Ten Years - What Bid It Bring 9 Besides the Bicentennial, 1976 brings Lake Central’s ten year anniversary. When the doors opened September 6, 1966 probably no one gave any thought to the events that would take place in the years to come Lake Central has seen so much since that first day in 1966. There’s been award winners in everything from athletics to scholastics. New methods in administration and teaching are adopted every year. There’s been an addition to the school and a new one is underway. Perhaps the most noticed changes though, are those in the students themselves. A new school needs a new name; the name Lake Central was voted on by the students and the school board. 1,130 students moved from Dyer Central, presently Kahler, to Lake Central in 1966. Along with all new facilities Lake Central also housed its own open circuit television station; the first school in the Midwest to do so. To erase the memory of Dyer Central, the school newspaper and yearbook changed their names from the Comet and the Echo, to the Scout and Quiver; Mr. Jones and Mrs. Wease wrote a new school song to “Mr. Touchdown.” The first students of LC took pride in starting traditions. Fashion has gone through many changes; up until 1970, students had to abide to a strict dress code. If a teacher thought a girl’s skirt was too short she was asked to kneei on the floor and if her skirt didn’t touch the ground she was sent home. A boy with hair too long was asked to have his hair cut before he returned to school the next morning. Now students are free to do almost anything they please, but complaints are still heard. How far would they have made it if the rules of six years ago were still present? A day without blue jeans might be unbearable for some students. Fred W Jones was Lake Central’s principal from 1966 to 1974 He’s now Director of School Ser¬ vices. This is how Mr. Jones looked before he left Dyer Central for Lake Central. The Class of 1970 had U S. Senator Birch Bayh speak at their commencement. Mary Beth Link (’70) and Mimi Spragia (’70) show some typical clowning around of the late 60s.
