NEWBERRY HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS COMMENTS By Gail Phillips and Barry Shealy Well, if anyone has noticed the seniors of NHS sporting class rings, it’s just that the Jewelry store was having a sale on them and everyone decided that he wanted one. Seriously, the ring ceremony was officially held in chapel last Friday, Februaryl2. Steve Price, secretary-treasurer of the class and Nina Sheppard, pres ident of the class presented the rings while Susan Frazier, vice- president, read the names of the seniors as they came onto the stage. Play rehearsal for the senior play entitled “Father Knows Best” began last Monday night, Febru ary 8. The play will be held in the High school auditorium on Friday night, March 5th. The cast will be rehearsing practically every night in the auditorium un til March 5 under the direction of Mrs. Whitaker and Mrs. Sterling. Its a good set-up too because Mrs. Whitaker uses the psychological angle while Mrs. Sterling corrects grammatical errors. In addition to all these hap penings, the seniors are about to get panicky over their research themes which will be due in about a week. The Cordial, the high school newspaper, held its election for next year’s staff a few weeks ago. Steve McCutcheon, editor; Cathy Bennett, business manager; and Kaye Rinehart, junior editor; will head the staff for next year. The Oracle, the high school yearbook, has gone to press and will be distributed sometime near the end of the year. It should really be a surprise for everyone this year because the staff and sponsors are such a close-mouthed group that not one person knows anything amout it—not even the the closest friends of the staff members! Until next week, remember: “It’s great to be great, but it’s greater to be human!” Wallace Dies; Was Bom Here CENTRAL — James William Wallace Sr., 74, vice president of Cannon Mills, died at 11:45 p.m. Monday at an Anderson hospital after three days of illness.

February 17th, 1965 7 will have mercy on whom 1 will have mercy, and I will *have compassion on whom I will have compassion/* -^Exodus 33:19 We have but to look at the record, to examine these words spoken to Moses, to understand that God is both righteous and merciful. Yet the truth is that most of us give little thought.to these mat ters until, by reason of some trial or tribulation, we turn to God for help and assistance. We forget about God when we think we do not need help or assistance, just as we never think about an um brella until the sky becomes filled with dark clouds or it begins to rain. We should, as Paul the Apostle cautioned the Homans, become "servants of righteousness.” We should, as Christians, avoid sin and temper our own lives with mercy and compassion for others.
