We fit into the community Different fads made the year unique. For boys, platform shoes, argyle socks, and cuffed pants were the current styles. Girls add- ed more pants to their wardrobes, and no one was without a pair of jeans. Though the comment There's nothing to do in Logansport was often heard, students were found in activities all over the commu- nity. During summer, kids basked in the sun at France Park and maybe stopped at the Custard afterwards. Others worked long hours to earn spending money or college money. School-time activities included watching or participating in ath- letic events, attending after-game dances, or hanging out at Eastgate or Bowlmor. A, B, and C. LHS students display the latest styles: jeans, the layered look, and platform shoes.
