May 28, 1948 THE LEXHIPEP Page 15 GRADUATION— Cont. from Page one of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Essick, of 5 West Sixth Street. The valedicto rian has made the counted highest average of an even 97 during her high school career, and she will give the farewell for her class. To the familiar strains of “Reces sional” by Kipling-de Koven, the Se niors marched out and joined the thousands of Lexington High School alumni. Junior-Senior Banquet Success The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Municipal Club Fri day night, May 14, 1948, at eight o’clock. Dr. B. J. Peeler gave the invoca tion, after which Mr. Bob Bruton sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” Recognition of the school board, and toasts to the Seniors, Junior class sponsors, Mr. L. E. Andrews and faculty were given. The speaker, introduced by Reverend H. A. King, was Dr. W. A. Mauze of Winston-Salem, who gave a short and very impressive after-dinner speech on the subject, “How Do You Live?” His development in clear outline form was most appropriate for the occasion. Russell Revelle, local radio star, de lighted his audience by singing “Lov ing You” and “Graduation Day”. Rose and white roses, the senior class colors and flower, were in pro fusion everywhere, with a large arch way over the mantel and over the main entrance door, forming a bower of roses. A dance, honoring the seniors, was held immediately after the dinner, with John Petticord and his orchestra pro viding the music. The dance, which was held from nine until twelve, was fully enjoyed by everyone. The Junior Class Sponsors, Mr. The odore Leonard, Miss Mary Elizabeth Pugh, Mrs. Fred Lewis, and Miss Janie Manning, and the mothers of the Junior Class worked tirelessly to put on the banquet, which surely rewarded their efforts.
