.X , L F. 5 '.:,.'1L lElDI'll'0RllAlLS THIS RANKING BUSINESS Nearly every student has his own idea on the subject of rank, some of these ideas are rather odd. Too few students try to make the Honor Roll. They think, after all, you get your name puton a piece of paper and that's all there is to it. They're wrong. There's a lot more to it, being an hon- or student counts with a teacher when he wishes to entrust a student with some work, colleges and prep schools want honor students rather than C students, an honor student has a love- ly sense of satisfaction and needn't worry when exams come, an honor student feels free to enter more school activities. Some few even think getting on the Honor Roll is proving yourself a sis- sy. It isn't. It's proving you have brains and ability. It's a sad thing to see a girl or boy in an effort to prove to a small group of his fellow students that he is too worldly-wise to care about ranks and honor rolls, bring a first-rate ability and mentality down to the awful lev- el of mediocrity. Then, too many are content with getting by. They are lazy, indiffer- ent. They don't realize they must pre- pare for the future now. Others take five years to do four years of High School work. They waste one of the best years of their lives. How can we wake them up? Should we relax the Honor Roll standard? No! But we could make the prospect more alluring by giving spec- ial privileges to A students, giving cer- tificates for rank, or perhaps by form- ing an Honor Roll club to make the Honor Roll a school activity. Students could be graduated with distinction , or have it listed after their names as any other school activity in the Pine Needles. A special assembly could be held to present honor students with certificates as is done to present ath- letic certificates. At any rate, some- thing surely could be done! Students, how do you suppose Abe Lincoln became a great man if not by study? Washington? Look about youg what were the high school records of the successful men and women-doc- tors, lawyers, bridge builders, college presidents If they were not honor students, rest assured they were more than willing to work and to aim, at least, at honor rank. iWhy don't we wake up- -M. A,- MRS. BROWN This school and community were shocked by the untimely passing of Mrs. Glenroy Brown in January. Her life was one filled with activity for the well being of her home town. An accomplished musician, she spec- ialized with the violin, and many stu- dents and young people of the town were her pupils. In addition to her pri- vate classes, she found time to organ- ize and direct student orchestras which proved a very important part of the affairs of student life. She was al- so the leader of the high-school Glee Club. Her work was widely recognized and the students which she led ranged from the lowest classes to the high school. ., .A Wg. ' ,
