We stand as one, So let the sun shine on our unity. J. K. Samples, M. S. Principal Eliza M. McHenry, B. A Mary E. Hamilton, M. A. Evelyn T. Law, B. S. Gertrude Morrison, B. S. Charles D. Murphy, B. S. Mary Monroe Penick, B. M. Lula B. Tardy, B. S. K. A. Thompson, B. S. Helen M. Tucker, B. A. Lula S. Beckner Secretary To one who in three years has led the girls to many victories, to one whose vital advice on the school paper is much appreciated, to one whose good nature and wit keep her classes lively, to one whose personality at L. H. S. will long be remembered MISS JANE GRANT With progressive attempts we, the Staff of ’52, have worked together to bring to press a Crystal we hope will fulfill all the happy mem- ories of the past year and bring to light the four years preceding. STAFF OF ’52 (1VI1VTJ PRANK SAMUEL WIGGINS “Frank” “Honey” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2; Monogram Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1; Chemistry Club 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff 4; Crystal Staff 4; President of class 3; President of Student Body 4; Boys’ State 4; Science Club 4. Who is the most popular boy at L. H. S.? Silly question, isn’t it? Everyone knows “Honey” is Lexington High’s nomination for All- American. Besides being a great athlete, Frank is a whiz in physics and solid geometry. If you don’t believe me, ask K. A. T. Frank will cer- tainly be a loss to L. H. S., but a gain indeed for V. M. I. (P. S. Florida will probably try to adopt him.) LUCY HUGER COATES “Lucy” Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 3, 4; Vice-president of Junior Class; ScarLetter Staff 3, 4; Crystal Staff 4; Honor Court, Chairman 4; Science Club 4. Are you loking for a lovely, talented girl who will be ready and willing to do whatever is asked? Why not try the Class of ’52. See? There she is — the redheaded one leaning over Mr. Thompson’s desk. Lucy’s grace- ful, easy manner and charming smile has won great popularity for her at L. H. S., and because of her winning friendliness, we know she will have much success in her future years at Mary Washington. 1 PAULINE SORRELLS CONNER “Pauline” Red Pepper Club 1, Library Club 1, 2; F. H. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; President 4. “All join hands and circle to the right”. Say, isn’t that Pauline leading a square dance group? This sparkling gal not only comes to all the dances at the high school, but you can always count on her to know a new figure or to scoot through an old one. Pauline’s activity in the Home Ec. Department shows up in her plumb delicious cakes and stylish clothes. It’s rumored that she isn’t bad at housekeeping, either! (Boys, take notice!) When Pauline leaves, it will make us all take notice, for such a wonderful girl is hard to forget. CAROLYN FLORENCE CRANE “Carolyn” Dramatic Club 3, 4, Secretary 3, President 4; Basketball 3, 4; Mono- gram Club 4. In our Junior year a bomb was dropped on L. H. S. which exploded and out flew personality, good nature, a winning way. This bombshell was our Carolyn. Although riding in a yellow jeep in a very essential past-time, Miss Crane finds time on the side to display her abilities in basketball and cheerleading. To her countless friends these ole halls are going to seem empty next year. With all sincerety we are hoping that all your dreams will come true. BETTY MITCHELL CRIST “Mitchie” Glee Club 1; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Crystal Staff 4; Basketball Assistant Manager 3, Manager 4; Cheerleader 4; Science Club 4. Mitchie!! How many times during the day do you hear that name ring out? To the few people who aren’t in the know, “Mitchie” is that cute, loquacious gal who flits from one place to the next, leaving only admirers behind. She is just one bundle ot personality that has plenty of beaux. Few people can resist that darling smile! Good luck, “Mitchie”, at the Sem and the many years after. We know you will go far. MARGARET ANN DODSON “ Margaret ” “ Dodson ” Library Club 1, 2; Red Pepper Club 1; Dramatic Club 1; Forensic Club 2. Why all the laughing? Oh, it is just Margaret pulling another joke or wisecrack on a friend or teacher. The classes have come to know and love her lively spirit, which accompanies her red top. So, Margaret we wish that in the future you will make people as happy as you have made us by your gay personality. Until we visit you on your ranch, we will just say, “Adois, Amigo, and may the best be yours”. ARTHUR JOSEPH EISLER “Artie” Glee Club 1, 2; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Monogram Club 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4, Vice-president 3, 4. Every day at third period you can see Lexington High School’s most successful businessman driving to school in his shiny Buick. Artie is also quite successful with the fair sex, and he is often seen escorting the local gals around. Bon voyage, Artie, with hopes that the oil wells never run dry. PENELOPE GRAVES “Pen” Dramatic Club 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2; Latin Club 1, 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff 2, 3, 4, Editor 4; Crystal Staff 4. When a clever joke, spiced with the speaker’s hearty laughter is heard, Pen can not be far away. Here is a gal whp is a bundle of spark, gracious- ness, and personality, rolled into one. Pen’s ability and grades are tops in the class, but tops on her list is a certain First Classman who has put her right into the “Gibson Girl Style”. Goodbye, good luck, good wishes, too (yeah, you’ve heard that old line). Let’s just say, “So long, it’s been good to know ya’. And let it go at that .... SARAH MARSHALL IRVINE “Sarie” “Sarah” “ Country ” “Sally” Glee Club 1, 2; Latin Club 1, 3, 4; Honor Court 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff 3, 4; Crystal Staff 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4. Anyone looking for a very versatile little (?) gal who is always manag- ing somehow to get everything done at the last minute? She even has a few minutes to spare for a certain cute little B. T. U. member! Well, here she is, for Sarah has had a finger in practically every pie at L. H. S. — basketball, Honor Court, ScarLetter Staff, just to mention a few. We know she will make as many friends in Kentucky as she has at L. H. S. We wish you luck in the future, Sally. GEORGIA MABREY JACKSON “ Georgia ” Latin Club 1; Glee Club 2; Dramatic Club 2, 3; ScarLetter Staff 2, 3, 4, Feature Editor 4; Crystal Staff 4. Mademoiselle Jackson arrived here from “Bally-more” just in time to say “My soul” and start high school with the rest of us. Georgia, the Geometric Kid, showed great promise during her exposition to the mystic manipulation of Arabic numbers and English letters, commonly known and dreaded as algebra. Georgia will long be remembered as the gal who stole the show in the Dramatic Club Play. Broadway, you can have your “Gigi” — we’ve got our “Gaga”! We’ll miss her, but we send her off to college with a big “Bon Voyage”. KEITH PEARSON JAMES “Keith Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, Lead in “Elmer”; “Laurel Leaf Look Down”; Football 2, 3, Assistant manager 2, Head manager 3; Head baseball man- ager 2; Monogram Club 2, 3. Keitb! Why go on? You’ve all heard him over the radio, WREL, that is. Although Keith has never gone out for sports, he has played an important role in athletics during the many seasons that he was manager for the L. H. S. football and baseball team. Lack of height doesn’t seem to phaze our James when it comes to making those countless trips to Buena Vista to pat a certain little gal’s head. Well, Keith, sound off on that radio. We’re wishing you all the success in the world. DAVID LEWIS MEADE “David Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2; Mechanics Club 4. If you are looking fo t a handsome, happy-go-lucky fellow with a lot of school spirit, you need look no farther. The Senior Class is indeed for- tunate to have such a friend in its midst. David, who will probably become a famous architect some day, has had time not only for s tudies, but also for outside activities. With his winning smile David will go on to new conquests in his chosen field. DORIS LOUISE NEELY “ Louise ” Library Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Forensic Club 1; Honor Court 3; Executive Committee 2, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 4; Crystal Staff 4. There are many cute blondes, but there is only one Louise. In her memorable years of L. H. S. this wonderful gal has lead friends and teacher alike to believe that she can and will do anything to help her fellowman. The halls of L. H. S. will seem deserted without you, Louise, but we all say from the bottom of our hearts, “Good luck to a swell gal with brains, looks, ability, and everything that makes you the admirable Louise we will always remember.” JAMES LOVING PULLEN “Jimmy “ Pulley ” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; “Patience”, “Mikado”; Latin Club 1, 2, 3; ScarLetter Staff 2, 3, 4; Mechanics 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Monogram Club 3, 4. Jimmy, one of the prominent members of the Class of ’52, is known to all not only as an outstanding athlete, but also as a capable student. Because of his dependability, pleasant personality, and ability to make friends, “Pulley” will long be remembered at L. H. S. by both students and teachers. Born with printer’s ink in his blood, Jimmy plans to make print- ing his career. We know the future holds much for him, so here’s wishing the best of luck U a very deserving fellow. MARY ANN ROWSEY “Mary Ann” Red Pepper Club 1; Glee Club 2, 3; F. H. A. 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 2, Song Leader 3, Reporter 4. The halls of L. H. S. are brightened by the sunny smile of a par- ticular gal in school. Ruddy complexion, studded with big bright eyes and surrounded by a head of golden brown hair are possessions of Mary Ann. This tall girl is a friend of everyone in school, but a special sort of friend to a certain person across the border in Tennessee. May her future bring happiness, and may all her dreams come true. VINCENT ERNEST SPERKA “Ernie “ Sperk ” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Executive Committee 1. As an athlete he’s outstanding, as a pupil he does well, and as a friend he’s tops. That’s our boy “Sperk”. What makes him tick? Well, nobody knows except “Ernie”, but he sure ticks fast most of the time. He gets along as well out of school as in school and we’re sure our little stick of dynamite will succeed. Good luck, Ernie, from all of us. ELEANOR CAROLYN TARDY “ Eleanor Latin Club 1, 2; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Crystal Staff 4. Tall, dark, dignified, that’s what a senior should look like, and Eleanor certainly fits into the picture. But wait! Peek behind those dark glasses and you’ll find a pair of brown eyes, sparkling with the thought of some new mischief they can get into. Eleanor is our French expert at L. H. S., too. She plans to become a teacher. Don’t know, though. A certain ’lil’ “Rat” might have something to say about that. Will we miss her? “Oui, Oui!” But we send her off with a big smile and a fond Adieu”. ANDREW BROCKMAN WARNER JR. “ Brocky Basketball 1, 3; Football 2, 3, Manager 4; Glee Club 1; Latin Club 1, 2; Che mistry Club 3, Executive Committee 4; Honor Court 2; President of Senior Class; Science Club 4. Having trouble vrtth a geometry or physics problem? See Brocky, Mr. Thompson’s right-hand man, for then your troubles are over. Brocky is often seen in the Crystal store or taking pictures of school activities. His scholastic ability along with good looks and personality make him one of the most out-standing and well-liked students. Best of luck to you, Brocky, in your future at Washington and Lee. Your place is going to be hard to fill. HENRY JOHNSON VERNON “Johnson Latin Club 3; Basketball 3; Honor Court 4, Vice-president; Crystal Staff; Science Club 4. Johnson, one of the brains of the Senior Class, joined us in the mem- orable year of 1950. Even though he has been with us for only two years, he has gained the friendship of almost everyone in school. Up on his arrival at school, Johnson was completely befuddled by Miss Hamilton’s English class, but to see him now, one would think he were reared on an English book. With his varied ability and great sense of good humor we all feel certain that Johnson will go far at college. CUSS HISTORY Eighth graders! Sounds small and insignificant now, but five years ago they were thrilling words to us. It meant that we had finally acquired enough knowledge to get out of Miss Nettie’s room and were actually inside the imposing walls of L. H. S. As usual, we were scared to death — eighth graders always are — when we faced the many complex problems of being a high scho ol student. Soon we learned our way around, though, and as the thrill began to wear off and our hearts had settled down to a steady pounding, we tackled the job of electing our officers. Our president was Ernest Sperka, our vice-president was Frank Wiggins, and our secretary-treasurer, Pen Graves. We were big enough to be put into two home rooms under Miss Davis and Mrs. Tardy, but we managed to get together for parties and such. This year was mainly concerned with learning the ropes of “How to Be a High School Student”, and we had lots of fun in the process. How proud we were to be able to say we went to high school! Quite a step from mere grammar school! The year’s activities were climaxed by a big class picnic at Cave Mountain Lake. This proved such a huge success, we decided to make it an annual affair. Yep, we finally made it! This year we were really in — not just eighth graders, but full- fledged freshmen. It was an important step, and we were proud of it. We let the new eighth graders know, too, that we were really on the inside track now. We welcomed into our midst Georgia Jackson, who came down from Baltimore to start her freshman year with us. This year was spent in Mrs. Law’s home room. We got our first item of business over with as we elected Ernie Sperka, president; Louise Neely, vice-president; and Jimmy Pullen, secretary-treasurer. Chuck Ritchey represented us on the Honor Court. We began to make our presence known in other channels as Major Wray, one of our classmates, distinguished him- self in a spelling bee. We were feaifully introduced to Mr. Thompson and the mysteries of algebra, and our “flat heads” swam when we realized how much we didn’t know. Some of us faced the ordeals of French, while braver souls tried Latin. Fall passed in a series of exciting football games as we cheered the team on to victory after victory, finally tying with Handley High for the district championship. The highlight of the year was the Christmas dance at the Pine Room. As you remember, girls, it was Leap Year, and you invited your escorts. Never- theless, it was perhaps the most successful dance L. H. S. has ever had, complete with a snappy floor show. “Cookie’s girls burned up the basketball court in their new uniforms this year, winning ten out of thirteen games. The production of “Patience” dominated the spring activi- ties. This was a good year as we really began to get into the swing of things. To top off the year we again had a class picnic — this time at Goshen. A wonderful party to end a won- derful year. The fall of ’49 came in with a brand n ew crop of “know-it-all” sophomores. We were back in Mrs. Law’s room again, and still going strong. After a long and heated election Louise Neely became our president, the first girl to hold that office. F. D. Tardy was our vice-president, Jimmy Pullen acted as secretary-treasurer, and Brocky Varner represented us on the Honor Court. Some of our members were making names for themselves in the way of dramatics, both at high school and at the W L Troubador Theater. That was also the year of “Laurel Leaf, Look Down”, and those who saw it will never forget it. Two of our classmates left us this year. Carter and Herndon Werth. Miss Grant came to L. H. S. to take up her duties as girls’ physical education teacher, and Miss Blain took charge as secre- tary in the office. This year was fun, too, with all the many activities, especially the never- ending square dancing. Again we had our picnic at Douthat, and the sunburns were worth all the fun we had. Golly! Oops, upperclassmen shouldn’t say that. They should act more dignified. Yes indeed, we were actually occupying Miss Morrison’s home room as real, honest-to-goodness juniors. We started out this year with a new principal, Mr. Samples, whose duty was a new one, but whose face was familiar to all of us. We lost Benny Huger, but Johnson Vernon arrived from South Dakota way to make up for it. Our officers for this important year were Frank Wiggins, president; Lucy Coates, vice-president; and Louise Neely, secretary-treasurer. We sent Louise Neely and Sarah Irvine to represent us on the Honor Court. This was really a big year for us. Our biggest project was making money for the Junior-Senior banquet, and we went all out to give the seniors something they could remember. The bake sale was fun, and if the quality could have been improved, the spirit couldn’t have been better. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Even though we have been looking forward to this for years, we hardly ever believed it would actually come to pass. Yet it did. Even now we sometimes look around us as though in a daze, blink our eyes, and in the most dignified voice we can muster, we manage to exclaim, “We’re seniors now! Yes, and what a thrilling experience! It’s been a long, sometimes painful grind, but now we realize every minute was worth it. At this point we re inclined to reminisce over the past years at L. H. S. They were wonderful years, in spite of all our griping and complaining, and we wonder what it was that made them so wonderful. There are certain things that stand out in our memories — glonous football games, dances, cramming for exams, plays — all the big things. But it’s the little things that happen in class, talking to Harry, dashing to classes, accidentally picking up some knowledge here and there. They were five years we’ll always cherish. Now we’re looking forward to graduation — the culmination of all the hopes and dreams and hard work of twelve years. After that, the future, and we hope it will be as bright as our years here at L. H. S. have been.

H. S. as the eighth grade, and now the time remaining is short; we are trying to make the best of this time and got to a good start in September by electing the following class officers: president, Jimmy Kesler; vice-president, Dora Mae Robinson; secretary- treasurer, Lawana Hayslett. Our representatives to the Honor Court are Pauline Carter and Lawana Hayslett. Maybe we haven’t done quite all we’ve been capable of doing, but it’s got to come sooner or later; so, Beware the Senior Class of 1952-’53.

Now we are looking forward to next year when L. H. S. will have the privilege of having us for its Junior Class. After much voting, we came up with the following officers: Betty Ruth Kirkpatrick, President; Betty Berkely Waddell, Vice-president; Alese Harrison, Secretary-Treasurer; and Jack Lackmann, Honor Court Representative. IRISHMEN The class of ’55 has finally completed their first real year at L. H. S. After a successful year of work and play, they are eagerly looking forward to next September when they will become sophomores.

H. S., the eighth grade of ’52 first entered the halls of Lexington High School, we felt little and leftout and scared as jackrabbits. But at L. H. S. it’s hard to stay that way long. The smiles and greetings of the older students soon made us feel a part of things. We elected Phillip Hamric, Class President; Norbert Irvine, Vice-president; Ruby Wray, Secretary-Treasurer. The eighth grade home-room teachers are Mrs. Lula B. Tardy and Miss Elizabeth Grossman.

Captain Jim Tardy Co. Captain Stuart P. Brewbaker Coach Brocky Varner Manager Wayne Such Manager Lexington High School will long be remembered for its 1951 Scarlet Hurri- cane which proceeded through its entire season undefeated and untied. Early predictions gave only chances of breaking even, but from the beginning the “Big Red” boarded the victory train and never knew the taste of defeat. The team was well summed up in the Lions Club bulletin at a banquet in honor of these cham- pions in these words: “starting off the season, the team was expected at most to have only a fair season. They clicked from the opening whistle of the first game and have continued to grind the opposition down. Not exactly a team of heavyweights, the team has had to rely on speed and deception plus a generous coaching job by Stuart (Pete) Brewbaker have brought fame to the team and our town. As Lions we salute you 1951 Scarlet Hurricane and Pete Brewbaker.” The team was also honored by banquets given by the Rotary Club and Nuckols Dairy. Lexington opened its season on September 21 by coasting to an easy 40-6 victory over Valley High of Hot Springs. The Hurricane stuck to its ground attack during most of the game and quite a few reserves saw action for most of the contest. The game was highlighted by runs of 40 yards by Ernie Sperka and 80 vards by Frank Wiggins. Others showing in the scoring were Spencer, Ham- ric and Miley. M The following Friday night the Hurricane downed their country cousins from Nat- ural Bridge, 20-6. Lexington struck early in the first quarter for its opening score. In the second quarter Spencer passed to Ralph Ordel on a play that covered 60 yards and the second six points. The third quarter saw Wiggins again cross the marker to end the scoring. Jim Tardy played an outstanding game in the line. In their third game of the year the Hurricane outclassed a much heavier Winchester team 21-0. Lexington struck in the first th r ee periods for scores with Dod and Spencer sharing the scoring honors. The Big Red played most of the game on the ground with much success. Spencer and Sperka carried the brunt of the backfield and the work- horses of the line were Ordel, Hostetter and John Mutispaugh. The following week Lexington had a very successful homecoming by rolling over Lee High of Staunton 40-0. In the first quarter, Frank Wiggins carried for 28 yards and the opening score. After the second period had begun, the Hurricane again scored. Shortly before half-time Spencer passed to Ordel on a play that covered 98 yards and Lexington’s third tally. The second half saw complete domination of the game by Lex- ington with Wray, Spencer and Hostetter crossing the stripe for six-point tallys. Next the big red team traveled to Wilson Memorial and took a hard-fought victory 27-6 with a potent running game and a fine passing attack with Ordel and Rowsev as the principal targets. Spencer carried for 3 yards and the opening score in the first pe- riod. After another score early in the second quarter, Sperka ran off tackle for the third tally. The last six-points came after a drive of 92 yards in the final period. On October 26 Lexington met the “Blue Streaks” of Harrisonburg in a close hard- fought battle with LHS coming out on top 14-0. Sperka opened the scoring in the second period after Tardy recovered a Harrisonburg fumble. The last tally came in the third quarter with Wiggins scoring around left end. The last home game of the season saw the Hurricane still in the undefeated ranks when they outfought Waynesboro 14-6. Hamric scored the first touchdown from 3 yards out and Sperka added the remaining tally again from 3 yards out. The game was played on a very muddy field and Lexington’s lightning fast Split-T was slowed up consider- ably. The following week LHS met the once-beaten Mountaineers of Clifton Forge in their hardest-fought battle of the season and clinched the District V title with a 14-0 score. Spencer made the first score on a run from the one-yard line. In the final quarter, he passed to Ordel for the remaining tally. Ordel and Rowsey played excep- tionally fine games for Lexington. The final game of the season with Buena Vista saw the Scarlet Hurricane end their clean record with a 20-0 win. Lexington had trouble getting their offense to click but three scores were pushed over before the game ended with Spencer and Sperka sharing scoring honors. The stalwarts of the line were Rowsey, Hostetter, Pullen, Nicely, Tardy, Plogger, Ordel, Davis, Mutispaugh, and Sibold while Spencer, Wiggins, Sperka, and Hamric car- ried most of the load in the backfield. Playing their last game for LHS were Tardy, Wiggins, Ordel, Rowsey, Pullen, Plogger, and Sperka.

Brewbaker Coach Tommy Spencer Manager The Hurricane cagers opened their 1951-52 basketball season with five re- turning lettermen: Camper, Mutispaugh, Ordel, Tardy, and Wiggins. Although the season was not a winning one, it can not justly be called unsuccessful. The team displayed fight and courage in most of their games even though they usual- ly bowed in defeat. Getting off on the wrong foot, Lexington lost its first game by a single point. After two wins the team dropped five straight games. Then, with Natural Bridge as the victim, the Hurricane won its third game of the season with Jim Tardy making his last appearance on the hardwood for the “red and white ”. After exams four games were lost to Andrew Lewis, Staunton, Harrisonburg, and Clifton Forge. With six remaining games Lexington will possibly make a better impression than their previous record shows. Ending their basketball career at the close of the season will be Sperka, Pullen, Mutispaugh, Ordel, Wiggins, and Tardy, who graduated at mid-term.

P. Brewbaker Coach Tommy Spencer Manager On April 6 Lexington opened its 1951 baseball season by traveling to Clifton Forge to meet the Mountaineers. The game was tied at 4-4 until the ninth inning when Clifton Forge scored one more than the three runs pushed over by the Hurricane. Ordel was the starting pitcher, but he was relieved by both Kennedy and Rowsey. After Easter holidays, Lexington met Staunton on the home diamond and finished the game with a very impressive victory. Rowsey went all the way on the mound and was backed by a barrage of fifteen hits by his mates. The score was 17-0. The next victim, Natural Bridge, was met in Glasgow. Rowsey again worked on the mound and gave up but four hits and struck out fifteen batters. Lex- ington collected ten hits in their 15-3 victory. The Hurricane met its second defeat of the year when it traveled to Hot Springs to meet Valley High. The Big Red out hit its opponents, but bowed to a 13-7 score. Kennedy went the distance for the Hurricane on the mound. On April 27, Lexington found revenge in a 5-4 decision over the previously victorious Mountaineers. Both teams collected six hits while Rowsey proceeded to strike out thirteen visitors. The following week Lexington again rode the victory train with a 9-6 de- cision over Wilson Memorial. Hamric was the starting pitcher, but Kennedy was called on in the seventh inning for relief. Both gave up seven hits as Lexington collected eleven. Two days later, Lexington traveled to Fisherville to again meet Wilson Memorial. The game was called off after five innings because of rain. Wilson was then leading 10-1. In another game, the Hurricane bowed to Waynesboro’s Little Giants 5-4. Rowsey went the distance and gave up seven hits. When the Lexington team traveled to Staunton, it was the Leemen’s time for revenge. Hamric pitched for the locals and lost a 7-5 game to the Staunton team. The following week Lexington traveled across the hill to meet their “be- loved” neighbors, Buena Vista. The Hurricane could collect but one hit in dropping a 6-1 decision to their opponents. Rowsey and Kennedy shared duties on the mound. The Hurricane dropped their second game with Waynesboro 6-1. Kennedy pitched for the Big Red and gave up a total of five hits while the locals col- lected four. Lexington took its second victory over Natural Bridge 11-10. Hamric, Ken- nedy, and Rowsey all had a part in the mound duties. The final game with Buena Vista was probably the most exciting of the season. Lexington led 2-0 through eight innings until, by some way, still a mystery to all who witnessed the game, the visitors pushed across four runs and won the game 4-2.

The guards were good, and the forwards showed improvement as the season got under way. The team as a whole, especially the forwards, were pintsized. However, they more than made up for their lack of height in hard playing, determination, and a fighting spirit that aided them in living up to their nickname of “Red Flames.” As most of the team consisted of sophomores, the future looks bright on the basketball horizon for “Miss G’s girls” next year.

New blood in the shape of a fresh crew of sophomores, freshmen, and eighth graders pepped up the team. Although this organization has celebrated only its second birthday, it has done a good job of standing on its own two feet. With good management and its apparent ability, this active team will make headlines in future school papers.

Working in cooperation with Mr. Samples and Mrs. Law, the Committee has made this an enjoyable year. The highlight of the year was a radio program put on by the Executive Committee and the Honor Court. This august group of intelligent-looking (?) students was competently presided over by Lucy Coates, chairman of the Honor Court. Besides trying cases, the Honor Court has engaged in other activities this year. Several of the members talked to the 8th graders at the beginning of school and explained student Government to them. During National Education work a radio program was presented, in which some of the Honor Court mem- bers, with Executive Committee members, took part. Of course, to climax the year’s activities of the Honor Court there is a at Miss Hamilton’s, to which all the members look forward with a great of pleasure.

We elected the following officers: President, Betty Buchanan; Vice-president, Doro- thy Crist; Secretary, Mary Ritchey; Treasurer, Tommy Davis. One result of the club’s work has been seen in the attractive bulletin board displays. Christmas brought the usual library party with old Santa himself as guest of honor. Special club programs consisted of movies on library tech- niques, and a talk by a visiting librarian. Under the capable and friendly leadership of our librarian, Mrs. McHenry, the club has enjoyed an outstanding year. DRAMATIC HUB President Carolyn Crane Vice-President Artie Eisler Secretary-Treasurer Jesse Ann Ordel The Dramatic Club and the Glee Club presented a joint Christmas pageant that was enjoyed by everyone. In January Mrs. Tracy lectured to us on the fine points of acting and producing plays. Under the supervision of Mrs. Tucker, our advisor, we put on a very successful one-act play in the Spring, With many eighth graders in our club, we are looking forward to another very uccessful year.

The meetings, very colorful and interesting, keep alive the spirit that Latin is not dead. During the Thanksgiving season the meeting pertained to Roman food; therefore, a Roman cake was made. In the course of the year each meeting, which consists of one theme, promotes interests and appreciation toward the customs, cultured background, and the dress of glorious Rome and Greece, At one meeting when the subject was Roman costumes, the members dressed dolls in Roman attire.

The purpose of this Club is to further interest in home and family life so that we might help build better homes in the future. Even though our advisor and most of our members are new this year, we have planned and completed a number of worthwhile projects. We have sent a Christmas box overseas, had initiation service for new members, made favors and cookies for the Veteran’s Hospital in Roanoke, held open house for parents, made a contribution to camp fund, attended federation meetings and had a program on parliamentary procedure. We have also held several parties in which every girl contributed to the work and fun. Looking toward the future we plan to send a delegate to the State Convention and some members to the F. F. A. - F. H. A. Camp both in June.

In fact, it has all new members this year except one. Despite its size, and the fact that there is no time set for this Club to hold meetings, its biggest project for the year was to decorate the gymnasium for the Christmas dance. Since many members of this Club are not upper classmen, and many new girls have been awarded monograms, the club has hopes of having a larger and more active club next year.

It has proved to be necessary in most of the boy’s school life. The Club’s purpose is to acquaint the boys, who participate in the Club, with the mechanical devices which are necessary in everyday life of most men. After several days at the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, the L. H. S. journalists were fired with new ideas and the determination to make the 1951-1952 newspaper the best for many years. Under the excellent supervision of their advisor, Miss Grant, the ScarLetter Staff, with Pen Graves and Jimmy Pullen as “big chiefs”, has succeeded in publishing a paper this year that has given them much satisfaction. Their hope is that the ScarLetter has been to the students of Lexington High good reading with newsey articles so that it will be a souvenir to look upon.
