JOHN HEILBRON BARBARA EPP President Vice President i JOE HARE WALTER LIGHTNER Secretary Treasurer mica 'a-M65 This Spring John Heilbron was elected presi- dent of the H-4 class. John is on the Scroll, an ROTC officer, and is in the Forensic Society, Bobby Epp was chosen as the vice-prexy. Bobby is well known throughout the school for she has been on the rally and dance committees since she started to Lowell. The secretarial spot was won by popular Joe Hare. Joe came to us from St. Ignatius and while here has participated in track and soccer. Walt Lightner, a happy-go-luck kid, was elected class treasurer, and he made a good one. Walt is on the Scroll, Block L Society, and is the Assistant Yell Leader of our school. The High Senior Activities Committee for the Spring of '5l had many gala occasions for which to plan. First on last term's list off Senior activities came the Senior Exclusive titled, lt Happens Every Spring. The couples danced and had a wonderful time dancing in the dark to the if-ii. music of Bob Emerson. lt was held April 7, in the students' lounge at City College. Next came the Senior Picnic at Fairfax, May I6. All the kids donned their old clothes, boarded the buses and took off for a day of relaxation. At the Country Club they ate, danced, played baseball and basketball, swam, or just sat and sopped up the sun. All will agree that the picnic was a gigantic success. Senior Day was the next red letter day. On June 8 the kids put on their weird costumes, roller skated, and played and goofed off all day on the reservation. Then to wind up their four years at Lowell came their graduation at the Opera House, June I3, and the tremendqus Senior Prom June l4, the day after graduation at the St. Francis Hotel. The wonderful Prom ended another group of students' activities here on the Hayes Reserva- tion. we 1 i SENIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE FRONT ROW: CL to Rl -S. Wolfe, D. Paradis, B. Epp, J, Hare, V.

ti. ,I X- if SUE McDONNELL Vice President GORDON REED President PATSY SPEER Girls' Yell Leader RAY PERKINS Yell Leader I I eaezaalcm This spring Gordon Reed was elected student body president. Gordy, as he is better known, has participated in many school activities since he first entered Lowell. Gordy has played both 30's and Varsity basketball, and has now reached the highest position among his fellow Lowellites - their president. In the office of vice-president pretty and soft spoken Sue McDonald was chosen from a field of excellent and attractive girls. Sue is on the Shield and the Big Sisters. Her person- ality is well known throughout school circles. George Swanson, a boy with unlimited talent, was elected to the all-important job of treasurer of the student body. George is on the Scroll, the Big Brothers, and played Varsity football. He tried for the office twice before and made the grade on his third trip. That takes courage - to keep trying until you've succeeded. The secretarial office vacated by yast term's officer was filled by the Lowell artist, Bill Remensperger, who proved to have all the qualities of an excellent secretary. He also played the center spot on the football tearn. PAT KING Editor of the Lowell ABSENT BILL REMENSPERGER Secretary GEORGE SWANSON Treasurer SHIRLEY McVEY Editor of Red 81 White - ' '57 The post that takes loads of energy, that of Chief Yell Leader, was won by trackman Ray Perkins, who is known throughout the school, inasmuch as he is the one seen most at the rallies and games. Taking the place of cafeteria manager in this term's elections was that of Girls' Yell Leader. Patsy Speer, a smart and energetic girl, won the spot. Patsy proved to have all the qualities and energy of a great yell leader. The post of Red and White editor is a vital one. Shirley McVey won the position. Under Shirley's leadership the book, in our opinion, turned out to be a good one. Pat King, a girl of unlimited talents, who is on the Shield and Big Sisters, was elected to the post of editor of the Lowell. She proved to be a good editor as we know from the past term's papers. Credit should also be given to the two as- sistant yell leaders who lost the election to Ray Perkins, for they did a slam-bang job - Walt Lightner and Barry Gilbert.
