Lowell High School - Lowellian Yearbook (Lowell, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 224 of the 1979 volume:

Student Life Activities are the spice in life of Lowell High School. They are the missing piece of the puzzle that when fi¬ nally found lends a new light to the picture. A f t e r approximately seven hours of classes every day. we need something to revive our interest in life. Special events help liven up our free times, our quiet times, and to lessen our solitude. Special activities and pro¬ grams can take many forms. Many are chosen for the stu¬ dents by the students; some are chosen by clubs and or¬ ganizations. Still others are selected by the teachers and administration. Some are scheduled dur¬ ing school hours. These are often planned weeks or even months in advance. Every year, students in World His¬ tory and those in U.S. His¬ tory watch several movies. The movies are educational as well as entertaining. Entertainment is generally easy to find. There are foot¬ ball games, basketball games, tennis matches, and wrestling meets, boys’ and girls’ swimming and diving. But these are not events, in a sense, because they are usual. An “event” is some¬ thing special, something new, or something out of the ordi¬ nary; perhaps it is something that’s never been done before at Lowell High School. For example, this year the Stu¬ dent Council sponsored Lowell High’s first disco dance. There was live music and a disco light system. The Student Council also held a mini-convocation at which the Air Force Rock Band performed. The Theatre Arts Department was given permission to hold a comedy revue, entitled “That Comedy Thing,” in addition to the Third Annual Fine Arts Revue.” Another revelation in the field of drama came with the school’s spring musical, “Hello, Dolly!” For the first time a real band was used for background music. The Theatre Arts Depart¬ ment, which also includes Thes¬ pians, also went to Chicago to view a production of the Broad¬ way musical, “A Chorus Line.” two Other field trips were also planned. The Latin Club went to see the Pompeii exhibit in Chi¬ cago: the French Club went out to eat at a French restaurant, and the choir went to Renssalaer to attend the Northern Indiana District Choral Festival of 1979. The Jr. Miss Pageant, which has always been a success, was won by Carolyn Hoover. Every year the Rotary Club of Lowell also holds a speech con¬ test as a means of furthering the interest of speech in Lowell High School. 0 The students do have time to work, however. After an intensive study of freshmen students in Ball State and Indiana State Uni¬ versities, it was found that gradu¬ ates of Lowell High School were further ahead in academics than the other students. All these pieces go together to form the puzzle. Completing the picture does not signify the end. but rather a new beginning of fur¬ ther chapters of life. Consistency—A Proven Factor In Frosh- First, I saw the police cars; like in every other parade, they al¬ ways started the parade with po¬ lice cars. The Sophomore girls were screaming to their frosh powderpuff companions, “We’re No. 1!” with two floats between them. The LHS Band could be heard above the screaming and yelling, playing the school fight song over and over again to arouse the crowd to move toward the field. The parade continued until it reached the high school, and when they all had gathered around, they lit the bonfire and threw in the Warrior. This act was the kick-off to the pow¬ derpuff games. The game was scoreless in the first half, but led to an exciting half time, during which Dave Schwimmer was crowned Pow¬ derpuff King. Another festivity was the leap frog contest between classes. This event was easily won by the freshmen. The float Sophomore Powderpuff Victory awards were then announced. Sophomores won first place for class and windows and freshman won second place on float com¬ petition. Clubs winning were: In¬ dustrial Ed. Float-First; Spanish Club-Second. Those winning Honorable Mention were the Thespians, FEA and VICA. The second half of the game led to a victory for the Freshmen-Soph- omore team, but it was a tough loss for the Juniors and Seniors.

And that means a school full of crazy dressed spirited people. This year the students of LHS were dressed in class colors, school colors, as athletes, as teens in the 50’s, and changed the mood to the modern beat of disco. The cheerleaders in charge of spirit week sold Tootsie roll pops, links, and raffled off T-shirts. After the spirit filled week of activities, the big pep session was next, which was held Friday afternoon before the big game. In the gym the cheer¬ leaders announced the winners of the spirit stick, which were the sophomores. They also announced the commons’, links’ and win¬ dows’ leaders, which were judged by the aides and secretaries, Mrs. Kasparian, Mrs. Sampson, and Mrs. Daley. Also during the pep session, Cindy Hales showed her talent by winning the pie¬ eating contest. After the fun filled pep session, the guys were ready to battle the Warr iors in an exciting game of football. Al¬ though the team was losing, the fans had constant hope of getting a lucky break. Even though it never came, the half time festivities made up for the loss. Susan Bedoian was crowned Homecoming Queen while the band played “Nobody Does It Better.” After the game, the queen danced the first dance to the music of the band “Strider.” The theme of the homecoming dance was “Here Comes The Sun,” and those who went to the game and stayed for the dance will cherish their high school homecoming memories.

On November 15, the Fall Sports Banquet was held at Low¬ ell High School and honored ath¬ letes from six different sports. 350 honorees, parents, coaches, rela¬ tives, and patrons were enjoying a catered dinner only to be fol¬ lowed by a presentation of awards. Awards were given to all de¬ serving students who worked hard for what they earned. eight BELOW: CHEERLEADERS REWARDED.

O (A The third annual Fine Arts Revue was another smashing suc¬ cess to many of the viewers. Al¬ though the show was a little long, it only proved once again that Lowell has more talent than they know what to do with. Lowell Thespian leader, Mr. Brady, and student director, Julie DeVine, had a very difficult time eliminat¬ ing acts from the show. They tried something new by having a preliminary audition to help the actor or actress with their act for the big and final audition. At the final audition, many acts were eliminated, not because of quality but because of quantity. Theatre is a tough business about which many students have learned this year. Mr. Brady has also improved the Little Theatre by professionalising it a bit to give students a better idea of how a professional show should be run. He painted the pits black and put up black curtains. After much hard, driving work, the Fine Arts Revue commenced. Now it’s in our past, and we can only remi¬ nisce of the three very good past Fine Arts Revues. ABOVE LEFT: DANCE TO THE BEAT.

This year’s theme was Showboat 79, which pertained to the Youth Fitness Routine, which was done to “Dueling Banjos”. The eighteen participants worked vigorously for four weeks putting together their talents and working on the Youth Fitness Routine. They grew close like sisters and gained friends they never knew they had. Geno Flores was chairman for his fourth consecutive year. Co- chairmen were Eldie Schultz and Phyllis Flores. Carolyn Hoover was crowned Junior Miss and received the Scholastic Award. First runner- up was Beth Bau er, who also won the Youth Fitness and Talent Awards. Second runner-up and winner of the Poise and Appear¬ ance Award was Linda Husiar. Third runner-up was Stacy An¬ derson. The Spirit of Junior Miss Award went to Sherrie Nord.

An epidemic spread wildly throughout Lowell High. The name of the epidemic was Disco Fever. The age group prone to this fever varied, but in the high school that night, it hit mainly the age group from Freshmen to Se¬ niors. The place where the epi¬ demic spread: The Fall Fling. The only cure: Dance it away! The highlight of the evening was a dance contest in which six semi-finalist couples were cho¬ sen. These 12 danced and Joe Phillips and Carol Ohlenkamp were chosen in 1st place. The other finalist couples were Rick Bradbury and Lisa Brown, Ed Eu¬ bank and Carolyn Hoover, Clare Searle and Dave Hirata, Debbie Mayer and Tim Adam, Chris Richards and Chris Kirgan.

She and new Thes¬ pian leader, Mr. Brady had tryouts one month before coming up with a great cast for The Curi¬ ous Savage. They worked after school rehearsing the play, had a pizza, relaxed a bit, then re¬ hearsed again until late and re¬ tired home to sleep until the next school day, which brought the same routine. The people on the stage crew don’t usually get much recognition for their hard work and efforts. Many thanks go to stage manager Lucy Norris, Terry Bauer, Bobby Hardy, and Chris Marvel.

MASH starring Greg Donnelly and Tracy Smith was a smash hit all three nights it was performed. There were 30 members and all 30 had to wait a week and a half to find out if they got a part and what part they had. The play started out under the snow. Once the cast was chosen, the directors and cast worked ev¬ ery day until showtime. One of the stars, Tracy Smith, (who played Duke) was involved in an automobile accident the weekend before the play. He wasn’t badly hurt, and he came back to a happy MASH team and performed all three productions. Greg Donnelly (who played Hawkeye) was a surprise actor. He had so much talent in the tryout that we knew he ' d pull it off as Hawkeye very easily. His fabulous acting kept the entire MASH team excited and en¬ thused about doing the play.

The evening entertainment was provided by “Just For You,” and seemed to be well received by the crowd. Couples were given the oppor¬ tunity to have their picture taken by Walhberg Picture Studios at the cost of $6.50. ABOVE LEFT: SITTING ONE OUT.

The 1979 Jr. Sr. Prom started out very early on Saturday morn¬ ing, May 5, when every girl got up early to start getting ready for the big night ahead of her. She couldn’t wait for the evening to come and when it finally did come, she let her parents take pic¬ tures of her and her date together, arm in arm. At the Prom, the girls were es¬ corted to the building while her date parked the car. When he en¬ tered the building, they began their way through the forest of pines. The first stop in the forest was the prom guest book. Every couple signed it. They then walked a bit farther and stopped again at the shawl rack where the girls left their shawls. The couples then walked toward the RIGHT: RATHER PEACEFUL. Rick Dre- ver and his date casually admire the wa¬ terfall at the prom. BELOW: IT MATCHED PERFECTLY.

When they reached the opening, their names were announced. During the Prom, couples danced, drank punch, and con¬ versed with one another. The band of the evening this year was Phase IV, who did a highly ade¬ quate job in accommodating the dancers. During the Prom, the King and Queen were announced. This year’s 1979 Prom King and Queen were Tom Dougherty and Sue Bedoian. After the Prom was over, the couples had 45 minutes to talk to one another until the Post Prom Party started. After the Post Prom Party was over, the couples went home to get a few minutes of sleep before heading for Turkey Run or Great America. Most couples seemed to pull through the weekend. The Prom was put together by skillful people like Mr. Sufana’s art classes, the Junior Class and sponsors. The 1979 Prom was a success because of these people who worked so hard. ABOVE: SWAYING.

This cartoon was set in Dogpatch, Kentucky, with Hill¬ billies, or Yokems. One event in this comic life was a day called Sadie Hawkins. On this day, all of the young unwed girls would chase after eli¬ gible young men. If she should just happen to catch the man of her choice, he would be forced to marry her. So on this day, all young men would keep away from the “wild” woman, unless he was too shy to ask, and would accep marriage running slow. We celebrated the dance part of Sadie Hawkins on March 9, 1979, with “Hitch-Ups” per¬ formed at the dance. ABOVE: GETTING READY.

INDIANA a © a © § a § « « thirty-nine School Days The soft pastels of a calm spring day fill this section of the puzzle with calm tran¬ quility—the island of learn¬ ing in the sea of school. Despite the many dis¬ tractions of events, clubs, and sports, many of the stu¬ dents of Lowell High School maintain a grade average of 3.0 or better. It’s difficult to get good grades sometimes; students have jobs or other activities which subtract time from the total hours which they could use for study. There is a wide selection of courses available to the student. Arena scheduling allows the student to plan his schedule by putting his selected courses at the times he wants. These two factors combined make it easier than ever for a student to prepare himself for higher education. There are many incentives to aid the student in learn¬ ing; every year there is the Rotary Speech Contest and the American Legion Speech Contest. There is also an es¬ say contest sponsored by the Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution. For those stu¬ dents majoring in business and office skills, the Office Education Association holds ested in pursuing the work of the “real world. Auto mechanics, a variety of shop classes, consumer home economics, and various business courses are offered to students who wish to broaden their academic careers, as well as to prepare them for the life they must lead once they leave Lowell High. a contest eacn year, categories include Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, and job interview. Some courses are specially de¬ signed to help the student after he gets to college. Among these are College English, Advanced Science Seminar, Advanced Math Topics, and I.C.E. (Inter-Coopera¬ tive Career Education), which is a program in which the student can gain job experience in his chosen career while he is still in high school. For the student who wishes to pursue the vocational career. Lowell has exactly that particular program. The Industrial Educa¬ tion Department, along with the Vocational Department, affords numerous opportunities for prac¬ tical experiences to anyone inter¬ forty There is an old saying that per¬ haps might apply here: “The tree of knowledge hears the noblest fruit.” The saying has truth in that no one can go anywhere in life without some form of education. Education is important—to all of us. The pastels of the pieces grow darker in some areas, yet nearly fade away in others. Maybe this signifies our own individual lev¬ els of intelligence and compre¬ hension: it could signify the heights and depressions the stu¬ dent must endure. The pieces fit together remarkably well; the pic¬ ture they yield takes into account the need of becoming that for which one has strived.

Under the direction of Student Council, a carnival was organized in the Devils’ Commons on March 30, 1979. All clubs and organiza¬ tions were notified and asked to participate in sponsoring a booth and all profits were put into the respective club’s trea¬ sury. Booths ranged from a Moon Walk to Ring Toss, Jail, being dressed as a clown, Al- ley-Oops, Balloon Popping, and a host of others.

' •■«••• Inter-State Studio 1911 Loganberry Lane Crown Pt., IN 46307 Burce Penrod, Photographer School Clubs Pieces of every day life all fit together to form the puzzle of our high school years. Participating in a club adds a dash of color to the muted tones of the canvas of life. You don ' t have to be the president of a club to par¬ ticipate in one; it ' s the sense of belonging, the dedication, which holds a club together. A club sponsors projects, and the members enjoy working for a common goal. Club members are the crazy, zany people who sit in the Devil Commons for hours upon hours of lunch mods every week to sell candy or baked goods. They sponsor dances, and car washes (after which about half the members and the sponsor usually catch a cold!). Every year the clubs present a large collection of floats to be judged in the homecoming parade. Usually, the members of a club take a trip at the end of the school year to spend all the money they spent so much time earning. But whatever they do with their money, the club mem¬ bers always appear to have a good time. Usually everyone gets along with the rest of the club members. There are many clubs that a student of Lowell High School can join. A person with an interest in chess had the option of joining the Chess Club. Foreign Language students can learn about other cultures by joining the French, Spanish,, or Latin Clubs. Aspiring farmers can join the F.F.A.; those who wish to be.- come teachers can join F.E.A. “Life is a stage.” If you can act, you can be a member of the The¬ ater Arts Department. If you work hard and accumulate enough points, you may become a Thespian. These are only a few of the Clubs available to students of Lowell High School. Every club member becomes a small piece of the colorful section of the puzzle that is devoted to Clubs. After all, what is a club without its members? Students who think they may be interested in a career as educa¬ tors and try” the job by joining the Cadet Teacher. Many students have opted for “on the job train¬ ing” by becoming members of the work-study program. Inter-’ ninety-four related Co-operative Education (I.C.E.). Vocational Education is an integral part of Lowell High School, juniors and seniors who show interest in mechanics or other industrial areas have the option of joining the Vocational Industrial Auto Club (VICA). Likewise, those who want to de¬ velop perfect business and cleri¬ cal skills join Office Education Association (O.E.A.). Sunshine Club members have as their basis the desire to do good and cheery deeds for the less fortunate: on the contrary. Art Guild members show their talents by creating a variety of projects throughout the year—everything from ceramics to pottery to string art to paintings.

But if you come in second, the winner wins a turkey. That’s how the Astronomy Club is making its money this year for all the equip¬ ment they need for building tele¬ scopes. They build and make their own telescopes, and then test their workmanship by gazing at the stars. Last year was a very successful one for the club. Mr. Konopasek believes this year will be the same.

You panic and get a candle, but could you imag¬ ine a Little Theater lit with can¬ dles? No Way! That’s why the Light and Sound Club is working so hard to create light. The club does the lights for every produc¬ tion done in the Little Theater. That’s quite a bit, considering they have to get up on that very unsafe scaffold which no one else dares to climb on and set the lights. When you consider that two or three people get up there to set the lights, that puts a lot of pressure on those people. They lit the theater for the Fine Arts Revue, the “Curious Savage”, the Lowell Junior Miss Pageant, the annual musical, and the Spring Play. The people out on stage would be lost in the dark if it weren ' t for the Light and Sound Club. If there’s one thing that the club likes, it is members who give their all, and Terry Bauer, a freshman, has been working so hard that he looks to be a very promising light man in the future. Another very hard working young man is Don Crane. He has all the guts in the world to get up on the scaffold. Thanks to guys like these, there was a very suc¬ cessful Light and Sound Club this past year. The officers of the club are President Karol Carlson and Vice President Don Crane. LIGHT AND SOUND CLUB MEMBERS: (left to right) Row 1: Chris Marvel, Bob Hardy, Terry Bauer, Anita Rent, Jennifer Scheckel; Row 2: Steve Ryder, Richard Cunningham, Denise Wycoff, Kevin Bai¬ ley, Karol Carlson, Jeff Ford, Chris Morri¬ son, Don Crane, Victor Tutza.

Pep Club, and since then the club has climbed ahead. They keep the games full of enthusiasm. If you’ve gone to any of the games this year, then you have seen the crowd screaming for a victory. This is the second year for the Pep Club, and $10 is all you need to get into the club. This small fee gets each member into all home and away games. This year the L.H.S. Pep Club is probably the most active group in the school. So if you’re an active person, get active in the group that goes; join the Pep Club. RIGHT: SINK IT!

Strives For Foreign Program if ' Mg I JM |L (v J I ' m s HI. How many of you left the country or want to leave the country? To do that, besides all the red tape involved, you have to know a little about where you’re going! The people of other countries live in a different way than we do in America! Students of L.H.S. are learning the cultures and life¬ styles of other countries in A.F.S. This club teaches them all they want to know about foreign countries! The A.F.S. also spon¬ sors the exchange program so the club is always having money making projects year-round. The A.F.S. group is working hard, hoping to secure a foreign ex¬ change student.

Continues On—Job Training How many of you have tried to get a job during school and when you finally get hired you can’t handle both school until 3:30 and work until 10 p.m.? Well, if you want both school and a job, you’ll have to join the I.C.E. Program. With the I.C.E. Program, you go to school half a day either in the morning or after¬ noon, and work the other half. Al¬ though getting out of school for half a day isn ' t the main purpose of school, it is an opportunity. The true purpose stated by Mr. Martin is “to allow the students to ' try out’ an occupation.” There are 36 students enrolled in this club. All 36 members meet in school and discuss their jobs and all of the responsibilities that go along with having a job and how to handle money. They also have a class that deals with their occupation so that they will learn everything about their job. There’s one thing different in this club that isn’t in any other club. Each student has dual responsi¬ bility, school and work. I.C.E. is a sure way to gain responsibility and money all at the same time. RIGHT: I.C.E.

The main project of the Art Guild each year is the handmade decorations for the fifteen foot Christmas tree used for the an¬ nual Christmas Open House. Other projects this year were the Panther done for the Pep Club’s Homecoming bonfire, the wall mural for the Junior Chamber of Commerce Santa’s Workshop, and numerous other small art jobs about school. The Guild had one bake sale to raise money to purchase next year’s Christmas tree. Next year the Guild hopes to finance a membership visit to a nearby museum. ABOVE: ART GUILD.

In a building far off in the dis¬ tance there are guys working on nothing but cars and mechanics! They study very intensively the different parts of the car, so that they can fix any car at any time! They go to contests every year to show off their skills. The contests consist of VICA skill Olympics, trouble shooting, and written tests known as “hands on” skills! The VICA Club also does car re¬ pairs for students and faculty at a cost less than one would pay if he were to give his car to a garage mechanic. These fellows find the problem—and solve it!

The camera was no longer us¬ able and the film was smashed. Luckily, the Photography Club was there taking shots all night. The Photography club meets ev¬ ery week and discusses things concerning photography. Their biggest event took place at Crown Point’s Professional Color Lab. They went to observe the proce¬ dures of how to develop color pictures. With $2.00 you can be in the club. All you need is the money and the film. The cameras are supplied. They have fund raising projects to raise money to buy the cameras. So don’t miss the club and miss out on the art of taking pictures.

They are learning how to get along with others and one way of doing this is by having a teacher—elf rela¬ tionship. How would you like to be an elf? The F.E.A. Members love it, and it’s their biggest project each year. F.E.A. is a state-wide organiza¬ tion, with Nota Znika serving as the district president. Shari Foss will be next year’s vice-president. They attend state conventions at Purdue and an Area Conference at Manchester College. The group also gives out a scholarship of $300 to a deserving senior. The group is active, and the students of Lowell High know they’re alive. BELOW: F.E.A. MEMBERS. TOP ROW 1: (left to right) Margaret Sharkey.

These girls are the most enthused about wres¬ tling. Without their added moral support, screams, and cheers, the team would definitely have it rough. The Matmaids wear sweat¬ ers to add to the enthusiasm of wrestling. They have a lot to do, but they don’t stop until they get the job done. one hundred eleven Spanish Club Learns Its Culture ABOVE: SPANISH CLUB MEMBERS, ROW 1: (left to right) Ms. Denise Kurtis, Stephanie Brill, Clare Searle, Jane Ko- hanyi.

In a Mexican restaurant, a rowdy group of teens are caught having a good time. How can such a young group afford such an expensive dinner? Work, my friend, work! And that’s all they did all year round. They had bake sales and candy sales, but their biggest project each year i s selling flowers with a message. They like that fund raising project the best. It’s a different type of project that will stay a Spanish Club tradition for years to come. So this spring when flowers are being passed out, you’ll know it’s the Spanish students at work. If you like Mex¬ ican food and like working for it, join the Spanish Club. They’ll give you both. F.F.A. Making Itself Known If you are afraid to speak in front of others, then you should join the F.F.A. Club; they’ll teach you to speak in front of others so that you’ll never worry again about those eyes looking you in the face. The F.F.A. members learn how to speak in the public eye and how to assume civic responsi¬ bility. The club builds character development along with a better understanding of the people around them. The club raises money in a unique way: They have ag plots for their income, for a total of 27 acres. During Open House the F.F.A. had a bean guessing con¬ test and raffled off a variety of meat prizes. They also headed a nutrition campaign and answered a variety of nutrition questions in the school newspaper. The 30 members of the club have come a long way. However, with the help of Ann Little and Art Lindahl, along with their sponsor, Mr. Husemen, the enthu¬ siastic group is proving to be a successful club this year. ABOVE: FUTURE FARMERS of AMERICA.

They’ll be so in¬ volved with the meet that nothing can take their minds off of what they are doing. These students are eager to be by the pool with our swimming team; they’re the team’s biggest fans. one hundred fourteen Choir Participates In Many Concerts Many years ago, man figured out that music is one of the best ways to communicate with each other. The Lowell choir believes that fully and tries to live up to that ideal. The Choir has three concerts a year, the Christmas Concert, Spring Concert, and District Festi¬ val. The district festival is where choirs of this community get to¬ gether in one of the schools and sing as one complete choir. It’s really a mass choir singing to¬ gether. They also have a second festival for limited members only. Twelve members from Lowell went, and Jeff Ford came back and was accepted into the All- State Choir from that festival. BELOW: CHOIR.

Girls at Lowell High School have been looking at that football for years until this year, 1978. Coach Flutka took it upon himself to organize up a club called the Gridettes and teach these girls a little something about football so they too could enjoy the game and know what’s going on. Each girl has a locker buddy, which means she decorates a team member’s locker and fills it with candy, cookies, and cake. But most important they try to build up moral support! one hundred sixteen Each of the girls has a special job, one is to take statistics, an¬ other to keep track of points— who played what play and what player played; who fumbled and who scored and the rest of the girls chased footballs along the sidelines.

BELOW: KEEPING IN RHYTHM. Band students (left to right) Randy Oberc, Dave Gerst, Steve Gerst, and Doug Wietbrock practice their parts. How often do you listen to mu¬ sic, either on the radio or your fa¬ vorite album? These musicians are pros and have gone through the hard work that some of the students of Lowell High will go through to reach the professional stages of music. Music is one of the toughest majors at any college anywhere. Many do not make it, but those who do have lots of competition when they do get there. The Lowell High Band isn’t composed of pros, but they are practicing. “Practice Makes Per¬ fect” as the saying goes. Besides practicing in the band, there’s a stage band known as the Jazz Band. The music isn’t classical in stage band; it’s more of a Jazz Rock style and the band students love it. The band loves going to see musicals and this year they’re selling candy to get enough money to see a Musical in the spring. The band starts their sea¬ son with marching and ends on graduation day. “L” Club Reorganizes bi 1 ttesSSf _ WHmm 9 A . “L” Club.

The board includes: Sue Bedoian, Mickey Black, Rod Gwyn, Tom Kacius, Karen Kersey, Mark Langen, Dana Llewellyn, Jeff Rosenbauer, Su¬ san Sharkey, and Lori White. This year’s club helped con¬ cessions at basketball games and the Lowell Relays. The club tries to encourage participation, recog¬ nizes athletic achievement, and strives to help the school and community in any way they can. Next year the club will have a slate of officers. Eligibility for running for office includes earn¬ ing 2 or more letters in any sport. one hundred eighteen • • • Trackettes’ Jobs More Than Stats The track team would be lost without the help of the Tra¬ ckettes. Those girls help to do all the little odd jobs, which really do add up in the end. They do things like measure the long jumps, keep score for the field events, and also get stuck with a little secretarial work on the side. The 34 girls don’t mind the work; as a matter of fact they vol¬ unteered for the job. They want to be the biggest moral builders, give the guys all the support in the world, and most of all, they want to keep things going smoothly, so the team can con¬ centrate on the sport and not the things going on around them. Thanks to the Trackettes, the track team can be more efficient. ABOVE: 1978-79 TRACKETTES. ROW 1: Angie Raby, Kris Kirgan. Angie Smith. Sherry Swetland, Demi Angelidis.

These girls went to camp in July at I.U. to get themselves ready for the fall. They started practicing in August and kept on practicing un¬ til March. Every Tuesday and Thursday you’ll find them hard at work from 3:30 until 5:00. From 6DO p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The varsity girls stay and practice with the five new guys on our cheer¬ leading team. The guys do such things as help the girls for the sink-its, the pyramids, and the floor cheers. The deep voices of those guys echo throughout the gym and they seem to get the guys in the crowd cheering. The cheerleading team raises its own money by working hard; they also fill the candy machines for a few cents. There have been generous donations made by Mrs. Brown who made the conference banners, Mr. Joe Kormendy who donated the wooden Devil head, the art department, and the boost¬ ers who sent the girls to I.U. camp.

The students in the Student Council aren’t on the council for the popularity or the glory; they’re on the council to get things done—things the students of Lowell High want done. If any¬ one has complaints or arguments, the student council hears about it first. If they can’t help, the stu¬ dents go to a higher personnel. The student council does every¬ thing going down at Lowell, you’ll know the council ' s still on the go. Incidentally, did you help cele¬ brate Baskin Robbins 31st Birth¬ day? That was set-up by the Stu¬ dent Council. Also, the Fall Fling—“You Should Be Danc¬ ing”—all of these were sponsored by our Student Council. Lowellian—Not All Fun And Games What makes a yearbook? It’s not the school full of students. It’s a dedicated staff. That’s the staff that came to every homeroom and asked, “Do ya want to buy a yearbook?” It’s the same staff that hounds you from early Septem¬ ber to June to buy a yearbook. We had to have pictures to pick from before we could put them in the yearbook, and our student, but professional photographer, Don Wleklinski, always seemed to get such unique shots. With the great help of Krly Mann and Beth Bauer, we put these unique shots into great layouts which made our yearbook something of which to be proud. We also had writers who supplied us with the stories behind the pictures for every club and event. We became a very close staff, and after working day and night to meet deadlines, we naturally became as close as a family. Our family this year has done a great job in getting it together. But without the help of one person, Ms. Hodakowski, we could never have gotten our feet off the ground. She got us enthused with her enthusiasm, and the results were positive. The pressure of deadlines were a part of our lives—there was simply no such thing as not getting it done, even if it meant staying late into the evening. It’s an experience we’ll never forget.

A favor¬ ite is always fun to do, but with¬ out the hard work and help of the choreographers, Stacy Anderson and Jeff Ford, the group wouldn’t have been able to pull it off. On every Monday night for about two hours, the swing choir learns new dances and the words to new songs. After learning the song and the dance, the toughest part comes—getting it together so that the group looks like one entity. The type of music isn’t Ted Nu¬ gent, but it’s not Mozart either. It’s easy listening and easy rock, the type of singing all may enjoy. The Swing Choir feels they have to have music that the audiences can relate to. They are relating in a very good manner, which is proving to be their biggest success. ABOVE: SWING CHOIR.

Actors don’t stay on stage all the time; they travel too, and the Sunshine Club has some actors who are traveling to the hospitals to perform a Christmas play for all the kids who are sick in bed. 18 members of the club are constantly trying to cheer up people wanting only for them to enjoy life as a good thing that can be enjoyed. These members want to know if anyone is sick from our school, because they are the people who send our cards to those who are sick. They’ll do anything to get the Lowell High students full of pep and joy, so cheer up or the Sunshine Club will come up and heat you up with their sunny smiles of joy. one twenty four Latin Club—A Few Do A Lot 22 members of the Latin club went to Chicago to see the city swallowed up by a volcano! The group came home with much knowledge about the entire situ¬ ation, of how the city was cov¬ ered and of how it got it’s name. Ask anyone how the trip went and they tell you in great detail. The group also went on a plea¬ sure trip, to Great America. The entire 22 members tried very hard to make that trip, who wouldn’t? After a hard working year the club has made it a tradition to go to Great America to relax and en¬ joy. “Enjoy Latin Club”!

The members of N.H.S. will sit in on the class, listen to the lesson, and when questions are asked, they will be individually answered by the N.H.S. member. This should give the student a better understanding of that cer¬ tain subject. To be inducted into the N.H.S. you must keep a 3.5 grade average or you can be dropped from the club membership. The members of the group are so busy and active that they con¬ tinually keep working harder and harder the more you see them. These hard working students needed a break so they had a bake sale, sold candy, and spon¬ sored a dance to have one night off for themselves at a musical of their choice. The N.H.S. group will never cease to amaze people with their sincere hard work. We need more people who are like these students, sincere and hard working. Cadet Teachers—Learning By Helping Students of Lowell High who want to be teachers when they graduate are given a chance to live their dreams in reality. All they have to do is become a cadet teacher and help teachers at ei¬ ther the elementary or the middle school. What they usually do is help students individually or some¬ times in groups. This real experi¬ ence enables him to see what kind of patience is needed in the teaching profession.

The Lowell High O.E.A. group goes every year and shows off its business talents. They must first enter the district contest where all may try out. 25- 30 members who placed 1, 2, or 3rd at district then go to state. The group isn’t all work and no play; the group also goes to visit the residents in St. Anthony’s. The group consists of business, work, fun time, and love for others.

Club—Raffles $850 Clock If you bought a raffle ticket from the Industrial Ed. Club, you had a chance to win a student-as¬ sembled grandfather clock. The Ind. Ed. Club got together to build this clock to raffle it off for money to put in their funds for the scholarship they give away each year to the most outstanding member of the club. The clock, whose retail cost is $850, was raf¬ fled off on December 22, 1978. The members of the club are those who are in any industrial class. All their meetings are an¬ nounced in advance so that all may attend. The enthusiasm is so rampant that those around wonder what has gotten a hold of, them. Don’t worry; it’s just a little self enthusi¬ asm that’s become their fever of the year.

Whenever weather permits, the Rocket Club has launches, where they launch their rockets high into the sky. They need to have good launches to get into competition. If the launcher has a good record of launches, he or she will receive a badge. All the members in the club buy and make their own rockets. The building of a rocket consists of one hour. Soon our Rocket Club members will be launching a real rocket and making history right here in Lowell.

It was only weeks after school started, that work on the third an¬ nual Fine Arts Revue began. The students did a fabulous job of pleasing the crowd with their tal¬ ented musical acts, dance rou¬ tines, and comedy skits. Mr. Charles Brady, the new Thespian leader, had the most difficult job—cutting the acts. The Thespians also helped in the musical, MAME, and took part in something new this year, a comedy revue entitled, “That Comedy Thing.” The spring play, M.A.S.H., was directed by a senior Thespian, Karol Carlson, and the play was chosen by the Thespians.

C 1 ■ ■ one hundred thirty-one Chess Club—Strives for State Recognition What are you doing after school on Tuesdays and Thurs¬ days? If you aren’t doing anything and you’re a girl or an under¬ classman, the Chess Club needs you. They are in Miss Waters’ room on those days planning their strategies on how to beat the opponent. There are two teams of four and they are ranked 1,2,3, or 4. The 1st or best player plays the other team’s 1st player, and so on. Regionals are important be¬ cause they get the team to state, which was the team’s biggest goal this year. Although they didn’t make it to state last year, they have high hopes for this year’s regional. If you like to play games such as chess, then come on out and help Lowell’s Chess Club pull off another victory.

It’s someone from school, a member of the French Club sell¬ ing cheese and sausage. An hour later you go to have your car washed and it’s the French Club who is sponsoring it. Now you are probably wondering what it is they want so bad to work so hard for. They want to go to Canada!! Who doesn’t? They also sold candy and had bake sales to raise money. All the members of the group are extremely enthusiastic about the trip, and for the year 1978-79, all Lowell has heard is “will you help support?” from the French Club. The French Club will surely go to Canada with all the eager student-help they are receiving. BELOW: FRENCH CLUB.

There must also be a teacher present to instruct them. The teachers generally can be found when students need them, and they are always willing to help students with their work. Teachers, however, do far more than teach; many of them are sponsors of clubs, organizations, or are involved in promoting athletics.

It is also possible for clubs and organizations to hold meetings during the school day; this Activ¬ ity Period was designed jointly with the Curriculum Comittee and the Student Council. Stu¬ dents are issued passes from the respective sponsor and this al¬ lows students to attend club meetings during the school day.

Add to that the last thirty seconds of a basket¬ ball game where the score is only one point in our favor— and the other team has the ball. Combine and add to this all the tense moments of the other competitive sports played in high school. The end result is a cross section of the puzzle which varies in intensity from the highest peak of triumph to the low¬ est pit of agony. There are many sports for both male and female stu¬ dents to become involved in at Lowell High School. For boys, there is football, bas¬ ketball, wrestling, track, swimming, tennis, golf, and cross country. Sports open to girls are golf, gymnastics, track, swimming, tennis and basketball. Between the schedule of girls ' sports and that of boys’ sports, there is little room left for anything else. The essence of sports isn’t entirely winning or losing, but rather, it’s the attitudes and attempts of the players that count in the end. For example, a winner is ready to experiment, and try some¬ thing new; a loser would rather let someone else do it. A winner can admit his mistakes, while a loser tries to lay the blame on someone else. A winner makes an attempt to solve his problems; a loser would rather avoid his. A winner can be de¬ pended upon to come through in a crisis, but a loser isn ' t reliable. A winner can find his faults and try to correct them, while a loser tries to excuse his faults. A win¬ ner can barn from his superiors; a loser, however, tries to know more than his superiors. A win¬ ner is ready to change old cus¬ toms or traditions for better meth¬ ods, but a loser sticks to old ways and refuses to change. The differences between a win¬ ner and a loser are easy to deter¬ mine in an individual. Lowell High School does not have many losers. Granted, not all sports offered to students result in individual merit, and attention; because of the nature of some sports, a team effort is imminent. Hence, the glory is attributed to a team rather than to an individual. The one hundred fitly important thing to rate is not. however, whether a team wins or loses; undoubtedly, victory is the desired result, but sportsmanship in a defeatist situation is in¬ dicative of what athletics, and more importantly, athletes are all about. Sports mean exercise: they mean rest; they are play to many and work for a few—they are challenging and often times, un¬ fortunately. heartbreaking. It’s no doubt that the pieces which form this section of the puzzle range from bright colors of triumph to tlismal grays of de¬ spair. Because of its complexity, this section of the puzzle, which is a kaleidoscope of ever-shifting colors, is now complete. The best exercise in the en¬ tire world is running. Every day you’ll see someone run¬ ning to keep fit or in shape. Today jogging is probably one of the biggest sports around. It’s a sport that takes much de¬ termination and patience. You are the boss as the runner. No one is there to push you or make you do it. It’s strictly up to you. The Lowell High School Cross Country team has that exact feeling about their run¬ ning. They started last August and ran 12 miles a day. They would mix up running skills with sprints and long distance. They are probably the only students in L.H.S. who are really in shape. There are five menbers on the team—Mike Schuttinga, Kieth Umlauf, Kelly Pierce, team captain; Jim Ringas and Don Childress. The season record doesn’t indicate the to¬ tal spirit of the group. Mr. Mar¬ tin in commenting mentioned, “I’ve never seen a team as close as this one.” A team with that much concern has to have something. They do. Jim Ringas, who ran in 13.42, broke the school record of three years ago. Numbers weren’t prominent, but the individual effort and discipline were outstanding. 1978-79 Cross Country Lowell Opp. Rensselaer 47 16 N. Newton Invit. 8th place L.

When losing their key players, the graduating se¬ niors, they could only think of a hard year ahead of them. The LHS Boys’ tennis team had one remaining key player left, Mickey Black. For a team of rookies, a record of five wins and ten losses is very good. The key to a good year is key players, and the key to good players is experi¬ ence. The young team gained much experience this past year. They also gained outstanding players. Two outstanding players are sophomores, Tom Grant and Jeff Farney. Not only did they play outstanding tennis, but Tom was voted Most Improved, and Jeff was voted for having the best record and being the most aggres¬ sive player. Another outstanding player, Mickey Black, who played his last tennis match with LHS this year, was voted Most Valu¬ able Player. Experience is their key to next year’s success.

Out of the eight, John Bochstahler and Keanan Kintzel went on to state com¬ petition in 3 events. John Bochstahler broke two pool records at sectionals which enabled him to go to state.

Individually the team’s strong¬ est performers were Joe Phillips, Andy Gallenkamp, and Mark La- ngen.

Johnson went on to semi-state competition and captured the runner-up title there. It was only in state competition that he suc¬ cumbed to defeat. The road to the top wasn’t easy. Beginning at conference level, Lowell had many who placed: Tim Johnson—1st; Rodney Gwyn and Tom Kacius—2nd; Tim Kacius and Charlie Langston— 3rd; Jim Boyles—4th. In the Go- one hundred seventy To State Competition shen Tourney, Tom Kacius was victorious at 105 lbs.; Tim John¬ son won the Logansport In¬ vitational Champ at 145 lbs. In Sectional competition, the Lowell Wrestlers captured the “Team Champ” title by edging Crown Point by one point. Lowell led all the teams with a score of 158V . Besides Tim Johnson, other re¬ gional winners were: Tim Kacius (126 lbs.), Rodney Gwyn (138 lbs.), both 3rd place winners and Tom Kacius (105 lbs.) 4th place winner. The wrestlers engaged in a tough schedule. There’s no doubt about that. But then again, only in struggling does one taste the fruits of victory.

The JV Wrestling Team had a very successful season because of hard work in practice and putting it to use during each individual match. A strong group of fresh¬ men filled in at five different weight levels which enabled the JV to have even a stronger team and also helped them to gain in¬ valuable experience. Placing 1st in JV Tourney were: David Smith, Roger Dulin, and Steve Whaley. Individual leaders were: Roger Dulin, with Dual record: 10 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie; Larkin Whitlock, with Dual record: 9 wins, 3 losses; Tim Todd, with Dual record: 8 wins, 3 losses; and Steve Whaley, with Dual record: 8 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie. Freshmen Wrestlers Build Program The best way to describe Low¬ ell’s Freshmen Wrestling team is to look at its purpose—to build a program that will help develop athletes who are skilled as well as competitive. As a result of this, a lot of train¬ ing and practice is the basis for a freshman wrestling program. Wrestlers are given a chance to work out with the JV and Varsity wrestlers. If more than one per¬ son is wrestling in a particular weight class, challenges are held to determine the better of the two wrestlers. This past year the freshmen wrestlers were hampered by in¬ clement weather which resulted in cancelling of the 7th Freshmen Conference Meet. RIGHT: HEY, THAT ' S MY LEG!

Frosh Baseball Battle Weather Even though the freshmen didn’t have a winning season, the fact that 27 freshmen created a team and began a building pro¬ gram merits a lot of credit. Prior to this ' 79 season, there was no freshmen program, according to Coach Bill Berger. However, the J.V. Squad has shown to be a promising team. They finished with a .500 season and will be a tremendous asset to the varsity team next year. This was the J.V.’s first winning season in five years. Both squads are still growing in numbers and strength. 1979 Frosh Baseball 1979 J.V. Baseball K.V.

Before a crowd can hear these comments from the players and coach, a lot of tireless effort is put forth “behind the scenes.” From as early as the 2nd week of January, the players con¬ dition in weight training. March and April are dedicated to in¬ tensive practice followed by April, May, and June playing games. No doubt this year ' s Red Devils were greatly hampered by inclement weather. Even with this the Red Devils were victorious in their first sec¬ tional game against Hebron; next they had to battle against Crown Point. This year’s team’s strengths centered around good speed, ex¬ perience and solid pitching. Coach Jim Dermody believes that two major areas of improvement need to be in hitting and mental concentration. Unfortunately next year’s team will be minus five seniors—Jim Forrester, John Allie, Jim O’Drobinak, Keith Hall, and Ken Barman. However, with the returning lettermen juniors and two soph¬ omores already on varsity, the Red Devils have a .500 season in the offing. one hundred seventy-six 1979 Varsity Baseball Lowell Op p.

There ' s no doubt that they put forth the necessary effort during each game. However, as in any team sport, team scores are hardly indicative of what really happened during any ball game or any season. The A-team fin¬ ished with a 6-9 season; B-team finished with a 3-10 record. Perhaps the greatest hindering factor this season was not that the boys did not play well during the games, but that they needed more practice to better themselves for the season. Coach Bill Berger seemed convinced that if practice becomes a daily routine, positive efforts will begin to emerge. ABOVE: 1978-79 FRESHMAN A ' TEAM BOYS ' BASKETBALL.

Their only flaw was that they didn ' t continue to work out on their basketball skills over the summer. This was one of the aspects of the JV team’s downfall this year. Another aspect is the lack of Sophomore participation on the team. But with problems sur¬ rounding the team, a few boys still managed to come out shining. These boys are: Scott Knight, Chuck Earley, Troy Knorr, and Chris Richards. These boys worked in sincerity for the team’s benefit and through their hard work the team and the players showed that hard work goes a long way. TOP RIGHT: JV BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM.

This upped their overall record for ' 79 to 8-15. In recapp¬ ing the season Lowell placed 3rd in the Holiday Tourney. Mickey Black, captain, was chosen as a member of the Holiday Tourney Team as well as the All-Confer¬ ence team, along with being awarded MVP award. The season Red Devil award was coveted by Jeff Wagner; Mike Miller, also a captain, received conference Honorable Mention and was cho¬ sen by the Hammond Times as a member of the sectional team. Jeff Rosenbauer’s merits are no less. The Gary Post Tribune chose Jeff for their sectional team, as did the Hammond Times. There’s no doubt that the season was a tough one, but the efforts paid off.

Among the achievements of the team were having Denise Rendant chosen as an All-Conference player and Karen Kersey, a soph¬ omore, awarded an honorable mention. The awards become even more meaningful when one considers that Lowell ' s Girls’ Bas¬ ketball team is the smallest in the conference.

Girls’ Basketball is coming around. This year was a true sign of the JV team’s determination to win. They work and keep work¬ ing for a victory. They have had such an impressive year that their coach, Ms. Kathy Nelson, thinks that next year, 1980, Lowell High will see a championship team. She is excited a nd enthused with their skills and can’t wait to see them on a varsity team. Two of their losses were by one point, and they finished first in conference in a game with Mun¬ ster who had a 5-1 Conference Record. JV Football—Individuals Make A Team The JV Football team at L.H.S. set a goal at the beginning of the season to win more than half of the games. They had a lot of work ahead of them, but it only made them work harder. They may not have reached that goal, but they were never out of a game. They always had a chance to win. In fact, two games were lost in over¬ time. One loss was to Griffith, and the other was to Crown Point, which was in double overtime. Even though the JV team lost five games and won three, you have to remember some of the players played on the varsity team Friday nights, and would wake up Satur¬ day morning to play in the JV games. Some of the guys who did this were Scott Knight, Greg Ship- ley, Rich DuBord, Tony Wicker, Scott Steward. The team was de¬ termined, and with that determi¬ nation they were bound to reach success. Their season ended with a 3-5 record. 1978-79 JV K.V. Highland Munster Griffith Lake Central Griffith (Soph.)

Coach Ron Pierce enjoyed coach¬ ing and noted, “It’s hard to have a good attitude on a losing team, but easy to have a good attitude on a winning team.” The guys went out and worked as hard as they could; they did the best they could, and that’s all that can be expected from any athlete.

The pro teams get their top players from high school teams which are composed of individual top-notch players. As with any high school team, a team is only as good as its individuals. Such was the case with Lowell’s football team this year. Although the team lost every game as a team, they won every game individually. The key play¬ ers of Lowell High School were; Joe Phillips, 1978 Offensive Player; Ron Swetland, 1978 De¬ fensive Player; Todd Tilton, De¬ fensive Linesman; Keith Hall, De¬ fensive Back; Rick Bradbury, Offensive Linesman; Joe Phillips, one hundred eighty-six ABOVE LEFT: THE ROARING RED DEV¬ ILS.

Generally, non-varsity sports’ teams are considered a part of the “feeder system.” The purpose of athletics at these elementary and inexperienced levels is to provide interested students with all the necessary techniques and skills which are needed for competition on the varsity level. Throughout the season, the Freshmen Football team was in competition against teams of much strength, much ability, and generally larger numbers. Our team had these characteristics and because of a lot of individual determination and individual skill, next year’s football squads can look forward to a team who will give its best for a victory. one hundred eighty-eight J.V. Volleyball Depends on Strong Moral Support August 15 was the beginning of a very hard season for the J.V. Volleyball team. They worked hard practicing for two hours a day, and sometimes it would be a double session for the team with morning practice which would total four hours a day. The J.V. team plays the same time the Var¬ sity plays, so their schedule is as tough as the Varsity’s. The team set a goal to have a .500 season, but they were unsuc¬ cessful in attaining that goal. Even though they didn’t win many games, they were very en¬ thusiastic about their team and kept up their morale. 1978-79 JV Volleyball Lowell Opp. River Forest W L North Newton L W Hobart L W Hanover L w ..

Lowell plays the toughest sched¬ ule in the area, so the girls really knew what they were up against. “They seemed to play a better game when playing a tougher team,” remarked Coach Pantos. That made it evident that they knew who was the tougher team. Coach Pantos also commented, “They could’ve won more of the games”. The outstanding players of the varsity team are: Dana Llewellyn, Diane Genge, Rona Lukusik, and Patty Gerner. It’s not just out¬ standing players, but it’s the team that makes the year successful; the team was successful against our roughest opponents.

This was the last time that they would be returning to High School after a summer vacation. This multi¬ tude of students belong to the Class of 1979. They were the new group of seniors accepting their new titles with pleasure, anxiety, and confidence. For three years they have climbed learning more about life as they did so. They have waited to be known as se¬ niors and to be “tops of Secon¬ dary Education. At different parts of the year, many realized that their high school days were passing by. They began to get involved like never before. Their freedom would never be at the climax that it was in high school. They would never have as many opportunities to express themselves or do things the way they wanted and with whom. Whole To Fill In the Missing The seniors of Lowell had no idea what awaited them when they entered high school for the last time on that warm day of August. Yet, hopefully, they began to fill in the things that they never had the opportunity to do be¬ fore. They began to fill in the missing pieces. one hundred ninety-three Janet Bachman Kevin Bailey Tammy Baldwyn Ken Barman Pat Barnhill Carrie Barr John Barrus Colleen Bastin Beth Bauer Susan Bedoian Melanie Berwick Mickey Black Wendy Blanchard Mike Borkowski one hundred ninety-four Kim Carter Sal Cesario Bob Clark Chris Cole Joan Cramer Doug Cripe Dean Cross David Crumrine Tami Dadlow Theresa Daley one hundred ninety-five Rick Bradbury Stephanie Brill Melissa Brotherton Lori Brummett Jill Buehrle Gail Burgess Steven Burgess Julie Burns Jim Byers Karol Carlson Ray Daugherty Michael Dolberry Tom Dougherty Rick Drever Mark Dvorscak Teri Elliott Eric Ellis Lizanne Emory Karen Erikson Ed Eubank Diana Fewkes Donna Fewkes Tammy Fields Mike Finn Carla Flatt one hundred ninety-six Gary Flelcher Mark Frahm Patty Fry Alan Furmankiewicz Andy Gallenkamp James Galliher Rosina Garcia Diane Genge Patti Gerner Kris Golumbeck Dave Goodman Duane Greer Rodney Gwyn Cindy Hales Keith Hall Robert Hall Barb Hamm Cathy Harding Scott Hayden Daniel Heiser one hundred ninety-seven ■ Linda Herlitz Gary Holst Carolyn Hoover Jack Huber Kim Hudson Susan Hulsey Don Herz Cindy Holcomb Lori Holder Tina Holloway Martin Huseman Linda Husiar Jack Hyatte Steve Iliff Bob Jensen Jay Jones Patrice Joseforsky John Juriss Tim Kacius Paul Keilman one hundred ninety-eight Bill Krick Michael Kuruzovich Delver Kutemeier Mark Langen Charles Langston Angie Laszlo Helen Lepper Arthur Lindahl Ann Little Carol Little |ulie Little Vicki Littlepage Dana Llewellyn Kathy Love Mark Luebcke one hundred ninety-nine Denise Luke Ruby Maas Rudy Maas Kraig Maatman Robert Majdak Louis Meltzer |anet Myers Sheri Meyers |ohn Middleton Pam Milde Liz Marconi Jodi Marshall Debbie Mayer Jay McCormick Jeff McGinley Mike Miller Linda Minion Carl Mink Yvonne Murrell Becky Neeley two hundred Carrie Nehring Tim Nelson Patricia Nichols Sherri Nord Dawn Norton Anthony Novak Jim O ' Drobinak Jim Outler I off Parker ,ori Pelton Scott Peters Jim Peterson Mike Peterson Joe Phillips Kelly Pierce Sherrie Pilenak Patty Plews Mark Powers Kathy Radaszewski two hundred one Bonnie Regnier Denise Rendanl Linda Renn Denise Rollins Peggy Roney Alice Savich David Schwimmer two hundred two Dean Richardson Buddy Roadruck Laura Roberts Mark Ruge Cathy Roy Kent Reed Kim Reese Anita Rent John Rosinko Clare Searle Tammy Richards Ed Sharkey Susan Sharkey Blake Sheets Tim Sheets Michael Sheffield Karen Singleton Susan Smith jan Snyder Tim Solic Richard Spry Mike Stinnett Julie Stoller Bob Strickland Jean Stull Ron Swetland Corrine Sylvie Joe Talarek Kevin Tappan John Tarr Patty Todd two hundred three Richard Thomas Todd Tilton Steve Traficanti Colleen Tunnell Don Watkins Lori White Teri Wicker Ron Wierzba Shane Wietbrock Marcia Williams Cheryl Wilson Don Wleklinski Nota Znika Valorie Zuckley two hundred four § § i | i i i i } i | | | i | i i • i I l i i - f t I i • | • g g • t 3 3 3 i X g i i I g i g I i i i = 3 i 3 i ! f COLE ALEXIS Chess Club 10,11.12; Devils ' Advocate 11.12; Math and Science Club 12; National Honor Society 10.11.12; French Club 9.10; Wrestling 10; Football 10; Basketball 9.10.11.

What’s even worse is trying to do an even better job the second time around. That’s what we on the Lowellian Staff were faced with this past fall. One of our editors, Don Wlek- linski, attended the Journalism In¬ stitute at Indiana University. He came back with a multitude of fresh ideas. But then we all know that ideas by themselves don’t make a yearbook. A list of staffers don’t make a yearbook. Mounds of supplies won’t even do the trick. But let’s hasten forward with our story ... We were two months into the year; we had begun to accumulate files of pictures—an alphabetical organization centered around a catalog idea sounded appealing. The more we attempted to orga¬ nize the idea, the more dis¬ organized it seemed. Doomed but dedicated, we brainstormed some more. Having gotten accustomed to liking things organized, we felt the need for a theme that would help keep us in tact, but still al¬ low us ample room for creativity and freedom to express a variety of moods using pictures, copy, headlines, and captions. As with most creative spurts, the energy comes at the most in¬ opportune moments. Such was the story of how we arrived in choosing the theme, PIECES. We were convinced that with the di¬ versity and variety of students, activities, events, clubs, and sports, none other could be more two hundred sixteen Dedication conducive to being highly appropriate. Soon after, we set up a sales campaign to “push our product.” Nearly a dozen sellers aided to boost our sales to meet last year’s quota of 725 books. A few more staffers stayed those long nights threatened by inclement weather to meet those all-important dead¬ line dates. And herein is our answer as to what (i.e. who) makes a yearbook. First of all, students make a yearbook. Not just the ones on the staff, but also the ones who pur¬ chase our books. The community makes a yearbook, for without their support, we would be noth¬ ing. Clubs make a yearbook by letting us know about various events and activities that go on during the year. Sports make a yearbook. They add color and ex¬ citement to our book. All of these pieces come together to form a book that really tells what high school life is really all about. Thanks is a small word that really can’t express the apprecia¬ tion that we feel for so many people. The biggest thank you, of course, would go to our adviser Ms. Hodakowski. If it weren’t for her abounding energy, infinite pa¬ tience, and slave-driving quali¬ ties, we never could have thought of a Lowellian this year. She was there every night with us and al¬ ways kept us busy. The next thank you would go to George Kingsley, our ever-faithful Year¬ book Representative. He provided us with advice, new ideas, sup¬ plies, and once even pizza. Thanks, George. The list goes on. Miss Nemeth, thanks for the typewriter; coaches, thanks for your help in providing information about all of the players, games, and scores. Thanks to the community for their ad support; faculty, custo¬ dians, and administration: thanks for putting us with our ram¬ bunctious staff; Don, thanks for last minute film developing; most of all, thanks to the dedicated few who stuck with us night after night, even into June. The 1978-79 Lowellian was created by Lowell High School Students who donated their time and energy freely in trying to capture the spirit of school life. Publishing and printing was done by Herff Jones Yearbooks. Montgomery, Alabama, under the direction of representative George Kingsley, Jr. Our Credits To The Following . . .
