The team once again sta rted off with four works of excitement and winning scores but ended with somewhat of a fizzle. The Invincible No. 22 led the team and the conference in scoring and rushing as he and Kim Hales be¬ came perennial members of the All Conference Football Team. Homecoming brought excitement to the old Alma Mater as the Dev¬ ils bombed the Griffith Panthers off the turf and the fananas went bananas. Next years head coach¬ ing position was left open to many seekers due to the resigna¬ tion of Frank O’Shea. The many returning lettermen have already begun to equate a winning com¬ bination for next year’s team. 1. Joe Durham takes time out for a cool drink. Row 1: B. Langen, D. Spain, C. Uiff, M. Fred, J.

Show Potential I The J.V. football team, under the di¬ rection of Coach Dermody, had an¬ other good year. Again they were plagued by a weak following from the student body. The team has had many outstanding members who Coach Dermody says will be a defi¬ nite asset to next year’s varsity team. The Freshman team, coached by Mr. Woodrow and Mr. Skvara, had an outstanding year. Reports say that it was the best year the team has had in some time. As with the J.V. team, it lacks fans, but plays to its poten¬ tial. Lowell High School should be able to look forward to winning teams in the future. Row 1: R. Spry, D. Cross, K. Maatman, J.

However, with this record, the youth of the team must be taken into consideration. Coach Shaler was very content with his team, as it improved con¬ siderably as the season prog¬ ressed. The team did fairly well in th e Sectional and Conference meets, although only a few mem¬ bers placed. Next year with its youth and experience, the team should improve greatly on its Varsity—Row 1: B. Ping, Coach Thomas, C. Smith. Row 2: A. Eubank, E. Foss. Row 3: M. Zakula, T. Little, M. Bartz.

You have to set a goal each day and attempt to reach or better it. You must have the desire to win ev¬ ery race you enter. You must put forth every ounce of energy as an in¬ dividual performer in order to im¬ prove the team effort. You must have confidence in the coach and team-mates. Coach Bob Thomas de¬ scribed the year as a definite success and says his boys possess these qualities. The team had an excellent dual record and finished with a close second at the North Newton Invitational, the most important of the season. A new summer running program was adopted by the team, and Coach Thomas felt its success was due to this. Six of the seven var¬ sity runners are seniors and the team will be on the lookout for un¬ derclassmen to take their places. Cross Country Cross Country 13 Under the direction of their new coach, Miss Ayers, the volleyball team faired well this year. Though the teams had struggles under their new first-year coach, both teams finished with nearly a .500 season. Excitement mounted as the season progressed. The team provide the sparse crowd with minute-by-minute excite¬ ment. Though the A-Team will be losing two of its senior members, Judy Huke and Jill Snyder, it is looking forward to another fine season. V.B. Teams Split Season J.V.

VB 15 Lowell High School’s optimistic swimmers began their 1975-76 season somewhat disastrously in the form of four opening losses. The Devilfish made some waves against Hammond Tech and Lew Wallace. Coach Coghill and the boys practiced from early fall to the end of February working hard on such things as stroke improve¬ ment, team relays and diving. Tom Beeching was the team’s out¬ standing swimmer. Ranked to win a chance at state competition, he was taken seriously ill and was unable to compete. Many thanks should go to the Timerettes and to Mr. Beeching for announcing at the meets. Lowell High School should be proud of the hard work the Devilfish put forth.

In actuality, the gymnastic team has had a good year. The girls received their new uniforms and sweatshirts, which boosted the girl’s morale. The team has had to deal with the thrill of victory and the ag¬ ony of defeat. Though all of the girls participated at first, some were un¬ able to finish the season, due to per¬ sonal injury. The team finished its season with sectionals, placing fourth out of eight participating teams. Row 1: P. Cripe. J. Proper; B. Scheckel. L. Husiar, S. Anderson. K. Laudig. J. Huke. Miss Long.

The teams did well considering the problems they encountered this year. During the season the teams, especially the Varsity, were plagued by a multitude of ankle and knee injuries, which re¬ stricted the teams ' playing capac¬ ity. Half of the Varsity team will graduate this year; while the J.V. team, who started out with all new members, will loose no one. Under the coaching of Becky Ainsworth, the returning players can look forward to a good season.

The reason? They were great! At Lowell High wrestling is now coming out of the locker room, and the faculty and stu¬ dents are beginning to take notice of the growing sport. The high¬ light of the year was when the Grapplers captured the Semi- State wrestling Crown. The coach, Mr. James Hurst, was named Coach of the year. Coach Hurst, loved and admired by his boys, did an excellent job. Future wrestlers should look forward to being on this team. Grapplers 5. The Lowell wrestling scene bright , 6. Front: T. Osburn, T.

Undefeated dual meet wrestlers were Jim Rust—126, Carey Smith—132, Darryl Sny¬ der—177 and Paul Sharkey—185. Good luck next year. Row 1: B. Viers, T. Beckrich, B. O’Neill, C. Smith, S. Cesario, R.

The team seemed to work together and stay together with the coaching help of Mr. Bill Spencer. Although seven of the ten players were seniors, and supported most of the weight, underclassmen Smith, Wleklinski, and Bailey were tremen¬ dous assets to the team. The year went well and sectionals were upon our Devils. Fans mobbed the K.V. gymnasium as the Red Devils beat Hanover Central, and edged by K.V. The Devils played against the He¬ bron Hawks and finished in second place. The coach and the boys worked hard and earned every bit of praise they were given. 36 Varsity Basketball The Highlight of the season for Freshman Basketball was becom¬ ing Kankakee Valley Tourney Champs. Suffering with a small team the boys were overpowered the last games by much larger teams. Though the team had physical difficulties, they fin¬ ished with a 6-10 season.

Homecoming be¬ gins weeks in advance when the clubs first start thinking about a float theme to tie in with the team we play. Long hours are spent decorating commons, stuffing floats and painting windows, all which go toward spirit points for the spirit stick at the end of the week. Students plan their ward¬ robe to fit each day whether it be a 50’s attire or a flannel shirt and jeans. Tension builds as results from commons and window jud¬ ging, queen finalists and daily dress-ups are tallied. Margo Ko- rmendy is crowned Homecoming Queen, and a tired but happy stu¬ dent body danced with Lowell High School alumni and fellow students and brought an end to a tiring, exciting but fun-filled week. 1.

The story starts with a young girl whose personality was split by way of a mother who was very French and a father who was very Bostonian. Chantel meets Gene Wright, a model photographer. Without approval of her father, Chantel does some risque mod¬ eling and marries Gene. Other models compete for Gene’s atten¬ tion and Chantel resorts to her mother’s dog-training manual. The play was accompanied by humorous conflicts and in the end everyone is happy. 1. Chantel makes move on Gene. 2.

All waited breathlessly as the winner was announced. Karen Jones became the 1975 Jr. Mi ss and was crowned by 1974 Jr. Miss, Gloria Schoon. Karen Jones also re¬ ceived the physical fitness award. Nancy Wierzba received the spirit of Jr. Miss, and the Talent award. Janet Proper received the Scholastic Award; Joan Coffman was first runner-up; Debbie Ganns was the second runner-up, and Kelly Boyles was third run¬ ner-up.

Coach Sue Skvara said, “We improved 100% over last year.” It is a very exciting sport. We all worked together with hard drills to keep our strength up and challenged each other for the dif¬ ferent positions. Even though we lost many matches, we kept our spirits up and looked forward to each up-coming match. We all had a lot of fun and wish the sea¬ son could have been longer. 52 Girls ' Tennis 1.

Although the lateness of this annual turnabout has caused something to happen to its name, there seems to be no change in its success. The AFS has sponsored this “heart-throbbing so¬ cial event for the past four years and as always there are problems of scheduling, problems of getting people to decorate and most seri¬ ously is the problem of that other her getting to him before you do. De¬ spite these problems there is always the satisfaction of showing off your new dress and having a good time “bopping” on the gym floor. 4. Senior couples decide to sit this one out. 6.

Despite the problems and con¬ flicts which the cast had to face, it was able to perform before two full houses, making all the long weeks of practice worth while.

R.O.T.C. 82 ROTC Art Guild- Colorful Club With hands in glue, construction paper and evergreen trees, the Art Guild showered their over-abundance of tal¬ ent around. They have designed all name cards and center pieces for the Fall, Winter, and Spring athletic ban¬ quets. They up and decorated the Christmas tree that was put in the South Commons. The club also pre¬ pared the displays in the Lowell Public Library and displays in the showcases at school. At the library the Spring dis¬ play was designed for the bicentennial year. These artistic talents helped make the school and community a more colorful place. Front: H. Burley, M. Searle, J. Hoover, J. Leach. B. Gerner, Mr. Ray. Back: M. Rumback, L. Beach. A. Shanks. C.

With the help of the Media and Publication class the staff learned the uncanny skills needed to put out a top notch paper. Though the number of staff members decreased through out the year, the quality of the paper was continually on the rise. In hopes to raise spirit, a free paper was given out on the day of the sectionals. The members of the staff have at¬ tended speeches given by the Ham¬ mond Times and the Advisor of the In¬ diana University Yearbook and Newspaper Staff. All of these have proved to be an enlightening experi¬ ence enabling the staff to learn more about the production of a newspaper. Devil’s Tongue 1. Why work? Read the paper Row 1: C. Arlet. A.

Club 85 And the Band Played On Under the unbelievable direction of Mr. Norman Aich the band had a profitable season attaining many firsts in numerous parades. Football season brought differ¬ ent experiences in the way of half-time shows, the an¬ nual chicken bar-b-que, marching contests and various activities. The rest of the year was filled with concerts, students attending district NISBOVA contest, with some students continuing on to state contest, and con¬ cert band contest. Students also participated in the pep band, which performed at basketball games and pep sessions and stage band, which went to a contest also. The band hopes to continue their activities this coming summer, attending several bicentennial parades in honor of our nation’s 200th birthday. Improvement will be the main ingredient of the band for the future. 1. Band patiently waits for instructions from the drummajor. 2.

They sponsored a stu¬ dent to go to Colorado this summer in a leadership program, and helped plan a Donkey Basketball Game, so you could watch your friends made Qlk 3$% = jd(fools) out of them¬ selves. The Christmas Dance they con¬ jured up turned the gym into a winter wonderland, and the “Kiss” contest they entered gave everyone a craving for candy bars. But, the Student Coun¬ cil wasn’t all fun and games this year; they set-up Homecoming week, planned the activity for sectionals, and planned lunch sessions with Mr. Druckemiller so students could tell him their gripes. They also helped the Jaycees in their quest for canned goods at Christmas time. Student Council 1. Council members fulfill a cookie making project. Mr. Kalbac, sponsor. Row 1: R. Randall, C.

The girls entertained us during half time of Var¬ sity basketball games, during half time of the Homecoming football game and by marching in the Homecoming pa¬ rade. Projects of selling stationery and Christmas cards have brought money towards jackets. The girls show great promise for the future. Pom Poms 1 J Row 1: J. Proper, P. Ramon, P. Bean, B. Peebles, L.

With their electrical and light¬ ing skills they played major roles in the production of plays, Jr. Miss, NHS In¬ duction, concerts and other activities. With many Upper classmen in the ranks, fresh new faces of the under¬ classmen will be sought next year. Back: M. Ford, |. Woolfork, P. Horneij, Row 2: S. Carlson, T. Eidam, C. Hoshaw, K. Kintz.

The French Club has been involved in everything from French Festivals to bake sales. Every season they have a new activity. In the Fall they sold Spook insurance for all who wanted protection against those who enjoy soaping windows. For Winter they took a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry to see “Christmas Around the World, and afterward, had lunch at “Le Bordaut”, a French restaurant in Chicago. Spring brought bake sales and an invitation to make pen-pals with a French writing club. This years club has enjoyed having fun learning. Pic. 4. Betty Evans stirs the fondue. Back Row: R.

Together with bake sales and raffles, the club raised enough money for these activities. The club hopes to prosper and grow in members in the coming years. This theatrical season brought some interesting times. “If a Man An¬ swers,” the fall play, was a comedy that was unusually amusing. This year Thespians took the Christmas play, Our Miss Brooks” and the “Christmas Carol” to the Lowell Middle School, as well as, offering a fine performance to the classes at the high school. The three 1-Acts were next with “Feathertop,” and the “Cop and the Anthem,” along with “The True Story of Robin- hood,” which successfully drew the crowd and the laughter.

Along with the usual meetings, the club had its teachers’ elves, the annual turkey raffle, Teach¬ ers’ Basketball Game, Teachers’ break¬ fast, and a float in the homecoming pa¬ rade. F.E.A. participated in Education Week, Education Month, and the re¬ gional and state conferences. At these conferences one member was elected area vice-president, and another was nominated for Miss F.E.A. At the Teachers ' breakfast the identities of the elves were discovered, and at Hon¬ ors Night the F.E.A. Scholarship was presented to the outstanding senior member. An event filled program kept the “elves” one of the most active clubs in the school. Funny Elfies 1. Miss Bever, conducting the Cadet Teaching Program, is also FEA sponsor. Row 1:). Woosley, ).

The girls served as hostesses at the high school’s open house and other events. Not only did they serve at open house, but they baked dozens of cookies for it as well. This year for money making projects the club sold bicentennial ca¬ lendars and cookbooks. They also sponsored the Mother’s Tea again which also had a bicentennial theme. Row 1: P. Rosenbauer, E.

The Lowell Mat Maids, Timerettes, and Trackettes are all branches of the Pep Club. Besides cheering the boys on, the three organizations also keep score, time, slice oranges and make signs. The Trackettes also help in field events. Mat Maids assist Coach Hurst and Coach Cusic by taking coach notes. All organizations had a few new members to add interest. Does Anybody still bother to take books home? and actually study any¬ more? If grades are any indication, the ingenious group of students who make up the National Honor Society do. This year NHS activities included bake- sales, and open house guides. The yearly induction ceremony for new members was held on Tuesday eve¬ ning, April 13th in the Little theater. Vica is probably one of the most active clubs in school, as it functions year round. A standard plea is heard “Can you do something for my car? It goes caphlomp” Vica to the rescue. In April members of the club attended the Re¬ gional Vica Skill Contest in Michigan City. Rod Gordon placed high enough in the written skill test, and he will be going to the state competition on Satur¬ day, May 8th. Keep It Up .... W V ■ 1 ■ «A __ 1 4 4 Row 1: B. Bachman. P. Eckhoff. P.

Dur¬ ing the Christmas season the club sold candy canes, went caroling and en¬ joyed a party afterwards. This year they raised money for two reasons: to go out to eat and to sponsor the I.U. Honor Program. The club had two semi-finalists: Margaret Bravos and Mary Searle. Mary finished as an alter¬ nate, and Margaret qualified and will be spending her summer in Mexico.

Even though the A.F.S. is small in number, it gets a lot .accomplished. In April the A.F.S. invited foreign ex¬ change students from other schools in this area, to come down to Lowell and spend the week-end. Each student stayed at an A.F.S. student’s home, and spent the week-end engaging in vari¬ ous activities, which included a base¬ ball game, bike hike, and a party. Plans are being made to sponsor a foreign ex¬ change student, for the following school year. Kneeling: P. Kasper, T. Frahm, K. Boyles, K. Laudig, T. Little, Standing: M. Kormendy, C. Hassin, S.

The choir participated in many events this year. The float, which was in the Home¬ coming parade, whose theme was “The Panthers Sleep Tonight” took a second in the Clubs Division. The Choir held the annual Christmas Concert in the Little Theater. Hundreds came to hear the angelic voices. Soon the District Choral Festival rolled around. They drove to Brookston, IN., to participate. The musical, “Oklahoma,” was a smashing success. Row 1: P. Ford, S. Stephan. J. Rust, S. Kuiper, J. Kuiper, J. Stull, ). Woolfolk, C. Holding, B.

A TRIBUTE TO May 6, 1976 This years gym show presented by the girls phys. ed classes paid tribute to Walt Disney, the king of Magic and imagination. With the help of the art department, many of the Disney characters came to life to thrill the man y young people who attended the show.

' ' M « At one time or another in our lives, each of us must leave a place and temporarily end relationships and work and replace them with memories. For many of us seniors graduation is an end of a tremendous part of our lives, never to be relived again with anything but memories. The end it may be, but in reality it is only the beginning to the greatest and largest part of our lives ahead. As the seniors leave, each student and member of the faculty changes in some way. Many are saddened by the departing of their senior friends as they have given a part of themselves to each one. The juniors must now step forward and take over the reins of school activities acting as offi¬ cers and new leaders of the student body. The soph¬ omores and freshmen each take one step up on the ladder and strive to prepare themselves to take the lead in future years. We fnustn’t take the departure of the seniors as the end, for it is only the beginning. We musn’t say good-bye, but see you soon. Each of us are constantly striving to better ourselves in some way and we must move on to do so. We must leave with happy thoughts and smiles of the memories of all that gave passed. See you soon.
