Again we mention Robert Frank, but this time for his brilliant work in the city oratorical contest. Coupled with this orator of the day is Doris Barr, whose bril- liant mind gave her an opportunity to represent Lin- coln in the extemporaneous contest this spring. Editors and journalists!

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.
