One of the most active clubs around school is the Girls ' Athlectic As¬ sociation. Besides putting on a marvelous Follies this year, the girls also sponsored the dance after the Morocco game. In order to encourage everyone to participate in sports, points were awarded, such as 10 points for 4 practices and 10 extra points if a girl gets on the first team. A girl must have 100 points before taking the G.A.A. oath. When 150 points are made, a letter is awarded and at 250, one is entitled to a sweater. This system was started last year. Intramural sports included: basketball, speedball, hit-pin, and softball. A majority vote ruled that basketball leagues should be formed instead of taking up volleyball. There were ten leagues and ten captains. The purpose of this club is to promote good sportsmanship and stress the consideration of others. Under the able leadership of our advisor, Miss Lois Kruger, and our president, Sue Nixon, the Follies proved to be the highlight of ’52. (Seniors): J. McNay; L. Labosky; J. Wor¬ ley; M. Purcell; J.

Or¬ ganized in 1931, this club consists of boys who have earned a major letter in any sport in Lowell High School. It proposes o deeper interest in, and a more wholesome respect toward athletics. The “L” Club Creed stands for respon sibility, efficiency, determination, dependability, execution, valor, initiative, loyalty, and sportsmanship which this year ' s members hove certainly done a wonderful job towards promoting. The club, during the year, awards trophies for the outstanding athlete and best defensive man in football who were John Bruce and Robert Black, respec¬ tively. Trophies were awarded in basketball, also.

PRESS CLUB The main function of the Press Club is to interest students in the field of journalism. Their one achievement every year is the Honor Blanket which the Press Club purchases and awards to the most outstanding senior girl and boy. Throughout the year this is their goal for making money. To represent the club in the House of Representatives were Donna Donnelly Don Midkiff. The Press Club rated high among the student body when they came out with the selling of Union and Confederate hats. They sold them during the noon hour in the main hall. It was quite a contest at L. H. S. to see who rated the most — the North or South. They traveled to Chicago and toured the Lakeside Press and the Tribune Building, by the careful planning of their co-operative leaders. The surprise that the Press Club came out with was the selling of L. H. S. Booster pins during the sectionals. This year the Press Club was very active and will continue to be active in future years.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club at Lowell High School originated in the year of 1950. This club’s purpose is to promote interest in photography and to teach photography in detai I. The club’s most talked about project is the dark room. The use of this room was resumed last year for the purpose of developing pictures. This year the room is almost completely refurnished with the proper developing equipment. The Camera Club this year has purchased flood lamps in order to take photo flood pictures. The club entered the 1952 Annual Snapshot Contest and is very much inter¬ ested in having rivalry between Lowell and Crown Point concerning these snap¬ shots. The students have worked primarily on table-top snapshots. They have learned how to use all kinds of cameras and thread the projector. The club took pictures for the “Snow Frolic Christmas dance. The students also took snapshots for the Lowellian. The club has surely lived up to its name as the Camera Club.’’ , | f JUr-V s y W ' -y, $ ■ - V j® ’ f T l : v v S tJm SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club has been in existence for many years.
