Late news:

The Alumni Career Share Day planned for Wednesday, October 15th is postponed until February. We had many alumni unable to return on that particular date and with the upcoming 90th Anniversary Events, the planning efforts have stretched thin our alumni organizing staff.

FOOTBALL GAME- Oct. 10th.

Friday's game against Belmont was the second night game for LHS. We didn't win the varsity game, but it was not until the second half that Belmont was able to score. The 4 pm game played by the jv or frosh/soph, whichever is more accurate, was a winner for LHS.

Attendance was less than the first game, but there still seemed to be more spirit from the fans who did come, and there were lots of them. Still no field band for Lincoln, but our students and alumni members joined for a band in the stands and was making their presence known. The half-time presentation by Belmont's marching band and their combination of cheerleaders, drill team/ dancers was very impressive and received well by the LHS fans.

We continue to demonstrate good sportsmanship on the field and in the stands. I heard many people complimenting the Belmont students on their half-time performance. As the Belmont bus convoy left, it did not appear to have the police car escort at the end of the line which I noticed happened as the Roosevelt busses left Lincoln following their game here.

Lincoln Heights Youth Football players and coaches were presented at half-time, taking a walk on the field where many of them will be playing when they become LHS Tigers in a few years.

Unfortunately, there was a very small showing of fans on the Belmont side, missing the opportunity to show their support of the Belmont football players and half-time accomplishments of the performers.

LHS had less time on the field at half-time, but the dance performance was very enjoyable. Our Tiger cheerleaders were there to keep the fans involved and entertained. We have some excellent lighting on the field now and if you haven't been by yet, do take in the game at least once this year. We have two left at home.

The football program at night is improving with each experience. We have the home and visitor concessions in operation. The Alumni booth on the visitor's side was sold out very early, while Mr. Huff's basketball team was able to handle the overflow from Belmont's side after the half-time performance.

The entire event proceeded smoothly, but there is still one element from days of old that is missing, namely, the alma mater being sung at the end of the game.

Some conflicting information was passed along that was printed on these pages. Game times were announced at first as 7 pm then 6 pm, but then the varsity game was played at 7. The student ticket prices were reported to be $2.00, but then it seems that that is the price for a 12-years and under child, the students paying $4.00. The gate price is $5.00 for students and adults, and that seems to be the only thing that is not changing.

No game next week. After that week, the game on Oct. 25 is at Wilson High in El Sereno, a night game.

The third night game at home will be Homecoming on Halloween, October 31st, Friday at 6 p.m.

Do the family trick or treating early and come out to show your support of the Tigers in the night time environment at LHS' Homecoming Game played against Los Angeles High School.
