Many students feel that “the circular building gets to you after awhile.” Even though the structure of the school is often overlooked by many, it is very unique. The round building, hall¬ ways, office, and architectural de¬ sign all affect the people of Lowell. However, the school is not the only way people are influenced to think in circles. The year of 1982 brought back many fashions that were around in the ’50’s and ' 60 ' s. The thin tie and the preppie look” all came back during the school year. I should have saved my old clothes from when I was in high school,” said Mr. Bill Berger, teacher at Lowell, “I would be right in style,” he continued. A moderately successful sports year brought much spirit to Low¬ ell. Spirit was something that over the last few years has been low. The Theatre Arts Department continued their success, bringing back the popularity of live theatre to Lowell. Finally, the students regained respect for their school which has been lacking for many years. All of these changes were brought about because of a basic reason. In the past few years the school has been divided. This school year brought the student body closer together. 1982 will be remembered as a year when the divided groups of Lowell High united as one, and “came full circle.” Coming Full Circle 3 L.H.S. Students at After spending over seven hours a day at school, five days a week, the student often needs some sort of entertainment to balance out the work. The student life of a Lowell High school student has much variety. During the 1981-82 school year the school held many of the tradi¬ tional events. Sports events, plays, and dances were just a few of the events that were open to students during the year. The stu¬ dent may take part in the produc¬ tion of these events, or just ob¬ serve. Many students traveled out of town for entertainment. Lowell’s students could always be found in the Southlake Mall, in the various cinemas in the area, or attending concerts in Chicago. Even though the students have many opportunities to take a break from school, most students would agree to the statement that “the weekends hardly ever seem to be long enough!” 4 Student Life Work and Play Student Life 5 Summer In Action Sunshine, sunsets, beaches, va¬ cations, sports, and shorts—all of these things come together once a year for summer vacation. Dur¬ ing the summer of 1981, LHS stu¬ dents could be found everywhere from the beach, Europe, summer practices, the streets of New York, and like many stude nts, Ju¬ lie Gidley, a freshman, said she “sat back and relaxed in the sun.” In mid-June, a group of Thespi¬ ans and Mrs. Ciochina traveled to New York for one week, spending their time seeing Broadway shows and sightseeing. Both Darla Snell and Petra Cox traveled to Europe, visiting Fin¬ land, Norway and Germany. Many students had summer jobs that kept them busy. Corn de- tasseling was a common job among many freshmen and soph¬ omore students. Workshops and camps were a major part of some summer plans. Four Student Council members traveled to Tuscon, Arizona for the Student Council National Con¬ vention. After attending work- A perfect setting for a summer day can always be found in a sunset. shops dealing with various topics, the four girls commented “It was a learning experience we will al¬ ways remember.” Shawn Clark spent eight weeks of his summer vacation at Indiana University attending a Science In¬ stitute. Bob Hardy, Nancy Vander- car and Dianne Wleklinski were also at Indiana University for a Journalism Institute. With the ex¬ perience they had a chance to for- see what college life might be like. In mid-July, Mrs. Ciochina, Tom Gunning, and Bonnie Swanson took part in the Crown Point Play- maker’s production of MAME in which Mrs. Ciochina played the leading lady, “Auntie Marne”. Members of the ROTC attended a camp in addition to taking a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit land¬ marks and museums. The summer of 1981 had much variety for the students of Lowell High School and it foreshadowed a school year of new experiences. 6 Summer Activities A group of Thespians, Brad Donnelly, Bonnie Swanson, Diana Jazwinski, Patricia Gunning, Susanna Jazwinski, Tom Gunning, George Schmelter, Anne Gayfield and Donna Blan- Marriott’s Great America is the favorite chard pose for a picture while in New York. amusement park to attend in the summer.

Lisa Kormendy rated a 10” with spirit on Crazy Hair Day during Homecoming spirit week. 8 Homecoming 1982 Homecoming Week Even though the Devils pushed for victory, as Chris Richards demonstrates, they ran out of time in a close game. Homecoming ... a time for fun and games. The week of October 12-17, Homecoming Week this year, was very exciting. Many ac¬ tivities were going on in and out of school. During the week, each class was competing to win the Spirit Stick which symbolizes which class has the most spirit. This year, the class that had the most spirit was the sophomore class. On the night of October 14, the Powder Puff game was played. Be¬ fore the game, there was a parade in which all the floats were judged. The winning float from Vocational Auto traveled from Harding’s to the school parking lot in the tradi¬ tional Homecoming parade. At the field, the traditional bonfire was held. During halftime of the Pow¬ der Puff game, Dave Elliott was crowned Powder Puff King and reigned over a game won by the freshman-sophomore team in a very close match. During half-time, Lynn Hall was crowned Lowell’s 1981 Home¬ coming Queen. After the game, the Homecom¬ ing Dance provided a lovely end to a week of many activities. As the King and Queen shared their first dance,Homecoming 1981 be¬ came history. The Seniors showed their spirit by creating the Devils ' Den during Spirit Week deco¬ rating. Mr. Toland gives the freshman and sophomore PowderPuff team a pep talk during the PowderPuff game, where the junior-senior team was defeated. Homecoming 1982 9 Cast finds “YouCAN Take it with You.” “You can’t take it with you,” or can you? The cast and crews of the fall play, “You Can’t Take it With You,” found the answer to this question throughout rehears¬ als of the show. The turnout for auditions was the best yet. Over 75 people tried out for 20 parts. Mrs. Ciochina ex¬ plained the casting decisions best in an article she wrote for the DEV¬ IL’S ADVOCATE: “Have you ever tried to decide between a huge slice of chocolate layer cake and a hot double-fudge sundae? If so, you will fully understand the di¬ lemma that faces a high school drama director as she attempts to select a cast for her show.” The well known play is a comedy that was written during the De¬ pression. However, the comic hu¬ mor of the script was not outdat¬ ed. In these times of inflation and high prices, the audience was re¬ minded by Grandpa” that “You can’t take it with you.” Many factors added to the pro¬ duction of the play. The cast was complemented by 1930’s original clothes for costumes, profession¬ al hairstyling, and antique pieces of furniture donated by various antique shops for the set. With all of these material things, Mrs. Ciochina told the cast and crews on opening night, “You can ' t take the sets, costumes, or material objects with you, but you can take all the memories and love with you. You CAN take it with you.” Anne Bruce and Tom Gunning portrayed the young couple in love. Husband and wife, Kelly DeVine and Bonnie Swanson, compliment each other well.

Fall Play 11 “In Style” for 1982 During 1982, many fads and fashions influenced life at Lowell High School. Rubik’s Cube hit the market and was a complete mind boggier for most people. However, after weeks of furiously working with the cube, many students found the solution—either on their own or with the help of the answer book. Rock n ' Roll still proved it was more than a fad, by reigning the music business. However, th e styles and types of Rock Music changed rapidly from Punk to Hard Rock. Styles in dress took two basic courses throughout the year, Preppie and Punk. The “Preppie look,” born in the East Coast, fi¬ nally reached the Midwest and topsiders and khakies were a must for many students. In contrast, other students preferred the brighter colors and more unique clothes of punk to cast a new wave or punk rock look. Many students took both routes and became “Preppie Punks.” Designer jeans stayed in style and became more of a common fashion among both girls and boys. Tom Gunning. Jane Borkowski, and Diana Jazwinski demonstrate a fad that is always “in”—friendship. The Rubik ' s Cube was one of the most pop¬ ular fads of 1982. 12 Greg Jazwinski “punks out” at a punk par¬ ty held in November. 13 Winners Step Forth From Lowell ' s 1982 Junior Miss, Jane Borkowski manages a smile through tearful eyes. The nineteenth annual Junior Miss Pageant which took place Sunday, November 1, 1981, in the Little Theatre, had many charac¬ teristics that set it apart from pag¬ eants in past years. This year it was an afternoon event beginning at 2:00 p.m. The Lowell Chamber of Commerce was the new spon¬ sor with Miss Pat McAllister as the director. She was assisted by Miss Barbara Gidley, who helped the girls with Poise and Appearance portion of the program. Staging was done by the Cedar Lake Jay- cees. Without contestants, there would be no pageant. Thirty-three energetic young women partook in the program, making it the big¬ gest ever. Jane Borkowski was crowned Lowell’s Junior Miss for 1982. The fifth runner-up was Bonnie Swanson; fourth, Anne Gayfield; third, Terri Richards; second, Ju¬ lie Brunner; and Diana Jazwinski was first runner-up. Donna Blanchard was voted as Miss Congeniality and received the Spirit of Junior Miss Award. Christy Czerwinski received the Youth Fitness Award. Poise and Appearance was won by Terri Richards. Diana Jazwinski re¬ ceived the highest score in the Judge’s Conference. This year, there was a separate award for creative talent and per¬ forming talent. Anne Gayfield re¬ ceived the creative portion of the award and Bonnie Swanson was awarded the performing part. The Scholastic Achievement award was won by Jane Borkowski. The contestants performed their Physical Fitness number which was choreographed by Pat McAllister, Junior Miss director. 14 Junior Miss 1982 A “New” Pageant The moment you ' ve all bee r aiting for, finds 1981 ' s Junior Miss, Shelly Miller, turning Donna Blanchard received the Spirit of Ju- over her title to Jane Bork ski. nior Miss award.

Here, she performs her Physical Fitness routine. “I learned a lot,” said Lowell’s Junior Miss, Jane Borkowski. During the week of January 17 to 24, Jane Borkowski spent her time in Frankfort, Indiana attend¬ ing the 1982 State Junior Miss Pageant. Jane spent Sunday through Tuesday rehearsing. Wednesday was the first night of the prelimi¬ nary judging which continued through Friday and ended on Sat¬ urday night with the finals. Jane performed her talent on Thursday night, and her physical fitness rou¬ tine on Friday. The highlight of Jane’s perfor¬ mance during the finals was when she received the over-all Scholas¬ tic Achievement Award and Schol¬ arship. “I was really happy about the award because I felt I was winning ti more for Lowell than myself,” Jane said. Even though it was a long and trying week where she was sepa¬ rated from her parents and friends, Jane concluded, I had a good time even though I missed everyone and I really appreciate being back in Lowell.” A Little Warmth in Winter To keep tradition, the Student Council again sponsored the an¬ nual Christmas dance. Two hun¬ dred and two students and chap¬ erones, Bill Kalbac, Student Council sponsor; Kirk and Sue McQuiston; and Assistant Princi¬ pal Tom Johnson and his wife GiGi, joined together in the multi-pur¬ pose room and the Devil’s Com¬ mons on Saturday, December 19, 1981 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The theme “Chestnuts Roast¬ ing On An Open Fire,” was reflect¬ ed in the formal dance. The deco¬ rations consisted of an artificial Christmas tree and a fireplace decorated with stockings naming each couple attending. Music was provided by The Dots and record¬ ings of popular songs and the theme song, “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire” were played. The couples will remember the event with pictures taken by Spa- soff Studios. Cookies and punch were served by the Student Council also. Scott Young and Diane Sherman share a slow dance. Get That Country Feelin’ Approximately 200 students got a taste of country life at the Sadie Hawkins Dance on March 19, 1982. The junior class set the mood of the evening with bales of hay and cornstalks as decorations in the Devils ' Commons and Multi-Pur¬ pose Room. The band, South¬ bound, provided music as couples were “hitched” by preachers John Toland and Jeff Dhonau. Since the dance is a traditional “turnabout”, girls could be heard saying, “I think I’ll ask him to Sa¬ die,” or “He won’t say ’yes’!”. However, when the day of the dance finally arrived, many cou¬ ples were seen wearing matching shirts, cowboy hats and boots to have their pictures taken against a country background provided by Spasoff Studios. After a night of dancing, enjoy¬ ing refreshments provided by the junior class and good company, students went home with that “down-home feeling .

Practices 19 “No one can be shy in this show,” com¬ mented Mrs. Ciochina. John the Baptist Judas played by Tom Gunning betrays Jesus, played by George Schmelter. Godspell—“A “A celebration of life” was the comment that Debra Ciochina, Lowell High’s drama director, used to sum up the message of GODSPELL, the winter produc¬ tion. GODSPELL, written by John Mi¬ chael Telebak, is a rock musical based on the Gospel according to St. Matthews. The production used many forms of theatrical devices, in¬ cluding pantomime, charades, and dancing. However, one of the most important requirements for this show was energy. As Mrs. Ciochina explained at auditions, I’m looking for 12 peo¬ ple who can constantly give me 110%. With GODSPELL you can’t have a “down” rehearsal.” Although plagued by many problems, such as snow days which caused long double re¬ hearsals, the cast was very dedi¬ cated to the show. The production of GODSPELL was filled with many new ideas and first” attempts. There were many new methods introduced to both the spectators and partici¬ pants of GODSPELL. The winter production was a project undertaken by the Thespi¬ an Troupe. The entire show was put together by Thespians, Mrs. During a touching moment, Diana Jazwinski, one of the disciples, gives a final goodbye to Jesus. 20 Godspell Celebration Of Life” Ciochina, and two musical direc¬ tors, Mary Lou Merkner, and Pa¬ trice Martin. For the audience, the show in¬ troduced a new system of ticket sales. GODSPELL brought re¬ served seating to LHS instead of general admission. The audience also had the choice of attending one of four performances since the show was performed on two separate weekends. For the cast and crews, GOD- SPELL brought many challenges. One of the toughest challenges for the cast was the music. In past musicals, the accompaniment consisted of a piano. GODSPELL, however, utilized a full rock band for musical accompaniment. Finally the cast was tested on the basis of their acting ability. Un¬ like past shows where a role is as¬ signed and the actor plays a differ¬ ent person, GODSPELL gave the cast the chance to “play them¬ selves” as Mrs. Ciochina ex¬ plained. By revealing “themselves” to the audience the cast was able to transfer the message of GOD¬ SPELL—“celebration” to an in¬ volved and receptive audience. The cast joined together in the singing of Jesus Love Me in a scene from GODSPELL. The crucifixation proved to be one of the most emotional parts of GODSPELL.

The best album of 1981 was REO Speedwagon’s “High In Fi- delty,” (according to Rolling Stone magazine), and the Rolling Stone’s “Tattoo You” topped the charts in spring of 1982. The Rolling Stones also went out for their so-called “final tour” where the band made so much money, they later decided to tour Europe. “Chariots of Fire was awarded an Oscar for Best Picture of the Year, winning over block-busters such as Reds”, “Ragtime,” and On Golden Pond.” Daytime television made it’s mark as both males and females could be found watching Luke and Laura on the popular soap opera General Hospital.” Prime time suffered to find a hit that wouldn’t be canceled, but instead came out ahead with oldies such as “MASH.” and Barney Miller.” The most popular form of enter¬ tainment proved to be in the video world, as Pac Man swept the Na¬ tion. In sports, the delayed World Se¬ ries title went to the Dodgers. The Super Bowl was won by the San- fransico 49er’s. ‘‘Superbrat,” John McEnroe, won both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon.

Feature 23 The 1982 Prom Court: Dave Fredericks Parks; Prom Queen Cheri Brown and Prom Davis; Cindy Berner and Mike Schest and Eileen Moriarty; Ross Parker and Ellen King Todd Norton; Penny Weiand and Roy Paradise Island Beckons An island paradise awaited 120 couples who crossed over a white, arched bridge into the Multi-Pur¬ pose Room on the evening of May 15, 1982. Once inside, guests at the Junior-Senior Prom danced to the music of SUNSET EXPRESS, relaxed with friends at tables set against murals of tropical scenes or enjoyed refreshments provided by the junior class. The theme “Paradise Island could be seen in all the decora¬ tions designed by the juniors. Palm trees, live plants, sea shells and flowers welcomed guests to what “was” the Devils’ Commons. The focal point here was a “ship¬ wrecked boat surrounded by sand and a treasure chest filled with “jewels”. As guests of the ju¬ niors, the seniors were greeted by “Alohas and flowered leis as their entrance onto the dance floor was formally announced. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King and Queen, Todd Norton and Cheri Brown by Superintendent, Mr. John Kuruzovich and his wife. As the court danced to the theme song, “Sailin’ ’’ by Christopher Cross, memories of the 1982 Prom settled in each mind’s eye. Tina White and Bob Mitchell took a rest from dancing under the papier mache palm trees which were part of the tropical decorations. 24 Prom An island setting provided a romantic background for Lori Wietbrock and her prom date.

Cast “Gives Their “Give my Regards to Broad¬ way.” On April 29, 30, and May 1, the cast of Lowell High’s spring musical—GEORGE M, gave their regards to Broadway. This song and a score of others such as “Over There,” Yankee Doodle Dandy,” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” were just a few of the many musical numbers for the musical. GEORGE M is the life story of the famous composer, director, and actor—George Michael Co¬ han—“the man who owns Broad¬ way.” Tom Gunning, a junior, lead the cast by playing the role of George M. In his first leading role, the musical demanded of Gunning acting, singing, and dancing. “This is THE strongest cast I’ve ever worked with,” commented Mrs. Debra Ciochina, director. The cast was complemented by over 400 costumes made just for the production. On May 1 after the show, the annual closing ceremonies were held, and Mrs. Ciochina bid fare¬ well to twenty seniors. Junior, Tom Gunning, creates the role of George M. Cohan in the spring musical, GEORGE M. “I’m his Yankee Doodle sweetheart” sings Diana Jazwinski during the chorus number “Yankee Doodle Dandy. 26 George M.

George M. 27 The year of 1981-82 was a mix¬ ture of peace and turmoil. Millions of people world-wide witnessed the wedding of Charles, the Prince of Wales, to Lady Diana Spencer. On October 6, while viewing a military parade, the president of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, was assasinated by a group of ter¬ rorists. Poland stuck behind Lech Walesa and Solidarity, winning Wa¬ lesa the title of “Man of the Year” from TIME magazine. The end of the school year was the beginning of the war between Britain and Ar¬ gentina over the Falkland Islands. In national news, eve ryone was affected by “Reganomics” where budgets cuts touched Congress, tax-payers, and students applying for financial aid. However, infla¬ tion did drop in percentage and at the same time Congress approved a bid to raise the National Debt over $1 trillion. The summer was the time for strikes as baseball fans suffered through a summer of no baseball, and no air traffic controllers. (PATCO lost their jobs after refus¬ ing to obey Mr. Reagan’s orders to return to work). While the traffic controllers and air traffic were grounded, the space shuttle Columbia made two successful flights during 1981-82. The computer field proved to be the best bet for jobs, both at work and home, as video games hit an all-time sales high. Critics and moviegoers were de¬ lighted when Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda came together on the screen for an Academy Award winning performance in “On Golden Pond”. In contrast, America was stunned by the sud¬ den death of John Belushi, a well- known comedian and actor, made popular by the television show, “Saturday Night Live”.

The Senior Banquet gives the seniors one last chance to be to¬ gether as a class, talk about old memories, and make new memo¬ ries. After the seniors finished their catered dinner, the “Hall of Fame” winners were presented with certificates, and a few chosen seniors were awarded “gag prizes for the “Hall of Fun”. Awards such as “Least Common Sense, and “Most Likely to Go to Jail First” were given. “Sound Decision” then pro¬ vided music and the Multi-Pur¬ pose Room served as a dance floor for many happy seniors. Even though the banquet was over at 10:00 p.m., it kicked off a big weekend for the seniors—a weekend of happiness and sad¬ ness—Graduation.

He was talking about the Class of 1982 at the an¬ nual Baccalaureate and Com¬ mencement exercises on May 23. At 2:00 pm, 282 seniors, dressed in graduation caps and gowns marched in step to “Pomp and Circumstance” as proud par¬ ents, relatives, and friends looked on. The ceremony was highlighted by three senior speakers, Donna Blanchard, Terry Bauer, and Julie Brunner. “In the Beginning was the title of Donna’s speech, in which she spoke of the development of kin¬ dergartener’s to seniors. Terry Bauer spoke of goals, and how the class must continue to utilize, an¬ ticipate, and realize” those goals. Finally, Julie Brunner, explained how education continues after graduation in a speech titled Building on to our Education.” Diplomas were distributed, the class was presented, and with a turn of a tassel, the class of 1982 marched over a threshold to a new beginning.

' LHS Offers Dynamic With all the sports, clubs and free time LHS has to offer, some¬ times the main purpose of school is over-looked. Along with having a wide range of extra-curricular ac¬ tivities, LHS also houses a dynam¬ ic academics program. When entering the high school, freshmen are persuaded to choose whether they will concen¬ trate on an academic (college prep) or vocational (job-bound) high school career. No matter what the individual chooses, he then spends the rest of high school working for a major or completing the requirements with electives in either vocational or academic areas. Unlike most schools, where one area is emphasized more than the other, Lowell High offers a well- balanced curriculum to suit all stu¬ dents’ needs. For the college bound student, Lowell offers advanced English, math and science courses. In con¬ trast, for the job-bound student, numerous home ec and shop (Graphic Arts, Woods, Drawing, etc.) courses are offered. One of Lowell’s most overlooked, but most unique assets is the Auto Mechanics Annex where one sepa¬ rate building is dedicated to just the Auto Mechanics class. It’s why we’re at school in the first place,” is why the Lowellian staff decided to add an Academics section to the 1982 yearbook. “Upstairs, In Charge ... ” Highly visible, not always popu¬ lar, problem solvers, in charge, upstairs—all descriptions of the administration at Lowell. This year, Mr. Don Bales joined the administrative staff as Athletic Director. As administrator in charge of the athletic program, it was his job to schedule and cancel athletic events, budget funds and help sponsor the L club. The Guidance Department, un¬ der the direction of Mr. Ron Mills, continued to reorganize and up¬ grade the arena scheduling pro¬ cess. Fewer students had schedul¬ ing problems which had to be resolved in arena since most stu¬ dents, with the help of their coun¬ selors, were able to construct workable class schedules pro¬ cessed by computers. Working with the school board, the administration and guidance made changes in graduation re¬ quirements which will affect fu¬ ture classes. They say it’s lonely at the top but those in charge of LHS contin¬ ued to remain “on top” of things. i! if V] jy If fit TRI-CREEK SCHOOL BOARD: Dr. Raymond Cusic, Assistant Superintendent; Mrs. Hazel Nichols, Mr. Frank Kwiecien, Mrs. Mary Hayden, Mr. John Bryant, Dr. Joseph Schuster, Assistant Superintendent; Mrs. Joyce Kramer, Mr. John Kuruzovich, Superintendent 38 Administration The administration was often seen super¬ vising. mingling or discussing the events of GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT: ROW 1: Mrs. Arlene Vandermark, Mr. Lee Perry ROW 2: Mr. a school day.

CAN i ILL HELP S • HAT E SET 40 English Department English Credits Increase AKE Because of a change in gradu¬ ation requirements, it became necessary this year to add a new course to the English curriculum. This year’s senior class needed seven credits of English which could be satisfied with Reading, Drama, Speech or the new course, Senior English. The focus of the semester course was to educate and pre¬ pare seniors for situations they would be faced with outside of Lowell High School. Students learned how to properly fill out tax forms and apartment leases; they studied the language of contracts and other legal documents. A unit on the newspaper and advertising was also included. The reading of Shakespeare’s MACBETH and the novel, BRAVE NEW WORLD were more traditional English activities. Another addition to the English department was in the form of two new staff members. Ms. Wendy Black, an alumnus of Lowell High School, replaced Ms. Long in teaching junior English. Teaching freshman English this year was Mr. Clyde Hall since Mr. Joe Lorig moved full time into the Physical Education Department. r i Mr. Barlowe regularly drills his sophomore classes in vocabulary. English Department 41 LHS Enters Computer Age The placement of four new com¬ puters in the Math Resource Cen¬ ter brought the computer age to Lowell High School. The computers served many purposes. As teaching tools, stu¬ dents in Computer Math and Computer Club used the ma¬ chines to solve problems and gain experience and skill while at the same time learned the language and operation of the computer. On a trial basis, students taking the SAT test could buy computer time to practice for the test. By answering sample test questions, students could improve their over-all scores. In the Adult Education Program offered at Lowell, Mr. Larry Ouwenga taught a course in com¬ puters to members of the faculty and community. In all, the computers have sparked a new interest in math at Lowell. Open House in December gave parents and students a chance to meet members of department and see the computers in action. Mr. Jim Goetz, Mr. Larry Ouwenga, Mr. Richard Servies, Mr. John Skinner, Mr. Kirk McQuiston 42 Math Department The new Commodore computers gave students the first-hand e xperience of computer technology. Math Department 43 Science Materials Updated As things age, they begin to fall apart and “Herkimer” the Sci¬ ence Department skeleton, was no exception. After some ten odd years of diligently hanging around the science lab, he was missing bones that no respectable skele¬ ton should be missing, not to men¬ tion the fact that he was also los¬ ing teeth. It took the Lowell Lions Club to remedy the situation. Last fall, the Lions Club presented the high school with “Leo , named in hon¬ or of the Lions Club, a used, but only “one owner skeleton in per¬ fect shape. “Leo even came with a lockable metal cabinet in which he could be hung when not in use. Hopefully, by hiding in the locked metal cabinet, he will avoid the same fate that Herkimer” real¬ ized, transfer to the Physical Edu¬ cation Department. 1981-82 also was the year the department adopted new text¬ books and classroom materials. For many classes, this meant an updating of material with the basic format of class remaining the same. One class, however, changed completely. General Sci¬ ence students now have a text¬ book and will deal with science education from a more traditional standpoint. The study of matter on the atomic level, or chemistry, poses problems for some. 44 Science Department A dissection lab in biology helps students to better understand animal life. ROTC students can earn science credit by taking Aerospace Education. Science Department 45 ROW 1: Mr. Omer Beeching, Department Chairperson; Mr. Jeff Stone.

In his psychology class Mr. Naumowich used role playing games to teach con¬ cepts. Mrs. Margaret Hurt, Mr. Mike Kamanaroff, Mr. Chuck Naumowich, Mr. Chris Nicolini, Mrs. Fran Lonardi, Mr. Randy Deweese Students Probe Society Sociology students in Mrs. Lonardi ' s class wrote commercials and saw Elephant Man in their study of society. Lowell’s Social Studies Depart¬ ment offers more than the tradi¬ tional courses in history, govern¬ ment and economics. With psychology and sociology as part of the curriculum, students can learn more about themselves and their place in society. In psychology, students ex¬ plored the theories of child devel¬ opment. To put theory into prac¬ tice, students spent time with children and videotaped their per¬ ceptions of the world. A major unit of study in sociolo¬ gy was the mass media and its ef¬ fect on individuals. Students cre¬ ated their own commercials for products using various ad tech¬ niques to show how the public can be persuaded to buy.

At her training station, Sue Talarek shar¬ pens her secretarial skills. 48 Business Department Work Shown in Art Fairs Mr. Tom Sufana, Department Chairperson; Mrs. Pat Andershock Lowell’s art students and de¬ partment members had the op¬ portunity to exhibit their work twice this year. Mr. Sufana en¬ tered an Arizona landscape in competition while Mrs. Ander¬ shock submitted a floral work for judging. Lowell Art students held their own art fair this spring in the Dev¬ ils’ Commons. The showing coin¬ cided with the performances of George M” to enable more peo¬ ple to see the talent and work de¬ veloped in the Art Department. Again this year Mr. Sufana helped the junior class with Prom decorations. Theresa Salat. Maureen Moriarty and Evelyn Anderson serve as critics for each other ' s The Art Department offers a variety of art work courses from Basic Art to Ceramics. Art Department 49 Drawing students Chris Tauber and Bob Burge get advice from Mr. Kalbac on their project. Compugraphics at LHS The Industrial Education De¬ partment is considered a “hands on area of the curriculum since students use the actual tools and machines of a particular trade. This year, students enrolled in Graphic Arts were using the new Commodore Compugraphics typesetter and word processor purchased by the department. The machine made the setting of lines of type more precise and professional-looking. The newspa¬ per staff also made use of the ma¬ chine in the setting of copy and headlines for each issue. New to the department this year was Mr. John Toland who taught metals and welding. Students in the department are also members of Industrial Club. Their class projects were on dis¬ play at Southlake Mall this spring. Featured were a wooden gun cabi¬ net, the department’s “pet” ro¬ bot and a life-size metal sculpture. ROW 1: Mr. Bill Kalbac, Mr. Bob Thomas, Mr. Jerry Cameron ROW 2: Mr. Bud Kussy, Mr. Bob Hopper, Mr. John Toland 50 Industrial Education Department Learning Not in Books The refreshments served at Open House were prepared and served by Home Ec students. The Vocational Education De¬ partment taught students how to change an oil filter, decorate a cake, skillfully combine on-the-job training with classes at LHS and design a wardrobe. To accomplish all this, depart¬ ment members relied on many re¬ sources, both in and out, of school which gave students a look at the “real” world that couldn’t be found in textbooks. Child Development and Family Relations classes used filmstrips and a guest lecturer to expose stu¬ dents to the joys and problems as¬ sociated with the adult responsi¬ bility of a family. These tools provided many topics for discus¬ sion. In the Automotive Annex, stu¬ dents worked on real car prob¬ lems for experience. In ICE, junior and senior stu¬ dents divided their time between classes at Lowell and part-time jobs in the community. In Home Ec, Sheri Menefee learned the Mr. Norbert Blanchard, Mrs. Karen Brownell, Mr. Jim Kane, Mrs. Wilma Hardesty, Depart- skill of cake decorating. ment Chairperson Vocational Education Department 51 A New Sound For Music A new set of marching percus¬ sion equipment, choir risers, a grand piano, an upright piano and new music were just some aspects of the music department’s new look. Band I and II, Choir, and Mu¬ sic Theory I and II made up the music department which all un¬ derwent some changes this year. The band changed its marching style to a corps style format. The majorettes, Devilettes, and flag corp performed with the band at home football and basketball games. The choir membership grew once again. Lowell was represent¬ ed by the choir in the district cho¬ ral festival at Caston High School in Fulton, Indiana. The choir’s an¬ nual spring concert entitled “Spring Spectacular ’82,’’ this year included the Chorus of the Dunes. The concert this year was held in the Little Theatre. Students from both band and choir participated in the ISSMA District and State Solo and En¬ semble Contests. The annual music awards ban¬ quet took place at the end of the year to honor students involved in band director, Mrs. Julia Lorig, choir director, and the Lowell Mu¬ sic Boosters presented the awards.

Lucy Schrader The new wireless lab gave Spanish students privacy in hearing themselves speak the language. Lab Aids Language Study This year, the Foreign Language Department resembled a scene from ‘‘Star Wars” since it added the new portable, wireless labora¬ tory. Spanish and French students could be seen with headphones in place privately sharpening their language skills. The new headsets operate like radios. There are no wires to con¬ nect them to the lab; they send radio signals. ‘‘It helps students to block out noises and gives them privacy. They can also hear themselves during drills,” said Mrs. Nancy Mills, Spanish teacher. Foreign language students have done more than make use of the new labs in their studies. French students presented scenes from “Carmen” to middle school stu¬ dents. Advanced Spanish stu¬ dents toured Mexico last summer. Commented Mrs. Mills, “Our goal in the department is to im¬ merse our students in many phases of the culture they study. 54 Foreign Language Department Ms. Faith Russert, Mrs. Nancy Mills, Mrs. Nancy Carter PE Sees Staff Changes Mr. Steve Leonard, Ms. Cheryle Mitchell, Mr. Joe Lorig, Mr. Tom Renn, Mrs. Joy Hater, Department Chairperson The Physical Education Depart¬ ment saw some major changes and shifts in personnel. Mr. Don Bales left the depart¬ ment as a member to head the whole athletic program at Lowell as Athletic Director. Mr. Steve Leonard joined Lowell as a PE instructor and head bas¬ ketball coach. In his first year as coach he enforced many new rules as he took the Devils to an exciting Sectional round. Mr. Joe Lorig joined the depart¬ ment on a full-time basis teaching Drug Ed. and serving as head foot¬ ball coach. He previously had coached and was a member of the English Department. The I and D course offered gave upperclassmen and athletes a chance to develop their athletic talents off the playing field and to also apply more “academic” skills in a PE course. PE students compare their jumping height against one another with the adjustable bar.

They were the secretaries and aides. They were invaluable to the smooth running of the school. Mrs. Kasparian, Mr. Luekens’ secretary, got her much deserved recognition this year. She was one of five finalists for Secretary of the Year. She was nominated by Mr. Luekens and honored not only here at Lowell with flowers and messages but also at a luncheon at the Holiday Inn. The jobs of typing of the daily attendance, keeping track of all student absences and tardies, and daily correspondences was a time-consuming and sometimes difficult job. The job was made easier this year. Mrs. Sandy Daley explained, “We have memory typewriters in the Attendance Office this year. It has helped a great deal to keep up with the tremendous amount of correspondence from the Atten¬ dance Office to parents.” In a day’s work, Mrs. Kasparian must deal with the problems of the administration, the faculty and students. 56 Secretaries and Aides Salad Bar Added to Menu A third menu choice of the salad bar lunch was added at the begin¬ ning of the school year. Located at the entrance to the Devils’ Com¬ mons, the salad bar cost 75 t for students and $1.10 for adults. Students and faculty had their choice of salad toppings and dressings and bread or dessert to complete the meal. The salad bar became a popular attraction. For the kitchen staff, it was an economical way to provide a balanced meal. For lunch eaters, it was a tasty and inexpensive al¬ ternative to hamburgers or spa¬ ghetti.

They vacuumed, dusted, washed and waxed floors, took out the gar¬ bage, and cleaned the tables after lunch mods. This year they were kept busy with numerous ceiling leaks. Once a year the administration evaluates the custodians and then meets with them to decide on any changes to make Lowell run more efficiently. This year’s evaluation must have been a good one because Ed Bohling, one of the daytime work¬ ers said, “Everyone ' s okay; every¬ thing’s okay. I like my job. I ' ve been with it for eight years and I wouldn’t be if I didn’t like my job.” ROW 1: Effie Roach, Beverly Roof, Pat Hamilton, Pearl McClymont, Mickey Hennin ROW 2: Jeff Harris.

During this day, clubs set up demonstrations and recruit new members for the school year. LHS has clubs for all types of people. For the athlete there is the L Club and Pep Club; for the performer, Theatre Arts and Swing Choir; for the industrialist, VICA and Industrial Ed., and for the intellect, the new Computer Club and National Honor Society. Many clubs keep active by fund raisers; others keep busy by going places and participating in differ¬ ent activities such as the Home¬ coming Parade. Most clubs provide a mixture of educational and recreational ac¬ tivities for their members. Be¬ cause of this, students who decide to ‘‘join in” during their ‘‘after hours gain knowledge while hav¬ ing fun. m GRAPP 58 Clubs Offer Variety Student Council Is for All ‘‘The Student Council is for ev¬ eryone.” The Student Council serves everyone—the students, the faculty, and the community. In 1982 the students benefited from the Christmas Dance, the Homecoming Parade, Court, Dance, and two convocations. The faculty was welcomed back to school at the annual picnic in August. The Student Council did a lot for the Lowell community and other communities in need of help. They organized and participated in blood drives, a canned food drive, a fund raiser for Muscular Dis- trophy, and they went to the Stu¬ dent Council State Convention. The 1981-82 Student Council officers were president, Julie Brunner; vice-president, Colette Searle; secretary, Lisa Mates; and treasurer, Andy Finn. “Dracula ' s guest appearance at the student Council dance promoted the group ' s blood drive. NHS Drive Top Activity ‘‘The National Honor Society does not conduct any extravagant or outlandish activities. We there¬ fore require little funds,” said Tirza Derflinger, National Honor Society president. The National Honor Society raised money from four bake sales held throughout the year. The most successful activity for the National Honor Society was their Christmas Drive. They placed Christmas boxes in the re¬ source centers for students to fill with canned goods, children’s books, toys, and records. These gifts were then donated to the needy at St. Anothony’s Hospital. In March, members traveled to Chicago to see the Broadway musical “They’re Playing Our Song”. They shared this trip with the LHS Thespians. National Honor Society confines their activities to service projects. 60 Clubs The Teacher’s Breakfast held in May rewarded the work of 55 girls who spent the year baking cook¬ ies, passing notes or sneaking around teacher’s mailboxes. Their job as Elfies came to an end at the Breakfast when they matched their hand-made name tags with those of their “teachers . The El- fie program and the Teacher ' s Breakfast were considered high¬ lights of the club’s year by Mrs. Hurt, co-sponsor of the group. The club’s first major activity was the annual Teacher for a Day. Participation by both teachers and FEA members made this year’s project a success. It helped to promote one of the group ' s goals which is to further interest in the teaching profession. FEA was also involved in service projects. They sold candy and fruit, wrote letters from Santa to children in the community and awarded a $200 scholarship to Marie Gleason, vice-president. Lowell High School has always considered its Office Education Chapter dynamic. Now, even the state of Indiana has recognized this by naming them “Chapter of the Year” at state competition in Indianapolis. From there, Dor- raine Midkiff, Cheri Brown, Dawn Beenes, and Sheila Payne repre¬ sented OEA in Nashville, Tennes¬ see in national competition. There Lowell’s OEA chapter placed fifth. To qualify as Chapter of the Year, the group had to sponsor activi¬ ties in keeping with their goals. OEA kept busy with a paper drive, citrus fruit sale, cheese and sau¬ sage sale, a balloon sale for Home¬ coming and a fund-raiser for Spe¬ cial Olympics. With 92 members strong, OEA qualifies as one of the largest clubs in the school. With its many awards, it qualifies as one of the best at LHS. Clubs 61 FEA Breakfas t Ends Year Teacher for a Day depends on the cooperation of administrators, faculty, and students. “Terrific Troupe” Awarded “Terrific Troupe—one of Indi¬ ana’s best” read the plaque awarded to the LHS Thespian Troupe 1691. This award was one of the nine awards presented to Lowell ' s Thespians and Theatre Arts members at the 1982 State Theatre Arts and Thespian con¬ vention. By packing over 40 people on a bus, entering almost every con¬ test possible, and generating a lot of spirit, the Theatre Arts Club earned the title of “The New Kid on the Block” from the Indiana State Theatre Arts director, Mr. Ray Casey. Along with working on conven¬ tion, the Theatre Arts Department added a Winter Show, and pro¬ duced three hit plays, “You Can’t Take it With You . “Godspell”, and “George M”. Representing Lowell’s Theatre Arts Department at the Indiana State Drama Convention, Kelly DeVine, Diana Jazwinski, Terry Bauer, and George Schmelter, accept their All-Star Technician award. Thespians Add Winter Show 1982 was a year of changes for the LHS Thespian Troupe. One of the biggest changes of the year was the addition of the winter pro¬ duction. The winter show, GOD- SPELL, was totally produced by the Thespians, Mrs. Debra Cio- china, musical director, Mary Lou Merkner, and Patrice Martin. “Thespians work to get points, and never really had anything to show for it,” explained Mrs. Cio- china, and because of this she de¬ cided to make the show a Thespi¬ an project. “This way, members of Theatre Arts will have a reason to work harder to become a Thespi¬ an,” continued Mrs. Ciochina. Along with GODSPELL the Thes¬ pians helped organize and plan for the Indiana State Drama Conven¬ tion, where they proved to be one of the top five troupes in Indiana. Brad Donnelly, one of the cast members of GODSPELL, the Thespian show, worked both behind stage and off. 62 Clubs Yearbook Adds New Features Fall yearbook distribution coincided with the first dance of the school year. The 1981-82 year brought many changes to the appearance and the structure of the LOWEL- LIAN yearbook. These changes were brought on by an experienced staff with new ideas. After spending two weeks at the High School Journalism Insti¬ tute at Indiana University, two staffers, Dianne Wleklinski and Nancy Vandercar, came back with new ideas, and the current trends in producing a yearbook. Many new features were added to the book which added greater coverage of the Student Life” of LHS, as well as news from outside of the school. An academics section was also added to this year’s book. Its addi¬ tion presented a more reasonable reason as to why the students are at school in the first place. Newspaper Tests New Style The newspaper met regularly to decide how best to present the news of LHS. The 1981-82 school year meant a new look for the DEVILS ' ADVO¬ CATE newspaper. The staff had the advantage of using the new graphic arts type¬ setter for uniformity of print. The newspaper was changed to a tri¬ weekly publication, and many new features were added, such as a letter to the editor column, staff and student spotlight columns and a sports editorial column. The staff began the year with a two-page back-to-school” flier which was followed by a second, eight-page regular edition. After these issues, the staff charged 10 t per issue, selling papers be¬ fore school and during lunch mods. Selling the paper had not been done for many years. The paper ran anywhere from four to 12 pages. Clubs 63 Exhibit Showcases Talent With one of the largest and most impressive displays, the Industrial Education Club exhibited their year’s worth of work at the Pro¬ ject Fair at Southlake Mall. All shop students are automatically members of the club, so on dis¬ play were electronic gadgets, woods designs and graphic arts projects. Their talents were also put to work paying for and building the project storage rooms. Their ef¬ forts also helped pay for 39 Indus¬ trial Education awards presented at Honors Night. Earlier this year, they placed second in the Home¬ coming Float competition. Kurt Wietbrock and Lance May- lath served as co-presidents with 18 members on the Executive Council. Next year, they plan to affiliate nationally. Students get practical experience while enjoying the fun” activities the group offers. VICA Sets Precedents This was a year of firsts for VICA—a first place float in the Homecoming Parade, Lowell’s first four-wheel drive rally, and the first time VICA spent their annual ski trip snowbound in a Methodist Church in Michigan. So successful were these events that the group plans to repeat them next year, but with some skiing included. VICA repeated some of its more successful past activities like its fruit sale, tool box raffle and car smash. As a group, they partici¬ pated in V.I.C.A. State elections and the VICA Skill Olympics. The group of 36 members also took a break from competition and elec¬ tions to attend the Auto Show in Chicago. The successful VICA Tool Box Raffle gets a promotion from Rich Herr and Terry Miller. 64 Clubs Annual Trip A Favorite The live Christmas tree on display in the North Commons was a combined project of the Art Guild and Art Department. A field trip to the Art Institute in Chicago with lunch at Berghoff ' s and a sightseeing tour were the highlights of the Art Guild’s club year. Bake sales helped finance the trip again this year. In the spring, the group of 20, under the direction of sponsors, Mrs. Pat Andershock and Mr. Tom Sufana participated in an Art Show at Southlake Mall. Paintings, sculptures and sketches done by the group were on display and judged. At Honors Night, Mrs. Ander¬ shock awarded Jeff Myers, presi¬ dent, the Art Guild Award for his service and dedication to the group and the Art Department for the past four years. Club Meets Two Goals There ' s more to a good picture than focusing and shooting. The purpose of the photogra¬ phy club is two-fold. First and fore¬ most it is a place and a time where people interested in learning pho¬ tography have the opportunity to pursue that interest. Second, it af¬ fords the members a chance to share their ideas and pictures and to learn from seeing other’s work. These goals were accomplished during the meetings by discus¬ sion, audio visual presentations such as movies and slide shows and critiques of members’ pic¬ tures that each brought in. Next year the Photography Club intends to add another di¬ mension to t he experiences avail¬ able to its members by offering a chance to work as staff photogra¬ phers for the school publications of the yearbook and newspaper. Clubs 65 L Club Moves To Community Things are looking up for the Lowell L Club. The president, Tim Todd; vice-president, Lisa Mates; secretary, Karen Grant; treasur¬ er, Dave Elliot, and sponsors, Mr. Don Bales and Ms. Cheryle Mitch¬ ell did a lot this year to organize and make it more active. In addition to athletic and school services, members of the L Club participated in community services. The group helped with Octoberfest, worked at home ath¬ letic events, and directed traffic in the parking lot at graduation, in addition to many other activities. ‘‘This has brought recognition to LHS L Club and promoted a working-together feeling among members,” said Ms. Mitchell. “We would like to become an even more active club in the school and the community.” Home fans throw their support behind the Cones during basketball season. Team Cheered to Sectionals Basketball Sectionals brought out the best in the team, the coach, and the school. It also brought out the spirit of the Bas¬ ketball Pep Club. Forty-five Lowell students got the chance to go wild and show Kankakee Valley the kind of “pep” Lowell has that took them to the championship game. During football season, the Football Pep Club kept fan and team morale high. Many close games found Pep Club working with the cheerleaders to let the Red Devils know they had sup¬ port. The group’s activities were limited to attendance and cheer¬ ing at games during the two major sports seasons. For ne xt year, new Pep Club sponsor, Ms. Wendy Black sug¬ gested, “We plan to have more members and more involvement by the members.” Pep Club members back the Devils at pep sessions and other athletic events. 66 Clubs Money Raised for Trips French Club joined with the choir to entertain guests at the Open House. The French Club was a very ac¬ tive club at Lowell High. The offi¬ cers were Sara Morrow, presi¬ dent; Tirza Derflinger, vice president; Jody Vandenberg, trea¬ surer; Lindsey Bryant, secretary; and Darlene Bauman, historical recorder. To be in French Club one must be enrolled in a French class. Some of their projects this year included a candy sale, a bake sale, and a cheese and sausage sale. They were able to have a Christ¬ mas party, and travel to Chicago for a visit to the art museum and lunch at a French restaurant in the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Mrs. Carter, sponsor and French teacher, said, “Since we have a tradition of taking a trip to a French-speaking country every other year, most of the club activi¬ ties include money-making pro¬ jects.” Next year is the year for a trip. Ontario, Canada, New Orleans, and Jamaica were mentioned as possible future trips for the club to work for. Ann Gayfield, Marie Gleason, and Tammy Zawadski sort flowers for Spanish Club ' s flower sale. “Say it with flowers” read the posters promoting the Spanish Clubs’ annual carnation flower sale. The flowers with personal messages attached was one of the biggest activities for the Spanish Club, but there were many others. Decorating a store window in downtown Lowell for homecom¬ ing was the first major activity. The club traveled to the Holiday Star Theatre in Merrillville to see the classical Spanish guitarist, Carlos Mantoya perform. Later, during the Christmas sea¬ son, the club members, as they have done in the past few years, went to Fewkes Nursing Home, and some of the high school facul¬ ty’s, homes to sing Christmas car¬ ols in Spanish. They had some ex¬ tra practice from singing at the annual Open House held before¬ hand. The Spanish Club finished its schedule of activities by enjoy¬ ing their traditional dinner at a Mexican restaurant, this time at Cisco’s in Merrillville. r . . , 7 Swing Choir Adds Routines Get out there and enjoy your¬ self, advised Mrs. Lorig, Swing Choir director, before many of the group’s performances. They had many chances to follow her ad¬ vice. The Swing Choir performed for LHS students and parents at school and also traveled to Ham¬ mond to display their talents. Performances this year inclu¬ ded numbers from last year such as a Beach Boys’ medley plus some new songs. Using a black light and white gloves for effect, the group added Higher and Higher” to their repertoire. The girls were featured in “In the Mood” while the male members took center stage for Elvira” by the Oak Ridge Boys. Interest in Swing Choir has grown. Approximately 60 people tried out for the 16 available posi¬ tions in the choir. The Swing Choir performs the Carpenters ' I Won ' t Last A Day Without You” at the Fall Concert. Computer Club Joins LHS The addition of computers to the Math Department brought about the addition of a new club to Lowell Hig h School, the Computer Club. So new was the club that of¬ ficers were not elected for this year and the group had no regular¬ ly scheduled meetings. Club mem¬ bers used the computers for half- hour mods during their unscheduled time. “Everything is new. We are just getting started and are trying to decide the best way to do things,” commented Mr. Ouwenga, club sponsor. The new computers and disk drive made it possible for students to not only gain experience with computers but also to use them for improving their work in school. Computer Club members had passes to use the computers on their unscheduled time. 68 Clubs FFA In “New” Year FFA members began a busy year with participation in the Labor Day Parade. Pull with us or pull out” was the new motto adopted by the “new FFA at Lowell. This year, the group was under the direction of a new sponsor, Mr. Rich Bailey; they entered many more compe¬ titions and attended more work¬ shops; they had as their president Don Hulsey, recipient of the Hoo- sier Farmer degree. All of this combined to give them a new” image. The group entered many live¬ stock, poultry and soil judging contests and established their reputation in and out of the state. Officers regularly attended lead¬ ership workshops and conven¬ tions to keep them aware of new trends. On the lighter side, fun” activi¬ ties like a District basketball game, a summer fishing trip and their banquet rounded out a new” year for FFA. Candle Sale Raises Funds The 1981-82 Sunshine Club was sponsored by Mrs. Karen Brownell again this year. Their objective was to bring a little sunshine” into the lives of those they come in contact with, not only at Lowell High School, but also in the com¬ munity. The biggest event for the Sun¬ shine Club this year was the selling of decorated candles at Christ¬ mas time. Each candle had a Christmas design and the club of¬ fered many styles. The officers for the 1981-82 club year were president, Joyce Marsh; vice-president, Tammy Zawadski; and secretary, Renee Delapaz. Clubs 69 Drill Team Has Full Show ROTC Drill Team members gave a demonstration of their talent at their annual Dining Out. Lowell’s ROTC Drill Team per¬ formed a full-scale show twice this year, at Open House in December and at the ROTC Dining Out in May. Throughout the year, the 16 members presented the colors at home athletic events. The Drill Team was commanded by C Lt. Col. Ray Vought, with as¬ sistance from Sgt. Carl Gayfield. Next year, according to Sgt. Gay- field, the group plans “more and better performances”. Unbeaten For Three Years The ROTC Rifle Team remained undefeated again this year. In their three matches, they beat Gary Lew Wallace once and Gary Wirt twice. This means that they have never been beaten in the three years they have existed. Fifteen members, divided into A and B teams, compete in match¬ es. And, in the words of Major Ben Rineheart, their sponsor, “Our plan is to beat everyone we face. They’re off to a good start! Bob Hegyi and Earl Schrader perform their routine at the annual Dining Out. 70 Clubs Bad weather forced the cancel¬ lation of many launches so the Rocket Club termed its year as only “mediocre”. However, the launches held which tested alti¬ tude and distance brought excit¬ ing results and scores, according to C Lt. Col. Janet Decker, presi¬ dent of Rocket Club. When weath¬ er permitted, the 21 members launched the rockets they them¬ selves had designed and built after school. The Home Economics Depart¬ ment continued remodeling after last year’s fire and the Home Ec Club helped out by buying an oak dining table and chairs for the liv¬ ing-dining area. Money was raised by selling calendar towels in Octo¬ ber. The highlight of the year was the club ' s annual Spring Tea in May. It gave students in the Home Ec Department a chance to model their sewing projects of the past year and entertain their mothers with refreshments they had made. In December, the club cele¬ brated the holidays with a party. Since the club’s calendar towel sales had been so successful, they plan to continue with it next year but on a larger scale. Their goal is to complete the furnishings of the department’s living area. Bad Weather Stops Launch C Lt. Col. Janet Decker, president of Rocket Club, received an ROTC award at Honors Night. Towel Sales Boost Funds May Queen Lynn Hall and her court were honored during half time at the Lowell Relays.

Apparently some people did not love the “Red Devils —the name, that is. Many letters to the edi¬ tors, surveys, and arguments were raised during the 1981-82 year trying to determine if the Red Devil mascot should be changed. The mascot stayed and did not af¬ fect the athletic performance dur¬ ing the sports year. Even though many goals were not reached, the teams did, how¬ ever, raise student interest in the sports program. The football and basketball seasons drew the larg¬ est crowd to the school. The wres¬ tling team sponsored an all-school convocation, where students could attend a wrestling meet dur¬ ing school time. A majority of the teams ad¬ vanced to sectionals, with some individuals advancing to regional and even state competition. Low¬ ell was represented in basketball, wrestling and tennis. While each team saw new faces and new talent, Lowell athletics welcomed new coaches in varsity, junior varsity and administrative positions. New Lessons New Leader— The 1981 Lowell High football team did not reach their goals this year. They did, however, have a A 2-8 season record is reflected in the faces of sideline players, new head coach, Joe Lorig. The change may have been just what the team needed because this year the team and the coaches learned new things, played with more intensity, and provoked more respect and interest from the student body. Coach Lorig said of the team, “I was pleased with the way they played. I was hoping to go five and five, but there was the way they played with intensity.” The team ended the season with two wins and eight losses. Coach Lorig thought the high¬ lights of the season were the come-from-behind win over Ham¬ mond Gavit, and the win over Lake Station. Coach Lorig concluded, ‘‘We had a good team. We proved it, but we weren’t consistent. Five plays could have won three more games. It was one or two mistakes that made us lose. Right now we’re getting our footing. People respect us more and the interest has improved.” Chris Richards looks for an opening to run a score against Highland. 84 Varsity Football After a first down push, the Lowell offense prepares to score another down against the Trojans.

The Lowell Cross Country team runs straight ahead. Before Coach Thomas came to our school to coach this forgotten team, they had never won a meet. That was three years ago and they have improved their win loss re¬ cord each year since. They fin¬ ished the season with fourteen wins and six losses. Coach Thomas said, “We were happy. We made it to regionals for the second year in a row.” The highlight of the season was the way they ran in regionals. It was very close. The team placed fourth all around and they only missed semi-state by eight points. Coach Thomas said, “We were really happy about the results of the team in the last three years.” The Cross Country team isn’t just for special people. Coach Thomas says, “I encour¬ age anyone who might be interest¬ ed to join. We will take anyone. It ' s a lot of work but they start to en¬ joy it. Our team runs in one of the toughest conferences in the state. There is a lot of competition, and it helps them to improve. To be able to compete they have to run all summer and in track.” What makes this team improve each year? What makes them feel so good about their season? May¬ be Coach Thomas said it all when he said, “We have fun.” Tim Rigg runs a rugged race. 86 Cross Country is her way to the Girls’ Semi-State Cross Country Meet. She placed thirty- Chris Novak shows us the way to run. He ran in the Boys’ State Cross Country Meet and placed seventh. The Lowell Cross Country team started out well and got better.

Tennis Prospers Despite Setbacks “It’s not just a game for any¬ one,” said Mr. Jeff Dhonau, Boy’s Tennis coach. The team learned this quickly as the season began in the middle of August and extended through the first week of October. The twelve man team, including junior varsity players, was composed of four seniors, two juniors, two sopho¬ mores, and four freshmen. They began work before the season with flexibility exercises, distance and sprint running, and agility work as part of a basic training program. “We had a good bunch of guys out there, commented Coach Dhonau as he found the players enthusiastic. “Some of the guys came in early and on Saturdays (to practice),” he added, “We only have a two week practice ses¬ sion.” One factor the team had against it from the start, according to Coach Dhonau, was that Lowell is not a tennis town. He continued by explaining, Other schools have an easier ac¬ cess to an interest in tennis by means of community clubs and more courts to practice on. Be¬ cause of this, members on other teams have a chance to develop greater skills.” Another problem according to Coach Dhonau is that we are a smaller school. Team members play more than one sport. After fourteen matches, played after school, each lasting about two hours or more, Sectionals be¬ gan. The team faced a tense mo¬ ment in Sectionals when Stormy Marshall had to play an extra set to get the team into the semi-fin¬ als. Coach Dhonau personally found his new job as Boys’ Tennis coach enlightening, and said “I learned an awful lot about the game and what it takes to play the game. Karen Grant takes her turn serving during pre-game warm-ups.

VB Second In Conference August 15 started the Girls’ Var¬ sity Volleyball Team’s training. Weight lifting and agility training prepared the players for the next few months of play. Coach Kathy Nelson’s goal for the 1981 season was “to finish in the top two or three of confer¬ ence.” The team accomplished this goal by placing second behind Highland in conference. The most exciting moment in the season was defeating Munster in two games. They are a top-rat¬ ed team in our conference. Strong hitting and the girls be¬ ing able to perform well at all posi¬ tions help explain a season record of 18 wins and seven losses. A weak point for the team was a lack of depth on the bench which forced the girls to learn to play many positions. The season ended in October but Coach Nelson was already thinking about next year. She sees the 1982 team finishing above .500 and “being as competitive and respectable as we were this past season.” Lowell assumes position to return their op¬ ponent ' s serve. During time-outs, Coach Nelson must reorganize game strategy for the next play. Girls’ Varsity Volleyball 91 Best Times Ever Recorded The most rewarding moment for the Girls’ Swimming Team and Coach Bader was seeing all the girls get their best time in section¬ als. This made the 1981 season suc¬ cessful because they reached their goal of getting their best time in events. Coach Bader had a strong team this year. “We have numbers this year and should have most of the girls back next year.” The season began in August. The girls prepared for events by lifting weights, running, and plenty of swimming. While the swimmers reached their team goal, some of the indi¬ vidual members felt they had sat¬ isfied personal goals. Sophomore Vicki Weiand said, I surpassed my goals because I was a sophomore and I had better times then last year. I was more competitive this year.” Although the team is young, Coach Bader can see them im¬ prove on time even more next year. Team members watch times and performance of the competition in preparation for their event. Swimmers assume position for the push-off at the sound of the gun and the start of a new event. 92 Girls’ Swimming Tracy Schuttinga concentrates on speed in the backstroke.

Here, Mike tries to block Calumet ' s play. In his first year of coaching the Red Devils, Coach Leonard guided the team to a victo¬ ry in the Hobart Tourney. The “Come-Back Kids” The team was behind nine points in the fourth quarter. With tremendous effort, the team members pull through, defeating Hobart for the Hobart Holiday Tourney Championship title. Lat¬ er, when the season ended, they triumphed over Hebron, this time by one point, then beat Kouts with a 79-73 victory, earning the title of sectional runners-up. This episode described the Boy’s Varsity Basketball team, which included six seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore. New coach Steve Leonard had three goals in mind for the team throughout the season: to play as hard as possible, improve every game, and win sectionals. On meeting these goals, Coach Leonard said, “They faced adver¬ sity and came back. We didn’t want to be losers. Two out of three (goals achieved) isn’t bad. Coach Leonard commented, “I was pleased with their attitude and competitiveness. I hope they will be a strong foundation to build a strong Red Devil team for the future.” Coach Leonard also stated that fighting the uphill battle and the ability to really not give in kept the team morale high, giving the team the nick-name “the come-back kids.” Chris Richards goes for control of a jumpshot at the Andrean game. Successful rebounding aided Lowell Red Devils in their 72-59 victory over Andrean. Boy ' s Varsity Basketball 95 Karen Mize fends off a Crown Point interception during conference play.

They ended their season with eight wins and 10 losses. Some coaches might be upset by this team record, but as Coach Mitchell expressed, “The team has excellent playing potential.” As far as the team ' s record. Coach Mitchell said, “I felt we could have won more games, but due to the small number of play¬ ers on the team and injuries in¬ curred during the course of the season, we finished quite respect¬ ably.” She attributed the team’s suc¬ cess to teamwork, playing exper¬ ience and determination. The season record is not the best for the team. The numbers do not reflect, however, the indi¬ vidual improvement shown by many of the girls. That’s what counts. A lay-up shot by Kathy Huke gives the Devils two more points against Crown Point. Girls ' Varsity Basketball 97 A Few Working Together From October 12 to February 27, the Lowell Boys’ Swimming Team worked. They swam before and after school, lifted weights and then they swam some more. There were only 13 boys on the team this year. Having such a long season is tough on the athletes. Thoses athletes who are able to stay with the sport throughout the entire season need to work hard and stick together. The season is even more diffi¬ cult when there are so few on the team. With only 13 team mem¬ bers and 10 events, everyone gets to swim in an event, but some peo¬ ple had to work harder and swim in more events than normal. Coach George Bader said, ‘‘For a small team, they worked totally together, everyone doing his job. Working together they became good friends. They all encouraged one another to swim the best race possible. The work paid off when Mike Minion won conference champion in the breast stroke, qualifying him for state and Kreg Schmidt placed fourth in sectionals in the freestyle 50 and 100 yard swim. The team finished the season with seven wins, nine losses and three snow cancellations. This season Mike Minion placed in conference with his performance in the breast stroke event. 98 Most swim team members were forced to compete in more than one event due to the size of the team. Swim team members practiced before and after school in addition to lifting weights for conditioning. 99 School Records Shattered Competition in the vault brings out the best in Coleen Swisher. A lot of teams want to break a school record but the Girls’ Gym¬ nastics Team wants to break ALL records. Out of 12 records already set previously, 10 were broken during this year ' s season. As Coach Hafer said, “They worked pretty hard. It was a long season and the work paid off.” The girls started conditioning for their sport on November 1 and worked until the season’s end on March 18. The intermediate team finished the season with six wins and five losses, as did the optional team. In addition to breaking re¬ cords this season and finishing well overall, this year’s highest scores were earned by both the individual athletes and the team as a whole. The team finished fourth in sectionals with the three teams ahead of them being ranked in the top 20 in the state. Coach Hafer felt dedication played a part in the team’s suc¬ cess. ”1 appreciate their ability to stick with it. It was a long season but a fun season.” Encouraging words help ease the tension of competition for Ingrid Morrow and Kelly Roseberry. 100 Gymnastics Freshman Mindy Steward has broken many school records during the season.

Individuals Earn Titles While the Varsity Wrestlers as a team experienced disappoint¬ ment throughout the season, indi¬ vidual wrestlers earned recogni¬ tion in Sectional, Regional and Semi-State Competition. Lowell finished sixth out of sev¬ en teams in Sectionals at Crown Point. Individual champs were Scott Dulin, Steve Kerr, Paul Mayer and Rod Robison. Paul Mayer emerged as a Regional Champ and a Semi-State qualifier. After pre-season conditioning and practice, the team opened its season against Whiting with a 42- 27 win. A series of disappointing losses ended with the Devils fin¬ ishing fourth out of seven teams in the Lake Suburban Conference.

Varsity Retains Title The Varsity Baseball Team, for the second year in a row, cap¬ tured the Sectional championship with a 5-2 win over Hebron. They again lost their bid for a regional title with a 4-1 loss to Hammond Noll in the opening game. This left them with a season record of 14 wins and 17 losses. According to Coach Berger, Todd Elliott as pitcher was prob¬ ably the best overall player on the team. In the championship game of Sectionals, Elliott struck out 10 Hebron players in a game of 14 innings without an earned run. In Regionals, despite Elliott ' s pitching and assistance from right fielder Ted Hansen, Tom Furman- kiewiez, George Searle and Mike Johnson, the Devils lost out to Noll ' s pitching and fielding. The team represented the con¬ ference well. They came from a 1- 9 record earlier in the season to defeat Crown Point, Lake Central and Hebron for Sectional honors. Coach Bill Berger again brought the varsity to a Sectional championship. 104 Varsity Baseball Todd Elliott ' s pitching record of 8-0 earned him a respected position in conference standings. Rob Dimitt coached first base in anticipa¬ tion of a successful single. Varsity Baseball 105 Speed and Times Improve Improved individual perfor¬ mance dominated the Girls’ Track season. As a team, their overall re¬ cord was not outstanding but many of the runners improved their own times and speeds. Sen¬ iors, Hope Warchus and Penny Weiand, completed their track ca¬ reers with new records. Kathy Huke, a junior, finished her first year with the team. She took many first place honors and also helped improved the team’s overall standing. Coach Naumowich took over this year as head coach of the Girls ' Track Team. He began con¬ ditioning exercises early in the spring. Part of the girls ' training this year included long distance running for endurance. Pacing her speed and breath control e abled Jennifer Zukley to run the mile. 106 Girls’ Track In her first year of Girls’ Track, Kathy Huke earned MVP honors. Hope Warchus gives her all and places second behind Hanover. Girls’ Track 107 School Record Broken Analysis of each match helped focus each golfer ' s concentration on his game. 108 Boys ' Golf Six new players on the Boys’ Golf Team had never played in competition before. Two had nev¬ er played the sport before. Finding transportation to a match was dif¬ ficult. The team record was 3-20 with no conference wins. But still all who came out for the team stayed out, gained ex¬ perience and skill, and, I believe, if their attitude remains good, we will be competitive in our confer¬ ence,” promised Coach Lee Per¬ ry. Despite all the obstacles, Chris Maylath broke the school golf re¬ cord for nine holes with a 33, three under par in a match against Calumet. Practice during the summer coupled with positive attitudes and players familiar with the fun¬ damentals of the game will make Coach Perry’s promise a reality. Driving on the tee was a skill problem this year’s team had. Stressing fundamentals such as weight shift were goals of the team this year. This year the golf teams ' motto did not include the old adage that You drive for show and putt for dough. A good putt begins with good strokes. Season of Mixed Emotions Coach Jeff Dhonau had a diffi¬ cult job this year. He had never coached tennis before this fall, when he took over the Boys’ Ten¬ nis Team but he learned a lot. Spring came and the Girls’ Ten¬ nis team was a different story. The Girls’ Tennis season was very short, busy, and often discourag¬ ing. Even before the season started, the girls began conditioning. They ran to build the muscles in their legs, and also to build endurance so they could last at least one full hour on the court. Besides strong legs, a tennis player needs a strong upper body and strong stomach muscles. For this she lifts weights and does other exercises. The Girls ' Tennis Team started their season on April 15 and fin¬ ished on May 22. In those four weeks, they had 16 dual meets, Conference, and Sectionals. The season ended with a dual meet re¬ cord of one win and 15 losses. The doubles team of Joy Jeanor and Sherry Marshal qualified for Sec¬ tionals. Coach Dhonau recapped the team ' s performance, The whole season has been pretty satisfying. Their sportsmanship has been ex¬ emplary.” In a match against Wheeler, eventually called because of rain, Deb Bakker returns her opponent ' s serve. 110 Girl ' s Tennis The coordination of body movement and eye contact with the ball make tennis a game of skill. Here Karen Grant perfects that skill. The follow-through of Cindy Stavem ' s backhand should ensure the ball hitting its mark. X Pre-season conditioning for endurance and a double-handed backhand swing make Diane Ryder a powerful opponent. Doug Adams takes over the next leg of the relay from his teammate Dave O’Drobinak. Middle Ground for Runners The Boys’ Track Team found its place this season somewhere in the middle—occasionally in first, rarely at the end—usually in the middle. In a triangular meet with North Newton and Hanover, Low¬ ell placed first as they did again with Calumet and Munster. In their opening triangular with Gary Roosevelt and Calumet, however, they set the tone of the season by running second. Their final stand¬ ing in Conference was eighth out of 14. A problem faced by the runners that plagued other spring sports teams was the weather. Several 112 Boys ' Track times meets were cancelled and rescheduled due to poor weather or track conditions. Despite the problems, previous school records were broken by in¬ dividual runners. Dave O’Drobinak and Doug Sharkey’s perfor¬ mances in the season earned them all-conference honors. Chris Tauber, a sophomore, consistent¬ ly took individual honors through¬ out the season to earn him the ti¬ tle of Most Improved. Chris Novak, one of the team’s cap¬ tains, was voted the Most Valuable Player. Running hurdles requires speed a nd con¬ centration in addition to grace to avoid knocking down a hurdle. Lowell improved its performance in the pole vault this year. Boys ' Track 113 Injuries kept quarterback Ted Hansen on the sidelines for some of the season. JV On The Move The Junior Varsity Football team worked hard this year. They started conditioning in January and did not stop working until No¬ vember. Although they finished their season with three wins, five losses, and one tie game, the team did achieve a lot. Coach Jim Goetz said, ‘‘The big¬ gest achievement was having some of the kids that started out on JV break into the varsity lineup and start it.” He continued, The highlight of our season was the tie with Andrean in overtime, 22-22.” Doug Adams led the team in yardage gained, in addition to playing defense. Something To Be Proud Of The freshman class had a lot to be proud of this year, especially the Freshman Football Team. They finished their winning season with six wins and two losses. This team had much more to show for itself than a winning season; out of eight games the defense allowed zero points to be scored, some¬ thing special for a freshman team. This group of men has worked together for a long time. They have the idea of a team ‘concept’: This is probably the best class of freshman athletes to enter this school”, said Coach Naumowich as he sized up the team and it’s winning season. Throughout the freshmen season, Coach Nicolinl often offered advice and encourage¬ ment 114 JV Frosh Football JV Reaches Goals Carla Shipley keeps her eye on the ball and her form perfect to return her opponent ' s serve. The Girls’ JV Volleyball Team began its season in August with three major goals; to master fun¬ damental skills; play consistently and finish with a winning season. According to Coach Joy Hater, “We finished with a 15-7 record which reflected the fact that we were able to learn the fundamen¬ tals and play fairly consistently.” Obviously by the time the girls reached sectionals in October, they had mastered their goals for this season and were setting their sights for next year. For the future, Coach Hafer plans on stressing offensive and defensive skills while looking for a bettering of their current record. Hopefully the championship game of next year’s conference may feature Lowell ' s JV Volleyball Team. Volleyball team members need to work to¬ gether to return the ball successfuly. Coach Joy Heafer took the JV team to a 15-7 season. JV Volleyball 115 Team “Sticks to It” When a six-person team plays a sport that needs five people on the court, there needs to be a lot of dedication. The Girls’ Junior Varsity Basketball team had only six girls on the team this year, but they stuck with it. They finished the season with two wins and twelve losses. The team had a lot against them from the start besides a lack of players. It was Coach Scheldt’s first year of coaching, and the team was inexperienced. But did they give up? NO! Ms. Scheidt said, “The kids that came out stuck with it even when the season wasn’t going so well.” A major goal was to improve their skills. When there are so few girls everyone gets to play more. The more each girl got to play the more her skills were improved. Agility and speed keep Bridget Spaw out of reach of her opponent. Jenna Morrow looks for an opening to pass the ball to one of her teammates. 116 Girls’ JV Volleyball JV Play Strong Season JV team members move in to reclaim the ball in a rebound. The Boys’ Basketball Team’s season record of 13-6 established them as tough competition in their conference. Nine individual team members were able to earn their letters during the season. The season opened with a victo¬ ry over North Newton and then a loss to Portage. The JV Devils re¬ bounded with a seven game win¬ ning streak. The Boys’ Freshman Basketball Team ' s record was affected by snow days which meant cancella¬ tions of games. The result was an 8-9 record for the A team and a 1- 11 record for the B team. Coach John Toland supervised both teams for the first time this year. A call on a play stops action on the court. Boys ' JV Frosh Basketball 117 JV Draws Even Season Larry Miller awaits the decision of his match. The JV Wrestling season com¬ pleted an “even” season of four wins and four losses. Mr. Tom Renn, a former Lowell student and wrestler, joined the coaching staff this year. Under his leadership, the team developed skill and ex¬ perience which can take them to varsity competition. The team was evenly matched with its opponents and scores were usually close. A major win was over Lake Station Edison with a score of 30-12. Fourteen members of the team and manager, Bill Sampson quali¬ fied for JV letters. A successful pin is within Steve Keizer’s reach. In his first year of coaching, Coach Renn often gave support from the sidelines. 118 JV Wrestling Achieving Goals Difficult With a goal of sharpening their skills, the JV Baseball Team opened its season on April 14 against Valparaiso. Reaching the goal was a slow and sometimes disappointing process. By the time the team finished its season with a match against Griffith, they had pulled together a five and ten record for the season. Coach lussig, in his first year as coach, stated, “We had no statis¬ tical goals such as wins—losses but we tried to improve every game and play sound baseball. I ' d have to say we didn ' t meet our goals.” The most exciting moment of the season was seeing some of the group improve as the year went on,” commented Coach lussig. According to lussig, a stressing of team play and a continuation of improvement may mean a more successful season in terms of vic¬ tories. Dave Hine moves to third base with a single from his teammate. JV Baseball 119 Male Squad Added A cheerleader is “someone who can repres ent the school and team in a desirable way. Also nec¬ essary is enthusiasm, spirit, will¬ ingness to work, and constant support. A cheerleader must lead in a representative way,” said Miss Wendy Black, the new cheer¬ leading sponsor. Miss Black made a few changes since becoming sponsor. Tryout procedure was changed; the alter¬ nates had more cheering time and she stressed the idea of one set of cheerleaders instead of three dif¬ ferent groups. This year six male cheerleaders were added to the squad. They helped the girls raise spirit and de¬ velop good feelings with the crowd. Throughout the year, the girls made money from Spirit Week sales of suckers and links, bake sales and derby sales. The girls do many things for the teams besides cheering at games. They organize dinners for them and pep sessions for the school. They also present each senior team member a picture of himself in uniform.

It is not the building or the classes that verify this statement; it is the people. It is not often that so many dif¬ ferent types of people are brought together under the same roof, but LHS gives the student a chance to meet and work with different per¬ sonalities. From freshmen to seniors, ath¬ letes to intellects, students to teachers, and girls to boys, an in¬ dividual at LHS runs into many ideas and is influenced in various ways. Even though the people of Low¬ ell High are different types, they all mix and balance each other out well. For this reason the 1981-82 school year proved that “High school years are the best of your life.” 132 Album LHS Best After receiving her diploma, Anne Gayfield had an expression of both happiness and sadness. ’82—“The End Of An Era” “The End of an Era” read the senior calendar on May 20, the seniors last day of school—and that it was—the end of an era which spanned 12 years, from kin¬ dergarten jitters to common sen- ioritis; reading and writing to com- prehending and composing; recess to free mods, and friend¬ ships to friendships. The class of ' 82 came to the high school in 1978 to complete the final four years of the “era.” They spent their freshman year learning how to get around the building and the upperclassmen. During their sophomore year they earned the title of the “Class with Class.’’ Their junior year was spent planning and producing a memorable Junior-Senior Prom. Finally, their senior year, they spent completing requirements, planning their future, and making memories. Over these four years the class built a certain character and per¬ sonality that made them unique, and like all eras, memorable. KERRY M. ADAMS Powder Puff, 12 CHERYL L. ALLIE TOM H.

Even though the future cannot be predicted, a survey shed some light on the future of the class of 1982. Out of seventy-five seniors sur¬ veyed, fifty-three said they were college bound; fourteen were job bound; and ten answered to “oth¬ er” meaning trade school or work. When asked what they plan to be doing ten years from now, a popular answer was “making a lot of money, but perhaps the most sensible answer came from senior David Gerst, “In ten years I plan on coming to the ten year re¬ union. What else? The class of 1982 will be facing many challenges after graduation.

Senior College English stu¬ dents found themselves faced with the stresses of their term pa¬ per. Even non-college English stu¬ dents were affected by the due date of the paper, for their friends enrolled in College English seemed to be in isolation on Fri¬ day and Saturday nights. The term paper, a College Eng¬ lish assignment, is a long research paper in which the student picks a topic, gathers sources, completes note cards, and composes a 10-12 page, type written paper. While in the process of shuffling papers at 3:00 am, some of the students may not appreciate the writing the paper will be very help- assignment, but the writing skills ful in future college courses, learned during the six weeks of College English students keep busy during their free mods.

Extra Expenses Make Senior Year Memorable What does it take to be a senior in high school? One thing is money. More than any other year, a student’s senior year is full of extra expenses.” Along with the regular expenses of clothes, entertainment, and transportation, a senior has the expense of making his last year memorable. Senior pictures taken by a professional studio usually range in price from $50 to $150. Applications for college bound students usually require a fee of at least $20. To make sure the senior year is remembered properly, a senior may purchase a variety of things such as yearbooks, senior keys, and senior memory books. The Prom, Senior Trip, and Senior Banquet are all forms of entertainment that add up to extra expenses. Of all these things, perhaps graduation is the most costly. Announcements, cards, cap and gown rental and open houses all add up to ensure that the four year high school career is ended properly. How much does all this cost? A rough figure of senior expenses totals $325. ANITA KRUEGER ALLEN K. LeCLAIRE DEBORAH A.

They “arrived” for U.S. History, Algebra II, and unsche¬ duled time. They “arrived” to take SAT’s and to start investigating colleges and scholarships. They “arrived” to sponsor Sadie Haw¬ kins and the Prom. This new position at LHS meant many things for the juniors. There was a new classification only one step away from seniors”. The class enjoyed the status of the ju¬ nior-senior locker bay and the ju¬ nior-senior Powder Puff team. With the title came the privilege of first choice in arena. Academically, the juniors start¬ ed counting credits very carefully. Their earlier choice of college- bound or vocational classes start¬ ed to dominate their class sched¬ ules. The choice of a career or school after graduation became more important. High scores on SAT’s took priority over high scores on the playing field. “Uns¬ cheduled time and “float days were a part of a junior’s vocabu¬ lary. Socially, the class of 1983 was in charge of major school events like Sadie Hawkins and the Prom. Promising thespians, singers and athletes moved into the limelight with still one more year left to share their talents. The class of 1983 had moved up to new joys, problems and respon¬ sibil ities. They had arrived but they weren’t done yet. With their upperclassmen title juniors watch a basketball game from on high.

Plans for the event needed an important ingre¬ dient—money. To get this ingredi¬ ent, the juniors started with a pledge car wash at the American Legion Hall. Even though the day of the car wash was cold and rainy, volunteers washed 125 cars and made $450. The sponsoring of the Powder Puff game during Homecoming Week brought in another $600. Bake sales and a tootsie roll sale netted another $150. The biggest and last money¬ maker was the Sadie Hawkins Dance which brought in $660 profit for the class. The old saying, “Everything costs money, applied to the 1982 Prom but this did not stand in the way of the juniors.

The Junior Cheerleading” Squad couldn ' t help pull out a victory for their team during Homecoming Week kept Melissa Burgess and Debbie Reeder busy making decorations for Powder Puff. their assigned area. Juniors 177 Sophomores Keep Busy Having bake sales and dances, organizing floats for parades, decorating storefront windows and the high school commons, winning the Spirit Stick, helping organize a “Ring-a-Thon” for a sick classmate—the class of 1984 sure keeps busy. President of the class was Mike Minion, with Tammy Elliott, vice-president; An¬ gie Legacy, secretary; and Sue Wagner, treasurer. This fall, the sophomore class got the school ' s attention by win¬ ning the Spirit Stick. Mike Minion explained, “The class council helped organize the flobt, the window, and the com¬ mons decorations, but the sopho¬ more class itself won the stick. In addition to having school spir¬ it, the sophomore class is in the process of making money to fi¬ nance their junior prom. So far, they have had a dance and bake sales. The class did not just do things for themselves this year. When one of their classmates, Travis Tucker, was very sick, some mem¬ bers of the class organized a “Ring-a-Thon to buy Travis a ring. More money-making projects are being planned by the sopho¬ more class since they want their prom to be the best. They want to leave their mark on Lowell High School when they graduate in 1984. They’re off to a good start! A big event in the life of a Lowell sophomore is choosing a class ring so Shelley Brewer is particular about the fit of hers. Jill Schlueter and Eric Macom, a popular couple, know how to have fun at a school dance. 178 Sophomores Katrina Addison Barbara Anderson Cindy Anderson Joe Anglis Pete Artim Rich Bafia Howard Baggett Ben Baker Lori Baker Deb Bakker Melodie Bales Terry Ballard Jeri Ballou Eric Barnhill Darrell Beasley Kevin Beckrich Cindy Blank Kara Borromeo Tracey Boyles Tim Bozak Don Brawley Dorothy Brewer Shelly Brewer Royce Brown Tom Brown Anne Bruce Lisa Brunner Lindsey Bryant Gloria Burns Janet Burns Darin Burrell Dan Butler Lori Cain Gary Call Mike Campbell Bill Carlson Wendy Carlson Kathy Chapman Beth Cole Eva Compton Bill Conley Allen Corning Gary Corning Tom Cotner Tim Cox Bill Crawford Jeff Cromer Troy Cross Brian Czerwinski Renee Delapaz Beth DeRosa Denise DeVine Dave DeWitt Glen Dulin Sophomores 179 Jim Dunn Pam Durham Ed Dziadon Tammy Elliot John Erb Patti Erb Dawn Ericson Bryan Everett Brenda Ewert Becky Feehan Robin Fetsch Christy Fiene Andy Finn Kathy Fitch Sue Fletcher Sara Frahm Dan Francis Tom Fritsch Nick Gasparovic Cathy Gerst Dave Giedemann Sue Gies Bob Gleason Robin Govert Sandy Gray Sue Green Dave Greer Donna Gunning Denise Guttillo Donna Guttillo Julie Hall Cheryl Hamann Dave Hamm Mark Hardwick Sherrie Havens Bob Hayden Darin Heater Bob Hegyi Tim Henke Wendy Herr Judy Hickman Cheryl Hicks Bob Hill Mike Hine Eric Hoehn Gwen Holt John Hudgens Sandra Hudgens Rich Hurst Glenn Hutchison Rick Hutler Kris lliff Roger Jackson Nathan James 180 Sophomores Joy Jeanor Keely Johnson Mark Johnson Wade Johnson Bob Jones Val Jones Dave Juda Beth Kaiser Sam Katsimpalis Steve Keizer Kurt Kersey Terri Kirgan Laura Koppen Sue Kordeiewski Monty Korte Lisa Krupa Teri LaFaive Angie Lagacy Don Lambert Gail Landis Chris Laszlo Jennifer Lee Chris Lemp Lisa Little Tom Loitz Diana Loitz Jeff Love Dan Lucas Jean Lucas Dawn Luchene Ken Ribicki and Terri Kirgan discuss the day ' s classwork Sophomores 181 A Gift of Something Special When Travis Tucker, a sopho¬ more, was struck by spinal menin¬ gitis, everyone in the class was up¬ set and worried and wanted to help him through his bad time. “We all wanted to send Travis something special, something that he would always remember, said classmate, Anne Bruce. The idea was originally con¬ ceived by another of Travis ' class¬ mate, Bill Carlson. Anne put the idea into action by collecting mon¬ ey for the ring. As he remembered his class¬ mates’ kindness, Travis said, “I treasure my class ring and will never forget the generosity of my friends during my illness.” Sharon Luke Alan Luttrell Brenda McCullough Rick McIntyre Karen McKee John McKinney Kate McLellan Eric Macom Randy Mager Mike Manes Kevin Manning Dave Mares Jim Marino Mike Martin Jim Mautz Becky Medrano Doug Merkel Ron Michallick Dave Midkiff Debbie Mikolajczak Larry Miller Mike Miller Clint Mills Mike Minion Tracey Mink Robin Miracle Laurie Morris Tim Morrow Renee Mortimer Karleen Mussman 182 Sophomore Shelly Myers Ginger Nieghbor Seth Nichols Fred Nowaczyk Cindy Oberc Lance Osburn Marie Padley Kelly Palmer Tina Paquette Michelle Patchin Scott Patchett Nora Patillo Denise Patz Cindy Pilsitz Bryan Pinkerton Greg Pratt Julie Raby Teresa Redman Tina Redmon Ron Reel Renee Rench Gwen Reusze Will Rex Ken Ribicki Laura Ringas Jeannie Rogers John Rogers Kelly Roseberry Mike Ross Sue Santisteven Chreyl Santy Jill Schlueter Earl Schrader Tracy Schuttinga Mark Sharkey Mike Shell Diane Sherman Rick Shyrock Sue Shuttz Dave Singleton Bill Sinks Cindy Skorka Carl Sneed Brian Solic Robin Spaw Lenore Spencer Kevin Spitler Jim Stack Gary Stanley Melody Stanley Bernie Starr Joe Stegler Sophomore 183 Ken Stemme Deb Stephens Todd Steward Brent Stewart Cathy Stingley Tom Stoner Jan Stull Sharon Stuppy Scott Sturtridge Mia Summit Michelle Sutton Jodi Svoboda Cordell Sylvie Steve Symons Chris Tauber Diana Terrana Ken Tisdale Lori Tokarz Kim Trueblood Travis Tucker Brian Vallee Jodi Vandenberg Diana Vandenburgh Anna Vuletich Sue Wagner Mark Wakefield Bill Walker Allen Warren Polly Watkins Dan Weaver Kelly Wedding Vicki Weiand Cindy Wells Marga ret Wheeler Terry White Rick Williams Roxanne Williams Alan Wilson Scott Wilson Dianne Wleklinski Dana Worley Vicki Yancey Julie Zarych Jennifer Zukley 184 Sophomores A sock hop gives Laura Koppen and Jeannie Rogers a chance to enjoy being sophomores.

Each individual freshman has his own problems to work out during that long freshmen year, such as class schedules, making friends, learn¬ ing new things and finding his way around the school. With all of these new tasks thrust upon each freshman, the class is often un¬ able to work together as a whole. The class officers did make an at¬ tempt to bring everyone together for a few money-making projects. Under the direction of Rolf Alexis, president; John Crane, vice-presi¬ dent; Carla Shipley, secretary; and Tammy Carroll, treasurer, the class of 1985 had a bake sale and a raffle. What lies ahead for freshman Sheila Zuk- ley? Freshmen do get involved in school activities like everyone else. A freshman ' s first day of high school is a new day with new challenges. 186 Freshmen Lisa Abraham Steve Adams Dee Alexander Rolf Alexis Erling Alfredson Karen Andrade Bill Angelidis Kyle Antcliff Elizabeth Aquino Rinda Asher Richard Babbs Wayne Backe Rob Bailey Paul Bakker Lisa Barker Phil Barnhill Jeff Beier Lori Beier Todd Berner Jenni Bielefeld Melissa Blandford Carolyn Blank George Blissett David Bodnar Robert Bowden Mark Broe Vickie Bruner Dana Buchanan Kim Bunce Leonard Burge Sue Burns Tammy Bushman Paula Busselberg Dave Butler Tom Cammack Matt Carlberg Troy Carlson Gary Carpenter Lee Carroll Tammy Carroll Jack Childress Dave Childress Tim Colvin Bob Conrad Kelly Cook Lisa Corning Carol Cotner Bryan Cowsert Petra Cox Brian Crabbe Mary Jo Cramer John Crane Jeff Cripe Ray Curry Freshmen 187 Carine Czerwinski Ryan Dahl Sue Daley Colleen Dawson Ed Deer Sunday Detamore Jeff Dewes Sheri Deyarmin Don Donahue Joe Donaldson John Dougherty Dana Drew Dave Dyrhaug Ken Eakins Sheri Edmondson Charles Elch Gina Eich Mary Lou Eichenberger Deanna Ericson Dawn Everett Dan Feddeler Jim Feddeler Kim Felder Ted Fetsch Greg Fields Wendy Fields John Fiene Sheila Finn Cliff Fleener Gary Florence Louis Frigo Dale Gasparini Rex Gasparini Wayne Gerst Julis Gidley Don Giedemann Dave Gottschalk Joe Gottschalk Bob Gross Paula Grothaus Cindy Gullett Dawn Guttillo Mike Hammersley Robby Hardesty Terry Harmston Bob Harris Kevin Haskins Jerri Hatch Todd Hayden Trudy Hayden Billy Heath Dave Heath Barbara Hegyi Robin Henderlong 188 Freshmen Tina Herr Mike Highsmith Bob Hobson Melody Hobson Joe Holt Jim Holzhauer Kim House Larry Hyatte Becky James Melissa Jared Mike Jones Kay Juriss Anthony Jusevitch Shane Kala Kathleen Kelley Carol Kender Dale Kennedy Kris Kessler Sharon Kohanyi Kevin Kokos Walter Kubida Carey Lawyer Chistine LeClaire Jackie Lee Marilyn Lotz Tom Luken Kathy Mansfield Ed Martin Leahdon Martin Roger Marvel Lori Mates Kelly Mathias Brian Mayden Steve Mayer Mike McCammon Kevin McCarthy Freshmen girls listen to Dean Wornhoff on their first day of school.

Freshmen learn that a good student means a sound mind and body. Freshmen Arrive at LHS Mr. Johnson introduced the freshmen to extra-curricular activities available to them. Freshman year is a year of new beginnings. With every beginning comes an introduction. The ad¬ ministration introduced the fresh¬ men to high school life with Fresh- men Orientation Day. The freshmen came to school the day before the rest of the students of Lowell High to be told the rules, regulations, and expectations. When that was over the new stu¬ dents had something more to look forward to. Jenna Morrow said, “It’s called wear tennis shoes and run fast.” She was talking about initiation. Most freshmen fear it, and some were forced to participate. Some of the antics included penny push¬ ing, and being taped to walls and poles. Because of the watchful eyes of our administration and faculty, no one was hurt, and the initiations” were all in fun. Freshmen 193 Students Interact Open House, Homecoming win¬ dows, athletic events, band and choir concerts, theatre perfor¬ mances and blood drives were just a few examples of how Lowell stu¬ dents interacted with the commu¬ nity through school events. But jobs and just ‘‘hanging out” were ways the LHS students had direct contact with their town. Despite a decline in job opportu¬ nities, many Lowell students man¬ aged to find jobs. Wilco Foods and Dairy Queen employed many stu¬ dents. Lowell students also utilized various parts of the community for recreation. Evergreen Park was a popular place to play bas¬ ketball or go ice skating. Students often visited Galexy of Games to play Pac-Man during after-school hours. Lowell became well-known through the radio and television. WZVN kept students and parents informed of fog delays and snow days. Channel two featured Wilco when the store distributed free samples of groceries to its cus¬ tomers. Either inside or outside of school. Lowell students interact¬ ed with their community this year.
