'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! -
