'as if r- Nr rr vi W5- -s First 9A Class On January 25, l929, we began our life in Abraham Lincoln junior High School. XVe assembled in the auditorium and soon were led to our respective home rooms. The 7B grade was of constant variety for us, for we were unac- quainted with various parts of the building, with the teachers, and with the method of conducting the school. The upper classmen had a great deal of fun laughing at usg their laughter caused us much chagrin. The eighth grade proved a busy time for us. NVe found ourselves settled in the routine of every day study. XVe were better able to budget our time, so that we found a few spare moments to indulge in some of the numerous outside activi- ties which the school offered. Throughout the first two years of our stay at Lincln, we, like all classes, were awed by the majestic 9A's and longed for the time to come when we should fill their places. At last that long awaited opportunity arrived. lt was this last semester that was the most eventful of any semester we spent at Lincoln. Un October 22, the class met and elected Miss Mary Burchtield the class adviser. Un November 5, a second class meeting was held at which the following oliicers were elected: Uno Overstrom, presidentg Robert Metz, vice-presidentg Alice Marie Dunlap, secretaryg Janet Tobinson, treasurer. Our class boasts of many members who have been leaders in the activities of the school. Among the many who might be mentioned are the following: Frederick Carlson, the hrst semester editor of the idlllllltll, is talented musically. Besides the piano he plays the violin and the French horn. He was a member of the orchestra while in Lincoln. He is also a member of an orchestra which plays every week over the local radio station, KFLV. Throughout his stay in Lincoln he has been very generous with his time and his talentsi in furnishing entertain- ments. Betty Hilberg has been the capable and elilicient editor of the Liizrolii Log, an olhce she has held for three semesters. She, too, is possessed of other talents besides those of literature, and has given much pleasure by her dancing. janet Tobinson has been the school editor of the Liizraln Log, and Donald johnson, as joke editor, has brought many a smile to the school. Uno Overstrom has been sports editor of the paper. Not only has he written about the sports of the schoolg he has participated in them as a member of the football team. l-le has been a member of the Student Council since his lirst year in Lincoln, and was president of the organization during the last semester. l-lis popularity was evidenced by his election to the presidency of the class. Our class has furnished members for the orchestra and the band as well as for the various athletic teams of the school. ln all they have given etlicient service. Our last semester at Lincoln was marked by many activities. The 9A class play, Herr Comes Patricia, was given January 21, 1932. Miss Cotta directed the play, and those taking part were: Elizabeth lik, Lyle Swenson, Gladys llkwall, lfVilliam Allen, Frederick Saterbak, Virginia l-lawn, l-larriet Anderson, Marion Stenholm, Robert johnson, linute Nielson, john Bennett, and Howard Allen. On january 29, l932, a clever comedy, His fllfljP.Yfj', the Qurcli, was given for the benefit of the flnizzfal. Those taking part were: Fred Olson, Virginia l-lawn, Marion Stenholm, Gladys Ekwall, Virginia Laliorge, VVilliam Allen, and Lyle Swenson. The class party was held in the gymnasium january 30, and was voted a great success. Everyone looked beautiful and had a good time. The final 9A assembly was given February 4. After it was over, we received our book deposit money, our last words of caution from our teachers ,and we then left Lincoln forever, seeking further learning at Rockford Senior High School. Farewell Lincoln. ll93Z
