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.

Activities Homecoming, assemblies, games, dances, plays, these are a part of the times, challenging times. Each year they become a challenge. Students strive to make these activities en¬ thusiastically accepted by the school. These activities mean something dif¬ ferent to each student. Each individ¬ ual keeps with the beat of activities provided by the school and communi¬ ty to find some meaning for his own enrichment. Students identified them¬ selves as scholars, dramatists, athletes, and orators through their involvement in extra-curricular activities. All too quickly, these activities are pushed into isolated corners of our minds where they soon become nothing more than treasured memories repre¬ senting the joys of youth. For the first time in its history, Lake Central was host for a Basket¬ ball Homecoming. The homecoming activities were sponsored by the Stu¬ dent Council, which consisted of Spirit Week, the basketball game, and a post game dance. These activities are not confined to the classrooms or athletic fields. The tempo goes on; building homecoming floats in barns and garages, meeting at Blue Top for after game festivities, and going to the coffee house for talk and relaxation. Lake Central and the community have contributed to all of these pleasant times. 17
