Ground for this building was broken on AlJl'2llI2llll Lincoln's last living' biritliday. In it are found the science, music, and business fl01J2ll'llllG1l'fS. 7fne ' 8 ' , pictured to the right, stands aniong the stately trees of L. Cfs campus, and houses the offices, the spacious library, and the liberal arts classrooms. f fqna: fave, otherwise known as the col- lege gYlll1l!lSlll1ll, has been the scene of many college affairs, social and athletic.- Instead of the usual Friday night dances, students decided to try sonietlling new this year and planned for active evenings of sports, which would include ping-pong, shuffleboard, volley ball, basketball, and tumbling in the gym. The first sports night, held November 18, proved to be a great success, and other sports nights followed. In February, the freshmen challenged the sophomores to a competitive evening of games in which the sophomores proved to be the win- i 1 , ' 4 . f ' Q - nr - ...- ners. According to the rules, the freslnnen entertained the sophomores at a St. Pat.rick's Day party' at Harts House in March. An all-school party and sports night con- cluded the school's social activities on April 19. This party included a weiner roast, lielll after an exciting baseball game. All these activities took place in Lynx Lair, shown above. - BY Tunnel: z - ' f ii: x ,X X' o Hurts House, residence hall for young women students of Lincoln, has been the Center of many of the college social affairs. Jfafzii .facade Hai-ts House was officially opened when we girls moved in with our luggage and, inci- dentally, with our hoy friends' pictures. It 4lidn't take long for us to get acquainted with our lien' rooms and roommates, who, when all was said and done, were found to he Marilyn Atteherry, Phyllis Mantis, sophomoresg Flor: ence Hardin, Geno Keltner, Mary Ellen Langan, Mary lone Seeher, Marjorie Schlots, and Mary Nell Hawes, freshmen. Our first party intro: duced us to the rest of the freshman class. Some of the first things we learned to do in our college careers Were to short-sheet beds, to beat the time dead-line, to learn and abide hy dorm rules, and to fix super-spreads. Geno, Marjorie, Mary Nell, and Mary Ione chose weekends during the year when they en- tertained the other dorm girls i11 their homes. Each time one of our fellow men students re- ceived his call to one of the services, we enter- tained him at dinner in the dorm. 'When Bill llusch left, we had a dinner at the Hotel Lin- coln, but Mary Nell stole the show that evening hy announcing her marriage to Bus. Our last hig fling was tl combination picnic which in- cluded the fellows of Murphy's Dorm and the Harts House girls. As the year progressed, everyone learned everyone else's troubles. At times, we had our ins and outs and our Hups and downs, but through them all we've remained friends, and we have truly learned the meaning of living happily together. All in all, not one of the girls would give up her dorm experiences, and we have chalked this up as a successful year indeed. - BY SEEBER -me emu., By far tl1e busiest man 011 tl1e Lincol11 Col- lege ca111pus is Dr. lVillian1 D. Copeland, presi- dent of Lincoln College a11d English literature instructor. Dr. Copeland has been very active in helping organize tl1e 11ew Lincoln Study Class and in C0llt3Cl.lI1Q,' people for gifts for the Li11- col11 Room. Because of his interest in :VO11llg' people a11d because of his fi11e spirit of coopera- tio11, this year has been made one of tl1e 111ost outstanding i11 tl1e history of L. C. A person wl1o is usually hard to find around tl1e college is Miss Elvira Hoepfner, who 11ow has the job of Director of Public Be- latio11s. However, she finds ti111e to put out tl1e Lincoln College Alumni Bulletin and to super- vise the Iifincolvfziafn. She is also responsible for many of tl1e activities 3l'OLlIlCl the college. Our Registrar Rlld Head of the Business Department is Harry L. Sprague. Between n1aki11g out transcripts of grades and teaching l1is lllally classes, Mr. Sprague fi11ds time to read tl1e best sellers. Mrs. C. A. Balof is our Dean of XVOHIGH, as well as our English and history instructor. This year, sl1e is teacher of tl1e new Lincoln History Class. Benjamin C. Moore is instructor of educa- tion at the college. Proof that l1is pointers on teaching have been good is shown by the num- ber of l1is students teaching in Logan county schools. Miss Josephine Hardy teaches foreign lan- guages at Lincoln College. Her quiet, shy man- ner 1ll3kQS l1er liked by all the students. Behind Clarence A. Balof's name one will find the titles Business Manager, Math and Science Instructor, a11d Coach. He is a very in1portant man around school, si11ee, as a part of his duties, he Hholds the purse strings. Two people who provide all tl1e music for Lincoln College are Mr. and Max Miranda. High-lighting the choir's activity of the year is the annual Christmas Vesper program, which is under the direction of tl1e Mirandas. Tl1e Reverend Daniel E. Kerr teaches courses in religious education, and he is also the college Chaplain. His interesting weekly chapel addresses have won him the friendship of all the students. Mrs. Minnie Houser has been the librarian at the college for many years. She loves to work with books, and this year, the new Lin- coln Lihrary and class have kept her very busy. Considering its size, Lincoln College is ex- ceptionally well-staffed with excellent instruc- tors i11 its many fields of study. - BY G.AYLE and TURNER Left to Right-Seated: Mrs. C. A.

Q -.I '7!w S Because so many of our number were called to the services, our sophomore class this year is one of the smallest in the history of Lincoln College. Being small has, however, proven an advantage, and this year has been made one which will long remain in all of our memories. We sophomores began our year by electing officers in our first class meeting. To lead us we chose Helen Twomey. presidentg Roberta Gayle, vice-president: Jane Turner. sec- retaryg and Marilyn Atteberry, treasurer. Miss Elvira Hoepf- ner was elected class adviser. We became acquainted with our lower classmen through an impromptu program of entertainment at the first assem- bly period, in which many of our sophomores took part. Helen Baker was given two high honors when she was elected president of the Student Council and when she was chosen Harvest Queen, Cooperating with the leaders, the sophomores took part in the all-school masquerade, Doggy Day, Clean-Up Day, Spiritual Emphasis Week, High School Day, the Gold Dig- gers' Fling, numerous sports nights, and Activities Day, They also took charge of initiation of freshmen and saw to it that the freshmen paid the penalty for defying the tradi- tion of the sophomore bench and for breaking the rules of the wearing of green caps. Although the sophomores were unsuccessful in planting the fruit cake this year, they were successful in disappearing with the freshmen party refresh- ments for the entire student body, as well as in having the only lone class party of the year. Following tradition, the sophomores held their class ban- quet at the Hotel Lincoln on the evening of May 12. Miss Elvira Hoepfner, class adviser, and President and Mrs. Wil- liam D. Copeland were guests. With the baccalaureate services on May 14, followed by a buffet luncheon for graduates at the home of the President and his wife, and graduation exercises on May 15, the soph- omores draw their year to a close. Although the sophomores are happy to have completed two years of their college edu- cation, they look forward to graduation with heavy hearts: for they know that these two years spent at Lincoln College are irreplaceable and soon will remain only as memories. Pictured on the opposite page are the members of the sophomore class. Be- ginning at the top, and reading from left to right, we shall name them and shall give you a bit of their history. ROBERTA GAYLE Berta was an associate editor of the LINCOLNIAN, vice-president of Foreign Relations Club, and secretary-treasurer of A. W. L. C. in her freshman year. This year she has been. co-editor of the LIN- COLNIAN and treasurer of E. K. Ro- berta's essay on the Lineage and Childhood of Abraham Lincoln was published in the LINCOLN STUDY CLASS GAZE'I'TE as winner in the first Lincoln essay contest. Berta says, In ten years I'll be teaching-I hope. JEAN SHEPLER Bunky says that ten years from now she wants to be taking a week-end trip to England. Jean came to Lincoln College this year from MacMurray College in Jackson- ville. She is well known as the artist and bridge player of the sophomore class. She has been art editor for the LINCOLNIAN, a member of the Stu- dent Council, and secretary of the For- eign Relations Club. PHYLLIS MANUS Phil is one of the two sophomores at the dorm, and, incidentally, she favors the Navy Air Corps. In ten years she hopes to be married, and our guess would be that she means to a former student of L. C. Phyllis is secretary of A. W. L. C. this year and is a member of E. K. MARILYN ATTEBERRY Lyn in- tends to be doing the least possible ten years from now. However, this year Marilyn, along with Phyllis, is helping to hold the sophomores' stand MedZlw3 at Harts House. Last year Marilyn was secretary-treasurer at the dorm. This year she has been a member of Eikosi Korai and president of the As- sociated Women. JANE TURNER Jamey states that ten years from now she will be re- cuperating from giving a book review. She was associate editor of the LIN- COLNIAN, vice-president of A. W. L. C., and vice-president of the class. This year she is co-editor of the LINCOLN- IAN, corresponding secretary of E. K., secretary of the class, treasurer of the Associated Women, and secretary of the Student Council. Jane has also been a member of the Foreign Rela- tions Club and last year won the P. E. O. prize for her essay on the sub- ject, What College Can Do For Me. HELEN TWOMEY, better known as Bill, hopes to be producing the great- est plays on Broadway in ten years. This year Bill has been president of Eikosi Korai, treasurer of the Student Council, and president of the class. She has also been a member of the For- eign Relations Club. HELEN BAKER Sweety says, Ten years from now I want to be washing my airplane. Helen is the sophomore gal who can really sew. If you don't believe it, take a look at that black formal. Last year Helen was secretary of the freshman class. This year she has been vice-president of E. K. and president of the Student Council. Helen was also chosen Harvest Queen by popular vote of the student body. HELEN FISHER Fish says that ten years from now she will not be teach- ing schoolf' Helen has been secretary d of E. K. and vice-president of the For- eign Relations Club this year. She is the only sophomore planning to go di- rectly into the field of teaching. GEORGE SMITH Skippy, as George is known, wants to go into the chicken business, so ten years from now he'll probably be running a chick- en farm. Skippy is the only fellow in the sophomore classg thus he has won the title of the sophomores' man. Last year George sang in the choir and was freshman debater on Activi- ties Day. George has been a member of the Foreign Relations Club both years, and during his freshman year he was treasurer of the organization. George is also well-known for his ser- enading. MELVA JENSEN came all the way from Grantsburg, Wisconsin, to attend Lincoln College. Melva was a straight A student last year and won first place in the McKinley prizes awarded to the outstanding student in the busi- ness department. Each year Time magazine sponsors a current affairs test, and both this year and last year Melva attained the highest score in the class. MISS ELVIRA HOEPFNER, some- times known as Elvyra, the Director of Public Relations, says she will prob- ably still be rubbing Sloan's liniment on her sinuses ten years from now. As sophomore class adviser she became one of us. We all enjoyed cramming into her car for whatever adventures might be in store-and there were plenty! - BY FISHER We, the members of the Sophomore Class of Lincoln College, Lincoln, Lo- gan County, Illinois, in this year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred forty- four, realizing our unique and out- standing gifts to give, do hereby sub- mit this, our last Will and Testament, to whom it may concern, as a final testimony of our undying loyalty to our Alma Mater: 'if 2? it To Dr. William D. Copeland, our President, we will our appreciation for the help and consideration he has given us, and for our enlarged vocabularies. To Mr. Harry L. Sprague. we be- queath visions of a future account- ing class, filled with the Melva-Jensen- type student, who will never come to class without lessons prepared. To Miss Josephine Hardy, we will memories of an active Foreign Rela- tions Club . . . and appreciation for the Spanish music we heard on records. To Miss Elvira Hoepfner, we be- queath our appreciation for the inter- est she has shown in our class . . . and gratitude for the many kind things she has done for us. To Mrs. Minnie Houser, we will memories of a busy Lincoln History Class . . . and our appreciation for helping the students hunt outside read- ing books. To Mrs. C. A. Balof, we bequeath our appreciation for her interest in all the students and for her helpful coun- seling . . . and memories of a bril- liant U. S. history class. To Mr. Max Miranda, we will mem- ories of the E. K. radio going full blast at the time of a private lesson. By Tommy The Cat Daniels Travis Hardin just ambled up to the campus with the mail which included a miniature post card treduced to meet O. P. A. requirements to conserve paperl from Jean Shepleur, famous scalptorist who has just finished a bust of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the present President, now in the middle of his sixth term. Jean mentioned just having had a banguer hair style at Phyllis Manus's Suave Beaute Salon on Fifth Avenue, where she entertains her elite clients with an unusual barber shop quartet. Incidentally, Phil got her start on Ac- tivities Day in 1944, when she sung Genevieve, Sweet Genevieve. Another of Phil's patrons is Melva Jensen, New York model and Holly- wood star. I-Icr current hits are afl- vertised in everything from Vogue to Prairie Farmer. Melva's hair is pic- tured in Halo ads, and her curves are figured in Form Fit news. All three of these notable gals have been to the Ringling Brothers, Barnum, and Bailey Circus. now showing at Elm Wi!! To Mr. Benjamin Moore, we will our large class of practice teachers, who, due to his capable instruction, were able to pass the State Teachers' exams with banners flying. To Mrs. Max Miranda, we bequeath memories of an active, non-cutting choir, who could really sing the Amen To Mr. C. A. Balof, we will mem- ories of a class that was always in his office asking for a party . . . and appreciation for the cooperation he has shown. To George Daniels, we bequeath memories of a sophomore class that couldn't get along without him. To the Freshman Class, we will our ability for removing strays from the sophomore bench, our class solidarity, our kindness and consideration of oth- ers, and our spirit of One for all . . . and all for Lincoln College . . . along with our good will and memories of happy associations with them. And to Lincoln College, we will our never-ending support and loyalty. PERSONAL BEQUESTS I, Marilyn Atteberry, bequeath my ability to reduce without the use of Ry Krisps, and my hearty laughter. to Marjorie Schlots and Bonita Gra- ham. tQuiet, pleasell I, Helen Baker, bequeath my wit and humor, plus my technique of going steady, to one of the Murphy boys, Bill Howell. I, Helen Fisher, bequeath my love for long walks to eight o'clocks to Rose Mary Peifer. Oh, for the days 654440 Madison Square Garden in New York. George Smith is the special attraction. He's a snake charmer, and the young ladies say that he charms more than snakes. Remember how the dames fought over him when he was the only sophomore man? Neither George nor Helen Fisher stayed in the teaching profession very long. Haven't you heard about Helen's sad plight? The way I get it, Helen slung a kid in a water trough and didn't hang around to hear the racket. Now she's a fugitive from justice, and rumor has it that she's selling bananas in a French settlement in South America. After all her Spanish! When Helen fled, the board of di- rectors was left high and dry and had to find another Helen to fill in. Helen Baker, being the only available Helen and a town loafer to boot tShe owns controlling stock in the Sherman Shop, but she doesn't do much controllingj, was hired on sight. I heard that even the first graders have to take general science out of a test tube. When I was out on the campus with George yesterday, Jane Turner walked when the shoe leather was good! I, Roberta Gayle, bequeath my abil- ity to write Lincoln essays and look up foot notes to Marie Comstock and Mary Ellen Langan. I'll keep my fan mail, thank you. I, Melva Jensen, bequeath my abil- ity to win current affairs prizes to Jim Graff and Margaret Coogan. May the globe you win help you plan your travels. I, Phyllis Manus, bequeath my quiet disposition to Geno Keltner. May she make use of it. I, Jean Shepler, bequeath to Flossie Hardin, my ability to add the artistic touch to any line. I, George Smith, bequeath to Bill Johnson, my way with women and my serenading popularity. I, Jane Turner, bequeath my ability to tell moron jokes and my armed force correspondence to Mary Ione Seeber. Don't forget to add the SWAK. I, Helen Twomey, bequeath my ac- tivity in student functions to Marvin Caldwell and Rose Mary Peifer. Keep the spirit going. It It S We, the Members of the Sophomore Class, do declare this to be a true state- ment of our desires, and have on this 12th day of May, 1944, filed this, our last Will and Testament, among the relics in the archives of Lincoln Col- lege. Signed: THE SOPHOMORES Witnessed: THE 1944 WHANGDOODLE TOMMY, THE CAT by on her way to work at the Lincoln China Factory. She makes glue to put together the broken pieces. Jane was always good at those little mending and patching deals, but I guess I'd better quit making cracks. Anyhow, she naturally had the latest dope on Roberta Gayle. Wouldn't you know she'd end up as a singer at the New Purple Gardens, just south of town? Roberta has companionship out that way, 'cause Marilyn Atteberry got tired of counting eggs and picked a chicken. Now she has a little brood of her own. Jane and Berta just had a call from Helen Twomey, president of the At- lanta W. C. T. U., who recently re- turned from San Francisco, where she took inventory of the different flavors of unlabeled, wine in Jap ships. You might know that Helen would be do- ing her bit for humanity. Well, now let's see-I guess that's all the gossip I have about the Class of '44, I'd better scamper off and see about that bowl of milk which George just set out for me. Bye for now! - 7!ze afaedfzmen llndaunted by its size, the freshman class has had a most exciting year, one which will never be forgotten by any of its members. The first activity of the year was the election of officers. Marvin t'aldwell was chosen presi- dentg Mary Ellen Langan, vice-presidentg Cath- erine Harmsen, secretary, Marjorie Schlots, treasurer: and Mrs. C. A. Balof, adviser. As soon as classes began, the sophomores ordered the freslnnen to buy and to wear green caps. Following a great deal of healthy rivalry, the frosh finally decided to be good sports, and they wore their freshman caps until their initia- tion on Doggy Day. On this day they paid pen- alties for their misdeeds and were baptized with a mixture of vinegar and flour to become full- fledged students of Lincoln College. In a competitive sports night event, the freshmen lost to the sophomores and set out to provide a party for the upper olassmen. Early in the evening the freshies secured the prize sophomore fruit cake and attained the honor of being the first freslnnan class in history to eat the fruit cake before it was buried. On Hag and Jeep Day, the frosh came to school looking, literally, like hags and jeeps, but they gathered up their talent to provide a varied program to the sophomores during the assembly period. One member of the freslnnan class, Bill llowell attained the honor of being crowned 7 . King of the Gold Diggers' Fling. 1. Six girls were initiated i11to Flikosi Korai, and two others became pledges of this sorority. Three freshman boys left their studies when 'Uncle Sam called-Dean Rademaker to the Coast Guard, Donald Awe to the Army, and Bill Busch to the Naval Air Corps. Mary Nell Hawes departed shortly after the beginning of the second semester to be mar- ried, and Dorothy Goff, liavera Hohlfs, and Uatherine Harmsen left school before the see- ond semester began. In all school activities the freshmen have co-operated splendidlyg and as they leave L. C. this year, they look forward to the coming year, determined to make it as successful as was the one just concluded. -RY VPFIFFI' T 1 1 A Left to Right-First row seated: Bill Howell, Florence Hardin, Doris Gehlbach, Geno Keltner, Mary Ellen Langan.

At this gathering, the prin- ciples and rules of Eikosi Korai were explained so that non-members could be working toward membership. The annual alumni potluck dinner was held on November 5, in the club room, with thirty- 'four girls present. Formal initiation was held on November 19, at Harts House. In this meet- ing Marilyn Atteberry, Melva Jensen, and Phyl- lis Manus were made members. On Tuesday, December 14, the club enter- tained first grade children with a Christmas party, in which, much to the delight of the visi- tors, Santa Claus appeared and presented each child with a toy, a useful gift, and candy and fruit. The Christmas tea for mothers of all Lin- coln College students was held on December 33. Here E. K. girls worked with women of A. XY. L. C., and all served as llostesses. A formal dinner was held in the Old English Room of the Hotel Lincoln on Monday, Febru- ary 21, at 6:30 in the evening. Following the dinner, the girls attended the duo-piano concert presented by Mrs. R. H. Milligan and Mrs. Adams, of St. Louis, in the college chapel. On February 22, Mrs. Clare Eldorado spoke to the E. K. girls of her experiences in South Africa and England. The second formal initiation of members took place on March 3, when Rose Mary Peifer, Doris Gehlbach, and Mary Ellen Langan were taken into the sorority. Cn April 26, the second service flag was dedicated. The last initiation of the year was held on April 27, at Harts House. At this meeting Mary lone Seeber, Margaret Coogan, and Marie Com- stock were made members. Officers for next year have been selected, and this, the most attractive organization on the L. C. campus, will next year be under the guidance of the following leaders: President, Rose Mary Peiferg vice-president, Doris Gehl- bachg secreta.ry, Mary Ellen Langang treasurer, Mary Ione Seeberg corresponding secretary, Margaret Coogan. 4 ' fl aiiawidlud The Foreign Relations Club of Lincoln Vollege is made up of students who are enrolled in one or more of the langiiage classes during- the year. This is another of the active groups holding meetings regularly throughout the year. At the first meeting' of the club, the follow- ing- officers were elected: president, Bonita Grahanig vice-president, Helen Fisher, secre- tary-treasurer, .lean Sheplerg and the adviser, Miss Josephine Hardy. The club meetings were held on every sec- ond and fourth Thursday of the month. During the latter part of November and the first part of December, several members gave brief suin- niaries of the speeches given by the speakers on the Institute of International Understanding- being' held at the Dolleg-e and sponsored by the Rotary Club. Because the speeches given in this series dealt chiefly with our relationships with other countries of the world, they made excellent topics for discussion in the Foreign Relations tllub meetings. The high-spot of the month of December was the Christmas party which was held at 12:00 noon on December 16. This was in the form of a noon luncheon with entertainment following. U At the last two meetings of the club, held April 6 and 27, Hardy told the group about her trip abroad before the First VVorld XVar, describing' the countries visited, the peo- ple, and types of entertainment found there. The yearts activities of the club were cul- minated with a pienie which was held on May 4. - BY GRAHAM Left to Right-First row: Jane Turner, Helen Twomey, Helen Fisher, Jean Shepler, Mary Ellen Langan.

Zfze King ana! .Queen Each year, Lincoln College confers the honor of placing upon the heads of one of its young men and young Women, the crowns and titles of King and Queen of Lincoln Col- lege. This year, tradition was defied, and the queen was crowned at a newly instituted Har- vest Dance in place of the regular May Festivalg and the King was crowned at the regular Gold Diggers' Fling. This year's honors were be- stowed upon Helen Baker and Vllilliam Bill Howell. Helen Baker was crowned queen of the Harvest Dance on October 30, by Jane Turner. She was wheeled to the throne in the campus push cart fwhich had been appropriately deco- rated for the occasionj by Bill Howell and Don- ald Awe. These young men, as Well as Florence Hardin and Helen Twomey, had been elected by popular vote to be the queen's attendants. Exactly four months later, on March 30, and after an exciting campaign to elect the king and his court for the Gold Diggers' Fling, Bill Howell Was chosen to rule over the biggest dance of the school year. After the grand march, Bill and his court of Marjorie Schlots, Roberta Gayle, and Helen Twomey, marched the length of the gym to the throne, where he knelt to be crowned King of the Fling by Helen Baker, president of the Student Uouncil and liaryest flueen. For the occasion Lee Home- broo'r and his orchestra had been obtained to furnish the music in a room decorated to rep- resent a spring garden. And so, with the school year ending, we doff our hats to these, our monarchs of 1944, and cry, Hail to the King and Queen-Long' may they reign ! - By TUnNr:n .fincofn Glad With the completion of the Lincoln Room, a Lincoln Study Class was formed in the fall, with Mrs. C. A. Balot' as the instructor. Although the course entailed an extensive study ot' certain phases of Lincoln's life, the fall term was high-lighted with a visit to the home of Dr. M. L. Houser in Peoria, and his unusual Lincoln library. All the girls wrote essays on the Lineage and Childhood of Abraham Lincolnf' and in January, the Lincoln Sfznly Class Gazette con- tained the prize-winning essay by Roberta Gayle. Cn February ll, Dr. XYilliam E. Baringer, executive secretary of the Abraham Lincoln Association in Springfield and author of Lia- roln 's Rise fo Power, was speaker on the annual Lincoln Day program, at which time the Lincoln Room was formally dedicated. Clarence Coch- rane, of Davenport, lowa, was one of the guests present that day. Mrs. Henry Pond, historian for the restor- ation of New Salem, gave three interesting lectures on the New Salem period of Lincoln's life on February Mrs. Pond invited the class to visit her home and New Salem State Park in the spring, so on April 29, the class spent a fascinating day examining historic treasures which belonged to Mrs. Pond and in- specting the buildings and grounds at New Salem. The class wrote second essays on The lndiana Years, for which prizes will be award- ed on graduation day. - RY TURNER '7!w L G. Ginza The Lincoln College choir, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Max Miranda, has provided back- ground for college activities during the entire year. Though this year's choir was small, it maintained the usual program of singing hymns for chapel services and for special occasions. ' The outstanding event of the year was the annual Christmas Vesper 'service at the Meth- odist Church, When the choir was augmented by many friends and alumni. The customary sing- ing of the t'Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah highlighted the ceremony. The members this year have been Helen Baker, Marvin Caldwell, Margaret Coogan, Doris Gehlbach, Bonita Graham, Bill Johnson, Geno Keltner, Mary Ione Seeber, and Marjorie Schlots. Max Miranda, piano and organ in- structor, accompanied. - BY Coooiin 14. W L61 The Associated Women of Lincoln College, better known as A. W. L. C., of which each young lady is automatically a member, has been in charge of many of the events held on the campus this year. Luncheons which'have been planned on special occasions have been under the direction of this group. In November, Mrs. Nate Landauer gave an interesting talk to the girls on new colors and styles in clothing for the winter and spring seasons. In December, the A. W. L. C., faculty, and E. K. gave a Christmas tea for the mothers of college students. The committees for the occasion were par- tially made up of Associ- ated Women members. On February 29, A. W. L. C. entertained the school Harts House. The young ladies of this organization also helped finance the new Lincoln College S e r V i c e Flag, as well as contribut- ing some time to the mak- ing of it. - BY ATTEBERRY ' with a Leap Year party at J . , ,, i V F I , Q ' 23 ,ff an ff g, ly!! 16?

As adviser, I should like to award the following: Orchids to the two editors, Roberta Gayle and Jane Turner. These two young ladies put in many extra hours and burned much mid- night oil in planning, arranging, writing, and re-writing the issues. Praise is certainly due them for their fine spirit of cooperation and for a job well-done. Gardenias to Jean Shepler, Rose Mary Peifer, and Doris Gehlbach. To Jean, for her ever-readiness to illustrate articles at a mo- ment's notice, to draw feature pages, such as the Easter Bonnets in the last issue, and to write humorous features from time to time, to Rose Mary, for her well-written self-styled ar- ticles which came in on the dot for each publi- cation and which needed little, if any, retouch- ingg and to Doris, for her willingness to be Johnny-on-the-spot when it came time to type and cut the stencils for each issue, as well as being ready to memeograph or slip-sheet each page as it ran through the rollers. Roses to Mary Flllen llangan, Mary lone Seeber, GC-no Keltner, Bonita Graham, and Helen Baker for their handling of news of all sorts, 'fHarts Hall Dorm Doodles, t'Aronnd the Campus, Foreign Relations club and choir news, and E. K. articles respectively. These articles, though sometimes late in arriving, were turned in in good style and helped keep the students well-informed. Sweet peas to Jim Graff and Bills Howell and Busch for their work on tl1e 'tMurphy Dorm Doodles. Also to 'Bill Johnson who worked with us during a part of the year on feature stories and who also typed a bit. And here, too, let us include Helen Twomcy, Marilyn Atteberry, Helen Fisher, and Margaret Coogan who ,joined the regular staff to help in getting out the Annual. And last, but not least, a earnation to Mar- jorie Schlots and Florence Hardin who helped in illustrating and typing the first issues of the Lincolmcm. And to the staff as a whole, a niche of honor in L. U.'s Hall of Memories, because each issue will record what has gone on in this spe- cial year - your year at Lincoln College. - BY HOEPFNEII, Left to right, seated-First row: Bill Howell, James Graff, Marjorie Schlots.
