Excess ve N0,Se p r c0 f i f Lowell High School had its own personal pocket dictio¬ nary, the word monotony” would not even be in it. Instead, definitions for “creativity” would overflow the pages, since students were always risking a chance to be different in the activities they chose to sponsor. The student body seemed to wake up” this year, and almost everyone involved himself in activities that interested him. While there was the usual schedule of dances, both formal and informal, there were also new events to entertain all tastes. For the athletically minded, there were pep sessions and exciting games and meets. Attendance at athletic events soared to new heights this year, thanks to the promotion given by pep sessions and the commu¬ nity. The junior class turned a routine school day into an interesting seven hours with the first-ever Slave Day. Students participating as slaves were seen doing everything from singing “Happy Birthday” to hopping on one foot while balancing a lunch tray with one hand. Creativ ity, cooperation and enthusiasm marked this event. “The Slave Sale was different for a change,” said junior Tina Derr. “It was a very creative idea.” Also different was the selection done for the Fall Play. Instead of the usual drama, thespians acted out a comedy, FATHER OF THE BRIDE, for the start of their season. Regardless of the activity students chose to participate in, students seemed to cruise through” the year, finding ways to empty the school days of boredom and fill them with innovative ideas. Student Council president, Vicki Hall, best summed up student life this year when she said, “There was a lot more chance to be active this year and the attitudes were also better.”
