Feelings of '79 ft V J The year has ended, those long hours that students thought would never pass have gone. Those tedious days, which we counted and marked down on black boards through the school, have finally slipped away. And yet, the tee-peeing adventures of Friday nights, the anxiety and stress of homework and exams, the physical exhaustion of a hard victory all contributed to the successful mood of the year. The students of LPHS look back on the year remembering the highpoints that influenced their lives. Sophomores and Juniors anticipated their vacation, knowing that they faced yet another year of schooling. Seniors, however, graduated with a nostalgic feeling knowing they were leaving to face the challenges of life outside of high school. Slicers realized that 1978-79 was complete within itself — an entity brought about by them which in turn became an influencing factor in the people they became. 2
