America, more than any other country, is a melting pot of nationalities and races. The Negro, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Latin, the Nordic, the Anglo- Saxon, and countless other races live together peacefully, each serving the common good to the best of his abil- ity. The farmer, guiding his plow, gives us our daily bread; the laborer, work- ing with his hands does the creative tasks that no machine can. do; the businessman, controlling large con- cerns and enterprises, insures our fi- nancial independence; the scientist, constantly increases our free knowl- edge of the world in which we live; the clergyman guiding our spiritual wel- ‘fare, makes life more tolerant: and the soldier, disregarding his personal comfort and safety, is ever ready to defend his glorious nation against ag- gressors. These men and women . Americans all . . . regardless of race, religion, or creed, have dedicated their lives to the American ideal, and work continually to make the United States the greatest nation on earth.

Achieving the honor of holding the highest student offices available at Lowell were President Carl Raaka of the L. H. S. S. A.; Vice-President Agnes Jones; Editor of the ''Lowell,'’ Edwin Conn; Editor of the ''Red and White,'’ Donald Beanston; and Yell Leader, Alvin Heyman. Aiding these officers as lead- ers of the seniors were President, Arthur Schumacher; Vice-President, Sonja Hayward; and Secretary, Bertram Hartford. The Shield and 'L, led by Barbara Krase, included high seniors Marilyn Adams, Marjorie Deckman, Betty Fitzgerald, Jane Griffin, Sonja Hayward, Agnes Jones, Anne Kilcourse, Elizabeth Kitchen, Norma Kothe, Patricia Moffitt, Lucy Mouradian, Helen Schultz, Joan Stuart, Elsie Wagner and Barbara Walter. The Scroll and 'L,'' claimed high senior president, William Chandler and members, Donald Beanston, Robert Burmeister, William Bush, Edwin Conn, Bertram Hartford, Alvin Heyman, Skiles Hoffman, Bertram Horn, Edmund Normoyle, Carl Raaka, Arthur Schumacher, and Ralph Spiegl. Don- ald Beanston, editor of the ''Red and White'' headed an efficient staff comprised of assistant editor, Marilyn Adams; co-senior editors, Alice Bloom and Lucy Mouradian; literary editor, Ruth Kaufman; boys’ sports editor, Ralph Spiegl; and artists, Marjorie Close, Gilbert Jones, Patricia Moffitt and Joan Stuart.

Barreto waits his turn for a fitting while Miss Wilson sees that cap and gown measurements are kept straight. There were 206 records to be kept this term and there were also funny feelings in 206 stomachs when fittings took place. Seniors said: “It won't be long now'' and all knew that they weren't at all happy to leave Lowell. SENIORS Boys’ Councils, respectively, and accomplished a great deal, as did Naomi Shain presiding over the C. S. F. The number of high senior students belonging to this federation totalled thirty-one, and the total number coveting life memberships at the present tine was seventeen. ® The Boys' Glee included first tenors Ralph Buchan and Leslie Keisling; second tenors, William Chandler and Clifford Roberts. Barbara Beall was soprano of the Triple Trio, and with Patsy Alexander, Sonja Hayward, Marjorie Finck and Avonne Arnault comprised the seniors of the Girls’ Advanced Glee. ® R. O. T.

A star athlete himself, Skiles led such outstanding players as football captain Robert Burmeister, William Chandler, Ber- tram Horn, Peter Kepon, Wayne Marsh, Angelo Misthos, Jack O'Brien, Edwin Rowe and John Thompson. ® Turning to the lighter side of school life, a day was set aside by the seniors in which only they partici- pated, entitled, Back To the Farm day. The students and most of their registry teachers dressed in gay and colorful attire typical of the farm, with a barn dance climaxing the day to the envy of the lower stu- dents. Then came the sad but significant part of the term—graduation. The students marched solemnly in their navy blue and cream caps and gowns to the platform of the War Memorial Opera House on Janu- ary 22, 1941. Here speeches were delivered by Class Historian June Nakayama and Valedictorian David Robins, excellent vocal selections were rendered by the two advanced glee clubs, and concert selections were played by the orchestra. The end of four perfect years entered its final stage the same evening at the graduation ball held in the St. Francis Hotel. B Four years of loyalty and everlasting spirit, an example for future seniors to follow, had passed into Lowell history. Ze ee. Ee nna CRNA See SO Si a oa nL ed CLASS HISTORY HISTORY, as we know it, is a chronological narration of events with their causes a nd effects. There are histories of art, of music, of nations, of civilizations . .. which people study in order to understand man and the world in which he lives. Then, it might seem pretentious for us, this graduating class, to call the little story of our last four juvenile years a history. ¥ Yet it is a human weakness, on a day of fulfillment and happiness such as this, to pause for a pleasant moment and give thought to some aspects of our class life in Lowell; and we hope you will indulgently forgive our youthful desire for the limelight during an hour or two. ® Four years ago there were hundreds of students throughout the city, thousands throughout the nation, entering the high schools. They were all strangely alike, strangely different. Though, for the most part inarticulate, all wanted life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; their outlooks on life, their definite aims, their ambitions differed widely. H Their choices of a high school were largely governed by those aims and ambitions. We felt that our class, entering Lowell then was fortunately made up of students whose aims and ambitions would carry them on through university training or its equivalent. When graduating from grammar schools, we thought ourselves important personages; but, somehow or other, we shrank into timid nonentities when entering Lowell. The school was as big as we were little, the room numbers bewildered us, the locker clangs deafened us, the thousands of new faces frightened us. Only the kind shepherding of Mr. Stephens, of our vice-principals, our teachers, and a few upper classmen, saved us from stampeding. B We were divided into different flocks, assigned to different folds; but after a few days we realized that the great big boys and girls weren't wolves, and that it was safe for us to venture alone in the corridors or in the court; and presently, we were gamboling about as if we had always been there ... It was OUR school. We had very little choice of work in our first year. The program was made out by the office and it was not for us to question why. However, we were eligible in the field of selected sports, school clubs, journalism, and debating . . . in none of which we were phenomenal. Our first year ended almost before we had recovered from the excitement of its beginning. Naturally WE, the fine class of December 1940, were all promoted. Summer vacation followed report cards, and was followed by our second term as the ''little Freshmen.'' $ January 1938 saw the class helping the school to welcome an attractive group of students from the Junior Highs which, added to our group, made the complete class of Fall, 1940. We were Low 10's... sophomores. We began to realize how small and insignificant freshmen are. Our subject matter changed in character, we studied earnestly, and considered college requirements. Nevertheless, during the second year we participated more in the many extra-curricular activities at Lowell. Truly we felt well seasoned as Lowellites as we entered our junior year. We were granted some independence in choosing our own subjects, also our teachers, and class officers . . . liberties which were not ours before. F With our independence came our first social event, sponsored by our dance com- mittee with our faculty adviser, the L3 dance, which was received enthusiastically by the Juniors and our guests. B Some members of the class proved to be gifted with forensic abilities; witness the spectacular trophies that were brought home. We may also boast that the term plays owed much to the dramatic talents of our actors and actresses. In the selected fields of sports, in crew, in basketball, in baseball, in swimming, in soccer, in football our efforts for glory made us better men. The last year as 'prep- sters'' brought many responsibilities. We modestly assumed the leadership of the school. We became leaders of the service societies, the Block L societies, and other outstanding activities, for we were now seniors. In addition to the regular low senior dance, the class was allowed to have a Senior Day, with a ''Back to The Farm dance. ® Being seniors perhaps turned the heads of some, but beneath that so-called “glamour'’ was a big question: ''What has the future in store for each of us?'’ We have now com- pleted the first step in our trek towards our goal. We are happy, yet sorrowful, because though we are older now, we are still mere students confused by so many domestic, social, economic, and world problems. But one thought stands out clearly . .. our Ameri- can school is a democracy, unequaled throughout the world. We knew well that we weren't taxed for its maintenance, didn't have to sacrifice for its continuance. We knew that as school children we all were protected and privileged members of the community; we knew all this; but began now to realize and appreciate it. Furthermore, we grad- ually became aware of the bigness of the real work-a-day world into which we were so soon to be launched. Perhaps the Exposition, the opening of which was a feature of our Junior year, helped us to this awareness. B Midst world turmoil, domestic problems, and human sufferings, the class of Fall, 1940, now stands on the threshold of university or other approved sources of training, to be prepared for our later life. As American men and women we must try to think sensibly, to be tolerant, to cooperate loyally, to be ready to assume the privileges and the work of good citizens. It is our hope and desire to appreciate the blessedness of being born in America, the ‘heaven on earth’ nation, unique in this troubled world.

AMERICANS REWARD SCHOLARS OUT OF THE ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY STUDENTS in the Lowell division of the California Scholarship Federation, Naomi Shain was this last term elected president. Marion DeBerry became vice-president and Judith Job was elected secretary. Following in the footsteps of Carol Christian and Gloria Meyer, Naomi Shain has done a very good job as the leader of Lowell's chapter of the Federation. With Mr. S. W. Moore as their faculty adviser, the members of the Federation are completing a very successful term. B The purpose of the C.S.F. is to coach students in certain subjects if the students happen to fall behind. The subjects in which students most frequently need special instruction are Geometry, Chemistry, and the various languages. Due to this extra coaching, many students have been able to improve themselves greatly in the courses which had previously given them much difficulty. ® During the past term many important C.S.F. meetings took place. Along with all of the meetings and various programs which have been held in conjunction with the C.S.F., an important factor has been the Publicity Committee, under the able leadership of Joan Wise. This group has done an excellent job, the purpose of which was to publicize and arouse interest in the various C.S.F. meetings. Of major importance to the members of the C.S.F. was the Entertainment Committee under the sponsorship of Naomi Hewlett. This committee had the important job of obtaining speakers for the important C.S.F. meetings. On September 28th there was held at the Golden Gate International Exposition a conven- tion of the many different chapters of the California Scholarship Federation. From Lowell there were sent twelve delegates. One of the concluding phases of this term's C.S.F. schedule will be the C.S.F. dance on December 6th. The dance committee for this gala occasion consists of Barbara Conrad, the chairman, and her associates: Donald Grannis, Bertram Horn, Frank McClure, Florence Morrison, Ted Myers, and David Robins. The C.S.F. Planning Committee, whose job it was to limit further the requirements for the Senior Class Historian and Valedictorian, consisted of the chairman, Vera Kreekis and Avonne Arnault, Emilie Brou- illet, Jacqueline Morris, and Rudi Scheidt. $ The goal of C.S.F., which is now in its sixth year of existence, is Scholarship for Service.'’ The C.S.F. is becoming a common thing in most schools nowadays, the purpose of which is to sponsor.scholarship and higher achievement on the part of the average high school student in the state of California. In order to become a member of the C.S.F. a student must have at least three A's and one B in his prepared subjects on his final school report. To become a life member of the C.S.F. a student must be in the society two-thirds of the time he is in Lowell; one of these terms must be in his senior year.

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL MAJOR WiLLIAM SERGEANT WILLIAM BUSH FLEXSENHAR HARRY KALLBERG Headquarters and Color Guard Bush, Flexsenhar, McFarland, Paltenghi, McClure, Blankenship. AMERICANS DEFEND THEMSELVES UNDER THE ABLE LEADERSHIP of Sergeant Harry Kallberg, Instructor, Lieutenant-Colonel William Bush, and Major William Flexsenhar, the Lowell battalion of the Reserve Officer's Training Corps completed a very successful term at a time when the interest of the whole nation is turned toward military training and preparedness. Sergeant Kallberg replaced the late Captain Flexsenhar as instructor of the battalion and came to us from Fort Winfield Scott. This semester the battalion was composed of one hundred and ninety-one men, divided into three companies, and, in addition to the R.O.T.C. Band, turned out every Wednesday, when weather permitted, for parade, review and inspection. Company ''A'' was commanded by Captain Donald Rahlmann who was aided by First Lieutenant Donald Huff, and Second Lieutenants, Dixon Dudley, James Gray, and Julius Braun. Company 'B'' was commanded by Captain Thomas Mauer, with Ted Schulz and John Anderson as First Lieutenants and Barton Meredith as Second Lieutenant. Com- pany 'C ' was commanded by Captain Frederick Warnke with the assistance of First Lieutenant Robert Murphy and Second Lieutenants Walter O'Connell and James McFarlane. Three officers’ dinners were held during the semester. These were climaxed by the Officers’ and Sergeants’ Banquet on December |3. At this banquet the tentative list of next term's officers was announced. Plans were made to invite some civil- ians and representatives from the military units in the city. FS In line with the new program introduced by Sergeant Kallberg, the Lowell R.O.T.C. held its first dance in school time in the Armory on October 18. The cadets came in uniform and each was allowed a bid for a girl. B The regular boys’ rifle team enters outside competition only during the spring term; however, they practice this term and hope to capture their share of awards next semester. ® There has been a change in the officers’ uniforms. Instead of the tan trousers, officers this term wore complete olive drab in harmony with the men in the ranks. A ''B' average was required to apply for promotion. The examinations for promotion were held between November 4th and December 5th. BS The Lowell R.O.T.C. and all of Lowell High School regrets the loss of Captain Henry J. Flexsenhar whose death occurred on October 7th. Captain Flexsenhar taught R.O.T.C. at Lowell for twenty-one years and was recently appointed to the detail staff in charge of all Reserve Officers’ Training Corps activities in San Fran- cisco. As this goes to press no plans have been made to enter drill competition. However, if Lowell enters, the battalion should capture its share of the prizes. 47 I PPE I eer ee Oe Ln en Capt. Mauer Capt.

Samuel Kay Polland, the guiding light behind Lowell's dramatic successes, presented, near the end of the first report period, two very delightful plays, ''Ladies in Linen and A Wedding.'' The day before Hallowe'en, Archie Comes Home ' and ''Gas, Air and Earl'' were produced for upper-class girls. Later one-act plays cannot be recorded as this journal goes to press. On the evenings of November 27, 28, 29, for the price of twenty- five cents, the ‘Varieties of 1940, featuring twenty-four acts in three divisions, speaking, singing and dancing, was produced. Nine humorous skits were skillfully acted. Principal actors in these plays were: Frank Quinn, this term's award winner; Charles Blake, Donald Brush, Margilee Chrisman, John Harvey, and Joan Stuart. Other parts were held by George Chigris, Marian Cocks, Frank Davis, Joan Dennis, Ralston Harvey, Helen Herring, Dorothy Kane, Jerome Kilty, James Livingston, Philis Ludlam, William Manning, Lorraine Mangan, Edward McClarty, Nancy Neal, Richard Rosenblatt, Max Rubinchik, Mitzi Russ, June Warsing, Teddy Weatherby, and Dorothy Weisbaum. § Shir- ley Burke sang Robert Roger's original songs; Maceio Williams played his own compositions; Ray Anson, George A chorus girl (left, Lorraine Mangan) and a nurse The lost collar button is found and The Wedding is on!

Three more lovely girls’ costume choruses performed doll, colonial, and sport dances. § The grand finale of the entire cast singing Shout Wherever You May Be, | Am An American against a flag-background and the figure of Liberty (Patsy Brazil) caused the audience to reach its highest pitch of enthusiasm.

Lorbeer, debating coach of many years ex- perience, the Lowell Debating Society com- pleted, as usual, a victoriou s term. The club opened the semester by electing as officers David Robins, president; George Karonsky, vice-president, and Henry Greenberg, secre- tary. The Lowell soeechmakers had a large pro- gram this year which included league and practice debates; contests against colleges and many tournaments with oratorical, declama- tion, and extemporaneous speaking. On Oc- tober 3rd, the first league debate was held. Commerce came to Lowell, where Karonsky and Robins won first and second speakerships, respectively, thereby giving Lowell a 2 to | de- cision. On the same day, Lowell orators went to Mission High, where Seymour Meister and John Harvey upheld our tradition and won a 3 to 0 decision from the judges.

The Society had quite a number of practice debates scheduled. They opened with Los Gatos High school, where William Brinner, Sandor, Burstein, John Harvey, Seymour Meister, Richard Rosenthal, and John Cooper defended the honor of Lowell. Next came Sacred Heart, on October 23rd, where Harvey and Hannon argued for the Indians. On October 25th, part of the Lowell team journeyed Above the debaters’ trophy cabinet in 319 is Coach Lorbeer's motto: ‘Learn-think-plan-talk but don't reverse the order.

Lowell was kept busy with Santa Rosa on November 6th, and 8th. A strong team comprised of Brinner, Burstein, Cooper, and Rosenthal, visited them on the 6th; Phyllis Anderson and Edwin Conn argued against Santa Rosa here on the 8th. In all practice debates there is no de- cision handed down. The Debating Society rendered service to the school by putting on Constitution and Armistice Day programs in the school auditorium, before student audi- ences. In each case six or seven speakers spoke on related topics. The big event in forensics for Lowell is the contest with the University of California. As a preliminary, on Octo- ber 23rd, Karonsky, Robins, and Zelechower debated against the California Freshmen. In the main event, held on Novem- ber |5th at night in the school auditorium, Robins, Meister, PHYLLIS ANDERSON CHARLES COHEN and Harvey had it out with the California Varsity.

June Nakayama won first place in Women's Oratory; Henry Greenberg took second place in extemporaneous speaking, and, with Shirley Zelechower, tied with Harvey and Meister for first in debating. The second tournament in which Lowell was entered was at Modesto on December 7th. Here eight senior teams and four junior teams were entered, in combinations, that it was found, worked very successfully together. Every term the Northern California Forensic League picks a subject which will be used in every high school abiding by its rules. Lowell is one of these schools. The topic for this term was: Resolved, that military training should be com- pulsory in high school.

AMERICAN S$ 56 UNDER THE SKILLFUL DIRECTION of Miss J. M. Neppert, the Boys’ Advanced Glee Club completed a noteworthy semester. Miss Neppert was assisted by the laudable help of the officers of the semester: pr esident, Jerome Kilty; vice-president, William Chandler, secretary, John Anderson. In their Double Quartet were: Ralph Buchan and Leslie Keisling, first tenors; second tenors, William Chandler and Clifford Roberts; as baritones, Jerome Kilty and Charles Blake; and Hubert Fulda and John Anderson, bassos. The Glee Club and the Double Quartet partici- pated in many programs using their outstanding abil- ity to its best advantage. Their fine voices were in- deed appreciated in the Variety Show and also in the Parent-Teacher's Association programs through- out the term. Then they climaxed an already success- ful semester with an exceptionally stellar performance at the graduation exercises. B Once more the Girls’ Advanc ed Glee Club, under an able leader, Miss H. J. Alexander, presented several enjoyable pro- grams. The club elected as officers for the term: president, June Marie Roberts; vice-president, Ber- nice Hayes, and as secretary, Margaret Lelbach. The Triple Trio, composed of the most talented members of the organization, included Barbara Beall, Shirley Burke, Ruth Simms, the first sopranos; Marilyn Ressel, Mary Libby, and Margaret McGrath, second so- pranos; and the altos, Joan Ireland, Edna Lagorio, and Margaret Lelbach. They deserve a great amount of credit for their pleasing contributions to the Va- riety Show. A few of the selections which the Triple Trio and the Glee Club rendered were: ''Indian Love Call by Rudolph Friml; Strauss's ''Tales From Vienna Woods, and My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice, by Saint-Saens. At the Parent-Teacher's Association program they made a fine showing and as a grand conclusion to a delightful semester they rendered their traditional service at the graduation. The suc- cess of this Triple Trio might well be placed upon the capable fingers of the two accompanists, Marion Burness and Florence Morrison. B The A Cappella Choir under the expert direction of a new member of the faculty, Mr. Karpenstein, enjoyed one of its best terms since its beginning at Lowell. The two soloists were Shirley Burke and Barbara Tyler. The Choir consisted of seventy-five members; ten bassos, twenty-two sopranos, eight tenors, and twenty-six altos. A Double Quartet was formed in the Choir but the names of its members were not ready when this article was written. The creditable work of Bar- bara Smiley, their accompanist, must not go without mention. After their fine showing at the P.-T. A. meeting, we are expecting much from this organiza- tion in the future.

AMERICANS PLAY INSTRUMENTS THE CONCERT ORCHESTRA, under the expert direction of Mr. Madison Devlin, contributed many enjoy- able hours to our school life this term. Losing twenty-two members because of last term's graduation, this comparatively inexperienced orchestra did very well in keeping up the high standards of past Lowell orches- tras. Much of the success of this organization is due to the untiring efforts of Leo Manus, the Concert Master. = On December | 6th the concert orchestra gave a remarkable performance for the American Vocational Association. At the Variety Show they were splendid and deserve a great deal of credit for their fine work. As a grand finale to an exceptional term they gave another sparkling performance at the Commencement Exercises. = The dance orchestra, under Clarence Ginther, grew in popularity by presenting the popular tunes of the day in a delightful manner. We all owe a vote of thanks to this group for the success of our class dances. ¥ = Under the baton of Clarence Ginther and the marching direction of Howard Voldman, the school band has played at all the rallies and football games. In their snappy red and white uniforms they proudly paraded on the field during half-times and while in the stands added pep to our cheering section. Indeed, we have a right to be proud of our fine, well directed music department. 58 WY on nnn ee ee eS EE CLARENCE GINTHER Fourth Row—Hannon, Burness, Sipes, Voldman, Lewis, Larson, Aaronson, Ginther, Apter, Band Leader Set A ALLELES LIL $5 EE EOE eet SPORTS The American's love of sport is one of his strongest characteristics. Nearly everyone follows a favorite football or baseball team. But Americans are not satistied merely to sit in a stadium; they like the thrill of participation. Tennis, golf, swimming, and horseback riding are popular recreational sports, and in winter, ice skating and skiing are becoming increasingly well liked. American tennis players have won the Wimbledon championships for many years in succession. In the 1936 Olym- pic Games, men and women athletes representing the United States placed in virtually every track and field, swim- ming and diving event. This superi- ority reaches into every field of athletic competition. Such competi- tion stimulates good feeling between winner and loser. A vivid example of these qualities was the recent Presi- dential election, one of the most bitter and hard fought campaigns in the his- tory of this nation. After the people had spoken, factional issues were for- gotten, and the loser pledged support and cooperation to the winner. If the World War was won on the playing fields of Eton, the future battle of mankind is now being won on the sand- lots of America. ad wil My aunt! v RY ono N “As a result of his own experience in public affairs and of his ancestors’ expe- rience, a true American always acquiesces in the decision of a majority ...

AMERICANS LOVE FOOTBALL THE GREEN, HARD PLUGGING LOWELL TEAM came within 26 seconds of tieing the unconquered Poly team, which captured the city title held by Lowell last season. Completely fooling the experts, the Indians turned in a better per- formance against the Parrots than did any of the more highly rated teams and successfully climaxed a rather unfruitful Hoffman discourages Mulvihill of St. Ignatius with a stiff straightarm, while Vierra rushes in to assist. football season. B Coach Voyne, had an exceptionally large football turnout, but he found himself short on veterans. Assisted by Mr. Feiling, a newcomer to Lowell, Mr. Voyne worked hard on fundamentals. After only a few weeks of practice, the team met Pittsburg. Hard fighting, but inexperienced, they lost, 39 to 6. The next practice game took the boys to San Rafael where they trounced the home team, 7 to 6. Chandler accounted for the touchdown; Willback con- verted. The still ‘green’ Indians were beaten, 8 to 0, by a larger, more experienced, Richmond team. The last practice game gave the Indians a 35-6 victory over State's Reserves. Willback comple ted every conversion. Russell, Hill, Tropp- mann and Bimrose made the touchdowns. F Most of the players on the second team still have at least one more year of football. Such outstanding players as Cardelli, Cook, De Forde, Dotur, Hill, Holman, Irvine, Orsi, Strei, Thompson, Wigmore and Willback, plus promising replacements from the ''Goof ' team, assure a fine 1941 team. This year's first string was Simmons and Vierra, ends; Horn and O'Brien, guards; Misthos and Burmeister, tackles; Troppmann, center; Montrose, quarterback, Russell and Calender, halfbacks, and Dotur at fullback. Orsi and Wigmore were out most of the season with injuries. Although Lowell was in the cellar the whole season, the stands, filled with spirit, never let the team down. STAR ON ANY MAN'S TEAM WAS CARDINAL BACKFIELD CAPTAIN ED RUSSELL, TRIPLE SPARK PLUG. AGAINST TH! HE PASSED... HE KICKED... THE LIONS GROWL AT 30 INDIAN PASSES . .. a 'green'’ Indian eleven made its 1940 league debut at Kezar against the Galileo Lions. It was a 14-0 victory for Galileo, but it was Lowell's show. The Cards unexpectedly pulled one of the fanciest and most daring attacks ever concocted. The Indian air attack boomeranged, however, for both Lion tallies started from intercepted passes. In the first quarter, Don Whitmyre intercepted Captain Russell's pass on Galileo's 42. Silver took a lateral over for six points; Downey place-kicked the extra point. Early in the third quar- ter Whitmyre scored again and Chatham plunged over to convert. COMMERCE WRITES A STORY-BOOK FINISH ... As the hands of Kezar's big clock almost touched, Jake Corboff dashed across Lowell's goal to give Commerce a ‘'story-book ' victory, 14-7, climaxing one of the most exciting prep games in years. Lowell's score came within two minutes after the kickoff, when Orsi, playing bang-up ball, passed to Russell in the end zone. Willback con- verted. Tracy of Commerce bucked his way into the end zone in the first quarter for six points. Blake converted, tieing the score, 7-7. There it remained until the last 55 seconds of the game, when Russell's frantic pass was inter- cepted. With seconds to go, Corboff picked up perfect interference and ran 25 yards to the touchdown victory. Blake converted. WILDCATS BREAK LOOSE IN THE 4th! ... Hard fighting, but still inexperienced, Lowell met defeat at the hands of St. Ignatius in a game of very little excitement for three and three-quarter periods. Late in the fourth quarter the Wildcats took full advantage of a 15-yard Lowell penalty to move deep into Indian territory. After two runs and a pass, Coleman packed the ball over the Indian end zone for 6 points, and then returned to con- vert. Lowell rallied gallantly but failed to score in the few remaining minutes of the game. B TOMMY RYAN STAGES A S. H. SOLO! .. . Though the Sacred Heart game ended in defeat for the Indians, it was one of the most exciting games of the prep season, thanks to Sacred Heart's Tommy Ryan who turned in a most amazing perform- ance. The first time Ryan fingered the football he scooted right through Lowell to a 47-yard touchdown. His conver- sion failed, but he made up by taking the ball on the next Irish first down and scampering 58 yards for another six points. This conversion attempt succeeded. So, after three minutes of play, the score stood, 13-0. Ryan checked up seven more in the second period. The Indian eleven came back fighting mad in the second half and Russell plowed through to the end zone for six points in the third quarter. Willback's attempted conversion failed but Russell picked another six points in the fourth period, the game ending, 20-12. B CONGRATULATIONS, SWASHBUCKLING BUCS! ... Three thousand fans saw the Lowell-Balboa game get off to an evenly contested first quarter. Then it happened! The Bucs took possession on the Indians’ 40 early in the second period. Nilan moved 13 yards; then Davis took a lateral and scooted into the end zone for 6 points. Ebert's conversion failed. A 34-yard pass, Nilan to Cohn, gave the Bucs another touchdown just as the first half ended. Davis’ conversion failed. Midway in the third quarter, Balboa scored on a pass to Cohn, lateraled to Fraschieri. Again conversion failed. Two minutes later the Bucs were back for another 6 as Davis knifed through to the end zone. Lowell came back in the fourth quarter to tally 6 points. Bimrose passed to Chandler for || yards, and then to Irvine for 19. Irvine took the ball on the | and dashed over. The score was now 24-6 where it remained. B THE BEARS CLAW RUSSELL'S PASSES . . . Successive bad breaks forced the Indians to bow to Mission, POLY CHAMPS, AS AGAINST EVERY OTHER OPPONENT... 14-0. Lowell presented a greatly improved forward HE RAN line to the Bears, who claimed their first touchdown after bad passes gave them the ball on the Indians’ 13. Morales’ attempted field goal sailed wide but, due to a Lowell offside, Mission took the ball on the Indian |. Hazen charged into the end zone for the 6; Morales kicked for the extra point. Early in the third quarter the Bears got off a towering punt which struck Dotur on the bounce, permitting Mission to re- cover. Another offside penalty against Lowell, plus an end run and shovel pass, gave Mission the ball on Lowell's 4. Morales cross-bucked for the touchdown, and converted. Lowell rallied in the fourth period, as Russell's passes carried them to the Mission ||. There the game ended, however, before the drive could yield pay.

With inches to go, and but 26 seconds of play remaining in the game, the Parrots crossed the Indian goal line to end their most hotly contested game of the prep season. The score of 7-0 was in itself a tribute to the hard fighting Lowell team that was doomed by the ''experts'' to a 40-0 defeat. The merciless pre-game dopsters gave Lowell little hope in its tilt with undefeated Poly, but until the final quarter the only threats that were made to the goal line were made by Lowell. While 20,000 prep fans gasped, Poly took advantage of a fumbled punt to move for the final touchdown. It took two plays for Foley to crash over right guard to pay dirt. Here is how it happened: With the quarter quickly drawing to a close, Poly deserted its typical single wing for the double wing formation. In two running plays Poly picked up 26 yards, but got set back on the Lowell nine by an offside pen- alty. Fourth down, and less than a yard to go for a first down on the Lowell three, and Foley attempted a line buck. The attempt was good by two inches. Then two more dynamite plays, and the game was won. Farnham's conversion was good, and the score was Poly 7, Lowell 0. % Lowell's line turned in their best performance of the year. In the first two quarters Lowell's running plays proved to be too much for the Parrots, as the Indians scrambled all over Poly terri- tory. Intercepted passes almost proved to be Poly's downfall. Calender intercepted Ferem’s pass in the first quarter, and Troppmann and Russell accounted for three more interceptions. Willback attempted a field goal from the Poly 34, but failed. In the whole first half the Parrots got nowhere on the ground, and did worse when they resorted to the air. The third quarter began as if to be Lowell's final chance to reach into the clouds for the unexpected. In the beginning of the third quarter Russell quick-kicked over safety and Farnham's head, and Poly took over the ball on its own eleven. Vierra brought Farnham down for a loss of six yards in the next play. Farnham got off a bad punt, but Chandler attempted to field it on the dead run. He fumb!ed, and Rivero recovered the ball for Poly on its own 36, and what appeared to be Lowell's game suddenly flip-flopped. Poly opened up a crushing ground attack on the tiring Indians and grabbed up gains until it had a first down on the Lowell eight. Horn stopped two attempted runs through his position, and threw Ferem back for a loss of four yards. A pass, Farnham to Wirts, though complete, was out of the end zone. The Indians took over the ball, but Russell's pass was intercepted, and then came Poly's touchdown plays. INDIANS AND EAGLES BOTH KEEP THEIR FEATHE RS ... The Indians set out to trim the Eagle's tail feathers in the final game of the 1940 season, but succeeded only in holding the Eagles to a scoreless tie. With Dotur pounding his way through the Washington line for four and six-yard gains, and Hoffman doing the same with classy running, the Indians twice threatened the Eagles’ goal line, but the Washington line succeeded in turning back both attempts. Horn and Russell both did beautiful jobs of playing. The Indians resumed a first period drive in the third quarter, but again it failed to yield any points. This was the last Lowell game for all of the first string players with the exception of Dotur and Orsi, who will return to lead next year’s team. Lowell's stands fill with enthusiastic rooters—the band plays spiritedly—the Lowell rooters cheer their football team, win or lose.

AMERICAN LIGHTWEIGHTS ALSO PLAY THE FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE football team, popularly known as the 'Goofs,'' played seven rival lightweight teams this season. Mr. Stanley Lighty, coaching ''Goof ' football for his third year, had a turnout of forty-six. = The “Goofs'' started the season with a practice game against Tamalpais. Lowell lost, 25 to 12, because of little defense experience against the tricky style of the Tamalpais reverse plays. The Papooses lost their next game to Washing- ton's third string varsity, 22 to 0. The 130 pounders claimed their only victory against Saint Ignatius. They twice held the Wildcats on their goal line, and then scored by a pass from Buchanan to Moore. Larry Horn, brother of Bert Horn, Varsity guard, drop kicked the extra point. Commerce beat the Cardinals, 7 to 0. Lowell's defeat was mainly due to the placement of the Commerce goal posts. A Cardinal touchdown would have been made, had Sim, after catching a pass, not stopped after crossing the 10-yard line. He supposed it to be the goal. The Bulldogs scored on a blocked punt, running five yards to a touchdown. The Papooses put up a gallant fight against Mission's Bears, but were forced to yield, 13 to 6. Twice they fought their way to the 10-yard line and finally scored on two passes; one from Buchanan to Sims, and another from Buchanan to Gates. The Bears claimed their two touchdowns on a pass and a running play. Polytechnic defeated Lowell, 20 to 0, with a hard driving, running game which was too tough for Lowell's line to stop. Perhaps Poly was fired by remembering that last year's Goots'' were twice beaten by Lowell. Though the Balboa game ended in a score- less tie, it was a real moral victory for the little Indians, who not only held the heavily favored Bucs but shoved them about, lacking only the necessary scoring punch. The game ended with the ball on the Bucs' five-yard line for the second time. Players such as Buchanan, Gates, MacDougall and Moore look good for future teams. The 1940 first team consisted of Falk and Sim, ends; Sokolov and McLaughlin, tackles; MacDougall and Smith, guards; Bull, center; and Gates, Fulda, Lee, Astrahantseff and Silverman, backs. On the second team were Bernatas and Green, ends; Williamson and Single, tackles; Horn and Oliver, guards; Larkins, center; McLennan, Buchanan, Kittelman, Hoffman and Mornard, backs. It is inter- esting to note that no serious injuries to any player took place this season. Coach Lighty has limited the turnout for the ''Goofs'' to freshmen and sophomores be- cause of lack of room; because veterans should fill the Varsity; and because the experience gained by lower classmen is highly important.

Al Clemente Irving Balter Harold Schepps : Bob Bellmant Dallas Rader Jatk Crowley Ed Odenthal David Chinn Fronk Santerd AMERIGAN 120’s PLAY BASKETBALL THE 120'S HAD a very successful season, taking second place in the league. On this term's first string were Gilpin, right forward; Crowley, left forward; Chinn center; Sanford, right guard; and Odenthal, left guard. Of these first string players, Gilpin, Chinn, Sanford, and Odenthal were on the 10's first string last year. Sanford was one of the Jack Gilpin principals of the team, getting the Indians out of many tight spots. The honor of being high point man went to Chinn, who often helped to put the team ahead. ¥ In the first game of this season the Papooses set the Buccaneers adrift by handing them a 20 to 9 defeat. In the following game the Indians skinned the St. Ignatius Wildcats 25 to 13. The lrish fought hard but were unable to stop the straight shooting Papooses who managed to ring up a 31 to 1 4 vic- tory. The Lions with bared fangs went into the fray, but were unable to defeat the Indians who won 19 to 15. ¥ The Papooses had to use all their power to defeat the Bullpups in a battle that was anybody's game up to the last second of play. The score was 22 to 21 in favor of the Indians. In the final game of the season the Eaglets were defeated in their own nest 34 to 20 by the tomahawk swinging Papooses. The only defeats of the season were at the hands of the Mission Bears who turned the tables by scalping the Indians 19 to || and the Poly Parrots who escaped the Papooses' tomahawk to defeat them 20 to |7. Lowell can be justly proud of the Papooses who made a total of 179 points to their opponents 131 and who took the second rung of the championship ladder. 70 a ee SS ——————————_———_——2—E ee eee Second Row — Funsten, Fukui, Gee, Toda, Epstein, Obayashi, Fanfelle; First Row—Akard, Vayssie, Ah Tye, Horner, Hammer, Hofmann, Proulx, Kumekawa. ’ Roger Fanfelle Bill Akard Doug Horner Conrad Ah Tye Irving Hammer AMERICAN 110’s PLAY BASKETBALL DESPITE THE FACT that the 1 10's did not bring home ths almost traditional championship, they did take the fourth rung from the top of the league ladder. With Proulx at right forward, Akard in the center spot, Fukui at right guard, Fanfelle and Obayashi alternating at left forward, and Vayssie and Ah Tye taking turns at left guard, the | 10's played an admirable season of give and take ball. The opener with the Bucs was a dazzling 23 to 10 victory. The team looked like sure-fire championship material. Thay reaped 42 points against the Mission Cubs 20. The Injuns tamed the Wildcats with a score of 23 to 8. The Wildcats were allowed to scratch, but that was all. The Par- rots took the fourth game of the season with 22 points, leaving but |5 for the Injuns. It looked as though Doctor Neff had found an old Indian remedy when the 10's beat Sacred Heart 18 to 8. Complete recovery seemed to be in sight when the Papooses gave the Lion a dose of 36 to 20 medicine. The Bullpups took a 30 to 16 bite from the Indians’ improvement chart and brought about a condition which caused a relapse when the Eaglets flew off with a 20 to 13 score. During the season the Papooses garnered 186 total points against their opponents’ 138. Bill Akard was high point man, but 'Doctor'’ Neff said it was the prescription of ''one for all and all for one’ that put the | 10's near the top of the ladder. 7 AMERICANS LIKE SOCCER THE 1940 LOWELL SOCCER TEAM, under Coach Elmer Harris, opened its season with two practice games against Pescadero. On Sep- tember | 1, the Cardinals lost their first game, | to 0, in the last minute of play. Two days later Pescadero again defeated the Red and White, this time by a decisive 3 to 0 score. Not dismayed, Lowell next played San Mateo and S. F. J. C. to scoreless ties, though Lowell was the better team in both games. Against Lincoln our shin-kickers showed their potential power trouncing the ''Honest Abes”’ 8 to 0. Phil Arnot, Oak Chinn, John Hardgrave, George Poulo, and Ken Shelley all scored at will. In their league debut, Lowell proved to be a con- tender for the league crown, defeating Balboa | to 0. Starring was George Goto, who, in the second half, made the lone tally. With a pertect league record the Indians met the high-flying Washington Eagles with high hopes and real Lowell spirit. Soon after the opening whistle the Eagles put the ball past the last white stripe. The score ended | to 0 against the Cardinals, though the Indians came very close to paydirt seve ral times. Joe Eckart, Ernie Nackord, and Dick Roche all starred in defeat. Facing Galileo next on the schedule, the Red and White battled hard to a | to | tie. King Leo scored first, but this aroused the Indian's temper accounting for a second half tally by Forward George Poulo. Goalie Warren Swanson personally prevented any more Lion scores, making magnificent saves. This encounter gave Coach Harris a balanced starting unit, possessing team-play and spirit. This team started most all games included: John Hardgrave, left inside; George Poulo, center forward; Phil Arnot, right inside: Bob Carlson, right wing; George Goto, left wing; halfbacks: Willis Hitchcock, Ernie Nackord and Dick Roche; fullbacks: Joe Eckart and Bob Friend; and last but not by any means least goal guard, Warren Swanson. The breaks seemed to fall against the Indians when they took the field in their traditional game with the Polytechnic Parrot, being out-witted and out-played by a 5 to 0 score. The Red and White neglected to show any teamwork re- sulting in the embarrassing defeat. The Parrot men kicked the ball between the goalposts for three scores in the first half, and they tallied twice in the last half. Coach Harris sent all players into the fray, thus giving them experience for future competition. The Indians next met the consistent playing of the Commerce Bull- dog. In the first half Lowell took a commanding lead when George Poulo scored on a penalty kick. This advan- tage didn't seem to last long, however, as Commerce tied the ball game in the second halt, and went on to become victorious as they scored again ten minutes before the end of the game. In their last league game the Cardinals played their worst game of the year, losing to the well-balanced Mission squad by a 6 to 0 score. The Bears were in control of the battle all the time, and the Lowell shin-kickers showed little resistance. As a preliminary to the Poly-Lowell football game on Thanksgiving morning, the two school's soccer teams played. The Indian at least received a moral victory, though playing to a 0 to O tie. However, Lowell had the upper-hand most of the time. ® Our shin-kickers might have had a better season if their captain, Paul Selchau, hadn't been out all season with an injury. In all league games Kaj Blomquist, Eric Bodenheimer, Tetsu Kinugasa, Tom Nelson, Bob Remensperger, and Guy Watson proved themselves valuable subs. The Indians are looking forward to next year!

The pentath'on consists of the following)eyénts: 100-yd_dash, |20-yd. low hurdles, 440-yd. run, broad jump, and high jump. The winners were, inthe |00-|b. division, Dick Warren; | 10-lb division, William Takai, first, and James Ida, second; for the 120-pounders, Stanford Rosenberg, first, Robert Sturte- vant, second place; |30-lb. class, Ernie Greenebaum, first, Frank Piombo second; in the unlimited division, Ed Rogers first, with Ben Silva in the runner-up position. The distance pentathlon was made up of the 220-yd. dash, 440-yd. dash, 880-yd. run, and the mile. The unlimiteds was the only weight division in this type of competition and Vazkin Tashin won with Ray Douglass occupying second place. There were two classes, A and B, in the six-day race. The winning Class A team was composed of Ernie Greene- baum, Richard Lansing, and Al Wyrsch. Stanley Charles, Alvin Harrison, and Dave Van Becker made up the victorious Class B team. ® Coach Harris has uncovered from this Fall's squad such ''backbone ' varsity men for '41 as: Jack Bresler, Ernie Greenebaum, and Ben Silva in the sprints; Don Freethy, Alexan- der Nichols, and Morton Roach in the 440; Gordon Daley, Ray Douglass, and Al Wyrsch in the 880; Bill De Martini, Lawrence Hawkinson, and V. Tashin in the one-mile run; Don Brush, John Corby, and Ed Rogers in the high hurdles; Don Brush and Jim Sheppard in the low hurdles; John Corby and Ed Rogers in the high jump; Ernie Greenebaum and Ben Silva in the broad jump; and Bob Ander- son, Joe Eckart, John Fonaas, and Bill Peterson in the weights. Whether these men can duplicate the feats of such men as Cantield and Hoffman, lost by graduation is a matter of conjecture. But if the championship can be possibly repeated, Coach Harris is the man to do it. 73 AMERICANS DIRECT THEIR SPORTS TO CARRY. ON FALL SPORTS, Patterson Allen was chosen athletic manager.

Mr. Kenneth Elder and Mr. Raymond Peterson of the Walter J. Mann Co., photo-engravers, Mr. Arthur Frediani and Mr. Wayne Dye of the Borden Printing Co., Inc., and Mr. and Mrs. John Doherty of the Fisher Studio, will probably never be able to realize the aid they have rendered. My deepest appreciation goes to Miss Harrison and Mrs. Miller for the use of their office files, and to Mr. Gallagher for the use of his typing room. Mr. Curts and Mr. Tucker have been the faithful watchdogs of our finances. To Walter A. Scott we are indebted for the assembled senior class picture. Our San Francisco newspapers, the Examiner, ''Chron- icle, ’ and ''Call-Bulletin'' have been most generous in lend- ing action pictures to enliven our sport section. To the enthusiastic student photographers who filled our snap- shot pages, Bill Lord, Don Welcome and especially Bill McDuffie, our staff photographer, we are most grateful. We could not have done without the experience of our faculty advisors, Mrs. Kuhnle, Miss Herrmann and Mr. eCard: The threes Red ando white” stafts, journalistic, art, and financial, have been invaluable in their painstaking ga ene to bring this book to a successful completion. It vw is to“these persons and to those inadvertently omitted, that the real success of this journal is due. May | again express my sincere thanks. DONALD BEANSTON, ¥ Editor. hy fy 24 pie.

CHARLES COHEN Valedictorian ROBERT HABER Historian As the graduating class of Fall 1941, we stand at the gateway of an unknown future. There has grad- ually appeared in our consciousness a dark and ominous shadow. Momentarily, it has defined itself as a challenge to our resourcefulness and courage. Henceforth, the main problem in our lives will be to help dispel these oppressing clouds; in this en- deavor we can not and will not fail. Turn back the pages of history. Throughout these past few years much has happened which will affect our lives. Across the Atlantic, a wild, insane, Aus- trian painter has splashed Europe red with blood. Recently his handiwork has spread across the Pacific, even to our own shores. It is now our heritage to aid in solving the problems which this present state of world affairs places before all democratic nations. In 1938, the year we enrolled as puzzled freshmen, war clouds were gathering in all parts of the world. However, people were not yet conscious of the threat of the Hitler war machine. In Great Britain, Prime Minister Chamberlain defended his foreign policy before the House of Commons, saying Germany must be taken in as a ‘‘partner’’ to insure Europe’s peace and progress. In France, the government went ahead with its three-year mobilization plan; and from Russia came almost absolute silence. Then the unexpected storm broke upon Europe with all the fury and destruction that only war can bring. Today it has enveloped the world. While these series of tragic events were taking place, we were going through the ranks of senior high school carelessly-conscious of world conditions. As Freshmen, our main task was to find our way around Lowell’s never-ending halls and, needless to say, looking up to those unapproachables—the High Seniors. As Sophomores, we were becoming gradu- ally accustomed to high school life. As Juniors we SE 0K H | hy were allowed to hold our first class election. Never to be forgotten will be our first class dance. Then came our Senior year. We were the school leaders. It was up to ws to set an example for the rest of the school. This proved to be our most glorious year. Lowell students excelled not only in scholastic fields, but in athletic fields as well. Our football team achieved a signal victory, in one season rising from the lowest to the highest position— thereby bringing to Lowell the coveted city cham- pionship, a thrilling cli max to our athletic season. During the distressing period which will immedi- ately confront us, thoughts of our high school days will drift back to us. Amidst these recollections we will recall unfathomable locker-room debates, class- room incidents, assemblies, court dances, looking for one’s name in editions of the Lowell, and counting how many times one’s picture appears in the Red and White. All these and countless more will surge back to us. Needless to say, the wise and indispensable guid- ance of our Principal, Mr. Stephens, together with that of the Faculty, has given to our high school lives a constructive and heart-warming, personal direction whose influence we shall feel throughout the years ahead of us. We, as graduates of Lowell High School and as individuals, cannot close our class history without an affirmation of ideals. We are keenly aware of our obligations and duties to our country. We, the youth of America, do accept the torch of human freedom that generations of resolute Ameri- cans have passed on to us. We will strive to keep alight that flame so that it may continue to emblazon upon the pages of World History the American principle of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Ringham, Moseley. LOW SENIORS “Smooth” is a one-word description of the Low Four Dance. ‘“‘Clever’’ is a one- word description of the dance committee who chose “Chattanooga Choo Choo’ fo: their dance theme. ‘Leaders’ is the most adequate word for the officers, President Dan Miller, Vice-President Willamay Wissing, and Secretary Charles Cooke. In this class many of the goals, set when they were freshmen, are now being reached. On the Scroll were Charles Cooke, Norman Tierney, Steve Dotur, Joe Eckart, Bob Kesler, Frank Wigmore, Bud Martin, Dave Williams, Bob Knox, John Harvey, Connie Glafkides, and Sidney Brown. Elected to the Shield were Anne Wigle, Ruth Schwed- helm, Willamay Wissing, June Sutton, Connie Wilson, Janet Rico, Rita Wieland, aad Philis Ludlum. The Dramatic stars were Janet Rico, Frank Davis, Jeanette Bravinder, and Veronica Alves. In Debating were Bud Martin, John Harvey, and Shirley McRae. Working on the Red and White staff were Mary Jean Crenshaw, Frank Cronan, Otis Gravem, Bob Knox, Leslie Galvan, Louis Leithold, Gloria Nichols, June Sutton, financial manager; Claire Weinhold, and Eleanor Moseley. Editor of the Lowell was Mary Fletcher, aided by Barbara Gale, Bette Hinden, Frank Piombo, and Ed McArthur. Singing in the Triple Trio were Ruby Aaron, Lucille Phipps, Dolores Parodi, Beverly Whitchurch, and Elaine Thibodeau. In the Boys’ Glee sang John Mortarity and Jim O'Donnell. DANIEL MILL ER President i i | ) 7 . 7 vn ) v re going to make this term the biggest in high junior history!” So vowed H3 AAS M My President Bert Burns, as he and his newly-elected assistants, Jackie Kenfield, vice president, nal Ny J and Corinne Clayton, secretary, began making plans for a season chockful of activities. In , A yw a week’s timq, popular students Bob Busse, Art Hoppe, Henry Nelson, Allan Feder, Joan 12 N peat ckie Wise, and Sandy Johnston were elected to the dance committee, and UL) wt ake ve were taking visual shape for the social event of the season, the H3 dance. ‘ah -afternoon, November 7: Class members enter an auditorium, converted for a few Nes t least, into a native Hawaiian hut. There are green cocoanut palms on the stage, Wwe yqu can almost catch the odor of bananas and poi. Boys and girls dance dreamily to sic of a surprise orchestra, ‘Phil O’Neill and His Music Ideal.’’ The throng roars ance committee members render, atmospherically, “Hawaiian Holiday,” and two de- ectable native girls (Al Feder and Art Hoppe) in hula skirts and flower leis do a hip- swinging, tantalizing hula. Undisputed fact of the afternoon: the high juniors had con- cocted the most original dance of the term. An active class, high juniors are interested in almost every phase of Lowell life. It has its share of club members, thespians, debaters, journalists, gridiron stars, crew men, sports enthusiasts of all kinds. Lowell, proud of these boys and girls, proud of their efforts and enthusiasm, feels sure that their determination will make 1942 a great senior year. ig — CORINNE CLAYTON ee ee JACQUELINE KENFIELD_ HIGH THREE DANCE COMMITTEE Secreta ° a Vice President pS-fen =r Top row: Caravellas, Hoppe, Busse, Wise, Johnston. pL a , = 7 ai “= ¢e = Bottom row: Feder, Clayton, Burns, Kenfield, Nelson. aaty i 4 wm vy riot ¢ tt ef a, HIGH THREE ROOM REPRESENTATIVES if V VY At Nw i : 4 rs Top row: Hoppel, Burns, Kerrigan, Baltor, Kido.

LOW JUNIORS Lowell's ancient auditorium has seen many strange decorations, but it took the new upper classmen to whip up the skull-cracking idea of using auto posters, stop-go signs, Burma Shave poetry, and a rattle trap Ford as the theme for their October 24 dance, “Jalopy Jig.” “Guiding lights” of the dance were officers Bob Eddy, president; Barbara Leonard, —— vice-president; Naomi Hewlett, secretary; Mr. M. Peterson, counselor; and eight hard- working members of the da nce committee. Writing for the “Red and White” were Ila Sullivan, Pat Minaker, and Doris Thomp- son. The art staff had Betty Calvert, Dorothy Lazenby, Sara Tsuruoka, Nan McMillan, and Violet Vincent. Reporters for the ‘Lowell’ were Dick Rosenthal and Sol Silverman. Especially active in sports, low junior boys were well represented on the gridiron with Bob Buchanan, Ken McLennen, Herb Fulda, Hank Morris, Ed Pittson, Stan DeForde, Harry Rahlmann, Charlie Mornard, and Ken Larkins. Soccer, track, and basketball also had many participants from this class. Good athletes, too, many Low 3 girls went out for after-school sports. Shirley Fried- erichs and Inga Milling manage tennis and golf, respectively. Thirty-three low juniors are active members of the C.S.F., and many more are on the library and office staffs.

L 0 W fg To banish bewilderment and uncertainty from the perplexed minds of Lowell’s three hundred and ninety-one newcomers—that was Number One job on the social calendar of Lowell’s honor societies. This term the Shield and “L”’ and Scroll and “L’’ launched one of the most brilliant newcomers’ receptions ever to be witnessed at Lowell, and formally welcomed freshmen and sophomores from the various junior highs, public, private, and parochial schools into the many activities of the Indians. Main features of the reception were ‘The Minstrel Show;” “An Army Physical Examination” skit; a radio broadcast presenting the most famous plays of all time featur- ing Irene Itch; “The Coach’s Pep Talk;’’ and a scene entitled, “Happy Though Drafted.” Refreshments were served and a dance was held in the girls’ gymnasium after the reception. Basketball claimed the greatest number of lower classmen this term, and many are proving themselves to be desirable prospects. Some of the most outstanding players on the 120’s team were, Bill Akard, Henry Hidekawa, Harry Kolsch, Dean Mason, Harold Ong, and Yoshio Takakuwa, and from the 110’s Seija Aizawa, Bill Epstein, Roger Fanfelle, Yoshio Fujita, John Gonzales, Merel Moore, Dick Mulready, George Hines, Loren Hart- man, and Robert Ray.

Abo ve, center, top row; FRESHMAN ROOM REPRESENTATIVES Above, left: CLASSMEN With a brilliant display of interest and enthusiasm toward school activities, several newcomers have joined the ranks of loyal Lowellites by conscientiously working for the betterment of the school. Only club president among the lower classmen this term was the president of the Tri-Y Society, Delta Peterson. Other lower classmen who displayed their enthusiasm for Lowell's activities were: Joan Levy and Jean Smith, “Red and White”’ art staff; Ray Anson, Janice Beanston, Billie Ruth Blaney, Rita Cox, Jean Farrell, Eleanor Freed, Barbara Geddes, Betty Lou Hale, Norma Jean Howell, Mary Ellen James, Phyllis Johnson, Noel McKenna, Barbara McGahie, Pat Meier, Gloria Motzer, Rafael Piscitelli, Claire Poor, Margaret Redmond, Ed Sutherland, Colin Tooley, Margery Weiss, Peggy Williams, library staff; Clarence Rubenstein, debating; Bill Lau, Herbert Fulda, Albert Dean, Boys’ Glee. The goof football team made up entirely of lower classmen, under the direction of Mr. Lighty, had one of the biggest and best turnouts for football this term. Much credit is also due to the freshmen and sophomore registry teachers and coun- selors whose untiring efforts have, no doubt, inspired their students to maintain the morale of Lowell, and have helped them to adequately prepare themselves so that they may carry on the duties of the school life successfully. “ Princess”’ Maher, Henderson, Mayer, Dunn, Sonnenberg, Simmons.

Proof that this is a false impression: Lowell’s one hundred and forty-six California Scholarship Federation members. None has a grade point average of less than ten C.S.F. honor points; yet they are able to star in school athletics, hold student body offices, give coaching assistance to other students, receive outstanding oratory awards at the semi-annual C.S.F. convention held at George Washington High School this term, belong to school clubs, work on various periodicals, assist in the school library, give dinner dances at public hotels, and still present one of the most colorful and eventful dances of the term for their members. Geniuses ? No—yjust a glorified picture of the average American high school student whose main ambition is to have a good time without jeopardizing his scholastic records. A “Carnival Dance,” gay, exciting theme of their annual fall classic, ended the school whirl for these fun-loving, scholarly Lowellites and drew this term's activities to a close. Chieftain and ardent supporter of the Indians’ scholastic society this term was Vera Kreekis, ably assisted by Naomi Hewlett, vice-president, and Barbara McIntyre, secretary- treasurer. All were under the direction of Mr. S. W. Moore, and Mr. L. B. Barnes, faculty advisors.

Previous journal editors, sixty-seven of them, have striven toward the same goal. Sixty-seven pre- vious editors have worried about division pages, placement of pictures, ee forceful copy, and possible themes. Sixty-seven previous editors fervently prayed that the students would like the book. So does the sixty-eighth. “A Day at Lowell’ was chosen as the theme. Each page was done with the idea to keep alive Lowell memories. The long hours of cramming for exams, the rallies filled with Lowell spirit, the tense excitement of football games, and the strains of popular orchestrations during those coveted court dances were all expressed candidly and journalistically in the pages of the book. Candid camera shots were stressed. A photo- graphic staff was organized with a director and five photographers who used every opportunity to take snaps of Lowellites at work and play. Shots of debaters, thespians, football players and spectators were shown Lester Clarke Maxwell James Louis Schmidt Gary Weinhold Bette Calvert Martin Kalvelage Muriel Miller Violet Vincent Frank Antoine Calbert Atkins Iris Brown Mary Emerson Dolores Fleishman Bill Gaines Joan Levy Nan MacMillan Geraldine Marre Don Sparrowe Sara Tsuruoka Anna Valenko STATE ES to “Senior Memories.” Student ” 5% in a¢tipn.

The forms and metal are cold. The last “Lowell” has been ‘‘put to bed,” the newshawks relax. Six editions of the paper have rolled off the presses this term, presenting school news accurately and originally. While the ‘Lowell’ staff wrote news, history was made: There was the “Cub” edition—when Journalism I classes told Lowell what to expect of its future scribes. There were the “Victory’’ and six-page “Senior’’ editions—when the Magic Eye camera produced two complete picture pages. Behind each successful edition lay the advice and assistance of Mr. J. W. Patterson and Mr. Albert McKeever, supplementing the com- bined efforts of Editor Mary Fletcher, Managing Editor Joan Simon and nineteen staff members. Capt. Campbell Capt. Culpepper Lt. Col.

When Lowell’s dramatic guiding-star, Mr. Samuel K. Polland, directs his efforts dra- matically, to produce the semi-annual thespian effort, “superlative” is the word. This term was no exception. With comedy as its motif, ‘The Christmas Varieties” this year was melage of drama. music, and song in twenty acts. “Little Birds in Their Nest’’ presented Lowell's satire on the “going-home-to-mother”’ theme. “Hang It’ described the difficulties of hanging uncle’s picture. ‘Speed Up’ — ‘An Exercise in Brevity,’ they titled it on the program—was a one-word drama that satirized the male gold-digger. “The Cure’ featured John Harvey taking several, all very ineffective. “When the Great Big World Stops Turning’’ was a neat little travesty on the potentialities of modern science.

One husband and the morning paper, eating breakfast with the wife, | and there you have “Breakfast Time,” in three rounds, refereed by butler Jim Oliver. The married couple forgot their gloves, missed the clinches, but it was a draw. The most naturally witty piece of the night was ‘‘An Advertisement Drama,” narrated by John Harvey with the aid of Welch's Grape Juice and an Ingersoll watch. The play was there on the stage—one could see that. Unseen, but just as vital to the T perfection of the performance as the lines spoken on the stage, were the many hours spent by orchestra, art staff, and staging committees. The Varieties were a success; that was the important point. “DEBATING. 5 SOCIETY EAAC tee WHAT Seve, “WORK, WAIT. GON!

The official debating season opened October 31 with a practice debate against Modesto High. The San Francisco Public Day High School League took place November 5. Lowell’s clockwise schedule included Poly, Girls’ High, Washington, and Lincoln. The Indians’ Charles Cohen and Caroline Nahman won a 3-to-0 decision over Poly. Cohen won first speakership and Nahman took second. Second practice debate of the term was held against the California Frosh debating team November 12. Practice debates are no-decision meetings.

Coach George Lorbeer’s next objective was the Pacific High School Forensic Cham- pionship meet on Friday, December 5, at San Francisco State College. Lowell High won the sweepstakes trophy for having the most points. Clarence Rubenstein took second place in radio announcing and extempore. Charles Cohen won Boys’ oratory and Doris Krutmeyer tied for third in the Women’s oratory. Rubenstein and Jack Goldberg took first place by winning seven debates, w hile Mildred Kiefer-Joe Echart and Norman Kramer-Dave Teitellbaum tied for second by winning six and losing only one. In the midst of this crowded calendar of events the Debating Society finds time each year to give Constitution Day and Armistice Day programs for the student body.

Some of the girls sing better than others. They, nine of them, comprise the Triple Trio. Sopranos are Shirley Button, Shirley Burke, Mattie Jean Gould; second sopranos are Ruby Aaron, Lucille Phipps, Beverly Whitchurch; altos are Dolores Parodi, Margaret Lelbach, and Joan Ireland who is also president of the club. Two of the hardest workers in the club are pianists Florence Morrison and Grace Hannon, both of whom feverishly read notes to keep up with the singing girls. Activities of the club this term included singing of the Triple Trio at the Varieties, club singing before the P.T.A. and participation in a nearby church program. An original patriotic song, written by two San Francisco teachers, was presented to the club. Mr. Charles Walsh, Lowell, wrote the lyrics and Mr. C, G. Ingram, Mission, wrote the music. : i Fe “ we ae 2; £5 ang = | : 4 )| Albert Dean Herbert Fulda we |} William Lau Florence Morrison Dolores Parodi Lucille Phipps Beverly Whitchurch Joan Ireland, Pres, _ p’ GIRLS’ ADVANCED GLEE = BOYS’ ADVANCED GLEE Top row, centays Howell, Ressel, Hodgson, Lelbach, Goldberg, LeBuanic, Coulam, Top row, below: Orsi, Hill, Dean, Busalacchi, Rizanu Galen , Greenberg, Borst.

Guided by this philosophy, the Boys’ Glee Club selected their songs from a group ranging from early folk songs to modern melodies. Each day at twelve o'clock, the Glee ) Club begins a period of relaxation and song. At the beginning of the period, under the direction of their experienced leader, Miss J. Neppert, the boys warm up with a few vocal exercises before going on to the songs. Some of the well-known tunes sung this term were: “Passing By,” “Santa Lucia,” ‘‘Short’nin’ Bread,” “Love’s Old Sweet Song,’”’ and several Christmas carols. The entire Glee Club is planning to make some records of these songs later in the year. We will probably hear | them sing at graduation again. In the double quartet were: Tenors, Bill Lau, John McHugh; second tenors, Jack Stoll, Al Dean; baritones, Charles Blake, Herb Fulda, and basses, Jim O’Connell and Merl Moore. 0 AON: iO samc: DANCE ORCHESTRA CONCERT ORCHESTRA Top row, above: Vail, Schussel, Jensen, Haber, Sodes- Top row, center; Brash, C.

An expectant hush comes over the audience as the first strains of the overture by the Lowell Concert Orchestra fills the auditorium, heralding the approach of the glad Yuletide season, and with it the “Christmas Varieties,” for which this talented group supplied all the music. Special musical selections were given by the String Quartet, Eiko Yoshizato, Ruth Gumbrecht, Dorothy Surtees, and Eleanor Hesselberg. Under the baton of Concert Mistress Eiko Yoshizato, the orchestra also gave bril- liant performances for the P.-T.A. Fathers’ Night Reception, and various other concerts during the term, closing their season by playing at the commencement exercises. The fifty members of the band played and performed stunts on the gridiron during the half-times of many Lowell games this term, pepping up the spirit of both team and rooters. They also played in the city-wide Preparedness and Armistice Day parades. 1.

LOWELL 6—COMMERCE 7 Nothing went right for the Indians on September 25, but that didn’t stop them from trying until the final gun went off. Scoring on a pass shortly before the first half ended, Sheridan to Orsi, it looked as if Lowell had really found the magic of the ‘‘T.” But the Bulldogs came back in the second half, an inspired team, and staged a smashing drive which finished with Prevazich going over to score from the one. The all-important try for point was made by Blake, who had previously blocked Lowell’s conversion.

LOWELL 8—SACRED HEART 7 Cold and fog-bedraggled fans saw a clearly superior Indian team come woe- fully close to defeat at the hands of Sacred Heart. Every time the Cards’ attack got under way and they got within scoring distance something happened to fizzle it. The Irish didn’t show much push at all, and due to sloppy ballhandling on their part and alertness on the part of the left side of our line, we came out of the first half with a safety to our credit.

LOWELL 13—MISSION 0 The Cards won this one easily and im- pressively. The Indians scored two touch- downs in the first half, one on passes by Sheridan, and the other on the longest sustained drive this season—92 yards, Orsi accounting for most of it.

LOWELL 7—BALBOA 0 After settling absolutely nothing for three-quarters in the mud and slush of Kezar Stadium, Lowell reverted to prayer passes late in the second half. Sheridan let one loose in the direction of Wigmore, but Pallas, Balboa backfield man, jumped high, tipping the ball straight into the air. Orsi, who had been trailing the play, shot for- ward and grabbed the ball for 13 yards and a touchdown. Sheridan kicked the extra point midst the din of the Lowell cheering section. Special Praise Department—The entire Lowell line for holding those powerful Bucs; Paul Orsi for being right on the job; and Charlie Cooke for that swell team spirit. LOWELL 20—ST. IGNATIUS 0 The Indians just had too much for the Wildcats in a game highlighted by spec- tacular breakaway runs, and a small inter- school riot. Orsi’s 89 yard punt return scored one touchdown; Sheridan’s 64 yard sprint set up another; and with the help of a pass interception by Buchanan, a third one was made.

The powerful Poly line valiantly held the Indians throughout the first half, Lowell having twelve scoring chances from within the ten-yard line. Then, after fighting to a standstill during the third quarter, Gardner let lose with a 73-yard punt. The tide of battle turned. Using trickery, Orsi, usually a runner, passed to Sheridan for a 23-yard gain. Reversing the play, Sheridan to Orsi, made 14 and a first down on the ten. After an in- Irwin, Simmons, and Glafkides move in on the kill during the Washington game. complete forward pass, Sheridan took the ball from the center, faked to Orsi and, with some neat block- ing on the part of co-Captain Cooke, passed one to Captain Frank Wigmore, who after cutting in back of two P oly defenders, met the ball perfectly.

Bottom row: Moore, Rush, Bacigalupi, Nave, Schallich, Goldberg, Lowell has many activities—one is Goof football. For years our lightweight teams have been ignored by the majority of the student body, but not in 1941. Tough breaks and technicalities were responsible for the scoreless deadlock between our team and the Bucs from Balboa. An exciting moment occurred in the second quarter when King passed to Moore, who then lateraled to Vayssie, who reached pay dirt. The play was nullified because the supposed lateral was, in reality, a forward pass. In the game with St. Ignatius the Lowell eleven had two outstanding thrills. The first was Lowell’s recovery of a fumble on the Wildcats’ ten-yard line, from which Bandarrae went over on a reverse. The second was King’s pass to Moore for a touchdown. The score was 12 to 12 with only 40 seconds to go. S. I. had possession of the ball in Lowell territory. They tossed a pass which was completed and the final score was 12 to 19 in the Wildcats’ favor. The Goofs went to the Beach Chalet to meet the Lincoln Mustangs in a round-up. This game was Lowell’s first taste of victory, but Lincoln gave the Goofs plenty to worry about. In the first quarter the Mustangs drove 55 yards to the Card three. Gill, Berrman, Nelson, Paulke. Lowell then tightened, yielded two yards on four plays, and stopped the Mustangs’ charge. Quandt snatched a Lincoln pass on their forty and reached the thirty before being grounded. Moore, on an end run, scampered 27 yards. The touchdown play was a run around right end by King. The score at the gun was 6 to 0. AX aed it ‘e a tv v The Goofs scored their second victory when they® trounced Sacred Heart, 7 to 0. The game proved to be very even, with occasional wide-open attacks by both participants. Commerce and Galileo both handed the Goofs the short end of the scores, 6 to 0 and 20 to 7. The Poly-Lowell game was the Goofs’ last and most exciting. It was in the fourth quarter that the Indian axe took its chunk out of the Poly Parrot. A pass from Moore on Poly’s thirty-five to Conn gained twenty yards. On the next play Moore ran wide around the end and fought his way to the three- yard line. No gain was made in three plays. Moore dived over center for six points. With two minutes) x to go, Poly threw a pass which Quandt intercepted on the fifty and ran to another score.

Opening their season inauspicious- ly by being defeated by the Wildcats, our basketeers recovered and smashed all other opponents. The fighting first string was Proulx and Hidekawa, forwards; Kolsch, center; and Fukui and Takakuwa, guards. The practice season ended with Lowell's “Little Cards’’ victorious over South San Francisco, Sequoia, Palo Alto, but defeated by St. James, 26 to 24. In the first league game the “Little In- dians” lost to the St. Ignatius Wildcats, 13 to 12. “Doctor” Neff came forward with a remedy and the “‘Big-Little Pa- pooses”’ tamed the Lioncubs and Mustangs, 30 to 18 and 31 to 15, respectively. This was the fourth straight year that both squads have beaten the Galileo Lions. Next victim of the Cards was the Buc- caneers who, though they fought hard, lost, 24 to 19. The Sacred Heart shamrock wilted when the ‘‘Neffmen’’ won, 53 to 19. In the following two games against Commerce Bullpups and the Mission Bears the “Big-Little Cards’? were victorious, 27 to 17, and 28 to 22. The Poly Parrot squawked, fought, and lost by one point, 22 to 21. The Indians then defeated the Eagles and ended their season with an 18 to 11 victory.

That was a long time ago, before blackouts. As far as we can remember, the “Indians,” for that was their nickname, were not excel- lent, but pretty fair at this game. A league was in process, and they entered upon a seven- game schedule. They lost a close tilt to Mission High, 1 to 0, and another to Washington. But they won an impressive game from Balboa, 4 to 0. The rest were ties. Not a championship team, but composed of Stan Charles as an outstanding goalie, George Pau lo as center-half, Phil Arnot and John Hardgraves at forward, and Ernie Nackord and Nelson at halfs, the team was colorful. And thanks to the training and coaching of Mr. Elmer Harris, not a single member was injured. pa as i UNDG aN i 4 FALL TRACK Top row: Gilman, Argall, Sieroty, Burrell, Bruck, Ganz, Giles, Schonmaker, Robins, Hawley, Broadhead, Burdick, San Felipe.

Under the admonition of their grey-tinged, knowing-eyed tutor, Coach Elmer Harris, they ‘jogged it’’ up to the U.S.F. field to embark on daily athletic programs. The men formed “‘Six- Day Race Teams,’ divided into three divisions, A, B, and C. In Class A, Evans, Chalios, and O'Donnell took first place; in Class B, Sturtevant, Noguchi, and Cowell carried away all the honors, and in Class C, Schoonmaker, Broadhead, and Hawley departed with what was left. The unlimited division was won by Sheppard and Arnot. The 130 lbs. was won in the fifth periods by Sweeney, and in the fourth periods by Waugh. Best 100-yard man was Jack Bresler, who did this strip in 10.4, and the half-mile was won by Mel Evans; time, 2:14. In the low hurdles and 440, Jim Sheppard, one of Lowell’s best track men, was the victor. O'Donnell won the mile, while Rogers proved to be Lowell's best high jumper. Rankin, one of the best broad jumpers in the city, took the broad jump title with 21 ft. 7 in. MOLLY MAE SHEPARD GIRES?

They are Lowell’s unsung heroes, whether they manage football or chess. They are the inspiration to the teams, the custodians of equipment, the assistant coaches. Managers are important factors in victory or defeat, as their responsibility is a vital one. Each manager is carefully selected to handle such tasks. The head manager this term is Ken Berven. The other managers are: for football, Frank and O’Connell; goof football, Daley and Padway; basketball, Berven, Cohen, Mona- han, Tanabe, Clifford and Colin Tooley; fall track; Sweeney; crew, Peterson and Mar- shall; tennis, Chichester; soccer, Grant. Coaches for this term were: football, Mr. M. Voyne, assisted by Mr. W. Feiling; basketball, Mr. B. Neff; track and soccer, Mr. E. Harris; goof football, tennis and crew, Mr. S. Lighty. Girls, too, have been kept busy this term with sports under the direction of Miss R. Adams, with hockey, swimming and tennis; Miss J. Wilson, riding; Mrs. L. B. Smith, ice skating; Miss L.

Handling the largest G.A.A. turnout of any school in the city, Lowell’s instructing staff untiringly and generously devoted their time before and after school to lead the girls in the program offered. Bowling, presented for the first time in any American high school, was led by Margaret Lelbach and filled to capacity. Another popular new sport was bicycling under the student management of Ursula Wolff. The second term of dancing was successfully managed by Virginia Head. Lowell traditions are the eight remaining sports which have been played here term after term. They are: riding, Betty Robanser; ice skating, Elinor Mensch; hockey, Wanda McKenzie; badminton, Garet Markarian; tennis, Shirley Friederichs; golf, Inga Milling; swimming, Jean Hodgkinson; volleyball, Marjorie Erickson. The enthusiasm of the girls, along with the experienced leadership of faculty advisors Miss Wilson, Miss Flynn, Miss Adams, Mrs. Smith, and Miss Boehm, made the term one of Lowell’s best. ‘+ ICE SKATING I Top row: Agsser, Vallejo, Swonk, Warner, Richter, Clausen, White, McGrath, Finn, Low.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT .« In attaining the goal of publication of this, the Fall 1941, Red and .o White, I pause to think back on months of hard but interesting work; and cannot help but recall the many pleasant associations with the people who have aided us immeasurably in this task. With- - out their sympathetic assistance, the job could never have been done. I can scarcely express my sincere thanks and deep appreciation . . . To the Literary, Art, and Financial Staffs who patiently performed the routine tasks. To Mr. Albert McKeever, Mr. James Patterson, Miss F. L. Herr- + mannand Mr. O.H. McCord for their patient and understand- ing advice and cooperation. To Mr. Stephens, Miss Lacoste, and Mr. Monroe, whose interest and advice prepared us for our work. To Mr. Kenneth Elder and Mr. Raymond Peterson of the Walter J. Mann Co., photo-engravers, for their fine reproduction of our r photographs. To Mr. Howard Watson and Mr. John Tappendorff of the Lexicon Press for their interest in our work and fine job of printing. To Mr. and Mrs. John Doherty of the Fisher Studios for maintain- ing their fine standard in portrait photography. _ To Miss Harrison for her generous use of the office files. To the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, and the San Francisco Call-Bulletin for their kind-hearted cooperation in the lending of certain football pictures.
