THE BEST CONNECTIONS Student-teacher relationships played an ex- tremely important role at I. US. Whether it was the extra time a teacher freely gave to help solve a geometry problem, the hint from a chemistry partner in finding an unknown, the pat on the back from a coach after a mistake in practice, the smile from a counselor during the senior check, the wink from a staff assistant during checks for lunch passes or an encouraging word of congratulations from a grade-level ad- ministrator, each and every student needed and received continued support from members of the Lakewood staff. The ability to generate a grin here and there was an integral part of being known as a Lancer; the technique of making learning a fun experience was essential to the educational process. 1.

TOYS ARE US License plate frames that proclaimed He who has the most toys wins! heralded a shower of goodies that fell on the lucky at Lakewood. In an era of increased disposable income and more leisure time, many students found ways to both spend their ex- tra money and buy the toys that made young adults happy. Scooters were as much a fun item as they were transportation, and, speaking of transportation, limousines had become an almost ordinary experience for the Class of 1988. Jet skis, surfboards, water skis, snowmobiles, four-wheel drive vehicles and convertibles with cellular telephones were all part of Lancer life. Amusement parks provided more thrills, as students spent many a moment at Disneyland, Knott ' s or Magic Mountain. Toys were us, and we had a blast! 1.
