Where’er He sees a smile too bright Or heart too pure for taint and vice. He bears it to that world of light To dwell in Paradise. Mrs. Elaine Me Craith We wish to dedicate this year’s Driftwood to Mrs. Elaine Me Craith. We, the l akeshore students, feel that Mrs. Me Craith deserves this honor because of her commendable assistance to the Class of ’63, and the guidance w hich she extends to the freshman and sophomore classes. Mrs. Me Craith has been associated with education for eight and one-half years. She has earned a Bachelor of Science and Master of Art degrees at Michigan State University and Iowa State College. Prior to her present counseling position, the juniors and seniors knew her as a psychology, family living, and home economics teacher. 4 On behalf of the school we commend Mrs. Me Craith on her fine job.

Olmstead Supt. of Schools 6 Administrators To the Students of lakeshore: It is w ith a great deal of pleasure that I contemplate setting dow n a few words here which may serve as my first communication to the students of Lakeshore. Returning to this area only last July after eight years, one is impressed bv the tremendous change in the school district; the growth in population, the change from agricultural to resi- dential. bv the evidence of the manv housing developments, and of course the many new modern school buildings which should make for enjoyable expe- riences in obtaining an education. As students you should be justlv proud of the facilities and the programs provided here at Lakeshore and pledge yourselves to take advantage to the fullest extent of the tremen- dous opportunities for obtaining a good education so necessary in this demanding world. Mv sincere congratulations to the graduates. Mv best w ishes go with vou always. William F. Galbreath Assistant Superintendent 7 Assistant Superintendent: MR. WILLIAM GALBREATH A Friend of the Students Principal: MR. RAYMOND BICKFORD As each of you looks back, over the past vear and reviews his accomplishments or achieve- ments, keep in mind this thought: In the final analvsis you should not measure vour success bv what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

Marjorie Nye Director of Food Service MRS. MARJORIE NYE MRS. ARLENE STOVER Language MRS. SUZANNE HARVEY The English and speech departments of I.ake- shore High School endeavor to help students to think and communicate more effectively. Many activities such as writing, studying various forms of literature, grammar, analyzing literature, and presenting plays are used to achieve this end. 14 MR. LEWIS EIEER MRS. JUDITH CARLSON MR. ROBERT FELL MR. ROBERT GREENDONNER Social Studies MR. RUSSELL OLIN MR. PAUL WATT MRS. MILDRED HAMBLEN MRS. PATSY HARTZELL Business Education MR PtJRCELL VAN DEN BERG MRS. MARCIA HAMMER MR THOMAS PORTER MRS. RUTH NIEWYK Mathematics MR. JAMES BUSBY Mathematics is an organization of the properties of numbers and objects. A study of mathematics provides in- formation for everyday life, a tool for all other sciences, and background for future study of advanced mathematics. Because of the importance of mathematics, the Lakeshore High School mathematics curriculum includes general math, algebra I. geometry, algebra II. advanced math. MR. CLARE SILAS Vocational Education The Industrial Arts Department this year encompasses: Wood Shop; Metal Shop: Auto Mechanics; Architectural, Me- chanical, and Engineering Drawing. This is the first year that Auto Mechanics classes have been added to the Industrial Arts curriculum. Much enthusiasm has been displayed b the stu- dents for these classes, and they show promise of being popular courses next year. With the addition of Auto Mechanics, there is now a wide range of Industrial Arts c ourses that are available to all interested students. 20 MR DENNIS HOLDER MR. MORRIS MATTSON Physical Education MR ARTHUR GUSE Bolh (Coacti Cuse and Mrs. Jackson arc aware of the relationship between a strong body and a sound mind. Each has developed an admirable program to assist our students in achieving both in their high school career. EXERCISE? MRS. JEAN JACKSON 21 Home Economics Mrs. Buys finds herself very busy with teaching Homeniaking. She has Homemaking 1. II. Ill with each year presenting a different program. Homemaking I is centered on the ninth grader, her personal problems and those of her age group. Homemaking 11 8 program is centered about the individual as part of the family group. Homemaking Ill’s emphasis is given to community living as well as to personal and family concerns of girls as young adults. MRS. SALLY Bl YS MR. ROGER LANDSBl RG Agriculture Opportunity is afforded for students to acquire skills as well as to develop in leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. The student gains experience in management, finance, and respon- sibility through cooperative and individual projects. The pro- gram which functions throughout the year is enhanced bv many worthwhile field trips. A new addition to the program in vocational agriculture is a course in agricultural mechanics. This course help to make a more complete program by acquainting the student with the mechanical principles involved in agriculture. Instrumental Music Mr. Arnold Lesser Vocal Music Mrs. Kuth W ittenkeller Fine Arts Librarian Miss Mikel McGeath Art, Speech Miss Judith Ludwig A WORD My strongest impression of L.H.S. is the very go xl and friendly relationship between teachers and students. The atmosphere in the classrooms is so relaxed, the work seems easier, and though the classes are about twice as long as what I m used to they seem to go fast. I wish you all could go to a European school to see how it is when you have to stand up when an adult enters the room etc. etc. Hopefully we can change this custom in the near future or I'll be in trouble when I get back. Kris Again this year Lakeshore welcomed three exchange students. As before, Sweden and Germany were well represented this time bv blond Kris Nilsson, smiling Tony Walter, our first foreign student from England. Friendly Norman Snell. Those of us who met and got to know them learned interesting and informative things about their native countries and the lives of students in their home lands. I have enjoyed mv stav here and everything I have done at school. I still like the place although we get test’s every week. The thing that really impressed me is the way in which every- one is so friendly and helpful: another thing is the class relationship between the studentes and the teachers, lhave not been used to this. I hope that in years to come I will be able to come back again and even attend one of the colleges. 11 Norman FROM OUR E X S C T H U A D N Tony Looking back at this past vear. 1 have to sav that this has been a time of great experiences. There were many things which had been completely new for me and which I had to get used to. There was, for example, the American school system with its schedule and curriculum. I liked especially well the more informal relationship between faculty and students and all the extracurricular activities. I also was very impressed by the American teenagers, they have, I think, more liberties than teenagers in Europe. After only a short time here 1 came to like the American wav of living — housing, food, traveling, etc. and I have decided that I should like to come back to the United States as soon as possible. 25 Harold Salutatorii 29 Senior Class Officers Secretary — Sallv Davidson Treasurer — Andrea Pries 31 Shervl A.

Linda Stockman was crowned our queen during the halftime performance of the Lakeshore vs. Berrien game. Her court consisted of Cathy Eads, Sallv Davidson, Connie Ott and Maribeth Perron. The Junior class representative was Charlene Zemke. Cathy Robinson represented the Sopho- mores, with Sue Dixon showing for the Freshmen. Homecoming week consisted of: Sweat out the Shamrocks Day Shoe out the Shamrocks Day Sucker Day Hex Day School Spirit Day Excitement mounted as the cheerleader coaxed us on at the Thursday night bonfire. The climax came when our Lancers tromped over Berrien, Friday night. The fi- nale came with the end of the Homecoming dance on Saturday.

The I akeshore High School Marching Band took a division I rating in marching. At the District Band and Orchestra Festival in Benton Harbor, the band received a division II rating. This vear Lakeshore served as host for the All Star Band, a select group of students from bands all over Southwestern Michigan. Thev performed here January .'30, under the direction of Mr. Leonard Falcone, guest conductor from Michigan State University. The Pep Band, which plaved at all our home games, helped by boosting school spirit. So . . . Strike up the band! 123 Tri-Hi-Y ’To create, maintain and extend . . Off with a bang this year, the new Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Tri-Hi-Y clubs were founded as Christian service groups affiliated with the local YMCA. Flic girls have been very active taking trips together, some educational and others just plain exciting. They held two hake sales, one in the fall at Thompsons in Baroda and the laundromat at Stevensville, and one at the Senior Snack Bar in March. Their booth at the Winter (Carnival took a first prize and their dance in March was a huge success. These clubs have really taken their place at I-akeshore.

This year for lh first time, Lakeshore could boast of having a choir — a busy choir. We heard from them for the first time in November at PTSA. In December, the group sang at Schulers, and was so well liked they were asked for an encore! In February they showed the junior high school students what fun choir really was. March sent soloists and ensembles to St. Joseph for the Solo and Ensemble Contest. We received straight I ratings. April saw the choir do a fabulous job at the contest in Portage.
