Junior Actors—Junior high boys may have dramatic talents, concealed or otherwise, but circumstantial evidence shows that all members of the junior actors' club are girls. These promising young maidens, bent on getting experience early, meet each Thursday to study script and learn stage technique. Club days often provide hilarious entertainment in the v ay of talent shows. Character Commission—Building for better character is the earnest desire of members of the junior character commission. The organization, in an effort to establish better standards for Lincoln, sponsors a character conference each year, this semester's theme being The Value of Influence. By striving to be better leaders and better followers, commission members hope to make their club a worthy example for the school. Junior Actors Bock Row: Carl, Mi Price, St. lohn. Gray, Botkin.

Monitors . . . Upstairs and downstairs and in the lady's chamber, Hasty's henchmen, the school monitors, keep watch over daytime traffic. Stationed in seats of the mighty, they gauge your speed and hurry you up if you're too slow—and slow you dov n if you're too hurried. And if you don't have a hall pass, better v atch out! More than one free lance culprit has suffered rebuke and been given a ticket to the judicial committee. And no gnawing and gnashing of teeth, Studes! Your monitors function! Projectors' League—Public Address— Although two separate organizations, the projectors league and the public address system work on many cooperative enterprises. The projectors, 12 in number, operate the sound movie at noon. In this service group, members are chosen for their high scholastic standing and their leadership ability. The P. A. system with seven members supply the system for assemblies, football games, basketball games, and school productions. Monitors Back Row: Sloven, R. S in i i h . Atkinson, Jor.os, Mitchell.

Members of the social dancing group have pioneered beyond the dance floor, and set a record by being the first social dancers to be photographed for publication in the Senior Railsplitter. Ushers Lincoln's ushers work by day and often by night. They are the guardian angels of school funds at doors and gates and windows. They take activity books, receive money, and sell tickets. And not the least of their job is piloting auditorium guests to a safe and happy landing!
