By We I. U.
We’ll just have to take out time from exams to write the gossip but
don’t blame us for anything we might say!!
It seems like a long time since Christmas, but it really hasn’t been
Were the boys extravagant?
Becky Potts received two diamonds instead of one because they were
set in a watch that Tommy gave her. Tommy received an electric razor''
This thing is getting serious!!
Alene Staton received a sparkler for the third finger left hand from
Lonnie!!!
. Well, we’re a little late, but we were slow in finding out about the new
affair between Whitey ’ and Olivia. (She received a beautiful bracelet from
him for Christmas.)
Roland sent Nancy Keating (Achenson, Kansas) a clock for Christmas to
remind him of the lost time behind them caused by distance.
Basketball is really underway with a bang in the boys carrying an un
defeated record and the girls a defeated record, but there’s plenty of time
for improvement (we hope)!
Bill Cook is really on the loose but he's also plenty particular ,so watch
him, girls, there s no telling where he’ll land next!
We ve been requested to ask; Why don’t some of those eighth grade bovs
get some sense? = » j
Here’s one of those eternal triangles again. Curtis Morrow likes Janice
Johnson, but she likes Jerry Perxins, and vice versa!! Let’s hope it turns
out all right!!
B’rom what we hear, Salisbury is an all right town. What about it Price”
There are some teachers who are steady daters. We aren’t sure of whom
they date, but here are the lucky teachers; Miss Hill, Miss Hollingsworth
Miss Philbeck, Miss Gilliam and Miss Harrel.
■ Recently John Foust has been talking to Marlene Peeler between periods
and during basketball games. Is this any sign of anything?
Blake Phillips was seen with a good-looking blonde after the Mooresville
basketball game. Wiio is the lucky girl?
While interviewing Thomas Dodds (Capt. Midnight) Stokes, Jr., we find
that he dates no particular girl. We quote him as saying- “i just thrill
them all.”
Speaking of Christmas gifts, Jane Strelitz is now wearing a lovely ring
and Zacky has a pen and pencil set!!!
Jane Gordon and Mary Anne both received identical music boxes!!
Martha and Harold exchanged a make-up set and her picture!!
We’re sure you’ve all seen “Star” Grayson! (So have Pat Randolph and
Sally Griffith.) Welcome, Jimmy, to ole L. H. S.!!
Who is this secret lover of Anglos Lindsey!! We can’t find out. Some
one let us in on it!!!
Mike also received a lovely ring from Rabbit (for the right hand) But
they are on the outs now and Mike has her mind on Davidson or Carolina"
More power to you??!!
You ve seen that cute Janet Brown. Well, she’s no vegetarian because
she really goes for “Meatball” Shytle!! (So we hear.)
Another ninth grade couple is Jesse Church and Wayne Crowell!!
We ve been informed that this one is definitely a deep love!! Johnnie
Barnes and Marion Rowe!!!
It has been rumored that Thomas Trogden is stuck on Peggy Edwards *
(Only a very slight rumor!!)
Peggy McCulloch was really rating at Mooresville with some sharp-
looking black-headed boy!!! ? ?
Wasn’t it wonderful to celebrate New Year’s without having to come to
school? But, oh, the next morning was like the morning after the night
before!!! .
It isn t long until Valentine, so some of you make-up and break-up couples
get together and make up for a change!
All you gals better be thinking about whom you are going to ask to the
Leap Year dance the 29th of February ’cause that’s your big chance See
you there!!

PROPER PRECAUTIONS
A fellow, carrying a 100-pound bomb,
got on a London bus and sat down.
“What’s that you’ve got on your
lap?” asked the conductor.
“Its a delayed-action bomb I’m tak
ing to the police station,” came the
answer.
“Lumme!” exclaimed the conductor.
“You don’t want to carry a think like
that in your lap. Put it under the
seat.”
BE MAGNANIMOUS
The Texas-born captain of an all-
Texas company in North Africa told
his men “One of our jobs here is to
promote friendliness. We’ve got to
humor the natives. If they say Africa
is bigger than Texas, agree with
them.”—The Ashmorian.
ERIN GO BRAGH!
Barry Fitzgerald reported for his
role in “The Sainted Sisters” and had
a preproduction lunch with the pro
ducer, Richard Maibaum. Their con
versation concerned Barry’s role.
“Tell me,” Barry asked, “did ye write
me part in Irish?”
‘Of course, Barry,” said Maibaum.
“All your dialogue was rewritten after
we were sure you were going to do
the part.”
Well, that’s fine,” the genial Barry
replied, “only ye really needn’t have
bothered. Ye could have written it
in Scandinavian, and it would have
come out Irish just the same.”
ALL MIXED UP
“The thing for you to do,” said the
doctor to the man with frazgled
nerves, “is to stop thinking of your
self. Bury yourself in your work.“
“Can’t.”
“Why not?”
“Concrete mixer.”
What is the difference between a
blind man and a sailor in prison?
