John 14:19 “Because I live, ye shall live also.”
Immortality may be a word that we do not use very often. It
means unending existence or living forever.
We cannot understand the word forever, but there are some things
we are not meant to understand. We just rest in the thought of God’s
wisdom, and we feel sure that He will help us to know all that is
needful.
God must believe that he needs to remind us each spring of
immortality, because spring seems to shout the word.
PRAYER:
Dear God, in this spring season our hearts are full of joy in that
we shall live forever. We thank Thee for the resurrection of Jesus.
We do not yet know all that it means, but our hearts are glad in the
spring as we join nature and all Christian people in singing, “He is
risen!”
HEAVEN
—JANE BURRELL
“In my father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2.
What is heaven? Heaven is hope. It is true that neither heaven
nor hope can be seen. This brings in another element—faith. “Faith
is the substance of all things hoped for . . .’’-Hebrews 11:1. Here we
have another of life’s eternal triangles composed of heaven, hope,
and faith.
Why should we be concerned about heaven? We must be con
cerned because heaven is hope, and without hope there is nothing.
Also, heaven should be our supreme goal. We should spend our lives
working at getting to heaven, and entirely too many of us are playing
at it.
What is heaven like? John tells us that he saw “new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband.”—Revelation 21:2. We all picture heaven as having
streets paved with gold.
How does life in heaven compare with life on earth? The Bible
assures us that in heaven there will be no corrupt influences, abomi
nations, or temptations. Heaven puts an end to all pain, sorrow, and
death. Former things are left behind.
Last and most important of all, how do we certify a place for
ourselves in heaven? “And this is the record, that God hath given
to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”—I John 5:11. We will
assure ourselves of a place for ourselves by belief. Belief is faith.
Faith is hope. Hope is heaven.
It is almost like the person who is searching for his tennis racket
but cannot find it because he is looking only in the closet. Maybe if
he had not intensified his search in one spot, he may have discovered
that it was in the attic.
On the other hand, I think that the person who does nothing but
gallivant around the town during his high school years is not ready
for marriage either. This person is even less prepared for marriage
because he has no idea of what it is like to settle down with one
person.
The reason that tuese people find themselves in these two different
ruts is usually because society demands it. I think that if more people
would realize that they are all separate individuals with a mind of
their own, they would be much happier in the long run.

“ ‘Rich man, poor man, beggar
man, thief.”
Doctor, lawyer, merchant,
chief . . .”
Thus quoted Librari-Andy, ap
parently reminiscing of his long-
ago kindergarten days.
“That jingle reminds me of Ca
reer Day at school in February,”
said Librari-Ann. “You remem
ber, don’t you, when various per
sons in town came to school in
the afternoon, and after a sort of
introductory program in the audi
torium, all of us went to have
conferences with the counselors
about specific vocations and ca
reers?”
“Yes, I remember,” replied Li-
brari-Andy. “Did you decide what
you wanted to be or to do after
you finish high school, or grad
uate from college?”
“I have not decided definitely,”
answered Librari-Ann, “though
career day here did give me some
good ideas and information. Now
all I need to do is little “de
tective” work and follow up those
“clues to careers” that I gained
from career day.”
“The Library here is a good
place for all kinds of information,
you know,” suggested Librari-
Andy. “Some people think that the
library has books and magazines
o«ly, but it has many other types
of information.”
“Well, of course, I know about
the usual vocational and career
guidance books found in the non
fiction shelves. I know also about
the well-rounded, authoritative
pamphlets in the vertical file on
nearly every type career and
vocation we could be interested
in. There are pamphlets on taxi
dermy, beauty shop management
and culture, medicine, aeronau
tics, social service, education,
clergy, engineering, journalism,
librarianship — well, many oth
ers.”
“You failed to mention that
there are also many good books
of fiction that deal with voca
tions and careers,” added Librari-
Andy. “For instance, I have read
JET FLIER and JET PILOT re
cently. You might want to read
DR. KAY WINTHROP, INTERN,
or GOOD MORNING, MISS
DOVE.”
“Yes,” replied Librari - Ann.
“I’d like to add also that many
biographies, such as MADAME
CURIE, MAN HIGH, and AMER
ICAN DOCTOR’S ODYSSEY are
good reading, as well as kind of
firsthand views at vocations and
professions.”
“I’d like to add, too,” interrupt
ed Librari-Andy, “about the spe
cial vocational and career guid
ance corner in the library now.
It has been planned by the li
brarian, and will be a permanent
feature in the library. Special pos
ters, pamphlets, magazines, and
books of fiction and non-fiction,
dealing with many vocations and
professions will be displayed in
one corner of the library.”

Representing the symbol of this, the “great Day of the Irish” are
Ginger Yarbrough, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray V. Yarbrough, and
Leonard Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Gray Davis, Sr.
Miss L.S.H.S. is a popular member of the Future Teachers of
America. She has also served as Jr.-Sr. wwaitress.
If Ginger could trade places with anyone for a day, she would
trade places with Miss America because it would be a great thrill to
represent our country. She would visit Hawaii if she could, to see the
scenery and loll around on Waikiki beach.
“The World Outside” is her favorite song and The Platters are her
favorite singers. THE YEARLING tops her list of books and “Twilight
Zone”is her favo^-ite television program. Ginger’s favorite movie is
“South Pacific” with Sandra Dee and Jeff Chandler being her favorite
stars. Her favorite foods are pizza and salads and her favorite pastime,
as with most teenagers is talking on the telephone. She had her best
time the summer of 1959. Her pet peeve are conceited people, and
people who are bossy.
If Miss L.S.H.S. could have three wishes, she would wish for (1)
World Peace (2) Happiness and (3) a “Secret.” She considers L.S.H.S.
greatest need to be a better understanding between students and
teachers.
Ginger’s future plans are uncertain as of now. Her secret desire is
to travel around the world.
Now let’s hear from Leonard Davis, Mr. L.S.H.S. He is a member
of the Hi-Y Club, and is a most popular member of the senior class.
Leonard would trade places with Sterling Moss, a champion race
driver, because “it would be fabulous to drive at such high speeds.
He would also visit Hawaii if he could. “The scenery and people there
seem to be so interesting that I would like to see them for myself.”
Leonard’s favorite song is “It’s All in the Game” and his favorite
singer is Johnny Mathis. His favorite movie is “South Pacific” and
Rock Hudson and Kim Novak are his favorite stars. ROBINSON
CARUSO tops his book list and “Twilight Zone” is his favorite tele
vision program. His favorite subject is literature (not trying to in
fluence Mrs. Gibson). His favorite foods are pizza and salads, also.
As with most boys, his favorite pastime is washing his car. He also
had his best time during the summer of 1959. (Wonder what happened
then? It must have been worth remembering.) His pet peeve is also
conceited people.
Leonard’s three wishes are (1) World Peace (2) to graduate from
college, and (3) a “secret”. (We have a lot of secrets here, don’t we?)
To graduate from college and to be an engineer are his future.
His secret ambition is to also travel around the world and to visit
out-of-the-way places.
We of the LEXHIPEP and the entire school join together to wish
these fine students much luck and happiness in all that they endeavor
to do. , _
