() W ELLI A N Senior Class $istorp In 1923, just four hundred and thirty-one years after Co¬ lumbus discovered the New World, an organization formed at the Lowell High School. It was nicknamed “The Freshman Class,” but the original name was “The Class of 1927.” ' Idle requirements of each member was to have a receiving set that would receive four or more stations broadcasting on different wave lengths. Each station has its respective period for broadcasting, which was sometime between 8:45 a. m. and 4 p. m. Some Friday or Saturday nights basketball, football, or track meets were broadcasted. One did not need to tune in these programs, although he showed better school spirit if he did. The batteries often ran down and the operator would re¬ charge them while many lost interest in receiving and would not recharge their batteries. Others lost interest for a day or two at a time and would not listen. Every summer the weather conditions were such that receiving was difficult and we were not required to receive for three months. The cost of broadcasting was paid through taxes and the receiving was free. After four years of receiving from station “K-N-O-W -L- E-D-G-E” some may tune into a bigger and greater powered station, others may work in the broadcasting business, and still other s may start in broadcasting for themselves. Some may make failures, but may not lose courage, while others may do both. And so we will go on until our own station “L-I-F-E” will have to sign off. N. Spry Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm Page seventeen LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL’S PRETTIEST GIRL LOWELLIAN Jloltbap Jfesttbal The festival opened at noon with a well planned and tempt¬ ing lunch. Patrons came and went through the afternoon, but the majority did not arrive until six o’clock, when the appetiz¬ ing Waffle Supper was served. I he lower hall was a series of Black and Crimson trimmed booths and attractive placards such as “See the World for a Nickel” and “The Four-Legged Baby.” Different rooms con¬ tained all sorts of freaks and attractions such as the tea room, and moving pictures. The Cabaret with the “Topsy and Eva” act starring Manly Rigg and Genevieve Hayhurst, and “Sam an’ Henry” with their minstrel gang was the best attended event. iBeautp Contest I he Beauty Contest held in connection with the carnival opened a few days earlier. The prizes to be given were a box of candy and a full page picture in the “Lowellian.” The exciting time was during the last hour before the con¬ test closed. All the young men of the school squandered their hoarded savings in order to win the favor of their fair ones. 1 he race was between two Senior girls, Mary Alice Rigg and Marcella Dougherty. Mary Alice had been entered at about 10:15. The contest was to close at 10:30. The two people in charge of the contest had a hard time keeping track of the votes because they came in so fast. hen the contest closed the girls had the following num¬ ber of votes: Mary Alice Rigg. 2140 Marcella Dougherty . 1901 Louise Hamacher . 750 Helen Schafer . 505 Miss Kenyon . 345 Jean Iddings . 100 A lovely lady, garmented in light from her oivn beauty. -- Page nineteen + - LOWELLI A N Mon QL rutf) iEftan Poetrp Marcella— Marcella came a stranger here, In the beginning of the year, She seemed a quiet timid Miss, Soon we found out she wasn’t this. Neil— What’s in a name we wonder—why Here’s a boy whose name is Spry, And here’s one name that hits the tack. For he is Spry—he’s out for track. Gladys— When asked what she wanted to do— When with school she was thru. She said, “I need a vacation: Think I’ll stay near the railroad station.” Genevieve— Genevieve Wood is this brunette’s name. She’s a good hand at the pinochle game, And when she gets her hand from the deck. She blushes and says, “Oh. I’ve the Jack.” Louise— That’s Louise with the good-natured grin. And it’s the Senior class she’s in, If her friends and teachers plague, She gives a sigh and says “You aig!” Wayne— There’s also Wayne, with his saxophone. The “horn of plentyoh, what a tone. Oft-times when orchestra seemed quite dead. He’d vary—and play six measures ahead. Delta— “I’m in a hurry—get out of my way, Wait a minute—what did you say, Was he really?-—M ho was that— Who’d have thought—Why you little cat.” +—-- I’age twenty + L O V E L L IA N ■+ Irvin— This little boy just studies away, He’s going to be in the Senate some day, And then we’ll have him propose a bill, That will conform to the Seniors’ will. Catherine— “Kak” has the Irish beauty and wit, With Killarney’s way of saying it, “Sure and she can get a thrill, From a date with Tom or Dick or Bill.” Viola— Viola Gray comes to school each day, In a perfect, logical, usual way, She always looks so neat and keen, She comes by the way of gasoline. Madeline— Tho’ Madeline may seem sedate. She’s not much adverse to fate. For every day we hear her say, “Got a letter from my old man today.” Helen V.— Some folk’s thoughts are of silver or gold, And others’ thoughts are of joys untold, Others’ run to science or book, But Helen’s thoughts are of a “Brook.” Cathe rine S.— “Oh, you’re lucky”—“That’s all right,” Catherine never cuts or bites, But just goes on from day to day, Along her cheery peaceful way. Helen S.— Helen’s quiet and resigning, But she may be designing. At least ’tis said her heart beats faster. When a certain boy goes past her. Neva Lue— A sweet little maid, pretty and neat, See her dance on her nimble feet. An actress gay she fain would be. And her as a Sylvia we’d like to see. + Page twenty-one Bob- Bob’s the charming handsome sort, Who has a girl in every port, And when comes in the evening mail, His daily letters come by bail. Glen— He may be small, but he’s right there. He handles all things clean and fair, And when the Senior class is stuck, They yell, “Bet Ginny get his truck.” Irma— Short and sweet and full of life, She’ll make some man a darling wife, ’Less at the altar she changes her mind. And decides a better suitor to find. Mary A.— Mary’s the girl of whom Cooky’s most fond, Why—because she’s the traditional blonde, And if all signs are true to pen, It looks as tho’ “blondes prefer gentlemen.” Windy— Windy, the talented Basket Ball Star, Oft as he played, his mind was afar, And as the ball in the basket he’d place, He’d think “South Chicago”—a smile’d light his face. May me— Long brown hair and eyes of blue, The Priscilla type, serene and true, She puts not her trust in shallow man, But lives on the independent plan. Keith— Then there’s Keith—we cannot think, Why he with all his he-man strength, Should scorn the girls and kill love’s flame. When he has “Love” as his last name. Evelyn— “Tweet-tweet,” “Oh-oh,” and “Up for air,” These come from Evvy who hasn’t a care. But who with merry jest and fun, Keeps us laughing at her pun. Virginia— Virginia’s quite the student dear, She also has full many a care, For she’s the girl who wrote all these. W e’re sure they all are bound to please.

H. S., entered Lowell High School as Freshmen, we were nearly twice as numerous as we are now. When the excitement of the first few days subsided we settled down and chose our class officers. We elected Roger Steward, President; Samuel Sirois, Vice president; Vera Hay¬ den, Secretary, and Jean Hidings, treasurer. We had several parties which we thoroughly enjoyed. The next year we came back, as Sophomores, slightly di¬ minished in numbers, but with increased confidence. Our offi¬ cers for this year were Albert Surprise, President; Jean Hidings, Vice president; Dorothy Young, Secretary, and Harvey Taylor, Treasurer. We chose Miss Meehan for class advisor. We en¬ joyed two parties that year, being less bashful. Some of us took part in athletics and school activities. As Juniors, our numbers have been lessened considerably, but our pride and self-importance have been increased propor¬ tionately. When we look down upon the poor struggling Fresh¬ men, just getting a start in life, we feel very old and wise and important. This year we have elected Harvey Taylor, President; Albert Surprise, Vice-president; Jean Iddings, Secretary, and Wayne Petrv, Treasurer. Miss Boyle was chosen as class advisor. A Junior class benefit show, “The Sea-Hawk,” was given, and this increased our finances materially. We have been well repre¬ sented at football and basketball games this year, and we are planning a splendid bancjuet for the Seniors. We are very proud of our past record, but we hope to do better in the future. S. Sirois. Lei any man speak long enough, he will get believers. ... —..—..—..——..j.

Jnstorp It was upon a bright September morning in the year 1925, that a mass of Freshmen, green and innocent, yet filled with wonder, swarmed into the Lowell High assembly. Class officers elected were: Sheridan Ruge, President; Lu- cile Searle, Vice-president; Glenn Steward, Secretary, and Flor¬ ence McCord, Treasurer. With the kind assistance and co-operation of teachers and the guidance of Seniors, the hard struggle was soon forgotten, and May found us an interested group of Loyal Boosters. At length the greenness wore off; we became full fledged Sophomores. In entering this semester, the responsibility of electing officers added to the interest of the class. Those elected were: Glenn Steward. President; Charles Surprise, Vice presi¬ dent; Maxine Dinwiddie, Secretary, and Carmen Postlewait, Treasurer. Miss Meehan was chosen class advisor. During our brief sojourn at Lowell High, many members of our class have distinguished themselves in school activities, for they have received not only business training, but social training as well. Athletics have claimed a great part of the at¬ tention of the group. The boys have done their part in the fields of baseball, football, basketball and track. The help and advice of our advisor, Miss Meehan, has been appreciated. As the summer months go by and September once more opens the doors of Lowell High, it will be the aim of all who can. to return and finish two more years in order to weather the stormv gales of tomorrow.

Y e, fifty-four Freshmen, entered Lowell High School, trembling at the thought of initiation; but, when we learned they could do us no physical harm, we decided there was no danger. We were called “Freshies,” or around the hall we heard such remarks as these, “Freshmen are so green,” or “Just like a Freshman.” After we heard such remarks, we were deter¬ mined to show the upper classmen what a good class we had. First our programs were arranged and after we found the right classrooms (which was often hard to do) we began real work. The second week we had a class meeting. At this meet¬ ing it looked as if there were more boys than girls, and the fol¬ lowing officers were elected: William Grayson, President; Davis Driscoll, Vice-president; Eugene Van Swearinger, Sec¬ retary; John Eskridge, Treasurer. Mr. A. E. Botkins was chosen class advisor. Some Freshmen have been active in the Boys’ Glee Club, the Patti Club, and the Itaretil Club. And we had parties which were always enjoyed by every one present. Station L. H. S. signing off till next year when we can broadcast our Sophomore year. C.

Lowell 0—Mishawaka 57 This was the first game of the season and only four experienced men were playing. In the third quarter Mishawaka sent in most of the second team, but they were forced to withdraw because of Lowell’s gains. ■+ +- Page thirty-six LOW EL LI AN - Lowell 2—Kentland 0 I his was the first home game of the season. Kentland kicked off and Lowell carried the ball down to about mid-field where there was a deadlock. Good work, but neither team scored. In the third quarter, Lowell took Kentland down the field to their second yard line and then lost the ball. Kentland kicked, but was blocked and the ball fell back of the goal line, scoring us a safety of two points. Lowell 0—Froebel 100 Lots of alibis for this game and yet we had to admit that Froehel had a good team ; so did Lowell, if they had only thought so. Once in a while Lowell got the right view of things and Froebel didn’t find it so easy pick¬ ing. Dark boys, together with a few whites, turned victory into defeat. Page thirty-seven LOWELLIAN + Lowell 0—LaPorte 18 Lowell kicked off to LaPorte, but the ball was recovered by Lowell on the fifty-yard line. Brouhard went through right tackle for a run of twenty yards, but he fumbled the ball. Early in the second quarter LaPorte made a touchdown, but the try for goal failed. In the second half Brouhard got away for a long run which put Lowell again within scoring distance. In the last few minutes LaPorte crossed the goal line twice. The game ended with the ball in Lowell’s territory. Lowell 0—Whiting 43 Lowell kicked off. Whiting made a short return and was held for downs. Lowell outplayed them in the first quarter until Mart ' s men put over a touchdown. After the first touchdown, Lowell’s men lacked the nec¬ essary spirit and failed to put up a real fight. Love did good work on both offense and defense. Brouhard held his place in the backfield and Captain Brown at the end. This was the first game won by Whiting this season. —-- Page thirty-eight L O W E L L I A N — - + Lowell 2—Hammond Tech 28 Tech kicked off and Lowell returned the ball to about midfield. Al¬ though Hammond made one touchdown, neither side made much gain dur¬ ing the half. Towards the last, Brouhard carried the ball to the thirty-yard line, tried a pass, but the pass was intercepted by Parker, Tech’s sub for L. T., who made a safety—for Lowell! This counted two points for the local school. Lowell 0—Momence 18 Momence kicked and Lowell return the ball to mid-field. Lowell ad¬ vanced to Momence’s five-yard line, but was held for downs. Then Momence carried the ball to about mid-field, where Lowell’s defense tightened and held Momence. Both teams played hard and the half ended 0-0. In the third quarter Momence came back making three touchdowns by real plaving. Ruge was knocked out and others felt the effect of the Momence line. In the last quarter Lowell showed some real football, but it was too late ex¬ cept to hold Momence from another touchdown. El. N ic-kols RTu-ttK D.

Lowell then proceeded to march down the field with Ruge, Brouhard, and Dickey making the gains. Manteno tightened their defense and forced Lowell to get busy. Brouhard made a nice punt and Manteno returned to about the twenty-yard line. Manteno started out for a touchdown, but Ruge ran him down. The half ended 0 0. Bran- nock substitued for Dickey in the last half. Manteno kicked and Love returned to the forty-yard line, where the ball was lost. Manteno punted and Brannock went through center for a gain and then Brouhard went fifty yards for a touchdown. Ruge kicked for the point and missed. In the last minute to play Lowell was again within six inches of a touch¬ down. Signals were given, and the gun cracked. + +- 1 ' age forty +- I.

Windy, Gus, and Richter each made four points. Lowell showed lack of practice. Lowell 11—Valpo 70 This was a fast game, but not very interesting. Lowell showed lack of team work. It was a good practice game for Valpo. Windy made one field goal. Lowell 19—Morocco 31 These teams were rather evenly matched. Roth were out to “bring home the bacon” and it looked as if the home boys were going to do it. Windy’s dribbling and shooting forged Lowell ahead in the first half, but Morocco came back strong in the last half, and the game ended in their favor; although they had to fight for it. ' + +--- I ' age forty-four L OWELLIAN Lowell 35—Rensselaer 39 Lowell went through Grant Park’s defense time after time, but did not always connect with the basket. Ebert was high point man with nine points to his credit. Ivan Brouhard and Glen Yates played a good game. Lowell 28—Fair Oaks 19 A fast game. Lowell started a new system of play which worked bet¬ ter. Ruge came through with five field goals to his credit. Many easy shots were missed by both teams. Once it looked like another Morocco victory, but Lowell greatly outplayed the visiting team. Lowell 23—Valpo 27 This was not such easy picking for Valpo as the other game. Windy started the ball rolling. Ruge and Ivan ran the score to eight points before Valpo awoke. Gus played a star game at back guard. In the last half Ivan and Ebert were put out on personals and Brannock and Love were sent in. Valpo won on long shots. ———••—■■—■+ Page forty-five L O W E L L I A N + Lowell 18—Momence 16 Here was a fast, furious game, with plenty of excitement, and tense waiting. The low ceiling put Lowell at a disadvantage. Momence led dur¬ ing the first half. One minute before the end of the second half, Lowell was ahead; a foul was called and Momence tied the score. In the overtime Huge made a basket putting Lowell’s score ahead. Again Momence tied the score. Windy was hurt, but he kept on playing and in the last few seconds he dribbled down the floor and passed to Love who sank the ball, thus win¬ ning the game. Lowell 33—Griffith 17 The teams were about evenly matched at first, but the longer they played the weaker Griffith became, and the more pep Lowell obtained. It was an easy game for Lowell all the way through, but was not very inter¬ esting in the last half. Lowell 14—Hebron 16 This was another hard fought game. Windy was playing under the handicap of an injury he had received the week before. The score at the half was 11-13 in favor of Hebron. Only three points were scored by each team during the last half. + + —---- Page forty-six -L OWELLIAN Lowell 21—Hobart 40 With Taylor, our regular forward declared ineligible on Thursday night and Ebert on Friday, the disorganized Lowell team made a fair showing against Hobart. Lowell 33—Manteno 18 Lowell started hard and fast, their new plays working to perfection; they got an early lead and held it throughout the entire game. Manteno came back stronger in the second half, but could not begin to overcome the lead made by the “Red Devils.” Taylor was high point man, and Ivan and Stub made several field goals. Lowell 26—Grant Park 14 The “Illini boys returned with a great come-back. It wasn’t as easy this time, but was just as sure. Very clean sportsmanship was displayed throughout the game. The “Illini” boys showed great improvement over former game. + Page forty-seven LOWELLIAN Lowell 35—Rensselaer 39 This was the fastest game of the season and kept the fans on their toes all the way through. Ivan was the first to get a basket for Lowell. In the first half Lowell led most of the time; but, when Rensselaer did get in the lead, the Lowell boys slowed down. In the second half, Rensselaer got an eleven-point lead; then, Windy decided it was time to score, making ten points in three minutes. It was a close shave for Rensselaer. Lowell 16—Wolcott 26 Although the Lowell boys did some real fighting at times, this was a slow game. Wolcott made their gain early and held it throughout the game. Lowell was not able to connect with the basket. Lowell 43—Manteno 25 Nichols started the scoring with a field goal and Taylor soon followed it with another. Windy made three baskets in less than a minute. The Lowell five were then taken out and the second team put in. Manteno fought hard in the second half, but were unable to score. Lowell 34—Morocco 27 The game was fast from start to finish, and next to the best game of the season. Windy was again high point man scoring sixteen points. The score went by leaps and bounds. Lowell 31—Remington 18 Not very much speed was shown by Remington, but, even at that, they made the Red Devils work. The Lowell boys’ defense was as tight as a clam. Windy was high point man, making six field goals. Lowell 21—Hobart 38 The jinx seemed to shut down on the Red and Blacks. Hobart played over their heads. Many shots which should have been easy were missed. Lowell 36—Griffith 30 The last game of the season was an over-time game with a great deal of excitement. There was no outstanding player, all playing a consistent game. This was a good way to end the season for the Red and Black. +—-- Page forty-eight ---- LOWELLIAN--—-■—--—+■ JJext ©ear’s basketball cfjebule Dec. 2—Morocco . Here Dec. 3—Rensselaer .

EMERSON TAKES TOURNEY AT EAST CHICAGO Hammond 20—Roosevelt 28 The Hammond boys started strong in this game, but the Rough Riders gradually overcame the lead and won the game.

Lowell 39—Griffith 21 The Red Devils showed the crowd that the game was theirs from the first. The game was fast and there was some spectacular playing. Lowell had the lead from the start. Hobart 51—Merrillville 1 Merrillville has played and practiced under difficulties, but a good team is promised for them. Roosevelt 29—East Chicago 23 This game was a great upset to the majority of the fans and East Chi¬ cago was broken-hearted, but the Little Roosevelt five played to perfection having almost perfect team work. Emerson 26—Froebel 16 This was the second big upset of the tourney, as Froebel had not lost a game and had beaten Emerson twice. Hobart 32—Lowell 13 The teams played a tie till the Red Warriors became unlucky on shots. Hobart had very good team work. Emerson 42—Roosevelt 12 Roosevelt started well, but were tired from the preceding games and couldn’t keep up with the Norsemen. FINALS Emerson 32—Hobart 20 The final game was a fast one and the big Norsemen won the Tourney, after being the Underdogs all year. Their team work was wonderful and their ability in shooting was the same. It seemed as if no one could break through their five-man defense. +—— L OWELLIA N ®®regtlmg ciuab Top Row: Dale Goings, Wilfred Childers, Neil Spry, Donald Dickey, Wayne Mansfield, Wayne Petry, Harvey Taylor, Elmo Schultz.

In fact, hardly any of them had ever seen a real wrestling meet. abash had several state champions against whom the Lowell boys made a good showing. When this meet was over, Lowell had much more experience which was worth nearly as much as bringing home a score. Lowell 50—Michigan City 36 This was our second meet. Our boys did some splendid work which brought us the better end of the score. Michigan City had some tough men, but Lowell had some which were just a little tougher. H. C hildress, Hab- erlin, Schultz, and R. Spry all made a good showing. Lowell 32—Michigan City 52 This was our first home meet. It was a good meet and the best of sportsmanship was shown. The Red and Black Wrestlers were not up to their usual form and consequently lost. Lowell 16—Wabash 54 We showed them different opposition to what we did when we were there. This was Wabash’s twenty-sixth straight victory. Nichols made an especially good showing; he was the only one that downed his man.

Its purpose was to stimu¬ late interest in the literary side of high school life. Itaretil. or “literary” with the letters reversed, was adopted as the club name. A constitution was drawn up with the rule that there was to be not more than fifty members enrolled, all of which must be eligible in grades. The regular meeting night was the first Tuesday of each month. These rules are still binding although various amendments have been made. The club is the oldest organization in Lowell High and the annual benefit play and spring banquet were always anticipated features. The play was not given this year due to inability to obtain the theater. The banquet was also eliminated because of the late organization of the club. However, their main meet¬ ings were on the literary line. A playlet was given at one meet¬ ing and another meeting was devoted entirely to the biographies of great men. Miss Boyle was chosen the advisor for the year. It is only the ignorant who despise education - + Page sixty-seven L ' OWELLIA N Cooking Class The cooking class, supervised by Miss Kenyon, has been very successful.

She has a habit of plunging into the affairs at hand without counting consequences or cost to herself or others. Her mother, the widow O’Mara, a lively, if older, edition of her daughter, is set on a marriage between Peggy and Lord An¬ thony Crackenthorpe. Sir Anthony’s relatives regard him as a “good thing” to keep in the family, they don’t want to lose him, and Peggy doesn’t want to marry him. Instead, Peggy hatches a little plan of her own by which Sir Anthony shall be married to her mother. These two cross-lines of action meet in the ef¬ forts of the relatives to have Jimmy Keppel. Sir Anthony’s young brother dazzle Peggy on his own account, and Peggy’s decision to feign an elopement with Jimmy to offset her moth¬ er’s plan for her and Sir Anthony. Peggy and Jimmy fall in love with each other, and settl e matters to their own, and every one else’s satisfaction at the fall of the curtain.

THE ARGUMENT After an absence of four years at college, Bob Harrington is expected to return to the home of his foster aunt, Mrs. Mary Montgomery, whose daughter, Sylvia, was his boyhood sweetheart. Having fallen in love with another girl at college, he sends his chum, George Taylor, who closely re¬ sembles him, to substitute for him at the week-end party. George has al¬ ways been anxious to meet Sylvia, whose picture greatly attracts him. His arrival finds Sylvia more charming than her photograph. Unexpected guests in the persons of Sir Percival Chetwood and M. Rene LeMon arrive and are welcomed as distinguished noblemen, and invited to remain for the festivities. That night while the guests are dancing, a robbery takes place and the suspicion is turned on George, who is forced to disclose his identity. Things look dark for him until the guilty parties are brought to justice. A telegram from the real Bob Harrington announcing his marriage leaves George free to finish the story in the approved fashion.
