LITEI2 T The Fall of Quintus Fabius Long T VVAS the last day of the semester. The entire body of students of the Washington High School was assembled in the spacious :lg-'j 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 line 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 ofiice and then solemnly communicated their decision to the president. Quintus Long had won the medal. Amidst general 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 b0y's name, was his parents' only child. NVhen 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 iPage8 TlzeLoWELL son of his parents, earnest and quietg 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 Cfor Mrs. Long thought professors were the very acme of dignity and so distinguisheduj 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 fjust after he had won the prizej 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 fwhat he termed to his parentsj 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 the had taken the trouble to find out her namej 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 'could easily view her many charms. He gazed at her all period, and when theiteacher called upon him, he hadn't the faintest idea for June 1922 T099 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 'fmathu 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 Bushing a dull red, how,-how would you make a- a girl-1-like you? Well, what has struck you F '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 this curiosity overwhelming himj, is she pretty? Who is she P 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. , A 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 iniinitum. -Florine Olivieri. Tflgflo '1'heLOWELL The Millionaires HENVQ' panted Martin Hanks, when by dint of hard climbing, fi 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 l---- -l 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 bulk 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 F 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 beeiin' 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 beltfl 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 ! 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 Tdefll 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. UW-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 Burkef Wot ll We do-with the salvage ? demanded Jim. P- 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: A You know, Mart, I heerd once, that up in Alasky, when a boy finds some gold on a place he claims it, or somethin'g anyway it becomes his'n. Why couldn't we do that F Mart Hanks was silent for a moment. -lumpin' 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 mateysf' 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. Tagelz 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 isnit gold. It may look like it, but it isn't. Ever heard of Fool's Gold? No P Well, it's a mixture of sulphur and iron found practically everywhere in the world. Thatis what this is. 'KHonest P Honest 'tAin't it worth nothin'? VVell, about Ioc a ton, said the man, laughing. Little Husky led Big Jim away. Half stupeiied, 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! VVe 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, 'gainit we in all the swag We won from that crew of highbinders P -Gordon Cole.

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 bloomg The Hulfy sweet of Life is here- Gladness, bright hope, good cheer, Here underneath this portal's greyish gloom. for June 1922 Tageig 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 thelsphinx 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. ' -Iustino Villasefwr. 7348514 The LOWELL All For His Landlady Fon Two HOURS they argued- 1 It'll revolutionize the railroad industry. Give my invention a chance a11d 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! bk if Pk 2: 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! -I. Maurice Robinson. for lune 1922 -M Too ,Qate The last of the strains were played, The deep-bent head arose, The nervous hand was stayed From rend'ring something more. 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 Cf the fiddler freely flowed, His success had come too late. -Philip Mathias. S przhg NOW SPRING is here!

All about her was laughter and merri- ment, for the Feast of the Lanterns would soon be at hand-her il 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 ayoung 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. He would arrange for their flight together. In the meantime she must promise to be happy and trust all to him. T'sing Tlsing 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. Tageis Th6LOWELL 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 hislgarden, gradually nearing the room in which he sat, the Mandarin would not have been smoking his pipe so peacefully with the cruel 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 F ug 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 Hash of steel, a loud piercing cry-Chang Chow Fu, the great and powerful Man- darin, fell to the ground. Pui Kwangls 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 prisong accused of having murdered Chang Chow Fu and sentenced to be put to death upon the first day of the Feast of the Lanternsg 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 Tising 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 overiiowing. 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 Cheeg 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 Mandarinis death. The Gods had not willed that the for June 1922 Tagal9 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 Tising 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 weepingg 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 5 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 Hash of lightning, a peal of thunder-the rain came down in torrents. Everyone stood aghast at this un- expected happening. A second Hash 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 Tegew 'I'lzeLOWELL hour they had reached the summit g there the men left them. Ling Chee and T'sing Tising 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. T fze Qure Q' Ike Sea 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 cavesg 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 bil1ow's crest Of Father Neptune's heaving breast. Where the sea winds do forever blow, Where the briny weeds and fishes grow 3 And the breakers throw their chalky crest Upon the sea-shore's weary breast- VVhere the white gulls Hap their wings on high, And glide and hover in the skyg A VV here 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 Pucciuelli. 'w A f . - jf SENIORS I M ipage zz y Th8LOWELL I E. S.

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. 9 ,Ny Tags ROSALIE C. ALLENBERG RAYMOND T.ANIX'1'ER FRANCIS L. ASHBY PAUL A.

This means that Une Day Committees, club memberships, and inter-class activities have been ruled out. A word of ex- planation may be 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.

J. Cloud, Deputy Superintendent of Schools IN ADDREss1No 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 fIQO5-IQIIJ 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 sinceg and a mere catalogue of names of the boys and girls of the earlier day would shed luster upon any institution. Today, IJOWELL has a substantial, well equipped building. Its enrollment has fully doubled that of my time. Its number of teachers has been largely increased, and my esteemed colleague of former days, Mr. F. I-I. 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 Lowizu. 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 IQ22 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. VVe 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- Miz. riuznmucx H. CLARK 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 Schoolf' 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 LONVELL 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 Principal Taguo Th6LOWELL 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 provide athletic sports in which all for June 1922 Tdg-641 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. , VV ith 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 'CTI-IE LOWELLD Was Begun AFTER the lapse of nearly a quarter of a century it seemed very appropriate to re- quest Mr. Monroe E. Deutsch, theieditor of the original HLOWELLU 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 tive 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 T1112 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 Tflgvu 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 UTHE IDWELLJJ 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 KKTHE LOWELLH 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, HTHE LOWELLD being the more dignified of the two names and surely equally distinctive. For 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 g 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 LOWELLU 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 ULOWELLU 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 fromuthe criticism, but it is certain that Mr. Kellogg gave them the fullest possible opportunity for steady improvement. A LoWell's Alumni Association EDUCIXTION 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. Pfesidfn' There is something which holds us closely to our ALMA lXdATER, 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 A. Douglas Menfzie, President. 7303544 The 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 iniirmity, in- creases with age, prompts us to suggest thatia standard dimension be adopted for this publication, to the end that our collection of LOWELI.s may be neat and attractive. W Q ' 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 LOWELLJS most bleak ani' 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. A 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 7303545 ETTORE 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 Constitution is our most powerful and responsible organization. The one pictured above has successfully taken care of LOVVEl.I. 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-helpful co-operation of its faculty members, we may well extend our sincere thanks and undying commendation. , 'QJ3 fvo f Fw llllgjvd I . for June IQ22 QW- , Tdgvss Top Row: MILLER, BROOKE, YABO, ANDERSON, SHERMAN um, sHERMAN qJ.p,cUT1Em1sz Third Row: FALK, MAYo, cn1NI'rz, wma, Biusrow, no'rY, PEREYM, SALMON qL.J, ckocicsiz second Row: cAN'roR, Miss Perm, Miss BIRCH, Miss NEPPERT, Miss MCCONNON, Miss CONOVER, CREAGH, ' SALMON u,.p, LYONS First Row: Toys, scnwmvrz qA.y, SPIEGELMAN, STEINBERG, COLDSTEIN, 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.

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.

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'Mal1ey, Miss Hermann and Mr. Dakin, faculty advisers, have given many valuable suggestions.

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 LOVVELL publications, has been a consistent and energetic worker. He leaves behind him an enviable and unprece- dented record, having collected the FORMIDABLE sum of S1450 in the Ad Drive alone. The student body also owes deep gratitude to Mr. Leroy H.

Last t6I'1'H,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 difli- 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 LOWVEl.L.S musicians was Frank Lovett, banjo: llill Sesnon, saxophoneg Llewellyn Forrest, piano: Lee Raymond, drums: Fred Moore, trom- boneg 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 LOVVELL,S Dance Orchestra. 4 Pagags The LOWELL Second Battalion unior R.O.T.C. THE LOWELL BATTALION JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICERS, TRAINING CoRPs has com- pleted its seventh term with a total enrollment of 235. The organization and discipline of the R. O. T. 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. The 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 Battalion is completely officered by students. The 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.

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 cle Laguna. Words fail to frame a fitting tribute to her unselfish interest. George Keefe, President, Rowena Ferguson, Vice-President, Milton Morris, Secretaryg James Healey, Treasurer, VVilliam McDonnell, Representative, are the ofiicers 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, LOVVELL won both sides of the question. Her representatives were Alfonso Zirpoli and Stanley Weigel, affirmative at LOWELLQ Newton Zobel and Merrick Creagh, negative, at Santa Cruz. This publication goes to press before the San Jose debate. Our representatives are Stanley VVeigel, Alfonso Zirpoli, negative, at LOWELL, and VVilliam McDonnell and Benjamin VVeiner, 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 LOXVELI. was sched- uled. Newton Zobel, Merrick Creagh, John Haman and Alfonso Zirpoli will be I-ovvE1,1.'s team for this debate. .V it :Qc if ,NV QQXJ QU T? MH i W W KV tri' The LOWELL The Cafeteria i LOW'ELL,S Cafeteria 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. VVhen 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 Manager efficient and capable. The caf does a daily business of about 3200. 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 Vtfhelan, and Miss Bowman for their interest and help. Recognition is also due the students, who, with Miss Whelail, 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.

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 ANGU5 HORNBLOWFR there might be blooming flowers there all M155 VFSTA SUTTON 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 dehlement 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 VVilson. 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. Chairman Chairman THE CAMERA CLUB To the Camera Club is entrusted the task of recording Low1a1.L's activities in graphic form. The Club is composed of student photographers, who meet once a week to discuss photography and to exhibit their work. Tf1gv66 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, V ice-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- Presidentg 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 Gorhnkel, Director. for June 1922 7243667 THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB he Girls' Glee Club has just completed a very successful and enjoyable term inder the helpful guidance of Miss Badger, who has taught its members the worth of co-operation.

THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB I The members of the Boys' Glee Club receive credit toward graduation. The Club boasts a membership of thirty, under the efficient supervision of Miss Nep- pert, whose cheerful instruction makes the four periods a week seem almost too short a time. The Club is often called upon to furnish entertainment for the rallies and as- semblies, and when in is known that they are on the program, every one looks forward to an enjoyable fifteen minutes or more. The ofiicers of the Club are: H. McNamara, Presidentg 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. The 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 C all 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 CLOWELLD Battalion, Reserve Offi- cers Training Corps. Pagaes TheLoWELL 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. Flexsenhar, O. R. C., Sergeant-at-Arms, Captain S. P. T. Sorensen, O. R. C., Master-of- the-Swordg Major Arthur H. Dakin, R. O. T. C., Armorer. THE JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY The Junior Literary Society is one in which all Freshmen and Sophoniores should be interested. The purpose of this Society is to educate its members in the lives and works of the reputable authorsg to encourage and stimulate declamation and public speaking 5 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 ofiicers of this Club are: Mervin Levy, President, Helen Flannery, Vice- Presidentg Anita Isaacs, Secretary, and Edward Bransten, Publicity Manager. CAR-BOOKS Early in the spring of 1915, the 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.

'x r' Sff Mahoney Q2 wffgsj 'i'ATHL1:T1Cs X Tf1gff76 The LOWELL Baseball g B.XSIEB.XLL 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 XVhite 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. LONVELL Z-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 Cavmin 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. CHARLES BUCHANAN 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 for June 1922 Tw 77 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 O-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. LOVVELL, 8, COMMERCE, 6 With Tapson's place filled alternately by Cook and Rankin, and with Maguire back at left Held, the team put over a winning game on what was supposedly the strongest team in the league. Castignetto and XVeisbart did some keen hitting for the Red and White and added greatly to the score. This victory only proved our old suspicion that LoW1iI.L'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. JThe 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 IQI9, LOVVELL has been unable to put over a win. lVith 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.

His playing has been consistently good all season. RICHARD PATTERSON CManagerD Dick showed the critics what a steady center gardener should be like. His hitting improved one- third over last year'sg his fielding was almost excellent. VVILLIAM MAGUIRE The old slugger sure slugged this year. Putting him at cleanup was a wise move. In Gelding flies he ranked with the best. Another season ought to Fmd Mac a finished high school outlielder. SIDNEY WEISBART Sirl 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 Erst it was thought Louie would be our regular left-Fielder, but Maguii-e'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. WILLIAM MAGUIRE SYDNEY WEISBART ELMER GAETJEN for June IQ22 JOHN CASTAGNETTO JOHN Mokss FORREST RANKIN MEMBERS OF 1922 BASEBALL TEAM JOHN CASTAGNETTO 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 V Curses! That one fault, lack of control, has kept many a man down. Outside of that, a better array of fast-balls, 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. Besides 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. Tage 79 JACK NOUNNAN EUGENE FULTON EDWARD NEVVMAN E TWSO 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 Weisbartis 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. forfiune 1922 Tage81 WALTER LIGHTNER MILTON MORRIS JAMES HANLEY T 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.

It should be our ambition to continue to maintain 1 MISS MARIE WILSON this I'CCOI'Cl l1'1 the flltllfe. Tagefiz The LOWELL The Swimming Team 01? 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 L0wm.I.'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 DONALD BROPHY Brophy and Johnny Meyer. The results of the Captain meet show how conscientiously the men worked. S. F. A. L. MEET LOWELL 58 LICK-VVILMERDING 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-VVilmerding. The first race of the day was the 50-yard Unlimited. LUXYELI. rooters were on their feet and saw Hobdy of LOWELI. 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 Lowizm., and her rooters went wild. The next race gave LOVVIELI. 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 LOVVELL. Meyer and Charlie VVeiler of Poly put on two great races. The 50-yard event went to VVeiler 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 be a real dynamo of energy and of great endurance. As a point holder, Allen was the individual star of the for June IQ22 T'f1gf83 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 LowlaI.L 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, Dim Hanley was beaten out by only one stroke for first place. Hobdy and Frazier swam in the backstroke for the Red and iVhite and won a first and second, giving Lowizu. a substantial lead in points. Jerry Felton and Doe 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 l.OWELL'S strong point, nevertheless Ivan Sullivan surprised everyone by taking third.

The LowELL DONALD BROPHY JOHN MEYER ' CHAMPIGNSHIP SWIMMING TEAM DONALD BROPHY Poor Don trained hard all sea- son and then took sick with fiu. 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 heat 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. 1 1 GERARD FELTON CLARENCE FRAZIER JAMES HANLEY JOE SMITH for June 1922 H3185 MALCOLM REISS ARDEN ALLEN WARREN HOBDY ' 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 xoo, 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. WI N'IH ROP 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 50-yard backstroke. IVAN SULLIVAN Sulli took third place in the 50-yard, the loo-yard dash and in diving. He swam a great lap in the relay and gained a big lead for the Lowell team. LEONARD SCHWARTZ WINTHROP HART IVAN SULLIVAN Tage86 TlzeLowELL The Unlimited Basketball Team UNLUCKYU is hardly the word to use when speaking of our unlimiteds. Starting on practically no founda- tion, Coach V oyne 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 Captain put in one basket and, in fact, both teams displayed very ragged shooting.

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 Foss', Rankin and 'fSmoke Francis had an argument, and as a result both were put off the Hoor. Lowell gained by this, for when Ujohnnyl' Morse and Al Smith went in, the game certainly Ugathered no moss.'

Basketball Team THIS YEARJS 45'sU 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 I5 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 23I'ClQ the final score was: Lowell, 295 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 fCaptainD.- 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.

Basketball Team Fox EARLY SEASON PROSPECTS, the 'K45's had nothing on the 3O'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 CCaptainj.-Aubin played at forward in the S. F. A. L., and showed a good knowledge of the Captain g21ll1C. VVilliam De Martini flllanagerj.- NVop, our center, was only about three yards long, but had enough fight for five. Al Weriier.- 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.-UCoeky, at standing guard, always furnished plenty of thrills. Benny Cook, running guardg Bud Ainsworth, forward, Fred Ehrman, standing guardg Pussy Latimore, forward, Val Scales, center, and Jim Hanley, running guard, comprised the rest of the team. AUBIN BARTHOLD 7348890 The LOWELL Championship Unlimited Track Team THE 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 LoW1zl-I.. Going on the Held just after the weight team had won its victory, the unlimited team put on a great tight for initial honors. and, with the Hnal result depending on the relay, the Red and NVhite snatched the meet from Cogswell by I IX3 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. LOVVELL-FREMONT MEET Lowizu. 73M Fremont 472 On April 8, in wind and cold, the team met Fremont at the Stadium and returned victorious FORREST RANKIN with a score of 26 points. LOVVELL led throughout Cnpmin 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 off 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 'ffond hopes as he saw his men making great progress. S. F. A. L. MEET, MAY 6 LONVELL 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. Vtfithout any training Morris took first place in both the loo 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, Lowizu. finished the meet with 36 points to Cogswell's 34? and Polyis 34. Humboldt, Mission, Commerce, Lick-VVilmerding, and St. Ignatius Hnished in the order named. for June IQ22 Qfageqi Louis Enos of Humboldt was the star of the meet with I5 points while Smoke'l Francis of Poly was second with I3 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 NVilliamson. Stilson won the pole vault after not having touched the pole since breaking his wrist a year ago. The big surprise, however, was when VVilliamson 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.f1.

LOWELL-CCGSWELL 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 LOWELL 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. SIMON ANNIXTER ' I ' p!a'n t R P3 LOVVELL-FREMONT MEET Lowell 85 Fremont IQ 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. LOVVELL-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 Sirday, Kay 6, the championship became a reality when the red and white team mhed on the long end of a score. Poly was second in this -is 779294 The LOWELL meet, followed in order by Cogswell, Mission, Lick-XV.ilmerding, Commerce, Sacred Heart and St. Ignatius. XYithout exception the team made weight and took the Held in perfect condi- tion although casualities 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. Al Fest was forced to run in the relay after having collapsed at the hnish of the 440. The I2O-17OU11Cl relay was ruined, for Peters sprained an ankle in the 75-yard dash and had to run regardless of his injury. The 110-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 If5 seconds. Sev- eral other new records were also set, but not by Low121.I. men. Mason of Mission broke the 1oo-pound 50-yard record when he ran the sprint in 5 4f5 seconds: Martin of Poly set a new record in the 110-pound broadjump when he cleared 20 ft. 2LQ in. 3 jukich of Cogswell set a new record for the shotput when he heaved the bullet 47 ft. 925 in., and Poly's 120-1JOL1I'1Cl relay team broke the record held by the LOVVELL team composed of Peters, McNaught, Protopappas, and McGowan, when they covered the half-mile circuit in 1.42 215. 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.

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 LOVVELL 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 clue to other activities, displayed rare skill in the S. F. A. L.g 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. n 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 on Saturday, May 13: Heilbron CLQ defeated Riley QS.I-ID, 6-0, 6-Ig Dunn QL.j defeated Kotta QL. W.j, 6-4, 6-45 Gaetjen defeated Castro QL. WJ, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. - The following Wednesday, Heilbron CL.j defeated Franklin CPJ, 6-1, 6-2. On Saturday, May 20, Heilbron defeated Ashman CL. WJ, 6-2, 6-23 Dunn defeated Kelly QMJ, 3-6, 6-0, 6-I. For the championship of the 130 S. F. A. L., Heilbron defeated Dunn CLD, 6-0, 6-4. In the Unlimited Double Finals, Periolet and Rudi CPJ defeated Gold and Gaetjen QL.j, 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. for June IQ22 7:08097 DUNN HARVEY HEILBRON GOLD CAETJEN -S Tags 98 The LOWELL B.

VVe 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.

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 Satterlield, Anne Satterfield, Ethel Ohm, Dorothy Byington and Ora Cuneo.

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-. l 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. Wfell, 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 C Variety of opinion, said Julius Caesar, is the spice of life.

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! CHurray for uslj 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. 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 Tags IOS 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?

Tags 106 The LOWELL OUR BUSINESS MANAGER Bissingcr, I asked, how did you make your first million for the 'Artistic Annu- al' P 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- sellish, you know. Before I couldisay 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 S2 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?

Our thanks are also due to Paul Bissinger and his en- ergetic business staff for that success which made pos- sible a June, ,22,, unlimited by financial necessities. The Classified Ad drive of this term alone netted about S1 500. VV e wish to express our appreciation to the Boussom Studio for their prompt and excellent serviceg to the Commercial Art Company, who did our cuts in a very creditable mannerg and last, but not least, to Mr. Henry R. Harvey, our publisher, for his consistently careful personal supervision of this book. VV e again thank our advertisers and urge the students to patronize them. QQ if 4 X S 5 5 E 5 JS 14 i.
