January 28, 1949 THE LEXHIPEP Page 5 Fishing For Fun —Bonnie Leonard Miss Stevenson to girls’ basketball team: Well, here we are, unbeaten, untied and unscored upon—and get ting ready for our first game—The Winepress. He: Thanks for the hug. She: Don’t mention it—the pres sure was all mine.—The Winepress. “Papa, there’s a woman peddler at the door.” “Tell him to beat it. I got one too many already.”—The Winepress. A girl’s a minor until she’s 18, Then she becomes a golddigger.— Jefferson News. The codfish lays a million eggs. The barnyard hen but one. The codfish doesn’t cackle. To show what she has done. We scorn the modest codfish. The cackling hen we prize— Proving that beyond a doubt. It pays to advertise! —The Sandspur Life must be worth living; the cost has doubled and we still hang on.— The Sandspur.

L. Evans Motor Company Corner Main and West Second Streets “We Can Fix Your Car Like New” We PlCKUPALUHipiRTl By ’Two New Year’s Resolutions And now at last a new year’s come. And with it also lots of fun— And with it heaps of gossip too. All about you and you and you. For you see we’ve snooped around And, ooh!!l at all the news we found. . We know of all the flirting and whirls— Of all the high school guys and girls— Just what we know would you surprise. For nothing passes our ears and eyes!!!! Hello, kiddoes! How is every little thing?? We’re so weary and sick in our pore lil’ ole minds from cramming so much. These exams are enough to get anybody down—even us. Oh weli, we might as well get started. So open up your big ole’ ears for all the latest dope. Excuse us from overlooking this little ole romance, but it seems as if Martha Jane Leonard and Tommy Bruff have been keeping steady company for quite some time now. Weil, how do you do!!! We always heard that L. H. S. was a haven for love bjrds, but marriages are something a little new—Rodney Clark, we had no idea it was so serious. Miss Sugg has been around with “Fats” Price lately!!! Well, pardon my Southern accent, but heah comes lil’ ole Juanita and her boy friend, “Stinky.” But just where does that pretty Southern gal,i Barbara Ritchie, fit into the picture?? ^ Janet Brown sure has picked her a cute little ole’ fellow—none other than Bob Shytle. Seems as if they both have lots in common, especially playing basketball. We hear that Joanne Blackwelder has been hearing from a mighty cute little ole boy from Georgia named Bill Outz. My, my, but how about these Georgia Crackers? Ruth Tysinger and Blake Phillips, why don’t you two quit quarreling? We know you’re both just crazy about each other!!! Bobby Sink, you booger you. We heard you had a mad crush on some little ole senior girl. Well, boy, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you take some action? Amelia’s been wearing a goreous white angora sweater. It seems as if “Mac” was a mighty good Santa Claus this year. And speaking of “Good Santa Clauses,” somebody was mighty good to Agnes and Barbara this year. Have you all seen those beautiful rings (no, not diamonds) they’ve been flashing around??!! Joy-riding Sunday afternoon we saw Jack Mobley and Juanita Tesh and Elizabeth Clodfelter and Jimmy Rolin from Florida. More power to you, girls!!! Talking about good looking couples—Janice Johnson and Bobby Leonard are one of the best!!! Sarah Tussey and Colleen Story have been dating two good looking gentlemen from Salisbury—smart fellows. Who are these twins, Flonny and Swanny, whom Gilbert and Bob talk about all the time—we’d like to see ’em. At long last the great J. L. has fallen—but hard!!! You can see Carolyn and J. L. walking down the halls while changing classes and in the LEXHI PEP room at lunch time and after school. Carolyn, we congratulate you. J. L., we were beginning to think you were immune to girls!!! Teacher of the Month: This month starts a new year, and with it comes our exams—as v« all know by now!!! Naturally the teachers as well as the students are not as congenial as they would be if conditions were normal. So we’ve watched the teachers. And the one we thought still showed thouhgtfulness toward us in our hours of trial was Miss Matthews. Her ready wit and good humor have made her popular with the L. H. S. stu dents and faculty. We only wish we had more like you. Miss Matthews. Have you all seen Barbara Ritchie and her “Mr. Troutman”! He comes to her church and lately they’ve been dating pretty regularly. Oh, it must be nice. Joan Kearns and “Corky” King are one of the cutest couples we’ve seen lately. You both surely know how to pick them!! Say, we heard Betty Lou Whitt had some kind of time New Year’s Eve!! Zatso, Betty Lou??? We’ve heard “Buzzard” Crow had a crush on a certain little girl. Come on now, Marvin; why don’t you break down and ask her for a date? After all, it’s not leap year now!!! We saw Mary Helen Morgan at church the other night with Kenneth McCrary. Why, Kenneth, you’ve been holding out on us. Couples seen constantly together—Mary Nell and Ang, Barbara and Hal, Cooter and Joanie, “Tubba” and Joanne, Mac and Amelia, Bobby and Janet, and Mike and Bill. And did you all hear about that nice party Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie gave Barbara on her birthday? All the cute couples were there and all dressed up in their Sunday best. From what we hear it was quite an affair!!!! Thornton Brooks, that cute lil’ ol’ boy from South Carolina, who’s in the 8th grade, and Becky Strange seem to have up a case!! We hear Nancy Streetman has up quite a case with Holbart Yarborough —now ain’t that nice! And now the time has come to stop our juicy little column. So long— all you cute folks. Come next month!!!! E. H. HOOPER, Sr. Agent for all leading magazines. Renewals and subscriptions appreciated. Beautiful Line of Every Day Greeting Cards. P.^ O. Boxl27 Phone 2640 Time Was —Mary Nell Lopp 1 YEAR AGO From what we hear Salisbury is an all right town. What about it. Price?? Here’s one of those triangles again. Curtis Morrow likes Janice Johnson, but she likes Jerry Perkins, and vice versa!!! 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.” Mike 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 Car olina !! You’ve seen that cute Janet Brown. Weli, she’s no vegetarian, because she really goes for “Meatball” Shytle!! It has been rumored that Thomas Trodgen is stuck on Peggy Edwards! Peggy McCulloch was really rating at Mooresville with some sharp look ing black-headed boy!!!??? 2 YEARS AGO A new case we’d like to mention is “Squirrel” and Enid. They really have been seeing a lot of each other and we think that’s swell. Martha and Jimmy are really hit ting it off, and talk about jitterbugs, they are plenty good together. Well! Well! Marlene is crazy about “Hardrock,” who is crazy about Bar bara, who feels the same about Hu bert! Evelyn McDade’s heart is in High Point with Don Kepley, who is a student at High Point College. You keep on being true, Evelyn, ’cause it pays off sooner or later! (Editor’s note: It sure did pay off, for they are married now and there is an addition to the family.) Well!! at last! Becky has finally hooked her man, at least half-way— Pete, quit stalling! 3 YEARS AGO I think Betty Rose and Rodney Clark are one of the 9th Grade’s cutest couples. Don’t you? (Editor’s note: Rodney got married January 15 to Anna Hedrick.) To save a little space and time, I wanta tell you a few of the latest couples I’ve heard about! Carolyn Swing and Robert Meserve, Blake Phillips and June Mims, Nancy Fos ter and Bobby Leonard, Carolyn Koonts and “Cootie” White, and Mar tha and Jimmy Dan. My goodness, what’s all this about Agnes Wilson liking Johnny Newell? Huh!!!??? Nancy Koonts is simply crazy about Jerry Witherspoon. 'They cfertainly do make a cute couple. Bill Cook almost got into trouble the other day when he drove under a red light, but he finally explained to the officer that Pat was color blind. Compliments of NEW HOTEL LEXINGTON PHONE 2737
