As a Lancer, there are some words you will need to become familiar with in order to understand and speak the Linganore lingo, so Lancer Media has provided you with a Lance-tionary to study up on your LHS vocabulary!

Camo Out (Student section theme): Everyone in the student section at a sports event dresses in camo, the school’s signature print; this and other student section themes are announced on the Tribe’s Twitter page before games @TheLHSTribe.

I Believe (Chant): One of the many chants the student section performs that is spoken in the hallways on game days, at pep rallies, and during sports events; led by the Chief who starts by yelling “I” and progresses to chanting “I believe that we will win!”  All chants are yelled three times by the student section.

I-70 (Football title– competition with our rival, Urbana): Title, trophy, and bragging rights given to the school who wins the annual varsity football game against Urbana; the title name derives from Interstate 70, which both schools share.

Lancer (Mascot): Official school mascot represented by the spear or lance used by local Native American tribes. (Community member): Every student, faculty, and community member representing our school.

Louie the Lancer (Statue– a reminder of our original mascot): The proud Native American chief who guards the school from his display on Main Street.

Main Street (Hallway): Main hallway that runs from the main entrance to the back door; its center holds the two main staircases that carry students upstairs to the 2nd floor.

Mr. Linganore (Competition): Male “beauty” pageant in which twelve seniors participate in several preliminary competition and events like formal wear, talent, and interviews in hopes of earning the title of Mr. LHS.

One Tribe (We are ALL one) The students, faculty, and community; a family that sticks together and works hard to represent our school using a variety of gifts and talents  (Feeling) The spirit of connectedness that flows through the school and its community; feeling of unconditional support from our fellow Lancers.

Promposal (Question): The way a boy asks a girl to be his date to prom (at least one must be an upperclassman); has been done with flowers, posters, and even a horse.

Roll Tribe (Call to action): Adopted from the popular phrase used at the University of Alabama, “Roll Tide,” this is a motivational phrase used to pump up athletes and encourage them to represent our school to the best of their ability; during football season, you may see #RollTribe painted on several Lancers’ cars.

Student Section (Designated seating– students only): Assigned seating at sports events where current students are expected to gather; the Tribe occupies the front row; seniors occupy the next; juniors stand behind them, and so on, with the freshmen in the back.

The Chief (Leader): Official leader of the Tribe who starts chants and leads the student section; usually can be seen wearing a headdress during games and spirit events; next year’s chief is soon-to-be senior Joe Calder.

The Lance (Newspaper– to inform and entertain): Established in 1963, the student-run newspaper publishes profiles, daily announcements, photos, sports scores and more.  If you had your photo taken today, chances are you are featured in The Lance!  Follow us on Twitter/Instagram @LHSJournalism, on Facebook, and on our website at www.lhslance.org.

The Tribe (School spirit– to lead our students): Male members of the senior class who paint their chests for sports events, according to the student section theme; lead students in chants during games, pep rallies, and in the hallways.  Follow them on Twitter for announcements on games, student section themes, and more @TheLHSTribe.

Remember these terms!  Your quiz will be the first day of school!
