The fall months passed quickly for most people at LHS; with so many different activities that people were headed in a million directions! The usual football and girls ' basketball games kept sports fans happy, as did the annual Powderpuff game be- tween the Junior and Senior girls. Numerous pep rallies were held for these sports events, to encourage better student backing of the teams. When last year ' s Crystals arrived, the yearbook signing party was held. The magazine drive was held again as a money-making project for this year ' s Crystal staff. Class offi- cers began immediate work on their own projects. Sophomore girls ush- ered at home VMI football games as in previous years. The Senior Class made preparations for the Homecoming Dance, while the Pep Squad took care of the activities for Homecoming Week. The SCA decided to take a big step and or- ganized Lexington High School ' s Visiting evaluators watch the proceedings at the SCA pep rally, which was held in their honor. 18 Chrono

Members of the Sophomore class sit one out while David Wilson seems worried about the nearby spider. The Homecoming Dance, which was the last dance sponsored by the Senior class, was held near the end of October. The theme was “The Lord of the Rings, which is a famous work of J.R. Tolkien. The Seniors went all out on the dec- orations, and couples danced under the parachute to the music of Lynx. The dancing came to a standstill and everyone gathered near the stage as the Homecoming repre- sentatives were introduced from each grade. There were two girls from each grade, except for the eighth grade, which had only one repre- sentative. Each girl was escorted by a football player as she slowly walked through the arch and down the steps to the dance floor. Bon- nie Painter who was honored as Homecoming Queen was escorted by the football tri-captains. YoYo Roane was recognized as the Maid of Honor. She and Bonnie were chosen by the entire school. The Homecoming Dance band strikes up a loud tune to encourage more couples to get out on the dance floor. Homecoming Dance 17
