VOL. II NO. 1 LASALLE HIGH SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 26, 1966

Reg istration is now open in the counselor's office for the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. LaSa 11 e juniors will be able to ta ke this test on Saturday, October 22, from 8:30 to 11:30 . Fo r the $1.50 fee the stu­dents will also receive a leaflet ex­plaining the test and including sev ­eral questions. The test its elf will consist of two parts, the first measuring verba l abilities, and the sec ond meas­uring mathematical skills. Any junior , especially those interested in college, is advised to take this test as a prepa r ation for the Scholas tic Aptitude Test administered in their seni or year.

The Scholastic Aptitude T est, nec ­essary for college enrollment, will be administered on November 5 to all interested seni ors . For most colleges, the S.A.T. is sufficient for enrollment, but in some cases an addi t ional achievement test will be necessary. Seniors are advised to check the cata­logues in the counselor's office to see if these additional tests are required for their college.

Mr. Nelson and Mr. Hafner both tried to impress upon the freshmen the opportunities for achievement at La ­Salle, and the place each of them was expected to fulfill to start out on the right foot. Miss Shellenberger, the nurse, and Miss Larson, the lib r a ri an, gave directions to the nur se's office and library and pe r tinent information about these two r ooms . The head custodian, Mr. Divjak, stressed the expected ca r e of the schoo l facili ti es and the rules to be obeyed .

Evaluation Made of LHS

Registration for the S.A. T. will beg in the last week of September and will conti nue until October 22. However, after th e penalty date of October 8, an additional charge of $2 . 50 will be added to the $5.00 fee for the test. Achievement Test registration is an additional $7 . 50 for one test or a series o[ three .

The freshman counse lors, Mr . Ko­sana , Miss Landry, and Mr. Barack were intr oduced. The importance of proper counse ling was stressed along with the attitude that to prospe r at LaSalle, freshmen must look for their opportunities and make the mos t of them.

var ious schools wi ll be com ing to LaSa ll e during the schoo l year . All interested jun iors and seniors should register with their counse lors for the conferences. Dates when rep r esenta ­tives will be at LaSalle are posted on the bulletin board, across from the counsel ors' offices.

INSPECTION MADE OF LASALLE HIGH

LaSalle was inspected during the week of September 20th for accredita­ti on by the Indiana Department of Edu­cation . A committee toured the school to evaluate it for a first class com­mission . This commission will enable LaSa ll e graduates to apply to the college of their choice.

LaSalle was rated according to the training of its faculty, the program of studies it offers, the capacity of the libra r y, physical facilities, and the variety of equipment supplied for the classroom.

Although LaSalle hasn't enoughpar­ticipating seniors to constitute a test center, hopes are that it will be a cente r by Novemb er of 1967. Seniors may ta ke the test at Adams, Central, Clay, Riley , St. Joseph's, or Washing­ton High Schools. However, r egistration for LaSalle will take place only at the LaSall e counse lor's office .

The Nationa l Meri t Scholars hip semi-finalis ts wil l be annou nced on Septe mber 28. The y ar e chos en on the bas is of test r esults of the Natio nal Merit Schola r ship Qualifying tests.

Th e facult y comm itt ee for LaSa ll e' s acc r edita t ion a r e (fro m left to r ight): Mr. Hawkins , Mr. Hafner , Mr s . Ha r tke , Mr. Cox, Miss La r son, and Mr. Armstron g .

Faculty members had to eva luate the school , too. Faculty committees discussed questions such as, "does the equipment p r ovided for the class ­rooms meet sta ndards?" "Are the extr a - curr icula r activities commen­s ur a te with the studen t body's needs?'' " Is the r e adequate space to display materials or.. projects ?'' " Is there enough pa rti cipation of students in their student government?''

NEW TEACHERS JOIN FACULTY The representatives of the state

education department who examined LaSalle used special forms to rate the school. Features of the physical plant, such as the lighting , the ventila ­tion , the furniture , and the heating facilities wer e judged "excellent", "good", or ''fair".

LaSalle High School is very for­tunate to have such a large and well equipped English Depa rtm ent. This year the school adde d five new mem ­ber s in th is depar tm ent.

A newcomer to LaSa ll e, but not to teaching, is Mr s . J acq uel ine Schimm el. She att ended St. Mar y's Coll ege and gr aduated fro m P ur due Unive r sity . Befor e coming to LaSa ll e, she taug ht at Was hington High School. She thinks LaSa ll e is a gr eat school, an d she lik es the students very much . Her classe s are not working on any specia l pr oject now, but they are r e­view ing gr amma r and other essentials . Presently s he has no t ime fo r hobbies, si nce her th ree year old daughter keeps her qui te busy .

Mr. Nelson prepares to throttle Senior Howard Krausman for not buying his 'Explorer-Lantern' subscription.

Anothe r newcome r to LaSalle is Miss Nancy Ferro . She graduatedfrom Eastern Montana Unive r sity and taught in Montana at Huntley Project High Schoo l before joining the LaSalle staff. At pr esen t , her classes are working on the Natura l Period of American Literature. She li kes LaSa ll e and feels that it is very well equipped . Her hobbies include tenn is and swimming.

"Explorer'' and "Lantern'' Combine Subscriptions

Th is year, after muc h consideration by all involved, it was dec ided that The Lantern and The Explorer should combine their subscription efforts.

The Lantern and The Explorer will continue as two separate publications and they will not be connected at all except through the subscriptions. Each will operate independently of the other and both will have completely different advisors with Mr. Merriman continuing as sponsor of the yearbook and Mrs. Schimme l taking over her new position as the adv isor for The Explorer.

The combined price is $6.50, which is to be pa id on the insta ll ment plan: $1. 50 down and $1 .00 a mon th. All yearbooks will have padded covers this year . They will also contain more

pages than las t year and some extra surprises that are not to be r eleased at this ti me . T he Explorer will be published every other week with a four page spread .

Editorial EXPERIMENT

EXPLORER scient is ts are now in thei r newly completed lab orat -0r ies preparing some new and uniqu e chem icals. The che mica ls must be th or oughly test ed a nd a ll r eac t ions must be recorded . Until the r eactions a r e r eco rded , the mad scientists will wait silently in their lab, wa iting . .. wa iting ... waiting . . .

LaSa ll eites can help the scientis ts in their work . The students can complete the r eac ti ons by writing to the EXPLORER on various issues: Do you like th e fact that th e EXPLORER is distributed on Monday ? Do you want to praise or cr iti cize someone or something ? Is there a ce rtain iss ue you want discussed ?

Help our scient ists! React to their expe r iments : Tests on distribu tio n da te:,, debate their findings , and work fo r your ideals! Write to the EXPLORER. Be sure to include a ll statistics of your reaction--your name , grade, and hom er oom numb er. The scientists will not be ab le to us e your rea cti ons without these statistics . Your name need not be revealed to the public.

Th e s cientist s need your reactions . With out them , pr ogr ess canno t be made ! Slip your r eactions secretly under the laborat or y door which has the number 227 above it. Hurry ! Th e mad scientists will sit silently in the ir lab, waiting ... waiting ... waiting

Dear Diary---Hanelu jah! Hall elujah! And a few

hallucinations, too ! All th e serious, hardworking members of the LaSalle student body and facult y a re back in the gr oove . From th e looks on most of the kids ' faces , it seems that LaSalle ­ites a re r esigned to another nine months of fo r ced labor.

II you wandered past Mr . Miller's r oom recently dur ing first hour, you might have seen twe nty-nine sen iors standing and facing East. A world histo r y class looking for Mecca? No, it was his economics cla ss praising the forces that be for resto ri ng the li ghts.

It is only the third week of school, and already certain illustrious stu ­dent s from LaSalle have set goals that will not b e reached until next Septe mber . Wh o could challenge BRUCE SHAFER'S r eco rd of having been kicked out of class three hundred and fort y- six times since s c h o o 1 started? Who can equa l KAREN GLASER'S feat of hav ing been the nine hundred and eighty-seventh stu­dent to see her counsel or in one hour? Then there is CHUCK VAN DE VEIRE with a re co rd of having fallen as l eep in eve ry class since school started!

Students aren't the only ones who a r e colle cti ng trophies for having won awards. MR. COX has been nomin ated for fifty -tw o Oscars for his po rtr aya ls of cave men discover ing som e matt er.

Must fill the bewild ered freshmen in on the lat es t news of the LaSalle con ­test s . Cont est number one has been organized by students who must si t

through a class in eith er r oom 222 or room 224. This is th e famous "See Who Can Catch Pneumonia F irst" con ­test. To ente r , you need only find a room with th e air cooli ng system ope rat ing full blast, sit dir ec tly in fr ont of that mass of arctic air for an enti r e class period without benefit of a sweater. Participants will be disqualified if the y are active during the hour, if they try to gain some warmth by climbing into a desk with someone else.

Contest number two involves a l ittl e more fi nesse . Th is idea was originally dev ised by the football team . It's ca ll ed "The L ion Squash". The object of the game is to see which lucky LaSalle student can compress himself int o the smallest possib le area and make it fro m the cafete r ia to his fift h hour class in one piece. Tackling is not permitted; however, blocking is con ­side r ed a ne cessi ty. By obse r ving th e footba ll tea m in ac ti on, studen ts can ge t a lot of pointers regar ding the fine points of the Lion Squa sh . Many peop le have su gges ted that trying to squirm your way through the ca fe ­teria clog is good training for th e inevitable traffi c jams of the futur e . Th er e have been no winners in the cont est, but DA VE PLATTS shou ld r ece ive a conso la ti on prize - -he lostan a rm , a shirt , two legs and s ix note­books in keen competiti on the othe r day .

Time to leave! Have to sea rch for my trusty weapons so I can make it fr om the newspa pe r office to the li br a ry in good conditi on!

LIBRARY GAINS MANY LITERARY MATERIALS The library ha s a thousand books All colo rs , hues , and t inges And every cover is a door That turn s on magi c hinges

It was the begi nning, the lib r ary beam ed with newness, shelves were em pty , boxes filled with books were piled high, the construction work er s brok e the library 's usual quietness, and the great task of organization was underway . The library proved to be th e hea rt of LaSalle sc hool. It was th e place students held meetings, the place where the artificial r esusc ita ­t ion demonstration was given on ' ' Anni e", th e pl ace where speakers gave juni ors a su rv ey of diffe r ent colleges , but mostly it was the s choo l 's me lting pot of knowledg e.

Th is is La Salle library's second year in exist ence and it is pr ogr essing ve r y well under t he competent dir ec ti on of Miss Larson and Mrs. Bur ns . Miss Larson is r es ponsibl e for much of the library's succ ess in th e past and with th e beginning of a new school yea r , the librarians along with student hel pe rs a r e busy putti ng the library in work­ing condition. Miss Lars on's job is to choose b o oks , magazines, and non ­print ed material to supp lemen t the curricu lum and to pr ovid e l eisur e r ead­ing for the students. Many new books, f ilm strips, and language re cords hav e been added. Ther e a re approximately 4600 books .

Mrs . Burns , previous ly fr om Stude­baker School , enjoys working in La­Salle's pleasant atm osp here. She is very int erested in LaSalle as a school a nd dependi ng on st udent intere st, she'd like to see many projects develop .

Stud ents working in the library are: fi rst hour--Nona Minerik, Charlene Ra tens ki , Mike Kenna , and Richa r d Hor vath; home r oom -- Rebecca Eli, P atty Nodd , and J ohn Car penter; seco nd hou r --Di a ne Heckl ins ki , Vicki Jab lon­sk i , Kathy Hartwic k, Mary Mill er , Michele Molna r, and J ohn Carpenter; third hour- - Lester Thornb erg and Eric Thompson; fourth hour--Karen Saun­ders and Ruby Dickey; fifth hour - -Sharon Wils on, Donna Schaner, and Cindy Ge irnae rt; sixth hour--Bonn ie Strycha lski , Bob Ruble, Dian a Cox, Li nda Golden, and Debo r ah DeClerca .

"We need a school run by the stu- great. Last year it was a little difficult dents." Debbie Lingren thought this forgetting our old loyalties but this would be an interesting experi ment. yea r I'm sure we all feel that LaSalle I also wanted th e studen t s t o discuss is our one and only s chool and it will what they were looking forward to become what we make it:- J

most this year. Debbie said she was r ea lly looking forward to mor e foot­ball games. Would you believe ... . s he is a freshman .

Now fro m our sophomores . Gloria La inhart suggested a student lounge where the students coul d go if they didn't want lu11ch. Glor ia is looki ng forward to Christmas vacation or any vacation for that matter. This ended my interv iew with the sophomores .

Our more mature juniors had quit e a few comments to make. Denny Yost sugges ted a court set up by and ru n by the students. They would jud ge anyone ca ught bre aking a school rule and would punish acco rd ingly .

Debbie Lewis said, " We should have a J udo instruction cours e in self defense . " (Debbie wants to pro­tect hers elf fr om a ll th e boys t r yi ng to break down her doo r. )

Gary Hess had different ideas . He wishes we had 35~ lunches again and he a lso had a few co mments to mak e about not counting out the spag hetti noodles. Gary wan ts to do any thing this year that he couldn't do as a sophomore.

Th er e should b e no gym and e specially no swimming for soph­omores, juniors or senio r s or it s hould be optional." She was willing to come half way though, with 15 minutes of vigo r ous activ ity every day and 15 minut es of home room to get necessa ry business done . Val hopes that we will a ll have mor e schoo l spirit this year and thinks that our t eams will be the gr'eatest. (Hope this is our coaches' opinion too .)

Marty Banicki said that our school is fin e tust as it is but he also thin ks that with more sc hool spi rit we would be way a head of any school around. Ma r ty is lookin g forward to the Senior Pr om and to tha t "a ll nig ht party".

THE EXPLORER

SCHOOL BUILDING FINALLY COMPLETE Once aga in th e students of LaSalle

High School walk their dear, beloved co rrid ors . Many things a r e the same , but there is somet hing new! To the incoming freshmen, of course, eve r y­thin g looks new.

Littl e by little, LaSalle is com ing to its completion. Th e main new ad­dit ion to the building is the new audi ­tor ium, locat ed to the ri ght of the mai n ent rance. The aisles are cov ered with r ed ca rp et ing and a r ed curtain covers the st age . Some of the new summer comp let ions include a student pa rk ing lot, comp le tion of the main en tra nce and some lands cap ing.

At the back of the school are the new basketball courts , tennis courts,

PUNCH LION The way I have it figured, I should

be able to have a column of my own. T her e is Open Lion, an artic le about sp orts and schoo l spirit in gene ral; ther e is Fren chy, a weekly goss ip co lum n and hat e make r , and finally ther e is Voice of T.H .E. People, in the South Bend Trib. So here is my con tribut ion to the ever growing field of self-made editorial writers.

Right at the top of my little list h ere is the apparent laziness of the spectators at the footba ll games . I can not ima gine a ny gro up of peopl e (or students for that matt er) who can be so lazy while wat ching a football game . Every time our team does something that even resemb les spectacularity , stand up and stretch . You might as well clear out your vocal chords with a booming "GO YOU LIONS!!!!!!"

Last yea r , at one game, the r e wer e so few s tuden ts in att endance that the game could hav e been given to the othe r team by default; the Lions felt s o small that the other team couldn't f ind them . Th ose guys out there bang­ing their heads toget her a r en't mad e of steel ; they're human , lik e you.

If any of those of you out th er e in newspaper land go to a football ga me to watch the game , you should be asham ed of yourselves . The purpose of a spectator at a game is to make himself heard and felt . Without the student body behind them, the team is just anot her tea m, not the LaSalle Li ons. You know that the Lions are your tea m, but do the team members know that you a r e the ir school? That is the most important thin g.

The other day I as ked Coach Klay ­bor what the team could be expected to do this yea r . I said , "Coac h, will the team be about the same as last year , or have they impr oved to the point tha t they can play effect ive ly a full vars it y s chedu l e?" His a nsw e r was an unequivocal, "Yes ."

James Welsh , Jr. , a LaS a ll e footba ll pla ye r , suffered a fractured ri ght foot in the football game against Clay. He was treated at Memorial Hospital where he was admitted in good conditi on.

and even a track and field course. For freshmen who are st i ll unfa ­

miliar with the school's layout, this is a r eminder that th ere is a back stair ­way l;>y the auditorium . It is much bigger and eas ier to use tha n the stairs by r oom 120.

LaSalle is also equipped with a sw immin g pool and dressing rooms for both boys and gir ls .

After a while, the building will be­co me familiar to a ll the students. The LaSall e librar y is in the pr ocess of being built up . It is loca ted at the base of the main stairwa y . Go in and look a r ound and get acqua inted with the books; they may p r ove to be helpful in your studies.

As it stands now, LaSall e is far ove rcrowd ed . Th e building is equip ped to hold about 1200 students but we now have an enrollment of about 1600. The congestion that results from this con ­dition mak es it hard to move fr om class to class. This yea r LaSa ll e has 23 new t eac hers. Many of you have come into contact with some of them .

LHS SENIOR IS 4-H QUEEN

J oan Ashley , a senio r at LaSa ll e, was chosen Queen of the Saint J oseph County 4-H Fair during the summer . She was chosen on the basis of points accumulated duri ng her memb e rship in 4-H act iviti es. A blue ribbon count s 5 points , a r ed ribbon counts 4 points, and a whit e ribbon counts 1 point. Dur­ing her 9 years of membersh ip in the Willi ng Workers of German T ownship , she has accumulated some 506 points.

Ther e are many categories in which t o enter projects and at one time Joan had as many as 17 projects entered in

the fair. Some of the past projects she entered came under such varied headings as: foods, food preservation, swine, steer, woodworking, electricity, clothin g, and health .

We here at LaSall e a re all very pro ud of J oan and hope she does just as well at the fair next year.

students get parking lot

Hello, out there, a ll you hippy - dippy hotr odders, and congratu lations, you have finally succeeded and now you have your very own, private parking lot. For those of you who are not familiar with the circumstances l ead ­ing up to the creation of this separate lot, I will r ela te them here and now.

Last yea r , in the late spring, a group of stu dents, who will remain anonymous at this time, set up timers,

Wre ckage of ca r demo lish ed in last year's LaSa ll e 30 still r es ts in th e west parking lot.

There were a few obsta cles to overcome _, ]:iowever. The obstacles uppermost in the pa r ticipan ts' minds were the other ca rs parked in the lot-turn ed-r ace-t r ack. And most of these belonged to teachers.

Students came here fr om all ove r; from Central, St. Joe, and Adams; there were even a few who didn' t go t o school for various reasons. But disaster struck one day during time tria ls -- a race car hit another car bel onging to a teac her. No one could eve r tell if a student's ca r had ever been hit. (The rem ains of the car are still in the old pa rki ng lot.) Well, ri ght then and there , Mr. Nelson called a meeting of all th e teachers that dr ove ei ther ca rs. One teacher passed his hat a r ound and collected a total of fifteen cents, which was then paid to a head of a depa rtm ent, for the purpose of writing a letter to the school board ask ing for an appropriation for a new parking lot. F inally, a prominent me m­be r of th e school board came to La ­Salle for a tour of inspection. As it turned out, his ca r was lift ed and th e app r opriati ons wer e made the next day.

FIRST GRID VICTORY FOR LASALLE VARSITY LIONS TRIP

CLAY, 20-13 LaSalle gained its first victory as a

varsity squad on Jackson's new field, scoring a 20 - 13 triumph, Friday, September 17, ove r a Clay squad that provided some spectacular moments while absorbing its third loss of the season.

The Lions a r e even for the cam ­paign at 1-1 having lost their opene rt o Penn. Th ey met Concord last Friday.

Kickoff returns of 80 and 85 yards by Clay's Gary Nellans provid ed the 2500 fans with the eveni ng' s top thrills . But otherwise the Colonials couldn't muster much of an offense, losing the ball six times on fumb les alone . Quar ter back Joe Kodba did comp lete five passes for 108 yards but the attack itself wasn't consisten t.

Trailing by seven points the ent ire four th period, Clay had a pair of good opportun iti es, but coul dn't cash in. Rich LaBrake re covered a muffed LaSa ll e punt at the 11- yard li ne early in the final qua rt e r but couldn't get any closer .

Later on, helped by a pass inter ­ference penal ty and a 15-yard pass from Kodba to Bruce Carter, Clay advanced to the 8-yard line. Ca rter was stopped on a fourth down and two play .

The Lions drove 7 4 yards in 13 plays to score with 7: 19 to go in the second period. An 18- yard pass from Randy McPhee to Tim Mee han was the big gain e r. Denny Yos t plunged the final yard and Dan Wojciech owski kicked the point.

Sixteen seconds later Nellans had Clay's first score on the board. The kickoff first went to Dave Stogsdill, and the handoff to Nellans was any­thing but smooth. T he delay eviden tly was just what Clay neede d, as Nellans bare ly outran three Lion defenders. Larr y Sanders' kick was wide .

The first time Clay had the ball in the second half , Kodba attempted a pitchout to Carter. Carter didn't ma ke contact and LaSalle tack le Jerry Price grabbe d the ball and easily dashed 15 yards for the score . Wojciechowski again converted.

It was Nellan's turn again . Th is time it was an 85-yard r un a ided by a crunching midfi eld block by Larry Cripe which took out the final Li on defensiveman. Sanders kick was good for a 14- 13 tally.

Price's recovery of a fumbl e at the Clay 35 set up the final TD . The Lions went the distance in 10 plays, Yost scoring from the two. Stogsdill blocked the conve rsi on with 1: 50 to go in the third per iod .

With halfbacks Jim Wels h and Bill Ayres out with injuries, LaSalle's attack dwindled in the fina l period, but Clay missed its chances .

FEMALE FOOTBALL FANS Fr iday night, September 16, was a

big night for LaSall e football fans . Everybody made the scene down at Jackson football field. I thought I 'd check the situation out so I go together with a couple of my cronies. We took in some comments as to who would win the game . This is what LaSalle students had to say when asked if they thought LaSalle would win the game :

" Yes, undoubiously , we have a better team all around ."

"Yes, my intui tion tell s me." "Yes. because we have th e top team

in the nation." "Yes, because we had a good pep

assemb ly ." "Yes, because Randy's on the

team." " Yes , because I'm here." "Yes, because we have the cutest

football players in the whole city." "Yes, because Clay has a bunch of

rinks." (Spoken from a Clay graduate.) Then we thought we'd cross sides .

This is what Clay students had to say when asked who they thought would win.

"W ho do you think?'' "Clay of course we' re better." "Clay, because we're great." "Clay, because we're us ed to play-

ing in the dirt." "C lay, beca use we've got to win one

game a season." ' 'Clay, because we have 33% fewer

cavities." "C lay! My son's on the team," sa id

th e man on the street. Despite the

circumstances, Clay students were very responsive and receptive .

During the first qua rter LaSalle plunged through the game with an abundance of enthusiasm and school spirit.

By the start of th e second quarter we had all socialized enough and were ready t o intently take in the game. A funny thing happened at the beginning of the second quarter. A LaSalle player got push ed, which caused him to miss the ball- - - - so everyone clapped?

At 7: 19 of the second quarter, every ­one clapped, chee r ed, th ere was a big pile -up, and the band played our school song. Very touching.

At 7 :07 of the second quarter , eve r y­one screamed, shouted, and some. twinkle toes stumbled on down the field for Clay. They didn't play our school song like before.

At 5:08 the coach kept helping guys off the field but nobody clapped.

All during this time LaSalle fans ma inta ined a fighting and vigorous spirit.

At 1:00 a Clay player threw a long ball which was caught by a LaSalle player, so at 00:48 as a gesture of good will, LaSalle tossed it back.

Then came half time and a new team came on the field, hence , more social ­izing .

At 10:25 of the third quarte r , we made another touchdown.

At 10: 10 of the third quarter, they did too. What is this- - - - -f oll ow th e

LaSalle is now complete! The final pipe has been insta ll ed . This pipeline runs from every corner of our splendid stru ctur e to Rl 30, and through it, we hope, will flow your comments, questions, and "tears" on matters re­lating to the school's athletic program. Students, send your contributions to me via The Explor er 's Sports Depart ­ment, and we'll make every effo r t to answer your inquir ies, to give heed to your comme nts and suggestions, and to supply each lamenting lion with an abundance of Kleenex . It is our hope that this colu mn will help provide a closer communication between the stu­dent body and the athletic department. Why wonder? Get your questions an­swered. Any suggestions to aid the program? Let's hear them! And, should you be remiss in responding to this call, I can always fill this space with an exciting dissertation on troublesome verbs. tsk.

Lion "Tails" -- Everyone has to ag r ee that our openi ng pep session of the year was indeed an effe rves cent and mem orable even t. The spirit generated in the gym by the synchronized leader ­ship of our cheer leading sextet (Debbie, Sharon, Nancy , Lynn, Marilyn and Kathy) and a live ly band bubbled-over unto J ackson Field in the evening and brought our chargin~ Lions home vic ­torious . Note: That sophomore section located in the sout h floor bleachers sounded awful tough to me. Seniors , beware!

The spontaneous and animated sing­ing of the school song by the r eturn ing

leader !?! At 7 :40 one of the players was in

dire need, so the r efe r ee threw him a red handkerchief.

At 6:33 some of the fans brought a question to light. " Why in the huddle do the players play ring around the r osey ?" "Because when the ball falls they all go down."

At 1:50 ofth ethi r dquarter -- anothe r touchdown, claps, school song, the works. We must be in a rut.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter it should be sa id that the cheerleaders have been great. During the whole game they have been very consistent about leading the crowd in cheers.

By 10: 55 of the fourth quarter the guys were so hot that the ones sitting on the bench fe ll off.

At 5:35 the game was somewhat standstillish.

2:54, the game goes on---r unning, guys getting car ried out, running ... same routine.

00:00 Well, they're playing the school song twice and people are leaving sooo . it must be over-- -- thank heavens! I'll bet eve r yone can just hardly wait for the next game . See you then.

The LaSalle Adult Booster Club has a social ext r avaganza on the planning board. Encourage Jour parents to attend the regular monthly meetings of this organization and to support its activities.

Doctors Davis and Mc Quade were a busy twosome during the Clay -L a ­Salle game . Bill Ayers sustained a badly bruised shin , Jim Welch followed with a broken large toe which could sideline him for the remainder of the season, and Curt Smith was knocked unconscious. Bill and Curt should be ready for the Concord Minutem en .

See you at Rice Field tonight. Until then , keep smiling . It makes everyone wonder what you've been up to .

In the last issu e of THE EXPLORER, an err or was made. A picture from the St. J oseph -Elkhar t football game got mixed in with LaSa ll e pictures at the photography studio and this picture was accidenta ll y printed in THE EX­PLORER. We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to th e foot­ball team and the coaches. We hope that this error will not be made again.
