Whafs In A Name?
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet.—Shakespeare.
—Nancy Witherspoon
A great person once said, ‘"There are three degrees of intelligence among
high school students. They are either idiots, imbeciles, or morons.” Since
that gives us a mental age between two and eight years, I hope you will
enjoy this little game. You begin by taking a name for which there is a
synonym or an antonym, or which can be used as a verb. Then compose a
little three-line jingle with the name as the last line. You don’t imderstand?
Well, after reading a few of them you’ll get the idea.

See? It’s really simple. Now my only worry is the reaction of the peo
ple whose names I used. Please! It’s all in fun. Besides, I know you really
like to see your name in the paper, don’t you?
‘‘A chrysanthemum by any other name would be easier to spell.”—Young.
Dear Mr. Cleare Solution,
I have a problem that I hope you can help me solve.
There are two boys in my life, and each one wants me to “go steady”
with him. I am having a terrible time trying to figure out which one to
go with. I really do like them both. But to let you understand it better,
I will give you a description of each!
Krst, there is Bob. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and is about 5’ 11”.
He is on our football squad and a very good player. When we are together
I think that he is “the one”. Now and then we have arguments which
usually end with him taking me home.
Second, there is Johnny. His hair is black and very wavy. His eyes
are blue and he is about 6’ 1”. He is the captain of the football squad.
Everyone thinks he is great. When we are together, i also think he is “the
one”. He is very nice, and we almost never quarrel.
When Bob comes to see me, he always calls Mom and Dad by their first
names and just makes himself at home. But when Johnny comes he always
respects Mom and Dad and is very courteous.
And—Why, Mr. Solution, I think I have the answer to my problem.
I just never did compare the boys, or I guess I would have kno'wn before
that—Johnny was the’ one.-
Thanks to you anyway.
Little Barrel o’ Happiness
Dear Lil Barrel o’ Happiness,
If everyone did as you did in your letter, I would be out of business.
But what does it matter so long as everyone’s happy?

Well, hello, all you happy (i hope)
people. Anyway, you ought to be
happy ’cause exams are over, and
whether or not your knowledge
showed up so well on paper, you can
at least rest easy until next semester.
By now I guess everybody has gotten
into the swing of going to school
again. Everybody must have come
home for the holidays this year or
rather last year, and it certainly
seemed grand to see all you alumni.
Lots of the Alumni came up here to
L. H. S. and visited us and write
in our register.
Jake Cross (U.N.C.): I never dream
ed that I could miss this place so
much. It’s a wonderful place (U.N.C.)
but I still think that L.H.S. is “Tops.”
Jack Lancaster (Wake Forest):
Wake Forest is a swell place and I
like it a lot, but ole L.H.S. is still the
best place yet.
“Tinker” Williams (Wake Forest):
I didn’t realize what a swell place
this is until i left it! (Wake Forest is
O.K. too.)
Mel Palmer (Catawba College): It’s
nice to be back among the swell people
of L.H.S.
Barbara Lawrence (High Point Col
lege) : It’s good to come back to L.H.S.
I think L.H.S. still is tops and I miss
her a great deal!
Hubert Olive (U.N.C.): It is just
wonderful to return to L.H.S., and I
wish that my high school days were
ahead of me Instead of behind me.
Jean Coggins (W.C.U.N.C.): S’mighty
good to be back up here receiving
the same genuine welcome that L.H.S.
students have always given the alumni.
“Pat” Gordon (W.C.U.N.C.): It’s
great to be back. Everything looks
good to me! It seems too wonderful
to be away from W.C. and back at
L.H.S. (at least for a little while).
Joe Ayers: It’s really good to be
back in Lexington and to visit the
good ole’ Lexington High School!
