Handsome is as handsome doesg he is and he does. Captain Leech has dis- tinguished himself on the gridiron as a hard-hitting guard and a leader. A perennial favorite with che opposite sex, Baldy has more recently concentrated his attentions on one objective, much to the chagrin of his other admirers.

Buddy is the fellow who is always running around the halls with that mischiev- ous gleam in his eye. It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Bray in his Chrysler. At holi- day time you will hear him say, Let's take a trip to North Carolina. We all know that Bray will make a success at Washington and Lee, so here's good luck to a swell fellow! JAMES WILLIAM EADS C6 D Glee Club, IQ French Club, 23 Sports Club, 25 President of Student body, 43 Executive Committee, 4, CRYSTAL Staff, 4, Hall of Fame, 4. On his broad shoulders rests one of the most difficult tasks at Lexington High School, and he has done a good job. A vivaeious leader and a dependable friend, jimmy has meant a great deal to L. H. S. and its students. Behind his official manner is a cheerful disposition and a pair of devilish eyes. So, boys, if you miss a date any time, you will probably find her in the presence of Mr. Eads.

Looking for a cute, blue-eyed blond with a wonderful personality, or a girl who will go out of her way to lend a helping hand? Then you are looking for Jane. Not only has she won the hearts of everyone at L. H. S., but also at V. M. I. and W. Si L. So here's wishing for that little Southern belle the best of everything! ALLISON THOMAS HUBERT, JR.

S. ever seems dull and lifeless you can bet your bottom dollar Pooley isn't around! Never without some impish prank up his sleeve, he is a source of con- stant murmuring among the teachers and shrieks of laughter among the students. VVe are sure gonna miss the guy, and we hope he covers as much ground in life as he covered on the gridiron. -'6l8lC'- SCOTT SHIPP HUGER, ja.

If you want to know how to have a good time at Virginia Beach and not spend any money, send your applications and 25 cents to Ole Huck. Laying all kidclin, aside, Scotty', is one of the most popular and well-liked boys at L. H. S. If you ever find him studying, it will be K. A. T.'s physics. He has also been a football star for two years. To a swell fellow . . . farewell!

DAISY ELIZABETH MOHLER ugenyu Glee Club, I, 2, 3, Home Economics Club, IQ Science Club, IQ Red Pepper Club, 2, Dramatic Club, 3, 4. Looking for a Brunette Bombshell with plenty of everything? Well, that's our Betty Bettyl' is always willing to help anyone at any time. Although she is wearing a diamond, she still has the nearby schools at heart. Herels one little gal we don't have to worry about because we know she will succeed in everything.

Who is the great musician in the class? VVhy, none other than Baxter! Although he spends most of his time on his music, he always finds time to run over to a nearby city fBuena Vista, of coursel. Could it be because of a certain blond in his short- hand class? ? ? F We can't give you a great enough send-off, Baxter, but we know you will succeed!

Want some- body to mend your socks, make ruffly curtains and bake a lot? Then ask for versatile joan, who will complete anyone's home. joan has been a real personality at L. H. S. and will be missed by everyone. CHARLES LONG MCCLUNG Charlie Cvlee Club, 4, Basketball, 4, Football, 4. Dear Ole Charlie came to us in an enormous surprise box with ribbons. Some say he's a bundle of energy, others say he's bubbling over the top with personality, and yet others say the content looks sort of empty with a few strings missing. Look- ing at all three sides of his character, we wonder if he is the Sweet Mystery of Life. But wait a minute, what about the fourth side? This side shows sincerity, good nature, willingness and ability. Hat's off to Charlie! LEON GILBERT MCKEMY Mac U Football, 3, 4, Monogram Club, 4, Aeronautics Club, 1, Boys' Sports, 2, 35 Arts and Craft, 3. Dependable, good-natured, a winning personality, outstanding in industrial arts and a tackle on the Scarlet Hurricane Eleven-that's Leon. These traits plus many others go to make Mac an admirable person, liked by all Qespecially by a certain young lady in the junior Classj. Best of luck to a swell person of whom the Class of ,4Q can be justly proud! ANNIE ELIZABETH MCNUTT Bettyn Nut Hi-Y Club, I,Secretary-Treasurer: U-Name-It Club, 2, F. H.

Do you see a crowd of girls hanging around a certain senior girl with huge, brown, mischievous eyes? VVell, that's our Betty, relating the latest news of the nearby cities Knot to mention Buena Vistal or her adventure to Bonclarken. Although Betty has many admirers, it's always Carlton. Best of luck always, Betty! at auf 15. f. I ' WILLIAM HOUSTON McNUTT Bill Big lick Football, 2, 3, 45 hlonogram Club, 2, 3, 43 Boys' Sports, 2. Who is that big, tall boy coming down the hall, towering over everyone? It's no other than Bill, the biggest boy with the softest heart in school. Although we can see Bill any night, working at the Lyric Theater, he always seems to find time to prepare his lessons and to star on the football field. YVe shall all miss your outstand- ing athletic ability next year, but we hope to look you up and recall our happy past. CATHERINE ELIZABETH SENSABAUGH CaI1zerinr Pokie iiPOCd11071fdIi, Basketball, 3, 49 F. H. A., I, 2, 41Hl-Y, 1, 2. Edd Who's that getting murdered? No one. That's only Catherine. Some one around has a mouse. Though 'lPokie is afraid of mice, she really is a wonderful person. She has endeared herself to the students of L. H. S., and she'll be greatly missed by all her friends and teachers. Though she has many admirers, the tender spot in Catherine's heart will always be filled by a certain sailor. Happy sailing, Catherine! FRED LYNWOOD SWISHER sclfrfdaa Football, 2, 3, 45 Monogram Club, 2, 3, 45 Glec Club, I, 2, Robin Hood, 2, Boys' Sports, 35 Aeronautics Club, I. From the sideline you might hear someone ask who made that beautiful down- lield block? As usual the answer would be Dick', Swisher-that little guard who has been on the team for the past four years. Fred, with his winning smile and foot- ball ability, has won the hearts of all at L. H. S. and will certainly be missed in the years to come. We are all rooting for you and know you will succeed in your business career! ANN ELIZABETH TURNER .1lnn Glee Club, 4. Ann is the little,blond senior who came to us from one of those big schools in Richmond. She has readily adapted herself to ht our small school and has made quite a few lasting friends among us. She is especially admired by one person whose shade of hair is one of our school colors. Time and space does not permit us to say what we think of this great gal, so best of luck to you at Madison, Ann! -'il 11 lif- .44 - , , ,,, gi - 1 J?

K'Spud is the Heet-looted little wingback who has been a major figure on the football team, whose record in baseball and basketball is one we all are proud of. Aside from being an all-round athlete, he is also well known in the social circle. I am sure Spud will go far in this world and meet with success at any job he attempts, especially in radio repair. So to one line fellow we say, Ding How!

When looking for an all-around girl, you have found her in Colleen. She has .f'f!1g7ff1 brightened up the high school for the past four years and has taken an active part in all the activities. As Colleen has decided that matrimony is a good future, the 5? class wishes for her a happy and joyful life. The best of everything to you, Colleen! . y ,. eff .' , :I --Q . . Q5 V , K f l ,.

H. S. Perhaps inasmuch as we were small, both in number and in size, the quaking and shaking of our knees was not too noticeable as we wandered here and there through the strange, new halls vainly searching for our classes. As time went on, with the aid of Mrs. Law, we gradually became familiar with our new home and even took our place in its student government. In late November we elected Pete Miley president of the class and sent Norman Coffee and Colleen Zollman as representatives to the Honor Court. Annie Lawhorn and Mike jones took their place on the Executive Committee. Then came our Sophomore year and our class became even smaller. Some seemed to like the freshman class better and decided to stay there another year, and a few others left school for matrimony. With our Sophomore year came Pete back from the Navy, playing a triple metropolitan role as coach, principal and physical ed teacher. Remember the Pirates of Penzance, when we almost ran the opera out of business? We elected Colleen Zollman president of the Sophomore Class and also to the Honor Court with the able assistance of Baxter Morrison. joan Moses and Ronald jordan went to the Executive Committee. Our Sophomore year was marked by the origination of the Scarlmtter, under the able leadership of Mrs. Joyce Wasdell. Then came the day when we became Juniors and went into Miss Morrison's home room. This year we lost a few, but also a few veteran Juniors joined our ranks. Colleen Zollman was again elected president, with Baxter Morrison as vice president, and Annie Lawhorn and Betty McNutt represented us on the Honor Court. This year was marked by the arrival of a new principal, Mr. H. B. Brockwell. During the early part of our junior year some of us joined the fire fighters and ended fighting but not fires. We all remember the fine square dance we put on to raise money for the junior-Senior Party. It was a great success. During our Junior year our Alma Mater was blessed with several new teachers: Misses Driver, Wilson, Davis, Cooke and Dunlap. Near the end of the year came the Junior-Senior Banquet and dance which was enjoyed by all. Then at last came our Senior year, the year which for some of us would be the last one. Some of us have seen several senior years. Jimmy Eades was elected president of the student body and Don Leech, president of the Senior Class. Annie Lawhorn, Baxter Morrison and Buddy Bray were sent to the Honor Court. With our Senior year came one of the finest football teams that ever tore up a football field for Lexington High School. This team, helped by its excellent spirit and determination and the able coaching of Coach Brewbaker, played an undefeated season in their district. This year we again gave the Met a scare with our great production of Patience, I am sure we will never forget our Christmas Dance at the Pine Room which was one of the most successful dances L. H. S. has ever had. And so it is with mixed feelings that we, the Seniors of ,49, leave this place which has been our academic home for these four long years, and we hope that the future classes who will go through these same halls and classes will enjoy it as much as we have. You see that in spite of the pessimists who referred to us as a jinks class, we have made the grade- We ain't the best, but we'er good as the rest.', -:H 13 Ex- as 7 -J V, W :ss- f 1 4: 4 ' it Looking Forward lVell, here it is 1960 and, as I sit here in my easy chair enjoying a good pipe and a warm fire, I glance about me at my lovely home, wife and three children and I wonder what has become of all those fine characters who graduated from old L. H. S. in 1949. I pick up the evening paper and glance casually at the headlines where I see the following words in thick, black letters, Famous Physicist, Dr. James Ifads given Nobel Prize. Of course this shocks me greatly for I knew ,lim Eads when he was flunking chemistry, but I soon get over the shock and read on down the page. At the bottom I see where Congresswoman Annie Lawhorn has gone to Lower Slabvania to study the social status. Annie always was more or less a politician. Over in the left-hand corner of the page is an article which I am sure will interest you all. It says, and I quote, 'I 'Taterl Wfilhelm elected best bartender in the city. 'gSpudl' always was pretty handy with that kind of work. Well, I seem to have exhausted the front page, so I will turn the page. lVIy eyes are dazzled with a full-page advertisement for Cummings and hflorrisonls Furs of Distinction, lflumm-maybe if I go down and see those old Ubuddiesl' of mine I can get a cut rate. lNIy, herc's something interesting, right down here near the obituary column. lt seems that lVIr. Charles lXIcClung, the famous mortician, is advertising a new line of plexiglass collins. These should make a big hit. I see where that noted French professor at Falling Springs, the former Scott Iluger, has written a new, startling expose on lXfIy Six Years in First-Year French. eil 1+ iii? There doesn't seem to be anything left on this page but the stock market prices, so I will turn to the amusement section. Ah, here's an interesting bit of news. It seems that Don Leech has been offered 580,000 to make a new picture for Twenty-First Century Fox Hound Studios. I never dreamed when Doodlebug was voted the handsomest boy in school he would end up as a great screen lover. It looks like Bill McNutt, the fabulous movie house magnet, has bought a new string of theaters and I see that the next picture coming to one of Mr. McNutt's theaters is For Whom the Bulls Toil, the story of the life and loves of an F. B. I. man, co-starring Don Leech, Ann Turner and joan Moses. According to an ad there is going to be a concert tonight at the Shraddler Hall with Baxter Morrison at the piano and the following opera stars performing: John Thomas, Lily Pons and Betty McNutt. Here's an interesting article. It seems that Jane Hickman and Betty Mohler at last, after a ten-year struggle, have been admitted as the first women as V. M. I. Cadets. And now letis see what the sports page has to offer. Up at the top of the page the headlines read as follows: The Captain John Smith,s Women,s Profes- sional Basketball Team fought their way to a 158 to 67 victory last night against the Pink Breeze Team. It goes on to say that the Captain John Team was sparked by the brilliant performance of Catherine Dribble,, Sensabaugh with the able coaching of Colleen Zollman. Here is an interesting article and I quote, Passin' Pooley Hubert and Tackles Fred Swisher and Leon McKemy have been offered 550,000 per annum to play for the San Diego Rams. I expect they will wait for more money. Such talent shouldn't be wasted for a measely 85o,ooo. Well, that's about all of interest in this paper, so I guess I'll go over to play a few hands of poker with my associate in the oil business, Mr. C. J. Johnson, just small stakes, you know, S50 a chip. -BUDDY BRAY -tl 15 ig.. K H ig. I I. gg M Ejgfi .,., 553, is Q Q fi TKT THEY' 2 Hickman 1 . igifiif 11: az' V? 'gr k, wwwmmm L QEQHL5 , ij 'l 1?

BREWBAKER. . . .. .Coach The 1948 Scarlet Hurricane was well summed up in the Lion-0-Type QLions Club bulletinj, at a banquet given in honor ofthe team in these Words: We are paying tribute to the fightingest, the most sportsmanlike and spirited group of gridiron warriors who have passed through the halls of Lexington high School. 'Scarlet Hurricanef we salute you for the grand bunch of guys you are. Besides the Lions Club the Rotary Club also honored the team at a meeting. The substance of this tribute was responsible for a small but courageous group of footballers amassing one of the finest records in Lexington High School gridiron history. 14526151- When the story had settled, the Hurricane had written into history eight wins-one tie-one loss. The lone defeat came at the hands of powerful E. C. Glass in one of the early encounters and only after Lexington had battled on better than even terms for three quarters, the patient Lynchburgers penetrated the Lexington territory only twice during the first half-once to the 48-yard line and again to score on an 82-yard dash two minutes before intermission. In their own Conference, the Hurricane was undefeated and tied only by Handley of Winchester. This tie caused Lexington to share district honors with Winchester- who was also undefeated. x Highlights of the season came when the Hurricane upset the dope to defeat Covington in a bitter contest on the W. 84 L. field, I2'6, and then came back a few weeks later to defeat the Blue Streaks, of Harrisonburg, 33712, on the same field before a large Home- Coming crowd. Other sweet victories were registered over such staunch rivals as R. E. Lee of Staunton, Waynesboro, Clifton Forge-while Bedford and Wilson Memorial were taken in stride. Early predictions foresaw a hard season for the small Hurricane with chances of break- ing even being almost impossible. But never before has such a small team so completely upset the dope sheet, and in the end the name Miracle Team had been added. Lexington High School will long remember the IQ48 edition of the Scarlet Hurricane as a splendiclly organized group, well versed in the techniques of football. Each boy gave his all as an individual and as a team man. Each was outstanding in his own right, the team was made outstanding by all. Alertness, determination to win, good sportsmanship, fair play, and a never-give-up spirit is the description tailor-made for Scarlet Hurricane. Those finishing their high school football careers this season are: Pooley Hubert, Willis Rowsey, Preston Wilhelm, Ernest Cummings, Bill McNutt, Pete Miley, Leon McKemy, Buddy Bray, Fred Swisher, Scott Huger and Don Leech.

Coach With three returning lettermen and last year's Junior Varsity, Coach Brewbaker didn't have much hopes for a very good year. After a few weeks of hard work this group was ready to start their season. just as in football nothing Was expected but things hap- pened differently. The team improved with every game and even with such misfortunes as loss of two members through scholastic difficulties and others from time to time for various reasons, the Hurricane built up sufficient momentum to harrass the top teams near the end ofthe season. The calibre of the Lexington five was particularly prevalent in forcing Handley and Harrisonburg into overtimes during the last games. -'El28l5+ Carrying the major burden for the Hurricanes were: Spudi' Wilhelm Red Cum mings, Pete Miley, Robert Moses, D. Allen Penick, Tommy Baker, Pooley Hubert Charley Morris, Lurty Fifer, Lowell Hamric. Of these, four are ending their athletic careers at Lexington High School and saying good-bye to basketball. They are Spud Wilhelm Red Cummings, Pooley Hubert and Pete Miley. tl Scores Lexington .... .... 3 I-Wilson Memorial ..... Lexington .... .... I 5-E. C. Glass .,....

Though the team made a good showing, Wilson won 24 to 12. Our next game was with Clifton Forge. It was a close game with the score see-sawing. When the whistle blew, Lexington won 28 to 26. We then had visitors from Woodrow Wilson to play them a second time. This game, with a woman referee, furnished plenty of excitement, and Lexington was again victorious with a score of 28 to 20. Woodrow Wilson had lost for the first time in two years. It was the only defeat they had this year. We crossed the mountain to Clifton Forge and won a victory of 33 to 22. The girls met their second defeat of the season when they lost to the Bedford Otters The score this time was 26 to 29. 5 Harrisonburg, our next visitor, was an easy victory with 33 to I5. Waynesboro also came as an easy victory giving a score of 20 to 7. g We again went over the mountain and this time to Covington. This close game ended with a score of I2 to 8 in Covington's favor. Waynesboro was played again and beaten by a score of 34 to 20. The winning Covington team was played this time and defeated 28 to 23.

C oafh The 1948 Scarlet Hurricane baseball team, loaded with inexperienced sophomores and reshmen, had what may be termed a very successful season although the record is not too impressive. With many ofthe regulars playing their first season, the Hurricane improved ith every game and gave a good account of itself for the season. Losses from the 1947 outfit included all pitchers, as Well as many other outstanding experience during the season's play. E E rformers. This meant that most of the key men were to be new and would have to gain eil 32 lif- is Even though the Hurricane won only four games while losing seven, many of the losses were close and real battles until the end. Two games were lost in extra innings. Wearing the L. H. S. baseball uniforms for their last season were Charlie Corner and Edward Loving.

One goal, which was especially enjoyed by everyone, was the adoption of a Home Economics class in Germany. This goal was carried out jointly with the other F. H. A. Clubs in the county. Correspondence was carried on with the members of the class in Germany and two boxes were sent containing materials and sewing articles. The members of this Club also sent a Christmas box to a girl in Holland. This year was the first year the Club held a formal initiation. At this time new mem- bers received their pins and second-year members received guards for their pins. Every member of the Club had her share of fun by attending the parties and social gatherings of the Home Economics Department. '5l41l5f- 5-see' ill.4,,fs.
