Class History W HEN our class of ’36 entered the doors of Lexington High School as freshmen, we were probably as green, as bewildered, and as generally obstreperous as any other freshman class, and we un- doubtedly felt quite as important. We were an unusually large class, certainly not lacking in initiative. That year a Glee Club was begun under Mrs. Tardy’s supervision, and, under the direction of Miss Sieg, a Dramatic Club was organized producing The Mikado.” Our Sophomore year was, on the whole, fairly normal. We con- sider it quite a feather in our cap that we donated more books than any ether class for Library Day. That year we began to show that char- acteristic which has probably marked our class as much as any other — an active and vigorous interest in the student elections. We campaigned enthusiastically for our favorites. In our Junior year, we had the pleasure of seeing the football games from our new stadium, (which also serves as a background for Mr. Thompson’s photographic artistry) . Inspired by the stadium, perhaps, the Monogram Club gave two very successful dances at the Mayflower Inn, with the music by the Southern Collegians. The 193 5 election for the President of the Student Government was fought as bitterly as has ever been known in the history of Lexington High, and largely by our class. This year too has been eventful. Our student government has proved itself unusually efficient and capable, and has brought about and led the way for a number of improvements in the Honor System. The Seniors, in order to meet the expenses for the publication of the Crystal, operated a candy store at recess, which has met with considerable success. The Monogram Club sponsored a dance at the V. M. I. gymnasium, featuring the music of the V. M. I. Commanders. Guess Again” was selected for the Senior play and tryouts and rehearsals are under way. It is hard to say just how much impression we have made or how much we have benefited the school, (if at all), during our four years here, but it is the earnest wish of every member of our class that the faculty and the other classes may review those years with one-half the pleasure and satisfaction which we experience in remembering our associ- ations in Lexington High School.

H. Woodson Coach When practice started in the fall, about twenty-five men composed the squad. This squad was under the direction of Mr. Woodson, coach for the first time at Lexington. There were only four letter-men: Wil- liams, Donald, Davis, and Irby. Although our team was defeated more often than it was victorious, it was considered a hard-fighting team. In our opening game we were defeated 12-0 by the strong Bedford team which remained undefeated throughout the season. The second game was lost to Covington, 6-0. On the following Friday, Lexington met Radford. The first half of this game was scoreless, but in the last minutes Lexington’s defense gave way to the heavier Radford team and lost 19-0. Our team scored for the first time in the game against Low Moor. We won 6-0. The next game was with Buena Vista, our deadliest rivals. We lost this game 12-0 and in the hard game sustained many injuries. Lexington downed Waynesboro by the crushing score of 37-0. The Lexington team played a great game against Clifton Forge but they were overpowered by the larger team and lost 2 5-7. Our final game was with Vinton. We lost this 14-7. The usual starting line-up was as follows: Smith Davis Hutcheson Williams (Capt.) Brown Faison, G. Nuckols Irby Read Donald Swink, J. Right End Right Tackle Right Guard Center Left Guard Left Tackle Left End Lullback Left Halfback Right Half-Back Quarterback Back Row — McDaniel, Clemmer, Kinkaid Front Row — Mrs. Coleman (coach), Gillock, Williams, Crawford, Cobb, Woodward, Deaver Girls’ Basketball, 1936 Elizabeth Crawford Captain Nell Deaver Manager Mrs. Coleman Coach When practice started this year, only four of last year’s squad were available, and soon afterward it was with regret that we lost Marie John- son. However, such a large interest was shown by the Freshmen that a fine team was built up under the excellent instruction of Mrs. Coleman. She was formerly a councilor at Camp Okahawis in Goshen Pass and is an extremely capable coach. The season opened on October 23 playing Effinger. This time the game ended 17-7 in Lexington’s favor. On November 4, we played Goshen and were defeated 33-8. Our next game on November 7, showed improvement and we gave the Bueny Belles” a tumble, the score for Lexington 28 and Buena Vista 13. On November 12, after two hard games, we played Brownsburg and we were defeated 44-13. Effinger returned to play us on December 13, when they almost won, but Lexington showed a fighting spirit” and came through 19-17. December 17 marked our greatest victory and offset our defeat by Brownsburg. We played Clifton Forge and the score 27-4 in our favor, tells the story. On December 19, we closed our season by playing Natural Br idge. We were defeated 27-16. Of the seven games we played we won four, scoring 126 points to that of 145 of our opponents. Mrs. John P. Ackerly, Jr. and Miss Martha Brame of the Fairfield faculty were referees. It is with deep regret that we say farewell to the members of our team who are leaving us. It will be hard to fill the places of our captain, Elizabeth Crawford, and our manager, Mutt” Deaver. Regular line-up: Guards: Nell Deaver, Hester Anne Woodward. Forwards: Mary Gillock, Elizabeth Crawford. Side Center: Marie Cobb. Jumping Center: Lorine Williams. Substitutes: Marjorie Clemmer, May Kinkaid, Crystal McDaniel, Helen Williamson. Back Row — Read, (manager), Brown, Irby, Tolley, Hutcheson, Woodson, (coach) Front Row — Swink, C., Smith, Morgan, Swink, J., Goforth Boys’ Basketball, 1936 Morgan Read Woodson Captain Manager Coach When practice started for basketball this year about fifteen report- ed. Among these were four letter-men from last year: Morgan, J. Swink, R. Smith and J. Brown. The prospects for a good team were very good but again hard luck hit our team. In six out of fifteen games there were at least two regulars out of the line-up. Accounting for this, the team had a very good season, winning five out of fifteen games. Coach Woodson expects great things next year as there is only one regular graduating. The most outstanding players this year were Smith, Morgan and John Swink. 38 21 Lexington Lexington 15 Lexington 12 Lexington 27 Lexington 14 Lexington 13 Lexington 38 Lexington 19 Lexington 28 Lexington 28 Lexington 2 5 Lexington 16 Lexington 16 Lexington 31 Lexington 20 Lexington 28 (Extra Lexington 15 (Extra Lexington 19 Effinger Natural Bridge 17 Bedford 32 Bedford 29 Staunton 31 Staunton 2 5 Covington 20 Covington 17 Buchanan 31 Buchanan 27 V.

Baseball Baseball has fair prospects this year since there are six letter men back: Irby, Swink, Williams, Davidson, Showalter and Smith. In- cluding these, eighteen men have reported for practice. No captain has been elected, but Pete” Agnor, the manager, is kept quite busy chasing balls. Games have been scheduled with the following schools: Buena Vista, Covington, Fairfield, Glasgow, Clifton Forge, and V. E. S. The season will begin the eighth of April. Organizations Carl Miller, President Student Government Student government in Lexington High School has begun to take on a new aspect. The development of our Honor System has not been rapid; instead it has been carefully planned and aided by the Executive Committees throughout the years. The Executive Committee is composed of nine members: a President, elected by the entire Student Body, and a boy and girl from each of the four classes, elected by their respective classes. The Honor System not only maintains justice and teaches the stu- dents the necessity of conduct befiitting ladies and gentlemen, but it also fits the students to take part in the government and to recognize the qualities of true leadership in later life. The greatest accomplishment of the Executive Committee this year was the addition of an amendment to our Constitution. In the amend- ment there are provisions for the election of the President of the Student Body, the basing of eligibility for membership on the Executive Com- mittee on scholastic standing, and the establishment of a closer relation- ship and a system of co-operation between the faculty and the Executive Committee. These changes were needed for the correction of certain undesirable practices which have crept into our Honor System, and it is the sincere hope of the Committee that this amendment will prove to be the cor- rect remedy for the conditions, and will make our Honor System an or- ganization of which the school may be justly proud. We leave, to those who remain after us, the task of maintaining justice, honorable conduct, and higher ideals in Lexington High School.

Girls’ Monogram Club Elizabeth Crawford President Esten Cooke Secretary-Treasurer Miss Mary Hamilton Sponsor The object of the Girls’ Monogram Club is to maintain interest in girls’ athletics in the High School. T he greatest achievement of the Club occurred last spring when a tennis tournament was held. About three days were devoted to coaching those who were inexperienced and then the tournament was played off in the regular order. There were about twenty-four contestants and the preliminary matches took five days. The runner-up was Nell Deaver and the final winner, Marie Johnson, was presented a silver cup by the club. The membership of the Girls’ Monogram Club has increased from seven to twelve. The newcomers are all freshmen and are expected to uphold the spirit of the club during the next four years.

A climax in the history of the club this year was reached when a banquet was held on Valentine’s Day. Mrs. H. Waddell, Miss Borden, and Miss Penick were guests. A program will be prepared for the assembly in April.

This has been accomplished, to a large extent, in the assemblies presented two or three times a week throughout the year. This year, for the most part, our programs have been unusually in- structive. Either from well-informed speakers, or through programs presented as class projects, we have learned a great deal about geology, astronomy, the Ethiopian country and people, the Philippine Islands and our country’s problems in dealing with them, the history of the Supreme Court, safety on the highways, and patriotism, to mention only a few. We were privileged to hear a debate between the debating teams of Washington and Lee and Davidson College concerning the advisability of letting Congress override, with a two-thirds majority, the five-to-four decisions of the Supreme Court. Since this is a matter of such impor- tance in national affairs, it was well worth hearing. The Erskine College Glee Club concert has grown to be an annual event, which we enjoy very much, particularly since two graduates of Lexington High are in the chorus. The Hampton Quartet which has gained a wide reputation throughout the East, presented a program of spirituals and folk melodies. We hope that Mr. Waddell will be able to bring them back next year. Aside from the educational value of the assemblies, they pro- vide an opportunity for the students to learn to speak before an audience. It also serves as a time for us to be instructed in the use of the school, the value of education, and the use of the Honor System, by Mr. Waddell, members of the faculty, and various students. The assembly has proved to be a source of pleasure and interest as well as one of instruction to the entire Student Body. Autobiography Dedicated to one whom I Constantly wished was With me to share an Unbelievable adventure. P REFACE: I often have a little time on my hands; for example, when Em horseback riding alone, or practicing scales, or lying awake in bed. But you’ve missed your guess for I do not carry a copy of the latest Reader’s Digest around in my pocket to occupy spare moments. Instead, I take out an unwritten story which I know by heart and lovingly turn the pages. It is the purpose of the account to follow, not to give when I was born and other such burdensome information, but to change that book of thoughts into writing. It contains the most exciting experience that could happen to any child and every statement is true. Sis, my aunt, had promised to take me abroad! In October the sug- gestion was made; in November it was definitely decided; in December our plans were laid; and on January tenth, nineteen thirty-three we sail- ed: Sis, Johnny (her little boy) and I. The S. S. Exochorda sailed by the Statue of Liberty, in and out among the numberless boats, large and small, that crowd New York harbor. When we went below, we found, literally, piles of letters, pres- ents, and flowers from friends. Life on shipboard was more fun than almost anything I’ve ever known. We sat lazily in deck chairs on good days and watched the gulls swoop over the restless blue-green waves. When we felt energetic, we played deck tennis, shuffleboard, miniature golf, and ping pong. On Friday the thirteenth, Johnny kicked his football overboard. His only consolation was the steward who told him that they would stop for it on the way back! Two days later we passed the Azores, but we could only see a barren rocky shoreline looming through the damp mist. Then, the morning of General Lee’s birthday, we woke and looking out of our portholes saw far away across the smooth dazzling waters the coast of Spain. It was early and the cliffs were of brilliant colors. We called at Gibraltar late the following night to let off several passengers as well as take on some. There was a huge searchlight on top of the rocks and each time it turned its beam around, I could see the imposing outline of Nature’s mighty fortress standing black and forbidding against the sky. At Marseille the next day we went with a touring party through the city and after lunch took an excursion boat out to the Chateau D’lf. It was quite a relief to get off the throbbing launch into the protection of the tiny island on which the prison was located. During the French Revolution the prison had been used extensively, and, being several miles away from the city by water, it was ideally located for one. We wound up a narrow staircase cut roughly from stone, and after the guard had unlocked the gate we went in. The tremendously thick-walled cells were built around a stone court while in the corner was another stair leading to the upper story. The cells here were much larger than the ones below for often as many as fifty prisoners had been crowded into one of them. The first abode of Edmund Dantes at the Chateau D’lf, which was on the first floor and of ordinary size, was marked with a placard. Later, when once he had almost escaped, he was changed to a much smaller one. This cell had only one window about six inches square, heavily barred, and cut in the enormous wooden door. Worst of all the ceiling of the tiny place was rounded (I suppose the curve of a football from the inside would look much the same), and at the highest point did not measure four feet from the floor. How a man could survive in such a place, liv- ing on the very scantiest rations, for twenty years is unbelievable. He dug the hole through which he finally freed himself with his hands and stamp- ed the dirt he had taken from it into the cold earthern floor. That any- one could escape from the Chateau D’lf, the place which bred fear in the hearts of even the bravest, gives the Count of Monte Cristo all the more credit. We returned to the ship and during the night, which was the only real stormy one we’d had, passed between Corsica and Sardinia. We spent a day at Naples, where the Exochorda landed. I was especially interested in an old stadium with a theater on the outskirts of the city. How the ancient Romans managed the seating of thousands and arranged so min- utely for their exit after the performance is very wonderful. The tiers of stone seats were built around the stage in an oval shape similar to our football stadiums. The stage, by some extraordinary feat of engineer- ing, could be raised and lowered. Below the grandstand were rows of dressing rooms for the actors. The place was entered by two sets of marble steps adorned on each side with statues, also of marble. The train trip up to Rome the next day took only several hours. There was a spacious terrace just outside our rooms, which were on the top floor, from which we could see the whole sunny city: St. Peter’s Dome glistening in the distance, ancient gardens, the Forum, the Appian Way — all these meant Roma Aeterna. I have since regretted a great deal that I had not then studied Ancient History and Latin. We went to the famous flower market and spent a long time exploring every nook of old St. Peter’s. Outside were a stone courtyard and a fountain around which people were feeding the pigeons. Inside the light was very dim though stained glass and golden figures adorned the church. There were many beautiful statues, confession booths, and a children’s chapel. We saw four or five boys and girls come in and pray there for a few minutes, then leave. The next day we pulled into the tiny little town of Alassio, on the Riviera between Genoa and Nice. Rising up behind the quaint little seaside town were steep hills. These were overflowing with paths and narrow, winding roads over which we often walked. Orange and lemon trees were bearing fruit in the warm sunshine although it was February. We ambled along miles of sandy beach, curving gracefully along the jeweled seaside, the waves rushing up to the boulders at rough places, swishing up gently in smooth ones. We bought numberless trinkets to bring home, not only in the picturesque shops, but also in the weekly market. When a boat would come in, all the men and boys in sight would rush down and help the owner pull it up. The hotel had mostly English people in it. They had very decided ideas on the rearing of children and were shocked because Sis let Johnny and me live there with her instead of sending us away in charge of a gov- erness. You could see that they thought we shouldn’t be allowed to run about unleashed among civilized men and women. The consternation among them was great, therefore, when we two got stuck in the lift (as they called the elevator) which you operated yourself. The hotel man- ager finally freed us, but for the rest of our stay we were always looked upon more scornfully than ever. In spite of the attitude of the English toward us, we had a delightful time in Alassio, and it was with great regret that we finally left on Febru- ary twelfth. We spent the night at Milan and had only time to see the great Cathedral there. The following day we climbed up, up, forever up, on a dinky little train that might have been built in eighteen fifty. We passed through tunnel after tunnel some of which were so long that they had to turn on the lights of the train. It took seventeen minutes to go through the Simplon Tunnel which is the longest in the world. About nightfall we puffed into Gstad, Switzerland and it was equally as small a village as Alassio. For three glorious days we coasted, skated, hiked, and watched expert skiers go skimming along over the snow at breakneck speed. Our short visit here seemed very long, happily, but it finally ended and we went down the mountains again on the little Tom Thumb train, arriving at Montreux in time for supper. Montreux is also in Switzer- land. It is at the other end of Lac Leman from Geneva and they speak French there because it is closer to France than Italy or Germany. We went with the head mistress of the hotel to the Chateau of Chillon, at one end of the town, built upon a rock immediately beside the lake. This is the prison about which Lord Byron wrote his well known poem, The Prisoner of Chillon.” We hired a guide for forty cents who showed us all around. It was snowing heavily but in my delight I hardly noticed the cold, and since we were the only ones there, we received much more at- tention and detailed information concerning all the wonderful banquet halls, bed rooms, kitchens, servants’ quarters, and dungeons below the ground floor. The next morning we again boarded the train and after a fatiguing day’s ride arrived in Paris where we lived for four breath-taking weeks in an English pension on the Champ de Mars. The most interesting thing that happened here occurred toward the last cf our visit. Before I left home Daddy had jokingly suggested that I look up his old war friend, Georges Pascal, when I got to Paris. He hadn’t heard from him since the war and didn’t know whether he was lest, strayed, stolen, or what. The telephone books had page after page of Pascals,” but I finally located one with merely the initial G”. With the help of Madame Picard, a very lovely lady who came every day to help us and to look after Johnny, I wrote a letter to the address I’d found, en francais. The very next day I received an answer from Monsieur Pascal in which he said that he was the man I was looking for and was anxious to see us. Several days later we went to his house to tea and met Madame Pascal also. I shall always look upon her with the highest esteem. She let me pick the nuts off the cake. Madame Picard went with us as interpreter and we enjoyed several very pleasant afternoons together. Once while Pascal was driving us in his car through the Bois, he exceeded the speed limit considerably and was stopped by an officer. He climbed out of the car to arrange but came back very soon. As we continued I noticed a hard suppressed expression of mirth on his face. Finally he burst out laughing and told us that he hadn’t been fined: he had given the cop a free pass to his museum! On March nineteenth we sailed from Le Harve on the City of Nor- folk. It wasn’t until the last night on board that a realization came to me. I was alone on deck for a few minutes before going to bed. The night was chilly and salt spray dashed up into my face from time to time while a white half-moon and fifty million little stars blinked at me from the dull gray sky. It was then, looking out across those endless and powerful, surging and black cold waters that I realized that a promise to take me abroad, made when I was only six, and long forgotten, had been unwit- tingly kept by the dearest aunt who ever lived. — Rosa Fletcher.
