THEODORE LEONARD Combining high ideals, hard Work, and a real interest in Lexington High School and its students, he is recognized, not only as an educator and a leader of remarkable ability, but is considered one of the best friends any L.H.S. boy or girl can have. To the love and accord that is already his, the staff humbly and inadequately adds its tribute. We dedicate the 1952 LEXICON to one who has dedicated him- self to serving us and our school. 4 1F UREWOR Here, for your enjoyment, is a book of memories of the 1951-52 school year of Lexington High School. It is designed to present, as far as its limited capacities will allow, a record in words and pictures of a very important era in your life and in the life of the school. The staff fully realizes the inadequacy of the annual and yet takes pride in the result attained by hard work. The finished product may not seem too impressive now, but we hope that in future years, you may take this yearbook from the shelf, brush away a score or a decade of dust and use it to recall vividly your days at Lexington High. We are aware of the inability of cold words and pictures to capture the warmth and feeling that are attributes of human experience only, but We have made an earnest effort to furnish you with a guide to memories. So, with a humility born of the immense responsibility that has been ours and with the pride that comes when a job is done, the staff presents for your enjoyment- the 1952 Lr:xIcoN. . D 5 ADMINISTRATION I Mr. L. li. Andrews, in his fifteenth year as superintendent of Lexington City Schools, and Mr. C. ll. Wike, principal of the High School for the past five years, expertly guided L.H.S. through 1951-52. Seven new teachers were added to the faculty in the fall and new courses made their appearance in the curriculum, among them individual driving lessons, physics, and economic geography. While carrying on the work in the present high school, the administration was busy planning the new high school, con- struction of which began early in the fall. MR. L, IC. ANDREVVS, superintendent ofthe city schools, has won, hy his simple dignity, admiration from both parents and students. NIR. Cl. If. XYIKIQ, principal, is a favorite among students Hur his congenial method of supervision. MRS. HICNRY SINK, MRS. Cl. Ii. MILLER and MRS. HAZIQI.

' On September 5, approximately 850 students registered at L.H.S. for the 1951- 52 school year. For the first few days, students wandered in and out of classes, seeking the elusive A courses. There just were not enough such courses to go around, however. Students soon got far enough behind in their school work to concentrate on the first football game inaugurated with appropriate Pep Rally and the year's first Lexhipep. Assemblies helped the new eighth graders get acquainted with high school life and customs and gave seniors additional opportunity to lord it over underclassmen, who every Thursday, al- ways waited for the Class of '52 to march out first. THURSDAY MORNING assemblies featured a variety of awoke seniors sleeping on front row. fllaire Hunrl pictured, instructive and entertaining programs. Only programs of sen- developed look of passive boredom after four years of assembly- sational nature, such as Ciscills now famous adagio dance, going. 8 P l I ..

Fl2ESH ALUMNI The senior class of 1952, the thirtieth to graduate from Lexington High School, was a comparatively small class, numbering only eighty-eight members. Despite unimpressive size, however, the class admirably lived up to the record set by its predecessors. Faculty sponsors, Mrs. Ottis Hedrick and Miss Charlotte Mat- thews, worked with the seniors. Major feather in the Class of '52's cap was improvements in caps and gowns. Navy blue academic robes replaced L.H.S.'s well-used and well-worn gray ones. Usual senior activities included the early Fall selection of I5 superlarives, and the election of Lynn Kepley and Larry Griffith as class mascots. A number of seniors struggled through scholarship competition in an effort to get a free college education. Spring term was hectic for the seniors, as events began to pile up when the school year neared an end. The senior trip to Washington, D. C., and New York City, the annual senior play, the junior-Senior prom, last-minute parties and last-minute cramming for exams fin order for some to graduatej made time pass so fast that before almost any senior realized it, the Chairman of the school board was handing him a diploma and he had become the newest alumni of Lexington High School.

Suspeeting draft evasion attempts, teachers passed him anyway. 21, BILL SWING AND PATSY CRAVER, super big wheels, were named: Swing-most popular, most outstanding, best personality, best-all-around, best disposition, most dependableg Craver-most outstanding, best-all-around, most versatile, and best sport.

Lewis, probably was the hardest-working single group in the school during1951-52. Many projects were inaugurated to finance the annual junior-Senior banquet. This included running the concession stand at football games, selling Christmas cards, and soliciting magazine subscriptions. Money slowly came in all year and the banquet, followed by a prom, made all the door-knocking and peanut-hawking worth- while. Second rnost outstanding event in the juniors' year was the arrival of the class rings, making each member of the Class of '53 know that it wouldn't be long before he was a bona fide' senior.

WISE FOOLS Biggest Fall event in which the sophomore class participated was the election of class officers, which copped for Miss Oldham's tenth grade home room the Mbiggest politicians title. Three of the four victors came from that end of the hall. Sponsors of the sophs were Miss jean Brooks and Mr. Luther Taylor. Vkith the newness of being high school students worn off, the Class of '54 entered whole-heartedly into extracurricular activities. Not a single phase of L.H.S. life was left unturned, and even blase seniors occasionally had to take a back seat to the energetic wise fools of the sophomore class. Tenth graders were particularly adept at public speaking and took several honors in contests. Nine students won short story prizes and Heavy Burkhart set 21 new record for writing a I 3-sentence story.

STUDENT GGVERNMENT Lexington High School's student government concerned itself this year with minimizing the problems ofthe average student. The Student Council, governing body of the school, is composed of the executive oH'icers of the student body, headed by President Bill Swing, the various room representatives, junior and Senior class presidents, and members of the stage crew. The Council, elected by popular vote, is formed after a spirited political campaign in the Spring of each school year. The 1951-52 Council counted the building and installing of coat racks in all class rooms, the con- struction of outdoor basketball goals, the sponsoring of an intramural basketball tournament, and the supervision and promotion of the Homecoming Parade as its biggest projects. The effectiveness of the student government was evidenced each Thursday morning at assembly when student president Swing presided over each session and teachers took a back seat. Under capable leadership, the Council probably enjoyed its most successful year to date. STOREKFEPERS OF STUDICNT COUNCIL STORE rarely ever have time to pause as above, but usually are busily dispensing countless candy bars and packs of Fat Boyv notebook paper. Thfy are, left to right: Dermie Lohr and Carol Harvey, assistant storekeepers, Don Haynes and Emma Bruton, storekeepers. 43 NATIONAL HONCJR SOCIETY lfVith its traditionally beautiful candle-light ceremony as background, the National Honor Society inducted seven C75 new members during the lfall semester. 'lo those persons tapped on that November assembly morning came the highest honor that can be accorded a Lexington High School stuglent. ln recognition for outstanding scholastic achievement, their Honor Society pins let other stuglenrs know who Hthe brains ol' l,.H.S. were. Monthly meetings of the Honor Society were held at various memberls homes. Projects for the year included the building of' enclosed cabinet for seniors robes, presentation of a monthly attendance banner, providing Christmas gifts for an orphan, the sponsoring of a square dance, and presentation of a medal at the end of each school year to the person having the highest scholastic average for the year.

VW SENIOR CLASS POE SYMPHONY Our song begins on gay, light notesg A new world is its theme. Activity-filled tempo o'er us floatsg Arias of future bright days around us stream. The music steadied to a slower beat As tones of seriousness are blending, Measures filled with study and learning are fleet, And with lilting bars of gaiety the passage is complete As another phrase is ending. The pace set now is more sedate, Graceful, with an assured air, On problems of importance powerful chords debate, Finally harmonizing in accord with fate, Preparing their mighty crescendo to declare. A crash of melodious tunes descend As the industrious instruments of the Great Composer Then, gathering strength to old conflicting themes, you notes ascend, Swelling with proud splendor the symphony's maiestic But, even though the concert's oler, the melody echoes, 76 M moan, na end! on and on. Kiiuesiax' SINK Class Poet CLASS HISTCRY As we, the present Senior Class, entered Lexington High School as eighth graders, a new episoue in our lives began. The changes in our school life were greater than any we had ever experienced before. Instead of havin all of our classes under one teacher in the same room, we now had six classes a day, all under different teachers in diflirent rooms. This immediately found favor with us, as it added variety to our school life. VVe all felt selflconcious and awkward, but forth- with we began trying to adjust ourselves to this new life. The school store, also new to us, assemblies with the rest of the high school, along with athletic activities which we attended, added greatly to the perception that we were becoming a part of Lexington High School. The school year came to a close, and our heads were still buzzing from the numerous changes, but we felt as if this first year in high school had been one of the happiest and most successful experiences that we had ever had. VVC started our freshman year with a feeling of dignity equalled only by that of the Seniors of that year. To further advance this grand sensibility, many of our class joined the F.H.A., and the Latin Club, and several of our class began displaying their prowess in athletics. For the first time we had the honor of choosing officers, and we certainly couldn't have selected a finer group to serve us. These first officers were: Dunlop Wvhite, president, jack Binns, vice-president, Marie Stokes, secretary, janice johnson, treasurer. By the end of the school term, the fact that we were now full- fledged not-to-be denied, high school students was predominate in our minds. Consequently, it was with joy, that we left Lexing- ton High School in the spring of our Freshman year. Starting our Sophomore year was easier than the first two years had been. VW had now become fully accustomed to the ways of high school, and we felt now, more than ever, that we were a part of this school and that we belonged to it. Members of our class immediately began claiming honors, several of our girls became cheerleaders, and some of our boys had gained starting berths on the football squad. Solne were selected for membership in the newly formed Key Club. The honor of serving as waitresses at the annual junior-Senior banquet was bestowed upon a number of our girls. Although still called underclassmen, we, at the end ofour Sophomore year, felt bigger than upperelassmen, for the veil of constraint had been lifted during the past year, With the anticipation ofmaking our junior year even more successful than our previous ones had been, we withdrew hir the summer. Our junior year started off with a bang. The football squad started the season earlier than usual, and this meant that we would begin selling at the ball park concession stand to raise money for the junior-Senior banquet before we could get fully organized, but with the eo-operation of our class with our two wonderful sponsors, Mrs. Fred B. Lewis and Mr. Theodore Leonard, we managed it perfectly. ln view of the fact that this was to be one of our best years, second only to our Senior year, we chose as our class ofIsicers:Terry Cooper, president, Bill Swing, vice-presidentg Ruth Alice Woodlief secretaryg and Alice Deese, treasurer. VW not only worked at the concession stand, but we also sold Christmas cards in an added effort to raise money for the junior-Senior banquet. VVe now had the privilege of becoming members ofthe high school's two fine staffs, Thr Lexhipfp and il-HIC I.icxir:oN. The days of waiting Hur our class rings were drudgery, but when they arrived we realized that they were well worth waiting for. Another event which made us proud was that of the junior class play. Vie Shook the Family Tree proved to be one of the most delightful and most entertaining plays ever presented by a junior Class here at Lexington High School. These were not all the honors our class achieved during the year. Three boys and six girls gave our class ample representation as junior Class Marshals. One of our boys and two ofour girls were selected to represeat our class at Boys' and Girls, State. Knowing that we had accomplished more during our junior year than in any previous year, we left with proud but anxious hearts, awaiting the Big Year. Sooner than we would ever have dreamed possible our Senior Year rolled around. We felt somewhat differently from previous years in the fact that it seemed as if we were being looked up to instead of our looking up to others. Our class was so very pleased to have join them a fine new group of students from the junior Order Home who, for the Hrst year, were coming to Lexington High School. This versatile, talented group certainly have added much to our school life and have made things more pleasant. We knew that we should have only the very best of officers to guide us through our Hnal year, and, for this reason, we elected jerry Perkins, president, along with Conrad Stamey, vice-president, Betty Hunt, secretary, and Alice Deese, treasurer. We were especially proud of our football team and its fine record, which included the co-chainpionship of the South Piedmont Conference. This was one of the better, or possible the best, teams since our class entered high school. To climax a successful season, one of our team was selected to play in the Shrine Bowl Classic. VVe all began thinking seriously about what wc were going to do after our graduation. VVherc would we go to college, and if we went, what did we intend to study for? As the year went on, we found ourselves confronted with such important questions as these. As usual the year was climaxed by the big Senior Class play, and the junior-Senior banquet given in our honor by the gracious junior Class. liven if we had space and time enough to tell of all the grand times we had during our Senior Year, it would practically be impossible, for we had fun galore and adventures unlimited. VVe finish to begin. Yes, itls true, we finish our high school career only to begin life anew. Some of us will go on to a higher education to prepare to take our places in life's pattern. Others will immediately go out into life, each into one ofthe various occupations. All of us, no matter what we decide to do after graduation, will begin moulding ourselves into tomorrow's citizens and taking our places in life as leaders. No matter what we decide to do after graduation, we shall surely succeed if we keep in mind the teaching and the counsel given us by the teachers here at Lexington High School, it is to them that we are grateful. It is with the feeling that our years spent here have been profitable that we, guided by Providence's hand, seek out our own particular tasks in life.

' CARMELITA EVERHART Class Testator Witnesset: President, jerry Perkins Adviser, Mrs. Ottis M. Hedrick Principal, Mr. C. E. Wike 73 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One-two-three-four-kick. I chanted, above the roar ofthe waves, L'This surely does get monotonous! You-hoo! Rufus! Up here! called somebody out of nowhere. Looking up, I was scared half out ofmy wits by a huge dragon-Hy, spitting Haines. just as I was about to submerge, I recognized the leering grins ofmy old pals, Alice Deese and Don Lanning. What on earth are you doing? I queried, loudly. I was just about to ask you the same thing, she yelled, I'm a foreign news correspondent, and Donls my official ilot. P After tossing the conversational ball back and forth a few times, I asked, f'What ever happened to the 1952 class at old L.H.S.? You ought to know, since you're in the newspaper business. I soon learned a lot about everybody, I learned-what I missed by marrying that cute Frenchman right after graduation. I might have known he'd be in the Foreign Legion. She told me that several of our classmates had attained their alnbitions. For instance, Barbara Glenn, jo Ree Tysinger, Betty jean Everhart, Wanda Everhart, Louise Clemmer, and Sara Thomason are in the chorus of that new musical hit on Broadway, The Sun is Red, by VVilliam Saunders and Caroline Morris Tysinger. The director is Buster Brown. The featured dancers in this show are Barbara Higgins and janice johnson. Also working in New York City are Doris Smith, Lib McDowell, Charlotte Fritts, Peggie Hedrick, and Carrie Stophel, who are Rockettes at Radio City. Show business is not the only profession favored by the alumni of L.H.S. Nancy Scchrist, Molly Evans, joyce Glenn, Shirley Anne Mozingo, and Frankie jane Ollis are models for Conover and Powers Modeling Agencies. Ginger Hart and Conrad Stamey are psychiatrists, Ginger is doing very well treating millionaries' dogs, but Conrad is having a little trouble getting clients. Since Marie Stokes has been Mayor of New York City, everybody has been so well-adjusted and calm. While visiting the circus at Madison Square Gardens recently, we saw several old friends. The first person to come into our view was the far lady, none other than Kirksey Sink. Inside audiences were sitting spellbound by the antics of ml hat Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapezeef' Boddy Penland, and the tight rope walker, Loretta Lanning. Guest of honor at the circus that day was Terry Cooper, international scouting director. Hilda Frazier and Bruce Mize meet a lot of interesting people in their respective jobs of har-check girl at the Stork Club, and doorlnan at the Waldorf-Astoria, for example, that friend of the Pennsylvania coal miners, Marshall Guest, who took john L. Lewisls place after he was assassinated last year. That was the case that won so much fame for that great criminal lawyer, jerry Perkins. Attorney Perkins finally won after appealing to the Supreme Court. fBilly joe Athay was the defendant, he ran him down with his new jet planej Some of those who have offices in that streamlined skyscraper, designed by Nancy Cecil for john D. Rockefeller, are jean Story, who designs clothes for extra tall gals, and Donnie Peacock, who models them, also in this building are the ofHces ofSe'uentee11, popular magazine, which jean Temple is the editor. Dunlop White has his bookmaking establish- ment in the basement, and the oflice of Frank Costellols private accountant, Philip Hendricks, is located there. Carmelita Everhart, private secretary to the president of CBS, also works there. The west coast was by no means neglected by the Class of'52. Hollywood is the place Charles Brandon, Becky Lindsay and Marv Ann Osborne call home. Becky is currently starring in the sequel to Gone With The Wind, Reconstruc- tion at Taragl' while Charles has recently been chosen the greatest lover since the days of Rudolph Valentino. Mary Ann, you will probably recall, won the L'Homer last year for her outstanding performance in A'The Cow jumped Over The Moon. Guy Nave is the talent scout for M.G.IVl. The band currently playing at the Mocambo is that of our old friend, Frankie McCulloch, with Betty Bumgarner and Carroll McDade as vocalists. Back home in Lexington, Coble's has a new manager, Edgar Wilkerson. Edgar worked his way from carrying milking machines to running this million-dollar business. Other '1Horace Greelys are Charles Auman and Sam Berrier, who have made a fortune in scrap iron, Tommy Parker, who has risen from an usher to president of the Carolina Theater chain, and Billy joe Koonts, who has risen from a paper boy to publisher of the Dixpalch. One can hardly turn on feelavision-which, incidently, was invented by those famous men of science, john Young and Henry Sink-without running into those basketball playing Redheads Cour old friend, Mary Alice Peninger, is their star forwardj, R. L. Fritts, who has replaced Arthur Godfrey on his talent scout show, Carey Myers, that famous actor, jerry Carlton, wrestler, Bruce Hayes, heavy weight champion of the world, jean Biesecker, secretary to Ken Murray, and Richard Whisnant, the new Yankee Clipper during the World Series. You might even see Nick Kearns and Raymond Robinson, since they are, if youlll pardon the expression, Hades Drivers. We were very surprised to note that Hayden Hooper and Don Kimrey were managing the Miss America Contest. Barbara Smith, who has been Miss America, Miss Western Hemispher, and Miss World, is now competing for the title of Miss Universe. Nona Swaim and Patsy Craver-together, as usual-are stars of a professional baseball club in Nevada. Gary Ever- hart is their manager and coach. james Goins often is the f'Sportscaster'l for their games in the swank new stadium designed by Doris Mull. Don and Alice told me about going down to Vassar to visit its president, Hoyle Wagner. and some ofthe other members of the faculty. Philip Sexton is teaching English there, Edmond Brown, sociology. jean Stafford has just graduated with her M.R.S. degree at Vassar. Down at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, jimmy Ferrell and Mack Graham are perfecting their new invention, with power generated by the element 'X' which was discovered by Betty I-Iunt, a prominent lawyer's wife, who discovered the element in her petunia plot in Lexington. fShe was begining to wonder why the petunias were growling at her when she watered themlj Bill Swing and jake Kepley visited the U. S. Patent office the other day to confer with the chief patent officer, Rex Doby, about their cure for blushing. Sue Everhart is doing well as a social worker in the N. C. mountains near Mr. Clarkls home, Sue Neal Smith flies her from case to case in her brand-new fiving saucer. Ferne Huffman and Yvonne Everhart found time, while rearing a football team and a basketball team, respectively, to perfect a cure for the common cold. Their guinea-pig was Tom Helmstetler, who took Iverls place when he retired. There you arc, we sure did go to school with some most unusual people! finished Alice. 'fDidn't we thoughll' cracked Don, raising his right eyebrow in her direction. 'LThat's where we came in, said Alice, let's get back to work. So with a splutter and a elatter, the jet-powered helicopter sped away, leaving me amid the noise of thousands of spec- RUTH ALICE WOODLIEF Clan' Prophet 79 tators, cheering the first woman to swim the English Channel-lengthwise! f 57 ,141 M Cp L?
