Extra-curricular activities are one of the keys to Lowell High School. They help to fill in the gap between high school days and classes. After seven hours of such classes as biology, tri¬ gonometry, government, foreign languages, or typing a break in routine is essential to the well being of the students. These activities can come in many different shapes. They can happen during school, such as Spirit Week, or Pep Sessions, other events take many months to organize, such as plays or big dances like the Prom. There are always plenty of activities going on for the student who wants to be entertained. There are sports events nearly ev¬ ery night, dances, plays, or club meetings. Every so often, some¬ thing new comes up that can be a big event if students get in¬ volved. This year one big new event was the Blood Drive. This years blood drive was organized, sponsored and run by the Stu¬ dent Council, and it was a big success. Student Council President Carol Ohlenkamp says the council intends to make the Blood Drive an annual event here at Lowell High School. Donations were primarily for a ju nior student, Ted Handy and for the son of one of our teachers, Mr. Kussy. Both of these boys have leuke¬ mia, and the students desire to contribute to these boys made the drive a huge success. Another new attraction at L.H.S. was voter registration for Stu¬ dent Council Elections. By having the students register, it helped to increase their awareness of the need for participation and the responsibility each and every person of age has to his and her country. All of these activities help students learn to open new doors and seek new and exciting challenges.
