No, not quite for in one corner was a tiny “e”, that yelled editorial at me every time I saw it. Now the page must be filled but what isn’t, can’t be, so this will not be the dreaded editorial but a greeting to you kind readers and a way to thank the teachers students, and members of the staff for their kind co-operation in the work on this Annual, throughout the year. The task has been new to us all, and we feel we have gained a great deal from its experience. This is the first book ever published by the Lowell High School— to you alumni, friends and students we leave the estimate of i ts worth and bespeak your favorable criticism in behalf of the same.

But is it true? If cne becomes acquainted with the members of a graduating class and is familiar with the little things which go to make up individualities, one becomes certain that all classes are not alike, and that class histories therefore widely differ. Of course, every class believes, and tries to make others believe that they are the most talented, industrious, and thoroughly alive class that has ever existed. 1915 begs no exception to the rule. Just four years ago (not four score and seven) our des¬ tiny brought forth into Lowell High School a rew set of greenhorns, used to their own sweet liberties, and dedicated to the proposition that all classmen are created free and equal, Freshmen not excluded. Since then we have engaged in a great mental struggle, testing whether that class or any class so conceived and so dedicated, can endure four years of school vicissitudes, and come off victorious as Senio v s. Thirty-nine began their High School career in 1911, and after encount¬ ering many new branches so arduous to youthful minds, a large majority, were left to enroll as Sophomores. It takes almost a year to get familiar with the school customs, and be ready to take the initiative. So it was in our second year we began to take an active part in general functions and to invent methods by which to evade quadratics, surds and Ceasar, but still become Juniors. When we were Sophomores one of our number, Faith Viant, won first place in the Lake County Oratorical contest. It was as Juniors that it began to be evident that our class contained as many live wires as the next one. Several of our members held prominent places in all school organiza¬ tions. Our boys were “stars” in the Basket Ball teams. A number of the class were exempt from the finals and extend¬ ed their sincere condolences to their faithful comrades toil¬ ing over the examinations which were to land them over the border into the pleasant pastures of Seniordom. We are now on the last lap, almost ready to leave the cares and joys of a High School that has safely guided our footsteps through diverse and devious paths. This is no doubt the busiest year of the four since there are so many affairs inherent in graduation besides the increase of necessary work- Cur deportment in Physics laboratory is said to be almost as bad as when we were taking Freshmen drawing or in Miss McLean’s assembly. The first “E. B.” team this year is 3-5 Senior and a bet¬ ter team is hard to find. As we now separate to continue making histories for our selves, surely no one will try to be anything but worthy of the precedents set by his comrades or to be other than an honor to the Class of 1915. Lucile Dorris, ’15. In When I was in “Bosting” in 1920 with a company of Ly¬ ceum entertainers we were requested to give a few numbers at the World’s Exposition which was being held there at the time. While waiting for the afternoon’s performance I visited the Indiana building in which I met Fay Hoshaw, celebrated artist and designer of the building. Fay led me to the liter¬ ary department and there I found the article on “The Soul of a Woman” by the great journalist. Fern Hayden was ex¬ hibited as first prize. Henry Poppe was also enlisted in the hall of fame as “0. Henry” the second. With the opening of the programme I observed a pro¬ cession of fine saddle horses headed by the owner Joe Little on the winner, parading around the track but it was soon cleared to give the Athletes room for their feats, especially the runners. My attention was diverted by a handsome man who had joined our party and whom I recognized as Hal Weaver, now a wealthy man who had made his fortune in em¬ balming. When I again directed my attention to the track it cvas to give myself up to the excitement and eagerness with which the crowd was watching the swiftness and gracefulness of the runners. The prominent one who led the race and was the object of the crowd’s cheers seemed strangely familiar to me and as they neared the grandstand I was delighted to see in him, one of my old schoolmates, George Hayden. 3 en¬ thusiastically lent my cheers to the crowds as he reached the goal an arms length ahead of any one else. On going to perform my part of the programme I was informed that my accompanist had been taken very suddenly ill, but that a substitute was being sent in her place. When she appeared I was very much surprised to find that she was Miss Neva Tanner. While giving one of my selections I rec¬ ognized in my audience Miss Garnette Foster seated with about twenty-five children among whom she had been doing settlement work and a very aristocratic looking lady whom I knew as Lila Schmal. I was told later that she was a great benefactress, giving large sums of money to further the work of Garnette. On seeing so many of my friends I determined we should all meet in the evening and have a class reunion. We joined our party again before the races and were in¬ formed that Ed Minninger without doubt would be the win¬ ner, due to his skill as a driver and to the car he was driving which was a “Lambert” manufactured by Floyd Lambert, judge of the supreme court. Also I heard that Cecil Minnin¬ ger was entering the race since the Basket Ball season in New York was over. Cecil had established a world wide rec¬ ord as a Basket Ball star in that city. During the races a California driver was seriously hurt and taken to a hospital. While inquiring as to his welfare we met Lucile Dorris, a Red Cross nurse that had at one time been presented with medals by the kings of Europe for her noble work in the “War of 1915.” That evening Mr. Weaver announced his engagement and as a treat took us all to see “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” during which Ed fell in love with “Little Eva.” —Glen Pletclier, ’15. Class We Seniors have a tale to tell, Of our High School days in old Lowell. The Freshman Class of 1911, Surely was not sent from the realms of heaven, For we were as mischievious and as fresh as any, But not as green and backward as many. And as Sophomores we stood a good show Of being Juniors, don’t you know? And so we were Juniors the very next year And faced our troubles without a fear. But as Juniors we stood the test. And now we rank among the best; We’ve worked this year with brain and hand And scon will leave for an unknown land. Every one knows of the work we’ve done But no one knows of the fights we’ve won Except those who have endured our fate And wait for us at ambition’s gate. Our High School days have been “pecks of fun” But who can know till the race is run How enjoyable the days have been And that they would be glad to live them again. And now jolly Juniors we leave to thee The realms and reins to supremecy; And in so doing you leave your stand And the Sophomores take it at the wave of your hand. And to the Freshmen we give up sway And hope that nothing will them dismay, It ever was a giggling class— But that’s the kind that always pass. Here’s to the teachers of our four years! Here’s to the School we leave with tears! Here’s to the Class so tried and true For they were found to be true blue! “Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate Still achieving, s till pursuing Learn to labor and to wait.” Garnette Foster, ’15. 19 16 Just One More Year Back Row Left to Right— Alice Love Nada Wood Katherine Metcalf Ada Newkirk Bertha Bess Gladys Tilton Grace Hathaway Floy Newkirk Mabell Bruce Agnes Nelson Marna Bess Zelma Anderson Ethel Nelson Lola Mallott Front Row— Vernard Chapman Adam Dorsch George Stuppy Clark Brownell Fay Haskell Dewey Childress Leo Kimmet Harold Griesel Gilbert Pattee Elmer Childress History of the Junior Class One bright morning in September, 1912, a crowd of about thirty Freshmen entered the High School Assembly. We were ridiculed and called “green” by the upper classmen. But it was only a little while they could do this for we began to fade until we were our natural color. Then—look out—we stood for good work. The first year we achieved as much as any Freshmen. Of course, none of us became representatives or senators, but we were ready to begin our Sophomore year. Now that we were Sophs we could laugh at the Freshmen. We organized a Latin Club and all those taking Latin shared in the fun. When it came to the preliminary contest we show¬ ed the upper classmen what we could do; we took first and third place in orations and second in readings. In the declam¬ atory contest we held second place. That year we also won second place in the Track Meet. A “Literary Society” was held every two weeks. In this our class played an active part. The last day of our Sophomore year the Latin Club went to the park for a good time. Each member of the club invited a guest so there were about fifty in all. We roasted wienies and marshmallows and took home as souvenirs, mosquito bites. This year we entered school as Jolly Juniors and every one of us does his level best to keep the former class standard. Six new scholars were added to our number and they help make our class the best of all. A Literary Society in English is held each Tuesday to supplement the regular course. Four of our boys are members of the Boys’ Glee Club and two are on the first basket ball team. More Juniors were exempt from the mid-year examinations than members of any other class. This shows we are not asleep. When spelling was in¬ troduced in the school the Juniors took individual and group honors for exemptions. In the Discussion contest we were given second and third places. Now we are about ready to greet the spring and be no longer Juniors, but Seniors. We hope still to hold our banner high and pass from the High School as extremely dignified Seniors. —Gladys Tilton, ’16. Junior Prophecy As I was sitting in my study one evening I picked up a paper and glanced at the ad of the Lyric Theatre to see what was being shown there. I saw in large print, “Special Holi¬ day Show.” And as I had wondered how I was to pass the long winter evening away, I decided to attend this “Special.” The first picture thrown upon the screen was the “Pathe Weekly” showing Vernard Chapman, now a famous orator, delivering an address to the United States Senate, and Leo Kimmet delivering a speech on Woman’s Suffrage to the Suff¬ ragettes of Washington. Another feature of the Weekly was the famous “Basket Ball Tournament” in which Harold Griesel starred. The Weekly ended by showing Lola Mallott a Mili¬ tant Suffragette and the famous Texas ranch belonging to El¬ mer, Dewey and Clark. A short comedy followed entitled “Somebody’s Fool,” with Adam Dorsch playing the leading role, while Floy and Bertha were taking the parts of two small children. The scene most touching was the one in which Bertha, the smaller child lost the “Dahl.” The next picture was a scene in the Orient featuring the great work of missionaries. In it I recognized Mabel and Kathryn. Between reels several advertising slides were shown. One read, “It pays to advertise in the Gazette, Reyirter Fay Has¬ kell.” Another read, “Maid for General House Work, Applv Merna Bess, Corner of Burr Ave. and Sand St., Rose Lawn, Indiana.” A sketch of “Peter Pan” followed featuring Grace Hathaway (a second Maude Adams.) The next picture was a “Keystone Comedy” entitled “A Mix Up,” in which the Nelson Sisters and Ada Newkirk were cast. Agnes being taken many times for Ethel caused much excitement. One scene of the picture was the Sisters being pursued by the villain and in the pursuit I noticed a tall po¬ liceman running after the villain and I recognized him to be Gilbert Pattee. The last to be shown on the screen was answers to “Movie Fans.” One inquirer asked: “Is Nada Wood still playing with the Kalem?” Answer: No, she quit the screen and has joined her husband, who is a military official at Culver. In pushing through the crowd trying to make my way out I glanced toward the door and I saw two girls acting as ushers dressed in black, with white caps and aprons. I recognized them at once, as Irene and Gladys. As we stood in the lobby of the theatre talking a very aristocratic looking lady passed us. I was informed that she was formerly Zelma Anderson and now the wife of the “Famous Orator.” On inquiring who the operator of the theatre was I learned it was George Stup- py- I left the theatre feeling that the movies had fully taken the place the gypsy oracles formerly held. —Alice Love, ’16. r THE_ 0 LITTLE ?’s.

Thirty-one were enrolled that day, And a very enthusiastic bunch were they; It was of Latin or German they had a choice, But with Algebra they must all rejoice; In Botany and Science some had skill, But in English all could fill the bill. At the contest they took first prize, And in the finals many were surprised, So we passed through that year with much praise. Sophomores When the vacation was passed And the Sophies at last, Were kidded no more, As the year just before, The Laurean Society developed more talent than some did sup¬ pose, And the Glee Club is prospering with two from our rows. The parties we have are surely fine! The Discussion League was quite the same, For one of our girls has won great fame. As for Basket Ball we have our stars, But in Oratory we beat the cars. The mid-year is past, with two from the class; All’s going well, and the end- Who can foretell- —Verne Loyd, ’17. FRESHMEN.

From the north and south, east and west, Came boys and girls so gay; Brave in ribbons and ruffles and dressed in their best Were these forty-six Freshmen that day. Every seat was filled and still There were more, about four or five, Who had to sit with others, until More seats could arrive. Also the hooks in the halls Had to be multiplied, Whereon to hang their scarfs and shawls, And bonnets with flowers beautified. The Freshmen of course must organize; So they elected as if in law, For their president Glen Surprise, And as his vice Ernestine Belshaw. For secretary and treasurer, Wilfred Weaver and Bess Stuppy. In meetings to quiet the noise, So’s to hear our President’s voice, Virgil Scritchfield one of the boys, With his contortions and charms, Was chosen sergeant of arms. First a wieny roast and marshmallow toast, Was given to get acquainted; But it increased their desire for parties most, ’Tis queer they like pai ' ties ain’t it? In basket ball, boys their muscles did strain, Until almost lifeless and lame; In buggies from Belshaw, from Gary on the train, Other boys came, to help in the game. The Christmas Carol, Dickens’ tale, We dramatized, and five, the best Of these were sent one day by mail, To San Francisco in the west. So, through the year lived the Freshman class, And although ’twas of a happy duration Almost every lad, every lass, Was glad when came vacation. —Rosalind Feddeler, ’18. Course of Study FIRST YEAR.

Any student in good standing may enter the home con¬ test, and the ones representing the School is chosen by out of town judges at a preliminary contest. Of the several boys and girls entering the contest here Harry Wheeler and Vera Bess were picked as our represent¬ atives and April the ninth they represented us at Gary Indiana. There were seven Schools competing and we were awarded two fourth places, which we are very proud of. DECLAMATORY. Lucile Brownwell ..... Patsy Hermenia Kimmet .

George Hayden Vice President .Leo Kimmet At no time and in no country has so much attention been given to athletic events as in ancient Greece. Not only did the Greeks aim thereby to attain strength, health, and vitality, but their desire was to develop a mentally healthy, and beau¬ tiful, well proportioned people. The high esteem in which athletic exercises were held is shown by the Olympian games. Great honors were bestowed upon the victorious youths: their names were proclaimed throughout the country and monuments were erected in their native cities. Secretary . Fay Hoshaw Treasurer . Seth Little The Romans rank far behind the Grecians in athletical training. They never placed so high an educational value upon gymnastics as the Greeks did. Public games were ar¬ ranged in Rome and enjoyed by the people, but the flowers of the nation did not partake in them. The participants were mostly limited to the sons of the nobility. The other countries of Europe, England, France, Ger¬ many, etc. have favored athletic sports and adopted them as a part of the curriculum of their schools, thereby combining mental and physical education.

Har¬ vard College equipped the first gymnasium in this country. Other colleges and schools soon followed their example until at the present time every school in the country, that can af¬ ford it, have some form of athletics. In all of the basketball contests during the year a pre¬ mium has been put upon manliness. The “win at any cost” spirit has been discouraged in favor of the spirit of true sportsmanship. The most common forms of athletics in the high schools of today are football, baseball, basket ball, tennis and track. While our team has had one of the most strenuous sea¬ sons in the history of the High School and has been handi¬ capped by not having a warm gymnasium for practice, we In the Lowell High School we have only been able to sup- have won nine of the eighteen games played. port track and basketball.

Forgetting that Lowell was made up of Haydens. When they left their homes they thought they were “it.” For they didn’t dream of a boy like Kimmet. Old War Horse Little had on his paint, And pushed thru without even a faint.

On January 19, 1915, the Junior English Class organized a Literary Society called the Athenaeum. The meetings of the organization are held on Tuesday of each week. The pro¬ grammes are most enjoyable, consisting of music, leadings, debates, biographies, humorous sketches and other bits of entertainment. These meetings have not only been a leciea- tion but also very beneficial and instructive. —Nada Wood, ’16. THE LAUREAN. The Laurean Literary Society was organized by the mem¬ bers of the second year English class, September, 1914. The purpose of the organization is to promote interest in current events, literature, and drama, also to encourage public speak¬ ing. The officers, which are president, chairman of the pro¬ gramme committee and secretary, are elected for a term of eight weeks. Regular meetings are held during the class pel iod on Tuesday of each week. —.4 vis Bryant, Eng.

Listen my teacher and you shall hear A poem I wish was like “Paul Revere.” It doesn’t contain much common sense For being a Freshie I’m very dense. I thought to myself as I wrote this lay—• I’ll sure get “G” for my pains today, But I should worry I’ll never cease, Even tho my grade this does decrease The more I write the worse I get But whatever happens I’ll not fret Never intend to—and never have yet! —Dorsey Right, 18. BASE BALL. Tell me not, while March is flying, School will be an empty dream, For in June we will be crying Just to greet the old ball team. Just to hear them! Just to see them! When they’re getting in good work Any team, they can trim, Not a one will shirk. Let us, then, be up and trying, For a good team next year. Keep your “subs.” and you’ll be flying, And no one need have a fear. —Clayton Davis, ’17. JUSTICE As I walked in the country one summer day. Smelling the fragrance of the new mown hay, A beautiful lark came winging by, Winging, his solitary way. He lit in the stubble not far from me And fed his young ones which numbered three. Then away he flew through the air so blue, And I knew that the One that guided That small bird’s flight, Would surely guide my steps aright. —Glen Surprise, ’18. THE CALL OF To me, it stretches out vague, beckoning hands I feel I hear its free, insistent cry, I do not answer, but my soul understands; The time has not yet come my power to try. I know not what it is and yet I feel it, Urging me on to nobler deeds each hour I realize that all is yet before me, To make or mar, Life’s chances, joy or power. THE SCHOOL HOUSE HALL. A shuffle of feet in the school house hall, A form in the door way—Mr. Croxton was all. In a voice that was deep and clear He called out angrily the two words, “Here, Here.” That was all! And yet thru the gloom and the light, Those poor light Freshmen received a great fright, And now in the hall is a sign bold and tall Which reads “Do not loiter in the hall.” —Velva Moxell, ’18. FUTURE. At times the restlessness tears at my heart strings, Sometimes I feel it is the love of beauty, Or keen desire for better, nobler things. The calmer, saner wish to do my duty. It is the ancient age—old call of life; I long with all the pent up strength within To wage the battle, carry on the strife, To toil exultant, strive and finally win. —Lola Mallott. SOPHOMORES. Now meet the students of this class No names more noble e’er graced the roll of Fame Once—our Freshmen firmness braved the .wrecks of time Now—our Sophomore boldness fans the heroic flame, There’s many a battle we’ve fought daily, That the world knows nothing about; They’re many of us brave little soldiers Whose strength would put a legion to rout; We fight sin single handed, Why—we’re more of heroes I say, Than those—who lead soldiers to battle, And conquer by arms on the fray. —Nellie Brooks, ’17. WINTER. Winter, the loveliest season of the year When ears are tingling and snow storms appear; Oh the fun that we have when we make the snow men, And go for a ride with our big brother Ben. He takes us a ride and we never get cold For, so many good jokes and stories are told. And say! do you like to go sliding down hill? Oh yes we go sliding almost to the mill. Then, we go in with enormous appetites, And eat almost anything that comes in our sights. But, winter is best, for it is so much joy, To see our old grandfather act just like a boy. —Ruble Hayhurst, ’17. LOVE DEPARTS. A time there was when gentlemen wooed with easiness, But, at this time they woo with craziness Once wooers were content to stay till night; Now wooers trade them (on the side). The wooers used to fight to gain a bride, Now wooers trade them (on the side) The ladies always used to choose the brave, And would not consent to men that rave. But times are altered; courting’s unfeeling trains Usurp the love that once came forth in strains; Along parks where vines do climb, Sit giddy lovers with their arms entwined. True love departing, seeks a kinder shore Virtuous love and courting are no more. —Milton McKay, ’17. I’ll fare the lad who a courting goes astray, When love accumulates and brains decay; Lovers and “Loveress” may flourish or may fade; A stroll can make them, as a stroll has made. But the handsome bachelors their country’s pride, When once destroyed ne’er can be supplied. Agriculture Class Right to Left—A. T.

The club consisted of ten boys (right to left) Vern Loyd, Adam Dorsch, Dewey Cihldress, Leo Kimmett, Fay Hoshaw, Edward Minninger, Hal Weaver, Milton McKay, Vernard Chapman, selected by the capable music instructor, Miss Viant (at the left). The club was organized with Fay Hos¬ haw presiding as president, Miss Viant instructor and Lucile Dorris, pianist. The boys sang several times in public, their audiences’ keen appreciation being shown by repeated ap¬ plause. TI N ' CLUB. In the fall of 1913 Miss McLean, the Latin instructor formed a club consisting of Latin students, twenty-four in number. “Sodalitas Latina” has been of value in two ways, first in an educational sense and secondly for its general social value. The people who led this club to success in its initial year were, President, Garnette Foster; Vice President, Cecil Min- ninger; Secretary, Hal Weaver; Treasurer, Gladys Cole; with the assistance of a program and refreshment committee which are indispensable. In the fall of 1914 the club was reorganized with a much larger enrollment. Meetings were held monthly. We feel that this organization is a great help to the work, and hope that it will in future years become more instructive and successful. —Lucile Brownell, ’17.

Happie soon arrives and announces his intention to be a grind for he says he is to be married. Hap¬ pie is noted for his affairs d’amour and soon is busy flirting with a pretty little Freshman, Cherry Carruthers. Quite a crowd of students are assembled by the fence when Epenetus J. Boggs arrives with his son, Aaron whom he is bringing to college. Mr. Boggs soons leaves for Splinterville and the up¬ per classmen proceed to haze Aaron. Lizzy Feeny, now a waitress but once Aaron’s girl “back home” saves him from a ducking in the lake by a clever subterfuge. Act II. Aaron rooms at Mrs. Chubbs and is snubbed by Beau Pep¬ per and Happy until they receive a telegram saying that Aaron is the grandson of S. Boggs, the multi-mlliionaire. He immediately becomes the lion of the school and is shown mark¬ ed attention by Evelyn, the college queen, he forgets Lizzie Maude when he has new friends, runs as candidate for presi¬ dent of Freshman Class. Act III. Gives rapid progress of Jamieson’s and Cherry’s love af¬ fair, the despair of Lizzie when she realizes Aaron has en¬ tirely moved from her horizon. Aaron is elected President of Freshmen Class but the boys discover that the telegram was a fake and that he is no relative of the multi-millionaire. They immediately give him the cold shoulder and Aaron at last finds his true place in college and realizes the “old love is often the best.” F. L.

Hi Miss Pike (in Physics)—“Why is it unsafe to stand up in a canoe, Joe?” Joe, groping for an answer. Miss Pike—“Or would it be safe?” Joe—“Guess it would if you could swim.” Mary had a Thomas cat. It warbled like Caruso. A neighbor swung a baseball bat, And now it doesn’t do so. Mr. Croxton—“If I wanted a brief epigram put on my tombstone I would ask one of you Seniors to do it and it wouldn’t cost my widow much to have it engraved either.” This remark is due to the concise and to the pointed ans¬ wers which the Seniors make. Student—“Mr. Elliott what will cross pollination of milk- w T eed and strawberries make?” Mr. Elliott—“Why it is hard to tell.” Student—“Well it would be nice if they would make strawberries and cream wouldn’t it?” Senior—“What makes that horrible smell of rubber come from the lower hall?” Junior—-“Oh! that’s just some Soph holding a Freshman’s neck over the register.

Students taking Latin III and IV had been learning quo¬ tations from Cicero’s Pro Archia Poeta and disliking the task they asked Miss McLean why she insisted on their learning them. “I like to know them so I can take them away with me,” she answered.

In Civics Class, Fay tries to tell what is done when Con¬ gress first meets. “They call the roll first,” was his final explanation. “Where do they get the roll?” asked Mr. Elliott. Fern just hearing the last part said, “Why at the bake shop.” Hoshaw ' (in his inaugural address to the Senior Class) —“I’ll try to make all I can out of this office.” This is what some of the Juniors have carved on one of the office chairs: “Beat us if you can, L. H. S. ’16.” Glen informs us done is plural. “Nelda what is the fellow’s name that calls on Nada so often ?” “I don’t know. Father never calls him the same thing twice.” Why is Mr. Croxton like a locomotive? Because we look out for him when the bell rings. What should a steam boat captain give Max Ragon?
