April 16, 1948 THE LEXHIPEP Page 5 Spring Scandals BY 2 SPRING ONIONS “Come, and trip it, as you go. On the light fantastic toe.” —Milton And it seems as if the Leap Year dance might have done some good. At least there has been a lot of dating recently! T. D. was seen at the hayride with Kitty. You’re slipping nuh-nuh! Johnny Sink and Billie Pritts have what we would say, a real case of love! The lake hais been a very popular place for the last couple of Sundays. Let’s hope there will be more good times there! Speaking of the lake, a few Sundays ago nine couples ventured down to cook supper; among them were: Banes and Mary Jane, Carolyn and J. L,. Jane and Bill, Pete and Peggy and many others. Prom the report we got, everyone had lots of fun!!! Betty Anne (the lucky stiff) was weighted down with a gorgeous orchid Easter Sunday, and she also had Benny as her escort to church!! Plowers weren’t as plentiful this year. The boys were either gone or broke!! (We believe they left town on purpose and spent their money on themselves instead of their girls. (Extroverts! Now look that up.) Jane received beautiful roses from Zacky, however. Some of the more adventurous boys spent the Eatser week-end on the lake. On their return a few of them were minus girls, but that was soon fixed. Right, Cootie?? A couple which should be mentioned is Rodney Clark and Anna Hedrick. They are inseparable!! Well, we will give you the facts and you can figure it out. Tommy Wicks and Betsy Myers have been seen quite a lot together, but so have Betty Rose and Tommy, so we’ll let them fight it out, and may the best gal win!! Nancy, if you had gone with Doug Thursday night, he might have been prevented from that nice five-hour hike he had!! (It might have also been more pleasant for Doug!!) , There is one case we can always rely on for a change each month. Mike and Eanes have disbanded and Mike is dating Hubert and Woody; maybe soon there will be only one!!! Many of the college students were home last week-end which added to the parties and good times. Sue got her man back. Becky and A. J. were seen dating two cute boys from Baltimore, and the others were just seen!! Raker, Pete, and Newell returned from the beach on Monday with lovely sun tans or burns, should we say! Anyway, we are glad they are back, aren’t we, Mary Anne and Peggy? Verona’s picnic was quite a success during Easter, so we heard. Barbara and Monk, and lots of other couples were seen having a hug—e time!! Other couples along with Verona and Jaybird were: Shirley and M. T., Bobby Glenn and Jerry Butler, Barbara and Jim Barger, and Jack and Joyce!!! A new fad (or isn’t it old?) seems to be peroxided hair; we no longer have brownettes and brunettes ,they are all red heads and blondes! (regret fully for some!) A handsome couple who seem to hit it off fine is that gal with the new look (June Williamson) and her man whom she hangs on to, or is it vice versa, Jimmy??! The Seniors are especially glad to have the opportunity to patronize an alumnus of L. H. S. We hope all you folks will visit Raplh’s Plower Shop about the time of Mother’s Day and the Junior-Senior Banquet. We’ll be seeing you at the Jr.-Sr., and the Senior Class play. We hope!! Time Changes Everything —Ruth Jenkins 1 YEAR AGO Sue Hooper and Bob Tate Star in Annual Senior Class Production. Easter corsages were plentiful this year among the L.H.S. students. John son sent Becky several baby orchids. Bill sent Sue baby orchids, and ‘"Tub- ba” sent Joanne an orchid. Last minute trips to Winston for the Easter Services were taken by: Johnnie and Mary Anne; ^ardrock and Barbara, Mike and Harold, and Nancy and Bob Peeler. Well ,it isn’t long before the Junior- Senior banquet and for once practi cally all the girls already have bids. It looks as if the country club will be filled with couples on the night of May 9. Another Gosnell episode is Jack and Betty Weese. An everlasting affair. “Life Begins At Sixteen” To Be Pre sented Tonight by Junior Class. ’Tri-Hi-Y Crowns L.H.S. King and Queen in Ceremony. 2 YEARS AGO Senator and Ex-Governor Hoey Ad dresses Student Body. It seems like a lot of people in Lexington High like Italian spaghetti by the way it was eaten one Friday night. At Peaceful Acres, the country home of the Hartzogs, a number of boys and girls cooked their own sup per. It was pretty good for begin ners, and it certainly was fun. What you say, guys and gals, why don’t we do it more often! Heavenly Music was what everybody thought when Joe Ayers sang in Win ston-Salem April 5. Joe won first place, and he will therefore go to Greensboro to compete with other winning musicians. We are proud of Joe, and we wish him lots of luck in Greensboro. Well, when it comes to bells, L.H.S. “takes the cake”! But we really are proud of our bell system. So all you students get a move on yourselves, be cause if you’re late three times it’s “so-long.” * Etiquette Club to Have Prom. 3 YEARS AGO Ramona Shaw To Be Crowned May Queen in Spring Festival, May 4. Jean Rollins’ constant thoughts are of J. L. Peeler. But, Jean, just where does Joanne fit into the picture? Wonder why Eunice Auman likes Spencer so much? Are there really some cute boys over there? Well, what do you know!! Ronnie Morgan needs a haircut—Martha Har- binson promised her mother she’d stop biting her fingernails—oranges are 50 cents a dozen. There’re only 32 more days of school. “Stunt Night” Tonight Promises Much Fun. As reported by one of his camp companions. Bill Everhart spoke of nothing but Pearl and the Marine Corps in his sleep. But don’t get us wrong; Pearl has no connections with the Marine Corps; she is a member of the Koonts family. (Lala to most of you.) THE EYES AND EARS OF LEXINGTON HIGH (and mouth!) THE WALKIN’ MAN (Continued from page one) teen miles of the ole hup, two, three, four. Doug arrived home just in time for breakfast, after which he left for the lake again for the weekend (not walk in’) with a group of boys who re ported the weather as cold, rainy, cloudy, and windy—the water as chop py and rough—and the week end as one miserable affair. Don’t mention lake in L.H.S. for a while; It ain’t healthy. mm —Mary Jo Sharpe THE CHICAGO FIRE A short one-tenth act play— Scene; The interior of Mrs. O’Leary’s barn. Cow is chomping hay in one corner. Cow—“Moo.” Enter Mrs. O’Leary singing— “In a little town in Ireland Which rested by the sea. In the grassy, swamp mire land There grew a shamrock tree! Now shamrocks do no4 grow on trees. No Irish shamrock dares . . . Who cares?!!!” Cow—“Moo.” (Mrs. O’Leary lights lantern, sits upon three-legged stool and begins to milk cow..) Cow—“Moo.” (Exit Mrs. O’Leary. Enter boy and girl.) Boy—“Darling, I love you!” (Kisses girl. Girl slams boy over the head with the three-legged stool. Boy falls. Exit girl.) Cow—“Moo.” (Enter Irish cop.) Cop—“Begorra! It’s murder! Who dunnit? The cow! The cow must have dunnit!” Hay catches fire. (Barn burns.) Cow—“Moo!!!” (Kicks over lantern. CURTAIN —The Loudspeaker Love-making hasn’t changed in two thousand years. Greek maidens used to sit and listen to a lyre all evening too.—The Weavings. Tramp! Tramp!

That electric heater in the hall has been on all day!” Maid: “Don’t worry, ma’am. I bor rowed it from next door!” Willie Bee rushed up to Johnny Ply, handed him a big fat cigar. “I’m so happy!” he exclaimed. “I just got a bumble from heaven.”—The Ashmorian. A Scotchman was told by his doctor that his wife should have had her tonsils taken out when she was a little girl. He had the operation performed —and sent the bill to his father-in-law. —“Bur-Mil” News. If you want to remember things. Tie a string around your finger. If you want to forget things.
