Student Visits Lounge Have you ever heard of the Vern La- May Memorial Lounge? Possibly you don't know where that room is. Would you believe — yes, ladies and gentle- men, it’s true — the LaMay Lounge and the faculty lounge are one in the same. Let’s take a peek inside and see what's going on. The door must be opened very carefully so as not to dis- turb anyone, since we're only students and we're not supposed to be here. But since we're here anyway, let’s take a look around. In one corner we see Mrs. Kaulfuss and Mr. LaPoint, who trade off each week buying the Milwaukee Sentinal, doing the crossword located in that peri- odical. On one side of the room, near the pop machine, we see a lone cribbage board. There is no one around it now, and it looks quite desolate. However, as we look overhead we see a plaque naming winners of old (Bill McCarthy 4980, Judy Kaulfuss 1981, Cecil Streeter 1982), and we realize that during noon hours when the teachers are off duty, it’s the center of activities for those who like to indulge in the old English game of skill. As we continue looking around, we see teachers with their papers spread out all over several of the tables. Since there is plenty of room to do this sort of stuff, many teachers prefer the lounge to work on new assignments or to cor- rect old ones. As we tour nonchalantly about, we have a feeling of serenity, and we might suppose that nothing unusual ever happens. We would be right. If we were to come in here at 7:30, we would see that every teacher was sit- ting in the same spot day after day. It’s as if an unwritten law compels them to sit in an assigned spot all the time. If we were to go in during noon hour, we would see a normal setting of adults eating there. Only one thing would stick out. All the male teachers are sit- ting on one side of the room, and all the female teachers on the other. What would we hear? If we got there at the right time, we might hear Mr. Schlind- wien and Mr. LaPoint taking opposing sides on anything that might come up. | hope this has familiarized you with the Vern LaMay Memorial Lounge.

wi Mr. Lee T. Blows The Whistle For twenty years, social studies teach- er Leon Thompson has been refereeing football, basketball, and volleyball games. For the previous two years he has been a member of the Sawdust City Officials Association, an organization which he helped to found, that helps train officials. ‘The reason we started it is that there is a shortage of officials. We try to get young people interested in officiating, usually people that were once high school athletes themselves.” Running an organization and being a referee took a lot of time. Mr. Thompson spent about four nights a week keeping peace and order at high school athletic events, and countless hours in related activities. His wife of thirteen years, Wendy, was supportive of his officiating as were his three sons, Brent-8, Jeremy- 5, and Benjamin-3. “| don’t do this for the money,” he said; ‘it’s a nice second income, but | do this because | enjoy it.’’ And thanks to people like Leon Thompson, we too, can enjoy our favorite sporting activi- ties.
