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
