The year is nearly ended,
(My thoughts are all askance;)
Sorrow and joy are blended
As we give a backward glance.
So many things have taken place
In the year about to end.
I’ll try a picture for to trace.
To recall some important trend.
(Excerpt: September 1949 LEXHIPEP)
“SCHOOL DAYS, SCHOOL DAYS . . .” And it’s back to our good old
school for another year. For many it is the last year. Let’s make it the
best Lexington Hi has ever known.
IT HAS BEEN a wonderful year. Under the capable direction of Ang
Lindsay, president of the Senior Class, and Marvin Crow, Student Council
president, it will take an exceptional year’s events even to equal this, our
farewell year at L. H. S.
*****
(Excerpt: September 1949 LEXHIPEP)
DID YOU KNOW THAT L. H. S. is considered to have the siscond best
Industrial Arts Department in the State? We rate second only to High Point
High School, which is considerably larger than L. H. S.
HIGH POIN’TS I. A. D. MAY be larger than ours, but the work done in
our department could not be equaled by any other school, no matter how
much larger!! Your fine workmanship has been wonderful, boys!!
