Golden Bears Defeated by Golden Bears. Weeks of feverish activity preceed homecoming each year. Ex- citement reaches its peak with the election of representatives from grades 7-11, and the selection of the Queen. With this in the background, the main event now is the planning and build- ing of class floats, and the spirited competition of trying to win first prize. The Senior Class, taking its cue from Camelot, de- signed not only a beautiful float for the queen, but also one with a winning theme. This year clubs were permitted to enter floats with a plaque awarded the winning float. The JSO protest wagon captured this honor. Excitement ran rampant as the Junior Class won the Spirit Cup, and the 6th Grade won the Spirit Stick. The week's activities reached their climax at the ballgame, which was won by the Golden Bears of Hazlewood. The Sophomore Class got out the old pot intending to boil the Hazlewood Bears. Winning float designed by Seniors with Camelot theme. HAZELOrifi 7th Grade made plans to mash Hazlewood.

WAYNE BAILEY - DAVID GLOVER Dedication of the Flame of Freedom Viewed by LHS Representatives Girls' State was held on the gracious campus of Huntington College where our representative, Kathy Walker, reports she had a fabulous time. The food was great, the friends gained were many, and the opportunities unlimited. Besides enjoying classes on government and campaigning for various offices, they put into practice the ideas learned. The highlight for them came when Governor and Mrs. Brewer held a reception in their honor at the governor's mansion. Kathy felt everyone who attended was made a better person, and she only wishes every high school girl had the same privilege. Marion Institute was the setting for Boys' State 1969 where our repre- sentatives spent an enlightning week. Since this is the campus of the Military Academy, our boys gained some insight into various aspects of military life, arising early to do calisthenics, having daily room checks, and marching military fashion all over the campus. One day was spent at the capitol where the boys observed and put into action the ideas on government they had learned in class. They were privi- leged to hear the Governor speak, and observe as he dedicated the Eternal Flame of Freedom. From all reports the food was great, last- ing friendships were formed, and enjoyment was had by all. 16 KATHY WALKER GARRY BURBANK - RANDY RODEN
