E. H. S. IVIAKES A FINE
RECORD
(Continued from page 1)
Ing, our boys fought on, never
flinching, never fouling, but al
ways playing the game clean and
hard. We are justly proud of
them.
INCREASED SCHOOL SPIRIT
In the third quarter, High Point
came back and drove over her on
ly touchdown. The Orange and
Blue, then fought their hardest. A
second touchdown was made, after
a straight drive down the field.
Wthen the game ended the score
stood: Lexington 33; High Point
6.
Then came the big game of the
season for the locals. Smarting
under 4 consecutive defeats by
the Salisbury team Lexington came
back and reversed the situation,
defeating the Rowan Boys by the
score of 3 to 6. Salisbury was
outplayed by our team, in every
department of the game.
Next, Miooresville was trampled
under foot by the locals. The score,
13 to 0, does not tell the Whole
story of the game, for the locals
merely toyed and played with their
opponents. At no time were they
pushed to their utmost strength.
Two other games, with Badin
and Mebane, had to be cancelled
on account of the championship
race being started. In the first
game of the championship, Lex
ington and Salisbury again met,
this time under the worst playing
conditions that could possibly have
been. The game was played in a
steady rain and in very cold weath
er. There was nothing spectacu
lar about the playing of either
side. The game ended in a tie
6-6. Salisbury’s touchdown came
by way of a recovered fumble
Lexington scored in the third quar
ter on straight football.
The second game of the cham
pionship was played at Specer
the following Tuesday. Lexington
lost by the score of 3-0. This
ended the season. During this
year, L. H. S. scored 98 points
aga.inst a total of 34 for the oppos
ing teams. ^nly once was Lex
ington’s goal line crossed by any
other means than fumbles and for
ward passes. Only High Point
was able to drive the ball across
by straight football. The team
this year has made a name for
itself and has placed honor on
L. H. S. Whether winning or los-

THE SUNSET
In the past month, there has
been a very notlcable Increase in
the pep and spirit of students in
the school. There have been
greater crowds of students at the
football games than in other sea
sons. Hitherto, only the girls
would cheer our team on. But
now, every student, whether boy
or girl, joins in the yells and in
the songs of old L. H. S. This
is something that has never hap
pened before, at least not in the
last four years. It is fine that the
students think enough of their
team to stand in the rain, as they
did at the Salisbury game, and
cheer for victory. This shows real
school spirit. We have always
had it in our student body. But
only now is it showing itself. The
cheer leaders and whoever else has
instilled this spirit into our student
body, are to be congratulated. The
team appreciates it. It is the true
spirit of L. H. S. We hope that
in the coming basketball and
baseball seasons, as well as in the
other just as important phases of
school activity, this same spirit
will prevail.
A m-Y CLUB
The sun is groriously setting
Midst th: purple clouds of the west
It has fringed them with gold,
And they mock the world.
With all its wealth and wickedness.
So carefully they are draped.
As to hide the face
Of tlie sun as it sinks to rest
Behind the violet sheen.
That quickly fades into a dream
And its beauty changes;
Now it leaves them gray
With a bronzed hue.
Yet they fade not in beauty and
splender
The twilight falls.
The moon noisely calls.
And the stars are bright, yet
tender.
—Thelma Hedrick.
This school had a Hi-Y Club last
year, why not this year. The club
was a success in every way. It
helped the students, both physi
cally and mentally. With a good
leader like Mr. Estes it grew from
twelve charter members to a group
of over thirty hoys.
Many graduated last ysK. that
belonged to the club, but otjough
old members remain to sta*->. the
club again. Why don’t we? What
we need to start is a good leader
out of the faculty. There are sev
eral likely candidates and they
would be glad to take over the
work.
The club has a meeting i ,iom,
supplied with all necessities. Most
■ of the officers had been elected last
year. What is the matter with the
club that it has not already start
ed? The rest of the schools have
started, we don’t want them to
think us slackers. Come on, gang,
let’s get together and make the Hi-
Y Club a success this year.
