Our New Coaches
Thursday morning the Lexington
High School Student Council was com
pleted with the following officers be
ing elected: President, William Wil
son; Vice President, Harold Harrison;
Senior High representative, Prank
Green; Junior High representative,
Jean Witherspoon.
The following students were selected
to serve their respective home rooms
as council members; Seventh grade,
Bobbie Hill, Warren Huit, Clara Ann
Miller, Fred Lee, Lutelle Wallace;
freshman class, Howard Adair, Henry
Etta Link, Caroline Richardson, Sam
Cecil, R. S. Troxler; sophomore class,
Margaret Miller, Leonard Craver, Dud
ley Newman, Elleanor Farmer; junior
class, Jenny Berrier, Frank Holton,
Doris Smith; Senior class, George Mc-
Carn and Virginia Pritts.
The outstanding motives of the Stu
dent Government are to promote a
special extra-curricula program under
the guidance of the student council
that will touch every member of the
school. Special emphasis is being
placed upon the importance of promot
ing the theory of citizenship and
school spirit by participating in all
school activities.
Lexington High School considers it
self very fortunate in having been able
to secure the services of two such fine
coaches as Messrs. Tom Young and Joe
Sink. Last year most of the students
had a very pessimistic outlook on this
year’s athletic season since both Mr.
Greason and Mr. Neese were to leave.
However, conditions seemed brighter
when we learned who the new coaches
were to be. Coach Young is a Caro
lina. graduate. He taught and coached
for three years at Smithfield. Last
year he trained one of Lexington's
strongest opponents, Monroe. This year
we believe he has trained, and is con
tinuing to train, a football team that
will win its fame on the gridiron.
Young is most ably assisted by Coach
Joe Sink who comes to Lexington High
from Duke University, where for sev
eral years he played with the Varsity.
Lexington High wishes to extend a
hearty welcome to both coaches and to
express their appreciation for what
they are doing.
Late to bed and early to rise,
Keep your big brother
Prom wearing your ties.

Bows To Barium
On Friday, September 29th, Lexing
ton met defeat on the Barium Field
at the hands of Barium Springs team.
A very costly fumble by Bailey at the
first of the game gave the ball to Bar
ium on Lexington’s 26 yard line. In
two plays the ball was carried across
for a touchdown, the only score. A
placement kick having failed, the ball
was kicked off again. During the re
mainder of the game, the ball went
from one side to the other. At the end
of the half, Lexington was on Bar
ium’s 5-yard line with third down and
goal to go. Barium threatened again
to score in the last quarter, but Lex
ington recovered the ball and the
game ended with the final score; Lex
ington 0, Barium 6. Lexington sur
passed Barium in first downs, having
ten to the latter’s four.
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Under the direction of W. M. Jolly,
the Lexington High School band has
started the year with twenty-seven
members. Their first appearance was
in chapel the opening morning of
school when they rendered several se
lections. Last Friday the band led the
school parade and played during the
football game. The music added much
to the pep and it is possible that the
band will accompany the team on some
of the trips as well as playing for all
the home games. A drive is now being
made for new members and all who
are interested are urged to join.
