LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL 2051 E. Commercial Ave. Lowell, Indiana In My Life There are places , remember all my life. Though some have changed. Some are dead and some are living. Some have gone and some remain. All these places had their moments .Sports 40 With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I’ve loved them all .Student Life 4 But of all these friends and lovers .Album 134 There is no one compares with you .Seniors 82 And these mem’ries lose their meaning. When I think of love as something new. Though I know I’ll never lose affection For people and things that went before .Clubs 170 I know I’ll often stop and think about them. In my life I’ll love you more. Lennon McCartney In My Life 1 In My Life ... 2 People and things There Are Places I Remember .. People and things 3 Student Life “In my life I’ve loved them all.” That is all the memories of the people, places, and things of our life in high school. If a student takes advantage of the many activities offered at Lowell High, he will have much to remember, and the four long years of making memories will play an important part in his individual development. Participating in these activities, students find the importance of friendship, teamwork, and learning to enjoy themselves. There are many kinds of extra-curricular activities available at Lowell High. These activi¬ ties enhance the student’s life, and valuable lessons, which cannot be found in an English or Chemistry textbook, are taught. Students may participate in activities which take place during school such as Spirit Week, Pep Sessions, and Convocations, or they may join a sport, club, or audition for a play. Of course, a student may just want to enjoy attending the many sports events, dances, and special events organized by the administration. In any form, the activities of a student during high school help him to learn and expand his knowledge of life; but most of all, the activities help create many memories. “In my life I’ve loved them all.” Home¬ coming ... “Magic” “Magic” was definitely evident at Homecoming this year. The whole school was decorated by each class and was filled with spirit. The O.E.A. sold balloons at the game which were released when the “Devils” scored their first touchdown. During half time the 1980 Homecoming Queen, Ronna Lukasik, was crowned by for¬ mer Homecoming Queen, Sheri For¬ ester. In addition to Ronna Lukasik, there were six other candidates for the title. The candidates were: sen¬ iors, Lisa Brown and Mary Williams; juniors, Cindy Berner and Julie Brun¬ ner; sophomore, Denise Smith and freshman, Julie Hall. These girls were chosen by their respective class members to compete for the title of Homecoming Queen. After the game, the Homecoming Court danced to the song “Magic ” sung by Olivia Newton-John. The dance was led by Ronna Lukasik and Powder Puff King, Skip Henson. All these activities proved to be “Magic” for everyone.

The night of October 1 began with a small, but colorful parade and end¬ ed in a 16-16 tie in the Powder Puff game. The freshmen-sophomore team squared off against the junior- senior team. Both groups were ready for a good fight, and they played with real enthusiasm and determination. Unfortunately the game ended in a frustrating tie. However, this didn’t dampen the festive Homecoming spirit that was shared by all. An NBC cameraman photographs spirit week activities for Channel 5’s “On Q” program.

On November 14, 15, and 16 the fall play, “Gold in the Hills ” was presented. This play also known as “The Dead Sister’s Secret”, included a hero, played by George Schmelter, and heroine, played by Diana Jazwinski, and a dastardly villain, played by Chris Morrison. The play also included live bowery entertainment by dance hall girls and bowery boys, and even a knock down, drag-out, action packed barroom fight. The audience participated in a sing-a-long, in addition to cheering on the hero, and hissing the villain. The cast, motivated and directed by Mrs. Debra Ciochina, gave a great performance, once again showing their growing professionalsim. The show broke the fall play attendance records, and for the first time a Sun¬ day performance was added. We give thanks to the director, Mrs. Debra Ciochina, the musical as¬ sistant, Mrs. Julie Lorig, the especial¬ ly wonderful cast, and all others who helped “Gold in the Hills” to be a giant success.

Jr. Miss—A Rewarding Success On November first, the Little The¬ atre was filled with people who came to see a night of dreams become reali¬ ty at the 1981 Junior Miss pageant. The energy level was high as the twenty contestants performed a spec¬ tacular show after weeks of hard, de¬ voted practice. Youth fitness was es¬ pecially stressed this year as the girls put together their talents to perform a fitness routine to the song “Rise”. The emotional level was also high as the girls watched a common dream come true before their eyes. Former Junior Miss, Elaine Her- litz was proud to pass her title to the new Junior Miss, Michelle Miller who also received the Poise and Ap¬ pearance Award. First runner-up was Lucinda Mitsch. Second runner-up was Melody Brummet who also won the Creative and Performing Arts Award. Third runner-up was Mary Williams. Debbie Stavem received the Scholastic Achievement Award. Lisa Brown won the Youth Fitness Award, and Tracy Grant received the specially created, Nadine Umlauf Spirit of Junior Miss Memorial Award. Geno Flores was the chairman for his sixth consecutive and final year. 12 Junior Miss Three couples have a friendly get together around the warming fireplace.

The theme was “The Christmas Past. It was set up in an old fashion setting and a band was present to give all the couples a wonderful feeling of Christmas Spirit. The Student Council served Christmas cookies, punch, and egg¬ nog. Walberg of Cedar Lake took pic¬ tures of any couple who wanted their pictures taken. This dance was a big success.

Teacher for a Day On November 18, F.E.A. club members experienced the fun and frustrations of being a “Teacher for a Day”. Freshmen were to be aides, and the senior, junior, and sophomore members were to pick any teacher they wanted. The teachers and mem¬ bers got together to make out a plan for the day. Mrs. McQuiston is the sponsor of this club, and we would like to thank her for everything.

It was just like any other convention with delegates, speakers, and an agenda. The convention, from its initial conception, took one year and two months to plan. The initial idea to “The Rainbow Connection”, from “The Mup- pet Movie”, was one of the catch phrases used for the Student Council Convention. have a convention was brought about by Brian Dawson, a senior, after the rest of the Student Council accepted the idea along with Mr. Kalbac, Mr. Hupp, and the Steering Committee who began to plan the convention. The convention took place at our high school on Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and 11. Registration be¬ gan on Saturday morning at eight thirty and the convention ended on Sunday at a banquet at two o’clock in the afternoon. With over fifty schools participating, meals for Saturday and Greg Donnelly sells T-shirts with the conven¬ tion slogan, “Dreams”, on them. Sunday and housing for over seven hundred delegates for Saturday night were the two largest concerns. Some of the activities that took place at the convention were: a dance; “Power Play”, which was a multime¬ dia presentation; a banquet; and a keynote speech, all of which empha¬ sized the theme of the convention, “Dreams.” This year’s convention was ac¬ claimed the best that Indiana had ever had, with the largest attendance ever recorded. The convention went well, thanks to a fantastic keynote speaker, Mr. Phil. Student Council 17 Once a year the young ladies of Lowell High School get the chance to ask their favorite beau to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. This year, dressed in western clothes, couples danced to the music of “The Sinners”. Bales of hay and picket fences set a western mood. Highlight of the evening was the hitching of couples by Justice of the Peace Naumowich. The couples paid 25 t for a Marriage Certificate which pronounced them “tied together”. Spasoff Studios was on hand to take pictures to help couples remem¬ ber this special evening. Jim Ringas swings his partner, Diana Jazwinski, round and round.

Sadie Hawkins Dance 19 Spirit Weeks Spur Students’ Spunk The two spirit weeks, which occur the week before Homecoming and the first Sectional Basketball games, are special times at Lowell High School. During Homecoming Spirit Week, the cheerleaders sold tootsie pops, class links, and raffled off a Red Devil t-shirt and jersey. The Office Educa¬ tion Association contributed to the festivities by selling Homecoming mums and helium filled ballons which were released when the Devils scored their first touchdown. The whole school was involved as the Seniors decorated the Devil’s Commons; Ju¬ niors were responsible for the North Commons; color was added to the South Commons by the Sophomores, Karen Kersey and Karen Kaiser, captains of the girls ' basketball team, address the audience during Spirit Week activities. and the Freshmen were in charge of library decorations. Student partici¬ pation was evident during the dress- up days such as on Western Day, when students were dressed in cow¬ boy attire, and Red and Black Day, when red and black clothing was worn. At the end of Spirit Week, a pep session took place. The Junior Class, which earned the most points from the class links, dress-up days, and commons decorations, was awarded the spirit stick. Later in the year, sectional Spirit Week began with the cheerleaders selling links and tootsie pops once again, along with the traditional Dev¬ il derbies. The commons areas were again decorated, as well as the stu¬ dents, who wore the Devil derbies and the clothes for the various dress-up days. On the day of the first sectional game, another pep session took place in the main gym. Because the assem¬ bly was an all school event, the main gym was used to accomodate the stu¬ dents. For this Spirit Week, the spirit stick was awarded to both the Juniors and Seniors. All in all the two Spirit Weeks will be times to be easily re¬ membered in students’ lives. ra w ' The Juniors’ first place decorations threaten all opponents. 20 Spirit Week Mrs. Ellis shows her school spirit on Western Day of Sectional Spirit Week.

IS ' AT THE TOP “Carnival” Comes to Town “Let them know that Schlagal’s Grand Imperial Cirque De Paris has come to town.” This is exactly what the 1981 cast of “Carnival” succeed¬ ed in doing on April 23, 24, and 25. The spring musical “Carnival”, di¬ rected by Mrs. Ciochina, reached new heights of success for the Lowell High Theatre Arts Department. Auditions were held at the end of February. Over eighty people tried out, the larg¬ est turnout ever. After many hours of hard decisions on Mrs. Ciochina’s and Mrs. Lorig’s part, fifty-three peo¬ ple were cast. The cast produced a show that will be remembered by many students, teachers and citizens of Lowell. For the first time, two of the three perfor¬ mances were sold out in advance and a few extra seats were added for the early arrivals, but some had to be turned away. The play was especially rewarding because of the large number of stu¬ dents involved and the interest that the student body displayed. The cast and “Bonnie” (Mrs. Ciochina’s dog. who appeared in the play) all had one common goal in mind, to do the very best possible, and have fun doing it. After the last performance, Mrs. Cio¬ china bid farewell to the Seniors, who will all be missed greatly. The theme song of Carnival is “Love Makes the World Go Round”. Through the weeks of practices and the thrill of performing for sold-out audiences, Mrs. Ciochina, Mrs. Lorig, the crews, and cast of “Carni¬ val” really found the meaning of that song to be true. George Schmelter plays the role of Paul, the man behind the puppets. Ella Mae Hoover takes the role of Lily, the innocent, naive young girl who learns about life at the “Carnival .

ROTC Lets Th eir Brass Shine Each year the Junior Air Force ROTC squadron at Lowell High School hosts a dining out ceremony for cadets and their parents and bes¬ towing on the cadets promotions to a higher rank. This year, for the first time in nine years, a member of the Lowell squad¬ ron, Cadet Lieutenant Colonel John Lindemer, received the National Air Force Association Award. This is one of the highest honors a cadet may re¬ ceive. John qualified for this award by virtue of his participation and dis¬ tinction in many ROTC activities. His ranking in the upper five percent of his class also earned him this hon¬ or. Other cadets were also honored. They received awards and recogni¬ tion for their service in not only ROTC but also in areas as diverse as participating in blood drives, compet¬ ing for scholarships and recruiting new cadets. All participants and guests agreed the ROTC banquet was a perfect way to end a productive year. President of the Mess, Lt. Colonel Robert Lep- Mess, Cadet Lt.

Held in the North Commons, the banquet honored students and their achievement in vocational fields. Entertainment before the banquet, was provided by the Swing Choir. D ave Wietbrock, the President of Vo¬ cational Industrial Club of America welcomed the students and guests of all the organizations, ICE, OEA, and VICA. After the welcome, dinner was served, which was catered by Wilco Foods. The awards were then presented to the outstanding students of the clubs by each sponsor. Miss Nemeth, OEA sponsor, announced the students who placed in District Contest and also the state winners. She also awarded a Most Outstanding Freshman, Sopho¬ more, Junior, and Senior. The officers for next year were announced also. The VICA sponsor, Mr. Blan¬ chard, presented the students who placed at state competition. He also distributed humorous awards to club members.

Ub SfiVOMRft o Months before the 1981 Junior-Senior Prom, the Juniors and Mr. Su- fana’s art classes started painting the murals to display in the Multi- Purpose Room. One week before the Prom, the Juniors set up the Multi- Purpose Room for the event. The big night of May 9, 1981 began at 8:00 p.m. and ended at 11:00 p.m. They provided many special attractions. A life-size Buddha was created by Mrs. Andershock’s art classes and was on exhibit in the Devils’ Commons. A coat check and sign-in was provided by the Juniors also. Couples were announced as they entered the dance floor. Fortune cookies and vases of flowers set an Oriental mood. Pictures were taken by Spasoff. Each couple received two 8” X 10” and twelve smaller photos. The band, “Stonewood Fox” performed fantastic entertainment. There were refreshments served, and the band played a variety of songs. The theme song was, “The Best of Times” recorded by Styx. One hundred fourteen couples danced, and at 11:30 the post-Prom started with the band “Three’s a Crowd” providing the music. The VFW in Lowell was set up in a carnival atmosphere with hot dogs, beans, salads, chips, relishes, and pop served as refreshments. The post-Prom was organized by mothers of the Junior students. An enjoyable Prom night finally ended too soon at 3:00 a.m. The Buddha greets the couples in the Devils ' Commons. 26 Prom C Uss 81 The Prom theme welcomed Prom goers to a lovely evening.

The administration, faculty and parents and friends set aside this evening to honor those seniors and un¬ derclassmen for their achievement in various areas. Seniors were honored especially for their academic ability by being named to the Honors Section. Tami Gerst was awarded the Attendance Award for four years of perfect atten¬ dance. Brian Dawson was honored with the DAR Good Citizen Award. Many Seniors were also presented with scholarships from various corpo¬ rations and civic organizations. Sen¬ iors and underclassmen who distin¬ guished themselves in such areas as ROTC, athletics, business, industrial education and journalism were also honored. Senator Ernie Niemeyer was guest speaker for the evening and presented the Government Award to two outstanding Seniors. The evening was rewarding for all participants and spectators. Suzy Cash was one of Lowell ' s honor students for 1981. Outstanding Achievements Editor of the Lowellian, Diva Wleklinski, re¬ ceived the Most Valuable Staffer Award from the Post Tribune. Career Day Captures Career Day is an event that takes place every other year. This year, April 24, was the day chosen by the coordinator, Mrs. Arline Vander- mark. The purpose of setting aside a school morning to careers is to give students first hand information on several careers they may be consider¬ ing. All of this was accomplished in three forty minute sessions chosen by students. Getting speakers is one of the har¬ dest areas to coordinate. It is difficult to get people to commit themselves to a future date. This year, forty-six speakers were on hand to discuss such career fields as paramedics, photog¬ raphy and banking. Speakers came from not only as near as Lowell and Crown Point but from as far away as Michigan City and Indianapolis. Their presentations covered areas of salary, preparation needed, and chances for advancement in each ca¬ reer, as well as any negative aspects. Such problems as cancellations and the scheduling of the entire high school can create real problems. Un¬ der Mrs. Vandermark’s able guid¬ ance, along with the help of Mrs. Woolfolk, Mrs. Midkiff, Mrs. McQuiston, Mr. Hupp and the facul¬ ty, Career Day was very successful on all levels. The speakers enjoyed the opportunity to share the rewards of their career while students found it worthwhile to clarify their thoughts and concerns about career choices.

The May Queen was crowned during the Lowell Re¬ lays. She also presided over the Moth¬ er’s Tea which was held later in the month. Even though the Lowell Relays were held on a cold and windy day in early May, the event was brightened by the half-time crowning of the May Queen, Lisa Brown. Escorted by Scott Knight, Lisa and her court and their escorts, presided over the track and field events of the afternoon which were hosted by Lowell High School. At the end of May, the Sunshine Club hosted the annual Mother’s Tea. This year, rather than a lun¬ cheon, the club, under the direction of Mrs. Karen Brownell, served refresh¬ ments from four to six in the after¬ noon in the Home Economics area. The Food classes prepared the re¬ freshments which were enjoyed by in¬ vited mothers and faculty members. Sewing students displayed their tal¬ ents by modeling some of their own creations. May Queen, Lisa Brown, and her court, reigned over the after school festivities. The new scheduling of these two traditional events proved to be an enjoyable way to usher in spring at Lowell High School. 1981 May Queen Lisa Brown receives her crown from last year’s queen, Charlene Kroll.

The coaches had their strategy; the teams were ready; the gym was full of curious fans. The match of the year began and after the dust cleared, Adams’ Animals had won by a score of four to three. This close hockey game ended with the Bandits missing a shot on goal which hit the side of the goal at the buzzer. The 1981 An¬ nual Physical Education All-Star Hock¬ ey game was over but not forgotten. It was a great success thanks to the involve¬ ment of the entire school. Bales’ Bandits “stick” it to Adams’ Animals. Adams ' Animals enjoy their hard-won victory. The Animals get sideline encouragement 38 Hockey Game Jumpers Have A Lot of Heart Pepi Jump Rope was a very suc¬ cessful event of the 1980-81 school year. One hundred and fifteen happy and healthy students spent weeks be¬ fore the event getting patrons to spon¬ sor their jumping. The purpose of the event is to raise money for research in the fight against heart disease. The entire project was organized by the American Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. The day of the jump, participants met in the gym in teams of five to six members. Each team member jumped until he was relieved by a fel¬ low team member. After two hours, the teams jumping had earned $2552.42 for the heart fund. The money was sent to Indianapolis which heads th e Indiana division of the Pepi Jump Rope Heart Fund which is af¬ filiated with the American Heart As¬ sociation. All participating felt dou¬ ble satisfaction in exercising their body and receiving a certificate for their efforts and all the time raising money for a good cause. Coach Lorig shows off his unique talent. A group of jumpers gather around to look over their scores. Kurt Kintzel, Eric Claesson, Joe Juarez and Dwayne Hernandez take a break. Sports 40 Sports Sports 41 Varsity Football Ends 21 Game Number 44 picks up a pass and a blocker. Number 14 takes it around the end without being touched. Drought A twenty-one game losing streak would be enough to discourage any other team, but the Red Devils held on to open their 1980-81 season with a victory over Lake Station. To make the season even more memorable, the varsity football team posted a 13-9 victory over rival Crown Point. Pre-season conditioning and training helped each player develop his skills so that he would perform to the peak of his capacities. Although the team was weak in size and depth, their togetherness and hitting ability saw them through a suc¬ cessful season. The team’s most valuable player was Mark Oiler while Paul Wiet- brock showed the most improvement. With the able assistance of Coaches Adams, Nicolini, Kamanaroff, Goetz, Naumowich, and Lorig, the varsity team and Coach Holok hope to improve on last year’s performance while continuing to restore the pride and competiveness of the program. Now that the Red Devils have tasted victory, they are coming back next year for a bigger bite.

To pre¬ pare them for the move to varsity, the team begins its conditioning and training in the summer. They also de¬ velop and sharpen their skills by prac¬ ticing with the varsity team. This year’s JV team was a good hard working group. Even though they posted a 4-5 season record, they played each game to the best of their ability. Those losses were close games in which the team came within points of victory. The team will all be returning next year. Under the direction of Coach Lorig, the Junior Varsity Football Team plans to lessen their margin of losing points to zero and make their overall record even more successful than this year’s. With material and determination like this, it’s easy to see why the varsity team is such a power¬ house. 1 1WELL lcwell ROW 1: George Searle, Tim Ebert.

Therefore, the team concentrated on building up their strength, endurance, speed and agility through weight lifting, run¬ ning and many other conditioning ex¬ ercises. The season itself began on February 2, 1981, with the first meet run on May 12. As coach of the girls, Mrs. Hafer set as her goals finishing better dur¬ ing the season in the dual meet re¬ cords, the Griffith relays, the confer¬ ence standings and sectionals, as well as sending more girls to the Region¬ als. She also wanted to have more than thirty people on the team. The team met many of their goals. This year the team showed more indi¬ vidual improvement which gave it more depth. However, the team could have been larger. The team graduat¬ ed seven talented seniors so there are positions open for next year. The girls finished with a nine to three season. They placed second at the Griffith relays which doubled their points from their position in fourth place last year. They finished third at the conference meet, which moved the girls up from fourth also. At the sectional meet, they finished eight out of twenty-one teams, a real improvement from last year’s elev¬ enth place. This year Kathy Kolloway went on to State in the long jump while Teresa Nelson qualified in the discus and Penny Weiand qualified in the high jump. Kathy Kolloway, senior captain, was this year’s most valuable player, a title she had held for three years. She ran the 200-meter dash, the 400- meter relay, the 100-meter dash, and participated in the long jump. She now holds the school record in the 100-yard dash, the 400-relay and the long jump. The most improved runner was Laura Koppen, a freshman, who set new school records in the 400-hun- dred meter dash and the 1600-meter relay. For next year, the team hopes to have thirty-five members on the team, with five people in each event. Other plans include better depth in the field events, winning the Griffith relays, Finishing either first or second in the Lowell conference and advanc¬ ing six people to the Regional and State meets. 46 Girls’ Track ROW 1: Dawn White, Katie DeRosa, Denise DeVine, Laura Koppen, Beth DeRosa, Robin Govert, Cindy Anderson, Julie Schrum, Shelly Myers ROW 2: Cindy Novak, Lynette Bur- chell, Julie Nelson, Lynda Koppen, Laura Sharkey, Debbie Reeder, Sarah Hotler, Col¬ lette Searle ROW 3: Joy Nelson, Anne Gay- field, Hope Warchus, Pam Davis, Lisa Brown, Lisa McLarty, Kathy Kolloway, Karen Kaiser, Theresa Nelson, Lisa Mates, Penny Weiand, Assistant Coach Jeff Dhonau, Coach Joy Hafer Penny Weiand dives over the high jump bar on her way to Regionals.

Girls’ Track 47 Cross Country Canvases the Countryside The Cross Country season began in the summer with a running program and finished in November. The most important preparation for a runner is in the summer. Five hundred plus miles was the team’s goal for the three months of the season. Winning the North Newton Invita¬ tional, qualifying for regionals and winning as many meets as possible were Coach Thomas’ goals for the Cross Country team this year. The team finished second in the invita¬ tional, three points away from win¬ ning it. The team did qualify for re¬ gionals, for the second time in Lowell’s history, making this the most exciting moment of the season. One weak point of the team was their fifth man. Runners one to four were grouped up and ran pretty close together; however, there was too much time between the first and fifth runner. Chris Novak, nevertheless, was considered the most valuable runner for 1980. ROW 1: Coach Bob Thomas, Dave Gerst, Travis Tucker, Cindy Novak, Greg Jazwinski, Steve Keizer ROW 2: Chris Novak, Dave O’Drobinak, Steve Feddeler, Don Singleton, Don Childress, Mike Tate, Bob Bolt For next year, the team hopes to be undefeated, with the exception of Crown Point, which Coach Thomas thinks will be tough to defeat. They also hope to qualify for semi-state, win the North Newton, Lowell and Bedford Invitationals, to have three all conference runners, and to finish second in the conference. Returning lettermen for next year are Chris Novak, Dave O’Drobinak, Dave Gerst, Mike Tate, Steve Feddler, and Travis Tucker. With such a strong team next year, Coach Thomas will have strong runners and the most valuable runner could be anyone. Coach Thomas cheers on Travis Tucker right to the finish line. 48 Cross Country Junior Varsity Volleyball “Bumps” Off Opponents The Junior Varsity Volleyball Team season began on August 15 and ended in the middle of October. Prior to this, some of the team members attended camps during the summer for conditioning. The goal for the team this year was to work as a team and let everyone on the team get ex¬ perience playing at the high school level. As the season went on, the team developed bumping and passing skills as their strong points. They noticed their weak points were serving and spiking which they worked on to im¬ prove. The most exciting event of the sea¬ son was the defeat of Highland with a score of fifteen to zero. As a result of the team’s successful season, Deb Bakker was considerd the most valu¬ able player and Tammy Elliot, the most improved player. Volleyballers move into position for a smash over the net.

No, it is the Lowell High School Girls’ Swim Team. Although the team had a 3-9 record, the team placed fifth in the conference meet, and seventh in sec¬ tionals. They did not accomplish their goal of winning more games and im¬ proving at sectionals and conferences, but their sense of competition was de¬ veloped. Leading the team were senior cap¬ tains Lisa Brown and Teresa Nelson. Awarded Most Valuable Player was Teresa Nelson, and Lori Brown was awarded Most Improved Player. Next year Coach Bader hopes to have more meets added to the team’s schedule, so the girls will have more opportunities to win and also keep in shape for the seasons to come.

The season began in mid-Octo¬ ber and ended in mid-January. The girls started conditioning for the sea¬ son with weight training, running, drills and scrimmages. By practicing these skills, they learned the funda¬ mentals of basketball. The girls this year were very seri¬ ous about winning and improving their skills. Coach Cathy Nelson felt that the team was a hard working group of girls. Coach Nelson’s goal of Finishing above .500 in conference was fulfilled. She felt that the most rewarding moment of the season was defeating Highland in conference which was also one of their best played games. The areas that needed improve¬ ment were free throw percentages and shooting when open. However, the team equaled these weaknesses with their ability to work together as a team and displaying a great desire to win. Robin Spaw drives under the basket for a lay-up.

Hopefully this talent and interest will continue so that they will become members of the Junior Varsity Team. According to Coach Mitchell, this year was most rewarding because of the noticeable improvement in the team. The girls developed into tough competition for some of the more tal¬ ented schools. They were able to benefit from the Junior Varsity girls who shared their playing experience with the new players. Even though there was room for more players on the team this year, the girls worked hard, concentrating almost entirely on the fundamentals of basketball. The girls’ conditioning program began in January while the season itself ended in March. Next year, Coach Mitchell hopes to stimu¬ late more interest in the freshman program and have more girls coming out for the team and improve this year’s record.

Lack of Size Hinders But Doesn’t Hurt Scott Knight plans to “rip” apart the Bulldog ' s defense. The Varsity Basketball season be¬ gan in September with pre-season conditioning and ended in March. The team members trained and pre¬ pared all of the time during the off¬ season. The training and preparing for the season paid off because they had a very good season. The team members played consistently with great inten¬ sity. They also played with compo¬ sure as they reduced the number of turn-overs throughout the season. The major weak point of the team was the lack of size which caused prob¬ lems in defense against the larger teams. The most valuable player was Chuck Earley. Chuck helped finish the season with 6 wins and 14 losses. Dave Elliot concentrates on making a one on 56 Varsity Basketball Coach Bales gives some last minute instruc¬ tions during a time out.

Before the season began, the team members pre¬ pared for it by running and weight lifting. Coach Berger’s goal this year as coach was to be over five-hundred for the season. Unfortunately, the team didn’t meet this goal. They had a nine-eleven season. The weakest point of the team this year was a lack of size. However, there were many good shooters who could help make any basketball team a success. The most rewarding aspect of the season was the way the team fought for victory and never gave up. Next year, the team hopes to be over five hundred. The Junior Varsity Red Devils won’t give the Bulldogs an inch.

Basketball Frosh Victories “In Bounds” This year Coach Adams goal was to produce a 500 season. He took his freshman basketball team even fur¬ ther by turning around a seventh and eighth grade season of one win and thirty losses into a freshman season record of nine wins and ten losses. This outstanding season began in No¬ vember and ended in the middle of February. All season long Coach Ad¬ ams stressed basketball fundamentals as part of the team’s training. Strong rebounding, good perimeter shooting from the guards, and Chris Laszlo’s scoring average of thirteen points per game were strong points of the team. The team will continue to improve and overcome their lack of winning experience. From the looks of this year’s fantastic season record, that should be no problem.

The team’s goals of working together, be¬ lieving in one another, sharing and experiencing winning were achieved because each team member dedicated himself to doing the best he could. To prepare for the various AAU and USWF wrestling tourneys hel ) throughout the season, t eam mem¬ bers worked on conditioning and un¬ derstanding body movements and center of gravity and leverage princi¬ ples associated with basic moves and techniques. One of the team’s strong points was having nine seniors in the line up, usually with three of exper¬ ience on the varsity squad. Sectionals proved to be a most re¬ warding moment for the wrestling team. It reflected a total team effort in which every member used his tal¬ ents to the fullest. As the season end¬ ed, Cary Depel emerged as the most improved player with an eighteen five record. Rodney Robison starred with a thirty four record this year. He was also two time conference and sectional champ, regional and semis¬ tate champ and a state finalist. Next year will be a “learning” sea¬ son for the team since there will be very few returning varsity wrestlers. This will have an effect upon the team’s success. However, a group this proud, dedicated, and concerned for one another will always be number one!

Conditioning to build strength among the team members was stressed. This training, along with a determination to win, were the strong points of the team. Under the leadership of Coach Lorig, the team met each of its chal¬ lengers with a team spirit and will to win. His goal was to further develop wrestling ability as well as the self¬ esteem of each junior varsity wrestler. Coach Lorig felt the team achieved this and plans to work even harder next year to produce a winning sea¬ son. 62 JV Wrestling Coaches Goetz and Lorig offer sideline encour¬ agement to the JV wrestlers. JV Wrestling 63 Gymnasts Vault to Victorious Season The Gymnastic’s Team had a very rewarding season. Their goals for the 1980-81 season were to improve the records on the intermediate and op¬ tional level, to increase individual point score, to increase team depth by gaining in numbers, and by having gymnasts who compete in more than one event. Many of the goals were met. They increased team records and there were many scores of 8.0 or higher for the individual gymnasts. The inter¬ mediate team had a winning season of six wins and five losses. The girls started conditioning Oc¬ tober 20 and began on equipment No¬ vember 3. The meets began in Janu¬ ary and finished with sectionals on March 12. Lisa Brown was the cap¬ tain for a fourth year competing in all four events: balance beam, floor exer¬ cise, uneven bars, and vaulting. Julie Schrum placed first in Floor Exercise at Highland Invitational and Colette Searle placed sixth on Beam at Sec¬ tionals.

Girls’ Varsity Basketball— Aiming for Victory It all paid off. All of the work and practice was rewarded with a 13-6 re¬ cord for the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team. The girls started their pre-sea¬ son conditioning with weight train¬ ing, basketball conditioning skills, and running. Then, as the season pro¬ gressed, they got into more power ex¬ ercises, basketball drills, and aerobic fitness. Coach Cheryl Mitchell accom¬ plished the goals she set for the team. They consisted of improving the pre¬ vious record and providing playing experience for all players. The team’s success was due to their outstanding offensive team, team work, and quickness of the players. Coach Cheryl Mitchell gives the team a pep talk.

Coach Berger confers with Tim Todd on the side lines. The Varsity Baseball Team, con¬ sidered a long-shot in the conference, stunned all skeptics with an 8-4 victo¬ ry over Lake Central to win the 1981 Baseball Sectional. The season record of 11-16 reflected the team’s problem with inconsistent hitting. However, it was the team’s strong pitching which led them to a sectional victory with a grand slam. With the emphasis on weight train¬ ing and flexibility, the team began its season in January. Steady progress through the season to try to reach a .500 season was made. Although the ROW 1: Scott Knight, Jeff Farney, John Juarez, Ted Hansen, Tim Todd, George Searle. Rich Iwinski.

Contributing to the team’s sectional victory was pitcher Todd Elliot, the Most Valuable Play¬ er, and catcher Todd Steward was the Most Improved Player. Coach Berger’s plans for next year definitely include another sectional victory. To make the victory even sweeter, he plans to work on winning the Lake Suburban Conference also.

Their pre-sea¬ son conditioning, which began in Jan¬ uary, emphasized running and weight lifting for the upper arms. The play¬ ers then concentrated on a weak point, hitting. By the time the season ended in late May, there was evidence of real improvement and develop¬ ment. Outstanding players were Ken Ri- bicki, Mike Hine and Ken Tisdale.

It is this dedication which re¬ sulted in noticeable improvement in this year’s team. While the team still suffers from inexperience, Coach Perry is optimistic since all but one player will be returning. The Most Valuable Player, Chris Richards, will be one of those returning golfers. This year’s team concentrated on improving their basic skills, such as developing a grooved swing, chipping, and putting. More importantly, the goal of the team was to make golf a game to be enjoyed. With continued practice and interest, the Boys’ Golf Team will provide real competition in the coming year. Chris Richards, the team’s Most Valuable Player, was the longest hitter this year.

The actual playing of matches began in mid-April and end¬ ed with Sectionals in mid-May.

At the completion of sectionals, the team had finished fourth out of thir¬ teen teams and qualified three indi¬ viduals and both relay teams for the Regionals. In addition, the team ac¬ complished its goals of increasing the number of participants and improv¬ ing its conference standing. Basic conditioning and training be¬ gan early in February with work on distance and weights. Members then concentrated on speed work and drills. Throughout the season, which ended in May, track members worked to strengthen their weak points of depth, experience and foot speed. The team’s numbers and versatility, how¬ ever, helped to make this track season rewarding. Members of the team distinguished themselves with outstanding perfor¬ mances during the season. The Most Valuable Player was Dave O’Dro- binak, while the Most Improved was Jeff Jeanor. Leadership for the team was ably provided by captains Cary Depel, Dave O’Drobinak and Dale Hanley. The track team also set nu¬ merous new school records in the 100, 200 and 400 meter dash, the 800 me¬ ter run and the 1600 and 400 meter relays. With such a memorable season, Coach Nicolini has high hopes for next year. He would like to increase the number of participants to make the track team a real challenger in the conference. He also hopes to qualify more individuals and relay teams for the Regional and State meets. Cary Depel and Rick Williams were top com¬ petitors in the long distance events.

The year was special for many reasons—seeing old friends and making new ones, participating in activities, attending “Senior” classes. Most of all, this year was special because it was the last time the seniors would be a part of Lowell High School. The Senior class played many important roles at Lowell. They were one of the cheering crowd at sporting events. They were behind the scenes readying another smash hit for the Lowell stage. They were dancing and partying with other couples at a dance. Along with these good times, the Seniors were there to provide leadership, direction and hard work to all activities they participated in. They earned well- deserved respect from their hard work and action and set an example for future Senior classes. The Senior class worked to make their last school year count. These days were spent making unforgettable friends and memories. New friends entered the circle of Seniors by way of foreign exchange students and the Student Council Convention. Memories poured in from witnessing and participating in events like “Carnival”, Prom, winning the Sectionals in baseball and ending a losing streak in foot¬ ball. The list of memories and friends was only as short as one’s involvement. Being a Senior is special. “There is no one compares with you.” Seniors 19X1 82 Seniors Seniors 83 Voia (5 in fl I?ec|u4f } uj Sa bV . 84 Baby Pictures Margaret Debbie Debbie 86 Baby Pictures Michelle Suzy Because Baby Look at You Now!

The evening started at 6:30 when Seniors arrived at the decorated Devils Commons. Many talked with friends while signing each other’s Senior Memory Books. The class president, David Minion, led the group in prayer and then the Seniors ate their “last supper” together. After eating, the Seniors danced to records in the Multi-Purpose room. Many past memories were remembered and talked about, and many new memo¬ ries were made. As four years of hap¬ piness, sadness, fun times, and hard work came to a close, this evening proved to be very special to many spe¬ cial people, the Seniors.

This is not all that was started at this time. The high school careers of 265 seniors were ending but their life out of school was just beginning. Filled with happiness and sadness, the 1981 class marched to “Pomp and Circumstance”, and entered a whole new perspective on life. During the exercises, speeches were given by three specially chosen students. Debbie Manns spoke of challenges that one meets throughout high school and life. Julie DeVine spoke of the “electric potential” that the 1981 class displayed for its per¬ sonality. The theme of “One Last Test” was presented by Brian Daw¬ son. After the speeches, diplomas were distributed and Principal Roger Luekens officially declared the class of 1981, history. Seniors eagerly awail the beginning of com¬ mencement. 132 Graduation Graduation 133 Album “ ... But of all these friends and lovers ...” The students, the friends and lovers who attend Lowell High, are the people who fullfill the school’s purpose. A student attends high school for an education. However, high school is not only a time to broaden the student’s knowledge through structured classes, but it is also a time where, over a period of four years, the student develops his individuality. While gaining insights in Algebra and English, the student also gains in¬ sights into himself and the world surrounding him. While the student is active through high school, he matures into a young adult. By sitting through long classes, patience is learned along with a host of other beneficial traits, such as responsibility, helpfulness, and the ability to laugh and enjoy one’s self. While the student is developing mentally, he is also taking classes which will prepare him for his future after high school. Many classes are offered for both college and non-college bound students which will prepare them for careers in the years to come. The people at Lowell High all have many things in common, such as studying for tests and going to class, but—“of all these friends and lovers”,—each one is different from the other in a thousand ways. Album 13S Juniors Get on the “Spirit Stick” The Junior Class was involved in a number of activities throughout the school year. The Juniors proved their true spirit by dressing up during Spir¬ it Week, decorating the commons, and for the first time won the spirit stick. The Juniors were in charge of decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom. The class had saved money for the Prom since their freshman year. The Prom comes once a year so the picking of the theme was very impor¬ tant. The class held many debates be¬ fore settling on an Oriental theme. Since there was not a Valentine’s dance, the Junior class sponsored the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The dance turned out very well and many stu¬ dents attended it. The Junior class lent a helping hand to many success¬ ful activities and pleased the whole student body. Junior Class officers are: Treasurer, Jane Bor- kowski; Vice-President, Lisa Mates; President, Shawn Clark; Secretary, Mary Daley. George Schmelter says, “Look out! Here come the Juniors!” Heidi Hudson and Sue Erb hit the books. 136 Juniors Tom Allie Barry Alt Sandy Ash Karen Backe Lee Baker Jim Ball Danny Barker Mike Barrus Terry Bauer John Bean Kathleen Beckrich Dawn Beenes Cindy Belt Teri Benka Cindy Berner Tammy Bigger Toby Biggs Denise Bird Donna Blanchard Michelle Bokich Jane Borkowski Paul Borromeo Tim Bradford Phil Bradshaw Mark Bratcher Kelly Breckling Linda Broe Cheryl Brown Lorri Brown Julie Brunner Mike Bryant Bob Buche David Buche Tim Bunce Laura Burbach Jim Burge Amy Butler Julie Bydalek Gwyneth Capps Cathy Cash Bill Childress Tony Clark Shawn Clark Jody Clevinger Sue Corns Dave Cotner Tim Cottingham Greg Crim Mike Cullins Marylyn Cummins Shain Cusic Mary Daley Roy Davis Tammie Day Juniors 137 Janet Decker Darla DeGonia Desiree Deifel Tirza Derflinger Katie DeRosa Kelly DeVine Joe Dewes Linda Dietrich Debbie Divich Cheryl Dolberry Brad Donnelly Joy Dougherty Scott Dulin Tim Ebert Kim Edmonson Dave Elliot Todd Elliot Sue Erb Trudy Feddeler Ann Fewkes Jim Fletcher Richy Fox Tony Fox David Frederick Mickey French Dawn Fritz Tom Furmankiewicz Eric Gallenkamp Mark Garcia Greg Gasparini Anne Gayfield Dave Gerst Mike Gies Marie Gleason Bill Gray Jay Green Sue Gullett Rich Haberlin Lynn Hall Dan Hamm Dale Hanley Jeff Hardison Bob Hardy John Hayden Scott Hedrick Joe Hieser Tammy Henke Rich Herr Sue Herz Laura Hoehn Tim Holm Bill Holzhauer Chris Hood Debbie Hopper 138 Juniors Yvonne House Rich Howard Jim Huber Hiede Hudson Georgette Hussey Jim Jared Diane Jazwinski Lori Jelenick Greg Joseforsky Connie Justice Tim Kaiser Lori Kieth Pam Keizer Debbie Kelley Keith Kender Mark Ketelaar Chris Kirgan Joe Klotz Dale Knoblich Laura Knoblich Mike Kopack Lynda Koppen Dawn Korte Anita Krueger A1 LeClaire John Liaskos Tony Luchene Duane Luke Connie McColley Doug McLean Jerry Scroggins, Mark Garcia, and Glen Wnorowski use their free time wisely.

This money making project turned out very well. The Sophomores participated in Spirit Week by dressing up for the various days, decorating the commons, and by putting money in their class can for links. The annual Spring Thing gave the entire school a chance to en¬ joy themselves while helping out the Sophomores financially. The class concentrated on money raising pro¬ jects to ensure a good Prom for their Junior year.

Karen Chapman learns the Freshmen Get Into the Picture The class of ’84 kept very busy this year. Even though the activities were new to them, the Freshmen partici¬ pated in the many events during the year. Many of the students joined various clubs and sports. The Fresh¬ men showed great effort in everything they participated in, such as Spirit Week, Homecoming, and classwork. Throughout the year, the Freshmen were able to adjust to the school very well and gain experience for the years ahead of them.

Freshmen 159 If You Can Read This, Thank a Teacher A building becomes a school when it is filled with students. A school be¬ comes a place of learning and excel¬ lence when teachers share their ex¬ periences and knowledge with students in the classroom or on the athletic field. This common purpose of sharing is what makes teachers unique. It is what makes the teachers of Lowell High School so special. The Lowell faculty represents a va¬ riety of talents, interests and abilities. There are some members of the facul¬ ty who can make mathematics as sim¬ ple as one, two, three. There are some members who transport students ev¬ ery day to a foreign country with the study of language. Some on the staff make past history a possibility in the future for a student. Some on the staff make the English language seem a little less foreign. There are teachers who make the theory of relativity as simple as A, B, C. Finally, there are teachers who make a game of football as simple as child’s play for any stu¬ dent. Whatever field the staff excels in, all faculty members are equal in their willingness to educate young people. It is their determination and dedica¬ tion to shaping the young minds and seeing to it that Lowell students be¬ come responsible adults which make this faculty outstanding. To coordinate these various talents and to make sure a school day is run smoothly and efficiently, no school is complete without an able administra¬ tion. Lowell High School is truly for¬ tunate to have not only a capable staff but also a group of adminstrators who see to it that our school provides the best education possible. Together, the staff and administration of Lowell High School deliver a double dose of quality and pride in education.

Teachers 165 Custodians Polish LHS’s Image The custodians are always working around the clock cleaning the school for us, the students of Lowell High. They are also on call throughout the day to repair broken or damaged items. They can always be seen in the lunch room making sure our eating area is kept clean and neat. Mickey Hennin can always be found making sure the teacher’s lounge is a quiet and relaxing place for the staff. The custodians were kept busy this year with some major clean-up du¬ ties. They were there to help put the Home Economics department back into order after the fire. During the rainy season this year, the custodians, with their buckets, were always handy to catch the drips from the leaky roof. The Lowellian staff really appreci¬ ates the work of the custodians, for without them, our work area would not be kept as spic and span as it is. Although they are usually behind the scenes, the custodians are an impor¬ tant part of Lowell High School. Tom Engles makes a clean sweep of one of the classrooms.

Mrs. Toni Ni¬ chols is the head cook. She makes sure that everything is in the line for the day’s meal. Serving a hot lunch to six hundred hungry people each day is a tough jo b in itself, but, besides that, the cooks must serve the crowd from 10:45 to 12:45, all the time making sure that everything stays just right. We appreciate our cooks’ efforts even more when we consider how they do all of this while working on a limited budget. But, thanks to them, we can keep going through the day with full stomachs and happy faces. Even the smallest details in food preparation are taken care of by our cooks. Cooks 167 Secretaries and Aides Are Our “Type” of People! Good ideas are only worth some¬ thing if they get written down. That is one of the jobs that the secretaries and aides do for our school. Whenever someone has a good idea, whether it is an administrator, teacher, or even a student, it will most likely be a secre¬ tary or aide who will end up recording that idea for posterity. Our secre¬ taries and aides at Lowell High School not only keep records for our constant reference, but also churn out volumes of teaching materials, such as study guides and vocabulary lists, as well as tests that are used to mea¬ sure student progress. Another important service that our aides and secretaries render is super¬ vision. Without the aides and secre¬ taries supervising the many areas throughout the school, those open areas would likely be closed to stu¬ dents because there are simply not enough teachers or administrators to cover all of those areas all of the time. As a result of their help, we have qui¬ et, organized areas for study. The group of people that make up Lowell High School form a very intri¬ cate and functional chain. The secre¬ taries and aides have always been and will always be a strong link in that chain.

That group of people is the Tri-Creek Board of School Trustees. The school board consists of members elected by the community from each township in the Tri-Creek School Corporation. The school board meets twice monthly to transact the business of the school corporation. They must deal with everything affecting the school corporation, from hiring teachers to spending money for paper towels. Probably the most important function of the school board is to set policy for the school system. Without their direction, all of the schools in Tri-Creek would be going as many different directions as there are schools. Mr. John Byrant presents John Lindemer with his diploma. Principal Roger Luekens, Superintendent John Kuruzovich, and school board member, John Bryant pay special attention to the 1981 com¬ mencement speakers. School Board 169 Clubs “For people and things that went before ...” During high school, many students look for something that they enjoy throughout their high school years to keep them busy. To fulfill this search, there are extra-curricular activities such as clubs and organizations. There are many of these clubs at Lowell High School. An interested student can find clubs that offer educational purpose, career preparation, hobbies and just plain fun. In these clubs, students learn to accept responsibil¬ ity, to prepare and to work with others while developing themselves individually. Even though the student may work very hard to better the club, this is not all he does. The members of clubs are rewarded by participating in recreational activities sponsored by the club. When a member is active in the club, he belongs to, the friendships, exper¬ iences, and responsibilities he gains make the fond memory “For people and things that went before”, one that will stay in the student’s mind long after he leaves high school. Timerettes and Trackettes Make Time Stand Still One of the most critical and impor¬ tant jobs in getting through a season for any sport is the accurate recording of team and individual statistics and performances. Without this essential information, a coach might have a more difficult time in selecting par¬ ticipants for events or predicting an individual’s success in a particular event. The Timerettes and Trackettes are essential components of a well or¬ ganized swim and track team. The Timerettes are a group of girls that assist swim team by timing events and keeping statistics. Many times, the final winner of a swim meet depends on their watching an individ¬ ual swimmer carefully. The Track¬ ettes keep times and statistics for the track meets. Because of the variety of events in each track meet, the Track¬ ettes help keep things in running or¬ der. Timerettes ROW I: Julie DeVine, Joy Nelson, Lindsey Bryant.

That means that records must be kept on everything from win-loss records to who intercepted the most passes. If no one else does it, it must be done by the coaching staff, a group that has a lot of other things to think about. Lowell High School’s answer to this dilemma is the Gridettes organiza¬ tion. The Gridettes accept the responsi¬ bility of keeping accurate records as the football season progresses. With¬ out the dedication and spirit of this group, the season would not progress as it does now, smoothly and orderly. Any girl who is interested is eligible to be a member. This year, Senior managers, Pam Davis, Carrie French, Lisa Offut, Julie DeVine and RQ w Margaret Sharkey, Tracey Hedrick, Vine, Lisa Offutt, Pam Davis, Carrie French, Linda Mager were a valuable part of Shelley Miller, Dawn Sailor, Debbie Hopper, Gloria Burns, the organization.

At each athletic event, seventeen energetic young ladies “suit up” to cheer the Red Devils to victory. As cheerleaders, these young ladies re¬ present Lowell as symbols of the Red Devil fighting spirit. Any LHS stu¬ dent with skill, energy and the re¬ quired grade point average is eligible to try out for the Freshmen, J.V. or Varsity squad. Cheerleaders began their term by sponsoring a cheerleading clinic for grade school students in September. In addition to leading cheers at sport¬ ing events, cheerleaders have the re¬ sponsibility of decorating the locker room and the building in honor of the team. To boost team spirit, cheer¬ leaders also bought cakes for team members to enjoy before the “big game”. During Homecoming, cheerleaders sponsor Spirit Week. By selling links, suckers, and derbies, cheerleaders played upon class competition to en¬ courage school spirit. Parents’ Night held during football and basketball season, paid tribute to the parents of the senior cheerleaders and team members. Win or lose, the cheer¬ leaders can be counted on to provide a boost to the Red Devil spirit.

With the name “Devi¬ lettes”, they quickly became very popular. They perform with the band, yet display their own style. The Devi¬ lettes purchased uniforms for both summer and fall performances, as well as the new poms they used. Any girl interested in being a Devi- lette may try out for the squad. More members, flashier routines, and un¬ limited energy have increased the popularity and success of the Devi¬ lettes. Tracey Grant anxiously awaits the start of the Homecoming Parade. Pep Club Picks Up Sagging Spirit An important ingredient for a suc¬ cessful athletic season is school spirit provided by an enthusiastic student body. The Pep Club provides this sup¬ port. Any and all Lowell High School students are eligible and encouraged to join. Even though Pep Club has added to its membership this year, it hopes for even more student involve¬ ment next year. In addition to encouraging school spirit at athletic events, Pep Club sponsors Spirit Week. This involves the selling of candy, links, and derbies to students anxious to win the spirit stick for their class.

The L Club is an organization that unites all of the lettermen athletes in each sport into one club. Any athlete who re¬ ceived one varsity letter in any sport is automatically a member. The L Club was very active during the 1980-81 year. They held many Tami Gerst, Skip Henson, Ronna Lukasik and Lisa Brown try to “sell” each other on fund raising projects. fund raisers and worked hard at con¬ cession stands to make the club bet¬ ter. The L Club took a big step for¬ ward by getting L sweaters for its members. The club worked hard and with its growing membership has be¬ come a very successful organization. Lowell Opens Door to Foreign Influence In its own way, Lowell High School has done its share of promoting inter¬ national relations with the existence of the Youth for Understanding Club. This year they were put into action serving as a welcoming committee for two foreign exchange students at Lowell. Through the work of the Youth for Understanding Club, Gaby Dirks from Germany, and Deborah Lowery from Australia were made to feel a part of the school. Club mem¬ bers introduced the girls to American customs and helped them become ac¬ tive members of Lowell High School. Deborah Lowery, spreads her Australian cheer Gaby Dirks, foreign exchange student from Germany, “picks up” English as her second language.

It was aided in these areas by the Lowell Music boosters, the Devi- lettes, and Mr. Peckham, a student director from Olivet Nazarene Col¬ lege. Director Joe Vacaro’s goal this year was to have better performances. This was achieved by fine musician- ship and dedication by students. The band season began on June 1 and ended on May 30. During this season, the band placed first in a Crown Point parade on the Fourth of July, and had the best performance of the year at the annual Spring Con¬ cert. Also, many students competed at the local NISBOVA solo and en¬ semble contest at Butler University. There were many talented musicians in the band this year. Lindsey Bryant, David Mares, and Robin Govert were considered the most improved play¬ ers, and Mike Kirgan was considered the most valuable player. Anyone with a sincere musical in¬ terest and a will to work is eligible for membership in the band, provided the director approves the request. The band’s hopes for next season are to have a bigger and better pom pom corp perform with them and to con¬ tinue their performances. Band members practice their marching form through the streets of Lowell.

Band 181 Choir Sings Up a Storm The Lowell High School Choir pro¬ vides an opportunity for students who are interested in singing to develop their voices in a group situation. The choir has performed at various con¬ certs this year and hosted the Penn High School Choir and Swing Choir performances at Lowell High School. One exciting event the choir exper¬ ienced this year was performing in the District Choral Festival at Winamac. Approximately Five-hundred choral students from the district sang to¬ gether under the direction of Mr. Gene Poston from Ball State Univer¬ sity. The High School Choir is open to anyone who enjoys choral singing and performing and has a desire to study choral techniques. Mrs. Lorig, the choir director, has many plans for next year. Some of her plans are to further develop singing performance with the goal of entering in the NIS- BOVA large group contest for the first time in many years. Each semes¬ ter the choir becomes larger and in the near future Mrs. Lorig would like to expand the program into offering three or four different types of choral groups during the day. The Swing Choir is a unit within the choir itself but when it starts to “swing”, they are “out standing” by themselves! The Swing Choir, also under the direction of Mrs. Lorig, performs popular tunes and show mu¬ sic. They also add their own choreog¬ raphy and accompaniment to their performances. During the year, the group has per¬ formed with the choir and also hosted its own programs for various groups and organizations. They served as the entertainment for the Vocational banquet and performed admirably at the District Festival in Winamac. For our listening pleasure, they also spon¬ sored a school convocation featuring the Penn High School Swing Choir. Any high school student with vocal and dance talent is eligible to audition for the group. The Swing Choir hopes to continue to grow in number and in quality of their performances next year. The Swing Choir ends their rendition of “Ev¬ erybody Rejoice from the musical, “The Wiz” with enthusiasm. ROW I: George Aim, Lisa Offutt, Tom Gun¬ ning.

Well, then, you should be a member of Future Educa¬ tors in Action. FEA exists to promote student interest in the field of educa¬ tion by acquainting students with educational ideas. FEA organized many activities to further their purpose. They sponsored a citrus fruit sale as a money making project. Members served as elves to faculty members. They exchanged gifts and notes with the faculty and staff on holidays and special occa¬ sions. In the spring, FEA served a Teachers’ Breakfast. These two ac¬ tivities brought pleasure to both stu¬ dent members and the faculty. FEA members were also hostesses for Ca¬ reer Day speakers this year. A highlight of the club’s activities was their attendance at the FEA Area Conference and State Conven¬ tion. Ten members attended the State Convention. Lisa Mates was elected Area I Vice-President at the Area Conference. The name tags submit¬ ted by the chapter won third place in state competition. Next year, FEA plans to be even more active than this year. By encour¬ aging more active participation, FEA will be able to sponsor more activities to benefit all at Lowell High School.

Only sen¬ iors with a C or above average can be Cadet Teachers. This course is for students who think they may be interested in pursu¬ ing a teaching career. Each student is assigned to help a teacher at the ele¬ mentary or middle school. They must be working in the school for at least six hours per cycle. Their activities include: reading stories to children or listening to the children read; work¬ ing with small groups or individual students who need extra help; making bulletin boards; grading papers, or any other activities the teacher asks them to do. During class time at the high school, various aspects of education are discussed. These areas include: child development, discipline, special education, salaries, and job opportu¬ nities.

The group is organized to promote the de¬ velopment of industrial skills and to unite the various areas in the shop department in preparing students who wish to pursue a career in the industrial field. The most exciting and successful event this year for the group was the winning of first place in the Home¬ coming Float competition. Their en¬ try featured a recycling machine de¬ signed and built by the members. Other activities which the Industri¬ al Education Club sponsored were a scholarship raffle and the Industrial Education Banquet. At the annual dinner, awards were given to those members who had taken eight or more shop courses and earned a 3.5 average or better or in some other way had distinguished themselves in the area of industrial education. Items which the club members had made were also on display at the banquet.

The six members, Don Hulsey, Jeff Pratt, Tim Ebert, Rick Mager, Tim Kaiser, and Terry Miller returned with many new ideas for the chapter. Later in the year, the FFA partici¬ pated in district and area livestock, dairy and soil judging contests. The freshmen members placed high in the District Greenhand Contests and the chapter did well at the District Lead¬ ership Contests. For the school open house, a small animal exhibit was on display in the shop area. The chapter was also in¬ volved in such community projects as: a timber evaluation project for the county forester; work on Octoberfest for the Chamber of Commerce; and a radio campaign on Ag. Day. The Livestock Production class partici¬ pated in the first Annual Lowell Ro¬ deo and Bull Round-Up. With enroll¬ ment in Ag. and FFA doubling for the 1981-82 school year, the future looks very bright for the Lowell FFA Chap¬ ter. Mr. Huseman pitches in on an FFA endeavor. Duncan Kutemeier concentrates on construct¬ ing an FFA project. AFJROTC Commands Attention The Lowell High School Air Force JROTC is not just a single group. It is made up of separate units such as the Drill and Rifle Teams. They both have established themselves as out¬ standing military groups we should be proud of. The Drill Team is lead by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Larry Gallmeier. It is a precision marching unit that performs at various events. This year they have displayed their talents at half time for both high school and middle school basketball games. Dur¬ ing open house, they entertained par¬ ents, faculty and students with rou¬ tines. The Indiana 41st AFJROTC Squadron is the only Air Force JROTC unit with a rifle team. They have been very successful in their first year of competition. After winning at Lew Wallace, the Gary Regional and the Lowell Invitational, they are un¬ defeated. ROTC.

Many people have heard of this club and know that it is a business oriented club, but what ex¬ actly is it? Who can join? What do they do? Office Education Association is a club that helps students interested in business prepare for success in the business world. Any student in grades nine through twelve, who is enrolled in a business course, can join. OEA, like many other clubs, has a table at the annual club sign-up during the first weeks of the school year. What do they do? What don’t they do! OEA has many activities during the course of the year. OEA’s main project is the Special Olympics. This year, members collected pledges for a Bowl-a-Thon and then proceeded to ROW 1: Pat Nemeth, Sponsor; Carrie French, Historian; Lucinda Mitsch, Sheryl Gerner, Re¬ porter; Debbie Morris, Treasurer; Debbie Sta- vem.

Another activity is District Con¬ test. Members prepare for the contest of their choice. They compete against other schools in District I. If they place first, second or third, they pro¬ ceed to State Contest in Indianapolis. Those placing first, second or third there, proceed to Nationals. This year the National Contest was held in San Antonio, Texas. OEA took thirty-two awards at District and twelve awards at State. An exciting moment at State was when the Lowell chapter won third place in Chapter of the Year.

For the first time, the club attended the East¬ ern Regional Conference. Other pro¬ jects were their fund raising activi¬ ties. In the fall, they sold and distributed citrus fruit, and in the spring, they sold candy and cheese and sausage. OEA’s hope for next year is to con¬ tinue to serve the business students of Lowell High School and to give them the opportunities that the Office Edu¬ cation Association can provide.

If your car needs a grease job or an oil change, for example, where could you go to have the job done quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable price? The answer is VICA! The Vocational Industrial Club of America was es¬ tablished to develop leadership abili¬ ties through participation in educa¬ tional, vocational, civic, recreational, and social activities. To accomplish all of this, VICA has sponsored such activities as a fruit sale, tool box raf¬ fle, a VICA Skill Olympics and a field trip to the auto show. Any vocational auto student is eli¬ gible to be a member. By providing automotive service to the Lowell Community and the school staff, members develop a pride and respect for the dignity of their work. Mem¬ bers plan an annual ski weekend and participate in various contests throughout the year. They work to¬ gether to fund these projects and make them memorable. Besides providing funds to attend various competitions held out of town, the club also purchased two new VICA blazers. They will be worn at future state and national meetings. VICA plans even bigger and better projects for the next year.

The primary objective of the I.C.E. program is to prepare students to enter the world of work with some basic skills in an occupational field. It serves as a bridge from a full-time student to a full-time worker. I.C.E. is a cooperative effort be¬ tween the school and many local bu¬ sinesses. Typically, a student spends half of his day in school and the other half working at a local business. Dur¬ ing the half day at the business train¬ ing station, students learn the skills associated with that job. I.C.E. is an opportunity for students to earn while they learn. ROW 1: P.M.

The club exists to develop in¬ terest in the French language of those students enrolled in French classes. The French Club sponsored several fund-raising activities. As a result of this hard work, the club was able to take an exciting trip to Paris, France, over spring break. The French Club paid approximately 25% of the cost of the trip and sixteen people were able to go. Any member of a French class is eligible for club membership. The French Club hopes to plan some ac¬ tivities next year that would interest other students and the community in the French language and culture. French Club members are anxious to sample an authentic French meal.

Anyone interested in Spanish may join the club. This year the club decorated a win¬ dow in the town of Lowell for home¬ coming. They went Christmas carol¬ ing, and had a party afterwards at Mrs. Mills’ house. Their most suc¬ cessful money-making project was the annual carnation flower sale with personal messages attached to them. The activity was successful because many students liked to show someone they care and so bought carnations. The club plans to take a trip to Mexico shortly after the school year ends to practice their language skills. Next year the club would like to trav¬ el to Spain or Mexico to further ex¬ pand their language experience.

Theatre Arts Stages Season’s Spectaculars Theatre Arts and Thespians exist to provide quality entertainment to the Lowell community. The Lowell Theatre Arts Department has cer¬ tainly practiced this philosophy throughout the year. Under the direc¬ tion of Mrs. Debra Ciochina, the The¬ atre Arts Department has grown in membership and improved the qual¬ ity of its productions. The main objective of the club is to get the members involved with the fall and spring plays. The fall play, “Gold in the Hills”, proved to be a success after six weeks of hard work by the cast, crews, and of course, the dedication of Mrs. Ciochina and Mrs. Lorig. They continued their success with the smash hit, “Carnival”. Many members were involved in the production which proved to be very rewarding for all involved. If a student is interested in any as¬ pect of the performing arts, this is the club for him or her. The Theatre Arts Department has continued to grow and prosper throughout this year and the club is finally getting the recogni¬ tion it deserves.

The 1980-81 school year proved to be very successful for the Lowell Thespian Troupe 1691. The Troupe gained thirteen members this year and will be inducting even more next year. Along with the Theatre Arts Department, the Thespians were in¬ volved in the production of “Gold in the Hills” and “Carnival”. Every member of the Troupe worked on both shows, either “on stage” or “be¬ hind the scenes”. The Troupe also traveled to West Washington High School in southern Indiana for the State Drama and Thespian Convention on April 3, 4, and 5. Eighteen members of the Troupe and Theatre Arts, under the supervision of Mrs. Ciochina, Mrs. DeVine and Terry Little, enjoyed a weekend of shows, workshops and en¬ tertainment. Because of the growing interest in theatre at Lowell High, the members have much to be proud of. The spon¬ sor of the Theatre Arts Department and Thespians is Mrs. Debra Cio¬ china. All of the student members of the two groups, the faculty, and the community have much respect for her. She has, in her two years of spon¬ sorship, improved Lowell’s theatre program by teaching and practicing professionalism.

Student Council Speaks Out The Student Council provides an equilibrium between students and the faculty and administration. The Stu¬ dent Council serves as the representa¬ tive body to the administration on viewpoints held by a majority of the students. The Student Council also performs a variety of social functions for any interested high school stu¬ dent. The Student Council sponsored many activities this year, such as the Student Council State Convention on October 10 and 11; a blood drive on November 7; a convocation; powder puff activities; homecoming dance; Christmas dance and another blood drive on May 1. Student Council State Convention was considered the most exciting and successful event of the year. It in¬ volved one year of preparation time, over one thousand students, teachers and advisors, administrators and par¬ ents helping put on a weekend con¬ vention for the promoting of Student Councils throughout the state. Any student in high school can be a Student Council member. All that is required is to fill out a petition, sub¬ mit it within two weeks, campaign and win the position being sought. For next year, the Student Council hopes to run a successful and inspired council. They also hope to get the ma¬ jority of Lowell High students in¬ volved in some sort of positive, useful school activity.

Chess is a game that requires intellectual skill and mental concentration. To encour¬ age the playing of chess the club com¬ petes against area schools. At the Hebron Invitational in No¬ vember, Lowell placed third out of ten teams. They also did well at the Southlake Mall regional. Any male or female knowing or wanting to learn how to play chess is eligible to be a member. The club plans to be larger and stronger next year. By recruiting new members, Chess Club hopes to compete in more tournaments and bring more honors back to Lowell High School. Craig Schmidt ponders his next move against his challenger. Matt Cummins.

The newspaper serves the school in several ways. It informs the students of upcoming events, provides an arena for the exchange of ideas on critical issues and affords students an opportunity to develop the skills and talents involved in the publication of the newspaper. One of the highlights of the year for the Devils’ Advocate was their annual sale and publication of Christmas greetings. Enough Christmas greet¬ ings were sold to fill twelve full Advo¬ cate pages. The Senior edition is ea¬ gerly awaited each year. It is an issue devoted exclusively to the graduating class. Although labeled a club, they see themselves as considerably more. They are an organization bound to their advertisers by contract for a bi¬ weekly publication and the students’ most articulate source of news. Any student is eligible to become a mem¬ ber of the staff if they are willing to devote time and energy to keeping their fellow students informed of school news.

The purpose of the school yearbook is to provide an accurate re¬ cord of the preceding school year as well as to increase each staff mem¬ ber’s journalism skills. Any student with a sincere interest in writing or photography is eligible to be a staff member. They should also be willing to devote many long hours and effort to meet deadlines and to create the best yearbook possi¬ ble. This yearbook you are now read¬ ing reflects this philosophy. The 1981 Lowellian tried some new and successful ideas. A Beatles’ song provided this yearbook with an appropriate theme, “In My Life”. The Senior section was expanded by adding some new features, such as Baby Pictures and Hall of Fame. For the first time, the yearbook used original artwork provided by Sandi Skillman. While this yearbook is the best this staff has produced this year, there is always room for improvement and new ideas next year.

Now add the realism of the Art Guild and your picture is complete. Through the efforts of this organiza¬ tion, students with an interest in de¬ veloping their artistic abilities can test their ideas, skills and imagination in a variety of ways. Under the guid¬ ance of Mr. Sufana and Mrs. Ander- shock, Art Guild members have a chance to work on solutions to ques¬ tions of design and decoration, create their own masterpieces or provide col¬ or and decoration to the school during holidays and special events. This year, the Art Guild sponsored bake sales to make a trip to the Art Institute in Chicago possible. There they were able to expand their knowl¬ edge and appreciation of art and pick up some pointers. To make their ad¬ venture even more thrilling, the mem¬ bers enjoyed the sights, shops, and foods of the city, particularly with a lunch at Marshall Field’s. The stu¬ dents came back to Lowell armed with ideas and ready to tackle a new art project. 206 Ads 212 Ads Ads 213 214 Ads Catch that Pepsi Spirit Drink it in!

center around those we love. And l think about those people who mean so much to me, and I count the times I have forgotten to say, Thank you” and just how much I love them. —Felice Mancini 234 Sometimes Sometimes 235 . . . A dedication is a devotion to a seri¬ ous purpose. This dedication in this book is the most serious part of this book. This is to thank all of the people and places who deserve a very special “Thank You ”. These people have dedicated, in some way, something to this 1981 LOWELLIAN. The yearbook staff, I think, has grown, not only in membership, but as a family. We all laughed, decided on ideas, and mostly worked together as one, big happy family. The individuals who devoted time to this book are: Mr. Goodman, who devoted golfing time, other meetings’ time, and just “wanting to go home” time to put white space in this book. Thank you for all the encouraging comments about the book and about me. In October, Miss Carey stepped into our territory. She had the jouna- listic talents for and knowledge of how a yearbook should be produced. Thanks Miss Carey for all of the many hours of convincing, laughter, and teaching me and the rest of the staff. Three of the most devoted and talented people on the staff who de¬ serve thanks are Nancy Vandercar, for her copy writing; Bob Hardy for his layout ability; and Sandi Skillman for her original art work throughout the book. Many hours were spent by these people to make this book yours. People not directly on the staff also deserve thanks. Root Photography is responsible for many of the pictures in this book. Thank you! Our Herff Jones representative, George Kings¬ ley, Jr., was a very big help to us and deserves a big THANK YOU for the extra type sheets (desperately need¬ ed), the pizza he promised, and all the terrific advice that he gave us. With¬ out all these people, there wouldn’t be a wonderful yearbook like this one in your hands. Thank you to all of you for your devotion to the 1981 LOWELLIAN.

To the businesses of Lowell, we give a big thanks for their support in buying ads. Without them there wouldn’t be a book at all. But most of all, I thank you, the student of LHS. You helped us by purchasing our 1981 Lowellian. by responding to our surveys willingly, and by offering your ideas and opin¬ ions. It’s helped make this book espe¬ cially for YOU!
