of this latest development! But recovery came soon enough, and we have a sneaking suspicion that the junior-Senior Barn Dance had something to do with this. That was the social affair of the year, with the high spot being Miss Brame's pigtails. Last, but not least, was that famous Davidson-Stanley dogfight for the student body presi- dency. Remember? With the arrival of September, 1942, a certain dignified QFD group of individuals were to be seen around Lexington High. Who? None other than the Class of '43l Imagine us, seniors! Of course, careful consideration was needed to select one to be the leader of so important a group. lt was a tough fight, folks, but he won. Natural- ly, we mean jakel'! Our Executive Committee representatives were the same as last year. Mr. Horton took over for Pete, Mrs. Law arrived, and Miss Hamilton came back to us. We finally learned what to call Mrs. Morrison, though there's still an occasional slip of the tongue. No sooner had we settled down in our cozy little senior niche than the Army moved in, swarming L. H. S. with new females. fNo males, daggonitlj Time went on, as time will, taking with it the introduction of Physical Ed. and the Cafeteria to Lexington High, the Spelling Bee, senior theses and Frostie.'l A sudden warm spell in mid-February brought on the usual premature cases of spring fever, and a renewed interest in skipping sixth period. We were de- prived of Physical Ed. period for two days, much to our sorrow QPQ when the auditorium was taken over for point rationing of canned goods. lMental note: Now we'll have to start eating three meals a day instead of the usual sixlj First Aid Class finally ended. Right now, we're wondering what kind of a party the juniors will spring on us. Make it good, kids, 'cause it won't be long till we'll all have an active part in licking the Axis, since we are the first Senior Class of L. H. S. to actually graduate into the Army. l23l

Junior Class History Here we are! We are those big, powerful juniors that everyone is talking about. QConfidentially, we're one big bunch of devil- makers for Mr. Waddelllj Some way or another, we get mixed up in everything. Who are those high-steppin', rug-cuttin', jitterbugs seen at all dances and by all Ujuke boxes ? Right! They're juniors! A few weeks after the opening of school, the task of electing class officers appeared on the schedule. After several noisy half-hour periods, Virginia Lackey became class president with julia Lewis Smith and Blandy Clarkson as our representatives on the Executive Committee. Several months later, in a class meeting, Peggy Lee Bingham was elected class treasurer. Since the evacuation of quite a few of our class members to prep schools, our part in sports has been very little, although Earl Law- horne held down first-string tackle on the Scarlet Hurricane eleven, Mack Kickpatrick would also have held down a first-string position had he not hurt his ankle in practice. Though our athletes were scarce, we had two very good cheer leaders-julia Lewis Smith and june Reynolds. Our social life has been greatly hurt this year. All of the heart- breakers and Casanovas of this great institution of learning moved to the sunny hills and valleys of the Southland or to the great regions of winter sports in the north. We got several new additions when the Blonde Bomber, Casanova Black, Home Brugh and several others were thrown on our class. Whether it was that the other classes didn't want them or not is yet to be seen-maybe. With this, we end the history of our own 19.1.2-4.3 junior Class. May it long live in the memory of all the teachers and students of Lexington High School las if they could forget itj ! -BLANDY CLARKSON. 1253
