A SENIOR'S SCRIBBLINGS —Janet Brown Congratulations are in order to the following: The Band, for its achieve ment in winning first prize in Richmond; the new members of the Honor Society; Mary Jane, for being such a lovely Homecoming Queen; and to Mary Jane, again, for being elected Miss Toast of L. H. S. A great many students owe a vote of thanks and appreciation to Jean Hall—the gal with talent. It was Jean who did a great deal of the sign painting and decorating on many of >the floats. You did a swell job, Jean, and we don’t know what we would have done without you! « 9^ « « Have you ever had so much fun in your life as we did at the Cheer leaders’ Dance- Let’s make it an annual affair for Halloween! * * « Mr. Frank Clark is making a bid for THE MAN OF THE YEAR, it looks like to us. In addition to his ability as a dramatist (his readings are really quite thrilling), he is a real “country boy”. His 6th period sociology class took a field trip into the fields (naturally—where else?), and it was quite a suc cess. Ask any member of the class for details! Highlights Of The Highways —^JoAnn Leonard Thursday morning, October 12th, at 9:30, began one of the happiest col lection of memories that the LJIB. Band has ever known.

Everyone had his picnic lunch packed — and, as usual, “Radar” had his canteen. But instead of Pepsl-Cola, it was filled with Hadacol! He said that he knew he couldn’t make the long trip with out the helpful energy. Well, we were off, and everyone was happy and singing. We made our first stop in Danville, Va., where we had our picnic lunch in the park. After “gorging” ourselves with food, we con tinued on our happy journey. We arrived in Richmond at 4:00 P.M. in holiday spirit. In the hotel, we were assigned our rooms with six of us in a room. At 4:30 we were placed on our own and departed to various places after being reminded that we were to be back at 6:30, dressed in uniform. Then the big moment arrived! With feverish haste, we lined up, ready to “strut our stuff.” After two hours of “strutting our stuff” without moving an inch, the parade began. The next three miles was a mixture of crowded streets, blaring bands, and aching feet. One of the minor calamities was the moment “Radar” bit the dust, and fell sprawling. The Hotel Richmond never suspect ed an endless invasion, and we are sure that the clerks will never be the same. One of them even had a heart attack while trying to quiet us down. The halls resounded with (Continued on page two) honor Society Inducts Seven New Members In an impressive candlelight cere mony, on Thursday, October 26, seven new members were tapped into the Na’tional Honor Society.
