FOOTBALL What a season for the Railsplittersl And there's reason aplenty for such a comment this semester. The Lynx team won five games, tied two, and lost only one- and that to a strong East high eleven, 25-6. The Railsplitters were victorious over Chariton, Roosevelt, Knoxville. Winterset, and Indianola, and were held to a scoreless tie by Pella and North. The 7-6 victory over Roosevelt will be a long remembered triumph, its being the first such record in the historv of Lincoln. Abe's boys tied for second place in the city series, and took second in the South Central conference with a percentage of 991. Senior lettermen on this year's squad are Capt. Bob Gillam, Cliff Anderson, A1 Beck, Bob Karnes, Jim Sheraden, Bill Park, Biggie Gil-lotti, Joe Uhlman, Bill Banghart, Bob Bagg, Mike Scione, Marion La-Brash, Dewey Roland, Nick Calacino, Eugene Morris, and Bill Rum-baugh.

Members of the social dancing group have pioneered beyond the dance floor, and set a record by being the first social dancers to be photographed for publication in the Senior Railsplitter. Ushers Lincoln's ushers work by day and often by night. They are the guardian angels of school funds at doors and gates and windows. They take activity books, receive money, and sell tickets. And not the least of their job is piloting auditorium guests to a safe and happy landing!

CHEERLEADERS A bevy of pretty girls resplendent in maroon sweaters and gold scarves; four senior cheer leaders with jaunty caps billed back, and lusty cries of Rah! Rahl Rah! Railsplitters! brought surging to the hearts of all loyal Lincolnites, pride in their school and faith in their teams. In planning pep assemblies and presenting victory skits, girl pep captains and four junior cheer leaders took an active part. In the auditorium, at the stadium, on the basketball court, the pep squad and cheerleaders carry on with that fire and spirit which typifies Lincoln at play.
