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.

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!

Harold Riley and Bill Banks MINUTE MEN TIE BISON IN CLOSING ROUND After three quarters of what seemed to be a no-score encounter, McCook and Lexington locked horns for a 7-7 draw here October 14. Early in the fourth quarter Mc- Cook started their drive from the Bison's thirty-four yard stripe, With a six and one-half yard average the Bison carried the pigskin across in eleven charges. After McCook kicked to Lexing- ton they exchanged a number of plays and then the Minute Men started a march for their goal. It took seven charges and three passes averaging two and one-half yards per play. Fans seem to feel Richards used his bulk and experience in holding his point of the line. The backfield showed much improvement since the game with North Platte. CALLAWAY TOPPLES 26-7 BEFORE LEXINGTON GUNS Rolling up a score for each quar- ter, the Minute Men swept the Cal- laway Trojans windward for a 26-7 loss here Friday night, October 21. With Taylor averaging 10 yards to the plunge, Lexington bolted down the turf to capture 6 points in the first quarter. A blocked pass in the second round set up stakes for Taylor's second touchdown. Dupli- cating his teammate's feat, Fore- man treked goalward twice in the succeeding quarters. Swirling on a fake conversion, Walbridge scuttled around his own left end and crossed the stripe for the extra point after Foreman's first counterg Taylor's boot made the next singleton. A few minutes before the iinal gong, Callaway set up a weird aer- ial attack that ended in a score. Two plays later the game ended. Injuries prevented several of the lirst string from entering the fray Friday night, but the second fiddlers played the Trojan warriors' death song with regular Minute Man swing, RESERVES WIN 7-0 OVER NORTH PLATTE Lexington Reserves, led by Cap- tain Walbridge, grabbed a 7-0 vic- tory from North Platte, here Octo- berp13. Both teams played tight de- fense the whole sixty minutes. In the last of the fourth quarter, Walbridge intercepted a North Platte pass and returned it seventy yards for the only touchdown of the game. Dean Stuckey smashed the center of the line for the extra point. THE I-IUDDLE l fl 11, V,-4 0 ff Wa., yfv' QWW' '- 9 4:11259 Here's something for your history book! Last Friday was the first time in ten years that both Lex- Kington and McCook have scored in the same game. Only one penalty was called in the entire game, but as both teams were offside the down remained the same. Such a fray is proof that two teams can iight hard and clean. Although the much improved Lex- ington junior high team out-downed and out-yarded their opponents here, October 13, they were unable to strike pay dirt over the young Hol- drege Dusters. The young but beefy Holdrege lads rubbed the Minute Boys' noses in the Phelps county soil, 14-0, in their first tussle earlier in the season. Too much Dodd, or t'Too Much Callihan, was once the explanatory opening phrase for Lexington's de- feat in the days when those boys ran wild for Gothenburg and Grand Island. Now that they fly the crim- son and cream for Nebraska, we understand the why of those Cor- rigan drives. Our yearning for re- venge has subsided, and given place to a feeling of pride for the Platte valley terrors. Your Candy Headquarters!

Who? Bob Bailey-that versatile, pleasant senior who is ac- curate on the offense and a line smasher on the defense. Of magnetic personality, this Min- ute Man center is also an active member of the Spiz and Hi-Y. He was cabinet member of the Hi-Y last year. One of the three members of the junior class to be elected to the coveted membership in the Na- tional Honor Society, he has proved to be the kind that takes honors lightly, but responsibility seriously. Last week he was selected by the administration office to represent Lexington in the Young Citizen's Contest for Dawson county, and was captain of the McCook-Lexington gamehtwo noteworthy duties. Bob's ambition is to fly up in the blue, and we grant he'll go far. c-:Ann I, , , l, I Football season is on!
