A new building and a new concept allowed the student, as an individual, to seek under¬ standing and to find a place for himself. Through this search many students were able to develop varied interests, thereby discovering their true poten¬ tials. Identities Through Responsibilities Independence was stressed this year and students were given the responsibility of utilizing their time. Modular scheduling enabled the student to spend more time in his chosen field and gave him a greater chance to expand his interests in other areas of education. 7 L.H.S. Students Discover the Value of Time L.H.S. students, with all the freedom and respon¬ sibility granted to them during the 1969-70 school year, truly discovered the value of time. Those students who had difficulty budgeting their time between study mods and recreation mods were given sentences in Stalag “38 . An average school day included a time for in-class study ... a time for vocational training ... a time for independent study ... ... It wasn ' t all work and no play!! (Mark Zatorskl and Abby Alt dramatize a scene from Flowers for Algernon.) This year Lowell High School became one of the two high schools in Indiana to offer Jun¬ ior Air Force ROTC. The AFROTC color guard was on hand to present the colors at all major athletic events. Identities Through Participation 15 FIRST ROW: Ass t. Coach Lemond. J. Walker, R. Hile, T. Mitchell, R.

Palacz. M. Sharkey. The big difference between this year ' s and last year’s records was injuries. Senior End Otis Kiethley suffered a broken leg early in the sea¬ son, while Alkire, Walker, and Roberts also were on the disabled list at one time or an¬ other. Junior, Frank Mentink and Senior, Don Alkire were selected all conference. Highlights of this year were a 19—13 victory over the Bulldogs of Crown Point, and a 12—0 homecoming victory over the Griffith Panthers. The Devils also suffered a heartbreaking 7—0 loss to Merriville. The outlook is promising for next year with junior standouts Kevin Molchan, Mike Cook, Bob Palacz, and Doug Hoffman, and sopho¬ more Charlie Drewery returning to form the nucleus of next year’s team.

Exciting Grid-Iron Action 1969-70 Homecoming Queen Miss Sandy Sirois Homecoming was one of the few basic traditions which re¬ mained unchanged by the transition of the student body to the new school. Octo¬ ber 10 came quickly and everyone rushed about mak¬ ing the plans and decisions which were to pay off in the end. The majority of this year’s homecoming activities re¬ tained the sentimental value of being held at the old Lowell High School. The parade, bon¬ fire, game and dance re¬ mained the same as always because of the unfinished facilities at the new school. This year for the first time the student body also chose a Homecoming King. Their choice, Don Alkire, was hon¬ ored at a special “powder puff” football game following the bonfire on Thursday night. Damp weather didn ' t dampen Lowell’s spirit as they wit¬ nessed the crowning of Queen Sandy Sirois by in¬ jured devil Al Keithly during the halftime show of the big game. The boys came through to add a perfect ending to a per¬ fect week with a thrilling vic¬ tory over the Griffith Panthers. Left: Queen Sandy Sirois. Below: Senior members of the Homecoming Court.

Devils Again Capture First Place at North Newton Invitational For the fourth consecutive year, the Cross-Country team, under the valuable direction of Coach Ford, finished the season with a winning record. Phil Smock, Hoppy Cunningham, and Jack Little carried a distinction of being four-year lettermen. In Coach Ford’s last season as the coach, the team outran fifteen others in the North Newton Invitational to capture first place. This was North Newton’s second annual invitational and Lowell has taken first place both years. Next year the duties of head coach will be taken over by Coach Ouwenga, and another win¬ ning season is expected. Cross-country captain Cary Schuy¬ ler sums up the season at the Fall Sports Banquet.

Junior members of the Varsity squad Debbie Steuer and Kathy Weaver assisted in this effort, bringing spir¬ it to a record high during Sectional Spirit Week. Junior Alternate Susie Echterling replaced Jane Hile in the line-up after Jane ' s mid-term grad¬ uation.

Left to right: Joann Hoffman, Barb Schock and Pam Niemeyer, The 1969-70 Junior Varsity Cheerleaders were Patty Vandercar, Joann Hoffman, Pam Niemeyer and Barb Schock. They repre¬ sented Lowell’s J.V. athletes on the field and in the classroom. Due to their fine leadership the Sophomore class developed an enthus¬ iastic spirit and gained the respect of the student body as a whole. Freshman Cheerleaders from Top to Bottom: Debbie Hennin, Susie McLellan and Mary Yankauskus. Debbie Hennin, Susie McLellan and Mary Yankauskas represented the class of ’73 as Freshman cheerleaders this year. They led cheers at both football and basketball games and were permanent members of the Pep Block during Varsity and Junior Varsity events. Devil Spirit “Flowers for Algernon’’ Christens Little Theater The first production in the new Lowell High Theatre proved to be a challenge to the ac¬ tors in more ways than one. Not only was it a new experience to be acting in-the-round, but the play was something never tackled by this school. The play was “Flowers for Algernon,” a serious story of a poor re¬ tarded man named Charlie who was given an operation to enable him to become a genius. Unfortunately Charlie found he couldn’t cope with his new found intelligence and tried to escape humanity by keeping to himself. In the end he found his intelligence wouldn ' t last and he ended up being the moron he had been. The members of the cast gave an excellent and very realistic performance. A better play could not have been chosen for christening of the Little Theatre. Mark Zatorski and Abby Alt star in Flowers for Algernon.” Well Doctors, whats the verdict? Jeff Belstra, Cyndi Clark and Dave Herz were the members of the lighting crew who were responsible for the special effects which added to the performance. Dave Swider as Charlie ' s father. Karen Prendergast Lowell’s Junior Miss 1970 Lowell ' s annual Jaycee Junior Miss Pageant was held November twenty-sixth in the little theatre”. Participating this year were Jane Armstrong. Sandi Corns, Judy Hoover, Nancy Mika, Karen Prendergast, Patti Roberts, and Linda Westerfield. The girls were judged in five areas; (1) talent, (2) poise and appear¬ ance, (3) physical fitness, (4) judge’s con¬ ference, and (5) scholastic achievement. This year ' s pageant contained a variety of talent. Jane Armstrong performed a beauti¬ ful and original ballet. Sandi Corns gave her comic adaptation of the stripper. Judy Hoover sang a medley of songs from West Side Story”. Nancy Mika’s talent was a comedy skit entitled How to Make a Friend”. Karen Prendergast became a chimney sweep and sang of her dream in “Oh, To Be a Movie Star . Patti Roberts did a romantic skit en¬ titled It Was a Very Good Year”. The seventh contestant, Linda Westerfield, gave a reading of the poem The Cottage”, written by Brian Murrian. The talent award went to Patti Roberts and Karen Prendergast received the prized “Miss Congeniality award. The highlight of the evening was the crown¬ ing of Patti Roberts as the 1970 Lowell Junior Miss. Karen Prendergast was named first runner-up. Later in the year Patti gave up her title to Karen who became the new Junior Miss. Karen went on to participate in the state pageant where she met many new friends from all over Indiana. Varsity Basketball C. Shutz, G. Zak, B. Gunn, D. Roberts, R. Purkey, J. Stephens, J. Walker, D. Alkire, T. Hoffman, K. Reed, G. McLean. Managers, The statistics can’t tell the whole basketball story this year. Coach Ford sums up the season this way, “Overall our basketball season was a suc¬ cess. Anytime a team in the Calumet area can have a .500 season it has to be considered suc¬ cessful. The number of times Lowell has done this in the past certainly has not been many. It also was probably one of the few times the Red Devils had been favored to win the sectional tourney. If we would have gotten rolling sooner we would have won . . . However, the team didn’t reach the goals it had set for itself. They had had more successful seasons as underclassmen. Tom Hoffman was a member of the Sectional and Conference Championship ball team of 1967-68. Height was definitely against the team this year. Key injuries and loss of personnel such as Al Keithley could have provided much of the trouble. . . . But good overall team play and hustle many times won for us this year. We provided Hebron’s only regular season loss by this. As in the past three years, all five of our starters averaged in double figures. The boys certainly weren’t a selfish group and the desire to win was ever pres¬ ent. As a whole group, they were one of the hard¬ est working teams I have ever had.” R. Armstrong and D.

Basketball This year our Junior Varsity ball team was made up essentially of sophomores with only two juniors on the squad. The team showed a lot of potential from the start of the season with plenty of height and good guards. The J.V. ' s finished up their season winning four games in a row to give them ten wins and eight losses. The sophomore power on this team gives one reason to look forward to a very successful future. 36 Junior Varsity JV BASKETBALL RECORD 10- -8 Rensselaer 47 Lowell 44 Lowell 49 Griffith 42 Hebron 58 Lowell 54 Lowell 37 Merriville 32 Lowell 46 Hanover Central 35 Crown Point 66 Lowell 37 South Newton 44 Lowell 24 Lowell 47 East Gary 31 Lowell 58 North Newton 35 Portage 63 Lowell 47 Highland 73 Lowell 39 Lowell 56 River Forest 54 Munster 46 Lowell 37 Calumet 61 Lowell 54 Lowell 61 Gary Wirt 52 Lowell 54 Lake Central 49 Lowell 43 Chesterton 37 Lowell 54 Whiting 47 Freshman Basketball After winning the two openers against Val¬ paraiso and Hanover it looked like the fresh¬ men were going to have a good season.

Once again the varsity wrestling team looked good at the start of the season, but being ham¬ pered by the loss of seven senior lettermen, the team struggled through the season with inexperi¬ enced underclassmen. Captain Dan Ping headed the injury list. Joining his were seniors Dominic Pancini, Tom Mitchell, and John Flatt, and junior letterman Doug Hoff¬ man. Dan Steuer, Phil Smock, and Bob Gunning had to quit because of outside jobs. Although seriously hampered by these losses, the underclassmen did a commendable job and dis¬ played promise for the future. The spotlight of the season was on John Sharkey, who won seventeen matches in a row. He was se¬ lected for All-Calumet Conference and gained the title of sectional champion. 38 A Devil Grappler gains two. Matmen Grapple Their Way to Victory Left: Charlie Drewery works for position.

This year’s JV Wrestling team had a very trying season. Much of this was due to key injuries up at the varsity level. When a varsity member was injured, a JV wrestler had to be ready to fill in. Because of these injuries, a number of JV men got the chance to wrestle at the varsity level. The JV record of 0—10 is not a true picture of the individuals on the squad. Chuck McDaniels, Mike Pancini, Frank Ogborn, and Paul Thomas are four individuals that led this years team scoring. The coaching staff feels that these men along with the other members of the team show a great deal of promise and will help the Lowell High School wrestling team in the future. Coach Wornhoff fires the guys up for action.

Along with the usual round of athletic activities of the winter season a new sport arose which caught the curi¬ osity and eventual participation of many students. This sport was swimming. Although the season record, which was 0—9, does not look good at first glance, much experience was gained and many improvements were made by the participants. Coach Gary Druckemiller took thirty inexperienced stu¬ dents and trained them to be a team of swimmers. In the years to come, because of the vast number of under¬ classmen who are now on the team, Lowell will pose a threat to any other swim team in this area. This year’s outstanding swimmers were Craig Wilson and Tom Rokus. Dave Chism was team captain. SITTING: R. Smith. A. Roberts. J. Alkire, M. Clark, J. Gunning, G. Galbraith, P. Smith. D. Leubke, M.

It takes time and hard work to develop the muscles and balance needed to excel in gymnastics, as it is basically a muscle sport. The team members had to learn the effective use of muscles which most of us aren ' t even aware that we have. They must be able to lift and balance their own weight in many different positions. Gymnastics is one of the few sports which is truly individual. The gymnast must perform by himself in total quiet before maybe two hundred or more people. This year the team showed a lot of improvement as they progressed to more difficult stunts, but there is still much work to be done. Mr. Sullivan feels that a winning attitude is very important to this team’s success, and he would like to see more of it this year. FIRST ROW: C. Early, G. Walters, R. Midkiff. M. Peterson, S.

In a two- way meet with Portage, Lowell came in second. In a four-way meet with East Gary, Merriville, Grif¬ fith, and Portage we came in third. Eight girls entered the compulsory district meet in which Betsy Small placed sixth on the horse. Three girls entered the optional district meet in which Susie McLellan placed second on the uneven bars. She went on to state where she received third place. At the end of the season the team was eighth out of the twelve schools participating in our district. This year our team was small and inexperienced, but next year with added members and one years experience behind them the team expects a win¬ ning record. 43 The Three One-Act Plays LHS Choir Presents . . . The choir’s 1970 musical, “The Sound of Music,” was a bigger success than any other choral pro¬ duction of the past years. The musical had been scheduled for two nights of presentation, but due to a sellout in the advance sale of tickets and much public interest the musica l was presented on three different nights. The musical was under the direction of Mr. Frederick, who was assisted by student directors Mary Louise Faverty and Kent Johnson. Kent was also the choreographer. The accompanists were Linda Peterson on the piano and Virginia Van Keppel on the organ. Percussion was handled by Mike Fetsch and Bob Gunning. The von Trapp family.

This season’s record does not show the amount of work and effort which the team invested to better their game. This year the team won three, lost fifteen, and tied two games. With all of this year’s pitchers returning next year and a JV record this year of 5—0, we can look forward to the 1971 season. FIRST ROW; F. Ogborn, J. Stephens, D. Gwyne, R. Kenney, S.

The 1970 track season was highly successful, particularly in view of the outstanding and record-breaking individual per¬ formance. Jack Little and Jim Walker gained state recognition by qualifying for the State Finals. Jack finished sixth in the half- mile and Jim finished sixth in his heat of the 100 yard dash. No less than seven school records were tied or broken this season. Jim Walker equaled his :10 flat time in the 100 and set a new 220 standard in :22.3: Jack Little reduced his 880 time to a highly respectable 1:56.8 clocking: Tom McHugh whipped through the 120 yard high hurdles in :15.2; Sopho¬ more Bob Little accounted for two records as he broke his brother Joe’s record with a clocking of 5:32.1 and also set a new mark in the two-mile in 10:08: Ralph Midkiff broke the pole vault record as a sophomore, clearing 11 ' 92. As the team, the Red Devils in dual meet competition won five, lost three, and tied one. They also finished second in the six-team Griffith relays and the eight-team South Newton relays. Team captains for the 1970 season were Jack Little and Jim Walker. Jim was also the leading point winner for the season. 53 State Qualifiers Higher Goals Reached JACK LITTLE 880 yard run JIM WALKER 100 yard dash Queen Helen Braden Reigns Over 1970 Mother’s Tea “Three Coins in a Fountain” was the theme as well as the theme song of this year ' s Mother’s Tea. Held in the theater-in-the-round, the tea was of an intimate atmosphere incomparable to previous years. Teresa Williams. Home Ec Club president, addressed the wel¬ coming speech to guests and Mrs. Wil¬ bur Halfman responded with a warm thank-you speech. Entertainment was provided by Virginia VanKeppel as organist, Jane Armstrong’s ballet, the choir ' s Double Quartet, a musical solo by Ritchie Buchmeir, and Mary Fav- erty’s solo, an adaptation of the theme song. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Helen Braden as Lowell ' s 1970 May Queen by flower girl, Missy Darner. A style show in which Home Ec students modeled their own clothing creations was then held in honor of the Queen. Miss Smith and Mrs. Bailey were then presented with spring bouquets to express the girls ' gratitude. After the program everyone enjoyed the traditional cookies and punch in the North Commons. 1970 May Court and escorts: Doug Roberts and Marilyn Shipley, Tom Mitchell and Sandy Sirois, flower girl Missy Darner, Queen Helen Braden and Phil Smock, Karen Prendergast and John Sharkey, and Judy Hoover and Pat Mikels. 56 ■I (i Activities Student Council FIRST ROW: Sandi Corns.

The National Honor Society took the responsibility of touring many groups of visitors who wished to see our new school this year. New members were in¬ ducted into the Honor Society in the spring. N.H.S. members are chosen on a scholastic and teacher- approved basis. The motto of the club, to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in all.stu¬ dents, was kept in mind by this year’s members.

Uniformly dressed in white blouses and the black knit vests which were purchased by the club, the members filled the sports seasons with enthu¬ siasm and spirit. A special addition was made to the pep block with the organization of a boys cheer section which proved itself at the Benton Central Sectionals.

To be considered for mem¬ bership, one must be of good schol¬ astic standing as well as a proficient athlete. L sweaters are awarded to the athlete when he first letters in a sport. The L jacket is earned by yearly participation in two or more sports and by maintaining a good scholas¬ tic rating. The most coveted honor desired by all lettermen is the L blan¬ ket, which is awarded to outstanding senior athletes on Honors Night. L Club FIRST ROW: C. Schuyler. D. Pancini, F. Stuhlmacher, D.

Under the direction of Mr. Huber, they were also participants in the annual NISBOVA Marching Band Contest in Colum¬ bia City, from which they brought back a second place trophy. The concert band pre¬ sented Musical Moods, the spring and Christ¬ mas concerts, and played for the Dedication ceremonies. Stage Band Pep Band Woodwinds L.H.S. Choir The choir became an essential working part in the body of our school system. It was active in many important school events, lifting its voice at the school dedication this year and traditionally honor¬ ing the Baccalaureate ceremony in song. The choir as a whole and several ensembles—The Senior Quintet, The Double Quartet, and others—working with the band gave a successful Christmas program. The choir was successful in the annual Solo and Ensemble Contest, their talented representatives returning with medals, and in the All-State Choir Contest. The Resselaer Choral Festival proved to be a rewarding experience which the choir members will never forget. In the Spring came the musical, The Sound of Music. The Lowell High Choir can look back proudly at its year’s accomplishments. Officers: Reporter, Richie Buchmeier; Secretary, Judy Hoover; Vice-President.

We are the first to arrive at the school to begin the new year. A day or two before the students come to school for the first day, the teachers meet at the building to start the new year, the exhaustion of last year forgotten in the enthusi¬ asm for the opening of another, hopefully better, school year. We leave our summer schools and summer jobs and vaca¬ tions to meet and plan for another long, event-filled season. But this year there was something dif¬ ferent, something new, something exciting about the opening of school. The new high school was ready, finished. There would be air conditioning for those hot September days; there would be plenty of space to do everything we had ever dreamed of in the class¬ room; there would be a modular schedule to make education more flexible; there would be more student freedom; there would be beauty; there would be new pro¬ grams; and there would be a new deal all the way around. All of the time spent last year planning new programs and phi¬ losophies would be cul¬ minated in an educational program that would sure¬ ly be the best in the coun¬ try. Of course, we expected problems. After all, how could we expect the students to be on Vestal Bailey, Home Economics Omer Beeching, Biology Norbert Blanchard.

There were just too many cir¬ cles in the building; everything looked the same, but soon the teach¬ er ' s lounge was located and served as a focal point. Soon most of us could find our way to our “room” and back without our maps. Another dis¬ tressing problem con¬ fronted us at that time —we found that we could not speak the same lang¬ uage as the computer, and only Mr. Hobbs’ tut¬ oring enabled us to read the modular schedule. Other distressing facts soon became apparent. The new school was not at all ready—the air con¬ ditioning did not work and there were no win¬ dows to open; the new gymnasium was an empty shell of concrete and stone; only part of the carpet was laid, making many areas completely useless; the administra¬ tive offices upstairs con¬ sisted of two tables and some chairs borrowed from the commons; there was no library (how could we run an innova- tional program without a library?); all of our books and materials were scat¬ tered hither and yon throughout the school and were as yet un¬ packed; but worst of all, the coke machine in the lounge did not work.

English was a trying period, what with students arriving the next day for orienta¬ tion. There was too much to do in too short a time. But the work got done and in time and without too much strain, for Mr. Elbert and Mr. Hobbs had forseen the problem and allowed for an easy first week in order to keep the work load at a minimum. So the faculty ' s school year began amongst carpet layers, boxes, and empty spaces, and everyone was in a good mood, for there was only one way for things to go —up. And things did look up before long. We found that the students did not have as much trouble as we thought they would, and the orientation ses¬ sions went very well. Things began pretty smoothly despite all the little inconveniences. The physical education classes went outside for a while, even though they could not do too much because of the lack of shower facilities. They did get in a lot of nature walks. It was a bit awk¬ ward giving lectures in the south commons, mainly because there were a couple of gym classes meeting there at the same time, but when the lecture halls were finished it was worth the wait—they were beauti¬ ful.

Mr. Wilson felt that he must be teaching in the middle of a busy air¬ port. The talk area was moved to the east com¬ mons, but it didn ' t help much. Classes got started on time, despite it all, and we found that we could teach around the workers. The modular schedule was not quite ready, and after a few days, our class lists looked curiously like pieces of scratch paper. Yet we survived it all, helping each other and getting help from the bal¬ cony. And the art of edu¬ cation moved forward at an ever increasing pace. Things got better with each passing day after we once became accus¬ tomed to the easy pace of the work schedule (not ours, the workmen’s); we found out that the job of putting together a four and a half million dollar building was as tough as teaching English —things were always be¬ hind schedule. But soon the lecture halls were finished, the carpet layed, the communica¬ tions systems installed, the heating turned on, the tones toned, the li¬ brary arrived and was put together, and the Coke machine in the lounge still did not work. And before we noticed, the carpet layers were gone and the little thea- Michael Lemmond. Social Studies 89 David Hunt, English William Kalbac. Industri al Arts James Little, Agriculture Col.

The major work was on the gym and swimming pool where anyone could go during the day to have his eardrums shattered by the exploding of the gizmos that kept the floor in place and the swim¬ ming pool leaked and had frogs. But soon these too were finished and we were faced with a com¬ plete building, free from major complaints and ready to function as a whole school. And pro¬ grams were started, and programs that had al¬ ready started improved. For the faculty, the new programs and opportun¬ ities to try out new things had started last year in department meetings, school visitations, and in-service days. We planned and plotted and lay awake nights wonder¬ ing if we would ever be ready to enter the field of educational leader¬ ship. But a program was produced and it worked, at least fairly well. Mr. Grabill opened up his chemistry labs to un¬ scheduled chem students and, so far, nothing has been blown up. Mr. Le- mond and Mr. Wornhoff began conceptual teach¬ ing in U.S. history and, so far, nothing has been blown up. Mr. Drucke- miller was teaching in¬ ductively. Mr. Siatta told his students about Romu- Michael Milakovic. Industrial Arts Hazel Nichols, English Lawrence Ouwenga. Math and Physics 90 Keith McCloud, English Lee Perry, Guidance Armand Reyes, Spanish lus and Remus (it ' s as old as the hills). Mr. Skinner and Mrs. Huber started continual progress in al¬ gebra with the aid of programmed material. Mr. McCloud began a reading program. Mrs. Foss and Mr. Hunt experimented with independent study. And the physical educa¬ tion department swam, played basketball, batted a volleyball, played hock¬ ey, tramped on a trampo¬ line, and tumbled—all at the same time. It was glorious, and, except for the noise, very enjoyable. Coach Klein was winning again, Coach Ford was hustling again, and Coach Siatta was “wrastling” again. There were new sports to provide a better program in athletics: Mr. Druckemiller’s swimming team did well with little experience, and Mr. Sul¬ livan’s gymnastics team showed well. More and more extra curricular activities were going strong. The Pep Club, under Mrs. Reyes, was never louder or prettier. The Spanish Club grew. Mr. Kalbac started the Chess Club. Mr. Lemond listened while the Stu¬ dent Council functioned better than ever, making good recommendations to the administration in an attempt to solve some of the school’s problems. Mr. Hunt’s yearbook staff still could not get a dead¬ line in on time. But the newspaper became, un¬ der Mr. McCloud, a forum Robert Ray, Art Nancy Reyes, Business Henry Sichterman, Air Force ROTC 91 Leonard Siatta. Social Studies John Skinner. Mathematics Wilma Smith, Home Economics for students and teach¬ ers alike to express their views on the new school and its programs. So the year brought many new things to faculty and stu¬ dents alike, but there were old things too and they became new as the year wore on and we learned more and more about how to use the building and its many ad¬ vantages. There were, of course, disadvantages too, but we learned to live with them, and some¬ times even turn them to our advantage. And so it was during the school year 1969-1970. It was a year of great trial and test for every¬ one, from the school board to the student. It was a year of change and innovation, anger and happiness. It was the year of the new school when everyone had ex¬ periences unique to a new school. Both stu¬ dents and teachers alike had to get used to visitors walking around the build¬ ing, some smiling and polite, others frowning and asking the wrong questions. We had to get used to being on display and at first it was a bit discomforting to be do¬ ing something in class that didn’t seem at all innovational while visit¬ ors eyed the class with suspicion. But that soon ended as we discovered that what we considered commonplace was amaz¬ ing to those who came to Philip Smith, Science Mike Sullivan, Physical Education Susan Tabatsko. Social Studies 92 Geraldine Thompson, Library Sue Thompson, Physical Education Loranna Walton, French see us. So it was the year of the visitor; it was also the year of responsibility for both student and teacher. The student found that the new school and its new pro¬ grams forced the stu¬ dent to make an adjust¬ ment. He could no longer count on his teacher to spoon feed him or give him study time in class. There was no time for this as each class met for shorter periods of time. The teacher was using it all and even requiring a little extra in some cases. But the greatest respons¬ ibility was still on the fac¬ ulty. No longer was there the excuse of no space or time or facility. We had to use the new building. We had a philosophy in front of us—-to provide each student with the best possible education suited to his individual needs. And we have tried. We have spent sleepless nights and been angry and confused and thought of giving it up. But we haven’t. We have stayed and tried and suc¬ ceeded and failed. We will leave last in June.

Held at the V.F.W., the prom was beautifully decorated in shades of yellow to depict an 1890 spring. Couples danced to the music of the Johnny Gene Quartet and particularly en¬ joyed the theme song, “Cherish.” Immediately following the Grand March, prom-goers gath¬ ered to witness the coronation of 1970 prom royalty. Queen Judy Hoover was crowned and presented with roses by junior class president Dave Swider and junior class secretary Luan Perzo crowned King Pat Mikels. The Post-prom Party was at Lake Prairie School, where prom-goers danced until dawn. 140 1970 Prom Court: Cary Schuyler and Jane Lump.

This change allowed the program to be open to all parents and other interested persons of the com¬ munity. It also prevented some Seniors from being able to attend. But on the whole the event was a tremendous success. Dozens of happy Seniors carted home truck-loads of awards to create a feeling of accomplish¬ ment which was climaxed at graduation.

They will study government through first¬ hand experiences. Luan and Debbie will participate in mock elections and help to set up and run an imaginary government. The awards were presented at Honors Night by Mrs. John Hepp. Sherry Snell and Bonnie Wells were chosen as alternates. Hoosier Boy’s State delegates for 1970 were Rick Strickland and Jim Stuart. The boys were chosen to attend the 1970 Session of Boy’s State during the week of June 6 thru June 13. Their study of government is spon¬ sored by Lowell Post 101 of the American Legion. Alternate delegates named were Kevin Molchan and Mark Zatorski. 146 Sunday, May 31, 1970 Patricia Ruley and Marlyn Shipley Senior Class Presi¬ dent and Vice-President lead the class to their places for the impressive ceremony. (Make sure there ' s a chair behind you) For the Seniors of 1970, Graduation was a mixture of tra¬ dition and innovation. The first graduating class of the New Lowell High School celebrated their accomplishment in the modern gymnasium which was only a dream when they began as freshmen. At 2:00 on Sunday afternoon the Seniors marched to the tune of the traditional Onward Christian Soldiers” to begin Baccalaureate. After the invocation by Reverend Matthew Spebar, the choir, under the direction of Mr. Frederick, sang High Upon the Mountain” and “Thanks be to God”. Be Wise—Build on Rock was the advice of Reverend Luther Russet in his address to the graduates. The ceremony ended with a Benediction by Reverand Spebar and the Seniors returned home—or to one of the many “open houses —to await the big event at 8:00. Graduation . . . Graduation . . . Grac Evening came and once again the graduates formed a pro¬ cession. “Pomp and Circumstance” set the pace, but there was little evidence of either. After an invocation by Mr. Kenneth D. Thomas, the graduates expressed themselves through their four representative speakers. Revolution ' ' by Byron Schilling, “The Road Ahead” by Judith Hoover, “The Educational System” by Hubert Poppe, and Reminiscing” by Thomas Hoffman aroused familiar feelings. The class of 1970, for the last time stood as a class and was pre¬ sented to the audience by Mr. Elbert. One-by-one the happy, sad. tired, scared, relieved graduates went forth to receive that little piece of paper for which they had worked so hard, their diploma, a ticket to adventure, a certificate saying that school days were past and now they were ready for whatever the future would hold. The tassels were moved from left to right, the rings were turned around and the graduates emerged into the unknown, to push off into the mystery and excitement of tomorrow. 148 ation . .
