Eleven years of a lifetime, only two more to go, but we must wait for we're... a Wincing at the thought of catching fleas from this canine is David Nacht.

The students of the class entered their sophomore year with many anxieties; but as the days passed, these anxieties were replaced by new friends and warm experiences. The year was a success for sophomores because of its many happenings, the first of which was the elections. Most students had not experienced such a strong class spirit before. It started with posters on the walls of all buildings and but- tons on students’ clothing which pub- licized their favorite candidate. Speeches were made and ballots cast. The results were in: Jon Fanburg for president, Bitsy Hadley for vice- president, Janet Dickerman for trea- surer, and Amy Dockser for secre- tary, along with many others for student house and class council. These enthusiastic officers were re- sponsible for organizing the various activities of the year. Fundraisers and dances were successful; and before the year ended, the class managed to build up a large bank account. Every- one worked hard in sponsoring these events and all who participated en- joyed themselves, making the year a great success for the newly arrived sophomores. Second in Line 11

In a typical day at Lexington High friends play a major role. As the day begins, usually before the first bell, most kids have congregated with their group in a special area they call their own, some in the main quad, seated on benches or huddling in small cir- cles, others outside of various house cafeterias. As the bell sounds stri- dently, the group scatters and scur- ries to their next classes. Throughout the day, friends see each other often. During the five-minute passing time they cluster in halls blocking doors, lockers, and traffic. In an occasional free block friends may go down town to eat lunch or may spend time in the library pretending to work or simply sun themselves in the Senior Quad. Lunch, a hurried affair, is spent gos- siping about yesterday’s happenings or discussing a test or homework due next block. Finally the clock reads 2:25. School ends and people run to lockers, catch a bus, attend a club meeting, go to sports practice, or just hang around in the Center. Friends, even if they don’t have many classes together, manage quite well to see each other throughout the day. Lunching in the Senior Quad is enjoyed by Ronald Fink, Sue McDewall, Emily Luterman, Kirsten Park and friends. Katani Eaton and Lisa Lichtenstein smiling prettily for the camera.
