cthe Lou?ellian 1929 SHERIDAN RUGE Editor-in-Chief :jc ROBERT SCHMAL Art Editor The 1929 LOIPELMAH Lowell District High School Lowell, Indiana Published bi} the Class of nineteen Tu;enti Nine FOREWORD The Class of 1929 desires to take you with them as they sail the seas of the East, visiting many fas¬ cinating ports of the Orient. Also, we wish to con¬ vince our friends that L. H. S. is always the near¬ est and dearest to us, so we have tried, with ' our best efforts, to give an account of our travels and conversations with the strange and interesting peo¬ ple of faraway lands. With a feeling of elation and excitement, which always seizes travelers who are crossing the ocean for the first time, a group of L. H. S. students watched the skyline of New York fade into the dis¬ tance. After we recovered from our little feeling of sad¬ ness at leaving the U. S. for the first time, we ac- quainted ourselves with the ship, settled ourselves in the staterooms, and prepared to enjoy our trip. While walking on the deck we met an old friend, Dr. Forest Pinkerton, an alumnus of L. H. S. en route via Europe, to his medical post in the Ha¬ waiian Islands. Naturally, he asked us questions about Lowell and one of the boys showed him some pictures of our school and told him of all the changes in L. H. S. __ =1 ■ THE LOWELLIAN DEDICATION With sincerity in our hearts, with gratitude in our thoughts, and with love for our school, we, the Class of 1929, dedicate this edition of The Lowellian to our parents, teachers, and students of Lowell District High School.

Administration . . . Egypt (IfciaQfeEaQSet® THE lowellian ADMINISTRATION - EGYPT The trip across the Atlantic was uneventful and one bright day we found ourselves in Brindisi, Italy. Pausing only long enough to admire the golden sunshine, blue sky, singing peas¬ ants, and dark-eyed children, we were soon sailing away on the Mediterranean. The sea was sapphire blue and as we passed the volcano, Stromboli, tongues of red flames stabbed the black of the sky. Before long we reached Port Said where the real East begins, where every race has been blended for years pro¬ ducing a strange and weird result. Most of us wanted to go to Cairo, so we boarded one of the slow, hot. dirty tra : ns and in a few hours we were approaching that city. As we neared C airo, three ghost-like cones of what seemed to be gray and golden sand rose out of the earth, the famous pyramids of Egypt. To the left were the Makattan hills, while to the right flowed the broad smooth Nile. Dirty, colorful, and busy Cairo with its yellowish white roofs, its many towers and domes, and Mo¬ hammedan minarets. And over it all the blazing sun! A babel of sounds, people calling on Allah in prayer, and the cries of the squatting owners of the bazaars advertising their wares. Through the narrow streets we wandered idly—seeing and buying. By chance we met a group of Egyptian students who spoke English very well and strange as it may seem, in a side¬ walk cafe of Cairo, we discussed dear old Lowell High. They were very interested in our school, especially the way in which they were governed. We told them about our School Board, its duties, and relation to the school.

India THE lowellian CLASSES - INDIA Cairo was almost forgotten as we went clown the Red Sea which seemed to he a sun-scorched desert. We saw Aden in the distance built in the center of an extinct volcano whose origin is lost in the shadows. From Aden we sailed over a chang- less sea until early one morning Bombay. India with its cluster¬ ed shipping loomed up out of the haze. Bombay, chief city of western India, is located on a beauti¬ ful harbor fourteen miles long and five miles wide. We visited many interesting places, the native quarters, Buddhist and Mo¬ hammedan temples, and the carved and heavily-ornamented houses of the rich. We received an invitation from an Indian Professor at the Sassoon Institute to visit the school and have dinner with him. This gave us several hours of keen enjoy¬ ment. Pie took us for a very interesting ride, pointing out places of interest, and some other institutions of learning. In the dis¬ tance the snow-capped Himalayas towered against the sky. There is a certain air of mystery and century-old charm about India which is a lure to travelers. When it was too dark to see any more, we returned to the Institute and had dinner composed mostly of native dishes. Pro¬ fessor Hassan showed us some literary manuscripts some of which were hundreds of years old having been translated from the Persian and Arabian dialects. He also explained to us how their schools were governed by Caste so unlike our public schools of America. Our comments brought questions from him, so we told him about our High School and the way it is divided into classes.

Page twenty-nine SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1925, a group of Freshies climbed into a little red aeroplane and set out to explore the atmosphere of High School. With Sheridan Huge as their pilot they safely weathered all the tempests but when the cyclone of mid-years came around it required brains and courage to stick it out. However, the sturdy little craft bore through the storms. Soon after, they made a landing in the Field of May. The ship repaired, in ’26 they ' started out to conquer more air territory. Glenn Steward was their pilot but when he drop¬ ped out, Charles Surprise assumed control. After a brief rest for both ship and brains, Charles turned the little red plane over to a capable aviatrix known as Carrol Foster. By this time they were accustomed to flying and gave over a lot of their time to gaiety. But they were serious when they saw a storm brewing. In ’28 they exchanged the little red airship for a large and beautiful one and put Bert Griesel at the wheel. This was their last trip together so they enjoyed themselves to the best of their ability. When they landed in spring they gathered about their ship for the last time and had a great feast, then said good-bye to their pleasures together and walked from the field into the great world. —Corrine Stillson O % Page thirty SENIOR CLASS ROSTER Top R o v: Dale Goings, Robert Love, Francis Cronkhite.

Page thirty-one t r«� uizo f THE LOWELLIAN JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Juniors were gathered on the wide veranda of L. H. S. Ranch House one evening in May. This ranch, directed by Big Boss, Cecil Grayson, is merely an educational ranch for the benefit of those who wish an education in that line. He had several bosses under him, who in turn directed the four divisions, the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. The Juniors elected at the beginning of their third or Junior year, as Little Boss, Rudolph Marker, a short, bald-headed man with a jolly twinkle in his eye. Just as the day was ending, and in the dustiness of twilight, Little Boss said, “As this is our last night together till vacation is over let us have our Foreman tell us something of our past three years.” “Let’s do,” and “Billy, get up there” greeted this speech, as William Gray¬ son rose and faced the group of cowboys and girls to begin the story with which they were all familiar, but always enjoyed hearing again. “Way back in the fall of 1926,” he began, “we started our career on L. H. S. Ranch, fifty-four strong. I was elected Foreman assisted by Davis Driscoll, Eugene Van Swearinger, and John Eskridge. In May 1927 we went heme for a three months vacation. That is all of our first year.” “Johnny, go on.” “Well,” continued John Eskridge, “we came back in the fall of the year 1927. We were much refreshed and started on the roundup of the Sophomore division with much vigor. The task of being Foreman was left to me, my assistants being Rubie Hayden, Mae Yates, and Worden Wood, and our new Boss was Miss Winifred Boyle. One misfortune befell us which was the death of Eugene Van Swearinger. May again brought to us a short vaca¬ tion.” “Our third year we were called Juniors,” thus Donald Prety began, “Mr. Marker was elected Boss, I, Foreman, Russel Nelson, Catherine Berg, and Ruth Wood being our straw bosses. We had more privileges this year so we gave a play and then as a climax, invited all the Bosses and Seniors to a Ban- cjuet. We will now take a vacation after which we will come back to our Lowell Hi as Seniors and finish our courses.” Thus ended the story, amidst a burst of handclapping—the stars began to twinkle up above, as the Juniors dispersed to meet again soon as Seniors. —Rachel Hale THE lowellian JUNIORS Top Row: Richard Reeves, Harold Alyea, Donald Petry, Dale Taylor, Russell Nelson, Milford Xeidert, Davis Driscoll.

Page thirty-five THE LOWELLIAN SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 7, 1927, a group of students boarded the good ship Ell Ailcli Ess and started on a four-year voyage on the Sea of Education. Our ship was among many others which were sailing for the same distant goal, that of the Port of Graduation from where we would start on our life ' s work. All who start on this voyage for the first time are called Freshmen, and so we became known by this name. The first year of our trip proved a very successful one with little seasickness. Floyd Holmes, second mate, was our chief pilot in matters of great importa nce, and Victor John Roberts with Jack Sirois, Marjorie Rigg, and Margaret Jane Taylor took charge of our social and business activities. Our first entertainment was a party held on deck, to which we invited Captain Grayson and corps of officers. This was a very suc¬ cessful debut into the social life of the ship, and lessened our shyness con¬ siderably. Many of the boys of our number have entered into the ship’s many ath¬ letic contests, such as football, basketball, and wrestling, where they have become recognized for their ability. John Hill became one of the contestants in the Annual Oratorical Contest, while the ship’s Orchestra has drawn a few of our number. As we start the second lap of our voyage, we are distinguished as “Soph¬ omores” and under the capable direction of Miss Ingram are making progress. Virginia Scritchfield, Harry Surprise, Byrl Kenney, and Dorthea Hoffman are acting as Miss Ingram’s assistants. As we near the end of the second year of our voyage we begin to realize that while our trip was to be mainly an educational one, the many varied activities on board ship have made it one of the most enjoyable periods of our lives. —Virginia Scritchfield Page thirty-six «J®:THE lowellian i£h £ ykz SOPHOMORE CLASS ROSTER Top Row: Thomas Hamacher, Theodore Nomanson, Gerald Surprise, Ivan Bess, Floyd Griesel, Byrl Kenney, Byrl Ebert, Victor John Roberts, Louis Amidei, Arnold Alyea, Robert Fuller.

Page thirty-seven FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY One bright morning in September 1928. we, the Freshman of L. H. S., sixty four in number presented ourselves at the doors of L. H. S. to begin our education. We were very proud to know that we had the honor of being the largest class in school. At first, we had a pretty hard time trying to find our class rooms and also some room in which we could study, as the new building was not quite finished. Soon after school began, we held our class meeting and elected Mr. Sontag, our class Advisor. Then we elected our class officers, who are: President, Grant Chase: Vice President, Graciabelle Grant; Secretary, Harold Dahl; and Treasurer, Paul Hathaway. Often we heard such remarks as “Look at those Freshmen,” “Freshmen are so noisy,” “Isn’t that just like a Freshie,” and “Freshies are so green,” but we are determined to show them that we are not as green as they think we are. We are proud to have one Freshman on our football and basketball teams and are also proud of the part they played in the Operetta, “In Old Louisiana” given by the Glee Clubs. We Freshmen won the page in the Annual for sell¬ ing the most tickets in the “Dad’s Night” Contest, too. Some of the Fresh¬ man girls are also proud to he among the first pupils to start a Home Eco¬ nomics Club in our school. — Marv Rich e I ' nge thirty-eight THE LOWELLIAN FRESHMAN CLASS ROSTER Top Row: Earl Carstens, Denzil Armstrong.

Page thirty-nine Activities . . . Philippines China THE LOWELLIAN Philippines Much as we were enjoying ourselves we wanted to see the native quarters by night so we said our farewells but not before a group of Indian students sang “Bande Mataram’’ (Hail Motherland), the national song of India. Passing Siam, a small monarchy, and only sighting Java, one of the loveliest islands in the Pacific, we proceeded to Manila, which is the capital of our tropical possessions, the Philippines. The long low line of Manila, the U. S. fleet riding at anchor, and the big steamers and freighters from even- port rocking lazily on the waves, make a very attractive picture and our first impression was a very good one. We spent the day with some Professors from the University and some of the high ranking American Army and Navy men. We visited schools, the capitol. the old Spanish city, the lovely cathedrals, and one of our U. S. battle¬ ships. By noon, we were read)- to start to Baguio, the mountain capital. We shall always remember the zig-zag road to Baguio past the famous rice terraces of Bontoc and Igorote towns and villages, The mountain people are pagans and there was much of interest in their dances and modes of worship, to us. We hated to leave this delightful cool city but time compelled us to return to Manila. At eight o ' clock, we went to the Opera House to hear the University Glee Clubs sing an opera. We were much impressed by their similarity to us. After the opera the students held a reception on the Uni¬ versity grounds for us and we had a wonderful time discussing school ac¬ tivities, especially music, in which they are very interested. What fun it was to recall Glee Club, Skyrocket, Orchestra, and the operetta “In Old Louisiana.” Page forty-two THE lowellian teSGteX ® THE LOWELLIAN STAFF Standing (left to right) : Halley Blanchard—Joke Editor, Leonard Nichols—Advertising Manager, Elmo Schultz—Athletic Editor, Miss Fairfield —Advisor, Robert Schmal—Art Editor, Dale Goings—Business Manager.

Lowell, Indiana, May, 1929 No. XX PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION, FEB. 25, 1929 The Parent-Teachers As¬ sociation met for the first time this year, Monday night, February 25th. The main purpose of the meeting was the exhibition of the building to the patrons. The parents visited all the rooms and were especially delight¬ ed with our new auditorium. Only enthusiastic and admir ing remarks could be heard concei ' ning the new addition. A business meeting wa; held and the following of¬ ficers were elected: Presi¬ dent, Mr. Tom Grant; vice- president, Mrs. Cora Nichols; secretary, Mrs. Fred Ebert and treasurer, Mr. Morris Newby. Several interesting speeches were made with Mr. Grayson, our superin¬ tendent, delivering an excel¬ lent speech. After the business session delicious refreshments were served and everyone tried to get acquainted. COMMERCIAL LAW CLASS VISITS CROWN POINT A very interesting day was spent at Crown Point by the Commercial Law class, Wednesday. The case which was tried in the Circuit Court was very interesting to the class. Mr. Herschel Wise, a young man, was sueing for $10,000 damages. On August 21, 1926, Mr. Wise was sitting in front of a garage in Angola, Indiana, when a car, driven by a neg ro woman, ran into him and injured him seriously. He has been under the doctor’s care for two and one-half years and will never be able to use his one leg without a steel brace. His little finger was severed from his left hand at the same time. The class seems to be of one opinion and that is that M,r. Wise win his suit. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB A Home Economics club has been organized under the direction of Miss Mason A meeting was held Monday February 24, to elect the of¬ ficers, Dorthea Hoffman wa: elected president, Ruth Ewei vice-president, and Evelyr Hoffman, secretary and treasurer. They will hold their meet ings the eighth period twice a month. A program wili be given by the members of the club for amusement sue! as, editorials relating t: Home Economics work, a study of the different style: and customs of girls of the other countries. A committee was appoint¬ ed to name the club ant. choose a motto. They are al¬ so planning on giving a Mothers’ Tea in the future. A GOOD WOMAN By Louis Broomfield “A Good Woman” is one of Broomfield’s best books and is better received by the public than “The Green Bay Tree” and “Possession.” “A Good Woman” is an ironical study, for the wo¬ man is not good, but selfish, domineering, hypocrit i c a 1 and cruel. She succeeds in sending her son to Africa as a missionary against his will, at the same time marrying him to a girl he disliked. Needless to say, she ruin¬ ed all the lives with which she came in contact and finally, her own. The story is realistic, powerfully written, and an excellent study. PERSONALS David Driscoll was injured in the wrestling meet at East Chicago. He is on the mend now. Isabelle Blair spent Satur¬ day and Sunday with rela¬ tives in Hammond.

This was the first school production presented in Lowell High School’s beautiful new Auditorium. The Operetta was a decided success and a worthy initial offering for the new stage. “In Old Louisiana” is a romance of the Old South, exciting, colorful and gav. A charming love story runs throughout the Operetta. Melodious music and graceful dances enhanced its interest. The Jazz Orchestra composed of H. S. boys furnished music before the show and during interm.ssion.

ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra was organized in 1927 by Miss Mary Bailey, Music Supervisor. ' 1 here was a total enrollment of twelve members. In 1928 the Orchestra increased its membership to twenty members. The Orchestra was a feature of numerous school activities. The Orchestra has reorganized this year with an enrollment of thirty- five members. I bree days of sailing across the China Sea brought us to Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong is a city built on a mounta n side overlooking the most beautiful harbor on the Pacific. At night the lights twinkle row after row up the mountain side and it is difficult to discover where the lights end and the stars begin. V e went to Canton to see old China and visited many old shops. One of the most interesting things we did in China was go to the ( hinese theatre. I heir theatre is so different from ours and we remembered “The Patsy” and the Junior Play.

H. S. Audi¬ torium on March 14 and 15. Capacity crowds filled the Auditorium both nights. The Patsy” written by Barry Conners was a pretty comedy of American family life with its struggle for social supremacy. The story centered around Patricia, the youngest daughter, who was the “second” in the family and never had a fair chance. Della Moyer made an adorable Patricia and soon gained the sympathy of her audience. Jeanette Nichols was excellent as the whining and complaining mother and Carol Foster as the petulant, selfish, and proud sister, soon created hatred in the crowd. But Halley Blanchard, the father, who sympathized with Patricia soon asserted himself and made him¬ self the real master of the house. Patricia also scored in love and won Tony Anderson, a young millionaire, who had previously been engaged to Grace. Sheridan Ruge handled this part admirably and Bert Griesel made an ex¬ cellent Billy Caldwell, who succumbed to Grace’s charms. Bob Schmal, Wil¬ ford Childers, and Lenora Kimmet contributed to the general excellence of the performance. Of course, no theatrical performance is complete without its master of ceremonies and Raymond Lambert and his Jazz Orchestra provided the humor and music for the occasion. Altogether, “ 1 he Patsy” will be remem¬ bered as one of the outstanding features of Lowell High School’s dramatic life.

The story centered around the “high falutin’ ” daughtei who aspired to he an author and in a fit of anger married a plumber because he “understood” her. The way the situation righted itself and everything turned out happily for everyone, made the play most entertaining and amusing.

The two winners represented Lowell at the county contest held at East Chicago. We left China feeling that there was much behind its walls we did not see and regretted that we could not linger longer. During the crossing to Japan we met a man from Malta who told us many interesting stories con¬ cerning the old Maltese organizations and societies. Of course, we did not have much to tell in comparison to his ancient legends hut we told him of our simple High School Clubs, something about their organization and purpose. Page fifty-eight The Club was organized by Mr. Sontag in 1929 with an enrollment of nineteen charter members. The Club was limited to thirty members. The Club held three meet¬ ings a month. Two were held for the discussion of scientific events and one for a social gathering. The charter members met in February to elect officers, and to form rules and regulations. !faaOfel SGSs@ THE LOWELLIAN (ffaaQfejiOSte© HOME ECONOMICS CLUB 1 he “Peppy Ek’ Club held its first meeting on March 4th and nominated the following officers: Dorothea Hoffman, president; Ruth Ewer, vice-presi¬ dent; Evelyn Hoffman, secretary and treasurer; Rachel Hale, yell leader; club advisor, Miss Mary E.

Japan THE LOWELLIAN JAPAN A few days and the land of the Rising Sun. Our first impression of Japan came at night—everywhere bright glowing lanterns bobbing up and down on the jinrikishas of the Japanese boys Yokohama has never recovered from the earthquake, so we hastened on to Tokio. Tokio, with its endless miniature slv ' ps, paper houses, pretty and petite Japanese girls in bright kimonos and the eternal clatter-clatter of wooden shoes—that is the Tokio which is still Japan, but there is a new Tokio so modern that the traveler sighs in despair. But, outside of Tokio, the lure of old Japan still lingers to entice tourists to see and buy. Kyoto, the former capital, is the seat of Japanese trades, carv¬ ing, matsuma work, painting, and the making of silk. One marvels at the skill in the:r small fingers but even more at their infinite patience. Japan is so small that all the beautiful spots can be visited in a few weeks. Mt. Asama, one of the active volcanoes, the Great Buddha at Kamo- kura. and Lake Hakone are just a few of the lovely things in Japan. One must go to Atami. the Riviera of Japan, for it is a place of dreams come true, waves that break against the shore, caressing breezes, and moon-drenched nights. We shall never forget our first intimate glimpse of Mt. Fugi and the sur¬ rounding delightful landscape. The long high horizon rising just in front of us and gradually in the distance, the rising of that great perfectly-shaped mountain, Fugiama, the pride of Japan. On one side of us russet-clad slopes that border a river; the broad expanse of a quiet lake bluer by far than the sky overhead, and the sloping fields of rice dotted here and there with small Japanese farm houses and laborers. After Fugiama, Nikko, with its verdant mountains from which hundreds of small white foaming waterfalls burst forth. All Japan is filled with temples, every hillside has its shrine, but the temples of Nikko are the most beautiful and ornate temples in the world. Set amidst the golden azaleas and cherry blossoms of Nikko, it is impossible to describe their beauty, their gorgeous color, their delicate and varied designs, and the countless years of labor it took to build them to uphold the traditions of Japan. We returned to Tokio and visited the Imperial University. Their sports and athletics were most interesting, especially to our boys. They talked eagerly of football, basketball, track, and wrestling. We went to a wrestling meet and learned many things, for that is their national sport. What a great time we had comparing athletes, recalling Coach Marker, Dale Goings, Boh Love, Sheridan Ruge, and all the other boys so active in athletics in L. H. S.

Lowell fought hard, but could not get going. Thus the game ended with Lowell on the small end. MOMENCE 12; LOWELL 7 Lowell journeyed to Momence in high spirits and were turned hack only after staging a great battle. Lowell succeeded in placing the pigskin across the line in the first quarter when Goings recovered a fumble. Love made good our try for the extra point. Momence earned two goals, but failed to make either of their extra points. They had a great team, hut lacked the fighting spirit our boys possessed. LAPORTE 19; LOWELL 7 1 he “Red Devils” made a wonderful showing at Laporte. After three minutes of play Ruge carried the ball over for Lowell’s touchdown. C. Sur¬ prise added the extra point. I he usual lecture at half time served its purpose for Laporte. I hey came back strong and by substitution succeeded in running away with our tiring men. Thus the game ended 19-7. Our boys can feel justly proud of their showing even in defeat. KENTLAND 0; LOWELL 19 On Oct. 13, Kentland arrived in Lowell to repeat their last year’s showing against our “Red Devils.” T hey played hard but we were out for revenge. THE LOWELLIAN gV Lowell worked as one unit and were rewarded. Touchdowns were credited to R. Wood, C. Surprise and H. Poer. ROOSEVELT 38; LOWELL 0 Having men superior to our “Red Devils” and using successful plays, Roosevelt of East Chicago, defeated Lowell in a hard fought game. The two teams played real football, but Lowell lacked that scoring punch. As a result Roosevelt led as the final gun cracked, 38 to 0. HAMMOND TECH 18; LOWELL 2 This was another surprise game. Being played on our gridiron we had hopes of turning back the Tech “Tigers,” but they were unwilling. Again Lowell lacked that scoring punch when near the goal. Lowell blocked a punt back of the goal and we gained our two points by falling on it. Tech had a fine team and scored three goals but failed on all attempts for extra points. HOBART 0; LOWELL 7 The day turned out to be bad but the spirit of our boys was undaunted. Through the sloppy field they plunged and in the last half Chase received a perfect pass and scored our touchdown. C. Surprise again scored the extra point. Hobart showed great sportsmanship and we appreciated their Band which accompanied their team. The score at the half stood 0-0. CROWN POINT 7; LOWELL 6 On Nov. 9 the great game of the season took place at Crown Point. Lowell lead the attack and were first to score. The try for extra point failed. In the second quarter Crown Point completed a long pass and also made good their extra point. The Red Devils” played superior football but lost by the one point missed when trying for the extra point given after each touchdown. Thus ended the great game 7 to 6. It is the first game the Boge- men have won from us in the five years of our football rivalry. ALUMNI 0; LOWELL 0 This proved to be a great game but the weather conditions held both teams from scoring. The has beens of Lowell High proved that they still knew how to handle a football.

CROWN POINT 41; LOWELL 13 Dec. 14 we journeyed to Crown Point, to toss baskets with the Boge five. It proved to be another bad night for Lowell. CHESTERTON 37; LOWELL 12 Chesterton, with a well-organized squad, defeated the “Red Devils” in a game unmarked by any spectacular playing. ALUMNI 18; LOWELL 27 The “Red Devils” showed a marked improvement and defeated the former stars of Lowell High, 27 to 18. The boys got a good start and held it throughout the game. Page seventy-two THE LOWELLIAN MOROCCO 35; LOWELL 26 Lowell started out fine but the boys from down south were not to be caught asleep. When they did find the hoop they soon turned the tide. GRIFFITH 30; LOWELL 17 Lowell traveled to Griffith feeling as though it was their time to win a game but the odds were against them. The “Red Devils” were continually fouled, which slowed up their game considerably. The “Panthers” had an advantage of several games experience, which could be readily noticed. HAMMOND TECH 27; LOWELL 33 At last the old jinx was shaken off for the first time. The boys seemed to have the old zip throughout the game. BROOK 41; LOWELL 12 The speedy quintet from Newton County completely dazzled the “Red Devils” with their long shots. Lowell rallied again and again only to die out before they could do any damage. CROWN POINT 47; LOWELL 12 For the second time this season the “Red Devils” bowed to the Bogemen. Their ability to pass and shoot accurately resulted in running up such a score. MOROCCO 41; LOWELL 19 The game the night before seemed to have upset the “Red Devils.” They were slow and lacked the right spirit with which to pull them out of the rear. The Morocco boys took advantage of the game being played on their floor and repeatedly tossed the ball for ringers. ROOSEVELT 40; LOWELL 24 The “Rough riders” came to Lowell on Friday, Jan. 25 and successfully defeated the “Red Devils.” The first half was very evenly played but in the last half the “Riders” got started and then the score changed. LEW WALLACE 34; LOWELL 36 The boys inspired by their game the night before ceased their fighting only after the whistle blew and they had the long end of the score tucked away. CHESTERTON 40; LOWELL 20 This was a slow, uninteresting game all the way through. The “Red Page seventy-three THE LOWELLIAN Devils” couldn’t get going even after repeated substitutions. The score tells most of the results. RENSSELAER 29; LOWELL 17 The game started off with both teams struggling for the lead. The first half was very evenly matched in score and playing. In the later part of the second half Rensselaer ra ' lied and came out on the long end of the score. HOBART 38; LOWELL 21 The game started out to be a good one but soon Hobart drew away and managed to stay far enough ahead so as to never be threatened. KENTLAND 19; LOWELL 21 At last the “Red Devils” found their stride and gave Kentland a great surprise. At the half the score stood a tie and only until the last minute was it for certain wh ' ch team would win. HAMMOND TECH 9; LOWELL 35 For the second time this season the Tech “Tigers” have bowed to the “Red Devils.” The first half was like a basketball game, ending 16-8 in favor of Lowell. In the second half the “Red Devils” tightened their defense and allowed only one point to be scored. BROOK 39; LOWELL 15 The “Red Devils” seemed exhausted from their strenous battle the night before. The Brook boys were too speedy and had a keen eye for the basket. ROOSEVELT 56; LOWELL 21 This was the “Roughriders’ ” last game before the Tourney and they made it a good one. They repeatedly found the hoop while Lowell could only feel for it. The “Red Devils” played rather ragged and their shots were hurried. LEW WALLACE 18; LOWELL 43 The “Red Devils” started out with a hang! The ball swished through the old net continually marking up two points for Lowell at each swish. Lew Wallace seemed lost on our big floor and when they did possess the ball they were at loss to know what to do with it. THE LOWELLIAN TOURNAMENT SQUAD Top Row: Coach Holmes, Herbert Poer, Grant Chase, Byrl Kenney, Russell Nelson. Bottom Row: Leonard Nichols, Sheridan Ruge, Robert Love, Victor John Roberts, William Grayson. In the Tourney, Lowell drew Froehel, but they were not to be dispirited. The “Red Devils” started out strong and gave the “Blue Devils” all the trouble they wanted. The game was fast and was one of the best Lowell played this season. In the last half, the “Blue Devils” were successful on long shots and pulled away to a lead of nineteen points. The game ended with a score of 38-19.

Page seventy-eight THE LOWELLIAN WRESTLING SCHEDULE Feb. 1—Washington E. C. Lowell Here Feb. 14—Roosevelt E. C. Lowell There Mar. 14—Michigan City Lowell Here Mar. 19—Crown Point Lowell Here Wrestling, a new sport in Lowell High, was started by Coach Gardiner in 1927. A large group of boys faithfully trained hard and were rewarded by a new mat the following year. Coach Marker came to carry on the sport in ’28 and carried the boys through a successful season. This year the team went undefeated through the season. WRESTLING REVIEW WASHINGTON 16; LOWELL 30 The “Red Devils - ’ first meet was with Washington of East Chicago. The matmen won easily over the newly-organized “Senators.” ROOSEVELT 26; LOWELL 76 Lowell journeyed to East Chicago, to entertain the Roosevelt matmen and succeeded in bringing home a fine score, proving their superiority. The score stood 76-26. MICHIGAN CITY 16; LOWELL 52 Michigan City, our rival in wrestling for several years, was turned back handily in a thrilling meet held in the gym. The boys again showed their marked superiority, carrying off the 52 to 16 honors. CROWN POINT 0; LOWELL 76 Crown Point failed to defeat the “Red Devils” at least one time this year. The “Grapplers” merely toyed with the “Bogemen” and emerged victorious 76 to 0. WASHINGTON 20; LOWELL 40 Lowell again defeated the “Senator” wrestlers at East Chicago. Lang- don, Sirios, Dahl, Childers, Huesbch, and Goings represented Lowell. STATE WRESTLING TOURNAMENT—1929 Lowell was represented by Captain Goings, Haberlin, Stuhlmacher, Strickhorn, Childers, Huebsch, and Ebert. The competition was too strong and Lowell was slowly eliminated. Captain Goings’ second place gave Lowell seventh place in the Meet. Page seventy-nine the lowellian STATE BOUTS - 1928 135 lb.

His chief ambition was to become a State Champion in the 135 pound class which he reached in 1928. In 1929 he went after the Championship in the 145 pound class but took second place. During the years 1928 and 1929 he was defeated only once and that was when he lost at the State Meet.

Feeling a little weary and beginning to think of home, we said farewell to Japan. Ten quiet days at sea and then we stopped for a day at Hawaii, often called the garden spot of the world. We spent a most enjoyable day swimming at Wakaki Beach and visiting old friends. The ship sailed at nine and groups of natives singing “Farewell to Thee” escorted the ship out of the harbor. Everyone always feels a little sad when they leave this enchanted spot in the Pacific. Six days and the Golden Gate, then San Francisco, and a weary group of students found themselves home again. We enjoyed our trip, but America looked mighty good to us and we were very glad to be home once more. Page exghty-six the lowellian Bert is the president of the Class of ’29 At chewing gum he sure does shine. Small and dainty and full of life, Lucille will make a charming wife. For a “man of action Sheridan takes the cake, A satisfactory Annual he helped to make. A jolly good time is Ruth Clark’s aim, For many broken hearts she is to blame. Corrine Stillson came from Cedar Lake, She always has a remark to make. A flapper fair was Della, ’Til Davis became her only fella. Grace Mumm’s name belies her way, For she always has plenty to say. Sally is a flapper pert, When it comes to news, she’s got the dirt. Maxine’s giggles ripple thru the hall, Bus’ chuckle answers with a responding call. Cordell plods on in his studious way, But he may be a galloping success some day. Leonard tried hard for Annual ads to find, But as a salesman he was never inclined. A very bright student is Alma Grace, In all her classes she holds first place. There’s Hally B. who’s full of fun and jolly. He takes the lead in every play; it seems to be his folly With a quiet life Helen is content, Nonsense is not in her element. Gladys Gorball is a prim little lass, She wouldn’t think of missing a class. Page eighty-seven THE lowellian A brown-haired lassie is Twila Mae Childers, When she looks thru her lashes—oh, how she bewilders. Maurice Bydalek is Lillian’s chum, He’s quiet, says little, but never acts dumb. Huberta Duncan is jolly and funny, How she does blush when Wayne says, “Honey!” Ruth Virginia is little and saucy, When she gets married, let’s hope he’ll be bossy. Frances Cronkhite belongs to Mary, When they get married, they’ll run a dairy. A wrestler champ Dale Goings is, But in Solid Geom. he sure is a fizz. Anita Stolberg as a typist is speedy, For a cute boy friend she never is needy. Jeannette made a hit in the Senior play, Her ability remains the same today. A basketball whizz is Herbert Poer. But girls, alas! he can’t endure. As a Master of Ceremonies Raymond was at his best, He helped make the Senior play a rollicking success. Marian Clark from Belshaw hails. She never fails with ticket sales. Madeline is always faithful to her “Ideal” Who it is we will not reveal. A “preferred blonde” is Lenora Kimmet, If there’s anything funny, she’s always in it. When Rachel becomes an opera star, They’ll broadcast her name near and far. Page eighty-eight the lowellian Ronald Strickhorn argues a lot, When it comes to working, he’s not so hot. “Mo” Shultz is a redhead with disposition dear, He always wears a tie, and grins from ear to ear. Jessie Mae Ruble, with her eyes so blue, To her friend “Dimples” will always be true. Helen Hoffman is quite a charmer, The secret is this—fair and warmer. Another sweet redhead is Caryl Foster, L. H. S. is sorry it has lost her. His name is Love, Robert Dean, Our football captain sure is keen. Wilford Childers has never a care, Walks around smiling, quite debonair. With straight blonde hair and a ready smile, Gladys Stolberg’s ready, your troubles to beguile. A quiet girl is Velma so sweet, But we all know, “still waters run deep.” Robert Scbmall is on the Annual Staff, Just watch him, if you want to laugh. Neva Fuller is a studious gal, She’ll make some boy a wonderful pal. Charles Surprise is “short and sweet,” And Lucille thinks he can’t be beat.

How proud we were to find the doors of this “great place of learning” open to us. There is no excitement or pleasure now for we are leaving. Four short happy years we have worked, laughed, and played together; four years we fought our battles with the dragons and pitfalls of learning. It is with sincere regret and many fond memories that we leave it. We bid good-by to our school, teachers, and friends. We wish you all happiness and success in the years to come and hope that you remember us as long as we remember you, which will be always. FAREWELL!! Page ninety-five The duertisers helped to make this Annual success, hielp them and you are helping us.
