OH WHAT A FEELING! AWAKENING W Each dawn brought a new day and anticipation of what would occur. Although waking was never a favorite activity, there was plenty to do each morning. Athletes and madmen headed to the pool, the beach, the courts or the track. Scholars and Lancers with afternoon jobs ar- rived on campus at seven a.m. for a zero period class, while others attended predawn lectures on calculus at City College. With school starting twenty minutes earlier, most Lancers rushed just to beat the eight o ' clock tardy bell. Awakening, however, was more than just making it to school. The innovative academic program inspired many, while the widely-attended ROP classes gave Lancers a head-start on their careers. The ESL students were eager to learn a new language and a new culture. Many students became aware of the fact that they could achieve many of their dreams if they persevered. 1 , BOBBY KILEEN. JEFF JONES. MIKE DE GRAZIA and PETE STAITI go surfing before school. 2.

The feeling of accomplishment in having reached a goal was highly prized by Lakewood students, faculty and administrators alike. Al- though the goals varied for each, the sense of achievement was common. For some it was get- ting a driver ' s license or making it through an Advanced Placement British Literature test, while for others it was becoming proficient on the new word processor or getting the lead in a drama department production. Many Lancers spent extra hours studying to achieve grades that would enable them to enter a particular college; others spent uncounted hours lifting weights, practicing for orchestra, writing for the LANCE or training for sports. The goals were academic or athletic, group or individual; but they had one thing in common, accomplishing them was a great source of pride. 1. MRS.
