History and Evaluation In the winter of 1974, Pastor Klase began to talk about having a Christian School, and by September of the same year Lykens Chris¬ tian School was opening its doors to its first students. It was a challenge to look forward to being educated in an at¬ mosphere that was filled with higher principles and Christian ideals. The first year was soon epded with a note of great success. The Lykens Christian School was all one would expect and more. In fact the Lykens Christian School was so successful that two more schools were started because of thfe successfulness of L.C.S. Both of these schools also appear to be successful. The second year, 1975-76, saw an increase in enrollment, and also an increase in the amount of subjects offered to the students. The school was growing numerically and academically. It should be noted here that great Sacrifices have been made to make the school the success it is. The school personnel have made great sacrifices of time and finances. The parents have sacrificed to give their children a Christian-oriented education. Many people have given substantial gifts to provide for needs in the school program. The challenge to be trained in a Christian School with Christian teachers and Bible oriented lessons is something every parent and student should seriously consider today. If we are going to have a better generation of young men and women, it must start with Bible oriented education. GOD must be in the classroom. JESUS and HIS TEACHINGS must be the founda¬ tion of all learning. The HOLY SPIRIT must be given HIS place as our guide. Lykens Christian School holds forth the infallible WORD OF GOD as the only true foundation stone upon which a life must be built in order to be truly successful. Your work and prayers and sacrificial gifts for Lykens Christian School are always deeply appreciated. Thank You (Read by Roy Teter, Jr. — Baccalaureate, May 30,1976.)

TRIBUTE TO WHOM TRIBUTE IS DUE, HONOR TO WHOM HONOR ... It is fitting that a yearbook be dedicated to someone. Since the fall of 1974 Lykens Christian School has been blessed by the teaching ministry of Mrs. Loleta Koppenhaver. This year is the first year she hasn’t had an active teaching role . . . we miss her. Mrs. Koppenhaver was a public school teacher for 31 years; she readily adapted to Christian School procedures and became a valuable part of the educational process here. Though seemingly unnoticed in the passing throng, she played a major role in the development of character in the lives of the students. Her faithfulness to her Lord, her church and her school is exemplary. Much of her service here at L.C.S. was a labor of love and no remuneration was given or expected. As a staff we are inspired by her dedication and challenged by her commitment. The only way we know to express our meaningful appreciation toward her is by our continued service in the task she held so dear; the task of teaching girls and boys, not only about life but how to live.

Top to Bottom: Ron Lucas, Gene Paul, Robert Romberger, Jeff Teter, Karl Wickard Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17. J Glenn and Cindy Stoneroad —Janitors We appreciate the people that are a part of our Church and School family. The persons contained on these pages are only a token representation of all the people who are responsible for a successful school. We are grateful for all the “extras” that people do; Mr. Snyder as our fix-it man, the Stoneroads doing a tremendous job as janitors, Mr. Ed Jones helping with boys gym this year. THANX
