DAL LE VON EDITORIAL ,1 in presenting Dal. Le. Von. to the Loveland plubhc, we do it Wlth a feeling of appreciation to those who have in any way cooperated with us to make it 21 success. After going to press we realize that mistakes have been made, for all of which we have no apologies to make. 11 might be well to explain the meaning of Dal. Le. Von. It is easily cxplained as it ha: no meaning. Its origin, however, has quite a history and was suggested by Mr. Meranda after many attempts to find a suitable name for the annual. It is in fact a Hprinterk pie and comes from the word'Loveland. Mr. Meranda says that it was suggested to him by the name of MilforLVS H.

DA L LE VON 19 V Few can realize the thrill that we received when in May we were in- ormed by our reports Hpromotcd t0 the Senior Class. Our Senior year was undertaken with a spirit of gladness and also one f sadness. Gladness because we are about to reach the pinnacle of our ambition; sadness. because we soon must leave Old Loveland High and all its endearments. XYith a determination to make this a record year in our studies we bravely set about our tasks. The Annual Reception was given the Fresh- men and several Other parties. Mere words cannot describe these good times. During this year the following class officers were elected: President, Elizabeth Coyle; Viee-President, Clay Boone Spencer; Sec- retary. Elizabeth Seaman; Treasurer, Donald Walters. Pink Rose was chosen for the class flower. ' Athletics. which in the last year has added fame to Loveland High, has in seasonable routine increased our interest and pleasure in school life. Our class may well be proud as the present championship of the girls, team and the elegant showing of the boys, team was due to the training obtained during the three years of their high school course. Actuated by the endeavors of their former classmates, new graduate, to place our Alma Mater high in loeal athletic circles. Long after other events are faded from our minds there will always be remembered a most delightful social function, the last banquet given at the Cncinnati Auto Country Club in May by the Junior Class in our honor. 'W'c lccl that in these four years we have grown intellectually; that our moral fibre hae been strengthened by the self-control we have had to practice; that we have gained initiative, that is, we hope to be able to apply our past experiences aided by our reasoning power to the solution of the unexpected problems that may come to us. He feel that our four years of training will better tit us for positions and be of some social service to our community. We come to the end of our history and as we are about to say fare- well to Lovelaml High we know if we maintain the standard set by her we cannot fail in our undertakings of lifeis work. With hearty good w'shcs for the success of our classmates and the hope that Loveland High will continue to do for the future students the work it has done for us, we the class of '22. write ilhnisil to our history.
