History of the Cla ss of ‘21 Four years ago the Class of ’21 sailed from the port and entered the troublesome sea of studies in L. H. S. Vivien Kayden being at the prow, steered us safely through the first year of our voyage. During the year a few of our members grew sea-sick and were safely transported on a homeward bound ship, but a goodly number remained faithful to the end. During our very first year on the sea we did not lack the art of entertaining. About the thirty-first of October, 1 917 the Class of ’21 appeared at the High School building rigged out in costumes and prepared to enjoy the evening behind masks. Later a fair was given at which everyone was highly entertained. A few more months passed and ’21 again met at the High School to perceive with pleasure the entertainment given by our own classmates. At the beginning of our second year’s voyage a few of the members of cur crew were missing. We sailed through our second year with Marion Nelson at the prow, who guided us safely through our trials and troubles of school life. In the middle of the September of 1918 the entire High School was invited to attend the “Get Acquainted” party which was given at the H. S. building and at which our class was distinguished from the rest of the classes by wearing caps and bands of our class colors. A few more social events were given during the year and thus ended our career as Sophomores. Our third year found us still on our seaward voyage with Marion Nelson again at the prow steering us straight toward “Success.” That year there were five new members added to our crew. When the Basketball season came it found Vivien Hayden and Russel Burroughs of the Class of ’21 fighting for the Red and Black of L. H. S. A “Fete des Lanternes” was given by ’21, March 6, 1920 at which the mirth of all bubbled over. Then came the zenith of our social functions of 1920, the Junior-Senior Banquet at which the whole crew assembled to entertain our “higher” classmates. The refreshment committee must have thought we were “Acrobats at the Banquet Table” as they served “solid” head lettuce to be eaten with forks. The sea was unus¬ ually rough, the lettuce unusually slippery, and the forks un¬ manageable and as a result the lettuce slipped off the table and into the lap of an embarressed guest. One of the guests happen¬ ed to have retained a knife and everyone envied him. Thus our Junior year came to a close. In the fall of 1920 we could still be seen sailing among the High School Rocks with Hughe Hayden at the prow guiding us safely onward. The Basketball season opened; Vivien Hay¬ den and Russel Burroughs responded to the call for Basketball players. Later in the year a new member named Myron Born was added to our crew. He was not with us long until he became a Basketball star. As Seniors we had not quite forgotten how to entertain, so we gave a Fair at the High School building, October 16, 1920. The building was filled to it s capacity as there was an abundance of laughter in every room. Then on February 11, 1921 the Seniors gave a box social and picture show at the Grand Theatre. The picture was Shirley Mason in, “The Flame of Youth.” There were about forty beautiful boxes placed at the auctioneer’s disposal, one box bringing $17.50. When the time came for ’21 to bid the ship and dear old Lowell High farewell the girls appeared on the scene with white middies and skirts and black ties in true sailor fashion. And now we wish, to those who are still sailing on the troublesome sea of studies, a great success and urge them to remain faithful to the ship. Clara Roorda, Julia Stenerson ’Tis Life When to our Freshie year we passed The breath of Fall was on the grass, And gladsome voices in the air, Told us that care was not known there. But oh, the Sophie intellect, When Freshmen year had its effect, The teachers and the professors, too Alike did on our knowledge view. The Junior year without a tear Did bring us naught of frozen fear, Our castles soared so far mid air It seemed a shame to keep us there. Then to our good old Senior days Our life and joys with music strayed, And now that they must surely cease, We bring this tribute to their peace. Farewell sweet life, we hate to go, But ’tis only fair, it should be so; You have your cares, your trials, your joys, You surely do our years alloy. Julia Stenerson, ’21 Senior Cla ss Prophecy It was just twenty years after the graduation of the Sen¬ ior Class of ’21 that I sat thinking over my High School days; wondering what had become of my classmates. Suddenly a happy thought struck me and I ran to get my Ouija board. Then I seriously asked my old friend, Ouija, to put me in com¬ munication with some of my old school friends. At once the board began to move, rapidly directing me to the address of a certain spiritualist Medium. This rather puz¬ zled me, but as I was in a mood for adventure, I threw my wraps around me and started. After a time, I came to the place, a tumbled down old house on the outskirts of the city of Grasmere. Summoning all my courage together, I went up the rickety steps and knock¬ ed. After what seemed ages to me, sounds, as of shuffling feet came up to the door, and after fumbling around, someone finally opened the door. There I stood, staring into the fea¬ tures of an old white bearded, long haired man, who looked familiar. I eagerly made known my errand, then gave him my card. He looked at it curiously, then said, “Well, well! Is that you? Don’t you remember me, your old friend, Russell Bur¬ roughs?” This astonished me, as he looked very different from when I had seen him last; though his hair still held that beau¬ tiful wave. After recovering from my surprise, I asked him what he was doing there. He sighed regretfully, as lie ans¬ wered, “I’m laid up with the ’riieumatiz,’ so my wife earns the living. She is one of those Spiritualist Mediums, maybe you re¬ member her, Edna Powell. No, don’t ask any questions, but come on in. She saw you coming, so is now getting ready for one of those meetings. So saying, he opened a door and ushered me in. There, seated on the floor, was my chum of former days, now almost unrecognizable, looking like a gypsy hag or witch. “Oh!” she shrieked, “Come on in, Ethel, and sit down. Quit talking to my husband, I’m not dead yet. Russell! Will you hustle and hurry from this room? Or shall I come over, ana beat you with this broom.” At these words, poor Russel fled. I shall not attempt to describe Edna’s motions, mumblings, and horrible cries as she summoned a spirit to speak to me. Finally, with her glassy eyes fixed on the wall, she com¬ menced in a low monotonous voice, “The spirit of Leslie Schultz is here to communicate with you.” He says to tell you that he was lately sent with the U. S. troops to punish the profi¬ teering Eskimoes in Alaska. But was killed by an unapprec¬ iative native, to whom he was reciting poetry.” I was about to interrupt when she continued, “Hughe Hayden went with him, as a minister. He remained there and is now trying to convert the Eskimo children from their habit of eating raw meat. It is rumored that it is just one little girl in particular, that he is trying to convert.” Edna then turned to me and asked if there were any questions 1 would like to ask the spirit. “Yes,” I said, “I would like to know the fate of my other classmates.” So, after jerking her head and gasping for breath, the old woman continued, “Azalia has a very high position, as she is the most expert stenographer employed by a famous shoe¬ maker in Chicago.” “Helen Morey supports herself, and her husband, by cro¬ cheting bedroom slippers, at other times she clerks in a barber shop, Mary Holton, who has become quite wealthy from her shoestring shop, lives on the same street as Helen. Mary has never married, as she says all men are either foolish or simple.” By this time I was quite excited and could hardly wait for Edna to proceed. “Theron Wilder has gained distinction by his ability as an expert door knob polisher.” “Lester Davis, through hard work has gained for himself and wife, Esther Ault, a position in a Chinese laundry, where their only duty is entertaining visitors.” Here the medium stopped and tapped on a little bell. I asked her if that was all, but she just said, “Hush!” Then the door opened and a sad faced woman came in with ' a glass of water. I immediately recognized her as Marguerite Minninger. While Edna was drinking the water, Marguerite siezed the opportunity to whisper to me, “1 hired out as their maid a few days ago as I believe there is a treasure hidden here. Vivien Hayden, the country school teacher, near here, is helping me look for it.” Then she hurried out. After a series of tappings on the floor, Mrs. Burroughs commenced again, “Alta Sutton has bought a half interest in Kelley’s pop corn wagon; also she is making money fast by selling stock in the new found oil wells on her estate. Julia Stenerson and Clara Roorda, still in Lowell, and although they are happily married, both are running for office as candidates on the “House Wife’s Labor Party.” As Fred Hepp, the weather prophet, who has his office on a dry goods box in Grant’s store near the Gum counter, sas “They certainly are apt to win.” Elsa Poppe, of the same town, has left for Shelby where she will take up a special course in the art of weaving market bas¬ kets. Elsa is to be married next fall, so wants to prove to her husb and, her skill at housekeeping.” The Spirit is being called away now,” said the Medium, “to give advice to Edna Tanner as to wether she shall trust Queene Weaver to pay for a bottle of her remedy for freckles. Edna Tanner is a traveling quack doctor, while Queene is still the unhappy vamp, having already divorced three husbands. Queene, however, is able to support herself and eight children, without the aid of a husband; for she takes up tickets at the free lecture courses, where Vernon Stillson is describing his attempts to catch whales in Cedar Lake, and also telling of wild chickens and mud turtles, which live near his home.” After leaving here, I was amazed to see a large sign board signifying that Myron Born, the Worlds Champion Basketball player was now a player on Yale’s team. I resolved to go and see Mike use his fists, again. Then slowly walking homeward, thinking of my friends’ different fortunes, I was suddenly startled by a cry of “Help the Blind, Madam !” As I turned to view the blind man, he cried, “Why, Ethel, I didn’t know you!” “Well,” I said, “Cecil Murr, it won’t do for you to tell me you are blind.” ,• -f “Aw!” said Pete, “I just was trying to get enough dough to take me to some good summer resort.” As I was going on then, after meeting Pete, a car drove up to me and stopped. “Get in and we’ll take you home,” some one cried. I knew who that was. It was no one but Marion Nelson, who as assistant farmerette, was working for the Lowell Society Leader, our former teacher and Class advisor, Marion, was having one of her five afternoons off a week, and was out taking a ride with the chauffeur, George Nomanson, a man well learned in Mechanical things. So I hurried to the car and was speedily driven away. Ethel A. Vinnedge Lament” We hate to leave you dear old L. 11.

And now we must leave you with many tears For we have many things before us yet, Unknown things we have neither seen nor met.

Signed: The Seniors of ’21 The CIqlss of 4 21 We Seniors, don’t you know, or so they say, Grow wiser now from day to day. We’re Seniors! such a handy tool, By which the teachers run the school. Four years ago when we came in. They say we raised an awful din; That all the rest stepped back, amazed, While eyes grew large as on us they gazed Then grew we Freshies up so smart, The teachers said we could take part, In all the doings of the year. Then raised there up a mighty sneer, From all the upper classmen near. We’ll say the money tumbled in. For we had to get a great big bin, To hold it! but if we’d have had much less, The banquet wouldn’t have been such a success. So now we Seniors can sit up, For haven’t we won the Victory Cup? We do deserve a place in the sun; So cheer forever, the class of ’21. —E. Vinnedge. VC fWL ; T i. w -I3£f- o.. � PR N l Round Armen TABLt A550CIAW flCTIV Tin SCHOOL SMPOCKtT •••• T JUNIORS.

Junior Cla ss History ’Way back in 1918 we entered Lowell High School, a class of unsophisticated Freshmen. In the beginning we were just shy little folks but now we think we have quite outgrown that stage, at least the “bashful” side and our childish faults. With what awe, we regarder the brilliant upper classmen, those “high-browed” Seniors, and accomplished Juniors. One of our first social endeavors was a masquerade ball, to which the faculty was invited but sad to say, no one came but our class advisor. That was hard luck, nevertheless our attempt was better next time. For all the advice that we received from the “delightful” Seniors, one of our Freshmen girls carried the victory, in the Liberty Loan Essay Contest, over several upper classmen—but we might also add that she was so nervous that she nearly snatched the prize, a German Helmet, from the hands of Mr. Hugh Clark, before he had finished his presenta¬ tion speech. In this same year one of our boys won second place in the local oratorical contest. Of course we felt real “puffed up” ovei ' this new fame. We completed our Freshmen year with a few failures and we left school for vacation with pleasant memories of our first year. The next fall we again entered Lowell High School, but this time with much more knowledge and experience. Our second year brought better results in every field of activity and was much less embarrassing than our first. How much above the insignificant Freshies we felt! Now we were really somebody and felt as though we were a vital part of the High School. We engaged in several affairs which were carried thru with success, until at last we marvelled and wondered “how our small heads could carry all we knew.” In due time vacation came and we left the “house of wisdom” with happy thoughts of the past year. When school opened this autumn, we again returnea ap¬ preciating more the noble attempts of our several faculties in helping us reach another milestone of our High School career. We Juniors really don’t know what will become of us because you see, everybody is so interested in the class welfare and gives counsel and assistance so freely. However it is a great help since we receive inspirations and advice “galore.” Never¬ theless we are really and truly upper classmen now and are “0” so much more dignified than those “children” below us. We entered into the social activities this year with more vivacity and earnestness. First among our many successes was the picture “Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come,” for the benefit of the class. We have taken part in Athletics, espec¬ ially Basketball. Three girls were on the team, one of them being the star. Not only did we shine in Athletics, parties etc., but also in our studies. Out of the eight pupils who were ex¬ empted, four were Juniors. Our class party held at the home of one of the class came next, at which all the teachers were present, at any rate we all had a good time and Superintendent O’Bryan retained several souvenirs. The school year is drawing to a close and we all look for¬ ward into the future with higher ideals and aspirations, hop¬ ing, yet with regret, to successfully reach the end of our High School career. We will pass on to our Senior year when school again opens, likewise we bequeath to all Juniors to be, what w r e have been and we heartily hope they may fill the vacancy as capably as we did. As Seniors, we pledge ourselves to “work while we work,” “play while we play,” and uphold and honor the name of our school thru thick and thin. —P. E. K. and D. H. C. Cla.ss of ‘22 1. Way back in nineteen we started out. We were just Freshies, each a good scout, Then we had both study and play With always the thought of being gay. 2 . We picked up members along the way And made our class what it is today. We all like fun and we like to work And we hope that in life we’ll never shirk. Now we’re Juniors of Twenty-one And we feel that our work is just begun, But when we get ready to face the test We’re going to try to rank with the best 4. Oh dear old class of Twenty-two We’ll regret when we must bid you adieu And when our work unknown will be, We all will revel in memories of thee. —E. V.

History of the Sophomore Class On September 1st, nineteen hundred and nineteen, forty- one pupils registered in the Lowell High School as Freshmen. For the first few days we were in a very unsettled condition as we had heart failure every time the bell rang, because we had difficulty in remembering to what class we were to go next, or in what room that class recited. But gradually the daily routine was learned and we soon felt as important as the dignified Seniors. During the first week of school, we called a class meeting and a noisy mob gathered in the Mathe¬ matics room. Elliott Belshaw was elected President; Malcolm C. Pattee, Vice-President; Sylvia Rudolph, Secretary; and Mar¬ guerite Bowman, Treasurer. Later in the year, Elliot expressed a desire to withdraw and Neil was chosen to fill his vacancy. Miss Beers, teacher of Home Economics and Music, was chosen class advisor. On account of our bashfulness, however, we waited months before we had any class parties or social events. Suddenly we realized that we were not becoming acquainted very rapidly, so we held a class party at the home of Marguerite Bowman, and later in the year we were entertained at the home of Anita Daum. We were brought into prominence several times dur¬ ing our Freshmen year. At the County Track Meet held at Crown Point, May 8, 1920, Raymond Kimmet won first place in the half mile run. Eudora Dye won second place in the Oratorical Contest at Lowell, April 2, 1920. This year as Sophomores, we returned to the Lowell High School with better individual spirit as well as better class spirit. Although ten members of our class decided that life outside of school was more attractive, we still have thirty-five, owing to four new-comers, namely; Mary Osby, Leslie Bruce, Walter Carlin, and Harold Trump. At our first class meeting of this school year we elected Malcolm Pattee, President; Mar¬ guerite Bowman, Vice-President; Anita Daum, Secretary; and Sylvia Rudolph, Treasurer; Miss Beers was again chosen our class advisor. The Sophomore Class has had a fine representation in dif¬ ferent school activities. They won first place in the spelling contest, second in the four fundamental processes of Arith¬ metic contest, and were the first class to have a complete en¬ rollment in the Athletic Association. The High School Athletic records show that our class has a good representation in Basketball, as Raymond Kimmet, Neil Bahr, Sherard Henry, and Elwin Love all play on the first team and various others have a high standing in Basket¬ ball. The Sophomore girls are represented in Athletics as Sylvia Rudolph, Ruth Taylor, and Bertha Stenerson are on the Girls’ Basketball team. We feel sure that there are excellent chances for our class to keep its prominence in school activities through the work of these and many others whose names have not been mentioned. There is also much hidden talent which will be developed later toward which we look with the determination to succeed. Malcolm C. Pattee Ovir Sophomores Listen, my friend, and you shall hear Of the wonderful deeds of the Second Year, On September first, in Nineteen-Nineteen Many will remember with highest esteem That great day and year. A lot of Freshmen of emerald hue, Objects for fun and a class without favor. Proved it a class, able and ready: That was all! and yet upon our Prowess and good cheer, The fate of a class was waiting that year; And the progress and ability showed by lads and lasses Alarmed the teachers and all other classes. So thru each year to the last That dignified, intellectual class Toward its goal will strive. We are those who the victory o’er Density hold, And a class that shall be remembered forevermore. In the hour of darkness, peril and need, The future classes will listen and heed, To the stories told of the Twenty-Threes. —Sylvia Rudolph Delbert Stephenson, Class Advisor Joseph Kanaar George Richter Marshal Sanger Harold Sutton Frank Einsphar Oliver Surprise Virgil Philips Kenneth Gordon Ralph Tilton Claudie Hayden Robert Driscoll Ernest Wool ridge Edith Foster Mildred Pixley Velma Nomanson Ruth Hale Thelma Clark Gladys Dickinson Aline Scritchfield Ruth Thompson FRESHMEN.

The eyes of the upper class- men were scrutinizing us so closely that our bravery soon de¬ serted us. Our teeth began to chatter, and we shook as though with a chill of the ague and we suddenly felt very small and in¬ significant. Some of us were fat, some lean, some tall and some short, but all of us wore that backward, bashful smile which we now know marks a Freshman. After we had seated ourselves in different parts of the Assembly we were given cards to fill out. Oh, how grateful we were for the aid the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors ren¬ dered us in this, our first task. Following the upper classmen into the different rooms, we soon discovered that we had our recitations in other rooms. After going to all the classes, and after the assignments were given for the next day, we ventured back to the Assembly. School then was dismissed, but none of us have ever forgotten that memorable day. In reality, the work was easy at first but to us every fallen twig seemed like a dozen saw-logs. The hill seemed al¬ most impos sible for us “Freshies” to climb and we wondered why knowledge had ever been invented. But we kept on, and after a few days the sun shone brighter. The Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors began to hold class meetings, and by various inquiries we discovered their pur¬ pose. So after several days struggling we assembled and elect¬ ed our officers. Mr. Stephenson was chosen as our class advisor, while Claude “Cop” Hayden was made President of this lively bunch; Kenneth Gordon, Vice-President; Franklin Petry, Treasurer and Margaret Osgood, our Secretary. During the year two Freshmen parties were given at which we were royally entertained. The first was held at the home of Margaret Osgood and the second at Edith Foster’s home. In these fatal days of breaking in, we have already learned well the lesson that writing notes is a dangerous pastime and that chewing gum is not a non grata. The Freshmen boys and girls both made an attempt at Athletics and succeeded. One of the first team players is a Freshman and the class is very proud of Claude. If our class continues as it has started we have a bright outlook for the future before us. —Catherine Degnan, ’24 Freshmen Cle ss Poem We Freshmen had an awful time When we first entered old Lowell High. A getting started at everything, ’Cause we were so sheepish and shy. Our first class meeting was held About the fourth week of school, But things went on pell mell, ’Cause some were stubborn as a mule. Then later on we had another And chose our President, Claudie Hayden, And then the flower and the color And our Secretary, Margaret, a sweet little maiden. As the weeks rolled on and on and on, We learned more every day. Right now with all our knowledge. It’s almost the 20th of May. But still we have some more to do. We a.en’t all thru yet. � We’ll have another class party or two, So we can say good bye where we met. We haven’t done much, we don’t know why, Only in Athletics. And there really was so much of that, It left no time for headaches. Well school’s near out, And we don’t care. If you don’t believe you wait and see. And when we meet again, Hip! Hip! Happy, Sophos we’ll be. Miltrida Edmonds, ’24 Course of Study Freshman Year— English, Algebra, Latin, Agriculture, Botany, Manual Training, Home Economics, Grammar, Music and Early Euro¬ pean History, Sophomore Year— English, Algebra, Latin, Plane Geometry, French Early European History, Agriculture, Home Economics, Grammar, Botany and Music. Junior Year— English, Medieval and Modern History, Latin, Home Eco¬ nomics, Plane and Solid Geometry, Civics, Physical Geography, U. S. History, Botany, Music, Grammar, Physics and Commer¬ cial Arithmetic. Senior Year— English, U. S. History, Civics, Latin, Physics, Commercial Arithmetic, Physical Geography, Agriculture, Grammar, Home Economics, Botany, Stenography, and Music. Requirements for graduation— English 6 credits, Algebra 2 credits, Plane Geometry 2 credits, History, (which may include Civics) 2 credits, Science 2 credits, Elective subjects 14 credits. A credit is a successful semester’s work in a subject re¬ quiring not less than five recitations a week, the recitations being not less than forty minutes. The laboratory period to be counted must be twice the length of a recitation period. Commercial Thus far in the history of the L. H. S., there has been no commercial department, but the year of 1921 marks a new era along this line. This course which consists of Typewriting and Stenography is the most practical course, to the student, that has ever been offered. We feel very proud of the fact that we have been able to have one in our school. The typewriting room is equipped with twelve machines, and we think this is fine for a beginning. The commercial class is enjoying the work and also pros- Depacrtment pering. They have nearly completed their course in Shorthand and are accurate and fast workers on the typewriters. The Bookkeeping class, which was taught the first sem¬ ester was an interesting course and very practical as it was conducted on business like basis. We feel that with these three main subjects along with Commercial Arithmetic and English, that the Lowell High School can turn out some fine stenographers. STENOGRAPHY AND TYPEWRITING CLASS Oratory The High School did not realize as great a success in num¬ bers this year as we wished, but we have in quality. Although the contestants had only a short time to give to the oratory work they surely made that short time a golden time. Due to the faithful work of Mr. Dickey, the instructor, and to the girls interest and hard work we were able to put out three fine speakers. We hope that next year the number will be larger, but never can the quality be any better. The county oratorical was held April 15, at Gary. We are very proud that we had a contestant to go to Gary, and to the girls that have gone, we wished success, and to the girls that will go we wish success. LIST OF CONTESTANTS.

The Skyrocket is the first paper ever gotten out by the Lowell High School; but determined, as they were from the start to get out a paper that would beat all others, they have gained their point. The real aim of the Skyrocket is to instill school spirit, put our school in rank with others, to train the pupils in such work as a High School paper affords and to make the High School more interesting to outsiders. A staff was picked out early in the school year, and thru their diligent work, and thru the work, aid and criticisms of the instructors they were able to get out the first issue on October 20, 1920. The paper consists of editorials, society and school news, athletic reports, stories, poetry and essays written by the High School pupils. The price of the paper is cne dollar per year or ten cents a single copy. Most of the pupils became subscribers, and a good many outsiders. We are proud to say that our paper is wide spread as it goes even to the Philippines. Thru the criticisms of some of the other school papers we have endeavored to make our paper worthy of their praise, and we have succeeded. Our great issue was put out December 22, 1920. It was a Christmas number and was our prize issue. Now that the school year is drawing to a close, we feel that great honor is due Mr. O’Bryan, for starting us along the right path, to Dick Osgood for his diligent work as Editor-in- Chief, and to all the sub-editors of the Skyrocket. The Staff has truly worked hard to put out a good paper and they have—and to them all honor is due. The R ovmd Table Society The Round Table Society consisting of students and Facul¬ ty of Lowell High School was organized during the first part of the year with Mr. Stephenson as president, Richard Osgood, as vice-president and Queene Weaver as Secretary-Treasurer. The purpose of this society shall be of a general literary character, the program shall consist of discussions on topics of current interest, of readings, and of musical numbers. It was decided that the meetings w.ould be held twice each six weeks period. A small membership fee of twenty-five cents was assessed. The meetings have proved very pleasing especially the impromptu debates on very important questions, such as, Re¬ solved : That one should not have more than one date night a week; That military training should be introduced into this High School, etc. This society furnished the program for one of the Parent- Teacher meetings this year by giving a debate, Resolved: That foreign immigration into the United States should be stopped for a period of two years; by musical numbers, and by read¬ ings. Many of our seventy-five knights who have joined this organization have found the training very beneficial in giving them confidence to speak before an audience, an accomplish¬ ment which we hope everyone may attain before leaving high school.

Curtis Rigg Queene Weaver The athletic association of L. H. S. was organized during the second week of school and the above officers elected for the year. The Lowell High School Athletic Association is formed among the student body and faculty. The requisite for mem¬ bership is a genuine interest in the athletic life of the school and the payment of an annual membership fee of twenty-five Everyone who desires to take part in the athletics is given the opportunity. If a student fails to gain a place on one of the representative teams, he is in no way barred from partici¬ pation in the play. ■ L. H. S. Varsity V. HAYDEN (Bib) Captain and Floor Forward Is a veteran of three years and the team was built around him. You can’t find his equal in com¬ parison to his stature. This is his last year and the boys will surely miss him. “He’s a good old sport to say the least.” K. KIMMET (Kim) Forward Has the reputation of a dead shot. A good steady player and can always be relied on. Two more years to play. M. BORN (Mike) Floor Guard A very scrappy player and always right there, and his equal is hard to find. Last year in High School. S. HENRY (Hank) Back Guard The stonewall of the team and his business was to stop any one from scoring, and he did. It was a case of do or die with him. Two more years to play. E. LOVE (Perk) Center He acted as a keystone in keeping the machine going, also has a good eye for baskets. Two more years to play. R. BURROUGHS (Russ) A sure shot from any position and always ready to cheer the other fellow up. Last year to play. N. BAHIt (Bahr) Guard A good steady player who sure lives up to his name, for they all stop when he starts in. Two more years to play. C. HAYDEN (Cop) Guard Another one of them, (Hayden’s) and he surely is a sticker, but 0 My! Three more years to play. —Eugene O’Brien, “Our Coach.” Athletics The term has of late been definitely applied to recognized contests of physical skill and endurance for pastime and for the development of bodily strength. These are commonly di¬ vided into two classes—track and field games and gymnastic performances. The former include the running or walking of various distances, hurdling, high and broad jumping, pole- vaulting, throwing the hammer, putting the shot, baseball and football. The latter comprises the use of Indian clubs, dumb¬ bells, parallel and horizontal bars, weight lifting, tug of war, basketball and various other exercises. The Lowell High School is only able to support track, baseball and basketball for the lack of a good gymnasium and suitable equipment. In basketball this year, Lowell has been quite successful winning 15 out of 22 games played, considering the fact that we had to build up a team of new inexperienced men but two, due to graduation last year. Next year however, Lowell should be one of the strongest teams in this section as only two reg¬ ulars are lost by graduation. LIST OF BASKETBALL GAMES. Won 15 Oct. 29. Lowell 90 Nov. 3.

Cecil Murr Captain Sharpe. Leslie Schultz Wigson. Lester Davis John Brown. Mrs. Jack Temple- Dor othy.... Mrs. Frank Fuller Mrs. Brown...... Hughe Hayden Azalia Ragon Marion Nelson .Esther Ault Queene Weaver SYNOPSIS. The play is laid at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Temple, Mayfair, London. Act I. Morning in the home of the Temple’s. Mr. Temple has been away all night. Mrs. Temple is very angry. Wigson, the butler, sides in with his master. Mr. Temple comes home. Tells his wife that he got stuck in a Ferris Wheel, and couldn’t get down. She does not believe him. She threatens to leave him. Mrs. Fuller comes after her field-glasses which she loaned to Mr. Temple in the Ferris Wheel. His old friend, Frank Fuller drops in on him, Jack explaines the situation to him. So they decide to lie to Mrs. Temple. First they lie gently, then picturesquely, then gorgeously. Jack tells his wife that he stayed at an old friends house over night, a John Brown. Mrs. Temple telegraphs him to come and see her. Mr. Fuller visits her as Mr. Brown and all is settled rightly. Act II. Afternoon at the Temple home. Captain Sharpe is in love with Dorothy but Jack gives his consent to the marriage. The real Mr. and Mrs. Brown appear on the scene. Captain Sharpe threatens to tell Mrs. Temple about the ■woman in the Ferris Wheel, so Mr. Temple gives his consent to their marriage. Act III Captain Sharpe wins Dorothy. Mrs. Fuller ap¬ pears on the scene in search of a butler. After a series of mis¬ haps and lies, the truth is at last explained. The play well shows the truth in Sir Walter Scott’s saying, “0, what a tangled web we weave, when fii’st we practice to deceive.” Girls Basket Ball Team S. Rudolph (Capt.), Center D.

This glee club was one of the best in the history of the High School’s career. By hard work and faithful practice, they produced a splendid operetta called, “The Gypsy Rover.” This operetta success was due largely thru the co-opera¬ tion of the Girls’ Glee Club. The characters were perfectly ac¬ quainted with their parts, and the technique of the stage. A great deal of credit is due to these players because they prac¬ tically immortalize their operetta to the people of Lowell. This year the club is planning on giving another operetta entitled, “Cherry Blossom,” one dealing with quaint old Japan. They are diligently at work, and if their hopes become mater¬ ialized, it will compete with the “Gypsy Rover” and share its envious laurels. Ye friends of L. H. S. harken! In years to come, give the Boys Glee Club entertainments your good will and stead¬ fast patronage. And lastly we extend our appreciation to Mrs. Kimmet, whose inexhaustible patience produced some very good singers, actors and players. She made the work inter¬ esting and instructive and all of the members thoroughly en¬ joyed belonging to the organization. —Cecil Murr, 21 Girls Glee Clvib The Girls’ Glee Club was organized November 11, 1920. The aim of the Club is to live up to what it has already done and be a great deal better this year than ever before. By work only do we attain the goal to which we are long¬ ing; and so the girls have worked, hard and long. Wednesday is the regular meeting night of the Club, and always the girls are there. Thru the earnest endeavor and good instruction of Mrs. Kimmet they have been successful in their aim. Last year they aided the Boys Glee Club in giving the operetta “The Gypsy Rover,” a pretty story of gypsy life. This year the two Glee Clubs co-operating will give an operetta entitled “Miss Cherry Blossom.” A whimsical story of old Japan. The success of the Clubs, both Girls and Boys is due to their unfailing work and to the splendid instruction, patience and work of Mrs. Kimmet. —Azalia Ragon 22 Bright Sayings by L. F. Davis Say, I’m some drawer—I drew a picture of a hen the other day and threw it in the waste basket and it laid there. I saw a horse race once where one of the horses stuck out his tongue to win the race. I went to the city the other day and when I got off the train I saw a sign on a car which read “Any part of the city for 50c.” I made up my mind to buy a quarter’s worth. This was told by Izzy Cute in Commercial Arithmetic. Is a baker broke when he is making dough ? Does the ocean’s bed have springs? Could you give relief to a window pane? Can you Catchup with the beans? Sign at the Butchers—“The best you can do is buy our wurst.” When in the show one night an announcement was made “Tomorrow night we will show ‘Driven From Home’ in three parts.” “That’s what I’d call brutal,” sighed a woman in the rear of the theatre. Sign in the butcher shop “Tongue 48c; Brains 33c.” There must be several women around that shop. I saw an advertisement in the paper which read “Your Baby Enlarged, Tinted, and Framed, $8.79.” Sign in a music store “ Keep your eye on ‘The Girl You Love’ and thirty others.” Doughnuts like mother used to make. The same kind of centers. Several of our Seniors can put the “pep” in “pepper.” The High School Orchestra is playing now “Father hasn’t Spoken to Mother Since.” If that wouldn’t livin’ you up, you’re a Quaker.” I was reading where a man fell out of a thirteen story window and lit in a wheel-barrow. He sat there and laughed about it. The wheel-barrow tipped over and killed him. Sign outside of a town “It is getting warmer than the deuce. 1 mile to H—weg’s Grocery Store.” You tell ’em Oyster you’ve been stewed. “Do you know Jake.” “Why, I worked on the farm with him three years one summer at school.” I DENT I GRAPH 5 , t L Vi o III T SCANDALS 2 O ' clock Edition STILLSON GIVEN GREAT HONOR Mr. Vernon Stillson, a member of the class of ’21, has re¬ ceived an honor which is seldom bestowed on one of his years and experience. He has been chosen from a large number of applicants, as publicity man for the Holy Rollers, an influen¬ tial organization now operating thruout the United States. We extend congratulations to Mr. Stillson. “Mike” Born, an honored and loyal student of the Lowell High School, has taken out his naturalization papers at the County Clerk’s office at Crown Point, and is anxiously await¬ ing the time when he may become a citizen of the United States. Mr. Born was formerly a resident of Illinois but now intends to stay away from there. Mr. Dickey, of the Nutology Department gave a most inspired and lengthy talk at the Tuesday Meeting of the Wo¬ man’s Club. The subject of his lecture was the “Whatness of Is.” The speaker was enthusiastically received and was encored, upon which he gave his famous renowned address, “Where the Whiteness in the Snow Goes.” WINS CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR SAVING GIRL. Elliot Belshaw was awarded the Carnegie Medal, Wednes¬ day at a reception given in his honor. Last Tuesday night hav¬ ing dates with two girls, “Bel” heroically saved one for Sat- urdy night. “Bel” is to be praised for his undue skill and cool¬ ness during the entire affair. May 1, 1921 Richard Osgood had booked passage for Egypt sailing May 18. We understand that “Dick” had bought the harem belong¬ ing to the Sultan, which he says, is going to be run purely on a modern basis. His friends were indeed surprised owing to the fact that he was always proclaimed a “Woman Hater.” Dick’s favorite words now are: “Just picture me sitting on a car¬ peted floor, Telling the servant to bring wife ninety-four.” WHAT? The assembly seats and desks of the L. H. S. have been donated to the starving Armenians, having been substituted by huge, soft, stuffed upholstered chairs. The backs may be lowered or raised, while mamouth pillows of downy duck feathers are at the head. Footstools are supplied for those who wish them. Tiny tables complete each set, which alw-ays contain a box of his or her favorite chocolates, chewing gum, and freshly roasted, long jointed, rocky-mountain peanuts to be disposed of at will. A movie is shown every ' morning except Wednesday, when some musical comedy is given. “Mecca” has been the most popular with the students so far. There are rest rooms for those who were either out late the night before, or have become weary because of overstudy. Davenports of the “Sink Forever” make, constitute the lower hall, where ice¬ cream, cake, and lemonade are served during the five minute periods. There are small dimly lighted alcoves for those girls who are not permitted to entertain their gentlemen friends at home. Dancing had been substituted for Latin, the poor students actually being forced to spend two hours a day to that uplifting study. Limousines await the students at the end of their school labors, whence they are delivered to their homes. We, the students of the High School wish to extend our thanks to the school board for their action in the bettering of school life. The faculty have been in session all day, having their meals sent to them, for they are trying to decide how to punish two Junior girls and two Senior boys who were strolling up and down Liberty Street, star gazing at the moon. The regulations of 1928 state that dates and stroll ing went out of date during that year. The punishment will prob¬ ably be severe enough that the offense will never be again com¬ mitted. Lowell Hi in. ‘31 EXPELLED! Victor John Roberts and Junior Kenney were expelled from school yesterday for chewing on the campus. Where these boys obtained the gum is not knowm, but Officer Theron Wilder smells a blind pig. Not only did these boys disobey the rules of the school, but they also violated the one hundred and fifth amendment to the constitution of the United States, better known as the Chewing Gum Act. The boys are now out on $10,000 bail. Jazz music and shouts of laughter floated thru the win¬ dows of the home of Hughe Hayden at the late hour of ten o’clock last evening. The police were summoned and the place raided, whereat the crowd was rounded up and spent the night quietly in jail. It was understood that Punch was to be served at a party given by the fast younger set, Wednesday. However, upon investigation, it was found to be a mistake as no condemning lemon-peel or glasses were to be found, and none of the crowd would confess to having drunk any. This would have been a grave mistake, for the Town Ordinance forbids drinking any¬ thing outside of Pasteurized Water. Queene Weaver Where You Will Find-- HELEN MOREY .At home between 1 P. M. 4 P. M.
