Class History 'Way back in 1945, we, the present senior class of '48 and '49, trembling with mixed emotions of fear, excitement, and timidity, started the most enjoyable and memorable part of our lives. The upperclassmen, real- izing ou, state of mind, came to the rescue with their friendliness and helped us to become acquainted with the ways of high school. We were only sub-freshmen, but we soon felt that we were a part of the school. We felt fortunate to be able to spend a whole year getting familiar with our classmates and all the activities of the school even before we began our real freshman year. We were always included in many of the projects of the school, such as programs, parades, and sports. We also had a part in the Student Council where we could give our timid opinions. With the belief that the stronger sex could help us through the year, we elected three boys as our Freshman officers. They were J. L. Peeler, presidentg Jimmy Dillon, vice-presidentg and Jimmy Thoma- son, secretary and treasurer. Thus we ended our First year. With the thought in mind of being real freshmen, all of us were anxious to come back to school and make our second year of history. Since our sub-freshmen year had been a success with all-boy leaders, we decided to try it again. This time we elected Jimmy Thomason, presidentg Harold Carter, vice-presidentg and J. L. Peeler, secretary and treasurer. We were never so sure of our abilities as when several of our boys started off with a bang, making the varsity squad of the football and basketball teams. Also the majority of the junior teams were made up of our class. The girls were also in the sports highlight by being on the basketball team, both varsity and junior. The school became very social-minded and organized a successful Canteen Club which we, along with our other schoolmates, enjoyed to the utmost. Struggling with the subjects to prepare us for later life, we were greatly indebted to our teachers who helped us to realize how important it was to study along with having fun. Everyone seemed to experience something new this year because we had no graduating class, due to the twelfth grade's being added. This made us feel even more on the same level with our upperclassmen, in fact giving us confidence. Here again, a year that had once seemed so long ended much too soon for most of us. After the summer of '47 quickly passed, we found ourselves back with high hopes of making our sophomore year even more successful than the freshman year. We found that this year proved to be somewhat harder than the year before, especially as far as lessons were concerned. This was really a year very similiar to the fresh- man year, only more advanced, because we now had two years of experience behind us and were more or less included as upperclassmen. Our sports life was still the most exciting in the school year. More and more mem- bers of our class were entering into football and basketball, and they really proved their worth. We also had our First junior group of cheerleaders, which was made up of juniors and sophomores. To prove that girls were also good leaders. we elected two girls along with two boys as our sophomore ofiicers. They were Jane Strelitz, presi- dent: Jimmy Dillon, vice-presidentg Sarah Tussey, Secretaryg and Doster Wood, treasurer. Although we had one more year before we could attend the Junior-Senior banquet, many of the girls enjoyed acting as waitresses to their beloved upperclassmen. With our hopes and ambitions closed within our hearts, we said goodbye to our classmates for the third time, looking forward to the junior year, Never before had we worked so much as a class or felt ourselves a part of the school as much so as in our junior year. We needed exceptionally good leaders this year because of the many things we had to do, so we chose Ralph Craver, better known as Tubba, as our presidentg Bob Goins, vice-presidentg Sarah Tussey, secretaryg and Jane Strelitz, treasurer. Our first big problem was to select a class ring which could make us true pioneers of L. H. S. Our decision was a black onyx set with a gold crest. Our work throughout the year centered around our two greatest projects, the Junior-Senior banquet and the Junior class play, which was Come Rain or Shine. The work we did while preparing for these two projects seemed worthwhile because both were a big success. We were now eligible for all the honorable clubs for which we had secret high hopes. Many were thrilled by being elected to these various clubs and also the journalistic staffs. Each year seemed to add a few more privileges and activities which were more than suitable for our scrapbook of memories. Little realizing that we had only one more year ahead of us, we gave our farewells to dear 'ole L. H. S. for the fourth year. At last we had reached our goal. Being a senior was not too different from the other classes, as most of us had thought, although we did feel somewhat older and more experienced than our underclassmen. Our main ob- ject was to take part in every activity that was held during the year because we knew it would be our last chance. Our officers this year were Robert Clodfelter, presidentg Caroline Swing, vice-presidentg Sarah Tussey, secretaryg and Buddy Foster, treasurer. The senior year was really a conclusion to all the things that we had been doing throughout our high school days. We took our studies more seriously than ever, and our teachers tried to help us in every way to take advantage of all the subjects necessary for college and other future plans. A dull moment can not be recalled because of themes, debates, Macbeth, parliamentary law, French, trig, and chemistry, plus all the club meetings, sports, preparation for graduation, and other activities which kept us intensely busy all through the year. We were very proud of our victorious football season, and we again made a record by winning our sec- ond bowl game. Another wonderful memory which we shall always cherish is the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was one that could only be praised, and we are very grateful to the Junior class of '49 who was responsible for it. All the happenings of these five years are in our minds as we finally realize that we must depart from the place which has claimed the major part of our lives thus far. Yes, our last year in Lexington High School has ended. As we look back over our high school days, there is a certain sadness within us because we know nothing will ever take their place. Life must go on, though, and we try to remember that there will also be bright days ahead. Because we are greatly indebted to our high school for our happiness and knowledge, we shall do all in our power to make it proud of us by being successful in life. The End. CARoL1NE SWING, Senior Class Historian. 23 Class Prophecy of 'el As I sat in the United Nations Council in New York with glasses flying around me. I began to wonder just what happened to my friends and classmates of the Class of '49. I thought it would be impossible to see and talk with each of them, so I began to wonder if I could get some news about a few of them. However, at that point, my thoughts were rudely interrupted when Mr. Vishinsky told me to convey his feelings about the American dictatorial demonstrations in Berlin and the Balkans to Mr. Marshall After this, I was kept so busy conveying messages between Mr. Vishinsky and Mr. Marshall that my own thoughts were of little importance. However, at long last, the council adjourned, and I was pushed out to dinner. As I fell down the steps, I bumped into Jua- nita Smith, my High School friend and '49 graduate. I was overwhelmed, to say the least. at stepping on her, pardon me-meeting her. We decided, with a little help from the other delegates, to eat lunch together. When we were finally seated and eating lunch, I asked Juanita what she was doing here at the U. N. Council. She told me she was Mr. Marshall's private secretary. We could not understand how we had stayed at the same place so long and had not met until now. I then asked her if she knew what had happened to our classmates. She was as much in the dark as I was, but she had a plan. Why don't we go on a week-end tour in her new jet plane, and see what happened to them? Getting permission from Mr. Marshall to leave our strenuous duties for the week-end, we climbed aboard the Zipping Zombie, and when I regained consciousness I was in the Lexington Me- morial Hospital with Five people bending over me. At once I recognized Bob Clodfelter, Mary Nell Lopp, Mildred Martin, Jean Lohr, and Nancy Koonts. I wondered if they had the whole staff reviewing my remains! As I started to turn over, Nell and Nancy rushed to help me. Then a thought struck me-where was Juanita? After untang- ling my mind and tongue, I asked Bob what happened to Juanita. He informed me she was quite all right and was at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. It seemed as if Juanita was used to hair-raising rides! However, I decided to make the best of things and began to ask questions at once. I found out that Bob was chief surgeon with Jean as the obstetriciang and Nell, Nancy, and Mildred were the vary capable nurses on the staff. My last question, but not least, was how in the world am I going to get out of here?? They then told me that they had already made ar- rangements for me to leave. At that moment Rodney Clark and Harold Allen came in with a stretcher to take me to the Ritz Carlton Hotel. We exchanged hello's and they told me ivery modestly, of coursel that they were own- ers of Green Hornet Ambulance Service. Without further ado, I was carried to the Creeping Flea and whisked away to the ultra-ultra Ritz Carlton and the beginning of a week-end of never ending surprises. Upon my spectacular arrival at the Ritz Carlton, I was greeted by none other than Joe Honeycutt and Caro- line Swing, the owners of this exclusive show place. Juanita was also there to greet me. As I passed through the lobby, I saw a huge sign saying that Joe Hooks and orchestra, featuring Jimmy Tussey at the piano, Curtis Leonard on the trumpet, Charles Allen on the trombone, and Bonnie Leonard, vocalist, would be the feature of the big banquet to be presented February 1 tthat's tonightj honoring Joanne Koonts, the glamorous movie star, and her current heart throb, Ralph Craver, the rage of the bobby-soxers. As I was carried into the elevator, I got a glimpse of Norman Bubba Gambrell and David Landis. Rodney and Harold told me that they were key men in North Carolina's State Health Department. Juanita's and my suite was simply out of this world. She told me that the internationally famous decorator, Olivia Coggins, had just finished redecorating the hotel. After I was put safely into bed, Juanita began to tell me of the big events to take place over the week-end. First, after I finished my rest, we were to go to a tea given for Ruth Kinney and Colleen Story, the co-authors of the Broadway hit, The Twins, and also for the poet laureate of the U. S., Alene Staton. Then we were to take in a pro baseball game. I was surprised to learn that Bill Eanes was the coach and that his stars were Blake Phillips, Hal Crotts, and Bob Calloway. Afterward we were to attend the big banquet. I was so wide-eyed at all this that it took me a long time to go to sleep. After coming in from a hectic afternoon, I jumped into one of those new round bathtubs, manufactured by the Bobby Martin Manufacturing Company, and poured in a bottle of the new explosive bubble bath compounded by Jean Rollins and Evelyn Fulbright, those two Madame Curies of our day lor so it says on the bottlej. After Zelda ithat's foreign for Juanitaj and I had dispensed with the formalities, We left our suite and plunged head-long into the elevator. Holding fast to our strapless gowns, we parachuted slowly to the first floor. As we entered the ballroom iunescorted, of coursej, we were immediately given the Bum's Rush-and we don't mean that all the bums in town asked us to dance either. We were thrown-pardon, shown to the door, but we finally dug up our health card and social register card so the official let us crawl back into the ballroom. The spacious ballroom was lighted by two beautiful chandeliers, designed by Fran Swicegood, the Thomas Edison of Lexington. As we entered the ballroom for the second time, we were greeted by three lovely hotel hostesses, Patsy Bailey, Ann Fox, and Pattie Sue Bates. They showed us to the head table where all the celebrities were to be seated. We asked if there wasn't some mistake in placing us at the head table, but Pattie Sue said she could place two more chairs on the end and for us to be quiet. After squeezing in under the table, Juanita and I were surprised to overhear Donald Bishop, Thomas Bruff, and Bob Jenkins talking about the latest prize fights. As we edged closer, we heard Thomas say he would not fight Fred Dobey the following week because Fred had just beaten Buddy Foster and walked off with the U. S. feather-weight championship. At this point, we interrupted them by a loud sneeze tunintentionally, of coursej. When we had talked with them a while and found that Donald and Bob were Thomas' managers now that Thomas was a prize-fighter, we leaned over their shoulders and came eye-to-eye with none other than J. L. Peeler and Jim Dillion. We were so over-whelmed lJuanita fainted twiceb that we just sat there staring. Finally we recovered ourselves and proceeded to ask the usual questions. J. L. told us that he now owned the chain bake- ries!-The Great United Bakeries. But Jim wasn't to be outdone, and he told us that he owned the largest overall concern in the state of North Carolina. However. we recognized Barbara Ritchie and Jane Strelitz talking to each other, so we pulled ourselves away from these two alert, intelligent and civic-minded business men to join Bar- bara and Jane. 24 i As soon as we were in earshot of Barbara and Jane, we heard them conversing about Bob Kepley, J. T. McBride, and Harold Carter, the All-American football stars. But when we reached them we pounced upon our never-ending questions. Jane informed us she was the manager of Taylor's, the exclusive women's shop, and Barbara told us she was the head of the Hill Modeling Agency. She also told us that Frances Carpenter, Treva Garner, and Avril Sink were the best models she had. Juanita and I were so enthralled with all this Career Girl talk that we didn't notice Martha Siceloff and Jim Plott until they had passed us. We immediately excused our- selves and rushed off in pursuit of them. Martha saw us coming and tried to warn Plott, but it was 'too late. They were not to be spared from our questions, and the fireworks began. It seemed that they were currently at the University of North Carolina majoring in Dramatics and co-starred in all the plays presented by the Playmakers. We began to wonder if they would be another Lunt and Fountain, but we weren't allowed much time because Dale Everhart of the Daily Tar- heel, Charlie Myers of The Dispatch, and, and T. Adrian Neal, editor of The Dispatch, came up to take pictures of the fast-becoming stars. So tripping over each other, we tried to leave as quietly as possible. We walked along beside the table, peering into each face to see if we recognized some more of our old friends. Suddenly we ran face-on to six of our old classmates chatting enthusiastically about school athletics, business, and school in general. These Learned Ladies were Geraldine Snellings, Girls Basketball coach of L.I-I.S.g Billie Ritchie, coach of the girls basketball team of Thomasville High School, Mary Dowtin. principal of Grimes Schoolg Mary Jo Dorsett, principal of Robbins School, Jeanne Cross, head of L.H.S.'s Business Departmentg and Roberta Bai-ford, head of fashion department at William and Mary. Our heads began to whirl with all this intel- lectual talk, so we decided to go on with our tour of the head table. Jessie Brown and Betty Anne Everhart were our next victims. We Finally got them to tell us what they had been doing, and it sounded like they had quite a career. You see, they were the co-owners of the Anne-Louise Jewelry Case, Lexington's most modern jewelry shop. We would liked to have heard more, but their voices were drowned out by Bob Goins, president of Davidson College: Ronnie Gordon, famous Crime Attorney: Lt. Colonel Jack Hankins, U. S. military strategist, Bill Harvell, well-known tailorg and Tom Sheets, owner of the B. Sz B. Laundry, They were talking about-of all things-Civil Rights. This conversation was just too heated for us to break into, so we bade goodbye to Jessie and Betty Anne and took up our merry jaunt. Word must have spread along the table that we were there, because we surprised Ida Honeycutt, Sarah Tus- sey, Mary Thomason, and Emma Lee Sink when we came up to them while they were planning a way to avoid us. However, being nicely brought-up, they realized they were trapped. Again we started about to quench our curiosity. Ida had made good in the advertising business, while Sarah, Mary, and Emma Lee were three of the best Republican women leaders in the state. These political women told us, too, that Jacqueline Sink, Louise Younts, Betty Jean Shoaf, Jo Ann Tussey, and Elizabeth Young were among the rising Republican women leaders in the nation. It seemed as if some of our old friends were still tighting for a lost cause. Nevertheless, we de- cided to write President Truman and the Democratic Congress that they better watch out because the Party had some serious threats now. By now our legs were giving out, so we decided to sit down the next time we saw two vacant chairs. Luck was really with us, because at that moment we saw two chairs close to Bob Sink, Bill Massey, and James Mor- ris. We eased up on them and quietly flopped down to rest our weary feet. Our questions were not giving out though. The Sink Theater was the largest in the Two Carolinas, Bob told us. Bill told us he was now inventing a tireless motorbike-don't ask us how-and that James was to be a part owner because he had volunteered to test it. We always knew Bill would end up contributing something great to humanity, even if it was in the form of a tireless motorbike. Bill wanted to go into detail about his new invention-to-be, but we had to tear ourselves away so we could talk to a few more of our friends. Slipping up on Donald Thomason, Doster Wood, Jim Thomason, and Billy Yarbrough wasn't easy, but now, we finally succeeded. Don said he would talk for the group. He began to tell us that Jim was the manager of the Charlotte Clippers, the pro football teamg and Doster was the sports writer and announcer for the High Point Enterprise and the WHPE radio station which is affiliated with the paper. Billy, it seemed, was gaining recogni- tion as his Yarbrough Oil Company kept expanding over N, C., and other southern states. Don was so wrapped up in the others that he had forgot to tell us that he was the owner of the new park consisting of a large skating rink, swimming pool, baseball diamond, etc. With all these luxurious past times drumming in our ears, we swayed away to meet four more of our '49 classmates and friends. Levi Roberson, Kenneth McCrary, Jack Sink, and Charles Rogers were discussing the topic of beautiful wo- men of the Ziegiield Follies-namely Carole Biesecker, Wilma Everhart, Betty Rose Conrad, and Peggy Everhart -so in order not to make us feel too bad, they changed the subject. They were given the usual what-have- you-been-doing-with-yourself? and this is the information we gained. Levi was the owner of the Horton Motor Linesg Kenneth was now starring in the Broadway production, Kiss the Blood off My Hands , Charles was the owner of the Rogers Flour Mill: and Jack was a professor of science at Duke University. - By this time, we had come to the end of the head table and had talked with our classmates of the senior class of '49. It hardly seemed possible that it was time to leave all these friends we had missed for so long. However, we trudged off to our elaborate suite and a night of heavy slumber. Z-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-M-M-M-M-M-M!! Off we go into the wild blue yonder with Zelda at the controls. As I was drifting off into unconsciousness, I realized that we had just spent this surprising week-end in the way that only people in the 20th Century can. Ah, yes, it's-a-great-world! AGNES WILSON, Prophet. 25 Last 'Will and Testament STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DAVIDSON COUNTY City of Lexington Lexington High School G WE, THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1949, regretfully depart from the portals of Lexington High being Of sound body and excellent health, but before we leave we declare this to be our last will and testament to be executed in the following order: ARTICLE I.

S. opened its 1948 football season with an impressive victory over a strong Elon College Jayvee team. With a host of new faces in the lineup, the Jackets failed on several scoring attempts. However, midway in the second period Hal Crotts broke through To block an Elon kick and L. H. S. recovered. From here Eanes passed to Plott in the end zone. The extra point was missed thus making the score 6-0. Rugged lineplay stopped threats by both teams. Co-Captains Carter and Kepley played outstanding ball. THOMASVILLE The Yellow Jackets came late in the Final quarter to top T-ville 12-7. Lexington scored Hrst on a pass from Eanes to Carter on the 3. Eanes drove over for the score. The Bulldogs were not to be denied and came roaring back, led by Grayson's beautiful running. In the fourth quarter Tobin tossed to Loftin in the end zone. The Bulldogs took the lead momentarily. Time was running out and L. H. S. began to move on the sharp passing of Eanes. Interference on Crotts was ruled on the one yard line. A five yard penalty put the ball on the sixth. This, however, did not stop the Jackets who scored on the next play when Eanes passed to Plott in the end zone. Redwine Timberlake - -. Aan-. ,. - ' F. Wagner Plott 'UF R. Craver C.

A couple of plays later Jones tallied and Bryard made the conversion. Scoring attempts in the second and third periods proved futile. In the fourth Lexington began to click on passes all the way to the H. P. 10, From here Eanes passed to Dillon for the score. McBride made the extra point to tie the ball game 7 all. H. P. returned the kickoff to the 45. A long pass scored the winning tally. Lexington, trying to get back into the ball game, had a pass intercepted for a Bison T. D.

From here Eanes passed. which sent the Maus-men ahead 13 to 0. In the fourth period Eanes passed to Dillon for 15. A few plays later Eanes then scored.

H. S. captured a contest over an inspired Orphan eleven, thus keeping the homecoming tradition intact. The visitors struck First on a long pass from Man- grum to Young. Then the Jackets began to roll with Carter making the local tally and bringing the score 7-6. Later in the second period the locals scored again on a pass from Eanes to Dillon. In the third eriod L. H. S. recovered a fumble and a few plays ljater Carter raced over for the score. Barium, re- fusing to give up, came roaring back 65 yards and the final score of the night was L. H. S. 21 and Barium 3. H. Wagner D. Leonard CHILDRENS HOME As usual the L. H. S.-C. H, game was a nip and tuck affair with the defense outshining the offense. Early in the game the Orphans drove to the L. H, S. 7 only to be stopped by the ferocious Orange line. L. H. S. had several drives annulled on penalties. Most of the game was played near the midfield mark- ers with the game ending in 0-0 tie. W r xy --gr Hill Foster Crotts B. Leonard 1. . Lindsey Clark MOORE SVILLE L. H. S. topped Mooresville 18 to 0 in a conference game with two other local markers being annulled by penalties. Neat running by Carter set up the first score with Eanes plunging over. Mooresville threatened several times in the second quarter but was not able to score. In the third quarter McBride raced 55 yards for the second score. The final touchdown was made by Crow on a pass from Carter. Xa . ,, Koonts C. Everhart CONCORD Lexington, probably playing their best game of the season, rolled over Concord 27 to 0 Carter took a pass from Eanes and by shifty running carried the pigskin 55 yards for a touchdown. A little later in the first chapter Carter bulled over another score from the one yard marker. Plott bucked over the third L. H. S. score in the second period after two long passes that helped to set up the touchdown. Peeler, late in the game, faded and threw 17 yards to Crotts for the final L. H. S. score. THIRD ANNUAL DAIRY BOWL-L. H. S. vs. CHARLOTTE TECH. The Yellow Jackets, winding up a brilliant season met Tech High of Charlotte and emerged the victor 20-0 in a mud-slinging contest. After being held scoreless in the First half the Jackets began to roll. Redwine blocked a Tech punt which re- sulted in a L. H. S. tally. In the last quarter, L. H. S. advanced to the two where Eanes bulled over for the score.

Our cheerleaders have really pepped us up with plenty this year! We had more cheerleaders this past season than ever before. The new ones elected were Amelia Brown, Peggy Costner, Carolyn Koonts, Nancy Swing, and Teeny Redwine. Our cheerleaders did a grand job, and they have really proved their worth. Among the many activities which they undertook this year was that of spon- soring a school dance after each football game, which really proved successful. Also they have given us some of the best pep meetings ever to be held which will be among our most treasured memories. 57 KQLZL15 M , xii 111,111 lllilll lflllff llllllf lil ll! ,ff .su su up an 1 .Q f sf' Q n ffm rs ,H W .

Student Council Under the capable and serious leadership of Bob Goins, the Student Council has been very active and influential this year. Two delegates were sent to Henderson to attend the North Caro- lina State Student Council Convention. Some of the most important projects that the council has undertaken this year are the fol- lowing: operating a better school store containing more school supplies and a larger recreational room for the studentsg maintaining some type of entertainment at all times: sponsoring a larger and better clean-up campaign around school, exterior and interior, making the school constitu- tion more efficient and stronger, and making the Student Council one of the most eflicicnt organ- izations in Lexington High School. Under the direction of Mr. Theodore Leonard, faculty adviser, the Student Council has met with one of the most successful years in the history of Lexington High School. 61 I JANE STRELITZ Editor m Chief J.
