SPORTING rhe 1979-80 Foot- ball Season was a trying time for the Boys in Blue. Five losses left the Tro- jans out in the cold and innumerable injuries kept them there. The Trojans started the season with a tie but lost the next two to Lamar and Yuma. Game four was a match up with another Trojan team — Fountain Fort Carson. Las Animas dominat- ed the starts with a total of 25 yards compared to Fountain's 194. They turned the ball over five times, however, and got nine penalties for a total of 100 yards. Quarterback Price Quarles rushed for 78 yards in the game ending with a 19-13 score in favor of Fountain. Games five and six were also de- feats for the good, yet mistake- rideen Trojans . John Mall caught the Trojans on a bad day, and beat them with the help of three fumbles and a missed extra point. The Trojans defense, which had done a good job all season, did an even better job Homecoming night, holding the Bears to a total of 111 yards. The Canon City Ab- bey Bears were finally beaten by a rekindled Trojan team by the score of 17-7. The next week was another home game and LA had an easy time with the Triple — A Florence Huskies. Although the Trojan's winning streak started too late, they finished the last game with a win. As the season came to a close, the Trojan team seemed some- what disappointed, yet not over- ly so. for as Price Quarles says. Next year we'll give 'em hell!''

Kathleen Hogue concentrates on her flute playing. usice was taught in various ways at L.A.H.S. during the 1979-80 school year. Through chorus, ensemble, and band to students learned the fundamentals of singing, reading notes, and playing instruments. These classes were taught by Keith Garber, with the addition of Frank- Paayn, who taught choir and en- semble. Throughout the year choir, ensemble, and band gave humor- ous concerts which were greatly enjoyed by everyone. Music was in- deed an important part of L.A.H.S. and our education. One of the music classes listens intently to instructor Frank Payn. ''Really, we’ve got to quit singing those lulla- bies. Concentration is shown on the face of George Alvarez. This is so boring, we’ve already practiced it eight times. 27
