' cried our two pilots, Mr. Palmer ano Miss Springer, early one morning in September or 1933, and NINETY-THREE FRESHMEN CLAMBERED ABOARD THE GOOD SHIP Education ' 33- ' 37, and set sail on a new and untried sea. The officers of our first cruise were Captain Vincent Bcckman, First Mate Keith likens and Second . iate Norman Turner. To keep our ship steady Miss Springer and Mr. Palmer, who had his sealegs, come on board. By way of recreation we shopped off at Castlebrook golf Course, WHERE A WIENER ROAST WAS GIVEN IN CELEBRATION OF THE COMPLETION OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF OUR JOURNEY. WE STARTED THE SECOND QUARTER OF OUR VOYAGE UNDER THE LEADER¬ SHIP of Captain Harold Kenney, First Mate Luella Nichols and Second Mate Bernice Bolin, under the sponsorship of Pilots Glendening, Crowder, and Ham. While on this lec of the cruise we stopped at Elkhart and exchanged sponsors, Mr. Glendeninc remaining at Elkhart and Mr. Ham coming aboard. As AN EMBLEM OF OUR CLASS, BLUE SWEATERS, WITH GOLD ENSIGNAS WERE PURCHASED, IN KEEPING WITH OUR NEW ANO PERMANENT CLASS COLORS, BLUE AND GOLD. WE STEAMED UP THE KANKAKEE RIVER AND DROPPED ANCHOR AT JERRY ISLAND WHERE WE HELD OUR ANNUAL PARTY. ASIDE FROM A FEW MINOR CASUALTIES SUCH AS BEFELL THE BLONDE SWEDE, SOMETIMES KNOWN.

After a short stay on land, we again boarded the ship ano enter¬ ed ON THE THIRD PART OF OUR VOYAGE. OUR OFFICERS WERE HAROLD KEN¬ NEY, Captain, Julius Surprise, first mate, and Jeanette Kimmet, second mate. On this part of our voyage our sponsors were Miss Peterson and Mr. Brannock. We then issued schedules for the foot¬ ball AND BASKETBALL GAMES TO INCREASE OUR STORE OF MONEY FOR THE Junior-Senior Prom, ano thus we changed an old custom of having a banquet. Selling candy and the Junior play, second Fiddle, also WERE MEANS OF RAISING MONEY FOR THE PROM. The Prom, the first one ever given in Lowell high School ' s HISTORY, WAS a HUGE SUCCESS.

THE MORNING WAS SPENT IN PLAYING GAMES ANO SWIMMING. MANY PRANKS AND TRICKS WERE PLAYED ON SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE CREW. OUE TO THESE STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES MARVELOUS APPETITES WERE BUILT UP BY EVERYONE AND THE FIRST CALL FOR DINNER, DELAYED BY THE LATE ARRIVAL OF MISS Peterson and Mr. Brahnock, came none too soon. After eating, games WERE RESUMED. NOW FOR THE BICGEST, BEST ANO MOST ILLUSTRIOUS YEAR OF OUR CRUISE. WE ARE SENIORS! The GLORY OF IT! THIS YEAR MR.

This year our class officers are Captain Charles Bowman, First Mate joann leer. Second Mate Paulette Eich. To RAISE MONEY FOR THE EXPENSES OF THE FOURTH ted the Senior Play The Romantic young Lady and cruise we presen- sold CANDY. This year we had our pictures taken for the selected our class rings after much discussion. CLOSE OF OUR CRUISE ANO THE ABANDONING OF OUR GOOD FOREVER, WE PICKED ANNOUNCEMENTS TO DO THE WORK.

SHIFTING FROM ONE GEER TO ANOTHER I LEFT THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM IN A BUZZARD WHICH CERTAINLY MADE MY GOWN FEEL LIKE A CHILDRESS. Five hundred miles south the motor began to knock, the snow WAS MELTON, AND AS I WAS BOLIN ALONG AT A GOOO RATE OF SPEED, I SIDE-SWIPED A EWER OF FLOWERS AND HIT A BECKMAN. AS I SWUNG FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE ROAD TO AVOID A HENN I DECIDED TO TAKE ANOTHER THAT WOULD CURLESS. CROSSING A WIETBROCK I CAME TO A BERG THAT HAD A LANGEN AND NARROW STREET. ON MY LEFT I SAW A LITTLE SCHAFER, AND ON MY RIGHT, TO MY SURPRISE, A HALL OF WOOD. OVER THE DOOR OF THIS BUILDING WAS A LARGE SIGN, WE BURNHAM , AND TO THE NORTH OF THE ENTRANCE STRETCHED A BROWNELL. Immediately inside the entrance stood another small child whom I THOUGHT WAS MY FRIEND, THE INNKEEPER ' S SMALL BOY, KARLCON. 1 TRIED TO PUSH PAST THE WAITRESS, BUT I COULDN ' T TURNER, SO I WENT TO THE LEE OF HER AND SAT AT THE COUNTER AND PICKED UP A MENU. THE PRICES WERE TERRIBLE. EVERYTHING STARTED WITH A FEW NICHOLS AND WENT SO HIGH EVERYONE WAS GETTING A TERRIBLE SCHOCK. As I HAD ONLY A SCHILLING OR TWO IN MY POCKET, I DECIDED TO GET A CHECK CASHED, AND CALLED THE WAITRESS FOR INFORMATION. What kind of a banker do you have in this town, I asked. WILLIE CASH a CHECK? KENNEY DEPEND ON YOUR HONESTY? SHE RETORTED. I ASSURED HER HE COULD AND AS I WAS RETURNING TO MY SEAT, I SAW A TYLER WHO WAS WINKING AT HER AS HE PATZ HER HANO. ALL THIS TIME THE COOK HAD BEEN SEVER IN OFF THE LEGS AND WINGS OF A SPRINGER. Above the counter l saw a picture of a medieval scene. An ARMED MAN WHO SEEMED TO 3E A BOWMAN WAS CHASING A BIRD WHILE HIS HOV KINSON WAS FOLLOWING CLOSELY IN THE REAR. IN THE BACKGROUND WERE THREE REEVES WHO APPLAUDED VEHEMENTLY. Finishing my dessert, a cherry Phillip, l decided to give some ONE ELLIS my SEAT, SO I WENT TO PAY MY BILL, I WAS SOMEWHAT AN¬ NOYED BECAUSE A SMALL GIRL WAS SICKINGER DOG ON HER BROTHER. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE CURB A POLICEMAN WAS FILLING IN A TICKET FOR ME. HE WAS VERY HANDSOME AND AS HE HANDED ME THE TICKET I THOUGHT HE CERTAINLY HATHAWAY WITH HIM. I DECIDED TO TURN ON THE PERSONALITY SO HE WOULD TEAR UP THE TICKET, BUT WITH A SECOND LOOK 1 THOUGHT HE AINSWORTH THE EFFORT, SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND DROVE OUT OF TOWN IN A PAUL OF DUST. ro ' fTTTl.

Olympics as racers and started a four lap relay in the field of Education. Our contestants were among many OTHERS FROM THREE OTHER TEAMS WHO WERE RACING FOR THE SAME DISTANT COAL THAT OF MEDAL OF GRADUATION. To DISTINGUISH US FROM (HE MANY CONTESTANTS THE OFFICIAL FrESH- MEN COLORS, GREEN AND WHITE, WERE HANDED US. Early after entering the Olympics we held a meeting, as seemed CUSTOMARY, AND APPOINTED A COMMITTEE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BUSINESS MATTERS. OUR COMMITTEE CONSISTED OF MARY TaTMAN, FOR PRESIDENT, Bill Dorsch, vice president, and Betty Hoffman, secretary and trea¬ surer. To THE DISTINGUISHED BODY KNOWN AS THE STUDENT COUNCIL WE sent William Bartz and Alveta Heckel. Our class sponsors were Miss Springer ano Mr. Shutts. In the early spring of our first year one of our members, John Childress, met his death after a severe attack of pneumonia. IN THE FALL CF 1935 WE ENTERED THE L. H. S. OLYMPICS ANO START ¬ ED ON OUR SECONO LAP; THIS TIME AS SOPHOMORES. FOR OUR CLASS OF¬ FICERS WE ELECTED BILL DORSCH, PRESIDENT, MARCIA KEITHLEY, VICE- PRESIDENT, and Francis Hayden, secretary and treasurer. Merritt Love and Francis Sypult represented us in the Student Council. Our CLASS SPONSORS WERE MISS GREEN AND MR. HAM. As SOPHOMORES WE WERE GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE OF CHOOSING OUR OWN OFFICIAL CLASS COLORS. THE CHOICE PROVED TO BE RED AND WHITE, AND A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE CLASS PURCHASED CLASS SWEATERS. V . 1 ITH TWO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WE HAVE LEARNED THE WAYS OF THE Olympics of Education and feel that v;e will be able to achieve more easily the Medal for which we are struggling. Again in the fall or 1936, we entered the Olympics for a third LAP—WE HAVE ACHIEVED THE NAME OF JUNIORS AFTER MUCH HARD WORK. OUR CLASS OFFICERS ARE BILL COMBS, PRESIDENT, ROBERT VANDRE, VICE PRES¬ IDENT, ano Alveta Heckel, secretary and treasurer. To RAISE MONEY FOR OUR JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET WE SOLO FOOTBALL- BASKETBALL SCHEDULES, OUR FIRST GREAT UNDERTAKING. FOR THE SAME PURPOSE, TO RAISE MONEY, A CLASS PLAY ENTITLED POLLY WITH A PAST WAS GIVEN. V.

Miss Virginia SCR ITCHFI ELD AND MR. JAMES CARTER WERE OUR ADVISORS. WE elected Paul Jay Davis, Paul Roberts, and Waldo Bartz as ▼ PRESIDENT, VICE-PRESIDENT, AND SECRETARY-TREASURER RES¬ PECTIVELY. Victoria Kuntz and Donald Bailey were our Student coun¬ cil members. The members of our class, and the class as a whole, BECAME WELL-KNOWN BY BEING REPRESENTED IN PRACTICALLY ALL SCHOOL activities. These activities included the Band, Glee Club, Science Club, the L Weekly, Ag Club, l Club, and the football and BASKETBALL TEAMS. MAJOR LETTERS FOR FOOTBALL WERE AWARDED TO PAUL Jay Davis and Paul Roberts. The Lowell woman ' s club presented prizes FOR BEST ORAL ENGLISH USED IN THE CLASSROOM TO DONALD BAILEY AND Marilyn Fifielo for first and second prizes respectively. II Returning as sophomores in late August of the following year, WE ENROLLED WITH ONLY EIGHTY-EIGHT MEMBERS. OUR SPONSORS WERE MISS Ariel Green and Mr. George Ham. We elected Paul Roberts, president; Paul Jay Davis, vice-president; and Adelia Ewer, secretary-treasur¬ er. Jane Biesecker and Richard Likens were chosen as our represen¬ tatives for THE STUDENT COUNCIL. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION MAROON AND SILVER WERE SELECTED AS OUR CLASS COLORS AND A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE CLASS ORDERED SWEATERS, USING THESE COLOR COMBINATIONS. THERE WERE MANY MEMBERS OF OUR CLASS WHO EXCELLED IN VARIOUS FIELDS. OUT¬ STANDING ATHLETES WERE: WALDO BARTZ, CARROLL CLARK, PAUL JAY DAVIS, JOHN KEITHLEY, AND PAUL ROBERTS. MAJOR LETTERS WERE AWARDED TO THE PRECEDING BOYS IN FOOTBALL. ThE GIRLS’ TEAMS WON FIRST PLACES IN THE SOCCER AND KICK-BALL TOURNAMENTS. AMONG THE BEST GIRL ATHLETES were Roma Childers, Adrian Corten, Adelia Ewer, Marilyn Fifield, victoria Kuntz, and Eleanor Sirois. At the i936 Carnival, one of our Sophomore girls, Eleanor Sirois, Was chosen the most popular GIRL IN SCHOOL. MILDRED RHEIN, ANOTHER SOPHOMORE GIRL, WON THIRD prize in the Safety Educational Essay Contest which was sponsored by Mr. Goodwin.

FROM THE TIME WE ENTERED TO THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST YEAR OUR GREENESS HAS RIPENEO UNTIL WE NOV! CAN CLAIM THAT WE ARE NO LONGER RHINIES BUT FULL-FLEDGED UPPER CLASSMEN. Under the capable supervision of Miss Scritchfielo ano Mr. WERNZ WHO HAVE ENDEAVORED TO KNOCK OFF A FEV! ROUCH SPOTS VIE ARE EN¬ DEAVORING TO MAKE A REAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISTINCTION ANO SOCIAL LIFE OF LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL. iE FRESHMEN BOYS FEEL THAT THE FRESHMAN Discipline Committee has played no small part in this development. At THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THE CLASS ELECTED OFFICERS TO LEAD THEM THROUGH THE TOUGHER PARTS OF OUR INITIAL PATH OF SEC¬ ONDARY EDUCATION. ROBERT SlROIS WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT, ADAM DORSCH, VICE PRESIDENT, AND MAURICE GORD, SECRETARY-TREASURER. IN THIS OUR FIRST YEAR OUR CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE BEEN NECESSARILY SMALL BUT STILL IMPORTANT. IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS THE FRESHMEN WERE REPRESENTED BY FRANKLIN CLEAVER, A MEMBER OF THE VARSITY BASKETBALL team, Robert Sirois, also class president, Malcolm Jillson, Louis Herlitz, Hayden Patz, Frank Corns, Harold Corrie, Horman Dinwiddie, Adam Dorsch, Robert Hoffman, Jack Horner, Kenneth Duncan, henry Mueller, Miles Parmely, Emerson Phebus, and Earl Smith. The freshman class was also well represented among the cheer leaoers of the school. From the five selected for these posts, three WERE FRESHMEN. LILLIAN WEHLE, ADAM DORSCH, AND CHARLES BLACK WERE THE ONES SELECTED. U«lN - H V Among the various clubs in the school the class is also well represented. Representatives of the freshman class are prominent in the Band, Glee Club, Ag Club, Science Club, Lowellette Staff, sun¬ shine Club, and are potentially members of the L Club and Red Pepper Club. With the auspicious start we have made as freshmen we feel that before our school careers are enoed we will make a real con¬ tribution to Lowell high school.

II 11 i 11 SENIOR PRESENT N keeping with the tradition established by former classes who have been gradua¬ ted from Lowell High, the Senior Class of 1937 presented the high school with a gift. The class inaugurated a new and different procedure in presenting their gift to the school than has been practiced by former classes by giv¬ ing their present to the school during our junior year. Forseeing the advantages of such a need the class decided that an appropriate gift would be a loud speaking and amplifying system combined. This gift was selected with the thought of bigger and better advertis ing of our public activities which will take place in L.M.S. This outfit has been indispensiblc at the time of football and basketball games, and in announcing social func¬ tions to be held at our school, to which the pub¬ lic is invited. This amplifying system has been used to ad¬ vertise our athletic events, class plays, and the Carnival where it was used to very great extent for individual numbers and also for making an¬ nouncements in regard to concessions which were to be found in the building. We feel that great¬ er returns have been realized than ever before. We hope that in the years to follow, the classes of L.H.S. will derive as much benefit from our gift as we have in presenting it to the school. In addition to this amplifying system we are contemplating the purchase of a built-in bulletin board to be used for scholastic announcements in the lower hall.

A FEW YEARS PREVIOUSLY THE SKYROCKET WAS PUBLISHED BUT WAS DISCONTINUED. THE NAME OF THE PAPER HAS BEEN CHANGED RECENTLY TO THE LOWELLETTE . The l Weekly was started by the Journalism class in 1934 un¬ der THE DIRECTION OF MR. SMITH. THE EDITOR FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER was Edwin vanNada with an acting staff of i7 members. The commer¬ cial class under the direction of Mr. ShuTts did the mimeographing FOR THE PAPER. THE PAPER CONSISTED OF SIX-TWO COLUMN PAGES. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND SEMESTER IT WAS DECIDED TO KEEP THE PA¬ PER, so Harriet Wason was chosen editor with a staff of seventeen MEMBERS WHO WERE SELECTED FROM ALL FOUR CLASSES. In 1935, the L Weekly was under the direction of Miss SCR ITCHFI ELD WHO SELECTED MARCIA SHURTE AS EOITOR. THE STAFF WAS MADE UP OF TWENTY-FOUR MEMBERS FROM THE ENTIRE SCHOOL THUS MAKING IT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SCHOOL. OWING TO A NEW MIMEOGRAPH MACHINE AND COLORED INKS AND A MIMEOSCOPE, THE °L WEEKLY WAS IMPROVED MUCH IN APPEARANCE. THE PAPER CONSISTED OF SIX-TWO COLUMN PAGES. THE L” WEEKLY WAS ENTERED AS A COMPETITOR IN THE NATIONAL MIMEOGRAPH Exchange at Danville, Indiana and has since received the honor of HAVING AN A RATING, THE HIGHEST HONOR GIVEN. This year the L weekly underwent some various changes.Under THE SPONSORSHIP OF MISS SCR ITCHFI ELD AND THE EDITORSHIP OF PAULETTE ElCH THE PAPER WAS CONTINUED UNDER FORMER POLICIES. IT HAS GROWN UNTIL THE STAFF IS NOW COMPOSED OF THIRTY-EIGHT PUPILS FROM ALL CLASSES IN SCHOOL. DUE TO THE ADDITION OF A NEW SUBJECT, THE AD¬ VANCED Office Practice Class, taught by Mr. ham, the students do THE STENCILLING AND MIMEOGRAPHING AND RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THEIR WORK. On October 30 the paper was changed to a 4-page, 3-column pa¬ per AND THIS CHANCE IMPROVED ITS APPEARANCE. ON MARCH l2TH THE PA¬ PER WAS AGAIN CHANGED WITH A STILL BETTER OUTCOME.

SINCE THE FIRST LOWELL I AN WAS PUBLISHED IN 1935, MANY IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE DUE TO THE NEW AND IMPROVED EQUIPMENT AND PAST EXPERIENCE ON THE PART OF THE STAFF AND ITS SPONSORS. IN PUBLISHING THE LOWELL I AN WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH SEVERAL PURPOSES. A YEAR BOOK SHOULD SERVE AS A MEMORANDUM OF FORMER HIGH SCHOOL DAYS FOR SENIORS AND UNDER GRAD¬ UATES AND IT SHOULD GIVE OUTSIDERS AN IDEA OF WHAT ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE DURING THE HIGH SCHOOL YEAR. THE MANY DIFFERENT DIVISIONS OF THE ANNUAL, FACULTY, CLASSES, ORGANIZATIONS, SPORTS AND FEATURES, COVER EVERY PHASE OF SCHOOL LIFE. WE, THE STAFF, WISH TO EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION TO THE MANY PERSONS AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO HAVE MADE THE SUCCESS OF OUR ANNUAL POSSIBLE. WE WISH TO EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION PARTICULARLY TO OUR sponsors Mr. brentlinger, Mr. Ham and Miss Springer, who have con¬ tributed MUCH TIME AND HARD WORK TO THE COMPILING OF THE ANNUAL. NEXT WE WISH TO THANK THE 3LANKENBURG STUDIOS FOR THEIR KIND ASSIST¬ ANCE IN NOT ONLY PREPARING PICTURES BUT IN HELPING US ' N ANY WAY POSSIBLE. The BENEF ' TS DERIVED FROM THEIR AID ARE INES ' IMBLE. THE MANY STUDENTS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THE STAFF AND THE OFi ICE PRACTICE CLASS DESERVE A GREAT DEAL OF CREDIT FOR THEIR EXCELLE ' V ARTICLES AND THE FINE COOPERATION THEY HAVE SHOWN IN COMPILING AMD PUBLISH¬ ING THE LOWELLIAN.

THE FIRST MEETING WAS held Friday, December fourth, in room twenty six. The PURPOSE OF THIS SOCIETY IS TO REPORT THE ILLNESSES AND DEATHS AMONG THE STUDENT BODY ANO FACULTY AND TO SEND GIFTS OF FLOWERS OR FRUIT. THE SOCIETY IS MAE UP OF REPRESENTA¬ TIVES FROM EACH HOME ROOM AND FROM EACH TOWNSHIP. MR. SHUTTS WAS MADE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN OF THE ORGANIZATION AND MARILYN FlFIELD WAS ELECTED VICE CHAIRMAN.

These dimes were col¬ lected by Naomi Collins, Secretary-treasurer. Another donation will BE CALLEO FOR WHEN THE TREASURY IS OEPLETED. .This system does away with the former policy or donations of a CERTAIN AMOUNT IN THE HOME ROOM OR IN AN ORGANIZATION SUCH AS THE BAND-OR DONATIONS FROM BOTH PLACES. The AMOUNT TO PAY FOR THESE GIFTS WAS DECIDED TO BE ABOUT £2. 00 ANO NOT MORE THAN 3.00. IF THE CLASS DECIDES TO SEND A MORE EXPENSIVE GIFT THEY MAY ADD TO THIS AMOUNT. THERE IS TO BE NO DIS¬ TINCTION OR DISCRIMINATION AMONG THE STUDENTS. ALTHOUGH THE SUN¬ SHINE Club undertakes all arrangements the gifts are received under THE NAME OF THE CLASS WHICH HE OR SHE WAS A MEMBER. This year Dorothy Henderson and Pauline Augenstein received FRUIT AND FLOWERS RESPECTIVELY. FLOWERS WERE SENT TO PAULINE BRYANT ON THE DEATH OF HER BROTHER AND TO UR.

A VERY ENTHUSIAS¬ TIC AUDIENCE SHOWED THEIR APPRECIATION OF OUR EFFORTS AT ' ENTERTAINING BY GENEROUSLY SUPPORTING THE VARIOUS CON¬ CESSIONS. The Home Economics department undf.r the sup¬ ervision of Miss Springer again showed its spirit of cooperation by SERVING THOSE WHO WERE HUNGRY AND NEEDED SUSTENANCE. THE DINNER WAS UNDER WAY AT 5 O ' CLOCK AND CONTINUED UNTIL 7:30 O ' CLOCK. After the dinner our guests were invited into the gymnasium WHERE AN EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT WAS PREPARED FOR THEM. THE GYM WAS DECORATED IN RED AND WHITE AND THIS COLOR SCHEME WAS CARRIED OUT IN ALL THE CONCESSIONS. THE MANY GAMES THAT FURNISHED AMUSE¬ MENT FOR EVERYONE INCLUDED THE SANDWICH AND COFFEE STAND, DART- THROWING, CHECKER BOARD, PUNCH BOARD, PITCHING PENNIES, PITCH FOR A PRIZE, KNOCKING OVER MILK BOTTLES, POP-CORN, CANDY AND ICE CREAM STAND, SHOOTING BASKETS, HIT THE NIGGER BABY, POSTAL TELEGRAPH STATION, ORANGE TREE, BEVERAGE STAND AND THE EVER-POPULAR CORN GAME. The popularity contest, an annual event created much anxiety AND EXCITEMENT BEFORE THE WINNERS WERE ANNOUNCED. THE BOY AND GIRL VOTED MOST POP. LAR IN L. H. S. WERE CLARENCE HARDING, A JUNIOR, and Eleanor Sirois, a sophomore. Entertainment? To be sure. There were selections played on THE ACCORDIAN BY ANNE Cut ZINAS, THE WIDELY POPULAR SONG, SAN FRAN¬ CISCO WAS SUNG BY DORIS ANN CHIDESTER, AND A BLIND—FOLD BOXING MATCH, REFEREED BY COACH FLOYD. DURING THE DINNER HOUR, MUSIC WAS PROVIDED FOR THE GUESTS BY STUOENTS. Throughout the course of the evening, the loud speaker system VMS used. It proved extremely effective in several ways—CALLING ATTENTION TO THE CONCESSIONS, LOCATING PERSONS AND IT WAS USED FOR GENERAL ANNOUNCING. Only through the cooperative assistance of the faculty and the STUDENTS COULD THIS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE CARNIVAL BE THE FAVORABLE ACHIEVEMENT THAT IT WAS. i!

The Pest Killing contest was a very interesting contest in which the Bailey sp arrow catchers defeated the Holtz rat trappers. The object of this contest was to rid the community of animal pests. The contest lasted two months and the Lowell Ag soys competed AGAINST THE CROWN POINT AG BOYS. IiJ THIS PERIOD THE COMPETITION INCLUDED SPARROWS, MICE, STARLINGS, RATS, WEASELS, CROWS, HAWKS, AND FOXES AS PESTS AND MANY OF THESE WERE DESTROYED BY THE PEST ELIMINATERS.

At THE REGULAR MEETINGS, WHICH ARE HELD ON AL¬ TERNATE WEEKS OR AT SPECIAL MEET INGS, PROBLEMS OF STUDENT AND FACULTY INTEREST ARE DEBATED. DIFFICULTIES CONCERN¬ ING THE MANY PHASES OF THE CURRICULUM ARE BROUGHT UP FOR DISCUSS I ON, Constructive criticism is given by members of the Student Council AND THE FACULTIES VIEWPOINTS GIVEN BY MR. GOODWIN. IN THIS WAY THE REMEDY IS MOST LIKELY TO BE AGREEABLE TO BOTH PARTIES. Extra-curricular activities are discussed also, setting the DATES FOR SOCIAL FUNCTIONS AND MAKING ANY POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS THAT WOULD PROMOTE ITS ATTRACTIVENESS AND SUCCESSFULNESS. THE COUNCIL IS COMPOSED OF ONE STUDENT FROM EACH HOME ROOM. Each member is selected by the organization she or he represents. The senior class officers are non-elective honorary members. All meetings are presided over by Mr. Goodwin. The secretary, Paulette Eich, and vice-chairman. Sob Howkinson help to conduct the MEETINGS.

THE PURPOSE OF THE SOCIETY IS TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO STUDENTS, DOING GOOD WORK, WHO WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHANCE TO OBTAIN AN AWARD. The three students in each class who make the highest number OF HONOR POINTS WILL BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: BEING A- WARDED A PIN ON SENIOR DAY, BE RECOGNIZED IN THE LOWELLIAN, HAVE THEIR NAMES ON AN HONOR PLAQUE TO BE PLACED IN THE HALL OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING, THE SENIOR WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF HONOR POINTS WILL BE RECOGNIZED AT COMMENCEMENT. Students may obtain honor points in the following way: captain OF VARSITY FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, OR TRACK; BEING A MEMBER OF ANY ONE OF THE VARSITY TEAMS} BEING A CLASS OFFICER} BEING A MEMBER OF A PUBLICATION STAFF; BEING A MEMBER OR OFFICER OF A CLUB; MEMBER OF THE PLAY CAST} MEMBER OR OFFICER OF THE BAND OR GLEE CLUB} ON THE Distinguished Student or Honorable Mention lists; by being student ASSISTANTS. STUDENTS MAY EARN ADDITIONAL HONOR POINTS IF THEY PER¬ FORM ANY OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE SCHOOL, SUCH f. SERVICE TO BE JUDGED BY THE FACULTY. There are also numcrous demerits by which students may lose HONOR POINTS BY DISORDERLY CONDUCT. ANY STUDENT WHO LOSES MORE THAN TEN HONOR POINTS DURING ANY ONE SIX WEEKS IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN F IN CITIZENSHIP. The Honor System should encourage students to participate in ACTIVITIES AND KEEP THEIR GRADES UP BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE SOME RECOGNITION FOR IT.

For two seasons the Red Devils have been undefeated and at the close of the current sea¬ son they had played twenty four games without a loss. With little experience and many new men, the football squad completed this re¬ markable RUN OF VICTORIES. I WITH A STRONG LINE AVERAGING 174 LBS., ONLY TWO TEAMS WERE ABLE TO PENETRATE LOWELL’S DEFENSE THIS YEAR FOR TOUCHDOWNS. SUCH A REC¬ ORD WILL LONG BE REMEM BERED AS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING ACCOM¬ PLISHMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL. AT THE CLOSE OF THE SEASON INVITATIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM DIF¬ FERENT PARTS OF THE STATE CHALLENGING THE RED DEVILS TO POST SEASON I games. Injuries, illness, and approaching basketball season made it necessary to decline all such challenges. This year ' s squad loses Tom Black, Tom Melton, Carl Melton, Vincent Beckman, Paul Eich, Carlton Epert, and Phillip Brown by graduation. These players will be missed next year but they leave BEHIND THEM A STRONG RESERVE,WITH SEVERAL SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS TO REPLACE THEM IN THE POSITIONS MADE VACANT. Although the basketball team won only three games during the SEASON, THE SEASON ' S RECORD CANNOT BE SAID TO BE ALTOGETHER UNSUC¬ CESSFUL. Owing to inexperienced players Coach Floyd had to mold his TEAM AROUND ONE MAN, CAPTAIN KENNEY. THE TEAM WAS COMPOSED OF ONE SENIOR, ONE JUNIOR, TWO SOPHOMORES AND ONE FRESHMAN. SUCH A COM¬ BINATION OF MEN POINTS TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE ON THE COURT. One remarkable indication of Lowells future strength in basket¬ ball WAS THE LARGE NUMBERS OF BOYS WHO BECAME INTERESTED IN BASKET¬ BALL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON AND THE EVER INCREASING INTEREST OF THESE BOYS. OUT OF A SQUAD OF 30 BOYS, COACHES F|.0YD AND WERNZ WILL SELECT NEXT YEAR’S SQUAD. AND THERE WERE MORE FRESHMEN IN THIS SQUAD THAN WERE REPRESENTED IN ANY OF THE OTHER CLASSES.

INTRAMURAL 0 GIVE THOSE BOYS UNABLE TO ENTER VARSITY COMPETITION Ithe PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAS DEVELOPED A SYSTEM I OF INTRAMURAL SPORTS IN BASKETBALL. SUCH A POLICY HAS ALSO HELPED KEEP FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN PHYSICAL CONDITION DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. Each home room is represented by a basketball team which meets A REPRESENTATIVE OF ANOTHER HOME ROOM ON MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND Fridays in a regularly scheduled season. When the annual went to PRESS THE SENIORS WERE LEADING THE INTRAMURAL LEAGUE IN GAMES WON. AT THE CLOSE OF THC VARSITY PLAYING SEASON A BASKETBALL TOURN¬ AMENT WAS PLAYED WITH VARSITY MEN BEING ELIGIBLE FOR COMPETITION. IN THIS CLASS TOURNAMENT THE SOPHOMORES SHOWED THEIR SUPERIORITY OVER THE OTHER CLASSES. THE PROCEEDS OF THIS TOURNAMENT WERE USED TO SEND THE VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM TO THE REGIONAL TOURNAMENT HELD AT LaPORTE. The girls ' intramural sports are much more comprehensive than THE BOYS ' PROGRAM. THIS IS PARTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE GIRLS DO NOT ENTER INTO VARSITY COMPETITION WITH OTHER SCHOOLS. STARTING in September teams representing each girls ' home room start an in¬ tramural PROGRAM. IN THE FALL WHILE THE WEATHER IS STILL CLEMENT THE GIRLS START PLAYING SOCCER. LATER AS THE THERMOMETER FALLS THE GIRLS OPEN THEIR KICKBALL GAMES FOLLOWED BY VOLLEYBALL. LATER IN THE WINTER, BASKETBALL BECOMES THE CHIEF SPORT AND IN THE SPRING WHEN THE DAYS BECOME WARM BASEBALL BECOMES THE MAJOR SPORT. During the past year the sophomore and senior girls were tied IN NUMBER OF SPORTS WON. THE SOPHOMORE GIRLS WON THE KICKBALL AND SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THE SENIORS WON THE BASKETBALL AND VOLLEY BALL CHAMPIONSHIPS. WHEN THE LOWELLIAN WENT TO PRESS THE BASEBALL SEASON HAD NOT COME TO AN END SO NO CHAMPIONSHIP HAD BEEN DECIDED. All INTRAMURAL GAMES ARE PLAYED AT NOON. DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER THE GIRLS USE THE GYM THREE DAYS A WEEK AND THE BOYS PLAY TWO DAYS PER WEEK. THIS ORDER IS REVERSED DURING THE SECOND SEMES¬ TER. The boys use the gym three days per week and the girls two. All pupils who do not enter varsity competition are eligible TO ENTER THESE INTRAMURAL SPORTS. INELIGIBLE VARSITY MATERIAL ALSO GETS VALUABLE EXPERIENCE IN THESE GAMES. DURING THE ENT I RE PLAY ING SEASON OF THESE GAMES FEELING RUNS HIGH AND COMPETITION BETWEEN TEAMS IS VERY STRONG. THE SCOPE OF INTRAMURAL SPORTS IS MUCH BROADER THAN VARSITY COMPETITION AND THE NUMBERS INVOLVED ARE MUCH GREATER. THEREFORE, IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE INTRAMURAL SPORTS ARE AN INTEGRAL AND IMPORTANT FART OF A PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. i 1 J I L 0 w r t L i L I A N l!

The Green Pepper Club was for the Freshmen girls, but in 193 4 the two were united into one club, bearing the name of Red epper Club. Requirement for entrance was 100 points, which could be received for membership to a first team in any sport. In 1935 the required number of points for entrance was raised to 300 and 200 points to be made yearly for membership. The point system is as follows: 100 points for a first team in any sport 50 points for a second team or substitute 10 points extra for captain 10 points extra for each member if team wins intramural tournament. 25 points for yell leaders 25 points for officer of club 25 points for ping-pong champion Awards are given to outstanding athletes. After making 1500 points, a girl is entitled to a chenille letter. When she has made 1900 points, she is awarded a gold honor pin. The Red Pepper Club, in cooperation with the physical ed¬ ucation department, sponsors Achievement Tests each year, by which a girl may gain additional points. She is tested in various sports and her ability is tried in several gymnastic feats. The name of the outstanding athlete for eaoh year is en¬ graved on the bronze statue, which is displayed in the troohy case. Each year the club entertains the boy athletes with a dance. At this dance the best boy athlete and the best girl athlete arc honored. __ RED PEPPER CLUB Top Row—Anne Cuizinas, Victoria Kuntz, Mildred Brannock, Mar¬ cia Jane L ' icthley, Dorcas Pogue, Rit a Friday, Laura Jane Ragon, Marguerite Olson, Adrian Corten, Jane Ross, Lillian Wehle.

LAKE COUNTY CENTENNIAL owell High School, with Lake County, celebrated the Centen¬ nial MARKING ONE HUNDRED Y EARS OF GROWTH IN THE COUNTY ON February 16. The entire school opened the program by sing¬ ing America. Group singing of Home Sweet home, On the Banks of the Wabash, and Old Lang Syne were included in the MUSICAL PORTION OF THE PROGRAM. THREE TALKS BY SENIORS TRACED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTY FROM ITS EXISTENCE. HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY Lake County forms the extreme northwestern portion of Indiana, it is bounded on the north and south by Lake Michigan and the Kan¬ kakee River, respectively. On the east is porter County and on the west are Cook and ' ..ill Counties of Illinois. There are three noted divisions of the soil. In the Calumet and Grand River section is FOUND THE LOW SANDY SOIL. THE CENTER CONTAINS THE GENTLE UPLANDS AND CLAY-LOAM REGIONS. THIS IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS FARM ING SECTION of the county. Lake Prairie is the most fertile section in the CENTER DISTRICT. IT WAS THE FIRST FARMING DISTRICT SETTLED BY THE whites. The third division is the Kankakee Marsh region, which is MADE UP OF 60,000 ACRES. IN I £72 WILLIAM FANCHER, WITH GOVERNMENT PERMISSION, BEGAN THE PROJECT OF OREOGING FOUR MAIN DITCHES, THE Singleton, Akerman, Griesel and the Brown. After the draining of the marsh many white settlers started farminc. This resulted in the destruction of the wooded areas and LEFT ONLY SMALL LOTS OF TIMBER. IT ALSO RESULTED IN THE DRIVING OUT OF THE MAJORITY OF THE ONCE ABUNDANT WILD LIFE, WHICH HAO FURNISHED INCOME FOR MANY TRAPPERS AND ALSO A GREAT SPORT FOR HUNTERS FROM THE LARGER CITIES SURROUNDING THIS AREA. THE PINE AND OAK GROVES IN THE SANDY SECTION OF LAKE COUNTY VANISHED TO AID IN THE BUILDING of Chicago. Lake County is of historic importance,being crossed by the Sac Trail. This trail crossed LaPorte, Porter, and L ake Counties, THENCE INTO MICHIGAN AND TO THE WEST. THE TWO MAIN TRIBES WERE THE POTOY. ' AM I ES AND THE MIAMI I NO I ANS . THEY WERE PEACEFUL UNLESS DIS¬ TURBED BY THE WHITE SETTLERS. ONE OF THE WHITE SETTLERS WHO WAS MOST FRIENDLY WITH THE INDIANS WAS ALEXANDER ROBINSON. HE WAS MANY nrrrrr.mr i Wl i a i l i it AI Ni TIMES WARNED BY THE MIAMI TRIBE WHEN AMY TROUBLE WAS BREWING. ONE INSTANCE WAS THE MASSACRE AT FORT DEARBORN. HE WAS WARNED NOT TO GO THERE FOR HIS ANNUAL SUPPLY OF GOODS. IT IS SAID THAT HE LIVED TO BE 104 YEARS OF AGE. In 1837 THERE WAS ONLY ONE POST OFFICE IN THE WHOLE OF LAKE County. It was situated at the present site of Crown Point. The FIRST COUNTY JAIL WAS ERECTED OF ROU ' .H-HEWN LOGS AT A COST OF ONLY 064. In i840 Crown point was made the County Seat. This became PERMANENT ONLY AFTER A BITTER STRUGGLE WITH HAM.jOND IN 1852. CROWN POINT WAS THE TERRITORIAL CENTER, WHILE HAMMOND WAS ON THE NORTH BORDER, BUT IN THE INDUSTRIAL CENTER. —Paul Eich ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF LAKE COUNTY TO REALIZE THE GREAT DEVELOPMENT OF LAKE COUNTY ECONOMICALLY, WE MUST GET AN IMAGINATIVE PICTURE OF IT ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. Homes were widely scattered, and very meager. They were with FEW CONVENIENCES-NO ELECTRICITY, GAS, POWER, INTERIOR FINISHINGS AND ALL THINGS THAT WE CONSIDER ESSENTIAL. Travel was done by horses, small boats and by foot. In i837, ONE ROUNO-TRIP TO CHICAGO FROM EAGLE CREEK TOWNSHIP TOOK NINE DAYS. The trip was made with carts pulled by ten oxen. Roads were prac¬ tically UNKNOWN. PRACTICALLY ALL THINGS USED WERE MADE IN THE HOME. THE WOMEN, FOR EXAMPLE, WERE KEPT VERY BUSY DOING ALL THE SPINNING AND OTHER NECESSARY JOBS. NOW LET US TURN FROM THIS QUEER PICTURE AND LOOK AT THE PRE¬ SENT CONDITIONS. WE SEE BEAUTIFUL HOMES, BOTH THE EXTERIOR AND IN¬ TERIOR IMPROVED BEYOND COMPREHENSION. WITH A TOUCH OF THE FINGER WE IMMEDIATELY HAVE HEAT, LIGHT, AND POWER AT OUR COMMAND FOR THE LESSENING OF OUR WORK. Today there are hundreds of miles of good solid roads in this county. There are also more than sixteen main railroads through Lake County. Several important ship canals have also been built. Our trains, busses, trucks, cars, airplanes, dirigibles, and street AND ELEVATED TRAINS WOULD ASTONISH PEOPLE ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. in .s. .[.i.ill 50 [E I 3 1 II -« l A i INj in Industries h .ve grown remarkably in the Centennial or this county. The greatest iron and steel center in the world, the world ' s largest oil refinery, world ' s greatest cement company , GREATEST MISCELLANEOUS STEEL MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN AMERICA AND COUNTLESS OTHER LARCE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED IN LAKE COUNTY. Needless to say, there are hundreds of small businesses that ARE NECESSARY TO SUPPLY FOOD, SHELTER, AN0 COMFORTS TO THE MANY EN¬ GAGED IN THESE GREATER INDUSTRIES. IN 1684 THE POPULATION OF LAKE COUNTY WAS l5,09l AND IN 1934, was 262,3i0. Since the population in i884 was so small, just imag¬ ine WHAT IT WAS IN 1837. OUR TAXES IN ONC SMALL TOWN TODAY EXCEED THE AMOUNT FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY IN 1637. IT SEEMS ONLY RICHT THAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF TODAY SHOULD AP¬ PRECIATE OUR GREAT HERITAGE FROM THE PAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS, YET PROMISE OURSELVES THAT THE NEXT ONE HUNDRED YEARS SHOULD SHOW OUR GREAT PROGRASS, GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. —Pauline Peeves GEOGRAPHY OF LAKE COUNTY AND THE DUKES PARK Dunes Region of Indiana consists of two parts; first, the part WHICH OCCUPIES THE OLD BED OF THE 50—CALLED KANKAKEE LAKE, LYING MOSTLY SOUTH OF KANKAKEE RIVER; SECOND THE P..RT IN NORTHWESTERN Indiana, the section occupied largely by Lake County and made up of the Lake Chicaco bed. Out of the 3000 square miles of Dunes which lie in Illinois and Indiana, about 2000 square miles lie in Indiana AND A GREATER SHARE OF THESE LIE IN LAKE COUNTY, YOU HAVE ALL HEAR0, DOUBTLESSLY, WHAT FORMEO THE 0UNES. YOU WILL REMEMBER FROM YOUR GRADE SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY THAT IT WAS THE LAST GREAT GLACIER FROM THE NORTH WHICH FORMED THE TOPOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY, AND GEOLOGY OF THE MIDDLEWESTERN STATES. The last glacier came in three lobes—to the northwest came the Saginaw lobe, to the northeast came the Erie lobe and from the DIRECT NORTH CAME THE MICHIGAN LOBE. V. ' HEN THESE LOBES MELTED THE Kankakee River must have been a sight to behold, for it was forty FEET ABOVE ITS PRESENT LEVEL AND WAS A WILD, RUSHING STREAM, WHICH WAS SEVERAL MILES WIDE AND FLOWED AT THE FOOT OF THE VALPARAISO Moraine. L 0 u E l L I A N 9 Ill fro E.L.L.I.A N - I.g 1.7 !oi. ......-.. 1 ' 2 } This river formed a part of the Lake Kankakee and kept the PART WHICH IS OCCUPIED FREE FROM DEPOSITS OF STONE, CLAY, AND DEBRIS, AND CONSTANTLY FILLED UP THE OTHER PART OF LAKE KANKAKEE WHICH AT VARIOUS INTERVALS DUE TO SOME FREAK OF NATURE DROPPED, EX¬ POSING GREAT SANDBARS, THUS FORMING PART OF OUR DUNES. OTHER PARTS NOT SO HIGH AS THE FORMER WERE KEPT MOIST, AND WERE COVERED WITH VE AT AT I ON AND THUS OUR SANDBARS OF TODAY WERE FORMED. GOOD EX¬ AMPLES OF SANDBARS MAY BE FOUND NEAR GLENWOOD. Michigan lobe formed most of Lake County ' s dunes. At one time Lake Chicago was much higher, and this can readily be seen by the well developed shore line it left. At some places the water cut DEEPLY INTO THE ROCK DEPOSITS BROUGHT BY EARLIER GLACIERS AND FORM¬ ED CRAIGS AND BLUFFS. AT OTHER PLACES, WHERE ONLY SAND CAN BE FOUND IT RECEDED AND FORMED BEACHES, SUCH AS ARE FOUND NEAR GLENWOOD. The BEACH OF THIS LAKE IN INDIANA IS TO A GREAT EXTENT IN LAKE County. Entering at Dyer to about three-fourths of a mile north of Merrillville, then to Ainsworth and to McCool. From McCool it runs near Chesterton, thence north to the Michigan state line. After remaining at this level for some time the lake again re¬ ceded, AND FORMEO CALUMET BEACH, WHICH MAY BE FOUND IN LAKE COUNTY ALONG HlLAND AND RlDGE ROAD; IT ALMOST TOUCHES THE DUNES PARK. Next the Lake formed the Tolleston 3each, so called because it RAN THROUGH A TOWN CALLED TOLLESTON, NOW A PART OF GARY AT ABOUT i9th street. It is on this beach that Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, and Whiting are founded. The strangest fact to me about the Dunes is that plants which WILL GROW NOWHERE ELSE IN INDIANA OR POSSIBLE THE U.S. WILL THRIEVE on the Dunes soil. Extreme southern and northern plants grow side BY SIDE AND SEEM TO BE QUITE HAROY. EVEN ORCHIDS, WHICH ARE SO VERY RARE GROW SO PROFUSELY ON THE DUNES THAT ONE BOTANIST CLASSED TWENTY-SEVEN VARIETIES. The first sponsor of the Dunes as a State Park was the Prairie club of Chicago. Finally after so,.;e trouble and argument with the STATE LEGISLATURE A CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL DUNES PARK WAS ESTAB¬ LISHED in Indiana in April i9i7.
