Rabbits, Skateboards, And Hey Dude What Do These English? e To In putting a jigsaw puz- zle together, have you ever noticed the many shapes and sizes you use before the pieces all fit? Well, in the English lan- guage here at LHS, you will find as many shapes and puzzling influences as you find in a jigsaw puzzle. Most of our Eng- lish language originates from a foreign language or country. We have few good ole American-' words, such as: wheels, shades, jocks, babe, etc ... We use many words everyday that we think of as American, but actually are foreign, such as: coyote, wolf, prairie, pumpkin, etc ... But the students here at LHS are working hard to produce an American concept of the Enqlish language. As History? you walk down LHS halls, you will hear endearing terms such as: Hey, Dude by Meredith Kahl; Dah .. Huh ... Dah .. Huh by Curtis Griscom; •| @ by almost every- one; Okie Dokie by those who mean yes; and aaah so by those who just solved an earth-shat- tering puzzle. Of course, this is just a sampling of how the LHS version of the English language is progressing, but each of us should realize that foreign language is a part of our daily lives. LHS students are actually speaking in a foreign dia- lect just by opening their mouths, even if it's only to utter Dah .. Huh ... Dah .. Huh .. HOW that is puzzling. Have you ever dreaded going to a History class because of boring lec- tures, thousands of names, dates, and places, or just because you thought who needs history anyway? Well, al- though we don't have students like Karen Cheatham going on joy rides down the hall on a skateboard this year, we do have students like Sarah Epps who fall asleep in the middle of one of Mr. Kinzer's “brief' lectures. Howev- er, each of us should re- member that we have to learn from the history of yesterday in order to un- derstand tomorrow. This year marks the 200th an- niversary of our Constitu- tion; and in 1988 we will celebrate our 140th year of the Lincoln school sys- tem. Although, many stu- dents here at LHS feel their days are dull and ordinary , their foot- steps, often left in haste will always be remem- bered in the history of our halls. In reserving our own special place in history, we observe Mr. Springer's English class air the preamble of our Constitution over the in- tercom; Mrs. Smith erect- ing an LHS Constitution of our own so that the students could record their own piece of histo- ry; and Mr. Kinzer dress- ing in his ever famous History attire. And of course, at one time or another we all wonder what a bunny rabbit cos- tume has to do with his- tory but only Mr. Kinzer himself could answer that. OO Mflth Lucinda. Is Mrs. Farrell doing one of her ballet steps, again? Hurry up. classl Dan Anastasio is leaving you to eat his dust!

Arc you serious? Jason Carr is quite obviously a jock dressed in his football Jersey. What preps! Stylish dressing seems to be a natural part for Matt Miggins and Rhonda Burk- hart. What a face! By this picture, Cheryl Pratt proves to us she's definitely not a wallflower. Watch That Guy DanceIII Shawn Paine, a junior, has been noticed by many students for his fantastic dancing, but being from Los Angeles. Cali- fornia, it's no wonder he can dance so well! When Shawn was little, he used to watch the Breakers dance and it was easy for him to pick up on. Mow. break dancing and playing the guitar are his favorite hobbies. Shawn likes it here better than in LA. Why? “ Cause you don't get shot or stabbed here, and there aren't any gangs. I'm sure we can all understand that! Shawn enjoys dancing at Morma Jeans and Mardi Gras, and when asked what he thought about when he dances, he replied, “Mainly my girl- friend. Mow sweet! Shawn's fu- ture plans are to attend college at either harvard or UCLA, and his final remarks are Life with someone you love is like corn- flakes and milk. Mis words of wisdom to us all are Mever eat yellow snow!' What a crazy guy!!! 3
