With the thrills of six different classes, men teachers, and lockers all our own, we began our career as high school students. The pride of our stronger sex was wounded deeply when we were forced to take six weeks of home economics. In the end it turned out to be most enjoyable with all the biscuits, cocoa, et cetera, that we made and devoured. Some of the boys began their careers by playing junior varsity football and basketball. This valuable experience was the beginning of four long, eventful, thrill-packed years for these young athletes. Our fairer sex began to learn how to gossip and giggle like their favorite s ni . W e ors e got our first taste of sorrow as our fine football team lost the Conference Championship in a heart-breaking game to Children's Home by a close 25-21 score. In dismay we learned that our hard-earned six units were not to count on the flnal total for gradaution, as the twelfth grade was installed beginning with the class above us. Since no class officers were elected, the homeroom presidents, Bob Hoffman, Bill Blalock, Benny Walser, Bobby Nell Burle- son, Peggy Wood, and Buddy Bender, served as class leaders. The strong hand of freshman principal W. D. Payne proved invaluable in starting us off on the right path. With one year behind us we adjourned in the spring, eager for the next year when we would officially be freshmen. The summer whisked by. and we entered upon our second year confident that we could quickly rub off any traces ol' green that might be left. Our boys were first to display their abilities by out-shining some of the upperclassmen in making the varsity football and basketball teams. This proved to be one of our roots of great- ness. All who struggled through Latin were uncertain about the future of Julius Caesar. We felt very lucky to be able to enjoy the privileges of the Youth Center, the first in the history of the school. Many delightful hours were spent there by members of the class. Happiness mingled with pain came out of our first venture into one of the famed Put's gym classes. The year as a whole proved a big success under the very able leadership of Tommy Westmoreland, president, Jim Barger, vice president: Mary Ann Hartzog, secretaryg and Paul McCrary. treasurer. We felt more at home as we ended our second year. After a pleasant summer we returned to our third year and again made history as a part of a student body that was the first in Lexington High School not to turn out a gradauting class. Again our boys shone brightly on the various varsity squads, with some of the girls finding honors as majorettes and cheer leaders. Other girls gained many benefits and much pleasure in inaugurating our first Future Homemakers of America Club. Officers l'or the year were wisely chosen with Hugo Phelps, president: Zacky Taylor. vice president: Bill Blalock, secretary: and Benny Walser, treasurer: and many praises go to Hugo for leading us through a grand year. The Etiquette Club Prom took the place of the Junior-Senior Banquet, and all classes joined in a brilliant school-wide social affair at the Municipal Club. We passed the summer of 1946 very pleasantly, with many of us having various experiences at the beach. Our class entered into this our fourth and probably our most thrilling year feeling rather important as second to but one Juniors. The class as a whole felt proud as different members were elected into the Honor Society, Beta Club, Hi-Y Club, and Quill and Scroll. Those elected found their high school ambitions realized. We made probably the wisest decision of our career as a class by choosing Mr. Theodore Leonard as our adviser. Mr. Leonard proved to be just wonderful in helping us with our most important projects-the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Junior Class play. Bob Hendricks, Mozelle Perrell, Martha Cox, and Pete Clark were elected as president. vlce president, secretary, and treasurer, respectfully. These also proved to be wise choices. All worked along with Mr. Leonard to make the Junior-Senior Banquet the most successful and most delightful ever given. Special praises go to Bob Hendricks who showed his worth as a leader. With everybody helping. the Junior Class play, Life Begins at Sixteen, proved to be just as successful. Thus, all missions completed. we ended our best year thus far with thoughts of being-yes. that's right- dignified seniors. The summer was again enjoyable with some few gaining valuable knowledge by attending Girls' and Boys' State. We entered into this our final year conscious of the responsibilities that were soon to befall us. Competent officers were elected with Zacky Taylor, presidentg Mozelle Perrell, vice president: Audrey Blackburn, secretary: and Bill Palmer, treasurer. With the resignation of our former principal who had entered school with us, we were given a new principal, Mr. C. E. Wike, to guide us through our most important year. With Great Expecta- tions we entered Mrs. Ottis Hedrick's English class and were quickly floored by her Macbeth contract. Enjoying senior privileges and being feted by the Junior class at the Junior-Senior Banquet, we now really felt like the respected Seniors we were supposed to be. We again made history by taking part in some way or other in our first victorious football Bowl Game. In this grand finale many seniors played their last football game for L.H.S. Bob Hendricks again proved himself our outstanding leader by heading the most active Student Coun- cil of our high school career. Mr. J. L. Gathings' sociology class was something new and very beneficial, and another life long friend was gained by the class in Mr. Gathings. Sad, but with everlasting memories, we end our high school days with the comforting thought from Shakes- peare that Al1's well that ends well, and this great venture had truly ended well. We now feel sure that we are prepared to enter into this peace-hungry world and do our part to help solve the differences and smooth out the troubles so that the children of succeeding generations may enjoy as won- derful a high school career as we have.

WITNESSESZ President, Zack Taylor Adviser, Mrs. Ottis M. Hedrick Principal, Mr. C. E. Wike 27 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I hopped off the rods of a cattle car of the C. O. D. P. D. 8: Q. R. R., which I later learned belonged to that railroad magot, er-magnet, er-somthin'-anyway, Bob Hendricks, owned the train, and he would have been very happy to have me bum a ride off'n him, if he had known I was traveling CI was on the way north to my summer home in Hobokini, I saw none other than Douglas Craver, the eminent lawyer the saysl. Doug was hunched over a small fire of coal, swiped from Alex Beck's coal fields, and eat- ing a can of tomatoes grown by Amos Fritts, the nationally known truck farmer and canned by the Tommy Westmoreland Canning Company. Westmoreland foods, I knew, could be bought at any A 8: P fEunice Auman and Bill Palmerh store. I asked Doug what he was doing, and he told me that he was at present representing the firm of Penland, Poston, and Price CWallace, Jim, and Charlesj, Inc., the financiers in a fight against the female firm falliterationl of Wall, Witherspoon, and Weese CBetty Anne, Nancy, and Bettyb, Inc., likewise financiers, in a fight over the patent for a better mousetrap, invented by Charles Bruce Rothrock, Jr., the industrial genius. I asked Doug how he could practice law by a hobo's campfire. Without a word he whisked me into a taxi, owned by Don Sink and driven by one of his famous lady drivers, and took me to Tussey Building, built by Bruce Tussey and designed by Hewey Clodfelter, the architect, where he evidently had his offices. We went up to his plush offices, furnished with the latest modern furniture built by the B. 8: F. Furniture Company, owned by M. T. Brown and Charles Fleming. The walls were decorated by originals, painted by Jane Shoaf, Nancy Waitman, and Barbara Jones, all famous artists by now. I saw only a few of Doug's many secretaries-Isabel Essick, Theola Jordan, and Joyce Purdee. His chief assistant, Jim Webb, was also in the oHice. Jim Russell and Pete Clark, men about town, both nattily dressed in new suits tailor-made by James Everhart and Don Koontz's uptown tailor shop, walked in. Also in the office were the lovely Shirley Richardson and- Audrey Blackburn who are rumored to be about ready to go into a new play, to be produced by James Tate. I noticed several magazines. On top was a new joke book, jointly written by Buddy Bender and Betsy Sink, with technical advice from Edgar Swing, the humorist. Under it lay a copy of M'Lady, the monthly fashion mag published by the Mary Allison Martin Publish- ing Company and edited jointly by Martha Harbinson and Geraldine Yarborough. In glanc- ing through it I saw clothes created by Verona Thomason, Mary Jo Sharpe, Kathryn Rober- son, and Sarah Everhart, and modeled by Barbara Shambley, Ramona Taylor, Betty Sue Weaver, and Patsy Leonard-all lovely ladies. In conversation with Doug, I learned that the eminent medic, Dr. John Foust, shared offices in this very building with Dr. Jimmy Grayson-these men being assisted by the trained nurses, Carolyn Bailey and Dottie Russell. Also in the building was the law firm of Stokes 8: Stokes. T. D. has become nationally known for his defense of men's rights. In another building down the street Bill Blalock, the financial genius, holds brokerage of- fices with Charles Koontz as partner. Doug and I decided to go to a pro-football game between the Yankees and the Giants. Johnny Newell owns and coaches the Yankees, and Paul McCrary likewise owns and coaches the Giants. On the way to the game, I learned that Benny Walser was head-coach at U.N.C. Bob Holmes is head line coach there now, also. Down at dear ole L. H. S. Clayton Gibson and Sam Everhart had played football for so many years that they were made head backtield and line coaches, respectively, of the Jacket powerhouse. Lyniel Beck and Betty Small have been instrumental in founding a woman's pro-football league, and it is rumored that Martha Cox, Sarah Everhart, and Lillie Byrd are big owners of the million dollar enterprise. 28 Doug tells me that for some time Joyce Welch and Nancy Sink have been co-deans of women at Vassar. Joan Horton and Ella Rae Hardister are also famous educators by now. Mozel Perrell, Margie Coggins, Nancy Helmstetler, and Ruth Jenkins are by now famous for both their dramatic art on the stage and their great beauty. Nancy and Nell Haynes are singing in the movies, having succeeded the Andrews Sisters. Grace Hendricks is now a techni- cal expert on the South at S. O. S. Movie Studios tDon Snider, Foy Owen, and John Swicegoodl. Jim Barger is now president of Duke University while Ruth Everhart holds a similar post at Converse. Pauline Coppley has just invented, in her laboratory, a cure for hiccups. My eyes grew larger as Doug went on. Ronald Smith is now teaching at West Point. Johnny Bivings owns the largest funeral parlor in the nation, catering only to mass murders and wars, while Jack Burkhart has stopped playing professional basketball and is now coaching. Doug Gosnell and I. M. Leonard have gone into a cafeteria style used car lot. Hugh Mathis and Johnny Raker are still handsome leading men in I-Iollywood. Mary Anne Hartzog played opposite Johnny recently in Long Hair and Drapes , while Faye Robbins, the toast of Holly- wood, starred with Hugh in Monkey Man Returns. Mary Ella Hathcock and Frances Hall are also character actresses of great renown. Doug talked on. I learned that Anna Hedrick was the first woman senator from North Carolina. Zack Taylor is now chief justice of the Supreme Court. Lewis Tesh had, through his wide reading, become librarian of Congress. Billie Conrad is now the U. S. ambassador to Brazil. Roland Swing, the motor master, now turns out almost all the motorcycles used the world over. He is well known for his Roland Role-on. Charles Harbinson is president of the Trans-World airlines, having worked himself up from assistant prop spinner. Wayne Everhart is his chief engineer. A After the game was over and Doug's tale was told, we went back to the freight yards, I to hop the next freight, Doug to his fire and can of tomatoes. Maybe he'll be there when I go back south for the winter next year. I hope so. Maybe til then, the other members of the class will be as successful as I am now. Here comes my freight. Toivuvrv YOUNG, Prophet. 29 VDUJW LOOK TO THE FUTURE HEWEY CLODFELTER, Class Poet Don't fear when leaving Lexington Hig Remember 1ife's lessons, as time goes by, And use them to conquer the hardships and strife That make for ourselves a successful life: A life that others will see, and know That they would be happier, if they lived so. A heart that's clean and a soul that's pure Will through the hardships of life endure. And don't forget to remember God When the going is rough and the way is hard, For He is the One who helps conquer the strife, And will lead us on to Eternal Life. .ILA ' ' 'f 0wf,'m. as f x.'3ltlfl2,ALf:Nh'i'9,.iL ' - st fracas A944-L ' , 0' f 5 l . an :.., !

T' 'V 15- , A,,.M,.1 .Q 4 SPOfRTyl' L. H. S. VS. SALISBURY The 1947 Lexington High football squad opened the season with an impressive 13-0 victory over Boyden High of Salisbury. The Jackets of L. H. S. threatened several times in the opening period and finally crossed the goal for the tlrst time in the second period. Eanes passed 35 yards to Plott for the touchdown. Everhart kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0. The second tally came in the fourth quarter on a blocked punt by Pete Clark on Boyden's 35 and after recovering, raced the remaining distance. The extra point was missed. STATESVILLE The Jackets played host to the Statcsville Greyhounds for their second engagement of the season. This was little more than a good workout for the squad for nearly every player was used in the game. The goal was crossed in every period. The Hnal score was 35-O. Stinky Gibson was called back on three touch- downs because of penalties. ASHEBORO Maus' mighty men continued to roll when they met an underdog Asheboro eleven. Asheboro was never in the ball game. Carter made several beautiful punts and kick-ofl' returns, A LITTLE two on one during Statesville game. 49 Walser Taylor Blalock Price 1 Redwine about to alter a Monroe back's face. but there was really no individual star in this one-sided affair. Jaybird McCrary did his share by earning 12 points. Again the Yellow Jackets scored in every quarter. Others earning tallies for Lexington were Bill Eanes, who scored twice, J. L. Peeler and Bill Cook. Points after were made by Plott, Everhart, and Newell. The final score was 61-0. The Jackets started preparing the next week for the Children's Home game which was expected to be a tough one. CHILDREN'S HOME Woe at last struck the high riding Yellow Jackets. Although outplaying and showing plenty of power the home team was unable to reach pay dirt, and they were forced to submit to a stubborn Methodist team. After having struggled through three periods the Jackets reached the Home one yard stripe only to give the ball up on downs. Sprinkle intercepted a pass and ran to the L. H. S. 33 yard line. From there they drove over with the clock showing 50 seconds left to play. The point was good and the game ended 7-0. Carter was hurt late in the game but was ready for practice as the squad prepared to meet High Point the following week in the Homecoming tilt. HIGH POINT Great line play and several well-thrown passes gave the Jackets a 7-0 Homecoming victory over the Bisons of High Point. The field was 'soggy from recent rains and this greatly hampered the running attack of both teams, although both sides showed some beautiful running ability. Lexington started many long drives 50 s f . , zf. -A 'gfigssi' ffl: 1 Y Y iffl- gil Eanes McCrary McBride Kepley but were halted by penalties. Eanes threw to Clark in the third period who drove to the goal line. Eancs then flipped to Taylor who crossed over the double stripe for six points. Newell's placement was perfect and the score stood 7-0. The Bisons were never able to score. BARIUM SPRINGS Our backs ran high and wide to score five touchdowns against a stubborn but lighter Barium team. The Jackets really marred che Presbyterian's Homecoming. Bill Eanes scored the first two markers and Carter the third. Stinky Gibson, celebrating his 20th birthday, scored the fourth and Bill Cook intercepted a pass and scooted 40 yards for the Hnal score. lVIcCrary kicked the point after the first touchdown. The second half was played in a downpour of rain and greatly hindered the tries for extra points. The final score was 31-0. HENDERSON Both Henderson and Lexington High fought vainly to score in this non-conference clash. The Jackets lost to Henderson 27-0 last year in a post season tilt and were out for revenge. Clayton Gibson and Harold Carter were consistent ground gainers but their beats were often marred by penalties. Lexington reached the Henderson seven yard line on fourth down once but lost the ball there. Carter suffered a broken shoulder in the third period after a 5 yard jaunt, Henderson had a Une back in Bozo Roberson. The game ended in a scoreless tie. Eanes hands off to Carter in High Point game. t 5 l Cook Gibson Newell Plott Y . 2 f-. ' Did Ezines stop Bozo? MONROE The Yellow Jackets unleashed their finest offenses to down a highly overrated Monroe eleven 39-O. They scored in every quarter and the half time score was 26-0. There were a great many substitutions during the game and the subs scored several touchdowns showing their ability. Truell was the spark of the Monroe team. lflanes scored the first touchdown. Cook, McBride, Taylor, and Peeler scored soon after. Peeler ran a punt back 35 yards with the aid of' beautiful blocking by lVIcCrary and Dillon. THONIASVILLE The Jackets were still on the rampage as they toppled Thomas- ville High 20--0. The first half' was a scoreless see-saw battle. Lexington threatened several times in the first half but was unable to push across a score. They came back the second half fired up. The first touch- down came in the third period when lVIcCrary plunged over to climax a sustained drive. The second came in the same period and was credited to Gibson who scored from the five yard line. The last score was the result of' a pass from Eanes to Plott. CONCORD Lexington High was f'orced to come from behind to secure a 6-6 tie with the Concord Spiders, Concord scored early in the final quarter when Kluttz went over from the 2. The Jackets came back late in the period on a long scoring drive. McCrary plunged over from the three for the tally. Johnny Newc11's usual 52 Everhart Cla rk White Craver true toe failed and the score was tied up 6-6 when the final whistle blew. They prepared to meet Albemarle the following week preparatory to going to Hickory for the Lions Bowl game. ALBEIVIARLE The Bowl Bound Jackets drew a 7-0 win over the stub- born Albemarle Bulldogs, Unable to click in the first half. the Yellow Jackets fared better in the third and fourth period. J. L. Peeler, reserve back, tossed a perfect aerial to end, Pete Clark, in the fourth period for the lone tally. Newell's try tor point was good. Gibson was outstanding for Lexington, while Gantt stood out for the losers. MORGANTON This was it! The Jackets met Morganton in the Lions Bowl at Hickory and came away the victor by a close margin of 6-0. 'l he .lackets threatened twice in the first period and scored once, The score was nullified by a 15 yard penalty. A perfectly executed screen play resulted in the Lexington touchdown, when late in the fourth quarter Bill Cook raced 35 yards behind brutal blocking to score. The point was missed.

Jimmy Poston is head of the crew, Tall and slim though he may be, The cheering he does can be done by few Quality, not quantity, counts, you see. Martha, Jean, and Joanne are there too, Their faces are always in smiles And boy! all the cheering they do. Can be heard for miles and miles. Also, Jane, Mike, and Goo-Ball are there, So happy and full of glee They have that vitality and pep so rare That Hback 'em up air good to see. Now these seven people do their job very Hne As they yell with all their might, And the cheering they do is the finest kind Yes, our cheer leaders are plenty all right! 56 HCTWITES E Q I 5 Nm x o NAL HON mx 5 ocxuv L2 X H5 L5 THE 1947-48 OFFICERS Bos HENDRICKS ......w, ...,..., ,.,.......... ..., ,...,...
