The imit is international in respect, as it is an organization within the Young Woman’s Christian Asso ciation for girls from twelve to eigh teen. The work to be taken up is es pecially planned to meet the educa tional and recreational needs of the members of the club. Since the Girl Reserve is a new un dertaking, the organization will be formed only in the Senior High. It will consist of girls from the tenth and eleventh grades. The list of mem bers has not been entirely completed but an announcement relative to this The entire faculty and student body of Lexington High School received a great shock last Tuesday when it be came knowm that Lillian Bernhardt had failed to survive a delicate opera tion performed at John Hopkins Hos pital early that morning. Although her operation and probable illness had been expected, great sadness attended the news of her death. Lil was one of the best loved and most popular young girls in the high school, as well as in Lexington. Her attractive manner and cheerful dispo sition gained for her scores of friends ev^erwhere. Liilian was a member of the present Junior Class, having come up as one of it’s number for the last six years. She has endeared herself to the hearts of every other one of its students and the class as a whole feels its loss deep ly. Having found an operation advisable, similar to the one which she under went six years ago, plans were formed accordingly and she was carried to Baltimore last Sunday night by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Bern hardt. Until the last Lil retained her HI-Y ACTIVITIES Last Friday, Lexington High De feated Hickory High 13 to 6, in a con test featured by sensational long runs. A 75 yard run in the third period by Bailey accounted for Lexington’s first score. P. Green’s placement kick was successful making the score 7-0. Per ry of Hickory ran the kick-off a mo ment later back for a touchdown. Try for the extra point failed and the half ended with the score: Lexington 7, Hickory 6. The second period opened with Hick ory kicking off to Lexington. Bailey grabbed the ball and raced 80 yards down the sideline for the second score. Try for the extra point failed. For the rest of the game the ball was car ried by one side and then the other, with no score. Yost, star punter for Hickory, played a whirlwind game for Hickory and got away several fine punts, one for 60 yards. For the locals Bailey did ex- celient work in the backfield, while Bowers, Hinkle and Rogers featured in the line. As for the past few years. Hickory has been what might be called a thorn in Lexington’s side, this victory was especially pleasing to local fans. A very good representation from Lexing ton cheered the team on to victory. This week, Nevember 6 to 12, the schools of Lexington have been observ ing American Education Week. Lex- ii;gton High School has participated in this ceiebration by having special programs all the week during classes and assemblies. American Education Week first be gan in 1919. After the world war the American Legion formed an Ameri canism organization. One of its first steps was to confer with the National Education association in regard to sti mulating the interest of the public in plans for Better Schools. American Education Week grew out of such a conference. The first observance was held in the month of December but in 1926 it was changed to the week in November which included Armistice Day. The American Legion, the Nat ional Education Association and the United States office of Education spon sor this annual celebration. The ob jective of the American Education Week is to have a period each year set aside so that parents may visit the school in order to come in closer con tact with the students.
