THE BEARER LEXINGTON SCHOOL — LEXINGTON, ALABAMA Volume 35 Emerging from the darkness the sun is on its way. Bringing forth its light marking my first school day. The day is very young as you can see. But each beginning is like that, as it was meant to be. EDITOR Regina Davis BUSINESS MANAGER Julia Michael PHOTOGRAPHER Gary Smifh 3 5 Recalling the smiles and laughter, that although sometimes hidden in the deepness of our depressions, could always be brought to surface with a little persuasion. At times we wondered: is it really worth it? But looking back on what seemed like endless hours of practicing, working, and studying, we realize that these things are what helped to mold us into the individuals that we are. 8 9 Our days and nights were encircled in a constant panorama of ballgames, parties, and club projects. Each of us chose our own form of self-expression. For some of us if was music; for of hers, afhlefics or arf. For some, if was simply spending a few quief momenfs wifh a good book. BEARER staff assumes additional responsibilities with new sponsor 12 1977-78 BEARER Staff Greg McCain Mrs. Thigpen David Burbank Tammey Rippey Rickie Putman Table of Contenfs Opening ...........................1-14 Personalities.....................15-32 Organizations.....................33-66 Sports...........................67-100 Faculty.........................101-114 Seniors......................115-146 Classes.........................149-178 Activities...................179-194 Advertisements...............195-224 Whether we were actively involved in school activities, or whether we chose to participate by simply being a silent observer, we were all a part of it.

Next, against Wilson we had a near disas- ter, barely winning 20-18. Then we traveled to Pulaski and played at our best, defeating the physically bigger team 14- 13. Homecoming vs. Waynesboro was next, resulting in a 33-0 victory. Then we defeated Hatton for the first time in a long while. Next came West Morgan and we pulled out a 12-7 victory. Then we beat Colbert Heights 6-0, despite their brutal defense. We then traveled to Loretto and defeated the third Tennessee team of the year. Then came Rogersville. our biggest rival. The Bears played well, but lost 14-13. in a game marred by a disputable call. The Bears finished one of their greatest years ever by defeating T. M. Rogers 12-0. CAPTAINS: Rickie Putman.

The young Bears really showed their potential in, for some, their first taste of varsity football action. They played teams that were exceedingly larger, but they played like true Bears and came out victors every game. They defeated Lawrenceburg and Pulaski, two Tennessee teams that were both physically larger. They also played two pre-season scrimmages with Loretto and Pulaski and faired well. This team gives our avid Bear fans something to think about in the future. Hammond and Hall lead Waddell downficld against Lawrenceburg. Front: Lemay. Glover. Truitt. Hester. Richardson. Hill. Hall.

They began the season with a win against Town Creek, then beat Hatton 45-0 and Leighton 28-0. stomped rival Rogersville 54-0. won over Courtland 42-6. was given a forfeit against Hatton 2-0. and slaughtered Green Wave 54-0 in division play. They were then invited to the Rocket Bowl in Gardendale where they soundly whipped the host team 64-0. At the Pop Warner Bowl in Law'renceburg. the previously unde- feated Vols suffered 39-0 at the hands of the mighty Bear Pee- Wees. They earned four trophies this year: 1st place in eastern division, Tri-County Championship, and the two bowl champi- onships. These Pee-Wee players should prove to be invaluable assets on future varsity teams. PeeWees prepare to kick off. Front: Collier. Smith. Lamb, Jones. Bergin. Mashburn. Row 2: Sharp. Toner. Putman.

They were often called a scrappy, hustling team that would really get after it.” Although the tallest Bears were only 6'1 . the determination and winning attitude made up the differ- ence. Some highlights for the team were defeating Rogersville twice by one point. Rogersville had defeated the Bears earlier, but we had our sweet revenge. Also defeating Hatton ranked high in the state and defeating 3A powerhouse Russellville by one point at Lexington highlighted the year. The seniors showed good leadership for the team. Seniors were Gary Smith. Kenneth Shelton. Mickey Thompson. Gary Holden, and Keith McGuire. Returning are Jeff Bryan and Rickie Putman (juniors) and Greg McCain (sophomore).

The mighty Bears beat Rogers by one point 48-47. in a well-played ballgame. They also defeated Mars Hill. This team was composed mainly of juniors and sophomores, who will be counted on in the future to help the varsity A-team. Truitt. King. Noles. Best. Shelton. Crunk. Simpson. Livcrett. Barnett.

For many it signals the end of our high school career. For many it is the beginning. We hope the 1978 BEARER will recapture all or at least some of the memories you've had this school year. We would like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Thigpen for all the help she has given us as our new advisor. We would also like to thank Mrs. Johnson for her help, Danny Mitchell for his photography, Mr. Porter for writ- ing our poems, and everyone else who has helped us put together this annual. 194 Bear Boosiers 195 .XPRESfc Ricky Hanback (205)767-2700 1627 Darby Drive English Village Florence.
