“
I'll Catch the Sun I'll catch the sun and never give it back again. I'll catch the sun and keep it for my own. And in a world where no one understands I'll take my outstretched hand and offer it to anyone who comes along and tells me he's in need of love. In need of hope or maybe just a friend. Perhaps in time I'll even share my sun with that new anyone to whom I gave my hand.

These things will again someday be changed and replaced, as this endless process of advancement continues. Pirate firsts are symbolic of the changing times in LHS. A distinct foreign outlook is shaped. Curric- ulum is expanded. Athletics are extended. Just as the sun transmits light and warmth into our lives, these first-time happenings enlighten the lives of the students of LHS.

LHS received a foreign exchange student from Chile, and a girls1 track team was added to the athletic department. The filming of football and basketball games was also added so that the athletes could see their mistakes, and while the girls were changing tires in an industrial arts course, the boys were baking cookies in a home economics course. 5 Changes add to school system Joining the curriculum this year was a modern problems class which discussed world problems, and an arts and crafts class which made wood carvings and candles. Student teachers were added to the music department to give lessons and to ease Mr. Guffey's schedule. Women were liberated this year at LHS with the repeal of the old no slacks rule.

They were here not to lead, but only to guide. Their goal—to blend friendship and mutual respect with au- thority and learning. Through their efforts and concern, our burden is lightened, our way is brightened, and our future is made more pro- mising.

Knowledge and learning, the basic tools of progress in our modern environment, are generated mainly in the classroom. Alert minds are accelerated by interesting and up-to-date subjects. The heart of the school is found here, in the classrooms, with each teacher and student giving a portion of his mental ability and understanding in order to formulate a more perfect institution.

Classes provide workable knowledge Because of the eight period schedule, students could include more classes this year. World History, American History, government, economics, and a civil defense program were offered in the social science department. General science, chemistry, and physics students worked in the lab along with studying concepts. In the business department, office practice classes expanded to more than one hour. In the math department, students were offered Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II, and advanced math. German II students increased their German vocabularies and usage. 15 Students strive for perfection A modem problems class and a music theory class were added to the curriculum this year. The industrial arts classes had an exhibit to show the products of their efforts. (upper left) Quentin Ehley watches as Rick Wolff shapes an edge on a board in Shop I.

Adding additional energy and en- thusiasm to the regular schedule, the numerous divisions of co-curricula are accelerated by the members of the student body. This institution at the educational level stresses group coopera- tion and productive utilization of time. Psycho- logically and physically, the benefits are shared by all who participate. The outcome filtrates and enlightens the scholastic structure, as the sun penetrates our lives.

More students participate in track Forty-five boys participated in track this season. Not all tracksters entered competitive events. They were out to work out due to the passing of a new school board bill requiring all boys desiring to go out for other sports next year to go out for track this year. The only member eligible to compete in the state track meet was senior Don Geffre. A new addition to the athletic department this year was the girls' track team. Over thirty-two girls took part in this new divi- sion of athletics. The girls went to two track meets in Doland and Aberdeen. Two girls placed in track events. They were Jeanne Rath, shot put; and Jane Beaver, low hurdles. Girls' track was received with much enthusiasm and is hoped that it will remain a permanent position in the athletic department.

L H S thespians feature tico one-act comedies The Leola Thespians presented two one- act comedies, Love Hits Wilbur and It's Cold in Them Thar Hills, November 12, 1970, under the direction of Mrs. Imogene Kaul. The first was the story of thirteen year- old Wilbur, played by Larry Nesby, who would have nothing to do with girls. Debbie Thorpe played Wilbur's mother, who was constantly worried about him. His easy- going father, David Kulm, thought he would be better off a bachelor. Jeanne Rath played his older sister who looked down on the younger generation. The scene changes when Wilbur's fourteen year- old sister, Cindy Haux, invites her friend, played by Karen Reub, over for dinner. When Wilbur sees her, his feelings change com- pletely.

Highlights Lived, cherished, and remembered forever, these beautiful moments highlight our high school days. The materialistic aspects of these spectac- ular times are past, but the precious memories re- main in the hearts and minds of the active youth who enjoyed them. To be remembered most are the endless hours of work, energy, cooperation, and enjoyment poured into the formation of these celebrated occasions. Celebrated occasions in a celebrated phase of life—youth. Homecoming festivities open 1970-71 school year Setting the spirited mood for the Homecoming activities was the pep fest on Thursday evening.
