ABOUT SCHOOL
L. H. S. Day by Day
(By O. O. McMiller)
“Love is in the air’’—it must be
there—it sure isn’t in this school!
We’re immune to it.
In the spring a young man’s fancy
turns to love—or something similar—
but not here—the only thing that
turns is an occasional stude trying to
get into a more comfortable sleeping
position—Hum—Just to stir up a ’lil
excitement and maybe romance.
I’m questioning several male char
acters as to their perfect feminine
hopes of arousing something. Ques
tion: WTaat’s your idea of the perfect
o. a. o.? (One and only.)
Clyde Carlton—^“You’d be surpris
ed!”
Kenneth Rhodes—^“Not so hot.’’
Robert Thomason—“Wouldn’t you
like to know?”
Ernest Osborne—“Somebody with
yump and yipee!”
Pete Shy tie—“I never have seen a
perfect one.”
Sot Trantham—“Wdw! That’s a
good one!”
Charles Phelps—“Follow your nose
to T-ville!”
Joe Bower—“It’s like the farmer said
about the giraffe—‘He don’t exist’.”
J. D. Gray—i“Bewitching curls, rav
en head, dark eyes, Dietrich shape,
heavy anklets, rose in her hair (sing
to the tune of ‘Dinah’)”
Now—question to females—’What’s
your idea of the perfect male?
Mary Patterson—“Well, he don’t’ ex
ist around here.”
Miss Pugh—-“Do you think I should
answer a question like that?”
■Viv. Gambrell—“How should I
know?”
Mrs. Hedrick—’“I’m satisfied!”
Sis Hinkle—“A. L. Disher.”
Joan Sink—“Red is my favorite col
or—especially the head type.”
Maud Walton—“Tall, dark, hand
some. (I think he’s nearer medium
sized than tall.)
Smarties—yeah, the school is cram
med full of ’em—^personally. I’ll take
vanilla. Rah for the Notre Club—
fui too—nut-r club would more fit the
occasion—4 officers—4 members—4
nuts equals 1 Notre Club—pardon boys.
Who is that witch coming down the
hall—wild locks stringing in her face
■—oh, ’cuse pleeze—it’s only Jenky—
These damp days seem to affect her
curls no little—Try a ’lil water proof,
honey. Here comes the masked rider
—my mistake again—it’s only Edna
Earle covered with poison oak—sure
sign of spring—yep—One steady couple
that has escaped publicity is Ralph
Wilson and his blondie ’lil Heart
throb, Pauline Putnam—not to omit
of course, that cute couple Sara Wil
son and Cecil Eanes—please pardon
my overlooking this bit of gossip
afore, readers—traipse and foo are
still in love, it seems.
Still in love—-Thus floats Mary Lou
Lumsden around—The object is by
name of Clyde—,“‘Pat” .\‘Pat”—that’s
not the rain dropping—it’s the natural
run of thoughts of Mary Lou Wallace
—and is he faithful!!—Margie is es
corted around by Pete (whose last
name is parallel to mine)—so Viv
turned down a college date—mark her
up one.
Dis and Dat—Was I surprised to
hear of the Dick C. and Sara D.—
Case??—no no—iFor a private diary,
calendar, coming events and what not,
and not, what—I invite you to inspect
the calendar in the Lexhipep room—
for tra.nslations see Margue or me—

(By Snip & Snap)
■Whew! The banquet’s over and are
we any better off for it? I’d say oui
in most cases involved—’What several
spectators have repeated to me—’twas
pretty good! W^'eH—^we won’t go into
that! Seriously—we seniors want to
thank you juniors for a lovely ban
quet. Everything turned out swell!
Seems that everybody at L. H. S. is
too busy to do much love-making
nowadays—but some can work while
others shirk. The seniors are occupied
with graduation and the junior’s
cleaning up after the banquet—The
Girl Reserves planning the Mother-
Daughter banquet—The football boys
practicing—^The debaters debating—
and so forth and soi on.
What sophomore girl’s romance has
been shattered by an unsympathetic
parent who doesn’t like theater men?
T-ville forever! Bah—Such eligible
gentlemen as Dick C., Charles P.,
Ralph M., and Robert T. make weekly
Sunday visits to this “one stoplight”
town where they grow ferns as sweet
news—news.
Splashes and splurgers—The Senior
boys give Betty Cuthrell credit for
having the prettiest eyes in school—
and I agree—several of the girls have
agreed that Mary Alice T. is the pret
tiest girl in school—a good choice,
Studes. No, we do not have an es
caped convict in school—it’s only Har
old Pickett with a funny, peculiar hair
clip.
Freshiea flanders—Although they of
ten deny it—■! still hear about a cer
tain Wall and a certain Cecil—It’s a
secret tho’ so please don’t tell—Ish-
mael (it is reported) is not uninter
ested in a certain Louise Pagg—And
Alvin, I won’t tell on you—oh, no, hon,
we all know you’re not lovey dovey in
clined—and of course Betty Ann isn’t
either—So wat??—And what about the
young character seen constantly with
Sylvia. Morris—not J. Eastep?—And
to the Black Eagle—you can never
stay in good with Santa Claus like
that—^so be-ware!!!
The end of a perfect—what???
as syrup, so says
ought to know?
the quartet—who
The student council picnic was a big
event in the eyes of some of the in
nocent on-lookers when Martha R. and
Joe H. went O! to town—and how!!
Thought Ruth S .was concerned.
Who’s the cute little Mars-Hiller
that Harold F. is struck on? He says
there are some mighty good looking
ones up there!! Let’s go up!
■Why did some of the boys who were
invited to "Fa. Holmes party go over
to Faith Berrier’s beforehand? Could
it be Faith?
Bill G. wants to know why Lewis H.
hasn’t asked her for another date.
Why does Bill D. let Chip Clark
beat him to a date every Sunday
night on Salisbury Street. Maybe he
doesn’t care.
Jane M. gave Seaford his ring back
because he stood her up on a date
Sunday night. Jane, I think, is going
back to her former admirer.
■Why doesn’t Sis H. crack a smile
when she is playing ping pong with
Disher? I’m asking you!
Down with Kannapolis! Several
boys, including some of our football
players, have taken a fatal dislike to
that town! I’ve heard they threaten
ed us with pistols. Everything seemed
to be all right the night of the ban
quet, though!
I heard a certain gang of Senior
girls go over to Becky’s Sunday and
just wait for the Sunday afternoon
callers—They all happen to be prize
members of the J. U. G.—And if I’m
correct the J. U. G. Club is a man-
hater’s club.
And were we all surprised over Ed
G. choice for the J.-S. Banquet—Guess
it was all right—though I know one
little sick country girl who didn’t like
it!
Maxine Leonard was seen making
faces at E. R. Lanning in Trig. Class.
Now Maxine, thought you liked a
Walser.
AVhy does Sis Hinkle write on Bill
Brown’s back “From me to you?”
Couldn’t be that she like him, could
it, Sis?
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
It Happened In The Library
Dick Craver tells Ross Craver that
“Esquire” is too naughty for this li
brary. P. S. We don’t take it.
What little blonde freshman wanted
to know if there were any “funnies”
in the New York Times? Deah, deah,
Miss Robinson! Is that your literary
level?
7 years ago . . . In 1931, Miss Mar
garet Miller was part time librarian.
Then, the total circulation was 300
books per month. Now, the circula
tion is 1,800 per month, 6 times as
many!
Dick Craver again! He came into
the library bala.ncing a book on his
head. Said it would give him poise
and help him to carry a football. We
don’t quite see how, but we’ll take
your word for it, Dick. Though it’s
rather early for training, don’t you
think?
■When called down for eating in the
book sanctuary, Stacy Foster said he
was just cleaning his teeth. New kind
of tooth paste, isn’t it, Stacy?
“Gourd-head” Potts is quite a leap
frog at times—that is, usually.
Wonder why Don Cherry always
shouts, “Save me ‘Life’?” Dying
Don!!
The WPA book menders who work
in the old student council room have
mended since September over 900
books for the school libraries in town,
including the high school.
The library has fifteen cents a year
per pupil (total of $100.00) to spend
for books, while it should have totaled
seventy-five cents per pupil ($497.75)
to meet the Southern Association re
quirements.
Said James Davenport to alumni
Baxter Smith and “Possum” Ward,
“Ya may be visitors, but ya ain’t
privileged characters, so git outa that
winder! ”
The library needs 180 books to meet
the quota it should have of five books
per pupil.
Magazine covers are all the vogue
now—would that we had newspaper
covers!
