THE THOMASONIAN The Thomasonian staff was chosen in a meeting of the faculty and senior class officers, each member being chosen for certain attributes. The pub- lishing of a yearbook is a wonderful experience and an excellent lesson in the problems of human relations and business training. Many of the pro- blems confronting your staff are commonplace in the business world and each member of this staff is much the wiser in having had the opportuni- ty of solving these problems for themselves. Our first task was the proper organization and delegation of respon- sibilities. The advertising being one of the most important phases, was assigned to three staff members, who in turn solicited the aid of the student body. A very successful advertising campaign was concluded with the necessary financial backing obtained to insure the yearbook's publication. Other major sections of the yearbook were broken down, and individuals given the responsibility for assembling and editing the material. Natural- ly, a yearbook takes the cooperation of the student body to make it a suc- cess. Most everyone in this school has had one task or another in bring- ing this yearbook to a successful conclusion. Many thanks to those whose assistance made this year's Thomasonian a success. Now that the Thomasonian has reached you, the staff hopes you enjoy its contents, and in the years to come we feel that it will become a treasured possession. The seniors and students are proud of the Thomasonian, the staff hopes you enjoy reading it. Marlene Best, Editor ALL IN A DAY'S WVORK Hi, kids! Did you study for your law test this morning? Me? Oh, I read over my notes during breakfast, that's all. I went to the Haines last night. Just couldn't pass up that movie, it was about a mad monster, very scary. There's the bell. Well, wish me luck in this test. Psssssst. Hey, Jane, do you think it's going to be hard? Mr. Thomas said he was going to make up a good one. Wow, look at all 'those questions. Let me see now, what is a novation? Oh dear, I guess I'll have to skip that one and see if I can think of the answer later. Oh boy, this one is easy, at least I know what arson is. There, at last that group is done, only two more to go. Ahhh, this part is true and false. That gives me a fifty-fifty chance anyway. Now let me see, the first four are all true so I'll put the last one false. They can't all be true, at least I hope they aren't. Oh-oh, only seven more minutes before the bell and I've got five ques- tions left. Darn, these are all case histories. This one's a hum-dingerl If A owed B 81,000.00 and C tells B that he will pay A's debt if A doesn't within thirty days, does the promise have to be in writing to be valid? Explain. I-Immmmmm, I remember reading something like that. I'll

put down yes and hope it's right. I haven't got time to think up a good reason so I'll just have to let it go and pray that Mr. Thomas is in a gener- ous mood when he corrects these papers. Gee, I Wish I hadn't gone to that movie last night, I don't know this stuff so well as I thought I did. Oh-oh, there's the bell and I've still got three examples I haven't even looked at, plus those three I wouldn't do. That makes six wrong at least and probably more. What am I going to do if I flunk on my rank card! I just barely passed that last test we took. From now on I am going to stay home and do my homework. No movie is worth what I have just been through. Nancy Hunter WVOULD YOU START AGAIN? To be away from it allf' is a statement often quoted. Away from what - your real self? If this is hard to answer, then let us review a few facts. From which part of your life would you want to start over? Do you have a good reason for wanting to do so? If you do, what are your reasons? Could you, do you think, attain the position that you now hold, reach it again, or do better? Would you be willing to give up what you now have in friends, gains, and possessions? Why do you consider yourself worse off than your neighbor? Do you feel that it is necessary to keep up with the J oneses next door? Is it pride, vanity, or possessions for short-lived happiness? In any event, if all your purchases are charged one week and repossessed a few months later for lack of payment, then is this real happiness or is it being a financial slave, which you yourself used to create a false front to hide your true self from others by trying to keep up with the Joneses. In general, the day when people realize how well off they are in their present circumstances, they will be surprised to find that they do not actually care to start over again. Most people have had their share of ups and downs, and have found happiness in what they already have, be- cause they do not owe their every hour to the financial slave Bill, I believe we have in most cases a great deal to be thankful for, and we should not always be wishing to start over again. When a person has good health, friends, and opportunity for advancement he should con- sider himself fortunate. To have another chance when you make a mistake is something to be thankful for the rest of your natural life. As you live your life, you might consider yourself as being an actor in a play on a huge stage - the stage being the world, the universe of God being the audience. When you start over again you might ask, How much do I want out of life? Do I want more than my share, or work on what I already have, toward my speaking part in the play toward final happiness.
