She sponsors the Subdeb group of Girl Reserves, the Home Er club and takes an avtive interest in church and in professional clubs of the community. Her greatest ambition for the year is to get at least a glimpse of the New York World's Fair. Her hobbies, col- lecting recipes and doing needlework, look very suspicious, don't you think? BLNA BEAL-Spanish Inquiring into the desires and ambitions of our new second-semester English and Spanish instruct- or, we tind hi-r greatest ambition to be a trip to Europe. For thc present, though, Miss Beal is content to teach. She has taken over Miss Lewis' Girl Reserve sponsorship. She enjoys sports, dra- ma, poetry and bird study.

NVe contend that she strikes Father Time ont of several extra hours every day so she can do more for others. Miss Soker's ambi- tion is to have all the time and money to do any- thing she likesiread, travel, paint and have a good time.

He sponsors the F. F. club, natal assisted with football in the fall. Ile hots an 0 ive in each of several state voca- tional agrit-ultural organizations of which he is a member.

We said, If you were to bore a hole through the center of the earth, you would not come out in China, as many people think, but in Austral- ia. We should have said, Two hundred miles off the coast of Aus- tralia. If a miss is as good as a mile, what does that make two hun- dred miles? Two hundred misses? Oh, Mr. Holbein, where's your wife? Pls bk Pk :DF Honor roll students are becom- ing extinct in L.H.S. among the upper classmen. Of course this is the pheasant season, but who has been issuing licenses to shoot our intellegentsia in the upper three classes? if Pk S4 im- l wrote a letter to his sisters the other day and said, The pheasant season opened Sunday and there are 500 hunters in Lexington. We have two in the refrigerator and I think mother is going to roast one for you girls. Open season on hunters, too, -l- l--'? Do we open other people's letters in the Clarion office? No, but we open our own. 214 wk S Sir Galahads are not extinct: ,Last Wednesday a prominent senior girl had to be at school at! e'ght o'clock. Liking her handker- chiefs to match her dress, she hunt- ed in vain for such a one. Her small brother, Sir Galahad to you, took a clean handkerchief from the family clothes basket, heated the iron and presto! Jumping astride his flam- ing two-wheel charger, he overtook this dark-haired maiden, produced the t'hanky and escorted his charm- ing sister to her castle, L.H.S. if 9F als iw' Mother Lexington scans the far- flung educational horizon to let her glance rest on Doane College. According to the Doane Owl, the highlight of the freshman initiation was the onion-eating contest. A team of boys was lined up against the wall and 10 girls were chosen to feed them onions to make them strong. The prize was a slice of bread and was awarded to Rod 'Suzabelle' Widneyf' We defy any student at Doane of at any other college to out-eat Rod whether it be onions or cactus. Sales of activity tickets have mounted to 370 - highest number ever sold in L.H.S. That the popu- lar price of 51.50 is the cause is evident.

Hugh received one A-plus and three A's g Ethel, three A's. Frances Howell, sophomore, is the only connecting link between the seniors and the fresthmen. Her A- plus and three A's give her the distinction of outranking all juniors and other sophomores. xg' The Cozad high school news writing class is now publishing a mimeographed paper called Rik- A-Myah. To get that musical sound- ing title they simply put a Hay- maker in reverse. Sounds all right but what if they start calling it 'The VVreck. SPIZ IN REGALIA ADD TONE TO McCOlOK RALLY Dogs Take Spotlight 'Everybody hollered! Everybody screamed! Everybody yelled for the football team. On Friday morning, October 14, L.H.S. adjourned to the football field for a rally at 11:30. The Spiz were already there in their orange and black cloaks in the form of an L to greet the enthusiasmitists. With the aid of the Spiz, the stu- dents inhaled two new yells, one of which is used above with variations. The commotion behind the grand- stand was too much, and the stu- dents rushed over to the side, leav- ing the cheer leaders staring at ,empty seats. Q Into the- valley of battle rode Captain Hammond from Fairbanks, lAlaska, carted by his canine team to add that spirit of variety. At least he did his share in adding spice by reminding the students of the show, Spawn of the North, at the Majestic theater. When the Captain rode from the gridiron the pep seemed to follow him, and the noon whistle served as a dismissal bell. SPIZ FORM Lv IN INDOOR RALLY With three 'Rahs' and a 'Yeah Teaml' L.H.S. rooters upset the tra- ditional dope can of enthusiasm Fri- ,day afternoon at the pep rally in the auditorium. Cloaked in black and orange capes, the Spiz members, symboliz- wing the 'L' on the stage, used new members for the base of the letter and old members for the upright portion. Bob Bailey gave a resume of one of Bentley's columns on sportsman- ship in the Lincoln State Journal for October 19. The school song and lusty yells finished the twenty min- utes of roof-jarring loyalty for dear 'ol' high' against the Callaway troopers.
