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.

fi li e J L HgE one littlelog cabin that formed Lgakewoocfs only school building a hundred years ago, today has expanded into a system of schools comparable to any in the United States, adequately organized to fill our greatest needs. The Briggs swimming pool, although it was completed only recently, has already been the scene of well-fought and exciting championship contests, the large athletic field is laid out to aEord extensive opportunities for the teams that are always in training, and the equipment in the class and laboratories includes all the material that is necessary to teach most eiectivelyq It is satisfying to realize that our late high school principal, Mr. Claude P. Briggs, was among the founders of the National Honor Society, a group to which only students With excellent scholastic records are elected, and that this school is also a pioneer in establishing concentration study halls. Lake- wood High School does not claim to be a preparatory school, but it takes pride in the fact that so many of its graduates go on to college, succeeding there and later on, in their business or professional careers.
