Country Charm Ofr City Soplfwlstzoatzon 9 The essence of the Lapel commu- nity is nestled halfway between country charm and big city sophis- tication. Along with most small towns around Indiana, Lapel offers a mellower lifestyle, complete with clean air, green grass, and corn fields. However, the one unique as- pect of Lapel is the closeknit bond between the community and the school. Lapel community is the fuse box for Lapel schools. Hit the right switches and it will supply the needed energy, whether that be the students, money for all the school ac- tivities, or opportunities to help us venture forth into the adult world. In return, Lapel school's provide as much recreation as possible for La- pel residents. Since small towns rarely sport theater houses or con- cert halls, our school does its best to keep the social calendars full. Sports events, from boys and girls alike and musical programs for even the most discriminating taste head the agenda for things to see around La- pel. No matter how much we ask for, we can wn to back us up. It is this trust and mutual need that strengthens the ties that bind us together and keeps our package small and good.

Theres ct Whzfrlpool of Actfwzttes Watch it! That first step is a doozie. Just one step over the thre- shold of Lapel School drops you into the whirlpool of countless activities that starts in kindergarden and steadily excellerates to exhausting proportions during high school. Though our package is small, it is by no means condensed when it comes to types of activities for students. Ironically there seems to be some- thing for everyone, but usually isn't enough someones for everything. However, the students at Lapel give their best shot at investing enough time to make each activity worth- while. Need a break? Convos give a needed change of pace for elemen- tary and high school students alike. Musicals and the annual Variety Show offer an outlet for that cre- ative genius lurking in all of us. Through clubs and societies younger students are given the opportunity to mingle with the uppenclassmen of the school. With the support of the sponsors and backing from the school board, students are given the chance to venture into fields of in- terest not normally available to them. Our activities here at Lapel mark the beginning and end of each phase of the school year. For any season there is a sport. It starts with foot- ball and volleyball, building through wrestling and basketball, winding down with golf and track only to pick up again with baseball in the summer. The Halloween Carnival and prom are the bookends of the year, while sectionals and gradu- ation signify the achievements we have made. fUpper rightb Local people pay tribute to school athletes. fRightJ Local band Airstreamer'l performs at a Sophomore dance. 6 Opening
