THE NEWSETTE The Newyette our semi-monthly school newspaper, has printed the latest developments in school news continuously for twenty-four years. This year it rates tops with all of the students, who feel it has surpassed all its previous records of achievement. The staff members have proved their ability, not only in their news and humorous write-ups, but also in outside contests. One of our co-editors+Russ Bombergerkput L.H.S. on the map by winning second prize in a state-wide contest. His essay was entitled My Community's Con- tribution to Pennsylvania's Greatness. Our feature editor, Jim Krum, won the bond drive contest with an essay stressing the value of defense bond purchases. Co-editors Russ Bomberger and Valerie Miller continued their Newsftte programs over WLBR on Saturday mornings under the name High-School Highlightsf' During their weekly half hour they gave us a complete picture of city and county school happenings, as well as all of the latest canned music. The sixth annual Christmas story contest, the prizes for which were contributed by Miss Joan L. Nichols, was a great success. The Nezosftte published the winning stories by Harry Siegel, Barbara Larpenteur, Richard Kettering, and Valerie Miller. The revival of Ed-O-Graphs and the publication of the sportsmanship rules and helpful hints to students were enthusiastically received by the whole student body. Jack Peifer's timely cartoons and drawings added the finishing touches to each paper. Between adding the final O.K.', and trying to keep the constant chatter to a minimum, Mr. Warfel, the adviser, showed unequaled perseverance and patience. The entire staff joins in wishing future Newrztte staff members as much fun, experience, and success as there were in Room 229 this year. ll67ll

LODESTONE Ah, yes! ltls the same old story. l forgot my write-ups were due today! This is the perennial cry of all Lodfftone staffs, but to date final deadlines have always been met. As you may know, this year is the hundredth annniversary of the founding of Lebanon Public Schools. The 1952 Lodfftone in addition to the usual activities of writing, dummy making, drawing, and typing, has been exceedingly busy. The staff has spent hours and hours in research in the library and in the Historical Society rooms, looking for material, for this very special yearbook. With the help of our advisers, Miss Nichols, Miss Ross, Miss VVagner, Miss Wierman, and Miss Hoffman, this task has been completed. Not only work on the annual yearbook has kept the staff busy, but also extra activities, such as making favors for the Veterans' Hospital, have engaged the time of a busy homeroom. In November the Lodfftomf and the Newrette homerooms held their annual contest to see which could sell the greater number of tickets for the senior class play. Although the Lodertone hates to admit the fact, the Newrfttf won. Only, however, by the skin of their teeth. The prize was an ice-cream party for the Newfette staff, in the knotty pine room. Lodeytone members serving as hosts. It seemed at first, as ifthe ice-cream party would be a Hpretzel party, because the ice cream arrived just as everybody was about ready to go home. The Lodzrlomf Christmas tree was awarded first prize at the senior Christmas party. Since Room 227 I3 had a share in this win, they, too, attended the party, which was given for the Newrerze. This is a cross section of the activities of the Lodertone. In closing, the staff members would like to thank the advisers for their help and their patience in preparing this Hundredth Anniversary edition. The whole staff hopes that you, the subscribers, will like it. ll66ll

SENIOR CLASS PLAY More folding chairslu A larger auditorium lv Standing room only! These were some of the comments as the house lights dimmed for the opening scene of Dear Ruth, presented by the senior class on Thursday night, November 15, 1951. K'Dear Ruth, a comedy in two acts by Norman Krasna, was successfully presented by Il cast of ten young thespians The play was coached by Mr. A. C. Berger, Jr., who was complimented repeatedly for his able direction. The plot centered around the activities of the Wilkins household. Miriam Wilkins, portrayed by Sandra Fees, was a typical teen-age girl who thought that she was much more versed on the activities of the world than were either her mother or her father, well-played by Barbara Larpenteur and James Krum, respectively. Miriam introduced countless tense moments into the play when it was discovered that she had been secretly writing letters to a lieutenant in the army and signing her older sister's name. When Ruth Wilkins, very well enacted by Valerie Miller, discovered the the plight into which her little sister had led her, she decided to entertain the lieutenant for a week end while he was on leave and to write a letter to him later explaining the whole situation. Things did not tllrll out as Ruth had expected, when Lieutenant William Seawright, excellently portrayed by Richard McCarty, fell head over heels in love with her in just the few hours that they spent together that week end. Chester Miles, portraying the part of Ruth's fiance, kept the audience howling in his role of Albert Kummer. Martha Seawright, Bill's sister, was played by Joanne Kreider. Martha and Sergeant Chuck Vincent, Qglohn Kershnerj added even more confusion to the household before they finally were married, as were Ruth and Bill. Dora, the colored maid CNancy Millerj, was much appreciated by the audience. And Henry Berger, in the role of Harold Klobber- meyer, provoked a last uproarious laugh, when, as the curtain was about to close, he appeared in a Navy uniform, seeking a Miss Ruth Wilkins. l68l
