enbezvous ffl: I 94.2 Theylre here- a new year, another graduating class. and a .Ian- uary 1942 commencement date, torn from an unhappy calendar in a world echoing with the litre ol competing enemy guns, and an America attuned to the radio chant. nRemember Pearl Harborly' VVe're remembering Pearl Harbor-malce no mistalce about thatl Vvere we not graduates-elect of Lincoln High, the school that launched a 5-day drive for victory funds and with its home room pennies, netted 3529 im- mediately alter war was declared? But weyre remembering Lincoln, too I-remembering that through this issue of the SENIOR RAILSPLIT- TER, we are expressing ourselves for the last time as active members of a beloved student body. Let us ponder a bit. VVe,re not sentirnentalists, but it,s none too easy to checlc our emotions when we re- member ourselves as little tylces approaching the portals of Lincoln High. Already, we are loolcing baclc wistlully to the Hsarne old things We did in the same old Way . . The morning street car crowded beyond its budget-f and our feeling fat in spite of our thinnessg the mad rush for Lincoln,s side door,-only to find it loclced . . . The crowd chattering in the front lobby, awaiting 8 o'cIoclc and the entry bell . . . the gang drawn by an invisible magnet around the bulletin board . . . the home-run for homeroom in the nick of timeI Excelsiorl SorryI It was my fault . . . Darnl The door's lockedl . . . HVVatch out, therel Keep off the monogram . . . HVVhat,s goin' on today? . . . HCroshI I made it--'no tardy make-up time for me, thanlc goodnessI Lincoln H i g h meets Lincoln High -and mingle. They malce quips -1 and give them. They share each other,s Ioclcers, catch each otherys colds, swipe each other's jolces. eat e a c h otheris candy bought by each other's pen- nies at everyIoocly's Lincoln Lollypop BarI And graduates-elect have had the same old parties in the same old, good-times way as they did in 1927. Scheduled on the activities program lor Lincolnss first crop of graduates were: class get-together, informal party: baccalaureate Sunday: class party with parents: class day: class banquet: graduation. VVe've banged lockers: we've peelced through class- room doorsg we've swarmed down to lunchg we've lined-up along the office counter and aslced inane ques- tions, just Iilce the rest of them. fu SAIVI'S RADIO SERVICE 5158 Southwest Ninth Street Phone 5-2705 .
