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.

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!!

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! -
