To the Students: This year, as in the past, we have tried our hardest to produce a yearbook that would capture some of the flavor of the 1984-85 school year. I believe we have achieved this goal in the following pages in the form of photographs and words. As you read the book I hope that you will remember YOCJR experience at LHS, not just the ones that are mentioned in this book. 1 2 Sr. Editor, Craig Creeger

by Paul Ebert The rage of Christmas ’83 and the fad of 84 had to be Cabbage Patch Kids. People waited in line for hours to buy one of these dolls that came with their own adop- tion papers, and no two just alike. During the summer of ’84 movie houses were packed with people viewing box of- fice smashes. Ghostbusters or Purple Rain starring Prince. Record stores were packed with discs from the outrageous Boy George and Culture Club, the eyebrow raising Prince, the unusual Cyndi Lauper, and the boss Bruce Springsteen. During the spring and summer the Democrats were holding primaries to see who would go up against the incumbent, Ronald Rea- gan. The Democrats chose Minnesota's Walter Mon- dale. In early November, the people of the (J.S. made their decision, with Ronald Reagan winning his second term. Barney Clark became the first human to receive an ar- tificial heart. He survived for 112 days on the plastic heart made by Porter Juarich. In early December the second artificial heart was success- fully transplanted into an- other human being. Science has raised many unanswered questions in '84-companies patenting DNA strands for producing human insulin, fertilizing and growin human embryos in petri dishes, splicing genes to engineer better peo- ple and offspring. 1,4
