Our birth beeame our break of dawng the sun peeped o'er the hill. Dawn set us on the path of life, mid sent us on our way, And though this path seems rough and long sehool life is but a day. A day of great adr'enlure, a day of joy and pain, ' A day 'wliieli sliaitters all one's hopes then builds them up aga-In. Our early morning hours were spent,' and soon seliool time drew nigh. Little we remember of the hours that first 'went byg But when we entered sehool the sun fame to full view For one of our fond mem'ries is 'when we first went to school. Our elementary sehooling sped as pre-sehool hours had done, And slowly we began to meet eaeh other one by one. From different sehools and different towns our paths began to eross, And when a sehool ehum left our elass we felt a dreaded loss. Our sun was rising steadily with every heart's desire rind every time we passed a grade it rose a little higher. Soon high noon of our sehool day fame. We passed from grades to high srhool ll here playing e'z'ery moment seemed no longer your and my rule. 5 More work was tlll.1'l'tl with mueh less play. Our erown -we had to earn. llle began to learn to study and deeide whieh 'way to turn. llf'e were learn-ing to enjoy it as we thought we newer would And resolved to do the things we did the fiery best 'Ive could. Our sun deseended toward the west though afternoon. was newg Now and then fl eloud appeared then faded from our 'zIIe'w. It seemed like months and even years but soon the hours had passed To ezfentide, and we had rearhed our day's twelfth hour at last, The final hour, our sunset hour. Our lives we'7'e tried to mold To make our golden sunset a beauty to behold. This hour brings us together in a elass of graduates true. May we reap a golden lzarrtest from our toil one great day through. May we always loiie our brothers, recierenee teaelzers, help our friendsg And if we ever hurt someone, be quiek to make amends. May our lives be elean and wliolesoine, lifting them both fair and square, And in every thought and aetion may we let this be our prayer: Cod keep us ever pushing on dissatisfied and true, Newer let us onee forget the debt we owe to You, Newer let us reafh our goal but always keep our plaee, And make us be forerfer faithful serirants to Your Graee, Keep us with Thy watchful eye until life's journeys end And ti! eternal Illl7Q'H breaks fair, we'll praise Thy name- MEN. The Senior Railsplitter ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL President Geills Address E, OF THE JUNE, 1935, graduating class, are having lx our commencement and are , engaged in completing what we be- X iq lieve to be the first step in an impor- T tant victory. 9 i The word commencement is de- l 0 1 ceiving. It is seldom used except in ' connection with the final exercise of ll, some group engaged in passing on 3 toward new fields. gh , 'l The word is usually accepted to imma l mean an end. T hat is true, because gp- H.. this is an end. It means the i 'x 'mMm- - 'Ni putting aside, in most in- stances, of friends who have proved themselves. It signals the definite passing of one of the happiest times of our lives. It echoes the reminder that from here we must go forward without the familiar faces and that our journey must take us to new instructors and into a game that will have new rules. It is in truth an end, and one which every person in this class regrets. But what is more essential to those of us who are leaving Abraham Lincoln High School forever is the fact that commencement also represents a beginning. To us it is important. It is an opportunity for some of us to get a new start. It is a chance for some of us who have accumulated honors to add new glories. For all of us it is the beginning of the greatest effort we shall ever be called upon to make. First, and naturally, we shall be interested in the things closest to us, the acquiring of shelter, food and clothing. After that we shall be interested in efforts to promote the general welfare of the community in payment for the exceptional educational advantages we have received. None of us is content, but, rather, we are looking forward to victories beyond our present grasp and, I repeat, hoping emphasis will make our sincerity clear, that we are grateful for the opportunities we have received at Lincoln High. Without them our glimpse into the future would be much dimmer. Still no person can say that one of us is fitted above others for a unique role in the future. All of us have lived in this small community surrounded by instruc- tors acting as coaches, giving us advice in regard to every major problem we have undertaken, in an effort to prepare us for future encounters. How well we have succeeded cannot be told, because this present victory is a team affair to which all of us have tried to contribute our just and equal share. But with the passing of our high school days the challenge becomes more specific . . . in effect the team has played its last game . . . and it now becomes an indi- vidual problem. Some of us will continue in our efforts to acquire more education. We will scatter to many colleges and other places of learning. Some will enter immediately into the business world. A few of us will probably settle at once to the making of homes. But the point is, that regardless of the path we choose to follow, from now on we shall find the hurdles are higher, the paces faster. Because of a greatly upset economic condition the tests will be greater than any we have before faced. All these things being true, we know we must face the future with courage, with sincerity, with honesty. We know the rules. They have been taught us at Lincoln High school. Now it is for us to meet life as it comes, and endeavor to play the game so there will be few fouls or errors against our names. Naturally all of us cannot expect to scale the peaks to the topmost point. But we can all direct our lives so that no matter what height is reached we can look back down the long road and be proud of the manner and method that have enabled us to gain whatever small vantage point we possess. If we can do that we are sure of gaining some meas- ure of success We will have passed a test which is greater than the accumulation of great wealth or fame or any of the other things the world offers. We can't all play a winning game, Someone is sure to lose,' Yet we can play so that our name N o one may dare accuse. That when the Master Referee Scores against our name It 'won't be whether we won or lost, But how we played the game. 6 MOINES, IOWA 0 JUNE, I A -...... ... The Senior Railsplitter 7 Leaders . . .-i-OCldY . . .-l-OITIOHOW STUART GEIL, president of the June 1935 class, better known as 4'Stu, is one of the outstanding basketball players Lincoln High has produced. Much of Geil's success is due to his ability to become a leader through his school life as well as his outside life. Ambition is another of GeiI's hobbies. He is always willing to undertake a great responsibility and accomplish it with favorable results. Geil is known also by big and little as a friend and pal who helps whenever he can. Lincoln will indeed miss this great athlete and leader. ROBERT R. SCHARNWEBISR, vice president, entered ninth grade at Lincoln High from Woodrow Wilson Junior High. What a lucky year for the June '35 graduating class! We gained not only an energetic athlete but also one who was destined to be one of our leaders. Studious and extremely good natured, he soon became one of the main cogs functioning in our class. His popularity and importance are illustrated by the fact that he is not only a leader in the senior class but also a leader in student government. Scharnweber's hobbies vary from sports to photographic work. He has the technique for constructing miscellaneous articles of real value. Ambi- tious will take him to college and thence into the engineering profession in which field we can confidently predict for him a brilliant success. EVA JO MASON, secretary of the June 1935 class, is one of the most popular girls in Lincoln High school. Her never- afraid-of-work policy has shown that she is ambitious, playing a slip horn in the band for two years and writing numerous articles for The Railsplitter. Throughout all of her school years she has been a foremost leader. Eva Jo has a sense of humor and enjoys good jokes. ELGIN HITE, treasurer, better known as Peewee, has grayish green eyes, dark blond straight hairy freckles and a bright smile, especially when he collects a large amount of the money for class dues. Now in his seventeenth year, Hite came from Gilman, Iowa, entering the hfth grade at Park Avenue. When this youthful leader came to Lincoln, February 18, 1929, he was four feet one inch tall and weighed 572 pounds. He is now five feet six inches tall and weighs 119 pounds. He likes three things: girls, dancing and theater. The Hite smile has made him one of the most popular boys in our class. We hope he may keep this smile always.

TENNIS During the past season the tennis team, under the direction of Aaron C. llutchens, showed good form. XVith the invita- tional meet at Oskaloosa on April Ztl, the tennis season was on its way. At this meet Lincoln placed second out of five schools, winning a third and fourth place in the singles. Bill Bowman, number one man, won third place and Roland Stebbins won fourth. The following week Oskaloosa came to Lincoln for a dual meet. ln this meet Lincoln downed Oskaloosa 4 to 2, winning two singles and two doubles matches, losing their number three and four singles matches.

At the invitational meet held at Ames on May ll, the Lincoln team came through to place third out of 14 schools, in this way heating out all tllree of the other city schools. During the latter part of the season the team went against some stiff opposition, losing to llerry, May l7, by the score of 4 to 0 and to Fort Dodge, May 18, 5 to l, Chuck Parker being the only player to win from his man. SWIMMING The swimming team, while having an unsuccessfulseason, mainly through ineligihilities, managed to get two city champ- ionships at mid-season.

VVe went over the hill, which was unimproved for practice, as well, as on the campus . . . Today's football field numbers 50 Lincoln men practicing. The l934 football season opened with 60 boys reporting for the fall sport, including five lettermen of the past season who were: Don Davis, halfhackg Robert Keefer, quarterbackg Dick Locke, tackle, Robert Scharnweber, guard, Corwin Venn, half- hack. Coach McClain hurriedly rounded his team into shape for the opening game with Perry High, September 15, 1934. The game ended in a scoreless tie. The next game scheduled was at NVinterset, September 29, l934, a night game. After a hard-fought battle the Railsplitters brought home the bacon with the final score of 6 to 0. On the night of October 6, l934, Lincoln met North High in Drake stadium for the start of the city series races. The smaller Lynx team stavcd off their heavier opponents for two grueling quarters but the weight and power of North finally proved superior and the game ended with Lincoln on the short end of the Z5-0 count. Lincoln's second city series clash was with Roosevelt in a night game on Drake's field on October IZ, W3-I. Lincoln wore itself out in the first half and again weakened in the last two frames, consequently losing the contest I4 to tl. A second open date followed, after which Lincoln and liast battled it out in Drake stadium on the evening of October 26, l934. Once more, superior weight and power proved supreme, and the eighth Railsplitter lost the battle by a score of I9 to 0. The next week Lincoln traveled to Newton and because of the muddy gridiron and a streak of ill luck, dropped that game 12 to 6. The Railsplitters, not in very good humor after that string of defeats, and seeking revenge for the year before, visited Valley junction High on the suburban field and came from behind to win the closing game of the season I3 to 6. The sound of the final gun marked the end of the prep foot- ball careers of Burton Crawford, Russel Gibbel, Robert Keefer, Dick Locke, Ralph Nelson. Corwin Venn, of the class of january, l935. and Nile Oldham and Robert Scharnweher of the june, l935, class.

Starting about March l, 1935, the track squad of about 25 boys worked out in the gym under the supervision of its new coach, Lorin ll. GraaH'. After ahout three weeks' practice the candidates hegan to thin out, many in favor of golf, tennis, or hasehall. In the city indoor meet, the hoys took 16 points getting a second in the Z4 lap ttwo-mile! relay, and thirds in the l6 lap UM milej and novice relays. The IZ lap tl milel and the 8 lap CM-milel relays took fourths. Running on the two-mile team were Downey, Ellis, Madison, and NValdcn. ln the next meet, the Valley junction relays, the two-mile relay took fifth and were harely heaten hy the fourth place team. ln the Drake Relays the one-half mile team of Camp, Downey, Ellis, and Wharff took a fourth. ln the district meet at Valley the tracksters took six points, the one-fourth mile relay team placed second in their heat and the one-half mile team taking fourth.

A first and second were taken hy the medley and two-mile relays, respectively. The one-half mile relay also took second. To make up the medley team, Coach Graaff picked Davis, lillis, Foll- well, and F. Gillotti-running one-fourth mile, one-half and 220 yards respectively. Davis and Downey took thirds in the indi- vidual one-fourth and one-half mile runs respectively. In the 100-yard dash Camp placed fourth, in the 220 Wharff took second, and a third place was taken hy the one-fourth mile relay. To show they had improved since the city indoor they took Z2 points in the outdoor meet. This can he compared to the l6 points in the indoor meet. The tvvo-mile team took third and the medley-mile, one-half mile and one-fourth mile teams took fourths. Prospects for next year's team look hright as seven of the ten men receiving letters will he hack and some strong junior track men will he seniors next season. Those receiving mono- grams include: Camp. lf. Davis, Downey. lillis, Fiske, Follwell, F. Gillotti, Madison, VValden, and VVharFf. All of these will return except Camp, Downey and Ellis.

The Senior Railsplitter ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL 1 Lincoln Undertaltes Iercentenary History One of the most interesting projects undertaken by Lincoln senior students and faculty, during this past semester, is the Tercentenary compilation of The llistory of Abraham Lincoln High School. The collecting of this school history is a part of a general project, requested by secondary schools of America, in cfnnmemoration of the 300th anniversary ol' the establishment of secondary school education in America. The production of Lincoln's history has been done under the guidance of Odessa Farley, head of the Lincoln lligh linglish department. One copy of the completed history has been placed in the tiles of the state historical department: a second copy is tiled with the State Tercentenary tfommitteeg while the third copy has been placed in the Lincoln library. The committee states in the Plan of The History that: In preparing a school history and attempting to hold the length to 3,000 words, we found it necessary to make selection from the many possible subjects that might be treated. Our method of selection has been to choose from those activities in our high school the ones that seem to us to represent our particular school and to present these in chapter treatment. Those activities that we feel are common to the greater number of Iowa secondary schools, we have presented in the form of paragraph descriptions or in graphs and charts. Today's high school building, and the ideals it en- closes, was not even a dream, 300 years ago. ltut today, Nathan II. VVeelts states in the pamphlet History of Abraham Lincoln lligh School that: Twelve years ago a hope, long held by the people ot' the south part ot the city, became a reality. A new school opened its doors to the students ot the district. 700 students took advantage of this opportunity to enroll in Lincoln junior high. In the twelve years since, the school has grown to include the Lincoln senior highg its members have in- creased to 1,7003 1,100 students have completed the course and received their diplomas of graduation. During the years of its history Abraham Lincoln lligh School has tried to till its place in the community by offering to young persons the opportunity, through its varied curriculum and its extra-curricular program, of a wide experience to ht them for fuller living in the years ahead. So does this school attempt to till its place in the building up of our community.

IOWA 0 JUNE, I935 .4 The Senior Railsplitter The Creation of Lincoln I-Iigh June seniors walk out of a high school building which was created in the minds of Des Moines men when bonds to pay for the building of Abraham Lincoln High School were voted on March 18, 1918. According to the Lincoln High Tercentenary His- tory, Samuel Bell bought the land from the govern- ment in the early fifties. VVhen it was purchased for the high school most of it belonged to his daughter, Mrs. Rachel Mosier, although there is a list of some half dozen owners besides. It was condemned for school purposes in 1919, costing the school district S-49,2S0.80, including appraiser's fees and cost of con- demnation. 1Vork was started on October 7, 1921. The archi- tectural work was given to Proudfoot, Bird and Raw- son, the general contract to E. Lovejoy, and the heating and plumbing contract went to the Van Dyke lleating and Plumbing Co. The cost of the building was S775,492.25g fixtures and furnishings increased it to a grand total of S9-l9,754.95. The ceremonies that marked the laying of the cornerstone of the Abraham Lincoln lligh School, Monday, May 16, 1922, were very impressive. W. Studebaker, the superintendent of schools, made a brief address, after which he spread the mortar and helped put the cornerstone in place. Mrs. G. Mac- Kinnon, former president of the board of education, who was largely responsible for the school in South Des Moines helped Superintendent Studebaker. One of the interested spectators at the laying of the corner- stone was Mrs. C. A. Mosier, pioneer resident of Des Moines. Rev, Mr. S. C. Wfadding, Z. Benson, and Mrs. Bert McKee were on the program. Students from the schools, contributing to the new high school, sang patriotic songs. The trowel which was used for the laying of the mortar was given Mrs. Bert McKee. The dedication of the school took place Sunday, March 9, 1924, at 3 :00 p. m., in the school auditorium, in the presence of about 2,000 persons. Superintendent Studebaker presided. Rev. Mr. C. S. Medbury of the University Church of Christ made the address. He put the life of Lincoln before the students as an example of industry, integ- rity, and perseverance. HP. B. Sherrift, member of the building committee, made the presentation and dedication speech. Mrs. R. LT. Bennett, president of the Abraham Lincoln High School Parent-Teacher Association, responded for the community, and Thelma Andrews for the students. Rev. Mr. S. C. VVadding of the Park Avenue Presby- terian church, pronounced the invocation and the Rev. Mr. E. H. Reeman, of the Church of The Open Bible, the benediction. Appropriate music was furnished by Tyne M. Buck and the North Des Moines High School orches- tra. Alfred H. Smith, director of music education in the Des Moines public schools, led community singing. 31 7 A Good Place to Trade Dial 3-743l Remember, i+'s the G.8.L. M. S.
