PAGE TWO THE LEXHIPEP NOVEMBER 26, 192' vfOVl ‘RUSTBING HEAVES AND DRH'M’- ING SCHOOH HIVES” AHPIIA ZETA HITER.\RY SOCIETY JIEETS MY THANKSGIVING CREED. l.VSK On The ground is covered with rust ling leaves today. Lanes and high ways far out in the country have their long fringes of brown leaves. The school boys and girls like to kick them along with the toe of their shoes listening to their rustling, laughing to watch the wind convey them to some valley or roadside. Even the teachers, both young and old, do not mind giving them a kick occasionally to see them flutter. These drifting leaves get nowhere. They have no purpose in life. The wind carries them away, usually in some hollow in the ground where they lie and rot. There is something about a good many lives quite like this. Do you not know many school boys and girls who have no purpose in life? They are the same, day after day. They are satisfied to drift along in the wind and tide of fortune, without doing anything to help the world. And yet, some school boys and girls lose hope, lose courage, lose faith in themselves and others so that they are content to just drift along and wait for the breeze to lift them from one furrow to the next. WTiy not cheer up and help to beautify the world to day and not wait until tomorrow. The Alpha Zeta Literary Society held its third meeting Thursday, Nov. 13. After the roll call and reading of the minutes of the last meeting the society took up unfinished business. The program committee had ar ranged a fine program. The question for debate was Resolved: “That the Lexington High School Seniors Should be Granted Special Privileges.” The affirmative side ■was upheld by Hal Hedrick and Sam Tussey, while Jean Russell and Lloyd Leonard upheld the negative. The affirmative won. The humorous selections were rendered by Byron Lopp, and were enjoyed by all present. The program also called for an extemporaneous debate. Resolved: “That a Girl’s Affections Can be Won by a Boy in Other Ways Than by Love Letters.” Dowery Potts upheld the affirmative while Dwight John son upheld the negative. The nega tive won in this debate. As there was no other business the meeting was adjourned by President Frank McCulloch.

STUDENTS WILL C0-0I*ERATJ Th tion “A HORSE’ “ITS A CRUEL WORId).’ (With Apologies to “The Blacksmith”) Village Under a drooping willow-tree, A little girl did pine; She thought of him who was hers to be. Of him she had left behind. Why did .she desert her lover true? Who to her, always seemed so fine; The .answer comes In her mind so blue. His love she at first declined. She tried to handle this poor boy. With the ease she had heard about; But he had killed her greatest joy. Be refusing to submit to her pouts. Now all you girls who practice this. Should heed this poor girl’s Late; For you too, might make a miss. And your fellow would take the gate. —FRED WILSON. The horse Is a very noble beast; he eats oats and saw dust. He goes on four legs. He does not stay out late at night, nor make faces at his little sister, nor tease his grandmother; things which I think is bully for the horse. He does not have to write compositions, nor make fires, nor wash his face in the morning. (I wish I was a horse.) There is many •llfetrent kinds of horses; saw horse, onimluis horse, war horse, hoss-radish, rhynocery boss, hos-pistol. Colt’s revolver, ho.ss chestnuts and a mule. (He ain’t got nothin’ to do with the sul)ject, but will throw him in.) There i.s only one kind that’s good to eat, and th.at's hoss-pistol—I mean hoss-radl h. Hoss chestnuts is good to pelt girls with. Some folks like a reddish ho.ss; then again, some like a milk white steed, with flowin’ fall and more erect; hut for me. give me a coal black steed, with fiery red nostrils and flashln’ eye, or gimme death. I forgot to say a boss has a tail, and can unfold it like Hamlet or any other animal. Some like a mvlle with a paint brush tail. 1 hope ni get this In the LEXHIPEP.
