Abraham Lincoln High School generators of Integrity ROBERT WORTH INGTON, president of the June ' 36 senior class, is one of the outstanding leaders in Lincoln High history. - Better known as Bob, Robert has been a leader in Lincoln High since his seventh grade entrance from Washington elementary school. Worthington was a member of both junior and senior student councils for a number of semesters . . . was always dependable as an active and consistent worker. By virtue of his fine leadership, scholarship, character, and service, Worthington was elected to the Abraham Lincoln High chapter of National Honor Society in 11A. During the past three semesters he has proved a valuable member of this organization. Because of his practical jokes and witty remarks, Bob will always be remembered as a sincere companion and a worthy leader. REX FEIGHT, vice president of the June ' 36 class, was recently named Napoleon by one of the Lincoln instructors because of various medals . . . National Honor Society pin, June ' 36 class pin, Des Moines High School Day ribbon, and controller ribbon, all worn on one coat. Rex entered Lincoln in the eighth grade in 1931 from Norwalk, Iowa, and has since been a class leader and enthusiastic worker on the senior student council. Rex ' s hobby is riding bicycles, which he has driven over 4,000 miles . . . going out with girls . . . and dancing. Napoleon is rather small, measuring 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 130 pounds, but he is chock full of dynamite. Lincoln students and faculty will indeed miss this smiling, yet serious, energetic scholar. JEAN CLINGAN, secretary of the June ' 36 senior class, is one of the most deserv- ing and popular girls in the senior class. Entering Lincoln from Indianola High in 1934 when she was in the tenth grade, it took but few weeks to win friends with her pleasing personality. She is not afraid of work and enjoys doing things for the school. Whenever something is to be completed and no one else will do it, Jean steps in and helps out. She has been prominent in the band, and later in the service orchestra. Jean is a good-looking blonde, is of average size, and enjoys good humor. RUSSELL MOTE, better known in later years as Fibber, entered Lincoln High from Howe elementarv school. During his six years at Lincoln, Russell has achieved one of the highest honors the school can give, membership in National Honor Society. During Mote ' s last year and a half, he has made a great showing in the music department where he was in both the band and service orchestra. Russell being a quiet fellow, usually took his school activi- ties seriously and was chosen by the Lincoln Railsplitter as one of the popular boys in Lincoln High. It was later his fine ability and leadership that won him the treasurership of the June, 1936, class.
