[edit] School Colors

So, what's the deal with the school colors? There seems to be a fight over edits concerning Maroon vs. Cardinal. LHS's site currently says Cardinal, and I've been told by other alums that the principal made the change. Courtarro 13:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The official school colors are Cardinal and Gold. This was implemented this fall and all school attire (jersey's, graduation gowns etc) are changing colors. Allsomeheadybrah 00:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

The principal did indeed the make this change. The school colors have been maroon and gold since atleast the 80s. This is strictly through discussion with alumni I know through the band program, so there is no real way to document it.

Here's further proof that the school colors have ALWAYS been officially Maroon and Gold. Shall we look at the Alma Mater...with words and music:

"Dear Lassiter your praise we sing

And honor to your name we bring. Our steps are led in days of youth Within your walls to seek for truth. Here learn to serve, to love, to live And to the world our best to give. You are building for the future years With hope and confidence ‘mid smiles and tears. Led on by honor’s radiant star Your glory still shall shine afar. We will cherish you when hearts grow old And revere your maroon and gold. " Offical School Alma Mater I really doubt the alma mater has been wrong this entire time. The new principal may have "changed them", but I think this shows that the true school colors are in fact maroon and gold. (Rockabillykid 11:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Deceased Students

When I attended Lassiter, there was a "courtyard" outside the cafeteria with four benches in memory of the four students who had died while I was in attendance there. I am sure there are many who attended Lassiter who are now deceased, but I am in search of one individual, who rode my bus, and very "unpopular". I really need to find his name.

We rode the bus that went through Forest Chase and Windsor Oaks subdivision from 1985 - 1987. This individual was a male who lived in Windsor Oaks, was very much a loner, had a lot of issues (took meds) and was found outside on his property in the woods apparently overdosed on his meds. It was not apparent whether he commited suicide or it was an accident. Can anyone please help me find out what his name was? It has been 22 or so years and I can't get this kid out of my head. I've been having dreams about him - and would like to put some closure to this. Thanx!!
