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. JUNE NAKAYAMA, Class Historian. a
