Stepping _ into a world of learning, responsibility, and good times. The halls of LHS are full of memories: all the homework you did (or didn't) do, cramming for exams, joking around with your friends and catching up ' on some sleep. During the summer you get used to going to Goshen and coming back with sun bleached hair and totally soaked. No sooner do you start to get a good tan and it’s the first day of school already. Most people are glad to get back to studying _ (yeah, right!) and seeing all their friends _ again. Homecoming is there before you know _ it. This year there was some pretty fierce competition for the crown of the Queen. In the end Jennifer Goodyear won. Home- coming was a bit different this year be- cause one contender wanted to taste the victory of being the Homecoming Queen. Michael Van Ness. ‘‘A guy for Homecoming Queen?!’ Sure! Why not? Mike looked up the rules and found that there was nothing keeping him from going for it. He went at it full force but in the end he lost to Jennifer. He took it like a man and was not upset be- cause he wasn’t Queen. This year the foot- ball team drove the fans crazy as our Coach Dennis Vaught brought us many victories. Basketball bounced off to a great start, a definite change from last year. Basketball is the American sport and out team kept up the great tradition by running over the other teams. Being motherly, Janice Fritchman points out the length of Freddie Harrington's hair. No, it's not the Jacksons, but it is Tyler Turner, Tyrone Turner, and Mike Cooper, relaxing in the hall during the Homecoming dance. Opening 5 A dim spot this year was that the Gym- nastics team didn’t work out. Our athletic department decided not to have a team be- cause there were no other schools in the single A division; also we could not get in- surance or a qualified coach. It was too bad we didn’t have a team after last year’s Suc- cess. The tennis team had an awesome year, showing new style, new form and most of all, Skill. This was a year in which we were saddened over the departure of Mr. Reynolds our principal, but we have gotten to know the new principal, Mrs. Tillery and have found a worthy replacement for Mr. Reynolds. These are the years that will remain with us forever. They are the door to our pasts as well as the key to our future. We must remember this year for the class of 88 is going ‘‘Through the Looking Glass” into a totally different life: The Real World... — Nathan Heatley — Brad Householder Mom, where did the shower curtains go?

As for | : | different Many things come to your mind when you think of the life of LHS stu- dents. You think about Soc-Hops, Prom, the latest fads and of g (lan course getting out of school to enjoy your social life. But no matter what you try to associate with stu- dent life, it always dwindles back down to what goes on at school, so here’s a close up look at the lives Of the LHS stu- dents. Student Life 9 Lexington is a town where fads come and go. One of the fads that had a serious following was known as the Jolt Dynasty in a world where ‘‘crisp clean and no caffeine” was the rule. Jolt-heads flooded the streets chant- ing, ‘‘All the sugar and twice the caffe- ine.” Jolt fanatics quickly realized that Jolt Cola was a liquid No Doz. Soon people were chugging a 6-pack a day so they could make it through the day. Jolt abuse has declined though since people realized you should ‘Just say no!” Now at LHS people are into hair or 10 Fads the lack of it. Just ask Freddie Har- rington who was attacked by a Weed Eater one day. Later other students took weed eaters to their heads and the next ‘‘cool thing’’ was started. Some think that excessive hair is where it’s at; Just ask Nosferatu, the friendly neighborhood thrash band, where the longer the hair, the better. Leather jackets were everywhere this year from flight jackets to Harley Davidson jackets. Some get them so they can have the George Michael look, while others go for the ‘‘don't mess 4 with me or I'll kill you’’ look. Most people wear them with plain old Levis, but even then Levis aren't the same. You've got your faded ones, holey ones, bleached ones, acid washed and black jeans. Life couldn't get more complicated. This years fads may fade like old jeans but the class of 88 will always re- member them. — Brad Householder — Dwight Inman Showing the look that kills, Ryan Bland has long hair and wears a heavy metal shirt like so many other LHS students.

Fads 11 S-P-|- R-I-T LHS Celebrates Homecoming Homecoming week started off with a colorful blast. On Monday students dressed up in bed clothes. On Tuesday they wore their favorite jerseys. On Wednesday they wore their clothes backwards. On Thursday all wore cos- tumes and Red and White on Friday showed school spirit. Not only did the student body dress up to show their spirit but also there was a soc-hop and bonfire. On the day of the game the cheerleaders held an outdoor pep rally on Brewbaker Field. At the end of the pep Rally some “Senior Terrorists’ kidnapped Miss Elizabeth Ramsey, our U.S. History teacher. The football team received a ransom note stating that a victory would insure her safety and release. Later that Friday night, the Hur- ricane football team would crush Riverheads. Riverheads was predicted FORWARDS! BACKWARDS! OK his head is screwed on backwards. 12 Homecoming to beat LHS but was knocked down a few notches. In the first half of the game the Hurricane rolled right over Riverheads by scoring 15 points; the Opposing team remained scoreless. During haif time Miss Ramsey escaped and announced the Homecoming Court. There were two repre- sentatives from each of the classes. The representatives were escorted on to the field while the band played. Rep- resenting the Freshman class were Becky Staton and Michelle Reynolds; Sophomore reps were Julie Read and Michelle Goodyear; from the Junior class were Carla Smothers and Missy Philips and Senior class reps were Dominique Carter and Christy Painter. After the representatives were es- corted on to the field, then came the nominees for Homecoming Queen, Jennifer Goodyear and Michael Van- Homecoming Day, during our outdoor pep rally the cheerleaders show us who has really got the spirit. Ness, escorted by Bryan Schwab. The tension and excitement increased as all wondered who our Queen was. Mr. Reynolds, the principal of Lexington High School announced that the 1987 Homecoming Queen was Miss Jennifer Goodyear. After half time was over the Hur- ricane came out fighting again. They didn’t score any more but that was Okay. The defense only allowed River- heads to put six points on the board. It wasn’t enough. LHS went on to win the game 15 to 6. The win against Riverheads was a boost for the Homecoming Dance. The dance was held on the Saturday after the football game. This dance isn’t just for Lexington High School students; it is also for alumni. This year quite a few graduates attended the Homecoming festivities. The Homecoming Court was announced again during the dance and our Queen Jennifer Goodyear and her court were escorted by the football players. This year’s Homecoming was excit- ing, dramatic, classy, and stylish and enjoyed by everyone. — Krystal Newcomer a = “WHAT?

Homecoming 13 RUNNers Some actors and actresses spon- sored by the Rockbridge Concert Theatre Series came to LHS for a Thurs- day assembly between 5th and 6th periods. They portrayed five teenagers who had run away and were now ina shelter reflecting on how they could have dealt differently with their home situations. The five different indi- viduals being portrayed were Charlie, Tony, Weazy, J.T., and Ashley. Together they discussed a touching but impor- 14 Runners tant issue with humor and sometimes sadness. The actors covered all the aspects of running away and tried to get in touch with the students at LHS. It was a very brilliant and ingenious way to help teenagers sort through the many feelings that they have. They ended up by giving a toll free number (1-800-231-6946) that potential “Runners” could call. — Nathan Heatley “Boss, de plane, de plane.” It may look like the star Of Fantasy Island but actually it’s William Sayers making a point to the audience.

The Herff Jones Representative, Jim Wolk, has just helped Robert Fix take another step toward Graduation. 16 First Step First Announcements It was Thursday morning, December 3 when Herff Jones representative, Mr. Jim Wolk, arrived at LHS. Seniors were anxiously waiting to order announce- ments, receive their tassels, be mea- sured for caps and gowns, and take care Of any other matter that was needed. This was the first major step toward graduation for the Class of 1988. Room 203 was definitely not the place to be that day. It was a Mad- house; Seniors were everywhere! The room got fuller every minute because no one wanted to go back to class. Senior Monique Stewart thought it was really thrilling to know that gradu- ation was right around the corner. Steg Although most of the Senior class wa excited about ordering announce men ts, some forgot all about thi event and didn't bring their money, s they had to suffer and wait until the following Monday to visit the Herff Jones representative. Ann Duncan felt that getting announcements wasn't a really big deal. “It was a great way to get out of Chemistry, but I’m not going to worry about announcements until May.” | In the end it was a very exciting but hectic day. The Class of ’88 has made One step toward graduation. We just hope everyone will hang in there until June. — Stephanie Coleman Nike Air Revolution Etienne Aigner K-Swiss fi Tretorn % J ices f Xeon The Shoes Have It The latest fad around school is what type of shoe you're wearing. For the guys it’s what brand of tennis shoes you have that matters the most. The most popular shoe for a guy is either Nike-Air, British Knights, or K-Swiss. The latest tennis shoe craze is L.L. Cool J. Troop. The shoe has the rap star’s name stamped on the side in really big letters. So if you’re wearing a pair of these tennis shoes you’re moving up in life. The running price for any pair of these shoes is usually $50 and up. The biggest problem for the girls is finding a pair of shoes to match their whole wardrobe, which is a very dif- ficult task. Just about any type or color dress shoe will do for most girls. Tennis shoes are really becoming an “in thing” with the ladies now. Most girls wear Tretorn, which usually look good with just about anything. L.L. Cool J. Troop The Latest Shorts Craze Short-shorts aren't allowed in school but that doesn’t matter any- more because everyone is wearing shorts down to his knees or below. If you take a look around, you will see that most people are wearing long, baggy shorts and a nice comfortable T- shirt to go along with them. These Hind Running Shorts long shorts are probably a favorite of most of the students but a new twist has been added to the wide world of shorts. The latest craze is biking shorts. These shorts are long and fit as though they are a second skin. They come in an array of colors and you can get a pair that is checkered, striped or plaid. Most people wear the type that has a stripe down each side. The price of these shorts runs from $25 to $100. A very stylish pair will probably cost you about 50 bucks but you can find a nice pair for about $32. No matter how much the shorts cost, you will def- initely be in the right fashion flow. Biking Shorts Canondale Biking Shorts Mini-Mag 17 18 Mini-Mag Many student athletes feel that the | football team gets a little more atten- | tion than it deserves. During a pep rally held for the football team and the girls’ basketball team a few of the girls de- cided to speak up on this matter. The girls invited the members of the various teams of LHS up on stage to be recog- nized by the student body. Many of | - these athletes were not known by rai their fellow classmates because of the lack of attention they were receiving during school time. The girls hoped to give these unknown ath- Cae — letes a boost in spirits and some much needed support. a The foot- f. were a little upset over this event but they got over it after they realized that it was the truth. Hopefully in the future all of the athletes will be known and not just a choice few. This year there was almost a boycott of the school cafeteria. Many students complained about the taste of the ket- chup and the temperature of the food. A petition was started by two students to take to the school board. Flyers were printed and passed out asking the students to pack their lunches for two days. AS planned this caused a great number of problems so the boycott was called off and a meeting was set up with | - Mr. Warren and Mrs. Johnson, the cafeteria manager, to discuss the problem. During the meeting an agreement was reached to forma committee that would meet once a month.

Tara Hood -Mag 19 ini M Welcome to the New... Scientist or Artist? Mr. Chris Bowring, arecent graduate of Washington and Lee University, has joined our teaching staff here at LHS. The question is, what kind of a teacher is he? Mr. Bowring is teaching Earth Sci- ence but he does it with the skill of an art teacher. If you walk past his class- room and the door is open, you might happen to catch a glimpse of bright colors. Suddenly you stop dead in your tracks and head back towards his doorway. Once back you find out that all of those bright colors are a part of a very impressive picture of the earth, or a diagram of wavelengths. You might even see an elaborate drawing show- ing the erosion of the soil. Keeping order in the halls during lunchtime is one of Mr. Vaught’s favorite pastimes. Pleased after hearing her students rehearse one of their pieces, Ms. Dewey flashes a smile for the camera. 20 Mini-Mag nek a deny iat ne $ Be ‘4 ri ‘ah ‘ pe ee ee dy Ai By ote A New Start Three more faces have wandered into the halls of LHS. Mrs. Lollis has made an excellent addition to our math department. She teaches Analy- sis, Consumer Math, and General Math. Mr. Vaught who is also the varsity football coach and athletic director, teaches Economics and Introduction to Business. He had a very productive year during his football season. The music department also started off On a new note. Miss Dewey, a new band and choir director, also started her first year here at LHS. All of these newcomers have had a very successful year even though they had to come into a new environment and start from scratch. We would like to wish each of them good luck in the years to come. Keep up the good work! — Tara Hood In front of one of his materpieces, Mr. Bowrinc discusses the biological structure of the eartr with Ilven Thompson. After drawing a few diagrams, MS. Lollis tries 5 explain why two lines are parallel. Leaving Memories _ Mrs. Minnix has been teaching here at LHS for 13 years. She has taught everything from Math 8 and Math 9 to Geometry and Calculus. The only subject she hasn't taught is Math 2. Mrs. Minnix is now quitting her job because of physical prob- lems. She has very much enjoyed her time here. She said that she will really miss the students and staff the most. During her time here she has made many friends and nates to leave them all. Mrs. Minnix has taught many children in her time. She said that she has taught past students’ children. When she first started teaching she was only four years older than her students. She even taught the mayor of Buena Vista. One of the things she enjoyed the most was working on the yearbook staff for four years. She has also been the advisor to the Honor Committee and the National Honor Society for about five or six years. After returning papers, Ms. Marshall eagerly awaits any comments on the grades. crewell to the Retiring Sharing a little of her free time, Ms. Minniz ex- plains how to work out a calculus problem to Brian Jenkins. Mrs. Minnix said “I'll miss watching the students growing up. It’s really interesting to see the changes in the students’ size and the boys’ height and the girl’s looks. Teaching is a very rewarding occupation in that you gain as well as give. The students keep teachers young. They make you think the way they do.” Mrs. Minnix said that she will miss the members of the Math department be- cause they've always been very close. Now Mrs. Minnix will soend her time re- laxing. We are very sorry to see her go. We appreciate her 13 years of faithful service very much. Also retiring is Mrs. Marshall. She has been at LHS for eight years. When asked how she felt about leaving Mrs. Marshall stated that she has mixed feelings. She is very happy to start a new phase of her life, but doesn’t want to leave her wonderful co-workers. She also said that she'll miss her students and especially the ninth graders. While she was here she worked with the Drama Club, Forensics and the Yearbook Staff and has taught 8, 9, 11 and 12th grade English classes, and she was also the 9th and 11th grade class sponsor. Mrs. Marshall said that she will return to school on cold days to bring Ms. Ramsey a hot bowl of chili. — Tara Hood Mini-Mag 21 Oddi ¥ Ends Odds ¥ Ends Oddi ¥ Endy Flower Girls Deck the halls with balloons and flowers. Almost every day you can walk down the hall and see the familiar 22 Mini-Mag sight Of someone carrying balloons and flowers. Every year dozens of flower arrangements are delivered to unsuspecting girls by the local florists. The flowers and balloons arrive on any occasion — anniversaries, birthdays or just a nice day, but whatever day you can be sure to find a smile on that lucky girl’s face. Maybe one day you will be one of the lucky ones. Flashing a winning smile for the camera, senior Jennifer Goodyear carries around the balloons she received during lunch. This is just one of the posters that were put up to keep students from drinking and driving. Becoming Aware Drug awareness has become a major issue at LHS, and many different things have been done to make students think before they drink or do drugs. The SCA posted some really gruesome posters on the walls to get their point across. Drinking and driving just isn'ta safe thing to do. Too many lives are lost every year because someone decided that he would have just one more drink before he left or because someone was pressured into joining the “in group.” Don't let someone talk you into doing something you don't want to. Remember that you can just say NO! to drugs and YES! to life. We want to see you make something of yourself. — Tara Hood | Spring Fever Hits LHS Outdoor Action April insanity has taken over the students at LHS and has moved them outdoors into the sun. There, the students become accustomed to the warm weather and outdoor fun. The students have an opportunity to get outside during lunch every day, and they use this time to the fullest. Another opportunity comes around once every four years and that occurs when Washington and Lee holds the Mock Convention. This convention draws students out of classes by the truck loads. This year only twenty-six students showed up for classes on the day of the parade. With this information in mind, you should be able to figure out that spring fever is contagious! — Topher Jones Enjoying the ride during the Mock Convention Parade the minks of W L sip their full cups. Armed and dangerous, these W L students are ready to do battle after the parade. A typical scene during lunch is LHS students enjoying the warm weather. Spring Fever 23 The Place To Be Hanging out is the one vocabulary word that every American teenager knows inside and out. Every high school student has his own clear def- inition of “Hanging Out.” To hangout, in general, means exactly what it sounds like. Agroup of kids pick a place that is either quiet or noisy. This place must be a central location where their everyday problems can be ignored or washed down with a coke. Lexington High School kids are under a lot of pressure to be the best that they can be. Preparing for SAT’s, sending out college applications, fin- ishing their homework before ‘‘Family Ties” etc. etc. take time. They almost. have to have some time off to catch a breath or enjoy small talk. Most kids go to the river and lie out, or some meet 24 Hanging Out in front of Dwight Inman’s house. Other locations are The Subway or even something as simple as McDonald's. The conversations span from who's going out with whom to the final score between the Keydets and ECU. Some kids choose occasion- ally to sit back by themselves and just think. Gahl Nir, a foreign exchange student from Israel said that the most extra- ordinary things about American cul- ture are the teenage customs. These are the things of our adolescence that we will always remember — just hang- ing out. — Nathan Heatley Steve Ludt knows nobody will suspect him of hanging out in the library. enero The place where no student goes. . .

Dazzles seniors This spring Lexington High School seniors invaded the DC area. The senior trip to Washington has been a tradition for 20 years. Once again, students suffering from lack of sleep arrived at the school at 4:00 A.M. From there we boarded two Quick buses and were on our way. A few people were lucky enough to get a little sleep be- fore arriving in our nation’s capital. Our first task, aS a group, was to go to breakfast. We ate in a cafeteria just in- side of Washington and then set out for the Captiol building. Once there, we had a group picture taken on the Capitol steps, as thousands had done before us, and then were delivered an introductory speech by one of Jim Olin’s aids. From the building’s steps we travelled inside and were directed through a series of metal detectors. Some students passed through these with less trouble than others. One stu- dent, after having removed all jewelry, was then forced to take off her metal tipped shoes to avoid setting off the detector. After the initial excitement of finding ourselves in one of the most important buildings in the U.S. we settled down for several tours. We sat in on a special committee of Congress dealing with AIDS and saw the Senate floor. Before leaving the building every student had become personally Reflected on the Vietnam War Memorial are the leaders of the years to come, the Seniors of Lexington High School. acquainted with most of the hallways in the buildings. The next stop on our trip was the judicial building. Most students went in to look around, but a few remained outside to enjoy the sunshine and watch the protestors. Following this brief stop, we boarded the two buses and traveled to the National Mall. Many students were disappointed to find that this was not a shopping mall, but most spent their time exploring mu- seums, eating lunch, and, again, enjoy- ing the sunshine. After we met the buses for the third or fourth time, we were transported to the Lincoln Mem- Orial and the Vietnam War Memorial. While at the Vietnam Memorial, a re- spectful silence descended upon the group for what was, quite possibly, the first time that day. The next destin- ation was the Arlington National Cem- etery and The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and our final stop was a shop- ping mall in Alexandria. Once there, we spent any remaining money on food, clothes, or more importantly, bat- teries for our tape players. Our three chaperons, Mr. Stinespring, Mrs. Sau- der, and Mrs. Lollis were relieved to find the trip back a quiet one. This si- lence can be attributed to the fact that, after having walked at least 30,000 miles, few seniors had the en- ergy to move, much less cause any trouble. Though the trip was an ex- hausting one, it was definitely worth the trouble. — Cindy Coalter Senior Trip 27 28 Dress Code Lee Sherwood — ‘She's got legs, she knows how to use them.” — ZZ Top Even a dress code can't stop Senior Mike Van- Ness from displaying his taste in refresnments. z a ¢ ff +} z m w m ad HOUR MASH WHISK Did Your Momma Dress You? Everyone has a general idea of the basic rights of man. Freedom for speech, freedom of press and... What's that!? Oh yeah. Freedom of ex- ‘pression. That can range from a pierced nose to tight leather pants. _ At the beginning of the 1987-88 school year, our man with the plan, the ‘sensible principal, Mr. Jonn Reynolds told the classes that we couldn't wear ‘clothes that did not represent LHS ‘well. The punishment for committing clothing sin was a friendly reminder from Mr. Reynolds that you should go ‘home and change into appropriate clothes. Many people were asked their ‘opinion of the dress code, but Yates ‘Spenser summed up the overall thought of the student body: “I do un- ‘derstand it (clothes with holes in strat- egic places) could rile up certain innate emotions amongst the opposite sex; however, | cannot fathom the notion ‘that exposing ones kneecaps gener- ates a gap in the educational process.” Contrary to what most students )think, the dress code was not created iby authoritative adults in three piece suits. It was formed by four students who gave their opinions of what the golden rule should be. Just in case you are unsure of our Code of Dress here it is. 1. Hats will not be worn in school. 2. Allshorts or mini-skirts must be at least mid-thigh in length. 3. No student will wear a tank top without a shirt or overblouse. Halters will not be worn in school. Mesh ‘‘see-through” jerseys will not be worn without undershirts. 6. Ripped-up trousers, jeans, shorts, or T-shirts will not be worn in school. 7. Students will not wear apparel that advertises beer, liquor, or drugs; students will not wear apparel imprinted with sugges- tive messages. 8. Apparel designed exclusively for athletic performances or prac- tices will not be worn to classes other than gym classes (example gym shorts, half tops). 9. Underwear or clothing primarily designed as underwear must be A= worn under appropriate clothing and must not be visible. Running tights and dance tights can be worn, but only under ap- propriate clothing, such as a mini- skirt or dress. Personally | feel that as adults-to-be we should be able to gauge the way we should dress. Most upper classmen should have the ability to dress them- selves without set guidelines. If the upper classmen dress in a certain fashion then the underclassmen will most likely follow the trend. If you think this is a rather opinionated ar- ticle then you are right, because in my opinion the Dress Code is for children. — Brad Householder 10.

The Senior Picnic wasn't quite what everyone expected. A constant drizzle of rain managed to put a damper on most peoples’ plans, but all in all everyone managed to enjoy them- selves. The Physics classes, directed by Mr. Jack Donald, prepared the food and got everything packed up and ready to go. Once everyone got there anyone who had shorts on decided to change into warm clothes, except for those daring individuals who wanted to take a dip in the freezing cold water, rain or Shine! Quite a few people went into the water despite their protest and pleas that it was too cold and they didn't have any dry clothes to put on afterwards. Many of the students that ventured into the water ended up standing in front of the fire trying to regain circulation in their bodies. Sev- eral teachers kept their distance from the water for fear they would be thrown in. Despite the dreary weather, the students were able to make the best of the picnic. Some of the students played a game of mud volleyball and danced inside by the warm fire, but the brave ones who climbed the tower and rode down the cables to experi- ence what it’s like to swim in freezing i la aaa il ee % 30 Senior Picnic cold water were fighting their way in- side to put some warm, dry clothes on. Many other students engulfed thems- elves in a memorable game of Twister inside to keep each other warm. The jukebox with the latest hit singles “Dabutt,” ‘Wishing Well,” and “Sweet Home Alabama,” was the major attrac- tion for most bored students. Other students occupied themselves on the video games. There were also students who were busy hiding from the guys trying to keep from being thrown into the water. Most of the teachers had a pleasant time except for the ones who had to cook a hamburger for Tara Hood. Tara complained to Mr. Donald and Mr. Stinespring that the hamburger wasn't cooked enough so MS. Williams and Mrs. Larsen had to cook her ham- burger for another twenty minutes. Of course Tara had to ask for cheese which took another five minutes, but in the end the teachers produced a superb well-done hamburger for her.

He has also done some traveling to Key West, New York, and California, but says that Lexington is big enough for him since his home town has 450 people.

Whenever you make a bad grade, or break up with your girlfriend or boyfriend you need someone who will be there to talk to. This is the parta best friend plays in your life. He dep- ends on you to be there for him and in return he will be there for you. When people think back to their high school years they are reminded of the two people that were always seen together. It always makes whatever they do fun. This year we had plenty of best friends. By about your junior or senior year you have figured out who your real friends are and you are ready to leap out into the world. This is justa collection of a few best friends so that you won't forget the “old days.” So! get out your looking glass and re- member! — — Nathan Heatley 34 Best Friends Trashing the Blues .. .

The junior class provided a cake for prom. Trying to get the gym ready for prom are juniors Sherry Smith, Ashley Sherrill, Pete Strong, and Billy Staton. Prom 37 AY You can feel . the tension in the air as prom grows closer. Girls go store to store looking for just the right dress. Guys get measured for the perfect fit. There are many steps involved in preparing for this exciting occasion. Everybody has his own interpretation of this. Some make dinner reservations; others stay home and prepare their date a de- licious dinner. People’s plans for prom were suddenly changed at the last minute with little details or inter- ruptions, but somehow everyone man- aged to make the best out of prom. This year there was a wide variety of dresses and tuxes. Some men wore white; some stuck with the traditional black. A few even went out on a limb and wore a grey tux. A few guys chose to combine colors in their suits. The ladies seemed to like the mini or tea- length prom dresses. These dresses were a lot more stylish and seemed to get more attention this year. But even 38 Prom the ones who wore the traditional full- length dress looked es- pecially nice. After all the confusion and rush, the time has finally come to show off your attire. Arriving in a nice car you step out to begin the evening. Your heart beats as you hear the band, Casper, playing in the back of the gym. The lights shine and Miss Williams and Mrs. Gray smile at you just inside the door. It's too late to turn back now. You have entered the Prom Zone. If you were lucky, you got a good seat at a table. Some stayed on their feet the whole night, dancing. Murals from wall to wall covered the gym and the hall. The theme was very well reflected in the art work. It was very much like an “Arabian Night.’’ Glen Pegari and Xiaolong Cai worked diligently helping with their murals. Their knowledge of artwork helped out greatly, but every- body showed a talent in decorations. About 10:15 P.M. the seniors were lining up to march underneath the palm trees. The senior dance pretty much concluded the evening for lots of tired juniors and seniors. Overall the 1987-1988 prom was a huge success to those who participated. — Stephanie Coleman — Nathan Heatley Looking into one another's eyes are seniors Jennifer Goodyear and Jason Whittaker.

Prom 39 Graduation Freshman, sophomore, junior and now, your senior year. This was it, a time that will make or break you. Your whole summer you were contemplat- ing your senior year. Will | make it? Will | be exempt from exams? Will | have the same friends? These are the same thoughts that run through every ris- ing senior’s head all over the world. Graduation is the symbolic finish and you have ‘every second of your gradu- ation memorized down pat in your head. You are waiting for the measur- ing of your cap and gown size. You have all your announcements mailed off. Now, your time is up and all of your younger years are behind you. The nervousness and relief play see saw with your stomach. It's time to walk down that aisle and grab that piece of paper that will be a part of you forever. This year the senior class was a lively, but yet resourceful crew. Seniors en- joyed the good times with their friends and family, but still hit the books harder than a law student. Many seniors got early acceptances to many prestigious colleges or universities. ane Sherlock patiently waits to hear his name called. 40 Graduation Some just plain got accepted to some great schools. Organizing played a key part in every aspect of being a senior. You have to maintain order to survive and to secure a good life after high school. Overall every last senior this year helped achieve a certain portion of his goals for the year. This year grad- uation was just as pretty as before. It was held in Cameron Hall just like the past 7 years. This was the best and most successful graduation and of course the best year. As the seniors marched across the stage for their diplomas, they were greeted by the smiling faces of Bryan Schwab and Susie Peppers as val- edictorians and Lori Rnodenizer as Salutatorian. Brian Jarvis, class pres- ident was also one of the speakers. Mrs. Tillery, Our brand new principal, kindly passed out the diplomas to each and every senior as Mr. John Reynolds, Our former principal, read the names.

One of the major ques- tions at LHS is “Who won the game?” No matter where you are during the course of a school day you hear that ques- tion at least fifty times.

We ac- complished far more than was ever ex- pected of us at the beginning of the season. The boys went into this season having lost three of our top five runners from last year, but we only lost to three single A teams all season long, Knocking off many AA and AAA teams in the process. By the end of the season, we had racked up an im- pressive record. We won one in- vitational, finished runner-up in an- other, finished sixth in a thirty-team invitational (most of the other teams from larger schools), finished runner- up at the district and regional meets, and fourth at the state meet. The girls’ team was equally if not more impressive. Coming off a season in which the girls had had no team, an improvement was inevitable, but suc- cess was not. The girls’ team had only five varsity runners, the smallest number possible that is still able to compete at varsity. But every single one of the girls ran her best race every race. It was a team consensus that we didn't want any more girls running — not because we disliked other girls but because our five were good enough, better than any other five we could bring in. The girls ended the season having finished runner-up in one in- vitational and first at the regional meet, the only post-season race they were able to compete in as a team. The individual names and honors were also impressive. For the boys, four runners earned All-District honors. Freshman Reid Spice led the way at the district meet by placing second overall. Seniors Bryan Schwab, Brian Jarvis, and Chris Staton followed by placing fifth, seventh, and eleventh respectively. The next week, Bryan Schwab, Reid Spice, and Brian Jarvis earned All-Regional honors by their re- spective fifth, seventh, and fifteenth place finishes. And finally, at the state meet, Schwab and Spice made their claims to fame as two of the top runners in the state of Virginia by out- running nearly everyone in the race. Schwab placed seventh, and Spice fol- lowed just six seconds behind for tenth place. Both earned All-State honors. On the girls’ side the individual honors were equally admirable. Leigh Sherwood led the way by remaining undefeated in every race she finished, including both the Alcova Invitational and the Blue Ridge Invitational as well as the Regional meet. Her unfortunate fall at the State meet while she was tied for the lead eliminated Lexington from team competition but could not dampen all that the team had ac- complished. Paige Icard ran im- pressively throughout the season, Capping it off with a fourth place finish at States and All-State honors. Names and individual honors say a lot for the team, but it was not just those names that made 1987 a good year for LHS Cross Country. Everyone brought something to the team. Coach Brown worked us hard and never gave up on us. Coach O'Brian made sure we got through every workout and always made us aware of “what we’re gonna do.’ Ben Whaley added his wit and humor. Myra Brown was the one on the team who wasn't afraid to complain to the coach — her dad. Shannon Maini showed a lot of guts for a little bit of glory as she com- peted in the last few meets with a stress fracture in her leg. She wanted the girls to run as a team. Doug John- son kept us serious and determined on those kinds of days when we wanted to do something weird — like stop and get senior pictures. Jeff Nuckols gave us experience and paced us through many of our hard workouts. Julié Coffey was always there to seek and destroy the dangers of the run, such as hidden tree stumps. lan Wallace claimed he was a wimp at running, but he proved to us he was a tank or Turntec shoes. Eight-graders Charlie Green and Becky McCaughrin gave us taste of something good to come tc LHS Cross Country. And as for the movers and the shakers, the All: Districts, All-Regions, and All-States we each added our own bit of flare tc the team: Brian Jarvis, his consistency i | ind hard work; Reid Spice, his early rise 0 stardom along with his provocative yersions Of some of today’s biggest ‘ock hits; Leigh Sherwood, her tre- nendous running ability and outgoing riendliness; Paige Icard, her hard vork throughout the season which ‘ook her and her crazy tights to the op; and as for me (Bryan Schwab) | can't say too much or Miss Williams will some after me with a big stick or one of her yearbook staff bullies.

Cross Country 45 ‘Where's the fire?” There’s no fire; it’s just the Cheerleaders showing their school spirit at the Homecoming pep rally. 46 Cheerleading Through the Words Is This A Sport? Alot of times people consider cheer- leaders just another group of useless girls. This is the first year that cheer- leading has been considered a sport and | think that is a wise decision. As a cheerleader | know the different ac- tivities we do, and believe it or not, these activities are strenuous and time consuming. For example, during foot- ball and basketball season, cheerlead- ers practice to become better and better. Almost every year cheerlead- ers go to camp for a week during the summer and work all day and into the night on cheers, stunts, dance routines, and various exercises. | believe people take cheerleaders for granted. It takes a lot of time to learn new cheers just as it takes time to learn a new football play. I'm not saying that cheerleading is so impos- sible to do, but it takes coordination, which doesn’t come easily to some people. One question that! think needs to be answered is, what would it be like ata football or basketball game without cheerleaders? If you say we are better off without them, then! say you might want to think again. Imagine sitting on the bleachers and the team makes a great play — there are no cheerleaders to get the crowd fired up. Some people who sit in the bleachers like to suggest what chants to do, but without cheerleaders, who would start the chant? | hope people can ap- preciate cheerleaders for who they are — hardworking, enthusiastic, school- spirited people with a lot of guts! — Traci Smith JV Front Row: Rebecca Montgomery, Sarah Trussell, Karey Ruley, Mrs Gray; Back Row: Missy Henson, Stacey Clark, Carri Coalter.

After los- ing the tough games early in the sea- son and starting off 2-5 the team pulled some upsets, going on a five game winning streak to improve their record to 7-5. In the remainder of the season they went on to win six out of nine games. The team won a tough game against Natural Bridge in the op- ening round of the district tourna- ment 44-43. Then they faced the top team in the district in Glenvar. They played the whole game, but lost 66-53. The team, well-balanced in scoring, was led by Tara Hood and Krystal New comer. Others that made major contri butions were Shelly Goodyear, wht was a good rebounder and hustled ai over the court, Stephanie Camdet who was a steady senior and a gooc leader, and Niki Staton who was a de fensive demon on the court and % senior leader.

The pro- gram seems to have found some sta- bility under the direction of 1st year head coach Dennis Vaught. Coach Vaught and his anxious staff guided the young Hurricane team to a 5-5 rec- ord overall and 3-3 in the Pioneer Dis- trict. It was the most success the foot- ball team has had since its 8-3 perfor- mance in 1983. Coach Vaught felt the seniors were an important key to the season. ‘‘The team had to overcome a lot of adver- sity and | feel that the program is def- initely headed in the right direction. We will miss the seniors leaving the program; I'm sorry they can’t be around for the good things that are ahead.” The season began with impressive road victories over Glenvar and Natural Bridge. The offense led the way by scoring 63 points total for the con- tests. The following week proved all doubters wrong as the Hurricane stormed back from an 8-0 deficit to de- feat Buffalo Gap 30-8 at home on Brew- baker Field.

Basketball Through The Hoop Experienced Team The Boy's Varsity Basketball team had a good season for all the diversity it had to overcome. The team had lots of injuries and had a good big man in- sider transfer and lost two other players for different reasons. The team was experienced and a senior- dominated team. Poncho Turner stepped up and became the senior leader on the court, and lead the team in scoring and assists. Jim Osborne was a senior who was also a leader on the team. He was a versatile player who played inside and out on the perime- ter, and he was the second leading scorer. Nigel Alexander was the dom- inant force inside for the Hurricane. He was a good rebounder and shot blocker. Jay Crook, also a Senior, was a good outside shooter and a very good passer. He went down with a knee in- jury late in the season, Jason Whitaker was a battler inside, and grabbed down a lot of rebounds and came through when you needed a rebound. Steven Clark started part of the season and came off the bench in other} games to get some important baskets. Rodney Painter started the last part of the season when there were injuries. He was a good ball handler and passer. Andy Edwards and Frank Mundy came off the bench and played well the whole season. Matt Jennings also saw playing time. They played every team tough the whole season. They played the top teams in the district to the buzzer. The Hurricane lost in a tough| game against Glenvar in the district tournament after being down by as} much as twenty points in the first half. They fought to be down one at half- time but lost in a tight game. The} team’s most satisfying win of the sea- son was in the last game of the regular) season over county rival Natural} Bridge.

The Lady Hur- ricanes started their season by being de- feated by the Natural Bridge Rockets. The defeat was deeply felt and brought down the morale on the team for a while. The team members were able to bounce back from their defeat and go on to win six straight matches while only losing one game point to their opponent. The Lady Hurricanes defeated Parry McCluer 2 games to 0. Later they found out that they would have to play Parry McCluer again because the first one didn’t count towards districts. Lexington would soon go on to play PMHS and would lose. In the county tournament, Lexington placed 2nd and defeated Natural Bridge (2- 0). Although they lost three matches dur- ing the season, the Lady Hurricanes con- Returning a spike, Tara Hood digs for the ball to get it back over the net. sider their season a success.

The only two teams that defeated the boys’ team were Charlottesville which isa AASChool and Patrick Henry which is a AAA school. For the second year in arow, the boys’ track team was uncon- quered by any Aschools. Amember of the boys’ team, Jeff Nuckols, summed up the season by saying, “We dun good! But seriously, we worked ex- tremely hard and it showed inallofour meets.” There were some guys whose names were seeninthe top three places quite often. For the long jump, triple jump, high jump, or shot, Jeff Nuckols, James Cooper, Freddie Harrington, and Lau- rence Kyle did awfully well placing first, second, orthird.Inallthe running events, Bryan Schwab, James Cooper, Ben Whaley, Rupert Strawbridge, Reid Spice, Chris Staton, Freddie Har- rington, Jeff Williams, Willie Williams, Laurence Kyle, Brian Jarvis, and Chip Garrett had fine performances show- ing in first, second, or third place. But the two groups to really brag on were teams. The 800 meter relay team con-}| sisted of James Cooper, Jeff Nuckols, | Chris Staton, and Rupert Strawbridge. These two teams placed first in every meet in which they competed. | The girls’ indoor track team worked really hard this year. Even though their season wasn't quite as successful as the boys’ season, the girls still exhib- ited team work and spirit. There are some girls that were very | impressive in certain events by placing | at least in the top three places.

But the 1600 meter relay team made most. other teams eat their dust.

The boys finished their season 10-0, undefeated for the third year ina row since they joined the Pioneer Dis- trict. The swift Hurricanes have won 23 straight meets without a loss. The boys also brought home the All- County trophy for the 3rd year inarow and the B.V. Relay Trophy for the 2nd year in a row. The track team was loaded with a number of all-stars this year. In the dis- trict meet Lexington claimed quite a few titles. Rupert Strawbridge made his claim for fame in the 100, 200, and 400m dashes. Michael Cooper won the 300 intermediate hurdles and Bryan Schwab won the 3200m run. The boys’ 1600m relay team consisting of James Cooper, Chris Staton, Jeff Nuckols and Willie Williams claimed that race. Other members of the team that placed in the top six places were Freddie Har- rington (110m hurdles, high jump, long and triple jumps), Laurence Kyle (100m and 200m dashes and the 4x100m relay), Reid Spice (3200 and 1600m runs), Ben Whaley (1600m run), and Jeff Williams (100 and 200m dashes and 4x100m relay).

Girls’ Outdoor Track Through The Finish Continued SUCCESS The girls’ outdoor track season was filled with success along with quite a few injuries. The girls ended their winning season with a record of 7-1, losing only to Natural Bridge. Many of the runners sustained injuries through- out the season. Leigh Sherwood and Tara Hood both had past knee injuries to deal with during their meets. Others such as Paige Icard, Cindy Smith, Joy Crook and Laura Swope received in- juries later in the season. Some of the injuries caused the runners to have to drop out of several races. A few runners, who were supposed to ad- vance to regionals, had to drop out be- cause of the extent of their injuries. Despite the injuries that plagued the team, the girls managed to overcome all odds and tie for 3rd with Covington in the District meet, place 3rd in the Regional meet, and tie for 7th in the State meet. The team also won the All County Meet for the third year in a row. The Hustling Hurricanes broke quite a few records during their reign. Leigh Sherwood broke the All County meet record in the mile and 2 mile run, the 800m and 1600m record in District and Regionals. She also broke the school record in both the 800m and 1600m run. Susan Brown set anew school rec- ord in the 300m low hurdles with an impressive time of 49.7 seconds. Three of the girls were District ke Girls’ Indoor Track Team: Front Row: Coach June Mays, Wendy Knick, Fran Downey, Julie Coffey, Melinda Brads, Myra Brown, Janice Fritchman, Coach Gloria Beatty; Second Row: Kishia Tutt, champs in their events. Joy Crook be- came District champ in the high jump with a clean jump of 4’11”. Paige Icard was champ in the 3200m run with a time of 12:55 and Leigh Sherwood be- came champ in the 800 and 1600m runs smashing the old District record times into little pieces. Her times were 800m- 2:30.0 and the 1600m-5:29.4. Other members that placed in the District meet were Missy Carter (Discus), Fran’ Downey (High Jump, 400m dash and mile relay), Julie Coffee (Long jump, 400m dash, mile relay), Susan Brown (300m low hurdles), Shelly Goodyear (300m low hurdles), Myra Brown (800m run), Cindy Smith (3200m run), Melinda Brads (mile relay), and Tara Hood (mile relay). Other participants were Bobbie Fields, Melody Moore, Shannon Hood and Laquita Dunn. . Twelve of the Lady Hurricanes advanced to Regionals and six of those twelve went on to compete in the State meet. Three out of those six placed in the top 4 at States. Joy Crook placed 4th in the high jump with her best jump of 5 1”, Leigh Sherwood placed 2nd in the 1600m run with a time of 5:25 and 3rd in the 800m with a school record-breaking time of 2:27. and Paige Icard placed 3rd in the 3200m run with a time of 12:31.1.

Behind the magnifi- cent play of last year’s state champion Jim Osborne and his doubles partner Stewart Worrell, the team finished 9-1 overall and won the district title. Then in the regional tournament the Hur- ricane beat last year’s state runner-up Floyd County 6-3 in the finals to garner the Region C team crown. In the indi- vidual competition Osborne repeated as region champ, as did he and Worrell in doubles play.

Jim Osborne proved his performance of last year was no fluke as he stormed his way to a} second State Singles Championship. In| addition Jim and Stewart finished 3rd in the doubles competition. Jim Osborne felt that the reason for the team’s success this year was that, - ‘Not only did we work to improve our individual performance, but more im- portantly we came together as a team. This is mainly because from the first day of practice on through the year Coach Donald stressed how important team play was.” Coach Donald's effort this year did not go unnoticed as he was named Timesland Coach of the Year, and not to be left out — Jim Os- borne was the Timesiand Player of the Year!

The Hurricane was expected to have a pretty good team this year but no one thought they would end up quite the way they did. They opened up the season strong with 7 victories. The seventh victory came against Parry McCluer, as the Hurricane came from behind to win 5- 4. They suffered their first loss of the season when defending Pioneer Dis- trict champion Bath County handed the Hurricane a 6-8 setback. the team split the next two games, winning against Glenvar and losing 5-6 to Covington. It appeared as though the Hurricane was back on track as they won their next four games. The wins, coming over Natural Bridge (twice), New Castle, and James River, held a combined score of 50-13 in favor of the mighty Hurricane.

Almost every team advanced to Regional play-offs or further. The athletes and the coaches definitely have a year behind them to be proud of. All athletes put forth 110% of themselves for their coaches and teammates. Each one deserves a pat on the back for a job well done and each coach deserves a hand shake for being there for each athlete and hav- ing faith in the teams. The Crystal Staff salutes our athletes for giving LHS a reason to be proud. — Tara Hood poe oe Most Valuable Player Football Brent Pry Girls’ Basketball Krystal Newcomer Golf Jay Crook Boys’ Cross Country Bryan Schwab Girls’ Cross Country Team (Paige Icard, Myra Brown, Leigh Sherwood, Shannon Maini, Julie Coffey) Boys’ Basketball Poncho Turner Volleyball Nikki Staton Wrestling Andy Harrington Most Outstanding Wrestler Chris Brads Indoor Track Paige Icard James Cooper Outdoor Track Rupert Strawbridge Leigh Sherwood Baseball Kevin Smith Tennis Krystal Newcomer Jim Osborne The Male Athlete of the Year, Jason Whitaker ac- cepts his award from Athletic Director and head football coach Dennis Vaught.

Yeah, that’s every stu- dent's dream. For some that dream comes true, but for others it’s just not quite in reaching distance. Some of us have to stay up until 12:30 trying to finish our Physics or Analysis homework. Others go to bed around 10:00 be- cause they only had En- glish and U.S. History to do. No matter what time you get to bed, homework is still con- sidered a drag by most Of US. Your teachers tell you that reading your lit- erature book now will help you out in college, but most of us agree that all it does is help us fall asleep during class. But alas we have to make the best of it, so why don’t you make the best of this yearbook and take a look at LHS students progressing academically. ACADEMICS 85 Career Onetired Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Whitesell, and Mrs. Winfrey are teaching the Business courses offered here this year. Those courses include Introduction to Busi- ness, Typewriting, Shorthand, Busi- ness Computer Applications, Office Technology |, Secretarial Administra- tion Il, and Office Specialist Il. Introduction to Business is a course designed to help students understand the activities of business. It also ex- plains how business affects their everyday lives. Students gain knowl- edge of the national and international business system as a part of the total economic system. It allows them to become skilled in selecting and using goods and services available from business, industry, and government. Lastly, it lets students develop confi- dence in managing personal and busi- ness affairs. Typewriting is a class that puts em- phasis on building skill, on typing per- sonal and business letters, outlines, manuscripts, and tabulated reports. It 86 Business is the foundation for a successful career in business. Shorthand teaches students to re- cord information from dictation and to transcribe that information into mailable copy. It is a must for the sec- retarial-minded student. Business Computer Applications in- volves an introduction to data pro- cessing and computer programming using the BASIC programming lan- guage. The microcomputer is used as the primary instructional tool for these activities. Office Technology | includes filing and typing. Students also learn to do payroll and use calculators. Secretarial Administration Il and Office Specialist ll concentrate on mas- tering skills learned in Secretarial Administration | and Office Specialist I. Those skills include typing business letters and other skills needed in the business world. — Bobbie Jo Clawson Elliot Balazs corrects an error he made while typing. | | Concentrating hard, Andy Harrington finishes an assignment for typing Class. Apparently Amanda Glass knows the true tech niques of typing. Cooperative Office Education (COE) is a career-oriented program. It com- ‘bines classroom instruction with on- ‘the-job training. Students attend “schoolin the mornings and workin the afternoon. It offers them the op- portunity to get valuable work experi- ‘ence while still in school. COE also allows students a chance to earn money. _ Students in the COE program are seniors and have a senior class schedule which inciudes Government, ‘English 12, and two classes of busi- ness; therefore, they can be at work by ‘one o'clock. Students earn one addi- tional course credit for their work. _ This year, there are many students in ‘the COE program. Debbie Rowsey ‘works at the Virginia Military Institute for the ROTC. Stephanie Duff works for attorney, Larry Mann. Wendy Sen- Carolyn Smith works intensely at her COE work eation with the Virginia Transportation Depart- ment. — 20th Anniversary sSabaugh works at Sigma Nu Inter- national Headquarters.

COE 87 Adventures In Most everybody knows what English is, so why study it in school? That is the question many students ask at other schools, but here at LHS it is one of the most invigorating departments. With a variety of interesting, entertaining teachers to learn from, English at LHS is loved by everyone. Again this year, the freshmen read such works as Romeo and Juliet and, everyone's favorite, Silas Marner. The sophomores read and saw the movie To Killa Mockingbird, while the juniors read Billy Budd and Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. The seniors had the j Dr. Worth teaches Mrs. Leadbetter’s Honor’s En- glish class about depression and how to cope with it. “L have a dream,” says Mr. Lowe as he lectures his 12th grade English class. “| have another dream,” says Mr. Lowe as he gives basically the same lecture a week later. 88 English Literature pleasure of watching and reading Mac- beth, hearing ‘‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and actually reading lvanhoe. The seniors had a student teacher, Mr. John Vincent Lowe, teach during the 4th and 5th six weeks. A W L grad- uate, Mr. Lowe took this year to get his teaching certificate for public schools. Mr. Lowe says, ‘‘Being a teacher gives you a place to perform.” He really en- joys teaching under Mrs. Gray but often complains about being blamed for Mrs. Gray's stool being broken. Miss Williams’ senior English classes also had a student teacher during the ae g0% , 2 5th six weeks. Mr. Phil Welch, also a W L graduate, is getting his teaching certificate through Mary Baldwin. We wish both of these student teachers the best of luck in their careers. Overall, it was a pretty interesting year for the English department at LHS de- spite some irregularities, but re-) member at this fine institution, En-) glish is not just learning about gerunds and infinitives. — Michael Vanness | — Jeff Nuckols AREAS Breaking the curve again, Rupert Strawbridge accepts his A+ test paper from Mrs. Marshall.

English 89 French, German and Roman Life The Foreign Language Department at LHS is a strong one. Our three teachers, Ms. Drake, Miss Emerson, and Mrs. Danford are knowledgeable in their fields and have travelled exten- sively. They teach not only grammar, but also the cultures of the countries in which these languages are spoken. The German, Latin, and French classes frequently combine for edu- cational activities. These are designed | Miss Emerson, the big E, presents a stimulating lecture to her French II students. CARPE ID — Is it ‘‘What’s for lunch?” Or a Latin exclamation?

Two such activities were the Foreign Lan- guage Week, which included a food tasting party and several French, Ger- man, and Latin skits, and the celebra- tion of Rome's 2,741st birthday. Almost every year the language de- partment sponsors a trip to a foreign en os ee REL ae . SE country where language students are allowed to use the skills they have picked up in class. In short, whether you take French, German, or Latin you are taught not only how to speak, or in the case of Latin, write the language but you also. learn a lot about French, German, and Roman life. — Cindy Coalter | “Where's the toga party?” ask Jay Crook, Kishia Tutt, Paige Icard, Myra Brown, Natalie McCaug- hrin, and lan Wallace.

The majority of people who do not take advantage of this class find themselves out of high school and completely bewildered by the world of home management that their parents had dealt with so easily. The class tea- ches progressive skills in foods and nutrition, clothing and construction, consumerism, housing, and child care. These skills are necessary ones for everyone. This year the class members made sewing projects and learned to knit. They discussed foreign countries and prepared food from them, planned meals, and studied a unit on housing. They also expanded to cover archi- tecture in designing a ‘‘dream kit- chen.” The students enjoyed the re- laxed learning environment that the Class offered. — Cindy Coalter Angela Reuther and Becky Conner puzzle over a sewing pattern.

They are an enigma to our school, these woodworkers who leave the main school one period a day and es- cape to their own private world where they shape the natural world to meet their own needs. The wizards of wood, these sawdust technicians, they are able to mold raw wood into whatever they desire — be it bird houses, gun racks, or Eliz- abethan lawn chairs. Shop is not just a class where you sit around the coffee table. This year our new shop teacher Mr. Johnston de- cided to prepare his students for the working world of technology. In late January the class set up areal assembly line. Conveyer belts and pulleys moved the materials to the next station to do the next piece of work to finish the ob- © ject.

Shabba a Be Shop 95 Stop Sleeping Each of the five teachers involved in teaching mathematics here at Lexing- ton High School has a very tough but important job. The task is to spend all year attempting to get some bored students not only to stop sleeping and pay attention in class, but also to learn something. Considering that mathe- matics doesn't exactly turn on most of the student population here, this pre- sents quite a problem for them. But when you think about how qualified each of the teachers is, and how inno- vative all can be at times, we all can sleep a little better at night. Take Ms. Freeman, for example. Just how interesting can Geometry be anyway? Isoceles triangles, the Path- agorean theorem, and parallel lines usually aren't the most interesting things that a typical high school stu- dent could spend a week night with. And let's face some facts; Geometry Industrious as ever, Thomas Gaines spends time in Consumer Math class. Jeri Lynn concentrates on her geometry in the relative quiet of the library. 96 Math isn't that easy to understand. Still, Mrs. Freeman does manage to teach the subject to her students. If you happen to be one of the fortu- nate students that have Mr. Leonhard for Algebra Il, you can always count on a break from the lesson with Mr. Leo- nard’s tie collection. Now don't getme wrong, for | love Mr. Leonhard'’s ties, and to the majority of the students, they are the most entertaining things in that class. But the end result is the same as with Mrs. Freeman; he does a wonderful job of teaching. One of the classes that Mrs. Shields teaches is Algebra |. She also is a great teacher. Although some of her students would rather be watching their soaps than learning anything about Algebra, she always seems to manage to get h er point across. Mrs. Lollis has only been teaching here one year, but she has already made an impact on her students. They all say that she is very helpful with assignments, and she is eager to ex: plain anything they don’t understand. Last, but definitely not least, is oul own Calculus professor, Mrs. Minnix. She has been teaching at Lexington fol 43 years, but this year she will retire. Many students here are sad to heal this news. Lexington High School wil be forced to attempt to find another teacher to take her place, althoug everyone knows that can’t be done. | So what else can be said about ou wonderful mathematics teachine staff? Nothing, except that no matte what they have to do to get theil students interested in the subjects they will try to do it. And that is what makes them so terrific. | — Bobbie Jo Clawsor elly Calkins and Matt Jennings congratulate emselves on finally finishing their Computer science Program. A Lot of Students taking Computer Science, have had a lot of fun this year getting to know their computers and Mr. Donald. They do a lot of arguing with both. The first part of the year was con- centrated on note-taking, designed to nelp the classes become familiar with terms and procedures used in operat- ing Apple computers. Then Mr. Donald allowed his students to improve their typing skills by using the Typing Tutor orogram. The students then tried their hands at writing actual programs and saving them on their disks. They added new formation to their notebooks and Jsed it to improve their program writ- ng. Around Christmas, Mr. Donald intro- duced graphics to his classes. Using jraphics, the students created their jer personal Christmas cards which were eventually graded. SES Arguing After the first semester, the classes worked with word processing. Juniors and seniors were given the op- portunity to print out their term papers using the computer. This was a big help for those students who weren't such great typists. When Mr. Donald was in a good mood, he occasionally would let his classes have a game day. On that day, he would let the students use some of his disks which contained games and they could play the games all period. Those days were a welcome change to his usual daily assignments. Computer Science has helped many students who had absolutely no idea of how to use a computer become familiar with some of the basic oper- ations of the computer. With a little more practice, the students would be- come as Skilled as Mr. Donald himself. — Bobbie Jo Clawson Looking as confused as ever, Karen Straw tries to understand her computer science assign- ment. Computer Science 97 Working Out Students enrolled in grades 9 and 10 are required to take Physical Edu- cation. These students take three weeks of active physical education and three weeks of classroom health throughout the school year. During the first six weeks, both grade levels are involved in active physical education and also during the last six weeks. The first six weeks in- volves physical fitness conditioning followed by physical fitness testing that is manadated by the State Board of Education. Upon completion of the test, the freshmen will then partic- ipate in ultimate field hockey while the sophomores participate in ultimate frisbee, touch football or archery. The second six weeks begins the block phase of P.E. Freshmen cur- rently take First Aid. An introduction with the values and knowledge of First Aid training is discussed. We also cover the various types of wounds, shock, respiratory emergencies, choking, poisoning, burns, cold exposure in- jury, heat illnesses, bandages and The P.E. class waits attentively for instructions from Coach Melton. 98 P.-E. dressings, and a separate Unit on Drug Education. Drug Education en- compasses signs Of drug abuse, symp- toms of the uses, physiological effects and the duration of effects from the eight classifications of drugs. The sophomores are involved in Driver Education. Rules of the roads are taugnt, the various signs including the shape, color, and meanings are taught, vehicular controls, basic driv- ing maneuvers, the LPDE process, trav- elling on the open roads, breakdowns one may face, and owning and insur- ing a motor vehicle, to mention a few. Active P.E. includes the following ac- tivities: Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Table Tennis, Board Games, Field Hockey, Archery, Golf, Softball, and Track and Field. This year Advanced Physical Educa- tion was offered to the Seniors. This was an all active Physical Education class with many of the activities being done away from LHS. In the fall, we went to the Lexington Country Club to do tennis for three weeks and then golf followed for three weeks. We did not play a game of golf. but used the driving range where they learned how to hold the club and the. proper mechanics of the swing. || We then ventured down to the. Lexington Body Shop to begin a unit in Aerobic exercise. Mrs. Ann Bennett, a former student of LHS taught this class, for three weeks.

Organize, and Publish This year the goal of the Journalism class is to write, organize and publish the Scarletter. The students will learn how to put together a paper by writ- ing different types of articles. Ms. Sol- omon is teaching the class for the second year. The Scarletter had expanded from a four page newspaper to an eight page newspaper, giving every student the opportunity to have a part in it. The editor is Shawn Grimmer and Courtney Hall is the copy editor. The sections of the publication include Features, Sports, News, and Editorials. Joanne Ware is the editor of Features, Geoff Larsen of Sports, Charles Fraley of News, and David Martin of Editorials. Ms. Solomon added, ‘‘Geoff Larsen has been a tremendous help to me.” In the fall, students wrote articles that were used to make their own per- sonal newspaper. Their papers were composed of feature articles on what- ever topics they wished to write about. They learned to do individual layouts and improved on some of their creative writing. Other projects were designed to help the students practice writing different types of articles and to improve their newspapers. The class also planned on making a video explaining how they put together il their paper. The Journalism class took a field trip) to the New Gazette in January. There, they got a chance to see Lexington’s newspaper come together. According to Jamie Tyree, a staff member, the class is ‘very hard work.” He also said, “The class taught me things about writing. It also helps me keep up to, date with current events.” | — Bobbie Jo Clawson, So} yea big ? A Wafers Wheat Wafers are Courtney Hall’s favorite snack | for journalism class. | NEW?

We all know that science has been around for at least 200 years, andsome of our all male science staff seem to think that it may have been around even during Newton's time. A day never goes by without our seeing something related to science. Every- thing from our car headlights to the Chernobyl meltdown is related to sci- ence. LHS has a very fine science depart- ment at this school, whose members have been known to say that they are “the best department in school.” And |, for one, would not dispute this claim, especially since | take physics this year and don’t want to face the wrath of Mr. Donald or other members of the de- partment. Many freshman taking Earth Science with Mr. Bowring went to the Grand Canyon this spring to study the Canyon.

Next year an advanced physical science class will be added. The advanced biology class went to Wallop’s Island to study Marine Bio- logy, and they also went to Goshen Pass to study insects and microbio- logy. In the lab, they dissected cats. The chemistry classes had a student teacher, Mr. Rippeon, during the second semester. The students were taught everything from fluorocarbon in the air to the ionization of metals. Other highlights of the class are watching Mr. Leonhard blow ing apart a paint can, catching his hand on fire and almost burning off his eyebrows. while evading a ring of fire. H The physics class learned about ki- netic energy, defraction of light and fi- nally — the highlight of the year — making our own kites. Other experi- ments were looking at posters under black lights and playing with mercury while talking about the risks of cancer. This year the chemistry and physics classes journeyed to VPI on May 1 to. participate for the first time in the Na- tional Science Olympia.

Science 103 Brazil Mrs. Usry returned from summer vacation eager to begin her second year teaching at Lexington High School. She discovered that she would be teaching World History and World Geography. Excited by the endless possibilities that lay ahead, Mrs. Usry began teach- ing her classes. She planned many ac- tivities for her students in the year ahead. For World History, she involved the Class in making Hieroglyphics or clay tablets under the supervision of Dr. Taylor Sanders of Washington and Lee University. Later in the year, Professor Duyon, also of Washington and Lee, led the class in a study of Renaissance Art. The class took a field trip to the Arche- ological Museum at the Virginia Mili- tary Institute, and another one to the Lexington Presbyterian Church to study Renaissance Music with Bill McCorkle. The students also recreated the Medieval Fair which Mrs. Usry said was ‘‘super.’’ She added, ‘‘it gets better and better each year.” The World Geography classes had fun, too. They started a slide show of sub-cultures in Lexington High School, but the film developers lost six rolls of film! Consequently, the project had to be aborted. The students also did some Chinese Calligraphy under Pro- fessor Ju or Washington and Lee Uni- 104 Social Studies Laura Swope, Minica Harris, Ingrid Karell, and Becky Sorrell represented Brazil at a model UN assembly held at Rockbridge High School. it Gets Better and Better Each Year versity and Xialong Cai.

Mrs. Usry’s students were treated to an exchange teacher from Costa Rica. Mrs. Eugenia Villalobas helped out Mrs. Ursy by team teaching about Central America for three weeks. Mrs. Villal- obas then visited some area schools. Mrs. Usry’s Classes were thinking about going to Mexico, instead of New York like last year, but she didn't have enough time to organize the trip be- cause of extra outside work for school. Let's not forget the other hardwork- ing social studies’ teachers Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Sauder, and Mr. Stine- spring. MS. Ramsey is teaching U.S. His- tory. Her students began the year by studying explorers. They watched “Eyes on the Prize,” a TV series that dealt with the Civil Rights Movement and read Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy, which was about his life in the White House. They also studied Watergate. According to most students Ms. Ramsey has a great sense of humor, but she could go a little easier on the essay questions. Mrs. Sauder is teaching U.S. History and Government. In U.S. History the Classes first learned about important Although David Harris poses for the camera, Jeremy Hatcher listens to Mrs. Randolph's in- structions for an upcoming assignment. events that took place in the Twen- tieth Century, and then later, went. back and studied the beginning of the United States. Her Government classes . learned about local government here | in Rockbridge County. They studied the election held in November of 1987. for local offices and the 1988 Pres- idential election. The students also) learned how the government oper- ates. Some projects that took place in the class were an election report anda mock trial with the help of some Wash- ington and Lee University students. The classes have many Class dis- cussions which the students say help | them to understand the lessons. better. Mr. Stinespring is teaching Govern- | ment.

Kay Vocational Techno- logy Center is the place where local high school students go for roughly three periods a day to a Class to learn various technological skills that will be useful in life and that could be carried into the workforce. _ The classes at Vo-Tech consist of everything from bondo-ing the rust spots on your hot rod to putting icing on a three-layer cake. In auto-body, as was earlier stated, students learn the skills necessary to sharpen up a car’s appearance. This enhancement con- sists of fixing the holes rusted in a ve- hicle, sanding down a car, applying primer, and repainting. Also some i iH customizing is done, like tinting the windows. In auto-mechanics, students learn the tricks and trade of keeping cars and other larger power equipment running like new, including tuning-up and rebuilding worn out parts. They also perform general mechanical maintenance. The agriculture department teaches the dos and don'ts of farming, of land management, and of other various agricultural necessities. All of these areas are needed for living and far- ming in our Rockbridge area. The occupational foods department teaches the culinary arts. The students sell their baked goods for profit and re-invest the money in additional supplies. In the electronics class, students learn how to fix, build, and trouble- shoot electronic equipment, to work on and with computers, and to read gauges and meters. The students work on televisions, stereos, electric cCIOCKS, and other electronic equipment, learning to repair broken or burnt-out circuits. Vo-Tech is not for everyone, but the students who attend learn skills that will help them on their road to suc- cess. — Jeff Nuckols Seaennenaeeaisianmpsmses eo teaee gg. a e Enjoying a between-the-class snack are Mike Martin, Jeff Goodbar, and Troy Camden.

It is the making or doing of things that display form, beauty, and unusual perception. This definition is visible every day in Mrs. Tinsley’s classes. Mrs. Tinsley is teaching Art|, Art ll, Art Ill, Art IV, and Art V this year. Art! and Il deal mostly with basic skills. Art Ill, IV, and V build on those skills. Art | students learn basic drawing techniques. Mrs. Tinsley also teaches them how to add dimension to drawings so that their pictures don't appear flat. They study color wheels and color schemes that are helpful in adding character to their drawing. The process of shading contributes even 108 Art more to the drawings. Art Il concentrates on painting, although the students are given a chance to improve on the skills that they learned in Art |. The class involves working with clay, including some pot- tery. Art Ill deals with more difficult assignments, using skills learned in Art | and Art Il. One assignment includes working with three-dimensional proj- ects. Art IV students work with Silk- screening which is a stencil method of printing a flat color design through a piece of silk, or other fine cloth, on which all parts of the design not to be printed have been stopped out by an Pete Strong works hard painting a picture for Mrs. Tinsley’s art class. impermeable film.

Band 111 Sweet Melody If you are a student passing by the bandroom around fifth period on any given school day, you will hear a sweet melody flowing out of the windows and filling the outside air. That sound is the Lexington High School Concert Choir. The choir is made up of people who love music. Students start class with vocal warm-ups, and they then work on theory and singing techniques. Most of the class time is spent, how- ever, on singing and rehearsing for up- coming concerts or competitions. Some music used this year included popular music from the ’60’s, '70’s, and '80's. Miss Robyn Dewey is the new direc- tor of the choir. She is a 1987 graduate of James Madison University.

Every year it’s the same; students trying to get other students not to drive drunk. At the beginning of each school year students are given a survey in order to get the percentage of how many students do use and don't use drugs or alcohol. It’s a ser- ious problem and SADD members are giving their best to try and help. Students Against Drunk Driving sponsor the safe rides program, a pro- gram to help those students who choose to drink to have someone drive them home who is not intoxicated. The number of students concerned about the problem increases each year. These members take their time to help sell SADD T-shirts or buttons.

These students must have a grade point average of 3.25. To become a member, those students who have this average must complete a form and turn it in within a certain amount of time. The National Honor Society has three major projects. One they com- pleted and delivered to the student body this year was Dial A Hurricane, a phone directory given to the students as a gift from the society. This phone book consisted of the addresses and phone numbers of most of the students at Lexington High. The society's second project and probably the most important is the selling Of M M's, the favorite candy of most students. This sale helps the society rais e money for scholarships for graduating seniors. The third project is also important. It involves cleaning up neighborhoods throughout Lexington and helping out in the collection of money for the Arthritis Foundation. — Nina McGee B National Honor Society: Front Row: Sarah Crawford, Bobby Henneman, National Honor Society: Front Row: Sandra Hayslett, Susan Peppers, L Leslie Moore, Joann Ware, Ingrid Korell, Mrs. Phemister; Second Row: Carla Rhodenizer, Brent Pry, Craig Stark, Mrs. Minnix; Second Row: Marty Bed Smothers, Gretchin Icard, Amy Crawford, Melissa Philipps, David Martin; Will Benton, Courtney Hall, Lori Loudermilk, Laurie Myers; Back RO Back Row: Cary Ward, Elizabeth Beard, Armondo Bennincasa, Bryan Stewart Worrell, Jay Crook, Michael Peters, Chuck Fraley, Matt Schroe Schwab, Doug Higinbotham, David Harbach. : SCA 120 Sarah Crawford may be daydreaming or just staring out of the window.

Honor Society Recruiters What would the guidance and office staffs do without several students helping them each day? Nota lot. Each year the guidance and office per- sonnel recruit students to help with the enormous workload they have. The recruiting is done by going to a study hall and asking for volunteers to work in the guidance or main office. In the guidance, the main job is to run passes to students the counselors want to see. The guidance volunteers also find themselves stapling news- letters, folding bulk mail, organizing papers, keeping the college material filed, and sometimes doing specific jobs for the guidance department. As Officer Workers: Front Row: Melissa Sloan, Joann Ware, Mandy Harris, Mrs. Rhodenizer, Stacy Craig, Karen Stubblefield; Second Row: Ann Patterson, Val Drew, Yvette Dandridge, Sherry Smith, Lana Thurston, Missy Carter; Back Row: Cheree Reynolds, Gretchen Icard, Sharon McCormick, Kelly Flint. 122 Office Workers busy as it sounds, the volunteers study for other classes. If you happen to wander into the office, you will find busy student- volunteers. These volunteers have the wonderful job of informing fellow students that Mrs. Tillery or Mr. Warren wants to see them. This usually means you're in trouble, or if one is l ucky, you're called in ‘‘to be checked on.” The office volunteers also answer the ever-ringing telephone, type the absentee list and daily bulletin, run off copies, and spend most of their time assisting Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Rhodenizer. Also, aS in guidance, these students have time to work on assign- ments for other classes. If it weren't for these volunteers, the guidance department and office — would have twice as much work to do. | — Tammy Lineberry —— Lana Thurston diligently works in the office ona | payroll register for Mrs. Rnodenizer.

It takes a lot of hard work and having fun, at least that’s the way the Latin Club and Discipuli Laudandi do it. You need ‘Good ideas that are not hard to execute!’’ says Stewart Worrell, president of Discipuli Lau- dandi. The Latin Club has held two soc hops (which are called toga hops) this year; both were a success. One included the selling of club members as Slaves. This did quite well as a money maker. SOc hops are the club's main fundraiser. The money is used to purchase Roman foods and decorations for a big ban- quet held around Christmas time. The banquet is called a Saturnalian Ban- quet, and it’s a Roman celebration Latin Club: Front Row: MSs.

Now, what is the difference be: tween the Latin Club and Discipuli Laudandi? To be a member of Discipul Laudandi a student must have at leas! five semesters of Latin and a hig grade point average. The member: also have certain privileges. Being in Latin class is not necessary for mem. bership in the Latin Club, but it does help to be taking it, because a lot of the business for the club is discussed dur- ing class. There is and induction ceremony for new members at the end of the year. This includes going to the student's house and kidnapping that person. It results in old and new members hav- ing a great time. The Junior Classical League which hosts a state convention where Latin students are tested in specific areas such as grammar, daily life, and vocab- ulary metin Richmond this year. A club must belong to the J.C.L. to attend this convention. Of course our Latin students attended and tested well as usual!

Latin 127 BONJOUFr . -SGuten Tag French Club and German Club have done very well this year, thanks to sponsors like Mrs. Danford and Ms. Em- erson. Activities were not only planned individually, but the clubs also worked together during Foreign Lan- guage Week. Foreign Language Week was a big success, because skits, poems, and cooking made the week fun yet involved a great deal of impact on faculty and students, and has proved to be a good recipe for both clubs. Ms. Emerson headed the German Club which blossomed into a truly worthwhile cause for all who were members of the club. The determina- tion of participants of the German Club has made it possible for things to go well this year, and Ms. Emerson only hopes it continues throughout the rest of the year. Good times and pre- cise planning, such as raking leaves for a specific charge to raise money, went well. The French Club, sponsored by Mrs. Danford was also a huge success be- cause of members like President Susie Peppers, Vice-President Julliet Thompson, and Secretary-Treasurer Lori Rnodenizer. Anumber of morning announcements mentioned French Club meetings. Stopping in on a French Breakfast one morning proved to be a lot of fun; all club members were laughing, joking, and of course Mrs. Danford was in the middle of the French Club Front Row: Xiaolong Cai, Criag Stark, Lori Johnson, Cindy Watts; Second Row: Ben Cline, Sarah Sherburne, Kathy White, Neil Penick, Nell Paxton; Back Row: Kishia Tutt, Thais Hickman, David Shotwell, Elliott Brown, Michael VanNess, Julie Read. 128 French conversation.

The first play “impromptu” won first place at the district competition which was held in Glenvar; then first place was won again, but this time at regionals in Fort Chiswell. The cast for “Impromptu” included Bobby Henne- man, Susie Peppers, Jennifer Cathey, and Jack DeCourcy who all did a fine job. The play began like this; there are four actors sitting on a darkened stage awaiting the arrival of the stage man- ager who has called them together. Lacking his authoritative presence they are merely characters in search of a play to become part of, for their own personalities seem unformed and shallow next to the full-blooded fig- ures they are used to playing. This par- ticular play took about a month to put together. The next play ‘‘The Bald Soprano” is scheduled to be ready in early June, and Ms. Emerson says she plans around five weeks of practice in her classroom and on the stage. The play- wright, Eugene lonesca had as a main goal expressing an interest in the in- ability of people to communicate with others. Ms. Emerson said, ‘‘The playisa hilarious and certainly a unique satire on the darkness of the English middle class in which people talk to each other at cross purposes, failing to un- derstand, getting nowhere at allin the matter of communication.” The play ends in total chaos. The cast includes Missy Philipps, lan Wallace, Josh Elrod, Susan Groves, Lori Rnodenizer, and Neil Pennick. Alotofhard work and energy go into making drama work. Ms. Emerson e x- plained how she went about picking certain people for parts. First there isa reading of the character's skit, sec- ondly she considers how the person goes about presenting himself, and most importantly she wants all of the chosen students to be able to get along with one another. Once the cast is chosen the real work begins. One has to become the character while acting out the play. Acting certainly is not an easy job. — Laurie Link Susan Groves studies her script during a Dram. Club rehearsal.

The most exciting moment of your sophomore year is ordering your Class ring. This is a tradition that has always existed at Lexington High School. Sophomore Leigh Williams said, ‘| ordered a Class ring just to have something to remember LHS by.”’ Many sophomores and some juniors and seniors thought long and hard about the type of class ring they wanted to wear for the years to come. There were some who only ordered a ring because everyone else did. ‘| wasn't really excited about ordering a Class ring. It was just the thing to do. Like ordering a yearbook,” said Lori Wilson. Allin all ordering class rings was a big event to those _who decided to share the tradition with Lexington High School. — Stephanie Coleman Robin Gaines Ronald Gaines Jennifer Garrison Tracy Goad Michelle Goodyear Suzannah Gordon Elizabeth Grose Bradley Hall Tammy Hall Melissa Henson Bryan Herward Thais Hickman Kenton Higgins Sandra Higgins Scott Hostetter Paige Icard Matthew Jackson Douglas Johnson Jake King Casey Knick Jeremy Leadbetter Tammy Lipscomb Robin Martin Natalie McCaughrin Anthony Merchant Paul Merchant Wendy Merchant Sophomores 139 x . ; tee nen CPS LANE I aE ES ASR STEEP Matthew Miles Neel Mistry John Montgomery Rebecca Montgomery Carolyn Moore Carrie Moore Charles Moore Melody Moore Scott Morris Christine Mueller Jeanne Nicely William Old Julianne Parnell Nell Paxton Neil Penick David Phemister Nicole Porterfield Julie Read Angela Reuther Benjamin Riley Joe Riley Brice Rose Terri Schrieber John Schutt Doug Scott Sarah Sherburne Leigh Sherwood 140 Sophomores ESTE PAO pie ee EM, Parke eg RULE ahaa GL et RT REE ade EDO EE IE ae ORE RS BA RR : ee: Sarah Sherburn, Paul Merchant, and Paige Icard appear to be happily relaxed.

Once again it was time for the Jun- iors to come together and decide ona theme for Prom, “Arabian Nights.” With everyone's time and devotion, the juniors made the gym look like an enchanted desert. Across the stage was a scene of a caravan crossing the long, hot desert and on each side were red banners hanging from the ceiling with arabic letters printed on them in silver. The entrance to the gym was masked by palm trees and very dimly lit lights in the background. All the time and energy put into the decorating paid off. The Prom was a success along with the dazzle and glit- ter that came with it. — Tara Hood . ae ah, Susan Groves demonstrates a certain technique to fellow classmates during prom decorating.

The new principal came as a shock to most people because he ended up to be a she. Most students expected another man to carry on the job as principal as it had been somewhat of a tradition in the past. Mrs. Kerrington Tillery is the first woman to become a principal at Lex- ington High School, which goes to show that you don’t have to be a heavy-handed man to take control. Mrs. Tillery, who is very well known in her field, hasn’thad much trouble at all feeling at home here a t LHS despite all of the rumors that came with the news that we were receiving a new woman principal. Mrs. Tillery didn’t realize until she got here that she was the first woman principal, but that didn't bother her. She says a job is a job. She felt very excited about coming to a new town to place her new roots. Mrs. Tillery enjoys meeting new people and really loves Rockbridge County. She also said that the change has had no Miss Yvonne Emerson French tl, German 1,II, iI Mrs. Janie Farrow Cafeteria Worker Biology Cafeteria Worker Mrs. Lynda Gray English 11,12 Cafeteria Worker Custodian Mr. Gehrig Ferguson Mrs. Jane Freeman General Math, Geometry Mrs. Shella Garrison HERRERA WANA SEARO Sng.

Have we pushed her over the edge? Fall broke out in primary colors, and Faculty settled down to the business of preparing America’s finest — none aware of the insidious malignancy that would eventually invade their compla- cent ranks. Aging Savin had not led an ex- emplary life but was allowed to rest comfortably in the library workroom surrounded by warm air and happy copiers. Savin continued to be the source of planning-period attraction. Fac ulty stood in line clutching stacks of copy paper gained by contrivance or theft. Savin grew older. Savin became dis- gruntled. Savin became weak. Savin re- quired careful nursing. Savin could not be saved! Mr. John Reynolds called the faculty together and after the service of con- trition, announced that his legacy would be a young, but yet unnamed, replacement for Savin. AS Mrs. Randolph genuflected, and other fac- ulty dried tears, the crisis appeared re- solved.

CACULTY Sauder had arrived. Xerox was small in stature but arrogant in his dressage of flashing lights and electronic displays. Xerox was ready. Primed with identification codes, Faculty was allowed to pay tribute to Xerox although its food and life’s blood was in short supply. Faculty. managed to establish another close relationship. Deception is the nemesis of trusting educators. Life began to change. Wanda was arriving on campus before Mary Lou. Liz abandoned honors students in favor of Xerox. Copier orgies were being held at night — some Say until the wee hours. Cliques began to form: Pi, Acid, Silicate, Gerund, Net. There Mrs. Gray plots instructional destruction for her next class.

Acid was charged with diluting the toner supply. Gerund sabotaged the re- ducer. Silicate gained access to code numbers. The war was on. Xerox was no longer the arrogant youth of December, but a seasoned agent of February. Xerox dealt with torture and humiliation without re- quital. Xerox had reasons. General K. Tillery had assumed com- mand in January. A veteran of the Mar- tinsville campaign, she drew battle lines and planned tactics. General Tillery isolated Xerox in a small, dark room adjacent to central headquarters. Xerox is guarded by a cheerful, competent keeper. Xerox was unsuccessful in “divide and con- quer.”’ General Tillery prevailed with “isolate and monitor.” A gentle peace now flows through the halls of LHS. Faculty is worn but wiser — never again to be susceptible to the vagaries of such malevolence. — Louise Marshall Mr. Bryan Stinespring Mrs. Teresa Thompson Guidance Secretary Mrs. Pamela Tinsley World Geography, World History Ty Miss Mary Lou Williams _ English 12, Photo Journalism Mrs. Barbara Winfrey : Office Specialities II, Secretarial Faculty and Staff 157 OR RN 158 ADS INDEX dard working Justin Hines is busy bagging jroceries at Lexington Market. You hear the word “SALE” and what do you do? You grab your wal- let, jump into the car, and head for the near- est store. Everybody likes to buy new things. Even if it’s just a little something. Do you remember when you could buy a candy bar for twenty-six cents and drinks used to be forty cents? Now candy bars are fifty cents and drinks go for sixty every now and then. If you’re lucky you might be able to find candy bars three for ninety-nine cents, but only if you’re lucky! No matter how much prices go up you will continue to buy those bare necessities. So why don't you take a look at the places you'll buy them from in our ADS section.

ROUTE S, BOX 234 LEXINGTON, VA 24450 177 Bringing It all together The Yearbook Staff has had a long, hard year putting Volume 63 of Lex- ington High School's Crystal together. The title ‘Through the Looking Glass” was voted on by all staff members. Eight of the first sixteen pages were color done on gloss paper and the rest done on dull paper with black and white photos, taken by various students and area photographers and developed and printed by Jeremy Leadbetter and Tanya Young. As tradition has it the Senior por- traits were taken by Mike Collingwood at Andres and the class pictures were done by Max Ward Del Mar Studios. The endsheets were 107 Gunmetal parchtone and the cover was taken from the stock covers of Hunter Pub- lishing Co. Most of the copy ranged from 8pt.-72pt. Antique Olive and some headlines were done in mistral, which was the same type of lettering chosen for the cover. We know that classes were inter- rupted often to take pictures and we apologize for that, but we would like to thank all the teachers for putting up with us and letting us take those great pictures. The staff also deserves a lot of praise. There are always a few in the bunch 178 Colophon that don’t like to work but for those of you who didn't mind thanks a lot — es- pecially Stephanie Coleman, who was always ready to type up copy when- ever asked, Tanya Young and Jeremy Leadbetter, who didn't mind staying after school to print up much needed pictures, Chris Porterfield, who was al- ways willing to redo a layout for someone, Nina McGee, who would draw anything we asked her to, Nathan Heatley for getting the other guys in his group to do their work, Steve Gordon for selling all those ads and oranges, Justin Hines for his alpha- betizing skills, and most of all Ms. Williams, who put up with me during my mid-teenage crisis. | would also like to thank the other members of the staff: Tammy Lineberry, Laurie Link, Traci Smith, Brent Pry, Bobbie Jo Claw- son, Cindy Coalter, Topher Jones, Sarah Williams, Kyle White, Judy Oster, Tommy Gaines, Dwight Inman, Krystal Newcomer, Jeff Nuckols, Brad House- holder, and Michael Van Ness. We musn't forget Mr. Charlie Garrison from Hunter Publishing Co., who helped us get all of this done and Leslie Moore who entered our index into the computer and typed in all those num- bers. — Tara Hood Are you surprised to see Topher Jones working? ee were too; that’s why we snapped this pic- ure.

Colophon 179 The Class of ‘88 A Constant in Changing Times The class of ‘88 has been bound together by change. We have expe- rienced change in many forms. In- numerable coaches and three principals have come our way. Surprising events and nature’s destructive force have set uS back more than once, but we have persevered. With each new situ- ation, the Class of '88 strove to over- come the odds, and we made our time in high school a success. We have been here since 1983 — five years. Faced with meningitis, snow, the flood of '85, more snow, the Chal- lenger explosion, yet more snow, pos- sible consolidation, and even more snow, we became a united class. To survive these events we had to turn to one another, and this reliance has Getting nice and cozy in the library is senior Paul McKemy. 180 Closing made our Class a very special one. Coaches Stickley, Lombel, Pyles, Brancati, Freeman, Stenzel, Crawford, and Chase helped shape us athletically in sports ranging from golf to track. These people were great influences both on and off the field or court. The coaches who remain at LHS continue this trend of dedication and service to the athletes and to the teams. Glen Stark and John Reynolds will never be forgotten as two men who were friends to LHS as well as princi- pals. Mr. Stark was always there for us as insecure eighth graders and fresh- men. He never made us feel as if we were on the bottom rung of the lad- der. Mr. Reynolds was a Survivor. He was Breaking away from her term paper long enough to get her picture taken is senior Missy | Carter. Tommy Dale decides to have a nutty-buddy for lunch instead of the usual special of the day. Athletic trainer Steve Gordon demonstrates some of his first aid skills during his independent study presentation. Doing his imitation of June Bug Jones is actor John O'Neal who put on workshops for us com- pliments of the Rockbridge Concert Theatre Series. The next two Mr. Universes? Well, Tyrone Turner and James Cooper seem to think they meet the qualifications. Closing 181 the one who guided LHS during such tragedies as the flood, the Challenger explosion and the meningitis epi- demic. In his first year, he had to help students survive some difficult times. Again and again, he was faced with in- credible odds. Nature dumped feet, not inches, of snow and rain on Rockbridge County in '85 and '86. First there was the flood during our tenth-grade year. Ex- cursions to Goshen and our own Woods Creek showed us the destruc- tive force of nature. These sobering sights taught us about the persever- ance of two sister towns, Lexington and Buena Vista. Snow cancelled mid-term exams our junior year. We sorrowed very little over this loss. We had had enough exams by that time. Meningitis also surprised us. This di- sease was ominous and mysterious and when it claimed more than one life in Virginia public schools, LHS was promptly closed and students were saved from contracting the disease. The Challenger explosion made us realize how precious life is; and the death of Christa McAuliff, the school teacher from New Hampshire, showed us how the loss of a teacher leaves a tremendous void ina class, aschool, or an entire community. Fortunately, the teacher losses we have experienced at LHS have not been because of death. Those teachers who are no longer with us are remembered fondly. Talk of consolidation brought turmoil to LHS. The school had never before buzzed with so many rumors. Mr. Reynolds met with individual classes to discuss the facts concerning the consolidation of the area high schools. LHS was the center of the media's attention as students heartily spoke out in favor of the plan or de- cidedly against it. In this our last year, yet another newcomer has joined the LHS family. Mrs. Kerrington Tillery has stepped in to fill the vacancy that Mr. Reynolds left. She had to make a difficult adjust- ment and transition at LHS. She, too, has had to face hardships. She entered the year in mid-term and had to im- mediately overcome the challenge of “fitting in.’ Also, as a female principal, she had to dispel any stereotypical doubts that the students had about her. Mr. Warren, our vice-principal, has been at LHS throughout our five years. He has become a familiar face and knows all of us by name. He always takes the time to offer a cheery hello 182 Closing Freshmen Katrina Nair and Michelle Reynolds busily work to finish their homework assign- ment before the bell rings. Practicing her analysis skills during Student Government Day is senior Janice Fritchman. Juniors Carla Smothers and Matt Jennings weigh their chemicals during chemistry class. “Look Ma, no dandruff is what senior Janice Senior Monique Stewart shows us the latest Fritchman is saying about Freddie Harrington’s dance steps. This one is called the Staircase golden locks. Strut. Robert Clark, Tim Hickman, and Sean Carter take a break to check the progress of their project during shop class. Closing 183 or an off-the-wall comment. More than once he has brought order and amusement to LHS, especially in assemblies and at pep rallies. Besides Mr. Warren’s face, there are many other faces that have become dai ly welcome sights. These faces aren't those of our classmates, how- ever. They are of teachers who have been at LHS for several years and have meant a lot to the Class of ’88. Some teachers have seen our faces in dif- ferent classes more than once in the past five years. Some have taught our older siblings or parents. LHS has dedi- cated individuals who care for their students and choose to come back year after year to the environment that LHS provides. As many teachers have said, “Goodness knows it's not the money that keeps me here!” A true love for teaching is exhibited by teachers at LHS. They go far beyond the minimal 184 Closing call of duty. Despite rough days, mul- tiple discouragements and seemingly impossible paper work, teachers show up at eight A.M. with minds, eyes, ears, and hearts open to students. Every student can appreciate a good teacher, but at LHS we are lucky enough to have great teachers. On that August day in 1983, none of us had any idea just how many days we might spend at LHS. We didn't expect sO many joyful and sad experiences to happen to us. Throughout the years we learned to do chemistry equations, to translate German nouns, to avoid split infinitives, and to build kites, but our learning didn't stop there. Our education has gone far beyond Algebra Il and Art IV. We have grown through such events as prom, football games, pep rallies, the homecoming week and dance, Halloween parties, bake sales and exams. All of these times, whether good or bad, have molded us into the people we are and the people we are going to be. LHS has| played such a major role in our lives} that there is no way to measure that! influence in years or dances or diaries. The measure of growth can only be seen in each one of us. The Class of '88 has five years of LHS shaped into our thoughts, actions, and memories. We will take a piece of LHS with us no mat- ter what job we take or what college we attend or what state we move to. | The changes we have undergone, have made us constant — constant achievers and constant successes. LHS has taught each of us all-important lessons: to go after what you want; to! stop at nothing and let nothing stop you; and to get what you came for. Lexington High School — thanks for the lessons. The Class of 1988 will never forget how or where we learned them. — Courtney Hall Working on their French assignment during lunch are seniors Jim Osborne and Sarah Craw- ford. i Fe. aot ROCKBRIDGE LIBRARY ET 50 9100 141 2535
