Lowe Ilian FOREWORD In these troubled times., with the conquered peoples of Europe helpless under the rule of the Nazis and Fascists the enslaved workman can only express his hope and faith in Democracy by a single letter—V for Victory. While this silent campaign does no material damage to the armed might of the Nazi masters, it expresses the un¬ bounded determination of free people to remain free. It is a harbinger of final triumph for Democracy andtoHitler means the destruction of an empire founded on tyranny and evil. With these underlying factors firmly in mindj the theme chosen for this year book is V for Victory. Pag e 6 Lowe LI tan AM?

He also attended Boy ' s State and was sent to the State Legislature in 41. Airplanes (weakness) and learning to be a veterinarian (am¬ bition) also occupy a large share of his time, not counting fishing (hobby). With such a fine record Doc is sure to be a success.

Lefty doesn ' t sleep (weakness) when he ' s in shop (favorite subject! for he knows that his grades (pet peeve) would fall. His hobby (baseball) leads us to his ambition of playing pro baseball. Joe Carroll A little guy with a heart of gold—always shv—never bold. Joey gains recognition through his basketball and track re¬ cord in ' 39, ' 40j ' 41 and ' 42.

Professional basketball (ambition) holds a fascination for Joe as does his hobby, collecting match covers. Ronald Childers Gee whiz (pet expression) says Ronald when he hears a girl giggling (pet peeve) but all is forgiven and forgotten when he skates (weakness) or builds model airplanes (hobby).

Lorene Corns Lorene ' s favorite subject (bookkeeping) may not be much help for her in her later y ears life if she is able to carry out her ambition and be a beautician.

One hundred and thirty noisy students stormed the portals of that great institution of higher learning. Lowell High School. And with eight years of pre¬ paration behind us we were finally ready to fight to the finish against our arch rivals, that formidable team, Stupidity, which we eventually won. All of the information about the rules of the game and the plays that would be effective and help us to win, were presented to us by our coaches Miss Baughman and Mr. Seeright. As our captain, we chose Marvin Fleener. with Irene Horner and June Ebert to assist him in his important joD. Invaluable service was rendered, during the first few plays by Millard Clark and Ann Ross. They were cap¬ ably assisted oy William Kennedy and Shirley Hepp who represented the team in Student Council. Several prominent scientific plays were invented and carried out (and later passed on to the underclassmen) by our representa¬ tion in the Science Club—namely S. Peterson, N. L. Spindler, N. Roberts, N. Griggs, M. Conley, and C. Schock. To prove our great interest in extra-curricular activities, our team had a representation of 12 members in the Band. 3 in the Glee Club, while G. McBride, S. Peterson, N. L. Spindler, C. La Motte, F. McMann, S. Hepp, I. Horner, N. Fuller and N. Roberts S roved their ability in sports and soon became members of the . A. A. The freshman girls were very graciously welcomed by the Sen¬ iors, at a treasure hunt. Many of the team ' s members were on the Distinguished list and many of the remainder received Honorable Mention. The Ag Club aided greatly in the scoring. They included R. Poppe, R. Childers, J. Osburn, G. Woodke, W. Kennedy, K. Hayden, B, Herlitz, N. Huseman, Lester Hayden, and A. Gates. Our class representatives in the Lowellian Contest made a very good showing. They were: Best looking—Ila Harper and Dick Hay¬ den: Most popular—June Ebert and Seth McLellan; Best athletes— Shirley Peterson and Albin Carlson; Most likely to succeed—Nancy Spindler and John Bardens. Because of their great talents during the eventful first quarter, John Bardens and Seth McLellan received the first and se¬ cond Literary Awards, respectively. The L. H. S. Honor Society presented keys to M. Hall, S,. Pet¬ erson, and N. Spindler as recognition of their participation in various activities. The gun was fired to signify the end of the first quarter. The score was 6-0 with the Class of 1942 in the lead. As a matter of celebration, the entire team hiked to Castlebrook Golf Course for a picnic. A short intermission gave the players an opportunity to relax and renew their vim, vigor, and vitality. 9 ur new coaches for the second quarter were Mr. Brentlinger and Miss McKenzie and their roster contained the names of ninety-eight players. As president we chose Seth McLellan, with John Bardens as vice-president and Jean Little as Secretary and treasurer. Our representatives in Student Council during this quarter were Patricia Petrie and Joe Carroll. Remember Pearl Harbor 9 49.. Lowellxan ' Page 41 Our next great decision was made when the team.chose Kelly green and white as its colors. We broke all traditions when we introduced the cardigan and coat style sweaters in Lowell High. A great majority of the players purchased these sweaters., which have won much admiration. Many boys on our team won major letters in the field of sports. In football they were K. Hayden, L. Novak., F. Peterson., D. Randolph. M. Clark., and B. Brownell. One of our proudest mo¬ ments was when F. Peterson was named as a member ot the Allbtar team of the Little Five Conference. , M. Hall, and A. Carlson starred in varsity basketball. The entire starting lineup of the second team was sophomoric. The girls contributed greatly to the honor of the team, by winning the hitpin tournament., and being in the finals in several other sports. Many of these girls joined the G. A. A. this year. On Honor Day John Bardens and Nona Vicory received the first and second Literary Awards, respectively and S. Peterson, M. Hall, M. Cordrey were awarded keys by the Honor Society.

Autographing her latest book in the literary section of a large department store., Miss Cook accidentally came upon Etchison, still a buck private as he was buying the book From Private to Corporal in 10 Easy Lessons. We find them reminiscing as they stroll down the street and hear Miss Cook say How time flies! Now it ' s 1962! Speaking of flying., see what ' s coming—a flying auto! Why, those drivers are Dick Randolph and Seth McLellan, rumbled Etchison, The auto came to a quick stop and after Seth and Dick had overcome their surprise they invited their former advisors to go for a ride in their new invention, which, they explained, had just been accepted by the United States Government. For the time being they were calling it a Skymobile but until they were able to get the auto into the air the boys were keeping the name a secret. Where would you like a ride? e haven ' t much gas on hand, but there ' s one of Garland Fish ' s famous chain gasoline stations just ahead. From his high school experience he has now worked him¬ self up to president of the Flying Auto Gas Company. I have it, lets go to Lowell! I heard rumors that Leopold Kalvaitis is a Professor of Aeronautics at the high school. His dreams have finally come true. Dorothy Russel has taken over Miss Burton ' s responsibilities as Home Ec instructor, I hear she serves delicious lunches. She has employed the widely known Interior Decorator Harriet Rashig to remodel trie lunch room. Harriet used Ciro ' s of Hollywood as a basis for her work. I ' m anxious to check up on her ability. She was an outstanding art student wasn ' t she. Miss Cook? I ' m thirsty, I can hardly wait to reach Lov el 1 to get a drink from the Coca Cola fountains which have replaced the sulphur water fountains. The society debutante Janet Fedler never liked sulphur water so she took pity on her successors and donated her millions for this project. Robert Brownell has taken over duties of Coach Wernz.and yet he finds time to direct the Hollywood Prep Course in which love making is highly emphasized. Oh Coach, look out your window! There ' s the famous Dobbins ' Cat Hospital. It ' s a hospital for homeless and stray sick cats with Befty herself as president and chief surgeon. Betty has for¬ gotten that she was allergic to cats. They used to have an em¬ barrassing affect on her, her face would become red and swollen. She has employed Jim Hayden as head nurse. When off duty he does research work or looks about for more cats. Oh! We must be nearing Lowell because there ' s the neatest, dairy farm of ' 62, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Poppe. In 1948 Robert wed the well known hog raising champion, Dorothy Homfeld, a former classmate. Dorothy had to stop raising hogs as Bob ' s high bred cows are temperamental and allergic to them, but she is remembered for her blue ribbon champions of former years. The group arrived at Lowell and immediately set out for the aristocratic cafe owned by joint partners Helen Aim and Lorene Corns. It ' s the winter high spot for the ice skaters. They have built around a pool which serves as a swimming pool in the summer Remember Pearl Harbor Page 5 0 Lowe Ilian 1942 and ice skating in the winter. As they dine we hear- Coach, isn ' t that Ray Barkev the Olympic polevaulting champ and Tommie Burckman. the Chicago Cubs manager! Finishing their desert they sauntered over to Ray and Tom ' s table. After greetings were exchanged. Ray asked, Are you folks taking in the ice review this evening at the stadium? Leo Novak the rich play boy and Norma Roberts will be there. Did you know Norma sas singing with Ronald Childers ' orchestra with Nick Scha¬ fer as her partner? Some class, no. Last week I heard Ronald ' s orchestra play before a crowd of 75.000 people. It still remains a mystery to me just how Leo climbed the ladder of success, but I it it sas between Lowell and Hobart. wonder We attend Leaving i t sas left Tom the ice review the cafe between and Ray with the understanding that we would all ai the Lowell Stadium that evening. we set out to look for a hotel, to rest up a bit. We learned that Shirley Keithley and Alvina Schrieber own¬ ed a hotel on Commercial Avenue. Upon arriving there a large neon sign informed us that its name was the K. R. A. Bachelorjs Hotel. Shirley told us that they gave this name to their hotel in remem¬ brance of their Kick Romance Around club. Nona Vicory was also a member. However. Nona ' s marrige to the wealthy Carlyle Schock has put her out of the club. Carlyle ' s library donations have made Andrew Carnegie ' s look weak. He has established two in Lo¬ well. with Ruth Widdel as overseer. It took much persuasion from Alvina to get Miss Cook to stay and be her guest at the hotel, but of course the men were willing. I might add that instead of boys for bell hop6 they have girls. Seven-thirty rolled around and we were all comfortably ar¬ ranged in our box seats. As the announcer started to speak. Miss Cook recognized the voice to be that of Norbert Huseman. who is well known announcer and during the war with the Japs he was rec¬ ognized as a very prominent radio commentator over all N. B. C. stations. Hearing Norbert ' s voice again was quite a shock, but what he was saying was still more shocking. He was announcing that Ruby Dinwidaie was doing a number called Blades of Steel. ' We later learned that Ruby was soon to appear in a Hollywood production called Moon Shine Valley. The following morning an abrupt rap on the door brought Miss Cook wide-awake. She went to the door and the morning paper was handed to her. She asked to have her breakfast served in ner room. She opened the paper and was surprised to see John Bardens as ed¬ itor of the Lowellette Morning Star. She was glancing over the society page edited by Phylis Petrie, famous journalist who earned a place in Who ' s Who in America. Glancing down the page she came across several interesting articles—the Little French Miss. Katherine Kasparian. has just arrived back in America. Her duties in France as a designer came to an end because of a better job offered her. Another article: informed her of the whereabouts ot Mary Jane Nelson. Mary Jane is lecturing about reconstruction to the war stricken wives in Germany. One ad that touched her funny bone was of Skippers dog soap ana flea powder—sold by Daisy Wal¬ ters at her residence. Inciaently Mildred Henn is her chief cust¬ omer. Mildred is the proprieter of the Milan Dog Kennels. She specializes in the very best breed of dogs. Meanwhile, the three men were out galavanting around for them¬ selves. They learned that Harry Jaye accompanied by the violinist. Albin Carlson, was seranading the Senoritas in their Latin Amer¬ ican travels. Remember a r l Ha r b 0 r 1942 Lowe Ilian Page 5 1 The men came across a department store so they walked in. Guess what they saw! Franklin Peterson modeling mens shorts and sporting goods! Could he have had his inspiration from the Thanks¬ giving play in ' 41? Junella Schafer was modeling shoes in the Women ' s shoe department. Junella 1 s efforts made the department such a success. During lunch hour Florence Connelly entered the hotel to see Alvina and Shirley. She was invited to spend the afternoon and evening with Miss Cook as their journey back to New York had been put off for several days. Tuffy had an appointment at the Davis Beauty Salon. Miss Cook decided to have her hair done so she went too. As they walked in they noticed the sign on the stenograp er ' s desk reading Get your Davis Credit Card now. As Miss Cook turn¬ ed to get her ' s she noticed the stenographer to be Marjorie Leep. Marjorie is one of the highest paid stenographers of the Middle West. Marilyn saw to it that Miss Cook and Tuffy received the best of service. On their return trip to the hotel they passed by the city square. In the midst of a huge crowd, standing on a soap box was the Women ' s Rights Campaign speaker,, June Eberf. June finds this a favorable pastime for ridding herself of nervous energy. Rumor has it that June will be running for Congress on the Raw Deal ticket next year. A half block down the street Tuffy suggested they enter the Sport ' s Club. It proved to be a good idea as they came across two more former classmates. Gene Korth and Bill Herlitz had the box¬ ing gloves flying. Could it be they still hold that grudge over a certain little miss? The score up to date is Korth—25 black eyes and Herlitz—24. Next they entered the neat little Gypsy Tea Room., and much to their surprise they saw Irene Horner sitting at a table with a crystal ball before her. They asked Irene what had inspired her to follow such a career, and she said that ever since her high school days she had wanted to help the love lorn by telling their fortunes. She said it was very interesting and after she told our ' s we went on our way. As supper time neared the two returned to the hotel and found Seth, Dick and Coach seated around a portable radio. The announcer was saying We are proud to introduce to our studio audience Mr. Norbert Rosenwinxel, the proud father of three Quiz kids. Coach, here forgetting nis quietness, boomed out with— Ya, he married a brainstorm from Crown Point. Oh, and I heard where Ann Ross is. She ' s training horses for Uncle Sam, at Fort Bliss, Texas in the cavalry division. Her acquaintance with Hop Along Cassidy ' s son has helped bring her fame. That evening the party climbed aboard the flying auto and headed for Chicago to Joe Carroll ' s Paradise Theatre. Lou Costello and his new partner, Margaret Potter, were the main feature with Shirley Hepp on a personal appearance tour with the aged Errol Flynn. Shirley is quite a tapper, but I wonder what happened to Bud Abbott? Did Margaret put him out of business? For further information ask Margaret. That pretty brunette at the cashier window looked familiar!! Stepping closer they recognized her to be none other than Jeanette One of Millard Clark ' s ushers took them to their seats. Mil¬ lard has taken over Andy Frain ' s position as head of training ush¬ ers. They were no more than seated when the sport news flashed before them. Familiar names dashed across the screen. Pictures Pa?e 52 Lowe Ilian 19 42 followed. Norman Griggs and Millard Hall were tightly locked in a wrestling match held earlier in Madison Square Garden. Farm Activities Came To Life,, the movie was taken at the Hayden Brothers ' Farm. Owing to their Purdue education., Kitchell ana Lester are now very prominent farmers in Iowa. Many difficulties were encountered before they were outside of Chicago ' s city limits. As vet Seth and Dick still hadn ' t been able to leave the ground in their flying autg, and they were caught in the midst of a traffic jam. It was finally unravelled by Policewoman Alberta Jaeger. During the war Alberta secured this position which she now holds. As the auto reached the outskirts of the city the neon news signs were flashing the outstanding news of the day. One read Do you want to diet? 1 Jean Lii-tle, a famed dietician has just com¬ pleted her diet for streamlining the Parasites. Jean personally guarantees her diet to be safe. She is well on the way to ' e- covery and will be released from the hospital in two weeks. Nearing Lowell stomachs informed the party that a meal was in order so they stopped at Dorothy Amtsbuechler ' s curb service. They glided to a stop and before they had lowered the window., a waitress was at their elbow., and the pert little miss was Rowena Collins. Arriving at Lowell the shriek of a fire alarm was heard. The Flying Auto never hesitated but went directly to the scene of the excitement. The fire proved very destructive to John Osburns truck farm. John himself was treated for third degree burns by Doctor Hobart Dickerson assisted by Nurse Shirley Brandt. Seeing that everything was in capable hands they returned to the hotel for another nights lodging. ' Rising early to attend Sunday services next morning they saw Kenneth Whiting sitting in the pulpit. He preached a most inter¬ esting sermon. His subject was The Sermon on the Mountain, or making mountains out of molehills, believe me, I knowl Then the church quartet sang two lovely hymns. We later learned that the four singers wore Marcella Cordrev—soprano, Evelyn Love—alto, Everett wel1s—-1enor, and Warren Simstad—bass. The quartet is heard weekly over numerous radio stations. They have also been heard singing minor parts in movies. Sitting in church they noticed the person sittingatthe piano. They finally decided it was Cecilia LaMotte. Sis took lessons from a great musician in Germany and in her spare time she plays for the church. She plays the musical background to Irene Wickers fairy tales. Her greatest ambition however is to break into their inner circle of Basin Street with her various bluesy arrange¬ ments of Jim. About fifteen minutes later they noticed the former Ila Har- per. Ila invited them to dinner that evening. The wolves readily accepted. Church was out and the little party of five went back to the hotel. When they entered the lobby they saw an odd looking gentle¬ man with a handle-bar mustache and all. He approached them and pointing he said, I believe you are Miss Cook. Miss Cook was so shocked she said— Yes, but who are you? Madam, I ' m the Honorable Dick Smith. Dick Smith! Well I didn ' t recognize you. What are you doing these days? Remember Pearl Ha r b 0 r I I I I I p I p p p p p p 1942 Lowe Ilian Page 53 I ' m a magician. He presented Miss Cook with an eye-catch¬ ing calling card which read— The Honorable Dr. Richard Smith, Esquire., Ph. D., M. O., B. S., P. D. Q. , and M. M. (Medicine Man) A sorcerer, a circuitous conjurer, and keeper family skeletons. Yes, Dick was a magician and pretty good too. You see he got the idea from high school days. He found out he could fool the teachers so he thought he could fool the public. Evening rolled around and the happy party was seated at a candle lighted table in Ha ' s luxurious nome. The maid broughtin the first course. She was Mary Hufnagel. We talked to Mary a while and she told us that Ila was the nicest boss she ever had. Coach, did you know James Petro is this district ' s represent ative in Congress! asked Ila. That ' s what I heard, and he now wishes he could take Govern¬ ment over because he knows the Constitution by heart. I wonder how he ever got up enough nerve to do any campaigning. I thought he was a rather reticent fellow back at Lowell. I don ' t know for sure. Coach, but rumor has it that he and Dale Carnegie are fast friends, also, he kept the entire El Ropo cigar factory going at one hundred per cent capacity for three months just to manufacture cigars especially for his campaign. They claim common stock of the lipstick companies went up 12 points because so much was used by the 20-year old babies he kissed. It ' s surprising how many old Lowell students are in Washing¬ ton, D. C. Shirley Peterson is the person that carries all the main bulletins into the President. The President wanted an ex¬ perienced person and Shirley certainly is experienced since she used to carry messages for the Office of Civilian Defense on a high powered motorcycle. They say she and a telegram started at Washington and she beat the wire to Baltimore by twenty seconds. Ila, whatever became of Nancy Spindler? of her for some time. I haven ' t heard She is the Mistress of Ceremonies of the most popular radio program in Hollywood. Last year she donated more to the Red Cross than any other American. She travels quite a bi t in the summer time. She has visited practically all the Latin American and European countries. Her personal advisor is Kenneth Hill. He takes care of her traveling expenses and all personal business. Kenneth is also a lawyer. By the way, Ila, what ever happened to you after you gradu¬ ated? I married an inventor, who made millions on a face cream to make a dog-faced woman look like Hedy La Marr. I guess we have found out about almost all of the class of ' 42. I believe there are two yet, how about Mary Cross and Bertha Villers? Haven ' t you heard of them? They places. They call themselves Mary and grand actresses, you ' d never know on the ried to two of th took Brenda and Cobina ' s Bertie. They ' re really 1 -- - w.. screen that they are mar- e most prominent casting directors of Hollywood. Unmindful of time, they had spent the evening remembering pleasantries of their school lives, and wondering over the strange part fate had played in the lives of their former classmates and students. The enjoyable day drew too rapidly to a close and much as they hated to go the guests had to leave, as Private Etchison ' s furlough was up the next day. Remember Pearl Harbor Page 54 LoweIlian 1M3 SENIOR PRESENT Tradition is one of the strongest forces which guides society, and so, following the custom of other Senior classes, the gradua¬ ting class of ' 4 2, to insure remembrance in this institution and to show appreciation for the help and guidance of its Alma Mater, presented the school with a complete clock system—twelve new clocks to be placed in the classrooms. In 1939, the Seniors started the clock system, and purchased clocks for important spots around the building—such as the office, auditorium, study hall, and main hall. But classrooms were left because of lack of sufficient funds. After much deliberation, the Seniors this year finally de¬ cided that to extend the clock system throughout the building would be not only the most practical and appreciated gift, but also would insure recognition for the class of ' 42 for many years to come. The Science Club purchased two clocks, one for the science lecture room, and one for the laboratory, so these rooms didn ' t have to be furnished by the Senior Class. No doubt this year ' s gift will be appreciated by underclass¬ men more than any other. Just think of all tne suspense that will be spared them while sitting in class and wondering how long it will be before the period is over. Now they know how long before lunch or the 3s 30 bel1. The School Board will finance the wiring and installation of these new clocks. When the new addition was built, the rooms in it were all wired, so they are ready now and just havd to be hook¬ ed up, The new clocks are TELECHRON, self-starting, made by the Stronberg Time Corporation, and are synchronized to work with the bell system operated in the office. These clocks cost the class $14.50 each, which totaled to The excise tax of 10% ($17.40) made a sum total of $191.40. class, therefore, spent more money in procuring a farewell for this school than any proceeding it.

And so a Biblical passage holds true today. Civilization ' s turmoil and confusion would, perhaps, end, if culture and education were more plentiful in more nations on earth. Both in famine and prosperity, the well-educated individual is in a far better position to enjoy success, for it is he who shall excell in all walks of life. And the less fortunate indi¬ vidual, who neglected his education, will, in all probability, be the so-called underdog unable to secure a position in time of dire need. To gain success in life, an education is imperative. We should realize this fact, for education enables us to face our problems and solve them in such a manner as to gain the admiration and respect of our fellow men. The Senior Grade Points are figured on the basis of the grades earned during the six-weeks periods throughout the four years. An A is equal to four points, B—three, C—two, and D—one point. This has no bearing on the selection of the class valedic¬ torian. The valedictorian is chosen by the averaging of the se¬ mester grades, while senior grade points are dependent upon the grades of the six-weeks periods.

Love Ilian Page 61 JUNIOR HISTORY On September 6, 19J9, one hundred and fifteen confident, ? ood looking, and healthy boys and girls tripped lightly thru the ront door of the Lowell District High School to become the Junior Class of this year. After three weeks we sett led down and elected Tom Combs, Pres¬ ident; Bob Cullen, Vice-President; Russell Olson, Secretary Treas- u rer. We elected Alice Reithiey and Bob Crisler to represent us in Student Council. Miss Baughman and Mr. Etchi son agreed to act as advisors during oyr Freshman year. We were well represented in the Freshman Lowellian Contests: best lookinp, Kav Getrost ahd Rpbert Hathaway; most popular, June Wehle and Bill Kingery; best athletes, 8ally Ploetz and Tom Combs; most Jlkely to succeed, Mary Howkinson and Jim Corten. The Fresh¬ men winning the most honor points were Bob Crisler, Nan Berg, and Mary Howkinson. In September 1940 we proceeded in the advancement of our education in High School. From most of our original number we elected: Mary Howkinson, President; Bill Kingery, Vice-President; and Kay Getrost, Secretary Treasurer. Later when Kay left our class Tom Combs replaced her as Secretary Treasurer. Nan Berg and Bob Crisler were our representatives in Student Council. By this time the boys and girls had developed more thoroughly in their athletic ability. More girls joined the G.A.A. and we were fortunate in having, on the first team of football, Tom Combs and Russell Olson. We as Sophmores, being very energetic, gabe the first public dance in many years. The dance was given in the Legion Hall and our sponsors. Miss Perry and Mr. Brentlinger, were also our chap¬ erons at rhe successful affair. The last weeks of school we hunted out our picnic baskets and prepared for ou,r annual spree. We joyfully chose Wicl er Park as our picnic grounds and proceeded to nave a delightful time. Prac¬ tically all of our classmates were present at our outing and this ended Our second year of high school. As we entered our third year we were presented with four new tedchers and a new addition to our school. For the first few days we happily searched out our new tasks ' With some difficulty in finding the right rooms. Finally we settled down and elected Jim Corten, President; Archie Huebsh, Vi ce-Pfesident; Ruth Edmonson, Secretary Treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Burton, Mr. Ham, and Mr. Brentlinger and from each room respectively our Student Council members were Betty Hudson, Pat Sauer, and Ruth Cool. Later Mr, Shutts replaced Mr. Ham as sponsor at the end of the first semester. Even to a greater extent our class participated in the school spotts. Major lettermen in footbajl were Art Lehman, Tom Combs, Bill Kingery, and George Stowell. In basketball our representa¬ tives were Earle McGrow, Bob Hathaway, Archie Huebsch, Ai Carroll, and Jim Corten. Another accomplishment of our Junior class was the annual play, BefcVNS at. S ,xA,een., Many of our classmates partici¬ pated in the production. The profits of the play and candy sales will contribute to the presentation of the Juni or-Senior Prom.

The students were all gathered in the assem¬ bly and were introduced to our teachers and appointed to our Home Rooms. Much noise and confusion followed as students hustled to their rooms. It was the first day of school., noted for new Fresh¬ men losing their way. Since the upper classmen were so helpful the freshies became quite accustomed to being little shots now, instead of big shots . We are quite proud when it comes to athletics, since we have many Freshmen on the second team in basketball. Some of these are: Robert Carstens, Jack Riggs, Bob Hayden, Robert Aim, Thayne Fleener, Joe Fleener, Charles Robinson, Chub Hall, and Robert Brown. Clubs open to Freshman are the Science Club, Latin Club, Home Ec Club, G. A. A., Ag Club and Press Club. We are well represent¬ ed in all of these. Our Sunshine Club representatives are Bob Hayden, Jack Weaver, Dick Ready and Gene Ashton. Sally Miller, Eva Hooley, Delos Shroyer, ana Margery Ashton represent us in Student Council. We waited until we were well acquainted before we elected our officers. They are Russell Zak, president- Margaret Bailey, vice president; and Frank Childress, secretary-treasurer. The Freshmen took a vote for the most courteous bov and girl in the class. Rosemary Sauer and Frank Childress won the honors. In the Lowellian contest the Freshman contestants v ere: Bev¬ erly Childress and Jack Weaver, best looking- Rosemary Sauer an Donald Dickerson, most popular; Marjorie Ashton and Bob Hayden, best athletes; and Mary Ha ' sse and Frank Childress, most likely to succeed.

Remember Pearl Harbor 1 Q4 2 Lowe Ilian Page 6g STUDENT COUNCIL Horbert Rosenwinkel Betty Hudson . Cecilia LaMotte. . .. President Vice-President . Secretary The Student Council is made up of representatives of the rec- oanized organizations in Lowell High School. The primary function of this body is to make decisions relative to school affairs. This year the Council considered such matters as the awarding of. a three year contract for class rings to the Herff-Jones Co . loi- tering in the halls, and awarding of a prize to the best decorated home-room at Christmas time. The requirements of membership to the Council are: (a) 9 grade of B or better in citizenship, (b) a scholastic avdrage of B and (c) a member of the organization which he represents. A mem¬ ber is subject to recall if his parent organization feels it is necessary. A member may be ejected if he fails to attend a meet¬ ing without a legitimate excuse. In addition to the regular member each organization elects an alternate whose duty it is to attend meetings in the absence of the permanent member. The council meets under the sponsorship of Mr. Brannock at regular intervals. Any member may introduce a measure into the Council for con— sideration. While the council does take action on various questions, its decisions are not final. All are subject to the veto of Mr. Bran- nock if he feels that the action taken is injurious to the common good of the school. Although the question passed through the Council becomes a rule, it is entirely unenforceable due to a means of administering them and imposing penalties on violators of the rule except to the extent that it is enforced by the teachers and by the self-control of the students themselves. In recognition of these weaknesses the eventual goal of the council is to reorganize into a body.consisting of a house of representatives and a senate. This will be done at a time when the students exhibit enough civic pride to organize a student- government .

Remember Pearl Harbor 9 42 Lowe Ilian Page 73 LOWELLETTE The L Weekly rolled off the press first on October 14, 1934 with Edwin VanNaaa as editor., and Mr. Ham and Mr. Smith as co¬ sponsors. By the second semester the paper became well founded with seventeen active members under the editorship of Harriet Wason. Marcia Shurte in 1935 took over the editorship with the as¬ sistance of Miss Scritchfield and Mr. Ham. That year the L Week¬ ly won the National Duplicated Paper Exchange ' s Superior Merit rating, the highest award attainable. In 1936 the L Weekly changed its name to the present name of Lowel1ette. That year the paper had 38 members on its staff by Paulette Eich. It was also during this year that the Lowellett was given the honor of having the N. D. P. A. use a page for their Idea Book. With Ruth Schutz as editor in 1937, Miss Landgrebe and Mr. Ham, sponsors, the Lowellette assumed the six page style; five pages were set up with three columns and the editorial page two columns. New typewriters made possible a variance in type style. In 1938 Jean Ragon edited the paper under the co-sponsorship- of Mr. Ham and Mr. Brentlinger. In 1939 the Lowellette was again sponsored by Mr. Brentlinger and Mr. Ham with Bonnie Felder as editor the first semester. In the mid-term the method of selecting the editor was changed from the selection by the sponsors to election by members of the staft. Georgene Schutz was the first editor elected under this ruling. ’ In 1940 and again in the spring of 1941, James Hunt was el¬ ected editor of the Lowel lette. In thisyear the Lowel lette con si s t ed of eight pages with one page given to editorials and the re¬ mainder of the paper for sports, news and features. Again this year the paper improved by’ the addition of a Vari-Typer to Mr. Ham ' s commercial department. During the fall of 1941 Seth McLellan was elected as leader of the paper with Mr. Ham and Mr. Brentlinger as sponsors. At the mid-term John Bardens was elected editor of the paper for the re¬ mainder of the year. Once more the paper underwent a change. To conserve paper for National Defense the paper was reduced to two sheets. Tne type was made smaller to compensate for the shorten¬ ing of the paper. The policy of the Lowellette thus far has been: to encourage more school spirit in all school activities, to inform the students in an unbiased way, and present student opinions, and to further good sportsmanship.

Seven years ago the first Lowellian was published by the Sen- ior class of 1935 under the sponsorship of Mr. Ham and Mr. Smith., and edited by Helen Dahl. Although it was small in comparison with those that have followed, it was merely the beginning ot what has proven to be a greater and better yearbook as each edition has been published. Bill Tatman was the editor of the 1938 Lowellian, and in the following year Joann Seer edited a greatly improved annual. Because of no suitable equipment the preceding yearbooks had lacked the finesse that art work lends. The addition of this equipment produced a very attractive and superior anhual. Marcia Keithley was editor of the Lowellian in ig38 and in the riP.ai? 9 year, under the leadership of Editor Adelia Ewer the 1939 Lowell¬ ian was highly honored by being granted superior rating by the National Duplicated Paper Association. Mary Angela Eich edited tn next yedrbook and in that edition the method of mounting the pic¬ tures and the manner of writing up the Senior Activities were changed. The Lowellian of last year inaugurated another great change. A picture of the school building and the graduating class took the place of the plain front cover. This Lowellian is the eighth annual to be published and con¬ siderable changes have been made which improve 11 • . , or , tne , 5 s .: time the pages are numbered and it is thus possible to have a thorough and complete Table of Contents. Plastic rlngs lnstead o regular binding have been introduced and we feel that this type or binding will become highly popular. Smaller type has been used so that a page contains more written work and thus conserves paper for National Defense. In reality, the 1942 Lowellian is larger in content than any preceeding annualj although it may seem smaller because of fewer pages. Because of the many graduates of Lowell High who are helping defend our peaceful way of life against the aggression of foreign powers, the Senior class thought it fitting to dedicate this Year¬ book to the alumni who are serving in the armed forces their country. We have tried to obtain pictures of them all and have dedicated a special page to them. Although all their pictures may not appear we have tried to mention all their names. In a ®£ora ance with this dedication, V for Victory was selected as the theme. As in former years the position of business ed to the person who sells the most subscriptions Alvina Scnreiber is this year ' s business manager is the fact that more annuals were sold this year The editor would like to express her appreciation to the mem¬ bers of the staff whose willing co-operation has helped so mueh in making this annual what it is today. Pictures of those who con tributed to the annual are found on the Lowellian otatr cage. Perhaps the greates amount of credit should go Brent 1inger and Mr. Ham who have generously given their the production of the 1942 Lowellian. We, the staff, sincerely hope that this yearbook, will fulfill the expectations of those who placed its production in our hands. We have worked to the best of our ability, to produce a Lowell i an which can take its place in the ranks of the preceeding annual publications. If this 1942 Lowellian brings back happy of their school days to our classmates, our efforts will be tully and splendidly repaid. manager is award- to the Lowellian.

This honorary journalistic society,, under the sponsorship of Mr. Brentlinger, the journalism instructor., joined the Quill and Scroll., a National Fraternity to further interest in journal¬ ism , in 1940. The Press Club and the journalism students supply material for the bi-weekly school-paper publication, the Lowellette, They also write the year-book, the Lowellian. Eligibility for staff positions on either of these publications is determined by the quality and quantity of work written during the year. Junior and Senior members are eligible to receive membership to the Quill and Scroll, depending on the amount of literature contributed. These awards are made on Honor Day, and gives members a subscription to the Quill and Scroll magazine, a bi-monthly pub¬ lication of a literary nature. 1942 makes the third year in which the Press Club has awarded an Honor Blanket to the outstanding Senior boy. This award, made on Honor Day, is based on scholastic ability, leadership, and in¬ terest in extra-curricular activities. This Blanket is one of the most important awards given, and the winner has always been a very outstanding boy. In ' 40, the first year it was awarded, the winner was Bob Sirois. In ' 41, Bill O ' Brien, president of the class, re¬ ceived the award. This year the Honor Blanket is red with black felt border and a large black chenille L in the center. The winner is chosen by a committee consisting of seven club members, the seven faculty members who have taught in Lowell High School the longest, and the principal. To promote interest in Basket-ball, the Club presented a trophy to the school to be kept in the trophy case. Each year the name of the player whose number and percentage of free-throws is greatest, shall be engraved on this trophy. The Press Club is one of the outstanding organizations of the school. Eligibility for membership is that the student maintains an A or B average, and has an active interest in Journalism. If financial conditions prove favorable, the club is planning to raise one dollar for each member who is admitted into the Quill and Scroll fraternity. This will cover half the initiation fee necessary to receive membership. This policy has been followed in former years. Usually four or five students receive membership each year from this chapter. Financial problems were solved this year by selling candy at the football ana basketball games. Another means of raising money was through a raffle sponsored by the Club. Five dollar and three dollar books of defense stamps were raffled off. Chances at one cent apiece were sold by the club members. Twenty seven new members were initiated into the club this year. The graduating members hope that the underclassmen will carry on the tradition, good work, and policies of the club.

Remember Pearl Harbor Pa ge 80 Lowe Ilian 1942 MUSIC APPRECIATION It has been recommended recently that people in general study music in the same spirit and from the same point of view as liter¬ ature is studied. One will know very little about music and musi¬ cal composers by merely attending a concert or listening to the radio. Music has much which lies below the surface and which can be ? ained only through study. Most students of high school age have elt the emotional appeal of music, but only a few understand its form and structure and ideas which ' underlie it. To give, simply, such an understanding is the purpose of this course, being given in high school. The first semester is devoted to composer ' s lives, their com¬ positions and to the study of the four instrumental choirs of the orchestra. Each instrument is demonstrated, and studied so as to help the class recognize its particular sound and shape when see¬ ing or hearing it played. The class is able to hear these instru¬ ments played by recordings. Works of all the great masters are also ployed. A scrapbook is kept by each student in which he en¬ ters whatever clippings he or she finds pertaining to instrumental music, and music in general. The second semester is devoted to the study of opera. Each great composer ana his operas are thoroughly studied so as to give the 3 tudeht a greater appreciation of the workings of the opera. It is planned for the students taking the course to travel to Chi¬ cago and hear one opera each season. The third and sixth period classes consist of Freshmen and Sophomore girls who wish to take Music Appreciation on the days that they do not have Physical Education. During the first semes¬ ter they take Music Appreciation three days a week and during the second semester they ' take Music Appreciation two days a week. There were thirty-eight girls enrolled in the two classes the first semester. There were seventeen Freshmen second semester and elev¬ en Sophomores. All Juniors and Seniors who are interested take Music Appre¬ ciation on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday during Activity period. Fifty-three mixed students were enrolled in this class. Next year it is hoped that one of the periods each day may be scheduled for a permanent Glee Club to meet. With this in mind the standard of singing will be raised and full time given to the Glee Club as it is given to the Band. Tryouts will be held at the beginning of each semester to se¬ lect the required voices. A Glee Club of about thirty voices is being planned for next year. Some of the benefits the students interested in the Glee Club will derive from learning correct posture, both standing and sit¬ ting, so as to enable the tone to be produced freely by the vocal muscles. A good standing posture is one in which the feet are slightly apart with one foot ahead of the other. They will learn that the body should be kept erect and the head held in a natural position, neither thrown back, nor pulled down toward the chest. The arms hang easily at the sides and the hands are clasped loosely in front of the waist. Sitting posture should maintain this erect position for the upper part of the body. They will also learn the correct breathing for tone quality and intonation. They will learn that there are two principles needed to be known abouf breath ac¬ tion, along with many other helpful ideals of good singing.

This enables a student to choose a subject in which he is interested and thus have a better chance of doing superior class work. These students are proving every day their ability to concen¬ trate and are attaining nigh grades by applying themselves rather than by any unusual mental powers. In compensation for the work throughout the yearj these stu¬ dents are awarded 10 honor points if they attain Distinguished rat¬ ing for six consecutive terms. If a student makes it for five times out of six they are given a pin. With the problems of rebuilding the world in the postwar periodj the distinguished st udents are setting a worthy example by providing themselves with a firm educational foundation., which should be followed by our entire generation.

Kitchell Hayden Dorothy Homfeld . President . Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer The present Ag Club was started in 1922 when the present teacherj Mr. J. E. Little was a senior. The teacher at that time was Ralph Dyler, who did much toward promoting the club and its activities. Teachers since then have included Mr. Dunbar., Mr. Holmes., and Mr. Todd. The number of teachers has not been numerous since the requirements for teaching Vocational Agriculture are rather high., and teachers are usually proven satisfactory. The early activities of the club were almost the same as they are now except that they were not so numerous. Requirements of a member is ana has been that he carry a project. A project may be the raising of wheat, corn, or other grain; the raising of chickens, or the care and feeding of calves and pigs. Either of these ac¬ tivities must be conducted entirely without help, except advice, and brought to a successful conclusion. There have always been a sufficient number of members in the class. Classes have ranged all the way from 20 to 30 at various times. To enter, a student must also pass an initiation which varies with the imagination of the committee. Boys are usually requested to carry a milk pail and stool, or perhaps wear overalls or other embarrassing paraphernalia. This year, for the first time in the history of the Ag Club, two girls have been admitted. This is the first time girls have found farming interesting enough to register as members. They are commended for their interest in one of the biggest industries in the United States. We hope they will be successful in their en¬ deavor. The Ag Club has established several records worth mentioning. Members of the club took first in the spring of 1934 in Dairy Judging for this district. In the spring of 1935 they hung up another victory with a Blue Ribbon in Livestock. In 1938-39, their team placed first in grain judging for the Muck Crop Dis¬ trict contest held in Kendallvi1le, Indiana. Several of the mem¬ bers of the club. Competition also is fostered between the members of the club. A local pest contest is held. A prize is awarded to the person bringing in the most vermin pelts, and birds of certain varieties, which destroy crops and are a nuisance to the farmer. Each year the Ag Club takes several trips. When the Ag Club was first founded the trips were taken by train. Now the trips are taken by bus. Several of the places visited are Union Stock Yards, Chicago; Farm Bureau Fertilizer Plant, Hammond Arcady Feed Plant, Chicago; Purdue University, Lafayette; Board of Trade, Chi¬ cago; and Illinois University, Urbana. The Ag Club is now anticipating giving up its local name and enlisting in the National organization of Future Farmers of Ameri¬ ca. It is an important step and is debated heatedly. No decision or agreement for entering the national organization has as yet been initiated. Remember Pearl Harbor Page 86 Lowe Ilian 19 2 SCIENCE CLUB John Hardens ardens yier. . ' resident ' resident reasurer osenw inkel aHotte .... ounc i l To further the interest of Science in Lowell High School, the Science Club was organized in 1914. The following year it became a Member of the Junior Academy or Science, a state science organ¬ ization, which enables members to present and display at the State Academy of Science, any scientific project which they may have worked on and satisfactorily completed during the year. Special awards are given to deserving projects. Membership of our unit in the Junior Academy of Science gives us the privilege of awarding each year to our four outstanding members a pin of the Junior Academy of Science. These pins are presented on Honor Day by the Club, with the approval of tne spon¬ sor. Mr. Selett. The kind of pin a member receives depends on the r - ■ __ tfon the award, he mav receive either ree years) pin. To maintain it3 highest aim the promotion of student interest in science, a rather strict qualification for entrance into the club is held. The student must maintain an A or B average in studies, and must have had two years of Science, or be taking a science dourse during the current year. Initiations were held this year in the gymnasium after a wein- er roast given by the Club in Oakland Park. Membership is approx¬ imately 45 for the years of ' 41 and 42. Reports given at the meetings this year were mostly concerning electricity or biological material. The annual trip taken by the Club was to the Rosenwald Insti¬ tute of Science ana Industry. All the members of the Club were f resent, and it was a very interesting and educational experience. ome of the exhibits visited were the Theatre of Light, Coal Mine, High Frequency, Travel Exhibit, Engineering Exhibit, Model Rail¬ road, ana Publication Department. By selling candy and magazine subscriptions the Science Club netted over $60 this year. These magazine sales were made for the Curtis Publishing Company, and Daisy Walters, who sold the most ($J0 worth), received prizes from bofh the Publishing Company and the Club. UBing $40 of their $60, the Science Club purchased an Oscillo¬ scope for the school. It is a machine through which you talk, and by means of a cathode ray, these sound waves are transmitted onto a screen. In this way the spesker is actually able to see how his voice sounds and looks. The annual Open House display consisted of many and various demonstrations. The Science room was roped off so that a continu¬ ous stream of spectators were able to see the displays. Norbert Rosenwinkel and Robert Crisler gave a high frequency demonstration in which a current of electricity passed through the human body to light a bulb. Other demonstrations were electrical motors by George Stowell, aviation and gas model planes bv John Bardens, ana the breaking down of starches by Paul Dierks ana Bill Huston. Ending the year in true Lowell High fashion, the Science Club held a picnic as a final get-together for the scientists of our s choo1.

' rown Sec re Vice-P tary-T President president Treasurer The Latin club of Lowell High School was organized to pro¬ mote an interest in the study of Latin,, and the study of the dress and the manners of the Romans. The Club was sgartei in 1939 with Miss Pendleton as sponsor. Any student wishing to become a member of the club must be taking Latin or have completed two vears of Latin. During the first year Herbert Rawlings was elected President,, Seth McLellan Vice-President, Nancy Spindler Secretary-Treasurer., and John Bardens Student Council member. Since then the Latin Club has become one of the most active clubs in the school. With the suggestion of Miss Pendleton., the members selected the name Societas Latina ., which means Latin Society. But later the club had lost its name because the name Latin Club seemed more common to everyone. The first part of all the regular mee tings is devoted to short business transactions and the remainder of the meeting is spent playing Latin games. The activities of the club are varied., some of which are: g iving Latin plays at the regular meetings, singing carols in atin at Christmas time, and all initiations for new members into the club are done in a Latin manner. This club does not take school time to enjoy pleasure trios, but at the end of the school year the club members look forward to their annual picnic, which is generally held within walking dis¬ tance of Lowell High School. The club members were brought together in 1941 with Robert Crisler, President; Nanette Berg, Vice-President; Mary Ellen Hawkinson, Secretary-Treasurer; ana Robert Ewer as Student Council member. The enrollment was about fifty two. With an enrollment of around fifty members in the club, everyone assembled to begin the year of 1942. Our officers are Robert Ewer. President; Nanette Berg, Vice-President- Mary Ellen Hawkinson, Secretary-Treasurer and Norbert Rosenwinkel as Student Council member.

I shall never disgrace myself or our club by showing unsportsmanlike conduct. The G. A. A. club shall always receive my utmost consideration and co-operation., I shall endeavor to apply xt in the pursuit of leisure time. I shall do all in my power to promote the interests of the G, A. A. This is the oath taken by girls coming into the G. A. A. and it is followed to the utmost. In 1929 the Red and Green Pepper Clubs were organized in Lowell High School for the purpose of encouraging loyaltyj co¬ operation; and sportsmanship among the girls participating in athletics. Because the two clubs were so closely related they were united in 1934 under the name Red Pepper Club. In 1941 under the leadership of Miss McKenzie the Red Pepper Club was dissolved into the G- A.

Senior girls receiving a total of 1700 points are awarded a chenille letter and those obtaining 2100 afe given a white sweater. Points required for Juniors are 1800 and 22pp. Points required for Sophomores and Freshman are 1900 and 2300. The girls of following classes will be required to earn the same amount of points. The outstanding girl athlete of the year is given a che¬ nille chevron; while the Senior girl who is proclaimed the best athlete for four years has her name engraved on a bronze statue. Plans are now under way to add the newly organized Hiking Club to the G. A. A. No points will be given., however, for the addition of this club. The G. A. A. sponsors two social events during the year, a formal dance held near the end ef school., to honor all the ath¬ letes., boys and girlSj and a Mothers Tea., held in May,, when all mothers of the students are honored. The Athletic Dance was for¬ merly limited to just athletes and members of the G. A. A. But now it has been made open to the whole school. With the exception of the Prom the Athletic Dance is the only other formal school dance. Various raffles, including the raffle of a portable radio, candy sales at both football and basketball games, selling of boosterets; selling of hot dogs and coffee at the football games were scattered through out the year, the profits of which go to ward purchasing the awards presented on Honor Day and to give the Athletic Dance and Mothers Tea. v Remember Pearl Harbor Page 92 Lowellxan 1M1 HOME EC CLUB Nona Vicory. . . Ruth Edmondson Jean Little... . President . Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Vice-P : tary-T The Home Ec Club which was organized in 1940 with Miss Amy Perry as advisor was organized for the purpose of inspiring a beneficial interest in Home Economics and Home Economic vocations both in high school and in later life., and for the general better¬ ment of Lowell High School. To become a member of the club a student must maintain a specified grade average and have already completed a one year course of Home Economics or be taking Home Ec at the time of mem¬ bership. This club is primarily for girls but a boy will not be barred from joining if he meets the requirements. During the three years which the club has been organized,, there has been only one boy to meet the requirements. The Lowell Home Ec Club joined the State Club in 1940 and in 1941 sent Martha Gene Edmondson and Adelia Ewer to act as repre¬ sentatives of the Lowell branch to the Annual Convention of the State Club which took place in Indianapolis. October 27. Both E irls returned with many helpful ideas on now to improve the owell Club. As in 1940 and 1941, the Home Ec Club in 1942., with Miss Julia Burton as its new sponsor., proved to be successful and for a new club of fifty members accomplished much thoughout the year. Marjorie Childress was chosen as Student Council member. The new addition on Lowell High School made it possible for the old band room to be provided for the Home Ec Club and classes. Before this year the Cafeteria was the Home Ec room. The Club this year did most of its progressive work through co-operative committees and one of the Club ' s greatest achieve¬ ments in 1942 was to beautify the newly acquired Home Ec room with new curtains., pictures., wall plaques, and potted plants. The girls take great pride in their room and together with Miss Burton they arrange the furniture to suit them. For the annual Open House display., the Club cooperated with the two Home Ec classes and arranged a combined nursery and lounge in the Home Ec room. The age limit on the nursery was two to seven years, and as this was a new experiment, the girls for two weeks before that night studied child care and made the toys to be used that night. The Club usually takes two trips (educational and pleasure), each year, one each semester, but this year due to the shortage of tires, the club only went on one trip. They visited the Walgreen Drugstore Manufacturing Company and the Mars Candy Kitchens, in Chicago. Also during the year the Home Ec Club was honored sever¬ al times by being asked by the Ag Club to be their guests at the different Ag Parties. The Home Ec Club and the Ag Club went on a sleigh ride February 2., with the Ag bovs providing the sleigh and the Home Ec girl3 furnishing the refreshments which were served at the Homfeld farm. Attired in pastel formals on May 1, 1942, the officers of the Home Ec Club assisted the S. A. A. officers in serving at Mother’s Tea. It is due to the combined efforts and co-operation of the cn, and the club members that the club was an out- this past year of 1942. Remember Pearl Harbor 191 2 . LoweIlian Page 93 SENIOR CUSS PLAY June Mad by Florence Ryerson Clarence Clements DIRECTED BY DORIS ROSE It was June Mad in more ways than one for the Senior Class play cast, for they had a good many mad days in their attempts to depict the glamour of the theatre on April 24. A metamorphosis was performed by director Miss Doris Rose who changed Shirley Hepp. a naturally average senior-girl, into an emotionally upset ana hair-brained young adolescent—Penny Wood. Seth McLellan was transformed from a versatile and carefree athlete into a studious and thoughtful young man who lived next door to Penny. Chuck Harris, as Seth was called, was Penny ' s pal and glider fan.“ Mrs. Wood, a typically American mother, somewhat bewildered and doubtful about her love-struck off-spring, was carried off superbly by one who knows how it ' s done—June Ebert. The Wood ' s hired-hand and man-of-al1-work, Elmer Tuttle, was played by easy-going Garland Fish. Effie, Elmer ' s shy and out-sooken girl friend, was played bv Janet Fedler. Effie was the Wood s maid—a capable, but confused speciman of young womanhood, Merwyn Roberts was Penny ' s Uncle, and a sophomore in college. He was a shv trust-worthv young man and depicted verv well by Jim Hayden. Relentlessly pestering Merwyn and gushing over him all thru the play was over-affectionate, Milly Lou—played by Harriet Ras- h ig. Dashing, debonair, and worldly-wise Roger van Vleck was Mer- wyn ' s pal, the object of all of Penny ' s unbridled affections, and an all-round woman ' s man who v as very fond of himself and show¬ ed it. This young millionaire play-Doy was portrayed by Gene Korth. Dr. Wood, Penny ' s hard working, practical father, was our own versatile Ralph Schafer. Chuck ' s domineering and strong-willed father, a man who at this late date discovered he ' s somewhat handsome, was played by John Bardens. Merwyn ' s girl-friend, Julia Harris, was a young college girl, typical of most any of the younger generation. She loved Merwyn, but Roger van Vleck succeeded in fascinating and flattering Julia into doubting her own mind. Julia is portrayed by Irene Horner. Penny ' s wild escapades and her troublesome antics nearly drove her family and friends frantic—but you wouldn’t be able to dislike her because she was such a real American girl and really does mean well. The entire cast deserves great praise for their wonderful co¬ operation and work in making June Mad one of the best comedies ever presented at Lowell High. So to you.

Naturally, confusion results, Paul and his twin sister., Frannie, are two energetic youths of 16 who have a major interest in a secret club called the Se¬ cret Seven . With the aid of his fellow club members Paul decides to modernize his father ' s store by putting on a sale with an or¬ chestra, live models, handbills and all the trimmings. An unexpected turn of events causes a delay in the proposed E lans f«r the store when Paul becomes interested in a love affair etween his older sister. Marjorie, and a wel1-to-do-man-about- town, Crandal Smythe. After a serious meeting, the Secret Seven with Paul as president, the club sets out to prove that Crandal Smvthe is a racketeer. To add to the complications they decide to celebrate the success of their plans by having a ball. The day of the big sale arrives but it proves to be a fashion show rather than a sale and Paul ' s big idea is shattered. The girls of the club insist that the ball be held anyway and so every member comes, a little worse for wear because of the tiring work of the sale. Love enters as we witness a sweet and sparkling romantic affair between Frannie and Theo Arbuckle, an¬ other member of the Secret Seven , Paul ' s suspicions about Crandal Smythe seem to be correct but while trying to get conclusive evidence Fattie Zimmer receives a black eye and decides that he has had enough of the Secret Sev¬ en. Daisie, Boots, and Pidgie decide that they too have tired of the club and it appears that the ball will not be a success. Instead of success, Paul ' s efforts have brought apparent dis¬ aster enhanced by the unexpected return of Mr. and Mrs. Hollis. But fate steps in and turns the tables in a satisfactory manner. Mr. Hollis gets an offer from a company to pay five thousand dol¬ lars.more for the store than he had ever dreamed of asking. The cashier at the bank identifies Crandal Smythe as a man wanted for forgery—and all of the former members come back and beg Paul to again accept the position as president of The Secret Seven.

The three graduating students have their names engraved on an Honor Plaque in the main hall and re¬ ceive special recognition at Commencement. This society was organized in 1937 with the paramount purpose of encouraging students to become good citizens by participating in extra-curricular activities and working harder at their studies. Points are awarded to students who participate in clubs, teams, and the like. If they should be chosen to an office in a club, class, or captain of a varsity team they receive from 1 to 10 pointSj the number chosen by the sponsor or coach according to the ' student ' s ability and accomplishments. Members of class plays, cheer leaders, and Distinguished and Honorable Mention students also receive points.

When the society was first organized in 1937 it was intended that some day the local organization would affiliate with the national organization. Because of present conditions, however, the faculty has decided that for the time being, at least, we will not join. Instead the Student Council and faculty plans to work out an even more satisfactory local organization; one in which every student will have a chance to share even more in the honors. Students who have, in the past, proved themselves outstanding are Harold Kenney, Paulette Eicn and Charles Bowman in 1937; Bill Combs, Mary Tatman, and Lois Felder in 1938; Adelia Ewer in 1939: Mary Angela Eich, Bonnie Felder, and Doris wason in 1940; Harriet Peterson, Faye Tyler, and James Hunt in 1941.

The Red Devils were expected to receive a trimming but instead held their own against overwhelming odds. Carlson was the boy that kept Horace Mann in trouble. They found him a hard man to stop on his plunges. Lowell was deep into Horace Mann ' s territory two times but found a brick wall of Horace Mann men in the way of a touchdown. Horace Mann scored on a series of drives. They started from their own 35 and went on down the field to score. After that the Lowell squad tightened up and stopped them cold. Lowell 28—Griffith 1A It was the Red Devils ' first home appearance of the season on September 12 when they defeated the Panthers of Griffith. The Lowell team was out to make a good showing after losing to Horace Mann 6 to O. Novak scored 13 points and Randolph received a pass from Novak to ga 50 yards for a score. Brownell., acting captain., recovered a blocked punt on Griffith ' s goal line to score. KalvaitiSj Carlson., and Combs scored an extra point each. Lowell showed their strength in that opening game. Later in the season Lowell proved to be just as tough as they made them¬ selves look in this first home game. Lowell 13—Crown Point 0 The Lowell Red Devils tore into the Bulldogs in the first quarter at Crown Point September 19 to defeat them 13 to O. It was a sweet victory for the Red Devils but Crown Point remembered the defeat and came back in the second scheduled game to defeat the Red Devils at Oakland Park. Lowell recovered a punt blocked by Randolph on the Crown Point 4 yard line, and Carlson plunged over for the first touchdown. Kalvaitis scored the extra point. Again the Red Devils drove from their own 45 yard line to a touchdown. Novak scored the touchdown but failed at the conversion for extra point. Lowell 1A—Hobart 13 In Lowell ' s last Little Four Conference game they defeated the Hobart Brickies 14 to 13 to clinch the conference title at Hobart. It is the first time the Red Devils have been the Little Four Champs in its four years of competition. In Lowell ' s usual manner they scored the first touchdown by power plays. Leo Novak drove over from the 7 yard line. Carlson made the extra point. Once more Lowell scored late in the third quarter. Carlson and Novak made the yardage down to the 2. yard line where Novak plunged over. It was Rosej of Hobart., who kept the Lowell team in trouble with his speed gallops around end. Remember pFe a r l Harbor Page 106 Lowe Ilian mi It was a game Hobart will always remember., for it was their only Little Four Conference defeat of the season. Lowell 33—Rensselaer 0 The Red Devils went to Rensselaer., October 3, with revenge on their minds for the two previous losses to the Bombers. The Red Devils went home with a score of 33 to O and a feeling of the .previous ■ defeats evened up. Leo Novak, who played his best offensive game of the year, s ' tarted the evening by running back the kick-off 90 yards to score. Leo scored 25 points in this game, using his speed to out-run the Bombers. Lefty Carlson played a great game making many yards up and down the field. Randolph scored a touchdown on a quarter—back sne.ak. Kalvaitis and .Carlson scored one extra point each. Lowell 20—Pullman Tech 7 Lowellj defeated them 15 pounds to eleven. Early in Carl ' son failed in their first game with Pullman Tech of Chicago, at Oakland Park October 10. Tech outweighed Lowell the man, but it made no difference to the Lowell t ouchdown. the first quarter Novak ran 42 yards to a to make the extra point. It was Peterson ' s recovery of a blocked punt that put Lowell in a scoring position. Kalvaitis scored from the 4 yard line and Novak scored the extra point. Late in the third quarter Randolph, on a quarterback sneak, went over from the 12 yard line. Carlson scored the extra point. Lowell proved, in this game, that they were really a good team and were not just lucky. Lowell 30—Jeff of Lafayette 25 The Red Devils upset the football critics by defeating the Jefferson Broncs on Lowell ' s home field October 17. ihe Red Devil rose to the heights and played a super game of ' football. Red Devil trickery turned the tide for Lowell. The Jefferson game was the outstanding game of the season. The whole team was clicking with passes playing the important role. Carlson received 2 passes, one for 35 yards and the other tor 73 yards, both times scoring on the plays. Leo also passed to Ran¬ dolph good for 40 yards. Kalvaitis went over from the 15 yard line. Novak scored two touchdowns by going down the field on wide-around end plays. The game was a game of skill and not of muscle. Carl¬ son made Lowell ' s other spectacular play of the season in this game. Lefty caught a 50 yard pass from Novak and ran 27 yards tor a touchdown. It was a sleeper play and it caught Jeff napping. Despite the rain Lowell, during the last five minutes of play held their five point lead. Lowell 13—Crown Point 33 The Bull Dogs came to Lowell October 22 to hand Lowell their second defeat of the season. In a typical Crown Point—-Lowell game, the Bull Dogs were ' able to get revenge upon the Red Devils. Lowell scored first in the early part of the first quarter, Crown Point scored twice, one in the first and again in the second. Remember Pearl Harbor L9A1 Lowe Ilian Page 107 The Red Devils trailed at the half 7 to 14. Lowell came back after the half to tie the score. Crown Point bounced right back to go into the lead again. And once more Lowell tied the score. But Crown Point wasn ' t to be beaten that night. For they scored two more touchdowns to end the game., Crown Point 33., Lowell 19. It was sweet revenge for the Bull Dogs to upset Lowell in this manner. Lowell 7—Valvo 7 Lowell closed their football season by tying the Valparaiso Vikings at Valpo, October 31. The game was played in a steady downpour of rainj making it impossible for either team to display their skill. The Vikinys scored first in the second quarter. They used power plays mainly and reverses. Lowell came back after the half to score. The Red Devils came out the second half with their mud cleaned off and went to the march from Valpo ' s own 22. Randolph caught Valpo sleeping and went over to score on a quarter—back sneak. He did the same thing for the extra point. The game ended in a muddy tie of seven to seven.

North Judson played host to the thinly-clads April 21 and met with a humiliating defeat as Lowell scored 86f to the Blue Jays 22f.

The low hurdles were run in :25 by Kazaluski of Hobart. The other record was shattered in the high jumpbyTruett clearing the bar at 5 ' 11 3 4 . Compared to the size of schools met by Lowell the Thinly- Clads had a pretty successful season. The loss of middle distance runners through graduation was the main cause for Lowell ' s defeats.

Intramural sports are closely related to the girls Athletic Association, due to the fact that the points needed to gain admit¬ tance to the club are earned by participation in the int ramural sports. However, every girl, whether she is a G. A. A. member or not, is welcome to participate and many non-members play. Teams are composed of from six to eleven members, depending upon the sport. Captains are elected after the first few practices and they select their first and second teams. Four practices are reguirea to be eligible for either team. After practice games in which each class plays every other class, the tournament begins. This year the tournaments were round-robin, providing each team, by competing with the other three, with a greater chance of suc¬ cess. Competition runs high in each sport, with all teams bent on winning the championship. In spite of the rivalry, good sportsman¬ ship is held uppermost in the minds of the players. Major sports played this year were speedball, hit-pin base¬ ball, volley-ball, basketball, mass aerial dart, baseball, and track. Minor sports were also popular this year with elimination tournaments held in badminton, ping-pong, box-hockey, and deck ten¬ nis. These are individual sports and a greater number of girls participated this year than in any previous year. The Sophomores showed their supremacy by winning the most major sports tournaments with the Juniors close behind. In the individual tournaments, Shirley Peterson was deck tennis champ; Emogene Nelson, a freshman, took ping-pong; Marie Friday was cham¬ pion in box-hockey; and Marie Govert won tne badminton tourney. The old problem of whether boys can beat girls at the girls’ game was finally settled. Hit-pin baseball, always a popular sport enjoyed more attention than ever this year as the excitement dur¬ ing the girls tournament reached fever pitch. The Sophomores even¬ tually triumphed but the best was yet to come. The Senior boys challenged the champions, and dressed in girls gym suits and knee socks, encountered the girls the following day. A hilarious game was played with the boys edging out the girls by two points. The game was so popular with the students that the faculty challenged the Sophomore champions following the volley-ball tour¬ nament. The girls again went down in defeat. Girls intramural sports are becoming more popular each year withboth active and inactive girls. The girls who participate realize the aid exercise gives in developing and preserving good health and this is becoming more evident to all girls who have never before entered into intramurals. Sports heads have been elected for next year. The heads are Marie Friday, speedball; Rose Schafer, hit-pin baseball; Bonnie Brownell, basketball; Sally Miller, aerial dart; Emogene Nelson, individual sports; Faith Stark, volleyball; Virginia Clark, base¬ ball; and Sally Ploetz, track. After each tournament in eacn sport is held, a sports ' spread will be given honoring the winning team. Sports neads will be in charge of these everts which are to in¬ clude something to eat, something to drink with a bit of dancing or entertainment.

That means about 45% of the subscribers for the Lowellian cast their votes, about 11 teen per cent less than the national average during the last presi¬ dential election.
