i FEBRUARY 20, 1925 THE LEXHIPEP PAQE FIVE Is rainy; But let her catch a glimpse of Byron Lopp, And out a sunny smile will pop. MARY BELLE EVERHART The belle of the gym, is Mary Belle, As any basket-ball player can tell; But one day when in her glory she fell She mum'bled something that sound like "ell.” LELAND BECK A talkative kid is Leland Beck, And poor old Ros. is sure hen-pecked; She makes him listen to all her blab. But a chance to be with her he’ll al ways grab. GRACE ELIZABETH LINDSAY A natural beauty is the accomplished Grace, There is no make-up about her face; Water and soap are the cosmetics she uses And powder and paint she always re fuses. LITERARY SOCIETY PARTY Last Friday night the Senior boys played the rest of the High School in basket-ball. The teams were made up of some of the regular players and others, who were not members of the team. The Seniors were beaten by a score of 24 - 23. This was a close game all the way through, but as the Juniors were victorious we are great ly pleased. Our High School cafeteria needs more support. Some complain that there is not a sufficient variety of food, and therefore buy their lunches in town at another place, while if they would spend their money at the cafeteria, a greater variety could be supplied there. Do we want our cafeteria to be a success? Then let’s patronize it. LEXINGTON DEFEATS ASIIEBORO February sixth, Lexington girls won an easy victory over Asheboro girls here. Lexington team showed good team-work and accurate shoot ing that made the score 45 to 17, most of which was made by Louise Thompson, who did good playing during the entire game. Mary Belle Everhart also played a good game. LEXINGTON DEFE-ATS THOMAS- YILLE February 3, Lexington girls de feated the Thomasville girls with a score of 36 to 22. The local girls stayed far ahead of their opponents till the third quarter when their op ponents crept up but with not enough score to defeat them. ST. VALENTINE’S DAY The custom of Valentine’s Day is a very old one. It is similar to feasts which were held in the Roman Su- percalia, and is famous as a lover’s festival. It was observed particu larly in England, mention of it be ing found as far back as Chancer. The custom was to place the names of boys and girls in a box and draw them out in pairs on St. Valentine’s Eve. Those whose names were drawn together had to exchange presents and be "Valentines" for a year. Later, only the men gave presents. St. Valentine’s day is very different now from the observ ance in those days, although its spirit of fun and jollity is still present. DRINK IN BOTTLES LEX-O-LIGRTS On last Friday evening, the two literary societies. Alpha Gamma (girls) and Alpha Zeta (boys) had a most delightful party in the cafeteria. The room was very pretty decorated in red and white, carrying out the Valentine idea. Streamers were hung from all sides of the room to * the center, where there was a large red hear. On ofie side of the room, punch was served, during the evening, frorh a table draped in hearts. Many fas cinating games were played. Among them were, pinning as near to the center as possible, a small heart on a large one, wink, Phario’s army, five minute dates and others. Towards the close of the party, cake and ice cream were served. Everyone re ported a very good time. A committee should be appointed to escort some members of the fac ulty to the gyminasium as they don’t seem to know where it is. "The war has been renewed." Be cautious as you walk down the J^ull a hand may reach out and grab you at any time. Mary Lil would be glad if Mr. Hunt would get about six inches "little” so she could throw him o.ut of the win dow.
