LEXINGTON DRUG COMPANY LEXINGTON’S PRESCRIPTION DRUG STORE DICK’S DRY CLEANERS LEXINGTON’S BEST Phone 444 37 East First Avenue COMPLIMENTS OF BARBET MILLS —By Spic and Span, the Sani-Flush ’Twins NOW IT CAN BE TOLD!!!! Yes, now the real story of what really goes on around this school can and will be told. You see, the underground movement of L. H. S.—sponsored, headed, and composed of the Sani-Plush Twins—has been working all year preparing and finding the facts which will follow immediately. Please understand that this column has been on the level all year, but we decided that in this issue you of the student body should have the real dirt and low-down on what goes on behind the scenes. (P. S, Don’t let this get out—graveyard talk, you know!!) There goes the 8:35 bell!!! As we hit our homeroom door, we were thrown out of bounds by J. L. Peeler and “Tubba” Craver, who were rushing to get their favorite seats by Jean Rollins and Mary Dowtin respectively These four are gettmg to be a regular foursome around school now. We think it’s just wonderful to see them soi devoted! We decided we’d get out of Bible and go peeking around to see if any of our underground Icves which we had uncovered were blossoming. After giving Miss Poyner the usual excuse, we started our little tour. Ah, listen to those golden voices of our Glee Club. As we slipped quietly into the auditorium, we saw Kenneth McCrary and Mary Jane Shirley com paring notes about the movie they had seen the night before with Louise ifouncz and Don Leonard. We hated to leave this touching scene, but Mr, Wike’s sudden appearance from out of nowhere made us remember that we had other places to go. We quickly raced out of the auditorium and down the hall. Our next visit was to the typing class. As we gazed in we saw “Cooter' White, Patsy Nance and Betty Jean Saunders talking to each other—another eternal triangle!!! We noticed it was only about five minutes until the bell rang, and we hurried back to Bible class. As we sat down. Miss Poyner was finishing up the temptations of man, and Hal Crotts was looking lovingly at Evelyn Ful- bright. Jack Hankins also spent these last five minutes conversing with his latest heart throb, Mary Jo Dorsett!!! The store is the crowded haven for all the weary students between 2nd and 3rd period. “Mike” Siceloff and “Nathe” Thomason were sitting in the window drinking “cokes” and commenting on that cute couple, Barbara DeLapp and Bill Eanes. After this “pause that refreshes” we travel on down the hall to chemistry. While Miss Matthews was trying to make us see what property of graphite accounts for its use as an ingredient of the paste within a dry cell, we saw Ross Ritchie and Colleen Story giggling and making eyes at each other. No sooner had we noticed them than we also saw Roberta Baflord and Robert Mims staring intently into each others’ eyes. Hmmm—and I wonder why all of us make such good(?) grades!!! As all of the girls fall swooning into their seats in English IV—including us—Lee Spears starts our “Macbeth” reading. Lee took over the Senior Eng lish Department for a two weeks' period of practice teaching under Mr. Hedrick. All during English Nancy Koonts and Peggy Everhart sat talking and gushing over their dates the night before—none other than Fran Swice- good and Levi Robertson. Had you all heard?!! There goes the bell. As the stampede for coats in the LEXHIPEP room starts, we s-ee T. Adrian Neal trip manfully over one of the chairs, and he curns to give Jane Strelitz one of those last, lingering glances before leaving for lunch!!! It’s a mad rush as Juanita Smith breaks her neck to meet Bob Kepley in the hall. By the way, they really have up quite a case!!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!! We poor students hardly have any lunch time. (Awful, ain’t it??) Walking slowly back to school and dreading the forthcoming drudgeries, we happen to see “Shorty” Stafford waiting out in front of the Lutheran parsonage for Barbara Ritchie, who incidentally is his best girl at present! Billy Massey practically knocked us down as he rushed to the office to see his “girl of the hour,” Carol Biesecker. Billy, we never thought you’d settle down to one girl. My ,how the time goes by!! Almost time for the 5t5h period bell. Harriet Leonard and Jimmy Dan Redwine were called down in LEXHIPEP for holding hands. Oh, for shame!!! Martha Hooper and Peggy Costner were talking enthusiastically about Buddy Poster and Curtis Leonard, Jr., while Carolyn Koonts was lamenting over her current “fling,” Bobby Lee Parr. As we stand in the doorway waiting for the bell to ring. Coach Bowen and Miss Pugh comes walking down the hall. Seems that Coach is taking George’s” place of lately!!! As soon as the bell rings, Joanne Koonts rushes madly off to Mr. Wike’s sociology class to get her front seat so she could gaze at her new idol—none other than Mr. C. E. Wike. While we’re here we see the Casanova, “Whitey” Everhart, come strolling in the door with his lady love, Emma Lee Sink. This must really be getting serious. Why, we hear that Mr. Wike was even kind enough to arrange it so they could sit close together. How sweet!!! Passing by Business Arithmetic, we see Tom Sheets flirting with Betty Anne Everhart!!! We hadn’t realized how fast the 6th period went by, and before we knew it the bell had rung for the end of school! Teacher of the month: After peeking and watching, we finally decided that Miss Colleen Story and Mr. Jim Plott deserve the title teacher of the month. However, this month we’ll have to change it to co-teacher of the month. These two, in the absence of Mrs. Erwin and Mrs. Berry, gave gal lantly of their time and efforts for the betterment of humanity. We of the tsudent body salute you!!! We hate to leave you, but the Soda Shop calls!!! SANI and PLUSH P. S. The writers of this column will hereafter omit their names from this column due to complaints, comments, and slander from the peanut gal lery!!! So there—!!! —Mary Nell Lopp Jean Rollins is sure spending a lot of her time in New York since a cer tain boy from Lexington has joined the pitching staff of the New York Giants. Hope he has a good season, Jean. Juanita Smith has changed her mind ’about going to W. C. and is now. going to Mars Hill College. Couldn’t be that a certain boy with ihe initials of B. E. changed her mind, could it? Agnes is going to Mercy Hospital m Charlotte but she still keeps in Close touch with Don. They said she lives for the week ends when he goes uown to see her. Olivia is not a sad little girl either. “Whitey” spends most of his week ends at W. C. to help keep “Lish” company. Now the impossible has happened. We hear that Barbara DeLapp is be- irothea to Thomas Dewey’s son. Bar bara has been away at school in New York. Hal is doing O.K. for himself coo. He has a good-looking blonde at Carolina. We just got the news that Colleen Story and Gilbert Yarbrough ran off to York, S. C., and got married; Why, we thought that you two had broken up for good! Carolyn and J. L. certainly sur prised us. Carolyn’s wearing J. L’s fraternity pin. I wonder when the big event is going to happen. Barbara Ritchie has finally settled down to one boy. Rabb certainly is lucky to get such a cute girl. By the way, look at Barbara’s left hand, third finger. More power to you, Barbara. Peggy Costner certainly surprised us all. She is pinned to Hubert Olive, who has been her secret lover for the past three years. Marvin Crow is now keeping very close to Jo Anne Blackwelder. Couldn’t be that those two are getting serious, could it?' We were really happy to read in The Dispatch about Miss Edna Earle Poyner’s marriage to Mr. Roger Brooks, Jr. (That’s Mr. Brooks’ son!) However, they’re going to stay in Lex ington so L.H.S. wUl still have the best Bible teacher in the State.
