(’lass History In the fall of 1947, a tribe of trembling 7th graders trouped into the vast-“tepee of Lakeview High School We were horrified at the thought of getting lost while changing classes. How could we ever do it. Our minds tortured us at the thought of being separated from our other classmates and meeting face to face with Big Chief' Mr. Burke After finding our homerooms we began looking for our classrooms. Why wasn’t room 5 next to room 4? Soon we became acquainted with all our classmates and learned to like all our teachers Fresh- man life, which we had once thought would be boring, proved to-be a most enjoyable year, and no one stayed lost very long. I his ycur for the first time Lukevicw ozonized a football team. For a beginning team it did very well. As we ended our Freshman year we looked forward to our Sophomore year, and yet dreaded entering Mrs. Baldwin's English Class and studying Julius Caesar. Some how we struggled through and finally finished our first year of Algebra We really gained an asset in this year's new principal. Mr. Williams. With high hopes and great joys we entered the next year as Jolly Juniors. The year seems clearer to us because it was just a year ago. We elected Heap Big Dewey Alverson as president of our class. Lakeview had grown so that we gained four new teachers at the beginning of our Junior year. They were Mr Lowe, Mr. Leigh, Mr. Pack, and Mrs. Page. Again after a long time we had a teacher for foreign language—Mr. Leigh who is teaching Spanish. Everyone wa sthrilled over the success of our Junior Play, Bringing Up Mother. In 1950 our football team won 7 games, lost 2, and tied 1 Gloria Hayes was crowned at our home- coming game as 1950 football queen The success of our Junior-Senior Banquet was due largely to the efforts of Mrs. Brown and Mr. Lowe, our Junior sponsors. For the final activity of the year the Junior class went on a picnic to Pan Gap Everyone present had a wonderful time. This year for the first time we organized an honor society, the Beta Club, with 13 charter members. When we entered in the fall of '50 as Seniors, Macbeth became our major worry. The responsi- bility of the Warrior and the Echo” now rested upon our shoulders. We went to football games and cheered as we had never cheered before. Our school showed the finest display of school spirit that it had shown in years. Our last year at Lakeview was filled with much excitement; the crowning of the Hal- lowe’en Carnival King and Queen, the Football Queen, Sue Fletcher, the Senior Variety show and box- supper, Christmas Party, Senior Play, Class night and finally Graduation We expect to have a wonder- ful time on our trip to Washington, D. C. Now we are filled with memories of our schcol-days at Lakeview. These will live on with us throughout our lives. All the fun we had and all the joys of the past four years are still in our hearts and whenever we see the great colors “red and white We will have reverence in our hearts for this school that we loved. Charlotte Smith (11 a s s Prophecy After returning some years later to the up and coming young town of Lakeview we find the class of '51 prospering very well under our privileges as American citizens. Dewey Alverson, the Mayor of this lovely villa, has invited me to attend him on a tour of sights. So let's tag along As we left the Mayor’s office I noticed his most capable secretary was none other than June McCain who is now married and has three pint-sized majorettes. Across the street we find the offi ces of Mr. James and Mrs Gloria Hyatt, who are now in the insurance business I noticed an artist on the street and after closer inspection found him to be none other than J. E Nick Nichens. Nick” explains that his wife Peggy Bennett now has her own beauty shoppe Passing a billboard a familiar face greets my eyes, none other than Harry Brooks, now famous band leader, whose band features Bob Thomas and Frank Ireland as soloists. Later the Mayor has promised me a visit to the big industrial plant owned by Bill Bryant. Moving further uptown we pass the Lakeview Baptist Church with Pete Kennedy as pastor and Charles Gray as music director. Members of the choir include, the Pastor’s wife, Jeanne White, Joyce Hardy, Barbara Moreland, Barbara Wilson, Ann Liner (now Mrs. Burt Brown), and Elaine McDaniel (now Mrs. Ronald Norris). Max Fisher seems to be in business running the Bach- elors Rest Home and who are his star boarders, the famed lovers, Earl and Gene Christian. (Continued in ad section)
