HARD WORK Government BEGUN For three weeks before Lakeridge opened in September. 1971, seven students worked dili- gently to get the school ready before students arrived. This body was pre-government and laid the format for rules and traditions the school was to follow in coming years. They also took care of charting clubs and organizing activities. When the General As- sembly was established, they disbanded. The seven students involved in this govern- ment were Jim Serrill. Kim Lee, Kim Cortese, Scot Burbank and Marcy Neuburg, all previous members of the Advisory Council. Other members were President Greg Harlow and Warren Oliver.

AD VISOR Y STARTS Council EARL Y Vice principal Dr. Bob Kremer, faculty mem- bers Mr. Don Robertson and Miss Karen Wood and students Jim Serrill, Marcy Neuburg, Kim Cortese. Kathy Harmer, Kim Lee, Paul Har- mer and Patty Hinman were some of those who shared their ideas in the planning and creation of Lakeridge. This group was formed to assist and advise Mr. Jerome Beier and the administration when decisions and problems arose concerning the new school. They sug- gested ideas for the name and theme of the school, school colors. team nicknames and types of furniture and rugs to be used. They worked the summer before the school opened to be ready for the students that entered in September. They were the people who made the building so welcome on that first day! !

CONSTITUENT TFUE3 Assembly IDEAS The Constituent Assembly combined the ef- forts of students and faculty members to pro- duce a constitution that would represent the non-traditional philosophy of Lakeridge High School. In seeking a different approach to the problem of school constitutions, they combined ideas from successful constitutions of other schools plus some of their own. The students who participated were divided into three groups: one to write up the consti- tution, one to decide how the General Assem- bly members would be picked and one to write the preamble. Working week nights as well as Saturdays and Sundays, it took them nearly three weeks to complete the task.
