These are all signs of the presence of 377 students who come here to learn and 27 faculty members whose job is to regulate and operate the school's learning process. Behind closed doors, the ad- ministration meets to form school policies, the cooks or- ganize the menus for the year, and the bus drivers com- plete their study of the new bus routes that they will have to drive throughout the year. 6 HW .W ff .44 14 usd' .

Il White socks, sloppy clothes, and five different colored hair ribbons? You've got to be kid- ding! Well, that's the way the Lakers initiated their 1968 Homecoming festivities. The Lettermen's Club spon- sored a twenty-five lap bi- cycle race won by the Cross Country team. The night was rounded out with a bonfire which served as an inciner- ator for the senior outhouse representing Howe Military. On Friday night came the ac- tion packed football game against Howe, won by Lake- land 8-O. The half-time ac- tivities featured the crowning of the 1968 Homecoming Queen, Melody Cook, and the showing ofthe class floats. The immense bonfire reflects Laker spirit on the faces of juniors Ed Hack- ett and Kaye Resler.

The Lakeland marching band keeps up a lively pace down the midway, led by six twirlers and the drum major, Mike Saddler. Marching bands and joyful faces sparkle in the brisk night air as the 63rd annual Corn School begins in Octo- ber. All cares are tossed aside and fun for all becomes the main objective. Bands from all over the LaGrange County area march in the nightly parades and there are plenty of rides and refreshments to be enjoyed by young and old alike. One of the highlights of Corn School is the LaGrange County Queen Contest. This year Lakeland was well-rep- resented taking the top four positions. Linda Rowe was chosen queen, and Judy Whit- ing, Ginny Helmkamp, Mary Jo Good, seniors at LHS, and Jurene Murphy from Prairie Heights served as members of hercourt. i I3 Diary of Anne Frank , Classic WWII As they leave the room, Mrs. Van Daan urges Peter to listen to Mr. Franks suggestions.

Undone homework, late nights at school, and students with the Monday morning blahs are commonplace at L.H.S. when the Seniors are preparing for their play. This year The Di- ary of Anne Frank was se- lected, the classic story of a young Jewish girl caught in the tangled webs of life during WWII. This being my first produc- tion, I was doubtful of how the play would turn out, but to my pleasure everything went very well. A mature atti- tude was displayed by all and when under pressure, these people showed that they could be 'adult' in their atti- tudes, commented Mr. Chiv- ington. Under the direction of Mr. Chivington, the play was performed before two full houses in the high school aud- itorium. ,in 1 ,, 4, Cookies and punch were served to couples during the band's intermission.

The theme this year was Santas Toyland which was brought out through the mod decorations. Couples en- tered through a giant mailbox made of paper into a land of fun and a night filled with entertainment. The highlights of the Christ- mas Dance arrived with the crowning of the queen. Jan Sautter, a senior, was selected by the girls in Y-Teens to serve as royalty. Miss Sautter was crowned by the 1967 Queen, Jo Ann Jacobs. After being selected, Jan stated that she felt that it was a great honor and a privilege bestowed upon only a few. I was delighted and very sur- prised at being selected and am happy that the girls vot- ed for me to represent this outstandingorganization.

I7 Mr. Chivington Receives Mummy Case The Junior Class presented The Man Who Came to Din- ner on March 28 and 29 to approximately 600 people. This comedy, by Hart and Kaufman, is about a celebrat- ed radio personality who visits a small home in Ohio. When he leaves he slips on ice in front of the house and is confined to the home for six weeks. He takes complete control of the household, sues his host for S150,000, and runs up an S800 tele- phone bill. Complications set in when his private secretary falls in love with a local newspaperman and the Stanleys' son and daughter run away from home. Mr. Lynn Chivington, the di- rector, was assisted by Suzi Eiseman as stage manager, and Alice Merrell as assistant director. He stated that he enjoyed putting on the play and the cast was a great bunch of kids to work with. After the play, the class pre- sented ivir. Chivington with what he considered the greatest remembrance of the play -the mummy case in which Lorraine Sheldon was carried oft. The cast and the crew signed the lid of the case and had a gold plaque mount- ed on it, inscribed To Mr. C., Junior Play,Class of 7O.

Music Department Presents Carousel The Lakeland Music Depart- ment presented the musical Carousel to a sell-out audi- ence on May 2-3. Carousel unfolds a strange and beautiful love story told in unforgettable songs from the hearts and pens of Rodg- ers and Hammerstein. The story begins in a carnival at a quaint New England Sea- port. Billy Bigelow, a hand- some young barker meets Julie Jordan, a girl who works at Bascombe's knitting mill. When Billy falls in love with Julie, the carousel owner, Mrs. Mullin, dismisses him. Julie has also been dismissed from the mill. Being in des- perate need of money, Billy attempts to rob the wealthy mill owner, Mr. Bascombe. However, he fails and to avoid humiliation and capture, he kills himself. ln heaven Billy finds himself before the judges who consent to give him a single chance to return to earth and redeem himself. While there, he gives new hope and courage to his wife and youngdaughter. Songs from the musical, such as You'll Never Walk Alone , lf I Loved You , Mr. Snow , June is Bustin' Out All Over , and What's the Use of Won'drin' were very well done by the orchestra, cho- rus, and soloists.

Flower bedecked columns, a wishing well, bee- hive, and snowman highlighted the Junior- Senior Prom, Seasons of Love. The Juniors obtained one week to transform the gym from a room that months before roared with the excitement of a basketball game to a scene to set the romantic mood. With much hard work and given up study halls, the gym was transformed successfully. At 10:00 the couples were dismissed to the auditorium for a program given by Clifford Guest, a voice imitationist. At 11:00 Judy Whiting and Dave Nelson were crowned King and Queen with Nlr. and Mrs. William Booth leading the grand march afterwards. The dance ended much too soon and now nothing is left but the majestic memories of itall. axis: W' -if Y .UM -AJ,-f .5, if , ,i5f 2-M 'fa -,N -w. X At 8:00 p.m. on lVlay 28, 1969, 106 people entered the Lakeland High School gymnasium as Sen- iors for the last time. This was the night they had been waiting for most of their lives, the night they would be march- ing down the aisle, grasping their diploma, and turning their tas- sels, the sign of graduation and the symbol ot a beginning. Rev. Robert Trueblood delivered his message, Well, what do you know? to the graduating sen- iors lVlay 25 at the baccalaureate services. The speaker for the commencement was Dr. R. Bruce McQuigg, Association Coordina- tor for Secondary Education, lnsite Project at Indiana Uni- versity. His topic was, Quality, Quantity, Another Look. After the benediction the Seniors formed a reception line to be congratulated by the many well wishers. Adjusting her mortarboard, Melody Cook contemplates the idea of graduation.

Class participation is an essential phase in the life ofa Lakeland student. A wide range of courses in all phases of history, science, and math are offered for col- lege bound students. Art, business, and home econom- ics classes are open to those not intending to further their education, as are courses in agriculture, drafting, and graphic arts. Reaching for your scholastic goal and graduating is an important avenue ofthe Road to Knowledge. .M : fl Q W v!

New Techniques lVla ke Salvata, Hola, and Guten-tag are all various ways of saying Hello to the advantages that languages olter a student. This year Lakeland offers three languages, Latin and German, taught by Mr. Fred Hellman, and Spanish, taught by lVlrs. Margaret Hess. The Lakeland language lab is an important part of all the language classes. The students listen to tapes spoken by natives and in this way get more experience in listening, compre- hending and speakingthelanguage. The language classes use many novelties to help them master the language. The students help write and then present skits or puppet shows and often sing songs in the native lan- guage. These make the classes more interest- ing and also help the students learn some- thing that could possibly help them in a future occupation. Dorothy Troyer gives a Spanish talk explaining how to make a Christmas decoration.

Lakeland Science and lVlath Students Prove that Experience ls the Best Teacher Being careful not to drip, lVlr. Frymier shows Ginny Helm- kamp how to mix water and acid together. The motto Experience is the best teacher applies to both the science and math depart- ments. With the well-equipped labs all of the students can accumulate knowledge that will help them solve the problems of our world. Shattering glass, splashing water, and sus- picious barnyard aromas are a few of the sounds and smells of the chemistry and biol- ogy labs. Science students combine field trips, science fair projects, labs, and bookwork to acquaint them with all the aspects of the world around them. Math students also participate in the an- nual science fair. Students use a variety of mathematical instruments such as slide rules, rulers, protractors, and Compasses to help them solve the complicated but challenging algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and physics problems. Chemistry class proves to be very glamorous as well as was just one of the experiments out of the many that were exciting to students Tom Swihart and Alan Warble. This done through the whole year.

Television is used to keep up to date with local and world news. Nlr. Fremion and lVlr. i3eaty's main objective is turning out good citizens. Nlr. Potter's main objective is the end ofthe school year. Sonya Carney eagerly awaits a question in history. Mr. Fremion awaits an answer from his typical in front of class lecturing stance. In his first period Psychology class, Nlr. Beafy relaxes dur- ing the showing of a film on police work. With a pencil behind his ear, Mr. Potter laughs as he carries on a Sociology class discussion. Penny Hughes finds Mr. Fremion's bad pun half humor- ous, but Linda Rowe and Gary Peisert think Donna Crow- ther's side comment is much more so. ...anim-nf.. Students Express Themselves Through During senior English class, Ginny Helmkamp, Judy Whit- ing, John Lauver, Mary Bull and Tracy Purcell were al- New ideas and techniques were acquired along with two new personnel in the English de- partment, lVlr. Lynn Chivington and Mr. Roger Loewen. Team teaching was experimented with in the sophomore English classes, while independent studying and speaking for them- selves and without fear were used in the junior and senior English classes. Many sophomores compiled their own newspapers and had them commercially printed. Informative, entertaining and impromptu are only three types of speeches given by the students in Mr. Hendricks speech classes. With the excitement of second semester also came the great and sometimes noisy debates and discussions. Students and faculty members were invited to come and enjoy the debates with other English classes. Mrs. Reed listens intently as a student expresses his views on the Englishlanguage. lowed to discuss the ditterent scenes and characters of MacBeth in the commons. English and Speech While lVlr. Hendricks grades papers, his sophomore English class studies the next days assignment. Junior Ron Waldon displays his interest in Mr. Chiving- ton's English class by taking a nap. Displaying good posture, Greg Pierson gives an enter taining speech during Nlr. Hendricks' speech class. Mr. Liechty shows the students in his Music Appreciation Class how sound waves are visualized on a strobetuner. Music Stresses Know Because of the influence it has on our lives, music is an important part of life itself. Music is the one thing in life that is common to all. No matter where you go in the world, you hear the sounds of music. Whether it is singing in the choir, or playing an instrument in the band, students at Lakeland have the opportu- nity to learn and enjoy music. To help under- stand music more fully,'Mr. James Liechty teaches the basis and fundamentals in his music appreciation class. ln learning to under- stand music, his students learn rhythm, theory, andthe history of music. Mr. Liechty ponders the question as to whether he should give an assignment to the class. 5 -33?QL2:. fwieiziffziis f' fiiiiitfiisrt 1 Y J isf was Junior John Stukey is activating the strobetuner by hitting the chimes with a mallet. ledge of Fundamentals W Art Courses Promote Self-Expression The world would be pretty drab if it were not for the beauty of art. The art courses offered at Lakeland include drawing, painting, sculp- turing, introduction to design, and ceramics. Under the guidance of Miss King, the students are able to express themselves in their work. The mood a person is in usually shows up in his work whether it is a painting, a mural, or a bust of Shakespeare. Miss King feels it is im- portant for her students to develop a wider appreciation of art. They need to enjoy more than a photographic painting of a brook run- ning through a woods. During the spring, the art classes took an educational and entertain- ing trip to the Art Institute and Old Town in Chicago. While there they were able to observe a few of the professional forms of art. Thus they were able to improve on their own works. Randy Merrifield, Gary McDonald, and Dave Butfington are busy with their drawings for art class. Miss Mary King, at her first year as art instructor at Lake- land, observes Jerry Handshoe's creation. f ,.:-ww fi ,g.ti.wi.r,tQs.ft:-i . . 1 i .

The hum of conversations, laughter, and an occasional boo at a bad joke were typical sounds heard emitting from the Journalism Room during the ECHO staff's fourth period class. In addition to publishing the school newspaper, the class studied writing proce- dures in such areas as features, editorials, and sports, and improved their skills by work- ing as reporters. Under Editor-in-Chief Mary Bull, several innovations were established. One of the first of these was the enlargement of the format to eleven by seventeen inches. The old format was felt to be too small to cov- er the school news as the staff felt it should. An increased amount of advertising and high- er rates saw the paper run in the black for the first time in Lakeland's history. Sports Editor Al Warble shows his true feelings for his work as he and Editor-in-Chief Mary Bull complete the layouts foranother ECHO deadline.

It was this goal that the 1969 MIRAGE staffers strived to achieve. Throughout the year, the clicking of type- writers, the anguished cries of frustrated copy writers, and the crunch of popcorn was heard from behind the door of Room 164. The experience and knowledge of Co-Editors Susan Hemlinger and Jennifer lddings was used by the less experienced staffers in preparing lay- outs, writing copy, and compiling headlines, all necessary components of a good yearbook. ur .ir-1111... .f..z.is..effs-w-fxv-umwwse. new . x .zw4m..11 N.

Lakeland FFA Builds Barn tor LaGrange Agriculture students R. .Lower, G. Klopenstein, R. Miller, and M. Boyle listen intently as Mr. Edgar Franklin ex- plains the texture and content of soil, Mr. McKim points out to D. Buffington and E. Lemmings the different types of printing machines in graphic arts. The Industrial Arts department consists of classes such as machine shop, drafting, transportation, and building trades. Working with machines and classroom discussions make up a large part of the time spent in this curriculum area. ln machine shop, students learn the operation and the safety of machines. Graphic arts students are concerned with the broad gen- eral study of the purpose, techniques, and applications used by man in the production and reproduction of graphic materials. The Vocational Agriculture program, under the direction of Mr. Edgar Franklin, is con- cerned with the training of students as future members of the farming profession. During the past summer members ot the agriculture department constructed a barn on the La- Grange County fair grounds. This particular barn will be used as a shelter tor livestock. Members of agriculture classes also partici- pate in various types ot agricultural judging activities. Rich Sherman and Melvin Boyle inspect two newborn lambsintheschoolagriculture barn.

Physical education plays an important part in every high school program. lt helps to keep our students physically fit and provides fun forall. The sophomore classes practiced working on the gymnastic apparatus and learned the different procedures in tumbling. They learned how to play tennis, badminton, and soccer. The more advanced classes learned the fundamentals of archery and riflery. They practiced different plays in basketball, foot- ball, baseball and performed many acrobatic stunts while learning tumbling routines on the trampoline, horse, parallel bars, and balance beam.

Once they start they usually finish out the three remaining years of home economics. Nlrs. lVlastarone, the head of the home eco- nomics department, influences the girls to learn the duties of a housewife. Not only do Mrs. lVlastarone's home economics classes make a tempting cake, pie, and cook- ies, they also learn to sew a fine seam, but only through the mistakes they make throughout the year. By making mistakes the girls achieve a greater knowledge of what home economics is all about. Among the other things they learn by doing are making beds, dusting the furniture, removing stains and hanging curtains. They also take the na- tional Red Cross first aid course. The students have very excellent quarters in which to study. Joyce Johnson has makeup applied by a cosmetician who advised on how to improve their facial appearance. 1st ROW: Miss Hite, Linda Baker, Debbie Sorg, Carolyn man, Donna Crowther, Kathy Bradley, Linda Keck, Brenda Noble, Debbie lVlcKee. 2nd ROW: Suzie Eisejan, Wilma Hill- Dorner, and Janet Trubey. Library's Key Word Is Organization Organization is the key word in Lakeland's li- brary this year. Head librarian, Miss Sally Hite, has organized the different types of ma- terial into their own categories. Each group is labeled in order to make locating books is easier. Lakeland hovv boasts a most efficient '1 library.

Way to Glory Athletics is a fascinating fac- et in Lakeland students' lives. Through sports they expound their school spirit, cheering for their team and never los- ing confidence. The cheerleaders serve as the control of the school spirit. Inventing new yells and organizing pep sessions give the team the urge to win. Wrestling, baseball, football, track, tennis, cross country, golf, and basketball cham- pionships are tough goals to achieve. Each year L.H.S. travels farther on its Way to Glory.

New Look Achieved Through New Uniforms Varsity cheerleaders led the pep club in many cheers. The Varsity cheerleaders started their season by spending a week at Camp Walbridge learn- ing new yells, chants, and pom-pom routines. Regular practice sessions were held once a week during the school year to improve and learn new yells. Michele Mynhier, Judy Gage, Mary Leu, and Deb Merrifield were selected by the student body in October as Junior Varsity cheerlead- ers. Only Juniors and Sophomores were eligi- ble. They practiced two nights a week to pre- pare for their basketball games. Renee Able, Pat Foltz, Connie Honeywell, and Judy Whiting were chosen to participate in routines along with the cheerleaders. These routines were presented at home basketball games including one in which the Westview cheerleaders participated. Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores fought over who would win the spirit stick by trying to out-yell each other. The cheerleaders votes decided the winner.

James Arvin, ended this spring's season with a 3 and 13 mark. Because this year's team was a small one, hav- ing thirteen players, they were often out- classed, but put in a good showing at all of their games. After last year's Sectional championship, the Lakers were allowed to host this year's, and came off with an initial win over Westview, 16- 6, before being downed by West Noble, 13-3. As the team will lose half its members through graduation, prospects for next year do not appear positive.

Sportsmanship Gained Through GAA All girls in grades 10-12 who are interested in sports are eligible for membership in Lake- Iand's Girl's Athletic Association. The oppor- tunity to participate in such sports as basketball and track is given to each member. In September a barbecue was held to get all members acquainted with each other. Later on in the year the GAA and the Lettermen's Club traveled to Detroit to watch the Detroit Pistons in action. The members had several money making projects such as selling sweaters to the student body and sponsoring dances. The money earned was put to good use by buying basketball and track uniforms. One of the highlights for the 1968-1969 sea- son was the District Ill Track Meet held at Lakeland in May. Deb and Dorothy Troyer discuss the District Ill Track Meet held in May with Mrs. Petterson.

The girls chose a grade level they were inter- ested in and from this they were assigned to a teacher for their classroom observations and activities. The objectives of the class are to interest and encourage able students in the teaching profession and to give pre- vocational information and experience to help students decide if they have the neces- sary qualifications for teaching. The course gives students a chance to realize personal satisfaction derived from teaching, to deter- mine their desired levels and areas and to deepen their awareness of professional responsibilities for guiding able students into the teaching profession.

KP I 1 ' rell s,,l 62071 of Seniors to Further Education Seniors John Frederick and Dennis Kretschman discuss future college plans with Mr. Richard Butt. One of the functions of the counselors is to help students make the most of their poten- tialities. As counselors, Mrs. Deanna Johnson and lVlr. Richard Butt carefully discuss per- sonal problems and private questions with the assurance of strict confidence. Available to students are college pamphlets and up-to-date materials on entrance re- quirements. Assistance is given to students interested in job requirements, financial aid, and choice of colleges. All students are tested during the year. The counselors help each to interpret his score and area of competence. In their files they keep follow-up records of each student who has graduated from Lake- land. Through the use of these records they can tell what new courses they should ofter and howtoimprove old ones. Mrs. Deanna Johnson finds the answer to a sophomore achievement test question rather humorous. Seniors lnstill Lasting Memories at L.H.S. Our faces display the concentration of adult wisdom as we scan our textbooks eagerly searching for one more piece of knowledge. Twelve years of schooling have passed be- have made new friends and methods of study. We have hind us. We learned new developed a thirst for learning-trying to ful- fill our dreams for the future. As we reflect on our past, we find fond mem- ories of grade school and the first dance we went to. They are all cherished thoughts, but they are over and have vanished. We are leaving now. As adults we can rely no longer on the wisdom and guidance of our parents and teachers. As we nervously enter the gymnasium the past three years of prepara- tion will be acknowledged through a small piece of paper . . . our diplomas. As seniors we must look ahead and make plans for our futures. We shall set our goals and work toward those goals. We should al- ways remember the past, for it is the founda- tion of our lives ,... but we should anticipate thefuture.

Junior Magazine Drive Successful As the juniors begin their second year at Lake- land they discover many challenging jobs awaiting them. One of these jobs, the selling of magazines, proved rather prosperous. ln- cluding the sales from the four junior highs and Lakeland they received their share of S1,076.03. The result of all this profit was the decoration and completion of the Junior- Senior Prom. Some jobs that really kept a junior busy were working on the spirit sign as an after school activity and working in the concession stands during football and bas- ketball seasons.

W. A 213 A f ' The sophomore class of Lakeland succeeded in making a true show of spirit this year. They placed many times in the spirit trophy contest and constructed an imaginative spirit sign to display on the gym wall. Another accomplish- ment was the election of their class officers. Serving as class president was J. D. Miller, Eric Lewis served as vice-president, with Rod Lewis assisting as treasurer, and Judy Gage as secretary. The students selected to serve on the student council as representatives were Loren Drake, John Juday, Steve Liechty, Claudia Skinner, and Gaylord Pierson. This year also the sophomores had the privilege of choosing class rings. They ordered them in April and will be receivingthem in September. The class of 1971 found their first year at Lakeland to be challenging as well as exciting and stimulating. Sophomore Pat Mynhier daydreams during homeroom. Sophomore class president J. D.
