I874 + 4 1949 jkrougk fAe Mara Still the flamboyant gay spirit of youth persisted. There was a Senior Drama, until 1936 each year saw the production of some well-known opera or operetta under the direction of Mrs. Dora Smith, and old annuals are filled with pages containing exciting notes of Gilbert and Sullivan productions, Romberg's My Maryland, and Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. There was a thriving Boys' Glee Club, a Tennis Club, and, spasmodically, a course in fencing. . Enrollment reached its peak of well over 4,800. Lake View was graduating mid- year classes of three hundred or more, and June classes that neared the six hundred mark. For a short time, another branch, Audubon, was opened. In an effort to keep personality important under the burden of such large numbers, the Personnel Depart- ment was organized, by which child, home, and school were brought closer together. Only complete co-operation kept the school running on an even keel during those troubled days, and no man deserves greater tribute for having this spirit of loyalty than Mr. G. Dana Henderson, assistant-principal from T929 to 1946. Quiet, yet firm, solicitous, yet strict, he had the admiration and respect of teachers and students alike. One of the finest figures in our schooI's history, Mr. Henderson, deserves an honored place in the annals of Lake View's memory. In 1939 the apartment buildings at the south end of the school were torn down, and another large addition was erected. This contained the girls' gymnasiums and a modern, airy cafeteria. The latter, situated in the basement, will be remembered with pleasure by the students who used to trudge wearily to the fourth fioor for lunch. Soon after these improvements were made, the country entered into another World War. Once more, students responded to the nation-wide appeal for aid, sell- ing stamps and bonds until enough money was raised to pay for an airplane to be used in hospital work. A bronze plaque representing the flag being raised over Iwo Jima stands near the office in commemoration of this achievement. It was largely through Mr. Winter that such interest in school activities was kept up so constantly. He took an active part in student government, athletics, and scholar- ship. A prominent figure in the field of education, his services were sought by youth clubs and school organizations throughout the city. He loved all boys and girls, and had implicit faith in the ability of young people to fashion a better world in which to live. It was this philosophy that led him to take up the motto Today We Train, For We Must Have Lasting Peace during the recent war. His death in March, I948, was mourned by young people all over Chicago, but most especially by the students of Lake View, who became better individuals under the influence of his quiet life. To Mr. I. P. Daniel, our assistant-principal, we owe a debt of gratitude, for it was he that guided us through the sad, unsettled month that followed. On May 3, I9-48, we welcomed our present principal, Mr. J. Trimble Boyd. An active and successful educator in the Chicago School System for thirty-two years, he is certain to carry on the splendid tradition of Lake View's continued improvement handed down from prin- cipal to principal throughout our history. Already he has instituted several changes calculated to better the school and help the student. Outstanding among these are, of course, the National Honor Society which he inaugurated here in the fall of l948, and the new form of student government. May you have continued success and many happy years at Lake View, Mr. Boyd! I. NEW ADDITION, 1939 4. THE LAST LAMP LIGHT 2. MR. OLICE WINTER, PRINCIPAL, 1930-i948 5.
