Being the smallest school in Madi- son County is not always easy. How- ever, in this age of consolidation and emphasis on biggest, baddest , and best-Lapel High stands out. There is a certain down home feeling, a unity that must be handled with care. Nothing surpasses the open yet se- cure atmosphere at L.H.S. Our school may not have the sleek gloss or so- phistication of a large city school, but it also does not have locks on the lockers, police dogs roaming the halls, or the threat of assault. There is firm authority, yet no heavy pres- sure at Lapel. Respect is rewarded by respect. Because the upperclassmen are within fifty steps of the elementary, the news of their successes, as well as scandals, travels fast. This first hand knowledge of high school life gives the younger Lapelites a taste of what they can expect and work to- wards. The little Bulldogs can't wait to become BIG Bulldogs. Although tradition reigns, change is not frowned upon by Lapel stu- dents and faculty. The steady trans- fusion of new blood from Jackson School and Anderson St. Mary's pro- vides the stimulus to speed the pulse of our school. New faculty members are welcomed into our ranks readily, for they bring innovative ideas and fresh approaches to learning. Our package's contents have now been generally described. The we are working together feeling is the outside wrapping which binds the many facets of our unique parcel. Check into it's contents and see for yourself why good things come in small packages.

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.
