1874 + 4 1949 jlwouglr file ward lf Lake View had a hall of fame, Mr. Brown would occupy a prominent niche. lt was he that made the name of Lake View known from coast to coast. His magnetic personality endeared him to the students and faculty alike. He played an important part in the formation of the students' character, for, under his influence, the observ- ance of the motto, PLAY FAIR-FAIR PLAY was woven into their lives. He constantly strove to improve the school. Under his guidance several large additions were an- nexed to the school, beautiful murals, stained glass panels, and paintings appeared, the first baby LAKE re VIEW was published, and the local Lake View Honor Society was founded. The R.O.T.C. was organized under the able direction of Sergeant Lee, who began an illustrious career that ultimately gave Lake View one of the finest corps in the United States. The Lake View Commission appeared on the scene, and that most treasured of Lake View traditions, Cotton or Gingham Day, was first orig- inated. The school drew students from all over the city forcing the enrollment up by leaps and bounds, until it reached about 3,500. Members of the faculty numbered more than one hundred, and a number of new courses were added. ln 1916 the old two-story building, which stood on the corner of Ashland and Irving Park, was razed. A new four-story section, containing the present assembly hall, was constructed. At this same time there was added to the north end another large section which the boys' gymnasium now occupies. This still could not accommo- date all the pupils, and, in February of 1919, the first of Lake View's branches, Greeley, which had been discontinued as a grammar school, was opened. The First World War occurred at this time, and students quickly responded to the call with bonds. However, neither wars nor crowded conditions seemed to be able to slow down the influx of students, which soon required the opening of two more branches, Hamilton, and Ravenswood. Part of this wonderful growth was due, of course, to the energetic spirit of the times, but much of it came through the man at the school's head. Mr. B. Frank Brown had that rare gift-an understanding heart. He helped the students to know not only themselves, but each other as well. His favorite maxim, Let me live in my house by the side of the road, and be a friend to man, expresses that feeling of kindliness which still lives in the heart of the school, even though his untimely death in 1924 terminated his brilliant career. Mr. Perrine followed him, remaining at the helm of Lake View from 1924 to 1930, during a hectic era when an unhappy world watched the turbulent rise and fall of money values. A capable executive, he encouraged high standards in all the many phases of worthwhile school activities. While he was principal the Parent-Teacher Association was established, and the course book replaced the old report card. lt was then, also, that one of the few sad episodes in Lake View history took place. From the time of the school's beginning one of its greatest sources of pleasure and beauty was the quiet serene loveliness of several fine old willow trees surrounding it. In 1929, when Ashland Avenue was widened, all of these trees had to be ruthlessly dragged from the ground as obstructions in the path of Progress. So it was that one more delightful part of early Lake View was forced to become iust a sweet memory. At the end of five years Mr. Perrine was transferred to Medill High School, and was followed in office by the man whose quiet dignity is still fresh in many memories, Mr. Olice Winter. Mr. Winter inaugurated his regime when scarcely a day passed that the papers did not relate the deaths of one or more business men through open office windows, bread lines stretched endlessly, and on practically every door hung the depressing sign, NO HELP WANTED. 1.
