MADISON CUMMINGS President EDWARD JOHNSTON Vice-President SAMMIE WRIGHT Secretary -Treasurer It is almost impossible for us to give a history of the Class of 1961, since the class as we know it came about only this year. It now consists of students from both the old Lexington High School and the Effinger High School . At the b e g i nn i n g of the year we chose Madison Cummings, Edward Johnston and Sammie Wright to be our president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. To the Honor Council we sent Dottie Newman, Percy Sensabaugh and Edward Johnston . Our greatest reward, however, lay in the fact that one of our group, Wally Carson, was elected president of the student body . The first endeavor of the new class was the Home- coming Dance. E ue to the fact that the gym in the new school could not be used, the dance was held in the auditorium of the former Lexington High School. This year, for the first time, the prudence of a Senior Trip to Washingtonwas questionable. At the time of this writing the future of the trip was still unknown. May brought the due reward for our labors of last year— the junior class honored us with the traditional Junior-Senior Prom. A grand success, this will long be remembered by all concerned. The next star on the horizon for the Class of 196 1 is graduation. All seniors are awaiting with joy this day when we can say, We are the first alumni of tire new Lexington High School. 8
