HEMPERLY, Dean 'IUNIOR HISTORY HE jolly junior class has proved to be outstanding and shows promise of becom- ing even a more outstanding senior class. This plucky class of '42 has shown its influence in Fields of football, basketball, track, and wres- tling. Their acting ability was demonstrated when several juniors were chosen for promi- nent parts in the School Play. Their attend- ance at plays, musical productions, games, dances, and entertainments sponsored by the school was heartening to upper and lower classmen. The Iunior Class Party was a bril- liant success and will long be remembered. Our junior lads and lassies have been on the honor roll several times throughout the year. This proves that the gray matter is abundant and is growing greater as the years roll by. Entering high school is like taking a dive from a diving board. The sophomore year is a starting point where one takes the leap. If one makes a start from a sound foundation and takes a good spring, one will probably go places. During one's junior year, after taking the proper spring, one will soar through space with perfect ease, provided one has started from a firm foundation. Then, one will be ready to take the plunge into educating one- self for future Work. The third, and most vital point, is rising from the depths of education to the brink of one's future work. Some poor swimmers will never reach the top of the water and will drown helplessly. Others will come to the surface and climb the ladder of success. Which kind of swimmer are you, juniors? Time has proved that you have taken the spring from a good foundation. You have soared through the air and taken the plunge without difficulty. Now, complete the job and rise from the depths to success. SOPHOMORE YEAR OFFICERS EARL CLOUSER, President ROBERT PIAROTE, V IiC't'-PI't'.fl-df!!!

attendance, but also by actual participation of the members of their class, is vividly mir- rored. Our onlookers now cast their eyes upon the class of ,4I as they returned to complete the last lap in their educational metamorphosis, under the spirited leadership of Ed Neal and the capable direction of Mr. Tittle. They no- tice that the first project undertaken in this their last year is the production of the first mystery drama to be given in L. H. S.- The Cat and the Canaryf' Dead bodies falling out of secret panels, unearthly voices haunting the atmosphere, disputed wills, lovely heir- esses, eerie grandfather's clocks, easily fright- ened heroes-all pass by in ghostly review to startle their imaginations once more. All these scenes bring to their minds the overflow crowd which witnessed the first sell-out per- formance in their school's history. In correlation with outstanding achieve- ments, they observe the massed red and blue choral groups offering a distinguished Au- tumn Music Festival to the public. Following this event, they catch a glimpse of Old Saint Nick, impersonated by Robert Keller, handing out humorous and apt, but somewhat tactless, gifts at the Senior Class Party just before the Christmas vacation. On the next page they perceive the audi- torium tense with excitement as Mr. Zim- merman is about to announce Robert Don- ough as first prize-winner in the twenty-first annual Cyrus G. Rauch Boys' Oratorical Con- ICSL Opposite this picture, they find the same scene re-enacted with Marjorie Frantz the leading figure in the Girls' Oratorical Con- test, which took place a month later. The camera within a camera calls them back to the time when the school was up- roariously observing itself in classrooms and on the streets of town in the so-called Local Movies. Self-conscious giggles and rehearsed recitations were evident in this benefit Film which showed Lebanon to itself as it really is. The mademoiselle from the Continent then makes her appearance-a lovely little lady with a French accent and a propensity for seemingly throwing away money, though she was only trying to prove her sincere affection for the son of an ordinary American family. At the sight of her, the two perusers recall the splendid interpretation of The Adorable Spendthriftf' one of the most successful School Plays to make its debut behind Leb- anon High,s footlights. Beside this, they see a khaki-clad audience enjoying the skillful presentation. They view with happy thoughts the pic- torial remembrance of L. H. S. as it enter- tained the Southern District Convention of Student Participation in School Government, which was held in April. Scenes appear show- ing various groups discussing ramifications of the theme, Student Advancement of De- mocracyf, A dance conducted in an elabor- ately-decorated gymnasium is seen to climax this noteworthy gathering of students. Something unusual in a social function is strikingly brought before them as they come upon the gay parasols and glowing lanterns of old China at their last Spring Dance. The two observers are able to sense the growing excitement in their classmates as they prepare for the final episode in their academic career. They can see much hilarity and mirth, as well as some serious moments, in the pictures of Senior Color Day. Then the two are filled with tender and romantic memories as the contents of the album bring back the carefree laughter of their last and most sumptuous social event- the Senior Banquet. They see the Hershey Golf Club, lavishly decorated in crimson and gold, and the boys and girls dancing to the strains of soft music. Now they come to the last of the memory- filled pages, where they see impressive por- traits of serious and sedate graduates in caps and gowns, receiving their diplomas. The hearts of the two are filled to over- flowing with memories, and their eyes are moist, as, after having relived one of the most exciting and fun-filled chapters of their lives, they at last close the well-worn pages of time.
