Great information. I remember the Austin's very well and it is nice to hear Rick's success. I ended up graduating from Clover Park but went all through elementary & jr. high with the Lakes seniors!

I remember the choosing of the colors and team name so well. My dad was on the staff at Clover Park and Lakes and would report on the progress of the decisions nightly at dinner. It was a momentous decision and an exciting time. I graduated with the class 0f 1966, my sister in 1968 and my brother in 1970. Lakes was a great school and innovative for it's time.

Wonderful information! My dad and brother lived in the basement of our just being built house so my brother could play football. First graduating class of 64'. I was at Mann in the 9th grade and lil sis at Lakes in the 7th. Tim wrote a great explanation of colors and song.

Thanks for a great article. Interesting to finally learn about this portion of school history 32 years after graduating from LHS.
