yrnr 1 Page 2 THE LEXHIPEP LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler Assignment: An ORIGINAL Composition. SERIOUS THOUGHTS -TALMADGE HINKLE “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:40 JU^'ouki seem ^at lHutSi love is wasted each day through neglect, simply because one cannot take time to give a helping hand to someone who is a stranger. There is no intention of seeing that particular person again, so why bother to give him time, con sideration, help, or sometimes just plain, everyday courtesies? The Lexhipep PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE STUDENTS OF LEXINGTON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL THE 1962-1963 LEXHIPEP STAFF November 9, 1962 A woman was once heard to say, “If I had only known who she was, I never would have said such a thing! But I thought she was a stranger!” Regrets can never erase an unkind act or sub stitute for a kind one. Someone has said that “Giving is living.” One can know the full meaning of living only when he exercises to the fullest extent giving. Giving courtesy and consideration to strangers enriches our hves and leaves us with an added blessing. PRAYER. Enter into our hearts, dear God, and abide there this day and for evermore. May our lives reveal our love for Thee. AMEN. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF „ ASSISTANT EDITOR LITERARY EDITOR .

The band sun- ports the school and gives more school spirit than almost any other organization. The student body has not shown much sup port for the band, however. DOUG PRITCHARD NANCY COSTNER LARRIE YOUNG _ JIMMY SNYDER CORDY EASTER LOUIE COX There have been some barriers between students and the band for quite awhile now. The band has been blamed for occurances which they had no part in, such as the loss of a football gam.e. The band’s main purpose during football season is to entertain students and to provide and stim ulate school spirit. If the stu dent could be made to realize the role of the band, I think the reiationship would be much bet ter. Students should also be made to realize that band is not an easy course; students do not take band just to get out of work and study. Hard work is required in band, too. Most of the students take band because they love music! The relationship between the band and the student body is not so discordant as it was some years ago. I t-iink the students are making a big effort to sup port the band. If all students will get together on this idea, I think our school spirit will prof it a great deal. The band can do nothing without students’ sup port; consequently, the students need the band. If everyone works for harmony within his own school, it will show in other con flicts. The band is for the stu dents. Let there be no need for harmony between the two in the future. Let the two join into one! ON THE NEED FOR LOAFING By TONY WIKE BETTY SINK and PAUL CANADY ELAINE YATES MR. D, M. HOLCOMBE MR. AND LS.H.S. V* i —SUSAN MOORE Here are two typical students in Halloween dress, October’s Mr. and Miss L.S.H.S., Carl Gray and Linda Berrier. Linda is a member of the F.T.A., Tri-Hi-Y, LEXICON, and Pep Club. She was the sponsor of the Monogram Club last year and Treasurer of the Junior Class. This year she is a Senior Superlative (Friendliest), and Homecoming Queen of 1962. Miss L.S.H.S. says, “If possible, once again I would like to a small child on Christmas morning, believing in Santa Claus.” “Moon River” tops Linda’s hit parade with Ray Charles being her favorite vocalist. Her favorite actor and actress are Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, and her most enjoyable movie was Ernest Hemingway’s “Adventures of a Young Man.” The best book she has read is A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, and her favorite foods are French fries, her mother’s German chocolate cakes, aspara gus, and steak. Miss L.S.H.S.’s pet peeve is students who don’t yell at ball games and insincere people. Her favorite sport is football (trying to understand what the players are doing), and her favorite subject is Literature 4. Linda’s most embarrassing moments occurred, “During fifth period every day, because Mr. Clark usually finds out something I have done and tells the class.” Her best time is “This, my senior year!” In this age of detailed organ ization, no one has any time of his own. One never has the chance to just plain loaf. He can make time,, however, merely by shirking his duties and by pro crastination. Certainly everyone should recognize the need to ac quire knowledge each day of his life; to let the mind rust from idleness is sinful. But work and activity can be carried too far. We do so much nowadays that we do not have time to sit down and evaluate our accomplish ments and failures. It is true that some people loaf too much when they have work to do; but think of the acutely nervous per son who works furiously in order to stay ahead in the calibre of work done. Even if this type of person has a minute of spare time, he will spend it worrying. No one can deny the need for a sense of obiligation and duty in life; everyone has responsibili ties to his church, hs country, and his fellow man. It is our “do more—do better” attitude which drives people to the point where they do not do at all. If granted three wishes, she would choose: (1) To always have t’ne world free from fear of nuclear attack, (2) That God could be satisfied with the situation the world is in, and (3) That Mr. Khrush chev would become friends with the United States. Now, let’s switch over to Mr. L.S.H.S., Carl Gray. Carl is Presi dent of the Hi-Y, Parliamentarian of the Student Council, President of the Senior Class, a member of the football team, and a Senior Superlative (Best Personality). If possible, Carl would trade places with President Kennedy to realize more fully the problems which confront our nation. Mr. L.S.H.S.’s favorite song is also “Moon River”, and his favorite vocalist is Ray Charles. His favorite actor and actress are Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor, and his most enjoyble movie wias “One-Eyed Jacks.” The best book he has read is 'THE ROBE, and his favorite foods are steak and French fries. Carl’s pet peeve is hypocrites, and his favorite sport is football. His favorite subject is English. Mr. L.S.H.S.’s most embarrassing moment was when “I locked some people in the city pool.” The best time he has had was this summer at UNC. ■Jf ■granted three wishes, he would choose: (1) Peace on earth, (2) Good will toward men, and (3) A successful year of athletics for L.S.H.S.
