Like Mother Like Daughter If these two faces re- semble each other maybe it’s because they are in fact, Librarian Mrs. Julie Larsen and Senior Courtney Larsen. So it’s alla matter of genetics. Hmmm ... Do the Larsen’s have something against having their pictures taken??? When not on the football field scoring touch- downs, Anthony Merchant takes time to just goof Off a little. FaceSmas

Sweet Face O’ Mine Everyone has seen a funny face at one time or another. Did it cheer you up when you were depressed? Did it make you laugh in the middle of En- glish class while you were taking the final test on Macbeth? Can you still pic- ture in your mind’s eye the best face that you've ever seen? Did it leave an impression on you? Yes folks, faces can do all of those things. But, do the faces leave the impressions or the people behind the faces? An examination of the subject might answer that question. The people making the faces must know exactly which face they wish to make. The type of face expresses the feelings the people want to convey to other people. The conclusion is that the people create the faces that leave the 12 Faces impressions on us. The motives for the faces are as varied as the people who make them. Some demented individuals make them only to get an enemy, or even possibly a friend, sent to STOP, be- cause of his lack of self-control. Other posers’ incentives are more sincere. Many experts agree that laughter cures all illnesses; therefore, an Occa- sional asinine expression is welcomed by the melancholy people of the world. Lonely creatures make the faces in an attempt to gain attention. They are usually quite successful. A number of faces exist that are caused by elements we have no con- trol over. One overcomes you on the first day of spring when you decide to go swimming, and you forget that the temperature of the water is ten to twenty degrees colder than the tem- perature on land. You dive right in and instantly remember, but it’s too late because as you surface your friends can tell from the exhibition on your visage that you're a total dweeb. Or the image could be youinamirrorona wall as you thrash to the newest Me- talli ca album in the privacy of your own bedroom. You can just blame that one on James Hetfield and company. No matter how you look at the faces, they do serve a purpose whether you know it or not. Simply because a few have been mentioned here, don't for- get that the majority are done for the fun of it. — Bobbie Jo Clawson Ivory Fields is given a few helping hands in por- traying the monster, Syila, from the Odyssey.

Red and White Attack The halls of LHS were bombarded with red and white during the spirit- filled week of Homecoming. All week, students and faculty unveiled their hidden spirit by participating in the various events throughout the week. Monday through Thursday, every- one showed his school spirit by wear- ing t-shirts with logos that ranged from ‘‘What a Pecker” to “Where was George?” hats, clothes that were worn backwards, and red and white. Some students raided their parents’ closets and donned their favorites 50’s and 60's outfits. A lot of students look forward to spirit week. Senior Delsa Johnson com- mented, ‘Spirit week was really fun. It gave the students a chance to act crazy and let off the stress that they were under. The student participation was higher this year than any other. As a senior, | found it more important that | get involved with school spirit no matter what year it is for you.” By Thursday night, spirits were high in anticipation of Friday night's game. The cheerleaders held their annual bonfire to spark the spirit for the Homecoming game. The cheerleaders spark the spirit of the crowd at the Homecoming bonfire. 14 Homecoming By Friday night, spirits were lit as fans covered half the football field with a spirit line. Soon the Lexington Scarlet Hurricane and Stuarts Draft Cougars met head-to-head in the cen- ter of the field. As the helmets clashed again and again it became evident that the teams were equally matched. The teams went into halftime with a 0-0 score. During halftime, Homecoming fes- tivities took place. For the Homecom- ing court, Freshmen Shelly Moore and Catherine Wagner represented their class. Once again, Michelle Reynolds and Becky Staton represented their class. However, this year they repre- sented the sophomore Class instead of the freshmen class. Junior class repre- sentatives were Christine Mueller and Julie Zollman. Senior representatives included Janice Black and Fannie Davidson. Anticipations which had been building during the week before Homecoming were released as Senior Melissa Philipps was crowned Queen and Senior Doug Magee was named King. Seniors Sharon McCormick and Troy Sibold received the title of Royal Attendants. After the court cleared the field, ten- sions mounted once again as the second half of the game began. The game was a hard fought bout with the Cougars clawing their way to a narrow victory of 14-7. Head Coach Dennis Vaught summed up the team’s feelings by comment- ing, ‘The spirit was great all during Homecoming week. Students and play- ers alike were very excited about the game. Even though we lost, we were all very proud of our effort.” Saturday night Homecoming festiv- ities came to an end with the tradi- tional dance. Students had a blast while Frankie Jackson provided music for the dance. Once again, the Home- coming Court was introduced and shared a dance with their football player escorts. Whether students participated or not, they all took a part in Spirit week even if it wasn’t visible. They came to school during the week, and had a blast at the pep rally. Spirit week is fun and it is a nice way to break up the monotonous school routine for a while. — B.J. Clawson — Kim Williams
