The vocabulary of teenagers sees changes from one year to the next. Some words that have been heard in the hallways are mod,” babe, ' ’ cool,” gross,” heavy,” far-out,” truckin ' ” and dynamite.” Weekend activities have always included sporting events, but in the 60’s a Friday or Saturday night wouldn’t have been complete without a drive through Blue Top. Now you find many people from LC at Stardust or the Lure. It is still said by some though, that a few students drop in at Blue Top once in a while. Students have listened to the music of the Beatles, the Monkees, the Doors, the Beach Boys, Chicago, Led Zeppelin and Elton John. Dancing has always been a favorite, with dances ranging from the Funky Chicken” to the Bump.” Every year students looked forward to basically the same things; homecoming, football, basketball, prom and graduation. It ' s the way that the students of each year went about them that made each happening separate and distinct. Whenever anyone thinks of their high school days they’ll all remember different things. Maybe it’ll be that close win over a conference rival or how hard they worked in theatre. It could be about how much effort they put into a class sponsored project or practicing out on the parking lot so the NISBOVA show would be perfect. Perhaps they’ll think of the work they had to do to get a good grade. How did you spend your years at Lake Central? Did you come just because you had to or did you make the most out of everything that was offered? Did you leave your mark in the pages of Lake Central’s history or did you let yourself fade into the crowd? It’s been a memorable ten years; so much has happened, more than four pages could possibly hold. It took many people all doing whatever they did best to make these past ten years everything that they’ve been. May the future hold even more for Lake Central. Many different things have gone on in¬ side this school and thousands of stu¬ dents have gone through its doors. It ' s been an eventful ten years; what ' ll the next ten bring? After Lake Central’s only sectional championship in 1970 players Dave Smith (70)—left, and Tim Anderson (71)—right threw victorious coach Tom Peyton in the showers Gilbert Morales (73) and Ron Croner (73) had their own ideas on how one should go about a wheelbarrel race at the 1972 Lettermen’s Turkey Trot.

St. John’s Bicentennial celebration consisted of the Parade of Flags; this special parade began in Florida and worked it’s way up north along U.S. Route 41. The birth of our country was also commemorated with a large town picnic, costume parades and dances. The history of St. John was also observed. The St. John Women’s Club distributed postcards picturing the first church in St. John. The town’s history goes back to 1837 with the arrival of John Hack to Lake County’s Prairie West Section. What was once the Prairie West Section is now thickly covered with the homes of the German settlers who have spread out from the Hack center in town. In 1838, four other German families came and settled near the Hack family. In 1843, on the Hack land, was erected the church of St. John the Evangelist. This was the first Catholic church in the county and regular religious services were held there. The original church now faces U.S. Route 41 with a restored exterior. The structure sits on the church grounds of St. John the Evangelist parish, about one half mile north¬ west of its original site. Own
