More students worked part time jobs. It was the opinion of some teachersgthat this was the cause of a decline in school spirit and created general school apathy. Although blue jeans have been wornfor a long time, they just recently became an important part of every wardrobe. Today, it's platforms, printed blouses, and toe socks. . A Entertainment? Everyone did his own thing. Movies wereioften attended despite the exorbitant prices. In- frequent school dances attracted some studentsgwhile other past times were cruising the burger places and at- tending a variety of parties. Last, but not least, there was the TV set -- a major form of entertainment, a na- tional past time, and a good excuse for postponing homework. Among the fa- vorite musicians of the 70's were: Led Zeppelin, Elton john, the Eagles, and the Average White Band. Although our country was not at this time engaged in war, students faced crucial problems. National Test scores, like the SAT and the ACT, had fallen to their lowest level and many educators doubted the credibility of the high school diploma. Amid all these changes, the faculty still retained its major goal - to serve Lexington by promoting the development of individ- ual pupils to adulthood. -4.L....-a...,......a.....,..g..i...i........................,,,..,,,.,..,,.,.,g . ,, . .
