Let's see your paper a minute. What's the answer to the first question? I can't find it. May I borrow your pen? I just haven't the nerve to tell them to go plow their own corn- field -but something has to be done. Dear friends, if you say these things to your neighbors and friends, please put yourselves in their places. Would you like to buy supplies of erasers, pencils, and sheets of paper for your neighbors and friends? CThe above comment was found in the Scrap Box this week, and was printed with slight revision.-Edi- tor's Note.J VISION Mystery!! Death is taking its toll in L.H.S. The I'm going to learn something this year spirit is dying fast in some students after just five weeks of school. In some it seems to be already prostrate. What is it that makes some stu- dents work hard the first weeks and others to continue throughout the year? Detectives say that one clue to the mystery is laziness. Is it poss- ible? -Some say it may be the lack of variety in school affairs. But I think it's mental myopia, nearsightedness for which there are no corrective lenses. For those who have good vision, there are ambitions, purposes, and strife, but deep satisfaction in tri- umph. For those who hate the struggle, there is freedom and leis- ure, but to them, let me say-don't envy men who go far beyond you in the next ten years. They are already out of your sight, but you don't know it. You're nearsighted. Dorothy Helen and Cal have acquir- ed the southern accent from the Texans or not-maybe they Were- n't interested in the show If you give a woman enough rope, she'll hang herself - around your neck . . . and that reminds me . . . Dean S. seems to have hung his No Trepassingn sign on Frances O. . . . Men are like cellophane- transparent, but once you get wrap- ped up in them you can't tear 'em loose. Shotty: Just another question, Miss Hanson. Miss Hanson: What is it this time? Shotty: If a boy is a lad and he has a stepfather, is the boy a step- ladder? The following is an epitaph found on poor Wil1's tombstone: Here lies poor handsome Will, His face we'll see no more: Cause what he drank for H20, Was H2SO4. - What is so rare as a day in June?

Mistaken Identity ' Enrico Caruso, the great singer. was traveling through the state of Maine, in his automobile. One morn- ing his car mired down in the mud. The great tenor had to Walk to the nearest farmhouse to obtain aid from the farmer. Who are you ? asked the farmer. Expecting to impress the farmer, Caruso said, Oh I am Caruso. Oh! Robinson Caruso! The man who slept so long! an active member of the band, cho- rus, and pep organization. Incident- ally, she considers pep as a neces- sary trait. Sociability, also, ranks high in her estimation, hence, her many friends. She enjoys both popular and class- ical music. Offhand, she- believes she is especially interested in the works of Beethoven. Ice cream suits this brown-eyed miss, but spinach-yes, she's an- other of its abstainers. Green has a favorite place in her color scheme, and red occupies a position similar to that of the afore- mentioned spinach. And Ema Jean has another thing in common with most of us. She finds it extremely difficult and un- pleasant to get up in the morning. Well! Well! She mentioned the fact that she would really much rather 'just read during library periods. Wonder when she studies? It proved impossible to discover what she does in her spare time, so we decided she has none. Patronfze our advertisers.

S3 Iii T 'f ' the LEXINGTON CLARION Megaphone VOL. 4 MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1938 NO. 2 In a health contest held at the fair, Lewis Clyde Wright, jun- ior, won first place in one group with 99.5 per cent. Phyllis Stauf- fer, senior, took first in another age group with 99.5 per cent. Don- ald Dean Magnuson, senior, and Marjorie McFarren,'38, tied for sec- ond with 99 per cent. It is report- ed that Marjorie lacked some teeth. Worry! YVorry! What's the mat- ter with this news? It was good fifteen years ago. PF 214 PK KE? The research artists of the Uni- versity of Nebraska have noth- ing on some Lexington boys. While hunting prairie dogs, they sighted a number of queer creatures down in a cistern. Bill Banks thought they would make wonderful speci- mens for biology, but it took per- suasion to induce the boys to help him retrieve these members of the Urodela family. They were out to shoot prey. Some heavy wire and a sack made an excellent net. Merle Morgan and Jack Stuckey held Bill Britton by the feet while he fished around in the dark water. Later, Miss Knapple identified the queer. wrigglers as newts. all :ld 114 IU? Members of the college prepara- tory class in English 12, will feel at ease, and be able to talk with force, if ever called upon to make a speech-at least we hope so! The last ,two Weeks has been one series of ten-minute talks, and recitin' memorized passages - any- thing from Daniel Webster to Bill Nye. Some of these numbers will be given in assembly this week.

SENIORS WAIVE ANNUAL TO PUBLISH CLARION IN BOOK FORM That the school paper will be the only published record of the events of 1938-39 at Lexington high was the 60-8 decision of the senior class at a meeting held Friday, October 7. The plan sors is that ed as usual sisted by a senior class. presented by the spon- the Clarion will be print- by the regular staff, as- selected group from the Special numbers will include one' edition for each class, one for ath- letics, and possibly one for clubs. These will all be bound into a vol- ume with a substantial cover. Cuts to be furnished by the sen- ion class are meant to embellish the columns of the Clarion, and serve to make an attractive record of the year's happenings.

Mississippi Singers Among Entertainers in Art, Music and Science The Tom Thumb circus held in the auditorium September 22, for the elementary pupils, was the first of the National series of programs which Supt. Glenn Miller has secur- ed for this year. The four remain- ing entertainments will be present- ed to all the high schbol students. The circus consisted of trained dogs, monkeys, and a pony that seemed to have unusual skill in mathematics, as well as an eye for colors. According to reports from the grade pupils, his tricks astound- ed them. On November 2, Harry C. White will operate his own gongs in his electrical demonstration of the won- ders of modern science. I The third program of music, art and fun will be presented January 9, by Daniel Dew and Company. This is an especially popular num- ber because of its variety. For all those who are interested in spirit mediums, astrologers, and fortune tellers, perhaps the program on February 21 will be enlightening. Seance demonstrations of mediums will be presented. The final number will be the Mis- sissippi Jubilee Singers on May 1. Plantation melodies, c 1 o g g i n g, strumming of banjos with skilled fingers-all help to bring the spirit of the Old South. SPIZ ELECTS MEMBERS AND MAKES NEW PLANS Spiz members are simply bubbling over with vim, vigor and imagina- ,tion as they don new costumes com- posed of black capes lined with yel- low, and cocky yellow caps with black letters above the bills spell- ing Lexington. With the sixteen new members- .Dorothy Duryea, Ethel Mae Peder- isen, Lola Kumpf, Ruth Haworth, Betty Fellers, Charlotte Newman, Dorothy Spuhler, Bill Doughty, Bob Westfall, Phyllis Roe, Chester Brit- ton, Lois Wells, Gene Carroll, Jack Turley, Marcia McKee, and Dick Duffey-it is hoped much enthus- iasm and pep will be displayed this Iyear.
