Ho. Ao. Ao The spirit of Christmas was in the air as the final few days of school before the holidays came to an end. Teachers and students decorated their doors with everything from mistletoe to pictures of Santa Claus and his reindeer. A few teachers decorated their classrooms with Christmas trees, and as usual a Christmas tree was put up in the cafeteria. Before the vacation holidays the annual Christmas dance was held. Everyone who attended seemed to enjoy themselves. The students who gathered to celebrate Christmas represented not only the spirit of the season, but the spirit of “togetherness” in our student body. It may not have snowed on Christmas Day, but we certainly had a white Christmas as shown in this picture.

20 Valentines Heart to Heart In an effort to raise money for their already approaching junior year, the sophomores once again sponsored the annual Valentines Dance. On the evening of February 18th, many students and their dates headed for the LHS gym to spend an evening “Heart to Heart.”’ As the couples entered the building they were greeted by a cheerfully decorated bulletin board announcing the theme of the dance and the admission fee. Once inside the gym, with the parachute covering the beams and festive paper hearts placed randomly around the gym on the walls and bleachers, the room was hardly recognizable as the place in which all athletic events occur. The music, which kept everyone on their feet and moving to the beat, was provided by David Felts and Sammy Moore. When asked what she thought about the dance, sophomore Monica Wilson replied, ‘| was surprised there wasn’t more of a turn-out for it but in general | think it was a good dance. Everyone seemed to be hav- ing fun.” Another sophomore, Katherine Overbeck, commented ‘“‘The music was great — really good dancing music.”’ In spite of the small number of students in attendance, the proceeds from the dance certainly boosted the sophomores’ financial situation, and all students who did attend seemed to enjoy themselves. The Theme says it all.
