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 .

HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The class of '28 is a happy band of faithful workers, Our class colors are blue and goldl Our motto: Either Finish It, Or Donlt Attempt It . Last year we were timid Freshmen, who were afraid that the Sophomores would run over us in their rush. Rush where? Out of work. The year was one of hard trials, for the other High School classes thought, that we were too young to have a voice in any movement. We were told to listen, but never to say a word. The Sophomores did not even invite us to any of their affairs, but on one occasion, when their treasure was very low, we were invited to help fill up the treasure. While this year has been a year of hard work, it has been a year of sport too. Our F. F. Club, Fun And Friendliness Club , has made it so. Our purpose is to see that a spirit of friendliness exists in 0111' school, and that a little fun enters into the life of every one sometimes. To our surprise we lost in the popularity contest, Beware Juniors. We will get you yet, if you don't watch out. Remember that we are Sophomores, thirty strong. The great men and women of the future will come from the Sophomore class, for the talents, that we possess, will fit as for any great work, no matter how difficult. He tafter qua'rrell- I think our lips are parallel, don't you? 5119111 don t know. Wh He- Because they never meet. Miss Cr inere'tYonr answer is as clear as mud . Rooseveltethell, that covers the ground, doesn't it?
