January 24, 1947 THE LEXHIPEP Page 5 LEXHIPEEPERS VVE.I.U. Were you disappointed because there wasn’t any snow Christmas, or were you sauslied witn all the good-looking presents you got? Well, here are a few people who were quite satisfied with their gifts. Caroll made Joanne B. happy on Christmas Day by giving her a good- looking bracelet. In return Joanne gave Caroll her likeness. Betty Anne’s records will be kept well In The nice big record box that Johnny gave her. She gave him a watch band. Bracelets! Bracelets! Seems as if the jewelry business really prospered this year, especially over Jane s and Bill’s way. Bill gave Jane a lovely rhine stone bracelet, and she gave him an identification bracelet. (He didn’t have it long before he lost it, but we are pleased to report that he soon foimd it.) Barbara gave Hardrock a billfold in which to keep the money that h* made during Christmas which he didn’t have after he bought her a lovely bracelet. Christmas Day, Jimmy brought Mary Anne something for her neck (don’t get the wrong impression); it was a lovely string of gold pearls. In return she gave him a yellow sweater which he has worn quite frequently more than some have done!) Sue gave Bill a fur-lined jacket to keep him warm. (I guess she is tired.) Bill gave Sue pearls (the logical thing). Christmas Eve, Pete gave Becky two albums of records, and she returned the thought by givmg him her love (and it was very noticeable). People were very considerate and sensible this year by giving records to those who were fortunate enugh to receive record players. Zacky was one of these sensible people he also gave Jane lipstick and a hair clasp. She gave him a sweater and a belt. (These boys ought to be warm this winter.) It looks as if the sweater business was as good as the bracelet. Right, Tubba? Joanne received a beautilul jewelry box with a lapel pin in it!! By the way, most of these sweaters were green, so if you see any, you’ll know they’re something special! Now, Harold, take Mike’s hint and use that fountain pen (and also a pretty tie) next year. Mike was in style with a rhinestone bracelet. This is really getting contagious; I mean engagements of course. Johnny Canady gave Betty York a diamond, and Evelyn also received one from Don Kepley (and a cook book). Evelyn, take that hint and learn to cook! No doubt he likes to eat!! I hear we’re six months late on this news but it’s news to us about Ruth Klnny and Buddy Crowell. Speaking of Ruth, we know she must be pleased to have her best friend as a sister-in-law, even though you did shock us all, June- luck to you Mrs. Kinney! ’ Mary Anne received a beautiful ring and locket set in zircons, and she gave Johnnie a good-looking l.D. bracelet. Even though Gerry spent Christmas in Baltimore, she and Erne had their exchange of gifts. A compact for her and a Ronson cigarette lighter for him!! Becky Potts received an l.D. bracelet from Steve, and he in turn received her picture. James Tate's mind is in another vicinity which leaves him here only in body. We hope he makes a return engagement to Kings Mountain soon! Now Pat will be able to tell Bill what time to go home since he gave her that good-looking watch (as if she wants him to go home!). She gave him her picture, a key chain and a “liT’ knife! We’re sure you all remember "Virginia Byers, of the class of ’45. Well, she received quite a large and everlasting present. Herbert Rhodw (her husband). A new case we’d like to mention is “Squirrel” and Enid. They really have been seeing a lot of each other and we think that’s swell! Betsy Myers almost stood on her head when she got a Christmas card from Sonny. She says he’s sort of shy, but it certainly doesn’t look that way from our point of view! Martha and Jimmy are really hitting it off, and talk about jitterbugs, they are plenty good together. Martha gave Jimmy a key chain and he gave her a bracelet! Jack Alber and Betsy Swicegood exchanged pins! A fountain pen for him and a lapel pin for her. By the way, that was a false rumor about their engagenvent, but it was a good idea! And so it goes from Christmas to basketball. So we’ll see you at the games. We have two very good teams this year, so let’s back them up!
