-1-i RED xv WT-lITET l CLASS HISTORY l-lE Tour years Trom l928 To I932 spanned perhaps The mosT momenTOus era OT hisTory. The world con- sidered iT so because OT iTs impOrTanT aeronaulrical, poliTical, and Tinancial evenTs. BuT members OT The June class OT '32 OT Lowell l-ligh School have so regarded iT Tor an enTirely diTTerenT reason: namely, ThaT during Those years They were passing Through The mosT delighTTul parT OT Their liTe-Their high-school career. Early in AugusT, l928, The June class OT '32 assembled Tor The TirsT Time in The audiTorium OT Lowell High School. There The chieT execuTive, Mr. Clark, TOgeTher wiTh The Two members OT his cabineT, Mr. CrOTTs and Miss LacosTe, welcomed and advised Them. V ln January, l929, due To crowded cOndiTiOns aT Low- ell, iT was The Tirs+ class TO be exiled Temporarily To a building named Denman Annex. There, wiTh speed rec- ords being made in The air by CapTain l-lawlces, on The ground by Major Seagraves, and On The ocean by The sTeamship Bremen, iT is no wonder ThaT The lighTweighT Track Team, which was composed mainly OT Treshmen, Tol- lowed Those examples by winning TirsT-place honors. Par- Ticularly nOTeworThy was The Traclc Triumph OT OneDenman secTion Over all The oTher secTions OT The school. STarTing iTs second year, The class was recalled TO The main building in AugusT, l929. AT ThaT Time The eyes OT The world were liTTed slcywards by Dale and O'Brien, who seT an endurance record OT more Than l7lf2 clays, and by The GraT Zeppelin, which encircled The globe wiThin a TorT- nighT. Lowell's spiriTs were buoyed equally high, Tor had noT success meT every aTTempT OT Theirs so Tar? BuT Then The crash came, noT only on The sToclc marlceT wiTh a S25,000,000,000 loss, buT also on The TooTball Tield, where Lowell was Tinally deTeaTed aTTer a Tour-year supremacy. The eTTecT OT This enormous collapse paralyzed The whole world Tor Three years, iusT as The Lowell TooTball Team suTTered reverses Tor The nexT Three seasons. BuT ln The brighT lexicon OT yOuTh There is no such word as 'l:ail'. WiTh This moTTO beTore Them, The class prompTly redeemed iTselT by winning The baslceTball cham- pionship in The spring OT l93O and conTinuing iTs vicTOries Tor The nexT Two seasons. .. .. .. - ..l201.. .. ...

JUNE, I932 WiTh The close oT The second year, The chieT execuTive, Mr. Clark, reTired Trom duTy and was succeeded by Mr. CroTTs. The posiTion vacaTed by The promoTion oT Mr. CroTTs was Tilled by Mr. STephens. The Tall oT l93O Tound The enTire world in a sTaTe OT unresT wiTh Gandhi TomenTing civil sTriTe in India and revoluTions breaking ouT in ArgenTina, Brazil, and Peru. This sTaTe oT unresT exTended even To The class oT '32, where some Tew members were in- clined To civil disobedience, buT such leaders as David PoTTer, BeTTy ScoTT, and RoberT Rader were successTul in curbing This more lawless elemenT. ThaT year Bobby Jones had won Tour OT The world's maior golT TournamenTs. Lowell had also been TriumphanT on The Tairway, Tor her golTers had iusT been crowned champions Tor The second successive year. So The class TiTTingly celebraTed Those vic- Tories wiTh an appropriaTe golT dance. ln The spring oT T93 I, The class again organized, choosing RoberT Carney, DoroThy James, and Jason Gray as leaders. ln May, Picard esTablished a world's record by ascending in his balloon To an unparalleled elevaTion oT nearly Ten miles. The class also soared upwards aT The same Time when iT reached a new scholasTic heighT. Formerly, The seniors ruled over The June class oT '32, even as The Spanish king governed his subiecTs. BuT, by The Tall oT I93l, The class Took over The conTrol OT The enTire school, even as The Spaniards had done wiTh Their governmenT aTTer deposing Their monarch. The class conTinued elecTing oTTicers, choosing Richard l-lay, Frances Judson, and Henry Rolph. WiTh The advenT oT I932, The class, 325 sTrong, sTarTed iTs Tinal Term by selecTing David PoTTer, DoroThy EasTon, and RoberT Church Tor leaders. Then an army oT unem- ployed soughT work. BuT There was no cry OT unemploymenT wiTh The June class oT '32, Tor There everyone was busily engaged masTering his advanced sTudies. Gradually, each sTudy was overcome unTil Tinally The class was declared ready Tor graduaTion. On ThaT memorable day oT June The eighTh, I932, The class meT Tor The lasT Time and ioyously yeT sadly celebraTed iTs leave-Taking Trom Lowell High School. ATTer These inspiring ceremonies, The class gave Tree reign To mirTh and gayly danced away The evening. A well-known proverb reads: T-le has achieved success who has leTT The world beTTer Than he Tound iT. Truly, Then, success crowned The eTTorTs oT The June class oT '32, Tor alThough iT Tound ThaT Lowell had already carved her niche in The Temple OT Tame Through her loTTy sTandards and TradiTions oT The pasT sevenTy-Tive years, yeT iT leTT her sTill more Tirmly enTrenched Through iTs own worThy conTribuTions. - -----'T2I1- -
