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.

We were literally casual in our main at- tire of faded jeans or sweats, scuffed Nikes and T-shirts, and when the sizzling summer heat hit in September, we donn- ed shorts and tanks. Not only were our clothes casual, but we also had a casual attitude as though to say there wasn't anything we couldn't do. This casual attitude was sometimes a cover up for fears or insecurities we felt as a freshman on the first day, on that first date, or when we were forced to pay for our tardiness in the new Saturday detention. We waited for someone else to make the first move so we didn't look stupid, said Rhonda Peters, freshman, commen- ting on the first day of school. There were also our casual friendships. We knew our friends liked us for who we were. We didn't have to worry about them seeing us without our makeup, in dirty clothes, or a little inebriated, because we knew they would still be there for us. These were the friends with whom we W ,wwf goofed off in class, spent our mornings in the Tech Lounge studying or talking, cruised Linn or did i'nothing as we told our parents. We were sometimes casual around or teachers. Many students got i'lost dur- ing class and ended up at the office talk- ing to Pat and Betty, or in the library causing disturbances for Mrs. Bower and Mrs. Livingston. Many times you could find students discussing problems with one of their teachers, jammin down in Art with Mr. Crow, Ohh ing and aah ing over Mrs. Case's baby pictures, or talking with Mrs. Gleven about the real world. l like Art because you can listen to the radio, relax, and Mr. Crow is pretty cool, said Rhonda Keonigsfeld, sophomore. Sometimes we acted casual at the wrong times and it got us into trouble. But, most of us knew how we should act where and when and we were OK. Casual was the way we were. lt was how we felt. lt was us. So who says LHS wasn't casual? qpwsofi' 'Silas-:.x.. .. k .-is. - i --N. N .. . .WLQ5 i -5. snugly...
