Sophomores captured first place with their theme, “LC Punches Out a Victory”. Seniors placed second and juniors came in third. The Home Ec Club took first place in the decorated car contest with their Volks¬ wagen mouse. Seniors expressed their class pride by taking first place in the annual N-teens Yell Contest. Due to the portable classrooms at Kahler, the tradi¬ tional bonfire was quite unique this year as it blazed ra¬ diantly on the shore of the pond behind the football field. LC’s halls, packed with colorful signs, roared Friday morning as students gave added support to the mighty Indians with cheers and chants. Sophomores again came out on top as they took the Spirit Stick for their winning hall. A new award, the Tomahawk, was presented to the Senior Class for their overall spirit. Battling with the Mustangs from Munster, the Big Blue Machine performed before one of the biggest crowds ever. Despite the roaring crowd and the deafening cheers coming from the pep block. Senior Brad Moore was the only LC player to produce a touchdown as the Indians fought to a 6-6 deadlock. Climaxing the week ' s activities, students relaxed in the cafeteria while listening to the music of the “Dawn Wind .
