For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, life muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!

Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, --act in the Living Present! Heart within, and God o'erhead! Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to Labor and to wait. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow SESS Se rs - iG Se eS e— .

The senior play was a big success. The play, “Kay Beats the Band,’’was a very fine comedy which drew many laughs from the audience. The cast included Marian Phillips, Sylvia Carter, Shirley Stevens, Bob Ingham, J. B. Viers, Shirley Coffey, Royal Padgett, Jean Davis, Ava Newman, and Carey Murray. Student directors were Carol White and Phyllis Hunt. BCEA WILL SPONSOR BARTER PLAY JAN. 13 The Bedford County Educa- tion Association, to which the teachers of Bedford belong, will sponsor a play, to be given in the Bedford High School Audi- torium on January 13.

Vada Creasy FIGHTING TEAMS LOSE TWO OPENING GAMES New London Academy's boys basketball team began it’s 1950 season when we journeyed to Lynchburg College to meet L.C’s. Junior Varsity. It was a hard fight, but we lost, 58 - 43. The game was highlighted by the brilliant play of forward Rucker Stanley. Though some- what dismayed by an enormous floor, the boys from the country were in the fight most of the way. Center Royal Padgett was the high scorer for us, with 17, while Rucker ‘Stanley got 15, Jimmy Hall 8, Ingham 2, and Earl Lindsay got 1 while play- ing a bang-up floor game and getting a black eye in the bar- gain. The girls basketball team also played it's first game Dec. 12, with Lynchburg College J. V's. The girls had tough luck with their shots, but enjoyed playing the game. We lost by a score of 32 - 2]. Dorothy Newman was high- est scorer with 10 points, and Carolyn Clark next with 6 points. Phyllis Walker and Clar- ice White each scored 2, and Nancy Hall 1. Rorer was high- est for the J. V's. with I 1 points and Layne next with 8. The girls are looking forward to a return game with the J. V's. soon. MR.

Asa result, the Council has been more concerned in setting up a new organization than it has been in any projects or activities. It has, however, taken up two projects which are considered important, One of these is to establish the custom of having a campus day here each spring. On this the entire student body will helpclean up and beautify our campus. The other pro- ject is to set up some standards for student participationin extra-curricular organ- izations. The Student Council is interested in promoting civic responsibility in students through activities in which the students can co-operate. — wl o Om == ) omen oa FoD cao hg : a ee £ Sg.

Most Likely To Succeed Melvin Class Nistory A long time ago, 'way back in the fall of '47, a group of stupid, but intelligent-look- ing freshmen entered New London Academy. Who would have thought that this mob would someday be the SeniorClass? At first the faculty didn't know what they were in for, but, believe me, they soon found out. Miss Raye Francis took charge of the girls andMr. Andre dePorry struggiedalong with the boys. Finally things calmed down and officers were elected as follows: President, Earl Lindsay; Vice-President, Phil Knight; Secretary and Treasurer, Louise Phillips; and Student Council Member, Russell White. i Time soon rolled by, and before we knew it we were Sophomores. This was an ex- citing year for most of us - basketball games, dances, dates, etc. Miss Nancy Wells sponsored the boys and Mrs. Bill Jones, the girls. The officers were as follows: President, Ava Newman; Vice-President, William Goodman; Secretary, David Stinett; Treasurer, Royal Padgett; and Student Council Member, Louise Phillips. Then came the Junior year, and what a year! We were upper classmen and we let everyone know it. We began going by the name of ''dignified juniors , as Mr. Crockett called us one day in an assembly program. We had lots of fun that year at the Junior- Senior banquet and at the ball games. Mrs. Gordon Ingham sponsored us and officers were elected as follows: President, Margaret Booth; Vice-President, Phyllis Hunt, Secretary, Bobby Ingham; and Treasurer, Louise Phillips. ; Before we could realize it, we were Seniors and were reaching for the top of the ladder which we had been climbing for three long years. But as we looked back over the years, we wished that we could again relive those happy days spent at old New Lon- don. Miss Dorothy Dancy was our Senior sponsor and our officers were: President, Margaret Booth; Vice-President, Royal Padgett; Secretary, Louise Phillips; Treas- urer, Melvin Mitchell; and Student Council Members, Phyllis Hunt and Bobby Ingham. During this year the Chilton Players presented us in a three-act play called ''Kay Beats the Band . The cast consisted of ten nervous Seniors who all developed a mys- terious illness the day of the play. But they all pulled through and our production was said to be a success. We had a wonderful time when we went on our Senior trip andalso at the Junior-Sen- ior banquet and dance which was given us by the Tenth Grade. As our class night and commencement exercises approach, we realize howclose are the end of our high school days, and that we are living some of the happiest days of our lives. Eventhough we have hada tough time reaching our treasured goal - graduation - we have enjoyed every minute of it and only hope that the ''dear ' faculty and all our familiar old carved desks, with answers written on them, will be here to guide others through the years to come.
