The standards ofthe society are scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The Lexington Chapter received its charter in 1934. Since then one hundred and fourteen students have been elected to its membership.

They struggled through biology, dissecting crayfish and frogs, and fought a most valiant battle with Julius Caesar. The Sophomores have tasted this year of the life of activities in high school, while taking part in the Lexhipep, LEXICON and the other organizations. They have thoroughly prepared themselves for the experiences awaiting them in their most exciting year of all, their Junior year. They are now ready to enter the coming year with higher spirits of enthusiasm and with a greater desire to carry on the development of higher standards. 25 Sophomore :L K ,fir -,-I 1 -' xii ,,f I , A lay?

The Student Council is the central student or- ganization of Lexington High Shool. The Council consists of the general ollicers: president uLib,7 Davis, vice president Dermont Everhart, secretary ,lean Craver, treasurer Barbara Bingham, reporter Bobby Arnold, sergeant-at-arms Bill Blaylock, a chosen representative from each homeroom and the four class presidents. The Council endeavors to set up high stand- ards for the school in scholarship and conduct. It seeks to improve school conditions and tries to help all students by interpreting student Wishes and ideas. The Council meets weekly to consider such busi- ness as the charting of clubs, the enforcing of the President Elizabeth Davis Giving information point system, school elections and Weekly routine matters. These meetings serve as a clearing house for the student ideas and opinions. This year the Council has been active in helping with the defense program, in such ways as the Valentine Victory Dance, the collection of Waste paper, etc. There has been an improvement in the Student Council room, by the addition of benches, paint and a Coca-Cola machine. Also the School Store, operated by Barbara Bingham, has been most profitable and useful to the students. The 1941-42 Student Council has done much to improve the activities of L.H.S. and is due much credit from those who support it. ff wx The Various Commzitoey of Work First row: The Poster and Scrapbook Committee, composed of: Jeanne Moore, Betty Sue Hedrick, Penny McCrary, Elaine Shaw, Martha Miller, and Peggy Overinan.

T K 'I' initiation which always is interesting to the entire student body, is only one interesting feature of a year's work by a good club. This year with Lib Y rv Peacock as president, the l K 'Vs divided their program into three phases: fgxwelfare, personal problems, and socials.

Also the L f-W programs included some instruction in tirst aid. Most of the year's programs l N F' dealt with personal problems such as religion, hygiene, poise, popularity, self- X criticisms, and charm.

Heading the list of its numerous achievements, was the splendid sale of cold drinks, candy, peanuts, popcorn, and ice cream at the home games during football season. This Was successfully carried on throughout basketball season also. The juniors also sold Lexington High School pennants with satisfying results. ln the Christmas Parade, the Junior Class sponsored a float and a Junior homeroom strode off with first place. Last, but not least came the annual Junior Class play. Hard Work, excellent direc- tion, and cooperation added up to make uJane Eyrei' the biggest production of the year.

Spec-chless? 55 Highlights of the Senior Class of '42 By ELISE Swiciacoon September 1939 marked the big event of an eager group of children who began acquainting our- selves with the new mode of living called uHigh School Lifef, When the doors opened for this eager group to experience the goal for which we had so long hoped, we were exceedingly frightened. Dur- ing the first few days, we had to acquaint ourselves with the faculty, the routine of changing classes, learning the habits of the upperclassmen, and learn- ing to study. Our early participations in activities of the school from the start acclimated us to High School Life. With the capable and effective leadership of Jimmy Eanes, president, we proved ourselves as being the most efficient class ever to enter Lexington High School. Thus, our freshman year was concluded by adding another good record to a school year. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, Emily Bower, Dwight Hinkle, and Charline Williams were elected respectively as president, vice president, and secretary and treasurer of our class. Enlarg- ing ourselves by participating in more clubs and school activities, we proved ourselves thoroughly capable of becoming adapted to High School Lifef' This year. we were practically all engaged in some kind of outstanding activity. Among these were: music, football, dramatics, and various others. During this year, the sophomores grew stronger and stronger. By the end of the school term we were ready to enter the coming year with higher spirits of enthusiasm and a greater desire to carry on the development of higher standards. As our junior year began, we started with high credentials by possessing the inevitable things which we looked forward to in the eighth and ninth grades. Thus, the beginning of the high lights of our High School Life began. This being our junior year, we devoted our lives to higher activities by creating a stronger desire to play a part in athletics and in the publication of the Lexhipep and LEXICON. Obtaining our class rings created a higher spirit within us. As time passed on, we were nearing the event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet in May. Just to participate with the Senior Class in an event of this type brought many thrills to our hearts. In every detail, the banquet of this year proved to be one of the most unique and beautiful banquets ever given a Lexington High School Senior Class. Press- ing on with great anxiety and ambition, our Junior Class under the leadership of Frances Louise Mc- Kay, president, Elaine Shaw, vice president, and Bill Baker, secretary and treasurer was brought to a close. This summer of 1941 slipped away quickly. When school reopened, we were undoubtedly .looked upon as '4Dignified Seniorsw with Dwight Hinkle, president, Frances Holt Yarborough, vice presi- dent, Ann lV1cLendon, secretary, and Dorothy Spruill, treasurer. Knowing that we had at last reached the final goal that we had for the years wanted to attain, we endeavored to prove that our class was the best not only to enter but to graduate from Lexington High School. With the encourag- ing past which we had made, we maintained our tradition most definitely. Now that the end has come, and with it a new beginning, we close our happy years together with the spirit of Longfellow when he said: uLook not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine. Co forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and with a manly heartf, STATE OF The Last Will and Testament NORTH CAROLINA DAVIDSON COUNTY City of Lexington Lexington High School We, the class of 74-2' of the aforesaid State, County, City, and school, having survived the ordeal of fresh- manhood, having endured the pointless eccentricies of various members of the faculty, having completed four years of English, having juggled with our brains in geometry class, having filled a seat in assembly the correct number of times, and having faced the ordeal of three unexcused tardies, being nevertheless, of a sound mind and Article I.

DOT SPRUILL, Testator. Witnesses: DWIGHT HINKLE, President MRS. OTTIS M. HEDRICK, Sponsor JAMES A. GEROW, Principal 57 Senior Class Prophecy Take it easy, ole gal, you know you have always been accused of having hallucinations. But you're not dreaming, this is actually Lexington fthe Lexington you left behind ten years ago after being graduated from dear old L.H.S. It's hard to believe that this bustling, noisy city of 100.000 was once a quiet. sleepy little town of 10.000. Now I step on a super streamlined bus only to be greeted by Shelly Yarborough, the bus driver. Yes, he actually was graduated with the class of ,4-2. What's that that whizzed by? It was .Iames Watson, another bus driver. To the residential section of the city. My, what a quaint old home. Oli. that's the home of one of Lexington's best-loved citizens. Dot Spruill. who is a confirmed old maid. Her current best seller Life Without Lov-eu has swept the country with a storm of approval. Theres that darling Peggy Miller. uh. Peggy Wall, enter- training her two sons, twins, on the front lawn. That blond curly hair is most familiar. Her husband. Carrol, is president of the Lucky Strike Tobacco Company whose main office is located in Lexington. That lady looks familiar who just stepped into that limousine. Certainly. it's the former Frances Louise McKay. Her husband, Bill Bingham. Postmaster. The lady with her is her sister-in- law. Mrs. Bruce Gaines, the former Barbara Bingham. Bruce is the former boxer. now turned promoter. We are now looking at the home of Lexington's Mayor, Dwight Hinkle. who is married to the former Lib Davis. My, butt it's a noisy place. Oh! well, what's a home without kids! The Hinkles have been blessed with four. Thereis the home of one of Lexingtotfs richest business men. William Daniels. He was recently married to the nation's number one jitterbug, Cinney Madsen. His secretaries are Nell Sharpe, Blanch Kensey, Patsy Solomon and Geraldine Leonard and he's still the same lazy Willie. That swanky home, with pool and tennis courts. is the summer home of Bud Ward, the playboy. Bud is taking time out between trips from Hollywood to Broadway to come back to his first love. Lexington. He's been busy denying rumors of a current romance with Jo Boone. Miss America of 1949. I must go to the museum, for I've been told that Lexington has some of the most coveted modern paintings of any Museum in these United States, painted and donated by none other than the world famous artist. Robert Louis Stevenson. The lady in charge is the former Helen Smith, now married to Dallas Shoaf. My, I can just imagine what an uproar Lexington was in when she was wed. There wasn't but one happy male in the city and that was the groom. You well remember what a heart- breaker she was. Smitty has now come into her own as an artist and a designer, while Dallas owns one of the largest grocery stores in Lexington. See that building that covers a whole block? That's l.exington's new radio station, owned and operated by Aurie Myers. There's Ray Story, owner of Costner's. and Everette Hege, manager of Meritis. chattingf-Mtalking about their marital bliss. no doubt. Everette's married to Bobbie Hinkle and Ray to Edith Sink. Buck Kirk is assistant manager of Merit's now. I might as well go to McLellan's and see my old friends. Swannell Cranford is still giving sugar to all the boys. Nora Perryman's still selling records. Connie Bailey is the efficient secretary. Fannie Sowers' husband is the manager, did you know? That distinguished looking gentleman getting into the car is Dr. Phillip Sowers. Looks distinguished, doesn't he? The new National Theater is a beauty. The manager is Vestal Everhart, and the cashier is Anne McLendon. They are having the world's premiere of Out of My Heart starring Lexington's own Charles Lohr and Doris Bi-esecker. Charles is the new L'Charles Boyern of the movies and Doris is the new piff girl. You'll find Council Cowan catching the tickets. Robert McCrary and Bill Morris are those long-faced gents standing on the street corner there. Theyire partners in the undertaking business, and they're wondering whether they are going to have to resort to under-handed methods in pepping up their trade.
