Class Tourney 1984 Saturday night March twenty- third 1984, and no we weren ' t going to see Footloose or stopping by Pizza Hut for a large pan pizza, we . were waiting for Class Tourney to begin. Action started early as each class worked to make their section of the bleachers look its best. Besides the artistic approach, there were pop guzzling and ice cream eating where students ate points for their classes. However, if you weren ' t into food there were always basketball, volley- ball, arm wrestling and the obstacle course. Even if a student ' s name did not appear on any of the lists, his pres- ence was still appreciated in class participation and tug-of-war. The tourney closed with juniors and seniors battling for first and sec- ond place. However, with the final points tallied, juniors came in first with 144, seniors with 126, sopho- mores earned 64 and finally the freshman with 32 points. After the screaming and yelling died down everyone finished the night by dancing to the music of Mach One. Although class tourney could not be compared to a good movie or shopping at Glenbrook Mall, it gave each class a chance to have and achieve a winning spirit. — Karen Pfister 29 Lifestvles Class Tournev 1 I '

Fun; Sun: Sure Cures for Winter Blues Spring break was just what it im- plied, a break. A break from school, homework, classes, and the boring daily routines. There were many things students did to take advantage of their breaks. Most people went to the fun and sun of Florida. Florida was a great place to get a tan and get away from all the problems of life at home. Eric Hobson said, Florida is a great place where you can meet girls, and party all day and night. Getting a tan was usually the main reason students flocked to Florida. They were the envy of the student body when they returned from the sunny state with their brown bronzed skin. A new opportunity for Leo stu- dents last year was a nine day trip to Europe. The trip was sponsored by Mrs. Piatt, Miss Rhynard, and Mrs. Mauquardt. The trip involved touring the var- ious countries of Europe including: London, England; Paris, France; Lu- cerne, Switzerland; and Heidelburg, West Germany. As Ann Howard said, I learned to appreciate Ameri- can things I took for granted — like- toilets. Others less fortunate were forced to spend their spring break in dull, dreary Fort Wayne. These deprived kids hung around at the mail, went and saw movies, or just hung out with friends. As stated by Irene Kissner, I just hung around the house and watched my sopa operas. On the other hand, many of these students who stayed home enjoyed sleeping in and relaxing in their nat- ural, everyday surroundings. Edgard Herran put it best when he stated, I had the chance to go on a trip but I decided to stay home and enjoy it with my girlfriend. Whether students went to Florida, Europe, o r just relaxed at home, spring break was a vacation from the everyday demands of school. — Michelle Kies 30 Lifestyles Spring Break I 1
