Building for democracy Marie Crosby and Sally Martin put democracy into practice. Education and democracy go hand in hand, for educated citizens are necessary in a country ruled by the will of the people. Lexington, home of the first normal school, has always been a leader in education, a fact apparent by her excellent school system. We, the students of Lexington High, are most fortunate to have such modern facilities with which to work. Our building is still very new, but improvements are already underway with work progressing on two new addi- tions. Coupled with these improvements is the constant progress in democratic training given to Lexington High pupils. Student gov- ernment, with class chairmen able to learn the skills of leadership at first hand, is a very direct way of enabling us to understand the civic duties and responsibilities which will be placed upon us in the near future. Thus, it can be seen that Lexington is leading in edu- cation by sensibly building for democracy. Expanding our facilities Modern architecture echoes modern ideas.
