After extensive research and ex- ploration of Lion Country, I Inave come to tine conclusion that without the people, our coun- try would amount to dry dust and cold brick! The life, personal- ity, and charm of Leo all come through on the faces of our stu- dents and faculty. Since there is such a wide age range here, the personality of Lion Country can be called split among other things! On our right we can see a furious senior gripe about all the little monkeys hanging around. But on our left, the coin is turned as a seventh grader calls the older students big baboons ! Amid the craziness and confusion of junior high and the so-called sophistication of the senior high, the great wisdom and au- thority of the faculty keeps ever- ything under control. All in all, it is impossible to capture the spirit of Lion Country any- where except in the smile found on a native ' s face. (Clockwise from upper left) Following tfieir daily routines, students de- scend one of the well-trodden paths. A home away from home for many. Lori Wittwer spends time at her locker, sweet locker. Family ties are strong with the people in Lion Country as displayed by Lana and Brian Yost. Only the gossip fence is missing as Linda Martin tells Julie Miller and Robin Butler the daily news. The Senior Step Gang allows an intruder to share their project period spot.

Mr. Jack Flick ' s musical abilities extend beyond directing our choirs. He plays all instruments to some degree. His specialities are the clarinet, the saxophone, and the flute. Last summer he had been playing in the Civic Theatre orchestra, and the conductor, who was leaving at the end of the summer, asked Mr. Flick to take his place conduct- ing the fall musical, Anything Goes. They spent 3V2 hours every night rehearsing. Last spring he conducted the mu- sic for Cabaret. Mr. Flick has played in the orchestra in many other previous productions, including: Guys and Dolls , The Music Man , Carrousel , On a Clear Day , and My Fair Lady. The most recent production he was involved with was Cabaret. He plans to continue his Involvement with the Civic at least for a while yet. Mr. Randy Artherhults Miss Mary Baumgartner Mr. Mike Bearman Mr. Lyie Butler Miss Lisa Carr Mr. Ron Crosby Mr. Ron Divelbiss Mr. Jack Flick Mr. Steve Gabet Mrs. Pat Gillett Miss Ruth Goeglein Mrs. Rosemary Grose All of the teachers are special, but some teachers have extra-special activities. Miss Lisa Carr, a Big Sister, is one example. She became involved with the Big Sister program last summer becuase of her concern for children with one parent. Once a week she spends time with her 5th grade friend, Laurie. The two attend basketball games, movies, tour Pizza Hut, and just generally have fun together. Miss Carr feels having a little sister is a good experience for both Laurie and herself. L ,. Faculty 29
