N-Teens formal sets quiet mood Hoffman and Rhona Justice, freshman Paula Sumner and se¬ nior Joan Davis. The sophomore candidate was Kathy Kelly. Every year each LC girl looks forward to the turn-about N-teens winter formal. This gives them a chance to ask the boy of their choice. Usually the dance is held before Christmas, but this year due to other activities, it was held later. January 16 was the date, which found many girls with their hair done and their date’s cars cleaned. The theme of the formal, “Mid-Winter’s Dream” seemed to fit in beautifully as the snow fell lightly to the ground outside. As the couples entered the lower E-wing doors, they walked down the hall, checked their coats and crossed the bridge into a winter wonderland of snow. The foyer was filled with pine trees sprinkled with snow, covered just as if a Christmas snow had fallen. Nominations for queen were made first by the entire club and then the cabinet picked the final candidates. Then, as the people entered the formal they indicated their choice by their tickets. Senior Lois Mican was crowned queen of the 1971 mid-winter formal. Smiling radia ntly after the announcement of the 1971 formal queen is senior Lois Mican and her court; juniors Jeanette 24 Activities After being crowned queen, Lois Mican and her date, Tom Ahlers, lead the other couples in a coronation dance.

LC fall production, “Wait Until Dark” Conversation silenced, lights dimmed, and the curtain slowly rose to unveil a dark, austere stage upon which two con men, Mike Talman (Roger Hughes) and Sargeant Carlino (Kim Richardson) were having a private discussion. Harry Roat (John Lesniewski) was the villain behind the plot to get control of a heroin-filled doll that had mistakenly fallen into the hands of a professional photographer, Sam Hendrix (Bob Horgash), and his blind wife, Susy (Debe Yankey). The three con men unmercifully took advantage of Susy’s blindness to make her believe that her husband was in¬ volved with another woman in order to locate the doll. Gloria (Dolly Meenan) added her own special touch to the play as a ten-year-old brat. The Thespian Society decided to do a serious drama, which they have not done since the production of “1984”. Even though it was a deviation from the musicals and comedies, it was a fine representation of the contemporary scene, and enjoyed immensely by everyone. An atmosphere of professionalism was evident from the opening line to the last curtain call, due to the many hours put into the production by Mr. and Mrs. Lowe, directors, and the entire Thespian Society. “I ' m blind, there ' s something burning, I can ' t see to locate it, cries Susy Hendrix (Debe Yankey). “I knew they ' d try to kill me the minute they got the doll ” exclaimed Harry Roat (John Lesniewski) to Susy Hendrix.

Class spirit sparks BB homecoming Painting signs, building floats on little red wagons, and yelling chants in the morning through the halls were all a part of the 1971 basketball homecoming. The annual spirit stick for the best hall was awarded to the sophomores. During halftime of the game each class and various clubs drove their floats around the fieldhouse in hopes of winning the trophy. Competition was challenging, but again the sophomore class won. The king and queen contest was held differently this year. There were three couples nominated from the senior class, and one from the other three classes. One of the senior couples were to become the king and queen, and the remaining candidates were to make up their court. This year seniors Dan Perez and Pam Boyer reigned over the fes¬ tivities, while the other senior, junior, and sophomore can¬ didates made up their court. - . Class competition for the Spirit Stick lead to ultimate school spirit during homecoming as shown by senior Diane Graham. Imitating football homecoming, Steve Pozezanac “ drives ” one of the many floats in the parade after the fieldhouse.
