"I have seen all the football games that Lowell High has played since the first day I went out for the team as a scared sophomore. Besides the games that I actually played in, I have played in all the rest of them, right up through last season-undefeated, state champs, as you say. Yes, I have played in all the rest of them. My ghost has been in that Lowell High backfield for lo these many years." ~ Jack Kerouac in 1968 (clipping from the October 10, 1938 LOWELL SUN)
