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.
