NEW FRONTIER In 1960, the NEW FRONTIER entered Washington, and the class of 1964 entered L.S.H.S. During these past four years, the NEW FRONTIER has faced tragedy and triumph just as we in Lexington have. The Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban and Berlin crises, the limited but horrid war in Vietnam, the Thresher tragedy, and the malicious assassination of Presi- dent John F. Kennedy have been times of national anxiety during the past four years. Likewise, in Lexington there have been events and times we should like to forget.

Philpott, Lt. Governor of North Carolina, and the less important, but still disappointing jousting from No. 1 position in basketball, 1963, and foot- ball, 1963, made us realize that life has some sorrows and disappointments.
