Today Is The Day The Lexhipep Of The Junior Class Play XXVII LEXINGTON, N. C., MARCH 24, 1950 No. 6 JUNIOR CLASS TO PRESENT “A YOUNG MAN’S FANCY” TONIGHT Ain Y It Jes' Grand —Patsy Thompson It’s the same old schol life for band students day after day. Get up in the mornings with a “busting” headache, and the first thing that " com-es in mind is, oh, goodness, I must have blown my brains out last night, practicing. Then you go to the medicine cabinet and take just a few aspirins—one-half box, to be exact. Then you say to yourself, “I better stick the rest in my pocket; I wouldn’t doubt it one bit if I won’t need them after I get a couple of blows on the head with that stick Mr. Wagner al ways carries around. He always calls me down for talking, but, my good ness, you know anybody who site be tween Nig Clark and Don Sink is not going to talk. Goodness, no! Well, fourth period comes around and such a racket in the auditorium you' have never heard in your life, ’The people in New York probably wonder what in the world that thing is way up there in the sky. But of course the people in Lexington know it’s just the roof flying off the L.H.S. school building. Everything becomes quiet after Mr. Wagner stands still like the Rock of Gibraltar. Oh, goodness; Those poor cornet players are catching it again, Jimmy Ayers says he just cannot hit high E, but Mr. Wagner says he hits it e"ery day playing that jazz music, but he just doesn’t know it when its down on paper. So he starts to help him, but all of a sudden , he stops and turns around. The bas.i players are arguing about something. Mr. Wagner just merely says pay Earlie a nickel after band rehearsal and continues to ex plain to Jimmy. But you don’t hear another word from the bass players. They are afraid they will go bankrupt. It’s time for the band to do one of their most enjoyable things—go on a trip—so they decide to go to Lenoir to hear their concert. Everybody is in his seat and the band begin an overture. In the middle of it the band director stops to turn a page, and all of a sudden someone begins to clap very loudly all by him self. So naturally we all turn around to see who it is and of course it isn’t anyone but Hulin Cooper just clapping all by himself. Boy! Was his face red!! When the overture was over and everyone else clapped, we didn’t hear clapping from the seat behind us. But did you attend our concert in the Lexington High School Audito rium last Friday night? We (in the band) thought it was a swell per formance, and evidently the audience liked “Three Blind Mice,” as well as every other number we played. All the peppy Irish tunes in honor of St. Patrick’s Day were good, too, weren’t they? We are planning to have another concert May 19, and it will be every bit as good as this one. By next year we hope to increase our band membership from forty-two to fifty, all with uniforms and fine Instruments, of course. Tliis band week drive should expand our woodwind section considerably. If you want to have a good time plus some good training- strike up with the Band!! SCENE FROM YOUNG MAN^S FANCY' Pictured above: Left to right—Charles Hill, “Teeny” Redwine, Lots Ann Marley, Mary Jane Shirley. Seated is Ann Beachum. INFORMAL INITIATION OF QUILL AND SCROLL Most prominently seen are Joe Ann Blackwelder and Jim Redwine. Also other members of Quill and Scroll. NEWS BRIEFS —Elizabeth Clodfelter BELIEWE ME WHEN I say that the LEXHIPEP staff had no intention of minimizing the work being done on the Y.M.C.A. Honestly, we only meant to try to spur on an early completion of our youth recreational cen ter. Why not find a few jobs with which we young people might help? W«’d certainly love to do our share. YIPES! YOU SHOULD have been at the initiation meeting of the Quill and Scroll. What fun!! Harriet, gee, but you’re popular! DON’T MISS m! The Junior play should be a gala, affair tonight. With such an excellent choice of cast, it can’t fail to make a big hit!!! MARCH 13-17 WAS Band Emphasis Week.. Our band ended the week with a bang by giving a free concert Friday, the 17th. It was a grand per formance, band members! WE ARE SORRY our basketball teams lost in the conference, but there was a fine piece of teamwork displayed by both teams We’re still proud of you—gals and guys!!! “Teeny” Redwine, Charles Hill, Lois Ann Marley, Johnny Dixon, Star With Excellent Supporting Cast With a very well-chosen cast and excellent directing, the Junior Class will present tonight at 8; 00 o’clock in the high school auditorium, “A Young Man’s Fancy.” This is a fast- moving and a delightful play which will appeal to young and old alike. The setting is in a boys’ bunkhouse at a summer camp to which young Dickie Crandal, a shy and sensitive boy, comes to learn how to get along with other boys. With the help and advice of Sylvia Wilson, a pretty young cBunselor, he overcomes the razzing of his bunkmates and discovers how to turn the tables on them. He also has a part in the reconciliation of Sylvia and Harold Greenley, co-owner of the camp; and though many complica tions result, there is the inevitable happy ending. Dickie is transformed into a “regular fellow,” and Sylvia and Harold get together for what appears to be a lasting romance. The audience will be kept entertained also by the antics of Dickie’s fellow-camp ers. In all, it is a romping comedy which offers a good understanding of young people and will be highly amus ing to everyone. The cast of characters in order of their appearance is as follows: Har old Greenley, Charles Hill; Sylvia Wil son, “Teeny” Redwine; Pearl, Ann Meacham; Dr. Spee, Webb Leonard; Dorothy Bennett, Mary Jane Shirley; Duvie, Joe Bafford; Grilly, Gray Da vis; Jokey Stephen, Don Yates; Bud dy, Tony Solomon; Helen Greenley,' Lois Ann Marley; Dickie Crandall, Johnny Dixon; Oliver Crandall, Bobby Koonts; Mrs. Mary Crandall, Amelia Brown; Faith, “Kitty” Philpott; Miss Weatherhead, Becky Thomason; Boy Camper, Blease Scott; Camp Trilby Boy, Brice Leonard; Vickie Ann, Bar bara Young; and Lucille, Betsy Stoner. Under the patient and capable di rection of Mr. Theodore Leonard and Mrs. Fred B. Lewis, class advisers, and Miss Geraldine Newsome, the cast has studied and worked on the play for four weeks, and fairly live the parts that they portray. It is with much enthusiasm and a great deal of expectation that the people of Lex ington await this entertaining pro duction.
