The 1943 freshman class of Lakeland High. By this time, the county school buses were bringing students to Lakeland from the other African-American communities along the US Route 1 corridor, from Mount Rainier to Laurel. After 1946, students also were bussed from the Highland Park area of the county until Fairmount Heights Junior -Senior High School opened in 1950.

Left is the Senior Mixer, an opportunity for the class to get to know each other and to take a look at the candidates for senior class officers. Humorously, a bottom right shot shows a student with a stash reading "For President" holding a female student's hand as he talks to her. The caption reads "A candidate took some time out to do some special campaigning." Opposite is the Science Fair - several projects introduced in this won prizes at county and school levels.
