"PAGE TWO THE LINCOLN ECHO JUNE, 1964 Editorials SENIOR CLASS WILL senior's, are you prepared for life? or do you have any objectives and aims in life? Life has no meaning without some type of objective. Seniors, are you prepared for the things that life has in store for you? Tjie time has come when you must think seriously about this. There is no more putting it off until the next day, month or year. You must think about it njw in order that you will be prepared for life. Have you really decided about what you want to do in life? Do you want to do something that you don’t like or do you want to work at a job where you will be happy and enjoy it. If you do not seek the right choice now, you will be doing something that you don’t like and who likes to do something that he doesn’t like to do. Do you want to make your parents proud of you or do you want to let them down now ^ter all they have done for you? You don’t have to be a principal, teacher, or a doctor, but please be something that is respected by society. Are you prepared to get along with people in life? Are you sure? Better ask yourself again. Are you ready to accomplish the aims and objectives you have set Have you prepared to meet the unpleasant experiences and hard ships of life? There surely will be some because life isn’t de signed for things to be pleasant all the time. Have you prepared for the future by yourself or have you prepared for it with your buddy or classmate always in the life to decide together. Have you really thought that you will have to take the bitter with tine sweet in order to get along in life and make it as happy as possible? Have you asked yourself these questions? Did you get an an swer, or could you answer them? You will have to answer them in order to be prepared for life. As you move along in life and things get rough and hard, put yourself in God’s hands, He’ll help you because He under stands. Roland Rogers, President Student Council Open Letters To The Seniors Dear Senior Class, the time has come when you must leave us and venture out into life. Al ways remember, WE STRIVE FOR THE HIGHER THINGS IN LIFE Let thy goal be, WHEN THOli SEEKEST, THOU SHALL FIND. Thinking over the last 12 years of your high school schooling, you will say, ‘’Oh boy, we finally made it,” but all of those times weren’t exactly bad, now were they? (Come on now and tell the truth). Remember the first Spring Ball and your first Prom and the Sport activi ties. Well all of these are all over for your high school career. Now is the time to plan for the future, are you ready? Now is the time to be ready. All of the knowle^lge that you have obtained in school will be put to use as you venture out into life. Life on the outside will be harder, if you will not apply your knowl edge. So use what you know and don’t be afraid to apply your self. Seek for the harder things in life, rather than the easy and Tm sure that you will not regret it. Good-luck and may (God bless you. Your friend, Fred Baldwin Hail To All The Seniors Of 1964 Dear senior class, the time has come when we must say good-bye. May fame and fortune be your guide as success comes through to you. On the night when you receive your diploma, be proud of yourself and not ashamed. For you have worked hard for that piece of success. Be glad that night and be able to be glad that next morning. Don’t be one of those that re ceive their diploma that night with anxiety and hate to face the world the next day because they know they don’t deserve it. It has been fun knowing the majority of you, especially the fellows that participated in the sports of this school. You fel lows that have given up sweat and tears for the up-building of the Tiger Gridiron know respon sible feats are very important. Out in that life that you are go ing to face there are many times when you are going to have to show the man side of yourself. Like the times when we have gone to the playoffs and cham pionships you had to show the real man that was within you. The times when we lost blood and tears to show our strengths and love for the school we fought for so earnestly were times of great pride and joy. I must say, ‘‘by you leaving a part of me and others will leave with you.” When you leave this school and your old buddies, go down life’s road with pride. When you get in trouble take God, the Almighty, as your guide. Devon Bynum Dear Senior Class , . . As many of us know the school year is fast approaching its end. Who knows this more than you, because as Seniors, you will have more to look forward to than the other students. You are the ones who will be leaving school, some will never return. I hope that you will be suc cessful in anything you do, and T hope that you will always re member us as your friends, and fellow classmates. We’ll always remember you, because you rep resent your class in nearly all the students activities. You are well represented on the football team, the basketball team, the track team, the newspaper staff, the dramatics club, the projec tors club, the Student Council, the NHA, and the NFA. The Fu ture Teachers of America Club, the business club, the Chorus and other activities. Knowing that you won’t be holding these posi tions make us realize more that you are leaving us shortly. What ever you feel you want to do make sure that you do it with pride and always take God as your guide. Remember we will miss you and long remember you. Annie R. Riggsbee P.S. Mary B., Eva F., Linda A., and Shirley P., I, personally, will be glad to see you go. (SMILE). Good-bye Work . . . Well the day is almost here when we can tearfully put away our school books and say good bye to our beloved teachers. This is the time of year that no one likes. We will all miss doing homework every night. But, then, when we come right down to it we didn’t have too much homework to do anyway; just a few chapters to read in various subjects and about fifty or six ty problems to work in other sub jects. That was what we enjoy ed most about school. We will hardly be able to wait until Sep tember when we can return to school and all of the back-break ing work that goes along with it. The thing that we will hate most about summer vacation is rest. We know that rest is good for us, but during the summer we get tired of resting. We don’t like to stay in bed any later than 11:00 a.m. but there is nothing else to do, so why not stay until 1:00 p.m.? So maybe I’ll get up early one day (10:00 a.m.) What will I do with that day? I’ll go swimming; but, who can swim? I’ll be idle all day, that’s the perfect thing. Now I don’t like to just do nothing, but nothing is what I will do. Three whole months of doing nothing. I’ll go mad. I’ll go crazy, but I will not do anything. There are only sad words that will express my feel ines about summer-time , . . WHOOPEE!!!!!

Flash (59), Shifty (67), Jet (53), Tobe (45), Pete •55), and The Bomber (50). I. To the principal and teach ers we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated pleasant memories of our four years together and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achieve ments that our future may con tain. And to all of you our very kindest regard and our sincere gratitude for your unfailing kind ness and advice. II. We the Senior Class give and bequeath to the Junior Class, our good luck, and senior privil eges. We also leave them our self-satisfaction, our importance, and our wisdom, all of which we pass in enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present in ertia. III. To our good friends, the Sophomore Class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors, IV. To the Freshmen who will be Sophomores, we have left you nothing, because by the time your self - evaluation has attained height nothing in our possession would be regarded by you as be ing worthy. V. To the young and unsophis ticated Freshman we leave a map of tlie school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in every body’s way looking for their classrooms. Dedicated To The Seniors From Juniors The saddest word in any tongue. Is “Farewell”; so now Dear Seniors, We’re saying it to you, With a sincere undelight. Your presence honored us; our class. So soon to be no more We are unhappy that, you must go, Forever from these doors. But, lirriiiy planted in our minds. We know you’re ready for a change; Though we will be inconsolable At losing you this year. We know that, your will to do your best, and take your work with a zest And carry along without being a pest. We can only tell you of our re grets. By Mamie Fearrington Dear Seniors I know that you’re glad that you’ve passed your last year of High School, but I know also that you’re not giving up your career for just working anywhere and doing anything, when you can make something of yourself by going to college to get other traits of being a smart respect able person. While venturing out in life, think of yourself as of being re spectful to yourself as to others. Having respect can take you a long way in life. And think of your followers who are trying to succeed as you have done through High School. We Juniors are following your footsteps, so make the best as well as the good of yourself, so that we can do the same. And if you are worried about your financial ability to attend college, 1 e t others know about it and then maybe they can help you. There’s nothing any better than trying to make a career for yourself successfully. Then we, the juniors will know that if you can succeed to the highest, then we can. But just be careful of what you do, so that you won’t give the school a bad name, but a good name. So, to you beloved Seniors of 1964, think of us as being your friends always and I hppe that you’ve enjoyed working with and around us, the Juniors, as much as we have enjoyed being around and with you from the first day we became acquainted with each other. S’n'^erolv yours, Ola Mae Gattis
