Spirit Brings Joy To An Otherwise Mundane Existence Lowell High School continually comes up with spirit we didn’t even seem to have. Even though, by order of those “higher up,” we were denied pep sessions before a few of the foot¬ ball games, the crowds were always big and, above all, NOISY! Home¬ coming was its usual raucous self, and Red Devil fans were always present to witness the exploits of their team. No doubt the sophomores and rhines have witnessed and be¬ come infected with Devil power. Hopefully they will never recover and start their own crazy, creative brand of spirit for Lowell High School. 4: Devil Power is demonstrated by Angela Starr. 5: The Bonfire was, as usual, a big event in Homecoming. 6: ROTC carries the colors through the parade. 7: Gary Druckemiller sur¬ veys the Red Devil action from his front-row center seat.

The Roadrunners were led by Gary Ross, this year’s most valu¬ able runner, and Randy Corns, the most improved. Juniors Eric Foss and Terry Little picked up trophies at the Highland Invitational. Mark Za¬ kula made his first year in cross¬ country a successful one and hope¬ fully will nm again next season. The squad was rounded out by Bill Ping, Andy Eubank, Ken Keithley, and Don Stuart. Foss and Stuart cap¬ tained the team and kept the Roa¬ drunners unified. Rocky Roadruck was a welcomed freshman, as was Charlie Szabo. John O’Drobinak and Mark Bartz were sophomore Roa¬ drunners, who with work, could be tomorrow’s stars. Larry Ouwenga held the reins again this year. A new face on the scene was Coach Bob Thomas, who assisted Mr. Ouwenga and will hopefully be around for quite a while. Cross Country 25
