 £)eclica ti on We, the students of Lake Oswego High School, are proud to dedicate the 1955-56 Lakers’ Log to Mrs. Dorothy West. Mrs. West has untiringly devoted her services to our school since its beginning five years ago. Mrs. West is a symbol of the modern woman who has been able to successfully fulfill her responsibilities to her home, her profession and her community. Her knowledge and versatility have been demonstrated by her excellent teaching of the following subjects: Latin, mathematics, typing, and as an advisor to Joma. It has been because of her that the annuals of the past four years have been a reflection of the improvement and growth of our school. We are grateful that she has given so unsparingly of herself, her talent and her time. We pay tribute to a good friend, and a fine lady, in dedicating our annual to Mrs. Dorothy West, mother, teacher, and citizen. 7

They were beginning their important job of solving the problems of this area. The most important issue confronting the Board was the hearing of reports on the proposed junior high school. The first thing to decide was how the land would be cleared and graded. They were also concerned about how it would be logged. They received bids for clearing and grading the junior high site. After careful consideration, Shirley Stone Construction Company’s bid was accepted bv the Board. Plans, presented by various architects, were considered next. The architect chosen was Julir and Sons. During the year reports came in about the progress of the construction which was hampered by inclement weather. The renaming of the Oswego grade school to Lakewood relieved the confusion of school names with Oswego in them. Among the minor activities of the School Board during the year were accepting resignations and applications of employment of teachers, discussing expenditures on soft ice cream machines, pick-up truck and blacktopping of Beasley Way, selling and purchasing property, evaluating curriculum reports in the various departments, discussing general improvement of school facilities, raising the teachers’ salaries, and forecasting the enrollment for the 1956-57 year. Mrs. Mary Smith did an excellent job as secretary of the School Board by keeping a record of all expenditures of the district and recording the business at every meeting. 8
