-0 0- ry sfy Looking Forward To Looking Back Volume 43 The Never-ending Quest ■p hough it sometimes seems a stu- == dent eats, sleeps and breathes ac- cording to school rules and regulations, life also exists on the “outside.” Socializ- ing manages to work its way into busy schedules, and having a good time is a never-ending quest. After school and on weekends, students can be found congre- gating throughout Lexington, Florence, and other surrounding areas. Some of the most common places are the General Store, the tennis courts. Pizza Hut, and the strip in Florence. Occasionally, an excitement outlet can be found in school activities. Pep ral- lies, ballgames, parties, and dances all provide a bit of variety and a change in routine. 2 Opening TAKING IN their surroundings. Matt Fulmer and Sara Wilson ride in the Homecoming parade.

While they hold signs to boost spirit, Rhonda Waddell hands over the spirit stick. ometimes being a medium-sized county school causes problems. Being in the race with city schools often leaves county schools with the short end of the stick. Students in the city schools have access to different courses. Foreign Exchange Programs, a better variety of sports, a larger club selection, and more advanced computer courses, just to name a few. But everyone has to deal with problems his own way. One way to deal with the system is to play by the rules, thus finding that it pays off. Wait- ing patiently got the school some new rooms with a beautiful gym to boot. The town being in such a remote area can cause temporary discontentment for newcomers. With approximately 75% of all students going to school together from the first grade to the graduating class, everyone knows everyone else in the school and a closeness is bound to weave its way among the classmates. This bond was really created by parents who went to school together in the sur- rounding areas of Lauderdale County. Most schools have some likenesses and some differences, but each is unique in its own way. Lexington School thrives very much on “tradition.” Students strive to be the best in all areas from academics to athletics, not emphasizing one segment more than another. To have a winning program at every- thing attempted by the students is the BEST reason no one is reluctant to be LOOKING FORWARD TO LOOKING BACK. Opening 5 PREPARING FOR THE NEXT DEADLINE. Missy Lee. editor of the yearbook staff, rummages through paperwork to find an envelope to put her completed layouts in.

NEARING THE COMPLETION of his evalua- tion of his subject. Higher Math. Mr. Thaddeus Green works quickly but carefully. Getting It Done U7 aking up was the biggest challenge L—- of the day for some students. To others, it was the beginning of a long day. Many students and many faculty members who were involved in extra- curricular activities worked vigorously on what they knew had to be done. All teachers had to complete an evalu- ation of their subject area, which is re- quired every ten years. Many students and faculty members spent several “free” hours to finish what they had be- gun, such as yearbook deadlines, ball practice, band practice, conference with parents or county officials; and at the same time, they had to keep up with their school work or, in the case of the faculty, paper work. To sum it all up, The main thing is to get it done!” com- mented Chuck Stevens. 6 Student Life LOOKING THROUGH PAPER WORK which he has to sign keeps Mr. Alan Trimm, Assistant principal, busy. LOOKING THROUGH THE CARD CATALOG, Sonia Corum finds an interesting book to report on for history class. Reports and research papers were a major part of the students’ school work. EXAMINING THE FRESHMAN FLOAT, which placed fifth, Tammy Thigpen and Jennifer Gulley recall the many long hours they spent con- structing it. FINISHING THEIR WOODWORKING PRO- JECT, Tony Ritter and Danny Porter make the necessary adjustments to the drill press. Dress You Up! he alarm clock sounds. Rolling over to turn it off. Madonna blasts into listening ears singing, “Dress You Up. The alarm clock was set for some particular reason and this song somehow fits. Knowing this is summer and school is not in session you say to yourself, “I must be crazy!” Then realizing school begins in a week, clothes are a necessity for the school scene. Pulling out some of the old clothes from last fall and wonder- ing what the new styles will be, your cropped shirt suddenly seems out of date. Arriving at the mall in your new Iroc- Z you find a parking place and begin your shopping. “This looks like a good place to start. Look on the rack to my left. There is the most beautiful high col- lared blouse 1 have ever seen. I’m going to get it, but I need a pair of pants to go with it. Let's see now, should I get a pair of blue-jeans or some baggy dress pants? I think I’ll just settle for a pair of cool stirrup pants. That’s one purchase, now to move on to another store. That plaid skirt and blouse look really nice, but I think I’ll go for something less dressy. This striped sweater is gorgeous. I’ve got to have it. 60 DOLLARS! Oops, back on the shelf with you. Those jeans hanging in the junior section are just what I need. They have little paisleys inserted in the knee. Oh, and look at the blouse that matches. The jeans arc 45 dollars and are the name brand GUESS, and the blouse is nearly 30 dollars. I really do want them so I’ll come back later and buy my accessories. My jazz shoes and herringbone chain will do nicely for now. I can wear Mom’s lengthy gold earrings and ...” WE VE GOT STYLE! Stacy Parker and William Lee show that checks arc in for both boys and girls. Danny Pike and Donald Collier display that the oxford is still a comfortable item to wear, while Carla McConnell and Angie McGregor prove that the skirt and pants arc still on the top of the line. 8 Fashion ENJOYING THEIR CONVERSATION, Shane Lee and Jaime Snider go for ihe dressier look. Their accessories consist of the evcr-so-popular colored panty hose and hat. THE SPORTY LOOK is a new demand as proven by Kristi Dyar and Dconne Hill who show the high-collared blouse is the tops, while Darren Richardson shows plaids arc good casual wear. Ja- son Logston, Sherry Cox, and Heath Hollis model that sweaters arc still a relaxing wear and can be worn for all occasions. Fashion 9 No Damper IjTtj] eing held one week prior to the ac- itfSJ tual homecoming festivities put no damper on the participants or spectators of Peewee Homecoming. Spirits rose as did the helium balloons they used to decorate many of the cars and floats. Peewee, Midget, and Mini-Midget cheerleaders led the crowd that came to watch Lexington prevail over Brooks, three games to one. Using a new method of electing, the Peewee football players elected the queen while the Peewee cheerleaders chose her escort. A boy and a girl were chosen from each grade to make up the queen’s court. The flower girl and the ring bearer were chosen in a similar fashion. The Peewee Homecoming Queen was crowned during the ceremonies Satur- day night. She began her reign the fol- lowing week with a parade. 10 Peewee Homecoming TAKING HER FIRST ROYAL RIDE.

THE HOMECOMING COURT of 1985-86: Freshmen Tara Birdyshaw and escort Ronnie Woodard; Juniors Karen McCain and escort, Lee Snead; Homecoming Queen Suzie Jcffress and es- cort Keith Cottrell; crown bearer Jason Waddell and flower girl Julie Balcntine; Seniors Terry Da- vis and escort Ronnie Newton; and Sophomores Melissa Mason and escort Marty Gray. s students sat in the stands and watched the Homecoming court lining up on the other end of the field, and the floats slowly making their way around the fence, they wondered if it was worth all the work and the effort. Night after night they stayed at their class floats stuffing pomp after endless pomp into what usually cages chickens. But why? Why did Juniors perch on a ladder eating a candy bar after a long volleyball practice stuffing a palm tree, while they could be home relaxing in the Lazy Boy? The answer to this question was easily answered by all who were asked, but in different ways. Some who were not ac- tive in sports or other organizations found an opportunity to be a vital part in an effort to win, others just wanted to beat upperclassmen, while most wanted the companionship only classmates and friends share. Even some Moms and Dads stayed at their children’s floats into the night and helped finish the work. Everyone listened as Mark Collier an- nounced the results of the float competi- tion: Seniors won 1st, Juniors 2nd, 7th grade 3rd, Sophomores 4th, Freshmen 5th, and the 8th grade came in 6th in the continuing saga. The Homecoming Queen then made her way across the field with her court. After the game, students went to the dance sponsored by the cheerleaders. Homccominf 13 Get A Glimpse Cp he wind blowing and the flickering Isl of candles could be seen dancing in the night. Then to many pairs of eyes came a huge blaze of fire. Crowds of people gathered around this rare occur- rence. It had all started in the old gym. Peo- ple participating in this unusual event brought flashlights or candles. Students quickly lined up to see which class would win the spirit stick for having the most lights. Candles were lit and then the gym lights were turned off; everyone filed out toward the practice field led by the band. While everyone watched with startled glances, a few brave people raced toward the bonfire holding tiger posters and tossed them into the blaze. The band played and cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers and then it was over. The people 14 Homecoming WAITING FOR THE NEXT FLOAT to appear, the crowd watches with anticipation. ENJOYING ALL THE ATTENTION they are receiving, first grade favorites Gary Givens and Alisha Hollandsworth ride in the parade. left and the fire slowly died out. Sirens blaring, music sounding, and people cheering for the floats put the pa- rade in full force. Mayor W.O. Killen led the parade driving the Lexington Police Car. Students lined the streets peering over others’ heads to get a glimpse of the spirited event. Almost everyone who had worked on a float came to see how the masterpiece had turned out. Some students had stayed up until late hours the previous night in order to fin- ish their class float. Shaping the chicken wire and then stuffing it were only two of many efforts to complete the float. Another way students showed their school spirit was by dressing up during the week for days such as “Pride Day” and “Jersey Day.” To most students, Homecoming ’85 was a success. s PROVING THAT GIRLS just want to have fun.

Wearing the Purple Looking back on sports, we find as a tradition,” fans never failed their teams nor did the teams fail the fans. Being 1st Runner-up in the 3-A divi- sion for the State Championship, the vol- leyball team gave all they had for their school, themselves, and their fans. Although not making the playoffs, the football team had little to be ashamed of. One of the big rivals, Lauderdale Coun- ty, gave the team a chance to prove to themselves that “you never win by giving up.” Trailing the Tigers 12-0 entering the fourth quarter, the Bears scored on their next two possessions to win the game 15-12. These photographs do not represent all the teams in school, but they are prime examples of the pride one takes wearing the purple. IN AN AREA TOURNAMENT game. Kristi Plunkett serves the volleyball. “A Dream Come True” Thurston East Setting out to make thousands of stu- dents. approximately 20 coaches, and the whole Lauderdale County School System happy, the Board of Education granted Lexington and three other schools in Lauderdale County new gyms. This was the largest building pro- ject in the history of Lauderdale County. The main floor had 18,253 square feet. The balcony contained 8,013 square feet. Both the main floor and balcony were equipped with bleachers. The foundations were set in March of 1985, which caused much student antici- pation. Day after day, students watched the workmen as they cleared land, laid blocks, and climbed scaffolds. When school was out for the summer, most students saw the skeleton frame- work and thought it would never be com- pleted for the upcoming season. As the summer proceeded, students toured the area just to see what had been done. Then in July came the greatest shock: the metal beams stood majestical- ly over the whole school. By August 19, the first day of school, the gym had taken shape. The outside looked almost finished, but the inside was still a vast area. On November 17, still with the finish- ing touches needed and the floor still damp with varnish, the gym was dedi- cated to the school and community for multiple purposes. Dignitaries and the student body helped celebrate the mo- ment. The varsity band played, while the varsity basketball players sang the “Alma Mater.” To help make the gym more unique from the rest, minor changes were made. Some of the changes included reverse paint in the center court circle, a kitch- enette in the Lady Bear room, a Bear mural left by the senior class, and floor coverings which were donated by various merchants. The Lauderdale County Board of Education invested 3.2 million dollars in the project which was funded by a school warrant issue to be paid back by local property taxes. Lexington High graduate and board member, Thurston East summed up the dedication speech by stating, “This is a dream come true. 18 Nc� Gym WITHIN EIGHT MONTHS, ihc before and after shots of the gym show immense changes.

And Fight They Did With five returning seniors, the Lady Bears volleyball team worked their way through another winning season. Most of the games lost by the Lady Bears were lost to higher division schools. “ I was really proud of the effort shown by the players; they showed pride and the look of winners. When the game looked like it could never be won, they kept on fighting,” stated Coach Connie McGuire. After all the regular season games were completed they proved they were the best volleyball team in Lauderdale County by winning the thirteenth of the fifteen tournaments that have been held since 1971. In the semi-finals, the Lady Bears beat Wilson in two winning sets, 15-0 and 15-9. This win pulled them into the finals with Lauderdale County High, who had just barely outlasted Central with matches of 13-15, 16-14, and 15-4. The finals were awarded to the Bears as they outscored Lauderdale County 15-4 and 15-9. The Lady Bears led the All- County list with five team members. They were Tina McGuire, Susan Stead- man, Paula Thigpen, Kristi Plunkett, and Jeanie Balentine. The Lady Bears also claimed the Area Championship with Tina McGuire, Su- san Steadman, and Kristi Plunkett mak- ing the All-Area team. The Lady Bears finally went to state which was held at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. There they fought and made it to the finals. Playing St. Paul, they lost the matches 16-14, 14-16, and 14-16. This made them state runners-up for the second year in a row. All-State members were Tina McGuire, Susan Steadman, and Jeanie Balentine. IN RETURNING POSITION, Susan Steadman gets prepared to send back the volleyball after it is hit by an opposing team player.

Bears Qualify For Sub- State Preparations for the 1985-1986 bas- ketball season began as soon as football season had ended. The players practiced three or four times weekly to improve their skills. Pretty soon, the Lexington Golden Bears began their season. They first played West Limestone in a very close game. West Limestone came through and defeated the Bears 85-84. They won their next two games soundly defeating Clements and Rogersville. Their next game was against Brooks, who defeated the Bears 86-67. They beat Wilson and then lost to Muscle Shoals and Bradshaw. They went on to soundly beat Mars Hill. Next, they played Cle- ments again, but were defeated by one point. Their next three games they de- feated Rogers, Cherokee, and Rogers once again. They lost the Times Daily Classic to Colbert County by a score of 62-47. They next beat Rogersville once again and lost to Wilson. They won the next game against Cherokee. The Bears played in the county tour- nament against Rogersville in a very close game. The game went to the final seconds and Rogersville was victorious by a score of 52-51. After the tourna- ment, the Bears lost four consecutive games to West Limestone, Central, Sheffield, and Coffee. Then, the Bears once again defeated Mars Hill and lost to Brooks. The Bears next competed in the area tournament. They first beat Cherokee by a score of 64-59. However, they lost to West Limestone in the next game by a score of 78-68. They qualified for sub-state where they were trounced by top-ranked Tanner 88-57. The Bears ended the season with a record of 11-15.

Ending the season with a record of 15-10, the Lady Bears claimed wins over area teams such as Brooks and Mars Hill. In the tourna- ments, they won one county and one area game. Stating that it was “the best season ever,” Coach Connie McGuire said that she was very happy with the winning year, and was extremely proud that the hard work of training and the long hours of practice paid off.

Even though competition wasn’t as rough, and fewer games were played, the accom- plishments made by these students were great experiences for the future,” com- mented Coach Kenny Koss. Suffering from a two-year losing streak, the boys team came into the sea- son in hopes of a winning record. Unfor- tunately, the team ended another year with a losing record of 3-11. However, the girls team celebrated another winning season with a 10-4 re- cord. The girls advanced one game in the County Tournament before losing to Wilson in the semi-finals. “I was really proud of the efforts put out by these girls. They made things happen,” stated Coach J.T. Weeks. 32 Basketball WITH THE UPPER EDGE, Tara Birdyshaw reaches for the ball. Tara led the Junior Lady Bears in scoring with fourteen points as Lexington defeated L.C.H.S. 35-22.

A Life Event “Cross country is one of the few sports a student can continue participating in throughout life,” commented Coach Wayne Bailey. The Lexington Cross Country team took part in meets from Birmingham, Athens, Huntsville, and Tupelo, Mississippi. To train for these events, each member ran in the morning before school started. They started out running two miles and slowly worked up to six miles a day. State was held in Bir- mingham for IA, 2A, and 3A competi- tors. Austin Newton placed 8th and Danny Fike placed 9th. They both made the All-State team.

Tennis 37 Throwing A Curve at Attitudes The softball team threw a curve in the attitudes of their fans after the first few games. Kicking off the season with 5 straigh losses, the team came back with a winning streak. Coach Fulmer and Mr. Wright found that a little running helped the team, “more than a little.” The team had to run laps for every mental mistake and fielding error their teammates made. No longer would students criticize and con- demn the team, instead they would com- mend them for a job well done.

Opening with a win against Rogers, the Lexington baseball team started their season in the early spring. The Bears then lost against Loretto and Cen- tral, before going on a seven-game win- ning streak to make their record 8-2. After winning two more games, the Bears began play in the area tourna- ment. During the first round they were defeated by West Limestone. They then defeated Rogers in the losers bracket of the tournament before being put out by Cherokee. At the season’s end the Bears lost to Coffee in the opening round of the Coun- ty Tournament. They ended the year with all-8 record.

Boys Track 4? Winning Seasons An average Thursday to most elemen- tary students probably consisted of an hour of cartoons, supper, a short bit of homework, and then another hour of television. This was not true for the sev- enty-five students who were involved in the Peewee Football Association. While most students were at home watching “The Cosby Show,” these three teams met at the baseball parks to engage in a two-hour practice. The main goal for these boys is to play varsity football. For the most part, the whole purpose of the Peewee Association is to introduce younger athletes to the ideals of sportsmanship, team spirit, and unity. The four teams all finished with winning records. ESCAPING from a defender, Chris Weeks runs toward the end zone in hopes of a touchdow n. Lex- ington defeated Rogers in the game.

The Midget A team cheerleaders show how it’s done. Waiting in the Shadows Standing on the sideline, the B-team players watch their teammates play, knowing that they have worked and practiced as hard as the other players, and hoping that next year they will be playing instead of standing in the shad- ows. Only having played four games, the B- team schedule was plagued by bad weather. Though winning all four games, the season ended in disappoint- ment. The rest of the year was spent cheering on the varsity, hoping to get a chance to play. The 1985 Golden Bears had a chal- lenge to meet. The '85 season was the Bears' rebuilding season and ended with many exciting moments. Even though the Bears weren’t fa- vored as contenders in the area race, the players were determined to better the 1984 record.

Fooit'jll $1 Preparing for the Task Ahead Bears versus: Ardmore—In the opening game the Bear defense stiffled Ardmore, only al- lowing ninety yards total offense. Lead- ing the defensive effort, Alan Hill grabbed an interception and a fumble recovery to win the first game of the sea- son. Wilson—Penalties plagued both squads with thirteen fumbles and 143 yards in penalites; the first half was scoreless. Even though the Golden Bear offense scored first, Wilson rallied to hand the Golden Bears their first loss of the sea- son. Elkmont—Led by senior quarterback Terry Johnston, the Bears offense powered over the Red Devils improving their record to 2-1. West Limestone—Playing the first area game, sophomore Eric Thigpen gained 108 yards rushing to insure the LHS 15 Ardmore 7 LHS 9 Wilson 14 LHS 29 Elkmont 6 LHS 36 West Limestone 10 LHS 33 Hazel Green 20 LHS 15 LCHS 12 LHS 0 Rogers 6 LHS 35 Red Bay 0 LHS 3 Cherokee 16 LHS 27 Clements 0 RECORD: 7-3 TOTAL POINTS LHS 202 OPPONENTS 93 AVERAGE GAME LHS 20.2 POINTS SCORED- OPPONENTS 9.3 36-12 victory over West Limestone. Hazel Green—Traveling to Hazel Green proved to be a most exciting trip. The Golden Bears slew the Trojans to raise the record to 4-1. LCHS—A late fourth quarter rally handed the LCHS Tigers an upsetting loss. Scoring on the last two possessions, Paul Carlock threw a 34 yard pass to Alan Hill. Alan stated, “This was the biggest rivalry of the season. We lost to them in overtime the last time we played them. This year we earned the bragging rights.” T.M. Rogers—The Golden Bears traveled to Rogers to play in what would be known as the biggest game of the week. Dominated by a bitter defensive battle, the Pirates gave the Golden Bears its second loss. Red Bay—Domination was the key word in the Homecoming game against Red Bay. The Bears controlled the game from the outset by scoring three early touchdowns. The Homecoming win gave the Golden Bears a refresher and upped their record to 6-2. Cherokee—Trying for a spot in the playoffs, the Cherokee Indians' 11-3 vic- tory over Lexington was a disappointing loss and knocked the Bears out of a spot in the playoffs. Clements—The hardest game of the season was played at Clements. It was not the most difficult in the sense of physical strength, but it was the seniors’ last game. Soothing the pain of not mak- ing the playoffs, the 27-0 victory was satisfying. The last score in the game was made by Tim Glass, a lineman who played the entire year on the offensive and defensive line. LHS FOOTBALL TEAM (sitting) Mgrs.

Pulling together, the Junior High and Varsity cheerleaders took part in many activities. They both could be seen show- ing their support and enthusiasm for school sports at pep rallies and other spirited events. As one, they created and formed spirit in the entire student body. For Homecoming, they held a pep rally at night in front of a bonfire. This has been a really exciting year. We couldn’t have been successful this cheering sea- son if we had acted as individuals. We pulled together and made things hap- pen,” stated Melissa Hill. The Jr. High cheerleaders took part in Jr. Girls and Jr. Boys basketball and B- Team football. The Varsity cheerleaders supported all Varsity events. GET UP FOR THE BEARS'. The Varsity cheer- leaders work together to form a successful pyramid that shows their support for the team.

Running around in diapers, acting like a bum, and hang- ing sheets around their necks were just a few ways the cheerleaders of ’86 could be found. Under the in- struction of Connie McGuire, they organized class competitions to be held at pep rallies before every game. They showed thier support and en- thusiasm for football, volleyball, and basketball alike. When one stepped into the gym, banners could be seen covering all four walls containing spirited lettering. After school prac- tices and special cheerleading camps were just another part of their hard work. Lori Newton commented, “The highlight of being a cheerleader is when I can help get the players fired up for the upcoming game.” “PEP IT UP!” cheerleader Melissa Hill with outstretched arms tries to get the crowd to cheer for the upcoming game. “LOOK AT HIM GO!” LHS cheerleaders watch the game from the sideline. 56 Cheerleaders ALL RIGHT.

Kenny Killcn and Tim Glass spend a night at their favorite hangout, the General Store. Within the next few pages are the peo- ple that set the scene. Before students start to school, they are practically on their own, doing their own thing. This period of time before school is called SUMMER. The “in thing for the elementary stu- dents starting their vacation would be to play a sport such as baseball, softball, or to start practicing for football. Other students would just have fun playing in the water with their friends, playing cup- ball after a big game at the park, or just sitting around talking to friends. Finding the action was sometimes the high point of the night for the high school. There were such activities as cruising the Florence strip, sitting at El- gin or the General Store parking lot, and going over to a friend’s house and watch- ing VCR movies. All knew it would end too soon. But really that’s o.k., because soon everyone was ready to get back in touch with fellow classmates. On the first day of August the old feeling began to take hold. Time to hit the school books and throw down the swimsuits as the door of summer vacation was closing. AMAZED AT THE DETAIL of the corn husk dolls. Alan Hill and J.W.

Half of the seniors were reading books which were due in less than a week, and the other half were doing term papers. Many were involved in basketball, three games a week, as well as practices day and night. After much discussion the officers de- cided on the theme “For Just A Mo- ment,” taken from the love theme of the movie St. Elmo's Fire. Saturday morning, December 7, at 8:00 the seniors decorated the lunch- room with hints of Christmas. The deco- rators laid the final holly bush branches along the tables at 4:00, then left for shome to dress for the occasion. Entering the transformed room, most found the work rewarding. The candle- light danced around the table as prom goers waited patiently for the D.J. to ar- rive. Upon the arrival of Freddy Killen from Universal Sound, the class started the program. Kevin Hanback, president, welcomed everyone: Alan Hill, vice- president, recognized special guests; Missy Lee and Terry Davis led the Alma Mater; then Amy Brown received many laughs as she revealed the prophecy. After the speeches, Senior Bearer staff members presented a slide show featuring 12 years with the class and fac- ulty. With most of the evening over, Lucre- tia Wilson announced the leadout, which consisted of the officers and Who’s Who. The class partied together until ap- proximately 9:00, then couple by couple they left to go their separate ways, thus ending their last senior prom together as a class. AFTER HEARING HIS PROPHECY.

Little did you know all the other new little visitors felt the same mixture of excitement and ner- vousness growing in them. As the years passed, closeness seemed to develop be- tween each other. School activities and pastimes were shared by all. The final year of school life finally came. So many things took up time. The last Homecoming where the senior class float won 1st place with the theme “Bear Invasion” and those last minute meet- ings that were held to discuss plans for the Senior Prom (that was to be held the next night) have now all become a part of the past. The steps taken to be handed a diplo- ma were well worth it to most. School was finally at an end and all those once frightened little children have now moved out to the real world. For some, memories will live on and they will take their next step up on the hill. HOLD STILL OR YOU MIGHT GET STUCK!!

It was an election among the sen- ior class to see who the favorites of the class were. Only 38 members of the class voted and turned in ballots. Having a well-rounded personality was one of the qualites considered when students chose BEST ALL AROUND. Alan Hill and Jeannie Balentine re- ceived this honor. Always pulling a prank or hearing people laugh to the top of their lungs were signals that the two WITTIEST people were close at hand. These two people were Sandra Killen and Keith Gulley. At the ballgames one could have found Lori Newton cheering faithfully along the sideline as she had done for eleven years. Barry Burney was also there to give the team his support. It was obvious they had the MOST SCHOOL SPIRIT. Having participated in all the varsity sports available and having starting po- sitions in these sports were good qualifi- cations for the MOST ATHLETIC, Tina McGuire and Kevin Hanback. Always a smile and a word to cheer everyone were two qualities of Stacey Parker and Ronnie Newton. They pos- sessed the BEST PERSONALITY. Two people one could call upon and could be assured they would help were MOST DEPENDABLE, Mark Collier and Ronda Newton. Usually before a(test everyone needed a word of wisdom. One would try to find the MOST INTELLIGENT students in the class. Crista McGee and Marty Mosley. Two people in the class that everyone wanted to look like were the MOST BEAUTIFUL AND MOST HAND- SOME. Chosen for these honors were Suzie Jeffress and Keith Cottrell. 76 Who . Who Who's Who 77 Always surrounded by plenty of friends were those MOST POPULAR. Terry Davis and Mickey Weigart were a couple that will most likely always be in a crowd of friends. Having a level head on one’s shoul- ders and a driving force behind it are two qualities one needs to be MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED. Pennie White and Barry Corum are sure to make it to the top. Wearing the latest fashions or al- ways looking their best were the NEA- TEST girl and boy of the class, Amy Brown and Paul Kirby. Good manners, a smile, or a word of encouragement describe the MOST POLITE, Beverly Gibson and Austin Newton. Pennic White Boy Girl State What is Girl’s or Boy’s State? The answer is quite simply student govern- ment activity. It is annually held on var- ious Alabama college campuses. It is sponsored by the American Legion. Pennie White learned that Girl’s State was a program designed to educate young women in American citizenship and provides the opportunity for them to participate in government activities. Boys State was held at the University of South Alabama in Mobile in June. Girl’s State was held at Huntingdon in Montgomery in June. Kevin Hanback 78 Boy Girl Suic Ronnie Newton Amy Brown and Keith Gulley Golden Girl and Golden Boy Adding another prestigious social honor to the school’s list were Golden Boy and Golden Girl. Students from the Senior Class submitted applica- tions and then several faculty mem- bers voted for ambassadors for the school. Their duties included being present at teacher conferences and showing visitors around the campus, such as the yearly visit of students from Anderson School. When asked about being chosen for Golden Girl, Amy Brown stated, “It’s not only being an ambassador that I like, but it’s being the first person to be chosen.” Keith Gulley replied, Mrs. Jones influenced me and told me 1 had a good chance of being chosen. I’m glad 1 applied. It really is an honor. Mark Collier attended Boy’s State and also received the DAR Citi- zenship Award. Gokkn Girl and Boy 79 L.H.S.

It be- gan as officers were elected by se- cret ballot. The officers, once elected, then went about their du- ties and worked toward getting things set up for the upcoming building of the Homecoming float. The float built was entitled “Lov- ing Every Minute Of It” and it re- ceived second place in competition. The selling of doughnuts raised the sufficient funds needed for this project. The float was not the only thing money was needed for. The Juniors had to carry on the tradi- tion of sponsoring the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Stationery and cards were used as products to raise money for this event. Vice-President Larry Nunley commented, “This year would not have been successful without the help of the class as a whole.” Other events on the class calendar included the Alabama High School Exit Exam and the touring of the Allen Thornton Vo- cational Trade School.

The float entitled “Bears Get First Blood” received fourth place. Many students participated in class competitions which were held during pep rallies. During Baby Blue Day” the class won the spirit stick for having the most students dressed as babies. At the beginning of the new school year, the class gained eleven new stu- dents, most transferring from Anderson Junior High School. This increase boost- ed the enrollment to over 100 students. The highlights of the year to many of the students were receiving driver's li- cense, ordering class rings, and not hav- ing to take a history course.

Being a freshman marked the first year of being in high school. This year was the first time that the students re- ceived credit for the classes they were taking. Many students began working towards their academic diploma. In or- der to receive it, the students were re- quired to take more difficult classes.

Among these projects was the eighth grade class float. To raise money for their float, the students had a car wash and bake sale. Many people went from door to door advertising, selling, and asking for donations. Also during the school year, the class went on a field trip to the University of North Alabama's planetarium. At the planetarium, the class watched a pro- gram about Halley’s Comet, which is visible about every seventy-five years.

Many students were involved in orga- nizations which required many after- school practices. Seventh graders also voted for class officers, student council representatives, most handsome and most beautiful, and best all around. They were also able to purchase a locker. During homecoming week members of the class met and built a third place float. Being a seventh grader also provided bad times such as being called a “little” seventh grader; having to run down the halls between classes in order not to be late; and being pushed around by the older students. When asked what was the worst thing about being a seventh grader, Susan Ford replied, Having five more years to go!” SAYING HIS LINES, Jamie Phillips portrays Abe Lincoln as Jennifer Holden stands wailing for her time to speak to the elementary students who watched the play.

Seventh Grade 101 No Experience Needed WORKING HARD, Jennifer Jaggcrs tries to fin- ish her cornhusk doll. Thanksgiving took on a new meaning this year for sixth graders. Dried corn shucks and silk were used to make dolls. They could make either a man, a woman or a child. Some students wanted to make two dolls. Most students agreed making the women were harder than making the men. Scott Norwood explained, “The women had to be turned upside down and the corn shucks for the skirt pinched together and then tied, tight.” Proud and excited about finishing, students like Anita English and Scott Norwood agreed they would keep their dolls for themselves. Anita commented later that making these dolls taught her ... “patience!” Mickey Allen Chris Ballew Colby Barnett Brian Bolen Elana Brown Todd Bullard Kimberly Cassel Beverly Chambers Randall Cox Tonya Crunk Brian Davis Paul Davis Jason Davis Timothy Davis Anita English Niki Fike Bobbie Fountain Teresa Fulks Tara Garner Tori Goode 102 Sixth Grade STUDENTS ARE ASSISTED by Mrs. Jean Kil- len in the process of making their cornhusk dolls.

Worldwide Experiences Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live somewhere out of the United States? Mary Yarbrough, a fourth grader, has lived in Africa and Puerto Rico. Mary first lived in Africa. She was very young and could not remember very much about the living conditions. She did recall one terrifying time when her brother was out picking bananas and was almost bitten by a spider (Tarantu- la). Puerto Rico, on the other hand, came more clearly to her mind. She really liked school, but at first the kids were leery of her. Her best friend spoke Eng- lish instead of Spanish, and helped her get better acquainted to the ways and customs. When asked what the major differ- ence was between Puerto Rico and the United States, Mary commented. “No snow at Christmas.” Annette Alexander Denny Allen Brian Balch Michael Balcntinc Tara Barnett Eric Brumley Christopher Burbank Jeffrey Burbank Mandy Cashion Amanda Cleveland Bobby Cole Gina Cole Henry Corum Bethany Cox Crystal Davis Chad Ellis Christopher Evans Grady Glover Keith Goar Corey Green Theresa Grosso Mary Hughes Dale Jones Mary Jones Fourth Grade 109 Exploring the Stars FOURTH GRADE FAVORITES: Joey McMurlry, Karla Williams, Alan Lash, and Jaime Snider. Reaching for the stars was exactly what the fourth graders did this past year as they went on an all day field trip. All the talk of Halley’s Comet motivated them greatly. They first visited the plan- etarium at the University of North Ala- bama. They then went to Wilson Park to eat their lunch. After lunch they visited the W.C. Handy Home in Florence. The best part of the day for Eric Brumley was “learning about the people who first saw Halley’s Comet and find- ing where the Seven Sisters were locat- ed.” The Seven Sisters are seven stars clustered in the sky. Many of the students preferred the W.C. Handy Home to the planetarium. Bethany Cox stated, “Looking at his cabin and a push-piano that sounded like a trumpet was better than peering into the heavens at the stars.” The lecture students most remem- bered was how Mr. Handy became King of the Blues. How did he become King? He wrote the song “St. Louis Blues ...” Paula King Jason Lard Alan Lash Jamie McCain Joey McMurtcy Josh Mewbourn Anthony Michael Tosha Michael Christopher Moses Jason Murks Dawne Newton Scotty Nix Jeremy Reding Randal Reding Jeremy Ritter Heather Robertson Chris Rosson Kristy Sharp Steve Simpson Timothy Smith 110 Fourth Grade Nikki Smithcrman Jaime Snider Brian Springer Anita Thigpen Serena Thornton Wesley Trousdale Shannon Weeks Andy Williams Brandi Williams Karla Williams Robert Wilson Mary Yarbrough FINGERS ARE HELPFUL as Gina Cole demon- strates while doing her math.

But have you ever seen or talked to a real life clown? Mrs. Fulmer’s class got the chance of Ending out how a clown lives. Clown Ken Thomas came and vis- ited the students and showed them the ropes involved in the “funny business.” The students made their own clown hair and collars out of construction paper, then made up their own funny face. After talking with the clown and see- ing some of his tricks, they each took turns and put on their own special show for the clown. This show consisted of tricks and skits made up by each student. Before the clown left, he distributed can- dy to the students and bid them farewell. “We got the idea for this fun filled day from a story we read about a little boy who wanted to become a clown. The stu- dents really seemed to enjoy them- selves,” stated Mrs. Fulmer. “1 found out that clowns have wives and children just like other adults,” commented Lor- rie Lash.

First Grade 123 School Made Fun One would think going to school would be the last thing on a kindergart- ner's mind, but the teachers have turned the tables and lured the children to school and actually made learning fun. Different teachers use different tac- tics, some of the kindergarten classes ate a meal on Friday’s that they were study- ing that particular week. The kindergar- ten classes as a whole took a community day and spent time with community merchants and also got to talk on the radio at WLX. Some teachers gave spe- Around Christmas the children made their own cookbooks and story books. In the story book the student would draw pictures to illustrate the writing, publish it, and also dedicate it to whomever they wished. In making the recipe book, the student would tell the teacher when asked for their favorite recipe what it was, how to prepare it, and how to cook it. An exert taken from the book reads as follows: Spaghetti by Chad Moriarity you let it cook for 15 minutes. Then you take it out of the oven. Then you put some sauce in it, just one, then some pep- per, just one drop of it. Then you put some salt in there just a little bit of pep- per in again and sauce and cook for 15 seconds. Then you take it out of the oven. Then you put some cookies in the spa- ghetti. Then put some salt in there. And that’s all of it. Taste good, my mama will like this recipe. Take out of the oven, put on the table. Then let it cool. Then start eating it.

Little Credit When a student has finished school, he usually gives all the credit to the teachers who taught him. Well, what about the people who prepared the food and drove him to and from school? These people get very little credit, but in a sense, they are very important peo- ple in their own respect. Eunice Shelton took on many respon- sibilities during the school year. Her day began at 6:45 a.m. with a bus route. Shortly after parking her bus, Eunice opened the “confection room. After serving the high school students with their snack, she shuffled to the lunch- room to punch tickets and take money. After two hours in the lunchroom, she reopened the confection room to serve the elementary students with a snack. When a day had nearly drawn to an end, Eunice once again loaded and de- livered several dozen students to their homes. When asked if putting in such a long day caused her to be irritable, Eunice replied, “No, not really. I enjoy being with the children.” Support Personnel 133 Filling the Empty Space When school wasn’t enough, clubs came to the rescue to fill the space. Not only were they a space filler, but they also gave students a sense of leadership and academic know-how. Various clubs also helped the community. One exam- ple of community involvement was the Student Action For Education blood drive for the Red Cross. Several students stood out in different clubs. One of the standouts was Todd Hess. Todd, a 4-H member, won an all- expense paid trip to Chicago for his skills in photography. The clubs were limited to one meeting a month, therefore “weeding out most of the “stragglers”. Each club was unique and had at least one main event that was noteworthy. WHILE LISTENING TO A STATE OFFICER for the Future Homemakers of America, the local officers wait for their induction.

Members participated in the regular meetings; plus, they worked on fund- raising projects such as the annual tast- ing tea and the Valentine's Day balloon sales. Though it was cut short by the weather, FHA Week did have its Public- ity Day on which all members wore spe- cial name tags. Special events included Color Day, a teacher appreciation brunch, and a Campus Clean-up project. 136 FHA NEW FHA MEMBERS RECEIVED a rose at the special officer induction ceremony at the be- ginning of the year.

Wheel of Business Playing Wheel of Fortune helped to spruce up the Future Business Leaders of America's annual Christmas Party. The party was organized to let members get more acquainted with one another. The officers for the F.B.L.A. were chosen by secret ballot before the first meeting. During the spring, the officers had a meeting and planned a trip to a success- ful business organization. GOING DOWN THE FOOD LINE, Gina Dean, Kristie Bates, Sandy Kirby, and Leslie Glass can- not decide what they want to get next. FBLA Inspection Time “We represent the school as a whole,” stated Beverly Gibson. She was speaking of the Student Council. The Student Council consisted of students selected from each homeroom chosen to speak out for their class. They all worked to- gether to help make the inspections dur- ing the fire drills and tornado drills. A few officers took part in the blood drive sponsored by the Student Action for Education. They brought a new project to the school. They had Jay Johnson from North Carolina to come and make special I.D. cards. Students could pur- chase their cards and get a special dis- count at selected businesses. “I think this is one of the best projects we have ever had. Students seemed to like this idea.

Competition started at the local level and continued as far as the national level. Such was the case when Todd Hess entered the Photography Re- cord Book Competition. Todd won at the state level and represented Alabama at the National 4-H Congress in Chicago, Illinois, during November. 4-H offered many opportunities for achievement outside the school. Mem- bers often gained valuable educational experience, won money and or trips, and had lots of fun while participating in var- ious projects. Participants enjoyed a worthwhile feeling of success with each completed project.

The num- ber of members in each club had been reduced due to disciplinary problems with larger groups and the shorter meet- ing times that are now required. Despite the number of members, 4-H Club projects have grown, and participa- tion was up last year. Many 4-Hers who competed in projects on the school level had the opportunity to advance to county competition. Several placed in the foods and clothing categories. Many Lexington 4-Hers have shown a new interest in the camps and workshops sponsored by 4-H. When they attend these functions, they have a chance to learn, experiment, enjoy recreational ac- tivities, and meet new people from dif- ferent places.

The books to be used are placed in their logi- cal order and the long class session gets under way. The first lesson on the agen- da is math. Instead of everyone else an- swering the questions, it is you who gets the honor of telling the solution. Let’s see now, 12x 12=144 and ... “Boy, I am glad that is over! I hope the rest of the lessons are this easy to solve.” The day speedily goes by and things just get better. Finally the bell rings and class is dismissed. “Thank goodness I have completed my day’s assignment! I’m really glad all of the members got a chance to fill in as a teacher. Now we all know some of the ups and downs educa- tors encounter each school day.” The SAE also held a blood drive and had a tea in appreciation of the school faculty.

Approximately 83 students from Lex- ington attend the vocational school for 450 hours of actual training during the course of a year. The students spend half of each day at the vocational school. Students take courses such as ma- chine shop, automobile body shop, cos- metology, data processing, welding, business office education, machine shop, health occupations, electronics, graphic arts, drafting, and masonery. The voca- tional school is known for its easy job placement and quality workers. AFTERNOON TRADE SCHOOL: (front row) Vivian Lovell.

Vocational School MS Brighter Prospects In any given large group of students, there are a certain few who always excel in academics. In very special recognition of these students, the National Honor Society was formed. To qualify for the NHS, one must be in the eleventh or twelfth grade, must have made a 90 or above average with- out ever having made an F on a semester grade, and must have taken either two higher maths or two higher sciences, and one of the other. In addition to these academic achievements, one must pos- sess character and leadership, and have been of service to the school or communi- ty- NHS inductions were on April 10 in the school auditorium, preceded by a candlelight ceremony. Following the in- duction of twelve new members, a recep- tion was held in the library for teachers, sponsors, parents, and NHS members. AFTER BEING INDUCTED INTO THE NHS, Rebecca Howard signs her name to the register. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: (Front Row) Tina Cartce, Chuck Stevens, Pennie White, Ronnie Newton, Paula Thigpen.

However, if one is academically inclined, he may think math, science, and history compe- titions quite strenuous. There are only a relatively few students who have the kind of strength and willpower it takes to be on the scholar team. These students are the ones who excel not only in aca- demics, but are well read and have sharp, quick minds. They take on special assignments such as reading an alma- nac, or spending hours working with a question-and-answer board. Scholar team members were chosen by teachers, and attended three meets. Traditionally, they have done very well in competition. HELPING HER TEAMMATE prepare for com- petition, Pennie White asks Marty Mosley some vocabulary questions.

Due to problems with class schedules and a lack of transportation, the staff soon decreased to only six members. For the First time in 10 years the staff was under the instruction of a new advisor. With the help of the three old members, the pace to putting together a yearbook was Finally set. Page assignments were issued and each member busily went to work. TRAGEDY STRUCK! The staff was once again cut in number. One of the new members had to transfer to an- other school. This meant rearrangement of pages and more work for the remain- ing members. The staff helped one an- other and things once again got under way. The year’s end finally arrived and the last deadline was completed. The stress felt by all was Finally alleviated when all pages were sent off in the mail. Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but soon would remember that “9-to-5” feeling would once again return. LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM, staff members Todd Hess and Brent Turpen try to help the advisor Amy Thigpen. BEFORE A LAYOUT CAN BE DRAWN, the pictures must be selected from the contact sheet.

Despite little experience, Lexington was repre- sented well, and placed first in titrations, second in topographical mapping, third in the periodic table, and third in metric estimations. When asked how she felt about the results of their hard work, Vir- ginia Hill, sponsor, said that she felt the group should be “commended for the outstanding job that they did.” EXPERIMENTING IN THE EGG DROP CATEGORY, Brian Fincher and Chuck Stevens release their project from the roof of the old gym.

After having learned the basics of taking their instrument apart and putting it back to- gether, and generally taking care of it, they learned their music well, and exhib- ited their talents in Christmas and spring concerts. Also, several participat- ed in solo and ensemble festivals. Under the direction of Mr. David Wiseman, Lexington’s future band will soon be ready to take the field. Elementary Band I SI Some Things Must Change The experience of adapting to change once again happened to the Lexington Purple Pride Marching Band. For the second year in a row, the band had an exchange of band directors. The sched- ules for practices and camps were slight- ly different from that of the past, but everyone seemed to adjust. During the hot days of band camp, everyone old and new, learned the fundamentals of play- ing and marching. With all the basic moves and tones learned, the half-time show began to fall in place. After the beginning of school, more band practices were held until the Friday night ball- game. It was finally time to perform and put the show on exhibit. As of the shows of the past, it was a hit. This enabled the band to go to contests held at Tuscumbia and Fayetteville. At these contests, the band received overall ratings of superior. After marching season, the band com- peted in a district concert band contest. Here, they received an excellent rating, but did not score high enough to make it to state contest. To sum up the 85-86 season, Brent Turpen commented, “I feel the band put forth a lot of effort this year. I feel next year will be even bet- ter.” UP AT THE VERY FRONT of the band.

After hours of decorating, the pre- vious night and also on the day of the leadout, the gym became the ideal set- ting for the event. After pictures were made and awards were given out, the Band Council led out for the first song and were then joined by everyone else on the dance floor. Music was provided by WZYFS “ROLLING THUNDER.

Band Leadout 15$ TWO NIGHTS OF BEAUTY Once again the Lexington Band Boost- ers held their annual spring beauty walk. This year instead of having the pageant all in one night it was divided according to grades. Thus, the beauty walk was held on Friday and Saturday. The beauty walk had approximately 130 participants, a decrease from the year before. Mr. David Wiseman, band director, crowned the winners. Each winner also received a trophy and a certificate. Before the walk began a group of mod- els from McKee’s Department Store put on a show for the audience. POSING for the judge's table, Carrie Slaton waits for the judges to make their decision.

After selling many boxes of doughnuts, the junior class raised enough money to award the senior class with the 1986 Ju- nior Senior Prom. The prom, with the theme “Forever”, was held April 11, 1986, at Ramada Inn, Sheffield. As couples arrived, most got pictures made and then found friends to talk with or just found company in their own date. The junior class officers presented the program. Sandra Killen’s “Last Will and Testament” received many laughs. Each senior was presented a class flower, and the class officers took part in the leadout. WHILE senior class members line up for the lea- dout, Melanie Brannon provides musical entertain- ment as Deena Ki er assists. AFTER the leadout, Patric Frost and his date, Laura Stacey find time for a slow dance. DURING senior recognition, Monica Howard pre- sents Paul Cox with a class flower. 158 Junior-Senior Prom After the coronation of Mr. and Miss LHS, couples danced to the music of “Rolling Thunder”.

Sports Picnic 161 First to Graduate in the New Gym AFTER THOSE YEARS of hard work, Johnny Lee puts on his mortarboard in preparation to take that final step. “Be in the library at 6:45,” requested Mrs. Dorothy White during graduation practice Thursday morning. Students, fac- ulty, and the administration had made sure everything was to run like clockwork. At approximately 6:30 most of the class was already in the library talking and remi- niscing with fellow students and friends. The class discussed past memories and new ones to come as many people were to head for Florida the next morning. The most exciting factors of graduation for the Senior class were to be graduating and also being the first to graduate in the new gymnasium. From the first day of school to the last day, the class was told to make their mark in society. One way the class left a reminder was by having a mural painted of a bear on the south end of the new gym. As soon as 7:25 struck on the library clock the class was lined in the hall of the main high school building to make their final walk together as a group. Coming out of the building the feet of the class were dampened by the rain earlier that day. The evening sunset lingered as the 77 made their way into the gym. Awards given at the ceremony were as follows: Babe Ruth Sportsmanship, Pennie White and Ronnie Newton; American Le- gion Citizenship, Mark Collier and Tina Cartee; Don Michael Award, Kevin Han- back; Jerry Hill Memorial, Marty Mosley; and DAR Citizenship, Mark Collier. The class then received their diplomas and were escorted outside by their Mar- shall, Karen McCain. Afterwards hugs were exchanged on the way to a reception given by Colonial Bank.

The old cliche “no news is good news sometimes had a very relevant meaning to all the people at different times throughout the world. It seemed that nothing the media had to offer was very encouraging. Disaster after disaster brought sorrow upon the world. From the nuclear melt-down in the Soviet Union to the terrorist bombing of the French Embassy, from off the shores of Cape Canaveral to Tripoli, Libya, the news was always diversified. The de- struction and loss of lives was a tragedy not soon to be forgotten. Some of the hardships and trials the world had to suffer did prove to be bene- ficial in the long run. The United States offered help to countries such as the So- viet Union and Mexico by providing medical assistance and clean-up crews. Maybe this at least proved that, even through hard times, there is still some compassion and good will toward those in need. w Q Z parthcid—Bishop Desmond Tutu and African President Peter W.

Closing 195 The Closing Point Another year has passed, holding spe- cial memories for everyone involved. New friends have been made and old friendships have flourished. In the back of everyone’s mind the past year’s events will be saved. As of the years before, another senior class has become alumni, giving moving space to the classes ad- vancing forward. The class year of 1985- 86 bears many special happenings. The Golden Bear football team came from behind, with only seconds left on the clock, defeating the school’s biggest and oldest rivalry Lauderdale County High School. Also the school obtained a new gym. Unlike the old gym this one con- tained a full balcony and separate locker rooms for gym classes and athletes. Tina Cartee commented, “Being able to be a member of the first class to graduate in the new gym will hold special memories for me.” As the year has passed, most everyone will be Looking Forward to Looking Back.
