For Jr. Miss Title Spirit Award went to Miss Lynda Greiner. The theme of this year ' s Junior Miss was based on Memories Are Forever , which led to the unique way of introducing the girls, by first showing their baby pictures and then introducing the girls as they are now. The girls worked hard for six to eight weeks for the special event. As Junior Miss came to an end, the general comment was, It ' s over already!? The competion at Lowell is tougher than most schools, but it prepares the winner for the state contest. The main man behind Junior Miss and General Chairman for the past three years was Mr. Geno Flores. Geno and his wife, Phyllis, worked tireless hours in coordinating the pageant so the girls would get the most enjoyment out of participating. This was Lowell ' s 15th annual Junior Miss Pag¬ eant and its success can only be attributed to the community of Lowell who supported it so well. TOP LEFT: AND THE WINNERS ARE.

(played by Mr. Mathena) With much disbelief, humor, and talent, the Fine Arts Revue cast of the faculty play, along with nearly 35 other cast members, was a huge success, even with the great amount of ad-libbing. The Fine Arts Revue made its debut last year, 1976-77, under the direction of Mrs. Terry Howie. It was such a huge success that a precedent has been set for an annual event. The purpose of the Fine Arts Revue is to give those students who are great musi¬ cians, but not necessarily great actors, a chance to perform in front of an audience. The show this year consisted of 25 acts which varied from vocal selections to in¬ strumental selections. Vocal selections were performed by: William Stagner, Philip Ford, Anita Rent, John Kuiper, Ken Hall, Jeff Ford, Angie Laszlo, Cathy Harding, Tim So- lic, Carolyn Hoover, and Miss Denise Waters. Also performing in that category were: Jean and Jerri Stull, Tim Adam, and Peggy Roney. Instrumental selections were per¬ formed by: Kevin Kintz, Edward Eubank, Melanie Berwick, and Shirley Sichterman. TOP LEFT: NOTHING BUT CLASS.
