FACTS AND FANCIES FROM THE FACULTY Mary Frances Baughman ' s pet peeve is an annual which is not a student ' s affair. She has an A.B. from Indiana State Teachers College and has done graduate work at I. U. Our Principal, Mr. Brannock, likes to fish, hunt, play golf and try to keep people happy. He enjoys reading as a pastime and his favorite saying is Oh, boy : cold weather is his pet peeve and Spring ' and “Fall his favorite season Asked why he chose the teaching profession he replied, Like so many people, I believe I drifted into the profession during the depression. However, since my grandfather was a saddle bag preacher, I may nave inherited some of his vocational interest in liking to work with people. Mr. Brannock has a BS and MS in education plus additional graduate work. Mary Kay Burgman ' s hobby is collecting souvenirs and snapshots while she has so many pastimes she is never with¬ out anything to do. Childhood camping experiences led her to the teaching profession. As to a favorite season she claims she wouldn ' t want any one season all the time. Miss Burgman has a BS in Health, Physical Education, and Recrea¬ tion. if asked what her pet peeve is, she reaffirms to us that, of course, it is gum smacking. i 1 Frieda L. Cook had always wanted to be an Art Teacher and that is probably why most of hobbies are along that line. She has knowledge of several crafts and likes to col¬ lect book match covers to give to those people who collect book match covers as a hobby. Well-migosh is her favorite saying and Spring her favorite seasgn, while her pet peeve is too pretty to mention. For pastime she bowls, likes to drive, or play pinochle. Miss Cook has a BS in special Art Education and graduate work. Leonard Clay Cundiff likes summer the best and of course we can guess why. He has a BS in Agriculture and chose teaching because he lik . c to work with young people. His favorite pastimes are working with young people and his hobbies, which are raising guinea pigs, collecting dolls and military shoulder patches, making 3igsaw puzzles, collecting china, glass, wooaen and plastic rabbits. Greetings! is issued often as his favorite saying and students who say they are not going to do something are his pet peeve. Keith DuBois likes sports in season and horseback riding. He informs us that his favorite season is Fall. He chose teaching because he liked to work with young people and has a BS. Coach ' s motto is Do what you have to do when it ought to be done. People who never rt kid or joke are his pet peeve. George E. Ham ' s favorite saying is Get ready for a ten-minute test, much to his plpils ' disgust. Mr. Ham re¬ ceived his AB at DePauw with graduate work at Iowa Univer¬ sity. His hobbies are reading, sports and music, and the favorite season is fall. As a last resort he accepted a teaching position during the depression—but his teaching has taught him there is no more satisfying work. Mr. Ham dislikes having pet peeves. •■.luar ' i ' i ' u ll i ni W H IM — III nm —.mini 1 iipi ■• u — ntm -mn— r ( •• « « ► ■ mU’M ' rmiMWMt ' . -Ulln w MMWMWO Gladys Hetherington admits her favorite pastime is reading and that fall is her favorite season. Queried as to why she chose the teaching profession, she answered simply, I like it being the possessor of a calm, cool nature she has no pet peeve which is a great asset in her profession. Mrs. Hetherington has an AB and is doing graduate work at the University of Minnesota. W. Theodore Jones 1 favorite pastime is his son bobby. Take care is his favorite saying but his pupils think Ready now? One, two, three, four is more characteristic of him. For a hobby he collects items and his favorite seasgn is spring. To create enjoyment in making good music is his reason for choosing the feaching profession and stu¬ dents who won ' t practice are his pet peeves. Mr. Jones has a BPSM. Michael A. Milakovic likes to relax. His favorite season is Fall and his favorite saying is let ' s get organ¬ ized. Of course we can understand this. He also likes to bowl and fish. He has a BS. George Robb sanctions that A rolling stone gathers no moss. The failure of people to exercise voting privileges in any democratic society is his pet peeve. Mr. Robb in¬ forms us that it was one of three choices—medicine, law or teaching that would be his profession but as teachers ' training required less capital it was chosen. He also en¬ joys the work. Spring is his favorite season and he likes to read, fish, hunt, shoot (trap and target) and shoot archery. He has a BS and is working towards his MS. Mary M. Sisson ' s favorite pastime is Senior Activities. She chose the teaching profession because she liked her freshman Algebra teacher very much. Her favorite season is spring and pet peeve is gum chewers and unnecessary talking in study hall. Mrs. Sisson has a BS. Marguerite Jeanne Steelhammer ' s main interest is St. Louis. (Wonder Why.) She likes to work with people—es¬ pecially young people—and can be heard saying Fuddydud any day. bubble gum is her pet peeve. Late spring and early fall are her favorite seasons end she likes to knit, sew, dance and go to concerts. Miss Steelhammer has a BS. Geraldine F. Thompson has an AB and an MA in English. Arlene LaMotte Vandermark likes to knit and play golf. Right along with golf, sand traps on golf courses are her pet peeves. Her daughter, little ToniJo, happily consumes most of her out-of-school time. Mrs. Vandermark also likes to play bridge and decides that summer and spring are her favorite seasons. She chose the teaching profession because she thought she would like it which she does. She has a BS Mary Alice Wilcox finds that collecting and checking papers has eveloped into her hobby. To idle away her lei¬ sure time she enjoys reading and attending movies. Although her weekends are usually pretty well taken upwith classes in Hammond and visits to Chicago or Indianapolis. She main¬ tains that fall is her favorite season. She chose teaching as her career because she likes to fuss with the kids . Miss Wilcox has an AB and will receive her MA June, 1948. ' 1 ! I i ?

Aiming toward their goal of reaching Washington D.C. they started bv sponsoring a paper drive which netted them eighty-seven dollars. A candy stand was soon set up in the hall and weekly sales from this con¬ cession added greatly to their finances. Additional scrap and paper drives held throughout the year also helped. Pop¬ corn. candy, hotdog and pop concessions at basketball and football games, along with informal dances after the games provided more funds. Cr December 20, the semi-formal Christmas dance, pins, stationery., pencils 1 It w | 0 k WA k A uu schedule, and seniors promoted a successful Milk sales, two raffles, class inscribed with the basketball all helped out will be under the ood sale held in March, The tour the class is going to take guidance of the Penny Barker Tours, Inc. and will take the class through Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvani and Ohio.

I I PROPHECY After receiving our invitations on July 10, 1972, for the reunion of the class of 1948, we started on our journey to Sulphur Springs, Indiana, formerly Lowell, Indiana. Upon our arrival we were met by Harriet Hoevet, Sulphur Springs Police Chief, who was to be our guide for the day. She immediately rushed us to the airport tomeet Dick Longnecker. President of the United States. While waiting for the arrival of the Presidential Heli¬ copter we saw many of our old classmates. The first to meet our eye was the famous acting team Pat Allen and Amber Lee. Pat is the former Albert Pattee and Amber is more commonly known to her classmates as Mary1eeFleming. A group of youngsters came up just then to get autographs. We were surprised to find out that the mother of five of them was Pat Swett who had married Bill McKinney, a famous California 1awyer. Just then the attention of the crowd was focused on the arrival of the president. The President and his wife, known to us as Carolyn Hayhurst, were the first to step out of the helicopter followed by their three children. When Carolyn first went to the White House and saw all of the rooms going to waste she immediately put an ad in the paper for roomers. She gives the money to her favorite charity, herself. After them came the Secretary of State Squeak Hegnauer and his wire, Bonnie Smith. A very distinguished looking couple if we ever saw one. Bonnie is now the social leader in Wash- lngton. . After our distinguished classmates left,we saw a couple slip quietly out of the helicopter. Upon closer observation we saw that they were none other than Shirley Imes and Ed Troy. We asked them what they were doing on the presidential helicopter. They explained that Shirley was the Whitehouse cook and Ed the Whitehouse butler ar.d that they had stowed away on the helicopter in order to come. Police Chief Hoevet was then called to go to the hos¬ pital on an accident call and told us to meet her there later. We decided to linger a while longer at the airport in hopes that the rocket ship would arrive earlier than it was scheduled. All of a sudden a P-80 came into view! Whoops— —it landed! Descending from the plane were our dearly be¬ loved sponsors Miss Cook, Mrs. Sisson, Mr. DuBois, ana our government teacher Miss Steelhammer. They seemed to be having a terrific argument, and as they came closer we found they were arguing about who had influenced our dis¬ tinguished class members the most. We decided we were hungry since we hadn ' t eaten since very early in the morning and started to look for a restau¬ rant. There were no restaurants in the terminal so we then walked across the street to a shabby old shack. When we entered we saw a sign above the bar, Tom and Mabel ' s Hot Dog and Coke Bar. The proprietors came out and they were Tom Sharkey and Mabel Schutz. It seems that they got married a few years after they graduated and decided that a hot dog and coke bar would be the most profitable business. They said their motto was, Eat all you can and you ' ll look like us. We left after one hot dog. f . ■ .mi - • • !•.-i .-hi UffnvaMflMi MIW mum . ;. . . u «m hiamu. . J I ' l-UlHM I !

She was leaving just as we got there but told us to look around the very modern hospital and that she would pick us up at our hotel before going to the reunion. We were very anxious to see the Superintendent of Nurses Charlotte Starr. Charlotte blushingly insisted that we go upstairs to see her husband whom she married two weeks be¬ fore. She wouldn ' t tell us who he was but said he was very handsome. Stepping into the elevator we were taken up to the fifth floor bv Bob Coloney, the elevator boy. Sob told us to stop in to see his wife, Jeannette Tunnell, the hos¬ pital dietician. We walked through the Chief-of-Staff 1 s door and stopped in our tracks for it was the famous sur¬ geon Dr. Leroy Liptak who was Chariotte 1 s handsome husband. He told us to be sure to see the new operating room but not to disturb the mathematician and scientist who were in the lab next to it. Rilev Robertson is said to be the world ' s leading scientist. Alvie Childress is the first mathema¬ tician to find the end of pi. We then left the hospital to go on c sight-seeing tour of the city. The sightseeing fly-mobile was run by Joann Taylor and Stanley Miller. Stanley pointed out the places of interest and gave a brief history of them. Joann drove and flew the bus. The first point of interest was the Old Maids Home which was run by Doris Hoeckelburg and Marcele Berdine. Across the street Dick Jackson and Vance Crisp had a competing Bachelors Home. Of course; none of the oc¬ cupants have given up hope yet. Next we came to a side show which.was plastered with f ictures and signs such as the Fat Woman of 72. Joan anded and we .got to see the show. The barker, Bow-Wow-Gertie was telling of the sights inside. We learned later that she was Jean Mital. We payed our quarter to get in and the first attraction to meet our eyes was Phvlli3 Sutton, the fat woman, tipping the scales at 945 pounds. Of course, no circus is complete without a Wild Man from Borneo. Myron Tyler surprised us as this wierd character. We drove and flew along.a few miles in comparative quiet seeing nothing but the Lind and Franzen Rest Home for the Decrepit. Next to it stood the Justice of Peace. Lois Little and Burl Carlson lived there; Lois supplied the justice and Burl the Peace. After speeding along at 90 miles an hour for a couple of blocks we stopped in front of the Wee Widdle Bwats Laundry Service wnich was owned by Dean Hilzley and Delores Fleming. After having their twelfth child they decided this would be a worthwhile investment. Our tour ended at the newspaoer office where was pub¬ lished The Truth or The Prevaricator edited by Julian Echterling. Hidden behind stacks of letters was Betty Duncan, alias Miss Anthony of the Lovelorn Column. Then, taking a stroll down Commercial Boulevard, we heard the strains of wonderful dancing music and turning in its direction we gazed upon the beautiful dancing school of Schinkel it Purcell. When we looked in the door we saw Ruth leading the Congo line with Charles bringing up the rear. After the wear and tear of the day we kept our appoint- mM m«.«mr-H nn im.mn: « h 4 ii h n n i w: M ii ' i i i m r iMi|iw- w r i M«r l • • • ' • r ' HUMMt ' WlMiiMnm:.;-. i! ment at Phillips ' Beauty Salon run by Charles and Paul Phillips. We were very thrilled to have our hair styled by the famous hair stylist., Monsieur Ruley. Gazing around the salon we recongized Irene Lyrn crawling around the floor picking up pieces of hair to use in her wig factory viiich is loccted at the edge of town. Outside the Beauty Salon we hailed a taxi cab. To our surprise the taxi cab driver was Mary Lou Williams who de¬ clared it was Mr. Brannock ' s driver ' s training that made her a competent driver. We told her to take us to the airport. Arriving there we were just in time to see Pope Pius XIII descend from the plane. Under all the regalia of the Pope we recognized Bob Harper followed by Countess Barbara De Beau (former Barbara Long) who was just out of exile after marrying Count Pierre De Beau (once Bob Hoeck1eberg). We then left the airport and proceeded to our hotel., The Extravanganza, owned and operated bv Pat Gross and Jay Doolittle. Going into the lobby we saw Bill Smith who was waiting for his girl friend Pearl Markwell. Bill owned a big textile factory in El Paso, Texas., and Pearl was a famous Kormendy model. Joe Kormendy bought out John Robert Powers model agency in New York., after making his first million selling shoestrings at the corner of State and Randolph in Chicago. We had to go thru the recreation room to get • i n a i i to the escalators and as we got nearer we heard a grinding of wood and a faint tick, tick. We found that the grinding was Bob Boyles making wooden shoes, He had gone to Holland to live and had become a wooden shoe manufacturer. Over in the other corner was Norman Swider, the ping pong champion, playing with Bob Lane who is the manager of tne World ' s Fair which will be held in Sulphur Springs in 1976. On our way to our room we saw some people loitering ahead of us. As we started to pass them we saw that they were Babe Biers and Martha Wunderink who had been married a few years ago and now own a prosperous gas station in the Sahara Desert. With them was Fred Lutgen, a tobacco auct¬ ioneer; he has taken the place of F.B. Boon on the Lucky Strike program. At last we arrived at our rooms where we intended to rest before the reunion that night only to be interrupted bv the chambermaids, Gizella Kepes and Barbara Uhter. They haa heard we were here and had to come in to talk over old times with us. When they left we settled down to rest but just then someone barged through our room and jumped out the window. After him came two more people, but tney stopped when they got to the window. They were Allen Roberts and Viola Schrieber. Allen is a psychiatrist and Viola is a matron in the insane asylum. We asked them who had jumped out of the window but they said it was some lunatic wno had escaped over whom we needn ' t worry. We aave up the idea of rest as hopeless, got dressed, and went ' down to the lobby to watch the people. You could have heard a pin drop in the lobby, it was so quiet; we looked toward the door and in walked Minnie Van Keppel and after her an African native, his hair wrapped up in a bone and a string of teeth around his neck. Minnie is a mission¬ ary in Africa and Tokis, the African with her, is her most devoted servant. A few minutes later Police Chief Hoevet came after us f t: •.•.umiitMf.xtmnmMiitttiMm .n 4 I ! f 1 L i to take us to the VariBrum night club where the reunion was to be held; with her was Harold Snyder who is a warden at Sing Sing. As we got out of the police flyingmobile in front of the night club, we were astounded to see Lavonne Barker Euqene Peters who are singing Evangelists and Were trying to reform the patron of the club. when we entered; we were g reeted by our host and hostess Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brum— augh who owned the night club. Mrs. Brumbaugh was the former Ruth Vanco. She took us over to the check room to leave our wraps. We had to look twice at the brunette who waited on us and were speechless when we found she was Bar¬ bara Viant, the blonde of our high school days. The headwaiter Bill Sheets took us to a very long and narrow table where the majority of our former classmates were seated. The lights went out for the floor show so we didn ' t get to talk to any of them. Marshall Byrnes., leader of the Pink Cloud orchestra, announced torch singer Dolores O ' Connell., singing Indiana Blues . After much applause Dolores sang as her encore Illinois Loyalty. We were all surprised at the next num¬ ber on the program: Annabelle Misner, the Hula Hula girl. Annabelle had gone gn q trip to Hawaii after she graduated and liked the country so well she learned to do the hula. The spot light was then focused on a couple sitting at the end ox our table, Leonard Allie and Vivian Hoffman, the Met¬ ropolitan Opera stars who were to honor us with a song. When the lights came on we were very surprised to Lorraine Sauer sitting beside us. She was still single and taught manual training at Sulphur Spring High School. Next to Lorraine was Dick Little, Speaker of the House in the State legislature. Looking down the table we saw a few classmates we had seen earlier in the day. On the other side of us sat Phillip Snyder and his, the former Jeannette Cox. Phillip is a banker in Chicago, and they are very prominent in the social circle. We noticed someone with a queer looking evening dress and cape on and asked Chief Hoe- vet who it was. She said it was Pauline Hetherington who was a big game hunter in the African jungles. She is the first hunter to kill a lion and leopard with one bullet. Her dress was made out of leopard skin and her cape from a lion ' s mane. Next to her was Vernal Collins and Wayne Wiet- brock. Vernal was a lady wrestler until she married Wayne and gave up her career to help him train as light weight champion boxer of the world. Just then the cigarette girl came by and we saw that it was Virginia Borowski who became a cigarette girl because of the tips. We looked out on the dance floor and saw 3ettv Albert¬ son and Kenneth Dockweiler dancing without any shoes on. They owned a grocery store in the Ozarks and haq gotten out of the habit of wearing anything on their feet. Dorothy Hardesty and Arthur Gaither were hopping around on the dance floor. They own a kangaroo farm and have seen the kangaroos hopping around so much that they do it. As the evening came to a close. General Darrell Mink made the farewell speech saying that we would all try to meet here again in ten years. We were all sorry to say good-bye but the thought of meeting again gave us something to look forward to. ! 1 i t f J 1 S I j i |i I I I il !

Miss Thompsonj Miss Cook and Mr. Cundirf were our class sponsors. We elected as our class officers Terry Miller, presi¬ dent, Bob Carroll, vice-president, and Patty Martin, secre- t ary-treasure. October was the month of cur magazine sale which topped the sales of last year. Norman Shroka won a portable radio for being our super-salesman . Mary Hepp won an electric radio from the raffle which was held along with the magazine sales. Those Websters was presented as the class play which developed into a huge success under the direction of Miss Thompson. Merritt Busselburg, Kenneth Childress, Eugene Lehman, Terry Miller, and Wayne Walters received major letters in football: Lugene Harper, Jim Turkey and Jim Sharkey received minor letters. Basketball major letters went to Dick Norris, Bob Gross, Terry Miller, Don Spoerner, Darrell Cavinder, Bob Carroll and Eugene Lehman. We were well represented in the Student Government with Rudy Faverty, Dick Norris, Jannie Randolph and Ann Spannan in the Senate, and Wayne Walters, Joan Minninger, Bob Carroll, Darrell Cavinder and Terry Miller in the House of Represent¬ atives. Kenneth Childress, vice-president of Student Govern¬ ment, became president when Dick Longenecker graduated at the end of first semester. Since 1948 is leap year we sponsored a Leap Year dance, which was held Marcn 6 in the high school auditor¬ ium. During the year, three new students entered our class: Wilma Lou Utermark from Bloom Township in Chicago Heights, Lyla Martin from Les Wallace in Gary, and Margaret Lyons from Forest Hills, Kentucky.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY With an enrollment of one-hundred and seven members, the sophomores started out their school year with a bang. An addition was made to their class when Lois Bevins from Sullivan High in Kingsport, Tennessee, enrolled. As their officers they elected Kenneth Burger, presi¬ dent and Arne Carlson to act as vice-president. Allan Miller took the role of secretary-treasurer. Their activities were supervised by their sponsors-Miss Wilcox, Miss Baughman and Mr. Milakovic. The fellows, as sports minded as they were as freshman, continued participating in atheltics. Arne Carlson ana Elvis Midkiff received their Major letters in football. Those who received their minors were- Allan Miller, Don Pattee. Dick Sharkey and Charles Surprise. Minors in ketball were received by Dick Sharkey, Rol Rust, Allan Miller and Arne Carlson. Roland Hoffman, bas- Gene The sophomore girls initated in the G.A.A. were: Anna Mary Kelsey, Mary Schrum, Jo Ann Hart, Pat Kolweic, Pat Hudson, DeMaris Amtsbuechler, Norma Bahr, Marcia Bolt. Mary Ann Clark, Barbara Childress, June Stowell, Marjorie Davis, Carolyn Kormendy, Jeanette Peterson, Ruth Sauer, Charlotte McCarty, Geraldine Inderski and Beverly Geisel. Charlotte McCarty was re-elected as yell leader for the second team. The class was represented in student government by Chuck Surprise, Joanne Larson, Anna Mary Kelsey, Clynn Worthington, Pat Hudson and DeMaris Amtsbuechler. Gray with maroon letters were the colors they chose for their class sweaters. FRESHMAN HISTORY The local grade schools of Lowell, Cook, Cedar Lake, Shelby and others, yielded 129 students to Lowell High as the 1947—48 class of Freshman. Very green but eager to learn, this set of beginners show that Freshman aren ' t as dumb as some think, by attaining high scholastic records. After getting acquainted with one another, the class members elected as their officers the following: President.Don Fredricks Vice-President......Janis Buche Secretary-Treasurer.Audrey Childress Senators to the Student Government were also chosen: Janis Buche, David Grant, Joan O ' Connell and Leland Tanner. The first class party was rolling fun held at the Crescent Roller Rink at Cedar Lake. Most of the class were in attendance under the chaperonage of Mrs. Ketherington, Mr. Ham, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Robb. Athletics weren ' t shunned by the new Lowellites either. Some of the outstanding boy athletics are Russell Tuttle, Johnny Doolittle and Richard Burgess. Janis Buche, Theresa Prada and Carolyn Purkey are active in girls sports. i-:m£ 1 i i STUDENT GOVERNMENT “In order to bring about a better understanding between students and fac¬ ulty., we, the Students of Lowell High School, do hereby establish the consti- tution. In 1944 the Student Council of Lowell High School passed a bill introducing Student Government. This system was patterned after our national government. Its purpose was and still is to give the student body a chance to make and enforce its own laws. The first President was Frank Child¬ ress. In 1945 Student Government introduced the first andonly Student Court. This tribunal consisted of jurors and a judge to try cases of misconduct of the students. Lasting one year, this court was abolished because it was unsuccessful. Our present Government consists of one President, one Vice-President, a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate consists of sixteen members, each class sending four representatives, so selected that each homeroom is represented. The House of Representatives is composed of eighteen members, two from each club. All groups except the G.A.A., Home £c, L Club, and F.F.A. send one boy and one girl each. Some of the projects Student Government worked on this 47-48 year are: A more systematic and convenient method of parking the school buses was suggested. After measuring the present parking lot and determining how it must be changed, the legislative groups make the appropriate recommendations to the trus- t ees. A demand for a more adequate homeroom program was echoed in the House. A committee was formed to investigate and make suggestions on basis ot findings. The driveway and thd road in front of the school are danger spots and would be made much safer if caution signs were secured for them. A system of leaving the school has improved the after school rush for buses. Some of the drinking fountains were fixed as a result of the Government ' s recommendation. There is an investigation of the reason for the delay of the athletic field. f unct c i t i zi t ime :_ . an.u TMnMll‘m lu ■wtllkcUM IIHM4 tuiW |UUM ' i«f U l FRESHMEN Top Row: John Sheets.

' 47- ' 48 ART CLUB The purpose of the Art Club is to promote interest in our school art department and outside fields of art. Under the sponsorship or Miss Cook and leadership of Barbara Long, president, Jeanette Peterson, vice-president, and Patsy Swett, secretary, a wide variety of activities were enjoyed the 1947-48 school year. At the beginning of the year an initiation party was held at the Kankakee River in Shelby. Clay-modeling, leather-crafts, beadwork, sketching, perspective and wood- ctafts were a tew of the class projects for the year. One of the things that rates special interest is a puppet stage. Work was begun last year and there is still much to be done. Puppets, costumes, furniture, stage settings and the stage itself are part of the project. Movies were shown in classes throughout the year; a trip to a Chicago art scho was also planned. Again this year several students entered the annual Northern Indiana art conteat. The main money- raising project was selling milk, candy and pop at various times. • •: J HW w m Iiw- w wW Hgtfiw ; 4V is ' HHn.n« |wi«in • 1 ! I I j 1 ■ G . A .

OATH I (name) in order to become a member of the G.A.A. do solemnly swear that I will abide by all regulations ana laws of the organization. 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 it in the pursuit of leisure time. I shall do all in my power to promote th e interests of the G.A.A. Being accepted into the state G.A.A. has given our club a higher standing. The state G.A.A. encourages everyone to participate in sports by awarding 10 points for 4 practices in a sport and iO extra points if the first team is made. A change had to be made pertaining to points for letters and sweaters. According to the State G.A.A., 150 points will secure a letter ana 250 points a sweater, but in order to eliminate so many girls from receiving letters and sweaters and making the letters and sweaters more valuable merits, the point system was increased to 250 points and 350 points, respectively. This new systam was started this year. One reason for Lowell High ' s girls ' interest in sports is that, although in most Indiana High Schools gym is not required in the last two years, it is here and therefore keeps the girls ' interest. Under the able leadership of our advisor Miss Burgman, and our President. Doris Hoeckelberg, the club participated in the usual activities of selling pins and milk and sponsoring the Athletic Dance and Mothers ' Tea. This spring the club sponsored a trip to McCormick Creek State park. Senior girls had first choice to go and then underclassmen v ith the highest points were chosen togo. INTRAMURAL SPORTS Because of the lack of competition in girls sports with other schools, intramural sports are substituted. Speedball, hitpin, volleyball and softball constitute the major girls ' sports, and ping pong, shuff 1 eboard, aerial darts, tennis, hiking, archery and volleyring, the minor sports. These are played .in gym classes and at noon hour. Any girl wishing to ? anticipate at r.oon hour may. A captain is chosen and a earn picxed for each class. If four practices are attended, ten points are eerred towards G.A.A.; if the team is made, ten additional points are earned. The four class teams then play against each o:her either by Round Robin or elimination method. This year ' :he Seniors won a majority of sports. The girls equipment being quite worn out from use has limited tn.-n in participating fully in all sports. The last two years tennis rockets have been obtainable at a low stu¬ dent price to encourage the lost interest in this sport. Also, students have learned the fundamentals of archery and aerial darts which haven ' t been played here for some time. -J WNNlbNMt IlfeMlrilM Ifl.i. G . A . A .

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Sixtv-six girls with the additions of 4 boys and 58 new Freshies, resumed classes once again in the Hine Economics department of Lowell High School under their new sponsor Mrs. Arlene Vandermark, herself a graduate of L.H.S. The Home Ec Club organized in 1940 under Miss Amy Perry. To qualify for membership a student must maintain a speci¬ fied grade average, pass every subject taken the previous semester, and be taking Home Economics at the time or have completed the course. With girls (and fellows) acknowledging the need for know-how in canning, cooking, sewing, f amily 1ife, hgme man- aement and child care, in order to make better citizens in this world as wife ' s, mother ' s (and fother ' s) of the future, the Home Ec Club soared to an all time high of 128 mem- b ers, an increase of 58 in club membership. This year the Home Economics club chose Barbara Uhter as president, Barbara Long as Vice-President and Phyllis Sutton, secretary-treasury, to lead them in their work ana activities. Joan Larson and JoAnne Taylor represent d the club in the House of Representatives. Outstanding seamstress, Annabelle Misner, a senior in Home Ec, has accomplished much in sewing and pattern turning out lovely wardrobe which includes a crocheted bolero silk blouses, slacks, a skirt, a corderoy dress and her most recent attempt, a tan suit. Having -one outside sewing for friends, Annabelle s ambition to be a seamstress will probably be accomplished. Lois Little, a senior and president of the Lake County 4-H Junior Lea ders won the St at e Food Preser va tion Contest during the Indiana State Fair of 19 7. ohe reached this standard by being the winner in the County as well as the District Contest in Food Preservation and Judging. Lois, who was chairman of the F.F.A. banquet on March 2, is not a Home Economics Club member but has been an active member ot the National 4-H Club for a period of 9 years. At a Lions Club banquet in December, Home Ec girls planned, prepared and served a delicious dinner .11 men in the scnool cafeteria for which they received much thanks as well as a $66.00 profit. With the aid of volunteer ' s from Home Ecclasses, £ banquet was prepared and served on March 2, to the F.F.A. boys and their fathers. As in years past, mothers of the Lowell Hi 9 School students were received graciously by ““ ters ♦ friends on May 5 at the Mother ' s Tea, co-sponsored by the members cf the Home Ec Club and the G.A.A. The annual highlight of the afternoon was the crowning o.a chosen senior girl as May Queen while mothers were getting ac¬ quainted 9 with one another and enjoying punch and cookies. Something new was presented to members at a club meeting. The president suggested they oirde.r HomeEc Club pins to distinguish memcers of the Club, the motion wa- carried and 32 girls ordered the black and gold pins. Working together with endless efforts, co-operation, aenerosity and thoughtfulness of each and every, person of ?he Home Economics department and clob is the policy held receiving the highest premium of success this year. i 1 ! ? i I s ! i I i ! •(•U.M-KHUI ' BUMTfc 6 ' .1 i i i I i I Ik- Ml- ■ J l • HOME ECONOMICS Top Row: Betty Junglas, Edna Reed, Florence Williamson, Ann Spannan, Ardist Lee.

The L Club of Lowell High School was founded in 1 31 under the supervision of Athletic Director G. J. Crowe. The club was very strong at first, but folded up after a few years. In 1943 the club was reorganized by Coack Mike Milakovic and has beer, functioning since. LATIN CLUB Early in September the seventy members of the Latin Club met with Mrs. Hetherington and elected officers for the year. Those chosen were: Ann Spannan, president; Joan Minninger, vice-president; and Darrell Cavinder, secretary- t reasurer. February 10 was the date set for the Roman banquet. The students participating were members of the first and second year Latin classes. Second year students took guests. First year students acted as slaves , serving the meal, and bathing the hands of the diners in true Roman style. For the evening, Clarence Dockweiler acted as master of ceremonies and Marylee Fleming ' s dog Patsy as watchdog. The diners ate in the reclining Roman fashion and used no silver. Mr. and Mrs. Brannock and Miss Cook were on hand to eat as the Romans ate, as well as Mrs. Hetherington. The banquet consisted of a relish course served first, including pickles, onions, and eggs. Next came the main course featuring wine (diluted grape juice), fish, chicken, peas, and carrots. For the dessert course, olives, cakes, nuts and apples were served. Fruit juice and favors were part of each course. The entertainment during the banquet and evening fol¬ lowing consisted of tumblers, musicians, and singers. On Honor Day the graduating seniors in the Latin Club were presented with Classical League Keys by Mrs. Hethering¬ ton. Those who received keys were Bill Sheets, Bob Colonev, Carolyn Hayhurst, Albert Pattee, Marylee Fleming, Bill Smith, Mabel Schutz, Barbara Viant and Lois Little. 1 ' nr wmri immi ' 4 uTTWIHiilllWWH ■ n 1! s ? i I i s v 5 ii I ! rz I ' MUI I i’ • It’i l| .

I • I i l i i SCIENCE CLUB President.Shirley Imes Vice-President...Arne Carlson Secretary-Treasurer.June Coiten To further the interest in science in Lowell High School, the Science Club was organized in 1934 and became a member of the Junior Academy or Science in 1935. _his mem¬ bership enables the club members to present at the btate Academy of Science scientific projects that the club has completed during the year. The members may receive special awards if their projects are deserving, presentation ot pins are awarded to the winning student on Honor Day. Because the Club ' s constitution had become too lax in its provisions for membership, the 1948 members decided to revise it making it read that no student can become a mem¬ ber of the Science Club without two years of science wh J h Qre th pv will secure a higher percentage of members who are l?ul Y y interested in science? Students must also, remain in the organization. The Science Club had approximately 36 members this year. The new constitutional reading made it necessary to postpone the initiations until next school year. Through many different channels the Science £lub earned the money to buy a new microscope for the school this spring. 1 f ? 1 !! i i HMfi ' C ' - .«■ r«r, h « •• . nm n n ; f t SUNSHINE CLUB Top Row: George Hatch., Terrv Miller, Russell Tuttle, Don Pattee, Harold Dnyder, Ronald Gross, Jack Heffner.

The plan submitted tor this contest was its swine improvement plan which is imple¬ mented by lending chapter-owned purebred sows to member. There were 48 active members in the chapter, 12 of whom were graduates. All of the members were on at least one committee. Approximately 4CO different activities, which the committees had set up in the program of work, were ac¬ complished by the chapter. In supervised farming over 7 5% of the members have long-time project programs, with 19 members having obtained purebred animals this past year. A total of 82 projects were carried by the in—school members completea 520 improve¬ ment projects, which included the use of small grains. Forty-two home improvement projects were completed as well as a total of 421 supplementary practices. The chapter took all-day field trips to the Chicago Fat Barrow Show, the International Livestock Show; at the latter the boys were guests of Swift and Company for a tour. During the past year our chapter has taken part in the 5 national contests and 7 county, district, and state con¬ tests, with team members placing in each of them. Nineteen of the Lowell F.F.A. members showed at 7 dif¬ ferent shows, including the International and Indiana btate Fair with winnings of over $4CO. Courses of vocational agriculture were first estab¬ lished in the United States in ’17 under the National Voca¬ tional Education Act. Within a few years, local departments in most states developed so-called Agriculture Clubs. These organizations were largely social and recreational in nature, but developed educational, self improvement and co¬ operative features as well. Such groups a3 Junior Farmer, Future Farmers. and Young Farmers, grew out of these smaller organizations. The various leaders of these organizations had in their minds a National organization. The good work of these smaller clubs helped to formulate the Future Farmers oi America and to launch it as a national organization tor boys studying Vocational Agriculture. The first National conven¬ tion was held in November of 1928, since that time the growth of F.F.A. has extended as far as Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and several foreign countries. The aim of the F.F.A. is the development of leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. Several purposes tor the F.F.A. are to create and nurture a love for country lite; to encourage improvement of farm life: to encourage or rural activities: to help boys and men to have confluence in them¬ selves and their work and to practice thrift and working to¬ gether with their neighbors and friends. ! l i I f E } j i 1 fl :.j i r i if 11 Top Row: Paul Phillips, Eugene Peters, Joe Kormendy,Jim Purkey, Charles Phi 1 lips, Kenneth Dockwei 1 er, Merritt Bussel- burg.

The big Panther Gridders brought the crowd to its feet on the first play of the game with a sleeper pass play which netted them 40 yards; but that ' s all they got. Lowell kept fumbling the wet ball and the rest of the first half was played in midfield. The second half Lowell drove deep into Griffith ' s territory. Many chances were opened for the Red Devils, but they dropped the ball. Lowell ' s green line turned in a surprising performance against Griffith’s veterans, keeping back several scoring thrusts. Crown Point 12—Lowell 6 The Bulldogs of Crown Point, a.rch rivals of the Red Devils, took the first of the two g ' mes this season 12-6 their first win over the Devils had an edge in all departments, dogs put on one sustained drive advantage of a Lowell fumble to Lowell opened the scoring when Harper scored on a 12- yard end run tor the touchdown.

Crown Point scored on a fourth period jump pass from Rosenbauer to Prochno for four yards and a touchdown. Hobart 6- Lowell 0 Journeying to Hobart, Lowell Red Devils were defeated 6-0 in a hard fought game. Lowell ' s line showed great i m¬ provement, holding everything Hobart had except in the third quarter when fullback Zajec plunged over left tackle for a touchdown. In the first half Lowell got beyond Hobart ' s 30 yard line and was stopped mainly because of incomplete passes. The third and fourth quarters, except for the first few mi¬ nutes of the third, were layed between the 20-yard lines. Lowell 14—Merrillville 6 Lowell ' s passing attack finally clicked against Merrill¬ ville with Eugene Lehman catching both passes thrown to him for touchdowns. Colony kicked the extra points. The Devils opened the scoring in the second quarter, chalking up the first touchdown on three consecutive passes, the last being MfcIMftMMMIH •M4JWUU an 6-vard toss from Terry Miller to Eugene Lehman.. The second half opened with Lehman completing a 77-yard drive by catching a 34-yard pass from Tom Sharkey. Merrillville avoided a whitewash when Maihofer went 47- yards on an off tackle smash for a touchdown. Lowell 13—Rensselaer 0 Lowell dampened Rensselaer ' s big Homecoming celebration by beating them 13-0. Sharkey opened the scoring in the second quarter with a five vara run around right end for a touchdown. Coloney kicked the extra point. Lowell ' s second touchdown came midway in the third quarter after recovering a Bomber fumble on their 28.

Sharkey then hit Lehman for 15 yards on a touchdown. Near the end of the game after Lowell stopped Rensselaer ' s last drive on the 23: Sharkey ran right end to the 30-yard line and Coloney took off through left tackle for 70 yards and a touchdown, which was nullified by a penalty. Noll 33—Lowell 6 Hammond Noll scored 26 points in the first half, finally whipping Lowell 33-6. Mike Hodor, Noll right halfback, ended a 70 yard Warrior drive with a 36-yard sprint for a touchdown. A pass from Don Kasperan to John Dermody made it 12-0 in the first period. Hodor scored again in the second quarter on a 13 yard dash around right end. Kasperan scored later on a seven yard plunge to culminate a 51 yard drive. Neither team could get started after the intermission, but Noll ' s Bill Huber finally scored on a 12 yard romp around left end. Lowell ' s only score came with about 3 minutes left when Bob Coloney intercepted a pass and ran 90 yards for a touch¬ down . Crown Point 29—Lowell 0 A 70 yard return of a Red Devil punt midway in the first quarter by Bullock was all the Bulldogs needed to hand Lowell its fourth loss. The bulldogs scored again at the start of the third period after a Lowell fumble on their own 20 yard line when fullback Ford threw a 7 yard touch down pass to Rosenbauer. Again in the third quarter Ford threw a touch down pass for 19 yards to Steuer for the finally touchdown. Lowell ' s running attack throughout the game was stymied as much by their own poor blocking as by the hard charging Crown Point line, an 18 yard run by Coloney repre- senting the longest gain of the contest. With Sharkey out the entire last half with an inhured shoulder. Lowell ' s passing attack fell to a new law, the Devils Completing only 1 pass for 14 yards from Hegnauer to Lehtnan. Lowell 7—East Gary o Lowell ' s Red Devils won their third game of the season against a big but green Last Gary Ldi son team. 7-0., with Lowell ' s next year squad nearing the brunt of tne contest.
