“Look to the Future”
(By Hewey Clodfelter, Class Poet)
Don’t fear when leaving Lexington Hi;
Remember life’s lessons, as time goes
by.
And use them to conquer the hard
ships and strife
That make for ourselves a successful
life:
A life that others will see, and know
That they would be happier, if they
lived so.
A heart that’s clean and a soul that’s
pure
Will through the hardships of life
endure.
And don’t forget to remember God
When the going is rough and the
way is hard,
For He is the One who helps conquer
the strife,
And wiil lead us on to Eternal Life.

LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL
II Penseroso
(With apologies to Milton)
(To the tune of “Now the Day Is Over”)
(By Bob Hendricks)
High School days are over,
Graduation’s nigh;
Shadows of this cruel world
Draw from us a sigh.
Now our friends are departing.
We “bluff” that we are glad;
But from deep inside our hearts
We are really sad.
Though we say we are happy
To leave Lexington High,
We are really sorry
Now to say goodbye.
Here’s to the freshmen and sophomores.
And to the Seniors to be:
May you be as happy
As were we.
With these thoughts we leave you.
May your skies be blue;
And to Lexington High School
May our hearts be true!
Our Father’s World
—Hewey Clodfelter
In the beginning God made this earth.
And gave it to you and to me.
Then Jesus came to give second birth.
To make people everywhere free.
For we had sinned, and God had to
send
His Son to save us all;
He hopes that we our soul’s will mend.
And that we’ll all heed Jesus’ call.
Today the world has progressed much.
But instead of being calm.
People are afraid of a friendly touch
Because of the atom bomb.
Nation hates nation, person fears
person.
Of war men think more and more;
And each other they are eternally
cursing.
And heed not the open church door.
If the world does God’s will, she must
look
To the model of Jesus Christ;
To become more enlightened, she must
read God’s book;
For eternal life, only this will suffice.
