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.

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. Oh my, oh me-now you can see what makes we-uns grow gray . yes and these new inventions simply do me up. The other day I step- ped on a scale that speaks your weight. 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. What is it quick,' gasped Miss Hanson. I can't tell you, it came collect. You know what, said Durwood, When the girls see Robert Taylor they go, 'Ohl Oh!' But when they see me they go . . . 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.

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.

UNIOR PLAY CA T COMEDY ENTERTAINS LARGE CROWD The enticing play, Gypsy Jim, presented by the junior class No- vember 10, drew one of the largest crowds in recent years. Three acts of mystery and com- edy were climaxed when the anti- cipated heart throbs, Gypsy Jim fBill Kellyl and Lucy Blake fWanda Highj stopped beating around the mulberry bush and came out and said they loved each other. The sweeping Romeo or the gal- lant Galahad, would have been swept off his charger had he seen Kelly depict the roaming Gypsy Jim. Employing grace, talent, and charm was the little Juliet, Wanda High, as she captured the heart of Gypsy Jim and many others. Mary Jane Thomas furnished interesting complications towards developing the climax, when she involved the jilted Romeo, Jim Roberts, as Dan- iel Glazer. Splendidly interpreting the part of the rejected lawyer was Donald Gunn as Harry Blake. Charlotte Newman, made eyelids flicker in her realistic portrayal of Mary Blake, the sad wife who believed she had one foot in the grave, but who didn't realize that she was knocking the props from her family with the other. Bill Staten acted well the part of the discouraged son, Tom, While the clear-toned Milton Stear was by no means a disappointment in the pre- sentation of Harold Kent. No less worthy were Vyrl Anderson and Ferdinand Kopf as they gave cre- ditable account of themselves as Gypsy Jim's helpers. One of the smallest moppets, yet not so small as an actress, was Pat Naffzinger in the role of Grace. Darrel Hollibaugh played the butler. ,gg ,L f 61 Newseztes 5 The Home Economics club met Thursday, November 10, in Miss Leech's room at 4 o'clock. It was decided that the theme for the year would be 'tHomemaking in Foreign Countries. Suggestions for Thanks- I . . . . . 'giving entertaining were discussed. Shirley Bourn gave directions for making unusual place cards. Lillian Stock read Thanksgiving Menus which was a clever comparison of 1888 and 1938 Thanksgiving menus. Dolores Kopf presented suggestions for centerpieces. Dick Cranford, sophomore, has been recuperating several weeks from a broken collar bone, returned to school last week. He was injured ln action during the midget foot- ball game with Brady. From the money earned at the faculty dinner this fall, thirty glass cups and two new pieces of Fiesta- ware have been bought for the home economics department. r HAGADONE'S CAFE Come in and try our Steaks and Sandwiches! x Phoenix Hose 3 thread and 4 thread, 790.
