seeing the Sights D.C. 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

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.
