Pep assemblies have always been a tradi- tion at LaSalle High until last year when they were prohibited by the Indiana State Legisla- ture. The incoming freshmen of ' 84 were greatly disappointed by this banishment. Sophomore Chris Johnson states, I thought it wasn ' t fair because all the other years had them. When asked about pep assemblies, senior Jenelle Coddens simply replied, I think we need more. Well now they ' re back and hopefully to stay. Junior Rhonda Merriweather says Hooray, Hooray!

Moments Crown Nights What do you associate with Valentines Day? Red hearts, candy, flowers? How about a basketball game? This years homecoming game against MC Elston was played on February 14. Although Elston defeated La- Salle 70-54, there was still much excitement to be had. During the half time junior Will Tieman and senior jSharon Chlebek introduced the 1986 homecoming [court amid rounds of applause for each couple. In the stands there were the typical rowdies with their bags of confetti to the amusement of some and the jannoyment of others. It ' s ok to a certain point but when they start throwing the real little stuff it bothers me. coments sophomore Lura Grontkowski. Losing the game wasn ' t the only disappointment the Lions suffered. Many of the students were let down by the fact that we did not have a pep assembly. Freshman Denise Hanner claims, We should have had one. They get our spirit up and they get more people to come to the games. There was aso a change made in LaSalle ' s homecom- ing procedure. Instead of having spirit week held all in one week, this year was was decided to hold it on [various days. It began on the Friday of homecoming, lending on the day of sectionals with the traditional red and black day. Through change and disappointment the Lions stood tall and our pride shown. It is unlikely MC Elston will forget that.
