Sadie Hawkins, Spirits Were High - and Higher As usual the FHA sponsored another girl ask boy dance at LHPS. Only this year it was a Sadie Hawkins Dance and the atmosphere consisted of a rollicking fun for all. Scarecrows, cows, sheep and hillbillies crowded the scene as the dance band, King Kong , got the music rolling. Kids were seen sprawled on the floor doing the alligator, twisting like mad during a twist contest and once in awhile shuffling from foot to foot during a slow dance. For the serious couples at the get-together, a Marryin' Sam booth was set up. Each couple received a set of pipe-cleaner wedding rings and a marriage license for suckers . Daisy Mae and Lil'Abner candidates were also elected from each class. Penny jugs were set on the office counter with the contes- tants names on them. The class with the most pennies won and was presented with the honor. This year the junior class won with Bruce Wolkow named Lil'Abner and Kathy Nelson named Daisy Mae. The man of the night received a pitch fork with a missing prong and the little lady was awarded a used washboard. The senior, sophomore and freshmen candidates were Pam Lundquist and Merrill Nelson, Ronda Stewart and Brian Shanks and Lori Hasche and Wayne Wienk respectively. This dance proved to be one of the most successful LPHS has seen.

A Part Of The Old West Brought To Life Prom Night A western saloon set the mood for the annual Junior - Senior Prom held May 5. Highlights included a wagon wheel chandlier, an old fashioned piano and a very realistic bar. The entire front entrance had the appear- ance of an old western saloon, including the swinging doors. If anyone had gotten out of hand the sheriff was just outside leisurely rocking in his chair. The events of the evening began with the banquet where a hearty meal was served to the juniors, seniors, faculty, janitors and class parents. Music to keep the kids' heels clicking at the dance which followed was provided by Friends of Mine . For everyone who was willing to keep going the movie, Play Misty For Me , was shown at the theater. To finish the evening a breakfast was held at Susie's Cafe for the juniors, seniors and their dates. The night was a success filled with many memories which made this the year that was.
