‘'Since what I do daily is of
eternal significance for good or
ill, I have the responsibility to
live honorably.”
With these words taken from
the Honor Code, Greg Low, pre
sident . of the Student Organi
zation, began sophomore orien
tation December 3, during acti
vity period in the Senior High
(auditorium.
Six prominant seniors explained
the purpose of the Honor Code to
the sophomores.
Gloria McDonald stressed the
importance of truthfulness. She
summarized the main thought of
her explanation by saying, “When
you lie, you deceive only your
self.”
The Importance of being con
structive was explained by Dwight
Thomas. As stated in the Honor
Code, “When I am destructive,
I dishonor the fruits of others’
knowledge.”
According to Greg Low, being
charitable i s a very important
portion of the Honor Code. He
used a blown-up example of what
powers gossip holds. His example
showed how the powers of gossip
could even destroy a nation.
Bebo White discussed how the
use of profanity reflects back on
the user. He told the students that
profanity is the way a small mind
tries to express itself forcefully.
“I respect others’ property”
quoted CarolettaJordan. She went
on to explain that when a person
steals, he admits that he is not
strong enough to secure some
thing by his own labor.
Personal Honor Code cards will
be available to all sophomores
at the beginning of second sem
ester. The lapse of time be
tween Orientation Day and the
distribution of the cards is to
give the students time to think
about what signing this pledge
really means.

I “Silent Night”
A broken organ inspired
“Silent Night.” So that the
people of the parish might
have a song at Christmas,
Father Joseph Mohr, an Aus
trian priest, wrote the carol,
and his organist composed the
music. It was sung on Christ-
I'mas Eve, 1818, to guitar ac
companiment.
