KUHNLE IGHT boys, seven of whom were members of the Jackson rugby team, sat in Bob Dawson's room. The seven were all tall and well built- typical football men. The eighth, a newcomer from the West, who sat quietly on a trunk, was about five feet five inches in height and not over-muscular. The team was surely! up against it. Peterson, their only halfback, had left on account of sickness in is family, and there was no one in school to take his place, at least so far as anyone could see. Jack Kingsley mentioned Black, a second-rate player. No one responded. Fifteen gloom minutes passed, and Kingsley spoke again. What's the matter with Jones here? With a little training he might develop into a fair half. Jones whistled softly to himself. This was getting interesting. It was fully a minute before anyone spoke, and Hen,' Barbour voiced the thought of the others when he said: No, he's too light. He would never make it. Besides, we have no time to train an absolutely green fellow. Well, responded Jack, I guess it's either train a fellow in or go without. How about it, Jones, have you ever played before? Y-yes, a little. Too light, though, to make the team, I guess, was all he said. Well, beef is easy to get, if that's all you lack, remarked Tom Langdon. Hen, however, still maintained he was too light. Finally, after much persuasion and a promise from Jack to coach him pri- vately every afternoon, Jones consented to come out. He would at least try. By the way, asked Hen, as they were about to leave, is that 'Marvel' Jones, the great half who played with Eldridge, any relative of yours? N-no, not that I know of-why? True to his word, Jones was down on the field practicing with Jack the next afternoon. He soon picked up the fine points of the game, and Jack saw that if he kept on he would be a fast player. In the very first game Jones came through in splendid shape, as did the whole team, Jackson winning an easy 13-0 victory. The two still continued to practice faithfully every afternoon, and after a month's steady work Jack swore that Jones knew more about the game than he did. From the second month on there was not a single game in which the new half didn't put across some novel idea of his own. And now the Plymouth game, the big game of the season, was only a week away. The Plymouth bunch averaged twelve to fifteen pounds a player heavier, and the Jackson fellows knew they had a hard tussle ahead. Two days before the game Jack was dressing for dinner, and, as was often the case, his collar buttons were missing. He stepped into Jones' room, and, find- ing no one in, helped himself. As he was closing the dresser drawer a shiny object caught his eye. He picked it up. It was a miniature gold football with the letters E-H-S-1917 engraved upon it. In a flash the conversation in Dawson's room that night came to him--how Hen had asked if Jones were related to that Eldridge High School player. Here he was teaching football to a fellow who, most likely, had known more about the game in the beginning than he. What a fool he had made of himself, and how Jones must he laughing up his sleeve at him! A fine feeling it was! He walked gloomily out of the room, resolved not to tell Jones about his discovery until after the big game. Then he would talk as if he had known all the time. Even this thought, however, failed to lessen to any great extent his feeling of chagrin. The morning of the game was crisp and clear. The forenoon dragged slowly, and long before 2:30 the players were in their togs waiting for the Plymouth outfit. A large crowd, nearly a thousand people, had turned out to see the game, and the Plymouth delegation, five hundred strong, were beginning to arrive. iiifgz, W THE Lowlam. At 2:20 both teams were on the field and Jackson won the kick- off. The great game was on! Jack watched Jones as closely as his own position on the field per- mitted, and the more he watched the surer he became that his protege was the Marvel. As Tom Langdon said afterwards, That halfback may have pulled off some startling stunts before, but those of today were two or three times more startlingf' During the first half neither side scored. Jackson was in danger several times, but Jones came to the rescue with some un- expected play. It was within the last ten minutes of the second half that the real excitement began. Jones got the pigskin un- der his arm and started for the posts. In the words of one en- thusiastic Jackson rooter, Those he didn't cripple for life, he mur- dered. Nothing short of a loco- motive could have stopped him in that rush. lt was the first and last touchdown of the game. 1 Jackson failed to convert, win- ning by a score of 3-0. After the shouting was over, J3Ck looked about f01' Jones and A shiny object caught his eye. He picked it up. found him by the grandstand talking to ali officer of the U. S. Marines. He was about to turn away when Jones called him over. I want you to meet my brother, Jack. Harold, this is the Jack Kingsley I was speaking of. My brother here has been telling me a lot about you and your wonderful playing. He tells me you taught him all he learned. You must be a good teacher, for he played pretty well himself. Say, stammered Jack, isn't he the 'Marvel' that played for Eldridge? No, laughed the officer, that was I. He has never played much before. Well, I'll be jiggered! But, after a moment, I guess I wasn't so far off, after all. He'll be called 'Marvel No. 2' after this? w 0 Tl-HIE LOWELL 5535 BECOMING A HERO By FREDERICK C. ROTHERMEL LTHOUGH his full name was Harry Gracchus Augustus Tibbs, he was human, at least to the extent that he liked to soak bread in his soup, could whistle Traumerei without crying, and, above all, hated God- frey Weeks, his opponent in love. Now Marjorie Hopkins doted on heroes, and VVeeks was one, having once pulled a tramp out of the bay on the end of his cane. Harry's only recourse, therefore, was to become a greater hero than Weeks, cost what it wou d. He could whistle Traumerei without crying One Saturday night Harry met Jacob Jackson, gentleman polisher, who adver- tised to produce the best shine in town for the small sum of 15 cents. After due deliberation plans not of a lawful nature were agreed upon, and the two departed under solemn oath to meet the following night. Now, Harry's father and Godfrey's father were partners in the firm of Weeks 8: Tibbs, Counsellors-at-Law. Accordingly, at 12:30 Sunday night Harry and Jacob met in the entrance of the office building in which the firm did business. After walking up fourteen stories the two arrived at the office door, entered on tiptoe, and proceeded to open the large safe that stood at the far end of the room. From a card which he had brought from home Harry read the combination to his accomplice, who, it may be said, was Well schooled in that particular branch of mathematics. The heavy iron door swung slowly forward. A grin of satisfaction spread over Harry's face as he turned his flashlight upon the interior of the safe. He could now buy all the heroism he needed-and the girl was his! And then down the corridor there came the sound of approaching footsteps. In a spasm of fr1ght,' Jackson shoved Harry into the vault, slammed the door, and crept behind a desk just ln time to escape the eyes that peered into the room. The door closed as the night watchman went down the corridor on his round V- 'x , 'qi xii I UI I 4 i l l I l 2 -d 'fZ?5ve A--TIHIIE. LCOJWELL Is there-anything-I-can do? Again they dropped-a long drop that required every ounce of courage from the aeroplane's occupants. Nor did they stop as before! Down! down they were falling! Down they were being drawn through the vast expanse of space, as though in a bottomless pit. She felt the cold air rush through her as if a keen, razor-edged blade were cutting her limbs. A cold wind entered her body. Down! faster they were falling! Still faster they fell! NVould the machine never stop? She thought of all that had happened in her short span of twenty ears, and she wondered what her mother would say when the news should be brought to her. The events of her life passed before her in rapid kaleidoscopic procession. Was her companion speaking? Put your foot-foot-on the clutch-where my left foot is-quick! She heard him as in a dream and obeyed. The descent was checked, and presently, as the girl put more force on the regulating apparatus, the aeroplane began to rise. She felt relieved-immensely relieved. My foot is numbed, he explained. I can't press down on the regulator. The girl accepted his statement without comment. She lessened pressure on the clutch according to instructions and at length the machine touched land. It must have been beyond the city limits, for no habitation was in sight-only low, rolling hills as far as the eye could see. The engine coughed and died out, and the man limped from his seat and began rubbing his leg vigorously. After a time, when the numbness had departed, he straightened up, turned to his companion, and spoke. Aurora, he said, you saved me at the critical moment. Another fall and- I hate to think of it. My life belongs to you. Will you accept it? She lowered her eyes, swallowed once or twice, and whispered: Yes-only my name isnit Aurora. It's just plain Mary. My life belongs to you. Will you accept it? Puqv T H IE L 0 W IE L fL. A- f7'Th,i1'fCL?l1 e6f 'f'- 4V4u.l-P' W 'rv-us Sonerw -+-etc. 1 Dv ff! ,I Xu fl llflx qw X ME-Bee , - If I TH ' X woegawi THR? n ' syn XL!

EDITORIAL He that tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted, and so that the December Eighteens might not distintegrate unwept, unhonored and unstrung, it was deemed necessary to do some stringing and to record their glories in this modest edition of THE NIAGPIE, the space for which was only secured after a stubborn encounter with the august editor of the Annual. As this issue goes to press there is some talk of no longer having a Freshman MAIN NEWS SECTION class at Lowell. The other classes are in favor of the plan because the Freshies are always broke and never furnish any dances or entertainments to the rest of the school. They are not big enough to fight, they are too green for company, and they are too busy for anything else. If they would stay another year in grammar school they would know more and would not he so much in the way. Jerome Dinwiddie Nagel, inventor of slippery sandpaper and the handy sink mop, has invented an air-colored uni- form with which the American sol- diers ean walk right through the Ger- man lines and advance upon Berlin unseen. It is very difficult to duplicate the color of air and the uniforms will cost 55896.73 each. Nagel has gone to VVashington to give the squirrels a treat. VVhat a shock it will be when he comes out of his trance and learns the war is over! Mathew Alcibiades Weber, another of Lowell's bright lights, has gone into the fur business. On a recent trip to South America he discovered the gazoompus, a new fur-bearing animal. He brought home with him several hundred pelts and has made them up into neck-pieces and muffs. These gazoompus furs are quite popular and naturally sell much higher than ermine and other commonplace furs. And yet some people wonder where all the cats have gone! JUST THE CORE Miss Hinz was playing with a stray dog last Sunday and it bit her on the veranda. Landon spent Christmas vacation at his uncle's ranch. He was learning to ride horseback one day, when the animal got frisky and kicked him near the pasture gate.

THE THREE AGES OF LATIN PER G. E. N. Age of Utility-Down to 1600. During this period all learning was canned in Latin and preserved by the monks in the monasteries. Hence one had to learn Latin before he 'could learn anything else. Age of Gentility-Down to the French Revolution. After the Reformation Latin was still taught but only the rich could afford it. Hence a knowl- edge of Latin was a sign of wealth and culture. Age of Futility-Down to the present. Now anyone may learn Latin. Hence no one does. Mary had a Latin horse, It had no tail, no mane. She lost her horse, So now, of course, She has no Latin brain. Mr. Tucker-Why, Skaff, even a H-1 student wouldn't write ad castras nostras. Skaff-It's ad, isn't it?

Why not get together with the boys some afternoon and make a change? Give us something with the human touch. Your high-brow poetry may be all right for the gu who reads Browning for a bluff or taliks grand opera, but to me and many others it's a bit misty.

Treatment: If patient is unconscious, wind his watch and carefully return it to your pocket. Apply ily-paper poul- tice in back of knees. Massage thor- oughly with solution of Carnation Mush and Pluto Water. When patient is able to take nourishment feed him hard-boiled eggs through a straw. If he remains unconscious for any length of time, go through his pockets. This will bring him to. Pierce--What do you think of a fel- low who deceives his teachers all the time?

AT HOLIE, August 31, 1918. EAR BILL: Well, I see by your last letter that you have finallyig got into the front line trenches and the Heinies are on the run. hings is beginning to hum here, too. The first big thing of the term came off 'on the 13th in the form of a Boys' ATHLETIC RALLY, and who should he introduced as football coach but our old friend Voyne. He woulda been in the Devil Dogs long before this only his eyes queered him. They pulled the OPENING RALLY on the 16th. The aud was as crowded as a two-room flat and when prexy McNamara said we could dance in the aud you had to yell to keep 'em from trampin' on you. Right away, of course, they staged the FROSH RECEPTION and oh, boy, they's no comparison, the audis got t e girls' gym going west for dancing. She ain't much for looks, but who looks at the scenery on such occasions, eh Bill? VVolly pulled a boner when he told the scrubs they was goin' to be punch. After that they was no more punch to the rally, and pretty soon they was none in the bowl, either. The Juniors walked off with the SWIMMING INTERCLASS today, Bill. The Seniors ain't doin' much on account of the war. Say, Bill, if you get a chance to send the Kaiser where they don't wear overcoats donit stop to remember any German, he'll get you in English. Yures, JOE. P.S.-I seen your ma the other day, and speaking of your bein' raised to Kitchen Poleese she says she hopes you won't let your sudden clime to authority and distinction make you forget that you were once a private yourself, which I am passin' on to you as a bit of advice. AT THE OLD SCHOOL, September 13, 1918. DEAR BILL: I am all O. K. except I've been in bed a while with newmonia and hope you are the same. The Sophs took all the honors at the TRACK INTERcLAss on the 11th. The Seniors took a fourth. Can you beat it? Say, Bill, all the Belascos ain't in Noo York. We got one here at Lowell as can put across a play what is a play. Remember Bill Hanley? Well, today bein' Friday the 13th, what do they do but put on a BELGIAN RELIEF BENEFIT, and Bill and a bunch of the Senior fellows pulled a Robert W. Service stunt that put Rf W. S. clear out in the Pacific. Bill was thinking of lettin' Bob in on it, but they told him R. W. was liable to get peeved and call off his stuff if he knew Bill was runnin' opposition. You can't always sometimes tell what one of us literary guys 'll do, eh Bill? I guess it Won't be long, Bill, till some of the rest of us will be over there to show those squareheads where they get off. They staged another REGISTRATION DAY yesterday and nearly all the teachers and about a hundred of the fellows signed up, including yures trooly. Some of them are goin' to the S. A. T. C., which is a polite name for Systematic Annihilators of Ticks and Cooties, but you had to rake up the usual number of recs to get in, which lets me out, eh Bill? From the way ou spoke of cuties in your last letter they must be real affec- tionate little felflas. Do they learn tricks easy? Well, Bill, give my regards to the Gen. Have you struck him for another raise yet? Yures, JOE. P. S.-VVho are these unotree d3Ill6S,, I hear so much about? THE LUWIELL - mioffy-ffl ' 1 - -er' Igggfy-fou1' 1 T H E H4 0 W E L H4 AT THE OLD SCHOOL, September 21, 1918. DEAR BILL: Well, Bill, since I last got my fingers full of ink a no. of things has been on the boards. The Senior girls pulled a SENIOR GIRLS, RALLY, which they made exclusive, i. e. tif you know what that meansj, no boys allowed. It musta been good. Poly beat us in JUNIOR TRACK on the 18th, but we came back at ,em and won the SWIMMING MEET for the twenty-third consecutive time today. Boy! the way those guys went thru the H20 you'd a thought they was afraid of gettin' wet. Dic Julien busted the 50 record and the relay team lowered the S. F. A. L. mark. The teams was pretty well matched, so we came out only 5 points ahead of the next best, but a foot is as good as a mile considering some feet, eh Bill? No offenses meant, Bill, mine ainit so small either. Yures, JOE. P. S.-Say, Bill, I joined the cadets this term and I been havin' an awful time. I need someone like you who knows all about this stuff to put me wise. For instance, the other day the sergeant sends me to the armorv for a box of muster roll and a bucket of reveille. I smelt a rat, but anyway I went and asked the quartermaster and he sent me to Maj. Wood for a written order which he wrote out, adding a yard of skirmish line and 2 blank files and sent me to Maj. Nourse to have the order countersigned. By the time I got through chasin' around and took a tumble to myself the companies was dismissed and everybody was waitin, outside to give me the merry ha ha, and I suppose I'll never hear the last of it. P. S. No. 2.-Do they let you keep your window open in the trenches, Bill? P. S. No. 3.-I am writing this in history. Mr. Newman got wound up at the beginning of the period on the subject of whether football players or Latin scholars make better officers, which is good for forty minutes at least, eh Bill? AT HOME, October 7, 1918. DEAR BILL: Yours of September 1 at hand and contents noted, as it says in our composition book. Golly, you musta been some mussed up after that little tussle with the Boches you write about. Lowell's goin, strong again, Bill. Our treat-'em-rough eleven went through Cogswell like a sieve to the tune of 5-3 on September 28. Poly has been gettin' kinda uppish lately, -so we had to take her down a peg, too. The day of the game, October 4, the girls sold about S100 worth of dalleyahs fyou know what I mean, anywayb, and we all wore them over to the game, and say, that game would make those little roughhousing stunts you pull off in No Man's Land look like an after- noon tea party. Our boys was as wolves amongst the sheep, as the gu says. When they got through they was wool all over the field, both textile and Isiuman, and my scorecard read 18-0. The Lowell Quartet is busted up now, Bill, on account of the war. Little Charlie Gates, Red Harrison and Jeff Sutliffe has left to join the colors, and they staged a PATRIOTIC RALLY on September 27 as a farewell to them and the sixteen or so other fellows that are leaving. The quartet sang The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground, Bo sf' which is what the Dutchies is findin' out, eh Bill? Anyway, McCoy, that tall handsome guy, is all they is left of the four. P. S.-You might send your old pal one of your D. S. M.'s to use as a watch- fob, Bill. The one I got at the Palace of Machinery at the Fair is worn out.

You guys are sure having one grand time since the war is over-and so are we. They is a bug floatin' around S. F. what the highbrow docs call the inflooenza basillyus. It's probably some relation to that litle cutie insect you write so much about, which I understand was made in Germany. They had to close down the schools here for six weeks, which put everything on the klbosh. In the pre-flu days we held a FOOTBALL RALLY, which didn't do us much good because we went and lost the championship to Lick the next day, which was October 12. Jerry Villain ran the whole length of the field and only stopped because there wasn't anyone near him. He scored our only touchdown, and Lick tied us and beat us 8-5 at the last minute. Say, Bill, did you ever hear of a Capt. Tom E. Y. Seddon over there? He claims he was there for three years, but when I asks him if he knew you he says, VVhat is he, a general ? I knew he was bluifing from the start, but anyway he peddled a good line and staved off my Latin ex one day by occupying an hour in the aud on October 9, so I got no kick coming. Yures, JOE. P. S.-They say the Kaiser's sad Budweiser, eh Bill? AT HOME, January 3, 1919. DEAR BILL: Since my last the Seniors has been a little more in prominence. On December 11 the usual SENIOR DAY performance came off. The fellows rigged out in corduroys with red numerals sewed on their back and pennants pinned on in front, while the ladies wore hair down and aprons. Of course, the main event was the 6th period frolic. You shoulda seen how those numerals disappeared, leaving the coats in shreds if at all. Louie Litchenstein, Scotchy Campbell and VVee Ludolph starred for the lower classmen, while McNamara, Nagel and Fisch played into prominence for the Seniors. It was the scrappiest Senior Day ever. The ELECTIONS were held the Friday before Christmas vacation, and as most of the office seekers was home sick with the flu it was a fair and square election. They had to hold the BLOCK L RALLY out in the court yesterday on account of the flu. It was about 20 below the freezing point of liquid air, which had an effect on the attendance and etc. Prexy McNamara announced the elections, which was as follows: Pres. Geo. Corley, V. P. Zoe King, Secty. Jerry Villain, 1st Assistant Scotchy Campbell, 2d Ez Ratner, 3d Marv Oshurn, 4th Randy Flood, Editor Irv Weinstein, Yell Leader Wee Ludolph. Q With that outfit on deck we oughta make things go next term, eh Bill? All that is left of this term is the Annual, which ain't goin' to be much good because I heard Fisch tell Corley that owing to the limited amt. of space on account of the war they was goin to cut out the jokes and etc., which is all anyone reads, espeshully me, eh Bill? , Well, Bill, the Seniors said so long to the old school today. It was with a feeling of sadness and regret and with manv a brinv tear, which is not original but a quotation from Doug Mennie's vallydicktory. The presentation of diplomas was a saramony that ain't likely to be forgot right away. . Yures, JoE. P. S.-You know I got a brother in the Leathernecks what's just back from the front, and when I told him how those 23 Heinies jumped on you with rifles, knives, bums, poisoned gas and etc., and you killed 10, wounded 5 and took 6 prisoners, a scant 2 getting away, he says, Tell that pal of yours he's yellah.

The four years we have spent at Lowell have been years more closely crowded with events of world importance than any other four years in history. We entered a little more than four months after the declaration of war, when the nations of the world were just beginning to line up for the struggle. VVe leave a little less than two months after the signing of the armistice, and as the Peace Congress at Versailles is hold- ing its first sessions. The background of world events in which our school davs have been set cannot but have had an influence in molding our ideas and ideals. We hope that that influence has been a broadening one, and that we shall be better men and women and better citizens because of it. Perhaps there are among us those who have caught a vision during their high school days of the better state that we hope will arise out of the ashes of the present, and who, because of that vision, will be tomorrow's leaders. But wherever our lot may be cast and however humble may be our station in life, there will always be in the heart of each one of us a corner reserved for Lowell. Because their influence is not for toda onl ', we cannot now measure the debt we owe to Lowell, to the Lowell spirit, to the ellyorts and sacrifices of Lowell's teachers, and to the companionships we have formed at Lowell. ??ii'f,iT ,if f,flliif7f:-i frgll' IHI IE ll., 0 W IE IL.

The usual six- and eight-page special issues of the bi-weekly have not appeared. The staff of the Annual, in spite of its best efforts, has been unable to put out a more pretentious volume than the one you now hold in your hand. ' After editing the first three issues of the bi-weekly, which were THE BI- well written and well arranged and gave promise of a successful WEEKLY term for THE LowELL, Pierce left school to join the S. A. T. C. at Stanford. His sudden departure left the paper in a badly crippled condition, as the rest of the staff had had very little experience with the details of the editor's job. The Executive Committee decided that it would he unwise to turn over both the bi-weekly and the Annual to one editor at that late stage of the game, and accordingly entrusted the bi-weekly to Weinstein and set Fisch to work on the Annual. Three more issues of the bi-weekly followed at the usual interval, each a little better than the previous one. A Sporting Issue was planned for December 2, but at the last moment it was seen that there would not be enough ads to pay for the extra pages. Determined to have at least one special issue, the staff planned an eight-page Christmas issue for December 18. Things were running smoothly, when the editor and business manager were laid up with the flu and the idea had to be abandoned. The last issue of the bi-weekly, put out on January 20, was something new. The unusual combination of circumstances-the flu vacation, the extension of the term, the early graduation of the Senior Class-made it possible to publish a bi-weekly after Christmas in which the Block L Rally, the Graduation Exercises and the results of the election were recorded. This issue was edited by the new staff which will guide the destinies of THE LOWELL during the coming term. Among the obstacles with which the staff of the Annual had to THE cope were the Government restrictions on the size of the book and the ANNUAL quality of the paper, the uncertainty of the date of publication, the illness of Weinstein, Corley, and Fisch, and the refusal of the adver- tisers to advertise when it became evident that the book could not be gotten out before Christmas. At the last minute the staff was forced to abandon its plans for a larger volume and to reduce the size of the book to a minimum, and that meant to rule out much of the very material that we had hoped would make it a differ- ent Annual. It is for the reader, making due allowance for the difficulties under which we have labored, to judge to what extent the staff has realized its ambition of making of the Annual, not a literary production, but a book that the students at large would enjoy reading. If there is anything that the experiences of this term have brought out, it is the necessity for division of labor. Although the Executive Committee has not seen fit to continue the two-editor arrangement at present, we feel that as soon as circumstances are favorable the change should be made. In the meantime, next term's editor has carried out the idea to some extent by enlarging his staff and dividing it into departments, each with a separate staff whose head is responsible to the editor for his section of the paper. A word of appreciation is due to the H. S. Crocker Co. for their assistance in the preparation of this volume, to the Danner Publishing Co., who printed the hi-weekly, to the Sierra Art and Engraving Co., and to the Bushnell Studios.

'IFIHIIE ILCOJVVIEILIL THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HE Executive Committee is the heart of the Student Body. It is com- posed of eight officers elected by the school, eight class representa- tives, the representatives of the avarious school interests, and four faculty representatives appointed by the principal. A more demo- cratic body could hardly be chosen. When the school is running smoothly, the Executive Committee meets regularly, performs its duties quietly, and acts efficiently. It is to the praise of President McNamara that during the past term, when we have been more violently disturbed than at any previous period in our history, the Executive Com- mittee has handled its business so well. Practically all the boys over eighteen have entered the Army or Navy. Many girls have gone into the stores and offices to fill the places of the men who have been sent to France. The teaching force has been changed again and again. Hardly an officer chosen by the school has been able to continue during the term. Pupils elntirely unacquainted with our school problems have had to be trained for the wor . Our interest and our enthusiasm have been drawn completem to our nation's war activities. The Red Cross, Belgian Relief, and United War ork Drive have absorbed our attention. All of this unrest has been reflected in the Executive Committee. A school has about so much energy to expend. When- this is used up on Liberty Bonds and community service and Red Cross and farewells to men leaving for the front, little is left for the ordinary school interests. The teams are shot to pieces, the Debating Society, Reading Club, and musical organizations are decimated. As if this were not enough, our term was entirely broken up by five weeks' vacation on account of the influenza epidemic, and, as this is being written, the flu is spreading rapidly again and there is some talk of closing the schools once more. We may well be proud that during the term just past, in spite of all these difficulties, the line has held. The Executive Committee has had its meetings, the various organizations are intact, and, while we shall possibly have a deficit in our treasury, our reserve is strong enough so that we can go into the new term with courage and confidence. President McNamara and the Executive Committee deserve your praise and congratulations for the strenuous work they have done during the term.

The value of military training is striking home. Many of the cadets left to join the Students' Army Training Camps, and their previous training enabled them to win high standing. This term a change in the hours was made, extremely agreeable to all. Drill started at the beginning of the eighth period, instead of at 3:10, and ended at 3:30. This plan provided for the required hour and twenty minutes, but gave the fellows much more time after school. At present the Lowell Battalion consists of the Ninth, Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh Companies, totaling two hundred and forty-two men. Next term, the eighth of the Lowell Battalion, an effort will be made to add another company, bringing the battalion up to army standard-in size, at least. The officers this term were: Major J. P. Nourse, Major Austin VVood, Cap- tains Wells, Hellman and Morton, Lieutenants Schmiedel, Amberg, Furth, Chap- man, Munter, McGee, Jordan and Peckham, and Sergeant-Major VVollenberg. The annual spring encampment takes place next term.

The sacrifice of fourteen of her alumni and students, the loan of over twentv thousand dollars to the Government with thrift stamps as receipts, the liberal gift of over six thousand dollars for Red Cross and Belgian Relief VVork, the turning in of hundreds of knitted and sewed articles, the large enrollment in the Boys' XVorking Reserve, the volunteer work on the United NVar Work Drive, the poster distributing for the Red Cross, the clerical work in the otlices of the various war organizations, and, last but not least, the contribution represented by the six hundred stars on our service flag-this is Lowell's bit. 'IQHE LOXVELL VVAR SERVICE CoMM1r'rE1e, organized last January for greater efficiency in Lowell's war activities, consists of a chairman, secretary, two faculty advisers, a publicity manager, and the heads of the Red Cross Coin, Red Cross T ll'll E L 0 W E L L - -gig?-1Iil1e Conservation, Belgian Relief, Knitting, and Service Departments. It has intro- duced many successful ideas, chief of which have been the Service Depart- ment and the Credit System.

S 1,842 85,1-10 RED CRoss XNORK. The Red Cross Coin Department had charge of pledges, donations and fines-all money collections. The Red Cross Conservation Depart- ment dealt with newspapers, tinfoil and salvage of various kinds. This was either sold, the money going to the Junior Red Cross, or turned over direct to the San Francisco Chapter. Two auto loads of junk and over 150 pounds of tinfoil were given direct to the Salvage Department and are therefore not included in the figures above. The Red Cross Knitting Department was very successful, due mainly to the splendid efforts of Miss Cox. Far more girls wanted to knit than could be supplied with wool. All Red Cross work will continue next term. THRIFT STAMPS AND WAR SAVINGS STAMPS have been popular again this term. In a little over three months Lowell's investment was about S7,250. The same fine spirit which has characterized her giving has been shown in her lending. Next term there will be a new issue of War Savings Stamps, for, although the war is over, the Government is still in need of money. Lowell will keep up her work. SEWING. During the past year over eight hundred garments, bags and house- wives were made by the girls, under Miss Barry's supervision, and many soldiers and civilians in Europe are now using them. The Sewing Department will con- tinue its work next term. THE SERVICE DIRECTORY was conceived and has been successfully carried out by Mr. Koch. A record is kept of all Lowell boys in the service, with enough data of their whereabouts for purposes of correspondence, and they are informed of the whereabouts of other Lovvellites. This has been done by means of a directory, a copy of which is mailed to each boy over there. The meetings made possible by the directories have resulted in much happiness. A more novel and successful plan has never been carried out at Lowell. John Jordan . . . Robert Morton . F. B. Tucker . L. H. Stevens . . . Austin NYood ..... Velma Bercovich . . . Ralph Cahn .....

E. Pence Charlotte Bruckner President Faculty Adviser Representative THE READING CLUB ESPITE interruptions of various kinds, the Reading Club has completed a highly successful semester. The present policy of the Club is to put on but one big play each year, and that in May. The work of developing material for the big play is actually done in the fall term, however, and we may safely say now that the prospects for next term's play are very bright. The members of the Club are divided into five sections, each with a leader, as follows: Drama, Poetry, Short Story, Humor and Magazine. This arrangement provides a variety of programs, with something worth while for each week. Every other week the program is provided bv the Drama Section. Among the plays read this term were: Rosalind, The Maker of Dreams, In a First-Class Nvaiting Room,', and Just as Well. All of these plays were written by prominent dramatists. The large membership of the Club is due, no doubt, to the entertainment derived from the meetings, but the fact that active members are given credit toward graduation is an added attraction. Thanks are due to Miss Pence, our faculty representative and adviser, for her untiring assistance. The oflicers, too, have worked hard to make the past term a successful chapter in the record of the Club. ' At the beginning of the term, William Hanley was elected President and George Amend, Secretary, but both left school soon after to join the colors. The Vice-President, Aloha Hinz, succeeded Hanley as President, and Earl Treadwell was elected Secretary. The oflices of Representative and Stage Manager were creditably filled by Charlotte Bruckner and Zoe King, respectively. TH E gglqfil-0116 Herbert Kirschner Mr. G. E. Nunn Edward Jackson President Faculty Adviser Representative THE DEBATING SOCIETY HE Debating Society has again attained its high standard of three or four years ago. At one time it had the reputation of producing some of the best public speakers in the State, but the graduation of almost the whole society in the classes of '15 and '16 resulted in a few terms of standing still. Three years of practical experience have brought the organization to the fore again. The interesting meetings of several terms ago are being dupli- cated now. The attendance has doubled. The old-time spirit has been revived, and the future of the society looks bright again. Q The programs have been varied. Debates, essay contests, declamation, read- ing, and other oral contests have made up the peppy meetings. Among the most interesting meetings this term were the Big Team tryouts and the annual Phelan Cup debates. Those making the Big Team were: Jackson fCaptainJ, Farrenkopf, Branch and Kirschner. Wallace Hyman, a Junior, won the Phelan Cup. Jack Piver and H. C. Moncada also had their names engraved on the Cup. The Debating Society affords not simply entertainment, but thorough instruc- tion in public speaking. The ability to talk is always an asset in the activities of the student's after life, and there is no better place to acquire that ability than in the Debating Society. The officers this term were: President, Herbert Kirschnerg Vice-President, Helen Mackintosh, Secretary, VVallace Hymang Representative, Edward Jackson, Faculty Adviser, Mr. G. E. Nunn. Active members are given credit toward graduation. 53351-tml.- -IM aaa-iafeala T IHI IE IL 0 W IE ll.. IL. Gerald Villain Mr.. C. C. Danforth .tlunager Faculty Representative THE CAFETERIA HIE success with which the Cat'eteria has met during the past year is remarkable when one considers the unusual conditions under which the management has had to work. The students are coming to the conclusion that the Cat' is the best place to get a hot, nourishing meal at little cost. The low prices are made possible by the fact that the Cafeteria is owned and controlled entirely by the Lowell High School Students' Association, and is run on a non-protiteering basis. The manager fFourth Assistant Treasurerj is elected at the regular election and an adviser is chosen from the faculty by the Executive Committee. In spite of the fact that the Cafeteria has been well patronized by the students it has required careful study and planning to make things come out even, largely because the rules of the Food Administration have prohibited the sale of more than a iixed amount of certain foodstuffs, thereby lowering the daily receipts. The Manager, Gerald Villain, and the Faculty Representative, Mr. Danforth, deserve considerable credit for the efiicient and economical methods they have introduced. The Cafeteria is based on the fact that the progress a student makes at school depends quite as much upon what is in his stomach as upon what is in his head. It IS run for you, not for your money.

The attendance has averaged over sixty, and the members have thoroughly enjoyed the work. At the beginning of the term the Club gave a reception to the new members. A musical program was rendered and this was followed by a dance. The Club has been constantly before the school. The girls, quartet sang at several of the rallies, and was greatly appreciated. The girls feel that they have an interested and competent teacher in Miss Keohan. BOYS' GLEE CLUB The latest patriotic songs were favorites with the fellows of the Glee Club this term, although they have readily consented to sing for the sake of harmony and have not insisted on popular airs entirely. The weakness of the club is in the lack of tenors. Visitors have said that when the rumbling, roaring bassos get on a tantrum, the tenors might just as well be in another room. So, ye tenors of Lowell, let's see a turnout next term that will make the basses turn green with envy. ORCHESTRA The Orchestra is beginning to assume quite respectable proportions. It now has thirty-six members, all of whom are hard workers. There is a very strong violin section, as usual, but this term there has been a variety of wind instruments also. The Orchestra has supplied numbers on several programs during the term. 5352-Six -A Jl1 ll'lllE ILCODVVIEILIL, WINGED L AND SCROLL SOCIETY FACULTY ADVISERS Thaddeus H. Rhodes F.

Despite the many interruptions, however, the fellows went ill and fought harder than ever, and it was only by a very narrow margin that they were nosed out for the championship. Voyne, a Lowell alumnus and football star, coached the team throughout the season, and Lowell was fortunate in having such a coach. SAN MATEO 9-LOWELL 0 On Saturday, September 21, Lowell journeyed down to San Mateo and lost to the C. I. F. finalists in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Hunter, the fast San Matean, took advantage of the weakness of the backfield and went through for all tries. The Lowell forwards had a decided edge on their opponents. Bahrs, Ferri, Janssen and Wollenberg played a fine brand of football for Lowell. SEPTEMBER 28. LOWELL 5-COGSWELL 3 This was the first league game and showed the stamina of the Lowell eleven. The backfield held like a stone wall-quite an improvement over the previous game. The superiority of the Lowell forwards was demonstrated in every play. Captain Brown showed himself to he the most dangerous man in the league. Harrison and Alex Laforgue showed up well, as did Hill at halfback. Dean Cunha also played a good game. OCTOBER 4. LOWELL 18-POLY 0 Lowell showed itself to be one of the fastest teams around the bay in this game. Stal Janssen played into prominence, as did Campbell, Flood and Woods. Wild Jack Ferri, Captain Brown and Janssen all scored tries. Harmon and Grondona were also noticeable, and the accurate kicking of Smith for Jerry Villain was another important factor. ' ocToBEP. 12. LOWELL 5-LICK 8 The championship game with Lick was, as usual, the hardest fought game of the season. All the luck was against Lowell. The feature of the game was the 80-yard run of Jerri Villain, the fastest backfield man in the league. Alex Tosi proved the star of t e contest, scoring both of' Lick's tries. Ferri, Campbell and Briesen played stellar parts, while Bob Janssen used his long arms to splendid advantage in intercepting passes, and Manager Dean Cunha played the game of his life, smearing those guys all the time with his old go-get-'em spirit. Wild Jack Ferri played a rip-roaring, smashing game. Captain Brown, although marked, played more than his part and was another Lowell star. Considering the team individually: Randy Flood-Height 5 feet 10 inches, weight 158 pounds, front rank. Randy was one of the surprises of the season. By hard fighting in the rucks he gained his position, and his stick-to-it-iveness cinched it for him. Scotchy Campbell-Height 5 feet 8 inches, weight 155 pounds, front rank. Scotchy was the best booting forward Lowell had, time and again tearing through the other scrum and breaking up backfield plays. He was a fighter to the last, playing in all the games with a badly sprained ankle. Phat Woods-Height 6 feet, weight 180 pounds, lock.. Phat is a former American player with very little rugby experience. He came out and by hard work and steady training made lock, one of the most difficult positions on the team. Wild Jack Ferri-Height 6 feet 2 inches, weight 160 pounds, breakaway. Jack was the fastest breakaway in the league. He was an ideal forward, being tall and rangy. Jack's fast work in the line-outs was the feature of his playing. ffffnfy TIHIIE LOWELL Jack Briesen-Height 5 feet 11 inches, weight 159 pounds, breakaway. Hans was a hard-hitting bunch of fat and muscle. He was a reliable player- always there with a tackle or smash when needed. , Sandy Laforgue-Height 5 feet 11 inches, weight 159 pounds, rear rank. Sandy was the most welcome surprise of the season. He was a fast, steady for- ward and always a dangerous man. He helped greatly in making Lowell superior in the line-outs. Burt Harrison-Height 5 feet 11 inches, weight 175 pounds, rear rank. Burt was the type of forward suitable for rear rank. He is right there with the push or smash when needed and was a hard worker. Stal Janssen-Height 6 feet 2 inches, weight 162 pounds, wing forward. Bob was the rangiest forward in the league. His possessinga long pair of arms made intercepting passes his pass -time. Bob started more plays than any other man on the team. Boot', Hill-Height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 150 pounds, halfback. Boot was a hard smashing halfback, and although his work was somewhat hampered by his size and his lack of experience, he took care of the most difficult position on the team in remarkable style. Manager Dean Cunha-Height 5 feet 6 inches, weight 130 pounds, first five. Dean was just the kind of a manager the team needed. He was really the main- stay of the backfield, the cog of all plays, and one of the gamest men Lowell has ever had behind the scrum. Captain Bob Brown-Height 5 feet 10 inches, weight 160 pounds, second five. Bob was the most feared man in the S. F. A. L. His ability to swerve made him the most conspicuous man on the Lowell team. He was the best tackler on the team, the mainstay in the scoring department, and one of Lowell's most popular football captains. He joined the Tanks immediately after the season. Jerry,' Villain--Height 5 feet 6M inches, weight 145 pounds, center three. Jerry was the fastest backfield man in the league. He was the most polished player on the team and his ability to gain and tackle cinched his position early in the season. His ease in handling the ball made him the neatest player in the S. F. A. L. Jerry has a great future. Melodies Harmon-Height 5 feet 5 inches, weight 150 pounds, wing. George is a small, stocky man, always on the job and a very hard man to stop. He showed his fighting spirit by joining the colors after the league. Dick VVegener-Height 5 feet 5 inches, weight 125 pounds, wing. Dick was the smallest man on the team, but what he lacked in size he made up in speed and fight. He is a game scrapper and a valuable asset to the team. Cocky Grondona-Height 5 feet 515 inches, weight 133 pounds, fullback. Cocky was a hard tackler, stopping big men and small alike. He was good under fire and had a dangerous kick. VVino,' XVeinman-Height 5 feet 11 inches, weight 145 pounds, sub forward. Wino was a new man at the game, but made a creditable showing, filling in at breakaway and rear rank. Frank Bernstein-Height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 150 pounds, sub front rank. Frank was one of the steadiest plodders on the team. Never brilliant but always in the right place at the right time. Harry Smith-Height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 158 pounds, sub wing. Harry's long boots and place kicking entitle him to consideration alone. Harry was always there, although thislwas his first year in fast company. Honorable mention should be given the fellows on the Second Team, who worked hard all season. They include: Captain Tomasello, Manager Nelson, Oshurn, Silverman, Pasmore, Campi, Carson, Harker, Bowman, Nagel, Edelman, and Blackfield. T in E is o W E ll. ll., A - -.-...-'523S.f.-.....

F. A. L. Swimming Meet at Sutro Baths on September 21. The meet was a huge success. Each individual member of the team exerted himself to the utmost, living up to Lowell's standard of clean sportsmanship and doing as much and even more than was expected of him. The rooting section, too, was the largest Lowell has had at the swimming meet in years. A little vote of thanks is due the loval noise-makers who helped the Red and White paddlers annex the championship honors. Lick had a comparatively small section and fell down when the yells were most needed. It sent a thrill through us to see our own little Dick Julien clip a full second off the back-stroke record, and to see Lowell win the last and most important event, the relay, in which our gallant team incidentally shattered the previous record, which was also held by Lowell. It was some meet. Not until the very last moment was the result certain. The relay was expected to be close, but Lowell took the lead at the very start and E..- pi - I 5Z'5f,.fy-1w0 .T IHI IE L 0 W IE IL. L each man gained a little, so that bty the time our lil Louie bounced off the board for the final lap, Lowell had alrea y secured a big lead. As to the star of the meet, Lowell points to a graduate, a fellow who has seen active service on Lowell's championship swimming teams for the past four years, a fellow who is proud to wear a Red and White swimming suit and to bring in his welcome ten points every meet-Dick Edeoward Julien. Considerable praise should also be given to Captain Louie Litchenstein and Manager Al Hooper for their untiring work throughout the semester. Dual meets were arranged and many new water-dogs were brought to light. Lowell lived up to the old record of at least one new star every year, but there is still a slight question as to whether or not she will boast of the usual find next term. The personnel of the team is as follows: Captain Louie Litchenstein-Louie put the necessary kick into the team to pull through a winner. He starred in the sprints and the relay. Manager Al Hooper-Al swam the distances for the first time this year. He has decided to stick to the sprints in the future. He swam a good lap in the relay. Dick,, Julien-Dick was Lowell's star again this Iyear. He smashed the back-stroke record, formerly held by Dudley DeGroot of olytechnic, and copped the fifty from a fast field. Dick graduated this year, and his loss will be keenly felt. He joined the Naval Unit at U. C. Jim', Carson-Jim forced Mitchell of Lick to a new record in the 100 and swam a fast relay lap. Jim is our future sprint champion. Barry O'Connor-Barry has been one of the teamis stand-bys all season. He starred in the plunge and 100. Eddie Hart-Eddie figured second in both the weight races. He is still light, so Lowell will be well represented in the weights next year. Mervl' Rosenbaum- Rosey and his 110 pounds of muscle followed his team-mate to the rope in the breast. Merv has a wonderful future. Jack Briesen-Jack is a new man on the swimming team, but he proved a valuable asset in both the relay and the diving events. He graduated this semester. Phat,' Woods- Floater was not in condition to plunge this year, due to his football training, but was one of the most reliable men on the team. Jackie Abramson-Jackie was fouled in the weight fifty this year when well up in front. The team will lose a good man when he graduates. Charlie O'Brien- Neen swam a game 440 and with a little more form will make the best dig to beat him. Chappie Morsehead-Chappie swam a fast 220 and helped the relay settle the meet. He left for the S. A. T. C. at U. C. soon after the meet. Howard Herrington- Hair overtrained this year. Had he been in a little better condition, Julien's back-stroke record might have been a little faster. Bill Brown-Bill has the makings of a good diver, but will have to start training sooner than the eve of the meet. Morgie Cuthbertson-- Cut caught the flu several days before the big meet, and was unable to compete, although he had practiced fait fully. Silly Rhodes-Silly, although unable to compete in the meet, due to lac-k gf hgurs, was on hand to help in outside meets and should be given a lot of praise or is wor . .5112 L T ll-ll E IL 0 W E H.: ll.4 ggginty-three Track Team Top Row: Sanford, Reese, Mullen, Nourse, Kelly, Shumacher, Babin Middle Row: Berger, VVegener, Stanford iCaptainJ, Shermund 1ManagerJ, Morgan, Terasaxvx Bottom Row: Thieben, Brown, Jennings, Church, Kecfe fkneelingj, Jackson THE TRACK TEAM OVVELIXS track prospects were exceedingly bright at the start of the season, but, due to many unexpected interruptions at the last moment, the team suffered severe losses and Lowell lost the big meet. Nearly all of last yearis veterans were on the team and several fast men were brought to light in the interclass. Manager Shermund and Captain Stanford deserve great credit for their untiring work through- out the season, even if the team did not bring home the bacon. LOWELL 60-POLY 72 ' On Wednesday afternoon, September 18, Lowell met Poly at the Stadium in the first dual meet of the season-a meet which was fought to the last relay. VVe were not disheartened by this defeat, as it was the absence of three of our con- sistent point-getters that gave Poly the opportunity of winning the relays and first places in the other events. Manager Shermund was the individual star on a slow damp track, getting three first places. Goldmeyer starred for Poly. LOVVELL 72-COGSVVELL 65 VVednesday afternoon, September 25, saw Lowell beat Cogswell by a narrow margin on the Cogswell track, winning the meet in the last relay. Lonsidering, however, that the Lowell team was unaccustomed to the track and that a cold if , ,mi .I-1 -1- -- ggga511ty-follr- T H E H4 0 W E L L wind was blowing, we can call it a real victory. Manager Shermund captured two firsts, while Rosser and Briggs starred for Cogswell. LOWELL 75-LICK 34 On VVednesday, October 9, Lowell met Lick at the Stadium and won an over- whelming victory. Owing to the lack of Lick men in the 100 and 110 pound divi- sions, we were able to gain a substantial lead. Keefe, Shermund and Babin were Lowell's bright lights, while Captain Mullen scored nine points for Lick. Lowell was beginning to find her stride and was in splendid trim for the big meet, due to take place in three weeks. . .- THE S. F. A. L. MEET The big S. F. A. L. meet was held at the Stadium on November 19, after a postponement of a month, although there was considerable discussion as to calling off the meet altogether, due to the influenza epidemic. Several Lowell men-men whose points were vitally essential in a meet like this-were laid up at home with the flu, and we may safely attribute the loss of the meet to this cause. Poly, obtaining ten first places out of a possible seventeen, easily won the meet with 79 points. Lowell, with 45 points, took second place, followed by Lick, Cogswell and Commerce. Goldmeyer, Biagini and Shorty Davis were the individual stars for Poly, each taking twopfirst places, while Davis tied Micky English's record in the 300-yard run. Lowell had no individual bright lights. Every man did his best-more than was expected of him. Owing to the epidemic nine Lowell men, including Captain Stanford, were unable to run. Lowell put up a game fight, but it was a losing one. The members of this year's team follow: Manager Ralph Shermund-Ralph was a competent manager and a consistent point-getter. He is a future star in the high-jump. Captain Leland Stanford- Stan was our crack 440 man and figured to win his race in the big meet, but was unable to run on account of illness. Allen Shumacher--Allen took first in the shot-put and was a fast relay man. Bob Nourse-Bob is a comer in the sprints, taking second place in his first appearance. Joe Bosenzweig- Rosey surprised them all by taking a second in the 440. He was a consistent trainer and a game runner. Hal Jennings-Hal has a stride that will make him a good distance man with more training. He ran a fast lap in the relay. Bill,' Brown-Bill was a consistent high-jumper, who figured for a place in the S. F. A. L., but was unable to run on account of illness. Joe Thieben-Joe exceeded expectations by taking third in the Sprints. He is a promising man from last year. Red,' Church-Red is the old reliable-making points when least expected. He was unable to run on account of' illness. Dick,' NVegener-Dick was a good 300 man, but was handicapped by foot- ball training. Ted Keefe-Teddie is a newcomer with a great future. He will make a wonderful sprinter with more practice. Bill Reese-Bill was usually counted on for a first or a second, but was also handicapped by illness. George Martin--George was a good broad-jumper and sprinter, but was unable to run on account of illness. Norb Babin- Babe was the oldest man on the team. He trained faith- fully, ran a good 220, and was a consistent point-getter. ir in E lL o W IE, L LIL t - - ,1. : --L,-,.pY.F. we ?if5fS,.,y-n.,c 120-pound Basketball Team Herrington, Adams, Zander, Toniasello, XYeinstein l.llu11c1geri, Ferris, Belani THE 120-POUND BASKETBALL TEAM I.'l'HOL'GH basketball this semester has been a continued series ol' inter- ruptions and the S. F. A. I.. games have not started as this is being written, the teams have managed to play a number of practice games, and championship prospects are good, especially for the 120-pound five. This team was formerly the eraek 110-pound quintet, but due to the fact that several of the players were overweight the entire team has moved up a division. LONVIZLL 27fY. M. H. A. 2-1 This was the first real game of the season. Although the Y. M. H. A. was one of the best teams of its weight around the Bay and was strictly a 1241-pound Hve, while Lowell averaged several pounds lighter, the Red and NVhite basketers did some of the best playing ofthe year and won their first game 27-24 after a hard fight. Captain Irv XVeinstein featured at forward, while Eddie Belani and VVop Arata did Clever work at guard. LOVVIELL 28-ST. IGNATIUS 17 This game was played on the St. Ignatius Court, but Lowell had things its own way after the first half. Several substitutes were used, mainly to try out the new lv V I 7 ggggnly-six T H E L 0 W E L L material, and Red Herrington and Mouse Ferris showed they had the stuff, as was again demonstrated in later games. A return game was played at Lowell three weeks later, and the Lowell team, although they put up a stubborn fight, showed lack of teamwork and were beaten 27-23, mainly through the clever shooting of Lane of St. Ignatius. Other games were played with Cogswell, Commerce and the Y. M. I., and the Red and White basketers succeeded in winning the majority of the games. The team was steadily growing stronger as the League drew near. The members of the team follow: Manager Irv Weinstein- Winey was our crack forward and the main- stay of the team. This is his fourth year on a Lowell team. Mouse Ferris-Mouse was the other forward and because of his continual fight he was a safe bet for the team. Red Herrington-Red doesn't usually say much, but he's right there when the points are most needed. He has a good eye and is a sure shot. Eddie Belani-Ed was the team's main defense throughout the season. His ability to break up plays cinched his position early in the season. Wop Arata-Wop started off like a world beater, and then the flu put him out for over a month. Joe was a steady, reliable guard. Jeff Zander-Jeff played with the team from the very beginning. He has a great future before him as a guard. Harry Greenberg-Harry was left over from the original 120-pound five, but his weight was doubtful. He was a good scrapper. Thorburn Adams- Thor played center throughout the season, and was one of the most reliable men on the team. He graduates next term. Tomasello- Tom was a late addition to the team, but is a comer. Praise is due also to William Reese, who was prevented from active work by illnessg to Oscar Mosk, who was handicapped by weight, and to Fred Deutch, su center, Liebes, sub forwardg Joe Salzman, sub guard, and McWilliams, sub center. 1 10-POUND TEAM This five was organized at the very last moment, when it was seen that the original 110-pound team would have to go up a division. These fellows had practiced regularly throughout the semester and were good material for the new team. Little time was left for polishing up, however, and we may consider our- selves lucky to have had a team in this weight at all, as things were so unsettled. At this writing the team consists of Suhr and Miller, forwards, Goodman, center, and Allen and Coney, guards. 100-POUND TEAM Lowell's midget brigade started the season off with high hopes and every- thing seemed to be going great. Hobro was elected Captain of the five early in the term and John Baumgartner, Manager. Quite a few games were played and the team was beginning to find its stride when the unexpected vacation hopped in and broke things up completely. Nevertheless the fellows got together again later on in the term and seemed to have a fairly good chance to annex the title, although Mission High was said to have things pretty well settled in this division. The team consisted of Baumgartner and Pee VVee Kellum at forward, San- ford at center, and Ham Berger and Hobro at guard. Abbott, Miller and Wallis played in most of the practice games. Dutch Terasawa and Salzman also did good work.

F. A. L. championships in all four events. The League takes place next May, and the team at the present writing consists of Vtlallace Bates fCaptain and Managerj, Herbert Suhr, Robert Carson, Joseph Mitchell, Terry McMorry, Norman De Bach, VVilliam Cusick, and Irving Weinstein. Early in the semester the interclass was held and some clever court talent was brought out. Bob Carson succeeded in winning the event, after disposing of some stiff opposition on the part of De Bach, McMorry and Merkle. Manager Bates deserves a lot of praise for his unselfish work throughout the season. The running off of the interclass was quite a job in itself, but two dual meets with Polytechnic were also arranged. The Iirst was played off early in the semester when Suhr and Will Smith were at Poly, and resulted in each school winning six matches. In the return meet Lowell completely overwhelmed Poly, winning all of the twelve matches. gggglily-eigllt f--4------V ----- 7- -Z, 'ill ll-ll E ll... U W IE ll... ll.

The girls interested in swimming have practiced hard all season at Sutro Baths every Thurs- day afternoon. Swimming is rapidly becoming popular again. and will be a big sport next year. The following are the members of the team: Manager Hermina NVoCker-Hermina swims the sprints, back-stroke and relay. She managed the team well this year, and Lowell is indeed fortunate in having her at school for a year more. Captain Lucy Grimes-Lucy swims in the relay and also plunges. She is a hard worker and has been a fine captain. .lean Robinson-.lean swims the side-stroke in fast time. Mary NVockerfMary can always be depended on for a first place in the breast stroke. Anita Creely-J'Neet proves herself a dangerous opponent in the plunge for distance' and in diving. Biddy O'Sullivan-Biddy swims the breast stroke in fast time.

Owing to the large amount of material, both Miss Newhouse and Miss McNeely found it ditlieult to pick a real first team. The following is the team as it stands at present: Manager Eleanor Raphael and Grace Knoles at forward, both last year's players, formed the nucleus for the new team. Mignon Berndt, by her steady work, earned tap center. Dorothy Morse and Mabel Ludwig are a good pair of forwards. Matilda Mitchell made guard after hard practice. Sylvia NVaxman made center by her speed and jumping. Helen Mackintosh captained the team very successfully all season, playing center. Verne Clarke is a veteran from last year at guard. Evelyn McLaughlin, although new on the team, was a promising guard. Pauline McKenna, also new, showed great possibilities at center. Miss Postlewaite, a new girl at school, was used both at forward and at guard through- out the semester. Zifffy- TIHIE LOWIELL WEARERS OF THE BLOCK L FACULTY Frank Morton . . . ' . . .
