L. H. S. Makes
a Fine Record
The football season is over. Lex
ington High has made a great rec
ord this year, better than any for
mer years. Eight games were
played this year. Of these L. H.
S. was victor five tim,es, tied one
game and lost two, one of these by
a score of 7 to 6 and the other by
3 to 0.
The first game of the season
was played at Thomasville with
the Thomasville Baptist Orphange
team. The Lexington team ran
rough-shod over the other team,
and, while on the defense, held
the (uphaimge loi downs every-
time. Hutchins vv^as the individual
star for Lexington. As had been
expected, the game merely furnish
ed practice fur the locals, the final
■score sumding S3 to 0 in our favor.
The next game, the first real
contest of the season, was played
at Mount Airy. Lexington enter
ed the game a little over-confident.
Although our team outplayed Mt.
Airy throughout the game, a long
end run by the opposing quarter
back and a drop kick made the
score stand 7 to 6 against us, our
touchdown being made in the
third quarter after a series of line
plays.
The following Friday, Burling
ton was defeated by the score of
13 to 6. The team did not display
it’s customary pei3 and drive.
Burlington was kept on the de
fense, however, during the whole
game. Their only touchdown came
on a long end run.
The High Point eleven was met
next at High Point. This Was one
of the hardest fought games of the
season. A Lexington touchdown
was made by Vestal on a 80 yard
run at the beginning of the game.
COACH HUNT
For us the football season of
1925 is closed. Looking back
upon the records, we feel am
ply justified in saying that the
season just past has been the
most successful in the history
of our High School. For this
record, the members of the
team attempt to claim no credit.
We can say that we did our
best, but that is all. The one
to whom all honor and credit
is due is . Coach John Hunt, and
to him each member of the
High School squad joins in ex
tending a most grateful appre
ciation. His was the task at the
beginning of the season to whip
a none too experienced squad
into shape, and to get out of
it the best and most consistent
football possible. How well he
accomplished that task is de
monstrated by the record of
5 games won, 2 lost, and 1 tied.
Wle’re for Coach Hunt to a
man. His untiring energy, his
admirable ijatience, his cool,
firm discipline, his likeable per
sonality, his splendid manhood,
his sterling qualities of leader
ship, and his thorough knowl
edge and advocacy of clean,
scientific football have drawn
us all closer to him, and have
made us better, stronger human
beings for having played the
game under his virile manly
leadership.

Needed—An All-
Time Librarian
Louise; “I can’t remember the
words to that new song.”
Mr. Thompson; “That’s fine.
Now all you’ve got to do to make
home happy is to forget the tune.”

On class with him.”
The library is supposed to be the
workshop of the High School. One
of the greatest needs of our High
School is the undivided time of a
librarian; one who is caioable of
running the library on a sound
business basis, just as he would run
his own business; one who would
take pride and interest in keep
ing the library in order, and one
who would work, not only for the
money there is in it, but for the
benefit of the entire High School
My idea” of an ideal library is
one where absolute silence r-’igns;
where every student is at work. It
should be a place where tji,> rules
of the library are observed. The
books should be kept neatly, many
of our books are handled roughly,
and are soon torn up. This can
readily be seen by inspecting the
library.
Many books have been misplac
ed this ye:ix'. Several books register
ed in the library are gone, and
cannot be found anywhere. Per
haps, some student or students,
have taken these books home, and
have neglected to bring them back
These books are somewhere! But
books are not supposed to go o t
of the library without the kn 'w-
ledge of the librarian. The
librarian should take the .lanio of
the person borrowing the book,
and if it is not returned by him,
he should be held responsible for
it. Students who take books out
of the library without the knowl
edge of the librarian, and without
having it placed oif record, abso
lutely desregard one of the mu.s,
important rules of the library. The
best remedy of this situation is a
whole time librarian. When a
student wants a book, he should
