' ROB: No, I didn ' t order one.” SUE: There ' s still some at the book¬ store.” ROB: Why would I want a yearbook? What’s in it for me?” SUE: Plenty—don ' t you want to be a part of it all?” ROB: Sure, but what does a book of pictures have to do with it? SUE: Everything, from the football sea¬ son record to the Prom is in there. It helps you be up on it all. ROB: Why should I care? SUE: Wouldn ' t you like to look back and remember things as they were?” ROB: I can remember anything that ' s important. Like last Saturday...” SUE: High school is more than what happens on the weekends. Like it ' s sports, dances, and other stuff. Isn’t that enough to get excited about?” ROB: That ' s all real nice, but I need proof.” SUE: Well, go buy that yearbook and find out WHAT ' S IN IT FOR YOU!” Sports pictures posted in the Devils ' Commons dur¬ ing Homecoming Week catch the interest of stu¬ dents. 2 What ' s in it for During a scene in UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE, Gina Eich reacts disgustedly to a remark by Kirk This was just one of the possibilities the seniors used Redman. Gina played the part of a new teacher who to express their spirit during Homecoming Week. wanted endless success with her students.

His choices for entertainment are limitless. There are many activities included in each year’s cal¬ endar of events to attract his interest. For the theatrical student, the fall and spring plays, and the newly-created Homecoming Variety Show are interest¬ ing prospects. The Homecoming activities and Junior Miss Pageant are exciting choices for the student who wants to get involved with competition. For those who simply enjoy a relaxing evening with someone special, there are the Christmas and Sadie Hawkins Dances and, of course, the special dance, the Ju¬ nior-Senior Prom. The possibilities are endless! With Mt. Vacaro, band director, the Pep Band, and the cheerleaders giving their support at a pep session, the possibilities for an athletic victory are endless. Student Life Student Life 5 Morrow wins Jr. Miss Senior girls enter the Junior Miss com¬ petition for different reasons. Karen Andrade said, I wanted to get to know the girls of my graduating class better, and Junior Miss seemed a fun way to do it.” What all the girls discover, however, is that the pageant is not all glamour and excitement. Many long hours are spent polishing the program. On September 25, the winner of the 22nd annual Junior Miss Program, Jenna Marie Morrow, was announced. Jenna also won the judges ' interview, giving her 35 percent of the total points. Susan Sykes was first runner up; Kathy Robinson, the second runner-up, also received the Youth and Fitness Award. The Creative Talent Award went to Sarah Scheckel. Carolyn Blank received the Performing Talent Award, and Gina Eich was hon¬ ored for Scholastic Achievement. Finally, Kim Felder won the Poise and Appear¬ ance Award, and Kelly Mathias was the Spirit of Junior Miss. Junior Mis Coach Leonard offers the Junior-Senior Team words of encouragement. It must have worked because they won!

The Homecoming festivities began with Spirit Week which aided in boosting the morale of the team and the student body. Spirit Week needed more participa¬ tion from everyone, but the senior class won the Spirit Stick as usual, said Chris Zugel, sophomore. Spirit Week provided a sense of unity and school spirit with everyone working together to build pride in our school. Due to new state requirements, a pep session could not be held during the school day. This year, the pep session was held at the bonfire before the Powder Puff game on Wednesday. The Junior-Senior Team carried the Powder Puff game to a smashing victory. Dave Heath was crowned Homecoming King as a part of the evening’s activities. By the end of this week of anticipation for the game, everyone was sure, There’s no stoppin’ us!” Homecoming 9 We are Bison Busters WE WON! The Lowell Red Devils de¬ feated the Benton Central Bisons, 17-8, for a long awaited Homecoming victory. Dawn Everett, the Homecoming Queen, and her court were recognized during half-time of the game. As a break with tradition, the Home¬ coming Parade was held before the game as an attempt to heighten morale and sup¬ port for the team. The efforts paid off! The victory” Homecoming Dance was a celebration for the team and the fans. Another reason to celebrate was a first; the music for the dance was provided by a DJ with an exciting light show to captivate the dancers. Although the dance started slow, it was worthwhile once everyone started dancing,” said Don Giedemann. This year ' s Homecoming theme, There ' s no stoppin’ us!” really summed up Homecoming activities. The first place Industrial Education float picks up on the popular Ghostbusters theme to prove the Red Devil superiority over Benton Central. 10 Homecoming Theatre gets the spirit To spark enthusiasm for Homecoming, the Theatre Arts Department and Thespi¬ ans added The History of Homecom¬ ing—Part I to this year ' s activities. The show was an original comedy written by theatre students and created specifically to boost school spirit. Coach Joe Lorig commented, The show had a short range effect on the stu¬ dent body and administrators, but I didn ' t feel it had an effect on the team. It might have if the show had been scheduled be¬ fore the game. The show’s script poked fun at choice students, teachers, and administra¬ tors. One audience member said, I laughed so hard at the Teachers as Children ' skit! How did they get away with it? Cast member Andrea Mortimer said, I never felt like I was a part of Homecom¬ ing until the show. I think the show was a really positive part of Homecoming this year. It was a mega-blast!” What does the Part I” in the show ' s title mean? Will there be a History of Homecoming—Part II ? Only time will tell.

These are the same situations our faculty faces each day. Leading ady, Gina Eich, said, I learned a great deal about teachers and students while trying t© portray a teacher. Eighty people auditioned for the cast of 30 and competition between cast mem¬ bers created a somewhat distant cast. After several pep talks,” however, the cast banded together and worked as a team. Cast member, Sarah Scheckel, said, I was frustrated and frightened that the show would not come together, but, much to my relief, it did. Director Mrs. Debra Ciochina was de¬ lighted with the success of the show. I think the show was a realistic, comical drama with a clear message to never give up on anyone or let problems get in the way. I enjoyed directing the students in the show.

Dfs music sets mood The Christmas Dance, Snowflakes by Starlight, was sponsored by the sopho¬ more class and held on December 22. Instead of hiring the traditional band to play, the class used a disc jockey to pro¬ vide music. I liked the idea of having a DJ rather than a band. It was a lot more fun to dance. I had a really good time,” said ju¬ nior Shelly Paquette. In addition to music and good com¬ pany, guests were treated to a surprise visit from Santa Claus who stopped by to spread holiday cheer throughout the Dev¬ ils’ Commons. While there were few snowflakes out¬ side that night, there was plenty of star¬ light inside to set a holiday mood. Refreshments were provided by the sophomore class who sponsored the annual holiday dance. Christmas Dance 17 Sadies dance to a D J On March 22, the Multi-Purpose Room looked like a barn. Don ' t worry! The hay bales and straw were perfect for setting a Western mood for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. This year, the annual turnabout dance sponsored by the junior class featured a disc jockey, Rolling Sounds. This was quite a break from the tradition of a coun¬ try band. The country theme was continued in the rest of the decorations. Construction paper farms with the names of couples attending decorated the walls. The scene was also carried out in the background of the pictures taken by Spasoff. The highlight of the dance, as always, is the marriage ceremony between the Sa¬ dies and their fellas . Performing the rites this year was Reverend Naumowich. 18 Sadie Hawkins Sadie Hawkir Marne ' s acting debut as Vera ' s (Carolyn Blank) co- star is less than spectacular. One of the experiences Mame exposes Patrick to is the world of art created by artist Matt Francis and his model, Karen Andrade. Karen Andrade and John Ruley have parts as chorus members. The production required a larger chorus 20 MAME MAME stops the show! The spring musical, MAME, was a smash! Many of the shows were sold out and the house was packed with an appre¬ ciative audience each performance. The storyline dealt with a social butter¬ fly, Marne, who gains custody of her young, impressionable nephew, Patrick. She raises him to be a mature, sensitive and intelligent young man. The play not only dealt with Patrick ' s growth, but also with Marne ' s. Valuable lessons on life were learned by the fiction¬ al characters and the audience, too. Carey Cunningham, voted most prom¬ ising actress, portrayed Marne. Putting this musical together was a lot of hard work. We pulled it together in the end and had a great time doing it! said Carey. In addition to the story and the fine acting, the audience was also entertained by the costuming done by Mr. Tom Su- fana and the music provided by Lowell ' s own orchestra under the direction of Mr. Joe Vacaro. Said one audience member, MAME was the best production I ' ve ever attended at the school. The kids did a great job. What impressed me was the way the stage crew helped the cast with dress changes and props. They deserve recognition, MAME Prom-goers enjoy changes This year like every other, the juniors and seniors anxiously awaited the arrival of Prom. They looked forward to this gala from their first year of high school. And the day. May 18, finally arrived. In keeping with the tradition estab¬ lished last year, the Prom was held outside of school at the After Four Supper Club in Cedar Lake. Here is where similarities to other Proms ended however. One change was the reserved seating policy established by the hosts, the ju¬ niors. Couples had to choose the table they wished to be seated at when they signed up to attend. One reason for this was the designing of the favors which were water goblets containing lit candles which were engraved with the couple ' s names and placed at their table setting. The theme, Stairway to Heaven , was not advertised as in years before. It was kept secret until the doors opened at 8:00 P.M. that evening. The club was decorat¬ ed with streamers of silver and set off with a winding silver staircase. The juniors chose the band Jubal for entertainment and Doren for pictures to preserve memories of a grand evening. 22 Prom Members of the sophomore class were in charge of serving refreshments to Prom couples. Carey Cunningham and Ben Ruley take a break from dancing. Couples had to reserve their table seating in advance. Dave Heath and Dawn Everett were chosen as Prom King and Queen. Senior couples served as their Prom court. The band Jubal was chosen to dancing couples. ic for the As Prom couples arrive, they find out the theme for the first time and are swept up the Stairway to Heaven. Ruffles, lace, top hats, canes Prom fashions create style Annie Ross and Brad Stepp pose for their formal Prom picture wearing outfits chosen by most cou¬ ples this year. The romantic look for girls and the sophisticated look for the guys were popular. While Lori Mates chose a lacy, romantic gown for the Prom. John Crane chose to individualize his tux- National statistics show that more high school students than ever before are at¬ tending their Proms and spending large sums of money on the traditionals like clothes, flowers and dinner, not to men¬ tion the ' frills ' ' like a limousine or the day after expenses. Prom is the one time dur¬ ing the year that couples can really dress up and they have started a whole new fashion trend in the process. Guys chose the traditional tuxedo in white, grey or black but they made them look more special with the return to ruf¬ fled shirts. Many of them chose to dress their tuxes up even more by wearing ties and cumberbunds in colors to match their dates ' dresses. Becoming popular too are top hats and canes for a more sophisticat¬ ed look. Popular with the girls for Prom this year was the return to the frilly, off-the- shoulder, romantic, pastel dresses of years past. As an accessory, many girls chose parasols in the color of their dresses to complete the outfit. For girls, however, almost any evening wear was in style, even short dresses or gowns in various styles and colors. While the Madonna or punk look may never catch on for Prom wear, every cou¬ ple can set their own style for a very spe¬ cial night of the year. A top hat, a cane, and a tuxedo can ' t stop Owen Whybrew from enjoying the music at the Ptom. Decorative fans covered in flowers made popular flower arrangements for the girls. Kevin McCarthy tries out his own flower arrangement for Kare n An¬ drade. Lace, ruffles, tuxedos, corsages—they all turn stu¬ dents into handsome Prom-goers.

Scholarships and grants are also awarded from various col¬ leges and universities. Throughout the course of the evening, members of the faculty presented awards to seniors for academic achievements in each department. Club sponsors recog¬ nized outstanding members and officers. Also on hand were representatives from the business community and the armed forces who presented special awards to worthy seniors. The Guidance Depart¬ ment served as representatives of various colleges and universities who presented scholarships and grants to our seniors who would soon be incoming freshmen. Dr. Luekens was master of ceremonies for an evening when seniors and their par¬ ents could be honored for their four years of hard work and achievement. The members of the Academic Decathlon are recog¬ nized by their sponsor, Mr. McQuiston. Honors Night 27 What’s ahead for them? As the Class of 1985 looks back and reflects upon the past four years, they will be filled with sad and happy memories. They earned an education and made friends who will last a lifetime. Whether each individual chooses to attend college, a trade school, or enter the work force, he will be looking for success. To honor the class, a Baccalaureate- Commencement ceremony was held on June 9. This date was later than usual be¬ cause seniors were required to finish school with the underclassmen. The Bac¬ calaureate program began with an invoca¬ tion given by the Reverend Sidney Tucker of the First Church of the Nazarene, and concluded with Monsignor Timothy Doody ' s speech, Dig In—Get a Toe- Hold on Life.” Seniors chosen to speak at Commence¬ ment were Jennifer Bielefeld, Susan Sykes, and Lori Mates. Dr. Luekens presided over the ceremony and presented the Class of 1985 to the parents, friends and faculty members who filled the gym. Diplomas were awarded by Mr. John Kuruzovich, Superintendent, and Mrs. Mary A. Hayden, secretary of the School Board. After a selection by the choir, the pro¬ gram was concluded with a benediction by Reverend Tucker. The Class of 1985 marched out to begin their new lives. j y Graduation After auditioning, Susan Sykes was chosen to present her speech at graduation. The topic of her speech was, The Student—A True Artist . The Honors Section of the senior class listens atten¬ tively to the words of their fellow classmates. Jenni Bielefeld encourages her fellow graduates to strive for the best with her speech, Sail On .

The dance would be a celebration of the end of the First semester. Due to scheduling conflicts, however, the dance didn ' t come off until January 19. It turned out to be a celebration at the end of Finals. Smokin’ ” Joe Dawson, from WBBM in Chicago, accepted the invitation to be the guest of honor and DJ for the evening. He also gave away T-shirts and albums to help students remember the night. Although January 19 turned out to be the coldest night of the year, the Multi- Purpose Room was Filled with dancers. Admission was open to all and the event attracted one of the biggest turnouts ever. After all, how often does a celebrity get to see a round school like ours?

Academics provide a basis for the fu¬ ture. By solving problems, writing papers, doing homework, and taking tests, stu¬ dents are challenged to learn. This year questions concerning home¬ work and testing were faced by faculty committees. The value of homework and the amount to assign to better prepare students academically was discussed. The topic of mandatory final exams and an exam schedule was also before a committee. An organized approach to ex¬ ams would ease student stress and also help build confidence in the student and his abilities. Although a student faces many chal¬ lenges during the year, success is possible. We all know. You CAN do it! Mrs. Cusic ' s English class recalls grammar skills while taking a test.

English is the center of all learning because without English, a student could not read or communicate. A student interested in one day attending college enrolls in College English while the theatrical student enrolls in drama and speech. Even the English student of average ability has a chance to succeed. The student is placed in a basic, intermediate or advanced phase so that his ability is utilized to its fullest poten¬ tial. Each class level covers the same material, the major difference being the different speeds at which the material is covered. six weeks ' grades with her freshmen students. English 39 Mathematics With the increasing demand for mathematical skills, the math department is constantly working to prepare students. Courses range from general math to advanced math topics, depending on a student’s ability. Incoming freshmen, for instance, can choose from three math courses—general math, pre-algebra and Algebra I. For the aspiring mathematicians, there are computer courses and advanced math courses available. Regardless of the course students choose, the math depart¬ ment supplements a strong academic core for the college-bound and the work-oriented student. Computer Programming students try out their programs and hope for a successful run-through. 40 Mathematic Mr. Hess usually finds himself sur¬ rounded by eager, interested math students.

Our department offers not only the required classes of U.S. history and government but there are also electives like world history, sociology, psychology and geography to choose from. The social studies classes make the academic circle complete and add to a student ' s full education by helping him cope with the future by learning about his past. Social Studies 43 Science Our science department offers a variety of classes ranging from earth science to human physiology. There are two major branches of science which a student pursues to complete his requirements—applied and physical sci¬ ence. For the future engineers, the department offers both chemistry and physics and for the future biologist, biology and botany are helpful. A strong science curriculum like ours is necessary for college admittance to help our students cope with an everchanging technological world. Mrs. Thurner checks over Scott Kiechle ' s chemistry lab report. A paper with no errors is a standard Ms. Nelson hopes for as she records typing grades. Business The goal of our business department is to prepare students for the business world. College-bound students can also prepare themselves better by mixing their college-preparatory courses with business classes. Typing is always helpful for all students, whatever their future goals. Shorthand, advanced typing, and advanced shorthand are valuable secretarial skills that are offered by the department. Classes such as accounting, office machines, data processing, business law, sales, and computer applications in business give a student more specialized business training. For the serious business student, intensive office lab marks the completion of the business curriculum. Whatever a student ' s post-high school plans are, the business department offers a suitable course. Industrial Arts Our Industrial Arts and Agriculture Deparments provide courses to meet the needs and interests of every student. A freshman begins the program with a survey course as an elective. This class provides him with the opportunity to broaden his awareness of the total shop curriculum. Drawing, graphic arts, electronics, and woods are options for the student who wants to continue. In the agriculture department, farm management, production, marketing, and business courses are available to students interest¬ ed in an agricultural career. AGRICULTURE-Mrs. 48 Industrial Arts Mrs. Long, choir director, discusses music with Jeff Kormendy and Michelle White. In addition to class work, Mrs. Lorig works with the Swing Choir and the Theatre Department. Music The band not only delights the ears with music, but it also entertains as well. By playing at football games, parades and Commencement, the band student learns the art of music through practices and actual performances. Although many hours are spent polishing and tuning the abilities of these active musicians, the hard work pays off when the crowds applaud their performances. The choir complements the music curriculum with the study of music ranging from the classical to the popular. Every singer has the chance to develop his voice. The many concerts and public performances allow the student to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Under the direction of Mrs. Lorig, the choir performs at their winter concert. ART DEPARTMENT—Mr. Terry Pratt and Mr. Tom Sufana Art Home Ec Many art classes are offered for the future artist. He can begin with basic art, a class designed to introduce different art forms and techniques. Next he can proceed to other specialized classes for skill like ceramics, design, painting and sculpture. Through intensive study, a student can learn how to crea te a masterpiece of his own to be proud of. Another elective area, Home Economics, provides a skill and knowledge of great use to a student after he leaves high school. Anyone, whether he wants to become a chef or not, needs to know how to cook. Cooking, however, is not the only area Home Economics has to offer. Classes such as Living on Your Own, Textiles and Clothing, Family Relations and Child Development help prepare a student to face an often uncertain future. With Home Ec offerings, the student can at least make intelligent choices about his own life. Art Home Ec Foreign Language — In the Foreign Language Department, students not only learn how to use the particular language, but they also learn about the culture in which the language is spoken. Through their text and workbook, Filmstrips and Field trips, students become immersed in all aspects of a foreign language. While either Spanish or French is recommended for the col¬ lege-bound student and many of our students have earned ad¬ vanced placement in college because of their language training here, the study of a foreign language is beneFicial to all.

Whether it ' s indecision about scheduling, questions about colleges and scholarships or personal problems, the guidance counselors are ready to offer their services to students and faculty. The counsel¬ ors not only programmed students into their classes but they also took charge of the SAT Preparation course and the registration for summer school. The library can be a student ' s salvation when doing school work if he makes use of the many resources the department has to offer. The books, newspapers, and reference materials can unlock the key to a puzzling research question. The Audio Visual Department provides several services for the school. Magazines, videotapes, televisions, and VCR ' s are avail¬ able for educational or recreational purposes. Library Guidance 57 ADMINISTRATION—ROW 1: Dr. Roger Luekens, Principal; Mr. Tom Johnson, Assistant Principal. ROW 2 : Mr. Bill Wornhoff, Dean of Students; Mr. Don Bales, Athletic Director Administration The job of the administrators is divided into four areas. Dr. Luekens oversees everyone and everything that affects the school in his job as principal. To share the responsibility is Mr. Johnson, who as assistant principal, supervises clubs and maintains a schedule of their activities. He also is in charge of the building and the custodial staff. Mr. Wornhoff works most closely with students in his role as Dean of Students. All matters of attendance and discipline are handled by him. Lastly, Mr. Bales, the Athletic Director, schedules sporting events and manages all athletics. Considering the number of athletic teams, their practice sessions and the games or meets they play in a season, it’s obvious Mr. Bales has a job that takes him well beyond the school day. These four men keep school running smoothly so the educa¬ tional process can benefit us all.

Vanderweikcn, Don Holt, Louis teen Corns, Margaret Thrall, Jan Talarek Meltzer Little things mean most, noticed least Students often take for granted the lit¬ tle things people do for them. For exam¬ ple, the cooks, custodians, bus drivers, secretaries and aides spend their time and much effort trying to make things run smoothly by doing the little extras we of¬ ten don ' t notice until they ' re not done. The cooks consistently prepare warm lunches, not to mention the doughnuts and salad bar they provide daily. The custodians make sure the school is clean, the garbage cans are emptied, the paper towel dispensers are full and the repairs to broken lockers, burnt out lights and damaged desks are done. The bus drivers make sure we get to and from school safely and promptly. The secretaries handle all office busi¬ ness, answer our questions and deal with students, teachers and administrators on a friendly and efficient basis. Without the aides, many teachers could not function on a day-to-day basis and study halls could not exist. Without these dedicated people to help us take care of business, the school would be a lonely and chaotic place. This year was Lowell ' s turn to be evalu¬ ated by a North Central team. In Novem¬ ber, the group visited the school, talking with staff and students and meeting with a steering committee composed of Mrs. Cu- sic, Mrs. Hardesty, Mr. Kalbac, Mr. Mills and Mr. Wornhoff. The committee praised us for having a good educational program taught by dedicated teachers. They also found the student body to be friendly and well-be¬ haved. Our weaknesses were nothing new to those familiar with the school. The team noted the lack of walls, the noise level and the pool as some areas needing attention. The team also cited student apathy and a lack of community involvement as prob¬ lems. The evaluation also included a list of recommendations, most of them suggest¬ ing committees be established to review the problems and weaknesses and find so¬ lutions. The North Central committee was not impressed with our open concept. They listed the noise level and the lack of walls as problem areas to be worked We’re put to the test. progress of their evaluation of the school. - 62 North Central Curtis Goot concentrates on a math problem during one of the SAT preparation sessions. from Academics Be a part of it! Sports are a means of recreation and relaxation. Dedication and determination are factors which make a successful ath¬ lete. In these ways, sports are open to all students as an opportunity for getting in¬ volved. There are a variety of sports each sea¬ son which students can choose from. For the athlete who enjoys playing as part of a team, there is basketball, baseball, football and volleyball. If he prefers individual competition for personal satisfaction from wins, there is cross country, golf, gymnastics, wrestling, swimming, track and tennis. Regardless of the sport he chooses, the athlete benefits. He learns discipline, obe¬ dience, and sportsmanship, all lessons which carry over into any life situations. With each victory or game well-played, there is a sense of pride in that success. The trophies, the recognition or the per¬ sonal satisfaction gained make all the hard work and sweat worthwhile. wnAi ' 5 YUUf The best game was our first against Rensselaer. We hung on for the win and broke our losing streak. Terry Harmston Injuries, defense stall wins The Varsity Football Team began the season with two victories which not only broke their losing streak, but also heightened the team ' s spirits. It showed them that with determination and practice, they could defeat good teams. While the team’s offensive line was impressive, the defensive backs needed more work. The never give up attitude helped them to work as a team and develop discipline. Captain Kevin McCarthy thought the team ' s weakest area was its inability to stay healthy. With the numerous injuries, many key starters missed important games, said Kevin. Terry Harmston, co-captain, held an opposing view, citing defense as the team ' s problem. I was really disappointed when we didn’t get defense up before and during games,” he said. Everyone did agree, however, that the off-season program of conditioning and training was a big help in building strength and aggressiveness. 68 Varsity Football VARSITY FOOTBALL-ROW ltjackson Fleener, Corey Wed¬ ding, Rob Harmston, Adam Tauber, Alan Head, Eric Livingson, Randy Maas,Jim Fetsch, Hugh Hutton, BobJanik,James Palikan ROW 2: John Crane, Dave Heath, Mike Highsmith.John Fiene, Rob Harris, Brian Tucker, Eric Wornhoff, Eric Miller, Tim McCormick, Jim Billard, Jack Belt, Kevin McCarthy, Trainers Jenni Bielefeld and Missy Richards ROW ): Coach Greg Whi- tacre, Coach Jules Chopp, Coach Joe Lorig, Coach Brad Stewart, Coach Jim Kiechle, Eugene Bly.Tonye Kirchenstien.Jim Pickett, Terry Harmston, Lou Frigo, Kirk Redman, George Blissett, Rolf Alexis, John Valles, Aaron Scherck, Mike Spicer, Mike Ham- mersley, Ted Fetsch, Managers Cindi Harris, Dawn Everett, A Lowell tackle brings down a Crown Point player and the ball.

Their poor record was due to their inexperi¬ ence. The team began its season with a loss to Calumet. Practice seemed to be their key to overcoming an opening season defeat for they came back to defeat Andrean, 6-0. However, after this victory, all of their weaknesses seem to get the better of them for they suffered consecutive losses after that. The Junior Varsity Football Team also suffered a disappointing season with a record of 1-3. Their problem, however, was not as much with the team and their performances as with the weather. Their season had to be cut short after four games. Their last four match-ups had to be cancelled. 70 JV Freshman Football FRESHMAN FOOTBALL—ROW 1: Chris Omen, Dave Rich¬ ardson, Tony Rokosz, Ryan Nestor, Ron Myers, Brett Leonard, Jeff Gross, Phillip Rothrock, Casey Wedding, Mike Smolek.

Denise Wleklinski was elected to the All-Conference second team and she was also chosen as the team ' s best offensive player. Michelle Baker received an honorable mention on the All-Conference team.

Numbers can be deceiving Thirteen was the Boys’ Swim Team’s lucky num¬ ber. The 13 swimmers worked together this year for a common goal—a winning team spirit. Although they really did not have a winning season, they proved that a small team can sometimes work better than a large one. Their advantage was togetherness. Coach Bader said, I enjoyed working with these people but would like more to swim (next year).’’ The Girls’ Swim Team had a bigger turnout with 23 members but their season record of 5-13 was similar to the boys’. Nevertheless, Coach Bader felt the support he received was a bonus. I enjoyed working with the girls and being coach. I feel I got good help from all people throughout the school system.” Team members felt Sectionals was the best meet. Each one of the girls swam her best time. Senior Sheila Zukley credited the many hours of practice as her biggest help. At meets, her greatest encouragement came from the sidelines. Having my parents and fans watch me dive at the meets really helped me strive for my goals, she said.

Our team didn’t have the talent or facilities to match most of the schools we played.” The season wasn’t all disappointment. There was one highlight for the team; their win against River Forest stirred excitement since it was a three-setter lasting until 8:00 P.M. The Girls ' Tennis Team had a record much like the Boys’, yet their losses don’t reflect how close several of the matches were. While the boys were shut out in their losses, the girls lost several matches by only one set. Outstanding players were Jennifer Kelby at sin¬ gles, and Wendy Hutton and Shelley Paquette at doubles.

Despite that, they drew large crowds and fan support throughout the season and especially at Sectionals. With wins against Rennselaer and Hebron, the Red Devils went into the final game of the Sectionals against KV mentally and physically ready. Behind them was more support from the stands than they had seen in many years. The fans were rewarded with an excit¬ ing game which had to go into overtime before KV could pull out a win, 64-59. The team struggled with its share of injuries. Several of the team ' s starters. Cash, Kirchenstien, and Spencer, suffered injuries throughout the sea¬ son which cost the team several games. This was one of the most exciting sea¬ sons ever. There were so many games that went overtime.

The Girls ' Track Team could have probably given the boys a run for their money with the placing of two runners in the Regional roster. They condition, they practice, they fiercely compete. They ' re girls and their sports program is not just a sideline to the boys ' but a real contender for athletic achievement. While fans overflowed KV ' s gym during the boys ' basketball Sectionals, the Varsity Girls ' Basketball Team was holding its own with a 5-9 season record. Likewise in swimming, both teams finished with similar re¬ cords and more losses than wins as a team. Yet, in both cases, the scores don ' t show an individual’s effort to better his her time and achieve personal goals. Even into spring sports, the Girls ' Track Team kept pace with the boys. The Boys ' Track Team placed first in the Lowell Relays and sent senior Tod Wilkerson on to State in the high hump. The girls sent freshman Miki Morrow and sophomore Trish Feddeler on to Regionals. Tennis was a different story. The girls’ season record shows them with more losses than wins, but the record doesn ' t show that they lost close matches by one set in many cases. They advanced three players on to Regionals. On the other hand, the boys were often shutout and went no further than Sectionals. Girls ' sports are young but growing. Girls are even competing on some of the boys ' teams like golf and cross country. They ' re here to stay on the athletic fields of competition. What ' s next? Maybe a lady wrestler? May the best PERSON win! Team spirit eases changes Our Rensse¬ laer game was probably our best game. We were able to keep our composure and play with confi¬ dence. This was a close game we won in the last second.” Coach Steve Schwanke This year was our biggest turnout. We ended the season with 30 players and were able to field a freshman team,” said Steve Schwanke, varsity coach. The Varsity Team was a young one, composed of all juniors. There was also a new coach. As a result, the girls were subject to changes in philosophy and game strategies. But the girls had strong wills to win and positive attitudes. This combination took them to a win in the first game of Sectionals. Missy Richards said, The support we did not receive during the season really hurt us. Yet, we did not quit. We never gave up and the result was out first Sectional win. With a year of working together and working out all the problems a first year can bring, the team and its coach count on more successes. We have our entire team returning next year. We have a lot of potential to have a winning season, said Denise Wleklinski. 4 88 Girls’ Varsity Basketball GD FDR IT!!

Coach Kathy Nelson JV does its best possible Some of the girls had never played basketball before and that made it difficult to compete at the JV level, said Coach Kathy Nelson of the Junior Varsity Girls ' Basketball Team. Nevertheless, the girls made the best out of the season by improving with every game. The desire of the girls to improve helped them and Coach Nelson put the best prepared team possible on the floor each game. The team ' s strong area was its forward play and the fact that the team had height only added to this advantage. The guard plays, however, needed im¬ provement against opposing presses.

To overcome this weakness, the boys had to work harder in the classes which were filled. They conditioned before the season began by running, lifting weights, swimming and competing against one another. Since varsity sports were chosen on the basis of these challenge matches, the boys had to work hard one-on-one. Yet, it ' s this individual work which drives most boys to the sport. Seniorjoe Stoller said, I like the individual com¬ petition and the feeling of winning on your own. While individual growth and achievement can come to a wrestler, the team agreed that Coach Cameron was a strong influence on their team with his constant encouragement.

During pre-season training, the girls practiced stretches, built stamina and concentrated on bal¬ ance and strength. Practice built them up physically to match their mental attitude. This combination took them to the Lake Subur¬ ban Conference and a second in optionals and a third overall. During the season, they excelled in floor exercise and vaulting. Injuries on and off throughout the season and a weakness on the uneven parallel bars were the only obstacles the girls faced, yet they overcame them to go on to a successful season. 94 Gymnastics Challa Brown performs her routine on the balance beam.

He felt the boys who played summer baseball had the chance of doing well when the Varsity Baseball season began. The team got into a losing slump at the begin¬ ning of the season, and morale remained low. Pitch¬ ing was the team ' s strongest area but hitting was weak and this cost them quite a few games. Crown Point, a tough competitor, didn ' t help and seemed to be the team ' s biggest obstacle to over¬ come this year. We should have gotten things together before conference games came around, said Don Wisch, senior. The best game of the season came against High¬ land. This was the team’s first conference win. Doug Langen said, We hung in there and won it in the last inning. I wish the sen¬ iors good luck and I ' m already looking forward to next season Coach Pete Iussig Varsity Baseball 97 F_t - Lowell ' s John Seberger pitches a fast ball to the battet.

We showed improvement at times but not as much as I had hoped for,” said JV Baseball coach, Kent Hess. Only winning two games reflected the team’s weak areas of fielding and hitting. However, the win against Calumet was a real morale booster for the team. Here they began to show some competitive spirit and play together as a team. Hess said, It was a well-played game both offen¬ sively and defensively. (The team showed) good hustle. The freshmen used their season to build skills and teamwork. Their winning the last game of the season against Griffith, who had beaten them earli¬ er, may signal bigger things for them in the years to come.

The Girls ' Track Team had to push hard to beat the stiff competition. If everyone did not contribute 110% at every meet and practice, we couldn ' t do it,” said sopho¬ more Mary Ann Slinn. By setting goals for personal bests at the begin¬ ning of the season, they had something to work for. At the same time they are working on individual records, the runners must also remember they are part of a team. Said Slinn, The biggest help in achieving my goals this year was the help from the other team¬ mates. They showed me what I ' m supposed to do to reach my goals.” There was a special highlight for the team ac¬ cording to Denise Wleklinski.

As sponsors of the Christmas Dance, sophomores made and served refreshments to their guests. What’s in a club for you? A chance to serve When something needs to be done, there is al¬ ways a club or organization to take charge. Whether it’s tutoring, sponsoring a dance or sell¬ ing school supplies from the bookstore, clubs pro¬ vide a service to the school and the community. While these service clubs do involve themselves in projects to earn money, it is the people they contact and serve who receive the most benefits. Involved in such service activities this year were organizations like National Honor Society who vol¬ unteered to tutor students in academic subjects and OEA who daily provides the paper, pens, pencils and other necessities for success in school. Of course, there are the organizations like FEA and Sunshine Club whose whole reason for existing is to do service for others. Each year, FEA can be count¬ ed on to provide a breakfast for the teachers in appreciation for their efforts. And Sunshine Club is responsible for spreading cheer in the school and in the community. Clubs perform a great service to the school. Many activities and special events are due to their work and dedication. Even though they sometimes don’t receive the recognition they deserve, they have learned it’s better to give than to receive. 114 Clubs Shannon Joyce waits for the right moment to do her job as photographer for the yearbook and newspaper staffs. Both publi¬ cations serve the school and the community by letting them know what ' s news at Lowell. It ' s service with a smile as Kelly Mathias, Regina Searle and Dawn Everett greet Mr. McQuiston at the FEA Teacher Break¬ fast. Michelle Maylath sells doughnuts before school on Fridays as her service to the Volleyball Team. Clubs 115 Computer club members can have fun and games while still learning a valuable skill for a computerized world. Todd Holm prepares to spray paint a part of his woods project. The skill of carpentry can always be used in later life. VICA members get hands-on-training by repairing cars for the staff and the corporation. Many of the members continue their training in technical schools. Along with vocational courses which prepare stu¬ dents for careers immediately after high school, there are career-oriented clubs which intensify a student ' s chance to polish his skills. If a student wants to further learn the in’s and out’s of his future career choice, these clubs can help. Whether he wants to be a secretary, a mechan¬ ic, a farmer or a military officer, there is an extra¬ curricular organization to meet his needs and inter- Clubs like OEA, ROTC, VICA, FEA or FFA accomplish two goals. They help their members develop skills in a particular field and at the same time let students share their interests and ideas with others. As an added benefit, in all probability, he will also have fun while learning. ROTC cadets practice drills before they present the colors at a home basketball game. Exposure to the military encourages many of them to enter the armed forces. While a typing class prepares students with a useful skill, OEA membership gives students a chance to use that skill immediately in contests. What’s in a club for you? A job, a career, a trade 4 Clubs 117 The plane constructed by ROTC cadets was on display in the East Commons several times througho ut the year. The plane was later test flown and sold. ml 1 Members of Sunshine Club rocked all night to earn money for a scholarship fund. Sponsors had pledged money which would be collected after the event. The buffet was hand-made by one of the Industrial Ed. Club students. It was on display at school and at Southlake Mall during an Industrial Arcs exhibition. 1 . ' Varied projects break routine Several clubs and organizations were involved in special projects this year which marked a refreshing change. The Sunshine Club again held a Hupp-a-Thon” to raise money for a scholarship to be awarded at the end of the year to a deserving senior member. Several ROTC cadets spent their summer build¬ ing an airplane to be sold later. The glider was tested by a licensed pilot before it was sold to a company. The annual Blood Drive for the Red Cross was again sponsored by the Student Council. This year, they surpassed all records with a total draw of 156 productive pints of blood. Theatre Arts was invited to attend the Interna¬ tional Drama Festival at Ball State University in the summer. They were chosen to present cuts from the play, GLIMPSES. Industrial Ed. students and members of the In¬ dustrial Ed. Club continued to put out first-rate projects. From their traditional first-place Home¬ coming float to their woodcrafts, which were on display at Southlake Mall, the members put forth special effort and talent. Clubs do more than sell candy and elect officers. The special projects undertaken by our clubs proved that. Cast and crew members of GLIMPSES were again called on to prepare the show for presentation at the International Drama Festival in Muncie this summer. Despite Carla Shipley ' s anxiety over giving blood, the Blood Drive was an overwhelming success. Clubs 119 New National Honor Society members ate inducted into the national membership in a candlelight ceremony. ROTC posts the colors before a basketball game. Their affili¬ ation with a larger group could earn them a promising career in the future. What’s in a club for you? Being part of a whole Many of the clubs here at Lowell did not origi¬ nate here. They are affiliated with a larger national group who sets rules and regulations. While it may seem like the club does not really control its activities, such a tie is really beneficial to club members. Those clubs who compete in contests face tough competition. Therefore, winning is quite an accom¬ plishment on any level—district, state or national— since club members now are matched against all kinds of people and talents. Since so many other schools in Indiana and throughout the United States are involved in the same clubs as at Lowell, club members have the opportunity to meet many interesting people and share ideas. In many cases, long-lasting friendships develop. Clubs like OEA, Theatre Arts, Sunshine Club and National Honor Society have a chance to offer many varied and far-reaching experiences to their members. 120 Clubs Clubs 121 New squad lifts spirits This was a year of changes for the cheerleaders. First, they could no longer plan pep sessions for the student body during the school day because of new state guidelines concerning the number of hours a student is to spend in class. As a result, the tradition¬ al Homecoming pep session was held on the same night as the bonfire and Powder Puff game during Spirit Week. The basketball Sectional’s pep session was held in the Multi-Purpose Room on the night of the first Sectional game before the fan bus left for KV. Another change was the addition of a fourth cheering squad—a male squad. The boys assisted the girls during the basketball season. With their strength and spirit, the girls were able to try more difficult pyramids and mounts. The boys also devel¬ oped their own routines, such as using their bodies to spell out Lowell” on the gym floor during half¬ time. They did much in boosting fan support during the season.

The many types of individuals and their varied backgrounds enhance the student body and create a more lively atmosphere in which to work and play. What really is Lowell High School? YOU are the answer! Lowell High School is composed of many types of individuals with varying interests and personalities. These individuals get involved in activi¬ ties ranging from sports to theatre to the straight academics. These individuals also have separate goals in life and many decisions to make Unity comes in last year The class of 1985’s projects were suc¬ cessful due to cooperation and extensive involvement,” said Rolf Alexis, class vice- president. Some of their projects were t he sale of key chains, painter ' s caps and senior jer¬ seys with the names of all of the members of the senior class printed on them. The money earned from these fund-raisers helped finance the Senior Banquet. The officers characterized their class as a closely-knit group which helped activi¬ ties run smoothly. Rolf Alexis said, (There was) a feeling of unity that tied all the seniors closer this year.” Similarly, Paul Bakker, class president, felt the same about the class’ relationship with one another. We don ' t have our own little groups. Just about everyone gets along.

The class has been noted for its suc¬ cessful fund-raisers and their candy sale in the fall was no exception. The Sadie Haw¬ kins Dance, traditionally sponsored by the juniors, was their final attempt to raise money for the big dance of their high school career. Planning Prom brought our class clos¬ er. It taught us how to work together and accomplish what we set out to do,” said Wendy Hutton, class president.

This year was no different. As a result, they were successful in their activi¬ ties. The Christmas Dance was no one per¬ son ' s accomplishment. It was an effort of the entire sophomore class and a success,” said Michelle Martin, class Secretary Treasurer. In preparation for hosting next year ' s Prom, the class held several fund-raisers, including candy sales and the sale of Christmas ribbons, a new project. The sophomores also used theatre productions as an opportunity to sell refreshments and raise money.

Many freshmen got involved in school activities. Here Fred Kroll helps out at the bonfire during Spirit Week. With her freshman year behind her, Stephanie Fox looks forward with high hopes to three more years of high school. Class lays foundation for future The first year of any activity or group is usually a building one. The freshmen used their first year of high school to build a feeling of unity and cooperation. Eric Anderson, class president, saw his job as builder, What I have mainly done is try to lay a strong foundation on which to build bigger and better things. The class was involved in several fund raisers and took their place with the upper¬ classmen in major school events such as Homecoming. The first year of high school is a hard one trying to adjust to so many new events and ideas. What has been most disappointing is not being able to get more done in a year. I wish I could do everything I wanted to do to benefit the class, said Eric. Nevertheless, Eric sees big things for the class of 1988. I do believe that each progressive year at Lowell High School, the class will strengthen and take hold!” From the extra-curricular activities available, John Ruley chose to spend his free time becoming involved in the theatre and choir.

Parting Shots 221 DEDICATION As first-time editors, we started the year with many new plans. Due to financial difficulties, our ideas were limited. We hoped to create something spectacular to stir up interest in the student body. We wanted it to be different from anything you have ever seen. We feel we have suc¬ ceeded. The 1985 Lowellian took lots of hard work and long hours to complete. There are several people who deserve much thanks. Ms. Carey, without your dedication and guidance, we could not have reached all our goals. You have been a good teacher as well as a friend. We will never forget you. You have made our job as editors easier. One dedicated staff member, Kim Pat- chett, deserves a big thank you. We appre¬ ciate your sticking it out the whole year and into the summer, Kim. Special thanks go to: Ms. Nemeth for the use of her typewriters; Mr. Sufana for his artistic skill on the cover; Mr. John Giolas for his photography skill; Marlene at the Lowell Tribune for her help with our photography; George Kingsley, our Herff Jones representative, for his help and advice; administrators, club sponsors, coaches and staff who helped us by pro¬ viding information and news tips; Mrs. Sampson, Mrs. Kasparian and Mrs. Tilton for providing us with needed information and answers to our questions; and Mr Wornhoff for his Rolodex. We want to thank our parents for their patience during the many times we were working at school rather than at home for dinner. Most of all, thank you, Jul. Withoul your help, dedication and writing ability this book would never have been finished Kel, thanks for all your help and sup port. I know I’d never have been able to stick it out all year without you. We hope you, the student body, enjoy the changes in this book. You are what makes Lowell High School special. That is why we wanted to show just exactly WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU!
