Dedication

To one who started his teaching career at Lexington High School the same year we, the seniors of 1957-1958, entered; to one who holds the interest of many young students in the aspect of science and mathematics: to one whose winning smile and pleasing personality have made him well liked by student and teacher alike, we, the sen- iors of 1957 - 1958, are proud to dedicate the Crystal to one who will be long remembered by all of us.

ANDREW W. LINDSAY

Foreword

The Staff of the 1957-1958 CRYSTAL has tried to emphasize school life and school activities more than ever before. We feel that in past years, not enough attention has been given to the scenes around us, those incidents which have become familiar to most of us and, there- fore, unnoticed.

The Staff has enjoyed its work and hopes that you, the students, will approve the fruits of our labor.

SENIOR HISTORY

It was all the way back in 1953 when we first entered the halls of Lexington Hi^ School. As had many groups of eighth graders before us, we anticipated making many new friends, renewing friendships of grammar school, and having new activities and new teachers. We started our first year at L.H.S. by electing Sonny Slusser as class president, and Judy Donald as vice-president. John Starling was chosen secretary -treasurer and Gilly Gillespie was appointed as Honor Court representative.

Having finished the ei^th grade, we were eagerly looking forward to the time when we would be full-fledged high school students.

This year when the time for class elections came around, we chose Kitty Paxton as president, and Charlie Brown as vice-president. Sonny Slusser became secretary-treasurer, and John Starling represented us on the Honor Court.

As ninth graders, we were privileged to have one elective along with our required courses. Also, we were able to join more clubs, thus making our activities more varied. From the first year Latin class we sent Mack Brownlee, Mary Brush, Alice Neale Moger, Kitty Paxton, and Judy Roberts to the Latin Tourn- ament where Alice Neale and Mack tied for first place in the district.

By 1955 we were Sophomores and were anxiously awaiting the time when we could call ourselves by that glorious name --seniors. This time our class leaders were John Starling, president: Charlie Brown, vice-president; Sally Drake, secretary -treasurer; and Mack Brownlee, Honor Court representative. That was the year when our teams walked away with three district championships.

At last we began to feel almost as equals with the seniors, for as juniors, we were just one step away from that exalted position. We immediately set to work planning dances and bake sales to make money to treat the seniors at the Junior -Senior Banquet in May. To lead us toward this goal, we chose Sonny Slusser as junior class president; and Charlie Brown, vice-president. Jane Coleman became secretary- treasurer, and Mack Brownlee and Peggy Whitmore were elected to the Honor Court.

Although our class was considerably smaller this year, we were still a powerful group, and along with the seniors we sponsored the Christmas dance and the Twirp Week square dance. We also held a success- ful bake sale. Again Alice Neale went to the Latin Tournament, and this time she became the first place winner in the state.

Two other important events of our junior year were the receiving of our class rings and the Junior- Senior Banquet and prom at the Natural Bridge Hotel.

Summer passed quickly enough, and at last September, 1957, arrived. Having become seniors, at our first assembly we were privileged to sit on the first three rows in front of the speaker and to take our place in the senior homeroom. At that time our greatest object was to get to Washington, so at our first class meeting, after we had elected Alice Neale Moger as our president, we enthusiastically began to plan ways to enlarge the treasury. Other leaders of the class were Brooke Mallory, vice-president; and Judy Donald, secretary -treasurer. Marilyn Fauber, Peggy Whitmore, and Brooke Mallory were sent to the Honor Court, and Mack Browlee was 1957-1958 Student Body president.

After much hard work such as writing senior theses, a government term paper, and making plans for the trip, we came to the end of our stay at L.H.S.

Graduation climaxed those five great years, and so we gathered our books and memories and those ever coveted diplomas and began to look forward to a rosy future in college or whatever way of life we might have chosen. We hope that the Class of '58 will long be remembered by the students and faculty. We will never forget you. ^

It seems that when you are finally in the "swing of it all" it sud- denly ends and you are left to face the world on your own. That is how it is with us, the graduating class of 1960. We entered these portals as timid as mice; today we are known as the most talkative class of L.H.S. Tomorrow, well, who knows ... we may well be future U.S. presidents ... or maybe janitors.

Consecutive doubles by Tommy Black and Tommy Howard and a single by Oscar Mabry produced two runs in the fifth inning and gave the Scarlet Hurricanes their second straight win. 3-1, over Wilson Memorial of Fishersville.

Don Steele started for the first time as Lexington won an easy 11-2 victory over Robert E. Lee at Staunton.

Lexington returned home to take their first defeat, a 21-3 shellacing by Waynesboro.

Wilson avenged their earlier setback by a 4-3 victory at Fishersville.

Oscar Mabry collected a triple and a double against Clifton Forge and then pitched a one hitter against Staunton as the team got on the winning trail again.

Five runs in the second inning were not enough as Lexington dropped a 6-5 decision to the Fighting Blues at Buena Vista. Tommy Black's three run triple headlined the big inning for the Hurricanes.

Bill Lackey drove in 3 runs with a pair of doubles to lead in an 8-5 triumph over Buchanan.

Lexington dropped its next two games 10-8 to Waynesboro and 7-3 to Natural Bridge. Lexington lead Natural Bridge until a five run, fourth inning enabled the Rockets to pull the game out of the fire.

Basketball

Although the season is not yet over at the time this article is written, it is apparent that Lexington is on it's way to another winning season and also a berth in the District Tourney starting February 28. So far the Scarlet Hurricane five has compiled an 8-4 record to stand in fourth place in the District race.

Completing their basketball eligibility this season are Ronnie Whitmore, Mack Brownlee, and Leon Hartless, the District's leading scorer with a 23.3 average.

1957 was another good year for Lexington High in football. The Scarlet Hurricanes proved once again that one of the smallest schools can be among the rest by compiling a 7-1 record.

Lexington opened the season by shellacing Natural Bridge 45-7. Jimmy Chittum 's 75 yard run erased the Roc- ket's only lead late in the first quarter and from then on Lexington was in complete command as they killed any Natural Bridge hopes for another undefeated season.

Lexington came back the next week to gain an easy 47-6 victory over Central. It was the Hurricanes all the way as Reid Swisher scored three touchdowns and Jimmy Chittum two.

Staunton gave the Hurricanes their first real threat of the season, but they dropped a 26-14 decision in Lex- ington's Homecoming Game. Tommy Black took the opening kickoff 75 yards for the first score as Lexington built up a 13-0 first quarter lead. Staunton came back to score twice and give them a 14-13 lead in the third quarter. The Leemen appeared on their way to an upset victory until Charlie Brown took a lateral from Reid Swisher and went 45 yards to score. Reid Swisher's six yard run wrapped up the game in the fourth quarter.

The "Big" Red won their next two games easily 27-0 over Wilson Memorial and 39-13 over Buchanan.

Then came the only loss of the season, 20-13, to Waynesboro in the "Flu Bowl". The Little Giants struck early for two touch- downs to lead 14-0, but Lexington came back with a 95 yard kick- off return by Hartless to put Lexington back in the game. After the half Waynesboro scored again to go ahead 20-7. Lexington came back again in the third quarter with a sustained drive, mak- ing the final score 20-13, a hard-fought loss for the Hurricane.

Lexington was idle the next week because of the flu but went to Buena Vista the following week in full strength. The Scarlet Hurricane overwhelmed the traditional rival, Buena Vista, 32-7, in the best played game of the season. Backs, Hartless, Swisher,

Brown, and Chittum carried the pigskin for good yardage through- out the game and the linemen held the Blues for a single tally proving that the bigger they are the harder they fall!

The team closed out the season with a 41-13 victory over Clifton Forge. Reid Swisher and Jimmy Chittum were the out- standing yard gainers of the night.

Twelve seniors played their last game for the Hurricanes, in- cluding quarterback Leon Hartless and Jimmy Chittum, who made Ithe all-district team. Others who played their last game were Richard Nuckols, Charley Brown, Tommy Howard, Marvin Hostetter, Sonny Slusser, Ronnie Whitmore, Mac Brownlee, Joe Higgins, Ronnie Edwards, and Derby Huger.

Track- 1 957

For the second straight year Lexington participated in the District Track meet on April 27. Jimmy Chittum lead the Hurricanes by winning the 100 and 220 yard dashes and the broad jump. The 880 relay team composed of Dave Huffman, Bill Lackey, Don Steele, and Chittum won an easy victory. The fifth first place of the day was picked up by Mack Brownlee in the mile. Dave Huffman finished second in three events, the 100, 220, and broad jump. Other second places were won by Reid Swisher, Ronnie Ayers, and Mack Brownlee.

Don Steele picked up third place in the 100 yard dash and Morgan Tardy, Clyde Hartless, Tommy Black, and Bill Lackey won fourth places.

Lexington's total of 50 points gave them second place in the meet.

All first and second place winners qualified for the State Meet.

At the state meet held in Charlottesville in May 11, the 880 relay team broke the state record in their event but finished second.

Jimmy Chittum picked up fourth places in the 100 yard dash and broad jump and Mack Brownlee placed fourth in the mile to give the squad a total of six points.

The Boys' Monogram Club is made up of the boys who have won their letters through athletic participation in any of the three major sports.

The boys have this year selected several projects. Through the concessions at basketball games they have made enough money to buy their own monograms and gold minatures for the seniors. They have also decided to frame all athletic team pictures and to get a showcase in which to place the trophies. A scrapbook has been started for write-ups of athletic events.

Mr. Brewbaker is the advisor to this hard-working group.

Cheerleaders

Lynne Barrett Becky Black Betty Ann Crist Lula Mae Crist

Gail Deaver Funky Dod Nancy Mabry Frances Mallory

The cheerleaders for 1957-58 were elected by the student body after they had participated in try outs during an assembly.

Lynne Barrett was appointed head cheerleader by the principal.

Since no girls at L.H.S. besides the cheerleaders are presented letters, the Girls' Monogram Club was abolished.

This energetic group of girls held two money making projects.

They sold Lexington High pennants and later sold red and white pins for basketball season.

The cheerleaders wish to thank the Pep Squad for its support, Miss Eleanor Tardy for her supervision and aid, the teams for their victories, and the student body for their good attendance at the many games.

The chief requirement for member- ship is an A or B average on the first semester, or the entire year, in either physics or chemistry. Most members take four years of science and 3 or 4 years of math before they graduate.

The Chemistry Club, organized in 1949, is affiliated with the Science Clubs of America and the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. Members take part in some of the activities of these groups and encourage interest in science in our school in various ways. They also keep a scrapbook in which they keep up with the former members of the club.

We know that the members of the Chemistry Club will succeeo in anything that they try, but here's luck to them anyway.

The French Club meets once a month with the students planning and conducting the meetings. The programs consist of talks given by outside visitors and activities by club members. They deal with French history and culture.

Students in the club were given the opportunity to correspond with a French-speaking student and to take a French newspaper. Letters from pen-pals have given interesting information on the educational system and activities of young people in France, Morocco, and Bel- gium.

The Lexington Chapter of Future Homemakers of America organized in October with 22 members who planned an interesting program of work for the year. In addition to the monthly programs, a number of other activities were planned. In November the club members entertained their parents, teachers, and friends at an Open House during American Education Week. They also served a banquet to the Kiwanis Club as a community service as well as a money making activity.

The club sponsored and participated in a panel on "Improving Understanding between Parents, Daughters, and Sons," which they presented to a school assembly. Also, they entertained their mothers with a Mother -Daughter Banquet at which time degrees of achievement were awarded to deserving members.

The club members planned and carried out a field trip to several stores to learn tips on wise buying, invited a home economist to speak on careers in economics.

During the Christmas season they devoted a program to work on Christmas suggestions that could be used in the home and make favors for the hospital for the patients' trays.

During National FHA Week the club members assisted with im- proving the homemaking department.

The club distributed Civil Defense booklets and planned an exhibit for the school showing a seven day supply of foods for an emergency for a family of four.

The club members entertained their teachers with a dinner and a program on people and customs of foreign lands.

One of the most impressive programs of the year was the emblem service and the installation of officers.

So ends another exciting year in the Latin Club! At the beginning of the year the club decided to make a study of Roman life and cus- toms. The club divided into special groups to make reports on the various aspects of the Roman civiliaztion. Special programs were given at Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas, each program appropriate to the season. The students rewrote advertisements, made Christmas cards, Valentines, and Mother Goose rhymes in Latin. A special art committee helped to brighten the various programs with beautifully drawn illustrations. Mrs. Law assisted the Latin Club with all its projects.
