8 chrono The end of another decade at Lexington High School was marked by the revitalized honor code and a dwindling school spirit. 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.
