GOTHS TO BE TOUGH FOE ON HOME FIELD NOV. 24 Whe.n the Minute Men meet the Gothenburg Swedes there Thanks- giving Day, there will be the old- time battle-axe spirit. Gothenburg, having tied North Platte and Cozad, is still undefeat- ed with 126 points against their , opponents' 14. Minute Men have not been down- ed by the Swedes since they have no intention accumulated scores raise skyward now. MINUTE MEN LOSE Nu PLAQUE AWARD After winning the N plaque for the past ten years, athletes of Lex- ington fell down on the job for 1937- 1938. Gothenburg, Minden and Platts- mouth received scholarship plaques in Class B division. Hastings was the only school in Class A with an 1933, and of letting their hair enrollement of over 600 that was. honored with an award. Class C al- so has three winners, Ashland, Bridgeport and Tilden. Anoka, Mel- beta, and Oakdale were presented plaques in the Class D division. Lexington was listed with twenty- six schools on the honor roll. Homo bribes one of the tribal An- cients to create a tradition that a stranger will appear to weave a new mantle for the chief in which Blime is identified as the stranger. Since the chief cannot be killed so long as he wears this sacred garment, Blime is to pretend to weave this cloak, and the tribe will be glad to slay him when he appears dismantled. Act I ends with Blime retiring to the cave to weave the invisible mantle. How Blime strategically handles the mantle situation, how cannibal- ism is banished and how the cave- men win their maidens is all told in the final act. PARENTS AND FRIENDS ENJOY OPEN NIGHT Open House in L.H.S. was held Monday evening, November 14. The high school band played several se- lections at the beginning of the pro- gram. W. C. Bloom, county super- intendent, then spoke on 'Education Enriched by Living. Concluding the program the chorus sang several numbers directed by Mr. Ewing. Following the program, the par- ents and friends of students visited the office, library, laboratories and class rooms where the faculty mem- bers greeted them. The sophomore home economics girls, dressed in old-fashioned costumes, served punch and wafers and the Home Economics club sold candied apples.

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.

EDITORIALS UN-NOTED HEROES The junior play, Gypsy Jim, was a success Csay our friendsj but who made it so? The players, of course, but not alone. They couldn't run out and pull the curtain, nor drop the messages down the chim- ney. They weren't concerned with the furniture, but thanks to the Ros- enberg Company, and to the proper- ty and stage committees, the stage was ready. To the musicians' who added bits here and there, to Miss Soker and her class who made the neat pro- grams, to the janitors who served overtime, the class is especially grateful. In this recognition of unheralded service, the juniors refer, also to Superintendent Miller and to Prin- cipal Ashton, Whose advice, assist- ance, and understanding helped ex- ceedingly. And then there was Miss Leech who stopped her duties one after- noon to sew pockets into Gypsy Jim's costume so that he might pull out powders, charms or wine glasses at the right moment. Finally, there were those Paul Re- vere's who spread the alarm fbillsl to every auto, store window and farm. And so it is all these servers, and others, whom we thank and salute. --The Junior Class. Patronize our advertisers! DEMOSSING Yoon VOCABULARY --ln. Moss Attention, hunters and trappers! Have you ever wondered what a rac- coon was called in the days of John Smith? You will ind it listed as rahaugcum or Uraugroughcumf' In 1612 it became aracoune but still resembled a badger. By 1625 the people were hunting raccoons. The foregoing is an example of a loan-word, this being one taken from the Indian language and changed to its present-day form. A I QXZUZWICZ , He! Ha! Very funny indeed- Isn't it the screwiest thing for someone to go horse back riding at three in the morning? asked Addison. It sure is, answered Dorothy, 'tWho did? Paul Revere.

Three guesses for what it said to me. One crowd roared. at a time please, and the And as Rich Hume spoke, he said, Just now as I was talking a mes- sage came down from my brain.

Go how? interrupted Billie Bob. 'tThat's all, they just go. And now that I have dropped my tongue I must stop my mind from rattling on. Ethel Mae Pedersen, the charm- ing, brown-eyed, senior star rates our honor roster this week. Leafing through her high school career We i unearth three prom- inent positions she is holding capably. S'nce she is vice- president of the senior class, presi- dent of the Nation- al Honor Society, of the senior year- book, and an active Spiz member, we do not hesitate to verify her statement that she is, Too busy to have time for a hobby. Ethel heads her class even though each morning she comes eight and one-half---blocks, no - miles. And they say in the office, She is late only when snowflakes dance up to her elbows. As far as sports are concerned she can inhale either the spirit of a football or basketball game with the same amount of enthusiasm. Her ambition at present is to be a home economics teacher. As I have said before, She is busy-yes, so busy she hardly even had time for this interview.
