THANKSGIVING AT SCHOOL gives a new twist to an old holiday for Miss Rhonda Batch's kindergarten class. This sort of break is always a welcome event for students of every age. ASKING A QUESTION about her work, third grader Brandy Hamilton seeks Mrs. Georgia Cole’s assis- tance. In the lower elementary grades, teachers are greatly depended on for guidance. ALWAYS TAKING NOTES, juniors Sandra Killen and Paula Thigpen work under the watchful eye of English teacher Mrs. Marilyn Dean. Using notes for reference is a much depended-on study necessity.

Making It A p; c A6 cc o« School had to fit in. Whether it was a wanted annex or not, everyone had to appropriate a large amount of time for the demands of his education. This is where student life comes in—or the ab- sence thereof. Some people always found time to do the things they really wanted to do, regardless of how much time should have been spent on their studies. On the other end of the pencil, some people worked diligently for hours on homework and studying while they forsook the call of recreation. Exactly what made up the activities of students’ day-to-day routine is the subject of MAKING IT A PIECE OF YOUR LIFE. Also, remember when class pictures were made? Yes, you remember the ones that came back resembling mug shots from the police station. Oh, how sure you were when you had your second-try-remakes made that this time your eyes wouldn’t be closed or your smile wouldn’t be absent. In any case, all those pictures of the student body are here also, fittingly alongside student life. 10 Making It a P»c« A Your Uf«

All Work? Are You Kidding? Kindergarten was a new experience not only for the students, but for the teachers, as well. Although Rhonda Balch had taught at a private day-care center be- fore, both she and Sharon Weigart were recent graduates from the University of North Alabama and were new to teaching. Both are also Lexington alumnae. With these two teachers leading them, kindergarten students did more than just prepare for first grade; they had fun while learning. Activities included presenting a Hallow- een program to the rest of the elementary and the P.T.O. in October, making pilgrim hats and Indian bonnets to dress up for a special feast of fruits and vegetables at Thanksgiving, and collecting things for To fs for Tots in December. Students saw a play in Phil Campbell and made books and baked ornaments for their parents for Christmas. The class also won the spirit stick at pep rallies several times and tried to cook at least once a week. KINDERGARTEN FAVORITES: (front) Kam Walk- er; (back) Laura Hayes, Holly Belew, Emily Hale.
