As a faculty member, he taught Physical Education and Logic. During most of the years he was at Salem, he coached several teams including the basketball and baseball squads. His teams won numerous titles and several league championships. He was responsible for much of the initial organization of Salem State College’s Men’s intercollegiate athletic programs. Lowrey, who retired in 1971, was to generations of Salem students a friend, a mentor, and a coach.
