LINCOLN 13 HAIL AND FAREWELL The fame of The Abraham Lincoln High School has been spread far and wide, unTiI cuIminaTing in January, I937, we have reached a high poinT on The wave of renown. UndoubTedIy, much of This fame, forTune, and renown can be Traced direcTly back To Lincoln's aThIeTic Teams. And sadly enough, These very aThIeTic Teams will now, aT graduaTion, have To parT wiTh Their aThIeTes. The greaTesT loss will be felT by The Too+baII Team. The absence of Linemen Ruby Klein, Joel LichTman, and Harold Lehr will be greaTIy deTrimenTaI To nexT year's for- ward wall. Ruby and Harold proved Their meriT by winning all-scholasTic honorable menTion. Irving RoTh, a member of The backfield, in his IasT Term aT Lincoln, has achieved fame as The Third highesT scorer in Brooklyn. Sid EnTin, anoTher member of The backfield, a fullback, has enTerTained many foofball fans and has helped win many games by his ideal kicking and passing. OTher members of The Too+baII Team who did noT see as much acTion are Ed Levine and ArThur Wiggins. Abe Zebrak, a swivel-hipped flashy open field running back, is also To be IosT. Abe is capfain of The Track Team and The IOO yard ouTdoor P.S.A.L. champion. His leaving Lincoln resulTs in a double loss-fooTbaII and Track. Graduafing wiTh Zebralc are TracksTers Sid Barken, who runs The Turlong. and Richard Jenkins who has made an exceIlenT name for himself as a half miler. HerberT Rose is anoTher ouTsTanding Trackman. He is capTain of The cross-counTry Team and PresidenT of AThIeTika. The Soccer Team will lose I-IerberT Zwirn on The forward line. Raymond Raskind and Louis Izzo, Two shining IighTs on boTh oTfense and defense will also leave. The graduaTion of Irving Cohen and Max Hauer will Take from The Team Two seasoned and experienced veTerans. BoTh are fine players, and asseTs To The Team in speed and Technique. Their loss will be keenly feIT. The baske+baII Team is comparaTively lucky, indeed, for iT does noT lose a single man This graduaTion. The enTire quinTeT remains inTacT. This is also True of The RiTIe Team, The Tall defending P.S.A.L. champions. They, Too, will keep Their enTire Team for The nexT shooT season. The Tennis Team Tied for second place in Brooklyn, IasT spring. During The following season, This Team will carry on wiTh The same courTmen. The Lincoln baseball Team has won Third place in Brooklyn. NexT Term's Team has championship prospecfs, buT will be weak in The caTching deparTmenT, as a resulT of loss of slugger Murray Zuckerman.

As The years pass by, The Temale sex makes a greaTer place Tor iTselT in The world. In Lincoln, The girls have placed all Ten Tingers in The pie oT sporTs. Looking in on The Girls' SporTs World oT Lincoln, we see many oT our Triends who, in Their years aT Lincoln, did Their parT Tor girls' handball, Tennis, baseball, baskeTball, and swimming and in spare momenTs were rushing oTT To KallisTa meeTings. They are leaving This small Town oT Lincoln To venTure inTo a larger world where They can puT inTo pracTice The ideas of Tair play and leadership ThaT They have learned by going ouT Tor The Things They love so dearly.

Looking Through our club Iisfs, we discover ThaT iT is quiTe obvious ThaT our alma maTer has more clubs Than any oTher high school in The ciTy. ArisTa heads The lisT, Tor This is The leading socieTy aT Lincoln. Emanuel Gillers and .lean Oxhandler are The ouTsTanding seniors oT ArisTa. Manny Gillers will Take his place in The Lincoln Hall of Fame, along wiTh oTher G. O. PresidenTs. Jean is a hard working SecreTary oT ArisTa and very capable. DoroThy Puchalsky is The graduaTing PresidenT of Arkon and has gained ThaT posiTion by doing a greaT deal oT service Tor her school. MorTon Beer, vice-presidenT oT Arkon, is The Tellow one can always Tind in 336 The eighTh period Tor MorTy is PresidenT OT The Senior Class. Charming Sydel Emil is The graduaTing SecreTary aT Arkon. She was always called Sydel unTil we saw Emil, Sydel prinTed on her regenTs card.

He does a greaT deal oT service Tor his alma maTer, and Lincoln will be sorry To see him go. LANDMARK
