Q, ,jAKEWOOD is a community of homes. So manygtimes have the people of Lakewood heard this sentence, and so many times have they themselves repeated it, that they do not always think of its real meaningg but, familiar as the saying has become, it possesses a deeper significance than is at iirst apparent. Such a reputation is much to be desired for any city. As a matter of course, many business men who have their oflices in crowded Cleveland have chosen Lakewood as the place in which they will estab- lish their residences. They want to come home from the dingy business sections and spend .their evenings quietly in pleasant homes surrounded by large lawns and shady trees. These men have built, not merely houses, but true homes. They take an interest in making their property more attractive with each passing year. Their dwellings are not large and pretentious, but .,. . and this is certainly much more important . . . the people who live in them have an intense civic pride. They work to make their city out- standing among all others, one whose appearance draws admiration from everyone who passes through it. They regard their homes as their castles . . . and it is this spirit that makes of Lakewood a--. City of Homesf' I

V1 AKEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL and the more elemen- tary schools under the control of the Board of Education, also are most peculiarly close to the lives of the citizens of Lakewood. Other cities have their factories, hospitals, and great public institutions af various kinds, whereas Lakewood has only its education system to serve as a bond uniting all the people. Since this is true, the officials and teachers of the schools have come to be among the outstanding citizens of the community. Thus Mr. Julius E. Warren, in his capacity both as a private citizen and also as the superintendent of public schools, has been selected by the staff of the 1930 Cinema as typical of all the public-spirited citizens of Lakewood. Mr. Warren, a graduate of Dartmouth Oollege, came to Lakewood from Springfield, Massachusetts. For three years he has been at the head of our school system and inthe meantime has actively participated in various organizations of Lake- Wood business men.
