But, honest, I paid when I came in the first Varsity Club Student Leaders Look out below! Student Leaders As soon as the girl entered the basketball game, she was approached by a tall boy donned in an immaculate white letter sweater decorated with a blue and gold arm band. “Would you like to buy a program?” he asked. “All proceeds go to the Varsity Club’s scholarship fund.” “How can I refuse?” she asked, as she reached for her wallet . In one part of the field house a girl gracefully vaulted over the “horse.” In a distant corner, another girl was “skinning the cat” on the ropes. On the basketball court, the boys were engaged in a rough game of basketball while other members of the “gold group” could be seen sprinting their five laps on the track. Thi s is the Student Leader’s Corp work session. The Corps is a new gym program offered at LHS this year. Qualified students are chosen for the purpose of assisting the gym teachers—and getting an opportunity to further develop themselves athletically. 29

I can’t wait ‘til she gets it out of low gear! Equestrian Club moving the muscles Nervous beginner attaches runaway straps to his rented Head skiis. Ski Club The gi rls hair bobbed up and down while she cantered around the ring. Before taking to the bridle paths she wanted to exercise her horse. 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

Modern Dance warms up Clad in her black leotard, black tights, and bare feet, the willowy black-haired girl moved gracefully to the beat of the drum. Rehearsals were important now, for Mrs. Anderson was helping to prepare the Modern Dance Club for the winter gym demonstration and the A.F.S. dance. Creating their own dance patterns, the girls had composed a dance using percussive, sustained, and locomotor movements. As Mrs. Anderson said “Focus,” the girl’s eyes sought the floor . Attired in clinging white levis, the tall lanky boy entered Room 153, which buzzed with eager art enthusiasts. Mrs. Theriault quieted the group so that the Art Club meeting could be called to order. Plans were announced for the annual jewelry sale which would benefit the scholarship fund. “Possibly,” thought the lanky boy, “I could win the scholarship if. . .” I concentrated more on that sketch I started at home. His thoughts now turned to that fun-filled field trip to Rockport, held at the end of the year. Maybe this year it wouldn’t rain and he could get a tan .
