{O’? Wciut The Lexhipep Published by the Students of Lexington High School VOL. IV. LEXINGTON, N. C., DECEMBER 4, 1925 No. 3 Football Letter men of 1925 at Lexington High School First comes Captain Nat Hunt, at left tackle, playing his fourth and best year for old L. M. S. He was the main strength of the line on both offense and defense and could always be depended upon. As Captain ho was most capable of the position, as he proved-through out the season. He was out of the last game of the season on account of an injured shoulder which he received in the first championship game. But L. H. S. is as proud of Nat as he is of his L. and the three stars. On the other side of the line, playing his third year, we find Joe M'ofRitt at right tackle. He played guard most of the season but when Capt. Hunt was ‘injured, he was shifted to tackle, and filled his new position perfectly, which goes to show that the position made no difference with him, and that whenever he was he was always giving all he had. Arthur “Fat” Myers held down the position of left guard, and al ways figured in the plays that came his way. He started off rather slow at the beginning of the season, but befor§ it was over he was in every game, with plenty of light and determination and hit ting ’em hard. Ask Salisbury. He will be back next year and should be of valuable service. Frank Smith, right guard, came out this season for his first year of football, but he brought with him all the fight he could get. He was an outstanding figure on both offense and defense and always got his man. He has two more years before him and should be a tower of strength in the line dur 1920 FOOTBALL CAPTAIN ELECTFU On Wednesday afternoon, at 3::50 a meeting was held to elect a Captain for the Orange and Blue Football team of 1926 Dick Cecil was given the honors. Cyrus McCrary was elected as sistant Captain. Both of these boys have played on the team for 2 years, Cecil at end and .McCrary at Halfback. ing these. Lester “Kid” Everhart filled the important position of center. His passing was always accurate and when a back fumbled it was not usually ,his fault. On the defense he figured in almost every play. He was the lightest man in the line but his, fight always made up for this. Dick “Caddy” Cecil, our fast de pendable right end, was the best man on the team at open tackling. He usually threw opposing teams for losses when they tried to go around his end, and on going down on punts he would get the man in his tracks. He was also good at grabbing passes anywhere in his reach. He was mentioned in some newspapers as ranking with the best ends of the State. Sink “Bud” Raker held down left end. Although he was not as fast and sure at tackling as Caddy Cecil, he charged back time and again and threw opponents for losses. Like Cecil, he was good at grabbing passes in the midst of opposing backs, as he did against Rotary Banquet Given Teachers On Tuesday evening, November 17th, the teachers of Erlanger School, Robbins School, and the High School were the guests at a banquet given in their honor by the Rotary club. Mr. Foster Hankins, as chairman of the pro gram, presided. Mr. Ray Mc Crary extended a welcome to the teachers in the form of a poem. Mr Lee Phillips introduced the Rotarians in a very unique man ner. There was plenty of entertain ment and amusement throughout the evening. A contest, in which appeared the names of all the Ro tarians was won by the Erlanger School. Then the teachers from each of the schools presented a “stunt,” which the Rotarians seemed to enjoy very much. This is one of the many pleasurable things the Rotary club does for the teachers each year, and it is one which is always looked for ward to and enjoyed by the teachers. OPEN FORLOVr (Continued on Pago 2) The Five Minute Period IToin Miy Point of View The five minute period, it seems to me, is given to the pupils for the purpose of changing classes, or to get books from their lockers, and not to go out and run up and down the hall and make all the noise they can. I think this privi lege should be more respected and used in the right, principal and fa culty will be much more pleased, and those down stairs will do much better work if we made less noise. Therefore let’s show our appreciation of this period and make it a great success. R. D. Y.
