Lake Central High’s first Homecoming is initiated Spirit and vigor initiated the first Lake Central Home¬ coming with a success that will pave the way for a sparkling school tradition. Festivities were touched off Friday afternoon with a pre¬ game pep session which was concluded with spirit in heart, victory in mind, and a goal in sight. A windy, brisk night headed the parade on it’s route, as the air filled with an aura of homecoming atmosphere. The parade was jammed wuh a display of lavish colors and ideas representing the students own creativity. The half-time performance of the band entertained the capacity crowd that attended the football game. Seniors captured the Y-Teen Yell contest with the same vitality that had led them to win the two previous years. Although the Lake Central Indians slipped to Munster’s Mustangs 13-7, the tight score itself tells the story of the hard fought battle between the two teams. Seniors Norm Shearer and Mardell Vonash climaxed the festivities when crowned King and Queen at the Letter- man’s Club dance on Saturday night, thus bringing a close to the 1966 Homecoming. This little Indian on the Homecoming hoop is “eyeing a victory.” King Norm Shearer and Queen Mardell Vonash smile gratefully as Letterman Erwin Smith hands the Queen her traditional bouquet of roses. To dance or not to dance! This seems to be the major problem confronting Ron Wallis at the Homecoming dance. 18

A ctivities Though many novel ideas have enlivened activities at Lake Central, the traditional has been carried over, mellowing into a vibrating artery of school life. Participating in a revolution of events, seeming to pass all too swiftly. Lake Central students held traditional events in new places and soon found that the spirit of hard work was not left behind. Homecoming, though minus a bonfire, seemed complete from Friday’s parade to Saturday’s dance. The Y-Teens mid-winter formal also proved successful, as did the annual Quill and Scroll Spring Carnival, followed by a lively dance. Honoring the Seniors of 1967, the class of 1968 held the Junior-Senior Prom at the Dorchester Inn, a new and memorable experience for most. We, as Centralites, are proud to have led Lake Central activities into a new era.
