Homecoming . . . Indians burn red devils 54-7 H omecoming festivities began a month before the game as class cabinets organized the decorating of the fences and the tradi¬ tional floats. Students frequently stayed after school or met at designat¬ ed houses to work on the various deco¬ rations before the contests. The classes displayed their floats on the night be¬ fore the game during the annual pa¬ rade in Dyer. During a chilly half-time the winners of the yell contest, fence decorations, floats, and all around spirit contest were announced. Seniors placed first in all four events with sophomores taking second with the exception of a fourth place in the yell contest. Juniors placed third overall also with the exception of the yell contest in which they took sec¬ ond. Greg Quiggle (12) and Ranae Grau (12) took the honors of being crowned King and Queen during half¬ time. “I was extremely happy and sur¬ prised when our names were an¬ nounced. I’ll never forget it! ' said Ranae Grau. The Homecoming dance was held the following night. Couples attended the dance which was held in the cafete¬ ria from 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm. The price of admission was $4.00 a couple and the music was provided by a D.J. “I really enjoyed the dance, but I think a band would have been better. All in all, I had a good time, said Cemal Ozdemir. By Pamela Dan and Chris Sovtch Running through the hoop is a Homecoming tra¬ dition. Varsity players prepare for an upcoming victory. w Homecoming

Look out America Here come more new drivers ultiple Choice: What is purple and goes slam, slam, slam? (A.) Jim Bodner’s 1974 Matador. (B.) The rock group, Shrinking Violets. (C.) A four-door grape. (D.) All of the above. LC students who were new drivers this year now know that the answer can only be (D.) All of the above. It took a lot of study and sweat, but this year LC seemed to produce a bumper-crop of newly licensed Indiana drivers. Learning to be a responsible driver brought pleasure and freedom, however, it also brought a sense of fear. A fear of one student was “mak¬ ing left-hand turns into traffic,” said Kim Gorski, (10). Other students de¬ scribed fears such as not being able to stop in time, sliding on slick pavement, or damaging metal in a “fender-bend¬ er.” Not all of the new drivers dwelt on the frightening possibilities. One stu¬ dent said, “Being able to drive where I want to go is the greatest.” Others felt not having to rely on Mom and Dad was the best part. All started out with class¬ room training, followed by a written test of their knowledge of the rules of the road. Finally, they received a per¬ mit allowing them to practice their skills. They had to be with an adult, 18 years or older, who had a minimum of two years driving experience and a val¬ id license. Most students learned to drive in cars with automatic transmis¬ sions, learning to drive a stick was an¬ other story.
