, with hearts warm with affection for their alma mater, they as seniors graduate and leave her sheltering protection. They leave, fearless and confident, for their school has made possible for them the feeling Lummis describes-that they now are bigger than anything that can happen to them. Loudoun County High School has given them the key! Foreword
