Off Guard The irresistable urge to close your eyes, or to rest your head on the desk and fantasize is one that most everyone at school has felt at one time or an- other. The extent of this fantasizing varies with each individual. For some, it’s thoughts of next weekend. For oth- ers it may be thoughts of a “10” or curiosity about the next episode of General Hospital. Wether it be during Math class or an English class, every- one is subject to flights of imagination once in a while. To many, it occurs during class, but to others, the fresh outdoors inspires this contagious day- dreaming. A few of the most popular spots for inspirational thoughts or forty winks are the senior quad, American History class, and G-House ca feteria in between chess games. But at the sound of a bell or a nudge from a friend, stu- dents awaken from their dreams, and return to the blatant reality of school. I like dreamin’, cuz dreamin’ can make you mine... 26 But she’s been like this for three weeks...

Working And Spending Once the school day is over, the work really begins. LHS students rush to get to after school jobs that they hold. Fa- miliar faces can be seen behind the counter at Baskin Robbins or in the stock room at Decelle’s. The many teen waitors and waitresses at Mario’s, Pewter Pot, and Bel Canto are on their feet all day. Others are getting dish pan hands by washing dishes! LHS students can be found in the library after school checking out maga- zines, shelving books, and answering questions. The tables are always full of students working on essays or research papers. Students pouring over back is- sues of magazines, flipping through rolls of microfilm, and looking for sources keep the library buzzing with activity. Above: I only have 795 more books to go! “Boy, will OPEC love you.” Will they ever learn that the P’s are not shelved with the Q’s? 28 “We have 31 flavors and you want Vanilla??”’ What are the benefits of coming home exhausted late at night and put- ting in long shifts on weekends? Spend- ing the money for which they have worked so hard! On half- days, students can be seen eating out at the same restaurants they work for! Pizza, ice cream, hambur- gers, Chinese food — hard labor earns these treats! Extra income from work goes into buying the latest records and tapes as well as splurging on a new sweater or two! LHS students spend money on presents for their friends or treats for themselves! Others put all their money into buying or fixing a car! Hard work gets LHS students in practice for the future!
