Reactions to Honor Committee varied In early fall students were in- troduced to a newly-formed Honor Committee. The purpose of this stu- dent group was not to try students suspected of wrongdoing, but to promote the positive aspects of honor. This group would also serve as a go-between for students and teachers if necessary in the case of an Honor Code infraction. Some stu- dents were glad to see such a com- mittee formed and felt its presence long overdue. On the other hand, some felt unclear as to the functions of the committee and wished the group to have more authority con- cerning the punishment of those guilty of breaking the Honor Code. Another addition to the school came with the arrival of a coke machine, placed in the cafeteria by cont.

The initial glee this brought about faded quickly as students were informed that the machine would be in- operative during lunch periods and that no drink cans were to leave the lunchroom. Though these restric- tions greatly limited the number of students who were able to make use of the machine, its presence was still appreciated.

Headed by the Honor Commit- tee and Chairman Chip Phillips, various sections of the Honor Code were enforced and discussed with the school body. Cheating was dealt with on a stricter basis and students thought twice before glancing at someone else’s paper or looking at their notes. The com- mittee attempted to give students a greater pride in their school by strengthening the policies against defacement of school property and general misbehavior. Lexington suffered a severe energy crisis as school spirit was not up to the standards of past years. Pep rallies seemed to lack the previous spark, as many stu- dents seemed not to care. But there were students who did their best to revive enthusiasm and keep remaining spirit alive. School life didn’t center solely on honor and spirit as dances, plays, parties and friendships made school a little more bearable.

After examining the many exhibits at the festival, Bruce Schweizer and Cindy Weeks discuss the past events of summer vacation. Although school officially ended in mid-June, many students con- tinued their education in summer school, the Governor’s School, and Boys’ and Girls’ State. Others broadened their horizons by travel- ing in the U.S. and abroad, while some stayed in town to work or relax. Local swimming pools and Goshen became favorite cooling-off spots, while sometimes one had to settle for a backyard hose after a hot day: of tennis, golf, skateboarding or some other warm weather activity. Making preparations for the coming school year, marching band and yearbook staff members traveled to camps.

Those who did wore different crazy costumes each day. The outfits were judged and winners received a ticket to the football game. Mon- day was Sports Day, and found students wandering the halls equipped with bats, balls, and tennis shoes. Tuesday, Costume Day, brought strange characters from books and movies into the school. The popular Fifties Day came on Wednesday with bright red lipstick and leather jackets. That night students enjoyed a horror movie, Trog, at the school. Thursday was Leg Day with rolled- up jeans and multi-layered socks. On Friday mismatched clothes in- vaded the school with such odd combinations as stripes on checks. Friday night there was a parade. Floats representing each class and the cross country team accom- panied students and the band in a march from the Lyric parking lot to the football field. Jaws II], built by the junior class, won the $50 first prize in the float competition. The cross country float’s band, Pablo Kazoos, provided background music for the cheers. A pep rally was held on the field before the game against Western Albemarle. Saturday night stu- dents danced at Studio ’79, presen- ted by the seniors.

The assembled audience was then treated to a skit called ““Name that Mag.” In the skit, contestants had to name the magazine which the emcee, Fred Rindge, described. The contestant members consisted of Crystal staff members, teachers and students.

Despite the fact that rain had cancelled many practices and postponed the game twice, the female football players were ready for action as they rallied on the field. Though there were no senior cheerleaders, the junior boys dis- played both their legs and their spirit in short skirts. A scoreless first half proved the teams to be equally matched. Ten- sion mounted during the third quarter as the seniors approached the junior goal line.

The couples were greeted at the door by no one other than Santa Claus (Clifford Payne). Halfway through the dance, a dance contest was held for stu- dents to show how well they could do the latest in disco dancing. The winners of the contest were Bill Moore and Liz Gary. Robert Hartmen, a disc jockey out of Roanoke, played the best in disco music. Enjoying a break from the disco beat, Pam Elliott and Terry Fix dance a slow one.

Couples arrived at eight o’clock to find the gym transformed into a tropical island complete with ocean waves and fiery sunsets. Brightly feathered birds skimmed over sandy beaches. Under a canopy of hearts, couples danced to the music of WLLL, provided by disc- jockey Bill Bender. Pictures were taken under a moonlit trellis by a native photographer. During the evening a dance con- test was held, judged by chaperon- ing teachers. Couples whirled to the music showing their best style.

As the winter season got un- derway, one of the first events was a visit by the Red Cross Blood- mobile sponsored by the Human Relations Council. Brave students lined up with rolled-up sleeves to make a donation. As the holidays neared, the Christmas Dance, sponsored by the junior class, was held, foreign language students gathered for an international carol sing, and the bands and the choir held a joint concert. Seniors ordered graduation an- nouncements and were measured for cap and gown, while college- bound juniors worried over SAT’s. Also, eighth grade elections were held during the winter. Shortly after Christmas vaca- tion, students struggled through exams and then enjoyed a few un- expected vacations due to snow.

The cast of Childhood, after winning the state drama com- petition, traveled to several civic clubs to raise money for their trip to Atlanta. The LHS production of “The Ugly Duckling,” a one-act play, was also presented. Foreign exchange students living in the area arrived one Friday in February for an AFS weekend. Tours of Lexington and the county and other entertainment was provided for the visitors. Also, in February, the Valentine’s Dance was sponsored by the sophomore class. Other winter activities included the senior coffeehouse, the Crystal subscription drive, the Latin ban- quet, the Virginia Opera’s produc- tion of Madame Butterfly, foren- sics competition, and several pep rallies.

Class first to tour FBI building 30 chrono On March 29, seniors staggered to the school at 4:00 A.M. to board buses for the annual trip to Washington, D.C. While some seniors tried to catch a few hours’ sleep before the journey, others spent the early hours celebrating. After a four hour trip, three buses arrived at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where amazed students viewed stacks of money. From there, a short bus ride took the group to the Holloway House cafeteria. A tour of the House and Senate followed breakfast. Unfortunately, though seniors viewed much preliminary action, they were unable to see either House in session. The Honorable Caldwell Butler posed with members of the class of ’79 for the annual picture on the steps of Congress. Students were glad to arrive at the Mall for lunch and a few free hours after a busy morning. Some chose to relax in the sun while others toured the Smithsonian. At the appointed hour, the buses were boarded once again for a short ride to the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion. Because the trip was held on a Thursday, instead of the usual Friday, fewer tourists were present and the Bureau was able to schedule a senior visit for the first time. Small groups viewed exhibits the on famous criminals and methods of apprehension and eventually converged to see a firearms demonstration. Seniors agreed that the tour should be repeated in following years. The changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery was the next activity on the schedule. After viewing the ceremony, stu- dents were unable to visit the Ken- nedy Memorials because it was closing time. Instead, there was time to see both the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials before leaving Washington. Standing on the Capitol steps, seniors engage in various activities as they await arrival of the Honorable Caldwell Butler. Well-acquainted from past senior trips, Mrs. Peggy Hays and the Honorable Caldwell Butler discuss the day’s plans. Seniors take advantage of the opportunity to witness the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. As the final activity of a busy day, seniors went to Tyson’s Cor- ners for dinner and shopping. Finally, at 9:30, the group boarded the buses for the last time and arrived home three hours later af- ter a long day at the capitol. Chaperones for the trip were Ms. Peggy Hayes, Ms. Sandy Aldridge, and Mr. Mike Shoope. senior trip 31 Foreign and domestic exchanges held Taking a moment to rest in the sunshine, these students and thier hosts relax after a tour of Fort McHenry. To increase the enthusiasm of its members and also to raise funds to support its foreign students, the American Field Service club, was busy with a wide variety of ac- tivities this past year. Part of its program included the exchange week, of which ten club members, resided in Greenbelt, Maryland, for five days. Part of their tour included a visit to Baltimore and Annapolis and stu- dents also visited an agricultural farm. During the week, the stu- dents accompanied their hosts to a school consisting of 2000 students, which is divided into a technical and regular section. In turn ten Maryland students visited Lex- ington and toured famous Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University; in conjunction with other activities organized. Together with the AFS com- munity chapter, the club also arranged a foreign AFS weekend. AFS students from Europe and the Southern hemisphere likewise toured VMI and W L and one of the highlights of the weekend was the international dessert party. Sponsors of the community were invited to taste the foreign desserts and a slide presentation was given by Karl Garroarsson and Sue Moore, exchange students. To top off the evening, students took part in learning square dancing, direc- ted by Mrs. Jane Carpenter. Peo- ple seemed to enjoy the inter- national atmosphere. 32 chrono Treated by his host family, George Hodges savors his meal, during lunchtime. Learning a new square dance step, this ex- change student, claps her hands in time to the music. During the international evening, Joanne Cunningham serves foreign desserts to com- munity supporters.

Others huddled in the pavilion and contented themselves with watching before venturing forth when the rain slowed to a sprinkle and eventually stopped. Various activities kept seniors occupied throughout the day. Singing and guitar playing on the picnic tables, football and volleyball games, pinball and foosball under the pavilion, the ever-popular cable slide and merry-go-round in the water, sand sculpting, and just wandering around the area gave students an opportunity to deepen friendships with those who were already close and a chance to get acquainted with class members perhaps not known well before. Displaying their true form, seniors gathered around the grill several times during the afternoon to feast on hamburgers with all the fixings, salads, munchies and desserts. As strenuous activities caused dry throats, several coolers filled with every imaginable soft drink helped to relieve the thirst. One pastime which proved to be a favorite was the capturing of teachers and then throwing them fully clothed into the water. For- tunately, each teacher was foresighted enough to bring a dry change of clothing. Around five o’clock, tired and slightly grubby seniors loaded onto the buses and headed homeward. As ravenous seniors show up begging for food, Ms. Mary Lou Williams and Mr. Mike Shoope begin cooking hamburgers and hot- dogs for all. Weary of usual attractions, some creative seniors find time to design and build these interesting sand creatures. Trying to prevent her escape from the water, Marvin McCullough, David Pruett and Alan Tilson surround Mrs. Carter Drake. senior picnic 35 City dazzle transforms gym The Junior Class Committee met early in the year to pick a theme for the 1979 Junior-Senior Prom. After deciding on “New York” as the theme and Cold Duck as the band, the juniors began their long awaited task. During the month previous to the Prom, lights could be seen at night in LHS as the juniors worked diligently to make this Prom the best ever. Friday, May 4, was an all day job as everyone got to help and although SAT’s kept many people from helping Saturday, a few still came to finish the decora- tions. And so, because of Mrs. Bar- bara Price’s knowledge of the city, the working juniors brought “New York, New York” to the LHS gym and hall on Saturday May 5, 1979. Prom-goers entered the school Equipped with cardboard, scissors and aluminum foil, juniors create the decora- tions to highlight a starry evening. Though much work needs to be done the Friday before prom, Megan Agnor takes a moment to survey the effect of the decora- tions. The work on New York murals involves many artists, as juniors armed with paint brushes detail city sights. 36 chrono Preparing to tape up the mural, David Felts, Sherri Canfield and Ann Floyd com- bine efforts to get the job done. and were led to a ticket office where Ms. Liz Ramsey gave them tickets to enter the gym and a bumber sticker for the car. After reaching the gym door, students gave their tickets to Mrs. Nanalou Sauder, and then went into what was no longer a gym, but into what had been transformed into a daz- zling New York City. Students sat at tables or on benches behind which they could see murals depicting Bloom- ingdales, Yankee Stadium, Tif- fany’s, and the Empire State Building, as well as many other buildings and shops. Shiny stars hung from the canopy, but the main attraction was in the center of the room. The Statue of Liberty dominated the city with her ma- jestic manner and pose. Waiting for decorations to be completed, Susan Huffman and Pam Cox discuss plans for the upcoming prom weekend. Making sure the prom decorations are per- fect to the last inch, Dawn Hartless and Lisa Shepherd measure the wall hangings. prom 37 Relaxing on a park bench for a few minutes, Lisa Nay and her date take time to watch the dancing.

New York store fronts decorated the wall. Couples danced by glowing lampposts, relaxed on park benches, or simply strolled under the stars. In the center of the gym, a replica of the Statue of Liberty presided over the evening. After following a New York skyline to the home economics room, thirsty dan- cers found refreshments served by the sophomores. Couples could have their picture taken by the photography club in the cafeteria. Junior class president Lloyd Glenn stopped the dancing at 10 p.m. for the senior promenade. Seniors and their dates strolled through the archway and danced to a special tune dedicated to the senior class. At midnight, couples went their various ways, regretting having to leave the nightlife behind. Standing in the arch of the senior promenade, Fred Friedman and Pam Cox are presented to the crowd. prom 39 Showing their best school spirit, many hopeful girls try out for varsity cheerleading. Reaching for another flower, Margaret Furgerson is busy putting gift cards from friends on the carnations. 40 chrono Carnations herald presented its second variety show As in past years, the sale of AFS carnations marked the beginning of spring. Shortly thereafter, several activities filled the season with interest. The music depart- ment was busy as the band traveled to Riverheads to par- ticipate in the district band festival, playing ‘Chorale,’ and ‘“‘Tamerlane,’’ and the choir and dessert theatre. Entertain- ment included ‘‘Send in the Clowns,”’ a medley from the movie “Grease,” and various skits. The band also performed in two spring concerts — one in March and another in May. In April many students found opportunities for travel. Eight stu- eason; dents traveled to Greenbelt, Maryland in an AFS short-term exchange trip. After several months of fund raising, band mem- bers journeyed to Florida to per- form in a Disney World parade. In order to visit the new East Wing of the National Gallery of Art and other buildings, members of the art club made a trip to.

While Mark Jamison devours his dinner, Mae Millicent Winfrey attempts to make conversation. At graduation, the gowns of 11 seniors were adorned with a red stripe. This stripe signified a year of extra hours of study in the Honors program. The students were involved in six different areas throughout the year. In order to gain more insight into their reading materials, the students read How to Read a Book, as an introductory unit. The five other units were math, computer programming, music, archaeology, and drama. In order to graduate with honors, the seniors were re- quired to make at least a “B” on at least all but one of the units. In correlation with their studies, the Honors students attended all Rockbridge Concert Theatre Series presentations, several plays at Washington and Lee and Southern Seminary and local lectures. They traveled to Washington, D.C. to hear the Boston Symphony and to see the Hirshhorn Museum, the National Art Gallery’s new wing and the Smithsonian. In order to see Noel Coward’s Private Lives, the groups journeyed to Richmond. The Honors students also worked with W L students at the archaeological dig at Liberty Hall.

Though public attention was not directly focused on the SCA this year, the officers still worked with students in an effort to improve the school. For entertainment, the SCA sponsored soc-hops, where they sold refreshments. They also presented the annual Homecoming horror movie. In the line of more academic pursuits, a scholarship, presented on Senior night, was given to a deserving student. The group gave a donation of money to the Drama club. Though certain activities could not be carried out, plans were discussed that will pave the way for next year’s SCA. Among these were the decorative trash barrels to be placed around the school. _ Gathering around the demonstration table, students study a replica of the voting _ machine before entering the booth.

Thornton Wilder’s one-act play, “Childhood,” directed by Mr. Denny Clark and Ms. Molly Diller, portrays the struggle between the separate worlds of parents and children. The cast included Chip Phillips and Carol Taylor as the parents of Cindi McDermott, Mike McNeese, and Vicky Entsminger. The play won the state competi- tion and progressed to the regional competition in Atlanta, where Vicky and Mike were nominated to the All-Star cast. Our Town, also by Thorton Wilder, was presented as the win- ter production. The three-act play deals realistically with life and death in a small American town. Cindi McDermott and Bruce Schweizer, in the lead roles, por- trayed two characters in the transformation of adolescents to adults. The Mirth and Melancholy players presented another one-act play in the late winter. ‘““The Ugly Duckling,” by A.A. Milne, gives a humorous view of courtly life.

Coming to a halt, Wilson Mays shows his dramatic ability during the play Godspell. The major undertaking of the year was the spring musical, Godspell.

The practice they have been putting in has built strong and sound bodies, and they may be very good in their sport or only half-decent. Then there are upperclassmen who go out for sports and in their first year excel beyond all the others who have put in long hard hours on the field, court, mat, or track. They may be, and has been, resentment between these two types of people at LHS, but what really is important isn’t the personal glory achieved when two teams meet; it’s being able to withstand the tough practices throughout the season. Both of these types of people have to sacrifice themselves academically, socially, as well as physically, for it takes a lot to be an athlete at Lex- ington High School. Be proud to be an athlete because sometimes it’s tough for the mind to kick the body and say “get out there and prac- tice, don’t skip it.” The hard work and self-discipline will pay off in the end when we will no longer be depending on someone else, but rather when we will be depended on.

The Hurricane ended with a 3-7 season record but “we should have won a couple more games than we did. Injuries really hurt us. Coach Sheets felt the weight machine didnt help the squad very much this season, but it will have long range effects on the team.” A lack of experienced leadership was found in sophomore quarter- back Alan Mutispaugh.

The squad received a third place in the Washington and Lee _ Invitational before Christmas with no seniors on the team. Soon after this last meet of the year, Coach Sheets chose to leave teaching at Lexington High School to become a pharmaceutical salesman. To finish out the season, former LHS wrestling star and current Washington and Lee student Kevin McFaddin was called upon to wind up Sheets’ duties as coach of the team.

The Valley District demonstrated how tough it really is by placing five teams in the top twelve positions in the state meet with powerhouse Western Albemarle placing unsurprisingly first. Many of the runners were fresh out of cross country which builds a strong base for indoor, but many wait for outdoor track before they come out.

The entire season was suc- cessful, though there were defeats to such teams as Western Albemarle and Riverheads, and the final record was 54. Team effort was prevalent throughout the season and the runners showed it by winning four of the last five meets.

With competitive programs in football, wrestling, gymnastics, baseball, golf, boys’ and girls’ track in the winter and spring, and cross country in the fall, the athletic department has its hands full. A large portion of the student body participates in these sports — many in more than one. Though workouts differ for each sport, all the athletes practice daily after school in preparation for their games, meets, or matches. Each one also knows the feeling of sore muscles and sweaty brows and each one knows the exhilaration of having that hard work pay off. There are some sports that stu- dents enjoy that are not affiliated with the school. Many local youth cont.

Also, tennis buffs would like to see courts built at the school so they could form a team. Other extra-curricular sports ac- tivities include skiing, volleyball, skateboarding, biking, soccer, softball and horseback riding. round-up 101 102 academics x § Most students at Lexington High School have five or six classes a day. They include courses belonging to such academic groups as physical education, science, mathematics, social studies, foreign languages, and English. Students have a deep interest in some of these classes, and little in- terest in others. Sometimes stu- dents don’t understand why they are required to take these classes. The purpose of having these re- quired courses is to give the stu- dent breadth in his background and to supply an opportunity for students to explore fields of possi- ble careers. When students are asked to name the basic parts of an amoeba or to tell the class what major crops are grown in eastern South Africa, they should realize that it’s all part of the game of high school education. It can be an utter bore or a lot of fun. But take it in stride and do your best — you have nothing to lose.

Calendars fill artists’ time A variety of activities in the music and art departments allowed students to develop their talents to the fullest potential in addition to providing beauty and entertainment: for the com- munity. On the first day of school, stu- dents greeted a new face in the art department. Mrs. Elizabeth Harralson replaced Ms. Barbara Crawford who took a leave of ab- sence to assume the position of educational director at the local historic Stonewall Jackson house. Art club members decided in September to again silk screen calendars for their primary money-making project. In Oc- tober, after finally choosing twelve designs, hard work began which lasted for two long months. Calendars sold for five dollars a piece and with the profits, art students ventured to Washington, D.C. Once in Washington, they visited the National Gallery of Art and it’s New Wing; shorter visits were also made to the Hirshorn con't. Band members Lisa Potter and Cynthia Claytor socialize with Nancy Lowery, while she practices her music. Concentrating seriously, Gwen Lee plays the bassoon during a band concert.

Af- ter leaving the museums, they proceeded to Tyson’s Corners where they went Shopping and had dinner. For the first time ever, this year the concert band played grade six music. The first piece learned was “Barber of Seville”, made familiar by the Bugs Bunny cartoon. As in past years LHS band members made up a majority of the All-County Band, capturing 40 chairs. Nine of these musi- cians advanced to play in the All- Regional Band and one, Chip Phillips, advanced to the All- State Band in the percussion sec- tion. The jazz ensemble, often referred to as Papa Joe’s Band, played at the Jazz Festival in January, in Winchester. Their selections included ‘‘Send in the Clowns’’, and ‘‘Fire and Brimstone’. The ensemble per- formed at several concerts and provided entertainment at the choir’s variety show. The major project of the year was raising money for a trip to Florida in the spring. Industrious band members sold candles, pop- corn and light bulbs until enough funds were raised. In Florida, the band performed at Disney World, playing the Mickey Mouse theme song and “Shenan- doah’’, and also visited Sea World. A renewal of interest in the choir resulted in a total of 46 voices blended under the direc- tion of Mr. Denny Clark. The group greeted the beginning of school with a performance at Open House. Plans and rehear- sals for a new form of entertain- ment occupied choir time. In November, Act 1, Scene 1, a variety show and dessert theater, was presented. Choir members worked to serve cake, pie, and coffee to the audience while the jazz band provided background music. The show, with skits, songs, and specially choregraphed choir numbers was a success. Various acts were performed for local clubs and groups and received generous contributions. Another show, Act 1, Scene 2, was presented in March. The choir performed at the an- nual Christmas concert, enter- taining the audience with traditional carols and new num- bers. The group did not sing at the spring concert, but par- ticipated in the services of local churches throughout the season.

Then, after having improved their skills in the art of the English language, the classes began their journey through the different ages of English, from ancient England to contemporary AmeriCa. Mrs. Carter Drake tried her hand at teaching the advanced composition class. Appealing to the student body for artwork, photography, prose, and poetry, they put together the literary magazine Reflections, with prizes awarded to the best en- trees in each category. Exchanging places with Mrs. Yvonne Dickens for the year, Mr. Rainer Huncke joined the faculty as both English and German teacher, bringing a bit of true European culture to his classes. Also helping to fill vacant faculty positions were Mrs. Sandy Aldridge and Mrs. Molly Diller. With coaching from Mrs. Car- ter Drake, the forensics club en- tered students in various com- petitions.

In order to go, they raised money at a pancake breakfast. Af- terwards their efforts were worthwhile as they returned with several awards. Effie Wilhelm received a third place bronze medal. Another bronze medal went to Emily Smith with the entry poteca. A second place silver medal went to Louvaine Higgins for a decorated wedding cake. Patsy Martin’s sandwich of year loaf received an overall first place in the division of cakes and pastry entry. There were over 400 entries in this division and Patsy received one of the 12 first places. In addition, the club hosted the College Day representatives and prepared refreshments for parents on parents’ night. They also catered two weddings.

As usual, a barn-shaped storage shed was constructed and sold at an auc- tion for a profit. Another money- making venture was the selling of Florida citrus fruit. The second year mechanical drawing class constructed a model home to scale, then drew house plans of She de m their own. In addition to this, the class visited a building under construction to view the practical application of mechanical draw- ing in the real world. At the awards assembly held on May 25, Lee Sauder and Curtis Thompson recieved pins for their accomplishments in the art of woodwork.

In the last six weeks, Alex Bourdrez, student taught two French classes and two Ger- man Classes. There were many events throughout the year in which all the language classes took part, such as, the annual Christmas sing and the Foreign Language Field Day, where the French classes won the Chariot race and the Tour de France. However, the German soccer team was vic- torious again. Students who have visited foreign lands shared their ex- periences in talks with the French classes.

The math department had two new additions this year, they were Ms. Grinder and Ms. Floyd. Ms. Grinder teaches Math 8 and Algebra I, while Ms. Floyd teaches Geometry, Algebry Y, and Math 8. The math club this year was sponsored by Dr. David Robins from Washington and Lee. The club was organized at the begin- ning of the second semester. Their purpose was to investigate the unusual problems in math, which aren’t discussed in the math classes. In March, the thirtieth annual Mathematics Association of America Contest was held in Lexington. Leslie Minnix placed first with Fred Bechert placing second and David Thompson placing third. The examination was sponsored by Mathematical Association of America. In May LHS sent three stu- dents to the annual Radford College Mathematics Ralley. The three students were Fred Bechert, Barbara Carpenter, and Chip Phillips. Forty-nine schools participated in the ralley this year. Mr. Lauck said that the tests seemed more difficult than the ones in past years.

But the course was not only physical; the stu- dents also learned a detailed study of the system of the body. Trained by Miss June Mays and Mr. Mike Brown, these students readily adjusted. Ninth graders learned first aid and tenth graders were fortunate enough to have drivers education provided. They also studied death education, current health problems and even visited’ Harrison’s Funeral Home. Mr. Dale Sheets was replaced by Mr. Roy Swisher, who taught with Mrs. Teena Schnier.

Students of the various science classes, were taken on field trips, to acquaint themselves with the biological and scientifical issues in the Rockbridge community, this past year. Eighth grade science students, taught by Mr. Earl Edwards, held an assembly in March and hosted Colonel Dick Minnix as a guest speaker. Their program con- sisted of the study of nuclear reactions. Mr. Emory Potter and Ms. Marge Rose accompanied ninth grade students to the newly opened Natural Bridge Caverns. Here the students gained first hand information on the caverns and also had fun exploring at the lowest depth of 352 feet.

Though there were two unex- pected resignations during the year, the students readily ad- justed. Mrs. Lee Doane left at the end of the first semester and was replaced by Mr. Mike Shoope. Ms. Sandra Aldridge took Mrs. Billy- Joe Alpin’s place as a social studies teacher. Besides replacements, there were also student teachers such as Mr. Howard Adams and Mr. Robert Buckholder. The AFS exchange students opened the year by speaking to senior government classes about their countries. Juniors and seniors were busy in the last semester working on their research projects and giving reports on their topics. Displaying his World Geography agriculture project, Jeff Stone shares his knowledge with the class. As part of a sociology study on aging, Tonya Natkin and Anne Badgett visit with the oc- cupants of the Lexington House. 124 academics Speaking to a government class, Sue Moore from South Africa discusses the various customs and cultures of her coun- try. The Sociology course was divided into interesting topics, in- cluding marriage and old age which involves field trips to Lex- ington House and Lewis Funeral Home. Guest speakers such as a nurse, a minister, and a social worker were included in the schedule. Ms. Pat Randolph’s eighth grade World Geography students spent time learning about such countries as Yugoslavia, Iceland, South Africa, and Iran, and their own Rockbridge County. In spite of a busy schedule, the department teachers took time off from speaking at state professional meetings to plan for next year. The curriculum was reviewed and new text books were adopted for next year’s.

We are basicly Rockbridge County and Lexington City students who have lived here in Virginia most of our lives. The other section of stu- dents at LHS have been around the United States moving often and finally settling down in the Lexington area. There are also the people from foreign lands that at- tend LHS through the American Field Service or just move here on their own. All these add new life and an array of personalities, beliefs, and attitudes to our high school life. It’s an interesting one that varies the same old high school routine most of us are bored with. But where to after our five years of required schooling here? Many of us will stay in this area and work here, but a lot of us will also leave for college in other parts of the state and country. We will be revitalizing other parts of the country with our Lexington background and hopefully making other communities a little more in- teresting to live in for our neighbors.

After some discussion as to the destination of the trip, seniors finally decided that the journey would be to Washington, D.C., as it had in years past. By this time most seniors had made plans for after graduation, as they heard from colleges, joined the armed services or made plans for employment. As spring slowly arrived, senior thoughts turned away from books and toward the long- awaited weekend in May that would bring both the senior pic- nic and the prom. Realizing that their time together was limited, members of the class of ’79 began to appreciate each other more than ever before and close relationships and strong bonds were formed.

Glad to be through their high school years, seniors were also sorry to be leaving close friends as they went their separate ways. Full of confidence and also a little scared, seniors made their way into the “real world.” Reunion plans were made, many never to be realized.

They seriously chose as their leaders Lloyd Glenn, president; Jeff Knudson, vice-president; and Marie Tucker, secretary-treasurer. Representing the junior class on the Honor Committee were Denise Campbell and Mark Morgan. The first important task of the year was the construction of a float to represent the class in the annual Homecoming parade. Juniors chose “Jaws III” as their theme and secret work quickly began in Mollie Rorrer’s garage. Kelly Fallon and Bridgette Craney were chosen as Homecoming representatives and on the night of Homecoming found themselves lounging in front of a huge, red, papier- mache shark as they rode down Main Street.

A much larger increase in the class treasury resulted as junior girls ushered VMI football fans to their designated seats at home football games. Class spirit reached a peak as the juniors yelled loud enough at a pep rally to overcome the other classes in class competition for the first time ever. After days of practice, junior girls were finally ready to meet those senior girls on the football field in the annual Pow- derpuff game. Neither team could overcome the other as the game ended in a 6-6 tie. Judy Pleasants scored the only goal for the juniors. By October, the air was filled with talk of class rings.

The grand finale of the year was the junior senior prom. Juniors diligently painted ap- propriate scenes and desperately tried to keep the theme, “New York, New York,” a secret. By the night of May 5, the prom was labeled a success. The end of the school year rolled around quickly and most juniors’ thoughts turned expectantly to the future — the near future. In only three short months, their - last year at Lexington High School would begin. juniors 149 Class begins float, projects The sophomores returned from a warm restful vacation to start their third year at Lex- ington High School. New faces in the student body as well as the staff greeted them. To begin the year, the sophomores elected Liza Davis as president; Sara Peebles as vice-president; and as secretary treasurer, Mike Bowsher. During the first month of the new school year, plans were made to re-establish the Honor Committee which had been dissolved five years ago. Officers from each grade were chosen and Liza Davis was picked to represent the class. This committee was formed for the students’ benefit and with the help of the representatives, new rules and standards were made. Before long, money mak- cont.

Near the end of the year, Mr. Dave Andes, principal, initiated a new program in which teachers met during their planning periods in order to hold discus- sions in smaller groups than at faculty meetings. faculty 171 Paul Leonhard — Science 8, Chemistry JoAnne Marr — Math 8, Algebra I June Mays — Physical Education 8, 9 Wanda Leadbetter — English 8, 9 Rita Morgan — Guidance Ernest Lowery — Maintenance Marian Minnix — Geometry, Algebra I, II, Photo-jour- nalism 172 people +. ee Linda Perez — French I-IV Emory Potter — Science 9 Barbara Price — English 9, 11, 12 Neicy Nacker — Special Education Dot Newman — English 9, 11 Elizabeth Neal — Librarian faculty 173 174 people Elizabeth Ramsey — U.S. History, Economics William Pultz — Maintenance Nellie Reynolds — General Business, Typing I, Clerk I Pat Randolph — World Geography Elizabeth Rhodenizer — Secretary Majorie Rose — Science 8, 9 Joseph Sayblack — Reserved and Concert Bands © Teena Schnier — Physical Educa- tion 8-10 Pat Roberts — Librarian Nanalou Sauder — U.S. History, World History Dale Sheets — Physical Education 10 faculty 175 Lewis Straub—Drivers’ Educa- tion, Physical Education 8 Sally Simons—English 8, 12, Speech and Drama Daniel Snider—Agriculture I-V Mike Shoop—Government, Social Studies 8 dna Turner—Cafeteria 176 people ni Joan Whitesell—Steno 1, Typing I John Whitesell—Distributive Education I-III Mary Lou Williams—English 11, 12 Barbara Winfrey—Clerk II, Steno II Steve Yeakel—Social Studies, Government, World History Peggy Wright — Office Secretary faculty 177 178 groups ‘Will all members of a club at Lexington High School please report to the gym at this time.” If every student that is a member of a club or organization at LHS responded to this announcement, then the gymnasium would be fairly well-packed and the school nearly empty due to the fact that almost every LHS student is a member of at least one group or another. We all enjoy having our picture taken, but it is even more fun standing in a group with a bunch of your friends or clubmates and trying to act straight while the photographer points his camera at you. We at Lexington High School enjoy getting out of class to ham it up, make faces, and have our ex- pressions forever embossed in our school yearbook, the CRYSTAL. But being in a club involves more than just a group picture, it means participation in school activities other than academic work. And this is good, because school is more than just the classroom; it’s work- ing and having fun with others while benefitting the school and ourselves. So if you are in a club, try to participate as best you can; but if you’re not, try a club for a while, you and the school can thrive from it.

Without their support, the price of a single yearbook would skyrocket beyond the limits many of us could spend. Local businessmen know that the students at Lexington High School start to spend money in greater amounts and they are usually the first to benefit from the rising student spending. Eating out, renting tuxes, buying flowers, and purchasing automobiles are just a few of the ways we open our wallets and pocketbooks to the community economy. The local merchants tap Lexington High School as a source of income and they make their availability known to us through the advertisements in the CRYSTAL. They realize a great majority of the students scan through the ad section as well as the rest of the yearbook, and their advertisements are permanent for many years to come. So next time you look at the pictures in the ad section to see some people you know, take time to think about the area merchants and how they sup- port you, the yearbook, and the community. ads 201 R.

While there were some advan- tages to this system, there were also some unforeseen disadvan- tages. Nevertheless, the book is finished, due to a lot of love and hard work from different people. Tina Bowyer was the layout editor and Fred Rindge was copy editor. Mike Goodbar was photography editor and Mollie Joynes was the business manager. I would also like to ex- press my thanks to Gary Joyce, David Sprunt, Leslie Harris, Lori Norford and Sue Moore, who spent time during their summer vacation in order to complete the book. A special word of thanks to Mrs. Marian Minnix, our advisor and teacher, for making us work even when we were tired and discouraged. Mr. Arnold Ward, our representative from Max Ward — Delmar Studios, was always available to answer any questions and I am grateful to him and to all the Crystal staff. Best of Luck to Tina Bowyer, as next year’s editor. Mary Lou Hundley editor-in-chief ed note 221 Memories of year important though impressions may differ Though students were together during the same year and attended the same school, the impressions left by 1978-79 are different for each individual. There are memories that will be shared by many people, and other, more personal ones. Only a few will remember catching a touchdown pass, but many more will remember jumping, yelling and applauding at that same moment on the football field. Most juniors and seniors will not forget nights at the library as term paper deadline drew near, but the memory of that pop quiz the one day you didn’t do the assignment may last longer. No matter what your impressions of this year are, it is important to hold on to memories — the ones in this book, and the ones in your own heart. While studying pulleys and weights, Liza Davis, Suzy Nay and Cheryl Clark look at the equipment they'll use in physics class. Receiving instructions from principal David Andes, members of the senior class rehearse for graduation exercises. As the daughter of Mr. Earl Edwards carries the crown, Mr. David Andes prepares to an- nounce the Homecoming Queen. 222 closing Dancing to the beat of the music.
