SHOWING HIS SCHOOL SPIRIT. Billy Bcvis participates in the pep rally class competition by stomping out the Devils with balloons.

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

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
