Lowell fans show their enthusi¬ asm during one of the Sectional games. Lowell had a reason to cheer since we came closest this year to our first Sectional Cham¬ pionship since 1968. Concentration is written all over the face of Chris Jusevitch as he prepares to shoot a free throw dur¬ ing Sectionals. To liven up the pep session be¬ fore Sectionals, the administra¬ tors (Dr. Luekens included) dressed in jams and gym-shoes and led cheers with the cheer¬ leaders. 24 Sectionals

Whether fine art or just a nocturnal nuisance, it’s here to stay. T oilet paper. Most people flush it down their toilets. Others pull it down from their trees! Throwing toilet paper onto the trees of unwary victims—other¬ wise known as tp-ing—has become a popular nighttime activity. In a poll done at LHS, 47 percent of the student body had been tp-ed and the overwhelming majority of them knew exactly who the culprits were. Also. 77 percent of LHS stu¬ dents have participated in this noc¬ turnal ritual themselves. The brand of choice turned out to be a tie between Charmin and the cheapest stuff.” While most teens find tp-ing fun, some don’t, such as one teacher who had this opinion, It is only fun¬ ny once; after that, it is a royal pain. Toilet paper should not be sold to anyone under the age of 18.” Officer Jerry Stout commented, “We wish it wo uld stop; we have been receiving a lot of calls about it. Even though some don’t care, some do get upset.” Also revealed was the fact that the tp-er is relatively safe as long as he sticks to toilet paper. Unless he does actual damage, such as using eggs or shaving cream, tp-ing is al¬ most unpunishable—except they will make you clean it up. The prevailing feeling is that tp- ing is here to stay, for as one stu¬ dent proclaimed, “As long as there is nothing to do in Lowell, tp-ing will continue to grow.” Only time and Mr. Whipple will tell.

S ectional Strife Even the wildest pep session to date couldn’t mend the heartbreaker B ad things usually come in three ' s, but during the Sec¬ tional championship game this year, the bad things came in two’s. That is—two heartbreaking points that took the 1987 Sectional title out of the grasping hands of Lowell, and gave it to Kouts. From the tip-off in the Renssalaer game to the final buzzer in the Kouts game, the Lowell Varsity adamantly fought back. Coach Leonard, said, “The boys struggled and worked hard to be competitive in Sectionals.” If the boys caused a stir this year at the Kankakee Valley Sectional, just think what will happen next year. “The future looks promising,” said junior Ross Cusic. That is definitely true, and for many reasons. First of all, the team boasts a Sectional First Team player, sophomore sensation, Chris Ju- sevitch. Also, along with the six Varsity veterans who will be back next year, the strong JV and Freshman Teams have produced players who will be able to use their talents on the Varsity next year. Taking all this into consider¬ ation, it is more than likely that Lowell should be able to avenge that Sectional loss, especially since these young players are hungry to compete.
