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.
DfDICflllOn
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
for a friendly greeting.

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.

Chapter
fl Hfleic isLflfio IS borh
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.

Upholding our high standards in debating, Forrest Cobb, Richard Cohn, Selma Cornet, Robert Dawson, Joseph
Friedman, Donald Minkler, and John Rosenblatt, Society President, and San Francisco Debating League Presi-
dent, spoke for Lowell. Thespians Jean Arnold, Yvonne Cyr, Priscilla Finley, Dorothy Fltzpatrick, President of the

boards of the Lowell stage. Donald Peters took second place for Lowell in the All-City Shakespearean contest;

titions. He covered himself, his school and his city with glory by becoming the one among 15,000 high school

beth Baget won first place in the competition with all the high school students of San Francisco for her essay on

were Captain Adjutant Richard Callaghan, Captains Forrest Cobb, Roland Ghiselli, Gavin hiigh, and Marshall

Mendelson was a lightweight track captain.
Switching from studies to a lighter vein, the erstwhile High Four's held their semi-annual Senior Day. and having
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.
30
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.

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.

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.

PflfifnT-TfflCHfli flSSOCIflllOfI
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

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-

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.

guarding.
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.

CAPT, GEORGE GOOD
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
meet this season. The first to fall before the Indians was Burlingame on February I I, at Burlin-

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.

LED BY AN UNBEATABLE 130 lb. squad, the lightweight mermen swept to their second consecu-
tive A. A. A. title at Fleishhacker on May 6, garnering 127 points, to 47 of Poly, their nearest com-
petitor. 1 The varsity, came in fifth with 16 tallies. Poly, Galileo, George Washington and St.
Ignatius coming before, hiunter. Hall and Lowe took a first in the medley relay. Hall was a third
and Threllfall a fifth in the breaststroke, and Hunter a fourth in the "back." 1 In the I 30 division of
the lightweights, record breakers were: Beanston in the 100 yd. freestyle and the medley relay of
Keller, Heyman and Beanston. Other firsts were Levy in the 50 yd. crawl, Keller in the back and the
4 man relay team of Gilkey, Middleton, DeLano and Levy. Those placing were: DeLano third in the
50, Grannis second and Heyman fourth in the breaststroke, Gilkey and Middleton third in the 100
free and 50 back. The medley relay of Shragge, Scheidt and Dickson established a record, "j In
the 20's Shragge was first in the backstroke. Dickson third in the 50 free, Trautz fourth and Scheidt
fifth in the breaststroke and the 4 man relay of Bloch, Aoki, Hoppe and Selchau third. 1 Bolster in
the 110 lb. division swam the 50 and 100 in record time. And the medley relay was the only team
entered, thereby setting a record. Larson, Modlin and Knox composed it. Larson won the back-
stroke and Knox was second. Modlin was second in the breaststroke and the 4 man relay of Fay,
Samuel, Hebbron and Holmberg was second. 1 Under Coach Kitchen's supervision the '30's
completed an undefeated practice season against Berkeley, Tamalpais, Sequoia, Palo Alto, Ga-
lileo and San Mateo, pointing the way to a championship varsity next year. The A. A. A. adopted
the N. C. A. A. rules, thereby receiving five places instead of four.

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.

Peterson of the Walter J. Mann Co., and Mr. Robert
Abarta and Mr. Wm. P. Cariile of the Borden Printing Co.,
Inc., for their painstaking care in the engraving and printing
of this book; Mr. and Mrs. John Doherty of Fisher Studios for
their vifholehearted co-operation and good photography; Miss
hiarrlson and Mrs. Miller for the use of their offices; Mr. Curts
and Mr. Tucker for recording and auditing our financial ac-
counts; Mr. Barker, the Camera Club and Marylee Callow for
their candid camera snaps; The San Francisco "Examiner" for
the loan of basketball action shots: the editor of the "Lowell"

Kuhnle, Mr. McCord, Miss FHerrmann, the members of our
hard-working staff, and to the many others whose bit has
made this book possible, I gratefully extend my appreciation.
Without the ability and enthusiasm of our Art Staff we would
not have had the little clay modeled figures that appear op-
posite each division page.
