Wake Forest Glee Seniors Organize
Club Pleases Dramatic Club
The Wake Forest Glee Club, which
appeared at the Auditorium Tuesday
evening, December 2, was very much
enjoyed by all. Those who did not
hear the talented young men missed
a rare treat. Presenting a program
of orchestral, humorous and classi
cal selections, the Club made a very
great impression..
Although the whole performance
was good; selections given by Mr.
Skinner and Mr. Savage were out
standing features of the evening. Ap
pearing in the majority of the num
bers, they showed their “stuff” and
proved that their Alma Mater con-'
tains some real artists. Another
noticeable feature was the unusual
pep displayed.
The Club is touring the State in a
large motor bus and was brought here
under the auspices of the Baraca and
Philathea Classes of the F.rst Bap
tist Church. From here the Club
went to Mars Hill and then to Ashe
ville.
On Tuesday, December the second
the Senior class met to organize a
Senior Dramatic Club. The meeting
was called to order by the president
and the floor was open for the elec
tion of officers. The following were
elected: Dick Walser, president:
Florence Swaim, vice-president; and
Dwight Johnson, secretary and Treas.
Program committee— Bob Raker,
Stephanie Bragaw, Miss Walker, Mr.
Hunt.
It was decided to give some sort
of entertainment once a month and
charge a small admission fee, there
by making some money for tlie class.
The meeting was then adjourned.
L.H.S. Defeats Concord
Last Friday night the Lexington
High School girls basket ball team
defeated the girls from Concord High
School 24 to 15 in an exceedingly ex
citing and well played game Lex
ington kept the lead for most of the
game, but there never was a time
when they were far enough ahead
to make it one-sided or uninteresting.
The work of Miss Varner was out
standing for the visitors, while the
play of the Lexington girls was fea
tured by the smooth team-work of
the entire team. Virginia Smith led
In the scoring.
This was the first game of the sea
son and also the first game '.hat has
been played in the new Lexington
High School Gymnasium.

Didn’t I tell you to stop and count
one hundred whenever, you were an
gry?”
Herbert—“But it didn’t do no good
ma. Look what the Jone.s boy did
while I counted.”
Judge Olive Visits Us
Last week, Lexington High School
had a visit from one of her old friends
Mr. Olive. Although this was Mr.
Olive’s first visit this year, all of us
remembered him and some of the
splendid talks that he gave us.
His talk v^as mostly about good
losers and winners and he referred
us to an article in the American mag
azine by Edgar Grest. He praised
our foot-ball team and the coach, a
cherished allusion: but he said that
none of us wanted to know that L.
H. S. would win every time because,
if we did, there would not be as much
enthusiasm, pep, and yelling, which
is a part of the game.
He used as an example, IVake For
est, and Carolina, telling what good
losers the Caro'llna men wore.
He told us many things about Wake
Forest, and concluded by tolling us
what a good Glee Club Wake Forest
had, and advising us all to come and
hear them sing.
Those of us who come were well
rewarded, because it was a treat com
parable to any we have received this
year.

The Old Pig Skin
and L. H. S.
With four fine victories and three
stinging defeats the Orange and Blue
closed her fifth year in high school
football, which was marked by the
fighting spirit that is always shown
in every contest that is played un
der the name of Lexington High
School.
With only fair prospects, the
charges of Coach Robbins entered
upon a hard scedule, but with a de
termination to do their best.
In the opening game with Leaks-
ville, the eleven played, undoubtedly,
the best game of season sending
“Moose” Tenney and his team back
with a 27 to 0 defeat. This was
thought before hand to be a very
close game, but in the fiist few min
utes of the first quarter Lexington
easily demonstrated her superiority.
With the attack centering around
Gene Young, we smashed the line
and arched the ends for four hard
earned touchdowns.
The next game with High Point
is a sad story. The Pointers brought
over a bunch of “ringers,” and ex
perienced players and licked us 13
to 0; but it may be said that neither
of these touchdowns was earned
In comparison with other games
played by this “ringer” team, Lex
ington held them well and deserves
credit for the game.
The contest with our old enemy,
Salisbury, was also lost, but this was
a new thing for them because this
is the first victory they have gained
over us in five years. The score
was 13 to 6 but this gives but a poor
idea of the game. We made nine
first downs to their three, but old
fate turned the trick and they picked
up a fumble and blocked a punt and
turned each into a touchdown. Lex
ington scored when Berrier inter
cepted a pass and dished by four
men and for sixty yards to the last
tute in the line, no matter what po
sition, Bob Chitty could always fill
the bill. He was a valuable utility
man. and could play any position on
the team.
Pat Young was in general an all'
round utility back-field man. H®
