The final step in the evaluationwill be Apr i11( ). .12, when- the Visit .Ing Committee (If the Southern As-sociation will inspect Lasseter.

men t taped its report and playedit back to the other faculty memobers in the lab, over the ear-phones.The Physical Education teachers

Sca res Inco n venienceHS Students And FacultyThe bell has just rung at Lasseter, and supervision is gettingerway, Suddenly the telephone in the office rings. "There's ab ln the school," a masculine voice repeats, and click! the phones dead. In the next instant the persistent buzz of the fire drilll jars Lite school, and a sigh goes up. "Oh, no! Not another bombLasseter and Mark Smith have been plagued with bomb threatstimes since September, twice within a single week. The first

eral times the threats occured we were able to laugh them oif,after five times - enough is enough! Fortunately, a bomb hasn'tn discovered in either school - th e incidents turned out to bectical jokes. However, this kind of joke isn't really funny, espe-lly when it is played over and over again,'phose senseless bomb scares serve no- other purpose than. to In-venience both the students and the faculty, Having to stand cut-e in the rain and the cold for thirty minutes or longer is uncomfor-le at nest. Everyone suffers because of the disruption to theool's time schedule, and the loss of class time must be a greatoyance to the teachers. And pity the poor firemen who must takee off to search for a non.existent bomb.Can anything be done to prevent these ridiculous pranks? Notthe prankster who make the telephone calls is discovered. The

t clue necessary to break "The Case of the Mysterious Bombax" bas already been uncovered. A a result, several suspect, haven apprehended by the police. Let's hope this ends these inccn-nlent bomb scares!

ss H enry SpeaksGoal Of Lasseter EvaluationTo Be Improvement Of SchoolOur school life this year has been filled with activities related toevaluation of our school by the Southern Association of CollegesSchools. There have been compositions on school purposes, sur-

s, and qucstionnalres. The faculty has been busy with committeerk and gene ral mee tings.If tnts work is to be worthwhile, it is essential that all of us have

arlr in mind its purpose > improvement of the school. We need tobe aware that we are involved in a large-scale,organized etfcrt to do that which we as individualsand smaller groups do constantly: First, we defineour objectives; second, -s e take stock of our presentalbuation, facing honestly our strengths and weak-nesses; then, we determine what steps are necessaryto mov.e us toward our goals.

As the culmination of our self-study we wil lhave the privilege of having a dozen or more distlu-

Ann Henry gutshed educators from across our state visit -within April. As they come to know our school, its goals and Its accom-shments, they will be able to give 'Us invaluable suggestions foring problems and for improvement.I am confident that no student burly has greater pride in its schooln you have in Lasseter. 'Ihis is plendid and I share this pride. Yetpride must never be egotistical, conceited, or complacent. We

st search for better more effective ways to achieve our aims. West fake advantage of every opportunity to broaden our horfzonsexpand our vision.

In addition to potiuns and pow-ders, various love foods havefound favor. The apple has a longhistory as a symbol of Iove. TheGreek goddess of love, Aphroditewas awarded an apple as the win-ner of the first Miss Universe con-test.The tomato when introducedinto Europe was called the "love

apple". This may help explainwhy tomatoes were frowned on inpuritanical America until thenineteenth century.

Love CharmsAbo in vogue were love charms.Qulte a few of -the customs con-

nected with weddings originatedas love charms. Notable examplesare the bride's bouquet that sln-gle girls scramble lor, and thebride's gar ter t hat bachelors atthe wedding strive to win.In nineteenth century France,there was a preasant custom ofustng a brides' garter as a lovecharm. At the close of the weddingdinner, the youngest male guestwas given one of the bride's gar-ters. This was believed to ensureits owner success in love.Another honored love charm isthe rose. According to tradition,

an English girl picks a rose onMidsununer Day (June 24) andsaves it to weal' to church onChristmas Day, when her futurehusband should step forward andpluck it from her.But when all is said and done,true love needs no outside help.An anonymous lover puts it thisway"Twas the maiden's matchlessbeautyThat drew my hea-t a-nigh;Not the tern-root potion,nut the glance of her blueeye."
