This is parts of the newspaper from Lisbon High School for the school year 1926-27. This is the second year of publication and is full of information about the students and even former students.
We the students of Lisbon High School take the opportunity to thank the class of '26 for the clock which they so willingly gave us on their departure showing the deep love they had for their school. It not only makes the High School more attractive but is also very useful and already we find it a necessary part of us.
Senior Class News
On September 7, 1926 the Jolly Juniors became dignified Seniors, with an enrollment of eleven. We were very sorry to lose four of our members, Margaret Blanford and Dwight Burroughs who moved to Emmittsburg. Lois Peddicord who is now attending business college in Baltimore and Amoss Holland who is working on the farm. We were very lad to add to our number this year Rachel Martin.
The class of officers elected for the ensuing year were:
President���Charles Fleming
Secretary���Helen M. Brandenburg
Treasurer���Julia Pearre
This class has undertaken to print the second volume of the school paper. We have worked very hard and are going to try to print eight editions, and have a large amount of money to make in order to finance it.
On Wednesday, October 6, the Senior Class gave a social for the benefit of the school paper. We cleared about twenty-two dollars, and have been serving hot lunches each day. We have served hot cocoa and hot weiners, hot soup and hamburger sandwiches. With the co-operation of every one we have been able to profit by this device.
The first of November we expect to give a play entitled "Which is Which".
We are endeavoring to make this the most profitable year in the history of Lisbon High School.
Junior Class
If on the seventh of September you had been in the rooms of Lisbon High School you would have seen the faces of the majority of the Sophomore Class of '25 and '26 or the last school years. A few who could not stand the shock of getting back on the old job again so suddenly (and it was suddenly the vacation this years seemed to last only several weeks) straggled in the second and third week after school had opened so that at the time this report is being written nearly all, in fact all except one of the class of last year, and to be seen in and about Lisbon High School. At the present time the class has a total enrollment of eighteen. At the first opportunity the class was called together and was organized: the following officers were elected for the coming year: Frank J. Brandenburg, president; Howard L. Stier, vice president; Katie Warfield, secretary. Al this meeting a reporter was also elected to write the report of the class each month for our school paper, namely Howard L. Stier.
The year, as last year is contributing some of its members to the Athletic Association, and tow of its members are captain and manager of the soccer ball team. They are Frank Brandenburg captain, and Howard Stier, manager. And nearly all of the class members are taking part in the soccer and field ball teams.
Agricultural Report
Last year vocational agriculture was started at Lisbon High School Animal husbandry and plant husbandry are offered on alternate years.
This is the year for studying animal husbandry. To date the following are the main topics studied this year:
1. Breeding of farm animals.
2. Types of cattle.
3. Theory of judging cattle.
4. Culling and selecting layers.
We expect to test herds of cattle to secure funds needed for our department.
The students are very much pleased to have Mr. Magruder for agriculture instructor this year.

News From The Primary Room
This summer the patrons of Lisbon High School gave a card party at the home of Mrs. J.M. Delashmutts in order to make money with which to buy play ground equipment. The thins arrived at Woodbine several weeks ago and were brought over to the school in a truck.
We are all very much pleased with them and we shall be very happy when they are ready for use.
Miss Aaronson has started a new orchestra in our school. Every Monday our music teacher comes and we always learn new and useful information about the instruments which we play. Our orchestra consists of combs, drums, bells and many other instruments.
Lisbon High School opened its new years with three new members on its faculty. We have had as our principal Mr. Robert Likely, formerly of Jarettsville, Harford Co., Miss Florence Massey, our English and French teacher, and Miss Edythe Winger, who teaches the forth and seventh grades. We were glad to welcome back our former teachers, Miss Dorothy McAlphine, history and science, Miss Virginia Aaronson, music, Mr. John Magruder, agriculture, and Miss Pearl Mercier, primary teacher.
We hope there will be a congenial spirit among the students and faculty and make this the most prosperous year the school has ever witnessed.

We again come back to dear old Lisbon High School hoping to accomplish greater things this year than we have in the past years. We are glad to welcome the Freshmen into our number and we hope they will cooperate in all our work and play.
One of the big things we wish to do this year is to establish a larger and better school paper, a paper that will represent the real school spirit of Lisbon High School, but in order to do this we must have the cooperation and help of not only the students but of all our friends and teachers as well.
We hope to make the High School the center of social activities in the community this year. We believe in the old saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
At different intervals during the year a play will be presented to the public by the different classes.
Our athletes are better organized this year and our boys and girls have been practicing faithfully, soccer ball and field ball. We wish them all success in the coming season.
We have just received some new play equipment for the little folks for which we are greatly indebted to the Parent Teachers' Association.
We are very proud of the clock the class of '26 gave to the school and we take great pleasure in expressing our thanks and appreciation to that class.
