Lowell then proceeded to give the Lions the worst drubbing they have ever had, the Cards running up 83 points against none for Galileo. Quoting from the first issue of the Pendulum: Galileo's first season of football has not been a failure in spite of what may have been said. Many say it has been a failure because not only did the players show a limited knowledge of football tactics, but they had high scores piled against them, and not one victory throughout the season. Others say the season has been a success because in spite of the fact that the boys knew very little football, and many times played against men much larger than themselves, they always showed the right spirit and fought to the last. This good spirit will last through the coming years and will win many championships for Galileo. The prophecy has been fulfilled. Publications at the old school were supervised by the late Dr. john B. Mol- ineux, a member of the Galileo faculty until a couple of years ago. He died early this year after being struck by an auto- mobile. By Ianuary of 1923 the regular Galileo building at Bay and Van Ness was com- pleted, and the jubilant students imme- diately moved into their new quarters. fft- A24f1Ki.,:',?'.' 7-5' alarm, QM!

The same faculty was brought over and a few new teachers were added. The following quotation is from the 1924 Telescope, written about the im- pressive ceremony that took place when Galileo was dedicated: San Francisco's latest gift to secondary education-Galileo High School-was dedicated on March 50, 1924, while plans were under way for a new wing to the building which will almost double the capacity of the institution. And a proud day it was for the students and faculty, for they were made the subject of a ded- ication service that was featured by a gathering of notable men and organiza- tions on a Sunday afternoon. The or- ganizations that sponsored the service gave the event a ring of confidence in the next generation almost as stable as the building itself. The day was in keeping with the event. The western sun, making its way towards the Golden Gate, sparklecl down upon the drill team and the Native Sons of the Golden West in a parade which stretched along Van Ness avenue and cul- minated before the school entrance, where more than 3,000 citizens lent dig- nity to the occasion. The event was one which gave new inspiration to the responsible directing heads of Galileo. It brought out Fred Dohrmann, president of the Board of Education, joseph Marr Gwinn, superin- tendent of schools, A. J. Cloud, deputy superintendent, and Major P. Nourse, principal. The exercises, which were in charge of Thomas F. Boyle, chairman of the day, were characterized by their rich simplicity, which provided a text for Act- ing Mayor R. McLeran, who declared in his dedicatory address that 'We have come together today for the most pa- triotic cause for which the American peo- ple can assemble' President Dohrmann spoke as one in- spired, and in his audience saw satisfac- if l American oot Again mi, i. , f - 'Z s , 313522 Established in the San i I on Q I gql.
