STEVE ROBERTS MEMORIUM A typical day at LHS is one filled with laughter as students walk the halls. Friendly greetings are shouted from one end of the hall to the other while other students congregate in different rooms. Papers are handed in and speeches are given, but always there is laughter. March 21 was not a typical day at LHS for there was no laughter or greetings. There was silence as death hung over the building. A fear of death floated from student to student as friends of Steve Roberts learned of his death. Steve, a member of the Class of 1973, died in a motorcycle accident March 20 as he was riding with a friend. Word of his death spread quickly and students found it impossible to work. The feeling of death and memory of Steve would stay with diem for years but on that Tuesday, the feelings were especially deep. Steve's funeral was held Friday, March 24 and one of the ministers remarked that he remembered Steve smiling and laughing and always joking. One of Steve's friends said, When Steve had 50t, 25 t was mine and 25 t was his. That's the kind of guy Steve Roberts was. This is how Steve Roberts should be remembered. Remember him as a smiling friend greeting you on a typical day atLHS. REMEMBER HIM AS HE LIVED 4
