After the concert, many vocal students quickly started rehearsals in preparation for regional anti state vocal contests.

Throughout the summer, ideas formulized, and plans progressed so that, by fall, the yearbook advertisement campaign was well underway. The theme of CROSSROADS was chosen to represent the book’s main thoughts from its introduction through its conclusion. The P-mcmbcr staff worked diligently to meet the often-dreaded deadlines. New staffers quickly had to adapt to the fundamentals of copy writing, layout construction, and picture cropping. With the assistance of sponsor John Shei, the 1975 EL-PE staff successfully undertook the challenge of recapturing the year’s events and transforming them into CROSSROADS’75. 222 STARTING BELOW. CLOCKWISE: Trying to achieve correct proportion, Kathy McCain adjusts the cropper to fit the picture Cxjnf erring with advisor John Shei, are section editors from left to right: Pat Marshall. Kathy Hoeppner. Ann Route. Julie Gcttingcr. Joan Kolar. and Tammy Jones. Advisor John Shei proofreads a triplicate before forwarding it to the publishing company. Leslie Taggart masters the an of good layout technique. Nancy Swanson illustrates the frustration often encountered by staffers. The 197' OvEditors-in-Chief are Pat Marshall and Tammy Jones. Since there are so many people involved in creating a yearbook, it is almost impossible to decide who to thank first because each arc equally deserving. It is only fitting, however, that I first thank the HIPc advisor Mr. John Shei who not only helped in creating the yearbook, but also proved to be a great friend to all of us. Next, I would like to thank my co-editor-in-chief Pat Marshall. Without her I would have gone insane. I would also like to thank Mr. Jim Bell, our representative of Taylor Publishing Company for all of his time spent with us. 1 would like to express, also, my gratitude to Mr. Jim Mara of Dean’s Studios for class pictures and other miscellaneous supplies. A special thanks also goes to Charles Machlcr. Vicki Holloway, and Mike Perlieh for their pictures of Stratford and Washington, D.C. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank the 17-member staff for 1975. Although some honored the candy machine more than their deadlines, they were a terrific group to work with and it is they who created CROSSROADS 75 for you. TAMMY JONES I can only attempt to express the thanks to all who deserve recognition, for this year was full of wonderful experiences and wonderful people. I sincerely want to thank our El Pc sponsor, Mr. John Shei, for the many hours of headaches, hard work, and worry he sacrificed to produce this excellent yearbook. Also, our yearbook representative, Jim Bell, and Taylor Publishing Company deserve our appreciation for an exceptional job. Thanks, too, go to the LPHS administration for their yearbook support, and the many merchants who purchased ads; this yearbook would not be possible without their financial assistance. I must commend the rest of the EIPe staff, including photographers Jeff Lehner and Mike Perlieh, for it was they who created CROSSROADS ’75 (although some were less efficient in honoring deadlines.) I am grateful to Tammy Jones, my fellow co-editor, who shared the responsibilities of editor- in-chief. Had I done it alone, this very well might have turned out to be a three-page pamphlet. Finally, I thank the students of LPHS because 1974-75 held something different for each of us. May we be fortunate enough in the future to look back on our past and remember this unique and fulfilling year. PAT MARSHALL 224
