Student ideas sway toward summer fun If one would have peered through the threshold of Lake Central High School in 1967, he could have watched the steady progress of the student body. Autumn brought the meeting of new friends, becoming accustomed to class schedules, and forgetting summer fun for another school sea¬ son. Homecoming events, followed by Thanksgiving came and went. Then the long-awaited Christmas vacation arrived. Students were revived, the slumps and resolutions for 1968 were put into effect. The winter months between Christmas and Easter vaca¬ tions already evoked thoughts of another summer of fun, graduation, work and the completion of another year. However, basketball sectionals and the production of “Bye Bye, Birdie” helped to break the spell. Special assemblies, such as the blind gymnast, Eddie Motter and Honor Society induction were also welcomed. In May, the air was full of ap¬ prehension. The underclassmen had matured to accept their responsibili¬ ties and looked forward to future events. Seniors pondered over jobs, credits and commencement. They welcomed, yet feared the unknown ahead of them.

Congenial Centralites generate enthusiasm Spirit is . . . Cheering for your team, whether winning or losing. Belonging to Pep Club. A crowded fieldhouse during a basketball game. The Christmas toy drive. The school song. An energetic band. Enthusiastic cheerleaders. Cheering for the football team in frigid weather. Basketball sectionals. Participating in school events. Happiness. Cheerleaders symbolize spirit, but spirit cannot exist without sup¬ port from the student body. Participa¬ tion in school-centered activities helps to generate a feeling of loyalty and pride for ones school. Spirit means being active in clubs, teams and organizations. They have little meaning when there is a lack of support. Much enjoyment and security can be derived when one supports his club or team, because one is then supporting his school and community. Lake Central students felt more like a part of the school when they attended games and meets and re¬ leased their pent-up energy. They ex¬ pressed their feelings through enthu¬ siastic yells and encouragements for the team. A feeling of unity was shared by the Centralites. Spirit gave them the drive to tackle new prob¬ lems and develop better results. L i .
