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 .

Classic penny loafers, T-strap shoes with “chunky” heels and laced-up flats accent every girl’s wardrobe this year. Even an occasional pair of saddle shoes were seen in the halls. Boys also wore the basic loafers in brown, black and cordovan tones. Individualists became conformists in the fashion world this year as way-out patterns and designs be¬ came realities. Crocheted stockings of window pane checks and vertical stripes accomodated girls wearing mini skirts. Hardware was also a distinguish¬ ing feature for guys and gals. Chains and buckles adorned shoes, sweaters. purses and watches. Colors went hold and wild, making classrooms look alive. The language of the young gen¬ eration also passed through many fads. “Babe,” “gross,” “soul” and “nice” became a part of every teen¬ ager’s vocabulary. LC’s students gave the 1967-68 school year a distinctive twist by set¬ ting a fast and different pace to young ideas. Vivacious students no longer sported the conservative look. They dressed as they felt, expressing their feelings with bright and unusual attire. Color combinations, formerly considered “gaudy” took on a new connotation—self expression. “Is it or isn’t it real hair?” Only junior Con¬ nie Knapik knows for sure. Chains and buckles adorn purses in the latest styles. Shoulder bags are popular again this year. Mini bags swinging from shoulder straps or clutch handles also came into appearance.
