WE WON! WE WON! WE WON! October 1, Homecoming, was special for Lowell High School ath¬ letes, students and alumni who witnessed the first Homecoming win in nine years for Lowell. The 29-0 victory over Calumet was presided over by Homecoming Queen Colleen Swisher and cele¬ brated that night at the Home¬ coming Dance. In game action, Calumet didn’t stand a chance against perfor¬ mances by Ted Hansen and Steve Kerr. Spirit ran high among team members. That, matched with the Wishbone strategy, and Calumet was a loser from the first kick-off. The Homecoming win also marked the first time in 15 years that Lowell had won three games in a row. Half-time activities included a band performance along with the presentation of the Homecoming Court and Queen, Colleen Swish¬ er. Rod Robison, her escort, was also presented as Homecoming King. Sponsored by Student Council, the Homecoming Dance after the game spotlighted the Queen and her court. It turned out to be a well-deserved victory celebration for the Red Devils. Calumet couldn’t stop the Red Devil spirit and went down to defeat without ever scoring. Coach Lorig’s Wishbone strategy held for Homecoming, marking three wins in a row for Lowell. 14 Homecoming Besides leading the cheers at the game, the cheerleaders organized the Spirit Week competition for the Spirit Stick award.
