3am.- I, Ethel Thomas, will my hair and haircut to Edna B. Harrison. 1, Annie Mae Calhoun, will my superfluous weight to Gertie Evans. 1, Ollie Mae Olivier, will my temper and general bad humor to Abell Thibedaux. 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. WE FINISH TO BEGIN.
