H. S. Through four years of toil and tribula- tion, she has helped ease our cares and make us better students. To make her girls equal in spirit and in sport, she has strived hard and long. Thus with love, appreciation and admiration, to one whom we leave behind in form, but not in spirit, we, the Class of ’41, dedicate our Crystal to MARTHA E. BRAME THE FACULTY Katharine G. Sieg, B.

This book is an attempt to present a view in perspective of the year 1940- 1941 at L. H. S. We hope that it will prove a record of pleasant memo- ries to those of us who know it well. THE SENIOR CLASS Colors: Red and Silver Flower: Red Rose Motto: He conquers who conquers himself MARY HESS GEORGE MACHERAS GLENN IRVINE Executive Committee Representative President of the Senior Class Executive Committee Representative The 1941 Crystal — Page Seven EMILY KYLE AINSWORTH “kyle” Glee Club 1-2-3-4 (President 4); Dramatic Club 2; Amateur Review 2; Echo Staff 3; Hallowe’en Party 3; French Club 4; Hall of Fame 2-3-4. Kyle, “the Russian deb,” is the most intelligently-viva- cious fern of them all. She is always ready to try out any- thing exciting, or to teach some dunce how to play bridge, except on Sunday afternoon, which is strictly “reserved for . . . !” MARTHA ALPHIN Glee Club 2; Dilettante Club 2-3-4; Amateur Review 2. Martha — neat — tall — blushing — studious. A sweet disposi- tion — good seamstress — has a great longing for a certain Pontiac — great member of the Dilettante Club for two years. ARTHUR ANDERSON “art” Baseball 1 -2-3-4; Basketball 1-2; Amateur Review 1; Freshman Committee 4. Arthur first appeared at L. H. S. in short pants. He is the youngest one of his class and has always done well in his work. He will probably appear as a “Rat” this fall at V. M. I. AUGUSTA MERLE ARMSTRONG “burpsy” “mable” Basketball 2; Library Committee 1-2; Amateur Review 2; Hallowe’en Party 3; Dilettante Club 2-3-4. A small brunette with liquid brown eyes which hold one’s attention. Whenever there is a party — or what have you — Merle usually has a hand in it. She can be serious but we mcst often find her happy-go-lucky. Ambition — Secre- tary. Page Eight — The 1941 Crystal HAROLD WRIGHT AYRES “sweet pea” Amateur Review 2; Football 2-3-4; French Club 3; Mono- gram Club 4. Sweet Pea is our Casanova — inevitably found in the midst of a group of “ferns.” All his present time is spent between the covers of an aviation magazine, because he hopes to spend his future behind the controls of an airplane. You will fly high, Sweet Pea, and luck fly with you. RUTH AYRES Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3-4. Ruth is a quiet but friendly girl. She is a great advocate of red and white and her weaknesses consist of blond hair and blue eyes and missing school for a day or so. JAMES BRADLEY “jim” Jim Bradley came to Lexington from Wisconsin five years ago and joined a small percentage of his class mates in the eighth grade where he astounded teachers by con- sistently passing all subjects. Now Jim is leaving high school with the same record. The “Hatch Club Clarion” says Jim will attend W. L. next fall. MAY ELOISE CLEMMER “E” LOISE Basketball 1; Monogram Club 1; Glee Club 2-3; Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3; French Club 4. Eloise, the girl with a smile for everyone — always will- ing to help — has a pleasing personality and the ability to make friends. Her ambition is to be a photographer. The 1941 Crystal — Page Nine ANNE PENDLETON COOKE “cookie” Echo 2-3; Dramatic Club 3; Glee Club 3-4. Sweet, affectionate, adorable and agreeable are the ad- jectives which have been worn out for this purpose. Anne may be all of these but my impression of her is: Never on time, always reading, always chewing chewing gum and more than moderately intelligent. BEATRICE CRAFT “babe” “bea” Dilettante Club 2-3; Amateur Review 2. The teachers all call her Beatrice, but we all call her “Babe.” She is one of those more fortunate girls who doesn’t have to patronize the beauty parlor. Friendly disposition — quiet — love for the Army — can’t wait to tell Leola about that last letter. GEORGE PAYTON CRAFT “payton” “burr head” Monogram Club 1-2-3-4; Football 1-2-3-4. “Burr Head” is one of those easy-going big boys with an unstable voice. With his good nature, soft-speaking voice, and even temper, he is a friend to us all. HALSTEAD McCOWN DUNLAP “hal” Dependable, good looking, neat, a winning personality — outstanding student in manual training — fondness for Har- risonburg. These traits plus others go to make up Halstead, a person of whom the class of ’41 can be justly proud. Page Ten — The 1941 Crystal DOROTHY ENGLEMAN “dot” Dorothy is one of our more quiet seniors, but we have discovered that she thinks quite a bit while being so quiet. She is an “A” pupil and her secret longing is to become an actress. KATHLEEN ENGLEMAN “kay” Dilettante Club 2-3-4; Echo Staff 3. Kathleen gets all the fun possible out of life, but com- bines work with her fun. She is noted for her good humor, and always having a cheerful smile for anyone she meets. She has made many friends by her pleasing personality, and we are sure that she will go far. JOHN MOORE FAISON “JOHNNIE” Basketball 1-2-3-4; Football 2-3-4; Monogram Club 2-3-4 (Secretary-treasurer) Library Committee 1-2; Fresh- man Committee 4; Baseball 4; Hatch Club 4. “Johnnie,” known to all around school as a good athlete — a fine sport — a regular Sir Walter Raleigh. He makes and keeps friends easily with his million dollar smile, so when you think of the Class of ' 41, you will not forget happy-go- lucky “Johnnie.” JANE FULLER Glee Club 3-4; Echo Staff 2-3; Crystal Staff 4. Jane is intelligent, witty, loquacious and a staunch be- liever that this is a woman’s world after all. It is a major catastrophe for her to be without a mirror, at least three shades of lipstick, her comb and purse. Unless she were hunting for these, she wouldn’t be the Jane we appreciate. The 1941 Coital — Patce Eleven EMMALINE GILLOCK Basketball 1-2; Glee Club 3-4; Echo Staff 3; French Club 4. Tall, slender, blonde waving hair help us distinguish Emmaline. She always has a smile for us whenever we bump into her and that smile alone is enough to make us appreciate her so much. Also it’s slightly noticeable how dreamy she is after an especially big week-end and we can usually guess why. HERBERT HAMRIC “dopey” Basketball 2; Hatch Club 4; Crystal Staff 4; Cheer Leader 4. No one will deny that Herb Hamric has done much in four years to liven up classes and study halls in L. H. S. Many an idling student has had occasion to welcome the diversion, for where there’s Hamric, there’s plenty of ac- tion, excitement, and thrills. ETTA GWINDALYN HARTLAS Basketball 1-2; Monogram Club 3-4 (Secretary-treas- urer) ; Dilettante Club 2-3-4; Amateur Review 1; Hallo- we’en Party 2; Echo Staff 3. Etta is the small fry of the senior class. She is small but efficient in everything. She loves good times — she has them too. When it comes to singing, Bonnie Baker has nothing on her. MARY HESS “barney” “MARY LIZA” Glee Club 1; Hallowe’en Party 2; Echo Staff 2; Executive Committee 4; Crystal Staff 4; French Club 4. Cute girl, you bet. You will find her most anywhere, especially at McCrums. Studying doesn’t take all of her time because she is present at our activities and tlie bowling alley. Pag:e Twelve — The 1941 Crystal GARLAND EDWARD IRVINE “slick” Echo Staff 2. Garland is better known as “Slick” Irvine by Mr. Lynch and the manual training boys. Another one of those friend- ly country boys, he is very often mistaken for his older brother, Norman, because of their close resemblance. GLENN IRVINE “whiskey” Baseball 2-3-4; Basketball 2-3-4; (Captain 4); Football 3-4; Echo Staff 3; Monogram Club 2-3-4 (President 4); Ex- ecutive Committee 4; French Club 4. Glenn, always a happy-go-lucky lad, has been one of the most outstanding athletes ever to bless L. H. S. His admirers have recently termed him “Whiskey” Irvine, and as yet we haven’t asked him how they ever thought of it. LAWRENCE IRVINE “bobby” Baseball 1-4; Monogram Club 3-4; Cheer Leader 4; Bas- ketball Manager 3. Good looking, attractive, witty, intelligent, and fun-lov- ing will introduce no one but Bobby Irvine. Bobby will never be without friends and we’re sure he will be a suc- cess in any field that he chooses. The alluring field now seems to be the Coast Guard. NORMAN WILLIS IRVINE “sleepy” Norman is very quiet, has a great sense of humor, and is consistent in his classes. Norman came in with us in ' 37 and has been here throughout the grind. He is a regular jack- of-all-trades, and he will go fa r in his work. The 1941 Crystal — Page Thirteen JAMES LEWIS JOHENNING “jimmy” Library Committee 1; Amateur Review 1; Hallowe’en Party 3; Baseball 2-3-4; Basketball Manager 4; Football 3-4; Monogram Club 2-3-4; Hall of Fame 3; Crystal Staff 3. Jimmy is well known around L. H. S. He has a unique personality, and is considered one of the most popular boys around the school. He was a member of the “sensational eleven” of the undefeated football team. His ambition is to become a farmer, so we wish him all the luck possible, at tilling the soil. ANNIE KIRK KIDD “koonah” “chicken” Basketball 2-3-4; Monogram Club 3-4 (President 4); Glee Club 1-3-4 (Vice-President 4); Library Committee 1; Fresh- man Committee 3-4; Echo Staff 2; Executive Committee 2; Hallowe’en Committee 2; Hallowe’en Party 3; Cheer Lead- er 3-4; Crystal Staff 3-4. Koonah. our girl with the “hey-hey” personality, is a true friend to all the L. H. S. students. She is an “all-around” girl, a good basketball player, an excellent alto and out- standing in many of the other school activities. ELIZABETH JANE KNAPP “red” “knapper” Basketball 1-2-4; (Captain 2-4); Basketball Manager 3; Monogram Club 1 -2-3-4; Execu ive Committee 1; Dilet- tante Club 2-3 (President 3); Amateur Review 2; Hallo- we’en Party 3; Cheer Leader 3-4 (Head 4) ; French Club 4. A lovable little redhead who is always ready to take a part in everything. When there is a gang of boys standing cut in the hall you may be sure that the center of attrac- tion is Jane. True to the saying, she has a temper that boils over sometime. LEOLA KNICK Leola possesses a broad sense of humor, but many do not know it until they become more acquainted with her. She is neat, attractive, has pretty hair and blue eyes that shine with her blue sweater, and she has a strange fascina- tion for Dodges. Page Fourteen — The 1941 Crystal ALICE MONROE LOTTS “ALICE” Dilettante Club 2-3; Amateur Review 2; Echo Staff 3; French Club 4. Alice is a real student with great ambitions of becoming a nurse. She is an all-around gal with a most pleasing per- sonality and we are sure that she will go far. GEORGE MACHERAS “GEORGE” Class President 2-3-4; Monogram Club 2-3-4 (Secretary 3); Football 2-3-4; Basketball 1; Baseball 1-2-3-4; Hallo- we’en Party 3. George, short, dark — a natural athlete, outstanding in football and baseball. George is especially neat — lover of popular music — handy with a piano. In our estimation, George has played his part well at L. H. S., both in ath- letics and in his studies. LILLIE MACHERAS “lyl” Basketball 1; Glee Club 1-2-3-4; Library Club 3-4 (Vice- President 4) ; Executive Committee 3; Freshman Commit- tee 4; Class President 1; Echo Staff 2; Hallowe’en Party 3; Amateur Review 2. Dark, bright-eyed and alluring. Her’s is a charm that combines Shalimar and a coke with a “come hither” per- sonality. Adores chicken sandwiches, has a love for the Rhumba and Conga, has ability and is capable of under- taking the most tedious task. JOE MAGEE “buck” Library Committee 1-2-3-4 (Asst. Librarian); Echo Staff 2-3 (Editor-in-Chief) ; Crystal Staff 4. Joe is the quiet, good natured fellow we have seen around these portals of learning the last four years. Joe has his hand in everything of importance that takes place in school. He has been on the staffs of both the Crystal and Echo. We will miss your friendlly smile, Joe, and good luck always. The 1941 Crystal — Page Fifteen RICHARD MILLER Executive Committee 1-2. Richard, tall, dark and handsome, so the saying goes, is one of the favorites of ’41. He has been a good student, but still has not become a B. B. (Bachelor of Bookworms) and because of that we will always be for him. MILDRED MOORE “MILLIE” Basketball 1; Dilettante Club 2-3-4. Mildred is our favorite chatterbox, especially the day after a w-on-der-ful movie. She is a good and true friend to have. Her most ardent love is for potato chips and “junk” jewelry. ROBERT MOORE “bobby” Basketball 1-2-3-4; Baseball 1-2-3-4; Executive Com- mittee 3; President of the Student Body; Hatch Club 4; Class President 1. Back in 1937, Bobby was elected president of his class and since then he has been sailing high in positions of im- portance in the school. Bobby is a likable chap and every- one is in a good humor when he is around. He intends to enter V. M. I. next year and we wish him the best of luck. MARY MORRISON “may MOTT” Glee Club 1; Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3; French Club 3; U-Name-It 1. Mary is a quiet, sweet and most industrious girl. It is really incredible to us how she maintains her wonderful sunny disposition “day in and day out.” Also we hear tell she has a remarkable knack for driving the “little Ford.” Page Sixteen — The 1941 Crystal HILAH ELVIRA McCORMICK Dilettante Club 3-4. Hilah, punctual for classes, quiet and good natured, has a sense of humor, and plays the piano very well. We can say that she is most intellectual along the mathematical line but when it comes to his ' ory, she declares that she knows nothing. RUTH NUCKOLS Basketball 2; Cotillion Club 2-3; Secretary-treasurer of Class 2; Dramatic Club 3; Cheer Leader 3; Glee Club 2-3-4. Ruth came to us as a Freshman, but then attended the Fairfield High her Sophomore and Junior years. We are glad to welcome her back as a Senior this year. She is a jolly girl, and one whom we all appreciate. LYDIA PAINTER Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Lydia, quiet, friendly and helpful. She loves dancing and football (especially V. M. I.), and has an ardent de- sire to be a first-rate secretary. Her blonde hair is the envy of many of us. MARY ELIZABETH PHALEN “ibby” Basketball 1-2; Glee Club 4. Yes, her name is truly Mary Elizabeth, but to us she is “Ibby.” She will always rank in our memory because it was she who introduced most of the fads at L. H. S. Long nails with different colored polish and rings that suit her mood are quite individualistic of “Ibby.” The 1941 Crystal — Page Seventeen LUCY SAUNDERS If you see some girl, with a nonchalant stroll, ambulating down the hall, that’s Lucy! She has a fondness for athletes, particularly basketball players. We can’t say that Lucy’s the demure type, but she is likable and has a very pleas- ing personality. No one will ever forget Lucy because she’s made her mark in these halls. ANN ELOISE TWOMBLY “twombly” “boss” Library Committee 1-2-3 (Vice-President 3); Glee Club 1 -2-3-4 (Secretary 3); Amateur Review 2; Hallowe’en Party 3; Echo Staff 3; Fren ch Club 4; Cheer Leader 4; Crystal Staff 4 (Editor-in-Chief) . Ann is the “glamour gal” of the Class of ’41. She is very fond of shiny things (brass buttons), and always has a good story to tell. Besides taking an active part in school activi- ties, she is a good sport and her naive sayings distract Miss Sieg no end. She will probably go to some Yankee school next year, but her heart will always retain the spirit of a temperamental Southern Belle. JAMES TYREE “jimmy” French Club 4. We are delighted by Jimmy’s good na ' ' ure and his al- ways prevalent bashful smile. He is a whiz in math class and fun in French class, because spelling “gets him down.” FORREST EDWARD WALKER “pig” Football 1-3-4 (Captain 4); Basketball 1-2-3-4; Baseball 2-3; Monogram Club 1-2-3-4 (Vice-President 2-3); Hall of Fame 3-4. Tall, muscular, and fun-loving are the characteristics that you will find when meeting “Pig.” He’s one of the best athletes ever schooled at L. H. S., and he captained the 1940 undefeated Scarlet Hurricane team. Forrest, with your looks and your personality, you should really be a success in life. Page Eighteen — The 1941 Crystal IRMA WHITMORE “pansy” Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3-4. Pansy, weighing ninety-nine pounds, is little but loud. She is a good sport and takes life as it comes. She doesn’t like to study but a good time is on her line and she makes a swell pal. EARL WILHELM Earl is good natured and very dependable. Although he frequently misses school and we tease him quite a bit for that, we know that there isn’t much else he misses. We have heard, however, that his one weakness is traveling to Buenie. JUANITA WILLIAMS “neta” Basketball 1-2; Glee Club 4. Juanita is another one of our jolly seniors. She is usu- ally seen driving a big, black Pontiac, and if one looks care- fully, he or she will find it full of screaming women — at least six in the back seat. However, she is not loved for her car alone, and so, the best of luck, Neta! EMILY WISE Glee Club 1 -2-3-4; Library Committee 2-3-4; Echo Staff 2-3; Crystal Staff 4. Because there has to be one like her to help keep things “ship-shape,” we shall never forget her. Tall, slender, dark, with a truly expressive face, Emily is one whom we ex- pect the best from, and one whom we know will not disap- point us. The 1941 Crystal — Page Nineteen RALPH WOMELDORF “violet” Football 1-3-4; Glee Club 3; Dramatic Club 3; Amateur Review 2; Library Committee 4. Ralph is one of our fun-loving seniors who is a very prominent member of the “Hatch Club.” It’s fun to be around him to hear his snappy jokes and his “monkey business.” Ralph is an alert thinker and can be serious when necessary.

Although the future may be foremost in our thoughts, this article is dedicated to the past. Remember . . . the year of the Florida boom, beginning of an era of spec- ulation which ended in who knows what . . . the year in which the interests of the dignified graduates of 1941 were dolls and velocipedes . . . the year that the first freshman class entered the portals of Lexington High School, the largest freshman class to this present date. Its members were torn between awe at the new masterpiece of Greek architecture and at their incredible number . . . 1927 ... In the year 1928 the “We Sing” Club was organized by four freshmen boys, which incidentally was short-lived . . . that same year ... a maple sapling was planted in hope that the spirit of the school would grow with the tree . . . the tree is dead; the spirit lives on . . . soon after this Lexington’s first librarian, Mrs. Egbert was succeeded by Mrs. Boykin . . . 1930 ... a memorable year for the High School . . . the foot- ball team, coached by Captain Ramey, won the Shenandoah Valley cham- pionship . . . (how could they have known that the class of 1941 would pass through two years in which the football team was unbeaten) . . . the dramatic club was begun under the direction of Miss Sieg and Mrs. Tardy . . . and the Junior Class presented Seventeen which was the only Junior play that has ever been presented in the Lexington High School . . . the following year the precedent of a Christmas pageant was established, which has been successful even to this time . . . the girls’ basketball team was inspired to win nine out of ten games . . . around this time Mr. Finley Houston Harlow might have been seen in the barracks at V. M. I. writing love letters to Jean of the same name, an exceedingly popular movie actress of the day . . . His contemporary, Mr. Stuart P. Brewbaker, our present day coach, who was at Roanoke College, could be seen in front of and rubbing shoulders with “Roanoke’s Own John Howard Payne” . . . the Lindbergh case caused quite a stir in the High School, and we adolescents began reading some- thing in the newspapers besides the funnies . . . that same year the impor- tance of the assembly was realized, and a page in the Crystal was set aside for the assembly write ups . . . In Germany, Von Hindenberg died and the world began to realize the significance of the name of Adolph Hitler . . . the library had grown amaz- ingly by 1933, and contained two thousand volumes which seems small to our present collection of 4,215 . . . the class of 1933 did not deign to leave the class of 1934 any money for publishing the Crystal, so a huge carnival with snake charmers, horns, confetti, and all the trimmings was presented for the Crystal fund . . . the seniors then decided that variety at graduation was not the spice of life and established the custom of graduating in caps and gowns . . . the passing grade was raised from 65 to 75 . . .

Shortly after school opened this fall, we elected Chapman Lauderdale as class president, and Garland Daniel and Mary Sue Ebeling to represent us on the Executive Committee. We are glad that our class is represented in the sports; football, by Bobby Mish and Herbert Brogan; in basketball by Reid Agnor and Sonny Blain. Some of us are probably still grieving over the loss of one of our favorite teachers. Miss Mary Hamilton, when she accepted a position in another high school. We have welcomed into our midst another favorite, Mrs. William McHenry, who took Miss Hamilton’s place. Here’s hoping we shall all cross the boundary into the great, the one and only.

H. S. with the election of the newcomer Bill Yount to the presidency, we presented Pauline Frost and Billy Latture with the jobs of Executive Committee representatives. The members of our class went out in a big way for football and basketball, with Billy Stanley and Buck Henson receiving monograms in these sports. At Christmas we helped to present an Assembly program depicting Christmas dinner scenes from some well-known novels by Dickens. Following this came the long-awaited holidays, after which we returned to school, only to come face-to-face with mid-term examinations. Most of us survived these and began the second semester of what is said to be the hardest year in high school. Now with the end of our Sophomore year in sight, we are all looking forward impatiently to becoming members of that class just around the corner.” — the Junior Class of ’Forty-two. — MARION JEAN BLAIN.

Like all freshmen we were very naive when we first came to L. H. S., but then as the year wore on, we became accustomed to a regular schedule. We took part in two assemblies the first semester. Our Constitution and Honor System were explained to us freshmen by members of the Executive Committee in two special assemblies. Quite a few of the freshmen boys were on the football squad and some played on the Junior Varsity Basketball Team. We girls joined various organizations including the Glee Club, the basketball team, and the Library Committee. It was wonderful getting here and we have great expectations for the next three years. —MARY SUE GROSSO. Page Twenty-eight — The 1941 Crystal Commercial Class Edwin G.

Each year the number of the class increases and each year we realize more and more what a valuable class we have the opportunity of taking. It has been hard to give exactly the number of students enrolled in the business class. There are a num- ber taking the entire course, and at the end of the year this group receives the commercial certificate; there are still more regular high school students who want to take just typewriting. Seven or eight of this year’s class have obtained N. Y. A. jobs that will undoubtedly give valuable infor- mation in office work. — ELISABETH LOCHER The 1911 Crystal — I’aRe Twonty-Ninc ASSEMBLIES S CHOOL has opened. Why make a dull subject undull? — so we announce School Has Opened. Mr. Waddell’s annual house warming remarks on the moral instability of the American youth have been made. We are invited to keep our noses in our books, our feet off the newly painted walls, and our trash in inconspicuous places. Excepting the white walls, and the unusual frigidity of Crystal Coco-Colas, L. H. S. is the same school it was last year. The mechanical drawing saw still sings; the democrats still want Roosevelt; the indentity of Yu-Hooty is still a mystery. The football season opens to the amazing embarrassment of Buena Vista. The cheer leaders have not yet achieved a convenient pitch for the school song — Harrisonburg having been disposed of by 26-0, we have a fair chance for another unbeaten season — For those who came in late, the subject is Football. Dr. Harry Richmond con- ducted an assembly program on what music should mean to schools — and dosen’t. We made some very novel records of ourselves “singing” which we are preserving for posterity by not playing. Vanity, thy name is L. H. S. October — The weather is as hot as the football season and female L. H. S. sits on the bleachers alternately knitting mexicana mittens and watching George Macheras (with the ball) walk across the goal line. Everybody’s red sweater is different from his neighbor’s. Registration day arrives with ‘‘God Bless America” and Major Willis Robertson’s inspiring talk on world affairs — We get out of school early to wave flags and to go generally patri- otic. Our football victory over Staunton is blotted out by report cards. The members of the senior class are being pointedly reminded that they are hurting none but themselves. October draws to a close along with campaign speeches, which are also hot and heavy. November — The thermometer is gradually dropping to the level of our intelligence. The air is thick with democratic-republican rows concerning the egg (or eggs) that hit Mr. and Mrs. Willkie. We, being strictly neutral, pass over the fact that Roosevelt won. The Republicans wish that they had bet less money on Willkie. L. H. S. celebrates its second undefeated season with a Girl’s Monogram Dance, at which the freshmen predominate. “Down Argentina Way” inspires the students to a questionable attempt at “La Conga”: Book Week is in full swing and several assemblies have been pre- sented in its honor. This week came to a very sad ending at the departure of Miss Hamilton along with a non-leaking fountain pen (a parting gift from the Junior Class). A forum was held on chewing-gum and where not to put it when you’re only half through. Thanksgiving holidays gave us more free time, for which we give thanks. While the Greeks are pushing the “Great Italian Army into Albania,” some helpless creature is being pushed out of his seat at the V. M. I.-V. P. I. game. November closes with a combination sleet and snow storm.

The 1940 Football Season Lexington’s Second Undefeated Team And The DISTRICT CHAMPIONS Captain Forest Walker Manager Reid Agnor Coach Stuart P. Brewbaker On September the first, about thirty boys reported to Coach “Pete” Brewbaker for football practice. A different system was introduced this year. Instead of putting heavy pads and helmets on the first day, Coach Brewbaker spent two weeks getting the bpys into shape by vigorous conditioning drills. Lettermen left over from last year: Captain “Pig” Walker, John Faison, Billy Stanley, Glenn Fitch, Frank Neofotis, George Macheras, Glenn Irvine, and Jimmy Johenning. With these experienced boys Brewbaker had the makings of a good team. Other men who showed great promise were: Bobby Mish, “Swee’pea” Ayres, Ralph Womeldorf, George Bane, Earl Wilhelm, Herbert Brogan, Bob Straub, Edward Henson, and William Stewart. On September twenty-seventh, Lexington met the highly touted Buena Vista team, but with George Macheras, Glenn Irvine, Frank Neofotis, and Page Thirty-two — The 1941 Crystal Jimmy Johenning running all over the field for one touchdown after another, Buena Vista was just outclassed and the Red and White triumphed easily, 43-0. The stellar play of Walker, Faison, Ayres and Brogan in the line drew plaudits frcm everyone who saw the game. Lexington met Harrisonburg on October fourth and downed them 14-6. Once again it was the running of Irvine, Macheras, and Neofotis and the blocking of Johenning that stood out in the backfield. The whole line played great ball. Lexington, playing its third consecutive game on its own field, met and defeated William Fleming on October eleventh by the score of 46-0. Although William Fleming played hard and sometimes rough football, Brewbaker’s Scarlet machine had an easy time of it. Irvine, Macheras, and Neofotis scampered about the field like three wild men, and the line was led by Captain “Pig” Walker, John Faison, Bob Straub, Herbert Brogan and Bobby Mish. On October eighteenth, Lexington journeyed to Staunton to come back victorious with the score of 26-0, but only after the Blue and White of Staun- ton had put up a terrific battle. The whole backfield stood out, while Walker and Brogan led the linemen. In probably the most dramatic and hardest fought game of the year, Lexington downed Clifton Forge’s Green wave 6-0 on Wilson field November first. In the last thirty seconds of play, with the ball resting on Clifton Forge’s twenty-yard line in possession of Lexington, little George Macheras circled left end, cut to the right and behind Johenning’s excellent interfer- ence scampered over untouched for the only touchdown of the game. In earning their toughest victory of the year the whole team played as a single unit and functioned beautifully under pressure. On Armistice Day, the Scarlet Hurricane played Waynesboro on Wilson Field. Lexington started rolling early and at half-time led 13-0. But Waynes- boro came back strong in the second half and scored twice to Lexington’s once. Macheras’ punting and running was a major factor in the Lexington triumph, while Irvine and Neofotis were also outstanding. On a sunny day in November, the date being the eighteenth, Lexington took on the vaunted V. S. D. B. team. Lexington experienced no great diffi- culty in winning 32-0. However, in all fairness it must be said that the Staunton boys played hard, clean football and never gave up! The whole team worked well together and the backfield turned in a beautiful game while the line played a hard-charging game. On November 29, the Scarlet Scourge met the Raiders of Suffolk in a post-season game to decide Jhe champion of the eastern half of the state. Suffolk pushed over two quick touchdowns in the first eight minutes of play but Lexington came back strong and with Macheras “toting the mail,” Lex- ington wound up on Suffolk’s one-yard marker. From there Neofotis took it over. The final score was 13-6 in favor of Suffolk, although Lexington out-gained them. Six seniors ended their high school football careers under the lights of Suffolk. They were: Faison, Walker, Macheras, Ayres, Irvine and Johenning. Lexington scored 215 points to their opponents 30 points during the past season.

Boys’ Basketball Captain Glenn Irvine Coach Stuart P. Brewbaker Manager James Johenning The 1941 edition of the Scarlet Hurricanes’ Basketball team had what Coach Brewbaker termed “a highly successful season.” In the first game with Buchanan, Lexington had an easy time of it, and rang up a 54 to 23 win. On December 19, Lexington met Clifton Forge’s Green Wave in Lex- ington and tamed the wave to the tune of 42-16. On January 3, Lexington traveled to Lynchburg to meet E. C. Glass High and came back with a 39-18 shellacing. Walker was the sparkplug of the Lexington attack and when he fouled out of the game the spark went with him. The Scarlets again hit the road on January 7 to play Bedford. After a hard battle, Lexington came out with a 40-30 win. Captain Irvine played great ball and led the Lexington aggregation in scoring. On the night of January 9, Lexington played host to Covington and Page Thirty-four — The 1941 Crystal came out on top 21-19. This was a rough and ragged contest on the part of both teams, and neither team could find the range. Against Andrew Lewis in Salem on January 22, Lexington faded in the last half to a team which was red-hot. Andrew Lewis took the game 48-35. Lexington nosed out Covington 25-24 in Covington on January 28. The score was 23 all at the end of the game and it went into an extra period. Covington garnered a foul shot, but Walker came back with a hook shot from side court to win the ball game. On January 31, Lexington suffered its first league defeat at the hands of Harrisonburg on the latter’s court. Lexington’s defense could not be pierced during the first half, and Lexington was ahead at the midway marker. The Blue Streaks came back the last quarter and won over a tired Lexington team 24-13. Bouncing back from their defeat at the hands of Harrisonburg, the Red and White completely smothered Staunton there, 43-18 on the night of February 4. Waynesboro came to Lexington on February 7, but went home with a 29-8 shellacing pasted on them by the Scarlet Comets. Lexington journeyed to Clifton Forge on February 11 and tacked on another win over Clifton Forge 33-13. Lexington’s offense was flashy throughout the game, while Clifton Forge could not get the range of their own baskets. The biggest upset of the season was pulled by Bedford on the 15th of February when they outplayed Lexington on its own court, 32-23. This was one of the roughest games of the season. On February 19, Lexington avenged their defeat at the hands of Andrew Lewis on the Scarlet’s court when they took Andrew Lewis into camp, 30-29, in an overtime period. Bewley Goforth made the deciding point on a foul shot . Harrisonburg tripped the Scarlet Hurricane on its own court on Feb- ruary 21, 26-15. Displaying a tight defense and a fast breaking offense, Har- risonburg stayed ahead most of the way. On February 25, Lexington experienced little trouble in triumphing over wild-shooting Buchanan, 32-17. On February 28, in the fastest game of the season, Lexington ventured home to meet Staunton and defeated them 25-12. Although missing numerous shots, Lexington handled the ball nicely and its fast break kept Staunton on the run throughout the game. On the night of March 4, a fast moving Lexington quintet took the measure of Waynesboro on its own court 36-27. Captain Irvine ended his basketball career in a Blaze of Glory, ably backed by the rest of the Red and White Club. The loss of Neofotis at mid-semester was a severe blow to the team, but Lexington carried on and did very well, hanging up a good record of 12 wins and 5 losses. The graduation of lettermen, Irvine, Walker, Faison and Moore will be sorely felt, but five lettermen will be returning next year. Those are: Captain-elect Bewley Goforth, Bill Stanley, Ed Henson, Joe Moffatt, and Reid Agnor. These boys will probably form the nucleus of next year’s ch ' b and have several prospects from the Junior Varsity.

Brewbaker Manager Joe Moffatt The prospects for this year’s baseball team are far from bright. With only five lettermen back in the fold, and only two moundsmen, Leslie and Irvine, Coach Brewbaker will probably have to turn up with another pitcher. “Bucky” Henson has possibilities on the initial sack, while little Bill Ruble and James McClung will share the duties on second base. George Macheras is on shortstop to stay, with Leslie and Irvine alternating on third, when not pitching. In the outfield, Johenning, Anderson, Walker and Faison will see lots of service, whereas Billy Stanley will probably hold down the catcher’s post. Games scheduled for this year are with some of the county schools and with Clifton Forge, and Staunton.

H. S. to mend their bad habit of defacing the desks and other school property, this year’s committee is principally carrying on where last year’s committee ended. We again had a Freshman Committee which instructed the Freshmen in the school constitution. This committee, composed of Koonah Kidd, Lillie Macheras, Arthur Anderson, and John Faison, went about their work in a whole-hearted manner, and we can now see the suc- cess that they achieved, because the students of the Class of 1944 have become true L.

Miss Elliott keeps us well posted on all French news articles, and we ourselves are scheduled to bring in newspaper clippings each Monday. Since April 1 is a national holiday in France, the French II Section had a party to initiate the French I Section. The program was conducted entirely in French, and French games were played.

We came back to a changed library this year; the old partition had been removed, creating a single large room. It was so much better that we all wondered how we got along before. Our year ' s Book Week was one of the most original yet, and coincided, by a lucky chance, with the arrival of a large new order of books. This order swelled our total number of books to 4,000. Both Book Week and the new books were in time for the first inspection by the new Parent-Teachers Association. Mrs. Boykin has informed us that the committee this year works as smoothly as any yet. Another advan- tage has been Mrs. Boykin’s release from teaching a class fifth period. Her full time is now devoted to the library and we are able to appreciate her help even more now than before. The librarians are now looking forward to their annual picnic and swimming party.

The Glee Club has been very active for the third consecutive year. We took part in a performance of Handel’s Messiah before Christmas. During Lent we participated in a performance of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. As far as is known this is the first time a high school Glee Club has ever taken part in this famous but difficult work. In collaboration with the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club gave a Christmas program in assembly. The Glee Club also gave four Christmas carol programs at different places in town. The Glee Club has sponsored other musical assemblies at various times and has sung at several church services in Lexington. In April the Glee Club gave a program for the Parent-Teachers Association. The highlight of the year is the annual trip to Roanoke to broadcast over WDBJ. This year’s trip was no exception. Our labors were rewarded when the School Board allowed us to attend a concert by the celebrated West- minster Choir. We were dismissed from classes the morning of March the fourth to hear this inspiring group sing in Washington and Lee gymnasium. We try to maintain a high standard of music and we hope that the quality of our work imiiroves a little each year.

January — Without a decent interval for the passing of our New Year’s Eve hangovers, L. H. S. again squeaks its hinges. Our first day back, Mr. Waddell holds an assembly on exams. The pupils who missed the Saturday before Christmas are being investigated. It was a REGULAR school day. The after Christmas let down is widely prevelant, but the majority of us merrily continue the holidays through the review periods. Exams are over — except for re-exams — reports — need we say more? February — The first real work of the year has commenced. Assignments are doubly hard and doubly long and done. Valentine’s Day is just one day deducted from 180. The first Latin Week Program in the history of the school was presented. Dr. Shelley explained to us “Why Latin is not a Dead Lan- guage.” Jimmy Johenning’s and Glenn Fitch’s gossip column is getting uncomfortably pointed. We are tired of the dispute that the popular song writers are having with the broadcasting companies. We are also tired of having nothing but “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair” to whistle in the halls between classes. Since the whole student body knows that it will rain in April and shine in May, we conclude the last chapter of the weather reports for the year. Fifty three — The 1941 Crystal cAcknowledgments should like to thank everyone who has {Jly co-operated with us and helped us to make the Crystal a success. We are indebted to Miss Sieg, Mrs. McHenry, Miss Adair and Mrs. Tardy for their corrections and sugges- tions. Mr. Thompson has rendered his usual invaluable assistance. We are grateful to the different school organizations and to members of the typing class, Eddie Adair in particular, who have given a great deal of their time to this annual. • .
