We were free from the tolling four and ten minute hells, and the worries of homework. Now it was tiem to put our dreams of summer into motion. Some took off across the State line, some found jobs, and others just laid in the sun and relaxed. After all, that's what summer's for. Summer kept everyone on the go. Reflecting hack on the summer of 79”, we remember the good times and dream on to next summer. 7 6 15 Summer Friendships provide reflections that produce both joy and sadness. We remember your smiling faces and feel the void created by your absence. You made us grow and learn in a way we did not want to accept. You gave us many beautiful moments that continue to provide very special thoughts.

We’ve gone through a lot together over the past years. Many things have happened that involved us all. We’ve experienced life and death, and each adversity has brought us closer together. As graduation approaches, we reflect hack on all that we’ve learned together. We’ve learned how to learn, how to teach, how to like and dislike, how to die. As the year conies to an end, we realize just what the class of '80 is. It is comprised of 145 individuals, each distinct in his or her own way. Yet each sharing a common bond. The class of 1980. we. are the beginning of a new decade, and it is the beginning of our new life.

ECHO m e cording the day by day events of school activi- ties, Echo reporters keep LHS students in- JL formed. Students in grades ten through twelve develop their journalistic skills through weekly reporting. The Echo staff experienced difficulties in production because of the lack of interest and effort on the part of the reporters and editors. LHS students receive Echoes less frequently hut they still provide them with needed infor- mation about the current happenings of our school. X •• .1 i MW yfc_ 1 - I i . Kur i Sjher. Mickey Welch.

A fter a busy marching hand AM season, the senior high JL JL hand prepared for (heir first concert on December 10.

The senior high jazz band also practiced continually for the concert. Band 67 PEP ADDS LIFE! W ho is it that entertains the spectators during the halftime at games? The pep hand, of course. The pep hand does not have a lot of time to prac- tice, hut the tunes they play are famil- iar, so continual practice is not a ne- cessity. The pep hand members enjoy play- ing, and they add spirit to the fans and team members. After all, a little pep adds a lot of confidence. ■ Junior High Band rhe seventh grade hand and the junior high hand are under the direction of Mr. Pete Olson.

School spirit also was seen at each appearance the team made and was one of the key factors in a win against Windom. The Cardinals were victorious over Windom following an earlier defeat at the Windom Tournaments. Injuries to two seniors during the season that would have shattered any other hall club seemed to bring the team closer together. Two disappointing losses early in the season set off a spark that inspired the team on to eleven straight victories following the holiday tournaments.

Actually, they are specialists. r r Their work consists of the operation of the heating system, painting, treating and disinfecting floors, electrical repair, plumbing, etc., and providing for our needs.

Our bus drivers have the job of driving in inclement weather. They also drop their other jobs in the middle of the day to take students back home. Bus drivers, must always be on call for extra-curricular activities, and always have the re- sponsibility of forty students on their shoulders. 127 Bus Drivers M J effect ions, beautiful moments installed in our minds of a fantastic year.
