Variety Characterizes Leisure Activities Throughout America, youth responded to the tempo of the times and became more than “just students”. Taking an active interest in almost everything, youths leisure time activities exerted an influence felt in our economy, our government, our entertainment. While other American youth campaigned in the 1968 presidential elections, or demonstrated for campus control. Lake Central CYO members spent time and energy in converting an old farm house to the township’s first coffeehouse. Com¬ panionship, music, and good conversation made it the place to gather on week¬ ends. Volunteer work in hospitals and civic groups consumed spare moments as well, but there was still always some time for “fun” activities. Music, painting, animals, and every other conceivable recreation was enjoyed by LC students. Painting as a profession is a thought for Senior Joe Brignoni, whose talent won many awards this year. Horses dominate Marcia Caldwell’s leisure time. She and Satin, her running quarter horse, practice for the county ' fair. 13

LC Thespians Triumph in ‘Tom Jones’, ‘Music Man’ Bob Baker, as Professor Harold Hill, the irrepressible “Music Man”, convinces River City Iowans “Ya got trouble, my friends!” Lake Central’s theater guild be¬ came more and more an integral facet of the school. Having “a part in the play” was announced with pride after being singled out from literally an auditorium full of people. With this newly-generated enthusi¬ asm, increasingly challenging per¬ formances were accomplished with gratifying success. “Tom Jones”, a comedy, opened the season with Miss Sarah Regan directing for the first time at Lake Central. Welcome laugh¬ ter from a near-full house rewarded the hard-working cast and paved the way for the spring musical. Meredith Wilson’s superb “Music Man” was chosen by Mr. Paul Lowe for the school’s second successful musical attempt. Each of the six pres¬ entations were met with thunderous applause and repeated standing ova¬ tions, and helped cement even further the practice of an annual musical at Lake Central. Early rehearsals of “Music Man” were not always on key, as Mr. Doug Jordan’s wry face illustrates.
