Clear Lake is a spring-fed lake formed by glacial action some 14,000 years ago. It has a surface area of about 3,600 acres and measures seven miles long and two and one-half miles wide. The elevation of the lake is 1,247 feet above sea level and it is nearly 100 feet above the surrounding countryside, giving it the appearance of an inverted saucer setting above the area around it. Its elevation is actually higher than the top of the tallest building in neighboring Mason City.

on July 25, 2009.
Each class notified their members regarding costs, etc. close to the date once all has been finalized.
A note from the author of "Clear Lake: The Earliest Images 1870s and 1880s", Paul C. Juhl
"Although I am not a graduate of Clear Lake High School, I have certainly enjoyed this site for the past couple of years. If every Iowa town could show such creatively, it would certainly increase our pride in the Hawkeye State. But then, Clear Lake is a very special place to all of us who have visited and vacationed there over the years. Paul Juhl" 6 January, 2009
