When the Lowell High School yearbooks were indexed, name spellings were entered as they appeared on each page. If only a first name or nickname and last initial appeared, however, the name was indexed by the last name if it could be ascertained. When names were misspelled, or if there was a typographical error or a variation in the spelling, which happened quite often, the name appears in this index the way it appeared in the yearbook. Occasionally a person's nickname, instead of his/her first name, appeared in quotation marks in the yearbook. For ease in computer alphabetizing, the quotation marks were omitted in this index.
In some yearbooks, the pages were not numbered. For those books, the pages were counted out by hand. This index indicates the page on which a name or photo can be found, whether the book had page numbers on each page or if the pages were hand counted.
The library has no yearbooks for the years 1918, 1919, and 1920. Whether or not yearbooks were created for those years is unknown. During the Great Depression, yearbooks were not published for the years 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1934. Finally, the library's collection of yearbooks does not include several that were published in the 1980's: 1980, 1981, 1985, 1986, and 1987. At such a time that the library is fortunate enough that someone donates a copy of one of the missing volumes, that year will be included in this index.
