1969 Who's Who Student It has often been said that freedom is the right to do iust as one wishes. Freedom does, of course, grant many privileges to those who possess it, but freedom also carries with it the acceptance of many responsibilities. This demand, however, should be looked upon as an opportunity to become an able leader. Because stu- dents here at South Lenoir accept freedom as the chal- lenge it really is, many of them are able to rise to this honorable position. Yet, their contribution may not always be recognized by those about them. For this reason, the Who's Who section of the yearbook is de- voted to the individuals who have led the student body in accepting the responsibilities that accompany their freedoms. Jimmg Smith As a member of the National Honor Society, Jimmy Smith agrees that football is also for the thinker. 38 Those included in this section are hailed first for thei loyalty to the ideals upon which the country was firs established. No less important is their curious investiga tion into methods of improving the status quo. Nor ar they afraid to express approval of a new idea whic may violate tradition, if the idea is a superior one. Finally, these leaders have the characteristic of following the? path of moderation-clinging to tradition when it still offers the best example, yet forsaking it when it becomes' obsolete, and introducing the new when it offers im- provement, yet rejecting the new when it offers only a change. For their responsible acceptance of the privi leges offered at South Lenoir, they earn another privi- lege, that is being included in Who's Who. 3 5 i E s i E E3 , it it ' 1 5 it 5 I S 3 s
