VIRGINIA BRINKLEY, Business Manager FOREWORD cuWC,I'6 loyal to you, Lexington, We're 'orange and blue, Lexington, We'll back you to stand As the best in the land For we know you have said QLEXINGTONV' In all activities of our school life none has produced throughout the student body a finer spirit of enthusiasm and true loyalty than the football team of 1939, South Pied- mont and North Carolina State Champions. Undefeated, untied, and winner of eleven important struggles, this squad under admirable coaching showed a dauntless determi- nation rarely seen in football circles. Each quarter in a game has its particular significance to the final outcome, so each quarter in the LEXICON represents a phase of school life: Classes, Athletics, Activities, Features. It is the sincere hope of the LEXICON Staff that you will enjoy this edition from the kick-off until the final whistle, when the last play of 1940 has been run. 2 DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of 1941-O Proudly Dedicate this edition of THE LEXICON to COACH THOMAS BAYAHD YOUNG High ideals of sportsmanship-inspiration for splendid team- work-ability to develop the- finest and hest in athletics at Lexington High School. ,J ,W MR.

YARBROUGH Business or Occupational Club '40 HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Seated around the Fireside, a group of seniors were contentedly munching apples and enjoying small talk. Naturally the conversation soon turned to the subject of school, and in turn to a discussion of the merits of each respective class. As we pondered at length upon the achievements of our class, we grew more serious, while the flames in the fireplace began to assume for us familiar and fantastic shapes of past and future, of anticipation and regret. With startling consciousness, we realized the nearness of our approaching graduation and the great unknown beyond. It seemed incredible, though true, that we were about to obtain the goal for which we had struggled eleven 'ears and which would mark the end of an important chapter of our lives. Breaking the silence into which we had lapsed, someone remarked that he could never forget Miss Springs, Susy.,, This was the signal for a flood of reminiscences. We lived again the days of fear and bewilderment that accompanied our entrance, as sub-freshmen, into high school. We remembered with pride how we were not long in establishing ourselves as the most promising class ever to enter the school, and how we made this fact generally recognized. With Miss Burgess and Miss Springs as our guiding lights, and with our class ollicers, Ruth Morris, president, Lewis Hartzog, vice president, and Vernon Price, secretary-treasurer, we put our name on the map in a hurry. By the beginning of the next year, we were thoroughly acclimated citizens of L.H.S., though we were somewhat disappointed at being again the 'cbabyi' class of the school and having to miss the expected pleasure of lording it over an incoming sub-freshman class. This minor disappointment we forgot while busying ourselves with providing stiff competition for the upperclassmen in clubs, athletics, and scholarship. ,lane Moore headed our class as president that year, with Lewis Hartzog, vice president, and Charles Hackney, secretary-treasurer. Our sophomore year found us growing up, we wore long faces. solved mathematical equations of amazing proportions, and debated heredity and environment. Our moral obligation, that of showing the freshmen their place, was a matter of vital importance, as was the necessity for main- taining the reputation we had established,already. With our president, Charles Hackney, vice pres- ident, Bill Bingham, and secretary-treasurer, ,lane Moore, we made a creditable showing in every phase of school life. Our junior year was a memorable one in the history of our class and of the school. True to our tradition as the most outstanding class ever to enter the school, we proceeded to demonstrate for posterity how a class should be run and class meetings conducted. What prolonged controversies and glorious disagreements we did have over the selection of our class rings, discussions of the annual, of examinations, and of our Junior-Senior Banquet! With our capable otlicers, Mary Gordon, pres- ident, Vernon Thomason, vice president, and Vernon Price, secretary-treasurer, we sailed through our junior year with Hying colors. The culmination of all the years efforts was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was declared everywhere to be the loveliest, best, and most dignified banquet ever given. For all of us the summer of 1939 was the shortest of our experience. When September came, we returned to school, reluctant because it was the last time, though happy at having attained the desired and envious status of uDignified Seniorsfl From the beginning of the year, we felt in the air a spirit of advancement. With a new principal whose personality revived life in the school, with an improved building, an excellent faculty, and new ideas, we entered upon what was to be the best year of our school lives. Our senior class has dominated every school organization. We have set standards for scholarship, for leadership, and for service of which we are justly proud. Our officers, Vernon Thomason, president, Hubert Philpott, vice president, Mary Gordon, secretarry, and Fred Myers, treasurer, have done their work well. Mrs. Hedrick, too, has played an invaluable part in helping us maintain our tradition as the best class. The little circle of seniors about the fire grew quiet again as we thought of graduation and of our lives afterwards. With regret, yet with eagerness, we continued to gaze into the fire, realizing the truth of Tennysonls immortal lines: no y'f HI am a part of all that I have met, Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades Yet all experience is an arch where through Forever and forever when l move. RUTH MORRIS. Senior Class lfiSlUl'I-llll. 21 PROPHECY OF THE SENIOR CLASS By AIARTHA REDWINE FRANK CONRAD And it is the end of the first half of the ball game. The score is still 0 to 0. For the benefit of those who have just tuned in. this is the broadcast of the homecoming game of the Class of 1940 coming to you directly from the llolt-Moflit Stadium of Lexington. North Carolina. .-Xt this time we wish to make the following acknowl- edgments to: Bobby Crowell and Lewis Hartzog ljoint Owners of the stadiuml, Lindsay Leonard four sports an- nonneert, Dick Craver tMayor of Lexingtont, and Frank Conrad. Grady Spry, Ralph Cecil, Harold Daniel, Dan Allen. and R. L. Yarborough tour City Commissionersl. lt is these people who made this gathering possible. What a crowd! l wonder if we couldn't recognize a few. Ah yes, there go the unforgettable gold-dust twins. Fred O. Sink and Bill Bingham --still bachelors. And We have a millionaire in our midst. Ivey Grimes invented a new type of picture machine that swept Hollywood off its feet. And speaking of Hollywood, here comes its greatest starfHubert Philpott. He flew across the Continent to be here today. With him came Bobby Johnson, his cameraman, Johnnie Palmer. his publicity manager, and Cr-ralrl Hegre, film director, Did you know Lexington now has a night club? Well. there's the proprietor, .loe Miller, talking business with Hartley Shoaf. his assistant, and behind him is part of the chorus. And who do you think they are? None other than Frances Kimbrell. Geneva Kimbrell. .leanette Kimbrell, Ruth Cruse, Ettie Ruth Kines, Rebecca Leonard, and Helen Shaw. My! l wouldnt believe it. Here's a telegram front Wade Osborne. He broke his toe again and is in Watts Hospital. where Selma Solomon is head nurse, By the way. Elaine Crotts, Vada Hilliard, Thelma Bullock, Martha Redwine, and Hazel Conrad are also on duty there. So sorry they couldn't be here. Directly behind me in the press box are uShu Ca1'lton and his Wife. ,lenky Miller. who is social editor of the New York Times. With them are Jimmy Welborn and Malcolm Freeman, owners of the Lexington Times, Ann Corn, that famous woman football coach of Appalachiang and Mary Gordon and her husband, Kenneth Rhodes, who is running for governor this year. They were married recently by Rev. Plott Craver. Congratulations! Look! there goes the Bachelor's Association of Lexington. consisting of John Kirk, David Agner, Vestal Lan- ning. H. C. Koonts. Patil Smith, Homer Penninger. Leo Church. and ,lune Little, the president. I wish they would give the girls a break. On the far end of tlte held I See Rusty Craver, present coach for L.H.S., talking the game over with Assistant Coach Bob McGinn. By the WHY. Fred Green is now coaching for N. C. State. At the refresh- ment stand l see a group of business women. I cannot recognize all of them, but the faces of Hilda Sink, Louise Frady, ,Io Doris Pickett. Yirginia Watson. Grace Ward. and Mary Frances Darr are easily remembered. Excite- ment! Lawrence Bruff and Wilburn ,lones are in a Hght with the referee, but here comes the Lexington police force. With Fat Price. Jr.. as chief of the force and James Lovell, Kenneth Rowe, Paul Sink, Cecil Brown, and Eugene Bell to hack him. the affair is easily settled. and Pig Thomason drives them away in the black maria. In all this hub-hub do l, hear music? Ah yes, those are the sweet voices of Grace McCrary, Duett Swing, Sara Ever- hart, Iota Hoffman. Dorcas Harris. and Kathryn Fry. They harmonize every Sunday over the radio and are giving us a little sample now. Nice work, girls. My eyes do spot in a far corner four former students, Audrey Simerson, Vivian Pope, Mary Touchstone. and Faith Berrier, discussing their ten happy years of married life. Marriage is a great thing, they always told me. Anyhow, Chip Liark and his wife, Dot Madsen Clark, seem to think so. There's ,lane Moore. the girl who gave up America to marry a Count, and with her is the former Peeny Bernhardt and her son. Yank. Jr. Among the other happily married I see Mrs. Harry D. Michael-the former Ella Stuart Cox. Mrs. Druid Myers-the former Gertrude Surratt. Mrs. Bill Delapp-the former Virginia Holmes Brinkley. Clarence Wagner and wife---Louise Green Wagner, and Arnold Walser and wife-Elizabeth Hudson Vilalser. l also see Elizabeth Ann lflulin. and she still hasn't made up her mind which one she loves. To my right is .lack Witherspoon, editor of the Dispatch. talking with two of his staff-Bobby and Dick Peacock. And there goes Bill Myers, a wealthy banker, and he is no longer single, believe it or notf, Well, Fm glad one woman got her man! The guy selling ice cream certainly looks familiar. No wonder! lt's Joe Kepley selling the products of Coble's Dairy, which is now owned by .lack Anderson. Some of their truck drivers are Herbert Triehy, George Gaines, Kelvin Fritts, and R. G. Hill. The fountain service is supervised by ,Iames Daven- port with Frances Everhart, Louise Earnhardt, Margaret Anthony, Doris Rush, and Faith Tesh as soda jerker-s. Goodness! Such a bunch of intelligent and efficient looking people must be school teachers! They are Carl Rimer. professor at Carolina, and ,lakie Gurley. physical education instructor, surrounded by Nora Lee Byars, Sara Byerly, Ramelle Hooks. Paige Fritts, Dot Thomason. and Mozelle Weaver, members of the faculty at ,lones Business College. Heres another telegram. lt's from Paige Lohr. She and her assistants, Ruth Morris. Anna Blount. Ruth Conrad, Mae Blount. Pauline Allen, Evelyn Lookabill. and Nancy Clayton, are on a tour conducting cooking demonstrations throughout the state. Here-'s luck to them. And there are two popular fashion design-ers-Jackie Phillips and Maud Walton Miller, who recently returned from Paris. With them is Nancy Ward, who has already been a widow three times. Better luck next time, ol' gal. Here come four late arrivers, just entering the gate. Well if they arenit Constance Lanier, Lila Lee Winecoff, and husbands-all the way from Reeds. Welcome home, strangers! As there are only a few seconds left until the game continues, I shall hurriedly name the people I see scamper- ing back to their seats. Therc's Margaret Aaron. Millicent Carlton, and Alma Aaron. The three of them run a day nursery on Second Avenue. Dot Moseley. Maxine Sechrest, Miley Mae Spears, Thelma Curtis, Donese Cross. and Viola Stafford. clerks at Belk's Department Store, follow close behind. And Calvin Stroud, who is making his place in the world by crooning over the radio. stops to chat with Calvin Leonard and Vernon Mickle, his financiers. ,lames Kimhrell. owner of a transfer. passes by with his bookkeeper. Opal Myers. Hobert Rodden, manager of the Granada Theatre. makes room for Forrest Nifong, a comtnercial printer, to sit down. And the game is ready to start as lris Smith, Yiolet Layton, Edith Everhart, Geneva Leonard, and Juanita Holt, who chose the career of housewife, settle comfortably into their places. But wait! There are always some people late. They are Don Earnhardt, Calvin Carrick and C. ,l. Everhart, last but not least. The time between halves has rapidly slipped by. The game has started. Lexington intercepts a passfthe player breaks through the line-he's loose. llo cttls clear and makes a dash across the goal line to victory. The crowd goes wild! The point is good! The score is 7 to 0 in favor of the home team. Lexington is still on the top, aml the team of 1950 is again putting our Alma Mater on the map just as the team of 1940 did, winning the South Piedmont Conference and State Cham- piottsltipsri 22 li I I I r I I t LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the 1940 Senior Class of the Lexington High School, possessing a supposedly high intellectual rating and considering the certainty of our graduation, will endeavor to execute this document at the earliest possible date, and do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament.

Outward there is no sign, Yet inward there is a mine That is exploding and leaving pieces -No longer whole. Could it be happiness' or joy? Or could courage reign, Or insane Judgment which I did not expect Or employ? Thereis a feeling that now Iim facing life I feel that I could Conquer, and I would Not fear friend or foe. Calm or strife. But my joy is changed, for now I see My Alma Mater fade Into the shade Of reminiscence-like a favorite book- Bead but not forgot.
