Hedrick SERIOUS THOUGHTS “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him . . Rev. 3:20. “Fainthful service insures joyous days and pleasant memories.” —^F. T. Keeney EDITORIAL! Who’s He Kidding? —Gerry Butler -a , Who do some of these boys think they’re kidding, anyway? Some of them do have snazzy clothes—oh, man, but how are their manners? Most people seem to think that the days of chivalry are gone forever, but it isn’t altogether impossible for a boy to have some manners. A boy shouldn’t put his coat over a mud puddle for a girl, but he could at least open doors for her and do other little every-day things that mean a lot to a girl. After all, girls are only human and should be treated as such. Some boys beat on girls and push them around until the girls feel like turning into “Superwoman” or something and knocking the boys for a loop. What fun do the boys get out of doing this? They evidently get some fun or certainly they wouldn’t insist upon doing it. A boy would get along better with his best girl or any girl if he would just go to a little trouble to be polite and to have some manners once in a while. So come on boys, show the girls some real manners to go along with those good looks and swell clothes. OUR OBLIGATIONS TO GOD —Mary Anne Hunt “So live that every act of your life is worthy of being made into a universal law.” Only God is perfect. He wants us, as his followers, to be as nearly like Him as possible. None of us are expected to be perfect. But we should live the best that we know how so that when we die, our lives will have been worth a great deal to ourselves as well as to others. Our training begins when we are young. The environment which sur rounds us as youths affects the type of person we will be in thsjuture. If we tend to follow the good path, there will be many rewards. Life' is composed of many good and bad elements, both at our discretion. There is no such thing as fate or being loomed to a certain like. ’The attitude we take toward life is important, for only with determination and ideals can we succeed. We should strike out as many of the bad elements as possible, because they will only hinder our success. There is so much to be learned in this world that even the most learned person is ignorant of some of God’s handiworks. Life is too short to waste; yet, many of our acts seem slight and unimportant even to ourselves. There are many examples of great men who have crowded knowledge and good deeds into their lives in order that they may become nearer to the stars. They admit their ignorance, but only these men who are successful and have great knowledge are able to realize really their need to know even more. It is we who are small, insignificant beings who need to think deeply of life’s meaning. We are all on earth for a purpose, and it is our duty to discover our own obligations. Having found our purpose, we must lift our selves toward higher ground, for there are others who will be realized by future generations who, in turn, must do their best to fulfill their obligations to God. and Miss By M.A.H. & M.A.H. : ^ Hr, m2 -yA*: "^0 JEANINE MEACHAM AND JACK ALBER It’s spring and even the fishes have come out to enjoy it. Two of L. H. S.’s fishes are among them. They are Jeannine Meachum and Jack Alber, enjoying the beautiful water and spring flowers. Jeannine likes being a senior, sports (she surely does her share), chocolate cake, school (that isn’t meant for a joke), spring, people (and people like her), and Terry and the Pirates. Jeannine isn’t lazy, only human. She dislikes work but even if she does, you’d never know it ’cause she’s smart as can be. Conceited people are also one of her dislikes. Jeannine is liked by everyone and she isn’t conceited, so you can see why she dislikes conceit. Also she dislikes staying at home (who doesn’t?) and her “feller” takes care of that. In spite of her ambition, which is to get a sun-tan instead of freckles, (she looks three times as cute with them as she does without them). Jeannine also v/ishes very sincerely to be a good coach and there is no doubt that she will be. She added to her list to turn out a winning basketball team; after what Jeannine’s been through on our team we feel sure here’s will be a vic torious one. For her ambition she prefers Appalachian College, which fits in fine. That wonderful song, “Years and Years Ago,” by Dick Haymes, is her favorite along with “You Came Along” (as did George). Eat, drink (of course she means not intoxicating drink) and be merry, is her by-word, indicating her favorite pastime. We don’t have to tell you she’s on the basketball team ’cause she is the team (practically), and you can look at her pretty little head and see her scar. Also the Tri-Hi-Y is fortunate in having her a member, and the Beta Club. Loads of everything to one of the sweetest, cutest girls we know; here’s wishing the best of everything to you, Jeannine. Mr. L. H. S. for the month is Jack Alber. He is a swell fellow with very nice manners! Jack likes brunettes, ice cream, cinema (if a certain girl is along), Elizabeth Scott, Spring (the way it affects him, we reckon), “Home in Indiana,” Jr. and Sr. (we do too), to fish, Mr. L. H. S-, and Flayree’s bookkeeping class (he only wants an A). His dislikes are only a few; he doesn’t like people who don’t like him, spinach, exams (at Catawba), work (can’t say we blame yal), rainy days (you must be very sad these days), and contracts (the seniors agree with you!). For his ambition he wrote down C.P.A. Good luck to ya! His favorite song is “Guilty”. It sho’ is pretty. Jack’s favorite pastime is playing casino in 4th period (just ask Adele!). His college preference is Draughn’s or Jones! We are sure you will be real smart and learn a lot of education. Jack is in the Quill and Scroll (president), LEXHIPEP, Beta Club (secre tary), Etiquette Club, Home Room Representative, and Bible Club. The best of luck to ya. Jack! We hope you succeed as a C.P.A. and enjoy your college life at Draughn’s or Jones’!
