g h School Cowell High School Cowell, w Jndiam k., You have all heard of the Knights of the Round Table, and at our school we have the round tables. Unfortunately we don ' t have the knights just teachers to make us eat properly! I OWE The hallowed halls of Lowell could more properly be called the hollowed halls of Lowell in this picture. However, at the sound of the class bell students will pour from the rooms to fill the halls with pandemonium. - 2 - J V ' fc cs Underclassmen i ' 92 Specif Events iAN I9E3 Why do you disect sharks in biology class? What motivated you to spend so many hours on your term paper? Why were you so proud to wear your new class sweaters and rings? What caused you athletes to be able to endure those long hours of practice? It was desire..a little six letter word which can mold our lives forever. ’What is desire? It is a longing or an inner motive to achieve a goal. The goals of dif¬ ferent students are varied just as their desires are varied. This var¬ iation in desires and goals is the reason L.H.S. offers so many differ¬ ent subjects and activities for stu¬ dents to participate in. - 4 - che desire for achievement motivates us. The National Honor Society increased its membershin tremendously this year as twenty new members underwent the rigors of the initiation ceremony. Shewn above is Walter Meyers, coming all who were in attendance. Chuck Purkey stands erect and proudly in his letterfnan jacket. He as well as the others who earned their jackets this year has a perfect right to feel proud at their accomplishment. the Society ' s president, wel- A new and welcome addition to Lowell High School was the occupational file. The file is located in the library and contains material which pertains to almost all occupations. To further aid the students there are also some personal guidance books which cover subject from how to Take a Test to Becoming Men and Women. With a sigh of relief and a look of pride the seniors prepare to take the mile walk. Unlike a person on death row, who walks to his destruction the seniors feel as if they are walking to their eventful freedom. Busy as bees could well describe these home ec girls. Many hours are spent working on the numerous sewinp projects. The girls, however, always find that the satisfaction of the finished product is worth everything they nut into it. tW � TT H vc. ! � tj ' I I As can be expected there is always some clowning around in every class. Here Ernie tries his hypnotic powers on Dan, Luckily for Dan only people with average or above average mentality can be hypnotized. These girls exhibit their ability at speakinp when they debate in speech and dramatics class. With their hair flying, the girls tumble their way through gym class. - 8 The ping pong ball seems to be holding the attention of P.onny and Chuck as they practice for the doubles table tennis tourneys. Ihese junior students really put the emphasis on ' fun ' as they prepare the stage for the Junior Play! Senator Horsefly Feddeler is at it again! As in previous years the govern¬ ment classes tried their hand at the business of Congress. More often than not it was simply monkey-business. Cittle can be accomplished without participation. The agriculture students relax and enjoy themselves at the F.F.A. banquet. Through this organization the boys who took agriculture ore- pared themselves for a future in faming. Archery, one of the up and coming pastimes, has made its effect felt in Lowell ' s intramural program. This in¬ tramural activity takes muscular coor¬ dination as well as a keen eye. Shown here are some of the archery participants getting their range on the targets. It was through the participation of all the members of the solid geometry class that the Christmas tree was such a big success again this year. Our band, under the leadership of Mr. Minix, and our choir, under the leadership of Mr. Frederick, sang and played their way into the hearts of the people during the Christmas Concert. The choir sang many old favorite Christmas carols. To add spice to the evening separate groups of the choir sang such songs as Deck the Halls, A Christinas Carol, and Each Christmas Night. Following the Choir ' s glowing Derformance, the band played a medley of Christmas songs. The Carol of the Drum seemed to draw the greatest interest from the audience. As a grand finale the band accompanied the choir in three songs for Christmas. Our desire to team is displayed in the classroom.. Study hall affords all stu¬ dents the opportunity to catch up on any work that they are behind in and also it gives them a chance to hear the latest gossip. The drafting classes present a atmosphere than most other class¬ rooms. In this class each student works at the rate which is best suited for himself, thereby learn¬ ing hew to schedule his time to accomplish the best possible per¬ formance. 12 The freshmen biology students in this picture depict a typical classroom scene at Lowell High School. The frogs that can be seen on the desks, will eventually be disected to help them in their studies. The hot fire can ' t melt the determination of these students who participate in welding shop. The welding machines give the resounding hum of progress as the boys prepare themselves for an occupation. Precision is the best word to des¬ cribe the physics experiment. Mike and Tom focus their attention on their work as they try to find the specific heat of different metals. Yours is not to reason why, yours is but to dodge or die. This is the motto of the pedestrians of Lcwell when they see one of the dri¬ vers ' training students coming. One of the most satisfying classes is Miss Baughman ' s solid geometry class. Near the Christmas season, the boys and girls anxiously await the enjoyment of making Christmas ornaments. - 14 - One of the most enjoyable moments of the chemistry class was the day they visited the Lcwell water works. The class was shewn the system of valves and pipes by Mr. Bartholomew. With little restraint the girls climbed over obstacles and up ladders as well, if not better than the boys, Because the metal lathe is so intricate the opportunity to work with it is afforded only to senior boys who have had at least three previous years of shop. Individual instruction is given to Kippy Gorball, one of the many freshmen who has entered the band this vear. He is being taught by Mr. Minix, our able band leader. Because the competion is so great many hours of diligent study and practice are necessary to meet the demands of the band. 15 - We attend because we have the desire to attend. Here in vivid color is the Lowell High School Pep Club. Loyalty, spirit, and enthusiasm are displayed at the L.H.S. sports events by these girls. Does this look familiar to anyone? It should because it ' s an every hour occurence during a school day. There is one advantage, however, to crowded halls—the students all share a feeling of togetherness! Lunch is over and the students reluctantly leave the gym to go back to class. The students try to walk through the confusion of the parking lot as they leave the hallowed halls of good old Lowell High to go hone.and do some homework? One can immediately see the enthusiasm which these students shew as they.oreDare their lessons for the next day. Victory! Victory! is our cry The ore-game pep sessions-give the students a chance to build up enthusiasm for the up-goming game. With orecision and accuracy the cheerleaders lead the group in the cheers. Oh those pen buses! The oeo buses are the school 1 s oortable oeo sessions, On the buses all inhibitions are left behind as everyone screams their way to East Chicago Washington. - 18 - People are funny! Notice the many varied expressions on these spectators. Some are haopv, some worried, and some ill. How can one moment cause such a variety of feelings? Lcwell ' s track team takes a good pose as it has three boys running in the lead as they near the end of the high hurdle race. Reggie attempts another shot as Lowell puts on a great spluree of power. - 19 - Our desires and goals are accomplished with work. Ernie Anderson and Larry Hitzeman prepare to print more pictures as the yearbook goes in¬ to the final days of preparation. These two boys began learning the art of photography. Our librarians are not always female as is shown by Dale Woodke and Hay Szaraiach. These two boys do a fine job of keeping order in the confusion of the library. - 20 - The office girls have their work cut out for them, as they check the attendance, search through files, and do any of a million other things that the oersonnel find necessary for the girls ' attention. Ernie Anderson attempted a little humor when he took on the job of Master of Ceremonies at the Thespian Talent Show. His wit was great¬ ly appreciated by the audience. Dodgeball is a game that separates the boys from the girls. Here Paul Russell fires the ball with all of his strength. - 21 - Midge is caught rushing to and fro as she works selling cokes be¬ tween halves of a basketball game. Mike Moody is shewn taking a test in course 309, which is our breaking and entering class. Un¬ fortunately this class is limited in enrollment. - 22 - Midge and Linda do their part in de¬ corating for the Mothers ' Tea. It is through the effort of these girls that the Mothers ' Tea is such a beautiful event. The unsung heroes of our basketball oropran are those boys who eagerly carry out the dutv of taking statistics dur¬ ing the games. Through their diligent work, the coach is able to find weaknesses in the team. hat would a football or basketball game be without a nrogram? These boy ' s don ' t plan to let us know as they scour the snorting events ' looking for orospective buyers. - 23 - Peggy goes into one of her tantrums as the rest of the girls look on. It seems they could at least call a doctor. The adults seem to be giving the food a critical eye as they serve themselves during the Letterman ' s banquet. 24 - Wouldn ' t you knew it!! These sneaky girls accomplished the improb¬ able through their charms. They were able to get the boys to dance during the noon hour. Unbelievably, the boys seem to be enjoying itl Mike Moody and Bob Myers keep us entertained during the noon hours and at the dances after the games by spin¬ ning records. Our after-game dances are enjoyed by both the boys and the girls. These are the few times that the girls can entice the boys onto the floor. If nothing else is accomplished at these dances at least the floor is kept clean! The Latin Club put cn quite a fruity banquet this year, as they served every fruit delicacy from grapes to apples. From the looks of the students the banquet was a fruit success. - 26 - kfell girls, it only haooens twice in the four years of high school. Of course I mean the Big Sister Little Sister Party, Unlike other years, the Seniors entertained their little sisters with a crazy fashion show. - 27 - faculty Although we seldom think about it, without our faculty our goals and desires would be meaningless. The faculty members oush us on and give us the spark which is needed to make us accomplish our goals. To the faculty we say, Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your friendship.

Basketball, volleyball, deck tennis, ping pong, and badminton are just a few of the athletic endeavors of the girls. The noon hour and after school the girls could be seen and heard taking an active part in their games. This year all the teams were evenly matched and there had to be play-offs for the champion¬ ship of a few of the sports, which lent to the excitement of the different sea¬ sons. But win or lose the girls really enjoyed themselves. One of the most beautiful events in Lcwell High School is the Mothers ' Tea. This program is one of the responsibilities of the GAA and every year it is more wonderful than the last. — Rumors V -f— Home Economics Club Margie Rutkowske, President Sandi Zander, Secretary Linda Swett, Treasurer Prudi Clifford, Vice-President (absent) The wives and homemakers of the future are being trained right here in Lowell High School, Cooking and sewing are just a couple of the things the girls learn to do at their meetings.

Club is a co-spon¬ sor of the Mothers Tea, upon which they do a splendid job. - 54 - Cat in Club Is my toga straight? Are we suppose to eat this food with our fingers? Bring on the wine, I mean the grape juice! This is just a sample of the remarks heard at the second annual Advocati Latini banquet. Only in its second year the Latin Club has made a great deal of progress. Under the supervision of their sponsor, Mr. Frederick, the active members who are second year Latin students, hold their meet¬ ings every other Friday. At these meetings the club members learn about Latin culture and life. As in last year ' s banquet, the first- year Latin students were the slaves. This act of serving as slaves is an initiation into the club for them. The job of a slave is to entertain the masters for the whole evening. It requires a lot of work, but the slaves, as well as the masters, enjoy themselves. Even new, the students are looking forward to next year.

The school newspaper was in very capable hands this year. The students pictured on this page worked very hard to produce a newspaper the students of Lowell High could be proud of. Few people realize the work re¬ quired in putting out a school paper. There are people to interview, dead- imes to be met, information to gather and finally typing the article up and pasting it down. Mr. Ham, Mrs. Schafer, and the staff have every right to be proud of their fine work. Norma Alexander, Editor Linda Little, Supervising Editor National Honor Society Linda Little, Vice-President Walter Meyers, President Ruth Kretz, Secretary-Treasurer The brainiest organization in Lowell High School is the National Honor Society. The Honor Society is made up of Juniors and Seniors who have maintained at least a 3.2 average in their high school studies. It is a great honor to belong to this organization and like everything else worth¬ while it requires work and lots of it. The members of the Society are hardworking stu¬ dents and they have earned a well deserved honor, membership in the Lcwell High School Sumna Cum Laude Chapter number 8295, of the National Honor Society. When a boy gets his letter sweater it is a big day in his life. Suddenly, this boy, no matter hew small, becomes a letterman! To the new letterman it is a culmination of many long, hard hours of work in a specific field of athletics. Our lettermen can gain their major letters in seven fields of athletics at Lowell High School. They are: cross country, football, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, and base¬ ball. As everyone knows the pinnacle of success for these lettermen is the winning of a L jacket in their senior year, but for those who don ' t attain a jacket, there is still the glory of having won even only one letter. A special organization was formed for our athletes many years ago. The L Club is a big cog in our high school life. Under the direc¬ tion of Mr, Schuyler, the club ' s sponsor, the lettermen have made quite a name for themselves. This year as usual the L Club has sold programs to raise the funds in their treasury. But a few new activities were undertaken this year. To increase the slowly decreasing school spirit, the club started sponsoring the fan bus to the away games. Another new activity was the lettermen ' s L block. Besides adding color to the pep block, their cheering was a very good improvement. Slcwly, the oep and school spirit increased until it reached its r eak at the sec¬ tionals. CettemcH’s Club Bob Griesmer, Secretary-Treasurer, Dan Herbst, Historian, Tom Beckman, Vice-President, Chuck Purkey, President Pep Club members cheering for another two pointer and......... As in former years the Pep Club was made up of only girls. The membership grew to 150 loud, shrill voices. Although the maior teams in school, football and basketball, were lacking in the win department this year, there were always Pep Club members present. Riding the L Club fan bus to the away games was the main means of transportation for the underclassmen and there was always a full bus. Probably the most colorful club in Lcwell High School is the Pep Club, which is very much in evidence on the color pages of our 1963 Lowellian, Reggie aims to please. OFFICERS: Reta Clinton, Secretary, Dianne Roberts, Treasurer, Zella Jo Searle, Vice-President, Nancy Dinsmore, President At the games the Pep Club combined with the L Club and the pep and enthusiasm increased with every game. The climax to the school spirit was reached at the East Chicago Sectional when the Fighting Red Devils played the Hammond Tech Tigers in an over time thriller. Pep Club ■fe. Student Council Barbara Taylor, Vice-President Midge Herbst, President The voice of the students in any high school is the Student Council and Lcwell High School is no exception. The Student Council is an important organization, but like everything else it cannot succeed without the co-operation of the students. As usual the Council members were in charge of the refreshment stand during the athletic events. By selling pop the treas¬ ury was kept full. Instead of a Christmas Formal this year, the Council sponsored a Mid-Winter Formal at the end of January. Running a high school is a difficult task, but with the help of the Student Council, the job is made a little bit eas¬ ier. - 60 - Sunshine Club Living up to its name is the primary job of the Sunshine Club. Bringing sun¬ shine by the way of get well wishes to the students who are ill, is the job of this organization. We all must agree that they do this service very well. The main problem of the Sunshine Club is keeping the treasury full. This year it was accomplished by saving plus caps. The students of Lowell High help¬ ed by drinking gallons of Pepsis- Mrs. Hetherington is the sponsor of the club and has helped this organization live up to its name. - 61 - Terry Tuttle, Vice-President Jerry Boyd, President Myma Loy, Secretary-Treasurer Diane Miller, Corresponding Secretary Zkespians Larry Cheek, Scribe Chris Van Nada, Treasurer Mary Ann Titei, President Bill Carlson, Vice-President Gail Fox, Secretary The Dlays and the shows nut on by the students of Lowell High require a lot of time and work. The oarticipants are rewarded for all the energy they use ud in nut¬ ting on these productions though. Membership in Troupe 1691 of the National Thespian Societv is just one reward, the knowledge of suc¬ ceeding is another. Under the able direction of Mr. Martin, the Thesoians have had a very successful year. Their main project was the Thespian Talent Show, The contest Droved to a worthwhile venture and it was enjoyed bv all who attended. . 62 - Cri-M Preston Beeler, Vice President Joan Crisan, Secretary Dennis Keithley, Treasurer Drummond Black, President An organization in Lowell High, which very few students know about is the Tri-M, or the Modem Music Masters, This organi¬ zation is made up of Junior and Seniors in band or choir who have a B or better aver¬ age in music and a C or better in other subiects. The Tri-M is under the direction of Mr. Minix and Mr, Frederick, Although the club is not a very active one, it is important to its members. The main purpose of the Tri-M is to instill in its members the spirit of good music. ii=. - 63 - Cowellian EDITOR. ASSISTANT EDITOR.. ACTIVITIES. FACULTY. ART-SPECIAL EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHY-SPORTS STUDENTS. FACULY ADVISOR.... •MIDGE HERBST STEVE ROY PAT SCHMELTER RUTH KRETZ RUTH GOLLINGS STEVE WILSON SANDI LUKKEN ROBERT A. MILLER Are they really working? One would think that with such a noble project underfoot that the Lowellian staff might be a group of serious minded people solely bent on fleecing the student body of a few nickels. But this is not the case. Actually Lowellian staffers live and breathe like you and usually have less than two heads. Often nobody in the devil ' s den seems to know what they ' re doing, but the staff always manages to bluff or blunder its way through the darkness to completion. Overseeing this confusion and adding greatly to the chaos are the seven senior editors. There are seven because they can cause more confusion than a lesser number. At first glance they resemble any normal high school student: except their vocabulary is limited. Asked any question they answer no! They do have many helpful ideas how the alleged year¬ book should be produced, but no two ever have the same idea and refuse to admit that anyone else ' s has any merit. Having seven senior editors makes it possible to change plans and policies often. This keeps Mr. Miller in the dark as to what is to be done, hew, when, and where. As anyone can see, the Lowellian staff is a hard-working devoted group. Whenever their ideas do concur, the re¬ sulting plans are worthwhile (worth what we haven ' t determined). But there ' s this to say—they may make mistakes, but the resulting All-American yearbook is to their credit. - 64 - Midge and Steve are shown here dis¬ cussing a proposed layout. I wonder who will win? Ruth Kretz, Steve Wilson, and Ruth Gollings are working on their various sections of the book a full time job for all. Sports The desire to develope our bodies as well as our minds is displayed by the hard work Lowell Hi i students put into sports activities. Among the sports offered here at Lowell are football, cross country, basketball, wrest¬ ling, track, golf, and baseball. Though our Devils haven ' t always made the headlines, they have always had the courage, spirit, and backing to try. Of course, these things could not be done by the student body or the team with¬ out our well-qualified coaches. football Front: B.Haberzetle, M.Moody, P.Purkey, R.Dawson, S.Wilson, T.Beckman, A,Wilson, B.Griesmer, T.Tuttle; Second: D.Black, J.Rosenthal, P.Russell, D.Herbst, J.Fiene, P.Bruckman, D.Brown, J.Gidlev, D.Childress, S.Patchin; Third: R.Clark, B,Foster, J.Langen, R.Pace, J.Prew, J.Austin,V.Cornell, C.Laumeyer, B,Rouse; Fourth: J,Wil¬ son, D,Harrison, T.Felder, D.Woodke, R.Covert, J,Peterson, N.Stuopy, This year there was a popular song called Big Girls Don ' t Cry . Maybe that ' s so, but there sure were a lot of tears shed in the locker room after our games. Our record of only two wins and nine defeats doesn ' t look very impressive. If you saw the games, however, you know that everyone of them, except Dyer, was a hard-fought contest from start to finish with no one being sure who would win until the final whistle. We lost five games by six ooints or less and two more by just two touchdowns. The last game of the season was a real thriller against Portage who ended up as Calu¬ met Conference Champions. Lowell dominated the play in the first three quarters. We held onto the lead all game long despite having a touchdown called back for clipping on the opening kick-off. But in the fourth quarter, our completely exhausted team gave up the lead with only two minutes left to play. After the game, many fans, including those from Portage came out of the stands to congratulate the Red Devils on a great game. I think Coach Molchan summed up our season very well when he said, I am verv proud of the football team this year. Although we had a losing season, the team never let down or quit trying. They were always trying to win the ball game. I hope that this attitude will prevail with next year ' s team. The team thought just as much of Coach Molchan. To illustrate this I ' m going to tell you something that very few people knew. A few weeks after the end of the season all of the seniors on the ball club gathered at Tom Beckman ' s home and from there proceeded to the home of Coach Molchan. There they presented him with a trophy with the inscription, To the greatest coach a team could have. - 68 - Coach Rose wraps Beckman ' s wrist as Molchan gives a few last words of encouragement be¬ fore game time. Most people watch only the backfield. Few notice the rugged line play which is the backbone of the team. - 69 - TOM BECKMAN CHUCK ITIRKEY A pair of Edison tacklers bring down Russell in our Honecoming game.

Almost every game found our small gym filled to capacity. The sign on the gym wall reads Lcwell Always Fights and it isn ' t up their to just cover up the cracks in the plaster.

In the last few years our wrestlers record have far out shined those of the other sports. This year was no exception. Our boys brought home the Calumet Conference trophy and were able to place second in the wrestling sectionals. The sectionals, however, proved to be the biggest heart break of the season. All the fans and wrestlers went hone believing they had tied Valparaiso for first place. There was a big. victory parade that night and all the wrestling fans went to bed happy. It wasn ' t until Sunday morning when they read the papers that they found out that a mistake had been made and they had lost. Despite this disappointment our wrestlers had a fine season. Coach Todd de¬ serves a great deal of praise for the fine job he has done. Wrestling is certain to gain in popularity and support here at Lcwell. The four boys who placed first in the conference meet strike a proud pose for our cameraman. - 79 - Mitch is in trouble, but not for long. He ' ll work his way out and end up on top (we hope). Chuck McMillen, Paul Russell, and Mitch Zakula placed second, and Mike Cunningham won ' third in the Calumet Conference Wrestling meet. Believe it or not there is a reason for this horseplay. It helps to loosen uo our wrestlers and thus prevents pulled muscles and tom ligaments. Besides its fun! Wrestling, although it is becoming more and more popular, does not draw big crowds. The results of this are quite evident by this picture which shews our boys, who have just finished wrestling, rolling up their own mat. Even Coach Todd is not exempt from this duty. - 80 - These four boys, along with Mickey Grant, are the oride of Lowell ' s matmen. Mickey won a first in the conference. Bob Griesirer was one of our co¬ captains this year. He won first in the conference and first in the sectionals. Bob is a fine wrestler and the team will miss him next year. Tom Beckman, in the center Dicture, appears to be taking the bull by the horns. Tom had a very impressive record this year. He was never beaten in season play. He was first in the sectionals and second in the regionals. Tom also served as a co¬ captain. Dan Herbst would probably make a good pretzel maker, if the way he tied up this Hammond Tech man is any indication of his abilities. Danny took a first in the con¬ ference and first in the sectionals. Chuck Me Millen looks like a billy goat as he comes head to head with his op- oonent. Chuck finished second in the con¬ ference, losing by a referee ' s decision. He did better in the sectionals, however, and came home with a first. Paul is ready to pet a take down on his opponent and thus score. Coach Todd tries des¬ perately to persuade Danny that he looks just fine, but Danny refuses to wres¬ tle until he has taken that last glance in the mirror, Mr. Herbst stands by helD- lessly as Dannv adjusts his glass eye. The managers are the unseen force behind any of our athletic teams. The work is important and their hours are lcng. Here you see the handsome faces of part of the staff of managers. Larry Thwing, Dick Fish, Jerry Boyd, Tom Pan¬ acini, Allen Dockweiler, and Don McMahcn. In case you can ' t tell from the picture, Dan is our heavyweight wrestler. Zrack Third Row: G. Boston, M.

These serious minded lads are Den McMahon, Danny Harrison, Jerry Boyd, Larry Thwing, and Dick Fish, Cross Country Cross country racing is pro¬ bably the oldest sport in the world.

The Sophomores were busy shewing off class sweaters, ordering rings, and showing everyone they had made a place for themselves. Juniors looked forward to their Dlav and prom. Each year their desires were different but they all had the ultimate goal to succeed and to advance to the next class. Three more years of homework, games, and fun-and our class of 66 will grad¬ uate. The excitement and anticipation of their first year of high school runs high as they blindly go from class to class. This is their year to pick class sweaters and get acquainted with other classmates. We welcome you.

We ' ll always remember the hilarious plays presented this year at Lowell High, Who could ever forget the spirit and enthusiasm desplayed at Homecoming? We desired fun and we found it in our many special events. Homecoming Homecoming this year consisted of a snake dance, a peD rally, of course the game, and the crowning of Margie Rutkcwske and Bob Griesmer. The pep rally provided the enthusiasm, the snake dance furnished the fun, the crowning gave susDense and class spirit, and the game presented the excitement for our Homecoming. Homecoming is truly a magic moment in the school life of the students. 114 «tf? i The Queen and Mr. Touchdown. Candidates for Homecoming Queen and Mr. Touchdown were B.Criesmer, M.Rutkowske, Seniors ; D.Childress, J.Meyer, Juniors; J.VanDeurson, J.Langen, Sonhomores; G.Stack, T.McGinley, Freshmen. - lift- Court JANE MEYER Junior JAMIE VAN DEURSON Sophomore GWEN STACK Freshman Grandpa and Tanmv arrive for the first semester of the school term. P l a y Mrs. Call comes to live with Tanmy and her Grandfather, Miss Jenks certainly disannroves of Tammy as a student at the collepe. - 118 - lor Mrs. Call ' s problems seemed to bore Miss Bromley, November 9 was the senior ' s presentation of Tammy Tell Me True, Tammy was a poor riverboat girl who entered the University of Mississippi to get some leamin ' , She encountered difficulties with a fuddy old woman, snobby students, and her untrue boy friend. But her sweetness and kindness eventually captured the heart of the young professor, Tom Freeman. Sandy Brooks brings Tammv to court where Mr, Welling is called on to defend her innocence.

The new feature of this show was the awarding of cash prizes to the best act in the music, dramatic, and novelty divisions. Although everyone was not able to win an award, they did gain a lot of fun, exoerience, and a feeling of accomolishment. a l e H t Paulette Thatcher wins first nlace in the novelty division by her acrobatic skill.

Miss Pinkerton seems very well pleased with the new Mr. McDuff, Our A Cappella Choir put on its first musical at Lowell High, A delightful story about the agony suffered by Cooper High ' s student body when they get a new and very harsh principal, Mr. McDuff, Deprived of all fun and activities the students must resort to their ingenuity to change their miserable situation of mere studying. After little success, a simple chemistry explosion solves the problem by making Mr, McDuff lose his memory. Naturally all turns out well in the end. everyone including Senator Whiffwaff seems to be stricken with the new fad the twist. 124 - Cooper High ' s pom pom girls per¬ form for the stu¬ dents SWINGING HIGH Mr. Carlyle......

Terminating an exciting season ' s fun, the senior boys and girls took the championship titles. Kneeling: L.Erb, L.Sullivan, A.Thiel, R.Gollings; Standing: D.Reusze, M.Titei, R.Kretz, L.Little, J.Sabemiak, Captain (absent M.Herz) - 126 - I bet Ronnie was at his best behavior at the FFA banquet. Kenny, how ' s the food? Local farm girls make good. The annual F.F.A. event was a huge success again this year. Mr. Howard Addison was the guest speaker. Later in the evening, Bill Bush and Bill Carlson entertained everyone with their unusual skit. - 127 - Mothers ’ Mothers ' Tea Queen and Court: Linda Little, Midge Herbst, Sandi Zander, KAREN USHER, Sally Black, Mary Ann Bush, Linda Cavinder, Sharon Jurs. Linda Swett is a fine example of the sewing skills of our heme ec. classes who annually model their finished products at the Mothers ' Tea, Lvery year there ' s the problem of getting the gym decorated in time. The girls of Lcwell High honor their mothers every year at the Mothers ' Tea. The G.A.A. and Home Ec Club sponsor the occasion consisting of a style shew, special entertainment by our students, and the crowning of the May Queen, This year, as in the past, the decorations and queen, Karen Usher, were lovely. It is a rare occasion when a boy is even at the Mothers ' Tea let alcne be a part of the program, but this year Larry Cheek did a vocal selection. - 129 - Karen Usher-May Queen - 130 - SHARON JURS - 131 - The Junior Senior Prcm is a spectacular occasion and one which the upper classmen look forward to in keen anticipation. It is an evening filled with the excitement of lovely, sweet-scented girls, dressed in gorgeous gcwns, lovingly adorned by pretty corsages put their by their gallant escorts who look so very handsome in their trim fitting tuxedoes. The adoring glances and exchanges of compliments which the young people receive fran their relatives, friends, and each other add just the right note and as they drive away in their newly washed and shined cars, the air is filled with fun and expectation. At the dance everyone is an their best behavior, but it isn ' t long before the comradeship and conversation get back to normal and everyone relaxes and enjoys the evening ' s fun of dancing, the Grand March, the delicious refreshments, and of just being together in good fellowship. The dance ends too soon, but the fun continues for early the next day every¬ one goes on a fun-packed picnic outing at a beach or Dark. Tine out for refreshments. Stepping out smartly two by two. - 134 - Of course, there was dancing at the prcm. Jerry Boyd, alternate; Jim Rosenthal, delegate; Mike Grant, alternate; Howard Nutt, delegate to Boys ' State. In the later part of May special awards are given to some of the most deserving students at Lowell High. The honors include athletics, dramatics, English, agricultural, and musical recognition. Musical numbers by the band and the senior farewell speech concludes the event. Monor Outstanding Thespians this year were Mary Ann Titei and Mike Moody. Margie Rutkowske was presented with the Homemaker of the Year a- ward. Midge Herbst was the recipient of the Marylee Quivey Nursing Scholarship. Here she is being presented with the scholarship by our principal Mr. Dick. - 136 - Betty Gray and Betty Talley are delegates and Kathy Bartz and Chris Van Nada are alternates to Girls ' State. The Lillian Brcwnell English Award was presented to three seniors for their improvement and develop¬ ment of English skills. The three were Dawn Reusze, first place; Bob Livengood, second place; and Linda Sullivan third place. Judy Sabemiak was honored with tne D.A.R. award annually given by the Daugh¬ ters of the American Revolution, Judy was chosen for her outstanding citizen¬ ship throughout four years of high school. All Sports Award was given to Bob Griesmer for his excellent sports ability. - 137 - Seniors The fitting culmination of four years of hard and intensified study is, of course, graduation. As graduation nears, each and every senior looks back to the good and bad times he has had. Who could ever forget those long and tedious, yet enjoyable hours of deliberation in one of the houses in government class. The senior banquet brings fond memory as does the senior clay. Also as graduation day draws nearer one can easily see that the seniors are happy and proud to be leaving the staunch discipline that accompanies education. Not so easily seen, however, is the reluctance that each senior feels toward leaving many of his old friends to attempt to make his mark in the complex world of today.
