Clarion Wins Second Place Award Our congratulations! Your pub- lication has won outstanding honors in the 1938 Critical Service. j t'The Judges of this year's serv- lice, under the auspices of the Medill School of Journalism, recognize your 'paper as one of outstanding achieve- ments and bestow upon it an Inter- national Second Place Award. The above quotation was received last week from Edward Nell, execu- ttive secretary of the Quill and Scroll contest at Northwestern. l Page one was graded a 1 and the other pages 2 . General effec- Ltiveness of news Writing also scored H1.1! A straight line underscoring a word indicated exceptional excell- jence, a wavy line indicated weak- ness in that department. The Clar- ion received 21 straight lines and 4 wavy lines. I Dominant good features of the 'news stories were use of essentials, organization of story, variety in ilead construction, and Playing up the feature. Outstanding qualities in the make- up were symmetry and newsiness. The Features were underscored for quality and variety, the sports writing for use of essentials and playing up the feature, advertising lfor giving service fno formal or igift adsl. The four wavy lines signified head- ings in editorials could be improved, lack of white space in some of the advertisements, occasional typo- graphical errors, and too few re- porters' names in the column heads. 'The Clarion is a snappy little paper. Its alert editorial policy and lively news writing make it an in- fluential factor in school life at Lex- ington, concluded the critic on the score sheet. l r SONJA HIENE Sweaters and Caps to brighten your fall outfit. - Buy them at - EVANS SHOP H v It may be out of season, But the game warden Won't object Norma Miller, Nora Quitmeyer, andl If you have yourself Alice Sorensen.

I EDITORIALS SCHOOL DAZE School days, once termed golden rule days, are taking the present tense again. And by tense, we mean more than the class definition. Not that you are expected to mould yourself into a strained rigid rou- tine, but please, students, realize at tiiis beginning, that school is more than an abode in which to wear rolled pant legs and green hair rib- bons. Still, don't get the idea that on the morning school starts, The Fight Is On. You will find that L.H.S. is an all- around good place. To appreciate this, you must develop a certain firm, or tense attitude iantonym, jelly-fishl toward all school activi- ties, and then when the hazy au- tumn balminess and the gilded land- scape fades, school won't lose its glamour and inspiration. Then, just to make sure that freshmen will not mistake the Gold- en Rule alluded to for a local chain store, let us explain that there is a golden rule around L.H.S., such as golden silence in certain hallways and classrooms. And then with all respects to the English bard, let us inform you that all that glitters around L.H.S. IS gold. Don't let it become brass. THEY'RE EVER HERE School is on! If only some mystic charm could preserve the enthus- iasm, purpose and good fellowship that always accompanies the open- ing weeks! But-as always-there'll come a time when the weak-willed souls will lose their vim. That will be in about six weeks. There are others who will manage to keep up the fire 'til after Christ- l l 1 l l mas. A few staunch pacemakers, who are undaunted by hardships will be going strong by May 26. It's a sort of parable like the sower-some seeds falling by the waysideg some springing up from stony ground and then dying be- cause they had no depth of earthy some falling on good soil. From the fertile grounds came the harvest. OUR DECEIVING FEET Of all the illusions in this institu- tion, the greatest seems to have been, Go up to the annual room. True! We went up the main stairs to the north on the second floor, opened a door that led to a narrow passageway, descended two short flights of steps and never knew we '4hadn't been nowhere a tall.

Having taught several subjects in Lexington high for several years, and having been with the students, Miss Carter should know what she is talking about when she says the value of the school would be much improved if pupils would not take the Oh, I'il get by attitude toward school. Miss Helen Starr, new junior high teacher in L.H.S,, comes from Grand Island where her father is the prin- cfpal of the junior high school.

Seesawing through an uneventful first quarter with Kearney taking most of the first downs, both teams battled without furnishing any spec- tacular sprints. Several passes gain- ed a few yards with Stuckey catch- ing for the Minute Men. Quarter ended 0-0. . High point in the second canto was a touchdown for Kearney on the fourth down after three unsuc- cessful line plunges. Taylor knocked down the pass for the extra point to keep the score 6-0. Ineompleted passes shattered a few tense moments in the third quarter. Taylor and Stuckey for Lexington, and Shada for Kearney lifted the curtain here and there with assistance from the lines, but the canto ended scoreless with Kear- ney still holding the bell rope, 6-0. A final 12-minute round showed Gallington marching goalward for Kearney. A partially blocked kick by Kearney gave the Bearcats the ball on the Lexington 20-yard line. A sidelong gallop by Gallington put Kearney close to scoring on a first down, but an injury to Richards, Lexington guard, took time out and the spell was brdken. Kearney fumbled and failed to recover. An- other season of give and take ended in midfield with the whistle favor- ing Kearney's 6-0 tally. Cozad and Lexington To Battle This Week Friday the Minute Men will match their skill here against Cozad. The Haymakers have a promising team and will give their best to beat Lexington. Last season the Minute Men blocked a pass receiver to give Co- zad a 6-0 victory and are plannng to take Lexington into camp again. Two veteran guards will make the center of the line hard to penetrate. At right guard, 175-pounder Bob Douglas will give no ground. At the opposite guard Lloyd Romine, weigh- ing 179, will stand his own. Oct. 21-Callaway, here. Oct. 26-Curtis, here. Nov. 4-Holdrege, there. Nov. 11-Open. Nov. 18-Aurora, here. 24-Gothenburg, there.
