Lake Central High School - Quiver Yearbook (St. John, IN)

Tempo of Challenging Times Lake Central students, as all youth, move to the quickened pulse of “now”, alive and eager to question and ex¬ plore. Through the whirl of modern life we search, suddenly sobered when faced with examples of poverty, illiteracy, racial hate and prejudice, international cold war—all overshad¬ owed by the grim spectre of ultimate nuclear destruction. This, we sadly realize, is the world we will all too soon inherit. We try to lose ourselves in a protective cloud of gossip, dances, and sports, but admit reluctantly we shall have to accept our challenge: to mold now our youthful desire and enthusiasm to ready ourselves for that inevitable in¬ heritance. No longer are values accepted blindly on our parents’ endorsement. Inquiring minds evaluate with new standards and do not find themselves confined by the same narrow bound¬ aries of unseeing prejudice and blind condemnation of earlier generations. We are today’s youth, separate and unique, moving with the tempo which is the challenge of our times.

Taking a respite from everyday school pressures, students gather for informal conversation and a quick snack at the coke bar.

Lifeblood of the School is the Students It is night and silence commands the vast complex of Lake Central High School, a silence broken only by the soft pad of a German shepherd on patrol. Past endless rows of closed lockers and waiting, empty rooms it walks, the only life in this seemingly dead building. Then in the cool, grey light of early morning, the silent school slowly awakens. Gradually lights flash on, doors swing open, and lockers bang. The students, lifeblood of the school, fill the halls with faces, chattering, laughing, frowning, engrossed with life. These are the faces that transform Lake Central into an almost living thing, and quicken its pulse into the rapid beat of questioning and inquiry. Listening intently to a government lecture, her face reflecting interest, is Senior Judy Domasica. Late hours get the best of Senior Dale Sexton, and he succumbs to a quick forty winks in class. 4
