Page 2 THE LEXHIPEP December 19, 1947 Club iidty —Agaes Wilson New Members Attend Beta Club Meeting The Beta Club met on December ! for its first meeting with the new members which were elected a few weeks ago to become members. The meeting was mainly for the purpose of welcoming all the new Beta Club members, which included thir teen. The members also discussed who would attend the State-wide meeting in Raleigh for the members of the Beta Club. However, it was still im- decided how many and who would go, and will be carried over to the next meeting to decide who will attend.

Safari —^Nancy Witherspoon Future Homemakers Add Twenty Members On Tuesday, November 11, twenty girls taking home economics were ini tiated into the Lexington Chapter of the Futme Homemakers of America after having met the requirements for membership. The initiation service was carried out by candlelight, with the president, Betty Weese, presiding. After the meeting was called to order, the eight purposes were given and the creed was repeated. The roll was called and the new members were welcomed into the club. The pro- ;ram for the evening consisted of alks made by the girls who attended the White Lake camp during the smn- mer. Club projects were discussed during the business session, and vari ous committees were appointed. The meeting was adjourned after which candy and drinks were served. The officers of the club are: Betty weese, president; Sarah Tussey, vice- iresident; Jo Anne Perrel, secretary; md Nancy Foster, treasurer. The new members are: Carolyn Myers, Virginia Wilson, Margaret Hin son, Joan Kearns, Johnnie Mae Wal lace, Dorothy Mae Ijconard, Bessie I^ee Surratt, Evelyn Swicegood, Carolyn Bailey, BUlie Flritts, B)etsy Stoner, Joanie Greene, Amelia Brown, Hazel Clark, Jackie Snyder, Barbara Trex- ler, Peggy Summey, Maxine Bussell, Nancy Haynes, and Nell Haynes. As the first rays of the morning sun crept over the rooftops, our party maae finai preparations for the long and perilous journey which lay on the trail ahead, liefore departing we made a final check of our equipment. K-rations, canteens, camp chairs, tents, cots, mess kits, sleeping bags, and Dlanxet rolls all were ready. Now to begin our dangerous expedition Into the land of those wild savages, those inhuman monsters, the average Christ mas shoppers! Our happy hunting ground was to be the city of Metropolis, which lies fifty miles to the west oi us. The journey was a hard one, for many fierce ammals lay in wait along me trail, hoping for prey to ambush. We were fortunate that we were able to get through without any serious damage oeing inflicted upon our caravan. We did find it necessary, however, to kiU three Buicks ana a Cadillac along with several Crosleys and other small game. Upon arriving at our destination we checked our elephant guns and revolvers. Machetes were given to each member of our party to enable us to hack our way through the dense forest of people. First on our Christmas list was a nightshirt for grandpa. At first this seemed a simple task, but we weie momentarily discouraged by a flanking attacK maae oy a dozen briage club women armed with umbrellas and hat pins. When we finally reached the nightshirt counter, we were confronted oy a creature with an acute case of salesgirl’s sneer. Alter a brief but bitter ecounter in nightshirts we found ourselves in ladies’ lingerie. We mounted our polo ponies and made a beeline lor toys. After about six hours we were able to pry ourselves away from the toys and were on the street once again. We struggled back to our caravan, only to find a seven-foot, two hun dred pound policeman who informed us that the parking meter had rim out. xie then presented us with a nice parking ticket tied with red ribbon and adorned by a sprig of holly. Alter he bade us a Merry Christmas and a lew unprintable tnings, we filled the meter with slugs and were off again. I had promised a friend of mine a floorwalker, stuffed and mounted, so I made plans for capturing an especially rare specimen which I had previously spotted in the bargain basement of a large department store. Stalking him proved rather difficult. It soon became evident that it would oe necessary to dig a pit and trap him. Since the floors were concrete, compressed air hammers were needed. Fortunately these could not be heard above the din made by the shoppers. Alter capturing the floorwalker, I bound and gagged him and started back to the caravan. i tied the trophy to the hood of the lead car, packed my equipment, and awaited the return of the other members of the party. They arrived shortly, bringing with them both the scars and the trophies of battle. Luckily, all the members of our expedition had managed to survive. And so with heavy hearts, we bade “au revoir” to the thrills and dangers of the outdoor life and started for home once more, leaving behind many memories of the Land of Christmas Shoppers. With humble apologies to Asa Johnson. L.H.S. Lion’s Bowl Queen Mozel Ferrell MOZEL FERRELL QUEEN OF THE LION’S BOWL Mozel Ferrell was chosen to rep resent Lexington High School as loot- ball queen for the Lions’ Bowl in Hickory on November 29. She was chosen from eight candidates from the junior and senior classees and well deserved the honor she received. Mozel participated in the parade which began at three o’clock in Hick ory. She and the queen chosen from Morganton rode upon the float which was decorated for the queens by the Lions’ Club of Hickory. Mozel re ceived an orchid which she wore dur ing the parade. Before the game, the queens rode around the field and were given a very loud applause by the spectators.
