PAOE TWO THE LEXHIPEP MAY 28, 192.i HISTORY LAST WILL PROPHECY A history? Yes, each class needs to have its history; and yet. t;me soon makes all history but a memory. Our so.iourn in Lexington High School is drawing nearer and nearer to an end. Sc come, dear classmates! let us turn back the pages for a few moments and review in our minds these short years which stretch behind us, and which someday will be our tenderest, sweetest memories. In September, 1921, the doors of the Robbins School were flung wide open, and several dozen green and in significant objects walked in, and took their seats in the Freshmen class. Thus was started the famou,; class of 1925. It was indeed a hard journey that year, but these bravo few, with tireless spirit, wrestled with their new enemies, Latin, Algebra, and Civics. To these let us attribute the brave determination which later inspired us to our present prosperity and triumph. To the upper classmen, we looked with aNve and inspiration, and firmly resolved in our hearts that we would try to be like them. The class was divided into tw'O sections; one led by Frances Thompson, and the other by Herbert Waters. As Sophomores, we found ourselves sadly lacking in wisdom (sophomores are usually termed thus). Neverthe less, we sustained our wise look, and pushed forward with a continued vigor. It was this year that the his toric exodus from the Robbins School was made. We came to a new beau tiful High School with such surround ings, exerting our efforts to the ut termost, we expanded our minds with knowledge. Dick Walser was presi dent of this class. The fall of 1923 brought confident and jolly Juniors to L. H. S. Our world was full those days; football games, fierce eraser fights, field day, and the Junior-Senior banouet, the mention of which is sufllcie.it. We were ambitious, however, pstrticular- ly waiting for a chance to bo Seniors. And trat chance came—soon; al most too soon for some of us. Our goal has been reached, and so we stand before you today, a class of fifty. This past year has held much for each of us. Receptions, parties. State of North Carolina, Davidson County, City of .Lexington—.Lexington High School; We, the class of ’25, having full possession of all our mental facilities realizing that the close of our sojourn In this our High School is drawing near, and being in possession of cer tain properties and effects which we desire to dispose of, have drawn up this article. We, the class of 25, do hereby ap prove and publish this, the tmal dis position of the ^said properties and effects; ITEM I To Mr. Cowles: Our love and devotion and eternal gratitude for his conducting our class safely through many long years. ITEM II To Miss Walker: A deep appreciation and -.asting af fection to her, who has been our guide and companion during our four High School years. ITEM III To Mr. Hunt: A perfect English class, where silence reigns and knowledge is his right hand man. ITEM IV To the Class of ’26: 1. Our great dignity and those keen intellectual powers w;iich have been ours so long. (Continued On Page 11) trips, shows, and these la.^.; few re maining days—all have left their mark upon us. Much we owe t-> our cap able oflicers: Cloyd Philpott, presi dent; Dwight Johnson, vice-president; Frances Thompson, secretary--treas- urer; .and to our teachers. Miss Lula Walker and Mr. E. C. Hunt Today we are Seniors; lomorrow we stand alone, our school (iays over, and our Aimer Mater but a tender memory. But away v/ith such thoughts, let us be up and doing. ‘‘The moving finger wipes: and having writ moves on: nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears vv.ash out a word of it”. “■ Lexington, N. C. June 5, 1935 Dear Miss Lula; You see I havent forgnten my promise to write to you ten years from the date of our graduation. I’m going to tell you all about the mem bers of our class. In sonie you will be disappointed, in others you will be proud. Mabel and Lucile Cecil are great successes as vaudeville dancers. Their company, known .as ‘‘Cecil Cuties” was here only a week ago. We have gotten only twm teachers from our class, Madge McCarn, who is now teaching math in Central High School, Chlarlotte, and Lillian Pea cock, who, as you know, is the best Latin teacher North Carc:ina has ever produced. Charlotte Shoaf was married about five years ago to Mr. Ima Nutt, and she is now a great society leader in Chicago. Her private secretary is— can you Imagine it?—^Willie Koonts. Of course, you remember the Junior Order Orphanage which was Ijuilt outside of Lexington? Elizabeth Knight is matron of the orphanage and Ellard Zimmerman is superin tendent. Only two have tried to make a name for themselves on the stage, these are Jessie Leonard and Lester Sheets. I think before many years Gene Young will be known as “Billy Sun day, the second”. He is an evan gelist and Clifton Conrad goes around with him as his singer. Did you read in the papers a few years ago about Crawford Beck’s dis appearance? No one has heard a word from him for five years. Now comes the greatest shock of all! Florence Swaim is m Korea as a Missionary. As we had always pla lubd. Beck Walser, Frances Thompson, Mary Lil Walser, Virginia Smith, Stephanie Bragaw and myself are livin.g together in a little six room bungalow, known as “Paradise Lost”. All of us are old maids. I suppose that doesn’t even surprise you. I had a nice little talk with Clara
