Spirit Lives On The crowd jumped up in a screaming frenzy. Tom Kemph raced down the field with the stolen football. Pom poms flew into the air, cheering and whistles sounded throughout the stands, the band responded with the Navy and White, and smiles appeared on fans’ faces. Laker spirit was alive again. The game ended with a Laker victory. Quickly the rally and the team joined together to sing the alma mater with the mass of students. Everybody, Opposite page: “Go Lakers!

Pilot Joe, LO's peglegged, bearded mascot, seemed to be singing the loudest. Barely finishing the alma mater, the players stormed up to the victory bell and rang it with all their might. The ring pealed through the crisp, autumn night air. The spirit of an old tradition lives on at Lake Oswego High School. The recently restored anchor, the 1956 class gift, represents the Spirit and Loyalty of the Students.

Cabinet Are The Leaders Of Leaders Lake Oswego is noted as a school of excellence. High academic standards, a large percentage of college-bound students, relatively few discipline problems, and a superb sports program all combine to support this reputation. Often overlooked, however, is the uniquely strong role student government plays at LOHS. In the past few years the ASB Cabinet has taken on a new image and a stronger role as a leadership organization both within the school and in the community. At school the Cabinet worked to increase positive interactions. Both students and faculty enjoyed competing against one another in the second Annual ASB sponsored Bowling Tournament. The Science + One'1 team carried off the winner's trophy — a broken bowling pin. On another day, colorful kites — one for each staff member and student at LOHS — filled the halls. Excited voices filled the air as people spotted their own and friends' kites. The Cabinet strengthened the organizational framework for the traditional Mayfete, keeping a tighter grip on the reins. Skits improved and participation increased for a truly successful celebration. The hand of student government reached out into the community to touch a broad spectrum of citizens with new programs. Safe Ride safely delivered drinking teens to their doorsteps; a Senior Citizen luncheon at Christmas cheered the hearts of LO's elderly; a blanket drive warmed Portland s homeless on cold nights; and Peer Teaching taught grade school kids how to say no” to peer pressure. Other established community programs such as the canned food and blood drive and Adopt-a-Family-for-Christmas continued. Because of the many strong programs planned and executed here, other schools have turned to LOHS for leadership training and advice. This year the cabinet presented sessions at state leadership workshop on how to run an effective meeting, peer teaching, how to survey your student body, and how to set up effective student drug and alcohol programs. Last summer LOHS was invited to present a workshop at the National Student Councils Workshop in Rhode Island. I guess you might say we are the leaders of leaders.
