Maybe it is a little early to talk of spring but tra-la-la, 'tis spring! Pretty soon everybody will be wearing straw hats with daisies and all kinds of posies on them. Speaking of hats, what is that creation Johnny Raker got in Salisbury? It has a brim as wide as an open umbrella and a dark brown ribbon with red, yellow and blue feathers on it. I haven’t seen him wearing it lately, it might be because he bought it to fit before he had his hair cut; now it is too big. Just a little warning to you, Johnny; be careful when you wear it in March. It might take wings and fly off, with you bringing up the rear. Has any class taken advantage of the American Legion Hut which has been offered to high school students for dancing? I hear the Junior class nas planned several parties and are having very much fun. Some other classes ought to take advantage of this offer and plan dances and parties. The basketball season has drawn larger crowds this year than ever before. Several extra rows of seats were built by one of Mr. Lea’s classes, but there still isn’t enough space for everyone. Many fans have been turned away for lack of room. This should prove that Lexington High School has a great need for a larger gym. I know that everyone who went to see the show that the Bible class sponsored will agree that it was wonderful. It provided niuch entertainment and also made more of us appreciate the music of Franz Schubert. It has been said that a person remembers more when he sees it instead of hearing or reading it. These pictures giving the lives of artists, composers, singers and many other people who have enriched our lives with beautiful things should be shown more often. I agree whole-heartedly, and I hope more of you will, too: Are you overweight and have much excess fat at the wrong places? If so, just talk to proprietor Mike Siceloff and she will fix you up. From what I understand, she has a reducing machine that her father used and several of her friends havF been trying it out after school. From now on you’ll knew where I’ll be after school. This year the student council has been doing several commendable things for our school. The idea of giving your suggestions that you would like to see carried out to your student council representative will help very much. The student council discusses The suggestion and then passes on it. If they pass it they present it to the faculty to pass on. By this way many things that will help our school can be obtained. Everyone who has a worth-while suggesion should present *it to their home-room student council representative in order to have it enforced. About a month or two ago, there was a lot of talk about a Teen-Age Club for Lexington. Has this plan been given up by everyone? Several of the Civic Clubs of Lexington have set aside money for this purpose, and ii the students of Lexington would talk the problem up a little more, maybe action would be taken. Lexington needs a Youth Center badly, and the people of Lexingon are willing to help if someone takes the initiative to start it. Thanks to the Civitan Club for being our supporters this far. Everybody try to help L. H. S. become a better school than any other school. Give your suggesions to the Student Council, plan to take advantage of the American Legion Hut, and talk about getting a Youth Center to your parents and friends. CITY BARBER SHOP J. A. CORN, Ptop.

LEE WATERS STUDIO Alumni Ne-ws —Enid Ayers This past month, the Lexhipep was very glad to have Martha Brannock and Martha Scarborough visit for a while. Martha Brannock is a spoho- more at Salem College, and Martha Scarborough is a sophomore at Queens College. The Alumni are always represented at the basketball games. There are so many present that I \isually have a hard time getting a seat. (Ask Mrs. Hedrick; she was standing up at the last two games). No wonder the Alumni and other Lexington fans turn out so well with as good teams as Lexington High has this year. On the very front row, giving instruc tions to the team were those Catawba fans, “Fats” Price, Rusty Graver, and Melvin Everhart. After the game j heard them asking for a ride back to Catawba. We are glad to have you even though you do have a hard time getting here. One of the most regular Alumna fans is Jan Walser. She always was early and gets a good seat so that she can watch “Pockets”. Jan is always ready to yell for good ole Lexington High. You’re a great help; keep up the good work, Jan I! On the way to the post office the other day, I met Billie Pickett. The conversation immediately begsin with Lexington High School. She asked about all you folks, so I told her, very briefly. Billie is now employed in the personnel department at Siceloff’s. We are very glad to have you back in Lexington, Billie. We were very proud to have Ben jamin F. Touchstone visit us on Thursday, February 13. He and his small son flew down here from Boston, Mass. Ben said that it was great to see the ole place and his favorite teacher (Mrs. Hedrick, natch!!) You are always welcomed at Lexington High, Ben, and come to see us again. In about thirteen years we hope young Tommy Touchstone will be enrolled in L.H.S. Lexington High is always proud to have the Alumni come to the basket ball games. Let’s aU come out and back our boys, because the basketball season will soon be over. Sporting Goods FARMERS HARDWARE PHONE 519 J. F. WARD CO. “Merchandise of Quality” Phone 344 Lexington, N. C.
