Marching in Style Frenzied football games, noisy basketball games, and raucous pep rallies were all a part of band. It seemed as though wherever a ball was tossed, the band was there to entertain the spectators, while the team rested, and to raise the spirits of the team while they played ball. Football games, unlike basketball games, required a great deal of careful planning. While basketball game playing was more of a come — as — you — are — ana — have — a — great — time” fling, marching at a halftime show involved uniformity, seriousness, and precision. The members of the band played the respective roles as needed when needed. Yet another atmosphere was to be created as band members put away their marching shoes, hats, and overlays and donned formal attire for concert band. In past years, the LHS concert band has gone to the Tri-State Music Festival in Enid and twice earned the Outstanding Band award. This year, after receiving Superior Ratings at District Contest and going on to State, they decided to shoot higher and attend the Six Flags Over Texas band contest. After many hours of rehearsing, re-rehearsing, counting, adjusting, and learning, the band was ready to take tne 190 mile trip to Dallas, Texas. At the contest, they reached not only their goal of a Superior rating, but went above and beyond their goal and received in the mail a trophy for Outstanding Band in Class 2A.

F.H.A. Treats Us Royally Beginning with a splash, the 1982-83 Chapter of Future Homemakers of America kick- ed off the year with a swimm- ing party to welcome the new members. As the year progressed, the group was busy with projects — the best of which was a ‘‘munching success.-' Two times during the year in 3 consecutive-day sessions, students and faculty packed away 2,500 donuts. Along with the over-indulgence of tasty donuts came abnormal behavior. Students suddenly became willing to sacrifice 20c in order to bribe a teacher into setting aside work to pork out.” Since the way to a students’ money is through his stomach, the FHA members played on Terry B., alias Santa Claus, Shelly Me. and Shena |. arrive on the scene at the Sunset Manor Nursing Home to provide Christmas cookies for the residents | right).

Newly installed FHA officers stand ready to take the challenge for the future (below). the students' weaknesses by selling nachos. They also got in good with the football players and coaches by providing an early breakfast during Homecoming week. Although food played a ma- jor part in FHA, other projects were included in the schedule. The officers and representatives took a trip to the Sub District Rally at Chickasha. Later the chapter made a trip to the State Sub District Rally at the Myriad and to a concert at the Civic Center Music Hall to see “Sunshine Express.” The 1982 National Delegate to Atlanta, GA. was Tammy Cooksey and the 1983 Delegate to Washington D.C. was janis Scott. The football boys and coaches enjoy the homecoming breakfast prepared by the FHA members (middle right). Donut sales are great if selling and eating is all that has to be done (right). Icky, gooey, sticky, chewy — FHA members delight in doing donuts (far right). 26 - FHA
