STEAMBOAT TODAY LOCAL Friday, June 6, 2008 | 3 Lowell Whiteman honors 18 Class of 2008 wreaks good-natured havoc before graduation Melinda Dudley PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS A few weeks ago, when The Lowell Whiteman School’s Class of 2008 tagged all the cars on campus with grease paint, everyone thought the tradition- al senior prank was over. But just when everyone’s minds were off it, the seniors “got everyone good,” Courtney Cox said. From blacklights in the chemistry classroom and wrap- ping the Charley Williams Lodge in string — and a flour bomb in the bell tower — the Class of 2008 wreaked some good-natured havoc on the Lowell Whiteman campus. The class’s crowning achieve- ment was switching the Spanish and French classrooms, a feat that involved moving everything from classroom furniture to doorway pull-up bars between two buildings and up flights of stairs. “We had just planned on moving posters and stuff … then we went a bit overboard,” senior Janis McLaughlin said The Lowell Whiteman School will honor its 51st graduating class at commencement exercis- es Saturday. Of the school’s 18 graduating seniors, 10 spent all JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF four years of their high school Lowell Whiteman senior Janis McLaughlin packs up her room Thursday afternoon. McLaughlin, originally from Estes Park, will graduate from the school Saturday with 17 See Graduation, page 13 of her classmates. 4
