'7afa dz' 64 a pfeaeaze, tan, ta zememlezn To the LEXICON photographer, Johnnie Lee Wilson, Jr., this page is dedicated in loving memory. Many pages of this yearls annual contain the pictures and snapshots taken by Johnnie, and these will be an ever-present reminder of his interest, work, and enthusiasm in an activity that he loved. Although in reality Johnnie Wilson has left the ranks of the one hundred and ten Seniors of the Class of 1953, his zest for life, his politeness of manner, his geniality of spirit, and his quality of friendliness will long live in the hearts of his fellow classmates. Remembrance is the only Paradise out of which we cannot be driven. Johnnie, we'll remember.

Each of us students has walked across this threshold into this class. We may lose some of the details of the course, but never its impression. The personality that fits everywhere- the heart that understands everyone--the face that laughs at everything-makes possible this impression. We, of the staff of the 1953 LEXICON dedicate our work bound in this book to the guiding and helpful hand of Miss Charlotte Matthews.

ecw7a, M220 Year in, year out, our administrative of- ficers are always as a lighted candle to our progress. Mr. L. E. Andrews, city superin- tendent, is a versatile, friendly person ready to give of his time to those who wish to consult him. Ranking tops in sterling ex- ample is Mr. C. E. Wike., our principal. The hopes, ideas, plans, and work of these two men became a reality in early spring. The student parade from the old high school to the new represented not only a celebra- tion, but a realization of greater opportuni- ties and progress to the citizens of Lexington. These citizens have saluted the administra- tion for taking the lead in this transition. Now we students salute both the towns people and administration for their sight to the future, and say a sincere, Thank you. Education has reached a greater peak in Lexington under the skillful direction of Mr. L. E. Andrews, super- intendent of the city schools. Mr. C. E. Wike, principal, has done much toward making Lexington High School a highly-rated school. By his helpful, sympathetic attitude, he has won the popularity of both students and faculty. Right: Without the efficiency, patience, and consistency of Miss Hazel Frady, Mrs. G. B. Miller, and Mrs. Alene Frady, our secretaries, L.H.S. could not go on as it should. 6
