Even though we were in a small town, we didn't live in a time rutg we kept up with the current events. The Cardinals and Royals domination of the World Series was known to all of us. To see the games became a top priori- ty to students. We listened to the games on car radios or on transistor radios stashed in our lockers. We were found glued to television sets in our homes, at play practice and even in the high school library when some teachers allowed students to watch during class. Anyone lucky enough to actually attend a game became the envy of everyone else. The whole school became caught up in the series which was won by the Royals with a close four games to three. Students also stayed current on more serious matters affecting the world such as Aids, which killed over 7500 people, and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger on January 28. Hlt was a major shock to everyone, especially since it was the first time a teacher was aboard, said Aimee Waggoner. We also stayed current on topics af- fecting our area such as the new Missouri lottery which began on January 20 and offered 586,000 to instant winners. Movies, television and radio were also on our minds. Miami Vice made it 'okay' to stay home on Friday nights, and Rocky defended us in Rocky IV. While Dire Straits sang about Money For Nothing, we were spending our money, 57.95, on the latest cassettes. And the students continued to help Burger King in their search for Herb . . .

Who says LHS wasn't Let's work on it and see what happens was often the reaction when someone got a new and different idea for an activity. Our best always seemed to come through because of compromises, hard work and our spirit of involvement. One successful new idea was a pep assembly in conjunction with the first- ever bonfire. Students gathered at the fieldhouse to listen to the band play, watch the cheerleaders, meet the basket- ball players and join in a snake dance to the parking lot to burn the cardboard Eugene eagle. lt sparked the beginning of a new tradition of spirit. The purchase of team sweaters by the basketball players was another idea that was worked on and achieved. When meeting an opponent, the Wildcats and Kittens showed their spirit in vivid red and white. Forming a SADD fStudents Against Driving Drunkl Chapter was literally worked on to see what happened. New for our area, there were doubts whether it would go over with the students, but, once again we achieved our goal. Follow- ing informative presentations, 139 students our of 246 signed the Contract for Life. Students weren't the only ones with spirit. The Linn Pizza Place served free pizza to the basketball teams and cheerleaders after home games and to the band following parades. The booster club raised money to purchase new uniforms and provide funding for the track. As each organization brought up new ideas, this spirited invovement kept growing. So who says LHS wasn't spirited?' . to Enjoying the free pizza, Tom Brandt, David Moffet and Tim Monroe dig in after a basketball game.
