Cfafm .Mafary ' A GROUP of eager patrons presses forward in a throng to catch a glimpse of a huge signboard placed outside a spacious building. They stand with upturned eyes looking at these big black letters: Hurry, hurry, hurry! Follow the crowds of lovers of the fine arts. Take this opportunity to learn of the wonderful accomplishments of the maroon and steel era of L. H. S. This building promises to show you the most renowned scenes ever to be gazed upon by any people. Attention, please! The price of admission consists merely of your interest. Visiting hours may be any time after June 14, 1940. This institution is under the supervision of Chief Instructor Zimmerman and his co- workers. As the onlookers hurry to cross the threshold of the massive structure known as A Museum of Higher Learning, the enticing letters of the advertisement fade away, and they find themselves a meager portion in this art gallery of education. They begin their journey down a corridor, whose walls are adorned with paintings. First, they see a gathering of students appointing Dorothy Jean Light and her assistants to begin the organization of the Sophomore Class. Immediately their attention is turned towards the illustrated scenes depicting the comedy entitled Well Met By Moonlight, presented to the art gallery March 9 and 10, 1938. Next, the visitors are amused by the etchings denoting gaiety, ballroom jitterbugs, and big moments at the May Hop. Engraved on the marble edifice, is an announcement concerning the dedication of the institution consecrated to the improvement of secondary education. So endeth the impressions received from their view of the activities and achievements of the progressive sopho- mores. Weary and exhausted from eye-strain and 'gleaming pains,,' the guests wander out to the garden to admire the shadows of a rapidly moving summer vacation, before con- tinuing their tour in newer and more spacious surroundings. The tourists proceed into the second department where their attention is attracted to the panels on which John Swope is shown delivering a speech of acceptance for the class presidency. To their right, they note a brightly-colored mural, picturing a gala party, taking place in the heart of the Christmas season. Suddenly one of the excited members of the group points out vivid scenes of the scrappy varsity basketball squad, which includes some of the junior lads. Horror and mystery overcome the visitors as they are startled by thrills galore shown in the piece of sculpture called The Ghost of Lollypop Bay. Three additions guaranteeing opportunities have been recently placed in the collection, such as, the Girls' Athletic Club, the Student Senate, and the Safety Patrol. Two life-like portraits of quick-tempered young ladies hang alluringly on the opposite wall, telling of the sprightly Lady Spitfire. The spectators return from a short intermission and become interested in a real- istic picture of the seniors eagerly proceeding on the last lap of their educational trip. Robert Kern is seen accepting the monitorial duties and urging onward the dignified upper classmen. Their first accomplishment is represented by a sketch, denoting the presentation of the flag pole at the newly-erected stadium on Dedication Day. An ac- jke 0 OZ,0Je5t0l'l0
