While traditions are an integral part of school, changes have oc- curred as well at L.H.S. New principal, Mr. Doug Killough has given the students of L.H.S. a new outlook in class participation. The new- ly installed bleachers allow more Fighting Farmer fans to see our winning football team in action. The new marquee informs all of up- coming events and activities such as the after game dances that have once again become a part of L.H.S. The new-wave music played at these dances inspires students to wear their hair and dress according to new times. These changes are just steps leading to the future. The new district brought new challenges to the Farmer sports teams but they held strong and conquered even the toughest teams.
