Congratulations ! THREE OF LAKE VIEW FACULTY RECEIVE PROMOTIONS TO PRINCIPALSHIPS, MAY '48 Mrs. Marjorie F. Mills - Mr. Iohn H. Beckerman - Mr. William E. Block Mrs. Marjorie F. Mills has taught Home Economics and General Science at Lake View since 1932. After extensive study in the fields of psychology and guidance at Northwestern University, where she received her Master's degree, Mrs. Mills became counselor for younger students at Lake View. From the time of her first assignment in 1930 to the Cregier Iunior High School, she has progressively reached for higher service goals. Although we regret to have her leave Lake View, we realize how well she deserves promotion to the principalship of Reilly Elementary School, 3650 W. School Street. Mr. Iohn H. Beckerman, our beloved 4B Sponsor, and acting assistant principal, has been promoted to be principal of the Ebinger Elementary School, 7350 Pratt Avenue in the Edison Park District. Mr. Beckerman was Sponsor of the Senate and in charge of Office Practice in the Main Office. He has been a popular teacher of Civics and History for twelve years at Lake View. Mr. Beckerman, an accomplished musician, is the first flutist in the Business Men's Symphony of Chicago. Mr. Beckerman served in the Navy for two years. He has a very modest and kindly nature and his only boast is about his lovely family of two girls and a boy. Our well liked Science and Mathematics teacher, Mr. VVilliam E. Block was assigned in the Chicago Schools in 1938. He is a native Chicagoang a graduate of Senn High School, 1930. Mr. Block received his B.S. degree frcm Northwestern University at the age of twenty, later receiving his Master's degree in Education at the University of Chicago in 1946. Dur- ing the six years that Mr. Block has taught at Lake View he has made many friends, none of whom appreciate him more than the Staff of the Red and White. Mr. Block has been Busi- ness Sponsor for the Annual for the past two years. Now he has been promoted to the Prin- cipalship of the Waters Elementary School, Campbell and Wilson Avenues. PROMOTED Mr. I. P. Alvir, our Spanish and History teacher, is leaving Lake View to direct the work of the Board of Education Veteran Testing Department. This is an all-year job for which Mr. Alvir is well qualified. Mr. Alvir was sponsor of the Clean-Up Committee and his tire- less efforts in the Mopping Man Contest brought it success. We hope Mr. Alvir will some- day return to Lake View. Miss M. Ruth Krause, Lake View's much appreciated teacher of Foods since 1944, has been promoted to be Supervisor of Home Economics, May, 1948. Miss Krause is well pre- pared for this position as she has taught Household Arts in the elementary, junior high, and senior high schools of Chicago.

In Memoriam jlltlarp Margaret Brown Lake View mourns the death of Mrs. Mary Margaret Brown on April ll, 1948. Mrs. Brown served as our Registrar for sev- eral years. She won a place in the hearts of all who worked with her and she was well liked by the students whom she served. Mrs. Brown will be greatly missed by all at Lake View High School. In Memoriam Margaret jf. Martin Any written tribute to the late Margaret F. Martin, our beloved teacher of Home Economics at the Greeley Branch for many years, is inadequate. The real tribute to her memory lies within the hearts of her friends, students and co-workers. Because of her kindliness, wit, sympathy, and understanding, she was a friend to all and the memory of her pleasant ways is fondly cherished. 12

That Diplomatic Touch memes, 2 Mr. Harry C. McKinzie, District Superintendent: Miss Marie LaFrenier Secretary: Patricia Kova: Marilyn Blomqren. Mr. Harry C. McKinsie. our high school superintendent of district number two, maintains his office in Lake View. All the schools of this area are under Mr. McKinsie's direction. Lake View regards him as a true friend and is proud to have him among its administrators. This able school-man sets a worthy example to all our young people for he worked his way through the University of Indiana by teaching there dur- ing the summer sessions. His chief leisure time hobby is the making of electrical gadgets. Mr. Mc- Kinsie enjoys music and art though he can't see eye to eye with so-called modern art. His pleasant, relaxed manner makes for popularity with both students and faculty. 14
