the OPION FOUtTM.
a person feel good to learn that
someone appreciates his or her ef
forts to please them, so why not let
the public know your good opinions
of certain people?
So far we have not received one
articie from readers outside of
school. Possibly the “LEXHIPEP
interests them so little that they
don’t know it has an Open Forum
column. However, if there is any
thing we can do to make it more
Interesting, and someone will be kind
enough to tell us about it, we will
be glad to follow any helpful sug
gestion.
From now on we expect to receive
so many Open Forum articles that it
will be necessary to reserve a page
instead of a column for this purpose.
Don’t disappoint us. We are wait
ing for your article.
We wonder if our readers are in
terested in the Open Forum column
of the “LEXHIPEP?” It seems
that everyone expects someone else
to write articles for this column, and
as a result the column is being neg
lected. We do not like to ask peo
ple to write Open Forum articles, but
we' must have them or discontinue
the column.
Every day we hepr students com
plaining about teachers, lessons,
worn-out football yells, the mana.ge-
ment of the school, or management
of the paper itself. Still these com
plaints drift around among the stu
dents, and the people concerned sel
dom hear of them. Why not be open
and siiuare about it, and publish
your complaints so the person or
per.sons whose work is not suiting
you can reform and try to line up to
your Ideal.s, if you have expressed
any? On the other hand, we hear
such remarks as "I like the way Mr.
.lones gives tests.” Don’t you think
Miss Smith is an excellent teacher?”
“I’m glad wo at last have some
T.,itoraiy Socities,” or “Ij. H. S. has
the beat cor)>s of teachers this year
she h.as ever had.” It always makes

enrollment, who will graduate from
High School, and enter coilege. The
school authorities can secure the mem
bership in the Southern .Association
for your High School, but it is the
responsibility of the boys and girls
who graduate from Lexington High
School and enter college that will
make it possible for this membership
to be retained.
The Southern Association keeps a
close check on all its Hi.gb School
members, knows what percentage of
the graduates enter college each year
and where, and what perceniage fail
in their college work. When this per
centage of failures falls beinw a cer
tain mark the High School f“om which
these students come loses its mem
bership in the Association. Once a
membership is lost it is exceedingly
difficult to re.gain.
It’s up to you, boys and girls of
Lexington High School, and we be
lieve you will do your part. We be
lieve you will show your appreciation
of what the community has done for
you l)y helping your High School
strike true to its aim this year.
