California December i926 1 IME The RED E99 WHITE Ni DECEMBER, 1926 4 4 l 1 The memorable date which marks the founding of our nation commemorates also an event dear to the hearts of San Franciscans. The establishment of a Spanish mission and presidio on a marsh-covered peninsula in 1776 laid the foundations of that great and enterprising city Which now claims Lowell High School as one of its foremost institutions of learning. San Francisco has pro- gressed amazingly since those early days. lt has become the commercial and industrial center of the Vwlest. Still, there clings to our heart a love of those ro- mantic days when tolling mission bells called the lndians to prayer, and gay Span- ish caballeros sang and danced in the public squares which are now bustling thoroughfares. And so, on this sesquicentennial anniversary of the founding of our city, We have endeavored to make this journal commemorative of San Francisco's early life. We sincerely hope that our efforts will meet with approval and will serve as a remembrance of happy days at Lowell. if DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE CLASSES GRADUATES PUBLICATIONS ORGANIZATRJNS R.

This was really a secondary school and its students were destined to form the nucleus of the Lowell. The pupils were eighty in all, and were chosen from the most advanced classes of the grammar schools. lt was under the direction of Principal Ellis H. Holmes of Massachusetts that the subjects mathematics, science, history, Latin, and Greek were taught. On June 8, 1858, the Union Grammar School was reorganized into the San Francisco High School, and at the same time its curriculum was increased. In the meantime the Board of Education purchased a building on Powell Street between Sacramento and Clay, and equipped it for a modern high school. The 6th of September, 1860, the San Francisco High School was formally dedi- cated: the Rev, Thomas Starr King was principal speaker of the day. Again in June, 1864, a change occurred in the organization of the school. The boys and girls were separated: the girls were transferred to a new building at Stockton and Bush streets, while the boys remained in the original building, now renamed the Boys' High School. Mr. Minns, a former fellow student of James Russell Lowell at Harvard, was now made principal of the Boys' High School. Because of increasing members, the Boys' High School was transferred, in 1875, from Powell Street to Sutter Street, between Gough and Octavia. Then, in 1887, since the classical languages which were necessary for admission to the university had been discontinued in the Girls' High School, girls were admitted to the Boys' High School. During the same year the school was renamed Lowell High School. Finally, in 1912, after repeated reorganization, our present build- ing was dedicated, retaining the name of Lowell. During the following years, under the guidance of Mr. Frank Morton, who had succeeded Mr. Minns, Lowell made rapid progress in her scholastic and ath- letic standards. The curriculum was also altered so that four years was required of the students instead of three. Very early in Lowel1's existence publications were edited, the first being The Lowell, in 1898, a journal of school life and activities. At the same time the Athletic Association organized. Mr. Morton was succeeded by Mr. Clark, who was a pupil at Boys' High School, and was also for many years teacher at Lowell. The name Lowell interprets: Loyalty, Opportunity, Energy, and Love for fellow students. 161 DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE SUB PONDERE E CRESGT E The hope of Truth grows stronger, day by dayg lhear the soul of man around me waking, Like a great sea. its frozen fetters breaking, And flinging up to heaven its sunlit spray, To sing huge continents in scornful play, And crushing them, with din of grinding thunder, That makes old emptinesses stare in wonder: The memory of a glory passed away Lingers in every heart, as, in the shell, Resounds the bygone freedom of the sea, And every hour new signs of promise tell, That the great soul shall once again be free, For high, and yet more high, the murmurs swell Of inward strife for truth and liberty. -JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. lvl The RED EG? WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 A Message from Mr. F. H. Clark M9 . SCHOOL and CITY We count the years of the Lowell High School from 1856, the date of the establishment of the original high school in San Francisco. Seventy years: and who, if not THE RED AND WHITE, shall recount the events of our lifetime or hand down the memories to those who come after us? This year, 1926, has seen the celebration of two great anniversaries-the sesquicentennials of the independence of the United States and of the beginning of San Francisco in the foundation of the missions, events at the time separated by the width of the continent, but now brought together in the mighty stream of American history. Lowell and San Francisco, our school and our city: the one name brought to us from the Eastern seaboard, with its heritage of brilliant scholarship and social and political leadershipg the other cherished as our birthplace and home. What can this issue of THE RED AND WHITE contribute to the credit of the school and the honor of the city? One must honor both or neither: they cannot be separated. Athens, rallying from defeat and strengthening herself against Macedonian dangers, turned to her youth verging on manhood for the defense. Beset by no such outward perils, San Francisco, however, rests her hopes for the future in the honor and the integrity of her valiant youth. Equally, our school and our city need the devotion of the students and of citizens. As something to recall in times of temptation and stress, THE RED AND WHITE takes advantage of this noteworthy year and offers to the student body of Lowell High School this slightly modified translation of the old Athenian oath: We will never bring disgrace to this, our school, by an act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our comrades, we will uphold the ideals and sacred things of the school, both alone and with many: we will revere and obey the city's laws, and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in othersg we will strive unceasingly to quicken the general sense of public duty, and transmit this school greater, better, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. -MR. F. H. CLARK. ll 8 ll DECEMBER, 1926 The RED EG? WHITE l CLASS-ES Before man made us citizens, great Nature made us men. -JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The Seniors turn uncertain from our shore Into Life's ever changing stormy sea, They only pause to gaze at us once more, Ere they are gone, a cherished memory. The rest shall for a few swift passing years In Alma Mater's harbors yet remain, Until once more Old Time shall reappear To turn the fateful hour-glass again. -RALPH BERRINGER 62133. - H1011 DECEMBER, 199.6 The RED E99 WHITE Freshman The class of June, 1930, gave an entertainment Q at their reception. This was an innovation and augurs 5 U' well for their future in student activities. i l l The entire freshman class boasts almost six hun- rl' a i dred students, of whom 360 are boys, They are di- --'-- vided into sixteen classes: ten are studying Latin, four , Spanish, and two French. This shows an ambitious ---iff ' and scholarly spirit. While the Hrst-year students are purposely held back from entering into the social activities of the school because of their need of a good scholastic foundation, they are not passive in school life, for there are many opportunities for active participation on the athletic teams, committees, and in clubs. They are given responsibilities by being represented in the Boys' and Girls' Councils, having their own dues collectors, and having the privilege of voting for L. H. S. S. A. officers. The first year serves as a preparatory period for cultivating the renowned Lowell spirit, and from advance reports they are learning rapidly. l-et', . -1era-. .. lil l i , Sophomore W What does it mean to be a sophomore? It means F that one is not a freshman any longer, and that one is privileged to enter more fully into the activities of the -33 1 Q school. The names of the students of this sophomore 7, 'T class, both boys and girls, can be found on the rosters 1 of the committees, on the athletic teams, in the clubs, both as members and oflicers. Members of the sopho- more class are contributing to the success of the publi- cations-The Lowell and THE RED AND WHITE-and they are represented in the Boys' and Girls' Councils. This indicates that the students of the sophomore class are developing the splendid qualities which they will need in their future school life-qualities of perseverance, diligence, scholarship, service and loyalty to school and country. This sophomore class can and will be depended upon to uphold the standard and traditions of Lowell, both on the athletic Held and in the classroom. ll H l The RED 599 WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 HERBERT L.ONG JEAN OLIVER WILLIAM BALL President Vice-President Secretary The LOW JUNIORS HE class of June, '28, for the first time in two years are together, but this time as an organized body, They have successfully grasped the reins of upper-classmen. The members of the class have been constant in their support of activities in the. school, and the class as a whole has proved itself worthy Low Juniors. The final selection of officers were Herbert Long, president: Jean Oliver, vice- president, and William Ball, secretary. The big social event of the year, the Junior Dance, was held, as in previous years, in conjunction with the High Juniors, and proved a great success. For this much credit must be given the competent dance committee. There are many Low Juniors who have made records not only in athletic competition, but also in their service to Lowell. Among the most prominent are Herb Long, crew, basketball, soccer: Jimmy Campbell, baseballg Jack Mayer and Henry Grace, basketballg Shell Potter, football and track: Ham Hedge, football and track, Bill Ball, basketball. Girls heading the list are Jean Oliver, Katherine Vensono, Harriet McKay, Helen Bassett, and Delilah Redfield. Much praise must be given this class which in the future will add to the firm foundation of Lowell's good name, for they have started out in the right direc- tion and doubtless will so forge ahead to success. lull DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE J: LARRY RHINE ANGELA MICKLE WEs'rDAHL President Vice-President Secreta ry The HIGH JUNIORS NDER the capable guidance of their selected oflicers-Larry Rhine, president: Angela Mickle, vice-president, and Lawrence Westdahl, secretary-the high juniors have enjoyed a most successful and event- ful semester.

Among the girls who have done notable work for their school are Dorothy Dineley, Angela Mickle, Virginia XVise, Gautier Harris, and Eugenia Mickle, On October 22 the two junior classes joined in giving the first social event of the term-the junior dance. The committee that worked so hard to insure the success of the dance was Larry Rhine, Angela Mickle, Maurice McColley, Doro- thy Dineley, Herbert Long, Jean Oliver, William Ball, Ruth Russ, Wallace Moore, and Sheldon Potter. lull The RED ff?

The class has now only to conquer the last step of that long flight that stood before them in that memorable August of 1923, but now that the realization of the dream is closing they know that those stairs behind them Were days of enjoy, ment and hope from which fond memories and recollections will live forever. lull DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE u 'Mir ELMER ANFINSON RUTH KIBBFE GEORGE MCDAMEL President Vice-President Secretary The HIGH SENIORS HE high senior class may Well be called the captain of our ship of state, for from it are selected the guiding oflicers of our student body. This term the high senior class has given the school needed support in athletics and school activities. Practically all of the mem- bers have been active and the Whole group deserves the thanks of the entire student body. From the ranks of this class are selected the president and vice-president of our student association: Guido Caglieri and Virginia de Camp, president and vice-president, respectively.

ANUARY 18, 1922, found us, three hundred strong, eagerly waiting to enter the little red school house. For eight years we had looked forward to this moment and at last the long awaited time had arrived. That first day was spent in registration, and the second saw the newcomers at work, Hlled with enthusiasm, interest, and application. Thus we showed ourselves to be serious and industrious, and we promised to become worthy LOWELLITES. ln a few weeks we were the guests at a reception given by the high seniors. lt was a hearty, cordial welcome and was enjoyed by all. A dance was the concluding event of the day and served the purpose of making everyone better acquainted with his classmates. During the next few months the newness of high school life began to wear off, so more attention was given to activities outside of the schoolroom routine, athletics especially. A good number of our classmates turned out for sports, and some proved very adept in this line. Our sophomore year was not vainly spent. We increased our athletic turnout and were quite active in other school functions. Along with our junior year came the privilege to organize. We assumed our new prerogatives with enthusiasm and zeal. We chose jack Forbes, Mary Smith, and Edgar Pierson from our ranks as president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. Under their guidance we gave our first dance with the high juniors. The affair was a great success. The next term we gave another in conjunction with the low juniors. We elected as our class olficers this year: George McDaniel, president, Virginia De Camp, vice-president, and john Saunders, secretary. ln our low senior year we were guided in our many activities by jack Gough, Ruth Kibbee. and Raymond Batz. By this time our class was frequently referred to as a most dependable class. We entered the fall term of '26 with an ambition to make it a record. To help us do this, we elected Elmer Anfrnson, president, Ruth Kibbee, vice-president, and George McDaniel, secretary. Most of the student body officers were already being held by our classmates. Our Senior Day fell on December second and was a day of continued pleasure and entertainment. As the term drew to a close, we realized with sorrow the separation that was inevitable. It meant the breaking of fond ties, the parting of friends, true and tried. Bearing records of achievements of which we may be proud we pass on leaving to the class of tomorrow this message: I To you-we toss the torch, Be yours to keep it high.

This was made possible only by the accurate budget and strict minimiz- ing by the board of all requested appropriations. The purpose of the board, however, is not merely to regulate the finances, When in session it is an open forum for discussion of all things pertaining to school life. The board appoints the manager of publications and is interested in matters pertaining, to the general welfare of the school. The faculty advisers are Mr. Clark, Miss Lacoste, Mr, Tucker, Mr. Morton. and Mr. Stevens. There are nineteen student representatives. Q5 Omce Force I Arvada, af 1'-4 v'fl'WW HE oflice force, those to whom this appreciation is addressed, has num- bered thirteen. Helen Graham, Helen Graves,Allan Reinhart, Eleanor Masterson, Florence Krenz, Richard Davis, Emma Fuller, Claire Lynch, Sumner Medau, Dorothy Mygrant, Elizabeth Forbes, Homer Harris, and Julian Concannon have cheerfully given their services whenever neces- sary. They have greatly lightened the heavy burden of responsibility that rests upon the Secretary. Everything has been done with admirable punctuality and precision by this energetic group known to Lowell as the office force. ll47l The RED Eff WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 Scroll and L N GENERAL the society has shown itself willing and helpful by trying to keep order and by endeavoring to pro- mote the proper spirit of fair play. lt is not for the Red and Whiteg it is for the student body itself and the faculty to judge the merit, ac- complishments, and spirit, whether helpful or not, JOHN SAUNDERS of each individual member. The members of the Scroll and L Honor So ciety are as follows: H4 John Saunders, Pres. Guido Caglieri George McDaniel, Sec.

The basic purpose of the council is to cultivate student responsibility, to stimulate care of school property, honesty in classes, interest in studies, athletics, and every other branch of high school life. The council is based on the principle that the class representative is a leader, and as a leader is respected and emulated, thus effecting student interest and student activities as a whole, for the better. The council cannot hope to accomplish startling results in a day or a week, but, as months come and go, its influence is gradually felt. l48l DECEMBER, 1926 The RED if? WHITE Shield and L , HE girls' organization known as the Shield and L may be said to have as its motto the word 'AService. Not merely service in the school, but service in its widest sense-service in the home, service to class- mates, service to friends: in short, service every- where. Its object may be briefly summarized by giving the names and purposes of two of its many committees, the friendship committee and the coaching committee. The former is to promote friendship among the girls and to bring the stu- dents in closer contact: also to bring the senior into harmonious relationship with the freshman in I y every way. The latter is in itself symbolic of the Shield and L. It is composed of girls who willingly LUCILLE 'IELINSKI give their spare time to help those who are deficient in their work. The officers of the organization are Lucille Jelinski, president: Dorothy Dineley, vice-president, and Betty Clarke, secretary. Q3 The Girls, Council HE Girls' Council this semester has continued its work of service for the student in particular and the school in general. It has again shown its usefulness in many ways. With purposes similar to those of the Boys' Council-namely, to cultivate better student responsi- bility, to care for school property, to promote interest in athletics, scholarship, and all the varied activities met with in the high school-the Girls' Council car- ried on its work successfully. The council elected as oflicers Lucille Jelinski, president, Dorothy Dineley, vice-president, and Elizabeth Clarke, secretary. It has been proved that this choice was made with wisdom. The success of the council is largely due to the efforts of Miss Lacoste, dean of girls, and Miss Gibson, assistant dean, who have striven to make it eflicient. The outstanding features in the work have been the creation of the day known as Middy Day, the help given various teachers in their clerical work, and the repairing of the cabinets in many rooms. ll49ll The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 , , 'E 979 -1 I 'af ' 7 1 ' Qxgux Dmmatics Society NE of the most interesting and most sought-after organizations in the school is the Dramatics Society. The study of dramatics from every angle is its purpose, and only those who have shown some ability can belong. Arthur Curtis was elected president. He served his term with distinction. Also well chosen were the vice-president, Marion McDaniel, and James Tippitt, publicity manager. The work of the property man Was efficiently handled by Jack Levy. Stephen Garin proved a very able stage manager. His assistants were helpful and efficient. The staging committee was composed of Frances Higgins, Betty Clarke, Arthur Hemberger, James Tippett, Raymond Gauthier, Robert Baker, and William Ball. During the term the club produced several plays for the assemblies. Mr. Polland has worked tirelessly, and has been most helpful to the students of the society. Following the custom of previous years, the club has centered its main interests in the term's play, Going Some. Paul Armstrong and Rex Beach are the authors. 'iGoing Some is a play abound- ing in humorous incidents and exciting moments. lt is an uproarious farce, with its setting laid in Flying Heart Ranch, in New Mexico. lsol DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE - ai Z f V f r.-.u w if 'g'Q1:., X m PL' QE CAST J.

WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 Debating Team OREMOST among the school activities that are of value in after life comes debating: so foremost among the clubs must the debating society be placed. By debates, by a study of parliamentary law, by readings, and by speaking contests this organization has caused an ever-increasing interest among the students. Mr. Lorbeer, the coach,' and the olicers have united in making the programs interesting and varied. The club was very fortunate in choosing Larry Rhine, debater par excellence and executive of no mean ability, as president. Another worthy choice was that of Hannon Freed as vice-president. The other oflicers are Fred Englebrecht, sec- retary-treasurer, and Hamilton Hedge, publicity manager. The S. F. D. L. repre- sentative, Vincent Lafferty, must not be forgotten. He was last term's president, and one of the dependable speakers. Mr. Lorbeer for several years has guided the Lowell debaters through the difliculties and trials that beset the beginner. He has been responsible for Lowell's numerous debating championships, and the club confidently looks to him to lead them to victory in the Spring. This term's debating team was composed of Sarah Alpert, Vincent Lafferty, Loraine Alexander, and Fred Englebrecht, of whom the latter two are newcomers. lvl . DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 VJHITE f . .Qi4fsQi5?2a-- The Staging Committee HROUGH long days of labor and nights devoid of ease, the staging committees have worked to give Going Some a suitable producf tion. Long hours and scant praise have been their fate, but always they have the reward of knowing a task well done. Stephen Garin, the stage manager of several years' experience, acted as direc- tor. His assistants, Robert Baker, VJilliam Ball, and Robert Gauthier, have been competent, worthy apprentices of an able master. Besides serving as a general staging committee, this group also has had charge of the lighting, and has pro- duced some novel effects, one of them being the semblance of a sun-scorched Mexif can desert. Several innovations, such as hooded footlights and side-lighting, have been successfully tried. The property committee, headed by Jack Levy, also deserves praise for its labors. Betty Clarke, Francis Higgins, Arthur Hemberger, and James Tippett were the other members. As formerly, Miss Hermann has supervised the art work, and her pupils designed the settings, which were very appropriate. Although the technical production of Going Some has been the major achievement of these committees, they have also provided the necessary equipment and stage settings for the one-act plays presented during the term by the Dra- matics Club. So, whenever the success of the dramatic society's offerings is con- sidered, tribute should be paid to those who have so faithfully worked behind the scenes. llisl The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 . I Dance Orchestra HROUGH earnest practice and co-operation the dance orchestra has made the many dances, entertainments, and rallies enjoyable to the school. The orchestra, under the leadership of Felix Butte, was for- tunate to have many veterans from last term, but the new members have done very well in so short a time. The orchestra was composed of Felix Butte, William Wehser, Joseph Bishop, Maurice Gold, Sylvan Frank, Jack Dan- ford, and Arthur Graham. This term the orchestra played at the opening rally, the freshman reception, the junior dance, the low senior dance, the high senior dance, the Block UL Rally, and at many other school functions. The dance or- chestra is independent ofthe school orchestra, and the players are always critically judged before becoming members. ll54ll , DECEMBER, 199.6 The RETD E99 WHITE 46 . Jl ARTHUR CURTIS Lois LAVERS The Advanced Glee Clubs HE Boys' Advanced Glee Club, under the competent leadership of Miss Neppert, has completed nine years of activity in Lowell. The club, with the largest membership ever recorded in the history of the organization, sang at many assemblies and had many public appearances. This term's oflicers were Arthur Curtis,president, James Scott,vice-president, and Robert Altfield, secretary. As is the custom of the club, each year a double quartet is picked and coached by Miss Neppert. The members of the quartet are: Lohn Ficklin, Frank Pistolesi, Ogden Fields, first tenors: Herbert Long, George Vasilatos, William Wehser, second tenorsg Robert Altfield, John Cilessner, Na- than Cooper, baritones: Arthur Curtis, Isadore Batasof, Arthur Dodge, bassos. In each part one of three selected acts as substitute. The Ciirls' Advanced Cmlee Club, under Miss Badger, also has a large organi- zation and has made appearances in programs at assemblies. Miss Badger has coached the club with her usual success. The officers for the term were Lois Lavers, president, Elizabeth Sigourney, vice-president, and Myrtle Saxe, secretary. llssl The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 199.6 552-gI B. BROEMMEL E.

The first period was organized by Mr. Barnes, and the Hfth and sixth by Miss Silberstein, and they have been most ably assisted by the manager, Bisell Magee. The members have worked very hard, and the school feels very grateful for their services. A great aid to the students is the school bank. Edward Martin, student repre- sentative, has been a most capable manager. To the bookroom committee should go much credit and recognition. The stamping and storing of all books are settled here. The members, under Hugo Druehl, manager, have done valuable work this term, and to them the school gives a vote of thanks. Miss Trimble is the efficient faculty manager. In the daily routine of any office workers are needed, and so it is at Lowell. The oflice force is an important factor in business management of the school. Miss Sullivan has at her call a group of students who have given up valuable time to do this work, and they deserve credit. The court committee, organized under Lee Pope, has been faithful in keeping the plants and shrubbery in good condition, adding much to the attractions of the school grounds. Occasionally in Lowell's daily life an automobile is needed, in case of emer- gencies, for the aid of the student body. Our taxi committee has answered calls this term under the supervision of Sumner Medau, as chairman, and he has very ably carried on the work. Edward Martin and his assistants have cared for the auditorium during the term. The hall has always been in readiness for the various school functions, Miss Varney and her assistants, aided by Jack Rhine, have cared for the cafe- teria. Their helpers have been faithful in their work. ' The carbook department has been under the direction of Bert Broemmel. He and his assistants have given up a great deal of their time to the service of the school. The Uke Club has entertained many times for assemblies and entertainments. The president this term, Virginia Gray, has been a very earnest worker. Under Marie Carolan, the poster staff has supplied posters of many events in and around school. Several of the members have done fine work this term. The posters have served well in announcing school events and in representing the tal- ent of the art classes. Mr. Sewell has acted as faculty adviser, and has had hearty co-operation from the members of the staff. lS7l T The RED E99 WHITE, DECEMBER, 199.6 August September October November December CALENDAR OF EVENTS l 6-School Opened. , 17 1 18-Locker assemblies and distribution. 25-Upper class elections. 30-Election of room representatives. 3-Opening rally. 10-Student body cards sold.

On October 8 the alumni gave a football benefit dance at the Fairmont Hotel. The affair was pro- nounced a success, both socially and financially. Believing itself to be a largely representative body, the Alumni Association has taken upon itself the duty of co-operating in regard to the new Lowell High School.

WHITE HE Reserve Oflicers' Training Corps of San Francisco consists of live battalions, one in each of the public high schools. The commandant of the R. O. T. C. is Captain John P. Adams, United States Army, retired. Each school battalion is under the com- mand of an instructor. The instructor at Lowell is Captain Henry J. Flexenhar of the Coast Artillery Reserve Corps. The enrollment in this organiza- tion is entirely voluntary, and is limited by the War Department to 265 cadets in each battalion. Lowell has the full quota and also trains 50 fresh- men, who are entitled to all regular instruction. These students cannot be enrolled oflicially. The Lowell battalion consists of Companies E, . F, Ci, and Headquarters, commanded respectively by Cadet Captains Robert McEwen, Henry Scott, Francis Nelson, and Ray- mond Blatz. The band, limited to thirty musicians, is commanded by Cadet Captain Leitner. The official band instructor is Mr. Thomas Kennedy, assisted by Mr. Irving Ci. Alger, who voluntarily gives his services. The cadet major of the battalion is Cadet Major Walter B. Gibbons. The adjutant is Cadet First Lieutenant John Peck. The main purpose of the R. O. T. C. is to train the boys to be good citizens. The course consists fundamentally of close-order drill, from which the cadets learn courtesy, obedience, leadership, responsibility, and teamwork. Every stu- dent, before he has completed his first year's work, is given a thorough course in First Aid. This is conducted under the auspices of the Board of Health. The advanced men are given, as part of their training, a course in military tactics, which includes musketry, scouting and patroling, map reading, sanitation, and military maneuvers. On Friday of each week the battalion is drilled as a unit in the various ways prescribed by the drill regulations. The principal activities of the R. O. T. C. are: in the spring term, the annual competition and exhibition drill at the Civic Center, the annual inspection for the honor school, and the Hurst trophy rifle team competition: in the fall term, the Fort Baker rifle team and the regimental battalion competition. This last activity was organized for the first time this year. Credit for successful work is due to the energies of the cadet majors of the five battalions and to the co-opera- tion ofthe instructors and Captain Adams. On Memorial Day the regiment takes part in the ceremonies conducted in the Presidio of San Francisco. CAPTAIN FLEXENHAR The members of the Reserve Oilicers' Training Corps appreciate sincerely the aid and co-operation shown by all those connected with the battalion. The cadet oliicers of the graduating class feel especially indebted to Captain John P. Adams, commandant, for his inspiring leadership and faith in them. l63l The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 1626 FRANCIS NELSON HENRY SCOTT RAYMOND BATZ JOHN GILMAN WALTER GIBBONS LIONEL SCHMITT SYLVAIN SCHNAITTACHER JOHN PECK VINCENT LAFFERTY EDWARD LEITNER THOMAS SCI-IULTE ALAN SIMON H6411 DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE THE R.

At the numerous football games the rooters have urged their team on and shouted encouragement when our players fell behind. When the games were not in Lowell's favor and when the players were slackened by the opposing side, then it was that a strong and encouraging Lowell yell would surge through the air and bring confidence to our sturdy gridders true. ' ' It does not take much courage to get up and cheer when the team puts over a touchdown, but when the hopes of the team are low, when our opponents are leading, then is the time to add inspiration to the morale of our fighting Cardi- nals. And such has it been. When we were behind, the yell leaders showed the way, and the student body cheered and felt happy that they could hearten the men and bring forth the true Lowell spirit. Dick Curtis has indeed aided us in upholding our motto: A Fighting Student Body Behind a Fighting Team. l68l 1 DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE GRADUATHKSATHLETES Y. Abiko E. Anfinson R. Batz G.

HIS year two new athletic leagues came into existence in the bay region. In both, Lowell entered teams and intends to lqeep on doing so in years to come. The first of these is the Academic Athletic Associa- tion. This league was formed to replace the old San Francisco Athletic League, which had been the ruling body for the last thirty years. Before school opened this term it was rumored that the San Francisco Athletic League was to be replaced by another body which gave the faculty the controlling hand and restricted student managership. During the last week of vacation, formal an- nouncement was made in the papers of the formation of the A. A. A, The idea of depriving the student body of their voice in the matter of manag- ing sports was decidedly unpopular. The daily newspapers were also against it. but their objection was of a different nature. They pointed out that the S. F. A.L. had drawn up a football schedule which was the best possible. All the major games were scheduled in the manner of the Pacific Coast Conference. The press was afraid that this masterpiece, as they called it, would be destroyed. By this arrangement Lowell was to play Galileo, Cogswell, Lick-Wilmerding, St. Igna- tius, Polytechnic, Potter, and Commerce. This was a very popular schedule, and everybody seemed pleased with it. The Lowell board of directors held many meetings in which the question was debated pro and con. Finally a meeting was held in which the five private and five public schools convened. The private schools here brought up a new objection-the public schools had the governing of the league in their power. Many heated arguments took place, but fmally all the schools except Lowell and St. Ignatius voted to do away with the S. F. A. L. and substitute the A. A. A. in its place. Lowell-and St. Ignatius were later admitted to membership in the new league. The first work of the new body was to adopt the old S. F. A. L. football schedule and thereby eliminate the criticism directed against it. The second league is the Bay Counties Junior Football League, embracing 130-pound football squads from Lowell, Commerce, Mission, Polytechnic, Tamalpais, and Berkeley high schools. This league has been a decided success, as it has allowed the boys who were too light for the unlimited team to engage in football. This has filled the essential need as material for the big team. l7Oll DECEMBER, 199.6 The RED E99 WHITE , H, GUTEDN SANDERSON CCaptainj Guard Unlimited Football T THE present time, Lowell, Galileo, and Lick-Wilmerding are in a triple tie for the championship. It has not yet been decided what will be done about it, but a playoff is probable. We opened the season against Galileo, who won, 3 to 0. Lowell was outweighed by the Purple and Gold, but managed to give a good account of herself. It seems reasonable that with the reversal of form demonstrated by the team in later games the Cardinals will defeat the Galileo team in the play-off. The first half was even. Neither team showed much of an offense, and both teams showed a great defense. Only on one occasion did either team penetrate to the shadows of the goal posts. On this occasion Galileo was repelled at the last moment and the teams entered the second half with a 0-0 tie. The lone score came in the fourth quarter. Galileo carried the ball to Lowell's 12-yard line. Here the Red Shirts held for three downs, but on the fourth, Abi Bromberg kicked the ball between the uprights, and the deed was done. ,With about seven minutes to play, Lowell unleashed a powerful aerial attack. Shell Potter passed to Davey Hewes, who was downed on the 20-yard line. The strong Galileo line held for three downs. On the fourth, Johnny Saun- ders tried to emulate Bromberg, but his dropkick was blocked. llvrl I -4.2 The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 Lowell fought to the very end, Hlling the air with passes, but to no avail. Lowell simply couldn't put over the big one which would mean victory. Al Churton, Ham Hedge, Ted Sanderson, and Potter showed good early-season form. Bill Welch was a marked man and couldn't make any long runs. Not many, after viewing the game, would concede Lowell much chance for the championship. Lowell defeated Cogswell in the next game, 27 to 0. In the first half the Green and Black seemed to be very anxious. Guid Caglieri ran the kickoff back to a touchdown. He tore right through the entire team, not dodging, but plowing. Captain Sanderson converted. The next kickoff also went to Caglieri, who ran it back to midfield. 'lGuid then passed to Hewes for 15 yards. Bucks by 'iGil Dowd and Lee Valianos placed the ball on the 5-yard line, whence Caglieri bucked it over. Cogswell started to ight and, by passes, managed to work the ball to the 25-yard line. Here Sanderson intercepted a pass and ran it back to a touchdown. Ted also converted. In the third quarter, a pass for 15 yards, Saunders to Caglieri, netted the last score of the game. Dowd, a newcomer, played a very good game, as did Churton and Harry Gray. But still Lowell did not look like a championship contender. Against Lick the team showed everything. Lick had beaten Galileo 27 to 0, so we were slated to lose by 30 points. But the dopesters reckoned without the Lowell fight. The team fought harder than it ever did before, and as a result won, 6 to 0. The game witnessed a complete rejuvenation of Welch and the rest of the team. Lick's line was reputed impregnable, but the Lowell backs did not find it so. The Lick backs were considered unstoppable, but Sanderson and his cohorts in the line did not find it so. They refused to believe the rumor, and as a result were able to stop the Lick offensive drive. The Hrst half of the game was even, but the ferociousness of the Cardinal team boded no good for the Lick Tiger. Time after time, the Lowell team broke up plays and made gains due to ferociousness alone. For once a small bird was a more determined fighter than a jungle tiger, In the fourth quarter Whitey Lausten, the Lick star, broke away for a long run and seemed destined to score. He broke away from the whole team, but Tom Schulte came up fast and threw him from behind, on the 20-yard line. Here the Red held, and Potter punted to safety. With one minute to play, Lausten fumbled in midfield, and Hewes scooped up the ball and ran to a touchdown. He was accompanied on his run by two other Lowell men, indistinguishable in the twilight which ,enveloped Ewing Field, demonstrating the remarkable teamwork shown by the team. Sanderson failed to convert. lI72ll .. e..4a.4...1.- DECEMBER, 1926 The RED Ei WHITE After the game Lowell serpentined around the field with Hewes on the shoulders of the leaders. Every man on the team played a wonderful game. The rooters were thrilled for days afterwards. It was a wonderful game. Again, against St. Ignatius, the Cardinal showed great potentiality. Welch kicked off and Casey was nailed in his tracks. Casey failed to gain around right end, and on the next play he fumbled. Potter pounced on the ball and made his first touchdown of his career. Sanderson converted. A few minutes later Welch ran 87 yards to a score, and Sanderson converted. In the second half, the second-string men got a chance to show their wares. Nat Magid, Spence Sparks, and Bud Jennings all played good. Jennings made two fumbles, but showed much promise as a ball carrier. He is shifty, like Van Horn. Moco Woodworth and Sanderson stood out in the line, while Potter, Churton, Welch, and Valianos looked good in the backfield. We also beat Commerce, 14 to 0. The game was very uninteresting. The second team was given its chance to play again. Tuttich and Stewart starred for Commerce. PRELIMINARY SEASON The first preliminary game was against McC1ymonds, whom we beat, 6 to 0. Next we defeated Fremont, 7 to 0. Against Oakland Tech our second-string team was able to hold the transbay team to a 0-0 tie. Strange to say, we looked the best in defeat. Vallejo beat us 6 to 0, but it was only after a terrific struggle. A series of short passes and bucks in the fourth quarter gave Vallejo the lone score of the game. In the opening quarter Lowell had the ball on the 5-yard line, but a bad pass from center ruined our chances. Santa Cruz was beaten, 14 to 0, in the last preliminary game. The squad consisted of Captain Edward Sanderson, 1 : Bernard Dunn, 2: Leon Valianos, 3: Maurice Rouble, 4: John Saunders, 5: Nathan Magid, 6: Richard'Gordon, 7: William Schulte, 8: Louis Maguire, 9: Hamilton Hedge, 10: Maurice McColley, 11: Wardell Jennings, 12: William Connolly, 13: William Gilmore Dowd, 14: Peter Kerhulas, 16: Hilary Martin, 17: Thomas Schulte, 18: Sheldon Potter, 19: Ira Woodworth, 20: Alan Churton, 21: Dalton Bishop, 22: Henry Von Morpurgo, 23: Harry Curay, 24: William Sullivan, 25: Spencer Sparks, 26: Guido Caglieri, 27: John Ravella, 29: William Welch, 35: David Hewes, 44. 17511 The RED .ESD WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 The PGLYTECHNIC GAME On a muddy field, the Lowell Cardinals emerged victorious over the Black and Red from Polytechnic. Polytechnic was a greatly overrated team and did not furnish Lowell with the expected opposition. Welch, Potter, and the other Cardinal battering rams gained at will and ran up a 16-to-O score. The individual star of the game was Captain Sanderson. He opened up large holes in the line, converted a touchdown, and kicked a field goal from the 30-yard line. Welch scintillated with plunges, and Potter, Hewes, Hedge, and Gray also played well. Caglieri took the opening kickoff and returned it to the 35-yard line. Hedge gained another 35 yards on an end-around-end play. After an exchange of punts, Lowell was held for three downs on the 30-yardf marker. Here Sanderson place- kicked a Held goal. Then Lowell opened up a big offensive drive and carried the ball to the lO-yard line as the quarter ended. On the second play of the second quarter, Potter plunged over for another score. The final tally also came in this period. Lowell took the ball on the 42-yard line. Valianos carried the ball through the line for 9 yards. Then Churton made four more on a pass. Hedge then received a pass and ran 55 yards to a touchdown, and Sanderson converted. Polytechnic had various opportunities to score, but inability to hold passes cost them the game. In the second quarter, a halfback sneaked over to sidelines and a pass was thrown to him. If he had caught it he would have had a clear Held to a touchdown, but he fumbled. Another time, if a Polytechnic halfback had caught a pass he would have made a long gain, but he, too, fumbled. On the other hand, Lowell played a fast game and, despite the weight ad- vantage on the Polytechnic side, Lowell made most of her gains through the line. The light Lowell backs tore through the Polytechnic line for huge gains, and the line outcharged its opponents throughout the contest. Lowell made fourteen first downs to her opponent's four. The rooters' stunts and the two bands were added features which contributed to the entertainment. The rain, which fell intermittently, failed to dampen the ardor of the onlookers. Megaphones were distributed to the rooters prior to the game and these magnified the sound emitted by the spectators. All the Lowell rooters joined in an enthusiastic serpentine at the end of the game. To Mike Voyne must be given much credit for the fighting spirit he instilled into the team. In the Polytechnic game Coach Voyne gave his second-string men a chance to play, thereby giving them much needed experience for the play-off and for next season. ll74ll DECEMBER, 1926 The RED 6?

Our op- ponents were Tamalpais and San Rafael, Mission, Commerce, and Polytechnic. Practice began with a large turnout of aspirants, but Coach Kitchen cut down the number to twenty-seven. After playing several practice games, the Lowell team opened its schedule with a 7-to-6 defeat of Mission. The following week we were defeated by Commerce, 16 to 6. On October 28, in what is known as the 'Little Big Game of the A. A. A., the valiantly fighting Red and White Went down to a 14-to-7 defeat before the grimly determined Red and Black of Polytechnic. The lineup was as follows: Essner, left end, Hanlon, left tackle, Flint, left guard: New- begin, centerg Pritchett, right guard, Fields, right tackle: Cireen, right enclg Bren- nan, quarterbackg Quinn, right halfback: Cruze, left halfback, and Davis, full- back. The purpose of this football team is to find and train potential players for the next year's unlimited football team. ll3Oll IjhCEMBER, T926 T The RETDTQ r e my ew. it ,. , l l y l I 30 f Pound Soccer HE 130-pound soccer team, never well supported, and this term poorly supported, began its practice with but few veterans and a very small turnout. Coach Hill, in the few short weeks before the Academic Athletic Association schedule opened, through patient ef- fort managed to lay the foundation for next year's team. It was, of course, im- possible to create a championship machine with units that had not had time to be co-ordinated. After several informal practice games, Lowell opened her schedule by playing Polytechnic. After playing on even terms for the Hrst half, the Red and White weakened, and Polytechnic won, 'S to O. However, later, Polytechnic was com- pelled to forfeit the game through the ineligibility of one of the players. The next game, against the reputedly strong Commerce team, resulted in a 3-to-3 tie, with Lowell leading until the last part of the second half by 3 points. Galileo defeated Lowell 1 to O in a very close game. The next encounter, which was with Mission, already champions, was lost, Z to O. For the first half the Red and White held Mission scoreless, and only went down fighting in the second half. The best players on the team, perhaps, were Captain Weaver, left fullback, and William Ball, right fullback, who starred in defense, while Keyes, outside right, and Fisher, outside left, were the best offensive players. ll31l The RED Q w1i1TE TEQQQQMQQ 1926 I1OfPotmd Soccer HE l 10-pound soccer team has concluded its season with one tie and three defeats. Under Coach Hill, the team practiced daily, but as there was not a single veteran, it was difficult to pick up the ine points of the game, and to get in good form before the Galileo game. In the first encounter Polytechnic easily defeated Lowell by a 6-to-O score, Although the team fought hard, it was no match for the fast Poly team. The second game also resulted in a bad defeat, as Lowell lost to Commerce High School by a score of 4 to O. The Blue and White was too strong for Lowell. In the third game, however, the team found itself, and in the most exciting game of the season lost to Galileo, 5 to 4. The game was close, and in the last half Lowell completely outplayed Galileo, Lowell tied the last game, played with Mission, l to l. The outstanding players were Captain A'lZzy Morris, Ginsberg, and Haverdy. ll82ll DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE I eff'- I2ofPo1.md Basketball HE 120-pound basketball team, with three veterans and a host of promising material reporting for the initial practice, enabled Coach Benjamin Neff to formulate a team that appeared as the strongest of the three lightweight teams. ' The twenties began their pre-season games with a decisive victory over St. Ignatius, and repeated their accomplishment with successive victories over Fre- mont and Oakland Tech. In their final practice game, however, the twenties suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Commerce, 35 to 21. With the opening of the A. A. A. tournament came the Htwenties' second defeat, this time at the hands of the strong Sacred Heart quintet, by the close score of 21 to 18. The Red and White squad put up a gallant fight throughout the contest and had their fast offensive attack been functioning as in preceding games it might have been a different story. Captain Henry Barbe was an able and deserving leader. He was a fast for- ward with an eagle eye for the hoop. Bob Hay was his running mate in the for- ward combination. Jack Collins was the center, and the guards were Cameron and Campbell. ll35ll The RED E99 WHITE -D D VZDECEMBISYILVAQ IQQD Zaaw. ,, , uoflb. Basketball HE llO-pound basketball team this year has been an exceptionally successful organization. Mr. Ben Neff, the coach, has given the team much help. Captain Edmund Dunning has been a most able assistant. The team has shown its sterling makeup in several fast practice games against Oakland High School, Oakland Technical High School, and Fremont High School, in which games Lowell easily came out victorious. Success is due to the excellent defense system which Coach Harlan Dykes found so effective in the games of the unlimited team in previous years. Praise is also due the players for their excellent teamwork. In the first Academic Athletic Association game Lowell decisively defeated the strong Sacred Heart team by a 40-to-30 score, while in the second game Lick- Wilmerding was defeated, unable to resist the swift attack and intricate crisscross system used by Lowell. In all of the matches the men showed their enthusiasm and good sports- manship. ll34l DECEMBER, 1926 The RED Ee? WHITE ' 1 p . 3, agp I oo f Pound Basketball ITH no veterans to start the season, Coach Neff and his able assistants. Phil Michelson and Red Francisco. were faced with the difficult task of developing inexperienced material into a representative basket- ball team. With the inexperience of the team came the task of teach- ing a new system of play that required long and strenuous practice. Although the conscientious and steady training in the fundamentals of bas- ketball did not produce a team of championship caliber, it did produce a fighting and determined aggregation that will no doubt give a good account of itself in the A. A. A. tournament. In their pre-season games the centuries were able to register but one victory. Nevertheless, the team was able to give a creditable account of itself in all the games. Bolten and Klein were a fast pair of shifty forwards. They were selected because of their ability to cage the ball. Wright was the tip-off man. He is a fast. steady player who contributed a large share to the success of the team. Levin and Shindler scintillated with defensive playing. They contributed to keeping Lowell's opponents' score tally low. l3Sl The RED E99 WHITE T DECEMBER, 1926 Fall Athletics ITH the beginning of the fall term every year at every high school the first faint whispers of fall athletics begin, growing in volume, herald- ing the approach of them all but chiefly the coming of Football, who returns again to take his throne for his all too short reign of but a few months. Football, which comes first in the minds and hearts of all, will be first dis- cussed, thus giving it the important place that it deserves. Beginning the season with the usual preliminary practice, the team did its first really creditable work in its game against Lick-Wilmerding. Here the boys showed that spirit that has taken them through the entire season, that has enabled them to meet defeat as well as victory. A few words in appreciation of the 130-pound football team will not be amiss. It has struggled, for the most part unsuccessfully, against teams which have shown themselves superiors, but it sought not glory, but the experience needed by the men. Although poorly supported, the 130-pound soccer team fought well. The three basketball teams are the 100-, the ll0- and the 120-pounders. The 110-pound team has been exceptionally strong, playing with equal skill an offensive as well as defensive game. All three teams have applied themselves with diligence to play on all occasions the best possible game. The two crews, unlimited, and 130-pound, have been greatly handicapped by lack of veterans and experienceg each took third place in the Pacific Coast Yachting Association's championship regatta. It has been, however, very good training for next year's crew. The 110-pound soccer team, with no veterans, and but little experience, could not hope to cope successfully with its opponents, and went down to defeat in all but one, the last, of its games. Taking all into consideration, Lowell High School has had a group of teams of which she may well be proud, for they have upheld the traditions of Lowell. ll36ll DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE Intramural Sports S IN past years, intramural sports have played an important part in the life of the students of Lowell High School. The Physical Educa- tion Department has conducted tournaments in football, basketball, and baseball. The juniors won the football title by defeating the sophomores, freshmen. and R. O. T, C. squads. Our unlimited ends, Hedge and Hewes, instilled foot- ball knowledge into the winners, and their teaching bore fruit. The sophomores, by defeating the freshmen and R. O. T. C. teams, took second place in the stand- ing, Caglieri and Saunders spent their spare afternoons coaching the team. Ciar- guanella and Woodworth were the freshmen coaches, while Bill Welch led the army gridders. Ted Sanderson and Coach Voyne oliiciated at all the games. lVlaurie McColley, HAI Churton, i'Bill Dowd, Red Dunn, A'Hen Von Morpurgo, Nat Magid, lVlaurie Rouble, Dick Gordon, Bud Jennings, Spence Sparks, Lou Landfield, Bill Schulte, and Johnny Ravella, who made the school team, were members in this league. .lack Gough and Bill Hesthal were important members of the successful second-period gymnasium basketball team. The score by which they beat the third period was 30 to 20. The X period gym class was victor in the 130- pound class. Howard Quinn, Kenneth McGrew, Sumner Medau, and Herb Rich- ter were the stars of the champion team. Mr. Walsh's indoor baseball tournament has continued as in past years. This tournament has given every boy in the school a chance to compete, and many promising baseball players have made their appearance in these games. This is an innovation in the school, and consequently Lowellites have a big advantage over all the other schools. The intramural system was first introduced at Lowell by Harlan Dykes, now an athletic coach at Santa Clara University. Mr. Dykes was a member of our staff until last year, and head of the Physical Education Department. First came his interclass track meets, and from them the system of intramural sports has grown up. Mr. Ben Neff has had charge of the tournaments this year and has proven himself a competent director, His basketball tournament has been a suc- cess, and a number of students have lined the field every fifth and sixth period to watch the various gymnasium classes and R. O. T. C. vie on the court. Mr. Neff has been assisted in his work by Mike Voyne, Claude Kitchen, and Eugene Hill. l87l The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBERi 1926 SPORTOLOGUE August 28-Unlimited and 130-pound crew place third in Pacific Coast Cham- pionship Regatta for High Schools.

WQU The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 BERNICE BAXTER GLADYS Moone Lois LAVERS Assistant Leader Assistant Girls' 'Yell Leaders HE girls of Lowell High School have proved that they have much school spirit. They have responded with all the necessary enthusiasm at the various assemblies, rallies, and games. Gladys Moore was yell leader and was assisted by Bernice Baxter and Lois Layers. This energetic trio has inspired the rooting section to respond heartily to their efficient leadership. The girls of the school have all felt that victories won have been due to the encouragement received from the girl rooters. The Girls' Athletic Manager An energetic participant in sports, a Willing helper, and a capable manager of girls' athletics has been found in Lucille Hansen. For the third successive term the girls have chosen one to be their leader in sports and for the third time they have succeeded in choosing one who could set a good example to coming man- agers, Through her untiring efforts there has been a closer understanding be- tween the girl athletes, the council of sport managers, and the Physical Education Department, one of the most necessary factors in the undertaking of any office has been brought about, so girls' athletics have been of special interest this term. ll9Ol DECEMBER, 199.6 The RED Ee? WHITE Girls' Athletic Managers T THE beginning of the term a meeting of the girls participating in sports was held at which the managers were chosen. This term the officers selected have been especially Well suited to their positions and have been responsible for a great deal of the success of girls' athletics. Many students do not realize the responsibility and importance of managing a sport. The tasks of one who is in charge of a team are many and trying. Her first duty is to spread enthusiasm and obtain the needed support, then she must plan schedules, arrange games, and secure extra practice. Those who have dis- charged these duties so Well this term are Jean Oliver, Betty Cullen, Roberta Keily, Dorothy Robinson, Carol Levene, and Dot Williamson, managing crew, swimming, basketball, tennis, golf, and rifle practice, respectively. Our instructors, Miss Flynn, Miss Elder, and Miss Lane, have aided the managers -in their Work of coaching the teams. l91ll A-We The BBBD Es? if BBB DECEMBER, 1926 1 Swimming WIMMING as a girls' activity is steadily reaching the highest plane among the sports offered. Our girl swimmers have maintained again this term their previous excellent record. The place of swimming has been changed from Sutro Baths to the Crystal Palace Baths, and this has proved to be thoroughly satisfactory. An aquatic day was held to take the place of the customary meet. This was very interesting and exciting, both for the participants and onlookers. Among the stars taking part in the program were Louise Schweiffler, Doris Grunauer, Doris Robinson, and Marie Carolan. Great thanks for the success of the team are due Betty Cullen, manager, and Miss Lane, instructor, who together have worked long and faithfully that swim- ming may continue to be popular. lQ2l I N.

All girls enrolled in the school are eligible to participate in this sport. In spite of the fact that crew practice has been increased to twice a week, the girls are undaunted and are turning out with liner spirit than before. Every Monday and Wednesday, immediately after school, the girls report to Yacht Harbor. Miss Lane, one of our physical education instructors, accompanies the girls. They have proved themselves to be most responsive to the capable coaching of the Lowell Sea Scouts, who act as their oflicial trainers. level wg W' 5 l W2 The RED Ei' WHITE T DECEMBER, 1926 y i cf? n,,.f0flM , Basketball ETAINING its consistent popularity among the girls, basketball has played an important part in athletics. Interest manifested itself in the large numbers reporting for practice, which was held every Tuesday and Wednesday. On all occasions many eager aspirants turned out. The lower classmen were in the majority and especially enthusiastic. The juniors and the seniors made up for their lack of numbers by faithful and zealous work. The basketball manager assumes a great responsibility in the managing and arranging of the class games. Roberta Keily, assisted by Ruth Bellis, did her part well and contributed much to the successful term. Miss Flynn and Miss Elder were the faculty supervisors. Veterans deserving special mention were Thelma Groezingeo, Audrey Moore, Lillian Cuneen, Edith McCrary, Gladys Gausen, Louise Hallinger, and Leah Boehm. ll94l jff DECEMBER, 1926 The RED E99 WHITE W Tennis ENNIS has never attracted as large a number of girls as the other sports. The freshman and sophomore representation has been very good, but the junior and senior turnout has been such a small num- ber that it was necessary to combine the two teams into one. Early in the term Doris Robinson, an excellent player, was elected manager and she has nlled the ofHce capably and has stimulated interest in the game. Miss Elder has greatly aided Miss Robinson in coaching the girls and in the final selection of the team. The new system of reporting the number of practice hours has proved very satisfactory, as it has assisted the manager in deciding which girls were most worthy of making the team. Among those who have proved faithful to tennis. and have played Well, are Bess Crittenden, Madeline Katz, Eleanor Benkie. Marion Glidden, and Evelyn Melville. losl The RED E99 WHITE DEYCEMBER, 1926 f fl 4.451 l aff T7 . -pm Fl'A,.,fil1H o'v T '- rr ' 0 1,.,uv ,,5fa,' K r Hllmvfnl TEIINUQ' L rlilli vt X Ulu! Golf HE Girls' Golf Club of Lowell bears a distinction of being the only organization of its kind in San Francisco high schools. The member- ship had reached fifty by the middle of the term and the interest did not flag from then on. Although golf for girls originally began under the auspices of the Physical Education Department, it has functioned inde- pendently this term. A bulletin board for notices concerning golf solely was set up in the girls' gymnasium. During the term lessons and equipment for newcomers were offered at reduced rates by the Jigger Golf Shops. The main event of the term was the elimination tournament. The girls were classified into flights, and matches were conducted under 4'local rules at Lincoln Park. The championship flight consisted of Virginia de Camp, Marie Carolan, Jean Stoll, Esther Scott, Nina Wallace, and Carol Fillmore. Faculty sponsorship was in the capable hands of Miss Tyrell. The president of the club was Carol Levene. l96l ,L IjtsToEMBER, t926 The RED Es? WHITE ll., , Though old the thought and oft cxprest, 'T is his at last who says it best. -JAMEs Russnu- LowE1.1,.

IQSI DECEMBER, 1926 The RED Eff WHITE The MilkfWhite Shield In the murky shadow of the night three grey-clad figures slipped quietly through the door of a dugout. Inside two flickering candles, standing on a rickety table, offered a sole illumination. In front of this makeshift desk the three men came to a halt, saluted, and stood silently at attention. On the other side a great figure, impressive in his Teutonic militarism, returned the salute and began speak- ing in German. You have heard the Emperor's orders? Hll three nodded. Villier, the man of the milk-white shield, must die. Again the three nodded. lt will require the life of a German pilot to bring this Frenchman to the ground. The three men leaned forward. 'iThe man who so gives his life will be the most honored of the nation's heroes. The tenseness of the moment was reflected in their faces. That man will be one of you. Their pale faces grew paler still as the fatal words were pronounced. Which one of you will go? The three looked at one another from the corners of their eyes. They were young ollicers of the Imperial Air Service and on the breast of one-the youngest -there lay the decoration of the brave in the Imperial Service. All three hesitated. Then the man of the cross stepped forward. You will go? came the question of the Teuton. 'AI will go, came the firm reply. To the death? To the death. For the Fatherland? 'iFor the Fatherlandf' vp PF :sf va Pk Early dawn. Far toward the south a great moon was setting, while in the east there showed the f1rst signs of the coming day. Barely perceptible, a lone Fok- ker rose from the great flying field and sped westward, disappearing in the greyness of the dawn. Three men had watched the departure. One a great figure of Teu- tonic militarism, the other two silent youths. They listened until the hum of the plane mingled with the dull rumble of the guns beyond. Then, brokenly, they turned from the field. They had watched a comrade going to the death. Par in the sky the young pilot scoured the heavens for the great French ace: the conqueror of 105 German planes was doomed. No more would the sky- wonders of the Empire go spinning in the flames to their death before his smoking guns, for by the Emperor's orders he must die. This young German, the spirit of llQ9l The RED Es? WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 the Fatherland, would lock wings with the great pilot and both, helplessly en- tangled, would crash to the earth below. One more would be added to Villier's long list, but his name would no longer be a terror to the men from beyond the Rhine. Nerves tense, the sky was searched for a tiny biplane whose wings bore the emblem of the milk-white shield to mark its pilot-Villier. He would see that shield close-closer than any German ever had. His route lay south, just over the lines-Villier's country. Patrols and 'scouts offered battle, but he Hed before them, his light Fokker outdistancing them all. He was looking for a man. Suddenly, far to the south, he saw a flash of white. It might be he. He sped his engine up. It was. There was no mistaking the white shield on the wings. There would be no turning tail to this fight. Villier had seen him, too, and both now approached to the combat struggling for altitude. The Fokker gained the upper level, but Villier was not to be caught. He half rolled as the German, unable to check his speed, dived past. The Frenchman swore. The man is crazy, he muttered, trying to kill us both. Again they rose, firing, spasmodically, on the turns, but the Fokker could not outclimb the brilliant Frenchman this time. The German realized that he must close with the white shield before the Frenchman's bullet found its mark, as no man might ever maneuver with Villier and live. He pulled his control over and raced forward toward the enemy. Fight- ing now on his nerve, he dived straight on. Bullets whistled past him. One struck his petrol tank. The plane burst into Hames. He was doomed, but deter- mined that Villier would go down with him, Something numbed his left arm- that was nothing. His gun pointed directly at the foe. The face of the Frenchman was not lifty feet away. And the White shield, the milk-White shield of Villier was there, close. He read the inscription: Death to him who chances this way. X wk ak wk sk The doors of the great airdromes of the Imperial Flying Field were closed for the night. Three men stood staring into the west, where the sun was now disap- pearing and where twelve hours before a tiny Fokker had vanished down into the gloom. From high overhead there suddenly floated down to them the hum of a plane. Instinctively they looked up-not without a touch of fear, for no German plane flew that night. In the twilight something fell on the field. It was a bundle, but no one thought of danger. Opening it with trembling hands, the great Teuton took something out. He held it up for them all to view. It was a dark iron cross falling from a pair of cold grey Wings, the decoration of the brave in the Imperial Air Service. They looked up again, and off toward the west a tiny biplane was racing for the lines. The slanting rays of the sun, which had for- saken the field, lit up its under wings, and their straining eyes made out a milk- white shield. -ROBERT MCEWEN C3195 . llrooll DECEMBER, 1926 The ITED Es?

Burst open your petals and bask in the sunshine: gaze into the depths of the blue skies: hear the chirp of the joyous birds, and let the tender and gentle breezes bathe you in delicious dew.

I saw sorrow and anxiety in her lovely face, for she murmured, If only the sunshine, the blueness of the skies, the music of the birds, and the sweetness of the air could be taken to my little sick Billy boy! And she wiped a tear from her eyes. Then and there I realized that I had a mission in the world: the voice had waked in me a desire to carry all that great outdoors to that sick little boy. I bent my head toward the lovely lady and prayed that I would not be left on the bush without fulfilling my mission. The prayer was answered, for I soon found myself in a vase sitting on a small table at the head of a bed. A little pale face with great brown eyes lay staring at me. The mother affectionately smoothed back her child's curls and said, Dear, this big red rose will tell you all about the beautiful world outside. After she had left the room the boy began to smile and at last whispered, Ah, when I look at you I can see the sunshine and the blue skies with iluffy white clouds. How good they look! Then after a while his face became more flushed and he spoke, I can hear the lark sing to me and smell the sweetness of the dew. When the mother again entered the room her wee one was in a peaceful slumber, dreaming about the great outdoors. This morning the little patient was taken home from the cheerless hospital. The mother picked me up and placed me to her lips and murmured a prayer: Dear God, I thank You for placing this beautiful rose in my garden: it has made my wee Billy boy well again. May he, when he is old and gray, look back over his life, as this faded rose does now, and know that he has accomplished his mission, the mission of spreading sunshine and happiness in the world. -FRANCIS JACK NELSON 0195. ll 101 H The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBEIT, 1926 SHADOWS Where'er I go, it always seems That I see shadows-shadow dreams. They float before me as I walk: They seem alive, yet never talk. They're with me almost ev'ry night, But always in the candle light. To them my secrets I confide, In them my hopes and loves abide. They flit about from dark till dawn, They bide with me and then they're gone. And so, where'er I go, it seems That I see shadows-shadow dreams. -ENA WILDY 63195. if FREEDOM fSpoken by a Slave to His Companionsj If we are men, let us be men: we are not cowards-let us be ashamed that we have fallen to such low estate! If we possess in our hearts that abominable trait, cowardice, let us bury our heads in the dust, even as the gawky bird on foreign shores hides its head, forgetting to shield its body from its enemy. But if we possess the eternal spark of freedom, and feel the cankering wounds of servi- tude eating into our vitals: if we feel within our breasts a mighty anger surging, as the tides on northern shores, then let us raise the war cry loud and break the bonds of slavery. We are men every inch as much as our false masters, Our blood is as thick and red as theirs: our muscles bulge be-neath these chains. We have thrived upon the bitter draught: our anger waxes hot beneath our sullen brows. How sweet revenge upon our haughty lords who bathe their feet in scented water while ours are bleeding from the jagged rocks that beset our weary way! Even now they sit within their splendid halls, anointed with fragrant oils, while we lie stark and faint with toil, the reeking sweat our guerdon for the day's ne'er ceasing labor. Are we men or beasts that they should treat us so? If we are beasts, let us toil on forever, If we are men, let us arise and seize whate'er lies near us for a sword, and let their false blood flow upon the very marble of their halls. -GEORGE ROBERTS 42165. If 102 H DECEMBER, 199.6 The RED E99 WHITE A DAT ON THE REEFS To me, one of the most fascinating places in the world is the reefs at Moss Beach. I go down there regularly on my holidays and week-ends and spend all my time exploring the tide-pools, which are abundant. I can hardly do justice to the many delightful adventures I have had there, but I will try to tell what I usually see when I go out on the reefs. I start out quite gayly bare-legged, but shod in old tennis shoes to avoid cut- 4ing rn-y feet onetheerocks. Eaclrtime-I-go-Lmakeaaffirm resolve ' anything in the line of shells, seaweed, rocks, and soforth, having already too many of these attractions at home. But alas for my good intentions. In too short a period of time I find myself overloaded with assorted sea treasures that I find I cannot get along without. Finally I come to a patch of the kind of seaweed that is my especial delight. It is made up of brown leaves at the ends of which are small bulbs. Press them, and they squirt water. I amuse myself for a time squirting water at my small sister, who, naturally enough, squirts water at me. Having entertained myself with this innocent pleasure, I press on, Presently I reach quite a deep pool and sit down on its brink to dabble my toes in the water. It is not possible for the inexperienced to realize how delightful water percolating through tennis shoes can be. As I paddle I watch the marine life in the pool with ever fresh interest. There are sea-anemones, dull brown, with waving fringes of pale blue and green. The sea-anemones live together in banks, and one would hardly recognize them when, left bare in the receding tide, they draw in their tentacles. In the largest pools I find sea-anemones over six inches in diameter. These, though beautiful, are horrible to touch, for the blue-green fringe sucks one's finger in, unpleasantly, reminding one of the octopus. My favorite sea animal is the hermit crab. These little creatures inhabit the empty shells left by sea snails. They harmonize with their shell-black crabs in black and white shells, green crabs in brown and blue. These lively little' creatures crawl all over the sandy bottom and are often mistaken for sea snails. I also make noble plans to reach the very edge of the reefs. Unfortunately, I am led astray by a peculiarly bewitching pool, and find, some hours later, that I have spent all day there. When I finally decide to tear myself away and moveon, I find the sun sinking into the sea and the skies around me crimson. Evening! With a start I pull myself together and begin my homeward journey over the dark reefs, walking slowly, and turning back often to see the sunset. And so I spend my days on the reefs, lazily, with nothing accomplished and with nothing acquired except a pocket full of shells. -MARGARET LYDERS C228j. lwsl The RED E99 WHITE DECEMBER, 1926 'T HE OLD HOUSE The old house had a ghostly appearance when one passed it at night. In the day it was interesting enough--an old, battered, dusty mansion, several feet back from the street. The shingles were worn and the broken windows were boarded up. Before the house lay what had once been an extensive garden. An old black dog lay blinking in the sun, growling at passers-by. Darkness wrought a magical change. Long, eerie shadows stretched from the poplars that nodded and whispered in the night wind. Bats flitted about in the twilight, and an owl hooted ominously. The house itself was dark and gloomy, and some fancied they saw ghostly lights at the windows, The rusty gate creaked often, frightening any timid wayfarer. -MARIE SEIFERT C2141 QD HoPEs THAT BELONG TO ME As the cobweb-covered books Are stored within an attic trunk, So are my hopes Stored within my soul. A As the round autumnal moon Does rise to reach the heavens' heights, So shall my hopes Rise to reach their goal. -JACK MAIL C3l9j . QD Two ROADS Two utterly unlike roads intrigue me. I like the spacious, soft country road, deserted and still, save for the morning songs of the birds or the subdued hum- mings of the bees. It is bordered with fresh green trees and white farmhouses. It winds in and out, far up a steep hill, where one can catch glimpses of the valley below-the winding silver ribbon of a river, and a white hamlet. Far up on the heights the rising sun comes over the hill in a blaze of red glory. A city street has a strange fascination for me, also. The bustling, noisy, heed- less crowds come and go. I like to scan their faces and try to piece together their stories. Huge buildings tower above me. Perhaps a fire or an accident provides excitement. Here there is no peace or silence. All is bustle and confusion. Life Hows and ebbs like the sea. The buildings and narrow streets shut one in like a prison. -MARIE SEIFERT C2143. ll1O4ll DECEMBER, 1926 The RED EG? WHITE TH E DANCER I step from the wings, pause, and dance, Swaying with the lilting cadence of the music. Lightly I tread the air, and see visions with shining eyes, and touch forms with hands like little white birds. The music changes. My feet have no weight, my heart sings: my eyes become glowing coals. I am Hlled with exultation, for I am no longer a common mortal. For me no grime, no squalid poverty, no pain. I I am a burning torch, splendid, flaming, I whirl and whirl, faster, faster, then, still spinning, I limply fall to earth. The dance is done, and I lie, sobbing for breath. -FLORENCE KEEN C1425 . il DESTINT There's a little stream goes tumbling, In a blithe, light-hearted way. To a cavern deep, where, rumbling Far from sun and light and day, Sullen waters, darkly grumbling, Move to stop its carefree play. But it plunges, gayly, spritely, To that black and depthless tomb, Where its brothers, leaping lightly, Oft have rushed to meet their doom. And the ruthless waters mighty Have encompassed it with gloom. So its happy youth is over: Nevermore with waters light, Shall it linger midst the clover Ere it dances down the height. It's a doomed and stricken rover In the caverns of the night. When a happy lad comes singing, You will find it's much the same: There are those whose pride is bringing Gloom and sorrow, care and shame: And they send his joy a-winging: - He must bear his share of pain. -RALPH BERRINGER C213j. ll 105 ll The RED E99 WHITE DISCEMBER, 1926 An Appreciation 'YS' Having been born in a foreign nation is no excuse that I should not express my gratitude for all the opportunities this country has given me. It is imperative that I should do so, and I cannot begin too soon to sing my praise of the United States and the American people. The United States has always seemed to me to be a great benefactor of man- kind. You may search the libraries for historical records, and you will find that the policies of great nations that have had dependencies under their control have been dictated' by selfishness and exploitation. Search where you may, ask whom you please, if you can Hnd a taint in the history of the United States, as far as her territorial policy is concerned, I am greatly mistaken. America, through its government, has pioneered the highway to the fulfill- ment ofthe teachings of Christ. What was done in Cuba I need not mention, but what has been done in the Philippines and is being done is a matter of deep con- cern to me. I could not think of any word or phrase adequate to describe the wonders this country has wrought in that far-off group of islands. To enumerate all the modern improvements in the Philippines, under the American regime, is beyond my ability. However, mention of a few of them, I think, will suffice to give a comprehensive idea of my subject. We have a modern educational system that is uniform throughout the coun- try. Our government is representative. Good roads have been built, making traveling a pleasure. Harbors have been established which greatly facilitate inter- island communication. But the most outstanding feature of American endeavor in the islands is the self-sacrince of the American officials who control the execu- tive branch of the Philippine government, thus making the people co-operate for their common good. Had the policy of America been of a selfish type, had the government been following the conventional examples of other countries, my native land would yet be in a semi-barbaric state, with the positive conclusion that I would not be where I am. Any Filipino who does not subscribe to what I have said is not true to himself, not loyal to his country, nay, not grateful to the United States. For my schooling, for my freedom to think for myself, yes, for my liberty to exercise what my conscience dictates, I am thankful to the citizens of this great country and to its government. -EUTIQUIO CABAIS 42023. fl1o6ll DECEMBEI1, IQ26 The RED E99 WHITE E Joy Comes, grief goes, we know not how. fJAMES Russiam.
