AND IN THE PRESENT. . . Mr. Schmidt has a very high tradition to follow and we are confident that he will continue to improve Lanphier during his tenure as principal.

DEDICA TION The LanHi '75 staff takes pride in dedicating the 1975 Lan-Hi to two most outstanding people. These two people, we feel, have a great deal to ' do in molding the stones into the solid brick house, and making Lanphier the best school in Springfield. We, therefore, dedicate the 1975 Lan-Hi to our past principal, Mr. John IM Armitage, and to our present principal, Mr. Phillip H. Schmidt. - ' Mr. Armitage held very high views of Lanphier which have carried over into our everyday lives. We feel that he helped the student body greatly during his tenure as principaL both as individuals and as a student body. We wish him the best in all his future endeavors. . MR. JOHN W. ARMITAGE DEDICATED TO SERVICE I IN THE PAST

THE PEN STRIKES ....... I1 41 62 2 2, HOMK VISITOR of-4 QTREJ 1 2. 5,1 no I . I - Y I . ls School Spirit Dead Af L. H. S.? i X M bown Bmou vhs-neo N .N , You wonder anymore what school spirit is. ls it just showing up at every ballgame? ls it cheering at assemblies? What the heck is school spirit? Someone once told me that spirit was going through gymnastics for more than four weeks, but I think that that is not quite the right idea. School spirit is when you stay up till four a. m. working on your class float for homecoming. School spirit is buying a candy bar from everyone who sells them even though it means buying twelve. School spirit is rooting like crazy at city tournaments when your team has a record of 0-9. This is the down-to-earth real nitty-gritty stuff behind school spirit. Since there are still a few people running around our hallowed halls with this particular affliction, it has not totally died. However, a funeral may be in order in the years to come. School spirit is not promoted by the schooL it's promoted by the individual. lt's up to all of us to keep the level from falling to the point of no return because with school spirit, a good school becomes better. Think about it-you are the school. 0 Q Q36 Qf5QwpQ W veg -1 . QU Q4 1 QQN , 7 I E QQ WIN V 5 f ' S ,Q XIX f I N y Off? ff W Q f 4 Q5 ,gf ff W J? F5 5 5 M K I IU M X. ff! f AW. f f ,QM MQW .
