METAMORPHOSIS (met'a-mor-fo'-sis) n. 1. Change of form, structure, or substance. 2. A striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances. Since the beginning of time the world has been changing. The purpose of our endeavor is to center in on a small pan of that changing world, the pan that affects us as students at LaPone High School. As winter turns to spring and night evolves into day, we too are changing and growing. Like the caterpillar who, through a process of metamorphosis, at last becomes a butterfly, experiences in our years of school help us to change and grow. This learning aids to form more aware persons, so that when the life cycle is complete, both ourselves and future generations will have benefited. But be it a physical or mental change that we experience, we will always be a pan of a changing world throughout our lives. •Webster Opening — 3

One example of change in our altering environment was the $8 million dollar addition to LPHS. Begun in November, 1975, it was expected to be completed and ready to hold classes by September, 1977. Included in the new structure was a new gymnasium and pool, an expansion of the Home Economics and Social Studies wings, extra space for the Industrial Arts and An Departments, new kitchen facilities, a radio- television studio, and many other much needed improvements. Although the overpowering smell of tar and the excessive noise of construction caused some disruption of classes, the completion of the building will benefit everyone at LPHS. Opening — 5
