VF L. H. S. vs WINSTON THERE 8:00 P. M. TONIGHT The Lexhipep Published by the Students of Lexington High School VOL. XII. LEXINGTON, N. C., OCT. 13, 1933 No. 1 Lexington Bowls Over Lincolnton Lexington High football team, under the new coaches. Sink and Young, played impressive football and as a re sult opened the home season with a bang, defeating Lincolnton 19 to 0. The whole student body of more than 750 students attended the game, setting an example of school spirit that should be equaled at the rest of the games here. The students march ed to the field and while marching let the people of Lexington come to rea lize the size of the now combined Jun ior and Senior High School. The tallies for Lexington were made in the first, second and fourth quar ters. The first period score was made by Bailey with a beautiful run of 60 yards. The second period score was made possible by Hal Green with a scamper of 39 yards, aided by good in terference, which placed the ball in scoring position. Nice work by the en tire backfield put the ball on the 7 yard line where a plunge by Bailey scored. Green passed to Rogers for extra point. The Lincolnton team in the third quarter put up a game scrap, but were unable to score. Only once were they in .scoring position and that abruptly ended by the interception of a pass by Myers. A combination of line smashing and passing scored for Lexington in the fourth. Yank Green passed to Bailey (Continued on Page Four) THE STUDENT PARADE New Junior Senior L. H. S. Has New High Off To Fine Start “As a result of the excellent team work of faculty and students and trustees the new Junior-Senior High School is getting off to a fine start," was Superintendent Honeycutt’s ob servation when approached by mem bers of the Lexhipep staff yesterday. “It is no easy job to organize a Junior- Senior High School along lines of the best modern practice at any time and certainly at a time when so many ad justments are required under the new state school laws,” continued the sup erintendent. “I congratulate every member of the Junior High on being the first to inaugurate the Junior High program. You have shown a wonder ful spirit of cooperation and under standing. I have heard much favor able comment by faculty members of the superior understanding of Lexing ton students and their exceptionaliy courteous and helpful attitudes. For this and all the good work now in progress I am most grateful and wish the Lexhipep Staff a great record m their efforts to interpret the school program and give the significant news to your readers.” Among the events that added much to the Home Coming Day of Lexing ton High last Friday was the Student Parade, with the entire High School participating. The students marched in a body two-a-breast from the school to Main Street and thence to Cecil Field to attend the football game. The procession was led by the High School Band and its Director, W. M. Jolly. Following this, was the student council headed by the President, W. M. Wilson. Next came the Senior High with each class led by its presi dent. The Junior High followed in like manner. This parade marked a new event in the history of the school and it is hoped to be made an annual affair. LIBRARY There is this year for the first time in the history of the Lexington High School an all-time Librarian. Mrs. W. H. Phillips has been elected to this position. The library is to be used exclusively for a library instead of a study as for merly. Every pupil will be allowed to go to the library at least three times a week. Five lessons will be given in li brary science to each pupil during the year. Five hundred new books have been added to the library making a total of three thousand books. There are four teen magazines and three daily papers. The blackboards have been removed and book shelves have been placed around all of the wall. The entire room, including the walls and wood work, has been painted. All the tables have also been painted and sixty chairs have been bought to match the tables. Due to these additions and improve ments, the library has taken on an en tirely new appearance. Manual Art Dept. The new department, which has been installed in Lexington High School this year for the first time, is known as Manual or Industrial Art. It is headed by Mr. Neal Adkins, who has come to us from the Eastern Illi nois State College. He taught here for a year after graduating, substituting for a professor away on a year’s leave of absence. Mr. Adkins was able ro secure this position owing to his ex cellent scholastic record as a student. Upon being asked his definition of Manual Arts, Mr. Adkins replied that he considered it to be a study of changes and processes in many indus trial materials for human consumption and a medium through which funda mental principles are taught. Among the courses which are to be offered during the year are ones in mechanical engineering and architec tural drawing. Development of the shop will also be carried on. Mr. Adkins feels that the equipment and drawing facilities provided will prove most adequate in accomplishing his outline of work for the year. He also states that he is very well pleased with the cooperative spirit in which he and his work have been re ceived and hopes that the Department of Manual Art will become a perma nent feature of the High School extra curricular activities. The students enrolled in this new department report that the work is in teresting and we feel sure that Mr. Ad kins will become one of our most pop ular and well liked instructors. NOTED AUTHORITY TALKS A colorful entertainment was given ■Wednesday afternoon in the high school auditorium by Harold Loring, a nationally recognized authority on In dian Music, legends, and customs. It was a very educational program in which the American Indian was por trayed vividly in both story and song. This interesting program was brought to us by the Student Government Council. The statesman of the future will no longer boast that he was born in a log cabin. He will begin his autobiogra phy: “My people were a one car fam ily.”
