Victory is Only the Cornerstone . Continue Building Upward! The guns no longer blast their destructive fury over God's country. The harsh cry of battle has at last been silenced, once more leaving a grateful world with the opportunity to turn its mighty resources into the channels of eternal peace. Today is entrusted to us the reponsibility of erecting a foundation firm enough to support the peace we and our children will build tomorrow. When mankind has proven to itself that those last full measures of devotion were not given in vain on the battlefields of an indifferent world, one more stride will have been taken toward that age-old dream of an ideal commonwealth - Utopia. Although VICTORY has been accomplished at a great cost and sacrifice, we cannot stand still-but must keep our minds open to the fact that there yet remains the menace of ignorance, which is the basis of barbarism, and must therefore be overcome through the education of those who will captain the world. Knowledge, the key to toler- ance and understanding, is the priceless weapon we of our generation must learn to direct skillfully toward this end, for, by this means alone, may we acquire the Wisdom, not only to determine the right from the unjust, but to remedy those injustices through World cooperation rather than world War. Our school offers us the opportunity of education and character building. Lake View must do its share by sending forth into the World the finest examples of American youth that training and education can produce, for we shall have a vital part in the advance on the road to Utopia.

ll Hail To Thee, Dear Alma Mater Day after day during our four years as we go in and out of this grand old building, how many of us have taken a good look at our school? Oh, yes, we have seen the mighty towers in the sun, rain, and snow for nearly four years, but have we ever really looked past the red brick Walls, the heavy wooden doors, and the majestic towers? Let us now take a look! Behind the schoolis impressive exterior lies a heart of goldi'-a heart that was built of seventy-two years of EDUCATION-years of sharing the store of World knowledge, of instruction intermingled with a feeling for the value of responsibility, cooperation, and respect for the opinion of others. From the rank and file of Lake View's trained citizens, more than twenty-five hundred boys went to ight for Victory. Now the heart of Lake View is engaged in educating boys and girls to be ready to take their places in the World of Peace as CITIZENS OF THE WORLD- Let us look hard and long at our school, Lake Viewites, and know why we have a right to be proud of Lake View.
