To keep up these hooks, students are required to l)uv one stamj) for each week at the price of 10c a stamj).

By buying one of tiiese activity books, the students are privileged to attend any games played by Lincoln High by merely ])resenting the book, whereupon they are admitted with- out paving, except in out-of-town games, where they may be charged a small fee. Besides this, the books admit the holder to the senior school play and the track meets, they entitle the holder to the bi-weekly school ])a])er.
