I..EXINGTON', N. C., NOV. 1, 1924
Educational statisticians ha\e com
piled various statistics on file value
of a high school education in dollars
and cents. All have agreed that each
day spent in the high school is worth
at least $10 to each student. How
many of us are getting our money’s
worth? If we will all stop a minute
and think of the great task our teach
ers are doing their best to perform,
we cannot, from a personal stand
point, afford to fail to do our part in
helping them complete it.

Eexington High School is now run
ning on a regular schedule and plan.
The teachers have a check on all stu-
dent.s, and “.skipping” classes would
certainly terminate in troulilo for the
“skipper.” Our High School is not a
loose-jointed, haphazard affair, but a
well-ordered organization.

The students of Lexington High
School .appreciate the order maint.ain-
ed in the Library. Last year, during
some Iieriods it wa.s turned into a gen
eral talking period, and if any one
washed to study, it was impossible to
do so. Now, however, a student going
to the Library knows that absolute
silence is expected of him a.id is will
ing to do his part in making and
keeping the Library quiet for those
who wish to study. Although a teach
er is in the Library each peidod, the
“keep quiet’’ plan has become a ha
bit to the students, so that the rule
does not have to be enforced.

Everyone was glad to see the “va
cationists” return to school, and we
hope no one else will feel it necessary
to take a vacation before June.

Our grass is coming fine. Let’s keep
on keeping off it.

The class rings made a deep hole
in the Christmas banks of the Sen

“a thing of beauty is a joy forever.”

We are all finding ninety cents
w'orth of valuable information in the
“Literary Digest,” but the matter of
the straw-vote is creating quite a
sensation among the Democr.ats, Re
publicans, and Congressionalists in
school.

Those who escaped patronizing
ticket-sellers for the Lexington. Con
cord game must have had flivers equal
to Mr. Hunt’s for running, in which
to escape.
with them, because they are doing
their best for you. Make things
easy for yourself by making it easy
for the teacher.
Loyalty is a big word, and without
it no school will amount to much,
for the pupils must be loyal to every
thing connected with the school and
give it their support. So come on
out to the football games, and yvatch
your team yvin, then read about it in
the Lexhipep, and remember what
ever happens you are going to
loyal and support Lexington High
School until the end and victory.
IXJVALTY.
“We’re loyal to you Lexington!”
Have you ever heard that before?
If you h.ave ever been to a football
or basketball game here -you have,
for it’s our school song.
Every boy and girl in L. H. S.
should be loyal to the school. The
boy’s who practice football are loy’al
although some never play, but they
go out. Many subscribe for the
Lexhipep who w'ill never get an
article in it, but they are loyal to the
school.
If you are not interested in taking
any part in qthletics, come out to the
games at least and take part in
y'elling your team to victory. There
were only about two dozen high
school students out of two hundred
to see Lexington beat Mt. Airy, and
very few te.achers. If the boys are
willing to practice everyday can’t
you support them by coming to the
game?
Be loy.al to the teachers and your
self. Try to work .and co-operate
THE W;VIL OF A SENIOR!
Once there w,as a Senior sitting on a
yvall.
Along came Geometry and caused
her to fall;
Then followed Latin, French and
History,
She got out her jack to solve the
my'stery.
As the months pass by, yve hope to
arrive
At the long coveted goal, for which
we have strived.
For yvhich we have worked these
many long years.
Through joys and sorrows, through
laughter and tears.
And now with the end so near in
view.
With the aid of the teachers we hope
to pull thru.
A’rTENTION!
Quite a bit of reading.-matter wil'
be added to the Library when the pa-
per.s from ten different high schools
with whom we are exchanging begin*
to arrive. Twenty-two of the State :•
leading high schools have agreed to
send us their paper in ex.ibange fo*
the LEXHIPEP. Seventeen o'
America’s largest high schools, scat
tered from California to Main arc
sending us their publication. Al'
the.se will be placed in the Library nS
soon .as the editor has had a glance
at them. Read these papers and
help to improve our own.
Mr. Hunt—To what do you attribute
your great knowledge?
Miss Cloud—To the good old South
Carolina.
