lege and continued to achieve the Master of Arts Degree at Oolumbiia
University. He resides at 208 Chestnut Street with his wife and
two sons.
Since Mr. Andrews took over the supervision of the Lexington
schools, much progress has been made. The school system has grown
tremendausly as the need for schools has increased. Mr. Andrews
has seen the constructiou of a senior high school, Eanes School,
Pickett School, South Lexington Elementary, and Dunbar High School
among the many building projects. As the numbers of schools and
students have increased, the number of teachers has increased also.
Todiay Mr. Andrews has under his direction eleven schools, 5,178
students, and 194 teachers.
Although his job requires endless time and effort, Mr. Andrews
is always ready and willing to take part in outside school activities.
He is an ardent supporter of L.S.H.S. athletics. His genuine interest
in our school is exemplified by his presence at our numerous ac
tivities. The LEXHIPEP extends their congratulations to Mr. An

On Sunday, October 14, 1962,
the Student Council of LSHS sent
Thompson Miller, Sherry Wilson,
Peter Steinmuller, Doug Pritch
ard, and Mrs. Hussey to the 36th
annual North Carolina Student
Council Congress held at Myers
Park High School in Charlotte.
The delegates met at Myers
Park to register and meet their
host families. After getting sit
uated and becoming acquainted
with the families, the delegates
returned to Myers Park High
School for a snack supper and
the First General Session. At
this session we were introduced
to the general theme which was
“REACH.” A presentation of the
state student council officers fol
lowed and keynote address ended
the session. The delegates retired
to their homes, eagerly await
ing the first full day of the Con
gress.
Monday, October 15, marked
the first full day of the Con
gress. The delegates were quite
busy attending meetings all
morning and afternoon.
That evening they were honor
ed by .j banquet and dance. The
banquet was coinph ce Vvith gift
bottles of cologne and keychains.
The Rivieras, a great dance
band, played for the dance. Af
ter the dance, all retired for the
night.
Tuesday marked the end of
the Congress which closed with
a friendship circle and the sing
ing of “Auld Lang Syne.” The
Congress proved most beneficial
and it is hoped that the incorpo
rated ideas can be carried out
and helpful to everyone.
The Cuban
Lesson
At last the United States has
openly admjjtted that Russia
has been breathing down our
necks with missle bases in Cuba.
We have stood up to a serious
threat to our lives and our pres
tige. President Kennedy has led
the United States to meet the
challenge.
There is a personal lesson to
be derived from this national one.
If something is wrong, correct it.
If something needs improvement,
improve it. It is up to us — stu
dents, citizens, human beings.
Things do not take care of them
selves while we ignore them. By
facing a problem and meeting it
head on, we will treat it fairly
and solve the problem intelle-
gently.
History is full of crises and de
cisions of wise leaders in
remedying them,. However, never
before has nuclear war been the
ultimate outcome. Decisions to
meet a threat such as this are
much more difficult than small
everyday decisions* Neverthe
less, the Cuban problem has been
met honestly. Surely we can
strive to meet our petty prob
lems and hardships honestly, too.
