THE LEXHIPEP
December 16, 1949
Stoner *s
Snitchings
I walked up to the door and I shut
the stairs;
I said my shoes and pulled off my
prayers.
I cut off the bed and jumped in the
light,
All because you kissed me good-night!

She took me to the bedroom
And laid me on the bed,
“Just a wee bit tight,”
Was all her mother said.
And now I’m at the party.
Holding her still tight,
’Cause I’m the pretty formal
She tried on last night.

Christmas is just around the corner.
Has everybody been a good little boy
and girl? It won’t be long ’til Saint
Nick will make his appearance, you
know.

This year the .Dairy Bowl had the
smallest crowd it has ever had. ’The
cold weather kept the fans away from
both Lexington and Gray Hi. For all
of those that stayed away, it was a
thrilling game despite the fact that
everyone nearly froze to death.

Did you hear about our band being
in the movies? Moving pictures were
made of them in full uniform march
ing and playing. By the way, tonight
is their Christmas concert. Be sure
to attend.
# * * *
Did you ever see anything so beau
tiful? The intricate maneuvers which
the band presented at the Dairy Bowl
not only added to the interest of the
game but left the spectators with then-
mouths gaping. It was a fine per
formance, band members. Each of you
deserves hearty congratulations for a
fine piece of work, and especially the
director!

Ever try to debate on the subjects,
“Which is the butt end of a billy
goat?” “Why is the ocean so near the
shore?” or “Why does a fly leave
home?” It seems as if Mrs. Hedrick
who has been teaching a unit on ar
gumentation, is good on any one of
these subjects!!??!
Belvedere
—Jack Evans
’Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house.
Not a creature was stirring.
Not even a mouse. MOUSE???
Out from the corner—over the sheet
Came a short, stocky mouse—I’d like
you to meet.
Belvedere is his name, and he’s quite
a chap;
When you’re lying there sleeping, he’s
probably in your lap.
Twisting and turning and raising
much
And there you are dosing, thinking
all’s well.
When all of a sudden, right down
your back.
He feels like Santa with a well filled
pack.
Running around all under your arm.
Now don’t get excited, he’ll do you
no harm.
Call for father! . . . Call for mother!
There’s a mouse in my bed, under the
cover.
My face is getting white, my puise
beating fast,
I beat the cover. I’ll call my cat, alas.
Mother and father rush into the room;
It looked as if Casey had lowered the
boom!
They shook me and shook me, even
■slapped my face.
®ut there I lay, like a viictim of
“Arsenic and Old Lace,”
When finally they woke me.
With wet towels on my brow,
'The bed and I looked like Florida
After a hurricane, somehow!
When asked what happened
I told them in full.
That there’s a certain little mouse
Whose tail I’d like to give a pull.
With Thanksgiving and the dances, reunions!?), and parties past, we
sho have picked up lotsa gossip. This was one appreciated holiday, huh, kids?
We know two girls who sure did enjoy the Thanksgiving holidays. Eve
and Kirksey had a full week end at A.M.A. (Augusta Military Academy).
Who’s this “Poppy” we’ve been hearing so much about? Eve will surely be
looking forward to the Christmas holidays when he’s coming home with “Bud.”
What’s this we hear about Doster giving Betty Block a rush? Betty, you
had better take advantage of this; Doster is one fine guy!
Who are those cute boys from Greensboro we’ve been seeing around
the playhouse? We hear that Phyllis isn’t the only girl interested in these
Greensboro boys! ,
Anne Meachum seemed to be happier than usual over the holidays, ana
we can surely see why. Don Bishop doesn’t get home too often, but he
seem'ed to make the best of the holidays.
Even though we didn’t win the Dairy Bowl game, -everone had a tine
time—almost everyone, anyway.
There are more triangles around school than there are in the Geometry
book—Dillon, Mary Jane, and Jimmy Dan; Ross, Peggy, and Pete; and last
but not least, Mac, Amelia, and “Dimous.”
Oh, these new kuddling romances are the sweetest things, especially
when they look like Marie Stokes and Harry R., Betty Hunt and Bobby (3rubb.
Sue Everhart is one happy lil ole girl thes-e days, but who wouldn’t be?
Not every girl gets letters from at fellow as cute as Robert Canup at State.
I bet some people wished that all college boys got home as much as
those at Carolina, and that Carolina was in Lexington.
What’s this we hear about Flossy Abernathy being married? Congratu
lations; we hope you have a happy married life.
Did you notice the gl-eam in Henrietta’s eyes over the Thanksgiving holi
days? It sho is nice for those college boys to get home. Don t you agree,
Henrietta?
Joan Besley (or maybe you know her better as “Yankee”) sho is crazy
about Nookie. Come on, Nookie, let’s stop playing hard-to-get and give the
poor girl a break.
Delores Hutchins has been dating Bobo Carlton right often. Now isn’t
Bobo lucky?
Pat Streetman keeps the line busy calling Hayden Hooper almost every
night. That’s one way to do it, isn’t it, girls?
To make a long story short, here are all the new eighth grade couples:
Nancy Allen and Harold Beck, Rochelle Thomason and Jimmy Lee Bates,
Helen Thomason and Bill Lee, Nancy Ann Leonard and Lester Hill, and Ann
Goodrum and Tony Goss.
There surely have been a lot of parties around lately. (That sho do
make it nice.) The football team and cheerleaders enjoyed the banquet after '
the game. (The trophy may be found in the LEXHIPEP room, and all the
team has little silver footballs.) Betsy had open house before “Teeny’s”
dance, and we heard a lot of people ate breakfast out, and a crowd went out
to the Evans’ farm and to the lake. 'Then there were a lot of slumber parties
after everyone finally got back and the boys left.
Don’t believe we’ve ever seen so many pretty evening dresses or gbod
looking tucks as were floating around at the Country Club Saturday night.
We were glad to see Bobby and Janet back together and having such a
good time.
’The Club was packed with college folks, home for Thanksgiving. Some
of these were Bill Hedrick, Hubert Olive, Jim Dillon, T. D. Stokes, and Ronnie
Gordon from Carolina; J. L. and Jack Lancaster were home from Wake For
est, and looking mighty sharp. Duke was well represented by Nancy Hunt,
Becky Smith, Bill Blalock, and Bill Eanes and three very cute freshmen
whom he brought home. And last but not least was “Hardrock,” Charles
Williams, Charlie Price, Biil Cook, and “Jay-Bird.”
In case you’re wondering who that good looking coupie from out of town
was it was Nancy Powell Vauuhn (one of “Dimous”’ old gals) and Dickie
Ogb’ern from Winston; also looking very dreamy were Peggy and Ross, Sid
and Barbara, “Kitty” and Sam, “Hinge” and Charles, Nona and Jerry, Joanie
and “Cootie,” Martha and Carter, and last but not least. Teeny and Sonny.
We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas vacation, and that Santa
is good to you so that we’ll have a lot more gossip next time! We’ll see you
at “Kitty’s” dance, if we’re lucky!
Ho hum . . . Well, what’s a gossip column anyway?? Just a lot oi
names strung here and there, rumors and guesses that should never be
printed . . . But we write it and you read it!!!!
Talking of debates, you should have
seen “Salisbury” Harris hurrying
around third period study hall trying
to prepare his debate which he had to
give fourth period!!

Miss Weast certainly had a new and
different type assembly for “National
Book Week.” It seems as if everyone
present enjoyed it thoroughly.
* * t «
Prom all reports the Hi-Y boys and
their gals had a good time on their
hay ride. Since it was held at the
police cabin, you can imagine it was
well chaperoned.

Although the basketball game with
Erlanger was a good one, it doesn’t
quite compare with the[ Key Kage
Kontest. Beamer Barnes, you cer
tainly did heap praise upon yourself
after scoring all those points in that
praiseworthy style of yours! Congrat
ulations to all the men who played.
’The games were spectacular, to say the
least!!!
