After a delayed period of E etting acquainted we chose joe Williams as our leader; Jim harkeyj to assist him and Jannie Randolph to keep the re¬ cords and the money. Dick Norris and Ray Connor were eli¬ gible to the L club. Lowellian contestant winners were Jim purkey and Jean Childress for their charm and beauty; Terry Miller and Patty Martin as the personality kids; for litheness and playing ability JoAnn Brownell and Dick Norris; Darrell Cavinder and Ann Spannan supplied the brains. We came back in ' 46 more confident and sure of our¬ selves, this time we elected Darrell Cavinder as our com¬ mander-in-chief, with Terry Miller as his co-pilot, Jean Childress as keeper of the check book and roll caller. Alter various discussions we decided on blue and white as class colors. We took a few more liberties this year by giving two parties. Darrell Cavinder, Wayne Walters, Dick Norris, and Ray Connor gave their contributions to athletics. we were well represented in the clubs. Ronald Gross and jean Childress, best looking; Jerry Little and Patty Martin, most popular; JoAnn Brownell and Dick Norris, best athletes; Ann Spannan and Darrell Cavinder most likely to succeed, were the results of the year ' s Lowellian contest. Terry Miller, Bob Carroll, andpatty Martin were elected to the driving seats in ' 47. junior play. Junior and Senior prom, and the selection of our Senior rings were the out¬ standing projects of the year. Tho se Websters 1 , was the title of the play presented by the class which was a hugh success under the guidiance of Miss Thompson. Magazine sales was the money making projest of the year. By .this time we were well represented by our boys in all athletic functions. Lowellian winners.- Lucille Schutz and Gene Lehman took care of the looks and glamour department- Marjorie Leach and Bob Gross headed the category for wit ana popularitv; Dick Norris and JoAnn Brownell were first in the division of sports; Joan Minninger and Kenneth Childress, were chosen as firsts in scholarship and ambition. We came back in ‘48, Seniors, with a determination to appropriate money for a hopeful trip. With class elections the women took over with Joan Minninger handler of the gavel, Ann Spannan trying to be helpful, and Patty Martin keeper or the money bag. We had several money making projects, anong the m the new idea of soup sales. Our Senior boys took the spotlight with eight on tne varsity basketball team. Senior Play Cast Herbert Go e.

SENIOR PROPHECY As feature editor on Ann Spannan 1 s paper,, The Blabbing Bladder, we were assigned to do a storv on - The World of 1960. And so, with malice a forethought we set out for Lon¬ don in our new jet plane piloted by John Beckman., the scien¬ tific wonder man. John had just invented an aspirin made of flea powder for people with a lousy headache. On the way over we looked down and saw someone in the water. Swooping down we recognized Pat Searle, who had star¬ ted to swim from London to America. But she got frightened half way over and was going back. When we arrived in London we were directed to the Built More Hotel, run by our old friend Dick Dodge. He asked if we wanted a room which over¬ looked the Thames or the Courtyard. We asked for one which overlooked the rent. Our bags (for clothing that is) were taken by the bellboy Herbert Gerst, who had gone to England to escape all the American women, who were chasing him. Later we went down to dinner in the Buffet Room where we were greeted by the chef Joe Williams. Joe always was good at cooking things up. When we inquired about a place ot en¬ tertainment, the head waiter, , z ® k ® Bl s s. elb gj r V? 3 0 ?° two blocks down the street to the Dick Norris Follies, star¬ ring “Che-Che La Borger and Pretty Boy Art Bessette (he changed his name to Art for professional reasons) ason ' s best musical. Our seats were next to Mary Hepp, the foremost critics of the day. the se- one o f Bright and early next morning (well, next morning,any- f way) we left for Paris. Ah, Paris, the city of romance, in- | trigue, and the new look. We were greeted by Bill Joyce, the = French Premier, who took us on a tour of the shopping aist- | rict. In all the store windows we saw gowns designed by Barbara Chappell and her husband Charles Eich. On one corn— | er was a store with the sign, Guaranteed not to slip, slide = or come untied. Entering we found it to be Margie Leach s | Girdle Shop. We also saw the office of Dr. Bob McKee, the f Psychoanalyst who psychoanalyzes psychoanalysts. And then | off for Spain, the land of the Spaniards. Here we went to Madrid where we attended the meeting of = the National Association of Bartenders, and talked with the | president, Carl Matury. At this meeting they adopted a new § themesong, Mickey, Pretty Mickey. Here we also say Mar¬ garet Lee, the political genius who is formulating a plan to 1 rehabilitate the U.S.A. when it finally goes broke paying § for the Marshall Plan. Margaret had married the great iny- f entor. Ernest Iliff, who recently invented a stepladder with- | out steps so you won ' t fall off and hurt yourself. Oil the way from Spain to Italy we were accompanied by j Haroldj-Karlson. Harold had planned on being an explorer, but after he married june Corten, they moved to Italy and he l became a guide. Harold took us on a tour of the Italian 1 .vineyards. After leaving the vineyards, we journeyed to | Naples and the cathedral, where we visited Frank Schreiber, | The Saint of Canal Street, and his trio of Nuns, Shirley | Doty, Edna McLean, and Doris Williams. Travilling from Italyto Russia we were stopped by Emily Miller and her band orwoman outlaws who had been terrorizing i the men in that reigion. She engaged in this profession to | avenge Crown point, and decided to let us through cause we ? were too far from being men. Among the members of her tribe f was the infallable man hater, Rosa Young. Arriving in Rus- I sia we saw an advertisement of the concert or the great sop- j rano, Jannie Randolph. Jannie was to sing Wisniewski ' s Son- § ata with six flats, and a basement. The Wisniewski was the one and only Adeline. After the concert we stopped at Norb- | ert Shroka ' s, if you smell it, we sell it restaurant. We I were disappointed to find that Norbhadn ' t married Lucille Schutz, but we thought he and Mary Mussman made a cute couple He told us Lucille was now the proud possessor of Ray Genge! i As we supped we heard a strange noise (auk-auk) and turned I to see the Cox and Patton troup of trained seals. we were I told they had gone into this business after Bob Gross and I Jim Sharkey (respectively) had joined the Foreign Legion. 1 Act two was Patty Martin, the Russian Gypsy Rose Lee who i had done guite well since the price of clothing went up. Entering China from Russia we ran across Kenneth Child- I ress and Nada Taylor, who had married and become missionaries I I of the Faith. Hiding behind the Great Wall of China, we I saw Louie Geib who told us he was exiled from the African j | throne for having too many white wives. Among them had been I June Camus and Ardist Lee. As we entered Nanking we saw I Tony Sacco selling Spaghetti to Chinamen. Helping him was f I his wife and secretary, Margery Saum. Running through the 1 streets we saw Joan Minninger pulling a rickshaw. In the j rickshww we saw Don Spoernor, the Big Shot milkman from the I ! U.S.A. who was not very rich, but had a lot of fun trying to collect his bills. We left China and he-aded for Nome, Alaska. Here we | saw Bob Carroll selling refrigerators to the Eskimos. Up ! here you can use them without electricity. Things were j really tough. We saw Rita Arends pulling her own dog sled, while the huskies rode. In a mining town we saw P.ay Conner, the Klondike Pete of i960 and his wife Klondike Eva who | ; was none other than our old classmate, Eva Pittman. He told f 1 us he and Eva had started prospecting when they were Seniors. | As we came down through Canada we heard rumors of the i I new player on Toronto Maple Leaves Hockey Team, Arlene | I Schultz, so, we bought our tickets from Wilma Utermark and ! I went to see the game. Sure enough, it was, and she was being | brilliantly coached by Puck Puss Woods. Suddenly we heard a sound (bark, bark) and turned to see Wayne Walters and ! Sophie Yacuk selling hotdogs. They told us that was where ; their business was going-to the dogs. Leaving the Stad- um we were driven to our hotel by the accordian playing I cabbie, Dolores Schwietzer. Early next morning as we were leaving the hotel for San f Francisco we noticed the scrub lady looked familiar. Peering through the soap suds we recognized Verna Berg. As we passed 1 one of the rooms we heard sounds of a scuffle. Cur curiosity got the best of us and we went in to investigate. It was 1 Howard Weiler and nis wife Pat Woods. Pat told us she was perturbed (mad that is) ' cause she had to slave over a hot = stove all day, while Howard worked in a nice cool sewer. Arriving in Frisco we stopped at the Y. M. C. A. and ! after a refreshing swim in the oool we asked for a towel. We ! were told tnat they had all been swiped by the cleptomaniacs Terry Miller and Gene Lehman.. After supper we went out on the streets to see the town and were astonished to see a sign which read If you can walk a tight rope, you can dance, I Come to the Paul Parmelv, Kenneth Meyers Studio. We de¬ cided to drop in on Paul and Kenny, so coming through the I skylite we saw the boys and also Norma Schreiber and Edna Reed, their wives, respectively. Leaving the Studio, we met Lyla Martin and Jim Purkey on the street. Jirr. told us she | was his third wife. He had married Lora Viddle in ' 52; she I deserted him in ' 5 3, so he married Marylee Quivey who sued : for seperate maintenance in ' 55, after which he shacked up j with Lyla and moved West. ; From Frisco we went to the Sacremento Valley,land of the fruit-growers. Among those picking oranges, most noted were, Elna Rudolph, Lillian Krueger, and Carol Jung. Also, in the middle of the orchard we noticed Lucia Lanej selling orange juice. Next stop—Salt Lake City. As we passed through Death Valley we met our friend Jean Childress. Jean had moved to Death Valley after she became a saleswoman for Twenty Mule Team Borax. in Salt Lake City we ran across (we traveled by car) a wise old hermit. So we backed up to see who it was. Looking behind the beard and wrinkles we came face to face with Joseph Burke. Joe told us that after his wife., Margie Dickerson., deserted him., he put up a tent on the desert and went into hibernation. We heard of a new c ity nearby, St. Louis., Utah., and went to invesxigate. We found the Saint to be none other than Louis Camus, who was disgusted with the world and decided to build his own com¬ munity. The city council consisted of his wife, Arvilla Collins, and the Sheriff, Mary Flack. From here we took the South Bound L.imited (It ' s limited to going south) to Reno where 50% of the married population are women, (in the day time.) Here we met JoAnn Brownell who told us she was looking for a man, any man, any place, any time,s any doesn ' t live here any more. Helping her with a pick and shovel, we saw Dorothy Brannock; she was trying to dig up a man also. For the evening ' s entertainment, we went to Jerry Little ' s You Ain ' t Got ' a Chance Gambling Emporium. Stand¬ ing by the door we saw Helen Hardesty, who had overcome her shyness, acting as bouncer. Butch was now 6 ' 6 tall and weighed 115 lbs. He told us that he had been married to Jetha Pickens, but she left him for her old occupation in Calumet City. From Reno we started up the last leg of our journey, New York. Parading up and down the streets was Lora Hatch beating on a bass drum. She told us her barber shop hadn ' t been doing so well since it became known as a Clip-Joint , and so she was drumming up a little business. As a sublime ending to our tale of horror we went to the L ittle Church around the Corner where Mary Hamilton and Aurelia Ebert, the organist, were performing the double wedding of Zern Hayden, Henry Kaszuba, Wes Schlisser, and Ronald Gross. They were doing this as a revenge for girls who dance with each other. The best man, maid of honor and ring boy was none other than Howard Genson. It was a three ring ceremony and they were having a circus. The notice of Darrel Cav inder and Ronald Kern ' s wed¬ dings will appear in later issues since they went with under SENIOR WILL We, the Senior Class of 1949., being of sound body and doubtful sanity., do hereby will and bequeath the following trash for which we found no use: To Mr. Brannock—a larger tractor so the one he has won ' t be so crowded.

The class chose Dick Sharkey as their able leader. Chuck Surprise., to lend a helping hand when needed., and Pat Hudson, to keep the accounts and money of the class. With the aia of their willing sponsors. Miss Baughman. Miss Wil¬ cox, and Mr. Milakovic, and the co-operation of the class memoers, they were able to accomplish many tasks. About twenty—five of the junior girls were very active in the different sports the G.A.A. had to offer. Then too, in the field of sports, there were eight boys who received major letters in football and two, their minors. They were as follows: Major—Leonard Brumbaugh, Arne Carlson, Elvis Midkiff, Allen Miller, Don Pattee, Gene Rust, Chuck Surprise and Dick Sharkey; Minor—Joe Dewes and Roland Hoffman. In basketball, Dick Sharkey received his major letter, while Gene Rust came out with a minor. Ruth Sauer became head drum majorette, with Jeanette Peterson and Lillian Fredregill also majorettes. The Junior classwas also well represented in the cheer- leading group. Three of the six cheerleaders were juniors: Charlotte McCarty, D ' Maris Amtsbuechler and Carolyn Kormendy. Three juniors entered the Oratorical Contest, which i3 sponsored by the American Legion, and they were Betty Enock— son, Pat Hudson, and Dick Childress. The class gave a delightful comedy for their junior play entitled, Meet Me in St. Louis. Also the class gave the prom this year, which was enjoyed by all who attended. This class has been very active in school activities during their third year and they hope to contribute much more during their senior year. JUNIOR PLAY CAST Mr. Smith, a St. Louts businessman .

This was enlarged by the arrival of sev¬ eral newcomeivs who are: Laura Hildebrand,, Norma Hildebrand., Carol Landry., Wallace Webb., and Betty Green. our class sponsors are Mrs. Hetherington, Mr. Ham., Mr. Jones., and Mr. Robb. As our class officers we elected janis Buche as presi¬ dent., Charles Faverty as Vice president and Theresa prada as S ecretary-Treasurer. The fellows took an active part in sports with Don Fredericks receiving a major letter in football and Dick Burgess and Jim Casten receiving their minors. Also John Doolittle., Charles Poverty., Don Fredericks., Dean Ruley, Rus¬ sel Tuddle, Wallace Webb and George Weddle received minors in basketball. The sophomore girls were also active in sports for the following girls became members of G.A.A.: Marion Black, janis Buche, Audrey Childress. Marjorie Engel, June Geib, Jean Gerner, pat Harper, pat Johnson, Betty Junglas, Theresa Prada, Carolyn purkey, Janet Smith, Doris Theis, Diana Van Dyke. Our class was also well represented in student govern¬ ment by Janet Smith, Dean Ruley, Jim Quivey, Carol Hands, Doris Theis, John Doolittle and Tom Gaither. We chose as our class colors maroon and white. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY What do we do next? was the exclamation of the 116 Freshmen on that day of all days. With the help of every one of our sponsors, Mrs. Vandermark, Mrs- Sisson, Mr. Du- Bois, and Mr. Sembower, we soon became acquainted with the whole school. j The Get Acquainted Party started the year off right. Then there was the Big Sister-Little Sister Party for the Freshman girls at which we began to feel apart of L.H.S. In October, we elected Carl Nelson to the class head with Dale Jackson, vice president and Anne Copelin, secre¬ tary-treasurer as his worthy assistants. The hayride which the Freshman Class held proved to be fun for everyone who attended. Different class members joined clubs but those elected to the Sunshine Club are, Gloria Burgess, Keith Doty, Joan Hawkinson, Dale Jackson, Kathleen McCarty, Carl Nelson, Pat Sharkey and Betty Trueblood. Those choosen as Student Gov¬ ernment Representatives a.ve Mary Lou Hall, James Coleman, Joyce Trueblood, Richard peters, and Ethel Enocksen. The boys in our class have done well in sports. Those who dressed to play on the second basketball team are Duane Ashton, Pat Sharkey, Keith Doty, Arthur Kasperian, and Carl Nelson. Our class members have taken part in music with a num¬ ber participating in Glee Club and Junior Band. It won ' t be long now and we will be graduated from the j green stage. ’••• ' • ! ••• I Ml ..HU MU STUDENT GOVERNMENT In order to bring about a better understanding between students and faculty, we, the Students of Lowell High, do hereby establish this Constitution. This is the preamble to the constitution of our Stu¬ dent Government. Our Constitution was written and passed by the members of Student Council in 1944 and has served us quite suitably ever since. The purpose of the Student Gov¬ ernment is to encourage students to use their initiative in developing their ideas into substantial plans for the better¬ ment of their school, its students and their activities.. Our Student Government is patterned after our national government and has a similar working plan. It has a Con¬ gress consisting of one House of Representatives and one Sen¬ ate. The House consists of two members elected from each club. The Senate consists of four members from each class, each home room being represented. The president and vice- president are elected by the student body. The duties of the president are largely executive; he enforces all laws, an— anounces auditorium programs and acts as a medium between stu- | dents and faculty. The vice-president presides over the Senate and performs the presidents duties in case of his absence. The Speaker of the House is elected from the House by its members. Both, the Senate and the House, has a clerk to record the minutes and check the vote. : : | Before a bill can become a law; it must first be intro- f duced in one of the Houses by one of its members; second, it must receive a majority vote in each house; third, it must be signed by the president; and fourth, signed by the I principal. No bill can go into effect without the princi- j pal 1 s signature. Student Government serves the school in many ways. it gives students practical training in democracy, it leads and j cultivates relationship between students and faculty, it creates greater interest in extra—curriculas activities and § encourages students to participate in these activities, and | i t serves as a trial ground for the future. Some of the things Student Government has done this year are as follows: established a Treasury Department, requested Open House to be held, and made stop and caution signs for driveway. in the past Student Government has proven to be effec- | tive and will be more effective in the future when students realize and accept their responsibilities. niillllliltlllf lilimii, tit Hilt) lilt M ItHIMlfW ...

The Press Club chose for their leader for 48 and 49 Darrell Cavinder. In the supporting roles as Vice-President Bob Carroll served., and Secretary-treasurer, Joan Minninger. Ann Spannan and Joe Williams represent us in the House of Representatives. Our most important activity during the year was our basketball team coached by Darrell Cavinder. Other important activities were selling candy at foot¬ ball and basket ball games, awarding the honor blankets and assisting in the production of the LOWELLIAN. BOY ' S INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL There are fourteen intramural basketball teams in Lowell High, one for each home room. Every one takes a big interest in these teams. No boys on the Lowell High basketball team f are allowed to play. The teams play their games during noon hours starting after the football season and ending before the baseball season. The teams were divided into two leagues, the red and I the black. Cook ' s home room, Cookie ' s Crumbs. were champs in the Red League and Cundiff ' s home room, Cundiff ' s Hot Rods were champs of the Black League. Both teams held a j record of six victories and no defeats. These two league champions played a game to decide the intramural champion¬ ship and Cundiff ' s Hot Rods emerged, 15-9, as champions in a close and rough battle.

His capable assistants were Vice-president, Doc Childress, and Secretary-Treasurer, Darrell Cavinder. in order to be represented in the Student Government, they elected Terry Miller and Arne Carlson. The L Club was orgainzed for the purpose of creating greater spirit and deeper interest in athletics, respect for the athletic program and good fellowship. The creed of the L Club which forms the Red Devils is. Responsibility, Efficiency, Determination, Dependability, Execution, Valor, Initiative, Loyalty and Sportsmanship. The club during the year awards a trophy or banner to the intramural Championship, Home Room. Award trophies are given in football for Best Defensive player. Most Valuable Player, and Honorary Captain. In Basketball, awards are given for Most Valuable player and Honorary Team Captain in addition to a trophy which goes to the man with the best per¬ centage of free throws. Our coachs 1 , Mike Milakovic and Keith DuBois planned an Intramural program for the entire year bringing in other sports in addition to basketball. The other sports were bowling, softball, baseball, horseshoe-throwing and touch- football. The home rooms chose a captain and boys eligible for these sports. This was operated on the basic point sys¬ tem, the winner of each game received points. The home room with the most points at the end of the year was awarded a trophy or banner on Honor Day. Latin Club The Latin Club got off to a fast and an active start this year. The members have all co-operated splendidly with the leaders, who were; President.Pat Hudson 1 Vice-President.Mary Schrum Secretary-Treasurer.Marv Hepp | Corresponding Secretary. Audrey Childress Sponsor...Mrs. Hetherington A lot of fun was had by all at the party here at school. The purpose was to initiate the Freshmen into the Club. The club also had a Christmas program which was given by some Sophomore girls. Also we wrote out a new Const- itution, gave a skit during pep session and bought dark shades for Mrs. Hetherington 1 s room. Movies on Central America were shown at the last meeting and enjoyed by all. w ' e hope to have many more int¬ eresting meetings, and to try to keep the Latin language the intriguing and important subject that it is.

JOURNALISM CLASS AND PRODUCTION STAFF Again this year, the students have received their school paper, the Lowellette, for only 25 a year and 15 a sem- e ster. Also your year book is edited for you by many of the same students who edit your paper. News tips and facts are gathered by the Lowellian staff and members of the journal- 1 sm class. These facts and news tips are then sent down to the production staff and typed up. Then they come back and are put on dummy pages., which are again sent to the typing room to the vari-typing machine. Mimeographing is the final process in the production of the paper Defore its pages are stapled together. The fin- i shed Lowellette is distributed to the home rooms by the Circulation Committee. The Lowellette staff of 48-49 are as follows: first sem¬ ester . Editor-in-Chief, Nada Taylor; second semester: Editor in-Chief, June Corten also News Editor for first semester; News Editor., second semester., Shirley Doty; Feature editors., first and second semesters were Marilyn Cox and Darrell Cav- inder; Managing edi tor., Dick Dodge; Club News Editor., first and second semester, Helen Patton and Bob Carroll; Boys ' Sports and Girls ' Sports reporters for second semester were Ronald Gross and Ann Spannan; Art Editors, Margery Leach and Bob McKee; Page Editors, first semester were; June Corten, Nada Taylor, Ann Spannan, Helen Patton, Rosa Young, Jane Parmely, Lyla Martin, first and second semesters, Pat Martin first, Dick Norris, first and second, Ronald Gross, first and second. The second semester page editors; Mary Hamilton Pat Searle, Bob McKee, Zern Hayden, Henry Kaszuba, Margery Leach, Marilyn Cox, Shirley Doty, and Joe Williams. The ad¬ vis or of this group is Mr. Sembower. The production staff for the year were as follows; Ar¬ lene Borger, Arvilla Collins, Ada Dickerson, Lillian Fred- ergill, Helen Hardesty, Lora Hatch, Carol Jung, Anna Kelsey, Joan Larson, Mary Lou Mover, Diana Poppe, Jannie Randolph, Edna Reed, Ruth Sauer, Dolores Schweitzer, Nada Taylor, Lora Widdel, Barbara Woods and their advisor, Mr. Ham. The Lowellette this year has been bigger and possibly better than ever before. The job of editing this paper has taken a good deal of time ana work and straight thinking from the students. But they enjoy their work and therefore we can safely say we have done a good job. The production staff for this year also deserves credit for the wonderful job they have done and their fine co-op¬ eration with the Journalism Class. This year the Lowellian Staff consisted of Joan Minnin- ger, Editor-in-Chief; Associate Editors, Ann Spannan and Nada Taylor; Business Manager Dick Dodge and his assistant Mary Hepp took care of the finances and distribution. Jannie Randolph and Patty Martin were the feature editors, with Terry Miller and Gene Lehman as assistants. June Corten, with the capable assistance of Ronnie Gross and Mary Hepp arranged for someone in each class to write the history. Our very efficient club editor, Carl Matury, with the aid of Helen Patton and Rosa Young, gathered information on the clubs. Joe Williams and Ronald Kern reported the sports events. To make our Lowellian beautiful, Marjorie Leach and Bob McKee took care or the art and decoration. The definitely informal poses of our fellow students found on the last pages of our annual were arranged by Bob McKee and Don Spoerner. SUNSHINE CLUB Under the leadership of our capable and efficient pres¬ ident., Joan Minninger, the Sunshine Club made plans for an active school year. Kenneth Childress and Mary schrum have fulfilled the position of Vice-president and Secretary- Treasurer., respectively. Betty Davis and Ronnie Gross re¬ presented the Club in Student Government. This year the Club welcomed eight new members into its folds from the Freshman Class. With the starting of the school term, each Freshman homeroom elects two students to represent their class during their high school career. The goal of the Sunshine Club this year has been to pay for a pop corn machine which was purchased during the summer Although our goal was not reached, we will be able to pay for it with a little more work next year. During the Christ¬ mas season, all of the members sold Christmas cards and Christmas wrapping paper. We also sold milk during the months of September and October. The money from the milk and later on from the pop corn machine helped us buy cards, flowers, candy, and baskets of fruit to send to students who are ill or in need. Our sponsor, Mrs. Hetherington deserves a special trib¬ ute. She came to Lowell High in ' 44 and began her sponsor¬ ship of the Sunshine Club that year. Every year since then, she has done a wonderful job of helping students replace gloom and worry with joy and happiness. SCIENCE CLUB president.Gene Lehman Vice-President.Kenneth Childress Secretary-Treasurer.Patsy Searle Upon electing Student Government Represen tatives, JoAnn Brownell and Leonard Brumbaugh, the Science Club was again on another school year. The Science Club was organized in 1934 and became a mem¬ ber of the Junior Academy of Science in 1935 This member¬ ship enables the club members to present at the State Acad¬ emy of Science, scientific projects that the club has com¬ pleted during the year. The members, if their projects are deserving, may receive special awards. To the winning stu¬ dent on Honor Day are presented award pins. Because the club ' s constitution had become too lax in provisions for membership the members of 1948 decided to re¬ vise it. making it read that no student may become a member of the Science Club with out two years of Science. Thus on¬ ly students truly interested in science will be allowed to become members. According to this system, the approximate amount of members enrolled is 33. Through various and different channels, the members of ' 48 earned enough money to buy a new microscope for the school last spring. As for this year, the constitution was to be amended, but was lost before it could be, so had to be entirely re-written.

Jones, senior band director. It ' s purpose was to help students who wanted to enter the concert band understand band co-operation and timing. It teaches these students to play together and harmonize,, which makes it easier to work smoothly in the concert band. They play the simpler marches and pieces and are then better able to understand the more difficult senior band music. This year, direction of the Junior band was taken over by Mr. Fred Marlette. The group is growing steadily and this year there were approximately 26 members, eight of which went into the Senior band at the beginning of the semester. CONCERT CHOIR The Concert Choir of 50 mixed voices this year has pro¬ gressed well and has added a number of new and modern choral selections to its repetoire. They enjoyed working on such selections as Fred Waring ' s arrangement of Cornin ' Thro the Rye and Vincent Kbuman ' s Hall e julah from the musical comedy Hit the Decx, Several negro spirituals were learned and used in the Spring Concert. The Christmas Concert was very enjoyable with the ren¬ dition of traditional Christmas selections, one being Silent Night sung antiphonally with the Girls Glee Club, who sang from the opposite side of the auditorium. The Choir helped the Band Booster ' s Club sponsor a con¬ cert by the I.U. Men ' s Concert Choir in February. Proceeds from this public concert helped finance the L.H.S. musical organizations in the District Festival held in Hebron, April 2. The festival selections were heard along with others, at the annual Spring Concert held in the auditorium on May 4. The officers for 1948-49 are: President.Willard Bessette Vice president.Joe Williams Secretary-Treasurer.Patty Martin Librarian.Ruby Lee Accompanist.Patricia Woods For fellowship and fun the officers planned a hay—ride ending in the Duncan Woods where hot-dogs, etc. were en- j oyed. FRESHMEN GIRLS GLEE CLUB Pat Hudson is the able accompanist for he thirty-two Freshmen girls that make up the Glee Club. They enjoy learning to sing together to increase their chances of be¬ coming regular members of the Concert Choir later on in their career. They participated in both Christmas and Spring Concerts. For the first time, Mr. Jones entered them along with the Concert Band and Choir in the District Festival held at Heb¬ ron, April 2. The Glee Club also appeared on the program during the Commencement Season in the High School Audi torium. .................. iill llli 111111111 MIXED CHORUS Top Rowi Mr. Jones, director; Ronald Sacco, James Wood, Millard Brown, Darrell Cavinder, Bob Carroll, Harold Karlson Henry Kaszuba, James King, Ronald Woodke, Glenn Buche.

Under the very capable leadership of Miss Marjorie Har¬ ris. our sponsor, and Jo Ann Brownell, oar president, the 1949 Girls ' Athletic Association of Lowell High School made plans for an active school year. This year ' s officers were: President...Jo Ann Brownell Vice President.Joan Minninger Recording Secretary.June Corten Social Secretary.Barbara Childress Treasurer.....Pat Hudson The Girls ' Athletic Association was organized to pro¬ mote interest in girls ' sports and to teach all girls better sportsmanship. That this goal is well on the way to being attained is shown by the fact that besides the unusual num¬ ber of Seniors participating in G.A.A. this year, many under¬ classmen turned out for the practices which were held at noon. Some of the main sports in which the girls participated are: Speedball, Hit Pin, Volleyball, Basketball, Softball, and numerous minor sports. Inter-Class Tourneys ended with the Seniors winning most of them. The point system whereby the girls earn letters and sweaters is as follows: more than four practices for each class are held in each sport; if a girl takes part in at least four of these practices she is given ten points, and is eligible for her class team; if cho’sen for the team, ten more points are given to her; she may earn more points in various other ways such as hiking, biking, etc. Formerly, the girls were awarded a letter when they had received 150 points and a sweater for 250, but last year a new system was accepted whereby, beginning with the class of ' 52, each girl must have 250 points for her letter and 350 points for her sweater. sa The Senior members of the G.A.A. were: Lillian Krueger, JoAnnBrownell, Jannie Randolph, Joan Minninger, Dolores Schweitzer, Jean Childress, Lora Widdel, Sophie Yacuk, Ros Young, Nada Taylor, Mary Heap, Ann Spannan., June Corten, Marilyn Cox, Shirley Doty, ‘and Marylee Quivey, Most of these girls had earned enough points for their sweaters. All of them have earned enough points for their letters. Other activities were selling pennants, which boosted the morale of our cheering section at the fourneys; spon¬ soring a Magician Show which was greatly enjoyed by every¬ one; the Athletic Dance given in honor of the L Club: and finally the last activity of the year, the Mothers Tea. With the election of the officers for 1949-50, the year was brought to a close. All girls who enter G.A.A. must take the following oath: I (name ) in order to become a member of the G.A.A. do solemnly swear that I will abide by all regulations and laws of the organization. I shall never disgrace myself or our club by snowing unsportsmanlike conduct. The G.A.A. Club shall always receive my utmost consideration and co-oper¬ ation. I shall endeavor to apply it in the pursuit of lei¬ sure time and I shall do all in my power to promote the interest of the G.A.A. 3 llllHlllltHlMtllllltltlll tlll|MIIIIIIIMII ' l lltttlMIIHIHIIIIIHI|lllMIIIIIIMIItllllttl|IMtlMIIHIIHllllllMII| l llHMIllHllllHMHIHMfltlllllt|lll|IIHIIHlltM IIMl IIIMIIIIMIItl|IIMIIMIII ••••■ ) G.A.A.

Chapter was active in all District and State I contests during the past year. Immediately after the Dist¬ rict convention held at Lowell, the Chapter started a paper ! called the Lowell F.F.A. Tribune., with Joe Dewes as editor., Jim Little assistant editor, jerry Snyder, head of the pro- I duction staff, and Don Termunde head of the circulation staff. The purpose of the paper was to inform each boy and his par- I ents of all the activities going on in the Chapter. The I first issue was published on March 5, and contained 4 pages. The Indiana State F.F.A. Convention was held in April, at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. At this con- 1 vention our Chapter was represented by Jim Quivey and Joe | Dewes as delegates. Paul Parmely and Kenneth Meyers State I Farmer Candidates. Last Fall we set up a point system for all F.F.A. mem¬ bers and recently it was worked out that all F.F.A. members who receive 200 points or more shall receive an old English L with the letters F.F.A. on it and these letters will be worn on the lower right hand side of the jackets. All boys who attain iOO points additional to the first 20Q shall re¬ ceive a chevron to be worn on the left arm. On March 14, our Chapter held its annual Father and Son Banquet which was served by the Home Ec Club. The guest speaker was Mr. Wiley Stone. Cn August the 24, the Lake County Fair started. Nearly all our members exhibited. The more outstanding awards are as follows: Merritt Busselburg had the Grand Champion Steer, Joe Dewes had Reserve Champion Barrow, and Jim Quivey had Reserve Champion ewe in the 4—H division, and Champion ewe in the open class. All total our members won 24 first rib¬ bons, 89 other ribbons and $337.55 in prize money. On January, the F.F.A. helped sponsor the March of Dimes Drive. This was in co-operation with the Indian Trail Grange The total amount collected was $1383.31. This was a total everyone was proud of. ....... ...HU...] -...tMIMMMMHHMIMIIMimtlMMIIIMMMlMIIIMItM.M ' MMlMMlMM.r ...ii.MimiinU ' . I F.F.A.

HOME EC CLUB The Home Ec Department, with the addition of several | new members, resumed classes once again under the super- ! vision of Mrs. Arline Vandermark. The Home Ec Club has been in existence since 1940, f when it was efficiently organized by Miss Amy Perry. To | qualify for membership, a student must maintain a specified | grade average, pass every subject taken the previous semester | and every member must be taking Home Economics at the time, | or have completed the course. The Home Economics Club has approximately 128 members § on its membership roll. This year the students representing | the club have chosen Barbara Childress as their president; | Marylee Quivey as their vic-president; and Ann Spannan as | their secretary-treasure. Mary Mussman and Norma Bahr were | chosen to represent the club in the House of Representatives | of Student Government. Under the supervision of Mrs. Vandermark, the Home Ec | Club sponsored noon dances; bake sales and a raffle on a | portable radio. The club, with their own money, bought a | new Bendix washer to lessen the work on towel washing. New | curtains and drapery material was also purchased, and as a | project, Margie Dickerson and Lillian Krueger redecorated | the room, giving it a gay and cheerful appearance. On March 14, the Home Ec girls cooked and served a | banquet for the F.F.A. boys and their parents. As in other years, the main event was Mother ' s Tea, given by the combined and rewarded efforts of Home Economics | and G.A.A. members. The highlight of the program was the | crowning of a chosen senior girl as May Queen. After the | program, the mothers got acquainted while having refresh- | ments served them from a beautiful appointed tea table. All year long, through projects, achievements, effort | and rewarded ambition, the Home Ec. classes presented their | parents with a very much improved Home Ec. room at Open | House which was held on March 18. Through co-operation and work in the Home Ec Department | the girls gain knowledge in sewing; baking; canning; cooking; § child care; home decoration and home management; home nur- | 1 sing; consumer education; family relationship; as well as | added pointers on the general run of a kitchen, and how to | keep it clean, tidy and v ell organized. . til I ■ ' • f l r 11 !•• ' 11 ■ i • ■ l ll.Hfc HOME EC CLUB DRiiiey Miaoipi j jtiorence wx li 1 rason , Marv Moyer, son, Mary Ann Collins.

Out of a large number of contestants, four girls were chosen to represent the varsity team., and two were chosen to lead the yells for the second team. For the varsityj one Senior., jo Ann Brownell; two jun¬ iors., D ' Maris Amtsbuechler, and Charlotte McCarty; and one Sophomore, Audrey Childress, were our leaders.. Marilyn Cox a Senior, and Carolyn Kormendy, a Junior, represented the second team. Charlotte and Audrey moved up from being second team cheerleaders last year to the varsity this year. jo Ann, D ' Maris, Marilyn, and Caro lyn were all newcomers. The cheerleaders were largely responsible for the or¬ ganization of the Pep Club and encouraged participation in the club and its activities. They also assisted in our longer pep sessions. We can be proud of these girls who have so ably done their part in boosting the morale of both players and spec¬ tators at Lowell High ' s sports events during 48 and ' 49. HISTORY OF THE PEP CLUB The purpose of the Pep Club is to create school spirit, promote sportsmanship, develop interest and backing for our athletic teams, and provide an outlet for the loyalty, pep, and enthusiasm of the Lowell High students. A newly organized club, promoted by advisor. Miss Har¬ ris, and the cheerleaders of ' 49 , the pep Club was readily accepted, andin its first year of existence has 185 members. Officers chosen for the 1948-49 school year were: pres¬ ident, Dick Dodge; Vice-President, Merritt Buseelberg; Secre¬ tary-Treasurer, jerry Little. Representatives to Student Government were Marilyn Cox and Harold Karlson.

Griffith 21 - Lovell 6 Lowell opened it ' s season against a tough eleven from 1 Griffith. Lowell ' s only touchdown came in the first minute 1 of play when Dick Sharkey went over from the one-yard line | after a Griffith fumble. | Early in the second quarter., Griffith gained ground and 1 pushed over their first touchdown on a sweeping end run. 1 Loweli then opened up a fine passing attack that failed to | produced a score, as the half ended with Griffith leading 7- I 6 • The third quarter wasanip and tuck affair with neither team scoring. Griffith took fire, and scored twice in the last quarter with a running and passing attack that the de¬ termined Devils were unable to stop. The game ended with i Lowell trying desperately to pass their way to a goal. Lowell 19 - Crown Point 6 or Crown Point 6 - Lowell 0 (Take your choice) Lowell got right down to business by staaing a passing attack that really clickedj to advance them deep into C.P. territory where Lehman scored on a double reverse. Later., in the first quate r, the Devils cut loose again for another T.D. The score coming on a T. Miller to A. Miller aerial. Just after the start of the second quarter, C.P. scored, after marching deep into Lowell territory,, on a long pass to Han. Lowell made their last T.D. of the game when T. Miller intercepted a Bulldog pass and galloped 70 yards. The Devils made the extra pint on a pass, as the half ended. The second half resulted in a dog fight with frequent penalties and no score. Because of an I.H.S.A.A. rule which is as follows: If a student attends a high school outside his home school dis¬ trict, and subsequently returns to his home high school, he is ineligible for one calendar year. Lowell had to forfeit the game, 6-0t o Crown point as they had unknowingly violat¬ ed this rule. Lowell 14 - Hobart 0 It was just too much Devil-power, as Lowell rolled over Hobart 14-0. After being held scoreless the first half, the Devils opened up in the third quarter, and passed their way to the Brickies 2 yard line, whereT. Miller plunged over for 6 points. Carlson kicked the extra point. The Brickies held on again, until Lehman intercepted a pass on the Hobart 10 yard line and carried it across. Carl¬ son ' s kick for the extra point was good to end the scoring. Lowell 12 - Merrillville 7 The Devils got up steam quickly and drove through the Pirate defense for two touchdowns in the first half. Lehman collected the first score with a 19 yard run around left end. The ball had been moved to the 19 mainly on a 17 yard run by Surprise, and a Sharkey-to-Carlson. pass that picked up 11 yards. The second score came as a result of a fine running attack that carried the ball to the pirates 1 yard line., where Surprise plowed over. Merrillville came back strong in the second half., as Molchanj on a play., spun 50 yards down the sideline to the Devils i, where they pushed it over in two line plays. Mol- chan skirted left end for the point after touchdown. Both teams were held back by inspired., hard charging lines the rest of the contest. Rensselaer 13 - Lowell 0 The Rensselaer Bombers splashed their way to a 13-0 vic¬ tory over Lowell on the Devils rain-soaked field. The Bom¬ bers brought the crowd to its feet when they pulled a reverse on the opening kick-off. and went to Lowell ' s 41 yard line. Then they sailed down the sea of mud for the first score. The conversion was good making the score 7-0. The ball slipped back and fourth between the two teams, with neither being able to score until the fourth quarter, when the Bombers blocked a punt that rolled out of bounds on Lowell ' s 25. They took aver, and fought their way over the goal line through a stubborn Lowell defense., that couldn ' t find anything to dig into but mud. The try for the extra point was no good. The game ended with Lowell threatening to score on the Rensselaer 6 yard line. Valparaiso 12 - Lowell 6 Valpo thundered off to a quick start., and the fourth quarter found our Devils behing 12 points., in a game that they were favored to win. Then Lowell got clicking, and pounded down to score on a pass from Miller to Lehman, midway in the final quarter. Sparked by this score, the Devils kept driving Valpo back, but the gun went off too quick, with Lowell deep in Valpo territory still 6 points behind. Lowell 20 - Crown Point 0 Crown Point fans saw their Bulldogs humbled 20-0, when our Devils opened their wildest scoring spree of the season, in the last quarter of the pigskin battle at Crown point. Both defenses were very effective in the first half, as the ball went back and forth like a seesaw. In the final minutes of the third quarter, Lowell took fire, and pounded down to the Bulldogs two-yard line but failed to push the ball over in four successive line plays. However, the Bulldogs couldn ' t hold Lowell off any longer and the lid was blown off entirely after the Devils returned Ruble ' s kick from behing the goal line to the Bull¬ dog ' s 26. Lehman then picked up 18 yards on a reverse, and 8 lowed through tackle for a score, early in the final quarter, arlson kicked for the extra point but it was wide of the .....iiiHilmiiimniMHimiiiHiiHiiimi.iiiiiiiiiil.i. goal post. When the Bulldogs got the ball., they tried a razzle- dazzle double-lateral-pass play., which Terry Miller inter¬ cepted on Crown Point ' s 45 yard line. The Devils kept right on going and crossed the final stripe a few plays later,, the score coming on a line plunge by Surprise. Carlson ' s kick for the extra point split the uprights. Later,, Carlson intercepted a desperation Bulldog pass on the C.P. 25 yard line., and carried the ball across for a score. Carlson ' s kick was good again. The game ended with Crown Point moving down the field on pass plays. Lowell 18 - East Gary o The Red Devils., paced by Lehman ' s hard running., riddled the East Gary defense., 18-0., for their 5th victory of the y ear. Lowell scored in the first quarter., when Kaszuba, after a Devil drive drove through tackle for 4 yards., and 6 points.. Carlson ' s kick was no good. The high point of the game came when Lehman received East Gary ' s kickoff at the start of the second half on his own ten, and scampered 70 yards to East Gary ' s 20; then a few plays later, he scored on an off tackle play. Carlson ' s kick was blocked. The final score was set up by Terry Miller ' s pass inter¬ ception, in the last quarter, on East Gary ' s 47, which he carried back to the 44. Here the Devils completed their only pass of the game. Mi Her—to-Lehman, for 15 yards. Leh¬ man scored a little later on an off tackle plunge, good for 7 yards. Sharkey ' s kick was into the ground. West Lafayette 13 - Lowell o Invading West Lafayette, the Devils were forced to take the short end of a 13-0 decision, in a contest which started during a minature cloudburst. Although the downpour subsided in the first quarter, the water-soaked field forced both teams to use a ground attack almost exclusively. West Side, led by Friend and Lutz, got their fast run¬ ning attack underway, in spite of the slippery going, and scored in the second quarter, on a 56-yard drive. Friend kicked the extra point. The only scoring opportunity the Devils had in the first half, came when Lafayette fumbled on the first play follow¬ ing the opening kickoff, andMidkiff recovered on. Vest Side ' s 20. The Devils failed to gain any yardage after four line plays, and Lafayette took over. West Side picked up the other T. D. in the third quar¬ ter, on a line plunge by Morrison, after a 30-yard run by Friend. In the final quarter of the water fight, Lowell managed four first downs in a row, for their only sustained drive of the game, starting on their own 30 and bogging down inside West Side ' s IO. fi ' iiiOHiiHWiHiiiiHiiiiHiiHiiiiliiiimiiiiiltHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitwiiiiiHitiiiiiiiimitiniiiiiitifiiiitinfitiniimiiinituiiiHiiiiuiiiii titnntntmnuiunnntiminiininuiimnnntniiiitinih VARSITY FOOTBALL Top Row: Arne Carlson, Dick Sharkey, Terry Miller.

Coach Robb organ¬ ized Lowell ' s team and scheduled 10 games with other schools many of them with large city schools. They won two of these contests and dropped the others. The Red Devils went into all of their games last season greatly handicapped by inex¬ perience. They lost some tough ball games by close scores, and were routed a few times by other large schools with veteran ball clubs. The Red Devils had their touches of brilliance and showed some flashy ball and smooth team play. The season wasn ' t too successful in the won and lost column but it was in the experience gained. Many good ball ? layers were discovered and the games were enjoyed by many. ifteen boys received major awards., and many of these re¬ turned for the 49 “ season, which should be much better in the won and lost column. The 49 schedule was as follows: April 4j - Lew Wallace.•..Here ilj - Noll Central.There 18, - Michigan City...Here 19j - Crown point. There 22, - Wheeler.Here 26, - Merrillville.There 29j - East Gary.

Coach DuBois was only able to enter his track team in five meets, beating Crown point in one of these and dropping the rest. Two boys on the team managed to break school records, Dick Norris in the high hurdles and Dean Childress in the half mile. Darrell Cavinder, a member of the 48 team, held two school records from the year before in the 100 yd. dash. Eight boys received major awards. WE HAVE We have.

SENIOR FAREWELL Four Y eQ rs ogoj we, the Class of 49, opened the door to a new future and a chance to further our education in the classrooms of Lowell High School. Our parents and teachers have worked hard to enable us to grasp the light that comes from learning. We are indeed grateful to our parents, faculty and to everyone who made it possible for us to have a high school education. Now we must close the book of our high school memories forever, and begin writing in a new one, for it is our turn to start as freshmen again-freshmen in the school of life. This school does not dismiss every summer, nor does it last four years, but for the rest of our lives. So let us look ahead, and be con¬ cerned with the enormous task that awaits before us, and to the faculty, students friends, to our dear old Alma Mater, we say farewell.
