Blaming new trails A new school seemed evident for the rapidly expanding St. John township in the spring of 1965. In August of 1966, the new school, named Lake Central by vote of the student body and the school board, was almost com¬ plete. Library books, filing cabinets, and other school equipment were moved to make way for the junior high, which now occupies old Dyer Central. New Lake Central would house their own educational television open ci rcuit studio, the first school in the Midwest to do so. Once more, the latest educational facilities were being made available to its 1,130 students. On September 6, 1966 the doors to the immense senior high building were opened to students. We, as Centralites, are proud to have rendered new traditions in a new atmosphere. It is our hope that future generations of Lake Central students will continue to blaze new trails.

Lake Centralites pacing amidst a whirl of activity Lake Central provided much more than just an educa¬ tional institution during its first year of inhabitance. Stu¬ dents filled the unused halls with bursting excitement and concerned thought. They attended all-school assemblies, some serious and some humorous, contributed to home¬ coming activities, and danced to the throbbing popular tunes of 1967. Caught in an explosive world of school activities, fact- crammed brains, and provoking thought questions. Lake Central teens took time to pay tribute to the three Ameri¬ can astronauts killed in an Apollo test mission. Setting a vibrating new pace, students accepted challeng¬ ing situations in their near adult world, enabling them to become leaders of tomorrow. Whatever goals a Centralite wished to reach. Lake Central gave him the opportunity. 5
