THE SENIOR RAILSPLITTER Lincoln Victories For the last semester several students have worked to bring fame to Abraham Lincoln High school. The art department ex- hibited a group of scarf designs in the art room of the city library. Lincoln ' s oratorical team won first place in the city contest, the school being represented by Simon Casady and Donald Harris. The famed glider which was built by Richard Frazee and Roger Cook received its identification number from the Aero- nautics department, Washington, D. C, was another outstanding surprise of the year. Five Railsplitter penpushers won distinction in the Interna- tional Quill and Scroll contest. Paul Meagher climaxed the rec- ognition by submitting a sports story and having it judged one of the five best in the West Central states. The others, staff writers, were : Margaret Young, who placed in column writing, being the only one representing Iowa; Lorin Geil submitted published editorials and was the only representative of Des Moines. Margaret Glassburn for correct newspaper terms and Virginia Wicr for headline writing were the only two students in Des Moines to receive honorable mention in these groups. In the Abraham Lincoln High school Scribblers club which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays 42 won card awards which is the highest award for a local group. The Scribblers are now mem- bers of the National Good Handwriting C lub of America. And still another achievement this semester is the affiliating of the Lincoln High La Curie Science club with the Junior Acad- emy of Science of Iowa. Probablv the latest event in which Lincolnites participated and have won was the Tribune Yo Yo contest. William McNamara. pre- junior student, won $5.00, and Dale Tucker, a 10A student, won $2.50. . . . . RAY DODGK . CHEVROLET CO., INC. New and Used Cars 1312-16 Locust St. 4-3115 CHAR LI :S A.
