THE EDITOR SPEAKS
Preparing Lessons
What are lessons to you? Do
you prepare your lessons?
W'hether one realizes it or not
this is the most important phase
of one’s school life. Many stu
dents do not seem to think about
this or realize how important it
is to prepare lessons. School
is ending rapidly and promotion
time is around the corner. There
will be a great number of moans
and groans among students, for
they will be left behind. Will
you be among those? Of course
you hope you will not be among
that number; perhaps you want
a solution. “Prepare your les
sons and bring them in on time.”
Put this solution in action, and
it will be certain that there will
be less moans and groans among
students. There will be less con
fusion among students and teach
ers. “Just prepare your lessons. ’
SENIOR TERM PAPER
TIME AGAIN
Once again the year is draw
ing closer and closer to its end,
and once again the Seniors of
Lincoln Hi. are beginning to
complain of headaches. Why?
■Well—its term paper time again.
Some seniors are even complain
ing with “heart trouble” and
“low blood,” because if those
papers aren’t passed in, there
will be a heartbreaking time.
Well now whenever you see
a senior walking around scratch
ing his head and seemingly low
in spirit, you will know that his
mind is on his term paper for
Sociology or English TV.
“Spinning Around”
Well, Well, who’s been play
ing the juke box? I. Alston's
theme song will be “Cry” if
she doesn’t make up her mind
between T. Bynum, R. Winston,
and G. Sanford. Why is E. L.
Caldwell always singing "Un
forgettable” around E. Cole?
Everytime I see W. Burnette he’s
singing “Give Me A Kiss To
Build A Dream On.” “Wheels
of Fortune” are spinning” for
M. Fearrington and E. Powell
while J. Clark is saying "Got
You On My Mind.”
HOW TO USE A
NEWSPAPER
By Velma Bell
If a newspaper stacks up all
facts in news stories, is it ful
filling its responsibility to its
readers? Just to print news will
not suffice for a modern news
paper, Newspapers must tell the
meaning of the news. The bare
news event can be so misleading
as to be false.
I think the balancing fact is
more important than hasty head
lines.
We sometimes read the news
paper for the sensation; that
should not be the only reason for
reading the paper. We can learn
all about the world's happenings
and things that surround us as
American citizens.
4-H Club Members Start
Strawberry Chain
Four of the boys from Lincoln
High School received 300 straw
berry plants each. We went to
Chapel Hill High School where
Mr. H. A. Niswonger gave a
demostration on how to plant
them. Each of the club members
will follow recommended cul
ture practices and next year will
give another club member 300
plants from the runner and in
that manner start a strawberry
chain. The four members from
Lincoln High School were Wil-
I iam Cotton, James Hogan, Her-
i man Burchett and Wallace Per-
I ry. Huggins Hardware Company
; sponsored the strawberry pro-
I ject. The project will be under
the supervision of Mr. Burt,
County farm agent.

DOES HIGH SCHOOL
COUNT WITH YOU?
By lola Baldwin
How would you answer this
question? It reminds me of a
little story I read once of a
rooster scratching in the earth
for worms. As he was scratch
ing he dug up a diamond, but
because of the lack of know
ledge of its value, he kicked
the diamond aside and continued
do look for worms.
This story makes me wonder
if we, as students, realize the i
significance of the many valu
able things that surround us ^
daily. I refer to the display in
the show-case They are put ;
there to give evidence of out
standing team work by the athe- '■
letes in our school. Also the
well-made clothes by the girls
who are interested in home eco
nomics show that our girls can
master the skills of dress-mak
ing if they are interested.
But one display, and a very
interesting one, that has its pur- ‘
pose to challenge the serious re
flection of all the students in
the school, is the series of post
ers—I would call them charac
ter-building posters— that hang I
opposite the principal’s office in
the hall, should attract more
attention from the students.
The three that I remember
most of all are as follows; The
one that teaches when voting
for a student for an office to
vote for him because of his abil
ity and not because you like
him or because he is your best
friend. Another is the one that
shows that it is a good idea to i
stop trying to use psychology j
on the teachers in class and be- ;
gin studying. And still another
was that of a small boy who is
making very poor grades in
school, but when he becomes
older he will “invent lies” to
tell his parents regarding his
poor grades.
All these and the many others
should go a long way in help
ing us to find the real values in
high school life. We should not
be like the rooster, so intent
upon finding the worms that he
kicks the diamond aside never
seeing it. We should take time
out to see these many displays
and let ' -^m teach us the deep
er values tii..,! we need to get
in high school.
