And sorry 1 could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth . . . Frost Lexington School - Lexington, Alabama Volume 27 Co-Editors - Kathy Cox Faye Springer Bus. Mgr. - Morris Williams i Memories - Fleeting Glimpses of Yesterday When I think of yesterday, I think of my years at LHS, where everything began and ended. Life was carefree and gay as 1 skipped through those days of youth, or indulged in a pensive moment. It was here I began my long journey, and where the achievement of 12 years was accomplished. From here I would emerge into an impending future. My mind wanders back to the good times all too short and gone now. Sometimes we were sad and in need of comfort; most of the time we were lighthearted and gay. I sat awed and transfixed as I watched our feature twirler practice her routine. It looked so easy when she did it. 1 wondered how 1 could ever attain that skill. There was new reality for me each day; seeing friends, talking and studying with them (sometimes we studied). Sometimes I found a quiet moment to sit and reflect on life, or pause and touch my reflection. Most of the time I was in constant mo- tion, running, hurrying, looking neither to the right nor left as I went from class to class. Participation in sports gave me a sense of belonging. Even cheering the team on left an emotional impact on me. 5 Pep rallies turned me on. and for a brief moment 1 felt a part of the whole, as I demonstrated vitality and exhilaration. One of the greatest events of the year was preparing for homecoming, participating as a group, building floats, or envying the Queen as she sat regally .on her throne. There was always emotion and excite- ment watching the band perform. 1 learned coopera- tion as well as competition by participating in P. E. groups. 6 . • ■� i ' - 7 I learned respect for authority the day I tried to put glue in the girl's hair. I remember those groovy times we had at the local Dairy Dip, the gathering place after games and other school events. Through field trips and collecting relics 1 learned something about former civili- zations which inhabited our valley. Knowledge was imparted to me and I was guided to loftier ideals by my in- structors. My cultural insight was en- riched by the use of audio-visual equip- ment. 9 Page 11 Happenings Page 37 Athletics Page 59 Organizations Page 83 Administration Page 89 Classes Page 121 Seniors Page 141 Community 10 H A P P £ H I n c s HAPPENINGS - A kaleidoscope of events ... the social flurry of a banquet or prom . . . apprehension and ex- citement of a play . . . aspiration for an upcoming honor . . . the in things and latest fads portrayed during the Spring Festival . . . moods and patterns of changing life . . . festivities surrounding homecoming ... the small things that make dull routine exciting.

The Senior c lass selects two girls to serve as candidates; one to be elected by popular vote as Queen; the other to serve as Runner-Up. Our 19G‘J Homecoming Queen was lovely JUDY COX, whose friendly disposition and pleasing personality made her a favorite of the entire student body. % 13 Golden Bears Defeated by Golden Bears. Weeks of feverish activity preceed homecoming each year. Ex- citement reaches its peak with the election of representatives from grades 7-11, and the selection of the Queen. With this in the background, the main event now is the planning and build- ing of class floats, and the spirited competition of trying to win first prize. The Senior Class, taking its cue from Camelot, de- signed not only a beautiful float for the queen, but also one with a winning theme. This year clubs were permitted to enter floats with a plaque awarded the winning float. The JSO protest wagon captured this honor. Excitement ran rampant as the Junior Class won the Spirit Cup, and the 6th Grade won the Spirit Stick. The week's activities reached their climax at the ballgame, which was won by the Golden Bears of Hazlewood. The Sophomore Class got out the old pot intending to boil the Hazlewood Bears.

WAYNE BAILEY - DAVID GLOVER Dedication of the Flame of Freedom Viewed by LHS Representatives Girls' State was held on the gracious campus of Huntington College where our representative, Kathy Walker, reports she had a fabulous time. The food was great, the friends gained were many, and the opportunities unlimited. Besides enjoying classes on government and campaigning for various offices, they put into practice the ideas learned. The highlight for them came when Governor and Mrs. Brewer held a reception in their honor at the governor's mansion. Kathy felt everyone who attended was made a better person, and she only wishes every high school girl had the same privilege. Marion Institute was the setting for Boys' State 1969 where our repre- sentatives spent an enlightning week. Since this is the campus of the Military Academy, our boys gained some insight into various aspects of military life, arising early to do calisthenics, having daily room checks, and marching military fashion all over the campus. One day was spent at the capitol where the boys observed and put into action the ideas on government they had learned in class. They were privi- leged to hear the Governor speak, and observe as he dedicated the Eternal Flame of Freedom. From all reports the food was great, last- ing friendships were formed, and enjoyment was had by all. 16 KATHY WALKER GARRY BURBANK - RANDY RODEN FFA - FHA Personalities Named Top personalities, in both the Future Farmers of America, and the Future Homemakers of America are named each year.

The 1969 football campaign got off to a good start as the mighty Bears rolled over Waterloo for a victory. However, after the loss in the second game the spirit of the team began to waver as injuries and defeats b gan to strike. Throughout the rest of the season the team did not play at full strength as several had re- signed. Homecoming is always a big event of the season. All the players really wanted to win, but defeat came again at the hands of the Hazelwood Golden Bears, who were ranked eighth in the state. Although the team ended up with a 1-9 record, valuable experience was gained by the rookies on the team and good fellowship enjoyed by everyone. 38 Constant Injuries and Resignations ROW 1, SEATED: Gray, Hanson, McGuire, Mobley.

Of course, the fact that they played against the same opponent all sea- son may have had something to do with their record; but njorale was at a high peak among the members of this team, and considering the valuable experience gained they made a fine showing in the athletic department. 42 Coach Coker whispers the secret of his team's success to Jim Balch. Added Attraction Aids Athletics KNEELING: Brendlyn Springer, Sharon Hammond. STANDING: Karen Bailey, Sandra Burbank. Janie Roberson. Vickie Putman. Sharon Karen An added attraction to boost the morale of the Junior High Athletic Department is this group of Junior High Cheer- leaders. Elected by popular vote of the student body to serve during the football and basketball season, these girls worked very hard learning cheers, precision drills, and try- ing to keep the spirit of the team at a peak. Traveling to the off campus games, they encouraged the student body 's support of the team. Sandra Vickie Brendlyn 43 Scorekeeper Glover, Davis, McGee, Davis, Beadle, Cox, Michael, Fre Mgr.

Five straight wins brought everyone's spirit to a peak. This good spirit prevailed and in January the team captured the County championship. The mighty Bears rolled up more wins and prepared for the highlight of the season, the Area Tournament. A tense atmosphere lay over the campus the week of the game as the Bears prepared to meet their arch rival, Central, in the tournament. The Bears were nosed out by Central, but when all assets were added up, everyone agreed this team attained its place in the hall of fame of great Golden Bear teams. Ricky Allen and James Bulls led the team in scoring, while Danny Springer and Rex White grabbed the most rebounds, and Wayne Bailey provided leadership and set the example of good sportsman- ship.

Morale was at a fevered pitch after winning the first three games in a row, however, the fourth game brought defeat, and then the spring rains set in, ham- pering practice and the scheduling of games. Wayne Bailey led the team in hitting with a .480 average. Pitching was supplied by Randy Tate, Gary Michael, and Rex White. Wayne, and Randy were chosen to serve on the East-West All Star Team. This was a rebuilding year for the Bears, and fans who followed the team's progress predicted a great team next year. Balch tagged out at home plate.

Most Valuable Player Awards are given by the Lion’s Club to two boys, one for basketball and one for football, on the basis of their high moral character, good sportsmanship, and good academic record. The Don Michael Athletic Award is presented at gradua- tion to a boy who has an outstanding record in the Athletic depart- ment. Some of our students also receive recognition by serving on the All County Team.

As most people need a little push to be- come active spectators, the job of a cheerleader is obvious. It is they who must be envoys to generate an atmosphere of excitement. Without fail, at each game, this loud energet- ic group of cheerleaders were there to back up the team. So let some of the credit the Bears achieved go to Mrs. White and her girls.

(Mike is sure this sets some sort of record). Most of the boys own, or are building their own model plane with which they compete among themselves, and also enter competition with other clubs. 67 FTA Donates Tape Recorder to Guidance Office SEATED, ROW 1: Brenda Peck, Donna Richardson, Kathy Walker, Connie Copeland, Patti Williams, Regina Ham- mond, Ann Balch, BACK ROW; Teddy Davis, John Sewell.

A most impressive and informative assembly was presented by the boys dealing with the problem of drugs, the County Sheriff and a local minister also participated in this program. Other activities by the club included a hay ride, bowl- ing, and presenting the teachers with an appreciation tea during National Education Week. One of the highlights this year was the Valentine Dance sponsored by this group and the selection of the Queen of Hearts. Polly Davis was chosen as the Queen this year.

BAND DIRECTOR Mike Sloan Despite the fact that the band had four different directors during the year, some measure of suc- cess was achieved. During football season intri- cate patterns were executed to the strains of such melodys as Exodus, Military Escort, and Tara's Theme. The new innovation to the band was the wind ensemble, properly called The All New Golden Bear Marching Band. This group of mu- sical elite supplied much of the music for the Spring Festival. The Spring Concert was a suc- cess highlighting such numbers as, Light Calvery, Bones Trombones, and selections from the Broad- way Hit HAIR. At the Concert, one of the high- est awards in the state, the W. L. Miller Band Honor Medal, was presented to Mike Nix, and Rick Waldrop.

A � H f H I S T a A T I 0 N The 1970 Bearer Staff would like to pay special tribute to Mrs. Marjorie Belew, our teacher and friend, who left us to accept a job with industry. She holds a special place in our hearts, as many of us were privileged to sit at her feet and glean knowledge. She has contributed much to our school during her sixteen years of work, and has left a lasting impression for good upon all who have come in contact with her. Many students have been guided to higher ideals by her encouragement and guidance. For the inspiration, knowledge, and guidance she has given, we humbly dedicate this portion of our book to her. 1970 BEARER STAFF 83 Administration Versatile Our Administration as represented by our Principal, Asst.

The year began in bewilderment and confusion for us. Being divided into three sections and changing classes six times a day, only added to the confusion. At first we were timid, but as the year progressed, we learned the routine and soon some of us were spending time in the principal's office, or experi- encing the board of education. Although new to the halls of high school, we soon learned to keep pace with upperclassmen.

We learned to participate in all phases of high school activity. Demonstrating our eagerness to belong and be a part, three of our number were elected to represent our Junior Ball Team as cheerleaders. Among our clan can be found scholars, clowns, pixies, and apes, and some who would even get into scrapes, but by working together as a group we were able to earn third plase in homecoming float competition. This spirit proved we are a class to watch for outstanding results. The climax of the year came for us as we made a trip to Huntsville where we spent an enjoyable day tour- ing the Marshall Space Flight Center, and the new Jet Airport.

The Consensus of opinion is, we made a wise choice. Tommy and Steve have been active in all phases of the athletic program and are favorites not only of our own classmates, but the entire student body. Christi and Barbara are also held in high esteem by the faculty and student body alike. 109 Most Beautiful - Most Handsome CHRISTI STOVALL STEVE LITTRELL Freshmen Supplement Literature Studies Outstanding qualities were portrayed by many in our class as dominant personalities emerged. We were introduced to English Literature by studying Romeo and Juliet. To help us further understand this classic story, our class went to see the new movie version. As the future class of 73, we foretell and foresee great things in store for us, doctors, lawyers, musi- cians, and lots more. As Freshmen we began our first year of high school well prepared and ready to accept any trial. We were an ambitious and athletic group and we made our presence on campus known by our varied achieve- ments. Steve Littrell, was chosen as a member of the All-County Basketball Team; also, three from our class served as Junior Cheerleaders.

Harold and Ricky are very popular with the student body, and active in sports. Both are members of the Varsity B Basketball Team, and participate in other athletic activities. Connie and Cindy, though recent arrivals to our campus, have developed a following among our classmates. 113 MOST BEAUTIFUL - MOST HANDSOME Cindy Gray - Ricky Corum Outstanding Athletic Ability President, Harold Cox; Vice-President, Belinda Roberson-, and Secretary, Cindy Gray, display their talent for shop work. We have always been a group well noted for our athletic ability, as several among our number have already made great marks in sports. Gary Michael has been selected two years in a row to serve on the All County Basketball Team, and we are all very proud of the ability shown by Danny Springer on the Varsity A Team. Although sports predominate, they do not take all our time as we do find time for some classwork. As a group we visited Ivy Green to supplement our study of the life of Helen Keller. Also, we took time to tour the Allen Thornton Trade School, as many of us were interested in attending next year. To highlight our year we held our class picnic at Wheeler Park where we had a gleeful time trying to glue our softball back together.

While waiting in the shadow of the Class of 70, we made impressive records in varsity sports, and academic honors. Therefore we expect to leave a lasting mark on the school next year when we bloom forth in our own glory. We have tasted enough of the sweetness of victory to make us eager to strive to be one of the most outstanding graduating groups. We have proven we have lots of vitality by winning 2nd place in the float competition and the first annual Spirit Cup award. We cooperated as a group, selling candy and having a chicken stew to raise money for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom.

STANDING: David Glover. Secretary; Wayne Bailey. Reporter; Mike Nix, Testator; l.arry Jenkins. President. To most of us 1970 and graduation seemed an eternity away, but smash, here we arc the graduating class at the beginning of a new decade. We found it hard to believe we were now on top for a short while, as the activities began to surround us. There were many firsts for us: the first annual Senior Fall Pronv, a new method of teaching English (sound of abstraction - music and poetry); the first powder-puff football game. Our class was unique in many ways. As Juniors we had won first place in homecoming float competition, as Seniors we again captured this honor, making it two years in a row. In checking the records, we discovered that matrimony was the predomin- ant event, as ten of our class were married by the time graduation rolled around. Also, we were the first class in eight years to graduate in June. Although long, overnight trips were ruled out by the Board of Education this ear, we did manage to sneak in a trip to Six Flags Over Georgia before school was out. As our project this Near, we purchased a Markee for the school. To raise funds for our activities, we held a candy drive, sold sandwiches at the teachers meeting, and conducted a chicken stew. 122 Our Senior year, 1970, left us with many events and activities to remember.

We often disagreed, grumbled, and above all Disobeyed the rules which we then thought were made to break. But now when the time comes to really look back and see That our yesterdays determined our todays And that our todays will determine our tomorrows We wish we could do some of it over Yet not wishing to go through those twelve years again. Our thanks go out to our principal, teachers, cooks, janitors, and bus drivers Each of whom we could not have done without. When we were in need they were all there with their individual help. With our gratitude of thanks we leave you LHS Knowing that you will do for many more What you have done for us.
