Life’s ever-shifting kaleidoscope -gaily colored bits and pieces of swirling brilliances blended together in countless patterns of unique personalities-formed the 1969 mosaic of Lexington High School. As the images altered, each luminous particle, distinct in individual lustre, added its special sparkle to the symmetry of the complete design. Tumbling and whirling, the tiny shapes fell into place, rearranging themselves until their pattern was perfect. 10 As the images altered . . . early morning flurries calming to a miasma of drowsy afternoon minds . . . kneeboots and turtlenecks yielding to sandals and open collars with the first breath of spring . . . forsaking classroom routine for the freedom of acting on a whim, or just doing something different . . . 11 I U- . •: M! ‘ ' J.W A i ‘ lonely . . . empty . . . buildings wait . . . to be awakened . . .

Its environment en- courages serious meditation, youthful jubliance, scholastic exploration, cultural awareness, athletic achievements, and open communication. To all those who have contributed to this environment . . . our parents, friends, the faculty and administration, the colleges and industries, and the citizens of Lexington and Rockbridge county . . . we, the Crystal staff of 1969, extend our sincere appreciation and thanks. 19 20 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY DR. FULP AND MR. KAY LEFT JUNE 30, 1969 Lexington High School was sorry to see both our Superintendents leave at the end of the 1968-69 session. Mr. Kay retired and Dr. Fulp went to Chesapeake. Both of these administrators exemplified the qualities of individual integrity and dedication which greatly benefitted Lexington High School and its operation. Their many contributions will remain with the students and faculty of L.H.S. long after their individual talents are employed in other endeavors. In addition to Dr. Fulp and Mr. Kay the affairs of Lexington High School were taken care of by a group of dedicated men. These men, The Joint Committee, led by Mr. Sam Johnson, chairman, spent many hours discussing the suggestions of our superintendents and our princi- pal. Their desire was, at all times, to give the students of Lexington an ever-increasing “quality” education which would meet the needs of each individual, of the group, and of our community. Dr. Kenneth E. Fulp B.S. Duke University M.Ed. University of Virginia Ed. D. University of Virginia Thank you Dr. Fulp, Mr. Kay and each member of the board. JOINT COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Dr. E. C. Griffith, Col. M. F. Heflin, Dr. R. N. Greenway, Mrs. Ruth S. Pultz, Clerk, Mr. Sam Johnson, Dr. Kenneth E. Fulp, Mr. Joe C. Shaner, Jr., Mr. William Harris, (not in the picture, Mr. Floyd Kay.) MR. FLOYD S. KAY Mr. Floyd S. Kay, Superintendent Rockbridge County Schools B.A. University of Richmond Two Years-T. C. Williams Law School M.A. University of Virginia Graduate Work - University of North Carolina Mr. Floyd S. Kay, Superintendent of Rockbridge County Schools since 1949, retired at the end of the 1968-69 school session. He served the public schools of Virginia with distinc- tion for forty-two (42) years as teacher, coach and adminis- trator. A partial list of his achievements in Rockbridge County attests to his dedication and his ability to forsee the needs of the schools of this community . . . consolidated schools . . . broadened curriculum . . . better qualified teachers . . . per- centage increase in high school graduates and graduates con- tinuing their education . . . increased teacher salaries . . . in-ser- vice training for personnel financed by state scholarships and the local board . . . and diversification of services. Mr. Kay with never-failing courtesy gave of his time freely, not only to his heavy duties as a school administrator, but to his com- munity as well. Thank you, Mr. Kay, for your interest, dedication, and concern for all of the students of Rockbridge County and Lexington. 23 MR. THOMPSON, PRINCIPAL, HAD TIME FOR ALL Mr. Thompson involved students, faculty, and groups composed of both in making school plans. Patience . . . Tolerance . . . Respect for Individual Needs . . . Concern for the well-being of All . . . these were the key words when you saw varied groups at work. These groups were all sizes and were found in many places — Mr. Thompson’s office, the library, the art room, in 203. Wherever they were, you would be sure to find the administration, the faculty, and the students together . . . questioning . . . answering . . . wondering . . . analyzing . . . planning . . . and offering constructive criticism. Results of these ses- sions were seen in many ways . . . renewed school spir- it .. . strengthened respect for the Honor Code . . . forma- tion of a committee to work through the summer to re-write the social studies and English curriculums, par- ticularly in the area of the contributions of the Negro to American history and culture . . . and a broadening of the role of the S.C.A. in the government of the school. Mr. Frank L. Thompson Principal A.B. College of William and Mary M.Ed. College of William and Mary SENIORS: Barbara Henderson (back to the camera), Debbie Smith, Christie Miller, Sherri Richards, and Ken Fulp make plans with Mr. Thompson. FACULTY: Mrs. Wertz, Miss Clark, Mr. Potter and Mrs. Adamson find that all problems are not necessarily serious ones. Thank you, Mr. Thompson, for giving your time and leadership in helping all of the students and all of the faculty feel that each was working for the good of all. 24 MR. BARTON AND OUR SECRETARIES WERE BUSY! Mr. James William Barton Assistant Principal East Tennessee State University, B.S. University of Virginia Fear and guilt . . . these are often the first feelings to creep into a student whenever he was called to “the office” . . . but students at L.H.S. found their visits to the office no need for alarm . . . most of the time, that is. Mr. Barton as assistant principal had a busy time in “the office” . . . “Mr. Barton, I need an excuse to get into class.” . . . “Mr. Barton, can Sandy take me home— I’m sick?” . . . “Mr. Barton, may I use your phone?” . . . “Dad- dy!” . . . Repeated visits from many different students, and one special visitor who usually left his means of transportation parked in the hall outside “the office” door. Afternoon announcements were taken care of by Mr. Barton, and his voice was often heard just before the ringing of the last bell of the school day . . . “No buses will be taken to the game tonight.” . . . “There will be no baseball practice after school today.” . . . “Mrs. Beck said not to forget the important meeting of J.V. Cheerleaders.” Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Rhodenizer were the secretaries of L.H.S. They “labored” everyday, typing absentee lists . . . counting money . . . posting books . . . checking files . . . sort- ing mail . . . finding band-aids . . . and lending extra time to students in need of envelopes, paper clips, and sometimes glue. The OFFICE of L.H.S. exuded a helpful atmosphere . . . filled with friendliness. . . certainly no student of L.H.S. had to fear the “office”. Thank you Mr. Barton, Mrs. Rhodenizer and Mrs. Owens. Mrs. Elizabeth Rhodenizer Secretary Mrs. Charlotte Owens Secretary 25 GUIDANCE-KNOWING INDIVIDUALS Mrs. Delores B. Bausum Guidance Counselor Louisiana College, B.A. Mr. John L. Umholtz Guidance Counselor Emory and Henry, B.A. Virginia Polytechnic Institute, M.S. University of Virginia Miss Morrison comes back and listens carefully to the plans of a few Seniors. Consoling “hysterical” Seniors over their class rank and their applications to various schools . . . Informing Juniors about their upcoming college boards . . . Stressing the importance of class schedul- ing to all underclassmen . . . These were a few of the responsibilities shared by Mrs. Bausum and Mr. Um- holtz throughout the school year. Mrs. Bausum was new to LHS, arriving after the resignation of Mrs. Eloise Broadneux, and came to the school in the middle of compiling class ranks, filling out college applications, and writing letters of recommendation. Mr. Umholtz knew what to expect upon previous experience with the individuals at LHS, and worked with each one in order to have an academically qualified student body . . . Miss Morri- son returned to LHS to lend a portion of her experience until all was under skillful control . . . “Mr. Umholtz, could I talk to you about dropping study hall?” . . . “Mrs. Bausum, should I apply on early decision?”... “Miss Morrison! What are you doing here?” . . . Mrs. Bausum and Mr. Umholtz worked continuously with individual records ac- quainting themselves with the different students, and aided them in making decisions for their future needs at LHS. Through their dedicated work, the student body of LHS benefitted as a whole. 26 THEY CLEANED, COOKED, SANG, AND JOKED Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Harlow, Mrs. Dale, Mrs. Blackwell, Mrs. Nicely, Mrs. Swink, Mrs. Floyd, Mrs. Smith. Mr. Elwood Harlow Whistling, always ready with a joke or a mischievous smile Mr. Harlow worked through the school year, making his presence a joy to all at L.H.S. His assistance was in demand at every crisis which affected teachers and students . . . changing light bulbs . . . fixing pencil sharpeners . . . lugging ladders through halls for dainty young girls . . . guiding students through “clean-up day”. . . making it warmer . . . making it cooler . . . sweeping floors after S.C.A. elections assembly . . . operating the grills for the National Honor Society banquet . . . helping get ready for dances . . . getting coke machines ready ... in fact anything he could do to help L.H.S. run more smoothly. “Wonder what’s for lunch”, was the inevitable question at L.H.S. If nothing else was heard on the daily bulletin which was read in first period class every morning the answer to this question was heeded. The answer to this question was answered by the ladies of the Cafeteria staff, who had the duty of preparing wholesome meals for the faculty and students. They prepared daily menus . . . sure tender steaks . . . hot homemade rolls and bis- cuits . . . hamburgers . . . cheeseburgers . . . pizza-burgers . . . prunes . . . chocolate cake . . . and even in their creativity “chicken- fried steak”. Confronted many times by playful complaints from “picky” students, the ladies displayed their cool and relied on their motto “take it or leave it” and we took it and enjoyed it! 27 FACULTY MRS.

William and Mary English, Speech, Drama Each member of the faculty added his own magic touch to this “business of teaching” by reflecting a unique person- ality . . . “honey, 1 lo-o-o-ve it”. . . “hahn?” . . . “pardon this interruption for one short announcement” . . . dissecting frogs in spite of a weak stomach . . . putting off paperwork to watch “Laugh-ln” . . . passing up “Laugh-In” to get in last-minute grades . . . without the chatoyancy of these personalities there would be no Lexington High School. “Guten Tag, Klasse!” f MR.

A new administration assuming the responsibilities of leadership student activities being supervised by the reorganized Student Cooperative Asso- ciation an examination of, and, subsequently a strengthening of the honor system these are only some of the changes which have taken place at Lexington High School during the five years that the Class of 1969 has been in existence. These memories, still well-defined because they are near, will mellow into a subtle reminis- cence of the molding of young lives. Working long hours as juniors to perfect a Prom worthy of Lexington High School each senior contributing a few pennies to make Operation Turkey a successful class project enjoying the superior feeling of having class privileges sharing the joys and anticipations that arise at the nearing of Graduation what could better unite a class than these mutual experi- ences? Although time will slip by, and many things will be forgotten, no member of the Class of 1969 will lose remembrance of the personal concern for one another which has made the Class of 1969 a uniformity of individuals.

In their struggle to find themselves, they realized the value of mutual experiences shared by each member of the Class during the years at Lexington High School. Resourcefulness came to the fore as the Class of 1970 devised ingenious money-making schemes to finance the Junior- Senior Prom. Selling Scarlet Hurricane bumper stickers . . . organizing and promoting the successful Christmas Dance . . . defeating the Seniors in the initial Powder Puff football game . . . these activities provided the funds for the annual Prom. With college board examinations looming in front of them, the Juniors began to consider more seriously their futures as responsible individuals, assuming the obligations of adulthood. Thoughtfully, they looked ahead to their last semesters in high school and pondered the years beyond with a new awareness; an awareness that they could attain higher goals because of a united effort. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Vice-President, Paul Coleman; Secretary-Trea- surer, Nell Reeves; and President, Joyce Reynolds, lead the Class of 1970 in making important decisions.

SOPHOMORES David Agnor Nannette Agnor Martha Anderson Hubert Armstrong Marjorie Atthowe Nejat Bakin Caught in a whirl of activities. Sophomores were swept into the mainstream of student life. In the midst of their high school careers they had established themselves as responsible members of the school community and had gained proficiency in their scholastic endeavors. Awaiting the title of “upperclassmen,” Sophomores found time to look back on past experiences and to anticipate the future. Actively participating in the Student Cooperative Associ- ation . . . distinguishing themselves in fields of science, English, and math . . . providing skill and experience for the Junior Varsity teams . . . advocating personal integrity through an active role in the honor system ... by the end of the year, the Sophomore class had acquired the insight to objectively contemplate that part of their lives which lay ahead. Each Sophomore realized the fundamental value of his high school career as the foundation upon which to build his future. The unified effort of the Class of 1971 to prove itself worthy of the privileges and responsibilities of an upperclass, enabled each individual to better face the challenges of life.

Aware of the part they play in active school life, the ninth graders were ready to accept the challenges of added responsibility as they gradually assumed positions of leadership. Participating in Junior Varsity athletic events . . . demonstrating school spirit by supporting literary publications . . . adding unity and harmony to Lexington High School by contributing resource- fulness and enthusiasm to club projects . . . energetically the Freshmen class plunged into a sea of activities, proving themselves to be both capable and trustworthy. Preparing for the years that lie ahead, Lexington’s Freshmen sought to strengthen their character by choosing their courses of study and citing life-time goals. An interlocking of personalities created in each individual a feeling of security at being a part of the Unified Class of 1972.

In their first real year of high school. Freshman girls outgrew their eighth grade lankiness and the boys became conscious of that stubborn cowlick. Saturday night no longer meant television; it meant dates, parties, dances. A new order emerged— “CLEAR THE HALLS— HERE WE COME!” FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Top to Bottom - Petey Wright, President; Teresa Morgan, Vice-President; Sandra Engleman, Secretary-Treasurer.

Stepping into a unique world of strange surroundings, unfamiliar faces, and difficult assignments, Lexington’s newcomers were awe-stricken but hopeful. Growing through experience . . . launching careers for tomorrow in the dreams of today . . . each making an individual effort to carve a niche for himself and for his classmates . . . inspiring school spirit with their uninhibited enthusiasm . . . because of their talent and creativity the eighth graders soon became a vital part of the student body of Lexington High School. As the year progressed, the eighth grade class found itself transformed from over 200 solitary individuals into a united body. Together they made a place for themselves in the daily routine of Lexington High School and assumed the duties of being responsible members of the school community. The eighth grade year was a memorable one for the Class of 1973; a year of growth and discovery and a realization of things to come. 83 A YEAR FOR REFLECTION Donna Hall Gregory Hall Lisa Hall Marsha Hall Sharon Hall Wanda Hall Deborah Hamilton Roxanne Hamilt on Michael Hamm Joyce Harris Patrick Harrison Gary Hartley Daniel Hassler Francis Haston Ulysses Hawkins Robert Hayslette Ethel Henderson Roger Henderson James Hickman Sandra Hickman Michael Higgins Roger Higgins Donnetta Hinton Regina Hiser “This is a class I’ll remember.” 84 Karen Hite Linda Hodges Bonnie Hostetter Carolyn Hostetter Jackie Hostetter Marilyn Hostetter Patricia Hostetter Ray Hostetter Kermit Hughes Peggy Irons Barbara Irvine Carla Irvine Debbie Irvine Howard Irving George Jackson Linda Jackson Debra Jarvis Vicki Jarvis Hughey Johnson Wilbert Johnson Linda Keller Lonnie King James Kirby Tim Knick William Knick Priscilla Lee Frank Leech Sandra Leech The classroom provides a stimulating atmosphere for discussion.

They were exuberant, compelled by a zest for activity unequaled by any other class. With them came a liveliness and intensity that did much to make a special place for the Class of 1973, both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. Tish Miller, eighth grade Homecoming representative, reflects the vivacity of the entire class. 87 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF PERSONALITIES “Hmm-it sounded pretty good when I handed it in.” Everett Smith John Smith Steve Smith David Synder Ronnie Synder Calvin Sorrells Robert Sorrells Donna Staton Sarah Steele James Stuart David Swink Denny Swink Maria Thomas Larry Thompson Larry Tyree L- A i 4 ft n= 9S fit Brenda VanNess Karen VanNess Carolyn Vess Gail Walker Robert Walls Diana Watts Delilah Weade Bob Weeks David White Pamela Whitesell Alice Williams Nancy Williams Mark Wilson Joyce Zollman 88 ACTIVITIES St 89 STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION CLUB PRESIDENTS: 1st.

I will show my loyalty to my school by being truthful and generally conducting myself properly in all phases of school life. During the 1968-69 school year polls conducted by some of the school’s groups showed that the students of LHS are proud of their Honor Code and that students feel they benefit by growing in independent action as a result of participating in an Honor Code whose effectiveness rests upon each individual student. There is also a maturing in the understanding of upholding the Code for the good of the whole school. The Honor Council enforced and upheld the Honor Code (printed above). They held an honor assembly in the fall to introduce new students to ' the Code and to reaffirm with all students the values of such a Code to our Student Body. Members of the Council were chosen by a joint student-faculty committee, and the individual members were elected by their respective classes. 92 CHEMISTRY-PHYSICS HONOR SOCIETY 1st Row: Linda McKemy, Susan Lewis. 2nd Row: Elaine Turner, Betty Littlepage, Skip Ravenhorst, Paul Whitehead. 3rd Row: Maxine Moore, Stuart Morgan, Jaye Pickral, Chris Wise, Ken Fulp, Jack Hill, Robert Wilson. 4th Row: George Thomas, Alice Moore, Eddie Fifer, Clark Graff, Gene Hostetter, David Woody, Miss Elizabeth Dunlap, advisor. 5th Row: Patrick Williamson, Fred Roberts, Mark Nelson, Danny Topping.

Sometimes the busy afternoons spilled over into nights of working, trying to meet a deadline or finish a class section. The hectic pace never seemed to let up, even though the Crystal became a full year coverage this year for the first time. More pictures, bigger pages, more pages, and more attention to our school’s story kept us busy. Eight members attended the Del-Mar Workshop at Bedford, Va. and two attended S.I.P.A. Despite the headaches of identifying class pictures, the re-d oing of lay-outs, the re-wording of copy to carry out our theme, the staff of 1968-69 had a tremendous time, with each individual supplying his own personal creativity to the final finished product, a production which is a credit to the team. Picture taking and money raising were constant activities Staff members make sure Mr. Baber does the job right. Anita and Charlie present a skit during the magazine drive. Without the aid of Mr. Potter and the Community the budget of the Crystal would have been difficult to reach, but, this year, like past years, Mr. Potter directed the magazine drive and the community responded magnificently. Thank you! This time, the staff directs and Mr. Baber watches. We have some “tough” pictures for we worked well together. 97 SCARLETTER Seated: Clark Graff, Debbie Harmison, advisor Miss Mary Lou Williams, Editor Maxine Moore, Molly Emrey, George Thomas.

This person has seven articles!” . . . “How do you illustrate a poem about the Scarlet Hurri- cane?” . . . The Literary Magazine was a publication in which the students could express themselves in poetry, narratives, and short stories. Sometimes writers were anonymous, but by their ideas, and the way in which they were expressed, these writers could often be identified. And this was the purpose of the Literary Magazine— to identify the student body through the expression of mutual experiences. “1-2-3-4-5 . . .” Seated: Christie Miller, Editor Betty Ann Littlepage, advisor Mrs. Holly Perrow.

Spears, shovels, rakes, and other needed “weapons” were used by the members of Interact last fall as they made their attack on the grounds of LHS, hoping to rid the area of unattractive debris . . . Spring time and sunny weather brought out, not only flowers, but the Interact Club— this time equipped with a water hose, buckets, sponges, rags, soap, and wax for their community car-wash which they held at LHS. Interact was sponsored by the Lexington Rotary, and was made up of boys who wanted to help their city by hard work devoted to community projects. They not only concentrated on projects around school, but also gave time to civic activi- ties, such as shoveling snow and mowing lawns for Lexington families . . . “Hey, Wayne! Don’t drop that flower box— the merchants want to use them next year.” . . . “Okay— quit loafing. Pick up that rake and get to work!” . . . “Mr. Lauck!

To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character this was the purpose of the Co-Ed Hi-Y. They sold doughnuts to raise money and used this money to give a party for under-privileged children at Christmas and a picnic in the spring. They also contributed to the school in the purchase of a new school flag. Members of the Co-Ed Hi-Y entertain under-privileged children at Christmas time. 102 FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Solemnity, seriousness of purpose, learning, and joyousness were symptomatic of the F.T.A. this year. Under the leader- ship of Mrs. Joan Sailer, the F.T.A. took on new dimensions. An impressive initiation ceremony at Mrs. Sailer’s lent dignity to becoming a member. Hearing a faculty panel on “Teaching As a Career” gave members new insight into the fun and work which make the profession. A Christmas party for the kinder- garten and first grade at Ann Smith School was fun for all. Two awards were made; one was a $100 scholarship to a high school senior who plans to make teaching a career, and the other to the Outstanding F.T.A. member of the year. A point system was set up for determining future outstanding mem- bers. Some of the activities will include observation, reading professional materials, helping teachers, and going to educa- tional meetings. Santa Claus visited F.T.A. Christmas Party.

FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA i Officers of FBLA, Patsy Hayslette, Barbara Hall, Clyde Fitzgerald, Bonnie Hartless, Jane Fries, Darlene Reynolds, and Billy Johnson, acquaint themselves with the techniques of accurate work. Georgia Harris, Jo Ann Beard, Barbara Hall, Fontaine Swisher, and Veney McKemy work together on decorations for a club project. Typewriters clicking, adding machines hum- ming, and pencils busily taking notes were famil- iar sounds to the members of FBLA. The club was composed of students who were enrolled in business courses at LHS, and its purpose was to familiarize the students with the world of busi- ness. With the supervision of Miss Clark, Miss Compton, and Mrs. Wertz, the club participated actively in a variety of school functions. The club members sponsored a sock-hop after our game with Amherst, entered an activities book contest at a regional meeting, helped to tabulate the results of the City Swimming Pool Survey, and worked with many teachers and students in compiling the SCA scrapbook. 104 FBLA sponsors, Mrs. Wertz, Miss Clark, and Miss Compton review plans for upcoming meetings. t Members of the club, Janet Amos, Clyde Fitzgerald, Betty Jarvis, Beuhla Sweet, Carolyn Bowyer, and Elena Piercy practice their skills with office equipment. Barbara and Clyde work on Scrapbook Mrs. Wertz and Miss Clark are serious about F.B.L. A., even during their lunch, to take to State F.B.L.

My cake’s in the oven, and I don’t want it to fall” . . . “This dance had better be success- ful, or all you girls will be peeling potatoes for a month” ... “I really didn’t mean to break the sewing machine” . . . “Mrs. Tardy, can we serve cocktails before the ban- quet?” . . . “Hey! Why don’t we make some clothes for the Cu- pids?” . . . “Oh no! I left out the yeast in my bread” . . . “Whose turn is it to wash the dishes?” . . . “W ' ho was the wise guy who put the garlic in my pancake batter?” . . . “Why did I ever take Home Ec.?” Mary McKemy, Betty Bryant, Margaret Nichols, and Betty Jarvis have fun examining new equipment for the Home Ec. department. 106 PERFECT MANY SKILLS The Dance Committee makes plans for the Valentine Dance, “Cupid’s Ball”.

DECA was very active during 1968-69. The activities began with a dance in the fall called “The Roach In The Wall”. Music was provided by the “Legions”. The Fall DECA Rally was held at L.H.S. on November 6th. All schools in District IX were represented at this meeting. All officers were installed by Ellen Clark, former Junior Board Member. Workshops were held to prepare students for the District Leadership Conference. The District Leadership Conference was held at Waynesboro High School on February 26. At the confe- rence, Pam Hartless won first place as Junior Board member for next year. Billy Johnson won second place in public speaking. Other students representing the chapter were Vickie Ruley, job interview; Mike Hoke, sales dem- onstration; Paul Nicely and Larry Black, display; Billy Kessinger, advertising layout and Carolyn Bowyer and Pam Hartless, sales judging. The State Leadership Conference was held in Washing- ton, D. C. Mike Hoke, Pam Hartless, and Billy Johnson served as voting delegates to this meeting. Larry Blackwell, Carolyn Bowyer, Betty Jarvis and Crawford Goodbar sell tickets for “The Roach in the Wall.” 109 LATIN CLUB Advisor: Mrs. Lucille Weaver The Latin Club of Lexington High School functioned to enable Latin students to infor- mally study Roman life and customs. Since the club met during class periods, the only requirement for membership was that the student be enrolled in Latin. Mrs. Weaver directed club members in producing slides illustrating famous scenes from Roman mythology, showing modern uses of Latin in bulletin board displays, and participating in programs and contests based on Roman life. The Latin Honor Club, Discipuli Laudandi, was organized to recognize stu- dents with an outstanding record in Latin and to encourage their further pursuit of classical study. To be eligible for member- ship, a student must have had five semesters of Latin with an average of “B” for at least three semesters preceding initiation. This club helped to plan Lexington High’s first foreign language carol sing. Club members also prepared a script and slides for Plautus’ play, “The Pot of Gold”, and with the help of first and second year Latin students, staged a Roman funeral.

Fellow students were often amazed by the sounds of spirited discussions, heated debates, and dramatic dialogues ... all spoken in a foreign language! “Frau Beck, I think we should climb House Mountain as soon as possible— before the snakes come out” . . . “Now, these are slides of my first trip to Germany” . . . “You’d better listen to these reports— there may just be some questions about them on your next test” ... “I think Stephan should ride in the bike race— he’s a real speed demon” . . . “Is that chewing gum? You know that you can’t speak properly with such an obstruction in your mouth. Spit it out” . . . “Anyone care to play Scrabble- auf Deutsch, naturlich” ... “I like my German name better than my regular one. Is there any way that I can change it permanently” . . . Advised by Mrs. Carolyn Beck, the German Club explored thoroughly the history and culture of the Ger- man people, as well as their modern economy and social problems. 112 FRENCH CLUB Through films, discussions, speeches, and skits, the members of the French Club learned about the French people and their customs. Various films of France were shown at meetings which related customs of the country, and noted important towns and provinces in France. Profes- sor Brochman from Washington Lee presented a lecture on a comparison between the book and the movie, The Stranger. In order to be a mem- ber of the French Club, a student had to take French as a school subject.

Second Lieutenants: Margaret Williams, Robin Haden. Cooperation was the key word for the band at L.H.S. They worked alone perfecting skills and then put the individual skills together to make beautiful sounds for all. They were heard at football games, in parades, at a Christmas and a spring concert, as well as a special concert in the spring to raise money for uniforms. They sponsored a musical show, participated in the All-Regional Band and All-Regional District Festival, and sponsored an All- County Reading Clinic. Individually and in small groups they were key performers in an S.C.A. Variety Show. One of the final memories of the 1969 Senior Class was the marching from the field after receiving their diplomas, to the cadence of the LHS Band playing the Recessional. The band and majorettes provide halftime entertainment at Home- coming. Miss Bryant directs the band. 115 CHORUS ADDED MELODIOUS VOICES 1st Row: Janet Ewing, Janet Morgan, Alice Dunn, Beverly Bury, Calvin Plogger, Tommy Mays, Mrs. Geraldine Keen, director. 2nd Row: Kathy Quist, Jackie Lacks, Doretta Hinton, Debbie Montgomery, Vickie Entsminger, Delilah Weade. 3rd Row: Isca Mack, Carol McKemy, Debbie Weade, Carol Hostetter, Vickie Leonard, Anita Piercy, Dorcas Payne, Janet Garrett, Judy Southers, Becky Leonard, Pam Reid, Donna Staton. 4th Row: James Kirby, Gregory Durham, Jerry Goodbar, Susan Shurz, Debbie Farrow, Lynn Jolly, Olivia Patton, Norma Jean Robinson, Wanda Davis, Lois Beckner, Wilma Hostetter, Linda Cooper. 5th Row: Thomas Branch, William Mays, Robert Veney, David Conner, David Smith, Barry Flint, Benjamin Straub, Clyde Fitzgerald, Joyce Reynolds, Debbie Roloff, Michelle Poindexter.

The sound of music was heard at all hours from the music and art building . . . shuffling of sheet music . . . clearing of throats . . . sounding of pitch pipe . . . striking of “Middle C” . . . finally many voices blending to make beautiful sounds. Some of the results of these sounds and hours of practice were heard at two Christmas programs . . . one presented at a school assembly and the other a night performance; an Easter Can- tata; performances in community churches; a special partici- pation in the S.C.A. Variety show; and special numbers given during graduation exercises. Clyde Fitzgerald, Joyce Reynolds, Vickie Leonard, and Charlene Spraggins attended the All-Regional Chorus at Am- herst High School, and members also attended the Junior High Clinic at Woodstock.

Hands and faces covered with an oozing mixture of paste and newspaper were the results of the first meeting of the Art Club. During this meeting the members worked on a project for the Homecoming Parade— a dragon head! The approach of Christmas holidays found the students making Christmas cards which they sold to the faculty and students at school. The Art Club sponsored an art show in which individuals could enter their personal creations. This project was most successful, and was enjoyed by both the artist and viewers. Artistic abilities are expressed during the student art show. 118 CHESS CLUB Concentrated silence . . . Checkmate. Newly organized this year, the Chess Club proved to be an enjoyable organi- zation for students with the interest of learning or improving their skills in the game of chess. Under the supervision of Mr. William Leech, the group held matches at school, and met every Tues- day at the Lexington Presbyterian Church. From these matches each mem- ber had his winnings and losses recorded on a chart. The organization was com- prised of two sections— those students who belonged to the regular Chess Club, and a specific division known as the Tournament Group. Tournament play- ers were chosen for the exceptional skills which they had exhibited during regular chess matches. TOURNAMENT GROUP: Table: John Harer, David Hunter, Eddie Fifer.

Standing: Connie Berry, Beth Pierce, Joyce Coleman, Maria Thomas, Vicki Entsminger, Pam Whitsell, Debra Martin, Linda Tolley. Teresa Roloff, Sheila Johnson, and Alice Moore direct the affairs of the Library Club. “Let’s go down and see if Mrs. Newman will buy any books” . . . “Pam, you push this cart around for a while. I’m tired” . . . “Girls, you must be alert. No one will want to buy a book if you don’t smile” . . . Such comments were ex- pressed during morning hours, as several girls of the Library Club worked hard to sell their paper- back books to fellow students and teachers. “Next year, why don’t we let the teachers give us the tea party” . . . “Watch out for that chair— oops— oh well, we didn’t really need that extra tray of cookies” . . . “The table looks lovely! I hope Mr. Morrison will appreciate the flower arrangement” . . . Under the direction of Mrs. Eliza McHenry, long hours of planning and prep- aration went into the successful spring tea which the club sponsored in honor of the faculty. Sending invitations . . . welcoming honored guests . . . “Mrs. Price, are you sure you wouldn’t like a copy of this book? It’s a real bargain for only 75tf”! 120 STUDENT LIBRARIANS STUDENT LIBRARIANS: Left to Right: Libby Taylor, Patsy Hayslette, Brenda Turner, Jackie Reynolds, Paulette Lipscomb, Patsy Camden, Lois Carter. “Shh!” . . . “Lois, would you please help me find this book?” . . . “What do you mean I have an over-do book?” ... “I owe how much?” ... So a library was supposed to have been quiet— but, it played a large part in students’ lives, and where you had students, there was always action, and the student li- brarians witnessed this! Flip- ping through card files, and transporting books to and from the rows of shelves were two daily tasks performed by the librarians. They also had the responsibility of keeping the library attractive, and did so by the display of colorful bulletin boards-one they decorated especially for the Senior Class! Charlene Spraggins, Beulah Sweet, Danny Tetlow, Sherri Richards, Betty Littlepage, Marilyn Snider, and Janet Irvine display their responsibilities as student librarians. 121 LITERARY CLU B The Literary Club functioned with the intention of en- couraging the study of good literature. Led by Mrs. Dorothy Newman, the club members discussed such novels as Crime and Punishment, Ivanhoe, Pride and Prejudice, and Ethan Frome. Plans were made to view the film Pride and Prejudice in order to compare the two interpretations. “Please pick up your books in the library. A meeting will be held in two weeks to discuss Ethan Frome.” . . . “Now Nancy, why did the selection make you cry?” . . . “Personally, I thought the movie was ten times better!” . . . “Mrs. Newman, 1 just can’t understand it if it’s written in poetry!” Comments like these changed to, “That book has unity in style and theme”, “1 cried because that author’s purpose and style really made me relate,” and “Really, it is hard for a movie to say, in just the same way, what that writer intended.” Interest in, an enthusiasm for, and a deeper understanding of the purposes of literature grew out of experiences together in this club.

Thespian Troupe 3009 was one of the most active organi- zations at L.H.S., as the members assisted with the Christmas Music Program, participated in efforts to clear the backstage area, and served as the technical crew on the S.C.A. backstage committee. Individual performances and group cooperation led to the production of outstanding theater for a high school. Three one-act plays were presented in the fall. Kathy Graffs tremendous portrayal as Tessie Huchison in Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery literally had those on stage, as well as those in the audience, enthralled. The spring production was The Curious Savage. The purpose of the Thespian Troupe is to encourage interest and active participation in the dramatic arts. To become members of the National Thespians, members of the local troop must meet the approval of their sponsor, and must earn ten points for excellent work in drama. An unsatisfactory performance of duties may lead to expulsion or suspension of membership. Grease paint, lights, staging, blocking, and the excitement of opening nights were very much a part of the year 1968-69 at L.H.S. SCIENCE CLUB Advisor: Mr. Emory Potter President: Chris Wise V. -President: Mark Nelson Sec. -Treasurer: David Woody The Science Club gave interested students a chance to work on special projects and a chance to pursue individual interests in the fields of Physical and Biological Science. The highlight of the year was the Science Fair which was sponsored by Lexington High School this year. Other schools in this competition were Natural Bridge and Rockbridge. The winners from the local fair went to the Western Division. Bill Roberts won a first place award for the most outstanding project in electronics communications. Entries in the Science Fair from Lexington High School were: “Analog Computer”, Alex Colvin; “Taxonomy of Rumex Cripus in and around Lexington”, Scot Nelson; “Flame Loud- speaker”, Bill Roberts; “Laser”, Gene Hostetter; “Celestial Space Ship Navigation System”, Robert Justice; “Mendel’s Calculations”, Ed. Duvall; “Effects of Acceleration on Algae and Fish”, Chris Smart.

Under the very able leadership of Mr. Harold Morrison, the major objectives of this club were developed. The members were encouraged to know and speak up for good conservation practices. By set- ting examples and talking to their friends and associates they hoped to further the cause of conservation. They planned several pro- jects, one special one, that of taking an active role in the planting project sponsored by the S.C.A. Two members worked on projects for the science fair. 1st Row: Ricky Blosser, Barny Mitchell.

The students at L.H.S. found the Math Club a medium through which they explored and shared their mutual interests in the field of mathematics. Membership was open to all Lexington High School students in- terested in mathematics who had suc- cessfully completed their first year of algebra.

Can’t you get rid of those clicks on the tape” . . . “Do you think he’ll like it, Mrs. Read” . . . The problems, noises and finished tapes echoed through the downstairs hall, as another “Insight L.H.S.” program was prepared for weekly presentation. “Insight L.H.S.”, Lexington’s own radio show, was in its second year of presenting news and views of L.H.S. students to the community at large. Mrs. Read, the faculty sponsor, and announcers Jeanne Rabe and Debbie Harmison headed this year’s efforts. Responsibility for the taping of each week’s program was handled by a staff of technicians headed by Terry Atwood. The idea behind “Insight L.H.S.” was to serve as another means of communicating to the community the activities and ideas of individuals and groups at L.H.S. The weekly news is read by Jeanne Rabe . Mrs. Read directs the radio staff. Terry Atwood adjusts the tape-ready to start the show! 127 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS With cries of “Let’s go Big Red, let’s go” the cheerleaders spurred the Scarlet Hurri- cane on to victory. They drew pictures, painted posters, developed dance routines- threw themselves and the students into the spirit of Lexington High School. “Freeze 2 -3-4-5 -6-7-8, do that stuff’ . . . “We’ve got the boys on our team— they’re GREAT!” . . . “Now here’s a tip our team’s on top” . . . “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!” . . .

With Mrs. Carolyn Beck acting as spon- sor, they organized two summer bake sales and a car wash. They were responsible for rallying school spirit at J.V. games and added their enthusiasm to school Pep Assemblies. Since the Varsity Cheerleaders used the downstairs hall for practice, the upper hall be- came the stamping ground for the J.V.’s. Interestingly enough, their hang-out was just outside of where the Crystal staff was at work, and if the lay-outs seem Psychedelic you know why! J.

Bodies moving in time to a driving beat and batons twirling in space, seven individuals led the LHS band through a year of musical spirit. These seven individuals, the LHS Majorettes, not only performed with the band, but were also members of the band. During the year, the Majorettes performed several routines. One of the most unusual was at Homecoming festivities with fire batons which they had purchased. They also planned a pom-pom routine which they wanted to perform during basketball season. Sponsored by Miss Alice Bryant, the Majorettes again displayed their unique style of school spirit. PEP SQUAD Miss Edna Compton, Advisor. In order to give L.H.S. ath- letic teams the strongest sup- port possible, the Pep Squad sponsored buses to away games, encouraged school spirit through giving prizes for color- ful posters, and they planned successfully many Home- coming activities, including the bonfire, movie and half-time performance. One of the largest clubs at L.H.S. , the Pep Squad was very active with the leadership of Miss Compton and Debbie Harmison, president. 1st Row: Linda Henry, Kay Moorhead, Olivia Patton, Margie Atthowe, Bobbi Emrey, Nannette Agnor, Eileen Head, Carter Agnor, Anne Feddeman, Martha Dobyns. 2nd Row: Joyce Reynolds, Debbie Harmison, Paul Whitehead, Nancy Atthowe, Laura Koiner, Janet Amos, Betsy Williams, Susan Ellington, Chris Moorhead, Susan Lewis, Molly Emrey, Miss Compton, Advisor. 3rd Row: Brenda Beard, Darlene Swisher, Debbie Carter, Carolyn Reid, Charlotte Mays, Linda Clark, Margaret Nichols, Peggy Irons, Angie Kimble, Nancy Williams, Paula Turner, Janet Ewing, Clyde Fitzgerald. 4th Row: Sandy Goodbar, Lynn Hartbarger, Norman Goodbar, Oakey Pruett, Carol Tilson, Lucy Turner, Carol McKemy, Lisa Cloar, Deborah Roloff, Margaret Williams, Joan Tabbut, Evie Ravenhorst, Jeanne Rabe. 5th Row: Diane Massie, Sandra Fifer, Michelle Davis, Teresa Roloff, Brenda Hockman, Marcy Jones.

This was the Monogram Club, a rough, tough, hard working group of athletes who gave all they had to L.H.S. To promote and improve athletic activities— this was their pur- pose. The only requirement for membership was a tough one— a hard earned monogram in a varsity sport. The boys in the club worked at a concession stand during basketball games in order to earn money for senior athletic awards, which were pre- sented in the spring. During a special assembly, senior players proudly received their gold sports charms, the symbol of hard work and dedicated spirit. Groans on the football field . . . taped knees and ankles, crutches and slings . . . shortness of breath at the end of the race . . . the tingling feeling that comes from a win, or the ache of defeat ... for men only.

Seniors Buck Leslie and Tommy Sorrells earned All-Valley- District honors and quarterback Jay Jones ranked high in punting statistics. The future looks bright for 1969 as half- backs John Sheridan, Bryant Mason and Peter Macheras return along with fullback Will Leech. HURRICANE POSTS 4-6 OVERALL RECORD.

Senior captain Skip Styles was the main Hurricane threat. With over 800 lifetime points and 60 in the ’69 Valley Tournament. Skip was both All-District and All-Tournament first team. Chuck Williams and Billy Nicely rounded out the scoring punch and both were rewarded with berths on the All-Tournament teams. Once again the future looks bright for the Hurri- cane as Robert Veney, Allen Nicely and Doug Chase return to supply the offensive power in 1970. The Hurricane prided itself on defense and came in second only to district champion Amherst in that category. Offensively, the Redmen relied on Styl es outside and Williams underneath. Doing the major portion of the board work were Larry Blackwell and Jay Jones. ’69 SCORES Lexington ... 68 36 Rockbridge Lexington ... 59 67 Waynesboro Lexington ... 59 63 Natural Bridge Lexington ... 56 51 Harrisonburg Lexington ... 41 44 Rockbridge Lexington ... 58 51 Albemarle Lexington ... 65 49 Amherst Lexington ... 49 59 Robert E.

THINCLADS RANK 4th In a rebuilding year, the Hurricane thinclads pulled upset after upset and finished the season with only two defeats in dual meets. When these figures are compared with the five regular season wins and the strong showing in the state meet, the job Coach Williams has done becomes evident. Led by a strong senior contingent, the Redmen led the way for Tommy Sorrells record breaking tosses in the shot and discus. Bobby Lam went on to new heights in the high jump with his record setting leap of five feet, ten inches. Both Sorrells and sophomore sprint star Peter Macheras went to the state meet with Sorrells bringing home two third-place medals.
