THE LINCOLN ANNUAL 9A Class History On January 26, 1931, two hundred and forty-six children entered Lincoln Junior High School. Here six home room groups were formed and the chil- dren began their career at Lincoln. Several confusing things happened, such as when the timid little 7Bls tried to ride the elevator, or when we went to the third floor for the gym. But after a few weeks we began to become more accustomed to our surroundings. June soon came when we left school feeling. rather proud that next semester we would be 7AIs. As 7A,s we felt most important because we could look down on the 713,5. In 7A we chose our clubs and began our study of general selence. Our sev- enth grade parties were held in the gym. In eighth grade we chose our electives. Our 813 party was held in the, auditorium. When we became 8Als, parties were discontinued. When we became 9B's, nine new pupils, together with a few pupils from the other home rooms, formed our 913-75. In this grade we had our first finals, which proved to be less difficult than we had expected. There was a meeting for only the 9A's called in the Lincoln Cafeteria one day during home room. Nobody knew why, but they had ideas of their own. We were assembled in the cafeteria, and Miss Bowman announced we were to elect our class adviser. Miss Burchfield was elected. A few days later we voted for our class officers. The following were elected: Charles Hoar, presi- dent; Ruth Nelson, vice-president; Helen Metz, secretary; Stuart Nelson, treasurer. The next thing for the 9Als was the 9A class play, Little Miss 'llaji'crs. When Miss Cotta called a meeting for try-outs, there were about a hundred present. When the cast wasannounced, there were some happy and some sad faces. There were some three or four long weeks of practice for the people in the cast. Then came the fatal afternoon and evening, but the long weeks of practice were worth the while because it was a huge success. While the play practicing was going on, the 9A class party and assembly were being taken care of by Miss Peterson and Miss Hall. The party was in the form of the nCentury of Progress? Jeanette Turnquist was chosen from all the 9A classes to be queen at the party. They served refreshments and had the Grand March. Several pupils gave a program which was called the Hfloor show? The class assembly was in charge of Miss Hall. The 9B's were in- vited. The class prophecy and will were given. Ruth Nelson, vice-president, presented the axe to Charlotte Harvey of the 9B class. The pupils of the 9A class formed a circle around the seats of the auditorium and sang their claSs song, thus ending the program of the 9A class. In 9A thirty-three enthusias- tic pupils began work on the Annual stall, with Dick Wolfley, as etlitor-in-ehief, and Phyllis Rehn as associate editor. Many active members have taken part in various activities. Dorothy VVallin has proved to be a very efficient president of the Student Council. Gilbert Mork has been a helpful handy-man. Lowell Hanson has served as president and Doris Mae Gustafson as concert-master of the orchestra. Many of our members have been active in band work. Various students have taken part in interesting assemblies. The White Knights to which Roy Anderson, Bob Greenberg, Bill Engberg, Bob Chris- tianson, and Bill Peterson belong, have entertained us several times. Genevieve Berzin, Jean Cullen, Richard Johnson, and Kenneth Lowe have done much to make our school paper an interesting one. Some of our noted athletes have been Louis Coletta, Arthur Donofrio, and Charles Hoar. '1934 page sixteen
