We live each day itiation into L-Club. Smelling like fish bait, wearing before tomorrow. burlap underwear and sitting in the fountain were Our interests led us into a world outside of school, all a part of their last day of school. 4 At times school events took a back seat to current events. Gasoline prices rose higher and higher, and when a car crashed into a wall at Meriwether School all other events seemed trivial. The picture reminded us of the other wrecks that had happened throughout the year. Freddy Naxera and Chuck Graham showed us a different kind of courage and maturity. As each day passed we learned more about each other and ourselves. Participating in Business and Professional Women’s community fashion show was fun for several LHS students. Shown are Vicki Waltman and Jerri Ince. The cramped environment of the Middle School shop encouraged the community to pass a bond issue for a new Vocational Agricultural building on the high school grounds. 5 Reac4 far Stow, Our activities were many and diversified, from sitting in the quadrangle during lunch to listening to an army recruiter on College-Career Day. The seniors decided on their future plans while freshmen just tried to get along with the upperclassmen, not worried about the future, yet. We had no AFS student but Carrie from Australia visited for a week. Area businessmen lent a day to the students for Free Enterprise Day, to inform students of how the system works. Each student gained something, whether from the cartoon or the lectures. Incredible as it seemed, students were faced with the fear of a murderer and a rapist. Louisiana was not as safe for kids as the community would have liked. But even when things looked bleak we always had good old LHS to look forward to: the smiling faces of friends and teachers, the friendly atmosphere and the green paint in the girls bathroom provided us with our home away from home. 7 7 ute rd 7 eve 2 tt, 2cU e 70eve 70 t, The year had some of the most unusual times anyone could ask for. In the all-school play, Sally Behringer, Mandy McCarty and Christy Hart were terrible trolls. After 444 days, Iran finally released our hostages. A TV network had said that America was kept hostage, and from the relief and enthusiasm felt here and across the nation, it may have been so. Many will always remember the inauguration of Ronald Reagan which coincided with final negotiations for freeing the hostages. 70 a, J fruter Student leaders were treated to lunch by Chamber of Commerce members to decide on improvements that could be made in Free Enterprise Day. Some events were humorous to observers. A busload of Area Vocational School commuters saw this bizarre accident on their way to school one day. Accidents were not infrequent with sports, the weight room and youthful energies to contend with, but there was always someone close by to help in times of emergency. The weight room artwork was done by Darren Goodhart. Students were reminded of changing times as they lived from day to day. A school break-in early in the year showed that the newly installed gates were no real defense against violent acts, which were increasing. Then, as the year drew to a close, news about Coach Blanton’s resignation reminded students that nothing really ever stays the same. They must learn to accept change. What hadn’t changed was seeing Louisiana’s award winning drill team, Apple Core, giving their sharp performance for football games and parades. 10 patfatfe tfcuuie, Sixteen-year-old Robert Brownfield, visiting violinist, gave an outstanding performance of high-brow music which delighted nis “new wave” style audience. Performance was- what pompon girls were all about as they lent style to tne marching band. School busses not only take kids to school, which may have been the reason tires were slashed, but they also take groups away from school for field trips, festivals and other new experiences. This year many classes and groups “took to the road,” and if their drivers could be persuaded, made “rest stops” along the way. 11 a 'Z ceuze For those who wanted something to do, the year was an active, even exhausting one. Some students tried to get into everything and ran into a maze of scheduling conflicts. Others chose just enough outside activities to avoid conflicting with their studying, jobs or other commitments. Some stayed away from almost everything and then complained about being bored. A few promised to do things and then didn't do them, which left their job to someone else. But whether helping with Prom, fee-wheeling with friends, getting a start on a summer tan or being contentedly alone, there were good memories being stored away. There was learning wnat you could and couldn’t do if you tried. There was seeing, doing, and being what you could before tomorrow. 12 Bulldogs Break Homecoming Jink Homecoming 1980 was one of the best, highlighted by the Bulldogs win over the Highland Cougars 10-8, breaking an eight-year jinx. Bulldog fans could say the nightmare was finally over! Float making was taken more seriously than ever before. The freshmen won the float competition, beating out the seniors. The theme was commercials. In the skit competition, the seniors pulled out an incredible upset over the juniors. The juniors fought back by winning the hall decorations and spirit flag. At the game the FFA took over working the parking lot, while at half-time the band played and the homecoming queen was chosen. Senior Queen candidates were Sabrina Ehinger, Robyne Spencer and Carla White. Their escorts were Troy Wallace, Fred Naxera and Bill Keith. Sabrina Ehinger won the honor of being 1980 Homecoming Queen. Freshman attendant, Kelly Wilhoit, was escorted by Randy Tredway. Sophomore attendant, Angela Crowder, was escorted by Steve Campbell. The junior attendant, Julie Stuerman, was escorted by Porter Elliott. The dance ended the long festivities on a winning note. 3. Carla White, senior. 2. Robyne Spencer, senior. 3.

The boys finished the year 15th in the state in offense and averaged 67 points a game. Steve Cunningham was named 2nd team all-conference, while Bill Turner and Rusty Tredway received honorable mentions. Cunningham also was named to the first team alldistrict; Tredway was named to the second team all-district. Both were named all-area. The girls’ season was the best ever.

Coach Tony Gschwender Muscle Mania What is weight lifting to the athlete? It gives you strength and endurance to help you play the game to the end. Record Breakers The lift-a-thon held May 19, 1981, not only benefited the athletic program financially ($1419.94 profit), but also allowed six records to be broken. The following people were record breakers in the bench press: Kelly Henderson — 310-242 lb. class Dexter Barbano — 290-220 lb. class Steve Burbridge — 300-198 lb. class Randy Love — 310-165 lb. class Chris Pratt — 280-155 lb. class Anthony Slpain — 250-132 lb. class Earl Salmans — 200-123 lb. class After many hours of planning and hard work, weightlifters finally have a place to do their thing. Before, weightlifters had their equipment on the stage. This conflicted with the cnoir and band's use of the area. Now, thanks to many individual and business donors, the weights have their own room. The Bulldog Boosters supported the weight room project with time and money. One of their projects was the 1980 lift-a-thon. More students got in the act when Art Hemphill’s shop classes built the room. Weightlifters are now challenged by a strenuous weightlifting program supervised by Tony Gschwender. 36 1.

Once when he couldn’t get a candle lit, in character, he told Jan Greer to pretend it was lit, saying, “If I didn’t know better, I’d think Mrs. Pierce had washed the matches.” There were embarrassing moments when words to songs were just hummed, kisses were exchanged between non-intimate couples, entrances were forgotten. Steve Duckworth had problems with a falling beard, and Jan Greer was threatened with a falling skirt when Steve waltzed on it, causing several snaps to undo. After having been told how poor the play was going to be, it was satisfying for the cast to have such superb performances and good audience responses. Wasn't It Loverly? Full of laughter and suspense, “My Fair Lady” captured the audience with energetic, bright dialogue in cockney and proper English. Sets designed by Albert Conrad and Darren Goodhart were built under the direction of Darin Hart. Major members of the cast were: Eliza Doolittle, ]an Greer; Henry Higgins, John Eipper; Col. Pickering, Pat Major; Alfred P. Doolittle, Dale Weese; Freddy Eynsford Hill, Brad Gillis; Mrs. Pierce, Tonya Brossia; Mrs. Higgins, Pam Gillis. Completing the cast were: Anne Stuhlman, Darin Hart, Steve Duckworth, Bill Roan, Chuck Graham, Sandra Reid, Jim Wheeler, Phil Renner, Debra Branstetter, Brent Hayden, Danita DeWeese, Angela Henry, Willetta Salmons, Sandy Robbins, Kelly Wilhoit, Michelle Sheumaker, Elise Ludwig, Brian Hewitt, Dale Lenz, Pam Horton, Keith Mabon, Tanya McAffee, Martin Ohrenberg, Mike Ellis, Richard Waite, Bob Strode, Todd Kuntzi, Ella Martin and lohn Meier. 1.

After reading and reporting on a Shakespearian play they tackled two school plays. The first, “It’s Cold in Them Thar Hills,” was about a hillbilly family trying to get their oldest daughter married. The second, “A Quiet Home Wedding,” was about a family who decided to hold their oldest daughter’s wedding at home. Both plays were comedies about the fun and mishaps of “marrying-off” a daughter.

The cast consisted of Bilbo Bag-gins, Tom Turley; Gandalf, Terry Cook; Thorin, Bill Roan; and the dragon, Dale Weese. Also included in the cast were an assortment of trolls, goblins, dwarfs. Playing these parts were: Elise Lud- wig, Michelle Smith, Todd Kuntzi, Miko Ellis, Sabrina Ehringer, Deanna Ellis, Nicole Kuntzi, Sally Behringer, Kirsten Christensen, Susan Patrick, Randy Steers, Tanya McAfee, Mandy McCarty, Christy Hart, Bob Waggoner.

The Clarence Cannon Conference Choir performed in the LHS gvm on November 24, before the largest audience to turn out in recent history. The long tradition of carrying a lighted candle in the Christmas concert was always very effective. This year, the candles were battery-operated. Despite numerous jokes about Star Wars light sabers, the candles looked almost real. The music ranged from Latin Motets to modern Christmas tunes. The bright red and white music jackets were a new item at LHS this year, giving a little distinction to choir and band students. That’s Entertainment! The band makes music of every kind all over the school. They suffered through two months of cold, first hour practices on the dew-covered football field, to put on a show at halftime of each home game. When football season was over, the band turned toward the more serious side of music, but it was not all classical. On February 19, the LHS Concert Band played an entire concert of Jazz and Pop music. They performed at the Fine Arts Evening on May 14. Pep Band entertained the basketball crowd at halftime, and led the student body through the hall to the gym for each pep assembly. Whether it was for themselves or for the audience, entertainment is what band is all about. The more accomplished musicians in LHS’s Concert Band won the honor of performing with the Clarence Cannon Conference Band. They were: Below Front: John Meier. Julie Stuer-man.

Each solo, ensemble, band, and choir faces a judge or panel of judges and performs for a rating. LHS performed as a 3A school for the second year in a row, which put us in stiffer competition with schools up to twice our size. The judges awarded Honor Rating I” to 20 percent of the performers who faced them. LHS’s 23 entries came back with 35 percent I's. Although this was somewhat an accomplishment, some students were disappointed, as this was LHS’s worst year at Contest in recent history. However, they were cheered up a little by the assurance that next year LHS will be 2A. Those solos and ensembles that received I’s at District represented LHS at the State Music Festival in Columbia.

I went back to the home room and played through the chaminade, trying to guess where I would blank out this time. Soon my friends came to drag me away to room 106 where I was to play. As the stuffy little room became crowded with people, I felt my knees begin to shake and mv heart begin to pound. The time had come. As I took my place at the front of the room, I saw the smiles and looks of confidence which came from my friends and parents. Then I let mv fingers play the passage I had worked on for seven long months, praying I would remember it all. When the ending notes sounded and warm applause filled the air, a rush of relief washed over me. I felt as though a 1,000 pound weight had been lifted from my shoulders. It was done. We headed for the cafeteria where results were to be posted. We waited for what seemed like an eternity until finally my score was there. As I approached the bulletin board, full of doubt yet hopeful, I found my name and beside it a triumphant I! I awake with a start to the sound of my alarm blaring into the silence. Early morning darkness was all around me as I rolled over to see the time: 5 a.m. Dragging myself out of bed and into the shower, I began one of the biggest days of the year: District Contest day. Stumbling downstairs, I forced down some breakfast and then dashed off to school where others were already waiting. We all chose our seats on the bus, curling up with pillows and radios. As we bounced along to Mexico, some slept while others, like myself, felt the butterflies beginning to flutter in our stomachs. Within two hours we reached our destination, climbing off the bus with clothes, instruments and high expectations. Ahead of us stood the ominous building in which we would spend the coming day of terror, and as we approached it, fear began to engulf us all. We climbed the stairs to our home room on the third floor (as usual) and filled it with all our junk. The next few hours we spent listening to friends playing in solos and ensembles. Yet I knew as time quickly slipped away that FHA brings in the dough FHA; Front to Back: Connie Woods. Carla White. Mandy McCorty, Vicki Waltmon. Sherri Myers, Robyne Spencer, Willetta Salmons.

FHA made around $1000 doing many activities such as a Pot Luck Picnic, a Scope Banquet, a French dinner theatre before “My Fair Lady,” and a movie night featuring “Fun With Dick and Jane.” Field trips to an adoption agency, a halfway house, a children’s home, a fashion show, and various businesses were activities of the year. They sold Current stationery, posters, t-shirts, bumper stickers and candy. To top it off, they had a Mother-Daughter Banquet, and a weekend campout at Silver Dollar City paid fully by all the “dough” they made through the year. Right: Future homemakers learn skills in working with children. COMPUTER looks to the future Beginning and advanced computer classes were offered at night, taught by Bob Castiglia, science teacher. The main reason students and adults took the course is that it looks to the future. In 1981-82 the class will be offered during the school day. 55 They Called Themselves Flix Kathy Carlton; Reporter They call themselves The Foto Flix. Their mission is to capture every moment, every second on film. The new club was organized to help students learn more about photography. The club motto, “Learn by Doing,” is exactly what the members did. They took trips to the Ted Shanks Wildlife Area, the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the St. Louis Zoo and other places.

Students, at least want lots of activities to show that their school has spirit. They would like to believe their school is the best. LHS has a busv calendar. Float building, skits, clubs, sports, the musical, dances, etc., are all a part of the traditions of high school. While some of these activities are well supported, some fall behind. Which ones succeed the best? Sports have the greatest appeal. Maybe it's interschool om petition, wearing a uniform or just that sports are IM. Energetic, able coaches have a lot to do with the appeal of sports. Activities which elect or select their members do fair-l well. Student Council and National Honor Society member: ship prestige, and tions meet in the morni Future Farmers quiremeng for everyone in vo-ag. This gives it a bit! membership but does not guarantee a good or active group. Tliefall musical is usually a well supported informal vet ‘organized extra-curricular activity. Its attractions arc getting together to put on a good show fc r the community. Although it takes hanging in there even though problems, the 1 reward is applause for a job well done (and a great cast party). Some gr ups succeed through the energies of a creative sponsor. Future Homemakers was one ol these. They v. ere alv.a'.s doing somethi lg and made enough mon ;y to take fun trips. Camera Club was another. Wi h a volunteer sponsor from outside school, this group vers always on the go- H One activity that does not have popular appeal is Alamo staff. This organization exists to so a big job with little recognition or reward. Its work i often seen as an extension of the school day. without an audience, applause or any other visible incentive e. Language Club appeals to that small number who take a language and want to socialize together. They often have ■ m Some clubs, for some reason, fail to have an' attraction some years. This | year, for instance. Pep Club, which last year was extreme- m ly active with many rules, regulations and requirements | had almostflno?1 active members andlno carry-over j from last year Science' Club never got off the ground and Future Teachers did not meet I at all, for the sef:ondyear. What does it take to make « the activities work?. First, it takes enough interested peof pie to make it worth the sponsor's time. Nefct, it helps t|T ! have enthusiastic ] student leadership, just one person who really cards [and can get others excited is. all it takes. Finally, any activitv needs an interested adult who has the time to give. Activities that succeed have all of the above. They arp fun or valuable, in some way to students and help to give school spirit. Second Annual Winter Carnival a Hit 4 The Student Council put on the annual Winter Carnival March 13, giving classes and organizations a chance to make money. There were activities such as throwing your worst enemy in jail, Bingo, pie toss, basket shoot, ham and bean supper, computer games, bake sale, dart throwing, nail driving, fortune telling, and pompon count. 1.

Fine Arts Many talented students from the Vocal Music, Band, and Art Departments participated in the second annual Fine Arts Night on May 14. The art students’ display of their year’s work was unique and refreshing. The choir treated their listeners to several light selections and three soloists.

Putting Theory Into Practice The 80-81 Area Vocational school had an atmosphere of peace and tranquility most of the time. The Vocational school is to give an ideal working environment while learning theory and putting it to practical use. The wide variety of courses includes child care. LPN, office practice, heating, refrigeration and air conditioning, auto body, auto mechanics, and auto services. Surroundings are comfortable with modern well-kept facilities, music, air conditioning and top- notch instructors who on occasion get down to business. An average day consists of the 30-minute bus rides to and from Eolia, two one hour sessions, one in theory and the other in practical use and shop work, and two 15-minute breaks. 1. Ken Sencenbaugh.

At the first big event of the year, Homecoming, the Council got the ceremony together, the parade, and the big dance. We won the game, but the attendance at the dance was poor. At Christmas, messages were given to friends and lovers in stockings made by Mrs. Strode. The Council decided against a Christmas Dance due to past poor attendance. A Drug Assembly was to inform students of the issues of drug abuse. Most successful was the Winter Carnival, see page 60. Valentine carnations were sold. The council sponsored a Talent Show, (page 43) A new idea was for members to be secret pals to teachers, sending them messages and gifts, (page 74) 65 Bj Dissr, 0 0 0 Cnszivtctup i t ayniccctUvie cuuC U- cc6l te44- 1.

But Student Council did something to make the year more pleasant. Every now and then members brightened teachers’ days with a card, some sweets, a flower or other small gifts. Days like Christmas or St. Pat’s were occasions for a surprise. Ordinary days became special too, for teachers who found an unexpected thank-you in their office box. Secret pals let teachers know that they were appreciated. 74 Vicki Love vocational adjustment Familiar Faces Familiar Places Whether a hot lunch or brown bagging it, lunch time never failed to produce a mad dash for the cafeteria. It meant food, a break in the day or getting together with friends. Sometimes there was a cake and private party. Occasionally someone smuggled in KFC. But every day a hungry mob invaded this space. 75 Being a Means Starting Over Kristy Adkison Jim Ahart lason Akers Rennie Anderson Angela Ayers Becky Bat tern Lisa Baumann Cheri Boots Mecia Branham Debbie Branstetter Mariann Buchanan Missy Christy Lynn Colonna Shelly Corbin Brock Cropp Roger DeCamp Glenn Dempsey Donita DeWeese Tim Early John Elliott Joe Elliott Rhonda Elliott Rodney Elliott Susan Elliott Deanna Ellis Bobby Garner Mike Geery Bill Goodin Bobby Grover Jeff Hagemann Melody Hampton Kim McKinnin Angela Henry Debbie Hewitt Pam Horton Steve House Brent Hughart Tascha Jeffries Richy Keith Carol King 76 Being a freshman meant initiation into football, a long basketball season spent mostly on the bench, running varsity track and getting blown away at the Mark Twain relays. It meant tiying to keep your mina on your studies while you’re thinking about ... other things. It has meant striving to get your homework done and then having teachers give you more to sulk about. It meant constant cruelty and pain inflicted on us by the upperclassmen. But we had fun anyway.

Upperclassmen have their priorities straight. Freshmen are just trying to get through the year, adjusting to being the youngest again. Sophomores just stand by and watch. But this year the sophomores did get a piece of the action. All sophomore football players, Ovalta Bell, Todd Ehinger, Churck Graham, Randy Love, Chris Pratt, and Stan Silvey lettered on varsity. Six sophomore boys, Ovalta Bell, Brad Clark, Todd Ehinger, Randy Love, and Augie Myers were on varsity basketball squad, and one sophomore, George Travis, lettered. Susan Anderson, Cindy Gower (outstanding sophomore), and Becky Marsh started on girls varsity basketball. Susan Anderson started on varsity volleyball, and in track, Tammy Maxwell returned as conference champ in 100 and a state qualifier in the 400 m relay. As a class, the sophomores had a lot of talent and not just in sports. Class Officers Angela Crowder — President Jill Murry — Secretary ' .

It spreads until the whole class is contaminated. Anyone who gets measured for caps and gowns is susceptible to the disease. Once a victim catches the disease he qualifies for nicknames such as “Rock-n-Roll” and “Duck.” Two symptoms the victim experiences are times of deep depression and mass hysteria. Sometimes rowdiness gets out of hand and an ulcerated stomach or mononucleosis results. The face muscles expand to allow for constant yawning which is caused by complete boredom with trivial high school matters. When seniors decide not to cut classes, they turn the classroom into a romper room, some taking naps, others play with airplanes or have fun giving teachers trouble. To keep from being bored, some seniors see who can put the most embarrassing sign on someone’s back without their realizing it. A side effect of senioritis is that anticipation of graduation produces a state of affairs known as chaos. Severe headaches are caused by trying to find THE perfect senior prank. One familiar prank is putting For Sale signs on the school grounds and in front of the principal’s house. The last sign of senioritis is blisters worn on the fingers and toes by habitually counting the days until graduation. The cure? Hearing your name read at commencement and walking across the stage to receive your diploma. I.

After reading all eleven assignments for English, I experienced my own personal metamorphosis. I went from a sane human being to a completely exasperated bundle of nerves lost in a stack of books: Ancient Greek Mythology, Modern Man Behind the Camera and Webster’s Dictionary. I felt as if I were suddenly plunged into a world of unreality as I tried to picture and create a myth of my own. The only thing my wit could conceive was a goddess of great beauty turning an F into an E. Lights, one by one, turned on around my bed where I lay sprawled trying to write when someone yelled out, “Camera, action,” and that was my cue to perform. I stopped digging my ear with the eraser on the end of my pencil and began searching my mind for the words of a script I should know but never had seen. All the questions on the English assignment flashed through my mind until I could not tell where one question began and the other ended. They became one question and I was lost back in time when the earth was young and man’s creative mind went unchecked and stories became realities and myths were born. Some were human-like with faces of some hideous prehistoric animal that could burst into flame and rise to fly through the air causing great winds that frightened man. Some were floating like goddesses more beautiful than words could describe, or a man so big and strong that giant boulders were mere pebbles in his hands. Names like Pluto, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite ran from the ashes of my mind, creating a mental metamorphosis. I was reborn from these ashes in the form of a giant bird, a phoenix. I flew away from the area of myths into the darkness of Medieval times, and as my wings brought me to earth and my claws became feet, I became me again. I found myself in the darkest cellars of time, living in a freakish hell. Should my imagination be put on trial and I be convicted as a Warlock, with curses, hexes, and spells, I would burn like the Phoenix in fire. I knew I could not be caught as myself in human form. The streets were dark and the smell all around me was the smell of bad sewage. People hid themselves under large dark cloaks. They spoke in whispers and hid in dark doorways. There 136 was no light anywhere. The world was closing in on me, and I can’t remember being so frightened. I began to run, and great crowds ol people came running after me, their dark cloaks flapping in the wind of their own making. They were vultures swooping down on me. I had to get away. I raised my arms and they became white feathers, the wings of a Dove. I flew away, before the evil of darkness consumed me, into a Perfect World. Everything was bright with sunlight. Valleys swayed in a sea of grass rocked by gentle winds. Little girls in white dresses and ribbons in their hair danced around a tall pole with bright colored streamers held in their hands, making a kaleidoscope of color. Boys with carefree faces ran after tree frogs and dove into the clear creeks to swim. I was taken into their games like another child, and for a while I became a child. For a while it was fun, but after so long in this Perfect World I was ready for the not-so-perfect. Here there was no challenge; every day was the same. Boring. The world where man was greedy for wealth and power was better than no wish for anything other than another perfect day of nothing. Saying good-bye meant nothing to anyone, so I just walked away through the valley and over the hill. As I walked I wondered about the dividing line between childhood to adulthood. Some children become adults long before their time because of some need, tragedy, or environment. Some “grownups” never grow up. Should there be some special ceremony performed, other than a graduation, a wedding, turning twenty-one or becoming a parent for the first time? Sometimes one of these is enough. The valley of the Perfect World was left behind. I was being jossled about by hundreds of people hurrying off to their jobs. I walked into a building and took the elevator to the thirteenth floor where I was greeted like a boss should be greeted and entered the door marked “this is David’s room.” I took a seat behind a large desk cluttered with very important papers. All day the phones rang and big decisions were made, like the one that needed my signature now titled “Bubble Gum Twenty-Five Cents.” There can’t be one special ceremony turning a child into an adult, there are too many in-between stages, and each person must follow his or her own goals. I knew I could not pick this topic as my assignment, for my imagination was not great enough to make up a whole ceremony. I had just about exhausted every one of the eleven assignments, and still I couldn’t make up my mind which one to write about. Maybe number seven. I could tell about the little blind girl whose grandfather’s love turned her world of darkness into a world of bright sunlight, until his death suddenly took him from her and she was left in deep despair. Many times the old man had been heard saying that when he died he would stand between heaven and hell. There he would bargain his soul away for a pair of eyes for his granddaughter, and whoever granted his wish, be it God or tne Devil, he would follow them with no questions asked. The blind girl in her grief denounced God. She, in her childish way, threw God out of her grandfather’s house and slammed the door. Four years later and twelve years old, this girl awoke from a dreamless sleep to a day of horror and ain. All around her a rightness caused her head to throb with pain, and she cried out, “I’m dying.” For six months she was kept in a room where no light was allowed to enter. Then one day shadows formed and each day thereafter these shadows became clearer, and she was no longer in darkness. Not until she met and married the man she loved and their first child was born, did she know for sure who could have granted such a miracle. The Ark” of her life was her family. I call this girl Mother. In front 01 me was a large billboard. Printed in big letters it read, “Who am I?” “Do you know me?” “How can I find out if I am me or not?” I hate vegetables, I know little about minerals, so if I must identify myself with anything it will be animal. But this question was too hard for me. Someone kept pounding me on the back, and a voice Filled with excitement said, “That’s a take, print it. This is the best documentary on ‘How Not to Study’ ever made. We are bound to win the Emmy.” Drugged with sleep I could not make out too much of what was going on but I guess I had just made a half-hour T.V. show. One by one the lights around the bed where I lay among a bunch of books went out, but before the last light dimmed away, a Goddess appeared before me. But why was she erasing the last line of the letter E? a a Za6e, tn et 'r uv TZatfo Sfrafy eve Feature by David Campbell Art by Porter Elliott Front to back: |an Greer, editor: Robin Windmiller.

Kathy Carlton's shirt tells it all. LHS publications staffs searched all year for the 5 W’s and H. Their work began in fall before school started. They finished a week or so after school was out. Ask any publications staffer what the toughest iob was. They will say it was tne burden of writing the school newspaper and producing the yearbook at the same time. Who, What, When, Where, Why, How? They took pride in seeing what they did in print. They attended a seminar and a workshop during the year. They earned a II rating from NMSU and a IV honors at UMC for Highlights. One journalism student summed it all up as “great, fantastic, a pain, but most of all, memorable!” 139 9 70ee e uUf 'ZOene ‘TZCacte fa ‘ ,07 e C ctUhut c Uut ecC; tAe-yood timed- neve diet. changed, the good times never did. Between the cans of Busch, bottles of Jack, friends and more friends, the feeling was 190% “Everclear.” SecAef TttevuiA WEEKEND! is one word that everyone at LHS could identify with. From the quietest freshman (was there such a thing?) to the wildest junior or senior, every weekender developed their own style of bumming away the time out of school. But in as many directions as we all went come Friday night, one thing was the same for all: GEORGIA STREET! The basic birthplace of a successful weekend was the stretch from the 4-way to Joe's Jug. Either you cruised for 5 minutes and found your friends and connections or you rode around for 60 minutes, found no one and went home to sit. As the price of gas went up, the miles traveled in a weekend went down. Sitting at Suzuki or Hays, or jamming and drinking some Busch with everybody was the thing to do, that is until the “locals” broke it up. Where did we go from there? We always found a place. The locations ... 04 te prieteuf vtlyAt, x«ie rfUtty come tHe aeutte t i aii: tfe upia Stneeti 140 d.t£eCct t e Whether it be balancing equations or finding the unknown, when you are taking chemistry, it’s always something. To many, chemistry was considered the most challenging yet frustrating course offered at Louisiana. But on one thing everyone will agree: In this class there was never a dull moment. Mr. Hunter always seemed to add his witty stories and examples whenever the time seemed appropriate, and somehow the time always seemed appropriate! Many times in lab interesting things happened. The one that sticks in everyone’s mind is the time we were supposed to be quietly working, and someone looked up to see an entire lab table on fire. Of course, Mr. Hunter, being the expert firefighter that he was, quickly and calmly put it out with a fire extinguisher.

Then there were always the many instances of broken test tubes, shattered beakers, and the crushed graduates (graduated cylinders). But nothing was more rewarding than receiving a lab book with a big 10 written inside. No matter how rewarding a 10 on a lab was, there were the frustrating moments of flunking that ever-fatal test. And to many the feeling nit more than once. There is no way of describing the feeling that hit when having wasted an entire night studying you found that your effort should have been placed on something else. Whatever you experience in high school, no one should graduate and walk across that stage without first experiencing that ever-wonderful class of Chemistry. 141 Someone was always saying the usual “Louisiana is dead! There’s nothing happening around here!” The community heard this complaint once too often last year. Chamber of Commerce offered high school students a recreation center. They would provide a place if students would help get it ready and run it. But after some discussion, high school students rejected the idea. They said they didn’t like the location (Main Street above Modern Machine Shop). But the real reason may have been the sudden opening of a new electronic games arcade, Time Warp. Instead of asking for student cooperation first, Paul Etavard handed the community a finished product. Students flocKed there to play the games. Time Warp offered a clean place to go with no food or smoking allowed. I go to Time Warp to have fun in a place where I don’t have to fight the smoke,” reflected Becky Marsh, sophomore. Darren Goodhart summed it up when he said he goes Paul Etevard handed the community a finished product. there “for the thrill of vic- Sand the agony of ;at.” Earl Dixon, owner of The Olde Hotel and Angelo’s, was the first to offer a place for teens to go: a banquet room at the Olde Hotel, for getting together and dancing. He gave up the idea when the Chamber began talking about a teen center. So, for now, it looks like Time Warp is THE PLACE TO GO. Even though a quarter a game seems inexpensive, it gets to be an obsession. The habitual player always knows what to do with a stray quarter: take another chance at Pac-Man. by Kathy Carlton Time Warp: The Place to Go fill m mmm mm mm ma® mr msmwa m mm mm n m ■ ! ■aw— w—i m 142 Approximate area which new Vo-Ag building will occupy Vo-Ag to Get Needed New Facilities Steve The LHS school board finally realized what the Vo-Ag teachers had been suffering through. It seems that they have been running through teachers like used cars. The number one problem was that the teachers were upset about their department. But Mitch Mahabir, who came to LHS in 1979, broke through by working to get the type of program that this area needs. The program was like a comedy show with students running around doing nothing in class until finally someone said they had better get to work and shape up. When Mr. Mahabir came it seems that he had the right ideas for this area’s type of vo-ag program. He offered classes which students hadn’t even thought of before and showed interest in what the students liked to do. It appears that now there is hope in the future for new facilities. The building used at the middle school has for a long time been a poor place to hold a decent class. It also could only be reached by bussing, which wasted too much class time and led to behavior problems. Voters approved plans to build a new facility in April of 1981. Originally the building was to have been ready for the 1981-82 school year. Difficulty with bond sales caused a delay in the building plans. 143 144 To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose.
