Lewistown High School
1923 Lore
Sixth Annual Commencement Number, June, 1923
TO THE JUNIORS
| The Seniors once seemed very tall,
Towering up above us; While we, like you; were Juniors small, And they looked down upon us. Now we've reached the dizzy height, Set by our youths' ambition; We see things in a different light, Nor boast of our erudition.
We're humbler than we would have thought, When filled with so much learning; And blessed with all your kindness brought To us, our love for your returning. And so, with all our added strength, We have not strived in vain,
To ease your burdens, till at length Cur wisdom will prove your gain. So while, dear friends, We're one at heart, And soon we shall step down, You'll take our place And do your part, Regardless of renown.
But to us, the thought you owe, That you can never be, As wise and powerful, That we know, As the Class of '23. |

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY
Gone are the days, when as Freshmen, we giggled, talked in chapel, had a party, dabbled in athletics, and became generally acquainted. But we fondly remember learning the "ropes" of old L. H. S.
After the green had completely worn off - even around the edges - we brightly dawned upon the High School as Sophomores. 'Twas then that the others sat up and took notice! For almost immediately we won the basketball championship and showered honors upon ourselves in so doing. Who does not remember how the Sophomores introduced the custom of having a peppy parade before basketball games?
With all the dignity befitting upper classmen, the Juniors elected as their officers: Harry Saxton, President; Madge Womer, Vice President; Charles Gochnaur, Secretary, and Kenneth Hess, Treasurer.
At the end of the first semester the great Junior exodus took place. Two entire sections moved into different rooms - an unheard of proceeding up to that time.
This year we unselfishly gave our best athletes to the Varsity teams, but still nobly maintained a high position in sports. Then, too, we were the first class to be 100 per cent. in athletic dues.
Next year, as Seniors, we shall strive to do - as we have always done - our best for our class and for our school.
