THE LEXHIPEP
February 2, 1951
Riiig-a-ling: “May I please speak to Joanie- Hi, Joan; what’cha doin’?”
“Nothing much, Bets; I’m just sitting around waiting for ‘Cootie’ to come
over. You know, I’ve been thinking about everyone that we’ve gone through
high school with and hoping that I won’t forget all my friends and all the
fun we’ve all had together.” , .
“Gosh, Joanie, I know it. What say that we just make a list or an out
line of all the folks we know and put them in different groups—those that go
steady or that are engaged, or even married? This way we can save it always,
and when we are old and g;ay we can check our list and remember the good
old days.” '
“You know something, I’ve already started one. You make one, too, and
we can compare them in 'Trig. I’m sure that Miss Janie won’t mind.
“That’s a fine idea, Joan; I’ll see you then. Bye now!”
Well, faithful gossip column readers, here’s, our list.. Can you add any

LONG, LONG TIME, but I GUESS I

saying THREE LITTLE WORDS.
MY HEART CRIES FOR YOU be

YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME,
so please DREAM A LITTLE DREAM
OP ME.
MY DESTINY is MORE THAN I
CARE TO REMEMBER because I’m
THE ROVING KIND, but WHY
FIGHT THE FEELING, IP YOU LOVE

IF" YOU’VE GOT ’THE MONEY,
I’VE GOT THE TIME to go dancing
to the TENNESSEE WALTZ close to
the HARBOR LIGHTS.
I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO DREAM
THE REST IF ANYBODY DOES, be
cause I’M SO CRAZY FOR LOVE

CHOSEN ME, HIGH ON THE LIST,
but I’LL GET BY, AND YOU’LL BE
HOME so TILL ’THEN,
SO. LONG, SALLY.

A Backward Glance
—Kirksey Sink
Highlighted this month in the
Alumni Column are five former Lex
icon High School students who have
highly distinguished themselves in
their college activities.
The class of 1949 produced three
outstanding students, those being
Mary McLendon, Paul Williams, and
Robert Peeler.
Mary “Mac” is cited for her scholas
tic record which has been of the
highest since her entrance in Wom
an’s College. She is completing her
master’s degree at Carolina, where
she is majoring in journalism. Re
cently she was chosen to become a
member of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary
scholastic fraternity.
Last year, Paul Williams was starred
in this column for his scholastic
achievements and campus popularity
at Wake Forest. He is completing his
senior year and is studying pre-med
ical courses. “Tinker” was elected to
Phi Beta Kappa during his junior
year, and he has been given the op
portunity to enroll in any of three
med schools. Bowman Gray, Harvard,
and University of Pennsylvania, the
last one probably being his choice.
Important on the Catawba campus
is Bob Peeler, who (vas elected pres
ident of the student body. He has
been outstanding during his high
school and college careers, for he was
one of the most popular people at
L. H. S. Bob is also a pre-medical
student.
Anytime you wander into the LEX
HIPEP room you’ll see a number of
exchange papers strung on the wall.
Prominent among these is the Ca
tawba paper, “The Pioneer”. Upon
reading this you will find many arti
cles written by Harriet Leonard,
freshman, who has been chosen as a
reporter on the staff. Harriet is well-
remembered for her fine feature arti
cles enjoyed by LEXHIPEP readers
last year.
Not only L. H. S. but also the
many Duke supporters around here
are proud of our last highlighter, Jim
my Dan Redwine. Graduating last
year, Jimmy Dan was one of the
most versatile people in his class. He
was Sports Editor on the LEXHIPEP,
played center on the football team,
besides engaging in many other activ
ities. At Duke Jimmy Dan has made
the highest grades of any freshman
athlete.
L. H. S. is indeed proud of you five.
You have done much to bring honor
upon yourselves, your parents, and
your high school. We wish you the
best of luck, though you don’t seem to
need it, and remember. Alumni, the
eyes of your Alma Mater are upon you
and proud of you.
Roxanne Disher, the wittiest girl in
last year’s Senior Class, was recently
voted president of the student body
of Ashmore Business College. Congrat
ulations, gal; we’re proud of you!
be none other than our original staff
members, Lois Ann Marley and Bar
bara McCoy.)
You can tell a freshman by the way
he acts.
You can tell a sophomore by the jokes
he cracks.
You can tell a junior by his looks
and such.
You can tell a senior, but you can’t
tell him much.
