Lustre News
Spring is officially here. Farmers are getting seed cleaned and preparing equipment for spring work.
The juniors and seniors of Lustre Christian High School had an exciting time April 1 as class sponsor Dan Morasco and his juniors planned an Italian themed evening for their banquet, cooked by home economics teacher Connie Button. It was held after the Glasgow Invitational Track Meet at The Cottonwood Inn. Roy Neufeld was the speaker for the 40 gathered.
Elective credits have been part of the curriculum at LCHS (band, choir, speech and drama, art, music appreciation, Spanish or German), but this is the first year LCHS offered home economics. Mrs. Button teaches on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. It begins with cooking, learning about spices, seasoning, planning meals, place settings and cooking a meal for your family. The next section was on laundry care, comparing cleaning products and learning how to take out stains. They have just finished a section on cleaning, including room inspections and understanding cleaning supplies. Currently, 17 students have learned how to make an emergency sewing kit appliqué by hand sewing and are beginning machine sewing. They will end the year with finances and car mechanics.
The Lustre area woke to two inches of very wet and welcome snow on Wednesday, April 6. More is on the way at press time April 12.
The LCHS track team has been doing quite well at Glasgow and Lambert Invitational meets recently. Jasiah Hambria won first place in the triple jump, the high jump and the 400 meter race, as well as second in the 200 meter race in Glasgow. Elijah Lenihan placed fourth in the high jump. There are a good number participating.
