I was awakened by the phone at 6 a.m. and was surprised to hear the voice of a very good friend and schoolmate, Sally Gullstrom, the noted dietician. Sally wanted to spend her day off with me ana naturally I was delighted to have her. I jumped out of my plastic bed and started to dress. I was very surprised to notice that on the label in my spun steel dress was De¬ signed by Helen Runyon, Exclusive. I never dreamed Helen could settle down enough to design a dress. No sooner had I gotten dressed than Sally arrived. We ate breakfast on my penthouse terrace and she told me of the classmates she had met on a rocket ship tour around the world. In Russia, she looked up Arman Kasparian, the Tsar. He married Imelda Scheidt and they are living happily in Kaspergrad, thenew capi tol of Russia. She said that Charles Hatch, the new Fred Astaire has a new dancing partner, who is also his wife—Reba Creekmur. It was by a supr diet that he lost enough weight to dance. By the time my maid, Mary Taylor, had cleared away the dishes, I had told her about the wedding of Jack Lacy and Joanne Albertson. Jack is a famous brain surgeon and Joanne is his secretary. They had a beau¬ tiful wedding in the little Church Around the Corner. I also told her about meeting Jane Kimmet modeling children ' s clothes at the Macy Depart¬ ment Store. Ruth Souder, who started her journalism career in high school, is now editor of the New York Times and Earl Grelck i 3 a copy boy for the same paper. Sally is now a red T head and I inquired, to find that she had met Phyllis Viers, a beautician, in Paris and she did it. Phyllis is also a red-head and Joan King, her partner in the beauty salon, grew to be S ' 9 . Their salon is located on the beautiful Rue de la Paix where they specialize in bringing out the natural redness in their customers ' hair. After talking for hours, we decided to go shoppingi On the way down, we discovered that the new elevator boy was none other than Dick Meyer. The last I heard of him he was a millionaire, but it seems his financial worries were many and he gave his money away and took this job. He informed us he was going to marry Darlene Cox, the telephone girl in the building, and they were going to the roof for their honey¬ moon in the near future. When we reached the corner newsstand, the newsboy. Bill Zehme, was shouting, Extryi Extryi presiderit McGraw impeached] Read all about it! McGraw impeached]! He was talking about Mildred McGraw whb was elected President in 1964. Quickly purchasing a paper we discovered that Bar¬ bara Schneider, speaker of the House, had Drought up the impeachment proceedings because Millie had refused to sign a bill making Hawaii a state. Th_ paper said the reason was that Millie ' s ex-husband. Bill Rust, lived tnere. She has been married five times. Her second husband Jack Vanco, died of poisoning. It is believed that Mildred caused this, but no one has been able to prove it because she was a chemist before her election and it is thought that she discovered a new poison. Her third husband, Paul Norris, sued her for divorce because she wouldn ' t put him in her Cabinet. Eugene Phillips, her fourth husband, committed nari-kari. Her fifth husband is still living—a brave man that Virgil Steuer. Overwhelmed by this news, we stopped in the nearest drugstore for a coke and noticed a sign which read Amtsbuechler ' s Pharmacy. The wait¬ ress said that Miss Amtsbuechler owned a chain of drugstores since she had made her millions. Flossie married Roger Childress and he goes by the name of Mr. Florence Amtsbuechler. While drinking our cokes we noticed an advertisement in a newspaper read, Tyler ' s Follies -The Eight Most Beautiful Girls in the • T }£-- Now Appearing at the Stork Club. Reading on we found that the eight beauties were; Gladys Anderson, Mary Conner, Betty Huebsch, Jackie foross, Cornne Hufnagel, Joan and Sally Little, and Marge Miller. As an added attraction—the Callahan sisters would De doing a song and dance routine. The Tyler who is manager of these Follies is the one and only Lrnest. Sally reminded me that Ernest and Jean Roseberry eloped in 1949. Since Sally wanted to visit the zoo, we hurried to catch a rocket Taxi that would get us to the Bronx Zoo in two seconds. After landing in the parking lot we walked to the main building which had a sign read¬ ing., Bronx Zoo—Virgil Ewer., Director. Ambling on we came to an empty cage and above the door was a sign reading., This cage will be used for a handa. Being puzzled we asked a guard what a handa was. He then told us the whole story. Mr. Ewer, well-known hunter, had gone to China in search of the hanaa, cross be¬ tween a horse and a panda. While in Hwanz, Virgil met an old friend. Joyce Doolittle, who was working as a missionary there. They were so happy to see each other that it was love at second sight and they were married. Joyce is now helping Virgil in his search. We journeyed to Rockefeller Center and as it was early, the scrub lady v as still working. W’alking toward the elevator, we tripped over a mop and discovered the worker to be none other than Geraldine Childress. She tola us that Gerhardt Hahn was the head janitor and they were married in the furnace room soon after she started working there. A ft® r l eav ir.g the Center we passed a huge undertaking establish¬ ment. there was an enormous fyon (new type of neon) billboard which read, Jack Schutz, The Cheerful Undertaker. Walking from the estab¬ lishment was Jack himself and with him was a tall, dark, slender woman. She looked vaguely familiar but I couldn ' t place her. Jack, noticing our bewilderment; told us she was his wife, the former Estolme White- house. People do changel! Going on down the street we saw a curio shop. We decided to stop and see if the shop contained real curios or whether it was just junk. There reaily were some curios- things I hadn ' t seen for years—a model ot a B_29, canned foods, an electric stove—just imagine, an old-fash- i on ed electric stove. Some of those first plastics. This stuff was really old. As we were reminiscing, a clerk came to wait on us. You ' ve guessed it. It was another class-mate, Laura Ann Smith. She told us that she married Gene Hayden in ' 48. At that time, he managed a hard- ware store in their city. Business was poor and eventually all the stock became curios so they changed the name and now business is boom¬ ing. We inquired about other classmates and whe told us that Joe Abra¬ ham, the famous construction engineer, hadmarried Jean Vinnedge and they have eight children. She is still as beautiful as ever and now tours the world as the most beautiful mother in the country. We stopped at a bookstore for Sally wanted to get a copy of Marri¬ age is No Picnic an anti-marriage book by Dorothy Hayden. Dorothy had been married to Bill Peterson but now they are divorced. The owners of the shop proved to be Dale Turner and his wife, the former Bonnie Ken — ney. They,have seventeen children; sextuplets, quadruplets, triplets, and two pairs of twins—quite a family. As we were leaving the book store, Sally was knocked down by a man ceasing a little boy. The man was Donald Barr, who had become a truant otticer and at the time he was chasing a truant. He informed us that Harriet Hilzley became his wife in 1950 and that she spent her spare time weaving steel rugs. Hopping into a heliomobile we headed for the East side. Here there were fish markets, fruit and vegetable venders and everything was in a state of confusion. Hearing a familiar voice, Sally and I walked to one ot the fish markets. Here, the proprietor, Ed McCarthy was shouting. Buy vour pickled herring here) Ed ' s wife, the former Dean Dixon, was was also glad to see us. It was hard to believe this person was Dean for she now weighs 385 pounds. Being quite thirsty, 3ally and I returned to town for a cocktail, we stopped in a small cocktail lounge where Betty Nomanson was tending the bar. Alice Poppe was the owner of the lounge and her husband is Ray Osburn, who had a terrible time keeping his money. Alice manages the business while Ray keeps house. Sally and I were practical so we boarded a heliomobile and were Bob Berg and his wife, th football coach at Notre Dame South Bend for spring training. As the great day came to a close we were very tired but happy that we had seen so many friends, and fell into a deep peaceful slumber on our spun glass pillows. ly exhausted now from so much gadding , headed back to mv apartment. On the bus e former Thelma warren. Bob is now the and he and Thelma were on their way to SENIOR HISTORY Four score minus seventy-six years ago. our poor-fathers brought forth into this institution—of learning-us-the class of ' 46. One hun¬ dred and fifteen freshmen timidly found their way from class to class. Later after we had become better acquainted we elected our class officers — Roger Childress, president; Margaret Stahl, vice-president; and Virgil Ewer, secretary-treasurer. Albertson, Viers, Ewer and Little were in Student Council to represent the fresnies. In the Lowellian contest Joanne Albertson and Art Shultz were voted best-looking freshman girl and boy. Barbara Schneider and Dick Meyer were most popular, andSally Little and Arman Kasparian were the battling athletes. Our brainy characters were Norma Worley and Roger Childress. To lead us through our second year we chose Roger Childress as chief guide with Virgil Ewer as his assistant and Bill Peterson to keep the supplies in order. That was when we ordered our sweaters, and brown and gold were to be our class colors. . Albertson and Meyer were the ones we took lessons from on how to beautify ourselves this year. The How To Win Friends department was handled by Viers and Childress. Little and Kasparian gave us our sitting- up exercises. The brains were dished out by Norris and Souder. On that September morn in ' 44 freshmen and sophomores were to be seen scampering for safety—the juniors had invaded the school. Maybe as sophomores we had been quiet but we certainly had changed. In a rather noisy session Sally Little was elected to lead us, with Dick Meyer as her chief attendant. Bill Peterson was to keep the records straight, and Virgil Ewer had charge of the finances. By this time Schutz, Kasparian, and Abraham had earned well deserved ? laces on the football team. Norris andKasparian were tipping in baskets o keep up the good name of our class. That year in the Loioellian contest Little and Kasparian again prov¬ ed to be trie best athletes. Nor ri s and Worl ey the most likely to succeed, Albertson and Meyer, the best looking, and Schneider and Childress the most popular. In December of ' 44 we threw ourselves industriously into giving the junior play. We chose Junior Miss as the production and began working to smooth out the rough places. McCarthy, Callahan, Drew, Gullstrom, Taylor, Runyon, Albertson. Abraham, Souder, Meyer, Hayden, pavek. Schutz Peterson, Lacy, Rust, ana Kasparian were those who gave their time and made the play a smash hit. For a time we all went around considering ourselves ready for the Broadway stage but soon the plans for the prom pushed everything aside. We came back to school a different class. We had seen the end of the war-our country had just passed through a scene in history that will remain fixed in all our minds. Ewer was to lead our class this year while Peterson was second in command and Norris was to take records and have charge of finances. When Paul went to Purdue after the first sem¬ ester, Souder took his place. Kasparian, Abraham, Hatch, Rust, Meyer, Schutz and Peterson proved themselves tough opposition on the football field. The seniors were mighty proud of their football team. Kasparian, Norris, and Rust were on the starting five in basketball ahd their size and speed was well appreciated by all except those who felt defeat at the hands of Lowell. Jeannie Vinnedge and Bill Zehme were voted best-looking in the Lowellian contest, Sally Little and Arman Kasparian best athletes, Paul Norris and Sally Gullstrom most likely to succeed, and Joanne Albertson and Roger Chuldress most popular. Seventeen was chosen for the senior play. Miss Thompson chose the cast and we began work. Of course along with the hard work was fun, too. The cast who worked in order to present this was Ed McCarthy, Pat Callahan, Roger Childress, Bill Peterson, Joanne Albertson, Mary Taylor, Barbara Schneider, Virgil Ewer, Dick Meyer, Arman Kasparian, Charles Hatch. Sally Gullstrom, and Joyce Doolittle. The usual things that seem to fill a senior ' s life were exciting adventures to us. We posed for our pictures, chose our announcements ana invitations, and were measured for our caps and gowns. This year, because we felt that since we were the first class to graduate in this new peace, we should have something appropriate, so we chose white caps and gowns to signify our hope of purity for the world. HONOR SOCIETY f — nt ■ a - :r e - earned by participation in clubs, organizations, and different activities in the school throughout the year. Three mem¬ bers Irom each class receive awards on honor day for having acquired the highest number. by ea The year ' s winners and the approximate number of honor points earned ch are as follows: Seniors Ruth Souder Bill Rust Arman Kasparian ' 43 8 ' 44 12 21 23 ' 45 20 n •46 58 51 49 Total 98 97 90 Juniors Gladys Stasait1s Barbara Bailey Marcella Futhey 3 ° 26 24 46 26 24 53 44 40 120 Sophomores Robert Coloney Lois Little Phyllis Sutton 17 22 13 30 24 23 47 4 % 36 Freshmen Marilyn Hayden Jeanette Randolph Jo Ann Brownell 30 23 22 30 23 22 Those seniors acquiring the most points in their four years of school are Roger Childress 113., Sally Little HO, and Geraldine Childress 107.

JUNIOR PLAY You Can ' t Take It Vith You directed by Geraldine Thompson On Friday evening, December 7, the junior class presented their annual play under the direction of Miss Geraldine Thompson. This year ' s production, You Can ' t Take It With You, was a three act comedy which invited you to spend a delightful evening just around the corner in the home of Martin Vanderhof. Here is a home where you do as you like and no questions asked. In fact, the brood, presided over by Grandpa Van— derhof, goes on about the business of living interestingly. Ed Carmichael ' s printing press, grandpa ' s snake collection. Penny Sycamore ' s plays, Paul Sycamore ' s and Mr. De Pinna ' s fireworks, and all the other absurdities of the household are kept in check by Alice Sycamore. Essie Carmichael ' s candies and her ballet lessons occupy most of her time. Her ballet teacher, Mr. Kolenkhov, introduces to the family one of his friends in the person of the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina. Amid all this confusion Alice and Tony Kirby try to lead a normal romance, much to the dismay of Tony ' s parents. Further complications are brought about through the entanglement with two members of the F.B.I. Rheba, the colored maid, and her boy-friend, Donald, are the only two who seem to be affected by the upsetting incidents.

Blanchard JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As the shouts of hubba-hubba rang throuph the halls on September 4, 1945, the students of Lowell High knew immediately that the junior class had arrived. We were assigned to our various home rooms where we were happily met by our sponsors for the year; Mrs. Hetherington, Mr. Ham, and Mr. Christiansen. Our first business of the year was the election of officers. The male population of the class relinquished their long-held lead in class politics as they elected three girl officers, Gladys Stasaitis, presi¬ dent; Barbara Bailey, vice-president; and Marcella Futhey, secretary- treasurer. Soon after, came the election of our class representatives to Student Government. Representing our class in the Senate are; Mar¬ jorie Little, Neil Jackson, Rav Beckman, and Joe Villers, while John Black is vi ce-president of Student Government and president of the Senate. Our class was fully represented in all the school clubs and activi¬ ties, including the field of sports where several of the fellows won their majors. Our major lettermen were Bob Rust, Duke Kuiper, Shirl Snyder, Jim Hall, Joe Villers, John Love, Donald Love, Dick Frahm, Mil- ton Gerner, and Jim Weaver. We had two paper drives this year and as a follow-up, held a party at the home of Caryl Bahr. F ur participants in the Lowellian contest were: Caryl Bahr and rahm, best-looking; Bud Gerner and Nancy Reed, most popular; Gladys Stasaitis and Joe Villers, best athletes; ond Marjorie Little and pat Rhein, most likely to succeed. We presented our class play You Can ' t Take It With You , on Decem¬ ber 7, 1945, with some of the more dramatically inclined taking part.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY We entered the doors of Lowell High School., one hundred and twelve shy and uncertain students, but gained confidence with the aid of our sponsors. Miss Tyler, Miss Nolan, Miss Thompson, and Mr. Jones. We chose Joe Williams as our chief executive, Jim Sharkey for our vice-president, and Jannie Randolph as secretary-treasurer. From every home room a Sunshine Club member is elected and an alternate is chosen. Those selected from freshman home rooms were Barbara Bowton, Kenneth Childress, Marilyn Hayden, Emily Miller, Terry Miller, Eloi se Theis, and Ruth Sinks. Our members to Student Government were: Darrell Cavinder, Zern Hayden, Dick Norris, and Jim Sharkey in the Senate, Marilyn Havden in Student Court, and Jannie Randolph on the S olice force. in the field of sports the girls making enough points for .A.A. were: Helen Anderson, Barbara Bowton, JoAnne 3rownell, Jean Childress, June Corten, Shirley Dotv, Marilyn Hayden, Lillian Krueger, Joan Minninger, Jannie Randolph, Delores Schweitzer, Nada Taylor, Lora Widdel, and Sophie Yacuk. The only boy eligible for the L Club is Dick Norris. In our class, the girl and bov voted best looking in the Lowellian contest were Jean Childress and Jim Purkey. Best athletes were Jo Ann Brownell and Dick Norris, while as most popular we chose Patty Martin and Terry Miller. Those most likely to succeed were Ann Spannan and Darrell Cavinder, the quiz kids of the freshman class. Our big event of the year was a party which we held in the gym in March. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On the first dav of school, 115 of our original 122 students re¬ turned to L.H.S. to beat the books for another year, with Miss Cook, Mrs. Sisson, and Mr. DuBois as our advisers. We chose as class officers, Wilbur Hegnauer, president; Barbara Uhter, vice-president; and Virginia Borowski, secretary-treasurer. Our representatives to Student Government were; Virginia Borowski, Shirley Imes, Albert pattee, and Mary Lou Williams. After much debate, green and white were chosen as our class colors. During September we had a roller skating party which was at least successful in causing a lot of falls. In October a hayride took us around the local countryside. In the middle of November, accompanied by Mr. DuBois and a few parents, we spent a very interesting day in Chicago. Our Lowellian contestants were as follows: Most popular—Wilbur Hegnauer and Phyllis Sutton; Best Looking—JoAnne Taylor and Dick Jack- son; Best Athletes—Pat Gross and Tom Sharkey; and Most Likely to Succeed —Virginia Borowski and Dick Longenecker. The sophomore boys receiving major letters in football were: Bob Coloney, Bua Duncan, Bob Harper, Wilbur Hegnauer, Tom Sharkey, and Bill Tilton. Minor letters went to Orville Beier, Dick Little, Dick Longe¬ necker, and Bill Smith. In basketball, Dick Longenecker, Tom Sharkey, Bob Coloney, and Dick Jackson received minor letters. Several new members entered our class throughout the year. They were Joyce Leep, Irene Lyren, Marylee Fleming, Dorothy Hardesty, Bod N orcross, and Bernard Thompson. On January 4, 1946, we mourned the loss of one of our classmates, Francis Parent, who passed away. We are proud of the scholastic record our class has attained in these two years and we hope to keep up the good work throughout our remaining years in high school. LOWELLIAN CONTEST Once again Lowell High elected from its student body the most popular, most glamorous, most ambitious, and most athletic boy and girl, From the glamour deportment the students chose JoAnne Taylor and Dick Jackson, who both hail from the sophomore class. This was the second year Dick won the contest as the best looking boy of Lowell High School. For the most popular girl we have another sophotnore, Phyllis Sutton and as the most popular boy we elected Soger Childress from the senior class. As the girl and boy most likely to succeed, Virginia Borowski was chosen from the sophomore class and Paul Norris from the senior class, The best girl and boy athlete elected from the eight contestants were Gladys Stasaitis, representing the juniors, and Arman i asparian, the senior nominee. The sophomores made a good showing by having three girls and one boy elected. Voting was limited to students buying Lowellians.

SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class presented Seventeen by Booth Tarkington, on Fri¬ day, April 12. The story is centered around Willie Baxter, a seventeen year old boy who connives to get a dress suit so that he can impress a visiting young lady, Lola Pratt. Willie ' s father and mother will not consent to let him nave a dress suit, so he wears his father ' s, unknown to his parents. However, Jane, his young sister, sees Willie in it and tells all. Still wanting a dress suit. Willie works to earn enough to buy a second-hand one from a friend of Genesis, the Negro servant. Mrs. Baxter revolts and refuses to let Willie buy the suit from the negro, One-Eye Beljux. But finally Mrs. Baxter gives in and lets Willie have his father ' s suit, which is too small for Mr. Baxter anyhow. Miss Pratt with whom Willie has fallen in love, has a farewell party at the par- chers ' and Willie realizes that it is best that they part and that he go to college instead of getting married.

PRESS CLUB The Press Club started out the school Y ear of 1945-1946 with Jane Kimmetj presi den t; Gladys Stasaitis, vice-president; and Eileen Callahan, secretary-treasurer. The members representing the club in Student Gov¬ ernment were Pat Callahan and Sally Gullstrom. During the year the club took its turn selling milk in the cafeteria. In addition, a turkey raffle was held to raise funds, and in October a hayride was held at Phyllis Viers ' home. After eating everything edible, the members journeyed on to a show. Pins arrived in March for the Lowellian and Lowe Llette staff while the other members received pfess Club pins. It is an old tradition for the Press Club to present an Honor Blan¬ ket to the boy and girl of the senior class most deserving it. Eligibi¬ lity for the blanket is based upon scholastic ability, honor points, and sportsmanship. The candidates are chosen by the members of the Press Club, the senior home rooms, and the faculty. In order to join the Press Club one must either have a B average or be a member of one of the journalism classes. The members help in put¬ ting out the LowelLtan by contributing class histories and club write-ups. LOWELLETTE The Lowellette is the bi-weekly newspaper o f L.H.S. which i spublish¬ ed by Miss Nolan ' s journalism classes and Mr. Ham ' s vari-typing classes. All the printing is done in the school. Contributions from all classes are encouraged and this year the staff placed a red and black Lowellette box in the office. The Lowellette started in October 1934, under the title, L Weekly. with Edwin VanNada as its first editor. The Lowellette has grown steadily larger, and in 1941 consisted of eight pages, but due to the paper short¬ age is now only half that. Its four pages cover all phases of school events, including news stories, feature articles, cartoons, sports, ' and the gossip column. At the beginning of the two weeks period a list of stories suggest¬ ed by the staff and assi gned by the editor. As the stories are written and handed in, they are proof-read and sent to Mr. Ham ' s room to be typed. Each page must be compiled with the right number of lines in each column. The pages are sent to Mr. Ham ' s vari-typing class on schedule. On the day the paper is distributed, the pages are stapled together, the names written on them, and distributed to the various home rooms. The mailing list includes many servicemen to whom the paper is sent free. This year ' s editor was Ruth Souder, and her assistants were; Eileen Callahan and Jackie Gross, associate editors; Joanne Albertson, Dick Mey er,and No rma Worley, feature editors; Florence Amt sbechl er and Dorothy Hayden, girls ' sports editors; Arman Kasparian and Bill Rust, boys ' sports; Dean Dixon, business manager; Jane Kimmetj circulation manager; Bonnie Kenney, excnange editor.

To assist her were Dick Meyer, business manager; Joanne Albertson and Sally Gullstrom, feature editors; Arman Kasparian and Bi 11 Rust, boys ' sports editors; Jane Kimmetj girls ' sports editor; Bill peterson, snapshot editor; andVirgil Ewer and Jackie Gross, art editors. Miss Nolan and Mr. Ham are the capable faculty advisers. Senior pictures were taken bv Mr. Blankenberg, photographer of Kan¬ kakee, and the students received them in December—in time to use as Christmas gifts. Mr. Blankenberg, came again in February to take group pictures of the various classes and clubs. The snapshots were taken by the snapshot editor and the students. The senior Daaes, and sports picture pages, and the snap pages were mounte d By the staff. These pages were then sent to ce photo¬ graphed and duplicated.

During the meetings, reports were given, experi- ents were conducted, and movies were shown. The subjects were related o some field of science and were of interest to the club. LATIN CLUB Promove re bonum in Latmus et facere Latmus plus jucundus was the motto of the Latin Club this year, meaning: to promote interest in Latin and to make Latin more interesting. In order to do this, Virgil Ewer was elected president and John Love was elected to take over in Virgil ' s absence. Margery Little was chosen to count the money and keep track of the minutes. Representatives for Student Government were Bob Coloney and Shirley Cool. An initiation was held early in the year. Many new members were initiated, making a total membership of seventy, the largest number in years. The meetings were made interesting by plays, movies, and programs. The plays given were taken from famous myths, but when the actors were chosen on the spur of the moment, they were very humorous. The movies shown related to Latin and Ancient Rome. The Latin Club feels that they have lived up to their motto and that all the members have enjoyed belonging to the club.

The members-elect from the eight grade marched with the band. The events at the home football games wdre retarded some¬ what by inclement weather. However, the band cfid put on some fine per¬ formances. The Christmas Concert was planned for December 19th and was well attended by an appreciative audience. As an added feature, unusual to former concerts, the audience was invited to join in singing several traditional carols with the aid of the brass quartette. This proved very satisfactory with all concerned. The school ' s new stage piano was used for the first time in public during this concert. The music de¬ partment is thankful for this new instrument and it is their hope that it will be taken care of in the future. February 6th was a busy day for the music department. At the hour of 2 p.m. L.H.S. went on the air again over W J O B, Hammond. This pro¬ gram was written up to feature more music than former broadcasts. Then at 8 p.m. the Gary Carrilco Concert Band came to present one of the finest concerts ever to be given in the auditorium. The Band Boosters and the music department sponsored this concert, which was given without any expense to the audience or the sponsors. After the band settled down to some concentrated rehearsing the Spring Concert was set for May 1. Ensembles began rehearsing, as did solos in preparation for this spring event. More time was given by each interested pupil by practicing during library periods. The officers of the band presented a bill to the Student Government so that the band be given permission to purchase black sweaters and have a definite music lyre emblem for them. It was passed and the Band Boost¬ ers consented to present each qualified member of the band with one of these emblems beginning with the fall term of ' 46. The personnel of the band sold milk at noon for six weeks to cover the cost of the first order of emblems. This year seven pupils organized a swing band to play for events in school and out of school. Outside rehearsing was all that this group was able to reconize, Since the band is going now it is hopes that it will continue to rehearse and make itself available for school events. L CHORAL GROUPS At the beginning of school the different groups were organized and members were tried for voice-placement. Then serious rehearsing began. The groups consisted of the freshman girls ' glee club, the mixed chorus and the girls ' octette. The octette sang several times during the year for town events, and once traveled to Gary to sing for the District American Legion Auxiliary meeting. The Christmas concert was made more enjoyable by the choral groups fine participation. The groups all took part in the broadcast in February and the re¬ sults were well received. The freshman girls ' numbers were wel1 performed as was the mixed chorus ' Winter Song . The second semester made quite a change in the personnel of the chorus since most of the boys had conflict¬ ing classes.

The inexperienced Devils were behind 7-0 at the end of the first half, but the second half showed an inspired team. On the kick-off. Bill Rust, end, galloped 75 yards for the Devils ' first touchdown. Then Griffitn intercepted two passes for touchdowns, and in return Bill Rust intercepted a pass for the Devils ' second score, which found the Devils behind, 19-12, when the whistle blew. They say that experience is your best teacher—the Devils found that out. Lowell 12—Crown point 0 For the first time in three and one-half years, the Lowell Red Devils defeated the Ctown Point Bulldogs 12 to O on C.P. ' s home grid. The Devils hit first and hard to make the Bulldogs fumble on their first play. Kasparian scored in the first quarter on a 21 yard sweep around end and then threw a pass to Villers on the 5 yard line for the second score. The rest of the game found Kasper and Sharkey hammering out good yardage, but unable to score because of Lowell penalties. Lowell 0 — Hobart o Suspense was the keynote when the Devils journeyed to Hobart to hold the Brickies scoraless. The ball was alternated from one side to the ether in a terrific battle. Three times during the ball game, Hobart marched to within lO yards of the Devils goal but only to be nailed. As a result, the game ended in a scoreless tie. Lowell 13—Rensselaer 13 The highlights of this game came when Kasparian scored two touch¬ downs with six and one-half minutes remaining in the game. The unde¬ feated Bombers were held scoreless throughout the first half, but during the third quarter the Bombers broke the deadlock by scoring on a 75 yard run and a pass. With six and one-half minutes playing time remaining in the game, the Devils seemingly found themselves faced with another de¬ feat. The Devils ' line cracked the Bombers ' backfield, which fumbled, and Kasparian plowed through center for the first score. After the kick-off, the Devils again plowed toward the goal. Kasparian swept around end for the second touchdown, and then ran from a fake kick for¬ mation for the extra and most important point. Lowell 36—Monticello 0 The Monticello Indians were no match for the Lowell Red Devils who poured over six touchdowns (with the second team contributing three of them) and made over 390 yards from scrimmage, while limiting Monticello to 33 yards. The Indians could not hold back the powerful Devils, and in turn could not penetrate through the strongest line in the Calumet Region. All substitutes saw action, with the regular left half, who sat the rest for the coming Crown _ game ou t Point game. to exception give his sore of Kasparian, 1 eg mu scles a Lowell 21—Crown point 0 The Red Devils won their third game of the season in a race to beat last year ' s record, v hen they handed the Bulldogs their second de¬ feat this season before a record crowd of 1700. The Bulldogs came back for revenge with added stubborn resistence, forcing Lowell to punt several times in a row. But with a few minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Bulldogs were unable to halt the Devils any longer. Beckman plowed through center for the first Lowell score. The Devils were again on the spurt, with Kasperian comp leting two touchdown passes to Tom Sharkey, rignt half, and Bill Rust, Lowell ' s giant end, leaving the score 19 to O at the half. The second half brought few results, but Lowell added 2 points when a C.p. back was tackled behind his goal for a safety, and the game ended with a final score of 21 to O. Lowell 52—Crete C Crete was the fourth victim of the Lowell Red Devils. The Cretans could not cope with the cut-backs of Kasper and Sharkey., nor the plung¬ ing of Beckman. On the first play, Sharkey clipped-off 64 yards for the Devils ' first touchdown. Soon after that, the Devils ' backs were able to score whenever they thought it was necessary. Kasparian scored 21 points, and Sharkey was second with 12. Lowell 13 — St. Joseph 7 Even the strong team from St. Joseph, Rensselaer, was unable to stop the Devils who won their fifth game of the season on their own muddy field. The game had been postponed twice because of rain. The Devils started off with a drive which ended on the puma Cubs ' 1 ¥5 r{ V l1 ?? or i a fumb l e s t. Joe kicked out to the 35 yard line and again the Devils drove to the 1 y ar d line, but were unable to score. However in the second quarter.

Another drive was in progress when Kasparian ran 22 yards to the 14 yard stripe where Beckman ran over, making the final score of 13 points. With a few minutes remaining in the game, St. Joseph let loose a passing attack which resulted in a touchdown within 45 seconds of the end of the game. The Devils ' backs poured over 250 yards from scrimmage and held St. Joe to 1C9 yards. Lowell 26—Catholic Central 6 The Lowell Red Devils won their last game of the season to make it six wins, two ties, and one loss, which v as the best season since the undefeated team of 1937. Winning the toss, the Warriors chose to kick, and the Devils marched down to C.C. ' s 14 yard line where Beckman went over on an off-tackle smash and the extra point was added. Before the first quarter was over, Beckman again fought his way through the line for his second touchdown. In the second quarter the Warriors were unable to pass the 50 yard marker, while the Devils were still on the go. Kasparian swept around right end for the Devils ' third touchdown. Joe Villers also contributed a touchdown on a blocked punt for the score of 26-0 at half-time. Lowell did not score in the second half, but the Warriors scored in the third quarter—the rest of the game was a battle in midfield.

Basketball Co-Captains 1945-46 Sports Year 1945-46 marked another successful year on gridiron in the his¬ tory of Lowell High School ' s athletic teams. This season the Red Devils lost only one game and at the close of the season had won six. tied two and lost one. which was the best season since the undefeated teams ot 1936 and 1937. With a strong line, averaging 180 pounds, only one team was able to penetrate the Devils ' defense to beat them by one touch down. The L Club of this year selected Jack Schutz, Captain and Ray Beckman as the most valuable player. This year ' s squad loses Bill Rust, Arman Kasparian, Charles Hatch, Jack Schutz, Bill Peterson, and Dick Meyer by graduation. But this will still leave a strong reserve, with several sophomores and juniors to re¬ place them. This year ' s basketball season marked the most successful season ever had by the Red Devils of Lowell. Although two games were cancelled,, Lowell won ten out of the remaining sixteen of the scheduled games. Lowell made history by going to the finals in three tourneys, including the Hammond sectionals which was the first time in the history of the school. Bill Rust and Arman Kasparian were co-captains of this year ' s remarkable team. This year ' s intramural trophy was won by Baughman ' s Bone Busters with eight wins and two losses. Milakovic ' s Undertakers were second with seven wins and four losses, and had previously beaten the Bone Busters 7 to 2. In third place came the fresnies from Miss Nolan ' s room, who had six w ins and four losses. The trophy will be awarded on Honor Day. Late in the spring the newly organized track team under Coach Du- Bois met seven opponents, Hebron, Edison, Valpo, Griffith, Crown Point, Edison, and Crown Point. These meets were scheduled at a date too late for publication of results in this annual.

Devils Make History in Hammond Sectionals The Lowell Red Devils made history in the three days of the section¬ al as they went to the finals for the first time in tne history of the school. Lowell, the dark horse, who could have been the people ' s choice (as was stated in the Hammond Times), whipped Wheeler by a big margin and beat Catholic Central, who had been victorious over Griffith, the people ' s choice. The Devils started off with an easy victory over the Bearcats of Wheeler bv a score of 67-41, while Griffith lost a hard-played game to Catholic Central by one point. Hammond Catholic Central was the Devil ' s next victim. It was anybody ' s ball game in the first half, but was fatal for the Warriors in the second half with the final score of 47-37.

The game ended in a 52 to 45 victory for the Devils. But in the final game, Lowell bowed to East Chicago Washington, who ran the score up with a lot of fresh substitutes, while Bill Rust, Lowell ' s six-feet-six-inch center and high scoring man throughout the season, sat on the bench with a sprained ankle.
