Abraham Lincoln High School Experience Qained by Journalists By publishing the regular Railsplitter and the semi- annual Senior Railsplitter, the June, 1936, A s and other senior high students engaged in journalism have gained valuable experience during their time spent in journalism. Attending conventions has also been another means of gaining journalistic knowledge. Graduating seniors who attended the two-day Medill Press Conference held at Northwestern University, Evanston, HI., on May 1 and 2 include : Leno Chiesa, Beatrice Coburn, Eugene Crook, Ruth DeYall, and James Louberto. During the conference these students participated in individual contests. James Louberto, editor of the regular Rail- splitter, won honorable mention in the editing and make-up contest while at the conference. Leno Chiesa, sports editor of the regular Railsplitter, and James Louberto have also been honorable mention winners in the International Quill and Scroll contests by virtue of material entered in sports writing and editorial contests. Heading the June ' 36 Senior Railsplitter staff was Raymond Fontanini, who was also an excellent manager of the business affairs of the bi-weekly Railsplitter. Ruth DeVall has also worked hard to perfect the papers published by the journalism department, by aid- ing in the capacity of executive editor of the regular school paper and associate editor of the June, 1936, Senior Railsplitter. Other June ' 36 seniors who have furthered Lincoln High journalism progress include: Orville Arnold. Eleanore Been, Gretchen Boyd, Beatrice Coburn, Eugene Crook, Frank Domanico, Louis Ferin, Arthur Fontana, Marcella Jaggers, Arlene Polen, Max Shelton, Lena Tamasi, Gertrude Timmons, and Iona VerSteeg. Lincoln ' s 75-piece band appeared at all high school football games; as guest band for the Ames-Drake game, and in assembly programs in other Des Moines public high schools. For the past year, high school musical organizations have been developing a feeling of goodwill between schools. As a result, Lincoln has participated at the other three schools in exchange for their entertainment. Lincoln ' s music department presented the opera Martha, last fall, which proved successful and all of these musical presentations have been under the direc- tion of Frederick E. Engel, music director of the senior organization. From these organizations graduates of the June ' 36 class leaving these organizations are: Alice Armel. chorus; Lloyd Burnstedt, band; Earle Canfield, band; Frank Domanico, chorus; James Kelly, chorus; Ed- mond Koons, chorus ; Robert Lusk, band ; Russell Mote, band ; Felix Pascuzzi, orchestra ; Clifton Oliver, chorus ; Harry Ritchie, band; Doris Stroud, chorus; Lena Tamasi, chorus; Gertrude Timmons, band; George Trissel, band ; James Wilhite, band ; and Wayne Wil- lett, c horus. ( lass Song (Tune: Lights Out ) Goodbye, Lincoln High, One more class is leaving you, Goodbye, Lincoln High, We leave our friends and teachers true. They ' ve helped us o ' er the rough spots, We ' ve toiled from week to week. To make, this day, A bright spot in our memory. DAusic Lincoln High ' s senior music department is divided into four different senior groups: the band, orchestra, chorus and glee club. From these are taken the boys ' quartet, girls ' trio and dance band. These senior organi- zations are continually busy studying programs to present for entertainment. During the past year the Lincoln senior boys ' quartet has represented Lincoln High at the Consistory, the Ames Band dinner, the Lincoln P. T. A., Retail Grocers convention, and the Swedish Mission church. The group this semester is composed of Earle Canfield, June ' 36 ; Charles Pilmer, James Cassel and Wayne Willett, June ' 36. Lincoln ' s band had two new instruments, the glocken- spiels, added to their music making group in Septem- ber, 1935. One glockenspiel is played by George Tris- sel, a member of the June ' 36 class. Farewell, to you, Though we hate to leave your halls, Farewell, to you, Now a greater duty calls. Well ne ' er forget the hours, Of happiness spent here, With you, Lincoln High, They have been so siveet and dear. Goodbye, Lincoln High, Though we hate to say adieu, Goodbye, Lincoln High, Noiv we leave for fields anciv, We reach the hour of parting, But our memories will remain, With you, Lincoln High, Bigger things zve must attain. — Betty Jane Frederick. June ' 36.
