1st Annual Red Hot Pawn Senior Prom

Now, now. We members of the senior class here at RHP's School of Patience don't talk like that. Remember our school motto "If you don't have anything nice to say about someone...say nothing."

I thought it was "If you haven't got anything good to say about anybody, come sit next to me." -- Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Teddy.

Also attributed to her: To Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had jokingly remarked at a party "Here's my blind date. I am going to call you Alice", she sarcastically said "Senator McCarthy, you are not going to call me Alice. The trashman and the policeman on my block call me Alice, but you may not."

She informed President Lyndon B. Johnson that she wore wide-brimmed hats so he couldn't kiss her.

On another occasion, asked by a Ku Klux Klansman in full regalia to take his word for something, Alice refused, saying, "I never trust a man under sheets."

And when a well-known Washington senator was discovered to have been having an affair with a young woman less than half his age, she quipped, "You can't make a soufflé rise twice."

An astute woman to be sure. Is she an alumna?

An honorary degree is deserved.

"Alice led an unconventional and controversial life. Her marriage to Representative Nicholas Longworth III (Republican-Ohio), a party leader and 43rd Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, was shaky, and her only child Paulina was a result of her affair with Senator William Edgar Borah of Idaho. She temporarily became a Democrat during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and said in a 60 Minutes interview with Eric Sevareid, televised on February 17, 1974, that she was a "hedonist"."

Mind you, when she said that, she was 90.

I'll start up a twitter (is that what they call them?) thingy to see if we can gently (it's me after all) persuade the powers that be at our soon to be Alma Mater to bestow one on her posthumously. Maybe even at Prom Night.

Great Big Stees, during our freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years " at RHP's School of Patience"

I thought right along that "our school motto" was, "None of us is as smart as all of us."

Amazing!

JS, does Wikipedia also provide confirmation that Alice graduated from RHP's School of Patience" with High Honors?

Yes I remember her, Greek girl, if memory serves me well. Have you contacted her about the prom?

I hope Maggie makes it to the prom too. I love women with an "interesting" sense of humour.

Of course, back on 15 Mar '15 15:41 moments after our 1st Annual Red Hot Pawn Senior Prom thread was born.
She was delighted and said her Social Secretary Harold would get back to either JS or Stees. Any word?

Nary a word to me. Don't know about JS.
