May 26, 1950 THE LEXHIPEP Page 13 REPORTS FROM JUNIOR - SENIOR It Ain’t So!!!!! By Teeny Redwine I’m looking through the windows, Peeping in the door; I see th'3 Juniors and Seniors Having .fun galore! Imagine yourself in a roomful of farm implements and animals, and you can picture our banquet room for the Junior-Senior banquet. You see, our guest speaker was none other than His Honor, Governor Kerr Scott, so we Juniors thought this would be a very appropriate theme. After the Governor’s inspiring speech, “Cooter” and Joanie were so overcome that they immediately left the banquet and returned later in brogans, plaid skirts and overalls! Victor Krrkman was really thrilled when “Ang presented him with the “Never Give Up” medal, followed by a “You Sucker” kiss from Joan Kearns. It’s neally a shame about Lois Ann Marley. I’m sure that Bobby Koonts didn’t mean to trip her, when he pulled her chair out just before she went up to “toast”. I can see “Peg” laughing about something. Now I know what. Jim has just drawn a very flatteringt?) picture of His Honor on the table cloth. The Senior Class presented the bride and groom, Arlene and Jimmy, with a gift of ash trays. I guess they figured they’d be doing a lot of smok ing, or maybe their guests will!!! I just happened to overhear Harriet and Bobby Lee discussing Einstein’s 'Theory of Relativity, while Sid and Ross listen without any comment. Millie seems to be in trouble. I believe Janet saw him pinch the waitress. Poor Don Purdise! He just tried to get his knees under the table and up set the whole shebang! I don’t believe Susie 'Thompson likes that spot on her new dress. I guess Betsy Stoner will have to find new shelter. Her father was plenty mad when she pronounced the Governor’s name unforgivably wrong! Don Leonard was almost expelled from school for putting a rubber snake Under Mrs. Lewis’ napkin. She fainted! ' Everyone felt really sorry for Caro lyn Koonts, when “Salisbury” stepped on her “strapless” evening dress, which became “skirtless” for several mo ments. Her pantaloons proved that she is really an old-fashioned girl!! The highlight of the evening was a Samba by Mr. Leonard and Kitty Philpott. For an encore they did the “hucklebuck” to “Annie’s Cousin Fan nie”!!! Suzanne Myers was simply superb in her Dance of the Seven Veils, ac companied by Joan Kearns playing “Oh, Those Girls in France.” The dance had hardly started when some one accidentally!??) threw a lighted match and dimiinished four of the seven veils. Suzanne mysteriously dis appeared. Thank goodness!! “Shorty” Stafford, Carolyn Fritts, Bobby Shytle, and Rachel Fritts were somewhat surprised when they felt something moving under the table. 'They later found out that it was just Timberlake’s bird dog, who had fol lowed him to the banquet and couldn’t find his table, Don Hege and Blease Scott really amused everyone with their “black face” act, which they presented dur ing the desert. It seems that Mr. Andrews was in the middle of swal- Juniors Compliment Seniors —Mary Alice Wilson On May 5 the Lexington Country Club was the scene of a very pictur esque occasion as the juniors and se niors of Lexington High School held their traditional banquet and prom. Senior class colors of pale blue and silver were highlights in the color scheme. 'The white-covered tables were centered with blue tapers tied with silver ribbons. Silver garlands and clusters of blue balloons adorned the chandeliers. Each place setting was marked with a place card, napkin, and program in the class colors. Tho sijeaker’s table was centered with a silver bowl of snapdragons. Over the large mantel was a beautiful oil paint ing of Lexington High School by Jean Hall. Dr. Banks J. Peeler offered tire in vocation, after which Mr. Robert Bru ton sang ‘"The Lord’s Prayer.” The welcoming toast was given by the junior class president, Carlton Ever hart, and the toast to the seniors was given by tire vice president of the junior class, Burke Giles. The response was made by Ang Lindsay, president of the senior class, 'The mem bers of the school board were recog- nibed by the junior treasurer. Corky King, and the response was made by Mr. Smith Crow. The class sponsors, Mr. 'Theodore Leonard and Mrs. Fred B. Lewis, were recognized by Lois Ann Marley, junior secretary. Toast to the faculty by Janet Brown was answered by Mrs. Ottis Hedrick. Superintendent L. E, Andrews was recognized by “Teeny” Redwine, and he responded. The speaker for the evening. Gover nor Kerr Scott, was introduced by Betsy Stoner. In his speech Governor Scott related some amusing incidents of his earlier life. He stressed the need for a good education in this day of competition. Concluding the program, Mr. Bruton sang “When You Come to the End of a Perfect Day.” After the banquet everyone was in vited to attend the prom, featuring the music of Russ Carlton and his orchestra. A delicious three course meal, pre pared by mothers of the junior class under the direction of Mrs. C, J. Everhart, was served by waitresses se lected from the freshman and sopho more classes. Gifts were presented to the members of the senior class. 'Die girls received charm bracelets, and the boys received cuff links. Thus ended the 1950 Junior-Senior banquet and prom—an event long to be remembered by each of the four hundred who attended. lowing something when Blease cracked one of his jokes. Mr. Andrews had to be given artificial respiration by Joanne Blackwelder. 'This really doesn’t name Half that isn’t so. But I have to close ’Cause there ain’t no mo’! DICK’S DRY CLEANERS LEXINGTON’S BEST PHONE 444 37 East First ATcniie Mr. and Miss L. H. S. (Continued from Page Two) is dating her’favorite type or date (“Cartier,” of course!) A put-on brogue is Miss L, H. S.’s “pet peeve,” and her weakness is cheese tidbits, Martha loves to hear “It Only Happens When I Dance With You” (wot hoppens?) while day-dreaming about her ambition ,which is to hurry through college. (By the way. Rice is her future Alma Mater.) A senior year holds many memories, but the Junior-Senior is the high light of all. Martha will never forget riding to the beach after the dance in the “Toothpick Wagon” and trying vainly to sleep. 'The best thing about being a senior to Martha is part^ipating in the various activities and taking advantage of the honors afforded to seniors (those Grand Wizards!) LEXHIPEP has been especially enjoyable to Martha because she likes to be with everybody fifth period. Her most trying experience was putting out last year’s Christmas edition. JoAnne, who was editor then, was sick and the job fell into Martha’s capable hands. 'This year she’s had a time keeping us on the job, and she’s really worked hard to make this the LEXHIPEP’S best year yet. 'The other half of our Board of Directors is a smiling young gentleman with a song in his heart and who loves to dance and swim. Jack is the versatile young fellow who is destined to be a Broadway star, (Those who saw him work in the Follies can vouch for that!) It is rumored that Jack is considering a tour with Barry Lyndall, or at least he had an offer. His ambition ties in with his talents, for he hopes to make the most he can from what he has! This summer Jack will be busy with the job of having fun. (We have lots of industrious students—huh?). Next year Jack will be in Durham root ing for the Blue Devils. (Watch out for the Carolina fans in L.H.S., Jack!) New cars always prove to be Jack’s downfall, and his “pet peeve” is people who can't mind their own business. Jack likes to date a girl who is cute, friendly, not too tall and a good dancer (take this down,, girls!) Miss Burgess (7th grade Robbins) rates highest on Jack’s list of teachers, and he considers his highest honor in the past twelve years being awarded the Eagle Scout badge and one palm. The Junior-Senior holds many memories for Jack, too. He especially enjoyed dancing and the excursion to the rock-quarries in Salisbury proved to be very interesting. (What say, those of you who went??) Mr. Evans enjoys fifth period LEXHIPEP mainly because he spends it loafing. This issue has been Jack’s hardest for he’s had a job getting ads. He thinks that the best thing about being a Senior is the many activities and looking forward to college. Graduation is the highlight of Jack’s school care>er, in his opinion (Best thing that ever happened to him!) “Lucky ’ole Sun” and “Wandering” sound mighty good to Jack while he engages in his favorite pastime, which is dancing. We of the LEXHIPEP staff are very proud nf Martha and Jack, and we say, “Hats off!”, to two of the swellest people in L.H.S. Lots of luck and success, Martha and Jack, and we hope that we haven’t caused you too much worry. O. L. EVANS MOTOR CO. “We Can Fix Your Car Like New” Corner Main and West Second Sts.
