Through The Day Gary Lawton and David Marin look forward to another day at LHS. “Was that the first or second bell ?”’ is often asked by students as they come into school. Be it by foot, bus, or car, LHS students stumble in, hopefully be- fore the Pledge of Allegiance is over. Forty minute classes are an oasis in the middle of the week — a welcome change from the usual fifty-five min- utes. As the end of class is signaled, students seize the opportunity to enjoy the campus during five minutes of pass- ing time. However, walking across campus isn’t always safe. Future foot- ball stars practice tosses in the quad, but their aim doesn’t get a passing grade! Frisbee players are a new breed of athlete with equally as faulty aim! Others use their five minutes for greet- ing friends, basking in the sun, or eating a quick breakfast. A lot can be accom- plished if one makes creative use of a short time. Lunch is a welcomed break after three or four morning classes. Inflation has increased the price of lunches and made the once inexpensive meals seem like an exorbitant luxury. Some seniors can still remember when milk was only 5¢, and lunch was just 50¢. But infla- tion hasn’t touched the atmosphere surrounding lunch block. It is still a time to relax and eat, talk to friends, or fin- ish up homework for an afternoon class. Waiting in line for a meal eats up the half-hour and lunch passes all too quickly. Then it’s time for a quick good- bye to friends and a mad rush to get to next classes follows, but eventually 2:25 rolls around. Such activities as a team practice, an after school job, or a session at home watching ‘General Hospital’ are a welcome relief. What- ever one does after school, one thing is certain — 2:25 is the best time of day! Socializing on the way to class.

Hanging Out Throughout any day at LHS people are seen congregating at popular ‘“‘han- gouts’’. Students gather in the Main Quad to complain about many hours of homework done the previous night, or to plan a rendezvous for lunch. House cafeterias are favorite meeting places whether it be for snacks or hot lunch, the lunch rooms are heavily fre- quented. Many students, however, opt for a more scenic surrounding and share the Senior Quad, during lunch, with Frisbee enthusiasts, gathering for rigorous games of “‘ultimate’’. A quick football game can be joined between classes outside of C-house. Spectators are accomodated by the steps and “‘logs’’ outside of the Science building. Finally, class members can be found in the Library in various stages of study and conversation. No matter when, it is easy for one to locate a sizeable crowd at one of the established “hangouts” of the exten- sive LHS campus. John Nordhal adds a touch of class to the smok- ing area. Lynn Leonardi and Christine Looney discuss the latest news around L.H.S. Sandi Breitmaier and Don Coleman meet with friends at the “‘logs”’.
