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 . . . BULLSEYE—WE WERE ON TARGET! schedules on their first day of high school.

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.

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.
