CLASS O CLASS HISTORY. BLANCHE YANCY, T2. Ninety-one girls and boys entered the class room of Lincoln High School, in the fall of 1908 to perform the duties of Freshman. We were happy, light-hearted, guy, willing to do our duty with untiring zeal; and during our first year, we laid an excellent foundation upon which tc erect valuable monuments later on in our educational course. As “Freshies,” we organized a club with Miss Olive Sasportas, teacher of English, as treasurer. The Club was a great success and in many ways very helpful to our class, as it developed unity and other desirable qual- ities. Having completed our first year course. After a happy vacation, we entered as Sophomores. We worked still harder this year, and with Miss Brydie’s assistance, a Sophomore club was organized. After two terms of well fought battles in each department of work, we spent the summer months storing up energy for a fresh attack upon the enemy — ignorance. Returning as Juniors, we studied diligently, always working towards the happy thought, that within a comparatively few months, we were F 19 12 » to become Seniors; and after the enjoyment of another vacation, we again entered school. This time we came as dignified Seniors, and we now had reached one of the important points in our career, indeed, the to;) round of our youthful ambition as students. Just a few of the ninety-one who entered, remain to await the time of graduation; for, each year from one cause or another, some of our comrades have found it necessary to leave the ranks. We who have “ploughed the furrow to the end, ’ have learned to recognize the value of time and we now rejoice. We have finished High School — yet, we are but beginning the battles of real life; and we hope that we shall be as successful in winning future contests as we have been in our class rooms. In our Senior year, four of our number distinguished them- selves as students of Virgil, fourteen have done excellent work in German; the entire number has faithfully studied Pschology, Natural Science, English Literature, and Man- ual Training. For four years, our little fleet has been anchored in a safe harbor, soon we shall weigh anchor and slowly drop down the tide to find a port of entry. A few days more and these clustering sails will be scattered, and each in its own horizon will reach its destined goal.
