Bonnie Gill unpacks napkins as she pre- pares the counter for the students. Employees keep school open Where were you when Mr. Thiel- sen was looking for students to help carry in commodities? Were you in class or just trying to stay hidden? There are many people that keep the school running without ever going to class. Among these were the bus drivers who made sure students got to and from the school and also transported them to basketball games, music con- tests and other extra-curricular activities. The cooks spent every morning preparing meals to feed the multi- tude of hungry students so that they can make it through the day. The janitors and student janitors were in charge of cleaning the rooms, making sure the heaters worked and doing all the odd jobs needed to keep the school open. Preparing the meals are school cooks Olga Bender, Marlene Kessler, Delores Bain, Bonnie Gill and Maggie Bendewald. Driving the buses each day are Pat Schaffner, Gerald Geffre, Frank Geffre, Don Guthmiller, Gwen Wolf and Willis Kiesz. Custodians John Bendewald and John Thielsen keep the school from falling apart. Helping clean the school each day are stu- dent janitors Jim Morrison and Doug Yost. 28 Staff

Academics Sophomores experience speech class jitters Where were you when the sopho- mores learned how hard it is to face their classmates? Sophomores spent their time hid- ing behind the podium during the second semester of English II. They also had to give demonstra- tion speeches and interviews, dur- ing which the podium was taken from them. Seated at the back of the room during these speeches was English teacher Julie George, who completed her tenth year at LHS. Sophomores were intro- duced to literature during the first semester of English. Juniors read American literature during their first semester and brushed up on their grammar and composition in the second semes- ter. They also spent much of their time trying to give Mrs. George a nervous breakdown. Seniors read British literature, reviewed their grammar and composition and worked on research papers. The freshmen, under the direction of first year teacher Jeanette Croft, learned basic English life skills. They also read the play “Romeo and Juliet” and the novel “West Side Story,” Mr. Bob Schumacher, who com- pleted his second year back at LHS, taught world history to the sophomores, U.S. history to the juniors and government consumer ed. to the seniors. 30 Academics History teacher Bob Schumacher lectures to the Junior Class.
