The tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy lent a somewhat subdued atmosphere to the year. The riots during the Chicago Democratic Convention led to public inquiries of reactionary disturbances. World affairs were not in much better condition. Russia invaded Czechoslovakia. The Olympics were almost cancelled because of student riots in Mexico City. The Paris peace talks had not fared well in negotiating an end to the war in Viet Nam. The Apollo VIII crew, however, gave America a beautiful Christmas present with their around-the-moon flight that indicat¬ ed moon landings in the near future. In the local news the 1968-1969 school year was a year of community pride in the accomplish¬ ments of L.H.S. students During the fall semester the football team won the Southern Division title in Calumet Con¬ ference play and placed many boys on All Star teams. At the same time the Cross Country team was taking many honors and qualified for the Regional. With the coming of the second semester, Lowell laid claim to the 1969 Indiana Junior Miss. The basketball team es¬ tablished a winning record, and the wrestling team produced a sectional winner. Throughout the year extensvie plans were made for the new school. The class of 1969 had the honor of being the last i to graduate from Old LHS. We hope that as underclassmen change from the old building to the new, they will take with them the tradition and spirit of old Lowell High as an essential part of student life. 3 Student Life ’69 What is a student’s life like? It is classes, lunch hour, clubs, dances, and all the fun a student wants to make of it. A typical Lowell High School student’s life might include Homecoming, the Christmas dance, classes from eight to three, and a variety of clubs. A student’s interests may range anywhere from building a float to acting in plays. Each student did what he could do best and made ' other students’ lives more enjoyable. Among this year’s highlights were a winning football team, an exciting basketball season, a lovely prom, and Indiana’s Junior Miss. Not many schools had the quality of Lowell’s 1969 student life, but then not every school had the same quality of students to make it that way. 5 Queen Pam assisted by Mike David descends for the traditional first dance of Homecoming. The flowers, crown, and winning smile of our homecoming queen. For the Lowell Red Devils, Homecoming week was a schedule of vigorous activities. Attired in the appropriate wardrobe selected for each day, the stu¬ dent body decorated school halls, store windows, and colorful floats; sponsored a parade and a bonfire; and participated in a spirited pep session. Then on a beautiful October night, our Devils faced the Portage Indians for the Homecoming game. The Devils, cheered on by an ecstatic crowd, scored twenty points in the first quarter. At halftime, Lowell was ahead 20—7. This score was the final outcome in favor of the Devils. At halftime a tearful Pam Ogborn was crowned Homecoming Queen before stands filled with cheering fans. The lovely queen was escorted by Mike David. Pam’s court and their escorts were: Seniors Alison Van Nada and Ron Brown, Karen Wade and Bruce Herz, Juniors Jane Hile and Doug Wiles, Sandi Sirois and Dan Ping, Sophomores Nancy Lucas and Rod Purkey, and Freshmen Joan Hoffman and Chuck Huseman. At the Homecoming Dance after the game, students celebrated their team’s victory to the music of the “Wheels of Fortune”. 6 Homecoming ' 68 The 1968-69 Homecoming Court and Queen: Freshman, Joann Hoffman; Junior, Jane Hile; Senior, Alison Van Nada; Queen Pam Ogborn; Senior, Karen Wade; Junior, Sandy Sirois; and Sophomore, Nancy Lucas. L.H.S. students celebrate the Homecoming victory to the music of the Wheels of Fortune. As Pam entered to begin her reign over the Homecoming dance, she was honored with a standing ovation. Who says our Homecoming Court isn ' t poised? Junior Miss 1969 Lowell’s annual Jaycee Junior Miss Pageant was held November 22, 1968, at Oak Hill Grade School. The purpose of the pag¬ eant was to select the ideal senior girl on the basis of skill or talent, scholastic achievement, citizen¬ ship, and personal interviews with the judges. Entrants and talents for the 1968-1969 pageant were Pam Ogborn, pantomiming “Sec¬ ond Hand Rose”; Cheri Hart- wich, playing “Sunrise Serenade”; on the organ; Monica Beckmann, presenting a rendition of “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”; Mary Beth Love, vocalizing her song “The Look of Love”; Janis Potter, attired in an outfit of her own making, playing “This is My Country”; Susie Stuart performing a piano solo of “The Apartment”; and Alison Van Nada modeling and presenting her original skit, “Me and My Machine.” The results: Susie Stuart was selected runner-up to Lowell’s New Junior Miss, Alison Van Nada. Judy Nord, Lowell’s, 1968 Junior Miss, crowns Alison Van Nada the 1969 winner, while Susie Stuart, runner-up looks on. Susie became Lowell’s reigning Jr. Miss when Alison won the State position. “The Look of Love ” “Cinderella’s Daydream?” 10 Indiana ' s Junior Miss Alison Van Nada On January 18, 1969, at Frank¬ fort, Alison Van Nada was crowned Indiana’s Junior Miss. Alison’s coronation was preceded by three days of practice and competition in which she came in close contact with Indiana’s other local winners. On the big night twelve finalists were announced according to judging on Thursday and Friday. The finalists did a physical fitness routine, were judged for poise and appearance in their formals, and performed their individual talents. Alison’s routine was a skit, Bonnie and Clyde style, to model individual outfits she had made. One of her props was a huge red and black roadster made of plywood. She received many wonderful prizes, including a $1,000 scholarship, two $500 savings bonds, a camera, lug¬ gage, and 30 lbs. of candy. On May 6, Alison competed in the national finals at Mobile, Ala¬ bama, for the honor of becoming America’s Junior Miss.

In the pre-season poll taken by Calumet Conference coaches, they overwhelmingly picked Lowell to capture the Southern Conference Division title. How right they were! Lowell punted, passed, and kicked it’s way to the school’s most impressive grid record in recent years by -posting a great 8—2 record overall and a 5—0 conference record. Among the memorable victories this year were a 19—0 white-washing of arch-rival Crown Point, and another shutout victory, 28—0 over Highland for the Southern Division Conference championship. Lowell was guided to a fine season by all-state and all-conference lineman, Stu Williams, all-conference end; Terry Padgett, and all-conference center Joe Hile. Among the returning lettermen will be: Doug Roberts, quarterback; Don Alkire, Tom Hoffman, and Jim Walker, backfield; and linemen: John Flatt, John Sharkey, Dorn Pancini, and Frank Mentink.

This year the Cross Country team, with the aid of their ever faithful mascot—THE ROAD¬ RUNNER, had another very good season. They were sparked by four year letterman Rich Boomsma who placed fourth in the Sectionals this year. The team itself placed high enough in the Sectional to earn a birth in the Regional Cross Country Meet. As our team progressed farther into the tourney the opponents grew tougher. The Red Devils finished eleventh in the Regional competition.

This year the Devils had a fine 15—6 over all record and an 8—2 Calumet Conference record which landed us in second behind the Co-Champs—Crown Point and Calumet. Tom Keithley was voted the most valuable player of the 1968-69 season. Terry Padgett broke the school scoring record previously held by Ron Wietbroch by scoring 794 points and also broke Randy Harkabus’ two year scoring record by compiling a total of 400 points. Terry also had the best field goal per cent. Other team members to get individual awards were: Tom Johnson, Rebounding award; Tom Hoffman, Most assists; Dave Myers, Best free-throw percentage.

If anyone ever had a knack for winning basketball games it is Coach Bill (Bomber) Weiand and his boys. In three years Coach Weiand’s teams have compiled an unbelievable 51—5 record! This year they had a 17—1 record with their only loss coming by two points to a lucky Highland team, 44—42. They did chalk up very impressive victories against Crown Point, 73—60, and Munster, 82—56. Lowell looks forward to another promising basketball season as these boys move up to the varsity squad. Freshman Basketball FIRST ROW: C. Huseman, G. Carlson, C. Schutz, S. McLellan, Carter, B.

Freshmen Charlie Drewry and Buzz Purkey, showed a lot of talent this year and Coach Saitta predicts promising futures for both these boys. Bob Gunning, a transfer student from Ohio, held down the 95 lb. weight class. Al¬ though he won only 3 matches, he gained experience for next year. The Red Devil wrestling team produced one sectional winner, Dan Ping. Dan also placed 1st at the Munster Invitational Tour¬ nament, as did Dan Steuer. Returning let- termen for next year’s squad will be John Flatt, Dom Pancini, Dan Steuer, Doug Hoffman, and Dan Ping. WRESTLING SCORE BOX DEVILS OPP.

Schuyler This year’s junior varsity wrestling team, though not having a particularly outstanding won—loss record, showed much promise of good things to come for future teams. Comprised mostly of freshmen, our boys had to often wrestle teams that were bigger, older, and more experienced. Undaunted by this, the team had a record of 5 wins and 7 losses to show what a lot of practice and hard work can do. Leading the team was sophomore Mike Yankauskas with a record of 7—0—2. He made a total of 33 individual points against opponents’ indi¬ vidual 14 points, while making 33 team points to an op¬ posing team point total of 4. The large number of boys participating in J. V. wrestling also gives an indication of interest in the sport, so who knows, the class of 1972 may come up with the strongest wrestling team that Lowell has ever had. 2—0, T. Roberts 4—6, D.

Intramural Competition? Competitors Tom Schutz, Ed Jerzyk, Ben Mentink, Larry Klein, Floyd Spoor, Bruce Herz, and Craig Pilcher. Intramural Sports provide competition for boys who aren’t participating in regular season sports. Various sports this year were softball, basketball, and volleyball. Playoffs and championship games high¬ lighted the various “seasons.” Sponsored this year by Mr. McCloud, the boys enjoyed sports under his coach¬ ing. 38 LHS Stage Band Presents Musical Moods First performed last year. Musical Moods has now become a yearly affair. Directed by Mr. Huber, this year’s pro¬ gram was performed by the stage band and a variety of dancers. Most of the dances were worked out by the performers themselves and much time and energy was spent to make the show a success. Many noon hours and late practice hours were spent to coordinate music and dance. Thanks to their perseverence, the band members can be proud of the show. Among the many selections played were “The Peter Gunn Theme” and “Cabaret.” A peppy jazz routine proves to be as much fun for the dancers as for the audience. 39 Rest Assured Presented as All-School Play This year’s all-school play was Rest Assured. The cast was chosen following tryouts held for all interested high school students. Two per¬ formances were given: a matinee for the student body and an evening performance for the gen¬ eral public. The performances were well received and the play itself was deemed a success. CAST Mr. Morlock . . Luigi Laconi . . . Jessica Morlock Mrs. Morlock . George Plew . . Joe Lanconi . . . Miss Akers . . .

Either way she received the biggest laughs with her devilish cohort Lucifer. Judy Hoover’s solo in “Joan of Arc” was the highlight of the choir pre¬ sentation. The Choir Presents Up with People The Lowell High School Choir presented an unusual concert of patriotic songs in their production, “Up With People.” This type of program is being produced extensively by college students all over the United States and even in other countries. On the program were such songs as “Show- boat,” “Design for Dedication,” “A New Tomorrow,” “What Color is God’s Skin?,” “The Ride of Paul Revere,” and the theme song, “Up With People.” The highlight of the show was Judy Hoover’s solo in “Joan of Arc.” Most of the songs were accompanied by drums and guitars which all the kids are accustomed to. Some of the songs were novelty tunes done by selected members of the choir. The audience enjoyed the program as much as the choir enjoyed producing it. Choir members set the song “You Can’t Think Crooked and Live Straight” in motion. Student Council Brightens the Yule Sue Flewellen and Sherry Snell serve refreshments of punch and cookies. Chaperones also enjoyed an evening o f entertainment. 42 tide Season with Silver Bells This year’s annual Student Council Christ¬ mas Dance, set to the theme of “Silver Bells”, was held at the American Legion Hall. Nearly seventy couples spent the evening dancing to the tempo of “The Carpetbaggers”, or quietly conversing at candle-lit tables. Refreshments of cookies and punch were served. The evening left couples with a warm feeling, characteristic of the Yuletide season. Sherry offers Bud his choice of cookies. Carnival Lili, a poor, recently orphaned girl, from Mira, tries to get a job at B. F. Schlegel’s Cirque de Paris. She meets Marco the Magnif¬ icent, the carnival’s magician, who immediately offers her a job, much to the disapproval of his helper, the Incomparable Rosalie. The carnival’s puppeteers, Paul Berthalet and Jacquot aren’t happy either, because they don’t want Lili ex¬ posed to men like Marco. Lili’s suicide attempt, after losing her job, is discouraged by Carrot Top, Horrible Henry, Marguerite, and Renardo, the puppets. She joins the act, it becomes a huge success on the Midway, and Schlegel finally moves it to the main tent. Dr. Wilhelm Glass comes to claim Rosalie as his bride, leaving Marco without a partner. Lili gladly consents to help him, because she fears Paul. Jacquot tries to make Paul realize that she is only a child. It is only when he fears he has lost her, that Paul realizes he loves her. When Marco leaves with the unmarried Rosalie and a new contract, Lili realizes that her childish dream is over and that she must grow up. She starts to leave the carnival, but Paul finally tells her of his love, through the puppets. Lili then knows that she loves and needs him, too. Lili. (Leah Ellis), Horrible Henry, and Paul (Ed Jerzyk) share a brief moment of happi¬ ness. Rosalie (Abby Alt) leads the carnival people in a rousing rendition of “Direct from Vienna. Ann Dougherty, make-up chairman, applies side¬ burns to Marco (Ritchie Buchmeier) while Janet Stuhlmacher (student director) makes certain they ' re not beyond reason. 45 1969 May Court: Dave Myers, Vicki Combs, Fred Dahl, Monica Beckmann, Pam Ogborn, Tom Keithley, Cheryl Midkiff, Bill Gramman, Holly Jahnke, Tom Johnson, Janis Potter, Larry Bracey, Deana Ogborn, Queen Terri Lucas, Bud Hall. Queen Terri Reigns Over Mothers’ Tea The 1969 Mother’s Tea, sponsored by the GAA and the Home Economics Club, pro¬ vided an evening of enjoyment and entertain¬ ment for Lowell High School Mothers and daughters. Presentation of the 1969 May Queen, Miss Terri Lucas, and her court began the evening’s program. Additional items on the agenda included a fashion show, vocal and instrumental numbers, tumbling and tram¬ poline exhibitions, and gymnastic routines. A “tea” with cookies, punch, and conversa¬ tion concluded the evening. An array of cookies and punch, served by Sandy Anton, were refreshments for all who came to the Tea. 46 Students Entertain with a Variety of Talents Debbie Cripe performs on the balance beam. As a participant in the style show, Ruthann Ballou shows her talent as a seamstress with an outfit she made in Home Ec class. Dawn Childress, Bonnie Wells, and Jane Armstrong display their dancing in a jazz routine. Juniors Present “Romeo and Juliet’’ 1969 Style Cheri Hartwich and Joe Hile reign as Romeo Juliet of the prom. The theme “Romeo Juliet” set the atmo¬ sphere for the evening of May 17, 1969 at the Lowell V.F.W. There Lowell High’s annual Prom was presented to the Class of ’69 by the Juniors. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Cheri Hartwich and Joe Hile as Queen and King of the Prom. Following their coronation Cheri and Joe led a grand march, traditional at Lowell High. Couples then danced to tunes by the Johnny Gene Combo, amid blue-hued decorations prepared to accent the chosen theme. After the Prom most couples continued on to the Post Prom Party where they enjoyed a less formal atmosphere and were entertained by “The World Column.” An early morning dinner at the Post Prom Party pro¬ vided couples with energy to continue their celebra¬ tions through the morning hours and on to the next afternoon. Couples participate in the Grand March for a change of pace. Guys and their dates enter prom through a flowered archway. Now it’s Al’s and Sandi ' s turn.

Graduation 1969 was somewhat sad because it was the last to be cele¬ brated in the old building. Baccalaureate began with the processional of Seniors to “Onward Chris¬ tian Soldiers,” played by Debra Mansell. After the Invocation by Rev. Stanley Rolston, the Choir, under the direction of Mr. Frederick, sang “Exodus” and “Sing and Rejoice.” Rev. Robert Johnson counseled the graduating class in his address, “And This Is Life.” The ceremony ended with Rev. Rolston s Benediction. In the hours till eight, the graduates readied themselves for the big moment when they would no longer be high school students. At eight o’clock, Sunday, June 1, 1969, the Senior class officers led the Class of 1969 into the gym for the last time. “Pomp and Circumstance” was in the air, and farewell was in the hearts of many. After Rev. Bruce Kelley s Invocation, three seniors addressed the seniors, faculty, parents, and friends. Susan Stuart gave the welcome, “To Welcome You In Style.” Bruce Bailey’s comments were entitled “Where Do We Go From Here?” “Farewell From The Heart” was the theme of Mon¬ ica Beckmann ' s speech. Then the big moment—presentation of diplomas by Mr. Sturm. First to re¬ ceive theirs were the special Honor Section comprised of those students who had shown outstanding scholastic achievement in high school: Bruce Bailey, Monica Beckmann, Fred Dahl, Linda Hale, Cheri Hartwich, Claudia Luebcke, Cheryl Midkiff, Jill Ruge, Mary Ann Ruley, Teresa Selvidge, Susan Stuart, and Karen Wade. From Alliss to Yankauskas, they all received their diplomas and moved their tassels, then, not so solemnly, left Lowell High School for the last time. We left our personal stamp on Lowell school life and were now ready for the world, with only memories of high school left in our hearts to be cherished for years to come. Susie Stuart welcomes parents, friends, and fac- . ulty to Graduation 1969. Mr. Elbert gives a last bit of advice to the graduating Seniors of 1969. 58 . . .

Each club that one can join or be elected to has its own activities during the year. The Mardi Gras by the French Club, plays by the Thes¬ pians, or how about an art exhibit sponsored by the Art Guild? The Student Council even organizes a Carnival in which all the clubs and classes participate. Most of the organizations do just what their names denote. That is. Pep Club boosts pep at athletic events, the Future Teachers of America cadet teach, and the Scribblings staff . . . scribbles (?). It is fascinating to see students in these activities, and it is very rewarding for the student himself. He earns the satisfaction of having done some¬ thing interesting and worthwhile for himself and the rest of the school. ACTIVITIES ’69 Homecoming festivities, presentation of the Christmas Dance, and organization of the car¬ nival were the major activities of the Student Council. Other important activities included conducting a student exchange program with various schools in Lake County, collecting money for Lake Central High School’s WCAE Channel 50 project, an Easter proj¬ ect, and planning a student-faculty com¬ mittee. To help make the Student Council a coun¬ cil for L.H.S. students, a classroom project was set up. This project was organized so Council members could learn more about stu¬ dent problems. The Student Council and advisor Mr. Michael Lemond worked hard to promote better student relations this year and it is hoped that the reorganized Council will be just as successful next year.

National Honor Society Following tradition, the 1968-1969 National Flonor Society worked to fulfill its motto: To create an en¬ thusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in all students. Honor Society membership is awarded according to the qualifi¬ cations stated in its motto. In an April ceremony selected Seniors and Juniors were inducted, and Soph¬ omores were taken in as provisional members. The club sponsored a booth at the carnival and hosted the Annual Open House for the parents. The NHS members were also called upon to usher for various school programs. National Honor Society officers: Teresa Selvidge, secretary; Tom Keithley, vice-president; Monica Beckmann, president; Bruce Bailey, treasurer. 65 Lowell High’s Marching Red Devils The band’s program for the school year began with marching in the Labor Day Parade. The rest of the fall days were spent tuning up and practicing for football half-time shows, highlighted by the Homecoming pro¬ gram. At the close of the Football season, the band prepared for their annual Christmas Concert with the Choir. During halftime and between games Basketball fans were entertained by band members. The spring term was spent in preparation for the Spring Concert while the stage band practiced for their second annual Musical Moods. The climax to the Lowell High School Band program this year was the presentation of the band awards on Award Day. Awards presented were: Senior Awards, Best Band Member Award, and the Arion Award.

Members raised money for the flowers and cards by sponsoring a dance and organizing a coat check during basketball season. Other activities involving Sunshine members included decorating a window and car for homecoming and contributing a booth to the carnival. BOTTOM ROW: L. Hale, L. Westerfield, E. Reel, C. Abraham, S.

An organization formed for the advancement and improvement of the dramatic arts, the Lowell High chapter of the Thespian Society more than doubled its membership this year. Membership is a lifetime tenure in the national organization. To become a member one must accumulate ten points earned in dramatic activities such as plays, musicals, and variety programs. This doesn’t mean just acting, but also includes student directing, committee chairmen (props, make-up, costuming), and stagework (lights and scenery). This year additional points were earned by those already having memberships in the presentation of a program of three one-act plays. The members also participated and worked on other presentations: Musical Moods, the all-school play, and the Musical Carnival.

Home Economics Club It took a great deal of organization and work but this year’s Home Ec Club ended the year with a sense of accomplishment. Striving to provide activities which fostered higher ideals in homemaking, citizenship, and school loyalty, the Home Ec members took part in various community and school programs. Much time and effort was put into their clever Homecoming float, which was a first place winner again. Fun and laughter were shared by the members at the annual FFA-Home Ec Club Christmas party. Other activities during the year included working on community ser¬ vice projects and holding bi-weekly meetings led by a variety of guest speakers. The presentation of another lovely Mothers’ Tea concluded the ’68-’69 activities of the Home Ec Club. The opportunity for year-round recreation for girls is offered by the Lowell High School Girls Athletic Association. Partici¬ pation in intramural sports, as well as inter¬ school sports, such as basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics, kept GAA members active this year. In addition to athletic activity, the girls were busy planning and producing the annual Mothers’ Tea. The activities for the year were concluded with the GAA banquet in which awards were presented and the new officers were sworn in.

Despite the crumbling corsages, the lost float, and the many signs that blew away, the Pep Club did a credible job helping students feel like a part of L.H.S. This year a new constitution was introduced which included a point sys¬ tem as an incentive for participation. The largest project that confronted Pep Club members was the continuous job of making signs during the football, basketball and track seasons. Credit can also be given to the Pep Club and all its members for all their enthusiasm which inspired our teams to victory. Pep Club Officers: Mary Beth Love, president; Amy Nassau and Carol Bruce, treasurers; Jane Lump, vice president; Patti Roberts, secretary. 82 i i L” Club The Lettermen’s Club is an athletic organization to promote achievement in sports. Membership is based upon a cumulative point system, by which boys can earn a letter sweater and a letter jacket. Senior mem¬ bers who have earned a sufficient number of points and who are of good scholastic standing may also earn a blanket award. The major activity sponsored by the L Club was the dance after the Calumet Conference championship football game. “L” Club officers: Phil Smock, treasurer; Joe Hile, president; Benny Men tink, secretary; Tom Keithley, vice-president.

Editor Debbie Sharkey readies another issue of the Lowellette for press. Lowellette The Lowellette, “The voice of Lowell High School,” acquired a new look this year. In January new custom- made heads were innovated to provide a different out¬ look toward school news. Editor Debbie Sharkey’s staff worked long, hard hours to produce bi-weekly publi¬ cations. Regular Lowellette features included sports page, sports spot, Senior spot, club and organization news.

The 1968-1969 Scribblings (sponsored by Mrs. Nichols) was organized into a successful folio of contemporary work by the staff. Copies were then circulated throughout the school and community in an effort to promote recognition of our L.H.S. literary talent. Lowellette Typists FIRST ROW Seated: C. Hussey, M. Howard, P.

Publications Photographers This character portrait of the photography staff is not necessarily what they always did (sometimes, maybe). Their work in taking pic¬ tures for both the Lowellette and Lowellian was a valuable aid to both editors, especially in times of need. Whenever a picture was needed, or even filler material, the boys in the darkroom always came up with something. It isn’t easy to take good pictures, but our photography staff has come through with some pretty good shots of the active LHS student body. They are (clockwise from top left): L. Bracey, G. Wal¬ ters, R. Brown, M. Cook, K. Molchan, D. Salmon, M. Fetsch, K. Nichols, J. Alkire. 87 While hurrying down the hallway, an L.H.S. student can observe many types of students: Some have stopped briefly to chatter about Friday night’s game. Others are seriously discussing a math problem, while some casually walk to their next class. These students vary in many ways. They look differently, act differently, and basically they are different—for each student is an individual personality. Each of these students is a very important personality that composes part of the great variety of students who attend L.H.S. Teaching this variety of students is a variety of teachers. Each teacher is also a personality in his own right. These many personalities make Lowell High an interesting mixture of life and laughter in ’69. Personalities ’69 89 Administration Mr. James Elbert, principal of Lowell High School and his assistant principal, Mr. Jack Hobbs, were kept busy this year planning and preparing for the new high school. Tours were led through the new building, lectures were given to interested parents, and underclassmen were counseled by Mr. Elbert, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Sturm. Although the administration spent a great deal of time working with the new school plans, they spent an equal amount of time keeping the present Lowell High School intact. Many problems arose dur¬ ing the year, such as the lack of a bell system, but the hard work and persistence of Mr. Elbert and Mr. Hobbs kept the school functioning smoothly.

Schools cooperat¬ ing with the program are Oak Hill Elementary, Lowell Junior High, Lake Prairie Elementary, and St. Edward’s Schools. A few students helped high school teachers. Each student chose to work in the area he was particularly interested in. Some of the areas were art, history, physical educa¬ tion, Spanish, French, kindergarten, elementary grades, speech and hearing therapy, and special education. This year set a precedent in that grades and full credits were given to all students participating in the program. FIRST ROW: A. Van Nada, L. Hale. A. Dougherty, T. Selvidge. L. McLellan. C.
