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

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.

FRIE DLINESS TO OTHERS Members of the Scroll doing the traditional Spring Dance are Al Katsuyama, Bob Minney, Guy Erb, Tom Caylor, john Debenham, A1 Clark, and jim Nolan. A sincere effort is made each semester to extend a feeling of friendli- ness to all newcomers to Lowell. The Big Brothers and Big Sisters are on hand at the start of the term to give an individual welcome to every new Lowellite. The Newcomers' Reception is the general student body's salute of welcome to students that are new to Lowell. A tradition that has grown out ofithis latter event is the Spring Dance put on by the Scroll boys. Many of San Francisco's most famous doctors, lawyers, and busi- nessmen can recall their participation in this dance 10, 20, or even 30 years ago.
