SENIOR NUMBER The Lexhipep GOODBYE SENIORS VOLUME XV. LEXINGTON, N. C., TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1937 No. 4 CLASS OF 1937 Seniors In Activities Largely Represented in Sports, Clubs, and Scholastic Work The senior class has taken a promi nent part in school activities every year since 1934, but this year it has reached its climax in achievements. Because football is so very popular, those boys who fought so hard and victoriously for L. H. S. should be mentioned first. Among those were: Captain Fred Welch, John Webster, Pete Miller, Louis Green, Arlan Hud son, Clyde Kinney, manager, and Fred Siceloff, assistant manager. These boys saw to it that Lexington High could sing, ‘’Lexington will shine tonight,” after many of the games last fall. Only six seniors were on the bas ketball teams, four girls and two boys. Frances Earnhardt, Frances Leonard, Mae Vestal Leonard and Louise Bar rier did outstanding work for the girls while Max McGinn and Lewis Green were on the boy’s varsity team. All six worked hard and deserve a great deal of credit even if their teams wete not as successful as the football team. The class has been well represented on the Lexhipep staff. Robert Clay ton, editor-in-chief; Margaret Spruill, assistant editor-in-chief; Dorothy Moore, chairman of literary section; Clyde Kinney, chairman of sport sec tion; Frances Johnson, joke editor; Henry Etta Link, business manager; Ocko Pickett, assistant business man ager; Susan Mullis, chairman of art (Continued on Page Two) DEDICATION As we write the last page of cur High School book And| give a glance backward, over each year.

SENIOR, WRITES AND PRE SENTS “THE PINNACLE” 3-ACT TRAGEDY WINS APPROV AL OF AUDIENCE On May 7, the Dramatic Club pre sented “The Pinnacle,” a three-act tragedy, which was written and di rected by John Leonard, president of the club.
