Lake Central’s energetic youth Being an LC student involves much preparation, time and energy. From the moment one’s alarm clock goes off in the early morning, until the final hells ring at 2:15, there are con¬ stant thoughts flashing through each student’s mind. A few of these thoughts concern clothes, homework, tests and activities. The new school day tended to insure that all students were in l)ed early for a 6 a.m. arrisal. Getting ready for school in the morning is about the hardest task a teen can accomplish. Wait¬ ing out in the brisk cold to catch a school bus was sure to awaken anyone. Once LCHS’ers are seated in their first hour seats, books are opened and studies begin. Scrambling through folders to find due assignments and finally realizing they were left at home can greatly disappoint a student. Tension over¬ comes students who begin last minute preparation for tests. Study halls allow students to sneak in a few lost minutes of sleep or complete homework-assignments. This one hour boost gives Indians more leisure time for activities. Personal pleasures vary with each student. Holding hands as couples walk to class, cracking a smile to a friend and receiving one in return fills a heart with warmth. Stopping between classes to chat with friends is a routine practiced daily by the youth at LC. A favorite noon hour pastime was stopping to watch construction progress on the new ' wing or fighting the mad rash for cold drinks, candy and ice cream at the Coke Bar. Being a part of todays establishment is giving of oneself as you have never l)efore thought possible. Freshman Danny Niloff, finding nothing better to do, sneaks in a few lost min utes of sleep while sitting in study hall. 6

Soldier Field Lake Central’s marching Indians, under the direction of Mr. Douglas Jordan, highlighted their year by performing pre¬ game and halftime shows for the Chicago Bear—Washington Redskin game at Soldier Field. “Cornin’ Home Baby,” “Star Spangled Banner,’’ “Your Nobody Till Somebody Loves You,” “With a Little More Lovin,” “Motherless Child” and “Love for Sale” were the songs played at this game. The band also marched at six parades in surrounding com¬ munities, even traveling as far as LaPorte for the Fourth of July parade. Bandsmen displayed their skills in two demonstration performances and the NISBOVA contest at Fort Wayne, where they received a first division rating. Songs played there in¬ cluded most of those from the Bears game plus a couple others which were “Almost Like Being in Love” and “Love is a Many Splendored Thing.” After the band’s marching season ended, they divided into a concert band and a symphonic band. In February the bands gave their annual winter concert. Mr. Douglas Jordan, carrying his bullhorn and a pair of majorette pom-poms, proudly looks ahead at his hard-working band.
