THE KNOLL Soph omore ci ass President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Claire Cosgrove Ruth Mitchell Ruth McGarry Anna Rynne It has been fun to be along with you, Seniors. History in so far as we are concerned began with the advent of man. We are men, therefore, history began with us. On an ominous, dark day in September 1933 we, the most intelligent group of freshmen ever to enter Lowell Teachers College with all the wisdom of countless generations behind us, fearlessly knocked on the portals of that great institution. The fact that President Weed, not recognizing our importance, did not hasten to open the door personally, was not sufficient to lessen our optimism and self-confidence. We opened the doors ourselves and walked in. It has been impossible to close them against us since that memorable day. We quickly organized, deciding to hitch our respective fellow students to four stars. Therefore we elected Claire Cosgrove, president; Betty Stowell, vice-presi- dent; Ruth Kidder, secretary; Nellie Senften, treasurer. The latter successfully

L. T. C. 19 3 5 Theatre and dinner parties have been regular fun features through the three years. Our junior theatre party at the Rendezvous proved one of the most memor- able occasions of all, with the blizzard of a century thrown in for good measure. Marooned in Lowell, on buses, in trains, or getting to Boston only to spend hours in the North Station, were adventures worthy of telling and retelling. In many ways our junior year has been the best and busiest of all. At least one weekly event has been enjoyed for the last semester and the climax will be reached in the Prom, banquet, and other Junior Week activities the first week in June. Various money-making ventures have been undertaken with zest. The sale of school seals, stationery, pendants and bracelets have all been sponsored with great success. With Mr. Hiscoe at the helm, we look forward to what cannot help being the grandest year of all — our last.

L. T. C. 19 3 5 iked the hor honked the horn and led us during our freshman year, while we did the back seat driving. As freshies we led a gay year with theatre parties, a week-end party at Hampton Beach, picnic at Long Pond, and other interesting events. In our Easter egg-rolling contest imperishable honors were won by Mary Cronin and Barbara Thompson. We selected Miss A. Florence Kirby, as honorary member, to guide and direct us through the coming years and introduced our new advisor at a Christmas dancing party held in a yuletide setting at Lowell Teachers College ballroom. Our sophomore officers, with the loyal support of the class, put forth every effort to add to our glory and fame. We trust that there has been a deeper significance added to the word sophomore and that glory and prestige have been ours. We continued our frivolity with a theatre party, a costume party, a sojourn at Hampton Beach was held and to cap the climax a sophomore banquet was held with Mr. and Mrs. Weed, Miss A. Florence Kirby and Miss Grace Kendricks as guests of honor. We took this occasion to honor our president and Mrs. Weed and sang for the first time our Sophomore Hymn which was dedicated to him. Our history will grow upon our return in September for the Junior year at L.T.C. Sophomore Class Directory Alice Ackhoyd Thelma Annis .
