Lakeside School - Numidian Yearbook (Seattle, WA)

JAMES SCHROEPPEL Jim's the old man of this year's graduating class. He has been at Lakeside seven years. ln this respect Jim is a celebrity, for he is the last seven-year man to graduate from Lakeside, since the sixth grade no longer exists. Jim has always liked mechanical and electrical gadgets. Long ago he turned all his attention towards this field and so far has performed admirably. As a member of the Drama Club, he really helped make Command Decision and She Stoops to Conquer successful. He was the lighting and sound effects man, and probably the best suited for this role in the school. His greatest asset to the school has been his willingness as the un- official school photographer. He has taken pictures for the Numidian, the Tatler, school dances, and almost every other activity one can think of, besides doing some professional work in this field on the side. Jirn's business talents are evidenced in his activities in Junior Achievement and United Photos. ln his senior year he was appointed assistant editor of the Tutler. No one seems to be able to get used to the idea that Jim is one of the brains of the class. Nevertheless, Jim has kept his grades at top level, has won innumerable Gold Star and Honor Roll awards, and is in the Cum Laude Society, an honor bestowed only on the hard- working few. This is rather surprising, for Jim, a small man with unfailing high spirits and a natural friendliness, seems to be easy-going and seldom worried about anything. Jim will be a success in his chosen field of electronics. College Choice: M.l.T. Will. l will not turn out for athletics. JOHN SANGSTER The riddle of John's great success could be answered by our saying, He's iust one of those people who are born to lead. John's serious and conscientious personality compels the friendship and respect of all. After arriving at Lakeside as a sophomore, John proved his outstanding personality by being elected iunior class president. He did such a good iob at the post that the next year he was unanimously elected student body president. lt was practically inconceivable that anyone else should head the school. John seems perfectly at home standing by the podium, one hand in his pocket, and calmly telling the student body what ought to be done and what will be done. We shall never forget his familiar voice saying, Now look, you guys . . . John was a member of the Senate for two years, a participant in the Speakers' Corps, and Secretary-Trease urer of the Parsons Club. John's interest in cars was revealed not only by the care he gave his own car, but also by his representation at the Teen-Age Traffic Conference and his organization of the new Lakeside Traffic Safety Committee. As an athlete, John was a valuable asset to the Parsons in all sports, besides turning out for Varsity football and track. In spite of all these activities, John made the Gold Star list and found time to enioy his high school days. John's outstanding likability, humor, and competent leadership will be sorely missed at Lakeside in years to come. College Choice: Colorado, University of Washington.

WILLIAM RYAN Little Billy, the boy with the hoarse voice and the wonderful sense of humor, came to Lakeside as a freshman, and soon grew in both stature and popularity until, as a senior, he was one of the busiest men in the school. Whether in his capacity as a senator, an actor, editor of the Tatler, or representative to the Teen-Age Traffic Conference, Bill is always found working with extreme industry. As editor of the Tatler--Bill's pride and ioy, but also his headache- he has done admirably. Bill has had plenty of opportunity to show his competence, for it is quite a bottle to keep the Tatler going, even on its highly irregular schedule. But to improve the paper, as Bill has done by his refreshing editorial policy, is a feat for which we should certainly applaud him. Bill has shown his literary talents by writing a number of very fine articles for the Numidian, by his ability at speech, and by the character he has read into the part of Leonard in The Man Who Married u Dumb Wife, as well as by his contribution to the school paper. Bill's favorite sport is golf, in which he received two letters. Bill Ryan, who didn't neglect academics, also found a little time for the Ski Club, the Speakers' Corps, Varsity football, and cheer-leading. He is well-liked for his serious and conscientious manner, tempered by pleasant wit. His willingness to do all those little iobs that iust have to be done by some- body has won him the appreciation of his classmates. Bill will do well in law study.

Page 22 WILLIAM RUTHFORD Ever since Bill's arrival at Lakeside, he has been an outstanding basketball player AI though he was ineligible for varsity ball as a sophomore he played well on the Frosh Soph team. As a junior, however, Bill made the team, After a slow beginning he came into his own and easily made his letter. In his senior year, he was one of the team s better players and helped pull Lakeside out of an atrocious basketball slump His contributions to the team can not be overlooked. ln addition to being a consistent scorer he was able to pull in more than his share of rebounds. During the spring months Bill diverts his attention from basketball to track. He is one of the schooI's best high jumpers and a fine quarter miler In his senior year Bill is a tall, friendly boy with an elfish sense of humor He enioys the reputation of being a practical ioker and tries to live up to this tag but he shows an interest and sympathy for those less fortunate than he. He is famed for his social lfe and enioys a late night as well as any of us. Upon leaving school, Bill hopes to go into forestry work His big smiling face will

JOHN R. SHUMWAY John's versatile character, with its friendliness and humor iwhich sometimes borders on rowdinessl but underlying seriousness and sense of duty, has brought him the friendship and good will of all those with whom he has come into contact in his four years at Lakeside. Mc- Minnville, Oregon, could not have chosen a more likeable or humanly warm ambassador to TIM SETH Tim is a pale, slender boy with a smile which seems to split his face in two. Except with his intimate friends, he is a quiet boy-or perhaps calm would be a better word, for Tim is certainly no introvert. He is usually found going about his business quietly, chatting with someone, but never in a hurry except when he is in his car. Although Tim is quiet and thoughtful, he has been accepted and respected by his class- mates, and when constructive advice is needed, he is always ready with relevant, intelligent, and progressive suggestions. In anything in which he is involved, he is a dependable worker. l'im's ready smile and serious thinking have portrayed a stabilizing influence in our class. In athletics, he participated in club sports and played on the golf squad. Scholastically, he received the gold star, and ranked high in scientific subiects. To those who know Tim, it is clear that there is a future for him in the sciences. His mechanical mind is demonstrated by the loving care he gives his car, which is a machine of reciprocating perfection. Tim's quiet but warm man- ner is bound to bring him the friendship and respect of his associates throughout his life. His ideas in science, as evidenced by some inventions he already is interested in developing, are bound to bring him recognition in the field of mechanical engineering, in which he is going to specialize when he goes to college.

As evidence of John's popularity and the unusual respect he has attained, he was elected vice-president of both the Dormitory Council and the Parson Club as well as serving in the Sen- ate and Athletic Council. John's service on the Athletic Council and his membership in the Big L Club reflect his athletic achievements. His love of sports, especially basketball, in which he lettered for three years, and his determination to excel, have brought him recognition for his contributions to the school in basketball, baseball, and tennis. John's other activities vary from cheer leading to the public speaking course. As a chairman of dance committees, John has worked hard and displayed an interest and willingness to contribute to the social life of the school. It can truly be said that Lakeside has done a lot for John Shumway and that John has done a lot for Lakeside. All will agree that it is a great pleasure to work or to play with this well-dressed Oregonian. John plans to study business engineering. College Choice: Oregon, Oregon State.
