Page 4 THE L E X H I P EP March 20, 1961 Genne Gets Around It seems like only yesterday when I wrote my first column. Now I’m writing my last. I can’t help but remember some of the things I’ve written about in the past issues. And I can’t help remembering some of the things I read when I was a freshman and sophomore. This article is dedicated to the upperclassmen. 1957-1958 The party of the year was either Sister’s Open House or Martha Ellen’s Clypso. At Sister’s party, Jane Burell was thrown in the swimming pool fully dressed. (Remember??) Judy Davis was deciding between Craig Redwine and Heath Belk. At the fair thst year Rita was with Smitty. (Can you imagine?) The Demolay dance that year was full of surprises. Dicky Clifford dated Gail Parks, Jane Burrell went with Bobo, and Bill Godfrey dated Rita that night. These were the surprises: Little bitty Gail went steady with great big Bobby Lee. Belinda went with Craig Redwine. (Judy Davis went with Heath!) This may sound impossible but Hun Philpott dated Dan Smith. Donnie Leonard and Louis Bowles were “pickups.” Dating at the State Fair were Mary Miller and Steve Sechrist, and Butchie Harris and Johann. At College Day that year Sister kept talking to the representative from Campbell. Remember when Johnny Williams dated Anne Miller? (I didn’t. It took a lot of checking to find this.) Other romances were: Mary Davis Tommy Owens Perry Grimes -- - Johnny Fritts Winks McCurdy Junior Webster Mary Miller Dick Gallimcre Kaye Powell Buddy Yarbrough Some of the above seem impossible, but it was true at the time. 1959-1960 Don Hedrick and Julie Sm.ith were going steady. Frankie Bunting and Lamar went together for a while but they broke up and Lamar started dating Winnie. There was a RAT in Dewy’s basement! Carol Sue and Tommy, Judy and Dick started dating. Dan and Sister started going steady. They had been to see “Her cules” at the Drive-In. And can we ever forget Rita and Sandy? All they ever did was break up and then make-up. I never could keep up with them. Let’s never forget Rody and how he used to talk about Shelby— or/and the girl in Shelby. And remember the night Phil played host at the Tennis Court (Country Club). That was a great party. And of course Phil’s car was the ‘center of attraction.” Barry Williams went with Sandra Craver, and Ann Rodgers went with Chip Harris. (But of course this is in the past and he and Ann are in the present and future.) Judy Bean do you remember when you were keeping your eye on Leonard Davis'!* And Carol, all that “fan mail” you got! So well do I remember Carl Gray walking Linda Berrier to her locker every day. There was a raid on the Purple Pad! 1960-1961 Now we are back to the present. These four years have been great ones to the Seniors, but this year is of course the best. I just wonder who will end up wnh whom. Or if any of us will stick together at all. I think that a few of the steady couples will stay together. I wonder how right I’ll be. Well to 1960-1961 we give the credit of a year of excitement. 1 think most excitemient we’ve had lately has been winning cur Iasi basketball game and the Senior Play. I think every student and teacher that was at that last game was proud of our boys and of our school spirit. I think that I’m speaking for every sudent when I say thanks to Coach Callicutt and to the boys, and cheerleaders. After the play, Vic had a party. Althugh everybody was tired and nobody knew what he was doing, we had a blast. The people there were: Jane (Melinda) and Dino (Phil) Carol and Donnie Betty McMillian and Wes (Vic) Mary Lou and Don Hedrick Alicia (Kaye P.) and Gary Hedrick Bimsie (Gail) and Harry (Johnny) Monika and Stanley (Jerry Lopp) Ann and Alkeli (Barry) Jackie Myers and Ken (Louis) Lynn and Bobo Liz (Louise Freeman) and Libby Linville, Miss Matthews, Mrs. Hedrick, and others were there. I think we all had fun. Well, that’s it! I’ve enjoyed remembering, hope you have. See you around, Genne PiCTa^ED ABoVb: \. Diccnne. VLoonHs 5,3-- or U0€.b.s W_r 3^0 nnonu Q\aj::_k ; .
