September 7, 1971 Lakeridge opened its newly fitted doors to more than a thousand students. Upon entering the building they were greeted by John Praggastis' movie cam- era and their own echoing voices. When they weren't searching frantically for future locker partners. people wandered through the building and reacquainted themselves with old friends. Later in the morning a general assembly was held to give everyone an opportunity to meet faculty members and administration. Stu- dents spent the rest of the first day in intro- ductory seminars. getting their pictures taken and exploring their new school. Q- 'Fix t Mft' mi ' 1 t. 'Qt' .
