Grads achieve final goal at LCHS Seniors Jack Webb and Deb by Yablonowski talk over their remembrances from LC and their plans for the future. close my eyes and say a prayer , that in your heart youll find a trace of love still there . . .Somewhere. As the weather grew warmer, Centralites became restless to escape books and the confinement of classrooms. The final school days were counted while part-time jobs, vactions and trips to the beach were anticipated for the summer months. Seniors felt the twinges of leaving throughout the year. Homecoming, semester finals, sectionals and the Prom reminded them that their time at Lake Central was quickly drawing to a close. Graduation ceremonies were conducted on May 27 in the Lake Central Fieldhouse. Mr. Charles Henry, Admissions Director at Purdue University was the guest speaker for Commencement ’71. Seniors thought fondly of the past four years and hesitated to go, but they looked toward the future. Some wished they had been more involved in ac¬ tivities and others regretted their lack of study. Tassels turned and diplomas in hand, the Class of 1971 experienced the severing of last ties with Lake Central. Only the memories would live on. Students are the lifeblood of LCHS. Without them, the classrooms are filled with a lonely, desolute emptiness.
