"Two roads diverged in the 'floods, and 1
~ . I took the one less traveled by, and that
has made all the difference."We, the Class of '69, have traveled one
road . . the road of our high school years;
the road of cur youthful fun and frolic; the
road which will end with a long walk downan aisle- • graduation.
As we step from this road onto a new
and strange road, the road of the future, wehesitate. We put one foot forward into the
dark and unknown years ahead, yet we
reach back for the familiar faces and thingswe have known through past years.
OUf hearts are light and happy for the
task we have accomplished; our hearts aresad with the loss of friendly faces and
happy days. OUf minds are filled with the
knowledge of the past; our minds grope foreducation ahead. Our eyes search for truth
and understanding that comes with maturi-
ty; our eyes are misty as we remember the
sweet innocence of childhood.
What Lasseter has mean t to us, we'11
never be able to say. It's been a long time
since we walked down the halls of a
strange, new school in excitement and awe.
Like one great entity, the Class of '69 has
grown in knowledge and experience, Our
lives are enriched by the wonderful friends
we've made; our futures are more stable by
the education we've gained; and never iri
our lives will we again meet. adults whom
w~ wil l respect, admire, and love as muchas the faculty of Lasseter High School.
As we leave, we carry a large part of
Lasseter with LIS. And we hope that a smallpart of the Class of '69 will always remain
at our school. We are graduates of H.S.Lasseter High School; that has made, and
will make, all the difference. NOW
Lefter 'From' Editor?De ar L a ss et er ,
It's not often that you see an editorial page
with a letter from the editor. But here's one any-
way.
TIn:] is my opportunity to expre~:s my deepest
and must sincere appreciation to all students and
faculty for the great support and cooperation
you 've given me and the .LANTERN this year. The
LANT£RN is a great newspaper, b ut o n1 y b ec au se
you are such great supporters .
I will a lw ay s c he ris h th is y ear as E dito r-in -C hie f
and will never forget the rnaay wonderful hours
I 've spent in serv ice of my school.
And, to you, members .cf.the '69-'70 LAN-
TERN staff, keep on keepin' on.
Sincerely,
D i ane W o O O
N e e d e d : P r o b l e m · S o l v e r sGraduation brings rejoicing, pride i.n achieve-
ment, and a few sentimental tears. With it comes
the sober ing realization that graduates face new
and challenging tasks. Are they ready for them?
Our society needs "problem solvers." In an age
F ill ed w it h a multiplicity of problems and the rich
potential for their solution, we have an abundance
of critics, complainers, gripers, and whiners. The
need is for persons capable of seeing the problems
whole, willing to Lackie them with unselfish zeal,
and equipped with skills in problem-solving.
Our world needs men and women whose belief
ill democratic principles enables them to live the
ideals they profess. Multitudes give lip service to a
belief in the value of every human being, in major-
ity rule, and change through the ballot and legis-
latinn. However, when personal matters are at
s take, they forsake their convict ions.
Our world needs educated men and women of
good will. Our perplexed and confused society
needs individuals who accept and understand
themselves and can, therefore, accept others with
love and understanding.
May the graduates of 1969 meet the challenge.

T o S u c c e e d B e B e s t S e l fby Allen Sanders
Editors Note' Mr, Allen Sanders Is
director of ednuesions at Wesleyan
College. A native 0 " llrookwood,
Alabama, he wa~ graduated cum
laude from Birmingham Southern
College with an A.B. in psychology
and went on to earn a B.D. at
Emory University'S' Clln~r School
of Theulugy. Because he has been a
success in many fields, Mr . Sande rs
writes and author ita tive editor ia l on
Mr. ADen Sanders the subject.
Though it. is possible- to live without the conscious awareness of it, to'
be human is to yearn for success. Psychologists agree this desire to
succeed is basic to human nature though all do not agree to the defini-
t ions of its manifestations.
Society defines success in many ways. The person who has great
wealth is a "success." One who gains fame as an author, or musician, 01
politician, or actor, or who ts f. leader III i nnumerable other areas of life
is thought to be "successful." It is generally believed that the college
graduate has greater opportunity to be a "success" than the non-grad-
uatc, thu;! in a sense equating success with degree of education.
Is the obverse then true that the less of wealth fame. education, etc.
one has, the less he is "successful"? The answer has [0 be a resounding
negative! The ultimate criterion, the ultimate definition of success must
concern itself with (I) nat ive inborn abilities, (2) opportunities for
developing those abilities, and (3) the personal response and involve-ment in the oppormnities for self -growth.
No matter the wealth or position or education, the person who
fulfills his best self is a success: 111,:who docs less is a fa ilur e. The great
challenge is to be the best that you can be. This is success
Honesty: Best Policy YetFinding herself almost completely out of honesty, a young girl
stopped in at a reliable store just the uthcr day to replenish her stock.
"I'd like a half-pound of good old-fashioned honesty ," she told the
clerk who asked to help her.
"I'm sony, miss," the clerk said, "but we haven't gotten any hon-
esty in for at least six months. We threw cut the last of it just the other
week. It was all dusty and shopworn, not worth keeping. Iear the
manufacture r's thinking of discontinuing the whole line."
"But why?" she asked.
"There's just no demand for it these days. Ith, sure, a tcw old ladies
come in and ask for it, And, once in a while, some young person like
you 'wants it. But that's all. what's honesty good for, anyway?"
"Well, it keeps a per son f rom telling tie s."
"Hal That's funny.l guess nobody could get along nowadays with-
out lying at least once a day. People don't care about knowing the truth
any more. Why, our best-selling book is "Ten Ways to Better Lying,"
"Honesty a lso prevents cheating," she continued firmly
"That's another joke. You should see the gadgets we sell for cheating
in school,."
Just then a .crowd of students pushed their way into the store,
greeting the girL
"Hey, are those friends of yours? What do they want?"
"They're looking for honesty, too."
"Gosh! I didn' t know it. was so popular with you kids!"
The girl was no longer listening. "Sor ry, people . they' re all out," she
called and led her friends out the door.

P layers Stage'Monkey T ria l'
by Connie Colhard
'Inherit the Wind'
Starring Dennis Sweeney and
Mrs, Dee Ann Earle"Doesn't anyone even have the right to think
anymore'?" This is the basic issue of the famous
"monkey trial," as depicted in "Inherit the Wind,"
a play staged by the Macon Lit tl e Theat re
The pJay takes place" not too long ago" in a
small town located in the so-called Bible, Belt.
Bertram Cates (Dennis Sweeney) stands trial for
"the right to think" after reading to his school
class from Darwin's book of evolution, "Origin of
Species." Rachel Brown (Lasseter's own Mrs. Dee
Ann Ear le ), Bertram' s swee thear t, isn't sure wheth-
er Bertram is light or wrong in his actions, but her
fa the r, the town minister and a firm believer in thc
story of the creation, only complicates matters.
Two lawyers, Mathew Harrison Br~dy (Louis
Chanin), A righteous defender of the Christian be-
liefs, and Henry Drummond (Robert E. Barfield),
a witty man with enough courage to defend Bert-
ram, are summoned for the "monkey trial."
This exciting and witty drama not only inter-
ests the audience, but challenges their minds. Bit-
ing satire is Intermingled with gentle humor, which
makes fol' IImost exc iting and suspense ful contest
between religion and science.
Dianne Smith Potts, II Lasseter student, por-
trayed one of the townspeople.
"Inherit the Wind," by Jerome Lawrence and
Robert E. Lee, is, above all, a lesson about
people-some people aren't what they seem to be,
and sooner, OJ later their true selves will show
through
Put Off Putting Off"Don't put off tm tomorrow what yuu can put
off today," someone once remarked humorously
about procrastination.
But procrastination is no laughing matter to
many students, especially during the summer
months. We make good plans, but the summer
seems to stretch out so l-o-n-g and endless ahead of
us. After all, there's always next week ...
And then, suddenly, next week school is start-
ing, before we've accomplished a thing. There .is no
emptier feeling than that of having wasted a sum-
Only one sure cure for procrastination has ever
been dtscovc rcc . I ts Harne is self-discipline, A mark
of maturity, it is difficult to obtain and even hard-
er to hold onto. But discipline alone can set us
free.By the way, did someone ask what procrastina-
tion is? I'll tell yuu tomorrow. Licla Drinnon

S A Y O N A R A ~69In China there is a word that is used fOI saying special farewells. It
means not only "goodbye," but "peace be with you" and "we'Il miss
you," too.
And so this word, "Sayonara," was a fiting theme for Lasseter and
Mark Smith's third annual junior-senior dance, held May 24 in Lasse-
tee's auditorium, in honor of the class of '69.
A ceremonial dragon, covering almost an entire wall of the auditor-
ium, greeted guests as they arrived. The decorations also featured a
luminous Buddha, murals depicting Chinese scenes, and many lanterns,
fans, gei sha gir ls, and wind chimes.
A widely-known band from Hawkinsville, the Tip Tops, furnished
the music for the dance.
