Andrews, a beloved public servant and friend to the bene¬ ficiaries of his work in the City School Administration. His influence has touched every corner of our city in sturdy, well-organized school buildings, run with efficiency and love. MR. L. E. ANDREWS, Superintendent 1937 1965 These pictures follow some of Mr. Andrews’ years of his administration from 1937 to 1967.

There were new privileges and new responsibilities, and there were new people to look up to. But we could not look down to anyone, and we soon tired of being “punky Freshmen.” The Freshmen are gone. . . . We were Sophomores. Everything was familiar and routine. Most of all we felt we were an essential part of our school. We didn’t make many decisions or have the most class meetings, but without us the school just couldn’t func¬ tion. For of what use is a chairman if he has no committee to chair. . . . We were Juniors. At last we were upperclassmen. The cry of money soon fell upon our ears. Sell those Cokes, wrap those hot dogs, bag that popcorn. “We’re gonna have a better Junior- Senior than last year’s.” There were varsity sports and letters. There was that last effort to make the C honor roll, and there were tests—-“College, so soon?” The victories and defeats, the accomplishments and disappointments of our school were ours personally. We looked optimistically to the year ahead. . . . We were Seniors. We were heroes, the ruling class. One long year lay ahead—or would it be a short year? There were college pressures. College Boards, college applications, college ac¬ ceptances, and college rejections. Come and gone were the football game, the basketball game, and the track meet which we knew would be our last. We felt a new closeness to our teachers, our friends, and those we would not con¬ sider friends, simply because they were a part of our class, the greatest class. “Seniors! Seniors! Seniors!” The road was narrow and winding, and the ter¬ rain was rugged, but we were equal to the task. Look out world. . . . The world? Did someone say the world? We gaze ahead through our tears. Everything is new and different and big and a little scary . . . and it is only the beginning. classes 1966 Marshals The crowning glory for hours of devoted study comes to those nine who are selected, on the basis of their academic averages, as outstanding.

It is in these places that they are given a chance to lead, to create, to work, and to entertain. The student government allows many people their first oppor¬ tunity to lead their friends and fellow students, while the three literary staffs that Lexington Senior High boasts al¬ lows its students an opportunity to ex¬ press their talents. In organizations such as Distributive Education and In¬ dustrial Co-operative Training, many students are given their first oppor¬ tunity to test their success in the busi¬ ness world. Those students desiring to further their musical ability while in high school can do so by becoming mem¬ bers of either the band or the glee club. Both the band and the glee club repre¬ sent Lexington Senior High in many public affairs. Other representatives of L.S.H. are the students on the Debating team and in the American Field Ser¬ vice’s Americans abroad program. There are many organizations at Lexington Senior High; each offers something for all students. These organizations are the beginning of the preparation for later life. organizations Student Government rwm rnn tw WSH fff! I —!

A. . . . this is election time —L. S. H. S. style. At last it’s THE DAY. As butterflies have their way in the stomachs of anxious candidates, outlines for the per¬ fect student government take shape. In authentic poll booths the students make their choice. This is the girl whose plan we favored—Margaret Shoaf. Our president is the head of the active Student Coun¬ cil. This vibrant organization heads projects such as Career and College Night, school store, needy families, Student Center, elections, and Homecoming. The vice- president is the head of the House of Representatives; the parliamentarian takes charge of elections and is the consultant about laws of the Constitution. Somehow, the president finds time to make announcements, preside at assemblies, and appoint committees for everything from fire drills to clean-up. 109 Class Representatives First row: Susan Miller, Mike Pickett, Kathy Haynes, Sarah Cross.

But behind the smiles are concealed many silver memories. As one glides her fingers over the slick pages, her thoughts return to “that” night. Through her mind dance many little fairies scattering remembrances of her own gala evening. Perhaps one will recall the dress she wore, the hours she spent walking and developing her poise, the glare of the spotlight, or the sound of her name as she heard it announced. Another may smile to remember the awe on a little girl’s face as the child watched her in a parade or the pride that beamed from her father’s face as he saw his own little “princess” crowned a queen. The next may recall the anxious minutes while the judges sat in conference, and the ecstatic mo¬ ment when the crown was placed on her head and a bouquet of roses in her arms. It is our desire that this section will be placed among other tangible momen- tos, items such as a pressed corsage, a streamer of ribbon, or a shimmering crown—things that make a memory as sweet in years to come as it was “in the beginning.” Homecoming Queen MiH £t4.ya u4je ReynaldL Clubs began making floats weeks in advance . . .

Through clubs we meet new friends, develop new ideas, and broaden our outlook. Many clubs list specific requirements such as mu¬ sical or artistic ability, scholarship or leadership, but the requirement for all is a willingness to work. A club exists not only for the indi¬ vidual, but also for the school. This year our clubs experienced a rebirth. The rebirth was instigated by the Club Council, headed by Parliamentarian Andy Leonard. It was decided that every club should have a monthly proj¬ ect that would benefit the school. This plan has met with much success. New life appeared in each club. The mem¬ bers united to carry out the projects. Two new clubs have been born out of this school year, the American Field Service Club, and the Junior Jaycees. The Lexicon wishes all clubs prosperous future years, and salutes them for the progress they have made this year. clubs National Honor Society Scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the required qualifications of the National Honor Society. These are high ideals that every student in this club upholds. The National Honor Society is the oldest and most respected club in the school. Mem¬ bers are chosen in the spring and fall of each year. The club this year is sponsoring the High I. Q. Bowl in the school, which determines the representatives to the state Bowl.

Character, leadership, and achievement are the required qualifications of this club. This year the Beta Club’s projects have been co-sponsoring the High I. Q. Bowl and helping with Citizenship Week.

Members are chosen on basis of scholarship, character, cooperation, leadership, and service. Last year the club successfully presented the musical comedy “Bubble Trouble.” This year, spon¬ sored by Mr. E. L. Jones, it is presenting “So this is Paris,” a musical which mixes high comedy with romance. Six American girls with their chaperone, arrive in Paris and plunge into delightful and hilar¬ ious situations. The musical is just one of the ways the club promotes music in Lexington. 151 Future Nurses of America Lena Grimes, President; Gretchen Schaeffer, Vice-President; Martha Sink, Secretary; Pat Wofford, Treasurer. The purpose of the Future Nurses of America Club is to acquaint its members with the field of nursing and its related fields. It gives its members the chance to learn about their chosen profession. Latin Club Students who are taking Latin or have taken it before form this club. The club itself is set up like the Roman senate. This year the Latin Club put up a Christmas tree in the student center and bought a book for the library. 152 Sandra Benfield and Wayne Michael, consuls; Ken Richardson, quaestor; Sandra Eller, scribe. Spanish Club Suzanne Reynolds, President; Calvin Cunningham, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Donna Childers, Secretary-Treasurer. The Spanish Club, with Miss Joann Hill as sponsor, has accom¬ plished much this year. For its project, the club has helped keep our school grounds clean. The club spent a lot of time on its homecoming float which was one of the best. To help school spirit the Spanish Club bought tambou¬ rines for the cheerleaders. 153 Future Teachers of America Future Teachers of America is an important club in our school. Its aim is to teach members of both the oppor¬ tunities and the problems of a teach¬ ing career. The club, after a strong campaign to get members, has had many projects. They have given books to the library, and they have given the teachers a tea. Their most valuable project is giving a scholarship to an outstanding senior. Becky Ben-field, President; Lynn Dunn, Vice-President; Carol Ann Hackney, Secretary; Barbara Morgan, Treasurer. 154 Becky Mull, President; Lindsay Sink, Vice-President; Murphy Ever¬ hart, Secretary-Treasurer. Pep Club The Pep Club is the largest and one of the most vigorous clubs in the school. The purpose is to promote school spirit. This club has sold ribbons, decorated the gym and halls for pep ral¬ lies, made megaphones, and sponsored Parent-Player Night and Loyalty Night. Its main project for football season was the making of the canvas bee¬ hive. For basketball season, the club bought blankets for the team. 155 Monogram Club The purpose of the Monogram Club is to uphold the highest athletic standards, and to create a closer bond among sports-minded students. The club is very active. Some of its projects have been selling programs, taking care of the field house, and helping sponsor Parent-Player Night. The club also bought trash cans and a magnet board for the football team. Steve Raker, President; Stevie Lineberger, Vice-President; Craig Koontz, Secretary-Treasurer; Dickie Gibbs, Sergeant-at-Arms; Charles Duffey, Historian. 156 Future Homemakers Of America The Future Homemakers of America Club spends its time preparing its members for a career that most girls choose, that of a homemaker. Their projects have been keeping the clinic clean and giving Christmas presents to the orphanage. They have also attended the district rally and state convention of their club. Linda Weaver, President; Connie Wilson, Vice-President; Susan Everhart, Secretary; Debbie Michael, Treasurer; Mary Layton, Parliamentarian; Kathy Hill, Reporter; Carol Regan, Songleader. 157 Key Club W. R. Hinson, President; Carl Freeman, Vice-President; Creth Holman, Secretary-Treasurer; Joe Hooker, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Key Club in Lexington Senior High is part of a national organiza¬ tion sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. The aim of the club is to develop initiative and leadership, and to serve the school and community. The Key Club started the interest in keeping the school grounds clean through their hard work many times a week cleaning and trimming the shrubbery. The club also helps the police at Junior High with the chil¬ dren crossing the streets. Besides their many projects at school, the Key Club has many community proj¬ ects. This club is one of the most active ones in the school. 158 Junior Civitan Junior Civitan is sponsored by the Lexington Civitan Club. The club has com¬ munity projects as well as projects for the school. For one of their school projects, the club painted the ticket booths for the athletic department.

Nan Norris, President; Kendall Wright, Vice-President; Jill Everhart, Secretary; Amy Cecil, Treasurer; Advisor — Mrs. Mary Padgett. 160 American Field Service The American Field Service is the newest club in our school. Its purpose is to make students aware of the foreign exchange program. The club’s powder-puff football game was a great success. The money made from this game is to be used to buy paint. The club then will paint the bleachers in the stadium. The club has had many projects for cleaning up the school. An assembly program, given by foreign exchange stu¬ dents from this area, is also being planned. • L ' 2 v u Emily Ann Stephenson, President; Ellen DeLapp, Vice President; Jan Johnson, Secretary; Nan Norris, Trea surer. 4 ' The purpose of the Science Club is to encourage interest in the field of science.

Witherspoon, the club’s members come mainly from the Glee Club. Their projects this year have been an assembly in the fall, performance at the Lex¬ ington Candle Light Service, and participation in the Spring Festival. Virginia Metcalf, President; Judy McBride, Vice-President; Linda Koonts, Secretary; Cathy Leonard, Treasurer. 165 -M Larry Lomax Bus Drivers Jim Parker Rickey Tussey Jimmy Koonts Mr. Harold Bowen The bus drivers are a unique group of individuals who get out of school early and spend all afternoon carting kids home. But their life is not an easy one. No sleepy¬ heads are found in this group, because work begins early every school day. Whatever the weather, these public servants must be on time and running. We salute these too-often unappreciated members of our school. Leo Washburn Steve Carter 166 Doug Rowe, President; Johnny Allen, Vice-President; Robert Tysinger, Secretary; Guy Herring, Treasurer. Junior Jaycees The Junior Jaycees Club was formed this year. Sponsored by the Jaycees of Lexington, and advised by Mr. Pope, this service club has both community and school projects. For the school, the Junior Jaycees operates the concession stand at basketball games. 167 Perhaps the first word a student en¬ tering high school knows is “athletics.” This is certainly no exception at Lex¬ ington Senior High School where our teams have acquired a great respect from both conference and non-con¬ ference foes. From August fifteenth and the opening kick-off in football season till the closing moments of the final contests in spring, many boys are hard at work doing their best to repre¬ sent their school. Football, basketball, wrestling, track, tennis, golf, and base¬ ball have an important part in each student’s life at Senior High. The fol¬ lowing pages show the participants in our athletic program, to whom we owe our gratitude for their time, efforts, and spirit, which have helped to make our school what it is.

Expecting an easy victory, Lexington had little spirit. The first half the score favored the Jack¬ ets, but North came back in the second period and dominated play. The final gun found Lex¬ ington on the short end of a 27 to 13 score. 176 DAVID MOOSE STEVE RAKER Offensive Halfback Offensive Halfback All-Conference entral David son-Lexington Having been defeated the preceding week, the Jackets were out for blood against Central. Both the offensive and defensive units showed much enthusiasm and improvement. The ball was in Lexington’s possession most of the eve¬ ning, and the 39 to 0 score in the Jackets favor proved that Lexington’s young players were im¬ proving. LARRY SAMPLES Defensive Linebacker Albemarle - Lexington Albemarle brought to Lexington a small squad, and the home team completely controlled the game. Albemarle had previously beaten Lexing¬ ton in Philpott stadium for the past seven games. The jinx was broken as the Jackets rolled over the Bulldogs 41 to 6. The offensive unit played its finest game of the season. With non-conference action over, Lexington began to point for their next seven conference battles. DAVID HEDRICK Offensive Tackle JEFF GRIFFITH Offensive End LARRY JENKINS Fullback ANDY LEONARD Defensive Linebacker Salisbury - Lexington With three non-conference games under their belts, the rapidly improving Yellow Jackets went to Salisbury for their first conference battle. Lexington was outweighed, but the team came through with a 38-13 victory. It was Lexington’s best overall game to that point, and the Jackets began to plan for Reynolds. 179 LINDSAY SINK Offensive Tackle JIMMY STARR Defensive Tackle Honorable Mention All-Conference 180 WARD SMITH Offensive Guard WARREN TAYLOR Defensive Halfback GARY BROWN Offensive Tackle JIMMY BERRIER Offensive Guard BILL BARTON Defensive Tackle Reynolds-Lexington Having been soundly beaten by the Jackets in two previous years, the Demons came to Lexington ready to play. Bad breaks hurt Lexington early in the game, and the Jackets were shot down after three straight victories. Reynolds scored 28 points while holding Lex¬ ington to none. North Forsyth-Lexington Lexington played one of its best defensive games of the season, and this enabled the Jack¬ ets to sneak by North 13 to 7. Time and time again the defensive unit stopped the Viking’s attack. The victory gave the Jackets a 2 and 1 conference record. LAWSON BROWN Defensive Linebacker JOE CLARK Defensive Safety JIMMY HENDERSON Fullback 181 ALLEN JORDAN Halfback TRACY HILL Offensive Guard, JOHNNY KING Defensive End CRAIG KOONTS Quarterback STEVE LINEBERGER Offensive Halfback Burlington-Lexington Homecoming found the Jackets up against the largest op¬ ponents that they faced all year. The massive Burlington team was expected to defeat Lexington. The Jackets played their best game of the season, however, and the heavily favored Bur¬ lington team was able to leave town with only a 21 to 21 tie. They were lucky to have even that, because when the game ended, the Jackets were on the thirteen yard line with a first down. Lexington scored first, and the scrappy Jackets were never behind. EDGAR MURPHY Defensive Linebacker 182 tommy McWhorter Offensive Guard JIMMY SINK Offensive End Ji mft CRAIG STAFFORD Quarterback East Forsyth-Lexington The Jackets seemed to have an ability to spoil the home¬ comings of other teams. They defeated North Forsyth in the Vikings homecoming and then Lexington played a determined game to beat East Forsyth in theirs. Lexington’s offensive was very impressive as the Jackets scored nineteen points before the Eagles could scratch. East began to move in the second half and scored thirteen points on two long plays. The Jackets stout defense dug in and enabled Lexington to squeeze by with a 19 to 13 victory, however. JIM TICE Defensive End %y 41 DENNIS THOMASON Offensive Halfback | _ JIM WEAVER Offensive Tackle 183 Parkland - Lexington For the second year Parkland defeated the Jackets. The score of 21 to 0, however, is not a true picture of the game which Lexington played. Final statistics showed the teams well matched except for three costly fumbles by the Jackets. Lexington’s loss dropped the team to a 3-2-1 conference record and sixth place. High Point-Lexington Lexington’s final game in the Central 4-A made the Bison of High Point Cen¬ tral happy to see the season end. The Lexington defense played its greatest game, and High Point could manage to total only thirty-two yards rushing. The Bison defense chased the high flying Yellow Jackets all night and was extremely lucky to even escape alive. The score of 41 to 0 was Lexington’s largest margin of victory through the entire season. The mighty “Orange and Blue” finished in fourth place of the conference with a 4-2-1 record and 6-3-1 overall.

After subduing their first six opponents, the Jay Vees lost to East Forsyth by one point and the next week to Parkland. The “red shirts” are due much credit for their hard work and good record during the 1966 season, and their spirit should prove to be an asset to the 1967 varsity squad.

She has been a teacher, advisor, and mother to hundreds of students—graduated and presently enrolled in our school. Her good humor has made her loved and admired by all who have made her acquaintance. Though she leaves to gain new friends beyond our Alma Mater’s reach, she leaves behind the fondest memories for each of us that know and love her. MRS. CHARLOTTE MATTHEWS COCKERILL Finis We are sitting on our hillside, gazing to the west at the setting sun. Layers of orange, red, and pink coat the deepening sky. At times like these we too often forget the responsibilities facing us and look back at our past accomplishments. The 1967 Lexicon is our looking glass. We say our looking glass because we are so attached to it, but it is actually your looking glass. Without you this annual could not have been compiled. Its pages would have been blank; its heart, empty. But you were there, and you filled the pages and the heart with memories which are as indelible as time. This is the autobiography of a year, and you are the authors. You wrote of responsibility and of pride; you wrote of victory and of defeat; you wrote of happiness and of sorrow. They are all reprinted here. You wrote of friends, special friends, accomplishments, life, and death. These, also, are included. This is a year, dissected and labeled, with each part set aside for magnified study. It is our hope that, from this study, you will gain a deeper Insight into the people and the emotions which have made this year. If any thanks need be given, we would like to thank the God of man, Whoever and in whatever form He might be, Who created the first beginning, and Who has made possible all beginnings since. So come and sit on our hillside, and gaze to the west at the setting sun. The bril¬ liant colors are slowly deepening, and soon they will mix and blend into darkness. We blink our eyes to hold back the tears as we think of all that is past, never again to be reclaimed. But the night will be short, and the sun will rise tomorrow. May this beginning open a horizon even brighter and more satisfying than any you have ever known. To this hope we present the 1967 Lexicon. About the most uninteresting part of the ’67 Lexicon is the ad section. These pages contain neither pictures of friends nor exciting write-ups of Jacket vic¬ tories. The ads are not good for anything much. They certainly do not beautify the annual with all that “buy here” or “compliments of.” The advertisements actually spoil the whole yearbook. Then, why not get rid of ads? The reason is simply this: With no ads, there would be no finances. With no ads, there would be no colored pictures. With no ads, there would be no class or sports sec¬ tions. With no ads, the Lexicon would merely be an orange-covered paperback pamphlet instead of the invaluable keep¬ sake it is. So one can see how vital these ads are to our annual. For making our publication possible, the staff would like to thank all of Lexington’s business firms who gave so generously to the Lexicon. advertisem MITCHELL HARB AND SON TIRE SERVICE “Home of the Cement Spraying and Mixing Machine and W hite Sidewall ISarroiving Machine for Tires ” ' GUARANTEED RECAPPING, VULCANIZING AND TIRE GROOVING SUBURBANITE WINTER TREADS—ALL SIZES “Quality Hi Tensil Racing Rubber ' ’ and “Grade A lOOQi Cold Rubber Used” “Custom Tire Recapping ” “Every Tire Given Individual Attention” “SORRY, WE’RE BUSY” “TIRES CAPPED BY APPOINTMENT ONUY” Winston-Salem Highway Ph one CH 6-5292 Sidewall cleaned in preparation for rubber.
