A. girl representing school spirit is seated in the middle of the stage, her ^ face in her hands as though moan ing or crying. A school boy enters. School Boy—“Why, who is this, that is here?” School Spirit—“I am just School 3 Spirit drifting around, and I happen- I ed to drop right here.” “You look as though you are sad about something.” Spirit—“Well, to tell the truth, I ' ®nd. I should be in use right now in the primary, grammar and High Schools. But you see here I am; it’s enough to dishearten any one.” “Yes, that is so; there is a lack of school spirit in the schools. As for myself, I never believed in it.” Spirit—“You have never believed in me? Why, you are such a bright boy and still you don’t believe in me!” Hoy—“No, I don’t.” Spirit—-“Well, you are not a good scholar, a good athletic, nor a good co-operator.” “It doesn’t make any differ- ence to you whether I am or not.” School Spirit—“Remember, some 3ay yon y^rjn believe in me and put nie to use in your school work.” Boy—“Maybe I will—not unless I change my mind.” (Exit Boy) School Spirit—(to herself) “I still have hopes for myself.

School Spirit.” School Spirit—“I had predicted that you would make use of me and you have.” Boy—“Yes, and it makes me hap py.” School Spirit—“I don't think I will ever be sad again, because I be lieve I am going to be used in the right way and at the right time.” Boy—(Speaking to audience, which is composed mostly of school boys and girls.)

And all the while our knees are shak ing. Lest we should miss, and get a raking. And there Miss Lula sits so straight So she can watch, and see who’s late; And we must get to work right away. For Miss Lula does not believe in play. And soon our Cicero lesson’s begun. And our minds unravel what they have spun Of Cicero and his wonderful oration About Catiline, and the Roman na tion. Lexington High School wishes to thank the High School football team and coach Robbins for their hard work and loyal support of this high school during the football season. In a few more weeks the season will be ended and we take this time to express our appreciation. For months the football boys have worked under the lashings of coach Robbins, in rain or under a broiling sun, yet it was not for themselves that they did this. It was the love of their school, old L. H. S., that drove them -on. Coach Robbins has been there every day, giving his best to make this a great team. We also wish to thank Dave Conrad, Mr. Stokes, Mr. Craven, and Mr. Welborn, without whose sup port the team could not have been organized as it was. BE A BOOSTER If you think the P. T. A. the best. Tell ’em so! If you’d have it lead the rest. Help it grow. When there’s something to do. Let them always count on you. You’ll feel good when it is through, Don’t you know? If you’re used to giving knock.s. Change your style; Throw bouquets instead of rocks For awhile. Let the other fellow roast Shun him as you would a ghost; Meets his banter with a boast and a smile. When a stranger'from afar Comes along. Tell him who and what you are— Make it strong. Never flatter, never bluff; Tell the truth and that’s enough; Be a booster, that’s the stuff. Don’t just belong. F.WORITE SAYINGS Mr. Allen—“France.s, come to the front.” Frances—“What did you say?” Mr. Allen—“Come to the front.” Frances—“I didn’t understand you” Mr. Allen—'“Do you want me to write it on the blackboard so that you can hear me?” (Continued on Page Seven)
