HONOR SOCIETY MEMBERS NEW The Lexhipep OUR HATS ARE OFF TO YOU! XXVIII LEXINGTON, N. C., FEBRUARY 2, 1951 No. 4 Spring Season “SPECIALS” —“Henny” Bruton It’s almost unbelievable, but there are only four more school months, and from the looks of the school cal endar, they will really be busy ones. First on the agenda is the Senior Class play which will be in March this year. Incidentally, there have been rumors that it might be “Dear Ruth!” Of course the basketball tournaments are in full swing right now, and every one is hanging with suspense as to their outcome. Special treat on the hard wood is the Student-Faculty Game which should be coming up soon putting the Quill and Scroll against such stars as “Suggie” Sugg, “Buifa- lo” Bowen, and “Country” Clark. More sports in store are the baseball season and the golf tournament. Seniors, of course, are always busy, especially with “Macbeth” coming up. but they still have time to talk about a Senior trip(?), Wouldn’t it be nice to spend five days roaming around New York City? Boy, “Lexicon” Stunt night is just around the corner. Better be getting a good stunt in mind because the competition is going to be stiff. The faculty as well as stludents must need a vacation from all these activi ties and that is just what Easter Hol idays are for. Just think—a nice long week-end to do all that fishing and boating—March 22-26. The Junior Class play is the next highlight and, if it lines up to “A Young Man’s Fancy,” you can be cer tain that it will be as good a play as any that L. H. S. has ever produced! The Junior-Senior banquet, shining highlight of the year, is really not as far away as you may think. We hear the Juniors have big plans for this year, and all the Senior girls are al ready dreaming of dates, dresses, and flowers. (Page all L. H. S. stags, please.) ’The Seniors are all wondering if the Senior dinner will be continued this year. It has been a big occasion for the last two years, and we Seniors would like to make it a tradition. Then comes the big, final rush. “Lexicons,” Senior Assembly, awards, commencement—it makes your head whirl to think about all the fetes and fancies. Then suddenly, all the Se niors are graduates; the Juniors, Se niors, and so on down the line. And it’s only^ four months away! Band Clinic Held This year, L. H. S. was fortunate enough to have her excellent band represented in a special band clinic held in Boone, N. C., on January 19th and ■•20thl --From lists of ■ ten names sent in by bandmasters from all over the Western North Carolina District, four names were picked to attend. They received valuable instruction for the two days and then on Saturday night they presented a concert di rected by James Christian Pfohl of Davidson College. Those representing the L. H. S. Band were Hulin Cooper, tympani; Betty Sue Bumgarner, clar inet; Winnifred Andrew, flute and piccolo; and Patsy Thompson, bas soon. They report that the clinic was very beneficial, and L. H. S. is proud of these students vdao participated in this event. MR. and MISS L. H. S. Amelia Brown, Charles McCrary Search for Groundhog, (Article Page 2) Y. M. C. A. “Operations Drive” Gets Under Way The Y. M. C. A. drive is under way! Yes, a drive to secure memberships in the Y. was started by Buck Young when he came to L. H. S. and made a speech about the need for money in order to keep operating the Y. Many people have joined and Mi\ Link says that the drive is going along fine. Several meetings were held at the Y. to discuss plans for the drive and many students made tape recordings on which they told why they liked to come to the Y. and what improvements they thought should be made. An open forum was held by several L. H. S. and grammar grade students over radio station WBUY. ’The topic of the discussion was, of course, the need for improvements at the Y., the goal needed to attain these things and ways that we can help to reach this goal. These tape recordings were played at pxi assembly the next day. All students in high school were given member ship cards which they filled out in order to become a member of the Y. A pep parade -"as held with the band and students taking part. Chants of, “We Want a Bigger Y.,” were heard as the parade moved up Main Street. Buck Young has done a fine job in organizing this drive, and the least -he students of L. H. S. can do is for each and everyone of us to pledge 100% ;o the Y. M. C. A. Macky Redwine Is Page On Wednesday, January 10, Mack} Redwine left for Washington, D. C., to be a page in the House of Repre sentatives. He was chosen for this honor by Representative C. B. Deane, and he will remain in Washington for at least two. months. . His address is 504 Capitol Street, Washington 3, D. C. A page’s life is full of activity, for although he goes to school only a few hours, he must be there at 6:00 A. M. At 9:00 A. M. he is dismissed to go to work.
