Pride LAKERS LAK Pride. It seemed to be one of the major themes at our school , which was enhanced by the positive changes that had been made. Our new Administration emphasized one particular goal for the year- to make everyone proud to be a Laker . They accomplished this by first improving the appearance of the building. A fresh coat of paint covered most of the doors and lockers, while a brand new Pilot Joe was built by the District, and re-painted by Rachael Mattingley, Rachael Perry, Lancer Milam, and Mike Lovelady. Thanks to the Laker Parents Club, the cafeteria received new curtains and a paint job, while the Mew Gym floor was completely refinished and a new seal covered the one previously donated by the class of 1962. With this new look came a new attitude. Students and staff expressed excitement for the 1987-88 school year. We were gearing up for athletic wins and academic goals. But the bottom line was that our confidence in ourselves and the belief that we could achieve any task set before us was the primary aspect of our pride. Thanks to the Laker Parents Club and new Principal Earl Ingle, the Mew Gym was totally redone- including a brand new seal that covered the old one donated by the class of 1962. Senior Erika Lowe expertly passes the soccer ball during summer evening practice. Erika was a member of the Girls Varsity Soccer team which won the honor of first place in the Three Rivers League, along with competing in the State Semi-final Playoffs. 2 Pride

Midi hoelscher teaches her students the art of mirroring someone in mime. Everyone's perceptions of education were slightly different. Some thought it was simply memorizing and repeating facts taught by teachers or reading a book that was supposed to be a classic, or trying to find the value of x . These things are helpful to pass a test and get into a good college, but that isn't all education is. Education came from everyone and everything. It influenced people in positive and negative ways, and helped people develop and interact in society. The sources of an education were many; friends, family, teachers, t.v., books, and music. They all influenced us in different ways. Although it seemed that most courses at this school were designed to make us memorize boring facts, the classes did have a deeper purpose than that. They taught us discipline; something we could use thoughout our lives. It helped us become the people we are now and the people we were then. Education continues even after high school ends. The real world'' is perhaps where most of our education occurs, the kind that no one can teach or prepare us for. (Below) Angie Taylor studies while catching the last rays of the late summer sun. Lara Holman, Krissy Barker, and Deanna Neely discuss life, love, and whatnot while passing time between classes. Education 3
