A centurv of LPIIS is reflected Many dances have been held at our high school in the past one- hundred years and many students have attended them. This scene is a typical dance at LaPortc High School in I9 8. These past stu- dents are our reflections. We, of La Porte High School, are commemorating one-hundred years of grad- uating seniors. Through the past century, since 1869. our school has turned out many a student to take his place in society. This year marks the end of an era in LPHS his- tory. Many questions can he raised as we look back over the reflections of past years. Will the next century of graduates be as memorable as the last? Or as worthwhile to remember? No one can really tell. All we can do is look toward the future with high hopes and confidence. In the long life of LPHS we have had the distinction of hav- ing an outstanding football team Many teams have come and gone, but each year has tried to out do the last. The 1931 team was no exception. The great LPHS basketball play- ers have come and gone in the long sports history of our school. They can be remembered by to- day's students as a past reflection to be proud of. The passing years may change outer appearances, but these girls. Louise and Clarahclle of LPHS. 1927. arc still teenagers growing up in a world of adult reflections. Their inner feelings are past reflections of today's teenagers. These LaPortc High School cheerleaders of 1948 may look strange to a modern student, but a closer look discloses that they are only different in appearance's, not in their inner feelings. These LPHS students represent our heritage. 7

Memories will probably plague La Porte High School graduates of this for 1 Porte High School students. A monument to the old life and the school. The old Lincoln School as it appeared in 1919 and still stands good old days, the building represents many precious, past reflections, today, although in less fortunate condition, was the original big school Years pass and times change, or do they ? A huge club for La Porte girls, the Girl Reserves has a rich, long past that is also proud. These girls were members of I.PUS 1926 GR and can help us appreciate the heritage the club has today. The sports in our school arc as old and traditional as our school. Here, the 1919 boys' basketball team may look different but still rep- resent a reflection of today's sports. Customs may change through a century of years. The 1929 senior girls basketball team was unique in its time and is a reflective memory. 6

LPHS Homecoming 68 passes What is any homecoming without the excitement of the shoulders, the arms, and the legs, all battling for one big game? The mass confusion of the heads, the common goal. Score for the school, our school! Homecoming '68 was LPHS spirit magnetized. It was crowds of fans and a fighting team. It was popcorn and pop and Pepper club shouts. It was screams of joy and sighs of anticipation. It was Stan Klimczak. his men and Guy Fore- man's marching band. Homecoming was, as usual, a memorable night. Behind any spirited team there is thought. Hut what is l ehind the plans for the next move? There is a personal side to each individual and his thoughts are important. 8
