The Ivanhoe Court, No. 26, gave a ladies’ minstrel at Lyric hall, Tuesday evening, April 5, 1910. It was a very suc- cessful event and the various members who took part did credit to their instructor. Mrs. D. N. Crosthwaite. A prize of $10 was won by Mrs. Wm. James for selling the largest num- ber of tickets. Mrs. Mae Miller has been ill for several weeks, but we hope to see her out soon. Mr. Claude Stirman, TO, intends to continue his studies at Washburn next year. Miss Judith Syms has shocked her classmates by entering into the social whirl. The Senior class is wondering seriously if that engage- ment between Miss Emma Johnson and Mr. John King has been broken off. Miss Inez McCoy will spend the summer in Chicago, vis- iting her friends. Dame Rumor is on wing about the coming marriage of Miss Delia Boaz, the smallest girl of our class. Miss Tloaz de- nies the report. Miss Mary Augustus (Sophie! has made quite a “hit” with our Senior boys. The Palace Drug Store, corner 19th and Vine streets, is one of the finest drug stores in the West. It is conducted by Dr. E. S. Lee. Mrs. Minnie Johnson and her little daughter, Margr will be the guests of Mrs. Winnie Tucker commencement. Mr. D. N. C. asked the chemistry class if platinum was found in abundance or not. His brilliant son, wishing to dis- play some of his fluent English, insisted upon being called upon, and his answer was as follows: “It is found in Califor- nia and Arizona and is very un-a-bun-da-ble.” (A loud roar.) A special party was given in honor of Miss II. D. (a Se- nior) and Miss A. (a Sophomore). “Shoes gave a party to in- vite their dresses down.” (But they have not accepted the in- vitation as yet.)

18 THE LINCOLNIAN LINES TO JUNIORS. Farewell to you, dear Juniors, We take it much to heart. But console ourselves by saying That the best of friends must part. We hope some day to meet you, Upon life’s broader plain ; Sharing with members of your race. The knowledge which you have gained. We are now beginning a battle That cannot be won in a day. But by steady perseverance, Success will come our way. The world wants men and women Who will and who can do. But before we say a last farewell We leave a motto with you: “Lives of great men should all remind you,” You can be as great as they : “And departing leave behind you” That which time cannot decay.
