ORANGE AND BDUE BASKETORS
ARE MIAKING POOR RECORD
Ij. II. S. 10. Welcome 40
In a very hard-fought game, which
started off very close, the fast Wel
come team snowed Lexington under
with a score of field goals. The game
wa.s very rough, but at no time did
the locals prove a match for the
country boys.
L. H. S. 18, Erlaiisor 17
The following game with Erlanger
“Y” .second team was very close and
the final outcome was always in
doubt. It was Paul Hutchins who
scored the deciding goal with only
fifteen seconds to play.
Ij. II. .S. 11, Denton 23
This game was played in an old
school building in Southmont. The
ceiling was only about ten feet high,
and the court was very small. There
were no window glasses in the place
and it was very cold, the floor hav
ing large holes in it. The lighting
system was bad, and this place and
the score tell the story of the sorry
game.
Ij. II. S. 7, Burlington 10
The Burlington boys team avenged
the football defeat in a fast game c''
basketball with the Le.xington boys.
The locals, appeared to be “off,” for
they missed easy goals more tiian
once. When the last whistle blew the
score was 16 to 7, Burlington's favor.
Hutchins starred for the locals.
Ij. II. ,S. 16—TRINITi: 17
On Friday night, January 16, vhe
Trinity High School girls defeated
the Lexington High School girls in
one of the closest and most exciting
basketball games of the season. Al
though the girls of the Trinity team
were largei and heavier, the local
girls put up a valiant fight until the
very last. At times it looked as if
their superior passing and team
work would triumph over the greater
weight of the visitors. Each te.am
was ahead about half the time, and
the outcome was in doubt until the
final whistle blew, with the visitors
leading by a score of 17 to 16.
IH-Y IHKE
The Lexington Hi-Y b.tys had a
Weinie roast last Thursday night,
January 15. They met at six o’clock,
and hiked out to the Red Hills. A
big fire was built, on which Welnies
and marshmellows were roa.sted. The
Hills were wet after the rain, but some
of the boys persisted in tramping
over them, and acquired some mud
on their clothes. They had a real good
time.
It is easier to be wise for others
than for ourselves.

THE OPEN FORUM
(Coiitimiod from Page 1)
With the support that some give the
team a hinge on the “Gym” could
not be oiled. You sit at home, loaf
around the streets, attend every sorry
show that comes to town but you
can’t attend a basket-ball game,
many of the faculty have never seen
the Court, the students haven’t time
to attend the games, and the towns-
peopie are too lazy. With all this
we are expected to have a good team!
—The Manager.
LACK OF STUDENT SUPPORT
What’s the matter with L. H. S.?
where is the schooi spirit and “peir”
that she used to have? There was
always a big crowd at a foot-ball
game but it seems as if no one cares
for basket-bali games. When the
giris played Concord and Thomasville
there was a fairly good attendance,
but the crowd that came when Lex
ington played 'brinity was very small
indeed. These games only cost a
quarter and there are some in this
high school that haven’t been to a
game this year. That shows, I think
mighty poor spirit, don’t you? There
are always the faithful few w'ho at
tend, but what we want is a big crowd
at both the boys and girls games.
Come on L. H. S., and show ev^ery-
body that you still have the pep that
you used to have.

THE DRAJLXTIO CLUB
La.st issue’s “Open Forum” con
tained an article whose writer wished
to know what had become of the
Senior Dramatic Club. The Senior
class is certainly not responsible for
failure to give an entertainment. One
small look at the stage will convince
you that acting on a big platform
would practically be impossible. But
we’re overcoming that difficulty, and
all we w.'int you to do now is wait for
March 6th. The senior class can do
anything.
