S. 68 VOLUME 37 Published by the Students of Lexington High School Lexington, Virginia Foreword We, of the 1962 CRYSTAL staff, have attempted to picture life at Lexington High School as would a real crystal, each face of which presents a different image of an entirety. Each section of this book shows a different side of school life, whether it be classes, clubs, or athletics. Each is important in itself and serves to produce well-rounded students. However, just as one face of a crystal does not accurately present the whole view, no one phase of school activity can represent the whole picture. We hope that you will enjoy this book, and will, when you look at it in the future, remember not just one face, but the total view, formed by putting all the faces together, of Lexington High School in the year 1961-1962. 2 Table of Contents FACULTY Page 6 CLASSES Page 9 ORGANIZATIONS Page 35 ATHLETICS Page 57 FEATURES Page 67 ADVERTISEMENTS Page 73 4 Dedication To one whose good nature and friendly smiles have brightened many moments for LHS students, to one who has given patient advise and help in class and in many outside projects, we of the Class of 1962 dedicate our CRYSTAL to MR.

This is perhaps the most important view of Lexington High School, because it is the students themselves who make up the school. Its clubs, athletics, special activities, and academic program succeed only when the students themselves work conscientiously for this success. Thus we begin with our five classes, the largest enrollment in the history of Lexington High School.

It now consists of students from both the old Lexington High School and the Effinger High School. At the beginning of our junior year, we chose John McNemar, Nancy Howard, and Vicki Nuckols to be our president, vice-president, and s e c r e t a r y-t r e a s u r e r, respectively. To the Honor Council, we elected Jeannie Swink and Terry Ayres. Our greatest reward, however, lay in the fact that two of our group, Herbie Chittum and Mary Donald, were elected vice-president and secretary- treasurer, respectively, of the student body . We sponsored a sock hop and a candy sale in order to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held at the Lexington Moose Lodge in May. The them e was Sayonara, and the music was provided by the Rhythm Makers . At the end of the year, Herbie Chittum was chosen president of the student body for our senior year. Class rings arrived, and we all looked forward to being seniors. Finally we attained the exalted position of seniors . We elected Jay Bennetch president of our class with Nancy Howard to assist him as secretary -treasurer. Jeannie Swink, Cathy Moore, and Bobby Simons were chosen our Honor Court representatives. To raise money for our long-awaited senior trip, we sponsored the Homecoming Dance, worked at Adair - Hutton ' s one day before Christmas, and had a candy sale. The destination of our trip is, as this is written, still undecided. In May, we expect to be the guests of the junior class at the Junior-Senior Prom. Shortly thereafter, the seventy seniors will graduate and scatter to many colleges and jobs, but will take many happy memories of our former friends and classmates with us. 24 In Memoriam GARY EUGENE WHITMORE CHARLES EDWARD WILLS As we, the class of 1962, leave Lexington High School, we remember two of our group who are not now with us. Though Gary Whitmore and Eddie Wills were taken from us prematurely, we are thankful that we had the opportunity to know two such fine boys during their short lifetimes. 25 Class Off icers Junior class o ff i c e rs Chuck Stinnett, president, and Rayma Fox, secretary -treasurer, check class infor- mation in the office.

ORGANIZATIONS Clubs and organizations are reflected in another face of our CRYSTAL. Though clubs are intended only to supplement the academic program, they are indeed an important part of school life . Through the activity of worthwhile organizations, knowledge gained in class is put to work. Clubs also develop leadership among students and provide an opportuni ty for learning to work with other people . We now show you each school organization and describe its work. Chemistry-Physics Honor Society members work on lab projects. 3 ? Officers Lead Student Body Members of the Executive Committee discuss plans for the forthcoming beatnik dance at their regular meeting during activities period. Representing the student body of 1961-1962, the Executive Committee approved dances, supervised the Christmas basket drive and the school ' s annual Talent Show, and continued the blessings at lunch and the Monday morning devotions . A beatnik dance was given by the Executive Committee to raise money to pres e ' nt a brass plaque to the school, on which there is inscribed the honor code . The Executive Committee also held an orientation assembly to acquaint the students with the judicial and legislative departments of the school. A panel of upperclassmen discussed questions raised by the student body and answered them from the Constitution. A Christmas chapel service was taped and presented to the students before Christmas vacation. The three student body officers took complete charge of this production.

Honor Court Upholds Standards This year the Honor Court, under the di- rection of Mr. Sam Johnson, has tried to live up to the standards set in the past. Its officers are Jeannie Swink, Chairman; Betty Irons, Secretary; Bobby Simons, Sergeant-at-Arms; and Chris Bosworth, Bailiff. The Honor Court held two assembly programs, one before each examination period. At the first assembly, members read from the Constitution and otherwise informed the students about the honor system and several changes that had been made. Members of the Honor Court also met with the faculty to discuss how this body could better help the court. Several changes were made in reference to punishments administered by the Honor Court, and all students were informed through an assembly. All the proceedings of the Honor Court are kept secret, and reports are made only to the principal and to the parents of the students involved. In this way, members feel they can most effectively uphold the tradition of the Lexington High School honor system. Jeannie Swink, chairman, explains some of the changes made in Honor Court regulations, at assembly before first semester exams. Seated, left to right: Bobby Simons, Jeannie Swink, Betty Irons.

Chemistry-Physics Honor Society Grows The Chemistry-Physics Honor Society, the first honor society in Lexington High School, was organized in 1949 under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Dunlap, the present faculty advisor. The purpose of the organization is to recognize those students who excel in chemistry and physics. To qualify for membership, a student must acquire at leas t a B average the first semester in.either of these sciences, and this average must be maintained throughout the second semester. A meeting was held the last of January to welcome seventeen new members into the club who had successfully met these membership requirements. The elected officers are Nancy Howard, president; Jeannie Swink, vice-president; and Anne Lipscomb, secretary-treasurer. New members of Chemistry -Physics Honor Society enjoy party given for them by old members.

This year the Dramatics Club, under the direction of Mrs. David Dickens, gave an u nus u al evening ' s performance with tire presentation of three one-act plays. This, the Teenactors felt, provided for a larger cast than the customary three-act play and thus gave more students a chance to participate. The plays were Impromptu, which was also taken to the annual play festival in Albemarle, The Happy Journey, whose success largely depended upon the actors ' ability at pantomining, and The Minor Miracle, composed of an all male cast. During Parents ' Night, members of the Teenactors took part in an introductory program, which consisted of readings from different phases of school studies. They included scenes from Macbeth , Julius Caesar , poems by Coleridge and G. M. Hopkins, as well as some compo- sitions by the students themselves.

Members also boost the cheers urging the Hurricanes to victory. This year the pep squad has approximately seventy-five members. They elected Jeannie Swink as Captain and Shirley Fix, Co-Captain. The 50 f dues were used to buy decorations for the recreation field. Working hand in hand with the cheerlead e rs, the pep squad helped in making Homecoming a success. After the traditional parade down Main Street in the pep rally, everyone was admitted to the movie, Bridge to the Sun, at the State Theatre for half-price. The half-time enter- tainment at the football game had a Spanish theme. The Queen, riding in a pony cart decorated with hand-made flowers, and her attendants were dressed as Senoritas, and Matadors escorted them onto the field. Once in the arena, they watched an authentic bull fight. 48 The purpose of the Science Club is to stimulate interest in s c i e n c e careers for members. The club also studies developments in different scientific fields. Programs during activities period this year included a lecture on radioactivity by Mr. Dean Martin, and reports on members ' projects. The group went to V.M.I. one afternoon for a series of chemistry experiments done by Colonel German. Many meetings were spent in planning for an assembly program given in January.
