Students follow fashion trends 1986 was a year during which LHS boys dressed like Don Johnson in white sports jackets with white dress pants or blue jeans. Madonna set the style for girls with mini- skirts and Shaker sweaters with tank tops underneath. Girls also wore stirrup pants with long shirts. Guys wore their hair like Rick Springfield, long in the back and short on top. Girls wore theirs in many different styles, but used ear- rings to set off their hairstyles. 1986 was the year to see how big and how long girls could wear their earrings — and how gaudy! Male students walked through the school year comfortable in tennis shoes and cowboy boots, while the girls wore many different styles, ranging from tennis shoes to pumps and flats to boots. With their shoes the girls chose unusual socks of delicate lace or wildly col- ored patterns. Opening 5

Students retrace steps Music, sports, schoolwork and friends — all these are a part of any school year, and 1985-86 was no ex- ception. So let's pause for a mo- ment and take a few footsteps back through the happy times and the sad times of a memorable year. In September LHS students elected Launa Fauth and Revi Schaible as homecoming royalty and capped off their celebration with a 32-0 drubbing of Langford. The football team went on to their best season since 1979. The girls' basketball team too had a successful season, defeating rival Ipswich for the first time ever and capturing their first district crown as well. Things did not go as smoothly for the boys, however, as they strug- gled through a rebuilding season which ended with a 3-16 mark. The JV's 13-4 mark pointed the way to- ward success in the future, howev- er. For the first time ever the Christ- mas concert had to be cancelled be- cause of the weather and was per- formed instead the next morning during school. In January the Swing Choir once again took first place in their division at the South Dakota Jazz Festival, and three stu- dents were named to All-State Band. Spring was highlighted by the all- school production of Up the Down Staircase. Juniors built a city of red, gold and silver for the prom, and LHS sent seven tracksters to the state meet. And, of course, who can forget graduation? Certainly not the 31 seniors who walked down the center aisle of the gym for the last time. Senior Julie Hoffman hauls in a rebound in action from the Pirates' district cham- pionship win over Langford. Computer teacher David Carmon learns first-hand what it is like to put up with sophomores, in this case Jerry Geffre. Theresa Guthmiller and Eric Heiser march to the beat which they help to create as the LHS Marching Band performs during the homecoming parade. A chat over the water fountain is a common sight in the halls of LHS. Seniors Launa Fauth and Theresa Guthmiller share this moment between classes. 4 Opening
