Reception for New 

Students Set for 

Wednesday, Oct. 5 

All students who arc new to' 

^Lowell this semester arc in for the 

time of their lives on Wednesday, 

October 5, during the sixth and 

seventh periods, according to Guy 

|; Erb, co-chairman of the event, along 

with Sue Brochard. 

This event, in case some of you 

new people don't already know, is 

the Newcomer's Reception. 

Each year the new students of 

[>Lowell are entertained with the 

'presentation of all presentations," 

i.; and this year is no exception, said 

Erb. 

ZANY TALENT 

Erb also pointed out that the 

entertainment to be offered to the 

new Lowellites is one of high calibre. 

Under the competent direction of 

Miss B. M. Mensing, the members 

of the Scroll will put on their famous 

production number of ''The Can- 

Can." 

HIGH SOCIETY 

No show would ever be complete 

\i without a touch of high society. For 

this reason the Shield members will 

put on a fashion show, in order to 

jto what 

the best dressed people are wearing., 

: It should prove to be very interesting 

and informative, and it could.' 

in spots, be very amusing, admitted 

Erb. ' 

MORE DOINGS 

Then, to top off the perfect afternoon, 

the Shield ami Scroll have 

arranged for a newcomer's dance, 

which is to be held in the Armory. 

The main purpose of the dance is, 

naturally, to introduce the fellows 

to the girls, and for everyone to have 

a good time. 

Erb added. "The afternoon should 

prove to be the highlight of the 

freshman year and one that they 

should remember for quite some 

time. If the newcomers get into the 

swing of things, they'll not only 

benefit the school, but themselves 

as well. 

PTA Membership Drive 

Gets Under Way Oct. 10 

The membership drive for the 

PTA will once more be under, way 

from October 10 through 11. Mrs. 

Hines Lindner, president of the Lowell 

PTA, asks the cooperation of all 

the teachers and students in this Lo- 

; well's Centennial year to exceed the 

previous year's record. 

October 20 is the date of the next 

PTA meeting. It will be held at 7:30 

p.m. in the auditorium. 

The program will consist of a ski 

hy the members of the .PTA and a 

f; speech by Joan Burton, telling of her 

experiences this summer as an exchange 

student of the American Field 

Service. 

This year's fund-raising event will 

be a dessert luncheon in addition to 

car «l games. It will take place on November 

19 in the auditorium. The 

funds raised will be used for the improvement 

of the facilities of Lowell.

Card Sales 

Reach 95% 

In the first two weeks of the fall 

semester, student body sales have 

soared to an amazing 95 per cent 

according to Bob Minncy, Lowell 

High treasurer. 

Of the 1800 students attending Lowell 

this term, 1637 have already purchased 

their cards, leaving only 163 

to be sold. 

In order to encourage the selling 

of the remaining cards. Bob Minncy 

intends to have stickers placed on 

the doors of the registries that arc 

100 per cent. 

"In this way, the registries that 

arc not 100 per cent will stick out like 

a sore thumb," stated Minncy. 

All Applications for 

The NROTC Due Soon 

AH low and high-senior boys attention! 

December 10, 1955, is the 

deadline set for the annual nationwide 

qualifying examination for 

NROTC candidates. All applications 

for the exam must have been received 

n Princeton, New Jersey, by Noember 

19. 

Only a few applications arc availblc 

in Room 142. Therefore, they 

shall be given to the first group of 

applicants. It is required that each 

applicant must have 20/20 uncorrected 

vision in each eye* 

NROTC students may take any 

course leading to a bacalaurcate degree 

while in college. There are a 

few exceptions, however, among 

which arc pre-medicinc, medicine, 

pre-deutal, dentistry, and pre-veterinary. 

Courses in prc-thcological, theology, 

pharmacy, music, art. and veterinary 

medicine arc also among 

those not offered to NROTC students. 

Enrollment of Lowell 

Reaches High of 1806 

An unusual change was recorded 

this year when it was discovered that 

enrollment at Lowell was below that 

of the previous year. For the first 

time in years the statistics show that 

we have a lesser amount of students. 

The enrollment for this school 

year, as of last week was 1,806. This 

figure is slightly below last year's 

total. 

The sophomore class is the largest 

at Lowell this year w«th a total enrollment 

of 529. The juniors are next 

with 512. and the seniors follow with 

only 415. The freshman class is the 

smallest at Lowell this year with 337 

members. 

Although it may seem the girls 

outnumber the boys 10 to 1 at times, 

the statistics show that there are 48 

more boys than girls at Lowell. 

Lowellites Cheer at Pageant 

White L Stands Out in Pageant 

Lowell Beats S.H.! Student Council Is 

At AAA Pageant 

The Lowell football team pulled 

through to win a trophy when they 

took Sacred Heart in the second 

game played at the Prep Football 

Pageant. September 16, at Kczar. 

Although Lowell didn't win any 

trophies for the best rooting section 

and spirit, the Indians made a great 

showing, as was expressed from 

many attending. 

Prc-game ceremonies consisted of 

ROTC drill units, band competition, 

and organized activities by the various 

rooting sections. 

Washington and Lincoln won for 

the best rooting section. St. Ignatius 

won for the mosi attendance ana another 

.award for the best spirited 

team; Poly took another trophy for 

spirit. 

The first game was between Balioa 

and Galileo, Bal winning on 

yardage. Lowell won the second 

game, 6-0, and in the following game 

Lincoln beat Balboa, 6-0. The fourth 

game was won by Poly, 6-0, and in 

the last game Mission beat St. Ignatius.

11 the room representatives in the 

chool. The council discusses various 

indent activities and problems, an 

hen the representatives report back

It's almost here! Just one more day 

o wait for the first dance of the fall 

erm. Tomorrow night, from 8:30 to 

•1:30 p.m., many Lowellites will be 

bund in the girls* gym. The dance 

has been entitled "Tim Foot Ball." 

The theme, which is so appropriate 

o the season of the year, was suggested 

at one of the dance committee 

meetings and very enthusiastically 

received. The committee decided that 

Class Elections Today

In celebration of Lowells 100 

with this theme many clever decorations 

could be used. 

Football Decorations Used 

Lending the proper atmosphere to 

the gym will be a huge backdrop 

showing a football field with drawings 

of players on it. Also decorating 

lie walls of the gym will l>e memonos 

of the tfame, such as goal posts 

and footballs. 

All committee members submitted 

original tallies and one was selected

the committee designed thi clever 

ally, which is also in keeping wilh 

he football motif. 

Music From Washington 

Our friendly rival, Washington 

High, will be represented at the 

dance. An eight piece band composed 

of Wasington students will provide 

a well-balanced mixture of smooth 

melody and jivey jazz for an exciting 

evening of dancing. 

Members Work Hard 

Under the very helpful guidance 

of Miss Dcaltry, the dance committee 

has worked very hard to make 

this dance a complete success. In- 

cluded on the committee are Larry 

Miller, Pat Clark, Audrey Schwartz,

OINTS 

Littered Yard Is a Problem 

The messy condition of the halls 

and court after the snack break and 

lunch periods at the beginning of this 

term seemed so serious that it was 

necessary to devetc the whole first 

Executive Hoard meeting lo an cx- 

anrinat.'on of tins problem. 

Mr. Peri no was simply amazed by 

the amount of litter left on the 

grounds, especially after,hearing of 

Lowell's excellent reputation. 

Several Ideas 

Guy Erb. Al Clark. Jim Nolan, 

and Hob Minncy, members of the 

Scroll, painted the garbage cans in a 

bright and noticeable color so that 

the students would be reminded to 

use them. These hoys gave up a Sat- 

urday to do this job for which we all 

should be grateful. If they can give 

up an afternoon, certainly we can 

give up a few moments to walk over 

*o the containers and use them. 

We discussed the making of signs 

with humorous sayings to hang at 

conspicuous places around school. 

Also mentioned was the idea of con- 

tcsis between registries and classes 

to see which group could keep Hie 

grounds the cleanest. Someone sug- 

gested that pamphlets could be hand- 

ed oi't to remind the students to be 

mat and clean. 

Necessary? 

However, is all tins necessary? 

Since the clean-up campaign was 

started, there has been sonic im- 

provement. As teen-agers we feel 

ready to shoulder responsibility, but 

arc we, if we can't even throw our 

waste papers and wrappers in the 

garbage cans? 

We certainly wouldn't think of 

dropping papers around just any 

place in our own homes, so why do 

it around school? Mr. Perino and the 

janitorial staff feel that the condi- 

tion has been bettered, but there is 

still room for improvement. 

A great deal of the Utter around 

school is due to people's thoughtless- 

ness, not their willingness to do 

wrong, so let's think to keep the 

school dean! 

Letters to the Editor 

A letter was sent to Lowell by 

Miss V. Clanser of San Francisco 

telling that a 14 year old German 

girl wished a pen pal in the United 

States. Miss Clanser has kept up a 

corespondence with the girl after 

having sent her family food and 

clothing during the war. 

The following is quoted from the 

girl's letter to her "aunt" 

"Thank you for the compliments 

for my good English, I can trans- 

late your letters nearly without a 

dictionary. I would be very glad 

when you could send me an address 

of a young person. I write to you my 

hobbies once more: sports, movie, 

music, and languages... 

"In August a girl from our school 

will travel to America. At first she 

goes to Canada "and then to New 

York. She will spend one year." 

The girl, Karin Graefen lives in 

the British sector of Germany. Any 

•.interested students please contact 

Mr. Buckley or drop a note in the 

"letter box" outside the main office.

After the Pageant .some members 

of the football team mentioned that 

we had sounded spiritci to them and 

they knew we were behind tliem all 

the way. 

We Mill have most of this year's 

football season left, and the basket- 

ball season is yet to come. Lei's keep 

up the pood work and support 

Lowell's teams. 

European Summer 

Welcome back, Joan Burton, after 

your wonderful summer in Europe. 

Joan, who was an exchange student 

on the American Field Service plan, 

spent her time with two Belgium 

families, each of which had a 

daughter Joan's age. 

Joan accompanied the families on 

their vacations and was able to visit 

Paris, Franco; Dnsseldorf, Cologne, 

and the Rhine section of Germany; 

and Amsterdam, Holland. She also 

spent a week in the mountains bord- 

ering'France and Belgium. 

Fourteen Students 

Fourteen students applied for this 

opportunity through Lowell; the 

group was narrowed down to four by 

Miss Pence and a committee from 

San Francisco. Two were then se- 

lected by a committee from New 

York. Julie Klein, a June graduate, 

was the other LowelHtc chosen. 

The students were jurfg«vl on 

scholarship, essays, activities around 

school, and on personal interviews. 

Crossing the Atlantic to Europe, 

the students were divided into two 

groups—Joan was with 200 others on 

a military ship. Coming back all 600 

from the United States were to- 

gether to relive wonderful experi- 

ences. 

Miss Scott 

As we mentioned in the last issue, 

"Miss Scott, th'p head librarian, has 

• left Lowell for a year. She is wot at 

the Board of Education library as 

i.ientioncd, hut at the Curricula 

Laboratory where she is compiling

How would you like to be paid marshes and over hills, their shoes 

to take a trip through the Panama 

Canal? 

For two and a half months this 

summer, Al Clark and John Dcbcn- 

ham lived the lives of seamen. 

In between eating and sleeping, 

they painted, swabbed decks, stood 

watch, and did maintenance work. 

Work Hard 

By the end of the trip, 16 hours 

of duty a day, was almost a natural 

thing, but they expected such hard 

work because they are strong and 

healthy men. 

The first week, the crew got big 

laugl.s when the two Lowell sail- 

or^?) showed they were a bit green, 

but John and Al gained new friends, 

and a lot of respect from the regular 

crew. 

El Salvador 

A few days after they arrived at 

La Union, El Salvador, John and Al 

gave up waiting for the Coast Guard 

that was already three days late. 

They paid some natives $1 to lite 

them to town; they round themselves 

abandoned about two mites out of 

their destination. After walking the 

long way to La Union, through 

were ruined and they said, "We were 

in no shape to accomplish things." 

Savannah to New York 

Tne hardest part of the whole trip 

was from Wilmington, Del., to Sav- 

annah, Ga. They worked straight 

through two days just cleaning oil 

tanks. Al and John thought it would 

be a big 1 operation with machines, but 

when they were handed a dust pan 

and a broom, they were kind of 

shockedI 

After they had completed their 

thrcc-rfay stay in New York City,,, 

they had nothing to complain about 

"It was great!" they both replied in 

unison. 

Al signed off the ship at New Or- 

leans and then caught a plane for the 

"City by the Golden Gate;" so he 

could get in shape for football. 

John, however, hadn't had enough 

and staj-cd with the tanker uniil it 

reached Los Angeles. (Could it.be 

John, that you wanted some sleep 

now that Al was gone?) „ 

Al really had a problem fiis first 

few nights home. He couldnt' sleep. 

It was too quiet not sleeping next 

to the engine room!

AL CLARK 

Who likes "the Josh," pink, sleep- 

ing, football, and most of all, Texas, 

and dislikes only S.I.? 

He is 5 feet II inches tall, has blue 

eyes and a blond crewcut. "Say, 

man!" is his favorite expression. 

If you haven't guessed by now, it's 

Al Clark, this term's Block L presi- 

dent. Al was president of his L-ll 

class. 

:: : When asked about his favorite date 

Al replied, 'Tm still looking." He 

then said a S-foot-5-inch blonde 

sounds good. If he succeeds in find- 

ing his dream girl, she would be 

taken to a school dance and then to 

the hungry i. 

After graduation at midterm, Al's 

destination is Stanford where he will 

study medicine. 

TERRY STEPHENS 

As you can tell, Terry Stephens is 

kept very busy by his many activi- 

ties at Lowell. 

This term he is an assistant yell 

leader, secretary-treasurer of the Big 

lirothcrs, and sergeant-at-arms of 

the Block L. Last, but certainly not 

least, he is a member of the Scroll. 

He is also on the track team. 

Going to the hungry i with E.G. is 

the favorite date of this 5 foot 9 inch, 

bluc-cyod brown-haired boy. 

Not too many things peeve Terry, 

and he admits people who yell at 

rallies and games rate high in his 

estimation. 

After graduation in June, Terry 

hopes to attend Dartmouth or Cal to 

study commercial art or business ad- 

ministration. 

DIXIE SAMUELS 

A pleasant smile and a great per- 

sonality represent Dixie Samuels, 

this term's president of the Girls* 

Block L. Dixie is always seen busily 

at work in the counseling office 

where she struggles with the files. 

She is a member of the Big Sisters, 

the CSF, GAA, and the Executive 

Board. Dixie's favorite date is to go 

dancing with someone who is over 

5 feet 7, with a nice personality and 

who is also lots of fun. She likes to 

conclude her dates eating pizza. 

Tliis high senior likes to go bowl- 

ing with her friends and gets awfully 

excited when she gets a strike. This 

busy girl also finds time to go bowl- 

ing with the GAA. 

After graduation Dixie plans to go 

to Cal where she will starty the field 

of merchandising. 

MICHAEL RUSS 

I think that one time or another 

you have wondered who the highest 

officer of the ROTC is. Well, this 

term it is Michael Russ. 

Besides being active in the ROTC, 

Mike is on the Executive Board. 

This 5 foot, 9 inch, blue-eyed 

blond stated that his favorite date 

consists of a Lowell dance then to 

Mel's with a cute girl with a great 

personality. 

After asking Mike about his pet 

peeve he slowly admitted that "teach- 

ers" might fit that category. 

With the close of this interview 

Mike slowly went back to his me- 

chanical drawing class. 

ALAN JOHNSON ] 

If you're looking for Al Johnson | 

around school, there's a good chance i

sic is his chief interest. Al, who plays 

the clarinet and saxophone, is the 

student leader of the band.

committee. 

""People who complain about the 

17-inch mufflers on my car arc my 

only pet peeve," Larry confessed. 

His likes include sports, music, cars, 

and girls. 

Taking M.G.to the Venetian Room 

for dancing is Larry's idea of a fabu- 

lous evening. 

Larry was very pleased with Lo- 

well's appearance at the Pageant and 

said the students cooperated per- 

fectly. 

GAIL JOCOBS 

"I'm late, I'm late, for a very im- 

portant date," is the perfect song 

title for the busy H-12 Big Sister 

president, (Jail Jacobs. 

She is also kept very busy around 

Lowell by the GAA. CSF, and help- 

ing in the office. 

IJiy Sisters who rton't get in touch 

with their little sisters is Gail's pet 

pcevt—so watch out! 

Gail's favorite date is dancing un- 

der the stars at Fairfax and after- 

wards to Mario's with a boy that has 

a fabulous personality and, of course, 

can dance. 

Talking on the telephone is her 

pastime, so if you ever want to call 

Gail—be patient. 

TERRY YASUKOCHI 

Trying to get Terry Yasukochi for 

an interview was a hard job, but she 

was finally cornered in physiology. 

Terry is this term's secretary of the 

GAA; she is also very active around 

school as one of the rally committee, 

the Big Sisters, Block L, and GAA 

howling. 

Terry loves jazz and likes to go to 

George's where she listens to the 

band. This brown-cyed brunette con- 

siders her favorite date going to a 

good movie and eating pizza after- 

wards (with T.T.). Terry'* great 

personality is always showing, but 

she gets furious whenever anyone 

spells her last name incorrectly. 

Terry, still having a year to go at 

Lowell, has not yet made any definite 

plans for after graduation.

Students Enjc. Week at 

Red Cross Summer Camp 

Diane Sachs and Charles Me- 

Clure represented Lowell at the re- 

cent Junior Red Cross summer camp 

near Cazadcro, California. Students 

came from as far south as Crockett, 

California, and as far north as Rich- 

mond and Oakland, California. The 

camp had every type of recreation, 

including swimming and nightly 

dances. 

There were also nightly campfirc 

meetings. From eight o'clock until 

8:45 the students listened to adult 

speakers talk on Adult Red Cross. 

During these speeches there were 

movies and slides. Mr. Elliot, who is 

the manager of the Red Cross in San 

Francisco, was one of the speakers 

at night camp fires. 

Each day there were two, two-hour 

classes. One was from 8:30 until 

10:30 a.m., and the other wai from 

1:30 until 3:30 p.m. The students 

took over these classes and directed 

them. The main goal of the classes 

was to Leach the students the Junior 

Red Cross program and also how to 

be good leaders. 

Diane described the camp in these

500 SANSOME ST. GA 1-6859 

By ALAN JOHNSON 

Opera season lias descended on us 

like the crazy, mad thing it is, and 

San Francisco opera lovers (crazy, 

mad people that they are), arc en- 

joying it to the proverbial hilt. 

Opening night was the usual 5I10L 

in the arm, when our leaders of in- 

dustry and business donned their top 

hats and tails (man's attempt to imi- 

tate the insect) and allowed their 

wives to drag them to the finest eve- 

ning's entertainment all year. (On 

"Dragnet" night, too!) 

After numerous dinner and cock- 

tail parties, our heroes and heroines, 

tripped up the Opera House stairs 

and made it to their scats (for which 

they paid $30) just in time for the 

first act of "Aida." 

I understand that the two Opera 

House bars did a land office business 

both during and between acts. Being 

centers of entertainment as well as 

important sources of revenue, those 

little hot spots arc often more in- 

teresting than the performance. 

At about midnight, overwhelmed 

by four glorious hours of "Aida," the 

aforementioned leaders of business 

and industry and their wives were off 

to newer and greater frolics, while 

the ordinary opera lovers looked on. 

lucidently, the performance went 

very well. With the exception of a 

botched up tenor aria and this same 

tenor's nearly falling on his stage 

area, it could even be said to have 

run smoothly. 

It starred Dcnata Tcbaldi (consid- 

ered by most, the world's greatest) 

and she got rave reviews from better 

critics than I. 

Anyhow, Dragnet's on every week. 

School Clubs Plan 

Many Activities 

A variety of activities are being 

planned hythevarious c-abs through- j 

out the school. 

This term the Poster Club, spon- 

sored by Miss Chase, will make post- 

ers for the com;ng Centennial, as well 

as for football Raines, school dances, 

and other activities around the 

school. 

Ticket Sellers 

The Ticket Sellers Club, spon- 

sored by Miss Mathisen, promotes 

the sale of tickets and sells them to 

all events. 

A new idea is being employed by 

the club this term. This is the selling 

of tickets at booths on the first, sec- 

ond, and third floors. Another new 

lea is the wearing of badges by the 

members. 

Biology Club 

The Biology Club, which is spon- 

sored by Aliss Vasilatos, will plan 

trips according to the members' in- 

terests. Possible trips include visits 

to the zoo, the aquarium, and the 

Audubon Society. 

Radio Club 

Mr. Dury will teach the members 

of the Radio Club the Morse code 

and some elementary electronics in 

order that they may obtain a sending 

license. The members will then build 

radio sets for communication with 

other "hams." 

Writers Club 

Miss Mousing plans to have the 

members of the Writers Club write 

poems, stories, and literary essays 

this term.

In the 

Spotlight 

• By. SUSAN FIGEL 

Great times were had by all at the 

Big-Ltttle Sister party that was held 

l?5t Tuesday in the auditorium. 

The Indian theme was carried out 

with a skit and a lot of good talent 

The activities committee was 

headed by Carolyn Watson and 

Audrey Witt. Also on the committee 

were Jerrcll Jacobs, Judy Freed, 

Audrey Dichl, Julia Russcl, Char- 

lotte Lee, and Helen Wood. 

Lorelle Cohn, Diane O'Niel, and 

Josephine Hanson were working 

under Judy Sirbu and Tasia Vlahos 

on the refreshment committee. 

Patrol Started 

The Big Sisters and Brothers have 

started something new this term. 

They will have a patrol to keep the 

students in school during rallies and 

snack periods. There will be six boys 

and six girls on this patrol, two at 

each door. 

The girls will wear arm bands with 

a picture of a squaw's head, and the 

Big Brother's former band will be 

changed to a picture of an Indian 

chief. 

A new idea was suggested for the 

Big Sisters and that is to mimeo- 

graph all the news from the execu- 

tive meetings and distribute them to 

the girls of the organization. 

Big Sister Pins arc being sold 

again this term.

studying and just standing around 

waiting for the bell to ring. 

We find Mimi Marx already get- 

ting into the swing of things as shs

were talking about the weekend's

Tom Bowman, John Bohrcn, Lar-

This is the first of a series of 

articles on Lowell teachers who have 

recently returned from sabbatic.il 

leave. 

Mr. James Livingstone a Lowcll- 

itc from way hack returned to 

Lowell this term from travels in 

Europe and Africa. In his travels 

Mr. Livingstone visited Germany, 

Austria, Switzerland, Hgypt Jordan, 

Turkey, England, Scotland, Nor- 

way, Sweden, Denmark, and Leba- 

non. 

While in Europe he went to sum- 

mer school at The Madrid University 

in Spain. He saU that one of the 

more enjoyable events that he wit- 

nessed was the opening of the opera 

season at the world famous LaScala 

Opera House in Milano, Italy. 

Mr. Livingstone thinks that prob- 

ably the main difference between 

the Americans and the Europeans 

is in their respective attitudes. He 

pointed out that the Europeans arc 

not as interested as Americans in 

trying to attain personal p t 

Mr. Livingstone visited only oi'.c 

high school during his travels. That 

one was in Egypt. lie claims that the 

most noticeable difference between 

the European teen-agers and those 

of the United States is that the 

Europeans have a lot less emphasis 

on group activities and much more 

on individualism. 

Of all the countries he visited 

Mr. Livingstone said he liked 

Switzerland and Germany the most. 

Ho saiil that on the whole the United 

States cities arc more modern than 

those of Europe but in a few cities 

such as Stockholm they excel us. 

During his travels in Germany 

Mr. Livingstone caught polio which 

forced him to cut off some of his 

travels. He did however regain his 

health and was finally well enough to 

return to Lowell. 

Mr. Livingstone has resumed 

leaching English and will coach the 

tennis and golf teams.

Footballers Face Mission Today 

Indians Victorious Over 

Fighting Irish Elevenr 6-0 

The unveiling of ilic Lowell High 

football team at this year's football 

I'.'iKeani proved to be exciting »; Lowcllites. Then it happened. 

Quarterback Hob Lorn vailed for a 

pitcbout to halfback Bob Oddone. 

The pitclmut went in back of Oddone 

so that it took him a few extra sec- 

ond.- to get his hearings. 

In (he meantim-' the Sacred Heart 

line bad, in anticipation 01 an end 

run, set up a wall of tackier* on the 

left side of the line. Oddone, realizing 

that IK- would never (ret by, reversed 

bis field and eluded the only Irish 

tackier on his side of the field and 

then after reaching about the 40 he 

picked up four blockers, two of 

which were still with him when be 

Indians Sparkle in Opener 

quick play netted nothing and on the j crossed the iroal line. This was the 

next play the Irish were penalized 15 

yards. 

Thinjis were looki'iir tip lor the 

Indians as this pr.t the Irish on their j 

own 22 with third down comin? up. 

Then on the very next play an Irish ) 

back held man found a hole in the 

Lowell line and scooted within 1 

yard of a first down, which they 

picked up on the next play. 

Ball Control Policy 

The boys in j^rccn continued their 

policy of ball control as they stuck 

to a ground pimc and soon picked up 

another first down.Tbingswcre look- 

ing bad for the Indians. With the 

Irish penetrating their territory, it 

looked as if the Lowell defense was 

having trouble stopping them. 

Then all of a sudden the defense 

came to life as they held the Irish 

for four straight plays thus forcing 

them to punt. 

The punt traveled deep into Lowell 

play that won the game for Lowell. 

Louell then kicked off to the Irish 

and broke up the few desperation 

passes that the Irish attempted. 

Lowell Looks for 

Win Over Lincoln 

This year's Lowell-Lincoln uame 

will feature two of the better teams 

in the recent history of the respect- 

ive schools. Lincoln has a veteran 

club that was picked by many ex- 

perts to win this year's champion- 

ship. Lowell has a team picked for 

fir.-t division honors. 

The Mustangs will be led into 

battle by their AH-City candidate. 

quarterback Art Von Wronski, and 

numerous men back from last year's 

third place club. 

Lowell on the other band has a 

strong, well balanced team with 19 

territory where Tom Yasukochi was } veterans returning. The Indians 

waiting and returned it to the 12- 

yard line. For two plays the Indians 

were held without a. gain. The gun 

signifying half time went off, so the 

teams reversed fields. 

featured a fast batkncld and a inir 

defense. The Indians will operate off 

the Split T. The Lowellites have a 

team with a lot of spirit and a club 

that is willing to give theirîH. 

BOB LOM 

CONGRATULATIONS LOW- 

ELL ON YOUR SPLENDID EX- 

HIBITION OF SPIRIT AT THE 

PAGEANT! 

It really was stimulating to every- 

one on.V-hat field, even though we 

didn't receive a. trophy. Let's be re- 

warded in the future by rooting in ! 

a championship football team. What 

say? 

Quick Thinking 

This year's win in the pageant can 

only be attributed to scat back Bob- 

by Oddone who used his curly ticad 

and reversH his field after receiving 

a high pitch out from that old blind 

quarterback and turned a probable 

mishap into a sparkling 88-yard 

touchdown run. Many thanks. Bob, 

it took the pressure off all of us. 

Ahem! 

Choice of the Knights 

Three varsity footballers bad the 

privilege of being selected in the 

Knights of the Gridiron, Lowell's 

high standard football organization. 

The deserving athletes are Tom 

"Athlete of the Week" Yasukochi, 

top Indian defensive back; "Torrid" 

Tommy Xyhan, Lowell's first string 

center and barrelling Bob Oddone, 

the kid who ran 88 yards in the 

pageant. 

These new additions to the 

Knights raises the membership to 

ten gridiron stalwarts. The maxi- 

quota is 22. Any varsity foot- 

ball player who wishes to become a 

Knight simply has to hustle more 

than anyone on the field and show 

that he will be a reliable team man. 

At that time he will be discussed at 

a meeting. 

Just How Good? 

When asked how Lowell would 

do in this year's tight football league 

the following athletes and athletic 

mentors gave these expert opinions. 

Jim Nolan: "With more practice 

we will reach the top." 

Al Katsuyanta: "Along with 

school support and team spirit we 

will easily reach the playoffs.** 

John Dcbcnham: "Will make the 

playoffs if the line docs some block- 

ing." 

Power packed Patsy Jacob: "If I 

play tackle we're in!*' 

Mr. Perino: "Poly is only made of 

skin and bones like our boys. It's 

just all psychological.** 

Coach "Rocking Ray" Milton: 

"This team can be in the playoffs 

if it plays fundamental football."

Athletes of the Week 

One of the most reliable players 

on the varsity football team is Tom 

YaMtkochi. a 5 foot 9 in., 154-lb de- 

fensive halfoack. 

Kicks Conversions 

Tom, who is in his third year as a 

Lowell football player, is also the 

player who kicks the point after 

touchdown. 

This high senior also has competed 

in tract* for the last three years. He 

has run the 120-yard hurdles for the 

30*«* in the excellent time of 14.2, and 

last term was one of the varsity's 

top 180-yard low hurdlers. 

Came From Everett 

Tom came to Lowell from Everett 

Junior High in the ninth grade after 

he had competed in track and bas- 

ketball there. 

He is a Block L member, a mem- 

ber of the Silver Spikes, and is also 

in the Knights of the Gridiron. 

Tom plans to attend CCSF after 

graduation. 

Indians Lose Tilt 

To Gilroy, 25-13 

A fast charging line and some 

slick quarterbacking were the in- 

gredients that provided Gilroy High 

School with a 25 to 13 victory over 

the Lowell varsity gridders on Sept- 

ember 23 in a night contest at Gilroy. 

In the first quarter Gilroy's 

istangs powered their way to two 

scbi'es to grab a 13 point lead/Runs 

of six yards and 13 yards accounted 

for the touchdowns. 

in the second period the 

got back in the running 

Early 

Indians 

when Eric Mackintosh went down 

the middle for 52 yards and a score. 

Tom Yasukochi converted to make 

it 14 to 7. Minutes later the Mustangs 

were on the inarch again. A 45 yard 

pass and a four yard uash made the 

score 19 to 7. 

Another long march in the third 

period, capped by a nine yard run, 

brought the score to 25 to 7. Just 

before the quarter ended, Lowell 

tallied again when Yasukochi inter- 

cepted a Gilroy pass and rambled 

some good 

for 35 yards behind 

downftcld blocking. 

The fourth quarter was nip and 

tuck without a scoring threat by 

cither team. The cfensivc work of 

Mackintosh and the running 1 of Bob 

Oddone were other game highlights. 

Minor Sports 

It has always been true when 

football comes to Lowell the other 

minor sports, lightweight basketball, 

soccer, and cross country are al- 

most forgotten. We must remember 

thai these athletes work just as 

bare' as any others in this school 

and deserve the praise and applause 

that bur varsity football and basket- 

ball teams receive. 

A true Lowcllitc not only takes 

the easy way to the big stadium or 

pavilion, but goes a bit out of his 

way to the polo fields, the school 

gyms around San Francisco, and the 

Beach Chalet. How about it, gang? 

Let's get behind ALL our athletes.

Junior Gridders Hope 

For Winning Season 

Lowell's junior varsity gridders 

made their season opener a victoi i- 

ous one by downing the Gilroy jay- 

vces last Friday evening at Gilroy 

by a 22 to 0 margin. 

A 12 yard run by Bill Stamos and 

a 13 yard dash by Byron accounted 

for the first two scores. A couple of 

pass plays, Vance Strange to Bill 

Stamos for 20 yards and Strange to 

Tony Patch for three yards, brought 

about the third and final Lowell 

touchdown. The Indians added a 

couple o f additional points in the 

fourth quarter with a safety. 

This year the jay veer, arc com- 

posed of practically all newcomers, 

with a few returnees from last year's 

frosh-soph team, so it's impossible 

to tell just how well the squad will 

do. 

Returnees 

Some of the boys back from last 

year are Randy Garrison, Bert Po- 

ni(f. Tony Ellis, Mike Rucka, Tony 

Patch, Tony Curtis, and Ken Kelly, 

Some promising newcomers, ac- 

cording to Coach Ray Aiilton, in- 

clude Bill Lambert, Pete Schmidt, 

Carl Jackson, and Tom Hutchins. 

The team uses the split-T forma? 

lion, and most of the players go on 

both offense and defense. 

Opened Season 

Yesterday the JCs opened their 

season against Mission. 

Activity on the frosh-soph team 

swung into full action this week un- 

der the guidance of the new coach, 

Bob Buckley. 

First Game Is October 7 

The team is preparing for its first 

game of the season, which takes place 

October 7 against Lincoln. 

AH 22 boys arc newcomers to thr 

squad, so, like the JV team, it's dim- 

cult to predict just how successful 

the team will be. 

Frosh-Soph Players 

Some of the players out for the 

squad are John Bootes, Bill Cobb, 

Vincent Fernandez, John Harris, 

Brian Mayer, Paul Poling, Ben Pope, 

Bill Reid, Steve Rowe, David Shida, 

and Amy Hove. 

The other players are John Wills, 

John Bodaurcs, Terry Watonabc, 

Bob Urrea, Rich Locati, Charles Me- 

toyer, Dick Lindslcy, John Bernard, 

John Murray, 

Tom Baker.

Runners to Start 

Season Today 

The first cross country track meet 

for Coach Barney Wolf's team will 

be held at Carlmont High School 

during half time of the football game 

at approximately 3:30 today. 

The distance of the race will be 1.8 

mites, and in the coach's estimation 

each runner should 

under 10 minutes. 

At *he present time, the cross 

country team is composed of 10 run- 

ners. A few are Vincc Spunkier, Ed 

Chavez, Bernett Ross, Dave Sim- 

mons and Rich Guggcnhimc. 

In order to stimulate more spirit 

and enthusiasm. Coach Wolf has in- 

stalled a targe chart in the front hall- 

way of the school, on which the 

times and places of the top runners 

will be recorded. 

The Lowell Cross Country team 

also has another practice meet with 

Lincoln on October 4, at the cross 

country field in Golden Gate Park. 

The time will be 3:30 p.m. and the 

boys would certainly enjoy and ap- 

preciate some support from you 

Lowcllhcs. 

Bears Tough, Bui Redskins 

Ready to Upset '54 Kings 

Lowell launches its grid machine against the 1934 champion 

Mission team today at 3:30 p.m. at Kczar Stadium. Mission en- 

ters this game with a one-loss record. 

The Bears suffered this loss against the Washington Eagles 

(27-33) in an opening week tilt. Lowell holds a Pageant victory 

and a loss to Gilroy in non-league games. 

As the practice started. Lowell was rated as fourth in the 

city. Lowell will therefore be out to keep this press rating. Mi*, 

sion is a tough team, although the Bears have only one of their 

25-man club that last year won the city championship. 

Watt Only Vet 

Frank Watt will be the only one to return to the Bear lineup. 

Watt is expected to be a sure member of the 1955 All-City team. 

He is the only Mcar with more than a few minutes playing ex- 

perience. 

Spark plugs of the new Mission 

team have been their halfbacks. In 

the Pageant and Washington game, 

hacks EHge Dorscy, Charlie Stew- 

art, and Harold Joseph each ave- 

raged from 3.5 to 5.5 yards. Since 

the pageant Mission has moved up" 

in the ranks to one of the top teams 

in the league. 

In the pageant and first game Watt 

led his Hear team. He not only took 

care of his blocking assignments, but 

he was also on the bottom of 90 per 

cent of the tackles. Along with Watt 

will be Vasarajas, tackle; Ferguson 

and Jones, ends; Bcrto and Maatlia, 

guards; and Domaard at center. 

'Tough League*—Foiling 

In the words of Coach Feiling this 

will be one of the city's toughrst 

years. He said, "Everyone is about 

even, including Galileo and Wash- 

ington .(Washington upset Mission). 

Lowell has a good chance if our se- 

niors come up to capabilities. If so. 

we'll be in the playoffs." 

Experienced Backficld 

Lowell's potential is great this 

year. In the backficld willfbe vet- 

erans Bob Lorn at quarterback, Bob 

Oddone and Tom YasukoctrTat half- 

backs, and Eric Mackintosh at full- 

back. Oddone has an 88-yard touch- 

down to his credit, coming/in the pa- 

geant against Sacred Heart. 

In the Gilroy game Lowell lost, 

25-13. But in the game Eric Mack- 

intosh scored on a 48-yard touch- 

down drive. The other score came 

as right half Tom Yasukochi, inter- 

cepted a Gilroy pass and galloped 

35 yards for the touchdown. Tom 

also kicked the extra point. 

"55 Soccer Team 

May Be Champs 

Two weeks ago, at U.S.F. fic!t!.- 

tbe Lowell soccer team took to the 

turf bound and determined to make 

those playoffs once again. Although 

there arc no real standouts in the 

league, it will be a long, tough jour- 

ney up that ladder. 

Revealing Practice 

Practice unwrapped a well spirited 

ball club and best, of all, a strong 

team desire to succeed this season.. 

Possessing a fair offense, the Lowell 

toes will l>c hard to stop and should 

prove to be higl- scorers in the 

league. On the other hand, the de- 

fense is a bit weak and needs ironing 

out. 

There arc many returnees lo the 

squad this year. Those who saw 

much action last year arc Al and Ec! 

Zalaya. who play right and left for- 

ward; Gus Ortez and Ralph Miran- 

da, wings; Martin Hansen, fullback; 

Jim Xanjo and Steve Williams, half- 

backs; and the team's all-city candi- 

date this year, goalie John Hare. 

New Prospects 

Outside of the returning players. 

15 new prospects arc out fighting for 

positions on the team. Ineligible last 

year, Cy Sinelnikoff, a valuable ad- 

dition to the team, is in there battling 

for a spot on the first team. 

Coach Walt Drysdalc is proud of 

this team and has very high hopes to 

reach the playoffs. In order-to do so, 

Lowell will have to constantly 6ght 

all the way and with the student body 

backing them up,JLhey will never give 

up until they win for Lowell. 

In predicting the final outcome cf 

the city teams this year, we must 

first pick Mission, then Lowell, with 

Washington and Lincoln in the third 

and fourth spots. 

Sports in the Past 

One Year Ago 

One year ago this issue, Lowell 

was preparing for the traditional 

tilt with the Poly Parrots. Lowell 

spirit was high after a 14-14 upset 

against St. Ignatius the week before, 

but the Parrots still remained a ten 

point favorite at game time. 

5 Years Ago 

Five" years ago Lowell's well 

known coach, Mike Voyne,' an- 

nounced this would be the last 

Lowell team he would coach. He had 

been in Lowell for 33 years. After 

a win and a loss the Indians were 

preparing to bcr.t Poly for Coach 

Voyne. 

10 Years Ago 

Voyne said it would be a tough 

league with Poly, Mission and S. I. 

the teams to beat. Stars of the team 

were Johnny Rosckraus and Bob 

Griffins who looked like great col- 

lege material according to Voyne. 

15 Years Ago 

Fifteen years ago Lowell's 120 

pound papooses prepared to face 

Washington's 120 pound Eagles. 

They hoped, said Captain Jim Oni- 

shu, to turn the baby Eagles into 

roast eagle—a la carte. 

20 Years Ago 

This year Lowell has its greatest 

heart break. It was the fourth 

quartet-, Balboa had just punted to 

the Indians in the scoreless game. 

With three seconds to play, Lowell 

tried one long pass. They watched 

as Balboa intercepted and ran 90 

yards to win the game. 

Lightweights Ready 

For Successful Season 

"This team has a good., ciian.ee," 

said Coach Ben Neff wherv asked 

about his twenties basketball team. 

He went on to;.say that he lias many 

good ballplayers. He thinks that this 

team is better than the f cam that 

finished in the first divisioni'last year. 

Among the players that wjjL-be fight- 

ing for first string honori are nine 

from last year's *10*s and/two from 

last year's *20*s. •'.' 

This team docs not lack experience 

as proved at their practices. The 

team will be fed by such 1 1 players as 

Hess, Inoye. Nakai, an! Shaskan. 

Among those fighting ti> make the 

first string are Simi. Hij'rlick, Low, 

Pao, Jacobs, Rose, and Turnbell. 

The other lightweight team, the 

HO's, arc coached by,':Mr! Robert 

Auino. Coach Anino think* that his 

tens arc fair this year and will Rive 

any team a battle. He .say* that they 

are coming along fine at Uieir prac- 

tices. ;; ;.' 

The tens will be/led by such 

players .is Jackson, Col sky, Tendell

Matching of Teams 

The teams are matched for com- 

petition in the following manner. The

scroll has a number on it. He then 

unfurls it and reveals the number to 

the vast audience. The school with 

'number oneTs matched against num-

keep Lowell at the top. 

The term before us presents a 

challenge. There will be rallies, 

ilanccs, and football games. All of 

these events, plus many more, can 

be successes or failures. The only 

way to make this a successful and 

memorable- tcrrn is to get behind 

your class" and school officers and 

teachers and give them all the as- 

sistance possible. 

With many preparations under- 

way for Lowell's Centennial Cele- 

bration, another incentive to do the 

best ever is upon us. The spotlight 

of fame will be on the oldest high 

schvol west of the Mississippi, with 

many~iormcr Lowcllites, journalists, 

and interested persons watching our 

progress. 

It is up to us, each and everyone, 

to keep Lowell at its zenith for an- 

other hundred years.

By ALAN JOHNSON 

Wow, what a shock! I came back 

from a pleasant summer of enjoying 

life to find that we had four (4) days 

to whip a band into shape for this 

mad loot nail pageant bit. (Sort of 

like waking up the morning aftiT. 

like.) 

However, tilings don't look so had, 

and I'm sure that the band, under 

the able leadership of General Krie- 

gcr and Drum Major Lynn Polissar, 

wil make a tine «ur should I sax- 

great?) — maybe even spectacular 

well anyway, a right good showing 

on the field Frid«v. 

I would like to say at this point 

that our band is primarily ;i musical 

outfit rather than a marching unit. 

Whenever it is necessary to march 

at a football game (which happens 

twice or three times a year) we pre- 

pare with a few extr* before and 

after school driHs (as few as possi- 

ble). In this way we endeavor to do 

well for th" school we represent. 

However, the primary function of 

the hand are to rehearse concert and 

training music for whatever perform- 

ance* may conic up, and to provide 

spirit musically at games and rallies. 

As for matching—we believe in 

leaving that to the army. 

In addition to a little studying and 

a lot of having a good time, your 

reporter enjoyed many fine musical 

events this summer. As well as the 

Stern Grove Scries, there were 

Arthur Fcidler's beer garden Pops 

concert ( with corks popping), the 

N'ew York Ballet, and the Civic 

Light Operas. 

Best in the jazzy field were Dave 

Brubcck and Virgil Gonzales at the 

Black Hawk, and Cal Tjader at the 

Macumba. By the way, g«-ab your 

top hat and duck—here comes the 

opera season. 

Plans Completed for Lowell's

32 of H-12 Class on Lifetime CSF Roster 

Sg! Pottj to Lead Lowell 

ROTC Battalion This Term 

During the fail term, the Lowell 

H?t»h R' n*f will be under the guid- 

anc- .ut'i leadership of Sgt. Potts. 

Sjit. Potts is a now officer here at 

well and lie lias planned a few 

rxtra curricular activities for the 

ROTC 

During the semester the regular 

subject classes in courtesy, customs, 

drill, tradition, weapons, marks- 

manship, military tactics, branches 

of the army, maps, liyg : cne, and pho- 

tography will be held. 

Among the extra curricular activi- 

ties planned by Sgt. Potts are drill 

team, officer school, ;oid the NRA 

rifle team. ' 

Thirty-two members of last term's 

graduating class made lifetime mem- 

bership in the California Scholarship 

Federation. . . 

Miss Elizabeth Scott, former CSF 

sponsor, is hoping that this term's 

graduating- class will do equally as 

well. 

No University Trip 

This term ther'i will not be a visit 

to a university by the CSF, bc-ause 

there were two excursions during the 

iast year. Last fall the CSF visited 

Cal and in the spring the society took 

an excursion through Stanford. 

However, there will be a picnic 

How to Make CSF 

In order to make the CSF one 

must make a count of 10 points. An 

A in a prepared subject counts as 

three points, and a B in a prepared 

subject counts as one point. Any 

grade below C disqualifies a person 

from making CSF. 

Lifetime membership is given to 

a pupil if he or she makes the CSF 

four terms after the ninth grade, in- 

cluding once ir 1 the senior year.

'Heckscher Plays 

At the Fairmont 

By Joni Swimmer 

Some of you who have viewed the 

many celebrities In the Venetian 

Room of the Fairmont Hotel, atop 

Nob Hill, have probably never real- 

ized how important the band is to 

the performer. So I decided to go 

behind the scenes and interview the 

almost forgotten man, Ernie Heck- 

scher. 

Krnie Heckscher was born and 

reared in the Bay Area. At the age of 

six he began to study the banjo and 

in three years time played well 

cnongh to entertain the men at Al- 

catraz. 

In 1932, Ernie Heckscher was a 

banjo soloist with the RICO circuit 

and appeared at many local theatres. 

During his freshman year at Stan- 

ford he organized his own dance 

baud. 

This was the -beginning. Soon the 

Heckscher band was being heard at 

the top San Francisco hotels. In 1942 

the band toured the country playing 

big name hotels. A year later Ernie 

Heckscher was in the Army. 

Upon his return a new baud was 

organized. In 1948 he began his suc- 

cessful engagement at the Fairmont. 

The Heckscher band has accom- 

panied some of the most celebrated 

artists in show business. 

When asked who, in his opinion, 

was the most affable performer he 

had worked with, Mr. Heckscher re- 

plied, "They have all been a pleasure 

to work with, but the outstanding 

one, I think, was Peggy Lee." 

The Heckschcrs, Ernie and Sallic, 

live in the Marina with their 12-ycar- 

old son. His wife and he have been 

married tor 17 years, after 'being 

childhood sweethearts. Mrs. Heck- 

scher writes tunes wheh her hus- 

ban I records. Heckscher's other 

hobbius are golf and i'ast cars. 

At the close of the interview Erni 

Heckscher said, "I am very flattered 

you selected me to interview."

"Stay in the rooting section dur-

to do so," concluded Paul.

Indians Hope for Victory 

On the Field and in the Stands 

By CAROLE MORRISON 

Five years ago an event known at* the AAA Football Pageant was 

introduced to San Francisco prepdom. Participating in the annual event 

are the nine high schools of the city. Since 1950, thousands of football 

enthusiasts have jammed Kozar Stadium to witness this thrilling spectacle. 

This pageant—and today will be no exception—is loaded with drama. 

The outstanding thrill is always present. It could be the spectacular per- 

formance of the star, the sensational pass, or the last minute touchdown 

drive. Whatever happens, many thrills are to be expected. 

The pageant has a hundred other things too. To name a few: u?v 

dition, color, and unsurpassed spirit. „• - "'-;. •:_• 

Once again, the "red letter" day is here. This afternoon;,Kexar'-: 

Stadium will be the scene of mass excitement. All trams are doping for 

a victory, and the Lowell Indians are no exception. Along with a winning 

team, we want a winning rooting section. 

Seeing the stands packed with spirited enthusiastic fans is a tremen- 

dous inspiration to She griddcrs. They have a great desire to win for us 

on the field, and with on« hundred percent support from the student body 

victory will be easier. 

For many of you this will be your first pageant as a Lowcllite. 

Make it a memorable one by participating in the songs and yells like an 

"old timer." For you seniors it will be the last pageant of your high 

school years. You, especially, will want to cheer the team on to victory. The 

entire student body should support the Cardinals by yclUng and rooting 

loudly.

After graduation Tom plans to go 

to City College of San Francisco for

dent of the Shield.

a room rep., and Big Sister, and is a 

member of the Block L- 

When asktfi for her pet peeve, Sue

no school spirit. 

Sue is 5 feet 6 inches tall, with 

blond hair and blue eyes .A ferry 

IK- : ndc with the right guy is listed

Low 12 Activities Committee. 

This energetic girl is 5 feet \ l A 

inches tall with brown hair and 

brown eyes. Dancing under the 

stars rates as her ideal date and her 

favorite pastime is getting to school 

early enough to meet Miss Lorigan, 

and going off and on diets. 

Any guy with a good personality

the chairman of the special activities 

committee of the Big Sisters, on the 

Block L, and works in Miss Lorri- 

K-in's office. 

In order for a boy to fit into the 

category of Carolyn's "favorite date" 

he must have a good personality and 

be over five foot seven. There is no 

special place that she likes to go on 

a date, but going for hamburgers is 

highly rated.

papers are among 1 Lowell's best.

ality you'll have a date with Guy. 

This 5 foot 10 inch brown haired 

and brown eyed high senior's favor-

helps in Miss Lorigan's office. What 

you think of that? Pretty, ambitious

Football Team Set for Big Season 

TIME 

€UT 

with BOB LOM 

With the past season's records 

thrown to the wind, t».". Lowell foot- 

ball team is bound and determined 

to make this their year! The team's 

ranks are filled mostly with seniors, 

making 1 for a more experienced and 

unified ball club this year. Yes, this 

team just illicit do it. 

Kor some of our gridiron athletes 

their practice began early in the 

summer months, as they took on 

summer jobs to keep them in tip-top 

shape. Jack Hanson and Eric Mack- 

intosh worked for a brewery, while 

Al Clark and John Debenham shaped | 

up on a steadier sailing around the j 

world. 

Coach Fciling and his boys are ex- 

pecting not only to bring the prr- 

petual Poly trophy back :o Lowell, 

but also that lost championship.! 

Let's show our support by backing 1 

them. 

10s, 20s Promising 

Bright is the outlook for Lowell's 

1955 lightweight basketball teams. 

Experience, tradition, and material 

will n^ doubt give Lowell two top 

contenders for the championship 

crowns. Coach tteuny 'Xcff has the 

utmost confidence in both his 10$ 

and 20s and promises a fine season 

for the teams. 

Soccer 

Last year's play-off team will be 

equaled and even surpassed! This 

statement is not only the paper's own 

opinion, but the opinion of the play- 

ers and Coach Walt Drysdale. With 

spirit like that we can't lose, can 

we? 

This year's team, which is com- 

posed of experienced material, is an 

eager team and a team of ability and 

will surely represent Lowell to end 

through the playoffs. 

Cross Country Green 

Although young and without much 

experience, Lowell's harriers will be 

in there slugging all the way. Coach 

Barney Wolf hopes to mold his team 

into one of the potential leaders 1:1 

the league and is counting on such 

runners as Chavez and Spangler to 

lead the pack. '' 

Green as any team may be, with 

spirit and much hustle they can come 

out on top, and we are sure as the 

season progresses, the latter will 

refer to ihe Lowell Cross Country 

team. 

, Support is Basic 

A point which has been stressed 

for many years is the fact that an 

athletic team needs and wants sup- 

port from the student body. In the 

past Lowell students have respond- 

_.n 

in this city, then make up yoi'r minds 

to support your team, win or lose, 

and the day you do, people will stand 

up and take notice of Lowell teams 

and the valuable school spirit they 

possess. 

Knights of Gridiron Promotes Enthusiasm 

Among High School Football Players 

One of the noblest and most honorable organizations at 

Lowell is the Knightc of the Gridiron. 

Because it has a membership of only 22 boys, it is rather diffi- 

cult to rate an invitation to join thc group. All members must 

be n ihc varsity football team, and must of them arc first string 

players in their senior year. 

To become a member of thc group thc candidate must be 

unanimously approved by members of the K.G.'s and then re- 

ceive an okay from Mr. Feiliiitf. thc faculty sponsor. 

After becoming a member of the K.G.'s. the player receives 

a gold-filled football with thc initials K.G. lettered on it. Me 

has now reached thc highest honor that can he bestowed on a 

Lowell football player. 

When thc organization is finally completed with its necessary 

membership, thc K.G/s get down to business. They arc con- 

stantly on the lookout for methods of not only improving their 

own game, but thc team's as well. 

The main, purpose of the K.G.'s is to help football players, 

not only to play the game better, but to aid them in their studies 

as well. 

Thc Knights of thc Gridiron was started a quarter of a ten- , 

tury ago for thc purpose of promoting interest am!; enthusiasm in KC! M* players, while they practice 

football, and to build spirit for thc team's forthcoming games. utuicr th « keen observation and «uid-

invitation from George Jcssel to take 

part in a Charity Telethon. He re-

Dear Editor: \ 

As an interested Lowell student, I 

would like t" know why the snack 

period i> tiler first period am! not 

.liter sec-mi. 

Lowellites come from all over the 

city, and it takes quite a bit of 

time for some students to get to 

school in the morning. Many found 

that because they left home so early, 

they didn't have a chance to eat 

a full breakfast before they left 

The snack period was started in 

order to give these students a chance 

to cat something before lunch. It has 

now been decided that the break at 

10:50 is too close to fourth period 

lunch to really fill its intended pur- 

pose. Therefore, the snack time has 

been changed to 10 a.m. 

* * • * * 

Dear Editor: 

I would like to know why Lowell 

does not have: 1) "Y" clubs. 2) 

Block Sweaters for the girls, and 3,1 

why the i: is can't go out at lunch 

tune. 

"Y" clubs can be formed if they 

follow the rules set up for such or- 

ganizations. We have not had v'v-m 

at Lowell before because it was; >o 

hard to find a sponsor and a central 

meeting place. 

Contact Miss Lorigan before 

forming such a group to see what 

rules there are. 

The girls wear Block L medalions 

to show they are a member of this 

society. It has not seemed necessary 

to have the sweaters in the past. 

Because Lowell isn't a district 

school, lunch time is about the only 

chance the girls have to "get to- 

gether" during the school day. Also 

many activities and meetings are 

planned for lunch time, and it has 

hot seemed advisable for the girls to 

be oft the campus missing these 

things. 


"Song Shop," the "Guy Cherney 

Wishing Well," anr> "The Guy Cher- 

ney Show." Then a national TV 

break on the George Jessel "The 

Comeback Story.* The response was 

all he could ask for. 

Then for 14 solid weeks at the El 

Rancho on the fabulous Las Vegas j 

;i he competed against the great- 

est acts i» show business nightly. 

Passing through Las Vegas, Art 

Talmadge, vice president ot M.cr- 

cury Records, caught his act and j 

immediately signed him to a cov- ' 

ctcd recording contract. 

First Record 

From coast to coast, Guy was 

again headlining the shows. His first 

record on the Mercury label is "The 

Kcntuckiaii," a tender ballad from 

the motion picture of the same title. 

Already it has sold over 200,000 

copies. 

About three weeks ago Guy re- 

ceived a wire from an arent at the 

United Artists Studios. Only a wc«'k 

before he had read in the newspapers 

that his studio was considering 

making the life story ot the late Bud- 

dy Clark. . 

After hearing Guy's unique style 

the agent knew he would be the ideal 

person to portray Buddy Clark in 

the picture. The final plans for the 

picture are still under consideration 

and Guy seemed very excited about 

them. 

Guy now makes his home in San 

Kraneisc with his wife, Dora Jane, 

and their two sons, David and Jo- 

seph, when he is not touring the 

night club circuit.

TIME 

CUT 

with BOB LOM 

Two Thursdays ago, Lowell won a 

decisive victory over t!ic '54 champs, 

Missi-m, 27-6. Tlie spirit of both the 

team and the student body was high- 

ly commendable. Last Thursday, in 

true L'Mvt'H tradition, we gloriously 

dropped (kerplunk!) our second 

league gime to Lincoln, 3*1-7. Well, 

when we lose, we lose big! 

The rooting section in the past two 

games has been outstanding. The 

spirit u*:*s terrific and lias never been 

better. It really is quite humorous 

Redskins Humble '54 Champs Cardinal 

Beat 

uf 

Dan Rankin (16) charged in to drop Bear fullback Bob Vance. Coming 

up to assist are Jim Escue (27), Bob Kucich (29), and Tony Patch (21) 

how seme 800 people can have that | 

spirit and desire to win, while the 

33 on trie field, who they arc trying 

uiiMicci-sfully to spur o.i, can be so 

listless! 

When asked how he thought we 

played against Lincoln and his out- 

look for the future. Coach Ray Mil- 

ton rashly stated, "What we need is 

a 'Street Car Named Desire/ and 

we better get aboaid today or else!" 

How a team with thrte years* ex- 

perience can let down their coach and 

school again, is beyond all sense of 

loyalty. Let's hope that these words 

are heeded and we, this Lowell or- 

ganization moves toward its poten- 

tial and the championship. How 

about it, guys? 

A New Knight 

Recently knighted in the presence 

of the Lowell gridiron round table 

was Al Clark, quarterback and de- 

fensive end on oar football team. Al 

was the 13th member of the varsity 

to be accepted into the Knights of 

the Gridiron. 

The Knights seen at the last joust- 

ing wore Sir Piiilip Scvicr, Sir Walt- 

er Keough, Sir James Nolan, Sir Eric 

Mackintosh, of Scotland; Sir Lcnith 

Hanson, His Highness Daniel Rank- 

in, Sir Robert Oddonc, of pageant 

fame; Sir Thomas Xyhan, Sir .Robert 

Moo.'c, Sir Thomas Vasukochi, from 

the Island; Sir Peter Pallas, from the 

land of the olives; and Sir Robert 

Lorn, an escapee from Arabia. 

Pullthroughs 

Although not as popular as the 

football team, but much more im- 

pressive, were the Lowell's cross- 

country, soccer, and lightweight bas- 

ketball teams. 

By beating Carimont, Tarnalpais, 

and Lincoln twice, the harriers go 

into their first league meet against 

Balboa, undefeated 1 

1 he Lowell toes really pulled 

through in their w"n over Wash- 

ington. Our hats are truly off to our 

spirited soccer team. 

The lightweight basketball team 

also hasn't let Lowell down. Quite 

the contrary, they, the 10's and the 

20'$, both beat San Mateo and Tam- 

alpais and began their league Tues- 

day against Sacred Heart. 

(Poem to the Football Team) 

••LET'S FIGHT TODAY" 

Although used as welcome mats by 

Lincoln, let's fight today; 

And though our spirit and desire was 

why play at all— 

If it or-.ly takes onc loss to beat us, 

why u'ay at all— 

We're strong, proud and able and 

can play much better ball. 

So reach those playoffs, guy?, and 

we got it made, as they say- 

But first in order to do so, let's fight 

like "heck" today) 

j Spiritless Cards Fall 

Prey to Mustangs, 34-7 

By JERRY REDFORD 

What happened to the high 

spirited Lowell grid machine of th«- 

Mission game? The championship 

rated Mustangs from Lincoln put 

the Cards down 34-7 on October 5 

at Kezar. The Indians played one of 

the most spiritless games ever. Only 

the fax.* hed spirit, remaining and 

cheering until the final gun. 

Lowell's mentor. B:1I Feilinjr, had 

little to say. He said, "the whole 

team hail no life, pep. or spirit. I 

don't know if I have ovcr-workrd 

them or not enough. Xext time out 

we'll l>c better." As he walked away, 

he muttered, "We couldn't l>t much 

worse." 

No Forward Wall 

Main problem of the Indians was 

not having r» strong line. Kxccpt for 

Jim Nolan and Walt Kcough, the 

line is green. Against Mission (pic- 

tu.ed abo\e) the line worked per- 

fectly, allowing them only 98 yards 

•"I'-Oiing. Lincoln gained 390 against 

the Cards. Against the Mustangs, 

Lowell gained 76 yards. 

The Indians were saved from 

further scoring by Lincoln hecuase 

of three fumbles and a pass inter- 

ception. All four were within the ten 

yard line. It could have easily been 

60-7. Lowell fumbled twice but 

neither was costly* . 

The ofiVnsivc line proved to he 

very poor also. •"'The tucks were 

reached before they could reach the 

line o» scrimmage. Speed a:itl power 

wcr*. the only th;::««_?hai tot Sevier 

and Mackintosh through. Loin was 

forced hack -0 yards or more for 

every pass, netting only ten yards. 

Scoted Once 

The Indians «et three drives in 

motion. The T. D. drive carried 76 

yards in 14 plays.Mackintosh burked 

over to culminate the drive. The 

second driv»* ended with the halt 

gun. and the final drive ended with 

;t nimble by Strange. During these 

drives the line work was perfect. 

What happened between drives? 

Frosh-Soph Lose 

To Links, 31-7 

The Lowell frosh-soph suffered 

their first defeat of the new season 

by dropping their game to the Lin- 

coln Mu&tangs, 31-7, on Friday after- 

noon, October 7, at Lincoln Field. 

Lincoln's strong air game was the

Splits First Two 

On Wednesday afternoon, Septem- 

ber 28, the Lowell Indian's junior 

varsity started their scr.son off with 

a 14-12 victory over the Mission 

Hears, at the tatters' home field. 

Lowell Takes Mission 

"Randy Garrison, the JV's quar- 

terback, was exceptionally effective 

with his passing game," stated Coach 

Ray Milton. 

Garrison threw two touchdown 

passes to Tony Patch for Lowell's 

first 12 points. 

Coach Milton pointed out that the 

gamc-winnhig margin was provided 

by At ike Ruclca. "Ruc3:a played a 

good defensive game and rcorcd a 

safely which proved to be the win- 

ning two points/' stated Miltcc. • 

Prospect Out for Season 

Hill Lambert, sophomore; from 

Everett Junior High, and promising 

prospect, broke his arm during the 

game. 

"This unfortunate accident defin- 

itely hurts us," said Milton, "because 

everyone on the team needs each 

other so that the team can function 

"properly." 

Lincoln Drubs Lowell 

In a preview to the varsity game 

on Wednesday afternoon, October 5, 

the Lincoln Mustangs rolled o'-crthc 

JV's by a sc«.-c of 38-6 at Lincoln's 

field. 

In Milton's woV'X "Our sopho- 

more just couldn't co,>c with their 

juniors." : . 

"Kamly Garrison threw a 1H of 

pisses and completed a great deal *,f 

them, but each time we got near tht 

goal line we would have penalties 

called agrjnst us," said Milton.

Soccer Team Finishes 

Good Practice Season 

The Lowell High socer team had 

a very succcsful practice season, as 

they played practically even ball 

against college squads. 

Played San Francisco State 

The team first played San Fran- 

cisco State, but in a hard fought 

game, w-is defeated, 3-1. Then in a 

rematch, the squad showed its im- 

provement by tying the GatO'S, 3-3, 

with Giis Oniz scoring two go;.!; 

and Cy Sinelnikoff ^coring the other. 

Lots of Spirit 

Coach Drysdalc was very pleased 

by his squad's performance in these 

games. Ha says the team posscscs a 

lot of spirit and hustle, and that thyrc 

are no real standouts, but everyone 

tries for the good of the team. 

Some of the players who 1 ',', see a 

lot of action this season include Jim 

Xanjo, Ralph Miranda, Olaf Johan- 

nessen, Leo Hutkovsky, John Tre- 

vino, Martin Hanscn, John Hare, 

Steve Wici, Ed and Al Zclaya, Gus 

Ortiz, Cy SinelnikoO, Eddie Chavez, 

and Fred Becker. 

The soccer squad began the AAA 

season October 5 against Washing- 

ton and played Galileo three days 

ago. Games are scheduled with Ba»- 

j directly through the mail Stars of 

the team were John Brazier, Jerry 

Ladar and Greg De Gcere. 

Ten Years Ago 

Ten years ago the Lowell Indians 

were preparing for their sixth panic 

of the 1945 season against the Wash- 

ington Eagles. Although the -Tribe 

h«n W»y the 

car wasn't registered tê student re- 

plied that In; had purchased the car 

iftcr the K«"eral school car registra- 

tion. 

Dr. Smith would like it made pub- 

lic that a CAT can be registered at any 

time duriru the school ytrar in his of- 

fice. Come in before school, cr at any 

other time you are free during the 

day and obtain your registration 

blank. A Hoard of Education ruling 

specifies that all .students who drive 

cars to or from school must register 

their cars with the school office. Fail- 

ure to observe this ruling will result 

in losing the privilege of bringing 

the car to school. 

Warning 

The dean's office U frequently able 

to warn a person when his lights arc 

left burning or something similar 

happens. This type of service h pos- 

sible only when the car ts registered. 

Parking around Lowell is also a 

problem for Lowell students. Dr. 

Smith stated that s*m!ents may park 

anywhere- in the vicinity ot the school 

as Iniip as they do not block ilrive- 

ways or specific zones set aside for 

other purposes. A car. if it is legally 

parked, cannot be disturbed or given 

a ticket. Officers of the Police De- 

partment have repeatedly shown 

willingness to give «tudcnts a break 

but they are helpless it a car is parkod 

in such a way as to infringe on the 

Winter 

Varieties 

"This should be the best show 

we've had in years,'* state! Mr. Pol- 

land, director of the Winter Varieties 

ni 1955, this week. He added that it 

will consist of 20 acts with each one 

being different ami amusing. 

Unlimited Entertainment 

On the evenings nf Friday. Novem- 

ber 18; Monday, November 21; and 

Wednesday, November 23, the stu- 

dents of Lowell will get their chance 

to see this grand array of talent. 

Some of the performances that will 

be given arc a specialty number by 

Mr. Berry's choir; a saxophone trio 

and string ensemble presented by 

Mr. Krcigcr, Miss Ruehnfs modern 

dance group, and Miss Mrating's 

dancing boys group doing a pastoral 

dance which should surpass the one 

they did for the newcomers. 

Judy Freed will put on one of her 

famous skits. In this onc she will play 

the wife of a henpecked husband. 

Tom Caylor will try his Eiand at buy. 

ing a hat. In this skit he'll show how 

a man would lock if he bought a 

hat the same way a woman docs. 

The finale will be put on by the 

Big Sisttrs in cooperation with Mr. 

Anino. Mr. Anino has made up some 

original songs which will be done 

in u railroad station scene. 

All scenery that will be used dur- 

ing the course of the show will be 

provided by Mrs. Chase's advanced 

art class. 

Ticket Sales 

The first tickets for the Winter 

Varieties will go on sale about two 

weeks before'tlic first performance. 

r i he price for a ticket ;s 75 cents. 

"The varieties arc always a sell- 

out," stated Mr. Polland, "so you 

A list nf regulations concerning 

and governing the use of automo- 

biles at Lowell is posted in Dr. 

Smith's office. 

Citations 

Another fact that is little known to 

i*»ost people is that Dr. Smith has 

the i%ht to issue citations. Dr. Smith 

would like it know... though, that he 

has inner found the Lowell student 

to ttciid move than a word of warn-

We have been fortunate in the past in having a very enthu-

a great deal through this work. 

There arc certain things that are considered necessary in a 

high school but which cannot, by law, be purchased by school 

funds. The PTA comes through for us and helps us purchase 

these necessities.

Dear Editor; 

Why not have a HI day? This way 

Books have been donated to different groups within the we can ail make new friends or meet 

. . . . • certain people. One dav let ths irfrls 

school, and the music department has been given sheet music say .Hr (o (hc boys am, thc ncxt 

and choir robes. Two years ago the PTA presented a new piano let the buys say "HP to ihe «ir!s. 

Another thing I'd like to surest 

i a "Hat Day." Everyone (teachers 

ncludcd) wear a hat fixed up with 

different things on it. Pick five peo- 

ple as winners for the best hats. Give 

them a prize at a rally or something 

along that fine. 

HI-SPIRITED LOWELLITE 

After reading this letter, the idea 

of a HI day—or HOW day on the 

reservation is being considered. 

Thanks for the idea. 

In answer to a letter about Twirp 

Cards on Twirp Day: We didn't 

want to have a Twirp Day if a HOW 

day were to follow- right on its heels. 

It is a tradition at Lowell that the 

high seniors get all "decked out" 

each term on Senior Day. Having a 

"Hat Day" would take away from 

this day that students wait for horn 

the first time they witness this great 

event 

Last Year 

The sectional band platforms to be used at rallies and dances 

were given by this ôrganization last year along with the electric 

score board in the boys gym. Xew eye charts for the nurse's 

office were also furnished. 

The PTA ba? a fund-for student aid; this money is used to 

help students who cannot afford some of the necessities of 

school life. This fund--was quadrupled because of the wonderful 

success of last year's membership drive. 

As you can sec, this organization has helped the school in 

many ways, and the dollar for membership is put to good use. 

100 Per Cent 

This group cannot function without the participation of all 

the parents. Kor. this reason every mother and father is urged 

to join, especiailv because of the coming Centennial. Let's make 

the 100th vear 100 per cent in PTA membership. 

Also, anything of that sort on a 

regular school day distracts the stu- 

dents from their classes.

Attendance Needed 

It really is a shame that this should 

be written twice in a Lowell paper, 

but the fact is. attendance at soccer 

games, lightweight basketball games 

r.nr! cross-country meets is the lowest 

it has ever been at Lowell. If the 

students and teachers would only go 

to these contests they would prob 

ably find them interesting and thrill- 

ing sports and the athletes and-their 

coaches would appreciate every ap- 

pearance made in support of their 

spurt.

Mr. Lucey Appointed < 

New Military Adviser 

"I believe every boy at Lowell 

owes it to himself to investigate the 

opportunities available to him in the 

military service." This is the opinion 

t>f Mr. Paul Luccyt Lowell's new mil- 

itary adviser. Mr. Lucey made the 

statement during an interview in 

which he stressed the importance of 

the new Military Reserve Act. 

This new act makes it possible for 

a person to spend just six months in 

acrve duty and the remainder of the 

time in the active reserves. Under 

this ruling students may enter col- 

lege within six months after leaving 

high school and already have satis- 

fied the full-time military duty re- 

ijiiir^mcnt, which would usually keep 

him from school for several years. 

The student's participation in the ac- 

child very happy. Each registry in 

Lowell was asked to at least fiH one 

that would make some forgotten | live reserve would satisfy the remain- 

drr of thc requirement. 

Mr. Lucey has quite a lengthy rcc- 

."•rd in the service himself. After scv-

Locating "Sir. Ehrman was quite a problem since he teaches mechanical 

drawing and mathematics in three different rcoms during the day. 

In the f'ill of 1953 Mr. Ehrman came lo Lowell and is now enjoying his 

third year here on ihe Reservation - 

Mr. Ehrman is definitely a very capable teacher having attended not 

only one, but four colleges: Antioch College in Ohio, Indiana University, 

Stanford and thc University of California. 

While attcding Lowell as a high school student he hoped that some- 

day he would be able to return to teach. In his opinion thc students are 

thc same today as they were when he w:ni to Lowell. He had this to 

say abour his old alma mater: "It's as nice as it 

have ro school spirit and don't !••*>"

Well, here it is, another issue, and i 

as usual the Big Sisters have been 

doing a great job. 

The latest meetings of the organi- 

zation have been held to find out the 

accomplishments of the little sisters, 

and also to receive any suggestions 

on improving this group. 

Good advice has been given and 

taken! 

AH you Kuie sisters save the date 

of December 3. The Big Sisters are 

giving a fashion show for you. The 

food and entertainment are really go- 

ing to he great. 

Mr. Polland is doing a fabulous job 

in directing the opening of the Va- 

rieties, "A Lowell Girl Is Like a 

Melody." 

Some of the Big Sisters in this 

scenr arc Barbara Bate;, Sus Hurflf, 

Deanna Blight, Roberta Spivock, 

Judy Sirbu, Joyce Robbins, and Nan- 

cy Norton. 

Also, the finale, "Going Home For 

Christmas," is starring the Big Sist- 

ers and Brothers, and is being direct- 

ed by Mr. Anino. Mr. Anino has com- 

posed the song^/or the finale, and 

they arc terrific, 

A new plan h^s uoei added to the 

Big Sister organization. 

If you have ever been to a PTA 

meeting, you have probably noticed 

that the mothers arc having a hard 

time with their pre-school children. 

The Big Sisters have put into ef- 

fect a buby-sitting program to help 

out during the meetings. Here's 

luck, hoping that the plan will work.

Spirited Faculty 

Goes Against the 

Seniors Tomorrow 

By CLIFF BOBROW 

The time has eomc once again for the High V Mightics to 

Uhow the 'old men" of Lowell who are the really superior ath- 

letes. 

Tomorrow, following the Block L rally, the graduating boys 

will undertake the task of beating the "local profs" in the semi- 

annual Senior-Faculty game. 

On the mound for the spirited faculty will be a new pitch- 

ing sensation, "Bullet Bob" Buckley, who has an amazing rec- 

ord of 0 and 0! 

Catching rhe speed-ball pitching of "Bullet Bob" will be the 

old Hum-Diddie himself—Walt Drysdale. 

"Lefty" on First 

At first base will be the dependable and always reliable 

"Lefty'* Feiling; stationed at second base position will be Benny 

"The Arm"NefF; thinl base is backed up by the "teacher of the 

year," Ray Milton; and the shortstop area will be covered by 

"Bouncing" Barney Wolf. 

Distinguished Outfield 

The faculty outfield will be distinguished, if nothing else. 

Lowell's new principal. "Flash" Perino, will start his first game 

in left field. The rest of the outer garden will be patroled by 

"Hi-Fi" Krieger, Bobby Anino, and "Corny" McCarthy. 

The reserve stiength wil be provided by "Peppy" Paul 

Lucey and "Fircy* 1 Ernie Feibusch. 

Composed mostly of ex-football players who turned to base- 

ball as a livelihood, the senior team presents a lineup that is 

slightly balanced. 

The starting pitcher for the graduates will be Lenny Han- 

sen, former tackle on the varsity eleven. Catching 1 for Hansen 

will be Pete Pallas. 

At the initial sack wil! be Eric Mackintosh, who held down 

the fullback position on the football team. Former quarterback 

"Scooter'' Lorn will cover the keystone sack along with short- 

stop Jim Nolan. Al Clark will be stationed at the hot comer. 

Roaming the pasture in left field will be Phil Sevicr;in cen- 

ter field will be John Debenham; in short center will be Skip 

Vargo; and HI right field will be Mike Mattson.

The time has come land it is about

eryone who voted for me in the last

It's Double Lunch Time 

Yes, that's right! Oiriy this time

that only ticket holders of the day's

necessary. The boys don*t play their 

best game of ball when they sec only 

five or six hundred rooters :n the 

stands, so get behind your team and 

show that famous Lowell spirit hy 

attending all the spring sports. 

Let's make this a great term, start-

Letfers to the Editor 

The Lowell is your paper! If you 

have any suggestions or criticisms 

or if you've heard any of the latest 

gossip, just drop a note into the let- 

ter box outside of Room 118. 

Just a reminder. The letter box is 

not a place to throw your old papers, 

and it is not a Federal Mail Box. 

Please mail all your out-going let- 

ters across the street. 

This is a letter 1 received in the 

suggestion box: 

Dear Editor: ; 

"Why can't we have political cam- 

paigns and political parties? Other 

San Francisco high schools have 

them, s*> they must be practiced. If 

we are going to experiment in dem- , 

ocranc government, shouldn't \ c; 

also have experience in all possible 

aspects of government?" 

(Signed) 10 JUNIORS 

To the Politicians (10 Juniors): 

I think you have your information 

mixed up. Yes, it might be true that 

other schools have political parties, 

but they have never worked out. 

Very corrupt and unpleasant things 

have come trom schools that have 

tried this. This way of running a 

school has proved to be very un- 

democratic, as the school is usually 

run by two or three people only. 

As for the political campaigns, 

posters and printed cards usually 

run into too much money for the 

candidates. 

THE EDITOR 

P.S.—Keep the* letters coining. 

As everyone seems to agree there is never a dull moment around the 

Lowell Reservation. 

A very lucky Lowellite is Suzanne Brochard, who left recently to

Her favorite date must be a good 

dancer with whom she would like to 

go to a Lowell dance and then home 

for pickles and strawberries. 

Carolyn's many likes include swim- 

ming, skiing and Lowell rallies, but 

be careful because her pet peeve is 

people with no enthusiasm at rallies. 

She admitted that her weakness is 

food, all kinds. 

SYLVIA NELSON 

"Hi Honey," is certainly the fa- 

vorite expression of Lowell's newly 

elected vice president, Sylvia Nel- 

son Energetic .enthusiastic and al- 

ways smiling is the description of this 

very busy high senior. 

Standing 5 feet 5 inches lull, with 

brown hair and brown eyes, Sylvia 

participates in many activities around 

the Reservation. She is a member of 

thc Shield, Block L, and Biir Sisters. 

When asked what she enjoys do- 

ing most, Sylvia answered, "Talking 

on thc phone." Also included among 

her likes arc eating and a good game 

of hearts.

UNDER THE 

GUN WITH 

JON TOLSON 

U(-od luck to the I.owcl! capers 

who art* making a strong bid for the 

A A A championship. The XcfFmcn 

deserve the Mipporl of the cham- 

pionship team they arc, and it has 

hft-n proven that in a tight contest, 

school and team spirit can mean .'he 

difference between victory and de- 

feat. 

Despite the fact thta our 30's had 

not won a panic until Friday, the 

Lowell basketball teams have been 

the only ones to consistently pull 

through. Last year the 30 f s took the 

championship. Looking over past 

record*. Indian cape teams under 

Coach Xcff have brought 14 AAA 

basketball champoitishtp? in only 28 

years. 

Help from Marina 

Loss of Mel Proscott and Ken 

Bulling leaves a weakness in 

the team's rebounding and scoring 

punch. Jim KIlis, a newcomer to 

Lowell from Marina Junior High, 

will help overcome the weakness in 

those departments. 

Incidentally, the six-two Ellis was 

also a standout in the broad jump at 

Marina. His 20 ft. iump of last year 

was better than that of any Lowell 

trackman. If Coach Xeff could spare 

him. Track Coach Wolf would wel- 

come Jim with open arms. 

New Scoring Champ 

Congratulations to S.I/s Fred La- 

Cour. Frod broke the AAA single 

game scoring record of 36 points 

set by Lowell's Ken Flower. Fred 

hit 39 and his performance earned 

him .i Hrcp of the Week award. 

LaCour set the league's scoring 

record oi 176 points last year and is 

a cinch to break it again this year. 

Coach Ben Xeff has coached such 

greats as Bob Fecrick, Howie Dall- 

mar. Bob Mathcziy, Bob Bondanza, 

Ken Flower, Mike Lcaskou, and 

Clarence Grider, and says that the 

six-five LaCour is the best prep 

player he has seen in 31 years in 


Block Sweaters 

Any new members of the Block L 

who wish to purchase a block sweat- 

er take notice. The sweaters are go- 

ing to be cardinal red from now on 

instead of the conventional white. 

la case you arc having trouble 

finding them, they can be purchased 

at Frcc-Minctti Company on Haight 

Street, Rocs Brothers, and Tcxdahl 

and Johnson's on Mission Street. 

LaCour Has 

Big Scoring 

Lead 

Freii LaCour, the all-city center 

from St. Ignatius, for the second 

straight year, is running aw:ty with 

thc scoring? honor?. 

Big Lead 

LaCour's scoring record to date 

'is phenomenal. He has sunk twice 

as many field g;oals as any other 

player with she exception uf Lowell's 

Tom Meschery. Still, Meschery has 

only iiit J3 field goals to LaCour's 

55. which is quite a margin. LaCour 

is als hit A3 at about an 

SO percent clip. 

T!i all-evcrything center has also 

scored more than twice as many 

points as any player in the league 

but Meschery. Mcschcry's 82 points 

can hardly compare with LaCour's

In Cage 'Big Game' At Kezar Today 

By BRUCE COHN 

Today's the day the Lowell varsity basketball team inctb 

its arch rival, the Polytechnic Parrots, on the hardwood. The 

time of the contest is about 4:30 and the place is Kezar Pavi!ir 

Interesting Game 

It promises to be a very interesting fray, even though both 

teams were hit tremendously by mid-season graduation. 

Lowell and Poly were figured by most of the experts be- 

fore the season began to fight it out for second place in the AAA 

behind St. Ignatius, and it now remains to be seen just who 

was hurt the most by player losses.

Athlete of the Week 

This week the Block L has chosen 

Jim Caranica as the Athlete of the 

Week. Jim's pas: performances in 

basketball have placed him on top 

of all other contenders for the title. 

Jim participated in 10s basketball 

and then following a good year with 

the 30s championship team, jumped 

into a first strim; berth with the 

Lowell varsity. 

In his last two games respectively, 

Jin: \"\s scored 13 and 12 points 

whik it! the league standings, he is 

right up there among the top scorers 

with .33 points, not including the 

Balboa game. 

His fine defensive tactics and 

sharp shooting in the Galileo game 

last Friday was the turning \ *t for 

the Indians' victory. 

Like his twin brother Nick, his 

only desire is to play basketball, 

basketball and more basketball. 

Well, maybe a date now and then. 

It sc :ms this idea of practice docs 

pay off, hub, fellows? At least for 

Jim it did! 

Jim has participated on the Rally 

committee 'here at Lowell and has 

high hopes of either going to the 

University of San Francisco or Cali- 

fornia. With ball playing like he has 

proven* he should have no trouble 

being picked up by a major college. 

Hats off to you Jim! Keep up the 

iinc .-nirit. 

Track Team Up 

And Coming—Wolf 

"A young team that will mature 

with the season, well describes the 

centennial spikemen," says Coach 

Wolf. "The 130*s will be the strong- 

est team but fine performances can 

be expected of the varsity and the 

120's." 

Pacing the 130's will be Pat Kel- 

lehcr and Jack Schwadron in the 

dashes, and Bain! Bramc-r -and Hen- 

ry Kornfeld in the high jump. The 

latter four were all-city last year. 

Ken Bley will compete in the pole 

vault, an event in -which more com- 

petitors are needed. 

Experienced Varsity 

The varsity will be led by Nick 

Caranica and Terry Stephens in the 

shot put, Kuckcrman and Alexander 

in the discus, Pete Williams and 

Steve Muto in the sprints, Blunt 

in the high jump. Hudson and Bush 

in the hurdles, Shoaf in the pole 

vault, and Muto and Kevin Har- 

rington in the broad jump. 

The varsity will be strongest in 

the distance races, thanks to the 

members of last term's cross coun- 

try champs who won the dual meet 

championship. Horace Whcatly, Ed 

Chavez. Bill Morgan, Robert Young, 

and Leo Marline/ are expected to 

take places in their events. 

Washington First 

The spikemen have the disadvan- 

tage of meeting the toughest op- 

position first, namely Washington. 

Coach Wolf would rather have the 

Indians meet the Eagles at the end 

of the season when the ttacksters 

will be at their peak.

Coacli Livingston said that Wash- 

ington is the team to watch for they 

have experience and a lot of depth- 

It should prove a good match, with 

either team taking the championship. 

Other players arc Larry Wcst- 

dahl, Rich Ghcrman, Vic Sashen, 

and Paul Matzger. All matches will 

be held in Golden Gate Park. The 

AAA season opens in March. 

Chance for Championship 

The golf season should proce an 

interesting one with Lowell, Wash- 

ington, and S.I. fighting it out for 

the championship. Washington is 

the defending champion.

Swimmers Looking 

For Championship 

Coach Bill Feiling said this v/eek 

that all three divisions, 20's, 30*s and 

varsity swimming teams, are cham- 

pionship material. "They all should 

come out on, or near, the top." 

Some of the returning veterans of 

the unlimitcds are Peter Klein who 

is a 200 yard free-styler and Pierre 

Canto a 50 and 100 yard free-styler. 

Other varsity swimmers are Craig 

Swanson, a distance swimmer; Pete 

Urrea, individual medley; Ed Mc- 

Kcnna, an excellent breast strokrr; 

and Peter Goorjian, Clifford Sansot 

and Ralph Oilman. 

Ralph G.'lman, up from the 30*s, 

was one of the best frec-stylors for 

the 30*s last year. His rime for the 

50 yard free style was 26.0. 

The 130 pound team, which took 

fifth place last year, have two prom- 

ising newcomers in Slan Koenigs- 

tcrjjer and Rich Pclrovic. 

Ed Shaskan is last year's only 30*sj 

veteran. Up from the 20*s are Mark 

M orris, George Hanson, Samuel 

Peter, und Brad Ni'col. 

Rickey ColsKey, a veteran of last 

year's 20*s, looks like he'll be tops 

again. He is a breast strclccr and 

free-styler. 

All league meets arc held at 

Fleislihacker Pool with the season 

opening in April against Mission and 

admission to all dual meets is free. 

points which gave : : m third in scor- 

ing honors for the game. 

Ned Ward and Nick Caranica 

came through with 10 points apiece, 

Xcd was playing at the forward spot 

while .Xick played guard. Jim Ellis 

played his first high school game 

and scored four points for the vic- 

tor*. 

Flanagan, Volkanoff, and Vcn- 

cenzi hit the most for the losers, 

scoring 15, 10, and 10 respectively. 

The Lowell bench was cleared of 

dry uniforms by the end of the third 

quarter. Xed Ward entered his first 

gnme of tiie season after coming 

back to Lowell after his stay at 

Continuation. 

The Lowell reserves kept putting 

on the pressure till the very end. 

Rich Hudson, Wayne Batmalc, Bri 

Lyttle, and Ralph Daniels showed 

fine defensive work against the 

struggling Lions. 

Weather Hurts 

Baseball Tryouts 

"We'll try o-it best and work our 

hardest, but not having seen the 

rest of the league, I cannot predict 

nur outcome." says baseball coach 

Walt Drysdalc. This comment was 

made after sceeing the first base 

ball tryouts of the season. 

After many cancellations due to 

rain the tryouts were held at Big 

Rec last week. The performances of 

the players there helped determine 

the starting lineup, which still is not 

definite. 

Veterans Return 

The outfield will be covered by 

veterans AI Zelaya and Steve Di- 

mond, and a sophomore newcomer, 

Bob Curley. Curlcy will be the only 

newcomer to start. 

The infield will include Bryan 

Lyttle at first base, Shobar at sec- 

•nd or third, Bryan Gould at short, 

and Jerry Meador at third when he 

is nut pitching. Stamos will be be- 

hind the plate. 

The pitching staff will be fairly 

strong with three veterans return- 

ing. They are Jerry Meador, John 

Trvvino, and Hob Moore. 

J.Vs. 

The boys not making the varsity 

will be placed on the junior varsity 

team, which will be coached by Mr. 

Buckley. The J. Vs. have a regular 

league just as the varsity and play 

out of ttr.vn games also. 

The coach says, "The team is 

shaping up nicely but we need more 

pitchers." If any of you readers can

Lowell's thirties won their first 

basketball game of the season when 

:hey defeated Galileo by a 53-38 

score last Friday afternoon at Kezar. 

Bob Oddonc scorcd 14 points for 

;hc victors, which made him the 

high scorer for the game. Bt'cky 

Reed and George Dagnino added to 

Lowell's score by scoring 13 and 12 

points respectively. 

Displaying a great deal of hustle, 

the "Little Red Machine" was able 

to run up an early lead and stay well 

in front throughout the contest. 

Varsity, 30's Top 

Balboa's Cagers 

Paced by Tom Meschery and the 

Caranica brothers, Lowell's varsity 

baskctballers breezed to their sixth 

straight AAA victory, 44 to 28, by 

downing Balboa last Tuesday af- 

ternoon at the Oly College gym. 

The Indian thirties made it a Low- 

ell sweep by winning their game by 

a 45-34 margin. 

The varsity tilt was off to a slow 

start with both teams having diffi- 

culty in finding: thc range. The Btics 

didn't make their initial score until 

the final 30 seconds of the first quar- 

ter. Thc Indians opening period 

lead was 7 to 2. 

Scoring picked up a little bit in 

thc second quarter to bring the half 

time totals to Lowell 20f Balboa 8. 

The outside shooting of Meschery 

and some driving lay-ups by Nick 

Caranica featured the first half ac- 

tion. 

Balboa came back strong after the 

intermission, closing Lowell's lead 

to 30-21 at The end of the third quar- 

ter. However, thc gap kept opening 

in the final stanza to give the In- 

dian? a clear-cut 16-point victory.

Congratulations Lodlit! «

Congratulations Lowdlites! «,r««,.ry an,! will 1,K tpent 

This is one of the few times in 

history rliat .student body card sales 

have reached 100 per cenr within the 

first two weeks of school. The sales 

have soared to 1703. This is a great 

v:iy to start off thc centennial year. 

Although 1/00 is being counted as 

100 per ceni, there are a few slu- 

dents who haven't bought their cards 

yet. Paul Matzger would like tliosc 

who haven't purchase.! a card to 

hurry up and buy out*. 

This good-looking card, designed 

by Rcncc Klein and costing only 50 

cents, entitles you to see thc basket- 

ball games and track meets, plus al- 

lowing you to attend the tremendous 

Lowell dances. 

All the money from thc sale will 

in cnanv 

different ways. 

The Costs 

The cards will help support the 

basket bat! teams, and also this 

paper costs the treasury, even though 

there is a ten cent charge for each 

edition. 

Your money will also aid the Big 

Sisters, ROTO, golf team, tennis 

team, swimming team, and soccer 

team; the choir gets its share from 

each card, and thc band uniforms 

are also bought with your money. 

The handbook that guided you when 

you were freshmen was paid for by 

Lowell students. 

This is just a rough breakdown.

mentioned are supported by thc safe

mittees were formed and Jim Wein 

bcrgcr was elected president.

ers. This is also the first year that 

juniors were recommended. There 

are 21 juniors. 

In order to be a Big Brother you

arc to help the newcomers who have 

been assigned to him with their 

studies and try to get them interest 

cd in activities and clubs here at 


Other duties aretp keep order at 

be rallies and guard'the outer doors.

newcomers. Here they will compete 

in different track and field events.

Mr. Milton,^snc'asof, said, "This 

should be a successful year for the 

Big Brothers. We have a much big- 

ger group of Big Brothers than we 

have had in a long time, and this 

means fewer little brothers for the 

individual Big Brothers."

the Twirp Dance, track meet, and 

publicity. The members arc Mike 

Rucka, Ken Kelly, Brian Lyttle, Rich 

Guggcnhime, and Russ Janigian.

Newcomers Reception 

Was a Big Success 

All students who arc new to Low- 

ell this semester had a terrific time 

on Wednesday, February 15, during 

thc sixtli and seventh periods at the 

N T c\vcomcrs Reception. 

Versatile Entertainment 

This year the new students were 

entertained with singing, dancing, 

and pantomimes. 

Under the direction of Miss Men- 

sing the Scroll and L put on a spring 

dance (wearing Grecian costumes). 

After tiie introduction by Terry 

Stevens. nrc«*d«!nt of .the Scroll, and 

Bobbie Bates, president of the Shield, 

Richard Price' sang some cowboy 

songs. The audience joined in the 

chorus of "Yon Arc My Sunshine."

Henry Kornfeld played "Autumn 

Leaves" on the piano, and a quar- 

tette—Dick Berk, Dave Rosen. Ar- 

mand Schwartz, and Nancy Dood— 

played a few selections. 

Alice Ann Gray sang a beautiful 

arrangement of "Summer Time." 

Joanie Carr did a pantomime on 

'The Man in the Little White Coat." 

Fashions Were High Class 

Joan Durum and Marilyn Levy 

narrated for "100 Years on the Res- 

ervation," starring the Shield girls. 

Everyone especially enjoyed this | 

as the girls showed the fashions from 

he beginning of Lowell until the 

present day. 

As a special feature they showed 

a Lowell student of the future. 

After the program in the audito- 

rium was finished ,thc newcomers 

ivent to thc armory. The Blue Notes

dent body president said, "Thc New- 

comers Reception was truly a 'bang- 

up' success!" r

Block L Dance and will be held on 

March 16. The dance will -be spon- 

sored by the girls* and boys* Block 

L, in addition to the regular d£r*cc 

committee. 

Thc new idea of having the dances 

sponsored by the different stducnt or- 

ganizations around school seems to 

be a good one as shown by thc suc- 

cess of the first Lowell dance spon- 

sored by the CSF. 

Mr. Antno, social activities advisor, 

said, "It*s expected to be as big a 

success as the Arabian Ntght dance 

held on February 17. 

This dance comes after the first 

report card period, so we- hope all of 

_»ou will -be «tu!c lu'celcuiaic " . 

Thc dance is sure to be a sellout, 

so be sure to get your ticket early. 

Tht- tickets will be sold by all thc 

members of the dance committee In 

rcg, and befveen classes and lunch 

periods. Tickets are only 50 cents, so 

start saving.

LaCour-Meschery 

Alter recuperating Irani our heart- 

breaking loss to St. Ignatius. I hap- 

pened to pick up a copy of San Fran- 

cisco's most famous independent 

newspaper, which I won't mention 

by name. I turned to the sports page 

and what I found there really made 

me mad. 

On the second pane there was a re- 

cap of the Loivcil-St. Ignatius game. 

Within this article, near the end, 

there was a paragraph concerning 

the duel between Meschery and La* 

Cour. The key sentence of the article 

read to the effect "Although bottled 

up quite well by La Cour, Mesc'icry 

managed to score 15 points." 

Xot only was this information de- 

ceiving, hut it also led me to believe 

that the author of the article didn't 

attend the game The game scemc'j 

to prove that LaCour was overrated 

or Meschery was underrated, and 

after much thinking, ..ie latter seems 

more probable. 

First Half Is Meschery 

During the first half the game was 

all MescherVs. From the opening tip 

Meschery was otitjumping the "Big 

Cat" and continued to do so through- 

out the game. 

It was'Ouiy hue in the second half 

that LaCour lived up to his repu- 

tation, when he maneuvered by his 

dcfendeis for easy lay-ups. In the 

final minutes he scored six points, 

which game him the scoring edge 

over Meschery, who was even with 

La Cour most of the game. 

Cagcrs Get Support 

Each year, as the Lowell eager.* 

are hanging up their trunks and 

ked?, other teams are taking the field 

The men of the hardwood play he- 

fore more than 10,000 loyal, cheer- 

ing, spirit-building fans. 

Minor Sports 

In the months to come many other 

teams from the Reservation will be 

working to represent Lowell in their 

respective sports. N 

The track teams practice at the 

Polo Field and have their meets at 

Kezar Stadium. In case you have 

never witnessed a track meet you 

have really missed .•something. 

Track possesses the excitement of 

a football game, the suspense of a 

championship golf match, the speed 

»>f Jai alai, and what's more, doesn't 

cost a cent to sec. 

This term let's all stop following 

the tradition of not supporting the 

minor teams and let the athletes see 

someone rooting them on besides 

the coaches 

Also, for free, you are given the 

privilege of seeing tin; swimming

Lowell Grad Gould Is 

Praised by Cal Coach 

Several dsys ago. Track Coach Woli received a letter from the 

former Olympic team coach and head track coach at Cal, Brutus 

Hamilton. The message concerns a Lowell graduate of last year, 

a student, who, while at Lowell distinguished himself not only 

as an outstanding athlete, but as a superior scholar as well. 

This letter should not be taken as a praise for Stewart Gould 

alone, but rather for the many students that Lowell has turned 

out in its 100 years of existence. The letter reads as follows: 

Mr. Bernard Wolf 

Track Coach 

Lowell High School 

San Francisco, California 

Dear Barney: 

I know you will want to share with rne som; of my jubilance 

over the remarkable record being made by your protege, Stewart 

Gould. This outstanding young man has just completed his first 

semester of work at the University of California. He made his 

cross-country letter; he was active in various other student extra- 

curricular affairs; and more important, he made a straight A cover- 

age. I doubt if more than ten students in the whole University 

achieved that academic eminence last semester. 

He is a delight to have on the campus and he will go far. He 

is onz of the most outstanding men it has ever been my privilege 

to work with and it is a joy to have him here on the campus. I 

just- wanted you to know how very proud all of us are of him. 

Thanks for helping to direct his eyes toward the Campanile. My 

very best to you and ycurs. 

Sincerely,

Dear Editor: ^members, and not the entire student 

Honor System Study Halls 

A very controversial subject these 

iJays is "should we, or should we 

not, have students run the study 

halls?" This sort of "honor" sys- 

tem has both good ami bad advan- 

tages. 

For Study Halls 

1. Oit the positive and more opti- 

mistic side is the fact that Lowell 

Mudcnts will be obligated to apply 

ir.orc self control and a .qxc.it deal 

more consideration for their col- 

lea gues. 

2. Most young a Jults nowadays 

arc seeking independence, and n part 

of independence is facing respon- 

sibility. Student governed study halls 

r.rc another way for Lowell pupils to 

take over their own affairs independ- 

ent of teachers and parents. 

Against Study Halls 

1. The study halls are difficult to 

keep orderly now. even with capable 

teachers in charge, so there is no 

telling how the students would react 

to such liberal conditions. 

2. Students attempting to study 

would be subject to unnecessary and 

needless noise by selfish and less 

earnest students. 

To find the exact answer it is in- 

evitable that experimentation should 

be made. For a tr:al period of perhaps 

six weeks, the students of the study 

halls should be allowed self govern- 

ment with, of course, one pupil in 

charge to take Toll. a.nd in general, 

t?ke the place of a teacher. 

The trial period can be the actual 

test. Tf the study halls are orfianized 

«-.nd qu:et, there need not be teach- 

ers in them in the future. 

From Sue 

To You.• • 

BySUEFIGEL 

Tt seems a bit oiT-color that in a 

school such as ours, one that em- 

phasizes democracy and democratic 

ideas, should openly defy it in their 

election of student body leaders. 

That is, there is no provision in 

j the Lowell High School Constitu- 

I tion, or at any rate, the* copy oi the 

constitution that appears :n the Low- 

| till I tandbook, lor the election of song 

leaders; nor is there a provision for 

| their election by the Executive Board 

| inclusively. 

1 Sincerely. 

B.D. 

Dear B. D.: 

Because there were no provisions 

in the constitution for the election of 

song leaders, and it was apparent 

j that the student body did wart them, 

[ last term's Executive Board decided 

that the election of the song leaders 

for this semester irould be held by

Weekend in Asilomar 

The American Friends Society is 

sponsoring a convention to be held 

March 23, 24, and 25. The theme of 

the convention will be "Our Ameri- 

can Heritage—Freedom for All." 

Some 500 high school students 

will travel to Asilomar for a week- 

end of fun and learning. The high- 

light of the convention will be the 

guest speaker, Ralph Bunche. 

Mr. Bunche, Undersecretary of 

In 1856, when Lowell was first 

railed Union Grammar School, it had 

the same traditions that we have now. 

Those standards established 100 

years ago have passed the eras of the 

"gay nineties,** the Charleston, the 

"Sloppy Joe" sweaters, the feather 

hair cuts, and the Bermuda shorts. 

Lowell has so many traditions that 

it would take a book to write them 

all down, but here are a few every- 

i day happening* that are as much a 

part of Lowell as the bronze bust of 

James Russell Lowell is a part of the 

entrance hall: 

The gathering of friends on the 

Ha\es Street steps and in the main 

hill before school (I'm sure Mr. Pc- 

rino would prefer the headquarters 

for this meeting :o be changed to the 

>econd floor); the ticket sellers, sell- 

ing their Centennial seals and stick- 

ers (buy yours today and help ad- 

vertise the 100th Anniversary of 

Lowell); the reading of the bulletin 

in rcg (while students are trying to 

get their first period homework); 

gym period, and the rush to get out 

of those gym suits to meet that "cer- 

tain someone** before class; and the 

opening of the rallies with the "EEE 

Rah" and the "On, On Cardinals." 

But there is one thing that shows 

the high tradition of Lowell. It can 

be seen by one who views a rally 

from an office window. He may miss • 

the entertainment, but he sees some- 

body. 

The revised constitution is now at 

the printers. The procedure for elect- 

ing song leaders by the Extcutive 

Board is included in this constitution.

William Campbell Talks Abouf His Career 

The latest movie of Bill Campbell 

is certainly nothing by which to 

gauge li!S real personality. In "Cell 

2445" 3ie portrays Carl Chessman, 

and in sonic of his other pictures the 

role of the killer or "badman." 

If you have never seen him, he is 

s;x feet tall, dark, and 29 years old. 

To bad girls—he is also very hap- 

pily married. 

Mr. Campbi'.ll was in town to pub- 

licize the opening of his new movie, 

"Backlash." It will be at the Golden 

Gate, around March 2S. The story is 

a mixture of revenge, murder, and 

hate. 

Some cf his movies have been 

"TheHigh and Mighty/' "Man With- 

out A Star," and "Running Wild." 

He said his dramatics school and 

stock company training really paid 

off; as in ihc road tour of "The Man 

Who Came to Dinner" he was dis- 

covered bv Hollywood.

infr to the need of more trained per-

The high school curriculum has been 

subjected to critic:sm because there 

seems to be fewer students interested 

in these fields. Lowell students may 

be interested to know of the accom- 

plishments of some of its graduates

rage, the juniors or the seniors. 

The results arc being posted on the

of the exercises and techniques done 

every day at dancing.

For Guys Only 

By DICK BLACKWELL 

Xow that you have read th;s col- 

umn before, you get the basis of how 

I i>Ian it. I would gladly accept any 

dcas or suggestions for this article. 

You boys who have cars, and would 

like to tcil about them, just send a 

letter to me with what information 

you would like to expose. 

The Klothes Korner 

This issue I decided to take one 

boy and talk about the different 

lothes he wears and you try and 

find out who he is. The name of this 

person will appear in ihc next issue 

of The Lowell. 

The boy I shall describe is very 

stylish; he wears the latest in school 

and dress togs. One hint that should 

help you is that he is a high senior. 

Occasionally you might see him 

wearing sun glasses. 

Mr. "X" wears Ivy League pants, 

(the olive drab one?) sharp looking 

three button sport coats, and brand 

new palomino shoes. Our tog master 

wears the latest styled shirts, and 

also is one of the very few who has 

an alpaca sweater. Guess who?? 

The Kar Korner 

Sandy Boccara's '30 Ford has bt/;n 

driven into the "news circle" this 

week by setting the fastest mile rec- 

ord by crossing the finish line in 25.9 

seconds. Sandy says, "It's nothing 

out of the ordinary, completely stock, 

except for a bcrmuda bell." 

He explained, "I believe what gave 

the car that extra speed was that 

air scoop on the hoed." The newest 

addition on Sandy's car is the new 

1956 license plates. Hope you break- 

more records, Sandy. 

The Spocts Koruer 

This time I would like to take the 

four legged animal into considera- 

tion. It seems horseback riding is a 

favorite pastime with many girls at 

school. I will say this for it, you boys 

should try it, it's a lot cf kicks. 

There are stables located all 

around the Bay area, and there are 

quite a few right here in the city: 

The rates are higher in the city, so I 

would suggest you go across the 

Bay for better scenery and less ex- 

pensive horses. 

See you next time ... 

For Dolls Only 

By PHYLLIS GURVITZ 

"To Pay or Not to Pay," that is 

a serious problem around the Rcscr- 

vation for Adricnne Rose, Idelle 

Levyt and Rhoda Cohan, It seems 

neither Adrienne nor Idells will pay 

for a rented costume. Girls, fork it 

out and quit arguing already. 

Can You Picture... Bonnie's name 

being Butcher instead of Baker? .. , 

Julie's name being Green intscad of 

Brown? . . . Darnielle's name being 

Animal instead of Toy?... Beverly's 

name being Lost instead of Won ...

ter? ... or Sylvia's name being Food

When a person says to you, "I hope 

you don't mind me telling you this," 

usually you will. Well anyway—Jo- 

anne CIdudio, I hope you don't mind

Word from the Herd—Joni Swim-

In Conference at Asilomar 

By Joni Horowitz

Friday, April 6, 

TOTEM POLE 


Well, it's time to get back to the books now after a glorious week of 

vacation. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter vacation! 

It seems that Miss Sink's seventh period gym class was very good in 

the last year. So good, that they were paid a visit by the Easter Bunny. 

^—*— ——*- Easter eggs were hidden throughout the gym and 

locker room. It was then up to the girls to see who 

could find the most eggs. A prize was awarded to the 

winner. 

Before the Bliock L dance, Jim Hurwitz was 

sunrpriscd at a dinner party given in honor of his 17t 

birthday. Seen at the dinner and then later having . 

great time at the dance were Kit Cole and Diane Ko 

rowitz. Bob Minncy (grad) and Marty Pyle, Terr; 

Stephens and Carolyn Hand (Burke's), Kevin Har 

rington and Sharon Johnston, Dave Flinn and Bluett 

Karpc, Ren Bachman and Sue Ginsberg and Jim': 

date, Marilyn Munter. 

To celebrate the birthday of Hilda Losada, a smal 

party was held at school for her friends. Those en- 

joying the cake and wishing Hilda a "happy birthday" 

were Sagrario Baltadano, Norma Baltadano, Teresa 

Hille'orandt, Grace Starbird, and Lillian Fernandez. 

The final Junior Assemblies party was held at the 

St. Francis recently. Sally Arquette, Larry Draper 

Craig Swanyon, Lynn Griffith (Burke's); Carl Berry, 

Diane Johnson;; Susy Friend, Al Clark (grad); and 

Gstrvin and John Debcnham all agreed it was the best Junior As- 

25. The highlights of the conference 

were the speeches given by Dr. Ralph 

Bunche and Dr. Harry Mescrve. 

Our bus arrived at Asilomar at 

seven o'clock Friday night We reg- 

istered in the Administration Build- 

ing and were assigned to our rooms. 

After dinner the opening session of 

the conference began. We were in- 

troduced tc the speakers, discussion 

lenders, counselors, and students. 

Interesting Film 

Dr. Allen Longshore introduced 

a film: "Freedom to Read," which 

dealt with the problem of banning 

books from public libraries. Jenny 

Vincent, a wonderful singer of folk 

songs, entertained. We played games, 

drank punch, and danced until 11:30, 

when we went to our dormitories to 

check in with our counselors. 

Saturday morning found some of 

the students at a voluntary silent 

meditation in the chapel. After 

breakfast a general session was held 

in Merrill Hall. Dr. Harry Meserve 

spoke on "Individual Liberty in the 

United States." His speech was fol- 

lowed by a question period. 

- vacation Marie Key gave a party to celebrate the USF 

: . • _"mg;?cr celebrate were Sue Ferrogarrio and Gary Gilmore 

^ . A:ma Key and Dick Detch (USF), Carolyn Carson and 

*K. _.. .j ery (Santa Clara), and Ann Duggan and Carl Boldt (USF). 

A good time was had by all who attended Sue Gile's tea on March 

31. A few of the girls who attended were Alary Lou Arosio, Arlecnc Fow- 

ler, Anita O'Brien, and Diane Buitoloph. 

The theme of the Block L dance was "The Olympic Frolic.** Decora- 

tions representing- the Olympic Games adorned the walls of the gym to 

give affect. During the intermissions, seen talking about their plans on how 

to spend their Easter vacation were Marilyn Bra verm an and Russ Jani- 

gian, Lee Labe and Bob Moore, Nancy Scheeline and Pete Carr, Vicki 

Green and Rich Canatella. Judy Conn and Stan Kocnuzgsbcrger, Susie 

Lindner and Jeff Benuinger, Robbie Amsler and BUI Stamos, and Barbara 

Leland and Marsh Platt. 

Many Lucky Lowellites bad the pleasure of taking a trip over Easter 

vacation. 

At 10:30 we went to our assigned 

discussion groups to discuss "Great 

Issues in American Freedom." From 

11:30 to 2:00 o'clock we swam, 

played volley ball., football, Softball, 

or horseshoes. We also managed to 

squeeze in a little time for lunch. 

The moment we had been waiting 

for had finally arrived. We returned 

to Merrill Hall to meet a man we 

will never forget. Dr. Ralph Bunche, 

undersecretary of the United Nations 

Stimulated by Dr. Bundle's talk, 

the discussion groups met once again. 

This time to discuss "Great Issues 

in World Freedjm." Following the 

discussion groups, we once again had 

time for recreation. Dinner was 

served at six, followed by a "Town 

Meeting." At this meeting a ques- 

tion was asked of Dr. Bunche by 

each discussion group. 

Sunday 

Before breakfast, silent meditation 

was once again held in the chapel. 

Following breakfast David Romeis, 

assistant chaplain at Stanford Uni- 

versity, conducted an interfaith ser- 

vice. The last session of the confer- 

ence was a panel discussion, "Where 

Are We Now?" Members of the 

panel were Dr. Bunche, Dr. Henry 

Gunn, Palo Alto superintendent of 

schools, Lawrence Speizer, attorney 

for the American Civil Liberties 

Union, Kay Ferbcr, a student from 

Los Angeles, and Reginald O'Brien, 

a student from El Cento, 

Suitcases were packed an.I a bar- 

becue lunch was eaten w;th sadness, 

for we realized we would soou be 

leaving Asilomar. Asilomar—where 

we had learned that, regardless of

remember the walks r.long the pic-

dormitories (after lights out, the 

standing ovations given to Ralph 

Bunche, and the conference which 

had not given us answers to our 

curious minds, but a means for find- 

ing answers.

is over, and you've all had

Thanks tc Mr. Milton's third

many letters. 

Dear Editor: 

I have heard that Lowell receives 

papers from other high schools 

around the city and state. Why are 

they restricted to just the journalism 

classes? Could they be put in the 

Mbrary for us to sec? I'm sure there 

re many students at Lowell who are 

interested in other school papers. 

Marilyn Munter 

Marilyn: 

Thanks for the great idea. The 

eason for restricting these papers to 

lust the journalism classes is we 

didn't think other studentf*r i ' l o you, the student body, consider 

the- paper as something that would 

not: be missed if done away with? 

O^ do you fee! that The Lowell is 

ah essential and entertaining part of 

school life? 

What Would 

You Do With a

Several students were asked what 

they would do if they were given a 

mar3cenossenschaft. Dig these crazy 

Emery Ottey: I'd blush as usual.

What's been happening in the 

j.p>rts re.'ibn on the In-iian Reser- 

vation the past leu* weeks? Read ou 

an*! get the news within the news. 

GOLF — The golf team's chain • 

pi\>tts.htp hopes will be hurt slightly 

by the loss of sixth man. Rich Kan- 

del. Kandcl was injured before East- 

er vacation and must lay off golf for 

at least the remainder of the season. 

Mike Tan/cr will be Rich's replace- 

ment. 

BASEBALL—Hicliard Price, low 

senior class president, will pitch for 

the varsl.y baseball team, replacing 

Student;'Body President Hob Moore, 

who was declared ineligible because 

of hi.*, age. John Trcvino, another 

veteran pitcher, was also ruled out 

of competition because of his grades. 

It appears that all of the varsity 

pitching will be done by veteran 

Jerry !kf.cador and newcomer Price, 

with possibly a little help from Eri 

I.yttle. first base All-City candidate, 

who might double as a pitcher. 

AUTO RACING? —The afore- 

mentioned Rich Price took third 

place out of a field of 28 competitor $ 

in a driving safety run sponsored by 

the Junior Chamber of Commerce. 

The entry's, all from San Fran- 

cisco high schools, drove over a 

charted ?$-mtle course, the driver 

having the time closest to the time 

figured it should safely take for the 

run being the winner. 

Rich won a phonograph tor his j 

performance. Also representing: Low- 

ell were Steve Cohen and Dick Ebert. 

TENNIS—Jim Watson. Lowell's 

first man, ?s the second seeded junior 

Lowell Takes on Championship-Bound S.H. 

Af Golden Gate Park's Big Rec Today 

**\ 

A ball panic with its destiny al 

most already marked is the Lowell 

Sacre;! Heart game. Sacred Hea;* 

picked to be this year's AH-Citj 

champs. The two teams will oppose 

each other at Biff Rec today. 

Teams Will Be in Shape 

This is the second league game 

for both trams. Lowell has come 

ip -Trains: the Lincoln Mustangs 

while the Irish have played Mission 

'•acred Heart has plenty of prcat 

prospects such as Art Orrante. who 

will lead the Irish attack. 

Much skill should be exhibited by 

the Trish, with the coaching of Dick 

Murra>. The Indians have a group 

of veterans that should be able to 

hold the team to.cr^ther. An upset 

could be seen, but it is vfiry doubtful. 

Lowell's hopes rest on such play- 

ers as Bri Lyttlc, Jerry Meador, Bob 

Curlcy, and Bill Stamos. Sacred 

Lowell Saved 

By the Rain 

The wet Washington-Lowell base- 

hal! gAme was cut short on account 

of rain. The score at the end of al- 

most four complete innings was 5-2, 

Washington's favor. The game was 

nla\ed at Big Rec on April 10. 

The game was delayed in the first 

inning because of a hea\*y drizzle. 

The umpires decided to let the 

Heart will have such slars as Frank 

Zupo and Bill Solo. 

Big Loss of Players 

Spring graduation, which can 

ecled out Bob Minnsy, made a de- 

cisive dent iii Lowell's strength. Also 

departed from ihe team arc Rog Ry-

Win; Varsity Meets Defeat 

Lowell's lightweight track squads 

remained in AAA championship con- 

tention by splashing their way to vic- 

torj* over the St. Tgnatius Wildcats 

April 12 on a muddy S.I. Field. How- 

ever, much of the sparkle of the vic- 

tories were taken away by the fact 

that the varsity was toppled by the 

'Cat unlimitcds. 

20*s and 30's Margin 

The 20*s powered their way past 

the 'Cat 20's by z 47-21 margin, while 

ihe 3(}'s impressed with a 69-24 vic- 

tory. The S.I. varsity's win was by 

64-49. The two wins were the second 

in a row for both lightweight teams. 

In the 30 s competition Lowell 

runners took first in eve'ij c*.*;!?i ex- 

cept the 880. Outstanding were Pat 

Kelleher, Jim Caranica, and Jim 

Bush. 

Kcllchcr was the only double win- 

ner for the 30*s winning the 100 and 

the bread jump. Caranica broke the 

school record for the shot by put- 

ting it 52-10, while Bush's 9.5 in the 

70-yard high hurdles is also a now 

school record. 

Six First Places 

In the 20's division the Redskins 

took six out of the tight first places. 

Outstanding was Ed Jackson, who 

tossed tho shot 45-11 to break the 

school mark.

The lucky winner of the contest 

sponsored by The Lowell staff is a 

cute hiph sophomore, Leonora Han- 

scn. Peaches, as she is called by her 

friend?, was quite thrilled (but a wee 

bit embarrassed) when she found out 

that she h::d won* 

Identified Personality 

Leonora correctly identified the 

mystery personality as Lewis Ep- 

stein; in addition she suggested that 

a poll be taken asking the Lowell 

boys their pet peeves about the Low- 

ell girls and vice-versa. 

Winning the contest entitled her 

to a date with Terry Stephens. Al- 

though it was quite a let down to 

Terry, a night date was prohibited by 

school rules. After school earlier this 

week, Terry and Leonora were seen 

sipping sodas at the Lowell Phar- 

macy at the expense of The Lowell 

staff. 

Thanks 

The staff wishes to thank all the 

kids who entered the contest. We 

wish everyone of you could have 

won. 


Pear Editor: 

We are four desperate high senior 

girls. Our problem is this—The" 

Senior Prom will soon be here. We 

do not think it is democratic for the 

high senior boys to take younger 

girls." There arc many H12 girls who 

need dates and they think the high 

senior boys should ask them. 

We want results—and soon. 

High Senior Girls 

Dear High Senior Girls: 

You may be right about it being 

unfair for the high senior boys to 

take younger girls to the prom, but if 

these boys are going around with 

girls in lower grades, it is only fair 

that they should take them. 

As for you being desperate,.*hat is 

quite untrue- You a>e four pretty 

girls and have great personalities. 

Try being a little more friendly to 

everyone, and don't be so particular, 

and I'm sure some of these high 

senior boys who don't have dates 

will pull through and ask you. 

Good luck, and don't worry. You 

can always ask outsiders! 


"Twenty-nine days 'li* school's out/' is the cry of every Lowell student

Recently The Lowell received a 

itter from the California Associa- 

rni of Student Councils. 

This organization is sponsored by 

ic California Secondary School Ad- 

linistrators for the purpose of (1) 

living student problems, (2) bctter- 

the student-teacher relationship, 

md (3) promoting better citizenship. 

"There .are approximately 450 

ph schools in California. Thirty- 

|wo per cent were members of C.A. 

J.C. last year. 

"The state is divided into 22 dis- 

tricts. The districts operate on a 

:!ose to home more personal basis, 

'he districts in turn are divided into 

ive regions where stale officers arc 

•tcctcd to form the cabinet. 

"The state cabinet is the repre- 

sentative, and thus all CA.S.C. 

ncmbers are represented to the 

sponsoring body. 

"Within each district and region 

inferences arc held, where a num- 

Ihcr of students attend. Students who 

ittend these conferences return able 

Ho /act their problems, wanting to 

iconic better school citizens." 

The CA.S.C. hopes to achieve 

[their goal by obtaining the 1956 goal 

[of 100 per cent membership in their

Judged winner by having the most 

correct answers in the last puzzle. 

She will receive a 1956 Centennial 

Yearbook. 

The contest started in the second 

edition of The Lowell this term and 

ran in the next four issues. The stu- 

dents who entered Ihc contest had to 

fill out the puzzle and put it in the let- 

ter box. 

There were 27 winners of the first 

puzzle, 20 winners of the second puz- 

zle, and 11 winners of the third puz- 

zle. As the contest progressed the 

question* became more difficult and 

therefore eliminated a few students 

each time. 

Ko one completed the final puzzle, 

but June had the most correct an- 

swers.

For Guys Only

iSfudenfs Participate in 

{Discussion About Religion 

Many Lowel! students participated 

in a seminar at the Jewish Commu- 

nity Center, headed by Karl Raab, 

(prominent leader in human relations, 

[arid Eugene Block, well known news- 

paper man, on April 15. The prob- 

Wm of religion in the public schools 

was discussed. r-~. 

Opposition 

On the whole, those taking part in 

the discussion felt that it should be 

the church's place to teach religion, 

not the public schools. 

(The genera; concensus of opinion 

regardi,tg merely a prayer in the 

morning was that no such activity 

should be conducted. Praying,; they 

felt, would become automatic and 

the very idea of installing- a better 

religious feeling upon the student 

would apparently be defeated. 

Religions Object 

•Certain religions would object to 

the contents of an inspirational pray- 

er daily. Mixing'the affairs of the 

church and the state would not be a 

wise policy. 

There would be problems as to 

what religious group would choose 

the prayer. Students thought it would 

be wortlr.vhile thowever, to teach re 

ligios history and background, i 

done under the auspices of capable 

leaders. 

Moral Discussion 

Discussion concerning moral val 

ufs, i.e., good versus evil, would b< 

beneficial as a step towards higher 

ideals, and indirectly would creat 

an interest in religions, and this way 

would ploasc all religious groups. 

Some representatives from I.owel 

who took part in the seminar wcr 

Jeanne King, Bobbie Cohn, Gwen 

Davis, and Steve Hone. 



Hi! Welcome to another issue of 

"For Dolls Only". I'm glad to find 

that you're still reading this column. 

And now onto the news. News?? 

High Senior girls, excited and 

anxious for the long awaited day, 

graduation, seem to have taken up 

a new chant that goes something like 

this: 

I Am A Senior 

I never study, 

I always flunk; 

I come to school 

In a heap o' junk. 

I flirt with boys. 

And laugh at teachers, 

Ignore the freshmen, 

And all such creatures. 

I borrow erasers, 

I mark up walls, 

And cut up carpets, 

In long dreary halls. 

Ain't I got lot of brass? 

I'm one of the girls 

In the senior class. 

Many Foreign Students 

Now Attending Lowell High 

The members of the faculty and 

student body of Lowell are very 

proud and happy to have many for. 

cipn students attend Lowell. Four 

high senior girls were very surprised 

to he interviewed for The Lowell. 

Teresa HiMcprandt 

Teresa Maria HilL*prandt,a native 

of El Salvador in Central America, 

likes the United States very much. 

She noticed a distinct difference in 

the school training program of each 

country. In El Salvador, she attend- 

ed Colcgio, which is a Catholic 

school with the elementary, junior, 

and senior high grades unified in one 

building. In this Colcgio, the in- 

structors choose all eight of the sub- 

jects for the students. Teresa appre- 

ciates the elective system we have 

in our high schools. 

This five foot, four inch, brown- 

eyed girl with black hair, likes the 

friendly people in San Francisco. She 

intends to enter City College of San 

Francisco to study business adminis- 

tration. In approximately three years 

she will return to El Salvador. 

Fernandez, Sandy Sherman and Bil 

Lambert, and Oro Haim and Mickey 

Morris. 

Everyone at the dance was enter 

aincd by the harmonious voices o 

Sally Pcarce and Karmalcc Hanson 

They sang two songs entitled "Jun 

s Bustin' Out All Over"and "People 

.Vill Say WcVe In Love." 

Fashion: Show 

Saturday, April 21 f the Counctl- 

cttcs presented their annual spring 

fashion show. It was held in th 

Venetian Room of the Fairmon 

Hotel. Some of the girls who model 

cd the latest creations were Brend 

Gilman, Joan Strauss, Carol Blum 

field, Frieda Levin and Valeric Gold 

man. .. 

A few of the girls that attended 

the fashion show were Ann Knced- 

er., Gaylc Bcrclson, Valeric Harris, 

Angela Kaurman, Sue Honig, Ann 

Honig, and Fran Newman. 

A surprise party was given for 

Reinar 2:ef by Ken Poise. Seen 

popping the surprise on Reinar 

were Gary Golden and Lorrie Levin, 

Doug Jacobs and Hillary Field, Phil 

Michaels and Bobbie Noodlcman. 

Brianc Barm and Ed Shaskan and 

Judy Cohen and Stan Kocnsbcrgcr. 

April 21 was the night for the 

Beau Ball"; Some of the couples 

seen there were 'Hermine Rosinsky, 

and Bob Buckman (Oakland High), 

Chcric Singer and Ron Rosêrg, 

Judy Korss and Larry Tambor, Syl- 

via Snoren and Bruce Comblum, 

Lois Horcnstein and Marsh Stadt, 

and Judy Moore and Chuck Feder-

rapping around. 

The car built up a name for 

itself, for it has wiped out quite a few 

good numbers. The exterior is pretty 

well shot, but the mill is a real dream. 

In it are carbs., racing headers, 

three quarter cam., racing clutch, and 

a balanced fly wheel. 

This sharp *S0 Ford sedan has been 

stroked, chopped, and quarter re- 

lieved. Bart claims, "It will do 110 

in the quarter." 

As you remember, Bart had a 

peach of a car a couple o£ months 

ago. It was his baby blue Oldsmobile 

—customeJ by an axe and driven by 

a nut. 

The Sports Korner 

'Let's go to China." This is a fa- 

vorite saying of many Lowellites. 

Day or night you can always find a 

Lowell student on China Beach. This 

is the place of many games and ac- 

tvitics. 

Seen out there playing a new game 

were Ned Ward and Tom Meschery. 

This exciting game is called "Card- 

inal Poof Poof." Instructions for 

playing will follow in a later issue.

Parents' Night at Lowell Successful 

The night, where roles were re- 

versed and the parents came to 

school, is termed, in the words of 

Mr. Perino, as extremely successful. 

The activity involving both the par- 

ents and teachers took place on 

Thursday night, April 26. 

Although the idea is new to Low- 

ell, it has been done previously by 

other San Francisco schools. 

The parents enjoyed the program 

so much they have requested another 

such open house next year. Parents 

really received a -big bang from go- 

ing to the classes their children are 

LOWELL 

PHARMACY 



Telephone BAyview 1*1315 

in, meeting the teachers they hear so 

much about, and trying to make each 

class on time- 

iThe trips from the first floor to the 

third were fun, but if only they did it 

ten times a dayl 

By meeting the teachers and fol- 

lowing a student's schedule, parents 

got a better idea of what goes on in 

school, what is taught, and the gen- 

eral atmosphere their children are 

in. 

Teenagers and 

The Telephone 

The family is there doing all sorts 

of things. 

Then all of a sudden the 

telephone rings; 

It is answered with glee to a person 

unknown 

But what can you expect from 

a telephone? 

It may be for mom, but now 

who'd cali her? 

It couldn't be for dad; of that 

we are sure. 

Then all of a sudden. Sis leaps 

from the floor, 

"All, it's for me!*' as she flics through 

the door. 

Everyone back to their work or 

their chairs 

But it's hard to work listening to 

Sis's affairs. 

She talks about this and she talks 

about that. 

It seems so amazing how one 

girl can chat. 

She talks about John and babbles 

about Larry, 

Last but not least.she swoons 

over Jerry. -^ 

Then comes the gossip of all of 

the girls; 

We learn about Sue who just 

, bleached her curls; 

Vnd then 1 there's the prom 

v•"'•- next Saturday eve 

Sis builds her hopes on going with 

Steve. 

Should she wear pink, vcllow or 

blue? 

It's a shame she can't have some- 

thing bright and newl 

And so on and on this teen-ager 

goes... 

From "old history teachers" to the 

latest of shows. 

We wait for a click and talking no 

more; 

Maybe it's silly, but, "What's a 

telephone for?"

Hilda Losada 

Hilda Losada is from Buenos 

Aires, Argentina. She has lived in 

San Francisco for 16 months and she 

definitely likes Lowell very much. 

The manifest difference between 

Buenos Aires and San Francisco is 

the climate. Hilda prefers the steady 

mild climate of San Francisco to the 

severe climate of Buenos Aires. Hil- 

da is five feet, four inches, with 

brown eyes, dark brown hair, and 

;t very pleasant personality. 

Zeeva Zaretsky 

From the modern city of Tel-Aviv, 

Israel, came Zccva Zaretsky, 10 

months ago. Zeeva is a slender, five 

bot, six inch, blue-eyed brunette. 

'Znglish, art, and science arc her ma- 

ors and she is headed for the cam- 

>rs of the University of California 

after graduation. The schools in Is- 

rael arc quite different from the edu- 

cational instruction here- A mini- 

mum of 14 subjects arc to be passed 

n an undivided nine months. Final 

examinations are held after the four 

years of high school education to dis- 

cover how much the individual stu- 

dents have learned. The percentage 

of college-bound students is much 

smaller there. Also the instructors 

arc much stricter. After graduation 

from high school, the girls as well 

as the boys attend the army for a pe- 

riod of two and one-half years, 

Norma Boltodano 

Five feet, two inches, with dark 

brown hair and eyes, and a very in- 

formative and interesting personal- 

ity is Norma Boltodano from Nica- 

ragua. She feels that the life here is 

much faster. She finds the methods 

of study here much easier. In Nica- 

ragua the minimum number of sub- 

jects a student can take is ei$rht per 

term. The school hours arc different 

also. School is *n session from 8 to 

12 in the morning and from 2 to 4 in 

the afternoon. Participation in phy- 

sical education is always after school. 

Norma feels that the English lang- 

uage is quite difficult. She finds Low- 

ell and its students very interesting. 

They also got a good idea how 

badly a new school is needed. All 

agreed that it was a tremendous suc- 

cess, teachers and parents alike.

Reserve Officers 

Attend Dance 

The Brigade Saber Club Call, held 

at the Presidio Officers* Club on 

April 20, J956, was filled with many 

of Lowell's Reserve Officers and 

their dates dancing to the music of 

the "Moonshiners/* a ten-piece or- 

chestra. 

Lowellites Attend 

Seen dressed in formal attire, 

dancing or sapping punch, were Cad- 

et Col. Peter Bclmont, Regimental 

Commander, and Toby Gen>perle; 

Lt. Col. Bob Dawson, Battalion 

Commander, and Margaret Barton; 

and Capt. Dan Buttuloph and Mary 

Lowry. 

Others found amidst the milling: 

crowd were Cadet 1st Lt. Ken Jen- 

kins and Sharon Johnston, Cadet 

Capt. Carl Berry and Mimi Frascr, 

Cadet 1st Lt. Richard Ebert and 

Nancy Bauman, Cadet 2nd Lt. Carl 

Johnson and Virginia Sikorski, and 

Cadet 2nd Lt. Jim Johnson and Ca- 

rol Homcston 

Fashions, fashions, fashions—the 

thought that is always on a girl's 

mind, intermingled with traces of 

boys and dates. Now that San Fran« 

cisco is enjoying beautiful summer " : 

weather, new styles and fads will he 

seen everywhere. 

Cotton prints are always a popu- 

lar choice and thta season will show 

some clever dresses and a cardigan 

sweater trimmed with the co-ordt- 

nating print. 

The Ivy League trend has been 

taken over by girls as shown by the 

pcddlc-pushers, shorts and bermudas 

which arc being sported by the log- 

gers. Ivy League shirts (with the but- 

ton in the back) are also taking 

effect. 

Casuals 

-Car coats, which are popular in the 

east,.havc been accepted on the West 

Coast with enthusiasm. These are a 

longer jacket and made of a water re- 

pellent material—cither liner or un- 

Htied. They can u& worn with short* 

or êddle^pushers. 

Everyone will -be going io beaches 

and swimming pools and many new 

styles of bathing suits. are being 

shown. Black and white will.be pre- 

dominate colors. 

Novelties 5f 

Sun glasses have become quite, a 

novelty. One variation of the "crazy 

shades" is striped frames with an 

awning and blue lenses. Another type 

is a plain white frame decorated with 

it.hh things as birds, flowers, and 

bees. 

Colorful swimming caps have also 

gained unlimited notice. One version 

has attached to it a piece of hair that 

gives the impression of real locks. 

Other styles arc completely covered 

with flowers or scattered with jewels.

played as they managed to outliit the 

Irish, 6-5. Coach Walt Drysdale re- 

vealed that it was a tack of experience 

and a few fielding errors that were 

responsible for thc Lowell defeat. 

Pitchincr for Lowell for thc first 

time was Bri Lytlle who went the 

full seven innings and also managed 

to hit a double. Also starring for the 

Indians was Jerry Shobar, second 

base, who hit two for two. 

Lowell Loses Close 

Contest to S.L 

The win-thirsty Lowell varsity 

came across a hot Saint Tgrnatius 

team on Friday, April 27. Thc Wild- 

cats beat the Indians by a score of 

4-3 at Big Rec diamond, 

S.I. Leads Off 

S.I. led off in the first inning with 

a 2-0 score. N r ot until the third in- 

ning did Lowell score, when Steve 

Diamond came across thc plate on a 

double, hit by Bob Curley. 

The 'Cats built up the score again 

in the third when they stole from 

third to home- After that they re- 

ceived one more run and that finished 

their drive for the day. 

Since the regular season opened on April 10, thc Indians have 

a one win and four loss record. The leading hitter on the team is AH-Citv 

prospect Bob Curley, who is baiting a .'harp .357 as of last Monday. 

j Lowell's starting lineup will include Brian Lyttle at first -base, Jcrrv

victories, and Jim Watson again win- 

ning thc So. 1 match. 

Teaming up for a doubles win were 

g p r a doubles win we 

Larry Draper and Larry Westdahl. 

Even though Lowell beat S.I. 4>y 

a good score, S.I. will give Wash- 

ington stiff opposition for the title. 

When Lowell meets Washington 

May 3, they will have lo beat their 

|6-J or 7-0. 

The way they score for the cham- 

pionship is thc number of matches 

won, and Washington has won two 

more than Lowell. 

Thc tennis team also beat Mission 

and Galileo, 7-0, 7-0. 

In golf Lou-ell beat Poly, 9-0, and 

Balboa. 9-0. In the Poly match, all 

thc members of the golf team won. 

They are Harvey "Doc" Brody, 

Charles Levin, Rich Canaiella, Steve

j Since 1013 LoucH ias occupied its 

present location 1 ;i Hayes Street 

and Mr.ônic Avn.ue. In the course 

of those forty-four years this buiid- 

injy has withstood nnch wwr and 

tear and has become almost inade- 

quate for a senior high school. 

A proposed bond issue has been 

advanced to pay for construction 

and modernization of San Fran- 

cisco's schools for the next ten 

years. Out of the $29,840,-150 pro- 

posed bond, $4,400,000 would be 

towards building a new Lowell. 

Site 

During the past few years the stu- 

dents and alumni of Lowell have 

talked about a future site for the 

"old brick school house." This site 

has been shifted from one district to 

another but no permanent plans or 

reasons were made, 

j Dr. Spears, in making his ambi- 

tioiir recommendations, noted that 

San Francisco's problem "is one of 

:j«inc buildings and shifthijr /vopula- 

tion, rather than vaulting cnrcH- 

nicnt." Public schools -ire for all 

stuaent.t and are therefore planned 

to accommodate them. 

Junior High 

If Lowell is replaced, the present 

building will be converted ; .nto a 

junior high school. With this elimi- 

nation, three high schools wouM be 

left in the northern- part of San 

Francisco. They arc Polytechnic, 

fialik.t and Washington which arc 

adequate to care for the area's fu- 

ture needs. 

.T^tkc Merced is the intended area 

for construction which is due to the 

shifted population. Not formally 

mentioned in his report. Dr. Spiarf 

revied the thought of making Lowell 

a three year school at its new site. 

The suggestion has brought fire 

from alumni before. 

This program, after it is formally 

presented, is hopeful of being placed 

on the November ballot. It will b« 

another step tovnrd educational ser- 

vice and a fulfillment of a great 

desire for psst, present and future 

Loire!! students.

The Red Cross Friendship Album 

Committee, headed by Diane Sachs, 

will begin work again this week. 

The frienship alburns contain let- 

ters, drawings, pictures, etc. The t

dents for students of other countries. I Dear Editor: 

The albums are to be 14 inches by j

Dear Interested Student: 

This year we were notified too

were informed about it one day, and

TWIN? 

THE LOWELL 

CITY 

Friday, May is. 

Well, tomorrow's the big day. The 

best tracksters in San Francisco will 

compete to determine which schools 

v/ii! be the All-City champions. 

Lowell's chances are nil fur winning 

the varsity or 120's crown, but tlic 

strong 130's team will be battling* to 

the wire with Lincoln and Washing- 

ton. 

Two Spikemcn Undefeated. 

Although the All-City meet is to 

determine the team championships, 

much attention is given to individual 

honors. Two boys on the Lowell 

track squads have gone undefeated in 

league meets tins term and they 

should he praised for their accom- 

plishment. 

Tim "The Jet 1 ' Curtis, a high soph- , 

omore competing for the varsity, I 

hasn't been beaten this term. Tim 

has won cin'nt races this season. To- 

morrow he will run for the 130's and 

Coach Wolfe is counting on a victory 

fro;n him. 

: 

The only other undefeated Indian 

trackstcr is miJcr, Ed Chavez. Ed, a 

high school junior, ;s strictly a tnile 

runner and holds the best time in the 

city this term for thur event, 4:35.0. 

Watson City Net Champ. 

p 

Ahotlicr iinc individual performer 

is Jim Watson. Jim is not only the- 

number 1 tennis player from Lowell, 

but is .the top seeded prep player in 

San Hi'ancisco. He proved this last 

Saturday -when he defeated team 

.mate Vic Sashian Tor th ; j city crown. 

Jim plans to get his next trophy in 

"thr .Northern California tennis cham- 

pionship tournament.. 

Oddone Defeated. ,--1. 

Bob Oddone, one ^ of the mos 

popular ath!et'israro?tiid the reserva- 

tion, lost some of his pride about a 

* week ago. Bob, who has the best time 

in the city this term in thc'130's 4*!G 

yd. run, was defeated in a practice 

220 yd. dash in Colder. Gate Park. 

What was more embarrassing than 

losing, however, was the fact that 

Oddone suffered the defeat at the 

hands of a girl, Suzie Q. Coach Wolfe 

says that it was a close nice, but Suzie 

won by a nose in the fast lime of 11 

seconds. 

You shouldn't be surprised at 

Bob's loss to Suzie though, because 

she's a whippet. 

Tomonuw at Kvzar JMadiur.i spikes will be flying and discs will be 

hurling tlirough the air. 

Occurring will be this year's local high school championships of the 

sport the Greeks made famous long ago—-track and field. The event is the 

All-City meet. 

Close Meet Anticipated 

This year's meet promises to be one of the closest in recent years, as 

tight finishes arc forecast for all three divisions. 

In the varsity Washington and iViiy will fight it out, with the Magics 

attempting to regain the title they relinquished last year. Lowell, Wash- 

ington, Hiid Lincoln will be going at it in tin? ,'0's. and 1'oly and Wasli- 

ngUm appear to he the class oi the 20's division. 

Records in Jeopardy 

Several All-City records are in jeopardy. Among these are the 30's 

70 yard high hurdles, the 30's 440, the varsity 880, and the 30's broad jump. 

In the hurdles, Jim Bush _>: Lowell *'s out t-s break the mark of :09.6. 

He has been clocked in ;9,5 this season. Tir.i Curtis of Lowell, who haf 

been moved down to the 30's from UT* varsity to strengthen the team's bid 

for the t'tle, could threaten the meet mark of :52.2. He has done :51.9. 

Carlos Tan of St. Ignatius, wit I* an 880 best of 1.59.6, can break the 

record by knocking: olT four tenths of a second off his best time. Washing- 

ton's 3U's broad jumper Jim Atkins has leaped 21:10J4 and the record is 

21:9. 

Chavez in Mile 

In varsity competition it appears that Lowell's best chance for a vic- 

tory is in the mile. In that event Lowell's Ed Chavez lias the best clocking 

:n the city this year, 4:35. Also expected to score for the Cards arc Ross 

Sho.it in the pole vault and Bob Young in the S80. 

Expected U> add points for the Indian 30's in its title bid arc Bush in 

the high hurdles, Curtis and Bob Oddone in the 440, Pat Kcllchcr in the 

100 and broad jump, Jack Scliwadron in the 220, and Jim Caranica in the 

shot put. 

20's Shot Put 

Ed Jackson, a shot putter, appears to be Lowell's best bet for a win 

in the 20*5. 

The following is a prediction of the outcome of the meet:

Farewell To

President, Veep 

Express Farewells 

ft seems hard to realize that only 

four months ago, I was wHtrng a 

word of welcome. Now, :a we ap- 

proach that time, graduation, I pause 

tn reflect. Have we accomplished our 

purpose? A.* some of you may re- 

member, I stated, **Our success will 

l»o measured by the proves* we 

make in our studies and the dcKrcc 

to which we participate in our school 

activities/* 

We were not all able to be straight 

"A" students, but J feel sure we all 

£avc our very best efforts. Our par- 

ticipation in all school activities can 

he measured by the willing support 

of cvervonc. I feel we can look back 

on a wcil done job. 

[ know that I express the fcclinps 

of the entire student body when I 

say thanks to the faculty for their 

patience and their willingness to help 

us. Their sincere efforts gave us the 

very best. Our memories of them will 

be cherished forever. 

To those w!io arc leaving, may 1 

wish success in whatever field of en- 

deavor they choose. To those who 

remain, give your all to keep Lowell 

the best school in the city. 

BOB MOORE 

I would \\W to thank all of you 

ior giving me the opportunity to 

serve you as vice president this past 

term. It has proven to be a wonder- 

ful experience for me—one I will 

never forget. 

I want to express my sincere 

thanks to all who did such a terrific 

job helping me plan the various ac- 

tivities this term. You all seemed 

eager to help hut most of all, sincere 

in your efforts to make this term a 

successful one. 

It seems hard to believe that my 

high school years will soon be in the 

past but never will I forget the 

knowledge gained, the many friends, 

fun, and the happy memories, I have 

acquired while at Lowell. 

So goodbye and thanks again, 

J.'DWellites, for the support you have 

given me in my term of office. Here's 

wishing the next vice president a 

wonderful term filled with much luck

GAA Awards Rally, 

Election Yesterday 

The Girls Athletic Association 

held its Awards Rally yesterday in 

the girls' gym. The purpose of this 

rally was to present the awards 

earned by the girls in their various 

sports and to elect new officers for 

the coming year. 

The rally began with the tradition- 

al Eh Rah and ended with the Axe 

and Hymn, led by the song leaders. 

Dorothy Jones, GAA president, con- 

ducted the rally and introduced the 

guests. Visitors were officers' irom 

other GAA\s .and Mr."'Roy Daugh- 

erty, past director of P.K. in the 

Sau Francisco public schools. 

The girls running for GAA offices 

were Sandic Dickey. Mpriko Soma, j "° 

Pat Marquis, and Ann Merrill. 

While the girls were voting Jane 

Kafautaris entertained by playing 

the piano. 

Then came the presentation of 

awards. Nancy Xorton, Hlock L sec- 

retary, awarded the Circle L*s. Car- 

Senior Prom Is Over; 

Memories Still Linger 

The loveliest night of four years 

or high school is now over. Just 

mentioning this occasion brings ex- 

citement and high expectation to 

mind. The Senior Prom has come 

and gone, but it will long be remem- 

bered by all of the seniors who at- 

tended. 

Tins gala affair was held in the 

Empire Room of the Sir Francis 

Drake Hotel ou June 1, from 9 to 

12 midnight. 

Music Sets Mood 

The music of Dick Foy and his 

band set the mood which highlighted 

this memorable occasion. 

The girls in their formats and 

wearing beautiful corsaf.es, and the 

boys in their white dinner jackets, 

made it really fit the description of 

a senior prom. 

Committee Worked Hard 

Some of those »vho were responsi- 

ble for making this such a great suc- 

cess arc Harvey Brody, Janice Dris- 

coll, Joyce Robbins, Bucky Reed.

ance of an environment of true 

friends; and (3) the necessity of a 

fulfillment of a person's obligations 

to his country, church, and commu- 

nity. 

Appreciation to Parents 

and Instructors 

i.tic. also will emphasize the helpful 

guidance the graduating seniors hav 

received from Lowell, their teachers, 

and their parents. Lee's aim is to ex- 

press the value of high school days 

and the appreciation and gratitude 

the graduates owe to their instruct- 

ors and parents. She concludes her 

speech with a very appropriate and 

inspirational prayer, "Oh, Heavenly 

Father, give me the serenity to ac- 

cept what cannot be changed .the 

courage to change what should be 

changed, and the wisdom to know 

from the o*h*r" •, . 

Youth Determines 

Joan Harton compares Lowell to 

San Francisco just after the great 

earthquake and fire of 1906. Sin- 

points out that although the city was 

in ruins the citizens never lost their 

courage, hope, and desire to pro- 

gress into the future. Joan expressed 

that whenever Lowell has faced a 

crisis, the faculty, student body, and 

other interested citizens have all 

willingly risen to the occasion. 

Brief Resume of Lowell's History 

Joan conveys that Lowell wa: 

name of the Union Grammar School., 

The school, since then, has had va- 

rious titles including San Francisco ' 

High School, Hoys High School, 

and finally adopted its present name*. 


Futuristic Picture 

The historical speech conclude* 

by giving a futuristic picture of a 

new Lowell. It might be possible that 

the new Lowell will be a highly 

modern building with the lates; ar- 

chitectural developments, scientific- 

ally fanned classrooms and labora- 

tories, plus spacious landscaped 

grounds. The athletic program might 

consist of large gymnasiums with 

outdoor space alloted for basketball 

and tcnins courts, and even a trr.ck 

and football field. 

"high and mighty** seniors. The con- 

cluding rally of the term, the Block 

L rally. It is the day we hear the 

farewells, speeches and announce- 

ments of the new officers (ct next 

term. Awards will be given to those 

high seniors who have contributed 

their services to make Lowell what 

it is today. 

The Rally 

The rally is something that is 

looked forward to by students in 

their freshman year.The high seniors 

will gather in the center of the 

court: each in probably wild, and 

weird costume, with appropriate hat. 

Awards 

The ra'ly will last for one hour. 

' During .'hat time the more serious 

business of the day will be taken care 

of. The many awards for merit. 

olyu Watson, Block L president, an- 

nounced the new members of the 

Hlock L, and Sharon Doming, CiAA 

.secretary, presented the stars. Mr. 

Penno gave out to the b'gh senior 

girls, the highest award attainable in 

GAA, the gold pins. 

After each manager of the various 

sports announced the new managers 

and assistant managers, and after 

the Ax« and Hymn, the managers 

gave out the awards to the girls who 

had faithfully attended their sports. 

It was under the supervision of 

Miss McBridc. The prom is over 

now, but it will long be remembered 

the high .senior*' who were 

t here. 

Fellowships Grants 

To Lowell Teachers 

During the summer three Lowell 

teachers will bo honored by a grant 

or fellowship in their various fields. 

They are: 

Miss Margaret Chase, Far Eastern 

studies program fellowship at Har- 

vard University. 

Mr. Richard Doi. $80.00 scholar- 

ship at the College of Arts and Crafts 

in Berkeley. 

Mr. Andre Dury, science teachers 

atomic energy research fellowship at 

University of California. 

Seven Lowell Students 

Win Cal Scholarships 

OiMr of the biggest honors be- 

stowed upon a graduate of high 

school is a scholarship. This year, as 

in past y:ars, Lowelt has many stu- 

dents who have received scholarships 

to the University of California at 

Berkeley. 

Seven Lowell students received 

scholarships to Cal. Most amazing is 

that two of these students are low 

seniors, who will be starting college 

in February, 1957. 

There are two different kinds oi 

scholarships that one may receive to 

the University of California. Tlu-n- 

are alumni scholarships presented i>y 

I lie Califu.'iii.t Ahniiiti Association, 

and there are other scholarships pre- 

sented directly by i!ie university. 

The scholarships are given ou the 

basis of character, ability, and finan- 

cial need. Receiving Alumni Scholar- 

ships arc Alva Ann Lynch. Ross 

Shoaf, .~nd the two low seniors. Lew- 

is Manric|tie and Terry Trosper. Uni- 

versity Scholarships were awarded 

to Anita Axt, Joanne Davies, and

Let's wish these students the best 

of luck in their college years.

New Schools Are Needed; 

Bond Approval Is Solution 

One of the most important issues, which your parents will 

be voting" w> approve on the November ballot, is Proposition A, 

that of the propose! $27,000,000 school bond. One of the pur- 

poses of this bond issue is to construct new high schools that 

will accommodate the recent astounding increase in the enroll- 

ment of hii^h school students. 

OVERCROWDEDNESS 

The need has been brought about by the increasing school 

population in the city. Also an unusually large number of stu- 

dents have transferred from parochial schools because of their 

sncrorise in enrollment. This has contributed much to the over- 

f, rowdeducss. 

The school authorities have converted teachers* workrooms, 

laboratories, and quarters designed for other uses, into class- 

rooms. Lincoln will continue to use the ten wartime portable 

buildings that have been in use there for some time. 

Friday, September 28. 

First Impressions Vital To New Students

men and sophomore students. A total

SOLUTION 

Although this situation is something that has been antici- 

pated and is noi critical, ii does require immediate attention. 

This bond issue includes a provision for two more high schools. 

One will be bivilt in the southeast portion of the city to take care 

of tho additional students anticipated by 196L 

The other school will be a new Lowell High which will be 

near Lake ?*Ierecd. The area has been purchased and with the 

approval of- the school bond issue construction of the Lowell 

•will be started. The building* will be situated on the property 

ojfl Eucalyptus Avenue and Winston Drive. 

The present students at Lowell and the alumni of many 

years have been looking forward to the day when a new Lowell i 

could and would be erected. The dream can be made true at! 

last if your parents realize what this bond issue means and if 

they vote la favor of the bond. 

'•; Bring all those facts to light and tell your parents about the 

situation. It'would be most exciting 1 to have the new Lowell 

started in our centennial year. Help to promote this issue and 

support a new Lowell.

Tentative School Budget 

Depends en Your Support 

r,: Members of the Executive Board this week gave their O.K. 

to the tentative student body budget for the school year 1956- 

1957. It is a "tentative" budget because the student body mus 

raise these" funds before they can spend the money. Whether 

or not all activities will receive the allotted amount depends on 

each member of the student body. Every good Lowellite will 

buy a student body card, attend every athletic contest, support 

the school paper, and give his moral and physic .1 support to 

every school activity. 

r . Let's all do our part to make this budget a reality.

The bip opening day is here. The 1956 AAA football season begins. 

Lowell squad will not be the best in years but promises to be an alert 

and fast moving team. 

Undoubtedly, thv experts pick this game between Lowell and Wash-j 

ington to be a dose one, with Washington getting the edge. But I think j 

you can look for an upset today. I predict Lowell 20, Washington 12.

Can Lowell recover from the shock 

of graduation 

Look back for a moment to just 

one year ajtro, when Lowell, maimed 

by the loss of Addison, Cailaway, 

and Kremer. and doomed to the 

depths of the second division, double- 

crossed the experts and landed in thc 

playoffs. 

How can Lowell survive this year? 

Grariasiôn took every first and sec- 

ond string hack on the club, and 

showc.1 little mercy on the line. 

Let's look at what Lowell has got 

now. 

The interior line is nearly the big- 

gest in the city. In strong support 

of this statement ire Jim Escue, 215, 

and Paul Disterheft, 210, thc team's 

sole first string returnees. Both are 

.slated to go botii ways at tackle. 

It's just anybody's guess who will 

start in the rest of the line. We can 

fairly safely say that Laymon. Ger- 

maiio. Stehn, Kucich, Rigney, Ellis. 

Goorjian. Jackson, and Adams will 

see considerable action on both of- j 

fensc and defense. j 

Thc ends arc another question I 

mark. It looks like Streltzoff and I 

Ponig on offense, and Ponig and | 

Bums, defense. Lambert, Roberts, 

and Patch will see ^lightly less action 

in that spot. 

Stamos should have thc fulihack 

job pretty much to himself, but will 

he spelled from time to time by 

Torres. 

Strange and Gnrrison should draw 

equal action at quarterback. 

Halfbacks to see offensive duty 

shnulci include Martinez, Dorsie, Gib- 

son, Bush, Mueller, Massaglia, Ep- 

inger, U'rrea, and Curtis. The former 

three are expected to work primarily 

on defense, however. Matzger. Kelly, 

and Espinor should supply the need- 

ed defensive depth. 

Line play should serve as the ba- 

sis for the offensive drive. Thc line, 

| generally speaking, has good initial

Should the Pageant Be Continued or Stopped 

PRO 

The Football Pageant is an annual 

function, and it should be continued. 

If it weren't for a few, there would 

not be any question tor the continua- 

tion of it. 

Three fourths of the students sat 

in the rooting sections. There wasn't 

any trouble to be found in these 

areas. Most of the trouble started 

outside of the rooting sections. The 

teenagers that started the irou-ble 

weren't sitting in specified places, 

and most of them were out-ot-school 

boys. 

Tradition 

Everyone looks forward to the 

Football Pageant; it is a tradition. 

Without the Football Pageant to 

start it off, the season wouldnH be 

complete. There arc too many teen- 

agers who look forward to it. and it 

makes the football reason an exciting 

event. 

The Pageant is one of the most 

exciting events in coming back to 

school. A person can*l put into words 

the excitement of this-pageant. The 

spirit of the teams, the rooting sec- 

tions, the competition, the decorating 

of cars, and tlie games all make the 

students happy that they go to a 

school of which they can feel a part 

The freshmen are all aglow, com* 

ing into high school. Their excite- 

ment, the gicam in their eyes, all 

make them feel as though they are 

part of the school. ; " 

CON 

For six years now, the high 

schools of San Francisco have .had 

an annual Football Pageant to open 

the football season. Each year the ex- 

citement is built up more and more: 

the crowd gets wilder, and when ex- 

citement is steamed up—it has to ex- 

plode. 

Riots 

And explode it did. The Pageant 

I has become, instead of a time and 

place to root for your team, a place 

to let the other guy know that you 

don't like his school or his looks. The 

Pageant is not a place to settle argu- 

ments or have fights because of any 

reason. It is a privilege to have this 

event and the privilege should be 

taken away until those individuals 

can learn how to act. 

It has been said that because of a 

few individuals the Pageant should 

not be stopped, but in all fairness to 

the innocent bystanders, the Pageant 

I must be stopped in order that these 

innocent people don't^get hurt by the 

meanness and brutality of a few. 

Teachers Act As Cops 

_. The Pageant is also putting the 

teachers of the \arious high schools 

in an unpleasant situation. Instead 

of being able to sit and enjoy the 

games, the teachers have to act as 

cops and watch out for any disturb- 

ances in their respective sections. 

AH summed up, the Pageant has 

become a /gathering place for hood- 

lums

Dear "Tirci Feet": 

I sympathize with you, but you

added service that Lowell offers. 

Inasmuch as it is an unnecessary 

responsibility taken on merely for 

our benefit, let's try to coo^rate as 

much with them as possible. 

Their ruling is not to harrass or 

aggravate us. It is only to keep 

things-more efficient, and to conserve 

time. —The Editor 

Exchange students Ayse Kayaalp and Peter Tietxe discuss Europe with 

Mike Axelrad, who just returned from European tour. 

Lowell's Mike Axelrad is 

Representative in Europe 

A very interesting summer was 

spent by Mike Axelrad, who toured 

Europe and stayed in Italy through 

the American Field Service. 

"Last term I could hardly wait for 

June 23 to r- 11 around," Mike de- 

clared, "not -^nly because school was 

ending, but because June 23 was the 

day I would leave for New York and 

on to Europe. 

"I took off in a United r\ir Lines 

plane at 9:40 June 23, and arrived in 

New York at 11:00 a.m., June 24. It 

was very hard (or me to believe that I 

was in New York bt/.»usc I hadn't 

been any farther than Nevada before. 

To Europe at Last 

"Sailing on the afternoon of June 

25, the boat trip was most enjoyable 

and was one of the best parts of the 

trip. There were 700 students on the 

boat: 300 boys ami 400 girls, and a 

torrific time to be had. 

"We landed at Le Havre. France, 

anil I was finally in Europe. We went 

to Paris and stayed for two days. T 

was in a daze. I saw the Louvre, all 

the stores, thr Champs de Hlscs, and 

the Folies de Bergere. Then we iook 

off for Italy. 

On-tc Italy 

"We landed and the family I was 

to live with picked me up in Milan, 

the largest city in Northern Italy. 

They took me by train to a tiny little 

town 90 miles from Milan and 100 

miles from Venice. 

"We passed through the flattest 

land I've ever seen. This was the fa- 

mous Po Valley. AH I could sec for 

miles was many shades of green. 

After this followed two fabulous 

months living with really terrific peo- 

ple who seemed like a second family 

to me. 

"My first trip was to Bologna. It is 

one of the oldest towns in Italy. We 

visited the churches and the famous 

statues, some by Michangclo and 

Leonardo de Vinci. Bologna also has 

some of the best food in Italy and I 

had a feast on pizza. 

Touring on Foot 

"About a week later I went to 

Lake Garda. The Italian lakes are 

famous for their beauty and this one 

lived up to the reputation. It was 

like Lake Tahoe only more beautiful 

and the water was very, very warm. 

Venice, Florence, Milan, rnd many 

other places soon followed on tour. 

"For the last 20 days of my stay 

with the Juscttis (the family) we 

went for a stay in the mountains. 

This time we hiked in the Dolomites, 

cousins to the Alps. The beauty of 

the scenery was in the sweeping 

mountain views and the ancient 

castles. 

Last Stop—Rome 

"After two great months I left my 

family and went to Rome for five 

days. Rome is one of the most beau- 

tiful cities in the world, with its foun- 

tains and ruins. 

"We met the mayor and we saw 

the vast museums of the ancient Ro- 

man Capitolinc Hill. Rome is a liv- 

ing chy and when you walk in its 

streets you feel the city living about 

you. 

"We boarded a TWA plane at 

Rome's Ciampano Airport and left 

Italy with heavy hearts, because we 

had to leave all those wonderful ex- 

periences and places. Time went 

quickly after that. 

"A terrific week in Paris, nine won- 

derful days on the boat in the Atlan- 

tic, a day of sight-seeing in New 

York, and then after a night of flying 

—home again at last and telling 

about everything at once." 

Exchange Students Enrolled 

With Lowell Student Body 

Ayse Kayaalp 

Aysc Kayaalp is one of Lowell's 

new exchange students. She is ori- 

ginally from Turkey. Her trip to the 

United States was sponsored -by the 

American Field Service, an organi- 

zation started during World War I 

to bring foreign students to the U. S. 

Ayse was introduced to Lowell 

students at the sports rallies, where 

she expressed her high opinion of 

America. However, she said that Is- 

tanbul is also a large city, therefore 

San Francisco does not seem very 

unfamiliar. 

Marilyn and Tommy Baker arc the 

daughter and son of Colonel Baker, 

with \vhon,\Ayse is staying. Marilyn 

and Tommy are both members of the 

Lowell student body; Ayse is grate- 

ful to "this wonderful family.** 

Schools Differ 

•Department of American College 

for Girls is the school which Ayse 

formerly attended. It is located on a 

hill which overlooks Bosphorus, the 

most beautiful spot in Istanbul. Be- 

fore entering college Ayse attended 

first a primary school for five years, 

then a college preparatory school. 

A college freshman year in Turkey 

is equivalent to the high school se- 

nior year in America. However, they 

fit their schooling into a smaller 

amount of time, therefore Ayse feels 

that our schools are easier. 

Peter Tietze 

Lowell also wishes to welcome 

Peter Tietze, an exchange student, 

who is now in his low senior year at 

Lowell. Peter is a member of regis- 

try 301. 

The American Field Service ar- 

ranged Peter's trip to America from 

his native Germany. He was chosen 

for being outstanding in many cate- 

gories, but among them grades rate 

highest. We are fortunate in receiv- 

ing such a fine addition to our stu- 

dent body. 

Peter attended Shaablicer Gymna- 

sium School in Germany. Peter feels 

that our schools are easier than Ger- 

many's, for theic. seven per cent of 

the students are able to continue with 

high^ school. These students are cho- 

sen by a strict cxamiiv.**sit. 

Work at 13 

The children who do not pass high 

school examinations are not allowed 

to continue with school. These chil- 

dren get jobs or arc trained for a 

special trade. In other words, 93 per 

cent start work at 13 years of age. 

The students who do continue 

with high school receive a 13-year 

education similar to ours. However, 

students are not allowed the liberty 

of choosing their own courses. They 

may choose the department, such as 

math, language, or science, that they 

wish to enter. 

Lowell Steff Interviews Rover Boys 

By DORIS KAHN 

Last week some members of The 

Lowell staff had the opportunity to 

interview the one and only "Rove- 

Boys." For those of you who arc 

not familiar with them, you'll know 

them by their recent recording of 

"Graduation Day** which sold well 

over a miliicn copies. Their brand 

new release, "Young Love,'* is also 

climbing quickly and should soon 

reach the top. The boys by name arc 

Al Osten, Lairy Omato. Buddy Vic- 

tor, and Sonny Weils. Oddly enough, 

though three of them hail from To- 

ronto, Canada, while the fourth comes 

fron> Brooklyn, they all met in the 

US. 

All Bachelors 

Just for the record, girls, the Ro- 

ver Boys are all bachelors around 

22. and all are very charming and 

talented. Far from being just singers, 

they are capable of very convincing 

impersonations. You sit fascinated 

while watching them go through a 

routine of Johnnie Ray, the Crew- 

cuts. Perry Como. and especially 

Libcrace. Our celebrities find Ameri- 

can audiences the best and the easi- 

est to get along with. "Americans 

take more of a personal interest in 

you and your career than most other 

audiences," confessed one singer. 

Return From Hawaii 

Directly before arriving in San 

Francisco, the Rover Boys were in 

Hawaii, which was a stop in their 

grand tour. Although full of praise 

for the beautiful "Aloha Land," they 

admit that San Francisco is one of 

their favorite cities. As for us, they 

are one of our favorites, too. From 

what wV fount 1 , out, they have had a 

great deal of training and singing ex- 

perionc? Ufore touring the country. 

Surprising as it may seem, it takes 

them only two days of thorough 

practice before releasing a record, 

and as .Sonny Wells so rightly put it, 

"Somehow, we just know if the song 

is for us.**

Tomahawk Poised for Clawless Cats 

PHIL-INS 

By 

WISEMAN 

The Lowell varsity has had a dis-< 

appointing season so far this year 

and is nort doing quite as well as the 

experts picked them. 

I would like to say that it is not 

only the football (cam's fauh for 

doing so poorly. The so-called organ- 

ized looting: this football season has 

been poor. 

When a game is going to be de- 

cided by a touchdown, it's the spirit 

that wins or loses that game. 

Undoubtedly, the experts pick this 

game between Lowell and S.I. to be 

a close one, with S.I. getting the 

edge. Let's say Lr-well may not win 

but will give a gcod account of them- 

selves. 

First Football Contest Winner 

The results from the first Lowell 

grid contest are in, and I must say 

rt was quite a close race right to the 

final game. The winner of the first 

contest is Richard Mangels, L12t 

Reg. 301. Richard Kot nine out of 

ten and only missed the Stanford- 

Ohio State game. 

Fine Pass Catcher 

The Lowell football team has been 

helped tremendously this year by a 

great pass catching end. Bob Strclt- 

zoff. He weighs 180 pounds, is 6 ft. 2 

in. tall, and is a L12. Bob would like 

•to attend the University of California 

upon graduation. 

120's Find Ace 

Fred Dagino, Lll, a fine shooting 

right bander, has broken all existing 

prc-scison records by scoring 46 

points in three practice games. Fred 

is playing a forward position. 

Tolson Gets Honor 

Jon Tolson, H12, who has recent- 

ly received a life time membership in 

the CSF and is planning to attend the 

University of California upon gradu- 

ation, vAW be a face you should know 

around the Reservation. Jon. who 

was r« leading threat last year on the

Lowell 14, Washington 13 

The Indians started their march 

to the playoffs in sparkling fo:m, 

whipping a surprising Eagle eleven 

September 28 on their own field by 

'irtuc of two touchdown passes to 

Job Streltzoff. 

The Eagles put on a gallant fight 

hroughout the contest, highlighted 

ty th? work of At Bosquet and Mack 

Burtcn, but were finally overcome 

by the never-say-die Redskins. 

The golden arm of Bill Stamos 

provided the first score early in the 

second quarter on a 30 yard pass 

nto paydirt. The second tally was 

not put across until the final period 

when, trailing 13-7, Vance Strange 

flipped 16 yards for the clincher. 

Mission 25, Lowell 14 

The Redmen simply didn't have 

t for this one. 

Mission took the initiative shortly 

following the opening gun and 

maintained a superiority until the 

end. Largely responsible for the de- 

feat was the work of Bear backs 

Islis, Schwcnger and Marshall, 

A .park was ignited to the Lowell 

ittack in .the second quarter when 

Strelzoff climaxed an attack on 

Bear territory by pulling down an 

aerial in the end zone for six. 

A canolc still burnt in the last 

period when the piledriving runs of 

Stamos and the glue-fingered recep- 

tion of Bert Ponig brought the pig- 

skin to" the twenty, whereupon Jcc 

Dorsi/. skirted end for the tally. 

Sacred Heart 12, Lowell 0 

The Irish capitalized on an em- 

barrassing amount of Lowell mis- 

cues and in the last quarter were, 

able to take advantage of two of 

them to scoring degree as they 

overcame the Redskins on a soggy 

Kezar turf. 

Lowell sustained many a drive 

into enemy territory only to be sty- 

mied with paydirt in sight by their 

inability to hold onto the football 

.The line opened, large holes al 

afternoon, and the offense moved 

well, but the backs fumbled (a num- 

ber close to ten) so regularly that 

scoring became cut of the question. 

The defense had little trouble with 

the much publicizrd Walt Arnold, 

and generally held the Irish drives 

well. 

Commendable on the Lowell sid 

of the show was the defensive work 

of savage Bob Kucich, and the effec 

tive pounding of lightning fullback 

Stamos.

Backs Might Play Hob 

On the other hand, two backs, who 

were not expected to threaten this 

year, Rothman and Dowd, have been 

most effective particularly sweeping 

ends. 

Watch the Cats to depend on 

quick-opening end runs and pass op- 

tionals to spearhead their offense. 

Neither quarterback (they can af- 

ford two this year) has enough fak- 

ing or passing ability to lose sleep 

over .Their running is only slightly 

better. 

May We Theorize 

The ends are far from stable in 

reception, but are good blockcrs and 

must be watched constantly for the 

quick flip up the middle. The tackles, 

as has been mentioned, are generally 

considered weak, and in any case arc 

not utilized, to a great extent, :n 

opening interior holes. 

The Wildcat problem, as it has 

been diagramed, can be remedied by 

the use of a skimpy line and roving 

linebackers with particular emphasis 

on the ends, alternately crashing 

ends and linebackers, and a three- 

man safety, ever vigilant for the 

aerial. 

Such a defense would be weak up 

the middle, and if realized as so by 

an alert offense, and taken advantage 

of, linebackers will have to rove a 

bit closer middle and a deep man 

will shallow. 

Cat Defense 

The Saint Ignatius oass defense is 

tough, -but not impregnable. Particu- 

larly strong is thrir rush on the pass- 

er. Running^the Wildcat line will be 

tough; it car. be shoved, but not 

easily. The best bet is running ends, 

hard and consistently, where seems 

to be their largest defensive problem. 

The Lowell machine, although it 

has had trouble solidifying thus far

natius a much rougher afternoon than 

the cocky Cats are counting on. 

Tt looks like the Indians are at la3t 

shaping up close to potential. 

The forward wall, which was hav- 

ng a bit of trouble moving out in pre- 

vious showings, has now become a 

:ough, effective unit, able to rip 1iOl« 

in the best defenses. The blocking 

has been steadily improving. 

No Fumbles! 

The backfield has finally overcome 

its inability to hang onto the ball, 

and poses a tremendous threat to a ru- 

de fen sc, certainly S.I/s. It has elimi- 

nated its phobia in regard lo 

ning end, and now should be a haz- 

ard to the defense there as well as 

the middle.

ments in the S.H. contest and wil! 

sit out this one. 

Defense Adequate 

The defense, that put only a me- 

diocre damper on the Irish last week, 

has been drilled considerably since 

and can now be considered stable 

against air or ground attack. 

The recovery of its stalwart. Bob 

Kucich, is certainly a welcome note. 

Kusc, considered by many to be the 

most vicious defense man in the 

league, was given the go-ahead by 

his physician. 

He suffered a hip pointer and a 

blood clot in the leg last week and 

previous to examination, was a ques- 

tion mark for today's game.

Indians Vs. Parrots 

Tomorrow at Kezar 

, Way back in 1912 when football season rolled around, the "Big Game" 

of the- season was between Lowell and Polytechnic. (Actually the two 

teams first met in 1895 but it didn't become an annual contest until 1912.) 

Forty-four years later, in 1956, the rivalry between the two schools is just 

as keen. 

As in past years the same familiar eric-, of "Get the Poly Parrots" ami 

"Scalp the Indians" wil 1 . be ringing from the two rooting sections. 

Here is a rundown of scopes of Hit: *'bi(" game" since 1912:

Lowell is blessed to have in its 

ranks one of the city's top back in 

fullback Bill Stamos. Bill has nm

Standouts for the Indians were Ed

Al Zclaya, who led the scoring wrth

1*>56 edition of the most intense hiffti .school football rivalry in San Fran- 

cisco, the Poly-Lowell game. 

I'or the past 13 years Poly h.is come home with a victory and is picked 

lo do the same tomorrow. 

A good part of pulling an upset would have to be co-ordination between 

the student hotly and the team, and if both give their all al the game, we 

aro going to be awfully lonyh to beat. How about it, gang? 

If the Lowell Varsity Football Team docs not make any miscues and 

plays good fundamental football the 13-year losing streak could and will

Lowell Students 

Win Contes* 

"Join the best, don't settle for 

less." This is the slogan which won 

LOACII sophomore David Russell a 

$50 cash prize award in this city- 

wide contest to select a slogan for 

the Police Recruiting drive. 

David, a very civil minded boy, 

was urged to enter the contest by 

Mr. Luccy, who has been instrumen- 

tal in prMding many Lowell stu- 

dents to enter contests of this nature. 

English Major 

David ;s going to be an English 

major here at Lowell, and eventually 

he plans to go into medicine al Stan- 

ford. He is but little interested in 

sport;,. His hobby is constructing 

model airplanes. 

Lowell is proud to have beneath 

•ts wing the likes of David Russell. 

Keep up the good work, David. 

CSF Takes Field Trip 

To Stanford Campus 

The CSF took a field trip to Stan- 

ford University Monday, November 

19. at 3:30 a.m. Transportation to 

tht; university was provided. 

The crow*! of Lowellitcs arrived 

there at 10 a.m. and wore greeted by 

Stanford representatives. These rep- 

resentatives guided the students 

itruund the university. 

Some of the students went to 

classes with the Lowell alumni. Oth- 

ers went on conducted tours of the 

campus. These students visited the 

Hoover Tower, the museum, and the 

chapel. Many students attended a 

western civilization lecture.

downtown hotels. 

Editors View Film on 

Teenage Problems 

A preview was held at the Fox 

Thc»t:Q for editors of the various 

San Francisco high schools a few 

weeks ago. The preview film was 

"Tccn-agc Rebel." 

This picture is the story of a mal- 

adjusted teen-ager. When she goes 

to visit her mother, whom she has 

not sei-n for eight years, she learns 

a litt'c about love ami a lot about 

people. 

This film is typical of some teen- 

age problems which come from bro- 

ken homes. 

If at all possible see this film. It 

is a terrific mixture oF sadness and 

happiness. Don't miss it!

LOWELL 

SPORTS 

PHIL-INS 

By 

WISEMAN 

Only a few more weeks till the Lowell varsity and 130 pound 

basketball teams get under way, and it looks like this could 

be quite a year. 

Mr. Neff as usual will coach the varsity, but for the first 

few games Mr. Anino will be coaching the 130's. 

1 interviewed Mr. Ncfr to find out what he thought or his 

1956 basketball team. He replied, "Remember the 1955 season 

when Lowell played Lincoln and were big favorites, but when 

the final buzzer sounded Lowell h*d lost." 

The point behind this statement is that you can't win a 

game on paper. 

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK 

Boys 4 Block L Have< 

Highest HonorCount 

Contrary to the popular opinion 

-that being an athlete is detrimental 

to receiving good grades, the nicm- 

l»crs of the Boys' Block L have re- 

ceived a higher honor count aver- 

aye than that of the whole student 

hoily. Tlicsc reports arc based en the 

last report period. 

The all-school average honor count 

is 21/0 points, and that or the ttlock 

L members was a higher 25.7. Even 

mor? surprising ;trc the statistics 

lhat show the Block L members who 

are active in two or more sports, of 

which there arc 17 boys, received the 

highest average, 36.4 points. 

Team Sports 

Block L members who are on the 

basketball team, of which there are 

12 boys, have an average of 33.5 

honor count. The two baseball mem- 

bers received 32.5 count for the first 

report period, and the 12 Block L 

boys on the football team earned a 

count of 19.5 points. 

Individual Sports 

Tiie 17 swimmers on the Block L 

Society made 31.8 honor count. The 

target number of Block L boys are 

on the track and cross country team; 

The Boys' Block L Society this week named Jim Bush, half-1 lherc are 25 participating in this

26 points. The only golfer with his 

Block received ? z points, and the 

three members on the tennis team 

scored an 18.3 average honor count. 

Credit should be given to these 

boys, first for doing such fine work 

in their athletic and scholastic field?, 

and second, for proving so perfectly 

the idea that good athletes can be 

back on the varsity football team, as the Athlete of the Week. 

Jim received this homVr for his outstanding defensive play in 

the Poly game, and his punt and kickoff returns all season long. 

THANKS TO FOOTBALLERS 

Thanks to the Lowell football team, who worked hard and 

v.'ith the exception of a few bad breaks could have gone all the 

way. 

HATS OFF 

After my first girl athlete last edition, there was such great 

response that I am going to try it again. 

My second girl athlete is Joan Hartman. She is a L-12 and 

has been a leading figure around the reservation for the past 

three years. Joan is a great athlete in that she is active in bowl- 

ing and horseback riding. Joan, who led the femmes in horse- 

back riding for the past two years, has been sidelined because of 

a bad fall. Let's hope Joan has a quick recovery. 

ALL CITY PROSPECT 

Most people figure that Meschery will carry the scoring 

load for the first half of the season, and they are probably right. 

But when Meschery is gone, who's to be next? Well, I think-1 

have found the boy—Jim Caranica, L-12 and last year's first 

string guard, will be out there repeating that position again 

Jim says, *1f the varsity can beat Poly we will have a good 

chance for the title/' 

THIRD CONTEST WINNER 

The results from the third rid contest are in, and I must say 

that out of the three winners the third one was the best. Her 

name is Liz Forbes, L-1I, reg. 135. She correctly picked 14 out 

of IS, only missing the Penn-Yale game. 

good students as well. 

120's Finish

Poly Defeats Lowe!! 

!n Traditional, 14-0 

In the fifthieth renewal of 1 North- 

ern California's most famous prep 

(?rid classic, on November 3 at ICe- 

zar Stadium. Poiy once more 

emerged the victor ever the Lowell 

Indians for the fifteenth time in a 

row. 14-0. 

The Indians, whose inconsistent 

season record made them the heavy 

underdogs, surprised most critics by 

the succcsful way in which they 

stopped the Parrott attack during 

the first half and in the way they 

carried out several lonpr drives c* 

their own. The first half ended in a 

scoreless tic after a sec-saw battle. 

The late third and early fourth 

quarter of the game was the portion 

f the game most harmful to Low* 

11. A 59-yard Indian drive was halt- 

ed when Poly intercepted a Strange 

•ass or. the Parrot 20-yard line. With 

trilliant running from Clarence Carr, 

he Parrots marched the length of 

he field to a score. Stone booted the

Early in the fourth period. Poly 

tcored attain. Taking advantage of a 

tveary opposition, they marched con- 

sistently on 10-yard gainers deep into 

udian ground. Carr went in from 

he 10 and Stone converted. 

Strange Spotty 

The Indians staged a last ditch 

scoring drive, starting from their 

own 30, they went to the Poly six. 

only to give away the ball on downs. 

Strange's passing, although spotty 

n places* was responsible for 

great deal of the Cards' aerial 

delity. 

Stamos Like Nagurski 

Mainstay in the Lowell attack 

once again was its pile-driving full- 

back, Stamos. Running like a Na- 

gurski through all four quarters, he 

rolled up a grand total of 110 yards 

in 12 carries and was responsible for 

five of the nine first downs. This 

all against the league's toughest de- 

fense. 

Last Chance f or 49'er Tickets 

Here is the last chance at the biggest grid contest Lowell has ever had. 

The previous contests had good results because a lot of people entered. To 

those who didn't, you really missed a great contest, ~ " .

to what he hopes will be the championship, Tom was the num- 

ber two man on the all-city team last year. Due to graduation 

Tom will only play half season. 

Jim Ellis, H10, six feet two inches, will be one of the most 

* mproved players this season. It was 

43 points in their one-point vic

Unlike the 110's, the 120's oiu 

much better than was expected of 

them. They only had a 2-2 practice 

season record, but came through in 

the regular season. Coach Anino 

claims that fine team play accounted 

for the squad's excellent perform- 

ances. . 

The significance of team play is 

illustrated in the narrow margins 

by which the Cards won some of 

their games. The team, however, ob-

in six games previous to the Mus-

Coach Anino said the squad's poor 

performance was due to their poor 

unctioning as a unit rather than lack 

of talent. In any case, more was ex- 

pected of these lightweights than 

was produced, especially since they

well. 

HI 2Prexy f s Farewell 

As the day of graduation speedily 

approaches, we are suddenly con- 

fronted with mixed emotions. We 

are happy to be graduating, of 

course, but these four years have 

flown by all too quickly, ami now we 

are loathe to sever the ties which 

have bound us for so long 10 our 

childhood and our high school life. 

We arc grateful to our principal, 

Mr. Pcrino, our teachers, and our 

counselors. I would like to take this 

opportunity in behalf of the gradu- 

ating class to thank them for the 

deep interest they have shown vn our 

education, activities, and genera 

welfare. 

Our class takes leave of Lowel 

with deep affection and sincere re- 

gret aud with the fond hope tha 

more than a few of us will make 

a significant contribution to the 

Lowell record of achievement in the 

years that lie ahead.

Junior Red Cross Helps 

Many During Fall Term 

Congratulations to all Junior Re 

Cross woK--.ers.-vho have really bee 

kept busy the past term. 

During the Christmas season 

Lowell students helped lo spread 

holiday cheer by wrapping presents 

at the Laguna Honda Home. They 

a!so put 011 a program at the San 

Francisco Hospital, and sent out 

over 1,000 Christmas cards. 

The Junior Red Cross aided in 

making the home-coming project a 

wonderful success. Christmas gift 

boxes for Hungary, party favors and 

art work were also among their 

many contributions. 

Many thanks to ail the students 

who ushered for the Jackie organiza- 

tion during its tea and band concert. 

Mr. Perino'sMessage 

To the Graduates 

As we look back to our 1956 Cen- 

tennial Year, we see a series of many 

successful school activities. One par- 

ticularly stands out because it re- 

quired the enthusiastic participation 

of students. Do you remember the 

preparations for the festival of Prog- 

ress Parade in which we exhibited a 

tremendous prize-winning fioat- and 

precision units of our ROTC and 

Band? Those who participated will 

never forget. The more you arc en- 

gaged in school activities the more- 

happy memeorics you will have of 

your years at Lowell. Lowell then 

will become an integral part of your 

life. You will then be possessed by 

the Lowel spirit for the rest of your 

life. 

In a few days the last class of the 

Centennial Year will say goodbye to 

us and embark on another journey. 

Most of them will go to college, to 

work on their last segment of edu- 

cation. Others will get a job and 

begin, their work-life immediately. 

Which ever they choose to do, 

let us wish them good fortune and 

an abundance of energy and will 

power to achieve their objectives.

saddened to hear that Mr. Stanley 

Berry, a teacher at Lowell High

ing scheduled at the Emporium, San 

Francisco will be presented from

Snack Period Stopped; 

Time Length Up fo Us 

On January 15, 1957, the Execu- 

tive Board of the Lowell High 

School Student Association passed 

the motion unanimously that the 

snack period was to be discontinued 

until the littered yards, halls, and the 

court improve. 

Students Cautioned 

For some time now the represent- 

atives of the different registries have, 

been cautioning the students about 

this situation and no improvements 

have been shown. Therefore, the 

cleanup study committee recom- 

mended that the . snack period be 

discontinued until the situation in»- 

proves. When the time comes that 

the student council sees through im- 

provement, the snack period will be 

restored. 

As all you students know, we are 

one of the few high schools in San 

Francisco to have a snack period. 

We have had this snack period for 

many years and it should not have to 

be discontinued because of the stu- 

dents not keeping their school clean 

and Uttering up the hallways and the 

yard. 

Editor's Note: Since so much has been said this year about the present 

and the future, the authors of this epic decided fro go far back into the past. 

It all began on a dark rainy afternoon as I approached the office of my 

friendly psychiatrist, "Old J.A." This afternoon as always, I lay back on 

the coucli, buv somehow it seemed different. Today was special. For today 

"Old J.A. M was going to use his hypnotic powers. Yes, he was going to 

take me back 101 years to the day Lowell was born. 

-Hypnotic .-Powers 

I rested my head back on lhe pillow (without). Xty eyes closed. It was 

very dirk. I grew 'dizzy. My mind srddeniy- became a whirlwind of 

memories—25, 50, then 101 years ago. There it slopped. I guess sub-^* 

consciously because my mind danced a hit tuite "How Many Years Has 

Lowell Been Around ; . . (ciap, clap, dap, clap)??? 

. Yes, there it stopped. It was 1856—right smack ii: the middle of the 

wild and woolly West. It must have been San Francisco because I saw 

many a stagecoach hitchrd out in front of the Marina Greens. 

As I walked down Market Street* I heard shouts of "gold, gold," by 

i several apparently successful prospectors, V;c Saschin, Eddie Zalaya* 

Robert James. Kazuo Nakai, Jim Toba, Walter Chetverikofif, and Ed 

Chavez. Following them was a mass of fellow gold-diggers. Deanna Blight, 

Vicki Green, Helrne Pomerantz, Jackie Edelstein, Irene Bodrov, and 

Shirley Jones. . 

Notorious Gabblers 

I got tired of walking 30 1 hailed the nearest available stagecoach, 

driven by Bob Henry. I d>dv'\ know where I was going so I left it to him. 

He took me to Kurzman's Saloon, run by the two notorious gamblers. 

Rough Mike and Bullets Nagase. I looked around the room. Huddled 

around the gambling tables were Gary Rtchards3 Louis Manrique, Jerry 

Meador, Luis Dorich, and Ken Cooke. Buttering it up with these big 

boys were, Wendy Tibbe, Nadja Klees, Arlene Chu, Gwen Martin, and 

Up to You 

Mr. Perino stated in the bulletin: 

"Your Executive board has made a 

decision concerning your snack time 

that you have compelled them 10 

make. If you fed that snack time is 

more important than Uttered yards, 

halls, court, and streets, than by all 

means show the Executive board 

that you can keep Lowell and the 

surrounding streets clean At lunch 

time!" 

Jo Ann Wheeler. 

The Saloon Spectacular was nbout to begin. As the curtain ascended, 

the,.-Cructcttcs, Sandy Hartinann, Annette Freese, Sandy Gordon, Joyce 

Anderson, Mariko Soma, Shizuko Suto, Terry Hlynsky, Lolanda Murcia, 

Pat Gallyot, and Ruth Good began with their mighty kick, kick, kick. 

My attention wandered—to the bar. The bartenders, Mike Muldoon 

and Tom Meschery refused to serve Ned Ward and George Dagnino their 

"Saspcriilies.** Rushing to tbeir defense were the rest of the Cassidy 

Crowd, Jim Rigney, Shinji Yai, Walter Blau, Gunther Armbrust, and 

j Pierre Cantou. 

Outlaw Pack 

This wasn't the main attraction fcr long. Because there appeared out- 

side a sudden outburst of shooting as the Matzger Banditos left town in 

a hurry. In this outlaw pack were BUI Goldman, Bob Stewart, Jack Yee, 

Tony Mathios, and Ben Tong. Right behind them was the posse. Hot on 

ihc ;rail were Mike Rogers on, Don da don don Laws, Al Lopez, and 

Len Froomin. The posse was good; it was the darn old Sheriff and 

Marshal! that were bad. Marshall Martinez and Sheriff Adacbi wanted to 

finish their checker game. 

The only thin? that could stop Matzger's Madmen were some intrigu- 

ing squaws, Juli Staiger, Jerrell Jacobs, Arlene Knacke, Sette Batistich, 

Jennie Nash, Jeanne Mullen, Terry Pedersen, aud Joyce Anderson from 

the Lowell Tribe. 

It. was there my wonderful thoughts left me until "Old J.A." renewed 

h;s hypnotic powers. My thoughts then turned to the famed Janigian's 

Barhcr Shop. On this memorable day I saw Dick Anderson Craig Swan- 

son, Bruce Cohn getting their ears lowered. While the Barbershcp Quartet 

of Curly Levin, Al Bent, Tom Inoye, and Rich Price sang "We Are Sons 

of Lowell," Pete Carr accompanied them on the flute and Catchy, Casey 

Logwood fiddled away. 

Next door, Elvis rice's horse was being shocd by Doug Z.00. Working 

witii the blacksmith were Cip Espuior, Jack Gibson, Paul Davis, Ralph 

Lachman, Nat Dwosinski, and Bill La Flam me. (It was a tough job.) 

My thoughts then switched to the old Town Meeting. There Mayor 

Hai Abrul appointed Jon Tolson to head the committee for a city-wide 

cleanup drive. On his committee were Joyce Guardino, Joanne Claudio, 

Anne Ikeda, Stan Koenigsberger, Fran Ludlow, Liz Foster, and Chaya 

Jancfsky. 

The meeting was rather noisy, thanks to the Woman's Sewing Circle 

headed by Nancy Maness. Some of the devoted stitchers were Bev 

Middleton, Sue Ginsberg, Terry Trosper, Charlene Peterson, Marty Pyle, 

Bonnie Greene, Marilyn Munter, Pat Marquis, Sue Figel, and Barbara 

Leland. 

Rang, bang, bang—what I had thought was the rap of the Mayor's 

gavel turned out to be the pounding in my head as I awoke and returned 

from my trip into the past

Phyllis-opic Phrases 


Previous to this edition, 1 felt r.o dire nccl to continue one of the tradi- 

tional columns that appeared in The Lowell—tlic editor's column. How- 

ever, sir.ee this is our last edition of the sep'ester, I find there arc several 

things I wish to express, and a column seems to l>c the appropriate place. 

To You—Thanks 

First, and foremost, I sincerely want to thank you, the student body, 

on behalf of the entire newspaper staff, for your cooperation and response 

to the various editions we published this term. We arc pratcful for your 

understanding and tolerance of the mistakes that we made—and there 

were some! Your suggestions and comments were well received, and we 

appreciated immensely your concern for the welfare of the newspaper. 

Also, on behalf of the staff, I want to thank t'e man behind the paper 

Mr. R. J. Buckley. Nfr. Muckley, we are grateful for your continuous 

patience and interest in us. Somehow you :..ive been around whenever 

needed (and that's always!) with a helpful comment or wise advice. For 

your devotion we arc deeply indebted. 

Newspaper Staff 

I personally am nwe than just thankful to the st?ff—those fiithful 

newshawks who laboriously burned the midnight oil before "deadline day" 

to produce their ingenious literary masterpieces. I appreciated your loyalty 

and faithfulness throughout the term more than I can caress. 

Along with your many accomplishments I hope that during that won- 

derful early morning class first period journalism, you have also had many 

laughs and gained many friends. 

Personal Satisfaction 

Serving you, the ncv^paper staff and student body this term has cer- 

tainly been my privilege. I have considered the honor of being elected 

editor of The Lowell one of the memorable (to say the least) experiences 

I have ever had—and, indeed, one of the most enjoyable. 

I earnestly hope I have worked (it really isn't work though) up to 

your expectations, and justified the faith you placed in me this term. Once 

again, thanks for electing me to serve you as editor. I enjoyed every 

minute of it! 

Fellow Seniors 

There has been oaitc a few remarks in this edition about the joy of 

graduating and leaving the "old pile of brick." Perhaos M first glance this 

Mca seems overwhelmingly wonderful, but after a Jitile *nore thought the 

joy of parting turns instead to a feeling of emptiness and sadness. Yes, in 

only two day our class will leave Lowell, but we will leave four years of 

terrific memories and lifelong friends behind us. For our years at Lowell 

have certainly been memorable ones. 

We have gained greatly, and should by now possess adequate prepara- 

tion for the future. It is now up to us as individuals. 

To my fellow classmates about to part, I hope j'ou encounter nothing 

but success a«d happiness in all your endeavors. And I sincerely hope we 

lire all able to meet together sometime in the future.

To Speak at Graduation Soon 

The speakers for graduation day were chosen during a 

class meeting by members of the high senior class. Three stu- 

dents were awarded the honor of representing their das'; on 

their final day of high school. 

Terry Trosper 

Terry Trosper, class essayist, has chosen "Self-Dir.cipline" 

as her topic. When asked to give a quotation, Terry fiscd the 

following: "In itself it (self discipline) is not an ultimate virtue; 

its value lies in making other virtues effective." This quotation 

along with Terry's speech will add to the memories of the high 

senior class. 

Terry's activities around school are the Ushers Reserve, 

Hip Sisters, Shield, and life member*® 

of CSF. A big honor for her was 

placing in the National Merit Scho- 

lastic Awards. 

Jon Tolson 

Class historian for the **$6" gradu- 

ation class is Jon Tolson. He has 

based his speech on a takeoff from 

the poem "Highway Man." In his 

introduction you can sec how the 

minds of the graduates will remem- 

ber their beginning days at Lowell: 

"The school was a torrent of stu- 

dents, the corner of Gr >ve and 

Hayes; the classrooms in a turmoil; 

this was the start of high school 

days." 

Aside from beginning back memo- 

ries to the graduates, Jon won't for- 

get his own memories of being a 

sports editor r.nd a life member of 

CSF. 

Bill Goldman 

Bill Goldman, class valedictorian, 

has been very active around Lowell. 

He is on the scroll, executive board, 

life member of CSF and holds the 

office of Athletic Manager. Bill has 

spent a great deal, of time in Foren- 

sics and placed sixth in the nation in 

oratory, according to the rating of 

the National Forensics Society. An- 

other of Bill's achievements was to 

place in the National Mcitt Scholas- 

tic Awards.

SPORTS 

PHIL-INS 

By 

WISEMAN 

After the comc-from-bchind win by the varsity baskcthallcrs in the 

opener, it looks apparent that Lowell will be .1 top contender this season. 

I definitely think that the Lowell varsity will be in the playoffs, and 

after that, well, your guess is as Kuod as mine. 

STAR IS FOUND 

A mediocre golf player from last year's golf team has apparently hit 

his peak.by firing- a 72 at Lincoln gt !f course last Friday. His name is 

Richard Kandcl, L-12, 5'9" and wtighs 155 pounds. He plans to attend 

Stanford to try to become a Dr. Cary Middlcccff. 

HATS TIPPED TO STAFF 

Well now let's move to the mushy part of the column. As you faithful 

readers might know, this is the last edition of The Lowell that comes out 

this tenn. This is the senior edition of the paper. 

Jr. the past it lias been the custom and tradition that the last paper of 

each term be entirely devoted to the high and mighty seniors, and far be 

it for me, a "lowly" low senior, to break the time-honored tradition. 

The sports staff of The Lowell sincerely hopes you have enjoyed this 

term's papers, especially the sports page. As your sports editor, I have 

tried to make the articles on the sports page interesting, up to date, and 

easy to read. 

I have added a football contest to enlighten the interest of buying 

papers, and also the chance to win valuable prizes at the same time. 

I think the idea of Girl Athlete of the Week had every girl reading the 

sports page to find out if she was the Athlete. 

I would like to thank the people that helped me with the sports page 

this term. Bryan Gould, who had a hard job, covered all phases of the 

football picture. 

Bruce Colin, high senior president, had a doubly hard job. He was very 

wrapped up in all his high senior activities, but still found time to help 

me out. Richard Gugcuhimc, although not taking journalism, found time to 

cover the cross country events. 

Thanks to Mr. Buckley for also helping out on the page.This is his 

last paper, so bou v oyagc Mr. Buckley. It has been a great term working 

with you. 

The only other writer for the sports page is Jon Tolson. Jon came 

through ;*.vith a story when ever I needed one and proved to be a terrific 

clpl "Thanks Jon, your a real friend. 

It's been a fine team and I sincerely wish the sports editor of next 

t-r the.best of luck and all the fun I've had. 

Swim Team on Its 

Way for Good Year 

Although small in number the 

Lowell High swimming team is ex- 

pected to make a good arcount of 

itself in the coming season. Back 

from last year's team, which finished 

with a 2-5 record, is all-city candidate 

Ralph Gilman, who performed spec- 

tacularly in each meet in which he 

swam. 

Other returning veterans, who 

Coach Foiling hopes will make 

Lowe!! a top team, arc last year's 

captain Ed McKcnna, Pete Urrea, 

Tom Hutchins, Ed Shaskan, Larry 

Tambor, and Pete Ointou. Up from 

the 130-pouud team ccme Cliff San- 

sot, Bob Urrca. Kirk Pctrovic, and 

Josh Eppingcr. 

In the lightweight divisions: such 

swimmers as Brad Nicol, Rickey 

Colslcy, Pete Samuels, John Marks, 

Frank Saiisot, and R. Kicol will do 

their best to represent Lowell as 

well if not better than they did hist 

year. 

Such stars as Giiman, McKcnna, 

Shaskan, Eppinger. Colsky, :Mark:», 

Cliff San sot. Brad Kicol, and Pete 

Urrta combine to give all- three 

divisions the nucleus for a powerful 

team in 1957. Newcomers who may

Po'y Takes Double 

Wfn Over Indians 

Polytechnic's championship bound 

varsity basketball team kept its un- 

lei'eatcd record intact by downing a 

outth Lowell squad 43 to Z7 before 

the biggest crowd of the prep .season 

last Friday at Kczar. The Low ell 

30* s suffered another loss, 43 to 36, in 

the preliminary contest. 

The Parrots went into an early 

lead and managed 10 keep out in 

front by from one to six points most 

of the game. Their all-around height 

advantage was about the difference 

between the two teams. 

Jim Caranica turned in his best 

shooting job of the season to lead 

the scoring for both squads with IK 

points. Second high point man for 

the Indians was Tom Meschcry who 

tanked 14 markers along with doing 

most of the rebounding.

Lowell Riders in Annual Horseskow 

On Tuesday evening, January 8, 

the Lowell Riding Club presented its 

annual horscshow at Mar Vista 

Stables. AH together there were 

about sixty-six participants entered 

in the nine events. 

The Blue Ribbon winners from 

each class were: Dcginncrs—Linda 

Fensky; Non Blue—Carol Heaney; 

English Advanced—Sue Figel; In- 

termediate Pairs—Gail Melmon and

pated in the Drill Team were Reva

read, Miroi Frazer, and Sandy Sher- 

man, who was high point winner of 

the entire show. Also riding were 

Sue Mayers and Ginny Gregg, mem-

Everyone seemed to agree that the 

horseshow was very successful as 

was proven by the large number of 

spectators present. 

Zcigler, Bill Reid, John Roston, and 

Joe Lcichcnstein. 

The f'cl-nj; of many members of 

the team is that determination, tal-

Varsity Cagers Squeeze 

Through for Crucial Win 

Although trailing by three points at halfttme, $he Lowell 

hasketballers rallied to snare their league opener 30-21 against 

a stubborn Washington five at Keâr Pavilion on January 18 

With the exception of a quick two pointer by Rich Hudson, the 

Indians were on the low end of the score throughout the first 

half. 

The hustling Eagles ran rings around the Redmen as they 

held Lowell, and Meschcry in particular, scoreless for eight 

minutes. Jt wasn't until after the intermission whr\ Jim Cara- 

nica tanked a 15-foot jump shot and added two charities that the 

Hayes Street boys were in front to stay. 

Score 11 Straight 

The Lowell-men did not let up as Meschery spearheaded a 

drive that accounted for 11 straight points. Tom accounted for 

seven of those, six via tips. During this stretch Washington 

netted only two points. 

Meschery, who at times was triple teamed, couldn't find the 

range in the first half, missing four attempts from the floor and 

free throw. Nick Caranica also 

found the basket not to his likinc 

and repeatedly saw his two pointers 

bounce out of the bucket. 

Hammond Stars 

The Eagles took advantage of 

Lowell's inaccuracy and paced by 

guard Bob Hammond whisked to a 

7-S advantage entering the second 

period. Hammond, the game's high 

scorer with 11, got six points before 

the half and held the Washington 

team together with his "Globe- 

trotter" dribbling and general team 

leadership. 

Jack Tause, making his first var- 

sity appearance for the Lowell quin- 

tet, turned in a very respectable floor 

game. Also playing a sound game 

was Rich Hudson, who along with 

Tausc will have to take up the slack 

left by Meschery at h?U season.

130's Lose Opener 

To Washington High 

LowcKs lightweight cagers, after 

playing a good first half, fell before a 

highly regarded Washington five at 

Kczar Pavilion by a score of 64 to 

39. The Papooses playing their first 

league game, showed a lot of class 

that will make them strong playoff 

contenders. 

In the firs; half the Indians slowed 

the usually fast breaking Washing- 

ton team to a walk. With the score 

29 to 20 in favor of Washington at 

the half, it looked as though Lowell 

was going to make a ball game of it. 

Indians Tire 

But as the third quarter started it 

became evident that the Papooses 

were tiring. Washington started to 

intercept passes and drive through 

tltc Indians' zone defense for easy 

layups. From then on it was all 

Washington. Ed Shaskan was high 

scorer for Lowell with 9 points. 

The Lowell thirties had a poor 

practice season record this year, win- 

ning two and losing seven. Their 

two wins were over Hay ward and 

Drake. Their losses came at the 

hands of McCIymonds, Capuchino, 

San Mateo, Oakland Tech, Maine da, 

Fremont and Mountain View. 

During the practice: season Ed 

Shaskan and Magnus Kagasc led the 

team in scoring. ShaV«can, the start- 

ing center, is very fast and has a 

good jump shot;' Magase, who will 

graduate at mid-season, has z. good 

set shot and is an excellent ball- 

handler.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, FEBRUARY IS, 1957 

Musicians in Demand:]New Veep Johnston 

Alfo Sax to Zither 

The one-third turnover resulting 

from the semester break and gradua- 

tion has vacated a number of posi- 

tion!; in both the orchestra and the 

h.-uul. Since the instrumental music 

department -iticipatcs an unusually 

active spring semester, it is neccs- 

s:iry to fill these vacancies rapidly. 

Band Openings 

There arc o tcnings in the band for 

all types of musicians. Baritone, 

French horn and trombone players 

and good saxophonists with concert 

experience arc sought. Flutes and 

clarinets are needed. Those who play 

less familiar instruments such as 

oboe .ind bassoon arc always in 

tpont instrumental music until 

[heir senior year, which is too late 

allow them the full benefits of 

[uch courses. He urges that those 

•ho omit band and orchestra due to 

ick of time talk with him about pos. 

ibie schedule adjustments. 

Credit and Activities 

The band meets in the mornings at 

a.m. and the course may be taken 

[ithcr for or without credit. Students 

iking it for credit are excused one 

riod early each day. Both the band 

d the orchestra participate in many 

Lowell's activities, including dra- 

utic affairs and festivals. 

Among the Alumni 

Mr. Krieger believes that allowing 

tudents to assume many responsi- 

[ilitics in class, such as conducting, 

contributed to the success of sev- 

il former pupils. Among these are 

irl Murray, director of the San 

[randsco Symphony and a former 

nvell band leader and trumpeter, 

toward Dudune, a progressive jazz 

irinetist, drummers Jim Dalrymple 

id Jim Burke, and Paul Desmond 

' the Dave Brubeck Quartet. 

Dance Comm. Head 

Thcs Spring '57 Dance Commit- 

tee is headed by our vice president, 

Sharon Johnston. The other mem- 

bers arc Sue Giles, Rich TurnSiell, 

Ann Knocdlcr, Zoanuc Harris, Afary 

Hodges, and Nancy Law. 

This term the qualifications were 

changed a little. An applicant had 

to have at least a 25 honor count in 

the second report card of last term 

and a 25 honor count or more in the 

term previous to that. 

After satisfying this requirement a 

group of pcopit- was chosen and all 

their names were sent to every 

teacher in the school. If, for any rea- 

son, a teacher feh a person wasn't 

qualified he was to send a report 

to Mr. Anino. These reports were 

looked into and some students were 

disqualified. 

This term the Dance Committee 

had students from every class in the 

school. 

The duties of the Dance Commit- 

tee U to plan all our dances. This 

involves choosing themes, decorat- 

ing the gym, selling tickets, getting 

bids printed, and making arrangc- 

| ments for the music. 

Usually a dance is sponsored by 

one of the organizations around 

school. This group works with the 

Dance Committee. 

The first activity on the commit- 

tee's calendar is the dence next 

Thursday night The CSF is spon- 

soring this dance. According to 

Sharon, "It should really -be great 

and your committee has been work- 

ing very hard." l .,; r

|The Executive Beard registry 102, 

created last term. In the ten

bers of the club include Bob Muller,

Barney Wolf, sponsor of the Block 

L, stated recently, "The Block L 

isn't what it used to be. I'd like very 

much to get ft back on its feet 

again." 

The purpose of the Block L is to 

bring boy,s from all sports together 

to promote the athletic program at 

Lowell. This organization is com- 

posed ot boys who have earned this 

distinction under a point system. 

In order to be in the Block L, a 

boy must earn a block by participa- 

tion in a sport for a certain amount of 

time cr by having been a manager or 

taking par: in a musical program. 

Student Body Cards 

Going! Going! Gone! 

Student body cards went on. sale 

the first day of the spring term. Ac- 

cording to Rich Guggenhime, stu- 

dent body treasurer, 1077 cards were 

sold on the second day of school. 

Four registries were quick to be 100 

per cent. 

The first to be 100 per cent was 

H9 registry 207. L-ll registry 139 

placed second, and third place went 

to H-12 regvsuy 109. H-12 registry 

308 ranked fo.urth place when they 

reached 100 per cent on the second 

day. 

Maybe you ate wondering what 

privileges one has with a student 

tody card. With it, one is entitled 

to attend g&mes and school dances. 

Some theaters give students reduc- 

tions, if they have a student body 

card in their possession. 

Important Factor 

One of the most important factors 

in owning a student body card is 

that you are a part of the school. 

Your student body card officially 

makes you a member of the Lowell 

High School Student Association. 

The job of promoting the sale of 

these cards is left to all registry 

treasurers. Help them, your school, 

and most important of all, yourself- 

by buying your student body card.

How They Were Chosen

dent of our student body, Paul Dis- 

terheft and Sharon Johnston, had *o 

choose the students they felt w^re 

most quaiinid to hold the position. 

AH the while Utcy had to keep in 

mind that according to the now con- 

stitution they were limited to 12 

students and they must be evenly 

distributed among the entire student 

body. 

This last factor is important be-

An American Scholar in Old Lol's Court 

(D. A. McGrewing, a prominent 

anthropologist, recently announced 

that he has discovered on the Pacific 

Coast a walled city known as Lol, 

which has supported a complex 

civilization for a century or more. 

He has spent the past five months in 

Lol studying this civilization and 

we here publish excerpts from his 

findings.) 

"There are four distinct types, and 

several sub-types of humans repre- 

sented here, beginning with a variety 

of pygmy known scientifically as 

Frcsch Man. Next come Soph Man, 

Hcidcleven Man, and Twelt Man. 

There is in addition a small group of 

unclassified individuals who, despite 

the advanced tools and weapons 

available, continue to utilize the jaw. 

bone. 

A rigid caste system exists in Lol. 

At the summit is Twelf Man and at 

the foot, Frcsch Man. The unclassi- 

fied individuals are generally consid- 

ered to be underfoot. Rotation often 

occurs among the four main divi- 

sions, as the system seems to be 

based not on birth but on size and 

cunning. The fifth division, however, 

may achieve change only through 

revolution. > "• 

The female occupies a strange po- 

sition in this society. She is down- 

trodden—especially in passageways 

—and rather neglected, on the 

whole. The average male appears to 

be either utterly unaware or mortally, 

afraid of her. 

The supreme deity of Lot's civili- 

zation is called Cha-Heeph Lol. He 

often appears at the vast outdoor 

meetings held before wars are waged 

on neighboring tribes. Of great im- 

portance at these ceremonies is a 

subordinate deity, Yal Leetir, who 

offers prayrrs for no rain, does cere- 

monial dances, and leads war chants, 

urging support for the war party. 

The language used by these people 

bears striking resemblance to mod- 

ern English, but these appear to be 

only phonetic Words rarely mean, 

in Lolish, what they do in English. 

For example, a "cat" is not an ani- 

mal but a person, and "frozen cat" is 

not a phrase applied to a thoroughly 

refrigerated feline, but an expression 

of admiration or respect. A "hall" 

is not a passageway but a vast and 

complicated roadblock; 

The standard form of wearing ap- 

parel for the four main divisions U 

ivy. The fifth division is allowed 

nothing but knce-Iength hair shirts 

and clogs. 

There is a great fondness among 

these people for the colors red and 

white, but since ivy is seldom found 

in such shades, they customarily 

wear red and white eyeballs evrry 

six weeks. 

' Although several forms of musi- 

cal expression are known to the 

Lois, the most popular seems to be a 

throwback from either the Glacial 

or the Stone Age, known appropri- 

ately as "rock and roll." 

• • • 

Much remains to be learned of 

Lol's civilization. There are vast 

histories, perhaps even historians, 

among these rocks. The key to their 

discovery lies in an ancient Lolish 

maxim: "Dig, dig, dig .. .V 

every grade, the rallies be 

l be 

planned so that they satisfy all the 

members of the student body. After 

their selection for ths 12 members 

was madft, it was sent to the faculty 

for'screening. 

Duties 

While they are members of the 

rally committee, they have two main 

duties. First, they help plan the ral- 

lies and second, they assist in their 

actual running.

low and high seniors. 

Selection of Members 

Members of both groups are sel- 

ected on a basis of outstanding ser- 

vice to the school and scholarship. 

Some of their duties are to show 

newcomers around school, and usher

Are you wondering about all the 

strange giggles you heard last Wed-

we, so being noaey reporters we de- 

cided to find ouc just what the ca 

was. 

The faculty was holding a lunch- 

eon in honor of the nrwly-married 

Mrs, Kingsbury. The gathering of 

Tribesmen (and women)'was'called 

together by Mis3 Mctcalf, chairman 

of the Lowell Faculty Association, 

Mr. Woon and Mr. Regcilo, new 

members, were introduced by Mr. 

Perino. 

A silver vegetable dish wa3 pre- 

sented to Mrs. Kingsbury from the 

faculty. The presentation was pre- 

ceded by a short skit depicting the 

courtship of the former Miss Urn- 

land.

Curfew OK'd Generally 1 

At present, o.ic of the most, controversial subject* among 

teenagers is the curfew. Though widely discussed in the home 

or in the classroom, there seems to bo a general trend U'wnnls 

approval, even though numerous arguments, both pro and con 

are given on the subject'. 

To merely take the side of the parent is unwise, as their 

v»c\vs tend to be too biased and generally do not comply with 

those ideas of the teenagers. In consideration of this, members of 

the Lowell student body have been asked to present personal 

opinions on the matter and the result showed a vast majority 

in favor of the curfew, which presently stands at a "lenient" 

11:00 p.m. 

Public Protection 

One of the "pro" arguments in regard to the law is public 

protection. There is no sense in kidding ourselves. Teenage 

delinquents have become a tremendous threat to the welfare 

of a large city such as ours and the average citizen needs and 

deserves strict police action in such cases. It has been proven 

time and again that curfew enforcement has greatly helped 

to prevent an instigated crime. When an innocent bystander 

;> injured or killed, no amount of remorse can undo the wrong 

Family Responsibilities 

On the other hand, many students feel thru juvenile instruc- 

tion should be taken care of in the home and not be left up to 

ibc police force. Granted. Earn parent is responsible for his 

diild and should be able to account lor his actions at all times. 

Unfortunately, this does not hoM true in all cases, and the 

policeman must use his own discretion in taking action against 

the offender. To loiter in "he streets after designated hours is 

a legal offense. However, if a group of teenagers is approached 

after hours atid questioned by a policeman, and iC they give a 

logical reason for their whereabouts, they are generally not 

bothered further and merely told to continue on their way. 

Curfew Approved 

General acceptance of the curfew seems to present,

By BILL HEID 

The staff of The Lowell has de- 

cided to see how the other half lives. 

Mr. Peri no has given '.!S permission 

to visit uther schools and we of 

The Lowell snapped up this privi- 

lege instantly. Our first visit was to 

Washington and, to our utter amaze- 

mtut, we had an interesting and 

pleasant morning. 

As Ooiis Kahn and I walked into

Service Societies 

As at Lowell, service societies play 

a hip part in the lives of the Wash- 

ington students. The G.S.S. and 

F.aplrs arc the equivalent of our 

Shield snd Scroll. However, the 

selection of members to these so- 

cieties differs slightly from Lowell's

Students :n this group are the

they take pride in doing their job

doesn't have a chance. 

The Block W is composed of

NeighborsComment 

On Lowell Manners 

People who run shops around the 

vicinity of Lowell were the target 

of roving reporters recently. The 

purpose was to find out their reac- 

tions to having a place of business 

near a high school. In general, the 

proprietors agreed that the students 

were well behave!. 

Good Accounts 

At the Wigwam, the owners gave 

an especially good account. To quote 

them, "Young kids want to enjoy 

themselves and we appreciate them.** 

They further went on to say that 

most arc "good boys" and "quiet, j 

good girls" and ihcre might possibly 

be only a very small percentage who 

act "rowdy/ 

The owner for 56 years of the 

Lowell Pharmacy said it was "very 

nice" being near Lowell and should 

Lowell move, it wouldn't ruin his 

business because other people who 

don't like to go to a place crowded 

with students would come. 

Jose replied that it is "good busi- 

ness" to be near Lowell and he has 

no complaints in all the 10 years he 

has had his store across the street. 

Lowellites O.K. 

At Carl's Shoe Shop came the 

statement. "The boys are O.K.", 

while a cleaner replied that it didn't 

make any difference being nvar the 

school. 

A very busy place, Johnnie's, was 

next. Here tome reporters said that 

the following was given in regard to 

the students: 

"Outside of the students being 

very careless with papers, I have no 

complaints. 1 enjoy the kids." 

A launderette owner commented 

that outside of guys parking in the 

green zone, everything is O.K. 

At Lee's Grocery, Lee said that 

the majority of the kids arc all right. 

So, then, it can be assumed that 

Lowell High students are generally 

respected by uiir iieigiiboring mer- 

chants, and that if any rowdyism oc-

Office Observations 

If you had the chance to just roam from one office 

.„ another on the main floor, you would probably be 

Surprised at many things. Following are a few of the 

tiling found:

Hidden Treasure: Miss Lorigan's office. Tucked 

;in ay in cabinets arc editions of the Red and White, 

dating hack to 1898, and bound editions of The Lowell!

lirst name given to the Red and White WAS The Low- 

ell? 

n you are looking for the stage drapes used for the 

la-t Variety Show /you will find them there. Also 

kept in this busy office is equipment for song- and 

t-ViT-Icading, and banners. 

Many unsuspected articles come to this office. "When 

in doubt, the searchers come here and usually find 

what they are looking for," says Miss Lorigan. 

Wire Service 

Those assisting Miss Harrison in the main office 

have the problem of getting the wires crossed. This is 

because m the switchboard which was installed not 

very long ago. When wishing to speak to someone in 

another office, a button is pressed and—presto—you 

are connected. 

I'm Late 

Arc you ever late to school? Arc your excuses good 

and logical? Fumilair to most Lowcllitcs,is Miss Kahn, 

in charge of the attendance office. She declared that 

she doesn't like "rainy mornings when a student's ex- 

cuse for tardiness is that the bus driver was slow and 

made him late."

Pearl River High School in Pearl River. New York, 

lias just done something which gives Lo\vc!Htc5 one 

more reason for loving Lowell: it has installed a "tele- 

vision eye" in the study hall, which enables The prin- 

cipal to tune :n on the proceedings at will. 

This device is calculated to discourage daydream- 

ing. The very thought of sitting in a chair and being

SFYA— 

What Is It? 

The muffled sound of youthful 

cries is heard above the oeric music. 

The room, richly draped with ori- 

ental finery, is in complete darkness.! 

Suddenly the deep rumbling ring of j 

the gong is heard above thc noise.: 

bringing quiet to the room, and sig- 

naling the dispcrscment of thc con- 

gregation. 

What is it? A seance? A meeting 

of Indian snake-charmers? A gather- 

ing of a weird Hindu cult? Nope! 

It's only a few members of thc 

SFYA interviewing Mr. Hayakawa, 

noted authority on semantics, and 

just one of the many interesting per- 

sonalities to be interviewed by this 

group. 

Radio Show 

A few of the other big names who 

have or might be 'Hallcing with the 

lecns" arc Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, 

Henry Ford, Harry Truman, and J. 

Edgar Hoover. 

Don't get thc wrong idea, though, 

these interviews are not just for 

SFY-A'crs alone. They can be heard 

on KCBS radio on Sundays from 

2:30 to 3:00. 

Chatting with celebrities, though 

interesting, is not thc only function 

of this organization. Among other 

things, thc members produce a radio 

program, sponsor projects for chari- 

ty and relief, aid in thc placemen! of 

San Francisco youth in paying and 

volunteer jobs, and inform thc pub- 

lic of youth activities. 

City Wide Program 

On thc agenda of the SFYA is a 

city-wide youth conference sched- 

uled for March 23, at USF. Thc 

theme will be "Keys to the Futme." 

Thc program will include panel dis- 

cussions, speeches, and talks, which 

will be heard from such dignitaries 

as the governor, thc mayor, and 

others, and will include topics rang- 

ing from world peace to the social 

life of teen-agers. 

Lowell's representatives to this or- 

ganization arc Diane Sachs, Gayle 

Crcighton, Alan May, Lcanna Levy, 

Leonard Snaider, Marcia Grubstick, 

Sue Clarke, and Vince Fernandez. 

Miss Mathisen,who is Lowell's spon- 

sor for thc San Francisco Youth As- 

sociation, should be contacted for 

any details about joining this youth 

group. 

Thc Student Council is an or- 

ganization of reg representatives 

which is formed to jsive the student 

an idea of what's going on around 

school. Each rcg rep. is to be present 

at all meetings. What is said t't these 

meetings he must bring back to his 

rcg. Another of his jobs is to bring 

up at these meetings any particular 

complaints or suggestions the mem- 

bers of his class may have. 

This system helps to build a more 

dtinocratic school by letting thc stu- 

dents have some jurisdiction over 

various school activities and prob- 

lems—such as rallies, dances, assem- 

blies, picnics .projects, school clean- 

liness, and student government. 

Officers Elected 

This term thc council has already 

taken several steps. On February 

13, they held their organizational 

meeting and thc following week they 

elected their new president, A. J. 

Laymon and his able assistant, Sue 

Giles, clerk. On February 1.9. Mr. 

Pcrino spoke to thc group inform- 

ing them of their parliamentary du- 

ties. They've already begun to dis- 

cuss their first issue, cleanliness 

around the school. 

called to order by President Paul 

Disterheft. Thursday, February 21, 

at 8:20. They then proceeded to fill 

out their program cards. At 8:35 

thc meeting was again resumed. 

Peter Tietzc proceeded to read the 

minutes of the last meeting. 

Cleanup Committee 

The people in charge of the clean- 

up committee are Ken Kelly, chair- 

man, Rich Guggenhimc, Doris Kahn, 

Dianne Johnson, Everett Stchn, and 

Peter Tietzc. The Big Brothers, Big 

Sisters, Shield, and Scroll will go to 

registries and discuss thc cleanup 

campaign. Posters would also be put 

about thc school. 

Suggestions 

Peter Tictze suggested that we 

have a special rally and emphasize 

cleanup. This was deemed unadvis- 

able by thc administration. Then 

Diane Horowitz proposed rallies 

during lunch time. Carl Berry 

thought that picking up papers might 

serve as a penalty for students who 

ran afoul of the Lowell code. 

New Business 

Mr. Pcrino stated that a photog- 

rapher was coining to school and 

would take pictures of averybody 

during his gym class. Twenty wallet- 

sized photos would cost $1.50. 

Lowell grads Jocelyn Vollmar, left, and Nancy Johnson, right, are both 

active members of. the San Francisco Ballet. Nancy was graduated with 

the class of June 1949, and Jocelyn with that of June 1943.

Besides having a wonderful sight- 

seeing tour and dancing, tins group 

is helping to spread American good- 

will. 

Standing at work in the physics lab are inventors Stan Abinanti, left, and 

Jerry Weiner, right. 

Three Guys and One Induction Furnace 

Have you ever heard of an induction furnace? No? Well, chances arc 

you will, because three San Francisco high school students, two from 

Lowell and one from Lincoln .have built one. 

Thc two from Lowell are Stan Abinanti and Jerry Wcincr. Stan is a 

L12 and Jerry a Lll. With their other partner Warren Rauscher, they 

have, in a basement workshop, constructed probably thc first "Thcrma- 

tron. 

Thc Thcruiivtron, resembling a ham radio set, heats things, such as met- 

als, electronically. This electronic furnace, instead of heating the sub- 

stance externally, docs it infernally. 

The invention, still not perfect, will be used as a laboratory device to 

aid in many experiments. 

The Ihrec started their electronic interests several years ago, reading 

•hooks then working on radios. 

Stan and Jerry both plan to go into some phase of electronic engineer- 

ing, while Rauscher is going into nuclear physics. 

For the scientiiicilly minded or the "just plain interested," thc elec- 

tronic frrnace will be entered in thc forthcoming Science Fair, where 

to all indications it will rank high. 

Classes Fill 

Empty Chairs 

Did you hear a lot of roars and 

.screams coming from thc auditorium 

a couple of weeks ago? It was prob- 

ably the upper classmen letting ev- 

eryone know who their favorite can- 

didates were. 

Almost a hundred students stood 

before their rwn class members ask- 

ing for votes. 

In their last election as a class, the 

high and mighty seniors elected Dan 

Buttulpli ai their president- .As H12

Tn their first meeting as a class the 

low juniors elected Rich Shemano, 

president; June Spcr.cc, vice presi- 

dent ; Sue Lunde, secretary; nnd 

Dave Paslin, treasurer. 

They're At It Again 

Once again the low'iO's will slave 

for a week and a half during the 

sophomore testing program. The 

test will be from March 4 to Xfarch 

12 in their sophomore goals class. 

A grarlc is not given, so it is im- 

possible to flunk. And studying is ac- 

tually not necessary. The tests are 

to show how much you learned from 

your grammar through junior high 

school days. 

Don't worry about the tost; Just 

sit down and relax. Ir you're absent 

one or more days and miss a test, 

there's nothing to worry about for 

you'll have to make them up another

results will tell you what yonr best

Atop the Totem PoJe 

By BILL REID 

The staff of The Lowell has de- 

cided to sec how the other half lives. 

Mr. FVrino has given us permission 

to visit other schools and we of 

The Lowell snapped up this privi- 

lege insr.t:it)y. Our first visit was to 

Washington and, to our titter amaze- 

ment, we had an interesting and 

pleasant morning. 

As Doris Kahn and I walked'into 

the editorial room of The Eagle, 

Washington's school paper, we were 

greeted with great enthusiasm and 

immediately ushered on a Cook's 

Tour of the school. The building and 

the beautiful murals in the main hall 

created a very favorable impression 

students «nd faculty made us feel 

upon us. 

Service Societies 

As at Lowell, service societies play 

a big part in the lives of th.; Wash- 

ington students. . The C-* *. and 

Eagles are the cvunvaicnr -os our 

Shield and Scroll. However, the 

sclectiou of members to these so- 

cieties differs slightly from Lowell's 

method. At Washington students arc 

nominated by teachers and members, 

and if they have enough points—the 

points being awarded for attitude, 

service to tîe school, and scholastic 

standings—tiic situlctiis arc elected 

into the societj*. 

An honor wh*ch is bestowed only 

upon seniors and which is consid- 

ered a definite privilege by Wash- 

ington students is admittance into 

the Scarlet and Grey. 

Students iu this %rou\> are the 

school's hall guards, and believe me, 

they lake pride in doing their job 

well. A student wandering in the 

halls at Washington without a pass 

doesn't have a. chance. 

The n lock W is composed of 

members who have earned their let- 

ters competing in GAA sports, while 

the Lcttcrman is a duplicate of our 

own Hlock I.. Students who wear the 

grey block \V at Washington arc 

really looked up to. One of the 

duties oi the Lettcrmen is to patrol 

the cafeteria at lunchtiiue to sec: that 

all trash is deposited in the righ: 

place. 

When the issue of dirty halls and 

campus came up, we were told of a 

very effective method of keeping a 

clean campus. At Washington every 

two weeks out of the term, five regs 

nre assigned this job. Members ot 

the regs check out slicks designed 

for picking up papers and paper bags 

during lunch and proceed to police 

the campus. They are supervised by 

a responsible person from each reg. 

Failure io iiclp iu this chute results 

in a U or \V in reg. 

MARILYN BRAVERMAN 

j Pert, pretty, and petite aptly de- 

scribe the 5 foot 2 inch blonde that 

is sitting way up there, high on the 

otcm pole. She is Marilyn "Mambic" 

Bravcrman who is the vice-president 

of the Shield this semester. This 

high senior f.irl is also on the Hlock 

L and Hig Siste-i. 

If you scv* Mamhic in the halls and 

j she doesn't say "hi" don't think she 

is a snob. It's just that she d^c>n't 

wear her glasses and unfortunately 

s'.ic can't sec without them. People 

who don't realize the circumstances 

and rail i»er a snob rate as her pet 

peeve. 

When asked if she spent her leis- 

ure moments reading pood books c 

listening; to classical music, Mambic 

shook her head. The creative and 

artistic way in which she spends her 

free time is target-shooting with her 

15-B ûn. "Oh grunge" rates first as 

her favor; y " expression. 

Her idea of a big evening would 

be to go "someplace different" with 

that certain somebody and cat pump- 

pie. 

RON MONTELEONE 

Perhaps you've seen this little 

Injun with .1 lot of spirit, and a 

Hlock L sweater that* too large. 

He's 5*6" tall and his newly acquired 

driver's license says he weighs 100, 

but he says he actually weighs 104 

pounds. He's a number of the Block 

L Society and the Hig Brothers. 

•\n example of his school spirit: 

he has run for class president in his 

Lll and Hll year and for treasurer 

in his L12 and H12 class, and also 

lor yell leader twice, once being 

screened out. N'ot having won any 

of these offices, he always repeatr 

grimly, "Never say tiic.** He isn't a 

constant loser, however. He has won 

two elections while at 1.0we'll, for

On Lowell Manners 

People who run shops around the 

vicinity of Lowell were the target 

of roving reporters recently. The 

purpose was to find out their reac- 

tions to having a place of business 

near a high school. In general, the 

proprietors agreed that the students 

were well behaved." 

Good Accounts 

At the Wigwam, the owners gave 

an especially good account. To quote 

them, "Young kids want to enjoy 

themselves and we appreciate them." 

They further went on to say that 

most are "good boys" and "quiet, 

good girls" and there might possibly 

Just fill in tliv Mat.

Dancing Dollies 

Her/s a sure one for the books. Seen donning a very glamorous gar|, 

Thursday night indeed was none other than our own little Desiree Kaplan 

May 1 comment on your exquisite taste in gold mesh slippers, very charm,

Wen- you dancing cheek to check? Well then, just ask Rhoda Cohan, 

Bert Ponig; Mambie Braverman, Paul Disterheft; Carolyn Susnow, Ralph 

Daniels, Scott Maclnnis or Sue Mayers who it was. I'll bet all the guilty 

parlies would say, "I don't know." 

The busy bees who were guilty ot pulling pizzas after the dancr -n

Ed McKenna, Carolyn Broberg; Brad Wait, Sandy Lawrence; Ci.;.

Surprise, Surprise 

A surprise birthday party was given by Nadine Vuyas for Carol Hoppe. 

Seen digging into the birthday cake without any hesitation were Patti 

Murray, Elissa Chatterbug Abaurrea, Jean Robertson, Wcrdy Wilson, 

Diane Irizary, Joyce Mecklenburg, Jane Mightie Mouse Vargo, Jean 

Hollingsworth and Eleanor Mrs. B. Mcnzel. 

Who was the littlest pig? Which one of you spilled coke down your 

skirt from laughing so hard: And who let out a surprise before it was 

time? All in all, a great time was had byall. 

Parties, Parties, Parties 

The night was Kriday. The scene was Bryan Gould's house. All was 

quiet then out of the night a mad scream—Kucich is here! Whom? WV. 

Bob, of cour £. A creak and a chair collapses! Who? Kon^ other than Bob 

Germano, alongside of him his gal Anita O'Brian. The door is open—i;'; 

a party; so charging in are of course A. J. Laymon, Lynn Becker, Donna 

Ruggani, Bob Streltzoff, Elaine Ruud, Tony Patch, and Bill Lambert. 

AH of a sudden, a smashing at the door is heard, why it's only sweet, 

quiet and reserved Glen Burns with, of course, Linda Briggs. The party 

now gets into full swing with Bob trying to burn down the house. As we 

depart, a lullabyc is dedicated to us by the football team choir. 

Snow Capped Mountains 

This week-end seemed to be- the skier's holiday. Off to them there

The owner for 36 years of the 

Lowell Pharmacy said it was **vcry 

nice** being near I-owell and should 

Lowell move, il wouldn't ruin his 

business because- other peoplr who 

don't like to go to a place crowded 

with students would come. 

Jose replied that it is "good busi- 

ness" to be near Lowell and he has 

no complaints in all the 10 years he 

has had his store across the street. 

Lowellites O.K. 

At Carl's Shoe Shop came the 

statement, "Ths boys arc O.K.", 

while a cleaner replied that it didn't 

make any difference being near the 

school. 

A very busy place, Johnnie's, was 

next. Hen some reporters said that 

the following was given in regard to 

the students: 

"Outside of the studenu being 

very careless with papers, I have no 

comptotnts. I enjoy the kids." 

A launderette owner commented 

that outside of guys parking in the 

green zone, everything is O.K. 

At Lee's Grocery, Lee said llt.it 

the majority of the kids arc all right. 

So, then, it can be assumed that 

Lowell High students are generally 

respected by our neighboring mcr-

OSH-ING 

By EPPINGER 

Recently the city high school football coact.^s recommended that a 

separate ch.tmpion be crowned in tlw: round robin and in the playoffs. This 

system would replace the present day foul hall system where a team can 

RO through the round robin schedule with nary a hand laid upon them 

ant' then be upended by a fired up fourth p!acc team in the playoffs. Why 

shouldn't this team which went through the schedule untouched, receive 

some recognition? This new system seems to answer that problem. 

Another issue that came into the picture was conducting the football 

playoffs in the same manner as the basketball playoffs. Tins is done on 

the basis of giving the round robin champ one point and if the champ is 

•beaten in the playoffs, there is an extra game to decide the city champ. 

The reason this system can't be put into effect is that the football schedule 

is made out so that the championship game is on Thanksgiving day and if 

the round robin champ did lose in the playoffs, the game wouldn't be played 

until December, which is far too late. I asked Coach Fciling his opinion 

on the proposed system and he replied, "It's a very good idea. 

"As has happened many times before, the round robin champ lost in 

the playoffs and didn't receive any recognition. This way everybody would 

be satisfied." 

Balboa Beating 

After reading many reports on the Balboa game, I think I will have to 

agree with Syd Russell of the Examiner who said -that the game was 

"Lowell's worst performance of the campaign." If our Lowell "Lilli- 

putians" had any desire to win a playoff berth by defeating the Bucs, it 

wasn't seen out on the court. We didn't see any of the razzle-dazzle that 

has typified Benny Neff's pasl squads. We didn't sec any hustle. We didn't 

see any pin-point passes or well practiced plays. Could it have been that 

the beys were too cocky after their surprisingly easy win over Mission? 

I just hope that next basketball season the boys on the squad think more 

of the team's winning, rather than winning themselves glory. 

Preview of Next Year's Hoopstcrs 

While on the subject of basketball, we would like to give you an early 

preview of next year's game. Carrying xhc main load of the team will 

be Dennis Hess. I, ennis received valuable experience this last term play- 

ing in a forward spot, and if he overcomes his over-confidence, he will be 

a strong contender for all-city honors. Helping the team for half of the 

season will be Ai Artoux, a mid-term graduate. Al came into his own last 

term when he filled in for injured Jack Tause in the Mission game. Al 

has been consistent on defense and if he develops some on offense, he will 

be one of the big guns for the Braves. 

Ben Ncff is counting heavily on Lloyd Si mi to come through next 

season. If Lloyn has the desire to play, he could prove to be very valuable 

to the Indians. Also fighting for a starting berth will be Jack Wills, Stan 

Weld and Jim Thompson, who has two full seasons ahead of him. 

! Word Has It That... 

Jim Ellis, who transferred from Lowell to Stagg High In Stockton, 

has made the starting five of an all-junior team. Reports arc he's knocking 

them dead on the boards. . . . Ken Balling and Mel Prescott, two former 

basketball giants, arc playing sound ball for their respective freshman 

teams, Stanford and Santa Clara. . . . Lowell Zellers, former Big 10 mile 

cJramp. HAS been working with the track team at practice and remarked 

that Bill Morgan, Lowell's mile ace, should be under 4:30 in the near 

future. . . . Mike Zcller, once a Freshman at Lowell, has been named to 

the high school All-America swimming team. Although he is a senior at 

Drake, the Lowell swimming team could sure use him.

Indians Fade 

In Finale 

"You can't win if you can't hit, 

and we weren't hitting. This was 

definitely the poorest game we've 

played all year." 

TI113 statement by Ren Ncflf. who 

took the loss m stride, explains why 

Balboa is in the playoffs and Lowell 

is not. The 35-26 trouncing suffered 

by the Tribe rudely brought to a 

close their disappointing season. 

Lowcl! turned in its worst output 

of the year in losing to the Rues. 

Victory would have enabled the In- 

dians to cinch second or third place, 

thus entering the playoffs. 

Zone Dcten.se Hurts 

The Indians, who have had con- 

siderable trouble penetrating zone 

defenses since the loss of Me»rlicry. 

found Balboa's zone especially puzz- 

ling. Ben NefFs five were never in 

the ball game as Bat's height ad- 

vantage showed up like a soreihumb, 

the Bucs out rebounding the Tribe, 

36-19. 

Balboa Sharp 

With devastating quickness in the 

second quarter Thomas, Mixou, and 

company pourrd the ball through 

the mesh with deadly accuracy to 

give the P to 

varsity this year. The 30*s relay team 

finished first in tJieir event. Agah 

only three members will return- 

Kirk Pctrovic, Ctfff Sansot, and Josh 

Epping^r. 

Twenties 

The 20*s Uad more success than 

either the varsity or the 30's. Rick 

Colsky took first place in the frw 

style and .second tn the backsirofcf. 

Pete Samuels copped a third piact 

for Loivcll in the 100-yard frrc style. 

The 20's diving event was won by 

John Marks, while Ed Shaskan look 

thirJ place for the thirties. From b« 

year's third and fourth place relay 

tp&ms. Brad Nicol, John Marks, Pc ! < 

Samuels, Frank Sansot. Ron "N'icoL 

and Mark Morris will return.

THE 

FRIENDLY 

ATMOSPHERE'•.*» 

By CAROL HEANEY 

Priscilla Watson called a brief 

meeting of all the managers Wed- 

nesday, February 13f at fifth period. 

The purpose of the meeting was for 

the managers to explain their sport 

to the new girls in fifth period gym. 

As wide-eyed freshman and soph- 

omore girls listened, the 

wonders of GAA were 

explained to them. 

Swimming 

Swimming started 

Monday, February 18. 

The girls swim at the 

YAVCA on Suttcr Street. 

It costs them the small 

amount of $4.50 and for 

[hat price they get 12 swims. Their 

iesson consists of 15 minutes of free 

swim. 30 minutes of instruction, and 

15 more minutes of free swim. Sev- 

enty girls ace out for after school 

swimming and forty girls for seventh 

period swimming. 

Riding 

The riders had their first ride 

Tuesday, February 19. at Mar Vista 

Stables on Skyline Roulevard. It 

costs $2\) and they get 10 rides. Each 

ride consists of a one-hour lesson. 

The girls ride on Tuesday's sev- 

enth period and after school and 

Thursdays after school. In the fall 

term they had a Lowell Horse Show 

so this term they wiil most likely 

have a picnic ride. They also might 

participate in an interscholastic horse 

show. 

Zee Skating 

Ice skating is a favorite sport at 

Lowell. All you need to have a good 

time is a pair of skates and a pillow. 

The girls skate at the rink on Forty- 

eighth Avenue, and from all reports 

have a wonderful time. Mrs. King- 

bury is the sponsor of ice skating.

IN THE GROOVE 

3QC 

By TOM KELLY 

Even though H:-Ft has become a 

household word within the past 

couple of years, few people under- 

stand what it actually is. They think 

it is too deep and complex to figure 

out. Truthfully, Hi-Fi is very easy to 

understand. 

Lester H. Bogcn, the noted au- 

thority on Hi-Fi, defines it as simply, 

"the reproduction of speech or music 

with as much realism and faithful- 

ness to the original performance as 

is technically possible." 

How Hi the Fi 

Since the human car can hear from 

16 to 15,000 cycles per second, we 

must produce all these cycles in our 

home to faithfully reproduce the ac- 

tual performance. 

The rcasor. the concert you hear 

on your radio or your phonograph 

doesn't sound as dynamic as when 

you hear it in person is that you are 

only hearing 125 to 5.00C cycles per 

second of all the cycles actually 

being produced. You are only hear- 

ing part of the music.

Buying Real Hi-Fi 

All the records manufactured by 

tiic leading recording companies 

have been recorded with the full 

range of human hearing since 1953. 

If they arc played on a regular 

phonograph only a small amount of 

all the music in the grooves is made 

audible. 

Webcor, Columbia, RCA and other 

companies have built some ready- j 

made Hi-Fi sets that arc now on 

the market. 

In buying Hi-Fi make sure it has 

the following features: (1) a record 

changer without "wow" (uneven 

speed), i2) an amplifier that pro- 

duces five watts and 16-15,000 C.P.S., 

($) two speakers; a tweeter (for 

high notes) and a woofer (for 

low notes), (4) a sapphire stylus 

(needle).

I5y listening to your records on Hi- 

Fi equipment you will be getting 

more music and more enjoyment 

from them.

OSH-ING 

By EPP1NGER 

Recently the city high school football coaches recommended that a 

separate champion be crowned in the round robin **nd in the playoffs. This 

system would replace the present day f cot ball s>v in where a team can 

go through the round robin schedule with nary a hand laid upon then, 

and then be upended by a fired up fourth place team in the playoffs. Why 

shouldn't this team which went through the schedule untouched, receive 

some recognition? This new system seems to answer that problem. 

Another issue that came into the picture was conducting the football 

playoffs :n the same manner as the basketball playoffs. This is done on 

the basis of giving the round robin champ one point and if the champ is 

•beaten in the playoffs, there is an extra game to decide the city champ. 

The reason this system can't be put into effect is that the football schedule 

i« made out so that the championship game is on Thanksgiving day and if 

the round robin champ did lose in the playoffs, the game wouldn't be played 

until December, which is far too late. I asked Coach Fciling his opinion 

on the proposed system and he replied, "It's a very good idea. 

"As has happened many times, before, the round robin champ lost in 

the playoffs and didn't receive any recognition. This way everybody would 

be satisfied/* 

Balboa Beating 

After reading many reports on the Balboa game, I think I wilt have to 

agree with Syd Russell of the Examiner who said -that the game was 

"Lowell's worst performance of the campaign." If our Lowell "Lilli- 

putians" had any desire to win a playoff berth by defeating the Bucs, it 

wasn't seen out on the court. We didn't sec any of the razzle-dazzle that 

has typified Benny Xcffs past squads. We didn't see any hustle. We didn't 

see any pin-point pusses or well practiced plays. Could it have been that 

the boys were too cocky after their surprisingly easy win over Mission? 

I just hope that next basketball season the boys on the squad think more 

of the team's winning, rather than winning themselves glory. 

Preview of Next Year's Hocpstcrs 

While on the subject of basketball, we would like to give you an early 

preview of next years game. Carrying the main load of the team will 

be Dennis Hess. Dennis received valuable experience this last term play- 

ing in a forward spot, and if he overcomes his ovcr-oonfidence, he will be 

a strong contender for all-city honors. Helping the team for half of the 

reason will be Al Artoux, a mid-term graduate. Al came into his own last 

term when he filled m for injured Jack Tause in the Mission game. Al 

has been consistent on defense and if he develops some on offense, he will 

be one of the big guns for the Braves. 

Ben Neff is counting heavily on Lloyd Simi to come through next 

season. If Lloyn has the desire to play, he could prove to be very valuable 

to the Indians. Also fighting for a starting berth will be Jack Wills, Stan 

Weld am! Jim Thompson, whrltas two full seasons ahead of him. 

Word Has It That... 

Jim Ellis, who transferred from Lowell to Stags: High in Stockton, 

has made the starting five of an all-junior team. Reports are he's knocking 

them dead on the boards. . .. Ken Bailing and Mel Prescott, two former 

basketball giants, are playing sound ball for their respective freshman 

'teams, Stanford and Santa para. . . . Lowell Zellers, former Big 10 mile

cost of repairing current models. New parts arc readily obtainable.

The Lowell band played its first 

springy concert on March 26. The 

concert began at 8 p.m.. and, dneto 

enthusiastic audionrc reception, last- 

ed until 3 a.m., March 27, when the 

trumpet section collapsed. 

The band performed several mod- 

ern numbers, among them Sleepin- 

sky's "Mdanic lUd A Sinajl. Wooly 

Mammal,** subtitled "Sleepwalkers 

Serenade,** which featured a solo for 

Alpine horn, and a trio for tuba, pic-

Also on the program were such 

old factories or "Requiem for a

Finally, the long-awaited moment has arrived! The record companies 

have taken us into their confidence and made us vow only to mention 

their new releases in this column. Hang on to your hats! 

Sure Fire Hits 

Madame Tebaldi and Ezio Pinza, those swinging Rock V Roll 

favorites, have a new record out that should surpass all their other million" 

dollar sellers. It is called "Love Is Strange"—a real jazzy addition to your 

record library. 

Back Again * > ,' 

Sophie Tucker is in *he popular record field again with her taxing of 

"Carry me Back To Slenderella," and June Allyson enters t*.e field with 

her version of "Open The Door, Richard." 

Nervous Norvis. the real casual s ; nger, not ouly plays !tis latest record 

but also wrote it. The title is "The Miltown Concerto." 

Hi Skinny 

The evcr-i>opr.lar Frank Sinatra has just recorded "Hand Me Some 

Of Those Bon-Rons; I Can't Even See My Own Shadow." A hush-hush 

rumor going around town is that this new release was written by "Fats" 

Domino. 

She's The Greatest 

It seems year after year no one can handle a song quite like the 

Inimitable Marilyn Monroe. Her latest Bozo record series for children 

p-oved immensely popular. The album she just finished is for adults. We 

think the songs ar~ a little saucy compared to her usual homespun manner. 

The title is "Marilyn Sings Grand Old Irish Folk Songs." On the 

cover she is shown wearing a peasant dress and churning butter. 

Someone Called Elvis 

This column trys t-vbejair so we like to mention some album put out 

by an unknown artist. A new album, sung by some fellow called Elvis 

Presley, has come to our attention. 

It is called, "Elvis Sings Excerpts From Pagliacci." He is accompanied 

by Ivory "Joe" Hunter at the-harpischord and "Little" Richard conducting 

the Boston Symphony Orchestra. 

The album is very good out I'm afraid only a chosen few will under- 

stand Presley's delicutc styh;. 

Now Buy Them 

So there they are. Now all you* have to do is rush out to your favorite 

record shop and beg, borrow oi ;;tcal any of these terrific records.

Dear Editor: 

I have read Carl Ber.-y'* letter, 

and feel thai i must answer it. First 

he objected to the "Mission type" 

heading on one article in l!ic paper. 

Well, it happen* that the Mission 

"West Wins" is one oi the best prep 

papers in the stale, if not the nation. 

Also if we did have a "Mission type" 

paper. w« might not have the rcputatio'.i 

that we do have. 

i thought that t!ic column was 

i;rrat as it was and hope that it continues 

as it nis. I also think that the 

j'apcr lias ônt: down in quality the 

last few years. 

DAX XOl-AN 

Dear Dan: 

Your letter is a result of quite a 

big controversy concerning the matter 

of "High Society." Actually there 

seems to be a misconception among 

many students about the whole isissue, 

and this whole thing is not 

half as drastic as it appears to be. 

"High Society" or "Howdy Rowdies," 

however you may prefer to 

call it, has not been discontinued. Its 

writer has not been changed nor the 

contents. In fact, "High Society" 

and "Howdy Rowdies" are exactly 

the same; the only change being that 

of the title. 

When the title of the column was 

changed the only reaction we received 

was one of immediate criti. 

ctsm. If more people took time to 

write in what they like along with 

what they don't like, perhaps we 

could gel a truer idea of everyone's 

preference. As it is, we try to go by 

genera! spinicn, and general opinion 

has it that "High Society" should 

stay, even if in "name" only.

How would you feel if-you won a

how Mr. Hraucr, faculty advisor for

What He Won 

Mr. Brauer entered The Chronicle

which entrants were asked to list 

in order, the ten columnists, ten 

comics and ten Sunday sections they 

felt were the most popular. 

He thought it would he fun to

probably wouldn't win because of

After \fr. Braucr was notified that 

he was one of the Grand Prize winners, 

he was overcome. The popular

Issue of Honor Counts 

Now that the time of Student Body Elections ts drawing 

near, the question concerning honor count has arisen. Should 

25 points be the minimum count for eligibility? Many students 

point out that this should not apply to committee members as 

well as it docs for candidates for school officers. So let's try and 

consider the issue from both sides.

Many students feel that there is no direct relation between lias a lwin sister Diane, who reone 

and the other, and therefore the scholastic record need not 

be considered. Very often a student who is not able to maintain 

the minimum honor count has great potential leadership or is 

quite capable of doing the work required of the members of our 

various committees.. And so they ask, "Must we have 25 honor

Jim Simons is another of those tricky 

ones. He runs around iu a black '52 

Merc, with a stock body, orange 

and white upholstery, and one exhaust 

pipe. But flip the hood and 

you'll find a '52 Merc mill with a W 

bore, Potviu super % cam, and Ford 

heads running the compression ratio 

up to S.5 to 1. Right now Jim is 

changing the Mercomatic to stick. 

A black '49 Merc. '51 Merc mill

joined the ranks. It's ported and relieved, 

and there is a truck clutch to 

aid the proceeding. The red left 

fender isn't for that tvo-tone affect, 

he's just too lazy to paint it. The 

car is lowered 3" in the rear and has 

a shaved deck with a solenoid lock.

case you haven't guessed the owner, 

it's Otis Matheny.

Playdays 

Playdays seem to be the thing 

when spring coincs. Many different 

schools are having them. For those 

Printing.. 

who don't know exactly what a playday 

is, I'll try to explain. 

A playday is a day when different 

schools aro invited to one school to 

participate in different sports. It is a 


way to meet a lot of girls and have ?.. 

lot of fun. 

April Showers 

LEXICON PRESS Galileo had an all-city playday on 

April 4. The theme was "April 

500 SANSOME ST. GA 1-6859 Showers." Lowell wa rnvited and 

so wore many other high schools.

Jim Watson; is gunning for his third 

straight All-City title. Jim, who 

started playing tennis five years ago, 

is aUo City Ping Pong Champ. Jim 

lists his greatest thrill when he 

won the Northern California Tennis 

Championships title for the second 

year in a row. Jim alsu won the 

Oregon State arid Pacific Northwest 

Championships last summer. 

Jim has been offered scholarships 

.from many colleges, the most notable

of ihe Lowell aqu.i team. Last yea: 

' Ralph climaxed a fine season by 

copping the All-City 100-yard free-

JIM CARANICA < 

Jim, the other half of the Cara- 

nicas, was second string All-City 

basketball this year and paced the 

team in the scoring department. 

Last spring Jim placed third in the 

130*s All-City shot. He also holds 

the school record in that event. 

Jim's greatest thrill was scoring 

the final four points in leading the 

Lowell 130's to a victory over Wash- 

ington in the 1955 champions-hip 

basketball t : it. Upon graduation he 

plans to Migrate to S.F. State or 

rumor ha; it that a scholarship to 

COP majfbc in the offing. 

ED JACXSON 

Though never playing on a varsity 

team, Jackson has proved himself an 

outstanding lightweight. Ed paced 

the 130 basketball team as *he lead- 

ing scorer on this year's train. Last 

year Ed won the 12l)'s shotpuv with a 

heave of 47.9. He also : ôlds the 

school shotput record. Another sport 

that Ed is tops in is ice skating 

where he is one of the best for his 

age on the Coast. Making All-City 

on the 110 basketball team was Ed's 

greatest thrill. Ed plans to attend 

either the University of California or 

Stanford.

"We just bought it would be a Wast/* . . 

In a moment of apparent delirium two boys decided to shatter the 

monotony of an otherwise uneventful summer. So, Bill Stamos, bone- 

crushing senior fullback on Lowell's ,football squad, und Bryan Gould. 

cx-Lowcll halfback, pushet! their raft into the treacherous headwaters of 

:hc Sacramento River and embarked on a dramatic adventure equaled 

only in myth. 

Consisting 1 of a balsa navy lifeboat basis and airplane "belly tanks" outrigged 

for buoyancy, the craft set into the perilous waters at Butte City 

and drifted in 100 degree heat six days. The voyage came to halt at 

\Vhiclcr\s Landing, 1-40 hours and 125 miles from the embarkation .site. 

"We had our share of trouble." related -Bill. "More than once we were 

in danger of losing our craft on rocks and snags. Bry went overboard in the 

quickwatcr twice." . , ^ • 

"If it wasn't for Bill," applauded Brya». "they'd be puUing me out of the 

river with a hook." - 

"I^rjess the most trouble we had was*irpm those mammoth mpsquitos," 

groaned Bryan, who suffered ivshort case nf malaria following the voyage. 

"They torîii apart. The food AWIS miserable. We ate cold out of cans 

except for tliat^fulligan stew Bry prepared the last night oiit," said Bill— 

a hint of nausea crossing his handsome features. ^ 

Do,it again? "Sure/* echoed the two. "We may try the Columbia/ 

River next," Bryan surmised. "Then eventually the Mississippi, of course.'-'

Ski Club for Snowmen 

"The recently organized Ski Club 

is bound tc be a great success," says 

Jeff Mishkiml. Since JefT was the organizer 

of the club, it was a unanimous 

decision that he become president. 

Sue Port is vice president, Valerie 

Goldman is secretary, and the treasurer 

is Mike Kavanaogh. The two 

sponsors who arc just as thrilled and 

enthusiastic about the club as everyone 

else ,are Mrs. Kingsbury and 

Mr. Patterson. They supervise the 

whole club to make sure everything 

runs smoothly, and will probably try 

their hand at a little skiing. 

75 Members 

At present, there are approximately 

75 members, 25 of whom arc on 

the waiting and alternate list. Starting 

in December, there will be several 

trips a month to Sugar Bowl 

and various other places. The price

The Lowell Story 1 

Survey on High School Drinking 

Dr. Christopher Sower, a sociologist from Michigan State University, 

reported that nine out of ten high school students are acquainted with 

alcohol well enough to "taste" it occasionally. 

Dr. Sower based his repot t on a three-year study of social relationships 

in teen-age drinking, which was conducted by the North American 

Association of Alcoholism Programs in six Michigan high schools. 

One-third of the students interviewed said that they Je_drink with a 

degree of regularity, though not necessarily habitually or excessively. 

Dr. Sower said that the drinking, on a whole, was confined to beer and 

wine, and that there was very little "heavy drinking." He added that only 

13 per cent of the bevrt and 2 per cent of the girls interviewed drank more 

than six bottles of beer a week. Also, about half of the students reported 

that they drank with their parents, but called this "tasting" rather than 

drinking. 

The survey also showed that much unauthorized student drinking was 

done in youth groups where there was no adult supervision. The students 

who drank frequently were those from extreme upper or lower class families, 

and usually from a family from which one parent was absent. 

Many teen-agers stated frankly that they resent being considered adult

'The Lowell 1 Asks: 

If You Were on the Executive Board What Improvements Would You Make in School? 

As an individual acting nn the Ex-* 

cctitivc Board I would firstly in- 

vestigate al 1 possibilities regarding a 

belter student gov- 

ernment setup in 

Lowell. The rela- 

tionship between 

the Stunent Coun- 

cif, the Executive 

Board and the 

principal, at pres- 

ent, needs improve- 

ment. 

Secondly, the 

situation of the 

school's cleanliness, as it affects 

Lowell students, should he made 

clear and any practical methods of 

improvement should be acted upon 

by the board. 

Lastly, if the board couM do any- 

thing in 'lie fieui oi better student 

body rallies and thereby lift a por- 

tion of Lowell's "spirit." I feel they 

should. 

Kent Jakobsen 

High Senior 

President 

If t were a member of the Execu--* 

the Hoard I would like to *ec to rt 

that Lowell improved its rallies. The 

t | | |I_. main purpose for 

having rallies is to 

stimulate* the spi- 

rit of the student 

body prior to a 

game or activity. 

It seems as though 

•this purpose has 

not been carried 

out 

My suggestions 

as to improve* 

Rtse Sanchez 

High Senior 

Veep 

Duke Williams 

ments are that we should hare more 

entertainment, student or otherwise, 

in addition to peppy cheers. The 

sonp girls should perform more of- 

ten. The organization of the rallies 

by the Rally Committee should be 

more cartf j!. and the discipline by 

the Scroll should be more definite. 

Financing student government and* 

student activities is a ban! job. The 

student body is still in dcbl for the 

Centennial Year- 

book, .bit* it serves 

no -.purpose ,;to 

blame any person 

for the deficit. Ev- 

idently, since we 

do not have extra 

money, .we ought 

not to incur iicw 

debts. If I were a 

member of the Ex- 

ecutive Board, I 

would like *o see that education 

comes first. 

We, as Lowell students, must un- 

derstand that our school, Lowell 

High, has established a reputation 

as being one of the best college prc-1 

paratory schools in the West and 

that the râin purpose of attending 

school is to prepare ourselves for 

future life. 

Entertainer 

If I were a member of the Execu- clean up the school grounds 

which, as it stands, are a disgrace to 

our school. 

In an effort to improve our school,- 

I would propose that a stronger cen- 

tralized student government be cre- 

ated. Doing away 

with the Studeni 

Council and add- 

ing new menvbers 

to the Executive 

Hoard would be an 

attempt to abolish 

much of tiie du- 

plication of effort. 

Additions to the 

Executive Board 

should include the 

Dan Barter 

High Senior 

Football Player 

I would propose one thing if J 

were on the Executive Board and 

that would be to change the term of 

office of the song 

leaders. In the 

past, the term'of 

office has been di- 

vided into spring 

and fall terms. 

This system is 

quite unsatisfacto- 

ry because basket-

dents. If this change is to be made.! The best solution to this problem 

it would b;*ing about a better under- 

standing between the Executive 

Buard, administration, and the gen- 

eral student body, avoiding many 

discontentments. 

would be to elect a song group for 

football season and anothrr group 

for basketball season. This would 

give an equal amount of games to 

{each group.

By ED TORRES 

Lowell is undoubtedly the hardluck 

football turn of the league. 

They suffered an 18-14 loss to S.I. 

or. a blocked kick that was recovered 

in thc end zone. A six to zero game 

against S.H. wvs almost pulled out 

of the fire but an inability to keep a 

sustained drive ruined Redskin 

hopes. The 7-7 tie with Lincoln just 

missed being a victory tor Lowell 

and the 25-20 debacle with Balboa 

showed thc Indians to be clearly superior 

in the second half.

Today Lowell takes on their final opponent, the Bears from 

Mission. This could be no easy task. With a devastating ground 

game and a sound passing attack. Mission has one of the finest 

offenses in the city. Their defense, however, could stand a little 

improvement. Watch for Vance Strange, Jack Wills, Bill Sta-

Flash! Secret agents have uncovered

of the 1958 Lowell Yearbook. 

Complete details are not

The new Red and While will lack

Great Fun 

T Clubs for Teens 

Popular With Girls 

Are you depressed, bothered and 

bewildered? Have you lost interest 

in school, especially studies, and dislike 

people, especially teachers? 

Have you that lonely feeling, that 

feeling of nobody caring. Well, why 

not start your M Y" Teen Club now. 

Who Can Join? 

These clubs are for all junior and 

senior high school girts alike, and 

they can be quickly organized by 

a special request from any group. 

Coed clubs 5 Why, of course They 

can al. c o be organized and the membership 

of these clubs is open to all 

within the age group. 

Inside Facts 

"Y" clubs meet at YMCA centers, 

at school, or in homes of members. 

(No girls, you can't meet at the 

YMCA.) Each club establishes its 

own duos, elects own officers, an»l 

meets with a person, \vh« laving arrived 

at maturity, is designated to 

advise; to put: it simpiy, an adult 

advisor. 

All members of thes? clulis become 

teenage members of the VWCA, or 

the YM CA at 75 cents per year. 

Club Activities 

AH these Y-t«n clubs are able to 

plan their own programs such as 

spelts, dances, speakers, trir•-, slumber 

parties, and very worth while 

service projects. (Like "Be Kind to 

Sputnik Week/' or something like 

that.) Just think how that would 

imprce world relations. 

Y-teens may also plan conferences 

at Asilomar and at Camp Timbertall 

in the Mendocino Woodlands, which 

many teens though; was great fun 

last year. 

So if you hate thc world and want 

that feeling of belonging, why not 

join or star: your own Y-tcen club 

today. Be onr of the gang!

Lowell's Forensic Soctetj' has sent

Happiness 

Once Again Lowell 

Opens Hearts To 

Give To Children 

On December 4, the annual 

Christmas Gift Drive was 

launched with '-• e election of 

Mr. and Mrs. Claus from each 

class. Chosen to represent the 

seniors were Bill Stamos and Robbie 

Amsler, the juniors— Rich 

Shemano and Noel Tracy, the 

sophomores — Howie Sundberg 

and Sherry Rusk and representing 

the freshmen are Dennis Parvquini 

and Susan Baer. 

Purpose of Drive 

The purpose ui lhe annual Christmas 

Gift Drive is to provide gifts 

for needy and mentally retarded 

cnilrlren. Without these gifts these 

children would spend an otherwise 

dull Christmas. The presents from 

the four classes go to the St. Francis 

Day Home, the Sunshine School, the 

LauRley Porter Clinic and thc Sonmna 

Stat» Home. 

Class Competition 

To spark thc drive and keep it 

go:n£, classes compete against each 

other with a record of their gifts 

presented, kept on the front bulletin 

board. The theme o: this year's 

drive k "Let a Lowell Chrisnik 

Rocket the Way to Happiness for 

Others," To keep the mo'*^-cf this 

drive alive, four sphe". ,.,-tesentinjr 

Sputnik's have been v?a«cd upon 

the board. For every fift> gifts 

brought in by a class, an ornament 

is dropped in the satellite. 

Hearts Are Thrilled 

Spearheading this drive are Dan 

Nolan, president of the Scroll, and 

Sue Ferrigario, president of the 

Shield. These two organizations that 

Dan and Sue head, ar= thc ccntro! 

behind thc drive. At the close of the 

drive, the presents will be handed 

out to the children at the clmics and 

hospitals by the Shield and Scroll, 

along with the Mr. Claus and Mrs. 

Claus. Many 3 heart, is thrilled at 

the sight of these presents. 

Spirit on Deiine? 

AAA Stats Back Up This Belief 

As Gridders Have Worst Year at Gate 

Is Lowell's spirit on the decline? The statistics released by the AAA 

showing the school's ticket sales during the past three years for footbaK 

and basketball seem to support this theory, Another interesting fact is that 

the basketball team drew more followers in 1957 than did the football team. 

Arguments over whether Lowell supports 3 losing team are in clear evidence 

below. This year our football tram started out strong by selling 766 tickets 

to the Poly game, but after this game there was an unhealthy decline with 

the exception of the Washington game. 

1956 GRIDDERS POPULAR 

One might notice that in 1956 thc football team pl?.ycd two less games. 

Yes, two less games, yet still more tfekets were sold. Records show that 

the football team had its worst year at the gate »n 1957, 

BASKETBALL ABOUT SAME 

In basketball there is not much difference in the three years. One might 

see fit to blame the 195£* students, for this was the year Jha boh of Lowell's 

basketball teams fought to 2: place in the finals. Here, then, is a statistical 

answer to whether or not Lowell's spirit is on the decline. What do you 

think?

EDITORS A LS 

Treated Like Nobody 

Why is it that the poor I--9V never seem t. bo too happy 

around the school ? Well. i> lot of upper division students consider 

the young ones worthies.*, or they have the general feeling- of 

revenge: "I was treated like a nobody so you will be. too." L r pper 

classmen, I appeal to you to let these poor kids feel as if they 

belong. After all. you were young once. 

WHAT TO DO 

\\ hat can we do about this, you say? Well, first of all don't 

treat them as if they were animals or some strange things you 

don't want but have to put up with. Make them feel wanted and 

needed. To do this we could have special dances or picnics put 

on by the freshmen and for them only. Or we might have a 

special award for the most promising freshman of the year, 

athletically or scholastically. It would give them a goal to work 

for and a feeling of being on their own. 

MOVE UP 

These new students will some day run our school, and making 

them feel useless will not give them the necessary initiative to 

take the big" steps to become good and qualified leaders of our 

student body. Lowell has always been noted for its scholastic 

record and also for its friendlier students. 

Argument Over Term of Song Girls 

In the past it has been traditional at juowell to elect songleaders 

at the beginning of each new term, along: with the Student 

Body and class officers. If these song-girls are luck enough to oe 

elected in the fall term, not only can they cheer for the entire 

football season but also for five of the eight basketball games. If 

they are elected for the Spring Term, they have the great privilege 

of cheering for the three remaining games of the basketball 

season. 

TWO SOLUTIONS 

There are two possible solutions to this problem. The frst is 

to elect songleaders for the entire school year". By doing this, 

these girls would cheer for both the football and basketball 

seasons, the two Block L. rallies, the two Senior rallies, plus all 

the rallies before games. ',*-'} 

The second solutiont would be to elect songleaders on a seasonal 

basis. By this we mean a set of girls for tfcie football season 

and a new group for the entire basketball season. By doing it 

this way, each group would get their season, a Block I, rally, a 

Senior rally and the rallies before games. It would also give more 

girls an opportunity to become songleaders tliari by electing 1 

them annually. Girls elected for an entire year might tend to c 

grow tired and lack enthusiasm and spirt after a season. If new 

girls, fresh and fiill of spirit, were to be elccte** scasonally^this 

would not only give variety, but would pep up lagging spirit 

Potato Sack Effect 

Da Bloomer Girls Are Stiff Here 

Just Ye Glance in Girls' Yard 

Today marks the 107th anniversary of an original article in 

another newspaper when Amelia Jenks Bloomer, editor of the 

"Lily,".wrote her approval of the adoption of trte bloomer. 

Cavorting around the girls gym are the disciples of Bloomer 

in thevr delectable costumes that haven't changed in over 100 

\ears. Lowell as usual is maintaining its tradition und modernization 

is not part of it. 

Think of; the hearts that go pitter-patter as these gorgeous 

creaturesmake with the athletics in The open to view yard. 

It's about time for a change. Although the gfirls are not the 

most beautiful girls in the world, the costumes certainly are an 

asset in hiding the defects of our budding young" lasses. If that is 

their purpose, they have definitely fulfilled it with that potato 

sack effect. 

The Board of Education should give consideration to removing 

the distractions of the bloomer girls to the serious-minded 

Lowell boys hard at their svudies.

Fashions Are The Most" 

By Deanna Epstein 

There's news in fashions from Cnger-tips to toes, and speaking of fingertips, 

the latest thing at Lowel' is short ones. Seems the P.E. department has 

made it compulsory for all girls to cut their nails to a sfciort length. Can't 

scratch each others eyes out anymore, girls! Still in the finger-tip department, 

the newest item in the market are the ten-day nails, to take the place 

of polish. The advertisements say "Just stick them on the file to the shape 

of your own nails. They last 10 days, longer than any nail polish.' 1 

P.J.'S POPULAR 

Slumber parties, being as popular ?s they arc, ;>nt P.J.V in the spotlight.

FOOTWEAR 

To complete the fashion picture we turn to news of footwear. The latest

from San Francisco 

schools were the guests of the Modesto 

Chamber of Commerce and the 

Modesto Kiwanis Clubs. The occasion 

was Farm-City Week—a program 

whereby Modesto 4-H members 

were treated tc a look at the 

big city and students here got a 

taste of life in the country. 

Roswell Roberts, county farm advisor, 

acted as guide. First stop was 

Foster's Farm, Stanislaus County's 

largest creamery, where the milk is 

separated, pasteurized, and bottled— 

all by modern machinery.

Third >m our list \v:if. La Verne 

Kamis, where a few oraw souls tried 

their-hand ai milking, a cow. Most 

-_mel »y*th failure."

Ambitious Artists Needed 

For Bright Book Covers 

After two years or mor« of adorning 

text books with the same covers, 

Lowellites at last are being supplied 

with a chance to change them. But 

despite protests about the long life 

of book covers ai.d the demands for 

new ones, entries to the current book 

cover contest have numbered only 

14 to date. Because of this disappointing 

turnout, the Book Cover 

Committee has upped the closing 

date of the contest from December 

2 until today. 

AH prospective artists-should put 

on their thinking caps and sharpen 

their pencils. Who knows—your design 

may be ».he one to last for »he 

next iwo years. 

All last-minute designs should be 

submitted to Judith Blorkley, rcg, 

109. Designs will be judged by the 

Hook Co v i» r Commit tee. Final 

choices wil! be given to Student 

Council members where the winner 

will be chosen. 

Across the 

Principal's 

Desk*.. 

At this time of year the administration 

is preparing for your Spring 

semester while you and the faculty 

are preparing for the last few weeks 

of your fall term. I wish I could impress 

upon you the importance of 

good marks in high school. It is too 

late to get serious about college entrance 

marks in your senior year. 

You must have B*s cr better every 

year. The Director of Admissions for 

Reed College at Portland, Oregon, 

says that he is convinced that secondary 

school achievement is the 

most important single factor in pre- 

-djcCuie-~- college success. Do your 

'^'best every ijrm so that you can be 

accepted by selecting colleges early.

As I pick up rny morning "Call- 

Examiniclc" (which is edited by 

W. R. Hearst, Jr>., replacement. 

Josua Eppintjer, III) I find myself 

reading abût many of Lo«veli*Hipkh's 

Kail '57 graduates. In the Headline 

section I note that Mike Kavanaugb. 

Mark Christiansen, and John Belmont 

arc running against each other 

for the Governorship of California. 

Trying for Mayor of San Francisco 

are Stephen Horn, IT. Victor Huffman, 

and Bob Isaacs. I really wish 

they all could win. 

Turning the page. I find the Science 

Section. Stan Abinaitti, Dennis 

Brahney, Cyril Brughelli, Peter 

Grande, and Alex Jefimoff have 

taken the first trip to Mars. As I 

remember, way back in 1962. they 

nlito took the fiist trip to the moon.

Nowadays, most of us do our grocery 

shopping on the moon (they have 

the best cheese there). Again I turn 

the page and come to the financial 

part. The usual news, Kahn, Kahn, 

Kaufman, Key, King. Kettcrt, and 

KrasheninikofT had their "Meeting

Fascination Revealed 

As Midnight Strikes 

"It was fascination, I know." Tomorrow 

night at 12 midnight, some 

50 high seniors and their dates will 

have known what fascination is. For 

the theme of this term's Senior Prom 

is "Fascination." and fascinating this 

Prom will be. The seniors will be 

decked out in tuxedos and formal 

dresses. The Italian Room of the St. 

Francis Hotel is the spot where the 

glamorous couples will whirl and 

twirl until midnight.

Scientists See Small A-Bomb 

A-CLOUD MAKER—Ernest C. Spafford, visiting teacher from 

Stockton, prepares to demonstrate to students at Lowell High 

the wonders cf nuclear science. The result: a small mushroom 

cloud, simulating the trademark of A-bomb test. 

Ever see a miniature atomic bomb explode in class? The science stu- 

dents of Lowell High School did. The demonstration was put on by Mr. 

Ernet C. Spafford of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. Mr. Spaf- 

ford was given a one-year Ie^ve of absenct to tour the country and give- 

lecture!; about the structure of the atom ar.d math investigation to students 

in the upper division math classes. 

Lowell was the only high school in San Francisco fortunate enough to 

have an opportunity to sec and hear Mr. Spafford. He was at Lowell for 

three days and during that time spoke to roost of the science classes. 

Model A-Bomb 

Originally, Dr. Spafford was a science teacher at Stagg High School in 

Stockton. He spent last summer Rt Oak Ridge gathering background in^ 

formation for his role as visiting teacher. Mr. Spafford made his miniature 

cf the A-borub from sulphur and zinc mixed in a bottle combined with hy- 

drogen and Oxygen. On January 16, the Science Club received Mr. Spafford 

and heard a lecture on the International Geophysics Year and Space Travel. 

Other Lectures 

On January 14, SpafFord appeared on telivision and talked about the 

structure of the Atom. He also had a diagram of one of the first ways used 

•to split Uranium 235 from Uranium 238. The math and science teachers of

Ski Club Rises Early 

For a Day of Skiing 

At four o'clock in the morning of 

December 30, 23 sleepy-eyed skiers 

dragged themselves to the front 

stairs of Lov/dl High School to catch 

the Greyhound bus which was Sierra 

bound. Escorting: the Ski Club were 

Mr, Pattercon and Mrs. Kingsbury, 

Breakfast Break 

The bus stopped in Oakdale for 

breakfast. Following breakfast, the 

bus took off for Dodge Ridge and 

the snow. Upon their arrival at 

Dodge Rtdgc, the skiers were 

greeted with a scene of snow, sun, 

and slick slopes. Due to the fact 

that it hadn't snowed in more than 

a week, the slopes were quite fast 

and hard. 

No Casualties 

No casualties were incurred, save 

for many bumps and bruises. At 4:30 

Mr. .Patterson and Mrs. Kingsbury 

herded the 22 snow bunnies back 

into the bus for the long trip home. 

"The Ski Club's first outing was 

quite a sucress and just the first of 

many successful trips, says Preidem 

Jef; Mishkind.

Facing a strong Bal team with one of the greenest outfits in

Lowell Cagers 

Lowell varsity basketball team 

lest a heartbreaker to Galileo, 34-31, 

Monday, January 20, at Kezar Pa- 

vilion. The deciding points were two 

freeJ-. ws made with seven seconds 

left in the game by Wilmer Davis, 

who sparked the Lion's attack in the 

second hslf by scoring 11 points. 

_} Zone Stops Hess 

Dcitni.« Hess kept t owcll in the 

game in the first half by making 10 

out of the 13 points Lowell scored. 

Hess, unfortunately for Lowell. 

couldn*t continue to hit against 

Galileo when they switched into a 

zone defense in the second half. 

Galileo lead all the way after taking 

a 5-4 lead in the first quarter. 

The Indian cagers managed to keep 

in contention by staying three points 

behind Galileo through ibe first three 

.quarters. The Lions scored two field 

goals in the beginning of tlic fourth 

r quarter to take their largest lead in 

the name. 26-19. 

Almost 

Facing; a .êven-point deficit, the 

hustling Lowell cagers narrowed the 

gnp time and again, onlv to have 

Galileo keen the lcn«| }»y sinking 

crucial free throws during: the fourth 

quarter. LoweU outscored Galileo 

from the field 15 to 13, but the Lions 

scored eight free throws to Lowell's 

one. 

Lowell Rally Fails 

Lowell almost won the game in 

the last minute of the game by cutting 

the score to 31-32. Jim Thompson 

and Fred Dagnino hit 20-foot 

set shots to make the score 31127 

with a minute and a half to go in the 

game. After Glen Wilson made a 

charity, Pat Gibbons made a set shot 

and a jump shot in succession. 

Galilee's Davis put the game on ice 

then by sinking two Tree throws 

ending the scoring with Galileo winning

Impressive Record 

When Jim was a sophomore he was iimnertip in the Triple A tcnni

Northern alifomin. As a junior and senior he won the Triple A, not to mei 

ti..n 17 other tournair cms he has won since be launched his tennis career 

the age of 13. 

Currently Jim is third in the nation in junior doubles along wtih Chri 

Chawford of Piedmont High. In junior singles he runks 28th nationally

February 22 Honors 

James Russell Lowell 

February 22, as every studciH who 

passed: the third grade, knows.is the 

birthday ;of George .Washington, 

American hero, who rewards our re- 

membrance of him/i>y giving us a 

holiday from schori every year. But 

February .22 is also the birthday of 

Another famous personage, whose 

image once graced the pedestal just 

-inside the main entrance—none Other 

than James Russell Lowell, the man 

for whom our School is named. 

Lowell was a man of letters—a 

poet, essayist" and philosopher of the 

middle nineteenth century who made, 

his mark during the growth of the 

first .vreat American literary move- 

ment. From thfe movement evolved 

the attempt by Americans to create 

their own nationalistic style ot* writ- 

ing, independent of European in- 

fluence. 

James Russell or Amy? 

The question was once raised in 

one of this, reporter's English classes 

which stated, in effect, that perhaps 

the intent of the original dedicators 

was to honor not James Russell 

Lowell but Amy Lowell,'{an early 

twentieth century American poet 

and exponent of free verse. In this 

reporter's opinion the only feature. 

Amy's favor was that she was 

crs. relieving the pain of those in 

reaching, the Lowell Junior Tied 

Cross docs its job, also. 

Making Favors 

In commemoration of Washing- 

ton's and Lincoln's birthdays the 

members made favors for the mili- 

tary hospitals. The hospital children 

of San Francisco received Valentine 

favors made under ihe supervision 

ot Mrs. CatcJIi. 

A last word; To accomplish these 

many jobs, as, unfortunately, to ac- 

complish almost anything, money is 

the prime factor. Money iêans the 

Red Cross Membership Drivr ,'oinl 

dire financial need consthu/-s the 

functions of the American Red 

cross. 

Tim Dunn is the designer of the 

cartoon on this page which won the 

Lowell Cartoon Contest. Tim, the 

only junior on the Scroll this term, 

is a science and math major. He 

plans to go into commercial art aff-r 

college and high school. He loves 

sports and is mainly interested in 

track. 

We of The Lowell would also like 

to thank J. Con Ion, Mickey Garcia, 

John Gras«of -Howard Gregg, Eu- 

gene PeHigrmc, and Carolyn Vuka- 

s^n for their contributions to the 

contest.

Letters 

to the 

Editor 

Every time the question of the 

Shield £nd Scroll arises no one 

seems to come up with an adequate 

answer, as far as I'm concerned. 

How are members selected for these 

groups? The requisite is supposedly 

a good scholastic average and a rec- 

ord of service to the schooI.This, 

hoivevcr; is quite comical as there are 

many '.more students "who qualify 

under this broad statement but do 

riot belong. 

- Thir Shield and Scroll represent 

the cream of the students, the J^cal 

pupils, usually to the facility-d "^ 

To the other 1,800 of us these groups 

represent "the kids with personali- 

ties the teachers and administrators 

like/' Why should ihcre be groups 

of students breathlessly waiting 

every term to hear if them* names 

will be called? If they've earned it, 

there should -be no question in their 

minds or in the mind of the selecting 

committee of teachers. " ,-. 

In my opinion the Shield and 

Scroll should be placed on a point 

system. This way no favoritism 

could be shown toward students who 

Avork in certain offices or hold class 

offices. Unless the administration 

comes up with a new method of 

selection, whv not junk the whole 

setup? " CURIOUS

farming. Any male student who has 

completed a notable agricultural 

project, such as raising a prize hull 

or sheep, is eligible to receive a

IN THE SPOTLIGHT 

There is only one logical athlete to stand in the Spotlight for this issue. 

He is none other than Don Takakura, star guard and scorer on the X33*s. 

"Tak" has taken high scoring honors for the "Vil Injunc** in three of the 

last four games. Against Washington he hit 23 points, his highest point out- 

put of the season. Against Poly, he dunked 19, against Mirsion, 6, and 

against SI, ID. That's 67 points in four games. 

Pretty good, huh? 

A iiigh * junior, "Tak" figures 

prominent*/ in Varsity Coach Neff's 

plans for a play-ofi team next season.

haven't bcon wondcrHc? that's hap- 

pened to •he same J-jêll ISO's who 

were predicted, before the scasou 

began, to struggle with Washington 

and Poly for tiie championship. 

Well, we wondered so much we 

asked Thirties'Coach Anino about it. 

"The boys are suffering now from the same thing ^rrKsyff 

the practice season: they haven't teamed to play togethtrâs t>' 

Coach Anino continued, "Iff much harder to get a group \ 

a team when you have so mans really good kids on the team. 

to be a strr. . " ''\-' ,-- _„ 

"It's easier when yon have guys who rtre not stars, but will phy as jJeamS' L; 

This is just about the way we see it, too. Everyone kneys tlic ^laleri^ 

is there, and if they could leatn niore team-play, the thirties would-be J>rrtty 

near unbeatable. They can't seem to do it, though.- • • '- . ,

Indian Swimmers 

Start Season 

The-Lowell swim meets will start 

March 4 against Pctaluma. 

Bill FeiHng. coach of the swim- 

ming team, seemed to think thai 

Lowell's best bid for swimming 

championship honors would be the 

120's and I30's. This is because the 

varsity is mostly n*tw, 'V: 

Two of the experienced point 

men who returned to the varsity this 

season are Al Haney, who will do 

free "style, and Bob Urrea, who will 

compete in the backstroke. Steve 

Swig wi!l also compete in the free 

style. 

Kirk Fctrovick, John Marks, Dav«

WE, TOO, ARE SPORTS 

Hey! Wait a minute guys—listen 

to usl You "men** of this school, 

sometimes just a little preoccupied 

with the major sports, completely 

overlook one of the most important 

sports activities at Lowell. It's the 

sport o* us "little guys," It's the 

GAA. 

The GAA is ;i unified b*'&ar.iza- 

tion. Because it is unified, however, 

does not mean that we are 9\\ inter- 

ested in the same sport, or that we 

don't have a l«rge variety of sports. 

Bowiiup, one of the largest aports 

of the GAA, is hold at Lincoln Bcwl, 

•while swimming at Ro^-i, horsefaick 

riding at Mar Vista Stables, and 

tennis at llrh and Lake include the 

other out-of-school sports, jirrt vrtC 

of the many advantages of these 

sports h the reduced rates on Jn-, 

structiort which is provided. 

GAA Sponsors Sports at I-owell 

The \ zn^^tinprs cf GA-V sports, 

which are s?>enth period or aftsr 

schoo?, *;lon f t always t^lctt us to far- 

away places. We !»ave many fine 

sport* right here £i the building. 

C of these is the modern dance 

?rouj/ which meets in the audito- 

rium. Also anyone interested in im- 

proving her techniques in volleyball 

and softball receives the opportunity 

tolJo so when these sports meet in

Many Veteran Starters 

Baseball practice started later 

tli is season than Coach Drysdale has 

ever experienced. Although rain has 

kept them off the field for two weeks 

the team is full of spirit and views 

the '58 season optimistically. 

Many Returc 

Most of the starters will be vet- 

erans. Among the youngest of these 

are the Rubin twins. Steve is ex- 

pected to stay at short while Stan 

covers 2nd base. It looks as though 

they'll have these positions as long 

as they're hcrt. Another young blood 

is sophomore Pete Sutti. 

Getting Ready for '59 

Juniors returning will also be the 

core of next year's squad. Don Hui- 

naglc w ill share the mound with Jim 

Thomson, while Pat Murphy, Bob 

Lchmann, Tony Gonzalez, and Pan 

Marble wi'l see act'on in the rield/ 

Playing third will be Jeff Iwaluchl. 

Old Pros 

The Seniors who ^vill leave it all 

in June TVHI. probably do the most 

in making It a successful season. 

Among the bigwigs will be 1st base- 

man Paul Epp. Duarte Lopes and Al 

Lacey will be regulars in the field.

EY6-9894 3400 Geary Blvd. 

At half season the Lowell five, 

which was very green at the season's 

beginning, has picked tip of late and 

has won one game for a one and 

five record. 

Ben Kcff, the coach of the Lowell 

unNmitcds, maoe these statements on 

the team's prospects. He has said 

that graduation will net'affect the 

team in the least, sinrc the team won 

one game after graduation. 

The team is not playing quite as 

well as they would with a little more 

expereincc. Members of the team 

with gr«at potential arc Howey 

Sunburif, who is playing very well 

for a new cophomore. and Tony Ivc- 

lich, who turned in a good perform- 

ance in the Mission game. Dennis 

Hess, (he old pro of the team, is 

playinpr much better than expected 

this season. Fred Dagnino, who 

came to varsity from the 120*s this 

year, and his deadly shooting *ye 

arc a valuable asset to the team, Jim 

Thompson will be very good if he 

improves a little. AH in all, Coach 

Ben docs not expect anything great 

from the team, but expects a play- 

off team and maybe championship 

team next yean 

Mr. Anino, the newly appointed 

coach of the Lowelf 130's, th>ks that 

h:s team has a 50-50 chance of mak- 

ing the playoffs. 

The team wa« weakened by the 

graduation of Ed Shaskin. However, 

this loss will not knock the team off 

its feet. 

One of the £ood players left is 

Don Tuckakiira.a hustling ballplayer 

whom Ben Xcff hopes to have on 

his varsity rfquad next year. There 

are slso hopes for John Garber, an 

,accurate shooter who came, up from 

the 110 ( s.~ Eel. Jackson; a;scnior and 

versatile athlete, will spark the team 

on offense and defense. Since the 

league is so tough, the thirties hare 

the identical record of the varsity, 

"one-five. :..' *• • 

It's spring again and it's time for

High Juniors, Low Seniors Eligible 

All contestants must be high ju 

niors or low seniors. The entry fee 

is $1.00, which should be paid to 

Miss Kerncr in the counseling' office 

as soon as possible. Even those stu- 

dents who are not planning to enter 

college should take the test as an aid 

to planning tlic last year of high 

school. Everyone receives his score, 

which is an accurate guide to aca- 

demic strengths and weaknesses. 

Lowell usually has a high per- 

centage of semi-finalists in the con-

r:»Ic as Stephen in "Major Barbara." 

He will again don his directing cap 

foi "Snow White and The Seven 

Dwarfs." 

Natural Theater Man 

According to his director-produ- 

cer Les Abbott, "Dennis :s a natural- 

born theater man." One of his earli- 

est parts was playing in Gingcld's 

Children's Opera. He. at that time, 

wore black tights and hangs, looked 

terrible bin had much talen*. Since 

then he has appeared in numbers of 

light operas, done mure than his 

slv.rc of singing and musical comedy 

acting in large and small groups. 

Said Dennis when asked whether 

he was seeking fame and fortune, "I 

certainly hope to be successful, but 

the fame and fortune aren't really 

half as important us the work itself." 

His primary worry in the beginning 

was that elder people might not re- 

spect his directions, hut he was re- 

lieved to find they were wonderfully 

cooperative.

Principal's Message 

The greatest news of the moment 

is the presentation of the Award of 

Merit today in the auditorium. Be- 

cause of the limited capacity of the 

auditorium only the CSF and the 

upper division honor roll students 

will attend the program. I hope that 

this will become an annual affair so 

that all of-the honor roll students 

will be able to attend several of these 

presentations. 

This Award i of Merit is a certifi- 

cate presented by the University of 

California to the high school which 

sends 40 or more of its graduates to-, 

the university and whose graduates 

earn the highest gradepoirrt average 

in their first semester. 

Our school has always rated high 

in gradepoint average, but some- 

times A tenth of a point meant the 

difference of winning the award and 

not winning it. This makes the third 

time that Lowell has been honored 

with the Award ot Mcrti si:ir? 1951. 

I hope that our honor roll team will 

dedicate itself to see that Lowell re- 

ceives this recognition every vear.

On Success in High School 

By LEE WAKEFIELD 

One's success in high sihool may 

vcrj, well determine his chances for 

a productive and happy future. 

Therefore our research staff has 

compiled a few Hps for those o» you 

who are as yet unaccustomed to the 

methods of achievement in high 

school. We will concern ourselves, 

in the main, to getting along with 

teachers, as tlwy arc the largest det- 

riment one incurs in high school. 

First Impressions Arc Lasting Im- 

pressions. From the moment you cu- 

ter a new class make the teacher no- 

tice you. This can be done by insti- 

gating and being a participant in a 

fight, by refusing to be silt M, and 

by carving your initials on the teach- 

er's desk. Remember, the mediocrity 

of the unobtrusive is never the means 

to recognition. 

The Executive Is Never Subserv- 

ient. You must show your instructor 

who's boss. Refuse *,o sit in your ay- 

signed seat; the one :ip front is- 

much more roomy. Don't accept any 

text books; you can learn more by 

independent research (try Phv/hoy, 

Supunnan, Mad, or any of t!*e ether 

literary monthlies.) Above all. *JyVt 

let your mind he rluttercd by The 

misinformation teachers hand out; 

you are young and yonr incxpei ience 

gives you a fresher approach to any 

subject. Keep in mind that what 

teachers stand for and what is best 

for you arc seldom coincidental. 

Consistency Marks the Poor Stu- 

dent. Always keep your teacher 

guessing. Never attend classes regu- 

larly; your presence will be more re- 

spected if i; is infrequent. Have a 

nom-de-plumc; it will insure your 

papers of receiving an unbiased 

grarir and keop the teacher in a state 

of frustration trying to find out who 

>\>»t are. And don't let your papers

faculty -but-rather by the students. 

There is approximately one-half 

of the student bodv which partici- 

pates m the schnolV activities and 

attends the games and behaves at 

the rallies. The other half just docs 

not seem to care. Why can't we plan 

our activities around tlie ones who 

do participate by letting only the 

ticket holders go to the rallics.There 

would be tcss trouble at the rallies 

\TH\ it would make the school more 

enjoyable for the ones who care. 

Students should be allowed to 

plan more of their activities with 

less help from the tethers. Why 

can't we be treated as adults. When 

any decent attempt to change or in- 

clude a new law is passed by the 

Student Council, it is vetoed by the 

Executive Board without a chance. 

JUST A STUDENT 

By CYNTHIA WHEALEN 

It's quiet, very quiet except for 

one thing: a faint rhythmic throb 

like the beat of tom-toms. Is it just 

a figment of the imagination after 

working hard all day? 

No! ft is tom-toms and they're in 

the auditorium. The advanced sev- 

enth-period class of modern dancers 

concocts fascinating dances daily to 

the steady beat of drums or the pho- 

nograph. The GAA dancing days arc 

Monday, when Lillian Hartori pre- 

sides over the keyboard, and-- Wed- 

nesdays, when Diane Rosen makes 

pretty music at the piano, and this 

takes place in the girls 1 gym. 

Interesting things happen to these 

pirls. For example, on Saturday, 

February 22, 25 of our girls had a 

master lesson with Charles VVclid- 

man, an originator of the American 

modern dance. 

On April 18 anrf 21 the dance 

group will present an original dance 

called "Back Fence." at the Lowell 

Spring Festival in the auditorium. 

On March 27, five girls from mod- 

ern dance classes from each high 

school and college in the Bay Area 

will meet at Lincoln High for an ex- 

change of ideas on dancing. 

Leading the troupe are Miss 

Boehin,sponsor; Paula Bcavm.man- 

agcr; and her assistants, Ingrid Em- 

ilson. Lila Freeman. Judy Logie, 

and Sherry Rusk.

Subjects Related to Students 

Because there existed any num-

Payne's Frame 

By JIM PAYNE 

iN iHE SPOTLIGHT 

Lowell's 45-43 victory over Lincoln in the last fifame of f.he basketbaU 

season cinched a tie for sixth place for the Indians. It is doubtful' whether 

this would have been possible wi hout the cool manner that Fred Dagnino 

displayed in putting in two free throws in the last minute for the 44th and 

45th points. For this feat, Fred stands in the spotlight for this i:.sue. 

Fred is a high senior who won mention on several All-City team selections. 

We know Coach Nefi" hates to lose a player of Dagnino's calibre. 

SHORT NOTES 

The California freshmen will host ihu San Francisco Truck All-Stars 

tomorrow at E 

as of today. 

One Position Open 

You will notice that there is one 

position:open.on the team. This spot 

is hotly sought after by Rich Harrctt, 

Sergio Torres, Rolftt Apylennn. 

and Ave-Cobo, a!! sood quarter 

milcrs. 

It Curtis, Tobriner, Payne, and tlie 

fourth man chosen run the times expected 

of them this year, the Lowell 

ntile relay "team will be dose to the 

national record of 3:19.0. 

"Our mile relay definitely has a 

chance to break the national record, 

and will have several chances ti» do 

$oj* 9 said Coach Wolf. The chances 

he spoke or will come at the Palo 

Alto Relays, El Ccrrito Relays. Martinez 

Relays,' HolHptcr Iu-l.iv« and 

Fiesno Relays. At Fresno, the team 

has to run apainst junior coMcê 

competition and may be :*crccd into 

a good clocking. Unfortunately, the 

rule relay is not n:,i in the San 

I'Vancisco dual track meets.

Team balance—this is t!ie problem 

o.i all three track teams, from varsity 

down to l.?0s. Kach team has its individual 

liars, but is lacking in depth. 

This may hurt com.: Ail-City titm*. 

Curtis Returns 

The varsity is paced by Tim Curtis, 

who will lie running !iis specialty, 

the 440. Running off a 48.7 last year, 

Tim hope-; for possibly a full second 

improvement this campaign. Hi 1 set 

the San Frandsco City record of 

49.1 in the All-City last year, am! 

Io\>ks like a cinch for first place honors 

again this year. 

The sprints arc siriid with Jim 

Payne, who has rur. 10.4 and 23.4 

this year, Hob Cur ley. 10.6 m the 

100, and Pat KcIIehcr, who is beginning 

slowly but should Speed up 

Siion. 

Coach Wolf expects Payne to be 

down to a 10 flat century, and Ctnlcy 

and Keiieher to be close io that also. 

Kellchcr has broad iu.npe;l 20 feet 

this year and leads the broad 

jumpers. 

Tobriner Looks Good 

Workhor.se Mike Toliiuer has a 

2:01.5 880 tc bis credit this year 

and promises M least a three second 

improvement before the season's 

: end. He is definitely All-City material. 

The SSO relay of Cm ley, Tobriner, 

Payne, and Curtis already has a 

good c.irly season time o- 1:33.7. 

Jackson, Belkin Lead 130s 

Ed Jacksoii, who puts the 101b. 

shot 45 feet, and Don Bclkin, an 8.0 

75-yard sprinter last year. 5tan':l out 

for the 130s. John Barnard broke 

Payne's 130 class 330-record with a 

39.1 curly tint''.season and is a >criou.threa*. 

in the AH-City. 

The 130s 440-rclay •cam is made 

up of Barnard, Stan Rubin, Stf.c 

Aub*n, and Belkin. 

Saiki, Nakd Star for 120s 

Ail-City contenders Hideo Saiki 

and Hiroshi Xaka* arc expected to 

he t'ic top point getters for the 120s 

this season, as they we last season. 

Saiki, running the 120-yard low 

•V hurdles, nas a best time of 14 6, 

V>vl«ilc NH-ai has already run a good 

j}B6 in the 150. Both should be lower

CINDERMAN—Tony Curtis, who runs tlie 440. will lead the varsity 

tracksters against tough city competition. 

Track Coach Wolf v.a? one of the happiest members of the Lowell 

faculty when Low-Soph Dave Kyperstein transferred from KOTC into 

cross-country as a M-9. 

Dave was second man on.the Frosh-Soph Cross Country team last fall, 

and Coach Wolf «a>\s, "His running: style reminds me of Ron Larrieu, 

the great milcr formerly oi Palo Alto." 

•\ small hm\ Dave rcÛtercd only 109 exponents 

at the recent lightweight track weigh-ins. Running 

on the 120 exponent team two weeks ago against 

llurlingatnv, he ran the 660 in 1:32.2. This is only 

2/10 ox .i second off ihe Lowell >ceord of 1:32.00— 

and so early in the season, too! : 

In the Lowell-Lincoln Relays last Week, Dave 

ran the half mile for the first time. His time was 

an exceptional 2:16. Remember he's only a 120. 

Dave has run through the Lowell lightweights in 

the 1520, too, with a time of 3:41. 

GREAT POTENTIAL 

"Kupcrsicin xnouu! he running anything from the 440 up through two 

miles by the time Le's a senior." Coach Wolf added. "He also has the 

pi> csial to run the viilc in 4:20 in a couple of years. He's a real comer," 

the coach concluded. . 

Though hi? activities arc not limited to track (he is a member of the 

CSF), expect to see and hear a lot. of David Knperstcin on the Lowell 

cinderpath during the next three seasons. 

Mermen Stack Up 

In Solo Events 

According to Coach Bill Feiling, 

cxir varsity swimming team isn't as 

powerful as last year's second place 

all-city team, but it shows terrific 

individual .strength. The only returning: 

varsity star is Alan Honey, who 

will be joined l»y Arnold Chamovc 

and Bob Urrea, both of whom were 

all-city swimmers of last year's 130's 

squad. 

Our I30's have thtt strongest team 

and show good team possibilities. 

Sparked by last year's all-city members 

Ron Xicol, John Mano Kirk 

Pctrovir, and Dave Urraa, the team 

should bo right up nn the top. 

The 120's. the best balanced of the 

teams will be pushed along by Harry 

CapdevUlc and Frank Johnson. 

Lowell Tee-men Touted 

As Top League Team 

Lowell has always been one of the 

top schools iii golf. The. golf team 

not only shows promise this year but 

also great potential for ne:U year. 

In the last ten year:*, the Indian 

stick men have always finished in the 

:op three. The record of the last ten 

years is three championships, four 

seconds, and three thirds. 

This year's team is \\cll supplied 

with future stars, as w-11 as the top 

six who will play in the matches. 

Rich Shcniauo, Lowell's best bid for 

All-City honors .has a 76 average. 

Gary Silbcrstein, the second man, 

has an average of 78, while 5andy 

Lobe shoots consistent KO's.

Season in Sixth Spot 

Lowell, with the defensive playing of Dennis Sweeney and 

the ball-handling of Dennis Hess, almost stopped Sacred Heart.

LOWELL WELCOMES 

ARCHERY CHAMPION 

Among ihe newcomers arriving 

at Lowell was Tom Rice, a L10 from 

Aptos, and a national archery champion. 

Tom broke all four of the national 

archery records last summer in New 

York, with such scores as the field 

ground-743. hunters yround-781, ami 

the big round groiiml-870. His national 

aggregates score which is 

comprised of all the other scores was 

2393 heating the national record by 

3 points. 

All the targets on the different 

fields ranged from ,thc birdie shot 

which was 1C ft. to the SO ft. walk 

up, the longest shot of all. 

Tom, though planning to enter the 

same contest held in Michigan this 

year in July, will enter the slate 

shoot first, which will he held from 

May 30 to June 1. 

In order for anyone to enter the 

Archery Nationals, he must be a 

member of the National Field Archery 

Association and must he from 

•the age of 12 up to 16. 

Hole in One! 

Bob Friend ,a high freshman, 

and a member of the substitutes 

of the golf squad, did something 

that every golfer dreams of: he 

sank his tee shot on: the eighth 

hole at Lincoln Golf Course. 

What makes this feat more surprising 

is that it was done on the 

temporary "greens.' Boh took a 

three iron from his bag and hit 

tlie ball, which bounced, bounced, 

and then rolled into the cup. 

held Mm to eight points with only 

two fouls. 

Hess Hits 

Lowell was leading a\\half time by 

une point, the score,.' 17-16, but 

slipped in the third quarter. Hess 

tied it up again in the fourth bm 

couldn't get through with the important 

point. Hess was the game's high 

scorer with 16 points. 

^r 

Last Game Thriller 

Being in the AAA cellar has never 

been a Level 1 basketball tradition. 

Thanks to Kred Dagnino's two free 

throws in the last minute of the 

Lincoln game, we aren't sharing it 

with Mission. 

Our scoring leader and ball handler, 

Dennis Hess, had an off day 

and wasn't hitting well. This slowed 

down the whole team which depended 

on Hess' leadership. 

Sharing the honors with Dagnino 

was Jim Thompson, who »vas high 

point man with 15 points. Jim's scoring 

brought us from behind at half 

time, 23-19, to our fourth quarter tic 

of 43-43, which Fred broke just 26 

seconds before the buzzer. 

Last Mistake 

After all this, the Indians made a 

mistake which saved them. Seconds 

before Lincoln made the tying point, 

another Mustang eager was fouled. 

These points didn't count and Lincoln 

missed the free throw. Fjjnal 

score, Lowell 45, Lincoln 43. 

Lowell's mistakes displayed this 

year's club as young and lacking in 

experience., According to Coach

Editor 

To whom it may concern: 

Everything you write about the 

Wigwam is all lies you want to ruin 

it's good reputation. Von never print 

anything good about the Wigwam 

all you do is try to keep :i.s away 

from it so you can get our business 

during lunch. Your brains arc un- 

developed because all vou can re- 

member is the Chickcncoop which 

is no longer there and you say the 

Wigwam is just like the Chicken- 

coop but you are wrong. I know 

you will not print this letter because 

>ou are afraid. And you won't admit 

that the Wigwam is a good place. 

A Friend from the Wigwam 

Dear Friend, 

The article on the Wigwam Ju 

the last issue of The Lowell was 

meant to be a poll of patron? of the 

Wigwam, and we would like to as- 

sure you that it was not Intended as 

a slur on anyone's good reputation. 

In view of what has happened 

since the article was published we 

would like to extend our sincere 

sympathy to the owners of the 

Wigwam. 

Dear Editor, 

I object to this criticizing of our 

school. I think it is the best school 

in the city. Granted there may be a 

few things that arc not cxac^y the 

way we students want them, but it 

never hurts to have a little super- 

vision. Around school there arc so 

many things of interest that if a 

person would just apply himself to 

one of them I'm sure he would en- 

joy himself, and take a pride in our 

school as T do. 

Instead of criticizing our school 

these people should try and do 

something to make it better/They 

can always go to the Student Coun- 

cil'and give their ideas. If they are 

reasonable at all I'm sure that they 

would be passed. We students have 

to realize that the teachers arc only 

trying to prepare us for the outside 

world. So why can't we try to make 

the school better instead of making 

ir worse.

By PAT CALLAHAN 

Every once in a while an empty 

space appears in the pages of The 

Lowell. When this happens, some- 

one gets busy and writes some filler. 

That's what you are now reading. 

Behind us now arc pleasant memo- 

ries of Lowell's Spring Carnival. 

Among the most popular concessions 

were bean-has throwing, balloon 

breaking, and modified ski-ball. The 

accompanying double lunch was wel- 

comed -by students and teachers 

alike.

Many thanks to everyone who sent 

in entries to the Guest Column Con- 

test. Sorry, but someone goofed, and 

acknowledgments weren't printed in 

the last issue. Runners-up were Judy 

Weir, LI1-403; Laurie Tburbell, L10-

Cake Sale Continues 

Despite Heavy Shower 

Amid the downpour of Thursday, 

March 20, tin PTA held its semi- 

annual cake sale. Because of the in- 

clement weather, the cakes were- 

sold outside room 106 instead of in 

the courts, which has been the usual 

procedure. ••' 

The i?hles were lined with cakes 

of all descriptions—ligTit ones, dark 

ones, golden ones, high ones (too 

much yeast), flat ones (not enough 

yeast), lopsided ones (blame it on 

the stove.or the recipe), carefully 

evened out by gobs of sugary frost- 

ing and topped by walnuts or 

cherries. 

Public Schools Week 

Starts This Monday; 

E-B Day Featured 

\ April 21-25 has been designated as 

PuS/ic Schools Week with April 24 

set aside as Education-Business Day. 

During this week in April the 

schools will be open to parents and- 

cirizens of our community. Its pur- 

pose is to demonstrate the import- 

ance of our free public education sys- 

tem in society. ; ~ 

Large Turnout 

In past years Public Schools Week 

has been a tremendously successful 

event. Last year 70,000 people visited 

our schools during that week. In 

this way the opportunity is given to 

build good relationships between the 

people, the students, the faculty, and 

administration. 

E-B Day Planned 

Last year Education-Business Day 

attained the desired effect because 

it was held.;within Public Schools 

Week. On April 4. the schools will 

be host to members of the Chamber 

of Commerce and associates. 

Both of these forthcoming events 

will help inform the people of San 

Francisco for the necessity of tax 

increase for our schools. It should 

create favorable public opinion for 

the June election.

Hail Royal Chess Players of 

Lowell; A Gallant Bunch 

riday. April 18, 1958 

\CAPULCO — ThaeCtbc destina- 

tson of one of Lowell's favorite 

teachers* Mr. Jack Patterson, who 

resigned last week in order to build 

a motel near Acapulco, Mexico. 

Mr. Patterson has been on the 

Lowell faculty for 19 years. He came 

to Lowell in 1939 but spent five years 

in the Marines, and two years work- 

ing in the central office, where he 

wrote six civics books for the city. 

Reactions to Mr. Patterson's Departure 

bett Air. Patterson announced last 

xr * 

All in all he taught here for 11 years 

and, among other things, he was 

faculty advisor for The Lowell. 

Mr. Patterson first went to Mex- 

ico in 1954 and vowed to return and 

build a motel "as soon as I could 

afford it" 

To those of you who haven't 

known Mr. Patterson as a teacher, 

his white Chrysler 300, a standard 

around Lowell, will also be remem- 

bered. 

nnounced last 

week that he was leaving Lowell, 

people — students and faculty — were 

shocked and dismayed. The Lowell 

checked on thtr reactions to bis sud- 

den departure* This is what people 

were saying: 

Julie Tracy: "It's too bad." 

Mike Tobriner: "A great tragedy. 

We'll miss his vibrant personality!? 

Jim Mendiara: "He's a great n.*nn. 

We'll miss his jokes!" 

Lou Cobct: "Real bad." 

Bess Carlotsis: "ItV terrible. No 

more great stories."; 

• Mr. Krytzer: "A loss that we can't 

afford to suffer;" 

Carole, Boehme: "Shoot, wish he'd 

stay till end of 1 term/* 

Mr. Anino; "Shame, a great guy. 

Like to have him around longer." 

Mr. Buckley: "Sorry to sec him 

j?o, he's a \cry fine toacticr. It's a 

great loss. 

Carol Heancy: "IVs a crying 1 

shame!" 

Mr. Perin.o: "Very sorry to sec 

such a top rate teacher leave. Wish 

him a lot of MIccess in his new ven- 

ture in Mexico." 

Suzi Chuck: "Wish him all the 

success he .could'possibly have." 

Pat Kejleher: "First period just 

won't he the same without his sly 

remarks,: the group talks between 

classes, his quick smile. It just won't 

be the same!**

Explanation 

To those of us who don't under- 

stand the highly intellectual game of 

By Betty Juhl 

chess, including me, let me try my 

hand at an explanation. The object 

of the game is to checkmate, that 

is, capture the henpecked king by 

disposing of his protectors. An im- 

portant note: unlike checkers, cadi 

piece moves in hs own individual di- 

rection. 

An Example 

For instance, the king moves one 

square to the left or right, then down 

or up skipping a square and land- 

ing at another square, a different 

color from the one from which he 

started (confusing, isn't rt?). If that 

square is occupied, which is really 

what one wants, say hy a queen, 

then that queen, ha-ha, belongs to 

the knight. 

Removed ai> Opponent 

Thus, one has disposed of one 

opponent getting closer to the hen- 

pecked king, who should be happy 

to be rid of his royal henpecker and 

most powerful piece on the board. 

The Lowell Chess Club labors 

faithfully to dethrone the king at 

every oil ess meet and every game at 

which it plays. 

On Success in High School 

(For the People Who Cqre) 

By tee Wakefield 

Because of the, uh, varied comment our last treatment of this subject 

provoked, we have formulated a new research staff to continue our series. 

Unfortunately, the last one chose not to jeopardize its own chances of 

success by exposing its identity. If vou remember, our last article discussed 

pupil-teacher relationships. Now we v/ill give you a few broader hints on 

general success in high school. / ^ r 

On being popular. Only the extrovert is \ycll-Hkcd. Force yourself to 

laugh ioudly at your own humor; this shows.only you have the intelligence 

to appreciate your subtle jokes. Be offensive—loud clothes, hearty slaps on 

other peoples* hacks, sarcasm—all these set you apart. Show your superior- 

ity: you can always find someone smaller to pick on. When your friends do 

something, brag that you are better, and show to all that you can get the 

lowest grades possible because you arc "misunderstood.** Always remember 

the first step to fame ir in famousness. 

On doing homework. Leave homework mainly to the ones who have 

nothing better to dc. We realize that you sbouid formulate some sort of 

study habits for appearances* sake, so we have programmed one day which 

you should devote to homework during the week. Tri the afternoon rush 

home from school (in time for dinner). After dinner, mental tranquillity is 

necessary if you arc to do good work, so relax, make a date for Saturday, 

and ask that cute Monde to do your rough homework. And don't miss that 

good TV program at nine. At about ten-thirty you should be ready to do 

homework, 30 put something soothing on the phonograph and read another 

cnaptcr of Peyton Place. Then figure out how you can stumble tlirough the 

next day without having your lessons prepared. Then get some sleep. 

Concluding our scries, let us sum up a 0:w of our-.tips. The successful 

student is one who shows superiority when he is inferior, who puts teachers 

in their place, and who keeps his mind active by learning how not to learn. 

(Some circles still maintain the succscsful student is one who doesn't believe 

everything he reads in The Lowell.) 

MOVIE OF..THE-MONTH 

This issue a new feature is being 

introduced in The Lowell—the Lowell 

Movie Review. This issue's subject is 

Jerry Lewh' new picture, Roek-a-Bye 

Baby, which was previewed Aprl 5 at 

the Golden Gate. 

Jerry Lewis as TV repairman 

Clayton Poole, finds himself the ad- 

opted father of three baby girls—tri- 

ple threats to his happy bachelor- 

hood. Lewis' fight to keep the trip- 

lets, his girl friend's razor-wielding 

father, and his crush on a top Hol- 

lywood star present promising situa- 

tions, and they live up to their prom- 

ise, nnd several tuneful songs add 

spice. Marilyn Maxwell co-stars as 

the Hollywood actress. 

Rock-a-Bye Raby hasn't been re- 

leased yet. 'but for an hilarious eve- 

ning, this ts a good bet when it docs 

come out. 

Boys, Beware! 

GirlsAdvance 

Once every term, open season on 

males rolls around to Lowell. At 

this time, It isn't unusual to sec a 

wily junior, with that Twin* Dance 

look on her face, stalking a wary 

senior in the halls, in the court, at 

lunch, or most any place. For the 

Tuirp Dance is the semi-annual 

girl-a^k-boy affair. 

This term/it'll he held in the girls' 

h'ym on May 9. Tickets will be on 

stale several days in advance ,and the 

dance shouKl -be a sellout.

Grand Old School 

Brickpile By the Park . : 

Vignettes of Life at'Lo'Well- 

By TOM 

The tired, calloused hand of the 

overworked custodian slowty opens 

the battle-scarred front doors of the 

ancient school and sleepily saunters 

inside to begin his day of chores. He 

is faced with cleaning the dimly-lit, 

cavernous halls of the foot-worn 

floors of this great school, the oldest 

higli'schoot west of the Mississippi. 

One -by one the members of the fac- 

ulty arrive, weary from 'the long 

hours of the previous night spent 

marking tests and just barely find- 

ing the strength to come up with a . 

surprize quiz that will delight and 

amaze their book-happy pupils. It is 

well past eight o'clock and the old 

school is; awakened to another rou- 

tine of crowded classes and noisy 

students. 

As the rusty hinges.of the aged 

doors to the Victorian classrooms 

creak with each entrance, the tal- 

ented and eager scholars make their 

joyful arrival to begin another day 

of learning. Here in these rooms that 

•vere even then considered old and 

worn-out, sat the flapper girls of the 

twenties. These seats were filled by 

many who have achieved fame and 

fortune, such as Carol Channing, 

Howie Dallmar, Marty Links, and 

other celebrated graduates of the 

crumbling edeficc. The "Grand- 

daddy" of California'.*; prep schools 

begins another day. 

By the time the noonday sun, $0 

typical -of San Francisco, shines 

brightly through the murky win- 

"dows of the school, the Lowell stu- 

dents have worked up tremendous 

appetites. They spend their lunch 

hour recovering from the intensive 

mental; exertion of the previous four 

hours. As they sun themselves in 

the "yard'* they momentarily forget 

about the pending exam in the sixth 

perioc 1 , and day-dream of the week- 

end, of parties, of dates, and of 

pleasant scenes away from this aca- 

demic cloisfcr. The more ambitious 

among them take physical exercise 

by playfully pelting their unsuspect- 

ing playmates with water-filled bal- 

loons or else go on the warpath ami 

raid the "Wigwam." The school day 

is now in full swing. 

When the tired hands of tho class- 

room clock finally droop to 3:10 in 

the p.m., the great exodus gees under 

way, and the cxhaustf*»turients find 

renewed vigor as they'crush through 

the exiU Tli*: 1«-1—. 

BAKER 

giris and boys rush to get away from 

school and crowd into a; "hack" for 

the homeward trek Jn the tranquil 

traffic of San Francisco. 

When finally the janitor turns the 

key thar Incks the doors to this great 

hall of learning, the sun is already 

setting behind the majestic Golden 

Gate. The students arc now at home 

and many of them have begun al- 

ready to prepare for the next day's 

jrrind.Tn contemplation one thinks 

back on the events of the day.'There 

was that low freshman who was lost 

in the maze of Lowell's dark: cot*ri-' 

dors, and who squirmed with em- 

barrassment when she asked the 

"high and mighty" senior fo»* di- 

rections. This same senior couldn't 

find the right words when he asked 

the low freshman for a date. T3ien 

there was the life member of CSF, 

who has been losmg sleep and de- 

veloping a ncurosisjworrying wheth- 

er or not he will get'a mark of A or 

just 3 mere A-minus in math analy-

ably dreaming of the day when he 

might represent Uncle Sam in the 

Olympics. And he recalls the group 

of fourth-period lunchers who gaped 

with admiration at the sleek, "tough" 

Chrysler 300 which is. driven so 

proudly by a popular member ot the 

faculty. - 

These arc but a sample of the

In all the hullabaloo, however, a 

question happened to occur in my 

mind. What about the teachers? The 

answer was simple: That's their 

fault—they chose to teach. This 

question, though, produced another 

once; one not so easily answered. 

Why on earth do teachers êach? 

I decided to consult authorises on 

the matter and what better authori- 

ties could there be than teachers 

themselves? \\ 

Some teachers, such as Mr. Hrauer, 

literally fell into, teaching. Mr. 

Braticr was dissatisfied with tht 

business world and upon the advice 

of a friend and a battery of job 

placement tests—here he is. 

To M-i»s Mctcalf a teaching ca- 

reer is the result of a desire to help 

young people find their way of life 

and their way of happiness. 

;. With Miss Anderson the answer 

is simple: "I enjoy the kids." 

I Miss Dealtry finds it fun and re- 

warding to work with young people. 

Of course not all teachers really 

enjoy teaching at all- Some prefer 

"To bask jn the Mexican sun. These 

teachers generally move to Acapulco

EL CERRITO RELAYS 

TOMORROW 

Payne's Frame 

By JIM PAYNE 


Centered in our Sports Spotlight for this issue is one of the most courageous, 

"never say die" athletes that we have ever met. He is Tim Curtis, 

who, unlike many outstanding individuals in athletics, *Mnks of his team 

and is all ready to make personal sacrifices for it. 

; Take, for example, the track meet against Washington. Tim ran a beautiful 

50.2 quarter mile. Understandably tired after this winning effort, he 

relaxed, waiting for the relay. 

Fifteen mi—\*es later Coach Wolf came to him and told him that the 

team had a chance to beat Washington and asked Tim if he felt like running 

the 220 for additional team points. 

Tim immediately responded by putting on his track 

shoes and, five minutes later, starting the 220. At about 

the 150 mark the tired Tim found himself three yards 

behind the Washington frontrunner. He then turned 

on what seemed to be a "super-high" gear and won 

the race by five yards in 22.7. 

After such an afternoon some would probably have 

been ready to pat themselves on the back, shower and 

dress and come back to watch >Jie rest of the meet 

from the stands. >"• .' 

Tim Curtis Not Tim. In fifteen minutes he was back for an 

anchor lap in the relay. Given the baton ten yards behind Washington's 

Calvin Murray, Tim didn't quit; he again called on thta super-high gear, 

passed Murray on the outside and went on to winby five yards. 

It's really a pleasure to be on the same team with a guy like that. 

Tim plans to enter San Jose State in the fall to prepare himself for a 

career in physical education instruction and track coaching.

The Recreation Department claims il spent $9000.for the improvement' 

of the Kezar track. It sure sot taken if it did. There arc two visible improvements. 

First, the drainage has improved enough so that there can he 

a meet the day after ,t rain, providing it doesn't rain the day of the meet. 

Second, the tracV is a little more firm, which makes for slightly faster 

times. True, these arc some improvements—but not $9000 worth. What 

about the rocks that are half as big as your thumb that He in different spots 

on the track? When a runner steps on one of those, he really knows it. Why 

didn't the city include this in its improvement program? 

The Kczar oval could house many larce prep invitational relay meets. 

but not in its present condition. Athletes won't travel 70 or 80 miles to fun 

on a sub-par track. Sure wish the Recreation Department would really £o 

all out and make Kezar what it could he—one of the best tracks in the 

Bay Area.

SUNSHINE BEAMS AGAIN 

The days of genuine spring have lavishly filled our court scene with 

rich, hot sunshine. Now and only now can we discard our fur-lined jackets, 

and heavy overcoats, our vast number of thick knit swer.ters, those casual 

all-wool pcndlctons, and finally the bulky and baggy corduroy pants 

SPRING FASHIONS ARRIVE 

In place of the sloppy winter garmet:ts we've been forced to urear, come 

tighter, more fashionable spring outfits. r . 

Last week I had!the privilege of eating my lunch during fourth period 

and I got a swell chance to pick out some of the more casual toggers among 

the lower classmen. 

The first person to catch my eye was a fella by the name of Bobby 

Friend I've never yet seen Bobby with a wrinkle in his clothes or his hair 

messed up. Danny Ayag with his corduroy sport coats and his ivy riding 

pants is a standout Dave Urrea, wearing his two older brothers' castoffs 

and Charley Sugarman donning his cotton, ivy league plaid shirts are 

staying right in the line. 

Fourth period should also be proud of Rul Velarde with all of his sipped 

choke-neck sweaters, Toni Lyn^h's lowcut tennis shoes* and those lovable 

Rubin twins, Stan and Steve with their dual doozies.

Even though there has been varied 

opinion on the idea of forming a

Bob Urrea. the vice president, intend 

to follow it through. 

This club seems to be the Block

to straighten up this term. The 

cream of the crop will be chosen 

from the ranks for this club. 

Standards Set 

Members" of . this' honor system 

will be chosen for theirRoyalty; .sincerity^-'and 

willingness to work to 

make the Block L a-.better organize 

tion. : 

The people chosen for this club 

would handle all the activities which 

the Block L undertakes. Because of 

this the members would have to have 

at least average scholarship records. 

For this reason Tony Ellis and-Mr. 

Wolf, the adviser, are trying to raise 

the quota from no F's to C's or better. 

If the Block L were asked to help 

keep order at the rallies, the Lettermens 

C!ub would handle this and 

other activities and be the leaders of 

the Block L. // 

Members Voice Opinions 

These members of tVe Block L 

voiced their opiuionsôf the new 

shakcup: \ v \ 

Rich Shemano: "Some people have 

the idea that the Block L i? a bunch 

of dumb athletes. This society would 

build up respect in the Block L. 

John Garber: "This society would 

bring the Block L together and make 

them a better organization." 

Steve Swig: "This new club would 

create a new spirit of unity within 

the Block L., which would make 

them ,-trive to make Lowell a better 

school." 

Alan May: "I think that this idea 

shows no merit because every member 

of the Block L is already a member 

of the Lcttermen's Club, and 

this couldn't mak«- the Block L any 

better."

Student-Teacher Relations; 

School Hour Distribution 

Look, Mom, No Head! 

Club Capers 

By PAT CALLAHAN 

By Bob Lehmann 

During the past few years, students at Lowell have been living under the 

false impression that Student Government has ?. hand in the allotment of 

time for extra-curricular activities during the hours school is in session. 

It should be of interest for the students to realize that the privileges 

granted to the students during their school day, such as snack, rallies, Senior 

Day, etc., ant not to be confused with tho after-school activities such as 

dances, games, etc. Only the administration has the power to distribute time 

for "extras" during school hours. Students are given ample opportunity to 

"express" themselves in the way they pfan and participate in their after- 

school activities. 

Many students feel that high school is the time to learn democracy. Even 

so, the administrative heads cannot give complete freedom to a group of 

people which Is not ready to live and exist under an unrestricted democracy. 

In short, some people just aren't ready to rule themselves during the teen- 

age years. This being true, it is only right that the school program be con- 

trolled by the people who are working lo see that we, as students, receive 

a well-rounded education.

Lowell AFS Representative 

Margaret Goldsmith, rcg 319, has 

been chosen Lowell's representative 

of the American Field Service for 

the summer of 1958. Margaret, a 

high junior and a recent import from 

Portland, Or?., has been informed 

she will travel to Greece as part of 

the A.F.S. program. She leaves from 

New York by plane on June 30, and 

returns about a week after school re- 

sumes in September. 

American Field Service (A.F.S.) 

was originally begun by a group of 

New York businessmen who felt 

that a project of this type would not 

only offer wonderful travel experi-

Stanford Hosts 

Lowell CSF'ers 

; At 8:30a.m. one morning last week 

two Greyhound bus loads of Lowell 

CSF'crs took off for-.a.. field, trip, to 

the campus of Stanford University, 

near Palo Alto. .-: ; 

Lowellites were given a grand tour 

of the compus which included listen- 

ing in on an 7 English literature, or 

foreign language class, and a demon- 

stration of the principles behind the 

H-bomb and the continuing of nu- 

cle- - tesfs. '•'"• 

The Lowell students also had an 

opportunity to visit the campus 

: chapel, dedicated to Leland, Stan- 

ford, founder of the university, an'd 

the Hooyer Library, whose impres- 

sive 14-story, height afforded them 

an overall view of the entire campus. 

Lunch was eaten in "The Cellar," 

a sort of enlarged collegiate version 

•' of the Lowell dog house. Following 

lunch, the students toured the dor- 

mitories which one enthusiastic stu- 

dent described as "beautiful." The 

visit wss concluded with a brief 

glimpse of the art museum and the 

theater. 

Lowell Rates in Math Test 

James Woo, arstuc*ent of our 

^school, won $100. ia a recent m?the- 

.' matic£ contest sponsored jointly by 

:: the Mathematical Assn. of America 

?.nd S^n Francisco State College. 

• In the competition George Wash- 

. ingtpn ranked first, Abraham Lin- 

coln fifth,i. f«d ..Lowell sixth. Gary 

Cooper,- also of llowell, won $100. 

Winning schools are selected on 

the basis of the average made on the 

examination of the three students of 

that particular high school who 

scored highest. ^Xctt than 5000 stu- 

dents for 182 schools participated. 

This roontli the Ciub Cao*rs cor- 

ner of The Lowell would like to ex- 

tend an official welcome to Lowell's 

newest member of its family of clubs, 

the Literary Club. 

The club's founders arc Tom Da- 

vid and Margaret Goldsmith; its 

SDonsor is Mr. Handel, a compara- 

tively recent addition to the faculty. 

The purpose of ihe new club is to 

encourage discussion and promote 

better understanding of the better 

plays and short stories. These are 

grouped according to period: i.e., the 

Victorian Era or the Renaissance, 

and discussed according to their re- 

lationship to the period. This' group- 

ing assures the participants of a bet- 

ter understanding of the author's 

purpose when they view his era in 

the same circumstances as he must 

have viewed it 

At present, the members are con- 

sidering the twentieth century and 

the influence of modern times on 

creative wrting. 

There are no officers ,as such, in 

the Literary Club but a discussion 

leader presides over the meeting. 

These discussion leaders rrtate 

their turns as chairman so that each 

member who wishes may serve as a 

leader. Gloria Kay serves as record- 

ing secretary. Meetings are held 

after school on the second 'and 

fourth Tuesdays of the month. 

This club offers a valuable oppor- 

tunity for all students who are in- 

terested in the relationship of the 

times to literature (or of literature to 

ti.e times) to present their view- 

points and share the viewpoints of 

the other members. All interested 

students are invited *o attend thi 

meetings and exchange opinions on 

current literature with the members. 

MOVIE OF THE MONTH 

The Bridge on the River Kwai is 

one of the most expensive and ac- 

curate pictures ever filmed, for Di- 

rector David Lean demands perfec- 

tion. Perfection he very nearly 

achieved. Although rather discon- 

nected in spots, it is one of the most 

satisfying, tense, and gripping films 

I have ever seen. 

i 

the River Kwai, Incidentally, this 

was the longest, largest bridge ever 

constructed in Ceylon, where the pic- 

ture was filmed. 

Conversation Piece ;. 

As a conversation piece, Bridge is 

practically infallible. Some sure-fire 

arguments from the picture: rWas 

Shears a lovable coward or a iov- 

Although the top .billing, goes to 

William Holdcn as Maj. Shears, the 

picture belongs to Alec Guinness as 

Col. "Old Nick" Niclcelson and his 

magnificent bridge. As the stubborn, 

heroic British colonel, determined to 

make his Japanese captors abide by 

the rulings of the Geneva Confer- 

ence, Guineas is properly pig-headed. 

His. decision to show ths Japanese 

what a company of British soldiers 

can do when they put their minds to 

it results in a mighty bridge over 

able hero? Did Col/ Nickelson mean 

to do what he did in the end? (I 

don't want to gi\-e away the ending-— 

it's a real thriller.) - ^- '" ''~* 

^C 

As a thought-proyoker. Bridge is' 

a powerful anti-war'film. A warning 

—for those whose stomachs are on - 

the queasy side—parts of the film 

mzy not be too pleasant. 

Still, Bridge, now playing at 

the St. Francis, is a rewarding ex- 

perience.

Field trips are not left for fourth

18 at 12:35 p.m., Mr. Faulkner's jour- 

nalism I class left on its semi-private 

Muni bus for a visit to the Call-Bul- 

letin. 

We arrived a little behind sched- 

ule because of the fact that teacher 

was in doubt as to the exact location 

of the Call. After touring Howard

business of a field trip.

circulation department, whose name 

I can't remember.

but I managed to understand some 

of what was being explained by lip

^ IT'S HOT WIRED 

Five respectable looking girls were trying to hot-wire a car, which cer-

After the combination to the hood was cracked, the battery went dead so 

Frances Wong, who hns the world's beat boy friend, got her crew of 

chemise-togged mechanics consisting of Shirlene Leong, Suzi Chuck, Peggie 

Chew, and Diana Chau to push her down to the gas station.

Kickball 

A few non-exercist minded girls 

played kickball in the lower court. 

Miss Boehm's fourth period gym 

class was content. Suddenly, a whiz- 

zing sound through the air disturbed 

the placid moments. A kickbaH had 

escaped over the fence. Farther,

a passing soda pop truck.

frantically shouted, jumping up and

^ CAROLYN GREENBERG 

"How-do you ever find the lime?" This question is "often posed to 

Shield member Carolyn Grecnbcrg, one of the busiest gals your reporter 

has thus far interviewed. Carolyn is one of those onc-in-a-million people, 

who not only finds the time for numerous activities, but does everything 

she attempts to do well. Carolyn has held rcg offices, she is the Chairman 

of the Ushers Reserve and engages in many other activities, but she con- 

siders even the most menial of jobs or occasions worth her best effort. 

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY 

One of the many interests that consumes Carolyn's time in sports. A 

member of the GAA and Block L, she has participated in such sports as 

softball, tennis, bowling and ice skating. A member of the Advanced 

Orchestra, her sincere love of music is demonstrated by her expert handling 

of the violin and piano. 

AWARDS 

A life member of the CSi 1 *, Carolyn has won such awards as the Good 

Citizenship Award, presented fty.the Daughters of the American Revolution 

and the Bank of America Merit Award for Fine Arts. SI c plans to attend 

Stanford, where she will enter field of medicine. To be a pediatrician is 

her goal. 

JAMES WOO 

An interview with James Woo, life member of the CSF and award 

winner for Lowell, has been quite an experience for your reporter. Jim was 

a iemi-fina'ist in the. National Merit Contest held recently, and he also won 

some money by participating in a mathematics contest; but he talks ?>out 

these honors without a trace of conceit. As for college, where else but 

Harvard! Jim hopes to study physics and use his talents as a physicist in 

research. 

VERY AMIABLE 

Unwilling to condemn himself, Jim states that he has NO pet peeves, 

and likes everybody. His special likes include Chinese, Italttitt and French 

food (he likes to eat) and science an.I mathematics (he likes to study?). He 

must like basketball also, for he served on the 120's basketball team. 

PRACTICAL JOKE? 

Church activities partially take up Jim's extra time, and he also beats his 

brains by playing for Lowell's Chess Club, and acquainting new students to 

Lowell by serving as a Big Brother. I'm afraid that Jim had the idea that 

this interview was a practical joke! Surprised, Jim? 

HIGH & MIGHTIES PULL THROUGH 

Yes, it's true! Once again the high and-mighty upp ere lass men are 

awarded the trophy for loggers of the universe. It's a rare privilege for tne 

to single out guys like Frank Halldorson, Warren Boschin',~l ? red Dagnino, 

Hideo Saiki, Marc Tayior,"J£cn Poise, Steve Lachman, Al Rossi, Ave Cobo, 

Lou Cclillo, and Brad Nicol. These arc the guys who go all out and strive 

to achieve the recognition of casualness in togs. They also keep the clothing 

industry rich and their parents poor. But don't let the thought of money 

stop you fellas, cuz you're holding up the Lowell tradition and staying, right 

up with the standards, .

Body and an outstanding golfer—Rich Shemano. 

Rich shot a par 59 at Lincoln against Balboa last week. He's the longest

chance to win the all-city meet. 

A low senior, Rich plans to transfer his golfing

Rich shot a par 69 at Lincoln against Balboa last week. He's the longest

* * * 

ALL-CITY TRACK PREVIEW 

POLY—Led by Alex and Ellis Jenkins in the 

sprints and Jesse Strlcs in the broad jump and pole 

vault, the Parrots should be strong enough to cop allcity 

this year. The high jump is solid with Nate Jackson 

leading the way with a leap of 6-4. presently best in 

No. Cal. Their 880 relay currently has the best time 

Rich Shemano in i he city of 1:30.4, but has been defeated in city 

competition once this season (by Lowell, of course). 

WASHINGTON—The sprints are covered by Mike Meloy, who should 

pick up third or fourth place points in the fast field. Cal Murray and Mel 

Wilson arc both running the 440. Murray may place third while Wilson is 

probably good for no more than fourth or fifth place points. Ralph Mathi.s, 

who hai> a jump of 6-2, should battle it out with Poly's Jackson for first 

place high jump honors. The relay.has a time of 1:31.7. which is third best in 

the city. 

BALBOA—The Hues' strongest event is the 880, in which Jim Smith 

should nail down firs: place. He has already beaten his nearest competitor, 

Lowell's Tobriner, in 2:01.5. ' : 2lol> Grecno may be good for a fifth in the 100. 

hut probably won't place it, the 220. Nichols may be good for.a third or 

fouith in the lows. The relay sport the city's second best time of 1:31.6, and 

should be right up there when the final reckoning comes. 

LINCOLN—Ed Tank is as close to a cinch for first place in the 100 

yard dash as one can find. He shares the best time in No. Cal. with a blazing 

9.8. He has a 22 flat 220 ;Jso and is easily good for a second or third there. 

Don Brieinlc is a good bet to take the discus. He has a best of 137-3%, 

No. Ca1.*s fifth best. Itich Bycrs should place in the mile as should Dennis 

Jones in the 880. Their relay is one of tire city's top six. 

SAINT IGNATIUS--Tom Colton is the Wildcats* only outstanding 

performer. He has pole vaulted 13-3^ this season and should take all-city 

in thai event without any trouble. The relay will surprise it" it-even gets into 

the finals. ]" • " 

MISSION—The 440 is the-only event the Bears should expect to place 

in. Roosevelt Williams, who has a* best of 51.6 should be among the top 

four in the finals. The relay hardly figures to get itnc the finals. 

GALILEO—Ti»c Lions are another team with one standout and nothing 

else. Leon Price, a 10.2 and 22.2 sprinter, will be among the first four in 

both races. Their relay riocsr/t figure to make the finals. . - 

LOWELL—Tim Curtis leads the strongest Indian team in recent years. 

Tim has bests ot 48.9 and 21.9 in the 440 and 220 respectively. Mike Tobriner 

will battle Bal's Smith for first place in the 880 and Pat Kelleher should 

place in the broad jump. Pete Schwindt seems good-for-a third or fourth 

in the shot and your columnist hopes to be in the first four in the 440 and 

220. The 880 relay is the only undefeated relay team in the city and although 

its time of 1:31.8 is fourth best in the city, it has beaten all of the teams with 

times better than it has. The relay should win All-City. 

Lowell Golfers 

Look Strong 

Wth a two and one record the 

,:Lowell golf team shows great promise 

to win their forthcoming matches. 

The Indians dropped their second 

match in the season to S.I.,/due to 

the fact that they were oft "their 

games and played poorly against a 

strong S.I. team. In the most decisive 

win •«•.- their schedule to date, 

the Indian divotcrs trampled over 

•Balboa AVt'h p .clean sweep of nine to 

nothing. 

Loading the team with a win 

streak of three straight is Rich Shemano. 

who has been shooting good 

consistent gelt. In another important 

match Pave Pasiin retained his spot 

as sixth man on the team by beating 

A\ Epcs, who challenged him. 

The members of the second squad 

arc also looking to the future by 

practicing diligently to mak« next 

year's squad. Albert Epcs is improving 

his caddying by packing for Sandy 

Loube in the matches. By doing 

this, Al will be able to carry the 

general's bag at West Point. 

Mr. Argent, the golf coach, who 

had an injured arm and couldn't 

play, but is now back in the swing of 

things, is helping the second stringers 

improve their golf games. With 

Mr. Argent on the active list the 

team should improve greatly.

The Lowell nine went down in defeat to Saint Ignatius 7-2 on 

Friday, April 25, at Big Rec. The high point of the 'game was the 

exceptionally fine pitching of Pat Murphy. Pat gave up only four

the Lowell track squad met Lincoln 

at the Kezar oval. Lowell lost another 

heartbrcakcr, this time by the

the field events again killed the Indians. 

Tim Curtis defeated Lincoln's Ed

Stendhal's Story 

Satirizes Society 

C By PAT CALLAHAN 

Stendhal's classic story-of class 

conflict in post-Napoleonic France 

has been produced with all the satire 

found in the book. Gerard Phillippe 

as Julien Sorel is a medium-sized, 

large-eyed, pointed-chinned, wistfulfaced, 

curly-haired, irresistible, lower-class 

Frenchman with aspirations 

to the aristocracy. He plans his future 

carefully, step by step, but is 

lead astray from his plans by any 

litile temptation—such as the wife 

of his first employer or the daughter 

of his second. Kis enforced separation 

from his first love, the mayor's 

wife, leads him to enter the clergy, 

the symbol of thfcblaclc. In his heart, 

however, he worships Napoleon, and 

yearns to be a great soldier. The 

army is the symbol of the red.- 

His ambition, his drsire to break 

into the upper ranks of society, gives 

rise to unfounded fears, and he becomes 

extremely sensitive to slights, 

êal or fancied, against his burgoise 

background. This sense of persecution

Anderson arid 

Patterson Tops 

In Teacher Poll 

The perennial favorites have tri- 

umphed again in the senior poll. The 

class of Spring '58 has chosen Mr. 

Jack Patterson and Miss Jean An- 

derson as their idea of top'notch 

faculty members. 

Since Mr. Patterson is in Mexico, 

he was unavailable for comment. 

Anyone who has even -been in his 

classes can fully appreciate the loss 

of an excellent teacher. However, we 

all wish him the best of luck in his 

new venture. 

A very close secc.d to Mr. Pat- 

terson in the balloting was Mr. Car- 

penter^ and it looks as if he is going 

to inhen' the Favorite Teacher 

crown. 

Mr. C:,.*nter has been teaching 

for five years, all spent at Lowell. 

He instructs both physics and biol- 

Alfred E. New-logy and holds a master's degree in 

the latter. When questioned about 

his pet gripe, he thought hard to find 

one and finally said it was students 

who left cverytbin.' "until the last 

minute. (So take warning, gang! He 

can tell if your papers were done the 

night before they were due.) 

Comments from Miss Anderson 

Miss Anderson, when she was first 

informed that she had won again 

this year, said, "Why don't they give 

somebody else a break?" 

On the more serious side, Miss 

Anderson reported that she really 

enjoys the post of librarian at Lowell 

and being a part of Lowell standards, 

traditions, and ideals. The library i$ 

becoming a s-ort of family, tradnion, 

she stated, for a number of the prcs* 

cm staff are the younger brothers 

and sisters of graduated staff mem- 

bers. 

She also gave a boost to all staffs, 

past and present, when she comment- 

ed that without their efficient efforts, 

and the cooperation of the faculty, 

the tremendous amount of work 

necessary in a school library would 

never be accomplished.

Biggest Thrill in Playing at Lowell 

TO THE HIGH SENIOR ATHLETES 

Well, the termination of four years of athletic competition 

under the banner of Lowell High School has come. The greater 

number of us will be going on to different colleges and universities. 

We will, in some cases, compete against 

each 1 other, pulling aganist those we once 

pulled with when we were at the Old Brick 

Building. At the end of the contest, whatever 

it may be, we will talk of the times we had at 

Lovell, and of the athletic improvement we've 

made since our high school graduation. Then 

we will go our separate ways. No, it will never 

be the same as it was here at Lowell; never 

JIM ?AYNE a&aui will we know each other as we do right 

now. 

MEMORIES WILL LAST 

We'll remember those first couple of seasons of instruction in the sport 

with which we will then be thoroughly familiar. Those fundamentals were 

taught to m by Lowell coaches. -.; 

We'll remember- earning lf-at Block Lf and it will mean almost as much to 

us then as it did when we first receievd it. 

We'll remember how Seff chewed us but or told us to "run around the 

yard!" We then thought we'd never recover from the embarrassment, but we'll 

stilt like him. 

We'll remember Milton and Veiling (with his "Old 73 sweatshirt) work" 

ing until dark with their football squads. 

We'll remember Drysdale, old ''Hitm-Diddy" showing us how 'o throw 

and slide correct!j. .. -, : 

We'll remember Wolf as teb man with the stopwatch in his hand and the 

cigarilto in bis fnonlh, and.bow much fun we had running under h : m, • 

GRADUATION BRINGS SEPARATION : 

Cobb will be at Howard m Washington. D.C., Curtis-at San Jose, 

Cobo at State. Hess ax Cal, Ed Jackson at U.S.F.. and Tobrincr at Stan* 

ford. They, like the the rest of us, will, remember that the football team' 

didn't tbeat Poly once in all the time we were here, but will carry whh 

them the hoac that Lowell "will do it soon. 

Some of us may become professional ath!eU\s. Who knows? But pro 

or amateur, regardless of the fame we may gaii:, we will, always remember 

Lowell High School as the place. 1 Foetbtall

Scholarship Tests 

Open to Juniors 

Under school guidance programs, 

juniors as well as seniors may now 

trtkc the 1958 Scholarship Qualifying 

Test. It will be given en Tuesday, 

October 21, at 7:30 a.m. Juniors 

and seniors arc eligible to take the 

examination upon payment of $1.00. 

The test is a two-hour College 

Entrance Examination Board Test 

designed for use in selection of securtdary 

school candidates for a large 

number of college and sponsored 

scholarships: national, regional,.and. 

local. 

Seniors will especialy want to take 

the SQT because they will secure an 

inexpensive prediction of other college 

aptitude test scores while gaining 

experience in taking tests of this 

nature. They will also have test 

scoresavailable which the secondary 

school may forward to any interested 

colleges and scholarship sponsors. 

No special preparation is necessary 

for the SQT. The test emphasizes 

abilities which an individual 

develops over a long period of time, 

so last minute cramming is not likely 

to improve scores significantly. 

Some of the scholarship programs 

offered to California students arc

PLAN AHEA D 

One hardly has time to digest his turkey dinner without 

Thanksgiving decorations being whisked from store windows and 

replaced by dazzling December reds and greens. 

We realize, as the familiar placard says, that one should plan 

ahead, but we'd like to enjoy the holidays while they are at hand 

before they becorre a memory. 

Tom Turkey is being edged out by Saintly Santa who already 

peers at you from a few scattered store shelves and counters. 

Already notices have appeared in our school bulletin asking for 

applicants for Christmas jobs. 

'We must make way for the pace of our commercial world, we 

know, but still we'd like to "carpe diem" as the Latin proverb 

goes. Some of you may be able to make Thanksgiving last a bit 

longer by bringing turkey sandwiches next week, but to those of 

you who come from hungrier families (and to the carriers of those 

luckier left-overs, too) we wish a long and lingering Happy 

Thanksgiving! '" 

Two-Fourths 

No one would disagree that July 4, the birthday of our inde- 

pendence as a nation, is a meaningful date in the calendar of this 

country's democratic achievements. But we suggest that the "free- 

dom of the fourth" is asserted in another month as well. 

November 4, Election Day, just recently passed, is perhaps 

just as important a date a? the other fourth. There may not-be 

as much noise and popping, but voters lined up outside of polls 

(and what could be more democratic than having many of these 

in neighborhood garages?) give those people sensitive to the sight 

of democracy in action equally as glowing a idling. "When in 

the course of human events, it becomes necessary" to evaluate the 

importance of these two "fourths" we muse that July's is a history 

lived while November's is a living history. 

Let There Be Music 

It occurred to us this past Veterans' Day that San Franciscans 

have a unique way of remembering and paying tribute to their 

veterans. On ihat school-less day we happened to wander past the 

Civic Center and noticed for the first time that our beautifully 

gilded home of song is called War Memorial Opera House! At 

first we wondered why the namers of the building chose to glorify 

the word "war," which brings to mind the ugliest of pictures, by 

emblazoning it in the building's cornerstone, and why of all places 

on an opera house. : 

The answers to these questions were slow in coming. An opera 

house is a place where the great creations of minds of free men 

are performed. And then we reasoned that the price of this world, 

in which creative thought in all fields,, not just music; could sur- 

vive and be encouraged, had been war... not jusi one, but many. 

Though the beauty and grace jif the building are as far jfrom the 

images of the destruction of .lâWêy^covld-b^ê thriee-letter

JV Gridders Have Successful Season, 7 Wins, 1 Tie 

Warriors Beat Bucs 

31-6 in Finale 

Our Lowell Junior Varsity has 

really come through this year. Un- 

der the great direction of Coach 

Andy Korba, the Papooses have 

gone through their league season 

undefeated. 

In their game aganist Sacred 

Heart, the little Indians stole the 

game by a score of 19 to 7. The 

scores were marked up on a 15-yard 

run by Jim Cofer, a 60-yard pass-run 

play involving 1 the Alvarcz-Cofer 

combination and thc final Lowell 

score came when Angelo Musantc, 

a center, recovered an Alvarez fum- 

ble in S.H.'s end zone Mike Gilman 

got thc only PAT on a run play. 

Outstanding players of this-game 

were Jim Sofer, T. R. Marino, Bob 

Samuel, Ray Valdez and Harvey 

Salgado. (At this print the reader 

should note that the JV's had been 

running without the work of one of 

their fine halfbacks, Terry Mesa, 

who is out for the remainder 'of the 

season due to a broken ankle- 5 re- 

ceived in a scrimmage with the Var- 

sity.) 

The JV's next game was against 

Galileo, and the little Rctfmcn 

steamrolled to axi easy; 28 t5o 6 vic- 

tory over the outclassed Lions. The 

Lowell tallies came on two long 

runs by Jim Cofer (60 and 25 yards}/ 

on a 45 yard pass play from HB 

Dennis Tsacheya to : Cofer and on a 

20 yard pass play from Alvarez to 

end Bill Carter. The PAT's were 

scored by Alvarez. Cofer, and Jerry 

Driscoll. Outstanding players were 

Alvarez, Tsucheya, Cofer, Kelly, 

Musante, Carter, Driscoll, and Ma- 

rino. Low-ll seemed.to' control the 

Lions all the wayr scoring in every 

quarter and 'making, all "tbe .PATs. 

In what amounted to the cham- 

pionship game of the Junior League, 

Lor/ell "fought to-a 7-7 tic: against, 

an inferior S.t Ignatius team. All of 

Lowell's points -were"scored'by end 

Bill Carter who -went for 'see on a* 

reverse run play and -then' turned 

right around and Tecovered an* Al- 

varez Jurable ia~ tbe .'end zone to" 

score the PAT- All through the 

game, it seemed j&at the brcalcs just 

couldn't go for Lowell but. the JV's 

still handled the 'Wildcats with com- 

parative, ease. Standouts were Kelly, 

Valdez, Samuel, ofer, Tsucheya and 

Alvarez. , 

In their-final- game of the year, 

the Warriois-joxassacTcd the Bucs 

by. a^score, of f3X-£ Alvarez and 

Tsuctfeya'eacii scored from"* "about 

ten yards ,'Out^ and Dave^Kblaiaa 

and Mike Gilman both crushed the 

center of the Balboa defense on two- 

yard, plunges into paytlirt Ron Stof- 

fen(j an end, recovered a Balboa 

fumble on the X-owfll -forty, and ran 

sixty yards to score the other Lowell 

tally. Carter; made our only PAT 

of the day on a pass play. Standouts 

were T. R. Marino, Salgado, An-

Lowell racked up its first victory 

of the year by upsetting Mission 

14-6 at K«ar on Wednesday, Oct. 

22. Lucky for Lowell that only the 

final score counts. For the first 3 % 

quarters the Indians looked bad on 

the Scoreboard and even worse on 

the statistics sheet. 

'Lowell only gained 38 yards net 

running and pa«sing; made but two 

first downs, one on a penalty and 

the other an automatic award on thc 

18-yard scoring play. Not only that 

•but. the Indians fumbled 10 times. 

The tough Lowell defense turned:' 

dangerous and speedy Herb Will- 

iams inside and stopped him and 

covered his receivers like an um- 

brella, held on until the offense 

could .finally score. 

It came, finally, midway in the 

fourth quarter..Lowell moved to tl;e 

Mission 13 but was held on downs/ 

r 

Two plays later, however. Mission's': 

Orsie Fxazier. fumbled and Steve 

Israel, "a defensive demon all day/' 

recovered on the Bear 19. 

On the third down, quarterback 

Kay Tyson pitched out to Steve 

Rubin. Steve faked the sweep, 

stopped, and fired to twin Stan all 

alone in the end zone. Pat Murphy 

booted the ^winning point 

The Indians got their second score 

as a gift when Mission, with a 

fourth-and-scven" situation on its 

own 10 yard line, elected to run and 

Mansfield Walker was tackled by 

Dave Urrea on the Mission 1-yard 

Jine. Q.B. George Warner drove in 

with only 18 seconds left hi the 

ganie. Pat Murphy added thc extra 

point. Some of the standouts were 

Dick Lindsley, defensive, terror; 

Steve Bley, middle guard; Leigh 

Callaway, offensive and . defensive 

tackle; defensive ends Bob Bchr, 

Bob Lehman n; linebackers Ben 

Pope, Dave Urrea, Steve (T.D.)

Ayag; and i-Tony Gonzales. • 

Lowell won its second straight 

game by beating Galileo, 21-6, on 

Friday, October 21 at Galileo Field. 

Lowell was ahead 21-0 when Leon 

Price of Galileo exploded on a re- 

verse for 74 yards and the Lions' 

only touchdown late in the fourth 

quarter. 

This all came too laic. Lowell 

scored easily in the first quarter 

when Ben Pope recovered a Galileo 

fumble on the Lion 22. On the first 

play Steve Rubin made IS yards and 

Tony Gonzalcs went the final seven 

on the next iry. 

It-was a defensive battle until the 

third period when Steve Rubin took 

a pitchout from George Warner, 

faked an end sweep and then tossed 

to Pat Murphy who caught it all 

alone and rambled into tht end zone 

for a 57-yard play. 

Keith Caldcn recovered another 

Lion fumble on the: 14 and Warner 

passed to Frank Halldorson for the 

touchdown. Pat Murphy added all 

tarec extra points.

| IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? 

(One of the classics of American journalism is tbe famous editorial written by 

Francis •?. Church, published in tbe Sew York Sun Sept. 20, 1897, under the 

beading, "Is There a Santa Claus?" Because it has become traditional with many 

newspapers to publish it annually at this season. The Lowell presents it to its 

readers today for their pleasure and inspiration.—Ed.) 

We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently thc com- 

munication below, expressing at the same time our great satisfaction that 

its faithful author is numbered among thc friends of The Sun. 

Dear Editor: I am eight yeare old. Some of my little friends say 

there is no Santa Claus. Papa says "Ii you see it in The Sun it's so." 

Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? 

Virginia O'Hanlon 

115 West Ninety-fifth Street 

Virginia, your little friends arc wrong. They have been af- 

fected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe 

except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is 

not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, 

whether they be men's or children's., are little. In this great uni- 

verse of ours man is a mere insect, an ant. in his intellect, as 

compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by 

thev-rritelligencc capable of grasping the whole truth and knowl- 

Yes. Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly 

: and generosity an\^ devotion^ exist, and vou know that 

they abound and give to our life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! 

how dreary would be thc world if there were no Santa Claus. It 

would be as dreary as if there were no Virginia. There would be 

no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance, to make tolerable 

this existence. Wr^would have no enjoyment, except in serse 

and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world 

would be extinguished. 

Not believe in Santa Claus? You might as well not believe in 

fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all 

chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if 

they did not see Santa Claus coming down, -what would that 

prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there 

is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those 

that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies 

dancing on the lawn? Of course not. but that's no proof that 1 

they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the won- 

ders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. 

You may tear apart thc baby's rattle and see what makes the 

noise in side, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which 

not the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only 

faith, fancy,-•poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain 

and view and picture the supernal-beauty'and-glory beyond. Is 

it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else 

'real and abiding. 

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives and he lives forever. 

A thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the 

heart of childhood. 

Speedy Students Seen Scrambling 

In Self-Scheduling Scene 

Whoever saM "Beware of thc Iilcs 

of March" surely would have had a 

word of warning about the 28th of 

January which has been sedately 

assigned as self-scheduling dty. 

To many Lowcllites this will be 

an intrpduc Jon to what is less se- 

dately known to the mor« experi- 

enced as Scramble Day. the day on 

which choices for new classes and 

teachers'-are made. 

Despite what uppcrclassmen tell 

wide-eyed freshmen, fatalities are 

rare although nudges, stubbed toes, 

and occasional fractures, aren't. 

The day proccdes somewhat as 

follows: At the sound of the gun a 

well modulated voice will yell, 

"They're off!" at which point it's 

each man for himself. The starting 

point is thc registry room and the 

designated hurdles along the way 

arc stops at the classrooms of your 

subject choices. Tbe first one to 

Editor Appointment, 

Lowell Red & White, 

Voted By Student Body 

Proposition A was passed by the 

Lowell student body in a special 

election, December 8, when it re- 

ceived thc necessary two-thirds vote 

of over 1200 out of the 1577 ballots 

which were cast. 

This passage will amend the Stu- 

dent Body Constitution which, nrior 

to thc vote, allowed for thc election 

of editors of ihc Lowell and thc Red 

and White. The procedure now calls 

for the appointment uf these posi- 

tions by thc faculty sponsor with thc 

approval of thc student editorial 

boards. 

The journalism staffs of the news- 

paper and the yearbook Agreed with 

Mrs. Rosenberg, faculty advisor 

who sponsored thc proposition, that 

this amendment would result in the 

election of better qualified editors 

thus resulting in more satisfactory 

publications. 

Appointments of Spring editors 

will be announced in January.

Taught ABC's 

Just because two representatives 

of the Alcoholic Beverage Control 

Department visited Mr. Milton's ci- 

vics classes December 3 doesn't 

mean that "short snorters" abound 

at Lowell, not even when these gen- 

tlemen were summoned by letter. 

The visit was prompted by a letter 

from L12 Melissa Walker to the de- 

partment requesting information on 

th? problem of teenage drinking. The 

letter was "answered" in person by 

Mr. Harris and Mr. Schneider. 

The two gentlemen explained the 

duties and special assignments of 

the ABC Department as thc investi- 

gation of applications for licenses to 

those wishing to sell alcoholic beve- 

rages, the actual issuing of such li- 

censes, the administration of the 

ABC's laws, and the making of ar- 

rests when necessary. 

The department is attempting to 

combat the teenage liquor problem 

with laws prohibiting the sale of li- 

quor to minors, and upholding the 

right to refuse service to minors. 

Considered against the law arc thc 

presentation of false identification, 

possession of liquor by minors, em- 

ployment of minors in places which 

are designed and primarily used for 

thc sale and service of alcoholic bev- 

erages and the'permitting of miners 

on such sale premises. 

It was explained that violation of 

any of the above misdemeanors is 

punishable by a minimum fine of 

$100.00. 

By Pauline Lindsay-Stewart 

"If I am fancy free and love to 

wander," carolled thc little boy with 

the curly hair "it's just the gypsy 

in my soul." 

Friday afternoon, Dec. 5, two 

Lowell reporters and a photographer 

visited the St. Francis Day Home in 

search of a story to climax thc 

Lowell Christmas Drive. They found 

that story. 

The hvme itself is a largo, homey, 

comfortable building, simply fur- 

nished to. suit thc needs of the chil- 

dren. 

Our first visit was to thc large 

colorful room in which some 60 chil- 

dren were practicing for their annual 

Christmas play. "This year," ex- 

plained quiet spoken Sister Cathlccn. 

"we're having a gypsy Christmas." 

"Who arc these children?" we 

asked. "Where do they come from? 

Why do they come to the day 

home?" 

The St. Francis Day Home, which 

is run by thc Sisters of the Holy 

Family, has a capacity of 150 chil- 

dren. These children come from 

many and varied backgrounds and 

are of all mces and creeds. They 

have one thing in common—for some 

reason it is impossible for their fam- 

ilies to caie for them during thc day. 

Thc case of little June D. is typical 

of the tiny students. JuncV mother 

and father arrived in San Francisco 

one year ago. Immediately after 

their arrival. June's mother became 

seriously ill and' was taken to the 

S. F. County Hospital. June's father 

was left to care for his two-year-old 

daughter. 

Unable to afford a baby-sitter, 

Mr. D. was forced to absent himself 

from work to look after June. Ho 

lost his job. Penniless and alone, un- 

able to buy food or pay for his hotel 

room, Mr. D. was lucky enough to 

find a friend in the hotel manager., 

The manager found Mr. D. a tcm- ; • 

por«-ry job as an auto mechanic and 

referred him to the day home. The 

Sisters agreed to accept June on ait 

emergency basis. 

When the little girl arrived shewas 

thin and frightened. Unused to mix- 

ing with other children her age, and 

not accustomed to being away from 

her parents, June's adjustment was 

difficult. But when she left the home 

five months ago, she was healthy, 

happy, and well-adjusted. She' was 

returning to a better home, which 

would provide her with the necessi- 

ties she had not had before. Her 

mother had regained her health and 

her father had a regular well-paid 

job. They are living happily, because 

of the day home. 

The success story of thc D. fam- 

ily has been and is being repeated 

every day. Running such a home, 

however, costs money. To meet 

these costs there arc two sources of 

income—thc fees pa:d by the par- 

ents and the Community Chest. But 

the parents pay only what they can 

afford, and in many cases that is 

nothing. With so many other chari- 

ties, the Community Chest donation 

must necessarily be small. - 

Because of these financial condi- 

tions, such luxuries as a much- 

needed record player are inacces- 

sible. 

December 5. the annual Lowell 

Christmas Drive, sponsored by the 

Shield and Scroll, came to a close." 

From the piocceds of almost "$5iJu' 

thc St. Francis Day Home will re- 

ceive its record player as well Canon 

Kip. Community Center, Sonoma 

State Hospital, and another agency 

to *be named by the Community 

Chest. 

In Sister CathlecnV own Words, 

"You will never know how much 

this means to us."

over and said to me, "Don't worry, 

my:young sprout, you won't always 

be cold and shivering. Someday 

someone will come and take you into 

his borne and dress you warmly in 

bright colors and you will be loved.** 

A* I grew older ant? taller I 

thought of these words. They seemed 

too wonderful to be "true, but I. never 

lost hope. - 

Then one day a young couple came 

to me. They looked me over and de- 

cided that they liked me. They took 

me home with them, but after having 

given me only a pair of wooden 

shoes, they left me alone. I was feel- 

ing very blue and lonely, indecd.Was 

this all they were going to give .me? 

Soon, however, they returned with 

many, many boxes filled with bright, 

warm "dressings." On the top of 

my pointed head they put a star. 

"Am I dead ami becoming an 

angel?" I questioned to myself. 

The young couple stood back to 

admire me and I glanced at my re- 

flection in the mirror. I could hardly 

•believe what I saw. There 1 was in 

all my splendor. Mother was right 

... I was finally a Christmas tree.

EDITORIALS 

Card File 

The fast depleting galaxy of Christmas cards that stock store 

shelves these days range from every conceivable humorous gim- 

mick for "fooling Yuling" to the most luxurious and sensitive 

cards to express a more serious wish during this season. 

Not only are the designs varied, but the sizes and shapes 

are, too. These range from the slim jim type which measures ap- 

proximately two feet in length by one inch in width to the ''mini- 

mum morsels" of one centimeter by two millimeters, suitable for 

small gift cards provided the gift is intended for a midget. 

Caught in the dilemma of trying to choose one of these "fleet- 

ing greetings" to send to our faithful readers, we decided to pick 

one of the more simple variety which is not necessarily intended 

to match the scope of our mentalities. 

Budget minded as we are, we must admit that we might have 

been somewhat influenced by the fact that these (left over from 

last year) were selling at 10 for a penny, but remember, it's not 

the cost but the thought that counts. 

It may be small and hard to read 

But Merrv Christmas is all vou need. 

Merry Christmas 

Where There's Smoke There's Fire 

Usually we are pleased with the articles we run in The Lowell, 

but in this case we are pleased with one that we didn't. 

We planned to print an editorial on the school smoking issue, 

but when it came time to paste up the paper (the process by which 

we select, place, and fit articles on the page), we found that space 

was at a premium: and hence decided that this editorial would 

"keep" and still be timely enough, for the next issue. Unfor- 

tunately it is more shockingly and horribly timely. 

Our original article was designed to point/out the reasons for 

the "No Smoking" rule in and around school. We felt that if we 

explained the laws of fire prevention more people would heed and 

observe the law. We even had an eye-catching opening sentence 

to capture your reading interest like: "We are not supporting the 

American Cancer Society in our plea for no smoking." 

There is no need for fancy phrases and/or words of warning 

now. We need only point to the human barbecue of the recent 

Chicago school fire which is believed to have been possibly caused 

by a partially "doused" cigarette. 

There are other reasons for the no smokin.g.xule, we feel sure, 

but none to us makes a more sensible explanation than the pre- 

servation of human life. ? 

Have Drill, Will Travel,/ 

HAVE DRILL, WILL TRAVEL should be the motto of the 

"Lowell lingerers" during fire drills. 

Ûnlike a piano recital, we are practicing for a debut which we 

hope we^hall never have to make, but in the event that there) 

should bv ^ fire, calmness and speed will prove-essential. 

You never can be sure when the belf rings -whether it's "just 

a drill" or the real thing. Treat them all like the real thing and 

you will always be around to wonder. 

The story of Mrs. Ô'Leary's cow which was supposed to have 

kicked over theJ?atern which started the great Chicago fire many 

years ago may be only a myth, but the more recent Chicago fire 

was not. 

In the Groove 

Usually being "in the groove" means that one is "hep" or on 

the right track, but in this case being "in the groove" has quite 

another meaning. 

-, We refer to the condition of the badly marred desks here at 

'Lowell. There is hardly one that doesn't bear the scars of some- 

one's active boredom and thoughtlessness. Egyptian hierogly- 

phics have nothing on some of these scrawlings. 

Besides being unsightlyand expensive to repair,these*damages 

are plain annoying. There you are racing with the clock to finish 

an exam when your pencil or pen completely disappears from view 

and vanishes into the "chasm of carving" labeled "John loves 

Mary." 

So don't get "in a rut" by being a "desk destroyer." You may 

find yourself someday writing on'.one of these" desks and your 

pen may s 1

f A Visit From St. Nicholas* 

Altered by Joan Vlorman 

'Twas the night before Christmas at Lowell High School, 

Where the pigeons were starving in spite of the Yule. 

In corridors papers were scattered sans care. 

In hopes thai the janitor soon would be there. 

The Lowcliitcs home, sleeping snug in their beds 

While visions of homework danced in their heads. 

And dear old Lowell, down to the last map, 

Had just settled its bricks for a long winter's nap. 

When out in the court there arose such a clatter, 

J. R.'s statue arose tc see what was the matter. 

From his pedestal James Russell leaped vnih a crash. 

Rushed to the window and lifted the sash. 

The moon, shining bright on the new-fallen fog. 

Gave to objects below the lustre of smog. 

When what to J. R/s wondering eyes should appear, 

But a miniature sleight and eight tiny reindeer. 

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 

He knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. 

More rapid than seagulls his coursers they came, 

And he whistled and shouted and called them by name; 

And up to the rr oftop the coursers they flew. 

The bricks they disturbed were only a few. 

When James drew in his head, and was turning around. 

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. 

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, 

And his clothes were all tarnished with brick, dust and soot. 

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth. 

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. 

"Pardon aie," J. R. said, with an effort at cheer, 

"I'm sorry, dear Santa. No smoking in here. 

The bricks might catch fire, although it is cold." 

"Ho ho," Santa laughed, "Now the walls are pure gold! 

The windows, once glass, now are diamonds of blue." 

J. R. looked around, and he saw it was true. 

James Russell said, "Thanks! You're so kind, Santa dear!" 

And Santa said, "Tut-tut. Yule's just once a year. 

I've brought even more for your high school today." 

He pulled great, huge packages out of his sleigh. 

New textbooks and paper for each Lowellitc! 

New garbage cans painted gold, silver, and white! 

New desks 1 Santa said, with, a cute little laugh, 

"I've brought Chef Boyardee to cook for the caP. 

Now the students won't say that the food tastes like git;!" 

"And here's/' Santa whispered, "a snack period, too!" 

Then, leaving more presents, he climbed in his sleigh, 

Gave a nod to his team, and they galloped away! 

But James heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of view: 

"Don't you really wish that all this were true?"

ROTC Has Notable History 

At Lowell High Since 1915 

Because many students have asked about the ROTC pragram, its operation 

jtnd advantages, the Lowell staff has decided to run a two-part series explaining 

these questions. The first article deals -with the history and background. The 

next one will tell about the advantages and opportunities, both present and 

future, of ROTC membership—Ed).

be judged in the areas of debate and 

extemporaneous talks. This meet 

will mark the end of the intramural 

competition which precedes the dis- 

trict qualifying tournament. 

Guardsman . . . 


The hall guard is a strange crea- 

ture. He is little recognized, not very 

highly credited, and. very obvious 

to the lunchtime hall-walkers.r 

The strong..hall guard possesses 

many good characteristics: strength 

of character, will power, and toler- 

ance. Tolerance is extremely impor- ;, 

tant in taking on the responsibility - 

of keeping the halls clean and quiet. 

The things some hall guards have to 

tolerate are fantastic. For instance, 

the hall guard almost gets an ulcer 

staying pleasant and courteous with 

belligerent passers-by. There are 

problems with flirts and charmers, 

trying to swee t -talk their way 

through the door without having a 

pass. Of course, | there's the sob- 

sister who's justdjet- tc sctrtc-hcr.i

forgot her geometry book and will 

flunk her geometVy test without it. 

Last but not'ieast is the little dear 

who streaks through the door and 

vanishes so fast that one isn't sure • 

she was really there. 

There are two sides to the story, 

of course. There are some very surly 

guards who wouldn't hesitate knock- 

ing ones' block; off at the tick of a 

clock. Some couldn't care less if 

everyone drewpictures on the corri- 

dor walls and some, but only a few, 

feeling that they are slightly privi-

'Uncle'Relates Rugby 

Start of Acting Career 

"When I was a rugby player, I 

used to pantomime the players after 

the game." This is • the way that 

Jacques Tati, currently starring in 

the movie, "My Uncle," described 

the beginning of his career to Lowell 

reporter, Margie Morgenroth, in a 

press interview held recently at the 

St. Francis Hotle. 

The six foot tall, slightly graying 

Tati was described as having a most 

pleasing personality and an espe- 

cially subtle smile. 

The French comedian has gained 

praise and distinction not only 

through his acting, but through his 

writing and production as well. He 

stars in many of his own pictures. 

One of his most popular v/as "Mr. 

HulotV Holiday," which many read- 

ers have undoubtedly seen. Mr. or 

rather Monsieur Tati explained that 

he uses color to buns out certain 

•points of mood ;n his movies. He 

also does not employ the help of 

professional actors and. actresses— 

that is, if thfi desired role calls for 

a street sweeper, Tati goes out and 

finds a real, honest to goodness 

street sweeper. 

"My Uncle," which still can be 

seen in San Francisco, is the story of 

a young boy who lives in an ultra- 

modern home with his parents. His 

-uncle is portrayed by Tati. Together, 

the uncle and the boy are always 

happy especially when the boy goes 

to his uncle's house in a dilapidated 

section of Paris. The picture alter- 

" nates between these: two opposite 

settings and the experiences of this 

duo arc hilarious and highly enter- 

taining. " 

if r. Tati believes that his pictures 

are for the*.world and indeed they 

are. I As a light comedy satirizing 

modern times, "My Uncle" is a must 

on all moviegoers' lists. .

BOB GREMMINGER 

"Battalion, attention!" 

These words and many other com- 

mands fill the air of the panhandle 

m the park every Wednesday. Who 

is the stern, very military sounding 

ROTC cadet major who shouts 

these orders at everyone of Lowell's 

cadets? None other than George 

Grady, Lowell's R.O.T.C. battalion 

commander. 

George's classmates, who have 

never seen him on the drill field, 

know him as a quiet, easy going sort 

of student. His main interest in life 

is reading historical war novels and 

his love ior reading is reflected in 

the high grade average which he 

maintains. 

When asked the advantages of the 

R.O.T.C. program, the former A.P. 

Gianini junior higli school student 

quickly responded, "You learn self- 

discipline and gain confidence in 

yourself when you face a new situa- 

tion and can handle certain responsi- 

bilities that each cadet must face." 

He also added the recommendation 

that each high school boy should take 

at least one year of the'course in 

preparation for his military obliga- 

tion. Upon graduation next June, 

George plans to join the army and 

make a career of it.

Brief History of the Reserve Officers 

Training Corps 

The KOTC was originated in 1819. 

In that year Captain Alden Part- 

ridge founded the American Liter- 

ary, Scientific and Military Academy 

at Northficid, Vermont. His aims 

were "to fit young men for their du- 

ties as citizens." 

Between 1819 and the Civil War 

many new colleges and schools fea- 

turing military training were found- 

ed. During the post-Civil War period 

several slates and territories took 

advantage of a congressional act 

which granted permission to estab- 

lish stale Universities aim agricul- 

tural colleges. At each Military Sci- 

ence and Tactics formed a part of 

the curriculum. Since passage in 1920 

of amendments to the National De- 

fense Act, the ROTC has been the 

most consistent producer cf officers 

for the Organized Reserve Covps. 

Joseph P. Nourse, Superintendent 

of San Fk-ancisco Schools from 1936 

to 1943, is credited with the organi- 

zation of the ROTC in the San Fran- 

cisco High Schools. His interest in 

military training had been strong 

from the time he chose Stanford 

University instead of West Point. 

Mr. Xourse organized the 7-owell 

unit of high school cadets in 1915 and 

later was invited to command the en- 

tire San Francisco organization of 

cadets. 

During the past ten years, some 

\\welve thousand high school stu- 

dents have, received ROTC training 

m.thc high schools of the San Fran- 

; cfsco Unified School District. 

What does ROTC Strive to 

Accomplish? 

Too often it is thought, errone- 

ously, that the ROTC training 

sists entirely of drill. Drill being the 

only activity people see, it is quite 

naturally this conclusion is reached. 

It is far from correct. The course 

includes such classroom subjects as 

Reading and Interpretation of Aerial 

Maps and Aerial Photographs, Hy- 

giene and First Aid, Rifle Marks- 

manship, Teaching Methods, and 

Practical Leadership. - 

Contrary to another erroneous but 

widely held belief, enrollment in the 

Reserve Officers Training Corps cre- 

ates no obligation or responsibility 

to the ArmV. It is a regular high 

school subject taken during regular 

school hours. 

The mission of the ROTC is to 

assist in the development of the 

young student as a,-j[est!fr. The mili- 

tary aspects are mercly-raoans to an 

end. True, all the qualUic-f.of a good 

citizen ire primary requisites in an 

officer of the Armed Forces. This 

training will be of benefit to the 

student in whatever profession he 

chooses. Mainly, such training will 

help him prepare to discharge his du- 

ties as a citizen and to awaken in 

him an appreciation of the obliga- 

tions of citizenship. In this aim the 

ROTC works hand in hand with the 

other departments.^

".•;"; Sally Hurff, what happened after the Varieties at Mel's Who 

was crushing grapes in the court to make wine?'.. .Since Lowell students 

are known for their scholastic abilities maybe someone could come up with 

an answer to vanotis equations that have been given to me. The equations 

arc SR plus MS equals CB-SS; BdM plus MM-BW equals PO3OB; VN 

Plus BP equalls ppppp; KG (CG) equals minus SK; GN plus PP equals 

S at GE's; LW—DH equals TS. There arc many possible answers to these 

and^many more problems facing the world today so for an up-to-date re- 

port make sure you tune m to the next edition. Thanky.

in rm. 133. Do the (reshmen need an engraved invitation? 

pass after a long coaxing. Tliii is 

very likely to cause friction and mar 

a good friendship. If your friend us 

really a friend, he won't take advan- 

tage of your comradeship. 

The name "hall guard" might be 

a slight misnomer since the halls are 

not likely to be stolen, and hence do 

not need guarding; but as for the 

students—well, no one, not even the 

hall guards, can predict their whims.
