STARRY-EYED COUPLES dance around the floor beneath the mistletoe-burdened center- piece. New semi-formal attire, hair-dos, and corsages adorn the couples for their evening of pleasure. Formal Highlights Tuletide Season MELODIOUS TONES OF Christmas carols and both popular and classi¬ cal selections are produced by Don Adams and his Combo during the eve- ning. The music provides the proper background to put the couples in the true Christmas spirit. With the arrival of the Christmas season comes the anticipation of the annual Mistletoe Ball. Prior to the occasion Student Council members carefully planned and carried out the business of publicity, decorations, hiring a band and ticket sales in order to create a Christmas Formal long to be remembered in the hearts of LHS’ers. Finally the long awaited night of December 22nd rolled around offering the couples an eve¬ ning of ecstasy. The American Legion Hall was transformed to establish the theme “The Night Before Christmas” while the traditional Christ¬ mas tree decked the hall with the true Christmas spirit. Couples danced to the musical arrange¬ ments of Don Adams and his Combo or merely conversed over soft candlelight with the tranquil rhythm provided by the combo in the back¬ ground. Delicious refreshments of various kinds of Christmas cookies and punch were served by mem¬ bers of Student Council. Chaperones included members of the faculty and parents. The Student Council provided a very enjoyable winter evening for approximately 100 couples. EAGER FACES of a few gentle¬ manly escorts wait in line for the refreshments served by the mem¬ bers of the Student Council.

Nancy Steinkamp Earns Jr. Miss Title ABOVE—Lowell’s Jr. Miss, Nancy Steinkamp, in formal attire and crown, smiles with eager anticipation of the upcoming state pageant in Frankfort. AT LEFT—Nancy shows off her creative talent as a pantomimist doing “I’m Five” by Barbra Streisand in which she portrays a little girl in pigtails with her favorite teddy bear. On November 19 at 7:00 p.m. in the Oak Hill School, this year’s Jr. Miss Pageant officially began. Seven charming young ladies com¬ peted in four different categ ories in order to find not only Lowell’s most lovely young miss, but, the town’s most versatile one. Annually this pageant provides the L.H.S. senior girls an oppor¬ tunity to display their talents in the areas of scholastics, creative arts, poise, personality, and public speaking. The pageant is sponsored each year by the Lowell Junior Chamber of Commerce. This year’s talent competition was varied and exciting. There were a few vocalists, two pantomimists, some modeling given with a per¬ sonal touch, and even a ballerina! Each girl was an excellent per¬ former in her own right and each had the inner glow of sincerity which is a necessity for all junior misses. The judges decision at last was reached and last year’s Jr. Miss, Linda Klein, crowned Miss Nancy Steinkamp, Lowell’s Jr. Miss 1967. 1967 JR MISS AND COURT, Louann DeWell, Julie Seramur, Marcia Wilson, Jr. Miss, Nancy Steinkamp, Cindy Livin- good, Brenda Lee, and Melody Reichert.
