SERIOUS THOUGHTS
Mark 4:26 And he said, So is the Kingdom of God, as if a man should
cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed
should spring and grow up, he hnoweth not how.
“Close to my heart I fold each lovely thing
The sweet day yields; and, not disconsolate.
With the calm patience of the woods I wait
For leaf and blossom when God gives us Spring!”
From “A Day,” Stanza 6
By John Greenleaf Whittier
Tillie, Barbara, Eddie and Bob Rate (con’t.)
have a better time in dear old L. H. S.
She likes high school fine and says
it’s just what she expected. Getting
to see verybody and having lots of
fun are the things she likes best about
Lexington High; but, like everyone
else, she would like to have a few
changes made. She says that going
to the gym every day, and having
more movies and more assemblies
would make life in high school much
more fun. She likes football (who
doesn’t?), and wants to be on the
basketball team. Her biggest ambi
tion while in high school is to be a
cheerleader and on a staff. Barbara,
we know you’ll get to do all those
things, and we want to say that L.
H. S. is glad to have you.
The other boy is Bob Stafford, and
we know you will all agree that he’s
a mighty cute guy. He hails from
Robbins and says he likes high school
better than grammar school. He
agrees with everyone else in that high
school is very different rfom gram
mar school. Bob says that here you
have more freedom and the work is
easier!! (This guy must be a brain!!)
He would like a bigger gym, more
and better assemblies, and cushioned
chairs in the auditorium. (We all
agree on that one!) Bob’s football
ambitions are to make first string full
back and be an all-Stater in future
years. What Bob likes best is that
there are more opportunities for
sports, and he enjoys taking gym. His
biggest ambitions while in high school
are to make an A on history (is it
possible??), also the A honor roll, and
to be captain of the football team.
Those arc mighty big ambitions.
Bob, but we know you’ll succeed in
everything you try to do!!
Well, there you are, folks, four
members of one of the cutest sub
freshmen classesc to hit this high
school. They arc the juniors and
seniors of the next few years, but if
they are all as cute and as smart as
these four, then we know that we
seniors are leaving L. H. S. in good
hands.

While “blowing” around today, whom did we find making a kite to fly
Jn this breezy weather but Mr. and Miss L. H. S., Marie Everhart and
Charles Swicegood. Charles and Marie are getting ready for the windy
weather in this month of March. (Together?!) They are one of the cutest
steady couples in the Senior Class (in the writer’s opinion!). Interviewing them
was lots of fun, ’cause they leally are swell kids.
Marie’s hobbies are drawing and watching Charles play baseball. Her
ambitoin is to become an artist. (We know she’ll be a good one!) She is
going to take a business course at Ashmore Business School. Her favorite
pastime is just sitting and thinking (and dating Charles. Natch?!)
Marie’s activtiies include the Tri-Hi-Y, manager of the girls’ Basketball
Team, and president of the Glee Club. Her favorite songs are “Maybe
You’ll Be There” (Say, we like that too!!), and “I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat.”
(Wonder what kind of memories “that” brings back!.!)
Marie likes all her teachers (clever gal, isn’t she!,!), especially Mr. Clark
(if he wouldn’t tease her so much!), and her favorite subject is typing.
Her biggest weakenss is potato salad and a cheeseburger from the Soda
Sli.^ppc, tapering off with a strawberry milkshake.
Digging more into Marie’s private life, we found out that the type date
she prefers is one that is thoughtful, courteous, and understanding. (The
Charles Swicegood type, of course!?!) Naturally, Marie thinks “Charlie” is
the cutest boy in L.H.S.
When asked about the best time ever had, Marie replied that it was on
one of her dates with Charles when they went ’possum hunting with Janet
and “Millie,” and Marie fell in the creek (with Charles’ help, of course!?!)
Jeepers! We’ve asked Marie so many questions that we haven’t given
her “man” an equal chance to say something.
Charles is the athletic type (yummy!) as you can surely tell by his won
derful physique. He is one of our most valuable players on the basketball
team, and proves to be a promising baseball player this season.
His ambition is to play professional baseball. (What’s this, another Babe
Ruth?) His hobby is sports. (How odd!!) Charles’ college preference is
Wake Forest College. (Good college, bo’!!)
His favorite subject is math, and his favorite teachers are Mrs. Hedrick,
Miss Hill, and Mr. Clark. (He must wanta make good grades, too!!)
The best time he ever had was beating T-viile in basketball this year.
(You mean ya’ didn’t enjoy “pushing” Marie in the creek, Charles?!?)
“Charlie’s” favorite pastime is talking about sports (and dating Marie.
(What a coincidence!!) The type dale preferred by him is the Everhart type
(one that doesn’t want her way all the time!?)
Tops on his list of movies is “Gone With the Wind,” and “The Pride
of the Yankees” is his favorite book. “Maybe You’ll Be There” is his favorite
song, too. (It must birng back nice memories?!?)
When asked what his weakness was, Charles replied that he had none.
(We bet we know one!)
His activities include the Varsity Basketball Team, the Student Council,
and the Baseball Team.
It has been swell interviewing Mr. and Miss L.H.S. this month. Here’s
our very best wishes to them, and we hope that they stay together for a long
time. Guess we had better be breezing along ’cause the time is running out,
and we want to go fly our kites, too!
