TV department lends way to communication Noontime finds Kathy Krizman and Cindi Potts sharing the latest line of jokes. Schrieks of laughter and easy-going chatter fill the foyer during lunch hours. Communication with the outside world and with other students is es¬ sential for every high school student. Lake Central students had a special advantage,—a new television station. The station provided a means of communicating with the people in the vicinity. Centralites broadcasting news reports were familiarized with television procedures. Interviews with other schools gave students a chance to exchange ideas and examine pro¬ cedures of fellow Calumet region youths. Communication also played a part in internal Lake Central school life. English reports, speeches and theatrical performances created anxie¬ ties for many Centralites, but each experience in expressing oneself had a strengthening effect. When walking through the halls of LC, one could see many expres¬ sions. Chemistry lab students dis¬ played expressions of surprise, de¬ light, puzzlement and dismay. English students spent frenzied moments on grammatical corrections, vocabulary tests and term papers. Communica¬ tion was vital in an LC school day.

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.
