VIII Advertisements IX With an eye ever open to the future we commemo- rate 25 years of striving for modernization of our cur- riculum which enables our students to gain the skill and knowledge necessary to become better men and women prepared to meet and subdue the challenges of tomorrow’s world. 6 Our Home Economics and Agricultural Departments work closely with modern family living and serve as a stepping stone for our students to develop the skills that are imperative for community leadership. 7 here, and those who have gone ahead and enriched our heritage. Sports involve most of the students either as specta- tors or participants. In competition our teams dis- play hard work while trying to reach auspicious goals. In P. E. each person is given a chance to show individual initiative by working toward the goal of physical fitness, which is so important to Americans today. mini • lrJiui tnmirs sunivi -iui jrs auo� School spirit is further exemplified by the colorful display of the band, which also provides a dramatic and emotional impact on its listeners. The Annual Staff has worked untiringly to produce this 25th volume of the Bearer. We hope you will find enjoyment among the pages of this Silver Anniversary edition. Administration Our principal, Mr. O. W. White, has a multi- plicity of duties, but he is somewhat unique because he finds time to do little things which might appear to some as insignificant. How- ever, it is a mark of his character to be a per- sonal friend to each student, as well as having a personal interest in the appearance of our campus. Behind the scenes of everyday school life, these three people keep our school running. Mr. White, Mrs. Williams, and Mr. McMeans are caught in the daily chore of accounting for school funds. Vice-Principal, Raymond McMeans, or coach as students affectionately call him, serves as assistant to Mr. White and arranges class schedules. He also serves as Head Football Coach and helps instruct boy's P. E. The school secretary, Mrs. Alma Williams, is respected and loved by both students and faculty. Always willing to assist with a ready smile, Mrs. Williams is one of the finest points of Lexington. ALVIS, BARBARA B.S.; Vocational Home Economics Sponsor: GSO, FHA BAILEY, WILLIE MAE B. S. , M.

Tears for a school which the seniors are leaving, laughter for the ac complishment of now finishing an education that will launch them into an adult world. Seniors under the guidance of (Left to Right) Donald Thigpen, Pres.; Joan King, Vice-Pres.; Kay Holden, Sec.; Donnie Belew, Testator; Connie Hammond, Prophet; and Sandra Fields, Poet, enjoy their last year of sock-hops, proms, and studies; but now they must go forth to a new world. As the spotlight fades off the 1968 Seniors, new faces come forward, the seniors of tomorrow. The 1968 Seniors are gone but not forgotten.

GRADUATION AND FAREWELLS As graduation draws near and farewells are said, We think back over the good times we've had. We remember times when we discouragingly said, We'll never pull through these days of dread. But looking back over good times and sad, We realize that school wasn’t so bad. It's now time to bid our friends adieu And hope our friendships we can renew. Now we leave this ole school And face a life that is so new. Our goals are set and on we march With a place for LHS in our hearts.

The Library Club is composed of student assistants who perform a vital service to faculty and students. This year aides were given credit for their efforts in helping improve and maintain the library in a neat and orderly fashion. They attempted to stimulate and create greater in- terest among students regarding use of books and library materials. President: Sandra Malone, Vice- res.

The Automotive Club under the guidance of Mr. Milton Shelton, and Mr. Hankins, helps fulfill the interest students have in mechanics. Boys are given an opportunity to help restore anti- quated automobiles by doing motor work, brake work, and general body work. This provides an ex- cellent chance for some to even learn to repair their own automobiles. Mr. Hankins is caught in one of his rare moments in the shop assisting Lawton with the tiller. The L Club is the school organization for recognition of boys who receive a school letter for participation in one of the major sports. While the major work of this club is to im- prove athletics and promote school spirit, one of the special projects this year was the promotion of the faculty-student basketball garpe.

THE GREAT BEYOND Starring, Sharon Hodges and Lee Hammond The newest organization on our campus gives students who are interested in dramatics, a chance to display their tal- ents. This year a series of skits, and two one-act plays were presented for the enjoyment of the student body. With the funds from these enterprises, the club helped sponsor a girl to Girls State.

Outstanding Bandsman 1967 DWIGHT TAYS The sounds of music that came from the 1967-68 band were indeed better than ever before, as the band scored an excellent rating at State Contest. Sporting new uni- forms and equipment the band marched at football games, performed precision drills, and marched in parades to the tunes of Down Town, Bill Bailey, and many others. Under the direction of Harold Cooper, this organization has grown in size and in relation to the music they play. Selling candy, tickets and Stanley products, the band earned enough money for a trip to Memphis to march in the Cotton Carnival parade, but to their disappoint- ment this parade was postponed. Outstanding Bandsman 1968 LINDA HAYES A rummage sale, auction and spaghetti sup per were among the many activities of this organization. The annual band banquet was a success, as band members and their dates had enter- tainment and a delicious meal prepared by the mothers. The band had two concerts and cut a stereo album entitled, THE BIG BEAR SOUND. BAND COUNCIL: Front Row, L to R: Faust, Vice-Pres. Thompson, Pres. Hayes, Sec. Howard, and Lee.

That Extra Touch Adding that extra touch to the band, are the 1967-68 Lexington majorettes, who were selected on the basis of their twirling and strutting abilities. In order to learn new techniques, the girls attended the Pasty Majorette Camp at MTSU and received side coaching from die head majorette, Patricia Mancuso. Stepping high and proud, these girls consider it an honor to march with the L. H. S. Band. KNEELING: Patricia Mancuso, Joan Shelton. STANDING: Patsy Butler, Judith Thig- pen, Myra White.

NHS Provides Honor Roll Grades Eight Through Twelve As time draws closer the tension rises. I wonder if I made it? , is the question in the minds of many Juniors and Seniors. It's induction time for the National Honor Society. The theme for the induction was Great Americans . It centered around four great Americans, portraying their characteristics of leadership, character, service, and scholarship. A tea in the library for new members and their parents followed the induction service. A Christmas party and a spring picnic were among the recreational activities of the club. This year for the first time the NHS furnished an honor roll for grades Eight through Twelve.

Accompanying the foot- ball and basketball teams to various games, these girls encouraged the boys to play their best, and urged the fans to yell for the team. Each girl took an active part in the cheering and even when the scores were low, their morale re - • mained undaunted. Adding a touch of glamor to sports, the cheerleaders were a big part in all the games.

Even though these boys had a prob- lem of reaching their desirable goals, the zest and willingness that is prominent in good sports was present in our team. The line-up of the Lexington's football coaches may not be as exciting as the game but it helps stimulate high- spirit, confidence, and courageousness seeing Thacker, Thomas, and McMeans, our coaches, out there cheer- ing the boys on.
