According to Webster's New World Dictionary, the term People is defined as ” 1. the persons belonging to a certain place, community, or class; 2. the members of a group under the leader- ship. influence, or control of a particular person or body. Our PEOPLE section fits each of those definitions. First, because all of the persons who are covered in this section belonged to the Luck Public Schools. It made little difference whether they were students, teachers, bus drivers, cooks, custodians, secretaries, or administration. In each case they made a significant contribution to L.H.S. and the community. The second definition also applies to our PEOPLE section because the teachers and principals were the influential people within the school building and they in turn were controlled by the Superintendent and the Schoool Board which acted as the educational leaders of the school. The students were ultimately under the control of the teacher, the principals, the Superintendent, and the School Board. PEOPLE Physical Education was selected as the most popular class among the students this year Per- haps it was because this was the class where the students have to lug books around with them and in most cases they could talk as much as they wanted. The general category of Science, which included Biology I and U. Chemistry, and Ecology, was chosen as the next best thing to being in Phy. Ed Algebra I and II combined to make up the third favorite class Sewing and cooking were just some of the Home Economics classes which brought in the fourth place vote Mr Don Lake's Business classes, including Typing I and II. Accounting, and General Business, were so popular that they took fifth place in the survey. English proved to be a difficult class for many students, but this didn't seem to diminish it's pop- ularity as it tied for the fifth place rating Also tying for fifth place was the class that didn't result in grades and didn't require homework just had to be popular which may explain the sev- enth place finish of Studyhall The learning exper- iences which composed the Economics. Govern- ment. Contemporary Problems and History por- tions of the Social Studies curriculum earned it an eighth place finish. Although two of these classes will be described in the People section of our book, additional de- scriptions of classes may be found in other sec- tions. A quite large margin separated the number one song I Think We're Alone Now from the second place selection Girls, Girls, Girls . This was fol- lowed in the voting by the hit singles “Crazy, Crazy Nights , Here I Go Again , Who Made Who? , and Dude Looks Like A Lady . By coinci- dence. three of the songs which earned the most votes were remakes of songs which were popu- lar many years earlier. These songs were originally released as hits for other artists. The three songs were “I Think We're Alone Now , “Girls. Girls, Girls , and Here I Go Again .

These signs may also point the opportunities and adventures they may encounter on their journey, but the decisions are selected by the person in the Horseshoe staff determined the student body's favorites by preparing and conducting an “Of The Year Survey during the October activity period. 133 people responded to the ques- tionnaire, in Juding: 42 freshemn, 34 sophomorfes. 35 juniors. 25 sen- iors. and 2 fapulty members. In some categories of the survey, we discovered that the majority of the students had the same or very similar preferences. In other instances, weJound that the re- sponses variea widely. Some of the results of the survey are print- ed here, while others appear in various areas throughout the book. According to the results ofbur questionnaire, the new Papa J's was selecteikas the favorite hang-out of the majority of theStudents. This pizza parlor, which also has ten arcaa games. a pool table, and a juke box , providedSjudents with a place to stock up on nachos, spaghetti, burgers, and pop as well as pizza. Several seniors earned money delivering Papa's products when “to go orders were called in. Even though many of the students enjoyed hanging out and spending time with others at the pizza place , they also enjoyed spending time alone, The sec- ond most popular place for students to hang-out was their houses or their own rooms.

flFNIORS We. as Seniors, have gone through thirteen long years together. Now. at graduation, we will go our separate ways. Yet it seems like only yesterday when we first met in kindergarten Following the school fire and the building of the addition, the students from the Luck, Oak Hill, and East Luck elementary schools were reunited in the third grade classrooms at Luck. In sixth grade, we worked together to make a planetarium under the direction of Mr. Gehrman. In eighth grade, we sold candles and went on a class trip to the roller rink in Rice Lake. Our initiation as Freshmen into the Pep Club by the senior members will always be etched in our memories. We learned that building a float and writing our own skit was time consuming and hard work, but also a lot of fun. We also spent time organizing and hosting a spaghetti supper during our ninth grade year The proceeds were given to Jay Thompson and his family who had lost their home in a fire. As Sophomores most students ordered class rings and or school jackets. Time was spent driving the school's Tempo in Driver's Ed. and learning to type the school's iBMs In 1985, our football team placed second in the conference, however, in 1986 we didn't win a game. We proved during our Junior year that we had special talents as fund- raisers. In fact, we sold more magazines than any class in the history of the program here at Luck. The money we raised was put to use in organizing the two largest events of our school years - Prom and Graduation Like No Other Night set the theme for the silver and metallic blue magic of Prom '86. The majority of the girls in the class spent weeks practicing for their Winter Carnival Queen Pageant appearance during the Junior year, The '86 baseball team finished second in the conference and barely missed a trip to State. A twelve game losing streak was snapped by the football team when it defeated Grantsburg, The cheerleaders competed for the right to cheer at a Milwaukee Bucks game in the Milwaukee arena. Our graduation memories and the memories of our years here at L.H.S. were captured in the motto selected by the class - You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true.
