Widney The Lexington Pioneer Co., Incorporated- Many a pioneer settlement owed its existence to Emigrant Societies. These organiza- tions planned the sending of the caravan, the Hnancing of the venture, the providing of the equipment for the journey, and even the selection of the leaders for the wagon trains. The Lexington Pioneering Company, our Board of Education, has been responsible for fitting out each caravan for its trek into the realm of knowledge. This company has chosen the trails which would lead the wagon trains to their dreamed of destination. It has care- fully selected the leaders and equipment, that the adventure may have every opportunity for success. It has provided money for the venture, that no financial handicap may delay the caravan. And the advice, so willingly given by those, who have traversed the Way before, has given courage to the weary travelers to go on, until they successfully reach the end of the trail. The president of this 'gpioneering Companyu is Mr. D. Corl. For twenty years, Mr. C. Welden has been its secretary, but, upon his departure for his new home in California last fall, Mr. M. L. Sievers was selected to talce his place. This choice insures careful and efficient service, both for the company and the outgoing caravans. As the 1935 caravan nears the end of its trek, its members wish to express appreciation to these loyal friends, who have made their journey a worthwhile one. And, whatever treasures they may have found along the trail, the honor for a successful quest belongs to the company who made their search possible-the Board of Education.

I 'K A ROLAND MORGAN ROBERT MYERS PEARL WHITE MAYNARD MINGUS The New Frontier Inspired by visions of the pioneer, Whose hardy courage made Nebraska great, The loyal seniors, on the new frontier, This modern prairie tale will dedicate: Led by a hardy SEAMAN, brave and bold, W'ho came to join the band from other SHORES, The trek began, in search of treasured gold, Bright nuggets hidden well in learning's store. A tiny SPECK, the fearless caravan 1 Wound in and out among the GLENNS and DALES, Though YOUNG, they faced the trackless freshman span, And weathered well the stormy prairie gales. They built a camp beside the sophomore stream, A GARRISON about their wagon train, The glowing FAGOT shed its ruddy beam Upon each trusty LANTZ across the plain. They sang their way along the junior trail, A CARROLL that would drive away all KJAR, And joyous feasts and many a campfire tale With passing caravans were glad to share. The senior path winds to the snow-clad peak, By Grassy BANKS where purple VIOLETS grow, They stop beside refreshing WELLS to speak To friendly FELLERS, whom they used to know. No longer must they DODGE the hostile spear, Their FOREMAN has proclaimed the journey's end, And, as they NEIL, each senior pioneer Is grateful for the loyalty of friend. Today, they con their golden treasures o'er, Bright nuggets from the trail to learning's West, And wisdom's RUBYS glisten in the store, Symbolic of the glory of the quest. But loftier peaks still lure them far beyond, WHITE shimmering trails wind on from year to year, The caravan makes ready to respond, In search for treasures on the new frontier. --GERTRUDE M.

We have forded the river of difficulties and strife. No longer are we frightened by the fires of failure sweeping down upon us, threatening to quench our spirit and courage. We have long since extinguished that terrifying blaze. We have seen the mountains before us, and now we are struggling on to perceive the joys and beauties beyond the peaks. All along the way we have suffered attacks of homesickness, and would have turned back many times, had it not been for the guidance of our courageous captains, Mr. Ewing and Mr. Miller. Having overcome the trials and hardships of the first two years, we stand now with finer courage to endure. We have covered fully half of the tedious miles on the long trek Westward to the land of desire. But two years remain, and we also shall have reached the heights. . We vision ourselves standing there in the glow of attainment, happy in the congratula- tions and feastings tendered us by those, who have made the four-year journey successfully. In our dreams, we see the prairie schooner advancing on into the gorgeous sunset. Swallowed up in radiant splendor, it becomes the glowing symbol of realization, which awaits us at the end of the trail.

On September 3, 1934, ninety-seven venturesome freshmen, disregarding all premoni- tions of disaster and arming themselves with visions of the new life which would be theirs when the vast wilderness of books and lessons had been penetrated, dared the unknown. And what had they to fear with such faithful, able scouts as Nliss Anderson, who took charge of their home room, and Miss W'iles? These two, having once traveled the same way, lcnew its lurking perils and pitfalls, and were well-fitted to direct the guides and guard the caravan from danger. For the first lap of the journey, the following were chosen as guides: PHYLLIS CRAWFORD to ,,,,,,t,,,,t President MARJORIE MCFARREN ee,, teet.,, V ice President RUTH BOURN ,,,,,,,, ,,t,, S ecretary ODESSA KLOEPPING ,.,, ,,,,, T reasurer .iinl-IQ , ,.r.'.'.'-.Q g f- if!

Rod Widney, as drum major, showed some real ability. He also tool: part in the declamatory play. An important role in the high school operetta was given to Barbara Cook. Retha Mae Edeal and Harold Riley played instrumental solos at the music contest in Grand Island. Harold Bacon, Donald French, Barbara Cook, Maxine Bellew, Shirley Good, Phyllis Crawford, Retha Mae Edeal, Dorothea .lessen have been on the honor roll.

Freshmen Treking across the plains, we have met with one tragedy, the death of one companion, Helen Mallett. Although we miss our friend, her spirit will follow us on our journey. The class of '38 has almost completed the first fourth of its journey. Its members hope that when they reach their goal they will have learned to be better, truer comrades, to serve gladly, and to reach toward the best that life has to offer. They hope that Lexington High School will be proud of them. The following freshmen received reserve letters in football: Frank Vance, Paul Verne Adams, Gerald Dunlap and Carl Meyers. Clinton Banks, Lowell Cain, and Paul Zook received midget letters in football. In basketball Frank Vance and Paul Verne Adams received reserve letters. Keith Houser is a student manager. In their response to the plea to buy activity tickets the freshmen showed their loyalty to their school. Although pioneers must work hard in their conquest of new worlds, they have time for play, too. The freshmen expect to climax a year of good times with a never-to-be-forgotten picnic.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall Slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength With never a thought of fear or pride, It followed the light through the crevice's length And unfolded itself on the other side. ,Fifi-El. lilmi ow N-1543 OREGON NTRRILN Q! kkvwuzu 'Y fy 't .- r W2 ' 1, 4 ...,,,,.

As dusk came on, the caravan formed its circle for the night and the tired pioneers were soon busy with their camphre duties. After a while a few silently, some dreamily, many laughingly, began to gather around the large, roaring, crackling fire in the center of the circle where they sang and told stories. Overhead the stars were shimmering in a mistblack sky and all around them was peace. Nothing disturbed the stillness of the evening save the heavy winging of a few hawks flying to the river in search of prey. As the fires Hickered low, the beauty of this strange, unsettled land lying steeped in silver moonlight drew the leader from the group. While he stood thus apart he saw in a vision, a city, where each covered wagon symbol- ized the future home of some sturdy pioneer in search of a promised land. His words of the future of Lexington, of the athletic field, and of the leader who would come to the school, cell their own story: This sodless waste, a fragment God forgot, Was left unfinished when the earth was made, But white-roofed caravans seek out the spot, And settlers build their cabins, unafraid. The wagon trains shall come throughout the years, And streak the sky with clumsy, lumbering line, Then, calls a voice, 'A leader from the pioneers Shall come, and build for peace a shrine.'

Thus, even before they reached their destination, they had developed a system of self-government. Lexington High School, also, has its council fire, which is a form of student government. This group, organized this year, is known as the Student Council. Seventeen members, one faculty member, four seniors, three juniors, three sophomores, two freshmen, one junior high school representative and one from each extra-curricular organization constitute this august assemblage. The camp fires have been burning steadily with Janice Farley, Library Chairman and co-worlcers organizing a reading center in the study hallg Vernon French, Usher Chairman, providing for ushers at all public performances, with Betty Combs, Program Chairman, providing two or more assembly programs each weelcg Evelyn Hunt, organizing the calendar for the year, Bob Hoclc, promoting good citizenship, Lewis Fagot limiting extra curricular participation, Peggy Lou Beyl superintending announcement distribution and Darrell Naff- ziger, supervising sanitation and beautification.

S ponsor The Friday afternoon ciphering matches, in the log school houses of sixty years ago, afforded much pleasure. l-lowever, they offered little training for a business career. Today, the commercial classes and the commercial clubs, where business problems are studied and discussed in a practical manner, offer a foundation of business training for future business men and womenf' The Commercial Club is organized for the purpose of stimulating greater interest in commercial work, and of creating a more universal desire to accomplish greater things along this line. Its aim is to prepare the students, who are interested in the commercial field, for their future business career. The activities of the club include: a visit to down-town business houses for demonstra- tions of office activity and office machines, a short play demonstrating the qualifications for office employees, and a survey of the usefulness of commercial subjects to former Lexington l-ligh School students. l'.nI'l.B 'f iP,gWff'w'f an A, y , ,A I airy f Eg ,Lyla 'xo ou: qi? ,MTM LLOREGON TR AILJ i sis- ' , N f f .,N,,, lf ?

The modern girl has opportunity to acquire new ideas of home making through the home economics courses, and .the meetings of the Home Economics Club. Any girl, who has had at least one semester of Home Economics, and who has an average grade of B plus or above, is eligible for membership in the Home Economics Club. The meetings are held on the second Monday of each month to discuss the ideals and standards established by the course. Some of the topics of discussion are: flj The charm of good grooming, QQ How to be well dressed, Bl l-low shall we spend our money? f4j What makes a house a home?f5l When you live away from home, f6j l-low can we malce the most of our leisure? f7j VUhat are the necessary factors for good health? Our motto is: To do something for ourselves, something for our school, something for our communityf' he objectives of the club are: to become better acquainted with all home economics irls nd have a good time together, to develop leaders among the home economics girls, to 1 the connecting linlc between home and school, to develop a broader view of home eco icsg and to spread information about the home economics department.

The settler, constructing with simple tools his rude log cabin, and home made furniture, stands out in sharp contrast to the careful workmanship used in the manual arts department. In this course, the student is taught the use of tools, how to take care of them, keeping them sharp and in repair, and how to get the best results from their use. The course in manual training also includes a study of woods. The student learns to recognize the kinds of wood from their appearance, and, from his knowledge of their qualities, he is able to select the wood best suited for each project. Most of the work is done on wood. Training in how to square upv a board, how to put the final touch on the wood, and how to obtain the best results from painting, all help to perfect the finished article. The practical knowledge gained in manual training is shown, when the boys are able to repair furniture and machinery so cleverly that it is hard to detect that it has been broken at all. Practical knowledge, systematic planning, and careful workmanship are the ends sought in manual training. ' . fa weft it gem XE. Ww lyg ,r.,c.,, V I.

The Girl Reserve Code is: As a Girl Reserve I will try to face life squarely, to find and give the best. I will try to be gracious in manner, Impartial in judgment, Ready for service, Loyal to friends.

But, with the advent of modern household conveniences, such work was lessened to the degree that a need for physical training for girls became evident. The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association, which is composed of girls interested in athletics, is to develop the physical powers and improve the health of its members. This association furnishes an opportunity for the girls to earn letters. In order to win a letter, a girl must earn six hundred pointsg if she wishes to add a stripe, she must earn six hundred points additional. These points may be obtained by swimming, horseback rid- ing, skating, playing tennis or basketball, and other sports. As the letter is so difficult to earn, it is an achievement of which any girl may well be proud. This year there are forty-four members, twenty-nine of whom are working for letters. Six girls were awarded their letters last year: Florence Corl, l-'lazel Delahunty, Zelda Dorsey, Bernice Lape, Adelaide Naviaux, and Betty Zimmerman. , ,d B75 , SVN W3 5 WI Vik? i s is Riggs ,Wg Qpfgf af ,,,,,, t Fi g ,,,.., ' .Q I ,Vi-.tu g-g ' .,,s,,-,-.c,s',.,. ...v-,c,,,,,,,s'f,-. :sag ,V gl .,c,c.-.-.,c,,.,.,.,.,.. -, V .,,,,,,c,,.,,.

So the defenders of the camp of the Minute Man have often been led to victory by the loyalty of the Spizarinlctums. The Spizarinlctums, representing all classes of the high school, endeavor to promote and maintain school spiritg to elevate the standards of the school, and to develop loyalty in every student. To be eligible for membership, a person should maintain passing grades in all subjects. These are investigated by the eligibility committee, cooperating with the sponsor of the society. One must have lots of pep and use it where it is needed. flsoyalty and faithful cheering for the school and the teams.j The Spizarinlctums conduct all football and baslcetball rallies of the year. Believing that a larger society could arouse more spirit within the school, Mr. Ewing advised the election of twenty-three new members at the end of the first semester. This makes a total number of forty-eight members, enlarging the group considerably. At the end of the year there will be another election of members to take the place of the outgoing seniors. All new members elected during the school year are initiated at the end of the second semester. F . 'KGS' V...

S p onyor Since the establishment of the Boston Latin School,', the forerunner of our modern high school, Latin has been regarded as a basic language. Thus, Latin may be regarded as the pioneer language of the high school curriculum. This year, which celebrates the tercentenary of the establishment of the Latin Schoolf' also marks the fifth anniversary of the organization of our S. P. R., commonly known as Latin Club. In this way, the Latin tradition is being advanced in Lexington High School. The purpose of this organization is to create more interest in the idealism of the Romans, their customs, religion, and ways of living, and to increase the students' knowledge of the language. Any student, who has taken Latin, Caesar, or Cicero, and has had an average of B plus, is eligible to membership in this club. There are about fifty members enrolled in the organization. The motto of the Latin Club is: Labor Omnfs Vincit, which means perseverance overcomes everythingf, - A A li t! 'SYN if w i ,.,-.fa-0-f 1- ,,, 'Jw-vt., Q ,,,,,,,,,,,.,, .

Sponsor A need for organization was felt even among the pioneers. The seniors, pioneer leaders in the normal training field, together with the juniors, organized the Normal Training Club to blaze a trail and set forth ideas to be upheld in that department. The club slogan is 'Torward Ever, Backward Never. The club members were eager to gain any information that would help make the way smoother when they went forth to blaze new trails. The aesthetic sense of the adventurers found an outlet in decorating the room. The individuality of the seniors was expressed during the first semester, and that of the juniors the last semester. Outstanding materials were set aside for the spring exhibit. Frequently expeditions were made into various helds of education to observe the work of other leaders. These were very profitable and made the seniors eager to put their ideas into practice. The seniors explored rural schools for two days and waited eagerly for an opportunity to carry on. This opportunity came when a week was devoted to discoveries and adventures in the held of teaching. They proved to be able pioneers. Camp meetings were held every month. Ideas were exchanged and club talent of various types was enjoyed. Mr. Bloom, our county superintendent was the speaker at the April meeting. The caravan drivers handed the reins to the next in rank and went forth to lead new caravans. lfgggqh N-1 Y- - Xe 1. 5 , .f,,,,, ,,,,:::::::::: ' ::1 '..:::,,,, ,,.,,-,.,s,', 'fi R, N ,,,',.-,,,, uf. ,Lil .OREGON .-.TRAIL Ji Nat1Onal Honor Soclety ,Q X.

An unusual interest in declamatory work has been shown this year. Those students who were interested in these courses, registered for the training under Miss Catherine Lyman the second semester.

Coach Koolen is an untiring worker, and is noted for his patience. He is an encouraging leader, a very essential quali- fication. A man of quiet manner, he guides, encourages, in- spires, but censures very little. The boys say that, if they do not give their best, his silent disappointment is his most caustic punishment. HONORARY CAPTAIN SHORES. Bi1l,', as he is known to all the fellows, is quiet, cheer- ful, and always smiling. Bill played tackle as it should be played, always fighting to tear up opponents. The other teams tried going through Bill only onceg then, they changed their tactics. A quiet leader of men. P HONORARY RESERVE CAPTAIN WALLER.

In the opening tilt, the Minute Bleu invaded the Overton camp, the Eagles swooped down with great strength but the lVlinute lVlen won by a score of 18-0. The following week, the strong Bearcats from Kearney charged into the Lexington stockade and the Minute Men were defeated, 20-0. Then, the Minden Wfildcats raced into the Lexington settlement, only to be driven out by an 18-U score. Lexington's tangle with the far-famed Bulldogs of North Platte resulted in a 34-14 victory for the Bulldogs, in spite of the splendid comeback made by the Minute Men in the fourth quarter. The next encounter was with the McCook Bisons, and, although the fight was slow on a wet held, the Minute lVlen rolled them over by a score of 13-0. The night the Curtis Farmers visited our camp, Coffey and Young ran wild, and Curtis fell at our hands by a 32-0 score. Ar I-loldrege, the Dusters so blinded the Lexington defenders that they fought the worst battle of the season, and the conflict ended with a score of 6-6. Even the Cozad Haymakers with their heavy team came over the prairie at lumbering speed, to attack the fortifications of the Minute Men. The combat was scoreless until the last four minutes, when Jeffrey, Lexington center, broke through, blocked a punt, and raced thirty-five yards for a touchdown, and the struggle ended 6-O in favor of Lexington. The Broken Bow Indians had their arrows ready, when the Lexington Warriors came to visit them, and drove off the intruders by a score of l9-6. Thanksgiving Day occurred the fiercest encounter of the season, when Lexington at- tacked the caravan of the Swedes. All the Minute Men fought hard, and contested every foot of ground. Thus, they held the Swedes to a scoreless tie in the decisive battle of the season. l-fr!-ISl xy , wwf? it ' ,,,,,, , ff' 5 ' ,wp ,ggi -,,,,, .,,,l',1',',',1,, 1 . 14 1- M ',', , , , ,T ,'.'.L,,, .1-,-,-,4-.f OL ! ,-,,.,,,.

The team played eight games on their schedule this year. They won five games and lost three, which is better than half. After watching the second team play this year, the outstanding men on it from the view of everyone were as follows: Adams, Vance Waller and Simon. These four fellows played the most consistent football and were remarkably outstanding. it sl sr ur J! J! J! J! idgets The junior Minute Men coached by Maynard Mingus and Oliver Greenlee turned in a good season. The records show us that the younger fellows had a season of four victories, two ties and two defeats, which is a good record for boys who were outweighed in every game. The outstanding midget men of the season were: Harold Burns, Donald I-Iolreiter, Wfayne Roudebaugh and John Stuart. for ee Haag- ec, 515 '7i,3P , YN . 2 .,-,,,, T ' MS T ,,,,,,, ,,,,--,,., , ,g'4iv'l . ,.l , ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, T ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,., ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,. ta g f 'lQiigr,,,yf Q-': ,.,-,. ,isi1t.ss ,1QLni:,.w .

FRENCH, VERNON-USEd his height as an advantage in getting the ball from the goal and relaying it out to his teammates for a fast break. I-le should be a clever guard and one hard to stop next year. Sophomore.

Sopho- more. HUFF, CARROLL-Played his first for Lexington at the guard position and did a good job, he was good at breaking through and following the ball when one of his own teammates would shoot. Senior. CONRAD, EARL-Connie was a smooth, cool and helpful forward, although Connie never made a lot of points, he was a clever ball handler and make many set-ups possible for the other fellows. Junior. COFFEY, KEITH-Was a forward that coaches can well be glad to have because of his clever ball handling and floor work. I-le also is a very dangerous man if you let him shoot from corners or one-handed shots from foul line. Junior. Hock, Bots-Jumped in height and was placed on the first team for his clever floor- work and using his height under his own basket for follow shots.

The boys played smooth basketball all the time and they excelled in floor work, their inability to hit the hoop was the reason for so many defeats this season. Three of the team will be lost by graduation which is liable to be a thorn in the pawn for next year's team. It always seemed as if on occasions when Lexington was playing tip-top basketball the opposing basketeers also were at their best. This resulted in many good games in spite of the fact that L. H. S. so often was left dangling at the short end of the rope. Having our life-long rival company from Cozad beat us in the home game and again in the return game is very liable to prove their undoing next year and we certainly hope there will be a decided change in the luck of the Lexington Caravans.

A iQORBG5?NiiQ'F1? Second Team The defenders of the Lexington caravans never seemed to excel at hitting the bull's eye in their contests as the second team seemed to have poor luck in this respect. The reserves had an up and down season of winning and losing. The boys played their best in every game but just weren't able to hit a hot stride for all season. They were strengthened when Jacque Harper returned to school and they toolc advantage of it and won some games from very stiff opponents. The second team always played just before the first team and they seemed to be the regulators, because whenever the second team lost the lirst team did, at least in most cases.

They were very good on floor work and the basket shooting will come with practice. Of course the same boys next year would be liable to suggest the same playing skill but this seems to be very seldom the case. At least we feel that the defenders kept the entire caravan from being wiped out, as none of the defenders even were injured at all seriously in the frays. A f -it 'iw iff? i X A vm, '01 S96 ja.

Dash, High Jump and Shot Put In 1935 we find a large group of lettermen returning for track under Coaches Kiffin, Koolen and Miller. The boys met Kearney and Holdrege in a triangular meet with Kearney winning and Lexington second. The boys showed a lot of fine stuff in the first meet but cold weather hindered them and slowed up their practices considerably. Following this meet they had a dual meet with Overton and swamped them. Next Coach Kiffin took a medley relay team to the Hastings College Relays and they placed third. The relay team was composed of Glenn Seaman, David Jeffrey, Delbert Bredencamp and Robert DeFruiter. We hope next year that the Lexington Caravans will be quite successful as many of the boys taking track this year are underclassmen. A dual meet was held with North Platte, they were victorious, then came a dual meet with Cozad and Lexington. We walked away with the meet 72-49. At the Southwest Conference meet the following fellows lettered for the 1935 track season: Robert DeFruiter, Darrell Naffziger, Eugene Zook, Wayne Roudebaugh, George Lockhard, Manuel Rivera, Henry Kjar, William Shores, Wayne Dill, Delbert Bredencamp, Elijah Anderson and David Jeffrey. At the Southwest meet the Lexington team was not very well represented, Bill Shores and Wayne Dill qualified for the high and low hurdle finale in the afternoon, Henry Kjar qualihed for the hnals in the broad jump and David Jeffrey qualified for the pole vault but four men were defeated in the finals that afternoon. There is one thing that we cannot forget to mention and that is that Robert DeFruiter broke the mile record which has been standing for six years, formerly held by Banty Ransdell, a Minute Man. The record was 4:53.4 and Bobfs new record now is 4151.9 which is very good time for running on a track that is wet and very soggy. The track season has been so dusty this year that it is difficult to break any records due to the fog of dust continually flying into your face. ix : VR Ag ' fW 'W 1 fl' V ....,.,..- QN X F: ,,,,,, 4-4-.0-:si-if?-0-lf? l ' ,Nahum if .1 5' 4595595555 ..s..-.-.af ,ix .,i5?3 lxt.iEs4,,,-9, 1 T ,v-,.'.,..

Such conferences Popularity Contest W :Qing ,iv W ts 1 Egijfq Wi' it 1 321 ' J ly Y Q gf demanded the highest type of leadership to be found among the pioneers, and revealed the distinction between the selhsh adventurer and the true pioneer. The progress of the Lexington wagon trains has also developed its councils and its council fires. This spirit of leadership, guiding many a journey to a successful finish, is typified in Bernice Lape, of i the 1935 wagon train. As a member of the senior caravan, she has ever been capable, dependable, and willing to give her best. In dramatics, she is artistic in the por- trayal of whatever part is assigned her. As presi- dent of Girl Reserves, she represents the highest type of student leadership. She was instrumental in the organization of Student Council, and her leadership among leaders was recognized, when she was chosen as its first president. As cheer PRAIRIE ScHoo Traversing the old Oregon Trail, the prairie schooners of L. H. S. started on their Covered Wagon Race, early in January. Each home room represented a prairie schooner, with its captain and company of loyal boosters. Each covered wagon began its trek at St. Joseph, Missouri, and could travel only so rapidly as their payment of Minute Man pledges would permit them. leader for the games and other school activities, she has contributed enthusiasm, school spirit and willing service. For her unselhsh devotion and loyalty, her cheerful enthusiasm, her sane counsel, her fair sportsmanship, and her all-around good leader- ship, the students of L. H. S. are proud to ac- claim her, Worthy Guardian of the Council Fire. NER 109 Prairie Schooner 109, with Captain Miller and his sophomore company, reached Walla Walla, at the end of the trail, about the middle of February. This loyal band had bought more annuals than they had pledged to buy, and are thus entitled to the name, The Winning Prairie Schoonerf, EARL CONRAD In blazing the trail through the unbroken forest and across the trackless prairie, there were those who pressed on in the face of discourage- ment and knew not the meaning of the word udefeatf' Along the trail to athletic achievement, suc- cess depends not upon the dazzling brightness of the 'rstars, but upon the trail blazing spirit of courage and co-operation found among the de- fenders of the school. As a Minute Man, Connie ever displayed these qualities for the honor of his team and school. He went into every coniiict with determination to win, and never lost his lighting spirit, no matter how great were the odds against him. He never fought for individual honors, but always exhibited that quailty of sports- manship that looks beyond self to the good of the team. Whether serving Lexington as quarterback on the gridiron, or defending the orange and the black in basketball and track, he showed the same unselfish devotion. His loyalty and service to L. H. S., his good sportsmanship, his cheerful disposition, his friendliness to all, and his unassuming man- ner, won for him the student vote, which entitles him to be called Loyal Defender of the Stockadef' The N lub Among the westward moving caravans, there were no doubt scouts who achieved special honor because their vision from the lookout was unusually keen. So among our athletes there are those who have been awarded honors by the University of Nebraska for their scholastic achievements. The N pin and N plaque are given by the University of Nebraska to the schools whose athletes rank above the school average. Lexington leads the state in these awards, with seven consecutive plaquesg beginning with 1928. Alliance is second, with six consecutive awards. Lexington High School athletes led the state last year, with nineteen men receiving N pins. In order for an athlete to receive an Nw pin, he must be a letter man in one of the three sports-football, basketball, or track. He must also have an average above that of the school. The total enrollment in Lexington High School in 1933-34 was three hundred seventy- eight students. The average for the school was 81.791 per cent. The average of the nine- teen letter men receiving the award was 86.164 per cent. Individual honors go to Byron Cowles and Vernon French, each of whom had an average of 91.25 per cent.

Four caravans, containing three hundred seventy high school students, are off on the L. H. S. trail in search of new adventures. Some, who have never followed the prairie schooners in their search for the nuggets of knowledge, face the venture with fear and misgiving. Others have en- joyed the pleasures and companionships of Camp Vacationf' and dread again to face the hardships of the journey. Still others are eager to be on their way. So the de- parture of the caravan is heralded with mingled sadness and glad anticipation. September 14-The scouts of the com- pany, known as the Minute Men, tested their mettle by defeating the Lexington Reserves in a practice game. September 19-Such a pleasant surprise! Only two weeks on the way, and the journey is interrupted that everyone may have a trip to the Dawson County Fair. Peanuts, candy, and pink ice cream for every child, all to the tune of merry-go-round. September 22-Minute Men raid the Eagles' Nest! Lexington begins the season by defeating Overton, 19-0. Ocronsn October 5-The floodlights within the stockade shone brightly upon the struggle between the Minute Men and the pack of racing Minden Whippets, who had in- vaded our camp. Lexington scored an 18-0 victory over the invaders. October 12-Wasn't it grand of Colum- bus to go to all that trouble to discover us?,' just think! Only four hundred and forty-two years ago today, he cabled back to Queen Isabella, We have found them! Or perhaps, he didn't cable. October 19--For days, our scouts had noticed herds of buffaloes grazing on the near by prairies. Therefore, the Minute Men were ready for the Friday night stampede of the McCook Bisons, and drove them off by a score of 13-0. October 25-6-The first lap of the jour- ney closed happily with a two-day vacation to enable the teachers to attend convention. Why don't they have teachers' meetings more often? NOVEMBER November 1-The morning after the night of Hallowe'en! Lexington citizens were kept busy removing soap designs from window panes, hay rakes from front porches, and lawn mowers from the school house steps. November 2-Another effect of the drouth on Nebraska farmers! The rain and mud helped to confuse the Curtis Ag- gies, until they were defeated by the Minute Men by a score of 32-0. November 8 - In the good old rally time! After a snake dance down town, the L. H. S. students dance around the bonfire on the practice field, and listened to the pledge of the Minute Men to Dust the Dusters next day. November 19- Election Day in L. H. S. Students voted 3-1 in favor of student council. November 21-Want to eat a duck? The faculty of L. H. S. unanimously voted Yes,,, when Mr. Koolen offered to fur- nish the ducks for the dinner. And such a dinner! November 29-No Indian at the first Thanksgiving feast ever enjoyed turkey more than did the eleven Minute Men, after they had held Gothenburg to a scoreless tie in the annual Thanksgiving battle. DECEMBER December 6-All trails lead to the L. H. S. auditorium where the junior high stu- dents present their Christmas operetta, The Magi's Gift. December 9 - There's Music in the Air! The members of the band, resplend- ent in their new uniforms of maroon and gold, appear in their first vesper concert. December 18-The junior caravan fol- lows The Gypsy Trail,,' led by those two adventurers, Florence Corl and Keith Coffey.

Mr. James Williams gave a very interesting dis- cussion on liquid air. January 8-Does history repeat itself? Listen to this! For the seventh successive time, Lexington has received the N plaque. Elbert Smith, a former Lexington athlete, represented the University of Ne- braska in the presentation of the awards at a special convocation. January 15-The Kearney Bearcats claw- ed their way into the Lexington stockade, and, after a close and exciting basketball contest, defeated the Minute Men, 31-23. January 18-What a game! The brave army of Minute Men downed the flock of Cverton Eagles, by a score of 35-18. January 28-Fire! Fire! False alarm, so vacation lasted only five minutes. FEBRUARY February 5- From log cabin to the White House might well have been the theme of the Abraham Lincolnv film, shown in assembly in honor of our great 'Kpioneer presidentf, February 12-A trip to Washington, the Capitol City, and down the memorial highway to Mount Vernon, afforded a pleasant diversion from the morning's work. February 15-With Coffey leading the scoring attack, the Minute Men fought the Bertrand warriors to a successful finish, 21- 15. February 18 - The Covered Wagon Race ended with Prairie Schooner 109 at the end of the Oregon Trail.

Over with a load of mules, and back with a load of monkeys, buf, at that, he made us all want to include India in our world travels. March 13-India yesterday, Russia today. With Miss Anna Jennings, of Kearney State Teachers College, we visit Moscow, and travel through inland Russia. March 14 - Those old mistakes of mine! As we listened to Professor Ryan, of Kearney State Teachers College, some of the errors he so vividly portrayed had a most familiar sound. But he made us resolve, Never Again! March 22-XVhat is your latest foolish question? Did you wonder, as the Wes- leyan Glee Club reader and the Glee Club presented their programme? March 26-Honor scouts were utappedf' and were received into National Honor Society with candle-lighting ceremony.

April 22 - Miss Hanson makes her speech on The Old Stumpv at the Honor Society dinner. MAY May 1-May Baskets! May 14-When love conflicts with duty, what then?
