PAGE TWO THE LEXHIPEP APRIL. 28, 1925 OUR TRIP TO CHAPEIj IllliU^ On last Wednesday, April 8, seven members of the track tearr: left in cars for the State University at Chapel Hill to take part in the thir teenth annual state-wide track meet. The meet was held on Friday, the 10th, and hundreds of boys were en tered from all parts of the State. Lexington boys were entered in the dashes, high jump, pole vault. Jave lin throw, shot put, and reity. Al though they did not make a single • point in the meet, there were several reasons for this. Lexington team w'as the most poorly equipped of any team at the meet. Furthermore, the boys, although representing Lexing ton High School, were absolutely on their own hook and received, no aid whatsoever at Chapel Hill. The boys conducted themselves well at the University and helped to blot out the black eye that Lexington has left there in former years. The team did its best and had a good time. The boys hope next year, with more cooperation on the part of the school to at least score in the meet.

SOPHOMORE NOI’l'iS EASTER EGG HUNT Miss Cloud’s class of Freshman boys and their “beaus” had an Easter egg hunt Thursday afternoon, April 9, at the Charles Gates Circle on, the Salisbury road. Much fun was had while hunting the eggs. Archie Burkhart got the “prize eggs” for finding the greatest number. After this games were played and a picnic lunch served. Everyone had a good time and reached home without any accidents, with the exception of falling in the branch, tumbling over fences, etc. We Sophomores are proud of Dot Dorsett, who won first place in the running high jump and the running broad jump. She also helped us win the literary cup by winning second place in English Grammar. In fact we couldn’t do without her. Then, too. May and Pearl Leonar.l and Lyda Lee are Sophomores and they are some runners all right. Next year we hope to have more Sophomores go out for track, although this year over half the girls that went out were from the Sophomore class. Last Thursday “High Lights” was presented at Erlanger and was appre ciated by the audience. AIjPHA zeta liter.ary society MEETS On Thursday, April 2, the Alpha Zeta Literary Society met. , The meeting w’as called to order by presi dent Joe Moffitt, after which the roll was called by the secretary. The query for debate was resolved: “That the blanks filled out during the last basket ball season should be used in all athletics in L. H. S.” The affir mative side of this question w'as up held by Fred Wilson and Crawford Beck and the negative side by Cloyd Philpott and Nat Hunt. Both sides put up strong arguments out it was decided that the negative side won. The entire period was taken up by the debaters and the meeting then ad journed. HI-Y Warning to Seniors and Sopho mores: The Senior and Sophomore classes are going to be ndnus two students if they aren’t careful—for Dot Owen and Crawford Beck have up some case. The latest styles in the Sophomore class are short dresses and bright red neck ties. The Hi-Y club has become such a popular thing in the school that new member.s have continually been taken in. The number on roll at present is about thirty-five. The main thing about the increasing membership of our club is that only the besi boys and those who will do their best to up- I'Old the constitution are admitted. The Hi-Y members have had charge of chapel exerciser; for the past month and have had programs that were of interest and benefit to the students. During the latter part of this week, there will be some boys from David son College here to help us in putting on a “come clean” campaign, by which the Hi-Y club hopes to further Its purposes in making this a clean school.
