llTH  the  birth  of  Treasure  Island  and  The 
Golden  Gate  International  Exposition  on  San 
Francisco  Bay,  a  magical  city  has  been  cre- 
ated for  all  the  world  to  see  and  adnnire.  As 
loyal  San  Franciscans  we  are  portraying  the 
Exposition  in  this  "Red  and  White,"  which 
we  have  garbed  in  its  official  blue  and  gold 
colors.  Grateful  that  we  have  been  privi- 
leged to  receive  many  hours  of  extra-cur- 
ricular instruction  on  tKisy|wonderful  island, 
we  hope  that  the^apLlJPnturs  spent  will  be 

reimpressed/jpWrour  ni^mories  as  we 
turn  tljg'^aves  of  this  book.

Poet,  essayist,  humorist,  editor,  teacher,  scholar,  diplomat,  orator, 

and  greatest  of  all,  patriot 

JAMES      RUSSELL      LOWELL 

whose  bust  stands  at  the  main  entrance  of  our  school,  watches  over  the  destiny  of 

passing  students.   Lowell  High  School,  rich  in  academic  tradition,  is  proud 

of  the  heritage  of  name  which  is  hers.

UD  AND  WATER,  capital  and  labor,  blue  prints  and 
shovels  alone  could  not  have  created  our  Exposition.    The 
dream  and  realization  of  Treasure  Island  embody  the  en- 
thusiasm and  leadership  of  a  man  whose  vision  and  hard 
work  Inspired  his  fellowmen  to  the  very  highest  degree  of 
co-operation — Mr.   Leiand   W.  Cutler,   upon   whom 
the  title   "Father  of  the   Exposition"   may  well 
be  bestowed.    In  pride  and  deep  gratitude 
we  dedicate  this,  our  sixty-third  volume 
of  the   "Red  and  White"  to  this 
great  San  Franciscan.

Our  beloved   principal.  Mr.   Leroy  H.  Stephens,  never  too  busy  ^t  his  desk

HE  YEAR  finds  Lowell  with  the  largest  enrollment  in  its  history.  The  school 
has  won  its  full  share  of  honors  in  sports,  in  dramatics,  in  debating  and  ora- 
tory. The  honor  roll  of  students  who  have  qualified  for  membership  in  the 
California  Scholarship  Federation  attests  to  its  scholarship.  Increasing  num- 
bers have  brought  added  obligations  and  greater  responsibilities,  which  both 
faculty  and  students  have  met  with  admirable  success. 

Numbers,  however,  do  not  make  a  school.  A  school  is  made  by  the  spirit 
that  has  grown  with  the  years  and  gives  meaning  and  significance  to  the 
work  that  goes  on  day  after  day  within  its  walls.  It  is  the  spirit  of  the  school, 
resulting  from  co-operation,  from  friendliness,  from  unselfish  regard  for 
others.  It  is  the  spirit  that  makes  Lowell,  the  first  school  in  California,  also 
the  friendliest. 

Mr.  A.  J.  Cloud,  President  of  the  San  Francisco  Junior  College,  when  a 
teacher  in  Lowell  gave  an  interpretation  to  our  name  which  describes  so 
well  the  Lowell  Spirit  that  I  quote  it  here: 

"L"    is  for  Loyalty,  no  place  for  traitors. 

"O"    is  for  Opportunity,  open  to  everyone. 

"W"   is  for  Work,  no  tolerance  of  idlers. 

"E"    is  for  Energy,  belonging  to  youth. 

■"L"    and  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

"L"    stand  for  Love  for  Lowell,  enriching  our  lives.

FOR  YEARS,  ever  since  the  success  of  the  Panama  Pacific  International  Exposi- 
tion of  1915,  the  dream  of  another  great  exhibition  of  beauty  has  been  har- 
bored in  the  hearts  of  San  Franciscans.  Especially,  as  the  dream  of  two  huge 
bridges  spanning  San  Francisco  Bay  became  a  reality,  the  thought  of  having  a 
magnificent  exposition  to  celebrate  their  completion  became  more  concrete. 
Many  sites  and  ideas  for  the  Fair  were  discussed,  until  finally  It  was  decided  that 
we  would  make  our  own  site  by  bringing  up  sand  from  the  bottom  of  the  bay 
and  making  an  island — Treasure  Island.  With  the  aid  of  government  funds  and 
labor  this  engineering  feat  was  accomplished,  and  so  well  was  it  done  that  even 
after  the  Exposition  is  gone  from  Treasure  Island,  It  will  live  on,  serving  the  Bay 
Region  as  a  huge  airport,  greeting  and  bidding  farewell  to  mighty  Clippers 
of  the  sky.

fl    Cliy    IS   BUILDfO 

THE  ARCHITECTURE  OF  THE  EXPOSITION  is  of  the  new  Pacifc  type  that 
blends  the  old  Mayan,  Incan,  Malayan  and  Cambodian  forms.  The  finish  on 
all  of  the  buildings  is  an  iridescent  stucco  of  such  a  sort  that  it  reflects  the  sun- 
light and  kindles  softly  under  artificial  lighting.  Thus  night  on  the  Island  becomes 
a  bright  sunny  day.  The  unique  architecture  is  further  emphasized  by  the  science 
of  color  applied  to  all  of  the  Fair's  illumination.  Dominating  the  entire  island 
Is  the  Tower  of  the  Sun,  four  hundred  feet  high  and  crowned  by  the  golden 
Phoenix,  symbolic  of  the  rise  of  San  Francisco  from  Its  ashes  of  1906.  From  this 
tower  radiates  the  entire  exposition,  the  Court  of  the  Seven  Seas,  the  theme 
Court  of  Pacifica,  the  Courts  of  Flowers  and  Reflections,  the  Courts  of  the 
Moon  and  of  the  Trade  Winds.  Rather  than  size,  the  designers  have  empha- 
sized beauty  and  glamor.

been  excused  from  classes  both  lunch  periods,  frolicked  and  made  merry  in  the  auditorium  with  dancing  and 
other  festivities,  to  the  delight  of  all,  while  the  lower  classmen  looked  forward  to  the  time  when  they  too  might 
be  able  to  have  a  similar  day  in  which  to  disport  themselves  likewise. 

The  class  of  June,  1939,  after  electing  John  Rosenblatt  as  Class  Valedictorian  and  Yvonne  Cyr  as  Class  His- 
torian, chose  to  follow  the  example  set  by  the  last  graduates,  and  wear  caps  and  gowns  in  which  to  receive  their 
diplomas.  With  an  aura  of  seriousness  prevailing,  the  graduation  was  a  most  effective  sight,  rendered  even  more 
striking  by  the  departure  from  the  black  and  white  caps  and  gowns  of  last  term,  the  graduates  adopting  this 
time  a  dark  blue  and  cream  color  scheme,  which  was  exceedingly  attractive.  The  diplomas  were  given  out  at 
the  War  Memorial  Opera  House  on  the  afternoon  of  June  13th. 

Climaxing  the  gay  round  of  commencement  festivities,  the  Senior  Ball  was  held  at  the  close  of  graduation  day  in 
the  Colonial  Room  of  the  St.  Francis  Hotel.  Thus  ended  four  years  of  happiness,  joy,  and  work  at  Lowell  High 
School.

YVONNE  CYR 
CIdis  Historian 


FOUR  YEARS  OF  HIGH  SCHOOL  life  are  ending.  Meanwhile,  in  the  world,  events  of  great 
consequence  have  occurred.  Vital  to  our  parents  and  to  those  who  realized  fully  their  significance, 
they  meant  little  to  us  who  were  starting  a  history  which  seemed  far  more  important. 

1935 — News  of  the  Italo-Ethiopian  conflict  startled  the  world.  Yet  our  chief  concern  was  that  we 
had  to  start  our  high  school  careers  under  the  roof  of  our  traditional  rival,  Polytechnic.  Our  own 
building  was  being  made  safe  and  habitable. 

Our  first  weeks  teemed  with  new  activities,  new  confusions,  new  adjustments.  Our  new  surroundings 
were  unfamiliar  even  to  our  teachers.  Coming  from  smaller  schools  we  were  impressed  by  the 
strangeness  of  hordes  of  new  people.  Half-day  sessions  gave  us  too  little  time  for  real  acquaint- 
ance with  our  work  and  teachers.  We  crossed  the  paths  of  other  students  in  their  daily  routines 
who,  though  unknown  to  us,  became  familiar  through  this  repeated  patterned  weaving  of  our 
steps.  We  chatted  with  erstwhile  strangers  whose  lockers  adjoined  ours.  We  laughed  together 
at  the  same  classroom  incidents.  We  were  vexed  or  pleased  at  the  same  problems.  And  our  shy- 
ness gave  way  to  the  feeling  that  we  were  as  important  a  part  of  Lowell  as  those  older  students 
who  seemed  so  well  versed  In  the  complexities  o'  high  school  life. 

Our  school  patriotism  was  aroused  at  rallies.  We  cheered  our  football  team  on  to  victory  or  sor- 
rowed in  its  defeat.  Our  first  feeling  of  belonging  came  when  the  upper  classmen  entertained  us 
at  a  Freshman  Reception.  They  told  us  of  the  work  of  the  service  societies.  We  were  urged  to 
investigate  and  join  the  numerous  clubs  organized  around  the  special  enthusiasms  of  students. 
And  we  were  encouraged  to  harmonize  physical  activities  with  the  intellectual,  to  make  sports  as 
invigorating  a  part  of  our  lives  as  books. 

Grand  climax  to  the  first  term  was  our  jubilant  return  to  our  own  Lowell  building  where  the  re- 
mainder of  our  history  was  to  be  enacted.  In  our  own  building,  with  a  full  day's  schedule,  we 
found  more  opportunity  to  make  the  friendships  which  have  accompanied  us  through  these  four 
years.  There  was  something  about  being  in  our  own  building  that  brought  us  closer  together 
and  developed  a  pride  In  the  school. 

Patient,  sympathetic,  and  helpful  in  guiding  us  through  our  first  timorous  year  were  Mr.  Stephens, 
our  vice-principals,  our  faculty,  and  the  upper  classmen. 

In  the  Old  World,  Japan  and  China  had  renewed  hostilities.  Our  one  year  at  Lowell  had  given 
us  some  conception  of  this  spread  of  international  strife  in  the  world.  We  returned  to  Lowell  as 
sophomores. 

At  the  beginning  of  this  year  we  made  many  new  friendships  among  the  Junior  High  School  grad- 
uates who  supplemented  our  numbers.  With  these  new  friends  we  formed  the  complete  class  of 
June  1939.  First  opportunity  to  help  our  fellow  students  came  when  we  could  serve  them  in  the 
library,  the  offices,  the  cafeteria,  and  all  of  Lowell's  other  student-staffed  activities.  The  Cali- 
fornia Scholarship  Federation  welcomed  many  of  us.  Proudly  we  saw  a  large  number  of  the  boys 
in  our  class  earn  membership  in  the  Block  L  Society.  And  with  equal  pride  we  found  that  a  ma- 
jority of  the  girls  helped  to  constitute  the  largest  Girls'  Athletic  Association  in  the  city. 

At  the  end  of  our  second  year  we  felt  ourselves  well  established  as  Lowellltes.

CLASS  HISIORy 

Again,  in  our  third  year,  we  were  faced  with  aspects  of  international  conflict.  Our  sympathetic 
Interest  was  kindled  by  the  news  of  civil  strife  in  Spain.  It  was  during  our  Junior  Year  that  we 
achieved  the  independence  for  which  we  had  been  striving. 

As  upper  classmen  we  no  longer  needed  to  follow  the  courses  prescribed  for  us.  We  now  con- 
trolled the  conditions  under  which  we  existed.  Demonstrating  our  training  in  competence  we  se- 
lected carefully  our  subjects  and  arranged  our  programs.  And  we  chose  wisely  our  class  officers, 
who,  with  the  help  of  the  dance  committee,  presented  the  Low  Junior  Dance,  our  first  big  social 
occasion. 

An  increasingly  important  part  of  the  affairs  of  the  school  was  taken  by  members  of  our  class. 
Some  were  selected  from  membership  in  the  service  societies  because  their  group  responsibility  had 
been  proved  efficient.  Talented  members  of  the  class  represented  the  school  in  debates,  enter- 
tained the  student  body  in  plays,  or  formed  the  staffs  of  the  "Lowell"  and  the  "Red  and  White." 
We  were  delighted  by  the  promise  that  some  of  our  students  were  demonstrating  in  musical  and 
artistic  fields. 

As  a  result  of  our  activities  outside  of  courses,  there  was  borne  to  us  the  first  realization  of  the 
necessity  of  preparing  ourselves  for  the  world  outside  of  Lowell.  Many  of  us  became  conscious 
of  the  needs  for  grades  and  courses  of  study  that  would  conform  with  college  requirements. 

Then  while  the  smaller  nations  of  Central  Europe  were  threatened  with  loss  of  the  personalliberty 
and  political  freedom  that  it  is  our  heritage  to  enjoy,  we  reached  our  Senior  Year.  Foremost  in 
our  minds  were  serious  thoughts  of  what  the  furure  might  hold. 

As  Seniors  we  were  swept  up  by  the  current  of  final  Lowell  activities — taking  of  pictures,  collection 
of  dues,  and  preparation  for  graduation  and  Senior  Ball. 

Sorely  needed,  vigorously  championed,  and  enthusiastically  received,  the  boys'  new  gymnasium 
was  completed  during  this  term.  And  the  Board  of  Education  rewarded  the  efforts  of  the  school, 
the  girls,  and  their  parents  with  promise  of  provision  for  the  equally  necessary  girls'  gymnasium. 
While  the  girls  of  our  class  will  not  be  able  to  enjoy  a  modern  gymnasium,  we  are  glad  that  those 
who  follow  us  will  benefit  from  adequate  facilities  which  both  the  boys  and  girls  of  this  class 
helped  to  achieve. 

Our  four  year  record  of  athletic  triumphs  and  academic  honors  added  many  trophies  to  Lowell's 
enviable  collection.  Our  class  has  initiated  a  special  souvenir  edition  of  our  school  paper,  in  which 
Lowell's  history  and  tradition  are  recorded. 

Along  with  the  other  responsibilities  of  our  Senior  Year  came  leadership  in  student  body  affairs. 
Our  turn  came  to  receive,  set  at  their  ease,  and  guide  the  Freshmen  and  newcomers. 

Now,  closing  our  fourth  year,  we,  grown  older,  have  become  more  aware  of  the  international  strife 
and  domestic  problems  that  surround  us.  From  our  more  mature  courses  in  our  Senior  Year  we  have 
been  made  cognizant  of  these  tensions  and  discords.  We  also  realize  more  fully  the  responsi- 
bility that  we  must  soon  share  in  the  affairs  of  the  world. 

Our  Lowell  hiigh  School  preparation  has  been  of  a  constructive  nature.  The  significance  of  this 
world  unrest,  of  these  destructive  forces  at  work  outside  our  own  small  sphere  has  been  revealed 
to  us. 

We  appreciate  that  our  part  in  the  activities  of  the  future  may  be  only  a  small  one.  Yet,  if  we 
can  employ  the  constructive  viewpoints  that  we  have  been  trained  to  use  at  Lowell,  those  of 
health,  growth,  and  progress,  in  contributing  to  the  security  of  our  country  In  the  coming  years, 
we  will  have  justified  the  Investment  that  San  Francisco  and  society  have  made  in  our  education. 
We  will  give  a  good  account  of  ourselves  in  the  future.

LOWELL  HIGH  SCHOOL 
June  13,  1939 
Dear  Alumnus: 

You  wanted  to  know  what  the  class  of  June  1939  was  doing  when  not  in  classes;  so  I  scouted  around 
madly  with  my  chalk  and  blackboard  to  get  you  the  information,  and  here  it  is. 

I  began  my  tour  at  North  Beach,  where  TERRY  KILPATRICK  and  TOM  McCARTY  have  a  spa- 
ghetti factory,  and  found  GORDON  KENNY,  using  his  voice  to  advantage,  calling  "Fresh  fish  today"; 
also  saw  CLARK  GRANT  with  Elaine  Stevens  admiring  the  "view"  from  Telegraph  Hill.  Borrowing  their 
opera  glasses,  I  espied  BOB  BACIGALUPI  enthusiastically  hooking  goldfish  in  the  bay.  Then,  in  hot 
pursuit  of  graduates,  your  reporter  went  over  to  Land's  End,  where  she  discovered,  of  all  people,  HAR- 
MON BONTE  showing  BOB  DAWSON  flying  to  Hawaii  on  the  Clipper  to  Fran  Hubbard.  I  went  to  the 
beach,  having  felt  the  urge  for  a  hot  dog,  but  was  distracted  by  diver  DOTTY  FRANKLIN  cavorting  near 
Seal  Rocks,  and  by  twin  bathing  beauties  BETTY  LOU  and  NELLIE-JO  SMITH,  to  say  nothing  of  IDA 
ZAMMITT  fishing  for  a  rubber-toothed  shark!  GRACE  GOMPERTS,  I  saw  out  at  the  Zoo.  She's  act- 
ing as  proprietress  now,  and  told  me  that  she  saw  Rookie  CLIFF  WILEY  at  the  Presidio  swabbing  out 
guns.  DOTTIE  LIBBY,  taking  a  constitutional  in  the  Park,  helped  me  carry  my  blackboard,  but  I  had  to 
take  it  back  to  write  about  mighty  muscle  man  STAN  BERNHARD  rowing  around  Strawberry  Hill  on 
Stow  Lake,  AL  PETERS  working  on  calm  days  blowing  the  windmill  sails  around,  and  guards  in  the  de 
Young  Museum  PAT  DOOLING  and  JIM  MACIEL,  resplendent  in  their  uniforms.  DON  KORTICK  and 
RUTH  LERER,  you  won't  be  surprised  to  hear,  were  discovered  on  Twin  Peaks,  but  they  gave  me  a  lift 
into  town,  detouring  around  via  Ingleside,  where  BOB  ZAMLOCK  was  shooting  an  85  (on  the  first 
hole!),  and  also  around  by  Yacht  Harbor  where  BOB  ELLIOTT  and  FLOYD  SMITH  were  discussing  the 
relative  merits  of  two  brands  of  brass  polish  for  yacht  and  ship  fixtures.  Having  said  "hello"  at  the 
City  Hall  to  DON  MINKLER,  mayor-for-a-day,  I  meandered  into  a  nearby  office  building,  and  there, 
working  hard,  were  executive  JACK  COONEY  and  secretary  PAT  LANG.  "Inspiration."  I  suddenly 
shouted,  and  grabbing  a  spy-glass,  from  the  top  floor  of  the  building  I  had  a  clear  view  to  Tanforan, 
seeing  horse-lover  HELEN  CONLISK  rooting  for  jockey  BILL  HARRISON. 

The  Fair  seemed  fraught  with  possibilities  of  news-getting,  so  hastily  donning  my  spring-shus,  I 
hopped  to  the  Embarcadero,  and  I  was  really  amazed  to  see  NEAL  REGIN  in  jeans  and  shirt-sleeves  as 
a  dock-worker,  but  not  so  unexpected  was  the  sight  of  GERTRUDE  FERRIS  and  GARRY  TODD  who, 
excitedly  watching  the  movies,  were  out  for  an  afternoon's  entertainment.  Leaving  them,  I  dashed  to 
make  the  ferry,  and  found  JEAN  ARNOLD  and  YVONNE  CYR  having  their  palms  read.  While  chatting 
together,  we  happened  to  look  up,  and  there  on  the  Bay  Bridge  above  us  was  DON  DAVIS  taking 
tickets  on  the  train.  Suddenly,  "Ahoy,  there,"  we  heard,  and  in  the  crow's  nest  of  a  huge  battleship  was 
DICK  CALLAGHAN,  now  Admiral.  The  Exposition  certainly  lived  up  to  my  expectations,  for  at  once 
I  perceived,  sitting  in  the  shade  of  the  Tower  of  the  Sun,  exhausted,  were  PETE  DELOS  and  JOE  MAR- 
RON.  I  sympathized  with  them,  leaving  a  bottle  of  liniment,  and  went  into  the  Foods  Building,  where 
"TUBBY"  LUCY  dashed  by  with  a  handful  of  fudge  and  Aplets.  In  "Vacationland"  I  came  across 
SOPHIE  GORTER  and  GAVIN  HIGH  arguing  over  the  best  place  for  a  vacation;  BOB  MOLINARI, 
now  an  eminent  geologist,  exhibiting  a  "gold"  nugget  (formula  FeS2!)  In  the  Machines  and  Mines  Build- 
ing: MARSHALL  TAFT  lecturing  in  the  Science  Building;  SHIRLEY  JOY  and  EDITH  McFARLAND 
studying  Botticelli  in  the  Arts  Building;  and  CLAIRE  RIDGWAY  exploring  again  the  roads  of  old  China 
in  the  Chinese  Village.  Along  the  Gayway,  the  roller  coaster  came  shooting  down,  bearing  with  It, 
yelling  lustily,  RITA  RILOVICH,  ROSEMARY  WHERRY,  and  BEVERLEE  TOBIN.  MARION  LEARY, 
LORETTE  NORTH  and  MARY  ANN  WALKER  had  just  arrived,  and  were  in  the  parking  lot  debating 
whether  to  go  to  the  Gayway  or  the  Folles  Bergere,  but  I  left  them  before  they  set+leci  the  question. 
In  the  airplane  hangar  BETSEY  PANTON  was  picking  out  the  fastest  plane  to  Berkeley,  so  I  joined  her, 
landing  at  the  Berkeley  Yacht  Harbor,  where  FRED  SANDROCK  and  BRUCE  BONNER  were  rowing 
a  heated  race.  Just  then  the  Campanile  chimes  rang  out  to  the  tune  of  "The  Bells  of  St.  Mary's"  to 
much  booing  from  the  U.  C.  students,  while  accompanying  the  chimes,  HUGH  HOUSTON.  CARL 
SJOLUND,  PRISCILLA  FINLEY,  and  JEANNE  GILLIN  formed  a  quartet.  In  the  U.  C.  Stadium  I  found 
gladiators  ED  EPTING  and  CHASE  GREGORY  fighting  a  fearful  and  bloody  duel  with  feathers,  and 
speed  demon  JOHNNY  MEIER,  In  the  midget  auto  races,  tearing  around  the  track,  with  BERNARD 
RIORDAN  as  chief  bandager. 

There,  dear  Alumnus,  is  the  story  of  the  doings  of  our  busy  graduating  class,  all  of  whom  took 
"time  out"  to  say  hello  to  you. 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

TERESA  "TAE"  GUILFOIL. 

P.S. — I  went  back  to  Lowell  the  other  day  and  there  was  poor  FRANK  LAYCOCK  still  plugging 
away  at  Latin  I!!  Tae.

RECEIVING  THE  DISTINGUISHED  title  of  upperclassmen  for  the  first  time,  the  Low-3  class  elected  as  its  first 
class  officers,  William  Chandler,  president:  Agnes  Jones,  vice-president,  and  Car!  Raaka,  secretary.  These  three 
capably  aided  the  dance  committee  to  make  successful  their  first  class  dance,  the  unique  "Sweet  Shop  Shuffle," 
held  February  24. 

The  Low-3's  participated  in  all  activities.    "Red  and  White"  workers  were  Pauline  DeCarlo,  Alvln  Heyman,  Carl 

Raaka:  on  the  special  art  staff  were  Helen  Lechleiter, 
Peggy  May  and  Theima  Selix.  The  "Lowell"  claimed  Mar- 
jorie  Wilson.  Dramatics  captured  the  interest  of  Warren

er." Wyona  Lindner  was  president  of  the  German  Club, 
Bertram  Larson,  of  the  Hi-Y.  Sonia  Hayward  sang  in  the

ketball, Wayne  Marsh,  Unlimited.  In  crew  were  Peter  Ke- 
pon, Alexander  Vladmiroff  and  Hans  Wiedenhofer.  Donald 
Beanston,  Donald  Grannis,  and  Alvin  Heyman  went  out  for 
swimming:  Bertram  Hartford  for  golf.  A  large  number  of 
Low  Junior  girls  were  members  of  the  G.A.A. 

Though  it  is  early  to  predict,  the  fine  students  of  the 
Low-3  class  have  all  the  earmarks  of  being  one  of  Lowell's 
finest  classes.

both  folee  Clubs,  and  music  from  the  orchestra.  Jack  Menary,  representing  a  medicine  man  In- 
troduced the  various  acts.  1  The  Lower  Classmen  have  not  been  idle  this  term,  as  Is  shown  In

I  HE  Exposition's  four  hundred  acres  cover  an  area  more  than  a  mile  in  length 
and  more  than  two-thirds  of  a  mile  in  width.  Nearly  four  million  dollars  of 
WPA  money  and  a  fleet  of  army  dredges  joined  to  make  this  huge  island  by 
scooping  sand  from  the  bay  and  placing  it  on  the  Verba  Buena  shoals.  Cali- 
fornia displays  its  beautiful  flowers;  hyacinths,  violas,  fruit  blossoms  of  early 
spring  are  succeeded  by  rhododendrons,  roses,  eschscholtzias,  chrysanthemums, 
as  the  seasons  advance,  with  the  splendor  of  mesembryanthemums  in  the 
Magic  Carpet  and  the  buxom  confidence  of  the  cabbages  gladdening  all  the 
year.  Truly,  the  Fair  is  a  garden  land  of  beauty.  At  night  the  boulevards  of 
flowers  give  way  to  the  mystery  and  gayety  of  multi-colored  lights  which  can 
be  seen  from  all  the  surrounding  cities  and  which  make  the  Island  seem  like  a 
fantasy  too  beautiful  to  be  real.

BOyS'  BLOCK  L  SOCifiy 

THE  BOYS'  BLOCK  L  SOCIETY  accomplished  another  fine  term  of  service  to  Lowell. 
Much  credit  is  due  to  Its  officers:  Peter  Delos,  president;  James  Honnert,  vice-president, 
and  William  Joslyn,  secretary.  The  Block  L  was  under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  Monroe, 
Dean  of  Boys,  with  Mr.  Walsh  and  Mr.  Neff  acting  as  advisers.  The  150  members  acted 
as  big  brothers  to  the  new  students,  prepared  the  court  for  rallies,  and  kept  order  at 
the  basketball  games.  The  first  annual  joint  Boys'  and  Girls'  Block  L  dance,  held  on 
March  16,  was  a  huge  success. 

The  traffic  squad,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Walsh  and  Captain  Samuel  Mendelson, 
rendered  another  valuable  service  to  Lowell.  Besides  doing  their  regular  duty  of  assist- 
ing students  to  cross  streets  in  safety  they  took  part  in  a  statewide  competition  held  at 
the  Fair  Grounds  on  May  17.  The  winning  units  cannot  be  published  as  this  article  goes 
to  press,  but  the  32  members  of  the  squad  stand  a  good  chance  of  receiving  recognition.

SCHOLARSHIP  ffDfRflllOO 

THE  LOWELL  CHAPTER  of  the  California  Scholarship  Federaflon  continued  its  helpful  work  this 
term  with  a  membership  of  a  little  over  one  hundred  and  seventy  students.  Elected  for  the  presi- 
dency was  Frank  Laycock.  Carol  Christian  was  the  vice-president  and  Marie  Cummings,  for  the 
second  time,  was  elected  secretary.  1  Some  of  the  meetings  were  held  on  Treasure  Island.  At  the 
regional  meeting  of  February  7,  Alameda  was  the  host  chapter  of  the  semi-annual  event.  Future 
plans  for  more  meetings  at  the  Fair  site  sometime  in  April  are  well  under  way.  1  Of  all  the  com- 
mittees in  the  C.  S.  F.,  probably  the  one  most  important  is  the  Coaching  Committee.  There  are 
eight  supervisors,  who  are:  Barbara  Bammann,  Selma  Cornet,  Dorothy  Fitzpatrick,  Marion  Leary, 
Martha  Scherer,  Jean  Schwarzenbek,  Irene  Weed,  and  Patricia  Worrell.  They  are  in  charge  of  a 
number  of  coaches  who  meet  daily  in  room  142.  Their  purpose  is  to  help  those  students  who  need 
help  in  such  difficult  subjects  as  algebra,  geometry,  Latin,  and  French.  Students  who  volunteer 
for  coaching  duty  deserve  much  praise,  for  they  give  up  their  study  period  to  do  this  work,  f  The 
other  committees  consist  of  membership,  headed  by  Marlon  Neustadt,  program;  Earl  Anderson, 
and  Barbara  Bammann  in  charge  of  the  dance  committee.  ^  An  invitation  to  present  to  the  honor 
students  of  Presentation  Academy  the  scholarship  pins  March  I,  was  accepted.  Lowell  repre- 
sentatives were  President  Frank  Laycock,  Vice-President  Carol  Christian,  and  Secretary  Marie 
Cummings.  1  The  C.S.F.  has  rendered  fine  service  to  Lowell  and  it  is  a  society  to  which  members 
should  feel  honored  to  be  elected.

THE  LOWELL  PARENT-TEACHER  ASSOCIATION  is  an  essential  and  important  part 
of  the  school.  It  strives  to  educate  the  public  in  regard  to  the  physical  needs  of  the 
school.  It  also  helps  students  to  complete  their  education  through  scholarships  and  other 
methods  of  student  aid.  It  contributes  from  time  to  time  to  such  projects  for  the  benefit 
of  the  student  body  in  general  as  are  necessary  and  cannot  be  cared  for  in  any  other 
way. 

In  addition  to  helping  the  students,  the  P.-T.A.  has  been  interested  for  some  years  in  the 
school  library.  A  sum  of  money  has  been  set  aside,  known  as  the  Library  Fund,  from  which 
the  Librarian  draws  at  her  discretion  for  such  books  as  she  feels  are  needed  from  time 
to  time.  When  the  Library  Fund  grows  too  low,  it  is  replenished  from  the  treasury  of  the 
P.-T.A. 

This  year  the  P.-T.A.  has  co-operated  with  Mr.  Stephens  in  bringing  to  the  attention  of 
the  proper  authorities  the  need  for  better  lighting  in  the  school.  A  great  many  rooms  in 
the  building  have  been  much  improved  as  a  result  of  this  campaign.  The  completion  and 
opening  of  the  Boys'  Gymnasium  was  an  occasion  of  rejoicing  to  the  P.-T.A.  members, 
for  it  was  only  because  of  several  years  of  constant  effort  that  this  building  was  finally 
achieved.  Now  a  new  Girls'  Gymnasium  has  been  promised.  The  P.-T.A.  hopes  that 
1940  will  see  the  culmination  of  its  efforts  to  secure  this  building  for  the  Lowell  girls. 

The  Lowell  P.-T.A.  is  proud  of  the  fact  that  for  the  past  five  years  it  has  had  the  largest 
membership  of  any  unit  in  Second  District  (San  Francisco).  This  shows  how  vitally  the 
parents  of  Lowell  students  are  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  school. 

The  business  of  the  P.-T.A.  for  the  year  1938-1939  has  been  in  the  capable  hands  of  the 
following  officers:  President,  Mrs.  M.  McMillan;  Honorary  Vice-President,  Mr.  Leroy 
Stephens;  First  Vice-President,  Mrs.  Ward  Royal;  Second  Vice-President,  Mrs.  M.  R. 
Knoph;  Treasurer,  Mrs.  Wm.  Hunter;  Financial  Secretary,  Mrs.  W.  A.  Cyr;  Recording 
Secretary,  Mrs.  J.  W.  Farnow,  Jr.;  Auditor,  Mrs.  R.  H.  Carscadden;  Historian,  Mrs. 
W.  H.  Sawtelle;  Parliamentarian,  Mrs.  George  Beanston,  Jr.

LOWELL'S  R.O.T.C.  BATTALION,  under  the  command  of  Captain  H.  J.  Flexsenhar  and  Lieu- 
tenant Colonel  Clifford  J.  Wiley,  student  commander,  made  a  great  deal  of  progress  this  term. 
The  battalion  parades  were  on  Wednesday  of  every  week.  This  term  over  200  members  were  di- 
vided into  three  companies:  Company  A,  under  Capt.  Marshall  Taft;  Company  B,  under  Capt. 
Roland  Chiselli;  Company  C,  under  Capt.  Forrest  Cobb.  Heading  the  Saber  Club  was  Roland 
Ghiselli.  Presiding  over  the  Officers'  and  Sergeants'  Club  was  Lieut.  Col.  Clifford  Wiley.  The 
marching  head  of  the  band  was  Jack  Rubke.  Allen  Smithson  was  the  musical  director.  High  point 
man  on  the  Rifle  Team  was  William  Flexsenhar. 

High-lighting  the  term  was  the  Federal  Inspection  in  May.  The  winning  unit  cannot  be  published 
as  this  article  goes  to  press.  However,  it  looks  as  if  Lowell  stands  a  good  chance  of  receiving 
Honor  School  rating. 

The  R.O.T.C.  entered  into  other  competitions:  The  Exposition  Fiesta  Parade  held  February  14  on 
Market  Street,  the  Memorial  Day  Parade  on  Lombard  Street,  and  the  annual  high  school  compe- 
tition in  May  at  the  Civic  Auditorium. 

The   Lowell    R.O.T.C.   Battalion  was  awarded  two  first  places  at  the  Annual  Competition.    Allen 
Smithson  was  awarded  the  drum  major's  medal  and  Arthur  Aaronson  the  platoon  leader's  saber. 
The  annual  R.O.T.C.  banquet  at  the  end  of  the  semester  was  a  great  success.

CLUBS 


CLUBS  PLAYED  THEIR  usual  Important  part 
for  hobby-minded  Lowellites.  New  clubs  were 
founded,  while  memberships  in  veteran  organi- 
zations increased.  1  New  and  popular  was  the 
Figure  Skating  Club  which,  under  the  direction 
of  Miss  Chase,  met  at  a  local  ice-rink  weekly. 
■]  Also  new  is  the  Contract  Bridge  Club,  its 
sponsor  being  Mr.  Dunn,  who  has  been  busy 
teaching  the  fine  points  of  bridge.  ^  The  Music 
Club  continued  to  be  instructional  as  well  as 
enjoyable.  1  A  number  of  prominent  outside 
speakers  addressed  the  Psychology  Club. 
1  Contests  were  held  and  many  beautiful  and 
original  snapshots  were  submitted  by  the  Cam- 
era enthusiasts.  "[  Many  interesting  experi- 
ments, but  no  explosions,  were  performed  at 
the  Chemistry  Club  meetings.  1  The  Stamp 
Club  has  succeeded  in  gathering  its  collection 
from  all  over  the  world.  1  Perhaps  one  of  the 
most  interesting,  is  the  Radio  Club.  This  group 
has  some  very  fine  equipment  and  hopes  to 
have  its  own  school  station.  ■[  The  Chess  Club 
has  grown  so  rapidly  that  there  are  now  three 
groups:  beginners,  intermediate,  and  ad- 
vanced, which  compete  in  heated  tournaments. 
1  The  General  Science  Club  specialized  in  the 
study  of  tropical  fish  and  has  added  several 
novel  species  this  term,  f  All  in  all,  the  Clubs 
have  gained  greatly  in  Importance  at  Lowell.

EXHIBITS  OF  THIRTY-FIVE  nations,  represenfing  ail  the  major  countries  that 
border  on  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  many  of  the  continent  of  Europe,  are  now 
being  shown  on  Treasure  Island.  Some  of  the  more  important  ones  represented 
are  the  Netherlands.  East  Indies,  Brazil,  French  Indo-China.  Johore,  France, 
Norway,  Argentina,  Chile,  Italy,  New  Zealand,  Peru,  Costa  Rica,  the  Philip- 
pine Commonwealth,  and  Australia.  The  United  States  Government  has  a  one 
and  a  half  million  dollar  Federal  building  exhibit  which  is  a  panorama  of  United 
States  history  and  government;  it  includes  over  seven  acres  of  Federal  exhibits. 
Many  of  the  states  also  have  wondrous  exhibitions  of  their  products.  Two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  of  America's  leading  industries  dramatize  their  products  and 
services  in  vivid  displays.  There  is  also  a  history-making  collection  of  fine  arts, 
from  those  of  Renaissance  and  modern  Europe  to  the  decorative  arts  of  the 
Pacific  Basin.

WITH  MISS  J.  M.  NEPPERT  In  charge,  the  Boys'  Advanced  Glee  Club  has  had  a  very  suc- 
cessful and  busy  semester.  1  The  first  occasion  upon  which  the  boys  sang  was  for  the  New- 
comers' Reception.  ^  Among  their  other  activities  was  a  radio  broadcast  early  In  February, 
when  the  Double  Quartet  entertained  for  the  Parent-Teacher  Association.  ^  In  April,  they 
were  Invited  to  sing  at  the  International  Exposition,  and  they  plan  to  sing  there  again 
later  this  term.  It  is  a  tradition  that  at  Commencement  the  Boys'  Glee  Club  render  several 
selections.  ^The  members  of  the  Double  Quartet  are:  Gordon  Kenny  and  John  Mehner,  first 
tenors;  William  Tibbs  and  Foster  Yuen,  second  tenors;  William  Garry  and  Jerry  Kilty,  bari- 
tones, and  Hugh  Houston  and  George  Backman,  bass.  ^  The  officers  for  the  term  were:  presi- 
dent, Hugh  Houston;  vice-president,  George  Backman;  secretary,  Gordon  Kenny,  and  Ray 
Blanch  and  William  Tibbs.  the  two  librarians.  ^  An  interesting  fact  about  the  Boys'  Glee  is 
that  they  specialize  In  A  Capella  singing.  Instrumental  accompaniment  of  any  kind  is  very 
seldom  used.  ]  The  splendid  work  of  the  Boys'  Glee,  both  in  and  out  of  Lowell,  has  helped 
to  show  the  public  what  a  fine  music  department  this  school  has.

UNDER  THE  LEADERSHIP  of  Miss  H.  J.  Alexander,  the  Girls'  advanced 
Glee  Club  took  part  in  many  enjoyable  programs.  1  The  term's  activities 
opened  with  the  Newcomers'  Reception  held  in  the  auditorium,  February 
1 .  1  Some  of  the  Glee  Club  members  went  to  Treasure  Island  to  partici- 
pate in  the  special  Lowell  broadcast,  not  only  by  singing,  but  by  humming 
accompaniment  to  the  speakers.  1  The  Parent-Teacher  Association  has 
been  entertained  by  the  Girls'  advanced  Glee  Club  and  the  Triple  Trio, 
which  is  composed  of  nine  girls:  Shirley  Foster,  Lee  Poyner.  and  June 
Roberts,  first  sopranos,  Sonia  Hayward,  Lorraine  Thomas,  and  Gloria 
Yaffee,  second  sopranos.  Priscllla  Finley,  Irene  Old,  Pearl  Steiner,  altos, 
and  Shirley  Rouse,  piano  accompanist.  ■[  They  sang  for  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolu- 
tion at  the  Fairmont  Hotel  in  February,  and  will  sing  at  Commencement,  as  they  have  always 
done.  1  The  officers  for  the  term  were  president,  Patricia  Thomas;  vice-president,  Priscilla  Finley; 
secretary,  Betty  Roos;  and  librarian,  Shirley  Button.  1  This  vocal  group  deserve  much  credit  for  the 
enjoyable  entertainment  they  have  given  us.

FOR  TWO  SUCCESSIVE  TERMS  Jack  Rubke  has  led  the  band,  under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  Madison  Devlin,  f  At  all  rallies  and  games  this  spirit-firing 
group  has  been  present.  Many  of  the  members  are  in  the  All-City  Band,  which 
is  composed  of  students  from  the  different  high  schools.  Helping  to  cheer  our 
teams  on  to  victory,  the  band  has  been  heard  to  play  "On,  Cardinal,"  and 
after  the  game  is  over,  the  "Lowell  Hymn."  1  Along  with  our  band  at  every 
rally  and  game  the  three  yell  leaders,  headed  by  Robert  Curley,  and  assisted 
by  Joseph  Mitchell  and  Noel  Reyburn,  have  led  the  school  yells  and  songs. 
To  cheer  the  teams,  they  led  the  student  body  in  the  "Whispering  Cardinal," 
"Our  Team  Is  Red  Hot,"  and  the  coach  and  players  yell  to  show  appreciation 
of  our  athletes'  hard  work.  1  Much  credit  is  due  to  our  band  and  yell  leaders, 
who  add  spirit  to  the  games  and  rallies  and  help  our  teams  win  victory.

UNDER  THE  DIRECTION  of  Mr.  Madison  Devlin,  with  Claire  Wllklns  as  Concert  Mis- 
tress, the  advanced  orchestra  played  for  the  special  Lowell  radio  broadcast  on  Treasure 
Island  In  February.  They  played  "Poupee-Valsant,"  by  Poidinl,  "Ballet  Sentimental"  and 
"Bon  Vivant,"  by  Zammlcek,  and  the  "Lowell  hlymn"  for  this  occasion,  and  they  also 
accompanied  the  speaking  parts.  In  April  they  played  for  the  Pageant  given  by  the 
San  Francisco  school  department  at  the  Opera  House.  The  orchestra  first  presented 
their  music  this  term  at  the  Newcomers'  Reception,  for  which  they  played  selections 
from  "The  Three  Musketeers."  They  also  rendered  the  same  selections  for  a  Parent- 
Teacher  Association  meeting,  and  participated  at  the  Commencement  Exercises  and 
at  the  term  play.  Court  concerts,  which  began  last  term  and  proved  to  be  successful, 
were  continued,  with  both  the  band  and  orchestra  participating.  ■[  Robert  Dawson  was 
the  leader  of  the  dance  orchestra,  which  supplied  music  for  all  the  school  dances  and 
entertained  at  Aptos  Junior  High  by  playing  popular  dance  tunes.  1  Mr.  Madison 
Devlin,  who  has  been  four  years  in  charge  of  Lowell's  instrumental  groups,  has  earned  for 
the  school  the  reputation  of  having  one  of  the  finest  music  departments  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. Among  these  groups,  which  number  nine  in  all,  are  the  advanced  orchestra  and 
band,  the  dance  orchestra,  and  the  beginners'  and  Intermediate  orchestras.  These 
instrumental  classes  never  fail  to  add  new  names  to  their  lists  every  term.  Both  the  ad- 
vanced orchestra  and  the  band  have  interested  an  increased  number  in  joining  them. 
Without  such  cultural  music  groups  our  school  life  would  not  be  as  enjoyable  nor  as 
entertaining.  Their  fine  performances  are  the  result  of  numerous  rehearsals  and  hard 
work.

THE  FIRST  PROGRAM  of  the  Dramatics  Club,  presented  to  an  all-girls'  assembly,  featured  twc 
one-act  plays:  "Pot  Boiler" — Concerning  the  trying  but  comical  troubles  confronting  an  eccentric 
director  (Warren  Mohr)  while  rehearsing  his  cast — Anderson,  Jean  Arnold,  Teresa  Guilfoil,  Patri- 
cia Hopkins,  Quinn  and  Wiley.  These  two  comedies  were,  by  demand,  repeated  at  a  mixed  as- 
sembly, 1  Later,  two  more  one-act  plays  were  presented  before  an  all-girls'  and  a  mixed  assembly. 
In  "Five  for  Bad  Luck,"  the  small  town  girl  outwits  the  college  hero  who  had  accepted  five  dollars 
to  date  her.  Participating  were:  Yvonne  Cyr,  Teresa  Guilfoil,  Horn,  Frances  McNeil,  Leeana  Mich- 
aels, Peters,  Quinn  and  Wiley.  "And  Silently  Steal  Away"  dealt  with  the  efforts  of  a  young  mar- 
ried couple  (Priscilla  FInley  and  Gordon  Kenny)  to  move  from  their  apartment,  unknown  to  the 
landlady.  William  Garry  and  Betty  Peterson  had  Important  roles.  1  The  annual  Shaksperlan 
contest  called  forth  additional  dramatic  talent.  Dorothy  MacKenzie  and  Donald  Peters,  coached 
by  Mr.  Lee,  represented  Lowell  in  the  All-City  competition,  held  at  Humboldt,  April  27. 
1  Lowell's  successful  broadcast  at  Treasure  Island  on  February  28  featured  the  greatness  of  James 
Russell  Lowell.  John  MacKinnon  acted  as  commentator.  Other  speakers  were:  Barbara  Betten- 
court,  Davis,  Dawson,  Gillio,  Jean  Levlnson,  Quinn  and  Wiley.  The  concert  orchestra  played  se- 
lections under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Devlin;  the  mixed  glee  accompaniment  was  directed  by  Miss 
Alexander.

THE  TERM  PLAY,  "The  Fortune  Hunter,"  by  Wlnchell  Smith,  was  presented  on  May  23,  24,  25  and  26, 
before  four  enthusiastic  audiences.  This  production,  with  its  elaborate  settings  and  splendid  acting, 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  successful  presentations  ever  enjoyed  by  Lowell  students.  1  The  plot  con- 
cerns the  struggles  of  a  young  ne'er-do-well,  Nat  Duncan  (William  Garry).  He  is  sent  away  to  a  small  town 
by  his  close  friend,  Harry  Kellogg  (Clifford  Wiley),  with  a  profitable  marriage  in  mind.  He  soon  estab- 
lishes himself  by  working  for  a  kindly  old  druggist,  Sam  Graham  (Gordon  Kenny),  and  promptly  falls  in 
love  with  his  daughter,  Betty  (Agnes  Jones  and  Claire  Moody).  He  is  pursued  by  the  wealthy  banker's 
daughter,  Josie  Lockwood  (Patricia  Niemeyer  and  Betty  Peterson),  and  her  close  friend  Angle  (Myra 
Buchholz  and  Rose  Marie  Young).  Josie  and  Nat  promptly  become  engaged.  After  much  ado  — 
being  mistaken  for  an  escaped  convict  and  becoming  engaged  to  the  wrong  girl,  things  straighten 
themselves  out  for  the  "Fortune  Hunter"  and  a  happy  ending  is  had  by  all!  1  Others  having  important 
parts  were  George  Burnham,  played  by  Frank  Quinn;  James  Long,  played  by  James  Chandler;  Lau- 
rence Miller,  played  by  Richard  Noah;  Willie  Bartlett,  played  by  Gerald  MacDonald;  Robins,  played 
by  Warren  Mohr;  Mr.  Lockwood,  played  by  Frank  Gillio;  Tracy  Tanner,  played  by  Charles  McGuire; 
Pete,  the  sheriff,  played  by  Jack  Lynch,  "Watty"  played  by  Carlos  Ricketson,  and  "Hi,"  played  by 
Harry  Buttimer.  \  Samuel  Kay  Polland,  Lowell's  expert  dramatic  coach,  is  to  be  highly  commended 
once  again  for  the  splendid  scenery  and  action.  The  soda  fountain  and  rain  scenes  were  greatly  admired 
novelties.  Much  of  this  credit  is  rightfully  due  the  untiring  work  of  the  staging  committee,  consisting  of 
Joseph  Horn,  Jack  Lynch  and  Theodore  Pohlmann.

LIVING  UP  TO  the  excellenf  standards  set  In  the  past  by  ace  Lowell  debaters,  the  Debating  So- 
ciety once  again  showed  its  great  ability.  Led  by  John  Rosenblatt,  president  of  both  the  San 
Francisco  Debating  League  and  the  Lowell  Society,  Vice  President  Pearl  Steiner,  and  Secretary 
Barbara  McRae,  and  instructed  by  Lowell's  excellent  debating  coach,  George  C.  Lorbeer,  more 
than  one  hundred  students  were  given  opportunity  in  debating  and  oratory.  1  The  first  of  Lowell's 
spring  victories  connmenced  with  the  State  Tournament,  held  over  from  the  fall  semester.  Second 
place  in  debating  was  claimed  by  Frank  Giliio  and  Ellen  Shank.  Other  teams  making  good  were: 
Hans  Beetz  and  Barbara  McRae,  Benjamin  Parkinson  and  Pearl  Steiner,  Marian  Neustadt  and 
John  Rosenblatt,  Forrest  Cobb  and  Frances  Hubbard.  In  the  extemporaneous  contest  Frank 
Giliio  won  for  Lowell,  while  Robert  Dawson  placed  second  in  the  boys'  oratorical.  To  complete, 
the  Debating  Society  claimed  the  much-coveted  "Sweepstakes  Trophy."  1  Robert  Dawson  was 
Lowell's  representative  in  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West  oratorical  contest  on  January  27. 
1  In  the  Tracy  Extemporaneous  Contest,  held  on  February  I  I,  Frank  Giliio  took  first  place,  and  Bar- 
bara McRae  and  Pearl  Steiner  made  the  final  round.  1  On  March  15  in  the  first  League  Debate, 
Donald  Minkler  and  Pearl  Steiner  were  defeated  at  Mission;  but  Marian  Neustadt  and  John  Rosen- 
blatt won  at  Lowell.  "Compulsory  Arbitration"  was  the  subject.  ^  At  the  Ripon  tournament  on 
March  25,  Nancy  Mays  and  Seymour  Meister  reached  the  finals,  while  Frank  Giliio  and  Ellen  Shank 
were  the  only  team  to  go  beyond  the  fourth  round.  1  In  a  non-decision  debate  against  the  Cali-

Are    our    debaters    happy   about    their    cups? 

Too  bad  Coach  Lorbeer,  largely  responsible 

for  the  victories,  is  hiding  so  far  behind! 


fornla  Freshmen,  Ben  Parkinson,  John  Rosenblatt  and  Pearl  Steiner,  met  former  Lowell  debaters, 
Ralph  Kramer  and  Charlotte  Newell.  The  subject  was:  Resolved,  "That  the  power  of  the  press  be 
curtailed."  1  An  excellent  showing  was  made  at  the  Fresno  tournament  on  April  22.  Three  teams 
went  to  the  finals  In  debating,  and  eight  speakers  competed  in  the  extemporaneous  and  oratorical 
finals.  Subjects  were  the  "British  Alliance"  and  "Compulsory  Arbitration."  1  Two  more  League 
Contests  were  held  on  May  3.  Marian  Neustadt  and  John  Rosenblatt  debated  Girls'  High;  For- 
rest Cobb  and  Frank  Gllllo  fought  Polytechnic.  The  subject  for  both  was.  Resolved,  "That  a  com- 
plete and  mandatory  embargo  be  placed  against  all  belligerents."  1  Robert  Dawson  won  the 
Crusaders'  Contest  with  his  brilliant  oration  on  Americanism.  This  is  only  the  third  of  these  ora- 
torical contests  —  the  first  being  won  by  Lowell's  Carol  Channing;  and  once  again  Lowell  has 
captured  the  title  through  the  merits  of  Robert  Dawson.  1  Lowell  won  five  of  the  nine  trophies  at 
the  State  College  Debating  Tournament  on  May  6:  first  place  debating,  Pearl  Steiner  and  Don 
Minkler;  first  extempore.  Pearl  Steiner;  second  extempore,  Jerome  Kilty;  third  extempore,  Donald 
Minkler;  second  oratory,  Frank  Gillio:  third  oratory,  Ellen  Shank.  Lowell  also  won,  for  the  third  con- 
secutive year,  the  "Grand  Sweepstakes  Trophy"  for  more  tournament  points  than  any  other  school. 
On  May  20  the  Central  California  Oratorical  and  Debating  League  held  Its  tournament  on  Treas- 
ure Island;  the  Stockton  tournament  closed  all  tournaments  for  another  splendid  debating  semester 
for  Lowell.    Results  of  these  tournaments  are  not  known  at  press  time.

WORKING  ESPECIALLY  hard  this  term  to  put  out  a  special  edition 
of  "The  Lowell,"  entailing  much  research  into  Lowell's  illustrious  his- 
tory,  "The  Lowell"  staff  deserves  much  acclamation.  A  vote  was 
J  -y  taken  throughout  the  entire  student  body  to  determine  how  many 

^^^     ^T^^^  would  purchase  such  an  issue  and  approximately  75  per  cent  were 

^^^^  ^1^^^  interested.  1  Editor  Gavin  hligh  had  no  easy  job  on  his  hands  and 
should  be  sincerely  congratulated  on  his  never-tiring  and  most  fruit- 
ful attempts  to  make  this  paper  worthwhile.  Miss  E.  M.  Osborn,  as 
faculty  adviser,  gave  her  usual  experienced  help  to  the  staff,  and  it  would  have  been 
very  difficult  to  do  without  the  assistance  of  Muriel  Trendt,  assistant  editor.  ■]  Special 
staff  assignments  were  most  capably  handled  by  staff  veterans:  Ben  Parkinson,  Sports 
Editor;  Katinka  Gallin,  Girls'  Sports  Editor;  Robert  Rockwell,  Circulation  Manager; 
Claire  Ridgway,  articles  to  the  "San  Francisco  News";  Marjorie  Wilson,  Staff  Typist. 
Much  credit  is  due  the  reporters  who  knew  and  wrote  everything  that  was  of  interest 
to  or  which  concerned  Lowell.  ■[  A  new  column  appeared  this  term,  "Lowell  Day  by 
Day,"  written  by  Richard  Noah,  and  was  heartily  received.  Additional  features  were 
the  ever  popular  "Tepee  Tattle  Tales,"  in  charge  of  Roberta  Falen;  "Exchanges,"  under 
Dorothy  Lee;  and  "The  Letter  Box,"  with  answers  by  the  editor.

lODAY  A  MAGIC  CITY  further  enhances  the  picturesque  beauty  of  San 
Francisco  Bay.  Set  in  the  middle  of  our  bridge-spanned  harbor,  Treasure  Island 
displays  her  breath-taking  loveliness.  The  whole  setting  is  awe-inspiring;  vast 
San  Francisco  Bay  almost  inclosed  by  hills,  arched  by  the  two  bridges,  enshrines 
a  man-made  island  on  which  a  fairy  tale  of  beauty  is  presented.  From  all  over 
the  world  creators  in  every  line  imaginable  have  been  brought  to  the  Fair  to 
lend  their  talents  toward  the  perfection  of  our  Exposition.  Inspired  landscaping 
has  made  it  a  garden  by  day;  electricity  has  made  it  a  jewel  by  night.  As  San 
Franciscans  we  are  privileged  and  justly  proud  to  have  such  a  spectacle  bearing 
the  name  of  our  own  Golden  Gate,  for  it  contains  not  only  many  beautiful  ex 
hiblts,  but  also  much  that  is  of  educational  and  entertainment  value.

FEATURING  SUCH  PLAYERS  as  All-City  Pete  Debs  and  Dave  Thurm,  veterans  Ed  Cerf.  Hov/ard 
Dallmar,  Paul  Harless,  Bill  Joslyn,  and  Joe  Marron,  the  highly  favored  Lowell  cagers.  under  the  peer- 
less coaching  of  Ben  Neff,  fought  their  way  to  a  fifth  straight  AAA  hoop  championship.  ^  Lowell 
breezed  by  Balboa,  31-16,  in  the  League  opener,  "j  A  stubborn  defensive  Polytechnic  quintet  was  met 
in  the  midst  of  a  mild  "ice  cream  cone"  proselyting  scandal,  and  the  Cards  were  defeated  for  the  first 
time  in  three  seasons  by  the  score  of  22-20.  A  basket  in  the  last  30  seconds  brought  Poly  the  victory. 
1  In  their  next  tilt  Lowell  met  a  fighting  Saint  Ignatius  team  and  succeeded  in  coming  out  on  top  after 
playing  a  ragged  game,  16-13.  1  Led  by  Dave  Thurm,  who  swished  7  points  through  the  hoop,  the 
Indians  went  into  the  "crucial"  against  Sacred  Heart  to  win  21-1  I.  A  ten-minute  stall  and  a  riot  were 
the  highlights  of  the  game.  1  In  the  Mission  tussle  the  Lowell  "untouchables"  played  their  first  previously 
canceled  game,  employing  a  much  faster  game  than  in  previous  encounters  and  shellacked  the  Bears, 
31-18.  1  The  Commerce  Bulldogs  were  the  next  to  face  the  Indians  but  they,  too,  fell  before  the  superior 
Neffmen  to  the  tune  of  21-20.  In  this  game,  Paul  Harless  showed  that  he  was,  along  with  Dallmar,  one  of 
the  most  promising  ball  players  for  the  1940  varsity,  "j  Pressing  forward  at  top  speed,  our  casaba  tossers 
practically  walked  out  of  Kezar  with  the  championship  in  their  hip  pocket  when  they  defeated  Galileo. 
27-17.  Howie  Dallmar  and  Eddie  Cerf  starred  both  defensively  and  offensively.  ^  Then  came  the  all 
important  Washington  game.  The  Lowell  student  body  and  team  were  filled  with  enthusiasm  and  spirit 
for  this  game  and  were  out  to  win.  Every  man  on  the  team  was  out  to  beat  the  Eagles  and  as  a  result 
Lowell  came  home  with  a  victory  and  a  fifth  straight  championship.  The  team  played  its  best  game  of 
the  season  and  ran  up  the  score  to  30-23.  Every  man  on  the  squad  saw  action.  Smooth-playing  Pete 
Delos,  dominating  the  Cardinal  team  play,  closed  a  brilliant  Lowell  basketball  career  spectacularly.  Dallmar, 
playing  his  best  game  to  date,  showed  individual,  spectacular  rebounding  work.  He,  Delos  and  Cerf 
shared  high  point  honors  with  eight  apiece.  This  victory  officially  gave  Lowell  the  1939  prep  basketball 
championship.  •]  In  their  pre-season  games,  the  Lowellites  won  21  out  of  23  practice  tilts.  Included  in 
their  triumphs  were  the  California  and  Stanford  Freshmen.  Cerf  gave  a  flawless  exhibition  of  dribbling 
in  the  Stanford  game.  In  League  games  the  Lowell  cagers  rolled  up  a  total  of  197  points  to  their  op- 
ponents' 140.  ^  Capable  substitutes  were  Bob  Arnold,  Jake  Battat,  Bob  Cherry,  Ward  Ericcson,  Ward 
Lame,  Edward  Lee,  Wayne  Marsh,  Bob  Paulson  and  Ed  Russell.  They  all  held  up  the  basketball  stand- 
ards of  Lowell  and  showed  possibilities  of  bringing  the  sixth  straight  championship  to  Lowell  and  Benny 
Neff  in  1940.

REVIEWING  THE  VARSITY  basketball  season  through  the  statistical  end  of  the  race  we  find  many  in- 
teresting facts  proving  Lowell's  superiority  on  the  hardwoods.  Through  the  game  schedule,  Lowell  rolled 
up  a  total  of  197  points,  second  highest  by  team  scoring  in  the  League.  Seventy-seven  field  goals  and 
43  shots  from  the  free  throw  line  made  up  the  total.  The  average  points  scored  by  the  Indians  per  game 
was  about  25,  a  comfortable  margin  over  their  opponents'  18.  Lowell's  25  point  average  is  nothing  to 
brag  about  but  when  they  can  keep  their  opponents'  average  below  20  they  should  be  competent  for 
any  high  school  league.  Our  cagers  were  also  second  in  the  least  number  of  fouls  committed.  They 
fouled  about  8  times  a  game  for  a  total  of  65.  1  Turning  now  to  the  individual  statistics  of  our  players 
we  give  praise  to  Pete  Delos,  Dave  Thurm,  Howie  Dallmar  and  Eddie  Cerf  for  their  super  ball  playing. 
The  following  is  a  glance  at  each  of  these  players'  season.  All-City  Pete  Delos  accounted  for  20  field 
goals  and  12  fouls  for  a  total  of  53  points  which  was  high  for  the  team  and  fifth  in  League  standings. 
Delos  was  the  best  all-around  player  on  the  team  and  was  noted  for  his  ruggedness,  coolness,  and 
scoring  ability.  At  the  other  forward  position  was  Eddie  Cerf  with  18  field  goals  and  8  free  throws,  44 
points  In  all,  for  a  good  average  for  any  ball  player.  Cerf  was  the  hardest  man  to  stop  because  of 
his  speed  and  tricky  dribbling,  which  incidentally  practically  won  a  couple  of  our  tight  ball  games  for  us. 
Howie  Dallmar  scored  36  points  during  the  season  for  a  good  scoring  average,  but  did  most  of  his  work 
by  rebounding  and  recovering  the  ball  for  our  team.  Dallmar  will  be  the  mainstay  of  the  team  next 
year.  Dave  Thurm,  another  All-City  player,  was  one  of  the  most  valuable  players  on  the  team.  His 
stellar  defensive  work,  his  ability  to  play  as  a  team  player,  earned  him  a  starting  position  and  All-City 
recognition.  He  made  40  points,  a  very  good  quota  for  a  guard.  Another  first  string  man  was  Bill  Joslyn, 
who  was  out  a  part  of  the  season  because  of  injuries,  but  did  much  to  help  his  team  with  his  rugged- 
ness, rebounding  ability,  and  his  co-operative  playing.  Delos,  Cerf.  Dallmar,  Thurm  and  Joslyn  com- 
posed the  original  starting  line-up,  but  when  Joslyn  was  out,  Joe  Marron,  Ward  Lame  and  Paul  Harless 
alternated  for  him.  ^  The  season  should  not  be  forgotten  without  saying  a  word  for  the  excellent  coach- 
ing of  Ben  Neff.  "Benny"  spent  his  time  after  school  every  day  coaching  the  team  and  was  really  over  half 
the  reason  that  Lowell  won  another  championship.  All  through  the  "Ice  Cream  Cone"  scandal,  "Benny" 
had  regular  practice  and  showed  his  willingness  to  play  any  team  in  the  League.  Peaches  and  Cream  to 
Benny  Neff  for  his  hard  work  and  good  spirit,  for  that's  the  kind  of  a  coach  a  school  likes  and  we  do  like 
"Our  Benny."

ALTHOUGH  NOT  A  championship  quinfet,  the  Lowell  30's  boasted  a  determined,  spirited,  and  well 
organized  team.  The  Individual  stars  were  All-City  Tommy  McCarty  and  "Fighting  Terry"  Kilpatrick, 
the  only  seniors  on  the  team.  McCarty  and  Kilpatrick  occupied  regular  starting  positions,  with  Leo 
Doyle,  Ed  Goldstein,  John  Owen,  Carl  Raaka,  and  Bobby  Troppmann  alternating  at  the  other  posts. 
1  The  30's  opened  their  season  against  Balboa  and  the  outlook  was  very  dark  as  they  went  into  the 
short  end  of  a  9-0  score.  But  the  game  wasn't  over  at  that  time  and  in  the  second  half  the  rejuvenated 
team  put  the  ball  through  the  mesh  from  all  angles  and  won  out  in  the  end,  16- 12.  The  team  as  a  whole 
worked  together  and  pulled  the  game  out  of  the  fire.  1  The  30-lb.  hoopsters  then  met  their  traditional 
rivals — Polytechnic.  The  pressure  was  on  in  this  game,  but  the  Papooses  won,  22-15.  McCarty  put  the 
ball  through  the  net  six  times  and  added  a  free  throw  for  13  points  for  high  point  honors.  ^  The  light- 
weights then  ho-hummed  to  victories  over  Saint  Ignatius  and  Sacred  Heart,  34-31  and  35-34,  respec- 
tively. 1  In  what  was  expected  to  be  a  "thriller"  our  30's  played  their  best  game  of  the  season  and 
trounced  Mission,  40-26.  McCarty  tanked  13  points.  1  In  the  biggest  upset  of  the  season  in  the  light- 
weight division,  Lowell  was  defeated  by  Commerce,  19-18.  Kilpatrick's  field  goal  with  20  seconds  to 
go  went  as  just  another  two  points  as  Commerce  put  one  through  the  hoop  to  put  them  one  point  in 
the  lead  just  as  the  gun  sounded.  1  After  this,  the  defeat  to  Lowell  at  the  hands  of  Galileo  walked  away 
with  Lowell's  championship  hopes.  The  score  was  27-20.  ^  The  Washington  game  was  the  final  game  of 
the  season  and  on  the  outcome  depended  the  Papooses'  second  place  standing.  Led  by  forward  Carl 
Raaka  with  9  points,  the  Papooses  defeated  the  fighting  Eaglet  quintet,  20-18,  in  a  last  second  thriller. 
Behind  a  few  points  throughout  the  game,  Johnny  Owen  tanked  a  foul  to  knot  the  count  at  18-18. 
McCarty  intercepted  the  ball  which  was  in  the  Eaglet's  possession,  passed  to  Doyle,  who  fed  to  Raaka. 
In  the  clear,  Raaka,  in  the  "come  thru"  role,  swished  a  35  footer  through  the  mesh  to  bring  Lowell  a 
victory  and  a  second  place  in  the  League.  1  The  30's  ran  up  a  total  of  205  points  to  their  opponents' 
162.  They  won  18  out  of  20  practice  tilts.  Frank  Wigmore,  a  sophomore,  and  Harry  Swift  were  very 
competent  players  and  were  paced  by  Mac  Ashton,  Dean  Bush,  Ed  Eassa,  and  Jimmie  Ray  to  round 
out  the  30's  squad.

FOLLOWING  A  FAIRLY  successful  practice  season,  hurlers  Garcia  and  Lame,  coached  by  "Mike" 
Voyne,  led  Lowell  nine  to  the  Shaughnessy  League  Championships  after  defeating  six  out  of  eight 
schools.  1  Washington  first  met  the  Cardinals'  hard  hitting  batters,  and  were  downed  15-8  on  March 
14.  Garcia,  Lame,  and  Delos  pitched,  with  sophomore  Paulson  backstopplng.  1  Championship  hopes 
fell  March  21,  when  St.  Ignatius  trounced  the  Indians  8-1.  The  Ignatians  held  Lowell  to  three  hits,  two 
being  Lame's.  Selleck  was  walked,  Cherry  hit  a  single  and  Kranich  sacrificed  so  Selleck  could  score. 
1  On  March  24,  Balboa  set  back  the  Indian  nine,  4-2.  Although  Lame  peppered  the  Pirates  for  seven 
strikeouts,  poor  fielding  yielded  four  runs,  hlitters  were  Dallmar,  Kranich,  Paulson,  and  Selleck.  1  In  a 
fast  and  loose  game,  the  Cards  eked  a  10-9  victory  over  Sacred  Heart,  March  27.  Lame,  on  the 
mound  for  three  Innings,  was  batted  out  of  the  box;  Garcia,  taking  over,  knocked  a  "homer"  deep  into 
left  field  for  three  runs,  and  in  the  sixth  Cherry  made  a  winning  three  bagger.  Next  to  meet  the  Cardinal 
onslaught  was  Poly,  March  30,  where  Cherry,  Dallmar,  Delos,  Ken  Silva,  Russell,  and  Paulson  collected 
hits  to  win,  10-2.  1  Again  "hot,"  they  defeated  Commerce  6-1,  April  I  I.  Selleck  led  the  barrage  with 
two  hits  as  Lame  held  Commerce  to  one  run.  "j  Lowell  was  the  only  team  able  to  defeat  Galileo.  On 
April  14  a  constant  succession  of  hits  made  possible  a  13-6  score.  1  April  IB,  in  their  final  Leaguer,  the 
Cards  defeated  Mission,  6-5,  cinching  a  place  in  the  playoffs.  Lame  and  Garcia  traded  off  in  the  box. 
At  bat,  Delos  smacked  the  longest  "homer"  this  season  to  tie  it  at  three  all  in  the  third.  In  the  fifth, 
Lowell  won  on  Mission  errors.  1  Meeting  Galileo  in  the  playoffs,  April  20,  the  Cards  took  an  8-6  victory. 
Behind,  6-2,  at  the  sixth,  they  acquired  two  runs,  and  in  the  seventh  Kranich  started  a  four  run  rally  to 
victory.  •]  Lion  championship  hopes  were  definitely  broken  April  22  when  the  Indians  won,  10-7,  in  a  bat- 
ting spree.  Starring,  Dallmar  scored  a  "homer"  and  a  couple  of  singles.  1  The  championship  had  not 
been  decided  when  this  journal  went  to  press,  but  Lowell,  originally  not  conceded  a  chance,  by  sheer 
batting  power,  broke  into  the  playoffs.  1  Jim  Cunha  played  a  steady  game  at  second  all  season.  Show- 
ing promise  for  next  year  are  Dean   Marchucci  and  Paul  Harless.

Upper  Row — Capt.  Good  "talces"  Gordon  Lee  of  Lakeport  in  ttieir  practice   meet.    Johnny   Meier  heads  Provost  of  Commerce  in  the  low  hurdles. 

Lowtr  Row — Ben  Silva  wins  a  close  100  from  Bartlett  of  Commerce  with  Korn   (Mission)  and  Cressy  (Balboa)  third  and  fourth.    Capt.  Good  sprints  hard  to 

beat   Dreher   (S.I.)   and   CliH   (Poly). 

WITH  STALWART  GEORGE  CANFIELD  setting  the  pace,  the  Lowell  track  team  defeated  Com- 
merce to  \aVe  the  City  Championship,  for  the  first  time  in  seven  years,  5M/2-48,  at  Kezar  Stadium 
on  April  29.  1  Canfield  was  high  point  man  with  91/2  points,  when  he  won  the  pole  vault,  came 
from  behind  to  take  a  second  in  the  440,  took  fourth  in  the  220  and  ran  a  lap  on  the  second  place 
relay  team.  Pete  DeVries  garnered  8  points  when  he  won  the  high  jump,  and  was  second  in  the 
high  hurdles.  Bill  Joslyn  won  the  discus  and  took  third  in  the  shot  put  to  make  7  points.  Stanley 
Bernhard  was  second  in  the  discus  and  shot  put,  acquiring  6.  Johnny  Meier  was  another  surprise 
"come  through"  when  he  tied  for  second  in  the  high  jump,  was  second  in  the  low  hurdles,  and  ran 
on  the  relay  team,  accounting  for  6  tallies.  Gene  Clark  won  the  mile  handily,  getting  5  points. 
Next  was  Chase  Gregory  with  41/2.  which  he  made  when  he  took  thirds  in  the  low  and  high  hurdles, 
and  ran  a  lap  on  the  relay  team.  Hoffmann  and  Tibbs  made  3  and  I  points,  respectively,  in  the 
broad  jump  and  shot  put.  Capt.  Good,  Silva,  and  Ellis  each  made  '/j  point  when  they  ran  on  the 
relay  team.  1  The  Cards'  varsity  track  team  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  school  won  every

game,  when  Lowell  scored  75  2/3  points  to  the  36  1/3  of  Burlingame.    Bob  Curley,  in  winning  the 
440,  defeated  the  P.A.L.  champ,    "j    Next  came  Balboa  on  February  23,  who  was  whipped  to  sub- 
mission by  a  score  of  70-39.    1   Jefferson  was  thoroughly  trounced  next  when  the  Red  and  White 
won  98-5  on  March  3.    1   Santa  Rosa  fell  before  the  speedy  harriers  on  March  17,  77  2/3-36  1/3. 
Capt.  George  Good  turned  in  the  speediest  times  for  the  century  and  220,  up  to  this  part  of  the 
season,  and  Clark  turned  in  the  fastest  time:  4  min.,  40  sec,  for  the  mile,    "j    Piedmont  was  next  to 
bow  before  the  Cardinal  aggregation,  March  24,  67-37.   Bernhard,  the  rugged  shot  putter,  put  the 
shot  50'  2"  which  is  very  good  for  these  parts.    1  In  our  "Big  Meet"  with  Commerce  on  March  23, 
a  real  thriller  occurred,  when,  in  the  final  lap  of  the  relay,  Capt.  Good  came  from  behind  to  tie  the 
great  Commerce  ace,  Bartlett,  and  "sew  up"  the  meet  at  561/2  ^"-   Other  commendable  services 
rendered  by  Card  men  were  Meier,  who  was  only  l/IO  off  the  city  record,  in  the  low  hurdles;  De 
Vries,  who  was  y^"  off  the  record  in  the  high  jump,  and  Clark,  who  again  turned  in  the  speedy 
time  of  4  min.  40  sec.  for  the  mile.  1  Poly  was  defeated  April  14,  87-26.    Starring  was 
Canfield,  who  pole  vaulted   12  feet  6  inches,  to  break  the  Lowell  record  of  I  I  feet  6 
inches.  1  Last  to  oppose  the  Indian  fury  was  Vallejo,  April  19,  where  they  were  defeated, 
721/2-401/2-  1  Canfield  proved  to  be  the  most  versatile  man  on  the  team  during  the 
season  when  he  ran  the  220,  440,  a  lap  on  the  relay  team,  pole  vaulted  and  sometimes 
broad  jumped.    Bob  Curley  was  a  possible  point  winner  this  year  In  the  440,  but  due  to 
an  injury  was  not  able  to  run,  although  he  turned  in  some  good  performances  during 
the  early  season.    Qualifying,  but  not  placing,  in  the  A. A. A.  meet,  were  Capt.  Good 
In  the   100  and  220,  Chapman,  Halt,  and  Douglas  in  the  mile,  Ellis  In  the  440,  Sllva  in 
the  220,   DeVries  in  the  low  hurdles,  Clark,  Johnston,  Douglas,  and  Wakefield  In  the 
880.    Much  credit  is  due  to  Coach  Harris,  who  whipped  these  boys  into  shape  during 
the  fall  and   then  trained  them  diligently  during  the  spring,    "j   George  Klemmer  of 
Galileo  and  Jack  Delaney  of  Sacred  Heart  turned  in  marvelous  A. A. A.  performances. 
Klemmer  ran  a  49.5  440  and  a  2:00.7  880,  setting  new  city  records.    Delaney  threw  the 
shot  58  feet  4I/2   Inches,   setting  a   new  record  and  missing  the  national  high  school 
mark  by  51/2  Inches,  "j  The  team  point  summary  of  the   1939  A.A.A.  is:  Lowell,  5 1 1/2; 
Commerce,  48;  Galileo,  10;  Sacred  Heart,  8;  Polytechnic,  6;  St.  Ignatius,  5'/2:  George 
Washington,  5;  Balboa,  4I/2;  Mission,  4I/2.  As  there  are  not  too  many  track  graduates, 
Lowell  again  should  be  high  in  the  total  next  year.

THE  VARSITY,  with  only  three  veterans,  Bob  Elliott,  Clark 
Grant  and  Bob  Palmer,  undertook  the  tremendous  task  of 
building  a  strong,  dependable  crew.  With  the  aid  of  "Doc" 
Fast,  coach,  and  hiarvey  Retry,  manager,  this  job  was  ac- 
complished. 1  Those  who,  after  three  months  of  practice, 
proved  themselves  worthy  of  the  first  boat  were,  on  the  star- 
board, stroke.  Bob  Palmer;  5,  Captain  Clark  Grant;  4,  Bob 
Elliott;  3,  Don  McGinn;  2,  George  Conradi;  bow,  George 
Backman,  and  on  the  port,  stroke,  Clayton  Calander;  5,  Don 
Welcome;  4,  Dick  Culver;  3,  Dick  Eustace;  2,  Frank  Masten; 
bow,  Howard  Brose.  Strong  substitutes  were  Stan  Bernhard 
and  Bill  Royal.  Bruce  Bonner  was  cox  and  Alex  Vladlmiroff 
was  pilot.  1  The  first  race  was  against  Galileo  on  April  22. 
This  was  a  first  race  for  many  of  the  fellows  but  despite  this 
strain,  the  newcomers  did  well.  They  held  a  pace  all  along  the 
course  but  Galileo's  more  experienced  crew  finally  came 
through  with  a  victory  of  one  length.  1  On  the  6th  of  May, 
the  Varsity  met  St.  Ignatius  and  in  spite  of  a  valiant  attempt 
the  Saints  proved  too  much  for  the  Indians.  They  passed  the 
finish  line  4  lengths  ahead.  1  This  book  went  to  press  before 
the  Cards  had  met  either  Mission  or  Balboa.  "Doc"  Fast 
favors  Lowell  to  take  the  Bears  because  of  better  timing.  The 
Balboa  race  seems  to  be  a  toss  up;  critics,  however,  pick 
Balboa  to  take  the  championship.  ^  With  seven  members 
of  the  first  varsity  boat  and  nine  from  this  year's  30's  ex- 
pected back,  hopes  are  high  for  the   1940  championship.

UNDER  THE  COACHING  of  "Doc"  Fast  and  the  managing 
of  Norman  Jaslow,  the  30's,  with  only  George  Simmons,  Willis 
Hitchcock  and  Bruce  Sutherland  as  veterans,  practiced  hard 
and  long  at  Yacht  Harbor,  both  morning  and  evening,  to 
develop  a  sturdy  crew.  1  At  the  end  of  three  months  prac- 
tice, the  first  boat  was  announced  as:  port  side,  stroke,  Cap- 
tain George  Simmons:  5,  Willis  Hitchcock;  4,  Jim  Montrose: 
3,  Fred  Beaver:  2,  Tom  Strel:  bow,  Edward  Pringle;  starboard: 
stroke,  Bruce  Sutherland;  5,  Noel  Reyburn;  4,  Jack  Geary;  3, 
Fred  Sandrock;  bow,  George  Hagg.  Alex  Vladimiroff  was 
coxswain  and  Herbert  Salinger  pilot,  f  The  30's  first  met 
Galileo  in  what  proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  thrilling  races 
of  the  season.  Galileo  first  took  the  lead  but  was  soon  over- 
taken and  passed  by  the  Cards  at  the  three-quarter  mark. 
At  this  point  Lowell  lost  all  ground  gained  because  of  the 
obstruction  of  a  buoy.  The  Indians,  after  averting  the  buoy, 
picked  up  on  the  Lions  but  not  enough  to  catch  the  leaders. 
Galileo  won  by  one-quarter  of  a  length.  1  On  May  6,  Lowell 
was  severely  crushed  by  St.  Ignatius  which  seems  to  be  point- 
ing to  the  championship.  ^  This  book  went  to  press  before 
the  races  with  Sacred  Heart  and  Balboa.  In  these  contests 
the  Indians  are  heavy  favorites  to  take  Sacred  Heart's  Irish, 
but  experts  pick  Balboa  to  take  the  Cards  in  the  last  race  of 
the  season.  Nine  of  the  30's  will  vie  with  the  7  varsity  veterans 
for  seats  in  next  year's  varsity  boat.

THE  CARDINAL  LARRUPfRS,  Lowell's  most  consistent  champions,  won  the  top  spot  again, 
May  I  at  Ingleside,  when  Alf  Farren's  71  and  Charles  Manning's  76  led  the  field  and  helped  edge 
out  Polytechnic  by  three  strokes.  Farren's  steady  playing  accounted  for  the  lowest  qualifying  score 
ever  shot  in  the  prep  tournament.  Manning,  pre-tournament  favorite,  missed  his  chances  in  the 
first  nine,  but  coming  back  shot  a  low  score.  George  Brown,  state  junior  champ,  tied  for  third  with 
Pabst  and  Kamper  of  Poly,  who  shot  77,  this  boosting  Lowell's  score.  Stewart  Smith  completed  the 
four  lowest  Lowell  scores  with  84.  Schwartz  was  next  with  an  85,  Zamlock  an  88.  Truede,  Hale  and 
Wilson  followed  with  96,  97  and  100.  Others  who  were  on  the  golf  ladder  but  didn't  play  in  the 
tournament  were  Hartford,  Havey,  Farrell  and  Riordan.  1  Coach  Voyne  scheduled  meets  with  the 
California  and  Stanford  Frosh  and  some  of  the  junior  colleges,  which  went  poorly  for  the  golfers. 
Next  year  Farrell,  Farren,  Hartford,  Smith,  and  Truede  are  back,  and  the  championship  for  the 
third  consecutive  year  looks  slim,  but  Coach  Voyne  is  on  the  lookout  for  "young  hopefuls."  1  Total 
team  scores  are:  Lowell,  310:  Polytechnic,  313:  George  Washington,  332:  Sacred  Heart,  336:  and 
St.  Ignatius,  365.

THE  CARD  NET  STARS  were  slated  for  another  A.  A.  A.  tennis  championship,  when  it  was  played 
May  15-20,  but  the  tourney  wasn't  completed  at  the  time  this  journal  went  to  press.  ^  The  net- 
sters  who  played  singles  in  the  tournament  were  Carl  Livingston,  Jim  Livingstone,  Ted  Myers,  Harry 
Likas  and  Joe  Greely.  In  the  doubles  it  was  Roche  and  Buttimer,  last  year's  champs,  Kuhn,  Mc- 
Donough,  Hartwig,  Pennel,  Cunha,  and  Capt.  Foff.  "j  Against  the  Standard  Frosh  these  stellar 
players  lost  in  a  closely  contested  match,  5  to  4.  Six-  single  sets  and  three  doubles  were  played, 
with  Harry  Buttimer,  Harry  Roche,  Jim  Livingstone,  Carl  Livingston,  Joseph  Greely  and  Ted 
Myers  representing  Lowell.  1  No  one  represented  Lowell  at  the  Ojai  Valley  Tournament  on  April 
27,  28  and  29,  which  was  won  by  Harry  Lllcas  for  boys  und.er  15  last  year,  but  Lowell  was  ably  rep- 
resented at  Bay  Region  tournaments.  1  Although  Carl  Livingston,  Art  Foff,  and  Harry  Likas  are 
graduating,  Harry  Roche,  Harry  Buttimer,  Jim  Livingstone,  Ted  Myers,  Joe  Greely,  Rudy  Kuhn, 
"Dick"  McDonough  and  many  others  will  form  a  very  good  nucleus  for  Coach  Kitchen  to  work 
for  a  possible  championship  next  year.

by  participating  in  at  least  one  of  eight  sports.  This  organization  had  a  fine  term  under  the 
leadership  of  President  Priscilla  Finley,  Secretary  Betty  Stoffers,  and  Clerk  of  Awards  June  Meese. 
A  Girls'  Jinx,  May  12,  and  a  supper  at  the  end  of  the  term  were  enjoyed.  1  Fifty-five  girls,  who
