Mark Silvertooth was here when LHS welcomed its first students. His two sons are Lancer graduates. He had only to cross the street to be on his job as grounds and buildings supervisor, and keeping the campus a clean and pleasant place for every- one was his top work priority. For 22 years this dedicated man achieved that goal. But nothing remains constant, and last October Silver- tooth left LHS to move to Texas and go into business with his brother. We all miss him, for he is one of us. Silvertooth helped to build much of what is best about Lennox, and his name looms large in our history. Thank you, friend, and good luck! Above: Many students, teachers, administrators, and co-workers have been fortunate to know and to respect Mark Silvertooth as a friend. He is a man who “looks for the best in everyone.’ Left: The Silvertooth family greets their many friends at the retirement party which honored years of outstanding service and dedication. 16 Tribute to a Friend THUR: 300 ONDO LANCER So HAVE Ome BASKETBALL AVA WEDNESDAY | eGIRLS.

Strong performances by Culver City and Inglewood and a close one point loss to the El Segundo Eagles brought an end to these dreams. However, under the careful guidance of new coach Dennis James, the Lancers placed third in the league and then went on to the league finals, where they qualified for the CIF pre- lims. Top runner for LHS was Leroy Collins, who placed third at the league meet. Two other standouts were Ricardo Gonzalez and Willie Alvarico. Throughout the season strong support was given by Raul Ponce, Eloy Soto, Sergio Yepez, and John Alcala. Award recipients for the year were Leroy Collins, out- Standing runner; Willie Alvarico, coach’s award; and Ricardo Gonzalez, most inspirational. Chosen as tri-captains were veteran runners Raul Ponce, Leroy Collins, and Ricardo Gon- zalez.

Capitalizing on the strength of undefeated League champion Aaron Pratt and their will to excel, the JV’s captured second place honors in the Pioneer League standings. Head coach Dennis James, who had the job of keeping his novice runners motivated through the low points of the season, was a key factor in the team’s fine over-all performance. 1.

Under first year coach Dennis James, the determined five girl squad went through many long hours of strenuous training and conditioning exercises. At the end all the hard work paid off as the Lancer runners finished third at League finals to qualify for CIF competition. Seniors Ruth Culqui and Ena Heredia set the pace for the enthusiastic girls, displaying great con- sistency throughout the first season of cross country participation.

The girls showed great hustle and togetherness in heartbreaking losses to taller, more experienced squads from Morningside, El Segundo, and Redondo. With en- thusiasm undiminished, they came back to knock an ex- cellent Leuzinger team out of second place, defeating them on their back-to-school night. Reina Pinto was team captain and most valuable player. Pinto also received second team All-League hon- ors. Cris Garcia was selected as the best team player, and Ana Colon was voted most improved. 1.

Like the varsity, the JV’s often found themselves facing teams that were much taller and a great deal more experi- enced than the locals. Despite this handicap, the girls came away with victo- ries against Centennial, Leuzinger, Redondo, and Morn- ingside. According to Coach Ron Elliott the lively Lancer spikers looked good even in defeat, losing some crucial matches by very narrow margins. At the close of the season, Olga Martinez was hon- ored as the team’s most valuable player, while Dennisse Mercado was named most improved player. With the enthusiasm they demonstrated and the skills they learned this year, many JV players look forward to a successful varsity seas on in 1980. 1.

With 13 returning lettermen, varsity gridders ap- proached the 1979 season with great expectations of a winning year. These high hopes were quickly demolished won as the Lancers, seemingly unable to hit upon any win- : ea ning strategy, ended the season with a hapless 0-7. league record. With the resignation of Coach Mark Jacobs just two days before the opening of school, Don Bohannon as- sumed the rather formidable task of molding the group into a smoothly functioning grid machine. Despite great effort and the excellent rapport established with the players, this miracle was not to be achieved during this season. One of the lowest points of competition was the de- feat by the Lawndale Cardinals and the loss of the pres- tigious trophy to the crosstown rivals. Once again Andre Brooks was the standout player of the year. Brooks was named All-League as well as most valuable player. Doyle Kosmata was best offensive player; Raymond Soria, best on defense; and Alfredo Calvillo, most improved competitor. 1. Kevin Lawrence speeds away from his Cardinal opponent. 2.

Hurt by this depletion of their ranks and playing against larger schools with more experienced players, the young gridders were unable to capture a single victory. The highlight of the grid year was an exciting contest against Harvard which ended in a close 8-6 loss for the locals. However, in this game the Lancers played the best defense of their diasp- pointing season.

It was a great start for Coach Gutierrez and his charges. Then the bubble burst. Lennox lost the next game against the El Segundo Eagles by two points, the first of three close defeats for the locals. The most crucial of these losses was the heart- breaking 67-66 defeat by Harvard. A win here would have ensured the Lancers entry into the CIF play-offs for the first time in school history. Mike Haney and Raul Ponce were selected to the All- League first and second teams respectively. Senior guards George Lopez and Felipe Darrell provided good shooting and expert passing throughout the season, while forward Leroy Collins led the team in steals and consistent performance. Kevin Rachall, Jeff Davis, and Leonard Bardere will be back to bolster next year’s varsity ranks. 1979-80 VARSITY BASKETBALL — Kneeling: George Lopez, Carlos Mercado.

Looking back over the 10-4 season record, Coach Sie- gal commented, “I thought our size would hurt us, but our quickness more than made up for it.”’ One of the season’s highlights was the exciting win over Harvard, when the Lancers sank two free throws in the last seconds of play to edge out their Opponents and take the important victory. Strong all-around performers for the Lancer young- sters were Pat Gray, defense; Alfonso Cameron, shoot- ing; Allan Sarnowski, defense and number of Steals; and Octavius Knox, rebounds. 1.

Despite impressive victories over Lawndale and Morningside, the Lancers dropped close contests to powerful opponents Hawthorne, Avia- tion, and Culver City. Their CIF hopes were kept alive until the final game of the season against the Inglewood Sentinels, which the locals lost 2-0. Although the team failed in its bid for a CIF berth, the players made an outstanding effort to win and showed steady improvement as the season progressed. Jesse Diaz was a consistent player on defense, while Luis De la Pena and Jorge Carrera contributed strength in the halfback spots. The fantastic speed of forward Javier Luna combined with the work of talented midfiel- der Sergio Yepez and the scoring punch of Daniel Velaz- quez to make the Lancers a colorful team to watch in action. Proud Lancers who gained All-League honors were Jesse Diaz and Sergio Yepez, named to the first team; and Daniel Velazquez, Jorge Carrera, and Jonathan Cor- tes, second team selections. ee et be 1.

The junior booters displayed their come- from-behind spirit of determination in the final game against Inglewood. With 10 minutes left to play, trailing 1-3, the JV’s pressed on to end with a 3-3 tie. Among the outstanding players was Guillermo Quant, who gave mobility to the forward line and assisted in many goals. Arturo Valenzuela was a key player in the midfield, providing strong help for the forward line; and Carlos Gonzales showed his potential of becoming a top flight center fullback. Stated Coach Jose Gutierrez, ‘‘I was very happy to coach this team, and it was a satis- faction to see them try so hard to win.” 1.

The season ended on a high note when the Lancers scored a 35-25 victory over arch rival Hawthorne. Their 4-6 league record earned Lennox a fourth place spot in the final Pioneer League standings. Seniors who played a big part in the season’s competition were forwards Jana Butts and Maria Kosmetatos and guard Oraida Alfonso. Strength and size were added by juniors Tammy Puyol, who was named to the first team All- League, and Ardis Carnes, guard. Sophomores Hettie Price and Barbara Rodri- guez gained experience playing the tight ‘‘press’’ guard positions.

Because of their late organizing date, the 1980 tracksters could not participate in the Pioneer League, but they were eligible to enter league finals to qual- ify for CIF. As the Troubadour went to press, Lennox had been edged out 65-61 by powerhouse El Se- gundo. All other meets had been cancelled be- cause of bad weather. In early season competition top performers for the varsity were Adrian Booker, Richard Nieves, Leroy Collins, Raul Ponce, David Hay- good, and Sergio Yepez. This year saw the debut of a girls’ team, fea- turing mostly distance oriented runners with little experience. Among feminine competitors Ena Heredia seemed headed for success in the mile and two mile events. The Soph-Frosh squad displayed excellent po- tential in practice and early season competition. Speedburners Carlos Gonzalez and Gus Veitia, high jumper James McGhee, and distance run- ners David Saenz and Alex Neira all showed great promise. Coach Dennis James had the formidable task of coaching all three squads. Despite the overall lack of depth, James had high hopes that sev- eral of his charges would make it into league fi- nals.

Track 41 Sluggers are key to season Hopes were high as five veteran players, in- cluding All-League center fielder Julio Veitia, re- turned to bolster the 1980 varsity baseball squad. With two sophomores and a freshman in the lineup, the Lancers lost to a strong St. Monica team 4-1, but came back to defeat Chaminade 9-3. Sophomore ace pitcher Craig Gutman picked up the win. Other players displaying early season talent were Nick Cepeda, Osberto Geno, Gary Athe- rton, Mirko Merencio, Fernando Fernandez, Rodney Meyer, and Julio Veitia. Coach Dan Noval summed up the situation in these words: “Our pitching is young and un- tested, but our infield is solid with experience. We could have a good year.” As the Troubadour went to press, the JV baseball nine had a 1-0-1 record, having been rained out of much pre-season practice. Solid performances were turned in by Carlos Mercado at third; Anthony Hampton, center field; Ricardo Ibarra, short stop; and Allan Sar- nowski, catcher.

Their list of All-League candidates included Becky McFall, Jana Butts, Oraida Alfonso, Dennisse Mercado, Jackie Ellis, and Hettie Price. At the helm was first year Coach Wheeler, who told the Troubadour re- porter, ‘‘Our goal is to make it to CIF playoffs; and with the potential ability our players have, we should reach it.” Coach Wheeler also stated that strong newcomers Reina Pinto, Ana Co- lon, and Betty Moala would play a big part in his CIF hopes. Again the story was one of rain anda delayed season, but teams from Culver City and Mira Costa entered the league this year, offering new competition that promises an especially challenging sea- son.

You want five glasses of punch!’ The thirst of the dancers keeps Dora Jasper and Kathy Begg (1) busy. Martina Jiminez and Luis de la Pena (2) take their turn in the picture line.

In the meantime, Barbara can tell her many stories of life in Sri Lanka, while Christina recalls her time in Costa Rica. 50 AFS Page sponsored by Mr. Lee Hayashi The world is a place for friendship to AFS clubs who seek to experience and understand foreign cul- tures and different ways of life. The motto of the organization sums up their goals in these words: ‘‘Walk Together, Talk Together, All the Peoples of the world.’’ In the words of advisor Lee Hayashi, ‘‘Perhaps as we meet people from all corners of the earth, Ameri- can Field Service can bring about brotherhood and understanding rather than nuclear holocaust. We can and must try.” Lennox had two outstanding representatives in the 1979 AFS Americans Abroad program. Barbara Neyra lived with a family in Sri Lanka, while Christina Chronis spent her summer in Costa Rica. This year Linda Hokanson has been selected as a finalist for a 5 1980 appointment.

Along with this worthy objective the club seeks to develop initiative and leadership. Although small in membership, the group represents the best in Lan- cer attitude and spirit, for their work is totally unselfish. During the year the Keywanettes made and delivered Thanksgiving cards and valentines to the Centinela Hos- pital. They also organized an Easter party for pre-schoolers in Lennox. A different kind of service was provided when Keywanet- tes acted as baby sitters for all PTA and board meetings for the Lennox Elementary District. As a change of pace these ever busy club members volunteered their services for the special Olympics. President Minerva Moreno was very capably aided by Luz Rivera, vice president; Vivian Sanchez, secretary; and Jackie Palmer, historian. Caring guidance was given by advisor Judi Reed. Led by faculty sponsor C.R. Roberts, the Legal Rights Club is dedicated to building better citizenship by seeking an understanding of the true meaning of the term equal rights. The club is particularly interested in exploring careers re- lated to law and equal rights. Advisor Roberts is concerned with helping members to discover and develop their full potential. 52 Clubs Sponsored by AIRPORT KIWANIS CLUB Off-campus activities included field trips and social events such as theater parties. The group underwrites their acti- vity program with various on-campus promotions such as candy sales. Chess and Backgammon Club—the name says it all. This group enjoys the recreational activity and mental stimu- lation afforded by these games and meets weekly to sharpen their playing skills. Officers for the club were Tim Newton, president; Dennis MacGregor, vice president; and Tony Whitley, secretary treasurer. Mr. John Sahakian served as faculty advisor for the club. Organized last year as the Disco Club, this organization changed its name to the Dance Club in order to better reflect the full range of their interests. The purpose of the group is to provide an atmosphere for self-expression in the form of dance. According to Ms. Catherine Schindler, club advisor, ‘‘Dur- ing the year the club diversified, incorporating a variety of dances, which included Latin dances, the Wiggle, Free Style, the Rock and even Punk Rock. This was an inter- esting innovation.’”” Officers for the Dance Club were Francis Vasquez, presi- dent; Martha Delgado, vice president; and Elizabeth Mon- tijo, secretary. |.

Their Christmas show featured dances from Mexico, Hawail, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, plus poetry in Spanish. The Valentine’s Dance scored a first with not one, but two, live bands to provide music. A main attraction on the PTA Founder’s Day obser- vance was an excellent dance program presented by the club. Next came the big Cinco de Mayo carnival and Show, followed by a Spanish play commemorating Mexi- can Mother’s Day. To celebrate their successful year in the proper style, club members journeyed to Magic Mountain for a day of fun, relaxation, and good fellowship. First semester officers were Judah Ramirez, presi- dent; Donato Sanchez, vice president; Consuelo Yepez, secretary. Sanchez took over the presidency the second term, aided by Rosa Benitez, vice president; and Irlanda Benitez, secretary. Reviewing the year’s activities, President Sanchez said, ‘‘We take pride in doing things well and in pre- serving our cultural heritage. “It has been a good year, and I wish to thank all the members for their efforts.

After making its reappearance on campus in 1978, the choir experienced a welcome growth in numbers and enthusiasm. Director Don Ladin expressed pleasure at this trend, stating, ‘I enjoy the choir and hope we can get more students involved, especially the male voices.’ In addition to the usual Christmas and spring concerts, the musicians entertained off campus and also made their debut in the annual Lennox High Christmas rally. Last year the Varsity Club opened its mem- bership to women, marking the end of separate clubs for varsity athletes. This year has been a time for the groups to adjust to each other’s different styles of work- ing in order to find the most efficient method of functioning.

As the year progressed and the inevitable apathy began to set in, a concerned council tried hard to keep the pace lively and the stu- dents involved. One of the most interesting and productive undertakings was a series of small group meet- ings where individuals met to discuss many phases of student life. Second semester saw a shifting of roles. Christina Chronis too k over as president. Karen Simonek replaced Christina as vice president; Ruth Culqui assumed Karen’s duties as secre- tary-treasurer.

Queen Christina... the 17 year old senior with spar- kling hazel eyes looks upon this honor as a major high- light. ““A total shock!’” commented Chris. “It was great.” However, she prefers the old homecoming format to the “new look’’ used this year. Senior Princess Patty Versteegh ... blonde, green-eyed Patty was escorted by Leroy Collins for the coronation festivities. “It was all very exciting and unexpected,” said Patty, ‘‘and I loved it.’’ Junior Princess Rita Camberos ... dynamic 16 year old Rita described her reaction, saying, ‘I felt a chill down my body, and I felt very good inside.’’ Her escort for the evening was Mirko Merencio. Sophomore Princess Julie Campos ... ‘‘I was very ex- cited and even shocked that I had won. It was a great privilege.” Escorted by Mario Espinosa, Julie likes ‘‘the old way of celebrating homecoming.” Freshman Princess Norma Hernandez ... the brown- haired newcomer, who was escorted by Tim Nelson, also expressed a preference for the traditional Grid Queen format, but stated, ‘I was surprised to hear my name called, but I was proud and happy.” 1.

The idea of a career in show busi- ness excites first semester secretary Julie Campos (2). Julie believes in work, following the philosophy, “If you want to be a top banana, you have to start at the bottom of the bunch.’ First semester president Joey Col- lins (3) has been an active member of student council and relishes par- ticipating in all the noon activities, whether it’s holding up the class pyramid or pushing a pie into the face of some unlucky volunteer.

In a festive atmosphere of balloons, brilliantly colored posters, wildly imaginative personal decorations, and fast moving entertainment, Lan- cers celebrated their annual Spring Sports Week. The suspense built steadily as everyone waited to learn who would be elected to the Spring Sports Court. Then came the final announcement—‘‘The 1980 King—Felipe Darrell. Your Queen—Gloria Jaquez.’’ And these new names were written into our history. 118 Spring Sports Court 1. Crowd awaits the announcement of the prin- cesses. 2.

He has been in the IBM manage- ment program, sales, the stock ex- change, the Air Force, and was a TWA summer employee. Before becoming assistant princi- pal, Finnegan taught English, coached, and was Director of Stu- dent Activities here at Lennox. It is not unusual to see him dressed in his uniform on the way to referee a soccer game, one of his fa- vorite pastimes. Commenting on LHS, Finnegan said, “I would like to see a more ex- tensive shop program and have every student involved in school activities in some way.” 120 Academics Principal Marie Boryan can’t re- member a time when she didn’t want to teach, for she has always liked to work with young people. Travel is her favorite recreational activity, especially visiting unusual places that are off the beaten tourist paths. A dynamic woman of boundless en- ergy, Boryan also likes to spend time at her home in Palm Springs where she relaxes by swimming, gardening, and walking. When asked what she likes best about Lennox, Boryan responded, “The warmth and friendliness pos- sible with a small student body is special. I am proud of the way the students get along together, and I love working here.”’ Now a word about our leaders Assistant Principal Ronald Tyler, who served in the second armored division, would have been a career army officer had he not gone into the educational field. A graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara in indus- trial arts, the disciplined, well-orga- nized VP has taught printing, wood- working, and drafting at Leuzinger and Lawndale. Asked what impresses him about Lennox, Tyler immediately replied, “The students’ ability to cope with many situations. “In almost every instance where you have the opportunity to sit down and work with them, they are able to recognize their problems and develop alternatives.” Holmes retires When LHS opened its doors in 1957, William Holmes was there to greet the first students. Now after more than 30 years of service in the public school system, the veteran teacher-counselor plans to take early retirement and move to Northern California. Over the years the cheerful, positive thinking Holmes has helped countless students, sharing both the good and the bad times. Reviewing his years at Lennox, Holmes mused, “You may find this hard to believe, but I have en- joyed every day! “Every year I make new friends and treasure my contacts with the old. Twenty-three years of friendships provide a lifetime of happy memories for me.” Grateful Lancers wish their friend success, hap- piness, and good health in his new career in the investment field. Retiring counselor William Holmes (1), who has cleaned his desk for the final time, bids farewell to co-workers Edel Alonso, Robert Rice, and Jan Wieberg. Director of Activities Bill Calder (2) waits for the next deluge of work. Regina Adams (left) and Betty Zeitler (3) serve as secretaries to the assistant princi- pals and counselors. They also help the steady flow of Lancers passing through their office. A new face at LHS, Mary Koerner (4) left Leuzi- nger to become secretary to Miss Boryan. .

Missing from the faculty line up were the “‘old’’ famil- iar countenances of Mark Jacobs, Kathy Secan, and Al- . lan Stein, long time art instructor. As in past years, these diverse personalities quickly blended to get the school year off to one of the smoo- thest starts in LHS history.

The number of meetings needed to translate all these things into reality was over- whelming to teachers and administrators. Faculty meetings, departmental meetings, dis- trict office meetings, various committee meetings, meetings with consultants and the special interest groups—the list seemed to be a never ending one.

HIP, the Northrup High School Involvement Program, provides on-the-job ‘raining experience and 10 gradu- ation credits. Those Lancers who choose Work Experience are em- ployed by businesses throughout the area, earning both credits and a pay check. Career Development offers an opportunity for explo- ration in a chosen occupation through observation and hands-on training. Candy Stripers, so-named because of the uniform that identifies them, are doing useful work at the Haw- thorne Community Hospital and learning about the medical world. The greatest number of students enroll in the South- ern California Regional Occupational Center. Here they receive a wide variety of vocational experiences which bring them a step closer to real life. The entire program is supervised by Mrs. Cathy Ghig- lione, who told the Troubadour reporter: “It is gratifying to see students become aware of the opportunities to explore many kinds of careers and receive training and credit at the same time.” Ti i eet ae eee ae ae ie He RSS ie a aan ie eee Ae el Sponsored by AIRPORT KIWANIS CLUB Vocational 139 Our Patrons ...| JCPenney These are the people who play a big role in bringing your ‘‘Troubadour” to you each year.
