Chemistry teacher Mr. Chip Coalter directs a group of students ' attention to a local point of interest. The first day of the 76-77 school year brought mixed emotions from everyone. Eighth graders shook with fright at the thought of their first full day at LHS. Some stu- dents walked around in a daze while they stared in disbelief at the walls. Others, who had found the summer a little too long and boring, were anxious to greet old friends and study class schedules. Everyone was anxious to see what teachers they would have, and to try out the new teachers. An assembly was held first thing, explaining some of the regulations of LHS. Then students picked up their schedules and went to first period classes. Although it was difficult to begin work after such a long vacation, the day passed without many groans. Bewildered eighth grade students arrive on campus one day early for orientation and to locate their classrooms. First Day of School 1 1

Cues are sent to Mr. Stark from backstage prompters whenever he forgets his lines during the skit. The magazine drive started off with an assembly to explain the sale of magazines. Crystal editors Carole Carver and Linda Morrison made short speeches about the yearbook; then a salesman talked to the stu- dent body about prizes and other benefits of the drive. A skit was next on the agenda, starring Mr. Stark in a little boy ' s role. It was received with a lot of laughs from everyone. The whole purpose of the magazine drive is to raise money for the yearbook. Although repeated pleas were made to the students from the Crystal staff, few people seemed to be listening, be- cause thegoal was not reached. The drive was extended, but this did little good. More magazines were sold, but these still did not help to reach the final goal. A series of AAAYS! come from the audience as Will Harris holds up a poster of the Fonz for all to see. Susan Lauck protects the lollipop she conned from Mr. Stark as Sally Scham- bach tries to grab it. Magazine drive sales GYMNASIUM 12 Chrono
