A “HEART” PLACE TO BEAT “Lakeview’s success comes, in part, from the strong com- munity support it receives.” Mr. Kamm, Superintendent From the outside, Lakeview may not appear to be a typi- cal high school. It isn’t lo- cated inside any city limits, it doesn’t educate students from only one town, and it isn’t a very old school. These unique characteristics enhance Lakeview’s character and make it the heartbeat of its own community. As the heartbeat of its com- munity Lakeview draws its stu- dents from several towns including Columbus, Platte Center, Creston, Leigh, and Monroe. These towns help give Lakeview its unique per- sonality; a personality which stretches across a seventeen mile ra- dius. As Lakeview entered its seven- teenth year it was aware of the strong community support it re- ceives. Lakeview repays its commu- nity by being its best in everything it attempts whether it be academ- ics, athletics, or co-curricular activi- ties. In 1987 Lakeview’s heartbeat was as strong as it could be.

PUPILS PROVIDE VIKING PULSE “I like to go to Lakeview be- cause a lot of different peo- ple go here and they’re a lot of fun to be around.” Shawn Greisen, senior. What’s a movie with- out popcorn? What’s the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team without Bobby Knight? What’s a yearbook without a staff? All these things have one essential ingredient that makes them what they are. The important ingredient in a school is its students. Students are the heart of a school. Lakeview’s heart starts to beat when the first bell rings at 8:20 a.m. and 253 students stroll to their first period classes. Freshmen race to class for fear of being late, while seniors leisurely tour the hall- ways making it to class just as the bell rings. After attending seven 54 minute periods of classes, these same students scurry through the hallways on their way home. By the time a student attends Lakeview for four years he will have spent 287,280 minutes of his life in the school--not including time spent for extra-curricular activities or ath- letics. Many of these minutes are spent with friends. Senior and junior friends and classmates gather in the pit before school and during lunch. The pit is a unique feature of Lakeview and is off limits to underclassmen. The pit is a place where students can lounge to forget the confines of their desks. Without students Lakeview would be very dull. It is the students of Lakeview High School that give a strong heartbeat to the school and make it come alive. Standing around and talking to friends in the hallways is a favorite past-time of stu- dents. Lisa Zakrzewski and Kelly Siefken chat after school.
