HISTORY OF THE FRESHMEN CLASS Warren Williams Roy Mitchell Jeraldine Freeman Myrorie Lamperez ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , President .Vice President Secretary Treasurer On May 1925 a jolly bunch of seventh grade students received their certificates de- claring them having completed the grammar school work and capable of being called Freshmen of Lincoln High school. When school opened September 21, 1925 more than 49 ambitious young people en- listed and placed on record one of the most peppy classes in the history of Lincoln High. During the term our enrollment reached iifty-five. Our class colors are royal-purple and gold. Our: motto is, We came, we saw, we conquered . The sophs , juniors and seniors are willing to recognize us as a class of notoriety. During the year we gave a dnnsante ; it was quite formal; a little too much for the seniors and almost out of the reach of the faculty, however, the seniors sent a detective to take notes. As for studies, we could even master the seniors, studies, but it seems to be an old established custom to spend four years in the high school department, and we would not vary from the general rule. We havexft, as yet, fallen so deeply in love with Latin, it is supposed to be a dead language but it seems that the Latin teacher of Lincoln High is trying to make it alive again. The first popularity contest of this school ended April 9, 1926, and would you be sur- prised to know that a freshman is the most popular boy in Lincoln High School? So give us credit for our good work; We came to be popular. We soon saw that we were going to be popular, we con- quured all obstacles, and now we are poplar.

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?
