"Two roads diverged in the 'floods, and 1

~ . I took the one less traveled by, and that

has made all the difference."We, the Class of '69, have traveled one

road . . the road of our high school years;

the road of cur youthful fun and frolic; the

road which will end with a long walk downan aisle- • graduation.

As we step from this road onto a new

and strange road, the road of the future, wehesitate. We put one foot forward into the

dark and unknown years ahead, yet we

reach back for the familiar faces and thingswe have known through past years.

OUf hearts are light and happy for the

task we have accomplished; our hearts aresad with the loss of friendly faces and

happy days. OUf minds are filled with the

knowledge of the past; our minds grope foreducation ahead. Our eyes search for truth

and understanding that comes with maturi-

ty; our eyes are misty as we remember the

sweet innocence of childhood.

What Lasseter has mean t to us, we'11

never be able to say. It's been a long time

since we walked down the halls of a

strange, new school in excitement and awe.

Like one great entity, the Class of '69 has

grown in knowledge and experience, Our

lives are enriched by the wonderful friends

we've made; our futures are more stable by

the education we've gained; and never iri

our lives will we again meet. adults whom

w~ wil l respect, admire, and love as muchas the faculty of Lasseter High School.

As we leave, we carry a large part of

Lasseter with LIS. And we hope that a smallpart of the Class of '69 will always remain

at our school. We are graduates of H.S.Lasseter High School; that has made, and

will make, all the difference. NOW

Lefter 'From' Editor?De ar L a ss et er ,

It's not often that you see an editorial page

with a letter from the editor. But here's one any-

way.

TIn:] is my opportunity to expre~:s my deepest

and must sincere appreciation to all students and

faculty for the great support and cooperation

you 've given me and the .LANTERN this year. The

N e e d e d : P r o b l e m · S o l v e r sGraduation brings rejoicing, pride i.n achieve-

ment, and a few sentimental tears. With it comes

the sober ing realization that graduates face new

and challenging tasks. Are they ready for them?

Our society needs "problem solvers." In an age

F ill ed w it h a multiplicity of problems and the rich

potential for their solution, we have an abundance

of critics, complainers, gripers, and whiners. The

need is for persons capable of seeing the problems

whole, willing to Lackie them with unselfish zeal,

and equipped with skills in problem-solving.

Our world needs men and women whose belief

ill democratic principles enables them to live the

ideals they profess. Multitudes give lip service to a

belief in the value of every human being, in major-

ity rule, and change through the ballot and legis-

latinn. However, when personal matters are at

s take, they forsake their convict ions.

Our world needs educated men and women of

good will. Our perplexed and confused society

needs individuals who accept and understand

themselves and can, therefore, accept others with

love and understanding.

May the graduates of 1969 meet the challenge.

T o S u c c e e d B e B e s t S e l fby Allen Sanders

Editors Note' Mr, Allen Sanders Is

director of ednuesions at Wesleyan

College. A native 0 " llrookwood,

Alabama, he wa~ graduated cum

laude from Birmingham Southern

College with an A.B. in psychology

and went on to earn a B.D. at

Emory University'S' Clln~r School

of Theulugy. Because he has been a

success in many fields, Mr . Sande rs

writes and author ita tive editor ia l on

Mr. ADen Sanders the subject.

Though it. is possible- to live without the conscious awareness of it, to'

be human is to yearn for success. Psychologists agree this desire to

succeed is basic to human nature though all do not agree to the defini-

t ions of its manifestations.

Society defines success in many ways. The person who has great

wealth is a "success." One who gains fame as an author, or musician, 01

politician, or actor, or who ts f. leader III i nnumerable other areas of life

is thought to be "successful." It is generally believed that the college

graduate has greater opportunity to be a "success" than the non-grad-

uatc, thu;! in a sense equating success with degree of education.

Is the obverse then true that the less of wealth fame. education, etc.

one has, the less he is "successful"? The answer has [0 be a resounding

negative! The ultimate criterion, the ultimate definition of success must

concern itself with (I) nat ive inborn abilities, (2) opportunities for

developing those abilities, and (3) the personal response and involve-ment in the oppormnities for self -growth.

No matter the wealth or position or education, the person who

fulfills his best self is a success: 111,:who docs less is a fa ilur e. The great

challenge is to be the best that you can be. This is success

Honesty: Best Policy YetFinding herself almost completely out of honesty, a young girl

stopped in at a reliable store just the uthcr day to replenish her stock.

"I'd like a half-pound of good old-fashioned honesty ," she told the

clerk who asked to help her.

"I'm sony, miss," the clerk said, "but we haven't gotten any hon-

esty in for at least six months. We threw cut the last of it just the other

week. It was all dusty and shopworn, not worth keeping. Iear the

manufacture r's thinking of discontinuing the whole line."

"But why?" she asked.

"There's just no demand for it these days. Ith, sure, a tcw old ladies

come in and ask for it, And, once in a while, some young person like

you 'wants it. But that's all. what's honesty good for, anyway?"

"Well, it keeps a per son f rom telling tie s."

"Hal That's funny.l guess nobody could get along nowadays with-

out lying at least once a day. People don't care about knowing the truth

any more. Why, our best-selling book is "Ten Ways to Better Lying,"

"Honesty a lso prevents cheating," she continued firmly

"That's another joke. You should see the gadgets we sell for cheating

in school,."

Just then a .crowd of students pushed their way into the store,

greeting the girL

"Hey, are those friends of yours? What do they want?"

"They're looking for honesty, too."

"Gosh! I didn' t know it. was so popular with you kids!"

The girl was no longer listening. "Sor ry, people . they' re all out," she

called and led her friends out the door.

P layers Stage'Monkey T ria l'

by Connie Colhard

'Inherit the Wind'

Starring Dennis Sweeney and

Mrs, Dee Ann Earle"Doesn't anyone even have the right to think

anymore'?" This is the basic issue of the famous

"monkey trial," as depicted in "Inherit the Wind,"

a play staged by the Macon Lit tl e Theat re

The pJay takes place" not too long ago" in a

small town located in the so-called Bible, Belt.

Bertram Cates (Dennis Sweeney) stands trial for

"the right to think" after reading to his school

class from Darwin's book of evolution, "Origin of

Species." Rachel Brown (Lasseter's own Mrs. Dee

Ann Ear le ), Bertram' s swee thear t, isn't sure wheth-

er Bertram is light or wrong in his actions, but her

fa the r, the town minister and a firm believer in thc

story of the creation, only complicates matters.

Two lawyers, Mathew Harrison Br~dy (Louis

Chanin), A righteous defender of the Christian be-

liefs, and Henry Drummond (Robert E. Barfield),

a witty man with enough courage to defend Bert-

ram, are summoned for the "monkey trial."

This exciting and witty drama not only inter-

ests the audience, but challenges their minds. Bit-

ing satire is Intermingled with gentle humor, which

makes fol' IImost exc iting and suspense ful contest

between religion and science.

Dianne Smith Potts, II Lasseter student, por-

trayed one of the townspeople.

"Inherit the Wind," by Jerome Lawrence and

Robert E. Lee, is, above all, a lesson about

people-some people aren't what they seem to be,

and sooner, OJ later their true selves will show

through

Put Off Putting Off"Don't put off tm tomorrow what yuu can put

off today," someone once remarked humorously

about procrastination.

But procrastination is no laughing matter to

many students, especially during the summer

months. We make good plans, but the summer

seems to stretch out so l-o-n-g and endless ahead of

us. After all, there's always next week ...

And then, suddenly, next week school is start-

ing, before we've accomplished a thing. There .is no

emptier feeling than that of having wasted a sum-

Only one sure cure for procrastination has ever

been dtscovc rcc . I ts Harne is self-discipline, A mark

of maturity, it is difficult to obtain and even hard-

er to hold onto. But discipline alone can set us

free.By the way, did someone ask what procrastina-

tion is? I'll tell yuu tomorrow. Licla Drinnon

Mark Smith's third annual junior-senior dance, held May 24 in Lasse-

A ceremonial dragon, covering almost an entire wall of the auditor-

luminous Buddha, murals depicting Chinese scenes, and many lanterns,

fans, gei sha gir ls, and wind chimes.

A widely-known band from Hawkinsville, the Tip Tops, furnished

the music for the dance.
