J. Adams iiifv i What is a school? What is its effect on those who are its students? How will it shape the lives we will lead? The years we spend in Lowell High School do not limit this effect, for the choices we will make, the decisions we will reach are made largely from the values we develop from those teachers and classmates who surround us. The clubs, the athletic teams, and the classes we participate in all combine to shape us—to make us what we will be. Though some of us will fail, most of us will succeed with the background we have gained here. Lowell High School will help make us what we will be; it will effect us far beyond the brief four years we spend here. This future mark, as well the present mark LHS makes on us, is the IMPACT our school has on us. It is to this IMPACT—this life shaping effect—that we dedicate the Lowellian of 1968. 5 Convocations, pep sessions, dances, plays, musicals, and post-sectional days leave a lasting impact on each of our lives. The inspiration of a guest speaker at a convocation will always be remembered; the thrill of a rousing pep session as the cheerleaders urge us on to new heights of spirit and support for our team; the groovey feeling of dancing with a “certain ” someone; the enjoyment the audience re¬ ceives and the satisfaction the performers receive at a “hit play or musical; and the feeling of pride as each of the student body can say, “We’re number one. These are the segments of our school life that leave a lasting impact on our lives as we prepare to take part in future events of the world.

Queen Linda Reigns in ’68 Participation was the word for Homecoming ‘68. The students donned sweatshirts on Monday, solid colors on Tuesday, flowers had the power on Wednesday, we dressed up on Thursday, and backed our team with school colors on Friday. Posters, like Mellody Kudlo ' s (left) decorated the halls and symbolized the students ' spirit. Students worked after school to prepare floats for the biggest and best homecoming parade ever. The parade led crowds to the bon¬ fire (right) where cheers were shouted. The winners of the float competition were an¬ nounced: The Home-Ec Club took first, the Pep Club, second, and the Senior Class, third. The annual pep session was moved indoors because of rain, but no natural element could depress the dynamic Devils, and their fantastic followers. The Griffith 13, Lowell 7 halftime score failed to depress the crowd as Student Coun¬ cil President, Pete Kasper, crowned Linda Wea¬ ver Homecoming Queen. The conflict resumed and the Devils, deter¬ mined to win the most important game of the year, pulled through victoriously as we topped the Panthers, 21 — 20. 8 The Devils planned their strategy under the supervision of captain, Don Van Deurson. Lowell Downs Griffith 21—20 9 Big Sis—Little Sis Party Lowell ' s second annual Big Sis-Little Sis parly was held on September 26, 1967. Among other seniors who pro¬ vided entertainment were, Linda Weav¬ er, Linda Kitchens, and Chris Nassau (upper left) who illustrated how to play London Bridge Is Falling Down, while Judy Nord and Clyda Sark (upper right) furnished music for the game. Cookies and punch were served by the Home Ec girls, and the freshmen were instructed how to dress for school the next day, wearing a dark skirt, a white blouse, a green neck scarf, a green hair ribbon around a pony tail, one nylon and one sports sock. The Grand Finale, however, came the next day during noon hour when the freshmen went into the gym and bowed to the seniors (below) just to show their respect (?). 10 Boys ' and Girls’ State Delegates Boys FRONT ROW: R Brown.

Each year a few selected Junior boys and girls are delegated to participate in Girls ' and Boys ' State at Indiana University in Bloomington. During their slay on the scenic university campus the delegates learn the principles of the Indiana Government. They are given a chance to run for election to office and mock elections are held at the end of their stay. For one day the delegates assume the responsibility that the office en¬ titles.

Forty boys took interest and were organized into four teams. The games had many thrilling moments, and all arguments kept to a minimum. No one fought without a referee. With a friendly honest game of round-ball in mind, the evening sounded with a BUZZ from the clock. But if the scorer wasn ' t cheating, the timer holding time, or the referees showing favorit¬ ism the games would not have been so successful. Before the games were over everyone knew “it’s not how you play the game it ' s who wins’’ The winning team was: left to right, J. Hall, M. Strickhorn, T. Schutz, S. Beier, B. Hall, L. Schrombeck, and D. Galbraith. 14 CAST Gordon Warren John Billings Charley Plunkett Dennis A Hie Mrs. Maggs Cheryl Mentzer Mary Lou Brennan Geri Pane ini Don Donley Malcolm Smith Larry Donley Hooker Poppe Miss Entwhistle Linda Weaver Miss Prather Sue Likens Jane Gardner Chris Nassau Carol lizard Brenda Cavinder Mrs. Donley Clarisse Ritter High School Students Diana Holloway Tom Lump Lock, Stock, and Lipstick On November 17, 1968, the Senior class pre¬ sented Lock, Stock, and Lipstick, a three act comedy by John Henderson. The play con¬ cerned a stuffy” guidance counselor in a typical High School, who objected to anything new or unusual. His world was just fine until his office was “ invaded” by a woman counselor. The plot thickened with the disappearance of $500 of yearbook money. With money found, the battle of the sexes won, and the principalship in the hands of our hero, a happy ending was enjoyed by all. The Queen and her court are honored in the first dance of the evening. Time passes quickly as everyone joins in on the fun of dancing at Home¬ coming.

Juniors Present: Gone With the Wind Pete and Geri lead couples into another turn during the Grand March. May 18, 8:30 P.M., the Lowell VFW was the scene for this year ' s Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was Gone With the Wind, which the Juniors chose to illuminate in shades of pink. The “dropped” ceiling was two shades of delicate pink, and each table was centered with an arrange¬ ment of pink flowers. To go along with the flavor of the theme, the stage was decorated as a Southern Mansion, with four white pillars and two large double doors to the rear. The couples danced until mid¬ night to the music of the Johnny Gene orchestra. Later in the evening, the grand march took place, and everyone joined. The evening was ended with the crowning of the King and his Queen. 18 Junior class President, Larry Klien, announces the 1968 Prom King and Queen.

The Tea was held in the Lowell High School Gym on May 9. at 7:30. The gym was decorated in shades of pink, highlighted with paper roses and arrangements of fresh flowers. The evening began as Jean Abraham gave a welcome to all the mothers. Next came the parade of the Queen and Court. Following this was the entertainment which consisted of a song by the GAA officers (right) and a style show prepared by the Home Economics club.

Two American adventurers, played by Phil Slaman and Rod¬ ney Schoon, find Brigadoon on a day when a wedding is to take place. The two men are fascinated with the quaint old village and decide to stay for the wedding.

The purpose of the Pageant is to find the ideal high school senior girl who must meet high standards with emphasis placed on per¬ sonality, character, achievement, and poise. The girls were presented with charm bracelets. As winner, Judy received the title of Lowell’s Junior Miss and the opportunity to represent Lowell in the State Junior Miss Pageant held in Frankfort, Indiana.

Miss Pat, of Patricias School of Dance, helps girls with make-up for the song and dance rou¬ tine pictured below. The Band, under the direction of Mr. Robert Stepp, presented a musical entitled Musical Moods.” The Stage Band provided the pro¬ gram with a variety of recent hits and old favorites, while the rest of the band took part in the dancing routines, singing, and skits. Many hours of hard work and practice went toward making the show a success, and the band is looking forward to another next year. Don VanDeursen receives the All-Sports award for his outstanding participation in athletic events during his high school career. Mr. Milakovic, athletic director, presents Dave Roberts with the A thletic Scholarship award. LHS Students Receive Honors Dave Roberts. Pete Kasper, and Don VanDeursen display their Letter Blankets, an award presented to them for earning the required amount of points in their High School Aihletic career. This was the first time this award has been given at Lowell. Pete Kasper is awarded a gavel by Mr. Lemond for his faithful service as Stu¬ dent Council President. This year ' s most valuable staffer award was pre¬ sented to Judy Fleener for her outstanding job as editor of the Lowellette. Mr. Snell and Mr. Sype receive a special award for their contribution to the Drivers Education Program at Lowell. The 1968 Awards Day was held in the high school gymnasium on May 22, 1968. As done in the past, the Senior class sat in front on the gym floor to denote special honor. The Seniors were the recipients of most of the honors. Awards are given in every field, including art, pub¬ lications, sports, and acedentic achievements. Among other awards given, there were: The American Legion Scholarship awarded to James Bur¬ roughs: the American Legion Auxiliary Scholarship awarded to Marie Beckmann; the Elizabeth Brownell Award to Malcolm Smith; the Gladys Hetherington English Award given to James Burroughs, as well as the Bausch and Lomb Science A ward; the DeKalb Agriculture Award to Don Kutemier; the Betty Crocker A ward given to Judith Holt; and the DA R Good Citizenship A ward to Clyda Sark. These were only a few of the many awards given on Honor Day. The purpose of this day is to acknowl¬ edge the many activities of the students other than just academic achievements. 27 Mr. Adams presents Mellody Kudlo with the Publications A rt Editor A ward. Clyda Sark accepts the DA R good citizenship A ward. For outstanding achievement in a Foreign language, Linda Weaver accepts the French award. This year ' s girl ' s art award was presented to Mellody Kudlo for her achievements and work in the field of art. 28 The impact of academics on our lives is an important one. The elements of knowl¬ edge we gain in our classes remain with us forever. Our knowledge is the determining factor that will gain us membership in a college, or get us a better position in the working world. The classes we attend give us an op¬ portunity to express ourselves, to learn about our world, and to evaluate our ideas and ideals. These leave a lasting impact on us which will, in time, determine the way we live and the type of person we be¬ come. IMPACT Mr. Elbert and Dr. Schnepf “Doctor is out, can I take a message? You might very well have heard these words in the office second semester, for Mr. Schnepf added the title Doctor to his name after completing the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Educational Administration. Joining our Principal in planning for the new facility growing rapidly to the East of Lowell, is our Assistant Principal Mr. James Elbert. While the new school building took up much of their time this past year, both had the pleasure of administering a school which won its first sectional, scored a winning football record for the first time in years, and generally dazzled the world with its brillance (!?). To both Dr. Schnepf and Mr. Elbert we owe a debt of gratitude for keeping LHS on the road to success scholastically, athletically, and in the field of making good citizens. 32 Superintendent of Schools, Roger Sturm and Assistant, Wilford Ogle are the “men down town” in the main office of the Tri-Creek system. Much of this year was spent, no doubt, in planning for occupancy of the new high school building. Grade schools and junior highs also must have busied the minds of our administrators, for planning for the future is one of the constant activities with such positions as these. Judging from the results of the short three years past, they are doing a fine job, and LHS and the community in general can be proud of them. Mr. Sturm takes a moment to consider one of the many problems he encounters in a day. 33 English Miss Elaine Bever Mrs. Hazel Nichols Mrs. Vivian Hile Mrs. Mary Dixon Science Mr. Omer Beeching Mr. PhiI Smith Mr. Bill Weiattd Mr. Sherman Lewis Mr Jack Ford Mr. Lawrence Ouwenga 37 Mrs. Loranna Walton Mr. Wendell Frederick 39 Social Mr. Mike Lemond 40 Mr. Robert Ray Art 41 Mr. James Little Vocational Agriculture and Home Economics m Mrs. Jannon Clark Miss Catherine Morrow Substitute and Assistants Mrs. Keithley (left) substitued for Miss Wilcox for more than 12 weeks after Miss Wilcox was injured in a fall. During this time. Mrs. Keithley became the same as any other teacher. Without her help, much of the business department would have been at a standstill. It was agreed by her students that she was a true asset to the staff of Lowell. Mrs. Sampson (below) was the first full-time study hall teacher. She kept the study hall orderly, made it a good place to study, as well as handing out a few punishments along the way. She too played a vital roll in the school year. Mrs. Stephen (left below) was, for the second year, an assistant to Miss Thompson. She aided many students in the choice of reading material, and located hundreds of research books for term paper writing people. We do not have a picture of Mr. Davis, but we feel some recognition is in order. He was our student teacher for 6 weeks, and also aided us in many ways. He supposedly learned as much from us as we from him, but he did present a change from the usual at Lowell. All of these people deserve a big THANK- YOU. For, without their help, our school year would have been a lot harder, and less profitable for us. Mr. Everett Molden. Mrs. Lorene Rader. Mr. Goldman Gibson. Mr. Leo Cronkhite.

The impact of belonging to an organization is a combina¬ tion of responsibility, new and binding friendships and fun. For a n organization to run smoothly, responsible conscientious people must put time and effort into every action. The mem¬ bers must be able to work together and get along, thus resulting in good friendships. Lastly, the outcome of an organization’s work is fun for all who participated and attended. This is the impact of organiza¬ tions on the student. t IMPA Publications Staff, left to right: J. Ruge. L. Weaver. B. Hall. G. Pancini. C. Nassau. D. Galbraith, C. Duncan. B. Hall.J. Stuart, D.

We are especially grateful to Mr. Ralph Adams, adviser; Geri Pancini, assistant editor; Clarisse Ritter, copy editor; Bud Hall, photographer; Ruthann Nichols, business manager. We wish next year ' s Lowellian staff all the headaches and sacrifices as usual, but mainly a lot of luck. To mention all the names of those who ' ve helped us produce the Lowellette would take far more space than we’re alloted, but we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help you ' ve given us this past term. To the gang last period, thanks for putting up with us especially on those hectic Wednesdays. Lowell students have the opportunity to display their literary talents in the annual publication of SCRIBBLINGS. Each year, Mrs. Nichols, Scribblings adviser, organizes the material and encourages the amateur authors to pursue their natural abilities. 50 Art Club Members: FIRST ROW: Mr. Ray, C. Fetsch, D.

The Latin Club, under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Nichols, had one of its most active years ever. The organization held its annual Latin Banquet on March 8, 1968. The group dressed in togas, ate lying on the floor, and had their food brought to them by ‘‘slaves ' ’ (to all you laymen, the slaves are first year Latin students). Before the din¬ ner began, the Pont if ex Maximus made a sacrifice and everyone at the dinner gave homage to Neptune (God of the Sea). The menu for the dinner was written in Latin, with English translation, and consisted of everything from apples to cookies. The other big activity of the Latin Club was the construction of a scale model of Rome. This was quite a lengthy project, be¬ cause as everyone knows, Rome wasn ' t built in a day. 52 FRONT ROW: Mr. Eminhizer, D. Allie, N. Bardens, M. Gunnerson. P. Slamen. ROW 2: G. Pancini, C. Menlzer.

Vice President. Thespians is a dramatic organiza¬ tion for those who have earned enough points during their high school years by participating in dramatic produc¬ tions. Being a member of Thespians is a great honor, because in order for one to belong to the organization, he must be able to accept both criticism, and disappointment with the patience of Job. The society was reorganized and brought back to life under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Jim Eminhizer. New of¬ ficers were elected, new members inducted, and plans for future dra¬ matic events were discussed. 53 Spanish Club Members: FIRST ROW: M. Truchan, K. Wade. S. Corns, M. Tarne, C. Thomas, A.

The members helped boost Homecoming by en¬ tering a colorful and origi¬ nal float in the parade. The float was the setting for a bull fight with members in colorful authentic Span¬ ish costumes. To complete the year, they traveled to McVicker ' s theater in Chi¬ cago to see the play, Man of LaMancha’ which was enjoyed by all. Spanish Club B. Schilling, K. Meyers, N. Kelly, R. Farney, J.

French Club The first major event of the French Club’s third ac¬ tive year was a Christmas party held in the cafeteria. To raise funds, the members sponsored a unique auction of faculty donated articles. The auction was a success due to the generosity of the teachers, the enthusiasm of the club, and the glib talents of auctioneer, Mal¬ colm Smith. French Club Officers: President, M.

The FTA, in its first full year of existence, framed a constitution, selected permanent officers, and met regularly to prepare its members to enter the teaching profession. Perhaps the major route open to senior members of the club is the cadet teaching pro¬ gram offered through an agreement with the Oak Hill Grade and Junior High School. The program allows interested high school stu¬ dents to experience actual teaching conditions. 56 The 1967-68 Lowell High School Future Farmers of America. Future Farmers Association The Future Farmer of America are organized to promote agriculture among the boys who live on farms and who hope to go into farming after finishing school. During the 1967-68 year the FFA entered as many livestock and ani¬ mal judging contests as the school schedule allowed. The number of firsts and seconds won by the LHS FFA shows more clearly than words can the success the group has had under Mr. James Little. FFA Officers: H. Scheerings, D. Gorball. D. Kutemeier, M.

Meetings often feature a guest speaker ad¬ dressing the girls on various infor¬ mative topics. Members engage in an annual project of community service of school improvement. And. of course, the Home Economics cooperates with the G.A.A. to plan and execute the Mother ' s Tea. which is not planned to be a profitable event; therefore, the dub conducts a vig¬ orous candy campaign to defray costs.

Our halls are full of students with beaming faces and these faces are representative of Sunshine Club members. The club is composed of students elected as Freshmen, who continue to serve for four years. Bring in your Betty Crocker coupons! This is a familiar cry of the organization. The club has been saving coupons for several years with the intent of buying the school a gift when the desired amount is reached. Also, the club, along with the Student Council, is supporting an Indian boy, Richard Lopez. Their most important duty, is perhaps, for the members to always wear a smile and be ready to serve when needed. FRONT ROW: J. Lanour, D. Stokes, B. Cavinder, P. Black, S. Hartwich, D.

First in the Whiting parade, the Band re¬ ceived 5th place, later in the day, they won first place marching in the Portage parade. Other events during the year were the Riverview Mardi Gras, the Labor Day Parade, half-time football routines, basketball games, pep ses¬ sions, and l.S.U.

Girls Athletic Association The Girls Athletic Association is a dedicated group of High School girls who wish to keep their bodies in the best physical condition pos¬ sible, and their minds alert. They accomplish this end through par¬ ticipating in intra-mural sports after school. The organization co-operates in making possible the Mothers’ Tea. Other activities include a float for the Homecoming parade, and trav¬ eling to other schools in the con¬ ference to participate in basketball. All in all, the girls have a good time, keep their bodies fit, and learn what it is like to strive for supremacy on the field of friendly rivalry. Left to right: D. Sharkey, Secretary: M.

They must be at the right places at the right times, since they hold a big responsibility to all of the students at L.H.S. Their efficiency and co-operation have made this yearbook a success. We would like to give special thanks to all the photography staff for their much appreciated help. A special thanks goes to Bud Hall, who was the head photographer who devoted much time and effort to give us candid shots and other pictures which enables us to show the actual school life of the students. 67 N.H.S.

Besides presenting the annual Christmas for¬ mal, “Winter Wonderland,” the Council conducted this year ' s Victorious Home¬ coming festivities. The ser¬ vice project which is done annually for the town of Lowell was, this year, a baby-sitting clinic, held at the high school, to allow busy mothers the oppor¬ tunity to shop without Junior.” Certainly this past year ' s most unusual proj¬ ect was the Computer Dance held concurrently with Crown Point High School. The impact of sports at Lowell is de¬ sire, the desire to end up in the winners circle.” This year, that desire became a reality. Each member of every team gave all he possibly could to make our school come out on top. With the added strength of a great coaching staff, and a few hun¬ dred loyal Devil fans, we did just that, came out on top. The players received added impact from the continual cheers of the fans, and the fans received encouragement from the brilliant plays made by their heroes. IMPA FRONT ROW: Mgr. D. Herlitz, T.

After only one year of rebuilding and preparation, the 1967 ver¬ sion of the Lowell Red Devils took a crucial step upward on the ladder of success. To say the least, it has been a rather steep climb. Led by a two year veteran coaching staff, our gridmen tasted vic¬ tory, something new for Lowell. After a slow start, our squad picked up momentum along with vital enthusiasm, and was undefeated in the final five contests. The final ledger read 5 — 4 — I. Also, to the dismay of the coaching staff, no loss came by more than a single down. According to Coach Klein, Many teams would have folded fol¬ lowing a heartbreaking loss such as that against Merrillville, and then having to settle for a tie the next week against Lake Central. These young men, however, had the strength ofpurpose to win. Led by All-Conference quarterback, Don VanDeursen and defensive co-captain, Leo Hughes, the Red Devils did just that—they won! After victory eluded them in the final seconds against Merrillville, and in a tough tie game against Lake Central with All-State fullback Greichunos, the 1967 Devils won four straight. We rolled over Griffith, Portage, Highland, and Gary Edison to end the season. At the outset, it was a comparatively inexperienced team. Therefore, the game experience gained through the early part of the season provided the tools necessary to do the job during the latter part. 72 Tom Lump Fullback Tom Perfetti Fullback Don VanDeursen Quarterback Lowell 13 Munster 19 Lowell 40 Whiting 0 Lowell 7 Crown Point 13 Lowell 21 Calumet 26 Lowell 13 Merrillville 19 Lowell 7 Lake Central 7 Lowell 21 Griffith 20 Lowell 6 Portage 0 Lowell 14 Highland 0 Lowell 40 Gary Edison 7 FRONT ROW: J.

Coach Ford kept the hoys busy by practicing every day, and making occasional trips to the Dunes to run in the sand. A though this was exhausting, it helped the boys have a better season.

Varsity Basketball It ' s been a long time since anyone has been able to ask a Lowell basketball coach what was the key to his success. This year it ' s possible. It seems that there were many factors which contributed to this year ' s winning season.

This year’s squad had all of them, the result, a tremendous 19—5 sea¬ son. This record is very significant. It includes such firsts as most wins in Lowell ' s history, least losses, most points in a season, and greatest average of points per game. The best previous record was 15—7 in 1922-23. Even more honors were bestowed on this year ' s team. It was the school ' s second Calumet Conference champion and our first Sectional championship. Also, we received the Sectional Sportsmanship trophy, which is a great honor. There were also many memorable individual awards. One went to our fine coach, Mr. Ford, who was named the Suburban Coach of the year. Rodney Schoon was All-Conference, All- Sectional, and Co-most valuable player; John McLellan was All-Conference Honorable Men¬ tion, All-Regional, and received the team’s assist award; Don VanDeursen was All-Sectional and Co-most valuable player of the team; and Dave Roberts was All-Sectional and received the team’s free throw percentage award. The Juniors receiving honors were Terry Padgett, All-Con¬ ference Honorable Mention, and team rebounding award; and Tom Johnson, the team field goal percentage award. Don VanDeursen John McLellan Rodney Schoon 79 Terry Padgell cuts the last strings of the net, which symbolizes a hard fought hut welcome victory.

Lowell Devils Capture Sectional Title Co-captains John McLellan, Dave Roberts, and Don Van- Deursen jubilantly share temporary possesion of the sec¬ tional trophy. Right, We re number one. The 1967-68 Lowell Red Devil basketball team ac¬ complished a feat unequaled in the history of the school—a Sectional Championship! As the Sectionals began at Crown Point, few had chosen Lowell to go all the way. The concensus was that the winner of the Griffuh-Crown Point game in the afternoon would emerge as champion. The Devils, however, had other ideas. We overcame Hanover in the initial game with a come-from-behind fourth quarter, and eliminated highly touted Merrill¬ ville in the Saturday afternoon game. We were in the finals! This alone had only once been done by a Lowell basketball team. Judy Nord and Linda Weaver display photograph accepted by Pete Kasper, Student Council President from Mr. Strong, N1PSCO representative. As expected. Crown Point bumped off Griffith, for the third time of the season. Our archrivals were to be our opponents in our bid for the Sec¬ tional crown! Crown Point grabbed an early lead, and we were down by three at the quarter. Both teams played on even terms in the second quarter, with the Devils gaining the edge at the half 36 — 33 . When the third quarter began, the Devils caught fire. We out-scored them 10—2 in the first two minutes of the second half on quickies by Johnson and Padgett, and five straight points by Roberts. That was the ball game—final: 82 — 68 and our first Sectional Championship! FRONT ROW to r: J. Casarez mgr., R. Marsh, D. A. Keithley, G. McLean, D. Bruckman, Coach W. Weiand, Roberts, D. Wiles, D.

The final 6—8 season record was not indicative of the team, considering that during the season we gave away thirty points in forfeits. Since we seldom lost by more than four or five points, those thirty points possibly prevented a winning season. Also hindered by broken bones and illness we had to call on the J. V. wres¬ tlers eight times to fill in. When needed they did fine jobs and showed much promise. We will miss the eight seniors on the squad next year since all but two had winning records. However, with the help of a fine coach, Mr. Siatta, the underclassmen should be able to fill the spots well. 84 Ken Bluett Leo Hughs Lowell 29 A ndrean 21 Lowell 14 Calumet 34 Lowell 22 Lake Central 18 Lowell 24 Chesterton 22 Lowell 14 Griffith 30 Lowell 24 Merrillville 21 Lowell 19 Crown Point 32 Lowell 28 East Gary 22 Lowell 9 Gary Wirt 31 Lowell 19 Portage 20 Lowell 19 Highland 24 Lowell 13 Gary Edison 31 Lowell !6 Munster 28 Lowell 26 Twin Lakes 21 Randy Zakula Conference Champion Sectional Champion Regional Second FRONT ROW: G.

Clyda Sark I MPA C T Of The impact of high school on the under¬ classmen is anticipation. They wait for school sweaters, class rings, their first Christmas Formal, and the first Junior- Senior prom they can attend. The underclassmen support their school and team with an appealing, fresh type of enthusiasm that can only be matched by the most loyal of Devil fans. They bring this support to all the sports activities in the form of loyal cheers, to the convoca¬ tions by active participation, and into the classroom in their own form of a new quest for knowledge. V 120 Juniors m The Junior class devoted most of their “off-duty” hours to the task of raising money for the ’68 prom. In addition to many things, they sponsored a Sadie Haw¬ kins Day Dance, numerous car washes, and a very suc¬ cessful booth at the Student Council Carnival. Their work was not in vain, for the prom. Gone With The Wind, was one of the most beautiful ever.

Truchan B Wells B Weslerfield B. Wiles M. Zatorski The impact of advertising on this year¬ book has been a helpful one. Without the fine businessmen in the Lowell Communi¬ ty, there would have been no yearbook, for they supply a great deal of the money needed in producing this yearly production. Many students, as well as our business manager, and photographer, gave many long hours for the purpose of selling and taking pictures of the following advertise¬ ments. Perhaps a special thanks should be given to everyone connected with the business department, for their assistance in making the following pages possible.
