Theironly competitiors tDeep Purple and Black Sabbathl have long since faded into obscurity, and to comparethe Zep with such novices as Van Halen and Foriegner would be ludicrous. The Zep's success derives mainly from their ability to evolve and mature as a band, while also keeping in touch with theirblues- based roots. In Through The Out Door was a prime example of the Zep's adaptibility. Besidesthe usual alleout rockers such as ln The Evening, the album featured a country tune and a calypso inspired number entitled Fool In The Rain The keyboard work ol J. Paul Jones also showed signs of growth, often taking the forefront inthe music.

Another source of confusion was, of course, class schedules. Counselor's offices were packed with students whose second period class had been cancelled, whose schedule showed that they had neither A, B or C lunch, and the usual amount of students who had simply changed their mind about a class they had signed up for. Counselors shuffled schedules, passes and room assignments all week. Mrs. McVay, senior counselor, was heard to say, If we can just get through this first week, things really do get better! Attention was again turned to the parking lot Thursday morning, August 30, as seniors lined up to get their parking stickers. Lines were so long that entrances to the parking lot became clogged with cars that were waiting for stickers those who were not. The junior varsity football squad met Jesuit in a scrimage at Wildcat Stadium at 4:30 Thursday afternoon, while the varsity squad squared off with the opposition at 7:30. Friday morning, sticker lines again caused traffic problems for students. The line for stickers weaved around in circles, and some students waited up to an hour to receive their sticker. The second week of school began with a holiday, Monday September 3. The Labor Day holiday provided everyone with an extra day to recooperate from a rather hectic first week of school, everyone that is except members of the Flag Corps. The Flag Corps was spotted Monday afternoon practicing on the fresh asphalt of the new LH parking lot in preparation for their first performance Friday night. Many athletic organizations, special interest clubs and service groups got off the ground during the first Activities Aug. 26-Sept. 8 two weeks of school. The swim team, the boys' soccer team and both the boys' and girls' gymnastics teams met for the first time of the year. Special interest clubs, such as, Creative Reflections, the Lake Highlands Theater Club, Encore, Fantastic Cinema Productions and the Future Homemakers of America held organizational meetings to kick off the year. The Girls Service League and the Key Club held their first official meetings of the year also. The spirit of red and white shined at the first pep rally of the year. The seniors won the spirit stick while the sophomores looked on in awe. On the sport scene, the LH volleyball team opened the season against Newman-Smith in the LH gym. The Wildcat football team, picked first in district 13AAAA by the polls, clobbered the top-ranked W.t. White Longhorns in Wildcat Stadium, Thursday evening.

Wednesday, Septem- ber 12, sophomores and juniors put their best face forward for their class pictures which were taken by photographer, Bill Bunch in the auditorium. The varsity and the junior varsity volleyball teams met head-on with the Berkner Rams at Berkner. The varsity defeated the rams, but the JV lost by a slim margin at the Tuesday evening confrontation. The Wildcat football team clashed with Nacadoches Friday night, and walked away with another victory. After the game, the senior class sponsored a victory dance in the lunch room. Students wearing a hat could enter the dance for only 31.00, however, other students were charged 51.50 for entrance to the dance. While some bit of routine seemed to settle among the lives of LH students, the fourth week of school continued to supply the student body with a wave of variety. Monday kicked off the week by greeting students with news of their scholastic difficulties--the first progress reports were distributed. If this doom was not enough, Tuesday bombarded students with further gloom. The atmosphere about the community could not help but be dismal as dark clouds dumped the first raindrops of the young school year. However, there was one thing to be thankful for --the new parking lot did not yield to Mother Nature, and there were no signs of cracking or stagnant water. The rain seemed to make the countles club meeting more appropriate since students needed some where to go to escape the rain. Some of the more alert students may have noticed that the females on campus had an unusual array of beauty about them. This was undoubtedly due to the return of Bill Bunch to shoot the senior girls' portraits. Even the faculty may have looked a little mor attractive, as the teachers attended the first session of Mrs. Katha Black's excercise Activities Sept. 9-Sept. 22 class on Wednesday, to shed a few pounds and take on a trimmer, fitter look. To be able to notice this beauty more clearly, the RISD tested students on Thursday to find those who suffered from vision problems. That same night, the girls volleyball team registered a victory against Richardson, as they had done on Tuesday night against Greenville.
