' h W: r ! f r r FOREWORD Music is taking a more active part in school life every year. When the band was organized in 1931., there were forty- one members whereas there are now fifty- eight . There have been many marked changes in the band. For many yearSj no credit was received whereas now, active members receive one cred it for two semesters. Another outstanding innovation was the purchase of new band uniforms. A few years ago capes and caps were purchased. In 1939 military uniforms were purchased which greatly improved the appearance of the band� The annual was dedicated to the band this year, so a musical motif was used throughout on all division pages and feature pages. DEDICATION To the Lowell High School Band whose progressive growth has been steadily marked and is taking a more prominent part in school and social activities annually, the class of ' 40 respectfully dedicates this annual. ■ BAND Drums?

He led our Student Council this Johnnie, Oh . The Distinguished list bore his name in 37, and he gained Honorable Mention in ' 39. Football attracted his interest in 38, track ’39, while ’40 found him a member of the Ag club and Student Council. John’s favorite subject is shop, for it is there he can perfect his hobby of making model airplanes, miniatures of the mechanism he someday hopes to pilot. As for Hodel-T ' s you don ' t dare say a good word for them, for John ' s pet peeve is arguing. ROY RANG A very intelligent student with a quiet personality.” Roy rated Honorable Mention in ’37, ' 38, and was a Dis¬ tinguished student ' 39, ' 40. He assisted many students while librarian in ' 39, ' 40, and aided the Senior class to get out of the red as Candy Sales Manager ' 40. The Science club appealed to his scientific mind in 37 and ' 40. Travelling is Roy ' s weakness, especially in his favorite sail boat, which is his hobby. Friends often call him Bangie, but someday he hopes to be known as Captain,” for his ambition is to attend Annapolis and then rise to the head of a large ship. Smooth sailing, Roy. ROBERT BERG A wealth of knowledge and an impish grin. Bob was Distinguished in ' 37, and received Honorable Mention in ' 38, ' 39. He participated in the Science club ' 37, ' 40, Glee club ' 40, and was a member of the Lowellette Staff 40. Not forgetting the three years he kept tine for the band by boating on the big bass drum. Being interested in how famous men made money in the past, Bob ' s favorite subject is history, you see he wants to follow in their footsteps. It won ' t be as easy as swinging a golf club (hobby), but we ' re sure you ' ll shoot straight toward that flag of success. FLORENCE BKENMAN A demure little lass is Flossie Bixey, with nimble fingers for her .favorite subject, typing, and u race for her c � irf rt :■ , wVpjf Ofi ' .i ' j.v ' O hobby, dancing. In her weakness, talking, she uses her pet expression For gosh sakes often. She says her pet peeve is I. K«, but we know Irene is really one of her best pals. A few years hence, she hopes that all L H. S. will patron¬ ize her beauty salon, and with her quiet ways, she should be a good influence on the profession. She was a charter member of the Homo Ec. club in 1940. CHARLES BLACK To see him in his furry cap and talking v ith him. You ' d think he was Daniel Boone ' s very kin. During his four years of high school conquest, he re¬ ceived recognition in the Science club ' 36, � 37{ Band ’37, ' 38) Football ' 37, 38, 39j Track ' 39, Auxiliary Essay Award, ’39; Debate ’39, and was in the Junior Play oast. Chuck won all of his debates (favorite subject) with the Seniors to buy their name cards (hobby) from him. Perhaps he made enough money to retire at an early age (ambition). JOHN L. CALLAHAN John spent most of his time evading girls and books,and in such instances his hobby,motorcycle, came in very hardy. J. L. says his favorite subject is history, but he be¬ lieves even that would be more interesting if it would tell about the races at Indianapolis, and how he can someday beat all records on the Speedway. He was a member of the Latin club in 1940. PHYLLIS CARLSON An active little girl is Phyllis Carlson, and the ' 40 class of girls have much to thank her for by participating in girls ' sports four years, which also earned her a posi¬ tion in the Red Pepper club. She was a member of the Glee club in ' 37, Home Ec club in ' 40, and gained Honorable Men¬ tion four years. As many of the girls in the class, her hobby is dancing and we might add with her weakness,Rensselaer boys. I bet- cha, (her pet expression) she will make a good manager of a boauty salon, which is her ambition. VELLA COMBS Those dark eyes flashed about the halls of Hyde Park, -p -f ' i ■ - — ■ m -p ..rv ■ ■ .1 t M • P f , LCTVL U. _ C IJT A _ fT M _ 1 _ J _ £x _ e JT -L—L r... ,? 1 and Kouts High School before finally settling their glances at Lowell in ' 39. Like her older brothers Toots soon became interested in athletics, and was initiated into the Red Pep¬ per club in ' 40. She was also a member of the Lowellette staff, and made the Honor Roll. Her favorite subject is Speech, whioh might enable her to talk herself into a secretarial position in the future. Dancing is her hobby, but Toots would much rather watch a good football game, her weakness. ROBERT CORNELL ’’There ' s a boy that plays a tuba in our band, and he really plays it very, very well. If you could only see the boy behind the horn, you would know that it was Mr. Bob Cornell.” Besides playing in the band, for four years. Bob was a member of the football team in ' 37, Science club in 37, and Track team in ' 40. FRANK CORNS An instinct for Ag was within me born—You see my last name happens to be Corn(s). Frank was a member of the Science club in ' 37, Ag club and was interested in ' Football in ' 37, ' 3$, in ' 39, and Lowellette staff in ' 40, such athletics as Basketball in ' 37, ' 39, and Track in ' 39 and ' 40. Because of his hobby, baseball, Nibbs” hopes to be a second Dizzy Dean; he certainly has a good start with a weak ness for blondes. MONA CORTEN A mighty jolly lassie with a mighty level head.” All through her high school career Mona wa3 a Distin¬ guished student, active in girls ' sports and the Red Pepper club, of which she had the honor of being president her Sen¬ ior year. She was also interested in the Lowellette and Lowellian, was a member of the Press and Home Ec clubs in •40. From her work assisting Mr. Shutts, Mona derived her ambition to become a librarian, which should surround her with enough bdoks for her hobby, reading. Her weakness is eating, and her pet peeve is boys. NOTE TO READER: It —jrrr- 1 - __ _T ' I 1 . 1 . - -JL-.r—■_ i_ l — J-. r v 17 . r !

MARY AVIS DAHL Poised, pert, and perfect,” might briefly describe this student who for four years was Distinguished, a member of the Band, Science club. Glee club, Lowellette and Lowel-- lian staffs, and was also a participant in girls sports. Red pepper. Press and Latin clubs. Ilary ' s favorite subject is science, which may have in¬ fluenced her desire to become a registered nurse. Maime would much rather listen to a nichelodean (weakness) than to Bonnie ' s poetry (pet peeve); especially when her hobby (Bob¬ by) is around. RICHARD DEATRICK A scientific mind hath he. He knows his Chemistry from A to Z� ” Deak applied this knowledge in performing many exper¬ iments for the Science club in ' 40. He was also a member of the Band ' 39, ' 40 and a Distinguished student in ' 40. It is quite natural that Richard ' s ambition is to be¬ come a Chemical Engineer, since his favorite subject is sci¬ ence. Speaking of subjects, you might ask Richard about Go¬ vernment. He usually replies, Ain ' t it awful? JOHN R. DINWIDDIE He knows about the South Pole, Boats, and Crooks, You see he spends most of his time just reading books. Naturally John is very particular about the material he , reads, catering to those about big business adventures (am¬ bition), hunting (hobby), and Speech (favorite subject); a- voiding however tales that involve girls (pet peeve). NORMAN DINWIDDIE As quick and as lively as his nickname. Frog. As a freshman he belonged to the Band, Football and Basketball squads, and Science club. Froggie realizes that it takes a lot of gas to make a hobby of automobiles, so he hopes to own the Standard Oil Station. If you don ' t lose your temper (weakness), continue studying your favorite subject, bookkeeping, and with your -jh? - ' T T - ----1-1— I TFT ' V it i .- r r d � r -P .0 _ L j .

ADAM DORSCH Men of few words are the best men. In 1937 June started to L. H. S. filling the olass of¬ fice of Sec-treas., for that year, also participating in Basketball and gained Honorablo Mention. In ’38 he left the class and went to Hammond High returning in ' 39. 1940 found him a member of the Lowellette staff. Adam likos to spend his extra time fishing, but I fear he will have to uso a very long lino if he over oxpects to anglo often as an aviator. Ho boliovos that all the effort the jitterbugs use to do the dancing should bo exerted in manipulating their fingers in his favorite subject oftyping. Strange, for June is a native of Shelby. EVELYN ECHTERLING If you wanted a friend you could depend on Echie. Evelyn participated in such activities as Girls Sports, Red Pepper, Science club. Press club, a.id played her weak¬ ness, the French horn in the Band four years. She was also Distinguished, made the Honor Roll, and was a member of the Lowellotte and Lowellian staffs. Echie usually greets you with a cheery High Ya, and then persists in teasing you (hobby). Her knowledge of how to solve geometry problems may some day solve her problem of becoming president of the L. 0. P. H« Club. MARY ANGELA EICH Mary Ann was given many tasks to do, she did them well, and she did them with a smile. For achievements she was rewarded by wearing the Dis- tingueshed pin four years, a member of the Honor Society, •37, ’38, ' 39 and Editor-in-chief of this annual. She also participated all four years in the Band, Lowellette, Glee club. Girls sports, Red pepper club, press club (Secretary 40) and gave us many laughs in the Junior play. If Mary Ann decides to be a stenographer, her favorite subject shorthand will be used often, or on the other hand if she decides to become a commercial teacher, her hobby, cross-word puzzles will come in handy. Her weakness is con- tests which she usually finishes on top, just where we will find her in the world. WILLI All FEDLER w hen I argue I always smile, I figure I get further with this style.” Bill was a member of the Band four years, and being a goo d speaker served on the Debate team. He was also in the Ag and Glee clubs. Whenever Dill is embarrased (weakness) by the results of his Government test (pet peeve) he skates (hobby) away from it all, but that doesn’t please all (ambition). BONNIE FELDER To see her study and recite. Would give the ’flunkers’ fifty frights.” Bonnie was Distinguished four years, and also a member of the Band and Glee club. She was given the Womens Club Award in ’38, and was a member of the Honor Society ' 37, ’38 ' 39. Interested in all publications Bonnie was Editor-in- chief the first semester of the Lowellette. She was on the Dowellian staff and was a member of the Press club, which she represented in the Student Council ’40. She was also a member of the Science club. Happiest is she with a book of poetry, or is expostula ting on her favorite subject of people who are also her weakness. Woodpeckers are her pet peeve. Well at least she won’t have to worry about them pecking on her head. VIVIAN FORD Easy on the eyes.” Vivian attended Earl Park High for two years coming to Lowell in ’39, where we soon learned she would rather be called Bibs,” her favorite subject is Shorthand, and her weakness is cherry cokes. Someday she hopes to be a beauti¬ cian which should give her an opportunity to collect those pennies (hobby) from heaven by work. RALPH GIFFORD Ralph started his High School career at Rensselaer coming to Lowell in 1939, where he became interested in football that year. V. ft i.JW e t£j.c 7 tL o-—- 7% “..

' ] ' J IT J L -P J L L sX - LLLJ 1 ' n -5 Our curriculum didn ' t give Dave the opportunity to fulfil his ambition of learning to sp eak Spanish, but we could substitute Sociology, which soon became his favorite subject. He says his pet peeve is some people, but we are sure that doesn ' t include Phyliss, who is his weakness. MAURICE GORD He was born to lead the class of 1940, at least so it seems as Sammy was our Vice President in ' 37, and president in ' 39, ' 40. He also reoeived such honors as Distinguished ' 37, ' 38; Honorable Mention 39; Women ' s Club Award as a Sophomore. He was also a member of the Sunshine club ' 38; football team ' 38, ' 39, 40, and the Lowellette staff. If you ever have any pictures to be developed we re¬ commend Maurice for the job, as this is his hobby, and his price is reasonable. At times the teachers have trouble with our President snoozing in class (weakness), I guess they don ' t realize his ambition is to get enough sleep. VERN HA BERLIN He digs up enough fun for a person ten times his size.” Vernio just couldn ' t deoide whether ho wanted to be a soldier (weakness) or a playboy, but he decided in favor of the latter for it would afford him time for his hobby of racing and an opportunity to use his pet expression Goin my way?” However we really do believe Vern will make use of his favorite subject and end up in government service, where he will probably be as easy-going as he is now. WILLARD HAEMEKER They worry me not the subjects I carry, For I am content as the Class Secretary. Don ' t let this statement fool you, for Willard is really a good student. Distinguished ' 37, ' 38, 39, and Honorable Mention in 40. He was also a member of the basket ball squad in ' 37. Boob, as he is better known to his friends, picks typ¬ ing as his favorite subject, the only trouble with it is it does not afford him any time for hobby of sleeping. The government certainly won ' t have to worry about the air corps if the Senior boys have their iay, for Willard is another student whose ambition it is to become an aviator. rr-£ 9 . � l”, : T 4 j:r. jp - F- ±rE±= —-0 — k:z . iB FLOYD HALE His broad shoulders were mighty useful in carrying his heavy burden throughout high school, you see Floyd played the Big Bass Horn in the Band. Like many of his fellow students, Floyd wants to be an aviator, in such a case his ability at mathematics (favorite subject) should aid him to figure out how to make a success¬ ful landing, you see, there is an Art (weakness) to it. JEANNE HALL A dream is Jeanne with her light brown hair.” She came to us as a Sophomore with a southern accent from St. Petersburg High School. She was Distinguished in ' 38, ' 39, and made Honorable llention in ' 40. One might de¬ scribe Jeanne as being as delicate as the tiny clarinet she trilled in the band three years, and as sweet as the heroine she portrayed in the Junior Play. In ’38, ' 39, ' 40 she par¬ ticipated in girls sports and in ' 39 ms initiated into the Red Pepper club. You usually see Jeanne with a bow perched on her head from her collected hobby. Perhaps the reason she wants to bo an air hostess is to enable her to fly away from her pet peeve C. P., and wing back to her weakness. Freshmen. Jeanne, did you say, I don ' t get it,” as usual? ANNABELLE HARPER In all this world we seldom find A girl who always speaks her mind.” In 1938 she was Honorable llention, a member of the Glee club, and for four years she played notes in the band as colorful as her saxaphone-golden. Spud, enjoys skating as her hobby. It is then that her favorite subject bookkeeping comes in handy for record¬ ing falls, which arouse her temper (pet peeve) and neces¬ sitates applying her knowledge as a beautician (ambition). LESLIE HECKEL When he argued it was in such a very pleasant way, and this virtue made him a very capable member of the Debate team in ' 40. Sports attracted his interest; football in ' 40 and basketball in ' 37, 38, ' 40. Lowell doesn ' t have a base ball team or Heck might have been given the opportunity te h VHr-f= V 1P[ psr£«hi5c£4:f :?q7 S Ow.. 1 ! display talent in this sport which is his hobby. Someday Leslie hopes to be a millionare by perfecting a new way of making malted milk shakes, which are his weakness. LOUIS HERLITZ He was our basketball hero, but he took the honor mo¬ destly. Whitey, really worked for his team four years, and a look at the scoring shows the results of this effort. He, was also a member of the Lowellette staff in ' 40. Like the rest of us Louis hopes for success, perhaps his athletic ability or his favorite subject mechanical drawing will assist him in fulfilling this ambition. Whitey has as his pet expression What’s up? and he hopes it is an arrow head for his prised collection MARJORIE HILL She comes from Schnieder, and she likes Home Ec. She thinks Oh, Johnny is the season ' s song wreck. She was active in girl ' s sports. Red Pepper club, too. If she becomes a nurse her ambition will have come true Do you know the jolly person who fits tho bill? If you don ' t. I ' ll tell you, it ' s Marjorie Hill. ROBERT HOFFMAN He rested long, and slept long, for verily he was long. This good natured student was member of the basketball team ' 37, football squad ' 38, ' 39, ' 40, and a Student Coun¬ oil member in ' 39. Hunting (hobby) up the answers in bookkeeping (favorite subject) is about tho only work Bud likes to accomplish in his studies (pet peeve). He frequented the office in search of an admit, for his woaknoss was getting to school on time. Bud really can ' t be worried with such ambitions as becoming President, or a millionare, for his only interest at present is getting out of sohool. JACK HORNER Acoounts of Little Jackie Horner ' s spectacular runs for a touchdown were often found on the sport pages of large newspapers, thus dubbing him the one man publicity depart- ij L � , P « f -1— r . . h—1—r’—« l m — fi m -r— — 1 — ■■wr --P4-P-f f j ) 1. tJ JLL -JLf-fizJzl-jt ment of L. H. S- He was also a dependable guard on the bas¬ ketball squad for four years. In ' 39 he was Vice Presiden t of the class, and a contributor to the Lowellette in ’40. Jack ' s hobby is hunting, but not for his pet peeve, women, just for his weakness, food, and a place among the Greats in athletics. BILL HOUSTON Bill has a lot of good ideas, is a good speaker, and someday may be a second H. G. Kaltonborn. This California lad came to Lowell from Hoovor High School in the western state. He immediately became a part of school surrounding as Cheer Leader, a member of the Glee club, and Science club. When Bill gets disgusted with a certain blonde, who is his pet peeve, he turns to music to sooth all wounds. We wonder if he sings to his horse (hobby) whon trying to make her jump a hurdle, or whether he turns to his favorite sub¬ ject Speech for assistance. IRENE KARLSON Apair of twinkling eyes reveal that Irene, although a quiet miss, is full of fun and knowledge. She was named on the Honor Roll in ' 47, ' 33, ' 40, distinguished ' 39, and was a member of the Glee club ' 37, ' 38. Renie, has a very Swede, weakness—cream puffs. Her favorite subject is shorthand, and like her Pet peeve F. B., her ambition is to be a stenographer, and her hobby is dancing. ESTHER KLEMM The walking dictionary of Lowell High School, might well describe Klemy, as grades lower than A rarely appoared on hor report cards. In ' 37, and ' 38 sho was a member of the Lowellette staff, and in ' 40 displayed her artistic ab¬ ility as Art Editor of the Lowellian. ' 39, and ' 40 found her an officer and active worker in the Sunshine club. The Science club had attracted her scientific instinct since her freshman year, to the position of Vice President as a Senior, She also participated in the Latin and Press clubs in ' 40. Esther ' s ambition is to become an artist, no doubt so she can draw pictures of her weakness, banana splits, or of her large collection of Cacti acquired as a hobby.

Chem¬ istry, so I must be Esther ' s Pet Peeve--a pessimist. ADA! I KRETZ To know him is to like him.” Adam was a member of the Lowellette staff. Football and Basketball teams in 37, 38. If all studies were as interesting as typing, as ex¬ citing as baseball (hobby) or as tempting as his weakness, ice cream, he wouldn ' t list them as his pet peeve. But since they aren ' t, Adam has decided he won’t study to be anything but a playboy. Mind if we use your pet expression Oh yeah, we think you will really make something of your¬ self. LUELLA JU1IE KITUMM Lue was always extremely busy, having fun finding plea¬ sure in the simplest of things. In ' 37, she participated in girls ' sports, gained Honorable Mention in ' 38, and she was a member of Home Ec. ' 40. Oh Gee (pet expression) Luolla ' s ambition is to be¬ come a housewife, and I fear her husband will have to bo very careful of what ho says, for sho will probably bo tak¬ ing his speeches in Shorthand, her favorite subject. Luolla will probably bo peevod at theso remarks, for she dislikes being teasod. JAJES KUIITZ Whon I sloop (hobby) I travel (ambition) to places hithor and yon. To a historical (favorite subject) castlo where resides my woaknoss a blonde. Sho asks me if I can dance in a ball, I roply no, but in ' 30, I playod baslcotball. B VIOLET MC KAMI Her blonde hair and blue eyes gave the Senior class that added touch, as well as her athletic ability that added pep. For four years she participated in girls ' sports, and was a member of the Red Pepper club. She also exercised her vocal cords in the Glee club ' 37, and Junior Play. Vi ' s ambition is to become a nurse which won ' t afford her much time for her hobby of dancing, or seeing very much of her weakness. Crown Point boys WARREN METZ With his smile and his knowledge of government. This twin should some day be President. In the fall of 39 our class was enlarged by the pre¬ sence of a pair of twins, and with their likeable ways it wasn ' t long before they became a part of school fun and act¬ ivities. Warren ' s including: Basketball ' 39, Junior Play Stage Manager, Lowellette staff ' 40, and football ' 40. Metzy says his pet peeve is Moscato. ADVICE to Jim Perhaps you should dye your hair blond, and then be his weakness. WAYNE METZ He likes pretty girls, and he likes shiny Fords. It ' s plain to see he ' s never bored. Although Metzy portrayed a villain in the Junior play we know him as a regular feller , and for this reason he should have little trouble in fulfilling his ambition of success. He was a member of the Lowelletto staff. PHYLIS MEYER Phil had four years to exert her vim, vigor and vit¬ ality in all athletic contests and she done did admirably. She was also a member of the Red Pepper club and Home Ec. club and she also received Honorable Mention. Someday she hopes to make a lot of money, or at hast help her weakness Wibby accomplish the task. Phylis says, It ' s not funny, when she has to type on an Underwood (pet peeve) so she dances (hobby) out of the typing room and works happily on her favorite subject. Shorthand.° JAMES MOSCATO Watch out Gene Krupa, for our Band President is going to give you plenty of competition on those drums. Besides being a member of the Band, Jim was a class offices in ' 38, a member of the Lowellette staff ' 40, Debtfco 40, and portrayed Huckleberry Finn in the Junior play. Jim gets rather disgusted when John Ragon (pet peeve) fails to keep up with him in his favorite subject band; how- ever, he doesn’t mind when Bonnie is Sharp, for she is his weakness. JUNIOR NICHOLS He has a blush for every grin. You see his weakness is women. Nick was a member of the Ag club four years, and corn judging team in 37 and 38. Work is Junior’s pot poeve, but ho doesn ' t try to avoid it in his favorite subject Physics, or in his hobby as a me¬ chanic. CHARLES OSBURN With his blush-—-according to tradition. This boy is always in—the pink of condition. Agriculture, Ozzie ' s favorite subject, made him eli¬ gible to be a member of the Ag club in ' 38, ’39, ’40 while walking at the County Fair (Weakness) kept him in condition for the track team ' 39. He likes to spend his oxtra time tinkering with automobiles, which is very good practice for his future ambition of becoming a mechanic. By the way, Charles, when you get real apt at fixing cords, you might see what you can do with Phillips laugh (pet peeve). ROBERT L. PARKS For gossips I was the subject of their topics. Because of my interest in Home Economics. Bob was a member of the track teem ' 39, and active in the Band and Ag. club four years. There is a reason why Bob ' s favorite subject is Home Economics, you see ho is preparing for his life as a Bache¬ lor, but I fear he will never realize this ambition if he continues his hobby of winking at blondes (weakness). MILES PARMELY Why I like Physics is perfectly clear. You see I want to be an engineer. Although athletics require no scientific knowledge, Mike enjoyed playing basketball 37, and football ' 37, and ' 39. Miles, you said, your pet peeve was Gifford, but which one? It couldn ' t bo your model (hobby) girl friond, Nona. But even greater in real life. Throughout her four years in high sohool, Babe has been active in many extra-curricular activities. Her honors includes the D.A.R. Leadership Award, Oratorical Contest (1st), being Distinguished and on the Student Council. Other outstanding activities are Lowellette, Lowellian, Class Sec ' y. ' 39, Girls sports. Junior Play, Band (Sec ' y.), Glee club. Debate, Press club. Science blue, and Latin club. Perhaps Speech which is her favorite subject, was responsi¬ ble for her ambition to become a Senator and marry a Presi¬ dent Mirian ' s friendly personality is shown by her pet peeve, snobs. DORSEY RULEY Ho likes to smile, and his hair is red. I could tell more, but onough is said. Dorsey added much color to such activities ad Band 37, 38; Student Council 38; Sunshine club 37; Science club •37, 1 38. Red, chose algebrs as his favorite subject, even if Miss Landgrebe, wasn ' t the teacher. Wo know no witches (weakness) live in Hebron, or this town wouldn ' t be his hobby. Red has an ambition to marry. (Note: this is no advertisement). HELEN RIGGS Helen ' s interest is children, and aren ' t we all. She gained Honorable Mention four years, was active in girl ' s sports ' ' 37, 38, 39; she was a member of the Lowell ette staff. Scienc e club ' 37; Red Pepper club ' 38, ' 39, Pres club ' 39, ' 40, and Hone Ec. club ' 40. Riggsy, likes to read as a hobby, and her favorite sub¬ ject is Speech. Both items should be very handy in fullfill ing her ambition of being a kindergarten teacher; it is a wiso profession for a person whose pet peove is losing an argument. MARIE ROBERTSON She won a host of friends in a quiet, pleasant way. Marie was a member of the Band four years, and did much in assisting Miss Miller with the office work. The latter bringing about her pet peeve of having the papers go in the ditto machine crooked. In her spare time ’Rie, enjoys collecting salt and pepper shakers, or practising her favorite subject, typing. Like many other students her weakness is government, and her ambition is to become a secretary. HELEN RUSSELL This student spent much of her time listening patient¬ ly to the jokes of another Schneider girl, and if you don ' t think this is an accomplishment, you just don ' t know Marga¬ ret ' s jokes. A comic strip was the source of Helen ' s nickname Effie Mae. Her ambition is to become a manicurist, and if she proves a success her favorite subject. Bookkeeping, will com in very handy. Halloween nights are her weakness, which leads us to believe that Helen likes to do her devilment in disguise, and who doesn’t? MARY JANE SAUER Fair to look at, but fairer to know. Perhaps Mary Jane acquired her poised manner by attend¬ ing St. Francis High School in ' 37, at least this charac¬ teristic is part of her beauty. In the three years at Low¬ ell High she was named on the Honor Roll, and in 1940 was a, member of the Home Ec club. Since her ambition is to became a private secretary, it is only natural her favorite subject would be Shorthand. Janey exclaims, Oh for heavens sake, I don ' t want to go to bed early, that’s my pet peeve. I would rather go dancing which is my hobby with my weakness and best friend, Marion. VIOLA SCHOCK Just like the character she portrayed in the Junior play, Viola likes to giggle and have a lot of fun, but al ways in a dignified way. In ' 37, ' 38, ' 39, ' 40, she partici¬ pated in girls ' sports, and was a member of the Red Pepper club. Viola would much rather be in government class (favor¬ ite subject) than in home room (pet peeve), or at least sip¬ ping a marshmallow malted milk at Doc ' s (weakness). Like many members of her class she wants to be a stenographer. We hope that sh e can apply her hobby and find it pleasant swimming in this field. M LESTER SCHRIEBER Deep run3 the brook where still water flows. To be able to look a girl (weakness) straight in the eye without blushing (pot peeve) is Clark s ambition for the future. As an engineer ho nay be able to solve this problem. He represented the Ag Club in Student Council in 1940. MARION SCHREIBER a pleasant smile of greeting to all who She flashed passed by. So similar are the likes and dislikes of Marion and her weaknoss Mary Jane, that we might have combined a des¬ criptive paragraph for both, the only difference being that Marion ' s ambition is to become a beautioian, and her pet peeve is getting up in the morning--—-perhaps Morrie should get her hcsne earlier. She was a member of the Glee club in ' 37 and Home Ec. club 40. GEORGENE SCHUTZ Her interest was in her school first, last, and al¬ ways. During her High School career she gained Honorable Men¬ tion, was a member of the Band, Lowellette staff (editor- in-chief, second semester 1940) Lowellian staff. Red Pepper club, and active in girl ' s sports as well as participating in the Press, Latin, and Gleo clubs. Schutzie ' s hobby is dancing and watching her football heroes (weakness) in action. Lonely nights arc hor pet peeve, but we doubt if she has them often. Georgene, has a High Jimp for the future, you see she wants to bo a Phys¬ ical Education teacher. OLIVE SEARLE An outstanding student within whose little body lodges a mighty mind, which ranked her Distinguished four years. In ' 38, ' 39, 40, she contributed to the Lowellian, was a member of the Press, and Science clubs. In her Senior year she was active in the Student Council, and the Latin club. Now take a deep breath, and got out your dictionaries. Hor hobby is Psychology, hor ambition is to became a eulog- MARION SURPRISE ’’I’d rathor liston than talk. For throe years Marion participated in the at Hobart High School; and as a Senior won the L dont body with her quiet ways. Hitzie sounds liko a very romantic porson, as her hobby is playing her Hawaiian guitar, and hor woaknoss is activities K. S. stu- ist, and hor weakness-epicureanism. Believe it or not, with a knowledge of those hour long words, hor nickname is Minute. ROBERT SIROIS One with a family name has a lot to live up to. The Sirois family has for some years been known in Low- oil High for thoir oxcollont grados, leadership, and parti¬ cipation in athletics. Bob upheld all family tradition, for he was a Distinguished student. Class President ’37, 38, and a regular on the football and basketball teams. He re¬ ceived the Woman’s Club Award ' 37, was a member of the Honor Society ' 37, a character in the Junior play, on the Lowel- lette and Lowellian staffs in ' 40. Although good at any kind of mathematics (favorite sub¬ ject), Bob just can ' t figure out women (pet peeve), so he is going to take up aviation and fly away to the idle land where he can hunt (hobby) and eat (weakness) to his heart ' s content. PHYLISS JANE SPINDLER You can ' t help but like this dimpled Hiss. As a result of her efforts and ability, ?• J. was re¬ warded with such honors as: Distinguished student, four years; Woman ' s Club Award, ' 37, and D. A. R. History award, 39. She belonged to Science club 37, Sunshine 38, Latin, ' 40, Home Ec. 40, and Fress club, 40. She was Student Coun sil member for three years, participated in girls sports in � 38, 39; acted as Candy Sales Manager in 39, and in ' 39 was a member of the Lowellian staff and Librarian. From her favorito subject dramatics, arose her ambition to become a Broadway diroctor, however, this would leave her little tirao for hor hobby, day dreaming, but would give her the chance to use hor pot expression, Hoy liston. r‘ff vi 0 p 0 - P -r-f— 7 t — N — e f-V-T- -el- j— a v r-V- « -C-C- poetry. She dislikes homework, and her ambition is to at¬ tend the Moody Bible Institute. ADELLA TAYLOR Shorty is a quiet girl with an empetuous giggle. In ‘37, ' 38, 39 she was listed as Honorable Mention. When she fills her hoped for secretarial position, her favorite subject, bookkeeping, should be of much assistance to her. Her weakness is chocolate mint sundaes, aw nuts is her pet expression. Adella enjoys collecting souvenirs and finding fault with the Republicans. LUCILLE TILTON When Lucy is around, there is fun to be had by all. „ h ® Band . was helped a great deal by her willing and faithful service four years, and the clarinet section will look very strange without her. In ' 38, 39, and ' 40, she was a member of the Lowellette, Lowellian staffs, and Press club. She was Distinguished in ' S8, 39, and made the Honor .toll in ' 37, ' 40; she was a member of the Debate Team in 1940. Her knowledge of her favorite subject speech, enabled her to win second place in the Speech contest ' 39. If she travels to Africa, which is her ambition, Lucy may catch sleeping sickness, which would satisfy her hobby of snoozing. Lucille says, Shoot, for all I care, all the lindburger cheese (pet peeve) in the whole world could be poured into the Grand Canyon (her weakness). All we can say is Phew. CLARK TURNER When it comes to Physics I ' m perfectly content. But I ' d rather make model airplanes than study Govern¬ ment. My weakness is airplanes. I ' ll get me a Fokker and someday I ' ll be a second Rickenbocker. RUTH TYLER In arguement none could refute her. Ruthie, is one of those steady, dependable workers who after deciding to do something to stick with it, as may be seen in her participation in girls sports. Red Pepper Club, Band, Glee club.

Her pet peeve is seeing neglected child¬ ren, and this is the reason she someday hopes to own an orphanage. ROBERT VANCO With a twinkle in his eye, and a smile on his face. He plays his clarinot from place to place. Bob, was a dependable member of tho Band four yoars, membor of tho Science club 37, and made honorable mention 39. As for practicing in the Band that’s fun for Bob, be¬ cause this favorite subject might enable him to play in a good orchestra, which is his ambition. Bob thinks he could take dictation faster if it weren t for the girls talking in shorthand class (pet peeve). So sorry Sir, perhaps they will buy you some ice cream (weakness) to cool your angered soul. HELEN VANDRE Squirt, as her nickname implies is small, but in her is packed an abundance of sweetness, fun and knowledge. Re¬ port cards proved Helen to be a Distinguished student four years, as well as a member of the Band for this period. She was also a member of the Glee club 37, 39; Sunshine club 38; Lowellian ' 40, Press club; and active in girls’ sports 37 a. ' d 38. To fly or Ft. Wayne (weakness) with the greatest of ease is Helen ' s ambition for the future. Strange as it seem her hobby is Ft. Wayne, and you would never guess it, but bor favorite subject is Ft. Wayne. MARGARET VICORY There is always a twinkle in her eye, and a joke on the tip of her tongue. Margaret, belonged to the Glee club 37, 38, Science club 40, and gained Honorable Mention 39. When Vicky, becomes a nurse she will food all her patients on her weakness ice croam; however, she absolutely refuses to let thorn oat onions, which are her pot peovo. j h f.U-r- 1 i r r i jt;i iy.y :: ... y ::xrx: y:, -±rr jJT] ixjdFEESB P: f ULhJ 1 ■ o. «l—a—P- ■ 3 She enjoys spending her timo at motion pictures or practising her favorito subject typing. When she roads this Margaret will probably c:cclaim, Oh gosh. HELDA VINHEDGE The quiet mind is richer than a crown. Nell, came ' to us from Horace Mann in ’37. Nuts, says Helda to government, I’d rather study my shorthand which I can use in fulfilling my ambition of be¬ coming a secretary. About the only time Hell, gets mad is when her hair is curled too tight, you see that ' s her pet poove. DORIS WASON None knew her but to love her. None named her but to praise. This may rightly be said of Dottie, because of her leadership and participation in such activities as Band, Girls Sports, Red Pepper club. Science club, Lowellette, LoweIlian staffs. Press club, (President ’40), and Latin club. She received such honors as Distinguished, four years Honor Society, ’39; D. A. R. History award, and Junior Play Business Manager. The last we heard Doris ' s ambition was to go to Michigan State, buv I believe it’s safe to say she has changed her mind by now; however, she is sure that her fa¬ vorite subject is English, that her weakness is lemon cokes, and that her pet peeve is cats. DOROTHY WORLEY All the many sounds of nature, borrowed sweetness from her singing. This statement tells us that Ginger is the musical mem¬ ber of our class. She belonged to the Glee club, and in her Senior year, justly was given the honor of the Presidency. She made the honor roll and belonged to the Science club four years, serving as an officer in ’38, ’40. For three years she blew her trumpet in the bend. She was also a mem¬ ber of the Student Council in ' 38, Sunrho.no club ’37, Lowellette staff ’40, Lowellian staff ' 40, and Press club 40. When Mr. Shutts starts dictating in her favorite sub- jhjf - ---J---- rrr m - r 2 r r m r m ' ; r fry ? b t r r 1 r .

With music to soothe her patients, Ginger, should make a very good nurse, applying both her hobby and ambition. Her weakness is fried chioken, but for some unknown ??????? reason she dislikes that other barn¬ yard animal, the horse. EVANGELINE ZAK When there was fun, Vanny was always around to en¬ joy it. To see this class of girls in an athletic contest with¬ out the assistance of Evangeline, would seem strange to say the least. From her Freshman year she whole-heartedly par¬ ticipated in girls sports, and has been an active member of the Red Pepper club. For this same period of time she was named on the honor roll and was a member of the Lowellette staff, 37, ' 38; Lowellian staff ' 39, ' 40; and was a member of the Press club and Student Librarian � 38, ' 40. Christopher (pet expression) how Vanny does dose her temper (weakness) when she meets two faced people (pet peeve). We know when Evangeline achieves her ambition of becoming a private secretary, her favorite subject, book¬ keeping will cone in handy, but we doubt that she will have much use for her hobby of dancing. BETTY DOOLITTLE Betty came to us from Hobart High, the latter part of the year. And now that we know her, we wish she had spent all of her four years here. Gee, quoth Betty, or the French (favorite subject) word for that pet expression, when she sees a tall, dark, curly haired boy (weakness) pass by; especially if he is a good dancer (hobby). As many Senior girls Doo-little Betty wants to become a nurse.

During that first year wo were ably directed by Miss Scritchfield and Mr. Wernz. For our class officers we ehoso Robert Sirois, Adam Dorsch, and Maurice Gord, president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Al¬ though we were not an outstanding class during our first year, we were well represented in the field of sports and among tho various clubs in school. Miriam Ruge and Hayden Patz were elected to be our Student Council members and our Sunshine Club representatives were Dorothy Worley and Dorsey Ruley. The first and second prize winners of the annual Woman ' s Club Oral English contest were Phyllis Spindler and Robert Sirois. High in the Honor Society were Mary Angela Eich, Robert Sirois, and Bonnie Felder. In spring we enjoy¬ ed a picnic at Castlobrook Golf Course. When wo roturnod to school as sophomores, with Miss McKonzio and Mr. Ham as our advisors, wo elected Robert Sirois, president; James Mosoato, vice-president; Willard Haemker, secretary-treasurer. This year our Student Council members wore Phyllis Spindler and Dorsey Ruley. Our Sun- shino Club mombors wore Helen Vandre and Maurice Gord. To Maurice Gord and Bonnie Felder were presented the Woman ' s Club award for the year. The most important event of our sophomore year was our choice of royal blue and white as our class colors. Members of the class then purchased sweaters in these colors. At the close of the year Honor Awards were presented to Mary Angela Eich, Bonnie Folder, and Lillian Wehlo. Our class picnic was hold at tho Lake County Fair Grounds. In tho fall of 1938 we entered tho second half of our high school career with Miss Landgrebe and Mr. Floyd as our class advisors. Maurico Gord, Jack Horner, and Miriam Ruge were elected class officers, and Phyllis Spindler and Robert Hoffhan wore sent to the Student Council. Our Sun¬ shine Club members were Esther Klemn and Hayden Patz. This year our members won more than their share of honors. In a national oratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion, Miriam Ruge and Lucillo Tilton won out at the sohool contest. In a contest among juniors and seniors for essays on national defense, Charles Black was awarded first prize by the Legion Auxiliary. Phyllis Spindler and Doris Wason were awarded as the best U. S. History students by the D- A. R. Honor Society members were Mary Angela Eich, Bonnie Felder, and Doris Wason. Many outstanding events high-light¬ ed our junior year. We selected and ordered our class rings and presented tho school with an oloctric clock and boll sy¬ stem by which to remember us. Our crowning achievements were the presentation of our first class play, Huckleberry Finn , which was a hilarious success, and the banquet which we gave at the end of the year in honor of our senior friends. To celebrate, wo held a picnic at the Dunes State Park. Eighty of our original 99 returned last fall for this last, our best year. Miss Pendleton and Coach Wernz are our sponsors this year and our officers are: president, Maurice Gord; vice-president, Doris Wason; secretary-treasurer, Wil¬ lard Haomkcr. Our Student Council representatives arc Phyllis Spindlor and Lester Schriobor, and our Sunshine Club members, Esthor Klomm and Haydon Patz. During the four years wo havo passed in Lowoll High our class has boon woll represented in all the school clubs and activities. Our more important boy athletes have been Jack Horner, Robert Sirois, Louis Herlitz, Hayden Patz, Warren Metz, and Robert Hofftnan. In football. Jack Horner twice made honorable mention and once second team in All-State selections. This year he was chosen for the first team of tho Little Five Conference. In baskotball. Jack Horner and Louis Herlitz were two of the ten players awarded with small gold basket¬ balls at the Little Five All-conference Invitation Tourney this year. We have been rather busy this year performing our various senior activities, such as receiving our rings, posing for pictures, choosing caps and gowns, dedicating the annual, and selecting commencement invitations. Now we are looking forward to the prom to be given in our honor and to our graduation exercises. As wo draw near the end of our high school days, we find ourselves half-glad, half-sad. Glad to be finally go¬ ing forth into the adult world, but sad to be leaving behind four of the happiest, most important years of our lives. SENIOR DICTIONARY J. J. J. Jim Jam Jump After defeating the Bulldogs in football by a lOO to 1 score we RUSSELLe d some Lowell jitterbugs and started off with a BANG for a VICORY dance in some nearby BERG. Of course., before we could go we had to get our NICHOLS together and buy five gallons of PHILLIPS 6 for our jalopy. The old GORD sure was weighted down. The gang seemed to be in a jolly mood and sang, Don ' t WORLEY about me, all the way down the nine mile stretch. Some scatterbrain leaned out the window and yelled to a passing car, Give her the HORN-ER we ' ll now you under. VAN-DRE arrived at the shin-dig., we rushed through the DORSCH and were confronted by some jitterbugs trucking down the HALL and jiving to Who dor rackey ZAKy. There being a lot of good looking boys around we girls borrowed some COMBS to fix our hair because we had to DAHL up a bit. It must be some of our boys have outside interests also as VAN- COmbed his hair and RIGGe d up a bit, too. I guess we must have taken quite a while because the locals began to PATZ up and down the floor. After swinging and swaying to Tiny HILL ' S music for several hours the crowd got rather un RULEY so we left the KRUMMey affair. CARLSON and ROBERTSON were already in the jug and they had to stay there the rest of the night beKUHTZ we didn’t have any money to BAILEYm. out. We had METZ some Crown Point boys on the way into the dance and METZ some on the way out and they all looked rather down-hearted. They asked us how they could get over their blues and we replied, DEA-TRICK is simple, you DINWIDDIEs. You just go out COR- TEN. So after having done our good deed for the day, we jumped BLACK into our FORD and GIFFORD the gas. PARhEDan the HILL for a while, HERLITZ touched my hand and I FELDER pulse. It was divine. Confuscious say, He who KREiZ (ca¬ ress) angel will have HARPER on hands and far as DOOoITTLE— girls, she will TYLER of him, so he TAYLOR home. F.veryone was in high spirits and swumg out with HALE, HALE, the gangs here all the way home. However, the guy in the car was, it aPIERCEj in no mood for a HECKEL and no matter how much gas we FEDLERj he WASON on our necks before we knew it. We try to TURNER around and beat it the other wayj but the guy blocks the road, so we SCHUTZ off the motor and KLEMM out. He comes over to us as SAUER as a lemon, but before he can say a word, the gink that made the crack pipes PARMELYj but aren ' t you a Kentucky COR¬ NELL! He acted like he ' d had some of that VINNEDGE of ' 20 that makes you TILTON your feet. This cinches the case a— gainst the smart guy who is lifted by the coat collar and asked if he would rather hitch -EICH back home or be swatted like a MOSCATO. At this, OSBURNed up and extremely S n HOCHe d for I have never heard such language. I heard someone hol¬ ler, Don ' t have a yellow streak, BIXENMAN. Such being the case, I landed a HAEMKER right on the bully ' s CORNS. That RUG-E sure let out with the lungs. Now don ' t go up in a HOFF-MAN j he was told by the onlookers. MEYER never heard such noise. But before he could recover from his SUR¬ PRISE, PHEBUS well on our way, just like the hero in a cowboy SEARLE. Since we were practical lads and maidens, we knew there was no good in BOLIN over spilled milk and were soon rjfe Vi ! « f - J i.r_r ;■[ d_ 4 .jj c j 4 .s ,� t j f.r f i SENIOR PRESENT In keeping with the tradition established by former classes who hsve been graduated from Lowell High, the Senior Class of 1940 presented the high school with a gift late in the fall of 1939. After much deliberation on the many sugges¬ tions for gifts, the class decided that an appro¬ priate gift would be an electric clock system. The clock is conveniently located in the office. One of its outstanding features is that it has four separate bell systems. This automati¬ cally rings a warning bell ten minutes early for gym classes and shop so that members of those classes will have time to put away their equipment. Regulation makes it possible for the bell to ring at one-minute intervals. The clock system was made by the Telechron Company. in the future the classes of L. H. 3. will be able to enlarge this system by supplying all the rooms with a clock. With this added equipment the seniors trust that subsequent classes will benefit from their choice of a aift. -—LI ' ' ' “T- -_L ' _r— .- ! 7 - T V T‘ - - • k-- •p- U i ’ a ; m P m i.i r MV V r r r. a r“ 1 r r F . to , w: r r r t r t ■ J. w - 1 - ' r; -v - SENIOR PROPHECY I stopped the car in front of the huge building. Queerly enough it appeared to be a planetarium—why should the man who had invented a better mouse-trap be in such a place? I went up the well-beaten path to the door and was amazed to hear, M Go on in, questions answered in the inner lobby. Too dumbfounded to do anything else, I opened the door and saw, at the back of the room, a man looking through a huge tele¬ scope. I approached him with, professor Deatrick, I have come to interview you concerning your mouse-trap. Is it true that your mouse-trap not only entices and kills the mice but gives them a decent burial, as well? That ' s so, son, but I am doing something even greater, now. Would you like to hear about it? Would I? Start right in, I answered with unconceale joy. The Professor continued, I hsve invented a rocket ship that is now on Venus. I am able to watch my exploring party through this highly improved telescope that you see. But, who is in the party and what are they doing up there? . Don ' t let this get out, but I was lucky enough to get practically the whole class of 1940 from Lowell High School to join my expedition. They all realized the possibilities of such an exploit and agreed to go. At the present time they are establishing a settlement. You can ' t mean the Lowell, Indiana class of ' 40. Why I was a junior when they graduated. Ah, but I can. Maybe you would like me to tell you what some of them are doing. I certainly would) Could you start with Miriam Ruge? Well, yes, it ' s rather complicated but I will try to explain. After much reaserch my honorable adversary in the scientific world, Warren Metz, has invented a new-type fire alarm. Upon discovering a fire, a button is pressed which automatically plays a record at the fire-station, Fireman, Save My Child! This is where Miss Ruge comes in—she had a copyright on the phrase and Mr. Metz was forced to give her a contract which states she is to make all of the records at a salary of $300 per week. From latest reports, they are both getting rich. Miss Ruge also gives the 3 ermon on m ■ m -! ■ | ■ | • —.— ,rjr±jr. w-v- - F- r 1 i-jks - L- . 3 1- l | ■|- I J—«U_J i-T Sundays, when our regular minister. Reverend Patz, is ill. I started in amazement, “I beg your pardon, who did you say was your minister? ' Why, surely you remember Hayden patz—he was reformed by Helen Riggs way back in 45. He ' s still a bachelor, but all the spinsters in his parish are secretly in love with him. This is going to take too long. I ' ll just name them as I see them in the telescope. Robert Vanco is the modern Saint Peter of Venus. He stands at the gate with his clari¬ net to see that no one from the class of 41 gets in to spoil his business of playing for the dances on Saturday nights. See that man talking to him? That ' s the mayor. Bill Houston Remember him? He was the governor of California but he talked out of turn; they had to impeach him. We call him the great Organizer. Helen Vandre is his secretary; it ' s rumored about that she has to feed his horses too. Speaking of horses, see that cart over on the left side of the road? The driver is Verne Haberlin—we haven ' t been able to take many cars up as yet, so he runs a pony service. Vella Combs is an ardent member of our Woman ' s Club. At the time being she is conducting a campaign to introduce football to the youth of the schools. It seems she likes football coaches. Bonnie Felder and Georgene Schutz are co-editors of the paper The Venus Blah. Georgene does most of the writing and lets Bonnie print them. Bonnie doesn ' t like it, but Georgene is the larger so she keeps quiet. Jack Horner is a great success as their circulation manager. He always did get around. Florence Bixenman and Marian Schreiber run a beauty salon. Marian specializes in muscular therapy and pedicures while Florence takes care of fingernails, hair, and eye¬ lashes which grow abnormally long on Venus. Wayne Metz is a politician to end politics. His plat¬ form is: (1) All politicians are crooks. (2) Do it your¬ self, or take the rap. (3) Safety education in driving for the younger generation. Helen Russel is the manager of a large department store which is known all over Venus for the excellence of its escalator service. This service operates on the principle of th e famous magic rug of Aladdin ' s conjuring. Many people have become lost in their imagination for days. Viola Schoch C e ' TV ' 1 t 1 v J T ' r+- 1 ' W f ft— j -i — and Adel la Taylor are models in the sport department which is famous for its artificial ski course. Their sales talk is ' Every pair of ski pants, a skiing lesson or vice versa. Dorothy Worley is the treasurer of the company. Creden¬ tials, then credit, is her motto. Before Venus she did a song and dance act on Broadway. Many people have found it difficult to mix swing and opera but Miss Worley was a veri¬ table quick-change artist. Ralph Gifford, Robert Hoffman, Miles Parmely, and their sons-in-law comprise the board of directors of the ' doorknob and Doorbell Construction Company. ' Don ' t let this get around, but the actual business is carried on by an office boy they imported from Palestine. They are all so hen¬ pecked that when on earth they had trouble running their automobi les. At the foot of the hill was a sign painted on the win¬ dow which announced the ' Kuntz Drug Store ' , better known as •Kuntz ' Kleptomaniac Klinic, there isn ' t anything to take. James Kuntz owns 51 of the stock, the remainder is held by the high school students; they pay the bills and he reaps the profit. His wife, the former Evelyn Echterling, is known to patrons as Goldy-Locks, the soda-jerker. John Bailey and Robert Berg occupy the back rooms. They are the owners and proprietors of the B-B Flea Training Establishment. ' Satisfaction guaranteed or flea back ' , is their world-renowned slogan. Robert parks is the traveling demonstrator of Dusty Crusty Pie Crust Flour. It is rumored that some of his pastries are used in the discus throwing contest. Mr. Parks also designs dresses as a side line. Marie Robertson is our post-mistress. No one has ever caught her reading the mail, but I doubt if she is psychic. Adam Kretz is the postman; I have received several com¬ plaints recently saying that he talks too much on the route. He is in love with Miss Robertson and tells everyone but her. The professor next trained his telescope on the east side of the settlement where situated on a hill, surrounded by tall pine trees stood a huge red building with a neon sign which flashed the following} ' McManns ' Reformatory for Bad Boys ' , (Crown point boys preferred.) The professor in¬ formed me that Miss McMann was doing excellent work by get¬ ting bad little boys on the straight and narrow path. “fTk s.il rTI-f 7 IWti jR i - r : nnnj tT ” ” Living next to the reformatory in her spacious mansion we find Adrian Mound—Marjorie Hill ' s pen name. Miss Mound is the first author of Venus to be presented with the Novel Peace Prize. She expressed her ardent plea for peace in several essays, poems and billboard slogans. She is the feminine Sinclair Lewis. Miss Mound donated a thousand dollars for a public lib¬ rary on Venus. Mona Corten and Evangeline Zak are the lib¬ rarians in the ' Venus Public Library . It i s very swanky and c ocktails are served every half hour. These two girls seem to be very popular and find no trouble in keeping the lib¬ rary filled with ardent ' book lovers ' . Miss Corten and Miss Zak, when interviewed by the press, made the following statement: ' We owe all our success to Mr. Shutts as he first taught us the fundamentals of 1ibrarianism ' . The most popular author in the library is Miss Olive Searle. Her book, ' The Art of Flattery ' or ' How to Make People Feel Big ' , is enjoyed because of its evident sir of sincerity. Maurice Gord is the milk man of the settlement. They call him ' Singing Sam, the Numbdr One Milk Man. ' He is also known as the early bird of Venus. To the east of the town I spied a small suburb which to my amazement was called New Shelby. I was informed that Willard Haemker has been unanimously voted mayor of the small suburb. He borrowed Hitler ' s code of laws, and rules over his subjects with an iron hand. His Field Marshal, Adam Dorsch, has mobilized a troop of soldiers and is a-� Waiting his chance to return to the earth and take over the German Empire. It is rumored he is madly in love with a Ger¬ man fraulein, but is too bashful to propose. Phyllis Carlson is known as the number one citizen of New Shelby. She makes a very profitable income from the •Melody Ball Room of which she is the proprietress, hat check girl, master of ceremonies and singing waitress. Featered nightly at the Melody Ball Room are two star acts. Jeanne Hall and her husband are known as the Veloz and Yolanda of New Shelby. They pack the crowds in nightly at the swanky night spot. It ' s a known fact that they gave up their movie contract ju3t to join the expedition to Venus. The second feature of the floor show is the King of the Sil- C f i f o ' i ) rtf F f L ,,J i = I p ! • ' r -1 d • —0 ver Skates, namely Dorsey Ruley. Before coming to the settlement he skated with Sonja Henie for several years. Miss Henie was very grieved when Dorsey told her of the trip he was going to make. Nelda Vinnedge, the prima dona with the canary voice, sang a beautiful contralto solo. This was her last appear¬ ance at the ' Venus Opera Company ' because she had to be back at the ' Met ' to sing ' Aida ' , assisted by William Fedler. William made his debut just one year ago. He toured the U.S. and Canada for six months when finally a talent scout found him. They used to call him ' Singing Bill from ' St. Johnville ' . Of course many of the class of 1940 are happily married and have families. So, of course, where there are kiddies there are schools and where there are schools there are teachers. The ' Venus Public High School ' has a very beauti¬ ful teacher. They call her Miss Model T. Ah—yes—you ' ve guessed it—Miss Vivien Ford. Several of the students have quit school because Miss Model T refused to give them a date. The problem has been taken before the school board as a very serious situation seems to be arising. One of Miss Ford ' s most trying pupils is Phyllis Spindy Brighter. She has a mind of her own and claims that her family have been intelligent for too long and she is going to start a new line of thought(?). Her mother, the former Phyllis Spindler, is very dismayed. She has written several books on child behavior and her own problem child is proving rather embarrassing on her extensive lecture tours. Turning the telescope again, a track came into view. Upon inquiry, the professor told me that it was the dog race track which John Callahan and Norman Dinwiddie had just opened. They are losing money but seem to want ' Speed at any cost ' —a hangover from their high school days. Just east of the race track a huge airport came into view. i was informed that Frank Corns, Clark Turner, and Floyd Hale were the chief aviators. David Phillips origin¬ ally belonged in this category but he was grounded on a charge of reckless flying. Junior Nichols has been trying to join their ranks for years but he just can ' t seem to get the plane off the ground. The money end of the airport is taken care of by John Dinwiddie, who turned financier when he won the Irish Sweepstakes in 1945. {Ezzftr -o- J- tJz -£-$-£ 3=jlfj At the present time Emerson Phebus is suing the air port on the charge that the flyers,, by habitual scares, have turned his herd of Black Angus cattle into platinum blondes. Lucille Tilton, the secretary of the district Attorney, is pleading his case, while the district attorney himself, Leslie Heckel, is the defendant ' s lawyer. They believe in keeping the business in the office. Robert Cornell is a doctor of old sousaphones and other ailing band instruments. When he turned professional after graduating from high school, he found the repair bill was too great so he decided to ' repair his own . One of his best customers is Marian Surprise who is forever breaking her tuning pipe. She has a small class of bible students and uses it in her own arrangement of ' Onward Christian Soldiers ' for their voice choir. Again shifting the telescope I stopped at an odd look¬ ing house of rainbow brick, Who in the world lives there. Professor Deatrick? Oh, that. Esthera Klemenda lives there. You know, the famous artist. She paints pictures of still life— rulers, pitchers, thermometers, etc.—and is terribly tem¬ peramental. She is so eccentric now, that she eats nothing but crab apples, cauliflower, and goat ' s milk. She has open house once a year and artists come from all over the world to see her pictures. What ever happened to Louis Herlitz, the basketball star? He played professional basketball for awhile with Phyllis Meyer as his manager. After two years in the States Phyllis took him to Africa where he taught the game to the natives. They received a fortune in ivory, and are now vacationing here on Venus. Phyllis has threatened to propose this coming leap year if ' Whitey ' doesn ' t come around. They are staying at Luella Moskoski ' s boarding house. Luella, the former Luella Krumm, has been married five times now, and has been a perfect wife to all five husbands, until she got tired of them. She still supports them with her thriving boarding house. Luella ' s star boarder is Charles Osburn. He is a mechanic at Irene Karl son ' s garage. Irene doesn ' t know a spark plug from the exhaust pipe, but she dikes to wash cars so she established her garage. Charles fixes everything from ;te C f I r r j J. l can openers to matrimonial difficulties and enjoys it all. Did Ruth Tyler and Margaret Vjcory ever become nurses? Ohj yes, Margaret is our public school ruirn. She is famous in the nursing field is che only person who can make children take castor oil and like iT. Ruth gnadualed from nursing school and was an air hostess until she cnr.e here. She is now conducting sight seeing tours through Vena-. Are Donald Pierce and Lester Schreiber on Venus? No, it was impossible for me to persuade them to come. They are producers in Hollywood and refused to leave their work. At the present time they are starting Sylvie Sweet, the former Mary Jane Sauer, on the way to stardom. Everyone is dyeing their hair red and wishina for orow - eyes since her sudden jump to fame. The man co-starred with he ' is Ken Kourageous, the former Bob Sirois rf I.owell H- ' qh fame. He is the modern counterpart of Rudolph Valer inc, th? greet lover. Well, that ' s not a great surprise, but w-.ut happened to Roy Bang, Doris Wason, Jim Moscato, and all the others? I have a record here, he said as he reamed into a cabinet and brought out a huge book, I ' ll just read them offs Doris Wason was sent to Turkey by the government. After leaving high school, where she wrote The Three Tur¬ keys , she had become a mono-maniac on bocks sbout three objects—(she wrote The Three Candlesticks. The Three Jitterbugs, The Three Paint Brushes, ' The Three Crochet Hooks, etc.)—and the government thought it adv oble to give her a large sum of money and send her where she would discontinue her work. Roy Bang is the director of an insane asylum. He him¬ self is very eccentric every night he brings cut his seven big ' Black Brindled Boozy Bears ' and makes them perform for the inmates. Jim Moscato is the barber superb in the ' Low High Shearing Shop ' in Shelby. Mr. Moscato is practically a gen¬ ius at making hair grow and his wind-blown bobs are the talk of the land. His shop is very military—he even has drum recordings playing at all times to aid him in his work. Mary Angela Eich is now living in New York City. At the present time she is editor of a funny book;-writes a daily column, ' Be Fit—Not Fat, ' for the Chicago Setting Sun; is the star reporter of the monthly magazine, ' Your Farm and 0 fair f ■ tT Mine ' ) and conducts the daily program originated by Wslter Winchell. Last year she was awarded the 1 Busy Bee ' title given by the American Federation of Labor. Charles Black is Eddie Duchin ' s successor as the popu¬ lar virtuoso of the piano. When Charles graduated from high school he took a correspondence course in music and made such a success of it that he was asked to play for the pres¬ ident and first lady. Later he organized his own orchestra. Anabelle Harper,, who writes under the name of Bella Lika, is a famous globe trotting reporter. It is said that she has uncovered more spy rings,, averted more international crises, and gained the confidence of more kings than any other one person in journalistic history. At the present time she is in Morocco investigating the Foreign Legion. Mary Avis Dahl was voted one of the ten best dressed women in the United States. She has dressmaking establish¬ ments in Hollywood, Chicago, and New York and designs all of the gowns herself. Schaiparelli is said to be very worried about the effect Miss Dahl ' s sudden popularity has had on his clientele. The doctor advised Betty Doolittle to take a rest cure for at least six months after her arrival on Venus. You see Betty was the pilot of my rocket ship on its journey and the responsibility and strain on her nerves almost resulted in d nervous breakdown. At the present time Betty has been com¬ municating with me via short wave telephone and wanting to try a new gyro-compensator on the ship, so I guess she is well on the way to recovery. That finishes it, said the professor, laying down his book, Is there anything else I could answer for you? Yes, Just one thing. Did the 1950 Club disband after their pre-arranged meeting? Oh, no, it has evolved into the Venus Grouch Club and is a very influential group. Only last winter they sponsored a tiddle-winks tournament and are now working on an all settlement box social, the proceeds to be used for exter¬ minating cockroaches. Thanking the professor and promising not to disclose his secret until he wished me to, I departed. As I ap¬ proached the car I found it hard to realize that it was now 952, not 1940, and there were such things as rocket ships, good ft cigars, and another class graduating from L. H. S. Uif l riTN ■tTl-dJ mirrrTp si SENIOR FAREWELL Our high school education has been a means of bringing us closer to our goals, whatever they may be, and whether or not we realize it. probably, as is usual with people, we have not done as much with our oppor¬ tunity as we could have done. That, how¬ ever, is past now. We have had a lot of fun at Lowell High, but I hope it will not be with tears that we will leave it. One does not weep to leave the stone that helps him to cross a creek. He is, rather, thankful that it was there. So, let us look ahead, and be con¬ cerned with the enormous things that wait for us. And if we must look back at our years at Lowell High, let it be with gladness for the help she has given us in reaching that which we wish to reach.

JUNIOR HISTORY On August }1, 1937� 119 eager freshmen that were des¬ tined to make a name for themselves in the school history, entered Lowell High School. As freshmen the class chose James Van Deursen president, Howard Mourer vice-president and Betty Conley secretary-treasurer. Miss Arnold and Mr. Wernz were the class sponsors. Faye Tyler and Bill Langen ably represented the Freshmen in the Student Council. Har¬ riett Peterson and George Meadows were the Sunshine club members. James VanDeursen, Richard Hiland, Charles Carroll, Harold Lappie, and Howard Mourer represented the boys very well in sports. Betty Wineland, Marjie Wehle, Harriet Rob¬ inson and Dorothy Keithly excelled in girls sports. Harriett Peterson and Herbert Rawlings were awarded 1st and 2nd prizes respectively in the Freshman Literary Contest spon¬ sored by the Lowell Woman ' s club. When school reopened in 1933 the class had 10 3 members who wer e sophomores. In the following order Herbert Raw¬ lings, Carolynn Behmlander and Faye Tyler were chosen presi¬ dent, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. The class directors were Mr. Ham, Miss McKenzie, and Mr. Brent linger. Jane Seals and James Van Deursen were chosen to go to the Student Council; Dorothy Krumm and Bill Langen were the Sun¬ shine club members. Sweaters of the class colors, navy-blue and gold, were purchased by the sophomores. Herbert Raw¬ lings and Mary Callahan won the 1st and 2nd prizes in the Lowell Woman ' s club Oratorical Contest. The athletes in the sophomore class remained the same as in the first year. James Van Deursen gained special credit by being chosen a regular on the varsity team. The class was especially proud of Herbert Rawlings who won the District Latin Contest and represented Lowell and this district in the State Contest. In the third year there were only 99 of the original 119 students who were now classed as juniors. In class elections, Howard Mourer was chosen president, Faye Tyler, vice-president, and Mary Callahan, secretary-treasurer. The Student Council members were Richard Hiland and Faye Tyler and Bill langen and Doreen Marks were the Sunshine club mem¬ bers. The class sponsors were Miss Landgrebe and Mr. Nie¬ mann. On November 10, the junior class with the aid of Miss landgrebe as director, presented This Is The Life 1 ' a three act comedy. C. Behmlander, A. Algers, B. Blaok, H. Peterson, H. Mourer, J. Crompton and R. Kuntz completed the cast. The play was a huge success. The junior class was one of the best represented in school activities and athletics. Marjie Wehle was honored as the outstanding girl athlete. J. Van Deursen, H. Lappie, B. Langen, F. Schafer, R. Hiland, and V. Little became prominent on the football field and a few also in basketball. In many clubs, juniors hold responsible positions and compose a majority of the members. In various clubs the number of juniors ares Science club 8, Band 15, Latin Club 11, Press club 9, Red Pepper club 1J, and Glee club 5 The junior students of special note ares Earl Pace, the only licensed amateur radio operator in school, Jewell Bailey, only bassoon player, Harriett Peterson, only oboe player. Bill Algers, solo trumpeter, Howard Mourer, school ' s only licensed barber, and Jane Seals and Marjie Wehle, the only junior cheer leaders. At the present time the class is looking forward to the Junior Prom which the juniors sponsor for the Seniors. Thus far the junior class has made an enviable record for themselves which they will strive to keep. fiae FRESHMAN HISTORY AV.e o, sh, p va , , .ouA. a vudAer , V.e o� n, auXo out as We, tsV iio, sch,oo , u t ,e ttes au ctass Vearfully and quietly 109 freshmen entered Lowell High School on a sunny day of last September. we admired but did not envy the upperclassmen who walked by calm and self- assured. Our advisors. Miss Baughman and Mr. F.tchison assembled the freshmen for the purpose of electing officers. Tom Combs Russell Olson, and Bob Cullen are president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Alice Keithley and Robert Crisler represent the class in the student council. The freshman class is proud of the eight in Glee Club. They are June Cornel, Patricia Ebert, Kay Getrost, Betty Hudson, Arline Mueller, Lenora Nomanson, Lorraine Stasaitis, and Barbara Thompson. Alfred Carroll, Thomas Combs, William Kingery, Wilbur Schwanke, Robert Hathaway, George Stowell, Earle McGrow, Ar¬ chie Huebsch, Russell Olson, Robert Cullen, James Kurrack, John Childers, Arthur Lehman, Homer Reeves, Lloyd Cunningham Roy Larson, Paul Phebus, Theo Black, are lettermen on the basketball and football squads. Among the freshman girls who participated in sports, thirteen became Red Pepper members. They are Nanette Berg, Virginia Clark, June Cornel, Alice Echterling, Mary Ellen Howkinson, Alice Reithley, Hazel Lappie, Lenora Nomanson, Sally Ploetz, Ruth Robinson, Lorraine Stasaitis, and June Wehle.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY The greatly anticipated day had arrived. September 7 dawned bright and cheerfully as one hundred twenty-three eager freshmen prepared for the highly important football game between the L. H. S. 42’s and the formidable team Stu¬ pidity. Our captain chosen to load during the first quarter was Marvin Fleener, with his capable assistants Irene Horner and June Ebert. Before the start of play, Mr. Seeright and Miss Baughman, our coaches, gave us information concerning the rules and plays which were to aid us in reaching our goal. In the first few plays Millard Clark and Ann Ross, Sunshine club representatives, rendered invaluable service, as did Shirley Hepp and William Kennedy, who voiced the opinions of the team in Student Council. Some prominent scientific plays were worked and carried out by members of the Scientse club, namely, S. Peterson, N. Spindler, N. Roberts, N Griggs, M. Conley, and C. Schock. Out team was represented in Band by twelve members. The Glee club had throe freshmen in its enrollment. Aiding in the scoring were the members of the Ag club. They included R. Poppe, R. Childers, J. Osburn, G. Woodke, W. Kennedy, K. Hayden, and A- Gates. A great number of the members of the team received Honorable Mention for their performances, and many made the Distinguished list. For good sportsmanship throughout the first quarter, John Bardens and Seth McLellan were honored with the first and second Literary Awards, respectively. Because of their participation in various activities M. Hall, S- Peterson, and N. Spindler received keys from the Honor Society. As the gun was fired, ending tho first quarter, the score stood 6-0 in favor of L.H.S� 42’s. In celebration the entire team enjoyed a picnic at Castlebrook Golf Course. After a short intermission, during which the players relaxed and renewed their vigor, play resumed. However, the number of players was decreased to ninety-eight. Changes were made in the line-up for the second quartet; Mr. Brentlinger and Miss McKenzie were now our coaches. To lead us during the second quarter was Seth McLellan, presi- dent, with John Bardens and Jean Little assisting him. Patri cia Petrie and Joe Carroll were selected to represent us in the Student Council. Early in the game the team decided upon kelly green and white as its colors, and cardigan and coat style sweaters were purchased by a great number of tho players- This style is distinctively now in Lowell High School and has won much acclaim. During the first half of play the team was well repre¬ sented in the field of sports. Boys making major letters in football wore D. Randolph, F. Potcrson, L. Novak, K. Hayden, M. Clark, and 3. Brownell. We wore very proud to have F. Peterson, a member of the All Star Little Five Conference Team, in our group. In basketball, Albin Carlson and Hil¬ lard Hall wore on the varsity. The starting second team was composed entirely of sophomores. The girl athletes brought honor to tho team by winning the hit pin tournament and be¬ ing in the finals in other sports. Many members of our team were initiated into tho Red Pepper club. We were well represented in the clubs and social func¬ tions of the school. Curing the second quarter a marked improvement was shown, and at the end of this quarter tho score stood 13-0 in our favor. The team felt they had made favorable ad¬ vances toward their goal and had contributed much toward the development of Lowell High School. f .p ]Ti i. -a. f PRESS CLUB President.Doris Wason Vice-President.Helen Vandre Secretary-Treasurer.Mary Angela Eich Organized in the spring of 1938, the Press Club has ad¬ vanced until it is now one of the foremost organizations in Lowell High School., with a membership of thirty-eight this year. Its purpose is to create interest in Journalism and newspaper work. The sponsor is Mr. Brentlinger, the Journa¬ lism instructor. The main activities of this club are the bi-weekly school paper, the Love llette , in which the members contri¬ bute regularly., and the school yearbook, the LovelLian. As new activities this year the Press Club joined the Quill and Scroll, a National Fraternity for furthering journalistic interest. Juniors and Seniors are eligible to join this national fraternity. Selection is based upon the quality and quantity of literary work submitted during the year. The club received a charter and is now an official branch of this organization. It also started an athletic handbook about all athletics and the participants in them. With mem¬ bership in the Quill and Scroll Society, the club has sub¬ scribed to the Quill and Scroll Magazine, a bi-monthly pub¬ lication for those interested in journalism. As a final and long remembdred step, the club donated an honor blanket to be given to the outstanding Senior boy on Honor Day. Qualifications for this are scholastic abil¬ ity and all outside activities. Only senior boys are eli¬ gible for selection. The club hopes to set a precedent to be followed by Press Clubs of later years. To gain membership in the Press Club, a student must have an A or B average and display some interest in the field of journalism and also in the particular work of the club. Members of all classes are eligible and are welcome to join the club under the above conditions. After much deliberation, and with the consent of Mrs. Rogers, the club has chosen the late Will Rogers, famous humorist and good-will ambassador, for their chapter name. The Press Club with the journalism class visited the Gary Post Tribune offices in April.

Lowe)lette ist Semester Editor 2nd Semester Editor ..Bonnie FeLder Georgenc Schutz The first issue of the L Weekly was published on October 14, 1934, under the direction of Mr. Smith, English and government teacher, and Edwin Van Nada, the editor. The commercial classes under Mr. Ham ' s direction did the mimeo¬ graphing. Under the editorship of Harriet Wasor the second semester, the L Weekly had 17 active staff members. In 1935, Marcia Shurte was elected editor of the L Weekly under the co-sponsorship of Miss Scritchfield and Mr. Ham. The L Weekly was entered in the National Dupli¬ cated Paper Association contest at Danville, Indiana for the first time and rated Superior Merit, the highest rating given. In 1936, the staff had grown to 38 members with Paulette Eich editing it. During this year the paper was changed from the L Weekly to the Lowellette and it was made a bi-weekly paper. The Lovellette was asked to submit a page to the Idea Book which the National Duplicated Paper Asso¬ ciation published. Under the editorship of Ruth Schutz, and the co-sponsor¬ ship of Miss Landgrebe and Mr. Ham in 1937, a six page Lov- el lette was published bi-weekly. Variety in the print was made possible by new typewriters of various styles. The paper was also changed to a six-page paper, with five pages of three columns snd an editorial page of two columns. In 1938, Mr. Brentlinger and Mr. Ham co-sponsored the Louellette with Jean Ragon as editor. Very few changes were made excepting the make-up of the pages. In 1939, Bonnie Felder was chosen editor of the Lovel- lette the first semester and Georgene Schutz was elected editor the second semester. Again the co-sponsors of the Lovellett e were Mr. Brentlinger and Mr. Ham. This paper then was changed to an eight page paper and more cartoons were added to give interest to the pages. For the 5th con¬ secutive year, the Lovellette won A rating in the N. D. P. A. In 1939, a precedent was established in selecting the editor-in-chief of the paper. Instead of appointment by the —1—- u«l— 4-f -4—F— e-T - 1— 1 —H— —j—) ij- — sponsor the editor, hereafter, will be elected by members of the staff. A grade of B is necessary for eligibility for this position and the editor must be a member of the Press Club. Under this new procedure, Seorgene Schutz was elected as first editor. Another innovation tried this year for the first time was the selection of an editor for each semester. It is be¬ lieved that this step will go far to develop interest and encourage participation on the staff of the paper. To Mr. Ham is due a great deal of credit for the fine appearance of our paper and to Mr. Brentlinger for hi3 un¬ tiring efforts in advising our journalists. To encourage more school spirit in all schocl activi¬ ties; to inform the students in an unbiased way and to pre¬ sent student opinion; and to further good sportsmanship is the policy of the Lowellette.

They may well feel proud of their handiwork. Without their help, this book would not be such a great success. This year ' s annual has many more pages than last year ' s and one more picture page. Following a precedent set by other Lowellian staffs, the position of business manager was awarded to the person selling the most subscriptions. This year quite an unusual event occurrec. The winner was Dorothy Worley who sold fif¬ ty-six percent of the subscriptions. The other members o f the business staff were Jeanne Hall, Robert Hoffman, James Moscato, Miriam Ruge, and Georgene Schutz. In order to be on the Lowellian staff, an average of A or B is reauired.

Since that time it has been directed competently by Messrs. Bassett., Madden, Lundgren, and, at present, Mr. Tritt. The membership of the band during that time has increased to the present fifty-eight. Every year the band participates in the first district band contest. First division rating was won at the District Contest in 1938 as a reward for work during the year. The band is justly proud of its award—a bronze plaque. The contest was held this year at LaPorte on April 13. The selections played were: His Honor, warm-up; Achilles— selected; and Overture Hongroise, required. Several of our members participaged in the First Dis¬ trict Solo Contest at Crown Point on March 16. They were M ary Angela Ejch, baritone; Evelyn Echterling, alto horn; Harriett Peterson, piano; and James Moscato and Robert Sur¬ prise, Drums. As a result of winning first division in the District Contest, James Moscato and Robert Surpr’.se partici¬ pated in the state contest at Elkhart or April 6. James played Dead Beat. Robert played Downfall of Parts, and their ensemble selection was Joe and Joe. At the state contest, James Moscato and the ensemble won first division. So Both boys entered the National Contest at Battle Creek, Michigan, on May 16. This year a recording of the required selection was made by Henry Dilley of Gary. This is the first time in the history of the band that such recognition has been made of DISTINGUISHED STUDENTS In order to be a Distinguished student., an average of 3.5 to 4.0 is required. This system was first used here the second semester last year. The first year a student is dis¬ tinguished, he receives a pin; the second year., an L guard; the third year, an H ; and the fourth., an S .

President Esther Klenm . Vice-President Dorothy Worley . Secretary-Treasurer The Science Club of Lowell High School was organized in 1934. At that time the sponsor of the club was the science instructor, Mr. Brannock. A year later, 1935, the club be¬ came a member of the state Junior Academy of Science. It is now under the supervisionof the science teacher, Mr. Nieman. At the beginning of each year, invitations are sent to prospective members who have had two years of science or are taking a science the current year. In this way, the club promotes its chief purpose, the development of the student body ' s interest in science. This year the club boasted of thirty-eight members. As a reward for excellence of work in this field, pins are awarded to the four outstanding members of the club. These members are selected by a vote of the club. At Open House, in the spring, the club has an exhibi¬ tion in the laboratory. This year there were demonstrations on high-frequency electricity, dissection and the use of a stroboscope. These projects have been planned and prepared by the students during the school year. The club is allowed two trips a year to various places of interest. One trip was taken in the fall of 1939, to Ro— senwald Institute in Chicago. The second trip was taken to Chicago on March 15. This time the club was shown the N.B.C. studios in the Merchandise Mart in the morning and the Kraft Phoenix Corporation in the afternoon. It has been the policy of the club in every year of its existence to select speakers to address the members on top¬ ics of interest to the members. Dr. Davis, whose subject was Sulfanilamide in Medicine, was our guest speaker. In order to raise funds the club sold magazine subscrip¬ tions. The money will be used to buy the pins and a clock for the laboratory and class room. These clocks will be synchronized with the master clock in the office and are the Science clubjs gift to the school for this year. In the spring the club held its annual picnic at the Castlebrook Golf Course. •. jTipTTl - -1-!---- L i J i — -■ r i —-r - —i-1-1— —r -1 � i r -� t --- pj— i —t r ■ p- r a—h—p-..- -- -if - L — ® 1 1 ' t I ‘ f 1 r- w. — 1 —r r—- •—r- a ' - AG CLUB Emerson phebus.president Vernon Childers.Vice-president Robert poppe.Secretary-Treasurer This club was organized to promote interest in Agri¬ culture and Nature. It trains boys in the arts of scientific farming., in the ways of bettering rural life., and in general making the farm a better place on which to live. Only boys taking Vocational Agriculture at Lowell High are eligible for membership in the club. Each year this club makes sev¬ eral interesting and educational tours covering many dif¬ ferent phases of agriculture. This year the club visited Purdue University, International Harvester Company, Inter¬ national Livestock Show, Swine Day at Crown Point, and made several rural inspection tours. It is from these members that the judging teams that represent Lowell High are selected. These various teams have received several notable awards in the past year. A team composed of Vernon Childress, Emerxon phebus, Leopold Kalvaitis, and Archie Huebsch won fifth at the Indiana Muck Crop Show. Emerson Phebus also carried off third honors at the district Corn Husking Contest. John Bailey, Dick Keith- ley, John Keithley, Donald Bailey, and James Windbigler won the title of Lake County Livestock Judging Champions at the Lake County Fair last August. It has become an annual custom in the Ag Club for the Juniors and Seniors to oppose the under-classmen in a pest killing contest. This contest has proven to be of inesti¬ mable value to this community. This year the efforts of the freshman-sophomore team overcame their rivals, the upper¬ classmen . James Little, the Vocational Agriculture teacher, is the sponsor of all Club work and is coach of the judging and demonstration teams sponsored by the club. it is the united efforts of the officers and sponsor that has done much to make the club the success that it was during the year past. - 1 T--„- ’!ZTTT - —r™. ■ ' - ■ P � 1-1— IP LiL E .r. g- J p . • . p a n ■ -±-« tr Jr i . r- wp: j i ■ —l. ■■ ---iv : — -—-r m - L -k-- r T ft m P 1. , 77i r .- v r ; J T p f P T P J w r, i j. ,k C 9 X } RED PEPPER CLUB President. Mona Corten Vice-president.Inell Duncan Secretary-Treasurer.Marjie Wehle 11 1 (name) in order to become a member of the Red Pepper club, do solemnly swear that I will abide by all regu lations and laws of the organization, I shall never disgrace myself or our club by showing unsportmanlike conduct. The Red Pepper club shall always receive my utmost consideration and co-operation; I shall endeavor to apply it in the pur¬ suit of leisure time. I shall do all in my power to promote the interests of the Red Pepper club. This is the oath, taken by girls coming into the Red Pepper club ever since 1934, when the Green Popper and Red Popper united into one. It has boon the predominant girls athletic organization of the school until the latter part of this year. To bccono a member of tho club, a girl must socuro 300 points which could be obtained by participation in tho in¬ tramural sports conducted during the noon hours. A letter is given to girls when they receive a total of 1500 points, and up to the present year it had been custo¬ mary to give pins to those receiving 1900 points, but this year these will be awarded white cardigans. Much preparation is now being made for the girls to join the C-.A.A., a national high school girls ' athletic association. The pointing system of this organization differs great¬ ly from that of the Red Pepper club; the points being given on a smaller scale, ' ■ ' ■ ' here are approximately 40 suggested organized activities for which a maximum of 20 points per activity per year are given. Both local and state awards are given during the fiscal year for girls earning them. There are also State Play Days and National Conventions at the close of the year, which only members of the organiza¬ tion are able to attend. A school may become members of this club when their local constitution has been accepted, dues paid, o.nd the state point system adopted or a local points system accepted by the executive committee of the loague.

One representative is chosen from each home room which makes a total of eight members. The purpose of the club from the time of organization has been to bring happiness into sick rooms of students by sending flowers., candy, etc.; to ease the sorrow caused by death in a student ' s family through the sending of flowers; to bring about a closer feeling among the students through the sponsoring of parties; to welcome all new students to our school and try to make them feel more at home. At the present time the club is without a constitut ion, but this will soon be remedied, for a constitution is now being written. LATIN CLUB Herbert Rawlings . President Seth McLellan . Vice-President Haney Lou Spindler...Secretary-Treasurer The Socies Latina was organized in the fall of 1939. The aims of the club are: to promote interest in the study of Latin, and to study the customs and manners of the Latin people. Business meetings are brief and any of the remainder of the meeting is devoted to reports and to the playing of Latin games. The club was organized and is sponsored by the Latin teacher. Miss Pendleton. Students who are now taking Latin or who have had two years of Latin are eligible to join. A portion of the Christmas program was the singing of Christmas carols in Latin by the Latin Club. The president, Herbert Rawlings, was a winner in the District Latin contest in March and as a result of winning first place competed in the state Latin contest in April.

President Herbert Rawlings. . . .. Vice-President Bonnie Fe Ider . Secretary-Treasurer The Student Council is a deliberative body organized in 1929 , whose purpose it is to foster understanding and cooperation between faculty and student body. Until this year., the Council ' s powers were not clearly defined., and this resulted in conflicts as to its rights and duties. This year a constitution was adopted which outlines the organization in this way: Membership is composed of one member from each specific groupj that is, one representative for each home room and each club. An alternate for each member is elected. Each member is subject to recall by his group, and to expulsion for failure to attend meetings without legal excuse. Any member may bfing for discussion in the Council any question or problem of his group. The council has the pri¬ vilege of consulting with teachers upon problems concerning them and the groups they sponsor. ASome of the problems which have contronted the Council this year are care of school property, the condition of hall traffic, school parties, and athletic projects. The members of the Council are as follows: Maurice Gord .Senior President Robert Crisler . Freshman Boys Alice Keithley . Freshman Girls Joe Carroll.. . Sophomore Boys Patricia Petrie. . Sophomore Girls Richard Hiland . Junior Boys Betty Black . Junior Girls John Bailey..... . Senior Boys Phyllis Jane Spindler ...Senior Girls Lester Schreiber . Ag Club Bonnie Felder .

Besides singing purely for pleasuro, the chorus ex¬ tends practical experience to its members, who represent all the classes in high school.

Although the girls have had officers for the past two years, this year for the first time the Girls ' Glee Club has drawn up a constitution in which the requirements of mem¬ bership are stressed particularly. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB M.trjorie Chism.... . President Phyllis Jane Spindler . Vice-President Alvina Schreiber . Secretary-Tre asurer A new organization this year for Lowell High School is the Home Economics Club. The idea originated first in the mind of our home economics teacher and club sponsor. Miss Amy Perry, and was enthusiastically accepted by the home economic classes. A petition for a new club was drawn up, and granted by the Student Council before further organiza¬ tion plans were made. The constitution setting forth the purpose of the club and the rules and regulations was writ- t en. The purpose of the club was stated as being the promo¬ tion of interest in home economics and home economics voca¬ tions both in high school and in later life, and to work for the general betterment of Lowell High School. In order to be eligible for membership in the club, a student must either be active in high school, and she must meet an estab¬ lished grade requirement in that subjecg. Our membership consists primarily of gir1s, but there is one boy, Robert Parks, in the club this year. It is possible for boys to enroll in home economics classes, and those who take home economics are eligible to be a member of the club, providing they are otherwise eligible. Our membership of this year totaled forty-seven. The club has partaken in several activities this year. In the latter part of March, the Ag Club joined the Home Ec Club in an evening party. Travel pictures were shown by Mrs. Scritchfie1d, games were played and refreshments served. With the money raised by a bake sale the club es¬ tablished itself as a member of the Indiana State Home Eco¬ nomics Club. Forty-six members enjoyed a bus trip to Chica¬ go and tours through the dietetic department of the Michael Hospital and Jane Addam 1 s famous Hull House. The club also sponsored a school-wide Clean Up Week. The organization assisted the Red Pepper Club with the annual Mother ' s Day Tea. The officers of the Clubs, attired in formal dresses, served at the tea. The club also plans a spring picnic. SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Late Christopher Bean by Sidney Howard Directed by Martha Landgrebe The Late Christopher Bean is a three act comedy., and ran on Broadway in 1932. It was written for the well-known actress, Pauline Lord. The play has also been in moving pic¬ tures, starring Marie Dressier as Abby, and Lionel Barrymore as Doctor Haggett. All three acts take place in the dining room of a coun¬ try doctor ' s home not far from Boston. Dr. Haggett, the country doctor, is a stout, undistinguished, rural medical man of fifty. Mrs. Haggett is about the same age. Unlike him however, she has assumed certain cityfied airs in dresss and bearing, which she feels lift her above her native vil- 1 age. A painter named Christopher Bean had died in a New Eng¬ land village leaving only a few dirty canvasses to pay the doctor for his work. It was a mild surprise to Dr. Haggett and his family when an old friend of Bean ' s paid his old bill and only took away a couple of pictures as souvenirs. His real name was Tallant. His occupation was forging pic¬ tures that had been painted by great artists. He is a very smooth, sleek gentleman. It was a bigger surprise when another old friend of Bean ' s, a little Jewish man named Ro¬ sen, turned up on a similar errand. It excited him when he learned that he was not the first one to arrive. The biggest surprise of all was when a great New York art critic arrived to pay his respects to the memory of the dead artist. This was the real Mr. Davenport and his errand was not that of the other scavengers. It was overwhelming when they learned that Christopher ' s daubs were worth a fortune—and how they scurried to find them. There was one in the chicken coop and the daughter, Ada had painted some flowers on the back of another, and Abby, the maid, had a portrait of herself in her foom. There were also seventeen other pictures scattered throughout the house. A mad scramble ensued with Abby in the thick of it. Abby is a lovable and sympathetic woman and very fond of the Haggett ' s younger daughter, Susan. Susan and a young pain¬ ter., Warren Creamer, furnish the love interest in the play and find their way to happiness by eloping. Her sister, Ada who fancies her baby prettiness and babylike manner, is also very much interested in Warren. Her greatest desire is to be rich. Ada believes she is an artist and thinks a lot of her own works. She thinks so much of her ability she tris to give other people pointers on how to paint, and in this manner comes to grief. Abby finds out what the family are scheming to do with her pictures and becomes very angry. She is preparing to leave for Chicago, while the scavengers are plotting about selling the pictures. The climax is reached when Abby re¬ veals that she is Mrs. Christopher Bean, and has more right to the pictures than any of them. They are so startled when Abby reveals this, that they give the pictures back without further argument. Cast of Characters Dr. Haggett... Susan . Abby . Mrs. Haggett.. Ada Haggett...

JUNIOR PLAY Sadie Williams, quite attractive, thought clerking a strife—inherited ten thousand—and led one grand life. On November 10, the Junior class presented This Is The Life , a three act comedy written by Robert Ray and directed by Martha Landgrebe. Sadie Williams, an attractive employee of the Ralston Brothers Department Store, had an ambition to own cars, clothes, servants and money, but held little hope for such; her salary wouldn ' t permit it. Katie Clark, her roommate and also an employee of the same store, was her sole com¬ forter. Sam Hines, a floorwalker at Ralston ' s and Harold Carter, the millinery buyer, also boarders at Mrs. Bingham ' s pursued their fun during the evenings by complaining about their landlady and her star and deaf boarder, Mrs. Busby. On one of such evenings, Sam was paying Sadie a visit while Katie and Harold went to a movie. Sadie received a telegram saying that she had inherited ten thousand dollars from an uncle who had died. Immediately she decided to realize her ambitions. With all the persuasion that San could offer not to spend the money wildly, she wouldn ' t save it. Palm Springs was her destination and nothing could stop her. She hired Katie, alias Kathryn Clarkson, to be her maid and companion; Harold Carter as her secretary; and would have hired Sam as her chauffeur, but he declined. For herself she chose the name, Sadie Wilitski. Singing for joy not only satisfied Sadie but brought down Mrs. Bingham to interrupt their revelry. She arrived at Palm Springs only to find out that Oscar Ralston and his wife were enjoying their vacation there. Clever tactics on Sadie ' s part didn ' t disclose her identity. But trouble had just begun and now Melissa Lander demanded her suite, now occupied by Sadie. A climax came when Feodor Wilitski, supposedly a brother of Sadie ' s arrived. Feodor posed as a orook to get Melissa Lander ' s pearls and tried to make Sadie his accomplice. Realizing it would be best to disclose herself, she did so to Mr. Ralston. Martha, Oscar ' s wife, overheard the confession and when Me¬ lissa ' s pearls were missing she accused Sadie of the theft. In the nick of time Sam arrived to clear urgent matters. He, Sam Hinds, was working at Ralston ' s for atmosphere in his new picture starring Melissa; Feodor was a producer and personal friend and when Sadie got the money and wanted to make a splash he and Feodor fixed it up so she would. As a result, Harold made a man of himself so Katie would marry him; Sadie realized that she loved Sam and would marry him; Mr. Ralston remained hen-pecked; Senor Olinera ' s Inn ' s repu¬ tation was saved and Julie found the pearls.

Open House is held annually and although it is im¬ possible to show everything that is done in the school, it is very easy to see the many improvements of the last few years. During the visitation hour (7:30-8:30) parents were permitted to have conferences with the teachers in their re¬ spective rooms. Many projects were on exhibition such as: Styles of Architecture, Budgets, Children ' s garments and baked goods from the Home Economics Department; Demonstration of high frequency electricity and stroboscope and cat dissec¬ tion were the main interests in the Science laboratory; in the Agriculture department, they tested milk, displayed farm maps, and sharpened and repaired tools. The Art Classes displayed puppets, weaving, and figure drawing. Another highlight which caught the eye of the public was the amateur radio transmitter setup by Earl Pace and James Hunt. Many students talked to other amateur broad¬ casters. By the way, 73 means good-bye and 87 means love and kisses. Their station is W9QPF. When the class bells rang at 8:30j all the people went to the auditorium where they witnessed a fine program which was as follows. Lowell High Band . Mr. Tritt, Director 1. March—The Foot lifter .

Through this plan we secure ourselves in society two waySj by learning to successfully associate with others by participating in extra-curricular activities which have been enumerated in these several pages, and by securing our future by our studies jn the class room where we glean knowledge to bd used in a chosen profession. Too often we fail to consider that the time we spend in an educational institution is the amount we pay for social insurance for the future. This page is devoted to those students that have contributed the most toward social secur¬ ity through their studies. Rating is determined by the num¬ ber of grade points the student has acquired in the past four years for each six weeks; which does not determine the class valedictorian who is selected by a semester rating. 1.

This Honor Society has worked so well that it has been de¬ cided to make it a permanent organization. The three highest honor students in each class are a— warded a key on Honor Day and receive recognition in the Lowellian. In addition., the three highest seniors have their names engraved on an honor plaque in the main hall of the school building and receive special recognition at Commencement. Honor points are awarded to the members of clubs, teams, plays, and organizations. The officers of these activities receive extra honor points. Distinguished students and stu¬ dent assistants also are awarded points. Special mention is made of John Bardens, who, although he made the most points in his class this year, did not make the high three list. Below is a list of the leaders in each class.

In football a total of eight games were played. Of these, four were won from Ho¬ bart, Griffith and two from our traditional rivals. Crown Point. The other four games were lost to very tough oppo¬ nents in Tolleston, Rennselaer, Morocco and Valpo. Seize and inexperience were a huge handicap to the Red Devils. This year a new system was employed in the captain situation. Some boy on the team served temporary as captain during the season then a senior was elected after the season. Bob 3irois won t his honor in football. Horner, Patz, Sirois Hoffman, Metz, Corns, Black and Gord will be lost in foot¬ ball by graduation. Of these Horner, Pat z and Sirois are the only regulars to be lost and Novak, VanDeursen and Lan— gen should quickly fill their shoes. The team next year will be heavier, smarter, and tougher so expect a good sea¬ son . In basketball we had just a fair season. The Red Devils won 8 and lost 9 games. The locals were small and at times just couldn ' t seem to find the basket. They beat Crown Point two gamex in basketball too, to score a grand slam for the year. In the Little Five Tournament held at Crown Point the Red Devils were hitting and clicking with uncanny accuracy to down a tall rangy Calumet Township team 35 to 13. The second game was dropped to Tolleston 38 to 25. The locals were tired in this game and Tollexton ' s height garnered many tip-ins to defeat the Red Devils. The first game in the sectional held in the Civic Cen¬ ter in Hammond was lost to Edison of East Gary by a score of 34 to 23. Edison went on to beat Griffith and then fall to Whiting after a tough battle. Horner, Herlitz, Sirois and Patz will be lost by gra¬ duation. Hiland, Carlson, Hall, VanDeursen, and Carroll will be Coach Wernz 1 men next year. Track has regained its feet and is coming to be popu¬ larity under the leadership of Coach Little. To date, one track meet has been won and one has been lost. At the time of this writing seven more meets are scheduled but will be held too late to make this issue.

FOOTBALL SEASON Lowell 19—Griffith 0 In the first tilt of the season., the Red Devils sur¬ prised everyone by an easy 19-0 victory over the Griffith Panther s. They were seemingly unhampered by the fact that six¬ teen men were lost by graduation and among these was the entire first string. The inexperience of the Lowell eleven showed up in the fact that they were penalized over lOO yards. The first counter of the game was scored after a long drive down the field in the first, ten minutes of the games. Corner took a punt on Lowell ' s 47 yard line and twisted his way back to the 27. Horner lost 2 yards on the next play and a 5 yard penalty made the count second and 17 to go for a first down. Lappie picked up 8 yards in two smashes and Horner made nine for a first down on the 17 yard line. The Red Devils again were penalized 5 yards. Horner lost 7 yards in two downs and then ran around end for 22 yards and Lappie smashed the line and went over standing up for the first touchdown of the game. The line play was very vicious with Randolph., Patz, Brownell and VanDeursen dominating by ripping big holes in the Panther ' s line. Lowell H—Crown Point 6 The old rivalry was very evident in this heated con¬ test. As usual the outcome of this game could not be de¬ termined until the final gun. The fans were in a continuous uproar from start to finish. The opponents from Hub City had more first downs but the superior spirit of the locals resulted in a 14-6 victory. Jack Horner., our fleet-footed and slippery-hipped hal f- back, was almost the sole scorer of the game as he made two touchdowns and one of the extra points. The first half was almost all played deep in Lowell ' s territory with Riley., Kelsey and Gervais reeling off long runs through the Red Devil ' s line. C.P. ' s touchdown came on a pass from Gervais to Westbay., 30 seconds before the half. The last half the locals were a changed team. Fighting like demons they scored in six plays after the start of the ... J. ..... i ' . ..L . J i ' :::.pTT3C - TTP-C -� i A ft T-r ■ f- half. The next touchdown was made on a i6 yard run by Hor¬ ner. The extra point was made by Childress. Lowell piled up a total of 197 yards from scrimmage to Crown Point ' s 94. Lowell 13—Hobart In a renewal of an old rivalry the Hobart Brickies were victimized by the Red Devils by a score of 13 to O. This win marked the last victory before the great drouth. Playing in a light rain., the Red Devils smashec to their third straight win on their own field. Horner scored two touchdowns on 6 and l yard runs respectively. He also gar¬ nered the extra point. With Lappie plunging, Horner running the ends, and Childress making yards on reverses, the Red Devils won with ease. Lowell — Tolleston 20 Playing under disadvantages of injuries and inferior weight the locals were trounced to the tune of 20-0 by the strong versatile Blue Raiders of Tolleston. Outweighed twenty pounds to the man, the Red Dev ils fought grimly but to no avail. From a peculiar unbalanced line, Zarcoff and Sebbens of Tolleston ran like wild through our line. These two, both halfbacks, were picked on several all-state teams later in the season and they played like pros against Lowell. Horner ' s superior speed was almost the downfall of the Blue Raider ' s at several different times. At the kickoff starting the half he carried the ball back 40 yards and was stopped by their safety man. Another time he cracked off tackle and weaved, twisted and dodged his way for thirty yards. Lowell 0—Rensselaer 34 Rensselaer made up for all the smarting defeats suffer¬ ed at the hands of the Red Devils in past years. On a fros¬ ty, wind-swept field, the powerful Rensselaer eleven dealt a 34-0 drubbing to Lowell. Rensselaer kicked off to Lowell and after two plays the Red Devils fumbled with Rensselaer recovering. On the next play Kanne zigzagged through the line and marched 48 yards •i t 3TTX 4—1 - 4 - HfT-r+i-j for a touchdown. AmeSj Kanne, Richie, and Bowman all shared honors throughout the game. With their large gains, extreme deception., speed, and passes they won with comparative ease. Lowell 7—Morocco 22 The strongest Morocco team in years handed Lowell their third straight defeat of the year by a score of 22—7. Mer¬ chant, small Beaver left-half, passed, punted and ran to win the ball game for Morocco. The second half was played in rain and a sea of mud. Fumbles were frequent and poor punts resulted. One fumble resulted in a safety for the Beavers. Novak provided Lowell ' s lone tally by scoring from the five yard line and went off tackle for the extra point. Lowell 12—Crown Point 0 On a muddy slippery Lowell field. Crown Point tried to avenge their first defeat of the season. But the Red Devils, smarting from three straight defeats trounced them 12-0. Both Lowell touchdowns were made on extremely long runs by Jack Horner. Operating behind a machine-like line he scored the first touchdown from the 49 line. Reversing his field twice Horner ran 60 yards on a tricky play for the second touchdown. Both tries for extra point failed. Lowell O—Valpo 27 A badly battered and bruised Lowell eleven journeyed to Valpo to suffer their fourth defeat of the season. The Vikings, as usual, had an assorted attack. A lot of spinners and deceptive plays were used and they also could smash the line, lateral, or use their good sound pass¬ ing attack. Horner provided the greatest thrill of the game when he ran the opening kickoff back 40 yards. It seemed he was away but one man forced him to the sideline and the safety man brought him down with a smashing tackle. Another spurt was made in the last quarter when Childress snared two twenty yard passes. In this game Horner, Sirois, VanDeur- sen, and Lappie did a good job of backing up the line, but the line was weak. And on offense the blocking of the whole team was inferior. Lowell completed her football season the week before against Crown Point. -v- —r-f—— -. Q — j-TTT- rH ' r J -J A - , r . i r ' -T f ' -T r - r L M4£] - 25s — a .. L ' .. BASKETBALL SEASON Lowell 19—Hobart 26 Apparently hampered by a small gym and a slight shyness due to their first game of the seasonj the Red Devils dropped the first tilt of the 1939-1940 season to the Hobart Brick¬ ies., 26-19. Carlson was hurt in a clash under the basket and received a gash over the eye. Sirois and Carlson led the scoring for the locals with five points apiece. Lowell 22—Kouts 16 In the first home game of the seasonj the Red Devils defeated KoutSj 22-16. t The locals dominated the game throughout. Lowell had the lead the entire game and played cautiouslyj getting a basket whenever needed. Whitey Herlitz ran amuckj scoring 19 of Lowell ' s 22 point s. Lowell 23—Hebron 26 Losing the first game in a decade to Hebronj the Red Devils played an exciting but disappointing game. Before a roaring crowd., the Red Devils established a comfortable lead at the half but the inspired Hawks came back and canned shots from all corners. Johnsonj towering center for the HawkSj was the undoing of the locals. He racked up 12 points. Herlitz again led the pack by splashing in 12 points. Lowell 23—Morocco 25 The Devils won the toughest game of the season to date by nosing out a strong Morocco quintetj 29-25. The entire game was nip and tuck until 3 minutes re¬ mained, when Horner hit one of his specialties from the foul lane and Patz followed up with a side shot to put the game on ice for Lowell. Lowell 36—Crown Point 25 With Hornerj Patz, and Herlitz hitting with uncanny ac- curacyj the Red Devils burned up and down the Hub City courts to have an easy time over the Bulldogs. :-;- t ■■■ • : .-.- — rx i p m ■ r p T-T ffft r 5 ' V, - T- f t P •o • r r t i r m LMy:-L.-L1 LJ The score at the half was i9-9 and the Red Devils coast¬ ed in to win 36-25. Jack Horner., speedy Lowell guard, held Crown Point ' s speed demon, Grayson, to 2 points. The scoring was evenly divided among Horner, Herlitz, and Patz. Lowell 31—Kent land 27 Playing their second game in three nights, the Red Devils were undoubtedly off their stride but still had e- nough spunk left to defeat Kentland by a 31-27 score. Sirois hit two long baskets when they counted a lot in the outcome of the game. The scoring balanced as it should be on a winning team. Six men broke into the scoring column with Horner and Herlitz governing nine points. Little Five Tournament The Red Devils, playing their best game of the season, defeated the rangy Calumet Twp. five, 35-13 in a holiday tournament sponsored by the Little Five and held in Crown Point. The next game fell on Saturday afternoon and the Red devils were defeated to the tune of 38-25. This licking was dealt by an immense Tolleston five who had an easy game the night before. The score at the third quarter was 21-18. But the tired locals fell prey to tip-in shots by Tolleston ' s tall men. Horner and Herlitz both made the all-Tourney team. Lowell 33—Morocco 31 Morocco once more fell prey to the raging Red Devils in a hotly contested battle and lost 33-31. This game was bitterly fought and like the last one, was nip and tuck all the way through. The score was 18-16 in favor of Morocco at the half and at the third quarter it was 26 -23 still in favor of Morocco. The Red Devils then rallied and with one minute remaining, Horner tied the score 30-30 on a drive-in shot and then Sirois put the locals ahead with a long one from center. The next point was made by Hiland on a foul shot. Herlitz, Patz, and Horner garnered 10,9, and 8 points- respectively. Lowell 22—North Judson 4-1 Another victory was snatched from the hands of the Red Devils by a one man North Judson team. The locals were not hitting and were handicapped by sickness and colds. Bochnicka, huge 210 lb., 6‘1 center., dealt the licking to Lowell almost by himself. He controlled rebounds from both baskets and scored 25 of North Judson ' s points. Lowell 24—Edison 26 Seemingly jinxed by a strong Edison team, Lowell came the closest to beating the Eagle team than any other Lowell team in the school ' s history. In a rough and tumble battle, the locals lost 26-24 in an overtime period. The locals missed set-up abter set-up but still managed to tie the score at the end, 24-24. Homo- sky, Edison guard, grabbed the ball on the overtime tip-off and swished an uncanny one-hander from out past the 20 foot line, to clinch the game for them. Lowell 44—Hobart 27 Gaining revenge in the second tilt with Hobart, the Red Devils went rampant and roughshod over the Brickies by a 44- 27 score. The locals ran up a 15-3 lead in the first quar¬ ter, let down some in the second, then sped on in the remain¬ ing quarter to swamp Hobaft. Herlitz, Horner, Patz, and Carlson had the scoring fair¬ ly evenly divided between them. Lowell 22—Brook 72 Receiving their worst defeat of the season, an ice cold Lowell team was smashed by a red-hot Brook team by a score of 72-22. Tod 4 Corbett, and Long were Brook ' s stars, with Todd amassing 19 points while Corbett and Long both collected 18. Lowell 29—Griffith 46 Apparently not completely recovered from the flu, which hovered over them all week, and also by the fact that Van Deursen, iron defense man was lost on account of fouls, Grif¬ fith stole the show in the last half to win 46-29. Herlitz and Sirois led the scoring. hfiT- 7rr fr H P . P J m v ■r.r I_ _ ■ . .

For the first time since 1935 Lowell won both football and both basketball games from Crown Point . A thrilling game kept the crowd on their feet the en¬ tire last half. When 3 minutes remained the Bulldogs led 33- 32. When the locals broke up the Crown Point rone defense and flashed in to score nine points in three minutex and win with li points. Lowell 26 — Goodland. 36 The last game of the season would up in disaster for the Bed Devils. As usual, the locals were cold as icebergs after an excellent game against Crown Point. The Goodland team lec 31-17 in the third quarter as Lowell ' s hopes faded. The last quarter was a wild fouling affair with Goodland making 18 fouls and the locals 4. The game would up 35-26 in favor of Goodland. Sectional Tourney Journeying to the Hammond Civic Center, the locals lost their first game in the sectional to Edison. Battling gamely but futilely the Bed Devils seemed to be lost in the huge Civic Center. Edison ' s height was to an advantage for them and they won 34—23. Horner starred for Lowell this time and collected ID points while Herlitr got 8.

Major sports during the last year included speedball, (substituted for soccer), hit pin baseball, volley ring ten¬ nis, basketball, baseball, and tennis. After several team practices, round robin or elimination tourneys were held in each sport. This year the juniors proved themselves super¬ ior by winning the majority of class championships. Minor sports played a more important part this year than ever before, with the boys also participating in these games. Elimination tourneys were held in badminton and ping pong (both continued from last year), tether ball, loop ten¬ nis, box hockey, and deck tennis which were played for the first time . Deck tennis is similar to the major sport volley ring, the game being played with the same general rules, but on a smaller court and with one person constituting a side. Box hockey, as the name suggests, is played with two sticks resembling those used in hockey. The purpose of the game is to hit the puck with your stick, through the small opening on your opponent ' s side of the box. Loop tennis is a game played with paddles. A tall pole with a ball attached to the top by a long string is used, the players stand facing each other on opposite sides of the ball. Each tries to put the ball through the loop with his paddle. Tether ball also is a game played using a long pole with a ball attached. The players in this game attempt with their paddles to wind, in opposite directions, the ball around the pole above a certain mark. On February 2b, the girls participated in a Play Day at Crown Point. Its chief purpose was to promote better co¬ operation and sportsmanship between the athletes of the var¬ ious schools. During the day all types of games, sports, and contests were played. Intramural sports are playing a bigger part in the activities of the girls each year, and because of the fun and great enjoyment derived will undoubtedly keep on growing in popularity. jNWMMMhlCMU CALENDAR September 5— School starts. 6— Lessons begin. 7— -Donkey baseball game. 8— Donkey baseball game—Senior rings arrive. 11— Little Sister-Big Sister Party. 12— Girls hold first athletic meeting. 13 — Senior class elections. 14— Girls intramural begins. 15— First football game; L.
