LEXINGTON, N. C., APRIL 7, 1925
We wonder what new excitement
will arise to keep L. H. S. awake
after the track meet is over. For
some time everyone has been inter
ested in the triangular debate, and
now that this event is over, atten
tion is centered more fully on the
track meet. Tennis, also, is begin
ning to claim notice, so after all the
students may not have any time to
sleep before examinations and com
mencement.
GUTZON borgli:m
The quarrel between Gutzon Bor-
glum and the Stone Mountain Mem
orial has an Interest that ranks far
above the ones that are involved in
it. The quarrel as it stand? is evi
dently between a body of ignorant
persons and a sculptor who knows his
business. Gutzon Borgtum is the
only man to finish the job, since an
other artist cannot work by the plans
of an artist such as Gutzon Borglum.
Georgia as a whole is for Mr. Bor
glum. It is just a few peopie in At
lanta, who have filled the newspapers
with falsehoods.
North Carolina has a good opinion
of Gutzon Borglum and hi.s great
work and will stand by him till the
last. He has been heartily endors
ed by everyone that has heard him
speak.
Mr. Borglum is a nationally known
sculptor and is the only ni.an to fin
ish the work on Stone Mou.ntain. He
is one who believes in the South and
wants to see this great work finish
ed. He has visions of the time when
the “fast thinning lines of the blue
and the gray” can gather with their
son’s and daughters to pay tribute to
such great leaders as Lee and Jack-
son.
DUKE GLEE CTA’B
Gutzon Borglum was the guest of
the Lexington Rotary Club, March 24.
He gave an interesting talk on the
great work on Stone mountain.
He gave a good desc-lption of
Stone Mountain. This mountain, he
said, is over 860 feet high and the
face of it is a sheer wall of solid
granite, without crack or flaw, 600
feet high. The design itself is about
the middle of the mountain It is
over 200 feet high and st.-etches up
to 500 feet on the mountain side. It
is 1.350 feet long. The figure of Lee
on horseback is 138 feet hign It is
21 feet high from Lee’s chi 1 to the
top of his hat. Gutzon Ber.glum has
siient many months on this work of
just jilanning how large the design
should be, and has made a great suc
cess of it.
It was a beautiful night
To make love to the girl you love so
dear.
But when time had come for me to
leave
’Twas the saddest moment of the year.

IDuke University Glee Club de
lightfully entertained a large audi
ence, Thursday evening, in the High
School Auditorium. That afternoon
at chapel, we were given a sample
tre.at, and almost everybody decided
to come for the real thing. The
musical clubs were composed of the
glee club, orchestra, string club, “The
.Dukes”, and saxophone trio, also a
quartet. The whole club was splen
did, but the string club and “The
Dukes” were the most popular. The
entertainment was certainly worth
the price and all who went enjoyed
it very much.
An excellent French delicacy is
“smashed potatoes”.

Wood is getting hard, (hard-wood).

Did Owen Victoria smoke? The
English teacher says she was crazy
about “Prince Albert”.

The debaters that went to Mount
Airy should have had a good time,
(chaperones also).

Dwight says “mites” should be in
the top of a cave for they mite fall
at any time.
• • *
Seniors couldn’t take many written
lessons like the one they had Friday.

Only eight more weeks until it will
be good-bye to Library periods!—for
ever for us.

Miss Martin- watches some people
as the proverbial hawk watches the
proverbial chicken.

If you wonder at the scarcity of
Lex-O-Lights—here is the leason. Mr.
Hunt asked us to leave him out this
time.
The sun was sinking in the west
The moon began to rise,
Tlie stars shone bright over head
In the deep blue sky.
It was a beautiful night
And out in the swing we .sat
The hours were growing old
But the stars were .shining yet.
The night was almost gone
And morning was alm,ost here.
But the night I spent out in the swing
Was the sweetest of the year.
Printed CARDS
We will be glad to
supply Seniors and
others with Print
ed cards. They cost
much less than en
graving and look
about as well—few
people can tell the
difference.
