While that may not be so in every case, it can be said that these times are the most unique. They are made unique by the ex- periences which you have during your times as a student. Chief among these are the first day of school, Home- coming week, spending time with friends, and Christmas break. At no other time in your life will your style of living be the same. We hope that looking through this volume will help you think back to your years at LAHS and remember what it was like to be a student in 1988. 97 Banquets, Awards Recognition PTA Fine Arts Reflection Program State Win- ners Colleen Peyton, Cristina Campos Maaza Lagdon not pictured — Ron Peterson Ronda Dove FHA officers award winners FFA Top Hands Troy Turner — most improved Ag student, President district extemp speaking.
