Medical Club explores health fields We all know that the average field trip is enjoyable, exciting and all around fun. Well, if you enjoy field trips you should have been a member of the 1979-80 LHS Medical Club. The interest in the club grew this year to fifteen members. Going on a field trip once a month to a medical-re- lated place served as their meetings. The purpose of the group was to make inter- ested students aware of the health-related professions that are available. Sponsor Mrs. Carol Epp said, It is interesting work- ing with the students involved in this club. It is also interesting to see the different health areas that are changing all the time. 1979-80 MEDICAL CLUB—Row I: Shane Podraza. Martha Hillman Row 2: Rashidah Abdullah. Mrs Joan Huffer.

Formerly known as Coed Counselors, their purpose is to introduce new students to the school. They do this in many ways. Early in the year they held a sophomore orientation. Other activities were giving tours of the school, having student get-to- gethers and during the Alumni Weekend, they were in charge of escorting alumni around the school. Comrade President Ruth Boham reflected on her year saying, My time was well spent. I wish more people would have been involved. 1979-80 COMRADES—Standing: Greg Kats. Ruth Boham.

Seniors Involved Were you one of those students going to a bizarre meeting the second Wednes- day of each month? If you were then you were one of the active members of the Senior Steering Committee. Bizarre was a good word to describe this group because of its size. The well-organ- ized group had a blasting membership of approximately 60 students. In the past years the committee consisted of around 20 members. Members became involved by a volun- tary sign-up in the counselor's office. They were warned that the faculty sponsors. Mrs. Alma Howdeshell and Dr. Jean Kleitsch, reserved the right to remove any member who failed to meet his or her obligations. Two of the main goals set for the steer- ing committee were Joy Might and selec- tion of the class gift Joy Might, entitled 20th Century Live, was held on the evenings of January 17 and 19. Tammy Preston took charge of this LHS event by being student director. Entirely student directed. Joy Night consisted of acts.
