NOEL MORPHIS CHOSEN CITIZEN OF MONTH Jimmy Snider The House of Representatives again has made a fine selection for October’s “Citizen of the Month.’’ Noel Morphis, a popular member of the Senior Class as well as an outstanding athlete, has been chosen for the coveted honor.

YOUTH DAY OBSERVED AT LSHS Talmadge Hinkle On October 17, 1961, Youth Day was observed at Lexington Sen ior High, an assembly being the first phase of the program. Dis cussion groups were held during the afternoon, and panel discus sion groups were held, and skits were given at the Y. M. C. A. during the evening session. In the morning assembly, John Leonard, president of the student body, presented the guests and called on the Reverend Grant of Trinity Methodist Church to in troduce the speaker, Bones Mc Kinney, of Wake Forest College. Mr. McKinney started his talk in a humorous vein, changing to a more serious one. He stated that all people go through life in a dream world. People constantly tell others to do right, and that everything will work out right. Young people are prepared for the success that comes their way, but never for disappointment, discouragement, and failure. A common phrase one hears now is, “Everybody else is doing it.” But we have to justify the things we do if we are to live with our selves.” Youth “must think without con fusion clearly.” The way they think today will determine their action tomorrow. The decisions they make every day have to be made in a split second. There is no stopping of time to allow them to think over the decisions. They have to take their places of responsibility. We “must love our fellow man sincerely.” All young people want to be liked. Behind every front is the desire to be liked and ap preciated. They should have a goal and seek to reach it. “Act from honest motives pure.” There is a reason behind everything one does. All have motives behind what they say and do. Many go places and do things to be popular. Nothing can compare in life with being honest Jackie Myers, L.S.H.S. Homecoming Queen’^^ seen sitting on her float, prepared by the Tri-Hi-Y. This citizen has a wide variety of school interest, being a mem ber of the De Malay, Monogram Club, and Latin Club. Noel also is the Senior Class Treasurer, a member of the House of Repre sentatives, and holds the Senior Superlative of “Best Looking.” In athletics he has more than proven his unusual ability, being Tri-Captain of the football team, and a three-year letterman on the track and wrestling teams. He takes an active part in his church in that he was elected President of the Youth Fellowship of the United Church of Christ. These fine characteristics which makes Noel a good citizen merit him the honor of the title, “Citizen of the Month.” with ones self and with his fellow man. “Trust in God and Heaven se cure.” All people have a certain amount of faith. God is real; and when we are willing to trust Him, completely, no problems are real. Young people do not have to live tomorrow today. All they have to do is to live one day at the time. Mr. McKinney said, “I have found out through experience that God is real, and when I trust in Him I feel right. God knows everything we do or even think about doing. If we trust in Him, things will be right.” Mr. McKinney based his ad dress on the quotation by Henry Van Dyke.—“Think without con fusion clearly—Love our fellow man sincerely—Act from honest motives pure, And trust in God and Heaven secure.” JACKIE MYERS REIGNS OVER HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES PAT MELTON Homecoming activities this year showed an enthusiastic participa tion of L. S. H. S. students and faculty. With everyone working together, the 1961 Homecoming got off to a successful beginning. On Thursday, October 5, a pep rclL was held the stadium. Through the co-operation of the Pep Club, cheerleaders, band, and L. S. H. S. students, the rally helped increase school spirit for the coming game. Not only did the pep rally promote school spirit but it was also a lot of fun for everyone. The next day the school halls were filled with excited whispers as to who the homecomiing queen would be. During the pep rally in the gym, the cheerleaders gave their version in an “all-girl foot ball maneuver” of the coming game between High Point and Lexington. After the cheerlead ers had led the students in some school yells, the time came for the crowning of the queen. Jack ie Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Myers, received this honor. Jackie, a Junior this year, has previously received honors in high school. She is a varsity cherleader, president of the Jun ior Class, and member of the Tri- Hi-Y, Spanish, and F. T. A. Clubs. Congratulations to a very deserving girl. The homecoming parade, held at 3:30 p. m. showed that the students had worked hard to make it a success. The parade was led by the band, followed by the cheerleaders, and then the queen. The sponsors and floats came afterwards. The homecom ing sponsors are as follows: freshman class, Linda Kirkman; sophomore class, Susan Moore; junior class, Tricia Berrier; sen ior Class, Pat Melton; student council, Susan Michael; Science Club II, Beeva Troutman; Latin Club II, Judy Mauze; Spanish Club II, Carol Michael; P.

The sponsors and the clubs and rooms which won prizes are to be congratulated. The homecoming game was played against the High Point Bis- ons. The sponsors and queen were seated on chairs along the field and were introduced at half time. Both the High Point and L. S. H. S. bands displayed a grand performance during the half-time period. Although the game was lost to High Point, the team showed sportsmanship, and they were supported well by the crowd. After the game, there was an open house at the “Y” which had been decorated beautifully by the Teen Council. This 1961 homecoming has been commented upon as being one of the best L. S. H. S. has ever had. This fact was achieved through the wholte-heairted co operation of all students and teachers. The memories of this year’s tradition will not soon be forgotten.
