f I,Ug11,5 LXUQLYTI' Laos: jonxsox SPONSORS Ah hal quoth Sherlock Holmes. Here, my dear Xiiatson. is the solution of the mystery 'VVhat makes the class of '27 so great?'. lt's their sponsors. l'YVhich sponsors? asks Vkatson. You know this class has had five. Wihich ones have made thc class great? True, my dear XYatson, the class has had tiveAMiss Merriman and Mr. Clarke for the first year, Miss Horn and Mr. Clarke for the second year, and Miss Aucutt' and Mr. johnson for the last two years. Xiihile Miss Merriman. hfliss Horn and Mr. Clarke, who left the school and incidentally the class. taught them to be real lil Tee Hi students, and helped them to put over a big play, yet most of the credit should go to the present sponsors. And there, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, is where we Qthe class of '27l agree with you. For just how much could we have done without chic, brown-eyed Miss Aucutt, and Mr. johnson, the one teacher with a natural blush? They have finished the task set by the first sponsors-that of making us into real L. T. H. S. products-- and if they are disappointed in the results, they have cleverly managed to hide that disappointment under their friendly smiles. XVhen we have struck the ruts and bumps on the road of high school life, they have come along with their tow- ing-truck of encouragement and cheerfully pulled us out. When we have success- fully put over a play or banquet, they have been ready with a word of praise to reward us. And while we are grateful to both of them, we wish especially to thank Miss Aucutt for the held and inspiration she has given us in the publication of this Tabulae. Truly they have been the pep of our pep, the success of our success. 'lYes, my dear Wiatson, the sponsors have made the class of '27 great. And Watson replies, Quite so. ' H. M. l27. Page 16

For we are well able to judge the worth of our past accomplishments, though Fate alone, who guards the Books, can tell of our successes in the future. The faculty of L. T. H. S. will not soon forget the records of Nina Swindall, Jane Kidston, Eric Janze, Martha Janota, and many others. Nina Swindall has maintained a four-year average of 96.452, the highest in recent years. ,27 has also written heavily in the books with her athletic feats. The basket- ball team with four Senior men out of live playing was more successful than it has been for years. The team, among other accomplishments, defeated Hinsdale, Champions of the VVest Suburban League. Gage is one of the foremost high hurd- lers in the state and is the first man from Illinois to win the high-point trophy at the Northwestern University National Interscholastic Meet. The relay team composed of four Seniors, Gage, Cave, Abarbanell, and Konovsky, ran second in a record-breaking heat at the University of Illinois All-State Meet. On the stage the names of Miriam Allen, Francis Huebsch, Alice Stevens and a host of others are seen to stand our clearly. In journalism we offer Robert Buford, editor-in-chief of the Lion, which took the state championship at Knox. Buford has been, to a great extent, responsible for the tremendous development which has been brought about in the Lion this past year. VVho can predict anything but success for such organizers and managers as Thurman Hollenback or Leslie Harper. Hollenback has handled the finances of our class and of its activities for the last three years, Harper is the editor of this Tabulae. VVe can but look with pardonable pride at the deep, heavy marks which we have made through our four years within the portals of L. T. H. S., and it is cer- tainly with a good deal of regret that we part and set out in life. R. L. B., ,27 Page I8 X--ny. .x Xi' L-Z AQ, lib :fly J-l. . x tg: 'fiitglig 'FOX l X A in X .e r . w - 1 si.
