Weeks, principal, in Sep- tember, 1934. Principal Weeks Mates that these thirty forums each semester have been a success in interest- ing students to think upon current topics as applied to individual usefulness to the community, with 395 stu- dents participating weekly. The second innovation has been the high school broadcasts organized in Des Moines under the direc- tion of Lornun E. Watters, director of music educa- tion in the Des Moines public schools. Lincoln stu- dents have broadcast six times during this year, with final broadcast recorded. lime, 1935. senior ethics include wearing any ring correctly . . . particularly class rings. If the head of a knight is cut in the stone of a ring if a bird or animal is the decoration ... if init- ials, crest, or insignia are etched out or mounted on a circlet the ring is worn so that the decoration, insignia or initials are away from the wearer and toward the person gazing at the ring . . . therefore Lincoln High graduates wear their rings with the ALMS monogram away from the wearer.

The Senior Railsplitter ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL Our Last Song Together (Sung to A Perfect Day — Carrie Jacobs-Bond) When we come to the end of our high school days And we find ' tis time that we part. Though zve go to live in our many ways, These years linger in every heart; Yet we feel very sad when we say adieu To friends and to teachers true, For our souls are dull though our lives arc neiv As we journey azvay from you. Though our eyes may be bright as we seek our fate — Though we view the future with tears — lf T c must thank our school as we graduate For all that it ' s done in past years. So we give our farewell to Maroon and Gold, The symbol of Lincoln High, Tor ' tis in new work that we are enrolled And zv e now must say goodbye. IT hen we have much hope and have visions, too, When our minds fill with pleasant thoughts Of the years ivc spent zealously with you — When the gate of success unlocks. Our thoughts will forever retain you near — Our hearts will have naught to fear — .v we pass from the halls of old Lincoln dear To new fields that may soon appear.
