THE LINCOLN ANNUAL History of the 9A Class In the fall of 1931, the present 9A class entered Lincoln. The Class was divided into eight groups with a total enrollment of three hundred. Two more groups were added in the fall of. 1933, so that now there are ten groups with a total enrollment of three hundred and seventy. In the seventh grade we endured such ridiculous experiences as being called ltfreshie, failing to be able to open padloeks, and getting lost just as all other seventh graders have endured and will endure. We were quite over- whelmed by the size of the school and the unusual activities. At the end of this year, we received our first Annuals and had one Of our first big thrills. After being promoted into the eighth grade, we felt a little bigger and carried on our work in a satisfactory manner. Some of us even learned to swim. And now we are ninth graders. XNe have all grown upHexeept Clayton Anderson, who will never grow up. We make up the members of the Ammal staff, give a class play, give an assembly, enjoy a party, and in general act as the superiors 0f the school should act. We look over the three years at Lincoln as being well spent, and as days which we shall never forget. The following groups compose this unusual class: Up on the third floor the 9A-1 class has headquarters in room 302. Miss Laura Larson has been the home room teacher ever since this class entered the school. When they came in 1931, there were thirty-two in the group; now there are thirty-eight. Included 'in this group are several A pupils. Evelyn Johnson of the class is the school's champion speller. Charlotte Harvey is the president of the Student Council. Several pupils are in the class play, and on the staffs of the Annual and Lincoln, Lag. To End the 9A-2's we must go to the hrst floor. Here in room 118 they can he found. When they were 7B's, Miss Thelma Larson was their teacher. When Miss Larson became Mrs. Swenson, they became. the pride and joy of Miss Needham. This class is well represented in the band, the orchestra, the class play, and the Ammal and Lincoln Log staffs. People have often been struck by the delicious Odors that seem to come from room 307. But the 9A-3 class has not been doing the cooking and bak- ing; they are in there only for their home room. In 1931, there were thirty- one memberseor freshiesein this class. Now there are thirty-seven. In 1932, they left their home room teacher, Mrs. VVestring. and for a while had Mr. Fowler for their home room teacher. However, they liked the atmos- phere of the kitchen tand their ever present hope of a tea partyO better than the surroundings of a shop, so at the beginning of their ninth grade they returned to Mrs. Westring and to their old room. The class contains several notable people. Robert Tucker was seventh grade Student Council secretary and treasurer. Several members of the Class have made names for them- selves in athletics. The 9A-4,s have had three home room teachers. As 7Bls they had Miss Davis. After Miss Davisl marriage, Miss Crandall came to take care of them. In the eighth grade they were given to Mr. Middleton. Now they are back with Miss Crandall. The class has many notable members. Robert Johnson had a 1934 page twcuty-four
