THE STUDENT COUNCIL The student government of Lakeside school is directed by a group of elected student officers who function under a school constitution. At meetings school problems and worthy student proiects are considered. This year Paul Voinot headed the student council as prexy. Ably assisting were Bill Middle- brook as vice-president, Fred Lyman as secre- tary, Clint Merrill as treasurer, and Bill Lake as sergeant at arms. During the year the student body has contrib- uted a great deal to the school. First they bought an expensive Speed Graphic camera for the use of the school publications. At Christmas time an auction was held to raise money in order to purchase a picture from the Merchant Seamen's Service exhibit, which would also help some sea- man to continue his career in art. Also they pur- chased two pictures of lions which now hang in the front of the study-hall. The four classes in the upper school are di- vided into distinct governing bodies under the jurisdiction of the student body as a whole and the otticers of the separate classes.

SENIOR CLASS Cl.ASS The Class of 1945 is perhaps aptly described as the war class of Lakeside. Our Freshman year was only four months old when the United States commenced hostilities, and as we prepare to graduate, the end of the war is now in sight. Of the forty members of our class, eight are already in the armed forces. Two of these eight, Jim Gallagher and Keifer Fobes, enlisted in the Marine Corps following the completion of our Junior year. Of the remaining six, Dick Finke of Portland, Chuck Elliott of Alaska, Beriah Brown of Yakima, and Don McKay, have all joined the Navy since February. The other two, Fred Hul- bert and Henry Isaacson, are midshipmen in the Merchant Marine Cadet training program. Thirteen of the remaining thirty-two members of the class have enlisted in the service and are waiting to be called, and all but four or five members of the class expect to be working for the government before the first of the year. lt was back in T937 that the War Class of Lakeside first materialized, and you can be sure that a world war was far from the thoughts of any of us in those days-or at least such a possi- bility wasn't preventing us from sleeping soundly. Tom Gleed was the first member of the Class of 1945 to see the tower of Bliss Hall. He enrolled in the Lower School in the fall of 1937 as a fifth grader. The only distinguishing feature of our class' initial appearance at Lakeside was prob- ably that Gleed managed to dominate the class completely that year. But this is better explained by mentioning that he was the lone fifth grader. With this inauspicious beginning the present graduating class, with Gleed as a nucleus, added in 1938 Hugh Matheson, another Alaska boy, and in the following year, Scott Kline of Everett, and Harrington Schiff. The next year found the class as eighth graders, augmented with the addition of Fred Lyman, Sandy Peacock, Slats Brown, Warren Bean, and Henry Isaacson, all of Seattle. As Freshmen the next year our ranks were swelled to twelve strong with the enrollment of Clinton Merrill of Harrah, Washington, Fred Hulbert, and Bamby Pratt. Alan Ferguson served as president, and, with Mr. Elliot as advisor, we showed promise by having a successful year. 6 HISTORY Seattleites George Adair, Rusty Cummings, Jim Talbot, Chet Manock, Frank and Fred Hop- kins, Keifer Fobes, Bill Middlebrook, Jim Galla- gher, and Paul Voinot all entered school as Soph- omores. That year, with Bamby Pratt as Presi- dent, we successfully sponsored plays at the Showboat and Penthouse theaters and added more money to our class fund. Warren Bean pitched outstanding ball on the baseball team in the spring to become the first sophomore to win a major letter. Asking no quarter from the Seniors, we al- most dominated the football squad in our Junior year, and we have continued to dominate the athletic scene since. Sixteen more Juniors en- tered during this year, increasing our number to thirty-eight. Among these new students were John Bodle, Beriah Brown, Dick Finke, Bob Habegger, Don Leehey of Portland, John Gul- lickson of Tacoma, Dick Frost, and Howard Wright. Also entering as Juniors were Jack Tremper, Bill Lake of Portland, David Ketner, Joe Schenk, Don McKay, and Newell Smith of Seattle, Bill Cowals of Grand Coulee, and Milson John- ston of Pasco. As Juniors under President Warren Bean we gave an outstanding prom for gradu- ating Seniors, in addition to the basketball dance, which was judged one of the best dances of the year. Also as Juniors we were prominent in forming a Hi-Y club at Lakeside. Last fall as Seniors we came into our own. The front door of Bliss Hall was now open to us and we enjoyed reclining on the Senior Bench. Dick Bouillon and Chuck Elliott joined us for our Senior year, and with John Bodle as president, and Mr. Logan as advisor, our class has spon- sored money making projects, and has been active in athletics as well as student government. As Lakeside classes go, ours wasn't a great one: we have made less money for our gift to the school than some of our predecessors, al- though an athletic class, we have had no great athletes, in scholarship we have not made a particularly good record. We would like to be remembered as a typical Lakeside class, loyal to the school and our classmates, at least mod- erately ambitious, and always a credit to Lake- side.
