1//=^ FRESHMAN NUMBER The Lexhipep Published by the Students of Lexington High School VOL. I LEXINGTON, N. C., MARCH 15, 1922 No. 4 ON THE HEPENSIVE. THE FRESHMAN CRASS. Hick Walscr, ’25 Every year there comes into the high school a class of pupils called Freshmen. They are looked upon by the other classes as green objects or playthings. They are not! I know because I am one of them. A freshman, as the name implies, is be coming accustomed to new things and at times he may appear “fresh” to the upper classmen. Why should he? He is just what they once were. If he makes blunders, so did they. In another edition of LEXHIPEP there appeared an article which said that not ten per cent of the freshmen attended the basketball games. This may be true. But does athletics show all of your school spirit? I’m sure, even the seniors will agree with me, that our loyalty is as strong as any one’s when it comes to subscribing for the school paper or supplying names for the honor roll. It seems strange to me to see the seniors come into the study hall at almost any part of the day. Evident ly they like to hear us talk, for they are usually more Interested in our class than in the books which they are supposed to be studying. Perhaps they are learning some of the things they are supposed to have forgotten. We cannot understand why the up per classmen look down upon us. If there were no freshmen there would be no seniors. Once in college we are “fresh” again. But this is our last chance to .show our spirit in high school. We cannot start out again and learn the things we should have learned in the First Year High. Freshmen! Our high school life, our college life, and our life after that is based upon this year. Let’s real ize that we have only one real chance. Make it good. Let's make the other classes look upon us as shining stars of the Lexington High School. Hamilton Hargrave, '25 The freshman class, the seniors of '25, is made up of about eighty-five girls and boys. The class is divided into two sections, the Latin and the Science. There are about fifty pupils in the Latin Division and about thirty-five in the Science. These two sections which have done excellent work during the year have been under a great disadvantage. For instance, our rooms are only a part of chapel separated by a beaver board fence, which does no good in cu'tlng off the noise. The classes are organized, the pres- id nt of the Latin Section is Fran ces Thompson, while the “Scientists” have selected Herbert W’aters as their leader. The freshman class has contributed many athletes to the high school. In liasketball there were four freshmen on the .squad. Those were; Bufort Miller, star guard; Lloyd Everhart, center; Lester Smith, sub-center and forward; and Vann Miller, sub-for ward. To foo'-’’'all they contributed two men. They were Impp, guard, and Everhart, tackle.

OIJR OLD SCHOOL BUILDING. There appears on a cornerstone on the southwest of our school a date marked “1887.” This marks the time of construction of the school building. Later an auditorium and a few rooms were added. This was done because there was lack of space. In 1914 more rooms were needed, so a wooden cottage was built, consisting of three rooms. In 1920 the old school build ing could hold no more so several rooms up town were secured and call ed the “Hege School.” Before the fall term of 1921 the small structure built in 1914 was total ly demolished by Are and the brick building partially destroyed. To meet this emergency the high school was packed in the top part of the Devel- .pment Building until remodeling was complete. Now, crowded to death, we are all in the old high school building. Oh, if our high school building were finished! There it stands and will stand (unless some action is taken) like the pyramids of Egypt. W’hy don’t the people of Lexington hear our pleas? A FRESHMAN.

A woodpecker settled on a freshman’s head, And settled down to drill. He bored away for half a day And finally broke his bill. —Exchange.
