Student Body Officers:
A Collection of
Diversified Activists
BILL COSDEN
Bill Cosdeu, Lowell's newly elected
student body president, has already
thrown himself into the execution
of nis new duties. He works
on student body business every day
before and after school and during
his lunch period.
His joH is to head the Executive
Board, carry on the general business
of the school, and representing Lowell
to the community. The latter part
of his duties is, according to Bill,
"the most challenging and nerv s
wracking," for he represents all of
Lowell.
Bill hopes to establish more student
participation in all school activities
stimulated by giving each class
officer more responsibilities. He is
aiming for school unity through class
projects. He wants to activate the
Block L and to establish more respect
for the Shield and Scroll societies.
As well as carrying out the duties
cf president, Bill is on our tennis
team and is a shoe salesman for
Gallon Kamps. He is also the Rotary
Club Boy of the Month.
Bill, who hopes to enter the field
of law, feels that the job of president
gives him an opportunity to "enjoy
people" and to talk with them on a
common basis. He stated that "in
all sincerity, the Lowell students
have elected outstanding kids, every
one capable of doing an exceptoinally
fine job and to set high standards for
future student body officers to follow.

RETROGRESSION?—Val Hoeft and Steve Miller, late of the Twentieth
Century, seemingly step back into time to practice their caveman-cavewoman
routine for the Newcomers Reception.
By VAL HOEFT
After many days of early morning rehearsals, under the expert direction
of Mr. Anino, the Shield and Scroll presented a highly successful Newcomers
Reception on Monday, February 18, during sixth period.
Chris Carrier, Shield president, and Alau Gold, Scroll president started
tho show by introducing the members of each organization. The traditional
Indian War Chant was then sung by the entire group.
Mr. Perino, Miss Poole and Mr. Krytzcr each made a few remarks in
order to acquaint the new students with Lowell's administration.
The traditional fashion show then got underway as Beatniks Karen
Mitchell, Tina Nelson, VVayzel Fuller, Barry Pelzner, Alan Zimmerman
and Mike O'Rand "made the scene."
Those riding in good f olc Tin Lizzy were Hanna Lewinsky, Mike Brodie,
Miini Sherman and Dave Foote.
The razzle dazzle Barbary Coast of the 1850V-again carae to life, with
Barbara Flahaven and Chris Munoz in a shoot-cm-up scene m the old tavern.
Kandotf Fcrrar, Nora Chan and Gary Joe had the Gold Rush fever and
tried their hand at panning for sold, but alas, their success was nil.
Skipping up to the Roaring 20*s, flappers Mary Maurer, and Barbara
Zipser danced with their partners Doug WUlbanks and Arxuand Lara, showing
everyone how the Charleston was really done way back when.
But such times pas? and Lowell High is the scene of gaiety and spirit
Student body members are brought forth including Bill Cosden as yell
leader and Geoff Homolya as a husky football tackle. The familiar call to
-I'uy a game ticket was heard as Eileen Kollman represented the ever-present
Ticket Sellers.
All terms must come to an end and the Senior Piom is a long-awaited
event The King and Queen of any prom could easily be lovely Julie Wuiship
and Roland Dare looking dashing as always.
The next step is a big one and Rita Fung portrayed a beautiful graduate
as she walked proudly to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance.
The fashion show neared its finish as the cave man, Steve Miller, and
cave woman Valerie Hoeft, came forth swinging clubs: at each other with
mighty fury. ; .
.The look "o.( tomorrow was the final' outfit shown, Linda Steinberg
couldn't have looked any prettier in her flashing cardboard box covered -
with tin foil. ,
And thus another fashion show was marked down as history but the reception
was not to end so soon. ' '•
Additional entertainment was supplied by Mike Mirabella, who sang
an original welcome song. Barry Bates was again a sensational hit with
his never ending cleverness.
Included with the newcomers reception was the installation of Student
Body officers. It was a solemn moment as each elected-student accepted
ihc responsibilities of his office.
An afternoon of fun and entertainment was brought to an exciting and
memorable close .The famous Lowell Can Can Dancers came out and really
kicked up a storm. Among these fair lasses the more noticeable dancers .included
Dick Breaux, Melton DeJany, Greg Paraskou, BUI Cosden, John
Rothschild and Steve Douglas. „ -
A short but effective dance was then held in the cafeteria with music
supplied by Bi:an Girard and his combo.

THE LOWELL
Of 104 major job opportunities listed l>y the l*nite»l States
Department of Labor, that of Prime Minister i> not mentioned.
Indeed being Prime Minister in these times is to walk :i precarious
tightrope. While the pay may be high, the jab itself is
not a secure one. Ju-,t ask the Prime Minister of Canada.
John Diefenhakcr is currently (as of this writing) Canada's
PM. He must look upon the fortunes of being PM with wonder.
In. 1957 Diefenbaker swept into office on a tide of conservatism.
His own eiection victory margin and that of his party (the Conservatives
j was the largest ever in any Canadian election.
Everything appeared to be on the up and up for Diefenbaker
and his Conservatives. Vet in only four-plus years the roof fell in.
Diefenbaker preached, among other things, the doctrine of
political, economic, and military independence from the United
States. This factor made him wha: he is today, an insecure Prime
Minister.
The United States, through Secretary of Defense Robert
McXamara, "surgested" Canada defend itself with Amencansupplied
nuclear weapons. Diefenbaker replied with a.curt "no."
But his opponents (namely Liberal Party head Lester Pearson)
wanted Canada so armed. But most of all Diefenbaker*? opponents
didn't want a break in U.S.-Canadian friendship.
But a schism in Canadian government did come about. The
schism eventually forced some of Diefenbaker* s cabinet members
to resign. New elections (because of the dissolving of Farliamem)
were ordered for April. It is entirely conceivable that
Pearson could win the Prime Ministcrshtp.
Xot so long ago. the tale says, there was once a happy Prime
Minister. Unfortunately, the tale did not end with a "he lived
happily after."

Red and White
Mockingbird' Lives Up
To Its Expectations
It may be a sin To Kill a Mockingbird.
But it is a far greater sin to
miss the screen dramatization of this
Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Drab,
obscure settings and black and white
photography leave full spotlight to
the powerfully moving story and the
superb acting of its cast.
Gregory Peck, bespectacled, softspoken
and thoughtful, is most convincing
as Atticus Finch, prominent
lawyer of his small Southern town
and solitary parent to a pair of
strong-willed youngsters. Mary Badham
and Phillip Alford arc as real
in their roles as the tomboy Scout
and the worldly-wise big brother
Jem, as though they lived upstairs or
across the street.
All the vitality, sparkle and wonder
of youth leaps from the pages of
Harper Lee's book into the movements
and expressions of the pair.
And the screen version changes little
of ifiss Lee's plot. Even Hollywood
did not attempt to alter the
dramatic simplicity of;its settings or
natural beauty of Us characters.
The absurdity of racial prejudice
cannot be seen more clearly than
through the eyes of youngsters
searching to find maturity in a world
where this quality is often obscured
by the littleness of people's minds.
It would almost seem that understanding
is lost rather than gained
with age.
For those who have read the book.
To Kill a Mockingbird will not only
deepen the impressions left before,
but create new understandings that
only viewing will allow. For those
who have not had the opportunity
to read the book, the movie will provide
a rare insight lc the unrcvcaled
maturity of children.
THE LOWELL
Stereotypes Can
Lead to 'Dangerous
Mistaken Ideas'
"Doctors arc rich and successful,
calm and cheerful, dedicated and unselfish.
They arc socially active and
usually have preity wives."
Docs this correspond with your
ideas about the medical profession?
If so, you are J» victim of stereotyped
thinking. Most students tend to think
of members of the same profession
as being ilike with the same good
and bad qualities. In other words, as
stereotypes. '
For instance, an accountant is pictured
a* 3-mousy little person, afraid
to live. He is unsuccessful, unsure of
himself, and not too bright. He is
dcomed to hold a boring job with a
low salary. In reality, accountants
arc Visually normal people with their
own individual traits. An accountant
can earn over $50,000 a year and may
become president of a large corporation
or a government official.
Most of the stereotyped ideas
about doctors are just as false. Doctors
don't possess superhuman qualities;
at the end of u tiring day a
doctor can be just as grouchy as
anyone else. While some doctors do
earn upwards of $30,000 a year, the
average doctor earns only $14,000.
This isn't so much when you consider
that every doctor has invested
an average of $12,000 in medical
school after an expensive college degree
and then must serve two years
as an itrcrn earning as little as $75
a month.
Stereotypes are dangerous. Mistaken
ideas about professions may
lead you to choose the wrong job.
High, school is the time when you
begin considering your future career,
so think for yourself and find out
about the professions. Don't except
stereotypes.

Paper hearts and red spotlights
provided an intriguing and romantic
setting for "Heartbeat," Friday evening,
February 15, sponsored by the
H-ll class. :
At least 90 couples were seen
dancing in the cafeteria to the music
of the Tempests.
Lowell's own Andantes were unable
to make their scheduled appearance
but were successfully replaced
by Noah Griffin, student body prexv

"Tonight" and "What I'd Say."
The evening was topped off by the
election of Laurie Rosenman as the
"Heartbeat Queen." Also elected as
Princesses were Sue Chaussc and
Judy Karfoil.
Midway in the dance, speakers
were set up in the court and emcee

Lincoln, respectively.
Heartwarming Tale
'David and Lisa'
A Challenge fo
U. S. Film Makers
The majority of Hollywood producers
seem to feel that the sure way
to have a hit is to film it in color and
star Troy Donahue. It is rare when
a film made here in America can contain
the quality and beauty of a foreign
film, hut David and Lisa manages
to do so, despite the fact that
it was filmed for a mere $200,000 as
the first film of Frank and Eleanor
Perry. Not only does it tell a stirrinff,
heart-warming talc of two neurotic
souls, but it is presented with
such emotional impact that the audience
feels numbly exhausted at the
movie's conclusion.
Winner of the S.F, Film Festival
last year, David and Lisa presents
two characters with such unique
traits that the audience actually feels
itself become part of them. David is
a young adult with the strong fear
that if he is touched he will die and
Lisa is a skitsophremc who has so
lost touch with reality that she speaks
in rhyme and behaves like an eight
year old. Thry meet in a sanitarium
and gradually help each other back
to sanity through patience and understanding.
Instead of laughing,
David rhymes with Lisa thus he
helps in combining her two personalities
and he loses his own phobia
as well.
Although the photography is most
unusual, the sets arc'not, and instead
the audiences centers its attention
completely on the main characters,
suffering along with them. As a
teacher reaches out to touch David,
you can almost feel the a r -Hence stiffen
apprehensively, or as Lisa struggles
to enter a museum after it is
closed, the audience feels exasperated
right along with her.
Millions have been spent by the
film industry to produce movies that
reached out to the audience, with
curved screens and stereophonic
sound, and yet through unique acting
and superb direction, the audience
(Joes join with David and Lisa to
present a most remarkable moviegoing
experience.
To Catch
A Thief
The parking lot, the guardian fortress
of students* automobiles, has
become'a target for auto thieves,
better known in the parlance of the
trade as "boosters."
Within the past two and one-half
months a motor scooter and a Chevy
Tmpala, the latter with a Corvette
engine and floorbox, have been
stolen.
The scooter has not been recovered.
The car has been so recovered
but sans engine, transmission, and
floor box-
The school reiterates its'warning
ti students, to lock their cars and
take their keys with them. Auto
boosting is insignificant until you
become the victim.

"FORWARD MARCH" NO MORE—Lowell's ROTC unit marches in
Uniform under the threatening cloud of June disbandment.
A Campus Book Thai
Isn't Controversial
By BARRY BATES
William Gelding's novel, Lord of
the Flies, is a campus book. It has
been intensively read and discussed
on nearly every prominent college
campus throughout the nation. It is
not a controversial book, therefore
this cannot be the reason for its wide
appeal among young adults. What,
then, is the re-ison?
Lord of the Flies is from cover to
cover a deeply symbolic work, and
the symbolism thereof concerns itself
with a question which, above all,
bothers the new intellectual generation.
As Golding states it, "the moral
is that the shape of a society must
depend on the ethical nature of the
individual and not on any political
system, however apparently logical
or respectable." Goldinjr in this
quote, however, fails to pinpoint the
idea in which the young intelligentsia
believes—that the individual himscir
cannot be elevated to any higher status
by society, that he, when cut off
from his society, will immediately
retrogress into his ancient stigma of
prtmitivencss.
Hut Lord of tlie KHes can be also
an exciting adventure story about
little children marooned on a desert
island. During the Third World War
a p T ,anc crashes on this island, killins;
everyone but the children. One
may observe the children, led by an
a ggressive ten-year-old named Ralph,
form their different tribes and gradually
engender their religion, which
evolves through the superstition incurred
by the body of a dead parachutist.
He is believed-.to be "The
Beast'* which will occasionally come
down from the "Mountain" to accept
a sacrifice.
In the latter part of the novel, the
boys kill wild pigs for meat and leave
their severed heads for The Beast A
pig*s head slowly decays arid draws
flies, and is thusly termed in the
book, a "Lord of the Flics." Incidentally,
the Hebrew word ba^alzevuv_(in-
_Ens!;sh r BceUebub, or Satan) literally
means "iord of insects."
William Golding can rank alongside
Franz Kafka as one of the best
symbolic authors of the century,
i'hou&h Kafka leaves one more bewildered
than uplifted, Golding can
give a reader a better understanding
of tfiae world, and a new sociological
insight.
Lowell's ROTC
Dispersal Uncertain
In a recent interview.. Sgt. Fst. Cl.
James H. Brannon, Lowell High coordinator
of o^r ROTC program,
discloses that/the proposed federal
disbandment of high school ROTC
is as yet uncertain.
Sgt. Brannon, who is currently
substituting for Sgt. Telcsco (tiie latter
in the hospital fcjr a kidney ailment),
pointed out that although
Congress had appropriated no money
for ROTC in their \96A fiscal budget,
nationwide protest may reverse the
decision. At a meeting three \vi-e'uld be reabsorbed by
same. I
Sgt. B cannon believes the present
program to be highly beneficial to
adherents, giving them many "intangibles,"
such as "respect for their
elders" and "discipline." He remarks,
however, that even despite this, the
Lowc|y;uota for ROT Cj enroll ces is
bel=yw. par. anal will be to get chough people to

BARRY BATES
Barry Bates describes the job of
rally commissioner in this way: "It's
a lot of work!" He feels that it is
his job to keep the students interested
in the activities of Lowell through
rallies.
He plans to put the emphasis on
entertainment and will have more
skits. He would like to organize the
Shield and Scroll to keep the students
from under the arcade. Barry
believes that those students in the
back of the court are cut off from
the feeling of unity of the rally.
Barry's chosen professions arc a
Lowe!! is to have his rallies remembered
for a long time. Ha anticipates
either "great satisfaction or remorse"
at the conclusion of his first rally.
Barry's chosen professions arc an
UN interpreter and a street car conductor.

Mr. Xetf, who in the last few years
hasn't had much luck with his teams,
will be leaving a fine young squad,
the only senior being Captain Tim
McAteer. This year's team has an
outside chance of getting into the
playoffs, and «honld do quite well
next year under Stewart.
Since 1925 Tvhen the Academic
Athletic Association was formed,
Neff has brought 11 championships
to Lowell. He has also coached the
Saint Mary's varsity basketball team
from 1948 to 1950.

coach of the San rrancisco Warriors
basketball team and Tom Meschcry,
star from Saint Mary's College, and

Poly Edges Lowell
in Overtime Period
The Academic Athletic Association
saw its first overtime of the
season as Poly won an exciting 50-
45 victory over Lowell Friday. February
8, at Kezar Pavillion.
Poly has a good chanre :>f gabbing
a playoff berth as they picked
up their third win in five games. The
Parrots arc now in fourth place.
Lowell led at the end of the first
quarter, 9-4, and it looked as though
it would be a dull contest as both
teams bad shooting troubles during
tbe first period span.
Hut soon Poly and Lowell caught
fire in the second quarter, and at the
half both teams left for their dressing
rooms tied up at 21 all.
With 42 seconds remaining and
Lowell behind 43-42. Indian guard
Steve Vlautiu. hit a 15-foot set shot
which tied tbe game at 43 all. The
game then went into the 3-minute
overtime period.
Poly, with the loss of star center
Henry King, received a strong performance
from his replacement, Don
Hnglund. Enghiml, (m_* 6-foot 3-inch
pivot man, was tbe day's top hero
as he scored 14 points and picked off
13 rebounds. He also scored four key
points in tbe overtime.
In the lightweight contest Poly
swept past Lowell, 56-45. High potnt
man for tbe Indians was Guiuan with
21 digits.

First of all, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Miss Valley, our
journalism adviser, and the Fall 1962 sports staff for appoint! »K m« sports
editor for the coming term. The assistant sports editor. Hill Graf, and I
will attempt to bring you a complete rundown of all sports activities.
BASEBALL'S LOSS
Many people throughout the baseball world were dealt a severe blow
when the news of Oscar Vitt's death topped the headlines of the morning
papers on January 29. Mr. Vitt was the chief rea.-.m for the success 01 the
Kxaminer baseball school which has given diplomas fo many of the leading
stars in the major leagues. Oscar Vitt was dedicated to this clinic. He devoted
much of his later life to teaching youngster;; the fundamentals of baseball.
BASEBALL SEASON OPENS
For all you baseball fans at Lowell, the varsity baseball team will
be making its reason debut against Lincoln at AVtst Sunset on Wednesday,
March 13.
It appears that baseball at Lowell is not taken as seriously as it is in
other schools throughout the league, lit the past, the attendance at Lowell
baseball games was preposterous. There was an average of about 10 fans
at each game. Plan now to attend and support this title-contending club.
After all, the entrance fee for all game? is free. ;
HOPE FOR HOOPSTERS
The current basketball team, under Hen Neff, is now the surprise
of the league. With the Indians upsetting Mission's highly-rated Bears, I'm
picking Lowell to grab tlat fourth playoff berth. The remaining games are
against second division dubs, with the exception of Saini: Ignatius, and
with the loss of some of thtse team's top stars via graduation, it looks mighty
good for Coach Netf's boosters.

THE LOWELL
Since our handsome hut none 11vivi.1I school openzd last year, there has
hcen a ceaseless (and often pointK-s*) stream of conjecture flowing; it concerns
school tradition. The question posed is essentially this: Now that we
have a nctv building, hew many of the old traditions should we scrap (if
any), and how many new ones (attain if any) should w. establish?
Ans\vcr:Tratl:t!ons are not iiMial1y"c5t;iblish£d," nor are they "sciappcd."
They happen, unless the body who is to follow the tradition unconsciously
engenders it. There can he no artificial impetus for the birth of one, nor for
the death . Here at Lowell, however, there has been a consensus among a
minority that such is rot the case Since moving from the eld Lowell on
Hayes, an upsurge of unfounded chauvinism has been evident; activities
and traditions which were unwanted to begin with, have been almost forced
upon the student body, su^h as intramural sports, movies, lunchtimc games,
entertainment and the like.
Students feel obligated to participate in these efforts because they are
constantly pounded with a misguided criterion: "Never think of what Lowell
can do for you, but rather of what you can do for Lowell." On *bt contrary,
always think of what Lowell can do for you; you're here to get «o education,
not to be a voluntary morale booster, and if you do your job wci: traditions
will establish themselves t.ici Lowell will forever be rated on trc
outside as an excellent school.
But shouldn't we work for the betterment of Lowell at all? Certainly,
but such al'cgiancc does not entail making Lowell look like a summer resort
(all we need now is a. swimming pool to make it so), nor docs it necessitate
relegating one's Mu'lies to second place in order to reinforce Lo.i'cIPs
dubious holiness.
Lowell ist of course, a good school, but "magnificent" :s too strong an
adjective, and anyone who chooses to believe it super-ouper will only cause
the gradual dissipation of Lowell's already superb public image.

'Hell Fire
in Harlem'
It is not often that a writer can
take two explosive issues such as
race tension and religion and come
out with a hook that has a deeper
meaning than pure sens-it ion 9.1 ism.
Such a hook is James Baldwin's Go
Tell It on the Mountain.
Mr. Baldwin is a negro and he
writes best about wha. h he knows,Negroes.
The story is centered in Harlem
and surrounds a family and its
problems. But these problems aren't
the usual ones of poverty and race
discrimination. Instead it is about
people in general and their personal
search for a meaning in their lives.

Season Finale
The Washington Eagles rolled
past the Indians in a slow startingaffair,
Monday, February 25, at Kezar
Pavilion. It was the season finale
for both teams.
At the beginning of this tilt, Washington
was still in the thick of the
race for that fourth playoff berth.
The Eagles came back in the second
half to whip the Indians, 41 to 32,
Although the Eagles picked up their
fourth win in eight starts, the Mission
Bears defeated Poly later in the
week to grab the fourth spot.
It was cool shooting through the
game for both teams* especially in
the first ha)f. Both squads left the
floor at the intermission with Lowell
hitting just 13 points and Washington
canning a measley 12 digits.
In the second half, it was a different
story, on Washington's part
The Eagles racked up 17 points in
the third period and 12 in the fourth
stanza.
Ed Wilson and Ken Whitcomb
paced the victors. The latter hit for
16 points while Wilson had 11 digits.
High point man for the Indians
was Steve Vlautin with 12 points.
Also putting in a fine game for Lowell
was Tim McAteer, a clever ball
handler and team leader.
Ir the preliminary contest, the
Washington 130*s were victorious
over the Indian lightweights, 45-31.
Lowell forward. Rod Bcnnet, was
high point man for the game with
16 points, his biggest output of the
season.

THE LOWELL

Ben Neff
The day was Tuesday, February
25, 1963. An ordinary day for most
people but not an ordinary day for
the people of Lowell High School,
and one man in particular.
It was Ben N T eff day, in honor of
Lowell's famed basketball coach. Mr,
Ncff was stepping down from the
varsity coaching ranks at the conclusion
of the day's season finale. Nell's
last game pitted Lowell against
Washington, in a struggle for the
fourth playoff berth.
A rally, which was held during
sixth period in the Lowell court,
started off the day's proceedings honoring
Coach Ncff. Two of Neil's
iormcr stars were on hand at the
rally to also pay tribute to their brilliant
coach. They were Tom Mcschcry,
who is now starring for the
San Francisco Warriors basketball
team, and Ned Ward. Mr. Anino
read a brief summary of Mr. Neff s
basketball life.
Then Tom i\f eschery and Tim Mc-
Ateer, current captain of the varsity
team, spoke a few words about their
respective experiences with Neff. Bill
Cosdcn, the Lowell utudent body
president, presented Mr. Ncff with
a beautiful plaque. For five minutes,
immediately following this presentation,
the sEudcnts of Lowell gave
their retiring coach a warm, decplvdeserved
ovation.
At the game, more than 30 of Mr.
Ncff's old players came to watch
thoir former coach in his last gan;e
ot varsity competition. Some of the
more prominent ones there were
Tom Meschcry, Bob Fccrick, Howie
Dallmar, Paul Karlcss, Ward Hcaly,
Ed Conroy and Richie Hayc
Another contribution to Ben Ncff
was a no-host cocktail party and dinner
at the Pine Tree Restaurant,
which was held at the conclusion of
the varsity tilt.

Wildcats Defeat
Scrappy Lowell
The undefeated St. Ignatius Wildcats
ran their string of consecutive
wins to seven, ;is» they beat the Indians,
54-47, in a hard fought battle,
Tuesday, February 19, at Kczar Pavil?on.
Now the Wildcats must take their
polished record into the final week of
the round robin. They arc to face
the always tough Sacred Heart Irish
who have won six straight after their
opening loss to Lincoln.
The Indians could have had an upset
in the making if they had more
rebounding power. Lowell picked off
28 rebounds as compared to Si's A7.
In the shooting department, the
Indians .\*orc sizzling, canning shots
in 45 attempts. St. Ignatius only hit
22 shots in 73 attempts.
Lowell, in the early going, committed
several ball handling errors
which led to quick Wildcat points.
However, the Indians calmed down,
and gave SI one of its roughest contests
of the season.
Tim AIcAteer turned in a brilliant
defensive game as he held St. Ignatius'
6 foot 4 inch star pivot man,
Charley Parks, to JMst four field
goals. Tim also tallied 11 pomts as
did teammate Paul Batmalc.
In the preliminary tilt, the St. Ignuatius
lightweights trounced the Ind?an
130's 60 to 47. Carson English,
Rod Bennct and Jerry Sims scored
in double figures for the Indians.

Well, the San F-anci*co Giant* have begun their spring training. According
to many exper's and statisticians, The Ciirm* are expected to repeat as
Xat'o;ial League Champions.
Lowell's baseball team has opened camp ako. For the first few weeks of
practice, the Indians were working out on an all-dirt inheld and outfield in
back of the school, which didn't work out too well. Sow they are practicing
at Big Rec in Golden Gate Park.
While we arc on baseball, today the Lowell varsity plays defending
AAA champion, Saint Ignatitis. in a game which should be .*» dandy. They
will duel on the Xealon diamond at U'm Rcc after school.
BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS
Did you know that the Lowell lightweight team and the Indian varsity
quintet had identical 2-6 records at the conclusion of the 1962-63 season:
Also interesting to note i* the fact that cv»:ry time our lightweight team won
in the preliminary game, our hapless varsity cagers would come back
in the d*y'.« finale to also emerge victorious.
Congrats go to varsity cagers Steve Vlautin and Tim McAteer. Vlautin
was Coach NcfFs leading scorer for the season; he tallied 89 points. As for
Tim McAteer, the brilliant Indian floorman, his playmaking and passing
kept Lowell fired up in their bids to upset the top AAA teams.
Good luck to Mr. Stan Stewart. 130'^ basketball coach, who will step
up to the varsity ranks next season. He will succeed the illustrious Hen Xeff
PROMISING ROOKIES
This year's varsity basketball season saw many bright sophomores v.bo
sparkled during the AAA loop. Saint Ignatius had three prominent sophomores
who helped the Wildcats share the round robin title. They .~rc Bob
Ponman. who definitely is an all-city candidate; Bruce. ScoHion, a firsi-striny
forward, and Jim Mason, sixth man on the Cat roster. A prominent Mission
sophomore is Sam Puitt, tiie boy who held SI*s star pivot man Charley
Parks to just a few points. Mustang Mike Holmgren, who came to Lincoln
*rom Ju.iior high, ;•* mid-tortn, u:n•»/. in *• -brilliant hali sea-on. Also a promising
sophomore was our own Paul y.it.nalc. who played exceptionally well
for the varsity hoopsters. These boys should keep ihe Academic Athletic

We asked that question and answered it Transportation, ai Webster's
defines it—"systems and modes of conveyance of persoas or goods from

in the survey. The Lowell again shows why such transportation does
not exist.
One of the questions asked in ihe survey was the following: What time
did you start from home? Of the 1786 who answered this question; 64 replied
before 7 a.m. 101 said they left home about 7.
At this point, usk yourselves this question: Are not these students like

So what. Already Rudy is forgotten as the papers seek something

None i;f us should forget. Rudy went ;o my junior high, and

LETTERS TO THE EDITQRW! 1 ^ Hgqs
To Harry Rates:
I read wiln vitcrest your column.
"Wclrschmcrz," in the March 15 issue
of The Lowell. . . . Vow chose a
timely .subject and brought up a few
important points, but you made a
verv bad mistake which displaced
other iavoraMc aspects... .
First of Ml. you arc confused in
your concept 01 traditions. You
stated that traditions arc neither established
nor -crapped but rather
they happen. Then you proceeded to
classify the establishment of noontime
game?, intramural sports, movies
and enter lain rr.er.t as misdirected
aWrmpi* :.» "art traditions (when
:Uy were) never intended to become
traditions* by those who initiated
them, .'nstcad, they were organized
for kids who want to participate simply
because they enjoy it. If there
has been any "forcing" along this
vein, its sole purpose has been to
awaken the hesitant to the opportunities
which sunround them. . . .
This misconception resulted in another
grave error which lies in adverse
attitude towards the group behind
the lunchtimc activities and intramural
spens, in calling it "a minority
group" party to "an upsurge of
unfounded chauvinism." You thereby
imply that teachers !ikc Mr. Anderson
and Mr. Anino. and students
with leadership tendencies, arc all
over-patriotic and ovcr-zcalous for a
sersclrss cause. Such a reaction ;s
indeed ungrateful for you to have—
you, a student body officer, who depends
on these people to make your
job a success. These people deserve
thanks and praise for giving oi their
time, ulcms. and energy that others
may profit. . . .
Sincerely,
JOAXXE XELSOX

WHEE! ITS SPRING AGAIN
People can be seen each lunch period lying on the grass and cavorting
in the sun. Some smart people like Joe 31w:n and Sue Horn bring blankets
as well as their iunch. And have you . with this term! Yet, is it
really an insult? THEY would certainly
like the world to think so.
Hi:t, unfortunately enough for them.
an American capitalist is simply one
who Invests his money in such a way
that he is assuring Iris own financial
future as well as that of his country.
"People's Capitalism/' the basis of
our economy, owes no apologies to
peoples with a different economic
system; instead, it deserves their admiration.
In expounding his five and
ten year plans. Prcro^r Khrushchev
never mentions one si:.ip'? act—that
the basic difference between capitalistic
and communistic economics is
that in the latter the govcrnmra', not
the people, controls the profit.
Bcconrng a capitalist involves
nothing more than simply maintaining
a brink accouii!. purchasing a
saving> bond, or taking out an insurance
policy. Kadi of these not
only provides a ?afc storing place for
surplus cash, but constitutes «n investment
in t'ic fuiurc Benjamin
Franklin is quoted us having said,
"A penny s;u:d ii a penny earned."
Carrying this ax : om a bit further, we
have kamed that a penny invested
can be two, three, or even 15 pennies
earned A dollar "saved" may
lose value cue to inflation, and will
'.mainly not gain in value. However,
dollar* invested will usually pay interest
or dividends, and, at any rate,
will multiply with inflation so that
their net buying power is not lost-
Byr, as investor?, we are not the
cr.ly cnes who reap benefit?. The interest
an*2 dividends we receive indicate
th ; success of those whe havi
put our money to \tcrk in expanding
A'ncr?LVtn industry, commerce, transj'-'jr;.v.:airs of
dirty canvas shots, several re:l feathers,
assorted tubes and bottles of
some kind of paint, a large statue of
an Indian—along w'th the general
indication of squalor, seem to indicate
that this was probably a school
to train dumb savages.
Lowell ROTC
Receives Trophy
A permanent trophy will be awarded
tc Lowell High's ROTC units,
who won ,first place over all other
San Francisco entries in the March
17 St. Patrick's Day Parade.
The school companies, therefore,
present a serious threat this year
to Galileo High, whose battalion was
the top trophy winner at the San
Francisco High School R OTC
Spring Drill Competition last year.
On FrrJay, April 19 of this year S.t
7:30 p.m., our Lowell cadets will v;e
for honors at the 17th Annual Con>
peiiiion to be held at the National
Guard Armory .it 14th and Missfon
Streets. The ev.snt, which attracts
thousands of spectators every year,
will again be freo and open to the
general public. To draw special interest
in 1963, Mayor George Christopher
has proclaimed the %vcek of
April 13-20 as ROTC-91si Division
Week.

SA Officers in
Y-l-G Day
Lowell student body oiBccrs, part
of the minor leagues of future civic
participation, got a chance, along
with other high school students, to
practice the real thing Monday,
March 25, in the Junior Chamber of
Con.inrrce's annual Youth-in-Govcrnme.it
Day.
The oiject of Youth-in-Govcrnment
is to assign student counterparts
to substitute for the real city
officers. The program gives the students
a chance to ;ear» the "ins and
outs" oi" city government and to be
better able to udcrstaml it.
The jobs run the gamut from
Mayor to Director M Public Works,
from President of the Board of Supervisors
to City Hall reporter for
each of the major daily newspaper,
over 45 jobs in all.
Four of Lov/elPs Student Association
officers were so assigned as
counterparts. S.A. President Bill
Cosden "took the place" of Supervisor
Roger Boas, S.A. Vice President
Julie Winship "became" the
City Hall reporter for the Examiner,
S.A. Recording Secretary Kristi Anderson
"was" Tax Collector, and
S.A. Treasurer Arm and Lara "assumed"
the post as head of the Municipal
Railway.
The day's activities were many and
varied. Each of the counterparts met
the people they were replacing for
the day, discussed the jobs and their
duties, were later treated to lunch,
and participated in many of the activities
as do tht real-life counterparts.
t T or example, Rill Cosden sat
in place of Roger Boas at tbc Board
of Supervisor's meeting.
The entire day's activities were
aptly summed up by S.A. V : ce President
Julie Winship. Though discussing
her visit to the Mayors office,
her six-word statement could well
summarize the complexity of city
government. Said JuHe, "It's hard to
describe the feeling." Indeed it must
be.
Streamers, Hit Tunes
Hilite Twirp Dance
Greens and colorful streamers surrounding
spirited couples created the
perfect atmosphere for the Twirp
Dance entitled "Squaws* Night Out."
Current hit tunes were featured
on a juke box rented for the occasion;
Squaws and thc«r dates had an
evening of twisting and dreamy
dancing. ..
Musical entertainment was pro-
; ^dcd by Matt Bloom and his combo,
and Our talented rally commissioner,
Barry Bates, presented a humorous
monologue.
Indian lovers had the opportunity
to enter the Marriage Hut, where licenses
were duly signed by Rabbis
BUI Cosden and Ken Madfes.
The response to tht dance was so
great, the supply of bids was exhausted
early in the evening.

Loses!!, 5-2
The Lowell tennis tc;:« ran into
a brick wall in the form of Miramontc
High as the Tribe racketeers
lost, 5-2. Because this was not a
league same, it has not damaged
Lowell's league record of two wins
and no losses.
Koth the Tribe victories were 7-0
clean sweeps over Washington and
Sacred Heart.
Keith Robberding.the team's number
one man, played a tremendous
Ksme against Gary Rose of Miramonte,
but he still lost to Gary, the
latter ranked as one of the iop 20
m the nation. 3-6, 4-6. Mr. Anino,
who is in charge of the team, said
Miramcntc High had a good chance
of being the top-ranked team in California.
Louis held the only other
score against Mirarnontc, defeating
Bob Martin, 6-3 and 6-4.
'Cats Claw
Tribe, 6-2
The Trtbe nine, coming off an
opening win over Lincoln, met a
strong St. Fgnatius ball club, who
h.-mded thc Indians their first loss of
thc season, 6-2. on Friday, March 15.
at Golden Gate Park's Big Rcc field.
The Wildcats, collecting only 5
hits, made good onTribe crrors.They
constantly took advantage of Lowell
miscues to score 5 unearned runs.
Stubby Joe Gualco. who hurled
S.I. to an opening win just two days
before, came in relief of Cat starter
Rocky Dckker in thc fourth to post
his second win of the two-gamc-old
season.
S.I. scored one nin in each of the
first two frames. Thc Indians scored
once in the fourth, to make thc score
2-1, and it looked like a nip and tuck
pitchers* duel between Dekker and
Tribe starter Phil W'Jcrstle. However,
Wucrstlc, working brilliantly,
was hit with bad luck. The Indians
committed several errors, and with
S.I. collecting cheap hits, Wucrstle
was ousted and replaced by Ed Roseborough.
The Cats simply outclassed the Indians
as they went on to score four
more insurance runs.
THE LOWELL
Mermen Go
Under Four Times,
Don't Come Up
The Lowell swimming team took
foih dunkiriKs during February and
March.
Coach Bill Fciling said thc reason
for thc losses was that Lowell swam
against teams having one or two
swimming pools on their own campus.
"When regular league competition
begins we :vill be swimming against
San Francisco public schools, none
of which I:ave pools on campus. Because
we tlon't have a pool of our
own we only get practice two days
a week whoicas teams outside San
Francisco, get in practice five days
a week," said Bill.
Dick Jackson, team manager, said
because the San Francisco schools
don't have pools, more balanced competition
is expected. He went on to
say that thc team will probably take
the championship, having made
strong showings in wins over Riordan
and South San Francisco High,
the latter having a swimming pool.
The losses were to Mills. 35 to 60.
on February 28; to Tamalpais, 17 to
70, March 5; to Sir Francis Drake,
39 to 56, March 7, and to Cast!cmont,
26 to 69 on March 14.
The Indian mermen clipped the
fins off South San Franciscc, 54 to
39, on March 19, and drowned Riordan
for a 51^ to UK victory on
March 12.
DarreH Feldstcin look.; strong in
the 100-yard freestyle, where his best
time is 57.7 seconds. He took three
first places, one against South San
Francisco, one against Castlcmont.
and one against Riordan. He has also
taken two second place honors.
Smith is also showing top form
with three firs; places. Two of the
first places were in the 400-yard freestyle
and one was in thc 200-yard
freestyle. He has also taken one second
place and five third places.
The 130-pound team collected two
victories, one against Sir Francis
Drake, 49 to 31. and one agam.n
Riordan, 43 »o 34.

Lions Beat
Hapless Tribe, 7-4
Lowell's hapless baseball team lost
a 7-4 contest to a much-improved
GKMICO nine in a rc-schcduled game,
Monday, March 25 at Big Rcc. It
was i»ic Indians* second loss in three
league .tarts.
Right off tl'c bat the Indians were
in trouble. TnHc pitcher Pete Katchcs
ran into conuM diffculty in thc
first inning, giving up four runs,
three hits, and two walks. Reliever
Ed Roseboroitgh came in and put
out thc fire.
Lowell's one bright spot was their
hitting spree, as they picked up 11
solid hits. This attack was led by
third sackcr Don Cooper, who went
three (or three.
The Indians could have won this
one if it hadn't been for poor base
running.Tribesmen were being called
out for missing bases and running
for bases they never had a chance of
getting.
With first sstker Bob Lee playing
his first game of the season, the Indians
were definitely stronger. Also.
with Afikc Groza making his pitching
debut, with a brilliant two-inning
rcncf stint, the Indian* may
surprise a few of the other clubs.
T and F Men
Walk Over
Terra Nova, 74-39
The Lowell track team «*alkcd
over the Terra Nova team, Tuesday,
March 5. with a final score of 74 to
39. Although this was only a practice
meet, it may well show our potential
against S.I. Terra Nova beat
S.I. eight weeks ago.
Louis Kirtman was in tremendous
form in thc 120-yard hurdles. He cut
the track record, 17.0 seconds, by 1.6
seconds. Louis also took first place
in thc 180-yard low hurdles. He improved
his record, 20.5 seconds, by
.3 seconds. Lee Viguic looked great
as usual in the discus throw. He
hurled it 141 feet nine inches for
first place. He also took first place
honors in thc shot put with a throw
of 43 feet 4 1/3 inches. Carson English
broke thc tied trick record for
*he high jump of 5 ft. 10 in.
The 130-pound team took a beating.
They won four out of 11 events
with a final score: Lowell 35, Terra
Nova 64. Boyle won the 150-yard
dash, Garro won the pole vault and
Dobleman won the broad jump. Berry
and Steffcn tied for first place

KATCHES'
KORNER By PETE KATCHES
The Lowell var*i»y l>a?cha!l team, picked to fu.ish not too high in the
standings, are currently the surprise of the league. As I am writing this article
now. Coach Dryadaltrs souad is ?os:in? a i-*o win and two loss record.
This puts the varsity nine right in the ml-Ml*? of the Academic Athletic Association
title race.
Even better news, is the fact that ihe teams Lowell has alrea-Iy played
are presently above them in the standing?, with the exception of Mission.
The Indiana* future opponents are down deep in the AAA standings with
the exception of Baltoa, now in second place behind loop leader St. Ignatius.
So, if the Tribe n.nc can continue as they have bet::, they will definitely
give a good account o : themselves as the season projrsss.
MUCH STRONGER NOW
With the addition of two players. Bob Lee and Don Cooper, the Injuns
are a lot stronger. First sackcr Lee was out fcr the last three weeks of
practice and missed the first two league cames of the season, due to a pulled
hamstring in his left thigh. Third sackcr Cooper, a transfer from Princeton
High School back East, saw plenty oi action for his former high school
nine. In Cooper's first league eame against Galileo, he smacked three hits
in three appearances and played a superb defensive pamc at the h-M corner.
Also an outstanding performer for this varsity ba^eballcrs is sophomore
phenomenon, Steve Howder. Howdcr -von the Lincoln game for us by leading
off the seventh inning with a double smd scoring th»; winning run on a
delayed steal. Steve, who has also sparkled behind the plate, definitely has
a brilliant future ahead of him.
INDIANS ON HITTING SPREE
The Ir.jur.s, improving with every gime, were silenced in the hitting
department against their first two opponents as they picked up just
four hits against Lincoln and St. Ignatius combined. However, against their
next enemies, Galileo and Mission, the Tr.'be collected 20 safeties. So, all
I can say is, watch out for the Injun?; they're on the warpath.
VARSITY SPIKERS NOSED OUT
To get off the subject of baseball, the varsity tracksters were accd out
by Lincoln i:; their first meet o: the campaigr. Actually, the score was tied,
but, according to a ne.v rule, if there is a t:c ir. the high jump and pclc vault
event, the winner is determined by the fewest misses. Lincoln and Lowell
tid for second place in both events. Lincoln having the fewer misses.
Louis Kirtman and Lee Vigu:e were double winners for Lowell, Kirtman
winning both the 150 low hurdles and 120 high hurdles, while Viguie
swept both the shot putond discus? events.
120 TRACKSTERS TITLE BOUND
The 120-pound track team, led by double winner Marc Christcnsen,
swamped the Lincoln lightweights. 60-16. Christensen took first place .*n
bath the 75-yard dash and 130-yard sprint. This team has a v**ry good chance
of going all the wav in both the dual meets and All-City meet.*.
LINKERS READY
Lowell's golf team is about wady for tl'eir coming season. The Tribe's
top three divotecrs are Mike Butler, John Fiannagan, and Bruce Williamson.
TENNIS TEAM WINNING
The Lowell tenr.is team is getting off on* tic right track in league competition.
The Indian setters swept past their first three league opponents
in brillian fashion.
Tribe Nine
Crush Tarn
HigMl-4
The Lowell varsity baseball team,
"not to be counted out of this year's
title race, opened their exhibition
season en Tuesday, March 5, with an
impressive 11-4 win over Tamalpais
on the fetter's field.
The Indiana, being the visiting
team, got things rolling in the first
inning scoring three runs. Willie Vi!livaccncio
led the Indian attack with
a single to right. Bill Neubaurr.er
drove him to second with a ground
out. Bob Lee then drilled a single to
right scoring Villivacenc'O. Lowell
went on to tally two more runs in
the inning.
The Tribe was scoreless in the second
inning, but came on strong in the
third frame with .seven run?. They
scored one more Lilly in the fourth
inning. Tamalpais scored all •heir
runs in the fourth.
Couth Drysdalc wanted to give
his pitchers some work, letting each
throw two innings.
Pete Katch'cs, the starting pitcher
for the Indians, pitched iwo scoreless
innings before Phil Wuerstel
came in for the folio.ving two frames,
giving up two earned runs and two
unearned rvns. Ed Roscboro then
came on to pitch the game's final two
innings.
Among the boys who did exceptionally
well for LoweU were Bob
Lee, the first sacksr, who picked up
two hits and drove in three runs.
Larry Bingham put in a fine defensive
game at second base, as did Willie
Villavicencio at shortstop. Steve
Howder, a sophomore catcher, was
superb behind the plate. Outfielders
Tim McAteer and Bill Neubaumer
also did well for the Indians.
THE LOWELL Friday, Ar>ril5,1953
Tracksters Blast Visiting Redwood
The Lowell tracksters ran over
Redwood High on March 15 with a
final -core of SO to 33. Louie Kirtman
ran away, as usual, with the 120-yard
hurdles event. He also took a first
in the 140-yard low hurdles. Although
Lee Viguie's discus throw of
137 ft. 7 in. wasn't as good as some
of his other throws, it was still good
enough to bring him first place honors.
Lee also came in third in the
shot put. First place isn't unheard
of for Rick Suicliff. Rich has been
getting in somr- pretty good vaults
lately, among them is an 11-foot
vault which tics his own high mark.
The 130-pound team !ost their

Vike Monscy took a first place in

Although the Indians lost, there
were a few outstanding performances
of the day. The medley «*clay turned
in the time of 2:04.2. The person responsible
for this time was fast-improving
Lee Viguie who was clocked
at a blistering 246. as the freestyle
anchor man.
Capturing a first in the 50-yard
freestyle was Bob Akins, leveling off
his time at 26.1,
Charles Root and Jeff Xuhn took

their semi-annual field trip in a visit
to the Stanford campus. Steve Lawry.
a graduate of Lowell, who now
attends Stanford, arranged for the

and physics a p e found to be most interesting,
along with a lecture on
"The Philosophy of Good and Evil/'
which attracted many Lowcllitcs.
Besides the visiting of classes, the
CSF members also enjoyed guided
tours of the campus, given by Stanford
students or they wandered
themselves among the many academic
buildings.
A highlight of the visit was lunchcon
in the beautiful Frost Amphitheatre,
with its acres of green grass
and lush foliage. Lcwcll students
who had brought iheir lunches sat
leisurely in the sun chatting casually
about the campus.
Mrs. Walbch and the CSF officers
worked hard to plan a most profitable
day, and their efforts were very
successful.

visH the schools and to better understand

problem of schools in those days was
that they lacked adequate support
K.-B. and B.-E. Days were started
in 1948 to promote better undeistanding
between the business world
and the schcols.

Cards Blast
Parrots, 13-4
The Polytechnic Parrots were
handed their >eventh loss of the campaign
at the bunds of Lowell's Indians
who picked up their third win.
13-4, in a Ing and sloppy game at
Big Rec's Graham Field on Thursday,
April IS.
The Indians proved that they will
definitely ^ive .1 better account of
themselves in the second round of
the AAA double round robin.
The Tribe nine displayed fine defensive
ball and overall power as
they clobbered Poly in a game which
saw both teams dueling in the rain
during the final two frames of the
tilt.
The Indians scored in four different
innings, their big inning was the
sixth when they tallied seven times.
It was definitely a team effort as
everyone smashed at least one hit for
Lowell except left hclticr Bill Ncubaumer
and second baseman Larry
Bingham. who helped the Indians'
cause with their fine defensive playing.
_..,,..•- -•••••"•
Will Villavicenzirv Kob Lee, and
Ed"Rosebqroiiglfa11 knocked in two
run? each for the Tribe, and Steve
Howdex and Ben Wrist on each collected
two hits for the Cards. Pitcher
Ed Roschorough received the win,
while Mike Groza preserved the triumph
with a brillian relief job.

KATCHES'
KORNER By PETE KATCHES
The S3n Frandscc-Los Angeles rivalry in baseball, footbail, basketball,
hockey or any kird of event which pits these two major cities on a sporting
field of combat is achieving a high state of fierceness of late.
With the advent of pro'e^ionM iwicba'd. hockey, ami Iwketba!! 'n the*c
c.i'i!, the Gargantuan Giant? have been gcit'.ng cm the plus side oi
the win-iois column. The Giant * wt.n the V)62 pennant by whipping the
Bum.- in a lie*t-i>f-thrte playoff serie*. Ever since the Dodders Mew last
year's flac there has been dissensk.it t.n the ball cHib. Rumors circulated
concerninp the replacement •->:* pi 1 *'-! Walter Alston. It wasn't the fault oi
amiable Walter that L.A. -wallowed the proverbial olive. A genera 1 , letdo
ivn on the Squad caused him to have to call on 25-panic-win tier Don
Drysdale to the point *.vhcre he was pitching too one:; and forcing him?el:
during the final weeks with a tired arm.
The reason for this workload was that Sandy Koufax, the other Dodger
pitching ace, was sidelined for the last half of the season due to an injury
tc his pitching hand.
It wouldn't be surprising if the Giants swept every series from the
Dodgers in the coining campaign. The boys i"n»in SiiiogviUe urc too illtempered
an I mad a; themselves to pla.» -^ood pcnnant-cr.ntemlinrf ball.
Another reason for possible Dodder Collapse is the fact thai thty lo$:
one of the mainstays of the famed Big Four pitching s-tsrf •>f L.A. He is St:oi
\Villiams who has been traded tn Xesv Y*»rfc for Yankee fir.-t barman Hil!
Skowron. Williams* absence will be keenly felt a.-: rookie* iv:!l have to fii!
his shoes.
But back to this rivalry bit. San Francisco has also cleaned up in the ice
hockey department. This year the Seals swept past the Los Angeles Blades
both in the season series and in the post season playoffs.
As far as trie basketball -eason U concerned, :he San Francisco Warrior*

The Boycott Story:
Protest at Policy
By GAIL LATIHER
"One of my -nain goals when 1 took office was to unity the school and
now I feel this has been accomplished." Thi3 was the comment of Student
Body President Bill Cosden regarding the recent boycott against the cafeteria.
The boycott on Friday. April 26, was supported by an overwhelming
majority of the student body. All but a few students brought bag lunches
and refused to eat the food served in L v e cafeteria. Cafeteria personnel reported
that the loss was between $300 and $400.
The strike was called to protest the School Board's policy of giving the
profits from *hr soft-drink machine to the citywirfe cafeteria fund. StuJent
body leaders feel that this money should go to the Student Activities Fund.
Arniand Lara, student body treasur*;.-, stated that thest additional funds
would be used to purchase athletic equipment and to subsidize the budget.
Ho also revealed that the Student Association is operating at a deficit of
$4,000 '*» year. The main causes for this deficit wore tiie expenses caused by
the mov*: to the new building and the necessity of purchasing new equipment,
and, as Mr. Anderson put it, "a fixed income (the only sources of
income are student body card sales and t!ie *TA Variety Show) and rising
prices."
The typical reaction of the cafeteria personnel was, "It (the boycott)
won't do them any good. It only hurts us personally." They feel they si.ould
receive the soft drink profits as the advent of ,*hc machine has cut down
on their sale? by about $15 a day. It uas a:so pointed out that this is the
first ye;.r the Lowell cafe has operated at a profit; for 30 years our cafeteria
was stipportcd hy other schools through the citywide cafeteria fund.
The real purpose of the strike was voiced by Julie Winship, student body
vice prcsictant, who said that it was called "not tc be destructive or wasteful,
but to draw public attention to a problem a* Lowell in the most democratic
way possible." And draw attention it did; Wendell Muntz, head of the
school cafeteria system came out to Lowell to investigate and the strike
received publicity in all three San Francisco dailies.
The results are not yet certain, but the studcr.t body officers have a
definite course of action planned. They have examined the cafeteria budget
and arc investi^Ating the situation in other San Francisco and Bay Area
schools. They also plan to speak at a PTA officers* meeting to enlist parent
support.
On the whole, the Student Association headers are most optimistic, especially
in view or a recent remark made by Mr. Irving Brcycr, the attorney
for the School Board. When asked by newsmen :f the board could legally
reverse its stand. Brcycr replied, "There could be such a possibility."
CSF Activity—
'Mikado. 1 Picnic
The CSF has two events planned
for its member-- during the next few
weeks. On Friday May 17, CSF and

SPOTLIGHT
SING FOR PEACE
The preservation of peace is a mijor topic of interest. To promote thought
on this subject, the Committee for Non-violent Action presented a program
of speeches on May 7, given by Gen. Hugh Hester and Dr. Carlton Goodlett,
and a concert by Pete Scegcr, who sang folksongs. The performance was
held at the ILWb Auditorium at Fisherman's Wharf. The auditorium was
donated to the cause by Harry Bridges.
After a long-winded speech from Gen. Hester, Dr. Goodlett spoke briefly
about disarmament and then made a pica for donations. Finally at 9:30 the
audience got what it came for—Pete Seeder. A tall, quiet man, he had been
sitting unnoticed in the audience throughout the speeches. Accompanying
fcimselt on the guitar, he sang several children's songs that he himself had
composed. Although the words sounded enough, the underlying theme was
that ot eventual world peace.
laying his guitar aside, Secgc- picked up his banjo and played a rollicking
medley of songs. Then he asked the audience to help him sing some
songs "so that the police guards here can go home and tell their wives that
nose people really believe in something." Never had such a large audience
sounded so tuneful; many people very effectively harmonified.
Most of the tunes this talented mau sang were gay and happy, although
the words were thought-provoking. He only sang a few well-known songs,
such as "Michael" and "Mary Don't You Weep." The majority were littleknown
but authentic folksongs, including Negro spirituals and mountain
ballads. Pete Sccger sang one satirical song about "ptnk, green and yellow
box houses,' composed by Bob Dylan.
In response to the wild applause at the end of his performance, Seeger
came back for several encores. The very last one was a funny soag-tory
about a giant, directed to the many children in the auditorium.

LONG DAY'S JOURNEY
The magnificence of Long Day's Journey Into Night is attributed to
a combination of superior direction (Sidney Lumet), production (Ely Landau),
the foundation of the Pulitzer Prize Winning play by Eugene O'Neill,
and most important, the execution of realistic portrayals by skilled actors!
Katheriae Hepburn, Jason Robards Jr., Ralph Richardson, and Dean Stock-'
well all received Best Acting Awards at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival. This
was the first time in the history of the festival that all of the four principal
performers in a single picture were given these awards.
Long Day's Journey Into Night is a deep, penetrating autobiOijraphical
study of O'Neill's family. Most outstanding of the portrayals was presented
by Katherine Hepburn. She conveys with deep emotion the agony which
she, as a dope addict, must suffer. Married tea miser, and afflicted with
her own troubles, she has been unaDle to provide adequate guidance for her
son. They, as a direct result of their home environment, lead an existence
of emotional torment
Though the film was a shortened version of the stage play, there still
remained portions that stretched to an involved length where the attention
of the viewer was lost. The film, with its radical changes depicting the agony
and humor of this life situation, leaves the reviewer with a reaction of depression
and awe and the desire to long reflect on the f-lm. —Lenore Smith
COMING HIT: "MR. ROBERTS"
Local radio and TV personalities have con^rued to form a new dramatical
group appropriately titled Media Theatre, and their first production
will begin its week-long stay at the Geary on May 20. "Mr. Roberts,"
a modern classic and perennially popular, stars Rolfe Peterson (KGO-TV)
as Mister Roberts, Fred Goerner (KCBS) as Ensign Pulver, Bill Hickock
(KFRC) as Doc, Dave McEIhatton (KCBS) as the Captain, and Merla
Zellcrbach (Chronicle) as the Nurse. Barry Bates, Lowell rally commissioner,
also plays a number of small parts, including the understudy for the
role of Insigna.
The Media Theatre is a non-profit organization, spending its members'
talents on worthy chanties. This particular performance benefits the San
Francisco Youth Association, the Recreation Center for the Handicapped,
Guam and Saipan Relief, Navy Relief, and Boys' Town ot* Italy.
Tickets are rapidly becoming scarce, but a limited amount of good seats
are still available at the Geary or any major box office.

Summer Coming on
What Will it
Mean to You?
By SANDY HAAS
Everyone is anxiously awaiting
June 14. On that day the great period
of rest and relaxation begins.
But is summer means relaxation to
you, you may be greatly disappointed.
After about two weeks of "playing,"
the days will grow longer and
longer.
Yet summer can provide a chance
for self-improvement and mental
stimulation, at the same time breaking
the monotonous "school routine."
A summer job can be rewarding both
financially and practically.
Regardless of a family's status,
there is always a sense of accomplishment
for the young person who
earns something on his own. Things
that arc purchased with money he
has earned arc much more prized

"For many a teenager, outstanding

Jobs as summer camp counselors

KNIVES FOR LOWELL INMATES
A small revolution lias rafcen place in the cafeteria. No, it has
nothing to do with the boycott. In tact, after the great participation in the
boycott, the revolution is quite su•'prism?. They finally gave us knives to
cut our meat! Naturally it was a special "sliccd-mcat" occasion. (Spoons
are sharp cnouch for the i:s*ial enchiladas or spaghetti.) Hut we have now
entered the ranks of the inmates at .San Qucntm. Alter all, having steel
knives now and then is jy« as eooH
as having plastic knives everyday.
JUST LETTING OFF STEAM
Did you notice how the administration
nervously laughed off the
boycott? "It's spring, they're under
tension and they were just letting off
steam." ActuaMy, instead of releasing
steam, the simmering coke machine
came to a full boil. (If we sold
the bubbles to Lawrence Welk
would the cafeteria still get the
profits?) For one entire day we real-
Sandy Haas
ly were able to enjoy the respect of
the administration ('course they
won't admit it!) Actim? Well, they said they would work on it, but the
whole issue has been pretty hush-hush until now (this writing)

What school authorities don.'t realize is that most of us arc willing to
save our steam untii June 14. On that magic day summer officially begins.

Stop and Brake
Demonstration
Given by SFPD
The Accident Investigation Bureau
of the San Francisco Police
Department took over thc school
parking lot. Monday, April 15, to
give a stopping and braking demonstration.
One student, after seeing
the expert demonstration, remarked,
"And I thought my braking reactions
were good."
After first having the students park
in the sout 1 end of the lot (so as to
avoid possible accidents and to give
the officers more room in which to
demonstrate), the police set up their
demonstration fourth and fifth periods.
Thc demonstration ^self consisted
of measuring thc time it :ook the
car to s.op from the instant the
brakes were applied. This was done
by puiling a string which set off a
blank 22 shell filled with chalk.
Thc chalk struck thc pavement.
This was Oone whtn the brakes were
first applied. Then thc distance made
from where the chalk mark was
made on thc pavement to where the
car stop^d was the braking distance
To Alert
Thc demonstrations were given to
alert the teenage driver to the problems
of braking and stopping, LeM
reaction time and actual braking
time.

THE LOWELL
Sacred Heart Irish
Surprised By Indians
The Irish from Sacred Heart, rolling
along with a four-game winning
streak, entered thc Lowell game with
a good chance o." grabbing a playoff
berth, however, the Tribe nin- upset
the Irish, 5-4, at Big Rec's Graham
Field on Tuesday, May 7.
This win chalked up by the Indians
dimmed any chances the Irish
had of getting into the post season
finals which begin on May 21.
The Indians were first to get on
the Scoreboard as they picked up a
run in thc second. However, the Irish
tallied once in the third to knot the
score at 1-1.
Thc Trish came back strong in
their half of the sixth with two big
runs, and it didn't look good for the
Tribe. However, with the score
reading Sacred Heart 3, Lowell I,
the never say die Indians rolled up
a total of three runs in their half of
thc sixth.
With the score changing hands every
couple of innings, it was now Sacred
Heart's turn to come from behind,
and they did just that. The
Irish tied it in the seventh. The Indians
failing to score, requiring the
game to go into extra innings.
Sacred Heart failed to tally in the
top of thc eighth. It was a different
story on the Injuns' part as Ed Roseborough,
who earlier had knocked
in what proved to be thc tying ruu,
delivered again. Big Ed, only a sophomore,
knocked in the winning run
which gave pitcher Bob Lee his first
win of the season.
The season, nearing its completion,
marked the first time Lowell
has beaten Sacred Heart in 24 years.
It was thc Indians' first win of thc
year against nine defeats.

Thc Lowell Indians- taking advan,

Washington pitcher Bins Kunzig,
scored four runs in the first two innings
to post their fifth win of the
season, 5-2, against Washington at
Wcs; Sunset, on Friday, May 10.
Once again Bob Lee worked superbly
on thc mound as he struck out
nine, walked throe, and scattered six
hits. This was Lee's second win of
the season. Both wins were rhalked
up in thc same week as Bob went the
distance against Sacred Heart on thc
seventh.
The Indians scored two runs in
each of the first two innings. Bing
Kunzig had his troubles on thc
mound, walking six and hitting another
in thc first couple of innings.
However, giving up just one more
m the third, Bing simmered down
and allowed nary a run thn-rrch thc
last four innings.
Indians didn't commit as many errors
as they arc usually noted for.
They booted just one against the
Eagles. Lee was getting excellent
support. Tim McAteer pUycd his
usttal superb defensive game in centcrcld.
Catcher Steve Howdcr, first
baseman Ed Roseborough, second
sacker Larry Bingham, shortstop
Willie Villavicencio and third baseman
Don Cooper all played fine defensive
ball at their respective positions.
Thc Tribe nine has just two games
remaining. They play Balboa on
Tuesday May 14, and again oh Friday,
May 17, against thc Polytechnic
Parrots. If they win these two games
they will fall one short of evening

KATCHES'
KORNER By PETE KATCH2S
That phenomenal tennis team has jtiM done it again. The Indian racketeers
have again picked up all the marbles fnr the twenty-third time in the
last 24 years.
Lincoln, going into the final week of the season, had an outside chance
of tying the Indians for the loop crown if they could have beaten Lowell
five sets to two. However, the Links failed as the Tribesmen coasted home
with another crown. The Injuns won seven matches to nary a one for the
Mustan js, as this was I owell's eighth consecutive shut-out win. There is
a possible of 56 points in the overall league total, our boys racked up all 56.
EVERYBODY WINS
It's getting to the point where Mr. Anino. who is in charge of the team,
can put any Lowell hoy on the court and have him win. He proved this
point three weeks ago when our tennis team had a match against Balboa.
Bill Cosden, the Lowell student body president, was stunned when the news
got out that he was to play Balboa's number one man.
Bill, not knowing that bis team bad won by default and that this match was
not to go down in the record books, refused to let his team down. He handled
his opponent in brilliant fashion in one of the day's better matches. Sice going,
Billy.
THE CHAMPS
Among the boys who contributed to the triumphant cause are Keith
Robberding, Greg Shepherd, Louis Englestein, Mike Price, Dave Colton,
Dennis A r ell an on, Keith Young, Lester Ho, Mike Joseph son, and Bob
Kypta. Congratulations, fellas.

Relays with at; unbelievable time for the 120 high hurdles. The In'itan
standout whipped Northern Calif3rnia*s finest with a time of 14.5 seconds
which is two-tenths of a second better than the current San Francisco record.
Lowell's much improved mile relay team of Gary Sutton, Don Boyle,
Carl Hcllman, and John Topham did very well at the Martinez Rciays as
they took third in a strong field.
BASEBALLERS LOSING
/ figured our varsity baseballsrs would do a lot better than they have. With
four games remaining the Tribe nine are in seventh place, posting a three uin,
nine loss record. One game they get the fielding and hitting to win but lack the
pitching, another game they have the pitching but no hitting or fielding. If we
can combine all three talents we should be dangerous. From now on, the Indians,
with no possible chance of getting into the post season playoffs, can only be the
spoilers of the league.
Wi While we are on baseball, Lowell pitcher Mike Groza smacked Saint Ig-
natius ius' star pitcher and bitter liitter Joe Gualco, Gualco, in in his his pitching pitching shoulder during
the game bctu-ccn bctu-ccn the Indians Indians and Cats. Gualco was out for ten days and

Slightly Maudiin, Slightly Trivial
By BRIAN LAWSON
It is something r.f a tradition that the last editorial *»i
sciiicster to be lti;htly maudlin. So. in an eitort to avoid
heinjtr branded an iconoclast I hereby offer cs couldn't get
passed the triple-parked cars.
. . . the court that made you feel you were at the bottom of
a weli looking out . . . but then came the new building
and although it l.xks the character and tradition of the
old building it does have many things that make u stand
ou;.. Such as ...
. . . the wonderful smell when the morning fog hits fertilizer
a r oun«i the
p
. . . :he distinguished architecture called "Contemporary
: Craokcrbox."
. . , the drinking fountain* built so that only a dwarf can
drink from them with comfort.
. . . walking a mile fn»m the "M" in the rain.
. . , the coke machine and all that it has caused.
- . . ad infinitum.
I guessMhr only way I can sum up these years at Lowell would
be to use a quotation from last year's feature editor. Tom N'agle,
and his "Kpilog-ue" . . . "Who would think :hnc ihiir'years that
would take so long could go so fast?"

HIDE AND SEEK ANYONE?
Those first few weeks in our Park Merced estate were quite an experience!
This builauiK is really a gym teacher's delight. (What was that about
physical fitness tsst?) The workmen still habitating the place made our little
"obstacle course" even more interesting. There were maps (Thank Heaven
•for small favors) along with other vital information such as tho historic
date we moved into the "old brick pile" contained in the handbook. Iiut even
maps don't make it clear iiiat girls can go down the stairs marked "BoyV
Locker Room" to reach room 21. (Ignorance is bliss!)
AN INSPIRATION FOR SANDBURG
The workmen were here long after that first week, though. In fact, it's
hard to imagine Lowell without some kind of c'onMiuction going on. By
the time they had completed that romantically dark ''shop wing" (glass is
expensive, you know), it was time to start repairing the faults in the rest
of the building. Little things like dripping insulation strips, windows that
shattered in the first gust of wind and Icakj* ceilings on the second iloor arc
what give our school personality. The past couple of months have found
our builders of An*erica out in the elements constructing for us the pro-
""" vtrbiai shacks. "Progress is our most important ..."
PLEASE PASS THE NOAH
I understand one room in the shacks is going to be a chem lab. That's
awfully close to the cafeteria! Have any idea which way the wind blows?
And how are they ever planning to share chemicals and equipment with
the lab on the third floor? Perhaps next fall will find Miss Dealtry run-
; ning from the building out to the shacks with a bottle cf concentrated sulphuric
acid or the 0.00001 gram accuracy balance. Too bad such things aren't
considered when the blue prints are drawn up. Who knows! If they were,
- £iir sc^JoI might not have been overcrowded its first year.
~~ONLY IN FALL '62
Yes,, our first year at the "New" Lowell is full of memories, especially
that /all term. Only then could we have
. . . had Gary Shemanoas Student Body President
. . . waited until Turkey Day to lose the ; ^otball championship
. . . founded the Ruby Kcelcr Fan Club
... or seen a Queen's Husband named Tom N'agle.
OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT
But tkis great year is coming to a close. Ahead of tts stretches an
ej;tire summer to look back and remember. Summer will also be a chance to
do some good people, watching. It's f»n to walk dewn the street picking up
snatches of conversation and then try to decide what came next. Sometimes they
can be rather interesting. A little tidbit like "Gee. when my father saw mine,
• he said.. .** It was a conversation abottt report cards, perhaps? Or even an innocent
statement like '7 finished my work early so I decided to relax and play for
a white"u[nufd be fun to dissect.

TO BE A HIGH SENIOR . .
... is to want to be mature, to scorn anything iha: reminds one of early

To be a high senior is to have read Catcher in the Rye, Fraiiny and Zooey.
and Lord of the Flies, or to read Playboy, Mademoiselle, or Ingenue.
To be a high senior is to appreciate Mr. En-ilamler, and to sulk in one's
room when the car is not available.
To be a high senior is to worry about nuclear war and a date for Grad

Greek Theatre—For Visit,
Not Drama :•
For its historic;! value and beauty,
the University of California Greek
Theatre is well worth aJ visit It is
a pleasant setting for relaxation or
study on a warm day. But it is not
the place for dramatic productions!
Though the stage is ideal for
ancient plays, the spectator stands
arc not constructed to add to one's
enjoyment of the plays. In fnct, the
discomfort they cause during a
lengthy presentation is a marked dis-
traction. Not only docs one become
increasingly aware of his own rest-
lessness, but his attention wanders
from the stage to the movement of
others.
Because the theatre is open-aitv
low-flying planes occasionally block
the sound entirely. And though it is
well constructed acoustically, per-
formers who arc accustomed to in-
door auditoriums have some difficul-
ty in adequately projecting their
voices. Verse-plays such as those of
Shakespeare require special atten-
tion in enunciation.
Though it is fun to sec productions
as they were presented in olden
limes, one must remember that the
ancients had to put forth a certain
amount of eff^/t to enjoy their plays.

"A Permanent Investigative Body"
Thr Committee which calls itself
"a permanent investigative body," is
composed of a talented group of
young comedians, who satirize the
current happenings of the world
scene.
The group of five men and two
women go about their task in an
easy, unrehearsed manner -which is
in keeping with the spontaneous na-
ture ot' their performance. In order
to do this, they ask the audience to
give certain ingredients: an object,
some characters, a first line, a book
title, etc. From the suggestions The
Committee then makes up or impro-
vises a scene All the acts begin this
way, including the set material.
Each of the performers has his
own individual method of satirical
expression, while as a team The
Committee goes about ics work
with such a unity of force, combined
with some very pointed ridicule that
the viewer may find himself shining
uncomfortably in his seat.

Merry Maids
Splash to Marin
Most people use the Golden Gate
Bridge to rrach M arin from San
Francisco, hut, on Saturday, Sep-
tember 7, swimming from Fort Point
to Lime Rock, The Merionettes took
the wet way!
Four Lowell girls, low senior Ka-
ren Marwcdrl and low sophomores
Hetty Dickie. Lois Levy, and Jenny
Green, members or The Merionettes,
took part in the swim.
The Merionettes were sponsored
by the Dolphin Club, and the Break-
fast Club awarded trophic* to the
first 20 girls who finished. A Bay Area
surfers' club, nn their surf boards,
went alongside each of the girls,
while six pilot boats were farther
out. The 7/8 mile distance was cov-
ered by the slowest in 55 minutes.
The Merionettes were the first group
to have all the swimmers finish the
Golden Gate Swim.
The Lowell swimmers' main com-
plaint wasn't the distance, but rather
the intense coldness of the water and
having to fight the ebb title. To make
matters worse for Jenny Green, she
broke her toe on a stair case, in the
boat, just before the swim began but
she took to the waters '-inyway.
There were ai>our 2,000 spectators
from vantage points on the Golden
Gate Bridge, on shore, and private
boats, while people at home could
watch on the local TV stations.

School is back in session and it's time* to forget those lazy days of fun
and leisure sans homework. For many weeks there will be thotfe who mourn
the summer swing of things. Most sorrowful of all are !iic sunworshtppers
who acquired glorious tans and fear their slow demise into the San Francisco
fog. Diane Werthen would head a list of sun-tanned Indiana She started
iicr 60-odd day liberty Ky heading towards the Orient and n-uirning by way
of Hawaii. VicW Nahman also toured the On^n: while Sandy Turk and
Vicki Brenner basked in the warm Hawaiian sun a.ul sea breeze. Lola Pas-
setti nt ?icr summer in Italy as did Janet Hinterman. Sue Ashley was
granted a scholarship at a music academy at Intcrlocken, Michigan.
STATEWIDE ACTIVITY
Closer to home a search would have found the Tahoe inhabitants, Chuck
Meyer, Roy Zemlicka. Pete Bet-wick, and Mike Eversole. Still nearer San
Francisco wo-c tdc numerous Russian River rats. Anne Batmale, Judi Cal-
vert. Rick Johnson, Mike Groza, ami Steve Ltpson arc only a few who spent
much their time in that popular river. Larry Kenny acted as superintend-
ent, exhibiting his physique on the beach. Was the water loo cold, Larry?
Another exhibitionist, Carol Friedman did a mean twist at the Rio-Nido
dance. Mountains "volyn Larson spent her weekends in the Santa Cruz
Mountains.
SAN FRANCISCO—FUN IN THE SUN??
Last, but not least, are the year-round San Francisco dwellers, who
found ways to spend their time within its fog-bou;ul limits. Marsha Bravtr-
man, Rick Levin, Cathy 3aum, Bill Lazar and George Williams are
Gnly a few who attended summer school. Ria Irvine and Lois Levy
are members of the San Francisco Marionettes, a synchronized swim-
ming tc,\m. They swam and practiced often during the summer, and re-
cently Lois was one c-f the thrill-seekers who swam the Golden Gate. Ria's
hard work was rewarded by a trip to Hawaii the first week of school.
Sandy Haas, Marilyn Davis, and song girU Sue Chausse and Kathy
McKinley have joined the ranks of the working girls. Sue worked as a sec-
retary, Kathy as a waitress at Mountain Home, a dude ranch, and Sandy
worked in Oregon. Marilyn acted as a waitress at the River.
PARTY TIME
The High and Mighties are already beginning' senior festivities which
brings us to Sue Horn*.* party back on September 7. Spirit rousers Bill
Jamison, Chuck Hansen, Mike Rudee Stacy Leer Sandy Turk, George Rein-
hardt (with Cilia), Erica Citret, and Kristi Anderson were among the 70
odd who kept things in full swing. Regrets to Doug Tracy, Joai Loube
(grad), and Mike Groza who didn't quite make it in—keep tryin* kids.
AND MORE PARTIES
Well, it seems as if our tribesmen decided to have a beach party. So we
got a beach—beyond the fits, and collected some people: Gay Viguie, Ted
Bovil, Chuck Meyer, Joe Lexer, Marty Cherin, and Kurt Hirshfeld, who ar-
rived with five people and one guitar in his MG. Then along came the late
arrivals from Greg Soare's (grad) party: Cathi Hayman with Ron Hetland
(grad), George and Cilia as usual, Eric Albronda (grad) with Jeanme
Ward. Throw in a few LinccJniles and some City College goers, and the
result was a quiet (believe it or not) beach party.
MORE BIG DOIN'S
Pledge night at Cal found many a Lowell!re enjoying himself. With the
big Berkeley men were Cheryl Markuse, Diaae Soloman, Vicki Nahman,
Debbie Leibskeind, and Donna Miller.
LAST WORD
We almost forgot—a welcome to all new sophomores and a special wel-
come lo Bill Code and Jerry Towan, who arc with us another term and to
Kathy Hassard, who has been away for several terms.

Page Four THE LOWELL
Lowell Varsity
Eye AAA Playoff Berth
By DUFFY JENNINGS
Varsity football coach Bill Feiliag's football machine carries with it
this year all the aspects of a used car.
It hap depreciated considerably due to the loss of two \*cry important
p?rts—Tim McAtecr and Bob Lee—both of whom were spark plug* of considerable
value. McAtcer was named to the All-City team as well as the
High Sr.hool Hali of Fame, while Lee, who passed for over 1000 yards,
was narred Player o: the Game in last year's Turkey Dsy tilt against St.
Ignatius while aUo making the All-C:ty club.
However, it is well known that anything" works better with age and
such is the case with this year's squad. Coach Feiiing feels he will have a
better balanced offense this fall. In addition, the coach states, "We have
the best par-s-catching ends in ten years with good throwers to hit them.
We should run better and harder in '63."
Nevertheless, Lowell's brave Braves will all but have to jump the gun
at the start of the 1963 Academic Athletic Association championship race
in order to keep in the running. The prime reason for this is one which
plagues nearly every high school football team—lack of weight in the front
line.
'Tis true mdecd that the varsity griddcrs from Lowell are running better
and harder in '63 but that's only half the game. Nobody ever von a game
on offense alone and Lowell's front line average 17S pounds, hardly a
match for S.I. coach Tringali's machine which has 11 men under the heod
averaging well over 190 pounds of man-power each.
Other teams shaping up well are Lincoln and Washing*an. Ten Eag>s
are returning from Ust year's starting line.
With the four-tsam playoff system in use again this fall, and newly appointed
Knights of the Gridiron Pete Katches, Lou Kirtmaa, and Don
Cooper, Coach Feiling hopes to cliint into a playoff berth by November 2S.
It's up to the students, however, to make sure he always has his tank
full of pptrit.

lined up in the order they finish.

have to be changed to outriglw Commum~t

We arc a little concernc! ;ihe.i*inninjr of the football season.
In the past—win lose, or draw, the attendance at each game
was always considerably high. We realize that during the last four
years, Lowell has had title-contending clubs in three of these four
seasons. In the one year when they had lost more games than they
won, the attendance remained high.
To j^et b;,ck to the present day, Lowell's football team is
rated a solid favorite to grab off a |il:iy-olT spot this year. In the
first prnie against Sacred Heart, there wasn't too much to cheer
about. The number of Lowell students at this game was extraordinary
a> more than two-thirds of the student body showed up
at Kezar Stadium. However, at the next game against rival
Wfishimon, a little ^"er half of the student body attended the
game. A drop in attendance was noticeable.

'SORRY KIDS, NO OFFENSE'
By DUFFY JENNINGS
DON'T DESPAIR, LOWELL FANS, the shadowy gloom of last place
has ::ot yet shown its face in this school. Besides, there's always somebody
worse off than you. And for you non-bel:evers. ask Red Hickey. Football
coaches of the world, unite! The stat box tells all....
1 believe I've found .i flaw in our security. Three separate attempts on
my pa.*t to ?or Galileo, ltalbna. and Sacred Heart go through their daily
ri^aiiKiroic o\ cnU'sturnic*, scruvniagcs, and whatever else makes up their
practice session?, haw failed. Hut at Lowell, we're nice. Step right up and
get a ringside seat r»:i Lake Merced Boulevard! Bring your binocular?, paper,
pencils etc., and settle down to a nice w'ternoon of spying. Yes, sir, we're
sure nice at Lowell. Xirc guys finish last.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not predicting any last place finish for
the Indian?, not by a long shot, but at this point I'd like to interjoct a suggestion
or two as submitted to me by an anonymous obser\cr:
1) "The outstanding defensive piny on the part of Larry Bingham was* in
ray opinion, good enough to rate him 'Player of the Week* honors in the Washington
game as welt as the Sacred Heart contest. After some inquiry, 1 find that
Larry's number is that which belonged to Tim McAtecr for three years. And Ym
sure t needn't elaborate on Tim's achievements. Thus / suggest the first learn
wear historymaking numerals such as tJ (Boh Lee); ?4 (Geoff Homolya); 78
(Ted Sordlitnd); 35 (hv Cohbs; 35 (Gary Rosenblatt): etc. After all, it worked
for Giant star Willie MeCorcy. 'Stretch'*s number was 44 and that's fust how
many homers he sent out as did his equal, Hank Aaron, whose number also hap~
pens to he 44. They may even change McCorey's number to f3 next season.
2 "Maybe Reeves Moses should lead yells during fjalf-time. With a name like
that he could mote mountains. Aad that's what Lowell needs. So reflection on
Greg Dobbs is intended here; as a matter of fact he's doing fust great and has
plenty of spirit, but how can you lead yells when tbv entire rooting section has
taken to doing homework, sneaking to the other side, or yelling, 'Shelley for
Maytr?'"
But now we've trampled th* Hues and thia will go to press before the
Mission game. I'm not requesting that Coach Fciimg take heed to the«e
suggestions as he seems *e J*c back in a winning mood. The only thing is,
the students arc always in a winning mood and you can't pleajc ail the
people some of tin: time, or some of the people all the time, or, oh. you
know what I mean.
FAMOUS SAYINGS I CAN DO WITHOUT: ... "I just knew the
Giants would fold." ... "I could have told you Hickey would quit before
he was fired." . .. "Any dope could have tcld you the Dodgers would sweep
the Series in four games." ... "I just got a lip from the inside—willie
Mays is over the hill." . . . "What, m* worry?"
NEW KNIGHTS ARE DUBBED
The Kniguts of the Gndtron, Lowell's society of outstanding football
piayers has added four new members. Congratulations to Larry Bingham,
George Reinhardt, Mike Giddmgs, and Wally Woodhouse.
Players of the Week
Larry Binghazn Dave Milanesi Don Cooper
Larry Bingham
Despite the, loss" of Lowell's first
league football tilt, linebacker Larry.
BinghanVs striding defensive play
rated him among the members of
the team as the "Player of the
Week" as Lowell droped a 6-0 decision
to Sacred Heart. It was dearly
obvious to both sides that I-arry
was making key tackles in critical
situations.
Larry stands only five feet, seven
inches tall, but he made short work
of Sacred Heart's odensive backs in
many Irish drives.
For his efforts., Larry received the
Alor.zo Stagg medal aad a "Pl».yer
of the Week" T-shirt.
Dave Milanesi

A.-. *»?.auj play. Although Dave
played z -tort time, his play at defensive
«:.j* was outstanding. He
made several key tackles which
poked hole:; in the Eagle offense.
Although Lowell was turned away,
26-0, Dane's participation was one of
the Tribe* few bright spots.
Like IATV, Dave will also receive
the Alonzo St^gg medal and a "Player

Rivalry Once Drew
Capacity Crowds
To Kezar Stadium
Today's football contest between
Lowell and Polytechnic
is more than just "another high
school game." It is a struggle
between two teams which
played before crowds of 50,000
spectators at Kezar Stadium in
the 1930's, a match between the
two oldest public high schools
in San Francesco.
F'or decades the Lowell-Poly
ffamc was the "game of the
year" for most San Franciscans..
Traditionally played on Thanksgiving"
Day, it attracted the attention
of sports-hungry spertators,
many of whom had no
connection with either school,
but who wanted to see "a good
brand of high school football."

The controversy over speech coach compensation is nearing

theme of the Exclusive was taken,
symbolizes the wild and completely

The bids, which will be presented
at the door, arc said to be

had before."
NKIE Revealed
After much deliberation, the
true facts 10 the XKIE story
were finally released for printing.
A small group of Lowell juniors
were responsible for the uproar
caused over defaced posters,
forged signatures and u n a p -
proved signs placed throughout
the building.
An investigation revealed that
the letters NKIE were derived
from the name of an ancient God,
Enki. A simple rearrangement of
letter positions provided the
group with both a name and a
trademark.
Despite rumors to the contrary,
sources stressed that there were
NO acts of vandalism .committed
by the NKIE group.

Tom spoke as a graduate of Lowell.
He said that only because of his

of the Week" honors for hU fine
playing against Mission High.
Although George missed the first
two games due to injuries he played
well in the Balboa game and exceptionally
well in "the Mission game,
as he stood out both offensively ?nd
defensively.
•In the Mission game George
played an outstanding game on defense,
making several key tackles
and intercepting a pass that way 1
^atcr nullified because of a penalty.
On offense he was very good also,
throwing Rued < blocks and receiving
two passes for 39 yards. It was
George's key block which opened
the gate for Louie Kirtman's 5 i-yard
touchdown run.
Louie Xirtman
In Lowell's *Z'l4 rout, of GalUit-,-
Louic Kirtman was one of many

Parrots, Tribe Rated
Even for Traditional
Grid Contest Today
Today's traditional Poly-
Lowell grid contest, which used
to bring capacity crowds to Kezar
Stadium 15 years ago, finds
both teams set on winning.
Poly's Parrots are Hying high
this year and are jjetting" their
share of the crackers. Last year
they managed to eke out one
lone victory, and all they were
doing was picking up the
crumbs. This year it's different.
They arc rated just about even
with the Indians and would
like to get back the traditional
plaque which Lowell so adeptly
relieved them of last year in a
20*0 Indian victory.
"We have seven i eturning veterans,"
says Poly coach Warren
"Fats" Johnson, "including fullback
Dennis Sullivan (6,0—ISO) who was
the sixth best rusher in the league
last year."
DENNIS WILL GET his hand.offs
and passes from return ing quarterback
Tom Corbctt. Tom was chosen
Prep Player of the Week by the
San Kra&cisco Prep Writers Association
for his efforts against Mission.
He completed two of four passes,
one on a key fourth down, intercepted
a Mission aerial and returned
it 46 yards to the Bear four, and
chalked up another 43 yards rushing.
The rest of the Parrot lineup sets
Cat Booth (6J0—170) and Willy Hankston
(5,9—150) at the halfback slots;
ettds Bob Dkksott (5,10—165) and

Spirit Deficit Is
Now City Problem
By DUFFY JENNINGS
There are amontf us those who are proud to call San Francisco
their home. I'm one of them. Most of the time. This spirit thing
has gone through the various stages of metamorphosis and has become
n city-wide problem. At Lowell, it has been, for the past
year and a half, a problem that has been hashed, re-hashed, cut
and dried, and left for the vultures. Now it has spread throughout
the city.
There are three main causes for this "infection": The Giants,
The 49ers. and The Warriors. Having an off year is one thing,
but all three teams in the same year is a little ridiculous. It seems
that in a bit of exuberance many Giant fans thought that the
World Series would once again come to this fair city. It did.
On television from New York and Los Angeles.
As for the 49crs, I'll do my best not to waste too much column
space on them. They're really sort of h^rd to figure out. Who do
they beat? The only undefeated team in the league at the time.
Who do they lose to? Everybody else. They may be the only
team to ever have three different coaches in one season. What
really bugged them was New York. New York Giants' Coach
Allie Sherman plagued them by playing four ex-49ers against
them for almost the entire game which saw the Prospectors lose
(naturally) 4S-14. Eddie Dove, Aaron Thomas, Hugh McElhenny,
and Y. A. Tittle, The Man With the Olden Arm, are now wearing
Giant uniforms. How lucky can you get?
Last but least arc the Warriors. Poor fellows. The turning
point of some of their recent games comes along about the fourth
period as they all sit down and watch their opponents hit 19
straight points to overtake them and then they get back in the
game, but too late.
Along about ncnv you should be able to sec why spirit is low
all over. It's not just Lowell.
Phychiatrist at Every Game Maybe?
This went to press before last Friday's game between Lincoln
and St. Ignatius but it's almost a sure bet that S.I. will be playing
tomorrow. They can't help it. Sure they're good, but they had everybody
beaten before the season started. It's definitely a psychological
thing and until somebody beats them there should be
a psychiatrist at every game.
Players of the Week
GLENN WEATHERSPOON
REEVES MOSES
In what bad to be one of the biggest
upsets in the 196} AAA race,
Glenn Weather spoon and Reeves
Moses almost beat Lincoln, 20-73, by
themselves.
Glei.-n was a defensive star al! season
but he really sparkled against
the-Mustangs. Many of Mustang
quarterback Mike Holmgren's passes
fell untouched as Glenn followed
receivers like a shadow. He also
made key tackles as Lincoln made
drives under the 15-yard line. He
finished the season with four dcf'
••five stirs on his helmet, a team
high.
EARLY IN THE first quarter,
Reeves Moses took a pass from
Pete Katches, lateralcd to Don
Cooper on the 25 and Don scooted
in for the score to start the Indians
off. All through the game Reeves
sparkled both on offense and defense
and then in the fourth quarter
he electrified Lowell fans by gathering
in a Katches aerial and eluding
three Mustang defenders to score
the winning touchdown.

BILL JAMISON
In a game which saw the traditional

a 26-13 Liuiian defeat. Bill Jamison
was chosen Player of the Week as
he provided the only light moments
of the game for LotvcH.
In the first quarter at Kczar
Stadium, Bill folded himself around
a hand-off from Pete Katches and
battled his way through the line to
score Lowell'? first touchdown from
the 3-yard line. Bill was the team's
unanimour choice as he was getting
extra yardage after being hit and
was equally as outstanding on defense.
PAUL SWANSON
For those who couldn't sec, it
w;is Paul Swanson that picked up
an S.I. fumble in the fourth quarter
and ran it in for the Indians* only
touchdown Paul, a six .-foot-one, 190

the only one whose spirits weren't

Having completed their season,
Lowell's 120 exponent hoopsters are
sitting pretty in third place behind
Mission and Galileo. In nine games.
the little Rcdmcn won six and lost
three alter having an undefeated
practice season.
Three boys in particular nitric this
possible. Forward Dale Sutton, estimated
by Coach Stan Stewart as his
most valuable player, hit for 86
point*; on the season. "Dale i.s the
most promising sophomore I've seen
this year and he could possibly make
the big jump to varsity next year,"
estimates Co?ch Stewart.
Another boy in the limelight of
Stewart's eye is team cr.ptain Tony
Gomez. Tony bucketed 55 points at
guard and was outstanding defensively
also. Tony was chosen captain
by Mr. Stewart because "he is my
most inspirational player and is an
asset to the team/*
A third sophomore is fonvard Jim
Lee who had the second highest total
points at 71. Jim, a possible All-
City candidate, also starred as a low
sophomore on the JV basebfc.Il team
and looks to be one of Lowell's uj>aml-coming
athletes.
THE REST of the '20s first five
positions were filled by Ren Miyasaki

observation. The third guard

in at guard were Marty Armenta,

comment as he added that Rod Ong

men.

Behind the Scenes After a 49er Gcrnii
In the tunnel the dust is blinding.
Ft Is dark, and (he air stings your
!un«s. There are loud footsteps coming
fast behind you.
The atmosphere becomes tense
with the mixed emotions and acrid
with the smell of the crowd of giant
men who art.* suddenly all around
y>n.
AH of the men are quiet, because
they have just finished ?. hard afternoon's
work. Some of them are
bleeding; all of them are hot* tired,
and sweaty.
The men split into two groups ami
trier separate rooms. You wait outfide
for a while until they are ready
to admit you. Then a door opens and
you arc signalled to come in.
At once you are greeted by the
now familiar smell, accompanied by
the sounds of men shouting and talk*
ing. A great cloud of steam issues
from the running showers.
You have to watch where you step,
because there are orange and lemon
peels all over the floor. You must
find one man in a small room crowded
with nu»re than 36 men in all
stapes of undress. You are lucky
this time; lie is directly in frcnt of
you.
A few visitors aslc him many questions
about the day's :ob. He answers
calmly and directly. He seems
very relaxed on the outride, but you
sense that he is really overjoyed on
the inside. He has successfully completed
today's job.
Now you run to the other room,
for you must talk there to another
man. The room is almost the same
as the one you have just left—filled
with big mtti taking showers, applying
bandages, and dressing.
The man you greet there is also
calm on the outside, but actually is
depressed, because lie has to admit
that he could not succeed at the
day's job.
Now you are sprinting v,act
through the tunnel.You have a j w d
line to meet: your boss had said
"Don't stay over 20 minutes,' 1 and
you must report to him.
Lungs heaving, you climb h
terminable stairs. You feel as bcatei
as the men you have just left. At
last you sit down before a bench and
give your information to the bosj
who takes it down quickly on a type
writer.
All of this took- place at K«*r
Stadium after the San Francisco
49crs-Dal1as Cowboys football
jjamc.
You were a reporter, covering &t
locker rooms for your paper. The
hip men who jostled you were pro
fessional football players. The me-,
you interviewed were their head
coaches. The quietly elated man »as
Jack Christenscn of the 49crst who
won; the dejected ore was Tom
I.andry of the losing Cowboys.
Thk same scene is rc-cnactcd af'f:
every game. Shorn of the sights, the
sounds, the smells and the cholcin:
atmosphere, you read all about it h

What is That Christmas Spirit? Flaunting of Law Demands Action
Reading Problem Knows No Limit
• • T * . . I T I > . . . . . . .
Kriilav. DereinlKT U.
vim have the "Christinas Spirit?"
According in San KraiuisenV department store owners whose
displays reflect the mood of the seaso.i. you have had the "Christ-
mas Spirit" since !a>t November ! when they removed the orange
pumpkins and ldni'k witche*- from their windows and put in their
place f«*r yuur approval jolly Santa Clauses, sleijyhs. reindeer, and
la>t, l»vxt no: least, their many diversified goods.
The Christmas season arrives a little earlier each year as San
Francisco's (as well as the rest of the nation's) department stores
eagerly decorate their window areas with the hope of luring
early Christmas shoppers within their large stone edifices. It was
not long ago when our large department store tv/nei» had the
common decency to wait until after Thanksgiving to dip their
eager fingers into our wallets and purses by means of catching
our attention with colorful window displays and newspaper ad-
vertise rnents.
Apparently the ring of the cash register is replacing the ima^e
of slci^Ji bells tinkling in the snow for the American public. Has
Christmas become '.he epitome of commercialization? At no other
season of the year is there so much advertising, so many so-called
sales, rind so much emphasis placed on money than during the
Christmas season. The newspapers advertise sales for all the big
stores aivl the busy Christmas shoppers seem most concerned
with prices and costs of goods.
What is the reason for the increasing torrent of advertising
and selling each Christmas? A well-developed economy? A pros-
perous people eager to enjoy the benefits of their wealth? Or
perhaps it is the fact that the American puplic has become too,
engrossed with the material side of life and has forgotten the side
that "money can't buy"; the side of life on which our country be-
gan and was built; the immaterial side of life: the aspect of life
that deals with human feelings and emotions.
Have we American,'- forgotten the sense of inter-dependence
and the giving of a part of ourselves to each other that left a feel-
iiig of unity amongst ourselves in the past? For it is this giving
of a p'.rt of ourselves ro each other that is called "The Christmas
Spirit." —Tom Darcey, Journ. 1

what that was, and the next thing
you did was to crawl out of bat,
creep from your room, and wend
your way along thc hall and down
the sta:rs.
You weren't supposed to be going
down at tills time, but you couldn't
stop yourself. The forest smell was
growing stronger and more exciting.
As you approached the shadowed
living room, the first sight you saw
was the Cfaxistmas tree.
It was Xiill and very still. Not one
ornament turned on its stem, not
one needier fell. It was not lighted,
tiut gave thc appearance of being; so.
It was one time in your life when
you were glad that you were the
youngest and the smallest. Who L*l«e
would have been able to squeeze
down and creep under the low
brandies of the tree and live there
for a while among thc presents?
Never did you touch the presents,
though you enjoyed their'company.
You didn't even touch the ones thit
wcr*; marked with the letters that
signified your name.
You breathed the smell of thc tree
and thought about the presents.
After a while you lay down on your
back and looked straight up into
thc glittering branches.
When you sat "?, you forgot how
low the boughs were and jarred the
tree. One of the ornaments, toppling
down thc branches, fell and broke
into tiny pieces.
It was time to go!
Your heart was beating 1 hard, but
you managed not to hurry, for you
had learned that hurrying was nois-

Don*t Over-do It
Avoid over-doing it, however. A

man who painted little red spots all

Not only did he nut get a seat, but he
was deluged by his frieud.> with rcc-
ommendntions for acne remedies.
This same young man sought a
permanent cure for his husmausltip
problems by deliberately contracting
dandruff, athlete's foot, halitosis, and
a host of other nauseating afflictions.
Unfortunately, no one has been able
to pet close enough to him to ask
him how it worked.

in securing seats on the bus. One
clever girl got seats on thc street-
car for 49 consecutive days by feign-
ing a broken leg. Unfortunately,
this brilliant gambit came- to an end
when her brother demanded the re-
turn of his crutches.
Now the poor girl is reduced to
using a varient of thc illness gam-
bit. She has fainting spells. She re-
ports that this means has its disad-
vantages, too. Although she fre-
quently gets a seat by pretending to
faint, her purse has been stolen

despite her quick-thinking protests
that she is a Christian Scientist.

Ice Hockey By
DUFFY JENNINGS
Fellow Lowcllians, hear me out. It has been brought to my
attention that i:'s time we initiate a new bijr lime sport at Lowell:
ice hockey.
Don't laugh, yes. I said ice hockey. We could organize a team
at an extremely low cost. First, we need A rink. Simple, just flood
the gym, open the doors, and with the weather we've been having,
it'll freeze over night.
Now we need equipment. No problem. We could take the netting
off the basketball hoops for the goal. The girls' gym could supply the
hockey sticks and the boys' gym could supply the stocky hicks. The
goalie could use football padding and a fencing mask. Foiled again!
The puck supply is no problem, just order hamburgers from the cafe-
teria.
This idea may be all wet, but it is generally agreed that we
need something to break the ice. We could have Seals stars at
the rallies, yell leaders on skates, and a dentist Nra England

AAA FINAL
S.I. Blanks Ecgles,
21-0, for Second
Undefeated Season
By RANDY KOERNIG
Last Saturday the. Wildcat r.f s-
Ignatius routed -tlte small but s^T\i.
cd Washington Eagles to wii. \.;.
second straight AAA championsh
and their 19th straight ball gam'e
ov*»r the past two years.
Inc 'Cat attack was led by tire-
less BUI Johnston who earned a io-
tal of 137 yards rushing, five yards
more than the entire Eatfc team
could manage on the ground and in
the air.
The Wildcats got their first score
late in the initial period when their
All-City quarterback, Ray Calcs^no,
capped a 76-yard drive by plunging
into the end-zone from one foot out.
Calcagno'followed it up by booting
the extra; point and S.I. was on top
by a score of 7-0.
As the first half waned, the Eagles
found themselves on the Wildcat 11.
on the Birds*" first play from the 11,
Biff Barnes hit Brian Cranert in the
end zone for an apparent TD. Rut
Lady Luck was against the Eigles
and an in-mbtion penalty cost them
their only scoring opportunity of the
afternoon.
As the gun sounded to end the
evenly-fought 'first half, the Tsfni-
ilans were on top, 7-0.
However, the second Jialf mid an
entirely different story. Mike Dugan
grabbed the second-half kickoff and
raced it .back 55 yards to the Wash-
ington 35. From there the 'Ckts took
18 plays, one of them a partially
blocked punt that Nat Kirtman fum-
bled and Don Wood recovered, to
move to the Eagle 17 before bcin;
stopped.
The next time the Wildcats took
the ball they moved it 85 yards in
12 plays, the drive being topped of?
by a Ray Calcagno to Don Wood
TD pass and a Calcagno conversion
to make the' score 14-0 in favor oi
th* -Wildcats.
The Ignatians'; final score-of the
day came late in the fourth quarter
when after taking ;bver on their
own.32 they moved the ball 68 yards
in only nine plays. After Calcagno
kicked h'is 30th PAT of the season
the score rtood at 21-0 andthat was"
the way it ended. r

Good Music Controversy Resolved As
Students Prepare for Juke Box Arrival
After one year of planning and in-
vestigation, a juke box soon will be
a fixture at Lowell High School.
The Executive Board at Lowell has
debated in length the merits and dis-
advantages of having a juke box.
The main point of controversy was
over the question of what constitutes
good music.
A committee was appointed by the
Executive Board to draw up a list
of the great selections in the field
of classical music, jazz, folk music,
show tunes, and popular music. The
members included Reg Louie, Kristi
Anderson, and Erica Citret.
They consulted Mr.Reginald Krie-
gcr, Mr. Thomas Lee, Mr. Walter
Halbasch, and Mr. Jack Anderson,
before they made their choice of the
100 records whicH will make up the
selections. It was the committee's
hope to choose diversified selections
of ouality which would octend the
student body's knowledge of various
styles of music.
The juke box will be coin operated
with the profits going to the Student
Association fund. Tentatively, it will
he used at dances and during lunch
periods.

A victory for the students of
Lowell!
After many months cf frus-
tration and anxiety on the part
of the Lowell High student
body, the controversy over the
proceeds of the soft-drink ma-
chine has finally been resolved
in Lowell's favor by the action
of the Board of Education. In-
come from the machine will re-
vert into the student boCy fund
instead of the cafeteria fund.
In April of 1963 the daily
newspapers gave wide publicity
to a boycott of the Lqw.ell cafe-
teria by the student body when
students objected to funds from
the soft-drink machine being
deposited into the general city-
wide cafeteria fund. Members .
of the student body felt that in- *
come from the sale of soft-
drinks should be part of the
general student body profits.
In order to express their objection
to the financial, arrangement then in
vogue, the students staged a boyf^tt
of the cafeten,v to call attention to
tlieir protests. This action prompted
an immediate study by Mr. Wendell
Muntz, supervisor of school cafe-
terias.
Mr. Muntz decided that the sys-
tem was not inconsistent with cafe-
teria policy and that it should.not be
changed. This decision prompted
Student Body President Bill Cpisden
to take his casc : personally to Super-
intendent of Schools Harold Spears.
Dr. Spears recommended that the
maiter be referred to the Board of
Education for further consideration.
Because of the large number of mat-
ters slated for board action, it was not
until December that; the soft-drink
issue was presented to the board.
After .listening to arguments /re-;,
volving around the matter, the ioard
voted in favor of the Lowell student
body. As a result proceeds from the
machine will be deposited into the
student body account to be used to
subsidize student activities.

tiered by thc Board cf Education,

The Cardinal is hailed as one of the
top movies t»f 1963. It is predicted
to win a nomination for an academy
award. And that nomination is deserved.
The film is based on Henry Morton
Robinson's novel by 'he same

Otto Preminper nscc' the career of
Father Steven rermoyle, played by
Torn Tryon, as a device for an exposition
of the issues of Catholicism.
The story is of a young man who
rises in the pricMhoct! from curate,
lo monstiffneur, to bishop, to cardinal,
and hte struggle to prove to
himself that he i* worthy of God and
capable of carrying out a Catholic's
religious beliefs. It is the story of
his personal and professional conflicts.
Through a series of flashbacks

Father Fc/moyle blames himself.
He mectsand falls in love with Romy

IN ALL ITS GLORIOUS
SUBTLETY
By DUFFY JENNINGS
NOW I SHALL spend all of 20 minutes slaving over a hot typewriter
(stole it last week) hanging out my last column, a relief to many I'm sure,
including myself.
T always said T wouldn't regret what appeared in this space in the past
six issues of this tri-wcf-kly journal which vows (tr the immortal words of
a box of Rice Cht.O to print only good new?. But somehow I can't help
wishing I hadn't called the football team a used car instead of taking a
team vote on how many preferred Thunderbirds to Golden Cadillacs. Funny
how they both seem to haw: an alcoholic beverage named after them.
And I'll never forget that one subset tion of my column which should be
ret it led—Nev Knights Are Flubbed, hi case you used the paper to homebreak
the dog, it had Rood house spelled with t "IF" and no body saw it until the paper
was being sold to millions throughout northern California.
Then I committed a cardinal sin. I devoted my entire, repeat entire
column to S 1 I s, thinking enough hadn't been said about Vincc
Tnngali and Raymond Calcagno. HAH!
With time running short, yours truly attacked the so-called professionals
of the city of seven hills in a ditty which professed Y. A. Tittle to have an
"olden arm." But here I have an out. That wasn't my tine, it was his roommate,
Del Shofner's, Title's great pass-catching end. So there.
In a last ditch effort to laugh it off, this reporter really slipped up and
suggested Ice Hockey only to get oft everybody else's back. It bombed. The
girls loved it. but it laid a big egg in the Jorker room where that issue was
used, if for no other reason, to clean GIT the now useless football cleats.

SO THIS IS ALL I have to offer in the way of a list Will and Testament.
I seriously doubt if the Sports Editor's column will ever become v:hat
so many boys want to see: A Sports Localites! So am 1 so was seen on the

No kidding, this is what eve-y member of every Lowell athletic team
wants, with his name where the so and :>os art. Even to just print everybody's
name wouldn't please them, they all want special mention. And
every once in a while an athlete gets to be sporis editor with the idea of
changing the situation and pretty soon he finds himself saying, "Now why
should I cater to all the athletes?" Why shouldn't he? They're the ones who
read the sports page. In some cases they're his teammates. I can't explain
it but he just doesn't do what everybody wants, he doesn't plea.se every

Porfman, Wildcats Knock Off Indians
In Initial Cage Contest, 41-31
All-City candidate Bob Poitasn and four other boys from St. Ignatius
ruined the varsity coaching debut of Stan Stewart in a real hair-pulling, nailbiting
cage contest in the USF gymnasium, by exploding for 28 points in
the second half to come o*xt on top, 41-31.
The loss of Steve Vlautin, due to
a chipped anMc Ixinc, h-irt the Indians
more than expected.Thc Wildcats
jumped out in front in a very
slow first period as Chuck Dullea hit
four straight points to give S.I. the
edge at 6-2. At the t.-iul of the first
period it was even-stevon at 8 points
apiece.
The lead was tossed back and
forth in the next seven minutes until
Steve Lipson and Mike Faullc gave
Lowell the half-time lead, 18-13.
INDIAN CAPTAIN Bob Christiansen
was high point man for the
Braves with 13, while Portman and
Dnlica led the 'Cats with 14 apiece.
It seemed to be the day for missing
free throws as Lowell hit only six out
of 17 while St. Ignatius hit six out of
16 free chances.
The sreend half was an entirely
different story for both sides as the
St. jgnattans poured it on. They
closed the gap in a hurry behind the
celebrated Portman and the two
clubs went into the final period with
Lowell one up on the 'Cats at 25-24.
In a game which many thought
might go into overtime, Portman
and Dullea remove? all doubt in the
final five minutes. Hi*f'>ff 15- and
20-footen; and rarely missing a free
throw, the Wildcat's Tioved out in
front and out of reach despite the
final efforts to come back by Steve
Lipson, Tony Giovanoni, and Christiansen,

This year's team promises to be a
real surprise. Varsity Coach Walt
Drysdale has his entire infield returning
from last year with many
boys moving up from the JVs to
complete the lineup. -
Tryouts for the team have been
held and Coach Drysdale was quite
pleased with the result;. . .
Around the infield* Mr. Drysdal«
will have junior Steve Howder returning
behind the plate. Steve won
honorable mention in the All-City
ratings last year as a s-ophomorc and
has an excellent chance to capture
the first club position this year. At
first base, two boys will alternate between
the first sack and the pitcher's

both veterans, will cover
the initial base. Help is also expected
from Steve Somers.

Seek to Upset Strong
Eagles Next Week
Exactly one week from today.
Coach Stan Stewart's Indian cagers
will attempt to pay the vicious
Eagles back for the drubbing they
gave us on the gridiron. But it may
not be so easy.
John McGrath's highly experienced
team has been rated tops and
they've earned it. McGraih has four
boys, or giants as the case may be,
who tower over everybody at 6-3,
6-3, 6-4, and 6-6. However; he admits
he has one problem—iueonsist*
ettcy.
"We have talent, experience, and
height but we've been hot and cold/'
was McGrath's observation. In the
Palo Alto tournament over the holidays,
the Eag?es hit for a measly
eight points in tlie second half
against Aragon and came back the
next night to sink 40 in the first half
against North Salinas.
The Eagles, who opened their
AAA season this year by squashing
a stunned Wilson Warrior team, 68-
21, have a midget by comparison in
Bill Chang, a 5-5 forward and an
important Washington playmakcr.
The rest of the Washington aviary
includes Stu Watterson (6-6), E3-
Wilson (6-4), Ken Whitcomb (6-3),
Ken Balzer (6-3), and Phil Scramaglia
(6-1). All played last year.
"Scramaglia seems to be our best
bail-handler," speculated McGrath,
"but isn't extraordinary although be
does his job well,"
Wattcrson is' good on the outsideshot
and Wilson jumps exceptionally
well and boih can move well inside
and out.
Yes, the Indians will be going
after a victory ncrt week but they'll
have a *ong way to go to upset the

for the roost part, good students will choose the "good, but more
difficult" instractois, leaving the "easy ones" for the not-so-devoted
latecomers.
The system also offers a more tangible reward for scholarship
than the few scribbled letters on a report card—perhaps just
the incentive needed by the intelligent-but-lazy group.

In regard to Cuba he s^id,
"The water pipes were cut at

prove that the United States
was not stealing water from
Cuba." He added that "the
U.S. will probably build distillation
tanks on the base."
(There is no treaty with Castro
to supply water to the
base.)
On the subject of Foreign
Aid, he stated, "We should
be more hard-boiled on giving
our aid and give it only to
countries who show a willing-
ness to keep their independence."
When asked his opinion of
the present voting age, Mr.
Maillard implied that he was
in favor of lowering the age
limit. He also remarked that
he hopes his visits to the high
schools will show the students,
the future voters, how important
it is to get out and vote.
Towards the conclusion of
the discussion he was asked
about the local problem of gerrymandering
and if it was settled.
Laughingly he replied,
"It's settled as far as the Democtats
are concerned—they're

'... Where Credit Is Due r
There is an old adage that states v/e should "give credit where
credit is due." There is quite a bit of credit due to our varsity
cagers who missed a berth in the AAA playoffs by only one game.
It should be noted, however, that the four ball clubs who defeated
Coach Stewart's charges are the four teams who will be
going for all the marbles in the playoffs.
This scribe would like to take the opportunity to congratulate
Steve Lipson who was chosen the "Prep of the Week" by
I he San Francisco sports writers for his fine 21 point output
against Polytechnic in the team's 75-44 victory over the Parrots,
Incidentally that 75 point effort is thus far the highest scoring
achievement by any AAA club this year.
Two other boys who deserve a pat on the back are Bob Christiansen
and Calvin Colcman. Bob was the club's leading scorer
with 98 points and he was instrumental in all five of the team's
victories. Calvin i- s the boy who surprised everyone. Despite the
fact that he was; the shortest center in the league, Calvin emerged
as one of. the AAA's fine reboundcrs and four times during the
season he amassed more than ten points. Another surprise performer
-was the squad's other center, Mike Paulle. In the Cards*
near-upset of Washington, Mike outscored the Eagles' All-Chy
center. Ed Wilson, 15 points to .seven and out-rebounded him,
eight to six.
Although he missed the first two games f;t tha ?ea^on, Steve
VHaiitin." the team's fine outside shooter turned iivar; excellent
performance at guard as he failed to notch at least ten.points only
three times during the year. The other guard, Tony Giavanonni,
didn't receive too much recognition during the sermon because
he didn't score many points but many times when the forwards
would score, it was the result of Tony's fine passing and playmaking.
' ' '
LASTLY, THE MAN who deserves the most credit is the
coach-. .Mr. Stan Stewart. While all of the aforementioned boys
turned in; fine performances I doubt that any one of them would
tell you he could have done it without Mr. Stewart's fine coaching.
To the members of the club who will graduate in June, may
I wish you the best of luck in the future and to Coach Stewart I
onIj* hope that you can give us as good a team next year as you.

Stan Stewart's varsity cagers
came on strong in the fourth
. period to whip Galileo's stuD-

As ibe first half closed, it appeared,
as though Stan Buchanan's charges
were going to pull an upset over the
Indian five. After a stifling Lion defense
and a 15-point scoring binge by
Chris Grey, who. ended the game with

AW SHUCKS, FELLAS
XAtf stevedore, before each damn,
Stops to consider where he am:
The lumberjack is careful, too,
Of what be sap in front of who,
And if surrounded by the young,
The taxi driver curbs his tongue.
The reason men speak softly thus is
That circumstances alter cusses, •_
Ogdcn Xash's little words of wisdom are worth noting at
Lowell today, where vulgarities, profanities, blasphemies, and
obscenities, are commonplace in the mouths of many. It seems
that the bright young pre-collegiate set has discovered the language
that used to be the exclusive property of a far lower class,
and that, armed with this additional vocabulary* presumably
memorized by heart from the walls of some Third Street privy,
they have proceeded to befoul the air at Lowell. .' v
A knowledge of foul language is not necessarily bad in itself,
in fact, you might even chalk it up as knowledge of the world.
The young pheudosophisticates who use it at Lowell, however,
have never, unlike the stevedore and his burly cousins, learned the
priceless lesson of tact that must accompany such knowledge.
At almost any time during the school day, you can stand in the halls
and watch the, clean-cut, well-turned-out young gentlemen of Lowell
strolling along tossing four-letter obscenities around like beanbags. At
every point that the conversation becomes somewhat rough, the voices
of the little gentlemen rise noticeably in pitch and volume, presumably
S3 that everyone near them will be aware of their superior sophistication
and breeding. :-. : ^ '
This lack of savoir-faire among the boys might be thought to
be a great discourtesy to the girls of 1-oweU, but oh no! The lovely
ladies are apt to be just as foul-mouthed as their boy friends.

BE A CAPITALIST—START INVESTING NOW
By TOM DARCEY
Man's material welfare equals
natural resources plus human
ene r gy times tools.
The above statement is in a
sense an equation, somewhat
like a word equation one encounters
in a mathematics
course. However, it i.- more
than a mere statement of fact.
It is :i principle by which the
L'.S. economy functions. Material
welfare (i.e. goods, commodities,
etc.) depends upon an
abundance t.f natural resources,
manpower, and tools for existence.
For Economic Growth
Of the three in'cr-dependeM. necessities
for material abundance
which arc tcquired for economic
growth in our country, tools are the
least easily procurable.. Americans
arc blessed with an abundance of
natural resources and able manpower.
Tools, however, arc not taken
from the ground, piped from beneath
the soil, or readily abundant in finished
form. Tools must be created.
The creation of tools for the production
of a larger and greater
amount of goods and services (i.e.
economic growth) i" made possible
by means of savings and investments.
Saving and investing (the term investing
embraces the depositing of
money in a savings account) arc essential
to the development of tools
and machinery necessary for industrial
growth. To provide one million
new workers with tools and machin-
ery each year requires an $18,000
capital investment per worker. Thus,
it requires $18 billion to provide one
million persons with jobs each year
in our country. Another $20 billion
is needed to maintain the plants and
machines utilized by the 67 million
Americans already working.
EDITOR STRIKES BACK
Editor:
Recently I have noted a decline in
both the quality And Quantity in
which our papers are produced. An
evident increase in advertisements
has curtailed the insertion of copy
to such an extent that The Lowell
now resembles a compact model of
The Shopping News. Furthermore,
the removal of Localites and late or
inadequate coverage of student activities
has caused both displeasure
and disapproval on the part of the
students in general.
It "might be suggested that if the
journalism staff cannot fulfill its obligation
to the student body, the editor
might seek the aid of students
not partaking in journalism classes.
For $.15, the staff should be able to
provide a paper with a little class to
it.
Chuck Lindner
H-U Reg 252
Mr. Lindner:
The recent decline in quantity was
caused by a 50 per cent cut in our
student body subsidy. Had we not
increased our advertising, you would

Alex Argucllo, whom she met when
she was lost in the cavernous hails
of the "oli" Lowell on her first day
there.

In between gradually remodeling the house, which Sier family, moved into

Rummaging through a drawer in the studio, she found several Christmas card

ait-occasion greeting card and Christmas card designs have been patented and
released by the card manufacturing company formed by herself ijtd her brother.
Although her only formal education in art was gained during a six-month
term at the Fashion Art School of San Francisco, Marty Links never had
any intention of doing anything, else, and readily confessed "I always loved
to draw." *

Are Sports Too Involved

It is late in the evening as I sit down before my typewriter to bang
out this column. EarKor this evening I bought a newspaper and read about
a woman who was murdered in fall view of all her neighbors, none of
whom did anything to aid or assist her in any way. When police questioned
these Upright Citizens as to why th«y did nothing, the replies were all the
same: "I didu't want to get involved."
SUCH IS THE DEPLORABX-E attitude of many Upright Citizens
today. Quite a lew of these Upright Cilicns don't like thc way the country
is being run; but do they write to their Congressmen? X-i. They don't

Take the simple matter of salutation. Uow we know the correct form as

INHIBITIONS
By CASSIUS BINGO'
(Sote: Mr. "dingo's" real name is Jess Tepper—from the
the Lick Paper.)
I'm a pretty nice guy. And there are a lot of things
which I think are O.K. Like people voicing their opin-
ions. That's what made America great. Even if the
opinions are wrong, that's O.K., too.
And humor I love. Even when it isn't very good I
think it's worth a try, I love humor, even when it is poor
it*s OX. And satire! I love satire. Sometimes it's even
pretty funny. Sometimes.
Even when bad writing is concerned with sonv
flung as dear to my heart as Civil Rights, it's O.K., 1
guess. Like it's O.K. to label all picketers wittily, as
picnickers, who arc trying to get thrown in jail. Even
if it is completely wrong, that is really a spot of all
right.
. . . Anyway, 1 think that she article was OJC. And if
the author will settle for it, fine again. And if that is
what such a fine respected school such as Lowell will at*
cepl, fine again. But I bad always thought of Lowell as
something more than just an O.K. school*
But getting back to the article, (it seems that I
keep trying to get away *rom the article) again. The
authoi sums up by saying that without the aforemen-
tioned characters perhaps the demonstrations would
gain Dignity. Now I don't want to be picayunish, but I
kind of feil that the fight to gain life and liberty, equal-
ity and fraternity, in short, all of our democratic
ideals, his some dignity inherent m it But I might be
wrong. The belief that perhaps all men are equal, and
the belief that all people should have an opportunity
to live in this land of ours, and tne belief that 100
years without true equality is too long a time, perhaps
all these beliefs aren't dignified.
Perhaps the author is right. Perhaps these two kids
should do something dignified. Like stay home and take
a bath???
Dear Mr. Tepper.' ... >O
In the civil rights fr^riZ^.^z.i^^gnity h an ab-
solute essential. And a much needed one. fjr where can
you go if you do not have the respect and backing of the
majority? You seem to forget that it is they, (the employ-
ers, the hotel-owners, etc.) thai must be fbr ones to take
the necess.-try steps to make civil rights a reality far the
minority races. : •/ "
•By AVA SWARTZ'
As a discussion leader in the San Francisco Con-
ference on Race and Religion, and a participant in
a panel discussion on civii rights at El Bethel Church/
I saw clearly how understanding can cripple hatred,
and knowledge alleviate iguorance.
// ts my belief that a major rtgment of prejudice is
based upon fear. The fear of being overpowered, the fear
of the other man getting ahead, the fear of not being able
to feel superior. And so I feel that prejudice is fear based
upon ignorance.
It is much easier to black out the aims of the sin-
cere demonstrator, and illuminate only the glaring in-
equities of a "Liberal Lucy/ 1 or a "Free-thinking
Freddie." 1 am sure you have seen people who arc al-
ready prejudiced become more so just by observing
some demonstrators. For once again they may feel
superior.
Which brings me to another type, the White Hypo-
crite. He is the one who says, "Of course I'm not
prejudiced. Why some of my best friends are Negroes."
They are the ones who will pat a Negro on the back,
telling themselves how "liberal" they are.
You se*t they look upon members of the Negro race
as Negroes, not as individuals. So, a patronizing attitude
is the natural result. To really have equality, people must
be liked or disliked, net for what they are, but for whom
they are. As an example, is Martin Luther King respected
fust because he is a Negro or because of bis dignity and
convictions as a human being?
Although some of the demonstrators may accom-
plish their purpose at the time, just by the power of
numbers; what have they really accomplished? For
there is always a minority that wilt demonstrate not
for the cause of humar dignity, but for the sake of
action itself. Forcing one group to blindly accept an-
other is not the solution. I think that the demonstrators
suck as the ones I have depicted would do a lot more
for civil rights by merely staying out of the picture
If one sincerely wants to ^overcome" centuries of
age-old prejudice, one must have an understanding
of the real problem.
Only civil rights obtains the aforementioned ••>

Page Four THE LOWELL
What's the Matter With
Lowell's Baseball Team?
By RANDY KOERNIG
Whpt'sthe matter with Lowell's varsity baseball team??? Be-
fore the start of the current season the varsity nine looked Hkc
quite a promising lot, but NOW, I'm beginning to wonder. On
paper, the team looks excellent; good pitching, four veterans from
last year in the infield, three good outfielders, and one of the best
catchers in the city. Unfortunately the Academic Athletic Asso-
ciation insists that nil games must be played on a field made of
earth and grass, not paper.
Perhaps one of the team's biggest problems is no bench
strength. I don : mean that the team docs not have many accom-
plished ballplayers on ti>e bench, the team just has no one (liccr-
ally) on the bench. Pelieve it or not, the varsity baseball squad has
exactly two, count 'em, two, substitutes. There are no reserve out-
fielders and no reserve infielders. There are two regular firstbase-
men and one sub for that position and there is one fine regular
catcher and one reserve at that position. There arc four starting
pitchers.
A prominent bone of contention is the team'.* lack of consist-
ency. After being thrashed soundly in its first two outings the
squad came back to beat Woodrow Wilson by the score of 11-5.
Then, they blew a lead and lost to Lincoln, 8-5. Three weeks ago
the club shocked the local sport*? world by upsetting Galileo's
Lions, 10-6. And what did the team do four days later? They
dropped a if-4 decision to Mission, one of the weakest teams in
the city. If that's not inconsistency, nothing is.
In -he past I have devoted a great deal of column space to our
varsity baseballers, but perhaps ;he students will find the track,
swim, or golf teams more interesting.

Lincoln, 71-42; 120 r s
Also Are Victorious
Lowell*=• varsity and 120-pound
trackstcrs had no trouble in brcez-
inR past Lincoln's cimlcrmen hut the
130"s just couldn't seem to git start-
oil against the Mustangs. The Cards*
Don Boyle ran away with the var-
siv 880 which was supposed to be
Lincoln's strongest event.
Lou Kirtman was the man of the
hour in both the low and high hurdles
as he coasted to victory with litres of
14.9 fjconils in the high hurdles and
20.2 in tie lows, Kirtman and Boyle
were also part of the Indian relay team
which wen the 880*yard rilay with a
time of 1*54.6.
Tn the high jump it was Lowell
all the way as Carl StcfFcr., Carson
English, and Mike Carter finished
one, two, and three, in tli»* order.
Carl jumped five feet, eight inches.
Guy Burns took a first in the discus
as he twirled the disc 135 /«'* three
and a quarter inches. Don Quok was
first in the 220-yard dash with a time
of 23.2 seconds. The final varsity score
was Lowell 71, Lincoln 42,
Meanwhile, the 130's were being
outclassed by the Mustangs, 64-40,
as the Cards were able to haul in
only three first places. One of these
was nailed down by Doug Berry in
the high jump. Doug won the event
with a leap of five feet, five inches.
Another first went to Ed Hsu in
the 120 low hurdles with a time of
14.3 seconds. The third number one
spot went to Panero in the 660. His
time was 1:29.9.
Lowell's 120'poitnders annihilated the
the Little Unks by the score of >5-22.
Eagles Edge Tribe,
3-1, in 1-Hit Win
Washington's Eagles, paced by
Tony Matthews' brilliant one-hit
pitching, beat Lowell's Indians by
the score of 3-1, April 14, at West
Sunset.
Though Matthews yielded or.Iy a
single safety and struck cut seven
Indians, he did walk eight, and saved
Lowell from a shutout.
The Tribe scored a run in the fir&t,
but thr*t was all, and Big Ed Rose-
borough dropped a tough game to
even his pitching record at 1-1.

Bears Decision Indian
Baseballers, 5 to 4
Behind 4-0 as eary a? the first in-
ning, Lowell couldn't catch the Mis-
sion Bear*, and finally succumbed by
thc score of 5-4, at Big Rcc recently.
Junior southpaw Jim Malick start-
ed for the losers, and after getting
the first Mission batter out, Jim pro-
ceeded to load the bases on walks
and yield a three-run triple to Rich
Cook. It was the showers for Malick,
and Coach Drysdalc brought in Jim
Lee, who, after giving up a single
safety to bring in the fourth run, re-
tired the side.
Lowell, the team that stunned the
AAA baseball circuit *jy beating top-
notch Galileo, made a run at the
Bears by scoring two runs in the sec-
ond inning to cut the Bear lead in
half. With steve Hedeman and Ed
Roscborough getting some clutch
hits, it looked as though the Tribe
would explode and break the game
wide open. But steady pitching by
Mission's Marron kept Lowell from
adding more runs, and prevented the
Indians from winning their third
game of the season.
Fine hurling from Jim Lee kept
the winning-minded Bears from scor-
ing more than the one run they put
across the plate in the third frame,
and it looked as though the Indians
would be out of reach, trailing, after
three innings, 5-2.

When the Lions tallied a run in
the first inning, it appeared the Tribe
would be in for another long day
But the stubborn Indians tie.! it
up in the second inning.
With Greg Sinclair doing the
chucking for the Lions, the Tribe
blasted out six big runs to mount
up a 7-1 lead.
A Big One.
The BIG THIRD inning was high-
lighted by Steve Hedeman's two-
run single, and hits by Don Cooper
and Fred Alicea. Also clutch singles
by winning pitcher Mike Groza, first
baseman EdRoseborough,and catrh-
er Steve Howder, helped the Indians'
cause.
But the Lions, famous for eating
up leads and then overtaking their
foes, scored five runs in the fourth
inning, and made the game dose
Willie Does It
In the top of the seventh frame,
Willie Villaviccncio slammed a two-'

Senior Prom...
'Where'?
It seems that the social cli-
max of the senior year is go-
ing to occur at a place that
dors not exist.
For, the Senior Prom is
going to be held, not in the
"Twilight Zor.a** but at the
"Hilton Hotel, a structure that
has not yet been built.
Carol Fromm, chairman of
the Senior Prom Committee,
has revealed that the theme of
ihe Prom, which will take
place on June 5, will be "Taste
of Honey." Carol also stated
that bids will be $3.50 and that
Paul Summers will be on hand
to photograph all the lovely
couples. •
But all this rests on the rath-
er interesting assumption that
Mr. Hilton gets his hotel built
on time.

an array of gigantic flowers and

vide a romantic and mystical atmos-
phere io the 1964 Junior Prom,
"Wonderland By Xigh»," held at
Lowell on May 9.
The story, Alice in Wottderlaitd,
was the basts for the original theme
and its characters were used for the
decorations of the gym, court, and
cafeteria.
The entrance way to lbs pyni was
grass-lined to resemble the rabbit
hole into which Alice fell. The hall-
way toward room 41 was decorated
with drawings resembling such well
known characters ii; the wonderland
fantasy as the infamous Dodo Bird.
As the spectator followed the hall
he received the impression of a
steady shrinking' sensation due to
the fact that ihe figures grew larger
as one i>roirr;s«-r.l along the hallway.

These well contrived decorations
were provided by about 100 helpful
Lowcllites who volunteered their aid
on the Saturday morning preceding
the proi;* to decorate the area.These
same students again rendered their
assistance on the following Sunday
in removing the scenery.
Entertainment during the Prom
was provided by the band of Ray
Hackctt and the voice of Bobby
Kre.'inan.who made a rather late ap-
prarance. Due to his late Arrival
Mr, Freeman was unable to fulfill
hi* alloted time for singing and WAS
able only io perform two songs.

DID YOU EVER HEAR ABOUT CHARLIE?
You know Charlie? Sure, everybody knows Charlie. You sue
him everywhere. Good ol* Charlie, the friendly neighborhood lush.
They say there's 70,000 guys like Charlie in San Francisco. That's
no surprise. Usually it seems like more.
Notbin* like a good slug of the oV juice, is there Charlie? Coujtla
shots under your belt and you really jeel like a ttuw. You're not scared
then, are you Charlie? You can really talk to people, then. Yeah man,
a little booze and you're really the life of the party. You're lookln 9
good, boy. So what if you'r flushed and sweating and your tongue is a
little f bick and you can't walk straight? So what? Nobody minds. They
laugh. So what if you wake up the next morning feeling sick and
ashamed? Have a little hair of the oV dog, you'll feel O.K. You were
a big man last night, Charlie boy. Yeah, you can [ntt it down and keep
it there.
Yessiree, friends, liquor really does great things for people.
Just watch the adults, you can't go wrong. After all, how could
mature, sophisticated people ever have a party without a little
of the of firewater to liven things upr'J&st watch 'em go, gang.
Who knows? Maybe they're your parents. Just look at ol f Dad,
wobbling around guffawing at his own dirty joke?. Doesn't he
look mature? Look at ol f Mom, bumping into things, giggling fit
to kill. Doesn't she look sophisticated? Maybe it's not your home,
but ten-to-one, you've seen it. You sec it all the time.
Okay, gang, you've seen your betters in action, now howzabout try-
ing a little shot of the oV hooch yourself. Sure, you're old enough to
be sophisticated and mature. Seventeen is plenty old enough. How
about a Senior Party? That's a great place to start. Come on, slug it
down. Show 'em you're a man. Come on, girls, have a little drink. Boy,
sure tastes good! Makes you cough a little, does it? Feel slightly
nauseated? Don't let it show, somebody might think you can't take it.
Have some more, you'll feel real good soon.
That's right, you feel real good. What's that, you feel dizzy?
You're laughing.Vrctty funny, isn't it ? Have a little more. You're
talking »«v/. Wow! you never made such £Ood conversation in
your life. Why not ? You're smart. You're really intelligent. You're
about the smartest, best-looking person in the world, now. Have
a little drink. But you really !ike everybody around you now.
They're so smart and they tell such great jokes. Everything is so
funny. Have another. Yeah, you really love these people. They
better not cross you. though. You're tough. Go ahead, get out
there and do something. Show everybody how cool you are.
Wlvit, you can't get up? Have another drink. You don't want
any more ? You don't feel so good ? You fee! a little sick? You want
to go somewhere and lie down? Whoops, there it goes! Why are
all these people holding on to you, dabbing at you with handker-
chiefs? Why is everybody staring at you? Come on. the night air
will make you feel better. That's better, isn't it? Why are you
shivering? Feeling sick again? Never mind, here's a nice gutter.
Don't worry, soon you'll be home, then you can lie down and pass
out. Tell everybody not to worry. You can hold it.
Maybe you can't make U home. Ever ride in the back of a cop car?
Ever been down to the station? Ever had your fingerprints taken? Ever
see a detention cage? Ever see a drunk tank? Ever smell one? Ever hear
a guy with the D.T.'s screaming? Ever wonder what he sees?
Xo, go ahead. Have a little drink. Come on, kid. This'll make
a man of you. Come on, girls, show you can take it like a lady^
Just pray there'll be somebody around to take you home when
you're too plastered to take care of yourself. That's it. Have a little
drink. Be sophisticated and mature. Get a little taste of what it
feels like to be a guy like Charlie. —Corey Flintoff
High Soph
Swims for
"There was a tremendous crane
above us with cameras on a plat-
form, and there were frogmen below
us." laughed Patty Willard while de-
scribing the activity when the San
Francisco Merioncttes were featured
on "The Wide World of Sports" in
April and October of 1963.
The Merionettcs, a synchronized
swimming' team consisting of 50
pirls, was formed in 1957. Since this
time the team has travelled through-
out the United States. The Mevion-
cttes have been named the All-
American Synchronized Swimming
team for 1961, 1962, and 1963. They
have captured seven consecutive na-
tional team division titles.
High sophomore Patty Willard has
been J member of the Marionettes for
V/z years. She explained bow she be-
came a m>'-nber. "One day I went to
Larson Pool and a meet was fust end"
fag. I was interested, so f tried out—'
and got it,*' she recalls.

escapades here and abroad as she
tries to absolve middle-class society
of its social prejudices.
The Colorado count-yside is beau,
tiful, the props and .'costumes are
good, am! the music is fins. But the
slowness of the plot—a trial to the
intelligence of the viewer—overshad-
ows these'assets. Crowded with too
much song and too little dialog, the
film drags along until the viewer
cares not whether Molly sinks or
swims. —Mary Ann Brakebill

For Noise and a Few Laughs
Lovers of speed, beauty, and ex-
citement will find these attractions
along with tremendous noise and a
few laughs at Cotati Drag Strip.
Located just off the freeway on
Highway 101 north of Petaluma, the
str.p is within an hour's fast drive
from San Vrancisco. Time trials
usually start in the mornings of the
first and third Sundays of the month.
One can come early and enjoy a
large array of wheels from motor-
cycles and Volkswagons to the pow-
erful rails bidding for a spot in their
class eliminations.
Admission is about $1.50 and in-
cludes parking and grandstand seats.
Those who arc in a mood for excite-
ment or a few kicks can pay a few
more dollars and scramble their own
heaps through a trial.
If ;| contestant is good or lucky
then lie can win either a class or an
overall trophy. However, even the
losers at. least ''discover the truth
about; *hcir car's top speed on the
quarter-mile straightaway where the
limits are held.
Highlighting the day,in the after-
noon are the drag races between the
sleek rails. The first-time spectator
may be startled by all the smoke, but
it's only coming from ithe gasoline
soaked slicks as the rait* accelerate
to their, top speeds of; around 150

Well, Lowell's social season is in full swing what with proms and parties
and certain infamous theatrical productions. And, of course, there are still
those who insist upon being deemed as T.H.N.L.K. (The Honorable Nuts
Lil High).
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY ?
Les I-acy and Steve Lewis open coconuts in class? ... or i.e looks at Steve ("Good Looking 11 ) Somers? ... or why Ken Cook and
Steve Lenter go lizard limiting? ... and then we want to know why Bobbie
Goldkind hhishcs when sh; mentions what happened after a certain dinner
dance with Gnven Giffinpr;' Fred Cail, and Tom Skillington (State)?
AND THEN WE HAVE THE JUNIORS ...
The decorations at the Junior Prom were beautiful. All there had to
iffwc that the gym and cafe were truly turned into u "Wonderland Dy
Night.'* But will the decorating committee ever forget all the miles of
crepe paper they had to "Crimp?"
Some of the parti^-g^tL.beforehand were those of Pete Bagatelos and
Jeff Frates. "After^&rtics' 1 included those of Sharie Horowitz, Du0y Jen-
nings, and Debbie Gershman.
DID ANYONE ?..
... heai about Guy Bums and his "bizzare" incident? ... see Ruth
Mohr, Gail Lombard], Margaret Gamey and two undentified males in the '64
K&nchero? . . . hear that Mike Stichlcr gets Karen Pillow's world famous
Afghan that she's knitting on the condition that he marries her? .. .
THOSE SWINGING. SENIORS
There was quite a turnout at the Senior Party, "Adventurer in Paradise."
The festivities began at a no-hostcss cocktail party given at Karen Kroloff's
house before the party attended by the 41 hostesses and their dates. What
with the dreamy music and beautiful Hawaiian decorations, everyone had a
srezt time.
: "
Those having an especially good time seemed to be Lowellites such as
Dave George who was quite willing to attempt to win the lightweight box-
in? championship of the world. His sparring mate was Bill Conklic. We're
qill trying to figure out why Cheryl Markuse left the party so early or why
Diane, Salomon and Russ Morris kept stealing atl the balloons. And what
about Joyce and Andy Vena (City) and that wild Mamba?
Dave Barnett gave a breakfast after the party. Seen there getting ter-
ribly confused over daylight-saving time, playing ping-pong and looking
•hrough Freshman Yearbook's were Horti Johnson and Bob A kins; Kathy
Jacobs and Marty Winters; Dave Barnett and Ann Olsen (Redwood);
Jud/ Perlis and Darron Feldstdn; Sue Snow and Rich Smith. AH in attend-

return their library books on time.

What's the Matter With
Lowell's Tennis Team?
By RANDY KOERNIC
What is the matter with Lowell's tennis team??? Where is
their sense of fair plav ami equality? Have they no ethics?? At
the moment I believe there is one word for the members of the
team: GRKKDY! For ihc past 16 years the 'Yacquctecrs" have
done nothing but take unfair advantage of the other AAA tennis
squads.
As if taking \0 championships in a row weren't bad enough,
they have one young* man on the team who is especially greedy.
Me is (Ireg Shcphard. who prides himself in being the best tennis
player, in his age group, :n Xorthern California.
Xot only do these young gentlemen of. tomorrow uphold the
lo-year-old tradition of winning the title, but they also haven't
been defeated in league competition in eight years. As if it isn't
bad enough that they pushed the "Mule kids" around for another
yeai. but nexc year should be a repeat performance of the last 16
as moM of the boys on the elul; this year are either juniors or
bomores.
Despite the greedy, self-centcrc-d practices of the team. I kinda
e it.

Blah!
The '64 Political Campaign
Platforms and Personalities
Hollywood is sinking deeper and deeper into oblivion. Holly-
wood movies are getting more sloppy as the months go by. If
you've seen a movie in the last year, you probably know just
what we're trying to say. But why this recent decline in quality?
One reason is acting talent. Or should we say the lack of it?
Making pictures has become only a hobby to most prominent act-
ors and actresses who have invested their capital into other busi-
nesses. The day of the Jean Harlow and the Clark Gable is a
dead era which has bequeathed to the present such great stars
as Frankie Avalon in his latest tense, dramatic dual role as a
singing hot dog (that's surfing jargon) and a "Potato Bug.'*
In the past 12 months we have seen some 120 productions,
most of them six times or more and at the most, four of those were
in the rare "excellent" category for a. motion picture.
There seems to be, also, a severe shortage of accurate tech-
nical directors, and, when they do nnd a good one, he's undoubt-
edly asleep most of the time if not out for coffee or something
stronger. One victim of the faulty technical director is the mili-
tary picture. In Advance to the Rear, soldiers of the Union Army
during the Civil War are wearing trousers with zippers, a clever
invention which unfortunately didn't come along until 60 years
after the Civil War. With all due respect to Mr. Strauss, this
should'vc been caught. In No Time for Sergeants Andy Griffith
(PLO), Nick Adams and even" other guy in the barracks were
wearing dog tags outside their T-shirts, a violation so severe that
a real Air Force sergeant would strangle any airman with them
until he was blue.
More technical errors appeared in pictures such as Days of
Wine and Roses. The last scene of this picture shows Jack Leni-
mon looking desolately out the window of a San Frandsco apart-
ment with a flashing neon sign reflecting the word "BAR" in the
window. Any member of the Alcohol Beverage Control will tell
you that it is illegal to have the word *'bar M on the outside of any
establishment in San Francisco that engages in the dispensing
of alcoholic beverages. In a more recent picture, Robin and the
Seven Hoods, there was a reference to Mickey Mouse who didn't
come along until ten years after the film's time.
Movies arc perhaps the most deceptive things to ever plague
the world. In an upcoming Tony Curtis-Jack Lemmon flick, The
Great Race, to be released in December, 1965, Lemmon lives in
a four-story haunted castle which in reality is only six feet high.
The effect is achieved with lights, sound, and camera angles. In
the same picture Lemmon jumps out a 17-story building which
is achieved entirely on a stage sct,c
On a detailed tour through Warner Bros. Studio this summer,
•we had a chance to sec how a movie is made. Warner Brothers;
the largest movie producing studio in the world, has on its back
lot three city blocks of actual size which can be converted into
any city in the world, two authentic western towns, and a com-
plete jungle set, perfect for those Hercules and the Three Stooges
Meet Godzilla and Tarzan for Bridge-type pictures. However,with
all this Jack L. Warner is losing more money than ever before
because movies aren't what they used to be. They have no plot,
motivation, or story interest. If you've seen some of the lead bal-
loons to come out of the movie colony in the past year such as
A Global Affair, Walk a Tightrope, Mutiny on the Bounty, or
The Third Secret, then it's understandable if you're watching
television this weekend. —Duffy Jennings

Vacation is over—and all too soon
sc ns to be the general feeling. But
the reality of graduation and going
to co.iegc is over so near for many.
And deciding what college to go to
is one of the most important and dif-
ficult tasks of your senior year. This
column will be in The Lowell every
issue telling about a college or uni-
versity: where it is, how large, ma-
jors offered, and what life is like
there.
Ivy covered walls make the Uni-
versity of the Pacific look l:kc the
Ivy League college typical of ba:k
East. Nevertheless, this small pri-
vate university of approximately
2t*/C0 students is situated in Stock-
ion, just 90 miles east of San Fran-
cisco.
Pacific, as it is called by its students,
is the first college chartered by the
State of California in 1851. It moved
from San Jose in 1924 to its present
location. Being built now is a new
building for the schools of Dentistry
and Pharmacy.
Pacific is a residence campus. Res-
idence halls, fraternities and sorori-
ties, provide the housing for most of
the students.
To be admitted to freshman stand'
ing at the University, the applicant
must have completed 20 high school
grades during the 10, 11. and 12
grades. At least 12 must be in aca-
demic subjects and all 20 with recom-
mending grades.
Along with the grades, the Schol-
astic Aptitude Test must have been
taken with satisfactory resulting
scores. The third criterion is sup-
porting recommendations of fitness
and character.
The cost of the room, board, tui-
tion, and fees for one year vary:
Women: $2,145-$2,225. Men: $2,115-
$2,195. That docs not include the
cost at Raymond College, or the
School of Pharmacy. And the above
price differs as to one's living quart-
ers.
The University is comprised of three
liberal arts colleges; Pacific, Raymond,
and Elbert Covel, and five professional
schools; schools of Education, Engin-
eering, Pharmacy, Dentistry and the
Conservatory of Music. The graduate
school grants post-baccalaureate work
in several fields.
Secondary to academic excellence
is therrole of activities. "There is a
religious program, student govern-
ment, dances, fraternities and sorori-
ties, forensics, music and an active
following of intercollegiate sports.

Many Americans these days are
casting the political eye on the two
candidates for President of the
United States.
Democratic candidate and present
holder of this office, Lyndon John-
son has, along with Republican can-
didate Barry GoUlwutcr, launched
into the most interesting election of
our times.
Abolish the Draft
Included in his proposals is an
abolishment ot* the Selective Service
System or draft, and much empha-
sis on de-centralizing and reducing
the power of the Federal Govern-
ment. ,
Although he is sometimes labeled
as a radical anil a fanatic, his ideas
arc based strictly on the Constitu-
tion. He feels the Soviet menace,
civil rights and an increasing trend
toward semi-socialism coula be han-
dled effectively, tactfully and 'effi-
ciently by simply adhering to the
Constitution.
Young and old alike have expe-
rienced the renewing of American
spirit and pride when listening to
this eloquent and dynamic speaker.
Although he is often misquoted and
misunderstood, the basic ideas of
democracy are always present.
Conservatism is not "thinking old-
fashioned." Today the misconceived
idea that the basic idiULS and prin-
ciples of democracy be"changed ac-
cording to ihc needs of the people
can lead to the effectual demonish-
ment of democracy. This gradual
change is shown by the increase in
power of the central government, our
soft policy with respect to Russia,
and the general decline of individu-
ality-

Depths Experience
Morale Point fro
Playoffs,Turkey Day
By RANDY KOERNIG
./4.J this reporter sits before hi* trusty tyyetvriter, Lowell's varsity
football team has yet to play its first game of the season and the scribe
is asking himself, "How far will our noble griddars go this year? 19
: And it seems to him that there are many other people who have bear
wondering the same thing. It is because of these -wondering* that he
presents this first literary offering of the semester to his readers.
First of all, a recap of the previous season is in order. The
reporter recalls a team which started out by going through the
initial two games of the year without scoring a single point, rose
triumphantly in the midst of the season witrt a thrilling upset victory
over Lincoln, and then fell dismally to defeat in its'last two
outings against Poly and St. Ignatius.
But so much said for last year. He is concerning himself with
this year, not last year. The scribe has seen Coach Felling's new
troops in practice fhis year. They are bigger, stronger, faster, and,
in the reporter's almost unbiased journalistic opinion, they are.
better than'.Jast'year's warriors. So much better that he sees no
reason why thc-club should not be in the playoffs.
Two other factors which should aid the team this year are
depth and experience. This year's team has much greater depth
in all departments and to further help the situation, every boy on
the starting eleven saw considerable action last season, some of
them even playing first string. Another strong point in the club's
favor is team spirit. The morale has been at a high pitch since
practice began.
Ail things considered, this reporter feels that the 1964 edition
of Lowell's varsity football team should, go quite far and in the
right direction. In fact he doesn't see how the squad can miss the
playoffs this time around. The scribe's theory is, if he and everyone
else turn out for all the games and cheer the team r 6n, he,
sees no reason why the team can't "bring home the bacon" as
they did in 1961. He hopes his theory proves true. / :
Washington Tips Cards
In Grid Opener, 12-6
Taking 1 full advantage of two Indian mis cues, the Eagles of
Washington scored two touchdowns in the first 21 seconds of
the final period to tip Lowell in the AAA season opener.
'Although the Cardinals seemed to
have the strongest offensive unit,
throughout the contest, it was primarily
a battle of defenses. Lowell's
defense was the first to pay off.
Late in. the first quarter Eagle
halfback Kate Kirtman fumbled
after being hit hard by Kevin O'Neill
and Dave Milanc?i. MUanesi immediately
pounced on the: loose ball and
it'took the Tribe only seven plays
" until halfback Steve Howdcr darted
into the end zone from two yards
out.
In the third quarter the Eagles
got two breaks in a row. On one play
Indian halfback Jack Tacchino took
a pitchont, rolled to his left, and
threw a pass which was dropped in
the end zone by Bruce Rosenberg.
On thr.very next play, Howder took
a pitchout, rotted to; his right, and
buzzed a pass into the waiting arms
of MOanesi for an apparent touchdown.
Unfortunately for the Trific a Card
lineman'was too far dowofield and
the'play was called back. -The infraction
was 'small but very 'costly.
The first 21 seconds of the final
period saw the margin of victory
established, On the first scrimmage
play of the quarter, Washington signal-caller
Fete Mullins tossed a pass
to Nate Kirtman who was all alone
at the 40. Kirtman then outran two
Lowell defenders for a 73-yards
touchdown p.ay, A missed conv>r-'
sion attempt left the score knotted
at six apiece.
The tie-breaker c&ne eight seconds
later when Lowell quarterback
Ed Rosebotough threw a pass from
his own 10 which was Intercepted by
Lee Benton at the IS. Bentoii then
scampered home untouched.

Soccer Squad
Biiilding for
Next Season
Lowell's soccermen will have a
hard fight ahead of them as the soccer
season begins next Tuesday.
Sine*? only a few members of the 30man
squad are veteran first stringer?,
Coach Walter Drysdale admits this
w;ll be a year of.building for future
dubs.
Returning lettcrmen are Ferdinand
Aljcea at center forward. Bill
Freeman at half. Jim Marrbn also at
half, Jose Mciidoza playing inside,
Paul Quinby at fullback, and Const
an tin e Shishkin returns to center
half.
Coach Drysdalc is expecting a lot
of help from returning players and
stated they will be real tough competition
for the other teams this year.
Future prospects include.' six low
tens, three of whom came here from
Marina. Junior High School.
The soccer team has had a good
record in the past, having made the
playoffs for many years., and Coach
Drysdalc hopes for. the best this year.
turning veterans, fullback O. T.Simpson
(5-1I.I75), end Al Oliver (6-0,
170), and quarterback Dennis Duzdevich
(S-9, 160). However, Duzderich,
who was moved to defensive
wing, was sidelined after the Balboa
game with an ankie injury.
In then opening against Balboa,
Galileo showed two capable running
backs, Simpson and Ray Robinson
(5-9. 150). These two accounted for
97. of" Galileo's 110 yards gained
rushing. The passing left something
to be desired, however, as theXious
picked up only 29 yards vialne airways.
.'•' ' •""•••••'. —-;•-,•; ~
Another glaring: weakness was the
Lions' defense. They allowed 258
yard? rushing and 158 passing for a
stageering' total of 416 on the wrong
side of the beard. Bal put this yardage
to feood use rolling up 28 points
to Galileo's 0.
Despite the fact that Galileo has
not won a gnme since 1961, Mclncrncy
considers this to be a rebuilding
year. Under ex-coach ^George Poppin,
Lion teams were noted for unrelenting
spirit despite loss after loss.
Mclnerney. who coached the i960
..co-champion St Ignatius squad,
hopes to keep that spirit alive.

"When are fights a racial issue—and

These questions have been

Mr.Quinn, a Lowell graduate,

The acting director said, "There

Proposal to increase
Number of Song Girls
- Article 3, Section 1, of the Lowell
.Constitution, which presently states
that the spring--head song-girl shall
have only four assistants, has been
brought before the Executive Board
for amendment..;/':'
At the suggestion': of Fayc Herring,
current head song-girl for the
fall term, the amendment will call
for the spring song girl to have five
assistants, making a.total of six girls
each semester.
Having an even number of girls
makes the routines: easier to perform
and will also make it possible
; to spell out "Lowell," -which prc-:

_ are six letters. - -
The amendment has already been
passed by the Executive Board and

Secrets of Success
- -Old memories filled K;e hearts of
Allan Gold. Sara Lang^nthal, and
Jcrrald Adams when they recently
took leave of their college activities
_ to visit their former alma mater,
junior vice.president. She finds criticism
of Lowell in the fact that u the
majority of students, rather than being
interested in bcipg friends With
•"••Everyone, tend to stay in their own
cliques." However, "Since Lowell is
a school which kids may go to by
choice, there arc very few "troublemakers
who enjoy venting their hostilities
on the school grounds."
.:; For Better or Worse
• N*aucy, last term's Junior Prom
C|Uccn, voices the desire that the students
will support our team, for better
or for worse. Patti, former high
junior secretary, enjoys being song
girl because it gives her the opportunity
to meet many more students
at Lowell, and especially at other
schools, who she ordinarily would
not have had the clism.o to become
acquainted with.
Lou hkes the spirit and whole atmosphere
o'x Lowell, and though being
song girt is more-work than she
expected, she finds the recognition
enjoyable. Sally finds the friendly
people here one of the school's greatest
assets, and she sum*: up the opinion
voiced by each of the eight other
spirit leaders by saying. J< I enjoy
school much more now because I feel
like a veal part of it; I'm more interested

spirit. It's work, but it's fun."

Committee will select the National

of judgment for the scholarships include
high school grades* test scores,

activities. Financial need is
determined after the committee has
made its decision. The NMSC has
contributed- financial ajd to nearly
7,500 students and their colleges
.since 1955, when it was established.
The program provides for at least
1 million a year in scholarship support.
A second purpose of the JCMSQT
is to encourage students to perform
to the extent of their abilities. These
tests tell the colleges and universities
about the outstanding youths in the
nation.
Hopes Are High

Just an Ordinary Man
With all the mud-slinking that has been going on in this
residential campaign, it is a wonder there are concrete issues
[ft to debate upon,
I'm not talking about such things as nuclear warfare, social
kurity. civil rights, nr foreign aid. Not something as complicated as those
11K?. No, this campaign seems to concern .something much simpler.
"Who's the most norip;i1. avcragL. AU-American candidate?"
Mr. Johnson seems to think he is. Of course, he has more time for
Itch rnotiir-tootin* things like bar-bc-cucs in the backyard of his simple
c\:»< liwne. Aficr all, anyone can have a multi-acre ranch. All it takes
a little elbow grease. And there is the White House where he can show
jw .iveragc ami All-American he is. Yes sirec, nothing like a picnic on the
(vn of the While House. And when reporters get all tuckered out, there's
luays punch 'n* cookies a*waitin*.
* * * * *
But Mr. Goldwtitcr seems to bate upstaged Mr. Johnson, Who "he, but a
e-hhtc kindly next-door-neighbor-typc candidate would have thought up such
idea as an Old-fashioned Whistle Stop Train? None of these newfangled
]jrplanes for him. Where was the airplane 50 years ago?
Ytrs, our Mr, Gold water makes tears of nostalgia well up in your bleary

Docs the cold, cynical reporter image stand true?
"Reporters are detached from their society. The
more c.notion they get out of a sto.y, Ihe be'tcr it is.
The story comes first, the results arc immaterial. If
the world would come to an end, reporters would
probably be overjoyed."
People say reporters are cynical. Some of their
cracfes would seem in poor taste to the average per-
son It is only the natural human reaction to their
work..
"Being an ace newsman is a hard job. Xobody
ur.nts to be an editor, they all want to stay where
tl-ey arc.

How did "Nobody for President" cumc about?
"During the Convention'' (Republican), everybody
was saying how nobody could beat Johnson. So I just
took it from there. . . . I'm thinking of switching' to
Somebody now."
What kind of a chance does Nobody have?
"Nobody will wiiV-«.-y a landslide," Mr. Hoppc pre-
dicted with a laugh.
What is your opinion of Goldwatcr?
What is your opinion of GoUhvattr?
"On all issues he's conservative, I'm ultra-right,"
In* laughed, and continued, "Goldwatcr has an immense
appeal as the average, all-Amcrican boy. He's more
the country-club set."
The press and Goldwatcrr
"Most reporters arc Democrats, and publishers Re-
publicans, so it averages out. A friend of mine is form-
ing a Republicans for Goldwatcr group."
Politics?
"All these groups get me down. I'm for abolishing
them all. The minute three people or more get together,
they lose their individuality. People should learn to
survive on their own.*'
But the U.S. can be considered ovic group.
"One of the sole reasons for the U.S. is to fight
the -U.5.S.U., which is also a group. Now, if there
wasn't any Russia ..."
With a chuckle, and a tvi.vi'c in his eye, Mr. Hoppe
got up. Time had unfortunately run out as I arose
from my comfortable chair.
i; "That was Charles McCabc's scat," said Mr. Hoppc.
But he's in London now."

But what was the'real first im-

As said before, many new students
expected intellectuals with horn-

THE LOWELL
BITS and
PIECES
By RANDY KOERNIG
Off and Rambling
Just for kicks, the sports column this issue will be dedicated
to whatever happens to come into the sports editor's mind, liver
Mop to wonder why the varsity football players dread the films of
the previous game? But then when the films are shown you'll
wonder no longer. (Better still, be there when the coaches sec
them.)
There's Hidden Talent Somewhere
Couid this be the big year for Lowell's soccer te>m? Neither
the coach nor his players will say anything, but that tie with de-
femiing champ Washington in the season's opener wasn't exactly
a fluke.
P.R. Man Needed, Maybe?
Why has vaiVty basketball coach Stan Stewart been around
wondering about who is going to cover the varsity games during
rhe approaching season ? (Maybe you need a public relations man.
Coach.) Speaking of public relations, varsity fullback Tom White
ha* one of the be.*; press agents at Lowell working 1 for him. And
for irce yet.
A Dastardly Deed Committed
General concensus in The Lowell department is that the firing
of San Francisco Giant manager Alvin Dark was a deplorable act
on the part of the Giant front office. It makes you wonder what the
clubowners expect of their managers these days. ^f^. Dark's ball-
club finished in fourth place in the National League, only two
games out of first.
Some interesting points to remember about the season: Jack
SanfonI, the Giants number two starting pitcher was out of action
for the entire second half of the season. Juan Marichal, who was
the big winner for the club the past two years, was sidelined for
five weeks with a back ailment. To make matters even worse,
one of fthe team's outstanding rookies. Jesus Alou sustained an
injury and was unable to play during the last month and a hail
of the season. Yet in spite of all this. Giant President Horace
Stoneham seems to think that his ball club should have copped
all the marbles. Oh, well, charity does begin at home, eh Horace?
Lightweights Are
Anxious As Cage
Season Draws Near
While the football season Is
half over and the Indian football
players' hours and hours of plan-
ning strategy and a combina-
tion of hard work are paying off.
the basketball season is just
getting started.
As a result, two 120 exponent
team members have caught the at-
tention of Coach Stewart. They arc
guards James Wong and Steve Osi-
bin—both exceptionally good play-
ers, notably Steve who might make
the jump to varsity next year, ac-
cording to Mr. Stewart.
The remainder of the 20*s positions
are fil'ed by center John Hil!srr.-n
and forwards Marty Armenia and
Dong Chlson, with alternate Tribes-
men Thomas Jew, Wilson Wong and
Rodney Ong.
Captain Role at Stake
As of this moment, the team cap-
tain lias noi been chosen but vying
for the undecided position arc Doug
and Rodney.
Xot lo be outshone are the 112
exponent cagers. The only junior in
the entire squad is guard Xoe Cano-
xal sharing that position with An-
drew Jin, who is also the team cap-
tain.
They Are Up Front
Filling in the forward positions arc
Sheldon Wong an*l Allan Choy,
while at center is Colon Lau with al-
t**_niate team members Rudy Rod-
ligues, Virstan Wong and Rodger
Gok.
-"The !12*s haven't completely or-
ganised their defensive and offensive
strategy as yet, but stnrc the hoys
know one another personally, they
co-operate a.n.izingly, resulting in
good work ami excellent sportsman-
ship," commented Cor.ch Stewart.
Rifle Team Meets
Bears in Opener
Lowell's varsity rifle team will
meet Mission in a natch October 27.
That's right, rifling »s now con-
sidered an AAA sport.
The rifle team was first recognized
as a member of 'he Academic Ath-
letic Association last year. Since
rifling is a Triple A sport, positions
on the team are filled by any male
student with interest and talent in
shooting, and are not limited to
ROTC members. Position* are still
open since the tinal squad has not
been selected yet. Anyone with Na-
tional Rifle Association experience is
highly sought after.
Under the watchful eye of Coach
*Sgt. Jack Smalley the team has been
practicing every morning at 7:30.
Sgt. Smalley, who was an instructor
at Galileo last year, stated that none
of the teams m the league have much
experience this year.
Four of Lowell's top shooters are
Richard Gunther, Joe Adler, Craig
Yamamoto and a non-ROTC mem-
ber, Robert Ford.

A LOOK AT THE PAST
Time Was When Girls Drilled
"Hup, two, three, four; hup, two,

—that's all for today."
"Goo'i shot! AH right, ladies, cease

Good grief—how's that ;or a morn-

This thought is somewhat astound-
ing, isn't it? Hut it is not impossible,
although a little improbable.
A girts' drill team, conducted by the
boys ROTC, used to travel every morn-
ing through the glorious Panhandle in
Golden Gate Park to the even more
glorious sounds of demuring female
voices. In their alluring garb they have
been known to march up and down
"The Strip" m the early, foggy hours
of the morning.

Tribe Meets S.I. Today
By DAVE MILANESI
Saint Ignatius, coming on^ strong
after an opening loss to Lincoln,
meets Lowell *1 is afternoon at 3:30
set Kczar,
On the baMa \.i comparative scores,
Lowell would rule a slight favorite.
Comparative scores, however, can
be misleading, Sacred Heart was
obviously dov n when they played
Lowell last \vcck after losing to S.I.
the previous U-cck. S.I. ran up 232
yards as opposed to S.H.'s 287. Low-
ell, on the other hand, ran up 388
yards as comj ared to S.H/s 49.
Up until the Sacred Heart game the
Cards had shown an explosive offense
but very little on defense. This is in
marked contr*ist to previous Lowell
teams of the Ofl's who have been known
for their ability to stop the other team.
The 1U61 club was unscored upon for
the ftrst fire games and allowed only
19 points in a nine-game season.
Hy contrast, the Saint Ignatius
teams of the. past few years have
shown both powerful offenses and
defenses. Despite the loss of quarter-
back "Ray Ciieagno, S.I. has shown
a fairly balanced attack. Junior quar-
terback Jim Nevm hasn't thrown as
much as Calcagno did in the past iwo
years, but backs John Buada and
Dave McFarlanc have taken up the
slack by spearheading a powerful
running' game.
Looking back at the scores of the
past eight years, it appears that SA.
has bad the best of the going, led by
Git Dowd who later went on'!o star
for Stanford University, and the Cats
beat the inexperienced 1956 Cards, 19-
7. The Saint Ignatius line spearheaded
J ground game which Lowell could not
cope with. The game was close, how-
ever, until the final minutes when S.I.
scored their final touchdown after
ing 13-7.
The 1957 game was played early,
in what turned out to be a dismal
season for the Tribe. The £""**"-was
in doubt up until the final i . min-
utes when S.I. held an I8-H lead.
Lowell, anxious to score in the short
time remaining; wen: to the air with
an S.I. interception the result.
The 1958 Wildcat team eventually
became co-champions when they de-
feated Poly on Thanksgiving Day.
They had no trouble brushing the
Indians.
October 8, 1959 . . . a day to be
remembered for a long time by any-
body who attended the S.I.-Lowell
game played that afternoon. Lowell had
lost star Q.B. George Warner in the
first gam* of the year. An inexperienced
junior by the name of foe Alvarez filled
in for Warner and later went on to
'Alt-City in I960. A controversial touch-
down at the end of the first half cost
Lowell the game and the champion-
ship, S.l, wtnt on to win the game.
The Cats went on to an undefeated
round robin season, but were defeated
by Poly m the playoffs. The Parrots
then beat Lowell on Thanksgiving, 26
to 19, for the co-championsbip.
The 1960 S.I. squad won the round
robin championship only to lose to
Washington on Thanksgiving Day.
Loweli, on the other hand, won only
two games all year, finishing in
seventh place. The Tribe lost to co-
_champion Washington by one point,
"but was defeated by S.I., 20-6.
The 1961 game is one *.hai old
grads will be talking about for years.
Lowell had the best of the sUttistics,
but S.I. had the most points, 12 to
the Cards* 6. The Indians got re-
venge in the playoffs, however, grab-
bing" a" 7-0 decision.
SJ, was out for revenge in 1962
feeling that they should have beaten
Lowell the previous Thanksgiving.The
two teams employed strikingly different
offense*. Lowell was ted by the pass-
ing of Bob Lee and S.L by the run-
ning of Tom Kennedy. Lcu'cli appeared
to have the game wrapped up in the
third quarter when Ray Calcagno took
to the air and hit Charlie Parks with
a pass that set up the winning T.D.
Lowell, trailing 19-13, fighting hard
late in the fourth quarter, fumbled and
SJ. recovered and came out the victors.
The teams met the following week
on Thanksgiving in a stubborn de-
fensive battle \\i:h S.I. coming out
on top 7-6.

last term. Hu-hopc is to propagate
the sport of soccer.
Mr. Feibusch, an avid promoter of
soccer* icels that this sport has not
been given enough importance in the
United State>. He feels that baseball,
football and basketball are given too
much priority over this, the world's
most popular sport.
Soccer is an Olympic sport, but
one at which the United States has
nevi-p done well. Mr. Fcibusct. be-
lieves that it should be introduced to
children while they are young .so that
it can gain wider recognition in this
country.
Toward this end, he founded the
Soccer Society last spring. The pur-
poses of this group arc five fold.
First, the purpose is to bring the at-
tention of the student body to the
sport. Second, it will familiarize stu-
dents with the rules of the game. As
a service to the school, the Society
will organize and referee intramural
soccer. The group will help Little
Mrr. Feibusch emphasizes the fact
thai; the Soccer Society is not con-
nected with the varstiy soccer team,
and/ membership is not limited to
boVs. He is in vis ing any Lowell girl
or boy or teacher to join.
/.In bis 30 years with the sport,
Mr. Feibusch lias done nearly every-
thing imaginable with and for soccer.
Ho has managed.coached and played
nn teams, an/1 done much in connec-
tion with local and naiion.il soccer
associations.
Due to a problem in scheduling
meetings, the Soccer Society has a
very small membership at the pres-
ent time. Since many of the members
of The Society arc on the soccer team
and practice after school, meetings
!>ad to be held during the last ten
minutes of fourth period. However,
when the soccer season ends No-
vember 18 regular meetings will be
scheduled after scjiopl. At that tim:.%
nicmlu-r.s will organize intramural
and girls' soccer. Interested persons
are urged to see Mr. Keibusch in

The Month That Was
Forty Years Hence Mr. Livingstone Quotes Nine Ideas
Californians Will On 'How to Prepare for College'
Friday, Novem^er^^ B F,;d?y^ovembcr 6, 1964
— By Cena Silvers Turn to the Sea
Many people thought it wcjld never happen—but it did. We
have survived October! But is this saying much? What was so
different about this past month?
It would be quiu* alarming if someone did ask, "What was so
special about October, 1961?'* Anyone -with even the slightest
amount of awareness of the surrounding world knows that this
past month was unique. Was it just because it was the month
before national elections ? This could possibly be the answer—and
probably is. What would you do if someone asked you to pin-
point the explosive events of October?—What would you say?
In order to provide an answer let's take a brief retrospective look
at that "month of months'*—October 1964.
* * * *
History was in the making throughout October, especially on
that brisk October morning when half of Lowell's population ig-
nored their English lectures to listen to the World Series. They
had a sound argument—just a couple of days before they had
heard abcut the flight of the three Russian Cosmonauts, and they
were just listening for more information (quite improbable as it
may sound).
But getting back to this particular day, which set the "wheels
of turmoil" into action, the Lowellite's day was once more en-
lightened. A special announcement interrupted the series, inform-
ing, "Khrushchev has retired" (or did tltey say, "Has been told
to retire?' 1 Oh well, that's just a case of semantics).
As the story goes (depending upon "which version you have
heardj, the Russians got a little tired, ot hearing Nikita and his
"hairbrain" ideas, which mainly centered around his failure to
solve the Soviet Union's economic problems and the split with
rRed China. Many people believe that the main issue of his "retire-
ment'' was-'Xikita's continuous shoutings of 'We will bury you!"
with nothing backing it up (luckily). So Iiis "colleagues" decided
to show him the procedure of political and social obliteration.
But there was a catch to it—he was the subject.
After consideration and timing, the Russians decided to re-
place Khrushchev I do mean careful consideration and timing—
how else would they have .succeeded in having their "national re-
call elections" in the midst of our Presidential Campaign. (Come
to think of it—it did.add a spark of excitement to our campaign—
it brought out one of those old issues—Foreign Policy).
Khrushchev found himself out in the cold (as did many others).
Oh, well, he has to gecSised to Siberia sometime—doesn't be?
* "••;•,# * a*
October was destined to have more than that little occurrence.
China also had her timing -jcist* right, with" the explosion of her
first atomic bomb.
But that bomb was nothing in comparison to the one "dropped
on Washington, D. C."—the Jenkins case—which set rnouth
watering "I told you so" people into action.
Next to grab the spotlight .was Britain and its historic elec-
tion. With everything else happening, the British election was
slightly forgotten. But they made their presence known—for the
first time since their victory after WWII, the Labor Party took
over the reins of British Government.
A startling reminder of the events of almost a year ag:> struck
the American people next—the death of one of the three sur-
viving ex-Presidents, Herbert Hoover. This made many people
stop and think of that fateful day of November 22, 1963, a day
many wish could be blotted out.
* # * * ..
We still had not yet escaped October. Worldwide and local
events, like the proposal to close Fort Ord, caused much concern
and many topics for debate around Lowell; But the reservation
was having a month of its own to remember. A prime example of
this was those energetic high juniors, who Just couldn't keep
still. One^of their most notable antics was their high flying pen-
nant (attached to the antenna above the cast'wing of the second
floor). They are not seniors yet—but they are sure acting like it!
Apparently the seniors decided to have a counter attack—with
that sign on the auditorium. Too bad. it only lasted one period.
You must admit that the juniors picked the better place—no one
can reach it—just think, it may stay up forever!
Yes, October was a month to remember—bow can we forget it? It
even bad a fitting ending—report cards* Now we look toward the
future. What will Nor fiber bring? Well it has already started—with
the national elections. And now we come to - .. ?

It is interesting nowadays with
technological advances being made
in all the major fields of science to
tiiojccl one's thoughts into the future
and to contemplate what Hie will be
like 50 or 100 years from now.
California's Roger Revelle, one of
the world's most noted occanogra-
pbers, has looked ahead to the year
2,000 A.D. and has concerned htm*
self with the future, especially Cali-
fornia's future. .. •
California's future, as Dr. Revclle
sees it, will be one depending- greatly
on the sea and its underwater re-
sources. The ocean's shore, the
ocean's floor, and the ocean itself
will provide Californians in 2,000
A.D. with means for recreation, an
increased water and food supply,
minerals for industry, and means fjr
increased ocean transportation and
trade, iJ v- . \
Recreational Facilities
To accommodate California's 50
million playing citizens in 2,000 A.D.,
new beaches, bays, islands, and pen-
insulas will be created. These new
recreational facilities will allow for
increased sailing, surfing, swimmiug,
sport fishing, etc
Food Is Problem
To feed California's teeming popu-
lation of 50 million people in 2,000
A.D., it wilt be necessary to turn to
the sea for food. Dr. Revelle pre-
dicts that to solve the future food
problem the plankton sea pastures
upon which the world's food fish
(tuna, salmon and halibut) graze and
fatten will be de\ ^oped through fer-
tilization.
v
Fresh Water from Sea
In 2,000 A.D. the problem of sup-
plying such a metropolis as Los An-
geles with water will be most acute.
The sea with the help of nuclear en-
ergy will fee of great aid in this prob-
lem of providing a good water supply
for California. Nuclear powered ?
water desalination plants will break r Cf
down the salt compound in the sea^o
water and the resulting fresh water
will be able to amply supply Call-!'

Mr. James Livingstone, head coun-
selor, has suggested that students
seeking a college education investi-
gate Abraham H. Lass' book, How
To Prepare For College. He feels
that much of the advice Mr. Lass
offers in his book is particularly ap-
plicable to Lowell students. For ex-
ample, Mr. Lass makes the following
points:
1. Try seriously to decide what
your life's work is going to be. You
will probably change your mind
many times in the years ahead. How-
ever, the decision you make now will
give ruueh-nneded direction and pur-
pose to your life—everyone needs a
"star" to steer by—and may well
save you from making expensive,
time-consuming false starts.
2. Are you eager to learn and to
study? Or do you have to force your-
self? Do you need considerable par-
ental persuasion and prodding be-
fore you can bring yourself to tackle
your school work?
If you take to learning like the
proverbial duck to water, you're a
"natural." You have what the ex-
perts call motivation, the most im-
portant ingredient for success in
school and college. If you aren't mo-
tivated now, you may be later. But
unless you have the proper motiva-
tion, you are sure to find the going
lough, uninteresting, and unprofit-
able.
3. Why go to college? Of course,
you aren't expected to have all the
answers. But out of your reading,
thinking, and, talking about college,
you should be getting a somewhat
clearer notion about your own rea-
sons for wanting to go to college,
ulierc you plan to gof and what you

surface. (Hydrofoils are not just a
pipe dieam of Dr. Revelle. One ma-
jor automobile company presently is
producing: similar machines 1 for
swamp and land use).
To allow increased ocean trade,
California's major ports will be re-
designed and employed mostly by
"the machines of automation." By
increased automation, cargo ships
will be able to unload and reload
their goods in «* few hours.
The ocean has many possibilities
for the future. It is man's task to
explore ocean and its underwater
depths, and seek out these possibi-
lities and utilize them as best he
can. In the words of the French
oceanographcr. diver, uptSei-vvatcrar-
cheologist, and inventor, Jaques-
Yvcs Cousteau, "the exploration of
the sea'is the job of men."
All-Digit Grading in
Store for Future
Students at Lowell
Dial: 97, 64, 82, 79, 81, 80,
90, 76, 93—and what do you
get? BINGO?? No, the an-
swer is your grade: 82.5.
Dial? Dial what? A phone?
No, a "Teacher's Pet," which
averages both point and per-
centage grades and is now
available to teachers. It is now
in the library on trial, and if
Lowell's teachers think it is
worthwhile, the school may
purchase one of its own.
This machine only averages,
but one can never tell what the
next stfp is. This could be the
first step toward "robot teach-
ers/' Humans are humans, but
machines are supposedly in-
faitiblc.Teachers can play fa-
vorites, and the "Teacher's
Pet" cannot.
Take your choice: man
machine?
During the. summer a .Lowell
teacher who says his "only ambition
is to get rich," went panning for
gold at Klamath. "But all I got were
two little specks."
Even had Mr. Jose Rclnosa un-
covered a gold mine, it is doubtful
he would have quit teaching biology
and advanced biology at Lowell. He
. got the bug to teach, he says, while
studying bacteriology.
Teaching Is Better
Fanning for gold is a matter of
luck and chance, but he chose to
teach science, ."'because it serjps to
be the only field where you c»n get
definite answers."
Mr. Reinosa attended high school
in his native Puerto Rico, then con-
tinued his studies at the University
of California at Berkeley, and San
Francisco State College, where he
received his credential, -V
A Ham By Any Otaer Name
Hobbies??? Yes, Mr. Reinosa is a
devoted radio ham. He has contacted
22 states, Mexico and Canada. "I
am waiting to contact Europe and
Australia/* He also likes to "fool
around with antennas." Fishing is
another one of his pastimes, but he
has given up surfing.
When asked whether or not he-
likes tne Beatles he replied, "They
are boat-less-** - Then he grinned.
"But, they look likt a clean bunch
of kids."
LBJin Arizona?
Mr. Rcinosa's eyes lit up when he
was questioned about the up-coming
election. "Johnson should win by a
landslide. He will probably win in
Arizona, too."
He chuckicd when he spoke about
his 20-month old son who likes \t
pull at girls' skit'ts.
He Is Liked
It U evident from the way he is
greeted by Lowell students aiid the
way he greets many of them by their
first 'names, that he is interested in
the students and popular with them.
In his white lab coat he looks like
a bit player on a T.V., science or
medical program. He is not the Ben
Casey -type though, because with his
lab coat he wears a warm and friend-
ly smile.
As Told to Bonnit Machennan
want to do after you get out of col-
lege.
4. Start looking through some
books about college, just to get fa*
miliar with some of the things that
should be uppermost in your mind
as you prepare for college. Consult
the catalogues of some colleges you
think you may be interested in at-
tending. You don't have to make up
your mind about any specific one
now. But you will find it very help-
ful to get some general notion about
admission requirements, courses, tui-
tion, living conditions, and scholar*
ships. .
5. Study for the right reasons. Arc
you studying just for marks? Or for
what you can get out of your studies
—enjoyment, understanding, etc.?
Arc you doing only what you are as-
signed to do, or are you doing some
study and research on your own just
for the joy and excitemciii of this
kind of intellectual adventure and
exploration?
6. Learn how to study. Do you
have some kind of systematic, order-
ly study schedule? Do you know
how to handle the special problems
•n each of your subjects? If you don't
learn to budget your study time new
you'll'be in real trouble when you'
get to college.
1. Do your homework. A safe for-
mula is from one-half to three-quart-
ers of an'-hour for each subject you
are taking. If you are doing less, yOu
are probably getting less than you
should out of your studies, and fool.
ing no one but yourself.
8. Take an active part in the life
of your school. Get into some extra,
currtcular activities—but/ not too
many and not at the expense of your
school worlc
9. Ask questions. If you have any
questions or problems, seek advice
from your counselors, teachers, and
parents. They won't make decisions
for you (that is your responsibility).
But they may provide you with facts
which will help you make your own
decisions.
Those students interested in addi-
tional information about this book

&grccrl. ISut people from both sides ni the fence agreed that he
had .some worthwhile things to say. One of them was his state-
ment on sports; 'I'm one of those people *.vho never made the
team, but still love the game."
This is the rptrit which resides in that great and amazing creature,
the American Sports Fan. The Fan is boisterous, partisan and, all too
often, cruel and narrow-minded. The Fan loves a winner and will do
anything and everything for a winner. But the tune is quite a bit dif-
ferent where a loser is concerned.
Just for the record, take the cases of Olympic contestants, John
Thomas and Hay Xorton. Before the start of the 1960 Olympics
at Rome both were considered to be solid bets for gold medals in
their respective events. Thomau hi the high jump, was supposed
to have the number one spot cinched. JJowever, in the high jump
finals at Rome, the tall, spare youth from Boston University was
third behind the Soviet Union's Valery Brume] and another Rus-
sian. Robert Shavfokadzc, who won the event.
When John Thomas returned to the L'.S., instead of receiv-
ing praise for the bronze medal he wun in the Games, he was
scoffed at and accused of "choking/' The then-19-year-old ath-
lete was stunned by such treatment. Four ysars later he said of
the 1960 Olympics, "I wa? beater. 1 jumped aa high as I could
go, and that was it. On that particular day ihere were two men
in the same stadium who could jump higher/' The explanation
is simple enough, but it does not satisfy Tiie Fan. The Fan still
scoffs and accuses.
Sprinter Ray Norton suffered as much, if not more than Thomas.
Norton was the best the U.S. had to offer in the 200 meter dash and yet
he was a disappointing sixth in the event. N& one was Irfrjre dis-
appointed than Notion himself. When word got out that Norton
was involved romantically with a member of the US. womens' track
team (sprinter Wiltna Rudolph) there were made such statements as,
"If he had paid more attention to the Games and less attention to
that dame, he probably would have done better." Cruel? Yest but
that's The Fan.
The story's the same in all sports Whenever an athlete doesn't
live up to all the press releases written about him, criticisms are
shot at him from all angles. The big trouble with The Fan is that
he doesn't realize that athletes are human and have human feel-
ings. Think about it the next time you start to pan some sports
figure, on any level.

Cardinal fullback Tom White carries in Lowell's 30-13 victory over S.I.
as Jack Tacchino (43) and Ed Roseborough (11) look on.
"Lowell's Indians finally latched onto something which has
eluded them for three years. They whipped the Wildcats of St
Ignatisv 30-13.
The first half couldn't: have been much more even than it was.
At the end of the initial two periods Lowell *ras ahead I4-13r and
offensively there was only one yard between the two teams. Low-
ell struck first with Steve Howder hauling in an Ed Roseborough
aerial to complete a 35-yard scoring play.

the coveted 1964 Academic Ath-

P!acihg;first in the competition
was Don" Boyle, who finished with
a time of 10:35. 24 seconds faster
than his nearest opponent on the
Buccaneer team. Although Rocca-.

followed closely by Matt Cotabish

Going on further he commented
that, "By the end of the season, our
boys should be in top condition to
capture first place in the All-City
meet on November 18. We haven't
had a stronger team in a long time.
This may be the team to do it."
Although Boyle and Cotabish are
the only high seniors on the team,
both are doing fine jobs, especially
Don who in Coach Barney's opinion
is the man to sweep the entire event
at the All-City meet."His form looks
good, he's fast and has tremendous
stamina," was Mr. Wolf's impression
of Don.

The sophs won two of their first
three contests while the J.V/s were
undefeated in their first four games.
Only Galileo and Mission scored
against Coach Andy Korba's strong

The defensive team Includes Elmer
Lewis, Jolin Wai tern, Warren:Han-

defensive back. Coach Moore praised
ihe team's well rounded offense and
hope* it will bring victory in the
next five games.
The junior varsity, in defeating
St. Ignatius, 14-0, on October 15,
shoivcd several outstanding plays.
Quarterback John Gianaras seemed
to have his "quarterback sneak" per-
fected for gains of six or seven yards
on several occasions. In a spectacu-
lar play Bob Mirolo, playing tackle,
picked up an S.I. fumble and without
hesitation ran 45 yards for a touch-
down, which unfortunately -was
called back on a clipping penalty.
Defensive standouts in the game
were Vince Bray and Frr.il Bowc.

very quick touchdowns. First, fullback
Da.e McFarhnd went 17 yards to pay-
dirt. Only minutes later, halfback John
Buada went through the Cardinal de-
fense and streaked 62 yards to ghe the
tgitatians a lead of 13-7. The Red and
VPbif*. got on the board fust before
the intermission with Jack Taccbino
going over from the 10 yard tine.
The "Cats would ha\*e done well
to have left at halftimc as it was the
Lowell ball club ali the way in ;he
last two quarters. S.I. was able to
get only 33 yards and two first
clowns in the second halt as tackles
Kevin O'Xeill and Tony Taitclc led
Lowell's hard-charging defensive line
and hold the 'Cats scoreless.
The first time Lowell got its hands
on the ball after the intermission it
scored. Bill Fcrrera, a reserve half-
back put in to replace Steve How-
dcr who was injured in the first half,
lugged tlie pigskin 59 yards for a
touchdown. Roseborough locked the
game up in the third quarter as he
booted a 2S;-x?rd field goal.

Has the thought o£.attending
Lowell in approximately 1898
ever entered your mind?
Probably the first thoughts
would include a picture of
long skirts for the girls and
several horse-drawn carriages
surrounding a small, rather din-
gy looking edifice which was.
then Lowell.
At that time the Spauish-Ameri-
can War had started and President
McKinlcy called for a volunteer
army to serve for a two-year period
or the duratioa of the war. Hence,
the First California Regiment was
assembled at the Presidio and must-
ered into service. Soon the male
population at Lowell became quite
sparse,, as many of the boys were re-
cruited.
Mr. Kirke L, Simpson, who at-
tended Lowell at that time states*
"By faking my age a year or two, T
managed to go along and wound up
as the bugler of Company I)." Mr.
Simpson, along with Mr. Folia L.
Drakc, Mr. Ernest W. Hewston
and Mr. Robert W.Dodd. are the
four surviving Lowell students who
are veterans "of the Spanish-Ameri-
can War.
Principal J, A. Perino greets Span-
ish-American War Veteran Robert
W. Dodd.
Memories Are Many
Mr. Simpson, who left Lowell to
join the army and spent the rest of
. hisP&*eer working for the Associated
Press vn Washington, remembers
. several o. c the teachers at Lowell. He

Morton.
Veteran Pays Visit
Recently another Spanish-Ameri-
can War veteran, Mr. Robert W.
Dodd visited Lowell. Many will re-
member his appearance at a recent
rally, where he was introduced as
having played football for LoweU in
1898. He is now secretary-treasurer
of the First California Regiment As-
sociation which united the surviving
veterans through correspondence and
reunions.
The First California Regiment was
the first volunteer regiment must-
ered into service for the war. The
total regiment, which numbered 1338
soldiers, received a Medal of Honor
for their heroic service rendered to
their country.
Student Council.
Executive Board
Report Progress
During the past few. months the
combined efforts of the StccFeat
Council and the Executive Bpard
have been centered around securing:
new ideas to improve LoweU and to
reflect the will of the student body.^
Pep rall : e5 before school came as
a result of action takerx.by the Stu-
dent Council. The installation of spe-
cial doorstops to keep: doors open
during passing times vas a Council
suggestion. Also, a vote was passed
to change the cover design of the
Lowell pee-chees and of the Lowell
book covers. ., v^ '
Student Complaints Aired .
The Student Council inquired
about complaints of the students*
such as the removal of the jukebox
from the cafeteria. Apparently, the
faculty didn't approve of the dancing'
and the general restlessness it cre-
ated.
Future plans include exchange
dances with other high schools as .
well as other school activities; hav-
ing a bulletin board outside the
Student Association office to display
posters from all classes and buying
shrubs for the gardeners to plant
Seventh Period Raltfes?
It was also suggested that rallies
should be movtd to 7th period in-
stead of 6th period as the enthu-
siasm is lost returning to class. In-
quiries are being made for an open
campus during lunch.
The Executive Board has been
busy. Motions for a literary maga-
zine and a Psychology Club have
been passed as well a." the motion to •
amend the Constitution allowing six
song girls for the spring term in-
stead of the traditional five.
Also the idea for free bus trans-
portation to compensate for the
raise m price of game tickets has
been suggested. Sponsoring various
class projects will take up much of
its time in the near future*

From the Editor's Desk —
What an Awful Waste
—-By Cena Silvers
"I don't think there is any consolation. What was lost cannot be
replaced:*
With the days approaching the first anniversary of her husband's
Heath, Jacqueline Kennedy wrote the above statement in
an article.
John Fitx-jrerald Kennedy has been dead a year. We c?.n"t do
anything about it—but have we learned from it?
Fora while America and the whole world was dumbfounded.
The crises were swept under the rug. Many said that John Kennedy's
'leath would prove tc be beneficial to the cause of the
fro- world.
His it?
Yes, if you count the mono/ ''businessmen** collected by his
death. Hut. this is not counted. This, too. is swept under the rug.
Now is the time to ask if his death served a cause?
Bid it end the conflict in Viet Nam?—No. :
Did it end our internal strife?—No.
What did it end?—NOTHING!
Many said that John Kennedy's death would make Americans
more conscientious, rias it?
We were told to '"continue." We did just thai. We continued
in the same old path.
But this is explainable. Man's character doesn't change that
easily. It will take more than the realization of one death to
change man.
Man is still greedy. Man is still concerned with nroperty rights
—not human rights.
Man is still what he has been, and will continue to be—an
unchangeable man.
Authorities had a field day trying, to place the blame of his
death on some one or some one organization. What we must
realize is that each of us is to blame.
Why?—We let it happen.
How? That is a question we all must solve for ourselves. Think
about it. How did we let this happen? No, it wasn't spontaneous
combustion. We supplied the wood. We lighted'tlie fuse. And uow
we must take the blame.
Have we failed somewhere? We must have, otherwise, why
would a person think that the only way to express his political
beliefs was through bullets? What ever happened to our ballots?
John Kennedy's light will shine forever. It will remind us of
things for which he had lived and the things for which many
believed he died. It will also remind us of our neglect and of our
weaknesses.
Memories \vl\\ also come to us whenever we see the excerpt
from Robert Frost's poem, "Stopping" by the Woods on a Snowy
Evening/', jhat, John ^-Kennedy used to close many of his campaign
speeches. We will think of how he was forced to "steep'*
before these many miles were up.
r 'But I have promises to keep, _
And miles to go before!sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep." - -= :

Lost & Found Rummage
Sale Slated in Future
By COUPTNEY COMPTON
Journalism I
FOR A CLASS project, how
about a rummage s&Ie of all the articles
which have been shoved for
the past eight years into the cubicle
Lowell calls its Lost and Found?
Who would miss the opportunity
to pick up an almost new book^ag.
a once popular novel in Chinese, or
an umbrella with only three ribs
broken at bargain prices? One might
find that his long-lost genuine surf*
£r*s "tennies" can be bought again for
only len cents.
OF COURSE, if one has time to
waste before school, he might spend
it shoveling through the Lost and
Found to see if there «•'•*« any treasures
he could use. He may discover
those tennics before the sale and
save himself a dime, or find the chem
lab textbook he had to replace with
his own hard-earned cash.
It isn't difficult to realize how a
gym suit might get into the Lost and

Physical Education:
Compulsory or Optional?
By RANDY KOERNIG
It has been brought to my attention recently that some of the members
of our State I egisiature wish to change the current set-up in our public
secondary schools by making physical education in the public schools
optional rather than mandatory. The reasoning behind this is that PE
takes up valuable time that coild be put to good use in a classroom. Another
reason is that PE takes a bo'/'s mind oft his studies,

coach, has led me to believe that both of these premises are inv.ilid. First
of all, the coach points out that right now many boys at Lowell are taking
four solids, a study halt, and PE and are having trouble keeping a respect-
able grade average. If these boys had the option as to whether or not they
should take PE, many of them would pass it up and saddle themselves with
still another solid.
As for PE taking a boy's mind off his studies, this the coach points our,
is nonsense. Pic cites the example of all the boys currently taking seventh
period PE, that is, the boys out for after-school sports. Of the 324 boys
in seventh period 107 of them arc on the honor roll. This works out to 33
per cent. Only 28 per cent of the entire Lowell student body is on the honor
roll. This puts the athletes five per cent ahead of the rest of the school.
When this composite 33 per cent is narrowed down to individual teams
the statistics arc pleasantly surprising*. A look at each of the seven teams
will better ilUutiatc the point The tennis team has 43 per cent of its mem-
bers on the honor roll. The golf team and all of the basketball teams arc
second with 39 per cent. Next is varsity football with 29 per cent, then soph
fcotball with 27 per cent, then JV football vruh, 21 per cent, and finally
soccer with 18 per cent. . '•,-,'
The coach is very quick to point out that most of the boys who make
up these percentages are regulars on the various teams. This, the coach
says, is true, due to the fact that in most cases, bovs who excel in sports
will also excsl in studies, and vice-versa.
Getting back to whether PE should be compulsory or not, the coach
feels that physical exercise is an important part of growing up and states
\ that thfc arc three important aspects of PE. For one thing, it helps to
; develop muscle tone; secondly, it should be enjoyable; and, finally, it gives
'-A physical foundation upon which one can grow to maturity.
Those legislators who wish to make PE optional must be ignorant of
the aforementioned facts, otherwise they might be pushing for something
more worthwhile. Like better PE facilities, maybe?

Poly Trips Cards Cardinals Bow to Links
In Playoff Thriller, 26-21
Mustangs Crush Tribe, 40-0
In what was by far Jieir worst outing of the 1964 campaign,
Lowell's Indians had their six-game win streak'snapped*as they
were handed a crushing defeat at the hands of the Lincoln Mus-
tangs. The score was 40-0. It was the Tribe's worst defeat in a
great many years. The game was no closer than the score indi-
cated. It was a Lincoln balJgame from s&art to finish.

League 1st Place
Lowell's junior varsity foot-
ball team cinched at least a tie
for the AAA championship with
a 6-0 victory over-Washington.
The J.V.'s need only beat Wil-
son ;in this afternoon's game at
Lowell for undisputed first
place. ;;
-Middle guard Paul Haskell blocked
apuntiis the first half and fell on the
• ball in the Washington end zone for
the only score of; the game. The
>' The t«t4UiisJjattlcd oh'even terms the
remainder r of the game as Lowell
-won their 6th game against one loss.
: It was the Eagles' second loss of
the season.
The Lincoln game was played fol-
. lowing a disheartening loss to Bal-
boa which had knocked the Tribe
out of the undefeated ranks. Despite
this, Coach Andy Korba had no trou-
ble getting: his charges fired up. The
: Tribe jumped': to a 34-0 half time
lead, and with reserves playing the
second half, defeated the Links, 41-0.
Nice Weather for Ducks
The Balboa game was played in
the wind and rain at Balboa. The
Bucs took advantage of a poor pass
from center to block a kick deep in
Indian territory. They fell on the
~ball in the endzone for the only score
; of the game and a 6-0 win.
Lowell's sophs also have an im-
pressive seasonal record, 4-2. The
combined records of the sophs and
J.V.'s indicate that Lowell should
field strong teams in the next few
years.
Coach IIocrc described the 27-0
win over Bal as "by far the best
game of the year." He singled half-
back Paul Famer as the outstand-
ing individual of the game.
_ were ex-
tremely impressive. The Links out-
gained the Cards 214-36 on the
ground and 327-32 in the air, for a
staggering total of S41-6S total yards
gained. Wayne McConico, the light-
ning-fast Lincoln halfback, once
again proved to be the man of the
hour as he ran for one touchdown,
caught passes for two others, 'and'
rushed for 82 yards in ciuy four car- f
Vies. Mustang quarterback Mike!;•
Holmgren had a great afternoon, j;
completing 10 of : 19 passes for 251 j !
yards. : j;
Lincoln first drew blood after only \;
50 seconds of the game bad gone by '[\
with McConko taking a bandofj and
. streaking 39 yards to paydirU In the .
second quarter the Links really went I
•wild as they scored 20 points, Mc-
Conico was on the receiving end of a
39-yatd pass play from Holmgren while
shortly afterward Holmgren himself
carried the pigskin over from the two*
The final play of the first half was
a real gem. Holmgren unloaded a
50-yard bomb into the end-zone.
Waiting for the ball was Lincoln half
Tony Blass. Also waiting- were Low-
ell defensive halves Mike Carter and
Skip Niebauer. Nicbauer, making a
last-ditch effort to bat the ball down,
dived and got a hand on it. Blass,
making a last-ditch effort made a
beautiful fingertip catch to give the
Mustangs a 27-0 half time lead.
Late in the third period the Links
were able to spring McConico once
again. This time on a short pass
which Wayne hauled in at his own
30 and then completely out-running V
everyone to round out a 70-yard pass I
play. The Mustangs put the icing on i
the cake in the fourth quarter when >
reserve quarterback John Jamison .
hit Blass on a cross-field pass and
then Blass scampered 62 yards to •
a TD. . i
Halfback Bill Ferrera was theTribe's
leading ground-gainer as he picked up
45 yards in nine carries,

Fred Coleman carries the ball against Poly. Unfortunately, Fred's efforts
were in vain as the Parrots wen in the closing minutes of the game, 12-7.
Lowell came within five min-
utes of tying for first place in
the AAA round-robin standings,
only to have defeat from the
jaws of victory by coining out
on the receiving end of an up*
set with Poly, 12-7. A win over
the Parrots would have left the
Cards tied with Washington
and Lincoln, the latter upset by
Sacred Heart.
At the start of the game it looked
as though the Tribe would dominn'e
the entire contest. Tackle Kevin O'-
Neill started things off when he re-
covered a Parrot fumble at the Poly
31.
From there Bill Ferrera and Tom
White moved the bail down to the
four where White capped the drive
by going over for the score. Ed Rose-
borough then kicked the extra point
that almost stood up as the margin
of difference. -;'
Not to be outdone, the Parrots re-
covered a Lowell fumble at the Tribe
14, On three tries, Fred Claussen moved
the ball to the four and then it was
Poly signal-caller Ron Johnson who
bootlegged up the middle for six points.
After the PAT attempt was blocked
the score was left at 7- Lowellf and
it stayed that way until the final min~
$*tes of the fourth quarter, ,. .«.
With a little more than five min-
utes remaining in the game, Johnson
threw a scrcctj pass to halfback Steve
Nawahinc at th* Po!y 44. Nawahine
then dashed 39 yards to the Cardi-
nal 17. From there Johnson carried
for six yards, Nawahine carried for
five before Johnson took it over him-
elf from six yards out.
Lowell tried hard to get^rn the
board before the final gun but two
Poly interceptions, one with less
than u minute to go, put the lid on
for the Parrots.
Lowell statistics were very disheart-
ening as the Cards netted only 40 yards
rushing, and J2 yards via the airways.
One bright spot was halfback Bill Fer-
rera, who picked up 73 yards rushing
to lead the Tribe in that department
for the fifth game in a row.
Riflemen Whip Bears
But Lose to Pirates
In the first meet of the year,
Lowell's. rifle team has started
its climb to the top of the
AAA Rifle Team category by
scoring a victory over Mission.
Commenting about the match,
Coach Sgt. Jack Smalley considered
this a vital one, since it indicated that
Lowell's sharpshooters had the skill
to become the AAA champs tor this
year. Sgt Smalley went on to say
that his team showed tremendous en-
durance by outlasting the gunners on
the Bears' squad.'
Shooting for Lowell at the meet
were varsity members Richard Gun-
thcr, Mike Huff, Kent Alexander,
Bruce Edward, Craig Yamamoto,
Vladimir Barcntscff, and Joel Adler,
captain of the team.
Following thit Mission meet, Low-
ell met the Buccaneers who proved
to be a stronger team than the In-
dians. Although this loss dropped
the Redmen to second place.
Of a possible 500 points, a score
between 200 and 210 is considered
good, and Craig Yamamoto managed
a high of 242.
After, all the schools in the city
have finished their scheduled league
meets, there will be a shoulder meet
in which representatives from each
of the seven participating schools will
come together and compete on a man
to man basis.

The offensive stampede of Mus-
tangs Wayne McConico and Al Al-
ston proved too much for Lowell's
Indians as they lost to Lincoln, 26-21
in Friday's playoff game at Kezar.
The Tribe began to taste turkey
in the first half but were knocked out
of tomorrow's Thanksgiving Day
classic by a Lincoln scoring splurge
after halftime.
The first two quarters belonged to
the Injuns as Jack Tacchino returned
the opening kickolf to the Lowell 45.
In the first scrimmage, Bill Ferrera
gained 18 yards. Reserve quarter-
back Dave Mehl connected with
Bruce Rosenberg on a 30 yard pass
to the three, followed by-BiH Fer-
rera's scoring plunge over right
guard. Only two minutes 49 seconds
bad elapsed.
Lowell quickly gained possession
of the ball when tackle Kevin O'Neill
intercepted a Mustang pass and ran
it 34 ya-ds to Lincoln's 22. Mehl hit
FcrrcVi for 17 yards on the five--,
where the Tribe's offense bogged
down and the Links gancd posses-
sion.TbcTO that the Indians missed
proved to be very costly.
After holding Lincoln to 24 yards,
Lowell took a punt on its 40 yard
line. After four plays Ferrera slipped
around right end for the second
touchdown. Ed Rcscnborough, who
quarterbacked the punt return, kicked
his second conversion for a 14-0
lead.
The Mustangs then marched 57
yards to make their tally. McConico
galloped 31 yards to set up the ac-
tion,and two plays later Links tackle
Fifth Playoff in Row
For Card Soccermen
When Coach Walter Drys-
dale made a pre-season predic-
tion that his soccer team may-
be considered playoff contend-
ers, he wasn't wrong, since the
squad has again qualified for the
fifth consecutive year.
Ending the season with a record
of three wins, two losses and two
tics was good enough to put them in
the number two spot.
This was Accomplished by the out-
standing offensive - playing of Ferd
"Alicia and Harry Anton who are the
high scorers on the team with, live
and three goals respectively." As a
result, these two boys are probable
all-city candidates
Also adding to this powerful com-
bination are the benefits of a pair
of fast wings, Jim Wrighting and
James Taylor. It's also possible that
these boys may receive honorable
mentions for the all-city team'
On the other hand the team de-
fense has been, considered the best in
the city because of the small amount
of goals that were allowed to get
past them. Out of five games played,
the line let only two goals go by. :
Filling in the other positions on
the team are Jose Mendoza, J:m
Siarron, Con Shiskin, Ronald Thom-
son Paul Quinby, Bill Freeman and
goalie Jim Homburg.

Jack Hurst caught a 16 yard pa lake on a new
client, ami accepted about ten phone
tails.
in between alt this (and much
more), he managed to expound on a
feu* of his ideas.
Unfair Treatment of UC Students
''The University of California lacks
leadership. They're just vacillating
over there. They must have some re-
sponsible people to talk to the sin-
ifcnt*. and Ret the problems of the
Kree Speech Movement settled."
Seated at his desk in front of an
almost life size oil painting of him-
self,Mr. HclH continues, "UCs chan-
cellor is hideously mishandling this
thing. If I were Pat Brown I would
get iirt of him immediately." Me sees
tiio Berkeley movement, a.-* one of
our state's most pressing problems,
threatening to injure the name of the
university."
He goes on, *'l don't like U, sec
those kids called Comnvcs. I don't
know if they are, hot it's ilia fastest
way to drive then* to it. They're
within their rights to picket; one
day when they're out from under-
neath their fathers' pocket books,
they'll have to be >r>ing it for them-
selves."
ICmerging from behind the reams
of paper on his desk, Mr. Belli got
up to search for an insurance com-
pany report, and then returned to
state, "Proposition !4 is completely
illegal. It will be set aside by the Su- r
prcme Court without question/*
lie is also oi the conviction that it
is our privilege to Iiave pay televi-
By JAN LOWEN
sion, and Proposition 15 which is
"cronked and criminal," will be de-
clared unconstitutional.
"I'm for Hire"
After adding half a do/cti new
names to hi* Christinas list. Attorney
Belli reveals that he still keeps in
rather close contact with his former
client. Jack Ruby. He vehemently in-
sists "his case will be reversed on
appeal. He believes that Ruby woi'l-i
have gotten a fair trial anywhere ex-
cept Dallas.
He consented to take the kuby
case because, "I'm for hire." As if
this needed clarification he goes on
to say, "111 lake any case for a large
fee, and 1 was offered one here. I'll
take a case that is interesting to me
(veu if there is no fee." He then ad-
mits, "However, in this instance I
never received the money."
P!iU>WELL
As far as Mr. Belli is concerned,
the press was fair in regards to the
trial with the exception of the Dallas
Morning \'c\vs, "Which is an ex-
ample of an utterly unfair newspaper
giving false images to its readers."
Now for the ABA
After he answered his telephone
for a while, Mr. Belli went on to
blast the American Bar Association.
"It is thoroughly and completely
selfish and dishonest; it has no in-
terest in the individual or the in-
dividual's lawyer, All it represents
arc the insurance companies and the
bankers."
He feels that the ABA unleashed
criticism against him because "I have
given them the most trouble of any
lawyer in gaining payments for my
clients. My philosophy is opposed to
theirs. They think that the plainti.T
is always wrong, and the insurar.ee
company is always in the rig'it.'
Ho ha:: some words of praise too.
"San Francisco courts are the best
in the nation . . . no . . . make that
the best in the world. The judges are
intelligent and conscientious, and
you can always be su r c that you'll
get a fair shake in court."
Mr. Belli is what could be called a
highly successful lawyer. "Law was
something that was born in me. I
just always wanted to be a lawyer,
and I knew I'd be one one day."
He doesn't disclose his average in-
come per year, but hints "when a
man makes over $100,000 a year he
can stop counting*. All tiiat matter-
is that I make enough to cat well,
live well, and drink well, of which
I do too much."
The interview ends as one of-. Mr.
Belli's petidubmi clocks begins to
chime the hour, and the man of con-
tinuous motion returns to the work
in his unbelievable world.

KEEPING IN TIME with the season, this issue we're going to really get the

the stores think that since it
is so cheery, it should be celebrated
more often. Finding that

they settled on just extending
the season till it is approximately

A Possible Change
There have been suggestions made
that our present system of holidays
could be greatly improved. We think

We could celebrate Hallowthanksmas
(or Hallowthanksnukah,
depending on your preference) as
one occasion, on three separate days.

On the .oractical side, just think
of the boost to the economy. People

Modern PE—A Solid?
Ava Swartz
Tired and bedraggled, the student slumped in her seat. The
remains of countles.s cups of cotTce lay on her rumpled blouse, and
IHT r;d eyes were swollen from lack of sleep. Poor girl. She had
been up all night studying for a final.
A gym final.
Yes, the modem Lowell is truly academic. No immature cxer-
..iscs for the Modern girl of today. It is fine if she can play volleyball
or hockey with some co-ordination, but what can she learn
from them? Will the rules stick in her mind? Will she be able to
rattle oil fencing positions in the same spirit as geometry theorems?
When it comes to the cold grade, how can a student, in all
honesty, be graded on how far the birdie went, or the distance
of the puck? A written gym fi- d is the only logical answer.
•• • • * 4c *
For those in doubt, we shall now go to a typical day in the locker
room. It is the day of the big gym test. Several girls, pencils protruding
from the leg of their bloomers are frantically comparing notes, and
devising cheating systems.
"Hey, hey! Doe.-, anybody know the meaning of love?" asks
a hefty blonde. She is busily writing everything down at the top
of her leg where a bloomer will cover it,
"Will you shattup/' says her companion, a slight, be.>peckled
girl. "I was here first. Does anybody know what a rco* goalie
does when the blue goalie kicks the ball in?" She has cleverly
attached, a piece of paper on the inside of her sweatsock, for
even though she was first in her hockey class, she wants to take
no chances.
"Golly gee, I was here before you. Can someone tell me what you
t*o when the ball hits the net?" asks another girl, trying to lick last
period's test off her hands, to make room for this one.
In the midst of all this confusion, a small voice'is heard.
''All you are all a'bunch of nuts. Who wants to study for a
.stupid gym test? It only counts if you can do the sport properly."
The girls exchange knowing glances. Yes, once they were
sophomores, and they also thought that physical education was
just that: physical education.

lf y s Beginning to
Look a Lot Like
Basketball Season
Although a great many of us don't realixc it, the 1905
AAA basketball season is just around the corner. Lowell's
varsity capers open their seasov: the first week after the twoweek
break for Christmas vacation when they meet headon
with the Mission Bears. As I have stated, many of us
are not yet in the mood for basketball; the feeling oi football
is still in the air. However, Coach Stan Stewart's caj/crs bear
watching.
On the average, the boys on ibis year's team are about
an inch and a halt taller than the boys on last year's team;
however, the individual statistics are more impressive.
To begin, all of Coach Stewart's eager* are holdovers from
last year's club, which missed the playoffs by one game.
Secondly. as I mentioned, the learn is big. Starting at center
for the Tribe will be Bill Bergcr. who stands six feet, six
incites tall, and weighs close to 200 pounds. Bili seems to
have very little trouble scoring points and mill* down a great
many rebounds due to his tremendous aggressiveness. Bill
also gathers in a great many fouls for the same reason.
One of the starting forwards will be Brian Wicklow.
Brian is six feet, three tnches tall, and shoots well from any
range, and is a line rehounder as well. The other forward will
be Paul Batmale. This six foot, one inch veteran of two varsitv
seasons, although he isn't as strong a roboumlcr as Berber
or Wicklow, but \< a good shooter just the same.
This year Coach Stewart is lucky to have three very
good guard.4'iii Tony Giovannnm, Kd Cooper, and Pat Senn.
Giovannoni. at Jive feet, ten inches, was a starter on last
year's five. Cooper and Senn were also on the .squad, but saw
only limited action. Cooper and Giovannoni arc both very
fast arvd extremely adept at working a fa.u break to good advantage.
Although Senn isn t as fast as Cooper or Giovannoni,
he is nonetheless a good shooter from all over the court.
A capable bench is another strong point about which
Ccuch Stewart can boast. Some of the more proficient nonstarters
are forwards Herb Hail. Russ Calvert, Bill Litchenberger,
and Jim Lichi.
All in all, the 1965 cage season should be interesting: to
watch. Moreover, the 1965 edition of Lowell's varsity team
i should be even more interesting to watch.

Lowell PE Teachers;
Athletes All!!
One often wonders how many times the male members of
Lowell's student body have said to themselves as they toil daily
tiuring PIL. *1 wonder what this unprintable of a gym teacher
was like in PE when he was a kid/'
Having muttered this to ourselves many times, we decided
to find out what Lowell's PE teachers were like in PE during
their youiii. \Vhen six of the nine PE instructors here at Lowell
were interviewed recently, some interesting fact* were uncovered.
For example, varsity football coach " *"
Bill Feiting informed us that while he
attended Polytechnic High School he
was a participant in soccer, football,
and lightweight basketball. Ai Marin
Junior College Air. Feiling decided to
concentrate on just football and the results
were gratifying as ht was named
to the al{'Conference team as a sophomore.
Then, at Stanford University, he
was an active member of the vanity
football squad.
When JV football rnc:>tor Andy
Korba attended Temple University
iii FhiUidrJphia, he was fortunate
cnoiigb to play under one of the moj*t
celebrated coaches in the history ot
football.
Mr. Kerbs worked ai tackle and
guard for three years under the great
Gku "Pop" Warner, vho was varsity
coac'i at Temple" at the time. In
addition 10 playing football, Mr.
Korba was 3 member of th** swimming
team for two years.
The newest member of Lowell's PE
staff, soph football coach Wetton
Moore, was a member of the track and
football teams at San Francisco State
College, in trjck Mr. Moore ran the
440 and S#0 and teas a halfback on tbt
football squad.
A most talented athlete m high
school and eolU'go was varsity basketball
toach Siau Stewart. Mr. Stev.;an
playi*d on all four basketball
teams at Washington High Sciioci,
as a senior. The year Mr. Ste.var:

Mr. Stewart also played four years
of basketball at St. Mary's College ami

Mr. Stewart is also very quick to point
out that he played against the great
BUI Russell when Russell was going
to the University of San Francisco.
Mr. Barney Wolf, track and cross

Lowell, informed us that whence attended

Kxeiuplary of the fine officers this
term is Corresponding Secretary
Carol Joseph. During the past term
she gained experience for her new
position by serving as L-12 secretary.
Carol's major aim is "to present a
clear and favorable impression of Lowell"
in her letter.?, and share with
other schools her plans and hopes
for the future She hopes to avoid
using the stereotyped phrases which
so often occur in letters and write
good, clear "pen conversation" A
promise she intends to keep is "to
investigate new and more efficient
means of conducting school activities."

"Mania's Hoy" LarryStciner holds
another very important job this term.
As rally commissioner, it is his job
to plan and supcrvfsc all rallies and
to act as master of ceremonies.
But even with a hard working
boy as Larry, one must have experience
in pUnniny rallies in order
to have success. "7 think that the
rallies have improved greatly since the
beginning of the term," comments
Larry.
He feels that his greatest asset is
his rally commission., composed of
several members of the senior class.
High Senior, Ed Hassid
Is Talent Search Finalist
"I really didn't-expect to win!" proclaimed Ed Hassid, nigh
senior, a recent finalist in the YVcstinghouse ScienccTalent Search.
Ed was chosen as one »»f five from the Western states to go

from $3,000 to S/,500. Each of the 40 competitors will be
awarded.a xtcc trip 1 to Washington and also $250 for their out*

Ed was made eligible for the Science

From the Editor
Spirit Turned Off and On
By Randy Koeraig
I have always subscribed to the belief that almost all editorials
start out with a very profound statement upon which the writer
elaborates iti the cuntent of the editorial. With this thought up-
permost in my mind, let me begin my first editorial of the spring
semester.
Spirit is something which must be spontaneous. It cannot be
turned on and oil like a light switch. At a rally for example, why
is it that when a group of students starts in chanting, "Beat the
Irish," or something else along that line, an administrator or
teacher immediately rushes up to the rally commissioner, or head
yell leader, or student body president and instructs him to call
for quiet ?
I am not advocating that we let our rallies become raucus, un-
ruly mob scenes, but during the time just before the gym has
been filled, and before any organized yells arc called for by the
yell leaders, one or two impromptu yells would not do that much
to disrupt tlic order of the rally.
In the two and a half years I have been at Lowell I have seen
close to 30 rallies, and the ones which stand out in my mind most
arc those I attended as a sophomore. For some reason, I don't
know what, they seemed more like rallies than those I attended
as a junior and senior. The rallies we have been having here at
Lowell during the past three semesters have resembled assem-
blies so much it scares me. Some time back I even recall talk
about moving the rallies to the auditorium.
As a higrh sophomore I was informed by a teacher that the
difference between a rally and an assembly was that a rally was
an informal gathering of the student body for the purpose of
building up spirit for a game, while an assembly was a forma!
gathering of the student body for the purpose of calling serious
attention to a person, group of persons, or subject. The situa-
tion now has almost gotten to the point where the difference
between a rally and an assembly is that a rally is held in the
gym and an assembly is held in the auditorium.
In my opinion, the whole situation hoils down to this: the
students should be allowed to build up spirit on their own, not
on a cue from someone else. Building spirit involves raising a
little bit of bell. This cannot be tolerated in the classroom, nor*
at an assembly. This leaves only one alternative, the rally, and
as 1 stated before, the spirit that is generated at the rally must
be something that is spontaneous rather than something that is
starftSFsind then stopped abruptly on a given signal.
In summation, what I advocate is that the faculty and ad-
ministrators try a slight loosening of the rein under which they
keep the student body at the rallies. I think it will help to make
the rallies'more pleasant for everyone concerned.
Low Sophs Sp«eak Out
Every semester, hoards of low
sophomores are set free in Lowell's
crowded hallways to lose themselves
in a confusing new world.
Spring 1965 brought to Lowell
2BQ low sophomores irom various
junior, high schools, most of them
willing to take advantage of the op-
portunities of iiigh school and form-
ing opinions of Lowell as they did.
The most noticeable change from
junior high school to high school
and what impressed many LIO's
greatly is the age of the students.
Lee Adams described her feelings
by saying, "Ax, first Lowell students
seemed so big to me that I felt like
the lowest man on the totem pole.
I guess I bad gotten used to seeing
kids mostly younger than myself in
junior high."
_ Sherry MitdzeU had a complaint—
"The thing tHat irritates me most
is always being introduced with the
phrase 'she's just a low sopho-
more'."
"Lowell is completely different to
me, but as soon as I entered it I
noticed how clean-cut the students
a--," said Sandy Gilmore. She spoke
ol one of Lowell's trademarks
which left a pleasant impression on
the majority of her classmates.
However, Walter Rask taJces a com-
pletely, different viewpoint. "I've
really noticed the'lack of so-called
'punks' at Lowell. It seems as if
something important is missing."
The size of Lowell may have come
as a surprise to some new students.
Although they probably found it
very easy to get lost the first day,
there were stHI a few comments
about the condition of Lowell's hall-
ways. One such comment is that of
Atexa Vuksich who declared, "Ev-
eryone's nice, but those crowded
halls are going too far!"
Another thing the low sophomores
value is the freedom of high school.
Bill Stephens explained, "Lowell is
big and different. Nobody seems 10
care as much what you wear and do,
and the students arc offered much
wore freedom and responsibility."
Aloag with the sophomores who
gave their opinions .>f Lowell, there
were also many who offered the tra-
ditional, "It's all right" They would
rather Wait before committing them-
selves. However, Bill Bcrgcr, who is
accustomed to Lowell by now, com-
mented, "I've been a low sophomore
for three years now, and I still thir.k
Lowell is the swingingest school in
the city."
Mike Schaeffer summed up his
feelings about Lowell by stating,
"The school itself rt small, but the
kids in it are big."

The Lowell Scene
Time Mag
The Lowell Image
Two explosive sentences in the January 29 issue of Time mag-
azine have shaken the superior smiles from Lowell faculty and
students alike. In an article on teen-age morality/the weekly news
magazine selected Lowell as an example of what is wrong with
today's youth. The article read: "The crowd at San Francisco's
Lowell High School* where students :
s'dy there were three pregnancies
last year, embarrasses a couple leav-
ing a party to be alone by crying,
"Baaaf" and jerking their elbows in
a sideward motion indicating that
the couple inU'iuls to do more than
make sheep's eyes. Interracial neck-
ing is acceptable reports junior
Clyde Lelaud, 15, 'but usually they're
the phonics trying so hard to be
'liberal'.". -" .
Clyde Lcland, a high junior, ap-
parently furnished Time with nil the
information describing Lowell's social
freedom* When asked to explain where
be received his fads and why be gave
the interview to Time^ he "graciously
declined" to comment.
Following 'Iceland's refusal, this,
reporter was forced to seek infor-
mation from Leland's classmates.
Almost unanimously they labeled
the Time article as cither ridiculous
or grossly exaggerated-
A tew individuals who believed
that Time's accusations might be
plausible, admitted that they had not,
themselves, seen any of this byplay.
Asa matter of fact,-they'.had .'not
known anyo.ift, outsideof -very vague
rumors, who might have been in-
volved in Lowell's "extra-curricular 11
activities.
Nearly everyone is wondering how
LeUnd got his information about our
"three pregnancies." High junior,
Caria Lazzcrccht found a solution,
though. She said, "Blame it on the
teachers/' (This past semester, sev-
eral teachers, married, have taken
leaves of absence because of preg-
nancy.) Perhaps, this explains away
Lclan'd's first statement, but what
about the claim that Lowell it cs aie
doing more than make sheep's eyes?
Another high junior believes that
the "Baa-ing elbow jerkek's" arc
three very close friends and no one
else. Others feel that this situation
was made up to impress the inter-
viewer.
The statement that Lowell's "phony
liberals" engage in interracial necking
has been challenged by She major part
of the student body. Many demand to
know Lelatuts information sources.
The Time interview is shrouded
in secrecy. No one appears to know
when or how it took place other than
Lcland himself.
It bat been rumored that Lowell's
emergence as a nationally famous
school has not gone unnouced.There
is reason to believe that Lincoln
High's newspaper, among others, is
prepa. 3g to gloat over our alleged
lack of academic dignity.
The S.B. Card Story-
Winning Artists
Have Their Say
THE SPRING 1965 StudentBody
Card choice will not be distributed
io the students who chose it
Instead, a binder-sized reproduc-
tion of the complicated cartoon de-
picting various television personali-
ties will be given to each Student
Body Card purchaser. .
Harold Rossit, the artist, is natur-
ally dismayed over the decision!
An alternate design that came in
second by Gene Rclampagos will be
used instead.
THE REASON FOR thcCdeci-
sion is that the winning design is
too large and complicated to legibly
reproduce.
"It's kind of unfair to him, 1 * said
Gene, who-designed-fast year's Stur
.*5ent Body Card design^ "They
'"• should have informed him.
"I just diilu't feel right," he con-
tinued, "When I found out I got it,
h didn't seem like winning, it seemed
like being second choice."
"I DIDN'T THINK I was going
to win,",, commented .Harold. "I
thought kids would vote for it just
because it stood out,
"All that work for nothing. May-
be next year I'll rnakc a larger one
just to see what'happens. Anyways,
after they told me, I was glad Gene
wo? because he is good."
Commenting on Harold's style,
Gene said, "Harold doesn't like to
draw 'pleasant' looking people."
"THE ADMINISTRATION has
censored some of my work. I can
see why, but I can't draw nice look-
ing people." said Harold.
"That's where our styles clash,"
continued Gene, "I like to draw peo-
ple who arc pleasing to the eye."
Both Gene and Harold said they
Hket), Lowell's Art Department be-
cause »t gave them a lot of artistic
freedom.
"WHKN'I WAS IN junior high,
all I did was paper mache,'* said
Harold, who is now a high junior.
What do they hope to be in later
life?
Cartoonists," the two talented ar-
tists said in unison.
Notes on a Press Preview—Ad Man Style
The Greatest StcryEverTold, rcsentatives had left, except the in-
a panorama of Jesus of Naza- evitablc Mr - Simmons,, who stood at
the door handing out folders on the
Greatest Story Ever Told.
The audience, made up mostly of
high school officers and newspaper
representatives were told by Mr
Simmons to write to Mr. Stevens!
as he conscientiously l4 reads every
i"
rcth's lite was previewed at a
special showing at the Hilton
Hotel on Thursday, February
11. Representatives from various
schools and of the film were on hand
to sec cuts of the movie that were
collaborated into a 25-minute short
entitled "The Filmmaker."
The majority of the short dealt
with showing the producer and di-
rector, George Stevens as a never
tiring genius who works with "artis-
try and reverence" into the wee
hours of the morning while the rest
of the large cast sleeps.
The selection of the films that were
shown illustrated a sensitivity rarely
seen on film. Max Von Snydow, a
strong-boned, Swedish actor, with the
rough bands of a carpenter plays Jesus,
along with a cast that includes Roddy
McDowall, Sidney Politer, and Shel-
ley Winters, among others*
Timothy Simmons, an ad-man's
ad-man, introduced the film and
painted a dynamic, dedicated por-
trait of George Stevens, and told the
audience cf 300 assorted fact and
fiction about his boss.
After his talk, Lucille Lando, the
Hedda Hopper of the Progress teen-
age set, came to the microphone to
welcome the audience and tell thtm
about the merits of Timothy Shnmons*
Spurred on by coke, sandwiches,
and pastry, the audience, including
Lowell President Terry Zachcry,
waited a patient 15 minutes while
Mrs. Lando introduced a folk sing-
ing group made .up of four boys and
three girls who have the same man-
ager as the New Christy Minstrels.
. The Christy Minstrels should have
such lu: H- V;.
Tt to have broad, liberal,
opinions, but that is not enough. r
Most of us can only imagine what it is like So suffer the bttmilia-
ton of betng refused membership in a club or service in a restaurant.
Havtng never encountered prejudice, we can only imagine. And that
usually takes loo much time; it is too uncomfortable.
Yes, it does happen here. But it doesn't have to. Arid thai is
the important rressage of Brotherhood Week.
Brotherhood cannot be turned on Monday and turned off Fri-
day. It must become a part of us. For brotherhood is color blind,
and the sooner we learn not to brand people by the color-of their

WELL, FOR THOSE, of you who have not met him yet, we
would like to introduce to you a typical Lowell student, Ack A.
Dcmmic.
Presently Ack is recovering from a nervous breakdown which
he suffered while going through one of Lowell's grand traditions,
Scramble. (He is now under the impression that it was the haz-
ing technique for a secret fraternal organization.)
Poor Ack—it seems as though this was going to be his lucky
term. He was finally going to be in the first sign-up group, after?
what seemed to be (typically) a life-time of going last.
HE AWAITED the day in great anticipation; he was sure
he'd just breeze right in and out of the gym in elegant style.
Well, our hero made it into the gym ail right. However, his
departure from the area was not quite so simple.
In all his excitement of being in the first group, Ack had failed
to hear the 25 last minute corrections to the announcer^ all of
which affected, courses which he was taking- Therefore, he de-
sired five classes which either no longer existed or had been al-
tered in some way. (He found it took quite some time to explain
why he, as r. senior was trying to sign into English 3 with Mr.
Lum Bago, second period. Nobody seemed to believe him when
last he looked, that class had been one offering world literature.)
THUS, THREE hours later, when the last group arrived with
Ack's girlfriend, Straight Cce, the young lad was still in the gym.
Cce, on the other hand, actually had no real problems. By this
time, every class except Sandskrit 8 was closed, so she ended up
having seven periods of that course (she decided to splurge and
not have a lunch period). After all, she would have to devote a
great deal of concentration to the course; she never did take
Sandskrit 1-7.
Not everyone had encountered the same problems as Cee. Her
good friend, Junie OTronr, who had gone somewhat earlier, found
herself with a much more diversified program. After her attempts
to bribe upstanding Shicldon Scroll at the sign-up table with 20
blank tardy-passes had failed, she was content to. take all her
classes the same period. She logically reasoned that this program
would have definite advantages.
JUNIE WOULD be able to attend whichever class she hap-
pened to be in the mood for that day (if she wasn't in the mood
for any of them, she could go to lunch, which was.also scheduled
for that period),or if she wanted to become truly learned, she could
attend each class daily for a few minutes, picking up bits of know-
ledge in each. (Being typically academic, she chose the second
alternative.)
Well, if-all goes well, Ack shall soon recover from his break-
down, Cee will become the official Sanskrit for the State Depart-
ment, and Junie will be ready for the 1968 Olympics (she's re-
ceiving excellent training by running the length of the building
six times durig fifth period in order not to receive cut slips from
any of her classes).
It looks as though they're all certainly receiving valuable bene-
fits from attending an academic high school.
Explosion... Tears... and Conspiracy
Spell Teachers' Embarrassing Moments
Are you sometimes embarrr.wl inr» TT.. .U~- JS -'
Are you sometimes embarrr.scd
when the teacher calls OR you in
class and you den't know the an-
swer? Don't worry—there's comfort
in the fact that these teacher3 have
felt their faces turn red, too.
Mr. GoMsborough recalls the time
he called a girl by the wrong name
for the whole semester. Apparently
she felt it wasn't worth the bother
correcting him?
Mr. Pnziss remembers the time
he was doing a demonstration for his
Chemistry I class on the proper way
to perform an experiment, and the
apparatus exploded and blew up to
the ceiling. (Great for the students'
confidence.)
Time Flies, But ...
One day while Mr. Taylor was
teaching at Hoover Junior High, the
clock fell off the wall half-way
through the period. (Maybe the class
wanted to see time 1y.)
Mrs. Leyton's misfortune occurred
during her days as a student teacher.
It seems that for some reason the
observers never showed up, except
for one day. It was on the day she
had chosen to lead the class on a
discussion of abortions.
Miss Brash was unable to forget
the time she tripped the "man Gver- „ \ r
board" signal of a ship on which she
was traveling (it's' funny how every- _ -
one seemed to rush towards her at OUTVOV OT HonOT Roll
once).
Her students must have been rath-
er horrified, when one day during
school'ihc started crying, and could
not stop to explain why. AH this
just because she lost a contact lens??
Mistaken Identity
How did Mr. Stevens feel when
he threw a student teacher who
looked more like a student than like
a teacher out of the faculty lounge?
Mr. Lown remembers the lime
that he was scheduled to appear at a
PTA meeting to talk about health
and education. A man in the audi-
ence kept asking if he was sure this
was the thing to talk about. It final-
ly turned out that Mr. Lown was
speaking at the wrong school; this
audience was expecting to hear about
fire prevention,
It-"*eems that one day Mr. Hal-
basch was talking to two or three
students before class, commenting
on today's terrible modern architcc-
turc. He Ihcn discovered that one
of the girls' fathers was the city ar-
chitect and had approved plans for
all the new buildings, including
Lowell.
Cold Feet
If you've never worn slippers to
school (mmu.o socks, natch), ask Mr.
Maxwell what it's like. Sometimes
one can be in a terrible hurry in the
morning (but isn't this a rather dras-
tic time-saver?)
Poor Mr. Fast was only trying to
give his English Review class some
practice in oral English. He planned
a Httle exercise in which two stu-
dents were introduced to one an-
other a ad then carried on a cordial
conversation in front of the class.
However, after one of the introduc-
tions was made, the conversation
didn't get too far. One of the boys
threw the other over his shoulder
into the corner with a judo throw.
Mr. Fast's face turned rather red
when he found out that tl'£ boys had
spent a day practicing this demon-
stration.
Well, these incidents point out
that life in the classroom is not al-
ways dull. Fay attention, and you
never can tell what might happen I
The present high sophomores '•_
were shown to be the most intelli-
gent class at Lowell by a recent sur-
vey of the Fall 1964 Honor Roll.
Forty-seven per cent, or 224 mem-
bers, of this class achieved at least
the necessary eight points to make
the he nor roll. The high junior class
topped their actual number of stu-
dents wirh 233, but this was only 40
per cent of the class.
Statistics show the honor roll to
contain 41 per cent of the high sen-
iors, 3$ per cent of the low juniors,
and 35 per cent of the low seniors.
Twenty-three, the highest number
of honor roll members in a single
registry, is claimed by Mr, Jamison's
sophomore and junior chemistry
study registry.'

Let's Move Cage Playoffs
To Better Time and Place
By DAVE MILANESI [
High school athletics have lonjj been a form of entertainment
for San Francisco youth, and to s»ome extent the a'-ult population.
Despite the inroads made by professional sports, many an
adult will patronize a high school contest, if given a rhancc.
For quite a few years now the AAA championship football
game has been played on Thanksgiving morning, affording an
opportunity for many adults to attend This gives the working
man a chance to view a high school game, increases the revenue,
and gives the participants a chance to play in front of a 'Veal*'
crowd.
Basketball, on tlie other hand, has no such opportunity. As a
matter of fact, many interested high school students never get the
chance to see the ;,?me for the San Francisco High School Championship.
The game, played every year in early March, is staged
at antiquated Kex.ar Pavilion, which scats only about 5.000.
Why does such a condition exist? With Civic Auditorium, the
liun:c of the San Francisco Warriors, the high schools have a suitable
arena with a number of open dates.
If the game were moved to the auditorium, another hurdle
would have to be overcome if adults were going to be able to ai
lend the game. It's ai 1 because of an Academic Athletic Association
rule which does not permit high school games to lo. played
at night. (Riordan. which has always played night games, is not
a member of the league.)

Those "doctor fearhg" individuals
who still haven't received iheir po-
Ho immunization had better shape
up or be left behind. Legal proof of
the immunization is a vital factor in
determining one's eligibility to graduate.
HAVE YOU BEEN planning
your program correctly for the past
three years? Needed to get the certificate
of graduation is six terms of
English (eight college prep.), two
terms of laboratory science, two
terms of U. S. history, and two terms
of civics. All graduating students
must have taken 30 class periods of
driver education.
Arc you wondering why your
counselor forced you to take so
much history or perhaps so much
math? The reason could be that a
special interest field or major is
needed to graduate. A major consists
of 30 semester periods in on?
subject field except that in English
the major needs *= semester periods
and in social studies 40 semester
periods.
COULD YOU RESCUE s

all high school graduates must be
proficient in first aid and life saving.
A standard test is given to all
students.
JHELOWELL
Lowell Has
An Einstein!
Murray Joe, low junior, has surprised
Lowell's Math Department as
well as the rest of the nation's mathematicians
by solving a math stamper
published in The Mathematics
Students JouraaL.
Credit will be given where credit
is due when Murray is nationally
noted as the problem solver in the
next issue of the journaL
The problem was given to the Advanced
Algebra I class by instructor,
Mrs. Alice Frederick, as an extracredit
assignment Along with the
rest of the nation's math students,
the class, with the exception of Murray,
was stumped.
The bone of contention concerned
a-greeting cards dealer who wished
to merge packets (A, E, and C) of
assorted greeting caids in varied
numbers. The question was, how
could the dealer accomplish this by
using the least number of given
birthday, greeting and-anniversary
cards in each packet ,
After spending painstaking hours.^
juggling packets from Frida^'
through Saturday's wee hours. Marray
came up with the involved algebraic
equation. When asked how
he felt at victory, he modestly replied,
"I felt kind of happy."

From the Editor Maturity vs. Cheating
For a Stable Foundation
Teenager Go Home! Lowell Students Speak
By Randy Koernig Qut On Honor Code
Breathes there a tcen-aj^er with soul so dead who never to him-
self hath said, ''Where can 1 go? ... what can T do? ... I'm
bored!!!" And breathes there a parent with soul so dead who
never to a teen-ager hath said. "There are plenty of things to do
if you'll just open your eyes!!!"
Aside from the poetic efforts made by the editor of this pub-
lication many people, teen-agers and parents alike would do well
to note what is expressed in the first paragraph. Furthermore,
teen-agers and parents alike would do well to note what is ex-
pressed, however extreme it might be, in the following open let-
ter to a teen-ager written l>y the juvenile court of Denver, Colo :
"Always we bear tbt plaintive cry of the teen-agers: 'What can we
do ... ? *Wbe*re can ire- go . - , ? The answer is ... Go Home!
"Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork, rake the leaves,
mow the lawn, shovel the ivalk, wash the car, learn to cook, scrub
some floors, repair the sink, build a boat, get a job.
"Help the church, visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons,
and then when you arc through—and not too tired—read a book. Your
parents do not one you entertainment. Your town does not owe yon
recreational facilities. The world does not owe you a living. You owu
the world something, You ou-e it your time and energy and your talents
so that no one will be at war or in poverty, or sick, or lonely again.
"In plain simple words: Grow up: quit being a cry-baby; get out of
your dream world; develop *z backbone, not a wishbone, and start act-
ing like a man or lady.
"I'm a parent. I'm tired of nursing, protecting, helping, appealing,
begging, excusing, toleratittg, denying myself needed comforts for e-
very whim and fancy just because your selfish ego instead of commori
sense dominates your personality and thinking and requests'*
As stated before, the views expressed by the writer of this
letter are indeed extreme. The person who wrote the letter sounds
like a parent who is tired of being a parent, a person who is bitter
because he could not find a. way to shirk his duties as a parent,
a person who sounds like he doesn't even like teen-agers. The
things which this person says he is tired of are among the more
important duties-of >u parent.
However eoctreme this open letter might be, it does stress one
very important point over and over again. There are indeed
plenty of things for teen-a.gers to do, plenty of things to relieve
their feelings of boredom. -And these things can be found right in
the teen-agers* own homes.
KQED's Buzz Andersen
Where Is Jim Crow?
"I never knew a Negro before.
Now I do.""
• .This is an excerpt from a letter
written to Buzz Andersen.rvho mod-
erates a weekly television "show on
KQED, Channel 9. called "Where
Is Jim Crow?*' The program deals
with finding this out, and thus bridg-
ing the lack of communication be-
tween the Kegro and the white com-
munity. -
The idea for the show came out of
a visit Mr. Andersen made to San
Francisco. A native of Seattle,
Washington, and an alumnus of the
University of Washington, where he
had his own television show, he was
shocked at the amount of prejudice
he encountered.
"I came to San Francisco and 1
began to grow* Before I was as named
of being Negro. Now I am proud. I
will hold my head up. I am a per-
son, an'! Vxn not going in anyone's
back door;'
"Can you imagine a field ol pop-
pies without* color? America, pro-
fesses that we are many nations.
Why should we try to become col-
orless?" •
Through various interviews, the
program attempts to uncover dis-
crimination and prejudice in Use Bay
Area. . . .
In the past, Mr. Andersen lias in-
terviewed such notables as Godfrey
Cambridge; which prompted one
woman to write in, "Now I know
comedians are not always runny—
they're human too/* but I*e also
strives to present the "man on the
street" views—the ones who are af-
fected by prejudice, and who are
prejudiced. ~ .'••':
As an example, he "tried to draw
school teachers out to talk about the
conditions in today's schools, but
they arc afraid to speak out"
"A part of education is to look be-
yond the structured sentence," he'
continued.
Mr. Andersen attributes much of
the prejudice he has seen to ignor-
ance. ."•„
"Ask people who have never seen
Hunters Point, and they'll call it a
garbage heap. Until the notion of
the guy in the white hat being bet-
ter than the guy in the black hat
is eliminated nothing will be solved.
"One of the reasons ^Proposition
14 passed was basically people held
on to the opinion of the Negro ste-
reotyped cliche. This relates back
to black being mysterious. Too many
people are not willing tc accept the
Negro as a human being."
Since his first encounter with Bay
Area prejudice, Mr. Andersen has
seen great strides made.
"You can't walk around with your
head bent down. You can't not go to
the Top of The Mark because, you
will be embarrassed.
"I belong to the human race. My
people are people* I feel pain. X feel
sorrow. What sets me apa.t from
anyone else?";
When asked, "Where is Jim
Crow?" he replied, "Ifs here."

An honor code has been proposed to see just how honest
Lowell's Injuns really arc.
Students would he given the responsibility of taking tests
under the honor system. This system will require anyone who
discovers another student copying . :> report the incident to a
teacher.
Tl,c
Student Council suggested
the code two weeks ago to help pre-
vent the reported cheating occur-
ring in Lowell's classrooms. It was
approved by Principal J. A. Perino-
Doubt about whether the system
will succeed is being expressed by
many students, including the follow-
ing:
Neil Duilum, H-ll
*'Few people would report their
friends for cheating during a test. Some
people would report their enemies even
tho'igh they didn't cheat. The honor
system is a good idea, but few high
school students are strong enough to
accept it."
Bob Kapkinay, H-10
"An honor system would be fine,
except that there are a few kids iu
the school that would ruin the sys-
tem. There must be 100 per cent co-
operation for it to work/'
Jim Hentz. H-ll
"I feel that the honor code would
be of no use what-so-cver. If peo-
ple cheat they will continue cheating
no matter what the situation happens
to be. Once a riicatcr, aiWays a
cheater."
Felicity Nitz, H-ll
"Todays children are growing up
much too fast. What was accepted be-
fore only in college is now being ac-
cepted in high school. The honor sys-
tem is another one of the many re-
sponsibilities which are causing them
to grow too fast."
Tina Hamilton, H-10
"I think the honor system is good
if the students are mature enough
to realize that it should be used. The
experiences leading up to this honor
should be had when the child is
young to teach him the difference
between honesty and cheating."

Win Scholarships
At Palace Bali
Former editor of The Lowell,
Ccna Silvers (F'64), and Detrie
Holt, high senior were awarded
$500 and $250 scholarships by
the 20th Century Club, on
March 6 at the Sheraton-Palace
Grand Ballroom.
The occasion was the 20th Century
Club's 17tb Annual Cotillion.The club
is a non-profit making organization de-
signed to promote and perpetuate tbe
academic standing of Negro youth in
tbe Bay Area.
1» early February of each year,
names of graduating Negro girls are
submitted io the club by counselors
and principals of the Bay Area high
schools. The students arc chosen mi
the basis of their academic ability
and citizenship. The girls are then
notified by the club and asked to
participate in the Cotillion as debu-
tantes. The high point of the occa-
sion is the announcement of the two
scholarship winders. Of the six high
schools represented, Lowell took
both honors.
The Cotillion is also the foi^ral
presentation of the girls as debu-
tantes.
The ceremony entitled "A Night
of Rosebuds/' was M-Cd by Assem-
blyman, Willie Brown who began
the program by presenting each of
the 21 girls. The introduction was
followed by the "Fascination Waltz."
Then came the scholarship presenta-
tions and the crowning of the first-
place winner.
Six schools were represented in
the Ball: Cena Silvers, Detrie Holt,
Sandra Swift (F*65), Faye Hearring

Speaks
ressman Burton
at Lowell
"In 18 years of war, all the
Vietnamese people have gained
is cemeteries/* This, figures As-
semblyman John Burton, is a
good reason for the war to stop,
and a negotiated peace to begin.
While speaking before the ne.v
Lowell Free Speech Forum, Assem-
bly Burton expounded upon his
theme that we are fighting a need-
less war in Viet, Nam.
"I don't subscribe io the dorninal
theory/* he stated in regard to the
argument used by many people, that
Viet Nam will be used by the Com-
munists as a foothold in Asia.
Complicating the situation is the
internal strife. Burton compared the
Vietnamese governments to falling
dominos, and added the fact that in
the last 16 months, Viet Nam has
gone through eight governments.
Burton reiterated his contention
that "the war is a waste of American
lives." Not only that, but Burton
feels that the Vietnamese people do
not appreciate the million dollars a
day we are pouring into the country.
The Assemblyman, -whose district
includes Hunters Point and South
of Market area, summarizes his
views as wanting a cease fire, a ne-
gotiated peace, and then a free elec-
tion under the auspices of the United
Nations. Then, for the 6rst time, the
Vietnamese people will have a gov-
ernment they want
Investing Is the Action
Word in American Economy
By NORM RONNEBERG
A stable national economy is
built much like a well-construct-
ed sentence. Both must follow a
fairly rigid structural pattern in
order to be understood and used
wisely.
The formation of a good sen-
tence demands the usage of a good
subject, verb, and various adjectives
and adverbs which clarify and
strengthen its meaning. Unquestion-
ably, capitalism is the dominant sub-
ject of the American economy and
investments arc the action verbs
which enable this financial system to
grow and prosper.
EVERY TIME an American ju-
diciously sets aside any money from
weekly or monthly earnings, a Irust
in capitalism is expressed. Rather
than hoard or recklessly spend the
pay-check's remainder, many believe
that investing in well-cstablishec'
corporations, rcspoii5iblc banking in-
stitutions, life insurance or rcai (s-
tatc will eventually yield them 'he
greatest monetary returns. V'hilc
this assumption is quite true, t'lr ma-
jority of the American public fails
to grasp why Capitalism works and
how it benefits the nation in so many
different ways.
Capitalism works only because the
people let it. It needs the support of
every individual because all money
or capital is in the hands of the pub-
The Newcomers
Bay Area Teens to
Have their Say
Through television, it has
been made possible to biuntly
expose the problemsfacingtcen-
agers today, and how, possibly,
to solve them.
Now, it is again being attempted
when Channel 9 (KQED) presents,
"Tbe Newcomers," a half-hour pro-
gram thai will deal in the discussion
of various topics bearing interest to
teenagers*
An attempt will be made to create
a belter understanding among young
people simply -by giving them the op-
portunity Co expose their views on
such controversial subjects as Civil
Rights and Censorship. The concept
of conformity and authority will
serve as future subject-matter to be
moderated by Buzz Anderson.
Casting such subjects into tbe open
will benefit tbe relationship between
teenagers and parents. Surprisingly
enough, very few adults have any idee
as to tbe ability their children possess
when it comes to discussing frankly
and intelligently, problems that face
them every day.
The first of the series, a take-off
on "The Comers," (a program ori-
ginating in New York City) will be
tclevi>cd on Thursday evening,
March 25, at 7.
In an attempt to clarity the teen-
age myth. "Who Are We?" will be
the subject of discourse and debate.
All programs will be regularly re-
peated every Friday afternoon at 4:$0.
Teenagers from all over the Bay
Area will be sent to participate in
the activities. Among the San Fran-
cisco high schools represented will
be Lincoln, Galileo, and Lowell.
A team of four students: Jim Ast-
or, Ron Bianco, Ava 1 Svrartz, and
Karen Richardson, will be sent from
Lowell to participate in the discus-
sions.
i anitemcnt places every person ot, an
equal looting; success or failure in
life is determined by incentive, am-
bition and talent. Without any inter-
ference an individual can buy an-i
sell what he wants to, live where and
how he pleases, and choose his own
occupation.
EVENTUALLY, if even rno.Ier-
ate success is achieved, a person
often desires to invest his extra cap-
ital. The question of hew to invest
is usually uppermost in his mind.
Each of hundreds of investment op-
portunit : cs possess definite advan-
tages for the investor. Buying corpo-
rational stocks strengthens the cor-
porations* fiscal outlook and encour-
age.* the employment of new labor,
thus lowering the unemployment
rate and stimulating the local econo-
my. Similarly, bonds, sold by state
and loral governments, build school;,
Iior.sinp, roads, and bridges.
;• Tri truth, nearly every investment
media adds, dirertly or indirectly, to
the general \\cluL.-c of the American
people. Institution such as these
have emphasized capitalism's virtues.
IT IS UP to tomorrow's Ameri-
cans to preserve and protect the cap-
italistic system. If they shirk ihcir
responsibility, the well-constructed
sentence of economic well being will
yield to a sentence of another type—
the sentence of a future plagued by
lack of incentive and self-reliance:
a sentence which is diametrically op-
posed to those values which have
lie -rather than the State. Such an ar-madc America great.

Cheating at Lowell?
A subject which is as old as a
Dead Sea scroll and has prob-
ably been discussed as much as
the sinking- of the Titanic is that
of cheating.
The different forms of;this "dis-
ease" are wide and varied, and re-
cent articles in the local press have
indicated that it is "infecting" stu-
dents in ever-increasing numbers,
encouraged in part by the necessity
of achieving coilegc-recommcndmg
grades.
When students are questioned about
cheating, they trnd to shy away.
When the act is committed, it is
rarely thought about twice. Yet
many pretend the problem docs not
exist when asked to comment about
it. c
But is cheating a vice one pursues
for the enjoyment o? seeing if he
can get away with it? Are parentrj
and college pressings increasing to
the point where a child can no longer
keep peace in his family with the
grades he receives by doing his work
himself? >
One high senior commented, **!
think that cheating at LoweUSs even
more widespread than people real-
ize. This is because there is coustant
pressure being put on children by
their parents." 5
This same student went on to say,
"Some teachers tend to entourage stu-
dents to cheat by, leaving the root*
during examinations"
is cheating: morally wrong or not:
Do teachers close their eyes to this

Why Not Call It
Ben Neff Field?
By DAVE MILANESI
Amid all the sudden interest in the varsity basketball team
due to their late season surge, it seems that one man was pushed
out of the spotlight he so deserves.. That man has been teaching
at Lowell longer than any other teacher, won more prep baseketbal
crowns than any other coach in San Francisco and, unfortunately,
is retiring at the end of this school year. That man is, of
course, Ben Neff.
Mr. Neff would, no doubt, be just as happy if this column was
never written about him, for he is genuinely glad to be out of
the previously mentioned spotlight. When one talks to Een Neff
he comes away knowing that he is perfectly sincere when he
states that he coached strictly because he loved the game, rot for
the fame that the game has brought him.
I (and I'm sure quite a few others) feel that Mr. Neff deserves
to be remembered around Lowell fosr generations to come. With
new bleachers being constructed arotxnd the football field it seems
only appropriate that this field be given a name. Why not Ben
Neff Field? The only objection mig-ht be that Neff was a basketball
coach, not a football coach. This is a minor point, and, in my
opinion, an unimportant one.
RETIRES—High school basketball fans Have sieen thisscene for the last
time. Ben Neff finished his career as a basfcetbali coach with a lightweight
victory over Balboa last month. •
Let's take a look at some of Neffs many accomplishments
over the past years. It's been 12 long years since the Tribe has
taken a varsity basketball crown. The last club (1953) went on to
finish third in the Tournament of Champions after taking the city
title. ji
All together the Indians have won 13 titles, more than any
other school in San Francisco. Lowell took the title in 1930, '31
'32, '35, '36, '37, '38, '39, '45, '46, '47, >49, ^ 1953. The five championships
in a row\( f 35-*39) still stands an a city record.
Neff, of course, coached all these teams. He rates the 1949 club
as the best he ever coached despite a. loss to licClymonds in the
Tournament of Champions finals. Ken ^lowers, later an All-
American at Southern California, led the team to a 33-1 record.
The 1947 quintet won the first "T.O.C. ever played. Ward
Healy and Bob Matheny sparked tHat team.
Among the stars" Mr; NefFc!pached were Richie Hay, only
player to make All-City three years; Bob Feerick, former coach of
Santa Clara University and the S.F. "Warriors; Bill Calhoun, former
All-Pro; Paul Harless, one of the most successful coaches in
California at McCiymonds High; Ho-wie Dallmar, currently head
coach at Stanford; and Tom Meschery, former All-American at
St. Mary's and presently a San Francisco Warrior.
Another interesting sidelight is tbat Mr.-Neff has coached for
two generations. Paul Batmale, a standout on this year's varsity,
and his father, Dr. Louis Batmale, presently Dean of Men at
City College of San Francisco, both playecl for him.

Late Season Spurt Makes Successful Year ior Cagers
Who would have thought last
January 27 that Lowell would
be involved in a championship
match with St. Ignatius over a
month later. For those of you
who don't sec the connection,
January 27 was the day the Indian
cagers lost to lowly Galileo.
It was one of the two games
the disappointing Lions won all
year, the other over last place
Poly.
The next week the Tribe met high
riding Sacred Heart Nobody gave
them a chance, and with justification.
The Irish had little trouble in disposing
of Lowell by a 63-51 count.
The Indians were in a tight
squeeze as far as a pl?.yoff berth was
concerned. They wouM have to win
their remaining three games, all
against playoff contenders. As everybody
knowu they came through,
knocking off Lincoln, Wilson, and
Balboa. By the time, the smoke
cleared only Wilson was left in the
playoff.
Lowell fans soon realized that victories
in those three games led the
Indians right back where they started,
a game with S.H. Once again the
daily papers and most of the student
body felt that the result was a foregone
conclusion. However, Lowell's
cagers surprised everybody, particularly
the four-time defending Irish.
Lowell grabbed an eight print lead
at ihe end of the first period and
never looked back. It was a typical
Lowell game with well rounded
scoring and no outstanding star. It
also displayed another trait of the
'65 team, the come-through performance.
Guard Pat Scnn fouled out
during the second half after scoring
ten points. Coach Stan Stewart went
to the bench and surprised everyone
by putting Jim Licht, a senior
who had seen little action, into the
game. Jimmy responded with a quick
nine points that helped hoU' the onrushing
Irish off.
The final score was Lowell 53,
Sacred Heart 49.
Lowell then met S.I. with only
two day's rest. The Wildcats, who
had no trouble in beating Wilson the
day before Lowell played, were well
re-ttcd. Most of the regulars had not
played much more than a half.
The Indians were well on their
way to pulling another upHct, leading
at the half 28-23. iBut, try as
they might, the tired Tril)e was completely
outclassed in the second half
They scored only one point in the*
third quarter and eight in the fourth
The 'CatH tallied 26 to win goine
away, 49-37.
B
At this writing the All-City team
has not been released. Special recognition
is due Paul Batmale, the
most consistent player all year. Paul
led the team in scoring with 99
points and rebounds with 67. He was
followed by Ed Cooper in scoring
and Bill Litchenber^r in rebounding*
Swimmers Drysddie Feels Outlook Bright Alexander Wins
Looking for
City Opener
"AH in all, things look pretty good
for our teams, particularly the 20*5
and 30V commented Coach Bill
Fciling. "So far/' he continued, "S.L
has the team to beat. Their varsity
is strong due to a number of returning
veterans."
So far the teams have met Capuchino,
Carlmont, and Taxnalpais
High Schools in practice meets. Although
the general performance in
these meets has not been particularly
good, this is not really an indication
of the teaai performance in the
regular matches. "We compete with
city teams on a more equal footing;
after all, most schools outside the
city have their own pools and more
opportunity to practice," the coach
sacd. The Indians have not won a
rueet this year.
The team is certainly looking to
certain members for help. Some of
these returning members are: Jim
Astor, a returning undefeated varsity
diver, who held the city record
for the 30 f s; Chuck Root, a varsity
swimmer who took two All-City
events in his sophomore year; Bill
Wise, who is expected to rank high
in city competition; Paul Sakai, an
all-around swimmer; and Barry
Slesinger, a former '20 who will
swim 30's this semester.
Returning varsity veterans are
Gary Grossman, Steve Levin, Paul
Haskell, Steve Babcock, Jeff Key^
and Chuck Everett. ;
Promising newcomers include.
Brad Nimitz, Don Carmody, Steve
Sandy, Bob Hughes, and Wideburg
Izen. Also promising arc Bruce Edwards,
Clyde Leland, Stu Pivnick,
and Mark Harris, all of whom are
returning lightweights from last

With an early, pre-season record of one win, one tie, Lowell's
baseball team is expected to be a playoff contender, according
to Coach Walt Drysdale. The team meets S.I. today at Nealon
(BigRec).
The varsity nine, captained by •
three-year veteran Steve Howder,
has been practicing constantly since
the beginning of the spring semester.
As a result of this determination and
drive, they recently captured a bardfought
victory against City College's
junior varsity.
The team's first league game,
against Lincoln High School, was
played March 16, at "Big Rec" in
Golden Gate Park.
Coach Walt Drysdale feels that
"We have a fine, hustling dub/' and
that "our chances, this year, are very
good." However, he hesitates to
make a prediction as to the final
league standings because "in base*
ball, there is no way of knowing beforehand
which teams will win or
lose,"
Returning again this year to
varsity action are Steve Howder,
catcher; Duffy Jennings, first base;
Reg Browne, second base; Ferd Alicca,
third base; Mike Cronk, shortstop;
and Jim Malick and Jim Lee,
pitchers.
Several boys new to.Lowetij.nr recruited
from the junior varsity will
round out the team roster. Among
these are hurlers Rich Heintz, Ed
Portnoy, and Ron Ricks; outfielders
Bob Brown, Larry Jacobsec, and
John Gknaras; catcher, Carl Neilsen
; and second baseman Terry
Zachery.
High senior Smith Alexander has
recently been awarded a trophy for
outstanding marksmanship, in competition,

Spikers Rebuilding After

"Lowell's track team has potential
this year, but it will need
a lot of hard work/' states Track
Coach Barney Wolf, summing
up this term's prospects.
"We had two fine track stars last
season in Lou Kirtman and Don
Boyle, and unfortunately, these boys
haven't been replaced. The team is
well-balanced, but it is also a young
team, with most of the varsity members
being juniors. This means that
Lowell's term next year should be
one of the best ever."
So much for last year and next

lowe5B Survey
Varied Opinions Voiced on Cheating
By BETTY BOOTH
Although the response to the
"(."heating Survey" which ap-
peared in the last issue ot the
paper was very limited, those
who titd bother to 0)1 out the
poll did have very decisive ideas
about cheating at Lowell arid
in general.
Tun questions concerning the dis-
honesty of cheating wore featured in
the surrey in hopes of receiving a
>chr>o!\vide opinion of student re-
action u» .he subject. Fifty question-
ing es were rctarncrl by Lowell read-
er*.
Eighty-seven per cenr of those
who replied said that they have
cheated on at least one test. One
niscrcprmcy oi tie p'MI showed that
only 5-1 per cent thought that cheat-
ing is n-.orally wrong, yci 71 per cent
believed that cheaters should be
punished.
ANOTHER CONTRADICTION
tA the* poll was that S3 per cent ol
liit* surveys told that students do not
cheat a> a rule but the answers of
55 per cent stated that che.:."in? is an
accepted practice among today's stu-
dents.
When asked "Do boys or girls
cj^'at more?" 5-S per cent voted boys,
but 21 per cent believed that cheat-
ing among boys and girls is of ar.
rqral amouux.
A touchy question asked if this
form of vice is accepted by teachers.
Seventy-nine per cent said that
teachers try to eliminate cheating
and do not ignore it- Fifty-four per

One of the chief reasons for
this over-emphasis is tne desire
of parents for their children
to get college recommending
grades, ^-us desire has made
them turn to monetary payment
for encouragement.
A tveent News-Call Bulletin ar-
ticle written by Francis Hamilton
dealt with this common problem.
One of ilic paragraphs contained
this statement concerning grade com-
pensation: "'Ont principal told the
California Tcatucrs Association that
he knew of a boy who got bonuses
totaling $4,000 from his father dur-
ing the last three years of high
sdtoci for Kr*«kc or'themselves,
not for money. However, a reward
of money in the form of a scholar-
ship is an lion'. lc and acceptable
payment for achievement."
Thinking it wise to give children
an added incentive was high junior
Susan Astaff. She proclaimed, "Par-
ents can give their children a little
token of appreciation for getting
good grades. This is fine as long as
they do not think that they must be
paid. 1 have received money but
only when my parents really think
1 have earned it"
THE WHOLE PROBLEM loils
down to this question: Arc the pres-

stale air. Evidently, the bomb scares
of the last decade made the archi-
tect feel that a windowless, airless
classroom would be a dandy fall-out
shelter.
Students searching for air m Lov-
elPs hallways also have little luck.
Twenty-six hundred other people are
caught in a mass of bedlam and con-
fusion. The original school design
allegedly provided for an extra foot
on each side of the halls, but an
economy-minded Hoard of Educa-
tion felt that Lowell students were
rugged enough to weather the perils
of cut-slips (it is often impossible to
get to class on time) and claustro-
phobia. Indeed, ihe school audito-
rium is not a place for someone fear-
ing closed spaces; built for approxi-
mately 1,000, it has, on occasion,
held many more students.
Today, most urban buildings are
built vertically to conserve space. How-
ever, Lowell is spread out over an area
of four city blocks. The distance isn't
really noticeable until it is time to
run from the shacks to the cast wing.
• From the outside, it appears that,
as the architect realized the need
for more classrooms, he just lacked
them on, lengthening the school a
little bit more each time.
Actually, thou^, going to Lowell
can be fun! It is so easy to pretend that
the campus is a big, misshaptmed game
board. If you find the balls empty you
move forward three spaces; if you
eat cafeteria food you lose your turn;
r mm ing from the shacks through the
rain causes a loss of two spates while
being found in 'be balls by Mr. Lee
makes you forfeit the game.

Apathy vs. Justice
By Randy Koernig
Always we teenagers hear the plaintive cry of the adult,^"The
trouble with today's teenagers, is that they don't want to do'any-
thing : they're lazy and apathetic!" This teenager feels th;.' people
who L-'-e in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. When it comes
to apathy, no one could be more apathetic than the adults of this
modern era. "V.
At least one day a week we pick up a paper an$ see where a per-
son was robbed, or stabbed, or~beaten, or raped, \yhife a group ot
people, nearly always adults, stood by and warcb*\ These people
who stand by doing nothing usually give the x.cble excuse, "I
didn't want to get involved."
Lewis F. Powell Jr., president of the American Bar Association,
stated recently in San Vrancisco that apathy condones crime. Mr. Lewis
elaborated, "Apparently crime statistics don't become meaningful to
the average citizens unless he or bis family is ajfected." Lewis also said
that although there are underlying economic and social reasons for
crime, citizen apathy has broadened the base and made "widespread
violation" a fact of American, ttfz—whether the crime is rape or get-
ting away with a )'ake injury. The AB^cbU^preslea^his feelings
further by making the statement, "We realize that this relates to what
happens aftsr a crime is committed. But we believe that there is reason
to hope that if a criminal justice is administered more effective*^ there
will be dsterrents." ; ~^;
This last statement points up another sad fact of modem
American life, apathy in the administration of justice. For ex-
ample, recently in Chicago, two men were brandishing; broken
bottles in a crowded public placf;, two plainclothesmen spotted
the men and moved in to relieve them of their lethal playthings.
One of the men became indignant and challenged the two officer*
to tnke.the bottle ».f they wanted it. With that, the policemen drev
their pistols and the two men lashed out atlhem with the bottles.
One of the officers was critically injured and 29 stitches were re-
quired to close the cuts inflicted on his face. When the. two bottle-
wielders were brought before a judge, he simply released them
and said that the officer had no right to draw a gun on the.•uien
and so he got what he deserved.
When adults condone apathy like this in such high places they
have no right whatsoever to say that teenagers are apathetic. How-
ever, we.teens arc nor completely absolved of all blame. Last year
at the first l-incoin-Lowell footbull game, some people may re-
member a member of the Lowell band who had his band nat taken
by a group of boys from Lincoln. A great many LowcH : students

Violence Major Threat
To High School Sports
By DAVE MILANESI
VIOLENCE AT HIGH school athletic contests has become
a major problem (taring the past «lcc;u!c. The problem is nationwide
and San Francisco has had its share. Fighting and general
mayhem has force:! the city to curtail a nui>i*>er of traditional
activities.
Most present high school students are not familiar with the
5\m Francisco Football Pageant* an event that started the football
season for years. Every team would play a quarter of a game
against another league team. The games didn't count in the standings,
but it r'id provide an idea of the strengths and weaknesses
of the various teams. Each school was also represented by a
rooting section, something which eventually led to the collapse
of the pageant. Riots frequently started end finally became so
bad that the whole affair was discontinued. The iast one was held
in 1958.
THE AAA CHAMPIONSHIP baseball game was played at
night at old Seals Stadium and later at Candlestick Park. In
1^61 the number of fights became so serious that the game was
switched to daytime and moved to iiig Rec This not only prevented
a number o» people from atiending"the game but also cost
the league a lot of revenue since no money could be charged for
admission at Big Rec.
This was not the end of the violence problem. Last year at
the Balboa-Washington basketball game students from both
schools poured onto the court and began brawUng. A couple of
years ago a riot almost started at a Sacred Keart-St. Ignatius
bafkeibal! game. The game was for the league crown, and feeling
was naturally high on both sides. Late in the game when
there was a Hale shoving going on under the basket rooters
from both school? charged down W- the floor. The authorities
quickly got things under control, but the threat of a full-scale
riot hart many of them worried. :~
These events caused police and school administrators to
seriously consider curtailing high school sport?. No more major
incidents have occurred and things have finally cooled off. However;
the thread of curtailment or suspension of high school sports
in San Francisco is ever-present.
A LARGE PART of the national problem is centered around
racial unrest. Last March 9 in Detroit nine white students were
stabbed after a tournament basketball game between Northwestern
Kigh (almost entirely Negro) and Highland Park High
(equally divided racially). The nine said that they were attacked
by Negroes. As a result of this school authorities moved the remaining
two tournament gnmes and ordered that they be played
without spectators.
Last year in New York City a riot broke out in Madison Square
Garden after a championship basketball game. The games are
no longer played in the Garden, having" been moved elsewhere
so that crowds can be kept smaller and under control.
In Washington. D.C., a few years ago racial violence erupted
at a championship football game resulting in the grtmc-.s being discontinued.
Many have suggested that .all high school fcfames be played
without spectators; others that high school sports; be abolished
all together." If things don't improve it appear.*' tli;i? prep sports
as we know them today will be a thing of the psat.

Lowell Has Nationally Ranked Diver
By NORM RONNEBERG
After capturing San Francisco's
diving crown three years in
a row, high senior Jim Astor is
confident of winning his fourth
All-City championship later this
season. This is especially remarkable
for a boy who has
been diving for only five years.
Since Jim came to Lowell as
a freshman, he has been one of
the key members of the swim-
JV's Lose Opener
The J.V. nine opened the season
by losing to Lincoln 9-1. Mario Maronnc,
starting for the Tribe, gave
up four runs in the first inning, then
was replaced by Dave Parsons.
Dave held the Mustangs until the
fourrli, when he tired and gave up
two runs.
Steve Pankhe came :n and gave an
additional throe runs before retiring
the side. The Indians scored only
once in the seventh.
George Blankenship went the distance
for Lincoln, striking out 11.
It was the first league game for
both teams as the Mustangs grubbed
a share of first place.
ming team. This year is no exception.
So far, however, the varsity's
efforts have been less than
outstanding. Astor explains the
team's so-so record by saying
"Even though there is potentially
a good batch of kids, th ; .s
will have to be a building year,
because we recently lost a lot
of good swimmers."
Although this year's swim team
might be average, Astor certainly is
not. In five major swimming competitions
during the last few years, he
has either won or placed quite highly
in the diving categories.
With a list of ton dives, including
the swan dive, back dive, cut-away,
half gainer, and combinations of the
back dive, reverse, and twist, Jim
took two firsts at the Junior Olympics
in Redding and captured the

Baseballers Winless
There's nothing left for Lowell's

honors. Any chance for
team honors went out the window
when the club lost their
first four league contests.

Editorial
Apathy vs. Lowell
Recently it has come to the attention of The Lowell staff that
. Furthermore, some individuals assert that it is
the fluty of the school paper to fill the void created by the lack of
spirit and apathetic nature of the majority of the student body.
The duty of The Lowell is the seme as that of any other high school
paper: to inform and entertain its readers* Moreover, the school
paper is not divine. U cannot say to its readers, "Be spirited; love thy
school; this is it bat we are telling you because it is right," Tbe paper
thai does this will get little favorable response, if any at all.
Granted, there is a definite void as far as spirit is concerned,
l»:;t this * i>\\\ must be filled by the students themselves, and they
must do it without being told, otherwise nothing is gained. If a
person is told to do something, he does not get as much out of it as
he would have had he done it on his own.
The ciain cause of apathy with regard to spirit is the fact that
people today are basically apathetic. The Lowell coul'ri print
thousands of articles urging its readers to rectify the spirit deficit
which exists at Lowell, but if the students of Lowell High School
don't care about spirit,, then ail the news articles on the subject
would amount to nothing more than so much wasted ink and
paper. —THE EDITOR

The Galileo chapter of the Quill
and Scroll Society sponsored an All-
City journalism conference recently
in which high school editors and re-
porters were given an opportunity
to meet each other and discuss mu-
tual problems.
Kcynoting the conference was Mr.
Harry Press, city editor of theKews-
Call Bulletin, who spoke on "Bread
and Butter Journalism."
After t* short question period with
Mr. Press, each school was invited
to discuss the problems oi t!»eir re-
cent publications.
Lowell and Lincoln students were
quick io bring up censorship of */«-
dent writings. They reported on recent
examples of newspaper censorship
within their respective schools,
Mr. Jcrvold Werthimcr. associate
professor of journalism at San Fran-
cisco State, who was a guest at the
conference, expressed himself in op-
position to school newspaper cen-
sorship. Mr. Wcrthimer spoke ex-
tensively on "Freedom of the Press
in Today's School."
At Corona, sportsnviter for tbe
News-Call Bulletin, examined many
aspects if sportf writing. Adding a
broader perspective to tbe subject of
journalism was Mr, Deacon Anderson,
ntws director of KPtX, who explained
the how and utby of "Sews in Fix."
A casual lunch orcak provided an
opportunity for students to get ac-
quainted, and Lowell students found
that other schools had problems
quite similar to those they were ex-
periencing. "
The afternoon discussion again
drifted to censorship and a number
of ideas were presented/none really
resolving the problem all of the
schools seem to be facing.
Lowell had the largest representa-
tion of the six schools present. At-
tending journalists from Lowell
were Cathy Cicerone, Doris Holt,
Jan Lowcn, Nancy Luscia, Dave
Cutriel, and Norm Ronneberg.
By BOBBI PIZZIMENTI
"Between two kinds of food, both
equally tempting, first a man might
die of hunger, ere he one could free-
ly choose.'* In these, his own words
from Paradise, Canto IV, Line 1,
Dante Alighcn expresses the very
essence oi his life and quest for
truth.
We celebrate this year tbe seven
hundredth birthday of that great poet,
btu more than that we honor tbe legacy
be left tha world in his various vol-
umes.
His major work. The Divine Com-
edy, is acclaimed as one of the great-
est pieces of literature of all times.
It depicts a journey through Hell
and Purgatory led by the pre-Christ-
ian poet Virgil, and finally through
Paradise, with Beatrice, the woman
Dante loved, as guide. In it, Dante
poses the two foods, between which
man must choose—two movements
toward God-
Virgil's presence sets hint up as a
symbol of the guidance of reason,
the finding of God by means of man's
earthly experience and knowledge.
Beatrice in Paradise, to whom
Dante is ceded upon entering Para-
dise, is the representation of divine
revelation, love, and grace.
Throughout the entire work is the
biting criticism of the Church and
the empire for having upset Chris-
tendom to the point of chaos.
Dante went farther into that prob-
lem in his De Monarchia. In this
book is revealed his entire political
philosophy—that of a united Europe
under the guidance of two major
figures, the pope and the emperor.
At this distance forward in history
we can appreciate the durability of
these ideas that have recurred so
often since, and are pending even
now.
The poet Aligheri was brilliant to
the degree that his major contribu-
tion to our modern world has been
virtually overshadowed, and that is
that his -book, De Vulgari Eloquenti,
actually laid the foundation of the
modem Italian language, the im-
mediate forerunner of the Italian
spoken commonly today.
For all his contributions he is hon-
ored equally by individuals and so-
cieties throughout the world. One

It was just another day.
Easter vacation was over and
hundreds of San Francisco students
prepared to return to the "same old
routine"—school.
Once again teenagers jammed them'
selves on morning buses and streetcars
—many of them comparing notes on
how or where they spent tbe previous
week.
Apparently the nmrning of that
first dayslippcd by quietly and lunch-
time quickly approached.
As the custom had been for some
time, scores of students left school
grounds on that Monday afternoon
and headed for their old "hang-outs"
—drive-ins that had previously been
abandoned over the Easter holiday.
Just as the routine fad been cus-
tomary for a number of teenagers, it
was also for Rodney Garci**, a I6~vear-
old Balboa High School student.
It was an average afternoon affair,
with the same crowd and the usual
amount of noise.
While Rodney was standing with
a group of some 150 students, a car,
attended by six youths, pulled up
into the parking lot.
Two gun-sbots later Rodney Garcia
fell to tbe floor—dead—an innocent
victim of a brutal slaying.
Now, the question immediately
arcsc a? io why this boy had been
the target of a brutal attack. Was
lie the kind of person who knew *iow
to press a guy so far that it finally
drove someone to seek revenge?
On the contrary, it was no secret
tiUit Uodncy v.*as well-Hired and
well-received by nearly everyone
who knew him.
Some people might call his deal a
an unfortunate result of circum-
stance since his attackers did not
aim their shots at anyone in par-
ticular. Others simply say that be
happened to be in the wrong piaofi
at tnc wrong time. And still others
go further and b'amc his death on
society—the sani*: society that pro-
di-ccd the six persons responsible for
Rodney's death. But in whatever
manner Rodney's death Is interpret-
ed, there is still some significance be-
hind it. There has to be in order for
the public and for the people who
knew him to accept his death.
Strangely enough, it was this tragedy
that forced people to become aware of
a hind of confusion that exists amidst
today's youth. Perhaps by recognizing
this lark of harmony in one's environ-
ment, people will take the interest and
the time to more seriously survey tbe
situation.
Now, this recognition may not
seem to be of importance to some
people, but it does exist
There should be some reason to show
that Rodney didn't die in vatu.

What Really
Went on
The night of the last Lowell
dance for the term approached
rapidly as Pres Ident of the
high sophomore class searched
frantically for a theme. Every
idea that came into his mind
was rejected either by the class
or the administration, until one
week before the dance "April
in Paris" was decided upon.
PRES IDENT and his crew spent
the Friday of the dance dreaming up
decorations and cutting classes to
make them. It took hours after
school for a well-meaning but over-
sized group to argue where each
little balloon should be placed, while

the combo.
AT LAST THE strains of "soul

couples jumped lo the floor to ex-
press their innermost feelings
through the graceful motions of the

night as Pres watched the clock to
make sure that the combo played

Pres looked at the clock which read
10:57, and he realized that there was
no one to check out coats. He quick-

and rushed off to the auditorium.
Soon the room was tilled with 50
confused sophomores, all matching
colored tags and shoving coats at
familiar faces.

WORKERS ARISE!
By NORM RONNEBERG
You see them in the halls, practicing the "Selma Shuffle." Acres
of protest buttons rest above their fiercely beating hearts. Some are
strictly tvy-icague, while others wear chartreuse ponchos and lei their
hair grow and grow. Who are they?—Lowell's professional liberals!
They are individuals who find life beautiful during pickcttngrs*-
ins, he-ins and shop-ins. As long as a cause has been -labeled "liberal,*
they arc willing to give it their heart and soul. They desire to make
tnc world better for mankind and improve the lot of the underprivi-
leged.
IN MY OPINION, this heart-and-soul enthusiasm has been mis-
placed. If Lowell's progressives want to help their fellow men, indis-
cr.mmately. they should lay down their placards and do something
constructive.
The hours spent protesting, and criticizing any and all authority
coum be better put to use by tutoring underprivileged children in the
Western Addition, enabling them to become the intellectual equal of
the suburban child.
Many jobs, such as tutoring, arc open For any teenager who has
the timc-and desire to help someone who is physically,'mentally, or
financially less privileged than himself. |,
COMING FROM BROKEN HOMES, where the father is absent
and the mother works, slum children have no incentive to learn. So
they usually drop out of school as soon as it's legal. Night study
centers, staffed entirely by volunteers, are usedto encourage chil-
dren to study..Staff-members help with homework, counsel on family
problems, and try to set the culturally deprived child on a more equal
(oottng in society. More volunteers are needed.
The facilities of the Recreation Center for the HamUcappcd open
«p a new world to many severely crippled children. The center is
«>MC tn the few ulaccs where these children can enjoy themselves with-
out being ostracized because they are "different." Volunteer workers
entertain them, play games, and teach them. More volunteers are
needed.
CAMERON HOUSE is sponsoring a tutorial program for Hong
ntf refugees. These recent arrivals aie taught English and how
to adapt themselves to a new and bewildering country. Also, day
camps aw operated for children who arc alone in the city during Hie
simmier. Both activities arc manned by volunteers. More volunteer:-
These arc only a few of the literally thousands of volunteer oppor-
tunities m San Francisco. For every student in Low-ll today, there r-
a volunteer job which is perfectly uilcted to his or her canailles.

Dominate City Sports

With the ba.seball season over half completed. St.* Igna-
tius appears to be well on its way to another crown. Coupled
with the baskfth;*!] championship, it makes for quite a success-
ful year athletically 1 on the Hilltop.
THIS YEAR is indicative of what the parochial schools have
been doing 1 to the Academic Athletic Association's major sports.
S.I. took tr;« basketball title from Sacred Heart after the Irish
had won the crov;n four vears running.
S.I J. rook the base^u'l title in '61. S.I. in "62 and Yo. A public
school. Galileo, finally won it last year, but Sacred Heart won
the round robJn crown, and Gal had to edge them out in the play-
offs. .-"• • ••-—•• "•'•"•-."•'
The S.I. fiotijail team of '62 and "6.3 were probably the best
in Northern California. Their domination was ended this year by
Washington, but right now the 'Cats arc among: the favorites
for 1965.
I ihink the football dynasty at St. Ignatius is just part of a
cycle. Xot so with basketball and baseball, however. The'Catho-
lic" Youth OjgcsmV.ation provides inter-schoo! competition fo;
youngsters irv parochial schools as early as the fourth grade.
Football, .of course, proves too cosily, but baseball and basketball
teams are issued uniforms, provided with coaches, and play a
regular league schedule. While the caliber .of play often leaves
something to be desired, the experience these youngsters get
ev.dently pays off handsomely when they reach high school.
THREE OUT of the five All-City basketball players had for-
merly pinned in the CYO. They were Paul Batmalc (Lowell),
Bob Portman (S.I ). and Vane DeVost (S.li).

Conformity
Happiness Is Belonging
THE LOWELL Friday, May 28. 19.,; •i,1,l,,y. May 28, 1965
The Contemporary Lowell Image
By COURTNEY COMPTON
While wolves travel in packs
ami sheep move in flocks, man
usually sticks with his own
herd, especially in high school
where it is most often true that
"Happiness is Belonging"."
The two most important things in
a teenager's life are to be liked and
to be accepted into the "in" group.
But -there are always some "non-
conformists" who try to be different
either to serve a purpose or else just
to he different.
THIS IS A LISTLESS, quiet,
worried generation which abhors
conformity verbally, yet sees no
other practical choice. Later some
may feel that things could have been
different, that somewhere along the
line they missed an opportunity.
To a certain extent students must
conform; under democracy and the
school system they must acknowl-
edge the guidance of a chosen leader
or else live in chaos. After all, it is
the duty of the school to set stand-
ards of conduct.
BUT THE PROBLEM is that
the typical teenager is afraid of be-
ing laughed at, so he acts with the
crowd without considering 1 whether
it is right or wrong. Instead of choos-
ing friends according to whom he
feels most comfortable with, he ad-
apts himself to their ways because
they arc "in."
By smoking and drinking the ieen-
agcr tries to prove that he is a man;
thirty years later he tries to stop to
prove the same thing. There is no
sense to either unless we really en-
joy them. Chances arc that most of
the drinking crowd drinks just to be
like the others. In the same way the
student will swear in front of his
friends to impress them, but amaz-
ingly enough he manages to control
himself around his parents.
THERE ARE THOSE who be-
lieve that attention is popularity,
but a great difference lies between
the non-conformist and the exhibi-
tionist. One who comes to school in
a wet-suit may only win the atten-
tion of the administration instead of
the admiration of friends.
Each school has its groups of in-
tellectuals who dress and act to
stand out from everybody else. But
instead of being different, they only
conform to thrir stereotype.
THE TWO THINGS that pro-
vide the difference between each
teen arc respect and responsibility,
not attire or appearance. As a re-
sult of achievement one wins re-
spect, and by earning respect one
gets popularity.

Outside Intervention:
The Answer to Racial Unrest
By RANDY KOERNIG
AS I WALKED through our hallowed halls recently, I over-
heard one student telling another, "I'm going to Selma this sum-
mer." I did not bother to turn around and see who the student
was, for I felt it was none of my business. A little further on, how-
ever, I wondered to myself why a high school student has the
idea that he or she can improve the situation in Selma, or any-
place else for that matter.
Before any of you start screaming "Bigot," let me make it
clear that I do not condone the Ku Klux Klan and the Sheriff
Jim Clarks of the southern portion of the United States. On the
other hand I do not condone clergymen who leave their pulpits
nor students and teachers who leave-their classrooms to flock
to an area they have never seen for the purpose of "pleading for
someone else's rights/'
All that these people do is complicate an already ditficult situ-
ation. A band of students cannot grant the right to vote to peo-
ple .Who' are deprived of this right; nor can teachers or clergy-
men. The only ones who can grant them this right are the legis-
lators in the Congress of the United States, who, 1 feel, arc mak-
ing a definite attempt to see that something be done.
IN THE ISSUE or civil rights Congress most certainly has
its work cut out. It must work within certain constitutional
boundaries and must be sure that, in passing civil rights legis-
lation it does not go too far in the other direction, as was the
case with California's now-defunct Rumford Act.
To say that a problem exists in the South would be gross un-
derstatement. However, civil rights is not the only area of dissen-
tion in the South which needs straightening out. Rather, i*: is the
whole.governmental system which needs to be cleaned up. It is
the Jim Clarks who run a great portion.of the South,.'and it is
not only the Negro who suffers because of it. It is the white man
who suffers right along:>yith him for, if he does not have an "in"
with the Jim Clarks, he too pays dearly.
THE PROBLEM OF VOTING rights for Negroes in the
South is one which must be alleviated if the United States con-
tinues to call itself a truly democratic nation; however, the fight
for these people's voting rights will be settled a whole lot sooner
and a whole lot easier if it is left to those "cooler heads" in Wash-
ington.

Teen Drinking
Unforgettable Night The 'In' Thing to Do
The time: March, 1965
The snow has just melted ...
Spring fever is felt by all . . .
and . . . anxious giris of the
senior class are speculating on
their chances for a date ^o the
Senior Prom.
Once the man has been trapped,
the victor, Sue Sly, sets out on her
tedious journey to all the dress
shops. After endless hours of trying
on formats, the perfect dress is
found. The price indicating its beau-
ty is $36.95. Of course, a matching
purse, shoes, and cape arc a neces-
sity to complete the ensemble — a
mere ?33.95 more.
THE ELEGANT atmosphere of
this nostalgic event could not be
complete without Sue Sly's date,
Joe Cool, in a formal,; rented tux-
edo. The mirage of wealth r^sts
$8.00.
June 11, the day set for the glo-
rious event, is one of hysteria and
confusion. Cries of grief echo the
house-when'Sue Sly finds her shoes
don't fit or they're the wrong color
of pink or perhaps she hates the way
the hairdresser did her hair. Prob-
lems of a masculine nature evolve
in the home of Joe Cool when his
tuxedo doesn't fit or he can't find the
shoe polish that has somehow disap-
peared.
AT LAST AS Joe Cool elegantly
stumbles uo to the door of Sue Sly,
the handsome couple embarks on the
supposedly most memorable night in
their liveX-' Sue has a gorgeous pink
crepe dress with a large "red" cor-
sage.($5.00). Too bad Joe Cool Is sc
forgetful about colors. . -•;
Dinner is first on the agenda of
the evening. Sue Sly and Joe Coo!,
believing in the waiter's good advice,
order the restaurant's specialty. The
end result of this bravery is an emp-
ty stomach and a huge "doggie 'bag"."
Although Joe and Sue leave starv-
ing, the owner is now $15.09 richer.
ON TO THE highlight of the
evening—the Prom. The HiltonHo-,
tel is .fitted with hundreds of long for-
mats and tuxedos. The room is so
hot and crowded, it's toe hard to

Crew Was Once Prominent
S. F. High School Sport
By DAVE MILANESI
IT'S BEEN" a Umg lime since crows wearing the Red and
White *>f Lowell have been seen on the Bay—22 year.; to he more
specific.
According to Mr. Xorval FaM. currenily a history teacher
here and coach of the Lowell crews from 1937-1940, crew is one
of the best ;>j»oi—is for developing a boy to his full physical potential.
"I had thin boys at ihe beginning of the season. includir.jLj a
number of aspiring foth.;l! players who were just too weak to
make the stjuarf. but by the end of the season these boys had developed
themselves to the point where they omlcl play any sport."
CREW GOT its start in San Francisco during the early 70s.
All the city schools participated, and by the time the Army confiscated
the cutters in 1943 there were about 20 boats in use.
The routine of a crew member was grueling 1 !i,|.
The star of the whole show for
Lowell turned out to be one of the
school's smallest mermen, 120 Rod
dy Rodriguez. Roddy took first's ^
the 50-yard butterfly and the 50
breaststroke to become the only double
winner for Lowell. He had a rime
of :32.6 in the finals of the breaststroke
after establishing a new- city
record of :32.5 during the trial?.

On Thursday, June 17, 1965, 60S
Lowell high seniors, dressed in navy-
Muc and white caps and gowns, will
take their designated places on the
stage of the Civic Auditorium.
Unlike previous senior classes, the
graduates of the spring class of 1965,
will hold their graduation at the
Civic Auditorium ^because of the
large number graduating.
The commencement exercises will
licgtn at 3 p.m., with various speeches
including the salutatory and the valedictorian
addresses.
Following ihis, the students of the
class of '65 will receive their diplomas.
Then the newly graduated seniors
will stand and sing for the last time
the Lowell Hymn.
Mew Harmony Course
Only one new course is scheduled
at Lowell for next term. This course
will he Harmony, and is to be taught
by Mr. O. Dale Blackburn.
Mr. Blackburn, who teaches history,
advanced choir, advanced girls'
give, beginning chorus, and music
appreciation (a one-term course),
states that the new course will be a
humanities course and that the students
will study "the basic elements
of the theory of music."
The students will study harmonic
structure and elements necessary for
composing, although no original
composing will be done.

On Weekends
TfyouVc ever m a plane wreck
and lost in the deepest >ihrt of
the jungle—don't worry about
it Because in all probability
Mrs.Jeanette Adams, girls' P.E.
teacher, will come to the rescue.
Just in case some of you are
still in the dark, Mrs. Adams is
in the Civil Air Patrol. This
organization is an auxiliary of
the Air Force and its purpose
is to search for and rescue lost
or wrecked planes.
The patrol is a national organization
controlled by the Federal Aviation
Agency (FAA). and also has
a cadet group which is composed of
teenagers. "Its organization is similar
to the Air Force and we hold
rank just as they do in the Air
Force," said Mrs. Adorns. Mrs.
Adams is a first lieutenant.
IN ORDER TO GET in the Civil
Air Patrol you must have so many
hours. You must also take duals
cross country (up to 100 miles)which
sometimes takes several months to
a year. "After you dual, you then
take a solo without the instructor/ 1
declared Mrs. Adams.
To obtain a private license one
must take a four-hour written exam
and for a commercial license a five-
Jiour written exam. Mrs. Adams flies
a C-45 which weighs approximately
.,8,154 lbs.
WHEN ASKED WHAT single
experience she would always remember,
Mrs. Adams almost heartbrokenly
related this story: "Some,
people (who had been drinking quite
heavily) took off from Reno and
their plane wasn't heard from for
quite a while, so search groups were
called out. On the last day of the
search my squadron was called out.
We found the plane wrecked and
the people inside dead. One man had
apparently crawled out of the plane
and was found under one of the
wings. If we had been called in earlier
we might have saved his life."

Lots of Grads
The 1965 Lowell High School
graduating class is the largest
m the history of the 109 year
old institution. 608 students
will receive their diplomas this
June compared to the 11
earned by the first graduating
class in 1859. /
The centennial yearbook reveals
that each graduating
class increased in number until
1935 when 361 graduated. Ten
years later, the size of the class
had diminished to 309 and had
continued shrinking until in
1955 only 300 received diplomas
from Lowell.
After 1955, and up to the
present class, the numbers
have steadily increased and

Promising Season Ahead
For Lowell Grid Fans
By MIKE CRONK
THE FALL FOOTBALL season should prove to be the most
unique and exciting one in Lowell's history.
For the first time, AAA varsity football will be play*,! on
campus at Lowell. St. Ignatius, Poly, Mission, Wilson., and Washington
roundVnt the opponents that the Indians will battle en our
newly instituted gridiron. Bleachers will go up at the site of the
present football field during the summer and a practice field will
be in use by next fall to prevent the actual playing urea from
being mutilated. ;';
THE CONSENSUS of opinion at Lowell is that the shifting
of varsity games to the campus is an excellent idea, if the facilities
prove adequate. It is felt that since games will be played in
our own backyard, more people will attend, because they will
suffer no inconvenience in transportation. Next term's student
body will be the largest in the school's history, and there is good
reason to assume that the attendance at games will be greater than
at any previous time.
The spirit should be far greater next season than ever before.
This is not to say Lowell's school spirit is poor; in fact, Lowell's
rooting section last season was one of the best in the city, according
to many students from other San Francisco high schools. With
more attendance, spirit should soar even higher.
COACH BOB BRAUNREITER, who feels Lowell has a good
chance to make the playoffs, agrees that there will be more spirit
and attendance. He told us the reason varsity games have been
moved to high school campuses is to relieve congestion at Kezar
Stadium and to minimize the chances of fights breaking out at
games.
Every°ne is looking forward to next"Reason, especially the
football players.They like the campus game itfca for the above reasons-and
also for the fact that they will have the definite advantage
of playing on their own territory.: Someone said that there
is something "in the air" that produces excitement when football
season rolls around, and the season of '65 should be the most
exciting.
Cards to Play on Own Field This Year
Lowell football fans will ic
able to watch five of the Cards'
games right on campus come

Track Team Produces
Many Individual Stars
This term's track team produced
some exceptionally good
athletes, among them, Jim Bcrgcr,
who ran the two mile in
10:15.3 minutes; Ralph Mahler,
who ran the 660 in 1:25.4 for
the 130's city record, and Marcellino
Castillo, who completed
the 70-yard high-hurdles in 9.4
seconds.
Coach Barney Wolf chose the following
athletes as having the greatest
potential in their event: Tony
Tuitcle, an outstanding shot putter
who placed first in the city; Mike
Carter, the hest high jumper; Scott
Heyman. who had the best form for
the broad jump; and Roy Skinner,
Lowell's best pole vaultcr.
Other prominent track stars arc
Bob Aanestnad, Ralph Zak, Dale
Sutton, Steve Leonard, Wayne Miller,
August Berry, Mike Gobcau, Bill
McQuad, and Jack Schnell. James
Wong is one of the fastest runners
this term.
The Indians placed second to last

Mr. Milton Axt
Mr. Milton Axt. another new faculty
member, taught two years at
El Camino High School :n South
San Fraiv-isco, before coming to
Lowell to teach physical education.
Mr. Axt, a graduate of the University
of California in Berkeley
was surprisingly not a physical education
major. Although he h;.s an expanded
interest in athletics, Mr.
Axt's major was history.
Mr. Axt, whose father is a renowned
football coach at Poly, is a
Lowell graduate. As a student here,
Mr. Axt was on the basketball team

Mr. Axt added that while attending

'Getting to Know You'
Sets Pace for PTA -
Lowell's Parent-Teachers Association
got off to an auspicious start
for the fall 1965 term by sponsoring
a "Getting to.Know You" day last
Saturday on the school campus.
All students new.to Lowell were
invited to attend * the program with
their parents. TJie day featured a
morning football -game m the new
stadium (Lowell vs. Wilson soph
team game), a nocn chicken barbecue
served by PTA members in
the cafeteria, a tour of the school
conducted, by student leaders and
faculty, an orientation to Lowell in
the auditorium by Principal J. A.
Perino, and informal meetings between
teachers,, administrators, and
parents.
With over 800 new students at
Lowell this term, the ETA felt a
need to introduce the new students
and their parents to "the school in
an informal and friendly fashion.
Traditional Clash
May Be Televised
As rumor has it, things may
be swinging come November
12. If Principal J. A. Perhn
and the Executive Board approve,
the traditional Lowel!-
Poly footbaii game set for that
date will be televised on KGO.
Debbie Sacks, S.A. recording
secretary, appears to be
the .person who came up with
the idea of making this foothall
game unique. She would
like to re-create the spirit and
excitement which character-O
wed the clashes between arch ]
rivals Poly and Lowell only
25 years ago when crowds of
over 45,000 attended the \
Thanksgiving Day games at «
Kezar.
Hopefully, Lowell's alumni,
including Broadway star Carol
Channing, will cooperate to
make thisyear's football classic
ohe,;bf the most "memorable
events in Lowell's 109 year
history. For more details, read
the next issue of The Lowell.

Richard J. Guenthcr and David R.

of the Army.

discover that things have changed traffic-wise on campus a?;fail term opens.
Off Campus Parking
Annoys Neighbors
A persistent and annoying problem that has hounded Lou-ell
High School ever since the Eucalyptus Drive campus opened
three years ago has once again come to the fore—the problem of
off-campus parking of cars.
Complaints from neighboring residents have been a constant
source of irritation for the main office. Letters and phone calls
about crowded streets, inaccessibility of parking spaces, and the
ignoiing of speci) limits have been received regularly by Principal
J. A. Perino.
•Center of the controversy would
seem to be the filling of residential
parking spaces with student cars, inconveniencing
neighbors who cannot
.part in front of their own homes
during the day.
As recently as June 24, 1965. the
Lake Merced Independent carried a
front page article which described
the parking problem as an "unnecessary
nuisance." It also stated that
a check showed there is ample parking
space in the student parking lot
which goes unused.
HOMEOWNERS along Eucalyptus
Drive and the adjacent streets
have complained the loudes*. The
residents maintain that students are
not utilizing all of the on-campus
parking lot facilities which they feel
would relieve street parking congestion.
,. •'• '
One of the local homeowners asso-'
ciatious has suggested that the en-:
tire area around Xowell be zoned
for one-hour parking. Another suggestion
is to close Eucalyptus Drive
to parking from 6 to 9 a.m. Both of
these suggestions would require action
by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Harry Krytzer, dean of boys,
has reported that state regulatioos
require that all students who drive
cars to school must register the vehicles
in his office.
THE CITY Board of Education
has ruled that all Lowell students
who drive vehicles to school must
park them in the school parking lot.
Students who fail to register cars
and who fail to park in designated
places are violating school regulations
and are subject to disciplinary
action.
Mr. Krytzer has been conducting
daily patrols of the area in the morning
to check on parking violators.
Because the area is so expansive, he
is unable to canvass it completely
every day.
While discussing the parking problem,
Mr. Krytzer also commented
on the need for Lowell drivers to
review driving regulations and safety
precautions because of .the new
traffic signs installed on campus during
the summer.
HE REMINDS students that no
unnecessary use of automobiles during
school hours is permitted. Sitting
in parked cars while school is
in session is also taboo. Access to
the student parking lot is from Winston
Drive only. The exit is at the
opposite end into Lake Merced Boulevard.
The Eucalyptus Drive entrance
is not to be used by students
at any tim*.
New signs have been posted designating
exits and entrances. Speed
limits and one-way roads have been
clearly marked for safety reasons.
"If students do not follow signs,
they are not good drivers and do not
deserve to own a license," stated Mr.
Krytzer. A number of accidents occurred
last term because of the failure
of some students to heed the
correct traffic procedures on campus.
BECAUSE of the close proximity
of Lakeshore Elementary School,
drivers must be extra cautious. Mr.
Krytzer suggests that Lowell drivers
stay off Eucalyptus Drive completely
end go out Ocean Avenue instead.
Mr. Krytzer feels that the current
parking hassle can be alleviated by
educating Lowell students ?o the
problems that exist Those students
who fail io abide by school regulations
trill have to be dealt with individually
with the possibility of having
ther driving privileges revoked.
He feels that Lowell students are
sensitive to community problems and
are capable of remedying the situation
when aware of the factors involved.

THE LOWELL
Interview with Mr. Perino
m.
£-
i^f*- -V?
New Administrative Policies Revealed
Many misconceptions defil-
ing the air at Lowell may be
cleared away this semester. In
an interview with Principal J.
A. Perino, it was disclosed that
last semester's clouded student-
faculty relations will be im-
proved with the trial of new
administrative policies.
StudentGovernrnent
"Because of the need of a direct
communication with the students by
the administration, I woi:Id like to
have a Principal's Cabinet," said Mr.
Perino. "The idea of the cabinet is to
have the registry representatives act
as an advisory body to the principal
and also as a direct contact with the
administration, which has been lack-
ing to date."
The cabinet idea will seek to alle-
viate misunderstanding of basic is-
sues. "By the time a story goes
around the school, it's bound to get
distorted/' Mr. Perino added.
"The principal's cabinet has been
used at Washington for years, and it
seems to be very successful. It's time
the administration had more direct
contact with the students."
The plan will soon be discussed
with the Executive Board.
Mr. Perino accentuated the neces-
sity of a larger role of student gov-
ernment, and also the assumption of
a greater degree of responsibility.
He pointed out that although stu-;
dents are ambitious and capable, per-
mission must be obtained frcca the
student body advisor, Mr. Graham
Knox.
"Some cases must be denied be-
cause students have no conception
of the possibility that they might not
succeed, nor of the implications they
might incur." He cited as an ex-
ample the S50 expenditure for last
term's totem pole project "Where
is the totem pole now?" was the
question.

Editorial;
Vandalism Mars Unfinished Stadium
At our first football game against George Washington High
School in our new bleachers, several "students** from local high
schools other than Lowell and Washington were found carving
names and various other markings in the unvarnished bleachers.
This damage is permanent and will mar the attractiveness and
pride that we hold in our own stadium.
In order to maintain the present good condition of our bleach-
ers, we, the students of Lowell High School, must take it upon
ourselves, if circumstances as such arise again, to notify an3"one
close at hand at future games. The administration, members of
the Shield and Scroll, or Student Association officers, will help
remedy the situation.
Editorial;
Controversies Expose Communications Gap
Last semester Lowell High School seethed with the same
revolutionary spirit which has been sweeping campuses through-
out the nation. This tide of student disapproval has been marked
by dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire for immediate
change. ;-
As the Spring 1965 term progressed the Lowell student body
-.'was-faced with a series of "controversies" which focused atten-
tion on the student's position in the high school. These "contro-
versies" occurring at a school noted for liberality of thought and
action quickly caught the interest of San Francisco's major news-
papers. Within a period of three months, Lowell was given front
page coverage'On more than a dozen occasions.
Some of the outside publicity aided in getting what the stu-
dent body wanted, yet most of the coverage was negative and
gave the school's image a black eye. It showed that we weren't
solving our own problems.
These problems arose from a breakdown of communications be-:
tween the student body and the administration. Students little
understood the difficulties of running an institution of nearly
3,000 individuals. The administration did not seem to compre-
hend that, today's youth has changed. He no longer passively
accepts his elders' "decisions;" instead, he questions them and
forms his own Opinions on any and all subjects. c
Because today's teenager has definite opinions and because;
a lack of communication has existed, The Lowell will begin
publishing letters to the editor in the next issue. They may
be on any topic, the only qualification being that they are logical,
coherent, and reasonably concise. All letters must be signed in
order to be published.
If, in the future, you are happy or unhappy with a situation at
Lowell cr like or dislike the shape thr^ world is in, air your views.
The journalism office in room 131 will accept all letters to the
editor.

term for channeling petitions is too
cumbersome. A similar way has to
be found.
"A certain form must be followed.
Maverick petitions should not be
circulated because usually the facts
are not logically or correctly stated,
the issues are not dear, and students
are easily swayed to sign something
incorrect.
"The people concerned must be
willing to take the time to clarify the
issues and sort the facts from the
fiction first. People unwilling to do
this seem to enjoy agitating; it's al-
mopt a bit of sadism—enjoying sec-
"ng the reputation of a school, insti-
tution, or person vilified."
Mr. Perino continued to lay out
the procedure. Students with a griev-
ance should contact their immediate
dean. If 110 satisfaction can be had
with the dean, the next person to
consult woulU be the principal. If
the matter is not settled satisfac-
torily then, the student should re-
quest the Executive Board make an
inquiry and a recommendation to
the principal.
Publications
In light of last semester's con-
troversy over The Activist Opinion,
it is now recommended that there be
more availability of the high school
press.
"There should be a place in The
Lowell for written expression of
issues or grievances—national, in-
ternational, and local. Much money
is spent on the newspaper, so it
should accomplish its original func-
tion: to ocprcss student views/' Mr.
Perino states.
Certain regulations would be es-
tablished by an impartial Board of
Publications, representing the views
of all Lowell factions. It would con-
sist of a teacher, an administrator,
the editor of The Lowell, and the
student body president Subject mat-
ter would oe unlimited, except if of
an inflammatory or libelous nature.
Student submissions will b« han-
dled as letters to the editor. A sec-
tion of The Lowell will be set aside
each issue for this purpose.

been a nightmare—finally became a reality.
Yes, September 8 had arrived and 2,/00 Lowell students head-
ed back to school for another six months of blood, sweat, and
tears.
The day started out normally enough—or at least as normal
as any. other first, day of school could possibly be. That is—public
busses were once more carrying' twice as many as their usual
capacity, and deserted street comers (a popular spot in which to
meet one's friends in the morning) once more began humming

Succumbs, 19-6
"All the way, T-owcH/ 1 is the
early season cry on the Eucalyptus
Privc campus as the Lowell Indians
begin the 1965 AAA season with
two victories. The defending AAA
champs, Washington High, and a
strong Wilson team were mowed
down by the powerful Ttibc in successive
weeks.
Before a standing room only
crowd, Lowell showed a strong defense
in disposing of the once-powerful
Eagles in the first game in the
new stadium. The Indians wasted no
time in getting on the Scoreboard
when John Gianaras hit Mike Cronk
with a 9-yard touchdown pass to
score a quick six points.
Fred Col cm an and Leif Viltbald
each scored a touchdown, and the
Eagles found themselves behind 20-
0 in ihe fourth quarter. In the closing
minutes of the game, the Eagle
eleven pushed over the goal line for
their only tally of the day. The
final score: Lowell 20, Washington 7.
The Lowell-Wilson game one
week later was a different story. The
Warriors managed to put the ball
inside the Lowell 30-yard line six
times, but penalties, fumbles, and
pass interceptions prevented them
from hitting paydirt.
At halftimc Lowell led 6-0 resulting
from a 72-yard fumble recovery
by Lowell defensive halfback Mike
Carter.
TJie Indians were unable to sustain
the touchdown drive thc;r offense
had the week before. In the
third quarter, 'Lowell recovered a
fumble on the Wilson24 and marched
76 yards in six plays for the score.
With less than two minutes to
go, Rich Easton plowed over for
the final tally of the game. The Warriors
scored in the third quarter v;ith
an 82-yard kick-off return.

High Senior Nancy Luscia Reigns
As Lowell Football Queen at Bal Game
High senior Nancy Luscia
was crowned "Football Queen"
of Lowell at the recent £ame between
Lowell and Balboa.
Roth schools, as has been the tradition,
chose a queen. Balboa's reigning
representative was Pat Rollins.
THE QUEEN rf Lowell was
chosen as a result of three votings.
First, each registry nominated a candidate.
From these, each class voted
f*n its own candidate. The last step
was choosing a queen from the six
finalists.
The crowning of the queens was
the main evpnt in the half-time ac-
THE
FRANCISCO'S OLDEST
tivities. Nancy was crowned by Mart
Stein, Lowell president, then whisked
away in a red convertible to the Balboa
stands. Here she was presented
two dozen red roses by Rich Volpc,
student body president.
NANCY, who * ms a runner-up in
last year's contest, reigned over
"Touchdown a Go-Go/' the school
dance which was held that evening
at Lowell.
The runners-no, who received corsages
of carnations were: low senior
Lyla Orlando, high junior Karen
Mickclson, low junior Kathy-:Mc-
Bridc.high sophomore Marlene Cain,
and low sophomore Barbara Johnston.

'Lowell 1 Sets Down Policy
The Lowell is the official student newspaper of Lowell High School.
Its purpose is tc inform the student body of the achievements, accomplishments,
and newsworthy events affecting members of the student
.body as space will allow.
The newspaper is written and published by members of the Journalism
2 class.
Non-staff contributions arc accepted in the form jf "Letters to the
Editor."
Non-staff members are encouraged to submit opinions, suggestions,
and questions in writing to the journalism office; all must be signed.
Such material must reflect the sincerity of the writer, must be
factual and concise, and must not be derogatory or vicious in tone.
Letters will be read and approved for publication by the editors.
In cases where the editors disagree as to the suitability of a letter,
a Board of Publications, consisting of an administrator, a teacher, the
student body president, and the editor-in-chief, will determine its appropriateness.
It is the policy of The Lowell not to publish malicious gossip, or
material reflecting on an individual's ethnic or rclgious background.
Staff members are not to utlizc space in the paper to carry out personal
attacks on individuals; rather, they arc to discuss and criticize
the issues at hand.
The Lowell is written by Lowell students for Lowell students; it is
the g-oa! of the staff members to make it the best newspaper they can. i

Studies show that about half of the

NAMES of the Merit Scholars

High school grades, jcreative accomplishments,
leadership qualities,

citizenship of the stv.dents are evaluated,

Merit Scholars. Winners of sponsored
awards also meet sponsor criteria.
EACH MERIT Scholarship is a
four-year award covering the undergraduate
college years. The winner's
stipend is tailored to his needs, up
to a maximum of $6,000 for the four

The Sweetest SoundsYou'liHear...'
Recording star, John Gary, lakes time out between shows for an interview with Lowell reporters.
The sweetest sounds you'll ever
bear ..." come from the lips of John
Gary.
Gary, whose sound is sheer en-
joyment for his audience, has been
appearing at therhmigry i for a two-
week run. S ; x Lowell reporters had
the pleasure of catch."2 thc per-
formance one evening last week.
Elegant in a tailored black tuxedo
and diamond studs, thc handsome
headliner was as fascinating to look
at as to listen to. His flashing, boy-
ish smile maintained throughout the
show caused several middle-aged
ladies (and some younger) in the
audience to demonstrate audibly.
From the swinging "My Kind of
Girl" to the haunting "Unchained
Melody/" Gary held the audience in
?heyance with every sustained note
aiij easy crescendo.
His between-number adlibs were
sparkling and'witty. A rapport was
immediately established between en-
tertainer and audience when Gary
continually sang.to the same person,
provoking good-natured heckling
frora a back-row comedian.
Gary hac'llcd hecklers and inter-
ruptions with grace and professional
savoir faire, augmenting thc already
established ease and enjoyment on
the part of thc listeners.
Mr. Gary both sang and played
the guitar to accompany himself in
certain numbers.
He dosed the performance with a
rendition of "I Left My Heart in
San Francisco" and his own favorite
song. "BeautifuL"
Thc end of the performance was
hailed with such enthusi3.sm that he
came back to do a few morc num-
bers. The audience never t?red of
him and his repertoire seemed inex-
haustible.. /
Preceding Gary was comedian Flip
Wilson. Mr. Wilson's material is
vaguely reminiscent ot* Bill Cosby.
But, unlike Cosby, he has a slick and
"cool" delivery of his lines.
Starting the entire show off was.
Olga Sbrogia. Billed as an Italian
cabaret singer, she sang through a
half a dozen Italian songs that were
ali Greek to non-Italians. But Miss
Sbrogia has a deep, rich "Chicago"
voice that will go places.

The Interview
Over coffee and a cigarette, a
relaxed and casually attired
John Gary chatted with six re-
porters from The Lowell (Norm
Ronncbcrg, Bobbi Fizzimenti,
Fran Plescia, Mike Cronk, Ron/
Burk. and Sue Harris) in^.thV
lounge of the hungri i. - ""
Charming and amiable, Ga ry
talked and posed for pictures for
nearly half au hour. During this time
there was only ciie Interruption: a
.d»?rowd fan wondered if "John
dear" would oblige her with a few
autographs.
TWENTY autographs later . . .
Thc first major question was posed:
"What do you think of people who
don't know you personally, yet ad-
dress you as 'John'? 1 '
Mr. Gary replied, "It's natural for
an audience after seeing you to call
you by your first name. They feel
that they know you. It doesn't both-
er me"
Thc conversation rambled in sev-
eral directions. Mr. Gary had a lot
to say about his fans:
"MY FANS art very dovoted. -If
they have one of my albums they
usually have them all, I've noticed.
Right now my last album is out-sell- :
ing Sinatra's latest."
"Are you returning to San Fran-
cisco soon, Mr. Gary?"
"Yes. I'm coming i>ack later this
year for an appearance at the Fair-
mont's Venetian RootnTand I expect
to be back at thc i sometime next
year." ' -
Word was brought to Mr. Gary
that Gordon McLendon, the multi-
millionaire owner of radio station
KARL was waiting to speak to him.
We had one last question, though:
"How long have you been singi.ig?"
•'Oh, about 26 years," was thc an-
swer.
"My God" breathed one incred-
ulous interviewer, "I didn't think
you were that old!"
"I love you!" was-Mr.'Gary's re-
tort.
Before taking leave, he found time
to compose a letter to be read at the
next day's rally, and sign a cot'pie of
autographs for six not-so-untypical
fans.

Student Government—Help or Hindrance?
Due to a number of contentious issues that occurred last sem-
ester concerning Lowell High School, a number of situations
developed which seemed to pit students, faculty, and adminis-
tration against each other.
Statements were made, opinions were aired and accusations
were leveled. The ccnicr of a number of the problems revolved
around the fact that many students were realizing for the first
time that student government was controlled \>y faculty and ad-
ministration. They found this a bitter pill to swallow and verbally
began to s* -'Ice out against censorship and control. But has this
situation ever been any other way?
It is this writer's contention that student government has
never been student government in the literal sense of the words.
The idea of student government without control from above may-
be a desired goal, but it simply doesn't happen.
This pro 1 'em is an extremely complicated one involving mat-
ters of student responsibility, maturity of individuals to govern
themselves, and the real problem of legal responsibility and school
district policy in the a> of student control.
Somewhere along the line students are handed the illusion
that student government is autonomous. In the cold, cruel world
of reality, they find it is not. Perhaps the rumblings and grum-
blings might well be averted if student government could be ex-
plained to all students for what it is—a channel of communica-
tion between administration and students; a method of imple-
menting school activities and the school program; a way of let-
ting students carry out the pre-determined goals.
As much as teenagers may hate to admit it, faculty and ad-
ministration have the experience which enables them to advise
and direct young people. Adults have lenrned the need for law
and order. Sometimes they are over-protective in trying to keep
the students from making mistakes; sometimes they are pain-
fully slow to recognize and accept change.
The question many high school students need to ask them-
selves is "Hovi capable are we to fully govern ourselves?" This is
a difficult question to answer in a positive way.
We can look at the adult world anrt ask the same question - . .
and adults have the valuable assist of experience!
To students who benioan lost privileges, loss of student
government, and loss of individual freedom, we say . . . you're
crying about something you rever had.
Lowell Seniors--Weep No More!
Are you a senior who is tired
of sitting on the hard gym floor
during rallies? Are you embit-
tered by seeing juniors and
sophomores sit in the bleachers
which are reserved for you? '
A plan has been devised which will
guarantee you a scat in the bleach-
ers. There is just one catch:.buy a
student body card. Better yet, buy
a "senior* student body card. 7
This year for the first time seniors
have special student body cards. These
cards will enable an alert member of
thc Shield and Scroll to identify seniors
at a glance.
How?
These senior student body cards
are printed on blue instead of a
white background. Otherwise they,
arc the same and will enable senior*
to enjoy the many benefits which
are granted to all cardholders.
Perhaps you seniors remember
when, you were sophs and Juniors.
What happened to you when you sat
in the senior bleachers? Sometimes
you got away with it. Other times
though, you may have been embar-
rassed by being ejected. But" now
the ejection procedures have been
revised.
Gerald Buchwald, high senior class
president, explained thc new proced-
ures. From now on when a violater
is caught sitting in thc bleachers he
will be hauled to the dean's office.

Varsity Football Not
The Only Sport at Lowell
By MIKE CRONK
As the eyej of the school are focused on the varstiy football team when
they battle on the gridiivn, ? fpel i*. is only proper to mention the other teams
that represent Lowell ?o well.
In fact, I dedicate my column to those hard-working teams who arc very
rarely in the spotlight.
Although the JAVs arc off to a rather slow start this season, do not forget
that they- brought us a city championship last year!
And spea.Icing of good teams, take a lock at our current crop of sophomore
grMdeys. Under new coach Mr. Ed Burns, the team has rolled over
its first three foe.-, Wilson. Hal, and Lincoln. They've* scored 90 points to
the opposition's 13. WOW!!
Xow everyone knows of the efforts of our fine soccer team. I received
a letter horn the Soccer Society concerning the amount of news coverage
they received in the first edition of the paper. Remedied. (Note large news
story on this page.VHow'd the first three games turn oiu, \€\
in my opinion, the sport that takes the most intestinal fortitude is not
football as otic might think, but cross country. It hurts to run. So when you
travel to you r parked cars m-ar Lake Merced, pay homage to the guys running
across ??ic way. It's not easy!
The light-weight basketball teams under the coaching of Mr. Stan Stewart,
should tlo very well in their respective leagues this season. Tl'e big: factor
is, of course, Mr. Stewart. He is a fine basketball coach who : ms to get
every ounce of determination and drive fr.iru the personnel available. Who
can forget the nne performance turned in by our basketball team last year??
Question, of the Day—Arc Jim Holmberg's All-City chances jeopardized
because more goals were scored against him in one game this season than
went by him all last year?? —

MR. WOLF feels that "if Ralpft
Mahler is back in shape in timi,
Lowell \v\ x \ probably have the necessary

The coach also added .that presently

with Poly second, and Lowell third.
He hopes however, ;hnt Lowell will
come in first in spite, of the ratings.

'Varieties' Nears Opening Night
"The talent at Lowell is so great
you can't imagine how hard it was
to crhnost! who would and wouldn't
perform in the Varieties," declared
Mrs. Shirley McClung..
Mrs. McChmg, the director of this
semester's Variety Show, A Broadway
Review, is referring to the
enormous turnout for the show auditions.
Over 150 students arc participating
Honor Roll tallied
A SPOT CHF.CK on recent report
card grades reveals that approximately
Si per cent of the Lowell
student body has qualified for
Honor Roll distinction.
The high senior class paced the
competition with 42 per rent qualifying
for grade honors. Registry 70
of this senior group displayed the
enviable record of having S16 per cent
of its members on Honor Roll.
The high jun : ->r class and low senior
class had about the jiamc percentage
making the distinction,about
35 per c*nt.
The low junior class ted the lever
division with 31 per cent, The high
sophomore class bested the low
sophomo.c class by some four percentage
pGints, 28 per cent to 24
per cent.
If any conclusion can bc drawn
from these figures it might well be
that the longer one stays at Lowell,
the better are hi hanccs for making

Chairman, Homeconytng Committee
New Library-Theater Complex
Envisioned in Lowell's Future
By DOROTHY McDONALD
A ground swell for plans aimed at improving: facilities on the
current Lowell campus is beginning to gain interest and momentum.
Mr. Norval C. Fast, Lowell history instructor, introduced a
suggestion to the Faculty Council last spring which called for
utilization of the property adjacent to the school at the east end
of the campus. Among Mr. Fast's suggestions were projected
plans for a new library-little theater —
complex in that area. The Faculty
Council studied the suggestion and
called for the formation of a committee
to draw up a list of land-use possibilities.
A letter outlining the committee's
recommendations was approved by
the Faculty Council and forwarded
to Dr. Harold Spears, superintendent
of schools. The letter is currently
under study.
FOREMOST among the suggestions
is the creation of a new library
and little theater. It is felt that current
library facilities do allow
for needed expansion. The present
library location subjects students
who use it to continual noise and distraction
from the inner court. A
place of undisturbed study away
from the activity of the main building
is needed at Lowell.
A little theater urould provide the
school and the surrounding neighborhood
with a suitable meeting place
for groups of 300 to 400. Such groups
as the Lakeshorc-Westlake Improvement
Associations, the Parent-Teachers
Association, and Lowell's performing
arts groups would have adoqtmtc
quarters in which to meet and
perform.
Mr. Fast envisions something in
the nature of a ten-year plan ivhicli
would make Lowell the finest high
school campus in the State of California.
The emphasis is on making
Lowell an asset to and for the surrounding
community.
As a community-service center,
the Lowell campus would provide
the area, the PTA, and the school
with facilities woefully lacking. The
new library would provide more
room for an ever-increasing school
service and would provide a place
for quiet study.
Board of Education
Foots Bill for H-12's
The return of a Lowell tradition
will bc initiated by the
High Senior Class.
This year the fall ^raduaiion wit!
bc helc off-campus fo»* the first time
in four years. Prior to this time, it.
was impossible to be on campus since
the old LowclFdid not have an autfiioriutn.
Arrangements have bocn.tticde to
have the graduation exercises at the
Masonic Auditorium on California
Street. The m.vi advantages will b^
that seniors will receive at least eight
bids (instead of three or four) and
will bc comfortably seated in an
auditorium oi adequate size.
Class President Gerry Buchwald
"tatcd that this change in tradition
was "not easily come by." Discussions
with the administration were
necessary to obtain permission and
then questionnaires were distributed
to the class to see whether or not the
majority wanted it. Approximately
80 per cent voted to have it out of
school.
An agreement ..as reached thit
the class would pay for part of the
expenses and the Executi o Board
would finance the remainder. 1»»cause
Lowell was not the only school
unable to accommodate its fall graduates
the Board of Education decided
to pay the -expenses for both
Lowell and Galileo. Money was refunded
to all contributors.
Heading the graduation committee
are Alan Mcndclson and Adnenne
Agnost who have been organizing
and handling most of the business arrangements.

and have assumed a new niaturij,. Ironically enough, it is the
American adult who has come to best represent apathy. Consider
the recent municipal elections.
Although there are approximately ?o6.00Q persons eligible to
vote in San Francisco, only 342,000 of them deigned to register to
vote. Of these registered voters barely 213.000 individuals both-
ered to cast their ballots. This means that only about 39 per cent
of San Francisco's citizens cared enough about her future to go
to the polls.
According to Charles A. Rogers, registrar of voters, 'This
election was no better or worse than the municipal elections of
past years." The local elections seem to lack the color and excite-
ment of the state and national contests, so many persons avoid
them.
Yet. today San Francisco must look ahead to the future. She
is no longer the only city west of Chicago. Other urban areas are
competing for her industries and growth potential. San Francisco
must soon choose ne of two rolls. The city may retain its flavor
of the pa>t and decline the roie of a "super city" or decide on full
scale modernization at the risk of destroying her economically
necessary charm.
The momentous decision of directing San Francisco's future
lies in the hands of the city's voters. It only four out of every ten
eligible persons over 21 vote, a massive supply of idea? and opin-
ions is not being tapped.
In the future, we can only hope that the indifference surround-
ing municipal elections will diminish as a more enlightened popu-
lace realizes the necessity of good city planning and the useless-
ness of any election where the voice of the majority is no; heard.

City Entrance Exam—Depressing
Lowell high seniors spent a depressing Saturday, October 16.
engrossed in the City College Entrance Examination. Accord-
ing to Mr. Bill Richardson, a CCSF counselor. "The examination
was designed to secure an idea of the academic potential of new
students." The scores of these e>:ums will give the CCSF coun-
selors a criteria for programing these students.
Most educators feel that there are elements ^uch as a person's
mental attitude and testing environment, which may affect
the performance of a student on a test. On the day of the CCSF
exams at least these two elements were affected in a most nega-
tive way.

When gentlemen (or ether males)

feminine weakness bar'Rot to disap-

Sam and his compatriots have been

have permeated all fields and com-

halls, and even cover sports events
for the high school press.

Certainly this will not be accom-

that that special man of theirs can
help them overcome their stigma of
weakness and need not be led around

she can buy a police dog.

you arc in one her servant and her

Colorfully attired in striped shirts,

Turbulence at Hunters Point-
Could This Be Another Watts?
By DIANE BARROW
"Never say die!" These arc
the words a reporter should al-
wavs remember . . . especially
when he is interviewing 1 an
"anonymous" 0>y choice). Mu-
nicipal Railway public relations
man.
Students may recall the vicious
beating three Municipal Railway
driver* encountered while driving
the 51 Silver on the Earl and Kirk-
wood route.
Those who view these incidents
with a, "So what else is new" atti-
tude, should sit down and a^k,"\Vhat
causes tliesc outbreaks of violence?*'
: "Why is there hostility-.between
the Municipal Railway drivers on
the 31 line and the kids who live in
the Hunters Point area?" These "in-
cidents'* have become more than a
"passing" problem.
WHEN the Municipal Railway
threatened to tike the 51 Silver off
of its Earl and Kirk wood destina-
tion, they were obviously trying to
scare the Muni "attackers'* into giv-
ing up their "beatings" and be left
with no public transportation what-
soever. /
This was a threat, and that's al* it
was, because the Municipal Riihvay
has no authority to take a bus off
its line. This decision is delegated to
the Public Utilities Commi&son.
If the bus drivers who drive the 51
Silver arc anything like the public
relations man who was very uncn-
thusia-;tic about being interviewed,
we, the people, may have what we
call. *'big trouble" on our hands.
WHEN ASKED, "Why do the
Hunters Point kids give the bus
dnvtrs so nnich trouble?" the public
relations man who "demanded" to
remain anonymous said, " it's just
too much to go into fver the phone."
ThL reply was accepted in stride, -•
the following question was l!uu
asked, "Could you dh—vs? the iV-;-
ings of the bus drivers on this ronif
towards the kids in the Hunter;
Point area?" The "anonymous" pub-
lic relations man quickly retaliate!
by saying, "Xo."Does that answer
your question?*' and he very quickly
hung up.
This writer was forced to wnmli-r
why the PR man did not want i>
bring the subject into the open, in-
stead of "banging up" on every -:|na-
tion that is iwkr-d afcout it? A bcV-
of communication would seem I'
exist .between tl:e Muni and tlio
Hunters Point community.
The bus drivers go into this area
expecting trouble, and. the kids com-
ply by making it. It's this kind tf
feeling that causes a !ack of commu-
nication. Neither the Muni driver?
nor the young people in this aroa
have been able'to communicate, in
their minds, "It's impossible."
The Negroes in Hunters Point
take the attitude of "We didn't have
anything -when we were born, an«l
we never will." The Negroes m \hi*
"ghetto" are not satisfied with tlicir 1
conditions, but according to them.
"Tho'c'i nothing we can do a!»
it.'' I
MAYBE THIS could be the r«u-.
son why some have lashed oui
the Muni bus drivers; they want t
be recognized. They dn this, not for,
kicks alone, but maybe because they
think that someone sooner or to
will c?.re enough to come and
their everyday conditions and
somethlr.fr about it.
Could this be another Watts. I
Aittjeles? But then again what hap-
pened in Wat is couldn't possibly hap-
pen m any part of San Franciso
could it?
THE AFTER HOUR
A Delightful Place to Try
One of the joys of San Francisco
is that you can make use oi a«iy one
of numerobv foreign restaurants and
suddenly find yourself in another
world. Yamamoto's Sukiyakif a pic-
turcvt|iic Japanese restaurant, is such
a world.
Although Yamamoto's is not
placed on the map, it can be found
at California and Grant Avenue, just
one block from Historic Chinatown.
Here, a t>pical oriental atmos-
phere prevails with Japanese rocks
and garden fixtures adorning the
outside r »f t • restaurant and fragile
oriental rice paper serving as walls
and partitions.
The customer who conies to Ya-
mamoto's can definitely expect to
be exposed to a realistic Japanese
atmosphere. Shoes are removed be-

TRADITIONAL INDIAN-POLY AXE GAME AT LOWELL TODAY
TODAY WILL sec the 5>d annual prid contest
between the Lowell Indians and the Polytechnic Parrots,
as San Francisco's two oldest public schools meet
at the Tribe's new stadium at 3 p.m.
Th?s prep footb.il! classic which dates back to 1912
was for many years the biggest single sports event
played in the city. Crowds of 40,000 plus would pour
into Kczar Stadium on Thanksgiving Day to witness
the battle of tlic Red and White versus the Red and
Black.
THROUGH the years the games were preceded by
high-spirited prc-gamc rallies and car parades to Ke-
2ar Stadium. Card stunts provided half-time entertainment
and each school's band competed in the
battle of the fight songs. Yell leaders from both schools
created special yslls just for the "big game."

teams, alumni, faculty, and students of the sihools
turned out en masse to be part of the yearly traditional
battle.
YEARS PASSED and ihe rivalry spirit began to
diminish. For almost two decades the Pcly varsity
went undefeated in games with Lowell. Professional
football entered the Bay Area in a big wuy and pulled
fans au^y from the high school contests.
Though the excitement and interest in the Lowcll-
Poly game have ebbed, graduates of the 20's, 30*s, 40's,
and 50's maintain strong memories of the rivalry that
wan.
TODAY Lowell will attempt to rekindle some of
that lost spirit as the two teams clash. TJie cry of
Lowcllhcs is, "Let's br:iig the traditional axe trophy
back home."
Indians Romp
Mission uame
The Lowell Indians finally got
their offense in hish gear, and completely
annihilated the hapless Mission
Bears, 39-7, and the Lions of
Galileo, 43-7.
After Mission held Lowell scoreless
in the first quarter, Lowell bcgran
an offensive barrage which saw
Mie team sco-c 26 points in the second
quarter. Emptying the bench in
the second half, the Indians scored
13 more points, and were ahead by a
whopping 3*>-0 before Mission could
get on the Scoreboard just before the
final gun sounded.
The defense was good and the
scoring varied. Mike Cronk scored
twice, and Mike Carter, Ernie Li,
Ray Koch, and Reggie Browne
chipped in touchdowns to lead the
Tribe to its one-sided victory.
Players

JACK SCHNELL
In the Tribe's first loss of the
1965 season, two-year veteran Jack
SchncU claimed the "Player of the
Week" honors. Jack is a full-time
footballer who plays both offense
and defense i» most games. In the
Reservation's clash with Sacred
Heart, Jack played exceptionally
well, as he ha* done all season, thus
earning him the weekly award.
Jack is a low senior, and he believes
that his experience in high

a national magazine.
Titled "Dream and Lie /%V the nnrhymed poem with a long letter in
the October-December issue of ''American Dialog, 9 * a Sew York bimonthly.
The work deals with the wot in Vietnam and growing public awareness. Steve
took the title from a series of Picasso paintings, "The Dream and The Lie of
Franco" that exposed the horrors of the Spanish dictatorship. Steve wrote about
the war because, "I find my mind shaken by war. The best way to express my
horror is tttrough creative work."

Lowell Declared 'Crown' of System—1856
The year 1856 was a time of
Indian uprisings, the Vigilan-
tes, the Gold Rush. Amid these
scenes of turmoil and settle-
ment, the pioneers erected a
place of learning for their chil-
dren. August.of the year 1856
saw the founding of the first
high school west of St. Louis.
Known by various names, such
as Boys' High School and some-
times simply the High School,
it was later officially named
Lowell.
The San Francisco Evening Bulle-
tin stated on Friday, AxiRust 1. 1956:
"Hereafter, while the Primary, In-
termediate, and Grammar Schools
will continue to be for the benefit of
the younger children, there will be
one school established for the special
use of older scholars. Surely this ap-
portionment of the fund cannot be
complained of. The former division
of it has been unfair altogether, and
the establishment of a High School
is purely a matter of'* reform, and
should be looked at in that light."
; Known as the Union ..Grammar
School from 1S56, the students Jr.
attendance—35 boys and 45 girls—
-might possibly have been sons and
daughters of the 49'crs. By this time,
the flow of gold from the Mother
Lode Country had subsided some-
what, and the miners had begun to
settle down and raise families. In
fact, this was a period of a general
business depression, and the pre-
vious year San Francisco had wit-j
nessed the fall of mighty .banking"
houses. -
TtJs difficult to think of San Fran-
cisco as anything bui the modern
city of today. Yet the world's first
cable car wasn't to make its maiden
journey up the fabled hills until. 17
years after Lowell was founded.
The 1850's contained scenes of In-
dian uprising in Northern California
and in Oregon. '
In 1856 the Mexicans of Southern
California armed and organized
.themselves in opposition to autho-
rity after one of sheir number was
killtd by a deputy constable when
the .tatter, was executing an attach-
ment upon the Mexican's property.
In 1870 taxpayers were arguing as
to whether new pavements should be
wooden or cobble.
At a Board of Supervisor's meet-
ing on August 11, 1856, an order
•wa» made " . . . in relation to the
employment of two carts to remove
garbage from the streets. Mr. Cas-
tree said that he had been informed
that two cars would not be suffi-
cient." A booming metropolis.
The Golden Gate was no* officially
nar'ied until 30 years after the found-
ing of the Union Grammar School.
Times have certainly changed/The
oldest high school west of the Mis-
sissippi is now housed in one of cJic
newest buildings in San Francisco
and still it upholds the same high
standards it had, in the days the
Bulletin, d.iclared: "The High School
is the crown of the Public School
System in our city."

-Shindig'Slides Back
Down Charts—Why?
Why is Shindig, the once all-
time favorite, of many, riding
down, the charts of the televi-
sion ratings? •.•.,.
When this half-hour show made
its debut, hardly a conversation was
complete without a mention of Shin-
dig. It was so popular in fact that
the show was later extended to one
hour. The Righteous Brothers, Don-
na Loren, The Blossoms, The Well--
initons, and the , Shindig dancers
were among the entertainers viewed
by millions every Wednesday.
The new television season came
about and Shindig was divided into
Shindig I and Shindig II, half hour
shows on Thursdays and Saturdays.
From then, the ratings have Shindig
declining down the ladder of the
charts.
An imitation of Shindig was Hul-
labaloo. Then came Shivaree, Hol-
lywood-A-Go-Go, and Where the
Acton Is, all with the same theme
as Shindig. Any hour of the day the
Top 30 could v be heard in one of
these many shows.
Even Andy Williams and Dean
Martin have made it a must to in-
vite the Top 30 singers to be guests.
Shindig and Hullabaloo are among
the noisiest shows on the air. The
music is loud, and the audience
screams louder. The singers sing
even louder to be heard over the
screaming audiences.
ShindiRgers will miss this hour of
noise when it is taken off the air in
January. Will Hullabaloo be next?
Maybe the saturation point has been
reached.

of the Young Americans for Freedom,) r r 7
By DAVE GABRIEL
In the fall of 1960. a group of young men and women met at
ihe Sharon, Connecticut home of journalist William Buckicv.
fcu-li had a common goal, namely that of preserving a balance!
jfrceilom by a government of just law and the extension of free-
Llnm abroad. These young people, united in their common cause-
Ik-camc the Young Americans for Freedom. The credo adopted
at this meeting, called the Sharon Statement, became a guideline
jaiid summary of the principles of the organization. The following
arc some excerpts from the 13 paragraph statement, which, iii
m;my ways parallels the American Constitution.
"/// this time of moral and political crisis, it is the responsibility
lof the youth of America to affirm certain eteriial truths. * :
We as young conservativest believe:
That foremost among the trancedent values is the individual's use
\of his God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the
^restrictions of arbitrary force; '.
That the purposes of government are to protect these freedoms
Itbrottgb the preservation of internal order, the provision of national
\defense, and the administration of justice. -••'•'
That when government ventures beyond these rightful functions.
\it accumulates power which tends to diminish order and liberty;
That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement

yet devised for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while
restraining it from the concentration and abuse of power;
That we will be free only so long as the national sovereignty of
the bmted States is secure.
That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the
greatest single threat to these liberties/'
While strongly conservative, YAF's credo is broad enough to
encompass young people of both parties, and of varying philosophical
emphases.
Since the founding meeting, the organization has grown from
a handful to at least 35,000 members on college campuses and
communities throughout the nation.
VAF members are working now on nil levels of political endeavor
for conservative candidates. Each chapter functions independently
and is compos*! of members v;i;h varying political
philosophies. Chapters in the Bay Area recently passed motions
condemning the right-wing John Birch Society.
Young Americans for Freedom first proved itself as an effective
and responsible pressure group when it forced the Firestone
Rubber Company to break off plans for the construction of a
factory in Communist Rumania.
In the final analysis, the responsible conservatism which is
supposed to have died along with the late Senator Taft in 1954
has become reincarnated in I960. According to San Francisco College
student, Harvey Hukari, "If the liberals of 1960 knew that
Lyndon Johnson and Barry Gold water would be the Presidential
candidates in 1964. they would have walked into the ocean and
drowned."

than the number of wins is
the way in which they were achieved.
The sophs no; onlyscorcd 194 points,

scored upon by just two teams, and
easily beat both.
Coach Burns feels he had a "good

many members of his team will be

Coach Burns was especially proud
of his line, comprised of Bill Davis,
Gary Ham, Tom Boycl, Bill Friedman,

In a thrilling triple-overtime battle
with the Mission Hears, Lowell's
120 .basketball team lost to the undefeated
Mission five. In the last
three minute period the Bears pulled
out to win the game 31-24. This
heartbreaker, forced the Indians to
second place. Had the Redskins won
this game they would have finished
in a tie with Mission, both with 8-1
records (Lowell sustained oneother
loss against Wilson 41-39). :
Lack of experience was a major
factor for the Injuns this year. The
team was composed wholely cf juniors
and sophomores as opposed to
squads such as Mission who "had
many seniors composing their starting,
five. v
Two of the outftunding- .ballplayers
this season were Danny Armenta
whose assists on many key plays
proved a decisive advantage, and Jim

This was the sentiment felt by
n:£st everyone involved with footnail
-ifter the heartbreaking loss to
.Lincoln, 13-0, on Thanksgiving P*y.
The Indians eruered the game as
one touchdown underdogs and intended:
to prove the critics wrong.

Tribe with great defensive work and
moving the ball fairly well on offense.

to remain alive, but with 23

pass and one. play later, put the game

Anino Accents Fun
Know what the purpose of the intramural
sports is? "The purpose of
tl- intramural games is to have fun,' 1
says Mr, Anino, the man In charge.
This term's intramural sports consist
of tennis, table tennis \ind
bowling. "AH games are held after
school."
"Participation in the games is oi
a voluntary basis and is, for the most
P^irt, individual," mentioned Mr. Anino.
However, teams can be formed..
As far as awards go, the individualwho
takes first place in tach event
if awarded a medal. Second and third
places are also recognized. Each
registry in each grade level (senior,
junior, sophomore) with a \v;*...r:
Is also awarded a pennant.
"Quite a few boys are participating
it* mtrainurais but,~tnany more boys
signed up than showed up!" Tins
lack of following through wii-.
commitment is the only drawback,
according to Mr. Anino. rt It involves
a lot of. useless work and programming
and is unfair to the boys who
do show up, expecting to play a
game,"
Future intramural plans hope to
''include co-ed softball, volleyball, and
. specdbuli • between registries. Mr.
Am*.io wants a horseshoe pit and a
putting: green to add to the variety
of sports. Individual managers for
each sport are also visioncd in the
future.'

the Cards scoreless until John Gianaras

the fourth quarter. The boot; John's

as each team scared latcvm the

The Tribe finished the regular season
the week before with a 53-0 win
over Poly in the iraditional axegaine.
Many plar;;> for the game were

only real highlight "was an &0 yard
kickoff return by Ret:gie Browne to

six points, all they needed for the
win. With the Poly victory, the Indians

kfflULOWELL
The University of California will initiate the twelve-week semester
in the fall of 1966.
The present system, called the "semester system," consists of three
semesters: fall, spring, and summer. Under the new system, the academic
yearw'li consist of the fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters.
Each quarter h 12 weeks. L
How does this affect the student? A student attending the University
for three quarters cadi year will be able to saiisfy th^ requirements
for the bachelor's degree, in the normal four years.
By also amending the summer quarters, he can earn his degree in
" asi?:tie as three years. The amount of time the student attends school
r • .'remains the same. He attend? nine months (provided he chooses the
nortnaJ course of study)^ divided into three semesters instead of two.
w-_. The conversion from the semester to the quarter system began in
txiefaU of 1965. Campuses at Irvine, San Diego, and Santa Cruz mark
the beginning of the change. Al? other campuses will continue to opcrate
on ; thc^$emester system through the 1965-66 academic year.
; • Under the Wwly-innovated quarter system, one planning to enroll
m the university in September may begin his studies In the summer
quarter. Those who dc will have no difficulty in being admitted to

Pacific Relations and
Courses To Be Added
Two new courses will be in-
' troduced to Lowell for the following
spring semester. Pacific
-Relations, an addition to the
History Department, will concentrate
on the history of
China. The Music Department
is offering, as an additional elective,
a class in Music Appreciation.
Pacific Relations will cover the
early history of China through the
194? Civil War, including the Commwvst
assumption of p^wer. There
will be emnhatis on the r.nltnra!, political,
economic, re!i?Hon

in particular. This appeal
came in the form of a recommendation
that the students be informed
regarding a problem facing the company.
T
When the Bay Area Rapid Transit
goes into effect, the system will
serve parts of Lhe area around Lowell.
For this reason it is not practical
for the Muni to buy new streetcars
which would become obsolete so

THE SUPERVISOR who made
the recommendation felt that if the

the seeming scarcity of streetcars,
they would be more willing to

After It's All Over
Its all well ;ifi*I jjood to spend SI .50 per foot for a seven-foot
Christmas tree, because after all. it is in the spirit of Christmas.
And it's fine to *=pend $500 on gil'ts for distam relatives oerause
well, it just wouldn't seem like the holidays if you didn't, ritfhl?
And all that ri»'h food you choked down in immense quantities
then wrcstlcti with indigestion ;\V night—wasn't all thai just part
of ''Christmas feeling?"
Face it—it's not. The original idea of Christmas (before Madi-
son Avenue #et a hold of it j was to remind men of ideals—like for
example, brotherly love and the blessedness of unselfish giving.
\u\v that the holidays have passed and our Christmas trees
arc lying in the junk heap, we can look back and try to find those
ideals. How about those presents? Mow many of them thought-
lessly and extravagantly bought, will be stored away in drawers
and closets until Auni Bess has an anniversary or Lenny has a
Bar Mitzvah? Or how many of them will be returned to Mary's
or Magnin's with the sentiment "I'gh! Who f d want that thing
around the house?"
Or how about that costly fare, costly both financially and
physically (for what will certainly result is endless indigestion
and acres of acne). Was it worth it?
Obviously these manifestations of holiday spirit do not pro-
duce the desired results. The values of the season have been dis-
torted. The idea of unselfish giving is to give something the giver
or recipient holds dear, and the giving must be sincerely done.
There is no "obligation clause" in that kind of giving—no gifts
to give because it "would look bad otherwise."
Certainly, it's nice to give remembrances to others because
the receiving of a gift might bring surprise or delight to the re-
ceiver. The practice of gift giving certainly isn't bad in fact, in
moderation, it is ^ood.
There are some farmliej; who learned moderation the hard
way. They can't afford Christmas trees ami fancy presents. May-
be some of them can't even afford food. It's those hardworking
mothers on welfare rolls who know the true joy of receiving, aiid
perhaps as they look at their hungry children they know what
it's like t-» truly want to give.
The overfed middle classes have forgotten how nice it could
be to receive a gaudy trinket fron* the dime store, but Jots of kids
in run-down areas haven't.
The comfortable classes don't remember how it feels to go
hungry on Christmas Eve just like on most nights of the year,
nor do they remember how to give without promise of retribu-
tion, be it acclaim or income tax deductions.
The comfortable classes have forgotten Christmas.
If you want to recover it, look next year to find the spirit of
Christmas in your heart, not in your pockctbook.
Male Spy Views Pi ay day
- By RON BURK
On December 16, 1965,; Urn
reporter witnessed an enter-
taining 1 event—a GAA playday.
It started out with very pimple
folk dancing which was in the tra-
dition of Fred Astnire. The dancers
•wore their native costumes of blue,
while nimbly tvaltzi^g their i&rtncrs
around the floor.
From.here all the girls were di-
vided into groups according to »h"
tags which they were issued at tlu .
door. "All the Wue Christmas trees ~
on red background go whh the or-
ange candy canes on purple back-
fcroaiKi." This xvxa the call oi the
announcer until all tlic girls were in
thc?r refpectivd'groups.
AT THIS POINT the ladies en-
tered into an exciting game of vol-
leyball. The tfirls all proved to'he
fine athletes, and except for the /act
that they wore hitting the ball onto
stomeoue else's court, there was no
confusion whatsoever.
: Thcu it was lime for the exciting
telay races whcli had bcrcn planned
fdi the Lowell lovelies. Along a wall
of the Kym wen* paper Christmas
trees ,vh»ch had everything but pine
needles and decorations. It appeared
that the girls could do nothing for
the iack of pint: needles, but what
they did do was have a race to sec
who could decorate their trees the
fastest. There were two awards giv-
en in this event, one foi the team
which decorated Us tree the fastest
atuV^ucfor the prettiest tree.
Xext Jim grand finale was to come.
The final race of the day. This time
the girls got to exercise a muscle
which isn't u&ctl too riien in normal
iuiysical activity. Every on t- was cx-
"dted u;r tlic type of race was yet to
be announced. After four cxplanr •
tions of'the race, most wrre canfid-
cut enough to dare this nnai evuiit.
THE WHOLE race consisted of
taking a blown ti*> balloon, placing
it in front of you and pushing it with
your nose. These difticul: directions
took about ten minute-* to explain.
With this the girls were off. It was
a tough .fight to the finish, but one
team finally won over another when
an injury caused a team to lose by
default lone of the girls popped a
balloon!).
Even through all tl:»* kidding and
"boo-boos" the girls seemed to thor-
oughly enjoy themselves.

Natural History Club
Hunts Fossils, Surveys
Coal Mine, Takes Hike
Have you ever wondered what
happened to Ihf Natural History
Club which was started two years
Ago by Mr. Russcl Janipian and Miss
Ruth'Rudser?
The club still exists and has been
quietly having some pood time?. A
"wild" fossil hunt was one of the
club's several vast events including
a stimulating tri;>to mme coal mines.
According to President Robin
Chiang the club's goal is "to strive
for intellectual compatibility between
club members."
"We provide nur own traiivporta-
r!on for ». which inci-
dcntly arc planned by Vice Presi-
dent John Dohlcman." A map is
secured from a ranger station and
the trail with the most to offer in a
certain distance is followed. "We
sometimes get college students for
cuideii on our trips."
Future plans hope to include an
overnight hike in the Sierras during
January. More interesting speakers,
like the earthquake specialist who
visited the club, arc also a future vi-
sion.
Kathy Heuu is secretary oi the
Matural History Club and Linda
Cornpton is treasurer.

As They Are Prone To Say..,
THE
It's Little Things That Count
If one had to list the things
that make I.MWCII High School
unique, he \\\>dlri probably have
little trouble in compiling quite
an impressive list.
There art the passionate purple
game tickets, and the Harold Rossit
posters. There's also the jaw-packed
iiaiiways and the winning lorensics
t.'-ims. One might list the annual va-
riety show or the mnbbfd cifctcria.
Or maybe even Floyd.
HOWEVER, during the spring
and summer months, there is one as-
pect of the campus that has quickly
become an institution—thcinonstrotis
dahlias and plant growth in the innf'
court.
As soon as the spring breezes bc-
gi:i to-blow am! life begins to awaki'n
beneath the soil, Lowell's court be-
comes a mass of amazing growth.
The comparison between the foliage
during the winter and summer is
hard xo believe.
From almost nowhere, leaves,
branches, and buds erupt from soii
and stem, fanning out and filling ev-
ery available nook and cranny. Stu-
dets, who in the \vintc months, en-
joyed sitting on the concrete benches,
now find themselves being shoved,
crowded, and forced out of their
Punch time haunts by the surging
gr.»wth.
Petite Cathy Cicerone is engulfed by Lowell's lush plant growth.
WITHIN a mere few weeks, the
calm and serene court ha» necoinc a
veritable jungle, alive with blossoms,
vines, and sprouting vegetation.
At times, tlits horticultural phe-
nomenon takes on an ominous as-
pect, causing the onlooker to ponder
whether or not these .i!im*t* pulsat-
ing vines and tenacles arc reaching
for something more hearty and sus-
taining than the nutrients received
from the >oil.
Soon, the courtyard habitue finds
himself wit!, no place to Ml and eat
his lunch and converse with his
friends, for the lush annuals and per-
ennials have wou out and conquered
all available space.
THERE. IS little doubt about :.
success ot Xnc Lowell ganK-iu-:
Each growing season they m::j
themselves.
As the current winter season m v,,
on and srn the sun begins its c::cv
in a more northerly direclL».i. I. .-.

Kor nearly two decades now,
American television has been
bombarded from all sides by
an apparently increasing num-
ber of critics.
Two aspects of this; enter-
tainment media feel the brunt
of the barbs: the content of the
programs themselves and thc
inanity of thc commercials.
Thousand* of words have erupted
from critical pens and voices, lash-
ing" out at the calibre of various
shows and rhc^absurdity of thc ad-
vertising. It b the latter'aspect about
which we wish to comment.

Page Four THE LOWELL
A Year in Retrospect
Top '65 Sports Moments
See Indians Place High
By MIKE CRONK
It has always been customary at the end of the semester for
the sports editor to review the action of the past season and inform
as to how the athletic legions at Lowell faired.
But it is not out of any customary obligation that I pen this
post season write up. I write it because I feel the boys who represented
Lowell this past year did a truly great job, and should
be commended for their successful efforts in maintaining Lowell's
bright pinnacle of success in the AAA high school league.
* * * * *
The past football season was one of the most memorable at
Lowell in recent years. Playing on campus for the first time in
our history, honoring retiring mentor "Curly" Bill Feiling, and
playing before television cameras three weeks in a row were highlights
But of course the big thing was the varsity getting into
Turkey Day. Although the boys lost to Lincoln, 13-0, it was one
of only two defeats they suffered in 11 games. They avenged their
only other loss by beating Sacred Heart in an exciting playoff
game, 10-7. Lowell sported the best defensive team in the city,
and they were great because the players performed as a team.
Speaking as a student, and for many students we wish to thank
the Lowell varsity for getting the school into Turkey Day.
• * * * *
The defendng champion junior varsity could not make it
two years in a row, but our soph grid team coached by Mr. Ed
Burns shared the co-championship with Poly. They compiled a
perfect 7-0 record and had an excellent chance of beating Poly
when the rains came. Only uvo teams scored against thein all
year. The total came to a mere 20 points, and the little Redmen
won every game convincingly.
• * * * *
The soccer team had its poorest season in many, many years.
The boys managed to tie only one game this season after making
the playoffs five years in a row. But no one really got "shook up"
when they made the playoffs each year, so I see no reason to get
"shook up" because they had a poor year.
* * * * *
When they added up the total number of points of our soph-
./XV., and varsity cross country teams at the All-City meet, it was
discovered that Lowell had won the overall city title. Our cross
country teams* always finish in the top four! Always?? Heck,
just about always! Eh, Mr. Wolf??
up until recently had gone through a brief period of
basketball obscurity. But as of last year's second place varsity
and tine first division finishes of the -112's and 120's basketball
teams, the drought appears to be over, and .we can expect to see
some high caliber play'cfc the basketball courts.
I again want to congratulate the boys who played this fall
on doing an excellent job. You should apiM*2c:atc them and be
proudofthem. •:/?•

Lowell*? varsity basketballers
opened the 1966 season on
an auspicious note, downing the
Balboa Hues, 36-30. Leading
the Tribe were Bill Uchtcnbe-*»cr,
who was high point
man with 13 points, and Dale
Sutton with 12.
Next week the Indians take
on the favored Lincoln Mustangs
in one of the big ones of
the current season. Lincoln is
the prc-scason favorite to take
the AAA championship.

Pre-Season Tourneys
The Tribe cagers served notice
to the rest of the AAA
league that they will be a team
to contend with this 1966 basketball
season. In three preseason
tournaments, they made
a good showing.finishing fourth
in the St. Elizabeth's Tournament,
and capturing second
place positions in the San Ramon
and Bishop O'Dowd tourneys.
•
Although they lost two games of
the St. Elizabeth tournament to St.
Elizabeth and St. Mary's, U was by a
mere two points in caca contest. The
Indians did manage to bounce back
and bury Oakland by nine points.
In the San Ramon tournament,
Lowell convicingly defeated Pittsburg
and Alhambra.
Bishop O'Dowd, tournament host,
defeated the Cards in the championship
game, 56-48, after Lowell had
defeated Sc'rra, 55-46 and El Cerrito
by a whopping 19 points.

Gripping Battle Ends in 14-14
One of the most exciting football
games seen at Lowell in
many a season ended in a hardly-contested
14-14 tie.
Tt was the first annual Powder-
Puff Bowl game. Tt pitted the Adelphis
Y, (who arc also high seniors
at Lowell), against another bruising,
hard hitting aggregation of high
senior girls.
Coaches Reggie Urcwnc and Mike
Carter of the H-12's predicted victory,
as did the mentors of the Y
chargers, Dave Del Carlo and John
Dobclxnan. But at game time the
outcome was considered a toss-up.
THE Y'S WERE led by high
stepping halfback Micky Hausc, versatile
back Cheryl Wong, swiftmoving
guard Gail Trcadwell, and
rugged tackle Julie Zidek. The H-12
girls looked to swivel hips Cricket

When asked about frustrated thespians
who feel that their singing
might be just n bit off, Drama Coach
Mrs. Shirley McClung smiled, "You
don't have to be a professional singer
to be in t!ie play. Many of the songs
involve more talking than actual
singing'*
The three-act musical, adapted
from Molicre's "Bourgeois Gentilhommes,"
is a comment on society
and social position.
IN RESPONSE to the question
of why he wrote the play. Steve remarked.
"I've wanted to do this sort
of thing ever since I was in junior
high, but I never really did anything
about it until last summer when 1
attended a drama clinic at State College
and became very interested in
the idea."
Steve finished writing the play in
August after i,iuch revision and researching
into the ways of play writing.
The music *\nd lyrics have only
recently been completed and may
still he rcvi&d, according to Steve.
The 17 musical numbers in the updated
