On August 14. Japan surrendered. Thus the atomic era was ushered in. During the rejoicing and celebrating that took place then, another im- portant event went almost unnoticed. On August 13. the class of 1949en- tered Lexington High School. We were not at all sure what an atom was. When Mrs. Dodds toldus in Science class that an atom was a tiny particle of matter, we felt the definition applied to the members of our class. We certainly felt small and insignificant. During the four years we have been here, we have seen many changes and improvements. If a student who graduated in 1945 should comeback, he would find things much changed. He would see anew foot-ball stadium, which seats more than two thousand people, and a winning foot-ball team backed by a newly organized band with forty-five members. Over the past four years, our team has won thirty-one games and lost nine with only two of these lost on our home field. On Thanksgiving of this year . we played our first annual Rotary Bowl Came with Paris. Tennessee. The student of 1945 would also find a public address system which was given as a gift by the Senior Class of ‘47. If he looked on the east side of the school, he would see a huge building on which work is still in progress. This is our new gymnasium. Yes— this is indeed a new era of construction for Old L.H.S., even as the whole world is entering a new era in which atomic energy is the dominating force. Many years of research went into the development of the atomic energy. Some of the greatest discoveries leading to the final achievement of nuclear fission were made by accident, and others were the result of long and arduous effort. We, too. have worked long and hard. Good fortune has attended us. and at last the class of 1949 has reached the goal which we sought. It is. however, with a feeling of regret that we realize that, in winning our goal, we must bid good-bye to the place we passed so many happy hours — Lexington High School. 17 JUNIORS MRS.
