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.

N O Il H Preparing for the State Fair, tht Bind duoratcs thc Lapel does not have a theater to pro- vide entertainment for its townspeople, so most of the entertainment was pro- vided bythe school. After the town's an- nual homecoming celebration, the school provided football games, cross- country, and golf competition. The girls' volleyball teams went into action at this time also. The school homecoming was held in October with an afternoon game-a first-which was preceded by a parade. Each class had a float and candidates for the queen and her court. The dance was held that evening. The big event of the year was the Fall Festival held on October 29th. Again, it was the town which provided door prizes for the event. Then came all cate- gories of boys' and girls' basketball. The period between basketball and the spring sports of track, golf, and baseball was filled with movies sponsored by the Student Council. The prom was held on May 9th at the Edgewood Country Club with the after- prom being held at Cooper's Bowling Alley in Anderson. After that came the FFA banquets and the big All-Sports banquet. The year ended with an impressive graduation ceremony for the largest Se- nior class-99 members-held on May 17th. Enjoying the evening's refreshments, Doug Ban- ning serves Sherry Daffron a cup of punch at the Prom. To break the monotony of the lunch hour, Mr. Dickson tries to enlighten the day for Maura Pearce and Laura Willis by telling one of his jokes. tn Opening bus to show their high spirits
