PROGRAM IS MEDLEY OF SPEAKING AND SONG When it comes to afternoon pot pourri programs, L.H.S. is nonpariel! Where else, in an hour and a half, could one get entertainment varying from a requiem for all annual spon- sors, to free lessons in chorus direct- ing? On Wednesday, October 26, L.H.S. students hearkened to a speech by Photographer M. E. Hebrew, exhort- ing the students to get shot im- mediately for the sake of their spon- sors. Kenneth George acted as master of ceremonies over the remaining portion of the program. The sec- ond year Spanish class presented the play, Coma Cambian Los Fiem- pos, or How Times Change. It was given first in Spanish and then in English by Janice Cook, Marjorie Bellew, Marianne Zimmerman and Jean Smith. Calvin McKibbin's reading, Look- ing After Clara, marked his last public appearance before moving to South Dakota. Patricia Naffzinger and Virginia Knapple brought this part of the program to a close by playing two piano duets-the first being, Gold Mine in the Sky, with each girl manpulating a piano. On the sec- ond -number, Dark Eyes, they combined their musical talents to make only one piano talk. Over the second half of the pro- gram Marjorie Carroll presided and conducted a rally. The four Spiz members, elected from each class, were initiated publicly when each group led the assembly in a yell. They were arrayed in that choice miscellaneous attire known only to initiates. At this point the cheer leaders took the floor and guided the chilluns in several yells. Don Moss took charge of the dictation lesson when he read, line by line, three new pep songs and then pro- ceeded to direct the community sing. Thus the tale ended. Betty Weaver, '37, had the second lead in the comedy, Spring Dance, which was given at the Nebraska Wesleyan university Saturday, Nov. 5.

It was decided that this year the girls must learn the code and song and be able to answer any question asked her about Girl Reserves before she is entitled to wear a Girl Reserves pin. Miss Lewis impressed upon the girls the importance of being present at every meeting. An interesting dis- cussion was held on sub-deb ques- tions. i DIPLOMATS, AUTHORS, AND EDUCATORS ON N.S.T.A. PROGRAM Several teachers who attended the Nebraska State Teachers Associa- tion convention last week at North Platte seem to put Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde's talk on her diplomatic mission to Denmark at the top of the list in entertainment. Others name The programs pre- sented by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton as the spotlight of the convention. Mr. Seton, author of many famous books, such as, Wild Animals I Have Known, The Biography of a Grizzly, Woodcraft and Indian Lore, Scouting for Boys, told of his experiences in handling a large group of boys who were molesting his bird and animal sanctuary. Ap- parently, from his own story, he was the innovator for some of the Boy Scout code, because he had to devise a way to protect his property. Mrs. Seton's characterization of the Indians, her beautiful costumes, and her singing held her audience enthralled, say the teachers. Artistic, winning, and picturesque, these entertainers. and informers, seemed to bring to the stage per- sonalities that have long been known V among book lovers.

EDITORIALS I A JUNIOR MEDITATES I am a junior. Next year I shall graduate and have the task of choosing the right road to take for my profession and my future. As I sit here looking at you, and you my classmates, I hardly realize we are almost ready to pass to a dif- ferent period in life! or should I say a new world? When I was a freshman I felt grown up. The juniors and seniors were far beyond but still I felt passed. But now take the places me in knowledge, my childhood had it is different! We of those we once looked up to. I see new people in plays and musical programs. I see new faces, new friends, but how I long once more for the chance to linger in the halls with those of other years. This year another class goes outg another will come in. This means new acquaintances and friends, but yet there's a longing for those old stand-bys. Are we ever satisfied? No, but, my freshman friends, take cogniz- ance of all that's here for you. We go to school together only once and it is never long enough.

Moss In a previous issue, I attempted to explain that a bromide is the fellow who repeats bearded jokes, and rides a stolen horse in the re- partee parade. A sulphite is harder to describe because-well, did you ever try to photograph an eel? He's explosive, spontaneous, and at times, shocking, but not a yawn-generator. In L.H.S. there are dozens of bromides, but I say to the highly eulogized minority of sulphites, t'Don't get cocky: 'Insane asylums are full of sulphites'. Tliey're not all there, however, just as not all bankers are in Leavenworth. You up there on the shelf, saw a sulphite in Harry White, Wednes- day, and learned that the difference between coal oil and kerosene is ten cents.

ATHLETIC EN ,M arf' L l I I ' By 1---., f- Harold Riley and Bill Banks LEXINGTON LOSES TO HOLDRE GE Lexington journeyed to Holdrege, and suffered a 13 to 7 defeat in the hands of the Dusters, Who scored for the Iirst time this year, Friday, No- vember 4. In the first quarter, with Redfern leading the Dusters, they pushed down and over for the first counter and extra point. Six plays later Lexington scored on a pass from Warren to Stuckey. Stuckey kicked the goal for the extra point. In the third quarter Lexington fumbled on their own 40 and Hol- drege recovered. Redfern again led the plunging and they went over for another touchdown, but failed to convert. On an exchange of punts, Lexing- ton took the ball on Holdrege's 30. They drove for the goal but ended on the 2-yard line. That was the last time either team threatened and the game ended, 13-7. CURTIS WINS 21-12 OVER MINUTE MEN Hard charging Curtis Aggies over- ran the Lexington Minute Men here 21-12, October 26. i THE I-IUDDLE 2 X P, Wgaffszfs Evil Zgfji-Zi A large crowd of Lexington foot-1 ball fans watched their first game of six-man football between Eddyville and Miller here October 26. Eddy-I ville showed a superior quality of football by leading with a score of 38 to 21. The Lexington Reserves will tra- vel to Mason City, Armistice day, for a game with the undefeated Mason City eleven. This will be the first time Lexington Minute Men have ever defended their colors against these huskies. For their opponents, Minute Men are using Charley McCarthy's fav- orite quip, We'll mow you down. They'll have to put a finer edge on' their sickles for Aurora and Goth- cnburg.

Following in the wake of his bro- ther, Bob, he has quarterbacked for L.H.S. in a mighty man-of-the-min- ute way. This year he captained for the Kearney and Curtis bouts. Three qualities probably account for his success-an absorbing love for the game, a good head, and a stout, yet agile, body. A delegate to Boys State at Lin- coln in his junior year, Jack also has the honor of being one of the three juniors elected to the National Honor Society last year. He is sc- cretary-treasurer for the Hi-Y, and has the unusual distinction of being a senior band member for seven years. Gypsy Jim Junior play, Novem- ber 10. L.H.S. Aud.
