The offices of the Assistant Principal and the Dean of Students had two new in¬ habitants this year, Thomas Grabill and Gary Drukemiller, respectively. They, along with our Principal, Mr. James El¬ bert, constitute the Big Three of Low¬ ell High School. The roles of our administrators vary from assigning stu¬ dents to three days in directed study, to solving scheduling problems, to explain¬ ing our unique educational philosophy across the nation. Mr. Elbert not only attempts to keep Lowell High functioning at its best, but also attemps to explain our educational system to many hundreds of visitors. When Mr. Elbert has nothing better to do, one may find him sitting in on classes, listening to complaining stu¬ dents, or even leading cheers in a pep session. Through the nice work of a computer, a class could range in size from one stu¬ dent to thrity students. Mr. Grabill ' s most time consuming job was that of straightening out all such problems. Mr. Drukemiller serves as disciplinarian, and mediator between student, teacher, and administration. The Dean ' s search for the best solution to problems has won him a rewarding reputation for fairness. The Big Three are alive and found in Lowell High School. I AM ACADEMIC 21 social studies SITTING. L. to R.: Randal Deweese, James Novosel, John McHugh, James Hurst, William Wornoff. STANDINC. Michael Skvara, Henry Sichterman. The Social Studies Department for the 1970-71 year was again under the di¬ rection of the Dean of Students, Mr. Drukemiller. Under his capable direc¬ tion the department has adjusted itself both to the facility known as Lowell High School, and to the educational philosophy which it represents. Student oriented learning, in the form of class room discussion, has become a more integral part of the Social Studies De¬ partment than any other department in the entire school. The year also wit¬ nessed many new faces in the depart¬ mental faculty, and the addition of two new courses: Psychology II and Current Events. The desire for relevancy kept the department teachers constantly questioning, revising, and reorganizing their aims and objectives. This constant revision and questioning brought about new experiences for the students, such as: the Student Political Convention and the Student Congress. Air Force Jr. ROTC, in its second year at Lowell High School, has brought an ad¬ ded dimension to the Social Studies De¬ partment and to school activities as a whole. The course attempts to relate to the student knowledge of the United States Air Force and the customs of the military service. 22 1 AM ACADEMIC SITTINC, L. to R.: Keith McCloud, Thomas Wilson, Barbara Foss, Hazel Nichols, Vivian Hile. STANDING, David Hunt, James Emmhizer, and Ruth Keithley. The English Department is enjoying its first year of togetherness in many years. They are all scheduled into the area around the English Resource Cen¬ ter, and this has contributed to a more effective program. One of the newest innovations in the department has been the use of programmed grammar at freshman, sophomore, and junior levels that has enabled students to learn fun¬ damentals of grammar at their own speed. Visitors pausing to listen at vari¬ ous classes have heard active discus¬ sions being led by students themselves on Billy Budd, The Scarlet Letter, Mar¬ tian Chronicles, Romeo and uliet, Sid- dhartha, The Pearl, Canterbury Tales, and many other classic and contempo¬ rary works. Reaction to the classes by the students themselves have ranged from I hate English to English is my favorite class . All in all, the English Dept, has had great success with their new program. I AM ACADEMIC 23 science math L. to R.: Michael Hynes, Lawrence Ouwenga, Jack Rees, William Weiand, Omer Beeching, and Jack Ford The Science and Math Department is a unit in name only as both groups oper¬ ate autonomously under Mr. Grabill. The science division is one of the stabl¬ est groups in the school, moving steadily forward toward new goals while avoiding the pitfalls of rapid change. Already, the open lab concept is an integral part of the science cur¬ riculum and, with the adoption of new texts this year, more is being done with process oriented and group discovery method. In keeping with the ideals of the inductive method, our resident scientists emphasize depth rather than breadth in curriculum planning. In con¬ trast to science ' s resolute growth, the Math Department has attempted sev¬ eral daring programs in an attempt to provide our math students with the best possible program. Because of the in¬ dividualistic nature of the math person¬ nel, the innovations of the Math Department have been varied and inter¬ esting. As one might predict, with this type of highly experimental program, everything has not been peaches and cream; there have been some failures along with the triumphs. The math peo¬ ple are now beginning to investigate the fields of practical mathematics and sta¬ tistics and probabilities with an eye to providing for the heeds of more stu¬ dents at more levels of interest and abil¬ ity. 24 1 AM ACADEMIC guidance L. R.: Elaine Bever, Mr. Earnest, Lee Perry, and Arline Vandermark. A not uncommon occurance during the school day is the sight of an obviously disturbed student rushing up the south stairs, past the administrative offices, and into the guidance office, for it is here that students take their problems. The personnel in this office is trained to handle every sort of perplexity from cross sectioning, to dropping out, to personal problems, to the tears of a young lady. The Guidance Department is the haven of the worried and dis¬ traught. It is the center of schedule con¬ flicts; it is a sounding board for students who have had it with a teacher. Here there is sympathy and understanding and a solution. But the guidance office is much more than the crying towel of the school; it handles testing and record keeping for the staff. It is in this small office that teachers may go to find out more about the students. Discussion of problems by counselors and teachers leads many times to a better classroom situation for both the teacher and the student. It is through the guidance pro¬ gram also that students with special needs and abilities may find suitable programs and opportunities through special education programs and infor¬ mation on post-high school education. The guidance office, then, is the par¬ ent of the student services. I AM ACADEMIC 2S foreign language This year, the foreign language depart¬ ment, now accustomed to the new facilities, is improving on past teaching methods. Many additions and correc¬ tions have taken place, and an improve¬ ment in the department is obvious. Laurie Guillon, a French girl who has lived in the United States since she was age nine, joined the French IV class for the second semester. Mrs. Claudine Paluzzi, the artist in residence, demon¬ strated in class, free-form plaster of paris sculpture, while Mrs. Walton gave in¬ structions in French. The Spanish, French, and Latin classes progress through the years at the follow¬ ing rate: Levil I—learning basic funda¬ mentals, Level II—improving on what was learned in Level I, Level III—read¬ ing stories, and Level IV—independent study and advanced reading. In the fu¬ ture years of language study, the student will certainly benefit from the detailed instruction they have received this year. 26 1 AM ACADEMIC fine arts L. to R.: lames Crane, Wendall Frederick, Robert Ray, and Claudine Paluzzi. Expressing one ' s individuality is one of the most important achievements of the Fine Arts Department. A student is able to find the area in which he is most in¬ terested and talented in through the fine art ' s courses that are offered. The choir, band, and art classes ' main objective is to develop an appreciation of fine arts in each individual student. This year Low¬ ell High School had the privilege of be¬ ing one of two schools in the state to have an artist-in-residence. The art stu¬ dents had the opportunity of observing the artist, Mrs. Claudine Paluzzi, at work in the art room. The needs of each student in art are met through open labs, sketchbook assignments, or class pro¬ jects. The choir and band keep them¬ selves busy with such extracurricular activities as school musicals and con¬ certs. The band, and our new band di¬ rector, Mr. Crane, are to be commended on their fine job this past year. Under Mr. Crane ' s direction many students have placed very well in the many band contests that have been en¬ tered. The personal pride and en¬ thusiasm that the Fine Art ' s Department develops in the student prepares him for entrance into the adult world. I AM ACADEMIC 27 business L. to R.: Marva Barrett, Robert Miller, George Ham, and Nancy Reyes. has witnessed the tremendous value of this on-the-job course as the girls trained in Lowell High School ' s Inten¬ sive Lab are getting well-paying jobs as secretaries. Team teaching allows the business department to teach more peo¬ ple, and recorded lessons allow the teachers to give each student more in¬ dividual help. The office machines course use reproducing machines such as mimeograph, spirit duplication, colla¬ tors, joggers, and other machines used for preparing tests. The Business depart¬ ment is an important part of any high school because it trains students in many of the fundamentals of the busi¬ ness area. 28 1 AM ACADEMIC The Business Department has vastly grown since moving to the new high school. Through the use of many new machines and new teaching methods, the students have been given a better opportunity to learn business courses that will aid them in the business field. The students may take a course such as personal typing in which they learn the fundamentals of typing for their per¬ sonal use, or the students may take a course that will prepare them for a job in the business area. Last year a new concept in teaching was developed in the Business department—the Intensive Lab—which trains girls in actual se¬ cretarial work. This year the department industrial education When Mr. Kalbac was asked about the Industrial Education Department, that he chairmans, he replied; In great con¬ trast to the meager industrial arts facility of yesterday, today, we are equipped and organized with shops that were uniquely planned for Lowell. Each week has shown evidence of new growth and dimension in the program; we are in¬ creasingly more positive that our vision for the future was well founded. Moti¬ vation , which use to be a lecture by the instructor, is now the word for what happens to a student as he begins to recognize the potential of the shop equipment, the staff, and his own inter¬ ests, abilities, and attitudes. The Industrial Education staff has favor¬ ite, and accurate descriptions of our shop program. We believe it to be com¬ prehensive, and we encourage a cross- section of students. We endorse activities that are real; we are not im¬ pressed with pretend kinds of assign¬ ments. We believe in assignments which vary in depth as determined by the student. We make a very conscien¬ tious effort to match the activities of the courses with the personality, interest, and ability of each student. I AM ACADEMIC 29 physical education With the new facilities and the many different areas covered in the physical education program, the student has an excellent opportunity to increase his ability and skill. The course may cover anything from swimming to gymnastics in any given six weeks. The required P.E. classes offer the fresh¬ men and the sophomores a break from the regular school day. Offered again this year, for the interested junior and senior, was the Individual and Dual Sports class. This co-ed course is for the upperclassman who is interested in the many sports activities it has to offer. These classes could be found in a bowl¬ ing alley, ice skating at Evergreen Pond, or outside playing archery. The Physical Education program allows an individual to gain knowledge of the fundamentals of a sport and then through practice, gain skill. Sportman- ship, self-control, co-operation, and leadership are a few attributes hopefully gained through the P.E. program. 30 1 AM ACADEMIC agriculture home economics Voc. Ag.—L. to R.: Robert Horan and James Vocational Agriculture is a course de¬ veloped primarily for the student inter¬ ested in pursuing agriculture as a profession. A four year course is offered which is designed to confront the stu¬ dent with practical farm situations. One of the new projects the Agriculture De¬ partment is undertaking is the construc¬ tion of the greenhouse which is being built and financed by the F.F.A. With the growth of the agriculture facilities, the department is capable of producing individuals who are more skilled in the field of agriculture. The attractiveness of the facilities of the Home Home Economics Department has been a big factor in the increase in enrollment this year. The courses of study included in the Home Economics curriculum are now on a semester basis. With this change, it is hoped that more students will be able to select the subject areas they are most interested in. All students are encouraged to enroll in the depart¬ ment, whether or not they are interested in becoming a homemaker, a teacher, a journalist, an interior decorator or a host of other courses. The Home Economics Department has a course that will bene¬ fit the students in their future endeavors. —L. to R.: Wilma Smith and Vestal D. Bailey.

These people perform many of the roles that our mothers perform throughout the day. The cooks are found either slaving over a hot stove, or serving stu¬ dents in the lunch line. The janitors wage a constant battle against litter and disorder, and are always cleaning and picking up after students. A big Thank You goes out to these individuals for their efforts. Mr. Viers Mrs. Williams JL Mrs. Ott Mr. Massoth Mrs. Hendrikson Mrs. Aim secretaries � � L. to R. Inell Busselberg, Grace Wooldridge, Norma Sark, and Doris Curless. If one should happen to casually wan¬ der upstairs to the mezzanine, whether invited or not, one is sure to come in contact with one or more of the four secretaries which inhabit the area. Two of these secretaries, Mrs. Curless and Mrs. Bisselberg, are found in the main office and attendence office, respec¬ tively. When Mrs. Curless and Mrs. Bis¬ selberg are not listening to complaining students, answering numerous ques¬ tions, or baby-sitting with individuals who, whether they desire or not, are waiting to see the Dean,” they perform their regular secretarial duties, such as; typing and answering the telephone. Found in and around the Bookkeeping Office, is Mrs. Woolridge. It is due to her diligent efforts that High School clubs and organizations have any ba¬ lanced record at all. Mrs. Sark is secre¬ tary to the three guidance counselors. It is her job to schedule student appoint¬ ments with the couselors, and help sen¬ iors who know they want to go to school, but just do not know where. These four ladies are a distinct aspect of Lowell High School and they should be noted for the exceptional work that each of them performs. 34 1 AM ACADEMIC aids L. to R., Sandra Daley, Kay Sampson, Jeanette Fairchild, Audrey Stephan, and Virginia Kasparian. The teacher aids this year have proven to be very valuable. In case these faces are unfamiliar, one may locate these la¬ dies in the three resource centers, the library, and the book store. Our aids give and correct tests, record grades, file tests, ditto papers, as well as work in the cafeteria during noon hours. The aid ' s main purpose is to relieve the teacher from the time consuming job of correct¬ ing tests, allowing him more free time to help his students. Mrs. Daley, located in the Math Resource center, works for the math and social studies teachers. Mrs. Fairchild, our science teachers ' aid, ad¬ ministers tests, and generally helps the science teacher with what needs to be done. Mrs. Kasparian lives in the Eng¬ lish Resource Center. She passes out tests for the programmed learning books needed by the student. The student book store is run by Mrs. Sampson. Her jobs vary from selling school supplies and game tickets to that of keeping track of the inmates in jail. Mrs. Stephens is our librarian ' s assistant. She is found in the production room doing many vari¬ ous jobs. The teacher ' s aids are a neces¬ sity to the functioning of the various departments in Lowell High School. I AM ACADEMIC 35 Varsity cheerleading is not as glamorous as it may seem to those who sit in the stands. It is a year ' round job continuing through the summer months. The girls prepare for the oncoming sports season by attending a cheerleading camp dur¬ ing the month of July. Cheerleading is hard work and an effort. Sometimes our cheerleaders are re¬ warded by being told that they are lousy or by being the only ones yelling at a pep session. This year ' s cheerleaders did their best to reawaken the dying en¬ thusiasm of the student body. Left: Pam Niemeyer, Susie Echterling, Joann Hoff¬ man, Kathy Weaver, and Debbie Steuer.

Their spirit and pride were exhibited as they perfected their cheers and mounts. During the year our Freshman cheer¬ leaders learned the meanings of sports¬ manship and responsibility, which are true qualities of a good cheerleader. These girls proved to be fine examples of L.H.S. school spirit. Above Left: J. V. Cheerleaders Susie McLellan, Mary Yankauskas, Debbie Mennin, and Shelia Stuppy.

Be¬ ing a youthful team, the Devils started three sophomores in the offensive back- field, and one sophomore in the line. Our 3—7 record this season was some¬ what deceiving. The team and many Lowell fans will certainly agree that we beat Crown Point every place but on the scoreboard. The Griffith and Hammond Tech games were within our grasp, but they slipped away in the final seconds. The victorious highlights of the season had to be our 15—12 victory over Mer¬ rillville, and our 14—0 Homecoming victory over Calumet. The team worked hard and had fun do¬ ing it. There were times when the team Mickey Milakovic needed a mud bath, and the coaches needed showers. Quoting from a senior team member, With a guy like Charlie Drewry around, there was never a dull mo¬ ment. With sixteen returning lettermen next year, the future outlook is a bright one. Many juniors and sophomores gained experience this year which will give them the rank of seasoned veterans for the next season. There is also some material from this year ' s freshman squad that will possibly be seeing varsity action next year.

Our Freshman football team opened their season on September 16 with a victory over a small Hanover Central team. Munster was our next opponent on the 23rd and was agressive, capital¬ izing on the Devil ' s mistakes causing our defeat. We proved to be no match for the fired up Panthers from Griffith, as we were defeated 29—0. The Pirates of Merrillville proved to be our most frus¬ trating opponent. We moved the ball at will, but fumbled and lost it four times within 15 yards. Hard defensive plays key-noted our 8—0 victory over the Taft Tigers. Our last ball game found only 22 boys dressed, but we played a spirited game and held off a very good Lake Central team until the last seconds of the game when they grabbed a 16— 8 victory. Overall, the season was not what we had hoped, but because of the spirit and determination that was evi¬ dent during the last few ball games, we feel that some fine varsity material will make itself known within the next two years. freshman football I AM ATHLETIC 47 beep . . . beep Right: On your mark, gel set, go to the showers.

Our two Seniors, Bill Gunn and Jim Stuart were the co-Captains of the team. Eight Jun¬ iors and two Freshmen completed the squad. John Kepshire and Jeff Gunning teamed up as managers to keep things going. The season opened with two meets on Lowell ' s new home course. The course was still a little rough and the distance uncertain, but its length was close to two miles. Early in the fall, sprained ankles and other problems interrupted the season for several runners the team had been depending on. Although the absence of these runners hurt the team, younger runners gained much experience which will prove to be valuable next season. Beep . . . Beep!

As everyone knows, our record this year was not the best, but we lost several very close games, which un- doubtly tortured the loyal fans. The team was full of surprises this year. They were a very unpredictable group which kept the fans guessing and won¬ dering as to what was going to happen next. For instance, every game the star for the Devils was always a different player. The high scorer might be Reed or Schuttz or Schoon or Gunn, but it was never the same person twice in a row. This shows great team balance and unselfishness, which were the team ' s main virtues through most of the sea¬ son. Basketball practices were always loads of fun. It sure was fun to run for five minutes and work on defense moves. Actually, there is no doubt in anybody ' s mind that all the work paid off. Our vic¬ tories were gained through stamina and guts and some of our losses would have been much worse if we had not been prepared to play a full thirty-two mi¬ nutes. The practices had their lighter moments, too. The antics of that great comedy team of Broadwater and Steiner had the team howling and the coach gnashing his teeth. Then there were the shooting contests, from three- quarters court, that had the coach climbing the walls. The team was greatly inspired by the curses and impreciations flung at them by both coaches and fans. Yes, it was quite a year. Lowell High School may not have had the biggest or the best basketball team, but they did have the guts. To Lowell High School Senior team members we say good-bye, to the underclassmen we say good luck next year.

In their fifth encoun¬ ter, though, they proved to their fans that they had what it took to be a victor. In addition to this victory, the J.V. roundballers only managed five wins in contrast to their twelve defeats. Two facts, though, which give basketball fol¬ lowers confidence in next year ' s Varsity squad are the presence of a few in¬ dividual standouts, and the fact that the team won three out of its last four games. Winning 1 st place in the Freshman Holi¬ day Tourney had to be the highlight for this year ' s Frosh. squad. Beating South Newton, our boy ' s gained the chance to meet Kankakee Valley in the finale game. A proud victory along with a tro¬ phy was the outcome of the game. Not only at the Holiday Tourney but all through the season, the team proved themselves to be a fine ball club. Lowell will be looking forward to seeing these boys in Future L.H.S. basketball play.

This year ' s team was hampered primarily by inexperienced underclassmen. The team was small in number, giving us lit¬ tle depth. However, this small number of participants did not dampen their spirit, nor their competitiveness. The bright spots of the season were the wins over Crown Point and Hanover Central. The stars of this year ' s season were, John Yankauskas ' first place finish at Valparaiso, and second place finish in the conference; Paul Thomas ' first place finish at Valparaiso; Randy Purkey ' s sec¬ ond place finish at Valparaiso, and third place finish in the conference; Charley Drewry ' s third place finish in sectionals; Don Dwyn ' s first place finish at Val¬ paraiso, and third place in the confer¬ ence. The brightest star this year was Mike Sharkey ' s conference champion¬ ship, and runner-up in sectionals.

It is a sport requiring much in¬ dividual effort, great determination, and individual discipline. In gymnastics a man competes, not so much against another, but against himself. Each time a gymnast mounts a piece of apparatus, he competes his prior performance, try¬ ing to better himself rather than to beat an opponent. Gymnastic routines, com¬ posed of balances, strength, and flexibil¬ ity, are judged on the basis of difficulty, composition, and form. In the sectional meet, Lowell had sev¬ eral high places. Dean Hoover and Tom Howard tied for 11 th on Side Horse, Jeff Hobbs, team captain, placed 11th on Still Rings, Tom Milich got 9th in all- Around, Steve Jenson placed 7th on Parallel Bars and Glen Walters placed 5th on Rings, thus becoming the first Lowell gymnast to qualify to compete in State Final competition. Although this year ' s team did not have a winning record, they did have a suc¬ cessful season, considering that this is only our 2nd year for gymnastics. The gymnasts put together routines of in¬ creasing difficulty, and have developed the all important style. Below: KNEELING: M. Walters, J. Mayer, C. Dooge, T. Milich, P. Searle, D. Stoltz, B.

De¬ spite the record, this was a successful season considering this was only the second season that Lowell High School has had a swimming team. The core of this year ' s team was made up of sophomores who gained experience which will prove valuable to strengthen¬ ing the team in future seasons. The swimming team showed their strength this year by setting many new shcool records. This was due to the placement of the boys in the events in which they excelled. The new records set are as follows: Stan McLellan in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard freestyle; )ohn Lappie in the 50-yard freestyle; Mike Ogle in the 200- yard freestyle and the 100-yard butter¬ fly; Dan Clark in the 100-yard backstroke; Paul Smith in the 400-yard freestyle; and Kim Krupa in the 100- yard breaststroke.

(Unfortu¬ nately, those teams usually recovered in time to win the meet.) Practices always started out with the thinclads full of vim and vigor, eager to work their tails off for dear ol ' LHS. Of course, this mood was usually gone in five minutes, but it was great while it lasted.

Canvases, sculptures, paint, plus all kinds of very weird objects became a part of the artroom once Mrs. Paluzzi arrived in Lowell to work at her craft.

I AM ACTIVE 91 The prom this year was similar to the title of the movie, “Lovers and Other Strangers. The strangers were really our classmates in disguise. The prom was a test to see if you recognized your classmates by their clothes or by their appearance. It was very different seeing everyone dressed in long gowns and tuxes. Quite a change from the usual grubby jeans and Tee-shirt, for sure! The lovers and the strangers all enjoyed the prom. It was a time of happiness and in some cases, love. The music was good, just the right kind for a prom. The Gremlins played a few fast dances to wake up the bored couples, and break up the affectionate ones. May 15th was a very good night. Hope¬ fully everyone will remember it as the beginning of many good times to come. It is true, we have only just begun ... to live, to love, and to enjoy.

The band Ore was the mother ' s invention (Get it?), and it more than met their purpose of keep¬ ing the couples awake. The music was loud, quite a difference from the quiet, slow music of the prom. The couples were more at ease and more comforta¬ ble as many had changed clothes before coming to the post prom. The chicken, pizza, and pop filled th e empty stom¬ achs and eased the nerves. Door prizes were raffled off and many lucky prom couples arrived home with more than expected. When the clock struck four, the couples sleepily left to meet the dawning of a new day.

When it came, mixed emotions came, too. The gradu¬ ates were happy and relieved to have that diploma in their hands, yet sad to leave their familiar world and friends. The parents were very proud of their child. They were happy to see their child graduate, but sad to know he would soon leave home. What will happen to these 1971 gradu¬ ates? Will they be remembered by their classmates, or forgotten as time goes on. Will they be happy, a success, a failure? Is one of the class a future president? Lowell has given them the best possible chance to be a success, it now all de¬ pends on the graduate himself.

Activities of the Society during the year are limited to the induction ceremony and other projects. Membership in this organization is a major asset that helps a student enter the college of his choice, and later on, may even open job opportunities for him. 106 1 AM ACTIVE National Honor Society Officers: Jim Stuart, President; Mimi Hirata, Vice-President; Maria Arista, Secretary; Luan Perzo, Treasurer.

The Student Council began a new year with many varied projects. As a service to the community, money was collected by the members for the March of Dimes, and in place of a Christmas Dance, the council sponsored a Valen¬ tine ' s Dance. A student exchange pro¬ gram was also conducted with various schools in the area. In an attempt to bring the Student Coun¬ cil and the students closer, members went to homerooms and listened to any suggestions that students might have had for school improvements. Criticism also came with the many suggestions. However, it is hoped that the Student Council was able to cope with the changing situations to bring about a bet¬ ter understanding between the students and the administration. the student voice of l.h.s.

This is the Lowell High School Band. Merely putting these pieces together does not make a band. The hard work and determination of the members is the key to the band ' s successful year. The results of this hard work were evi¬ dent not only in the band ' s marked im¬ provement, but there were more entries from Lowell in the District and State Contests than preceding years. The band this year is mainly made up of Freshmen. These members have learned that the band is a serious organi¬ zation and the loafers were left behind from the start. The band has improved a lot this year, but the members are not content to stop here.

The money for the plants and flowers comes from the profits of the Club ' s annual dance. This year the dance, which featured a Valparaiso band, was extremely successful, and provided the club with the money it needed for future projects.

The members of the Math and Science Club, under the leadership of Janet Jones, participated in many activities designed to enlighten the student on various areas of mathematics and science not normally studied in high school. The Math and Science Club ' s activities, such as a field trip to a planetarium, guest speakers, and science oriented movies were also open to other science students and the public. Mr. Ouwenga and Mr. Beeching, repre¬ senting the mathematics and science fields, were the club ' s sponsors. They were always available to advise and en¬ courage the Math and Science Club members as they pursued their interests.

The club ' s main objective is to acquaint the interested students with the teaching profession. It is hard to believe that somebody would actually want to become a teacher! Under the leadership of president Janet Jones, the club was very active during the year. Panel discussions and guest speakers were planned and a trip to In¬ diana University was taken to acquaint the members with a college campus. One of the highlights of the F.T.A. ' s year was the teacher for a day activity. This day consisted of F.T.A. members and other interested students taking over a teacher ' s classes. FIRST ROW ' S. Echterling, J. Coates, M. Truchan, J.

If you see a haggard student walk through the doors of the high school anytime during the day, do not be alarmed; most likely, this student is coming back from a few hours of cadet teaching. The cadet teacher is a senior who, in his free time, helps a teacher in one of the area schools. One cadet teacher ' s job may be that of wiping the tears of a homesick kindergartener while another ' s may be outsmarting the know-it-all ' s in the upper grades. The cadet teacher is graded every six weeks on his appearance, punctuality, willingness, courtesy, patience, and other factors. The teaching usually be¬ gins the second semester with the stu¬ dent receiving credit for his work. The cadet works with the teacher doing any¬ thing that is asked of him. Anyone who is planning on entering the teaching profession is highly advised to be a ca¬ det teacher. It offers valuable experi¬ ence and it ' s fun. “know-it-alls and bloody noses: a day in the life of a cadet teacher I AM ACTIVE 125 FIRST ROW: P. Niemeyer, K. Weaver, S. Echterl- ing, D. Steuer, ).

These yelling, screaming girls backed the L.H.S. teams through victories and defeats. A new organization, the B.C.B. (Boys Cheer Block), cannot go without men¬ tion. This cheer block, even though the cheers were sometimes questionable, backed the teams with a new en¬ thusiasm that Lowell has never seen before.

F.F.A., this year, proved to Lowell High that there is more to a farmer ' s life than what meets the eye. The club was very active visiting livestock shows and working on community projects. Last summer, this year ' s freshman attended a Greenhand Orientation program at Camp Limberlost near Lake Oliver. The Farm Progress Show, the International Livestock Show, and the livestock and dairy farms at Purdue University were just a few other places visited by this year ' s F.F.A. members. The club shared their knowledge of farming and the soil by working on a conservation project of reseeding the hill behind Oak Hill Elementary School. The little building that appeared over night near the high school parking lot is also one of the club ' s creations. This little building is commonly known as “Little ' s little greenhouse . In conclu¬ sion, as the old saying goes, a business man works from nine to five but a far¬ mer ' s work makes the country thrive. 28 1 AM ACTIVE SITTING L. to R.: Z. Law, M. Zatorski, T. McHugh, ).

The newspaper staff started the year by renaming their bi-weekly production the Devil ' s Tongue. Along with its new name, the Devil ' s Tongue staff also created a new image. While the paper still contained the basic items as sports news and the slander column, the paper became much more the student ' s than in past years. The student body was en¬ couraged to express their opinions and views on the important issues of Lowell High. The response to this opportunity was surprisingly good with rebuttals to the editorials, rebuttals to the rebuttals and so on down the line. Spirited, con¬ troversial, and full of new ideas, the De¬ vil ' s Tongue was definitely the voice of the students of Lowell High. from lowellette to devil ' s tongue I AM ACTIVE 129 input: headaches, shattered nerves, sweat, pop bottles, and brains output: this!!! If a student or teacher should wander through the C mezzanine area, sup¬ posedly reserved for working on the Lowellian, he might see a bunch of crazy nuts led by one super cocoa nut. These nuts appear to be goofing off, but in reality, they are racking their brains for new and different ideas for the yearbook. Three days a week, long hard hours are spent over a bottle of pop working to meet the fast approaching deadline. In¬ spite of Mr. Hunt ' s screams, and our fearless leader ' s shattered nerves, the Lowellian staff will no longer be a group after graduation, because it will have a grand total of three members returning next year. Perhaps this is better for Low¬ ell High, but anyone who is interested in working next year is encouraged by ev¬ ery member of this year ' s staff, for it is a lot of fun.

Scribblings is a name given to the liter¬ ary works of the Lowell High School students which are compiled into one pamphlet that states the literary accom¬ plishments of the school body. Whew! Now that the formalities are over, this year ' s Scribblings has much more to of¬ fer than in previous years, which means there has been a lot more work on the staff ' s part. Due to their diligent work, Scribblings has increased in size. Its sponsor, Mrs. Hazel Nichols, has again this year shown her interest and devo¬ tion to this compilment by freely and willingly giving of her time and talent as an English teacher for the enlargement and increased effectiveness of the Scrib¬ blings . 1971 ' s Scribblings proved to be as thought provoking to the reader as it was to the author at its time of creation. scribblings: the prose and poetry of l.h.s.
