Instead Of Homework Students worked hard at LaSalle. Classes like calculus, physics, US His- tory, and many others provided plenty of homework to keep us busy. Many of us also had jobs outside of school. Students also had leisure time which was spent in activities commonly called hobbies. What kinds of hobbies did students have? Each person had their own individ- ual character and many hobbies reflected that individuality. Many were interested in sports, whether on a LaSalle team or not. LaSalle was not passed by as the skateboarding craze swept the country. Outdoor activities included backpacking, camping, skating, jogging and skiing. Many students indulged in more relax ing hobbies such as art and music. Col lecting articles was another renowned aspect of hobbies and collections con sisted of such objects as coins, stamps and rarely, shot glasses. Teachers involved themselves in many widespread hobbies. Mr. Bogucki, for example, enjoys archery while Mr. Jasiewicz designs grandfather clocks. Mr. Steen and Mrs. Johnson take to the slopes for winter skiing enjoyment. Mr. Fuchs spends some of his extra time golfing and bowling. Hobbies gave all of us a chance to get away from studying and working for a while. 16 Automotively inclined Jeff Taelman replaces a fender skirt. ABOVE: Artist Roger Vann at work.

Surprises Found Inside Lockers 18 An outsider may have entered LaSalle and considered it a drab building, full of long halls and dreary lockers. True, the aisles seemed endless and the building not too cheery, but when the subject of lockers came up the outer coating was deceiving. Upon opening an individual ' s locker a person allowed a world of fanta- sies to escape. Strewn about were pic- tures enough to fulfill anyone ' s wildest dreams. Teachers were even caught sneaking glimpses at the most tantaliz- ing pinups. Others gazed in awe at the incredible stunts of various rock stars. If a student was lucky enough to be in school on his birthday, they often experi- enced a breathtaking surprise — a trans- formed locker exterior. The decoration of a locker announced and honored a friend ' s birthday — a common occu- rence. Lockers were used as meeting and socializing centers of activity throughout the year. Students could be seen talking in front of them while exchanging books and folders. Although lockers may have been invented for the sole purpose of storage, many students converted the box of metal into a personal outlet of self- expression.
