Hedrick Serious Thoughts Tre earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas established it upon the floods.—^Psalm 24:1, 2. The year’s at the spring; The day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hillside’s dew-pearled; The lark’s on the wing; » The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in his heaven— All’s right with the world! —Robert Browning Look to this day, for it is life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence; the bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a dreana. and tomorrow is only a vision; but today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day; such is the salutation of the dawn.—From the “Sanscrit”. A SPRING ANTIDOTE —“Teeny” Redwine Spring is here. This statement should have a very definite and impor tant meaning to every student; but rather than simply state this meaning, let’s reason it out. First of all. there are exactly 46 more days until summer holidays begin In this length of time most of us can determine our the year. We can sit and day-dream with “crowning glory”- If you haven t been passing so far. perhaps it’s a little late to recover y°ur losses com- pletely, but you can probably bring them up considerably, at any rate, dont give up! If you have been on the verge of failure all year, by all means perk up and make the very best of the situation these last few weeks. If you are an honor student, keep up the good work and don’t undo your striving efforts. At this hour of the game, whichever category you are in, make these last weeks count. EDITOR’S NOTE The LEXHIPEP has always been considered a newspaper for the stu dents, by the students, and of the students. Recently underclassmen have commented that the paper caters to senior news. If there is any noticeable partiality, it is because that particular group contributes articles and news items to the staff. If other classes would follow their procedure, we would be only too glad to publish their articles. We would like to propose a plan by which all classes culd be represented. This plan is for each class to select one representative to be responsible for getting all articles from indi viduals or groups to the LEXHIPEP room. By using this method, there would be no need for complaints.' Usually, those who complain are those who contribute nothing, and one usually gets out of a thing what he puts into it. The LEXHIPEP wishes to be the result of SCHOOL contributions, but it’s up to you, and the LEXHIPEP door is open. j^^HOUMcme —Janet Brown Since this is the month of March, who could be more fitting for Mr. and Miss L H. S. than Mary Dean Hedrick and Bobby Lee Parr (we mean by that the LION and the LAMB!) Doesn’t Mary Dean remind you of a meek little lamb, and Bobby Lee of a big, strong lion? Both are well-toown to all students of L. H. S. for their friendliness and participation in all school activities. Just about any time you see Mary Dean, she is with Johnny Morgan and you’ll always hear her giggling. Having some inside dope on her, the writer would be able.to print some interesting things about “Tiny”, but the writer, being sworn to secrecy, will have to keep back some of the facts. Mary Dean’s favorite pastime is loafing, and her weakness is banana splits. (That’s the reason she’s so fat!) Her hobby is Johnny. (We always said you should devote PLENTY of time to having a hobby!), and her favorite songs are “Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy” and “Blue Moon,” If you attended the basketball games this season, you probably saw a little streak of lightning with number 6 on it go flying by, but it was only “Tiny” confusing her guards by her fast brand of ball (the writer speaks with authority, for she’s tried to guard her!). Mary Dean’s favorite sport is basketball, and she said that basketball season has been the most fun she’s had this year (especially after the games—do you agree, Johnny?). The type of date she enjoys most is picnicing with a boy like Johnny Morgan (who’s this column about, anyway?). Mary Dean’s college preference is Mars Hill and she has hopes of being a teacher of commercial subjects. (We were informed that she’s a whiz with shorthand and on the typewriter.) She plans to spend the summer working. (At what?) The thing Mary Dean likes most about school is talking to everybody, and the Junior-Senior Banquet is her greatest anticipation of this spring. Included in her activities are memberships in the Tri-Hi-Y, Beta Club, Quill and Scroll, Basketball Club, and she is Feature Editor of the LEXICON and a member of the girls’ basketball team. With the aid of “Noodie” and Harriet, we began an interview with Bobby Lee, one of the brains of L.H.S. (Harriet’s the other one!) He first confided to us that his weakness is banana splits (Bobby Lee’s a little on the hefty side, too!). His favorite song is “I Can Dream, Can’t I?” and his favorite sport is skating. Bobby Lee’s hobby is flirting with Harriet. (This is very evident in LEXHIPEP, fifth period!), and his hobby is helping people with their home work. (Now the rush will begin!) He likes to come to school because he likes the people in it, and he says being a senior is a bad thing because you know you have to leave L.H.S. (That’s really a sad thought!) However^he says he is looking forward to doing a rhumba down the aisle with Harriet, come graduation. Bobby Lee has no worries about studies, and he was voted the Most In tellectual and the Most Studious by his fellow classmates. The best time Bobby Lee has had this year was going to High Point College and spending the day with Harriet. (We hear that was quite a trip —what say, Harriet?) In the spring a young senior’s fancy turns to thoughts of the Junior- Senior, for Bobby Lee is anticipating the great event also. His ambition is to be a teacher, and he hopes to attend Duke next year. Bobby Lee is in the Quill and Scroll, is a Scribe of the DeMolay Society, Treasurer of the Senior Class, on the LEXHIPEP staq, is a member of the Honor Society, and was a Marshal last year. As the LEXHIPEP goes to press, he is informed that he has just been named salutatorian of the grad- auting class with a high school average of 96.74. He will give the address of welcome commencement night. And so, with apologies to Johnny and Harriet, we leave our two March hares eating banana splits and dreaming of th* Junior-Senior.
