Made by the National Lampoon House people, the movie draws crowds every week and has sparked such interest that the toga party in the movie is now imitated at all of our school functions. At the Senior Masquerade Party, over fifteen togas were worn, and at last count, seven toga parties were slated. Although athletics are primarily extra-curricular affairs. interest in the L.S.U. Tigers. S.U. Jaguars and teams as far flung as the Los Angelos Rams. Chicago Bears, and the Dallas Cowboys is fervent. Nancy Lopez is golf's grand dame, and Chris Evert-Lloyd is still a big tennis idol and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are the favorite sports pin-up. Big on the television scene are Robin Williams. (Mork of ABC's Mork and Mindy ), Cheryl Ladd. Leif Garret, Alan Alda. Shaun Cassidy, (with freshman only) and Suzanne Somers.
