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

Homecoming Ignites Much Enthusiasm The pressures of school work and other business were temporarily forgotten as students began to anticipate the excitement of Homecoming 1968. Late hours and careful planning marked the preparation for this, the first major event of the school year. Students plunged into activities with an exciting Spirit Week. Streamers festooned the ceilings, and dozens of spirit signs papered the walls, as organizations competed keenly for the spirit stick, a new honor given to the class or club creating the most imaginative display. As the week progressed, spirit grew. Cheering students joined snake dances that wound through crowded halls chanting for an Indian victory. Unwary students found themselves cornered by a ruthless letterman armed with a battered blue can, and “asked” to contribute, every penny in the can being a vote for his class king and queen candidate. Too soon Homecoming Weekend was memories of flames leaping in the crisp October night, a cup of hot chocolate comfort while huddled in crowded stands, and a top-notch band in a sparkling half-time show. For Seniors there was sadness as well, for next year. Home¬ coming would be only something to watch, not partici¬ pate in. Art Club captured first place in the float competition for the second year by constructing this intricate float, “Let’s Pirate a Victory.”
