Then homeward down the weary way, with not a sign of day Shining through the whispering leaves. “All’s well,” they say. We’ve learned to master our lessons there. Or dodge paper wads flying through the air. And on the walls and dasks we drew Things which we were not supposed to do. In that mass of immortality Lies to one and all an opportunity; We’ve done our best, in the best way that we know, And now, dear school, from you must go. But we have learned through ages long That to achieve we must move on. We take with us the accomplishments of years, And embark upon life’s sea of joys and tears. How little do we realize the value of things, Until they are taken beyond our means; In after years we’ll wish in a hopeless way, “Oh, for an hour of one High School Day!” So now, dear school, from you, we must part In presence only, not in spirt and heart. Upon your faces we shall no more look, But be glad for the photos in this book. —ELEANOR MILLER ’25 “And may there be no sadness of farewell when l embark. —Tennyson Three 3 3113 02389 6535 LOWELLIAN jforetoorb We, the class of nineteen hundred twenty- five, present this Lowellian as our tribute of grati¬ tude and admiration to the school in which we have spent four happy years.

LOWELLIAN OUR CAMPUS In years to come, we’ll never forget Our clays at Old Lowell High, We shall always remember, without regret, The days that have passed by. Those tall oak trees, that big old rock, The bridge, the steps, the grass, The little ravine, that ran through the woods, From our minds shall never pass. Up the long walk, which often we trod, To the school we did honor and back, Will stay in our minds as long as we live, ’Twas all our dear “Red and Black”. —GLEN KELSEY ' 25. “All mistakes are stepping stones—some lead down some up.

We seemed to be just terribly green, And not one of us was ever seen Sassing a teacher or talking back, Somehow we lacked the manner or knack Of bluffing the teacher and getting an A, We knew that the best thing to do, was obey. Then we became Sophies, took Caesar and plane, We began to grow bolder and look with disdain On the Freshies, whom we thought were not fit To be seen with us; we sure thought we were it. The third year however, with one more to go, We began in earnest our knowledge to show. We looked up to no one, not even the Seniors, With the awe that should have been in our demeanors. That year quite a few found a steady girl, With hair like the raven and teeth of pearl. That’s how they describe “her” when they fall in love, And when they get near “her” they coo like a dove. In doing hundreds of things our time was spent, Then finally to us came the great event In our lives. We were Seniors at last. All commonplace things were for us past. We at last reigned supreme in old L. H. S., Dignified we became on meeting the test Of our true worth, to ourselves and our school. We had come to the jump into life’s whirlpool. In our journey through life while we live and thrive, We’ll always remember good old twenty-five. —JUSTIN VIANT, ’25 “And, we’ll tak ar right guid willie-waught, for a aid lang syne.” — Burns. Twenty-fix LOWELLIAN SHIPS AT SEA In the fall of 1921 the ship of ’25 set sail in the sea of L. H. S. with a crew of sixty-two aboard. It followed three other ships that had been resting in the harbor. The first week of the voyage was very rough as the crew were unorganized and wholly at the mercy of the faculty and the crews of the other three ships. The three other ships ran ahead of us, and we had to follow in their smoke and listen to their insults. It was clear to us that we would have to organize for defense, if we wished to remain a part of the fleet, so Glen Kelsey was appointed to hold the helm, Eleanor Miller assisted him, while Casle Brownell handled the stokers. Miss Ryan, the faculty advisor, commanded so that we would not run into rocks and storms. The fleet’s officers, the faculty, put through many difficult mano- euvers, but we survived and came back the more prepared to encounter the next difficulty. The one thing that displeased us was that we were look¬ ed down upon by the upper classmen who considered us green. In May, 1922 we dropped anchor for a few months rest. The flagship of the fleet, the Seniors, went on to ports unknown leaving us to take third place when the voyage was resumed. In the fall of 1922, as we lifted anchor to take up the second stage of the journey, another ship appeared on the scene, which was destined to fol¬ low us. At this point the roughest sea we had known was encountered. Immense waves of Caesar and Algebra nearly swept some of the crew off the deck, and others were very seasick. In spite of this the ship maintain¬ ed a steady speed and a level keel so that at the end of the second term it was prepared to assume second place in the formation. Pauline Smith, as¬ sisted by Helen Slocomb, controlled the destiny of the ship during this stage, while Justin Viant and Evelyn Nomanson looked after the fuel supply. Miss Booty commanded so that we took the right course and kept order aboard. After a three months rest, we again resumed the voyage, this time as Juniors. Our only superiors now ' were the Seniors and the Faculty. This year we gained even more distinction than ever before in all activities. The size of the crew was greatly reduced due to desertion and casualties during previous stages of the voyage, but we gained in momentum due to the ex¬ perience we had gained. Helen Slocomb and Helen Gragg plied the helm this year and Eleanor Dahl and Ewlyn Belshaw acted as stevedors. Miss Kenyon warned us of all dangers this year so that we were ready for an¬ other promotion by the end of the third term. Now as Seniors, the flagship of the fleet that sails through L. H. S., we are nearing the end of a voyage, after which each must start on a longer, more dangerous and difficult course. We have completed successfully an important voyage and have come to where the lanes divide. Thus far we think we are worthy of being used as a model for succeeding classes to fol¬ low. Who knows what each is destined to do in the future? —MELVIN STRICKHORN, ’25 “And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I pat out to see. — Tennyson. Twenty-seven LOWELLIAN ISSUED EVERY TWICE IN A WH1UK Lowellian News Everything But The Truth PINAL EDITION MEMBERS OF UNITED NONSENSE ASS ' N No. XXX Vol. XII OIL DISCOVERED ON FARM NEAR LOWELL Well Known Chemist and Writer Elopes Mr. Grossman Accidentally Discovers Oil Mr. Elmer orossman, fanner, who lives about two miles soutn of Lowell discovered oil on Ins farm, several weeks ago. Ho was digging a post hole on a rather wet piece of ground and noticed an oiiy film on the earth which he dug out. Mr. urossman said nothing to his neignhors, but hired drillers who have proven, his suspicions to be true and to-day the oil well is gusning and AJLr. Grossman is a very wealthy farmer. Tne true value of the well has not yet been fully estimated. Just to prove tnat riches have attractions we will state that Mr. Grossman, who is a bachelor, has already received fourteen pro¬ posals, some through matrimonial bureaus, and some otherwise. NARROW ESCAPE The inhabitants of Lowell were considerably aroused and excited early yesterday morning when they learned that sometime dur¬ ing the night thieves had broken into Ed Stuppy’s Store and rifled the safe and escaped. Mrs. Stuppv (Delpha Sisson) remem¬ bered that late in the evening she had heard a noise down stairs but thought nothing of it. Sheriff Pelton was soon at work with his posse and picked up a good trail. They found the two bandits hidden in an old barn south of town, and crept up on them. The bandits did not submit without a struggle and in the fracas one of them, a notorious bad-man, discharged his gun into Sheriff Pelton’s shoulder. The w ' ound does not seem dangerous but if it had been an inch lower it w’ould probably have been pretty serious. NEW BUILDING COMPLETED The new ' three story office building on Commercial Ave. be¬ longing to Mr. La Verne McXay, prominent business man of this city, has been completed and several offices have already been let. This building w-ill add con¬ siderably to the tow’n and Mr. Me Nay says that he is conte- plating putting up a four stroy model apartment building in the ner.r future.

TRAIL POSTPONED The case of McNav vs. Bruce was postponed last Thursday to a later trial by Judge Belshaw. Mr. LaVeme McNay, promin¬ ent Lowell business man has been accused of stealing a chick¬ en from farmer Gerald Bruce’s hen house. The incriminating evidence was that chicken bones wero found in Mr. McNay’s garbage can on the day after the theft occurred. Mr. Bruce swore that he would have the robber hanged ?nd is sparing no effort to see the guilty person brought to trial. Mr. McNay is well known to be very fondi of fresh fried chicken but never the less we would hate to see such a well liked man convicted of theft.

Can it be nearly three years since the time when we were first assigned to our various class rooms and felt our first thrill at the realization that we really had the right to call this institution “Our School”? So thoroughly have we become a part of L. H. S. that it does not seem possible that in a few months we shall have left only memories of the time spent here. How easy it is to recall the happenings of those past two short years! Our Freshman year was an eventful one; first, there was the election of class officers, then, the selection of an advisor. Hard work during the second semester of our Sophomore year won for some of our members certain scholarship prizes offered by the bank. Now we have come to the second semester of our Junior year. By capable officers, arrangements are being made for the Junior-Senior ban¬ quet. We are badly in need of money, but have managed to fare quite well by means of dinners, shows, and such. Soon that will all be over. The organization of our Senior class, the election of officers, and other important arrangements will be taking place. With all this pleasant excitement will come the joy of getting ready for graduation. However, there is conviction in the heart of every prospective graduate, that, although we will have spent four whole years in L. H. S. trying to better both it and ourselves for future trials, we will be leaving a great deal that is good and dear to us when we must finally leave our be¬ loved school. —RUTH IDDINGS, ’26 CLASS POEM Have you ever noticed, friend o’mine, As you wandered out at night, How ’mong all the tiny stars above One always seems so bright? Perhaps you’ve never noticed, But I’m very sure it’s true That in every crowd of people One face appeals to you. We’re a mighty solar kingdom, Or a crowd of Tom’s and Dick’s, We’re the bright star of our Hi School We’re the class of ’26. Tho’ there are not many of us Tho’ our Senior year is nigh, We’re a class of loyal spirit We’re the Tuniors of Lowell High. —SYLVIA SCHUTZ, ' 26 “Great men should think of opportunity and not of time. — Disraeli.

We were granted this permission, so we entered. After we had got quite well acquainted, we held a class meeting for the purpose of electing officers to guide us through the ensuing year. After much deliberation we elected Neva Smith. She took charge of the meeting in which we chose Gretia Sirois for vice-president. Robert Bran- nock was elected secretary-treasurer, not only because of his honesty, but because of his capabilities as well. Mr. Arthur was chosen for class advisor. We had several parties during the year. Although we were not very prominent in school activities the first semester, we finally got the school spirit and enjoyed the same privileges as other members of the student body. Our first year in high school may be said to be one of great success. When school started in the fall of nineteen-twenty-four, we were back, proud to call ourselves Sophomores. We were accustomed to the ways of going about things by this time, so we held a class meeting for the purpose of electing new officials—our former leaders had resigned. Virginia Dickey was chosen to pilot the class through the year when battles with Caesar are fought. John Taylor, Jr. was elected vice-president. For secretary-treasurer we chose Irma Futhey. Miss Davis was chosen for our class advisor. We have had a few parties and entertainments, but our largest im¬ provement has been made on our added interest in school activities. Keep up the good work, Sophomores, there is still room for improvement. —IRVIN GURITZ, ’27 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Forging ahead, doing our best, We’re the sophomore class. We can stand the test. Always smiling, we are sincere, With much to accomplish we’re needed here. Tho ' many the trials we have to bear, We stand for right, we try to play fair. “Arise, all ye Sophomores and strive to gain. Waste not your time, work not in vain.” This is our cry and we all take heed, Each brightning our school with a word or deed, Thus may we have unity ’til we are gone, Then may the next class carry our work on. And may we establish in our Lowell High, Deeds that will last as the years roll by. Oh, follow our motto you freshmen all, That you mav be worthy of our class next fall. —PAUL DEHNER, ’27 “He who seeks for gain must be at some expense.” — Plautus.

Since then we have acquired some culture and polish from constant contact with the upper classmen. Our progress through Lowell High has been quiet and uneventful, but we have never been allowed for a moment to forget that we are Freshmen. If we do not know our place by this time, it’s our own fault. We have been rather behind in school matters, but ,we trust that this will be corrected by next year. We have had several parties, which have been very successful. 1 am sure that we all enjoyed ourselves. We have learned many points of school etiquette since we came here. We have learned to walk across the front of the assembly without blushing and to always allow a girl to drink first at the fountains. We learned on the first day of school that the girls in a row always pass first. In class we do not hold our hands in the air while anyone else is reciting. Incredible as it may seem, we shall some day be Seniors, and lord it over the lower classmen. We are, figuratively speaking, diamonds in the rough. There are better days in store for all of us. —Samuel Sirois ’28 CLASS POEM We are freshmen, eighty strong. We’re here to help the school along. They call us green, they think we’re fools, But we’re the foundation of high schools. They give us no credit for studyin’ all night. They give no thought that future classmen they slight. While steering our way thru a straight narrow pass, Onward and upward to the Sopho¬ more Class. We have not finished, but just be- gun Life’s journey of both work and fun. Our worries are many, we study so hard To keep teacher from putting four F’s on our card. We’re the largest class the school ever had, This honor ought to make the school feel glad. They, being heedless of this fact, we feel rather blue. 1 think we’re being badly mistreated, don’t you? —BEATRICE EWER, ’28. ‘‘Necessity can sharpen the wits, even of children.” — Dwight.

This year was complet¬ ed with four wins and four defeats. Experience is what counts in football and no team will be fam¬ ous it’s first years of playing. Most of the eleven was composed of men of some experience. Practice was started the first week of school, which was very hard because we had just two weeks of drilling before our first game. Six positions consisting of right end, right guard, center, and all the backfield excepting the quarter back position had to be filled by new men. Sport Brownell was shifted from left end to half back, leaving the other wing position open. This vacancy was filled by Nibbs Rosenbauer and Jack Viant. The other end was held down by LaVerne McNay and Neil Spry. Right guard was taken up Ar¬ chie Buckley and Ed Stuppy. Butch Gordon plunged the line from the on the gridiron, full back position Keith Gordon and Quie Hayden run the ends from the half back berth. Milo Miller direct¬ ed the hall perfect¬ ly to the backfield men, which helped very much in ground gaining. Tom Nichols and Sandy Grossman, both two year men, played the tackle positions well. There was one place in the line that could not be penetrated easily, this was left guard played by Bud Black, a one year man. Sport Brown¬ ell took good care of the half back position on offense and end on de¬ fense. Bud Dickinson, our captain and quarter back, handled the team in good shape. Our success was due very much to the intensive practice and techni¬ cal drilling of Coach Cunningham. There will be about four weeks of spring football practice, which will aid very much in the quick develop¬ ment of a team the following fall. and most successful season “One cannot always be a hero but one can always be a man.” — Gothe.

Fifty ' one LOWELLIAN LOWELLIAN FOOTBALL Lowell 7, Morocco 0, at Lowell, September 13, 1924 This game was a battle royal, from start to finish. We got the one break of the game but, as the good team usually gets the breaks—well, use your own judgement. The break was when Sandy broke thru their line, kicked the ball out of a Morocco man’s hands, Nichols recovered and ran 50 yards (not backwards) for our lone touchdown. Dickinson kicked a per¬ fect place kick, for the extra point. Lowell 0, Froebel 13, at Gary, Sept. 20, 1924 The first year it was 56-0. Second year 31-0. This year 13-0. All those zeros belong to us, but watch out next year, Froebel. If the scores continue in the same ratio, we should beat them next year. Froebel worked for both of their touchdowns and got them by consistently hitting our lighter line.. Lowell 0, Whiting 6, at Whiting, Sept. 27, 1924 This game should have been ours, as it was Whiting’s first game and our third and also because Whiting’s team was mediocre in every respect It was a case of stage-fright, and in the first quarter with the ball on their 3 yard line, with 3 downs to make our distance, we failed to make it. Whit¬ ing’s lone touchdown was acquired in the third quarter. Lowell 0, LaPorte 14, at Lowell, Oct. 4, 1924 This game was a real heart breaker for us and was lost through a couple of boners. The first half of the game was a see-saw affair. Just as the gun cracked, one of our halves caught a pass and had a clear field for a touch¬ down. He stopped running at once however, like all the rest of us, and con¬ sequently, we were beaten out of a touchdown. In the second half with the ball in their possession. LaPorte pulled the old army gag. One of our halves went to sleep and their pass resulted in a touchdown. Soon after this, they blocked one of our passes, behind the scrimmage line and recovered for an¬ other touchdown. Lowell 0, Hammond 61, at Hammond, Oct. 11, 1924 61 to 0. What a score! Our line crumbled like paper before Hammond ' s attack. Their aerial attack was unsuccessful, however. Hammond scored a touchdown before we knew we were in a game. Touchdow n after touch¬ down was scored by Hammond and practically our whole team laid down and let Hammond run over them. In the third quarter we had the ball on Hammond’s five yard line with their second string men opposing us. They rushed in their regulars and Brownell s pass over their goal was incomplete. We were glad when the whistle blew, for the end of the game, as that was the only thing that could stop them from scoring. “A lie is either too good to be true, or too bad to be told. -LOWELLIAN- Lowell 21, Momence 3, at Momence, Nov. 1, 1924 We snapped out of it in this one and took it to the tune of 21 to 3. We made gain after gain through their line the first half. Momence fumbled near her goal line and a Lowell man recovered. A minute later Butch crashed through for a touchdown. In the third quarter Bud slipped off Mo- mence’s tackle and ran ten yards for another touchdown. Momence gained new life then and carried the ball to our ten yard line. They drop-kicked here for their three points. In the la st quarter Bud wriggled through Mo- mence’s team for fifteen yards and our third and last touchdown. We were playing under difficulties in this game, the referee giving us 145 yards of penalties. Lowell 56, Hammond Tech 0, at Lowell, Nov. 8, 1924 One Hammond team at least bit the dust. Butch and Bud gained ground through every hole they tried. We beat Tech worse than Ham¬ mond High did, but that didn’t seem to mean anything. Toofies provided a laugh in the last quarter by kicking the ball all the way down the field over Tech’s goal, where Bunny fell on it for a touchdown. Lowell 59, Crown Point 0, at Lowell, Nov. 11, 1924 We determined in this game to make a mark for future L. H. S. teams to aim at. The game came almost being called off because the expense of the game were high, and as it rained all day, it looked as if no one would come. We played, however, and the crowd was good considering the kind of a day it was. The first half they never held us for downs and the score was 40 to 0. In the second half it began to look more like a football game. Crown Point fought with all her might and the most we could get was 19 points.

The first game was played on a strange floor and af¬ ter one week of practice. From that time a success¬ ful season has been assur¬ ed. Castle Brownell was appointed captain for the year by Coach Cunning¬ ham. Glen Kelsey was the only veteran of the team having had three years previous experience. Clark, Childress, Dickinson, and Brownell were members of the team last year, but did not have regular berths. This was the material, strengthened by Gordon, Hayden, Sprague, and Rosenbaeur, from which Cunningham wielded a tower of strength on the hardwood. The team was small, fast and full of fight. Although the first game was lost, it did not daunt the members of the quintet, called “Ponies” by Cunning¬ ham, who came right back with two decisive victories, and ended the season with eleven victories against eight defeats. Among the victories were five sensational games, two against Crown Point, our old rivals, the Alumni, Brook, and Hobart, the last home game. Only one game was lost on our home floor. The honors of this game were taken by Valparaiso. Some of our ardent fans claim the team to be better than any ever re¬ presenting Lowell High. All will agree that the best teamwork ever ex¬ hibited by Black and Red warriors, was shown this year by the “Ponies”. In the sectional tourna¬ ment at East Chicago our team was defeated, not in sportsmanship, floorwork, fight, or playing ability, but in points by Ham¬ mond. The game was fur¬ ious from the beginning. We easily out-classed our opponents in everything but ability to hit the hoop. A “jinx” seemed to hover over us as the ball rolled the wrong way time after time. This marked the close of the basketball sea¬ son for us. The only dark spot on the otherwise bright hori¬ zon was the loss of Coach Cun¬ ningham at the close of the tour¬ nament. His departure brought sad¬ ness to every member of the team, all of whom would fight to the end for him. We will end this short summary with hopes and prayers that good luck will favor Cunningham and all the oncoming teams of L. H. S. wherever they may be. “They win who believe they can.

It was a peach of a game and one of the best of the tourney. Final 8 P. M., Froebel 31 . Emerson 18 Too much Polizotto again. The flashy forward was everywhere. His dribbling and speed dazzled everyone. Smith was also good. Griffith 5 Hobart 4 Our Game as Others saw us. (An extract from a letter written us by an East Chicago fan.) “We are very sorry of your defeat by Hammond in the tourney as your team played a clean, fast game, and from all reports around school, should have won.

Sectional Meet at Gary Quadrangual Meet at Froebel 1924 The first track meet for the L. H. S. team was held in the rain on the Froebel track. The other entries were Froebel. Michigan City, and Crown Point. Although the weather was not very good, very fast time was made in the running events. The pole-vaulters could not perform so well though on account of the slippery bamboo. Froebel won first in the meet, Michi¬ gan City, second, and Lowell, third. Crown Point had to accept the smallest score. Dual Meet at Crown Point 1924 The Lowell track men had their annual track meet with Crown Point. As usual Lowell won the event by a considerable margin, getting a majority of the first places and most of the second and third places also. Lowell easily won the running events, but did not do so well in the field events. Ken was high point man winning the two-twenty and the broad jump: he places second in the county. Hawkinson was second high in points, and Toofie, third. Invitational meet at Emerson 1924 This track meet was the largest and best of the year. All the good teams of northern Indiana and Illinois were invited. It was for individual honors. Rorsom of Hillsdale was high point man winning three firsts and two seconds. Relay team broke State Record. County Meet 1924 The county meet was held at Crown Point. Lowell took fourth place. Emerson won the meet with Froebel a close second. Ken got second in the two-twenty. F.inie second in the shot-put. M e took third in the relay. The races were close and exciting and caused the judges considerable trouble in choosing the winners. Sectional Meet 1924 The sectional meet at Gary was better than usual as .more schools were entered making the competition keener. Emerson won the meet by a nar¬ row margin. This was our only place. The time was very fast in the run¬ ning events and the height of the pole vault and high jump showed the increasing ability of the athletes over those of former years. “A sock on the foot is worth two in the eye.” Sixty-six LOWELLIAN THE PEP CLUB This has been the first year that we have attempted a club like this, and it has been a great support to our team. Neva Smith was elected the leader and she put the “pep” in the club. Our first appearance was at the Crown Point and Lowell football game in Lowell, and judging from the score we must have helped some. We wore costumes alike, and our little caps attracted the attention of the crowd. We’ve originated several yell ' s and songs, and by combining these with our snake dances and marches we have attained our purpose. What does the team need more than good back¬ ing and some enthusiastic rooters? That’s what we were, and our club must not die out in the coming years. Here’s to our High School, High School must win; Fight to the finish Never give in. You do your best, boys, We’ll do the rest, boys, Fight on to victory!! “Conduct and courage lead to honor, ' Sixty-seven LOWELLIAN God sent his singers upon earth With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again.

Seventy -LOWELLIAN THE PATTI CLUB The Patti Club originated in the year of ’24. Under the guidance of Thelma Wheeler as president and Margaret Osgood as pianist, the society prospered greatly. During the year of ’25 Pauline Smith was president of the Club. Vir¬ ginia Dickey, secretary; Helen Gragg, treasurer; and Evelyn Hayhurst, pianist. Miss Grace Hathaway has been our instructor for two years now and we certainly owe her much for she helped us win our name and our popularity through her teachings. The Patti Club sang for many different entertainments—for community meetings, parent associations, and besides have given cantatas. The Club sang for the Oratorical contest last year and we are also go¬ ing to sing this year. We received no honors but a great many of compli¬ ments from everyone on our dress which was white with an emblem on the pocket, a black belt and tie, with black shoes and stockings. We were asked to sing over the radio March 25, 1925 which we con¬ sider a great honor. After two years of hard work and lots of good times, the club has won a name for themselves and we hope they may maintain it as long as the “Patti Club” lasts. THE WARBLERS SOCIETY Shortly after taking up school last fall a call was made for all boys who wished to join the Boys Warbling Society. Twenty-four responded to the call and were summoned to the music room the next week for their first practice. Their first opportunity to sing came a few weeks later, when they were asked to sing at a community meeting at Schneider. Soon after this officers were elected; Glen Kelsey was chosen presi¬ dent; Gleyn Brown vice-president; and Sherrill Hayden, secretary and treasurer. The society was conducted by Miss Hathaway, who was responsible for the good work carried on by the boys. Several times the organization was asked to sing before the assembly. Next came the most important event of all, “The Nautical Knot.” Following the operetta came the oratorical chorus. The Clubs made a good showing at last years contest and it is expected to do much better this year. “A midnight lark seldom sings the morning after.” Seventy one - - o W E L LI AN- “THE NAUTICAL KNOT” “The Nautical Knot,” an operetta was given by the Patti Club and the Boys’ Glee Club January 29 and 30 at the end Grand Theatre.

On the eve of the departure of the Bounding Billow for a years voyage, Barnabas Lee, a wandering artist in search of beauty, falls in love with Julia, who returns his affection. The sailor lads, driven to despair by their rivals’ success, plan to kidnap Barn¬ ab as, and carry him to sea. (They are successful in their scheme and Julia thinks he has deserted her.) Nance—a gentle damsel—is loved by Joe Stout. Joe is bashful and fear¬ ing a repulse, he induces Bill Salt to propose to Nance in his name. Bill meets Julia first and, thinking her the object of Joes’ affections, delivers the bashful suitor’s message to her. Julia tells Bill to bid his friend try his luck a year hence. Bill seeks Joe and informs him of the result, only to learn of the sad mistake he has made. Joe is obliged to sail without seeing his sweethheart, Nance. Julia tells Nance of Joes’ love for her and Nance is heartbroken. The Barnstapoole girls, having quarreled with sailors, pretend indifference at their departure. ACT II. One Year Hence The townsfolk are waiting on the quay for the return of the “Bound¬ ing Billow.” The Barnstapoole girls, go to welcome the Bounding Billow” accompanied by some artists. The sailors, recovered from their love for Julia and are much chagrined to find that the Barnstapoole girls are indiffer¬ ent to their return. Bill Salt explains his mistake to Julia and offers himself in Joes’ place. Julia at first spurns him indignantly, but afterwards accepts him. The return of Barnabas Lee releases Bill Salt from the noose he had cast about his own neck. Joe soon finds Nance and explains the situation to her. The artists return to town and the sailors and girls become reconciled. The scene ends with the promise of many happy weddings in the near future. “The music in my heart bore Long after it was heard no more.

THE UKELELE CLUB The Ukelele Club of Lowell High School, as a branch of the Patti Club, was organized in the fall of 1923. This club consists of twelve girls who own ukeleles and have had some experience in playing them. There are both Hawaiian and banjo ukeleles in the club, and the harmony of tones is quite effective. The songs that are sung are special uke and popular songs and, in fact, any music that is adaptable to the ukeleles. The club is only two years old, and under the able direction of Miss Grace Hathaway, the music supervisor, and the leadership of Pauline Smith, it is acquiring new enthusiastic members, and increasing in both knowledge and popularity. The club is regarded as a novelty as there are few of its sort known, and many inquiries have been received regarding its organization, and method of teaching songs. When the Patti club broadcasted from W. L. S. Chicago, the Ukelele Club helped make the program a success by playing several songs. The membership has increased almost double since the club was started. Also the playing is much better. Although the club is now restricted to girls only, we hope the boys will be given a chance before long. “I breathed a song into the air, it fell to earth, I know not where.” Seventy-four LOWELLIAN There is a book, one may read, Which heavenly truth imparts, And all the lore its scholars need, Pure eyes and Christian hearts. “Bad books are fountains of vice.” Seventy-five First Row—Vera Fay Davis, Fara Postlewait, Lyrrell Sutton, Catherine Slocomb, Evelyn Viant, Nelda Kenny, Jean hidings, Mary Alice Rigg, Genevieve Wood, Harriet Gragg.

The name was chosen by the charter members at the first meeting. It originated from ‘Literati, a Latin word which means literature, with the letters reversed.” Fabian Henry has the honor of being chosen first president of this so¬ ciety, and he gave it its wonderful start. Eudora Dye followed in the footsteps of Fabian and carried the club through a trying, though success¬ ful, year. A court trial was held which proved of great interest. Eleanor Miller succeeded Eudora in the office of president. It proved a very suc¬ cessful year under her able guidance, and there were many good times throughout her rule. This club was organized for the purpose of helping the members in public speaking, literature, and debates. Every member must be able to show his talent in some way, such as in music or speaking. The number of active members is not to exceed fifty, including the members of the faculty. Previous to his initiation each candidate is warned of the severity of the three degrees. A constitution was drawn up at the first meeting, but several amendments have been added. This year the first meeting was held in September, and the following officers were chosen: President, Bessie Petrie; Vice-President, Mary Alice Rigg; Secretary and Treasurer, Helen Gragg. Miss Davis was chosen faculty advisor. Our meetings have been very interesting as well as educational. There were some very interesting programs at every meeting. A debate was held at which a few had their chance to display their ability in Arguing. At the first few meetings there were about two dozen members initiated. It is needless to say that these always drew a good crowd, for what is more fun than initiations? Refreshments were often served, and it really was fun to see which could wipe the most dishes! The club gave a one act play in December to earn money for the ban¬ quet. “All The World Loves A Lover” was the name, and the play proved proved it to most everyone. One item of especial importance was added to the constitution. This entitled the old members or alumni to attend the annual banquet from now on, providing they pay for their plate. The banquet was held this year in the New Methodist church on Feb¬ ruary 21, and there were a few old members present. In the following years if we should go to college, or in some other line of work or social affairs, our training in the Itaretil Club may prove invaluable. —Bessie Petrie, ’25 “A great opportunity will only make you ridiculous unless you are prepared for it.” Seventy-seven —---LOWELLIAN- ALL THE WORLD LOVES A LOVER The play, “All The World Loves A Lover,” was given by the Itaretil Club, December 17, 1924. Those who saw it greatly enjoyed it for it was a “scream.” Movies with Colleen Moore in “Through The Dark” was given in connection w ' ith it. The cast of characters was: Phil Bosworth, adventurer.Paul Nichols Marjory Vane, engaged to Phil...Pauline Smith Betty Evans, Marjorie’s chum.Helen Gragg Miss Peabody, principal of school.Eleanor Dahl Grace Milton, her friend.Bessie Petrie Flora Rummel, her friend.Catherine Grant Doris Church, her friend.Eleanor Miller Patience Farrington, very fastidious.Virginia Berg Angelina Cornstalk, a country bumpkin.Mary Alice Rigg SYNOPSIS The scene takes place in Marjory Vane’s room in Miss Peabody’s finish¬ ing school for young ladies. The girls face the prospect of a dreary Satur¬ day afternoon. Marjory, who is a recent arrival and sent here because of her infatuation for a certain Phil Bosw r orth, tells her friends a secret. “I just got a letter from Phil. We haven’t seen each other for three w : hole weeks and he’s coming here disguised as a girl.” Previous to Phil’s arrival, there are many hasty preparations which every girl considers necessary, such as pow r dering the nose and combing the hair. Miss Peabody introduces him as “Miss Comeonce,” whom Marjorie recognizes as Phil. Many times Angelina, the country girl, almost gives away his identity, but is always spoken to by Marjory, which alw’ays saves the day. Miss Peabody gives “Miss Comeonce” some crocheting to do. “You have done croteching before, Miss Comeonce?” “Oh-er-ah-yes. My uncle had a crocheting farm in-uh Wyoming!” Phil finds himself in a very dif¬ ficult position but Marjory aids him in giving answers which helped him to fool Miss Peabody. Phil and the girls play Blind Man’s Bluff. Patience, the school prude, happens in and is caught by Phil, who is blind man. Prudence sees that he is a man and calls Miss Peabody, who is very shocked at the discovery. She demands an explanation, at which Phil presents “All The World Loves A Lover” so dramatically, and Marjorie begs on her knees so earnestly that Miss Peabody forgives them and allows Phil to come and see Marjory once a week. “One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning. — Lowell. Seventy eight — LOWELLIAN — ITARETIL BANQUET The fourth annual banquet of the Itaretil Club took place February 21, 1925, in the basement of the New Methodist church. This banquet was the first to be held there, and we considered ourselves very highly honored to have this privilege. The Ladies Aid prepared and served our bountiful feast, which was thought by all present to be very delicious. The banquet was unusual, in that the graduate members were allowed to be present. The invitations were sent out on such short notice that but few responded; nevertheless we were very glad to welcome those who came. The table and church were decorated in red, white, and blue, since the date was so near that of George Washington’s birthday. There were three tables made into the shape of a cross, each one with either red, white, or blue candles. The favors were small boxes covered with silk (lags, and the menu cards were red with hatchets to add to the attractiveness. To add to the enjoyment of the evening we were very fortunate and appreciative in being entertained by music by Pauline Kelsey, Marshall Sanger, and Glen Kelsey. We must truthfully say that we are very grate¬ ful to them. The toasts were arranged according to the letters in the word “Itaretil’’ each toast starting with one of the letters. They were as follows: “Itaretil” by Helen Slocomb, “Team Work,” by Sherrill Hayden, “A Song” by Abbott Dinwiddie and Robert Brannock, “Radio Rumors” by Mr. Buis, “Echoes” by Hazel Karst, “A Vocal Solo, Trees” by Dorothy Iddings, “Inspiration” by Miss Davis, and “L. H. S.” by Marion Nichols. Bessie Petrie acted as toastmistress for the evening. Mr. Buis surprised everyone in his originality of presenting his toast. He was incidentally called out before his toast, and, when it came time for him, he broadcasted from behind a screen, from Station L. H. S. Everything would have been complete and real if he could have had a loud speaker visible, for he even gave a good imitation of static. Another toast which was unusual was “Echoes” given by Hazel Karst. She read four interesting letters from members of the preceding years. These helped to show us that our club is still of use to the school and that the alumni is still interested in it, for their letters made us feel their appre¬ ciation. The closing was a little different than ever before. After the appre¬ ciation everyone rose and sang the songs printed on the first and last pages of the menu cards which were, “The High School Song” and a song to the tune of “Boola Boola.” Miss Hathaway took charge of this part of the program ' which was full of pep; but why shouldn’t it have been after all the good eats? “Salt yo’ food wi’ humor, season it with wit, and sprinkle it o’er with the charm of good fellowship.” Seveaty-niue LOWELLIAN SKYROCKET STAFF FIRST SEMESTER Editor-in-chief.

A TREATISE ON GOSSIP “Wal, Mirandy an’ T ’s just got back from Chicago, an’ we slep’ all night on th’ train !” Hiram Meddergrass leaned back in his chair, braced his feet against the stone, puffed contentedly on his old corncob pipe, and looked around the group of men that constituted his expectant audience. Si Corncab next ventured an opinion. Si Corncab was the owner of the country store in the tiny village of Pumpkin Center. “How did you like sleepin’ on the Ca-ars?” Si drawled. “Or didn’t you sleep at all?” “Wal,” replied our friend Hiram. “To tell the truth I didn’t do much sleepin’. T wuz playin’ detective most o’ the’ night.” “Detective.’ roared Fphram Cloverhav, Sposin’ you tell us all about it from one end to tother.” Hiram puffed some more, drew a deep breath, expelled it. and started to speak. Yas, we went to Chicago. We had two berths, ’cause when I asked ’em where they carried their beds they told me that they made ’em out of th’ seats. Wal. T didn’t see how they could do that so I cal’claj:ed to watch when thev pe’ fo’ med the miracle. The seats didn’t look like they’d make very big beds, an’ Mirandy an’ T are used to sleepin’ on a big feather bed to home, so T got a bed fer each of us. “Wal, when it came time ter go to bed, the nigger came around an’ Eighty-four He that lives upon hope ivill die fasting.” LOWELLI AN- dropped the backs o’ th’ seats down, hung up some curtains, put beddin on the bed, an’ it wuz all done so quick thet I didn’t quite see how ’twas really done. Th’ bed was’nt very big but I guessed I could sleep in it. Mirandy wouldn’t let me sleep in th’ to bed’ cause she wuz afraid I couldn’t climb up th’ ladder ’count o’ my leg thet I broke last winter. “When bed time came, Mirandy climbed up into th’ bed on top o’ mine, an’ I crawled into th’ little coop thet wuz s’posed to be a bed. Let me tell you it was close quarters there. I didn’t know where t’ put my clothes so I hollored up to Mirandy an’ asked her. She said t’ put ’em in a little ham- mack that wuz up there. There wuz th’ cutest little green hammock yo’ ever saw swinging’ in the corner. I piled my clothes in the hammock an’ in doin’ it I hit my elbow on th’ wall. Just then th’ little coop was lighted. I couldn’t quite understand that, but when I was lookin around, I saw a little shiny button. I pressed it and th’ light went out, I did it several times and then hollered up and told Mirandy ’cause I didn’t want her to miss any¬ thing. “Wal, finally I went t’ sleep, but I woke up when I heard a woman scream. I sat up an’ heard other people runnin’ down th’ aisle. I didn’t want to miss anything so I stumbled out o’ bed. Away down at one end of th’ car was a big fat woman with her hair done up in curl papers. She wuz talkin’ fast, an’ said there was a burglar that had got her purse, and she had seen some man’s shoes underneath th’ curtain! Wal, everyone was ex¬ cited, an’ we all looked in our berths, an’ under ’em, but we didn’t find any¬ thing like a burglar. Th’ nigger porter looked in th’ vestibule an’ outside th’ car, but we couldn’t even find the purse. Th’ woman said she knew she had packed it in her satchel so no one would get it, an’ now it was wa’n’t there. We thought we’d all go back ter bed, pretty soon we heard another scream, an’ th’ woman said she’d found her purse. It had been under her pil¬ low all th’ time, just where she’d put it. Then I looked around an’ saw-some shoes thet a man in another berth had set out to be shined. Th’ woman said they were the shoes she’d seen, an’ she tumbled back ter bed without even thanking us! Wimmin folks ’as got me beat, one o’ ’em kin make more trouble than all th’ rest of th’ men put together. “An’ as fer gossip, all the other wimmin in th’ car wuz talkin’ away as fast as they could-about the other woman. You never see men a’ gossipin’ like thet. We keep all the news to ourselves. “It wuz almost mornin’ by that time an’ we were almost ter Chicago so I hadn’t had much sleep. No, I don’t partic’larly like sleepin’ on th’ train. If some woman stages a robbery, an’ th’ rest o’ ’em has got to gos¬ sip, I think I’ll stay ter home. Hiram finished his tale, puffed at his pipe, and leisurely blew the smoke. He tipped his chair back against the wall, thrust his thumbs under his sus¬ penders, and then said, “Now tell me all th’ news about th’ town sence I’ve been gone!” Such is the inconsistency of man. —HARRIET GRAGG ’26 “How many unjust and wicked things are done from mere habit!” — LOWELLIAN - THE DUNES TRIP On Friday, October the twenty-fourth all the children of the high and grade School of Lowell gathered at their respective buildings and made ready for a trip to the Dunes. Of course the faculty of each school and also many of the parents went along. The girls forgot all their dignity, donned knickers, and prepared to have the time of their lives. Printed rules for driving were distributed to the drivers of the cars. Mr. Oyler led the procession. Procession is the correct name for that line of cars, for there were about sixty-five or more. Some of the boys were kind enough to stop and signal by waving white gloves or blowing a whistle, in order that every car might cross and know that thus far it was safe. Everything was going lovely until suddenly Mr. Oyler had a puncture. Of course we couldn’t let a little thing like that stop us, so Mr. Oyler settled himself in another car and we went along merrily. A few of the boys were left to fix the tire and to show up at the Dunes later. When we arrived at the Dunes—somewhat the worse for a little grime we were met by Dr. Franks from the University of Chicago, who had lived near the Dunes practically all his life. From the top of the bus he gave us a short but interesting lecture about the Dunes. The Dunes are a range of sand hills with their greatest altitudes of from one hundred twenty to one hundred ninety-two feet. They extend back from the shore of the southern end of Lake Michigan for a distance of about one and one-half miles. The sand is constantly changing and mav- ing back from the shore. Forests are buried under these Dunes and all that now can be seen is the tops of huge trees. There are Dune regions all over the United States, but none of them compare with the Indiana Dunes. Those other Dunes are described as be¬ ing bare, bleak, and depressive, while those belonging to Indiana are quite cheering in their aspect. There is a most wonderful display of flowers in the Dunes region. Flow¬ ers grow here that are accustomed to rich soil, desert lands, and many other similar contrasts. The most rare of the species of flowers are rapidly disap¬ pearing because so many are picked and carried off. After the lecture Dr. Franks took us over part of the Dunes. We saw where many of the desert scenes for the movies are made. We were then shown the big slide. Here many were the tumbles that were gleefully taken. We saw a tar barrel and feathers where evidently someone had had a sorry time of it. All of us were ravenous from all the climbing, walking, and other ways of producing appetites. We returned to the beach, where many were in grave danger of overeating. Returning home, somewhat tired, we unanimously agreed that we had spent profitable and happy day at the Indiana Sand Dunes. “Let Nature be your teacher. — Wordsworth. EMrhtj-sLx Eighty-seven LOWELLIAN A MISTAKE Mr. Roland Anderson, an old gray headed man, was walking down a thickly crowded street of Chicago. He was carrying several books under one arm. A man coming behind him bumped his arm and knocked the books to the sidewalk. “I beg your pardon, Mister,” said a seemingly familiar voice close by. Mr. Anderson looked at the man who had spoken, but he was unable to recognize him at that moment. A short time later you might have seen him enter a large apartment house on Madison Avenue close upon Mr. John Hopkin’s heels.- “Good evening, Mr. Hopkins,” said Mr. Anderson calmly. Mr. John Hopkins turning towards the door exclaimed, “Roland, where in the world did you come from? I thought you were dead.” Roland Anderson, accepting the large chair drawn forward by Mr. Hop¬ kins, told briefly a story very interesting, as well as strange, to Mr. Hopkins’ ears. Both men had been great detectives in their time. Some twenty years before Roland Anderson had almost solved the mystery surrounding R. A. Olsen’s death. He knew that if he submitted his report to authorities, it would mean death or life imprisonment for two of Chicago’s prominent men. But the two men learned that they were going to be caught before he turned in his report and forced him to leave the city. Only two men knew when he left or how he left. The past twenty years he had spent in New York keeping a close watch upon some Chicago people. At one time he read in a Chicago paper that one of his old enemies had died. So when he heard of the mysterious death of Ralph Olsen Jr., he thought that it was about time for him to return to his home town. He had been in Chicago just a week, unknown to all but one man, his determined enemy. Mr. An¬ derson’s life was in great danger and he knew it; but the old detective was determined to solve one more mystery before he died. “But come, John,” he said quickly. “I will talk to you later. I have work for you tonight. Get your coat and come with me.” “Where are you going?” asked Mr. Hopkins. “Never mind that now. We must hurry,” was his only response as he looked at his watch anxiously. So grabbing up their coats, Roland Anderson and John Hopkins, two of the greatest detectives in Chicago, started out on a little adventure. Down - through side streets and allies they went. Mr. Hopkins had great faith in Roland Anderson, and as he knew he had something important in mind, he asked no more questions until they reached what seemed to be their destin¬ ation. On their way upstairs to the room they met the lady of the house. “How did it work, Mrs. Smith?” inquired Mr. Anderson. “Only a book and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. ” Eighty-eight LOWELLIAN “Fine, only I’m afraid your statue is spoiled,” said Mrs. Smith. “That man certainly is a skilled marksman.” “Do you know where you are, John ?” asked Roland. “You bet I do”, Mr. Hopkins said as they ascended the steps of an empty house, just across the street from where he had previously lived. “But what are you going to do here?” Mr. Anderon smiled and led Hopkins through the house to a window in a large dark room next to the street. “Look, John, does that look familiar?” Mr. Hopkins was so stunned that he could only stare at the object at which Mr. Anderson had pointed. In the building across the street was a very brightly lighted room with the shade drawn. But, on the shade was the perfect image of Mr. Roland Anderson. By the time Hopkins had re¬ covered his voice, Anderson motioned for him to be quiet and to follow his instructions. Both men then crouched down near the window to watch the brightly lighted room and the street below. They watched until nearly mid¬ night, and during this time Mr. Anderson’s shadow had moved many times to a different position. By this time Mr. Hopkins began to have a faint idea as to what Mr. Anderson was trying to do. As it grew later and noth¬ ing happened, the former saw that his friend’s face carried an anxious and worried expression. But it did not remain so very long, for soon they heard the front door of the house in which they were, open softly and footsteps proceed across the floor. They came nearer and nearer to them. Finally Mr. Andrson clutched Mr. Hopkins arm and drew him into the darkest corner of the room. They heard the footsteps advance into their room and go directly to the large window, from whcih they had been watching. Mr. Anderson recognized the figure of a certain man as he stood up in front of the window. They quietly watched him as he raised the window and knelt upon one knee. Suddenly they heard the tingle of glass as if a large window had been broken into fine pieces. Mr. Hopkins was very ignorant as to what had happened, but not Mr. Anderson. He had sprung to his feet and was across the room in two jumps, standing at the window beside the man who had risen to his feet. Mr. Anderson struck the first blow but his ever alert enemy was too quick for him. Anderson staggered and fell over backwards. Hopkins now realized the situation and knew why Anderson had wished him to come. In a few moments, the culprit was in a policeman’s care, charged with the murder of Ralph Olson Jr., but not for the attempted murder of Roland Anderson. While the police and Mr. Anderson had been talking, Mr. Hopkins had quietly looked on with amaze¬ ment. Mr. Anderson dismissed the police with their prisoner and turned to Mr. Hopkins, “Come, John, now I will answer all your questions.” “Well, first I want to know what has happened to your image in that window.” “Just be patient, and we shall soon see,” said Mr. Anderson laughingly, as he led Mr. Hopkins across the street to the queerly lighted room. “Thoughts are mightier than strength of hand.” Eighty-nine -—---LOWELLIAN----- “Oh, never mind the statue, Mrs. Smith.” Then turning to his friend, he said, “We shall go up and see how things look if you want to, John.” Shortly they were in the room examining the wax statue and the bullet from the noiseless gun. The bullet had passed directly through the head. It was all very clear to Mr. Hopkins now. Looking at his friend he laughed and said, “Well, I do declare, John, we’re never too old to learn, are we?” —RUTH EBERT THE STORM Ramon Sedillo was a little man with great ambitions. He had come to America, the land of the free, three years ago. Over in Italy, Ramon had heard of the wonderful opportunities that this marvelous country offered to the foreigner. He had been told that especially was the opportunity giv¬ en to a great musician. You see, Ramon was a pianist and hoped some day to become as great as Paderwiski of whom he had heard such awe-inspir¬ ing stories. One of the minor ambitions which Ramon possessed was to hear this wonderful master. Ramon worked very hard, but the only chance that he had to play was an occasional accompaniment, or, because he had such nimble fingers, he was offered a position in some of the leading jazz orchestras of the country. This did not satisfy the little Italian, for he dearly loved the music of the old masters, and jazz made him want to shout with madness and to tell the whole world “This isn’t music”. The little man was invited to many gatherings by his friends, mainly because he could furnish most of the entertainment. Among Ramon’s friends was one, Miguel Sanchez, who also had ambitions. Unlike his friend, however, Miguel was rapidly rising to fame, and every day he was becoming more and more recognized by the music loving public. At last Ramon went to his famous friend and asked him if he, Ramon, would ever become anything but a small entertainer. Miguel had been ex¬ pecting this call for quite a time and he was sorry. As best he could, Miguel told his friend that he did not have what so many ambitious musicians lack, that is, he didn’t possess the “soul of music.” Ramon was heartbroken. That night he was invited to a party at which he was to take part in the entertainment. He reached the scene of the party just as one of the entertainers was being announced. He sat through the first part of the evening as though he was dazed. When it was time for him to play, he realized that he had prepared nothing. Ramon walked over to the piano and sat down trusting that he could play something that he had done before. Something queer seemed to come over him—then he placed his fingers on the key board and a wonderful strain of music seemed to grow underneath them. There were crashing chords and the spellbound listeners could fairly tell the fury of the storm. The improvisation came to a close, and as the last chord died away, Ramon Sedillo collapsed upon the piano. That was the beginning. Sedillo is rapidly rising to fame. Who knows? Maybe his greatest ambition will yet be realized.—HAZEL KARST ’25 “The rotten apple spoils his companion” Ninety ---LOWELLIAN LOWELLIAN- VOCATIONAL CLASS First Row—Kenneth Dodson, Ward Blanchard, Raymond Zanders, Ward Blanchard, Emery Ohlenkamp, Neil Spry, Melvin Striehorn, Milford Nichols, Ralph Spry, Marshall Kiethley, Wilmer Paulsen, Alvie Hadders, John Cable, Glen Brown.

At this time there was a question as to how such a class would fit in with the other parts of the school activities and program; but a favorable opinion was expressed by Mr. Dickey and Mr. Lansford at their banquet in twenty-four. A large field is set before you when you enter this class; all of which is very interesting. Quite a bit is accomplished by the class each year. Many useful things are built and taken home by the students: among these things a corn germinator holding over two thousand ears was built, a poul¬ try house, brooder house, and tables to be used in testing milk were built, and have been put into excellent use by the classes for the past three years. Building is not our accomplishment; for we study out of ten books in the course of the four years. This is accompanied by records, bulletins and laboratory. OUR COOKING CLASS Yes, we like to cook, and we just dote on theory. We have theory ev¬ ery Monday morning. It is very interesting. Last fall some of the girls brought carrots, tomatoes, corn and beets to can. We made carrot orange marmalade, too. Some crabapple and grapes were brought for us to make jelly. We have studied about breakfast and luncheons. We are going to study the main points about dinners. Sometime during the first semester we had a breakfast. There were two waitresses, a host and hostess, a man and a lady guest-of-honor, and six guests including Miss Kenyon. The break¬ fast was served in the English Style of service. The second semester we gave a luncheon on the same order as the break¬ fast, only it was served in the Russian Style of service. Miss Kenyon has promised us a picnic, so we learned to pack lunch boxes correctly. This winter we have cooked for hot lunches. Two girls have taken charge for a week at a time. For these lunches we used the things we canned whenever convenient. We value our department highly for its training in economical and practical living. “What 1 must do is all that concerns me. Ninety-throe LOWELLIAN LOCAL ORATORICAL CONTEST The preliminary oratorical contest was held at the Grand theatre Fri¬ day evening, April 13. There were nine contestants this year, six boys and three girls. There has never been a time when so many boys took part in the local contest. In the oratorical contest, Samuel Sirois was awarded first place and Bert Ewer, second. First place in the declamatory contest was given to Neva Smith, and second, to Irma Futhey. Contrary to custom the boys spoke before the girls this year, and Paul Nichols was the first speaker. His oration was “The Call to Arms”, and he gave it in a very impressive style, speaking with a great deal of enthusiasm and fire. Bert Ewer spoke next on “Abraham Lincoln”. We knew that Bert was a good speaker, but we didn’t know how good until we heard his oration and knew that he won second place. The third oration “America First” was given by Samuel Sirois. Sammy quite covered himself with glory, and certainly gave his class just reason for being proud of him. You should have heard the clapping and applause when Mr. Lansford announced that Sammy had been given first place! Some people were surprised that a Freshman should “take the cake”, and so was he. To use his own expression, he was “too overwhelmed for words.” Robert Brannock spoke next. His oration was e ntitled “The Common People.” Bob spoke remarkably well and put himself right into everything he said. We hope you’ll try again, Bob. Next in order came Elwyn Belshaw. His subject was “The Unknown Speaker.” Red astonished us with his oratorical power. The Seniors were proud to be represented by two such able orators as Elwyn and Paul. Glen Yates was the last speaker in this part of the contest. His ora¬ tion was “Slaves of Freeman”. Although he had the last and most undesir¬ able position on the program, Glen spoke very well in behalf of the Russian Freeman. Madalene Hamacher spoke first of the girls and made the Seniors all proud of her. She spoke “The Last Word” very effectively. This selection offered a fine chance for interpretation, and Madalene gave it well. Trma Futhey’s selection was entitled, “Tom o’ the Gleam,” and Trma well deserved her place of honor. Last of all the speakers, Neva Smith gave a reading from “Peg O’ My Heart.” Neva gave this same selection over the radio, but her actions and manner of putting herself into the spirit of the characters made her de¬ clamation so realistic that we prefer to see her when she reads for us. This is the second time that Neva has won first place in the declamatory contest, but we think she deserves the honor. We were all glad that we were not judges because we know it was hard to decide who should be given the honors. Nevertheless we were pleased with their descisions, and the school is proud to have been represented at East Chicago by Neva and Sammy.

Baby, child, boy, youth and grown-up are definite phenomena. The world knows them and has learned to put up with them. Seventeen is not an age, it is a disease. In its turbu¬ lent bosom the leavings of a boy are at war with the beginnings of a man. In his heart, William Sylvanus Baxter knows all the tortures and de¬ lights of love; he is capable of any of the heroisms of his heroic sex. But he is still sent on the most humiliating errands by his mother, and depends upon his father for the last nickel of spending money. Silly Bill fell in love with Lolo, the Baby-Talk Lady, a vapid if amiable little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and incidentally of her) he stole his father’s evening clothes. When his wooings became a nuis¬ ance to the neighborhood, his mother stole them back, and had them al¬ tered to fit the middle-aged form of her husband, thereby keeping William at home in the evening. But when it came to the Baby-Talk Lady’s good-bye dance, not to be present, was unendurable. How William Sylvanus again got the dress suit, and how as he was wearing it at the party the negro servant, Genesis dis¬ closed the fact that the proud garment was in reality his father’s, touched his conscience and seemed to awaken him out of his silly age of seventeen. “Joy comes grief goes, we know not how.” Ninety-five h -Tr % ■ f g VX ' Ninety-six C ”S-SiAAX_V ' wQJ s -LOWELLIAN Sept.

KNOW THESE THINGS The easiest, safest, surest, and most satisfactory way to save and keep on saving is through life insurance. It compels a man to save on a scale that he has named after due deliberation. It joins his savings with others in a co-operative invest¬ ment that is big enough to secure all advantages. It gives his earnings the safeguards provided by law so that he cannot lose. And best of all it plays the roll of fairy god father to all dependents.

It’s ready to go to the press, But we’re tired, weary and careworn; Our studies are in a mess. Our pens are dry, the type won’t work, Old Faithful Muse has fled; Miss Booty’s hair is turning gray, The staff is nearly dead. But if in years that are to come You read this at your leisure, Those memories of old, rush back And afford you all some pleasure. We’ll feel our labors are not lost, Our efforts not in vain; For pleasure given to one’s friends Is to the given gain. —THE STAFF. t FL Ft P H o R. Ff P
