“Isn't he cute?’”’ asks Ms. Emerson as Senior David Martin displays his new-found Fonzie look. “Peace” seems to Say it all for Ms. Ramsey as she displays her spirit on 50's and 60's day. 6 Opening The Senior Class show the underclassmen what the true meaning of spirit is as they fire up the crowd at a pep rally. Anticipation began to build among the LHS scholars as the end of the year neared. Seniors were nervous because their lives were about to change ina big way. The rest of the student body spent spare time dreaming of fun in the sun. Most hated the idea of taking final exams but de- cided they really had no alternatives, so they put their best foot forward, and eventually found out that those exams weren't as hard as they had originally thought. This year changes have influenced all of our lives whether we know it or not. Next year will include changes too; Seniors will go to college, get jobs, or take a year off; Juniors will become Seniors; Sophomores will become Juniors; Freshmen will become Sophomores; and lowly eighth graders will start high school as Fresh- men. Anyway, students hope that the plotting and scheming and the planning and dreaming they do at LHS will come true in their futures. — Bobbie Jo Clawson

The Times, They Are A-Changin’ Welcome to the jungle; a place where plots and schemes... plans and dreams, play impor- tant parts in the lives of every student at LHS. Bob Dylan said it best when he said, ‘‘The times, they are a-changin’” because the '88-’89 school year has been a long series of changes. Some changes have been good and some changes have been bad, but that's a matter of Opinion. The November election shook up the routines of many Americans. Some hoped for a change in policy so they voted Democratic, and some wanted things to stay the same so they voted Republican. In the end, the latter got their wish because George Bush and Dan Quayle defeated Mike Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen. Homecoming had a new twist added to it this year. We elected both a Queen, Missy Philips, and a King, Doug Magee. Hank Williams, Jr. earned himself a runner-up position in the fight for the Senior representative in the Homecoming Court. Mr. Jonn Whitesell replaced Mr. George Warren as the new Vice Principal, and Mrs. Kerrington Tillery began her first full year as Principal here. The football team turned itself around this year. Team members managed to put their past seasons behind them and concentrated solely on this year’s games. This proved to be quite successful. Coach Dennis Vaught led the Hur- ricane through the regular season with only three losses, into the playoffs, and all the way to a major victory in the state finals. The prom was wild and wooly again this year. Juniors took all day preparing the gym while Seniors had a memorable time at their picnic. Both spent Saturday putting last minute touches on their outfits for the eventful night. Many citizens of Lexington and the County showed up at the high school to watch the students walk inside. All who attended the prom had a wonderful time dancing to the music pro- vided by the band and enjoying the refresh- ments. “Go Ahead Punk, Make My Day.” Junior John Schutt gives the photographer his best Dirty Harry look as Senior Rodney Painter catches up on the latest gossip. What is this a picture of? (1) the cover for the new Motley Crue album, (2) David Fitch's birth- day party, or (3) a pie-eating contest during half- time at A Scarlet Hurricane football game.

“Say cheese,” says Latin Club sponsor Ms. Drake as she and her club take time out from activities to smile for the camera. “Doin' da butt. ..'’ Senior Delsa Jonnson would rather be doin’ da butt than stayin’ on the porch with Senior classmate Kevin Smith. Opening 7
