Credit Where
Credit Is Due
(Continued from Page One)
Upon completion of her four years
there, she wants to enter a conserva
tory, preferably Julliard School of
Music in New York.
Charlie Williams, the efficient busi
ness manager, claims no less brilliant
a high school record than does
Jeanne. He began his work on the
LEXHIPEP in his junior year as as
sistant business manager and was
later promoted to business manager.
He has done an excellent job and de
serves much credit and praise for his
hard work and ingenuity.
In addition to his work on the LEIX-
HIPEP, Charlie has taken part in all
extra-curricular activities. He is a
member of the National Honor So
ciety, Quill and Scroll, Beta Club and
President of the Hi-Y Club. He has
also been very active in athletics, this
year being a member of the tennis
team, and had it not been for a phy
sical injury, he would have been a
valuable member of the football and
basketball squads.
Charlie plans to attend Wake For
est next year in the hope of preparing
for his chosen profession, that of be
ing a lawyer and some day becoming
a Supreme Com’t Judge.
The LEXHIPEP staff wishes its
“bosses” the very best that college life
has to offer, and most of all that they
both attain the goals they have set
for themselves.
On Friday night, May 14, the climax
of L. H. S.’s social year came. The
juniors royally entertained the sen
iors at a delightful banquet. The Coun
try Club was beautifully decorated with
arrays of spring flowers. The juniors
welcomed their guests to the tune of
“Jingle, Jangle, Jingle” with original
words. In response to the toast to the
seniors by Bill Hunt. Ann White ex-
pi’essed how happy the seniors were
to be there. Caroline Young gave a
very original toast to Mrs. Cuthrell,
W’^ho responded with her usual poise
and grace. At this time Louise Price
sang, “Let’s Get Lost.” Immediately
afterwards Lloyd Tysinger paid tribute
to Mr. Andrews who responded with
a word of appreciation and hope for
our happiness and success. A group
of five girls rendered a song and Mr.
Kelly gave a response to Charlie Wil
liams’ toast to the faculty. Jeanne Wil
liamson then made a lovely tribute to
Mrs. Hedrick who responded with an
original poem. Several members of the
junior class then presented two wit
ty and delightful skits. To close the
program, both the juniors and seniors
stood and sang the farewell song.
Throughout the evening a delicious
cold course was served. The menu
consisted of potato salad, ham rolls,
sandwiches, deviled eggs, rolls, apple
glarv?, pickles, fruit sherbet, cookies
and tea.
As soon as the floor was cleared, the
dance began. Music was furnished by
the nickelodeum. A special late-show
was booked for the occasion and many
attended this showing at 11:00.
Afterwards, as one last fling, several
groups of juniors and seniors had par
ties celebrating the gala occasion. Al
though some folks didn’t get in until
6 and 7 A. M., (We’ll mention no
names) most of the celebrating was
over by 2 or 3 A. M. and the juniors
and seniors returned home, after a
most successful banquet, “tired—'but
very happy.” ('Trite, but so are we).

Editor’s Note:
Would like to insert here a note
from Cadow Yeomans, a former class-
n)ate who now lives in Charleston, S.
C.: “I miss every single person in L.
H. S. and especially every senior. I’d
give almost anything to be graduating
with my class from a school like Lex-
iJigton High.”
