Also the Tau Kappa Phi held their

the home of Emily Bower with “Lib”
Peacock as co-hostess. The program
consisted of “personality charts.” Aft
er the program the hostesses served
coca-colas and sandwiches to the
members present.
‘‘Any Paint Today, Lady?’’
Don’t snub the newest student.
She may be next week’s friend;
A cheery word or helpful hint
Will earn you thanks, no end!
It’s time to turn a deaf ear
When near a private “talkie,”
And Grade A etiquette, of course.
To take a little “walkie.”
HI-Y HOLDS MONTHLY MEET

TAU KAPPA PHI MEETS
The Tau Kappa Phi met at the
school on February 10. Mr. Lea had
charge of the program which was on
the subject of first aid. Refresh

One of the unusual projects undertaken in Lexington High School is that
of painting the interior. The room just renovated is the LEXHIPEP room.
Above are shown Spurgeon Stokes and Grady Benfield on the job. However,
Grady Benfield has been replaced by Bobby Pickett, and the Lexhipep room
now is fresh and new looking, ready for visitors—thanks to the school painters.

Spring has sprung—or did you know?
fever yet? Me too!

Well, a lot has been going on about school the last two weeks. Maybe I
can tell you a little about everything.
AS
Guess you heard all about the Beta Club in Raleigh. Tip: Don’t play poker
with “Dirty” ’cause he’ll win all your money and clothes.) Yep! Dirty really
plays cards and he really played in Raleigh — Now Fanny, you and Barbara
don’t have to turn into night owls so soon. Getting up at three o’clock in
the morning and going to walk, sounds like you couldn’t sleep. (?) And
what’s this I hear about Anne White and a rug catching on fire. Burn bad?
AS
Did you like “Macbeth”? it was lucky the Seniors had studied it, for we
could follow it so much more easily. Since seeing “Macbeth” we surely have
a better idea of a Shakespearean play, and I call the Avon players “tops.”
AS
Jimmy, Jr., hurry up and get well! We mls.q you!

Tonite the Senior Dramatics Class goes to Belmont to enter the State
Dramatic Contest. Luck to ya!!

The Tau Kappa Phis certainly are making history as air raid wardens—
Hi-Y, what are you doing this year? We don’t hear much about you!
AS
The LEXHIPEP room is getting all dressed up in a new coat of paint.
Looks pretty good! Oh well! Look who painted it! Spurgeon, Vestal, Dew
berry and Parks (?) I still can’t understand it though.

—THE ORACLE
Bradenton, Florida
On February 19 Lexington High pre
sented a victory program dedicated to
the armed forces of our country. The
purpose of that program was to “re
mind ourselves that we still live in
America,” the land of the free.”
With Ann White as the student an
nouncer, the school went on the air
singing “God Bless America.” The
students stood while Bill Blaylock led
the pledge of allegiance to the flag.
Parks Easter read an essay entitled
“Why I am Glad to Be An American.”
Betty Rose Crotts read a poem en
titled “High Plight,” and Jean Craver
read “In Flanders Fields.” “The Bill
of Rights” was read by Ginny Mad
sen, after which the student body
sang “The Star Spangled Banner.”
The broadcast closed with “God Bless
America.”
The fifth successive Hit Parade was
presented on broadcast February 26.
The program began with Mr. Gerow,
Mr. Sawyer and Mrs. Ruth Walser
