Lenore Kirschweng THE "BLUE AND GOLD." With pardonable nride the Class of '17 submits this little volume to a large circle of interested friends confidently assured that it will meet with a kind reception. Like every human effort the "BLUE AND GOLD" has defects, of which the editors are more conscious perhaps, than anyone else. We are comforted, however, in the realization that we are pioneers in our efforts as far as our own Alma Mater is concerned. To the best of our knowledge and research, none of our esteemed predecessors from these halls of learning ever published a Year Book. For that reason we have not had the aid of precedent or help of custom in preparing this volume for publication. Our class has blazed the trail; the classes that follow will profit by our achievement and improve upon our example. While we congratulate ourselves and "point with pride" to our success a consciousness steals over us that without the support and co-operation of other agencies our efforts would not have been so well rewarded. With due respect to these instrumentalities, therefore, we gladly and wholeheartedly voice our appreciation of their financial and moral support. The business men of the Torch Lake towns and of outside firms by ungrudging financial support made possible the publication of the "BLUE AND GOLD." Our most sincere thanks go out to them. We owe a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid by mere sentiments couched in cold type. In a very substantial manner we can evince our appreciation by patronizing those firms who were big-hearted enough to assist us. Please do it. To our faculty advisors for help, guidance. and constructive criticism we are thankful. They were always ready to help staff members even though it entailed extra work to an already busy routine. We appreciate the spirit of the other classes. Their support was spontaneous and generous. As alumni we will be only too glad to help if opportunity should present itself in the future. Finally. we thank every person or agency who has contributed in any measure to the success of our effort. The tribute may be silent but it is sincere. We lay down the pen and draw the curtain on our high school career with a feeling of pride in the community, the faculty, and our own L. L. H. S. It is an institution with a splendid past and a bright auspicious future. "For our motto is the boldest "tis to do or die." THE OLD AND THE NEW. Terrestial things change. This is an immutable law of nature. Without it, progress would be impossible. Time, the agent of nature has decreed that in our own little world—the high school, a change for the better shall be made. Lake Linden is to have a new high school building. We are immeasurably pleased that the providence of events should order it so. Our only regret is that the contemplated change had not been consummated at an earlier date. At first glance this regret may appear selfish. If so, then we must plead the frailty of mortal flesh. It is but natural that a class whose determination to be just a little different from preceding classes, whose purpose was to forsake the time-worn ruts that characterize the old style graduation and to introduce a little innovation, should be piqued at the many handicaps. among which the inadequacy of our high school building was the most apparent. The reason just mentioned can easily be substantiated by facts. Sentiment of the class strongly favored a Senior play as a substitute for the venerable "honor list." Excellent reasons for the change were obvious. The class itself could participate more generally in the exercises of Commencement, and the novelty
