 Luveme High School is a living, breathing, growing person; and like a person, LHS has its joys and sorrows, its loves and hates, its victories and defeats, and its purpose to accom- plish. In short, our high school has a definite, unique personality. This is as it should be, because it is composed of young men and women who are working, striving, learning, - seek- ing together for the keys which will open the doors of happiness and success. But LHS is even more than this. Luveme High School has a soul. Have you ever walked down the deserted corridors toward the close of the day, and had the feeling that someone, some friendly being, was there with you? If you stop momentarily as you pass along, and listen closely, do you not almost hear a pulse, - a throb of life, even though there is no sound being made by ordinary hands? Is there not a strange feeling of inspiration, as though you were in communion with some unknown spirit? That is the Spirit of LHS. It is a priv- ilege reserved for those who will be still and listen. A mere book is woefully inadequate to convey a complete picture of Luverne High School. At best it can present only a dim outline, - a silhouette, - of the people and activities which are LHS. It is written that an institution is the lengthened shadow of its people. In our Car- dinal for 1953, we have tried to catch not only this outline, this shadow cast by the students of LHS as they go about their activities and school life, but perhaps a bit of the reflection of LHS herself, who is well known and even better loved by those who pass through her gate- way, and on into life.

fceMcatm To you, George Schade, we students of Luverne High School humbly wish to dedicate our Cardinal for 1953. In comparison to the gratitude we feel in our hearts and minds, it cam be only a small token of our appreciation for your instruction and advice which has guided so many of us through high school and out into the world beyond LHS. May we salute you and thank you for helping us, through your broad store of knowledge, to understand and appreciate the world around us, and to understand ourselves a little better, too. May we thank you for your quick sense of humor which lends proportion to a world so desperately in need of something to balance it. But above all, Mr. Schade, may we take this means to show our gratitude and esteem for your active philosophy that teen-agers are in- deed worthwhile people with whom to work, and to whom to dedicate one’s life. For these we are thankful, - in these you are great. 3
