THE BIG SPLASH Water was a major factor in the life of a Lakewood Lancer and helped them to relax away from studies and work. They found many ways to accomplish this task. Running down a slip-n-slide at full speed was one way. Another might involve some friends engaged in an impromptu water balloon fight. Even a car wash that was supposed to be a fund raiser could be turned into a raging water battle by overzealous Lancers. Squirt gun fights and amusement parks also helped quench the thirst that LHS students had for liquid refreshment. It seemed that they could never get enough of Mother Nature ' s H20. What would happen to them if they didn ' t live in Southern California? Could you imagine the difficulty these Lancers would have in a different locale? They were fortunate to be able to enjoy it while they could. ' ' - mbatr ' 28 The Big Splash

HEARTBEATS Pitlcr-pat, pitlcr-pat, heartbeats loudly sounded at the thought of these special moments shared between special friends. Lancers were a bit romantic at heart, and no matter what season it was, romance always seemed to blossom. The hope that there would always be that certain person to en- courage us with a warm smile, a friendly spirit, and an ear to listen to, became a common thread among LHS students. The search for that person was an important part of a Lancer ' s life as well. Through good times and bad, sharing the highs and lows of daily life became a part of each person ' s existence at Lakewood High School. The friendships forged here would last a lifetime, leaving Lancers with memories to be cherished forever. The beating of Lancer hearts meant close relation- ships, special and unique to all.
