NOEL REYBURN Yell Ledder After being an assistant for two consecu- tive terms, Noel Reyburn was elected head yell leader. He kept school spirit high, lead- ing the school yells and songs. Noel helped to nnanage the card stunts at the gannes. With a large rooting section cooperating, he lead the football team to many victories and made school rallies more enjoyable. Elected editor of the Red and White this term was Bruce Sutherland, hie spent the semester preparing a journal of which Lowell could be proud, which is no easy task. In the past, Bruce has worked as co-senior edi- tor and financial manager. It is an editor ' s job to see that all school activities are writ- ten in the journal, and that the book is fin- ished as scheduled. Robert Rockwell rose from a reporter, to the office of Circulation Manager, to editor of the Lowell. Through his efforts the cur- rent events of Lowell were made easier to follow. A new feature article this term was Lowell, Day by Day. Bob strove hard to make the Lowell a good school paper, and succeeded through his hard work. With one and a half years experience to her credit, Evelyn Baier was elected cafe- teria manager. She was in charge of the cafeteria in general, and other social events, including all of the courtesy lunches served to special guests visiting at Lowell. In the Board of Directors meetings, school affairs and financial matters were carefully discussed. The fine work of Lowell ' s student body offi- cers has made this term an especially pleas- urable one. They deserve all our thanks and gratitude. BRUCE SUTHERLAND Editor of the Red and White. ROBERT ROCKWELL Editor of the Lowell EVELYN BAIER Cafeteria Manager

WILLIAM JOSLYN Pratidant HAIL OFFICERS! BARBARA DON Vice President ROBERT CURLEY Treasurer ALBERT GARCIA Secretary Under the leadership of William Joslyn, Lowell ' s football center and co-captaIn, the student body enjoyed a busy and victorious term with many school rallies and social functions. The job of preparing school rallies and presiding over the Board of Directors meetings are two of the most important du- ties that a student body president must perform. The office of girls ' vice president was cap- ably filled by Barbara Don this term. She conducted all the girls rallies, including the main event of the term, the Girls ' Jinx, and ably assisted president Josyin with prepara- tions for school rallies. Barbara usually intro- duced the girl vice presidents of the visiting high schools to help promote good fellow- ship between the students. As leader of the girls, she led them in cheering for their team. Under the guidance of former yell leader, Robert Curley, the student body card sales reached a high mark, with ninety-six per cent of the students buying them. Robert was in charge of managing the card stunts at the football games, and, this term, had a larger number of students taking part in the stunts than usual. Albert Garcia, the quarter back of Lowell ' s football team, served as student body sec- retary. It was his duty to write the minutes of the Board of Directors meetings and to keep the records in order.

THE PRINCIPAL ' S ESSAGE An official, city-wide contest was held this term for the best essay by a high school student on Thanksgiving For America . Our English teachers selected the composition that in their opin- ion best represented the work of our English Department. The Judges awarded first prize to the essay from Lowell High School. This essay carries the message I had in mind for you, and far more convincingly than anything I might have written. I quote it, therefore, with permission of the writer, Robert Twohy: I, an American, thank God for many things: I thank God that my national anthem sings of bombs that have burst, and not of bombs that someday shall burst. I thank God that the men of my country, though they may be forced into bread lines, will not be forced into battle lines. I thank God that I am tongue-free, not tongue-tied; and that when I read my morning paper, I may read the lines, and not between them. I thank God that I may state my religion, and need not make a state my religion. I thank God that a ' powerful offensive ' does not bring to my mind a million men with guns — but rather eleven men with a football. I thank God that the only concentration camp I know is the classroom. I thank God that my urge to victimize is a youthful urge, and is conf ned to two days of my year: the first day of April, and the last day of October. I thank God that soft chimes, and not shrill sirens, will sign off my radio programs. I thank God that my country is a gateway, and not a dead wall. I thank God that my neighbors and I live in America — and that America lives in us. L. H. STEPHENS. B«M
