Conducting a mock election which pre- ceded the ’’real thing in November as well as investigating the how and why of the stock market were senior class projects. When these young adults put to practice the things they learned in American govern- ment and economics, they'll be top notch citizens. For Servi Inside stories reveal that serious as well as humorous moments have their-place in the classroom. ice to Mankind” These four words . . . often seen but seldom noticed . . . like the unheard ticking of the clock . . . are in the motto of our school. Encased in the school plaque, the gift of the architect, Harford Field, For service to Mankind is perched high above the busy entrance hall. This unique symbol is a faithful reminder . . . when we need it ... of the goals and ideas of Glen Lake High. We students may twist and shout during the noon hour break, and shake the rafters when cheering for basketball games . . . but we have our meditative moments ... as the roll call of former graduates reveals, many aspire to service . . . and their motivation began here in high school. Relaxation Artistic Endeavor Memorable Moments Remember that project you got an A for? Remem- ber the day your team won the game? Remember how hard we studied for those algebra and history tests? Daily routine--those endless bus rides--but memorable moments are easily recalled, and probably never will fade away completely. ADMINISTRA TION Events of the year, such as Viet Nam, the election of Johnson over Goldwater, and the space-race, are illu- minated by historical study. With World War II experience, Mr. Rader readily adds prevalent facts that aid in the understanding of the role portrayed by the U.S. in our Atomic Age. Energy, endurance, and enigmatic poise, three requisites of a teacher, are all descriptive of Mr. Rader. Though he never gets his desk clear, he is always working over-time. His quiet smile never fades even when students come to question their grades. He listens, but promises nothing. Applause and Appreciation for Mr. Jack Rader Thank you, Mr. Rader, has become almost a password in the halls of Glen Lake High. Someone is always thanking him for some service! Now, however, a big thank you to a great teacher and friend is expressed by all students. He has been with our school since it began, and he knows the region well. Favorite Pastimes ♦ Reminding students of their citizenship duties. Golfing anytime Prodding the lazy seniors Bird- watching Telling a funny story Skiing Running the Trading Post at Glen Arbor Where will I get financial assistance for college? How do I get a college application? What college will be best for my line of study? What about special training programs? Where can I find a job? These questions and many more can all be answered by our man with the answers, Mr. Rader. He gives his time for consultation to any and all students. 7 Teachers Enjoy Equipment The latest calculator and computer machines are examined with interest by teachers of communica- tion arts, Mrs. Barrett, Mr. Rader, and Mr. Sachtle- ben. New in music this year was the teacher, Mr. Henderson. Mrs. Nowicki, art specialist, keeps right on filling in as chief pianist whenever needed. Mr. Garthe, Mrs. Barr, and Mr. Burfiend, have an eye on everything from the vantage point of new folding doors for the cafe-study- hall area. Deep in discussion at the blackboard are Mr. Kelly, new Jr. High English teacher and Mr. Case. 8 Newest in and Aids Checking into the most recent additions to the industrial aits program, Mr. Patch demonstrates a spot welder to Coach Milks, Mr. Bolton and Mr. Moore. A second electronics course, more math, and greater variety in shop classes adds greatly to the program this year. One of the most popular of the newest machines is the overhead projector. Mrs. House and Miss Brammer make plans to share the time needed with Mrs. Groesser, librarian and custodian of all audio-visual materials. Mrs. House is especially pleased with the results of this type of projector in large rooms such as the Home Arts. 9 Faculty Line-up MURIEL BARR MARJORIE (Girl's Phys.

Every summer they clean, polish, and repair the furniture and floors, getting the place ready for the fall comeback. In the winter months, the intricate gauges on the boiler keep Mr. Delong busy; whereas, Mr. Laskey takes pride in his shiny floors. Below, he supervises as Anne Marie Mikow- ski cleans up the mess she made. Mrs. Violet Stachnik, Mrs. Josie Stach- nik, and Mrs. Effie Manning are the greatest cooks in the world, come Bar-B-Cue Day! Everyone's favorite menu includes: Juicy Bar-B-Cues, dill pickles, chips, corn, and milk. Who could ask for more? 12 ORGANIZA TIONS Band Practices for Perfection Under the direction of a new teacher, Mr. Jack Henderson, the band practices for the annual spring concert held in May.

Enthusiastic Members Support Varsity and Pep Clubs The Pep Club, the largest Glen Lake has ever had, is known for its avid support of the basket- ball and football teams. One of the accomplish- ments of the Pep Club was to donate money to aid in the payment of the newly installed school intercom system. The newly organized Varsity Club is made up of boys who have received a let- ter for participation in a school sport. The advisor for this club is Mr. Milks, basketball coach. Pep Club Officers, (L. to R.) Jackie Laskey, Vice President; Donna Rowell, President; and Phil Deering, Secretary-Treasurer; meet to discuss club member- ships and business.

The Varsity, J.V., and Junior High cheer- leaders meet with their advisor, Mrs. Wolf, for a practicing session to try out new cheers. Vim, Vigor, and Vitality With their anchors and Glen Lake letters, the cheerleaders need only to add their bright smiles to make their uniforms complete. Under the di- rection of their new leader Mrs. Wolf, the cheer- leaders tried out many new cheers, such as the 'Battle Cry,' with favorable results. Our cheer- leaders found that hard work, determination, and practice are the three basic qualities of a good cheerleader. The Lively J.V. squad, (L. to R.) Barbara Gauthier, Diane Harriger, Marian Wames, Pat Mikses, and Betty Flaska, lead side line cheers as the game is about to begin. Junior High cheerleaders find that cheering involves work and practice in order to do things just right. They find, too, that cheering can be great fun. (L. to R. FRONT ROW) Marilyn Nor- conk, Joanne Mikowski, (BACK ROW) Sara Huey, Angie Wames, and Jackie Norconk. Class Representatives Serve School A vital part of any school is its form of government.

Assisting at the initiation were Leelanau School members of the National Honor Society, along with headmaster, Mr. Charles Shinn who helped offici- ate. Friends and relatives of the newly installed mem- bers were guests for the event on the evening of May 13. Students chosen were selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character and service. In order to qualify, each student must achieve 85% or better scholastic average.

Time and again they proved to be a tough team to come up against. Although they may lack height, they never lacked might or the drive that it takes to make a team great. The excellent coaching of Herb Milks succeeded in winning many a close game.

Our Team Is on the Ball” The Lakers beam with pride after a great victory over Elk Rapids to win the District C Champion- ship. Jumping, rebounding, and accurate shooting along with teamwork and good sportsmanship are basic essentials in the making of an outstanding team. 29 JV’s Score Again Recognition must be given to the fine job of basketball playing that the Junior Varsity team did this past season. The boys ended up with an undefeated record in conference play. Mr. Patchkowski in this first coaching season at Glen Lake has done a commendable job with the players by teaching them all the fine points that have made them a renowned team. KNEELING L. to R.

The afternoon was brisk—perfect weather for a hardy football game and the enthusiastic crowd added to the excitement. Miss Arlene Flees of Maple City, a Senior, reigned as Homecoming Queen. Arlene's escort for the activities of the day was Dennis Richardson of Glen Arbor. All the students faithfully stood behind our team throughout the game. Even though we lost to Mesick, our boys did their best and put up a good fight. Everyone also had a gay time at the dance, held at the school that same evening, to wind up the eventful day for Glen Lake High School. 34 Arlene Flees 1964 Homecoming Queen Raymond Wames, Captain of the foot- ball team, crowns Queen Arlene during halftime festivities. The Queen and her lovely court of honor: (L. to R.), Sophomore, Joyce McMillian; Senior, Linda Keller; Queen Arlene Flees; Junior, Donna Persik; Freshman, Cecelia McElroy. After a hard fought game, our football heroes head back to the school to get ready for a big evening of fun and dancing. An exciting battle all the way they said.—Although the Lakers put up a hard struggle to win the game, Mesick finally won by a score of 7-0. 35 Teeners Give Party for Tiny Tots During the Child Care Unit of the Family Living Class, taught by Mrs. House, the senior girls gave a Christmas Party for pre-schoolers. Each girl in the class was assigned to make a something out of nothing creative toy to give to her guest. The decorations and refreshments were also prepared by the senior girls. Everyone had a grand time, even Old Saint Nick, who was played by Mr. Sweeny. The children enjoyed refreshments of cookies, milk, and ice-cream. The tots enjoyed the hand created decorations that graced the Christmas Tree. Santa's visit brought the party to its peak. Each child eagerly awaited his turn to receive a gift from Santa. Watching the children play was as much fun for the girls and Mrs. House as it was for the tots. 36 Assembly Days Bring Joy John Peppier casts his vote in the mock presi- dential election as Jan Skipski checks ballots . . . Mr. Patch leads a hootenanny session . . . An expert gymnast and trampoline performer enter- tains with the aid of student volunteers ... A surprise farewell party for Mrs. Jan Wolf is a memorable event . . . These are some of the assembly highlights of the year. Not pictured was the gala G. M. science show and many lively pep rallies. 37 Science Fair Spectacular KH EfrfRIMim IK UI1SCLI rilYSlHi v Ed Waslawski, who capped first prize in the Senior Division, explains the hows and whys of his project, An Experiment In Muscle Physiology. Harry Norconk proudly displays his science fair project, which won 2nd place in the Senior Division and also won him honors in regional and State Industrial Arts com- petition. 38 Success Again This Year Success of this year's Science Fair was due to the tremendous assistance Mr. Bolton gave to the participat- ing students. The Science Fair provides students with the opportu- nity to show their capabilities in the field of science. Quoting Mr. Bolton on this year's fair, Science projects are successful when 'started early'. Perhaps this is his theme for next year's Science Club? Mr. Bolton congratulates a promising young science enthusiast, John Miller, who won first prize in the Junior Division. This was John's first Science Fair entry. Gary Hohnke displays his project for which he won honorable mention at Glen Lake. In the background are numerous other projects that were entered in the fair. Winning honorable mention in the Senior Division for his project, The Mass of Electrons, was Ray Wames, posing in the picture below. 39 Music by the Rainmakers was irresistable and the dance floor was crowded with not only students (left) but the faculty as well, as shown with Mr. and Mrs. Sweeny (above). If you couldn't dance the watusi you could at least watch as Mr. Barr, our new superintendent, Miss Brammer her escort, Mr. Bob Byerly, and Mrs. Jack Rader are doing, (top). 40 Planning and hard work was needed to make the Prom the success it was. Members of the various Prom commit- tees and their dates are (L. to R.); Janet Deering and Don Bloswick; Myrtle Kirt and Lloyd Gauthier; Cecelia McElroy and Chuck Payment, President of the Junior Class; Linda Peppier and Jim Dorsey; Pat Mikses and Steve Davis. Colorful Junior-Senior Prom Scores Big Students weren't the only ones who enjoyed the Prom, but also the grownups, as can be plainly seen in this picture featuring Mrs. Vivian Finch and Mrs. William Peppier. The new Park Place Inn was the scene of Festivities. 41 Everyday Activities Count Too! Activities Hour every day (8:40--9:30) means a special time for many things--a chance for girl athletes to use the gym--a quiet study time--opportunity for an extra math class--band practice--class meetings, Science Club, a handicraft class or a news- paper conference. It is always a good time for picture taking too! 42 CL ASSES Growth and Expansion CLASS OFFICERS: (L.

Rest of their bones and souls' delivery! Thou'rt slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well.

HAROLD DEVETTE, AGENCY General Insurance CAstle 8-5422 Cedar, Michigan DEPART TO SERVE As the seniors wave good-bye and another yearbook goes to the printer, we the staff members of the Laker have mixed feelings of joy and sadness. We are glad the work is over and sincerely hope our efforts prove worthwhile. We are sad, though, to bid farewell to so many good friends. In compiling this somewhat incom- plete history of the school year, we are indebted to everyone who contributed in any way. Without the support and cooperation of many helpers, the Laker would never be published. We especially wish to thank Mrs. Barrett, our enthusiastic adviser who prodded us through every dead-line. Our thanks go also to Mr. Baldwin of the Baldwin Photo Studios of Traverse City. Our non-professional, but ever willing staff photographers, John McMillian and Mike Deegan, deserve a special pat on the back too! As any camera addict knows, the best pictures are the ones which were missed. We should have had a pic- ture of Mr. Bolton doing the Watusi at the Jr-Sr. Prom, or Ray Warnes making that last basket to chalk up his spectacular record, or Ed Kirt, Diana Harriger and Nancy Miller taking off on their first airplane ride, or Dave Finch hitting the floor during the graduation rehearsal. We regret we didn't get candid shots of noon- hour dancing, or the driving program trainees in action, or an early morning bus un-loading when the snow was really deep. But that leaves something for the staff to aim for next year! Sincere ly, Yours
