THE HI-NEWS 7 ring Truman Marlowe, Helen Ward- zala, Eva Knight, Walter Boiaski, Charlotte Ramsay, Will Edgar, Cath- erine Paterson, John Kulbanski. Thomas Cairns, Edward Enos, and Ruth Fuller. The play was under the able direction of Mrs. Mary T. Cor- mier, No graduation is complete withou: photographs, the class being so dif- ferent that we did not break the camera. The class will wear caps and gowns at graduation exercises. The Kids Day went over big with everyone, although some seniors believed they could not even make believe for Kids Day. The time is here. We leave our desks and books to the new seniors. We wish to leave them all the pleas- ures that we had within the L. H. S. doors. We extend our greatest appre- ciation for the grand Promenade that they have so ably prepared for us, and we wish good-luck to them. It is the saddest and still the hap- piest moment for us when we grasp that diploma in hand. We are out, we are free, but wherever we are, we will endeavor to follow our class motto: BUILD FOR CHARACTER NOT FOR FAME Emily Mondry Dorothy Potter:

6 THE HI-NEWS Class History Four years ago 150 students boarded the L. H. S. cruiser that was destined to take a four year trip around the world. For the first year we were just another crew, as it took us some- time to get our sea-legs for the long voyage we were to have. Upon landing on the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific we organized, believing that where there is union there is force. We elected William Edgar as our president and upon him we bestowed the burden of leading us. Charlotte Ramsay was elected vice-president, Emily Mondry secre- tary and Francis Palmer treasurer. Our social program began under the romantic skies of Hawaii. The Sopho- more Party, the event so often spoken of with great enthusiasm, took place in the Hawaiian Islands, where many were affected by the moon, the quiet waters and Hawaiian cupids. Mr. Joslow our principal drew his final decisions from this party—that no class will ever entertain at a private party again. En route, many of the students who sought greater adventure than we could offer, left us. Some are still out in Hawaii and a few are big game | hunters in Africa and Ludlow. The year of 1933 found us in Europe, ready for another strenuous year. On board, two elaborate affairs were sponsored, the Hallowe’en Dance and later a Harvest Dance, both of which proved very successful. We distin- guished ourselves in the National Olympics, the class receiving out- standing honors. At Oxford, Walter Polaski and William Edgar were hon- ored for their oratorical abilities. There we met our leading faculty members, Mr. Arthur Burgess from the English department, Mr. John J. Millane, Science department, and Mrs. Mary T. Cormier, Commercial depart- ment. They are almost gray after trying to manage us for four years, yet the Class cannot find words to thank them and show our great ap- preciation for their help and advice. We failed to visit Germany, but we were glad that Hitler did not see our arch-bearers’ fancy marching. Hitler would have certainly torn his hair. The arch-bearers were Will Edgar, Walter Bolaski, Albert Lagasse, Elsie Arca- bello, Ruth Fuller, Charlotte Ramsay. The Junior and Senior Promenade was given in Paris. With sleeves rolled and sweat on the brows, tramp- ing woods in search of daisies, we succeeded finall y in making the affair as elaborate as we could. In Paris we were escorted by a French guide, Mademoiselle Bergeron, to the French salons, cafes, museums and ruins. Besides sight seeing, we received some knowledge of the French language. The fourth year our L. H. S. cruiser kept drifting closer home. Impatiently we waited for our class rings, but issued radio-grams informed us that all the gold was being hoarded and the price of the rings would be too great so we waited. The elections of 1934 brought the following results: For three years Will Edgar sits in the Presidential chair, vice-president Walter Boiaski, the business affairs are recorded by the secretary, Emily Mondry, the financial worries are taken care of by the treasurer, Katherine Kras. The dramatic abilities of the class were shown when the class opened their senior year with the presenta- tion of “Skinner’s Dress Suit,” star-
