They Just Can’t Stop Going to Class Students had many choices as to the courses they can take, depending on what they want to do when they get out of high school. Many students chose to take classes in business, which helps in the world of commerce. Some turned to mechanics as their field of interest. Still others looked to teaching. Whatever the students decid- ed on as their goal in life, the courses of- fered at LPHS prepared them for the outside world of working. The teachers of LPHS also did their share of homework. Preparing the courses took a great deal of time and ef- fort. having to know what would benefit the students and what wouldn't. The teachers spent long hours deciding on the best subjects to present to their students and helping them after school. The classes offered at LPHS were carefully selected and prepared. When a student took a course, he or she could feel confident that he was getting the biggest fulfillment of that class. 4 Classts

Homecoming Students 'Never Give Up' Homecoming, as expected, highlighted the 1982-83 school year at LPHS. Traditionally classified as ’‘spirit week by the students, many activities take place during the week of the game. While showing school spirit is the main goal of the activities, having fun and be- ing crazy seem to go right along with them. The most visible aspect of spirit week is the dress code. Everyone comes to school dressed a certain way for each day in the week. On Tuesday almost all the people in the school seemed to be ready for a fan- cy occasion, but instead it turned out to be dress up day. It was a real shock to see so many students in their nicest out- fits on the same day. It proved to be a good change of pace. Then everyone either kicked off high heels or loosened ties and had a chance to be much more comfortable on Wednesday. It was sweatsuit day. and everybody dressed accordingly in all different styles and colors. Already comfortable in their sweats, students participated in the after-school games. The results were: Egg Toss — Senior class. Balloon Toss — Sophomore class. Marshmallow' Eating Contest — Sophomore class. Wheelbarrow Race — Senior class. The students also participated in a tug-of-war. and enjoyed the opportunity at the dunk tank. The victims for the dunking were Mr. Hyde. Mr. Moryl. Mr. Stewart, and Mike Barthel. If a visitor to the school had not known it was spirit week on Thursday, he would have really wondered what was going on! Thursday was declared Punk or new wave day. and the people who couldn’t be punk just wore clothes that clashed. It was really a sight! Wild clothes and renlly wild hair was seen everywhere. Spray on hair color that could be washed out was used by the majority of the students. It definitely was one of the more memorable davs of the history of LPHS. After school, all three classes worked long and hard to decorate the school in preparation for Friday. The Seniors decorated the large cafeteria, while juniors got the hallway between the small cafeteria and the library. Sophomores decorated the small cafeteria. Finally everything was ready for Friday’s activities. 6 Homt(om nf
