THE TEAMS FOR THE past three terms Lowell debating teams have successfully competed for championship honors in the San Francisco Public Day School Debating League. To date they have won eight league contests and two outside debates, losing only twice during the three terms. Their success is due to Mr. Devaul, the faculty advisor, who instructed the speakers in the art of debating. VVith such eotiperation between teams and coach we feel assured that Lowell will win the championship of the S. F. D. L.

This term there was a large increase in the member- ship and the programs offered were more interesting and varied than ever before. The music of different countries was studied and the lives of great composers discussed. Very often members gave selections on various instruments or sang to illustrate the lectures. As many of the present 1ne1n- bers are being graduated, opportunity for membership will again be open. Those who do not play or sing may become associate members. The cooperation of the members with the officers and NITA COOPER President committees has helped to make this semester the most successful one in the history of the club. The oflicers this term are: President, Nita Cooperg vice-president, Helen Morris, secretary, Ilah Grubb, director, Norman Smith. The R. O. T. C. Band Lowell should feel proud of her most rapidly growing school organization, the B. 0. T. C. Band. At the beginning of the term the band was organized with a membership of thirty-two. Although the instrumentation is not complete, the cadets have strive11 hard, and under the skillful leadership of Mr. Kennedy, have taken an important part in the activities of the school. At a recent rally the school had an opportunity to hear its work, and from the applause it certainly met with unanimous approval. There are also many interested spectators on hand during the drills on Wednesday, the eighth period. It is quite evident to all that with the formation of the band new spirit was instilled into all the R. O. T. C. Their splendid spirit was' shown during their participation in several drills and parades. Norman VVihr is the band leader and did much to improve the organization.
