GLASS HISTORY This is our Commencement — the beginning of a new chapter in our lives: a day which should bring forth joy and excited anticipation. Yet, in each of our hearts there dwells a deep feeling of regret, and a fond memory to be treasured always — Lowell High School, our Alma Mater, the home of so many wonderfully spent days. Today, as we look back upon our first few days at Lowell, we relive every emotion, so vividly were they branded into our memories. We found ourselves in a huge building, teeming with students busily going to and from their classes. Our ranks were soon divided JEAN LEViNSON ® were assigned registry rooms. New friends were made in no time. With the ciaii Hiitorian cldnging of lockers, the sampling of our first hot dog, the perplexing room numbers — our bewilderment increased, but our pleasure was indescribable. At rallies we soon joined wholeheartedly in our school yells and learned then the meaning of Lowell patriotism. We cheered our teams on to their many victories and sorrowed in their de- feats. In the middle of the term we were entertained by the upper classmen at our Freshman Reception. We were told of the service societies, and we made membership in them a goal to strive for. Some of our fellow classmen soon began to serve In the library, cafeteria and offices. Yes, we had become true Lowellltes. Foremost in our minds is the recollection of the sympathy and patient understanding with which Mr. Stephens, our vice principals and our faculty cared for us. At the beginning of the new year we became sophomores, and our numbers and friendships in- creased when the Junior High School graduates joined us — rounding out the class of January, 1940. We became eager club members, and were proud to find our boys earning Block L ' s, our girls enthusiastically joining the Girls ' Athletic Association, and our scholars proving their worth by becoming members of the California Scholarship Federation. As the days flew by, each full of activities, new adventures, we soon found the term had come to an end and Christmas vacation awaited us. Anxious to commence a new semester and be united once again with our many friends, we found this brief holiday to be soon over and we returned to Lowell as Juniors! Now at last we had become upper classmen, faced with new responsibilities, new-found independence. Our courses were no longer arranged for us, and now, with careful selections and with consciousness of the need for grades and courses that would conform with college requirements, we mapped out our programs in an efficient and competent manner. We were to have our own leaders, and with unbiased minds we chose wisely our offi- cers. With the dance committee ' s assistance, we presented our first Low Junior Dance — truly a gala occasion for us. The members of our class began to participate in all the widespread activities that Lowell off- ered. Our more talented members debated while others played in school productions. Many showed definite musical and artistic ability: the journalistically inclined wrote for the Lowell and the Red and White. We were proud, indeed, to see some of our classmates elected into the service societies and others winning athletic victories. Certainly we h ad come a long way from those bawlldered and toddling freshmen: we had now blossomed into young men and women. Lower c ' assmen began to look to us for guidance and leadership, and for the true interpretation of Lowell spirit. Another term ended. Could it be that we were at last to be Seniors, to be the leaders of our school? Yes, after a brief vacation we returned with new vigor and looked at each other with a proud, knowing expression. We were Seniors at long last! We were at once swept in a whirl of activities. Our class members headed the student body and service societies. We endeavored to the best of our ability to help our lower classmen along the right lanes. We outdid one another in setting good examples and making the last year a success. Twa.-.ty
