ABOUT SCHOOL
THRU THE KEYHOLE
(By Snip & Snop)
Seems that Wilma A. has an affair
with a certain “Mock” from Reeds.
Clyde, you’re losing out!
What two girls did Clyde C. ask to
the P. banquet—but, in the end went
stag?
Why is “Bob White” a certain small
brunette’s favorite song?
What’s this I hear about the South
ern Gas Utility Co. avec Joe H. & Rob
C.—officials—T. Young had his finger
in the pie.
Wonder if “Gooney” Allen still likes
Buddy W.—????
We hope E. Osborne is satisfied—.
Mildred Williams seems to be
slightly jealous over I. Tate. Won
der why?
Marg. Broadway is getting sorta
foolish about C. B. W. He don’t know
it, tho.
All that’s been heard for two months
now—is the football banquet—^Well, its
over—^Wonder what next to interest
we idle children?
Seaford Crouse is really stuck on a
preacher’s daughter from High Point.
Wonder what Joan Sink has to say—
concerning this subject?
While we’re on the out-of-town ro
mances what about C. Miller and F.
Peeler & Salisbury. Nobody was smil
ing when Rob T.—played that dirty
trick on them Sunday nite, tho!
Charles Phelps and seemingly Ed
and Fred have gone nurts over the
cute trick from Charleston (Vicky by
name although Charles has the pic
ture. 'Whatta trip!
Seems that the Bill Brown’s and E,
H. Easter’s were chaperoned by a
private chauffeur at the Banquet—
What didn’t go on wasn’t worth men
^^oning. _
Bet Moffitt got the lucky break af
ter all—cuff’s choice, therefore, mis
tress at the banquqet.
Can’t prove it but I think Harvey
Lax has left Betsy for a certain little
Audrey (Simmerson). Anyway they
exchange hats!
New case—Skinny Corn and Jane
Moore. Really they do change around
something awful!
Just heard that Mary G. Burkhart
& Henry Styers are slowly coming to
the end of their long romance.
We think: that Mr. Tucker’s sar
casm was uncanny at the banquet—
when he made the crack about some
of the toasts—Far enough, Prere.
That’s be all for this time—See ya—
sonn tho!
UNFROSTED
PERSIMMONS
1. “Hold that line,” here comes
one of the most versatile girls on the
campus. Her petite form may be seen
wandering around almost any time.
Her favorite words, “gimme a bite,”
and her pleasant disposition have won
for her many friends. She is
Her pet pastime is borrowing.
2. “Aw shucks, teacher,” here comes
a boy known for his big mouth and
friendly attitude. ’When he isn’t rid
ing around in his wreck,” you’ll find
him loafing at Chester’s Eat-a-Bite or
working at the garage. His brilliant
portrayal as Huckleberry Finn has
made him a “star.” He is
3. “The ball is over and L. H. S.
wins.” Here’s a football player who
has this years played outstanding in
several games. His ear to ear grin
and his sunny disposition (along with
his football playing) have endeared
him to many, (ah, shall I say “ferns”)
and boys too. He’s none other than
L. H. S. DAY BY DAY
(By O. O. McMiller)
MISS HORRIBLE FIX
Dear Miss Horrible Fix:
I have been dating a certain boy for
about six months. We drifted apart
all at once just as two boats on the
ocean. I frankly admire this boy
very much, but he goes to see other
girls now. I think he cares for me
and I have hopes of winning him
back sometimes. What seems to
worry me is that one of these lovely
brunettes will pull the wool over his
eyes before I have a chance.
Yours truly,
JENNY LIND
Dear Jenny Lind:
I think you are wrong in trying to
hold this boy because now is the time
for boys and girls to have a good
time. They should not go with just
one girl. If he really cares for you
he will not give you up so easily in
the future. Have patience, my girl
and enjoy yourself.
Yours truly,
MISS FIX
Dear Miss Horrible Fix:
The boy friend has thrown me down.
I stood faithfully by him at every foot
ball game and when his leg got all
wrong it hurt me as much as it did
him. How—Oh how can I bring him
back? My heart is breaking!
Wailingly,
FAITH
4. “I can’t live without my Black
Draught and her chewing gum.” Here
she comes folks, a girl known every
where for her diffy-daffy manner and
her heart for a certain “Shoe” Carl
ton and also a special love for her
studies, she’s a grand girl to know.
Know her? She is
5. Ladies and gentlemen, here he
comes, followed by a string of soph
omore girls with Nancy Ward leading.
His teasing, flirtin gand donations of
gums have given him a place in the
hearts of many. He also likes Greens
boro for what reason I do not know.
And folks, you who do not know him
will be crazy to meet him. He is
6. “He’s here!” with a grin spread
across his face, a perfect gentleman
and a favorite. They call him “Hon
ey” because, well, he is a honey. Do
you remember what the Jeep said
about him in the election two years
ago. That still goes. He’s for L. H.
S. body and soul and he’s everybody’s
friend. He is
7. If you hear a deep contralto
voice behind you or see a blonde head
bent over a Latin book you’ll know
its She’s
full of pep and ready for fun but she
also takes her lessons seriously. She
adores knitted suits and loves to read
and talk and she’s one of the very
best members of the freshman class.

Girls, generally speaking, are—gen

“My poor uncle gets dizzy spells
from cigarettes.”
“Is that what inhaling them does
to him?”
“No, that’s what bending down and
picking them off the sidewalk does to
him.”
An absent-minded burglar went to
Hollywood to rob a bank and broke
into the movies.
“I’m to act in some shorts.”
“Well, listen here, young lady, you’d
better wear more than that.”
■When a fellow starts horsing
around you know he’s racing after
some girl.
“Now, then,” asked the lawyer,
“have you legal grounds for wanting
to annul your marriage?” The youth
stammered, “Yes, yes, sir. I was shot
out of season.”
“That fellow in the front row hasn’t
enough meat on his ribs.”
"Why, dearie! How do you know?”
“He’s my butcher.”
Dear Faith:
You are attractive I will admit and
you certainly got what it takes. You
know the shortest route to a man’s
heart is thru his stomach. Try this!
Buy him good things to eat.
For results,

Little highlights on the love in life

between Hog Jaw & Marguerite—but
if we add correctly it makes three—

Bill Brown (a good friend of Mrs.
Cuthrell) began his serious part of

SOCIETY
Some of the “boys about town” gave
a dance the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving. It was one of the best
and most enjoyable of the season.
Music was fm’nished by Ftrancis
Holmes’ orchestra. There was a great
number of out-of-town couples there.
The hosts were Pete Miller, Tom Cra-
ver, Coley Rhodes, Russell Revelle and
Cliff DeLapp.
The E. G. O. club gave one of their
well known parties last Friday evening

PERSONALS AND PERSONS
“Sissy” Hinkle spent the Thanks
giving holidays with our old friend
and classmate, Mary Kinney, of Bas
sett, Va. It seems “Sissy” had a grand
time.
“Easer” Hinkle spent the holidays
with Sara Pritchard of Charlotte.
Some fun.
Va. H. Brinkley spent the holidays
as the guest of Bettie Baxter of Char
lotte. Got her picture in the paper
too!
Martha Yonce, of Virginia, was Bet
ty W.’s guest over the holidays. She
took in the dance, etc.
Marguerite, Cam and Fanny spent
the major part of the day in Win
ston-Salem Monday—^Christmas shop
ping it seems.
The greater part of the Lexington
High alumni was back in the home
town for the holidays. They are too
numerous to name.
Joan, Odessa and Hubert represent
ed us at Boyden High, in Salisbury,
last Friday. They report an enjoy
able time.
The Hi-Y boys are back from
Charleston with moss on. They say
they painted the town pink. Now why
not red? Thought that was custo
mary. What have you to say for
yourselves?
The many friends of Charles Elkin
will be pleased to note that he is out
of the hospital and feeling fine.
Confucius said: “’Tis better to have
halitosis than no breath at all.”
Then there was the deaf and dmnb
man who had a nightmare and broke
all his knuckles on the bedpost
screaming.
Mountain Guide: “Be careful not to
fall here. It’s dangerous. But if you
do, look to the left. You get a won
derful view on that side.”
“Do you believe in Buddha?”
“Why, of course, but I think oleo
margarine is just as good.”
Another man who insists that two
heads are better than one is a hat
manufacturer.
