HOWARD ADLER Howard was an outstanding member of his class both academically and ath- letically. Ever since the seventh grade, Howie has been at the top of his class and an excellent example to his classmates, having been on the Gold Star list several times. He was elected vice-president of his class in his freshman year, secretary- treasurer of both the Athletic Council and the Big L Club in his senior year, and a member of the Senate for two terms. Howard turned out for varsity football for one year, but, unfortunately, he began having trouble with his knees and had to give the sport up. The two sports in which Howard excels the most are basketball and baseball, he is a two-year letterman in basketball and a three-year letterman in baseball. In basket- ball, Howie was the second highest scorer and the best dribbler on the team in his senior year. His keen sense of humor and enthusiasm helped greatly to keep the morale of the team high. Howie played third base on the baseball team, proving himself proficient at that position, he was also one of the best batters on the team, winning several games for Lakeside with a home run hit. Howie has an extremely sharp wit and a store of ready iokes that help him make friends easily. He always looks on the brighter side of things, and his ability to get along with people will greatly help him in his future life.

BRGOKE ALBERTSON Although Brooke was probably the quietest and most reserved member of his class, he has been a great asset to the school and to his fellow students. Brooke did not have a single 'enemy' during his three years at Lakeside, although many students did not know Brooke well, he was respected and liked by all. His main reason for coming to Lakeside was to take advantage of the fine educational standards the school offered, consequently, Brooke has concentrated most of his efforts on his studies. Brooke has been awarded the Gold Star numerous times, his determination and academic prowess will aid him in his chosen occupation as a lawyer. Athletically, Brooke excels in golf, having competed on the golf team for two years, In basketball, he was one of the star players for the Whitcomb club until he was forced to give it up for medical reasons. We are sure that Brooke will be a success at any endeavor, he has impressed us with his academic reserve and determination. His good attitude in the class- room is typical of everything he does. He wants to become a lawyer, and we arc sure that through his perseverance he will accomplish this goal. College Choice, Whitman, University of Washington.
