Ian Rifqewaq Don Ridgeway came to Lakeside in his freshman year. Don took great delight in his anatomical sketches, occasionally on ties. His first three years at Lakeside were enlightened by his association with Mr. Pletz, who taught Don some German. This led to constant friction between Don and the editor of the Tatler since Don wanted to do all his articles in German. Don turned out for football and was a follower of the cinder sport. He liked to ski and prided himself on his ability to write short stories in the tradition of Poe. His grade average has been consistently one of the highest since his arrival at Lakeside. fbaae Roiinfian Dave Robinson spent four years at Lakeside. During this period, he contributed much to the sghool-much more, in fact, than most people realize. Although he won a football letter, his greatest achievements were journalistic. He worked on both the Numidicm and Tatler and his work on the latter was outstanding. He traveled to Tacoma with the basketball team during the tournament, and somehow managed to get the story of each game in the Times the following day. He spent most of his time in the Taller office and probably wrote as much as anyone on the staff. Dave is also another of the maroon and gold star winners from the class of '48. flelu Sfffzea Seniors last year turned to stare as Mr. Hendricks' physics class became a mass of electrical jargon. Center of the discussion turned out to be the newcomer, Pete Sykes. This year, he has shown how helpful this sort of knowledge is to Lakeside school life, He was soon doing the wiring for the dances, pep rallies, and other activities. His lasting contribution to the school will be a record player-public address amplifier which he has constructed for the student body. .Bean 751414 President of the dormitory council, president of the Parson Club, and vice-president of the senior class, Leon Titus was kept busy during his senior year. Leon, one of those Tacoma boys, carried four difficult subjects in his senior year and was a consistent Gold Star winner. Among other athletic achievements, he proved capable as second baseman on the baseball team and was the top hitter on the squad with a respectable .316 batting average. As well as this, he was outstanding in football, basketball and tennis. Coming here in the eighth grade, Leon has made a definite impression on Lakeside. The TATLER feuds were u highlight of the Robinson-Gutmann regime. Reaction from Franklin, Bothell and Vashon proved the TATLER was read. PAGE 11 E '. i X' SP' ,L S4 ., a Nr' lf , l I N' wifi 1908

Turning out for varsity basketball, he won a starting position as right forward on Coach MarX's five, and twice scored seventeen points. His aggressiveness and backboard work were a great asset to the team, Marty was a conscientious student and well liked by both the faculty and the students. The dinner at the Dighfs in honor of the football team was memorable. The pictures in the caught the spirit of the affair.
