'lllll Clllllllt What goes on at Lake View from September to June? What changes take place in the school and the students as the school year hurries along? ln September the school is ready to greet those returning, as well as the bewildered freshies, and a feeling of vibrant anticipation fills the atmosphere. The school and the classes seem to have fallen into a routine at last about the time the assemblies begin, the first Lake re View is out, and the division pictures for the Annual are taken. The football season comes and goes, basketball begins, the Winter Concert becomes a fond memory, the Christmas holidays pass, and the first semester ends. lt seems to go so quickly that remembering certain events seems the only way to mark the passage of time. February brings a new routine, a new schedule--the halfway point. Then, slowly, but surely, it happens-it is Spring! One can always tell that this is true by the heady, drowsy atmosphere of a study hall, the number of students strolling outside the building at lunch periods, Clean-Up Week, May Festival rehearsals, and Prom -talk. Suddenly it is over--the school year has passed. Some graduate while others take a respite until Fall, when Lake View will again open upon another September to June phase of her full and colorful life.

DAILY WE Sllllllll 'llll FllLLllW When you are older and you start reminiscing about the year 1950-1951 at Lake View, you will remember that it was a good year. Remember we wanted so badly to win most of the football games, but we did win one-half of them. Remember when we won the School Spirit Trophy over Steinmetz. Remember the Home- coming Game with the lovely queen ancl her attendants. Remember our team of six boys and girls who spoke for democracy on several occasions in the community, and one of them won our sixteen inch TV set in city-wide competition. Remember the beautiful Christmas decorations over the Ashland Avenue entrance that won the admiration of the town. Re- member the Senior Basketball Team that went to the Quarter Finals in the city-wide tournament. Remember that gorgeous spectacle, the May Festival, and the beautiful queen and her court. Remember the Fall and Spring Musicales, the dances in the gym, and the Senior Proms, Remember the wonderful assemblies, and the fleeting moments of visiting with that special friend between periods and at lunch. Remember those teachers you liked so well who, in spite of what you thought then, really had your best interests at heart. Above all, remember those hours of hard work in class, in preparation for class, and the grand feeling of ac- complishment and of gratitude for a iob well done when the final marks were in the course books. Yes, all in all, it was a good year at Lake View in 1950-1951. Assistant Principal
