San Francisco has rneant much to Miss Eugenie Lacoste. She was born in the Mission district when it consisted of country homesw-the lot on which her home was built comprised 15 acres! She is a graduate of Girls' High School. and of the Univer- sity of California where she specialized in Creek. Latin. Modern Languages, and Botany. Miss Lacoste never intended to be a teacher-she had planned to do graduate work in archaeology. However. when offered a teaching position at Mis- sion High by Mr. Clark. the principal. she accepted. and thus began a career that continued until April l. 1946. when she retired. Wlien Mr. Clark was appointed principal of Lowell he asked Miss Lacoste to come with him. She didn't want to. The Mission district was her 8 homeg Mission High was her school. She loved her work. During World War 1 some 600 Mission stu- dents, under her guidance. had knitted sweaters for the boys in the service. Finally she agreed to come. ln the Fall of 1919 young Miss Lacoste came to Lowell to teach history. In 1926 she became the Vice-Principal tshe had pre- viously served as Dean of Girls in 1923 and 19241. Widely traveled in both Europe and the Orient. Miss Lacoste speaks French fluently. having learned it as a child. When Lowell was smaller the entire student body was able to meet in the auditoriumg Miss Lacoste was the guiding spirit in promoting student govern- ment. She promoted all student activ'ities-pag- eants. court plantings. parties for parents and stu- dents. acted as adviser of The Lowell and encouraged many other activities that made Lowell Lowell. To the gracious lady who served our school for twenty-eight years---to Miss Eugenie Lacoste. whose motto was. Be sure that all one does in school has an educational value -we respectfully dedicate the June 19447 Red and White.
