In Appreciation This year new and abrupt changes came to our school. Because of the great loss of so many students and faculty members who had long been a part of Lake Providence High School, we not only dedicate, but give in appreciation, THE DELTAN of 1970, to all these people who contri- buted so much to our school. Your leaving was not only felt by each of us who remained behind, but even the building seemed saddened by your absence. Although you are physically gone, the love and spirit which you possessed for Lake Providence High School is ever present. Look back on all the fun and cherished moments that you shared at school, and maybe the future can be faced with courage and determination. Remember it with pride and you will remem- ber it as a great school because you gave your part in making it so. The memory of Lake Providence High School as you remember it will be one thing to hold on to many years from now. Hear the ringing of the bell, the bouncing of the ball, the treading of a friend's feet. Think of moments with friends at noon and the silence of the hall after a busy day. And, in those later years you will be one who will say, Lake Providence High School? Yes, I knew it when . . . So, with happiness and sadness, tears and smiles, pride and faith, we give to you, in apprecia- tion, THE DELTAN of 1970. X X K 8 it 2:-, - ' - - A' . N ,:'. Q9 vs I if qi N . ' t aa 2 .

Campus Life 1969-'70 - This was the year that the L,P,H,S campus swelled with activity and spirit. With the starting of a new school year, a new life and bond came over our student body. On Fridays there was an undefinable feeling that enhanced tne halls and classrooms. In the afternoon came spirited pep rallies, and the band performed in a fine fashion. Enthusiasm was depicted with waving streamers, smashing drums, and the distant crackle of clapping hands. Streamers of red, white, and blue fluttered on all the car aerials in town to state with pride that we were Panther fans. Birthdays were special occasions shared by all, and several Panthers were honored on their big day. Hamley Field was invaded on Friday nights by enthusiastic fans who gave their unfailing spirit and support to the Panthers - District 2-A champs. The seriousness of our goals could be witnessed as the faces of our football players showed anxiety on the day of the big game. Our days weren't all filled with fun and games though, as many long hours were spent in study and deep concentration. Much of our time was spent in the library and our neat and spacious cafeteria, which was decorated at different times of the year to give it a much warmer and welcoming atmosphere. The office was the hub of activity, where one, could often catch any one of our teachers in a relaxed and easy manner. Last walks down the hall to our lockers marked with finality the end of another long hard day and the beginning of an even longer study-filled night.
