Abraham Linclon The 1958-1959 school session at Lexington High School has presented many and various incidents which will linger in the memory of every student. We, the Crystal Staff, have tried to preserve these for you, especially through emphasis on our aca- demic program, a most important phase of school life. However, we feel that the additional club and sports’ coverage serves to highlight our extra- curricular activities and complete a well-rounded year. 4 SENIORS Class Officers WILLARD SCOTT President SANDRA IKENBERRY Vice-President CORDELIA RIEGEL Secretary-Treasurer 6 THOMAS HATCHER ADAMS Latin Club 1,2; Crafts Club 2; Boys ' Monogram Club 4; Scarletter 3,4; Sports Editor 3, Assistant Sports Editor 4, Delegate to SIPA 3; Executive Committee 4; President of Student Body 4; Vice-President of Class 1; Secretary-Treasurer of Class 2; Football 1, 2,3,4; Baseball 1,2, 3, 4; Basketball 3.

We were only lowly eighth graders, but even then we looked for- ward to the friends we would make and the fun we would have in the years to come. We began our first year as LHS students by electing Anne Weaver President. Tom Adams and Gail Deaver, Vice-President and Secretary -Treasurer respectively, were chosen to assist Anne with her duties. Robert Carson was appointed to be our Honor Court representative. We worked hard, and our eighth grade year passed quickly. When our freshman term began, Norma McCormick was elected President and Tom Adams Vice- President. Sally Foltz, the Secretary -Treasurer, collected dues for our fast-growing treasury. Lynne Barrett represented us on the Honor Court. As ninth graders, the privilege of joining clubs was given to us. Latin Club members Robert Carson, Sandra Ikenberry, Norma McCormick, Anne Weaver, and Betty Whitehurst represented the school at the Latin Tournament. In 1956 we attained the rank of Sophomores, and we knew that the time when we would call ourselves seniors was drawing near. This year we elected Willard Scott President, Betty Whitehurst Vice-President, and Tom Adams Secretary -Treasurer. Anne W eaver served as our representative on the Honor Court. Finally our junior year arrived when we were allowed to wear our class rings and to attend the prom at Natural Bridge in May. Besides working hard to earn money for our senior trip to Washington, we elected Betty Whitehurst President, Roger Baroody, Vice-President, and Carole Wright Secretary -Treasurer to lead us in our endeavors. For the first time we were accorded the honor of having two members of our class on the Honor Court, Anne Bennetch and Lynne Barrett. Soon it was time to begin our final year at LHS. We proudly attended our first assembly and felt the admiring glances of our fellow students, for now we were SEN- IORS! To lead us through our last year we chose Willard Scott President, Sandra Ikenberry Vice-President, and Dee Riegel Secretary -Treasurer. Betty Whitehurst, Reid Swisher, and Roger Baroody represented us on the Hon or Court. Now we worked especially hard to earn money for our trip to Washington in April by sponsoring the Homecoming Dance and the Twirp-Week Dance and also by selling tickets to a special movie. After the trip, we attended the Junior-Senior Prom as the guests of honor. Graduation time is almost here, and soon we must leave LHS. Many will attend college; others will enter various professions. Now as we say farewell, we wish to say thanks to the students and faculty, and we hope that the Class of ' 59 will remain long in your memory. 17 HALL OF Louis Wright MOST TALKATIVE Scott Weaver MOST DEPENDABLE Kay Mabry MOST SCHOOL-SPIRITED Kirkpatrick Barrett MOST COURTEOUS Adams McCluer MOST CAREFREE 18 FAME Baroody Bennetch MOST STUDIOUS Sterrett Whitehurst MOST AMBITIOUS Cauley BIGGEST CUT-UPS Crist 19 Song Saying Weakness Pet Peeve Adams Lonesome Town Censored Cowboy and Indian shows Cowboys Ayers Billy Aw , heck Plymouths Cracking gum Barrett A Certain Smile Don ' t worry about it You don ' t know?

After organizing in September, they elected class officers and chose Johnny Welsh and Emily Foster to represent the juniors on the Honor Court. In order to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom, dues for the year were set at one dollar per semester. They also had several money-making projects. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas the juniors sold tins of candy, which netted around $50. On December 19 they sponsored a very successful Christmas dance, which added more than $80 to the treasury. 21 SOPHOMORES FIRST ROW: Jo Ann Campbell, Reedy Kay Clarke, Linda Hinty, Delores Markham, Dana Sensabaugh, Sandra Hostetter, Barbara May, Jan Driver, Linda Fauber, Lewis Greene, Tommy Hartless.

Meanwhile they elected their class officers and Percy Sensabaugh as their Honor Court Representative.

The band made its first public appearance of the season at a football game on October 10, 1958. Since there was an evident need for uniforms, the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Band Boosters Club started a drive for this purpose. The group also participated in the All County Band Festival as well as all home football games and other sports ' events. 1958 was the first year the band participated in the Lexington Christmas Parade, where they played Christmas carols on a Jaycee float. The band also presented a Christmas assembly for the student body. In September a band was started at Ruffner School. This group is composed of twelve students who will join the high school band next year. 40 BOYS’ MONOGRAM CLUB KJ ' t S ' ' 1 ijM K II FRONT ROW: Reid Swisher.

Among their accomplishments have been to buy monograms for boys who earned them in sports and gold miniatures for senior members of the club. They have also given financial help to the cheerleaders by buying them new skirts. Framing sports’ pictures has been an important part of their program, as well as keeping a scrapbook of athletic events. 41 CHEERLEADERS Janice Foltz, Gail Deaver, Lula Crist, Nancy Mabry, Sandra Marshall, mascot, Betty Crist, Becky Black, Laura Dod, Betty Cummings. The 1958-59 cheerleaders were elected by the student body after participating in try- outs during an assembly. Nancy Mabry was then appointed head cheerleader by the prin- cipal. Two projects were undertaken by this year ' s squad. They sold LHS pins and later took charge of the election for the Homecoming Queen. Each student was charged five cents to vote in this election in order to supplement the cheerleaders funds. The honor of leading the Scarlet Hurricane through a victorious football season was be- stowed upon these eight girls. However, sup- port from the Pep Squad and the whole student body provided enthusiastic audience partici- pation. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS FRONT ROW: Jan Driver, Nancy Howard. Sandra Hostetter.

The privilege of joining will be extended to them in the future, however. Club members have had projects concerning either leather or metal. Some of the items made were key cases, coin purses, moc- casins, ash trays and gun cases. Students who did not have special projects worked on articles to benefit both the school and the in- dustrial arts shop. 43 CRYSTAL STAFF Carole Wright Editor Betty Whitehurst Lay-Out Editor Anne Weaver Copy Editor Floyd Kay Photographer Willard Scott Sports Editor Pete Ikenberry Business Manager Gail Deaver Head Typist Norma McCormick Typist Sally Foltz Typist Sandra Ikenberry Typist 44 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FRONT ROW: Anne Weaver, Vice-President of student body; Betty Grace Cummings, Sophomore President; Frances Mallory, Secretary-Treasurer.

In addition to executing their routine duty of trying cases, they have made posters concerning honesty in school which were displayed prior to second semester exams. Special emphasis was placed on acquainting the eighth -graders with the school ' s honor system --its purpose, its operation, and each student ' s part in it. This was accomplished through short talks made to the three eighth grade homerooms by Honor Court members. As all the members of this year ' s court had never served before, the advice and guidance of Miss Hamilton, the adult supervisor, proved invaluable in helping the group carry out its duties. 49 LIBRARY CLUB FIRST ROW: Lula Mae Crist, Nancy Mabry, Janice Foltz, Gail Deaver, Becky Black, Betty Cummings, Punky Dod, Betty Crist.

' s four-page newspaper, is published once a month. The paper was financed this year by advertisements from local merchants, student subscriptions, and a square dance which the staff sponsored. A few changes have been made by this year ' s staff including the following: one paper devoted entirely to seniors, with the exclusion of senior personalities from other issues; the exclusion of a gossip column which was replaced by other feature articles; and the in- clusion of a sports page with regular sports columns. The staff is deeply indebted to its faculty advisors, Mrs. W. K. McHenry and Mr. Edward Harlow and to the County News which prints the Scarletter. 53 SCIENCE CLUB FIRST ROW: Dana Sensabaugh, Susan Howard, David Coffey.

Their main objective was to present more than the usual one play of the year. They surpassed their hopes by presenting three plays under the supervision of a new director, Mr. Pierce Lambert. The second play, Three On a Bench” was presented at a play festival and received superior rating to further their successful year. 56 ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES Homecoming Court LEFT TO RIGHT: Mike Wilson, Reid Swisher, Nancy Howard, Frances Mallory, Darrell Cauley, Queen Lynne Barrett, Tommy Black, Betty Cummings, Patsy Nicely, Tommy Kirk- patrick, Tom Adams. 57 TWIRP WEEK Jeanne Foster (right) and Darrel Cauley (below) exhibit penalties resulting from Twirp Week of- fenses. 58 LUNCH PERIODS LEFT: Students hold typical con- ference in classroom after finish- ing lunch.

SECOND ROW: Coach Brewbaker, Dennie Brooks, Philip Patterson, Jack Cauley, Tommy Kirkpatrick, Dan Burger, Bill Hinton, Henry Hassel. Although the Hurricanes faced a terrific rebuilding job, they came from the depths of defeat to the glory of victory. The nucleus of Tommy Black, Tommy Kirkpatrick and Yodie Hamric was used to the fullest extent as Coach Brew- baker whipped the team into shape and a tournament position. Several games were special thrillers for LHS fans. The home game with Robert E. Lee High School of Staunton was particularly exciting, for although the final score was 63-58 against the Hurricane, the boys displayed great skill and spirit throughout the game. The hard-fought game at Natural Bridge clinched a place in the tournament for Lexington’s Big Red. The 1958-59 Junior Varsity under the supervision of Coach Ernest Baker showed great form throughout the season. If this group fulfills present expec- tations, LHS can look forward to a fine varsity in the coming years. 62 Tommy Black racks up another score for the Scarlett Hurricans in the Wil- son Memorial game.

Mac Brownlee finished second in the mile with Clyde Hartless coming in third. John Leary won the 440 yard dash, and Jimmy Chittum finished second in the broad jump and the 100 yard dash, which Leon Hartless won. Leon also came in first in the 220 yard dash. At the final count the Big Red captured second place in the meet. Four boys, John Leary, Leon Hartless, Mac Brownlee .and Jimmy Chittum, were sent to the State Group II meet in May where they represented LHS and District V very successfully. Leon Hartless came in 2nd for the 100 yard dash, receiving a medal for his achievement.

SECOND ROW: Coach Brewbaker, Percy Sensabaugh, Dan Stinnett, Sonny Slusser, Ted Brown, Jack Cauley, Darrell Cauley, Leon Hartless, Skip Hickman, Floyd Kay, Manager. The Scarlet Hurricane posted one of its best seasonal records this year by finishing second in District V with a 12 won-2 lost slate. The main factor for the successful season was a fine team effort with Leon Hartless, Darrell Cauley and Tommy Black playing superb ball in the clutches. The Hurricane games with arch-rival Buena Vista provided a majority of the thrills and excitement of the season. Lexington defeated Buena Vista 2-1 in ten innings, but lost a heartbreaker in the return engagement 4-3 in eleven innings, thus ceding the championship to Buena Vista Lexington 14 Natural Bridge 0 Lexington 7 Waynesboro 6 Lexington 7 R.

The LHS Scarlet Hurricane took their second District V Championship within four years as they went undefeated in posting a 9-0 slate. Under the direction of Coach Brewbaker a dark horse team surprised everyone with its lightning speed and deception. Two games especially emphasized the Big Red ' s ability. In beating Waynesboro 19-14, both offense and defense were at their best with Reid Swisher scoring all the points for Lexington. Winning the Buena Vista game clinched the championship and ended a fine season for the 1958 team. Reid Swisher scored a total of ninety-nine points, second high in the dis- trict this season. Selected to the All-District Team were Tommy Kirkpatrick, Tommy Black, Reid Swisher, and Darrell Cauley. 66 SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE FOOT- BALL SQUAD: Darrell Cauley, Reid Swisher, Tommy Kirkpatrick, Tom Black, Tom Adams.
