P12 P14 bk EF The ropes in the halls are doing a nice job of keeping the calves out till the bell rings, but why not use a charged wire and make it really hog tight? PF P14 S4 ICT Mr. Ashton's new radio used for demonstration Tuesday has a mystery box all right, but it still has the weakness of ours at home- once he gets K.M.M.J. he can't get rid of it. 11 is in :TF On Freshman Day during the first week, one hundred frosh came out cock robin fashion with trouser legs trimming knee bones, giris capped in green or carrying weed bouquets, one and all bowing to upper classmen. Pk 14 214 iff So that the north side of dear ol' L.H.S. will not look tawdry made by debris left from noon lun- chers, students will eat in the li- brary. Another advantage in the plan is that in winter a sandwich will not iinish freezing to one's tongue be- fore he reaches the middle of it. All this signifies thanks to Principal Ashton and Superintendent Miller. xi? How you used to hate 'swish- ing' and 'swashing' through the snow and mud every winter in cross- ing the road north of the school. This will be avoided as the country cars are to be parked on the south side of the road. Now last, but not immaterial, is the thing we all have in common-we enter at 8:30 and disperse at 5:00. Coming no sooner, and leaving no later, who can say you are teacher's pet? Sli Pl: PF KT' Oh, you treacherous villain! No, you won't actually hear those words, but if you should see some young charge's mouth framing a decided Oh! don't think of Martha Raye. It's none other than Miss Mitcheil's public speaking-minded proteges learning the art of panto- mime. This week they are introduc- ing pantomime into story telling. According to reports from the mem- bers of the class, this study is very interesting. 1 New Office Rooms Evolve From Cutting Cement Wall is : :za:s.:s:z:s:1-' '-za:s:ag:a:sg .:s:sssz1zi M SE E5551525555EiE5E2EiiE25e2a5eEe5a2 s 3 lf? 1 :-:Y::-,- . ....

Ashton, Lexington high's new principal, comes from Snyder, where he left the superin- tendent's chair. He is a graduate of Lincoln high school and of the University of Nebraska, where he took his master's degree in second- ary education last summer. At the university, Mr. Ashton was captain of Company K and a member of the military fraternity, Scabbard and Blade. He belonged also to the Delta Chi, Sigma Gam- ma Epsilon, Phi Delta Kappagsoc- ial, professional and educational fra- ternities. One year he was chair- man of Engineers' Week, an annual event comparable to Open Night in this school. While in high school, he was in- terested in basketball, track, and scout work. Later he became an Eagle Scout and organized a troop at Howells and at Snyder. When he left Snyder, he was Scout District Commissioner with jurisdiction over eight troops. A native of Lincoln, he compares Lexington with his picturesque city for its great number of trees. On seeing the 1938 Mfnute Man, he complimented the school very high- ly on its achievement. Principal Ashton, we welcome you to our school. M. C. Waste Space Becomes Useful for Various Activities Surprised Ah's were legion Monday, September 6, when students reached the top of the north stairs on the second floor to discover that part of the east wall had been re- placed by a silver coated iron fence guarding a covered, narrow pass- ageway which leads to the new of- flees. These rooms, once the annual copy-writing nook and storeroom, are re-decorated and furnished with the customary equipment, and made more attractive with monks cloth curtains on short movable rods. Ad- jo'ning the front office on the north- east, is a small supply room built three or four steps above the main floor. From a door placed in the middle of the south side of the front office, one may go down to another series of rooms that lead one to believe that Supt. Miller not only studled how to get passageways into new offices, but that he connived with the gods to make it impossiblefor anyone to get out. This second series, which was once the superintendents quarters when the building was new, affords a conference room for teachers and pupils, a convenient place to show slides, a small room for the ditto machine and workers, and an ade- quate storeroom for supplies not needed so frequently as those up- stairs. Altogether, t h e s e improvements seem to utilize hitherto unaccessible space, and apparently save time of officials in having equipment where it can be used with the least waste of energy. Supt. Miller said with a smile, Tell them this is the last time the office will be moved. I'm much pleased with present arrangements.
