Lexington High School - Bearer Yearbook (Lexington, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1972 volume:

THE BEARER Lexington School • Lexington, Alabama 2 3 Many changes took place during the year with the new dress code changing the entire fashion. School life also lengthened out as the club meetings were held after school. The students found time for the social hour. The couples managed to maintain their meetings in the hall, while Mr, White was busy in the supply room. Homecoming, however, was different from all other activities as the students missed class to work on floats. 5 6 7 9 Along with the play came the work. Research papers were a must and of course working in the dirt was always fun. All this drew to a close as seniors were measured for caps and gowns. 10 There always seems to be time for giving blood and presenting plays. The Spring Festival brought things to a close as the school year dwindled away. 12 Spring arrived and so did the ex- hausting exercises. However, when it was all over and you looked back into an empty classroom, all the hard work and clowning around seemed worthwhile. 3 Table of Contents Features.............................................Page 15 Athletics...............................................Page 41 Organizations .......................................Page 61 Academics...............................................Page 85 Seniors.................................................Page 97 Classes.................................................Page 119 Advertisements..........................................Page 151 FEATURES Homecoming Court 1971 SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES Regina Hammond Ricky Ritter SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVES Melanie Wimpee Randy Pettus JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES Barbara Springer Phil Nix FRESHMAN REPRESENTATIVES Shelia Hayes Phillip Collier FLOWER GIRL: Donna Michael CROWN BEARER: Denny Ritter EIGHTH GRADE REPRESENTATIVES Jenny White SEVENTH GRADE REPRESENTATIVES Rhonda Collier Jimmy Springer 16 The election of Homecoming Queen is one of the most important elections on campus. The Senior Class selects two candidates to run for the title of Queen, but unfor- tunately only one can win. This year’s Homecoming Queen was the radiant Reginia Mewboum whose warm smile and sparkling eyes stimulates everyone she meets. Regenia Mewbourn Selected as Homecoming Queen Jimmy White served as escort for the Queen. Reginia receives cup from Alumni President Bobby Lyons. 17 Chiefs Succeed in High School classes compete in the float competition, with the Queen's float being built by the Senior Class.

Harold Cox, Connie Copeland. Danny Springer, and Jimmy White. Connie Copeland represented our school at Girls’ State, which was held on the campus of Huntington College. Al- though the week was hectic, she enjoyed it thoroughly. In addition to the many lectures and speeches about state gov- ernment, the week included much recreation. Connie decided after much debate, that she enjoyed the good food and the opportunity of meeting new friends best of all. Representatives to Boys' State, held on the campus of Troy State University, were Jimmy White, Danny Springer, Ricky Corum, and Harold Cox. Our representatives had to rise and shine at 5:30 every morning for military marches. They viewed many films, attended assemblies, and visited the State Capitol. Like Connie, they attended many lec- tures and speeches about state government. The boys decided the best parts were the good food, sports, meeting new people, and above all the water battles.

The 1972 Spring Festival was one of the most colorful festivals of them all. With the theme Young at Heart the festival offered two hours of wonderful entertainment. There were eleven acts and a beautiful court consisting of thirty- four members. All the back-breaking work by the faculty and student body was worthwhile, and at the end everyone was very pleased with the results.

Gradu- ates Regenia Mewbourn and Harold Gray received this award. HAROLD GRAY REGENIA MEWBOURN DAR Citizenship Award Jerry Hill Memorial Award One girl with outstanding qual- ifications of dependability, ser- vice, leadership, and patriotism was selected from the Senior Class to represent the school.

Hold fast that moment. 40 41 SPORTS Gallant Group of Gridmen 1st ROW, L to R: Collins, Newton, Gray, Thigpen, McAfee, Jones, McCafferty, Dean, Littrell, McGuire. 2nd ROW: Taylor, Lash, Hale, McCrary, Ridinger, Tays, Hanson, Butler, Holden, Davis, Hill, Thigpen, Carriveau. 3rd ROW: Gray, Cox, Biyan, Williams, Michael, Butler, Slaton. The Golden Bears started the year with a win against Waterloo. They defeated the Stripes with a score of 6 to 0. However, the hopes of a great season were destroyed by the next few games, but skill did build within, with the use of a new seven man sled. Because of this, student body spirit climbed to new heights. The Bears won a game by means of profit against Hazelwood, which astonished the entire school. The teams showed great potential toward the climax of the season by playing an extremely good game against the highly rated Brooks Lions. All this made for a promising future in Bear football.

Ells, Balentine, Coach McMeans. The Baby Bears proved to have gained some ex- perience from last year's encounters. They have im- proved on tackling and carrying the ball. Some of this credit, however, should go to their new coach. Coach McMeans has done a good job with the boys this season and they brought their record up to five wins and three losses, and one tie.

Great dribbling and shooting ability was shown in every member on the team. All this ability together with the leadership of Coach Coker showed forth in every game. The Bears however, failed to win the County Tournament. They defeated Mars Hill, but were put out by T. M. Rogers. They managed to make up for this in the Area Tourna- ment. Bo gets the tip-off! RICKY CORUM GARY MICHAEL Roger and Jim attempt to block jump-shot! ROGER FREEMAN JIM BALCH BOBBY HOWARD DANNY SPRINGER 46 Caper to State Tourney The great stretch for two. They downed Cherokee, Colbert Heights, and Danville to make their bid in the District Tournament. The bid turned out to be a good one with a score of 71 to 62 which opened the way to the State 2A Tourn- ament. Even though they were defeated by J. F. Shields in the first game, their opponent went on to win the State Crown. All this made for a great team of which the student body is very proud to back. Gary makes unsuccessful try for rebound. mike mcguire BO HOWARD GLEN MURKS MARK BUTLER 47 Bears End Season With 21-7 Record Mr. Green concentrates on the game while Diane records another score.

This spark of energy was maintained during the next few games. The team ended up with a favorable record of 8 wins and 6 losses. Gary Micheal and Jim Balch made the team for the East-West All-Star Game. Gary Micheal was chosen as an All-Star in the East-West All- Star Game. Gary also made history against Hatton by striking out 20 out of 23 batters. The baseball team owes much of its success to Coach Thomas who will be leaving at the end of this school year. This will be a great loss to the school, the community, and the coaching staff. 57 Coach Thomas calls time-out for conference on the mound.

Ad sales reached an all-time high with a record-breaking figure resulting from the staff's efforts. Evidence of artistic ingenuity was displayed by our newly obtained artist. The conference room served as a meeting place for the members as daily classes ran into continuous hours of typing, identifying pictures, writing copy, proofreading, and just sheer chaos! Rhonda and Rick have the tough job of numbering pictures. 62 Regina serves as typist for the annual staff. Barbara and Christie work on layouts for the 1972 BEARER. Demanding Responsibility Patti and Debra add finishing touches to the BEARER. Jason performing one of his many duties as photographer. The group worked hard in more ways than one. Meeting deadlines proved to be a time-consuming job. Several members made a trip to a journalism clinic in Nashville, Tennes- see. This trip helped the staff by bring- ing them up-to-date on yearbook pro- duction. With the help of former sponsor, Mrs. Betty Johnson, the staff managed to meet its deadlines and successfully assemble our yearbook. 63 The annual staff publicizes their spring annual sales, FHA Sponsors Campus Clean-up 1st ROW: Murks, Michael, Thompson, Pettus, Bailey, Williams, Brown, McKelvey, Newton, Mewbourn, Wimpee. 2nd ROW: McGee, King, Hum, Moody, Newton, Patterson, McCain, Robertson, Faust, Gray, Allen, Crittenden, Scott, Brumley, Springer, 3rd ROW: McGraw, Thomas, Stovall, Childers, Collier, Griffin, Cates, Sharp, Walker, Wells, Hammond, Thigpen, Wright, Taylor, White. 4th ROW: Mrs. White, Ridinger, Springer, Romine, Thigpen, Michael, Shelton, Cox, Butler, Phillips, Danley, Putman, White, Mosley, Thompson, Copeland, Thigpen. 1st ROW: Newton, Tate, Thigpen, Cottles, McGee, Stevenson, Carriveau, Davis, Hayes, Vines, Holden, Davis, Robertson, Shook, Davis, Belew, Hammond, Danley. 2nd ROW: Gist, Thigpen, Jenkins, Thornton, Paxton, Thompson, Liverett, Bailey, Barringer, Cottles, Thigpen, Clemmons, Thigpen, Johnson, Barnett, Bradley. 3rd ROW: Mrs. Hankins, Balch, Nix, Burbank, Howard, Scott, Gray, Winecoff, Oliver, Glover, Williams, Bailey, Wright, Killen, McKelvey, Trousdale, McGuire, French, Phillips, White. 4th ROW: White, Watkins, Butler, Rossen, Hunt, King, Michael, McCafferty, Gray, Thompson, Michael, Newton, Clemmons, Shelton, McCain, Littrell. 64 FFA Takes First Place in Fair Exhibit 1st ROW: McCormick, Gray, Collier, Newton, Michael, Killen, Cottrell, Johnson, Faulkner, Pettus, Garner, Thigpen, Balch, Newton, McDougal, Eddy. 2nd ROW: Higginbotham, Manous, Balch, Etheridge, Newton, Cassel, Shelton, Hammond, McCafferty, Murks, White, McGuire.

To begin the year, they presented a play Honey of a Peach. The play was a great success and provided the club with needed funds. To continue with the club's traditions, a club car was entered in the Home- coming parade, the FTA honored our retired teachers with Christmas baskets, held a dinner meeting, and sold Valentine telegrams to supplement the treasury. The American Red Cross Bloodmobile was their main activity. It gave the members a feeling of satisfaction, knowing they have helped in some way.

Library Club Sponsors Appreciation Tea Along with their regular duties of maintaining the library, the Library Club sponsored an appreciation tea for the Key Club. This tea was to thank the Key Club for furnishing the library with new chairs. The club kept the library running smoothly by putting books and maga- zines in order at their monthly meetings.

A genuine interest has prevailed in the Archaeology Club. They have held a remarkable record of having the same officers since the time of existence. They have been on several field excursions in search for relics, along with all their other projects. They held their traditional exhibit which displayed many different relics plus an interesting collection of arrowheads. All this proved that members were planning their future by digging into the past. President, Harold Cox; Secretary, Darrell Glover. 74 Jr. Archaeology Presents Exhibit Under the leadership of their new sponsor, Mr. Brannon, the Junior Archaeology Club combined efforts with the Art Club to present an exhibit. They showed some of the Indian relics and arrowheads which they had collected. They also took several field trips.

Induction ceremony this year was very effective and meaningful. The talent show in early April proved to be a worthwhile project for the club. In the fall, the club held a stationery sale to replenish much needed funds. Also, three representatives attended the state con- vention in Birmingham. The annual Christmas banquet was held at the Branding Iron in Loretto and an almost 100°]o attendance was recorded.

They entered a car in the Homecoming parade which won second place in its division. They also presented a Veteran's Day Program and American Heritage Program to the student body. As a service to the community, the Student Council co-sponsored the Red Cross Bloodmobile. They furnished gravel for the front parking lot, a much needed improvement.

Under the direction of Mr. Victor Gray, new to Lex- ington music staff this year, the bands grew and flourished. The forty-six member concert band entertained the student body and community with contemporary as well as tra- ditional numbers at the annual concerts. The spirited marching band, although six other bands were present, was the only high school band to brave the downfall and march in the Christmas Parade. This band also traveled to Troy State University to a marching con- test on the TSU campus where they came away with a good rating. 80 L to R: Wright, White, Lash, McAfee. to Dampen LHS Spirit DARRELL GLOVER - Drum Major. 1st ROW, L to R: Pettus, Thigpen, White. 2nd ROW, L to R: McCain, Waldrop, McGee.

The happiness and prosperity of Lauderdale County depends greatly on the proper education of its youth. Our County Board strives constantly to improve the education of Lauderdale County students to prepare them for future life. It is a very busy organization with the interest of the Lauderdale County Schools at heart. The system consists of seven high schools, three junior high schools, three elemen- tary schools, and one vocational school. RAYMOND McMEANS Assistant Principal O. W. WHITE Principal ALMA WILLIAMS Secretary Office Work Becomes More Hectic Due to the increase of record keeping, computer cards, paper work and disciplinary problems, office work has become more hectic. Our principal, Mr. White, takes time to help students realize and develop their potential, and uses his guidance and influence with the student body. In addition to his duties as assistant principal, Mr. McMeans also assumes the responsibility of teaching a health class. Mrs. Williams looks upon the students with understanding for their pro- blems while continuing with her duties as secretary. Science and Math Prepare for Tomorrow The metric system is soon to be used in our nation, and our classes are preparing for this future change. Filmstrips, field trips, an atomic energy program, posters and projects have helped our Science classes prepare for tomorrow. The Math department strives to establish a broad education in the field of mathematics. LESLIE, ANNIE B.

The Home Economics department has greatly improved the appearance of our school by sponsoring a clean-up day, making curtains for the restroom in the gym, refinishing cabinets in the kitchen, and pur- chasing furniture for the living room. The Agriculture department has been able to con- tinue with good success with the greenhouse, and they have done work on cars to prepare theboys for future jobs. Vocational training for business is supplies un- limited opportunities for students planning a career in business. The Guidance Counselor, Mrs. White, has carried out her responsibilities to students and parents. She helps students in every way possible to prepare them- selves for future life. Social Studies Promotes Good Citizenship The main goal of the Social Studies department is to produce responsible, civic-minded citizens. To achieve this the course gives a basic background of the histories and governments of different countries. These are studied and compared to our own country's history and government with the aid of filmstrips. Discussions in the classrooms are long and heated, and work to reach research paper deadlines is an uphill climb. The overhead projector is very useful in history.

Through facets of communication, the student learns the necessity of understanding what is read and heard, and the impact of these facets. Good English instruction is the basis for the future.

Being divided into three smaller groups enables each teacher to specialize in one or two par- ticular subjects, and gives students a chance to change classes more often. The gym provides a release of pent- up emotions and excess energy. This year there are three Senior girls who serve as P. E. aids to each group. Michelle learns the proper combin- ation of blends.

Their project of air-conditioning the lunchroom was financed by such things as a candy sale. The powder puff football game which was won by the Seniors also helped raise much needed funds. It was played at night with the players dressed out in pads. The social year for Seniors was high- lighted by a Fall Formal. The traditions of Skip Day and Slouch Day were carried out. A trip to Six Flags was barely slipped in. The classroom studies were made meaningful by the viewing of many movies. The first annual Privilege Day was won by the Seniors. They chose the Juniors to serve them. Many members of the class found marriage to be the answer. Due to illness one of the members of the class was unable to attend graduation. His diploma was awarded in absentia. 98 Presented in Absentia A constant chatterer, bub- bling with life, never depressed. Athletic, speedy, a great teammate on the football field.

The Annual Staff would like to express appreciation to Waldrup Studio for Photographic coverage, to Taylor Publishing Company for allowing a later dead- line, to all teachers for their cooperation, to our patrons for their support and members of our community for allowing our staff to use their homes. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Dorothy White, our Advisor, for her guidance and advice. 174 1973 Editor, Barbara Springer 1973 Business Manager, Christi Stovall The year is over ... the book is finished ... and now the Staff can breathe a sigh of relief. This year's BEARER truly belongs to each member of the Staff, for many of them worked hours, often far into the bat-filled nights, to finish their sections. For their untiring work, we would like to thank Jason Hammond, Rhonda King, Rick Waldrop, and Regina Hammond. We want to wish Barbara and Christi success and good fortune in their endeavors to create an outstanding yearbook. As we look back over our three years in Annual Staff, we find it both sad and frighten- ing. Realizing that each of us will someday be leaving LHS to face all the unknown things that await us, we only hope this book can in some way bring back some of the memories of our high school days. Patti Williams, Editor Debra White, Business Manager 175 And in parting leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. 176
