The Fall of Ouintus Fabius Long T WAS the last day of the semester. The entire body of students of the Washington High School was assembled in the spacious auditorium for the scholastic event of the term. In this contest any student in the school might submit a poem, essay, short story, or a play. The winner was awarded a gold medal. The program was about half-way through and the juvenile section of the audience was frankly bored. At the close of each paper they had clapped rather per¬ functorily. The next number on the program was announced by the student- body president. “ ‘Necessity for the More General Study of Greek’ Quintus Long” The speaker, a husky, dark-haired boy of about fourteen years, a fine specimen of boyhood, was unusually pale and his bright, gray eyes were con¬ cealed by a huge pair of tortoise-shell glasses. He spoke well, in clear, concise sentences. When he had completed his essay, the older portion of his audi¬ ence applauded vigorously, the younger element mechanically. Two more readings terminated the program. The five judges rose im¬ portantly and conferred together in the principal’s office and then solemnly communicated their decision to the president. Quintus Long had won the medal. Amidst genera l applause he received the prize. “I knew he’d win,” said dark-haired Maybelle Summers, “he always does. He never fails in anything.” “That’s quite a record,” responded her companion, “and he’s only a fresh¬ man, too. I’d like to see him miss once, anyway.” “Oh, he will,” concluded Maybelle sagely, “after all, he’s only mortal.” Quintus Fabius Long, for such was this remarkable boy’s name, was his parents’ only child. When he was born, the Longs brazenly dared the Fates and decided that he should not be as other small boys of their acquaintance— noisy, mischievous, nerve-racking tomboys. No, indeed! He would be the true Tage 8 The Lowell son of his parents, earnest and quiet; he would live a peaceful, uneventful life, and, it is not amiss to say, they expected him to die a peaceful death and be buried in a quiet, peaceful grave, even as they themselves expected to be. Moreover, his parents decided that, when he should have attained maturity, he should be a professor (for Mrs. Long thought professors were the very acme of dignity and “so distinguished”) and at thirty-five or thereabouts he was to marry a nice, sensible, congenial girl, who would aid him in his career. Thus they planned, little knowing that the Fates, autocratic rulers, will brook no interference from mere mortals. When the remarkable Quintus was twelve years old, he was everything that the Longs desired him to be. He was gentle, manly, courteous, and had never been boisterous. Moreover, he was the best student in his class and the joy and delight of his teachers. He did not waste his time playing, but spent it reading and improving his mind. Whenever one of the boys would ask him to engage in sport, Quin would adjust his owlish glasses, and say, “No, thank you. Darwin is too engrossing.” At thirteen, Quin was graduated from grammar school, the undisputed scholar of his class. Even the teachers were proud of him. Quin entered high school with but one ambition. He intended to be the best student in the entire school. He studied diligently and frequently. As a reward for his labors, he received the best possible grade in every subject. At the same time, he confided to his parents that he had decided to become a professor of Latin and Greek. Their joy on hearing this was boundless. Toward the beginning of the second semester (just after he had won the prize) Quin remained after school one afternoon to finish a Greek exercise. When he was deeply engrossed in his work, he heard someone address him. He looked up and saw (what he termed to his parents) “one of those foolish girls” before him. She was little and golden-haired and blue-eyed, and he re¬ membered that his teachers called her “Miss Bless.” She asked in a sweet, baby voice if he would explain a “math” problem to her. He endeavored to explain it to her, but his explanation did not seem ade¬ quate, for she puckered up her pretty brows in perplexity. He questioned her as to which points she did not understand. As he watched her, he discovered that she was very attractive. He had never really noticed her before. He went deeper into the explanation. Finally, she said she understood, and, thanking him sweetly, walked away. The following day as Quin strode through one of the corridors of the large, gray building he met (he had taken the trouble to find out her name) June Bliss. She smiled at him. He stuttered out a faint “Hello!” while a warm feeling, which he could not label, enveloped him. He had never felt that way before. That day he received his first low mark in geometry. He had discovered that June sat where he cbuld easily view her many charms. He gazed at her all period, and when the teacher called upon him, he hadn’t the faintest idea for June 1922 Tageq where the place was in the book. Moreover, he didn’t care. The class was so surprised that no one spoke for fully two minutes. For two days Quin merely existed. He was happy when he was in the same class as she and miserable when he was not. On the third day June asked him about another problem. His knowledge of “math” took on a greater glory in his eyes. In the middle of his explanation he observed how her eyelashes curled and how red her mouth was. He became muddled and was compelled to start over again. He went slowly this time; so as to keep her longer. When she said that she must be an awful bore and that he must think her terribly stupid, he replied that he could explain things to a pretty girl like her all year and was quite abashed at his own audacity. During the noon hour he accosted one of his boy friends. “Daniel,” he asked hesitantly, his face flushing a dull red, “how,—how would you make a— a girl—1-like you?” “Well, what has struck you?” queried his friend. Then, rising to the oc¬ casion, for this was one subject on which any boy likes to air his knowledge, he said: “Well, you must be an athlete. You must try for the football team, espe¬ cially. Then learn to dance and say nice things to ’em, and lo! how they fall! —Say, Quin (his curiosity overwhelming him), is she pretty? Who is she?” No amount of cajoling could make Quin, however, divulge her identity. Quin took his friend’s advice seriously. He did nothing by halves. That afternoon, and thereafter for many afternoons, he reported to the gymnasium regularly. His fond mother was almost prostrated when he came home with a broken wrist, received while playing basket-ball. These were days of many sur¬ prises for Mr. and Mrs. Long. Their home was quiet no longer. In the evenings Quin was learning to dance, and he required the presence of some of his friends nightly. The stately old grand piano lost its dignity through jazz. With athletics engaging his attention, Quin’s record in scholarship fell scandalously. He no longer wished to be a professor. His ambition now was to be a civil engineer. He ceased his study of Greek, so that he might take ukulele lessons. His parents thought his mind had been affected. Perhaps they were right. His strenuous endeavor in athletics bore fruit. He made the baseball team, and June Bliss’ smile after he had made a “home run” more than compensated for his failure in Latin. He aspired to a place on the football team later on. June Bliss, with her sunny smile and forget-me-not eyes, was his first “girl.” She was replaced by a petite brunette, and she by still another. The Fates had been triumphant. The downfall of the model son had been accomplished. With the wisdom of the ages, they knew that one little blonde with a baby stare could wreck a kingdom, and still more easily a potential professor. But such is life and such it will be, ad infinitum. —Florine Olivieri. Page 10 The Lowell The Millionaires IEW,” panted Martin Hanks, when by dint of hard climbing;, he had reached the top of the Sierran ridge and sunk down upon an inviting rock. He proceeded to remove his heavy boots and stroke his calloused feet tenderly with appropriate oaths as he touched each tender spot. Then he took out his pipe, lighted it, and scanned the panorama of mountains and valleys. “Let’s anchor here,” he called back to Big Jim Grimes, who was toiling up the slope with Betsy, the old pack horse. When Big Jim arrived, he grunted assent, and tied Betsy to a tree. His great size and mighty hulk seemed to tower even in this place, although there was a droop to his great shoulders and his feet dragged heavily. “Why, the devil, did we ever start on this fool trip?” he wailed, picking up a small trunk of a tree that had broken off and setting it atop two adjacent rocks to form a seat. “Wot yer beefin’ about? It was one of your dumfoozled notions. Thought we’d find gold! Huh! The devil, himself, knows I’d give my big toe to be back on the ‘Bill Burke,’ scuddin’ fore a wind with some ham and eggs under my belt.” Big Jim had the advantage of his companion in size, but Hanks was known among the seamen as “Little Husky,” and his reputation commanded respect even from Big Jim Grimes, who contented himself by roaring, “Aw! stow that!” Grimes refreshed himself from his canteen, and, after removing his boots, squirmed up onto his improvised seat. The wood was rotted, and it deposited him, accompanied by a deluge of profanity, upon the sandy bed of a long-dried stream. Still swearing horribly, he rose to find Hanks almost sprawling in hysterics. Jim sat where he had fallen, dumfounded at his partner’s unfeeling joy; then he snatched for a rock, whereupon “Little Husky” took to his heels and climbed a tree. Peering back through the branches, Mart saw a strange sight. Big Jim was on his hands and knees peering at the sand into which he had fallen. Then he bellowed an ear-splitting whoop, jumped up, threw his ragged cap into the air and danced wildly about until his tangled feet tripped him up. Then he sank down upon the sand and yelled loudly, “Hanks, you consarned son of a sea cook, come here 1” But the smaller man returned warily, possessing himself of a stout stick and a rock on the way. When he saw Jim’s helpless position, he threw his heavy artillery and caution to the winds. Thinking of broken legs, Little Husky attempted to recall First Aid Hints, and jumped down to where Big Jim grovelled in the sand, to find himself pounced upon by the giant, who shook him by the shoulders and kicked him and beat him upon the back, cry¬ ing, “We’re rich! We’re millionaires! Holy Sufferin’ Mackerel! Look!” he for June 1922 Tagen added seriously, “see that, and that, and that,” and he pointed to a number of yellow sparkling flakes in the sand. “Why it’s-” Then Martin Hanks fell upon his knees and gasped incredulously. “W-what? G-gold? By golly! You bet your sweet life it’s gold!” They embraced. They danced. They howled. They stopped and looked again and forgot to curse, for joy. Big Jim’s slower wits settled first, and he unpacked from Betsy’s load an old tin basin and carried it until they came to another stream and tried to wash out the stuff. Neither of the men had seen much gold in all their lives, but they succeeded, after three hard weeks of washing, in getting enough of the precious stuff together to fill half a whiskey flask full of their wonder¬ ful find. That night they talked things over. “Day after tomorrow me an’ you hits for the bay and the ‘Bill Burke.’ ” “Wot’ll we do with the salvage?” demanded Jim. “Take the stuff to the Mint and get it changed,” replied the other. They both sat and smoked for a long time and each dreamed his dream of riches. Finally, Grimes said: “You know, Mart, 1 heerd once, that up in Alasky, when a boy finds some gold on a place he claims it, or somethin’; anyway it becomes his’n. Why couldn’t we do that?” Mart Hanks was silent for a moment. “Jumpin’ Jellyfish!” he cried, “that’s where you hit me ’tween the eyes with an idee. We’ll claim that stream bed as our’n and sell chunks of it to our mateys.” “Mart,” said Big Jim, gravely, “I takes back all I ever had agin’ you. An’, ef I remember right, the ‘Bill Burke’ won’t be touchin’ in ’Frisco for fourteen days.” Two weeks later they arrived in San Francisco, weary and exhausted, but happy in the acquisition of long-dreamed-of wealth. They had tramped all the way there, the conductor on the train being unable to accept anything but the currency of the realm. Two hours after they crossed on the ferry, their feet touched the deck of the “Bill Burke.” That night, in the forecastle, the heroes of the ship recounted their ad¬ ventures for the tenth time, until every man in the crew planned desertion. They gambled the shirts off their backs for the flask, and, finally, when they turned in, Mart sneaked out on deck, tied a rope to it, and let the precious bottle hang overboard to prevent its being stolen. Next morning they swaggered down the gang plank like turkeycocks under the envious eyes of the rest of the crew, swaggered across the Embarcadero, swaggered to a car, and swaggered up to the Mint, the precious bottle in Big Jim’s possession. It seemed ages before they stood before the little barred window, their Golden Gate to the calm harbor of Prosperity. ' Page 12 The Lowell Big Jim’s trembling fingers placed the bottle in the hands of a young man behind the window. He looked at the stuff and his eyes twinkled. He asked a few questions and put the bottle on the counter. “Sorry, boys,” he said, “but this stuff here isn ' t gold. It may look like it, but it isn’t. Ever heard of Fool’s Gold? No?” “Well, it’s a mixture of sulphur and iron found practically everywhere in the world. That’s what this is.” “Honest?” “Honest.” “Ain’t it worth nothin’?” “Well, about ioc a ton,” said the man, laughing. Little Husky led Big Jim away. Half stupefied, they reached the sidewalk. “Fool’s gold. You heerd ’im?” Little Husky demanded, fighting mad. But Jim was beginning to see clearer. His dismay left him and he laughed foolishly. “Huh! Fool ' s Gold! That ' s us, Mart! We been fooled all right. Let’s get back to the ‘Billie Burke’ for chow. We was millionaires for two weeks, and it didn’t get us nothin’, but it was swell to think about!” “Didn’t get us nothin ' ?” asked Mart, “ain ' t we in all the swag we won from that crew of highbinders?” —Gordon Cole. San Francisco Ferry A motley, varied mass, Each race, each creed, each class, In seething crowd moves through thy portals grey; Life’s humor and her wit With tragedy are knit As in and out Life moves in one short day. What color for the eye, What sights to bring a sigh In this great tapestry are rashly wove! There hooded poverty And Mammon’s devotee Walk unaware of any brother love. And yet, glance here and see If misery could be— Bright talk, fair girls and brilliant flowers bloom; The fluffy sweet of Life is here— Gladness, bright hope, good cheer, Here underneath this portal’s greyish gloom. for June 1922 Page 13 But there at yonder gate, A victim of cruel Fate, A cripple sits—one blind and deaf and dumb. How horrible a sight, How pitiful the plight Of him who seeks to live by selling gum! Grey walls, ’tis Life—think not To change men’s Fate or lot Sad though the drama be beneath thy grey! Be as the (sphinx and smile As Life’s great rank and file Move through thy portals every day. —Florence L. Wilson. The Arrival of the Fishing Boats In my young days, when the roving fisher boats chugged into the little cove to set their nets for fish, brother and I used to spend most of our time on the bay. At that time, we knew every broad-beam gray launch that rounded Green Point, a mile away, and at the same time knew most of the fishermen who owned them. We would wait until the coughing engine was silent and the anchor was cast. Then, being anxious to pay a visit to the swarthy-visaged men with heavy, grizzled beards and rough red hands, we would hoist the sail of our tiny, round-bottomed skiff and, using an oar for a rudder, skim out across the ruffled surface of the bay. They always made us welcome in their strange and guttural tongues, for we took them apples from the orchard and sometimes a glass of sugar and a loaf of home-made bread. In exchange for these they gave us curious souvenirs of their travels, dried star-fish of great size. The boat we knew best was called “Santa Cruz,” which the neighboring towns called “Biray.” The two fishermen, its owners, dark, powerful men, anchored just beyond our float in the smelt and fishing season, and we were fond of them. Sometimes they let us help them haul in the nets, and more than once brother and I have stood in huge hip boots many sizes too large for us, tugging at wet ropes heavy with seaweed, excitedly pulling at the drag net and watching for the first glint of splashing silver in the brown meshes which would tell us that the net was nearly to the beach and filled with fish. We were always sorry to see the “Santa Cruz” leave us, and it was always a day of rejoicing when we sighted the little gray boat chugging around the point, its bow and stern piled high with seine and drag nets. —Justino Villasenor. Tage 14 The Lowell All For His Landlady For two hours they argued— “It’ll revolutionize the railroad industry. Give my invention a chance and this will be the most prosperous country on God ' s earth. The more prosperous the people are the more prosperous the railroads will be.” If that didn’t get him, nothing would. So thought the speaker, a young, good- looking person, who, although he looked as if he were used to being rebuffed by people wherever he went, yet was discouraged by this grim, cold-eyed man, whose features showed nothing of what was in his mind. He was regarding the model on the table before him, a model of a hill-leveling machine of revolutionary design, which the inventor claimed would make it so easy to build railroads that the country would be covered with them. More trains meant more shipping, more shipping meant increased prosperity for the railroads and the people. So persuasive was the young man, that his listener was finally persuaded that the engine was worth a trial, at the least. The young man left with a jubilant smile, or rather a grin, on his face. He had received a check for expenses and was to receive more later with which to build the machine which he represented could level a hill in a day. Now he could look his landlady in the face! “I tell you, it was an accident—a weak boiler plate—otherwise it would have worked.” “I have been informed by the engineers that the machine is a positive failure. Nothing can persuade me to give it another trial.” The speaker was a grim, cold-eyed man, with features which showed not a trace of what was in his mind, and he was talking to a young, good-looking person, whose face showed the hopelessness in his heart. Strange to relate, when the young man left, there was a smile on his face. For in his ears were ringing the words of the financier. “You’re a poor inventor, but you have a wonderful gift of gab. We need a new agent. You’re hired.” Now he needn’t be afraid of looking his landlady in the face! — .

The fiddler raised his eyes, And gazed down at the throng. Arose from them full many sighs, But such were they that meant no wrong. The fiddler smiled. Two score years Had he worked and prayed for this night, Two score years, amid hopes and fears, Had he tried, without success’ light. He faltered, he swayed, his head was reeling now. The throng gasped, and arose From the many, many rows. But ’twas too late. The life Of the fiddler freely flowed. His success had come too late. —Philip Mathias. Now Spring is here! And I would I were as wild and free As Spring’s sweet self that shyly calls and beckons me. I want to climb the hills a-followed by my dog; I want to splash in streams, just jumping log to log; I want to amble slowly through a moist, damp glade Sniffing pungent scents of Springtime in its shade; I long to feel a keen-edged breeze caress my cheek And in my tingling ears sweet murmurs speak. Alone? My dog’s my pal, and whisp’ring breezes, too, And busy, cheerful birds—why these alone will do! Now Spring is here! Oh, how I long to be as free As that fair spirit calling earth to life, and me! —Florence Wilson. ' Page 16 The Lowell Our Influence We scatter seeds with careless hand And think we ne’er shall see them more; But for a thousand years Their fruit appears In weeds that scar the land Or healthful store. The deeds we do, the words we say, Into nowhere seem to fleet; We count them ever past, We think they will not last— But on Judgment Day They and we shall meet. God judges you for years gone by, For the love of brethren dear; Keep, then, the one true way In work or play, Lest from the sky Their cry of woe ye hear. —Charles Buchanan. zJl Flower’s Fife A tiny flower bloomed one morn And lifted its face to the smiling dawn. A sunbeam chanced to be dancing by And teased, “May I on your soft petals lie?” And a dewdrop whispered from the grass, “May I to your slender stalk hold fast?” The flower said to both, “You may.” And its life was sweet and full that day. And when dusk drew near and it closed to dream, It thanked the dew and the warm sunbeam. And we humans also have need of those two— Smiles are the sunbeams, and tears the dew. —Kate Mercado. for June 1922 Tageij A Whim of the Gods ' SING T’SING sat at the edge of the little pond in the garden and gazed sadly into the water. All about her was laughter and merri¬ ment; for the Feast of the Lanterns would soon be at hand—her mother and her attendants were decorating the house with flowers, the garden with gayly colored lanterns. The little shrine was filled with flowers, and large sticks of punk burned before the Altar of Buddha. But T’sing T’sing did not hear their merry laughter ringing through the grove, she did not see the gayly colored lanterns swinging gently in the breeze—she was very unhappy. She heaved a little sigh, several tears rolled down her cheeks and slipped unnoticed into the water. In a secluded part of the garden, not far from the little pond, was a small gate hidden beneath a mass of vines. Someone was knocking at the gate. T’sing T’sing cast a furtive glance about her, and after having assured herself that no one was near, she jumped up lightly and running to the gate opened it to admit a young Chinese boy, who entered cautiously. T’sing T’sing, who could control herself no longer, burst into tears and unfolded to him her grief. It appeared that Ho Ling, her father, was under financial obligations to Chang Chow Fu, a very cruel and powerful Mandarin. When the time came for him to pay the money the Mandarin would not accept it, saying that Ho Ling might cancel the debt by giving him his only daughter, T’sing T’sing. Ho Ling promptly agreed, and it was arranged that the marriage should take place after the Feast of the Lanterns. It was useless to plead with her father—the agreement had been made. Ling Chee promised to help her. Fie would arrange for their flight together. In the meantime she must promise to be happy and trust all to him. T’sing T’sing dried her tears and promised. Ling Chee bade her goodbye, slipped out by the little gate and slowly turned his steps toward home. His heart was very heavy. His father, Ma Shue, was very poor and weak. The Mandarin was very rich and powerful—with one move of his little finger he could easily crush Ling Chee and his father. It was useless to pit his strength or match his wits against the mighty Mandarin’s—yet something must be done in order to save the beautiful T’sing T’sing. Ling Chee reached his house, ate his rice in silence, and when he had finished, he told Ma Shue that he was going for a walk. He started down the road in the direction of the palatial residence of Chang Chow Fu. Chang Chow Fu was smoking his pipe contentedly in his luxurious surround¬ ings. A cruel smile curved his lips as he thought of T’sing T’sing the beautiful. He thought of her olive skin, her beautiful brown almond eyes, her coral lips, her raven black hair, with a flower tucked here and there, her slim figure, beautiful hands and her tiny well-shaped feet. He had first seen her in the garden as he had passed Ho Ling’s house in his magnificent palanquin, and had determined that she should belong to him. The marriage would soon be at hand; he was content. ' Page 18 ' The Lowell What rich and powerful man has not many enemies? The thought of them did not disturb Chang Chow Fu in the least—he knew that he was more powerful. Had he known that at this very moment a man was stealthily crawling from bush to bush in his garden, gradually nearing the room in which he sat, the Mandarin would not have been smoking his pipe so peacefully with the cniel smile on his lips. The man, who was now beneath the window, was no other than Pui Kwang, and he came only for one thing—to kill. He raised his head slowly and peered in the open window at Chang Chow Fu; Pui Kwang’s almond eyes glittered and his features were distorted with hatred—a long steel dagger glittered in the moon¬ light. He waited a moment, his dagger poised a little above his head, there was a flash of steel, a loud piercing cry—Chang Chow Fu, the great and powerful Man¬ darin, fell to the ground. Pui Kwang’s messenger of death had done its work, and Pui Kwang had disappeared as if by magic. When the servants, who had rushed into the room where the Mandarin had been tranquilly smoking, beheld their dead master, great confusion prevailed. Guards searched in the garden for traces of the murderer while others went down the road. There was a sound of struggling and the guards came toward the house dragging a young boy who was protesting vigorously—Ling Chee. They had found him running down the road. The captive was promptly thrown into prison; accused of having murdered Chang Chow Fu and sentenced to be put to death upon the first day of the Feast of the Lanterns; the execution was to be a public one. Tse Chan, the executioner, would be in his glory. The Feast of the Lanterns was only two days off! T’sing T’sing arose at dawn and dressed. She descended to the little shrine and knelt before the altar, praying to be saved from the dreadful fate her father had decreed for her. She had been there for a long time when her prayers were sud¬ denly interrupted by Hyacinth, her maid, who came to tell her of the murder of Chang Chow Fu and Ling Chee’s arrest. T’sing T’sing rejoiced when she heard of the Mandarin’s death, but on learning that Ling Chee was to be executed, her cup of grief was full to overflowing. She saw it all—Ling Chee in desperation had murdered Chang Chow Fu in order to free her from her terrible fate. She blamed herself. She would rather have married Chang Chow Fu than endangered Ling Chee’s life. She could do nothing to save him. Her father hated Ling Chee; there was no one who would help. On approaching the Mandarin’s residence, Ling Chee saw a figure dart across the road. He hastened his step to overtake the fast disappearing form. A piercing cry startled him. He saw the guards running about the grounds. Very much frightened. Ling Chee turned and fled down the road but was soon overtaken by the guards. No one would listen to his story. He was immediately thrown into prison and sentenced to death. All this had happened so quickly that he was bewildered. Ling Chee looked up at the stars from behind his iron-barred window. He had been greatly amazed when he had learned of the Mandarin’s death. The Gods had not willed that the for June 1922 ‘P“g l 9 beautiful T’sing T ' sing should be his—she would never be his bride, but the Gods had given Ling Chee the honor of dying for her, and he must be content. The first morning of the Feast of the Lanterns found T’sing T’sing in the little shrine kneeling before the altar—for two days she had hardly left the shrine, and had eaten nothing. Her beautiful eyes were swollen from weeping; she had not ceased praying to the Gods to save Ling Chee. Soon Hyacinth, who had not quitted her young mistress, awakened, gently led T’sing T’sing to her room and hastened to dress her in her best regalia. She tucked flowers into the glossy black hair and painted her lips and cheeks. The toilet lasted a long time, for T’sing T’sing was very sad and tears streamed down her cheeks. At last, she was dressed and ready to depart for Ling Chee’s execu¬ tion—the first event of the day. The big procession of the Dragon was to follow. Ho Ling was very angry; he paced to and fro. He had wished his daughter to marry the rich and powerful Mandarin. All the preparations had been made for the marriage, he had spent a great deal of money for the gifts. He could think of no one else suitable for his daughter. After entering their palanquins they joined the procession slowly wending its way toward the place of execution. The day was sultry and dark clouds covered the sky, but no one noticed this. Every one was excited; it was not often that an execu¬ tion was a public one, and then too, all were looking forward to the festivities of the day. T’sing T’sing and her escort finally reached their destination, a large clearing, in the center of which was a stone platform; upon it was placed a wooden block. T’sing T’sing shuddered when she saw the block, and raised her eyes pleadingly to heaven. The place was crowded and Ton Sei, the emperor, was seated with his attend¬ ants upon a throne under a huge canopy. After a few minutes, the emperor sig¬ nalled and immediately two guards came forth leading Ling Chee. There was a sudden hush; the crowd waited breathlessly; Ling Chee glanced around, caught the eye of T’sing T’sing and smiled faintly. The prisoner and his attendants mounted the platform. The final preparations for the execution completed, Ling Chee knelt. Tse Chan unsheathed his shining sword. T’sing T’sing lifted her eyes for a last appeal to the Gods. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning, a peal of thunder—the rain came down in torrents. Everyone stood aghast at this un¬ expected happening. A second flash of lightning struck a wooden building and set it afire. The people were now greatly frightened and it was bruited about that the Gods were angry with them. The terrified onlookers ran in all directions. Ton Sei entered his palanquin and was conducted to the palace. Tse Chan dropped his sword, his sole pride, and fled. Ling Chee took advantage of the confusion and descended from the platform into the crowd. T’sing T’sing, without a moment’s hesitation hastened to him, untied his hands, and together they disappeared. Ling Chee saw an empty palanquin, its bearers too frightened to put it down. T’sing T’sing thrust some coins into the men’s hands and bade them carry them to the hills. Within an ' Page 20 The Lowell hour they had reached the summit; there the men left them. Ling Chee and T’sing T’sing were very happy. They did not mind the rain that soaked them through and through; they did not mind the peals of thunder, nor were they startled by the lightning. As they started slowly down the other side of the hill toward their future, T’sing T’sing sighed with happiness, for the Gods had answered her prayer. —Aileen Bauer. Oh, for a home by the boundless sea, Whose tides creep up o’er the sands so free, Where I’d list to the roar of the hungry waves That foam and rage in ocean caves; While to the song of the flying spray I’d view the ships of far Cathay And lie and dream of ocean lore, Of palm trees on an islet shore, And the mysteries of the seven seas, And richly laden argosies Tossed high upon the billow’s crest Of Father Neptune’s heaving breast. Where the sea winds do forever blow, Where the briny weeds and fishes grow; And the breakers throw their chalky crest Upon the sea-shore’s weary breast— Where the white gulls flap their wings on high, And glide and hover in the sky; Where the strong winds swing so strong and free Above the restless, roaring sea. The waves—the gulls—the brine—the foam— By these I’d have my cottage home. —Raymond Puccinelli. Tage 22 The Lowell Lowell, Alma Mater dear, farewell, We leave you; toward our after-life We turn, therein to find our hardest strife, But have no fear, no fear. For, Lowell, you have given all to us, Of knowledge, truth, and spirit new, For you alone we aim to do, So have no fear, no fear. Oh, Alma Mater true, farewell. Through all the years we’ll hail your name. We’ll win in study and in game; So have no fear, no fear. Your sight we love; your flag above Shall wave, for mile on mile. Say you’ll remember us awhile! And, pray thee, have no fear. Then, once for all, we say farewell; For you we’ll fight, we’ll vanquish might, Your children all, we cherish right, So have no fear, no fear. E. S. Firtnxt for June 1922 Toge 23 ALBERT MEILLETTE Secretary PHILIP LAWLER Valedictorian LOUIS LERCARI President JUANITA WESTLAKE Girls Athletic Manager DOROTHY KNOWLES Vice-President JACK NOUNNAN Boys’ Athletic Manager ANGUS HORNBLOWER Treasurer WORTHEN BRADLEY Reporter Class of June ’22 T hursday, the eighteenth of May, the Seniors held sway over Lowell, for it was Senior Day. Let it be known that they exercised their power in a manner highly creditable to themselves. The Seniors were hosts to the other Upper-Classmen in the Auditorium, where they rendered a splendid program. President Lercari opened the assembly with a telling speech on Friendship and the relation of high-school years to after years. He presented Frederic Sala, who eclipsed all previous efforts with his fine essay on James Russell Lowell. Fred Galbraith spoke of the Alumni Association. Emmet Rixford rendered a beautiful violin solo. Then came the Allegory. Written by Stanley Weigel and Charles Buchanan, it pointed out the benefits derived from the studies pursued, activities and sports indulged in, and friends made at high school. Responsible for much of its success was Mrs. McDonald, who sacrificed her lunch hour in order to rehearse the play. Thus ended the formal program. Back of all the merriment of this memorable day, inspiring and directing all things, were Miss Lacoste, Mr. Stephens and Mr. Tucker. Nothing the pen can write is able to adequately express the gratitude and thanks of the class. Tage 24. The Lowell ROSALIE C. ALLENBF.RG RAYMOND T. ANIXTER FRANCIS L. ASHBY PAUL A.

This means that “One Day” Committees, club memberships, and inter-class activities have been ruled out. A word of ex¬ planation may he necessary here as to why we did not include the last group. We believe that this change will make the Senior Records more readable and interesting and cut out all pretense. A record should consist of responsible posi¬ tions well filled, and not of a long list of trivial services. Being a leader in your organization is the true essential of a record. This department of the Lowell has long been sadly neglected and we believe this change to be a step in the right direction. Even now this section can be greatly improved and we hope that the next Lowell will also give it its attention. ARDEN ALLEN—Transferred from Broadway High, Seattle; R. O. T. C.

( Continued on fagt 2j) Tage 38 The Lowell A Word of Greeting A. J. Cloud, Deputy Superintendent of Schools In addressing a brief word of greeting to you, the students of Lowell High School of this generation, I am thinking of you in the light of your opportunities for useful participation in school and community life. You are the heirs of a glorious past and the builders of an even more vital present and hopeful future, both in the narrow sense of school membership and in the broad application of general social relationship. Your school has a long and illustrious history. As I write, my mind almost inevitably reverts to that period (1905-1911) in the annals of Lowell with which I am most familiar, as I was then privileged to be a member of its faculty. Across the screen of memory pass the kindly associations of those years, producing picture upon picture of happy incident or experience. Lowell was then located in an antiquated wooden structure, destitute of proper equipment and accommodations, and so cramped that games and plays could not be attempted on the school premises. The Principal was the veteran, Mr. Frank Morton, who had ranged about him a corps of teachers limited in number, but unsurpassed in quality, and who had been instrumental in developing an atmos¬ phere and spirit such that every teacher and every student believed with his whole heart that Lowell was the very best school on earth. It may have been provincial, but, at any rate, it was magnificent. The product of that older Lowell has been measured since; and a mere catalogue of names of the boys a nd girls of the earlier day would shed luster upon any institution. Today, Lowell has a substantial, well equipped building. Its enrollment has fully doubled that of my time. Its number of teachers has been largely increased, and niy esteemed colleague of former days, Mr. F. H. Clark, stands now at the helm. The course of study is richer and more elastic. A strong student-body organization continues to function, ever inculcating the right principles of conduct in relation to self-government and school spirit. All of this leads one to be optimistic and to predict for Lowell High School a further long career as a temple of social enlightenment. I believe that you, the present students of Lowell, are awake to your responsibilities of passing on to oncoming bodies of students the ideals for which this renowned old school has always stood. I believe that you appreciate the gift of a free modern education so cheerfully provided by the generous people of your city and State, and that you will repay in good season in terms of progressive citizenship. My greeting is in truth a bugle call to service—to that high type of service which Lowellites of former generations have rendered mankind. On behalf of the entire student-body of Lowell the editor takes this opportunity to respond to the cordial greetings of Deputy Superintendent A. J. Cloud. We appreciate his high enthusiasm and affectionate regard for Lowell, as expressed above. We tender him our sincere gratitude, and wish to assure him that we also live in the belief that Lowell is the “best school on earth.” for June 1922 Tage 39 The Junior High School Years ago we used to think of American public education as quite permanently organized on the basis of the ele¬ mentary school for eight years, the high school for four years, followed by the college and professional courses. We know that schools in England, France and Germany did not make the same distribution of years of youthful training, but we did not trouble ourselves greatly to inves¬ tigate the possible improvement of our traditional habits. In matters of this sort Americans are quite content to con¬ tinue with what they have inherited. For some time now certain extremely important devel¬ opments have been under way. We have not seen quite so much of them here in San Francisco as in some other places in California. The important point has been a shortening of the period for the purely elementary training, and an introduction into the school experience of the boy or girl of subjects and methods properly belonging to the secondary education earlier than the beginning of the ordinary high school. A division was made at the end of the sixth year, and for the seventh, eighth and ninth years important additions were made to the studies ordinarily given in the elementary grades. Foreign languages were taught. Definite courses in vocational subjects, as book¬ keeping and typing, were introduced, and courses in manual training were made more valuable by being brought into definite relation with courses in drawing. The name “Intermediate” has been the one commonly in use for the schools of this character. In San Francisco we have had examples of this type of Intermediate School in the Horace Mann, the Crocker and the Hamilton Schools. However, until this year these schools have included classes of the sixth year, and have lacked the ninth year. Recently the tendency has been to abandon this name Intermediate School for the more clearly expressive title of “Junior High School.” This year, with the inclusion of the ninth year, this name has been applied in San Francisco. The questions arising from these changes that especially interest us in the Lowell High School are how are we to be affected and what changes in our own way of life should we plan for? On supposition that Junior High Schools are to be multiplied to provide therein for all ninth year students, the prospect then would be of a reduction of our course to a three-year basis, with entering pupils ready to do advanced work in foreign languages and some other subjects. Naturally the name Senior High School would be employed as a ready distinction; but one won¬ ders what names would come into service for the particular years and classes. Formerly when we had a regular high school course of three years the classes were designated as Juniors, Middle and Senior. Some schools would doubtless choose to keep a continuous numbering from the Junior High School with the MR. FREDERICK H. CLARK Principal Tage 40 The Lowell designations fourth, fifth and sixth years as the Senior division, or from the Elementary School with the designations tenth, eleventh and twelfth years. More important readjustments would be necessary in our outlines of studies and our school activities. On the basis of just a three-year Senior High School course our student-body would be more closely knit together, extremes in age and advancement would be brought nearer to each other, and the general solidarity of the school would be enhanced. With general foundational work thoroughly done in the Junior High School a corresponding strengthening of scholarship in the succeeding three years would be expected. With the full development of Junior High Schools carried out in San Fran¬ cisco, and with all of our present-day high schools transformed into three-year Senior High Schools, many new situations and relations would result. It is worth while to consider some of these from the point of view both of the younger and of the older groups. In the past the high schools have, unfortunately, borrowed their customs from the colleges. The universities have specialized athletics, dividing the student-body into two unequal classes, the small who “go out for athletics win places on the teams, and become campus heroes, decorated with Block C’s and S’s, and the great majority who sit as spectators, make bets on the outcome, and on thrilling occa¬ sions get some out-of-door exercise through the medium of cheering. The high schools in the past have taken all of their practices in athletics straight from the college campus, even to the extent of employing paid coaches to make specialists of their teams. The editors of the Sports Department of the daily papers help on the process to the full limit of their great powers. The same relation of copying from the colleges has been shown in nearly all of our high school activities. The high school editors endeavor to print bi-weekly or weekly papers modeled upon the college press. Each year or term must show an “Annual” with illustrations and write-ups of school activities in the same manner as the university year-books. In debating and dramatics again the high school has been a borrower, the main ambition of the students concerned being to carry on something as nearly on the college plan as their resources will permit. The object of these paragraphs is not so much to lament the failure of our youth of high school age to be original, to invent and develop ways of their own, instead of copying, as it is to raise the question whether or not the borrowing process is to be carried one step further. Is this Junior High School to form its student habits upon the model of the Senior High School ? To continue the copying process one step further down will certainly be a public calamity. All those in charge of the Junior High Schools should actively seek to realize something better. Surely the needs and capabilities of boys and girls from eleven to fourteen years must require activities materially different from the proceedings of the university students. The problem of the Junior High School should be to lay a new foundation: to proinde athletic sports in which all Tage 41 for June 1922 participate, and a love of which will enter permanently in the lives of all, to pro¬ vide school activities that will offer the widest possible field for personal initiative and individual development; in short, to adapt the school in reality to the period of youth of its members. One might go on at length to forecast the possibilities for the Senior High School, when its students come to it not already schooled in the pretenses and the vanities of adults, but with the vigor of life and zest for explorations and im¬ provement which properly belong to their age. Our already long list of school activities would be undiminished, in number, but the way would be opened for their development not toward the object of duplicating the college practices, but toward the invaluable object of making the most of them for all the students of this secondary high school period. With all of these improvements worked out in foundations laid in the high school years, there may appear even the dawn of a new and better age for the universities, a fuller and richer life for all the citizens of California. How “The Lowell” Was Begun After the lapse of nearly a quarter of a century it seemed very appropriate to re¬ quest Mr. Monroe E. Deutsch, the editor of the original “Lowell” magazine, to contribute to the “Annual.” Mr. Deutsch is now a professor in the Latin Depart¬ ment of the University of California. The request reached Professor Deutsch at the busy season of the year, and he did not feel that he could take the time to write an article. His letter, recalling our first entrance into the field of publication is given below: My dear Mr. Firenze: It would give me much pleasure to comply with your request, but the shortness of the time, together with the fact that I have not been at all well make it impos¬ sible to do so. I remember with much pleasure our efforts in 1897-1898, which resulted in the issuance of the first volume of The Lowell, some five numbers, in the spring term of 1898. It is pleasant to think that the publication founded twenty-five years ago is now a thriving and firmly established journal. May The Lowell continue its life and its success! With all good will, Cordially, Monroe E. Deutsch. The question of beginning a school publication was anxiously considered by several members of the Faculty and representative students. Arguments for and against the proposal were given at length. The head of the English Department at the time, Mr. A. E. Kellogg, was quite undecided in his own mind. On the one hand he saw clearly the opportunity for improvement in writing presented by get¬ ting compositions into type on the printed page. On the other hand there were Tage 42 The Lowell fears as to whether students could be depended upon to meet the responsibility, and doubts as to whether student editors would be equal to their duties. The finan¬ cial risk was also a great one. The student body was unorganized. There was no school treasury that could guarantee the proper financial support. However, the more hopeful opinion prevailed, the venture was taken, and the school has never had occasion to regret it. Another question that received much attention when the plan of a school pub¬ lication was proposed was its name. The name “The Lowell” has become so familiar to us that one can hardly realize now that it should ever have been a mat¬ ter of debate. Yet such it was. The writer cannot recall all of the suggestions made at the time, only that the final choice lay between “The Lowell” and “The Red and White,” the latter, of course, being taken from the school colors which had been adopted in some much earlier period. Again we may all feel sure that the better decision was made, “The Lowell” being the more dignified of the two names and surely equally distinctive. hor the control of the new publication an elaborate system of class representa¬ tion was established. Every registry class sent representatives to a Managing Board which had the power of electing the editor and the business manager, and of determining the number of assistants that each might appoint. The theory at the beginning was that the editor and the manager should be chosen from the assist¬ ants of the previous term; the idea being that in this way these positions would always be filled by students who had had actual previous experience. The repre¬ sentative plan did not work very successfully, but it did develop some very spirited displays of oratory, when the time came for the nomination and election of chief editors by the Managing Board. Later, on the general organization of the student body, the control of “The Lowell was taken over along with other school activi¬ ties by it. This account of the beginnings of our school publication should not be closed without a word of acknowledgment of the careful attention given to it in the early years by Mr. A. E. Kellogg and, afterwards, by some other teachers in turn. Mr. Kellogg’s practice was to publish in each “Lowell” a most careful and de¬ tailed criticism of the previous number. This included matter of choice of words, form of sentences, and paragraph structure, as well as advice on the general plan and character of every article from beginning to end. It is not possible to say just how much benefit the Lowell contributors derived from 1 the criticism, but it is certain that Mr. Kellogg gave them the fullest possible opportunity for steady improvement. Lowell’s Alumni Association A. DOUGLAS MENNIE President Education is one of the greatest factors of modern world advancement, and is something which is within compara¬ tively easy reach of every one. We, who have educational institutions at our door, probably do not realize how fortu¬ nate we are, until we take into consideration the great distances traversed by foreign youths who come to attend our schools and colleges. Everyone, man and woman alike, is interested in educa¬ tional work and its advancement. And should not we who are the Alumni be more especially interested in the school from which we ourselves received our knowledge and our training? And so it happens that we are. There is something which holds us closely to our Alma Mater, and that is the love for the school, the halls of which we once trod, the activities of which we were once active participants and the members of the faculty we count among our closest friends. School spirit is a wonderful thing and some¬ thing not fully appreciated until we are no longer in its environs. The Lowell High School Alumni Association was formed with the inten¬ tion of binding together all of Lowell’s graduates who were desirous of asso¬ ciating themselves with an organization of this kind. Needless to say, our member¬ ship is quite large and very representative. Many names prominent in civic life are on our roster. A strong alumni is a valuable asset to a school and a community and there is no reason why Lowell should not have a powerful association. We vitally need the support of each and every member of Lowell High School and we want the membership of every graduate student. We cannot too strongly urge upon you the importance of joining the Alumni, as it is the only means of coming together with your friends year after year. You are going to miss your high school friends after graduation, and it is good to know that our reunions will bring you all together again and again as time goes on. A. Douglas Mennie, President. Tage 44 T he Lowell A Suggestion In the heart and home of the graduate, The Lowell is held in high re¬ gard, because it is the history of his friends and of his school. He is ever referring to those happy days and halls which he learned to love through four short years of pleasant associations; he needs but turn the pages of his care¬ fully-kept Annuals to recall the familiar faces of his schoolmates. We who are about to graduate are already diligently employed in taking our Annuals from the attic to the parlor. This constant and affectionate use of The Lowell, which, like infirmity, in¬ creases with age, prompts us to suggest that a standard dimension be adopted for this publication, to the end that our collection of “Lowells’ may be neat and attractive. Such an arrangement is possible and highly to be desired. It should be discussed immediately, for it is a duty we owe, not so much to ourselves, as to those who are to follow us. To Adorn Our Auditorium and Encourage Scholastic Effort The “June ’ 22 ” has solved the problem! We believe that at last we have found a way of beautifying and lending a distinctly classical and scholastic atmosphere to Lowell’s most bleak and des¬ olate room—something decidedly artistic and original, worthy of a truly patriotic and progressive American high school. To procure a bronze statue of Lowell would be a mere matter of semesters for such a spirited school as ours, if a certain percentage of our dues, and it need not be so great as to cause even the slightest inconvenience, from dances, sales, and from publication profits were consistently set aside for this project. We are certain that a special “Lowell Day’’ for this purpose would be popular with the students. This acquisition need not be immediate — rather let the amount gather for several terms, so that the statue may be that much more splendid and im¬ posing. A statue “in the round,” of true artistic merit, set upon a magnificent ped¬ estal or elaborately-carved console would make our auditorium vibrate with Appropriateness. It would be something useful and lasting, as greatly appre¬ ciated by visitors as by students. And as an encouragement to endeavor, what could be more “apropos” than to place under this American scholar a bronze tablet upon which could be inscribed in dignified Cloister Text the names of students who met with fixed scholastic requirements? We hope that the Class of December ’22 will act upon this suggestion, and that the classes that follow will “carry on,” until this bust and tablet shall grace our auditorium. for June 1922 Tage 45 ETTORF S.

The government of Lowell is vested almost entirely in this organization. If a dance or rally is to take place, if Lowell is to participate in any interscholastic game, if a sum of money is to be appropriated, if an election is to be held, it is effected by the Executive Committee. In short, this body by definition of its powers by the Lowell High School Cons titution is our most powerful and responsible organization. The one pictured above has successfully taken care of Lowell’s welfare dur¬ ing the last semester. To the unified efforts of the real Lowellites that compose it, and especially to the patient and ever-helpftil co-operation of its faculty members, we may well extend our sincere thanks and undying commendation. for June 1922 Tag 53 Top Row: MILLER, BROOKE, YABO, ANDERSON, SHERMAN (R.), SHERMAN (J.), GUTIERREZ Third Row: FALK, MAYO, CHINITZ, WIHR, BRISTOW, DOTY, PF.RF.YRA, SALMON (L.), CROCKER Second Row: CANTOR, MISS PEINI, MISS BIRCH, MISS NEPPERT, MISS McCONNON, MISS CONOVER, CREAGH, SALMON (L.), LYONS First Row: TOYE, SCHWARTZ (A.), SPIEGELMAN, STEINBERG, GOLDSTEIN, SIPRELLE Lowell’s Orchestra It is enjoyable to hear our orchestra add variety and pleasure to an assembly program—there is no doubt of that. Do you ever stop to consider the hours of practice that have been devoted to the piece which is smoothly rendered for your benefit in five or six minutes? And yet, have you ever heard a word of complaint from the students composing that orchestra? Such devotion and sacrifice shows true Lowell Spirit, and if that Spirit were in evidence elsewhere as much as it is in our orchestra, Lowell High School would be a much better school. Credit in particular is due to the officers for this term, viz.: Gus Smith, Pres¬ ident; Floris Leathers, Vice-President; and Norman Wihr, Secretary. To Miss Neppert we give our sincere thanks for her success in making the Lowell High School Orchestra the best in San Francisco. Tage 54 The Lowell Back Row: SPIEGELMAN, MISS O’MALLEY, MR.

We view these posters, read their message, and walk away without realizing the hours of diligent toil the mem¬ bers of the Poster Staff have given to the making of them. The Poster Staff is an organization whose members are students willing to devote their time and skill to this work. Since its reorganization the Poster Staff is more a class than a club. It meets three periods a week during school time and its members are ably instructed by Mr. Seawell. Miss O’Malley, Miss Hermann and Mr. Dakin, faculty advisers, have given many valuable suggestions. The officers, Armando Pereyra, President, and Dennis Mahoney, Secretary- Treasurer, are largely responsible for the splendid work of the class this term. for June 1922 Tage 55 Back Row: LERCARI, STOLL, FRAZIER, PATTERSON Front Row: Miss McCULLOCH, Miss O’BRIEN, PETRIE, Miss LARSON, Miss TRACE The Rally Committee I n every organization there are those who, although they do not take an active part in them, are largely responsible for the success of all the enterprises under¬ taken by it. Lowell’s Rally Committee is composed of such persons. They are to be credited with the arrangement and production of the stunts and programs you have seen this semester. Until one is an actual member of a similar committee or takes part in a stunt, little does he realize the sacrifice of time, energy, and recreation entailed. It would be difficult to adequately thank the members of the Committee: Edna O’Brien, Audrey McCullough, Eloise Larson, Dorothy Tracy, George Petrie (Chairman), Horatio Stoll, Louis Lercari, Clarence Frazier, William Maguire, and the faculty members. The satisfaction of knowing that they have been responsible for the worth¬ while rallies of the term, and the pleasure they have given are their best payment.

With true Lowell spirit the students made possible the most success¬ ful Ad Drive ever completed at Lowell. The Low Freshmen, captained by Melville Threlkeld, won the Drive. Roy Bar- sotti ' s Sophomores brought in enough ads to figure a close second. The captains of the committee were: Angus Hornblower, Denis Mahoney, Leonard Schwartz, Albert Knowles, Roy Barsotti, Edward Morgen, Louis Jenkins, and Melville Threlkeld. Special thanks are also due to Manuel Spiegelman for his posters. Paul Bissinger, chairman, may be accredited with much of its success. Paul Bissinger, the business manager of both Lowell publications, has been a consistent and energetic worker. He leaves behind him an enviable and unprece¬ dented record, having collected the formidable sum of $1450 in the Ad Drive alone. The student body also owes deep gratitude to Mr. Leroy H. Stephens, who advised the committee in all matters requiring that experience and sureness of judgment inherent in him. Dance Orchestra Lowell syncopators have invariably compared more than favorably with all contemporaries. Last term’s dance orchestra was not an exception to that state¬ ment, as all who have had the pleasure of hearing it or dancing to its music will acknowledge. Seemingly insurmountable obstacles, due greatly to the loss of experienced members through graduation, were overcome by the splendid plan of obtaining a faculty advisor. For such a position no one was better qualified than Mr. T. A. Smith. He was duly elected, and gladly agreed to help the fellows out of their diffi¬ culties. How creditably he accomplished this purpose may be measured by the marvelous success of the orchestra throughout the term. At a meeting, held early in the semester, Llewellyn Forrest was elected leader. The final selection of Lowell’s musicians was Frank Lovett, banjo; Bill Sesnon, saxophone; Llewellyn Forrest, piano; Lee Raymond, drums; Fred Moore, trom¬ bone ; and last but by no means least, “Cockie” Myers, saxophone. Harmony, co-operation, and patient practice by the dance orchestra and the untiring attention of Mr. Smith were the factors responsible for the remarkable success of our Lowell’s Dance Orchestra.

C. conform closely to the stand¬ ards of the United States Army. However, membership is entirely voluntary and involves no obligation to perform military duties outside the school. I ' he benefits to be derived from membership in the R. O. T. C. are almost in¬ numerable. We are taught truthfulness, loyalty, manliness and duty to self. State and Country. The faculty of Lowell greatly appreciates the value of the R.O.T.C. as a recognized activity of the School. Promotions to cadet grades from Corporal to Major are offered to those found most proficient in military duties and in High School studies, generally. At pres¬ ent the Lowell Rattalion is completely officered by students. 1 he success of our Battalion is due to the loyal support of its members, and also in no small measure to the policies and personal influence of Major Overton, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. He has been assisted in his work by the Lowell instructors, Captain Adams, U. S.

The club was divided into three sec¬ tions—Drama, Poetry and Short Story. Miss Elizabeth Riddell, as Chairman of the Drama Sec¬ tion, has presented “The Pioneers,” “Two Crooks and a Lady,” and “By Ourselves.” Miss Audrey McCullough, as leader of the Poetry Section, offered selections from Long¬ fellow and Stevenson, with the addition of some humorous poems. Among the short stories given under the supervi¬ sion of Marvin Park were some from Poe and Kipling. Instead of a single play this term, two one-act plays were presented, entitled “Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil,” by Stewart Walker, and “Their Anniversary,” by Alice C. D. Riley. The proceeds of the two performances went to the R. O. T. C. for the purpose of buying new band instruments.

Only those who belong to the Society or who have had places on the team can have any appreciation of how greatly the marked success of debating at Loweli. this semester has been due to the ability, energy and unstinted help of Miss de Laguna. Words fail to frame a fitting tribute to her unselfish interest. George Keefe, President; Rowena Ferguson, Vice-President; Milton Morris, Secretary; Janies Healey, Treasurer; William McDonnell, Representative, are the officers of the Club. The dissolution of the San Francisco Debating League the term previous made the holding of debates a question. But the Society solved the problem by challeng¬ ing the high schools of Santa Cruz and San Jose. The challenges were accepted and in the debate with Santa Cruz, Lowell won both sides of the question. Her representatives were Alfonso Zirpoli and Stanley Weigel, affirmative at Lowell; Newton Zobel and Merrick Creagh, negative, at Santa Cruz. This publication goes to press before the San Jose debate. Our representatives are Stanley Weigel, Alfonso Zirpoli, negative, at Lowell, and William McDonnell and Benjamin Weiner, affirmative, at San Jose. While the foregoing debates were being arranged, the San Francisco Debating League was reorganized and a debate between Girls’ High and Loweli. was sched¬ uled. Newton Zobel, Merrick Creagh, John Hainan and Alfonso Zirpoli will be Lowell’s team for this debate. The Lowell The Cafeteria Lowell’s C afeteria is student managed and owned. It is run just as any representative commercial one. At lunch time students desiring a hot and substantial lunch secure a tray and choose from hot soup to ice cream. When the cashier hands them the check, they know that they have not been overcharged, for the “caf” is not run merely for profit. Students are employed in the “caf” and, for their service, receive their lunch. They have shown themselves to be efficient and capable. The “caf” does a daily business of about $ 200 . The profits, if any, are turned into the school treasury or, more often, are invested in improvements. Any cafeteria requires cooks, food for cooking, utensils, equipment for serving, banking facilities, cash registers, and patronage. Every one of the above details is efficiently taken care of by the students themselves, and they have carried the “caf” through one of its most successful terms. At the same time they have learned much of business and of business methods. Arthur Dakin, manager of the cafeteria, deserves much credit for its suc¬ cess. Thanks are due to Miss Lacoste, Miss Varney, Miss Whelan, and Miss Bowman for their interest and help. Recognition is also due the students, who, with Miss Whelan, counted and rolled the money. Nor would it do to omit to express our appreciation of the work of Mrs. Thill and her co-workers, who have always given us excellent service.

SAN FRANCISCO Custom House—1845 h OTHER ORGANIZATIONS The Court Committee Jr , r i m ANGUS HORNBLOWFR Chairman MISS VESTA SUTTON Chairman T he improvement of the court, inspired by Miss Lacoste and undertaken by the Class of December ’ 21 , naturally fills every true Lowellite with pride. This beautiful court is in fact one of our latest acquisitions. It is a place of charm and color enclosed be¬ tween somber walls. The plants and flow¬ ers which grace it have been chosen so that there might be blooming flowers there all the year ’round. All Lowellites should ap¬ preciate the fact that the court is theirs, and should realize that their duty as proprietors of it is to keep it in perfect condition. They should co-operate with the various committees in keeping it free from defilement and uncleanliness. As members of the regular court staff, the following boys deserve the grati¬ tude of the school: Angus Hornblower, Roy Barsotti, Edmund Brown, Wil¬ liam K. Jenkins, Albert Meilette, Albert Knowles, Milton Protopappas, Fred Niemond, and Albert Wilson. These boys have watered and weeded the garden daily. There is another committee composed of one girl from every registry room and headed by Miss Vesta Sutton, which has especial charge of cleaning the court of paper and rubbish. This committee, too, deserves the commendation of the student body. The court has been given over to the girls for their exclusive use for tennis, volley-ball, and other kinds of recreation, with the injunction not to injure the young plants and shrubs growing there, which, though they seem small and insignificant now, will, in a few years, adorn the court with a wealth of beauty and fragrance. THE CAMERA CLUB To the Camera Club is entrusted the task of recording Lowell’s activities in graphic form. The Club is composed of student photographers, who meet once a week to discu ss photography and to exhibit their work. Tagete The Lowell The pictures and snapshots adorning these pages were taken by Camera Club members. Miss O’Malley and Mr. Kast, the faculty advisers of the club, are responsible for much of the splendid success achieved by it. Credit is also due the officers: Arthur Dakin, President; Oliver Willard, Vice-President; and Morris Robinson, Secretary. Donald Brophy deserves special commendation for his consistent and successful work for the present Annual. THE STAMP CLUB The Stamp Club has completed its most successful term. Assemblies were marked by good attendance, enthusiasm, keen interest, and real enjoyment. Dur¬ ing no previous term have there been so many interesting lectures, stamp exhibi¬ tions, and prize contests. Lowell Stamp Club has received favorable attention due to the publication of a unique book which gives the history of the coats of arms of various countries. The book was composed, written, and edited solely by Stamp Club members. Credit for the marked success of the club goes to Philip Fisher, President; Beuhrer, Vice-President; Peuri Berthiaume, Secretary; Francis Carmody, Pub¬ licity Manager; and to John Golden and Francis Moshua, Sales-Agents. THE RADIO CLUB During the past term the Lowell Radio Club has more than tripled its previous membership. In keeping with the enlargement of the club, a new constitution has been adopted and the meetings have been lengthened. Courses on elementary radio theory and construction have frequently been given, and are usually accompanied by practical demonstrations. At the close of the meetings the members adjourn to enjoy a radio concert with the aid of a magnavox. The Club has received recognition from the daily papers in which appeared a full account of its organization and activities. Mr. Alvin Robertson, Faculty adviser; J. Zobel, President; D. Carpenter, Vice- President ; A. Kanzee, Secretary; H. Madden, Sergeant-at-Arms, were the officers of the club during the last term. THE MUSICAL CLUB The Lowell High School Musical Club has, after only two years of effort, be¬ come one of our foremost organizations. The membership, consisting of active and associate students, is steadily increasing, which indicates its popularity. The purpose of the Club is not merely to discover proficient musicians but to stimulate an interest in good music. This is accomplished through interesting weekly pro¬ grams in which the lives and compositions of the masters are presented. The success of the Club is largely due to the faculty advisers: Miss Badger, Miss Neppert, and Mr. Tucker and to the officers: Emmet Rixford, President; Viola Luther, Vice-President; Florence Wilson, Secretary; and John Gorfinkel, Director. for June 1922 _ Tageb7 THE GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB I lie Girls Glee Club has just completed a very successful and enjoyable term under the helpful guidance of Miss Badger, who has taught its members the worth of co-operation. The officers for this semester who have faithfully worked with her are: Miss Alyce Hoffman, President; Miss Kathryn Boynton, Vice-President; Miss Ellen kassmussen. Secretary; Miss Ethel Boyer, Representative; Miss Isabel Boudreau. Music Club Representative; Miss Edith West and Miss Margaret Shearer, Librarians. THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB 1 he members of the Boys Glee Club receive credit toward graduation. The Club boasts a membership of thirty, under the efficient supervisi on of Miss Nep- pert, whose cheerful instruction makes the four periods a week seem almost too short a time. I lie Club is often called upon to furnish entertainment for the rallies and as¬ semblies, and when it; is known that they are on the program, every one looks forward to an enjoyable fifteen minutes or more. 1 he officers of the Club are: H. McNamara, President; H. Hallahan, Vice- President; A. Meillette, Secretary-Treasurer; R. Grubb, Librarian. THE BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club meets the ninth period every Thursday. After roll is taken the members usually go to the Academy of Science or to the aviary in Golden Gate Park to learn of bird and animal life from actual observation of living or stuffed specimens. The members deserve and receive credit toward graduation. Arnold Canton, President; Irving Rhine, Secretary, and Mr. Fender, Faculty adviser and instructor. The Club has completed one of its most successful terms. THE SALESMANSHIP CLUB Our Salesmanship Club has added to its regular course in Retail Selling the study of the art and methods of advertising. 1 lie enrollment in the class this term has been larger than ever before and practically all the students have obtained positions. More demonstration sales were held, and more outside speakers addressed the class than in the previous term. The class visited the offices of The Call and saw the entire process of producing a San Francisco daily. On tours through the larger department stores this term the pupils gained much practical knowledge and many suggestions which will be of value to them in their future work. THE OFFICERS’ AND SERGEANTS’ CLUB As the name implies, the Officers’ and Sergeants’ Club is composed of the Com¬ missioned Officers and Sergeants of the Second (Lowell) Battalion, Reserve Offi¬ cers Training Corps. e Lowe i. Tage 68 The purpose of the Club is to promote the efficiency of the R. O. T. C. Bat¬ talion. To accomplish this purpose, the Club meets at 12:15 p. m. on Wednesday of each school week and discusses various questions pertaining to the welfare and efficiency of the Battalion. Members are encouraged to express freely their views on the various questions submitted. The R. O. T. C. instructors are always present and usually give such information as they desire with reference to Drills, Inspections, and discussions. The officers of this Club are: Major Dakin, President; Captain Hensley, Vice- President ; Lieut. Wagnar, Secretary. THE R. O. T. C. OFFICERS’ FENCING CLUB Lowell now has the honor and distinction of being the only high school in the United States with a Fencing Club. It was formed through the suggestion and efforts of George A. Hensley, who also wrote the constitution. Its object is to pro¬ mote the proficiency of its members in the art of fencing. The Club meets and fences on Thursdays and Fridays in the Lowell Battalion Armory. The President has challenged the local Military Academies to matches. The Club has been favorably mentioned in a Bulletin issued from Ninth Corps Area Headquarters, by command of Major-General Morton. The officers are: Captain George A. Hensley, R. O. T. C., President; Captain G. Smith, R. O. T. C., Vice-President; Lieut. J. Curtis, R. O. T. C., Secretary; Captain J. P. Adams, U. S. A., Ret., Treasurer; Captain H. J. Flexsenhar, O. R. C., Sergeant-at-Arms; Captain S. P. T. Sorensen, O. R. C., Master-of- the-Sword; Major Arthur H. Dakin, R. O. T. C., Armorer. THE JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY The Junior Literary Society is one in which all Freshmen and Sophomores should be interested. The purpose of this Society is to educate its members in the lives and works of the reputable authors; to encourage and stimulate declamation and public speaking; to present educational and interesting programs; and to in¬ struct its members in parliamentary laws. Only first and second years students are eligible for membership. The officers of this Club are: Mervin Levy, President; Helen Flannery, Vice- President; Anita Isaacs, Secretary; and Edward Bransten, Publicity Manager. CAR-BOOKS Early in the spring of 19151 th e Lowell Car-book organization had its begin¬ ning. Before that time those who needed student transportation used to apply in person to the McAllister Street barns. Ever since that day the Car-book organization has been a great convenience in our school life. The scope of the business handled can be estimated from the ledger footings, which show an average sale of 491 books a week. The splendid success and efficient service recorded this semester are entirely due to the business ability of Roy Barsotti, the student manager, and to the careful supervision of Mr. Ernest Cummings, the faculty adviser.

Tage 76 ¥ he Lowell Baseball Baseball this term proved to be a grave disap pointment to those interested in this sport. The team, composed chiefly of last year’s vet- terans, seemed unable to hit its stride. Al¬ though, as this goes to press, the season is not yet over and several games remain to be played, Lowell seems again doomed to third or fourth place. During the practice season, the Red and White team met about six rival institutions, and was defeated each time, except at San Mateo, where it won by a 17-to-4 score. Coach Knollin hoped the men would finally settle down and get going in real baseball style, but, somehow, this did not come to pass. LOWELL 2—STANFORD FROSH 6 The first game the team played was with the Cardinal babies, and they played a very good game, considering the strength of the Stanford team. Errors were our downfall in this game, as Nounan was pitching in great form and no one could touch him. LOWELL 17—SAN MATEO 4 It was a great day for the team when San Mateo was defeated. The fellows played like real leaguers. The Red and White batsmen had things all their own way, and heavy hitting was the order of the day. A couple of bunts gave San Mateo her runs, which should never have been scored. LOWELL 6 —OAKLAND TECH. 7 As usual, the Oakland Tech, team was a very good one, and succeeded in defeating our boys after a hard game. Poor fielding cost us victory in this game. LOWELL 7—SANTA CLARA PREPS 8 This was a real hard-luck game for Lowell, for, after holding the Preps to a 7-to-2 score for eight innings, Nounan injured a finger and had to leave the box. Hal Joyce then stepped into the pitcher’s box and allowed a couple of bingles, which, together with some bad fielding, due to the muddy field, netted the opponents six runs, giving them the game. LOWELL 2—BERKELEY 6 At the end of the second inning the score stood 6 to 2 in favor of the Red and Gold. Nounan then pitched the game of his life, allowing not a single hit CHARLES BUCHANAN Captain Tage 77 for June 1922 from then till the end of the game. The Lowell batsmen were no more success¬ ful than their opponents, however, and the game ended with Berkeley four runs to the good. LOWELL 0 —LETTERMAN GENERAL HOSPITAL 9 Our team met an experienced aggregation in the soldier team and was well defeated. Our batsmen got but two hits, and were completely outclassed by their opponents. This was the last game of the practice season, and needless to say, was not a very encouraging one. S. F. A. L. SEASON LOWELL 6 —SACRED HEART 9 The team made a bad start in the S. F. A. L., when Sacred Heart, who was not conceded much chance of winning, defeated the Red and White in the first game of the series. The loss of Tapson at short and Maguire in the out¬ field were hard blows to sustain just before the game, and the defeat incurred was no doubt greatly due to this. Our team was caught in a bad slump at this time, and the defeat was the first of a series which lasted throughout the season. LOWELL, 8 ; COMMERCE, 6 With Tapson’s place filled alternately by Cook and Rankin, and with Maguire back at left field, the team put over a winning game on what was supposedly the strongest team in the league. Castignetto and Weisbart did some keen hitting for the Red and White and added greatly to the score. This victory only proved our old suspicion that Lowell’s team was not a con¬ sistently playing one. It was another case of de¬ feating a good team just after losing to an in¬ ferior one that Commerce had beaten. The moral effect of this game was considerable, and bolstered up the falling spirits of the men for the Poly game. LOWELL, 1; POLYTECHNIC, 4 Poly, on her mettle by the defeat on the pre¬ vious Saturday of both her track teams at the hands of Lowell, came out to win, and did. Our team was outclassed and outplayed by a su¬ perior team. Nounnan pitched well, but the breaks were against us and we couldn’t win. Since losing the statue held by the champion¬ ship team in the memorable game of 1919, Lowell has been unable to put over a win. With the veterans of this year’s team that re¬ main, Coach Knollin ought to be able to build up a team that will bring us the 1923 champion¬ ship and return the statue to the school. RICHARD PATTERSON Manager Page 78 The Lowell MEMBERS OF 1922 BASEBALL TEAM CHARLES BUCHANAN (Captain) “I3uch” has been on the team four years and is a heady player who will make a name for him¬ self in college. His playing has been consistently good all season. RICHARD PATTERSON ( Manager) Dick showed the critics what a steady center gardener should be like. His hitting improved one- third over last year’s; his fielding was almost excellent. WILLIAM MAGUIRE The old slugger sure slugged this year. Putting him at cleanup was a wise move. In fielding flies he ranked with the best. Another season ought to find “Mac” a finished high school outfielder. SIDNEY WEISBART Sid ranked with the best of the third-sackers. It was Sid’s bat that won the Commerce game with a four-ply swat to center. A more consistently good hitter could not be wished for. Other teams, beware, next year. LOUIS JENKINS At first it was thought “Louie” would be our regular left-fielder, but Maguire’s experience kept him on the bench. ELMER GAETJEN Elmer did not get into many of the games, but he deserves credit for his willingness to help when needed. CHARLES BUCHANAN RICHARD PATTERSON LOUIS JENKINS WILLIAM MAGUIRE SYDNEY WEISBART ELMER GAETJEN for June 1922 Tage 79 JOHN CASTAGNETTO JOHN MO 8fi FORREST RANKIN MEMBERS OF 1922 BASEBALL TEAM JOHN CAST AGNETTO John was the fastest man in the league going down to first base and was right up among the heaviest hitters. Our right-field garden was well taken care of. JACK NOUNNAN Curses! That one fault, lack of control, has kept many a man down. Outside of that, a better array of faskballs, curves, sput¬ ters, and fade-aways never floated up to the maskman. JOHN MORSE Everyone says you have to be good to hold Nounnan. If you do, then Johnny is. Resides this, his hitting scored many a needed run. This is Johnny’s last year. EUGENE FULTON Gene was one of the mainstays behind the bat, showing well whenever called upon to receive Nounnan’s twisters. He ought to catch all the games next year. FORREST RANKIN “Foss” switched from first to short to take Tapson’s place. He did well enough, altho’ Danny’s shoes were hard to fill by an in¬ experienced man. “Foss” batted the old horse-cover for quite a few extra-bases. EDWARD NEWMAN A merry race for the first base position went to “Doc” because of his greater familiarity with the place. If his hitting improves next year, put “Doc” on the all- star. JACK NOUNNAN EUGENE FULTON EDW ARD NEWMAN “Page so The Lowell VAN HORN, SMITH, OHM. SPRINGER FREDERICK, HULL, TURNBELL First Team Substitutes T is said by those who know, that a team is as strong as its substitutes—for when it is necessary to replace a first-team player by one of the second team, the playing of the squad is either improved or impaired in proportion to that substi¬ tute’s ability. Not many changes were made once the S. F. A. L. series began. However, those who were fortunate enough to get their chance did not disappoint our ex¬ pectations. Cook measured very nearly to Weisbart’s efforts at third base, al¬ though his stick work was not so finished or consistent as the latter’s. Undoubt¬ edly he will be a regular infielder next season. Harry Joyce was not given many games to pitch, but he shows promise. With practice, he ought to be able to hurl successfully for Lowell next term. The other substitutes were: Outfielders—Allen Smith, Haynes Hull, John Springer, Harold Ohm. Infield¬ ers: Frederick and Turnbell. Tage 81 for June 1922 WALTER LIGHTNER MILTON MORRIS JAMES HANLEY Organized Rooting Lowell teams play to win for Lowell. They do this because they believe Lowell cares. By her rooting section Lowell shows that she cares—and how much. Yell Leader Milton Morris and his two assistants, James Hanley and Walter Lightner, have led the rooting section through a brilliant term. They de¬ serve credit for doing their work well. The girls were also well pleased with their Yell Leader, the position being ably filled by Marie Wil¬ son. Lowell has a reputation for good sportsmanship. Lowell does not “hand raspberries.” Lowell does not jeer the fumbles of her opponents. Lowell does not “drown out.” Lowell roots, and roots hard at the proper time. It should be our ambition to continue to maintain this record in the future. MISS MARIE WILSON ' Page 82 The Lowei.l The Swimming Team Oi all the records made in athletics this term, that of the swimming team is the brightest. The team was left rather depleted after graduation last term, and there were many, especially in the rival institutions, who believed that at last Lowell’s long line of consecutive victories would be broken. The interclass meet brought to light many promising swimmers. Jim Hanley in the breast stroke, Marshall Dunn in the 130-lb. class, Joe Smith in the plunge, Ivan Sullivan in dives and sprints, and “Babe’’ Hart in the distances were all discovered in this meet. This event must be conceded the most suc¬ cessful ever held at Lowell. The team then started practice and engaged in several dual meets that were not very successful. As the season progressed, the men began to realize that their chances of winning the S.F.A.L. were dubious unless some real practicing was done—and done in a hurry. The boys then got to work under the leadership of the officers, Don Brophy and Johnny Meyer. The results of the meet show how conscientiously the men worked. S. F. A. L. MEET LOWELL 58 LICK-WILMERDING 30 POLYTECHNIC 25 SACRED HEART 4 COGSWELL 3 Saturday, April 29, the Red and White mermen took the tank against the other high school teams of the city and emerged the victors by a margin of 28 points, their closest rival being Lick-Wilmerding. The first race of the day was the 50-yard Unlimited. Lowell rooters were on their feet and saw Hobdy of Lowell nosed out for first place by Crane of Lick. Sullivan of Lowell took a good third. Thus in the first race Lick was tied with Lowell, and her rooters went wild. The next race gave Lowell the lead; from then on, our championship of sixteen years’ standing was never in danger. Johnny Meyer and Marshall Dunn, both in the 130-lb. events, brought in a stack of points for Lowell. Meyer and Charlie Weiler of Poly put on two great races. The 50-yard event went to Weiler after a desperate struggle, but in the 150-yard, Johnny redeemed himself by obtaining first place. In the 220 and 440- yard events both went to Allen, who showed himself to lie a real dynamo of energy and of great endurance. As a point holder, Allen was the individual star of the DONALD BROPHY Captain ■Page 83 for June 1922 meet. He deserves a great deal of credit for defeating Kendell of Lick, although the latter started fresh in the 440, while Allen had just finished the 220 and was pretty well “all in.” In the 440 Schwartz of Lowell swam a fine race and placed third to Kendell of Lick, who took second. The breaststroke event was won by Lichtenberg of Lick as “dope” experts had predicted, but contrary to the aforesaid “dope,” Jim Hanley was beaten out by only one stroke for first place. Hobdy and Frazier swam in the backstroke for the Red and White and won a first and second, giving Lowell a substantial lead in points. Jerry Felton and Joe Smith took first and second in the plunge, although Fel¬ ton did not come up to his distances of previous terms. The dives never have been Lowell’s strong point, nevertheless Ivan Sullivan surprised everyone by taking third.

A new cup was added to Lowell’s collection by a team composed of Hobdy, Sullivan, Schwartz, and Allen. They contended for a cup offered by the Y. M. I. for a High School Swimming Relay Team. These men deserve special commendation as this required extra training besides their regu¬ lar team practice. JOHN MEYER Manager Tage 8+ 1 “ he LOWELL DONALD BROPHY JOHN MEYER JAMES HANLEY CHAMPIONSHIP SWIMMING TEAM DONALD BROPHY Poor “Don” trained hard all sea¬ son and then took sick with “flu.” However, his work as captain was very commendable and he did much to help Lowell win a victory. This is his fifth term on the team. JOHN MEYER “Johnny” managed the team very well this term and scheduled many outside meets. He trained hard to make weight, and proved his worth by winning the 150 from Wieler of Poly, after being defeated by him in the 50. GIRARD FELTON “Gerry,” the old reliable in the plunge, won as usual, this semes¬ ter, although, owing to an ad¬ verse current, he was unable to equal his former record. CLARENCE FRAZIER “Clink” was the “old dependa¬ ble” in the backstroke, taking second after a close race with Hobdy. He also swam in the relay. JOSEPH SMITH “Phat” threatened to beat Felton in the plunge, and shows the form which will probably break Felton’s record in meets to come, since Joe is only a freshman. JAMES HANLEY “Jimmy” glided right along into a second place in the breast stroke event, losing first place to Lichtenberg of Lick by about one stroke. He surprised everybody but himself. GERARD FELTON CLARENCE FRAZIER JOE SMITH for June 1922 Tage 85 CHAMPIONSHIP SWIMMING TEAM MALCOLM REISS “Binch” was all set to swim a fast race in the breast stroke, but was forbidden to swim by his doctor. LEONARD SCHWARTZ A mishap at the turn prevented “Len” from doing better than fourth in the 100, but he showed his grit by swimming against doctor’s orders and beating Mo¬ ran, his old rival, in the 440. ARDEN ALLEN “Duke” was a new man on the team this semester and proved to be a very valuable addition. To be first in the 220 and the 440 is no mean accomplishment. WIN 1 HROP HART “Babe” did his best! No more can be expected, and, altho he did not place, he deserved credit for trying. WARREN HOBDY “Moose” swam a good race in the 50-yard, and was just nosed out of first place by Crane of Lick. He also won the 5o-yard backstroke. IVAN SULLIVAN “Sulli” took third place in the 5o-yard, the 100-yard dash and in diving. He swam a great lap in the relay and gained a big lead for the Lowell team. MALCOLM REISS LEONARD SCHWARTZ ARDEN ALLEN WINTHROP HART WARREN HOBDY IVAN SULLIVAN ' Page 86 The Lowell The Unlimited Basketball Team Unlucky” is hardly the word to use when speaking of our unlimiteds. Starting on practically no founda¬ tion, Coach Voyne could not have been expected to put out a championship team, which would have made the cup the permanent possession of the school. It is too bad, and yet it is not to be inferred from this that there was anything wrong with the spirit of our men. Quite to the contrary, they made a name for themselves as the scrappiest bunch in the city. LOWELL, 12—LICK, 16. Our first S. F. A. L. game was with Lick, and our men were certainly off form. A team we should have beaten easily walloped us 16 to 12. Our forwards didn’t put in one basket and, in fact, both teams displayed very ragged shooting. Lowell Line-up and Points: Forwards: Patterson, Barnard, Williamson; Centers: Gaetjen (4), Levy; Guards: Frazier (6), Rankin (2). LOWELL, 16—POLY, 14. Our second game was with Poly, and what a game it was! We had a 2-point lead until the beginning of the second half, when Poly jumped to a 6-point lead. At this stage of the game boss Rankin and “Smoke” Francis had an argument, and as a result both were p ut off the floor. Lowell gained by this, for when Johnny Morse and A 1 Smith went in, the game certainly “gathered no moss.” Suffice it to say that we won, by a breath-taking rally at the finish, in which the two long shots by Patterson took most of the breath. Lowell Line-up and Points: Forwards: Patterson (6), Barnard, Frazier (2); Center: Gaetjen (8); Guards: Frazier, Rankin, Morse, Smith. LOWELL, 19—COMMERCE, 30. Although Commerce beat us 30 to 19, they knew they had been playing against somebody after we got through with them. It was simply a case of fight against class, and the class won out. We must have scared the “Bull-Dogs” though, when we rushed ahead 5 to o in the first few minutes. Lowell Line-up and Points: Forwards: Patterson (4), Frazier (2), Wil¬ liamson; Centers: Gaetjen (9), Frazier; Guards: Rankin (2), Morse, Smith (2). RICHARD PATTERSON Captain for June 1922 “Pag 87 MORSE, GAETJEN, SMITH, RANKIN, BARNARD LEVY, KNOWLES, WILLIAMSON, BRADLEY Here are the Boys Captain Dick Patterson—“Pat” not only led the team well by calling time¬ outs” at just the right moments, but he was a fine shot and the hardest fighting forward in the league. Clarence Frazier—“Clink” was easily the best player on the team, and prob¬ ably the best running guard in the league. Ralph Barnard—“Barney” and Frazier were the only left-overs from last year’s city “champs.” Elmer Gaetjen—Elmer was usually our high-point man. Forrest Rankin—At either running or standing guard, “Foss” fought like a wildman. John Morse—When the Kanaka was at standing guard they didn ' t shoot very close to the basket. Allen Smith—Whenever A 1 got in as running guard he played a whirlwind game. Herbert Williamson—“Herbie” was a speedy little forward. Edwin Levy—This big boy could usually get the jump at center. “Al” Knowles at guard and Worthen Bradley at forward did their stuff when¬ ever necessary. “Page 88 The Lowell BELASCO, BAILEY, McGOWAN, WIESBART, BUCHANAN OLMO, RAYMOND, TAPSON, VAN HORN, BACIGALUPI 1922 145-lb. Basketball Team This year’s “45’s” started the season with prospects for success as bright as could be desired. But some¬ thing was the matter on February 9th, the day they played Poly, and although they were leading at half¬ time, Poly just nosed them out at the finish with a final score at 15 to 14. If this game had come later in the season, our men could have won it decisively. The next game was with the weak Mission team on Feb¬ ruary 23rd; the final score was: Lowell, 29; Mission, 7. On March 3rd our men easily beat Cogswell 39 to 20, and the next week secured second place in the S. F. A. L. by defeating Lick 25 to 16. The members of the team: “Danny” Tapson (Captain).— Danny” played forward and was a wonderful shot, either from the field or foul line. Frank Bacigalupi.—“Batch” played running guard this season and made himself feared for his long shots. Donald McLean.—“Mac” played center for the 30’s last year, and showed his class at the same position this year on the 45’s. Ray Olmo.—Ray was an excellent forward, both for passwork and defensive play. Goony” Weinbart.— Goony” was a tough standing guard for any opponent to get around. Gene Van Horne (Manager) at forward, Lee Raymond and Belasco at standing guard, Charlie Buchanan at running guard, McGowan at center, all did their share of the work. DAN TAPSON, Captain Tage 89 1922 130-lb. Basketball Team WERNER, LATIMORE, HANLEY, SCALES, NIEMAND COOK, BARTHOLD, DkMARTINI, EHRMAN, CASTAGNETTO For early season prospects, the “45’s” had nothing on the “30’s.” Coach Voyne even considered it his best team, and yet it fared the worst of the three. But this belief was well founded, for these same “30’s” that were utterly routed by Commerce and Poly by scores of 53 to 23 and 38 to 6, respectively, had earlier in the season held down the Stanford “30’s” to a victory by a margin of only one goal, which came in the very last moments of play; and that with three of the best play¬ ers absent. They partially redeemed themselves on March 3rd, when they won from St. Ignatius, 38 to 29. The men themselves: Aubin Barthold (Captain).—Aubin played at forward aubin barthold in the S. F. A. L., and showed a good knowledge of the Captain game. William De Martini (Manager).—“Wop,” our center, was only about three yards long, but had enough fight for five. “Al” Werner.—“Al” was the other forward, and did most of the shooting. John Castagnetto.— Casty” played well at running guard, and, in addition, had quite a bit of luck in shooting. Fred Niemand.—“Cocky,” at standing guard, always furnished plenty of thrills. “Benny” Cook, running guard; “Bud” Ainsworth, forward; Fred Ehrrnan, standing guard; “Pussy” Latimore, forward; “Val” Scales, center, and Jim Hanley, running guard, comprised the rest of the team. for June 1922 “Page go The Lowell Championship Unlimited Track Team T he most pleasant surprise of the team occurred on May 6, when the Lowell unlimited track team brought the championship, lost three years ago, back to Lowell. Going on the field just after the weight team had won its victory, the unlimited team put on a great fight for initial honors, and, with the final result depending on the relay, the Red and White snatched the meet from Cogswell by i 1 3 points. During the practice season no one thought that the team had a chance to win, and Coach Voyne was very much downcast over the prospects. No dual meets were held, except with Fremont, in which Lowell was victorious. LOWELL-FREMONT MEET Lowell 733 2 Fremont 473 On April 8, in wind and cold, the team met Fremont at the Stadium and returned victorious with a score of 26 points. Lowell led throughout the meet, which was not a very thrilling one, though it furnished valuable training to the men. It was in this meet “Herb” Wil¬ liamson. a former weight man, discovered he could high jump and proved to be a “find” that staved oflf defeat in the S. F. A. L. meet. After the victory over Fremont the team settled down to hard work at the Park Stadium and began to round into condition. Even at this time no one expected the team to win, although Coach Voyne began to cherish “fond hopes” as he saw his men making great progress. S. F. A. L. MEET, MAY 6 Lowell went into the meet full of fight and ready to do her best. The team had Ralph Morris, star sprinter, back on the squad and to him they owed much for their success. Without any training Morris took first place in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. This team, too, met with misfortune. In the 440 some one knocked Forrest off the track and put him out of the contest, while in the 220-yard hurdles Morse, who was running neck and neck with Enos of Humboldt, in first place, hit the last hurdle and fell. Despite these losses, Lowell finished the meet with 36 points to Cogswell’s 34 2 i and Poly’s 34. Humboldt, Mission, Commerce, Lick-Wilmerding, and St. Ignatius finished in the order named. FORREST RANKIN Captain ' Page 91 for June 1922 Louis Enos of Humboldt was the star of the meet with 15 points while “Smoke” Francis of Poly was second with 13 points. He set a new record in the discus throw when he heaved the discus 124 ft. 3 in. This was the only new record made in the meet. Many surprises were furnished by Lowell men, among which were the per¬ formances of Stilson and Williamson. Stilson won the pole vault after not having touched the pole since breaking his wrist a year ago. The big surprise, however, was when Williamson cleared 5 ft. 6 in. in the high jump and beat out Epley of Poly, thus spoiling Poly’s chance of winning the meet. When the relay event came, Lowell, Poly, and Cogswell were all bunched in such a manner that whoever took first in the relay would also win the meet. Need¬ less to say, excitement was high, and as the starter’s gun cracked, the rooters of all three institutions were on their feet yelling as though they had gone mad. The superiority of the Lowell team was quite apparent after the first few laps, but, nevertheless, the competition was so close that no one could tell until just the last minute who would win. The real thrill of the meet came when “Foss” Rankin, running last lap, broke the tape and brought victory to Lowell. The rooters swarmed down from the stands and such enthusiasm as was shown was something new to our hard-working tracksters. The championship cup is again at Lowell, and let us hope it will remain here. For the second time in the history of the school, we hold both the weight and unlimited championships and it is an achievement well worthy of repetition. RESULTS 50 yards—100 lbs.—1.

F. A. L. and was an able captain. He will make a great sprinter with more training. MANAGER KEEFE—George overtrained last year and was forced to remain out of competition this year on account of the injury to his health. He was always on hand to help the men, however, and had no small share in the victory. WORTHEN BRADLEY—Worthcn ran the distances for the team and trained hard, despite a badly injured arm. IVAN SULLIVAN—Ivan was a new man on the team and did very well. He is a future star in the broad jump. JACK NOUNNAN—Jack tossed the spear for the team, but had little time to train on account of baseball. WALTER CRICK—Walt ran the low hurdles against a fast field and placed in his event. EDWIN LEVY—Levy heaved the discuss in great style and bids fair to be a second “Smoke” Francis. O’MALLEY—“Bill” was a new man and is a comer in the track world. JAMES WATT—“Jim” ran a close race to Morse in the high hurdles. LOUIS LERCARI—Louis threw the javelin and ran the 440-yard event. WILLIAM STILSON—Bill won the pole vault after nursing a wrist, broken last season, that prevented him practicing his event. He is a future pole-vaulting star. HERBERT WILLIAMSON—Herb placed third in the high jump and thus prevented Poly from winning the meet. LLEWELLYN FORREST—“Lew” was fouled in his 440-yard event and was robbed of the first place he no doubt would have won. He ran a great relay lap. LOUIS SOLOMON—Louis, a former weight man, ran the distances. MARCO HELLMAN—Marco will be a star miler be¬ fore he graduates. HOWARD CURTIS—“Curt” placed in the quarter- mile and was one of the mainstays of the team. ROBERT SCHWAB—“Bob” is a rapidly developing sprinter who will no doubt star next season. RALPH MORRIS—Ralph is the fastest prep school sprinter in the state. After being preevnted from training by an injured leg, he won the 220 and 100- yard events and tied the record in the 100-yard. JOHN MORSE—Johnny was a new discovery and ran a great hurdle race in both the low and high events. He hit the last hurdle in the 220 event ana was pre¬ vented from finishing a very close second. RALPH MEYERS—“Cockie” threw the discuss with small practice and did very well considering the cir¬ cumstances. for June 1922 Tog 93 Championship Weight Track Team For the fourth consecutive time the Lowell Weight Track Team won the championship of the S. F. A. L. Many veterans from last year’s team, reinforced by finds made in the inter-room and inter-class meets were molded into a very strong team by the able hand of Coach Harlan Dykes, a new man at school. LOWELL-COGSWELL MEET Lowell 60 Cogswell 77 Shortly after the first practice was called, a practice meet was held with Cogswell on March 30 at the Stadium. Due to lack of time to get into condition, the men were unable to do their best and were defeated by a 77-60 score. The meet was held in a driving rain and the results were very disappointing to the Loweli. team. However, the defeat did a world of good, for it succeeded in killing the feeling of over-confidence among the men, and caused them to buckle down to hard training. LOWELL-FREMONT MEET Lowell 85 Fremont 19 On Saturday, April 8, after a little training at the hands of Coach Dykes, the weight men met Fremont at the Stadium and gave the trans-bay team a beautiful drubbing to the tune of 85 to 19. By this time the men were beginning to round into real condition and our hopes of winning the S. F. A. L. championship began to brighten. LOWELL-POLY MEET Lowell 82 Poly 55 Poly, our closest rival this term on the cinder path, was met in practice at the Stadium on April 21 and was defeated by an 82-55 score. This was the best meet of the season and was a real test of the mettle of our team. The team was now in good shape and championship prospects loomed up very bright as the men settled down to the final grind before the S. F. A. L. meet. S. F. A. L. MEET At U. C. oval, on Saturday, May 6, the championship became a reality when the red and white team finished on the long end of a score. Poly was second in this SIMON ANNIXTER Captain Tage 94 The LoWELL meet, followed in order by Cogswell, Mission, Lick-W.ilmerding, Commerce, Sacred Heart and St. Ignatius. ithout exception the team made weight and took the field in perfect condi¬ tion although casualties soon befell many of our star performers. In the 130- pound class McGowan, who was counted on to set a new record in the high jump, was injured, due to incompetent handling of the event, and was forced into second place at a low height. A 1 Fest was forced to run in the relay after having collapsed at the finish of the 440. The 120-pound relay was ruined, for Peters sprained an ankle in the 75-yard dash and had to run regardless of his injury. The Iio-pound relay then came in for a share of the bad luck when Morris, who was running the last lap, was blocked by a man who dropped the baton and stopped directly in front of him. Despite all these misfortunes the team made enough points to offset the losses due to accident. Manager “Milt” Morris was the star for the red and white team and set a new record for the 75-yard dash when he covered this distance in 8 1 5 seconds. Sev¬ eral other new records were also set, but not by Lowell men. Mason of Mission broke the ioo-pound 50-yard record when he ran the sprint in 5 4 5 seconds: Martin of Poly set a new record in the 110-pound broadjump when he cleared 20 ft. 2 y 2 in.; Jukich of Cogswell set a new record for the shotput when he heaved the bullet 47 ft. 9J 4 in.; and Poly’s 120-pound relay team broke the record held by the Lowell team composed of Peters, McNaught, Protopappas, and McGowan, when they covered the half-mile circuit in 1.42 2 5. The meet was a great success taken as a whole, and Coach Dykes and his team deserve great credit for bringing home victory in spite of bad luck and close competition. 100 yards—1, Morris (L.); 2, Simi (L.-W.); 3, Mancuso (M.); 4, Rankin (L.).

Tennis is never fully appreciated by students at Lowell. This term they have won victory after victory with a new and inexperienced team. They entered the S. F. A. L. handicapped by the loss of three of their best players. As the tournament of the S. F. A. L. does not end until late, the final results cannot be recorded here, but as the matter now stands, Lowell has a good chance to break even with Poly. The practice meets were by far the most important this term. At the very out¬ set of the term the team journeyed down to the farm and defeated the Stanford Freshmen 4 matches to 2! The Stanford Frosh were not satisfied with one defeat, but arranged a return meet, in which they were again defeated 4 to 2. Oakland Tech was the next victim, and Lowell veritably swamped them, win¬ ning 6 out of 6 matches. And then there was the U. C. Freshmen meet, which resulted in a tie. The feature of this meet was the victory of Bob Seller of Lowell, height 5 feet, over Jaeger of U. C., height 6 feet 7 inches. The personnel of the team consists of Louis Heilbron, who was once State Juvenile Champion; Frank Dunn, a former Lick-Wilmerding star; Benjamin Gold, a very steady player; Elmer Gaetjen, who, although handicapped through lack of practice due to other activities, displayed rare skill in the S. F. A. L.; and James Harvey, a substitute, who shows the possibility of developing into a cham¬ pion. Rodrique and Seller were entered in the practice tournaments, but were not signed up because of studies. Louis Heilbron is to be commended upon his good work as manager this term, having arranged numerous meets and a successful inter-class. The following are the results of the S. F. A. L. tournament up to date. Results o n Saturday, May 13: Heilbron (L.) defeated Riley (S.H), 6—o, 6—1; Dunn (L.) defeated Kotta (L. W.), 6—4, 6—4; Gaetjen (L.) defeated Castro (L. W.), 4—6, 6—3, 6—4. The following Wednesday, Heilbron (L.) defeated Franklin (P.), 6—1, 6—2. On Saturday, May 20, Heilbron defeated Ashman (L. W.), 6—2, 6—2; Dunn defeated Kelly (M.), 3—6, 6—o, 6—1. For the championship of the 130 S. F. A. L., Heilbron (L.) defeated Dunn (L.), 6—o, 6—4. In the Unlimited Double Finals, Periolet and Rudi (P.) defeated Gold and Gaetjen (L.), 7—5, 6—4, after a hard match. Therefore, with one championship to Poly and one to Lowell, and two events to be played off, the outlook shows nothing but a tie for Lowell, as each school has one event practically cinched.

PYATT Baseball Baseball this term has not been as popu¬ lar a sport as was anticipated. With the exception of the Freshmen, no class turned out enough contestants for a full team. The three Upper Classes were combined into one team. We are hoping that the enthusiasm of the few who have practiced so faithfully this term will en¬ courage others to take up the sport next season, and that every class may be rep¬ resented. Baseball is one of the most exciting and one of the best sports for girls. Those who deserve special men¬ tion for individual skill and faithful prac¬ tice are: Upper Classmen—Elizabeth Allison, Dorothy Coggins, Mildred Levy, Golden West and Janet Wilson. Lower Classmen—Matie McLaren, Eliz¬ abeth Hoffman, Milada Budinsky, and Elma Coburn. for June 1922 ' Page 99 Fourth Row: M. STEUER, N. HOWARD, R. GOODALE, MISS SMYTHE, D. DUPONT, H. GREEN, J.

Each girl played every other contestant in her class, the one winning the most matches being chosen for First Singles and the next four, in order, for hirst and Second Doubles, respectively. In spite of the many interruptions to the game on the new tennis court, the girls, under the able instruc¬ tion of Miss Smythe, have kept up their interest in the sport. Spirited matches were played with other schools. Those composing the teams were: Seniors: Jennie Cohen, Janet Wilson, Cecile Doran, Emelie Dale, Audrey Chipps and Ethel Bovyer. Juniors: Ruth Goodale, Hilda Burque, Thelma Kern, Ethel Ohm, Golden West, Dorothy Tracy and Ruth Shapiro. Sophomores: Faye Chamberlain, Frances Haseltine, Henrietta Greene, Eliza¬ beth Allison, Mildred Levy, Barbara Allen and Dorothy Coggins.

The Freshmen entered into this game with their usual enthusiasm and won the first game from Mission High School. This sport, although recently introduced into the high schools, has rap¬ idly gained popularity with the girls and is now a general favorite. Under the successful guidance of Miss Newhouse, their much admired coach, the teams have developed wonderfully. Those composing the teams were: Upper Gassmen—J. Wilson, C. Reiss, C. Andrews, C. Togasaki, Z. Dupont, D. Dupont and E. Kirchner; Sophomores—M. Kerrel. A. Witt, T. Togasaki. F. Hazeltine, N. Greene, E. White, Dorothy Coggins and Elizabeth Allison; Freshmen—B. Lud¬ wig, A.

A number of girls have gone out regularly and worked hard to improve their skill, that they might compete to greater advantage in the two meets. There has not been a large attendance, but there has been a great display of enthusiasm among those going out for the teams. The swimming season ended with two meets, the first being a novice meet, and the second the interscholastic meet. Those deserving special mention are: Betty Satterfield, Anne Satterfield, Ethel Ohm, Dorothy Byington and Ora Cuneo. JUNE ' 22 EXTRA EXTRA The Kidder THE FIRST HUNDRED JEERS ARE THE HARDEST STARTLING DOCUMENT! f 1 1 1 1 1 MUCH OPPRESSED SENIORS REVEAL NOBLE GENEROSITY 1 1 1 THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, ’22 We, the class of June, ’22, being of sound mind and capable judgment, do hereby make this our last will and testa¬ ment, and do make the following dispo¬ sition of all our earthly property, to-wit: To the class o f December, ’22, we re¬ linquish all claims to the dignified title of High Senior.” To them also we leave those students (?) who, having spent four years with us, desire to remain longer.

Page 103 for June 1922 I, Betty Riddell, bequeath my ten lost fountain pens and my six missing Ever- sharps and my two strayed umbrellas to those individuals in whose possession they now are. I, Gerard Felton, feeling that I can spare a few pounds of my avoirdupois, do here¬ by confer them on Denis Mahoney.

Shades of Mohammed Abdur de Nut and the Thin Tower of Pisa! What’s going to become of this seething ball of inhuman¬ ity we live on? James Healy, Fiery Jim to his enemies, a worshiper of women? Unbe¬ lievable! Impossible! Why—almost . I can’t express it. Still, the evidence is enough. Ever since Fiery Jim Healy took up the cause of suf¬ frage among women it has been whispered about that some outside force was exerting its influence upon him. And to cap the whole thing, to confirm our doubts and misgivings, to prove to us that that force really existed, what happens? Just this. One of the members of our ward was tempted to peek into Fiery Jim’s desk and among his papers. Well, what’s wrong with that? Oh, don’t ask. You grieve us. What’s wrong, what’s wrong, we cannot tell. But looking up from their folded recesses were five—what do you call them? Ah, yes, suf¬ fragettes, five daughters of the serpent. That is not all. Hear, you other knights of the long trousers and dazzling neckties. See what suffrage has done to Fiery James Healy. No more will we listen to his ap¬ pealing eloquence as he paces the floor of the Senate. Nay, some Cleopatra will wake from slumber in the dead of night, and will see Fiery Jim pacing the floor with young Dionysius in his arms. And Jim will be using epithets of old. Ah, men, it’s a great life. Take this to heart. Beware the curse of the suffragettes. “THE KIDDER” (“Variety of opinion,” said Julius Caesar, “is the spice of life.”) A Senior’s Version Our paper we feel proud of, Despite this thing you see above. It’s columns, lines, are put together To stand all sorts of stormy weather. It’s purpose is to end the book, You witness here, by hook or crook. It is the wit of Senior Class, What think you, will it pass? A Teacher’s Version Good gracious, no! Not with that name You’ve got on top. Do take it off; put something there That will not make it lop. Oh, me! oh, my! how such a thing Was realized, is Conscience’ sting. It’s terrific, loud, and ev erything, By ding! —C. Buchanan. for June 1922 THE KIDDER Published by We. No use kidding, We are WE.

SOME STIRRING EDITORIALS ON THE LEADING QUESTIONS OF THE DAY Must Our Forests Go? Although we, the editorial department, know very little about our forests, we can¬ not help saying NO, most decidedly nix, they must not and shall not go. In other words, they must stay. In the words of some body, “Woodchopper, please don’t cut down that tree!” (Hurray for us!) Where Is My Old Lowell Spirit Tonight? We should say the “Old Lowell Spirit” is on the tongue of every orator who gets up to speak in Lowell’s halls or on her platforms. Stand Up, or Else Sit Down! We don’t know what to say on this sub¬ ject, except that it is obviously a decided advantage to sit down instead of standing up. It is much less tiring. Tage 105 to have no more editorials in any future class paper. Then the editor could get to bed earlier. MUST WE LOSE ALL OUR PRIVILEGES? This is a foolish subject for an editorial. We have no privileges in the first place, so how could we lose any? TICKLES If you can keep your head when all about you Are pretty girls; some making eyes at you; If you can think of them and do your les¬ sons And make allowance for their flirting too; If you can master love and mathematics And treat these weighty subjects just the same; If you agree with the teachers when they tell you That “dreams of love will ne’er lead to fame”; If you can calmly watch some other fellow Take home your girl because his car is new; If you can drive your Ford and keep from longing To break his head and own a Buick too; If you can wish him joy and really mean it, And say, “Old boy, you’re welcome to my girl;” If you can fill each blessed minute With only noble thoughts and deeds well done; You’re far too good for earth and all that’s in it; What’s more, you’ll be an angel soon, my son. Mollie—“I just saw an evening gown made entirely of feathers. How would you like to have one?” Chollie—“I’d just be tickled to death.” DRASTIC CHANGE ADVOCATED! Although we don’t know what the change is, or even what the word “drastic” means, we think a good change would be “Jim proposed to me last night.” “I’m not surprised. After I refused him last month, he said he didn’t care what be¬ came of him.” ' Page 106 OUR BUSINESS MANAGER “Bissinger,” I asked, “how did you make your first million for the ‘Artistic Annu¬ al’ ?” “How did I make my first million for the ‘Annual’?” he requestioned. “Exactly,” I admitted. Bissinger being a smart lad, quickly grasped my meaning after I had repeated the question only twenty-four times. “Well,” he said, “I promise all my adver¬ tisers that I will print their ad on the cover in gold. Then they subscribe right away, because business men are so un¬ selfish, you know.” Before I could say another word he said, “Get me an ad and I’ll put you on the staff.” Thus I became imbued with a strong de¬ sire to take his advice, but search as I might I was not able to “land” even a $2 classified ad. On my weary way home I met him standing on a street corner get¬ ting an ad from a peanut seller. “I’ve no luck,” said I. “You’re rotten,” said he. Giving him a cold, cold stare, I started to walk away, but he hurried after me. Ah, an apology,” thought I. But instead, he suggested, “Say, young fellow, have you ever considered the possi¬ bilities of a peanut seller for your life work ?” VITAL STATISTICS Florence Wilson used in all 3,134 excla¬ mation points (!) in the course of her “Out of the Chatterbox” series! Jack Nounnan has struck out 213,455 men! Editor Firenze has repeated the phrase “An Artistic Annual!” just 10,000 times! (You’ve got to admit it sounds fine!) On January 8, 1892, a Lowell student body president opened a yard rally without saying: Will you all please come closer to the front?” If the cigarettes smoked by Dick Patter¬ son during the basket-ball season were The Lowell placed end to end, they would reach to the nearest star and back again! Julian Borck has consistently skipped his first period classes for five years! Angus Hornblower has collected more than $500 from his classmates (and what’s more, he’s still popular)! In 1900 a freshman at Lowell discovered that the mark “D” could also mean “Dan¬ dy,” and since then the gag has been used approximately 1,500,201,013 times! (and then some). Sybil Muckle has 57 varieties of “that schoolgirl complexion” in her bureau drawer at home. In 1921, 97 editorials were written on The Old Lowell Spirit” and 206 speeches made on the same subject. Coach Voyne’s “thing” has done 50,000 miles! William Branstcn has giggled 5,214,333 times when he shouldn’t! In 1909 an editor of a class paper failed to take advantage of the fine opportunity it afforded him to “roast” his classmates, and was thereupon declared unsound in mind! (Which proves that somebody not so very far away ain’t unsound in mind.) I’ll be deviled, said the ham; I’ll be switched, said the train; I’ll be darned, said the sock; I’ll be stumped, said the tree; I’ll be blowed, said the horn; I’ll be hanged, said the picture; I’ll be damned, said the stream, as Felton fell off the bridge. Mary—“She seems to me kind of dove like.” Susie— Yes, she’s pigeon-toed.” Now we know why the recent history class is so partial to “The Review of Re¬ views.” We’ve seen those hosiery adver¬ tisements painted by Coles Phillips too. for June 1922 Tage 107 AS SHAKESPEARE HATH SAID IT Mr. Stephens— The kindest man, The best-conditioned and unwearied spirit, In doing courtesies.” Mr. Tucker—“How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties.” “Clink” Frazier — “I have touched the highest point of all my greatness.” F.dna O’Brien—“Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire.” Louis Lercari — “He hath a neighborly charity in him.” Dorothy Knowles—“I have remarked A thousand blushing apparitions To start into her face.” Angus Hornblower—“He wears the rose of youth upon him.” Audrey McCullough—“I never knew so young a body with so old a head.” Phillip Lawler—“I dare do all that may become a man.” Florence Wilson—“If ladies be young and fair, They have the gift to know it.” Tom Fallon and Ettore Firenze (Ye Edi¬ tors)— Take each man’s censure but reserve thy judgment.” Celie Doran—“I’ll speak in a monstrous little voice.” Norma Wallace—“I have no other but a woman’s reason, I think him so because I think him 1 SO. Frank Lovett—“I am slow of study.” Meridian Greene—“No hinge nor loop to hang a doubt on.” Wm. McDonnell—“He draweth out the thread of his verbosity Finer than the staple of his argu¬ ment.” Elizabeth Riddell—“I have no gift at all in shrewishness.” Arthur Dakin (Camera Bug)—“You look wise; pray correct that error.” Barbara Nourse — “There’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple.” Jack Nounan—“ will sing the sav¬ ageness out of a bear.” Kathleen Kilgariff—“O, I am stabbed with laughter.” Ted Morgan — “I am the very pink of courtesy.” Emelie Dale—“Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low, An excellent thing in woman.” Johnny Morse — “O, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength.” Rebe Brittan—“Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice.” Dick Patterson—“A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing!” Janet Wilson — “Think you I am no stronger than my sex?” Worthen Bradley — “He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one.” Peggy Shearer and Edith West, Inc.— “The play’s the thing!” Elise Mcany—“ As merry as the day is long.” Genevieve Duval—“In action how like an angel!” Milton Protopappas — “I’ll put a girdle ’round about the earth in forty min¬ utes.” Frances Durham—“I do not set my life at a pin’s fee.” Lawrence Landecker — “I am not only witty in myself, But the cause that wit is in other men.” Emmet Rixford—“My heart is true as steel.” “Doc” Meillette—“From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth.” James Healy— The strain of strutting chanticleer.” Charlotte Turner—“By heaven, she is a dainty one!” Viola Luther—“She taketh most delight in music.” Ramona Baker — “Nothing but what is kind.” Edna Knight—“A small but not insignifi¬ cant person.” ‘Page 108 T he Lowell ( [N SHE G-ere so MANY ' w A ' s THAT SHE DOESN ' T KNOW f K what To iya X THE ONLY SAFE WAT PON.
