PAGE POUR THE LEXHIPEP OCTOBER IG, 1924 The Lexhipep Published Semi-Monthly by the Lexington High School THE LEXHIPEP THE LEXHIPEP, publication of Lexington High School, was started in 1921. It was welcomed by all .students of the High School, as it was their first attempt at a school pa per. THE LEXHIPEP was also pub lished in the 1922-1923 session, but due to the lack of energy and support of the students, it could not be pub lished last year. However, this defi ciency has been made up and we are starting out this year with high hopes for the success of our paper. THE LEXHIPEP is published for the purpose of letting outsiders know what is going on in our high school, and give the students a chance to show what they are able to do along this line. The plan for getting this ma terial is “Lexhipep Day,’’ which comes the Wednesday before the publica tion of the paper. Every student is required to write something he thinks will be interesting to readers, and turn this in to his English teacher. This is checked over and the best se lected for publication. Extra points are added to the English grade of those who submit worth-while articles to the paper. We, the members of the staff, have determined to do all in our power to make our paper a success. We think that with the aid of our censor and other members of the faculty we can carry it through to a glorius finish. In return, however, we expect the full support of every student and teacher in the high school, and judging from the reports, we have no room for complaint on this matter so far. So watch out for THE LEXHIPEP. It’s coming! ‘LEXIXGTON HIGH SCHOOL BOOST” Subscription Rates SI.00 Per Year in Advance. Advertising Rates Upon Request.

The students have the advantage of a li brary, and are very- fortunate to have such a good one. Last year it wasn’t as well equipped as it is this and more books will probably be put in this year. Each class goes to the library when it does not have a lesson. If a stu dent is supposed to be down there and is missing, he certainly cannot get by with it, because at the beginning of the period the roll is called. If any one expects to make noise and have a good time he will certainly get left, because we have good order in our library. Last year the order of the library was not good as it is this. Because of the lack of teachers last year, high school students kept the library. This y'ear there is a teacher in there each period. BOOST LEXHIPEP Hi lee! Hi low! The wind doth blow. But blow this way. Or blow that way. It cannot blow “LEXHIPEP” away. It has its “rep.” Also its “pep.” It climbs the ladder step by step. Hi lee! Hi low! The wind doth blow. And with every blow Gives “LEXHIPEP” the show. The High School wishes to extend a hearty welcome to all of its teach ers, both to the old ones, who have worked and struggled so faithfully with us in the past, and to the new ones who have just come to us. We feel that the school board and superintendent should be congratu lated on having secured so compe tent, good looking, and attractive a corps of teachers. The outlook for the session is most encouraging, and we, the members of the first year class, pledge our very best efforts for the success of the school. With the co-operation of the other grades, we look forward to one of the best jmars in High Schook work Lexington Hi.gh School has a good reason to be boosting with such a splendid principal and faculty iis it has this year. Mr. Allen, the principal, is one of the best, if not the best, principal Lex ington High School has ever had. He works for the betterment of the school in eveiw way he can. He believes in honest, true, hard workers, so if you aren’t one J'ou had just as well stop school now, and not wait until he makes you. We have chapel three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in our fine new auditorium, which is almost complete. On Wednesdays we have singing, the songs being selected and sung by the school, except when we have special music by Miss Myers. On M'ondays we have a minister with us to give us a short talk on any subject he chooses. On Fridays we have some man who has made a suc cess in life to give us a short talk on “How he Succeeded.” These talks are intere.sting and appreciated by all. The attitude of the students has been changed considerably this ye.ar The standard has been raised and everyone works harder than be fore. It is not so easy this year to make high grades as before. The pu pils who hav^e done good before, are now working harder so that they may still lead. Students this year are making school their business and taking it more seriously than before. Another phase of our school work is athletics. L. H. S. has a very good foot-ball team this year and we ex pect to have a good girls, and boys basket-ball team. The girls have started practicing and will very soon be in the new gymnasium. “Every day in every way L. H. S. is getting better and better.” MISS LULA W-ALKER Undertaker Dead Language.s a Specialty Rules for Hotel Guests 1. Anyone wishing to drive will find hammer and nails in the closet. 2. Anyone troubled with night mares will find a halter on the bed post. 3. If you find the room too hot open the window and watch the fire escape. 4. Don’t worry about paying your bills, because the hotel is supported by its foundation. WANTED—Someone who has read more books than Mr. Hunt.
