The Alumni Association meeting last night focused attention on tomorrow's event, the Ribbon Cutting tomorrow night before the varsity football game against Roosevelt. This will be at 6:30 p.m. The wooden bleachers were replaced a few years ago with aluminum style benches and are for the home fans only. Capacity is rated at 2,100 persons. We may be getting close to a sell out for that game, so be as early as you can for the 6:30 p.m. Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony.

Mr. Jim Molina, LHS Principal, Ed Reyes, 1st District City Council Member, and LHS Student Body President will have the honors, at which time the lights for Andrus Field will become fully operational. At our meeting, we got a preview of the lights in action as they were being tested to make sure it all worked as per the plans.

Ticket prices were changed at the last minute by the Business Office and Gate Prices for available tickets will be $5.00, the same as pre-orders and not $7.00 as earlier announced to us. (Next game may be different- 4 night home games this year.)

LAST WEEK- LHS v. Mark Keppel, won by Lincoln, 41-0. Hope the team can keep up the momentum.

Our Varsity team will be on the field for the Ribbon Cutting.

Announcement: Due to problems beyond Alumni and Student control (at this time) there will not be a field marching band for this game. Several students and alumni band members will, however, volunteer to create a band to be set up in the stands to provide the necessary element to our games. More on the Band situation later.

Nov. 1 Gala Reunion tickets at $75.00 available now. Yes, Food served. It will be buffet style food stations, with seating throughout the area.

More later.
