Us the lllnathes nf ?Hinruln Qtigh Srhnnl fue respettfullg hehitate this Sports Section as an expression nf our gratituhe for their untiring interest in the hehelopment of Quang athletes. Contenturi, Vos Salutamus! Gladiators are they who carry the name of Lincoln High School on gridiron, cinders, and court, and with a gladiatorial swagger they try to win your favor for the deeds which they are accomplishing, not for personal glory but for the greater glory of their Alma Mater. As amateurs they receive no pay for playing, nor do they want itg their greater emolument is the winning of victories for their school. Most of the men obtain pleasure from the contests themselves, while a few enjoy the honor and praise which are lavishly extended to the more successful players. But even those men not seen have the conviction that they are parts of a unit, cogs in a wheel. Sports go on because they are demanded by a sport-loving student body and because the players themselves contribute much of their time, energy, and health. Well might the sport world smile at the die for dear old Lincoln spirit, but over and above their flippancy, far and beyond their smirks, is the spirit of generous youth offering sacrifices which are actunlities and realities of young lives. If this be so, if these gladiators sacrifice so much for Lincoln High, cannot we, as admirers and students of Lincoln, sacrifice a little of our time and money? Fellow students, I entreat everyone of you to ask yourself whether you have been faithful to the athletic cause of your school. If you have not, by all means make it your duty in the future not to neglect this moral obligation. Ioscpfa Hart. 125

The president and secretary were nominated from the 12B classg the vice-president from the 12A class. In the past few terms there have been only small sales of L. A. A. tickets. Perhaps this has been due to the depression, perhaps to a feeling among the students that they had no say in the athletic activities of the school. Now with prosperity coming and with student oflicers in the school athletic association, there is no reason why the students should not wholeheartedly support the L. A. A. 126
