FOREWORD THIS YEAR AMERICANS WILL LOOK TO BOTH EAST AND WEST AS MECCAS FOR THE TOURIST THE METROPOLIS IN THE EAST IS DEPICTING A PAGEANT OF WHAT AMERICA IS TO BE IN THE FUTURE. THE METROPOLIS IN THE WEST IS PORTRAYING AMERICAN DEVELOP¬ MENT IN THE PAST. BOTH CITIES WILL ATTRACT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. AMERICA, WITH THE REST OF TjHE WORLD, IS PASSING THROUGH A PERIOD OF TRANSITION. OLD IDEAS AND BELIEFS MUST BE RECON¬ STRUCTED TO MEET THE CHANGING ORDER IN OUR TURBULENT SOCIETIES. ONLY THE FUTURE CAN TELL WHAT OUR DESTINY WILL BE. WITH THESE THOUGHTS IN MIND, THE STAFF OF THE LOWELL IAN, WITH THE ASSIST¬ ANCE OF MISS COOK AND MR. HAM, HAS SELECTED THE NEW YORK FAIR AS AN INSPIRA¬ TION AND HAVE USED THE ART AND ARCHITEC¬ TURE THERE TO ILLUSTRATE THE DIFFERENT DIVISION PAGES OF THIS BOOK. •£ Ul ' O LOWELL I AN 19 3 9 I L 0 W E L L I A N TABLE OF CONTENTS ADM INI STRATI ON.9 CLASSES.13 ACT I VI TIES .75 ATHLETICS.109 FEATURES.121 L 0 W E L L I A N I 19 3 9 LOWELL IAN O ' m 0 1939 LOWELL IAN 9 3 9 L 0 W E L L I A N R.

As waves foamed and crashed, one 0 hundred and four Freshmen washed ashore. Paul W Roberts, Paul Davis, and Wa i do Bartz were e- E lected to take charge. Miss Virginia Scritch- L field and Mr. James Car ter supervised. Our L stormy character was revealed in our aggress- | ive football and basketball team. A large A percentage of our more rhythmic members took N up band, while our more energetic girl ath¬ letes launched their careers as champions of the school. Donald Bailey and Victoria Kuntz represented us in the island council. During this year we chose green skull caps, with L. H. S. blocked in white, as our Freshman fad. By the end of the first year we were able to find our way about the island. Despite falling trees and raging winds eighty per cent of our former passenger list returned. We then chose Paul Roberts as chief lion and elephant fighter-offer, with Paul Davis and AdeIia Ewer as sword bearers. Miss Ariel Green and Mr. George Ham acted as ref¬ erees. Several of our students were interest¬ ed in science; three of whom received awards, Jane Biesecker, Ad rian Cor fen, and Alice Ann An tsbuechler. For our well being and fair treatment we elected Jane Biesecker and Rich¬ ard Likens to be sent to council. Eleanor Sirois was announced the most popular girl in L school as the result of a school-wide popular- 0 i t y contest. Mildred Rhein won third prize W in the Safety Education Essay Contest spon- E sored by Mr. Goodwin. This year we chose our L class sweaters. After looking at many kinds L and colors of sweaters, we chose maroon and | silver with script style letters. A By the beginning of the third year the N storm had abated and our of i f appeared the leaders of the Junior clan; Waldo Bartz; Elea- I nor Sirois, and Paul Davis. To represent us in the council we chose June Gefrost and Paul 1939 LOWELL I AN 1939 LOWELL I AN I 9 3 9 Roberts. It was in this year that we honored our Senior triends. We held a prom in their L honor. We chose also our Senior gift to the 0 school--gym equipment tor all gym classes. We W also had the privilege ot choosing our class £ rings which were delivered to us at the be - L ginning ot our Senior year. To make money L this year with which to present our pr om a n d I give the school a gift, v e sold football and A basketball schedules. Our more talented mem- N bers enacted a play called “Full House. :I Shortly after the beginning of a fourth long year on the island we were notified that a ship, the S. S. Victory, was coming to res¬ cue us. To keep up our spirits and help us to prepare for our taking-off we chose Waldo Barfz, Ned Williams, and Eleanor Sirois. Em¬ ily Peterman and Paul Davis were sent to the last council. Posing for pictures, choosing invitations, selecting caps and gowns, etc. we were kept rather busy during the entire year. We are now looking forward to a ban¬ quet to be given by the Juniors. The Senior Class of 1939 has been well represented during all four years. In boys’ athletics, football and basket- ball, v e were represented by M Barkey, W. Barfz F.Bender, J.Brown, M.Busselberg, R.Childress, C.Clark, A . Cun n i n gh am, D.Kei thley, J. Ke i thley P.Davis, K.Duncan, E. Ferris, P.Roberts, and Ned Willi ams. In girls ' athletics, M.Bran- nock, P.Bryant, R.Clark, A.Cor ten, M.Fifield, N.Duncan, A.Ewer, M.Griggs, D.Hatha way, Z. Hiland, V.Kuntz, D.Pogue, J.Ragon, J.Ross, E.Schilling, and E.Sirois starred. In Band the Seniors have been represent¬ ed by A.AmfsbuechIer, D.Bailey, J.Biesecker, R.CIark, A.Cor ten, M.Fifield, D.Hathaway, M. Klukas, J.Pattee and J.Ragon. The Seniors of 1939 have tried to assert themselves in a favorable way and feel that we have accomplished this feat. We only re¬ gret that v e will not return next year to e n joy the opportunities that school life offers us.

Austin Cunningham made the present¬ ation speech. There was considerable deliberation upon the question of just what to give the school, but ultimately it was decided that L. H. S. was in dire need of gym equipment. It was agreed that $90 be allotted tor the purchase of this equipment and a committee was appoint¬ ed to select and buy the goods. The committee, consisting of Waldo Ba r t z John Keithley, Paul Roberts and Eleanor Sir- ois, obtained catalogues from the various sporting goods houses, consulted the physical education instructors, and then ordered the equipment. The athletic goods, which con¬ sisted of a 16 pound medicine ball, a spring¬ board, a pearl-white leather punching bag, a swivel for the punching bag, and two pairs of boxing gloves, was ordered from the Fred Medart Manufacturing Company and the Lowe and Campbell Company. Being more or less novelties the medic¬ ine ball and sprin gbo ard are attracting much attention. The 16 pound medicine ball is a means of developing muscles. The springboard is used in the gym classes, the less skilled of the gym students contenting theirselves with merely learning the correct jumping tech¬ niques, while the mo re skilled turn flips and forward rolls from the springboard to their hearts con tent pupils of L wis dom of students wi ours. .

He was even con¬ siderate enough to get us a guide, a POTTER by trade, but at present unemployed. The roads were too rough for the car, so a WAGENER agreed to take us there for a SCMIL- L ING. When we arrived, we were SURPRISEd to sec a FERRIS wheel, and booths similar to our fairs. We were hungry, so we bought some peppermint PATTEEs, and then began to TREMPER round the grounds. As we passed the cattle exhibits, we were surprised to see a COWAN calf, each with a RAGON its head to keep off the sun. Some very strange things were going on. In one of the tents, a STOUT TAYLOR was CORTEN one of the sooth-SAYERS. He was saying, You certainly HATHAWAY with you.

Owing to thiS I great change critics wonder when pupils have A time to study. N The greater number of pages of this book bring out those ex!ra-curricuIar activities, however, this pace is devoted to those pupils who work hard at their lessons and show out¬ standing scholastic ability. We present here a list of 21 seniors having the highest number of grade points. This selection is based on scholarship alone; but look elsewhere in this volume, and you will see that they have also been leaders in all activities. They found time to study, and by combining intelligence and hard work, have achieved the distinction here awarded. 1. Jean Raoon.. 2. Eleanor Sirois. 3. Adc 1 i a Ewer. . . . 4 . Emily Peterman. , .

However, at the beginning of the second sem¬ ester the faculty voted to change the way in which a student could be distinguished. In¬ stead of fourteen points being necessary, an average of 3.5 to 4.0 are needed. The number of points were divided by the number of sub¬ jects taken. At some time during the year the following pupils have made the list.

Later on this year, we will select our class rings and a gift for the school to remember us as an outstanding class. On March I, 1939, the American Legion sponsored an oratorical contest at the high school. The contestants were scored on sub¬ ject, oratoric al ability, poise, and person¬ ality. We are very proud to announce that the winners were two of our classmates, name¬ ly, M.Ruge and L.Tilton. They will now enter the district contest, and if as successful there, will go on to the state and national contests. The subject of the contest was the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. For the last three years, our class has played an important part in every school ac¬ tivity. Our leading boy athletes are J. Bailey, C.Black, R.Cornell, F.Corns, A.Dorsch M.Gord, R.Gifford, W.Haemker, L.Heckle, L. He rI i t z, R.Hoffman, J.Horner, A.Kretz, J.

Our huge cast consisted of 119 members with James VanDeur sen as president and co- starring Howard Mourer and Betty Conley as vice-president and secretary-trcasurer res¬ pectively. Also playing important roles were Faye Tyler and Bill Langen, who were student council members and Harriett Peterson and George Meadows, representatives in the Sun¬ shine Club. Under the competent direction of Miss Arnold and Mr. Wernz, the first act of our drama was very successful. The athletic element in our production was well taken care of by James VanDeur sen, Richard Hi land, Char¬ les Carroli, and Howard Mourer for the boys, and Margie Wehle, Harriett Robinson, Betty Wineland, and Dorothy Keithley, who excelled in the girls ' sports. Harriett Peterson and Herbert Rawlings won first and second places respectively in the Freshman Literary contest sponsored by the Lowell Womans Club. Among those who were distinguished students five out of six times were Jewell Bailey, June Floyd, James Hunt, Earl Pace, Harriett Peter¬ son, Herbert Rawlings, and Faye Tyler. Faye Tyler, Harriett Peterson, and Jewell Bailey were the three who had the highest number of honor points at the end of the first scene. Our first act featured Earl Pace, the only licensed amateur radio station operator in school, and James Hunt, the dairy champion of Lake County. The curtain dropped with the Freshman picnic at the Castlebrook Golf Course. TIME MARCHES ON The curtain rose slowly, serenely, and silently on the second act of our master pro¬ duction. The scene is again the grand Lowell High School, but the cast of 103 are now LOWELL I AN 19 L 0 W E L L I A N I 9 3 9 LOWELL I AN I Sophomores. In this scene the stars change-- we have Herbert Rawlings, president; Carolynn Be hrn lander, vice-president; and Faye Tyler, secretary-treasurer. We elected Jane Seals and James VanDeur sen as student council mem¬ bers and Dorothy Krumm and Bill Langen tor the Sunshine Club. In this act our directors were Miss McKenzie, Mr. Ham, and Mr. Brent- linger. The class colors ot navy-blue and gold were selected and most ot the cast pur¬ chased sweaters ot these colors. The same persons who starred in the tirst act again are the outstanding athletes. In this act the Sophomore girls won the basketball and ping- pong tournaments. We are very proud to have James VanDeur sen in our class since he was a regular on the varsity football team. Also Herbert Rawlings visited the state legislature and also won first place in the Lake County Latin contest. In the band Billy Alger is trumpet soloist; Cleone Childers is leading flute player; Harriett Peterson plays the only oboe; and Jewell Bailey is the only bassoon player. The Sophomores participate in a great number of the clubs including Red Pepper, Glee Club, Science Club, Ag Club, Press Club, and the Lowellette and Lowe I Man Staffs. Our drama has been very successful thus far and we trust that in the following two years we will be as great an asset to L owe I I High as we have been in the past.

LOWELL IAN 19 L 0 W E L L I A N I 9 3 9 I LOWELL I AN 1939 t PRESS CLUB Press Club, a new organization at Lowell High School, was founded in the fall of 1938. Its purpose is to arouse an interest on the part of the student in journalistic and news¬ paper work. The members of the club write and edit the school paper, L o we I Ie 11e, which is pub¬ lished once every two weeks. Also, they pub¬ lish a yearbook, the Lowe Ilian. This year, a handbook was completed of rules and regula¬ tions of the school, subjects and courses of¬ fered, and the club ' s and activities open to students entering the school. Opportunity is offered the Seniors of the Press Club to join the National Quill and Scroll Fraternity. The dues for membership to Press Club is twenty-five cents per sem¬ ester. L 0 W E L L I A N I 9 3 9 The Press Club meets every third Tuesday during Activity period in room Thirty-four. The president of the club presides over the meet!ng. When the club was first organized a con¬ stitution had to be adopted by the club to fit the need for regulations and entrance require¬ ments. Hence, the would-be members had to vote on the adoption of the constitution be¬ fore they knew whether they were really con¬ stitutionally qualified to be a member. How¬ ever, the club has now adopted a satisfactory constitution. To attain membership in the Press Club a student must have an A or B average and be interested in the work of the club. No dis¬ tinction is made regarding classes and all classes may be represented in the club.

I 9 3 9 LOWELL I AN 1939 O W vO LOWELL IAN 1939 I LOWELLETTE On October 14, 1934 the Journalism class under the direction of Mr. Smith, published the first issue of the L Weekly ' 1 . The first editor, Edwin VanNada, headed a staff of seventeen members. The mimeographing was done by Mr. Ham and his commercial classes. At the beginning of the second semester Harriett Wa- son was chosen editor. In 1935 the 11 L Weekly 1 ' was placed under the co-sponsorship of Miss Scritchfield and Mr. Ham, with Marcia Shurte as editor. The staff was made up of fwenty-four members. The paper was greatly improved in appearance due to the new mimeograph machine, mimeoscope, and the use of colored inks. If was entered in the National Duplicated Paper Association contest at Danville, Indiana and received a rating of ' ' Superior Merit, ' 1 the highest rat¬ ing given. In 1936 the ' L Weekly, 1 ' under the same sponsors and with Paulette Eich as editor, underwent various changes. The staff had grown to thirty-eight members. With the in¬ troduction of a new subject, Advanced Office Practice, the students were given an oppor¬ tunity to work on the paper and receive credit for it. This subject was taught by Mr. Ham. On October 30, the make-up of the paper was chanaed to consist of six three-column v pages, the name was changed to ' Lowellette and publications were mode bi-monthly. Under L these new arrangements in editing the Lowell- 0 ette, 1 ' various staff members were made res- W ponsible for preparing page ' ' dummies . E Again in 1936 the paper was given an A ' L rating by the National Duplicated Paper As- L sociation and asked to submit a page to the I Idea Book which they published. During this A same year, the exchange editor of the Lowell- N ette received many more requests for the ex¬ change of school papers than could be granted. Under the co-sponsorship of Miss Land- L 0 W E L L I A N 1939 LOWELL I AN vO UJ vO 1939 LOWELL I AN I 9 grebe and Mr. Ham, and the editorship of Ruth 9 Schutz, a six-page L o we I I e 11 e ' ' was published bi-monthly in 1937. Five ot the pages had L three columns and the other, the editorial 0 page, had two columns. The school purchased W several new typewriters with various styles E ot type and thus it was possible to create L greater variety in the paper. L In 1938 under the co-sponsorship ot Mr. I Brentlinger and Mr. Ham, and Jean Ragon as A editor, the style of the L o we I I e 11 e was very N similar to that ot the previous year, with five three-col umn pages and one ot t wo co I umn s. The make-up of the pages was somewhat changed. Again the L o we I I e 11 e was honored by the N-D.P.A. and contributed a page to the 1939 Idea Book. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Ham for the fine appearance of our paper. The editorial policy of the l! L o we I I e 11 e lf is: To encourage more school spirit in all school activities; to inform the students in an unbiased way and to present student opin¬ ion; and to further good sportsmanship.

Since that time it has increased much in size a nd ability. In 1935, mothers ot the various members organized what was known as the Band Mothers’ Club. These mothers have had as their aim to aid the band financially and other v ise. They have given their whole-hearted support, and have aided greatly the advancement of our band. The presen f director, Mr. C. W. Tritt, has been with us one year and has helped the band progress rapidly. During the year, the name. Band Mother ' s Club was changed to the Band Boosters ' Club. Anyone interested may enter. Full band rehearsals are held every day during Activities period and each member is required to devote as many free periods to band practice as he or she can allow. Each member receives one credit a year. The band has played at most school func¬ tions. They have also participated in many community affairs. For the sixth consecutive year the band entered the district contest. This year they proudly displayed their new military uniforms which were made possible by the greatly ap¬ preciated contributions of the American Legion and many other organizations of the community. This year instead of presenting emblems to the deserving members of the band, they were awarded service stripes for each year of wo r k .

The object of the club is perhaps obvious through its title. One of the purposes of its organization is to bring a little cheer and happiness to the students who are ill or convalescing from illness. An¬ other purpose of the club is to send flowers and sympathy cards to a bereaved family in case of death. In the case of illness, gifts are sent in the name of the home room from which the student belongs. When death occurs in a fam¬ ily, flowers are sent from contributions of the entire s chooI. During the current year, the club has been experimenting with a new system of elect¬ ing officers. The officers get their posi¬ tion by automatic succession. If the system is successful, the Senior boy and girl, respec¬ tively, are automatically president and vice president; the Junior boy and girl are the student council representative and secretary treasurer. Therefore, when the Senior grad¬ uate, the Junior members are eligible for the executive positions; the sophomore boy will be the student council representative and the sophomore girl assumes the position of s ecre¬ tary-treasurer. The only election, then, will be for the Freshman members. The personnel of fhe club is made up of one representative from each home room. Mr. Shufts serves as the faculty sponsor of the club. The members are as follows: F re shmen: Millard Clark Ann Ross Sophomo res: Bill L an gen Dorothy Krumm Juniors: Hayden Pa tz Esther KIemm Seniors: Blaine Ebert Elberta Raw lings 1939 LOWELL IAN I 9 3 9 L C w E L L I A N 1939 LOWELLIAN I 9 3 HONOR SOCIETY 9 For Hie first time, in the 1936-37 school L year, a new plan, evolved to honor students 0 who had entered into and distinguished them- W selves in various school activities, was in- E troduced into the Lowell High School curricu- L Ium. This Ho nor Society was found to be s u c - L cessful and it was decided to make it an es- I tablished society. A Every pupil in the school is credited N with the work he has Jone. 3cing a member of any club, organization, team, or play entitles that person to honor points. Those members who are selected as officers of t ' -eir respec¬ tive activity are given extra (joints. Distin¬ guished students and student assistants are also awarded points. At the end of the year a record is made from the faculty ' s reports and the hig.hest three in each class are selected. Senior honor students will in addition, have their name placed on a plaque and will receive certain honors at commencement.

Meet¬ ings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month when curricular and extra-curricular problems are brought up for discussion and constructive criticisms are ottered. Mr. Brannock is present at the meetings to learn the viewpoint of the students and to give to the student representatives the viewpoint of the faculty. By this interchange of ideas closer cooperation in the school is reached. Members of the council are elected for one year terms by the students and each is directly responsible to the group which he represents. Each home room and each club or organization elects one representative. Sug¬ gested changes and ideas arc brought from the Activity Rooms and introduced by the repre¬ sentative of the organization . Open discus¬ sions follow with all members taking part. Decisions are made and are considered as suggestions and not necessarily as a deter¬ mined course of action. The officers in the council this year are as follows: President, Emily Peterman; First Vice President, Paul Jay Davis; Second Vice President, James Van Deursen; Secretary- Treasurer, Donald Bailey. The student representatives are Shirley Hepp, Freshman Girls; William Kennedy, Fresh¬ man Boys; Jane Seals, Sophomore Girls; James Van Deursen, Sophomore Boys; Phyllis Jane Spindler, Junior Girls; Robert Hoffman, Jun¬ ior Boys; Emily Peterman, Senior Girls; Paul Jay Davis, Senior Boys; Kenneth Duncan, Ag Club; Marguerite Olson, Red Pepper Club; Hay¬ den Patz, Sunshine Club; Adelia Ewer, Press Club; Betty Black, Glee Club; Donald Bailey, Science Club; Bill Algers, Band; and Waldo Bartz, Senior President. 39 LOWELL IAN L 0 W E L L I A N I 9 3 9 3 f LOWELL I AN STUDENT COUNCIL L 0 w E L L I A N Emily Pe terma n-- Pau I J.

The club was tormed for the promotion and benefit of the boys who wish to add to an ambition of farming as an occupation. The Ag Club also tends to increase the interest in the intelli¬ gent choiccof farm occupations and it creates a love of rural life. Each year this club makes several trips of great interest and ben¬ efit to the student covering rtiany different phases of agriculture and furthering the aims of the club. Under the supervision of Mr. Little, the club attended the Chicago Board of Trade, The Northern Indiana Muck Crop Show, Purdue Field drops Day, the I n t e r n a t i on a I Livestock Exposi¬ tion in Chicago, the Mercantile Exchange, Stock Market and the Albert Dickinson Seed Compa n y. At the Northern Indiana Muck Crop Show Maurice Busselberg, Leopold Kalvaitis, Ken¬ neth Duncan and Robert Childress composed the winning Vegetable Identification and Judging team. This is the second year in succession that a Lowell team has won this honor and Leo¬ pold Kalvaitis con te s t. held the highest score i n the r v tis a ! r A L 0 W E L L I A N 19 3 9 LOWELL I AN o m O ' 1939 LOWELL I AN � 9 3 9 L 0 W E L L I A N SCIENCE CLUB In 1934, the Science Club of Lowell High School was organized, under the supervision of the science instructor, Mr. Brannock. The club, in 1935, became a member of the Indiana State Junior Academy of Science, which is a division of the Indiana Academy of Science, The club has as its chief purpose the development of the student body ' s interest in science. Because of this policy only students who are taking science during the year can seek membership, or who have had two years of science are permitted to join the club. In¬ vitations are sent at the beginning of each school year to every prospective member, there¬ by insuring the club that only students in¬ terested in science will be granted mem be r- ship. The club meetings are held once a month, during activity period on Tuesday. During the progress of the science meetings, reports are given on current topics of scientific inter¬ est. Every year the club is entertained by a uest speaker. Dr. Davis, whose topic was ’ ' Blood ' 1 , was the guest speaker of the current year. Previous guest speakers and topics are: Dr. Behmlander, Mental Telepathy and Miss Scritchfield, A Trip to Alaska. The club al¬ so participates in Open House, displaying var¬ ious science projects, and in the Carnival, when it sponsors a movie. Trips are taken each year to various places of interest- At present, a trip is being planned to the Planetarium and Field ' s Museum. Last year the club journeyed to the Rosenthal institute in Chicago. Pins are awarded every year to the four most deserving members of the club. The club votes on the people to receive this honor.

It was originally planned to have one l club, the Green Pepper Club, and one for up- L per-classmen, the Red Pepper Club. This po- | licy was followed for several years, and then x in 1934, the two were united into one club, n bearing the name of Red Pepper Club. Require¬ ment for entrance was originally 100 points. This quota was raised to 300 in 1935, and in 1939, was a ga i n r a i sed, this time to 500. The point s y s tern of the Red Pepper Club is as folio vis r 100 points for a 1st team in any sport. 100 points for ping pong single ' s champ. 50 points for second team. 50 po i n t s for ping pong doubles champs 50 points for officers of club. 25 points f o r yell leaders. 25 poin t s for captains. 25 points for hiking. (3 per mi le) 10 points for each member of 1 s t team if team wins intramural tournament. Points may also be obtained in achieve¬ ments and track. Anyone getting a total of 1500 points may get a chenille letter and any one getting 1900 points gets a gold pin. The name ot the Senior girl v ho makes the most l_ points in her four years is engraved on the 0 bronze statue in the trophy case. The girl ft who makes the most points during the year i s f awarded a chenille chevron. L The Club sponsors two social events a I year, a formal dance at which all athletes I are honored and a Mo ther ' s Tea, at which the A mothers of the students are entertained. N To make money this year, the Red Peppers sold candy at the football and basketball I games, raffled a radio, and sponsored a bur- g lesque basketball game. 3 9 1939 LOWELL IAN I 9 3 9 L 0 w E L L I A N 39 LOWELL I AN SENIOR PLAY Mo un t a i n Mump s We ' ve heard of Imported rugs And imported camels with humps But never imported bugs Which gave us imported mumps! However, in the Senior class play given April 28, many events occurred for which no precedent had ever been set. The play was ' ' Mountain Mumps by Austin Goetz, a comedy permeated with love interest and adventure. A pretty young girl, Peg Sothern, walks into the most chaotic mad family imaoinable. The society minded family is trying to keep up a pretence of wealth while they are ac¬ tually starving. Peg walks in and because of a misunderstanding, Mrs. Chilton believes her to be a niece. She asks, or demands that Peg take over the running of the house. Peg, through various means, finds out about the family ' s distress and determines to set them back on their irresponsible feet again. Rul¬ ing with an iron hand, she sends Sue and Flor¬ ence to the kitchen and Carl to the lawn mow¬ er. Mrs. Chilton is astounded to think that her children must work and to make the sit¬ uation more humiliating, several of their friends call. Kerry Regan comes to see Flor¬ ence; Mr. Regan, his father, to see Mrs. Chil¬ ton and a society matron, Mrs. Carolyn Shot is and her daughter, Lida, top off the afternoon callers. L Cal, because he could not keep up pay- 0 ments, lost his car to a financing company W and stole it back, hiding it in a nearby gar- E age. When a cop, young handsome Homer Riggs, L comes after him, Peg hides Cal in the laundry L room. I Link Forester, a breezy young inventor A comes to ask Mr. Regan to finance a test of N an invention of his, v hich he claims will make gold mining profitable in regions v hcre it was I not practicable before. 9 3 9 LOWELL I AN 1939 LOWELL I AN I Peg decides that she has a tuil house ' 1 that might win some tricks it played correct¬ ly. She develops an imaginary case of Hima¬ laya Mountain Mumps. The doctor quarantines the whole house. Peg, in turn imagines every¬ body but Sue, who insists that she has had all the mumps she wants, into a fine plague of Mountain Mumps. Timothy Regan and Mrs. Chilton, while consoling each other, fall in love and plan to be married. Their plans are nearly spoil¬ ed by Carolyn Shotts who wanted Timothy for herself and Kerry for Lida. Peg, believing in Link, asks Mrs. Chilt¬ on for an option on some land she owns in the Mojave Oesert. Feeling indebted to her, Mrs. Chilton agrees but is perplexed. However Peg marries Link so it ' s all in the family. Sue had encountered Homer Riggs before. He had arrested her for speeding several times but she had induced him to tear up the tick¬ ets. Sue decides that she ' d like to be taken into permanent custody in the arms of the law. Wh ile all the house is in turmoil, a call comes from Patsy Holmby, the expected niece. She is to arrive soon. Mrs. Chilton starts to berate Peg for being an imposter, then thanks her for her clever scheming. Peg re¬ veals herself as a canvassing sales-worn an and all mystery is cleared.

He causes his aunts much worry and he and his pal, Tom Sawyer, are always think¬ ing up some new trick to play on some innocent victim. Mary Jane, the Watsons ' niece, is a little tomboy and always enjoys Huck ' s and Tom ' s tricks immensely. Pluck ' s Father sudden¬ ly appears and frightens them all, even caus¬ ing Mariah Watson and the negro servant, Melba White, to faint. The next afternoon, John Finn tries to get Huck to sign over to his father his share of gold that he and Tom Sawyer found in a cave. Polly and Ruth try to get him to leave the house but are unsuccessful until Mary Jane suddenly appears and frightens them all by telling them the sheriff is coming for John Finn. It is not true, but, not knowing this, Finn leaves hurriedly. In the meantime, Fred Raymond has asked Ruth to marry him, with mischievous Mary Jane as an onlooker. Finn appears again wi th the paper for Huckleberry to sign. He is interrupted by the appearance of the town gossip, Clara Wappinger, and her sister, Amy, He insults them until they leave. Then he threatens to kill Huck unless he signs the paper. Finally, Huck appears to give in, but does not sign his right name. Just then the rest appear and stop Finn as he is hurriedly leaving with the paper in his possession, Huck disappears that night. One year later, Tom Sawyer is trying to make love to Mary Jane under difficulty, for both she and Melba arc in a conspiracy against him.

Following their noses, they entered the portals of L. H. S. where the aroma of cooking food enticed them to the dining room. Having filled their stomachs to the utmost, they ventured into the gym. Immediately inside the door the Freshman girls and the Band petitioned for customers for their candy, waffles and hot dogs. How appetizing, grieved Charlie, but we just can ' t stand any more. So they passed on . look, Charlie, those Junior boys are torturing those little mice. i ' m going over to the Red Pepper Club’s telegram booth and telegraph the humane society. Maybe they’ll order them to release the mice. Oh-h-h-h-h no, exclaimed Charlie. You are not very considerate of rny expensive wood --how would I look with mouse teeth scars all over me? Say, Bergen, seeing that nice tra¬ veling case in the Senior girls ' raffle booth reminds me that it ' s getting monotonous to look at the sides of that same old suitcase you keep me in. Why don ' t you buy a ticket on i t? Never mind, Charlie, your suitcase must be made to order. We could bowl at the Sopho¬ more boys ' booth, but there ' s such a long I ine there now that it looks impossible. Look, let ' s shoot a basket at the Freshman boys ' booth.Oh, boy! I made it! You didn ' t know I used to be a champ at th i s . . . Say--don ' t eat so fast. Too much candy isn ' t good for you. Oh-h-h-h ! Ouch ! Ouch ! Oh, Bergen j Charlie! Charlie!

Come on we see We and I e d and Let ' s n re going home. Oh, Charlie, there ' s Mr. Brannock what they cleared on their carniva.. After inquiring, Mr. Brannock replied, cleared two hundred sixty-three dollars forty seven cents. The Senior boys ' booth with a net profit of tv enty-one dollars eighty-two cents. Several days later Mr. Bergen letter from Mr. Brannock saying teachers had met and decided what the money. The money could either up equally among the various departments purchase extra equipment, or spent as it received a that the to do with be divided to wa s needed. They decided to spend the money on whatever was needed most and as it was needed.

A new system was introduced to accommo¬ date the guests. The visitation hour was be¬ tween 7:30 and 8:30, before the gym program. During the visitation hour the activities and displays of the various classes were ex¬ hibited. On the lower floor were the displays of the Vocational Agriculture Classes con¬ ducted by Mr. Little, showing live stock, sale catalogs, rope knots and splices, and metal roof construction. The Industrial Arts Classes under the supervision of Mr. Wernz, displayed the projects constructed by the be¬ ginning shop classes and drawings done by the advanced classes. The art display under the direction of Miss Cook was doubly interesting because it is a new subject which was intro¬ duced this year. It contained mottoes and lettering, object drawing, figure drawing, and hand bound books. Home Economics, super¬ vised by Miss Springer, had a display of all the garments made, and a good set-up illus¬ trating the study of vitamins and minerals. The Advanced Home Economics Class had note¬ books which they made during the house plan¬ ning and furnishing term, and a survey course of child development from infancy to school age. L O n the middle floor was the Science de- 0 pa r tmen t’s demonstration. The experiments W were under the supervision of Mr. Seeright. E A demonstration was given by each of his sci- L ence classes: biology, zoology, physics, and L chemistry. I On the upper floor the shorthand room, A under the auspices of Mr. Shutts, displayed N the work done in junior business training, bookkeeping, and shorthand. The library, I also supervised by Mr. Shutts, showed thevar- 9 ious steps in preparing a book for circulation. 3 9 1939 LOWELL IAN I 9 3 9 L 0 W E L L I A N n s; o r oil ! 9 3 9 LOWELL I AN 9 l_ l. !

L I A N 1 Q The year 1938-39 marks a return to nor¬ malcy for Red Devil football and but slight deviation in basketball. Closing the 3 7— 1 38 season in football with a defeat handed by Valparaiso, Lowell no longer had an undefeated season to maintain. Consequently, a reaction set in, and the Red Devils dropped three games, one to their traditional rivals, Crown Point. During the year Lowell had a number of captains in football, a gesture of honor to senior men on the team. The team loses by graduation Bartz, Roberts, Davis, D. Keithley J.Keithley, Bender, Williams, Clark, Robinson Cowan, Childress, Duncan, Barkey, Brown, and Miller. Replacing these men will be a vital problem for Coaches Floyd and V ernz next year. An inauspicious record in basketball be¬ lied the true worth of the team. The team won four and lost nine games during the season. Six of the nine losses were dropped by three or four points. Mistakes at crucial moments in the game ended up in a loss for the Red Devils rather than a win. In the sectional tournament held at Roosevelt of East Chicago the Red Devils came through in a sudden death overtime to down Calumet Township 34 to 32. In the second round Lowell was dropped from the running by Hammond Tech 42 to 28. From the Years ' squad Captain Roberts, Davis, Busselberg, Bartz, Williams, and Duncan will be lost by graduation. The problem for next year will be the building of a winning combination around Herlitz, Horner, and Patz. Late in the spring the newly organized track team with Mr. Little doing the coaching met three opponents in a revival of this sport. Meets were scheduled with Griffith, Fair Oaks, and Chesterton. The meets were held at a date too late for publication of results in this annual.

Failing to match the running attack of the Red Devils, Morocco was downed 21 to 0. Piling up a total of 196 yards spelled the defeat of Mo rocco who managed to make 65 yards. Two of three fumbles by Morocco were recovered by Lowell, thus giving a number of good breaks for our boys. John Keithley on a pass from Roberts made the first touchdown, with Kenney Duncan making the other two--one on an intercepted pass, while Bartz made all three extra points from placement. LOWELL 0--CROWN POINT 6 In the second game of the season Lowell bowed to Crown Point for fhe first time in four years. With fangs bared and clawing for revenge the Bulldogs were determined to break their long periodof defeat, but not until the third play in the third period did the break come when Knesek, right halfback, scored on a 47 yard run. Although urown Point scored once, Lowell had more to show as they chalked up 190 yards to -Crown Poin t 1 s 114 and eleven first downs to th ir two. LOW Ti: 6—GEORGETOWN 32 Long runs, freak plays, and a scorching sun were too much for our fighting Red Devils when they were set back by a strong, versatile Georgetown eleven 32 to 6. Georgetown outdistanced Lowell, running up a total of 369 yards to LowelI ' $ 169. Ro¬ berts made the only score for Lov ell which came in fhe first quarter. LOWELL 20--TOL L ESTON 0 I For the first time in Red Devil history g the Blue Raiders of Tolies ton (Gary) were our 3 9 1939 LOWELL IAN L 0 W E L L I A N vO ui o 19 3 9 LOWELL I AN I guests. Although favored to win, they met their tourth deteat ot the season. The Lowell aggregation made the most ot its chances and L was successful in crossing the enemies 1 goal 0 line three times although they did not out- W play the visitors. John Keithley, Red Devil E end, made alI the touchdowns and Barfz made L two extra points to complete the scoring. L I LOWELL 44--WARREN CENTRAL 6 A A small Warren Central team from Indiana- N poIis was whipped quite soundly by the Red Devils 44 to 6 on Oakland Field. Lowell ran up a total ot 351 yards on only eight first downs. The touchdowns were Van Deur sen, 2; Horner, 3; Roberts, I; and Childress, I; with Lappie and VanDeursen mak¬ ing the two extra points. LOWELL 26--GRIFFITH 0 Usually able to hold Lowell to a close score, the Griffith Panthers were completely overrun by our pack of Red Devilson the Grif¬ fith field 2 6 to 0. Roberts scored three times, VanDeursen once, while Bartz made two perfect kicks. The Red Devils gained 380 yards from scrimmage on 13 first downs to 150 yards made by Griffith on 5 first dov ns. LOWELL 9--CR0WN POINT 6 Sweet was the revenge of the Lowell Red Devils when they spilled the Bulldogs of Crown Point 9 to 6 . In this game Lowell showed their versatility by playing everything from |_ straight football to razzle-dazzle plays. g Our Red Devils completely outclassed yv their $dubCity rivals throughout the game £ Crown Point made only 18 yards from rushing, £ while Lowell piled up 103 yards and made 7 l first downs to their 2. Bartz made the touch- | down and kicked the extra point, A safety A completed the scoring. N LOWELL 7--VAL PARA I SO 19 | The Valparaiso Vikings vanquished the 9 3 9 LOWELL IAN 1939 LOWELL I AN 9 L 0 W E L L I A N I 9 3 9 Lowell Red Devils on the latter ' s home field in a sea of mud. Valparaiso, an undefeated team for the season, overpowered the Red De¬ vils from the first kick to the final gun. Rhoda, flashy Viking back, was the outstand¬ ing performer of the evening as he excelled in both running and passing. Valpc made a touchdown in each of the first three quarters v h i I e L o we II waited until the fourth quarter to score her one and only touchdown. Rhoda scored in the first quarter on a 20 yard run, and passed to Kenson for the six pointer in the second quarter. The extra point was good. In the third period Rhoda plunged from the 2 yard line for their last score. Then the last period saw Lowell do their only scoring when Bartz passed to Roberts, who received the ball on the 27 yard line and ran 73 yards for the score. Davis plunged for the extra point making the final score 17 to 7. LOWELL 6--RENSSELAER 0 Senior honor night proved quite success¬ ful as a team of Senior Red Devils marched to victory over a strong Rensselaer team 6 to 0. Our Seniors showed fight and power as they came inside the opponents 20 yard line three times but tv ice their efforts were unavailing and they lost the ball. In the last half Davis seemed to be the only consistent ground gainer as on six consecutive bucks he covered over 33 yards. But not until the last period of the game did Davis succeed in putting over his first touchdown in his L. H. S. football career. This concluded all the scoring for the entire game as Bartz ' try for extra point was wide. 1939 LOWELL IAN I 9 9 L C w E L L I A N t 1 1 939 LOWELL IAN 1 9 3 9 L 0 W £ L L 1939-40 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1 A September 8.

After the first few minutes Lowell scor¬ ed almost at will. The scoring was fairly evenly divided with Roberts scoring 10 points and Patz 9 for the Red Devils. LOWELL 44--BOONE GROVE 24 On December 2, Lowell trounced Boone Grove 44-25 in a fast contest. Trailing 14-13 at the half the Red Dev¬ ils staged a comeback in the second half that set them on top and they just sailed on to victory. Roberts and Herlitz each scored 13 points. LOWELL 24--MOROCCO 29 In their first defeat the Lowell Red Dev¬ ils bowed to Morocco on our floor on December 9, to the tune of 29 to 24. The Beavers were small and speedy but their ability to hit free throws showed their superiority by hitting II of 16 attempts as Lowell could only connect with six out of 16. LOWELL 30--RENSSELAER 37 Losing their second consecutive home game to Rensselaer, the Red Devils staged a game that was interesting but disappointing. Rens¬ selaer ' s under the basket shooting was ac- c u r a t e and the shiftiness ot Ch amn e s s and Bowman often caught the Red Devils flat-footed. The final score was 37 to 30. LOWELL 40--CROWN!

At one time the Bulldogs led 13 to 7 but the Red Devils led 15 to 13 at half-time. 1939 LOWELL IAN 1939 LOWELL I AN I 9 Later in the game the hopes ot Crown Point 9 dwindled as Williams rang up 9 points in two minutes.

N LOWELL I 9--MOROCCO 31 On January 6, Lowell met Morocco there, and lost the second game in one season. Lowell was out in front 13 to 12 at the half mainly through some fine shooting by Ro¬ berts, who scored 7 points. Merchant, Morocco center, ran up a grand total of 23 points in the game of the 31 scored by Morocco. LOWELL 3 I--NORTH JUDSON 22 In the only home game in January, Lowell staged a comeback to down a strong and plucky North Judson team 31 to 22. Led by Roberts with 9 points, the Red Devils showed reserve strength to hang up a victory. LOWELL 2 I--EDI SON 36 January 24, Lowell played one of their stiffest battles of the season with the Edison Eagles of East Gary. Although playing a fast game the Red Devils were somewhat handicapped by a much smaller floor and the boys seemed unable to find the basket. Scoring honors went to Roberts with 8 points. E L LOWELL I2--GRANT PARK 15 L In a tight defensive battle Lowell lost another close game to Grant Park, Illinois, A 15 to 12 on January 27. Herlitz and Roberts made all of Lowell ' s points the first half. At half time Grant Park led 9 to 4.

LOWELL 29—BROOK 32 Another victory was snatched from the hands of the Lowell Red Devils by Brook in an overtime period 32 to 29. Trailing 16 to II at the half Lowell came back and took Brook by surprise as Patz tied the score at 29, thirty seconds before the final gun. The game was won on a free fhrow and a field goal by Corbett, Brook guard, in the second minute of the overtime period. LOWELL 2I--GRIFFITH 30 Friday February 10, the Red Devils were overcome by the Griffith Panthers largely through long shots by Seitzinger, Griffith forward, and Panther free throws in the sec¬ ond half, Griffith rallied to score seven times in- the second half while Lowell managed to contribute two baskets. The score, 30 to 21. LOWELL 17—CROWN POINT 21 Meeting the Crown Point Bulldogs on their floor on February 27 the Red Devils lost a hard battle by four points. The Red Devils were out in front at half time 9 to 6. The playof Grayson and the fail¬ ure of Lowell fo capitalize on wide open shots cosf Lowell a victory over her traditional rivals who went on to win 21 to 17. LOWELL 22—GOOD LAND 26 The Red Devils bo wed to Good I an d, February 24, to end their basketball season in a some¬ what disappointing way. Leading in the first quarter 8 to 6, the Red Devils were somewhat lax in covering under the basket shots during the second period which ended 15 to 10. The last half was play¬ ed on equal terms with Goodland holdino their lead to the end at 26 to 22.

In the fall the intramural program L is started with a team representing each class participating. Soccer, an outdoor sport, is A played early in the fall while weather remains N warm. In previous years the football field was used as the soccer battle ground but as the endurance of the girls was taxed too greatly on this court, another smaller soccer field was laid out. In the final game the Juniors defeated th e Seniors 1-0. Another n e w sport, hit-pin-base-ball was introduced into the athletic curriculum this year. The game is played with a rubber soccer ball and is much like kickball. The Seniors easily defeated all the other com¬ peting teams. The Sophomores won the volley- ring tournament. This year ' s competition for the basket- ba I I champion was especially keen, the Sopho¬ mores and the Seniors fighting it out. The final game was nip and tuck, with the Sopho¬ mores winning by a narrow margin of 3 points. Badminton equipment was obtained this year and Dorcas Pogue proved herself the champion in this tricky game played with birds and racquets. The ping pong honors went to the Sopho¬ mores this year, Marjie Wehle winning the singles, and Harriett Robinson and Marjie Wehle, the doubles. Next to be determined are the volley ball and baseball championship teams. This year, the Sophomores are ahead with 2 tournaments won while the Juniors and Sen¬ iors each have won one.
