' ' r JOHN D. COX For nine months of the year our principal, Mr. Cox. arranges and rearranges class schedules, plans for assemblies to interest and inform us. helps sponsor the Student Council. writes class permits. and accepts excuses. Mr. Cox's position requires patience, experience, and an interest in the stu- dents. He ably meets all of these qualifications. His college years were full and prosperous. Along with chemistry, dramatics, and other subjects, he found time to play basketball, golf, and tennis. Today golf. bowling, and photography are his hobbies. He received his A. B. degree from Doane College and his Master's from the University of Nebraska. We, the students of Lexington High School, are proud of this tall, soft-spoken man. He greets the frightened freshmen and tries to ease the new- ness of high school. He watches them develop into self-assured seniors. L
