i U ECQQALLED SPIRIT Lowellites have always taken pride in their school spirit. It is a tradition that goes back 100 years. This unequalled spirit has been displayed on the athletic Held, in the stands while supporting either a winning or a losing team, and in every phase of school activity. Perhaps the truest indication of real school spirit is the continued interest and support given to the school by mem- bers of the alumni, and the fact that undergraduates and alumni alike are proud to have their names associated with Lowell High School.

As a result, during the past 10 years, 53 per cent of the students going to U.C. from the San Francisco public schools are from this school, During the same period Lowell has accounted for 75 per cent of the students accepted from San Francisco by Stanford Uni- versity.

Each year at Christmas, the two service societies, the Shield and LH and the Scroll and Ll' sponsor this drive. In the true Christmas spirit, all of the students donate gifts which are distributed to various hospitals and agencies. This year, the student body responded to the slogan Bring Happiness to Othersn by contributing over 3,500 gifts-surpassing the donation of any one of the previous years. This year the gifts were distrib- uted to the Sunshine School, the Langley Porter Clinic, the St. Francis Day Home, and the Sonoma State Hospital. 5 r fl
