Outside- . ■ The American people shared the impacts of last year ' s experiences as never before. The loss of rock ' n roll ' s king, Elvis Presley, affected individu- als throughout the world and a spirit- ual bond formed ' round the world as countries united in mourning his death. The earlier suicide of Freddie Prinze left thousands stunned. Sebas- tian Cabot, Groucho Marx, and Bing Crosby left behind happy memories and smiles in the hearts of their fans. President Carter had many unre- solved problems. Conflicts with Pan- ama continued during the discussion for the ratification of a Canal Treaty. His Budget Director, Bert Lance, resigned following numerous investi- gations regarding bank overdrafts. Mrs. Carter made successful diplo- matic visits around the world. She helped to maintain the goodwill of the United States with foreign countries. Controversial issues were unavoida- ble. The President expressed his opin- ion on the decriminalization of mari- juana for personal use, ignoring his advisor ' s opposing advice. Anita Bryant carried on a crusade that dis- criminated against homosexuals and attempted to get some of them fired. Kent State students protested building an athletic complex where the Kent State slaying occurred. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) head- lined the discussions of many political meetings. King Tut came to Chicago and the lines of tourists drifted off into infinity. Anxious viewers waited three to six hours to see the extraordinary jewels of the King ' s priceless tomb. Nationwide, crowds gathered as the Star Wars craze hit. The country was stricken with intergalactic fever. LaSalle ' s happenings were numer- ous and important to us, but the worldwide events of the year affected the lives of all the people. Nationwide: 1. Bing and Kathryn Crosby 2.

Don ' t Sit On Their Hands You can ' t reach out and touch it nor can you hold onto it with your hands, but spirit was a feeling that almost every student at LaSalle experienced at one time or another during the year. Spirit surfaced all over involving the activities around the school. Pep band instilled a beat into the crowd that added to the excitement. The Booster Club ' s spirit could be seen throughout the year as they hung pos- ters in the gym and pool area. These banners urged our teams on to victory while at the same time telling our teams that we were behind them. The cheerleaders were perhaps the most visible example of spirit. Always ready with a cheer, they encouraged the teams on to victory. Students were the most numerous fans but there were plenty of adults in the stands, too. The prime example of adult spirit was Mr. Bradford, the man who yelled Go Lions! at almost every basketball game, rain or shine, since the opening of LaSalle. Parents were the main supporters of many of our athletic events — from swimming to volleyball. Spirit gathered a varied student body into a unified group, all support- ing LaSalle High School.
