To The Herald Edjtor.
Dear Sir:
| For about a month I have waited
for results of the Taylor countj
grand jury's order to the city and
county officials concerning Sunday
business in the county. In vain
have I waited as these people car
ry on their trade on Sunday as on
Saturday or Monday. Most of these
people are parents and in several
Instances their children are helping
their parents to desecrate the
Lord's Holy Sabbath.
This is a quadruple sin since It
breaks the law, breaks the Sab
bath, breaks the Christian mother's
heart and breaks the good morals
of innocent childhood. What a love
ly atmosphere to rear children
in (!) In contrast my own child
hood, youthful, and young adult
hood environment was practically
ideal — everybody poverty-stricken
but heaven-bent.
The children of this community
deserve the best in everything.They
themselves are practically perfect
but due to environment, have not
had a chance. Their parents,
neighbors, leaders are responsible.
The home, he church, the school,
the public are character-building
institutions and are absolutely ac
countable for childhood. We are all
guilty to the extent that we have
not raised our voice in protest. I
have mentionad the vice to three
guilty parents but to no effect. I
have suggested to members of two
community churches that the
Christian membership make a re
quest for better morals. We
not only indulge in immoral prac
tices in the presence of childhood,
but we do nothing to lead a child
in the way he should go. Only a
few children attend Sunday school
fewer attend preaching, and NONE

Junior-Senior
Prom-Dance
It was Friday^ night about nine-
thirty when it began and Saturday
morning about three-thirty when it
ended. It was the annual affair at
R. H. S., the Junior-Senior Prom-
Dance!
Everything was beautiful at the
party—the decorations, the food
and last but not least the girls!
Mrs. Ricks and her Juniors did a
wonderful job and words cannot be
found toexpres s the Seniors'
gratitude.
The party started off with ten
ten-minute proms. After the fifth
everyone was served plates. On
these plateswas the most delicious
fod imaginable. After the proms
"Paul Jones" was started and was
not stopped until three-thirty.
At three-thirty or thereabouts, ev
eryone left for heme tire.' r.r.d
sleepy but happy. And Saturday
morning about ten o'clock Mr.
Aultman's clerks could have easily
doubled for Lady Macbeth in her
sleep-walking scene.

Here's to old R. H. S.
The very best school on earth,
It mater not what one. might say
She has immeasured worth.
And here's to the class of '42
There's never been a class like ours
For we smile always when the sun
shines
And we always smile when it
showers.
I'm sure this class of '42
Though far we may chance to roam
We'll always love our Alma Mater
The school of “Home Sweet Home"
For eleven years we've labored
Within the walls of R. H. S.
And tho at times ‘twas very hard
We always did our best.
In a few more weeks we'll finish

With our colors flying high,
In truth we mean determination
To do the thing or die.

Keeping Your
Wit Sharp
We are devoting out entire space
this week to the sharpening of
your wits, gentle reader! These
questions and problems for your
solution will not measure up to
the “Information Please” standard
but nevertheless, “as well as not
withstanding,” we believe the old
think tank" will get all the rust
their daughters are. (Take note-
Julian).
2. We've been informed that
when the legislature meets next
time, they are going to pass a new
law forbidding students the holding
of hands during school hours.
Hugh, watch your step. This has
gone too far.
3. Wanted: A letter from Carolyn
to Bootie saying she loves him. (P.
S. Don't write him Carolyn 'cause
we like Bootied too much to have
him pass out.)
4. We wonder where a small part
of the Seniors were headed Thurs
day p. m., but were warned by a
white suit.
5. It seems like everybody had
(heir “baby” Friday night. (At
least that's what Bootie said).
7. The Seniors next week, will be
eating steak dinners. (A certain
Freshman, Doris by name, Just
couldn't be responsible).
8. We wonder why David's face
was so red Friday night!

the
Memories
As a Senior, I have a right and a
reason to lament over the fact that
my last, grand and glorious year
will soon come to an end (I hope)-
But as I look back over my school
days a lump comes up in my throait
and it takes a great deal of will
power not to just burst right into
tears! t
I still remember that first year
and how every morning when Mr.
Joiner would walk into the room
we would all stand up and sing
“good morning to you" then Mrs.
Ogburn would invariably whisper
something to him and look at us
with a little gleam in her eye. We
later found out she had told him
that we were just about the worst
class of sppllers she had ever seen.
Either that first grade has
made a great deal of improvement
or the other first graders of that
year spelled just a little bit worse,
for as Seniors we have made the
Best record, as a Senior Class, of
any other school in the state!
Then as Seniors, one volume
couldn't hold the stories of our lit
tle escapades, we really haven't
been very exceptional intellectually
but when it comes to loving one
another we are very exceptional.
Aside from loving one another
we find that our teachers are go
ing to be pretty hard to part from
after living with them all these 11
years;and I arR sure that if they
love us half as much, they kinda'
hate to see us go too!

"Adam and Fallen Man,” is the
subject of the Lesson-Sermon
which will be read in Churches of
Christ Scientists, throughout the
world next Sunday.
The olden Text: "O Israel, return
unto the Lord thy God; for thou
hast fallen by thine iniquity”
(Hosea 14:1)
Among the citations which com
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “So God
created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them”
(Gen. 1:27).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian S c i e n c e textbook,
“Scienceand Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Ed
dy: “Whatever indicates the fall of
man or the opposite of God or
God's absence is the Adam-dream,
which is neither mind nor man, for
it is not begotten of the Father.”
"God is the creator ofman, and,
the divine principle of man re
maining perfect, the divine idea or
reflection, man, remains perfect."
(p. 282, 470)

professed Christians organize a
cortimunity prayer-meeting on a
night agreed upon by the com

places agreed upon by the com

A person's interest in and at
tendance at prayer-meeting are the
sure exponents of his spiritual
status.
It is said that “an apple a day
will keep the doctor away”. "And
an onion a day will keep the
neighbors away.” So the Christian

GEMS OF THOUGHT—BEAUTY
for Reynolds and Bobby Wheeler,
who pitched a no-hitter against
Forsyth, pitched for Lanier. Both
pitched good games. Both teams
were held scoreless until the 7th
inning when on several errors and
hit Lanier scored two runs. In
the 8th Reynolds scored two runs
and Lanier scored one. In the 9th
Lanier scored two more runs on
several errors and a hit.
The final score in an exciting
game was 5 to 2 in favor of La
