found that we must unselfishly award this honor to the Freshies and Juniors. We as a class are eager to find ourbetter seWes ,hnd thereby become capable of taking our places in the world ofactivity. i That hope that springs eternal in the human breast urges us on and tells us, that tomorrow will be a better day. As we leave our cherished Alma Mater, we pause to give highest honor and express our sincere gratitude to those our beloved faculty members who have been instrumental in making us what we are, and who have encouraged us to raise higher the standards of civilization. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As the class of 1926 was contemplating its coming commencement exercises, it fell to my lot to forecast the future of these fair damsels and gallant young men. I knew not what to do, for I was not born a prophet, just one of you. I had spent the day in hard study and deep thinking. Now worn and weary, I lay down to sleep. I had slumbered but a moment, when I arose refreshed and strengthened. I was in the lobby of Hotel Buffalo, suddenly I noticed a tall handsome young man, coming toward me. He smiled and I stood in awe, for it was none other than Martin Jacket, our class president. After a brief conversation I learned that he was the owner of a chain of hotels including Hotel Buffalo, in which I was stopping. We lunched together, and went for a ride in the afternoon. While driving through the city, my attention was attracted to a a large sign, The Henderson Plant. We stopped to visit the plant; I could scarcely believe my eyes, when we walked into the presidentis office, and I recognized the familiar face of our old classmate Roosevelt Hen- derson, the president of The Hendrson Plant. Later I visited New York City, where I met J anell Waters, who was now a designer in The Smart Shop on Fifth Avenue. On Sunday. morning I attended the morning service, at the St. Mark's Cathedral, 3 magnificent building, while pondering over this perfect work of man, my eyes beheld a stately Bishop in his robes of dignity, who poured forth words of inspired instruction, and to my surprise this devine was Walter Pender, who had thus entered into the work of the church. As I was leaving the Cathedral, some one touched me on the arm. I turned around, and looked into the face of Isabelle Thompson, who invited me to spend the day with her. I accepted her kind invitation, and we drove home in her fine new car. Isa- belle was a retired nurse, now living in the Thompson Mansion on Riverside Drive. It was from Isabelle that I learned, that the cathedral, in which we had worshipped, was the work of Reference Martin, who was a great architect in Paris. In the evening I thought that I would rest for an hour or two, for I was tired and sleepy. I slept long and very soundly. When I opened my eyes, to my surprise I found myself in my own home in the same old town.

Dorthy Armelin ,,,,,, President Lnbella T' ' m Vice President Mary Armstrong y Nora Taylor Treasurer HISTORY OF JUNIORS Having toured the long road of grammar school and raised from the preparatory department of Lincoln School. September 1923 found us wandering into a new realm. We came in as lowly Freshmen, unconcerned standing in perfect for we were too green to burn. Remembering one has to start at the bottom to reach the top. Under the leadership of Mary Armstrong our stern president, we started our climb despite the humiliation: and hardships a true Freshman must undergo. Quite a number fell down during this fourth of the journey. As little Freshies we thought ourselves very brilliant, as every Freshman does. June found us with a fourth of the journey overt September '24 found us in the wise land with the trials and hardships of a Freshman year behind us. Thirteen wise Sophomores climbing under the leadership of our gallant Helen Deese. Abroad we were called wise fools, yet the faculty will admit that we were the most brilliant Sophomores in the history of Lincoln School. June! and half the voyage over. September '25 only eight juniors nearing the pinnacle of their desire. Think we are Juniors with three-fourth of the journey in the rear of us, and still a determination to go further. One more year to go then we Will be seniors and then graduation. of course we defeated the seniors in the popularity contest indeed, that is nothing unus- ual, Who can recall one time these juniors ha've been defeated in anything. The senior banquet sponsored by the junior class was unsurpassed by any in the his- tory of Lincoln School. Music was furnished by Ricks Orchestra. We shall finish the term under the able leadership of Dorthy Armelin. Just now we are anxiously waiting to take the plans of the seniors and make the seniors of '27 a class immortal just as did the Junior class. Entering we vow to make the class '27 one of Lincoln's real tributes to humanity. Teachere'Wou have participated in many investigations . Janitore'tMany .
