p I 'ff A. Welcome to Grijpskerk, Netherlands! the Grijps- kerk band played welcome tunes to Americans of Musi- cal LaGrange. Fright and excitement faced members on their first day in Europe, June 19. B. Ship Ahoy! This was the ship that took ninety-two LaGrange members across the English Channel. The ship consisted of four desks with small and crowded sleeping quarters. C. Being presented with a 4th of July cake at Notting- ham, England, Members of Musical LaGrange proudly accept. Nottingham was a three day homestay for mem- bers. The trip that ninety-two Musical LaGrange members anxiously waited for finally arrived. Nervous jokes, tears and long embraces flowed at the LaGrange County Courthouse as members said their final goodbyes on June 18th. Waiting for the airplane at Detroit airport members finally boarded the plane after twelve hours of waiting. Losing six hours of sleep, the new foreigners arrived in Amster- dam exhausted, then stepped on a bus nerv- ously awaiting their first homestay in Grijps- kerk, the Netherlands, the Sister City of LaGrange. From the Netherlands members traveled to Germany and Belgium, later crossing the English Channel onward to Eng- land and Scotland. Performances by the Swing Choir and Stage Band under the direc- tion of James Liechty enthralled the hearts of many Europeans. Learning new ways of life while making new friends and memories that would be treasured made the trip a good experience for all members. -fo ' t - J s,.....4rQ' ,X .

LHS was What was LHS? It was a place for leaming about life, but isn't everyplace? It was a place for maturing and doing an about face with life, finding answers to questions at long last. At LHS students learned of math, English, history and other academic subjects in the classroom. But what was learned in the halls was much more important. People learned of other people: how to trust, who to trust and why to trust. LHS was more than a schoolg it was a meeting place, with life. vc, ,, SX fu 0 was M- Q ..a4 ' ,,.,t.f
