Many opportunities were found at LW. There were sports in which to participate, clubs to join, and aca¬ demics to achieve. There were also new people to meet, friends to see, simple smiles and friendly hellos. They all went hand-in-hand with The Place On 45th. Football games, basketball games, rollerskating, movies or arcade amusements were just some of the things LW students did during their spare time. Marie Brakley, junior, related, On my spare time I enjoy going to ar¬ cades because I can spend as much money as I want. I can spend a dollar or I can spend over ten dollars: it all depends on how much I can afford. Or, I can just go and watch the games for free which is something you can ' t do at the movies. I like ar¬ cade games so much I named my goldfish after two of the games: Tempest and Defender. But not everyone had extra time for sports, clubs, or activities. Some of the upperclassmen had jobs to go to. Having a job can be an exper¬ ience that can be rewarding as well as disappointing. I find that working prevents me from participating in a lot of school activities, said Marcina Williams, senior. Shalia Watkins, junior, and Chense Drake, junior. feast their eyes upon refreshments served in their cooking class? No, in the biology room of Mrs. Sarah Boyajian, science teacher. Opening

As the 1982-83 school year grew shorter, students began to turn to recollections of the past, applica¬ tions to the present, and hopes for the future. To know I ' m finally graduating is a great feeling! It makes me feel that I ' ve finally reached my first goal. But I really can ' t say that I ' m eager to leave. I know I ' ll look back at all the memories and cheerish them, ' ' re¬ marked Virginia Madrinian, senior. So, seniors began to anticipate graduation and finally becoming in¬ dependent. Inez Payne, senior, said, When I think of graduating, I tend to have mixed emotions. There are parts of me that would like to stay at LW; then there are parts of me that are eager to become indepen¬ dent. Graduating is a great ac¬ complishment, but there is much more for me to fulfill. I ' m thankful that The Place On 45th gave me the en¬ couragement I ' ll need to achieve other goals I have be¬ fore me. ' ' As the final days at LW drew near, seniors remembered good times — like winning the spirit stick for the first time at the ' 81 football homecoming pep rally and bad times — like crying as freshmen when the basketball team lost the ' 80 regionals. Good times or bad times, they all had become a part of their lives, a part that only could have hap¬ pened at — The Place Or 45 th. Wilusz John Rivera, sophomore, waits outside the LW school entrance for the noontime tone to sound his return to classes as Joanita Lee, freshman, playfully straddles the fence. Antri Mable, freshman, carefully inspects an offset name card that was designed in Mr. James Wojtan ' s print shop class. Donna Popoyich, iunior, and Rebecca Diaz, senior, perch on a pole fence relaxing among falling leaves as Guadalupe Aleman and Ramior Chavez, sophomores, amuse themselves in the noonday sun. Opening
