December 19, 1947 THE LEXHIPEP Page 3 LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS Dear Santa, Since I have been an exceedingly good girl this year, i don’t think it would be asking too much for you to send me a new ’48 Ford. My old one is just about worn out. Thank you, Betsy Sink P.S. Please send me my diploma. Dear Betsy, The thing for you to do is to start looking for a ’43 copper penny and treat Mrs. Hedrick very nice. Santa Dear Santa, I don’t want anything for myself, but you had better bring Pete Clark a girl, because if I have anything to do with it, he won’t have Peggy Costner very long! Always hoping and trying. Jack Swaim Dear Jackie Boy, I will bring Pete a girl, as you requested, but you’ll have to put on the “Casanova pressure’’ yourself in reference to your affair with Peggy. Hoping to please, Santa.

Santa , Dear Santa, We would like to have a new school, but until we can, will you try to show the students how Important it is to take care of the one we have? We wonder if you could persuade the students of L. H. S. to take more pride in keeping their school building neat and clean. Santa, second, we would like for you to use your influence in assembly to help the students behave, and will you please walk down the halls a couple of tim^, that is if you can stand up, and see what you can do about the running in the halls? We wonder if you would give the students of L. H. S, a real picture of themselves so that they can see themselves as others do and profit from this experience, and third, please bring some of the fellows of L. H. S. some rules on good manners—such as, courtesy to girls and teachers, and the importance of removing hats in the building— (suggested by some of the girls of L. H. S.) And please suggest to the girls that they be better housekeepers, keeping neater lockers. After aU they might eventually be housekeepers! ’ ^ We are thankful for our success so far this year, and hope that you will' be able to bring us greater success in the future. So here’s to a good student body—and a happy 1948! Sincerely and with love to Santa, Student Government Organization, Lexington High School Dear Student Council Members, Please let me know when you have your next meeting. i will be clad to meet with you. Optimistically, Santa
