THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME There's the tang in the air on a baseball day, That brings spirit and life to the stands ,' T here's the cleanness and dash of the ball in play, As it speeds from the pitcher's handsg There's the thrill in the sound of the bat on the ball, And the flash as it soars away g There's the heart-gripping joy that comes to all When Lowell wins the day. There's the struggle, hard fought, on a wind-swept track, That is thrilling and tense and grim g There's the pleading, the cry, as the swimmers turn back For the'last grinding lap of the swim ,' There's the flash of the oars in the bright June sun, In the crew race-a gruelling fight,- There's the pride and the joy in the victory won With the basketball's arching flight. It is true in each sport, at each contest the same,' O'er the fervent desire to win, An intangible something, the spirit of the game, Seems to creep softly, unbidden, in. It summons before us the love in our heart For the school whose fair colors we wear, And good sportsmanship rises supreme, as a part Of the school spirit that's throbbing there. -R. W. BERRINGER, '27

THE.RED.AND.WHITE I THE BOYS' COUNCIL HREE terms ago the Boys' Council was organized at Lowell. Its founding was the result of the efforts of .Mr. Stephens and Mr. Neff to organize the room representatives into a council that would maintain the necessary con- tacts with the executive and student bodies. During the spring term of 1926 the council set a standard of efficiency. The management of the R. O. T. C. gymnasium track meet was commendable. The council, with Hamilton Hedge as president, accomplished much during the fall term in promoting intramural sports. This term has proved to be a most successful one. The management of the interclass track meet and the supervision of the rallies deserve the school's approbation. This term's officers have been Ira Woodworth, president: Eugene Sheehan, vice-president: and Thomas Aitken, secretary. THE GIRLS' COUNCIL URING the fall of 1925 a new institution was organized at Lowell-the Girls' Council. The purpose of this organization is to benefit the student in particular and the school in general, to help all newcomers, and to give all the aid possible to Miss Lacoste, Miss Sullivan, and the teachers. In each room a girl is elected to represent her class. Owing to the large number of students in rooms 319 and 207, two girls are elected from each. Middy Day has been suc- cessfully carried out. Several members of the faculty have taken an active part in this society: among them are Miss Lacoste, Miss Sullivan, and Miss Gibson. Every member has carried out her duties faithfully and with commendable results. 17
