' 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.

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.
