Inside, a diligent student works just a few more problems. Five sheets of paper and two hours later, he is finally finished. At midnight, the dog- eared book is closed, the study lamp is turned off, and the weary student crawls into bed, glad to finally have finished. This scenario was experienced by many students as they worked to finish an essay for language, an art project, their algebra, or other homework. With a new policy stating that students receiving two F s on a deficiency or report card couldn't participate in extra-curricular ac- tivities for five weeks, grades became doubly important. Academic participation was encourag- ed after we joined the newly-formed Show-Me Conference. Through the con- ference, contests were opened to students in many areas including math, speech, industrial arts, science and fine arts. A Scholars' Bowl matched the top students from conference schools in March. Missouri Commissioner of Education, Arthur Mallory encouraged students to succeed academically at an academic banquet hosted by Superintendent William Page. John Lemmel spent three weeks dur- ing the summer at the Scholars Academy in Columbia, chorus attended a workshop, chemistry made a hot air balloon to study gas laws, Art I sent Christmas cards to servicemen overseas, and many other students worked on im- proving grades. But academics didn't stop outside the classroom door. On-the-job training and our participation in extracurricular activities furthered our development even more. So who says LHS wasn't scholarly? Studying centripetal acceleration, Shaun Spang and Mike Nolting put together an experiment in a new Physics class.

Feeling chic is easy for Mike Nolting after learn- ing he had been the escort of the Homecom- ing queen. lOf Opening Section Who says LHS wasn t Her hair slightly longer on one side had a rounded cut which fell along her eyebrow The earrings she chose didnt match: one was a diamond stud' the other a dangling cross seeeded with diamonds. She wore a red shaker knit sweater and black stirrup pants. On her arm she wore red and black bracelets. Cn her feet she wore red pumps. Could this be a student from LHS? Yes, this description fit many as we tried to stay with the latest styles. Charly Earley was one person we look- ed to first to see what the newest style was. Fashion almost seemed to be a game to see who would wear the most outlandish outfit. Shaker knit sweaters and stirrup pants were the most popular outfit. The ever-popular pair of jeans ac- quired a new look with two-tone colors and floral prints. Varsity sweaters, over- sized shirts and sweater dresses were also favorites. Tony Hudson showed that guys could play the game too when he got his ear pierced. As other guys followed suit, Tony kept one step ahead by choosing wild styles of earrings such as flourescent orange feet. Rubber bracelets were also popular for guys and girls Fashion didn t however dominate our world we were chic in other ways too Surely Laura Mantle felt an air f sophistication and excitement when she received roses as did Monica Monroe receiving an engagement ring for her birthday and Tammy Robinson when she got a fur coat for Christmas. We felt a little classy when we attended a symphony concert for credit points in band. We may have felt dignified as we ready a play by Shakespeare or listened to Bach. Elegant was the way we felt when we attended the formal school dances. Girls took hours choosing a dress, then hours in the bathroom getting ready. Boys had to find a suit or tux to wear, be sure Mom ordered a corsage, and get the car clean. Excitement bubbled as we entered the doorg expecting a night we would never forget. Yes, we had our special moments when we felt sophisticated, dignified, and elegant. So who says LHS wasn't chic? ..... Receiving a flower from an up- perclassman could make any freshman feel chic.
