THE LEXHIPEP
MARCH 19, 1942
POPeyes — by i. c. u.
I see through this glass darkly
’cause the groundhog saw his shadow,
DUO I do see through some things, and
r mma aiming to tell you about them
every one.
It's beyond me how men can be
come engaged and tnen tlirt up a
aizzy, to say nothing of the dates they
have plus the girls hearts they "try"
to break, if i were a couple of ghis
(.Who are engaged to these jerks 1 re
fer to) I’d murder a couple of guys at
L. H. S. Oh! wnat fools these women
be!
I gotta little note t’other day which
said, Quote; "Don’t leave Vestal Ever
hart and Ann McLendon out of your
gossip column next issue.” How could
I help but put them in? Everybody’s
been sitting up and taking notice to
that torrid romance.
"Golfcourse Annie,” now you stick
to high school and leave “Zonnie”
Frye alone.
This is what I heard in the halls
one day, "I don’t think Jack Myers
should have quit school because it
seems that Dan Allen is taking his
Place in Juanita Hanes’ heart. Too
bad. Jack!”
I wonder who Mildred Fleming is
thinking about these days. Hurry,
Mildred, and tell us who ’tis, or do
you still love Zeno?
two ifen I could see him—You don’t
know when you’re well off.
Why is it when one mentions a sol
dier Miss Roberts gets ail read and in
a dither?
Smitty, whom do you love? Dallas,
Johnny Davis, Carson, or Arthur? No
fooling, she has everyone of ’em at her
beck and call! Heartbreaker! You
said it!!
Jean Griffith talks incessantly of
Percy—Well, it s nice to know at least
one person loves you.
Do you remember Marvin Conrad,
that tall, dark, handsome man wno
attended school here last year? Wal
now, thought I, evvabody had forgot
ten him as I, but "Gini” McBride sho
nuf hasn’t. She poured out her heart
to me. Marvin, won’tcha please come
home?
Someone just said that Ruth Burk
hart is very lonesome now. Could it
be that a little boy out at Beck’s
Church is breaking her heart?
Wal now, since I wuz speaking of
Beck’s Church, I am reminded of Car
oline Driver, whose lover is out thar
and he is none other than Calvin
Fritts. Wal now, that’s rat sweet.
It must be true love with Geneva
Poston and Bruce Craver. All I know
is what I see!
Who is the T-ville boy mb Myers
(Senior) has been talking about?
These men who believe in letting their
girl friends take over their cars! Well
Lib’s been driving a ’41 Plymouth late
ly. Tell me how you rate it!
Marjorie Everhart and Johnny
Simpson have up a real case of love.
And they’re so nice, too!
Ruby says she and Delos have called
it “quits.” Ruby says she still loves
him though. These gals who do what
their heads tell them to do. I always
do what my heart says. Could be the
reason for my troubles, couldn’t it?
Do you remember when I told you
Evelyn Everhart has a lover? Really
she has. He lives in Norfolk, Virginia.
Keep reading my column and maybe
sometimes I’ll tell you his name!!!
What’s happened to Tritt and Ca-
dow? You never see them together
anymore—And Cadow doesn’t go flit
ting around on air anymore. Conclu
sion: They don’t love each other no
more. Tut! Tut! And me a thinkin’
it the real thing all the time.
“Mem” seems to be “out of circula
tion” here of late. Off men for life,
"Mem”? Slip over, gal; there’s an
other old maid who wants to jine you.
Men of L. H. S. I have news for
you! A certain group of girls who
went to a certain convention really
were glad to get back to see you!
They say: “We really know how to
appreciate Lexington boys now.
They’re the nicest in the whole state,”
Quite a compliment, I’d say.
Little Known Pacts About Big Peo
ple At The Beta Club Convention.
Betty Bickett said, “Lexington boys
for me.” And she practiced what she
preached by being with Bill Raker all
the time.
Dot favored State! Let me add that
her cousin. Cliff, showed her about
and also that he’s the “State” I’m
talking about.
Phyllis and “Jukas” took in a couple
of shows.
Let me add that Miss Johnson was
the most popular delegate there. I
won’t tell. Miss Johnson!
Swannell had a soft spot in her
heart for Mayors’ sons
Wonder what happened to George
Gaines? You know he and Lib Davis
were once sweet on each other. But
now Lib focuses all her attention on
Toby and Hoyt Sink. But I believe
something is going on inside that girl
that no one knows about! Is she still
in love with George?? Draw your own
conclusions.
Barbara confined her interests to
Lexington. Good girl!
Ann White was entertained by one
“cousin,” or should it be vice versa?
What’s wrong with Philip Sowers?
There’s a boy with looks, brains, and
what it takes. I can’t understand why
some girl doesn’t have him hooked.
Paul Shaw has so many lady friend
admirers that he’s been distributing
his photographs all over school. Dern
the luck, I never get something for
nothing. (Did getting it for the best
looking boy make his head grow a lit
tle?)
Jackie’s and Walter Foil’s love for
each other blossomed! I guess she
was just about the proudest girl there!
Parks and Betty were inseparable.
You shoulda seen “Dirty” mowing
’em down.
Philip, Aurie, and Steve were the
sly ones. Don’t let ’em fool you. They
did have them a girl.
Ah! yes, my friends; love’s what
makes the world go around! At least
it made the Convention. Mrs. Hed
rick says comedy is the result of the
unexpected—Well there were enough
comical mishaps down there to fill a
book but I’d be murdered if I spilled
’em.
Bill Morris and “Ekie” are just about
the happiest couple I’ve spied lately!
Did you know Margaret Yarborough
is sweet on Jim Witherspoon? Did you
Jim? Truf will come out sooner or
later!
Sybil, shame on you—Quit saying
you don’t care for Maurice! Actions,
my dear girl, prove differently.
Nell is still “that way” about “Jack.”
Boy, would I tell that man a thing or
Bye for now,
POPEYES.
P. S. Thanks for helping me. Keep
sending the gossip in.
