Student Participation We are dismayed to find the lack of student participation in Lincoln High. Wfhy, we ask ourselves, does such a condition exist? This last term a number of clubs have not even held a single meeting, and most of the others have been poorly supported. We find ,many who feel that joining a club is a waste of time. When we recall that the forming of a club is the result of a desire of a group of students to further their interests along certain lines, it is difficult to understand such an attitude. Whose fault is it if meetings are not interesting? If students really want something interesting, it is up to each of them to be ready to contribute information and ideas. The wide variety of clubs furnishes an opportunity for the furthering of many diverse interests. A member of a club is taught initiative and a sense of responsibilityg in other words, club members are trained in those qualities which are necessary to success. We all know that in Lincoln the turnout for our sports has been woefully inadequate, even though the coaches have emphasized that anyone who is physically fit can with training perform creditably. We realize that the co-operation of a student body is directly reflected by the performance of its teams. Yet how many do we find who complain of the poor showing of the teams yet who, themselves, never went out for any sports? How can we expect our boys to win victories when the student body does not enthusiastically support them. Though the faculty permitted the students to elect officers to the L. A. A., the sale of L. A. A, tickets has been miserably poor. The only way we will have winning teams is by having a student body with a sense of responsibility and co-operation. Too, we find almost inconceivable lack of class responsibility. In the case of The Quill, members of senior classes have refused to exert themselves by contributing, securing advertisements, or otherwise aiding, unless they were given some prominent distinguished position. Whom de we respect more, the man who helps his fellow men merely through a sense of responsibility or the man who must have a news reporter present to record the fact that he is aiding some needy peson? We know that The Quill is the product of the senior class, yet it is surprising how many seniors feel their Work is done when they elect a Quill Boardn. We deplore this unthinking attitude and can only hope that co-operation not irresponsibility will be the keynote of the attitude of succeeding classes. A student organization should be in charge of all school activities. We feel that such an organization is beneficial, but the student body can not hope to obtain permission for such an undertaking unless it shows by a new spirit of responsibility, initiative, and participation in school activities, that the students of Lincoln High School are ready for self-government. 98

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? What's that? I looked to my brother for an answer. You see I was just four years old, and he was the big protector. The cause of my fright was the piercing call of a siren that rent the crisp air. It was a psychological moment for me, for I had just returned from an afternoon at the zoo. For a moment I was frozen with a gripping fear. The penetrating quality of that painful shriek of the siren possessed me with a sudden agony. It didn't help matters any for my brother to exclaim: The animals in the zoo have broken loose. Run! Get into the house. The big bad wolf will get you! I cannot describe my movements, but I recall that my anguish was suddenly transferred to all the queer shadows of the deepening dusk in the twilight shades. I saw images of monsters about to devour me. I recall, too, how the door refused to open and my passage to safety seemed blocked for ages. But, after' helter-skelter stum.bling and running, I got inside, trembling with terror. When my brother came in to supper he didn't help matters any by gloating over his victory. He insisted that wolves would eat little children who were still out at dusk. I gulped down my supper and went to bed. I felt a large lump in my stomach. I shut my eyes tightly and covered my ears. One evening soon afterwards, my family was returning from a visit. Since my bedtime was near, I anxiously and earnestly advised my father to drive faster. Suddenly I heard the siren! In my excitement I sobbed and shrank back in fear. When my mother inquired what was the matter with me, I looked up, surprised that she did not know. They have broken out of the zoo again, I cried. She regarded me in utter amazement. just about that time we rounded a corner, and a large factory came into view. Men and women came flooding out of the open gates. I understood. It was the factory whistle. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Can it be that we are just children? Can it be that the ominous rumblings and the piercing cries of alarm that rend the air these days are no more than the normal sounds of a great industrial order closing in the twilight of one age only to open its doors again to a waiting public on the morrow? Perhaps we have only slept a night away after all. Perhaps we shall soon all be privileged to return to work again, and all our fears shall be dispelled in the light of a new day. Arlbur Margufics. 100
