Putting final touches on Christmas decorations, senior Jerry Witt applies a man's touch to a mobile suspended from hall lights. Homeroom 306 visualized another side of Christmas as they won first place in the humorous division of the annual door decoration contest. Yule Spirit Lends Festive Atmosphere To Winter Panorama 'Tm dreaming of a white Christmas became the thought paramount in the minds of Western- ers as an early snow transformed LHS into a winter Wonderland. The snow melted, but spirits remained charged with enthusiasm as Santa gained 2,000 little helpers. Westerner groups provided clothing and food for needy families while homerooms brought toys and goodies for parties at Sanders and Gua- dalupe elementary schools. Halls began to show signs of the Yuletide atmosphere as they under- went a facelifting of Wall-to-wall decorating and catered to the sound of music sung by LHS choral groups carolling in the halls. Completing the panorama of events, a Christ- mas assembly climaxed the week as classes drew to a close and students happily vacated the build- ing-happy because there were sixteen school- free holidays ahead, but mostly because it was Christmas. Unopened packages beneath a Christmas tree decorated by Distributive Education members, and symbolizes the spirit of giv- ing as emphasized by Westerners.

Assassination Shatters Student Spirit Nov. 22 . . . the spirit was high in anticipation of the traditional LHS-MHS football bout . . . students flooded the halls with posters and pene- trated tlie tense air with victory chants. No one could say that this was like any other day be- cause it Wasn't-it was never expected to be. Yet, no one expected it to be so completely dif- ferent. Then, almost like a cruel joke, reports began to pour in saying that our President and Gov- ernor had been shot. At first we were gripped by disbelief and then deep regret. Heads dropped in prayer and raised with hope that both would live. But no deeper regret was experienced than when hopes were shattered with the announce- ment- Our President is dead!

Melissa McElroy portrays a very active yet inactive scarecrow in the annual Junior Assembly. Near the end of the opening semes- ter, notebooks began to show signs of handling and constant use. Caught in a web of traditional activities, middle and upperclassmen played the leading rolls in LHS's semester stage of panoramic pro- ductions. Scene one found seniors battling their first major encounter, Lavinrac Renretsew. The senior carnival soon outgrew the planning board, however, as frantic seniors devoted lengthy Sat- urdays to preparing for the one night opening. Visitors to the gala affair took an imaginary trip to the World's Fair while seniors pocketed the proceeds until a class gift could be purchased. Scene two featured the annual rendition of class talent, as juniors and seniors were both kept busy answering curtain calls. Middleclass- men literally stood In the Spotlight before be- ing replaced at the scene by Something Else, the senior class assembly. Overloaded notebooks assumed a different ap- pearance as eighteen weeks' worth of notes and homework contributed to a new look for a now old Book. One, two, three, kick! exclaim French can-can girls Monika Beuscher, Cheri Majors, and Twila Hill as they make their debut on the stage of Lavinrac Renretsew.
