'74 9' 0 Qt Svrhnnl n aieuivw Lusten my readers and I Barton the Spartan wull tell you the story of the three interesting years whuch thus years graduates have spent at Lake 1 vuew Hugh Twas a gay September day when the class of 45 then a bunch of very bashful and tumud sophomores entered hugh school un the old buuldung B A sides thus part beung new to them they were yet to have another new ex peruence that of attending school for only a half day because of crowded condutuons Real hugh school actuvutues began wuth homecomung festuvutues Then one of the bugger thungs un the Sophs luves the J I-lop theur first formal I really got a bang out of the next bug dance whuch was the Girl Date Boy All the gals grabbed an unsu spectung fellow and off we went to the dance sponsored by the Girls Athletic Club whose membership was mostly sophomore gurls Later un the year rumors were confirmed and we knew that we would have a new school the next year The day we marched un a parade out to Woodrow Avenue to lay the new buuldungs cornerstone I put on my best suut of armor and clanked right along wuth the rest of the kids Clumaxung the years actuvutues was the Senuor Prom whuch was attended by many sophs now hardened to the socual routune of , all kunds of dances The prom was followed by baccalaureate and commencement and so the year ended leavung that year s sophs 5 ' class for the year l943 l944 The next September found the new junior class enterung along wuth e new sophs and senuors a brand new school lt could be added here that because of the shortage of metal they were obluged to hang coats on hooks un the halls and leave books on shelves overhead Thus locker sutuatuon was not a duffucult one for me as I always wear my suut of armor ln keepung with the new sutuatuon a new system for electuons was developed It was patterned after the natuonal electuons and was a source of great unterest to all Class officers were elect ed and thus uunuor class really went to town establushung themselves as no small factor un the success of the school year The homecomung celebratuon was something to be remembered that year wuth many alumnu , a Q returning to take part un the festuvutues Up untul thus tume I had always stayed un v - the background and observed what was doung I It was now that I made my decusuon to wrute and TZ publush my furst book the Log It was a real v ' success especually sunce ut was sponsored by the IQ44 senuors and even that years uunuors helped me out In fact I was so satusufed wuth - my efforts that I m makung ut an annual actuvuty Page Twenty eught I X ' I I I I W ' . . .I I . .' . .
