J. Criner serving as principal; from 1905 to 1908. Professor M. W. Lawson succeeded him. serving- from 1908 to 1914 with 3 assistants. In 1914 Professor W. E. Sampson took over the office retaining it to the present day. Under him the faculty had a minimum of 4 teachers and a maximum of 47 during the intervening years. The school was first conducted on Sixth Street together with the Sixth Street Baptist Church and the Odd Fellows Hall. Upon recommen- dation of our present Superintendent G. M. Sims, to the school board, the school came into possession of an entire block, situated on Lincoln Avenue, and erected a four-room frame building from which 'the present school de- rives its name. In 1920 the building on page 4 was constructed, consisting of 16 class- rooms. As the number of pupils increased, Superintendent G. M. Sims with a far-reaching vision, saw the need of larger accommodations to meet the de- mand. Then in 1929 eighteen 08 rooms were added, and one more block for play activities. In that year our enrollment was 2080, with 11 grades. In conneotion there is a library containing 1095 volumes; a well equipped cafeteria, and auditorium seating 800, and a principal's office with all mod- ern conveniences and a stenographer in charge. There are also rest rooms, comfortably furnished; and six lavatories. There are departments of Home Economics, Arts and Crafts, Manual Arts, Sewing, Physical Education, Music, First Aid; Chemical and Physical Laboratory. The building is heat- ed by steeam and lighted by e'ectricity. In 1918 the first graduates to go from this school were 3 in number. Since then there has been an ever increasing number of graduates; and now in 1933 the number is 24. It has always been the aim of the school to send out students who are worthy of graduation and who have completed the pre- scribed course with credit, rather than mere numbers. We are proud to say that Lincoln High School graduates are admitted into the leading negro colleges without examinations. FOREWORD There is not a gale that blows That sounds not like the temptest roared; There is not a record to keep This appealing beauty we meet. But there is a gale that will wage Our memories of Old Lincold Age To come love's cherished bliss That hinges faintly in God's Mist. Thus our history, our presence is recorded here within this our 1933 issue of the Bumble Bee tak- en from the treasured memories of dear old Lin- coln, our Alma Mater . 312E: PUBLISHED BY SENIORS 1933 Port Arthur, Texas W.

At the topmost peak of this moun- tain sat the Goddess Clio writing the history of gods and men. Lo 0 king over her shoulder, I read the histcry of the class of 1933, and this is what I saw: One morning in September while the ship of education of Lincoln High was cruis- ing along some strange shores, it was hailed by a group of boys and girls 27 in num- ber. jrhey were called Freshmen, for truly they were fresh. To the casual eye, they seem merely a group of ordinary boys and girls well dressed, reas nably good looking, and badly frightened, but to the trained eyes of these dareless and experienced explor- ers, these strangers seemed distinct and widely separate individuals, each possessing aptitudes and talents, deficiencies and capabilities decidely worth finding out. Gently attempting to dispell the fears of the strangers, the faculty bade them get on board, and spent the next few weeks attempting to gain their confidence and friend- ship. After great difficulty they succeeded in accomplishing this. So great were the achievements cf these sgtrangers that their discovery will ever be remembered in the history of Lincoln School. As the voyage went on, the Freshmen became part of the life of the ship. The were taught new strange customs and manners, and were required to learn dfficult lessons. At first they often wished they had never been found, but before a year was over they became thorcughly at h:me in their venture as high school students. During the first few months of the year the Freshmen suffered many inconven- iences because of their untamiliarity with the rules and regulations. They suffered intense agony and despair during- this period, because of the social functions which they were required to attend in order to acquire poise and dignity. The male Freshmen tin particulan found the dances ttrture, but the female enjayed them greatly. In time, however, this functioning became festival occasions for all. Much information was gained, regarding the Freshmen, by the exploring faculty in the first year of the voyage, Their intellects were found to vary in keenness from sponges to razors, but as a whole they turned cut to be very satisfactory and some were a source of great joy to their explorers. Already some of the Freshmen were showing signs of unusual ability in various fields. Joe in athletics, Mattie in dancing and Agatha in Home Economics. At the end of this year a terrible disaster befell the Freshmen, althocgh it was instigated by the benevolent faculty, and intended to prove lasting benefit to them, they suffered greatly. Several had their growth retarded this year by it and few, permanently disabled, left the ship forever. This disaster was called Final Examination. With the coming of next September, they receive a new name because of the skill acquired on the first nine months of their voyage, The prccess of naming- was called promotion, a term very familiar to the crew on board. They were given the name of Sophomores. Remembering the scorn with which they had been regarded when they first started on the voyage, they adopt- ed the same attitude toward the coming strangers who took their places. The routine of the class room was familiar and they found studying easier than before. The talents discovered the previous year were developing rapidly. The explor- ing teachers found much to please them, and also much to astonish them. Incipient love affairs were noticed in the stage of the voyage such aFBaysmureis abnormal desire for Ella, and Blanche's eagerness to become friends with Peter. In the third year of the voyage, becncse of an old educational custom, the Sopho. mores became Juniors, and their promotion made their sense of importance increase out of all due proportion. Great, indeed, was their scorn for the Freshmen and the Sopho- mores, completely absorbed in their own process of being explored, were no wiser, were not embarrassed or concerned. This was a year of hard work, and the dreaded ordeal of examinations was passed with few casualties. The teachers had endeared themselves to the hearts of the class, and there was a feeling of genuine friendship throughout the school. And now we come to the fourth and greatest year in the history of the class. We automatically tas was their custom in many thingst became Seniors in September. With the gaining of this title, we began to take ourselves more seriously than ever before, and when I say, useriously, I mean seriously! As the year drew to a close we were positively dizzy with dignity. All this was looked upon with friendly amusement by the teacher-explorers, Who regarded the result of their fourth year of hard labor with rightful pride. They had converted a band of ignorant untamed aborigines into inteiigent courteous citizens of their great school, and had lost only the usual proportion in the process. Better yet, they had folind that for which they had been searching so eagerly, geniusiin fact, several of them; and all of the class were passable. A number of senirrs gained unusual distinction during the year, particularly those whose discovery, so delighted their explorers, Ollie Mae, Ella, Agatha and Arzalia. In order to let the other part of the world know something of the achievement since we we explored; wc radiogramed the Bumble Bee with Woodson Andrews as editor and Beatrice Guidry as associate editor; Burness Broussard as business manager and Ethel Thomas as assistant buiness manager. A class song, a class will and a class motto were adopied and used on every pos- sible occasion, to the despair and anntyance of all other members of the ship, but it was deemed advisable for the sake of peace for the class to ignore them as far as pos- sible, At the expiration of the four years, the principal expressed himself as greatly pleased with the addition to ship and pronounced them all highly eligible for ad- mission as citizens. He praised the work of the explorers and predicted that their names, with those of their discoveries, would be written in history together.

As I look through the cycle of time, I see a very stylish well-dressed lady approving some beautiful dresses for her Smart Shop at 4939 Calumet Avence, Chicago. It was none other than Lawrence DeBlanc. Several days later, I left for Philadelphia and while on the train, whom did I see but Joe Lyons. He recognized me immediately and came over to talk. He is now a very successful architect in St. Louis. . After reaching Philadelphia, I caIIed on Mona Mitchell, who was considered to be one of the most prominent women- lawyers in Philadelphia. Of course, we talked of old school days and had a delightful time together I remained there for a few days, then decided to go to Palm Beach for a few weeks, One day as I was strolling along the water's edge, I saw a couple approaching; the lady looked strangely familiar and I could hardly beiieve my eyes when I recognized her as Agatha Prevost. She introduced me to her husband who was a wealthy real estate man. I learned that Agatha had formerly been his private secretary. 11 Sunday morning Agatha, her husband and I attended m rning services at St. John's Cathedral. We learned that the choir was to broadcast. When the announce- ment had been made, we sat pleasantly surpi'iSed as Blanthe Batiste was leading the singing. She had been in charge of the choir for twu years, and our ears judged of how well she had taught them, As we were leaving the Cathedral we met Lawrence Baysmore. We had previously learned that Baysmore was at that time the greatest scientist in California. He was in Palm Beach because of his wife who had suffered a nervous breakdown. He insisted that we meet her, so we accompanied him to his home and were delighted above meas- ure to meet an old classmate in the person of Arzalia Deese, better knnwn now as Mrs. Baysmore. Myrtle McNulty, manager of a ladies' wholesale store in Salt Lake City, was con- valescing in Palm Beach, because of her recent illness she had not attended any social affairs. As the time was swiftly passing, and I had only about a month of vacation left. I sailed for Paris, bent on a short tour of Europe. My first night in Paris was spent at the Hippodrome with Mr. Melvin Arvie, its owner. 0n the next evening he took me to Sherryts where we dined and watched the chorus girls. I was very much surprised to know that Ella Badgett was leading lady and that Mattie Mitchell and Dorothy Gil- liam were popular girls of the chorus. On our way out we ran into Alexander Lafayette. He immediately offered to see us home in his Packard Straight Eight, As it was yet early we called on Marguerite Wesley, who was at this time a prominent Physicist, made famous by her recent dis- coveries in the field of radio. Early the next morning I was aroused by an outburst of loud talking. I opened my doctor and found several reporters trying to get a story from Helen Johnson, who who was a famous movie actress and was in Paris to make a picture of Parisian life. After having a long conversation with Helen, the urge to travel hit me, so I en- trained for Germany. After arriving in Berlin I became slightly ill and had my- self talmn to a fine hospital. A medical meeting was in session and as I was only slightly ill, I asked for the head nurse. In a few minutes she came in and I was sur- prised out of my illness on beholding Head Nurse Beatrice Guidry; accompanied by her eminent husband, Dr. Peter W. De Blane. They were soie owners of this hospital and it certainly was well equippedt We talked of old school days and Dr. De Blane told me that Attorney Burness Broussard's office was just across the street. I went over to See him, but he was busy. I passed the time away glancing at different books. One of these to my surprise, was written by Esther Gabriel, a successful author, on The Negro of the Present Day. From Germany I went to Rome and there in a magnificent art gallery, among the paintings of the masters of all Europe, I saw a beautiful picture painted by a famous woman painter, Ethel Thomas. My vacation had just about come to an end, so I sailed for home and arrived in New York safely where I remained far a few days before taking up my work in Hollywood. I was standing in the lobby of Hotel Buffalo when suddenly I noticed twa beauti- ful ladies elegantly dressed, approaching me. They stopped and I stared in amazement as I recognized Annie Mae Calhoun and Ollie Mae Olivier. After a brief conversation, I learned that they were the joint owners of a chain of hotels including Hotel Buffalo, where I was staying. Later, on the same afternoon they took me out tu their mansion on Riverside Drive. We spent a very pleasant evening there and it was from them that I learned that our class was going to have a reunion at their mansion, late in August. As I was thinking of the fun we would have I was rudely awakened by the alarm clock, bringing me back from dreamland to grim realities. It was a dream and I sin- cerely hope that this class of 1933 shall realize this dream. VVVVVVVV CLASS SONG OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS T , une Rosary The hours we spent with thee dear school, Are like a string of pearls to us. We count them over every one apart, Our high school days, Our high school days. Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer To still our hearts in parting wrung. We'll miss each classmate to the end. And then our hearts are sad. 0! memories that bless and burn! 0! fruitful gain but bitter loss. We bid each one to strive, at last to learn T0 face the world, dear classmates, To face the world. eBy Seniors THE SENIOR CLASS WILL The State of Texas, County of Jefferson: iWi 2 Know all men by these presents, that we, the senior class of Lincoln High School on this 18th day of May, in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-three, calling to mind the frailty and uncertainty of life and being desirous of settling our high school affairs, being of sound and disposing mind, hereby do solemnly bequeath to the lower classmen, who will in turn endeavor to fill the vacancy which will be made when this class shall graduate the following, which will be of unlimited value to them in the completion of their high school career. I, Arzalia Deese, do bequeath my dislike for reading to Roba Goudeaul 1, Esther Gabriel, will my secret of preserving youth to Gladys Sims. I, Kermit Baker, will my uD's and uC's to Hamilton Joseph. 1, Lawrence De Blane, will my coy glances and ability to vamp to Hattie Williams. I, Helen Johnson, will my ability to tiget by, to Mable Neraud. I, Blanche Batiste, will my extraordinary height and ability to sing to Ollie Williams. I, Beatrice Guidry, will my interest in school gossip to Virgie Lee Allen. I, Woodrow Andrews, will my Ukelele, made of cigar boxes, to Herbert Harris. I, Marguerete Wesley, will my cut and dried line with the boys to El Wilhelmine Baker. R? us ; I, Dorothy Gilliam, will my love for handling money to Helen Jones.

I, Burness Broussard, will my surplus energy and ability to spell to Harvey Harrison. I, Ella Badget, will my iicome-hither-expression in singing to Mar- gurete Williams. 1, Joy Lyons, will my Chemistry note-book to Gilbert Thibeaux. Lower classmen, profit by this will for we are leaving you now. Even as we crossed the threshold that has remained opened during the happiest years of our lives, we stand at the entrance of another that has not yet been opened. It is the door of life. Beyond this dom the noblest that is in us will be called forth to help us fight our battles and the knowledge gained in Lincoln High will serve as a guiding star to direct tur every course. As we glance over the pages of memory, all is joy and happiness, for memory has the tendency to efface all that is not pleasant. The petty trials that meant so much at the time were but weight by the joy that followed and Shane so brightly that every- thing else sinks into oblivion. We do not think of the drudgery that we were forced to undergo in our diligent search for knowledge, but we think of the abundant rewards that crown our every effort. It is because each and every member of the class of 1933 has held the honor of the class above eveything that we are able to lay down our cars and say, chat a peace- ful voyage is over and we reached the promised land.
