Hello, there, all you good people:
it’s time once again for the Christ
mas edition, it shouldn’t be hard for
everyone to get into the spirit of
things with the cold, brisk weather
and the Christmas lights. We’ve got
plenty to gossip about this time. So
settle down for a nice long chat.
It seems as if everyone is once
again getting into the swing of things
and these boys are opening up their
eyes. For instance, Robert Kepley has
his eyes on Shirley Richardson, and
vice versa.
An old couple that we haven’t men
tioned lately is Jim Barger and Ger
aldine Leonard; they seem to have an
everlasting affair.
We were certainly glad to see sc
many visitors from out of town Friday
night at the dance. (Especially from
Salisbury??!!)
“Rabbit” Leonard, you really better
watch “Lib”. She’s a popular little
gal and hard to hold. There’s a col
lege student who has his eyes very
much on her!!
That smile of June Williamson’s is
enough to put stars in any one’s eyes
and I guess it must be catching ’cause
Louis Hedrick keeps one most of the
time. (When he’s writh June.)
It’s really getting bad when a boy
can’t stay away from his girl for a
whole period, but that’s the situation
with Joe Honeycutt and Patty Hege.
He had to get her out of Miss Wal-
ser’s room one morning just to look
at her!!!
L'exlngton High is getting famous
for her “engagements.” “Known” i:
three—Jimmy Blue Sowers to Bill
Morris, Miss Bain to some cute guy
(Elmer Nance), and Ruth Jean Huff
man, who plans to be married Christ
mas Eve! Congratulations!!
Seen together constantly are Maxine
Kepley and Don Farrington.
We’ll give you the details and you
can figure it out the best you can
“Mike” has everyone going around in
circles; she went to the Hi-Y hayride
with Johnnie McCrary and ended up
with “Benny”. Well, I think “Benny’’
has hooked her, but Johnnie has sure
learned his lesson in trusting women!
Chub ?? Well, he has a fickle mind,
but only one heart, and believe us
it belongs to “Frankie”.
Also seen on the hayride were Hugh
and Mary Nell (old flames), Barbara
and Hubert (taking up all the room),
and Joanne and Charlie (standing up).
But with all the confusion it was a
swell hayride!!
It’s no use, girls; “Smoocher” is a
one woman’s man and that woman is
Adelaide and has been for some time.
You know the old saying, “If you
can’t get what you want, get the next
best”? Well, Jimmy Poston took the
hint and Martha Hooper, too; and a
dam good choice, we’d say!!
Bob H., you may not know it, but
if you’ll stop arguing with “Bull” long
enough, you’d And that you have com
petition with Mary Jane Shirley and
it’s plenty tough, too. Are we right,
Jimmy Dillon?
Jack is getting to be a habit with
Enid!! (Betty, you and Woody better
wake up.)
Well! Well! Marlene is crazy about
“Hardrock”, who is crazy about Bar
bara, who feels the same about Hu
bert! What’s going to happen is yet
to be seen, but keep your eyes open
for a collision!
Gee! Carolyn, why don’t you give
T. D. a break!!? After all, it’s not
often he gets a crush on a girl!!
We think Jimmy Plott’s constant
partnership with Peggy Costner in the
gym is more than just dancing. Peggy
hopes so, anyway!
Speaking of crushes! That cute 111
black-headed Nancy Koonts has one
on Harold Carter! She is one more
cute girl. Carter.
You can’t ever tell about these peo
ple such as Peggy Wood, who Is kept
on the go by Tommy Young. Who
knows? “Mouse” might get fooled!!
Flash! and we do mean flash! Henry
Wall is now dating Betsy Swicegood!!
Nice going, Henry! “Call for Jack
Alber!”
Well! at last! Becky has finally
hooked her man, at least half-way
Pete, quit stalling!
Now where could you find a better
match than Buddy Beck and Amelia
Brown? You just couldn’t!!
It seems as if the Hickory gals are
more alluring than the Lexingtor
ones?? Isn’t that true, Gramp and
Blake???? (Don’t throw that dagger
at us, “Red,” please!!)
Evelyii McDade’s heart is in High
Point with Don Kepley who is a stu
dent at High Point College. You keep
on being true, Evelyn, ’cause it pays
off sooner or later!
We don’t want to give away any se
crets, but some of you people surely
have got some surprises coming tc
you December 25!!
Time, space, and Mrs. Hedrick com
pel us to leave you again. But there’s
plerity in store for the next issue, so
until then “Merry Christmas” and a
“Happy, Happy New Year.”

A Christmas Prayer
Our Heavenly Father,
We thank thee for the peace hero
