“If there comes a little thaw,
Still the air is chilled raw,
Here and there a patch of snow.
Dirtier than the ground below.
Dribble down a marshy flood.
Ankle-deep you stick in mud.
In the meadows while you sing.
This is Spring.”
—C. P. Cranch
This poem expresses the way we feel about winter, and how we wish
Spring would hurry!!
It looks like the couple of warm days gave some people the “spring fever.’
For instance, it brought Joanne and Carroll back together and we are
really proud of you!!!
Seen at the LEXHIPEP dance were loads of such as Martha and Jimmy,
Zacky and Jane, Joanne and “Tubba,” Martha and Bill, and “Peahead” and
Mary Nell!!
All the girls were looking pretty and the boys were giving them that
Valentine courtesy!!!
Jane Gordon received a box of Valentine candy from Bill (lucky stiff)
so far as we know she’s the only fortunate one!!
Well, this is really getting to be confusing. Mike went down to Carolina
to the' dances with Hubert, but the two nights of the Follies, she was seen
with Bill Eanes and it’s rumored that Bill and Sue are all off. Well let you
draw your own conclusions. (What’s happened to “Rabbit” and Woody?)
We’re really glad to see ever-loving gals get “fellows” back. In these
days and times it isn’t easy, with so many gals after the same man! We
speak of none other than Peggy and Betty Anne. More power to you!!
Were you at the Follies? If you weren’t you missed the best part of
your life. It really was super-duper!!
We’re glad to see Sunny get back in the swing of things again (and we
don’t mean the Follies); we mean with Barbara. Hang on, Barbara!!
The dance Saturday night really gave those gals a break. We’re sorry
we can’t report on the after effects, but we’ll tell you a little something about
the before!!
Shirley Dabbs is going to get her man. She's got determination and
here’s to her!!
At the Valentine’s dance the Senior boys took the freshmen girls for
a spin, or was it visa versa??? Whatever, the boys really had some cute
gals!! (One especially from Statesville.)
So you think L. H. S. has some jitterbugs? Well, if you ask us, Robbins
School has us beat one hundred per cent!!
Another up-coming couple is J. L. and Carolyn, and who could And a
better match!! Good looks and brains!!
Doug Craver has already refused ten girls; he says he’s waiting for just
the right one!! Who knows—it might be you!!
It’s really getting serious with James Tate and his girl. They are con
stantly seen in the halls!!
An everlasting affair is Bob and “Teeny” (with the new look!!!).
What happened to Mary Jane and all her beaus? We haven’t seen her
around much lately!!!
We'll see you again in the early Spring!!

know.
Question: Was your feller good to

me some candy if there’s any left.

A famous European king greatly ad
mired a beautiful court lady. One day
he asked her age. She replied, “Your
majesty, I am 25.”
Five years later he again put the
same question to her. She again re
plied, “Your majesty, I am 25.”
“See here,” said the king, “you told
me that five years ago.”
“Certainly,” she said. “I am not one
of those ladies who say one thing one
day and another the next.” — The
Scholastic Teacher.
“■What’s that new girl’s name?’’
“I’ve forgotten, but it begins with
‘M’.”
“Is it Mildred? Martha? Mary?
Margaret?”
“No. I remember now. It’s Emma.”
Sheriff: “Did you catch the auto
thief?”
Deputy: “No! He sure was a lucky
bird. We had chased him only a mile
when our 1,000 miles were up and we
had to stop and change the oil.”
“I hope you paid your taxes with
a smile last week.”
“I wanted to, but the man insisted
on cash.”
