Class History I , 'K 'I iEN, in August, 1921, the class of freshnicn entered Lowell, there was N something quite unusual, quite different about them, for they came not , 5 ' Q as the proverbial freshmen shaking in their shoes, or with quaking knees 'I Q 3' but confident, eager to start their high school careers, for this was the f 1 beginning of a new period in their lives to which most of them had long x - KE I looked forward. There was already an unequaled spirit of loyalty to H 1' n Lowell among them. Coming this way, is it any wonder that june '25 can boast of active members in her class? So, now at the end of our four years, we have a history, one telling of our good spirit, work, and accomplishments. This is a history to boast of, one to be envied and copied. History repeats itself?y' XfVell, here's a time when a repetition would surely be to its credit. The first few weeks were a little different from anything we had ever experienced before. There was that feeling of being not quite in it. But then came the reception given by the High and Mighticsf' They didn't hold out much hope for us then, but a good time was provided, and we all tried and succeeded in getting a little better ac- quainted. Since then we've surprised them all by our pep! The excitement died down, the newness was wearing off and we wandered hopefully about trying to absorb a fairly intelligent amount of Latin, Math, and the rest of the tortuous subjects we had to take. So we struggled until we were Juniors. Things began to look brighter then. Wie felt as though we were becoming quite an important unit in Lowell's workings, for certain sturdy young athletes as joe Smith, Harold Brown, Frank VVagner, and Marsh Dunn were in our ranks. The girls- Bernice Ludwig, Virginia Tucker, Elna Swesey, Henrietta Landman, Betty Hoffman and VVinnie Hamm, also eager to give vent to their peut-up Lowell spirits, turned out for all the girls' sports. ' The time for class organization had come and we chose Scott Webster president, Helen Garvin vice-president, Fred Ducato secretary, Harry Bright treasurer, Dorothy Brown representative, Joe Smith and Margaret Kilgariff as boys! and girls' athletic f'reps. Our dance was a very eventful affair, one of the shining lights of the term. VVith the coming of the next semester when we were High juniors, Harry Bright as president, Dorothy Brown as vice-president, Al Putnam as secretary, Bunnie Kimball as treasurer, Joe Smith as rep and Perry Harris and Helene Turner as athletic reps, comprised a capable group to handle class affairs. Again our dance proved excep- tional. Yes, the others were beginning to look forward to our dances! And with the help of such swimmers as Ducato, NVebster, Smith, Burns, and Putnam, Lowell added another S. F. A. L. championship to her list. After summer vacation we returned with renewed pep. It was our last lap and we meant to win! So the term started off with a bang when the class organized under the capable leadership of BunnieH Kimball as president, who got us Classy pins, Matie McLaren as vice-president, Kenneth Berry as secretary, VVagner d'Alessio as treasurer, Perry Harris as rep, and Myron Wacholder and Dorothy Weber as boys' and girls' athletic managers. This was a football term-what possibilities for us to turn out good material, and we did! There was Joe Smith, captain of the team, with a fighting bunch behind him. Cole, Preston, Rogerson, Campbell, Vredenburg, and Valianos gave all they had. With this support Lowell took down a championship in football, the first time in eight years. Proud? Well, guess! Then came the spring term again-our coveted diplomas only six months away. lfVith Fred Ducato, Margorie Leeper, George Bocarde, Frank wagner, Bob Kasper, Jack Smith and Evelyn VVebb as class officers we looked forward to startling events! Probably the first one was the announcement of class dues and the untiring efforts of Wagner to collect them. Also, there seemed to be renewed interest in studies- recs in the distance perhaps. Then came the election of valedictorian and historian. Sanford Goldner, chosen valedictorian, was indeed a good selection as he has been one of our best debaters and workers. Now, Senior Day, the one time that high fours have entirely to themselves. How the High Seniors are envied on this day! A pilgrimage through the building, the reading of the class prophecy and history, entertainment by members of the class, luncheon in the A'caf and the matinee provided ample amusement for one day. June 5-our dance-the best ever at Lowell, our last social function together perhaps. June 17-graduation at last! joy for some, sorrow for others, but let all go with those ideals of loyalty, sincerity, earnestness and love for Lowell secure in their hearts. With sincerity and enthusiasm to keep us ever young in spirit, with minds ready to compete with those that we come in contact out in the world, and with an ever grow- ing desire forrmore learning which has been awakened in us here, we the class of june '25, venture forth hoping to become men and women worthy of the standards and ideals set forth and instilled in us during our four years at Lowell.
