fa t s4t itete Sfoinitf Just look at us now! How we have grown since 1953 when LCHS opened its doors to 600 students after a strug- gle to pass a bond referendum, to con- struct a school, to set up a school dis- trict for Bartonville students who did not have their own high school, to be- come what we have become today — a proud school with proud students, proud faculty, proud staff, and proud administrators who can honestly say. Hey. just look at us now! We're some- thing special! We really do reflect ex- cellence in education! Just LOOK at us now! The 1987-88 school year was a very good year, filled with good things and some not-so-good things as well. It was a year in which our students achieved and grew and matured in ways that made the community proud tcTsay. These are our Rockets. Just look at them go! Just look at them grow! Just look at them achieve! Just look at them win! These are OUR ROCKETS! They're special! Students danced to the music of Pink Floyd. Whi- tesnake. The Cure. The Jets. Tiffany. Debbie Gibson, and R.E.M. Students cheered as the Lost Boys sucked blood from their victims, danced along with Partick Swayzey. rolled up their pantlegs. tie-dyed their t-shirts and wore high-top Converse, or dressed as cornchip or preppy as the spirit moved them. It was a year svhen even the strictest diets were ruined by a little critter called Choco-Bliss. and Hostess capitalized, as did the makers of Diet Coke. Students could be seen at hot spots like Thrills and Stage ? enjoying the rock scene. And yet. in the midst of this modern scene, they turned right around and appeared in the fashion of the twelfth century as they once again presented a best in the area — may- be even in the state madrigal dinner, dressed in their best clothes to receive scholastic honor medals, wore the blue and white colors of our athletic teams, excelled in public speaking, marched in an outstand-marching band in field competition and in area parades, com- peted in contests for business educa- tion. art. welding, and automotive re- pair. each time achieving recognition for their school, standing tall with the challenge to the world. Just look at us now! The year brought changes in faculty assignments as Mrs. Sherrill Morris became a cour Mrs. Phyllis Doxstader. who took Mrs. Morris’ place as Resource teacher. Mr. Larry Hodge took over as athletic di- rector from Mr. George Kasap. who re- turned part-time to The classroom. New faces were seen on the faculty as LCHS welcomed to its staff Miss Mi- chelle Me Evoy. special education teacher. Mr. Alvin Lloyd, social studies. Mrs. Judy Hultgren. SEAPCO aide, and Mrs. Evaline Durham and Mrs. Mary Rowen as directors of the new tutoring program for students at risk. Opening 3
