CHARLES BAILLARGECN JIM AGEN Jim Agen is a fellow who stands head and shoulders above the crowd both physically and socially. As can be seen from the informal picture of Jim, he is an outdoor man. He feels at home when he has either a gun or a fishing rod in his hand. By looking at Jim, one can see that he is not the type to avoid hard, physical exercise, or to stay indoors because of the elements. Although Jim is quiet, he has a fine sense of humor and that very rare ability to lit in practically anywhere, He has an unusual type of sarcasm which can never offend because Jim is never bitter about anything. He is slow to anger, but anyone who knows him is wise enough to respect his point of view. No one can deny that Jim commands the respect of all those with whom he comes in contact. Jim came to Lakeside as a sophomore from the East where he was an excellent hockey and lacrosse player. He soon became a stalwart end for the Lions: but in his senior year, having used up his four years of eligibility, he was forced to confine his contribution to vocal encour- agement of the Varsity squad and to coaching the Whitcombs. In the middle of the year Jim's classmates were all sorry to hear that he had decided to finish off his high school career at La Conner. We all wish Jim the best of luck at whatever he does. Although recognition wouldnt be too important to Charlie, far too few people at Lake- side realize and fully appreciate Charles Baillargeon's contribution to the school in the years that he has been here. Charlie is the old man of the class and certainly its most loyal mem- ber. Charlie's modesty is so great that few would know that he has done business work for the Numidian, has been business manager for the Drama Club, has played Varsity football for four years, has raced Cross-Country for the Ski Team, has been an active member of the Ski Club, and has played basketball and baseball for the Parsons. The school has recognized this very great contribution, however, by awarding Charlie a President's Medal in l953 for his extra- curricular activities. Everyone admired Charlie for the application, devotion, and plain hard work he demonstrated both in his football career at Lakeside and in his efforts on the Ski Team, The loyalty and faithfulness which we saw in football are typical of the attitude Charlie takes in anything he does. The complaints that were heard in some quarters that there were never enough Lakesiders at their own games either at home or away, never applied to Charles Baillargeon, who is an avid supporter of all Lakeside activities. Charlie has a quiet but wonder- ful sense of humor. As all who have conversed with him will say, Charlie is well-read and well-informed on current events. His loyalty and his ability to win the respect and trust of those with whom he comes in contact are destined to make him a first-class citizen, Page 27

THE C LASS OF I956 The junior class has just finished one of its most crucial years at Lakeside, it has demonstrated that it is ready to assume any responsi- bility. The Class officers were Jay Baker, president, Alan Beall, vice- president, Bill Evenson, secretary, Mike Foley, treasurer, and Bert Cassels, sergeant-at-arms. The class senators were Tim Hall, Joe Henke, Paul Anderson, and Mike Foley, and the members of the Athletic Coun- cil were Howard Adler, Van Jordan, Paul Anderson, and George Powell. The juniors sent a determined and skillful group of boys to partici- pate in all types of athletics, several boys received their letters in major sports, and many juniors added to Lakeside's strength in skiing and tennis. The Class of 1956 met and overcame many of the problems which traditionally confront a junior class trying to keep its chin up and to demonstrate a high level of competence. A junior class at Lakeside is faced with the problem of putting on two dances yearly, the Basketball Dance and the Junior Prom, this year's junior class had foreseen these dances, and had, through the sale of bookcovers and rooters' hats, collected an ample treasury. With this financial backing the juniors could concentrate on making the affairs the best ever, and managed to put on two very pleasant and successful dances. The juniors also deserve credit for the scholastic power which they have shown, for not many have succumbed to the rigorous plan of study which besets a junior at Lakeside. The past year has seen so few members of the class drop out that a strong foundation is left upon which we can build our senior year.
