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

Sophomore Class History Hold your hats, kids! Off we go into our second year at Lexington High. We think we're quite the stuff, too, now that we're sophisti- cated sophomores. Entering into the year's activities with enthusiasm, we gave the job of class president to Buddy Agnor, that five-foot genius of ours. Then we presented the Executive Committee with our two representatives, Elizabeth Black and joe Stanley. The Hrst semester rolled smoothly along until-horrible thought-we came face to face with exams! Most of us survived. When the Honor Roll appeared on the bulletin board, the Sophomore Class had every reason to be proud. ln the second term, classes continued in the same old way-as a matter of fact, we were in a figurative rut until some bright individual popped up with this remark in fourth period. lt happened that one dear teacher lno names mentionedlj decided that her classroom was too hot, so she expressed this feeling to the class in general. Our little genius politely replied, Yes, l think so, too. May I throw up a window? Nothing like a little humor to add some spice to life! Our class was well represented in the sports world at L. H. S. by the following students: joe Stanley, jimmy Adair, String Bean, Ernie Cauley, Eddie Davis, Sonny Lauck, Sidney Johnston and jimmy Tilson. In the late winter, the Army moved in on L. H. S., bringing a flock of new females to our class. These and other newcomers added to our activities, socially and otherwise. For the resent we shall continue our stru le toward the next P i gg step in our ladder of education-the junior Class. -j oYcE H.-xMii,ToN. 1275
