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

Last July 235 high school students, including Lisa Smith, Carla Morrill, Marie Mamaril, and Marianne Knoy, attended Indiana Llniversity's Journalism Institute. Despite early classes and constant rain showers, their dedication never faltered. For two weeks the students plunged into more than six hours of classes and lectures. Workshop instructors recognized Marianne Knoy's project with an award and presented Lisa Smith with the honor of having her article printed in lLl's school paper. HSJI provided them with valuable yearbook experience and lasting friendships. For seven days at Indiana State University, over 900 junior boys from all over the state learned the fundamentals and election process of state government. The week's activities included the enacting of an entire mock government on the city, county, and state level. The following week at lSLl brought 811 junior girls for the annual Hoosier Girls State. Organized by the American Legion Auxiliary, the activities for H.G.S. resembled the format of H.B.S. Following twelve hours of frantic campaigning, the delegates were either appointed or elected into office. ln addition to the government program, several speakers, including Jane Pauley, a past H.G.S. governor, addressed the group. A talent show and honors program brought to a close an exciting, educational week for both Hoosier Boys and Girls State delegates. Beth Kovacs, Deb Rusk, Phil Snyder, Mark Swayze For one week last summer Student Council members from all over the state met to learn new qualities to better lead their fellow students in the upcoming school year. Attending the Student Leadership Institute, held on the lLl campus, were council members Alice Wolf, Lisa Mucker, Mark Holt, Phil Snyder, and Bob Vernon. Along with the learning aspects of the institute, each morning brought a lesson in calisthenics. While the more ambitious looked forward to the morning exercises, others dreaded those waking hours and usually prayed for rain. All in all, the week provided members with numerous experiences that would aid them in improving their Student Councils. Student Life
