Lexington High School - Lexicon Yearbook (Lexington, NC)

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

' ' ' A 'Gif ,,r DICATHON MR. 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
