The chord is the heart of good music and art. lt is exemplified by the skillful blending of voices in song, or the careful harmonizing of colors in a painting. Through artistic endeavor - from sketching and barbershop harmony to portrait painting and choral singing - comes real enioyment and fulfillment. But talent is not a requisite for reaching this fulfillment, an understanding and appreciation of beC'U'lY el'1Gbl9S US to attain this obiective too. .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Page 50, The Clie!! fdllglle symbolizes the importance of study and fluency in a foreign language. ln the present, knowledge of a foreign tongue is invaluable in understanding modern problems. Languages, both classical and modern, reveal the cultures of their people, their pattern of life and thought, and the causes for deep-seated and often misunder- stood attitudes. The hope for a unified world lies in clarity of communi- cation between men. ,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,....,,,,,,,.,.,,..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,, .,,,.,,, P age 60, The Core of Sfrellgfh is the combined physical effort of a people. Athletics, on both the interscholastic and intramural level, con- tribute greatly to the physical conditioning of youth, and to the feeling of teamwork and sportsmanship. Equally important are those who ad- minister to physical needs, to the physical plant of the school. On the basketball floor, in the locker room, through a combined effort comes the core of strength. ....,......................,........................................ Page 68. The carefree hOUl'S are the times when problems disappear and enioyment prevails - meeting the gang at the Corral, feeling the excitement as the Homecoming Queen is announced, working on the Boys' Club float, dancing at the Girls' Club Midwinter Dream. These carefree hours are well spent, for the social activity in high school carries through into later life, helping to form the bonds of adult friendships, the heart of future society. .............................. .......................... P age 92. HeCll'el'S of 'Hle chimes are the students at LTHS. Theirs is the immense responsibility of the future. Through four years the high school prepares the students for the problems they face tomorrow, specific and exacting problems. The responsibility for tomorrow rests with the learn- ers of the present, with those who realize the importance of a sound foundation for the future. It is for youth that all education, all plan of learning, is conceived. And for LT youth the T958 Tabulae was created. Page 102. . ,ggl .l Wifi Ei H..

The 1958 Tabulae presents its story through nine sections, each showing a different phase of education, each telling its own tale of the development of tomorrow's world - now. An unconquered frontier is awaiting the student of mathema- tics and science. By independent research and classroom activity he learns the principles that will enable him to explore the future. While the results of a lab experiment in chemistry class or a homework assign- ment in trigonometry will not be immediately useful to others, the pat- tern of thinking established will be all-important to man facing this unconquered frontier. ................,,................ ..........,.,................. P age 10. The need to be hedfd is the necessity of communication be- tween men. Through school publications and theatrical productions comes a picture of student life and activity. In the study of English skills and communication in class, the talents of speaking, writing, and interpreting ideas develop. The need to be heard, to gain personal contacts and to share learning, is a fundamental part of a modern society. .... Page 18. The S'l'I'dl1g8l' in mall is the hidden self that formulates ideas and opinions, and encourages interest in others. Social studies opens the door to active participation in civic affairs and realization of civic responsibilities. School politics and debate aid in the development of clear thinking, working for the benefit of others is practical experience in human relations. Through social studies students begin to know themselves. .............................................................,.......,............ Page 30, The spirit of SEFVFCG is the genuine desire to help another learning the skills of the home, by aiding in secretarial tasks, or preparing to be a servant to future needs. The reward of service is the by by satisfaction of giving someone an important bit of help, an extra in- centive, a boost over a difficult spot. Through the beneficial spirit of ser- vice, present and future, the burden of others is substantially lightened Page 38.

gn' Now is a time of advancing. It is a glimpse of things to come, a preview of tomorrow's world. We look back and compare yesterday with today and we look forward, comparing today with tomorrow. We see the rockets, which yesterday has willed to us, and try to realize exactly what tomorrow will bring. Our task now is to prepare ourselves to bring tomorrow's rockets into being. 7958 previews a future fglrv .
