ON TARGET—asbestos abate¬ ment, North Central, curriculum changes, new social events—these were all events in the past year which were aimed for and hit—dead center! All year long, the phrase “On tar¬ get!” echoed in our ears as we set and reached goals ranging from academic honors with National Merit scholars to the freshmen entering a winning Homecoming float. Sometimes it was hard to meet smaller daily deadlines, but we were trying to stay “on target” right from the beginning. Before school began, the first tar¬ get date for asbestos removal in parts of the building had to be met. And it was, with time to spare. Furniture and equipment were back in place for the first day of school. A new school year brought new courses like Current Affairs and pre¬ algebra along with new daily student schedules without float days. Changes in the curriculum were in keeping with new state guidelines and we were ahead of schedule here in meeting requirements for credits and the number of hours per day a student spends in class. On Target!—most of the time! - Freshmen try to help each other out reading A target date of November 14 for the North Central evaluation meant meeting deadlines all year for evalua¬ tion reports. “On target” were club and class activities which had been pre-ar¬ ranged on the school calendar. There was even room for a date for a new activity, the Sweetheart Dance. Not all activities, however, hit their marks. The football team fell far short of its target and its season was a disappointing one. While most sports teams sent at least one player on to regional or state competition, no championship honors came to Lowell this year. The weather, as usual, played hav¬ oc with target dates with snow days and fog delays. Adult education, the end of a six-week grading period and basketball sectionals had to be res¬ cheduled because of a winter bliz¬ zard. We set targets and goals to aim for this year in academics, sports and ac¬ tivities. Our percentage of “hits” was well above average considering all the problems and challenges that arise in a school year. We can look back with pride on our accomplishments be¬ cause . . .

Drawing students pay close attention to targets if they want precision in their work. Some targets were easier to see and aim for than others.

Photo cour¬ tesy of UPI Fresh ideas enliven calendar Many familiar events were on the calendar, but they were sparked with some new ideas and some surprising reactions. A colorful cartoon theme dominat¬ ed all Homecoming activities. The popular Sweetheart Dance was re¬ vived. For the first time in many years, Prom was held outside of school. Two very different theatre productions brought mixed reactions from audiences. Student Council again became a leader in sponsoring activities by hosting a convocation, a spring carnival and a district conven¬ tion. Dates for events were firmly set, but how successful each activity would be or what memories would be recorded could never be predicted “on target”. The freshman-sophomore Powder Puff team rides in “style” in the Homecoming Parade. Students begin the first day of school looking forward to new activities and memories. With new events this year, students weren’t disap¬ pointed. Student Life ► Becky Medrano, like the other 23 candidates, was judged on poise as she faced the audience for the first time. Each of the contestants had her chance in the limelight as she was individually introduced at the beginning of the program and had the chance to model her gown. 10 Junior Miss Miss Patricia McAllister coordinated the Youth Fitness protion of the program. The winner in this area was Jeanette Rogers. Lindsey Bryant reigns as 1984 Junior Miss Lindsey Bryant was chosen as Lowell’s Junior Miss for 1984. She was attended by Cindy Blank, first runner-up, and Donna Gunning, sec¬ ond runner-up. Twenty-four contestants competed in the pageant sponsored by the Southlake Business and Professional Women’s Club. The girls were judged on the basis of scholastic ability, physical fitness, talent and poise. Winners in the individual categor¬ ies were: Jeanette Rogers, Youth Fit¬ ness; Cindy Anderson, Poise and Ap¬ pearance; Tracey Boyles, Best Creative Talent; Cindy Blank, Scho¬ lastic Award; and Donna Gunning, Spirit of Junior Miss Award and Best Performing Talent. Lindsey, who went on to represent Lowell at the state pageant in Frank¬ fort, found the competition to be chal¬ lenging, but rewarding, too. “The night of the performance didn’t feel like a competition. Every¬ one helped everyone else and it gave everyone a chance to be closer,” Lind¬ sey said. In addition to winning the title of Junior Miss, Lindsey was also chosen as the Judge’s Conference Award winner. Junior Miss 11 Sophomores begin work on their entry in the float decorating contest. Each entry had to be based on a cartoon character. Junior Dave Schutz and senior Kelly Roseberry try to eat enough cup¬ cakes to put their class in first place in the cake eating contest. The senior class eventually won. Senior spirit wins Homecoming was planned with a cartoon theme and began with the annual Spirit Week activities. The senior class dominated by winning not only the spirit stick but also taking first prize in the cake-eating contest at the pep session. Senior Royce Brown was also voted the “Senior with the Sexiest Legs.” The Industrial Education float, decorated with Fred Flintstone characters, won first place in the club category in float competition. The freshman class won the class division with their float theme of Heathcliff. The most creative window was painted by Theatre Arts members at the Toggery. Mickey Mouse was their cartoon theme. Continuing their drive for spirit, the j unior-senior team won Powder Puff with a score of 28-0. Senior Larry Miller was crowned Homecoming King at the game. By the end of the week, senior spirit was high, but the overall mood was not optimistic as we became ready to meet Crown Point. Tweety Bird was just one of the cartoon characters used for decorations for the Homecoming Dance. 12 Homecoming Homecoming 13 Student Council members lead the Homecoming Parade dressed as characters from the WIZARD OF OZ. The freshman-sophomore team didn’t stand a chance against the power of the junior-senior team in Powder Puff. The juniors hope to get the message across to Crown Point in their hall decorations for Spirit Week. BITE BULLDOGS BULLET Trent Depel chats with the Cowardly Lion, a part of the Homecoming theme. The Red Devils run to score their first and only touchdown. Homecoming night has problems Although an overwhelming Home¬ coming victory was unlikely, the Red Devils played hard against their rival, Crown Point. Unfortunately, they lost 28-6. The Homecoming Dance had its problems, too. It had a theme, “Car¬ toons on Parade”, but for a while, it looked like it would be a dance with¬ out a band. Fast thinking by Student Council members avoided disaster. They supplied a stereo system and re¬ cruited Jeff Kormendy to play re¬ cords. Half-time activities were more fes¬ tive. Senior athletes and their parents were honored. Senior Renee Delapaz was crowned Homecoming Queen, and her court, composed of represen¬ tatives from each class, was present¬ ed. Fan support was not its strongest since few expected a win against a tough Crown Point team. 14 Homecoming The Red Devil mascot tries to scare away a Crown Point invasion.

Homecoming 15 Daring to be different, Lindsey Bryant finds it hard to break out of the confinement of routine. “I didn ' t expect anything like this! This year’s fall play, GLIMPSES, made its Chicago- land debut here. The play was written by 13 teenagers and it reflected their views on life. Director, Mrs. Debra Ciochina, commented, “This was a more difficult play to do because every scene was realis¬ tic and they (actors) played characters very much like themselves or their friends.” Many in the audience left the theatre a bit surprised by this production. “I didn’t expect anything like this. I came to the theatre to be entertained,” commented one student. Others in the audience felt the scenes hit too close to home by portraying problems they themselves were hav¬ ing. Regardless of individual opinions, everyone who saw the play agreed that this theatre production made every¬ one think. Rick Swart reminisces about childhood treehouses in his scene from GLIMPSES. In a sketch on the good life from GLIMPSES, cast members toast wealth and fame. 16 Glimpses Karen Andrade’s sketch dealt with the topic of abortion in one of the more serious “glimpses” of real life.

Sophs set winter scene this time Murals depicting winterland scenes and, of course, mis¬ tletoe, set the stage for the traditional Christmas Dance. The sophomore class hosted the dance for the first time and they recruited the talents of the Blue Line Combo, mostly a brass band, to provide the music. Shelly Paquette, who helped organize the dance, said, “People told us that they really liked the dance although they mentioned that the music the band was playing seemed out of style for the times.” The only thing missing from this “Winter Wonderland” was Santa Claus. Becky Feehan samples some of the refreshments served by the sopho¬ more class. Kathy Wagner and her date take a moment out from the dancing for refreshments.

Go for the gold! Yugoslavia hosted the Winter Olympics; Los Angeles hosted the Summer Games but in-between, Lowell hosted the first annual Spring Games. “The whole event,” said Mrs. Hurt, Student Council sponsor, “was put together in less than two months, yet was still a success.” Patterned after the Olympics, classes competed in events like the tricycle race and tug-of-war. The seniors narrowly beat out the juniors to earn their “gold medal” victory. Meanwhile, 15 clubs manned booths provided by Fun Services of Merrillville to raise money. Games of chance and a cotton candy stand helped set a carnival atmo¬ sphere. Coinciding with the Games was the running of the Dev¬ ils’ Five cross country race and the crowning of the 1984 May Queen, senior Sue Green. Spring Games 21 Jeff Kormendy provides music and sweet talk for the couples at the Sweetheart Dance. Chuck Bakker and Terri Scheeringa share a romantic moment. Two sweethearts and a red rose are good advertisement for a Sweetheart Dance. Seniors revive tradition A Sweetheart Dance used to be a regular event, but had been discontinued. The seniors brought back the tradition this year. Cindy Blank, senior class president, was in charge of renewing interest in the dance and planning the event. Nothing seemed to change from the past years, for she commented that the dance, while slow in getting started, was a success. The main problem behind organizing the romantic event was, as usual, recruiting people to help with decorating. Sue Wagner and Dwayne Hernandez “carve” their initials on the mural. 22 Sweetheart Dance Sweetheart Dance 23 Sadie gets her man in spring According to legend, every fourth year on February 29, single hillbilly girls, called “Sadie Hawks”, were allowed to chase after the single boys of their dreams. If caught by a “Sadie Hawk”, the boy had to marry her. Lowell “Sadie Hawks” had the chance on March 23 to invite the boys of their dreams to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. By tradition, the highlight of the evening was “getting hitched” by acting “Justices of the Peace”, Mr. Chuck Naumowich and Mr. Steve Adams. Photographs were taken by Spasoff Studios and entertainment was provided by “White Lightning.” The juniors make use of the dance profits for the Junior-Senior Prom. Kim Trueblood and Joe Stoller are posed by a representative of Spasoff Studios for their picture to remember the evening. Juniors Regina Searle and Lisa Abraham serve refreshments of lemon¬ ade and popcorn to a thirsty “Sadie Hawk” and her date. Becky Feehan’s fella puts the ring on her finger after being “hitched” by “Preacher” Adams. Country and Western band, “White Lightning,” provided music of all kinds for those interested in dancing. Couples at the Sadie Hawkins Dance move to the music of “White Lightning.” Pippin, played by Ben Ruley, seeks advice on life from his grandmother played by Pat Payne. The chorus invites the audience to join them for an evening of magic. The blend of colors in costumes and lights added to the mystical mood. “Pipkin” Lindsey Bryant helps rid the battlefield of the clutter of hands and feet. Donna Gunning, as Pippin’s step-mother, Fastrada, tries to convince her husband she is just a simple housewife. Pippin (Ben Ruley), his father Charlemagne (Bernie Starr), and his brother Louis (Ron Pleasant) kneel in prayer before going into battle. Kirk Redman as the Leading Player dazzles the audience with his magic trick. Details make magic happen “I chose PIPPIN because it is a youth-oriented show. It’s also very contemporary and visually exciting,” said Mrs. Debra Ciochina, director of the spring musical. Part of the visual excitement was due to the detailed co¬ ordination of colors in costumes and lighting. “The difficulty was in matching the direction and theme to the costumes of the period. The play called for earthy tones of purple, mauve and green,” said Mr. Tom Sufana, costume designer. “The cast was composed of ultra-talented people who could sing, dance and act,” said Mrs. Ciochina. “There was more difficult music and choreography than ever be¬ fore.” To highlight the talent of the performers, Mr. Steve DeVillez, media specialist, used new mikes, speakers, sound equipment and lighting techniques to help produce one of the most well co-ordinated theatrical efforts Lowell audiences have ever experienced. Tammy Elliott and Mike Hine are lost in the magic of “Moonlight and Roses . Tables of Prom couples use a break in dancing to socialize with friends. Kim Felder, junior class president, introduces “Devotion”, the entertain¬ ment for the evening. Prom breaks with custom It seemed to be a typical Prom night. Beautiful young ladies were dressed in pastel visions of lace and ruffles. Gentlemen were on their best behavior wearing tuxedos and top hats. Flowers in every color decorated tables and ladies ' arms. But for the juniors and seniors this year, the Prom was more than a few dances around the Multi- Purpose Room floor. Prom was a special affair since it was hosted by the juniors away from school at the Raging Bull in Merrillville. All year long, the junior class officers campaigned to move the Prom’s location. Meanwhile, they organized sev¬ eral fund raisers to make sure they could finance the rental fee and catering cost involved. A successful candle sale put them in good shape to easily handle their Prom budget. “This was the first year that our class had a very suc¬ cessful fund-raiser. We sold candles and raised close to $800 for our Prom fund,” said Susan Sykes, junior class vice-president. Since the Raging Bull was a new restaurant, decora- Prom 29 Green, Laszlo reign at Prom tions were kept to a minimum. The theme, “Moonlight and Roses” was carried out in table decorations and sou¬ venir booklets. Catering was done by the restaurant under the supervision of Prom co-ordinator, Mr. Tom Sufana. Music was provided by “Devotion” and Spasoff Studios was on hand for pictures. An always special feature of the Prom is the crowning of the Prom Queen and King determined by votes cast by Prom couples that evening. Crowned King and Queen were Sue Green and her escort, Chris Laszlo. There was no doubt the evening was a success and a new tradition had been established. No longer would junior classes have to worry about how to keep their streamers strung across the Multi-Purpose Room ceiling! Sophomores Kathy Wagner and Angi Williamson serve punch in their duties as hostesses. A quiet corner gives Ken DuBord and Margaret Wheeler a chance to share private thoughts on a special night. 30 Prom National Merit Scholars are Mike Minion, Jim Dunn and Ken Stemme Seniors earn last honors On Honors Night, teachers, administrators, parents and friends recognized achievements of the seniors. Awards were presented to students for their successes in academics, sports and the arts. Also announced were the members of the graduating class’ Honors Section and winners of scholarships and grants from various colleges and universities. Mrs. Debra Ciochina congratulates Donna Gunning for being chosen Most Talented Actress by the Theatre Department.

Four years ago, nervous freshmen walked these round halls for the first time with a target date in mind—gradu¬ ation. Four years later, nervous seniors walked these same halls to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” with a new target—the future. Joint Baccalaureate-Commencement exercises were held on May 27. Chosen to present their senior speeches were Lindsey Bryant, Renee Mortimer and Jodi Vanden- berg. Baccalaureate speaker was Reverend W. Lynn Hen¬ ry of First United Methodist Church. Giving the invoca¬ tion and benediction was Reverend Edgar A. Smith of the Lowell Church of Christ. This first target date was taken care of with the help of parents and teachers. The new target—the future—now rests solely with the Class of 1984. Renee Mortimer compares high school to the opening night of a play as she addresses the graduation audience. Jodie Vandenberg speaks of the castles in the air that she had created throughout her high school career. Graduation 35 Wins come to individuals Every athletic team worked for goals it had set for the year, but the success rate usually wasn’t apparent in season records. While volleyball, track and baseball scored team hon¬ ors, the trend was toward more indi¬ vidual victories rather than wins by teams. Larry Miller and John Crane took their wrestling skills to State; Kara Borromeo was the first from Lowell to compete in tennis Regionals; and freshman Sherrie Lambert earned the right to compete at the track Re¬ gionals. Setting goals and working toward them is what being “on target” is all about. Our athletes proved this for themselves. Trainer Missy Richards applies ice to Rob Harris ' ankle which he injured during a practice session. The starting gun sets Lowell and its opponent in competition. 36 Sports Combating apathy becomes top priority for cheerleaders “The pep sessions were the most disappointing to us because of the lack of school spirit and student in¬ volvement,” said Varsity Cheerleader Carrie Szczerbik. In order to make them more inter¬ esting, the girls performed humorous skits and provided class competition. Still this did not seem to be enough. “Spirit is hard to produce when so much apathy exists. The cheerleaders are blamed for this lack of spirit,” commented Mrs. Patz, sponsor. For the community, the girls orga¬ nized a summer garage sale and a fall cheerleading clinic for elementary school girls. JV CHEERLEADERS—ROW 1: Lori Hor- neij.

Al¬ though technically recorded to have had a losing season, the Varsity Red Devils used game time to bring exper¬ ience to their team. What made this football season impressive was the way some team members never ac¬ cepted defeat, never stopped trying. The Junior Varsity Team finished their season with 5-4 record. “Most of the boys wanted to play and enjoyed it. Winning was some¬ thing new for the sophomores and they took their losses in stride,” said Chuck Naumowich, junior varsity coach. Meanwhile, the freshman team proved to be ready for bigger and bet¬ ter teams as they ended with a 6-3 season. Freshman Coach Tom Renn com¬ mented, “The boys wanted to win and had the will to do it which carried over into their game performances.” There were changes in the coach¬ ing staff. Coach Jim Keichle, science teacher at Lake Central High School, took charge of varsity defense and of¬ fensive line. Also, his experience as a certified athletic trainer proved valu¬ able in a season of many injuries.

They re¬ ceived certificates from Community Hospital in Indianapolis after attend¬ ing sports medicine instruction at In¬ diana Central University. Missy and Jenni continued as trainers for all sports for the rest of the year. Coach Keith Board joined Coach Pete Iussig as head of the freshman team. New to our school as a metals instructor, Coach Board was pleased with his first year. “I was very impressed with paren¬ tal support as well as the amount of fans. Lowell often had more fans at away games than the home team did.” While the players were the focus of the season, Varsity Coach Joe Lorig, gave recognition to the managers who sometimes devoted as much time to the football season as the team mem¬ bers themselves. Their job was to pro¬ vide the “extras” like washing prac¬ tice jerseys and baking cookies and cupcakes for the team. While the season records may not show it, the dedication of those in¬ volved in football was “on target”.

They can also count a spectacular tourney win among their accomplishments. Coach Kathy Nelson said, “I was extremely pleased with the team’s performance this year, especially about winning tourney.” The Junior Varsity Team also had a good year with a record of 13-9, but Coach Joy Hafer had mixed feelings about the season. “1 was generally pleased with their performance, but I had hoped we would win 16 games and get to the championships,” said Coach Hafer.

Coach Steve DeVillez emphasized that the girls played hard in every game and they didn’t give up, no matter how far behind they were. The team managed to salva ge a final win against Boone Grove to finish with a 1-7 record. final win “Next year I’m going to get rough on the girls and spend more time in bumping and offense,” said DeVillez. While all three teams experienced different seasons, they did share a common “winning” highlight.

His encouragement gave the members the incentive to work harder to be the best. Besides developing stamina and friendship. Cross Country is striving to be an equal opportunity sport. “I think we should try and get more girls to go out for the team. Seeing some of the girls from other teams and knowing what some of our girls can do, I think they (our girls) can do pretty well and be competitive,” com¬ mented Darrell Hotler.

The team finished with a 4-11 re¬ cord. Most of the goals set this year were personal ones and encourage¬ ment from the team, coaches and the spectators made them easier to reach. “The cheering from everyone real¬ ly helped us get into the meet and do our best.” said Sue Wagner. The Boys’ Swim Team had a better record of 7-11 but not as great a sea¬ son. Team members felt that more togetherness and dedication would have helped. “But,” said Chuck Vandenberg, “by the end of the season, we were working hard and together.” GIRLS’ SWIMMING—ROW 1: Janet Austgen, Rachel Rineheart, Becky Antcliff, Jodi Van¬ denberg, Lindsey Bryant, Vicki Weiand ROW 2: Kelly Carlson, Keely Johnson, Kathy Robinson, Kim Trueblood, Mendy Steward, Paula Vuksinic, Kathy Wagner, Sandy Ripley, Cindy Anderson ROW 3: Susie Manes, Lori Cain, Angie Laumeyer, Angi Williamson, Becky James, Sherrie Lambert, April Fitch, Tracey Boyles, Kathy Fitch, Melinda Burchell, Sue Wagner 50 Swimming tional, Lowell girls teams in diving.

Determination erases season’s disappointments Although the records were not ex¬ ceptional, the boys’ basketball teams never gave up their determination to win. Varsity Coach Steve Leonard said, “This has been a fine group of young men who were unselfish and worked together and really enjoyed playing basketball.” Improvements and last-minute comebacks were common highlights of all three teams. “I was pleased that we were able to make a comeback and defeat An- drean; the boys never gave up,” said Junior Varsity Coach Bruce Farley.

I feel this cost us a few games.” Farley said. “They need to polish their skills during the off-season and learn how to be more aggressive,” noted Adams. Coach Leonard, however, saw few weaknesses among the Varsity. “I was pleased at how we molded together toward the end of the season, gearing for the sectionals. We have lost this year, but we will be back next year!” promised Leonard.

No one was ever satisfied with her improve¬ ment and strived to better herself each day.” Although they lost to Crown Point, the Varsity played their best game and aroused real school support. The JV played their best game against Hobart and Kankakee Valley where their excellent defensive and offen¬ sive skills were apparent. 56 Girls’ Basketball GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL OPPONENT Kouts Griffith Rensselaer Highland Calumet Lake Central River Forest Whiting Hebron Hanover Kankakee Valley Munster Hobart Crown Point Andrean North Newton The referee ducks as Hebron and Lowell go up for a jump ball at the start of the game.

The success of this year’s team was due to many factors. The team condi¬ tioned before and during the season. Fan, team and coach support aided the wrestlers to victory and tourney titles.

However, she credits team attitude for the continual im¬ provement through the season. “I work as a motivator, encourager ... to help them (the team) bring out the best in themselves. I work to ex¬ pose them to new things and to train them in a way which they are striving for their best,” said Coach Weiand. It was also the girls’ dedication and attitude which decided who would be on the team.

Earlier in the season, the team had lost to Crown Point 8-7 and 8-4 to Lake Central. The team ended their winning ways when they lost to Mer¬ rillville in the Regionals. In addition to winning a Sectional title, the team produced individual stars. Sam Katsimpalis and John Dougherty were named to the All- Conference Baseball Team.

While the team’s strongest area was pitching, it could not make up for the lack of effort by players who had a tendency to quit too early. For exam¬ ple, the freshmen played well against Lake Central until the last inning when they lost 7-5. In addition, Coach Ivers had to do all the pre-game preparation of the field himself when the weather co-op¬ erated. An asset to the team, however, was Shane Trueblood. He maintained a .485 batting average for the season and scored a record 17 stolen bases. Mr. Keith Board, new to the Indus¬ trial Ed. Department, coached the Junior Varsity Baseball Team this year. The JV finished well with a 5-9 season record. Don Wisch looks behind him to make sure he’s still safe as he rounds second base. m Freshman Jim Hancock follows through on his pitch.

Many students didn’t take advantage of the opportunities, for low club membership was a problem for most organizations. Not all clubs suffered. Student Council took the lead in organizing and directing acitivites all year long. Theatre Arts not only produced two exciting theatre productions for Low¬ ell audiences but also won state and international recognition for itself. The problem of only a few active members hampered the success of events. Luckily, some clubs were able to stay “on target.” Lindsey Bryant, editor of the school newspa¬ per, uses the typesetting machine in Graphic Arts to set a story.

The newspaper, the Devils’ Advo¬ cate, and the yearbook, the Lowel- lian, served the student body, the fac¬ ulty, the administration, and the community by providing news of the school, recognition for achievements and business to its advertisers. The yearbook also extended its audience to El Salvador. Claudia Angulo, our foreign exchange student, will take back a copy of the Lowellian as a re¬ membrance of her year here. “Staffers do so much for others, yet they are taken for granted. The only time we get noticed is when the news¬ paper or the yearbook is late in deliv¬ ery,” said Ms. Carey, sponsor. Although both staffs are classified as clubs, they are really businesses who have, as yet, only provided ser¬ vice and received little in return. “All profit we make goes right back into the business; we don’t spend any on ourselves,” said Dianne Wlek¬ linski, yearbook editor. 76 Service Clubs SUNSHINE CLUB-ROW 1: Angela Dukes, Melissa Jared, Polly Watkins, Mia Summit, Sandie Behrens, Dana Ericson, Mary Jo Cramer ROW 2: Mary Moriarty, Jamie Bradley, Tonie Wolf, Stacey Holleman, Geor¬ gia David, Sharon Luke, Deb Stephens, Linda Cramer ROW 3: Mrs. Marilyn Riggle, spon¬ sor; Lynn Carpenter, Petra Cox, Patti Stoner, Julie Gidley, Sheri Edmondson, Lisa Brunner, Barbara Brown Service Clubs 77 STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS—ROW 1: Trent Depel, Robert Brunner, Lindsey Bry¬ ant ROW 2: Carla Shipley, Vicki Weiand, Kim Felder, Susan Sykes, Lori Mates, Kelly Childress ROW 3: Tammy Elliott, Cindy Blank, Chris Bielefeld, Shelly Paquette, Mi¬ chelle Maylath, Mark Mancilla STUDENT COUNCIL—ROW 1: Michelle Martin, Chris Grabek, Jodi Beier, Laurie Ga- sparovic, Kelli Thiele, Wendy Hutton ROW 2: John Seberger, Paul Skorka, Brian Tucker, Su¬ sie Manes, Joy Meadows, Rebecca Polihronis, Sheret Lindsay, Amy Lindahl, Kathy Wagner ROW 3: Tammy Carroll, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Bakker, Teri Kirgan, Donna Gunning, Tracey Boyles, Sue Wagner, Jill Schlueter, Beth Kaiser, Cindy Anderson Inactive clubs spring back to life “Too often NHS is not given the recognition it deserves and most of its members are not given the little pat on the back that serves as great en- couragment for them” said Dave Midkiff, National Honor Society president. This year the group earned recog¬ nition for its involvement in activities, a quality lacking in past years. They also tried to bring a bit more organi¬ zation into the operation of the club and its meetings. More importantly, club officers tried to make everyone feel united and at the same time stressed the importance of the indi¬ vidual. In addition to a fall dance and nu¬ merous candy sales, NHS visited Lowell Health Care Center at Christ¬ mas to sing carols. “I enjoyed caroling at Christmas time. At first I felt obligated to go, but after a few minutes, I was very glad I went,” said Jill Schlueter. For several years, the Student Council also seemed to be taking a break from involvement in activities, but this year, the Council came alive. All year long, they were leaders in organizing and sponsoring events. All of their leadership talents were called upon to organize their biggest project, the Spring Games. They in¬ volved the entire school in the event. Earlier in the year, they conducted another successful Blood Drive under the management of Robert Brunner. They surpassed their goal of 125 pints set last year. The Council was still rarely at rest from organizing Homecoming activi¬ ties around a cartoon theme to provid¬ ing voter registration opportunities to eligible students. They also hosted a District Student Council Convention with the theme, “The Sky is the Lim¬ it.” And as far as the Student Council was concerned, that seemed to be their goal this year. 78 Honor Clubs NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY—ROW 1: Jill Schlueter, Angie Perigo, Bill Crawford, Cindy Skorka, Kathy Robinson, Polly Wat¬ kins, Jeni McIntosh, Lisa Abraham, Paul Bakker, John Crane ROW 2: Robin Fetsch, Jodi Vandenberg, Laurie Morris, Lori Baker, Wendy Carlson, Tracey Boyles, Vicki Weiand, Julie Zarych, Leslie Sykes, Kim Felder, Susan Sykes, Regina Searle, Carol Render ROW 3: Dave Midkiff, Eric Macom, Scott Patchett, David Mares, Ken Stemme, Chris Laszlo, Cin¬ dy Blank, Diana Lotz, Renee Mortimer, Caro¬ lyn Blank, Kevin McCarthy, Jim Pickett, Rolf Alexis Robin Fetsch and Kevin McCarthy light their candle as they are inducted into National Hon¬ or Society.

The students gained experience in the automotive industry by repairing vehicles for people who could not oth¬ erwise afford to and by assisting the bus mechanics when they were need¬ ed. A field trip to the Auto Show in Chicago gave students first-hand ex¬ perience in the exciting happenings in the automotive industry and helped them develop a feeling of pride in their chosen field of interest. By working together, the club held its annual weekend ski trip and tool box raffle. Mr. Blanchard said, “I enjoy wit¬ nessing student excitement, anticipa¬ tion and enthusiasm as they plan and finally experience a recreational weekend involved in a sport they might otherwise never have known.” VICA students also competed in contests from which they earned high honors. Terry White was a state med¬ al winner in the Trouble Shooting Contest. Terry, along with Ron An¬ derson, was a team winner in the same competition. The club also had an added sur¬ prise in enrollment. Senior Becky Feehan became the first girl to join the club. Another club involved in technol¬ ogy was the Computer Club, but they had a little trouble getting started. Mr. Ouwenga, club sponsor said, “Computers are available to all stu¬ dents in the school who become club members.” Despite inadequate computer equipment and little participation in planned activities, the club won sec¬ ond place in a programming contest and held a successful raffle to buy more equipment.

Club, ICE and OEA were very active and very popular this year as career clubs. Besides earning money, they also participated in var¬ ious contests and brought honors to themselves. OEA sponsored several fund-rais¬ ers, the most successful being the cit¬ rus fruit sale. Active members were rewarded for their efforts with Torch Awards which were earned with ser¬ vice points. OEA contest participants went as far as the state level again this year with their skills. The most successful activity planned by the Industrial Ed. Club was their construction of the prize¬ winning Homecoming float. In their spare time, they sponsored a Santa’s workshop, participated in the Spring Games and raised money for a schol¬ arship. “Industrial Ed. is a valuable club in the educational as well as extra-cur¬ ricular sense,” said Rolf Alexis, Se¬ cretary Treasurer. The members of ICE worked hard their final year, not only at their jobs, but also at trying to save the program from being discontinued. Weekly Fri¬ day morning doughnut sales were their main source of income that kept them functioning as a vital part of the extra-curricular program. “Seeing students learn to organize and prioritize items related to clubs and course and having students real¬ ize goals they set for the organiza¬ tion” are the memories Mr. Jim Kane, sponsor, has of the ICE pro¬ gram. These career-oriented clubs not only provided many services to the school and community but also helped students gain job skills and a sense of leadership and responsibility.

Foreign language students hosted a dinner for themselves and were able to sample dishes from all over the world. Members prepared and served the meal themselves. French Club students this year had the opportunity to use their language talents when they traveled to Quebec over spring break. The trip was fi¬ nanced by the club members who ac¬ tively participated in several fund¬ raisers. Foreign Exchange Club hosted two foreign students, Valerie Berkon from France, and Claudia Angulo, from El Salvador. Both ladies quickly became active in the organization and gave other members many insights into life in a foreign country. The clubs also spread their influ¬ ence to others. The Spanish Club sang Christmas carols at the local nursing home and Jodi Vandenberg, French Club president, presented slides of her trip to France to commu¬ nity organizations and classes at the middle school.

Both groups suffered from a lack of student participation which is usually measured by the success of the athle¬ tic team in season. Pep Club tried offering home Pep Club passes but membership and spirit was still down. L Club tried to combat the mem¬ bership problem by eliminating their point system and offering discounts at games; the ideas seemed to work. The group provided services to the com¬ munity and the athletic department with car washes, helping out at the Oktoberfest, selling programs and working concession stands. Accord¬ ing to Mr. Bales, L Club sponsor, and Lindsey Bryant, L Club president, the group was most successful in the assistance they porvided. Said Mr. Bales, “Students served as assistants for officials and they al¬ ways made a point to thank our orga¬ nization for their hospitality.” PEP CLUB—ROW 1: Lori Baker, Stacy Ant- cliff, Jodi Beier, Laurie Gasparovic, Dawn White, Michelle White ROW 2: Laurie Mor¬ ris, Kelly Carlson, Angie Laumeyer, Lori Hor- neij, Karen Andrade, Jill Schlueter, Michelle Lee Athletic Clubs 91 Behind each organization sits a dedicated sponsor By law, every club or organization must have an adult sponsor in order to exist. However, it is by dedication and an interest in young people that keeps club sponsors chaperoning dances, su¬ pervising bake sales and attending re¬ hearsals and practice sessions. Very few club and organization sponsors are paid for extra hours they devote to club activities. Many times, teachers volunteer to sponsor a club rather than see an extra-curricular activity die. Others choose the job out of real pleasure. “I used to be a cheerleader; that’s why I became a sponsor,” said Mrs. Patz, cheerleading sponsor. Class sponsors inherit the job be¬ cause of the homeroom class they are assigned. Regardless of how sponsors get their jobs, they all agree on the re¬ wards of the position. “It’s an opportunity to be close to my students. They see me somewhere else than in the classroom,” said Mrs. Ciochina, Theatre Arts sponsor. Other advisers see their jobs as an extension of their classroom responsi¬ bilities. “Seeing students obtain skills and be successful is encouraging. The club members learn to develop lead¬ ership qualities and to work together as a group to reach a common goal,” said Ms. Nemeth, OEA sponsor. What keeps sponsors returning year after year despite all the work? “It’s a pleasure to watch the girls take on responsibility and be success¬ ful at it,” said Mrs. Riggle, Sunshine Club sponsor. Added Ms. Carey, yearbook and newspaper adviser, “To see the look of pride and excitement on the faces of staffers whenever an issue or book they produced comes out makes every long hour of work more special to me.” Band director, Mr. Vacaro, introduces the group’s next number at the concert. 92 Club Sponsors Mr. Kalbac, Industrial Ed.

After various athletic practices, students con¬ gregate in the Devils’ Commons to wait for their rides home. Don Giedemann and Scott Wilson wait in line to use the phone while Susie Manes calls home for a ride after tennis practice. Yes, Lowell High School, there is life here after 3:30 p.m. When the classroom lights are turned off and the last bus pulls away, you would think that peace would reign in these round halls. WRONG! Athletic teams use after-school hours to condition, to train, or to play their sport in competition. Clubs plan their acitivites; actors rehearse their lines; adults satisfy a thirst for more knowledge—all this happens after 3:30 p.m. as custodians clean away the remnants of day-time activities. Looking for a little “life”? Stick around after the last tone. 96 Life after 3:30 Mr. Wornhoff supervises a weekly Wednesday evening detention. Life after 3:30 97 Self- studies signal change One of the most active areas of the school this year was academics, an area most taken for granted as being without change. Faculty members in all depart¬ ments completed studies of their per¬ formance and the school for a North Central evaluation. New state guide¬ lines for high school credits meant ex¬ panding some programs while others faced a reduction in courses and staff. Without a sound curriculum and capable faculty, a high school need not exist, but we didn’t just exist—we flourished. We changed for the better when necessary to keep ourselves “on target” academically. Mrs. Reddick helps Owen Whybrew and Alan Walker with a class assignment. Taking tests is part of the academic structure. For some it’s an easy task; for others, it’s a chore. 98 Academics ADMINISTRATION—Mr. Don Bales, Ath¬ letic Director; Mr. Tom Johnson, Assistant Principal; Mr. Bill Wornhoff, Dean of Stu¬ dents; Dr. Roger Luekens, Principal Mr. Wornhoff presents an award to Cindy Oberc at Honors Night. Mr. Johnson checks on a student’s absences with Mrs. Daley, attendance secretary. 100 Administration Challenges face leaders The School Board and the high school administration coped with sev¬ eral unique situations. With the expi¬ ration of teacher contracts, much of the spring was spent in negotiations with teachers over salary. The high school administrators, be¬ sides making sure the daily routine of the high school went smoothly, were also dealing with some out-of-the-or- dinary events. Another asbestos abatement session over spring break required alternative plans and sched¬ ules. New state guidelines for high school credits required planning ahead for changes in curriculum and staffing. Preparations for the North Central visitation in November 1984 meant completing evaluations of the faculty, the administration and the building. Administration 101 New books chosen for next year It was the turn of Language Arts Departments across the state to select new textbooks and the English De¬ partment spent the majority of the year evaluating new books. The new grammar and speech books will re¬ place outdated and worn ones. The department, along with others in the school, prepared evaluation forms for the North Central team. As a result, the curriculum was revised. Senior English students became lit- 102 English erary critics when they read the novel, 1984, by George Orwell. As part of their assignment, they had to deter¬ mine if Orwell’s predictions fifty years ago came true. Junior English classes used infor¬ mation they gathered from guest speakers on college selection and fi¬ nancing to write a paper. Mrs. Foss and Mr. Mills organized the unit to make juniors more aware of college opportunities. I Becky Williams, Tammy Smalley, and Pam Roof work as a group on their class project for Mrs. Patz’s English class. Anne Bruce presents her oral report on the topic she had chosen for her term paper in Col¬ lege English. Mrs. Foss comments on an idea presented by one of the students in her College English class during a class discussion. English 103 Small means=Big results in language Although the foreign language de¬ partment had limited facilities, high enrollment, and insufficient materi¬ als, the experienced staff produced successful students and established a complete and effective program. For example, those who followed the complete sequence in French or Spanish did well on entrance exams and received advanced placement credit in college. Claudia Angulo, a Spanish foreign exchange student from El Salvador, spent her year here and helped fellow students in appreciating Spanish. The depar tment offered the oppor¬ tunity for students to travel to a for¬ eign country. Mrs. Mills said, “See¬ ing the country, experiencing the culture, and using the study of lan¬ guage are invaluable to making the study of language real, alive, and re¬ warding.” 104 Foreign Language Mr. and Mrs. Mills make breaking the pifiata more difficult. Each year they open their home for a traditional fiesta at Christmas.

SCIENCE—ROW 1: Major Ben Rineheart, Mr. Jeff Dhonau, Mrs. Sue McQuiston, Mr. Omer Beeching, Mr. Bruce Farley ROW 2: Mr. Mark Goodman, Mrs. Audrey Norris Mr. Weiand explains a point to a freshman biology student. 108 Science Area wrong for teaching This year’s North Central evalua¬ tion gave Science Department mem¬ bers a chance to evaluate themselves. Their decision—a well-trained and experienced staff is working in a physical facility that is not appropri¬ ate for teaching science. There isn’t enough laboratory work space and the acoustics in the area do not help in teaching. Next year, the problem may be¬ come more serious with the doubling of the science requirements under new state guidelines. As a result, stu¬ dent enrollment is expected to in¬ crease in sections of chemistry and earth science. A positive change in the depart¬ ment was the addition of Mrs. Norris to replace Mr. Stone. As a result there were changes in instruction for chemistry, physics and biology. Science 109 Seniors have float days While some may view the Social Studies Department as ancient as the history it teaches, it was this subject area that was different because only senior government students held on to float days while all other courses eliminated them. Also unique to the department was the Current Affairs class. Open to ju¬ niors and seniors, the course studied present trends, events and ideas that affect us right now. As a final class project, students compiled a slide pre¬ sentation dealing with a current issue. A visit by community Civil War experts and a mock trial all helped to accomplish the goal of making history relevant. Supplementing these special events were films, guests lecturers, and class projects. 110 Social Studies Mr. Kamanaroff lectures to his senior govern¬ ment students who were the last to experience float days. A young man models typical Civil War soldier dress for U.S. History students. Mr. Naumowich entertains his psychology class with one of his anecdotes that helps them better understand the workings of the mind. Mrs. Lonardi introduces members of the com¬ munity who have collected authentic Civil War memorablia to her students. Mrs. Hurt checks students ' notes from her Current Affairs class. Social Studies 111 V Modern equipment lacking in area The Business Department has al¬ ways been dedicated to developing the students’ interest, capabilities and skills in business and this year was no different. The Date Processing course made use of computers instead of the keypunch this year. Next year the course will be titled “Computer Ap¬ plications in Business” to keep up with current business trends. Ac¬ counting, taught by Mrs. Cunning¬ ham, also used micro-computers. While the department has tried to keep up with the reality of the ever- changing business world, the supply of new, modern equipment has not. The area is still seriously lacking enough up-to-date equipment despite the expected arrival of 12 new com¬ puters. As a student in the Intensive Office Lab, Paula Vuksinic assumes the duties and work of an actual secretary. Deb Stephens checks over her work for errors while she plays back the lesson on the dicta¬ phone. BUSINESS—Mrs. Nancy Reyes, Ms. Kathy Nelson, Mrs. Phyllis Cunningham, Ms. Pat Nemeth, Mr. Steve Leonard Through independent study, Sharon Luke learns how to operate the word processor in the Intensive Office Lab.

Kevin Haskins uses the equipment to solve a problem in Electronics. Donna Kontal uses the circular saw on her pro¬ jects in Woods. Seeing a girl in the shop has become a common sight. 114 Industrial Education Shop moves into Hi-Tech Since society is moving out of the industrial era and into “Hi-Technol- ogy”, the Industrial Education De¬ partment made changes to better serve students’ needs. An increase in enrollment of over 5% from last year prompted the addi¬ tion of new instructional units like “Robotics” in Electronics’ Special Problems class. A new staff member, Mr. Keith Board, organized and up¬ dated the metal shop area. Out-of-class projects helped pre¬ pare students for the future by shar¬ pening their skills. Contests like the Mouse Trap Derby and a Toothpick Bridge Building Contest were fun ways to learn about architecture and drawing. Shop students also built counters and welding booths for use in the department. Mrs. Marcia Reddick was the new Ag instructor and FFA sponsor. Mr. Kalbac checks over the plans of a student in Drawing class. AGRICULTURE—Mrs. Marcia Reddick Mrs. Lorig, choir director, directs a musical rehearsal for PIPPIN. She also helped select music for the fall play, GLIMPSES. Swing Choir members, Pat Payne and Ben Ru- ley, sing at the Spring Concert. Both singers won gold medals at State. Mrs. Lorig directs the Concert Choir at the Spring Concert. The band entertains the audience at its annual concert. 116 Music Choir honored at State The Band and Choir put in many hours of rehearsal time and their dedication was evident in concerts and contest performances. Choir director, Mrs. Julia Lorig, led the choir to many honors and awards. The Concert Choir received a gold medal at the Indiana State Solo School Muisc Association and the solo, ensemble, madrigal and barber¬ shop quartet received awards at dis¬ trict and state levels. Mrs. Lorig also arranged and di¬ rected the music for GLIMPSES and PIPPIN. She worked closely with theatre director, Mrs. Ciochina, to co-ordinate and rehearse more diffi¬ cult musical arrangements for both shows. The Band once again entertained at their annual concert. The Jazz Band has become a popular feature at these concerts. Music 117 Electives hit by new law The Art and Home Economics De¬ partments have already begun to feel the impact of new state guidelines which stress academics. Both depart¬ ments have seen a decrease in enroll¬ ment and expect a reduction in staff. Nevertheless, both areas provided a variety of courses to suit every inter¬ est and need. This year, Home Ec of¬ fered 10 semester courses in areas of practical knowledge that could be used in every day living, like “Living on Your Own”. The Art Department’s selection of electives gave students a chance to satisfy their creative curiosity in classes like “Special Problems”. Art students also had more of a chance to display their work in art shows held to coincide with play performances. 118 Art Home Ec Julie Gidley, Sheri Deyarmin, Donna Guttillo and Marilyn Lotz arrange the refreshment table at Open House. Food was prepared and served by Home Ec students. Art students choose an appropriate spot for an ornament on the school’s Christmas tree. The art classes made deocrations and decorated the tree. Mrs. Hardesty and Tracy Mink try to lure cus¬ tomers to take a chance at the Home Ec booth at the Spring Games.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPART¬ MENT: Mrs. Joy Hafer ROW 2: Mr. Tom Renn, Mr. Don Bales, Mr. Bill Weiand, Mr. Joe Lorig, Ms. Cheryle Mitchell, Mr. Steve Leonard Two counselors added to aid students The Guidance Department exper¬ ienced several changes this year. After the loss of Mr. Perry and Mrs. Vandermark to retirement, the de¬ partment welcomed Mr. Tex Reddick and Ms. Pat Greulich, from the mid¬ dle school. In terms of programs, the depart¬ ment worked to insure that students would be meeting new state guide¬ lines in their choice of courses. They also expanded such programs as the Regional College Fair, a Parents’ Night for parents of eighth graders, and sessions for interpretation of SRA and PSAT scores. The Physical Education Depart¬ ment also witnessed change in its cur¬ riculum. I D Sports was restruc¬ tured to include two days each in a specialized sport, weight training, and lecture. Drug Ed students cov¬ ered the areas of suicide and child abuse for the first time in class. 120 PE Guidance Mr. Reddick assists Chuck Vandenberg in preparing his schedule for next year. Counselors helped students interpret new state guidelines and choose appropriate classes accordingly.

The secretaries are al¬ ways available to answer questions or handle business; the aides help in¬ struction by having materials handy; the cooks make sure we’re well-fed; the custodians clean up after us; and the bus drivers get us to all this activ¬ ity safely. These fine people are usually taken for granted for we only notice when they’re not around and their jobs go undone. So, if you are reading this, thank a secretary, an aide, a cook, a custodian or a bus driver! Supplemental Staff 123 You should see us now! The old library isn’t what it used to be! First of all there is a new librarian in charge, Mr. Steve DeVillez. His First step was to remodel the library and enclose it with book shelves and study carrels. Now stu¬ dents use the area to either work or study independently or in small groups. Mr. DeVillez also reorga¬ nized procedures and upgraded equ- piment in the media center. Mr. DeVillez worked extensively with the Theatre Department to pro¬ fessionalize the lighting and sound systems for theatre productions. 124 Library Study carrels and tables were arranged to give students privacy and access to the library mate¬ rials at the same time. Lynn Eaton leafs through a magazine to find an article for class. Magazines were cataloged and made more available to students and staff. Mrs. Berg, library aide, assigns duties to student library aides. Mr. Leonard and Melissa Jared make use of the newly formed study area in the library. The East Commons was absorbed by the library to provide a quiet place to read. Library 125 People help hit targets People make a school year come alive and with the variety and quality of people we have, it’s no wonder it was a year of change—of doing. Seniors felt change the most with the elimination of float days and mod breaks but they responded by doing their best with wins at Powder Puff and the Spring Games. The juniors made giant strides by moving Prom to a l ocation other than school. The sophomores had many successes with their new ideas for fundraisers and the Class of 1987 was the most active freshman class in a long time. It was people who kept us “on tar¬ get” this year. The munchie machine” attracts crowds all times of the day. Andy Finn and Mike Martin surround them¬ selves with signs of the time. 126 Album Lindsey Bryant does her share in the bicycle race to lead the seniors to victory in the Spring Games. Fir st Class The seniors made some firsts in their last year of high school—some¬ times even willingly. The Class of 1984 was the first to face a school day without mod breaks and float days despite their efforts to keep these tra¬ ditions. “After having so many changes done to our class, we pulled together and still had fun,” said Tammy El¬ liott, class vice-president. Fun and firsts for the seniors meant winning the class competition in the first annual Spring Games and keep¬ ing the tradition of a winning Powder Puff team alive. All of these changes had one effect on the class—to bring them even clos¬ er together. Said Tammy Elliott, “The gradu¬ ating class of 1984 is one that came into high school as one, big group and left as one big group.” SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS—ROW 1: Vicki Weiand, Secretary Treasurer; Tammy Elliott, Vice-president; Cindy Blank, President Sue Green.

It’s your last day of high school. You’ve practiced and you know what to do at graduation. What’s left to do? “Party” at the Senior Banquet! The Class of 1984 celebrated their last night as seniors remembering old friendships, laughing at past good times and creating memories to last. In between, there was dancing and the presenting of Hall of Fun “awards”. At the same time, it was also a sad occasion. For many seniors, it was the last time they would be together as a group enjoying each other’s company. As the evening end¬ ed and tearful goodbye’s were said, the Class of 1984 looked toward more good times—but never again as high school seniors.

By the end of the year, class members were congratulating them¬ selves on a successful Prom held at the Raging Bull Restaurant in Mer- rilliville. As a result of the experience, Kim Felder, class president said, “I gained many headaches, enemies and the satisfaction of knowing that 1 raised money and held a successful Prom.” Susan Sykes, class vice-president, said it best, “This was a good year to be a junior!” JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS—Lori Mates, Secretary Treasurer; Su¬ san Sykes, Vice-president; Kim Felder, President Juniors congregate in the locker bay between classes. “1 think all of the activities brought the class a little closer together,” said Lori Mates. 164 Juniors Lisa Abraham Steven Adams Deanna Alexander Rolf Alexis Erling Alfredson Karen Andrade Kyle Antcliff Rinda Asher Diane Atherton Mary Atterbury Wayne Backe Paul Bakker Jeffrey Beier Lori Beier Jack Belt Todd Berner Jenni Bielefeld Melissa Blandford Carolyn Blank George Blissett Dave Bodnar Robert Dowden Mark Broe Dana Buchanan Kimberly Bunce Heidi Burger Tammy Bushman Paula Busselberg Dave Butler Thomas Cammack Matthew Carlberg Troy Carlson Tammy Carroll David Childress Jack Childress Keely Cook Lisa Corning Petra Cox Mary Cramer John Crane Jeffrey Cripe Carine Czerwinski Ryan Dahl Suzanne Daley Harry Davis Colleen Dawson Sunday Detamore Jeffrey Dewes Sheri Deyarmin Donald Donahue Joseph Donaldson John Dougherty Dana Drew David Dyrhaug Juniors 165 Kenneth Eakins Charles Eich Gina Eich Mary Eichenberger Deanna Ericson Dawn Everett Dan Feddeler Jim Feddeler Kim Felder Theodore Fetsch Greg Fields John Fiene Sheila Finn Clifford Fleener Gary Florence Charles Freeman Paige Freeman Louis Frigo Dale Gasparini Rex Gasparini Wayne Gerst Julie Gidley Donald Giedemann Joseph Gottschalk Robert Gross Paula Grothaus Cindy Gullett Dawn Guttillo Michael Hammersley Ronald Hardesty Terry Harmston Kevin Haskins Elizabeth Hass Jerri Hatch Todd Hayden Trudy Hayden David Heath William Heath Barbara Hegyi Tina Herr Michael Highsmith Joel Holt James Holzhauer Kimberly House Larry Hyatte Rebecca James Melissa Jared Michael Johnson Kay Juriss Anthony Jusevitch Shane Kala Kathleen Kelley Carol Kender Dale Kennedy im c I il Junior Kirk Redman helps himself to lunch at the salad bar.

The class of 1986 is earning a repu¬ tation for coming up with new ideas to raise money and being successful with them. This year, the class was put in charge of hosting the Christmas Dance by the Student Council for the first time. “With plenty of class participation, we pulled it off,” said Shelly Pa¬ quette, class vice-president. According to Shelly, the class’ only obstacle to achieving all they want is time. “Our class has many ideas and I don’t always follow through with them. It’s not that I don’t want to; it’s time that is our enemy.” Jarrod Adams Kenneth Alexander Sherrie Alexander Kurt Anderson George Armond Jennifer Arnold Kenneth Asbury David Austgen Richard Babbs Bradford Bach Kristine Backe Michelle Bafia Michelle Baker Gary Ballard Terry Ballou Gregg Barnhart Michael Bauman William Bean Deborah Behrens Adam Berwick Matthew Bielefeld Jim Ballard Brandi Blanton Andrew Bly Blaine Bradbury Jamie Bradley Richard Briggs Troy Bright Scott Broe Challa Brown Robert Brunner Lynette Buchmeier Tony Bunce Sheryl Burbach Melinda Burchell Eric Burton Louise Bushnell Gregory Bydalek Bruce Carey Kelly Carlson Michael Cash Karla Cencion Jennifer Cermack Mamie Childress Deia Clark Paul Conners Theodore Cory John Cox Linda Cramer John Crayens Jeffrey Cummins Carey Cunningham Harry Davis Carrie Day Sophomores Sophomore schedules include study hall time and this South Commons group uses the time for a little study and a little socializing.

President Freshmen leave their mark on all “Even though we are new to the high school, we are not limited to what we can do to help the school,” said Mark Mancilla, freshman class secretary treasurer. As the newest members of Student Council, they helped organize the Spring Games and worked to find their place in school activities, and fund-raisers. Each of the officers looked upon his first year as class leaders as a learning experience. “I have learned how to organize and motivate people and to have fun doing it,” said Chris Bielefeld, class president. Motivation took the class to a win in the Homecoming float competi¬ tion, a first for a freshmen class. As Mark concluded, “We are rec¬ ognized not just as freshmen, but a vital part of the school.” 180 Freshmen - ' ---2r r - _ 4 n rl a n a n n 0 o y a o ' 35 ' Sfi.

A year¬ book is not just thrown together in a few days. It takes a lot of time, hard work and patience. This year we were very fortunate to have five staffers who stuck with us into the summer after school was out. I owe a big “Thank You!” to Julie Rokosz, Kim Patchett, Kelly Thiele, Jamie Brad¬ ley, and Lenore Spencer. Thank you, for without your help it would have taken many more long hours and much more hard work to complete the 1984 LOWELLIAN. Ms. Carey, I cannot tell you how much you have helped me, not only with the yearbook, but to help me grow and learn more about myself. Thank you for everything. Another big thanks goes to George Kingsley, Jr., our Herff Jones Repre¬ sentative. George, these past two years you showed me how to take such a big project and make it a suc¬ cessful one. Thank you; you were a big influence on me. Thanks also go to Melissa Laking for designing the cover; Ms. Nemeth for the use of her typewriters; ROOT for their photographers; coaches, club sponsors, administrators, and depart¬ ment chairpersons for the informa¬ tion supplied to us, and the businesses who advertised in this 1984 yearbook. I would also like to thank my par¬ ents who were so supportive, especial¬ ly these past two years. During the two years which I was editor, I learned what the yearbook is for. The yearbook is for the students of Lowell High School. For this rea¬ son I would like to dedicate the 1984 LOWELLIAN to the students of Lowell High School.

We’ve all tried to hit targets this year—in our per¬ sonal lives, in our classes, in sports, in our extracurricular choices. We may have been successful in achieving our goals in some areas but in others, we may not be anywhere near a bullseye. It doesn’t matter. What counts is that we set targets or goals to work to¬ ward. The theme “On Target!” was cho¬ sen because it seemed to best repre¬ sent what the year was all about. But it’s a theme that goes beyond this year for all of us. As long as we work for goals—today or in the future—we can always say, “BULLSEYE—WE ARE ON TARGET!” An aerial view of Lowell High School resembles a bullseye.
