LEXINGTON LOSES LAST
GAME TO CONCORD
Concord struck twice in the second
half, once after recovering a fumble
from one of our men, and again after
blocking a punt and recovering on
the Lexington 12-yard line, and down
ed Lexington for the first time in many
years, 14 ■ to 7. The players on our
team did very fine playing and led in
first downs ten to four and were in
the shadow of the goal about five
yards, and finally dropped it as he fell.
But we don’t hold this against you
Joe.
Again Lexington got in scoring posi
tion when Allen of Concord, who play
ed safety, touched a long punt by
Michael, and Horner and Huffman
covered it up in the enemy territory.
Hard hne bucking by “Shoe” Carlton
and Bill Myers punched the ball over,
Carlton made the most sensational
then Bill kicked the point. “Shoe”
pass catch on a bullet toss from “Spud”
Michael. “Doug” Horner, Joe Huff
man, Carl Parks, Cecil Johnson and
Ernest Osborne all had bright moments
in the line play.

ETIQUETTE
(By Etta Kett)
First to clear up the great, yet petit
problem—the topic of introductions. Is
the boy introduced to the girl or vice-
versa? Once and for all, the boy is
presented to the girl, thus: Miss Jones,
may I present Mr. Brown? Remem
ber, you Seniors, you might think you
know everyone this year but next year
it might be somewhat different, when
you go far from home.
How for some questions! Check
up on yourself and all who make per-
feet—stand up! (1) When a boy is
walking beside two or more girls, where
does he walk? Always, outside, re
gardless of the number of girls.
(2) Who speaks first, the boy or girl?
Generally speaking, the girl does. (3)
On which side does the boy sit while in
a car? On the left side. The girl
gets in first and sits on the right and
the boy sits on the left. (4) Does the
girl wait, while in a car, for her escort
to open the door? By all means, yes.
(5) Does the boy push the car horn
or the door bell? If a boy wants a
girl he should go to the door and push
the doorbell. A very silly thing to do
is to sit in the car and blow the horn.

TOAST TO MISS APPLE
I’m the most privileged one present
tonight
Because, for the last time
I give a toast to a teacher
Who soon leaves for another clime.
You have heard of crab apple and
horse apple
And the “Big Apple” and all the rest.
But anyone in L. H. S. will tell you
That Bernice Apple is the best.
She has led us and helped us and in
spired us
Both in seriousness and in fun.
And although she has worked dili
gently,
Her task was never done.
We’ll miss her terribly,
But selfishness would be dross;
So we give her up reluctantly,
To live happily with her “Cross”.
