P, ,. F fi i AZ ' ' M76 Www wage! The Reservation on Hayes Street!! Within these walls there is a tradition that has existed for many years - the mistakes that new members to our tribe make. Without these mistakes a colorful part of our school life would be missing. We chuckle as new Indians every year ask how they can get up to the swimming pool. Or when we hear one ask, which way to the elevator? One of these bits of tradition is a bit grip- ing - when we are bowled over on the stairs by a new Indian who has not yet gotten used to our wonderful stair plan. Life on this happy hunting-ground runs in cycles. Every six months we lose some braves. Every six months new faces take their places. When we first arrived at this old pile of bricks we were wide eyed at high school life. We had arrived! We were going to be HIGH school students! ln our second year our ego had been con- siderably deflated. There were days during our sophomore year when we dreamed of blowing up the Brick Pile! T' 1 'l When our third year came around we began to get hep to the scope of things. A few classes cut, sunny meetings at China , the get-togethers in the Chief , and a real inter- est in the rallies and dances. Then at long last we have achieved our four- year-old ambition, the four years of study and fond memory. We graduate! lt's a wonderful feeling - leaving at last, but, then, after the Big Prom, we return to the crumbling front stairs of the red monster and sing the hymn! Why? - Tradition. lt has been here so long that we enter into and become a part of it without even knowing it Think of our rallies in the outdoor theatre where we pull up a chair and sit on the floor, or the Block L boys running the axe down the stairs. All that is Tradition. Within these covers is a picture of that Tradition that has made Lowell, Lowell. Z?
