LHSers enjoy sports, cars, movies Where were you when LHSers were cruising around town listen- ing to tunes? When they turned on their ste- reos, LHSers enjoyed listening to 16 year old Tiffany, Cher, Poison and White Snake. The Oak Ridge Boys and Alabama were favorites of LHS’s country westerners. The old favorite of jeans and a T shirt took on a new twist with jeans that could be either stone, platinum or diamond washed, snowed or frosted. LHS girls stepped out in miniskirts and “Gilligan” shoes, while the guys stuck to cut-off shirts and cowboy boots. Whether on the side or in the back, bananas showed up in many girls’ hair, while more and more guys got out the gel and tried a spike. In their spare time high schoolers enjoyed playing sports and cruis- ing around Leola. Guys spent time working on their cars, hunting, playing cards and chasing girls. The girls liked to talk on the phone, read and be with friends. On weekends, LHSers met uptown to form carloads and travel to movies, dances and away ball- games. 4 Opening
