A MESSAGE FROM MR. STEPHENS Many of us have never known fhe square red-brick building, called Lowell High School. To fhese especially, and fo fhe ofhers in lesser measure, fhe refurn in Augusf will be an evenf of marked significance. We long for a home of our own, even if if lacks fhe spaciousness, fhe sunny warmfh, and fhe many modern conveniences fhaf we have come fo look upon as acfual necessifies during our long sfay in Galileo. This experience, good as if has been, is over, and we are eager for a fuller life in our own school. l-lowever, we leave Galileo wifh a feeling of sincere appreciafion and hearffelf grafi- fude fo Mr. Nourse and his fine faculfy, and fo fhe enfire Galileo sfudenf body for fheir generous welcome and for fhe many sacrifices fhey have made fo make our exile a happy one. Youfh looks forward always, and if is wifh keen anficipafion fhaf we make our plans for fhe opening of fhe new ferm in Augusf. Mr. Clark, our principal for many years, once said: A greaf school musf look foward fhe fufure, guided by fradifion, nof bound by if. A greaf school musf have an inferesf in humanify and so frain all ifs members fhaf fhe learning fhey acquire shall nof be used for fhemselves alone, buf always confribufing fo fhe service of ofhers. ln fhe hisfory of San Francisco, Lowell's pasf achievemenfs sfand ouf nofable, disfinguished and worfhy of our name: and if shall be our proud dufy fo keep our record fine and clear, and fo prove fo our cify fhaf Lowell deserves a broader field and larger scope fo bring fo fruifion ifs aims for fhe beffermenf of youfh and for fhe fraining of sfrong and fearless leaders who will fake fheir place in fhe civic life of fhe fufure. We look upon fhe building on l-layes and Masonic Sfreefs as a fempo- rary home, remembering fhaf Lowell has been housed in many buildings and has had in realify buf a superficial connecfion wifh any one of fhem: for Lowell is primarily an ideal, a creed and a fradifion, an abiding belief in fhe value of academic fraining and in 'rhe worfhwhileness of spirifual values, an undying faifh fhaf fhe principles for which if sfands are a force fhaf will so mould fhe youfh of foday 'rhaf fheir lives will be happier, fuller, and richer in fhe years fhaf are fo come. ln fhe refiremenf of Mr. Croffs fhe school losf a greaf feacher, a frue counselor, and a lifelong friend: one whoseifaifh in youfh kepf him ever young. Our debf fo him can never be paid. Only by our efforfs fo live up fo fhe high ideals for which he sfood, his courage, his infegrify and fair- mindedness, can we render a slighf buf fiffing fribufe fo fhe many years of service which he so generously gave fo fhe welfare of Lowell l-ligh School.
