Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1966 volume:

j jJate,jsfcs� wi£iS iii8fe Lowellian presents Lowell High School Lowell, Indiana Sponsor: Mr. Shrader Editor: Cynthia Ogle . . . the splendor of homecoming, the tears of a beautiful girl just crowned queen, the bubbling enthusiasm at a basket ball game, the tense moments before the curtain opens at a dramatic production, the thrill of the prom and the Mistle¬ toe Ball, and the proud parents and students on Honor Day. These are events which we, the students of Lowell High, will look back upon with the fondest of memories. The act¬ ivity section of the Lowellian has been created with the hope of capturing the unforgetable moments of these events. The Spirit of 66 will accompany us on our tour of the activities during the 1966 school year. Lowell High ' s mas¬ cot, the devil, will represent this spirit throughout the Lowellian. Rtowec04 u tcj QuGfttt J OtoJ NctSSdu 1966 The crowning of the queen was the high point of the Homecoming Night. At half-time, the fu¬ ture queen and her court entered the football field seated on a colorful float. When arriving before the Lowell bleachers, each girl was led to her respected place on the field. The sus¬ pense was finally over when Jack Keithley crowned lovely Jan Nassau as the 196b Home¬ coming Queen. A dance held in the Queen ' s honor followed the football game. Students gazed spellbound, as Jan danced in the spotlight with her escort, Larry McMillan. We hope that Jan will always remember this one splendored evening.

Above, Jean- enne Dokulil, Donna Bixenman, LanaTadlock Anita Phares, Shirley Neal, and Carolyn Dok¬ ulil model just a few of the unique outfits creat¬ ed for this special day. Preparing for Homecom¬ ing Night requires a tre¬ mendous amount of work.

ATTENTION ALL LURKING PANTHERS: IT ' S HOMECOMING WEEK AND THE DEVILS ARE ON THE LOOSE! Truer words couldn ' t have been spoken by Wes Hildebrandt, president of the Student Coun¬ cil. The Student Council organized the special week preceding Homecoming Day. Monday, Sweatshirt Day, was followed by Clash Day, Class Sweater Day, Dress Up Day, and Color Day. On Friday afternoon a pep session was conducted on the football field. — leaders direct the student body in their final attempt to pep up our football team and to pep up each individual attending Lowell High before Homecoming Night. During the pep session, George Herbst and Marcia Wilson watch in despair as Dr. Kirby (Dave Sirois) examines the Lowell Red Devil ( Pat Markel) with the hope of finding a cure for the virus which paralyzes its victim. It took Linda Klein and George Miller four hours to gather enough wood for the traditional Homecoming bon¬ fire. On the left, students dance around the friendly flames on a crisp, October evening. The moment of glory arrives as Jack Keithley crowns Miss Jan Nassau 1966 Homecoming Queen. Escort, Larry Me Mil- len proudly stands by while the coronation takes place. € fiJlcjld ' On Friday night, the school spirit took a gigantic leap. There was a pre-game snake dance and a parade through downtown Lowell. The parade ended around a bonfire near the football field. The enthusiasm reach¬ ed a high point as our boys scored two touchdowns. Although we lost by one point to the Griffith Panthers, our boys never looked better. No one will forget how Jan cried at her coronation, and the entire, impres¬ sive half-time ceremony. The post-game dance brought an end to a most memorial homecoming. Larry McMillen es¬ corts the 1966 Home¬ coming Queen to her majesty ' s throne at the post-game dance. Slightly soiled and definitely damp quarterback, Wes Hildebrandt, eyes the pigskin as the referee signals a first down. F aik t Btick Wrapped up with thoughts of the wedding, Mr. Banks (George Herbst) is being scolded by Mrs. Banks (Gloria Pace) for being unreasonable. 12 Father of the Bride was the first dramatic pro¬ duction under the direction of the newly organized Star and Hammer. The play dealt with the problems involved when Kay Banks proudly announced her plans for marriage to Buckley Dunstom. Being extremely interested in his daughter ' s welfare. Mr. Banks man¬ aged to act in a manner which would discourage any young couple. Father of the Bride proved to be a delightful comedy. At the November 12, evening performance, a plat¬ form supporting Dennis Smith and Pete Beckmann collapsed. Dennis suffered sprains and bruises while Pete was uninjured. The dedication of each actor, the guidance of student directors Margie Schultz and Kathy Yurgilas, and the professional aid of Mr. Martin, worked together to make this dramatic production a success.

With these re¬ quirements in mind, on November 30, the judges chose Linda Klein to reign as the 1966 Junior Miss. The annual Junior Miss Pageant was sponsored by the Lowell Junior Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the pag¬ eant was to select the ideal senior girl from the Lowell area. Working together, the girls made pre¬ parations for this important event. Be¬ fore the final public section of the pag¬ eant, the participants attended a luncheon and each were interviewed for five min¬ utes by the judges. The girls were presented with a Junior Miss charm bracelet, and Miss Linda Klein received the honor of participating in the State Junior Miss Pageant. As an act of appreciation and friendship, Mr. Klein proudly snips off a rose for each Junior Miss participant. Awaiting the judges ' final decision are (left to right) Bobetta Williams, Louise Sturm, Gloria Pace, Linda Klein, and Linda Holloway.

Christmas Wonderland was the theme for this year ' s Student Coun¬ cil semi-formal which was attended by approximately 50 couples. The annual dance, which was renamed the Mistletoe Ball, added extra sparkle and holiday excitement to Christmas vacation. Those who attended enjoyed a memorable evening of fun and danced to the music of the Johnny Baker Combo. The Student Council decorations, including the elves, mistletoe, and the well-dressed couples, added to the mounting holiday spirit. The dance was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Roberts, and Student Council advisor Mr. Gerald Barun. Time out for refreshments.

Lowell ' s stage door opened once again to another all-school-show presentation. The Red Devil Revue. Actors and actresses performed before parents, fellow students, and faculty. Cast members included talented students and teachers. The Red Devil Revue was centered around a teenage night club being secretly scouted by the one and onlyT.B. Surprisingly enough, word slipped out and performers hastily prepared for the big opening night. ODening night disDlaved a varietv of humorous and serious acts. The entire cast, the fabulous mystery band, the hardworking directors (Cynthia Ogle and Carol Schultz), and the sponsor (Mr.Martin), helped to make the first Red Devil Revue a success. Awaiting the opening night of the Red Devil Review are cast members! (left to right) Pete Beckmann, Andy Amey, Jeralyn Smith, and Bob Hatch.

Andy Amey: Stage Manager Otw Tftwtt ’ Our Town was written by Thorton Wilder and is a dual surprise to all students and parents. It shows realism (every day life) without the use of any scenery. The setting of the story is a small town, Grovers Corners, New Hampshire. The time is the early 1900 ' s. The main character is the stage manager. He is a person who can easily move into the past, present, or future with just a tip of his hat or a puff of his pipe. The first act carries the viewer into the Gibb and Webb households. The audience is taken through an entire day in the life of these simple people. This act is entitled ’’Daily Life. ” The second act is ’’Love and Marriage.” This concerns itself with the love affair of George and Emily. The act ends with a beautiful wedding scene. The bride and groom each show anx¬ iety before the wedding, but abundant happiness follows. The final act leads the audience to a cemetery on the hill overlooking Grovers Corners. Em¬ ily enters and takes her place in the cemetery after her death at the age of twenty. The urge comes on and Emily goes once again into living. The situation was remorseful. Live people didn ' t really enjoy life while they lived it. With tears in her eyes, she returns to her grave and says her last words, Live people don’t understand, do they? Cynthia Ogle (Emily) hangs her head in shame after telling John Nichols (George) that he’s conceited. CAST Stage Manager . . . Emily Webb ..... George Gibbs. . . . Dr. Gibbs. Mrs. Gibbs ....

' ' Couik Pcucijjbc; • The Lowell High choir presented the Roger and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific, on April 29 and 30. South Pacific proved to be an over¬ whelming success. It was received by record-breaking crowds on both nights. The production was based upon the romance between Ensign Nellie For- bush and plantation owner, Emile De Becque. The action of the play oc¬ curs on two South Pacific islands during World War H. The charming, comical Nellie, played by Linda Slankard, danced and sang her way into the hearts of each member of the audience. Linda ex¬ erted an ease on stage which gave her professional appeal. Dennis Smith, portraying the handsome Emile, actually thrilled his lis¬ teners with his interpretation of Some Enchanted Evening. His children, Ngana and Jerome, were cute as could be when singing the trite French melody, Dites-Moi. Lt. Cable ' s appearance on the island added a counter plot to the story. Almost as if struck by a star, he fell in love with a charming native girl, Liat. Her mother, Bloody Mary, gave the musical an extra touch of hu¬ mor and beauty, with her lovely songs, Bali Hi and Happy Talk. Love won in the South Pacific. As the curtain closed, Emile returned from a dangerous mission to find Nellie longingly awaiting him. Mr. Frederick and student directors, Jan Roberts and Cynthia Bruck- man, helped to make these two nights enchanted evenings. Beauty and tenderness are captured in this scene as Emile (Dennis Smith) directs Ngana (Gaye Olsen) and Jerome (Glenn Olsen) in singing. Bright-eyed Nellie (Linda Slankard) wat¬ ches.

May 4, 1966 brought Lowell High School mothers and daughters together for the annual Mothers ' Tea. This yearly event, sponsored by the Girls ' Athletic Association and the Home Economics Club, presented an oppor¬ tunity for the girls to demonstrate some of the feminine skills they learned during the year. The program this year was most enjoyable and entertaining. Various skits were pre¬ sented, as well as tumbling and trampoline exhibitions. Besides pantomimes and singing performances, a style show was presented by girls in the Home Economics classes. The evening was highlighted by the crowning of the beautiful May Queen who reigned with her court in a lovely Lollipops and Roses atmosphere. Refreshments of palate-pleasing cookies, punch and coffee were prepared by various members of the Home Economics classes. Sponsors of the event were Mrs. Vander- mark, Miss Kerr, Miss Stucker, and Mrs. Shipley. Paulette Thatcher enjoys being a girl. These girls are well aware that it takes two or three days to decorate the gym. The trouble is, it takes two or three hours to tear the dec¬ orations down. Linda Ebert (right) and Mrs. Peters get set for the rush. The home economic classes baked 150 dozen cookies for re¬ freshments. PtfMw fCi tcj om j 0 uee« AvtK HUiclKd.« For the first time in many years, the Jun¬ ior-Senior Prom was held in Lowell. The VFW Hall was the scene of this gala event. The juniors decorated the hall to create the theme, In the Misty Moonlight. Approximately one hundred couples danced to the music of the Don Adam ' s Band. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Peggy Le e as Queen and Tom McGinley as King. It seemed as though the Prom had just start¬ ed when it was time to leave. The night wasn ' t over for the people who attended the Post- Prom Party at the After-Four Club. A te¬ enage group called Twill and the Coachmen provided s winging music until 3:00 a.m. A delicious chicken and roast beef dinner was served. This was the first year Lowell had ever pla¬ nned an after-Prom activity. The Prom and the Post-Prom Party were deemed a success. What ' s so hilarious about a jacket? This is the time allotted for general admiration. Couples dance in the Misty Moonlight Soft melodies provided by the Don Adam ' s Band. Attractive prom-goer3.

FACULTY FOCUS Good times and bad times are spent in the classroom every day of a school year. The person who is most responsible for these times is a teacher. A teacher is a person who tries to understand every¬ thing we do and why we do it. He tries to stimulate our minds so that we may want to learn. He is a per¬ son who dedicates much more t han the six classroom hours to us. Aside from correcting our papers and preparing lessons, he attends our basketball and foot¬ ball games, our plays, and our musical activities. He might also be taking a course at one of the extensions. It has been said that knowledge, with the personal touch, stimulates and develops the minds of those who care enough to try. (Lowellian, ' 60). Our teachers try to add this personal touch. We as students, must complete the cycle. One of the great¬ est and most appreciative awards a teacher can receive is a student who cares enough to try. 35 A newly appointed school board found its place at Lowell for the 1965-66 school year. The governing body consists of (left to right) Mr. Richard Little, secretary; Mr. Vernon Child¬ ress, treasurer; Dr. Robert Smith, president; Mr. Harold Snyder, vice-president; and Mr. John Gray, member. Heading the board as Lowell ' s first superintendent of schools is Mr. Ro¬ ger W. Sturm . MR. DON GUILFORD The End of another school year . . . The availability of this history (in part) of youth in action at Lowell High School means that another school year has passed. What has this year meant to you? It is safe to say that many of you readers will look back with pleasure at many of the events and happenings in which you participated. Others will breathe a sigh of relief that a year is over and those projects and assignments are completed, checked, graded, and recorded, and for you no worries—at least not now. High school days can be such happy days, and are for most LHS students. For some individual students and athletes, this past year may have been the best year yet. Let ' s reminisce a little . . . Our football team didn’t win any games but our boys played fine crowd-pleasing football; we had a lot of fun preparing for and taking part in Homecoming Week festivities. The cross country team did themselves proud as did the basketball team. And who will forget soon the 1965-66 wrestling team and our state wrestling champion, Larry McMillen? At this writing our golf, baseball, and track teams haven ' t had much weather luck, but they too, give us much to be happy about. What fine en¬ tertainment too, our Star and Hammer actors and the Lowell High choir gave in their fine dramatic and musical productions! The scholarly side of school was well represented by our boys and girls who did so well in the National Merit Scholarship testing; faculty members won scholarships, too! Yes, the end of another school year means much to so many in so many different ways. Remem¬ ber though, that the end of one year and its activities and events often is the signal to begin a new and perhaps a better year. Sincerest best wishes to all of you. Don Guilford, Principal Mrs. Doris Smith (left) and Mrs. Grace Wool- ridge pause a moment to smile at the birdie. Our efficient office staff, Mrs. Grace Woolridge , Mrs. Doris Smith, and Mrs. Madeline Tully (not pictured), do ev¬ erything from keeping an accurate record of attendance to selling basketball tickets. Along with their eight student helpers , they prepare daily bulletins which do a marvelous job of keeping the Lowell High students well informed. If students ever have a problem and don ' t know where to go for help , a quick visit to these understanding women will illus¬ trate the all-around abilities of our office help. MR. HAROLD HUFF The guidance department administers group tests in the fields of educational ability and achievement, as well as vocational aptitude and interest. They provide an opportunity for students to discuss their problems and interests with an adult. They also provide much information relative to job opportunities and post-high school education opportunities. B.A. and M.A., Indiana State University. Works as a guidance counselor. MRS.

This song title sums up the year ' s activities and accomplishments in the field of Eng¬ lish at Lowell High. The English langu¬ age, our basis of expression and com¬ munication, is studied in many forms. English literature, Shakespearean plays, and various forms of poetry and prose constitute much of this study. In connection with Shakespearean lit¬ erature, a portion of the senior English composition classes took a field trip to Gary to see the presentation of Othel¬ lo. English composition and other creative writing fields flourished in the past year. Five LoweU High students were honored for their writing accomplishments. Their essays appeared in The Voice of Youth section of the Chicago Tribune . These students were: Mary Fitzgerald, Cynthia Ogle, Vivian Hale, Andy Amey and Jill Ruge. A high degree of excel¬ lence was necessary for this literary ac¬ complishment . MRS. VTVIAN HILE B.A., Goshen College; graduate work, Purdue University. Teaches Literature I and Grammar I.

Among these was the creation of Star and Hammer, a new play-producing organization. Displaying their talents before the stu¬ dent body, the speech classes presented Disc-A-Go-Go, featuring many hilarious record pantomimes. These pantomimes , along with other skills and acting techniques , were improved in class. In addition to record pantomimes and skits, the difficult art of public speaking was practiced. All speech classes participated in debates and the V. F. W. Script Writing Contest. B. S. and M. S. , Indiana State University; graduate work, University of Illi¬ nois.

This year, the girls visited neighborhood grocery stores. In Home Economics 11 the girls studied child care and home nursing. These stu¬ dents were visited by a very special guest, a baby. They practiced dressing , bathing, and changing this bundle of joy . The first semester of Home Economics 111 dealt with sewing. The second sem¬ ester, the girls took a course in housing. In this course, a visit was made to local homes which were for sale, and a refin¬ ishing plant. The fourth year of Home Economics was spent in learning about tayloring and family relationships. In the family re¬ lationship course, the girls studied dat¬ ing, engagements, and marriage. On March 30, 1966 the girls of the third and fourth year classes attended the American Institute of Laundering at Jol¬ iet, Illinois. These girls are prac¬ ticing so they may some day make use of this old proverb: The way to a man ' s heart, is through his stomach. MISS CAROLE E STUCKER B.S., Iowa State University.

Shorthand I and II, Bookkeeping I and II, typing, and office practice made up the bulk of Lowell ' s business department for the ' 65- ' 66 school year. In office practice senior girls were able to develop and practice their skills by typing and running off material for teachers. They learned by experience and guidance, how to become tomorrows ' secretaries. In Shorthand I and II students learned short¬ hand outlines, how to spell, and how to trans¬ cribe efficiently. With a good knowledge of all phases of shorthand, high school girls were on the way to becoming career women. Many girls thought they found a safer and faster way to write notes by using shorthand, until they found out that many teachers knew how to read their notes!

From here he may take wood shop, metal shop, electricity (new this year), or welding. The drawing courses are another vital part of the Industrial Arts Department. Lo¬ well offers three drawing courses , beginning drawing , architectural drawing , and ad¬ vanced drawing. Through these Industrial Arts courses , a boy develops good work habits, becomes familiar with some of the tools used in various industries, and becomes safety-con¬ scious .

The four years of art offered a great variety of activities. These involved printing, and a little history of art. Art students decorated bulletin boards in the library and painted scenery for dramatic productions. Teresa Nichols won first place for her, Freedom of Thought, in an art contest sponsored by the Lowell Junior Women ' s Club. Dennis Smith and Lloyd Hammersley won second and third place respectively.

The boys participated in a number of different judging contests, including dis¬ trict and state competition. The class rented and maintained a soy¬ bean field as a money making project. The money was used in taking trips and sending boys to meetings and the state convention. On Friday, April 22, twenty-nine boys from the junior and senior classes jour¬ neyed to Purdue for the annual Indiana Cattle Feeders ' Day. This year provided an excellent op¬ portunity for boys to acquaint themselves with farming techniques. Summer agriculture camp provides knowledge and en¬ joyment for these boys and Mr. Little.

A general education is not complete without an education of the arts, including music. The Lowell High Music Department is striving to fulfill the musical needs of its students, whether it be music for enjoyment only, or more technical training required for the college-bound stu¬ dent. Excellence of performance is always the goal. Acquiring this excellence is most time-con¬ suming, but a willingness to sacrifice on the part of both the student and the teacher has en¬ abled this goal to be achieved by many groups and individuals. Concerts, contest results, and other musical productions bear this out. The only wish of the Music Department is that there might be more facilities and time, in order to provide more students with a valuable music education. . . . the band plays on.

This was a tremendous job for three cooks. The cooks did an excellent job of fixing government food to taste as good as home cook¬ ing . The meals were always nourishing and thrifty. Custodians Our three men janitors and one girls ' ma¬ tron did a fine job of cleaning our school so that it looked as good as could be expected. Their job was never done. No matter how spic and span they left the school one night, by the next afternoon there was always clean¬ ing to be done.

ORGANIZATIONS Tick-tock, tick-tock, the anxious minutes wore on until b-r-r-i-n-g, activity period finally started. Activity period was set aside for the purpose o f allowing various Lowell High School organizations a convenient time to meet. Dur¬ ing this allotted time, many problems were solved, and many ideas turned into realities. This year, three new clubs were added to the list. They were Latin Club, French Club, and Chess Club. Through these clubs, and others, a student was able to broaden his interests. Clubs he¬ lped the student to become friendly and versatile. By participation in club activities a student found a diversion from studies, giving him a brighter outlook on sc hood life. Clubs also proved to be of great help to the future leader. Leadership, friendship and compatibility were by-products of A- period. 52 Row 1: (left to right) Linda Ruley, secretary; Wes Hildebrandt, president; Mr. Braun, sponsor; Peggy Govert, vice-president; Jan Nassau, treasurer.

The aims of the society are to (1) establish and advance excellence in the field of drama, and (2) to create an active and intelligent interest in this art among high school boys and girls. This Dramatics Organization acts as an honor or recognition group. Students are gran¬ ted membership for meritorious work in dramatic arts, and earning a total of 10 Thespian points. Points are acquired through participation in dramatic experiences throughout the community. Each Thespian receives a DRAMATICS magazine monthly. This is an educational product¬ ion for directors, teachers, and students of dramatic arts. 58 The Thespian of¬ ficers ham it up.

The Star and Hammer , a newly formed dra¬ matics organization sponsored by Mr. William Martin, presented three shows this year; Fa¬ ther of the Bride, Red Devil Review, and Our Town. Any student who had an interest in dramatics was welcome to participate in this organization. The success of the shows was an effort of a group and not an individual class as in previous years. The many participants in the Star and Hammer worked diligently to make these shows a success. The participants had the opportunity to ex¬ press themselves by performing for the public. Much time and practice was donated by the stu¬ dents to make this organization a success.

Mrs. Shipley and Pres¬ ident Jan Nassau lead this organization in the attempt to boost school spirit. Homecoming and the basketball sectional meant much work for the Pep Club. During Homecoming Week, peppy members decorated the gym, created a float, and displayed posters throughout Lowell. The sectional brought with it many nights of practice with various flash card routines. After an expensive Homecoming, the Pep Club or¬ ganized projects to make money. Pencils inscribed with a football schedule , and Lowell buttons were sold to students. Each football and basketball game was a challenge to the Pep Club.

Helping this organization to achieve its worthwhile purpose was Sunshine sponsor, Mrs. Gladys Hetherington. Throughout the year the members aided in sending get well wishes to those who were ill, and remembering and extending sympathy in times of pain and sorrow. Sending gifts, cards, and flowers were only a small portion of this club ' s activities. The thoughtful and timely consideration was appreciated by the stu¬ dents and faculty of Lowell. Another cheerful activity of the Sunshine Club involved the supporting of Richard Lopez, an Indian boy. Twelve-year-old Richard, of the Papago Indian tribe, was adopted through the Save the Children Federation. Club members delighted in sending Rich clothing and toys during the Christmas season. Service seemed to be abundant in this organization. The popcorn, enjoyed and consumed by hungry sports spectators, was also a product of the hard working members. Money rais¬ ing projects during the year consisted of collecting Betty Crocker Coupons and sponsoring a chile supper. This year, the Latin Club was revived. The constitution was brought out and remolded to fit the new demands of this organization. The purpose of the Latin Club was to make students aware of the value of Roman culture and its influences upon us. During the regular meetings, held bi-weekly, various fields of culture were viewed—famous leaders, chariot races, achitecture, literature, art sculptor, and dress. Latin Club officers: (left to right) Geri Pancini, vice-president; Julie Lanoue, secretary; Allan Martin, president; Cynthia Hayden, treasurer. Afield trip to the Chicago Museum of Natural History, Adler Planetarium, and Shedd Aquar¬ ium was enjoyed by all. As a final topper for the year ' s activities, a Roman banquet was held. Dressed in tradition¬ al garb, Latin Club members were served by slaves, first year Latin students. The menu was typically Roman, being eggs to apples. An award was given for the most authentic costume. PtfiiicA Cj Cui) This year bid hello to the newly organized French Club. Bonjour. To be a member of this club, one had to have a sincere interest in the French language and culture. Being in French class was not mandatory, unless the member was an officer.

Dinero was made by conduct¬ ing a bake sale during the 1966 school year. Part of the funds were used to conduct the annual Christmas party. The highlight of the party, the pinata, was built by Carolyn Sabemiak and was broken by excited Mary Arendt. Candy was then strewn on the floor, while everyone made a wild dash to get his share of the goodies.

The first site visited was the Overmyer Farm at Wulcott and Francesville, Indiana. The group also viewed the Agar Meat Packing Company at Momence, Illinois. The final trip was to an Allis Chalmer Machine Company. L” %b The L” represents Lowell. In much the same way the Lettermen ' s Club denotes a high standard of citizenship and school morale.

This year the club has helped to promote the school spirit at man y of the athletic contests. In addition to their enthusiastic support the club has established a constitution.

The first event was the band|s annual performance at the Riverview Mardi gras. This was followed by the Indiana State Fair Marching Band Contest. When school started, the band marched for home football games, and participated in the NISBOVA Marching Contest at Fort Wayne, on October 2. In the spring the band traveled to Richmond, Indiana, and marched in the parade for the Lion ' s Club Convention. Ctiub Songs and ballads on various topics co¬ uld be heard this year, as one went me¬ andering down the halls during sixth-hour classes. From where were these songs coming? They were coming from the band and choir room where Mr. Wendd Frederick, choir director, was working with future choir members. He was pre¬ paring them for the job of singing in the concert choir. A few students were chosen each con¬ cert to sing with the concert choir, and a few were fortunate enough to be chosen for parts in South Pacific. Some were taken out to assist in concert singing for Baccalaureate and Commencement exer¬ cises. Sixth period choir provided enjoyment for students who liked to sing a song.

These were only a few of the many activities of this mus- cal organization. Under the direction of Mr. Wendell Frederick, tryouts were held this year for well-versed girls and boys who were interested in singing. Although the choir required much work and sac- rafice, members obtained much fun, and satisfac¬ tion from their participation.

After the pages are planned, pictures must be taken and copy must be written. The edi¬ tors of the Lowellette and Lowellian spend many hours after school cutting, arranging, correcting, editing and pasting. This work becomes worthwhile when the final finished publication is produced. The benefits and re¬ wards come not only in the satisfaction of seeing creative talents in print, but in learn¬ ing organization and cooperation. A cup of coffee always calms the nerves of sponsor, Mr. Shrader, after a busy day. What is Vivian Hale smiling a- bou t? The Sc r ib- blings ' ' justcame in .

A successful team can increase school spirit, boost school pride, and result in a feeling of unity throughout the student body. The letter F represents fall and football. This year ' s team suffered a losing season, but always gave one hundred per cent ef¬ fort. The cross-country team enjoyed its finest season in years, posting a 16-5 dual meet record, placing seventh in the conference, and finishing fifth in the regionals. Winter proved to be the most profitable season for LHS sports fans. The wrestling team was as outstanding as usual, placing se¬ cond in the conference, winning the sectional, placing fourth in the regional, and producing the 138-lb. State Champion, Larry Mc- Millen. The basketball team compiled a 10-12 record which in¬ cluded an outstanding victory over arch-rival, Crown Point, dur¬ ing the regular season. The Devils also reached the semi-finals of the sectional. The lack of experience impaired the golf and track teams. The track team was also hurt by a mid-season injury to co-captain, Joe Little. The baseball team joined the basketball and wrestling teams in defeating Crown Point, 4-0, on a masterful pitching per¬ formance by Bill Jurs. The 1966 team was the strongest in many years and was a formidable opponent in the conference race.

Vo tsifej Basketball The ' 65- ' 66 Red Devil cagers posted an overall 10-12 season which included a 71-63 victory over rival sectional champion. Crown Point. Lacking in size but over-abundant in team hustle, the Lowell squad strung together four impressive consecutive victories during mid-season. Stellar standouts on the scrappy squad were Dennis Shipley, Steve Beier, and Tom McGinley, named honorable mention on the All- Conference team. McGinley and Senior Jack Keithley were voted to the 1st and 2nd teams respectively of the Crown Point sectional All- Sectional team. Beier led the Devils in scoring with a blistering 14.5 point aver¬ age in 22 games while McGinley was close behind scoring 316 total points. Rounding out the starting five was Alan Frazier who showed ex¬ cellent form in tight games. Frazier gives reason to believe that next year LowelJ will again show strong improvements over past years. The strong sixth man on our team, Glenn Llewellyn, back¬ ed up the first string displaying outstanding skill and poise at the guard position. A look to the future shows six returning varsity players from this year ' s team, Dennis Shipley, Alan Frazier, Glenn Llewellyn, Don Van Deursen, Cliff Hooley, and Steve Bartz. These cagers com¬ bined for a total of 549 points this past season. With these statis¬ tics for evidence, our Red Devils will be a team to be reckoned with next year.

Our overall team effort resulted in a season record of 12-2, which was good enough to capture second in the regional, and tenth in the state meet. Strong individual records were attained by Larry McMillen, Rick Watson, and Marion Hoffman. Larry went all the way to the state meet and was a proud victor, competing in a tough class. Larry compiled a 24-1 record during his competition at Lowell. Rick had the best record for the season, posting a 13-0-1 record. Marion Hoffman was close behind with a 13-1-0 record.

Vtotstix j Yea team fight! This is the spirited cry of the Lowell cheerleaders. These girls work hard all year to support their teams, and to promote spirit and enthusiasm among the stu¬ dents of Lowell High. Their job does not stop here. Many hours are spent preparing rou¬ tines and skits for pep sessions, and making signs to bolster our teams to victory. The six varsity and four junior varsity cheerleaders were chosen by club officers, class sponsors, and coaches, under the supervision of the Pep Club. The varsity cheerleaders at¬ tended a summer camp which taught them new cheering techniques and gave them ideas for improving spirit and helping the re serve squads in the coming year. The four freshmen cheerleaders were chosen in the fall of 1965, by a class vote. Each cheerleader must show not only athletic ability, but also outstanding leadership quali¬ ties.

High school is more than English, algebra, and history. High school is the friendly nudge from the person in the next row when you doze off in study hall, and the frown which fades into a grin when you absently walk into a locker. Some of the most important lessons we have learned were not from books or lectures. During these four years we learned how wonderful friendship can be. We regret that our classmates, Gwen Stack, Jim Stuhlmacher, and Herb Emery will not graduate with us in 1966. We will always remember their warm friend¬ ship.

The Class of 1966 A level-headed group watches as Andy Amey makes his vale¬ dictory address. Proud mothers choked back tears, as the Class of 1966 graduated on May 29, 7:30 p.m., in the LHS gym. The seniors , wearing caps and gowns of red and black, marched in to the music of organ¬ ist Jerry Kaye. The invocation was delivered by Reverend J. Edward Boase. Jack Keithley served as Master of Ceremonies, as he introduced the Commencement Speakers: Vivian Hale (salutatorian), Linda Slankard, Cynthia Ogle, Felicia Pasiemiak, Lynn Cox, WesHildebrandt, and Andy Amey (valedictorian). The grand finale of the evening was the distribution of diplo¬ mas. This was the proud Class of 1966. Jack Keithley welcomes the public. They ' re leaving the gym for the final time. Betty Cunningham re¬ ceives her diploma from Mr. Sturm. Compliments Robert L.
