H. S The Staff of Staff Jean Griffith and Jackie Thomason, Co-editors Waller Brinkley, Business Manager The 1943 LEXICON is conducting a tour through Fort L.H.S., in Lexington, N. C., which is one of the most outstanding forts in the state. On this tour we will review the personnel, troops, and various activities of the fort. It is the desire of the staff that this tour be most enjoyable and inspiring and one which in future years may be looked upon as a vivid recollection of L.H.S. at war. This yearfs annual staff, with Jackie Thomason and Jean Griffith as co-editors, has worked diligently to attain its goal. The entire editorial staff-Doris Parker, senior editor, Bill Tuttle, junior edito-rg John Witherspoon, sophomore editor, Paul Williams, freshman editor, Billie Pickett, club editorg Jimmy Holman and Jimmy Eanes, sports editors-has planned the annual and collected the material used. Dick Peeler and Bob Arnold, staff photographers, are largely responsible for the excellent photo- graphic Work. Credit for outstanding art work goes to Barbara Lewis, Doris Richey, and Grady McCoy. Walter Foil Brinkley, business manager, has been in charge of financing this year's annual. His assistants-Jimmy Witherspoon, advertising manager, 'Kenneth Young, Jack Madsen, Mary Bernice Baker, advertising assistants, Helen Spruill, circulation manager, and Agnes Harris, typist-have assisted in getting ads and subscriptions.

Members of the class were always on hand and eager to promote the sale of cold drinks. ice cream, peanuts, popcorn, and candy whenever the football crowd gathered at Holt-Mollitt Field. uGas cardsi' often ran short and rationing limited the stock. but wherever there was anything to sell. the Juniors were on the job. In the homecoming parade. the best of the years. Junior homcrooms carried off honors for the excellent floats they sponsored. The event which is anticipated with keenest of pleasure, by both the prospective cast and audience, is the annual Junior Class Play. This play was presented with much success because of its excellent cast and capable direction. fray Next in First row: Audrey Jean Aaron Carolyn Aaron Jean Aaron Don Ayers E , , if 5732 EMZQ, l Qi -2: KV 4 t s XX Fm' 2, is?-5-' 'N 4 Qfiltia, J I 5 B gt lag, 15,14 .,..gg'-A-V - as 1 L1 f L N in, ily j .

After many days of doubt, trepidation, and disillusionment as freshmen here in the Lexington High School, we came at the beginning of this year as sophomores who had been transformed in age and experience in the scholastic, social, and worldly ways of our school. Surely, after the ardent training and leadership of last year, we should be able to cope with the divers situations facing us every day. And we have met them face to face with courage and control. We have struggled through biology, participles and infinitives, algebra, and finally Latinhunflinchingly. And now We feel pre- pared to tackle the tenth grade. We have had a most profitable year under the Competent leadership of Bill Raker, presidentg Martha Scarborough, vice presidentg Irene Kivett, secretaryg and Bill Revelle, treasurer. Our sophomore year is one that we will always remember. I-Iere's hoping our third year will be as wonderful I HSet honor in one eye, and death i' the other, And I will look on both indifferently: For, let the gods so speed me as I love The name of honor more than I fear dealhfi William Shakespeare Julius Caesar E24-I Paul Agner Billy Allen Christine Auman Scott Brandon Martha Brannoek Stuart Brown Betty Blackwelder Edna Mae Brinkley Clara Casley ,lean Coggins Fred Coppley Catherine Corbin Catherine Craver Ann Cro-well Betty Curtis Phyllis Dari' Phillip Eames Billy Lee Everhart Louise Everhart Virginia Everhart Jack Farmer Myrtle Frazier , Adelaide Giles Essie Hoyle The Trainees l 1 E251 The Sophomores 26 Adele Holman Flomena Harb Irene Kivett Lala Koonts Hope Lanning Addie Sue Leonard Doris Leonard Doris Ann Leonard Leon Leonard Mildred Lindsay Dorothy Link Bruce Lohr Doris Lomax Mildred Lopp Hostel Lord ,lean Mayberry Peggy Marley Frances Miller Betty Jean Moore Ronald Morgan Coleen Murphy Margaret Myers Martha Penn McCrary Patty Sue Nance Ruth Nance Helen Uwens ,lurl Penninger Betsy Baper Bill Baker Bill Revelle Jackie Bose Mary Ella Bothrock Evelyn Russell Martha Scarborough Keith Sink Barbara Strelitz ,lim Styers Evelyn Swing Bobby Team Maxine Thompson ,lan Walser Jackie Weaver Helen Geraldine White Hazel White Tommy Wicks Wyndolyn Wilbanks Betty Wilson Donald Winecofl .lohnny Witherspoon l27l -I.

Our season opened when we met the strong Reynolds High Eleven. Both clubs played good ball and as the half ended the Yellow Jackets were in the lead 6-0. ln the scond half both teams fought neck and neck until Reynolds recovered a fumble on the Lexington goal line. This served to set up Reynolds, lone touchdown of the game. The conversion was good, so they won 7-0. The Boyden-Lexington game was the first home game of the season. Salisbury won by a score of 19-6. Our next game was also played at Holt Molht Stadium. Lexington was handed its third defeat of the season at the hands of Mount Airy, the scofe being 12-7. Although Mount Airy won the game, Lexington led in first downs. After the Mount Airy defeat, the Yellow ,lac-kets journeyed to Reidsville to play the Reidsville High School Golden Lions. Despite Lexington's fighting spirit, the Golden Lions, Eleven won 14--6. Lexington then journeyed to High Point to lose one of its most stalwart players when Melvin Everhart broke his leg. We lost to the Bisons, by a score of 35-0. ln the sixth game Lexington hit the winning streak by downing Barium Springs 13-0 before a large homecoming crowd here in Lexington. ln the next game that was with the Children,s Home of Winston-Salem, Lexington lost 7-0 although the Yellow Jackets played what was perhaps the best game of their entire season. It was the first time that the Children's Home had beaten Lexington in six years. tai Then came the surprise of the season for most of Lexington football fans--and Raleigh fans too for that matter. The Jackets traveled to Raleigh to meet the Caps in a game which saw no hope for a Lexington victory. However a reorganized L.H.S. eleven beat them to the tune of 13-12. It really was a banquet for the local team. m In the next game that was with the Junior Order Home of Lexington. the Jackets lost another thriller 14-12 as they failed to make the extra points that spelled defeat. The game was also for the city championship. Both teams fought a hard game all theiway and it proved to be one of the best games of the season. -V The Jackets then played the Concord Spiders and won their fourth victory of the season 12-0. It proved to be probably the most thrilling game of the season. Lexington outplayed the scrap- ping Spiders all through the game in every department of football. G'Wz1shie Williaiiiis played his last game at tackle for L.H.S. He is playing for Uncle Sam now. The Thomasville Bulldogs, the arch rivals of L.H.S., won their hrst game from a Lexington Eleven on Thanksgiving day by the score of 20-6. During the first half the Jackets played a wonderful defensive game, and the second half they started rolling and scored one touchdown and were on their way for another when a pass interception stopped it. This game closed the season for the Lexington team with a game record of four wins and eight losses. The record is not so bad as it looks, for the team played good ball all season and most of the games were by a very narrow margin. Almost all the players were green and inexperienced. but with most of them returning next year, it looks as if Weill have one of the Lexington teams of old. 5351 Straight Shooters December 11 . .

The first thing the Student Council did was to turn the cafeteria into a recreation room. lt was painted and now candy and milk are sold here with music from the piccolo. Next we tried a scrap campaign with which we were very successfulfcollecting around 3568. We used some of this to buy the electric clock for the stage to tell us when we are on and off the air. When football season came along the Council ordered pencils with the football schedule on them which were very popular. At every home football game the council wrote invitations asking members of the other schools to visit us. Few schools could accept because of transportation, however. At Thanksgiving the Council gave their semi-annual dance. This time it was a square dance with the gym decorated in Thanksgiving fashion. feat The Student Council Then the Council took over the work of beginning a Victory Corps. ive are still working out plans for this. Council members have been sent to several schools to represent Lexington High School. We sent two representatives to High Point to the Social Standard Conference. The Council is now working on the milk program. The council is sponsoring, this program and they appoint groups of people to work in shifts in the cafeteria. We have also set aside around 3,510 to provide milk for the rest of the year for thosewho need it. Lately the council voted to lend the school S570 to buy food to start the cafeteria again. So far the eouneil has heen working without an adviser but we are all glad to know that Miss Downs will advise us for the re-st of the year. i391 Fort L. H. S.

We eventually became used to the glamour of lockers, homerooms, changing classes, and five teachers a day, and settled down to high school life under the capable leadership of jean Griffith, presidentg Helen Tussey. vice president, and Jackie Thomason, secretary-treasurer. We adapted ourselves to this new existence and soon began to participate in all social and intellectual activities. The year passed quickly and we advanced, leaving behind us an outstanding record. Our sophomore year really put us in the limelight. We participated in more outstanding activities, displayed our superiority before the freshmen, and grew stronger and more im- portant day by day. This year we were led by Jeanne Wiilliamson, Dermont Everhart, and Betty Sue Hedrick, as president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. We were invited into additional organizations and soon participated in most of the activities such as: music, dramatics, sports, and social aliairs. Adhering tenaciously to the high standards which we had adapted for ourselves, we, the 'aSilly Sophsw sailed on to our next year. With new ideas, we happy-go-lucky students became sophisticated juniors and promptly and proudly assumed the responsibility of sharing in and promoting the more worthy activities of the school Class rings, the LEXICON, aflane Eyrefi and the Lexlzzfpep became a part of our busy life and also held the spotlight on our ever-advancing class. Selling drinks and candy at the basketball and football games helped to provide the money for the crowning glory in May- the beloved ,lunior-Senior Banquet. When the occasion Hnally came, it was appraised by all as the most original and lovely banquet ever given a Lexington High School Senior Class. After a most enjoyable and profitable year, our all-too short period as juniors under the eliicient direction of Ann White, president, Charlie Williams, vice president: Sarah Cambrell. secretary, and Bob Arnold, treasurer, came to a magnificent end. The summer of 74-2 passed rapidly and when school reopened, we were crowned 4'Dignified Seniorsfi With our shining, unsurpassed records as an incentive, we endeavored to reach the final goal as the best class that L.H.S. ever had produced. 'Under the direction of our same president and vice president of our junior year, Ann White and Charlie Williams, and the newly elected secretary and treasurer, Jeanne Williaiiisori and Betty Ruth Conrad, we began the last unit of our high school careers. With the inspiring guidance of Mrs. Ottis M. Hedrick, our senior adviser, We upheld our tradition of the past three years and worked even harder on the various and enlarged curricula and extra-curricula activities. The most important change in curricula activity included the Victory Corps which was set up to consist of six new classes composed chiefly of seniors. The extra-curricula activity that was stressed most comprised work pertaining to physical fitness. With new and wholehearted enthusiasm we, as the most adult member of our school entered into this new program. Perhaps the realization that in a very short time many of 3137s boys would be in the service of Uncle Sam and the girls would fall into the ranks of nurses and other volunteer work made this war program more realistic to us. We were a vital part of a democracy for which we were fighting. We had a duly for which we must be responsible. We have come to feel as Shakespeare expressed in the words of old Polomous. c'This above all, to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Doms PARKER.

VINCENT KI-II.I.N'. l'rim'1'pul I56l Senior Class Prophecy The continual c-latter of thirty-odd typewriters, the swish of the swinging doors as they opened and closed, the city editor barking' at one cub after another along with the deep thuds coming from below in the printinz room as the presses turn over and over all go to make known to a passerby that he or she is nearing that which is called the outer office of the New Yuri: Tilmes. As head of the feature-writing department. I am sitting at my desk busily engaged with some intensive CH work. whenuthe swinging door to my partition of the great establishment, swings forth with a gesture of eloquence, and lo and behold in strides that respect,-commanding and stately sports editor of the fl'iniws, James Dermont Eve-rhart. Dirty, I scream, lookl I've had to start a new one. CRW ferring to the scrapbook that he and I have been laboring: over for the past ten years, containing item after item of the doings of our fellow classmatesj Brinkley's coming here to New York, to speak! You know his appointment as anibassador to the Court of St. James is virtually assured sim-e he now has the aggressive support of Charlie NVillianis, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Wayne Blalock, the senior senator from North Carolina and the entire Southern representation in the House of Congress, headed by its speaker Loyd Tysingerf' Well, if you'll stop elattering for one measley second, booms Dirty, I'll let you in on another interesting secret. VVe are eelebritiesl Bill Tritt isgiving a guest performance at Carnegie Hall Friday evening. and we are to be his guests of honor! Tut. tut. Goodness, I sigh, isn't it wonderful that our class was the one to send forth all those famous K'll2lY'?lCi6l'S? VVhen I look back on that night of June l, 1943, I realize that none of us ever guessed what heights we would reach. There isn't a blavk sheep in the entire class. Is that the first scrapbook over there? asks Derxnont, point- ing to a huge, brown bundle on my table. Uh, uh I nod absently, gazing out the window. Jeanne, come over here, Dirty commands, bringing me back to reality. My glance finally falls upon him over at the table where he has opened the huge book and is smiling down at something. Curiosity, more than obedience, draws me to him. Remember how we all called him 'Orson' and kidded Helen because she was so crazy about him 'V' queries Dirty, lookin: down at a. handsome picture of Bill Raker and Helen Mendenhall. They're really up on top. I don't believe Lunt and Fontaine ever claimed more popularity. Jimmy Ezines says Hollywood's a thousand times better than the stage though, and he's tried them both, I reply. You know, Clark Gable the End publicity that Bruce Craver, his manager, gave him, is the secret to his suceess. At least that's what Frances Miller and Myra Mathis say, and they've both been out there with him and should know. Surrounding the picture of Helen and Bill are little clippings from different papers. For instance. the:'e's one about Mawdaliue Coggins' returning to L.H.S. to manage the bank. the year that Miss Hoffner put up the plea that she just eouldn't get along without her a year longerg and in the same item there a notation that Clayton Gray and Gerald Hill had been selected to head the Diversified Occupations classes. We glance below and both begin to chuckle as we see Miller- Holman Nuptials Announced. NVeren't, we all surprised when we found that Jimmy and Peggy had been married a year and hadn't told anyone? I inquire, Let's see. it was announced the summer after Jimmy graduated from Carolina and. interrupts the sports editor, but what made me so mad was that Pearl Hege and Giles Crowell went with them and they never let it out! Jimmy's traveling for some Chicago concern and the last, time I heard from home, he and Peggy were just beginning to build a house-but whatever happened to Giles? I know Pearl He'ge's completely remodeled Hege Inn and is operating the nicest home- like hotel in the South, but I don't believe I've heard about Giles Crowell in years. Pensively I scratch my head- yes I knozv! That year he went to McCallie he fell head over heels in love with the army and instead of going on to Carolina, he stayed there and was promoted. Now, if I'm not mistaken. he's in Arizona, and he's a colonel or something. Oh, I'n1 positive that's right because Barbara Lewis married Major Charles XV. Mc-Dade and he and Giles work together in charge of a, camp. I believe that Carl Brown is out there, too. There was only one clipping left on the page, and we leaned down in order to be able to read it. The black type almost, jumped at us. Young Surgeon Performs Miraculous Operation. Yes, that was the time Dick Peeler made the headlines after saving the life of Robert McCrary, the playboy of the Empire City, after every other physician had pronounced his ease as hopeless. Marie Bullock was the head nurse on the ease and Mary Catherine Troutlnan Save the anestlietiv. They reeeivt-d almost as much credit as Dirk did. tThere I So, musing 10 myself ag'ain.J Slowly Dirty turns the page. to where there are pasted two gorgeous colored photos of Patti Sieeloff and Jessie Gordon, Theirs is realli' a dream ease. It seems that they eaine to New York to apply for secretarial positions in John l,0YVPl'lN office. Before their first week of work was over they were discovered and are now the two most. llll0l021'H,1lllL'll models in the world. Patti's picture had been clipped from the eover of the most widely read ladies' magazine in the If S- The iVUIllll7lS ll'orf1. edited by Doris Parker and Loraine Morgan. and .lessit-'s lovely countenance had adorned plwietieally every other inner Iliigtk Margaret Dougzan and lX'lar,g,'aret Tuttle were sent for to fill the jobs they vaeated. Miss iVilliainson, announces Mr. liverhart, we are about to gaze upon the faces of the more distinguished military gentle- Oul' elussf' men of Yes, they got to be what they wanted to be, Dirty, l reply. XX 'e would never have believed it then. would ive? Gooney used to sit around and declare that he would be the tirst, flyinf captain and sure enough, he was. The Naval Air Corps claimed him and John Balne, and they're both still in service, Dirty, isn't John a Lt. l'o1nniander or something! I inquire. Yes, he's stationed somewhere out in the Paeitie. Bobby Lookabill and Kenneth Lianniug are with the Marines and are stutioned in the sanie place: that's why I knew. Look, Derniont. remember when this Uilllltt out! Helen Nanve and Howard Hatley won national reeognition in some eontest for their poetry. Oh, and since then, Helen has rented a lovely cabin up in the Blue Ridge lilounains in order to live by herself and write-the hermit type. Oh, and what about this one when Steve Thomas invented that anti-gravity ray and the government built a huge plant in Lexington to Ill2lllllfElCIlll't' the lll2l4'lllllk'S. Edna Owens was made head of the otlive and she chose Hazel Jenkins and Catherine Leonard as her ll6ll2ll'flll!'Ilt heads. That wasn't so very long agrol I recall too, that Steve made so inueh money that he retired and let Odell Perryman and Eddie Maley operate the plant. iVith that item, we completed another page and turned again to see what we would tind. The pages were actually lilthy with dust. it had been so long since we had looked at the book. XVhy, the last time we-'d opened it was to paste in the account of Grady Mc-Coy's wedding to the number one Glamour Girl of the nation, Betty Mcklrary. Grady had inherited :Ii-1,00l'l,tJtl0,tl00 from an unknown uncle and was the most. sought after bachelor of the South until Betty finally hooked him. Heres an advertisement from the Boots Shop at home, NYhy in the world is that in here, .Teallliiefu lJidn't you know that Catherine Hilliard tor should I say Catherine King?

Dirty querously looks at me :ind then, D0n't Sarah Ganibrell and Jackie run some sort of a shop baek horns-'? Yes, they've formed a corporation called 'Ganibrell and Tholnason, Interior Deeoration' and have done over prac-tieally every room in Lexington. The-y're really quite the rage. Oh, and guess what Y Jaekie has never niarried bevause for the past three years she has been wooed by the two most eligible bac-lielors in town, Philip Head, wh0's president of Flrlanuqer Mill now. and John Lawrence, who turned out to be Professor Lawrence, and she simply ean't lnake up her mind which one she loves the most. Golly, Jeanne. talking about love attairs, what about Bob Arnold's and Betty Sue HeClriek'sf They jointly own the finest elinie in Atlanta, and both are exeeptional floetors and scientists. but they've never realized that they love eaeh other. I just vunnot figure that out. Evelyn Fox works as their recep- tionist so thatfs where I got my information. Jean G-ritlith married Perry. I guess you knew that, but she yvaited until two years ago to give up her career to do it. Some research lab in XVashington begged her not to marry hiin because her services were so needed. but I guess Perf-y meant, a little bit, more. There are two other chemists in the class, too, Addie Mae Leonard became so interested in water-purifying while she lived out near the water plant that she. tosrether with Ruby Leonard. filSt'tlV9l'9fl a new way to purify it and now they supervise all water-purifying plants in the South, ,- l5fl Dirty and I had been going at such a furious rate that neither of us noticed the office boy jumping up and down beside us. Will one of you stop long enough to let me get a word in edgewise'! He screams at us! There is an office full of people to see you both. They say they're from Lexington, and they've been waiting exactly 95 minutes! Well, send tl1e1n in of course, smiles Dirty, then wonder who it is 2 No sooner was this asked than answered, because at that very moment the door opened and we swung around to look at our visitors. Ralph Cope! and Lucy Cooper!-and Evelyn Bates-and Betty ltose Crottsl--and Tola Auman and Iris Osborne-and Marjorie Cross! How wonderfull VVhat in all doing in New York '!

And before we could say jack rabbit, they that's the way it is in the show business, We quickly turn back to the scrapbook, eage more. eferring to Melvin, I'd forgotten that my relatives picture tr were gone. I guess always on the go. r to reminisce some was plastered all over one page. Let's see, this was the year he coached the Yellow Jackets and they heat Finger High for the national championship. lVasn't lViley Hedrick assistant coach? I believe so, I reply, That was a redrletter year for our Alma Mater. because I remember it was selected the ideal high school of North Carolina and did Mildred Bailey lean back in her prinr-ipal's chair and grin to herself! You've got the funniest looking things stuck in this book. Where in heaven's name did this piece of wood come from and whv! YVell, Dirty, for your information, this is to remind me that .lack llladsen is Vice President of the Georgia Hardwood Company in Augusta, Georgia. He sits in absolute comfort with Peggy Phelps on one side and Frances Spurrier on another, and lives a life of complete ease. Tl1at's a big time business executive for you! You should run down and take over for him. Once more we turn a page-no large pictures this time, only small items. One is about a garden party Mrs. Plverette Hege and Mrs. Fred Brown tthe former Maxine Pope and Polly Dabbsl gave in honor of Betty Ruth Conrad tI'll just call her that because I don't recall the names of her tive spousesj formerly of Lexington, who had just published the most widely read non-fiction book of our day, Life Without Love. Another was the announcement of the opening of Lexington's newest establishment. a drug store. Modern to the 'nth degree. owned by Jane Grimes who, as we can well remember, gained her experience in Purcell's our senior year. The longest clipping was one about our two patriotic females, Lyndol Leonard and Jewell Smith, who were home on leave from the Army and Navy Medical Corps respectively. They tried to show the boys during the war that Florence Niglitingalismu isn't dead. Look at old Ann, chuckles Dirty as he lo of Ann NVl1ite in a bathing suit.

And now her musical ability is as much in demand as is her medical aid. My. these talented people! Jeanne, where do all these girls work whom Tommy Thomason has hired? inquires Dirty after reading that HT. T. had hired four new curb girls. Haven't you heard about his spacious restaurant-drug store combined out at the golf course? Charles Lohr designed it and they say it's a hundred square yards that its situated on and all space outside the building itself's cove1'ed in tile. Doris Auman, Margaret Parker. lVillie Catherine Greer, Peggy Overman. Ruth Bailey and Elizabeth Myers went to work the1'e as the first roller skating, curvacious curb-girls in the U. S. Half of Lexington works there: Archie Craver and Bobby Pickett are head of the pharmacy department in the drug store to mention two. They say he's really prospering and it's no wonder with all those drawing cards! Heres something interesting that I've never seen before, about the time that Helen Tussey's persian cat was Very ill at Catawba College, where Helen teachers English, and Calvin Jenkins, Lexin:','ton's Veterinarian, was called at 3:00 a,m. He took Emo Belle Honeycutt, his assistant, with him, and they finally discovered that the cat had swallowed one of Helen's knitting needles. l 58 Well, Dirty, what about this one when Edith Jones or- ganized the Little Theatre back home and 'Doc' Bunton and Marietta Everhart starred in the comedy hit of the season 'Not Me, But You,' with the supporting cast composed of Ruth Craver, Mattie Touchstone and Herman Stamey. I was in Lexington for that, and I can remember sitting with Sara Thompson and Agnes Harris and discussing the future for the women'S business world. They're both private secretaries, you know. News from the Y.W'.C.A.? I didn't know there was such a thing in Lexington, Dirty remarks. Oh, yes, I proudly answer, Martha Bowers and Virginia Mc-Bride engineered the organizing of one in Lexington. Mary C. Beck is secretary of it now, and Mary Lou Michael and Mary Lookabill live there to act as chaperones for the young women. Wasn't there another Mary Beck in the class, Jeanne? 'Little' Mary Beck? She, Margaret Miller, Alline Harris and Frances YVeaver all went to work in a defense plant during the war and then remained there and are hard at work making automobiles right this very moment. Ready to turn, Jeanne '? inquires my fellow worker. Go ahead, a-head is right for that is exactly what we see: a-head. and what a head, one that belongs to that handsome heartthrob of the professional football world, Austin 'Sure-Foot' Frye. Bobby Anderson rooms with him in Philadelphia to manage his affairs and eep him out of trouble. Oh, and t.his picture and write-up were p rt of a feature story on Austin written jointly by Kenneth Johnson and Buck Kirk who are employed on the staff of some well known newspaper now. Honest to goodness, here's another queer something or other, of all things, a receipt. VVould you mind explaining it all to little junior 2 All right, sarcastic, do you remember Helen Crow? lVell her receipt for 'Collar Souffle a la Mud' took the whole country by storm and was printed in the Times three years ago. I just happened to want to keep it. Okay! W'ell that takes the cake: a bottle wrapper, 'Myers Hair Tonic-It grows YVhile you wait' To whom does it belong? That crazy Roland Myers was giving his old friend Jack Leonard a shave and a haircut one day when he accidently poured something he had concocted into Jack's hair. It turned out to be hair'growing tonic, and ever since that day, he and Jack have been bottling the stuff and selling it. Wonder if he couldn't manufacture something that would automatically shave and cut your hair without having to use a razor. because Carroll Dorsett and that crew he has been working for could surely use it. One day when they came in here, Bill Lanning and Zeb Little looked more like grizzly bears than respectable top-notch mechanics. Ever since Carroll took over Lucky Teter's performance, he and that crew composed of Sam Hooks, Frank Ijames, Ralph Ferrell, Bruce Hartley and Calvin Brinkley has done nothing but devote every second to preparing and devising new ways to entertain the public at the risk of their own necks. Jeanne, we're at the end of the road. Here's the last page, imagine, we've looked through this book and have seen exactly what 145 people have made of their lives! You're right. pal, and these things right here may be last, but not the least: Delbert Cripliver was decorated by the President last year for distinguished service to his fellow men after he had shown that there was a way to conserve electricity that would save the nation a total of 317,000,000 annually. This item beside it is about Hilda Crouse, Ruth Harwell, and Ruby Davis who all became religious workers. Ruth and Hilda hold positions in two churches in Lexington and the item mentions the fine work they are doing, while Ruby has just been sent to Liberia for missionary work. lVith a contented sigh, Dirty Let's get something to drink second before going back to the signal for an office boy.7 Hey, and grabbing us two Bush-Cola' tMay I interrupt to explain flips the cover over and says, and turn on the news for a old grind. t B-zzzz goes the fellow, how about running out sl that Bush-Cola is that super- collossal cola drink recently presented to the public by Nancy Rose Leonard and which has swept to instant popularity.J Good4morning, ladies and gentleman tmy, how that radio startled mel: this is Harold Parker speaking to you on behalf of the makers of Sink's Soothing, Sweet-Smelling Salve and bringing you once more the 'Mibber FcGee and Lolly' program, starring those all time favorites of the stage-screen, Billy Joe Leonard and Mary Bernice Baker!
