Page 4 THE LEXHIPEP February 25, 1949 Club idtq By Elizabeth Clodfelter In Richmond, Virginia, there is a huge building which houses thousands annually. It is a veterans’ hospital. Within its walls are men who will never walk again or never again see the loveliness of God’s world. Others lie in bed all day with nothing to do. It isn’t that there are no books at all, but that there are not enough to go around. The need for recreation in the hos pital is great. They need books, mag azines, crossword puzzles, jig-saw puz zles, and records. It doesn’t mean the articles have to be new or be the best money can buy. The pocketbook edition of books are the best books because they can be handled easier. They cost only 25c. Place that next to the debt we owe those boys and it doesn’t seem like much of anything, does it? It wouldn’t take much to collect some articles for the hospital if the task wouid only be undertaken by someone. This would be a wonderful project for some club or it could even be the inspiration for a “Do it for Veterans’’ club. What is your opinion of it, L.H.S.? Do you think it would be a nice thing to do or should we let them go on thinking we have forgotten them and what they did for us? February Foolishness DRAMATICS CLUB MEETS The Dramatics Club met on Febru ary 11, 1949. As usual the members were ready to present an interesting program. A radio skit from “Little Women” was given, to the delight of everyone. A worthy project, presentation of a make-up kit to the school, is under consideration. The Dramatics Club members are planning to present “Miss Sidney Carton” to raise money for club use. The school always looks forward to the Dramatics’ presentations for they are consistentiy good. F.HIA. HOLDS MEETING The monthly night meeting of the PJI.A. was held on February 8, 1949, in the Home Economics Department. The program was made up of a dis cussion of the meaning of the F.H.A. emblem, name, motto, and flower. After the program delicious refresh ments were served to the members present and the sponsor, Mrs. The odore Leonard. TRI-HI-Y HOLDS MEETINGS On January 25 the Trl-Hi-Y held its annual “truth” meeting in the LEXHIPEP room. A “truth” meeting means that the members write on a slip of paper what they think of each other member in the club. Then the opinions are read out loud. It was a gala affair with the mem bers laughing and blushing a little at one another’s criticisms. Refreshments were served and then the meeting was adjourned with everyone going home thinking of the ways in which she could improve herself. Another meeting was held on Feb ruary 8 at the home of Joanne Koonts with Martha Hooper and Jane Strelitz hostesses. Plans for a dance were discussed. After delicious re freshments were served the meeting Was adjourned. —By Harriet Leonard I’m just as mad as I can be, ’Cause someone played a trick on me. On Valentine morn I gaily rose. And after getting into my clothes. To the mail box I quickly ran; It was then my trouble began. One Valentine I spied for me. But that one was enough, you’ll see. No sweet verse, no lovely prose. No frilly lace, no “buttons or bows.” Nothing for me but nasty ole rhyme; If the author were here, I’d commit a crime. I’d show ’im who is a silly ole pig. Who wears false eyelashes and a wig. Who has knock knees and pigeon toes, A stupid grin and a long sharp nose. I’ve organized a search to find The sender of that Valentine. And when he’s found. I’ll fix him so. He will be feeling mighty low. NOMS DE PLUME I During a consultation with Noah Webster, we decided that some of you might be getting tired of your names.

Avoid cherry trees, do not tell stories and split plenty of rails if you plan to be president. And remem ber, Valentine, that My love for you will never fail As long as my dog wags his tail. And even if he once should stop. My love for you will never flop. DUNBAR GLEE CLUB AND DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENT PROGRAMS Under the capable direction of Mrs. Madene Williams, the Dunbar Glee Club presented an enjoyable musical program in January. The group sang selections adapted to different moods. Edna Koonts gave a brief, interesting sketch of each number rendered. Out standing soloists for the program were Lillie Webb, Charles Glenn and Ber nice Cobb. Among the songs presented were: “Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs,” “I Dream of You,” “Shall It Be Clara, Olive, Doris—or—“Well, Just Listen,” “Ezekiel Saw the Wheel,” “Mah Lindy Lou,” “Didn’t My Lord Deliver Dan iel?” and “Ain-a-That Good News?” It was a fine program that will be remembered by L. H. S. for many days to come. Each year the Dunbar Dramatics Club sends a group to students to en tertain the L.H.S. student body. This year, on February 17, the group pre sented a true-to-life one-act play, “Never ’Trust a Man.” Starring in the superb presentation were Janie Nor man, Emma L. Jones, Hazeline Wil son, Margaret Hariston, Alberta Bar ker, and Louise Gordon. The L.H.S. students and faculty wish to thank the club for their fine entertainment, and wish to continue these friendly relations between the schools. COMPLIMENTS OF CAROLINA SODA SHOP THE JOHN K, HANKINS STORE, Inc. Shoes, Dry Goods and Ready-to-Wear ALUMNI Undoubtedly it seems as if the Lex- hipep Register were isolated this month. When we turned to the cur rent date, empty pages greeted us, and so as a substitute we turn the pages of the Register back a couple of years to the alumni who first signed the Register. One of the first alumni to sign in 1943 was Parks Easter, who was a L. H. S. gradu ate in ’42; Patti Siceloff, 1943, who, after graduation became a model in Washington and she is now mar ried; “Nig” Lambeth, who graduated in the class of ’42, has become a noted football playjer; Harold W. Pickett, who wals always found parking in teachers’ rooms after school, is now a prominent policeman who fines teachers for parking. And who doesn’t know Joe “Scoop” McCrary, who graduated in ’37 and now as sports editor of the Dispatch, builds up our Lexington Hi pride and joy, our own football team? It seems as if Betty McCrary couldn’t bear the thought of leaving us, so you can now find her, day in and day out, beating her brains out trying to beat some thing into all the heads of the little eighth graders. One of our former co-captains of the football team is Walter Foyle Brinkley, who graduated in ’43. He finished at Carolina this year and will practice law here in Lexington. It is fine for these folks to “come back home.” These are just a few of the many signatures that crowd the pages of the Register, but lack of space and time will not permit more. New Project Introduced THE LEXHIPEP voted at the last staff meeting to purchase an ade quate scrapbook to be used to keep a record of clippings and pictures of outstanding students and school events. This book should be greatly prized by L. H. S. students and alumni as well as of interest to people at large. For the remainder of the -chool year, the literary editor, Ro berta Bafford, will be custodian of the book which will be left in the LEXHIPEP room.
