As shown, the junior class is performing the class's skh for horneconwng. The group spent nwany hours working on the production and had to turn inthescnpttothe dasssponson Special Events Facilities make events interesting The new LC facilities made the special events of l985 very interesting, The Homecoming dance, for the first time, was held in the new multi-purpose room. The play and musical, because of the on-going construction, were held in the elementary gym as a dessert the- atre. Homecoming was held the first week in October. Many special activities in- cluding dress-up, sports, baby, nerd and blue and white day took place. During the week controversy arose on such subjects as whether seniors should be disqualified for selling pop- corn door to door. Another was the ju- nior and senior skits with a Rambus- ters theme. The fall play brought many new as- pects to the annual event. Since the old auditorium was converted to a cafeteria over the summer, the elementary gym became the new setting. The gym was transformed into a dessert theatre with a hostess. A mini-play l'The Three Little Pigs and Friends was performed with a ucommercial message between it and the Lewis Corporation performance. Then uThe Star Spangled Girl began with Greg Jackson, Sarah Ballew and Danny Adkins as lead roles. Snoball, unlike homecoming dance, was held in the high school gym. Instead of having it in December, it was held Jan. l9 because for date conflicts in De- cember. ln December, junior class officers held a vote on whether the junior and senior classes wanted to have a band or disc jockey from a local radio station, Juniors, as they do every year, sold can- dy bars to pay for it. Prom was held May 4 in the gym, as it has been done in the past. Finally the time came, as it does every year, when the senior class marched down the aisle and received their diplo- ma. Graduation was held May lf? with l53 students graduating, Special Events 5

F lndividuality shows from all classes at LC with Clothes of all styles l985. After years and years of differ- ent fashions, what new ones could pos- sibly be created? At LC, students found that practically anything went. From bright spring neons to the usual basics, students mixed their clothes for their own look. l'One can really tell what music one is into because they dress like their idols. lt also shows their tastes and dislikes, too, freshman Tiffany Tucker noted. New fads also entered the scene in the fall. Ankles popped out from under- neath cropped pants in all colors. Donned in Dad's old cardigan, girls mixed up the style and wore them back- wards to enhance their tan and to add individuality. When the spring line came out, bright florescents were mixed and matched to make all eyes blur. All who wore them seemed to try to outdo the other by see- ing who could create the wildest look. l-lats became vogue in the fall also. While it was all right for girls to wear them, guys broke the rule and attended school adorned in their favorite fedora. Often it was the style worn in the '4O's, reinstated into society by movie charac- ter Indiana Jones from llRaiders of the Lost Ark . The most catching fad had to have been a v-neck 'lAbitare sweater from Forenza, a division of The Limited Cloth- ing Store. Over-sized and bulky, practi- cally everyone who wore them looked smashing. As styles for girls always change more often than guys, this year was no excep- tion. However, some new styles became Hin and gave their own look for men. Flanges and mesh ornamented some jackets. l-lots were worn with anything from parachute to baggy pants. Polos were replaced with bulkier wool sweat- ers when the winter wind hit, and cow- boy boots began to make their come- back when worn with nice sweaters. Le- vi's still reigned as the most popular jean while oxfords and polos were also worn the most. As fashions change so do people. One junior, Jodie Richter, had one sug- gestion when buying clothes. lll think the new fads tend to hide people's fea- tures. They cover up their true personal- ity, One must be careful to buy clothes that they really like, and not just get it because everyone else has one. 'z-. Q 94h-197 this .fl'3o. if 1. fl i.
