Using his skills against DeMatha during the Christmas Tournament is senior Rick Peterson. SMILES Leaving LB was approached with not only happy cheers and anxious tunes, but also with doubts, tears and a little pain. Seniors had close ties with members of the Class of ’76 along with teachers and underclassmen. These were sometimes unwillingly loosened as goodbyes were spoken at graduation. Still, there was promise in the sumemr air of the coming years, the free time; and the coaxing winds of change kept us counting the days ’til the end of high school. Holding his own against five senior brutes is one of LB ' s ‘little people.”

HARD HID IK HND TaKin iT ESSY If you don’t take shop, Clint Phillips would tell you he’s brazing a candle holder with an oxyacetylene torch; and if you do take shop, that’s standard stuff! Well, heck, we’re a complete school now, what’s left? All of our firsts for doing things aren’t first anymore. Instead, we still have the opportunity to follow on the carved path of those before us, but who knows? Maybe we’ll change a few things ourselves, or add on to the structures we have now. We celebrated all our accomplishments, individually and collectively, in many ways. Tears, pain, laughter, joy, hard work, and takin’ it easy; all were forms of living up to being a total unit. We’ve done and seen it all, from registration to graduation. We’ve experienced and learned things inside as well as outside the classroom which furthered our life long education, and while some of us sought change, others settled back into a routine. After all that, it’s time to pursue our other endeavors outside these walls. . . Practice is an important part of any athletic activity, from Kyle Noel and Co. to our own Varsity squad. An open school still leaves plenty of room for a private con¬ versation between Ms. Yalen and Darsi Krueger. 366 Closing
