G 0 LOWELLIAN --- Dorothy Albertson T H e s T F Even a chatterbox can be dignified, at times. A R T H E Albie has helped our class be less dignified and infor- s mal with her pleasant little giggle and. bright smile. With H f a two year record as an Honorable Mention student and.short— V R hand as her favorite subjectj she should make a success at E E E a Business College (ambition). Bless it ; says Dorothy L when she hears someone smacking gum (pet peeve) in the movies 1 H £ (hobby). Perhaps the year she spent as a Science Club mem- A berj she was trying to invent a gum that wouldn ' t smack. T R T Her weakness is reading novels. E O H Audrey Alger W E L t 0 p She talks and talks K E But that is human. I M A She loves the men, N 0 But that is woman. 0 0 H Red has been one of the most popular girls in our M E 0 class. Perhaps this was due to her dislike of conceited M E people (pet peeve). Audrey has taken an all around part A i in the school activities by being a member of the Science N Clubj Press Club_, and the Lowellian and Lowellette staffs for one year. Her lovely voice obtained for her a part in A the Junior Play and it also won for her two years membership L B in the Glee Club. Audrey claims her hobby is collecting Y cats, fishj and canaries but sports also play a big part in H A her lifej for she was a member of the G.A.A. for four years Y N G (secretary-treasurer in 1 41)j and was chosen the best ath— H E lete of the Junior girls in the Lowellian Contest. In ' 40 U L she also received the G.A.A. Letter Award. Audrey was also t s N A a Distinguished and Honorable Mention student during 37. w N D S (paries A In?

Chuck came to Lowell High in his Junior Y ear from Merrilville and became one of the best known boys in our class along with being on the Honorable Mention list both years. Jewell Bailey Julie-bug is a little pal But can she put out the work! At piano playing she ' ll ne ' re fail, And she ' s not the type to shirk. Jewell will find her four years as Glee Club accompanist very useful in her future career as professional accompanistj for there ' s no doubt but that she will be a very good one. A member of the Band all four years., Science Club for one year, G.A.A. for two years, Librarian for two years, manager of the Junior-Senior Candy Sales, School Orchestra for one year. Distinguished Student for four years, and a member of the Honor Society in ' 38, sums up one of the most active school careers of the Class of 1941. Faye Bales Fanny is a Little squirt — I might add, a little flirt, But on top of that she ' s mighty sweet, The likes of her are hard to beat. It ' s questionable just how much good her favorite sub¬ ject, zoology, is going to be in her career of manicurist, but she can always dance (hobby). A member of the G.A.A. all four years and Science Club, Lowellette Staff for one year, she will have no trouble get¬ ting along when she goes out into the world. Alice Barton Alice is a bonny lass — Chosen fairest from our Junior Class, She plans to spend her time Keeping others in their prime. If Pat is a good beautician, there probably won ' t be any brunettes (pet peeve) left who would deserve the name UA Z T T - X! -V? - T9ttT LOW ELL I A N —— itr - j F L A G 0 F T H £ F R E E H E A R T S H 0 P E A N 0 H 0 M E I r 1941 LOWELL I AN old bag (pet expression). Coming to Lowell High in her Sophomore year from Grand Rapids, Ohio, she made a place for herself by participating in the Glee Club, Home Ec Club, and the Lowellette Staff. (Sarolynn Betplar er One of the most popular gals In the class of vi ; She always had plenty of Pals, And inc idund iy, plenty of fun. Billie considers dromati her favorite subject and has hopes of becoming a drcrrr.tist of the Orson Welles ' type or perhaps on the Shakespearean plane. Ko doubt her part as heroine of the Junior Play and hobby of classic dancing will help her immensely in her career. A member of the Press Club in 40, Science Club in 37, 39 and 40, and Latin Club in 39 and 40, she also had the honor of being vice-president of our Sophomore Class. Tonpie Berg 6 V A N G E L N A N 0 S T 0 V A L 0 R G I V £ N Dark and silent, A mystery man — Where women were concerned He usually ran. Barney enjoys ice skating (hobby) so much that he is ambitious to learn to roller skate also. With bookkeeping as his favorite subject, Tommie has to admit that he dislikes oral talk 3 or reports. Here ' s hoping he won ' t have to give any more talks or have too many hard falls on skates or in life. Betty Black Betty Belle isn ' t black at all In fact she ' s very gay. Never recognizing a stone wall, She always finds a way. Kith typing as her favorite subject, it ' s logical that Betty is going to be someone ' s private secretary and she — 1941 LOWELL I AN - T H e S T A R S E L I T T H E W E L K I N 0 0 M E A N 0 A L L T H Y H U E S W E R E B 0 R N I N H E A V E N 2E 1941 LOWELL I AN SI :.s .u —. .--A won ' t be bothered by Robbie while typing (pet peeve) either. One of the most popular girls., Betty was in the Press Club for one year., Glee Club all four years. Student Council for three years. Librarian for one year, Lowellian and Low- ellette staffs for one year, in the Junior Play, and on the Honorable Mention list practically all the time. Melvin Boardway Abner is a Lanky boy — Gives gum to all the girls But beneath it all, he ' s very coy And only Loves Indianapolis girls with curls. Mel likes mechanical drawing best of all and plans to be a mechanic when he graduates. He was on the stage crew for the Junior Play and on the Lowellette staff for one year besides rendering valuable assistance to Mr. Neimann in the laboratory. H 0 M E ! B Y A N G E L Alfred Broe With bookkeeping as his favorite subject and Gussy ' s his pet peeve, he should be able to realize his ambition of being a good husband for one of those girls (weakness). Broe did some good work writing up and reporting boys sports for the Lowellette, was on the Junior Play stage crew, worked on the Lowellian, and rated Honorable Mention in 37— nice work, Broe. Eleanor Brown H A N 0 s T 0 V A L 0 ft E El lie is the quiet type. Always very lady-like According to her: You never can tell So always be wary and all will be well. Eleanor ' s favorite subjects are speech and dramatics, but she plans to be an interior decorator when she gets out in the world, so two year ' s membership in the Home Ec Club will prove very helpful. No doubt her weakness (sweets) will not prove oppressive if she retains her hobby (hiking) in the years to come. !☆ I -—- ii -rt- .V-LOWELLIAN- a - - -ff F L A G 0 F T H E ' F R E E H E A R T S 1941 LOWELL I AN Gertrude Brunjbaugl? Gertie Likes shorthand Though her pet peeve is school — But we know she will think it ' s grand When as some one ' s secretary she’ll rule. One of the outstanding girl athletes in the Class Gertie was an active member of the G.A.A. all four Even when she becomes a hard working secretary she have plenty of time for collecting pictures (hobby), to you, Gertie.

And I do mean Mary Jane She really went a’ soaring In honors! No complaint! In her Senior year alone; Murry had the enviable dis¬ tinction of being secretary-treasurer of her class., Presi¬ dent of the Press Clubj Editor of the Lowellian, art editor of the Lowellette, and receiver of the D.A.R. Leadership Award. This is favorably supplemented by one year of Band; two years of the Lowellette and Lowellian Staffs, four years in the Science Club, two years in the Latin Club, two years in the Home Ec Club, member of the Junior Play stage crew, recipient of the Woman ' s Club Award in ' 39, and she gained Honorable Mention all four years. With a record like this she can ' t help but be a success in whatever field she enters, which expresses her ambition. Varies Garroll Basketball is his hobby, His favorite subject is speech, With ambitions to go to business school, Untold heights he ' ll reach. Manager of the basketball team for one season, Junior really likes all sports but ice skating (pet peeve). He was on the basketball squad for three years. Besides this, he was in the Press Club one year and received Honorable Mention for one year. - 1941 LOWELLIAN - s T A R s T H E W E L K I N 0 0 M E A N 0 A L L T H Y H U E S w E R E I 8 I N i H E A V E N a ri 0 F T H E F R E £ H E A R T S H 0 P E A N 0 H 0 N E !

Betty was a member of the Science Club for one year and in the G.A.A. for three. Fondali gilders Talented in sewing, She also can tap — Many are audiences She ' s made toe Lap. Foni considers typing her favorite subject, but has hopes of becoming a seamstress some day. Her hobby of col¬ lecting four-leaf clovers may influence fate to that end but I ' m afraid there will still be brunettes (pet peeve) about. Fondali was a member of the Home Ec Club for two years. Vernon Gbildress s Y A N G E L H A N 0 s T 0 V A L 0 R G Vernon is a bit shy, His favorite subject is Ag, He plans to be a great coach, For in sports he never did lag. Vern may not like chemistry but he certainly used science in his three years on the football, basketball, and track squads. A member of the Ag Club in 38, 39, and 40, he was vice-president his Senior year. Always friendly, I ' m sure no one will ever object to Vernon ' s weakness for chew¬ ing gum.

Inell Duncan Puss” is her nickname But I really don ' t know why, For being catty she cannot take the blame Or barely even try. Inell., a member of the G.A.A. all four years., is another athlete and won both her letter and sweater. Planning to be a secretary after graduation., she lists bookkeeping as her favorite subject and for a hobby chooses skating. Puss was on the stage crew for the Junior Play., rated Honorable Mention for three years., and was a Distinguished Student for one year. Martha Ebert Tall and slim, She likes to walk. In study hall She hates to talk. At least that ' s Marty ' s pet peeve. Listing shorthand as her favorite subject., she plans to be a stenographer when she graduates. Here ' s hoping that her weakness, J. P., does not get in the way. Martha was a member of the Home Ec Club for one year.

Although, at times she is argumentive, You can blame that on her girlish incentive. That ambition may be inaccurate but she said., It ' s a secret, so we took rhyming liberties.

Of different schools, Jo has had her share, So her talent in art has been known everywhere. Coming to Lowell High in her Senior year, Jo revealed a pleasing personality which made many friends for her; she immediately pitched in and became part of our school. Joyce served as sub yell-leader and has rated Honorable Mention all year. Vi Ilian? Langen A swashbuckling football hero is Wimp And plus all that he ' s no simp He has a cute little girl called Ila Mae, So it seems that fate has paved the way. Wimpy shouldn ' t have any trouble being a success (ambi¬ tion) if he attacks his problems in the same pleasing manner he exhibited in school. He sang in the Glee Club for one year, scattered cheer for two years in the Sunshine Club,, was in the Student Council for a year, and filled in with three years of football (two majors) and one of basketball. Bill was also vice-president of the Senior Class and repre¬ sented us in the Lowellian Contest for three years, ' 37 as most popular, 38 and ' 39 as best looking and those honors weren ' t just sentimental either. !rt A V i E In !i H IE IV IE L K II N 0 ■°l IM1 r 11 A N jo ' a k Harold Lappie Black wavy hair, dark flashing eyes, caused the dreams of damsels to soar to the skies, But his straightforward ways and his distaste for the yellows Have made him a favorite for life, with the fellows.

Verle Little Farming is his hobby But he ' s mighty smooth in track. Basketball and football, For all, he has a knack. Verle was an active member of the Ag Club all four years and held the office of president in ' 41. However., his flashy conquests have been in sports: a member of the basketball squad in ' 37 and ' 38, the football squad all four years (major letter in ' 39, 40, and 41) and the track team in ' 39, ' 40 and ' 41 (three majors). During the cross country season he served as captain for two years. We can ' t forget that he was on Honorable Mention for one year, but that he considers studying his weakness and English his pet peeve. Dorot a Mae Love Lovey wants to be a nurse ffo doubt patients could do worse For something pleasing to the eye Seems to help some their tears to dry. We do hope Lovey ' s career doesn ' t limit her collection of signs (hobby) to the iiet Please type. She was a mem¬ ber of the Band all four years. Press Club for one. Science Club for two, Latin Club for two, and the G.A.A. for three years. Add to this a part in the Junior play, two years on Student Council, revised Honorable Mention for four years and you have the sum of a very successful high school career. Marjorie Lucftene Marjorie has gorgeous red hair Mow add to that ambition rare! For she has the novel idea of starting a freak circus. Perhaps her favorite subject, speech, will come in handy for advertisement! Freckles considers economics her pet peeve but thoroughly enjoys collecting pictures of movie stars and maybe those brown eyes she mentions are a weakness.

Do Do Reen likes English and whipped cream, hates catty remarks, and hopes some day to milk a cow. She was a member of the Sunshine Club for one year and received Honorable Mention rating for two years. George Markstronj George hates to give Oral reports — And paper hankies Get him out of sorts. This might give you rather a glum idea of Markie but that ' s far from true. He has one of the nicest smiles in school and displays it, too. George was on the football squad for one year, made Honorable Mention for one year, and Distinguished Student for one year.

He was a mem¬ ber of the Sunshine Club one year, on the basketball squad for two years, and played real football for three years. George ' s ambition is to be a raw-horse trainer.

How¬ ard also had a year of Band, three years in the Science Club, three in the Glee Club, and two years on both the football and basketball squad. As the hen-pecked husband in our Jun¬ ior Play, he practically stole the show. Howard can ' t make up his mind whether to be a school teacher or a mortician (undertaker, in case you ' re wondering). Qren Moyer I am fond of the company of ladies, I like their beauty. I like their vivacity, And (occasionally) I like their silence. Bert doesn ' t intend on telling hin ambition, but he did confess that he likes to ride hordes, considers roller skat¬ ing his weakness, and lists mechanical drawing as his pet peeve.

Science Club for two, Latin Club two years, Lowellian Staff for four years (photography). Student Council for one year, a thespian in the Junior Play, and on the basketball squad for two years. Earl had his share of extra honors too: he received a Science Club Award in ' 40, Distinguished Student for one year. Honorable Mention for three, and represented the Freshman boys as best-looking in the Lowellian Contest. He is the only licensed Amateur Radio Ham in the vicinity and plans to expand his knowledge by becoming an Electrical and Radio Engineer. Harriett Peterson She was ever fair and never proud.

Bud isn ' t the type to draw attention to himself by personal advertisement but he ' s right in there just the same. He rates shorthand as his favorite subject and plans to be a great farmer.

Johnny is rather bashful and spent a great deal of his time retiring behind his drum, but he did come out for three years of Glee Club, and one year in the School Orchestra.

We ' ll not quote his favorite expression, but he does have the unique ambition of being ambitious. Nothing succeeds like success, Herbert. Harriett Robinson Short Little turned u-p nose, She wasn ' t one to hold a pose. But she said and did as she thought was best. And faced all problems with a merry jest. Robbie was a familiar figure in the Sand and in girls athletics, a trombonist all four years and in G.A.A. for three; she showed outstanding ability in both.

Faye Tyler Always resourceful , smiling and gay, Add them all up and you have Faye. Faye Junie made a remarkable record for herself during her four years of High School. She was a member of the press Club (four years), Lowellian Staff (three years), and assoc¬ iate editor on the Lowellette Staff (one year). During her four years as a loyal Band member (secretary-treasurer in •41), and one year in the Orchestra, it is amazing to say that she has developed a weakness for Band and a special likeness for her pet peeve—her clarinet. Faye ' s favorite subject, English, helped her greatly in the Student Council (one year) and was influential in her winning the Legion Oratorical Contest ( 2 nd prize) though she didn ' t find it too helpful during her two years in the Latin Club. Faye was also in the Science Club (two years), a member of the G.A.A. (two years) and a member of the Junior Play stage crew. Ex¬ tra curricular activities didn ' t interfere with her classes, for Faye was Distinguished for four years. Her popularity was proved when she was chosen for three years as the most likely to succeed in the Lowellian Contest and received the Honor Society Awards for three years.

Miss Arnold and Mr. Wernz. During the first month, while we were getting used to algebra, we were also busy doing other things such as electing the class big-shots: James Van Deursen, biggest; Howard Mourer, bigger; and Bettey Conley, big. Faye Tyler and Bill Alger got the nod to represent the class in che Stu¬ dent Council while Harriett Peterson and George Meadows were chosen to spread their own brand of cheer in the newly formed Sunshine Club. Van Deursen and Mourer presented some stiff competition to the upperclassmen in basketball and football. The girls, under the leadership of Margie Wehle, Audrey Alger, Betty Wineland, and Dorothy Keithley were rolling up points in the Girls Athletic Association. But even as Freshmen we had our literary side. Many of our members were either Distinguished or Honorable Mention students. Many more of them were listed on the rosters of the various clubs and school organizations. At the end of our first year when the outstanding stu¬ dents were given special awards, we could hold our heads up proudly for Harriett Peterson and Herbert Rawlings received the Freshman Literary Awards. The classmates chosen to rep¬ resent us in the Lowellian Contest were: Earl Pace and Bonnie Guettner, best looking; James Hunt and Faye Tyler, most 1ikely to succeed; James Van Deursen and Betty Wineland, best athletes; and Bill Langen and Marjorie Wehle, most pop¬ ular. Faye Tyler, Harriett Peterson, and Jewell Bailey had the highest number of Honor Points at the end of the first year. At this time, having become used to algebra and Mr. Wernz, we were given a three month vacation which began with a traditional picnic at the Castle Brook Golf Course. This is the forest primeval.

Jane Seals and Jim Van Deursen whispered sage advice in the Student Council; Dorothy Krumm and Bill.Langen smiled sweetly in the Sunshine Club. Harold Lappie, Richard Hiland and Jim Van Deursen led the boys in sports while Margie Wehle gained special merit from the G.A.A. for her leadership in the girls sports. During this year we choose as our troop colors navy blue and gold, which were combined to form the best looking class sweaters in the school history. Special honors were bestowed on Her¬ bert Rawlings and Mary Jane Callahan when they captured thee Sophomore Literary Awards. Herbert also represented the class in the pilgrimage to the state capitol, sponsored by the local Woman ' s Club and the D.A.R. Our corepresentatives in the Lowellian Contest were: Harold Lappie and Marjorie Wehle, most popular; Veronica Guettner and Bill Langen, best looking; James Van Deursen and Dorothy Keithley, best athle¬ tes; and James Hunt and Faye Tyler, most likely to succeed. On Honor Day at the end of the year, William O ' Brien, James Hunt, and Herbert Rawlings won the D.A.R. History Awards and the Honor Society winners were Herbert Rawlings, Faye Tyler, and Harriett Peterson. All together, our Sophomore year was a very pleasant one. We spent our last few hours as a class fun-making at Algrims Park in Shelby. Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak Septem¬ ber, and each dying ember became a grinning Junior. Uncanny, isn ' t it? Only 99 students lasted through that hot summer to enter their busy third year. Their first big business was the important election of the class officers: Howard Mourer, president; Faye Tyler, vice-president; and Mary Jane Calla¬ han, secretary-treasurer. Other elections were: Richard Hiland and Betty Black, Student Council; Bill Langen and Doreen Marks, Sunshine Club. Our first outstanding feat as a class was the Junior Play, presented November 10. The play, This Is The Life. was a resounding success for the direct- _V mi LOWELLIAN- - ' - —- —- ] T Hi I H A Iv E L I T T H E W E l K N 0 0 Im IE iB ,0 R |N I I N H E A r IT JZ. 19U1 LOWELL I AH U — .Tl3-ZL-3L tor, Miss Landgrebe, as well as all the cast. By this timej Jim Van Deursen, Harold Lappiej Bill Lang- eiij and Vernon Childress had become pillars in the fast mov¬ ing varsity football squad. In girls sports., Margie Wehle, Dorothy Keithley, Inell Duncan, Lucille Hooley, and Betty Childers were rewarded for their work in ping-pong, basket¬ ball, track, and other sports. This year when the Lowelliaan Contest was sponsored again, Audrey Alger and Jim Van Deursen were named the best athletes; Alice Barton and Bill Langen, best looking; Carolynn Behmlander and Harold Lappie, most popular; Faye Tyler and William O ' Brien were the ones chosen as most likely to succeed. Herbert Rawlings made us all feel quite proud when he gained fame for himself and Lowell by winning the District Second Year Latin Contest. James Hunt merited a silver pin from the Science Club for outstanding science work. He also received copper and bronze pins from the Club during his Freshman and Sophomore years. Again Harriett Peterson, Faye Tyler, and Herbert Rawlings led the class in the total number of Honor Points. Distinguished students among the Juniors were: H. Rawlings, W. O ' Brien, F. Tyler, M. Wehle, J. Hunt, H. Peterson, H. Robinson, J. Bailey, D. Marks, J. Seals, B. Black, M. Kalvaitis, D. Krumm, and E. Pace. In the Band, the Juniors held solo positions in the clarinet, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and drum sec¬ tions. Ever since the Class of ' 41 began its career, the members have taken active parts in the school life and by joining the various clubs and organizations. The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom which took place in Candyland—at least it was Candyland until the people dis¬ covered that the decorations weren ' t permanent. The finis, a contrast to the gayness of our school year, was a soggy picnic held in the over-saturated atmosphere a- long the windy waterfront of Michigan City. There is no poetry to begin our last year of high school —rather, we could greet the underclassmen with only a more serious salutation: Hi ' ya, shorty. These serious thoughts are inspired by the hectic summer through which we have just passed. It was a scene in history that left the United States the only strong democracy in the world. n I m — a 19ttl LOWELL I AN m ;e is! in A « S A N D ! p s El ☆ i B I Y i A IN G E L H I 4 N 0 S T 0 V A L 0 R 3ZEE3EEI2; 1941 LOWEILIAN - .Vi — V So, to lead our class in its biggest, most important year, we elected William (better known as Big Bill ) O ' Brien, president; Bill Langen, vice-president; and Mary Jane Calla¬ han, secretary-treasurer. Our aides-de-camp in the Stu¬ dent Council were Betty Black and Richard Hiland. Dorothy Krumm and Bill Langen acted officially for the Seniors in the Sunshine Club. When we received our Class rings during the first month of school, we were feeling the full importance of our Senior rank, but were quite deflated when, about a month later, we received a hair-curling defeat from the Jun¬ iors in a mock presidential election for the school. In November, 1940 Mr. Blankenburg braved the dangers of insanity to take the Senior pictures. We shall never know how close he came to losing his mental balance, though, when he finally finished his grim task, he did say we were com¬ paratively nice. With the sponsorship of Mr. Neimann, the boys in the class undertook a novel form of self-government under the rule of Mayor Van Deursen and his aids. The neg¬ ative and positive results from the experiment have been listed as experience . The Senior Class made a name for itself in the athletic records. The girls, as well as the boys, won places on the teams and won Honor points for their work. Jim Van Deursen, Harold Lappie, Bill Langen, Vernon Childress, Bill O ' Brien, Verle Little, and James Windbiggler were conspicuous in the school ' s razzle-dazzle football team. Vernon Childress, apple of the school ' s eye, led the Little Five Conference in points scored. Special awards were made at the end of the year to the outstanding athletes. But while the boys had been busy building up their muscles and gaining fame for themselves, the girls had been doing the same. Margie Wehle, Audrey Alger, Dorothy Keithley, Betty Wineland, Betty Childers, and Harriett Robinson were repre¬ senting the girls well in sports. We will all remember our last year of school with its many added activities, one of which was the lovely Prom presented for us by the Juniors in the spring of i94i. We, the present high school Seniors, but the future Freshmen in the School of Life, realize that democracy and our own happiness depend on our actions, so, as we take our places in the World classroom, we shall endeavor to make all our work constructive and beneficial. IT 33 :zl -1941 LOWELL I AN-W- U - •ft —ft -— ft--Tm lc wellun -- ft — ft - 7 - Senior Dictionary V One sunny day in May, when the final exams were all over., the Seniors decided to take a short trip through the Hiland in order to recuperate from the worry connected with our graduation. So we all piled into our Little Luchene and were soon happily on our way. We didn ' t notice the miles roll by because all of us Childers were having so much fun. But soon someone noticed that we were coming into some c-Alm Berg that was Langen on the outskirts of the Meadows. T H t s T I A :R It was a quiet place. Big Holly plants were growing in the marshy places and there were Rob ms-on the branches of the trees. A pleasant little Vietbroc k ran through the fields. In the field we noticed a man Hunt-inq q-Rouse. He would Pace up and down the grounds,, but left in a hurry when he saw a forest Granger coming. Closer to the town we saw many busy people working around their homes. One of the fellows was Vehle- ing a Moyer around the lawn cutting the grass while another was raking the leaves. Eber-n-t the leaves in LaBonte fire. These men were working very hard so we decided to stop and talk with them for a while to give them a little rest. The leaves one fellow had raked were enough to fill a Bail — ey could hardly see over all of them. We asked the Mourer how he liked cutting up and he said., Well., I ' m not in Love with my job but the people have Faith in me so I feel that it is my Doty to do the work. We were about to leave these men when we saw a Schwanke dressed fellow approaching. His face was badly scratched. He explained the Marks on his face, saying, The Kaetzer running around here like wild; these are Markstrom their claws. They are sharp as Cleaver- s. Some day I am Gmter give those cats a good Duncan in the Fisher pond. When he said he had to go to work in his Vineland, we again started on our way to see what we could see. Since this was such a nice part of town, we decided to park the car and walk for a while. On the sidewalk we passed some Childress who were Collins toother Childers to come and play with them. They Hooley-e d so loud that we could hardly —- ft ft — 1 ftT 71 — iowel um —ft r ft .. ' ' w 1 £ ill K; I • A N jo Ifi IL i |T ! ! � i i H lU l |w it j: Ib i® R N n □ n H ! E !

A E large limb was broken off one of the trees and was lying on J! F the ground. Some of the boys made Diekers-on how the Brum- V i ? baugh had been broken from the tree. Lightening struck it, E E said one bright boy. One Vo lt mer-ly hit me once—and once H would have been enough! i E A Everyone Lappte-d this up and thought it was a good con- T, ft elusion—even better than some of the conclusions they had H T S reached when they studied Alger-Broe in high school. E! H But soon AL-ger kids were complaining of being hungry. w f 0 Everyone was shouting., When do we eat? When we found a ll F E shady place under the trees, we ate our lunch of Edmonds-on K] 1 the grass. There seemed to be only one thing wrong with the Ml 4 N lunch; that was the water. The girls said that it tasted 0 like O’Brien from pickles. At least it didn ' t taste a bit 0 H like Lowell water! M E o M We were about finished sith our lunch when a poor man E came up to us and said, Huse-a-man? If you are, then give A ! me a Krumm of your food. We were glad to be able to share K our lunch with him. When we offered him more he politely ! said, No, thank you. Gust-af-son already. A] L B After this episode, we started down the street again. Ll Y We hadn ' t gone far when someone said it would be nice if our T A other sc hoolmates could be with us. So, just to prove that H Y! i? we hadn ' t forgotten our friends back in Lowell, we went up- G |E town to a Steuer where Al-bert-son Seals so that we could H j u L mail cards telling how much we were enjoying our trip. Of E H course, it wasn ' t like going to the Kasparian Sea, but it s u s was still fun anyway. E When A1 paid the clerk a Schilling for the stamps, the R ! S clerk could tell that he was Crompt-on paying his bills so E T o he said, Thank you, and Callahan. B While we were in the store, most of the boys had gone V A to see a large building that was being constructed. We walked H L over to the construction job to meet the boys. When we met ' 1 0 R them, Keit h-ley looked rather pale. When we asked him if 1 anything was wrong, he said, As I was going into the new G 1 V f building, a loose Behm-lander right on my head. It was like Kr E P -1 M iy« l LOWLLLIAN K ' ' S G 0 Fj T h: e| i! s| a A fi, T| S H 0 ' p; Ej A: N 10 hI 1 0 IM E — 2 — £T- i 94i LcwEiuAN - ■ — • t - r ?T-1 r l M I c Vt a Bar-ton it must have weighed. When it hit me I could see Broun spots in front of my eyes. I was ready for the Graves a but after I put a Rag-on my head I felt better. The girls kidded him saying., When you get home, your mother will Pet-e r-son and then the S ' J or-en-c ik will feel better. When we heard that story none of us wanted to go into the building but were even more certain of our decision when we saw a big Kurrack in the outside wall and little Schafer-s of wood on the floor. Still we were anxious Ty-Ler- n how the Smith was going to fix the crack. ' A : V |E L I 1 While we were standing outside the building the wind had started to blow and it began to get dark. When a Wind- bigler than the last one blew past., we all agreed it was time to start back to Lowell. We had promised to be home Van- | Deur-sen set. We were soon back at the car and it didn ' t take us long to get started Black home. We had Bales of fun b e-Kuntz we were singing Carroll- s about old MacDonald ' s farm and just generally having a Jonas of a time. As we passed an old man and lady on the road, we could hear the lady say to the man, Kal-vai-t s dey making all day noise? Dey must be Sark, raving mad. This may have been the truth., but when we heard it we thought it was funny and just laughed and kept Raul mgs down the road toward home.

After much dis¬ cussion it was decided that the item most needed by all the school was a good public address system; consequentlyj this was chosen to be the gift to the school by the Class of ' 41 . The public address system that was purchased is equipped to use four microphones with a mixer control for each, two phonograph tops likewise with individual mixer control., and a master volume control that regulates all six. Variation in pitch is obtained by the use of the bass and treble con¬ trols. Along with this 60 watt loudspeaker, and a phono¬ graph top which taken collectively fully complete the public address system. It is hoped, through the use of this equipment, that the programs in the gymnasium will be made more enjoyable for the classes to come through the improved hearing facili¬ ties.

Old man hunger., getting the best of themj they decided not to wait for the honored guestj Miss McKenzie., who was to leave her New York penthouse and fashionable finishing school for young ladies to come to the reunion of the class she had sponsored ten long years ago. H E A R T S H 0 P E A N D H 0 M E I S V A N G E L H A N 0 s T 0 V A L 0 R G I V E Lunch over, the former L.H.S. students naturally migrat¬ ed into their old school day groups and cliques, and started discussing old times. At this moment a cloud of dust could be seen far down the road and in a few minutes Miss McKenzie was leisurely climbing out of her limousine., helped by John Kurrackj her chauffeur. Soon the noise and grand rush., brought on by her arrival., died down and the students went back to their groups. Miss McKenzie ' s attention was drawn to a small crowd gathering a few yards away and walked toward it. But from here on we shall let her tell the story. I recognized Mary Jane Callahan standing on a box mark¬ ed so X soa. ' p-CALLAHAN YOU YUBUIBUXT . The presidential nominee was gestulating wildly and shouting at the top of her voice. Miss Callahan was nominated for the presidency by a woman ' s national organization entitled The Protection of Gable., Taylor., and Power Club . After listening to Mary ' s heated views on the cruelty to Hollywood ' s Handsomes, I decided to find a quiet spot to ease my tired ears. This idea didn ' t last very long, because as I rounded a clump of bushes, operatic strains came to my ears and the source proved to be Martha Gene Edmondson accompanied by Jewell Bailey on her toy piano. Rumor has it that this couple is trying to break into opera on the basis of their exper¬ ience ?n the Kiddies ' Kapers radio show where Miss Edmond¬ son recites nursery rhymes with Miss Bailey furnishing the musical background. A frequent guest on the show is Miss Betty Black whose fairy stories delight kiddies the country over. Betty recently published a book named LXsXen, CUX X- ren. omA l BWXX TeVX XUe.

I moved on and came to a very familiar-looking group. ft ft I -- -TT 111 - i2 - M1 COWELLIAN ft - - - ft - 1 m H E S T A R S H A V E I | TI T H E W E 1 K I N D 0 M E A N 0 A L L T H Y H U E S W E R E b| 0 R N I N H E A V E N rri F i i H f 4 l rl LQWtLLI AH 3 -4 L A G H i A The girls were giggling and cutting up as usual, while S T F their escorts looked on with resignation.

T R T Now she is starting a comic strip called Su pervacmanA Billy ' s H i s greatest trouble so far has been that someone has always had H the idea first. w £ 0 p I turned to Harriett Robinson, then, for she looked L K £ rather down-hearted, and lacked her usual high spirits. 1 A What ' s the matter, Robbie? Hasn ' t the world been treat- - N D ing you right? D 0 H Oh, yes, she replied, I have a very prosperous bus- M E 0 iness. Yes, indeed! E What is it, Harriett? I asked. A From some unseen person came the mirthful shout, Lone- 0 ly Heart ' s Bureau. Turning to see who had said it, I dis— a! covered Howard Mourer under a newspaper, just waking from his L 9 daily after-lunch-nap . He is just an old married man, and L; Y his wife, the former Miss Peterson, supports him now. Petey- t! A belle gives piano lessons to all the students of Southeastern M Y N University.

He has appointed himself s A coach. The school is very popular because Vern hasn ' t gotten w 0 around to appointing any other teachers yeti s Why, Faye! I didn ' t see you. But you always were such E 1 T a little thing, anyway, I said on seeing Miss Tyler, sitting 8 | 0 on a tree stump, correcting the proof of Bi 1 ly ' s wpervaonvan, . i V She had graduated from my school in the East six years be- N | A i fore, and was applying for the position of English and Speec I i 0 a teacher in Coach Childress ' University.

I later T A found out Audrey spends her working hours setting up pins in R T H a bowling alley. s E My 3pinal cord began to tingle, so I rounded a corner N A F to find out where such nerve-racking discord could be coming V R r from. There scood Lappie, Langen, and Schafer with their E E heads together, but their voices anything but unified. I l H meekly stepped forward and tapped Frank on the shoulder. 1 T E asked them what they were doing, and Wimp Langen said. T A R “We are opening our new place of business tonight—and H T s we are the Bar-Tender ' s Trio. Have to practice up a bit. c though, or it won ' t go over so well, I don ' t suppose. Don ' t w H 0 you think so? t P £ Heartily agreeing, I left them to continue their much- ! needed practice. I then met Robert Kuntz going back to join N A N the boys. He said he played their accompaniment. He had D 0 bribed them into using his new type of pretzle in their bar. 0 H He wouldn ' t explain it to me, though, because it hadn ' t been M £ 0 patented yet and he was afraid spies might be lurking about M £ to steal his idea! With this he sneaked away, and in a mist A i of amazement, I left. N D Sitting down for a moment to rest my weary bones, a swarm of girls swooped down upon me and, much to m y amaze- L ment, they all wanted my autograph. I recognized a red- l B Y dowager as Vera McDonald, and to her right and left were T Bernice Kenning and Evelyn Huseman, carrying her pet poodle H y A N and lunch basket. It seems Vera is now a lady of leisure. G The alimony she received from Delmer Jonas, her former hus- E L band and the famous explorer, keeps her well in luxury. Her E former classmates are her private-secretary and personal- S H A maid, respectively. w N 0 Some more of the autograph hunters were Esther Schwanke, t. R S the well-known artist, who made her fortune for herself and E T her model, Juanita Schilling, sketching the latter ' s hands B 0 for advertising YLawA jO Aow.. 0 R V They finally left me, and I heard a cheer go up, We N A L want ' Kenzie, We want ' Kenzie. The yell was led by Margie 1 0 Wehle, the yell-leader at Notre Dame. Behind her, helping N R to support the yell were Betty Childers, Jayne Seals, Inell H G 1 V F Duncan, and Monica Kalvaitis.

Betty raises guinea pigs and ratSj Jayne is the nurse to Betty ' s pigs and rats. Inell Duncan., who failed in organizing a navy for women, is now on the road to success in organizing a girl ' s Southwest Mounted Police. Monica, always the quiet sort., is bass-fiddler in the new, improved Sunrise Serenaders. The girls told me about Harold Wietbrock, Lester Steuer, Jim Windbigler, and Robert Potter, who are famous soil-less farmers. Their work is so delicate that they couldn ' t come, but they send their greetings to their former classmates. H 0 A ' N |° i H E I 8 Y A N G E L I thought lunch was over until I passed the table, and there sat George Meadows munching his latest concoction, ' KTu.m.ch. K A ve—t-o .h.e , a cereal becoming very popular with children. George invited me to try a dish and as I sat talking to him, Johnny Ragon approached me with his high pressure salesmanship in a futile attempt to sell me a Studebaker. He is a half-partner in the Graves Auto Supply Company through his marriage to Ruby Graves. Dorothy Albertson brought around a sample of her talk¬ ing doll which says, Mommy, I want another Salerno Butter Cookie, please. She, howevdr, informed me that business has fallen down since the invention by Doris Doty of a simi¬ lar doll which says, Oh Mortimer! Don ' t forget the Thomas J. Webb Coffee! At my left, a heated argument came to my ears over the question whether or not motor scoots would replace roller skates in American transportation. George Markstrom, King of the Roller Skates, and Henry Voltmer, amotor-scoot sales¬ man, were each arguing very decisively for his own view. I could see they would never reach a satisfactory agreement, so I didn ' t stay to hear how it ended. Instead I moved on. A crowd had gathered around a large trailer, and I wan¬ dered over just in time to see Gertie Brumbaugh starting up husband Bill ' s band, the Hoon,v ,se Seren.o.d.evs. She had been leading them for quite a while now and with great success, since the boys forget to watch the music and thus give out with hotter swing. We finally persuaded Evelyn Cleaver, a dancing instructress, to give us an exhibition of the new —- 7941 LOWELLtAN ■ ' ■ ■ft- -- ft- Ft H E S T ■A IR in ' A L I 1 T H E — vfr-£? 19 U1 LOWELL I AN- - £T- 0 F T H E F R E E H E A R T S H 0 P E A N D H 0 M E I B V A N G E L H A N D S T 0 V A L 0 R G I V E N popular dance step she originated, the Hippopotamus Hop. It proved very interesting and soon several were trying it. All day it seemed as though I had been missing someone., finally I realized it must be Jim Van Deursan, who hadn ' t been around. I asked some of the boys where he was hiding himself. They said he wasn ' t here, because he is a success¬ ful mechanical engineer and couldn ' t leave his responsibili¬ ties. Now I could understand why so many of the girls had looked down-hearted and disappointed today I Over at the refreshment stand I met Esther Collins., who had invented golf balls which are allergic to water and sand trapSj talking to Faye Bales, a recent Sweepstakes winner, who says she owes her experience in picking the right number to the many G.A.A. raffles of her high school days. They were speaking of how terribly they missed Joyce La Bonte who has been made a Minister to Siberia. I sat down and joined them in a coke. The two noted authors, Tommie Berg and Her¬ bert Rawlings, came up to chat with us. Tommie ' s book is entitled Xo Overcome ' Bo.sV u.Vcv.ess, and Buzz wrote a very successful book on o a ,o Overcome Yovvaardwess. They both gave me an autographed copy, and I was again on my way. Standing by the city pump was Eleanor Brown, busy in- noculating eggs with Lowell water so they will be in good condition for use in the election campaign. But Eleanor said, I don ' t think it will be possible to fill the orders of both parties. They have ordered immense numbers. I don ' t know what I ' ll do! Leaving her to her worry and grief, I moved on, and soon met Robert Kaetzer. :« i R i s i H I A l L I T T H E Why, Bob, what ' s the matter with you? I asked. He was walking all bent over and leaning heavily on crutches. Oh, hello there! Nothing much is wrong, I just got back from Mayo Brothers ' Clinic. What was your trouble? I was being treated for a strange disease temporarily called ' swingitis ' . It ' s an illness resulting from hearing too much swing music. V Oh! That ' s too bad. I thought ifr- ' t-i - Or - lhuiiowE luAN - you had an orchestra. — vT — V? — ft — w E B 0 R N I N ffl LE ik..—.A 19N1 LOWELLI AN U 0 F T H E F R E E H E A R T S i H ' o l . In ■ D E22EEE3 Y I had to disband it when I went up to Mayo ' s. They all found another job right away though, so that ' s okay. To get thoroughly over his disease. Bob explained, the doctors told him he must bring about an entirely reversed condition in music, so now he is helping Johnnie Crompton, who is composing and rewriting operas. In the next group was Dorothy Keithley, the famous woman warden of Sing Sing. She told me one of her best behaved prisoners is Guy Smith. He was caught eating Mr. Neimann ' s goldfish so much (which ran the science department into the red). Sending him to Sing Sing was the only way they had of getting rid of him. Also in prison is Charles Carroll, who is charged with poisoning the public with his new product, Kraftee Cheese. I was curious about James Hunt, as he was so studious in school, and certainly must have had a brilliant career. So I asked Alfred Bros, who is trying to figure out why giraffes don ' t talk because he feels it will help him under¬ stand how to do nothing well. Alfred, witty as usual, said, Hunt the hermit down at - - - - Hello, hello, hello. This timely interruption came from Fondali Childers. I was truly glad to see her. She is the famous woman detective whose work was inspired by reading detective stories in study hall back in her high school days. With her was Aletha Fisher, who is very appropriately an air stewardess. I say appropriately because she always was going around with her head in the clouds. It was nice to see these girls but I was rather dis¬ appointed in not finding out about Hunt. For the rest of the day I couldn ' t discover more than that he is a hermit. His whereabouts is known only by the Shorties, and ,e A, Oren Moyer, absent as usual, had gone to Turkey and has a harem there. He has invited Bill O ' Brien to come over and see him, but Bill, spurned in love by Love has chosen the hermit life, too, and has gone back to his original saying, I got no time for women. Among the absent were Mary Svorencik and Hersilia Kas- T I H E ! I $ i s III : t! T IT l v IE ' Ll !

The leopard skin skirt she had in high school led Mary to this unusual occupation. Their competent guide is Verle Little., who got tired of city life and seeks seclusion and quiet in the jungle. Lucille Hooley and Ethelyn Granger., looking very well- groomed., came up and began telling me about their chain of beauty shops called Th.e fc ,(mouv 6h.oppes . They no doubt owe their success to the capable management of Virginia Gin- ter, their business manager. Louise Faith, the second Bea¬ trice Fairfax, is a regular customer there. Dick Hiland, voted the handsomest worker on W.P.A. was found leaning on the nearby pump handle. Said Dick, I have to stay in condition for my job. The Holly-Krumm dancing waltzed by, and I asked Marjorie Luchene, a professional golfer, who was standing next to me, what their latest picture was. She said she didn ' t know, as they make them so fast she couldn ' t keep up with them. Bob and Dorothy have long ago replaced Rogers and Astaire in the hearts of the American public. The last group contained George Gustafson and Doreen Marks. Doreen is head saleswoman in Goldblatt ' s basement, and George is floor walker there. They were very quick to tell me that Betty Vineland, the Babe Didrickson the second, buys all her athletic equipment from them personally. Con¬ fidentially, I don ' t know if they were bragging or complaining. The picnic was drawing to a close, so Charles Aim was elected president for the forthcoming ten years. Aiding him are Alice Barton, vice-presidentp and Hellen Sark, secretary treasurer of the club. I departed then, and as dusk fell upon the grounds, the class of ' 41, feeling tired but ten years younger, bade a last farewell to renewed acquaintances and started on their journeys to the four corners of the earth.

Miss Baughman and Mr. Seeright dubiously agreed to sponsor the group for one year. These Freshmen were especially politi¬ cal minded, because early in the year they elected their first big bosses: Marvin Fleener, president; Irene Horner, vice-president; and June Ebert, secretary-treasurer. Shir¬ ley Hepp and William Kennedy put across their opinions in the student council. The Class was well represented by its Lowellian con¬ testants who were: best looking, Ila Harper and Dick Ran¬ dolph; most popular, June Ebert and Seth McLellan; best ath¬ letes, Shirley Peterson and Albin Carlson; most likely to succeed, Nancy Lou Spindler and John Bardens. John Bardens and Seth McLellan received the Literary Awards on Honor Day, while Millard Hall, Shirley Peterson, and Nancy Spindler were presented the Honor Society Awards. When classes resumed in the fall, only 98 Sophomores returned. But these 98, under the leadership of Seth Mc¬ Lellan, president; John Bardens, vice-president, and Jean Little, secretary-treasurer, were as strong as their origi¬ nal 124. This year Patricia Petrie and Joe Carroll were the spokesmen in the Student Council. Miss McKenzie and Mr. Brentlinger were the class advisors. One important feature of the Sophomore regime was their choice of class colors—kelly green and white. Many stu¬ dents purchased distinctive sweaters in these colors while more patient classmates are waiting until their graduation when they will find these colors gracing their diplomas. Apparently the Sophomores had been developing their athletic talents while they were quiet Freshmen because in their following year, many promising athletes began to show up. Boys making major football letters were: Randolph, Peterson, Novak, Hayden, Clark and Brownell. Franklin Pet¬ erson was given special rating as a member of the All Star Little Five Conference Team. Albin Carlson and Millard Hall headed the varsity basketball team while the starting second ft ! H !E is it ' A IH i 3 !H ! A iy |e if it It |H |E w E L K I Li n V ft — a 1941 LOWELL I AS a — ! N !

It was also E s the end of another year. W H 0 When the class returned to school, it was more digni- E L f fied and sophisticated because it had reached the stage of K | t Juniors. With an equal rights for women movement in the N A class, June Ebert, Nancy Spindler and Alvina Schreiber be- n l N D came the class officers. John Bardens and Mildred Henn man— 0 H aged the affairs in the Student Council. M E 0 The class felt especially proud when its favorite son. M E Seth McLsllan, became president in a mock presidential elec- A 1 tion. A special pat on the back was given to Leo Novak who N o was chosen quarterback on the All Stars first team and to Tommy Bruckman who defeated 125 contestants in askeet shoot. A l Another accomplishment of the Junior Class was their L 8 Y Play, Ttve T .n, levo, in which many of their class members T participated. The proceeds from the Play and the Junior H Y H candy sales will be used to present a lovely May Prom. G E The students representing the Juniors in the Lowellian Con- n Mi L test this year are: June Ebert and Seth McLellan, most pop- E s H ular; Ann Ross and Jimmie Hayden, best looking; Shirley A Peterson and Kitchell Hayden, best athletes; Marjorie Chism w D and Norbert Rosenwinkel, most likely to succeed. R S The Juniors, ever since their Freshman days, have shown T their ability to maintain high grades even while taking an B 0 active part in school life. Each year many of them have R V A been named on the Distinguished and Honorable Mention Lists. K i With this past record and the ability centered in their 1 H R class, the Juniors may look forward to an adventurous Senior G year. H E 1 V E A Vi 1 E l N 1 - tir — -- miiowEiuAN- n —w — S?- 1 !±!

But there is an entirely dif¬ ferent story for the 121 boys and girls that entered Lowell High School a short time ago to form the Class of ' 44. These students had high hopes and plans that they executed very well in one year. Margaret Sirois was the first class president; Dick Hay¬ den and Forrest Felder ably assisted her in the other offi¬ cial duties. Esther Schreiber and Robert Ewer addressed the upperclassmen on their behalf in the Student Council. None of the Freshmen had difficulty in keeping these club memberships because of low grades for the Freshmen gen¬ erally had the largest number of Distinguished students. Those Distinguished thus far are: M. Albertson., R. Brown, M. Duplej B. Einspahr, R. Ewer, F. Felder, D. Ferrell, D. Hayden, C. McKinney, C. Ploetz, B. Pavek, R. Poppe, M. O ' Don¬ nell, E. Schreiber, M. Sirois, M. Turner, D. M. Worley. In a very short time i t was seen that the Freshmen would supply many of the athletes for Lowell in a year or two. Boys that show special promise in the sports division are Clyde Sark, Dick Hayden, Peter Wehle, and Leslie Lasky. The Freshman girls have learned the secret of success in athletics by keeping up with the boys and being able to match them; so while the boy3 were building up their muscles in football, the girls were doing the same by winning spec¬ ial points for sports activities, that admitted them to the G.A.A. membership. Georgia Corten, Marie and Rose Friday, Marie Govert, Betty Kingery, Gracebelle Lloyd, Rose Schafer, Margaret Sirois, and Phyllis Walker became members in their Freshman year. The Freshman liONaeWAan. contestants are: most popular, Margy Sirois and the Magallenese twins; best athletes. Rose Schafer and Clyde Sark; best looking, Jean Skureth and Paul Phebus; most likely to succeed, Marjorie Turner and Forrest Felder. The Freshmen feel now that the school is a part of them and that they are a part of it, so in future years, they should have much success if they will keep that idea in mind. _I ;t A Ir is H A V E t I T H E! |wi Ik i !

We, the future Seniors, now Sophomores have just successfully completed the greenhorn period that is better known as the freshie stage. When we glance back on these past years we remember many incidents that made high school for us—getting acquaintedj getting lessons, joining the clubs, and being distinguished. We had our joys and sorrows but always managed to come out on top. In review of our school life, we had Miss Baughman and Mr. Etchison as advisors during our Freshman year. Our student officdrs for our Freshman year were Tom Combs, pres¬ ident; Russell Olsen, vice-president; and Robert Cullen, secretary-t reasurer. Since we were Freshmen we had a lot of opinions about everything, even though, at times our humble opinions were disregarded. However, Alice Keithley and Robert Crisler were our Student Council representatives; they spoke well for us. Being a progressive group of students, our class had representatives in every club and activity in the school. The Freshmen were not lacking in athletes either, for Al¬ fred Carroll, Tom Combs, Bill Kingery, Wilbur Schwanke, Rob¬ ert Hathaway, George Stowell, Earle McGrow, Archie Huebsch, Russell Olson, Robert Cullen, James Kurrack, John Childers, Art Lehman, Homer Reeves, Lloyd Cunningham, Roy Larson, Paul Phebus, and Theo Black were letter men on the football and basketball squads. The girls also did their share in the sports department of the school for many of them became members of the G.A.A. Those initiated into the Club in their Freshman year were: Nanette Berg, Virginia Clark, June Cornell, Alice Echterling, Mary Howkinson, Alice Keithley, Hazel Lappie, Lenora Noman- son, Sally Ploetz, Ruth Robinson, Lorraine Stasaitis, and June Wehle, The Freshman Lowellian Contestants were: best looking, Kay Getrost and Robert Hathaway; most popular, June Wehle and William Kingery; best athlete, Sal ly Ploetz and Tom Combs; most likely to succeed, Mary Howkinson and James Cor- -V - ;T —- ft — wi iowELLtAT --- ft — - ft F L A G 0 F T H E F R E E H E A R T S H 0 P E A N D H 0 M E I B V A N G E l H A N 0 s T 0 V A l 0 R G I V E N I - ft - jt - ft - mi LOWELL I AN- - - Q .. ten. The three Freshmen winning the Honor Awards for having the most Honor Points were Robert Crisler, Nanette Berg, and Mary Ellen Howkinson. Freshmen always follow tradition and our class was no exception to the rule so we closed our first year with a class picnic at the Castlebrook Solf Course. It was a fine ending for a fine beginning year. In September of 1940 we proceeded in our climb up the stairs of education with most of our original 109 members. We elegted Mary Ellen Howkinson., president; Bill Kingery, vice-president; and Kay Getrost, secretary-t reasurer. Later., when Kay dropped out of school., Tom Combs replaced her. This year, Nanette Berg and Robert Crisler became our Student Council representatives. We felt that we were well represented by them. I H A V j E L M It !H M V E The same boys and girls that had been winning athletic honors last year were continuing to do so during our Sopho¬ more year. Several cvf the boys joined the track team and have been earning merits there also. Being youthful doesn ' t mean that you can ' t be intelli¬ gent for the number of Sophomores on the Distinguished list proves this. The students making distinguished, many of them five times out of six, were: Nanette Berg, Robert Crisler, Mary Ellen Howkinson, Earl McGraw, Virginia McVey, and Marilyn Parmely. Many of our members were musically inclined. These students, twelve to be exact, were in the Band: Patricia Ebert, Lenora Nomanson, Ruth Robinson, Patricia Sauer, Doris Schilling, Naomi Wheeler, Violet Wietbrock, John Carson, Rob¬ ert Crisler, Junior Fuller, Bob Surprise, and Donald Tremper. ID- 0 M 1 E | A j ■ N 0 ' a L i! T |H Y| H U E S In February we telected our Lowellian Contestants. They were: most popular.

With our sponsors. Miss Perry are planning a picnic to close the being, but will return in the fall the steps of education.

It is an honorary journalistic society founded to promote an interest in journalism and newspaper work. The Press Club members., in cooperat i on with the journal¬ ism students and Mr. Brent1inger, the instructor in journal¬ ism. and club sponsor, contribute material for the school paper, the LovseUette which is a bi-weekly publication., and the school yearbook, the ,a ae A, ,o.n,. Eligibility for posi¬ tions on the jO ae A,eAAe and ,o aeW,YCvc , staffs is determined largely upon the calibre and quantity of the work submitted for these publications. In 1940 the Press Club joined the Quill and Scroll Soc¬ iety which is a National Fraternity for furthering journal¬ istic interest. This membership entitled the Club to sub¬ scribe to the Quill and Scroll magazine, a bi-monthly edition of a literary nature. Any high school senior or junior has the privilege of becoming affiliated with the Quill and Scroll Society. Mem¬ berships in this society are presented in the form of awards to the six or seven outstanding journalists on Honor Day. The Press Club pays for part of each award. Selection de¬ termining the award winners is based on the amount of liter¬ ary material the students have contributed during the year. In continuation of a precedent inaugurated last year, an Honor Blanket will be presented on Honor Day to the outstand¬ ing Senior boy. Judges composed of Faculty and Press Club members will decide the winner on his scholastic ability, leadership, and interest in all school activities. Any student that maintains an A or B average in his studies and displays an active interest in Journalism is eli- gible to become a Press Club member. Members from all class¬ es are encouraged to join the Club in order to make it a more successful working unit. £ ft — - ft 19U1 LOWELL I AN n j L I T T H E ' w ‘ E L !

S ' t jo The i WeekA, made its first appearance on October 14, 1934 with Edwin VanNadaas editor and Mr. Smith, the govern¬ ment and English teacher, as the sponsor. The first semester was spent in much hard work in organizing the paper, but by the second semester the paper had become well founded and had seventeen active contributing members under the editorship of Harriet Wason. Mr. Ham ' s commercial classes did the mim¬ eographing. Marcia Shurte took over the helm—or perhaps it would be better to say—took over the printers ink, in 1935 with the assistance of Miss Scritchfield and Mr. Ham. As proof of the paper ' s excellence, the , was entered in the National Duplicated Paper Association Contest and was award¬ ed the rating of Superior Merit, the highest rating attain— able. In 1936, the paper ' s monicer, A keeVA, - was changed to ' ' iiOueUette and the paper became a bi-weekly publication. This did away with the necessity of students running into the office every Thursday shouting, Stop the presses! I have a feature! The unusually large staff of 38 members was headed by Paulette Eich, the editor. It was also during this year that the Lo fle Ae Ae was given the honor of having the N.D.P.A. use a page for their lAea. Book.. With Ruth Schutz as editor in 1937, and Miss Landgrebe and Mr. Ham sponsors, the ,ovae Afi Ae assumed a six page style; five pages were set up with three columns and the editorial page, two columns. A greater variety in print was made pos¬ sible with the purchase of new typewriters. This variation in the heads and bodies of stories presented a more attrac¬ tive paper. In 1938, under the editorship of Jean Ragon and the co¬ sponsorship of Mr. Brentlinger and Mr. Ham, the iiOueUeUe was continued much the same as it had been in past years. It provided the needed source of news for the students. v A L o I ft G I V F N In the year 1939, the AONaeVWVAe had two editors. Bon¬ nie Felder was the first semester editor. Mr. Brentlinger and Mr. Ham were the sponsors. In mi i-term the method of selecting the editor was changed from the selection by the ft —- ft — ft- 19 ui IQviE UUN - ft - ft — --— l SZEjdEEE jZ 1941 LOWELL I AM r.f B Y sponsors to election by members of the staff. An A or B average and membership in the Press Club were requirements for eligibility. Georgene Schutz was the first editor elected under the new ruling. In the fall of 1940j and again in the spring of 1941, James Hunt was elected editor of the iO ae , ,etA,e. Mr. Brent- 1inger and Mr. Ham were again the sponsors of the paper and much credit goes to Mr. Ham for the fine appearance of the paper. In this year the jO fleV ,et,t.e consisted of eight pages with one page given to editorials and the remainder of the pages divided among sports., news, and features. During the first semester of this year, in order to give the various students a better knowledge of the workings of the paper., a different group of four persons were chosen to serve as editors of the issue . During the latter part of the year, the regular staff members assumed their regular duties. Again this year the appearance of the paper has been greatly improved because of the addition of the Vari-Typer to the typewriting department. This electric composing unit permits the use of a great variety of type and has an auto¬ matic justifier to make right margins even. The policy of the iOvaeV ,et,t.e thus far has been: to en¬ courage more school spirit in all school activities; to in¬ form the students in an unbiased way, and present student opinions; and to further good sportsmanship.

The firsi. edition of the € yearbook was rather small., but in later years, with the work A F carefully planned and painstakingly undertaken, the book V R £ steadily improved until it is the annual that you see today. E The ,o aeV AaT . began in 1935 under the sponsorship of Mr. l 1 H Ham and Mr. Smith. The first student editor was Helen Dahl. T £ A This first edition was small but it was just the beginning r R of a greater book. In 19 36, when the ,o ae 3Aam. was again H T S published, it ' s editor was Bill Tatman. This book could have t been greatly improved with the aid of art work, but due to V t 0 the lack of equipment this was impossible. In the following L p year, 1937, an annual was published that was far superior to K L those of former years. This improvement was largely respon- N A sible to the addition of new equipment. This book was edited N D by Joann Geer. By this time, the VoueWAau had definitely U 0 become a part of the school and was destined to become impor- M H 0 tant to the students. In 1937 the editor was Marcia Keith- £ M ley, while the following year, 1938, saw Adelia Ewer as edit- t ! or. The 1939 annual received the superior rating of the N National Duplicated Paper Association. In 1940 another 0 annual was added to the former group under the editorship of A Mary Angela Eich. L L B This 1941 YiOvaeWAam, is the seventh annual published Y since its inauguration in 1935. It is a great improvement H A over former annuals, both in appearance and content. Not- Y G able differences have been made in the picture arrangements H F. and the writing of the Senior activities. This ,o aeY Acvc , is U L the first to have a picture on the cover and has the new t s H note-book type of binding. It contains a greater number of N pages than former annuals contained. E 0 s During 1941, Americanism and the future of our country R £ T were forcibly brought to mind through war and general unrest 0 in European countries. Because of these conditions, the 0 Class of ' 41 dedicated this annual to The Flag. The Flag R A motif carries this idea throughout the book. L 0 This annual contains the hard work of the people inter— 1 N R ested in it. Special credit is due Mr. Ham and Mr. Brent- G linger for their time and knov ledge spent in the organization H £ 1 V E - A I ft u 1 ft (■ ' ( 19 lL0WtLLt Alt 1 ...J ft — ft— ft l?ttl LWEILIAH ft -.- ft..-— W 0 F T H E F R E E H E A R T S H of this book. Mr. Ham had charge of the production and mimeographing of the annual, while Mr. Brentlinger supervised the writing and compiling of the material for the book. Miss Cook ' s fine art work helps enhance the annual as does Mr. Blankenburg ' s excellent photography. The typing and mimeographing was done by certain members of the advanced typewriting classes. Those students who de¬ serve special credit for their work in this department are: Betty Black, Harriett Robinson, Audrey Alger, and Jane Seals. All members of the staff are to be complimented for their willing work and their spirit of cooperation. They have been rewarded for their interest in their work by now having this annual as the finished product. 0 P E A N 0 H 0 M E ! B V A N G F.

Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder and worship. I tell the story of Love, the story of Hate, the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls ever the field of battle where men lie dying with me o n their lips. I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand near by. I call the wanderer heme, I rescue the soul from the depths I open the lips cf lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the living. One I serve as I serve all; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters cn rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of the wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels cn city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are by bro¬ thers; I am father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them, and they are of me.

The membership this year, which totals fifty-one persons, is the largest in number since its start. From its beginning until now the Band has undergone changes in instructors, music, appearance, and instruments. In 19J2 when the Band started its struggle for existence, Mr. Fant was the instructor. From that time on, after Mr. Fant left the Band, it has had capable leaders and at the present time it is under the very capable leadership of Mr. Jones. The Band ' s library has increased from a small variety of selections to many of the famous overtures and marches. The appearance of the Band was greatly improved when uni¬ forms were purchased in the spring of 1939. The new uni¬ forms are of military type while the old ones were made up of a cape and overseas cap. New instruments were also added since the start of the Band. The oboe, the bassoon, two new sousaphones, and new drums, that were just bought recently, are new instruments added to the Band. The parents of Band members saw that the band needed aid in getting ahead and so the Band Boosters Club was or¬ ganized. It was through the effort of this organization and the band that the new uniforms and instruments were pur¬ chased.

Harriett Peterson and Robert Surprise entered the solo contest which was held at Hobart, Indiana. Harriett Peter¬ son soloed on the piano and her selection was Fantasie Im¬ promptu by Chopin. Robert Surprise played a drum solo Downfall of Paris . V E L I 1 The Band, besides playing at basketball games and foot¬ ball games, plays for pep-sessions and different programs where music is needed for entertainment. The Band also plays for outside activities such as marching in the Labor Day Parade, and playing for different organizations for en¬ tertainment . The Band also presents two concerts during the school year. The Christmas Concert which is presented a week be¬ fore Christmas is usually very colorful. The Spring Concert is given usually before the Band goes to the district con¬ test. The Band introduces three selections that are to be played at the Contest. T H E !w: :e| ' U |K i ‘D ' 0 M IE At the Spring contest, the Band Boosters usually pre¬ sent a service stripe to each member of the band for the ; ' A | service that each member contributed throughout the year. !l The stripes are put on the left sleeve of each member ' s uni¬ form coat. The stripes also undicate how long that each member has been in the band. Y When the new addition is built on to the present build¬ ing, the Band department will occupy the middle floor. There will be a room for the whole ensemble to play and six individual practice fooms. There is to be an instrument room and a uniform room. The instructor is also to have an office for himself. The present Band Room is not nearly large enough for the bahd and its equipment and the addi¬ tional room for rehearsals, the practice rooms, space for storage of music and uniforms will be greatly appreciated. The personnel of the band this year is as follows: six¬ teen clarinets, eleven trumpets, four trombones, five saxo¬ phones, five drums, three horns, two baritones, two sousa- phones, one oboe, one bassoon, and one flute.

Since its origin, the Glee Club has had a steadily in¬ creasing membership. This year the enrollment ©f the organ¬ ization has reached its peak; there are now fifty members under the leadership of Mr. Jones, sponsor and director. The Andante Club is a division of the Glee Club, consist¬ ing primarily of Freshman girls interested in singing. Its thirty members meet during the sixth period for practice. The Andante Club and Mixed Chorus form the Glee Club. Musical selections and songs for auditorium programs are furnished by the Glee Club with the aid of the Band. The singers presented a patriotic Armistice Day program. An interesting feature of the Christmas holidays was the Christ¬ mas Concert also presented by the Club. The concert includ¬ ed a colorful Candle-light Procession and the singing of appropriate songs. The last important program conducted by the Glee Club was the Spring Concert. Operatic numbers and spring and summer songs were featured in the concert. The Glee Club has proved its worth to the school both as an educational and recreational activity. Membership in the club is entirely voluntary. The present enrollment shows the interest the students have in music. The Glee Club will endeavor to keep this interest from flagging. As a major project this year, the club introduced the new part to the school song. The Glee Club members also sing songs accompanied by the Band. With the cooperation of the members, Mr. Jones, the director, plans to introduce much more of this type of music to the school.

The D Vst. S , i6.ct A.s have proved their mental powers by attaining high grades. Surveys of people above the average intelligence show that they are more successful than people of lower mentality. Although all the U ,s , ,n,- SVuAe.Y A,s are not geniuses, they are learning to con¬ centrate and coordinate their thoughts while they study.

This increase is probably due to the increased importance science is playing in our daily lives. The field of science has many branches. The possi¬ bilities for progress in these many fields are opened to the alert student in the Science Club. In 1935 the Science Club became a member of the state science organi zat ion., the Junior Academy of Science. This membership enables the Club members to present., at the State Academy of Science., scientific projects that they have com¬ pleted themselves during the year. The members will receive special awards if their projects are deserving. Each year representatives of the Lowell branch of the Junior Academy of Science send projects to the exhibit or has Club members there to represent them. These represen¬ tatives address the Science Club on the various projects that other schools had displayed. This exchange of ideas benefits the students greatly. The Junior Academy of Science membership that Lowell High School holds also permits the Lowell Science Club to present Junior Academy of Science pins each year on Honor Dayj to the four outstanding members of the Club. The selec¬ tions are made by the Club with the approval of the sponsor. Invitations are sent at the beginning of the yearj to students who can fulfill the requirements for entrance to the Club. Any student wishing to become a member must., according to the Club constitut ion, have completed two years of science or be taking a science course during the current year. He must also maintain a B average in his studies. In this way the club promotes its chief purpose., the promotion of stu¬ dent interest in science. This year the Science Club., unde the supervision of the science teacher., Mr. Neimann., boasts of sixty active members. This is the largest enrollment in the club ' s history. - ft- - - im L0WEL UAN - 1- ft — ' ft - L T T j H e! V Ei l K : i 1 1 Ini 0 ( to Im ! E |T| ; H | H ! u E S l in ■E |r |N ! N i fi yi i .

At each meeting, reports, discussions, or experiments were conducted by the members. In this way all may take part in the program to make it more interesting. During this past year some of the programs presented were: The Science of Cosmeticology; Element Identification by Flame Test; Uses of the Spectroscope; Demonstrations on Arc Solder¬ ing; and Home-made Electric Fence Controller. At Open House this year, the Club had various demon¬ strations and projects on display. The projects featured represented all divisions of science. Demonstrations in biology, zoology, chemistry and physics. These had all been constructed by the club members during the year. Extra credit is awarded for them. It is a well known fact that we profit from the exper¬ ience of others. So, taking this statement literally, the Science Club makes use of its privilege of visiting a scien¬ tific establishment at two times during the year. In this way the students can see at first hand, the new ideas that inventors have built into working machines. It shows them science in the making. For its annual trip this year, the Science Club visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago where they spent the day. Each year the Club selects a guest speaker to address the club members on some subject current to scientific inter¬ est. This year the speaker presented a very interesting report on the subject, The Story of Gasoline. It was pre¬ sented in the form of a sound-motion picture and was enjoyed by all members. The Science Club is proud that it was able this year to complete the synchronized clock system in the science depart¬ ment. Clocks were placed in both the laboratory and lecture room. The purchase of the clocks was made possible through the sale of magazine subscriptions by the club members. The donation of the clocks and gift plaque accompanying them, constitute the gift of the Science Club to the school this year. ; hi ■El IS ' S ! H ! i V IE ! w I ! K 11 ! ‘o 0 M E I a!

The aims of the Club are; instruction in the arts of scientific farming, finding ways for bettering rural life, and in general, making the farm a better and more profitable place on which to live. R S H A V E L I T T All boys participating in Vocational Agriculture are ineligible to membership in the Ag Club. Prom the memberss of the Club, the various members of the Club judging and demonstration teams are chosen. During the past year, both teams and individuals have won notable awards and distinction in numerous events for which they were presented with numerous awards. In the fall of 1940, a team composed of four boys, Leopold Kalvaitis, William Herlitz, Norbert Huseman, and Verle Little placed second in the Indiana Muck Crops Show at Garrett, Indiana. Several other teams were chosen and a few of the con- testx in which they participated were the judging of dairy cattle, beef cattle, 4-H Club projects and corn. At the annual corn husking contest, Milton Scheidt won first in the local match. Verle Little, John Bailey, and a Crown Point boy were the livestock judging champions at the county fair. Each year the Ag Club members make several interesting and educational tours. This year the Club visited the Pure Bred Livestock Sales, Farm Bureau Fertilizer Plant, Board of Trade, Field Museum, International Livestock Show and the Union Stock Yards at Chicago. Every year the Club sponsors a pest killing contest which has done much to eradicate the animals which are troublesome to the farmer. This year the K« Hayden team defeated the Bill O ' Brien team. The winners had a grand total of 8055 points. I W t ' I !

Because the two clubs did so much work to¬ gether., they were united in 1934 under one name: eft. Pepper C mA . In 1941, under the sponsorship of Miss McKenzie, with- the intention of bettering the club, the girls joined the Girls ' Athletic Association. The G.A.A. is a national organ¬ ization formed with the intention of creating a place for girls in the athletic field and to improve sportsmanship. Under the point system, a girl must secure 300 points before she will be accepted as a member of the Club. Points are awarded to girls who participate in the intramural sports conducted during the noon hour. Additional points are merited by girls who become members of teams, winners of tournaments or captains on the various teams. Any G.A.A. member that gets a total of 1500 points, receives a chenille letter. Girls achieving a total of 1900 points are awarded white sweaters. The outstanding girl athlete of the year is given a chenille chevron, while the Senior girl that is proclaimed best athlete during all her four years has her name engraved on a bronze statue. Activities of the Club include raising funds to cover all expenses for the sweater and letter awards given to the deserving girls on Honor Day. The G.A.A. also sponsors two social events during the year. A formal dance is given in May, at which time all athletes are honored and a Tea at which the mothers of the students are entertained—it has officially come to be known as Mothers ' Tea . V A L 0 R G I V E N At the close of the year, the G.A.A. members partici¬ pate in a Play Day which gives the girls ample opportunity to compete in athletic contests with girls from neighboring schools.

The original charter members wrote the Club ' s Constitution which included the aims and requirements for members. The Latin Club was founded for the purpose of creating a more active and intelligent interest in Latin. Any studen that maintained passing grades and had either two Y eQ rs of Latin or was taking a Latin course during the current year was eligible to membership in the Club. Under the first president, Herbert Rawlings, the club members chose the name, Socies Latina, meaning Latin So¬ ciety. Later this name was discontinued because of the more popular use of the name Latin Club . Other officers during the initial year of the Club were: Seth McLellan, Vice-President and Nancy Lou Spindler, secret ary-treasurer. In the fall of the following year, 1940, the Latin Club members were again joined together with Robert Crisler as President. Nanette Berg and Mary Ellen Howkinson were elected vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively. This year the enrollment of the Club has increased from fourty-three to fifty-two. This increase in membership and the growing popularity of the Club was due largely to the interesting programs conducted at the monthly meetings. At these meetings, readings, plays and contests of various types concerning Roman customs and history were presented. All these programs did much in the furthering of the purpose of the Club an active interest in Latin. During the year the Club presented activities for the benefit of the entire student body. One interesting program featured the singing of Latin Christmas carols for the Christmas program. The Latin Club has made a successful start and is planning many activities for the coming year. i - tt - ft — - 19 1 LOWE LL I AH ■—-ft ■ — fj? — ft - It] M E $ i R S H A V E L I T T H V Ej L K I N 0 M E A N 0 A L L Y H U E IS E R E B 0 R N I N V — — £ 19U1 LOWELL I AN -H r L a G 0 F T H E F R E E H E A R T S H 0 P E A N 0 H 0 M E I B Y A F.

Each member is sub¬ ject to recall by his group, and the expulsion for failure to attend meetings without legal excuse. Any member may bring for discussion in the Council any question or problem of his group. The Council has the priv¬ ilege of consulting with teachers upon problems concerning them and the groups they sponsor.

The Club has gained much popularity and has inspired a new interest in the home economics vocation since that time. Any stu¬ dent wishing to become a member of the Club must maintain a specified grade average and be taking home economics at the time or have already completed the course. There are fifty- six members this year., which is an approximate increase of fifteen over last year ' s enrollment. Keeping in mind the phrase of their constitution that states: We must do our utmost to aid our community and fel¬ low neighborsj the girls gladly donated enough food and toys to fill several large boxes that were sent to needy families in the community. The Lowell High School Home Ec Club is a member of the State Club. When the annual convention of the State Club took place at Indianapolis on October 27j Martha Gene Edmond¬ son and Adelia Ewer were sent as representatives of the Low¬ ell branch of the Club. The girls brought back from the con¬ vention; plans for a beauty or personality division of the Club. They hope to have these plans materialize in the near future. Progressiveness and activity mark the program of the Club. During the year it sponsored several parties in col¬ laboration with the Ag Club. The two clubs held a joint to- bboganing party at Such Hill in Crown Point during the winter holidays. Later on., a picnic was held on one of the farms. Near the close of the year; a trip to Chicago to the Swift Packing Company was made by a majority of the Home Ec mem¬ bers, The Club also plans another picnic sometime in the- spring or at the close of the year. The Home Ec Club builds its success on co-operation and initiative. It hopes for much success in the future. I - - - ft -tWl LOWELL I AW —- - - £ — - 1 A e! t ’I i! E!

Butj of all the things that can des- E 0 troy a fellow ' s perseverance is a little sister; one named w H 0 Tootsie., who can always manage to hear and tell all evil. E l p When Alexander Norris decided to gain his family ' s res- K E pectj he had all these odds to face. Alex was the type of I N A boy who wanted to do something in order to make his family 0 appreciate him. With a natural talent for dancingj he de- D 0 H 0 cided to enter a contest, the winner of which would appear M as a dancing partner of Penny Palmer in her coming picture. E M E Alex kept his plans secret because he knows his father k ! and mother would not quite approve. His parents would not be N home on the evening of the contest because Dean Norris was 0 going to attend a college meeting and his wife was going to A visit with friends. Alex had to carefully conceal his plans L L 8 from Mrs. Grimm, the middle-aged housekeeper because she Y would make fun of him and tell him to stay home and study. T H A N There was one person that Alex could trust with his Y G F. L secret; that was Grandpa Fuller. He was a whimsical old H gentleman, who was a friend of youth. With his aid, Alex u E managed to salvage a dress suit belonging to his father from S A a bundle that was to be sent to the Welfare Society. With w N the aid of Polly Becker, the ' teen-age girl from next door. £ u S enough money for one ticket was collected. By a subtle way R E of snooping. Tootsie uncovered the plans, so she contributed 6 0 0 to the plot by lending Alex her Lone Ranger mask to disguise himself from Amy and Philip, who were also attending the R V A dance. With all these preparations and the final orders to N L 0 return home before his family, Alex left. 1 N R Early the next morning Amy and Phillip recited the won- G ders of the ball to the Norris household.

S When Jake Richards and Morgan Maxwell arrived about an hour later., explaining that they were canvassing the town to find the Masked Marvel for Miss Palmer., Alexander grew tense. The men said they were working on clues; the Masked Marvel had torn his pants on a nail as he was leaving, so they were looking for a torn dress suit. Dean Norris angrily said that he did not believe in dancing; furthermore, he had given his only dress suit to the Welfare Society. But that didn ' t end the matter because Mrs. Grimm found the torn suit in a clo¬ set. Upon investigation, it was found that it was We suit. Dean Norris was in a frenzie when Mrs. Norris would not believe that he had attended the college meeting after all. So, the four conspirators decided to confess. When the great Penny herself, crrived at the house and identified Alex as the Masked Marvel, he became the man of the hour. Meanwhile, the President of the College, hearing of the affair was feafful that Dean Norris would accept the new position in Hollywood. So, in order to keep the Dean on the staff, he promoted him to vice-president of the school. The Senior Class of Lowell High School presented «S a ,n Pex er« to a full house on April 25, 1941.

When he sent a letter A V E L 1 H £ to his mother, modestly mentioning the fact that he had sav- T A ed a young French girl from drowning, she was astonished. T R T S But wouldn ' t you be astonished too, if your son has rescued a drowning French girl, especially since he did not know how H E M to swim and was a very timid young man? W E ' 0 P But these trivial matters did not faze Mrs. Goodyear in l £ the least because she was an adoring mother who could see un- 1 A limited possibilities in her quiet son. Not wanting to keep- N N the heroic deed Douglas performed from the public, Mrs. Good 0 fr year divulged the story to Victoria Esmond, a newspaper re— 0 M H 0 M porter. Mrs. Goodyear exaggerated the story slightly, so that E £ ! when it was printed, it made Douglas a hero in the eyes of the readers by saying he had risked his own life to rescue a titled French countess. This accounts for the brass band and noisy reception that greeted Douglas on his arrival home A N o. A l B from his vacation in France, L Y When Douglas seemed dazed by the reception and congra— T H A tulatory messages he received, his family thought he was Y N G just tired from his long trip. It was not until after the H F. confusion died down that Douglas realized the extent of his u 1 H dilemma. He meekly accepted the praises of his friends but confidentially admitted to his sister, Grace, that he actual- E S A N ly could not swim a stroke even though he did rescue the w •£ 0 French girl. It happens that he rescued her while he was in R s a rowboat. E T 0 Naturally the statements Mrs. Goodyear had been making to the newspapers disturbed Douglas, but not half as much as B 0 R V A the fact that Virginia Ferguson, his fiancee, believed the A L story that the French girl Douglas rescued meant something 1 0 R to him. Douglas could not explain the true circumstances N Q surrounding the rescue without exposing his mother ' s fibbing.

Mrs. Baxter Warner brought her husband., Mr. Warner., the president of The Hero ' s Club, to the Goodyear home to investigate the story. Of course Douglas wasn ' t actually a member but they agreed to sponsor a swimming meet featuring Douglas and Spike Ryder, a champion swimmer. Mrs. Baxter explained that the swimming match would disprove rumors about Douglas spread by Bunny Wheeler, a young man engaged to Grace Good¬ year, that Douglas could not swim. Another stipulation to club membership is that Douglas must win the meet. By this time Mrs. Goodyear actually believed the stories she had told about her son being a champion swimmer so she felt confident of his victory, But Douglas, realizing that he would have to back up his mother ' s stories, went to a pri¬ vate swimming teacher where he took lessons in earnest. By losing the meet Douglas would not only expose his mother and lose the club membership but would also have to break his engagement to Virginia because of an agreement they made. During the meet, the French girl, Claudette Bordoni, arrived on the scene. She had read Douglas ' unbelievable story and hoped to get Douglas ' money for it but as soon as she met Spike Ryder she completely forgot Douggie , But when the day of the race finally arrived, Douglas was acclaimed the winner and everything turned out happily in the end.

We may lose our wealth and all material possessions, but when we once have attained a sound education, no one can take it from us. An educated person is in a much better position to make a success of his life than is an uneducated person. His ed¬ ucation provides him with intelligence to cope with his pro¬ blems; it makes him a better citizen with a broad minded outlook on life; it supplies him with the culture and under¬ standing that helps him cooperate successfully with his fel¬ low workers. Success in life comes much easier on a foundation of a good education. Schools promote education for future secur¬ ity.

G| V JL s; 1941 LOWELLIAN iL s_ Z T 1940-1941 Sports Year I V Another chapter of Lowell sports has ended. A football schedule of eight tough games awaited the Devils this year as they took to the field against Horace Mann in the season opener. This stiff opposition was battered down, and although a scoreless deadlock resulted, a statistical victory and an uplifting of Lowell morale came about. The husky Devils downed Griffith, smashed Crown Point mercilessly in a 2i to 3 rout, and avenged last year ' s defeat at the hands of Mor¬ occo by a 34 to 6 win, and a final victory of 40 to 0 over Valparaiso. Graduation will take its toll of football players this year in the persons of team captain Harold Lappie; Ends Bill O ' Brien, Frank Schafer, andVerle Little; Guards Wimp Langen, Jim Windbigler, and George Markstrom; Quarterback VanDeursen; and Fullback Vernon Childress. Still or( the Red Devil squad we have: Leo Novak, Lef¬ ty Carlson, Russel Olson, Seth McLellan, Tom Combs, Dick Randolph, pete Peterson, Bob Brownell, Mel Clark, Kitch Hay¬ den, Art Lehman, Theo Black, George Stowell, Red McGrow, Nick Schafer, Lester Hayden, and some promising Freshmen. Red Devil basketball in ' 41 fared none too well under a barrage of fast, sharpshooting rivals. Season ' s end found the Devils with 10 losses and 5 wins, A good team on de¬ fense, the Devil cagers lacked scoring punch. Childress, Hiland and VanDeursen will go the graduation route, while Kitchell Hayden, Seth McLellan, Garland Fish, Joe Carroll, Lefty Carlson, Sparky Hall, and many others will be back on the job. To date, no definite track schedule for 1941 has been scheduled. In dual track meets last year, Lowell won over DeMotte, Valpo, Griffith, and Fair Oaks, while losing only one such meet to Hammond High. Much is expected this year of Verle Little, Vernon Childress, and Doc Bardens. Twenty boys are expected to be track regulars this year with several promising Freshmen, All the above facts spell success in the present track season and we watch Coach Little put his boys through the paces knowing the growth of popularity and interest in Lowell track.

Passes., Novak to left end O ' Brien., thrilling end around runs by Novak, Van Deursen ' s pass interceptions and the hard hitting line play., battered the Horsemen opposition in four thrill packed but scoreless quarters. Lowell ' s Red (hot) Devils came very close to causing a few nervous breakdowns as they made four very definite scoring threats, the last of which fell short by inches of being a cherished first down on Horace Mann ' s 2 yard line. One of the thrilling spectacles was a sustained drive on a 25 yard pass from Novak to O ' Brien, three running plays by O ' Brien and Novak, netting 9 yards and a final line plung by O ' Brien which fell short by fatal inches. From the standpoint of statistics, the Red Devils emer¬ ged with all honors in outrushing, outpassing, and thorough¬ ly outplaying the Horsemen. And so closed the first chapter in which the Devils showed themselves to beadefinite threat in all departments. To quote from the Gary Post Tribunej Lowell ' s Devils last night, hung one on the Horsemen of Horace Man. Lowell 32 —Griffith 6 Lowell ' s seventh successive football victory over the hapless Panthers of Griffith, featured four quarters of Red Devil blitzkrieg. Fullback Childress set off the attack with low charging runs, crashing repeatedly through center for lengthy gains and had two touchdowns to his credit at the conclusion of the skirmish. Two Lowell touchdowns came with¬ in thirty seconds of one another in another portion of the game, when end Bill O ' Brien covered a loose ball back of the Griffith goal line for a touchdown. This followed closely a previous touchdown and kickoff by the Red Devils. Play be¬ came somewhat ineffective because of the Red Devil backfield fumbling and penalties, two for clipping, one for abusing the King ' s English, and one for offside, in other words a loss of 50 yards in penalties. The only Panther tally came late in the third quarter on a 27 yard pass into the end zone. - mi LOWEL L I AN — — - ft - — 7 7 — — iT ic V ;T !Aj IS 1 A l i | Li I ! 1 } T i 1 H ' : E! !«| Li !

Method¬ ic working of a tricky Red Devil attack smashed constantly at Crown Point ' s defense for large gains. During the first quarter play seesawed between the rival 20 yard markers with neither squad able to penetrate to the other ' s goal. In that first quarter battle., an exchange of quick kicks almost prov¬ ed fatal to Lowell as Henderlong of Crown Point recovered a Lowell fumble on the Lowell 15 yard line. The scoring threat was broken up when Red Devil Van Deursen recovered a Crown Point fumble at practically the same spot. 1 Si I HI 0 I M E t Lowell ' s first score of the game came on a sustained power drive of 65 yards into Bull Dog territory. Childress and Novak carried the attack on long running gains which placed the ball on the C. P. 12 yard stripe, where Novak crossed the goal, Van Deursen converted. After this first tally. Bull Dog resistance crumbled and Lowell ' s war party marched over two more touchdowns with conversions from the educated toe of Fullback Childress. Crown Point threats were the line crashing of Henderlong and the Horst to Horst pass¬ ing combination. Lowell 6 —Tolleston 12 9 lY a! NI j E: L N A! I 0 s T |0 iv A It 0 R A freak brought about the Red Devil ' s first defeat of the 1940 season. An unbelievable touchdown pass occured late in the fourth quarter when Tolleston ' s Kohut threw a 47 yard forward pass which was bounced about by two Red Devil players on the 12 yard line only to be bobbled into a Raider ' s hands. Preceeding this, there were three quarters of hard foot¬ ball by Tolleston and a Lowell grit which kept the game tied up 6 to 6. Lowell ' s first scoring drive of the game came a- bout when a Tolleston fumble was recovered on the Tolleston 49. Lappie, Childress, and Novak followed a seasoned line who were blocking like a sextet of professionals for the 49 yards to the Raider ramparts and a touchdown by Childress. An attempt to kick for point by Childress failed to cross the uprights. Many games have come and passed in Lowell ' s annals but this was the proverbial heartbreaker.

Red Devil Lappie went over for our only score during the opening of the third quar¬ ter., on a three yard plunge through center. This tally followed a 50 yard drive that started with Clark receiving the Yellow Jacket kickoff on the Lowell 40 yard line., returned it to the 50 where Lappiej Novak and Van Deursen carried the mail for 6j 2j and 5 yards respectively. A forward pasSj Novak to O ' Brien, failed to connect and Low¬ ell depended on the excellent running of Carlson and Lappie for 10 yards and another first down. On the next four plays Lappie and Childress carried the ball 27 yards with Lappie scoring on a 3 yard plunge behind the fast and furious line charging of Carlson. Conversion was attempted by Van Deur¬ sen who missed crossing the line by inches. Rensselaer tied it up in the fourth quarter on a 55 yard drive and turned the tides of battle when later they recovered a Lowell fumble on the 20j scoring and converting. Lowell 34—Morocco 6 Lowell ' s only afternoon gamej scheduled with Morocco ' s Beavers turned into rout for a changed and determined Red Devil squad. With a lust to revenge last year ' s defeatj Low¬ ell opened up in the first half with a 20 to 0 lead. Lappie Novakj Van Deursenj Carlsonj and O ' Brien racked up a contin¬ uous series of first downs. Leo Novak crossed the goal line for the first touchdown, and later, again, for the third touchdown. The game ' s second tally was made by Jim Van Deur¬ sen from 12 yards out. Probably the most sensational run of the game was made by Novak who, upon receiving Morocco ' s third kickoff, ran 90 yards to score. Second half scoring made by Vernon Childress and by Seth McCellan. Morrocco ' s lone tally was eked out in the closing quarter of the game on a completed pass. Lowell Usl m e! HI |v| ■ E!

P. touchdown and conver- E sion. Crown Point threatened late in the third quarter, af- L 1 H ter blocking a Lowell punt on Lowell ' s 37 yard line and in a t ! E A succession of 7 plays and a penalty of one-half the distance T R to the goal, Grayson scored on a quarterback sneak. A pass HI T s from Hurst to quarterback Ross accounted for the extra point.

A N Lowell 40 — Valpo 0 D In a grudge contest the Red Devils came back after two l B depression years to smash a mediocre Valparaiso eleven. The L Y 1940 season finale was a mud fest in every sense of the T A word but Lowell swamped the Vikings to a greater degree Y N than did the mud. The Devils won the toss and received the G E kickoff on the 10 yard line and returned it to the 46 yard U L line. The Devils then marched the ball up the field and over E H the goal line, Lappie scoring the first touchdown of the S A s game. The attempted extra point failed. w E D From the opening kickoff to the last quarter of the game. R s Lowell ' s offense and defense was carried out with precision E T and timing. The only period in which the Devils were unable B u to score was in the third quarter. This may be attributed to R V the fact that the whole quarter was played on the muddiest � L portion of the field. Vernon Childress led the scoring with 1 0 19 points, Novak a close second with 13 points and Lappie N third with 6 points.

To date., at the time of this writing, Lowell ' s Red Devils have met and humbled five squads. Crown Point succumbed 94 to 15, Fair Oaks met defeat by a 95 to 14 tally, while the fleet-footed Devils knocked over Valpo 58 to 50. The decision over Valpo was so close that it had to be decided in the relays. Other Red Devil track victories have been: North Judson 60 to 43, and Merrillville 48 to 43. The annual Chesterton relays were held on Saturday May 4, with Such tough competition as: Portage, Lowell, Valpo, Edison, Westville, Chesterton, Emerson, Merrillville, Rens¬ selaer, and Michigan City. Lowell emerged from this tough competition with a close second place, so close that a frac¬ tion would have brought our squad the victor ' s honors. Low¬ ell ' s scoring weakness in this fray may be charged to lack of man—power; only eight of the Lowell squad turned up to participate. Final standings in this meet due to the faith¬ ful eight, left Lowell an undisputed second with 44 9 14 points. Senior lettermen to be lost by graduation this year are: Vernon Childress, Verle Little, Bill O ' Brien, and Charles Aim. But there is a brighter side to the picture, the sev¬ eral promising underclassmen in whom Coach Little has the utmost confidence for the next season. Miler Verle Little, hurdler and broad jumper Vern Childress, shot put artist Bill O ' Brien, and the lanky pole vaulter Charles Aim have now passed from the Lowell sportlight to be replaced by new faces. The track meets scheduled for the balance of this year- are as follows: May 8—Hammond Tech, there; May 12—Little Four at Crown Point; May 17 it 24, Secti onal and State Meets. The cinder path next year will see Bardens in the dashes, Herlitz in the mile. Hall in the running broad jump, McLellan in the 440 and 880 and anchor man in the mile relay, Hayden in the shot put, while Kalvaitis does a fine job on the high hurdles. Expect a steady trend of wins from Lowell ' s 1942 track prospects. ■j W — w 19U1 LOWeiUAN SJ- V — I T 1 - ft - ☆- ft - 19U1 LOWE ELI AN- ft - -ft--| fT L A G i S 0 F fcirls ' Intranjural Sports jl T A widely varied intramural program has been supplied for R |S H E the girls of Lowell High School to substitute for the lack 1 H p of varsity competition with other schools. A y R Major sports of the intramural program offered during E E E the noon hours were: speedball, hit-pin-basebal1, volley- l ring tenniSj basketball,, baseball,, tennis., mass aerial dart. 1 H E and track. Variations of these games also constituted a T A ft great part of the activities. i t T After teams had chosen their captains and had several E s team practices., elimination tournaments were held in each w H sport. Competition for championship ran high in all the t 0 p games with each class putting up a fine example of sports- E manship and cooperation. This year,, as in the previous year., 1 A the Seniors demonstrated their athletic ability by winning N N the majority of the class championships in the various 0 0 sports. 0 H H 0 During this year the minor sports played a role almost E M as important as the major sports. Elimination tournaments E ! were held in badminton, ping-pong, tether ball, loop tennis. A ; ft box hockey, and defk tennis. 0 In the individual tournaments, Harriett Robinson won A the ping-pong and deck tennis contests. Harriett, with Mar- L LI 8 gie Wehle as her partner, also won the doubles matches in Y these games. Deck tennis is a game played with the same T H A general rules as volley ring tennis except for the fact that Y N a it is played on a smaller court with one person constituting H F. a side. U The winner of the badminton tournament was a Sophomore, E S H A June Wehle, who with her sister Margie, also captured the w N n doubles titles. E s Captains of the various winning Senior teams this year E T were: Dorothy Keithley, speedball; Jane Seals, hit-pin; B 0 Inell Duncan, volley-ring; and Betty Wineland, basketball. 0 V Girls participating in intramural sports realize that H N A L sound bodies and good health are derived from invigorating | 0 exercise. For this reason and also the great enjoyment these N R activities supply, each year more and more girls enter into H G the intramural sports.

It is the symbol of our national unity., our national endeavor., our national aspiration. It tells you of the struggle for inde¬ pendence., of union preserved., of liberty and union one and inseparable., of the sacrifices of brave men and women to whom the ideals and honor of thi3 nation have been dearer than life. It means America first; it means an undivided allegiance. It means America united., strong and efficient., equal to her tasks. It means that you cannot be saved by the valor and devotion of your ancestors; that to each generation comes its patriotic duty; and that upon your willingness to sacrifice and endure as those before you have sacrificed and endured rests the national hope. It speaks of equal rights; of the inspiration of free institutions exemplified and vindicated; of liberty under law intelligently conceived and impartially administered. There is not a thread in it but scorns self-indulgence, weakness, and rapacity. It is eloquent of our community in¬ terests, outweighing all divergencies of opinion, and of our common destiny. 1941 LOWELL I AN -a « Y A N G E L H A N 0 s r o V A L 0 R G E I i ' S i m ‘ i!
