Page 4 THE LEXHIPEP December 16, 1949 Clubiicity The Dramatics Club on Wednesday afternoon, October 19, enjoyed a wei- ner roast in the backyard of the Evans farm, better known as “The Old Place.” After everyone finished eat ing, a delightful program of songs and skits was presented in the living room. Robert Mims acted as master of ceremonies, along with the follow ing participating: Marion Rowe, Jo Deane Swing, Robert Mims, Bobby Lee Parr, Robert Sutton, Web Leonard, and Mary Alice Wilson. After the pro gram everyone joined in a community sing. On Tuesday night, November 8, the new officers of the Future Homema kers of America were installed in a candlelight ceremony held in the Home Economics Room. It was decided to hold the annual Christmas party at Jerrel Sutton’s home, and everyone is to bring gifts. After the business was finished, the members went to the auditorium and sang several songs, led by Evelyn Leonard. Refreshments were served, after which the meeting was adjourned. t f. IV —Harriet Leonard ays?' ’Twas a month before Christmas In the LEXHIPEP room. We were all chatting softly When in with a "boom” Came ye LEXHIPEP editor, Yelling, “Let’s go! We must stop loafing And start work, you know.” So we thought and we planned All the things w« must do To have a grand Christmas Edition for you. We covered news stories. Got items and ads. Wrote columns and stories For you lassies and lads. We talked with old Santa Of what should be done To assure you contentment And holiday fun. After working and slaving For days and for weeks, Our eyes are all bloodshot; Our knees have the creaks. We can hardly stand up, But still we can smile To see that our working Was so well worth the while. ’This is our annual Christmas game section. It’s all about high school activities so I knew you’ll rate A4-. We’ve started you off with the first letter of each word. Now all you have to do is finish each word with the number of letters indicated. Ready, set, go! M (trig teacher) E (subject taught by Mrs. Hedrick) R (most versatile senior boy) R (wittiest senior girl) Y * (whom we wish Merry Christmas) C (our beloved sociology teacher) jj (what everyone’s looking forward to) R (most talented senior boy) I (nre) S (madhouse between 2nd and 3rd periods) T (our friendly (?) enemy) (our Coach) leach Thursday mom at 9:20) g (Lexicon sponsor) " • AND R (our Shrine Bowl whiz) ^ (president of the Senior Class) p (senior girl with best personality) p (L.H.S. queen of Christmas parade) Y (Christmas season) R (la maitresse de francais) E (LEXHIPEP business manager) (kind of Christmas we’re dreaming of) Y (our football team) E (most dependable senior girl) (what goes on top of the Christmas tree) R (Beta Club president) There was great excitement a few weeks ago when the Seniors chose their superlatives But many outstanding Seniors were left out, and I think it was bcause'there weren’t enough superlatives to go around. How about having the “best half-way around” for the ones who can’t make it all around? “Best-developed muscles” is another good one. The ™ne who makes the most excuses” is sure to cause some competition, as is the “biggest copier.” . , . . The “most talkative” and “loudest giggler” are for those who are talented in that field. The “biggest eater” would be madly contested. It would be difficult to say who is “the sleepiest,” especially 6th period, but the “one who sleeps the longest” is a cinch. Just ask any teacher who is the “biggest interrupter” or the “loudest chewing gum popper.” These folks are just about as popular as the “most restless.” The people who feel confined when forced to stay in just one room for an hour can fight over the title of “the one who cuts classes thfc most and gets away with it."

WISHES ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS PHONE 517 East First Avenue ALUMNI —Peggy Costner This was a big Thanksgiving—a fine turkey dinner on ’Thanksgiving, the spectacular Dairy Bowl game Friday, and on Saturday night “Teeny” Red- wine’s birthday dance, which was a night of fun and enjoyment. But to top everything off, and to make the week end twice as much fun, many of our unforgettable alumni were home. We were mighty glad to have you! While shivering and shaking around Friday night at the ball game, I bumped into Mary Ann Hartzog from St. Mary’s and Jane Gordon Shoaf from Salem. Before I could get a word in edgewise, they began telling me how much they miss L.H.S.’s great football games and especially L.H.S. Both think college life is wonderful, but high school life can’t be beat. As I left Jane and Mary Ann, I • heard some mighty familiar voicecs. Who else could it be but Tommy Young, Jim Plott, Jim Dillon, Ronnie Gordon, “Tubba” Graver, T. D. Stokes, all of Carolina; and Jane Strelitz, Jean Rol lins, Olivia Coggins, and Joanne Koonts from W.C., all yelling their heads off for their Alma Mater. It’s been said Lexington High’s spirit nev er dies, and I certainly believe it! A streak of lightning dashes by—no, hold everthing—it’s only J. T. McBride, Charles Price, and Pete Clark run ning up and down the sidelines, watch ing the home team fight to the bitter end. Each of these played some fine football in L.H.S., and they are con tinuing the good work in college. A big formal dance would not be complete without our alumni. All dolled up in, pretty evening dresses and tucks and ties, we spot John Mc Crary, Carolina; Nancy Hunt, Duke; Hubert Olive, Carolina; |and Becky Smith, Duke, passing through the re ceiving line. What is this attraction on the dance floor? Oh, it’s Betty Ann Wall, Converse; Bill Hedrick, Caro lina; Zacky Taylor, University of S.C.; J. L. Peeler, Charles Williams, Wake Forest; and Mary Ann Hunt, W. C. Hedrick is creating quite a sensation —must be telling one of his fabulous tales! By the way. Bill’s running for treasurer of the Junior Class at Caro lina. Luck to you. Bill! Next, we are attracted by several dancing couples twirling about; Charles Rothrock, looking quite digni fied in his V.P.I. dress coat, and danc ing with Barbara Ritchie, Lenoir Rhyne. ’There’s Bob Peeler, who we haven’t seen in a long time. We hear the cute li’l blonde he’s dancing with occupies most of his time. She’s from Catawba also. What is that that just whizzed by? Or might I say who? Nevertheless, we discover it’s “Urn” Lancaster from Wake Forest dancing with Juanita Smith from W. C. It surely do>es seem natural to see “Urn” twirling around, occupying half the dance floor. In fact, it seems nice to have everyone of our alumni home livening up things a bit. Well, kids. Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is just around the corner. Ole Santa will soon be on his way! We hope he’ll be good to us and bring his sleigh packed full of Alumni home to join us in all the Christmas fun. 1 Year Ago Betty Jean Shoaf and Grady Ben- field are quite a steady couple. Of course, we know you’ve seen them to gether a lot since they both work at the show. “Question of the month”—just why is it that Jean Rollins likes to ride down by the Lexington Chair Com pany? Could it be that somebody spe cial lives down in this neighborhood? Caroline Swing (that darling straw berry-blonde) and Joe Honeycutt real ly surprised us!! But they’re just as cute as can be—more power to youse two!!! We know you all have noticed that good-looking Avril Sink. But, boys, at the present her interest is at Reeds, L.H.S. Swims to 20-0 Victory in Dairy Bowl.
