The lliigh School Belle fWitb Apologies to E. A. Poej Hear the freshmen with the bells, High School bells! What a lot of noise they make with all their How they chatter, chatter, chatter, In their classes and at play, For they think noise does not matter, QTO their teacher's due dismayj. Little Freshmen, full of glee Small you are but loud you be. screaming yells. Oh, the wondrous complication as you rush from class pell-mell, At the bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, At the clanging and the banging of the bell. Watch them coming with their bells, High School bells. The stately tread of Sophomores astonishment compels. They seem brighter, brighter, brighter, Every time they're on the stage Never one is known to stumble At her stunt, nor do they grumble Tho they work -beyond their age. At the lunch hour see them throw Papers high and papers low! Does their ardent conversation which continuously swells, Stop at bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, At the ringing and the swinging of the bells? Who's approaching with their bells High School Bells? 'Tis the giddy Juniors, my prophetic soul foretells. They are mocking, mocking, mocking All the day and half the night. And when Grant they are not knocking To the library they are flocking For they're truly very bright. And they love to air their views In our weekly County News. And does worried agitation, explanations dire compel, At the bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell? At the ringing of our Prexey's office bell. Why the silence? Why no bell? High School Bell? Oh, the Seniors can't be bothered, as we ought to know For they're busy, busy, busy, In the morn and late at night. And they study 'till they,re dizzy With no time to ride a lizzy But their work is their delight. Hear them wail, wail, wail, For they say that they will fail full well At their next examination, when they'll probably excel, And do so well, well, well, well, well, well, well, Theylll be singing at the ringing of the graduation bell. 2 - .F V .W . r 1 4 Q x':' f . .W , A..

Although this class has made an unusually poor showing on the report cards, we have, perhaps, lived even more deeply than many of the foregoing classes with their bookworms. On the whole we have been fu.l of life and diversity of thought and action. Four years ago seventy-hve of us added our names to the Lexington High School records. We set about immediately riddingfotirseplyes of the freshman greeness and making our presence known. That winter weihelped to present a Christmas Pageant, which was Written by Miss Moore and directed by Miss Sieg. Even in our first year We began to make an athletic showing which has grown until now we have built up a reputation for having had many of the best athletes in the school on our class roll. Our class was well represened on the literary staffs, and in sports during our Sophomore and Junior years. One of our classmates, Mary Welles, left us at the end of her second year. Not only had she made a splendid scholastic record, but she had also participated in various extra curricular activities. Our fourth year has been mark-ed by struggles in the face of great difficulty. Because the senior class of last year left no funds with which to publish the '34 CRYSTAL, we have had to sell Christmas cards, give cake sales, and make a drive for subscriptions. XVe also went into partnership with the Junior Class and staged a highly successful carnival. The generous contributions of the parents made our cake sales possible, as the gifts of the merchants of the community made our carnival a success. In mentioning our gratitude for the backing We have received, it must be remembered that when we were in need of subscriptions to the CRYSTAL the full quota was pledged readily. The members of the class of ,34 have always worked enthusiastically for the benefit of their school. Not only have they applied themselves during the regular school sessions, but in the summer of '33 some of the senior boys, Sheridan, Remsburg, Walkei', E. Deaver and R. Hickman baked their backs in the sun while toiling under the direction of Kenny' to construct the Thompson Dam. Although this dam was not per- manent it paved the way for the present stone one which adds greatly to the attractive- ness and usefulness of the school property. Our greatest claim to originality is that we are the first L. H. S. class to be arrayed in caps and gowns for our last unied appearance, at graduation. During our entire career we have thought of our school not as an organization of .principal, teachers, and pupils, brought together merely to cram facts into our heads, but as a group which works together to give us knowledge, experience and an under- standing of how to make our Way in the world. 1 ,L 092' M -- I x ff Q 'Q f l bln' si lx .gg e ll cL.AS,S We, the most brilliant class ever graduated from L.

This training is gained through the practice of self-control, honesty and political morality. Through the active participation of the entire student body in their self-government, each member of the school achieves a measure of that self-control which is necessary for a successful democracy. The support which the student body gives the Honor Committee prepares the members for co-operation in the government of their several committees in later life. Also, an active campaign in the election of officers trains the student body to consider the fitness of candidates for leadership. This government touches vitally the school life of each individual pupil and for this reason, every student takes a deep interest in the administration of the constitution. The principles to which the student body subscribes and Whose maintenance is entrusted to the Honor Corn- mittee are: The use of language which is becoming to a gentleman, respect for public property and honorable con- duct on all occasions.

The sun behind House Mountain sinks and dies The band begins to form beneath the arch, Lead by drum major they begin to march. Theywsweep on doyvn the field with martial tread, The plumes are fluttering on the captain's head. The music ceases, and the evening gun Booms out the signal that the day is done, And everywhere are heard the stirring notes As on the air the National Anthem floats. I , JANETTA SMITH ,3 6. MY' V AGABOND MIND Wfhen in my room I sit at night Witli tired brain and bleary sight, For many hours o'er math I ponder, But still my weary mind will Wander.

The stars are so bright, In a cloudless sky W' ith a crescent moon, That lovers may spoon In the moonlight. CARLISLE FIX '36 The Little Red School ll-llouse The little red school house shivers and snuggles farther down in the blanket of snow. She is glad to see Mat shuffling down the hill just as the grey dawn is thinning. Soon the chimney is sending smoke-rings high above the L. H. S. About eight-thirty pupils, teachers and principal begin to arrive. A few snow balls whistle through the air. In a little while a bell rings and the front porch is left vacant. An elderly gentle- man might be seen pacpig the hall with his own watch in his hand and his eyes on the clock in the office. You see, the school busses haVen't arrived. But wait! The front door slams and the pupils come in with rosy cheeks and a few stray snow flakes clinging to their hair. The elderly gentleman mumbles something half under his breath and rings the bell to go to classes. Among the crowd of pupils a little lady might be seen hurrying down the hall as if she were going to a fire. She enters a classroom and straightway begins rolling a pencil between her hands as if her very life depended on it, saying, All right, boys, get quiet now! Down stairs a tall, graceful brunette is saying, How can we produce a senior play if you won't even select a play? And please don't forget that all outlines on senior thesis are due Fridayf' By this time things have settled a little and only a hum of voices may be heard from each class room. At assembly period, the student body convenes in the auditorium to listen to some talk or other program. The elderly gentleman presides with great dignity and at every opportunity he cautions the the children about the dangers of excessive speed in driving cars. Then, back to class and the problem of How the number of old maids in a community affects the price of red clover hay? A very tall, young man explains, re-explains and finally decides that the mental capacity of the majority of the pupils is not equal to the strain of such deep, intellectual study. Coming up the hall a little farther, we hear a voice declare that Lincoln may have had a few good points but .... N The snow has stopped falling and the children are eager for recess to come so that they may get outdoors again. At last the bell rings and the boys rush outside and immediately it becomes dangerous even so much as to appear at a door. Lunch is eaten and groups of boys and girls laugh and talk together. Suddenly a chord rings clear and sweet on the air and at once an eager group begins to collect around the curly-haired boy seated at the piano and requests are shot at him so fast that he cannot possibly comply with all of them. A bell sounds and the crowd reluc- tantly breaks up and returns to classes. Then a dusky man comes around with a basket on his arm, picking up trash. As one passes the library door a rather irritated feminine voice ad- monishes that uif this were a book in your own library at home, you wouldn't have treated it this way. From farther down the hall a soft, little voice says, Repondez en Francaise, s'il vous plaitf' In the next room a lady smiles and promises, I'11 take you for a hike to Buena Vista if you. will learn your science now. The last bell rings at three oiclock and school is over. Pupils hurry in all directions. Some start toward the school busses, others toward the hillg some of the boys go to the locker room to get ready for basketball practice 5 a few are seen smoking cigarettes on the front porch and others are perpetually throwing snow balls. The short afternoon draws to a close and the winter dusk falls silently on the old school house, but it isn't quiet long. It is hardly dark before the boys and girls wrapped in coats and sweaters appear with their sleds and coast on the hill or skate on the ice above the dam. When the last of these has gone home to get warm, there is still one light burning down stairs. Far back at the end of the corridor in the school house That Owln is still there estimating how many bags of cement it will take to make something or fixing some new therorem with which to worry the pupils, but the little school house is used to this inmate and she settles down to a night of peace and quiet until tomorrow brings another day. MILDRED DEAVER, ,35. The Carnival Bells, whistles, horns, confetti! As I entered the High School I was greeted by such a gala scene that for a moment I thought I might be in a Barnum and Bailey world. Gaily dec- orated booths with glaring sig ns told me that here I might buy ice cream and hot chocolate as well as have my fortune told. I pushed the streamers aside and found a seat just as the main show began. For an hour I was highly entertained by a musical comedy wholly made up of high-school talent. Before my eyes I saw a football hero, an All-American girl, a ballet dancer, girls and more girls. As the curtain fell a tall young man appeared on the stage and shouted that the snake charmer would now begin his act in the Biology exhibit room. Along with the crowd I rushed madly for the door. A flashy tap-dancer was performing on top of a desk and how his feet did fly! A hissing rattle snake and a blowing viper were being wrapped around the necks of the two charmers who ap- peared to be enjoying it immensely. I watched the crowd gayly taking in every event and noticed that many were carrying packages. Some had huge cakes which I later found had been won on the cake-walk. I saw that an auction was being held on the stage and made a wild dash for the scene of action. I arrived just in time to witness the sale of a picture frame, a box of Vigoro, and numerous wonderful bargains. As I realized that mid-night was approaching, I gathered up my belongings, and laden with bundles, left the scene of a memorable evening. The lliiilbrary The library, as a separate unit of the school, was organized in 1926 when a room with adequate shelving space was given for this purpose. The primary purpose of its establishment was first, to develop a love of reading and appreciation of literature, and second, to provide source material for all classes. Originally the library was composed of a small collection of books brought over from the Ann Smith Academy. Since then it has been increased from year to year by gifts from many interested friends and by purchases made with library funds. The library now includes excellent reference Works, such as atlasses, encyclopedias and dictionaries as Well as biographical selections, poems, plays, orations and other books necessary to the study and teaching of literature, history, the social sciences, mathematics and languages. In addition, there is a splendid collection of novels. There is also valuable reference material in the magazine department. The aim of the library staff is to render efficient service to all. A spirit of cogoperation, consideration and sportsmanship on the part of the members of the Student Body makes this possible. Students generally respond courteously to all requests. We are indebted to Mrs. Boykin for the interest she has taken and the services she has rendered. It is through her untiring efforts that the library has become one of the most efficient departments in the High School.

The schedule was a stiff one since games were booked entirely with A and B class schools. About thirty-five boys began practice with the Bn class champion- ship as their goal. They practiced only a week before their first game with 'tMiller Manual Tr-aining Schoolf' a boy,s home. Most of the men on the squad were recruits with the exception of Roberson, McCown, Holland, Deaver, Fox and Beeton Who had played on the varsity last year. The opposing team had been playing together for several years. Although Lexington fought hard throughout the game, they lost by a score of 26 to 6. The boys came home with a determination to win the next game. They practiced long and hard during the following week and went into the game against Low-Moor with a will to win. The line and backs did excellent blocking thus enabling Roberson and Fox to run the ball. Lexington won with a score of 28 to 0. The following Friday, Lexington played Bedford. This game was won by the teamwork of the players which gave the Bedford eleven no chance to score. The final score was 26 to 0 with Lexington holding all honors. The second highest score ever made by a Lexington team was score against Waynesboro. Lexington tried to out do itself in this game, and launched an attack that could not be checked. Lexington won by a score of 68 to 0. The best and most interesting game of the year was fought be- tween Lexington and Fredericksburg, at Fredericksburg. Lexington was in good condition and ready to fight hard in order not to lose the game. In the first half, Lexington scored when Fredericksburg fumbled on their own twenty-yard line. Fox kicked the extra point. In the second half, Fredericksburg repeated Lexington's performance and tied the score. The game ended with Lexington driving down the field, and the score was 7 to 7. In the next game Lexington was victorious over Covington, scoring all eighteen points in the first six minutes of the third quarter, while Covington's twelve points were scored in the first half. The following game was lost to Clifton Forge. Roberson ran the entire length of the field for Lexington's only touchdown. The score was 20 to 6. The next week Lexington lost again to Charlottesville. Charlottes- ville's aerial attack and end runs, won the game. The game ended with Charlottesville 18, Lexington 0. In the final game of the season Lexing- tonton was defeated by Vinton. Vinton's line plunges won the game. The score was 24 to 0. Eighteen men, received letters this year. Arthur Beeton and Wood- row Donald are co-captains for next year's team. X H. ,- ,.

Coach This season has been a successful one due to the splendid Work of Mrs. Ackerley with the help of Sid,, Hickman and the fine spirit shown by the team. Although the first part of the year was not quite so suc- cessful the squad came through at the end with flying colors! In the first two games Lexington was defeated. Although the team stuck together and did their best, they lost their first game to Natural Bridge. The next game with Buena Vista was a speedy one and Lexing- ton,s sextette showed up Well, but luck was against her and another loss Was added to the list. The third game was with Glasgow. The teams Were Well matched, and the game ended in a tie. -The first victory of the season Was due to a decided improvement on the part of LeXington's squad When they Won over Effinger's six with a score of 16-11. In the game with Fairfield fthe only out-of-town engagementj both teams did their best. Unfortunately for L. H. S. the opponents won by one point. A second game with Buena Vista was played shortly before Thanks- giving and those Bueny Belles had to urun for their moneyf, but again Lady Luck turned her head. Lexington lost by three points. The first game after Thanksgiving was with Glasgow. Lexington made an ex- cellent showing, coming through with a score of 27 to 11. The second game with Effinger was played immediately before Christmas Holidays. Ye Ole Christmas Spiritn was right with the team, the Hnal score being 36 to 14. The last game of the season was a double header with Fairfield. Both the boys, and girls' teams were victorious. The tables were turned and the girls vindicated themselves with a score of 21 to 18.

VALE We hope that our playing this season has done credit to our beloved coach, Mrs. Ackerley, who, we regret to say, will not be with us next year. But the members of the squad of '34 will always remember this, their last year under the guidance of Mrs. Ackerley-Here's luck to her! V In saying farewell to the players who are leaving us this year, we do it with deep regret realizing what a gap it will leave in our line-up next year. Those who aregleaving us are Frances Harrison, our captain for two years, Wfinnie Harris, Dolly Burks, who came through with a bang at the end of the season and Fay Kinkaid, our manager for the last two years, a girl who is capable of filling any position on the team and who has been the one who has held our team together through many a hard fight. +116 , arc' fn, .A., 75 ekipnf 'D TL 51.10 If I-ffc Amin Sidney Hickman, Roy Hickman, Billy Holland, Buddy Deaver, Bobby Fox John Swink, john Campbell, Robert Hutcheson, Tom Kerr, John Sheridan C.

Of these there Were five lettermen, Billy Roberson, Billy Holland, Roy Hickman, Bobby Fox, and Buddy Deaver. After a short practice the Lexington quintet played Glass High in Lynchburg. Although the boys played good ball they were beaten by Glass. In this game Roy Hickman was outstanding for his long and accurate shots. In the three games following, the Lexington team showed great improvement in their floor Work. Although they fought hard they lost two out of the three games. The last was Won by accurate shots and a good defense which kept the oposing team from approaching their goal. As the team Worked together more they began to improve. While Roberson and Deaver were leading the team in goals, Holland, in the center position was playing outstanding ball both in getting the tip-off from his opponents and in shooting. About this time Sidney Hickman came out and played an excellent game as guard, substituting for Bobby Fox and Roy Hickman. This year the team will lose three men, Buddy Deaver and Roy Hickman through graduation and Billy Roberson, who is going to A. M. A. All three of these men are known for their athletic ability and good sportsmanship in school and on the basketball team. Their places will be hard to fill on next year's team. Bill Holland and Soupy Campbell each have a year left to play. Swink and Kerr have two more years and great things are expected of them next year. The team has fought to Win honors for Lexington High all during the season. 'Often they were defeated, it is true, but in most cases by a much stronger team. Lexington Won five out of thirteen games, losing to schools such as Glass High, V. E. S. and Massanutten. The team has not yet elected a captain for next year. Holland, Fox, Hickman, Swink, and Kerr are expected to form a fast and accurate IICEIIU. Lexington Lynchburg ..... Lexington Natural Bridge Lexington Waynesboro Lexington Fairfield .....,..
