From Jim O'Malley: ...The story by B.M. Little, Jr., about the Goose Pond and the building of the old swimming pool gave me a big smile. The swimming pool was to the northwest of the old High School building. In the '50s or so a building was built over the remains of the pool. It was an annex to the high school and probably an ag building or something like that. I've included a picture taken at that pool around 1937 when there was a Beauty Contest held there. My mother, Hazel Terrell O'Malley, was the second place winner of the contest. She was 26 years old. She's the second from the right in the picture. I was there, but I was just a little fellow of 6 or so and don't remember the picture being taken. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of the other ladies. Perhaps some of the viewers can identify them for us. Isn't Lexington history fun!!!

But Your Faithful Scribe noted: Actually I believe it was the tennis courts. The Ag building was on the northwest portion of that section in the back.
