Use Your Imagination The first grade had a variety of activi- ties throughout the year. As a class pro- ject, they wrote a book. It was of the fanta- sy type, packed from cover to cover with whatever their imaginative minds could dream up. The class’s talents stretched much fur- ther, though. Students studied the solar system and decorated their classrooms with hanging planets, stars, moons, and other celestial bodies. One day each week was set aside as “dress up day.” It was a day the students could act like adults, wearing what they wanted to, and being what they wanted to be. While participating in these fun occa- sions, first graders developed skills in reading, writing, arithmetic, and other fundamental areas of education. FIRST GARDE FAVORITES: (front) Kelli Etheridge.

Pieces from the Styles at Lexington were as unique as personalities. Students reflected much of themselves through their apparel. New styles were seen from head to toe. Ladies’ hats made their way slowly onto campus, and fads such as twist beads and jelly shoes became “must” items for girls’ wardrobes. Summer saw girls clad in cropped shirts, walking shorts, and mini-skirts. The same type cropped shirt was worn in the fall with cropped pants. Males wore many types of muscle shirts and several styles of shorts in warm weather. Winter brought the appearance of vividly colored sweaters in styles for both sexes. Button-down collars had competition with up turned collars on short shirts. Tra- ditional blue jeans were also perked up as “pieced” jeans became common sights. Many pairs were several inches above the ankle and were accompanied by denim jackets. Several punk styles crept into the fash- ion scene. Bandanas, parachute clothing, and spiked bracelets were occasionally seen, but never became a major trend. ft ft i'.iL : Danies Smith Carrie Springer Dustin Springer Corey Springer Corey Steen Krystal Thomas Joseph Tidwell Jason Waddell Kam Walker Katie Wilson Sara Wilson John Wright Kindergarten IS

JUST A LITTLE friendly persuasion is all it takes for John Gray to urge his sister Allison into the water. First graders who were accustomed to pool parties, spending the day playing with toys and dolls, and watching cartoons all the time got a case of culture shock upon entering school.
