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!

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.

FOOTBALL What a season for the Railsplittersl And there's reason aplenty for such a comment this semester. The Lynx team won five games, tied two, and lost only one- and that to a strong East high eleven, 25-6. The Railsplitters were victorious over Chariton, Roosevelt, Knoxville. Winterset, and Indianola, and were held to a scoreless tie by Pella and North. The 7-6 victory over Roosevelt will be a long remembered triumph, its being the first such record in the historv of Lincoln. Abe's boys tied for second place in the city series, and took second in the South Central conference with a percentage of 991. Senior lettermen on this year's squad are Capt. Bob Gillam, Cliff Anderson, A1 Beck, Bob Karnes, Jim Sheraden, Bill Park, Biggie Gil-lotti, Joe Uhlman, Bill Banghart, Bob Bagg, Mike Scione, Marion La-Brash, Dewey Roland, Nick Calacino, Eugene Morris, and Bill Rum-baugh.
