Parker Business Manager 1 ce iss Nina Lee Hickman | 2 oe i ae Adviser FOREWORD BECAUSE we are the twenty-fifth staff of the Low- acadian, we have tried to make an extraordinary book. We have instituted new ideas, carried on old customs and worked hard and long to make this book worthy of the Lowacadian’s traditions. We hope that this Lowacadian will bring you many hours of happy reminiscences. Mr. Askin, better known as the “John Philip Sousa of the North” has been with us for 27 years. During this time he has given us one of our cherished traditions, our school band. Under Mr. Askin our band has flourished, gaining for itself and Mr. Askin a reputation unequaled by any other high school band. Thank you for your unselfish efforts, Mr. Askin. DEDICATION WE wiIsH to dedicate this Lowacadian to two of the most respected and beloved men of Lowville Academy, Mr. Luther B. Askin and Mr. Walter O’Connell. Mr. O’Connell, whom we call “‘Connie,”’ has a record of 33 years service in Low- ville Academy. He has set for hundreds of boys and girls, by his own life, an example of clean, American living. He has by his constant leadership, instilled in all who have known him, respect for the phrases “‘good sportsmanship,” and “do your best.”? Without you, Connie, sports at LACS would lose much of their zest and spirit. We thank you for your capable guidance. PODOD XO XNA SITs eGvTT oer oo nT Tr eSUNRSDC eDeceneeeeCTeeee pS Mr. Leon A.

PARTY TIME YM w is TIP STAIN “A THE Dele oie OFFICERS Martin Donahoe.............President ECO yee ke Ln 1 ee Vice-President Betty Garnham..............Secretary Edward Louis............... Treasurer During our first year in high school we trusted our executive responsibilities to President Jack Nortz, Vice-President Larry Marshall, Secretary Nancy Back and Treasurer Bill Easton. We chose Mrs. Hazel Porter and Mr. Walter Keen to guide us. In the spring we gave a dance for the juniors (free of charge of course, bless our generous little hearts). When we weren’t busy with activities, we were taking up our time by bowing to the overbearing seniors or ducking their reprimanding blows. We disrupted tradition and had our Sophomore Sweetheart Ball in May instead of in February. We came up with the original idea of having a baked ham supper, which was very profitable. We again elected Jack Nortz as president because of his fine leadership during our Freshman year. To assist him we re-elected our vice-president and secretary and chose Bev- erly Duflo to keep our finances straight. The whole class be- came better acquainted with each other and with the rest of the high school but we still didn’t get too familiar with the awe inspiring seniors (except, of course, for those certain members of our class who were going with seniors). The de- merit system was established and we got more than our share of them. Of course, some said we deserved them and well, ADVISORS Mrs. Kenneth E. Ford Mrs. Hazel M. Porter Walter S. Keen Kenneth E. Ford maybe we did. Just to show that we were quite uninhibited, some of our boys bleached their hair blond and then dyed it green. The year closed serenely and we felt that we had ac- complished quite a bit. We entered our junior year with an impatient feeling of wanting to get on to our senior year, but ending it with the feeling of wanting to start it over because we began to realize that we had only one more year of high school and we were beginning to kind of like it here. We elected Roy Kaufmann as chief executive and Gail Bush as his assistant. Betty Garn- ham was elected secretary and Ed Louis was elected treasurer. We added Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Ford to our staff of advisors. In the spring we presented the play “The Perfect Idiot,”’ directed by Miss Genevieve Smithling. During Easter vaca- tion we had the traditional Junior Prom. Our Senior year opened with a feeling of bustling activity and continued that way to the very end. We presented the play, “Belles on Their Toes,” directed by Miss Smithling. Our Christmas Formal, on the Monday after Christmas, went over great. We presented a stupendous musical, instead of Class Night. Thus ended our high school career. NATALIE BABEL...

Ati The juniors commenced their third year in high school full of pep, enthusiasm and school spirit. To start the “ball roll- ing’ the juniors sponsored the Junior- Frosh Dance, welcoming the freshmen into high school. To prove all of their hidden talent, the juniors presented a play which was a smashing hit. The highlight of the year came during Easter vacation, when the class sponsored the Junior Prom. A gay spring theme was used to decorate the gym for this festivity. As the year came to a close, the juniors looking back on three memorable years in high school, vowed to make t heir senior year the best.

We attend. We are Sophomores. We spend our time in classes. Our present assignment, to make a success of our sec- ond year in High School. We have been working the night shift on homework. This is just routine. Other than our regular classes, we take part in all school activities such as music, athletics, literary and social functions. We sent out an A.P.B. and with the able assistance of Sergeants Smithling and Thomas, we planned ways of earning money. Throughout the year these plans were carried out. Our methods of completing this task were primarily bake sales and dances. February 27, 1954, after much arduous labor- ing we upheld the annual tradition of holding the Sophomore Sweetheart Ball. This required the co-operation of the entire membership of our class. Numerous other projects of the same and varied natures were planned for the participation of the class and the accomplishment of our goal. On June, 1954 a trial was held in L.A.C.S. in and for the Central District of Lowville. Next | year, the results of that trial. Our apologies to Sergeant Joe Friday.

We soon overcame this sur- prise. To raise money, a tea dance was sponsored aft- er the I.H.A. football game. This was a success. With the coming of December we gave an assem- bly for the rest of the high school. We were happy with all the enthusiasm we received. As June approaches, each of us is looking for- ward to a happy summer and that day next Sep- tember when we will become Sophomores.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Scholarship, leadership, service and character form their reward in every school when, in June, the new members of the National Honor Society are announced. This year five new members were added. Desiring to serve the school, we performed the service of taking attendance. We also handed out pocket size basketball and wrestling schedules. The principal activity of the N.H.S. has always been the publishing of the Torch. Our first issue came out just before Thanksgiving. Being new at publishing we re- lied heavily upon our predecessors’ style and organization. By the time that our second issue came out at Easter time, however, we were experienced enough to try something new. Our “new style” Torch had, as new features, cartoons, a theme and much more literary work. Two of our members took the National Honor Society Scholarship examination in April. 40 ieder Nancy Jo Schl Jane Effley = s a S nl S o | re) o 2 SS aS The Champions ot Justice Row 1: John Roy, Rose Countryman, Jean Gallup, Winifred Virkler, Sophie Kren- ceski, Joanne Winters.

STUDENT COUNCIL Our Student Council, consisting of two repre- sentatives from each home room, met on Friday mornings. This democratic group was headed by Frederick Parker, with Miss Young, social studies teacher, advisor. This year the Student Council had the full re- sponsibility of the March of Dimes Campaign. The group collected the sum of $580.47, which is higher than most years. In addition to money making campaigns, the Student Council had many successful assemblies. 42 Each class presented its own assembly with the students making up the cast. There were also four paid assemblies. These consisted of a lecturer on wild animals, magicians, a champion archer and a reader of Dickens. The other activities of the Student Council were equally successful. The representatives held discussions in their home rooms on how to improve the school. Many of the members acted as guides for parents’ night. Row 1: Barbara Guepe, Lawson Kilburn, Richard Gordon, Henry Schaab, Stephen Meda.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais (known to most English speaking people as. French Club) started a suc- cessful year by electing Nancy Back, president; Linda Bush, vice-president and Ann Bush, secre- tary-treasurer. Nancy Schlieder was elected chair- man of the entertainment committee with Bar- bara Guepe, Steve Meda and Bill O’Hare as help- ers. Johanna Burkhard and John Parker were in charge of finding a place for the meetings which 43 were held every month at the homes of the mem- bers. The most cherished memory is the presentation of “Little Red Riding Hood” in French starring Steve Meda, Nancy Schlieder, Bill O’Hare and Johanna Burkhard. We enjoyed playing French games and singing French songs but most of all we enjoyed the refreshments. fa o i w oe © £2 Noon Whistle Reorganizes; % 2 — Delles Selected As Editor Row 1: Juliann Steiner, Marcia Souva, Betty Roggie, Sandra Howley, Ann Young, Loretta Robertson, Barbara Guepe, Miss Elizabeth Sacco (advisor), Johanna Delles, Korleen Biche, Katherine V.

The 25th anniversary of the yearbook proved to be an unusual year for the F.F.A. The boys allowed two girls, Rose Powlin and Cecilia Leviker, among their midst. Con- gratulations, girls! The future farmers had their annual magazine drive in the fall to raise enough money to carry them through the year. In the fall, Don Roggie, Raymond Robbins and Gary Lehman represented the Lowville Judging Team in the annual contest at Canton. They took first place. Don Roggie was the highest boy in all events and Raymond Robbins took second place. All Northern New York schools were represented in this contest. The Lowville Chapter took second place in Dairy Judging County Con- test at the Lewis County Fair. They also took second place, among seven counties, in the Milk Quality Contest. Gary Lehman won first prize in the Lewis County F.F.A. Speaking Contest. Melvin Zehr was the winner of the County Contest for Tractor Operators. The Lowville chapter had a demonstration plot on the Bolliver farm in cooperation with the G.L.F. Three men from the state department in Albany came last fall to judge the plot. Honorable mention was received on the corn experiment. Seven counties took part in this. Gary Lehman is a member of the state F.F.A. chorus and is the County F.F.A. President. Three boys were sent to the state F.F.A. camp at Long Pond last summer. The Low- A7 ville Young Farmers’ organization was represented at the State Leadership Training camp by three boys. Two dele- gates were sent to the state convention. The organization ended another successful year, taking many prizes.

JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL Perhaps you feel that the Junior High School should not receive a whole page in a high school publication. We do not feel this way realizing that these are the chosen representatives of the future high school students of Lowville Academy, the students who will take our places and hold our positions. Somewhere, either in this student council group or in the great body of students they repre- sent, are editors, class presidents, National Honor Society members, athletes and musicians. They are the students who in a few years will be seen on the pages of the Lowacadian and will be pub- lishing our book. For you, future high school students, we wish the happy times we have had, and much success in the coming years. 48 At 9 o’clock sharp on December 29 the music of Bob Chisholm’s Orchestra started to fill the L.A.C.S. gym. Through the efforts of our decora- tion committee, the gym had been transformed into a fairyland of beauty. Soon the deccrations were enhanced by the addition of fluffy formals and swaying dancers.

Askin for 27 years Anyone walking in the front door of Lowville Academy between 12:40 P.M. and 1:20 P.M. on school days might hear “musical” strains of The Stars. and Stripes Forever coming from the auditorium. That’s right. You’ve guessed it! It is only the Lowville Academy Band playing under the direction of Luther B. Askin. Mr. Askin has very effi- ciently led the band for the past twenty-seven years. The band containing 45 members in 1929 has increased to 59 members, twenty-five years later. In June 1930 the band was invited to play at the boat races in Alexandria Bay. After the races, the band was taken on a tour of the islands. The next year, the band received an invitation from Captain Stannard, conductor of the United States Army Band, to play at the State Armory in Watertown. Captain Stannard conducted the Lowville Band in their opening number and Mr. Askin directed the Army Band in their introductory number. The same year Lowville won second place in the District Contest in Plattsburg. In 1935, Mr. Herrick of Springfield wrote Greetings to Lowville and dedicated it to Mr. Askin. The song has been published and played all over the world. Lowville was one of the five bands selected in the state at the St ate Contest in Endicott in May 1936. They received an excellent rating. This was the sixth consecutive time that the band had been eligible to attend State contests and the second time it had been eligible to participate in national contests. 1937 marked the first year that letters were given to band members. At Elmira, in May of that year, they re- ceived “‘superior”’ rating in the all-state contest. Only two bands in the state received higher ratings. They received a 2 rating in the sectional contest at Carthage in April 1938. This allowed them to participate in the State Contest at Amsterdam. They received a “superior” ratin g there and in the National Contest in Albany. In the summer of 1939, a memorable trip was made to the World’s Fair in New York. March 1941, the Lowville Band received a “highly su- perior” rating in Syracuse in the State Contest. In 1947 the present red and French blue uniforms were purchased. The band has won first prize in the Dairyland Festival in Watertown for four consecutive years (1950-1953). We hope they will chalk up another first prize this year and hope that they may continue to take many more top honors in the future as they have done in the past.

CHORUS Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! Don’t be disturbed .It’s only the chorus warming up. Pretty soon you'll hear parts (or maybe if you’re lucky, the whole song) of “°S Wonderful”? or maybe “Were You There?” These are two of the four numbers that we prepared for the Spring Music Festival at Potsdam. Twenty-five years ago the chorus (then known as the Glee Club) had forty-eight members under Mr. Lewis Shattuck. That same year the chorus presented the concertized grand opera, “‘Faust.” This year we presented the operetta, ““The Red Mill.” 57 In 1946, under Miss Helen Cathcart, a Boys’ Glee Club and a Girls’ Glee Club were organized. The last year of the Glee Clubs was 1950. Small choir began in 1949 under Mr. Jack Murray. The quartets had their beginning in 1951 under Miss Dorothy Curtis. Miss Anne Van Brocklin has continued the small choir and quartets. The girls’ quartet is composed of Nancy Schlieder, Ann Young, Beverly Duflo and Shirley Reed. Gary Lehman, Larry Marshall, Marty Donahoe and Bill O’Hare make up the boys’ quartet. is | Music! Music!

After dropping a two-point decision to Alex. Bay, they copped a match from West Carthage by a live margin to start a five-game victory streak. The record was broken by I.H.A. of Watertown, who, while going through an undefeated season, humbled the locals twice. Captain Frank Gowing proved to be the consistently high sco rer, topping the twenty mark re- peatedly. He was aided by the rest of the senior five— Fritz Parker, Marty Donahoe, Bill Easton and Larry Marshall. With five men over six feet in height, the five certainly showed tremendous promise. The sectionals at Watertown were entered into again this season by the red and white group. Pulaski was the first opponent. Despite the limited schedule, Frank Gow- ing went well over the 200 point mark, while Center Fritz Parker averaged more than 10 points a game. Next season, despite the loss of the starting five, should see an improvement upon this record. Led by Dick Brown and Bill Parker, an experienced group should go in action for Coach O’Connell.

Gee) To be a member of L Club, a boy must be a letterman, for this is our Varsity Club. He may earn the required letter by either participating actively in football, basket- ball, wrestling, baseball or track, or by being a manager for one of these varsity teams. Through the years many athletes have belonged to this organization. Of these, some have been high school stars, some have played on college teams and some have joined the ranks of the professionals. Again and again, time-honored names have appeared. Fathers, sons, uncles and nephews have carried on tradi- tions, broken records and won games. We honor these athletes, far too numerous to name, and predict that their standards will remain. MAINTENANCE Seated: C. Zecher, G. Young, J. McGrath, H. Peebles, S. Berrus. Standing: C. Parry, F.
