Adair Hitch Your Wagon to a Star Two heights are marked by hands of pristine story; Above, the beckoning star; below, the region gory. Both ways lie open to the cobbler or the czar, So hitch your wagon to a star. Dangling from a tiny star, chords of lofty vision Wait to lift you from the world’s derision. Grasp these steadfast bars; the depths abhor. Ever hitch your wagon to a star. Pray for power to meet your work, Not for work to meet your power; nor shirk A task you think too hard by far, But hitch your wagon to a star. — Mary Gorden Lewis, ’ 36 .

We shall leave behind us an honorable and admirable record which will stand the test of time. However, when we do flaunt our achievements it will be with forgiveable pride for though fortune has favored us with true ability, it has only been through perseverance and work that it has been possible for us to have attained our height. We, as freshmen, differed from former freshmen only in that we were greener” and more numerous as well. The withering and patroniz- ing stares of our elder colleagues in the school would have downed us could we have been downed, but this was impossible. In every field of activity, we ventured with enthusi- asm. Those of us athletically inclined, commenced their careers under the excellent direction of Captain Ramey, Mr. Berkeley, Mrs. Ackerly and Mrs. Berkeley. Our studious classmates made such excellent grades that the number of freshmen on the honor roll surpassed the entire upper classes. Whole-heartedly the freshmn participated in Miss Moore’s Christmas Pageant, Mrs. Tardy’s chorus and the Dramatic Club under Miss Sieg’s supervision. The cast of The Sire de Maletroit’s Door” was composed wholly of freshmen. We did not rest on our laurels when we became arrogant sophomores. Instead, we found new and greater fields of conquest. Our class inspired a new era of eraser throwing never equalled before or since in our school’s annals. So ghastly it was that one sophomore room had to be locked during recess so the dust might settle. This coupled with our practice of paddling the incoming freshmen gained for us a belligerent reputation. The world was at our feet and needless to say, at our necks. This raging battle being quieted, we arrayed ourselves in the splendor and sophisti- cation of juniors. A practical spirit pervaded us and a unique plan was the result. We had a carnival with peanuts, popcorn, cake-walking, confetti and all the delightfully gaudy essentials. The school building lost its severe visage and became a background for much gaiety and revelry. The Carnival” was pronounced a riotious success, unlike anything ever attempted in the school. Not only was this a success but it may be said our junior year was a success, a suitable forerunner for our senior year, with Mr. Thompson, which brought many radical changes. The Monogram Club sponsored a dance at the Mayflower Inn for benefit of The Crystal. The Southern Collegians played. The splendid and unhoped for result of this dance was that another one fol- lowed on its heels only a month later. Also this year, the school changed the passing grade from 6 5 to 75, a rule which was a matter of no moment to our senior class. Customarily every graduating class has a play, usually a very good one. To top the record is the desire of each class. Though the play of our choice Wait for Me,” has not been presented yet, we feel that not only will it be as good as its predecessors but it will set a precedent for the future. An accurate and detailed history of the Class of ’3 5 would be impossible to write. Only those persons, who have been in constant association with the members of this class with their high ideals, high scholastic record and rare achievements in all activities can fully understand and appreciate their untold influence upon their alma mater. — Marie Davidson, ’3 5.

C. Berkeley, Jr. Coach The L. H. S. football season opened this year with bright prospects for the future. When practice started, about thirty men reported. Among these were Pedro Donald, Fox, Holland, Moseley, Miller, Camp- bell, P. Davis, and Williams, all letter men from last year. Along with these, there were several of last year’s substitutes, who developed into fine material. The first week of the season was taken up with exercising and learn- ing signals in preparation for the opening game with Bedford, to be played here. Although the team was not yet up to par, they succeeded in beat- ing Bedford 6-2. The next game was with V. E. S., an A” class school. The preced- ing week was taken up with hard work-outs and learning new signals. Lexington fought hard, but they were out classed and were defeated 4S-0. When the team came back from Lynchburg they were determined to win their next game which was with Covington. They worked hard all week perfecting their plays. When Lriday came, the weather was none too good, but they fought it out in a sea of mud, Coxington win- ning 7-0. The game was later given to Lexington with a score of 1-0, because Covington had played ineligible men. Since there was no game scheduled for the following week, the time was taken up with regular routine practices for the Radford game. In this game .they were defeated 7-0. The next game was played with Glass Hi of Lynchburg, another A” class school, and Lexington lost 45-0. The game with Charlottesville which was scheduled for the follow- ing Friday was cancelled because of sickness and injuries on the Lexington team. This gave them an extra week to get in shape for the Low Moor game which they won with a score of 6-0. rivals, Clifton Forge and Vinton. The first of these two was a hard work for the best games of the year against their .two oldest B” class rivals, Clifton Forge and Vinton. The first of these two was a hard fought game, and they showed their greatest teamwork, but they lost 15-7. The last game of the season was played on a muddy field, and Lex- ington succeeded in defeating Vinton 13-7. Sixteen men received monograms, and Bobby Fox was elected cap- tain of next year’s team. The usual starting line-up was as follows: Fox Flint, Donald Irby Miller P. Donald (Capt.) P. Davis Williams Moseley W. Davis Holland Quarterback Halfbacks Fullback Right End Right Tackle Right Guard Center Left Guard Left Tackle Left End I mi , . imtki m ' Back Roi 1 — Woodward, Ainsworth, Mahanes, Mrs. Berkeley (Coach), Barger, McDaniels Front Row — N. Deaver, Crawford, Cooke, Zimmerman, Williamson, Johnson Girls’ Basketball, 1935 Shirley Zimmerman Captain Virginia Woodward Manager Mrs. C. C. Berkeley Coach The Lexington Girls’ Basketball team had a fine season, as is indicated by the following schedule: It started off with a bang, winning the first game from Effinger 23-16. But it seemed that the team was not going to keep this up. Natural Bridge won by the score of 32-19. The next two games were with Fairfield. The first, Fairfield won 5 3-25. The second game with this team showed that Fexington was im- proving because it was beaten only 30-20. But in the game with Buena Vista, Fexington seemed to be coming back to its own, as her team won 24-17. Then in the last game of the season, the team showed that it was Fexington’s own .team for it won from the County Champions, Natural Bridge, heretofore unbeaten this year, by the sere of 20-16. Captain Shirley Zimmerman and Isabel Williamson, centers, played well together. Shirley showed fine ability and leadership in her posi- tions of captain and side-center. Isabel proved to be one of the best players on the team, as she played the whole time in every game. Marie Johnson was a very close and efficient guard, always faithful to her team. Nell Deaver played guard the first three games, but near the end of the season she was changed to forward, in which position she played equally as well. Esten Cooke was a fine guard, but she was often called on to help out as forward. In the position of forward, Elizabeth Crawford and Lenna Jen- nings were steady, dependable, and speedy. Mary Monroe Ainsworth and Louise Barger added to Lexington’s score in several games while Mariam Sacks and Nell Walker substituted as guards. Virginia Woodward, the manager of the team, was also a substitute for side-center. Alise Reynolds had to discontinue her prac- tice early in the season. Many others were faithful at practice and we are looking forward to their future success in basketball. Mrs. Berkeley, Lexington’s very competent coach, is to be com- mended on her fine work. It will be very hard on the team to lose her seniors for we realize what a gap will be made in the line-up. Those who are leaving us are our captain, Shirley Zimmerman, our manager, Virginia Woodward, and Miriam Sacks and Louise Barger, guard and forward. Back Row — Brown, Davidson, Hutcheson, Fix, Berkeley (Coach), Campbell (Manager) Front Row — Swink, Kerr, Morgan, Holland, Smith, Murray, and Goforth Boys’ Basketball, 1935 Holland Campbell C. C. Berkeley Captain Manager Coach The future did not look very promising for the L. H. S. basketball team when practice began after the Christmas holidays. Due to failure in school, the only letterman from last year who reported was Holland, playing center. Although Coach Berkeley had very little material, he succeeded in making a small but fast team. The first two games were with A” class teams, Glass Hi and V. E. S. Since they were at a great disadvantage as to experience and height, they lost both these games. During the remainder of the season, Lexington played B” and “C” class teams, and they used the valuable experience they had gained in the first two games to a great advantage. Among the B” class teams were Clifton Forge, Buchanan, and Waynesboro. Lexington won one and lost one with Clifton Forge and Waynesboro, and won both games from Buchanan. In the games played with C” class teams, Lexington won three and lost four, winning those from Glasgow, Bedford and Effinger, and losing to Natural Bridge, Fairfield, Bedford and Glasgow. Taking the season as a whole and considering the lack of material, it was very successful. Lexington won seven out of fifteen games. Holland is the only man to be lost this year by graduation, and it is hoped that the experience the team has gained this year will help them to have a successful season next year. Four men received monograms this year, Holland, Morgan, Kerr, and Swink.

ARTHUR BEETON Student Government Student government at L. H. S. has passed the experimental stage. It is an established factor for the betterment of student life in our high school. Its history is not one of a sudden rise but one built on hard work and ceaseless effort on the part of some of our fellow students. We have had an unbroken string of presidents who have had the good of the school at heart. Our committees have been unusually good, and the one of this year is no exception. All student government authority is vested in a president and a committee. The president is elected by the entire student body on the first Tuesday in May. The president is elected from the coming Senior Class, and by precedent, is a boy. The fol- lowing week the coming Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores elect a boy and a girl from their respective classes. The incoming Freshmen elect their members as soon as possible at the begin- ning of the next school year. These nine members compose the executive committee of L. H. S. and have power to judge all cases coming under the constitution. There are six offenses listed in the constitution. They are cheating, smoking in the building, destroying school property, putting off fireworks in the school building, silence of com- mittee members on cases before them, and use of profane lan- guage of any kind. Although only members of the council are pledged to report offenders, it should be the desire of every student to support the honor system, not only by obeying the rules himself, but by encouraging others to do so. Such sup- port cannot be secured in a short time, but only by raising school ideals from year to year. Student government was not forced on the students of L. H. S. Students made the constitution and students carry on the workings of the system. It follows the old formula Gov- ernment of the Students, for the Students, and by the Stu- dents”; but it should be remembered that government depends upon the governed. It is the wish of the Senior Class that we may leave this idea with our fellow students. We are leaving. We have done the best we could, little as it is, to support student government. We now pass the torch to the incoming Seniors, Juniors, Sopho- mores and Freshmen.

The members belonging to this club earned their letters in the only girls’ sport, basketball. There have been two meetings; in the first, officers were elected; in the second, dues were decided upon. It was also agreed upon that meet- ings would be held every other Monday. This club was organized chiefly to promote more interest in girls’ sports in the high school.

The assembly program comes in the morning after two periods of class work when the whole school congregates in the auditorium. This year Mr. Waddell changed the assembly from a regular feature of our daily program to only two or three days a week. The remaining days were used as a study hall for further preparation of school activities. This was a great improvement over the old method for more time was left for preparing programs which would be both inspirational and recreational. The assembly programs have been extremely interesting this year. They have been widely varied by outside speakers and by former school graduates who have been successful in the world. We have listened at- tentively to declamations given by the Seniors and Juniors, have seen short plays acted by the library staff and by the Freshmen, have enjoyed discussions on class work and school matters in general and have laughed at the humorous remarks of Mr. Thompson and Mr. Berkeley. Our realm of knowledge has been marvelously enlarged by those outside speakers who have aroused our enthusiasm in philosophy, education, legal activities, problem solving, philately, medical science, natural his- tory of Virginia, Hellerestic culture, the Olympic games, modern lan- guages, astronomy, fame of Sidney Lanier, and student life at Oxford. On particular occasions Mr. Waddell has taken the assembly period to reprove us for misconduct in the halls or for misuse of the school prop- erty. Fie has also instructed us in the ways of life and discussed with us good citizenship for which we are deeply indebted to him. The Senior Class of ’3 5 feels that the assembly has been a great bene- fit to them whether in work or play and will always look back with happiness and respect upon those half-hours which have filled our school routine with pleasure and added joy to our tasks. — Hilah Hinty, ’3 5. Why Must Guests Be Guests? The saying used to go that one was safe between trains” but in these days of the automobile one never can be too sure that some dear, old friend or relative will not choose exactly the wrong moment to appear on a scene of coziness and comfort. The sublime safety of a home-loving man is lost forever when guests begin pouring in. Big and little, old and young, friends and relatives in Fisher bodies and knee action wheels — on and on they stream. Just think how empty the now crowded highways would be if there were no would-be guests going to visit someone! Seclusion is ours no longer. Gone are the days of the comfortable lounging in easy chairs, the pleasurable stretching of our toes whilst we enjoyably read the paper! No longer can we fill the air with tobacco fumes or pile up the floor with papers and ashes! No longer can we sit up late at night and pick up faint radio stations which beckon to us from the four corners of the world. We cannot lie abed on Sundays until far into the wee hours of the afternoon, then bathe luxuriously for hours with a copy of Liberty in one hand and a wash rag in the other! No leisurely shaves, no singing in the bathtub, no solitaire! In short gone are all the important items which helped us to live a quiet, cozy, comfort- able life! How we curse Henry Ford and his competitors for their most dis- picable product! Who invented free wheeling and knee-action wheels? Why did Fisher invent the body beautiful? Was it all done merely to break up the quiet peaceful American home? But now that we have shown what a horrid foe is the automobile, we will talk a bit about the people who ride so trustingly in them and who so complacently ring the door bells of other people’s houses. Such an over sweet sweetness pervades the countenance of your wife, Maria, when she opens the door and contorts her features into a welcom- ing greeting to your mother, your old flame and your little brother aged five. There follows a lot of hypocritic talk between the three women about how glad they are to see each other and Maria says she was think- ing the other day how nice it would be to have Jim’s family for a visit.” And Maria is very glad to see Barbara, whom she knew slightly.” The guests go to their rooms and Maria’s face relaxes its hold on its smile and looks furious. For is this not just the time when she didn’t want com- pany? All those bushels of fruit waiting to be canned! Poor Maria! You feel sorry for her. And then a week goes by in which your little brother tracks in mud on Maria’s beautiful, spotless rugs and spills mer- churochrome on Maria’s shining bathroom floor. During which week your mother’s face assumes a supercilious expression and Maria gives a pretty good imitation of a volcano while she freely perspires in the kitchen over burning potatoes and tough steak. You meditate why Maria cooks such terrible meals when your mother is around. And when dinner is served you wish Maria hadn’t been so hasty with brother. But you for- get that Maria is worn out by your mother’s sweet remarks with their veiled meanings. Maria is also tired of seeing Barbara act as if you were her property and seeing you act as if you were her pet dog. The week comes to an end and the guests leave and Maria tells them to be sure to come back soon. They drive off in their air-flow body by Fisher to ring someone else’s doorbell. A little family brawl ensues punc- tuated by Maria’s tears but it is soon over and you settle down once more to your quiet American way of living. For a short period of bliss you do as you please and enjoy life. The world seems a wonderful place to live in. Then — lo and behold! Up turns Bill who was a good friend to you in college days. When you received the letter announcing his intention to arrive you were all excited and whirled Maria around in a jig. Had not you and Bill done all sorts of foolish things together? Had you not crammed and failed together? Chummed and fussed together? Had, you not after a hectic period of four years graduated together? Had not Bill been your sole support whenever you were moody and depressed? Had not his clever jokes and burlesques lightned your sad moments? He was a good fellow, was Bill! You wonder what he is like now. You are keyed up to the highest possible pitch when from out the automobile steps a portly, common, uncouth man clad in diamond tiepins and rings and grey spats and patent leather shoes. He speaks in a loud hoarse voice and there are scarcely five hairs on his head. His eyes are beady, his nose broad, his cheeks puffy and his general appearance terrible. That can’t be Bill,” you say. But Bill it is. He tells a few smutty jokes in his coarse voice. He pats you on the back and winks approvingly at Maria. He tells you about a deal he’s putting over on the side.” You try your best to be civil and entertaining and wish way down to your toes (which Bill generously steps on while getting into the car) that Bill had never come, that he were different or that he would impress Maria in a different way. You welcome him to your former abode of comfort and good will. Maria is disgusted and you are disgusted. Bill wonders why you are so uppity and cites in his unpleasant way many uproarious incidents which you have never exposed to Maria. And Maria looks shocked and you look disgusted and Bill looks — well, you can’t describe how Bill looks. The next day he makes an excuse about an unknown business enterprise which requires his attention and leaves. You and Maria breathe a sigh of relief and wish him a pleasant journey. And there are the times when Aunt Cora comes. She is an object of great respect for she is a lady with a bank account which would make her beloved anywhere. What a dignity it gives an old lady, that balance at the banker’s. How tenderly you look at her faults and what a good- natured old creature you find her. How when she comes to pay you a visit you generally find an opportunity to let your friends know her station in the world. She is my Aunt,” you say in a nonchalant way when anyone asks if you are any relation. How warm the house is kept! The soude during her stay assumes a festive, neat, warm appearance. You forget to sleep after dinner, you forget to take off your shoes. You find yourself suddenly fond of playing whist! What good dinners Maria prepares! What an angel of obedience is the baby and how sweet she looks in the new clothes Auntie brought her! In short, how pleasing is Aunt Cora’s presences, how sweet. And Auntie goes away much pleased with Jim and Jim’s wife and Jim’s baby. Decidely Auntie’s stay is a pleasant one. You and Maria have decided never to have another guest like Bill or many others, but in these days of the automobile between trains — well — you never can tell. Impressions In The Snow A land of fairy shrubs and trees Elfin paradise: Life and vigor in the breeze — Palaces of ice. Diamonds dripping from the boughs, Earth all pearly white, God, in nature, now endows A world with sheer delight. — Guy Forrester, ’36 A Tribute To Our Alma Mater On this day when we part from friends Who have to us been so true, We realize that our future life Will bring us friends anew. Yet an irrepressable feeling Pulls at our heartstrings when We leave our fondest classmates Maybe never to see them again. We’ve been through the roughest weather And yet we’ve had our fun ’Tis these things that draw us together When our high school life is done. We enter an unfriendly world Our separate lives to lead Th’ experience that we’ve gained in school We’ll find we really need. So when we leave the Red School house” And draw so far away T’will be our years at Lexington High That help us every day. — Isabel Williamson, ’ 36 .
