They were from Japan, Germany, and the United States, They were not talking about which one was best.^ They were simply enjoying one another’s friendship and fellowship. As they walked on, they were practicing these words: -y—"'In Christ there i^ no East or West!’ "The solution of the world’s problems begins in our hearts.” (Selected) WHAT’S YOUR CALIBER? —Patsy Craver What doss this school year have in store for us? That is the best ques tion to ask ourselves to determine if we have the real school spirit. Some consider this year as just another year of doing enough work to get by, but that is not the right outlook. Real school spirit is thinking of the coming year as a time for us really to make progress, meet new experiences, and to take a part in school activities with real enthusiasm. How can we get the true feeling of school spirit? The best way is to start pow and make this year mean something to us and not wait until it is too late to realize our mistakes. We must show a true spirit of consideration for others, because bur school is more crowded now than ever before and consideration is really needed. We have been showing wonderful spirit at our pep meetings and football games, but that doesn’t mean we can slacken; it means we must keep up the good work and improve each time. Let’s not slow down, but continue to support our team. If we keep up this good work we can really be proud of our school, but we must remember that the outcome of this year is in our own hands. STUDENT BODY CARRIES VOTE ON POINT SYSTEM Last May the point system, which was compiled and sponsored by the student council, was voted in by the student body. Its purpose is to limit the number of club offices and honorary positions in order to distribute them more equally. Out of a school of approxmately eight hundred students, it is believed that there are many students who possess the qualities of leadership. Point System A point system shall limit the clubs and honorary positions to students as follows and no student shall exceed 10 points: President of Student Body 4 points President of Senior Class 4 points President of Junior Class 4 points Editor of Publications 4 points President of any other class 3 points President of any club 3 points , Officer of any club 2 points Any other officer of a class other than President 2 points Varsity member of any team 1 point Captain of any team 2 points Member of any club or organization 1 point Member of any athletic team other than varsity team 1 point Cheer leaders 2 points Majorettes 2 points Any officer on Student Council other than President 2 points j^^HOUMcmo i-i- —Ruth A. Woodlief * , f Well, hi folks; hope everybody had a wonderful summer! Come on, you’re just in time for a free interview with the world renowned palmist, Madame So-So Zu-Yu. Look, she has some customers now! Why it’s none other than Corky King and Mary Jane Shirley, the Lexhipep’s Mr. and ^ Miss L. H. S.! Let’s eavesdrop a little. Sh-h! Madame Zu-Yu searches the depths of your subconscious mind and brings to light the hidden meanings of all your dreams! “Ahh—now w>e will get down to ‘beezness’! Your name, please. Miss? Miss Mary Jane Shirley, and you were 17 years old last December 31; um, that places you under the sign of Clarkevich, Susie Q.” Now I shall read and tabulate the vital statistics which you have, my robot secretary! Let’s see now—Mary Jane likes people, Dillon (who could that be?!?) and football games! (She says these are more fun when every body yells!!) She likes to go to movies, and to dances. Her type of boy is cube, a lot of fun, not conceited, and doesn’t think he’s the biggest Casanova in the world! She very definitely doesn’t like to get up in the mornings! (who does?!?) or eat spinich or turnip greens. She dislikes gossip and gossipers!! Mary Jane seems to be one of our most popular Seniors. She’s in the Beta Club, Treasurer of the Tri-Hi-Y, a Cheerleader, and, of the LEXICON. Her ambition is to be “Happy and Healthy!’’ (Is that ALL? Isn’t that enough!?!) Her hobby is to sleep; and when awake, she likes to talk! Her favorite song is “Long Ago, and Par Away.’’ She likes biographies best, in the book line, no special one. One of the best movies she’s seen was “Stars in My Crown”. Now Madame is deciphering the handwriting test. Listen! “Uphill writing—um—indicates optimism; fairly straight says you have poise, a goodly amount of self-control; rather widely spaced—you organize well, do work carefully; thin loops say no frills about you—you’re a rational being; some letters big, som small—means you have a restless nature; you’re seeking something and even you aren’t sure what it is. (Aren’t we all?!?) At last, we lok at 'the margins—an increasing left had margin indicates a lively, spontaneous person, one who is vivacious and very likely the life of the party. Mary Jane says: “All the rest of the Cheerleaders and I are hoping that the pep mee’tings will keep getting better and better!” “i really like the‘Y’ and I hope everybody is taking part in the activities and in taking care of it!” And you, sir, are? Oh, yes. Corky King, age 17, as of March 21, 1950. So, that means you were bom under the sign of—Joe Blow—according to our esteemed astrologer—Mr. F. Clarkevich! Now for your statistics—You love to sing. Corky, and to eat (hmn, how extraordinary!!) Likes all his teachers(??), all sports, especially football, and last but not least—all types of (nice) girls! Corky doesn’t like to lose ball games (who does?); or eat spinach. Neither does he like selfish people. But his pet peeves are: girls who talk a lot, and—girl who smoke!! It seems that Corky is very popular, ’cause he’s been recently elected President of the Senior Class. He is in several clubs—e.g. Quill and Scroll, Business Manager of the LEXICON, Secretary of the Key Club, President of the Honor Society, Hi-Y, and Beta Club. He also plays Varsity Football, Junior Varsity Basketball, and Baseball. Corky’s ambition is to be a Physical Education Director and coach. (Continued on page four)
