lt was eventually determined that 9896 of the student population did indeed brush their teeth and the biggest percentage of the brushes were slathered with cavity-fighting Crest C322 votesj. Many LHS students showed a preference to the funny blue stuff - Aim 1125 votesj, and, of course, there were those who were partial to the fresh breath and dazzling smile promised by Close-Llp Q92 votesl. When busy Berry guys and gals found time to watch TV, they most often tuned in to Mork and Mindy. Mork from Ork, receiving 151 votes, achieved an easy win over Three's Company which gained only 51 votes in the survey. The popular late night comedy, variety show, Saturday Night Live, captured a surprisingly low 44 votes for a third-place finish. Did you ever wonder what your fellow students do in their spare time? The survey showed that Berry people worked hard at preserving the old LHS tradition of the weekend party. Reading came out as the second most enjoyed pastime - what a contrast! Biking emerged as the third most enjoyed way to spend time. The votes of 203 football fans dominated the favorite sport poll as the popular sport held a comfortable margin over second- ranked basketball C115 votesj. Being a three- time state title winner didn't help baseball much, as the Berries cast only 89 votes for the spring sport. LHS students are definitely Pepsi people. ln the favorite drink category students voted Pepsi as the personal favorite over Coke by a vote of 217-161. The sparkling taste of Sprite received 81 votes for a rank of third, followed by Dr. Pepper, which received 54 votes. While the reported heights varied from 8'6 to 23 , through careful study it has been concluded that a typical LHS student is 5'7 . The fact that many people forgot to report their weight made this poll rather confusing, but our educated guess is that a regular LHS student weighs approximately 140 pounds. Student Life

These are a few of our favorite things ln keeping with the Congressional ruling requiring a census every decade, a poll was taken of LHS students and teachers for the year 1979-80. Questions were raised over such burning issues as peanut butter, toothpaste, transportation, food, music, soft drinks, height and weight, free time activities, sports, and television. The results were astonishing. The survey showed that teachers were the least likely to respond to any of the questions, while the most frequently ignored question overall was that one involving weight. After countless hours of extensive research, poll-takers at last uncovered the nature of a typical Berry. HefShe eats fried rattlesnakes, watches Captain Kangaroo, listens to Lawrence Welk on the stereo of his four-door camel, and engages in nuclear warfare. Futhermore, hef she likes Elf peanut butter, drinks Marsh cream soda, and uses no toothpaste! Oops! Wrong results! Here are the real findings: 329 LHS gourmets named pizza the delicacy of the year, while those whose tastes were less refined cast votes for steak 1741, tacos 1455, and spaghetti 1411. Although a few loyal Berries listed the LHS Music Department as their favorite group, ELO and Cheap Trick finished on top with ,51 votes each. Styx captured the 42 spot in the music poll with 45 votes, followed closely by Supertramp with 42. LHS students like to move on wheels, be they car, truck, cycle, or skateboard, according to the transportation survey. Cars of various types were an obvious favorite, receiving 428 votes, however, several votes were cast for such energy savers as bicycles and skateboards. The peanut butter poll proves that choosy students choose Jif, which topped Peter Pan, 301 to 261 votes. Well, at least a few people still believe in peanut butter. 20 Student Life l, N Mike Harrington in , I l' ., N X J Y ! S
