Consistency—A Proven Factor In Frosh- First, I saw the police cars; like in every other parade, they al¬ ways started the parade with po¬ lice cars. The Sophomore girls were screaming to their frosh powderpuff companions, “We’re No. 1!” with two floats between them. The LHS Band could be heard above the screaming and yelling, playing the school fight song over and over again to arouse the crowd to move toward the field. The parade continued until it reached the high school, and when they all had gathered around, they lit the bonfire and threw in the Warrior. This act was the kick-off to the pow¬ derpuff games. The game was scoreless in the first half, but led to an exciting half time, during which Dave Schwimmer was crowned Pow¬ derpuff King. Another festivity was the leap frog contest between classes.

Spirit Week only means one thing, Homecoming. And that means a school full of crazy dressed spirited people. This year the students of LHS were dressed in class colors, school colors, as athletes, as teens in the 50’s, and changed the mood to the modern beat of disco. The cheerleaders in charge of spirit week sold Tootsie roll pops, links, and raffled off T-shirts. After the spirit filled week of activities, the big pep session was next, which was held Friday afternoon before the big game. In the gym the cheer¬ leaders announced the winners of the spirit stick, which were the sophomores. They also announced the commons’, links’ and win¬ dows’ leaders, which were judged by the aides and secretaries, Mrs. Kasparian, Mrs. Sampson, and Mrs. Daley. Also during the pep session, Cindy Hales showed her talent by winning the pie¬ eating contest. After the fun filled pep session, the guys were ready to battle the Warr iors in an exciting game of football. Al¬ though the team was losing, the fans had constant hope of getting a lucky break. Even though it never came, the half time festivities made up for the loss. Susan Bedoian was crowned Homecoming Queen while the band played “Nobody Does It Better.” After the game, the queen danced the first dance to the music of the band “Strider.” The theme of the homecoming dance was “Here Comes The Sun,” and those who went to the game and stayed for the dance will cherish their high school homecoming memories.
