Mr. Dale Cress' F.F.A. boys are to be congratulated for winning four prizes at the livestock show in Kan- sas City last week. Although there were no other en- tries from Nebraska, there was close competition from other states. Again we herald them for being pioneers for Nebraska in this growing enter- prise. Is there a special reason for Lex- ington's unusual record? There is. The teacher and the boys believe in what they're doing, and they do no little doing, Steady, earnest eHort marks the boys of this department. A compet- ent, unassuming, but sympathetic instructor sees clearly, directs ef- fectively. And the ribbons wave! RECIPE FOR CHARM Charm is composed of warmth, understanding, kindliness, and the human touch. These cannot be imi- tated but they can be acquired. Be yourself alwaysg perhaps the reason you feel ill at ease with people' is that you are pretending to be someone you are not. Do you practice kindness? Being a little kinder than necessary is a prize recipe for charm. Above all things, don't be so difficult to get along with that you have to be handled with gloves. Each one's ideal is to be charm- ing-to have personality and popu- larity. The tragedy comes when We, not realizing that each of us has a personality of our very own, copy another's voice or manner. This re- sults in a poor reproduction of someone else's personality. Personality is built by developing your good characteristics and sub- merging the bad ones. been studying 'bromides' and 'sul- phites' in the college preparatory English class, and as We have both in our school, it's a lot of fun when you take notice of them. Now We think that a lot is what you build your house on, but we, too, are interested in the con- quest of bores, and the deiiication of innovators. According to Stephen Leacock, UA Bromide is a person who can't help being a bromide- though on the other hand, he would- n't if he could. He's the fellow whose remarks are inevitable. You push a button and out pops his Automat pie. If it's hot after a rain, he always says, The temperature isn't so high, but it's the humidity in the air. He doesn't say it just once-oh, no, but every time it rains. If there is a beautiful sunset, he invariably says, 'tNow if an artist were to paint that, I'd say it was too brilliantly colored. Of course he would say it, he's a Bromide. He asks you if you have heard a certain story. You nod in the affirmativeg then he pro- ceeds to tell it, and shows by the expression on his face that he ex- pects you to laugh. What's a 'sulphite'? One who does his own thinking. Of course it was he who said, Snoring with all the stops openg She has R. S. V. P. other new student of Lexington high. Wilma formerly attended school at Flagler, Colo. She men- tioned the spirit of friendliness as s e e m i n g particularly ,outstanding here. Either Wilma is very secretive, or else she really is one of the few rare persons having no complaints. She even likes spinach. Dance music is particularly fas- cinating, but she enjoys band music also, though she doesn't play an in- strument herself. Democratic, Wilma denounces all stuck up people who disdain to speak. Her hobby, reading, takes all her spare time, fiction romances claim- ing the greater part of her atten- tion. Her ambition is a noble one. She wants to become a nurse. The Minute Men will meet the Curtis Aggies here Wednesday eve- ning, October 26. Look out for a big battle!

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.

HONORS ARE AWARDED FOR FIRST SIX WEEKS ' Ethel Pedersen and Hugh Stuart are the only upper classmen to place on the honor roll for the first six Weeks. 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.

I NEWSETTES Tact in business-that's what the typlng classes have been developing this week. They discuss answers to such problems as, How much do you get a week? and What to do and say when you find the boss has made a mistake? They learn that saying and doing the right thing means getting along with people, and many times that may mean the difference between a job and the bread line. Captain Hammond, of Fairbanks, Alaska, gave a talk on the life and customs of the eskimos, and the dif- ferent sports in which they partici- pate. Captain Hammond was brought up on a farm near Aurora, Nebraska, but has lived in Alaska for a number of years. He is now on a tour through the states. Calvin McKibbin, junior, and Don- na, sophomore, are moving to Belle Fourche, S. Dak., where their father will manage a dry goods store. While residing in Lexington, he was proprietor of the United Foods. Berdine Daiss, junior, has been suffering from an abscessed thumb. A minor cut from a knife while Berdine was canning pears caused all the trouble. The wound lay dor- mant for several days and then be- came painful. Now it is close to the bone, but seems to be healing, final- ly. The Girl Reserve cabinet met Oc- tober 18, to discuss plans for a YOUNG CITIZENS INITIATENS SEE GHOST TAKE TESTS OCT. 29 For the Citizenship contest, spon- sored by the World-Herald, two girls and two boys from L.H.S. have been selected. Bob Bailey, Hugh Stuart, Alice Sorensen and Marjorie Bellew, re- presenting Lexington, will take an intelligence test and a civics test for the county contest at the court house, October 29. From the county contest two girls. and two boys will be chosen for the state contest. F.F.A. BOYS COP HONORS Four F.F.A. boys of Lexington re- ceived honors in the American Roy- al Livestock Show in Kansas City last week. Sheep were the heading point- getters for the Lexington lads, with :Hofferber's Duroc Jersey hogs plac- ing fifth. Stanley Wells and Bob Anthony placed second and fifth respectively with their lambs of 90 pounds and over: Keith White's en- try collected fifth place honors in the class of lambs under 90 pounds. The second year Spanish class is now working on plays which will be presented before the class and, perhaps, for general assembly. Virginia and Leonard Cruson, sophomore and senior, moved to Genoa, last week, where their father has been transferred as Union Pa- cific agent. While here, Virgnia was one of the assisting drum ma- jors of the L.H.S. band. AND ROLL BEANS AT HOME EC. PARTY The Home Economics club held a joint initiation and Hallowe'en party Thursday evening, October 20, when fifty-three new members were in- itiated. Candles about the room furnished the only light during the formal in- itiation. Patsy Naffzinger, secretary, with a white candle representing the spirit of home economics, lighted the blue light of Character, the yel- low light of Wisdom, and the red light of Health, the lavender light of Beauty, the green light of Serv- ice, and the orange light of Home. As Patsy did this, the president, Alice Sorensen, told the full mean- ing of each of these lights and ex- plained that these were the ideals for which a home economics girl should strive. Repetition of the pledge completed the formal cere- mony. The social part of the meeting came next and several girls were soon out in the hall rolling beans up the incline on first floor with their noses. A corpse that talked proved to be quite a grotesque char- acter, and brought its full quota of the anticipated screams.
