The History of the Class of ’33 H AVING successfully survived the evils of the age and passed through ( ?) the “depression,” we, the class of ’33, think ourselves justified in writing our history. In ’29, eighty-two ladies and gentlemen from the garden spot of Vir- ginia entered the sacred portals of dear old Lexington High. Having been supplied with the necessary bibs and other paraphernalia by Mrs. Tardy, we at once settled down to hard work — that is — how to get maximum grades with minimum labor. Just ask Miss Sieg and she will tell you “very con- fidentially” that as freshmen we organized the Dramatic Club and were well represented in the Chorus. Some went in for athletics and, incidentally, some for scholastic honors. In the following year, we, trained in dodging chalk and erasers, made a special effort to teach the freshmen the advantages to be obtained from at- tending so great an institution as our High School. Diminished in numbers, we still managed to keep Lexington on the map. In our Junior year we began to realize how foolishly wise we had been as Sophomores. We continued to make advances in the great field of learn- ing and other curricular activities. Our class was well represented on both the football and basketball teams and also on the Echo staff. And now — these energetic, gifted young people are mighty seniors. Yes, they are the same group of “Kiddies” that entered high school four years ago. Looking into their faces, we see the determined, joyful visions, with the fear of freshmen days gone and in its place a look of wisdom and ex- perience. Still, though we assume the cares and responsibilities of seniors, the members of this illustrious class hold eraser battles and take part in many mischievous pranks. In every society of the school the Seniors are always on top, as shown by the A’s on report cards, school publications, and athletics. Monograms galore were awarded to our Senior heroes in football, basketball, and baseball. And so for us, L. H. S. stands not merely as a little brick building, but as an emblem of our progress, an emblem of our happiness, and an emblem of days gone by. So it is with a sense of pride for our school, an inestimable gratitude to school, an inestimable gratitude to the faculty, and feeling of sadness that we, the Class of ' 33, depart from our old friends at Lexington High.
