L.H.S. CHRONICLE less oem 'CADIEUH As we stand upon the threshold Of the parting of our ways, Our hearts feel sad and lonely And full of hope for future days. The understanding guidance, That has helped us in the past, Will stand out above all others Like our Hag upon the mast. Each teacher, that has guided us From shattered hopes and fears, Will have a place within our hearts Throughout the coming years. We'll miss that walking up the hill In fair and stormy weather, We'll walk it surely in our dreams With happy classmates there together. Each face will linger in our memory Within our hearts and minds Forever stamped indelibly None finer could we find. No better school in all the world Could we ever hope to spy With teachers more unselfish Than in good old Lewis High. We'll miss each little study, Each smile that beamed our way, And when we think of parting We wish that we could stay. To say, goodbye brings sorrow, So let's just say adieug Not farewell to our classmates But, I'll be seeing you.

L.H.S. CHRONICLE Act Four! Seniors! After years of patient struggle, this lofty milestone has finally been reached. Ah, for the prestige, the savoir faire, of the senior! As we pause to reflect on our achievements during the first three acts, we ind that not only have we made accomplishments in education, but also in sports, where such athletes as Dave Wallace, Danny Martin, and Pere Welch have helped establish a reputation for our cast. Continuing with our reflections, we discover a shocking fact. From the original cast of two hundred, a large majority has fallen by the wayside. And even now the less than eighty hardy seniors who remain, are having their ranks depleted by the boys who have enlisted, and will be in the armed forces, before graduation. The calendar for the senior year is of course the busiest and the most important. One of the most successful affairs was the presentation of the senior play !'Cheerful Little Earful under the able direction of Miss DeGere. Our veteran cast of troopers won the acclaim of their audience, in the well filled auditorium. Officers for this year were David Wallace, leading man, George Smedberg co- leading man, scribe Bernice Choquette, Ruth Barbier, custodian of funds, and Miss Magut, director. On the billboard for the rest of the season remain several of the most important affairs of our class history. The Senior Prom much to everyonels disappointment was cancelled because the majority of the senior boys had left for service. However in its place we will give an informal dance, then will follow Class Night, and the crowning point of achievement-GRADUATION. As we arrive at the finale of Act Four, we approach one more act-the future. Our class along with other wartime classes may justly claim the distinction of being different, for as we enter upon Act Five, we realize it shall soon be a postwar future- a world with new opportunities. What degree of success we shall attain may well be determined by the experience gleamed from the preceding four acts. SIDNEY SHERMAN 1 Page Sevwzlccn
