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.
