THE CLASS Oi 1969 Although your class came to us in the second year of our occupancy of the new buildings and the use of the unit organization, there are many important firsts that you have seen in your four years at Lexington High School. You were the first class to be scheduled by computer, and the first to receive report cards prepared by the data processing center. In your freshman year, 1965-1966, Units H and J were first opened. The seniors in Units G and H that year shared the building with 300 Lilliputian 8th graders in Unit J, and with a growing horde of time-shared computer bugs who managed somehow to live in Room 8. In that year, Lexington youth made their appearance on national tele- vision from what many of us felt was a very narrow and distorted viewpoint. Your performances in athletics, dramatics, music, math com- petition, student government, and in a growing variety of student government, and in a growing variety to student activities and services have successfully refuted the false emphasis of that documentary. During your four years at Lexington High School you have seen much curriculum development, including the addition of new courses, and the increased opportunities for participation in independent study and small group seminars. Extra curricular activities and athletics have expanded in response to increased interest. Your class has played a major role in reshaping our Student Government Organization and has displayed leader- ship in fostering student responsibility. Classes to follow will have many innovations and precedents for which to thank the Class of 1969. For these and many other contributions and triumphs, you will be remembered, honored, and sorely missed by faculty and underclassmen. Best wishes to each of you for an interesting and fulfilling future. Charles C. Johnson Principal 70
