Service crews toil inconspicuously A lot of work was put into early morning cups of coffee and between class snacks. Thelma Hedin, head cook, along with other early risers was at school every morning at 6 a.m. preparing the midday meal. Much time was also spent ordering quantities of milk shakes, donuts, vegetables, and special desserts. Several of the cooks arrived at 9 a.m. and worked through 4 p.m. baking cookies and hamburger buns forthe following day. The cooks also helped in some of the extra activities, such as the Parents' Open House Night, the Big Little Sister Party, and the Mother Daughter Tea. Cafeteria tables were kept clean by the custodians, who also swept the halls and worked on the general maintenance of the building. The job involves a little bit of everything from locker repairs to regulating the thermostat, commented head custodian Al Reitmier. 1.

Underclassmen progress toward maturit lust before I first came to LC, said freshman Eric Philips, I thought the ceilings would be covered with clouds of smoke and that all sorts of stonies would be sauntering through the halls. Of course it's really nothing at all like that. Phillips was only one of many freshmen who found most of their initial qualms baseless and who had no trouble adjusting to the freer atmosphere of high school. One particular freedom enjoyed was the choice of elective classes, which was first minimal but which grew as students progressed through the grades. Yet, sophomore Karen Hellstrom said, The classes have been easier this year, but deciding what electives to take next year isn't easy at all. Still, students almost unanimously agreed that electives were far more interesting than required classes. In explaining his preference, junior Don Hopkins said, In these classes, the teachers are much more into what they're doing. A large part of many underclassmen's time was taken up by extra-curricular activities, especially sports. But there was some dissatisfaction with the attitude by which many programs were run. junior Pam Nanny, an avid basketballer, said, There's too much emphasis placed on winning and on jocky- ness. Many students also said that a job or other committment competed against school activities for their time, but very few said they were inactive by choice. Unquestionably, high school was a time of change. Sophomore Clysie Brooks commented, After you've had time to adjust, you find that your attitudes just aren't the same as they were during your first few months here. Classmate Marc Norikane felt that this change continued indefinitely, and he remarked, Being a sophomore or junior is like being in limbo. You're not scorned like a frosh yet you still don't command the respect that a senior does. High school was also a time of difficult moral decisions. junior Victor Luce said, Peer pressure places too much importance on drugs and 'making it' sexually. This is really only self-destructive. To the underclassmen, high school meant fear, awe, joy, excitement, and above all challenge. I've enjoyed my freshman year, said Cheryl Henley, but the next few years will be even better. 1
