Dear Ken, I looked for Waters at 99% of the names in the 36 Lowell HS with
a jeweler's loop!!! I couldn't come up with him. It became extremely
clear that one class graduates in December and one class graduates in June.
For example, I see "high three class" as December, 1937 and "Low three
class" as June 38. That makes my father and "high four class" of 1936 and
your father either high or low four class of 37.
Carol Channing is not mentioned as graduating in High Four Class of 36 with
my father, so she likely graduated in June of 36. She has a big picture
like he does, but she is not on the same class roster. (The tennis team is
all female. I did not scrutinize was the ROTC because I felt most of them
went to World War II.)
I saw talk of these yearbooks at the SF Library. Perhaps someone could look
up both classes of 37 for you?!
I really tried hard. The class roster list would tell them in a hurry if
your father were in it.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Loberg
