LEXINGTON IAN Senior Class Poem As I sit within the classroom I often wonder why, The High School days of ’27 Are so swiftly passing by. We’ve been climbing up a ladder That never needs a prop, Though some of us have lagged behind, We’ve almost reached the top. Now we Seniors are almost ready To leave this school behind, And pursue some occupation And then our fortunes find. We must not forget the Juniors Who know the time is nigh When they will be the Seniors Of dear old New Lex High. There’s another thing we must remember, About our school, you know, Each one must do his very best To make its spirit grow. And now that we are leaving, We bid our school adieu, And hope the other classes Will wish us good luck too. MARY LOU NEWMAN. Twenty-nine

To achieve fame and honor was our determination, and our desires became realities with prominence in organizations and school activities—namely, the Periscope Staff and Athletic Advisory Committee. Along musical lines our contribution to the orchestra, glee club, music memory team, and county music contest were sufficient to assure our “superiors” that we were little more than “insignificant freshies.” At last the trials of our freshman year were o’er and everyone was anxiously looking forward to vacation time. “Superior Sophomores.” The green tinge had faded away and we no longer must bear that odious trade-mark. We have diminished in number to sixty-three, but our zeal has been greatly augmented. During this year we have laboriously struggled through Caesar, Geometry and other “snap” subjects, for we were ever striving to attain a high scholastic record. Again we contributed to the musical talent of N. L. H. S. Many from our midst have entered athletics, and are rapidly gaining a name for themselves in football, basketball and track. And now fifty-five ardent personages have registered as Juniors. Successfully having withstood all the hardships of a studious career, we again resumed our school labors. With great celerity our illustrious class rose to eminence chiefly in music, athletics, social events, and school enterprises. Entering society, the Junior girls gave the annual football banquet and dance which was a decided success. At last we are Seniors! Upon our entrance into N. L. H. S. in ’23 it seemed an intermin- Thirty
