MCMCXOV C.h.S. 70 Volume 39 Published By O he Students of Cexington High Sehool Cexington , Virginia As a crystal ball reveals the past, present, and future to all who gaze into it, the 1964 CRYSTAL relates the yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows of Lexington High School. A crystal ball captures all phases of existence; life at L.H.S. similarly encompasses all facets of school curriculum. This wide range of activities offers oppor- tunities for le arning not only in the classroom but in relations with others. These experiences we gain at Lexington High School will always remain with us and will serve as a foundation for our future. 2 -M ■ M i-J mil i .... trr] ■ Vi Lexington High School represents not only the brick building that consolidated Effinger High and the former Le xington High or the 595 students and well-qualified faculty, but the total image— the spirit that has grown each year. . . the increased participation in all activities. .. the growth in the general closeness of all students. 3 We remember the quiet of classrooms during a test. . . the traffic on the by-pass. . . the headlong rush to lunch... the dash to beat the bell to homeroom. . . the sulfur odor from chem- istry lab. .. the irrespressable thrill after a touchdown. .. the tingling excitement before Christmas vacation. . . the weary yawns and blank stares before exams. . . the slam of a locker door . . . the final silence of the graduation ceremony. 4 These are the memories that will go with us. It is our sincere wish that each student, by upholding the traditions of L. H. S. will strive to better himself and his school. And so, it is to you, the STUDENTS of Lexington High School, that we, the class of nineteen hundred and sixty-four dedicate our CRYSTAL. 5 3a culty page 8 Activities page 43 3a Sle of Athletics page 67 Classes page 11 6 Contents M.

Stage is set for 1963 Homecoming Dance. The Moose Lodge awaits the arrival of honored Seniors. 32 On Memoriam Dennis Vest Senior The class of 1964 includes seventy-nine members. Ours is a unique group, a product of a situation which will never exist again. There are two reasons that our class is unlike any other, past or future: first, we are the first seniors to graduate after having spent four full years at the new Lexington High School; second, we are the last class to include members who attended Effinger or the old Lexington High School in the eighth grade. With reference to our four real high school years completed in the new school, we may be called the first true grad- uating class of Lexington High School. In our first year as a class we elected Shirley Fix to represent us on the Executive Committee and Jenny Johnson for the Honor Court. As sophomores we chose Bill Gaines as president and Shirley Fix, secretary- treasurer. Chris Bosworth represented us on the Honor Court. The following year two of our number won places as student body officers; Bill Gaines became vice- preside nt and Betsy Letcher, secretary-treasurer. We chose Chris Bosworth class president with the important duties of leading us in plans for the Christmas Dance and the traditional Junior-Senior Prom. Jimmy Whitehead kept us posted on our finances as secretary-treasurer. Susan Brush and Betty Kirk McHenry represented the class on the Honor Court, with Betty Kirk serving as secretary. The class of 1964, in September of our senior year, elected Mike Claytor president and Bill Gaines secretary- treasurer. Susan Brush, Betty Kirk McHenry and Drew Lindsay filled the senior places on the Honor Court, with Betty Kirk serving as chairman of this group. Our class also had two student body officers, Jimmy Whitehead as president and Nelle McLaughlin as secretary. History November witnessed the well-attended Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the seniors, at which Susan Brush was crowned Home,coming Queen. Music was provided by the Swingmasters. After much discussion, the class decided to employ its accumulated funds to finance a trip to Richmond in February in order to observe the General Assembly in session. Several of our members this year were recognized for notable accomplishments: Chester Burgess and Bill Gaines were named National Merit Finalist Scholars, while Betsy Letcher, Elaine Batchelder, Rosemarie Benedict, Shirley Fix and Dee Joyce received National Merit Certificates of Commendation; Betsy Letcher, for excellence in English, was awarded a certificate by the National Council of Teachers of English; Shirley Fix won the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award. Jimmy Whitehead and Drew Lindsay were representatives to Boys ' State while Mary Mana Deaver, Betty Dobyns and Betty Lou Glick attended Girls ' State. Throughout their high school careers, members of the class of ' 64 have com- piled a record of numerous and varied awards, honors and citations. Upon graduation, some of us will enter immediately the worlds of business or domestic life, while others continue education in colleges. It is here that our paths will diverge, never to meet again. The course of time will draw us further apart, each along his chosen way. Yet there is one unity that will abide, one connection that time will not sunder— the class. We are the class, we shall always be the class, and therin we are bound one to another, in a kinship that will not dissolve. We have traveled a good road together. 33 Jimmy Agnor Libby Alford Larry Armentrout Patricia Ann Ayers Jimmy Bowen Chris Brothers Nettie May Brown Mary Camden Christine Capito Jean Clark Mary Jane Clark Carl Cummings Betty Dale Linda Davis David Drumm Earl Edwards Linda Fitzgerald Nancy Fix juniors Sponsor Jerry Flint Harry D.

The varsity cheerleaders ' main responsibility is to support the varsity football and basketball teams and to maintain the support of the students for these teams. Although the cheerleaders cheer only for the varsity football and basketball squads, their duty does not end here. School spirit must be increased, the varsity baseball and track teams must be supported, and the interest of the students must be built up and maintained. These are but a few of the things the varsity cheerleaders strive to accomplish. Betty Dobyns, as head cheerleader for 1963-64, led the cheerleaders in this work.
