THE LOWELLIAN S isrtorp of tlje Class of 1926 In the fall of 1922 when the class of ’26 first hoisted its spotless banner in the old battlefield of L. H. S., little did the soldiers realize that the road to victory was so long and rugged. A large company of jolly soldiers volunteered in this struggle for achievement, ready to sacrifice all for the sake of knowledge. The army was soon organized, and Keith was chosen captain to lead us through the first year. With Miss Ryan as commander-in-chief the plan of campaign was well worked out and everyone was eager to begin. Ac¬ customed as they were to a sedate civilian life, our soldiers found it hard to adjust themselves to the hustle and bustle of life on the battle ground. Many left our ranks, but as our numbers decreased our spirit grew. The 4th division was fighting in the background, but fighting valiantly. The next great battle was led by Ruth Iddings. The first year was spent mostly in adjusting ourselves to our military surroundings, but this year some actual fighting took place. Miss Booty was chosen as commander- in-chief, due to her famous ability as an advisor. Our soldiers had some des¬ perate enemies to conquer, Caesar and Geometry being two of the most exasperating. This year proved to us that all military undertakings require much hard fighting and skillful strategy. It was during the third great attack that we realized that we were nearing the front. With Sheri 11 Hayden as our commandant, and Mr. Buis as our strategist, we forged ahead, eager to see the day when we should go over the top. With our colors still bravely flying we fought poverty and suppression, and in spite of many casualties we advanced toward our goal. We sacrificed pleasures for our cause as only true soldiers do. Our banquet proved to all that the little class of ’26 was right there. At last, as seniors we have reached the firing line, where nature herself proved the theory of the survival of the fittest. The red and black sombreros, popping over the trenches spelled destruction for enemies, far and near. The great war is over! The victory is won. At last we have come to the end of the struggle with our supremacy firmly established. Are we worthy soldiers? Was it an individual victory? If not, we have fought in vain. We are proud of the conquest, but it is with a sad heart that we leave the old battle-ground, where we have spent the happiest days of our life. Sylvia Schutz, T.. H.

Issued Sometimes The Big Paper of the Year THE TATTLER Futuristic Organization, L. H. S. Volume LXXXV No. 1926 Mysterious Elopement Occurs Mr. Harold Lindemer Elopes With Librarian Following the strange disap¬ pearance of Mr. Lindemer and the librarian of Lowell Hi “after their elopement’’ report was re¬ ceived to this effect: “When last seen Mr. Lindemer wore a green suit, black shirt, red neck tie, orange shoes and cotton socks. He is six feet tall and two feet wide and weighs 182 pounds. His hair is parted in the center and goes all ways. The last person who saw the other person in the case said she had a pencil in her hand and was in the act of writing.” Any clue as to their whereabouts will be gladly received by. Mrs. John Lindemer Notice To Parents Owing to the poor grades being received by some of the pupils who are attending the local school, we will assign those who receive grades averaging below 78 percent to special preparatory schools. I)o you blame us? It is no more than right. No parent wants their intelligent children held back by the poor, lingering student who cares nothing for his future. Those who receive such poor grades are usually of ill character or mentally disabled. Parents, encourage your child to study and think of his future. Speak to him at once and thank yourself later. Mr. Keith Gordon-Prin. LIVING BY HIS WITS Bert Ewer who is a well known attorney at the municipal court, accompanied a client (Mrs. Geo. Clark) to the city prison to talk to her husband who was in prison. After talking to the prisoner, the woman, who was poorly dressed and appeared to be in dire circumstances, asked Mr. Ewer how much he would charge to try the case. Evidently thinking that- her means was limited he told her $5. However, when she drew out a fat roll of bills and began to hunt for a $5 bill, which concluded unsuc¬ cessfully because the smallest note she had was a $10 bill, he realized his mistake. To appreciate what followed, the reader must know that the court room of Judge Elmo Sprague is on the third floor of the police station and the court of Judge Myrtle Surprise is on the second floor. “Wait a minute,” Ewer said. His nimble wits had been work¬ ing rapidly while Mrs. Clark hunted for the $5 bill. “What court did you say that case was to be tried in?” On being informed that it was the court of Judge Sprague, he said: “I’m sorry, but I made a mistake. I thought you said Judge Surprise’s court.” It will cost you $20 to try the case in Judge Sprague’s court. That is a higher court. The client paid the bill with¬ out protest. Announcement Although I have had no special training in oratory I will give a super-spontaneous lecture at the “Grand Theatre ' ' on May 25. All people with political interests are urged to attend.
