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.

We Honor r. Henderson A familiar face with its imbedded lines of deep concern and solicitude, mollifying eyes Which seem to remove the harshness from the judgments which he must pass, and the stern but equitable manner will no longer be ours to behold and cherish. Mr. G. Dana Henderson, who has been assistant principal for eighteen auspicious years, is now termi- nating his association with the faculty and student body. He attributes his executive ability to the training he acquired at Crane Technical High School, Lewis and Armor Institute, and Northwestern University. His progressive career had its beginning at the Trumbull Grammar School where manual training was his specific phase of teaching. Advancement to instruction in secondary schools took him to Provisio, North Shore, and Austin High Schools. 'February 11, 1922, marked the commencement of Mr. Henderson's teaching at Lake View. The first six years were devoted to regular teaching, administrative work, and later, guidance under the title of Dean of Boys. The completion of his sphere of in- fluence was the office of assistant principal. He received immeasurable enjoyment from his forty-six prosperous years in the Chicago School System. Although many times strict discipline was his duty, he infallibly upheld the respect and admiration of all he encompassed. Our distress became his burden, and his highly com- mendable principles insured us of justice with equity. Mr. Henderson's keen understand- ing of human nature, jovial spirit, and honest character all help to form the fine gentle- men whom we proudly say was our assistant principal. He not only knew how to handle his students, but faculty as well, with his engaging manner. We cannot bid farewell to a man whose personality and principles shall endlessly in- fluence our future lives. They were ours to absorb and understand, and are now pre- cepts to abide by and cherish. To you, Mr. Henderson, we join in one accord to voice our thanks. May your future bring all the contentment and peace which you so richly deserve, and may your reward be great for the outstanding service you have given to the progress of high school teach- ing and administration. From the heart of Lake View, a massed chorus of hundreds who have come under your guidance resound in an acclamation of gratitude, and a physical but never a spiritual farewell. 6
