.... LOWELLIAN Dear Aunt Ella: Lowell High School, January 16, 1P28. You have always been interested in my high school work, so I thought I’d write to you and tell you all about L. H. S. The school has a delightful situation, on a terraced knoll, and there is quite a large campus, which is shaded by a grove of tall oak trees. Mr. Grayson, our Principal, and Miss Meehan are in charge of the His¬ tory department, which I think is the most interesting of all, excepting Chemistry, perhaps. Mr. Grayson teaches United States History, and Miss Meehan teaches Ancient History and Modern History. The Ancient His¬ tory class consists of Freshmen and Sophomores, the Modern History class contains mostly Sophomores and Juniors, and the United States History class, Juniors and a few Seniors. The Modern History class has been study¬ ing about Napoleon, lately, and they seem to he deeply interested in the won¬ derful come-back which he almost made. Mr. Grayson also has a class in Civics, which is a half year subject, and is required by the state as a part of the History course. This subject ended with the first semester and Mr. Grayson is now teaching Economics in its place. Miss Boyle, Miss Kenyon, and Miss Ingram are the English instructors. English is usually the subject which gives the most trouble to those enter¬ ing college, but if it is hard for any of us, after having studied under these teachers, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Miss Boyle has two Junior English classes, one Senior class, and one Freshman class. The Seniors studied American Literature and Modern Essays the first semester, and now we are reading Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” ' You should hear some of the brilliant discussions we have over it. The Juniors have studied “A Tale of Two Cities,” by Dickens, and “Ivanhoe,” by Scott. They have also been using Long’s “Outlines of English Literature,” which is a base for “American Literature.” which they will have next year. Miss Kenyon spe¬ cializes in Sophomore English, which consists mainly of a study of short stories, although she has one Freshman class besides her two Sophomore groups. Miss Kenyon is very popular with the Sophomores—as well as the rest of the school. Maybe it’s because of the delicious hot lunches her cook¬ ing class serves each day at noon. Miss Ingram is at her best in Latin, but she is a very able assistant to the other English teachers in respect to inculcating correct English into the minds of the Freshmen. The Woman’s Club of Lowell has offered prizes for the best grades in oral English in the Freshman and Sophomore classes, and developments are being eagerly awaited. Mr. Marker, besides coaching the football team which tied Crown Point, found time to teach two Plane Geometry classes, a Solid Geometry class, and an Algebra class. He is a graduate of Indiana University, and this is his first year with us. Such complex and mysterious objects as tangents, con¬ current bisecters, and congruent triangles have no terrors for him. Mr. Gray¬ son teaches the other Algebra class, which meets the second period. Page thirteen
