Class Obituary By Agnes Nelson. The Senior Class of the Lowell High School breathed its last at Lowell May 26, 1916. It passed away amid the sighs of the great throng who had come from far and near to it’s death¬ bed. For weeks it hovered near the Great Beyond, rallying a few days in hope and then relapsing in woe. The final break¬ down in its health was attributed to the finals, teacher’s ex¬ amination, and the theses. In the death of the Class of 1916, the Lowell High School has lost one of its “gems of purest ray serene.” From its birth it has been pointed out with pride as the most brilliant class in school. It’s clever sayings when a mere child have gone down in the world’s history as a series of remarkable remarks. This Class was born in September, in the year 1912, at Lo¬ well. Lake County, Indiana. It is a descendent of the former senior classes, but as machinery and inventions are bettered year by year, so it has excelled its elders in beauty, morality and intel¬ ligence. At one year of age, it was a remarkable precocious infant who bade fair to reach the summit of earthly achievement. It grew in strength, and, in the second year stood on it’s own sturdy legs. It tried hard to convince others of it’s wisdom, but was called silly. But it plodded bravely on, gaining the longest list of exemptions, and winning first and third in orator) ' , and third in declamatory. The third year it grew in size and wis¬ dom—a jolly class, happy and carefree as the day was long, and entirely free from egotism. It made wonderful progress and won honors on every hand. At the age of four, it was quiet and dignified, working with zeal and energy. But, it’s step became slower, the eye lost it’s brightness and one and all dredicted an early death for the senior class of 1916. This prophesy was fulfilled on the twenty-sixth of May. It leaves to mourn it’s loss a verdant, bunch of Freshies, a healthy, happy set of Sophomores, a sturdy, dependable aggre¬ gation of Juniors and a heart-broken faculty. The Lowell High School will miss it sadly. A place will be left vacant which no other class can ever fill. This class is gone, but not forgotten. May it’s soul rest in peace.
