?{jonoA, SocktivA, The clubs, honor societies, and service groups in Lincoln offer each student an opportunity to develop himself in an activity which interests him. Clubs not only aid the student to learn more about a par- ticular subject, but help to promote fellowship and companionship among all taking part in the group. A good example of this would be the hard-working members of the Camera Club who devote much of their spare time in attempting to take pictures. whenever a member finds a way to improve certain shots, he immediately spreads this knowledge to all his fellow members. Honor societies recognize the abilities of worthy students. Those who receive ten or more points on their card automatically become members of the CSF. This organization plans an extensive program of additional activities each term in order to reward members for their diligent study. Everyone in the CSF finds it extremely worth his while to become a part of its working machine. The service groups at Lincoln offer all students who w ish to better Lincoln or to serve the com- munity an excellent opportunity to do so. The Ser- vice Society, the Tri-Y, and the Hi-Y proudly boast the most energetic workers in Lincoln. The members of each of these three groups gladly do all they possibly can to help improve Lincoln. They also participate in many outside activities for worthy causes. All of Lincoln ' s clubs, honor societies, and ser- vice groups are under the direction of capable spon- sors who aid in directing and planning the activities in which students participate. Sports enthusiasts can be found taking part in Block L functions. Being a member of the Boys ' and Girls ' Block L is a reward to those who have followed a sport for a number of years and have proved outstanding in their field. Besides having the distinction of wearing a huge ' L (red for girls, yellow for boys), these sportsters have programs and meetings and are willing to spread their knowl- edge to fellow Lincolnites or to perform duties to aid their Ainu iM.iler. During Lincoln ' s Carnival and Country Store, the members of clubs and other groups helped to wel- come our eight thousand visitors in a hearty manner. Many of these organizations had exhibits or conces- sions in various parts of the building which attracted all guests. The candid shots on the opposite page show clearly why the Carnival was the biggest success we have yet had at Lincoln. To everyone who was there, these pictures recall many pleasant memories. CARNIVAL AND COUNTRY STORE Lincolnites will Ions remember Friday evening, March 20. l ' )42. for it «as on thi.s night that the Carnival . nd Country Store s as held. The Football Follies, the Silver Palace Theatre, the Gay Nineties Revue. Pied Piper Hall, the plays put on by the dramatic classes, the dance in the gym, the classroom exhibits — endless other concessions — who is able to recall them without pleasant memories? The never-to- be-forgotten gaiety of the crowd of visitors, the laughter that echoed in every corridor, and the carefree attitude of the merrymakers. To those who took part in the entertainment, who sold and collected tickets, who acted as barkers, hosts and hostesses, who helped in the cafeteria, and to the many others who made our Carnival a success, we owe a sincere vote of thanks. For eight thousand persons .attended it. and eight thousand persons are eagerly anticipating the next carnival Lincoln will give. PACE EIGHTEEN '

Their newly-acquired school spirit immediately manifested itself when they attained the hundred-percent mark in the sale of student body cards. They were also very near the top in the sale of war stamps and bonds. Among the talented frosh, Marilyce McKean is outstanding as a professional acrobatic dancer. Other talent passed in review during the Carnival and Country Store when the freshmen presented the Dionne Quints. As to seeing double, many faculty members run into a little difficulty dis- tinguishing Phillip from Bernard Crimmins. The shortest boy in school, Johnny Blyer, is also a low nine. The sponsor of the freshmen activities, Mrs. Ethel Hall, has her time occupied in helping the class officers in arranging their dances and planning their other activi- ties. The officers consist of President Bill McCormick, Vice-President Patsy Baskamp, and Secretary- Treasurer Joyce Almlie. The main term event was the freshmen March to Victory dance, held on April 30. Here the student body demonstrated their friendliness and cooperation by attending in record numbers. MARGARET B. DEBOI will attend S.F. Junior College . . .

In the second row is the Locker Room Trip: Elwood Ford, Vic Hancock, and Joe Truzzolino. In the center is the super-salesman, Mr. C. W. White, our principal. Next is a group of the girls from the Foorball Follies. In the third row are some of the hostesses who served the night of the carnival by dancing with our guests. The lighted school pre- sents a cheery night view. In the bottom row are more of the seductive seniors of the Football Follies pictured in the fan- tastic roles thev assumed for the delight of the hundreds who paid to see them dance. PAGE NINETEEN
