26 spring Trips, Tours, And Term Papers Winter seemed to drag on way past the first day of spring. Low tempera- tures and whipping winds kept stu- dents from unpacking their bright spring wardrobes. The weather wasn't only a problem here in Lexing- ton, but all through Virginia and all across the United States. This was confirmed as phone calls were placed to friends and relatives just to keep in touch and to report the activities keeping us busy. Spring is always an active season. This year was no different. The music department kicked off the season with its annual Spring Variety Show. The acts were full of the vigor and bright- ness of the season. The choir traveled to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania for the exchange trip after Phoenixville’s choir visited Lex- ington. The band started a new tradi- tion and decided to take their trip to Buckroe Beach, Virginia where their director, Mr. Charles Torian grew up. In May, the Spring Concert and Art Show featured the band and choir to- gether and the year’s accomplish- ments of the art classes. The Art Club also took a trip to another city, Washington, D.C. The 48-hour trip was especially exciting for the eighth grade members of the club. Washington buzzed with L.H:S. stu- dents this spring because the yearly senior trip also took place in the na- tion's capitol. It was a cold, windy day as the class toured the capitol, the Su- preme Court, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. As the weather started to be more characteristic of spring, the students became even more enthusiastic. After term papers were turned in, even be- fore they were graded, it was hard to control spring fever and seniorittis. Eighth graders Patty Gardner, Carey Brown, and Elizabeth Rogers, warm them- selves in the early afternoon sun.
