‘Blue Power’ rouses Lake’s spirit Quiet thoughts go floating down and settle softly to the ground, like golden autumn leaves around my feet. I touch them, and they hurst apart with sweet Memories. Blue Power” originated with The Big Blue Machine” during football season, and this Indian battle cry grew stronger as the year progressed. Inspirational slogan buttons were sold by the senior class and displayed by victory bound Centralites. The class of ’74 wore bright blue buttons that declared I’m an LC freshman” during Home¬ coming Spirit Week. Choruses of The Fighting Spirit” echoed as seniors exercised their privilege of testing frosh knowledge of the school song. Homecoming was enhanced by poster covered hallways, an exuberant pep rally, the longest parade in LC history and the presentation of two awards. The Spirit Stick was given to the sophomores for the decoration of their hall. General class enthusiasm and participation in Homecoming events won the first Tomahawk for the Seniors. “Blue Power” fever, delayed frosh initiation and lively Homecoming festivities revealed to LCHS’ers that a memory filled year had begun. Seniors Diane Horvatich, Sally Hilbrich and Carol Niebling show Ricky Fagen how to wear his freshman button. Mr. Letterman Jerry Craven is supported by his fellow lettermen as he leads them in a Blue Power yell.

pages of your mind Memories pressed between the pages of your mind. Memories sweetened through the ages just like wine . A dried rosebud within the pages of an album arouses certain thoughts for the one who pressed it there. Like the wilted flower, outstanding memories are preserved between the pages of ev¬ eryday happenings. These remembrances are not forgotten, instead they grow to a more tender, fuller meaning through the passing years for all who hold them. Remembrances bloomed from participation in the many facets of Centralite life. Some were content to remain only a face in the crowded hallways while others desired to achieve greater invol¬ vement. Scholars, athletes, performers and con¬ cerned organization members distinguished them¬ selves within the jammed corridors to lead the maze of activity. Receiving scholastic honors, capturing a con¬ ference title, marching at a professional football game, producing a large cast musical, winning a cheering award or coordinating club action were standards to work for and accomplish. In this way, each individual contributed to Lake Cen¬ tral. As Centralites endeavored to attain their goals in areas of academics, sports, activities and clubs, each person gained knowledge and experiences to recall. The page may yellow with age and the rose may crumble to dust, but memories will never die. problems: the Vietnam War, the welfare dilemma and the rising tension between Negroes and Whites. Lake’s narrow stairways confront Indians with numerous frustrating difficulties, during each class change.
