The Senior Railsplitter ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL Our Last Song Together (Sung to A Perfect Day — Carrie Jacobs-Bond) When we come to the end of our high school days And we find ' tis time that we part. Though zve go to live in our many ways, These years linger in every heart; Yet we feel very sad when we say adieu To friends and to teachers true, For our souls are dull though our lives arc neiv As we journey azvay from you. Though our eyes may be bright as we seek our fate — Though we view the future with tears — lf T c must thank our school as we graduate For all that it ' s done in past years. So we give our farewell to Maroon and Gold, The symbol of Lincoln High, Tor ' tis in new work that we are enrolled And zv e now must say goodbye. IT hen we have much hope and have visions, too, When our minds fill with pleasant thoughts Of the years ivc spent zealously with you — When the gate of success unlocks. Our thoughts will forever retain you near — Our hearts will have naught to fear — .v we pass from the halls of old Lincoln dear To new fields that may soon appear.

It was conceived by Lincoln ' s first graduating class in January, 1927. No other school in the country, to our knowledge, has this permanent senior day in its calendar. The Tercenten- ary history of Abraham Lincoln High School, says of Lincoln ' s International Day history: As Lincoln High School began to reveal character and personality of its own, the students noted the con- trasting types of the several nationalities that entered our ' Hall of Learning. ' So it happened, at the sugges- tion of Delia Mae Arnold, that the first graduating class of Lincoln High School inaugurated International Day in this city.

DES MOINES, IOWA JUNE, 1935 The Senior Railsplitter The June 1935 Class History By Jessie P. A. Andersen The senior graduating class entered its high sch(x l life in June, 1 ( 32. In the ninth grade there were 204 students. There are 99 finishing today, this course of four years of hard work, coupled with unparalleled joy. The class, through the aid of willing instructors, is leaving the doors of Lincoln with high honors. Those who have had the courage to finish are indeed proud of their records, which are their foundation. In the course of the class activities at Lincoln, out- standing athletes have been produced. We all remem- ber Stuart Geil when basketball is mentioned, as he made the all-city team. Maurice Graziano, whose outstanding work has caused him to become the talk of basketball fans, also is recognized as well as Michael Graziano, and Robert Burgess. Football ! What is the first name to reach your ears ? Of course, Robert Scharnweber. Other footballers, however, include: Christy Armstrong, Rol ert Burgess, Maurice Graziano, Loran Harris, Nile Oldham, and Robert Tillotson. Spring ! Baseball ! Robert Tillotson ! Quite a com- bination! We also have Michael Graziano, Maurice Graziano and Nile Oldham to represent us in baseball. You have undoubtedly heard of William Downey ' s swimming and track record, and also of Ellis Sheldon ' s brilliant track record. But there are no June graduating boys on this year ' s tennis team. The girls claiming these honors are Jessie Andersen and Ruth Wenger. Several all-around girl athletes are in the June grad- uating class : Jessie Andersen, Mary Fini, Helen Glew and Ruth Wenger, representing Girls ' Athletic Asso- ciation. Musicians? Unnumbered! Lester Bissinger ' s flute, reached the city contest. We have Richard Christian, with his French horn; Grace Coburn, with her flute; Robert Frank, the unsurpassed drummer ; Raymond Galenbeck with his French horn, and Raymond Gar- lick, the prominent bass player. Elgin Flite, that great big, tall man, plays the French horn and Mary Hollingsworth, the excellent clarinet player, deserves recognition. Alfred King, the German band guide, makes the baritone sing. ' ' The Laughing Trombone is the title deserved by Eva Jo Mason and her instrument. In the orchestra we have Albert Graziano, the violinist, who touches the heart strings of many girls. Other artists of this great class who excel include Glenn Kllenwood, whose name you see appearing on so many posters that hanjg in the Lincoln lialls, entered a A. I.
