Vvatetoeaee and UN3l3UWMD I A , n I e 4 To Pknhmtns, f , 43 The national event most prominent in this decade was Watergate and the first resignation of a President. More students worked part time jobs. It was the opinion of some teachersgthat this was the cause of a decline in school spirit and created general school apathy. Although blue jeans have been wornfor a long time, they just recently became an important part of every wardrobe. Today, it's platforms, printed blouses, and toe socks. . A Entertainment? Everyone did his own thing. Movies wereioften attended despite the exorbitant prices. In- frequent school dances attracted some studentsgwhile other past times were cruising the burger places and at- tending a variety of parties. Last, but not least, there was the TV set -- a major form of entertainment, a na- tional past time, and a good excuse for postponing homework. Among the fa- vorite musicians of the 70's were: Led Zeppelin, Elton john, the Eagles, and the Average White Band. Although our country was not at this time engaged in war, students faced crucial problems. National Test scores, like the SAT and the ACT, had fallen to their lowest level and many educators doubted the credibility of the high school diploma. Amid all these changes, the faculty still retained its major goal - to serve Lexington by promoting the development of individ- ual pupils to adulthood. -4.L....-a...,......a.....,..g..i...i........................,,,..,,,.,..,,.,.,g . ,, . .

giifisss-stamps Whether after a football game or on a pretty spring day, Lafayette students flock to their local Hangouts. After most home games, you will find the usual crowds antagonizing the securi- ty guards at McDonalds or cruisin around Frisch's in the family car. These pitstops have become increas- ingly popular with the Lafayette student body. Among the local night life spots is the Lexington Bluegrass Airport. If one were to drive by late at night, he or she would probably see several parked cars. The occupants of these cars find much pleasure in taking in the View because it's not every day that a person can spend his weekend eve- nings Watching the airplanes take off. So any place is a good place when friends can get together. 1' 1 if , s ,-1 l . i 4 v e L... vb' if 0 I ' 1 gms! lx p r if I I ,self A 34' film ' 'Ef- i ts- ,W in X il I N ' Bef Q I ll fy,
