Although lim- 5 X Q 9 ited by the one ideal, the editors for June, 1923, have ae'w,M tried to vary the spirit of sameness common to pre- WWW vious publications. They believe that the majority desire, not a catalog, but an artistic and literary exposition of Lowe'll's activities to treasure proudly in future years. The labor of an hundred pairs of hands is of infinitely more value than that of one. This term a large staff shared the work of the editorg with what result is for you to determine. One innovation was the compilation of only three sections, this prevents the repetition of such equivalent titles as: The Spring Term, Organizations,', Activitie's,', in the same book. In the Senior division the pictures were made smaller that car- toons might be included. The pages devoted to Jokes have been entirely omitted because their correlation with school life is doubt- ful and because they were largely made up of exchange material. On the other hand, it has been said that art work is also un- necessary. Sentimental value is, however, greatly enhanced, and a stimulus given to Lowell artists that may produce great men, professionally, and more than repay the Cost of the whole publica- tion. Marshall Smith and Ezra Gotthelf are responsible for the unsigned decorative work on this page and elsewhere. Mr. Harvey as printer gave many valuable suggestions, and Mr. Langton of the Sier '. A the 11 rt 81 Engraving Co. often worked with editor well toward the small hours of the morning.

L61 '1' H E R E D A N n w H 1 T E The San Francisco High Schools By MR. FREDERICK H. CLARK EVERY YEAR the Recorder of the Faculties of the University of California publishes statistics compiled from the scholar- ship records of the members of the Freshman class. From these records a rating or percentage is computed for each high school represented in the class. This year the rating takes the form of a percentage of the number of the grad- uates of the high school who stand above the lowest third ot' the Freshman class. For example, the Sobrante high school sent twenty graduates to the Freshman class and fifteen of them stood above the lowest third of the entire Freshman class made up from all high schools-the rating MR. CLARK The Principal A significant feature of this method of rating is that the percentage is sure to be affected by the number of students in the high school delegation. This is a point commonly overlooked by newspaper paragraphers, but a moment's thought of the school was seventy-five per cent. will show its importance. If a school sent only one student who out-ranked the lowest third of the class, this school would stand 100 per cent. On the other hand suppose that some very large school contributed to the Freshman class more than two-thirds of the total number in the class, then some of its representatives would necessarily stand in the lowest third, and this school could not be 100 per cent. Of course no such large school exists, but the example illustrates the principle that the greater number of Freshmen a given school contributes the greater the number of chances of having some of them stand in the lowest third of the class. This year the Recorder has issued a special bulletin giving the comparative standing in numbers registered, numbers withdrawn, and percentage of repre- sentatives standing above the lowest third for all of the high schools in the Bay cities-Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. Eleven schools in all are included. Berkeley High School sent the largest number-193. The Technical High School of Oakland stands second with 115, and Lowell High School comes third for numbers, registering 87. As explained above this point of numbers is essential in any complete comparison of the schools. In this comparison the San Francisco high schools make a good showing. The one school among the eleven standing 100 per cent is the San Francisco High School of Commerce on a delegation of five students. The Girls High School ranks second with 94 per cent on a representation of 22 students. The next two percentages go to Alameda High School and the University High School of Oakland with stand- ings of 83 per cent and 77 per cent respectively-Alameda represented by 25 and University High School by 33 students. Lowell High School has the fifth position with a percentage of 75 on a representation of 87, the third largest number in the
