Yearbook Staff ‘‘Where’s the copy scale?” shouted the tired girl, trying to make her voice heard over the chattering of other yearbook editors and three typewriters. Each deadline found D1 in chaotic clutter—strewn with people, paper, pictures, and layout sheets.

Phew, we can’t print that. Give it to Focus. High Spot Staff As he raced into the crowded Publications Office, the frantic High Spot editor screamed, “Hurry up with that paste-up, or we’ll never get this paper to press in time. Who cut up the editorial copy?—the whole middle section is missing. Stop drawing all over that blackboard and come help. Look out, look out, you just spilled ink on the cartoon. . .” The blackboard of G23 was covered with little witticisms while the Focus staff sat sprawled on the floor, engaged in a brain-storming session to think up a theme for the Spring issue of their literary magazine. “No, no,” cried the editor, “we've already done morality to death!” Desperately she called for the staff to think harder and search their souls. The new sixteen- page format was making quite an impression, displaying the creativity of LHS’s art, photography, and literary talents. . Heh, no wonder High Spot sent it to us. Focus Staff 26

Soon the Equestrian Club would start practicing jumping. “Bend your knees, bend your knees. Now turn!” cried the girl in the colorfully flowered parka and stretch pants. The Ski Club was sponsering lessons at the golf course for all members wishing to improve their style. On one slope, the Junior Ski Club could be seen practicing some fundamentals of the sport, while the Senior Club members on another slope were performing more intricate techniques. . . Several afternoons a week, members of the Chess Club can be seen engrossed in a game in the D unit cafeteria. “Chess is an art, a winning combination you have created,” explained one member to another. ‘After you learn how to defend the king, we will concentrate on giving you experience to win matches with other schools”. . . If he only knew! Chess Club 28
