By this she means the apathy, or lack of interest, the local citizens stem to have in regards to the condition of vie streets, apearance of va cant lot#, disposal of garbage d the general appearance of the town. One case sited as . v.mple was Lucama, a town rhere the citizens vie with one . mother, it seems, in clean-up vimpaigns, etc. We do not de :y; the Jlact that our town is somewhat lacking along those dines, but we do invite compari son with Any neighboring town and as for Lucama, it is too far, nmoved to give any trouble as a rival in civic improvement. With the advent of spring, the Clean-Up Campaign might be advocated by the teachers, and c arried into effect by the pupils who do all the work, any way, iind thus much good might be accomplished. It is the conjec ture of the writer that this will he thetcase. "| SOPH DOPE BOILED DOWN; Many highly entertaining ar ticles contribute^ by the Sophs were crowded out this week, o v. ing to lack of space. It is with regret that the Staff finds it necessary to omit some of them t hnt the number of contributi on:; were so large that all cou ld not be published. I FOUR SENIORS ENTER TRI ANGULAR DEBATE Our school is represented this year in the Annual Trian gular Debate by four seniors, namely; Earle Lawrence, Iva Parker, Margaret . Copeland. mid Feye Gerock. The query: Resolved that the United States Should enter the League of Na tions," is a national question, 6f interest to all, and with am ple grounds for debate on both sides. It is predicted that the event will be more of interest, and will command greater at tention than those of preced ; i ig years. The debaters win ning at the preliminary contest I ill be sent to Chapel Hill to Compete for the cup. The four Demosthenes have the "rep" of I eing able to "deliver the goods tied in pink cord and charged |> the old mat's account, and : ftve expressed their intention if "bringing home the bacon" from Chapel Hill.
