HOMECOMING Highlights Flying L Football Season Plans for Homecoming started weeks in advance. Committees were formed, posters made, floats designed, and trucks borrowed. Color Day began the festivities, and every Flying L appeared in the traditional blue and white. One bonfire was burned prematurely, but an emergency notice put out by the Student Council brought more than enough wood. As the flames of the scheduled bonfire spurted upward, silhouetted snake dancers shrieked around its base. Couples rocked to The Jail- house Rock at the dance on the Basketball Courts. Finally on that warm November day, the band played, the floats moved; the 1957 Home- coming parade rolled through Lauderdale showing its floats. Riding in the latest model convertibles were the Queen candidates. Friday night the stands were jammed, the crowd was tense for a victory, and the team was spoiling for a fight. At the half, Miss Pat Doepke was crowned Homecoming Queen. When all was finished, the crowd stood in a clamoring group and roared in unison over the victory, for the L's downed Miami Beach, Looking back, one would have to say It was a wonderful Homecoming! Team who play is get beat! won the contest for the best float in the Home- oming Parade. Did Krause was Chairman of the 1957 Home coming festivities. He was helped by other mem- bers of the Student body. Dick was voted Novem- ber Student of the Month for the wonderful job he did on this all-important annual project.

LEGISLATIVE Seeks Representation No taxation without representation, is a slogan that was heard a lot in America at one time. Legislative Council seeks to see that everyone is represented. Of course they don't tax people, but the government of L. H. S. is run democratically, and it seeks representation for every person in the school. The members of Legislative Council are the Presidents of each homeroom. Each member reports back to the Homeroom the things the Council decides on. Suggestions are also taken by the Presidents from many Homeroom members back to the Council. Legislative Council is the manpower behind Executive Council. It supplies workers for the concession stand and sells book covers and student cards. Leading the Legislative Council through this year were Jean Makemson. secretary: Bill Millgan. treasurer: John Doe I. president: and. Ronnie Hatcher, vice president.
