Hour upon hour these men liste11ed to architects, contractors, salesmen and what not and chose the design, material and equipment for this fine building. Conference after conference, meetings on into the wee hours of the morning, were held, yet these men stood loyal at their posts. Some there are who say that being a member of a board of edu- cation is a thankless task. ln this we do not agree. As boards in the past have done, you too have stood the acid test. You have weathered the storm Well and may truly feel that you may look upon your task as Hwell done , -13.- lguuccmg Fo Students of Lincoln Community High School: The most distinguished people the world has ever known agree that a common school education is the minimum preparation for successful living. Such an education enables you to read of things you wish to know and makes it easy for you to find the facts and understand them. Schooling does not give you new talentsg it only gives you increased capacity. If you are trained and disciplined to think and act -along definite lines, you can, when you go out into the world, pursue lines of action as you were taught in school to pursue lines of thought. All the schooling a person can obtain in any institution of learning will not make him master of la trade of profession. No matter what his name, his wealth, or his social standing. he must get into the strife, and push-push hard, and persistently. If there is anything you really want to Know, the chief thing you have to do is to keep after it ten-aciously and relentlessly. Education cannot be generated in the idle brain nor by half-hearted effort. It takes enthusiasm, grit, pluck, and pep to acquire learning. Have self-assurance and be eager to do your best. Education is the transforming influence of this world. Education trains the power of observation. Education develops the power of judgment. Education enlarges the power of expression. Education fosters the power of appreciation. All these powers should then be directed to one goal-the goal of service. Education! Get all you can of it! He is the best educated who is most useful, and he who is most useful is the possessor of a trained mind, body, and soul. Such balanced development will reveal truth and beauty to you as long as you live. This type of education is the living principle of the Lincoln Community High School.

Yesterday, I finally managed to get Mr, Beebe to nod his head at my single finger, frantically waving in the air, so I quietly gathered up my books ta mere pretensej and slipped out into the library. For a few moments, I wandered aimlessly around the room, looking in all the drawers, behind all the books, and in the window for a magazine, but evidently Miss Koehnle had seen to it that only those that would give useful knowledge were left. Finally I found a Pathfinder, sat down, tried to answer the questions on its cover, found that I wasvexceedingly dumb, turned to the Lucid Intervals and for a few moments satisned myself. Say Midge, don't you wish that you belonged to the class of '27, and were as brilliant as some of them? Uh-Uh!You know I believe that we'll miss everyone of those Seniors, because there's not a one of them that has not something that makes us envy him. They have friendly folk, brainy folk, sport lovers, and each has an ambition that is high. l'll say l wish I were one of them, but since that is impossible I wish that L. C. H. S. li-ad a college attached to it, so we could keep them. Yes, but after they had finished the college y0u'cl miss them just as much, and l suppose, you'd want everyone to work here in the high school. Well, for once, you're right. ,24- l iNC l You know we'll miss Mar- garet Alexander. What an ear for harmony she has and how she can make the piano send out 'musics'. Remember the keen, peppy dribbler in L. C. H. S. basket ball team, George Batman made, and how he could play football. And say, their vice presi- dent, Wilda Anderson, is also handy with her fingers. She is one of the best dressmakers of which Lincoln High can boast. Yes, and how versatile Marian Baker is. He has been prominent in the two D's, dra- matics and debate. He belongs to the Boys' Glee Club, also fur- nishing a beautiful baritone to the organization. A historical 'whiz' we find in Raymond Armbrust. No one can beat Raymond in American History, and coupled with this is his ready and hearty laugh. Yes, and the Agriculture Class wouldn't be one, if Paul Beaver were missing from it. His knowledge of agriculture is amazing. Paul also helped bring fame to L. C. H. S. by showing his powers on the foot- ball field. Mabel Austin, 'Boots', be- sides being the center on the Senior girls' basket ball team, has a host of friends, and one in particular, because she believes in the motto, 'To have a friend. be a friend'. Of course, we'll miss Joe Bennis with his teasing ways in high school, but we won't miss hearing him play the pipe organ, his greatest achieve- ment. ..25.. ,y-fiztnwccmg, E 1 Say, Midge, they say en- thusiasm is contagious, and if you ever feel blue, find Mary Branomg she just bubbles over with it. Yes, the Seniors have a mechanic in their classg Ray- mond Eurt gained his experi- ence from driving his little red racer. The feminine sex is coming into its own, for Caroline Brau- tigan has expressed the desire to become a woman of the busi- ness world. ln direct contrast to this, she is a good student of domestic science and prefers it to all other subjects. Frances Butler went to every basketball game in old L. C. H. S., lending her support and enthusiasm to the team. Alice Brennan, with her willingness to help everyone, has found a place in many hearts of the members of this school. Vvoncler if we'll have another fellow who can look as innocent rs Herman Buttel, when some- thing happens. Herman didn't do it, but 'somebody did!' He's a poet, too. Suppose Roy Bryant will ever learn to keep from stand- ing half up in class? VVhat a good business manager he made for the 'Railsplitter' this year! Yes, the class of '27 is fur- nishing another woman to suc- ceed in the business world. Darline Campbell is out to gain laurels in that Held. -26.. I mi LlNCOLNni1l A last defender of long locks, but who wouldn't defend them, if they were blessed with such curls as Aileen Carnahan has? The debate squad just realized what it had missed for three years. In his first year out for debate, William Coogan won a position on the affirma- tive team. A peculiar sense of humor we End in David Clark. Dave won a letter playing a good half- back for L. C. H. S. Sports hold la peculiar infiu- ence over Harold Croning his one desire to be sport editor on the staff of the Chicago Tri- bune. Yea Clapper!!! Mm Mm Boy!! Besides yell leading, Leroy is prominent in debate. dramatics, and gymnasium. Frances Dehner is always smiling at something. She is also an enthusiast in all sports, not missing a game. A good athlete with an ample supply of intelligence and good looks is Walter Coleman. Slide for home, Dehner! Speed up! That call thrills Fred to the marrow as he sails from third base. He says it's almost as much fun to be a spectator as a participant. -27- IITY-lf LlNCOml 'Zlosephine Donath is a willirg and helping friend to all. lf you don't know Josephine you're missing a lot! Remember the Madonna at Christmas? Thelma Garber will be ruling a little school house some day in the future. 'Pyramus, where art thou'?' ljesides being a good student of dramatic tart, William Downey likes athletics. I'll bet the Ath- letic write-ups will be good in this year's LincoInite. We Hnd another senior, Ed- ward Gleason, busily preparing for the business Held. He likes the business course offered here. Mary Ewing is a line little typist, and says she's going to be the best typist possible. Joe Gregor- is prominent in the band. Adserious mask came ouflf 'his over-supply of mis' chief. The world needs mathema- ticians, and Raymond Gimbel bids fair to supply a part of that need, for he has always ranked high in math. Howard Groves can debate as well as play the part of a grumpy old father. We can hardly tell which he does best. -28- lm-112 l.lNCO1.Nn:1l Lucile Hardy is the Seniors' running side center, and how she can play. She is determined to teach. Perseverance and steadfast- uess describes Joseph Hoinacki. Joe is bound to succeed in his Chosen work. Mail clerks are needed on the railroad, and search 1'e- xeixled to me that a railroad clerk was in the making -VVil- liam Hickey. When one saw Mary Louise Johnson going through halls with a haunted look, one knew that she was searching 'liter ature' for the Railsplitterxg dramatic reading and music in- terest her, too. An athletic coach is also of- fered by the class of '27. Frank Hindman has vouched this de- sire. t'Mollie Jones, quaintlyl erin- ing, is the LincoInite's' Joke Editor. The jokes will be peppy ones. lf I were to turn seer, I should foretell for Robert Holz- aphel a journalistic careerf Dean Jones is an enthusiast for radio. Radio building is his hobby and he is continually working with his set. -29.. I Tu: LlNCOLNn11l William Keys is one fine fel- low. How he c-an work! He made a iine business manager for 'Lincolnite' this year. A bit of sunshine compound- ed together with brains de- scribes Elizabeth Lawhead. Some day she'll be coaching the annual and Senior plays in a high school. Ruth Kasebier certainly has plenty of dramatic art. Remem- ber how well she portrayed the fussy old aunt in 'Adam and Eva'? Earle Layman, with his deep voice, suave manner and intelli- gence, is admired by all his school mates. A student that likes French is a rare specimen, and Marie Krotz is certainly rare in that respect, because her love for French can not be paralleled. 1'Harold Leonard is another student who is prominent in agriculture. The band has missed him since his illness. Caroline Laurer is another believer in Mabel Austin's mot- to, and her path is lined with cheery hello's from her many friends. Fernola Levi, the president of the Home Economics Club, is also the senior's secretary and treasurer. Both organizations know that she is dependable. -30- lffl-II LINCCLNITQI Sollie Levin is a wizard at basketball. He made the all- star sectional team and all the students were certainly proud of him. Refinement and charm which come from natural politeness make us respect and admire Robert McHenry. Football is very interesting to Mildred Lozier. She desires that, some day in the future, feminine sport lovers may be allowed to participate in this activity. Audrey Madigan, with her sweet soprano voice, made a capable song leader for the Senior Class. George Lucas is studying to become an electrical engineer- an ambition high enough to cause George to put forth his best efforts. Paul Martin is the fellow who is always quietly teasing some unfortunate, and we all like him for it. Genevieve Ludwig reads well for the public. We certainly wish we could have heard her on the gymnasium platform. Paul Martinie says that a merchant is a man to be envied and is planning to have a sign, 'Paul Martinie', blazing on the north side of the squ-are. -31- ma: LlNCoLNm, Helen Merry is part of the 'Damon and Pythias' combina- tion i11 Lincoln High, but Helen does not limit her friendship to Pythias. She does well in dra- matic art. Carl Sandburg may have a rival for the Seniors are send- ing out Walter Mouldenhauer. Walter's poetry shows excep- tional merit. Don't you think so? Emeline Miller knows a lot, but does not proclaim it to the world. 'Silence is Golden'l Wayne Montgomery, our football captain, also won a let- ter in track and ought to have one for his winning grin? Emily Miller is a. girl who is always happy and peppy. She is well liked by all who even have a small knowledge of her. A combination of the artistic, clever, subtle, and demure we find in Dorothy Moore. William Mitchell will be re- membered a long time for his 'happy-go-lucky' disposition. Geraldine Morton has energy, willingness, and tenacity of pur- pose. She has a peculiar at- traction for math. Watch Ger- rie, she'll succeed. ...32.. ,mzz LlNCol.Nni1, Frances Ogle exercises his talent in helping make the band a successful organization. We're glad he went out for it. Kathryn Patterson, with her sunny and helpful ways, is bound to succeed in nursing. - When Ronan O'Neill 'arrives' as a poet, the pupils of L. C. H. S. will be the first to congratu- late him. Josephine Perdue succeeded this year as an office girl for Mr. Handlin and we know she'll carry this success beyond high school. Did you ever notice how Alfred Orendorff always smiles in the face of difficulty? Victoria Petelinsek, another successful office girl, leaves Lincoln next year. If she takes her joyousness, she'1l not be disappointed. Bertha Otte, is another de- fender of long locks. Bertha's charm lies in her sense of humor and comradeshipf' Virginia Pheifer, the dark type of beauty, bids for a place as a stenographerf' -33.. lniz whom' Shakespeare said that God didn't give both brains and beauty to one person, but Louise Pfund certainly is a person that makes us believe that Shakes- peare was mistaken. Harold Trapp, winner of the Lincoln Essay Medal, lives up to his name 'Hearty'. Stanley Sheftic is an out- standing student in Chemistry and Physics. We hope that he may go far in the use of his skill. Howard Pippenger, with 'malice toward none, with justice for all,' the senior President, plans to be a doctor. Lawrence Shepler has won fame through his or-atorioal powers. He has dry wit and uses it at all times. Elsa Paloney is friendly, a pal at all times. Some day she'l1 be teaching. Thomas Sollars is going in partnership with Malerich and Gosset in a few years. Helen Rigg was elected editor of the 'Lincolnite' but because of ill health was forced to resign. -34- g ITUAE-dl.,liNCOl.IRl ' The scenes made by Marvin Rose have been only one item of his artistic contribution. His talents include debate, extem- poraneous speaking, and dra- matics. Mildred Sparks has aspira- tions for teaching domestic science and art in high school in a few years. Herma Sahs hasn't any defin- ite ambition except to make the world bigger and better, and from her presence here, we know that she is succeeding. Warren Sparks, a football star, enthusiastically declares that he wishes to be -an athletic coach. 'iHarold Schaffenacker, a new comer in Lincoln High School. proved his dramatic ability as H ' in inn keeper in Puc es George Starchevitch claims football for his favorite sport and proves that claim by partic- ipating in it. He chooses a busi- ness course because it's so much easier than any other. Kurt Schreiber's taste runs to art on the surface, but there is an undercurrent which shows a decided trend toward science. Raynor Thomas, our versa- tile ball captain, with his ex- uberance of spirit, could put in the baskets -and lead his team to many victories. -35- lEfZLl l Maxine Schulte iinished in January, leaving a place that somehow couldnt be filled. Dorothy Watters says she has a double ambition, one half to be a nurse, the other part to be a globe trotterf' A scientific farmer is needed by humanity and Walter Veha slage is preparing for it. 'tAnother student of nursing is Kathryn VVeitkamper. Her readiness to take up responsi- bility will win fame for her. Clara Vogel says, 'If only I could be a great musician!' She says English is decidedly her most interesting subject in high school. Robert Wertheim played football and basketball and was out for track and dramaticsg in short, Bob is our all around athlete. Virginia Walker, 'Pe'aches', had the distinction of being queen of the class of '27 for two years. ' 'That's where they play football', is Gayle Wilcox's favor- ite expression -about Lincoln High and she shows her admira- tion for this sport by attending the games. W f -36- gl?-Ti-Ll NCOLW I. Charles Parker has abundant grit. He prefers seventh per- iod to all others for napping, but he never napped on the football field. Juanita Wilkie, an enthus- iast for all sports, shows a trend toward English, and bids for a position on a high school fac- ulty. Ellis VVood has two favorite sports-as a spectator he finds baseball most interesting: as at participant, just sitting on a bank fishing is best. Evelyn VVoodward is full of fun and has a host of friends. ' Say, you fellows, do you think this is a community hall? Get back in the assembly and don't put your little noses up because you know I rlon't allow 11t'kinjg out here! ,37- -if 'FIT-TI LlNCMl LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL As a Senior Sees lt Lincoln High School is built on rock, Quite safe and sound it standsg Calmly it weathers the storm of time. And heeds not the shifting sands. Lincoln High School is built on faith In the Ruler of land and sea: He will protect it from every foe, Through time and eternity. Lincoln High School is built on love, A foundation strong and sureg It draws new strength from the source above, And by this will endure. The little things that we do each day, Seem trifles that do not count. But they are the foundation stones, On which our school must mount. I will build my house on faith and love, Like Lincoln High School.

The whole crew were determined and ready to make this journey successful. The sophisticated upper seamcn made our green little lives quite miserable for 11 few weeks, but it was not long until we got our sea-legs and sailed along with the rest of the fleet in the never-ending quest for knowledge. Though Knowedge is elusive at times, we managed to find him once in a while and succeeded in filling up the space every six weeks on the Honor Roll under the green title of Freshmen. Our recreation during our stay at this port was in the form of fliree parties. Our captain was Paul Rankin, First Mate, Edythe Dawsong -and Second Mate, Marjorie Layman. We contributed our services to the Railsplitter, the Annual, and we were represented in the Annual Play. ln '25 the crew set sail for the second port. Here we changed our names to Sopho- mores. We did much the same as we had at the first port, but the quest for knowledge seemed just a little more important to us. Our new Captain was Harry Phelang First Mate, Everett Hembreikerg Second Mate, Dorothy Henkle, who left us to join another crew and was replaced by Virginia Davis. We had our parties and again offered our services to the Railsplitter, the Annual, and plays. During our voyage our greatest pleasure and pastime was athletics and partici- pating in them. Our crew upheld the class name in football, basketball, track and golf. At the games and meets we were boosting always for L. C. H. S. One member of our crew especially honored us by his speed and grit in footballg that one was Harry Phelan. In basketball Carl Carnahan, Lewis Levin and Harry Phelan did themselves well. ln golf Clarence Primm represented us. At our third port, the .greatest honor of all the voyage was conferred upon use the privilege of entertaining the Seniors at the annual banquet.

Hcro and there the remark, Don't you wish you could belong to our class just for this one night? made the poor litt'e freshman shake his head and mutter an all too hasty No that betrayed his real feelings, The teachers noticed that the seniors seemed preoccupied all day, and no amount of persuasion could bring them down to mere daily recitations. The juniors were busy throughout the day, making furtive preparations in the gymnasium. At about three-thirty, tive junior girls came to Mr. Beebe's office in uesperation, Oh, Mr. Beebe, won't you make us some purple dye? I've bought all the purple ribbon that I could, and there's not nearly enough. The only course left is to dye white ribbon. After receiving his acquiescence, Katharine Schreiber was heard to remark, Judy, you go to town and get the ribbong I'll dye. But in spite of all their troubles, they managed to keep this dying a secret from .the seniors for a while, as Katharine appeared well and hearty that evening. As one entered the door, one could disentangle such phrases, You look very well tonight, my dear : Let's see if H- has come yet, come on g Did he ask you yet? Above all this apparent confusion, the strains of music suggested the harmony that lay beneath. Then began the bewildering task ol' finding place cards, which oi' course, were in the most unexpected places. After all were seated, and the first course disposed of, some sophomore girls dressed in purple and gold, appeared to remove plates, seemingly unconscious of tho fiattering attention of the Senior boys. The program was really more important than the food fatter it was goneb. After the diners had relaxed contentedly during the spicy toasts, Dr. Eliot Porter, who gave the speech of the evening, emphasized traits of character found in the common denominator of Amerie-an heroes which juniors and seniors will recall many times. Truly, the Juniors and Seniors will remember February 22, 1927. for many years. -42- mz uwcouwgk S O P H O M O R E CLASS OFFICERS President ,,.,..,,., .,..,.. M urgaret.

In September, six green freshies and two upper classmen entered its portals to partake of the apple of knowledge, and it is evident that this eating has made Lawndale Unit one to be admired and praised. Howard Naugle was chosen to guide this ambitious group of youngsters into fields of happiness and success. As a capable helpfrnate, Irene Prewitt was selected. Cole- man Prewitt was given the duty of keeping class records, income and expenditure. Yes, the students are working hard, and all too soon the year of '26-'27 will be a memory, but it will be a happy one.

Another item to be very much encouraged is their punctuality -and attendance records, which compare very favorably with our own records. Their work is credited as a three year high school with full credit by the North Central Association and the University of Illinois, which makes it possible for them to take their work, up to the senior year, at Broadwell and then come to Lincoln for their final year, and graduate. A big improvement this ye-ar has been laboratory instruction in General Science and the fundamental physical education. Mr. Fletcher teaches high school subjects exclusively. Mr. Hooe teaches one subject in high school and is principal of the school, having charge of the physical education program. :TT,.7i'l j' Lf f'f7'75 v - -' YP 'Q,L4',f vs? ..52...

These elements made clear and understandable by actually thinking thoughts and doing things allied to that subject and its application to society. As school activities, we have such organizations as Debate, Home Economics, Agricultural, Latin, and Glee Clubs, Band, Orchestra, and our school publications: The Railsplitter and the Lincolnite. True, each of these has its particular charm for its individual members. I have no desire to be a member of the Ag Club g I cherish my membership in the Debate Club and yet the same type of benefits is derived from each. 'The girl in the Home Ecs. Club learns to fry the overalls and mend the onions that she may gain the lifelong favor of her sun-tanned admirer who grows the Ufattest hogs on the least amount, but best quality corn produced by the members of the Ag. Club. In the Latin Club the girls can lose themselves in the myth of everliving superstitious or the enchantments of a kind Roman beauty as she glides leisurely but gracefully across a marble floor, bedecked with scenes of gallant victory, to the pillowed lounge where she reclines and draws before her mental images of the most daring general of the campaign tand guardian of her hearty, as he charges forward into the enemy's lines with an unfaltering fear, or as he leads back his men, gay and victorious, to the peacetime quarters. 'Those members of the Band, Orchestra, and Glee Clubs soon learn from actual experience the horrifying, unmusical aspects of musical melee. Those poor, pitiable, overworked pupils who are dragged into the pits of Railsplitter and Annual activities, readily and continually learn with what promptness and completeness a community of people rally to the support of an institution, designed for the com- munity's own pleasure and advantage, in that the people are entirely content to let the officials run the whole thing, and ibear all the bl-ame and be the bull's eye for all the criticism.J The above constitutes, in a satirical way. some of the charms each particular activity has for its members, but there is another and more serious side to school activities. It is in the school activities that a pupil learns the place for his talents and personality among people. A student misses one of the greatest opportunities a school offers if he does not take p-art in one or more of its various activities. A person may study minds and mental works, through the medium of books, for a life- time, and yet not be an educated person. One is educated only when he is -able to fit himself, his accomplishment, and his possibilities, into the affairs of men. It is the doing of things, the mingling with people, the glory of triumph that seasons and makes palatable and digestible the foods of our texts. Nothing serves better this pur- pose than our Literary, Athletic and Musical activities. It is the accomplished purpose of school activities to teach that inexpressible art of getting on with people, of being tolerant to divers characteristics, ideas, and opinions, to teach one how to attain freedom and grace in the use of his physique, his talents, and his knowledgeg to enable students to place themselves on speaking terms with subjects theretofore far distant, useless, or entirely out of the pale of their ability. School activities are an integral part of the whole program of school education. Hail! heartily and wholly, to school activities. -Howard F. Pippenger. -55- l NC l DRAMATICS Under the supervision of Miss E. Carty, Dramatic Art has flourished this year. XVith sixteen members i11 the class, it has furnished many enjoyable entertainments for the students of Lincoln High, Ill the class work, the story of the stage was taken up, step by step, starting with the Greek stage and following its development up to the present time. Aristotle's Three Units were dwelt upon, as well as the Do's and Don'ts of acting, which proved very useful and essential after the real work had begun. Hardly a program has slipped by without a contribution from the dramatics classg many beautiful settings have been made by the class or its representativesg plays have been presented at many of the school and church programs in the community. And who could forget My Lincoln's Scrap Book ? Had not the students known that the Dramatics class was producing it, they could easily have been convinced that Honest Abe himself had returned, with all the humbleness and sympathy which undeniably made him a man of his people. l During 'Dramatic 'Weekf' February 14-18, the community was given an oppor- tunity to see every member of the class in a play. The class presented six one-act plays that week. The Dramatic Art department took a very active part in presenting PICKLES, an operetta. At present, the class is prominent in the Senior Play, IF I WERE KING. -.56, lrmli LINCOLNIMI DEBATE 19264927 Starting out with a brand new question and with Mr. Parker, the coach, in a new 1'oom 011 the third Hoor, we just couldn't help but come out on top in our iirst debate, which was held on Friday, April 8, in 316 with Decatur. Of course the loss of the negative held us down some, but we still stayed in the conference. Directly after the Christmas vacation the question was given out: Resolved: That the Philippine Islands should be granted their independence within tive years. Tryouts were soon held and those still on the squad were Marion Baker, other- wise known as t'Prove-it g How-ard Grove, known to his friends as Pouzzums g t'Peewee Clapper, called Leroy by his motherg Larry Sheplerg Hardy Trappg Jimmy Vaughng 'Martha' Rose, called Marvin by someg Henry'i Traub, also called Daveg a newcomer that we call William Coogan, was added to our group. Out of this heterogeneous mass task Coach Parker what it meansb, it was the duty of Mr. Parker to carve a couple of debate teams worthy to represent old L. C. H. S. He did his best and the results were first viewed by the assembly on the morning of April 8, on the gym- nasium stage with Prove-it, Larry and Pouzzums representing the negative. On the af- firmative team reposed the famous Henry Traub-who has now completed his third year of debate work and is only a Junior-William Coogan, and Martha Rose. The negative team which went to Decatur, was defeated by a 3-2 decision. The same night that the negative team met its Waterloo, the affirmative team opened tire on Decatur and an audience of about seventy-five people up in the old assembly room. After about two hours of heated discussion the judge, who was Mr. Harper from Normal, decided to give our side four points and let Decatur go home with one point. There was great jubilation in the town that night. The fact that we had won a 4-1 decision placed us up a rung on the Big Twelve ladder, which hoisted our hopes somewhat. This carried us through the preliminary round, which meant that our teams meet Danville, April 26. We were defeated in two very close debates by a score of 6-4. -57- ,ifi.7'iijiNczcmi, BAND Officers lm-siilviii .,...,,,,, ,,,, , , Ali-lvin liaker Vice-I'resirlent ,,,,,, Francis Ogle Set-i'etai'y ,,,,,,, ,,,..,,.,....,,,,. ,.,,,,.. ,,,,. . l 1 Jsoph Gregor Personnel Clarinet Cornet Alto Earl Loyd Dan La Valle Lambert Healey Homer Alu-y Orville XVerth Baritone Paul Rankin Francis Ogle Bass Alvin Barnes Glenn Hoagland William Brown Joseph Gregor Milton Cooper George Gelbach Paul Davidson llarold Leonard Samuel Keys Trombone Thomas Sollars Henry Galuska Carl Feldman .Iohn lienning Ross Dickson Glenn Miller Drums Dale Wasson Robert Trapp Melvin Baker Leroy Clapper XVilliam llurt At the beginning of the school year Prof. Merry was confronted with the task of developing an almost entirely new band. About ten fellows of a year or more experi- ence and the rest of the members of the beginning band practiced every VVednesclay Hlld Friday from eight till nine. As progress developed we practiced school songs, marches and finally a few con- cert pieces. We played at all football and basketball games a11d at several school activities, including Dedication. Although the band is 1lOt an equal with the one we had last year, good progress has been made and prospects are bright for next year with practically all members returning. ,58- 1 frTJfT.lNCoiNEg ORCHESTRA Starting with a handful of musicians eight years ago, the orchestra has become an organization of thirty members, all of whom belong to the high school. The orchestra is developing gradually toward a symphony orchestra. Our first appearance this year was at the Kiwanis luncheon. The music for the Lincolnite pl-ay, the Teachers' Institute in November, as well as their banquet in February, was supplied by our talent. We also appeared on the program for dedication. As we have been rehearsing regularly, twice a week in the mornings, we have put forth all our energy to make our orchestra a successful one. We have been working diligently on the following selections: On the Riviera, by R. Gruenwaldg P'araphrase on Annie Laurie, by C. W. Bennetg Fifth Nocturne, by J. Leybacht. We have also been working on other difficult ones from which we shall select numbers for our annual spring concert. 'The orchestra has progressed, for we have many new members who are talented and have the will to do fine work. This success and progress is due to the en- thusiasm which the members take in attending the rehearsals regularly and to the leadership of our well known director, Professor H. O. Merry. -59- IIT!-T-ILINCCMI BOYS' GLEE CLUB Because Lincol11 High School has only one glee club for boys, it consists of mem- bers from all years ol' high school, 'This club has proved its worth to us this year in its many public appearances, and oh, how we longed for its return. Thirty energetic students make up the glee club, which represented Lincoln High School in the State contest held in Decatur. The members of the club who were in the operotta, t'l'ickles , made known that besides possessing songsters. dramatic students were counted in its membership. Miss Terhune, the director of the club. has been skillful i11 obtaining the finished work from this group. Four members of the club, Paul Rankin, Marion Baker, Earl Layman and VVarren Sparks made up a male quartette which pleasingly entertained on various occasions as well as singing at several dinners and community clubs. We lose all but Paul and will miss them much. -60- 'ITT'-l-li:-'l.l NCQLWII Cl-IORAL CLUB The Choral Club is one of the most interesting musical organizations in L. C, H. S. This year, our director, Miss Terhunc, decided to form an honorary musical organi- zation, called the Choral Club, because there were too many girls in the Advanced Girls Glee Club, An examination was required for entrance: this exam required Z1 vocal try-out of all applicants for membership. Tone, sight-reading and the theory of music were the essential requisites, The thirty-five girls who were chosen for this club began a most successful year and by hard work we mastered some very difficult selections. Our first public appearance was before the assembly. After this we appeared on a number of programs, among them, the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, the teachers' and farmers' institutes well as dedication. ln March, we started work on the operetta, PIUKLES. Our club furnished all of the girls for it. After this we turned our attention to the Rib Twelve Contest which was held at Decatur. From that time we worked very hard in class work and special rehearsals on the contest piece, DAVVN, by Culnan. Aside from public appearances, individual members have sung for the club in order that they might feel at ease before an audience. Thus our year has been profitably spent, each girl trying to do her best that she might show her esteem for Miss Terhune. -61.. A i l llflff. .LINCOMII Ili GIRIJS BEGINNING GLEE CLUB In the Beginning Girls' Glee Club, composed for the most part of freshmen, Maurine Clapper was chosen for president, and Elizabeth Bicknell for librarian. The club has accomplished much this year. VVe started in, of course, with easier two-part songs, and worked to the more difficult three-part songs. We appeared before the assembly, where We sang two numbers, and again on Music Day, when a trio was picked from our club, consisting of Selma Anderson, Dorothy Sanders and Margaret Starkey. On Dedication Day, the club was asked to sing again. The most delightful invitation has been to sing on baccalaureate night. That made us feel that we had accomplished something. Our club wishes to express its thanks to Miss Terhune for the effort she has put forth to make it a real one. H62- , ,...A, A- I I?UI,Ll NCOLEI I TER NUS Tho Inter Nos Latin t'lub was organized i11 Ovtober by tht- Latin students under the advisorship of Miss Reed, Miss l-lenninger. and Miss Killough. The purpose of this club is to increase tl1e app1'eciz1tio11 of Roman life and literature. The following officers were c-hosen for the year: Ponsuls, David Traub and Margret Alexaiiderg praetor, Franvis Butlerg quaestor, Maxine Traubg aediles. Elnore La Huw, Franc-is Hagans, Le Roy Clapper, and XValter COIQIHZIII. All sec-ond and third year students of Latin are eligible, and first year students are adniitted upon 0X2l11ll1liltl0l1. The n1o11tl1ly meetings have all been vt-ry t'IllQl't1:1ll1lllS.f as well as instrut-tive. Xt our Iirst rrgular meeting Miss Reed gave an interesting account, of her trip through italy, showing us pictures of Various plaws visited and several obeets purvhased there. Six boys of our club preseiited a play at tl1e Dec'e111ber meeting. entitled, tSatu1'nalia. Tl1e characters spoke their lines in Latin and gave us a glimpse of Romans relebrating the HSHflll'Il3.1lB. , a series of holidays during tl1e month ot' De- vember. Ill February we enjoyed a set of slides picturing the Roman house, its d,l'1'3.I1gQII18llf, and furnit,u1'e. l11 addition to these things, we have sung Latin songs, read Latin poems, played Latin games, and heard essays on Roman life. VVe celebrated Valentine's Ilay by a party, at which we showed our skill i11 writing love messages ill Latin, most of which were quite intelligible, too. We think we have had a profitable time tl1is year and are looking forward to a still better tin1e next year. -63- ,mzz LINCOLNHQ THE AGRICULTURE CLUB When the three classes ot' Agriculture boys niet at the beginning of the year. they showed an enrollment of thirty boys.

The Agrivulture Club boys then planned a party and entertained the lloxne Evonomiccs girls with a Christmas party. The Freshman class has been taking up the study of corn, dealing with both the types and the diseases. They also studied the different kinds of weeds. The Sophomore class has been taking up the subject of t'Feeds and Feeding, The Livestock Markets, as well as judging. 'The Juniors and Seniors are taking up the principles of banking and Federal Loans. The second semester work has been taken up in the Manual Training shop on plans i11 Wood working. -64- ,f4i:'I.nNcouWl, HOME ECO OMICS The Home Economics Club of L. C. H. S. is an active organizations. Our meetings are held after school the third Thursday in every month. The programs for these meetings are always different and are interesting and educational. VVe always t1'y to have something that will be helpful to the girls, either at the present time or later on in life. We have had a Dramatic Club Play, Music Falk by Miss Terhune, Travel Talk by Miss Reed, Health Talk Slides by Miss Car- diff, Draperies and Rugs by Mr. Lutz, and a Valentine Luncheon. We try to develop initiative so as to give the girls a chance for development and to encourage them in appearing before a group in iioor talks, plays, etc. XVG also try to encourage phases of home economics work given in classes by style shows and demonstrations. VVe have done much during the year as an organ- ization but we hope to increase and develop each year. W'e wish to emphasize regularity in attendance in school and club. If a person is a member he should attend regularly, for at the present, going to school is his Job. The same is true of the Home Economics Club. The improvement of health is a topic that is very important, and various pupils have given floor talks on it. The Home Economics Club tries to create a greater interest among high school girls in home economics work. VVe think this topic, above all others, should be emphasized. Economics work is very essential and many girls do not care for it because they believe it to be only cooking and sewing. Students of Home Economics realize that the scientific and practical work in clothing and foods is important. Many do not realize the educational values. It is perhaps better realized after having had a course in Home Economics, and 0116 realizes the many valuable, useful and educational things she has learned and can use. Vile are very proud of our vocational Home Economics Club Pin.' Any girl who belongs to the Home Economics Club may purchase one of these pins. -65.. lE'f1lLlNC6 ll S Q12 frabtii A 5 ' ll, ,M 2-?X-tn?..,sEf,p , .V LBL41 X x.. 9' 6 l ll 'I A 'fp s -129' ' 'a X pi .

Faculty Critics .,,,..,,,,,,,,,.,,............,,..r..........,,..,,, Misses Koehnle and VVhetsler What is a high school without a school paper? lt amounts to practically nothing and is usually considered a failure. ls Lincoln High a failure in this respect? Absolutely not, if our magazine is taken as an indication. THE RAILSPLITTER is published monthly seven times a year from October through April. lts main object is to bring variation into the daily routine of classes and studies, to reveal student life and to at least equal the standard set by staffs of previous years. To issue a high school paper allll to please everybody is indeed a difficult task. The staff is made up of students journalistically inclined who are tried out in the fall and positioned as to their ability. This year the staff was composed of a group of willing workers. The students, too, contributed to us in fine style. They also stood behind the Railsplitter financially. The subscription list of 1926-1927 nearly doubled the one of last y6kl1'. We feel that this alone is p1'oof of a successful season. Our paper, however, does 11ot depend solely upon the support of subscribers. The EitlV9l'tlSGl'S, as in all other publications, come in for their share. lt is they who really 'tmaken our paper. Many improvements and new departments appeared this year. The VVho's VVho brought deserving Seniors to the front and the Monthly Calendar, lnquiring Reporter and Alumni column rated high among the interesting items. The Tournament issue of March was something new and went over big. Suffice to say, the Railsplitter has just passed a year of which to be proud and we hope that the line spi1'it displayed this year will be shown throughout the future. ...SS- ATHLETICS r- 5' Til M ,bf V . f', : if ,,g '3iw xg?

FOCTBALL Blessed with a weal.h of material, of which fourteen men were letter men and a number numeral men from last season, the football outlook was most encouraging at the beginning of the season. When Coach Anderson issued the first call some seventy-five men reported, and strenuous practice was begun for our first game, which was with Illiopolis only two weeks after the opening of school. Illiopolis was easily defeated, 20 to 0, in a slowly and poorly played game. Our next game was with the strong Mt. Olive crew, which presented a very for- midable attack and went home with a 16 to 0 score in their favor. Lincoln was clearly outplayed in this game by a team that went through the season undefeated and con- sidered by numerous critics 'as the champion of Southern Illinois, if a champion were to be selected. On the following Saturday, in a game that was played on a muddy field that had been under water for the most part of the week, we were hosts to our old time rivals from the Capitol City, Springfield, whom we easily defeated by an 18 to 0 score. incidentally it was Lincoln's first victory in the Big Twelve Conference since entering it a year ago. Our next game, which was to be our first away from home, resulted very ,disastrously for us, for we were defeated by the strong Pekin team, which later tied with Champaign for the championship of the Conference. They defeated us by a 16 to 0 score. On the next week-end, we met the strong St. Mary's High School, city champs of Bloomington. 'The game was hard fought throughout, and a pass over the goal line into the arms of Bennington, St. Mary's right end, was the only score of the day and caused Lincoln to suffer its third defeat of the season. The next week was our homecoming, and Bloomington was to be our opponent. lt was the first meeting of these two schools since that memorial day at Bloom- ington two years ago, when the Bloomers upset all dope and handed our Central Illinois champs a 17 to 10 defeat. 'The day was ideal for football and the Railsplitters romped through, over and between the Purple and Gold clad warriors from Blooming- ton to the tune of 30 to 0, outclassing them in all departments of the game. The result was sweet revenge for the defeat received at the hands of Bloomington two years ago. Our next game was another conference game with the Decatur pigskin toters, whom we met for the first time, and we handed them a 14 to 6 defeat on their own field. The following week we were to play our last conference game, that with Peoria Mztnual, and after a heart-breaking gam'e, we were defeated by a 14 to 6 score. After trailing by one point for three quarters we opened up with p-asses in a vain attempt to break through Peoria's defense but Capt. Wolf of Manual intercepted one of these long passes and ran 55 yards for a touchdown that spelled defeat for us. Taking all in all, the season was very successful. The team won five out of nine games. Among the wins registered, those over Springfield, Decatur and Bloomington were the outstanding ones. This is the first time that a Lincoln team has been able to register wins over such strong teams as these in one season. Although the Railsplitters lost four games, only two of these were conference games and were lost by close scores. With thirteen lettermen graduating, the prospects would seem rather dim for the L. C. H. S pigskin toters, but Coaches Anderson and Hunter will have a world of promising material and seven lettermen back for the fold next year who should repre- sent their school with one of the best teams that has been seen on the local gridiron in many years. -70.- .ilfruz LINCOLNIQI W f' 1 IVF-T1 LINCGIRH BASKETBALL SQUAD SEASON'S RECGRD Lincoln, 5 Elkl1zu't, 18.

' The record was impressive in that some mighty strong teams had to be brushed aside before the locals could attain these heights. The Railsplitters came mighty ciose to going into the slate tournament with the final eight surviving teams in the state eliniination. Tho Hrst ccmbinatcn was broken in the first semester by the loss of George l'a'1nan, who had played regularly for four years, and was a main cog in an almost perfect machine that lcst only two games out of eleven played. The loss of Batman looked like a death blow but Anderson, after weeks of ex- perimenting, finally hit on an aggregation that when finally tuned up, showed great power on the offense and almost impregnable defense. In twenty-six games played, Lincoln won nineteen and lost seven. The locals scored 710 points to their opponents' 538, an average of 27 2-3 points per game to their opponents' 20 1-3. ' 'The loss of the county tournament by the small margin of one point was a heartbreaker. Although Lincoln was doped to win easily by most dopesters, it seemed as though the cld jinx was still there and Mt. Pulaski, our time-honored rivals from the Hilltop, emerged victorious by a 29 to 28 score. The District tournament was captured in a much easier fashion. Elkhart was defeated by a 35-32 score, and Atlanta by the score of 26 to 20, thus putting Lincoln into the semi-finals with Latham, Mt, Pulaski, Hartsburg. Lincoln and Mt. Pulaski were picked by many to meet in the finals, but Latham pulled the biggest upset in Central Illinois when they defeated Mt. Pulaski in a red-hot battle, 30 to 29, in a game that required two overtime periods. to decide. Lincoln easily disposed of Hartsburg, handing them a 36 to 16 drubbing. In the championship game the Red and Green boys were hitting on all fours and drubbed Latham in the finals by a score of 33 to 18, thus giving Lincoln its first district championship. The following week the Sectional tournament was held at Jacksonville and Lin- cold drew as its first opponent Quincy, whom the locals defeated 26 to 20, placing them in the semi-finals with Jacksonville, whom they defeated in a very close game by a 20 to 18 score, -and giving them the right to meet Athens in the finals. The Athens game was a very interesting and hot game and Athens emerged victorious, Nevertheless the season was a big one, and everyone is looking forward to next year. I We are very glad for the new gymnasium which accounted for the success of this season. ..74-. ... 'ffl-II Ll NCOLNITI1 '- CRQSS COUNTRY TEAM On October first a call was made for runners to represent the high school in the cross country race, which was to be held at Springfield. About twenty-five boys answered the call although some dropped out later in the season. Mr. Sutherland coached the runners on the city track across from the high school. Gallagher, Coleman, Barnes, O'Neil and Berger were chosen as the team to represent the school Thanksgiving day at Springfield, where they competed with the other teams, which make the Big Twelve. The boys had a very hard course to cover, running in mud and water over ankle deep. Gallagher finished sixth, Coleman twelfth, Barnes seventeenth, O'Neil twentieth and Berger twenty-sixth. The boys had to run one and a half miles, which the winner made in 8:25. Danville took first in the race, Decatur, secondg Mattoon, thirdg and Lincoln, fourth, these being the only teams to qualify. -75- ,ml uwccml, - . -as? TRACK 1926 The first meet entered was the Wesleyan invitational meet held at Bloomington, wlzere Bill Lane captured first i11 the quarter mile and Captain Si Glick grabbed off three medals in the shot-put, high jump, and standing broad jump. The county meet was lost for the lirst time since its origin five years ago, -and then by the small margin of 3 points. Mt. Pulaski carried off the laurels in the meet, due to some spectacular running on the part of Manes, their captain. Glick, Lane, Batman, Wertheim, and Coleman were Linc0ln's point getters. ln the Big Twelve meet, Lincoln placed seventh, due to some brilliant running by Lane, Batman, and Coleman, and some excellent work in the field events by Glick and VVertheim. In the state entry meet, Coleman was the only local entry to place, he captured third in the 880 yard run. 1927 The sixth annual Logan county track meet was held this year at the Atlanta fair grounds and Lincoln presented a well balanced team.which walked away with the meet, capturing 32 points, 10 points more than their nearest rival, Mt. Pulaski, last year's winner. Coleman, the Red and Greens versatile star, was high point man of the meet, capturing two first and a second for a total of 13 points.

XVith the completion of the new gymnasium the necessary facilities for holding such classes were complete. About one hundred and fifty boys are now enrolled in the classes which meet two days a week under the supervision of Mr. Anderson. Two years of Physical Training is required for every boy before he is allowed to graduate: boys who are out for the different athletic teams are exempt from these classes. The main object is to develop the body as well as the mind during the adolescent stage of the boy's life. Track, indoor baseball, basketball and gymnastics are the courses which the boys go through for the year. A great help to the boys this year was the public school athletic Held across from the high school, which provided a place to hold outdoor classes when the weather permitted. -78- IHGKLINCOL-XSEI GIRLS' GYM CLASSES Tl1e year of 1926-'27 marks a revival of basketball for girls in L. C. H. S. For several years basketball, as well as other forms of athletics for girls, was out of the question, due to the lack of -adequate room for conducting practices. However, after the completion of the IIGW' gymnasium this last fall, great enthusiasm for girls' basket- ball has been shown. Last fall, an announcement that anyone wishing to go out for basketball could do so regardless of whether or not she was a member of some gym class, brought out about one hundred girls, the majority being from the under classes. Previous to the opening of the basketball season Miss Himes, instructor of the girls' classes, had been giving her pupils various games and exercises preparatory to actual basketball coach- ing. Practise in various games and passes, basket-shooting and free throwing was given. After the season actually opened, a schedule was worked out whereby squads, classified according to the year in high school, could practise. Though the season this year was not developed as it should have been and prob- ably will be in the future, the girls were able to have an inter-class tournament. The sophomores not only captured the boy's tournament this year but also the girl's. 'The results of the tournament were as follows: Honors were given as follows: sophomore first team, firstg sophomore second team, secondg junior Hrst team, third. The captain of the first teams were: seniors, Gayle Wilcox, juniors, Margaret Ptaszekg sophomores, Jeanette Johnnishong freshmen, Mary Alice Adams. Good sportsmanship was the noteworthy thing throughout the entire tourney. Girls' basketball has taught ideals of good sportsmanship to many girls. Besides the ideals taught, the girls learned to form systematic habits of living by following training 1'ules. It is hoped that in the next seve1'al years girl's basketball can be made to come into more prominence as boy's has. More efficient and better trained players will be produced, as those who have had one year of coaching will improve greatly and will be as an incentive to incoming freshmen. ..79.... lfll-72 l GOLF The golf team, composed of Clarence Primm, Walter Bohn, Leland Spitzbarth and Floyd Wilson and coached by Mr. Beebe, had the honor of going through the season undefeated. 'The first match was with Bloomington and the locals won, 3 to 1. Springfield was defeated twice by the drivers of the Irons. The first win was on the local Country Club course and the second was on the Bunn Park course in Springfield. In the Big Twelve team play, Lincoln captured the first foresome and our ace, Pete Primm, captured individual honors by turning in the lowest score of the day. In the state finals Pete placed fifth, and as he has two more years in L. C. H. S., he should be able to capture the first place in the state tournament before he leaves. Although Bonn and Spitzbargh were lost by graduation, a number of promising candidates are out working for a place on the team and this year's team should sur- pass the record set by last year's team even though the team of '26 set a 1'ecord of which very few prep schools in the state have been able to boast. TENNIS The Tennis team was composed of doubles: Richard Jacobs and Jack Martin. Rayner Thomas held down the singles. The tennis team had no matches with other schools during the short time that was allowed to get in readiness for the Big Twelve matches which were held at Springfield along with the other contests. Thomas drew for his opponent, Jacquith, the ace of the Springfield aggregation and the winner of the singles matches. For a while it looked as though Freak would D9 a winner, for at three different times he lost the point due to some lopsided volleying. If he had got the balls within the court he would have won the match. The results were 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. r The doubles team played some excellent tennis and earned its way up to the semi- finals but lost to Decatur only after some great tennis was displayed. The locals fought till the finish only to lose to a team that was one of the best doubles teams in the state high schools last year, -80- , LITERARY f ' A 1 . x 1 . , u -,f 4. ',. 4 ,t - 1 , .

But a hiking party, said she, would be such an opportunity for you to meet the other girls. Goodnight! I was tired of this eternal hoping of meeting some girl who liked the things I liked, who was not so silly, such a piece of statuary, who did not talk so much and say so littleg might as well start hunting for the Holy Grail. Most of them made me sickg I could not appreciate their winning waysg to be explicit, I felt above them. I pouted disgustingly and said nothing. And you don't know this part of the countryg you-why-you might get lost. argued Aunt Marge. Lost! L-O-S-T? I yelled and flopped down on her new sofa with the grace of a wild woman. Of course this piece of dramatic art was the end of it. Aunt Marge was too nice to make me do anything I absolutely didn't want to do. Certainly I could go and go by myself too. I went up to dress while Aunt Marge got my lunch ready. It was almost eleven when I started. I felt good, very good. In the first place a new uair of knickers that will stay where they are put, a real mannish shirt and a cow- boy hat don't make anybody feel bad. Also, I knew that in a small town, a well mounted visitor is an attraction. I was conscious of glances cast at me from back yards and other handy places and my popularity was not altogether displeasing to me. Throughout it all, I assumed an air of boredom and aloofness and walked with all the poise that I could manage. I followed the street, on which my aunt lived, out of town. The spirit of adventure was thrilling me. My thoughts tingled with the prospect of a good old harum scarum day. I had no idea what was before me but I hoped for something extraordinary. That was when I started. Not far in the distance were the mountains, at least that is what Uncle John called them, though I realize th-at one never can go by what a teasing uncle says. It was July and so it was hot-hot and dusty. The farmers must have thought I was crazy, plodding through the dust in such a heat just for fun. I was glad when I reached the shade of one of the trees. I sat down to rest. How I had looked forward to hunting new specimens to add to my botanical collection! New that I was there I was aware of undeniable enemies as far as they were con- cerned, in fact, although I would not admit it at the time, I believe nevertheless, eating, for me, is always a sort of contentment. I pulled a sandwich made of a thick piece of deliciously seasoned ham, out of my lunch sack. It was too deliciousg it made someone else hungryg a lonely pleading shep- W if -83- IITL-12 UNCOLNITZI I- herd dog came up to me. I could not refuse him. I have in my heart a brotherly affection for dogs, even greater than my love of edibles. However, I did not enjoy my sandwich to its fullest for I was not comfortable. To me, the ideal way to be eating, is to have one's feet hanging over the banks of a creek. With the dog at my heels, I went in search of it. The task seemed hopeless but fate smiled kindly upon us and brought us to a pretty little stream where we finished our lunch in perfect comfort. I love water, and who doesn't on a hot July day? I wished for my bathing suit, or my! how great a fishing tackle would be. My eyes wandering over on the other side of the stream, I spied a bird marked strikingly with yellow. I was not familiar with it so from force of habit, 1 slipped my hand in my pocket to bring out my bird guide, when to my sorrow, I remembered I had not taken it out of my trunk. Thoughtless one that I was! 'The only thing left for me to do was to amuse myself with a wade in the creek, which I did. The water felt wonderfully cool to my aching feet. Suddenly my friend, the dog, splashed into the water and in his mouth was my stocking. Imagine my intense anxiousness! I hoped he was only playing. I was wrong there. He went over to the other side through the woods and in the desperate hour that I waited, never came back. That was the dog's appreciation of my kindness--the dog for whom I had had such an affection. At about three o'clock, having put on what footwear I possessed, I turned back to the town I had left that morning at eleven. My shirt was fit for a pig pen. I sin- cerely hoped that all the residents along that prosperous looking street were napping. Never did I so wish for a total eclipse of the sun as when I sneaked down that street -but this was nothing. When I arrived home, sitting out in my aunt's sh-ady yard was a group of pretty, spotless, laughing girls, ready to welcome me home. I was mortified-completely. -Frances Heitman, '28. AN OCTOBER SUNSET The maple leaves reflect the ruddy glow 'That liames like firelight in the western skiesg The tall oaks standing silent in a row Flaunt their red ensigns proudly in my eyesg The chestnuts softly count their ho-arded goldg The poplar's store of silver tinkles low, As Jack Frost shakes them with his fingers cold, And chilling autumn winds begin to blow. The river, yonder, hides in veils of gray Like incense on the altar of the dayg Which slowly rise in ever widening ringsg And in the woods a bird his vespers sings. But where the hilltops meet the clouds there lies The crowning glory of October skies. -Walter Moldenhauer, '27, W f I -84- 'N .. 'ffl-IZ .LINCOLNITQ THE UNVEILING The white capped waves danced with uncontrolled fury and beat against the beach as if in anger on that fatal spring afternoon. The wind was rising with incred- ible swiftness. A few fishermen's boats dotted the beach and the only signs of life were the sea-gulls screaming overhead and a few old fishermen sitting on their dories and skiffs, some mending their fishing nets, while others were idly engaged in conversation. The ol' pond's stirred up this even', one grizzled old sea-dog remarked. I'd be afeared to be on her with a ship. 'Twould be hard to steer her in this blast. The incoherent mumbles of the others indicated their assent to this. As if to verify his statement, the shrill whistle of a ship in distress reached their ears. They all started up in horror, especially Mr. Allen, a visitor on the beach, whom they termed a 'land-lubberf' Far out at sea they saw the steamer from which issued the calls for help. It was floundering helplessly and seemed about to sink. The fishermen realized the danger, and soon were in position to help the distressed ship, They sent Mr. Allen to inform the life-saving station a short distance away. Three or four of the other men took a life-saving boat and started towards the sinking ship. As they neared the steamer they saw it was too late. The boat was sucking 'he water around it and the men noticed the danger of going closer. 'The after part of the ship was under water and the rest of the bulk was dis-appearing rapidly. All of the passengers had gone under water except a baby about three years of age. The helpless, innocent thing was clinging to a bed pillowg its mother had tried to save it by tying it to a bed pillow. It was an easy task to rescue him. The men on the life-saving ship gathered the child in their rough arms and wrapped him in a damp coat. His sobs for mamma gradually ceased and he fell asleep from sheer exh-austion. The stern faces of the old men softened as they watched the sleeping child. The men soon looked up the record of the ship that had sunk. They found it to be an Italian steamer carrying thirty immigrants to America from Italy. A large group of spectators had gathered on the beach. They strained their eyes as the men lifted up the sleeping child. The next problem was to dispose of him. The fishermen were unable to take him because they were away from home so much of the time, and some of them had no home. Poor babe, it's a shame he couldn't have gone with the rest. He's only a little Hunky and nobody will want him, sighed one of the men. Mr. Allen stood looking on. As the last fisherman spoke, tears came to his eyes and he said, I'll take him. I have four of my own but I guess this little fellow won't take up much room. The next day the little Italian was placed in an American home. The Allens lived in the suburbs of New York. Although they were a poor family, everything was tidy and clean about the house. Mrs. Allen was a true Christian mother and her four children worshipped her. Mr. Allen worked in the steel mills not far distant from their home. The child was welcomed to the Allen's home and was adopted and christened William Allen. As William grew to manhood he grew to love Mr. and Mrs. Allen as he would have loved his own parents. He had no recollections of his people, and there was only one thing that caused him to think of his life in Italyg this was a gold locket of unique engraving which he wore on the afternoon he was rescued. 'The locket contained the picture of a beautiful lady, who, Mrs. Allen told him, was his real mother. When he was just a child he treasured it above everything else. N f' -85.. I Ti-II l.INCOlNrrz1l ... Willi-am started to school when he was six years of ago. He lingered behind and became the dullest in his class in everything except painting. That was his specialty and he loved it more than anything else. He won much fame as an artist before he had been graduated from the common schools. Some of his pictures had been sold and he had received va reasonable price for them. His art teacher advised that he be sent to a school of art because she realized he was a natural artist, and wished to see what he could do when he had a chance. Mr. Allen felt he was not able to send him to an expensive school, but he did the best he could. William progressed -and showed astonishing ability. He was always happy when he was painting. In the midst of his happiness a crash came in his life. Mr. Allen, on his way home from work, was struck by an automobile and his arm was broken. The accident rendered him unable to work for several months. Mrs. Allen took up the burden, but it proved too heavy for her and her health began to fail. William, as he w-as not progressing so well in his school Work, because of his worry over Mr. Allen, decided to leave school and help to earn a living until Mr. Allen was able to resume the task again. When William told his mother that he was going to help her it almost broke her heart. There was nothing she wanted her children to have so much as an education. William told her he was disgusted with his school work and finally she consented to his quitting school. It was an ideal spring day when William started to search for a position. Ordin- arily he would have been happy, but the heavy responsibility weighed on his spirits. He soon found a department store in need of a delivery boy. The position was not much to his liking but its meager returns were a help. That night at supper, William announced his wish to attend art school at night. His mother was afraid it would be too hard on him to carry such a burden on his shoulders all day working, then at night to go to school. She finally consented to let him go, but before, he must promise to stop at once if it proved too strenuous. William promised faithfully. That night in his room William pondered over his new problem. This was one of the rare times he felt he needed sympathy. He sat wistfully looking out into the night and he considered his future. He could see nothing worth while, only a life of drudgery. Why had he been so backward in school? Oh! if he only had someone in whom to confide! He picked up the locket which he loved so dearly, and he looked long and tenderly into the beautiful soft dark eyes of his mother. He looked long at the smiling face. It seemed to infuse new courage into his being. Dear mother, you'd understand. Oh, if you were only here to talk to me! cried poor William in distress. The picture was more beautiful to him than a Madonna-his own dear mother- and though he did not remember her, he felt that he knew her. Suddenly he felt a desire to paint. What could be a better model than his mother's picture? He started with much care, and the beautiful lines of the face took form on his canvas. Finally it was finished, and the young artist stood back to survey his work. He gasped in astonishment as he gazed at it. He hadn't expected to do so well. It was as perfect as the original. He went to bed with cheerful hopes for the future. One day William read that there was to be an international art exhibition, offering first prize of S5,00i0. He decided to enter and see what he could do. But what could he paint? Why wouldn't the picture of his mother do?AHis own Madonna'- 'The Allens knew nothing of his plans. In fact, they did not know he had p-ainted a picture of his mother. They were sorry he had to work, but Mr. Allen's arm was nearly well, and he would soon be able to go to work again. -86- ni ml: ,LIINCOLNM The opening day of the art exhibition came, but William had to work. The canvasses were hung in a l-arge room. The portraits and paintings were covered and could not be seen until the hour of the unveiling. Many an amateur artist's heart beat violently as the appointed time came nearer and nearer. Noted art critics from all parts of the world attended. Soon the import-ant minute came. The veil was slowly lifted from the first picture, It was a sunset and a beautiful thing indeed. The next was a group of happy children. As the veil was slowly lifted from the next, a gasp of surprise escaped from the large group of people. It was William's Madonna. The beautiful angel-like face smiled upon the gathering and seemed to be looking for her son. It was so real it looked like a living form posing. Marial exclaimed an Italian critic, In this moment of silence the outburst caught the attention of all. Everyone looked at him in amazement. He did not wait to see the other paintings but went to find the painter of this wonderful picture. He found William working busily, but with a dreamy, absent look on his face. William wondered who this strange foreign-looking man could be. As soon as the man saw William, he noticed the marked resemblance between his features and the features of the picture. Can it be? excitedly thought the Italian, that this is Maria's son, Gabriel? Two people could not look more alike. What a handsome lad he is! He walked over toward him and introduced himself saying, How do you do, my boy? I am an art critic, Athello Barnez. I have just come from the art exhibition. There was one picture that especially interested me, the portrait of a beautiful lady. After inquiring about the artist I was directed to you. Who are you, my boy? As it was time for the store to close, William invited the stranger home with him. On the way home he related the story of his life as he knew it. And how did you get the idea of your wonderful picture? asked the stranger. When I was rescued I wore a small locket which contained the picture of a beautiful woman. It must be my mother's picture, because I love it so much. I always carry and will show you the picture, if you wish to see it, said William. As the art critic's eye rested on the picture he could stand it no longer. He ex- claimed, My boy, this is indeed a miracle. This is the picture of my sister, Maria, and you are my own nephew, Gabriel Martez. This world is a small place, indeed. So saying, he heartily embraced William. By this time they had arrived at the Allen home. William introduced his new found uncle and told of his own good fortune. Mrs. Allen was as happy over his good luck as she would have been had it been one of her own children. William's parents had been wealthy and he found himself no longer in destitute circumstances. The Allens accepted his offered help, with many thanks. A few days later, William and his uncle departed for Italy where William could study art under gre-at masters. He and the Allens parted with many tears, but Mrs. Allen knew he would have better advantages abroad. As the ship started toward his native land, William thanked God for the many blessings He had bestowed upon him, and, with much eagerness, he looked into the bright future that lay before him. -Elizabeth Bicknell, '30, ..87... O .g ffl-II-I LUNCOLNITITU- SPRI G POETS Ah-h-h-h Spring is here and a young man's fancy turns tolbut never mind, 'tis said that a young woman's fancy has a habit of making the same turn at the same chronological period. What is it that makes the men of tomorrow lose their appetites and wander aimlessly off to nowhere? I wonder if it is because they have sneaked away from home without first partaking of their daily ration of sulphur and molasses? I have it! Let's follow one of nature's noblemen on one of these mysterious excursions. Mother, you needn't set a place for me at lunch today. I don't think I'll eat anythingg I'm not very hungry, said Dexter. Dexter, what-in-the-world is the matter with you? This m-akes the third day in succession that you haven't eaten a bite at lunch. And you've scarcely eaten enough to keep alive a canary. Land sakes-I do declare, I don't know what will become of you, remarked his mother. Don't worry about me, mother. I'm going for a walk now. Maybe I'll be back in time for dinner, but don't wait for me, answered Dexter. Out of the door he went, walking down the steps and out to the street with that peculiar bouncing step very noticeable in young men at this time of year. His eyes had a far away look in them. The expression of his face was bordering on that of a saint, so harmless did he look. His gaze was directed, not at passing pedestrians or vehicles, but fondly at flowers, trees and other works of nature. His hip pocket was bulging with something that looked suspiciously like a note book. Reaching the outskirts of town, he paused to gaze dreamily at two wrens perched on a wire fence. The note book was extracted from its place of hiding and studied over. Strolling on he made many stops to study and ponder over the little book. Fin-ally arriving at the top of a little hill he seated himself under a tree and seemed to lapse into a sort of coma. If one could have passed near he might have heard strange mutterings something like this- Hair of burnished gold and eyes of deep sea blue, emi Ah-h-h-h Spring is here and a young man's fancy lightly turns to-uh-h-h-poetry. -Robert Wertheim, '27 l'D LIKE T0 GO A-GYPSYING I'd like to go a-gypsying, a-gypsying in May, Across the rill, around the hill, in some forgotten way. Across the le-a and in the brook I'd like to go and play, Oh! I'd like to go a-gypsying, a-gypsying in May. Oh! where the leaves are greenest, where the flowers are most gay, 'That's where I will go gypsying, go gypsying this May. -Julia Strouse, '29, ...88.. lgrizilwcolxwgp .f SHADUWS OF THE NIGHT It was night and in the forest, night sounds were beginning to be heard. Now it was the faint whoo of an owl, now the stealthy footfall of some forest creature or the wind rustling gently through the tree tops or rustling the rushes at the water's edge. Slowly the moon climbed higher and higher making the trees stand out like gaunt spectral ghosts, their branches casting weird shadows on the silvery moss at Llzeir feet. A long gaunt black shadow was outlined against a rock but quick as the wind it was gone. The moon made a silver pathway across the lake, in this path a boat lay rocking gently back and forth as some mother rocking her babe to sleep. A will o' the wisp fluttered by again and again circling, diving, dancing, always on and on. In the trees came the sleepy twitter of a bird and from afar came the lonely haunting call of a coyote. Presently in a near-by hemlock, a whip-poor-will broke into n'clodious lament. The shadow of the tree wavered as a wandering breeze passed through its branches. High on a rock was a pine tree standing like a Sentinel of the Night. Slowly the stars grew brighter then dimmed and failed, the moon dis- appeared, the little people of the forest stole back to their homes and waited for night to again make her appearance. All was still in the forest, the little boat was gone, gone in the shadows of the night, gone as some souls go silently, swiftly and irrevoc-ably. Afar in the distance could be heard the crowing of the cock and the deep baying of a dog announcing the dawn while now and then some belated prowler of the night would go slinking past in fear of what the dawn might bring. elola Trigg, '28 I-IASI-I ON DEDICATION The dedication of our school draws nigh, - And there is not a star up in the sky, To mark this coming eventful day, When old and young should be gay. When I was a little fellow, I had dreams of this great school XVith a large gymnasium and a swimming pool. Of course you know we'll put on some skill, And it's not to be taken as a pill. Say, fellows, in our Chemistry lab., We'll make experiments that will please any crab. And passing from here, we'll go To hear some S-apnish in a room below. Now you'll learn why all Spaniards fight, Tell me the truth, ain't I right? Last but not least I'll mention this, Come up to English Six or you'll go amissg There'll be many things up here to cheer, But not this thing I'm writing here. Of course there is a broader view, Of the things we fellows are bound to do. I feel as though I'm finished now, I don't like writing anyhow. To say the truth this is for a passing grade, It's not to be in the big parade. There should be someone else to write the best: It's time for me to take a rest. -Jerome Flynn, '28 -89- T- lg l7l'l-IE LINCOLNITZQI SING A SONG GF HIGH SCI-IGGI Sing a song of high schools, The best ones in the state, See, there at the very top?

You're noted for your Ag Club, Your teams that are true blue, Oh here's to dear old Red and Green, Oh Lincoln! here's to you. You're noted for contestants, You're noted for your pep, Oh! just do as you've always done, And then you'l1 keep your rep. dJulia Strouse, '29 THE FLAG The Flag is our emblem of freedom, With thirteen bright stripes so true, And forty-eight stars which gleam like the sun, To lighten the heavens so blue. The snowy white stands for purity 'The red for courage bold, The blue for loyalty to country, So it's red, white, -and blue all told.
