Graduation Draws Near Senior History Since our class, as we know it, came about only last year, it is possible to give only a short history of the Class of 1962. 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
