LHS students, faced with a long Wy- oming winter season, know better. A poll concerning winter activities showed that LHS students generally prefer skiing and snowmobiling with sledding, ice skating and tubing com- ing in third, fourth and fifth. Students liked to make their own fun by having snowball fights, build- ing snowmen and angels, making snow forts, busting snow drifts, and doing spins in cars and trucks. Also listed were crosscountry skiing, hay- rides, ice fishing tournaments, hunt- ing jackrabbits, four wheeling, three wheeling, slipping and sliding, bob- sledding, motorbiking, hockey-bob- bing, hockey, snow cave over nighters, snow sculpturing and foot- ball. One amazing winter phenomena occurred when school was closed be- cause of a blizzard and the buses couldn't get through the drifts of snow. Almost every student braved the outdoors and indulged in travers- ing impassable roads with sleds, snowmobiles and skiis. Winter is not a time of safety. Freshman Mark Powers related a story about how his family became separated and lost in a blizzard while hunting. Freshman Jamie Schmidt fell into a pond while playing hockey. Senior Wesley Ricks slid down a hill on his sled, hit a sagebrush and flew ten feet, breaking his sled into pieces. Freshman Deena Moretti to- talled her brand new snow machine by running into a tree. Sophomore Christy Youngberg blistered her face while skiing at Park West, erupting in blisters the size of half walnutsf' But LHS students still en- joyed the opportunities winter of- fered.

Community became involved 1985 bursts to glory Homecoming 1985 - Blue Burst to Glory - had more community involvement in all the activities. One of the major changes in homecoming was the early coronation of the king and queen to which the community was invited on Wednesday night. This change allowed the court to reign over most of the homecoming festivities. During the Homecoming Coronation program a special recog- nition was given to the oldest Valley member, Leon Rollins. Rollins also was Grand Marshall of the Thursday parade. The royalty included Queen Misty Platts, King Andy Hewitt, First At- tendants Lori Jensen and Chad An- derson, and Second Attendants Pa- trica Atkinson and Vince Blasi. At the Homecoming Coronation program, a new group Shadows performed. The Shadows featured leader and bass guitarist Brian War- nick, electric piano player Jeff Schwab, lead singer Michele John- son, and back-up singers Geraldine Schell, Kathy Weber, and Sheri Dowdle. Brian Warnick said, 'fMy group has gone a lot farther than I expected and hopefully it will go much farther. Besides the coronation, the com- munity was invited to participate in the breakfast, dinner and parade. The parade was scheduled for later in the afternoon, so more community members and elementary children could see it. Student Body President Misty Platts said, This is one of the best, organized homecomings that there has been in a long time.
