YEARBOOKS AS OLD AS YOU ARE 

Homecoming means a lot of things to a lot of people, but until I pulled out all the yearbooks to give to Mrs. Bromley for a nostalgic faculty display, I honestly didn't realize how much time had gone by. I have been so focused on getting this library built up for student and teacher use, the time when by in a hurry. So to me, the student theme this year IT'S TIME really hit home. IT'S TIME, because that's all we've got that really matters, IT'S TIME because this particular point in time will never come by again (so ask the girl or guy out you want to be with on Homecoming night, don't stand on ceremony), IT'S TIME because noticing the people around you, not the things, is really what is important. "People first, then things," as Suzie Orman says, trying to get us to focus on the most important elements in this span of time. So be brave! Have courage! Even if the person you ask is stupid enough to say "No", you have tried and used your time well. No regrets. IT'S TIME!

That's 16 yearbooks, going on 17.
Miss Mayne and Mrs. Bromley are both amazed at how
many years are reflected by the yearbooks that LPHS has
been around .  You can find these yearbooks at the Media
Center in the Archive cupboard for viewing.

THE KITES ARE DOWN &



 IT'S BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL!


Welcome back to LPHS Media Center and to all of the things we offer you! We're hoping to see much more reading this year since more English Teachers are becoming involved in the Thirty Book Challenge with their classes. Our current book count is over 16 thousand books---there ought to be 30 books of interest to you somewhere in here!
