' Butterflies are Free ' moves audience Lake Central ' s Theatre Guild opened its fall season with the comedy Butterflies are Free . The story centers on a 22 year old blind boy, Don Baker, (Donn Kasper) who lives by himself in Greenwich Village . His mother (Jonelle Roberts) is certain that Don can ' t make it on his own, and is con¬ stantly trying to get him to move back home with her. Don, however, has his mind made up, and stays where he is. He later meets his next-door neighbor, )ill Tanner, (Carole Ko- remenos) a kooky actress trying to get a real big part in a play. He falls in love with her despite his mother ' s protests, and everything goes fine until the director of Jill ' s new play asks her to move in with him. Jill, not wanting to get any more involved with Don, de¬ cides maybe she should move in with her director to avoid any commitments. The results of her decision and the many other funny , yet emotion-filled scenes, made Butterflies are Free , directed by Mr. Paul and Mrs. Angie Lowe, an¬ other sellout success for LC. Don lies on the couch, ready for a long discussion when the phone rings and he realizes that it ' s mother . Don ' s mother (jonelle Roberts) confronts jill (Carole Koremenos), asking her if she knows what it would be like married to Don. Don (Donn Kasper) listens intently to his newly found friend and neighbor as she recites her favorite quotation, I only ask to be free, butterflies are free . . . 21

LC Band advances to State competition Competition toughened for the marching Indians through the year as the first division rating received at the NISBOVA contest entitled LC to advance to the first annual Indiana State Marching contest. Each band that participated in any of the divisional contests throughout the state and also re¬ ceived a first division rating was permitted to enter the state marching contest. The competition was at Northwest High School in In¬ dianapolis, and schools were judged on a point basis with a possible total of 750. LC gathered 645, placing second only to Jasper, the winning band with 679. The fine routine performed by the marching Indians w as a replica of the NISBOVA show except for the on field march. Proving to an audience of approximately 7,000 that Indians can march as well as dance, LC demonstrated five different styles of marching which included the high- stepping goose step, the knee lifting 8 to 5, and a first for LC, chicken scratching. Although the Indians received the runner up trophy, they returned with heads held high in the realization that the sec¬ ond best band marching band in the entire state of Indiana would never be less than champions. t ! Head drum major Jan Mickey, along with Mr. Doug Jordan, band director, displayed LC ' s newest award, the state runner-up trophy. The Indians exhibit consistency and pride as they march into formation proving that precision and concentration are always essential. Pride was the key word as the Northern Indiana marching champions performed to the fast moving dance routine Gremlin Ball . Intricate steps and precision were some of the factors that contributed to LC ' s success.

Homecoming activities change with age Jersey day, powder puff football, spirit week, and initia¬ tion, each contributed a part to the festivities of the 1973-74 Homeconming. For the first time this year, students participated in a uni¬ fied effort to help express the school spirit buried w ' ithin each individual. Variation from past traditions added a touch of something different to the annual homecoming presentation. The Class of 74 took the spirit trophy in scoring the high¬ est points in hall decoration and float competition with the winning slogan Wooden Shoe like an LC Victory? . The Ju¬ nior Class expressed their school spirit in out yelling the other classes in the N-Teens Veil Contest. New this year was the nomination of four seniors for Homecoming queen with the traditional court made up of one representative from each of the other classes. The an¬ nual homecoming dance also strayed from the past tradi¬ tion . Instead of an exclusively couple affair, the entire stu¬ dent body was invited to the come as you are (except for jeans) occassion. “Tip a Canoe and Warriors too was the catchy slogan displayed by the third place junior Class float. Althought the annual Homecoming dance was open to individual students, couples were still in the majority. The Class of 74 took Homecoming honors by winning the first place trophy in float and hall competitions. Homecoming spirit was exhibited by each class as representatives from the class of 77 proudly display the game hoop. 22
