Page Four HIGH LIFE -SepL 30, 1961 Can^t B.U.L.L. America You can’t see America. It’s not hotdogs. They eat hot- dogs in Russia too. It’s not baseball, either, despite what they say in the World War II movies. They also play base ball in North Vietnam. But they haven’t got America. You can’t see America, because America is a feeling ... To be an American is to be Amlerica. For America is the total of all the strivings for justice and freedom by every single Ameri can. In America, to be is to do. The things we believe is mots sincerely are the things we cannot see. And you can’t see America. Beatles Better Than Ever (BOOKIES UNDERGROUND. / LITERATURE LEAGUE) HO YAH FRIENDS AND SOPHS! Due,to an illness we barely got this article to the printing pres; on time. We had the Egyptian Flu which we caught from our mummies ATTENTION SOPHOMORES ! For your convenience we ar printing this badge in the paper Please cut it out and wear it. We are sure your upperclassmen will gladly tell you where to go! Speaking of sophomores, we would like to welcome all you 10th graders from Kiser, Lindley, Page and Grimsley. And as always, with every new batch of sophomores there comes a new batch of bril liant remarks. Here are several comments overheard by our man on the scene; “I just can’t find the Elevator!”—“Well, that senior told me yesterday that today is white sock day and I can’t understand why nobody else is wearing them.”—“I'm sure these pencils will practically sell themselves. They’re so neat!”—“Where’s the bike rack?”—Flash!—There is a new album out by the Turtles entitled “Songs Our Mother Tortoise.” The other day a sign appeared in the High Life Room reading: “Anyone using obscene language in High Life will be bared by the staff.” Not wanting to be “bared” by the staff this column is one-half its original length. OFFER! Steve Smith announced today that he .will teach ANYONE to Tango for $2. As Steve said, it takes $2 to Tango. And now, as a closing word we’d like to say: albatross. I AM A SOPHOMORE PLEASE HELP ME! The Beatles with their new 45 rpm release “Revolution” and “Hey Jude” have continued to surpass the efforts of more re cent groups. When the Beatles first appeared on the musical scene several years ago they were thought by many to be a bizarre group who were merely a fad which would quickly end. Far from this they are now writing significant pieces such as the so cial commentary in “Revolution” on people with “minds that hate.” They are expanding with the times and experimenting with new music forms and new lyrics to accompany them. Instead of pass ing into obscurity, the Beatles have a large following, even in the circles where the ages are over thirty-five. When the Beatles’ names are mentioned there are no long piercing shrieks as in the first days of Beatlemania, but most NEHRU COLLARED PANTZ-SUiT ...

Many “experts” on the present-day music and the Beatles like to say that the Beatles’ ma jor turning point was with the album “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. In that album the Beatles demonstrated their ability to write more than love songs, at which they were more than capable. Paul McCartney and John Len non, the main writers for the group, have become international ly known for both their lyrics and their music. Many well-known singers and orchestras have in cluded many of the McCartney- Lennon tunes into their reper toires. The Beatles have expanded and their music is the better for it. With their wide influnece they can be a vital force in changing things. Music has always been a universal language and the Bea tles are very fluent in that tongue. If in the future, lyrics and melo dies which concern the present situations as in “Revolutions”, they may be able to shape opin ion favorable to peace. NEW POSTERS Continued from Page Two Another popular type of poster is the star poster. Who wouldn’t like a life-size or larger picture of Paul Newman or Dustin Hoffman or on the other side of the coin, Raquel Welch of Bridgette Bar- dot? Psychedelic idol posters of music stars such as the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, and the Mothers of Invention dec orate many teens’ rooms.

One favorite shows President Johnson and 'Vice President Humphrey as the “Dy namic Due.” However, one of the most popular is found in your local Army recruiter’s office. It’s simply the familiar poster of Un cle Sam pointing his finger and .saying, “I want you.” Ironically nowadays it’s a protest poster and against the draft.
