Student participation was present throughout the week before the game, as well as that night when the Lowell Fignting Red Devils met the Lake Central Indians. Startin g off the traditional Homecoming Week with a bang was clash day. Everyone clashed. The greens clashed with the purples, prints with plaids, and every color imag¬ inable was seen parading the halls. Solid color day was next on the agenda of the week’s activities. It was quite a change to see solids instead of. wild stripes and gave the student body a prim and proper look. Following solid color day was class sweater day in which the frosh, who hadn’t purchased the sweaters yet, wore green. Dress-up day came to L.H.S. on Thursday. Everyone was not only in their best, but were on their best behavior. The boys sported jackets and ties and the girls extra special smiles. On Fri¬ day, school color day, school spirit was really at a peak. The night before, students had witnessed a parade with the “spirit” theme and the burning of a Dyer “Injun” in effigy. Emotions were high at the pep session Friday after¬ noon when the entire student body justled to the football field to let the team know they were backing them all the way. Speakers at the pep session were Miss Nordholm, Coach Klein, Dan Duncan, Tom Pressley, and Assistant Coach Siatta. G.A.A. girls then made an effort to show the boys how in a powder puff football game against the so-called “Injuns”. By the time the pep session and week’s activities came to an end, the student body was ready and willing for the game to begin. At the halftime the Indians were leading but it didn’t spoil the momentuous moment when Marion Hoffman, senior class president, crowned Miss Dawn Keithley, Lowell High Homecoming Queen ’66. The candidates and Queen Dawn circled the field and then were saluted by the Lowell High School band in song. Unfortunately Lowell lost their Homecoming gam e 27—0. Numerous injuries to the starting string hurt the team con¬ siderably. However, each and every player tried to the best of his ability and was backed by a proud student body. The Homecoming festivities did not end with the actual game. Following the game was the traditional homecom¬ ing dance honoring the newly crowned queen and her court. The first dance was dedicated to Queen Dawn, who whirled around the floor with her escort Dennis Shipley, to the harmonious music of the TJ’s. When the clock struck eleven the dance ended and the Lowell High School Homecoming of 1966 was brought to a close. However it will remain in the memories of the students who participated in it the rest of their lives.
