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.

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
