yr The Lexhipep Published by the Students of Lexington High School VOL, I LEXINGTON. N. C., APRIL 24, 1923 No. 13 The Junior-Senior Reception. On Friday evening, the sixth of April, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at a lovely reception in the cafeteria of the new High School building. The room was most attrac tively decorated in white and gold, the Senior colors, and lovely baskets of jonquils and daffodils hanging from the wall helped to carry out the col or scheme. When the guests first entered the room they were decorated in the Senior colors white and gold, and pre sented with a most attractive white and gold booklet, containing the pro gramme for the evening and various written contests. Under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Davis the guests were highly entertained with these various games and contests. The prizes, four boxes of candy, were pre sented to Mrs. E. J. Harbison, Carrie Pickett, Ella Raper, and Cortez An derson. During the evening punch was serv ed by Miss Martha Burkhead from behind a lovely gold and white trellis covered with ivy vines. Later in the evening a delicious ice course was served by Misss Hill, assisted by Frances Thompson, Mary Lil Walser, Virginia Smith, Rebecca Walser and Elizabeth Hackney, members of the Sophomore class; the color scheme was eliectively carried throughout. Besides the Juniors, Seniors and High School Faculty those present were Supt., and Mrs. J. H. Cowles, Mrs. R. L. Burkhead, Junior grade mother, Mr. J. M. Gamewell, a mem ber of the High School Board, and Miss Rachel Phillips, now a student at Hollins College, Va. CHRISTINE McCRARY, ’23 Medals and Prizes Ofered. Miss Lula Walker—“Ruth, translate the next sentence in Cicero?” Ruth Owen—“I threw my arm about him and—, Miss Walker, that was as far as I could get.” Miss Walker—“Quite far enough. Marth.a, you try it.” CHEERFULNESS Cheerfulness is something that does not cost anything, yet it is worth a nallion dollars. It makes life worth living, it makes work worth while, and it makes a person a joy to his friends. All of us have difficulties, but, if we face them cheerfully, we are sure to win. Why not always wear a smile? It is just as cheap as a frown, yet a smile lets in sunshine while a frown makes everything look dark. Cultivate cheerfulness, be a builder of it. It does not matter what your station is in life if you always meet it cheerfully. Cheerfulness indicates a healthy mind and a healthy body. Often our cheerfulness helps others to be happy, helps them to meet their trials, so let’s remember, that no matter what our work may be, it ir, not a crime to smile or be cheer- t’jl in our work. Remember the old saying, “Life is a mirror; smile at it ’ DOROTHN’- MINK, ’24. MY SCHOOL BOOKS. The Geometry book is still and cold As on the shelf it lies. The Cicero book is green with mold. As time with wing’d steps flies. Time was when many hours I spent Making A B equal D, Or Catiline threatened the senators By making a conspiracy. Ay, faithful to these I always was. Each day in the same old way. Awaiting the marks I was to get. Fearing what mother would say. But thank heavens these books are still and cold. And lying where they belong. And I’m as happy as happy can be. For life is one glad song. ELIZABETH DAVIS, ’2 4. Every high school student has a chance to win a medal this year. There are several contests open for entrance now. Two prizes are of fered for both the boys and the girls in the annual “Declamation and Reading Contest.” The local chapter of the D. A. R. is offering two medals. One is to be given to the member of the Senior class making the highest record in American history. The other is to be given to the high school student, who writes the best essay on the fol lowing subject: “George Washington’s Trip Through North Carolina.” L. H. S. now has an opportunity of entering the “National Good Roads” essay contest. This is the first year rhat Lexington High School has had this privilege. The subject of the essay must be: “The Influence of the Highway Transport Upon the Religi ous Life of My Community.” The writer of the best essay in the United States will be awarded the H. S. Firestone scholarship, which pays the tuition and all reasonable ex penses, in any college, for four years. It is hoped that a large number of students will take a part in these con tests So that the winners will really de.serve their prizes. JOHN ANDREW, ’24. The Camp Fire Play The Waukelo Camp Fire .girls gave a play Friday night, April 13th. The ;iame of the play was the “Call of Wohelo.” It showed in a small way how Camp Fire Girls live and act. On account of the rain there was not a very barge crowd, but those who were there seemed to be very much pleased with the entertainment. FRANCES THOMPSON, ’25. Mrs. Harbison—“What part of .speech is the pronoun you?” Miss Brannock can now be heard at almost any hour of the day, sing ing, “Way Down in Georgia, My Dear Oid South (er) land.”
