LOYCE SPRINGER A good reputation is more valuable thanmon- DOROTHY TAYLOR I respect all, but love only one. DONALD WHITE He had the passion and power to roam. Poem By Doris McCafferty Dear ole Lexington School ! It makes us so sad To leave all our dear friends That we all have had. We have worked, We have played, We have looked forward to the day That has long been delayed. We must all say good-bye To dear ole Lexington High, To travel our roads alone To make our lives and homes. Sponsored by FOREMOST DAIRIES Florence, Alabama 16

Twelve years ago we were dragged into the classroom with tearful and fearful eyes. Joe Kizer not only cried for the first three days, (like most of us), but she cried for the first three years. Jane Porter and Connie Porter Garner battled it out by making faces and fighting, but compromised with a peace treaty that called for being best friends for the next nine years. Those first few days were long and unhappy ones. But as we grew ac- customed to the terrific changes, we began to enjoy school. Caylon Jones remembers being told on his first day of school that when the bell rang, school would be out. He sat tight in his chair all day, afraid to leave for fear it would ring while he was out. Lowell Hammond astonished the whole class by beginning his sandwiches Harawayl in the middle and eating out. He also passed the first three years on condi- tion and the 7th grade in the same manner. Doris Newton remembers that stinky little J. D. McCafferty pulling her pigtails. Donald White remembers slipping a snake on the teacher’s desk at Grassy. “They aren’t very pleasant memories are they, Donald? ” Sara Ann Call and Betty Ann Greer never failed getting a big fat “U” on their report card at rest period for “giggling.” Collier Remarkable changes take place in people’s taste as they grow older. For instance, little girls like painted dolls, while most boys, as youngsters like soldiers. But as years go by, and they grow up, the girls like the soldiers and the boys go for the painted dolls. Yes sir, tastes do change, as they did with our class as we entered Junior High School. Our school days are now drawing to a close. We must part and go our separate ways, but we will recall every joy and sorrow we have shared to- gether in our school days. Class Historian Connie Garner kizur .Ui.'n’wt
