Strange things seem to happen Routine was often interrupted by odd occurrences. For almost two weeks, the day began with fifteerf- minute head lice hunts. Students overcame embarrassment as home room teachers fearfully pencil-probed through masses of hair. Wind-blown snow piled into enor- mous drifts causing schools to close. The weather hurt motorists but aided Tattler Staff in making a deadline. Mr. Rice, in some unknown fash- ion, was locked out of his classroom and had to call the janitors to unhinge the door to Room 122. Unusual happenings made LHS our world. A. Head checks offer chances for letting one's windshield C If we slip this in here maybe hair down, Mary Hooton and Mr. Lozier dis- we can trip the lock Mr Rice explains to Dave cover. B. Released from classes, Vicki Baker and Snyder Todd Sholty enjoy shoveling snow from Todd's 4

Looks like motorcycles win the battle for parking space, doesn't it, Betsy? 3 No longer could students both sleep late and enjoy a hearty breakfast. School called for late sleeping and no breakfast or for early rising and a good morning meal. The sixty-seven- step climb to the top floor, however, seemed even steeper to the late risers with empty stomachs. With the approach of cooler weath- er, squabbles broke out. Window set- tings usually satisfied no one. And on the subject of temperatures, the ther- mometer reading had to be extremely high before an ailing student received permission to go home. Witches were almost burned, not hanged, when a mop caught fire at Crucible practice. Two new fads held definite draw- backs. Long hair caught in the backs of chairs, and too-common Smile buttons induced frowns. An old fad, gum-chewing, was a problem to those who couldn't remember which teach- ers disapproved of chomping in class. Our world of summer changed to that of a new world, the world of LHS.

Clubs be- gan meeting at 8:20 a.m. instead of during fifth period: home room still met on Wednesday, but at 8:30 a.m. First period began every day at 8:45. There was one disadvantage to the new schedule: lunch lines formed one- half hour later. Voluntary pep ses- sions and Cheerblock meetings were held on Friday mornings and on the days of our tourney basketball games. Each day the halls grew more crowded during class periods. Mr. Ottinger remarked to his seminar class that there would be no more par- ties in the girls' restrooms! Chaos occurred when choir members re- turned from programs. People gazing at an already memorized bulletin board lost their place in the telephone line. School life between 8:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. was not only a world in it- self but a part of a larger world cen- tered around LHS.
