TO PUR- SUE KNOWLEDGE AND IN SOME DEGREE FAME. The Green Freshmen were Birdie Mae Smith, Mary Lucy Logan, Sara Frances wood, Eugenia Fitzgerald, and Lud Evans Reid the Stanford Cats and Kittens . Rachel McKinney, quiet and shy from Me Kinney. Shirley Mae Carson, short AND BRISK FROM HALLS GAP. FROM THE GREAT TRADE CENTER OF CRAe ORCHARD CAME FANNIE STEVENSON, Mary willean Perkins, John Robert Stevenson, Jordan Melvin Stevenson, and Eugene Mucker, AND THE RED HEADED YOUTH, SAMUEL TUCKER FROM Moreland. We lost three of our classmen in the Sophomore year. John Stevenson who craved adventure and EXCITEMENT JOINED THE NAVY. FANNY STEVENSON and Shirley Carson decided that they knew all THAT WAS NECESSARY AND QUIT OUR RANKS. WE WERE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR JUNIOR YEAR, HOWEVER,BE- CAUSE JOHN RETURNED FROM THE NAVY AND AGAIN BE- CAME one of us. This met our approval because IT INCREASED OUR MEMBERSHIP. THEN AGAIN WE RE- CEIVED ANOTHER BLESSING BECAUSE FLORA BELLE JOINED OUR RANK INCREASING OUR NUMBER TO A FULL DOZEN. Finally, the past four years have been all too SHORT BUT VERY INSPIRING AND EDUCATIONAL. WE HAVE LEARNED MUCH. HOW TO GIVE ANO RECEIVE BECOMING RICHER IN THE END. WE HOPE OUR AIMS AND CONTRIBUTIONS WILL ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BE USEFUL AND MAINTAIN HIGH IDEALS AT GOOD OLD Lincoln High School.

Joan: Because he heard the drinks were on the house. Anna: How did you break your arm? Jimmy: Do you see those steps? Anna: Yes. Jimmy: Well, I didn't!

SHE TURNED TO HER MOTHER VERY EXCITEDLY AND SAID: MOMMIE, THE HOUSE IS CRYING! BASKETBALL 1949-1950 IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE DREAM OF LINCOLN HIGH TO HAVE A GREAT TEAM. WE HAVE REALLY IMPROVED A GREAT DEAL SINCE WE FIRST BEGAN TO PLAY BASKET- BALL. The year, 1948-50 was the greatest Vic- tory YEAR FOR US IN FIVE LONG YEARS. The boys happily got their trunks, shoes, and GRIPS, AND WERE OFF TO PLAY; WIN OR LOSE. OUR TEAM WAS ALWAYS READY TO KEEP THEIR DATE ON THE BASKETBALL FLOOR FOR EACH SCHEDULED GAME. Henry Welch, the great basketball inspirer, was ALWAYS AROUND TO EXTEND HIS WILLING ASSISTANCE. LAST YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO DEFEAT HARRODSBURG ON THEIR HOME FLOOR, DOUGLAS HIGH OF LEXINGTON, and Ed. Davis High of Georgetown. The Oanville- Stanford game, which is always a grudge game, WAS ONE OF THE BEST AND FASTEST GAMES THAT THE Lincoln lions exhibited last year. The day we beat Danville, will be the answer to another DREAM WE HAVE HERE AT LINCOLN. The Cheer-leaders, after playing an important PART MUST 8E COMMENDED FOR THEIR SPIRIT. LET US HOPE THEY HAVE MORE EACH YEARJ WE FEEL THAT THE BOYS GAI NED INSPI RATI ON FROM THE CHEER-LEAD- ERS TO WIN THE GAMES THEY WERE ABLE TO WIN LAST YEAR. The team of 1949-50 was made up of the following boys; Charles Jones, Captain, Clause Smith, Co- Captain, jimmy Jones, John Stevenson, Richard McCowan, Tommy Logan, Lud Reid, William Dawson, Walker Shanks, James Alcorn, Bennie Cook, James Green, Alfred Green, and Eoward Brown. Let us hope that in days to come, we will have a Gym in which to practice and play, we hopeJ cfYEZfris iDf rs nr ) y f orvrfib� f YSr£wA r- 5. l iao - V! 7 — Srr rH — VL . t-oo v Zvd.Ro� ■ k’A .co A o y Co-CAprAr V hV5t ks- 7 io v ■T- Ac a v 3 .Rot C S f rU- ? £ - CApr.J Jb £- rfv.
