IDIQEIDAIQATIUNS The lights flood the stadium. The stands are full of people squirming with nervous anticipation. Slowly, a marching band glides down the length of the football field. The crowd grows quiet as the loud speaker bristles with an authoritative voice. And now, from Lexington, Ky., the Lafayette High School Band, under the direction of I. Larry Moore with Field Commander Io Ellen Pike. There is a roar from the crowd as fans wildly wave red, white, and blue flags. As the cheers begin to fade, the voice once again fills the speakers. Lafayette, you may take the field. The next seven minutes are a specta- cle of music and precision. For the 139 members of the Lafayette Band, it is time to put all the hard work into ac- tion. The contest has begun. 3 ul Most spectators at a band contest don't realize the practice behind a win- ning band. The preparation begins in early August when pre-band camp is held. For four hours a day for five days, the band members work on fundamen- tals. These include playing and marching skills, which ultimately must come together. The next week is spent at band carnp at Morehead University. Practice some- times totals ten hours a day as the band struggles to memorize the new drill. Meanwhile, the music is memorized at indoor rehearsals. The next step is to combine the music and the drill, which consumes many agonizing hours. After camp, the band returns to Lexington and spends the remaining weeks before the first contest perfecting the show. Rehearsals are held for six . L rikku T. MX-wir . .. get '- I4 Q-Sgt hours every weekday. These sessions are crucial to the success of the band. Of the five contests the band com- petes in, one includes an inspection. This adds more time to the already countless hours of preparation. There is much to be done, and band members and parents dedicate themselves to the tasks. Instruments must be in perfect Working order and be clean enough to pass an actual white glove test. Rifles and flag pikes are cleaned and re-taped. Coats, trousers, and skirts are laun- dered, buttons polished, and hems cor- rected. Shoes, boots, and flag belts are shined to a glaring white. Brass breastplates and belt buckles are polished, While crossbelts, citation cords, and ascots are washed. The be- rets, aussi hats, and rabbit fur shakos are cleaned, and the red and blue plumes shaken out. In addition to these preparations, the band must return to the field and re- hearse lining up, left, right, and about face, and other vocal commands. These are practiced again and again until the band snaps with precision. Once school begins, the band re- hearses each day during fifth hour and at sectionals after school. The band also holds practice up to three nights a Week. In addition, the band often prac- tices early in the morning on a contest day. Is it worth all the work? Ask any band member and he or she will proba- bly say yes. The hours of practice are forgiven if not forgotten when the voice on the speaker exclaims, And the GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP goes to the LAFAYETTE HIGH SCHOOL BAND! fTop leftj Sophomore Bobby Dodge displays in- tense concentration as the inspection judge pas- ses. fTop rightj Before a crowd of several thousand, the Lafayette Band competes in the Contest Of Champions at Murfreesboro, Tenn. fAboveJ Moments before the judge appears, the band members assume postures of complete still- ness. fOpp. pg. top rightj Before loading the bus for inspection, a band parent helps sophomore Kathy Vogele with last minute details. lOpp. pg. top leftj junior percussionist Wes Thomas pa- tiently adjusts a timpani as the band prepares for a contest. fOpp. pg. bottom leftj The band plays to the judges as they rehearse during fifth hour. fOpp. pg. bottom rightl Seniors Lisa Ricketts and Susan Fister work on their hair before donning the rest of their uniforms. BY ME ME BUX TON CCEIIF L All the preparations of the year pro- ved to be successful for the Lafayette Band as they marched away with the first place trophy in three of five con- tests. In August at the Kentucky State Fair Band Contest, Lafayette won first place in the large division, Best Auxilary fflags and riflesj Award, and the overall Grand Championship. Next came the Danville Invitational, in which the band once again was awarded first place in their division and the overall trophy. In addition, Io Ellen Pike overcame tough competition to be chosen as Best Field Commander in her division. In the most important contest of the year, the Murfreesboro Contest of Champions , Lafayette came up on the short end, tying for third place. This was a disappointing finish for the band as they had reigned as the Grand Champions of this contest for the past two years. During a miserable rainy night, the band sloshed through ankle-deep mud to win the local Lions' Invitational, which had been postponed twice be- cause of rain. In the last contest of the year, at Morehead, the band placed sec- ond. Concert season proved to be very ex- citing for the band as they journeyed to Mexico for a music festival. The band gave concerts and performed their marching show while there. Upon their return, they received superior ratings at the State Band Festival. In the spring, the band exhibited their ,marching show for the National Band Association meeting in Knox- ville. Activities that many individuals of the band participated in were: All-State Band, Morehead Band Clinic, Pep Band, and Solo and Ensemble Contest. Contests, along with winter and spring concerts and participation in a Cincinnati Bengals half-time show, made for an exciting year for the band. All the hard work proved fruitful as the Lafayette Band produced a successful year. by Meme Buxton - EAD -W NS 30f5 Q. .gms J West l 36 H. ll' CS ry ta qu...-n...- Q Jr- ,. -ill fy.-f' al. 35 in io JD gr IE V J. ze h .5 A fl 5 EE iii if te- ,XJ OW l +4 gif. rv, Z -- X.. ,....,,.,.i.r. , . 19 C- X- 20 td if II it d al K- if 18 P i d a 1. l. e ll s-JG?

J' X SAM EDEN As I pass through these walls and ponder what a great experi- ence Lafayette has been for me, I only hope I've given something in partial repayment for the new found dignity and self respect Lafayette has given me. Does anymore have to be said? Sam Eden is one of Lafayette's most outstanding students. He was one of the first handicapped people placed into the public schools. Sam has attended Lafayette for one year and has found that his greatest interest evolves around government. He intends to major in general speak- ing politics as an attorney. Sam commented that if he could change anything in education he would expand graduation requirements, for the future leaders of our government. He would also have more empha- sis put on the government classes. Sam has competed in many speech contests and won the regionals. He said that he is very proud to go to Lafayette and deeply appreciates the at- titudes of so many caring and concerned students. Sam also commented, I only hope that thorugh my experiences, the road to higher education for other handicapped students will be paved. LA YNE DOUBLE-TAKE MASON This is Layne Mason, your dedicated and relentless weather forecaster. Does this sound familiar? It does to those students who heard Layne give his weekly weather forecasts last year. He started giving Lafayette his weather predic- tions during the hard winter of '77 and continued his amaz- ingly accurate forecasts during the equally harsh winter of '78. Layne first became interested in weather forecasting when he was seven years old, was en- couraged to find out for himself .5 - about weather conditions. He has since become so efficient that an admirer of his claims that he is a true believer of the Layne Mason Theory of Weather Forecasting. Layne has been presented with a Ken- tucky Colonel Award and will travel to Canada, New York City, and Washington, D.C. competing with other outstand- ing students in weather fore- casting. Layne hopes to con- tinue his forecasting and possi- bly get a job with a radio or television station. Layne com- mented, I hope my future ca- reer as a weather forecaster will help mankind and the society in which he lives. KATHY DUNN Kathy Dunn has put her hobby to work. She has helped to lead a Girl Scout troop since she was in the 7th grade, and took a course called CIT to be a certified counselor at a girl scout camp. Recently Kathy helped Kim len- kins in front of Lafaytette after a tragic motorcycle accident. She says, I didn't save her life but she would have been a lot worse ifI hadn't stopped the bleed- ing. Kathy said she would rather take care of emergencies because everything comes naturally when there is an emergency. Kathy pinpointed the im- portance of knowing first aid when she said, You never know where you'll be, or what may happen and a doctor won't RON GILBERT 7 Ron Gilbert has contributed much to Lafayette's drama de- partment. Last year Ron par- ticipated in a school play, Teahouse of the August Moon. Ron has acted in twenty-five plays and has had the lead role eighteen times. Ron said he was impartial to playing character acting. When he displays this he may be a comedian, drama- tic actor, or a musical character. Ron said There is not much always be present. encouragement for beginners in the acting field, therefore he said he was going to major in accounting. Ron also claimed, Acting in the theatre itself is very reward- ing, because in acting you can put reality out of your mind and live in a fantasy world where everything al- ways has a happy ending.

H liglaty A dream of sorts, everything went smoothly as Home- coming drew near. Yet there were doubts in the minds of many at Lafayette only a few weeks earlier as the queen selection controversy rocked the school. Split between tradition and Title IX, the former method of choosing the queen is now history, as it is presently up to the student body as a whole and not merely the football team. But the controversy was soon forgotten as throngs of stu- dents stepped out in style to witness the Generals stun a highly regarded Clark County team. Though the tempera- ture at 36 degrees caused many a date to huddle closer, it was merely an incentive for Coach Iirnmy's boys. Capitaliz- ing on a Cardinal fumble, Forrest Moore scooped up the costly miscue and four plays plater Ieff Hatton put Lafayette on the scoreboard. Billy Prewitt scored twice more to in- ooo 2' o dreor ii' ui 1'-'N . in in E X H r Q ' a H flate the lead to 21-0. Meanwhile, the hard work of the Iunior and Senior classes, the DECA and Pep Clubs, and the Marquis staff became evident as the halftime ceremonies got underway. Five dazzling floats preceded the parade of Homecoming candidates, Iody Cook, Lisa Harper, Beverly Iohnson, Becky johnson, Io Ellen Pike, and Beth Taylor. A happy Cecy Morgan was crowned and later joined by senior football player Tim Prewitt as the reigning royalty of Homecoming '77. But the Student Council was not to be outdone as they capped the evening with a celebration dance to easily equal the 28-0 victory. With music by Xanthus, the cafeteria full of happy students rocked into the night. This put the finish- ing touches on an evening that few will ever forget. fTop leftj The Homecoming crowd views Queen candidate Jody Cook. fTop rt.J The many faces of the Homecoming Dance. fCenterJ Michelle Paul and Mike Mattingly enjoy the Homecoming- celebration. fOpp. pg. leftj '76 Queen Mona Wil- son congratulates her successor Cecy Morgan. flnsetj Cecy shares the spotlight with Tim Pre- witt, Lafayette's first Homecoming King . fTop rt.J The Senior class displays their winning entry in the float contest. lSequenceJ Kevin Prewitt eludes a tackler.

In a recent survey, however, it was discovered that the average student spends close to sixty dollars per month. Sources of this income vary - many teens receive al- lowances from their parents, while others maintain some type of part-time job. Everyone knows the saying, Money doesn't grow on trees, So where does all the money come from? 30'!o of the students questioned stated that they received weekly or monthly allowances. 5O0!o said they held full time or part time jobs. Of this number, 65010 have a savings account, which will help them incur the expenses of a col- lege education. -LOCK: reported that they were saving for some type of expensive item like an automobile. On the whole, teenagers tend to be influenced in spending their money by the hard sell advertising which is con- ducted in many places and many ways. When teenagers receive money, O, where does it go? The survey indicates that most students spend at least a por- tion of their money on their wardrobe. Most people go through a dress cy- cle . They begin as a child who doesn't care how his mother dresses him, then go to a preteen when absolutely no- thing fits, and finally wind up as a teenager who must wear the newest fashion which usually is the most ex- pensive. What goes on his body is important to the teenager, but according to sur- veys, so is what goes into his mouth. He doesn't base his preferences in restau- rants so much on nutritional value as what tastes good or what is the inn place. Preferred over all other types of eating places is the hamburger estab- lishment, which was attended on an average from 10 to 25 times a month. Also tops on the teen list was the pizza parlor. These informal spots have re- placed the soda parlors of the 50's as the popular hangouts for after the ballgame or the school dance. nn-9-un A W9 In the past year, something new has arrived on the scene. With the disco craze sweeping the nation, teens con- gregated at night spots like Houdini's where they could meet and dance. Houdini's was set up for teenagers who were too young to hang out with the college crowd at Stingles, yet were too old to fraternize with the Iunior High set at Champ's Roller Drome. Many girls frequently make the comment that boys have it easy, but are forced to eat their words around Home- coming or Prom. Homecoming is not quite as expensive as the Prom, but both always include expenses such as: dinner out, pictures, and of course, that special outfit. Most couples think it's worth it, but the expense leaves many a pocket empty. The pockets may be empty, but the resulting good times must be worth it. No longer does the saying A penny earned is a penny savedi' hold true. Now it would seem that a penny earned is a penny spent!

Although there were many light moments, the play had a serious tone as it told of three handicapped persons who faced the world together. Director Bob Gardner stated, The play used an unusual conventiong the audi- ence heard thoughts and conversations from the characters' pasts. It is difficult for actors to react to 'air,' but I thought they performed this effectively. Auditions for the twelve member cast were held in February and rehearsals began shortly thereafter. A postponed performance date allowed the actors and actresses to prepare even more thoroughly. The stage crew built very effective sets while the lighting crew worked on perfecting their timing. When the play was presented, many students were surprised to find that a serious play could be entertaining. If judged by the students' favorable reac- tions, Tell Me That You Love Me, Iunie Moon was a very successful spring play.

The twenty-four girls, di- rected by Mrs. lean Wake, per- formed for many organizations and in two contests. During the Christmas season the girls per- formed in such places as Spin- dle Top and the Hyatt Regency Hotel. On April 27, 1978 the twenty-two girls, Mr. and Mrs. Wake, Mr. and Mrs. Thermus Reynolds and their daughter Heather, departed from Lafayette High School on a Greyhound bus. Their destina- tion was Atlanta, Georgia, to compete in the National Vocal competition at Six Flags over Georgia. The girls competed at the World Congress Center at 10:00 on April 28. The judging was very difficult with three distinguished judges presid- ing. When the performance was over with, the girls were re- warded with one superior rat- ing and two excellents. After returning, the Charmettes com- peted in the state contest at Transylvania University. The girls received three superior ratings. The 77-78 Charmettes performed their last concert to- gether in a musical Hodge Podge in which new Charmet- tes were initiated.

Mrs. Walce's first hour chorus consisted mainly of 1977- 78 sophomores. The chorus had a four part voice arrangement - soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. These students sang in the KMEA music conference, Hodge Podge program, annual Christ- mas program, and caroled for many civic organizations. Graduation and KMEA are just a few of the perfor- mances given by the second hour chorus which was organized for ju- niors. The chorus sang for many con- ventions and organizations during the year.

Well, maybe that is going a bit far . . . but Lexington does pro- vide several different facets of enter- tainment for the general public with a focus on the American teenager. Teenagers have progressed far beyond the casual movie date as they have begun to explore many new areas for pastime. The teenage population is seeking a more fulfilling and worth- while entertainment as well as new and different things to do for fun. Whatever the high schoolers are looking for, Lexington has it to offer. From horse racing to cultural plays, the entertain- ment field is widespread and the re- sponse to its quality is overwhelming. Relaxing pastimes include eating a special dinner in some of Lexington's most reputable restaurants. Several classy places are the favorite night spots for the prom, that special date, or for just a casual dinner. A few of these establishments include Nelly Kelly's, The Magic Pan, and Darryl's. The Magic Pan which is located in the Lexington Civic Center is a favorite of many people. Lexington's new Civic Center provides many of these types of restaurants as well as beautiful stores inside the mall which lure many shop- pers through its doors. Places such as the Magic Pan allow people to forget the formalities and regain a casual air. Good food and nice company set the stage for the perfect night on the town. The cozy atmosphere enhances the mood as the evening wears on in a sophisticated manner. 1 ,tl ., 4 . .5 ,..p-A Jura n nu if . I if 0 5 K I q'I?Xs ,rf P Q if ff 'e . - 1 V . rw s QNX? , .

You try to tell yourself that you really should get some more sleep since it's going to be a long night but it's uselessg your mind is already whirling with the millions of things you have to do. The many things involved in preparing for the prom only help to make the day that much more exciting. For the average girl the day starts with Hawaiian Tropic and a swimming suit. When a sufficient amount of sun has been soaked up it is time to retreat to a long hot bath.

The 1978 prom court marches in - there are 26 in all - and the announcer begins, The sec- ond runners-up are: Mike Mattingly and Wendy Wood! After a moment of applause the speaker continues, The first runners-up are: Kerry Ball and CeCy Morgan! More applause is heard as excitement mounts and before you have time to realize what is happening you hear, . . . Teofilo Rebagay and Lisa Harper! As everyone smiles and congratulates the winners, the whole prom court joins the new king and queen in leading the dance to the theme song, Looks Like We Made It . The rest of the night seems to float by in a kind of dreamy haze as it seems you are merely going through the mo- tions of being at your senior prom. You boogie, disco and square dance the night away until suddenly you find yourself dancing to the last song of the evening. As the tent clears and you step out into a light drizzle the rain suddenly seems appropriate as you too, almost feel like crying.

F' It always seemed so far away, A day that would never draw near, The day we received our diplomas And ended our senior year. As seniors we were so busy With football and English and math, We didn't realize how quickly moving Was our trip down the high school path And then the year was over, Prom and senior trip were too, We had already held baccalaureate And baseball' season was through. We had eaten our senior luncheon And attended awards night, And practiced for graduation Until we had it down just right. The senior Times had been printed, Predictions and wills had been read, Four benches had been given, Our class was looking ahead To the Saturday when as a class we would file Into Rupp Arena to listen, to cry and to smile At our president's message, the senior farewell The presentation of diplomas, the song sung so well Once we had those diplomas in our hot little hands You could often hear clapping from families 1n the stands For that small piece of paper was the representative of Twelve years of hard work, struggle and love Our days at Lafayette were all finished then For the Class of seventy-eight a new life will begin But wherever life takes us at any future date We can be proud we're a General of seventy eight N RQ i -K ggw S5355 x S X xx , , .K f X43 x YKCODM IKNIQW IIHIIQW RULES DF, THE GAME Game may be played by up to 2000 people. Ages 14-18. Object is to win a piece of paper with player's name on it. lThis piece of paper entitles player to a better life .J Player should have equal number of chances to move ahead or fall be- hind. If a player is penalized he may not advance until he brings a note from home. Player should be familiar with pit- falls of the game before starting lprincipals, teachers, counselors, security guardsj. Players should accumulate needed supplies before beginning fHall Pass, Cliff notes, older sibling's term paper, pad of excused absence slips, etc.J. Caution: Some rules apply only to Seniors. fUnderclassmen should avoid confusionj. Warning: The school administration has determined that playing this game can be hazardous to your men- tal health. But if you are ready . . . Go ahead . . . Start. Wonder if Mark Dawahare remembers his first day when he met senior Robert Turner and innocently asked him for directions? Although he might not have ended up where he wanted to go, he did become familiar with the school bat- hrooms and the Senior English teachers. While Eric Rizzardi, joe Hen- son, David Shippy, Whitney Roberts, and Laura Slusher enjoy the sun, they know they are missing valuable time in class. But by the looks on their faces, it seems like an unex- cused absence is well worth a day of rest from class. At least until report cards come out! - Although cheating is easily detected by most teachers, many students will try their luck at least once. jimmy Wilhite and Kevin Tipton try to ace a test by poolin their in- formation. Many sturfents find that Cliff Notes and cry tic notes written in the palm oip the hand are good antidotes to hours of cramming the night before an exam. Try it, but don't say we didn't warn you. Quite often we hear the commonly used phrase that high school is a prepa- ration for college, but in some cases it is the perfection of games which may have been played once or twice in ju- nior high, but are now played every week in high school. The academic courses are important, but behind the long hard hours of cramming for a test, forf most students are the long hours planning their fun-filled day of skip- ping or inventing their strategy for the test they forgot to study for the night before. Will these insignificant games affect many students' future lives, and if they will, should they still be played? C'mon you won't get caughtg we'll write you a note and your teacher will never know the difference. This is a frequently used quote by nearly every student who has ever experienced the trauma of going through high school. The atmosphere in high school holds a certain amount of freedom that junior high never provided. This is where the temptation of skipping begins. Skip- ping class becomes more frequent when Spring Fever hits. The desire to be outside overcomes the standards of right and wrong. Skipping gives stu- dents a feeling of freedom, that they're grown because they can leave school, but the penalty is awaiting their return, along with a sunburn and memories of a fun-filled day. Do you remember your first day of high school? For some that day will hold steadfast in the mind. Some will have good memories and some are still trying to forget the experience. Once again you are the youngest. You may not know it, but you are ready to begin your journey through people. Instead of finding your sophomore biology class you find yourself sitting in a senior En- ! .

The sophomore year has no comparison to any other year, but neither does the junior or the senior year, for each is unique. Each individual has his own personal games, but in almost every case some type of cheating is involved. In elemen- tary and junior high school, it was usu- ally copying homework from one of your classmates, and at worse you were punished by having your paper thrown in the trash can. But high school is the jumping off point for college and life, and the consequences resulting from cheating may be more far-reaching. Will borrowing someone's ideas in the classroom convince you that is easier and therefore more desirable to rely on someone else and not have to depend on your own ingenuity to get ahead in life? If done often enough, it might. Although high school means many different things to many people, there is one common denominator - study- ing. To some study is a word found only in the dictionary. Others find that their only knowledge of studying is in figuring out ways to avoid it. But for many, it is a ritual that will, eventually contribute to their future lives. The problem for many students is that their academic pursuits offer no immediate gratification - there are no observable rewards. Any rewards are so abstract as to go unnoticed. And so the game will continue. It will be played by new players who learn the rules form previous players, and then discover the joy of inventing some new rules of their own. Most agree that the game is fun - high school should be fun, but what about the seriousness of it? Are you pre- pared? front of the room Students seem to lose 1n- terest in class very easily when the lectures grow longer and the teachers be- come more boring. Kath- leen Becker seems to be more interested in what's happening in the back of the room than what the teacher is saying in the 9: cathy mason 5 There are many methods, tried and tested, of getting through high school. But the most effective still seems to be hard work. Dee Dee Vineyard demonstrates that study and preparation are the best ways to insure success in the class- room. While it requires effort, it pays off in the long run. A whole year of studying can prove to be very tiring for a stu- dent. Many never learn how to cope with this, and con- sequently by the end of the year are just pale shadows of what they once were. Mike Martin has found a remedy for this - snatching a few moments sleep in class. V45 5 Laughter, tears, sweat, determina- tion, joy, and disappointment. How many times have these very words been used to describe past school years? Probably too many, yet somehow they seem appropriate to describe 1977-78 also. As far as the terms sweat and hard work are concerned, it came not only from the practice and playing fields, but from seemingly quiet classrooms, the auditorium, and the band room. Unseen were the long hard hours of band rehearsal which produced the Pride of the Bluegrass , or the long, tedious hours of memorization which went into Teahouse of the August Moon , and Tell Me That You Love Me, Iunie Moon . The Junior Class was typical of the hard work and determina- tion of the school as they strove to make the Senior Prom unforgettable. Yet who can describe the tears that came when Lafayette was foiled in three of it's at- tempts at the State football, basketball and baseball titles, or the feeling of waking up on prom day to the ultimate fear - rain. Not to forget the tears of a different description. The realization that twelve years of school have come to an end at graduation, or the feeling of that last song at the Senior Prom. But the laughter easily outshone tears of any sort. From fall through summer X 1 x l X 'S fin we laughed and partied. Whether it be Homecoming, Prom, basketball games, Houdini's, or just a cruise around Burger King to see what was going on, the year saw a lot of happy times come and go. Meanwhile, Marshel Reed woke many of us from the first hour drags with Hey teen guys and teen gals! urging us to attend yet another Sr. Class party at Houdini's. But the weekends weren't the only wild and crazy times as pteradactyl calls echoed down the halls, and one never knew when the infamous Zorro might burst into class to brighten the day. Another unexpected snow break chal- lenged us to dig out and take advantage of being out of school. Meeting the challenge wasn't too hard as several nearby hills suddenly became ski slopes. When spring finally came, but with it no spring break, the sun and sand of nearby Boonesboro and Her- rington found many Lafayetters catch- ing rays while the absentee sheets grew suspiciously longer. The experiences of 1977-78 cannot easily be described by the words laugh- ter, tears, sweat, determination, joy and disappointment, yet the memories which these simple words bring will not need to be described as they will remain with us always. by CYNDI MITCHELL Y 5 SPORTS STA FF lisa hayes-editor mike beck kenny collier lowell press robert turner ,....,--,,-...,..., -.... -. ,.,... ..., ....-... ...........-,,.... . , U' ' --4 v, . ...gy-:N-.

The football and basket- ball programs have produced such superstars as U.K. footballer Dallas Owens and Wildcat basketball players Vern Hatton and Thad Iaracz. One former Lafayette cager, Ieff Mullins, even made his mark in the pros. The golf program spawned successful players like Gay Brewer and Myra Van Hoose. Ex-General baseball stars David Moore and Ioe Cowley got tryouts with major league teams. Bill and Bob West, key players on the water polo team, both made All-American honors at the University of Kentucky. In recent years with the addition of minor sports like soccer, gymnastics, and girls' basket- ball, new stars have emerged. The Mar- quis salutes some of Lafayette's out- standing athletes of 1977-78. At the onset of the year, the football Generals took to the gridiron. They were led by several returning starters, chief among them speedster Billy Pre- witt. After an outstanding season which included some remarkable re- ceptions and brilliant open field run- ning, Billy was unanimously named to the All-State team as well as the All- Gity and All-District teams. He has signed a letter of intent with the Uni- versity of Kentucky and hopes to run track as well as play football. While the football season was in full swing, so was the soccer season. Com- ing off of an undefeated regular season in '76-'77, Larry Miller's kickers were ready for action in the '77-'78 season. Iason Cohn and Teofilo Rebagay were especially ready for action. Iason's spe- cialty was offense where he magically appeared wherever the ball was. Teofilo played exceptional defense, where stopping an offensive charge was his forte. In addition to going to college lboth Iason and Teofilo plan on going to engineering schoolj both of them plan to play college soccer after at least one year of college studies. Both Iason and Teofilo hope that their talents will enable them to go professional, but BY R.L.TURNER as Teofilo put it, You really have to be great to play professional soccer. Both of them have gotten a good start while wearing a General uniform. This year the boys and girls basket- ball teams had several great athletes. Among them were Tanya Fogle and Dirk Minniefield. Tanya helped lead the lady generals to a regional crown, and was named to the All-District and All-State teams. Her ambition is to earn a berth with the Lady Kats. Dirk con- tinued the excellence he displayed his phenomenal sophomore season by leading the General cagers to a 19-5 record, and in the process being named to the All City, All State and All Ameri- can teams. The Gymnastics team found its own superstar in Tammy Dowden. She placed high in all meets, especially the regional where she swept all the female events. She then placed second in all the girls' events at the State meet. Tarnrny's ambition is to capture first place in the State meet next year. Tim Anderson has been a standout on the baseball team for the past two seasons. Last year he led the team in batting with a .518 average. In addition to shining on the Lafayette baseball diamond, Tim played on the World Champion Lexington South Connie Mack team. Whether in the water, on the field, or at the net, Lafayette can be justly proud of its many fine athletes. They have continued to uphold a rich tradition in the area of competitive sports. They may never have their uniforms or their numbers retired. Their feats will un- doubtedly be duplicated and their records may even be broken. In future years they may be forgotten and cheers will be heard for new competitors. But in the year of the General 1978, these were the people who made it happen. fy... . 7 4 QW... 3. - ww..

Wi, K W But as the clock ticked away, so did the hope among the fans. for it became evident that there would be no post- game celebrations and no possible re- match with arch-rival Tates Creek. A blanket of shock settled over the Lafayette crowd. During the waning seconds, one could only look back on a season full of many glorious moments. Coach lim Poynter's Generals began their schedule on August 19, by hosting Pikeville, a Class AA power. While many students still enjoyed their vaca- tions, Big L pig-skinners set out for what might be a banner year. And what a start they had! Lafayette responded to the challenge with an im- pressive 53-14 romp over the Panthers. Iunior backs Ronnie Lear and jeff Hat- ton overshadowed the highly regarded twosome of Tim and Billy Prewitt, and combined for 175 yards and 5 touchdowns. A tough defense also held the Pikeville offense to a mere 1 13 total yards. A week later, the Generals traveled to Boyd County and came away a 26-6 vic- tor. This battle, witnessed by a capacity crowd, saw Lear lead the charges after overcoming a sluggish first quarter. Everyone knew that the Lafayette Generals were for real. With the first two victories, they had already worked their way into the number two spot in the Class 4-A polls. But this ranking was short-lived, as a turnover-prone General squad fell to unheralded Christian County 23-21. Five crucial fumbles sealed Lafayette's doom, even though they more than doubled the Colonels in yardage. The Generals bounced back with a 14-13 thriller over Bryan Station. It took a miraculous catch by Kevin Prewitt to decide the contest, though, as he snared a deflected pass in.the end zone with 17 seconds remaining. This, along with the successful extra point, gave the red, white, and blue a come-from behind win over the hard-nosed Defenders. The victory over Bryan Station was followed by a week of rest. What came next for the Generals were three teams, each ranked number one at game time. This stretch of games would determine just how good this team really was. The highlight of the campaign re- sulted when Lafayette thumped rival Tates Creek 21-0. The contest saw ap- proximately 8,000 fans pack into Com- modore Stadium to witness the state's , l M is vi' 'Smal .f 4 , gy .H M ,U-,.fgQ! , No. 1 ranked Class 4-A team get whip- ped by an inspired group of Generals. The defense proved to be the key. Led by tackle Tony Harris' 45 yard intercep- tion for a touchdown, the big D held the Creekers to just 77 yards. Mean- while, a surging offensive line, along with quarterbacks Todd Lefler and Kenny Minniefield, produced the nec- essary points. Spirits were higher than ever as the General entertained the new number one team, Owensboro. The undefeated Red Devils battled the Generals on even terms most of the evening, but Doug Thorndale's field goal during the final seconds gave Lafayette a 23-20 upset victory. The offensive line once again provided the backs, led by Tim Pre- witt's 110 yards, with gaping holes. Lafayette now loomed as the state's No. 1 team in Class 4-A. But next on the schedule was the Class 4-A Jefferson County leader, perennial power Trin- ity. The Shamrocks brought a 20 game winning streak to Ishmael Stadium on a J ...,. rainy October night and weren't about to break that streak. From the outset, it was all Trinity, as time and time again the Generals gave up the ball and the Rocks scored. When the dust for as it was that night, rnudj had settled, Lafayette was on the losing end of a 37-7 tally. The Generals dropped in the rank- ings, but bounced back with two solid victories - the first, a 28-0 homecom- ing win over Clark Countyg and the sec- ond, a 30-0 pounding of Owensboro Apollo. All-staters Billy Prewitt and linebacker Roger Madison led the charges as both the offensive and de- fensive units displayed excellence. But disaster almost struck as the Generals visited Owensboro and barely squeezed by Owensboro Catholic 7-6. The defensive struggle was decided only when Kenny Minniefield in- terecepted a pass with five minutes to go, and raced 45 yards for the score. And thus the Generals entered the District Championship with an 8-2 mark and number four ranking in the state. Most people were looking ahead to another game with Tates Creek. But Henry Clay was no push-over. The Blue Devils opened up with a score in the first quarter and remqined on top at the half 7-0, as the General's offense was stymied. The third quarter was almost a repeat as the Devils in- creased their lead to 13-0. The fourth quarter saw the Generals gain momentary momentum as Kevin Prewitt scored on an 80 yard pass from Todd Lefler. But this momentum lasted no longer than three plays, for another Henry Clay score made it 21-7. The Devil defense took over from there and shut the Generals down completely. When the final horn sounded, Lafayette followers found what they had just seen hard to believe. But as they watched a dejected group of athletes trudge toward the locker room, they could only feel a certain amount of respect for a squad who gave all they had and provided many memorable moments for Generals supporters. lTop Leftj Kevin Prewitt i881 turns on the speed and heads for paydirt. fLeftJ Roger Madison cools off during a break in the action. fOpp. page bot- toml Todd Lefler launches the pigskin downfield behind the blocking of Mike Bartholomew 1781 and Buford Smith 1773. lOpp. pg. topl Lisa Harper fights back tears as her Generals are defeated. fTop Centerl Billy Prewitt turns the comer for a few of his many yards. 65 t ': 1 f 2 f -9 if a s -ay e Q , 1' .

As a result, there was a much larger turnout for tryouts for this yearis team. Support from the stu- dent body also increased noticeably. But the team was not without its problems The Generals were plagued with many injuries throughout the year, Key players were out of action as long as half of the season and as many as four starters were out for a game at a time. These major obstacles were over- come by a quality second and third team. The j,V. squad has been following in the footsteps of the varsity team for the past two years. They went undefeated this year including a hard-fought vic- tory over Tates Creek. The burden of next season will rest on their shoulders as seven of this seasonfs eleven starters are seniors. The Generals' front line and leading scorers were: jimmy Smith - 26 goals, jason Cohn - 16. Rick Duff- 11. and Chris Nieto -- 7. These players had the majority of 82 total goals scored. Back- ing up the forwards were half-backs Larry Burke. Kevin Tipton. and Danny Upset in th nd Faulkner. The effective defensive unit which allowed only 21 goals scored for the season were fullbacks Teofilo Re- bagay, Iohn Snarr, lim Wilhite, and goalie Kevin Haney. The Generals were successful in the first half of the season, beating teams like Lexington Catholic in the opener, 7-0, Breckinridge 8-0, and Sayre 7-1. Then came the day that the General kickers had waited for - their contest with the Creek. As the shadows lengthened and the day grew long, it became obvious that the Generals' streak would come to a halt. The long physical battle came to a close with the Commodores riding high on a 2-1 vic- tory. The defeated warriors could only pick up their weapons, pull their troops together, and prepare for the next bat- tle. But the team never gave up and bounced back to win 8 of the next 10 games they played. In tournament play, Lafayette saw a win over Sayre, 4-0, but in the second round they were upset by Berea, 2-0. For two years straight, Lafayette had been ranked highly but could not grab the title. For Larry Miller's boys, the third time could be the charm. Y -Q xt' if ,si Q ..

But on the other side of the gym the Lafayette fans stood with their mouths open in stun- ned amazement, as they had just watched their Generals let a victory slip through their hands. All that was left was the sound of silence . . . Thus ended what was really a great season for Iock Sutherland's Generals. To sum up the season Iock said, We had a great season but a disappointing finish. The season did not start off disap- pointing though. For on the night of December 2nd Lafayette's Cagers met cross town rivals Bryan Station at Me- morial Coliseum for the season opener. During the contest defense was the name of the game. There Lafayette's famed Iailhouse Iunk defense was born. With guard Dirk Minniefield in early foul trouble, senior Kerry Ball took over executing some scrappy defense. He helped lead the Generals to their first victory, 64 to 51 over the Defenders. After the victory over Bryam Station the Generals turned on their afterburn- ers and blew by several teams. Among them was Mason Co. whom the Gener- als trouncedg 93 to 62. Next was Franklin Co. and again the Generals wong 88 to 60. After the Generals posted their first three victories they prepared for their next game, with arch-rivals Tates Creek Commodores. All through the game the Commodores led, until the end of the fourth and final period. Then Kerry Ball hit a basket and that sparked the Gener- als to a rally. Their rally fell short how- ever and Tates Creek won a heartstop- per, 61 to 59. The Generals moved on to play Iessamine Co. There the Generals took out some of their frustrations on the Colts by beating them, 96 to 68. Head Coach lock Sutherland got his team ready for their next opponent, state power-house Henry Clay. Again Lafayette led most of the game. Then with about six minutes left Dirk Min- niefield fouled out with 22 points under his belt. This was the Blue De- vils' signal to go ahead and they took over the game. It was the Blue Devils' 81-75 win over the Generals that gave Lafayette a 5-2 record. The Big L had several day's rest. During this time Sutherland drilled his team to get ready for the Fayette County Invitational Tournament. In the first game, the Generals played Clark Co. and won easily, 78 to 55. The next game matched Lafayette against the Shelby County Rockets. By the end of the game, the Rockets had propelled them- selves past the Generals 69-56. Later the Rockets went on to claim the F.C.I.T. title as well as the Sweet Sixteen to be- come the State of Kentucky's High School basketball champions. After the F.C.I.T., the Big L went on to their first road trip. Here the Gen- erals released some of their pent-up energy from losing to Shelby Co. Their two road trip victories were against Knott Co. Central and Hazard. Both games were won handily. In the Knott Co. game, junior Tony Doctor Dunk Wilson tossed in 27 points, and helped the Generals to a 79-70 vicotry. In the Hazard game the Generals won 68-60, bringing Lafayette's season mark to 8 and 3. The Lafayette Cagers had a big game come up on the 24th of January, as they were to drop in on crosstowners Tates Creek for a long overdue visit. The Generals were primed by Iock Suther- land with Kerry Ball hitting for 14 points. Iunior Kurt Rose pumped in 11 points and Dirk Minniefield tossed in 12. This helped the Generals to bounce past the Commodores 51-42. This game by n.L. runnsn was sweet revenge for the Generals as the Commodores had pulled out a heart-stopper over the Big L earlier in the season. Hyped up over their sweet win over Tates Creek, the Generals travelled to Estill Co. to feast on the En- gineers 103-51. In the game Dirk Min- niefield led the team with 27 points, while junior reserve Brant Ely came off the bench to contribute 17 points. Se- nior reserve Mike Slone added 10 points to the cause. Now it was time for Sutherland to once again get his team ready to play cross town rival Bryan Station. The Generals had already beaten the Defen- ders in the very first game of the season. Now it was time for Dirk, Kerry, Tony, and Co. to prove that once again the Mad Dog offense and the Jailhouse Iunk defense could really shut Bryan Station down. Minniefield and Ball led the Generals' scoring drive with 20 and 17 points respectively. Kenny Minniefield also came up with 13 points for the Generals' cause. Tony Wilson played excellent defense with many steals and blocked shots as well as contributing 7 crucial points, and again the Generals rose to the occasion and blew by Bryan Stationg 78-49. The Generals, 'feeling hot from two consecutive wins, traveled to Shel- byville to play the top ranked Shelby Co. Rockets. This had been long antici- pated and was expected to be one of the f-Q lf'- Ap iq. best games of the season, and it was! Lafayette led most of the first half, but then the Rockets rushed back to take the lead at halftime. The second half had started and Shelby Co. was still on top, but at the end of the fourth period the fighting Generals came back. With less than 30 seconds showing on the clock Kenny Minniefield tossed in two clutch free throws and put Lafayette on top 66 to 65. Then the Rockets went down the court at the last second and tipped in the winning basket, which gave Shelby Co. the gameg 67-66. This is where the controversy starts. fAboveJ Kurt Rose scores against a Blue Devil. fLeftJ Coach Sutherland gives playing instruc- tions to Tony Wilson. lOpp. pg. topl Coach Sutherland shows basketball is an emotional game. lOpp. pg. bot.j Keith Hendrix anticipates how the play will go for the Big L . 71 it .

Sutherland said it best by suying, We won the regulation game, but lost in the two-second overtime. Also reflecting on that game Asst. Coach Harville said, After the Christmas break we were 13 and 1, but we tend to think we won the Shelby Co. game. So our record should be 14 and O. The Lafayette Cagers were slightly upset after the Shelby Co. loss. So the next night they traveled to Powell Co. to take some frustrations out on their next opponent, the Powell Co. Moun- tain Men. In that game the Cagers trounced Powell Co.g 115-76. The Gen- erals ended up with several men in 72 double figures, D. Minniefield with 21 points, Mike Slone with 16. Kerry Ball had 13 and Tony Wilson had 12 points. Lafayette had one more road trip planned. The Generals traveled to Laurel Co. for the only game of a usu- ally two-game road trip, for the game at Somerset had been cancelled due to bad weather. In the Laurel Co. game the Generals once again came through on the better side of the backboard as Tony Wilson tossed in 21 points and Kerry Ball added 18 to put the Generals over Laurel Co. After the Laurel Co. victory the red hot Generals lnow 14 and 4 on the seasonj, were ready to go up against those Blue Devils from Henry Clay. Henry Clay was playing without their superstar Michael Scearce, so the going would be rough for the blue-hued de- mons. It was a tight battle between the if ,y . I ' WV,,,,,,,. wr 2 wwheg, 1.1 , f-- L ' -,MQW ..,,,,,,,. ' ' 1, ii M two state powers. But with only sec- onds left, Lafayette took over the lead with a couple of free throws. This gave the Generals the game and they went on to wing 55-54. The next game at home was the Lexington Catholic. Here Lafayette showed its supremacy by outclassing and outscoring the Knightsg 81-57. The last two games of the regular season saw the Lafayette Cagers playing Dan- ville and Newport. The Cagers beat Danvilleg 66-58, and Newport, 66-52. DEFEAT IN DISTRICT 43 Lafayette drew Henry Clay for first round district action. The expectations were high for a fantastic game as the Generals and Blue Devils had swapped one victory apiece.

The team started out as individuals, each trying to win the game on her own, but a loss to Bryan Station brought the team to its feet and sparked a season that put Lafayette on the map in girls' basketball. Led by seniors Tanya Fogle and Amy May, Lafayette captured the regional and lost by just two points to Assump- tion in the first game of the state tour- nament. But even with a fantastic sea- son, nothing could be done to get the fans to attend the games. We stood on top of tables, scream- ing and everything, said Tanya Fogle after the season was over. But even the call made by Tanya and Amy May to the principal was in vain. Only 37 tick- ets were bought by Lafayette fans to the opening game of the state tournament, and that figure included band mem- bers. However, F ogle also said that the outstanding season will probably help to draw more fans next year. The season went smoothly against local teams, only one game was lost early in the season and that was against Bryan Station. Outside the district, however, the competition was tough. In matches where Lafayette was expected to be blown away, they made a game out of it. Headed by leading field goal shooter Tanya Fogle and leading free , AY 1 4 WITHO T throw shooter Lea Wise, Lafayette aver- aged 55 points per game, while holding their opponents to just 44 points per game. The climax of the season came in the regional tournament against Lexington Catholic, when junior forward Brenda fBooJ Smith scored 24 points and snatched 14 rebounds to lead the Gen- erals to a walloping 58-40 victory. When the honors were passed out after the game, Smith was passed by and Amy May, Tanya Fogle and Lea Wise received awards. Coach Kathy Neal said that Smith was missed because the honors were voted on before the game. And then came Assumption. Lafayette was plagued with injuries, and the flu epidemic didn't help mat- ters. Assumption gained a 30-23 lead in the first half, and things looked grim for Lafayette. At the end of the third quar- ter the lead had been cut to 4 points and in the fourth quarter Lafayette finally tied it at 43 all. Tanya Fogle sunk a pair of free throws to put Lafayette in the lead for the first time. The game remained close, until, with 1:50 left on the clock, Assumption took the lead to stay, and ended a girls' bas- ketball season that saw few fans and many victories.

M-:W . nv- w . ua s I' Q00 By Lowell Press We thought we'd be great his year, said Coach Scott Brewer after Lafayet- te's 1977-78 wrestling season. But a team that three years ago captured its third regional title in a row, came out of the '78 season disappointed. The Gen- erals went 8-3 this year, capturing third in the Lexington Invitational Tourna- ment and finishing fourth out of eleven teams in the regional meet at Tates Creek. Mike Hammel and David Butler made it to the state, but the team did not. The sonw as a contributing factor to the disappointing season. Practice began in November and was brought to a slow-down in Ianuary be- cause of snow. Coach Brewer said that because wrestlers could not get the practice, they got out of shape and gained weight. When action resumed in February, some of the wrestlers had to go on drastic diets to get back into their weight classes. When asked how he dieted, junior wrestler Greg Crutcher said, The day before a match you hardly eat at all. He also said that the coaches helped a lot in practice through heavy exercising and a lot of running. But the snow was not the only thing that hurt this year's team. The team lost a lot of wrestlers for various reasons and Brewer said that the team was young and inexperienced. Brewer also said that he did not believe in pep talks, just straight coaching. But one wrestler said that he thought pep talks might motivate the squad. The '79 squad will be without its ex- perienced seniors: Todd Perry, lack Hillard, Buford Smith, Mike Mattingly, Ioey Freeman, David Butler, statis- ticians Carol Sullivan and Cathy Sulli- van and trainer Tim Biggs. But the younger wrestlers will gain from expe- rience and hopefully, snow will not continue to be an obstacle in the up- coming season. ..4'mn'1'h 'll E . mi- 9 'K Nw . . l . 1 L L ' SOFTBAII: A New Beeinnine ' ' ' tt ik , ' ...any , eu wk., M.,6,4m.QN.Q.,f -an.. kiwi ' ' ti. mme' ,- ,.

This is indicated by their narrow losses to Bryan Station 8-7 and to Woodford County 6-5 in thirteen innings. Two points was the largest margin the Gen- erals ever lost by this year. The weather again was a problem for a while, not in the form of snow, but rain. Several of the earlier games were rained out. Finally, after getting off to a slow start, coach Lynne Brown and manager Mike Bartholomew were able to work two days a week with the girls.

This year the General gymnasts swung to victory in the girls' Regional meet and placed Znd in the State meet. Tammy Dowden and Suellyn Anderson led the team finishing first and third respectively in the Regional and Tammy again took second in the State all-around competition. She placed first in the Regional in all four events - floor exercise, balance beam, vaulting, and a tie for first on the uneven parallel bars. Suellyn was close behind with a finish of either third, fourth, or fifth in each event. Donna Gifford placed with a tie for seventh on the bars. There was a difference of only .15 of a point between first and second place in the State team totals with Lafayette dropping to second behind Henry Clay. Even though the boys did not place in either meet, Sherman Snyder, Steve LaLonde, Louis Estes, 8: Bill Osten dis- played ability in their performances. Sherman finished fifth in the State in the floor exercise. Coached by Tom Fee, the lady gym- nasts finished with an impressive record. Encouragement for more gym- nastic support came this year with an exhibition of high school tumblers lin- cluding several Lafayette performersj before the student body. The Generals can look forward to a good year in '79 because of the talent of the returning team. 'r U I , U. , -- -WW' I :' ' ,....... E .iz Nil , --M.mmu,L. .

This year's team can also be proud of pulling ends together on their own. Lacking funds to pay for practice time, several players arranged to work at Lexington's Aqua- tic Club in exchange for hours in the water. With this same vigor the team attacked practice, helping and en- couraging one another and using the time to its fullest extent. This is the first year of coed water polo, and the three female members were expected work just as hard as the others. Hard work is nothing new to Dede Vineyard, Melinda Morgan, and Lisa Hayes, as all three are members of the swim team as well, Dede and Lisa have been swimming several years for the local AAU team, GLSA, and playing polo for that club. Both are very ac- complished swimmers and aggressive water polo players. Melinda had never played the game until this year and had to learn the rules the hard way. But the spirit of the varsity cheerleader kept everyone motivated. Most of the boys learned to play polo about the time they learned to walk. John Ulmer, Ieff Mortimer, and Iohn West have played and won together for years in AAU competition. Having played together so long. these boys seem to create miracles by hitting shots that donit exist or in- venting plays which leave opponents stunned. It was not surprising that Ieff received the Most Valuable Player award and Iohn Ulmer was the high point man with 18 points, followed closely by Iohn West who had 16 points in this year's State championship. But it takes a whole team to win and the experiences of the other players was very necessary in achieving victory. lim Wilhite and Win Lambson have also played polo in AAU competition for the past couple of years. lim scored a strong 9 points and Win did his share with 3 points of his own in the State. Roland Gahafer and Kevin Tipton are also ex- perienced. Both swam for the local YMCA team, and both played excep- tionally well for Lafayette. The last two were both rookies. but it seldom showed.

The other new player was Gary Bunch. Although Gary was new to polo, he was definitely not new to the water. In fact, he is probably the fastest swimmer in the state, hold- ing the record for the 100 meter free- style. Gary's speed quickly eliminated any doubt about his playing ability, as he easily retrieved the ball in the swim-offs at the start of each game. Gary, a sophomore, is not easy to miss as he stands better than 6 feet. Lafayette anticipated heavy competi- tion in the State. But after an unde- feated season it would have been hard to hand over the title. With this in mind, the team defeated Danville 18-3 in the first game, Ashland's B team 28-2 in the second, and their A team 15-1 in the final game. With such out- standing playing, several Lafayette players made All-State. They were: Ieff Mortimer IMVPJ, John Ulmer, John West, lim Wilhite, and Roland Gahafer. Mrs. Karen Vanover, coach of the team, expressed pride in all of the players. Al- though winning was nothing new for the General's water polo team, every victory was sweet.

Third baseman Kerry Ball's four hits in as many at-bats against Hazard helped to provide Lafayette with win number 10. This streak ended, how- ever, as Hazard jumped on top quickly during the second game, and never let the Generals catch up. This blemish on the record meant little to the squad, for they knew that somewhere a loss would come. What they hadn't planned on was losing two in a row. This time always tough Madison Central set the Generals down for their second straight defeat. It took eight innings and a two-run homer by the Indians to determine the out- come. Lafayette's usually potent of- fense was held to just five hits, while mound ace jeff Parrett suffered his first loss in two seasons. The Generals got back on the win- ning track with wins over Franklin Co., Powell Co., and Lexington Catholic be- fore journeying to Louisville for two games with Fairdale. junior Alvin Haynes tossed a four-hit shutout at the Flyers, as Lafayette squeezed by 2-0. The latter two victories saw the hitting return to form as 23 and 14 runs were scored respectively. Sophomore hurler Greg Taylor won his second game in as many starts, and led the hitting assault against Powell with 3 hits and 8 RBI's. The Catholic game saw Lafayette score all of its runs in the first two innings, aided by Brandt Ely's two home runs, catcher Lonnie Potter's grand slam, and a solo shot by left fielder Allen Steele. So the big Red Machine rolled into the Derby City with high spirits to tackle Fairdale. The team could muster only a split of the twinbill, though, as they pounded the Louisvillians 10-0 on Larison's seven-hitter in the first game, but were defeated 2-1 in the nightcap. The Generals stretched their record to 18-3 with triumphs over Henry Clay flast of the city teams to fallj, Estill County twice, and Bryan Station. Par- rett extended his record to 4-1 with the win over the Blue Devils, while Larison remained unbeaten with two more vic- tories. Another pitcher, Roger Madison, won the game to even his mound mark at 2-2. The regular season ended with a twi-night double-header against Tates Creek. jerry Larison kept the Commo- dores off balance throughout the first game, but gave way to jeff Parrett in the seventh inning as Lafayette held on to win 5-3. The big blow was a two-run 86 blast by Lonnie Potter. First baseman Danny Wahl also turned in a brilliant defensive performance, as he saved numerous errant throws. The finale saw T.C. play flawlessly and hand the Gen- erals a 6-1 setback. After giving up an early run, the Creekers held Lafayette scoreless for the remainder of the game, and thus ended the Big L's bid for a 20 win season. All of these 23 games led to the dis- trict tournament. The Generals and Commodores, though, would have to wait a day, for rain cancelled their Monday afternoon game. But Tuesday found both teams un- nerved as they squared off for battle. Caudill's crew found out that Tates Creek for rather Tony Mackj meant business in the first inning. Mack, who had struggled through the season, gave up a one out single to Brandt Ely, but followed with two strikeouts to end the inning. The bottom half of the frame saw Mack help his own cause by rip- ping a two-run homer over the left center field fence. The Generals tied the game in the third. Designated hitter Alvin Haynes socked an opposite field home run to lead off the inning. Ely lashed a one out single off Mack's leg, and seconds later, stole second base. Tim Anderson deli- vered the tying run with a single up the middle. Tates Creek countered with four big runs in the bottom of the third and took a 6-2 lead. Parrett was removed during the onslaught and replaced by the un- beaten Larison, who tamed the Creekers and kept them scoreless for the rest of the contest. Likewise, Lafayette could produce no runs until the final inning. Facing their last chance, the Generals showed a bit of the flare that had brought them such success during the season. Haynes led off with a walk, and one out later, advanced to second on Ely's third single of the game. Lonnie Potter calmly jumped on a Mack fastball, bouncing it over the fence in left for a f Q . ac-aww ground-rule double. Lafayette could wish for nothing bet- ter, because its star hitter, Anderson, stepped in to face Mack with two run- ners on and the score 6-3. But Mack got Anderson to pop up to the first base- man for out number two. Things began to look dim. Allen Steele responded to the pressure by smashing a single to center, which plated both Ely and Potter and allowed Steele to take second base on the throw home. With the score 6-5, junior Iack Adams faced Mack and took him to a full count. But the bubble burst on Adams and his cohorts as he swung through a fastball for the last strike and final out. Many General fans sat in amazement, as once again, they had witnessed their team fall early in post-season action. fTates Creek went on to capture the State titlej. Most were accustomed to this misfortune and strode with their heads high, knowing that the Big Red Machine would once again invade Shively with hopes of breaking its jinx. ,Q ,, ,N .

BY PRESS With numerous cancellations and a disqualification, the 1977 - '78 boys' golf season proved to be one of Lafayet- te's shortest. There was little time to practice before the season got under way, and conditions during the season were poor. Rains and cold weather hurt everyone's game and caused cancella- tions which could have had either a positive or negative effect on Lafay- ette's standing. In regular season play the Generals went 5-4, winning all their matches against Bryan Station, but losing to Tates Creek and Henry Clay the rest of the time. In tournament play the team .

BY R ' When Ioyce Roser placed 2nd and Angie Iones placed 3rd in regional play at Shelbyville, any further skepticism about Lafayette's girls golf team was brought to an abrupt halt. We did well, considering the time we had to practice and get ready for the regional, said Coach Kathy Neal of the '77 - '78 season. With a shortage of spring weather, the girls had to suffer through the worst season ever for prac- tice and then face the competition in the rain and cold. Cancellations began to stack up and the regional was ap- proaching quicklyg but this was one cloud that had a silver lining. Going off at 11-1 odds, the Generals crossed the finish line first and didn't stop until they got to the state. All hope is grass, and in time the Generals were gathered unto the soil. The Generals sank to 12th place in the state tournament and remained there. But even buried at 12th, the team has earned a reputation as one of the state's finest. f . an 7. -,- ' x 'r--.-....-T-.--...-.... ' s VN 5, K A 1, . 1 wig! i 'c 'c 5 .

MAYBE EXT YEAR TA YA FOGLE WINS AT STATE Hebert Turner For the 1978 girls track team it was a very disappointing season. They were overshadowed by the boys track team. Also, the girls finished up a very disap- pointing last at the state track meet. Throughout the year the team was led by three seniors: Cathy Bivens, Cecy Morgan and Tanya Fogle. Iunior Speedster Kerry Wanner carried the sprinting section of the girls team. They helped the girls team to the regional track meet at U.K.'s Shively Sports Center. At this meet, the Generals Lady Tracksters went up against teams from around Lexington and vicinity. The girls who qualified at the regional meet were Cathy Bivens in the 880 yard dash and Tanya Fogle in the shot put. 'R .- -.. . x. . 4... r ,nn ' .- l ' A . -4-1,1-7' 1 . At the state meet Tanya Fogle won the girls Class AA shot put title. Her victory was the one and only victory at the state meet, and that pretty well ended the 1978 girls' track season. To sum up the season Coach Arnold said, If the girls in this school would come out and put to use their ability, then Lafayette could be serious competition once again. ,,,., -A-9 - I ,Z -.. ..,..- . ,W -4-1, U1-.

Aside from Q obvious necessity of good players, 3 team needs practice time, coaching, and good weather. Well, three out uf four is not bad, and that is exactly what Lafayette had to deal with. The Gener- als practiced in the cramped gymna. sium during the snow, but planned tg make up for it in the spring. However, the coming of spring was also the beginning of the rain. Match after match and practice after practice was rained out. Of twenty-six scheduled matches the girls' team canceled eleven and the boys missed twelve of their twenty three. Not only were these cancellations hard on the players, but the Lafayette girls were also plagued with injuries, sickness, and bad luck. Considering these hardships, it was surprising that the female Generals did as well as they did. Of the fifteen matches the girls competed in, they won ten. This is even more impressive when one realizes how young the girls team was. The 1978 team was made up of three se- niors, two juniors, one freshman, and four eighth-graders. The three graduat- ing seniors are Valerie Wells, Wendy Wood, and Tammy Hurt. Tammy oc- cupied the number one position and has played six years for Lafayette.

She ran into the net post and had to get a few stitches above her left temple. Unfortunately the accident disqualified the girls. Such misfortune only serves to make Maria more deter- mined as she moves into the number one spot for the '79 year. Unlike the girls' team, the boys got off to a slow start. They only won four of their eleven matches, due to the lack of experience. This team was also young, boasting only two seniors, one junior, and six sophomores. The se- niors are Mark Morford and David Mar- tin. David maintained a close race for the number one seat with junior Robby Oliver. Both seniors admit that al- though the '78 season was weak, the Generals can look forward to some great teams as they gain more experi- ence. Coach Harry Gordon agreed with this, and went on to say that the boys had improved a great deal by the end of the season. He, too, looks forward to some fine teams with promising players such as Steve LaLonde, Andy Grimes, and many others. All in all, the '78 tennis season was a memorable one. Although the practices were inconsistent and the matches hard to arrange, the team did their best and came out ahead. To win when swamped with difficulties can only be a sign of strength - a strength that will shine in the '79 year.

It is easy to be impressed by the obvious smoothness and perfection in the attire as well as the organization of the players, the equipment, and the arena. Much to the surprise of many of these fans such or- ganization does not just happen . It is the product of a certain group of stu- dents who spend many extra hours making it happen , These people are the trainers, managers, statisticians, and scorekeepers. Almost all the ath- letic teams have one or more of these, and Lafayette can claim some real ex- perts. If you happened to stay a little late after school last spring you probably noticed the soccer team practicing on the front lawn. You also noticed two quiet, but alert looking girls, sporting y 98 watches, keys, and rings entrusted to them by the players, as well as clip- boards to record statistics. These girls are junior Susan Cohn and senior Mau- reen Connelly. Maureen has been a trainer for the soccer team for three years and Susan a statistician for one year. When questioned as to why they became managerlstatisticianltrainers both agreed that they liked being a part of it all and not just spectators. They also agreed that being the only two girls in a large group of guys wasn't all that bad either. Besides attending every practice the girls' duties included keep- ing track of the equipment, maintaining statistics, bandaging minor injuries, in- spiring the players, and any other odd jobs Coach Miller thought of. Another dedicated behind-the-scenes person is Lee Hall. Only a junior, Lee serves as the Basketball team's head manager. Unlike many managers, Lee is easy to see, hear, and recognize. He M. at V Q x s .fm . . Q gg - 43' by Lisa Hayes 4 ,xx 5 i? 0 Ii x 'N -.W al seems to be everywhere at once. He sees that the uniforms are clean, the equip- ment cared for, the locker rooms neat. He also prepares statistics for the media, keeps track of the players, and attends every practice. Even more prominent than these duties is Lee's en- thusiasm. When questioned about him- self he looked surprised. l'd rather talk about the team than me! He then pro- ceeded to pull a card out of his pocket concerning the best, the most interest- ing, and the most ironic games. The card also included insights of trips, in- cidents, and flukes experienced by the team. Once again it was pointed out that the subject of the interview was him. Lee refused to give himself any credit apart from the team and other workers. We're all real close - coaches, cheerleaders, scorekeepers. When the team loses, we all lose to- getherg when we win, we win to- gether. That statement led to an even more enthusiastic and prophetic one. Lafayette will win the State Tourna- ment next year, going away! We're a 'cod-lock' cinch! As this is as much as Lee would say, a scorekeeper had to be consulted to get the real story. He does everything for the team - scores, aver- ages, statistics, everything. He makes it fun. We'd be lost without him. Such words of praise did not escape Lee's ears, but evoked a 'what-can-I-say' smile. That is the kind of person he isg anyone who knows him never forgets him. Another memorable face is that of the Track team manager Andy Collins. This good looking, dark haired worker does just about everything. He helps keep the statistics, cares for the equipment fwhat little there isj, as well as works with the runners. He is often seen tap- ing knees, calves, and ankles. fThis page -top leftj Lee Hall is busy recording statistics. fTop rightj A concemed look crosses Lee Hall's face. fLower leftj Andy Collins wraps Craig Gillespie's leg. lOpp, page topj Susan Cohn and Maureen Connelly cheer for the soccer team. lOpp. rightj Maureen Connelly is caught off guard. dy, ses re od 81' 31' ID 5 a ter fhe ms all rn s I OH ca- nd se ers LH big WHEN THE TEAM LOSES, WE ALL LOSE TOGETHERQ WHEN WE WIN , WE WIN TOGETHER . n 1 I . .Qt -7 Jn, 1 .

Erica Horn - -- -- '-'73-llY '!T'WL:-W ' THERE LIFE One of the many things a senior in high school must think about is what he is going to do after he graduates. A large portion will attend college, but since college is not suitable or afford- able for everyone there are other altern- atives. The Experience Based Career Educa- tion program is a good start in planning for one's future. Since a students starts in his junior or senior year, he is getting experience in the field in which he's interested. Another alternative to college is the Kentucky Equine Education Program KKEEPJ. This program gives training to people who are interested in the horse industry. It is offered to high school se- niors or anyone who is over 16 years old that has graduated or left high school. When considering people for the program, the student's aptitude and vocational interests are important. The curriculum includes an introduction into the equine industry and everything from stable care and management to the principles of hoof care. Many students will, of course, attend college. They will need to fill out ap- plications and look though college cat- ,, FTER HIGH alogs. In deciding where to attend col- lege, the choice isn't an easy one to make. One thing that needs to be taken into consideration is the particular field in which a person wants to major. If there are students who would like to attend college, but cannot afford it, they can get in touch with the Talent Search counselor. The goal of the Edu- cational Talent Search is to increase the number of eligible individuals pursu- ing postsecondary education. Ms. Lauretta F. Byars is the Talent Search counselor for Lafayette. Ms. Byars said that besides giving students financial aid, the Talent Search also assists the students with college applications, ACT's, and school choices. She added that we take the student from where he is now to where he wants to go. Ms. Byars went on to say that the program is federally funded and that in its six year existence they have placed students in 37 postsecondary institutions. There are many things a student can do after high school. Many will be working to help pay for the continua- tion of their education. Although for most students that will probably mean college, for others it will be the many alternatives to college. SCHOOL . 'WUI K. UML. .

Many of the students have already made these plans and have started preparations to make them become a reality. One senior who has started to make her plans is Kim Boyles. I've applied for admission at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and UK. I would like to major in political science and then go on to law school. Another student who has plans for college is Jimmy Car- son. I hope to attend UK. I'm going to stay at home for at least the first year, though, due to financial reasons. Iill Kobitter made plans different from the others. She graduated at the end of the second 12 weeks. I will continue working with j.C. Penny's as a full time catalog associate until August, then I'll attend UK. I plan to study art and elementary education. Doug Cherry has some very definite plans for after high school. I plan to attend the uni- versity that gives me the best academic scholarship. I will major in computer science and after college I hope to get a prestigious job in a large city. Becky Eastman is another college bound stu- dents. I will be going to UK in the fall so that I can further my education in the area of science so I can then apply for the dental hygiene program at LTI. Keith Hendrix plans to go to college out of state. I'm going to UNC at Chapel Hill. I'll probably major in computer science and be a systems analyst or computer programer. I'll probably work in a computer oriented job while I'm in school. Many students plan to go on to col- lege. As can be seen, these students are already on the way to getting there by making their plans and following through with them. fCenter topj Ms. Byars works very hard to help students make the best choices for the future. lCenter middlej Greg Harman gets high school credits from working at Stone Photography in EBCE. lBottomj jimmy Carson and Kim Boyles study a college handbook to see if it's the place for them. fOpp. pg. topj A student watches his horse to make sure he is well cared for.

X to it viii K Z2 sl ENCQUNTEQCS Much has been said and written this past year about the teaching profession, most of it negative. Teachers were criticized early in the year when the collective bargaining bill was passed. Many believed that now that teachers were armed with this weapon, it would only be a matter of time before a teacher walk-out ensued. Editorials appeared in the local newspapers almost daily criticizing a teachers' union. Yet the school year passed without incident. In March, after the School Board voted to extend the school day one hour and twelve minutes in an effort to make up days lost in january, teachers were once again on the firing line. They were accused of being whiners and com- plainers. They were informed that they were lazy - wanting to be paid for ser- vices that they had not performed. They were told that they had been insubor- dinate in speaking out against the deci- sions of the Board and the Administra- tion. They were even charged with im- planting the idea of a walkout in stu- dents' heads as a means of protesting the extended day. 1978 has perhaps not been the best year for teachers. They have lost much of their credibility and their profes- sionalism has been seriously chal- lenged. Teachers have been viewed in many lights - as overpriced babysitters, sub- stitute parents, money grabbers, and rabble rousers. In spite of all the bad press, there are still some of us who think of teachers as dedicated professionals with the best interests of their students at heart. iiv-'-if J-nb f Cx on ' .A .4-.rl if af' Holly Fox 1'-r-,S 5' - ln .

Many students at Lafayette donit know exactly what col- lective bargaining is. According to Ms, Barbara Sterrett, a math teacher, Col- lective bargaining is a process by which teachers are guaranteed involvement in the decision making process. Whether everyone agrees on that or not can be seen by the varying opinions concern- ing collective bargaining. Mr. Iarnes Barlow, member of the Fayette County Board of Education, is against collective bargaining. He feels that collective bargaining does not make for better teachers and that it means a decline in the educational pro- cess. Mr. Barlow explained that there was no example of better education through bargaining. He went on to say that it,s not just our fear but our knowledge that if we in Lexington fol- low the pattern we are just as sure to head down the road as the sun is to rise tomorrow. Ms. Judy Tipton, another member of the Fayette County Board of Education, has positive feelings about collective bargaining. She feels that teachers are more involved with students than the school administration, and that they don't have to be uninterested in money or fringe benefits to be interested in the students. Reverend Donald Herren, also a member of the Fayette County School Board, agreed with Mr. Barlow's stand on collective bargaining. Rev. Herren explained that the board was an elected body with the responsibility of opera- be Yrs- c G- I N ,..1 J, 1. fi te, IJ. 1. 1. 1 . BY LISA LA FALCE tion and supervision on behalf of the public school system. Rev. Herren also said that before the school board took the initiative and brought the issues to the teacher, but now the teachers bring the issues to the bargaining table and the board members and teachers argue over it. Mary Ann Pierce, president of the Fayette County Education Association, is for collective bargaining. Ms. Pierce feels that collective bargaining changes the morale of the teachers because they are more involved in the decisions that are made. Ms. Pierce went on to say that many of the best schools in the nation are where collective bargaining is in ef- fect. Mrs. Marcia Miller, a Spanish teach- er, is against collective bargaining. She feels that, if teachers are so concerned with bargaining every point then there is no time to teach. She continued by saying that although she has no statis- tics, she thinks that collective bargain- ing leads to strikes. Ms. Loris Points, a history teacher, is for collective bargaining because the collective effort is more persuasive. She believes that teachers in collective groups can exercise greater influence and can identify with issues in which all teachers are concerned such as in- structional materials and class size. Collective bargaining was one of the most controversial issues of the 1977- 78 school year. Although it was heavily debated, the issue was settled on Octo- ber 24, 1977 when the Fayette County Board of Education granted teachers bargaining rights. fTop rightl Ms. Tipton writes down her thoughts during the board meeting. fCenterJ Rev.

In the eyes of many students this is a dreary routine. For twelve years this lack of challenge pushes students to sit at a desk and attempt concentration. This is rather hard when Billy is shoot- ing paper wads at Sally and Lisa is flirt- ing with Tom, the star football player, trying to get a date. Most classrooms have their share of problems, no matter how strict a teacher may be. Even the least of distractions cause students to lose their concentration and interest during class. Students drift easily when distracted because many students aren't interested to begin with. Al- though the smallest distractions can't be completely stopped, possibly the lack of interest can. Lafayette offers students a wide vari- ety of classes where they can arrange their own curriculum. Along with the regular subjects, the Vocational Educa- tional Center has some unusual and in- teresting options available. A few of these options are: Auto Mechanics, Electricity, Health Careers, Horticul- ture, and TV and Radio Repair. A per- son can obtain training and experience in courses like these without attending college. As the 1978-79 school year opens, six areas will be added to the program. Not only will six new areas be added, but a whole new school is being built. This will be the Northside school. The Southside school is going to be moved into the Old Picadome school building. There are very few requirements at- tached to the Vocational school pro- gram. This program is especially for high school students who would like to train in a vocational area. The student interested in vocational training should have a satisfactory scholastic standing, acceptable attendance, and possess an average mechanical ability. One must also be able to follow written and verbal instructions. This program is for Iu- niors and Seniors, and only under spe- cial requirements may sophomores, who must be sixteen years old, attend the vocational school. Also, students must keep appropriate standards of conduct, attendance, classroom work and practical work in order to continue enrollment in the program. The school offers a full two-year pro- gram, or if students wish they can take one year. Classes also extend after high school if one would like to complete training in his area. These classes are held in the evenings and a person can hold a full time job while training. The school pays for needed materials in all classes except Nursing and Welding. Students train for two weeks and train on a job. While on the job they can earn up to 54.50 an hour. Students average S80 a week. Mr. Spotts, the principal of the Vocational schools, says that a per- son is getting paid to go to school. Not only can one earn money, he can also earn credits. Three credits can be earned with each complete school year. The Vocational Educational Center is quite a different step from the normal classroom. This program has many ad- vantages for students who are willing to give it a try. By the time these stu- dents have finished training they can and will make up to S12 an hour, de- pending on the field they are in. Soon they may have enough money to start their own businesses. Many people who attend college for years come out only with an education and certificate, not a job! The Vocational school gives one a job during training, so he will have one after school also! This is a valuable experience for students who are interested in practical application of their skills. I 1 1 V FUIQEIG n mimi rw l As students walked down the crowded halls of Lafayette, they saw two very gpg- cial faces. These were the faces of Saeed Heydarypour and Harald Steen. These students are special because neither are Americans. Saeed very recently moved to Kentucky from Iran and Harald is an ex- change student from Norway. Saeed has lived in Kentucky for eight months. Before coming to the United States he lived in Tehran, Iran. While in Iran, Saeed attended a vocational school for six years. During that time he studied electricity. Saeed then graduated and re- ceived a diploma. After graduation from a school of this type, a student has a choice of getting a job or going to the University. In the school that Saeed attended, there were no special interest groups. There were sports though, such as tennis, swimming, soccer, and bowling. The en- tire time that Saeed lived in Iran, he spoke Persian. This is the native language of his country. Saeed was enrolled as a senior and after graduation he plans to move around and live in a different city. One of Saeedis favorite things to do is dance. He said that discotheques are very popular entertainment in Iran as well as here. While he lived there he danced only as a hobby, but now that he's in America he likes to dance all of the time. Saeed likes all of the boys and girls he has met at school and he thought that the teachers did a really good job. He also likes Ken- tucky. I love the city and the good peo- ple, said Saeed. 0 I2 ClJlT DIE DIFFIIQE T 8 5-me EA Unlike Saeed, Harald is not living in America permanently. He is an ex- change student from Troms, Norway. He lived in Kentucky for 11 months staying the entire time with Kenny Col- lier and his family. Harald felt that the schools in Norway were more academic and more difficult than Lafayette. He thinks students at Lafayette have more fun and more spirit. Harald has become involved in many activities including the Key Club and the cross country team. The social life is about the same here as in Norway although in Norway it is based on staying in one place or relying on the bus, taxi, or walking, said Harald. This is because the driving age in Norway is 18. Harald thought that it was a really good experience being an exchange student. He found out about it from his sister who was an exchange student in Connecticut. I wanted to come to I o B.. - di 'ii s , I QP fi ag I 4.1 Qui' --. 1 Me--W Sf 1 6:4 America because I had heard good and bad things about it and I wanted to find out if they were true. He added that he also wanted to come because of curios- ity, to have fun, and to have travel ex- perience. Even though he really likes America, Harald would rather live in Norway. He would like to come back if he goes to college, though. Harald really liked the teachers here. He felt that the teachers were young in their thinking. He said that the teachers were more on the students' level and that they were kinder. As an example, he said, the teachers wouldn't mind having a party during class once in awhile. , Q gg. E- 'img The students at Lafayette were very grateful to have had the chance to meet Saeed and Harald and understand their thoughts about teen-aged life in their country as well as ours. Both have made many new friends. fig Tv., iq:- .Jv-nft Y- ,. lst 'n'.'7'!'i,..:,ouw- -,, Wa' X' ' .-- , v in --4 -A .,- .- ,4- v-- ' . - -.. - ' 1 H - . .- .... v, .- .. 1. -.. .- 3 --. nxt-J-Q' ' . -.gps - -1 - 1 ., 4 , -.1 . to f 'A I ' - .

Qui Sf H Boredom is a disease from which many high school students suffer. They complain that their classes are boring, their social lives are limited, and their friends are few. Not only does this at- titude affect the individual but also those around him. Since students must spend so much of their time at school it is a shame that they can not enjoy it. The only way to cure boredom is to get involved. It is unfortunate that more students do not realize that they can fit in. There is a place for everyone. A per- son does not have to be a straight A student, an outstanding athlete, or super popular to do so. For beginners there is the Foreign Language Depart- ment. At Lafayette, students may choose from French, Latin, and Spanish. There are no pre-requisites for these courses, therefore, all a person must do is sign- up and then show up. The student gets to learn the customs from the country he is studying as well as learn the lan- guage. There are often parties where students get to cook and sample the na- tive food, and Spanish classes make and break a pinata at Christmas. For those who still want more in- volvement there are five foreign lan- guage clubs at Lafayette. They are French Club, Latin Club, Spanish Club, and for those who excel academically there are Spanish and Latin Honor Societies. These clubs do many things ff f-1 r ,q,,ou? X ,-an 4-S 4 4' . Q 1 Cure For Boredom from initiations to car washes to picnics and parties. This year the French Club went to Louisville to see a play by a French author and sponsored their an- nual bike race. The Latin Club held the Roman Banquet and the Spanish Clubs sponsored an orphan and participated in the State Convention. The Interna- tional Banquet was organized by the entire Foreign Language Department. Students also have the opportunity to participate in other out-of-school ac- tivities, such as the Regional Festival. This enables the student to compete in a chosen category with students from other schools. If he wins, he may com- pete at the State Festival. Spanish stu- dents are also given the opportunity to go to Mexico during the summer. This trip is both educational and fun. French and Spanish students are also able to become exchange students in another country or have a foreign student come live with them. This allows the student to use the language, which is the best way to learn it. Foreign language students can eat the food, learn the customs, and travel to the country, but mostly learn the language, which is the main objective. They will actually be able to communi- cate with the native speaker. After all, communication is the key to under- standing. lCenterJ Sabra Bertrand and Brian Fleming prac- tice their French in the language lab. fTop centerl Iackie Lowe discovers the pleasure of French cooking at the Magic Pan. lTop rightj In prepara- tion for Christmas, Cary Bunch decorates a pifiata. lTop centerl Steve McDonald is trans- ported to ancient Rome during the annual Roman Banquet. lOpp. pg. top leftl Students from Fayette Co. visit the National Cathedral on a summer trip to Mexico City. fOpp. pg. bottom leftl Suellyn Anderson finds Spanish food to her liking at the International Banquet. lOpp. pg. centerj Ex- change students learn from attending classes with other students. fOpp. pg. center rightl Stephanie Millard glances towards the other ini- tiates during the Spanish Honor Society Initia- tion. By Felisa Glenn 117 -ue Fm- OLLEGE... Everywhere we look these days we see someone or something that appears familiar to us. Even though we proba- bly never saw it before, it reminds us of a well-known object. The same is true of high schools and colleges. Many students have found their first few years of college a mirror reflection of their junior and senior years in high school. There was a time when going to college was a change so dramatic that many students chose not to go. Now the transition from high school to college is not much different than that from elementary to junior high. College may be more challenging, nevertheless, the differences are becoming fewer and fewer. If a creature from outer space came to our planet, it is doubtful that he could tell the difference between some high schools and colleges, if indeed, he could comprehend the whole concept of our educational system. By simple appearance this creature would become very confused. Not only would he find the campus, buildings, and classrooms similar, but he would also find that the students resembled each other, even down to the clothes they wore. Furth- ermore, he would also find the atmos- phere much the same. Everyone is in a hurry. conditions are crowded and im- personal, yet there is a freedom to do as one pleases. High school students are beginning to find the freedom they thought only possible in college. Stu- dents realize they do not have to be in class every day, cars may be driven tg school, and because of the size and li- mited security, it is difficult to main- tain a closed campus. It's been said that everything worth- while is worth the trouble. In the midst of scheduling and paying fees many students begin to wonder if this is true. Scheduling is a time of year that both high school and college students have learned to dread. They are forced to juggle the courses they are required to take, courses they want to take, and the times they are available, many times only to find that it won't work. They have made a major breakthrough to simply have decoded the mass of num- bers and letters on the stacks of cards and papers in front of them. The ex- pense is another problem both must face. High school costs are rising though they do not yet compare with those of college. High school students must pay lab and art fees and also purchase any number of workbooks, practice sets, or gym suits for the classes they are taking. There is also an expense in belonging to clubs and or- ganizations, such as: initiation fees, dues, or the expense of buying or rent- ing an instrument for the band. Everyone hears the success stories of the college graduate, while all we hear of the high school graduate is the long, hard mountain he must climb. More and more high schools are gearing their course of study to send the graduate into the world with more skills than LF' L , - , , I S' y 4 X . e're lmost here ! adding a column of figures, diagram- ming a sentence, and reading a basic short story. In teaching practical appli- cation, the high school curriculum be- comes more closely related to the col- lege curriculum. There are many busi- ness classes plus programs like DECA fDistributive Education Clubs of Americaj and EBCE lExperience Based Career Educationj which send the stu- dent into the actual working world. Vocational-Technical training is also available. High school students are also receiving college credit through ad- vanced placement exams and ACT scores in some cases. . In addition to these similarities one would also find comparable athletic programs and extracurricular activities. In place of fraternities and sororities, one would find clubs like KEY CLUB, REVELER, and ESA. Though these are not directly related to the institutions, they are definitely a part of student life. At Homecoming each year, the football fields are graced with pretty girls, im- maculate floats, and school spirit. Though the differences are becoming fewer and fewer, they do exist. The change is not as dramatic as in days gone by. It is simply another step on the stairway of life, leading to our future. There are many reasons for not attend- ing college, but being scared of it should not be one of them. It is only natural to fear the unknown, but col- lege is no longer a galaxy far. far away. Yes - we're almost there. t , 4 4, W Q I U Ll, 'gi . -.,. lTop rightj Laurie Cooper, making final prepara- tions for next year, pulls cards for her schedule. lAboveJ Sanford Salyers finds his instrument one of his largest expenses. fLeftJ Cars line the streets near Lafayette, proving the necessity for addi- tional transportation. lOpp. pg. top leftl Ann Ker- sey displays the college prep look, which is becoming very popular among high school stu- dents. lOpp. pg. bottom leftj Mike Miller wonders B 'WS Hia .t .1 'fb-xg Dt'ffCV8l1Qgp H 'MS 0 .

Co-op is for those students who are really interested in the Cooperatixe office practice while D.E. is for those who prefer merchandising marketing and selling. The pro- grams are run under the same con- ent categories. Mrs. Fugazzi is on release time so that she can run the program. This allows her to teach in the morning and use her after- noons planning soliciting jobs and checking on her kids . T e 1 Co-op program is helpful to stu- dents because it gixes them a foot in the door xx ith an employer some experience for their records and makes them more serious about works along with Mrs. Sue Ann Breeze in the Co-op program. Mrs. lfugazzi is a guide a friend and ex en more importantly she tries to give the students more than what they can find in books.

The Distributive Education and the Deca Club program is where students can have another chance to get a foot into the business ..-is world such as in the Co-op program. Mr. Pen- nock says that he personally enjoys sponsoring the Deca Club because it is designed to go along with the Distributive Education program and gives students in D E an opportunity to mingle together Deca is very helpful to stu dents because it gives them a chance to perform many civic functions a chance to mature so cially and handle leadership responsibilities Mr Pennock said that the program is very suc cessful at Lafayette As a matter of fact Lafayette is ranked 9941 in regional competi tion he says proudly Pennock explains that the Distributive Education program has been in a state of change For the last three years D E has been working on a competency base mate rial for students so that they may proceed at their own rate This gives highly motivated students a chance to produce more work than they might be required to do in a regular class room situation If JVM... f bf' ll N. . . . ,, . . .. . .

'gi f Miss Kay Miller Spanish teacher for 7 years returned this year to teaching after a serious illness that kept her out of the classroom for more than a year. Miss Miller said just walk- ing in the door was hard' it was like starting all over again. I went through what you might call a student-new teacher kind of thing. I guess I m still going through it. I also had to learn a lot of Spanish all over again and it takes time. But I m trying and many of the students appreciate this and give me support. Miss Miller who is the Spanish Club spon- sor organized a tour to Mexico this summer for interested Spanish students. They visited Mexico City Acapulco and Taxco travelling with bi-lingual guides and attending informal classes. Miss Miller s excitement was in observ- ing the cultural shock which in her own words is something to see . She says For the most part I have rapport with the students but some- times I think they forget. I m not blaming them. Its easy to do It just takes time to make the adjustment lat: 1 Lending Mrs. Pat Cook a counselor and advisor has one of the most time-consuming jobs in the school. She is responsible for almost one-fifth of the student body their scheduling and help- ing them to plan for their future. She says We fcounselorsj are academic advisors and as such should help students make good decisions about their courses and plans after high school. Mrs. Cook s counselees agree that she does this very well. Says one She s always willing to see me no matter how small my problem might seem Another agrees She doesn t baby me but she does always offer helpful guidance. She is a friend as well as an advisor in that she wants to deal with students on a one to one basis and not with the statistics If I know a student well as a person I can do a better job of sharing information with that person There is too much emphasis on paper work with the scheduling and working with grades. Lafayette students see Pat Cook not just as a class-changer but as a real person interested in their development Hclpin Hand By ,,,,,,,, Fo, Miss Patti Nickell has been an English teacher at Lafayette for five years. I love teach- ing if I get classes where the students love learning: but many times the Educational sys- tem itself stifles creativity. She would like to see teachers have complete freedom in choos- ing materials for the classroom and also have smaller classes. Miss Nickell also sponsors the Lafayette Marquis. She commented, Doing the yearbook, is like having a second job. Miss Nickell spends about 25-30 extra hours on the book at deadlines I really love working on the yearbook because I have a chance to get to know my staff better than students in other classes Working together gives us the chance to get very close. Programs such as the year- book are very beneficial for students. They are working towards a goal and get to see a finished product this helps them to produce. Miss Nlckell is a very helpful left hand man she guides along the new staffers while they are learning the production of the Marquis F ' 7 4 iq Denny Bonner English teacher and co chairman of the Department says he enjoys teaching in the classroom but hates the ad ministrative paper work that he has Im so busy tied up going to meetings and filling out forms that I dont have time to do the job of teaching that I ought to be doing Bonner uses a very rare technique to motivate his students I make them mad deliberately and get them to disagree with me so they will argue back He looks upon himself as a very firm and structured teacher and 1n this opinion the students seem to concur More than one student upon seeing the Room 194218 on his schedule has run to his counselor to get a more students realize that with Bonner they can get a strong foundation in writing and lit erature Bonner also spends many hours working with the Student Council on their many proyects and he brings to this the same sense of dedication and responsibility that he brings to the classroom He hopes one day to be an ad ministrator but many students at Lafayette hope that the day Denny Bonner leaves the classroom 1S a long way off change, knowing his reputation. But many J' wr DT' . F. wr 1 . . . t 1 ' 'iss SETUOT TTIEITIOTIQS Papers strewn about this place Signs torn from the walls Dusty chalkboards overflowing trash cans Pencil shavings on the floor And 1n1t1als on the desks After twelve years in places like these I sit back to take inventory Of the things that I have learned. Lesson 1: the hardest one of all. How to skip and not get caught! Forged notes wrong numbers And on days we have a substitute. Lesson 2: When to skip! Sunny days, final exams, Theme paper days. and again when We have a substitute. Lesson 3: What to do on days you skip! McDonald's for breakfast, To the lake for a dip. Or to the track to blow some dough. Then there were days when no one came Due to lack of interest. Lack of heat and lots of snow. Next, down to the nitty-grittyg Things you can't help but learn. Ain't ain't a word! Don't eat the experiment! Don't use prepositions to end sentences with' Thirteen over zero is very unlucky! And about sentence fragments! Now the true test of survival: Staying awake during a lecture, After being up all night to type a paper. Writers cramp to finish a test on time, Mid term and report card days, Extended days, after school meetings, Then finally to work a little bit late. All of this and more . . . For what? A silly piece of paper with a fancy bow, Proving I got up at seven I or twelve years in a row, It seems the only thing I've learned is how not to learn a thing. And now as I must say Good-bye to tattered books and friends, I find my brain an empty mess of numbers, dates and conjugated verbs. I peek into my memory bank and among the ruins I find that same familiar building Flaunting the scars we left behind. It's really not as bad as it sounds, For if nothing else I've got memories: Yearbooks, newspapers, ticket stubs, Notes from Zorro, parking tickets, Pressed corsages, a mud stained dress, And the laughter and pain of love, But most of all those many smiling faces. It's just a mark in time, A stop along the way, A place to learn and love, But never to forget. .I BY FELISA GLENN svuW1nup-n.--..,..,L-. ., .

As., as los An outsider viewing Lafayette's campus between 12:30 and 1:30 probably figures that we have one of the most lax security forces any- where. Could that be an officer chatting with the students as they head off campus? Besides, the school day is only half over, right? Well this fact is wrong for about 5870 of the Senior Class. Early dis- missal permits many seniors to take only three or four classes if they have all of their credits. Though not heavily encouraged by the adminis- tration, Principal McHatton ap- proves of early dismissal if the time of early dismissal poo ff wa. 1 1 C D J I C gained is used well. By getting out early, many gain valuable job expe- rience not available to the student with five classes. Though the majority of students departing do leave campus, Officer Bobby Hol- lon said, It's the early dismissals that hang around and get others to skip with them, which cause the only problem for our seemingly lax security force. Yet with it's drawbacks and advantages, early dismissal looks to be part of being a senior for some time to come. By Cyndi Mitchell 17 1 Robert L.

The Class of '78 started off well as it added color to the Home- coming celebration in October with the class float. Colored tis- sue paper and a rainbow ac- cented the class's theme of real- ity. The class was led by Pres. Marshel Reed, Vice-Pres. Mark Sutherland, Sec. Blair Wilhite, and Treas. Laura Darlin. The Senior Class sponsors were Ms. Pat Tatman, Ms. Christy Bear, and Miss Sally Robinson. Some of their projects in- cluded sponsoring two parties at Houdini's as well as the Sen- ior Class dance in the court- yard. The Senior Class made all the arrangements for the senior t1'ip in May. Six busloads of excited seniors rolled out of Lafayette's parking lot at 7 p.m. en route to Kings Island. The student body was able to see the evidence of its hard work all the way up to the Senior luncheon, baccalau- reate, and graduation. The Class of '78 dedicated new stone benches to the school. So, as well as making the campus beautiful and the student body happy, the Senior Class has made its place in the hearts of many classmates, friends, and faculty and staff members. In fact, the Class of '78 reigns sup- reme! pl-J 43 -2:11 i ' 41. pf X 0 f 'Q H I n l FOCUS O BOYS A D GIRLS STATE CONGRATS TO FACULTY CUP RECIPIENTS Iune of last summer marked an important part in the lives of 2 Lafayette seniors. Meme Bux- ton and Marshel Reed both at- tended Boys!Girls State in Iune and were 2 of 13 Lafayette stu- dents chosen to do so. How- ever, both Meme and Marshel were elected attorney gen- eral in the 2 Kentucky State Conferences. Girls State was held at Morehead State Univer- sity and Boys State was held at Eastern Kentucky University. Playing roles of government of- ficials helped both Marshel and Meme to understand govern- ment functions. The 2 seniors had an opportunity to sit in on mock-senate deliberations on bills proposed by boys and girls from around the state. Students who attended learned about politics and citi- zenship. Meme Buxton and Marshel Reed each considered the Kentucky State Conferences to be very worthwhile and en- joyable. Lafayette High School considers it a great honor to be acquainted with not only 1, but 2 attorney generals. s R J V , I.. Besides prom night and graduation, one of the most ex- citing events in a senior's life is awards night. That is the night when all students receive awards for outstanding achievement in different areas. However, that special night fo- cuses on the senior. Several awards are presented in honor of the outstanding graduating senior with the most important one being the Faculty Cup. The Faculty Cup is presented to both a boy and a girl that are recommended highly by the majority of faculty members and are considered to be of good character and academ- ically inclined. The recipients of this year's Faculty awards were Teofilo Rebagay and Blair Wilhite. Teofilo was the 1977- 1978 Student Council president and Blair was the secretary of the Senior Class.

It is very fitting that we should end twelve years of hard work and graduate in Rupp Arena. To me that is the ultimate. Mike Beck It was an exciting experience for us to have been the graduating class at Rupp Arena. Denise Rardin The year 1978 brought with it a bad winter, extended ses- sions, controversial chaos, a muddy prom, and last but not least, graduation exercises in Lexington's Rupp Arena. What a contract! However, gradua- tion in Rupp Arena had its drawbacks even though it sounded like a dream. The cost to rent the Arena was totally unreal - approximately S7000.00. Rupp Arena was used for the ceremony because Memorial Coliseum could not accommodate the high school graduates on the weekend of Iune 17th. The closest opening was on Iune 10th and that was out of the question since there was a whole week of school left. Although the idea sounded preposterous, it soon caught on and the Class of '78 began to like the idea of being the first graduating class under the roof of Rupp Arena. Several stu- dents were interviewed con- cerning their feelings toward the subject and their comments are listed in Spotlight in the News. 7.1111 We had a lot of Hrsts in our Senior year, but the best one was to be the first to graduate at Rupp Arena. - Carolyn Flynn M! an Y , 7 ,J l g , I first Well, I think it's great to have graduated in Rupp Arena since that is where the Wildcats play, but the cost was a little ridiculous.

It was a very important night for one of the girls in particular. This special Tuesday was the night of the Iunior Miss pageant. Senior girls from the Fayette County high schools participated. However, only' one could be the winner and the lucky one was Lafayette se- nior Wendy Wood.

The other Lafayette can- didates were Michelle Paul, Sally Kelton, Laura Wesley, Tammy liasley, lo lillen Pike, Lisa Plymale, and Tina Stam- haugh. jo lillen Pike was cho- sen 2nd runner-up in the pageant.

'- ' TI! - X At the end of every year, juniors leave for vacation to return as seniors, hoping to survive their senior year with the least amount of effort and wondering, Exactly what does it take to survive at Lafayette? The LHS survival kit has all the an- swers for the senior-to-be and is essen- tial for a worry-free senior year. It is available in the front office and can be purchased anytime other than before or during classes, and before or after .l school. The first and most basic item in the kit is a note from Mommy. This miracle worker enables the student to leave campus at lunch, enter school late, leave school early, miss school entirely, get books from the car, go to the races, keep a doctor's appointment and get an excused absence. What would we do without Mom? The next item in the kit, the hall pass, entitles the senior to frivolous benefits x, , P, - ' . 3 3 . Q viii, W inf. I N x Ivy A v 2 as ,, .M bp? A V.

A master key to all the bathrooms is the third object in the kit, for almost everyone has sprinted down the hall in dire need, only to find the restroom door locked. Alternatives in this situa- tion are better left unsaid. With a hall pass and a key, the next logical article is a portable roll of toilet paper, vital because there is never any in the john. 1. ,VV A i. fr' ur I RW I 'Z'- fi ff The final item is a pair of ear muffs. These are used daily during the morn- ing announcements and enable a stu- dent to block out the noise and add an extra thirty minutes to class time. If every student had used ear muffs from the kit last year, there would have been three less snow days. Senior survival kits are a real bargain, but they aren't available to the entire student body, just juniors preparing for Seniority. g 55 ! x in Q 5 ,Tj mg-LX 'Ut 2 Q Y t r ISK rv ---r Q . , 't kg! 1 L .'..l -A, K 'V 1 ' ' 'NX I CHX Amy Blevins Bemie Bloemer Becky Blom Robin Boggs Brian Bogie Robert Bolson Carey Bouvin William Bowles Ioyce Bowman Bett Bowser Wesley Braden Sandra Bradshaw Eric Brown Sandra Brown Vickie Brown Debbie Buban Barry Buchanan Tommy Buford Barbara Bullock Gary Burrows Garrett Burton Kathy Butler William Buxton Martha Buyher Mary Campbell Keith Carroll Debbie Cecil Debbie Champlin Lisa Childs Iacqie Christian 4 Ted Churchman Cheryl Cinnamond Karen Clark Keith Clark Lara Clark Jim Cloud Margaret Cloud Matthew Cloud Susan Cohn Iulie Cole Iames Coleman Ken Collier Andy Collins Scott Collins Tammy Colliver Alan Combs Arnie Combs Mark Comley Robby Cooley Terrance Coomer Laurie Cooper Robin Corman Barry Couch Libby Coyle Pam Coyle Laura Craw eg Tammy Creec Donald Crouch GreiCrutcher Ro in Curtis Lisa Dacci Anna Dale Michelle Dannheiser unior mm' live tix 'Ui 4 K 32' Y-713' .9 .

Over the summer Melinda cut a demo-tape of a song written by her friend and former Lafayette student Bruce Hanks. She then answered an advertisment in the newspaper for King record company. She sent her demo-tape to them and they sent her a contract. She is sched- uled to cut a record for them sometime within the next year. In the meantime, she will be singing with the band Lazar, a band which frequently plays 'Y f, 4 -Q n 224 . Q 4 '5 1-QQX 'S X H-...f llllli UU 4 Aj I issn J ,Ja I K .

The parents who from the football boosters are one good example of what people working together can do. The football boosters' main concern is to raise money to support the football team and the cheerleaders. Projects for the 1977 football season began with parents working at the Blue-grass Air Show, and having two tupperware par- ties that collectively raised close to 851200. The boosters also held a garage sale, and sold Give 'Em Hell, Big L buttons to Lafayette fans. The boosters' biggest funds raiser was running the concession stands at all the home bal1games.This was a big job as well as a sacrifice because the parents must remain in the concession stands, therefore missing the chance to L. 4 x W .

They began deciding how to raise money and then put their projects into motion. They were the Junior class. They were the Class Of '79, Under the leadership of Iunior class sponsor Tim Carson projects such as cookouts, candybar sales, magazine sales, T-shirt sales, a garage sale, and car washes were held throughout the year. Some other unique projects were a swimming party at Spindletopg a trip to Natural Bridge which yielded activities such as hiking, wading, jogging, and rappelingg a Halloween Party mc'd by james Watts with prizes for the best costumes: a Tribute to Elvis by Craig Bronoughg an Easter Danceg and last but not least, junior Class Live , a variety show well presented in the tradition of The Muppet Show . These successful projects not only yielded three thousand dollars for the Iunior-Senior prom, but created a genu- ine friendship among many members of the Class of '79. Tammy Creech C i Being a junior can become very com- plicated. The year is filled with order- ing rings, scheduling for classes, going to ballgames and preparing for the prom. 1978 was especially involved. School was cancelled for Winter storms, there was a mix-up in PSAT math scores, the prom, although ample money was raised, still had to be held on campus and to top it off the class rings were late arriving.

This is easy for some, more dif- ficult for others. Sophomores may seem to adjust smoothly to the Lafayette en- vironment, but how many really have a marked identity? Their very newness isolates them from juniors and seniors who have already established a place for themselves. Their isolation is apparent in several areas - athletics, organizations, and social activities. Very few sophomores can hold a first string position on an athletic team. They can not participate in certain honor clubs until their junior year. They are even prevented from at- tending the prom unless they have a date who is an upperclassman. Not only this, but many sophomores cannot drive which keeps them from joining in many of the extracurricular activities inside and out of school. For many the sophomore year is the most dramatic change, for once again he is low man on the totem pole. Many tenth graders become easily discour- aged, believing the sophomore year is all work and no play. Rather than becoming discouraged, sophomores should look around for ac- .' 2 ir' tim N' ' AX r-r!

They may have to start at the bottom lno one ever became edi- tor of the newspaper without first work- ing on the Staff or President of the Stu- dent Council without serving on a committeej. By finding his own place, a niche where he can make his mark, the sophomore can realize a sense of be- longing and at the same time, be able to feel pride in his own achievements. Getting involved is the key to success in any area. i , , LS, we..

Somewhere between the summer of tenth grade and the fall of eleventh grade they seem to lose that enthusiasm and join their jaded schoolmates in the semi-mature world of Iuniors and Se- niors. As sophomores they make new friends and break old rules. Their new found freedom seems to give them a feeling of companionship for their classmates and a sense of loyalty to their school. They spend their hard earned money on ballgames, spirit X f .,... X 1 ' ' 5 , s ' ,'--....f' 'i AA f. f' 1 L f 1-1- -we Y Mx .e , P, L ,I 1 ll if ll R W' 2 K rw vc - 5.- X 2 If Tiff .

They support every organization from the DECA club to the Yearbook. The endless stream of homework never dulls their youthful flair. They must be weaned gradually away from the textbooks and on to the Cliff Notes, but it's a process that seems inevitable. They carry on with their happy-go- lucky ways and never seem to notice they are different from anyone else. They go to classes, roam the halls, and sit at the lunch tables with everyone else, but they are still separate. They are still the unmolded clay. Maybe learn- ing to fit into the mold is what dulls their enthusiasm and makes them part of the endless stream of faces that are startling in their sameness. More optimistically, perhaps it is the element of time, that like wine, adds a sharp edge to the otherwise naive sophomore. The Latin word sophomore meaning wise fool seems to be a paradox. For how can one be a fool and still be said to possess wisdom? Perhaps when he is foolish enough to believe he can do anything, and wise enough to con- stantly try. .

You can not go into the library until you have your cards. Not the blue one, get the yellow one! What a change. Different scheduling tables, cards, and semesters. What ever happened to the good old days when you told the counselor what classes you wanted and she arranged them for you so they came out just right? What event occurred and made such an overt change in your life? You left junior high and became a sophomore. Now it's up to you to decide what classes you want to take, all by yourself. Of course, the counselors will still help you, but you must make the decision for your- self. Many things influence the choice of a student's schedule - his interests, the credits he needs to graduate, and his future career, but more importantly, which classes his friends are in, which teachers are the easiest, and which lunch period he will eat. So what's the problem - it should be simple. 176 GETTING INVOLVED To enjoy the opportunities presented to you as a sophomore you need to smile and make good friends, according to Carla Murphy and Michelle Demarest. Carla and Michelle are both very active sophomores in the class of 1980. Carla, a member of the junior varsity cheerleading squad, thinks that all sophs have the same op- portunities to get involved and should take these opportunities to get the most from their years in high school. Michelle is a member of the Lafayette track team. When asked about the dif- ference in student involvement in jr. High and High School, Michelle re- plied, Ir. High does not have much to offer. When you reach High School there are so many different clubs and organizations that there is some activity that would interest everyone. Both girls are active members of the Lafayette Student Council, and they find this work both challenging and rewarding. Carla said, Student Coun- cil is a great way to get involved and meet new people. The opportunities are there for all people so why not smile and take advantage of a few? by TRACEY GRAY CDT EASY T0 CARRY ,A, mf, , W Z ni J.V. ENTHUSIASM Enthusiasm is a must for the eight sophomore girls who formed the junior varsity cheerleading squad. The girls, sponsored by Ms. Vanover, captured the regional championship title this year. The squad consisted of: Valerie Mattingly, Jenny Ballard, Lynn Batch- elor, Carla Murphy, Jane Cooper, Martha Mitchell, Shelly Gorham, and Kristen Wilhite. Practice was held every day and each girl had to attend. Much hard work was put into learning the many new routines and cheers that the girls perform during the season. The girls cheer for the Lady Generals basketball team, the soccer team, the junior varsity basketball and football teams. The girls also boost spirit in the stands during the varsity football games. Like their varsity sisters, the girls receive no funds and so must pro- vide for their own uniforms, pom poms, and transportation to games. They don't mind, they only hope their en- thusiasm and spirit is catching. f s ai K f X, , , W . fromlefo sara Mbidllan, Marr Malek and mmm Loy make plans for class activities. fBottornJ J.V. 1980 CLASS AHEAD The sophomore class, led by Sara McClellan, got a late start with elec- tions being held in November for class officers. The December blizzards and freezing Ianuary weather kept the class from working together with any fre- quency. The officers for the class of '80 were: McClellan, Pres.g Mary Man- tzounes, Vice-Pres.g Matt Malek, Sec., and Maria Rangel, Treasurer. This year the sophomore class was very active in many money raising projects to benefit the prom in 1979. They sold fruit cakes in December which brought in about 9679. The class also sold light bulbs and Sponges to the surrounding residents and made a total profit of 95150. The class of '80 planned a variety of ac- tivities in which many students could participate. To make more money, they sponsored a dance at the teenage disco Houdini's. This was only one of the many outings the executive board planned which were intended to in- volve more students and make them feel like a part of Lafayette. While the officers worked long and hard, some- times they were discouraged by the lack of participation of the class as a whole. Said Sara, We're all the soph- omore class - we should all get in- volved. f 4 cheerleaders lead fans in backing the Genq'a.lsxK ' ., , ,,'f , , wwf fOpp. pg. topl Carla Murphy and Michellelik-5 marest advertise the Walk forl'Mankind, hoping to get support from the sophomore class. fOpp. pg. 5 , bottoml Schedulin proves to be a tryin experi- . .mga S S ence for some sophomores. , f, gif 177 ANGUAGE CLUBS I .--N , fam.- ,f-v 1' Z 'ff 'x V JN ,pk fag 1-, 1 Lqfg ff?

The 1977-78 school year offered a va- riety of activities. Some of those offered were in the form of Spanish Club, French Club, Latin Club, Spanish Honor Society and Latin Honor Society. These five clubs are open to foreign language students and honor students. They held meetings, elected officers and then . . . the action began. The Spanish Club and the Spanish Honor Society held fiestas , taco parties, car Washes and entered the Foreign Lan- guage Festival. The Latin Club and Latin Honor So- ciety presented a Latin banquet with Latin costumes and skits. The French Club went out to dinner, and participated in the sister city ex- change program with Deauville, France. All five clubs jointly presented the International dinner in the cafeteria.

Does this statistic mean that Lafayette is full of brilliant students? To become a member of the National Honor Society a senior must have a 3.45 grade average and a junior must have a 3.75 average. The four things that the club looks for in new members are character, scholarship, leadership, and a service attitude. The club is primarily an Honorary Service Committee. Last school year the club had quite a few projects. On Dec. 12, 1977 the initi- ation for members was held. The club also had a pot-luck dinner at Mrs. Voss's house where Dr. Voss lectured. When it came time to give to the Georgetown Orphanage the Honor So- ciety challenged other clubs to match their pledge.

The Beta Club is a ser- vice organization that raises money to help others. To become a member of Beta Club a senior must have a 3.2 grade average, a junior a 3.5 average, and a sophomore a 3.7 average. In the school year of 1977-78 the Beta Club raised money to help the Home Ec. Department. Beta Club gave the Home Ec. Department a new punch bowl. Hush buttons, a fairly new project at Lafayette, was run last year by the Beta Club. The club also cleaned up the grounds around the tennis courts. There were two projects held for the members, one was the initiation of new members, and the other was a picnic. fTop leftj Tony Sills and Mrs. Sloan listen closely as president Helen Wachs explains the club pic- nic. fTop rightj As she watches her group plan their events Mrs. Caldwell silently meditates. fBOtt0II1J When they are all gathered together the Beta club has the largest membership. 3 fl .1 Ei ' ' EL133 LET?

And if you are preparing to be a businessperson, a homemaker or a mathematician, Lafayette has a place for you. If you are a hopeful businessperson there is the Future Business Leaders of America. This is offered to all business students. During the 1977-78 year the F.B.L.A. members gathered for meet- ings, parties and picnics. Many mem- bers could be spotted in the halls wear- ing their F.B.L.A. T-shirts. Perhaps homemaking is your inter- est. If so, the Future Homemakers of America meet regularly at Lafayette. The club is open to any student who is taking or has taken home economics. The club is just getting on it's feet as it is in the second year after a four year absence. For all the future mathematic hope- fuls, Mu Alpha Theta offers a chance to further mathematical ability during regular meetings. It also offers a chance to be with other outstanding math stu- dents during activities like the Mu Alpha Theta picnic. lTopJ MAO fleftj Bonnie Whitt patiently roasts her dinner at FBLA picnic. lcenterl Tony Sills studies map directing him to the picnic. lopp. pg. topj FBLA. lopp. pg. leftj FHA lcenterj Lisa Dacci pauses for drink after FBLA activities. 'llll A group of students have gathered together to publish a magazine of liter- ary arts. The publication is known as the Laurel . The Laurel staff members sold subscriptions, had fund-raising projects, drew layouts, selected artwork, and typed copy, to produce a fine magazine featuring the works of Lafayette students. Producing this magazine requires a good deal of time and effort by the staff members and their sponsor, Ms. Milsow. The editors of the Laurel were Ernest Adams and Manya Upton. The assistant editor was Kurt Haller and the art editor was Mary Carter. To raise money for the publication of the magazine, the staff sponsored the Harvest Happening. The Harvest Hap- pening is an informal gathering for stu- dents to read or sing their works. The Harvest Happening was such a big suc- cess that the members also sponsored a Spring Happening, which was also a great success.

Last year the speech club, sponsored by Mrs. Set- tle, sent five Lafayette students to the South Lexington Optimist Competi- tion. The winners of the competition were Leslie Harrell and Greg Burton. Sam Eden was a major asset to the speech club. Sam received a superior rating in the regional competition and also in the state competition. Other peo- ple receiving superiors in the regional competition were: Stephen Bracher, Kathy Dunn, and Cathy Shannon. The speech club made many fine perfor- mances during the year.

After several foul-ups were straightened out concerning press and photograph errors, it was smooth sailing for the authors of Lafayette's printed page. The staff was led by editor Amy Gal- loway who had only been on the staff one 12 weeks her junior year. She showed great leadership as she stepped behind the editor's desk to begin her term. The staff was also blessed with several photographers, including Eric Pena and Dwayne Delaney. The sports editor, Wendy Wood, was the 1st female sports editor on the newspaper staff. Thus, 1978 became the year of the female as the Marquis staff also had a first-time feminine phenomenon. Hard work and determination along with a helping hand from advisor Becky Humphreys, set the stage for one of the greatest newspaper staffs ever. TQ EEAEJIEIIN' T by f.,m.,.,c.ee.t.

The Marquis staffers were busy putting the 1977-1978 yearbook together which was not an easy task. The year began with an introductory period which involved learning how to write copy, crop pictures, design a lay- out, and obtaining the skills for com- plete yearbook production. The tal- ented staff was led by Editor Becky Henry along with Assistant Editor Iacki Rudd. Lisa Hayes, who was the first female sports editor in the history of Lafayette, performed well as she suc- cessfully covered a vast array of sport- ing events. The yearbook advisor, Patti Nickell, spurred the staff on as they encoun- tered many different pitfalls in the production of the yearbook. One such occurrence which hampered the staff was the bad winter of '78. However, snow or sleet the crew was busily work- ing in order to meet each and every deadline on time. 187 I 4 l '-.--5, x sri xt is 4 Q L, W X 4 . 'fr' 4 .Q . Q 3, -u-vu v SPIRITS Providing school spirit for Lafayette are the Cheerleaders, Pep Club, and Student Council. As always our most active group last year was Student Council. To start the year off the Student Council always holds the Homecoming dance, which proved to be very successful. Along with many other projects they held the Thanksgiving Drive, the MORP dance, PTA clothing drive, Green day which was held on St. Patrick's day, Hat day, and also sent Valentines to students who attend Lafayette. To aid the hand- icapped, Student Council formed SCRAM, which is to help them if a fire should break out in the school. The most outstanding task they performed was getting three calamity days ap- proved by the School Board. Again, Student Council did great in '78, Most everyone has probably noticed the many signs which hang in the halls, gym, and cafeteria during all the ath- letic events. The club which is respon- sible for these is the Pep Club. This year GREA 78 they sold pom-poms, buttons, and cowbells to raise money for material for the signs. They also donated and judged the floats at homecoming. Their main project was the spirit chain and everyone was eligible to win a UK bas- ketball in a drawing. In the year '78 Pep Club did great! The one group you will always see at all athletic events are the Cheerleaders. This past year they competed twice in the F.C.I.T., and the first time they were awarded with second place to the State Champion Cheerleaders. Some of their many projects were dressing up at Hal- loween and giving candy to the football players, giving many parties in honor of the football and basketball players, and visiting the Old Folks Home. To prepare for their busy year they at- tended a camp at Woodson Bend. But as usual they worked hard at practice and cheered great at the games in the year '78, ax fx ff 1-nh' P-1 g --2... iT ca..

Mason Q Three of the fastest growing clubs at Lafayette are the Kappa Gamma Little Sisters, Key Club, and DECA. There was a new club formed last year called Kappa Gamma Little Sisters. It was formed and supervised by the Key Club. Each girl was given a big brother who was in turn, a member of the Key Club. This newly formed ser- vice organization did not have many activities, but there is great promise in its future to become a prominent club at Lafayette. Another outstanding club- which is a prominent club at Lafayette is the Key Club. It consists of only young men with good grade point averages. Last year some of the many projects that Key Club participated in were, the fall orga- nization drive, sponsoring parties at Houdini's, distributing crime preven- tion material to certain neighborhoods, organizing Kappa Gamma Little Sisters, and attending luncheons at the Kiwanis Club during the year. One special project they had was during footballl season. They got together and assisted some of the handicapped students to a football game. Key Club proved to be a great service organization in '78. The DECA Club is a distributive edu- cation career group which was in- volved in many events last year. They attended the Shriner's Hospital, Cardi- nal Hill, and the Orphans Home. Some of the members were chosen to give speeches at the Shriner's Hospital. They also were beneficial to the school by donating much to the Thanksgiving drive. And finally they hosted Beautifi- cation Week.

To some students work- ing in the office may mean just an easy credit, but it is really a demanding course. The helpers are put to work to do jobs to help the secretaries. Library helpers are needed desper- ately for the upcoming year. Helpers in the library check books out, receive books, and put books away. The library helpers also work with the audio visual equipment. The main job of the front office worker is the absentee form that goes out each day. The helpers must receive the absentees, file them, and type them on a stencil to be given to the teachers. The helpers also run a lot of errands for the principals. The helpers also call home for the sick students some of the time. In the counseling office the students biggest job is delivering appointment slips to other students. They also deal with filing, distribution of mail and stencil making. Helpers are allowed to answer the phone and to make students appointments.

LACK OF E ROLLME T FORCES -4 -9 1- .ff -..- X silk ... I . S1 i ,-N5 T 4 At the close of last year more than just the students left. After nine years of service and hard work the ROTC pro- gram left Lafayette last year. Because of a lack of enrollment the program could no longer function. The army supports the ROTC program with money for their equipment but one of their guidelines is that the program must have 100 members. Lafayette was on probation the past couple of years to see if they could pick up enrollment. De- spite intense efforts the enrollment never met the quota. Chief Sallee feels that students' jobs are the main reason for lack of enrollment. The ROTC program doesn't deal just with navy proceduresg the cadets also help people. Chief Sallee takes his cadets down to the Georgetown Or- phanage as often as possible. They play with the children and help clean up and fix the orphanage. Another place the cadets helped was the V.A. Hosp- tial. The cadets liked to visit and enter- tain the patients at the hospital. Like the Band and other organiza- tions the ROTC program had a Parents Association. The parents work to raise money to meet the programs budget. The program is on a 37,000 budget and the parents last year raised S9,000. The parents worked the U.K. football games, held yard sales and had other money raising projects. When the studies are learned and the needy are happy the cadets settle down ROTC GFP CAMPUS to enjoy themselves in their own little family. Last year the traditional Formal Military Ball was held as usual. The Ball was somewhat like the Homecom- ing Festivals held at Lafayette. A sweetheart and her court were chosen for the ball. Robin Curtis was named the balls sweetheart and Becky Roberts was her first runner-up. Another festi- val was the awards dinner held for the cadets. During a year the cadets win quite a few awards for their services and performances. The cadets do not stay here in Lexington all the time: they also visit bases. On one trip the cadets went to Williamsburg, Virginia to live on a base. The cadets ate, slept, and worked on the base. But they also toured Vir- ginia and spent a couple of days on the beach. The last event of the ROTC program for the year and for the program was a picnic. The picnic was held in Iune, it was catered, and the band Commo- dore Express was theEntertainers. The picnic cost between 331,400 and 931,500 for the food and the band. At the picnic the cadets received their last 40 trophies. So really the ROTC program is not a hard core army program. Sure the cadets learn how to shoot, navigate, and discipline themselves, but that's not all. Lafayette suffered a great loss when they lost the ROTC program. fi .A-dl 1 ll ' gn, ., 'S fTopJ Brad Lewis gives a lecture on navigation to the cadets. lMiddle rightj Robin Curtis and Becky Roberts stand at attention as Brad Lewis calls in- spection. fOpp. pg. topl The cadets display their marching banner that means so rnuch to them. lOpp. pg. bottomj Bruce Barber decides that it's time to stand at attention. HYELLGW P CES f What you didn't find in the rest of the book we hope you'll find here. The Lexington merchants influence Lafayette students by offering a variety of things. From pizza to tennis rackets, Generals enjoy free time patronizing the outstanding businesses, restau- rants, and entertainment establish- ments. When free time is shortened by proms and graduation exercises, Lafayette students can be found choos- ing that perfect item from Lexington's stores. Even the everyday things are made special when you take advantage of the quality that is so prevalent in Lexington's finer stores. This same quality is what makes an eveing out more than just another date. Although Lafayette offers fine lunches, they have competition. And although it is against rules to leave campus, the better fast food shops pro- sper. The prosperity experienced by these businesses is not limited to school hours or seasons. When summer arrives business booms. Lexington is proud to have exceptional merchants. Not only are these people good busi- ness men and women, they support civic organizations such as yearbooks.

The Wildcat footballers certainly proved that the successful 1976 season and Peachbowl victory were not flukes. They turned out a 10-1 season and held a top ten ranking throughout the year, despite the setbacks of probation and limited scholarships. Lafayette can claim a stake in their success, as a General Grad, Dallas Owens, went to U.K. on scholarship, and for four years played an instrumental role in the Cats' metamorphosis. I feel tremendous pride in that, re- marked Dallas, I think that with back to back winning seasons and a Peach Bowl victory, U.K. football has gained respectability, and I was just glad to be a part of it all.

The victim of a heart at- tack, Elvis had been a frequent patient at the hospital over the past few years, and had canceled several performances due to exhaustion. Yet thousands of loyal fans spent the weekend at the Civic Center in the hope of getting good seats for his Lexington appearance. Slated for exactly one week after his death, the concert was an easy sell-out, leav- ing approximately 23,000 disappointed fans. The mourners were many, and the Ir.

W WWWW wffx Another year has ended and another book has gone to press. Putting out a quality yearbook must be one of the most difficult jobs there is. You must constantly search for new ideas, and innovative ways of presenting those ideas. You must please the faculty, stu- dents, and advertisers who support the book, and at the same time keep your own artistic integrity. It may be a dif- ficult job, but at the same time it's one of the most rewarding. Seeing the end result, the finished product, makes it all worthwhile. Any teacher who is depressed over the apparent apathy of many of today's students should get involved with a group like this year's staff. They would find their expectations fulfilled a hundred times over. I started this year, sure in my mind that we would not be able to surpass last year's book. My staff had other ideas. This was their book, and it would not be a carbon copy of last year's book or any other book. It was to be a unique record of all the people and events that made up a year. What started as only a concept last summer at a seminar in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and took on a recognizable shape during the course of the year, you have here in your hands. We hope you enjoyed receiving it as much as we en- joyed putting it together for you. When I think of all the people who had a hand in making this book, the list gets to be quite long. There was David White, our publishing representative, who was always there when we needed him, there was Mr. Price, who gave us free rein to create the kind of book we wanted, there were members of the stu- dent body who trusted us enough to buy the book sight unseen. But most of all there was my staff whose talent and enthusiasm shaped the book. We're a very closely knit group, the same way that the band and the football team and the cheerleaders or any group that works together for a common goal is closely knit. If you've never experi- enced this, you can't understand it. I know that sometimes we may seem a little cocky, but that's because we are the only ones who know how to bleed a photograph into the gutter or crop a 5x7 picture so it will fit into a 2x3 space or use an Exacto-knife so that it won't be a lethal weapon. But it's more than that - we not only work together, we play together as well. Sandwiched in be- tween all the 3 a.m. Deadlines were the trips to Cincinnati, the building of a Homecoming float, the football lottery, the Xmas party where Mike Beck be- came Santa Claus, the 2 hour camping trip on I-75, and the countless Egg McMuffins and cups of coffee con- sumed in the Yearbook Room. Togetherness has other meanings as well. The times when 19 people fought over 2 typewriters and 1 scaleograph, and the law of the jungle prevailed. The times when anyone walking past my room was likely to see 19 bodies sprawled in the hall, laying out, pasting up , and pressing down . fFor those of you who might wonder what really goes on up there, those are journalistic termsj. I may be pre- judiced, but I think I work with the greatest bunch of students in the school. There are four people who deserve special recognition. One is Lowell Press. While other students got browner and browner from days spent at Boonesborough, Lowell got whiter and whiter from days and nights spent in his darkroom developing pictures. His mother and father practically forgot what he looked like and once almost called the police because they thought a stranger was trying to break into the house at 3:00 a.m. Lowell's dedication and great pictures were invaluable. Without Lisa Tudor's assistance, I wouldn't have made it through the year as smoothly as I did. Not only did she take on the unenviable task of collecting ad revenue, but she helped me to main- tain my sanity. When I was in a state of panic thinking I had mislaid an impor- tant shipping order, she would calmly remind me that I had temporarily filed it in the drawer with my delin- quent book cards. That this book got printed at all is due in large part to Lisa. Now comes the hard part - saying goodbye to Becky and Iacki. I had somehow come to believe they would be around as long as I was. I recruited them both from my sophomore English class 3 years ago when they were too naive to know what they were getting into, and then groomed them for the exalted positions of Editor and Asst. Editor. I think this book is a tribute to how well they learned their jobs. I know they have made a lasting impres- sion on my life and I like to think I have done the same for them. Patti Nickell sU ft N Allow me to set the scene: Lisa Hayes is seated in the back of the room, solving the love-life problems of Lisa LaFalce, Tracey Gray, Lisa Tudor, etc. Wendy Wood strolls in and plants herself atop a desk and begins to give female staff members a sex quiz she found in her Glamour magazine. Blair Wilhite walks in swearing that she can't possibly meet this deadline, and Holly Fox enters shortly thereafter modeling her 999th hair-do of the year. The silence is broken by the voice of Iacki Rudd, declaring from the year- book room, I'm secretly in love with Kenny Collier! , which sends Kenny to the room with Tammy Creech in hot pursuit. Robert Turner raises his head from the keys of his typewriter to ask if anyone knows how to spell Lafayette. Michael Beck rests quietly, studying his long-lost football pictures, wishing they had arrived before his layout went to press. Cyndi Mitchell and Cathy Mason discuss the events of the day while gazing into the sunny afternoon, as Meme Buxton labors over how to crop a picture with a difficult angle. In saunters Lowell The Flash Press, camera slung over his shoulder, and with that air of calm assurance, he dares anyone to ask for pictures. Donna Mullins starts to speak, then thinks better of it. Patti Nickell, the endur- ing advisor of this zany group is about to tell Felisa Glenn to try to be quiet for five minutes when Lisa Hayes races across the room with Tracey behind her screaming, Bring back my For- -matt! Bring back my Formatt! And so went many a day in the quiet recesses of sth hour. . . Room 217 . . . The Adventures of the Yearbook Staff . . . T e Eternal Struggle of the Marquis Group. One wonders if it's worth it. What makes someone want to take charge of a crew such as this, I often found myself asking. This year has not been an easy one. We started our year off having no idea as to who our publisher might be an untried photographer and 15 green staff members. Things had to get better Slowly but surely we got into the swing of things - and now after taking on 150 mums spending many an early- morning hour building a Homecoming float lremember that M1chael'?J 3 OO AM deadlines last minute changes on layouts minutes before David White was scheduled to pick them up picture days 543 trips to Transylvania Printing Company a memorable weekend in Cincinnati the highlight of the year an experience none of us is likely to forget as Michael Beck and Tim Marler kept us all entertained it looks like we made it We can sit back pleased and proud of the best yearbook Lafayette has ever seen lwe re only slightly prejudicedj My staff what can be said?

QF BYE MISS NICIKELL! 1977-1978 the silly charades , It's been said again and again Its quite an old adage. Nothing IS truly appreciated until it is gone. Look at it 1 closely. You will find it hits pretty close to home. Don't we, all too often take for granted even the things that are supposed to mean the most to us? High school is a good .example of something taken for granted. It is sad to think that some people never realize how important high school is in the de velopment of tomorrow's adults Our attitudes, our character, our basic moral values are all shaped, molded and seal ed in the short span of 3 years Once we are out, we see things we missed when we were there. We have two I-X, 3 ik g , choices: we can spend the lives in regret + or we can begin to go si to achieve it LZHL 1.

May your ef- forts be rewarded when you are Se- niors. There are 3 types of people: those who watch things happen, those who keep things from happening, and those who make things happen. Which will you be? Keep reaching for those stars, and one day you'll be able to say, Looks like we made it. To the Class of 1980: Remember that your journey along this academic highway has just begun. There will be pitfalls and wrong turns, but if you keep in mind that you're never completely lost, you'll reach your destination safely. Soon, you will begin :Sh of tome? you is offered to you? Do you plan to get more than an academic education while you're here? Make the best of these 3 years and they will last a lifetime. There's so much to experience in high school - the excitement of foot- ball games, the laughter and chatter of gatherings at Burger King, the relief after an important exam, the aura of dances like Homecoming and the Prom, the somberness and sobriety of Gradua- tion. We don't all look back on the op- portunities provided by high school, but we all remember the breathlessness of a close win, the celebration of vic- tories, the agony of defeat, the sadness of parting with friends .... -'Q ir if 2.4-.-. i the serious moments . . . .
