Keeping in tune with your voice and talent. . . .. 1 ' f lp ,- ',', ,gr 1: . ' i - ew -' X ,Y 'nik ...the 3ffS pastime must be eating. Lake Orion itself is proof of that, where the line of hamburger places along M-24 has earned us the nickname, fast-food heaven. Since the Lake Orion Board of Education approved an open lunch program, the students of L.O.H.S. can frequent the restaurant of their choice for lunch instead of having to suffer through another school prepared lunch. A small for- tune can be spent on fast-food, so the high school offers an alternativeg classes where students can learn to cook edible food and eat what they have cooked. Don't get your hopes up though, because you won't become a gourmet cook overnight. What you will become is a high school student who can cook a well-balanced, nourishing meal containing the four food groups, instead of a piece of chocolate cake and a half a bag of potato chips washed down with a bottle of coke' ,W .

Two such peo- ple are Kathy Maclvor who illustrates pictures for a magazine while going to college and Kathy Liddicoatt who sells oil paintings and is going to graduate from MSU this year. The students of L.O.H.S. who were interested in staying in good shape could have done so in numerous ways, one such way being to enroll in the physical fitness class offered at L.O.H.S. during the 1978-79 school year. The students who did so emerged slightly different from the way they had entered the class. The reason for their increased strength, newfound endurance and lost poun- dage was their constant physical ac- tivity one hour a day, for one quarter. The teacher, Mr. Malatin com- mented, The class isn't really that hard. But a few L.O.H.S. students who developed stiffened limbs and joints from the physical fitness class begged to differ with him. Instead of taking one of L.O.H.S.'s many phys. ed. classes some students decided to follow the rest of our country into one of its newest and fastest developing pastimes - jogging. Jogging was for the person who wanted a link with the out-of- doors and at the same time wanted to improve the physical condition of his heart and lungs and body.

THE BACKBONE OF LOHS... ADMINISTRATION MR. MORTELL KINSER, an assistant prin- cipal, checks his calendar before scheduling another meeting. MRS. MARY JEAN BLAZO explains a schedule change to student Christine Birtch. Unfortunately much of the counselor's time ls taken up making schedule changes. At the beginning of the school year students were greeted with the news that the school board wanted to crack down and not let students get away with breaking school and state rules. But in the end it would be Mr. Durls, Mr. Schaible, Mr. Kinser, and the school's faculty who must enforce the rules set by the school board. They are the ones who must check the parking lot for students who are skipping classes, or check passes on students wandering the halls, or check the smoking lounge for under age smokers. It takes a special type of person to take care of students' everyday complaints. But our secretaries try their hardest. 172 Backbone I X.
