LOOKING BACK ON THE 70'S The 1 'Seventies 1 brought about a big change in the lifestyles of the typical American school. Hairstyles, dress codes, get-togethers, and fads were altered by a decade of change. Life at Lost River High School was not unaffected. Nine years ago, Lost River students were not allowed to wear Levis to school, (Wow, would we have been lost)! Moccasins and cowboy boots were out. There were no army jackets or sweat shirts at all. Girls could not wear pants and guys could not wear beards. Something that has not changed at Lost River, even after ten years, is the schools' spirit and pride. Led by a young and enthusiastic faculty, the turnout and performance of Lost River students in both academic and extracurricular activities has been tremendous. Rally squads have been making posters and leading yells to bring everyone into the picture and pep assemblies have really been getting the spirit off the ground. The turnout for girls' sports, almost unheard of in 1970, has been great. This has resulted in several successful seasons for the volleyball, basketball and track teams during the last few years. With many talented athletes to choose from, countless winning teams have come from the practice fields at Lost River High School, and gone on to win several league and even state trophies. Lost River athletics, both boys' and girls', are a real threat to opponents in the Klamath County League. It is now 1979. The last of the 70's. A very young school has come a very long way in the past decade and it has paid off. Through the efforts of students, faculty, parents and friends, Lost River High School has definitely established itself as a top academic and extracurricular school in the county, and even the state.
