Chorus, band, and four levels of art are the classes offered by LHS in the fine arts. Both the chorus and the band keep quite busy with concerts, shows during sports events, and contests. The chorus is divided into several groups: mixed chorus, girls chorus, three mixed ensembles, freshman girls sextet, and a girls trio. The chorus members participate in a solo and ensemble contest and chorus contest. The art classes are well known for their individual placings at the Scholastic Art Awards Show held at Robeson's in Champaign. The 1978 art show was the best ever for LHS. Our students compete in a region of 114 schools with over 1200 entries. Only five pictures are given the Hallmark Award; which sends the art to New York for a national judging. Dave Edrington received a Hallmark. Blue ribbons were awarded to Cindy Creek and Glenda Long. Holly Newberry, Steve Miller, and Jim Miller received gold keys. Pat Hendrix, Pete Frost, and Jim Miller received certificates of participation for their work. Mrs. Dannewitz and Mr. Hutton find that practice, practice, practice brings in the awards.

ENGLISH The three English teachers introduced a new curriculum this year. In addition to the regular tracks of English I, II, III, and IV, a Vocational English class was added. Students enrolled in Vocational English spend the year rotating between Mrs. Uphoff, Mrs. Clement, and Mrs. Thomas. Intensive writing and grammar work, newspaper study, and reading were the areas of study for the new program. Doug Smith found articles on the farmer's strike for his collection of national news. Mrs. Uphoff “Of course you know your ABC?” said the Red Queen. “To be sure I do,” said Alice. “So do l,“ the White Queen whispered: “we’ll often say it over together, dear. And I’ll tell you a secret I can read words of one letter! Isn’t that grand? However, don’t be discouraged. You’ll come to it in time.” Keith Frantz checks his stock's closing price. 18
