tyocuAinCf, attention on Jt.P.eM-.S. in 1956-57, toe j inA Looking back over the year in L.P.H.S. we recall different people, places and events—some appearing bright and distinct in our memories. The freshmen, trying to feel secure in their new surroundings, preferred to take the long way to class rather than chance a shorter route and get hopelessly lost. Feeling a bit more important, the sophomores entered more clubs and athletic activities. Now upperclassmen, the juniors busied themselves raising money for their big event of the year—the Junior Prom. The college-bound and work-bound seniors planned as their big event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet to welcome the juniors as upperclassmen. It is our intent to bring into FOCUS the highlights and daily routines that made up our school year, 1956 57. Page four

How do you solve 3x -f- y = 25?” could be heard from a confused student going into algebra class. For more determined students, instruc- tion in advanced math is offered. But as the fresh- men were struggling through 9B math and algebra, the seniors, Big Wheels” at last, found that they could get just as confused in college algebra and trigonometry as the freshman in his math courses. Dave Oakes and Phyllis Mooscy explain right triangles to the geometry class. Page six
