Blazin’ Saddles The Senior Class sponsored some rip-roarin’ fun to begin the year. The Homecoming Dance gathered a large dancing crowd at L.H.S. The theme, “Blazing Saddles’ brought out the “country”’ in all who attended. The decorations provided the southern atmosphere, along with two mannequins to join in the fun. The D. J. provided all kinds of tunes, in- cluding good ole country music. The energetic crowd kept him rolling the records, without hesitation. The Homecoming court represented L.H.S. well.

Piece of Cake In the 1983 Homecoming game; Lexington vs. Glenvar, the Hurricane came out on top 35-21. Lexington came out confident that they could put several points on the board and could stop the Glenvar of- fense for a homecoming win. The fired up hurricanes did just that by grabbing a 21-0 halftime lead. At halftime the homecoming court was presented. The 1983-84 Queen, Sue Vess was crowned by George Warren. Lynne Draper was named, Maid-of-Honor. When the hurricane returned to the field they continued their strong play by going up to a 35-0 lead by the start of the final period. In the final period Glenvar scored 21 points but the mighty hurricane won 35-21. At the game’s close all three of the Hur- ricane Running Backs gained over 100 yards each. This set school record. Showing lots of school spirit for Homecom- ing week was Monica Wilson. Ninth grader Pipa Stewart, being escorted by Scott Williams, truly represents her class.
