U our orioufi ecard ln the course of a very few minutes hundreds of eager, inspired youths hurry excitedly through the open and welcoming doors of a place upon which they will leave an indelible mark, over the worn steps, previ- ously trod by countless others, who have also left an impression upon them. For some it is a new experience--the Freshman, standing shyly upon the threshold of four apprehensive years, four frightening years, awe- some, but promising years. He is tense, blundering, and filled with fear mingled with uncertainty. He looks ahead, tremulously- Others have been there before, and are returning to taste anew all that they once enioyed-the Sophomore, standing initiated, accepted, with the door to these new vistas a full year behind him. He is happy, knowing that he has conquered the first imposing hurdles, he is acquainted with the school, he knows what to expect, and, too, what is expected of him. He looks ahead to the day when he will become an upper classman, longingly. Some have been a part of that life for quite some time-the Junior, standing iauntily, sure of himself and his position in the school-an upper classman. He has no serious problems nor worries, except to live through Macbeth and crusade for a Junior Prom . Like the others he, too, looks ahead to that wonderful day when he will be a Senior-that magical time when he shall reign supreme in this, his realm. He looks ahead, anxiously. The Senior is filled with mixed emotions. He feels proud and impor- tant to be what he is, but, like the Freshman, his future is cloudy and full of the unknown, and myriad feelings well up within him. For some it offers college, to others, work, and to others Uncle Sam beckons. Often he is regretful that he has not taken certain subiects, participated in more activities, or become a member of a particular organization, but, what- ever the future may hold for him, the Senior alone knows, and deeply feels, that Lake View has given him Four Glorious Years.

Let us imagine that one is a visitor at Lake View. What might be seen within its four strong red brick walls? Through- out the building a silence reigns, and yet one knows that it is inhabited by over two thousand energetic youths. If one is curious, he might just stroll down the corridors and peer into a few rooms. Probably the first place he would see would be the main office - responsible for the smooth way in which our school runs. Continuing on the way one comes upon the Library, filled with books on almost any subiect, a meeting of women who comprise the P.T.A. Board, a group of singers-one of the. many musical organizations, or, perhaps, a teacher will be seen counselling a troubled pupil - the Adjustment Department, carrying out its daily routine. All these are essential parts of our school. What is behind the other closed doors which line the long halls? Classes, of course.. . offering to each student a multitude of facts, teaching him how to live a fuller, more observant lite, widening his scope of ideas, building his character and personality, training him to be an American. In these classes all gain as much as they put forth in securing an education, a necessity in life, and the purpose ot maintaining the school.
