We Set Our Wings When visiting home-makers were asked whether they preferred a clinic, or style shows such as have been held in previous years, the majority favored a style show complemented by a clinic. Many patrons signified that they would like to have the home economics department open during the week for help with their problems. Frances Campopiano was chairman of the clinic assisted by co-chairman Bernadine Newman. Tomorrow's Memories War mementos of Lincoln's boys and girls in service will be kept in permanent form in a Hamilton filing cabinet which was purchased by the school this semester. The cabinet is made of golden oak and has four spacious drawers. Such souvenirs as insignia, and enemy trinkets are kept in the two top drawers, which are equipped with glass tops so that the contents may be viewed without danger of handling. The third drawer is occupied by the victory scrap book which tells about Lincoln's contributions to the war. Records pertaining to Lincoln's service per- sonnel are kept in the fourth drawer. At the close of the war, the cabinet and all its contents will be placed in the office under the faculty war service plaque as a lasting memory of Lincolners in service. Glass tops for the display drawers were inserted by Mr. M. M. Gerhart, woodshop instructor. All rec- ords are kept up to date by Miss Hazel Mitchell. Fifth In Queenship .
