THE 1946

Paul Williams

Editor-in-Chief

Memories of 1945-'46—a cross section of our school life here at Lexington High

School is the aim of this book. It is divided into four sections—CLASSES.

ATHLETICS, ACTIVITIES, and FEATURES; and it is the desire of the staff

that as a student turns the pages, he may live again the year 1946, that imbetween

year in which there wasn't even a gradauting class.

To accomplish this, the staff has worked very hard this year under their capable

adviser, Mrs. L. A. Martin. The copy for this annual was drawn up by the editorial

ABOUT SCHOOL

VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUADThe Lexington High School Yellow Jackets had a very good team despite losing four games and

several players during the season.

The Jackets traveled to Salisbury and started the season off right by topping Boyden 21-0

in, perhaps, their best game of the season.

The Jackets then played at Holt-Moffit Field, and again were victorious in defeating Asheboro

14-6.

The boys left home for the second time to meet the Concord Spiders. Although they fought hard

all the way, the game ended 6-0 in favor of the Spiders.

The next week-end the Jackets again played at Holt-Moffit Field. Although they resisted stub-

bornly, they bowed to High Point, class A champions, 25-0.

Next, the Jackets left home and traveled to Barium Springs. The game ended in a 6-6 deadlock,

for the only tie of the season.

Managers

The next week found Lexington in the win column again with a 20-13 conference victory over

Mooresville.

Lexington then lost another 25-0 game to Reidsville, class B champions.

Homecoming '45 was a victorious one for L.H.S. The Jackets met their arch rivals, Thomas-

ville, and defeated them by a score of 9-0.

Lexington met Elkin for the first time and defeated the visitors 8-7 in their last home game.

The Jackets wound up the season at Bowman-Gray in Winston. They played Childrens Home,

conference champions, and lost 34-0.

A fine season is anticipated for next year because of the fact that all the members of the varsity

squad will return along with several boys who will come up from the Junior Squad.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM

For the first time since 1940, Lexington High School entered a girls' basketball team in the

South Piedmont Conference. Last year they were unable to play a regular season of South Pied-

mont Conference schedules due to a late beginning. The girls made a fine record and gave plenty

of competition to every team they played.

L. H. S. CHEER LEADERS

There were eight pair of knees knocking "Home Sweet Home 5' that September afternoon back

in '45 when L.H.S. had its first pep-meeting of the season. The new cheer leaders were quietly

having nervous break-downs, while the old cheer leaders were very much excited. On the stage

they tried hard to remember all that they had been taught before the pep-meeting, but all were conscious

of that great big audience watching them. After days of working hard, they improved with the faith-

ful help of Miss Furches, and the ole L.H.S. spirit began really to be heard. Hats off to a swell

octette of cheer leaders who not only proved that the school spirit was there, but brought it out as

well.
