THE LINCOLNIAN 19 The Senior class gave a theatre party. The production was “Herod.” Miss A. H. Jones chaperoned. 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.)

Just one more S. ; is Mable left ? No No! for her applaud! Just one brave soul will grace the T ' s , And that is Arthur T., So grand and tall, He ne’er will fall, Except he try in love to fall. There ' s one more letter left to us. We will not go to Z’s, But may the name of Allen “Ward” off care and disease. Then farewell, class of 1910, Go up life ' s great broad ladder: Pleasant memories you leave behind. And thoughts that ne’er grow sadder. Great men have scaled such heights as you Are now about to climb, May God be ever with you. And guide you all the time. Laura Carr, TO. Miss Jones — “Roy, what is the feminine corresponding- to the masculine stag?” Roy (whose mother is a society leader) — “Afternoon tea ma’am.” Gray — “I’m in the pink of condition, old man, but I f pretty blue because everyone tells me I ' m looking awfu, white.” Brown — “Well, I think that a chap who gets blue because he is white must be terribly green or have a strong streak of yellow in his make up.” Miss C. J., of our Senior class (picking up the aluminum knives and forks), asked: “Miss S., are these sliver?” Miss S. (answering indulgently) — “No, C.” Miss C. J.- — “I thought not; the’ don’t look like mother’s.” (We took the hint.) Professor C. (speaking to Miss C. G.) asked: “Is oxygen stable or otherwise?” Miss C. G. — “It is otherwise.”
