Officers of ’43 Credit Where Credit Is Due Goes to Mr. and Miss L. H. S. May Day Festival Portrays Court Of Friendship; Patti Siceloff, Queen Although we may be overrunning the code of ethics of the journalism profession, we justly give “Credit Vvlhere Credit Is Due” to the editor and business manager of the LEXHI PEP. If we are doing the inappro priate thing, we are sure that the merit of^Jeenne Wihiamson, editor- in-chief, and Charlie Williams, busi ness manager, will make up for the lack of ethics. Jeanne Williamson throughout her three years in L. H. S. has been one of her most outstanding students. ■Wdien Jeanne entered L. H. S. her sophomore year, she was elected to the highest honor of her class, the presi dency. She started on her journalis tic career her junior year, and her senior year she was chosen to head the 1942-43 LEXHIPEP staff as edi tor-in-chief. Her popularity, leadership, charac ter, service, and scholarship are prov ed by her being chosen for mernber- ship in the Tau Kappa Phi, National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Latin Club, Cotillion Club, Beta Club and Glee Club. For the past two years she has served as a drum majorette and was chosen to be the most oustanding girl and the one having the most per sonality in her class her senior year. Throughout her versatile high school career, Jeanne has figured most bril liantly in music circles, having won the City Music Medal her sophomore year.

Class Mascots Valedictorian and Salutatorian DEDICATION —The Editor Bestowing upon our fathers and mothers an honor which they more than justly deserve, we, the seniors, dedicate our own issue of the LEX HIPEP to them, hoping that they in turn may know that we realize and heartily appreciate the mil lions of insignificant little things they do for us each day. For the loving care that they have given us, for the unselfish attitude that they have shown toward us, and for the unwavering hands with which they’ve guided us, we salute them. Our only wish is that we may be worthof them.
