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.

Physical Education The physical education department at LHS had an emphasis on coed activity this year. A new program was developed by Mr. Groothuis and Mrs. Thomas. The emphasis was on introducing students to activities they can use outside of school. The activities included dominos, checkers, ping-pong, various card games, chess, and backgammon. There are three teachers teaching P. E. this year, Mr. Groothuis, Mrs. Clement, and Mrs. Thomas. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Freshmen girls working on their calisthenics. Mrs. Clement Just one more lap to go . “Now! Now!” cried the Queen. “Faster! Faster!” And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardly touching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped . . . Alice looked round her in great surprise. “Why, I do believe we've been under this tree the whole time!
