All these moods are present during our four years at Lowell High School--moods and attitudes we will remember for the rest of our life. These are our memories. One may laugh at this statement, but ask any senior if he or she has had fun during their high school years. They will immediately acknowledge the fact that they have had a blast.. Homecoming, Little Brothers ' and Little Sisters ' party. Holiday Ball, our plays, concerts, Senior Banquent Junior-Senior Prom, and finally the culmination of our four years—t he Senior Graduation!!! Our years at Lowell High School have had many moods. The following pages will relate a story, the story of an average day at Lowell High School. This day is not of any specific date, it is the collection of all the days at Lowell. In this story, we will give you an idea of what it is like to attend school at Lowell. To us, Lowell High School is as much ours as if we owned it personally. This is a feeling which is shared by all who attend our school. ffttotnVo of a This is a view with which a student who looks out of the schools east windows is quite familiar. In the background we see the tennis and basketball courts, and the old base¬ ball grandstand. The grandstand was recently destroyed in a fire which was as mysterious as the famous Chicago one. Now let us view some of the early risers getting ready foe school. Doug seems to delight in getting up early, in fact, it looks like he gets a kick out of it. Morning has descended upon Lowell. We will, as on the previous days, have to get ready for school. We awaken, reluctant to leave our beds, with the knowledge that we have to go to the salt mines-School:!!: It really isn ' t that bad but, we like to think it is. We tumble out of bed preparing ourselves for the onslaught of another day. What happened here, I thought you were getting ready for school. Blame it on the alarm clock, just because you didn’t set it doesn ' t matter. It is almost time for the bell that signals the start of another day. As one can see, we reluctantly troop into the gym, bleary eyed and very discontent¬ ed. If school could only start an hour later, we would all be wondering if it could be postponed for still another hour. We’ll never be satisfied, but, this is the time school does start at Lowell. Gossip, gossip, gossip, that ' s all girls seem to do. It looks like Charlotte ' s juicy secret is going to be told, and will you look at Judy, she ' s curiosity personified. We gulp down our breakfast and saying good-bye, board our buses for school. Most of us do ride buses, for this is a rural area; one rich in agriculture and friendship. Some people detest country schools, but we enjoy the amenities of such a place. Students in our school are acquainted with one another, this is something that can ' t be said of larger urban schools. We arrive at school, bright-eyed, ready for another day. Before school we congregate in the gymnasium await¬ ing the eight o ' clock bell. This is another view of our school, as one can readily see, we have a beautiful high school campus, be it summer or winter. Trouping to classes we bid a hello to fellow inmates. First period seems to be second in length to the seventh period only. The day starts with many an ardous task. Ho-hum, another day, another grade. Why the grim look of determination on the students faces, are they really giving tests today??? Well, look who ' s taking a picture of us... Smile pretty Mr. Stuart. Ruth, you ' re not supposed to look into the camera. This was supposed to be a candid shot. Okay kids, it ' s cleanup time. Roger, stop trying to get your face in the picture. Come on girls, I know it takes you an hour to get ready, but you-ou have only five minutes between classes Oh no, those nasty old people aren ' t giving T B Shots again. Would you look at her face---it just tears me to look at her. By second period our drowsiness has vanished; second period is also the time when we start thinking about our stomachs-Lunchi;!!!!! Whoops, watch out Dave, Kathy ' s hurrying to get to class. So—o move it. What we need more of around this school is intelligent, creative, and industrious minds like this. Silhouetted against a lethergetic sea of faces, our debaters demonstrate the principles of debate. EXiring third period we often have auditorium programs. These pro¬ grams are highly diversified, and well-liked by most students. What ' s the matter girls, did George say a funny while he was at the podium. Hey, hey, what ' s going on here?? Remember you ' re in school. This was a traveling science show, as one can see, the speaker has captured the attention of the entire audience.This was one of the many interesting auditorium pro grams we had during the year. Sympathy, fascination and delight all seem to register their mark on these three girls. Does Danny Fox really evoke all this show of emotion?????? After third period we file to the cafeteria. We have, without a doubt, the best cooks in Lake County. Our lunches are so varied, that no one can say he didn ' t get what he wanted. During noon hour we have intramur¬ als and G.A.A. All right, who ' s rocking the cafeteria?? Watch the birdie girls. Hey Sue, you ' re not supposed to throw things, ain ' t you got any smarts????? Munch, munch, munch, the Juniors brought their lunch, eat hearty boys, for next year you have to run this joint, a job which is no easy task... Watch those seams, that ' s what you get for eating all that candy. What happened to those diets girls?? You shouldn ' t indulge in candy, it’ll make you fat. Well here ' s the gym again, don ' t you kids do anything except sit?? And now for a rousing game of chess? It is exciting for those who are proficient at it. Come on Bob, you can make it with Jack helping you. r When the twelve o ' clock bell rings, we unhappily depart for classes again. Fifth period is a bore; work, work, work-will it ever end? No, if one wishes to suc¬ ceed, it will not end. Work to success, is as necessary as oxygen is to life. We don ' t really mind that much, but we do enjoy griping. Sure I’ll get to work Mr. Miller—chuckle, chuckle, chuckle Sixth period comes, and all we think of is, It ' s only two hours until we go home. What a pleasant thought, one we savor. Sixth period comes and goes before we have time to think of it. Sue been giving you a hard time? It ' ll all work out Ronnie. Let ' s get that gym decorated, what are you doing sitting with the girls John??? There’s not going to be any hanky-panky in this gym!111! That ' s what we like, a worker right till the end, and the end is near. Seventh period comes and we start the countdown; fifth- nine minutes till freedom, then only forty, then thirty and finally, the last five minutes of drudgery- then-Freedom. ' IIIIII We happily depart, boarding our buses and cars eager to go. One-two, Cha Cha Cha?? What gives girls? This is supposed to be a basketball game, not a government class... It looks like Bruce has got his hands full, live it up King of the Irish.. Well Don, I thought you and Sherry had broken up, oh that ' s right, this picture was taken before that happened. As night comes, we descend upon the high school like a horde of locusts for our many activities, play practice, dances, football, and basketball games, and the intraclass tourneys. Playing patty-cake at the Y Teens meeting seems to be enjoyed by the participants. Night-time, and we play!!! Watch your step Ginny, wouldn ' t want you to break something or other... Somebody forgot to tell Mike that we were around, he seems to be engrossed in academic” pursuits. Did you just get out of bed Sandy??? I ' d hate to meet you in a dark alley!! The inteT-class tommies sure are a ball, as is quite evident by the expressions on these happy faces.... Win or lose, everyone has a blastlll Hey, did you guys forget your pants? Even if it is the tournies, you ' ve got to be decent!!! The picture turned out quite blurry, but the SENIOR gals won the class championship. So you think it ' s funny, how would you like to be in one of those skirts?????? Seniors at play, will Larry ever get up on that surf board????? Junior play, what a laugh... The Egg and I was well liked by all who saw it. So ends our day, one which we will remember for many years to come. We hope you have enjoyed this stroll down the memory path of Lowell High School. Okay Freshmen, wake up, look ali ve even if you aren ' t. Looks like a pretty good hand Toni, Larry ' s place sure was a pleasant place to spend the day after the prom. The students are not the only ones who experience various moods throughout a school year. Teachers are human, too! Believe it or not! The after effects of burning the midnight oil grading tests, the headaches of slow students, of too much work, of meeting chapter deadlines and of sponsoring student activities, all contribute to a well-rounded, sometimes rather agitated teacher. But then there ' s the enjoyment of a job well-done, the definite advancement of a slow student, and the rewards of assisting the students in their numerous activities. Yes, students and teachers alike experience the moods of a year. Lowell High School is capably managed under the direction of our principal Frank E. Dick. Mr. Dick ' s job is a tremendous one which requires much hard work, time, and effort. He not only serves as administrator of L. H.S., but as an advisor as well. Any student may look to Mr. Dick for guidance and help which he readily lends. A few of Mr. Dick ' s career highlights are as follows: Executive Committee, Indiana Association of Secondary School Principals; Governor ' s White House Conference on Education; North Central Association Visit¬ ing Committee on Evaluation; Arrangements Committee, Purdue Legislative General Assembly; President, Lake County Principals Association; President, Calumet Conference; Who ' s Who in American Education; Indiana Biographical History; Who’s Who in the Mid West; Legislative Assembly, Indiana State Teachers Association; Bureau of Entymology, United States Department of Agriculture; and, the Lowell Chamber of Commerce. As we well know, Mr. Dick provides the competent leadership which enables L.H.S. to advance continually. FRANK E. DICK RAYMOND FORBURGER and WILLIAM WEAVER Trustees Thomas I. Stuart, our assistant principal, is a very happy member of our faculty. Mr. Stuart is the Dean of Boys and takes care of guidance and attendance. In the years before, he taught World History and government and sponsored the L. Club and the Student Council. In his free time, he enjoys all types of sports. Each year Mary Francis Baughman s Trigonometry classes display a beautiful and decorative Christmas tree for the school to see and enjoy. Miss Baughman also teaches Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry. She is a junior sponsor. Her several active hobbies in¬ clude sewing and ceramics. The shrill sounds of whistles and cries of foul on red can be heard coming from the girV ' s gym classes taught by Evamae Bibich. Besides teaching Health and Safety to the freshmen and sophomores, she actively sponsors the G.A.A. and the sophomore class. After school hours, Mrs. Bibich has a bustling life at home with a husband and five children. Gerald M. Calvert is back at L.H.S. after a years absence. Mr. Calvert teaches U. S.

GLADYS HETHERINGTON The very active Sunshine Club has Gladys Hetherington for their sponsor. This club is a very busy one and it requires that a lot of extra time and effort be put in by Mrs. Hetherington. She teaches sophomore English and is a sophomore sponsor. WENDELL FREDERICK Prospective typists and secretaries look towards George E. Ham to help them with their task. Mr. Ham teach¬ es typing and has a great interest in this particular field. He sponsors the Lowellette and is the editor of the Hessville-Woodmar Lite. Mr. Ham is a sophomore sponsor. X ' • - Rosemary Huff ' s favorite hobby is sewing. This is indeed appropriate because she teaches Home Economics. A very busy task is hers in co¬ sponsoring the Home-Ec. Club, which has several active projects. Mrs. Huff is also a junior class sponsor. After school hours much of her time is devoted to her little son Mark who is five. VIVIAN HILE Sponsoring the Student Council is a busy taskindeed. Vivien Hile capably manages this job and in addition she also sponsors the National Honor Society. Both of these active clubs need much attention. Mrs. Hile teaches English and World History and sponsors the junior class. Harold R. Huff sees a lot of action during football season and for several weeks before during practice. Being assistant football coach requires much time and effort which he readily gives. He may be seen during games giving a word of advice and encouragement to the boys. He also teaches algebra and general math and he sponsors the Pep Club, the cheerleaders, and the sophomore class. F.F.A. is particularly fortunate in having such a qualified and interested sponsor as James E. Little. Mr. Little and his club boys enter many judging contests and have brought back numerous high honors. He teaches vocational agriculture and chemistry and sponsors the junior class. One of his favorite hobbies is raising angus cattle. Auf Deutsch is a popular phrase us- ed by Leonidas Miller our German teacher. German was offered at L.H.S. for the first time this year.

His school teaching includes bookkeeping and commercial arithmetic and in the past has taught other commercial courses. He also sponsors the Camera Club and Freshmen class. Instrumental music is taught by L. B. Minix. Mr. Minix sponsors Tri-M and the Student Council. H e also helps many students with t h e ir music by giving them lessons through¬ out the year.

She taught Junior English and Literature as before, but this year, she taught Latin as well. In her spare time she enjoys reading as a hobby.

KEITH PERRY Keith Perry’s first year at L.H.S. was a very active one Mr. Perry was freshman Biology instructor and a freshman sponsor He was the head baseball coach, freshman basketball coach, and freshman football coach Whenever he has a free moment, he enjoys photography as a hobby. Another of our new faculty members at L.H.S. this year was R. Dennis Plantenga. Mr. Plantenga teaches industrial arts and is the assistant track coach. He sponsors the soph¬ omore class. His hobbies include skiing and golf. ROBERT RAY Throughout the year, the L. H. S. art department, under the guidance of Robert Ray, makes beautiful scenery, posters, and props for clubs or class¬ es sponsoring activities. Mr. Ray teaches art to students with a creative talent and World History to sophomores. He sponsors the active Student Coun¬ cil also the junior class. Lowell High School ' s library is well kept by our librarian Geraldine F. Thompson. She helps many students find information for themes, research, or for their own pleasure. Miss Thompson is a senior sponsor and our audio -visual co- ordinator. Before becoming librarian, she taught Junior and Senior English at Lowell for twelve years. Paul Schuyler has a full schedule here at L.H. S. He teaches industrial arts and sponsors the L. Club and the senior class. Mr. Schuyler is athletic director and sees that an interesting program of sports is kept for the boys to participate in. He coaches varsity basketball and cross country and is in charge of intramurals. PAUL SCHUYLER John P. Todd is a very busy person indeed.

JUDITH VAUGHT Shorthand is very capably taught by Mary Alice Wilcox. Miss Wilcox keeps busy throughout the day preparing students for vocations in commercial business. Her office practice class sees that each activity has papers or programs typed for the event. She is also in charge of the bookstore. The underclassmen at Lowell High School are very active in the different activities. They have participated more than any other underclassmen in the past. The Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior classes, had an exuberant spirit, which was only rivaled by that of the Seniors. Underclassmen at Lowell High School live a charmed life; they help make up a school of which we are all proud. The quavering Freshman of today, will soon become the haughty, overbearing Senior of tomorrow. We only hope they will have as much fun in the process as we had. They will wonder, as we now wonder, how and when the new crop of Freshmen will grow up. It seems inconceivable to believe that the Seniors were once Fresh¬ men. ■ Ulnb ergra totaled Some sophomores pause on their way to class to examine the ring samples from which they must choose. A little work never hurt anyone. This proverb is carefully followed by the Seniors during the iniation period. The crowning of the freshmen girls began-for them- a year full of fun and excitement. � j ui tiers The class of ' 62 has had a busy year. Most of their time has been spent in planning for their prom. This was not however, the only project in which they engaged. The junior play, and the preparation of a prize-winning home¬ coming float also occupied much of their time and energy. The junior class officers; Steven Lindemer, Larry Cunningham, Jeanette Eskridge, and Doug Herbst discuss last minute prom details.

They are being worn by the sophomore class. Choosingthese sweaters and also their rings have kept the class of ' 63 quite busy. Along with all these decisions the sophomores have found time to be active in most school functions. The sophomore class officers; Bob Haberzetle, Terry Tuttle, Ruth Ann Gollings, and Midge Herbst, pause in the cafeteria to discuss important class business.

Many new experiences await the Freshmen. The first football game, choosing class officers, selecting queen candidates- these are all memory filled firsts in the lives of the new class of ' 64. As their Freshmen year draws to a close they can look forward to three more- each of which will hold as many happy occasions as their first one did. The freshmen class officers; Thomas Crisler, Myrna Loy, Susan Usher, and Donald McMahon, pause on their way to another day of classes.

A. A. , hard work- those after hours spent recuperating from a noon ' s ac¬ tivity. This is just one of the many, many clubs and activities available at Lowell High. Everyone knows the radiance and energy of the Sunshine Club, the dramatic discipline of the Thespians, the august showmanship of the Letterman ' s Club, the wild ecstasy of the pep club, and the subtle intelligence of the National Honor Society. We all look forward to participating in these clubs with their many moods of the year. rsxXxmxxtz Siuicnl Council Cokes, cokes, and more cokes. . . This is a familiar cry from the Student Council who sells cokes to raise money for the service of the school. The council to the best of their ability, tries to en¬ courage students to use their initiative in developing their ideas into substantial plans for the betterment of the school, its students, and their activities. To add a little excitement to the activities around school, they sponsor Homecoming, with color day and all the other thrilling events. in Homecoming week. The Christmas semi-formal is another event that they sponsor. Members of the Council serve as hall monitors to assist teachers on noon duty. This is, as you can see, a very worth¬ while organization. These students are chatting about how nice everyone looked on dress-up day which is sponsored by the Student Council. We just can ' t keep this punch bowl filledll Oh no you don ' t! Ron says as two little freshmen try to sneak down the hall. Officers from left to right are: Sharon Stack, Treasurer; Larry Perfetti, President; Doug Herbst, Vice-President; and Mary Alice Howkinson, Secretary. Hurry, Hurry-half-time is nearly here. : af iomil f onor Society Officers are: Joe Haberzetle, President; Joan Templin, Vice-President; and Donna Richmond, Secretary, Treasurer. Read ' n, riten ' , and rithmetic ... It seems this is something students can hardly get away from, but when they become juniors and seniors, they decide they were pretty lucky to have the opportunity. The National Honor Society was an organization es¬ tablished at Lowell High in 1960. The society was es¬ tablished to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service and to promote leadership and character in an individual. Officers were D. Richmond, Treas; C. Ham, V-Pres.; V. Zacney, Historian; M. Clark, Pres.; and Joyce Gerold, Secretary. The Modem Music Masters is an organization to help students to have a greater and longer interest in ensemble, orchestral, coral, solo, and band performance. It is also to increase the schools reputation as a music cen¬ ter; as we have all been aware of this year, our band has done very well. A B or better average in music, a C or better in other subjects, or if you have received a gold medal at state contest will make you eligible for membership of the Tri-M. For those with a flare for DRAMATICS! The National Thespi an Society, Troupe 1691, was organized to promote interests in theatrical activities. Its main goal is to encourage those with dramatic interests and to help improve the individual in his dramatic standards . Saint Patricks Dance was an exciting event when Bruce Milokavic was crowned King of Saint Pat ' s Dance sponsored by the Thespians. Officers of the Sunshine Club are Carol Gleason (with that sleepy look), Sec-Treas; Donna Wargo, Vice- President; Jannon Pattee, Corres-Sec; and Joan Templin, President. Sunshine. ... This club was organized to do just that. To make the sun shine brighter for those who are sick or because of a family tradgedy. The members of this club sell popcorn at all the football and basketball games dur¬ ing the year, and they also sponsor a couple of dances. The profits from these money raising events go for flowers, sending cards, and making the life of others a little Shinier. The members are chosen their freshman year and remain members throughout their high school career providing they do all they can to help.

Programs, programs, programs for sale! This is just one of the ways the Letterman ' s Club make money to buy film for movies of our home games. They also help aid coaches and help exceptional athletes obtain college scholarships. This club is to maintain and develope a high standard of citizenship and school moral. They also help to maintains democratic school spirit. It is indeed, a great honor to the senior athletes who have earned their letterman ' s jacket. They have had to work hard, prac¬ tice hard, and play hard. It is also a great honor and privilege to see these boys wear¬ ing them. We know they have really earned them. The members of the Letterman ' s Qub of this organization. Lined up for action are the L Club Officers Tom Milakovic, Treas; Larry Cunningham, Vice-President; Bruce Milakovic, President; and Benny Rouse, Sec. Pep Club officers confering with their sponsor are Sherry Cox, Vice-President; Karen Usher, Sec-Treas; and Mary Kay Rieke, President, Volley ball, deck tennis, and basketball are the main sports in G.A. A. This is the time when the girls get a chance to show off their athletic skills ; and believe me, there are many girls who can do just as good as some boys, The main purpose of G.A.A. is to promote sportsmanship, cooperation, and increase skills. The girls select dome members to attend camps and clinics so that they may all profit from what these girls have learned in extra experience.

After the pictures and visiting, its time for the dance. Everyone looks so pretty and fresh in their lacey dresses and neat tuxes. After the romantic dancing, its time to go out for dinner. When dinner is over there are usually more par¬ ties until the break of dawn. Before starting for the beach, park, or some other place of fun, they try to catch a couple of hours sleep. The Grand March was the last big event of the evening. It was a little crowded, but that could have been expected because the Prom was a big success and everyone had a wonderful time. Blow your horn!

Well Bud, I know I don ' t have the most beautiful knees, but they don ' t call me ' bird knees ' for nothing. Kay didn ' t always discuss knees in Lowellian but with George and Bud around a lot of funny topics were talked about.

Brenda Roberts was voted best actor for the Senior play. She was also voted best actor for her performance in the Junior play last year. Doug Herbst was voted the best actor in the All School Show. He well deserved it for not everyone can perform the way Doug did. Among all the activities at Lowell High School, sports is one in which we all partake. Sports help to build the minds as well as the body. The degree of sportsmanship one possesses at the beginning of the season is enlarged as the year progresses. Sports¬ manship is practiced by the observers as well as the partici¬ pants of the game. A person as a human being, is measured by the way he acts; in a game, or in real life. We are proud to say, that at Lowell High School the athletes as well as the observers are good sports. We had a very gratifying season in basketball, football and cross-country. Our wrestling team was outstanding; Lowell High School has been wrestling champs of the Calumet Con¬ ference for the last two years. We have, among all other fac- VARSITY BASKETBALL L.H.S.

Mr. Schuyler wound up his third year as Athletic Director, and he has worked with the an¬ nual ’Lil’ Devil Basketball League program for the past few years. Dan Molchan, our head football coach, started his coaching job at L.H.S. in the fall of 1954. He has accumulated a commendable re¬ cord with the limited amount of material available. His two ass ' t coaches are Harold Huff and Keith Perry, who is also head baseball coach and coaches freshman basketball. John Todd moved up to head wrestling and track coach this past year and is assisted in track by Denny Plantenga. Robert Miller acquired the head golf coaching position this spring.

One would have had to attended the games to observe how Lowell ' s stollid defense held the oppositon like a stone wall and how their offensive plays outwitted the op¬ ponents resulting with many touchdowns. Coach Molchan ' s planning, by using both passing ans r unnin g methods gave Lowell out¬ standing gains in yardage. Many tiring and weary hours were spent after school practicing in all types of weather conditions. The season began with the Football - O - Rama held at Gilroy Stadium with Lowell downing Calumet 14 - 0. Traveling to Grif¬ fith for the first conference game of the season, the Devils were defeated by a score of 19 - 7. The next game, the Devil gridders hosted Gary Edison who de¬ feated the Devils. Time ran out for the Devils as they approached the 10 yard line and lost 12 - 6. On the road again, the Devils played a strong East Gary team who has never beaten Lowell in their history. A field goal kicked by Tom Milakovic on the 33 yard line in the first quarter proved successful, pushing Lowell ahead 3-0. This was the first field goal everkicked in Mr.Molchan ' s seven coaching years. A spect- cular 86 yard kick off run in the third quarter by Dave Gerner with precision blocking by his teammates tallied the Devils with a touchdown which clinched the game with the score of 10 - 0. Again the Eagles were defeated with an exciting duel between both teams. How did Jackson get back there all by himself? Help! I ! ! I !!!! I ' m gonna git chou-right now.

The next game the Devils were hosts to a tough Gary Wirt team. Lowell was hindered by numerous injuries during the game. One of the injuries was that of Douglas Herbst, who suffered a concusion. The Devils, even though they had an in¬ jurious handicap, fought within a few yards of a touchdown when time ran out. The troopers squeezed by with a score of 13- With the injured back in the line. Fort Wayne Bishop Luers were the victims of the Devils at the Homecoming. Lowell fired up at this yearly event routed the Knights 33-13. The inspired Devils played a tremendous game against a previous un¬ defeated team. The next game the Devils were host to the Highland, Trojans. The Devils were leading in the fourth quarter 13-7 when Highland started to threaten the game by coming within a few inches of a touchdown. Highland, losing the ball, held the Devils from advancing. With the fourth down drawing near the Devils started using their stratedgy by getting a safety, which moved Highlands scoring by 2 points. Time ran out and Lowell won 13-9. Trudging through snow, rain, and mud, the Devils defeated the Portage Indians in a weather delayed game by a score of 7 - 0 at the Indian field. Still traveling, the Devils met our rival, Crown Point, and were defeated. Next, the Devils hosted the Merrillville Pirates. The game ended in a 13 - 13 tie with the traditional gold football be¬ ing shared. The last game of the reason, we hosted the Dyer Indians on a cold day, losing.to a strong team. Aw shucks, I should have brought my firm grip. Sitting: Larry Nord; Keith McCloud, Mike Snipes, Tom Milakovic, Randy Harkabus, Gene Fuller Standing: Jack Van Nada, Bruce Milakovic, Jeff, Wilk, Teddy Stokes Basketball This years ' basketball team had a very impressionable record. They ended the season with an 11 win - 11 lost record; with many of the games lost by only one or two points. The Red Devils showed excellent team work with the winning scores totaling more than the lost scores. With the aid of coach Paul Schuyler, both in practice and during the games, the Devils were able to total 1263 points, averaging 57.4 points a game, with 359 points in freethrows ( 62.9% frethrows made), and to accumulate 273 offensive and 435 defensive rebounds. Leading the Devils in points was Randy Harkabus follow¬ ed by Ted Stokes and Jeff Wilk, the nearest competitors. Wilk scored the most free throws. Next year the Devils will have only Randy Harkabus back from the starting 5 but with good teamwork and good backing should compile an even better record. The Devils opened their season at home with Chester¬ ton. The Devils, playing a team that had already played three games previously, lost a heart breaker by only 4 points. Fired up over this loss, the Devils met River Forest at home and defeated them as well as the next 3 in line: DeMotte, Morocco, and Hebron all away games. Still traveling, the Devils met the Indians of Ltyer and lost another heartbreaker by only one point the game be- decided in the last few seconds. Next came one of the bigger moments, the Lake County Tourney held at Griffith. Meeting our famous rival, the Crown Point Bulldogs, the Devils were able to stab the Bulldogs and meet the next challenger, who were the Dyer Indians again. Remembering the earlier loss, the Devils scalped the Indians with a magnificent display of teamwork The Devils were deprived the championship trophy; howevex; by the Merrillville Pirates who won the exciting game. The next game the Devils played Chesterton again in the Chesterton Tourney. Losing to Chesterton, the Red Devils met more Indians, only this time from Portage and ended up in third place by beating them. Playing Coach Schuyler’s home town of North Judson, the Devils plucked the feathers of the highly rated Blue Jays by beating them in a very close and exciting game. The next two games the Devils met East Gary and High¬ land and both proved disastrous for the Devils, but the se¬ cond game with Crown Point came out to perfection as we nailed the Bulldogs in the points for polio game. ' T ' ve got him, now you get the ball Reesel says Bruce Milakovic to graceful Jeff Wilk, while the refs aren’t looking. The new ballet shot, ” by Harkabus Still on the road the Devils traveled to the Civic Center and were defeated by Bishop Noll. Fired up over this loss the Devils then traveled to Portage and again defeated the_Indians. On the home court, we met Gary Edison, which proved to be an exciting game. With no time left on the clock, the Blazers sizzled two free throws through the hoop and the Devils lost a heart breaker by two points. Traveling to Merrillville, who were on a seven game win¬ ning streal, the Devils ironically made the Pirates walk their own plank this time. With one second to go, Gene Fuller passed to Bruce Milakovic, who made the winning basket. Thus the De¬ vils defeated JV coach Dan Molchan ' s Alma Mater. Next, the Devils met a tall Gary Wirt team and a powerful Griffith team and were defeated in these meets. In the sectional, the Devils drew Crown Point, meeting for the third time. Three proved a charm for the Bulldogs as they eliminated our Devils. Look behind you boys, I don ' t see any ball All in all, this year’s basketball team was highly rated, both by sportscasters and writers. Prospects also look good for next year. The sportsmahship award, this year.was won by versatile Jeff Wilk, who also made honorable mention on the all conference team. Also receiving honorable mention was Randy Harkabus. Bruce Milakovic was the recepient of the coveted ALL SPORTS AWARD. An athlete must excel in the sports in which he participates in order to be considered for the award. Bruce participated in football, basketball, and baseball during his high school career. Which way did it go--which way did it go.

Two boys—Grant Reusze and Charles McMillen--won second place honors in the sectional and were eligible to compete in the regional where each boy won one match and then were eliminated.

Although we lost more matches than we won, this team accumulated a 6-9 record which is the best yet. Eighteen boys reported for the practice—and among them were eight promising freshmen—giving indication of better golf for L. H. S. in the future. The team playing in the most matches was was led by Tom Milakovic and Jack Van Nada—two Junior returning lettermen for next year.

The Devils held many exciting meets this year and were able to compile a record better than that of last season. Although the Devils lost more meets than they won, they were determined to do their best, which makes any team proud. In a quadrangular meet between Lowell, DeMotte, Wheatfield, and Wanatah, the Devils took first place honors defeating the second place team by 23 points. Other meets between Morocco and Hebron also proved to be successful. In the conference meet the Devils took eighth place.

B Our baseball team, under the managing of new Coach Keith Perry completed their season with 4 won and 9 loss record. Their most notable accomplish¬ ment was in beating Griffith-the Conference champs. The Devils were ham¬ pered this by lousy weather and the fact that our pitching wasn ' t too effect¬ ive. .. Jack Jackson was the most consistent of our hurlers. Coach Perry re¬ ceived a sweet victory by being able guide his team past his alma mater the Crown Point Bulldogs by a score of 10-7. Jeff Wilk was the recepient of the Sportsmanship Award, and he along with Bruce Milakovic were chosen on the all conference team. Batter Up The guards at First Base Come on gang we need some runs. Jeff Henke - Student Trainer Managers are the assistant ' s assistants, who really work hard. There is a lot to do, not only at the games, but at the practices also. At the practices, a behind the scenes view would show them chas¬ ing footballs, lugging heavy equipment, (heavy to them at least), shin¬ ing basketballs, and many other things unthinkable by anyone except coaches and players. They usually come home with dishpan hands since they wash clothes and - oh yes! sometimes the coaches ' keys when they forget to return them. The life of a manager requires some work, but a little work doesn ' t hurt anyone. The familiar call of ... manager! still rings through many a manager ' s mind; as he does odd jobs for the coaches and personal things for the players. Mana¬ gers usually do not get as much credit as the team; but in the long run managers enjoy their work.

Many hours of hard work are re¬ quired to perfect the many yells and movements. They must provide their own transportation to a- way games, and they foot the bill for most of the uniforms they wear.

INTRAMURAL COUNCIL AT PLAY Left to right: Norm Liskey, George Malo, Terry Tuttle, Don Kretz, and John Nease The intramural program established by Mr. Schuyler several years ago has became an important and influencing factor in the activities of L.H.S. students. Many students who are de¬ prived the right to compete against boys from other schools obtain recognition by participating in all types of sports such as horseshoes, tennis, archery, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball (the sport all the girls like to watch), ping pong, track, and chess. Through intramurals, in which leadership is of utmost import¬ ance. Each participant should be able to develop a sense of co¬ operation and a spirit of competition. Intramural athletics, being held at noon hour both indoors and outside, is a program of games and contests designed for all boys who desire to compete. Intramurels are played on a competitive basis, with ribbons given to the top four in each activity. Also points are achieved by competing, in which the highest one in each class receives a trophy. The intramural council, now in its second year, plans and copes with any phase of the program. Every three out of four boys in the school participates in the program with the percentages rising rapidly as the program progresses. Ail in all, everyone participating agrees; Int¬ ramurals is a worthwhile activity. Gene Fuller, our four year singles Ping Pong champ, serves to Jay in semi-final match of tourney. The greatest sport at L.H.S. (the girls think so) is the Dodgeball game. Come down here, baby! ! ! I Senior boys - - The interclass tourney Champions We Seniors are approaching an important milestone in our lives, graduation, with the realization of the responsibilities that lie ahead-college, the service, establishing a life ' s work, and marriage. We sadly regret the passage of our high school days, but our thoughts will always be tinged with vivid memories of joy, dismay, victory, defeat, ecstasy, and depression. Yes, we Seniors express unique moods all our own.

It was a busy year for the Seniors of ' 61. The banquet and graduation had to be decided and decorating com¬ mittees chosen. The selection for the announcements received almost one hundred per cent of the votes and proved to be new, diff¬ erent, and well liked by all. Thisyear the Big Sister-Little Sister Party was all together different. Instead of lipstick smearing and the Freshmen trying to feed each other marshmellow fluff blindfolded, a style show and skit was given by some of the Senior girls, with refreshments following. The banquet was another exciting event and one of the last times that the Seniors would all be together. The arrival of commencement was a night long awaited; and then within a few hours our school days were over. Preparing our ring emblem for the big night required patience and skill. Getting chairs in order and the auditorium decorated was big task, but well done. Here we attempt to get our ”jabbering done before having to go up on the stage. to never come to an end. Keeping in step and in time with the music was one of our biggest worries. What we all had been waiting for - our diplomas. Here, Mr. Dick hands out the hard-worked for awards to Valedictorians Barbara Sullivan and Brenda Roberts and the Salutatorian award to Joan Templin.
