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..

,frur LINCOLNPQM- - SENIOR CLASS STORY It has been said that an eavesdropper hears no good of ones self, but from now on, I shall discredit that statement. 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-

,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..
