Closing ........ 2 Opening Looking Through Open The door is open for all to take a good look at the little community of Lapel with a little over 2,000 inhabitants. Lapel is primarily an agricultural community with its two large grain elevators, but that's not all it contains. It also has two industries, a sheet metal plant and the Brockway Glass Company. Part of our pride is the Fisher Brothers' Furniture Store which is known throughout the state of Indiana for the quality of its mer- chandise. If someone were to drive down Main Street, they would also see a new State Bank of Lapel, a savings and loan company, a new Myer's Insurance Company building, a recently built Yancey's grocery store, a boutique shop, and a variety store. There are still other privately owned places of business in- cluding a public library which com- plements the high school's library. The park has a swimming pool that provides Doors the summer entertainment for young and old alike along with Brockway's eight hole golf course that the commu- nity and school use for cross country and, of course, golf. The heart of this community is the school. Without the school, the town would be virtually dead. The location of the school is on the south eastern part of Lapel. The shape of the school consists of two wings, one housing the elemen- tary and the other housing the secon- dary grades. The teachers that work at this school are of the finest quality. In to- tal there are thirty-two teachers with twenty-seven of them holding a Master's Degree for the required and elective courses offered to the students. To- gether all these elements create a school and community we can be proud of today.

Community And School Interaction The community welcomed the new school year with a Homecoming cele- bration, which lasted for three days. There was a homecoming queen contest in which the students vied for the crown. There were booths, fish dinners, and car- nival rides. On Saturday there was a pa- rade which was led by the Lapel High School band and in which the Student Council had a float to represent the school. This year's float was urging all to get out to vote. The lob's Daughters, a community organization for young la- dies, had a float with the Honor Queen and her court. Lapel's group of gun powder shooters displayed their talents with the old time guns. The blast from the guns sounded all along Main Street. Mr. Welch, whose hobby is raising huge Percheron horses had his team in the pa- rade. The churches of the town spon- sored floats. The Shriners from ln- dianapolis performed for the huge crowd with their little autos. Other units in the parade were the Senior Citizens, the political candidates and Lapel's old and new fire trucks, the children with their bicycles, and the horses from the 4- H horse club. At eight o'clock on Satur- day evening, the Swing Choir of Lapel High School entertained the home- coming crowd with an outstanding per- formance of their many songs and dances. julie Likens was crowned Homecoming queen by last year's queen, Lisa Asbury. The remainder of the evening was spent visiting the dis- plays, playing bingo, talking to political leaders and enjoying the food prepared by the Lion's Club. The money from this project is again given to the community as it is from these proceeds that needy children get glasses and it is from this that a deserving Senior girl receives a scholarship gift. 4 Opening Scott McCoy displays his skill during the home- coming parade.
