[c]ruor [l]ake

This alluring lake is where the school got the first part of its name. Cruor, loosely translated, means 'blood' in Latin. It was chosen as an appropriate name for the lake because of the sunset. As the sun falls below the horizon, it casts a mixture of rich red and dark shadows across the surface of the glassy lake, giving it a blood-like tinge. This isn't the only reason for its eerie name. It is a common story that a long time ago, a student was murdered there. They say that if you stare for long enough into the depths of its opaque surface, the dead pupil sucks you in.
