T., 14, ( 9 ) THE I N C 0 L N I A N HAROLD’S LOVE AFFAIR. Mamie Lewis, T4. Theresa and Evelyn had been considered the beauties of their class. Theresa was a blond with blue eyes and golden hair, while Evelyn had raven locks and black eyes. It had been four years since they had graduated from school. In that time circumstances for the two girls had changed. Theresa had be- come the leading society girl, but Evelyn, having been left an orphan, worked in a store. It was the eve of the return of Harold White, who had alternated his affections be- tween the girls in school days. Everyone in the little village was wondering whether Theresa or Evelyn would be fortunate enough to win him. The evening of his arrival a welcome home dinner was given for Harold by Mrs. Coles. Theresa looked her very best as she smiled her greetings to the guests. All through it was a delightful affair and Harold was highly entertained. But remem- bering the spirit of comradship which had existed between Theresa and Evelyn, he won- dered where Evelyn was and why she was not with Theresa that evening. After the dinner Harold went home thoughtfully. Still wondering, he asked his mother when they were seated upon the front porch watching the clouds in the sum- mer sky. “Mother, dear, I didn’t see .Evelyn Walton at the dinner. How was that?” “Why Harold White,” she exclaimed. “Surely you don’t expect the best of society to invite paupers, to meet what they expected to be their foremost man?” “If you call Evelyn a pauper because she works for her living, I must say I did expect her. “Haloid, I hope you are not going to renew that old friendship. There is Theresa, who is the leading young girl of society.” “To be sure, I will renew my love, not to say friendship, with Evelyn. I always loved her, and love her yet; as for Theresa, I liked her as a friend only.” “And this is the way you are to bring shame upon the head of your mother, by lov- ing a common working girl, simply because you think your former love is binding.” “I am sorry, indeed, mother, if I bring shame, but I must find Evelyn.” And with these words he left his mother. Mrs. White, having been left alone, brooded upon the shame which would surely be brought to her by her son’s contemplated action. Then she thought of a plan, know- ing that Evelyn was not in town then, to bring Harold and Theresa together and en- kindle the former friendship, which she be- lieved to be love. Her plan was to have an outing party to Glendale, a place about fif- teen miles: from Ruthford. When Harold left his mother he went di- rectly to Miss Brown and inquired for Eve- lyn. She told him that she had been called away on account of the death of a distant uncle. So, not finding her, be returned home, to be fronted the first thing with the plans of the outing party. And what depressed him more, Theresa was entrusted to him. Not that he disliked Theresa, but he doubted him- self and feared that he might be bewitched by this wondrous beauty. He was deter- mined to be strong, and he never doubted the promise Evelyn had made to him in then- school days. He realized that, though Theresa had thousands in wealth and was surrounded by luxury, and his mother favored her for his wife, he knew that Evelyn most needed him and he needed her. Three days had passed and it was Thurs- day evening when Evelyn returned. Only that morning had the outing party started on its trip to Glendale. When Evelyn reached 1 the LINCOLNIAN Miss Brown’s she told her of Harold’s call. Great was Evelyn’s joy to know that Harold had returned, and just when she needed him most. She combed her lustrous hair and put on a beautiful clinging white dress, thinking perhaps he would call that evening. Evelyn was indeed a vision of loveliness, when she descended the stairs to await Harold’s looked for arrival. While she waited she glanced aimlessly over the paper. Her eyes fell upon the ac- count of the outing party and of the pros- pect of a wedding soon. She was shocked. Was it possible, could it be true that Harold was going to marry Theresa, and that he was only going to offer her charity? Why had she been so foolish? Not until now did it dawn upon her that Harold was not serious. She had thought him so different from the rest. She was on the verge of tears when she thought, why should she despair at the news? Disappointed and worn she sought her room and sat late in the moonlight in unhappy thought. It was now the third day of the outing trip. During these days Theresa tried to work her charms upon Harold, to no effect. She de- termined that he should go insane about her and ask her to marry him, and then she would show him how she would refuse him and tell him of her engagement to the Frenchman, which was her secret. Then she could picture him going back to ask Evelyn, whom he had scorned. So to start her plan she arranged to have Evelyn Rich Marri- age” announced in the paper. She knew this was the name of Harold’s sweetheart; she was determined to win Harold. She saw this was the only way. That evening when she and Harold were out walking she showed him the announcement and laughingly said, “What do you think of that and to think she use to love you ?” “Theresa it cannot be so!” “It is not my Evelyn.” “I must go and get it from her lips,” objected Harold. “You think it is not so, well take my word for it, all women are alike.” Theresa knew that when he. went to Evelyn and told her of the announcement, she would be too astonished to deny or say anything; think- ing that he doubted her that much. The following day Harold went to see Eve- lyn. The minute she saw him she was all smiles and greeted him with joy, but she thought that he acted strangely. “So it must be true,” he thought. “She is not working.” “How lucky it is that you caught me home. It was so good of the manager to give me a week off,” said Evelyn. “So it is true that you are married? I never would have thought you could disap- point me, Evelyn,” said Harold. “I, married !” exclaimed Evelyn. “That is indeed a very funny way to start.” ' “Ah, I suppose you think I ought to con- gratulate you, but I am not to be fooled with and I curse you.” “Harold, I do not know what you mean. You know I am not married!” “1 knew you would try to dissemble about it; but you will rue it. I hate and despise you I” With these frenzied words he left her. She was too shocked and crushed for connected thought She wept because he doubted her. She was hurt because Theresa, whom she knew had shown him the announcement of her namesake’s marrigae, had plotted against her. Thinking of her deep wrongs, she flung herself across the couch and cried bitterly. Miss Brown hearing her sobs ran in the parlor. But Evelyn was too hysterical for self-control. Miss Brown called some of the other boarders and they carried the distracted girl to her room. “That’s what I say about these men,” de- ( 11 ) THE LINCOLNIAN dared Miss Brown. “They win the love of innocent dear girls, then break their hearts No man for me!” It was some time before Evelyn gained her composure. When she did she was told it would be a long time before she would be allowed to leave her bed, as her heart was weak. After Harold left Evelyn he returned to the camp and went to his mother. He told her that she was right about him going to bring her fame now. That evening when he went out with Theresa he was gay and happy. Theresa was lovely in her outing frock and was happy, for she knew her plans were going to work. They had not gone far when Harold turned to Theresa, seized her hand and said, “Theresa I have been blind. I loved Evelyn and thought ■die loved me, but I was blind. I cannot love you as I have cherished Evelyn, but I need you.” “Ah, you think you want me now. You do not see yet ; you are blind. I care not for you. “I am engaged and will marry in the spring. Neither my father nor my mother know of my engagement. “Take my advice and go to Evelyn. You men doubt women too soon. Evelyn is too true. She has not married. It was her namesake who married. She loved you. I hate you and because of that hate I planned this outrage.” “0, Theresa, how could you?” “Yes, how could I? Well how could you doubt such a pure girl as Evelyn ? “I tell you to go to her — Ah, you are not worthy of her.” With these words and a scornful laugh she left him. All while Theresa rebuked him, Harold hung his head. Not until he was sure she had gone did he stir. Then he sat down on a log, bowed his head and said: “She is right. How could I have doubted Evelyn. I should never have agreed to go on the party without seeing Evelyn. “Mother was blind too. But not so blind as I. “Ah! I cursed the one I love! “I want Evelyn now, but dare not ask her again. I doubt her still.” “She is not like others. She will forgive me. “But, oh 1 the agony she has gone through. “She said she loved me and I told her she lied. “Ah ! wretched me 1” These last words were uttered from the very depth of Harold’s soul for he realized the predicament in which he had placed him- self. That evening - Harold told his mother how they had wronged Evelyn through the trickery of Theresa Coles. Mrs. While told him to have courage and confess his wrong to Evelyn. If she loved him as he believed, she would forgive him. He agreed to go the next day. It was -known that the party was to break up the next day. Already had Mr. and Mrs. Coles and their daughter Theresa left, because of illness of latter. The next day Harold called at Miss Brown’s and asked for Evelyn. He was drenched in grief when told he could not see her. “Ah God! must she die on my account. It must not be. My good woman I implore you to let me see her. I have wronged her.” I love her and she must not die.” Miss Brown was overwhelmed by the plead- ing. She could restrain him no longer Gently she led the grief-stricken man to Evelyn’s room. There he fell down by her bed and went, Evelyn rested her hand tremblingly on his head and let him weep his heart’s content. At length he was able to speak in coherent and imploring words begging for forgiveness. She told him to arise and forget the past and live in the present for their love. THE LINCOLNIAN He arose and having been left alone the conversation turned. They talked of their school days. “Do you remember the promise we made to help each other when we were in need?” asked Evelyn. “Ah well do I remem- ber it; but I — .” She let him get no farther, but reminded him not to regret anything. They talked of the wedding and when he left both were happy, because he said Evelyn would recover and they could have the wed- ding soon. The next day Mrs. White came and stayed all day with Evelyn. She won- dered how she ever hated such a dear girl. After Evelyn recovered she prepared for her wedding. It was indeed a wedding. The bride looked lovely in the charmuese gown and orange blossoms. She carried a bridal bouquet of lilies and roses. Miss Brown gave the bride away. The groom was equally as delightful to look upon as the bride, and after the wedding as the two started on their bridal tour every one declared the pair were well suited. Mrs. White was thankful that she was worthy of such a daughter. As for the Coles family they went to Europe and all trace of them was lost. A second joy came to Evelyn after she had recovered she found that her deceased uncle left his fortune to her. So when Harold led Evelyn to the altar he led an equal to him in fortune, but far superior to him in will power. Did you know the greatest difference be- tween man and woman is that a man cannot talk without a text, while a woman can talk without even a pretext. Barber (after a shave)— “Hair dyed, sir?” The Teacher — “Yes, it died about ten years ago.” HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 14. Mattie Revis and Wilmer Hampton. History as we have been taught is the knowledge of events. Herewith we give you a small sketch of our knowledge of events that have happened during our four years in Lincoln High school. If we should try to tell all of the important events v e are sure this Annual would be full of class history. This noble class of “freshies” which en- tered Lincoln High in the year 1910 num- bered one hundred and fifty. It has de- creased wonderfully in numbers since that time. In the second year we had decreased to 116. In the third year we mustered sev- enty in number. Various causes conspired to decin te our ranks, yet each year we car- ried the record of having the largest class that was ever known in the history of Lin- coln. At the beginning of our fourth year our enrollment was 44, a very large num- ber for a senior class in Lincoln. We spent a happy year when we were “freshies.” Only once did sadness over- whelm us and that was when death’s angel visited us and took one of our dearest classmates, Corine Ricketts. Two of our girls left to attend Lincoln Institute, Nellie Revis and Flossie Jones. As this waj our first year and we were just learning the ways of the school there were not many very important events. But we left the dear old “freshie” class with a determination in each one’s mind to do more in our sophomore year. We did do more for we made it one of the most important years in our class history. In this year we had one more death than we had in the freshman year. The Lord saw fit to take from us two of our boy class- mates, Lonney Green and Wendell Crews. THE LINCOLNIAN ); ) L This loss brought much sorrow and loneli- ness to our young hearts. Yet we shall al- ways remember the happy hours and days we spent in school with these dear ones. We must turn from the dark days and record some of the light. The second year was the last year the girls were to spend in the sewing department and it seemed as though each one wished to do more in this department than anywhere else. I think this was done for two reasons. (1) Because we were working girls and loved to sew. (2) Because we had teachers that always tried to make things pleasant for us, and al- ways saw that the work to be done was fin- ished promptly and correctly. These teach- ers at that time were Miss Fredrica Sprague, now happily married to Dr. E. J. Perry of this city, and Miss Carrie Stratford, now a teacher in Texas. We do not mean to leave you to think that the girls did all the work. There are some boys in our class and they did beautiful work in the manual training department un- der the supervision of Mr. Charles West- moreland. We are proud to say that it w ' as at the end of this year that not only the faculty but the public agreed that the man- ual training and domestic science depart- ment had more work on exhibit than ever before in the history of these departments. It was this year that our classmate Willa Dixon left our class to attend Western Uni- versity. As we left the sophomore class, knowing that we had made a good record, we entered the junior class hoping to make a better one. We were very successful in our junior year, although we were very mischievous. There were some very bright scholars in our class and we were liked by most of the teachers. We had two very sad experiences in that year. We lost two of our very dear classmates, Carita Watson and Herbert Rhone. Their places can never be filled in our class, for both were gay and playful and loved by us all. The Junior year was the girls’ first year for cooking and we progressed nicely under the supervision of Miss Grace Hardy, who was domestic science teacher. The Junior year passed swiftly. Before we could clearly realize it, we were gliding into our fourth and last year. At the beginning of this year two of our members left us to attend other schools. They were Goldie Davis, who went to Topeka to attend the high school there, and Hucston Jackman, who went to Minneapolis, Minn. We also lost one girl through matrimony, Miss Ethel Miller. Our class has progressed well this year and we feci confident of leaving a good record behind us for dear old Lincoln High. We have prog- ressed wonderfully this year in cooking under the supervision of Miss Susie Russell, and some of our girls took millinery under the supervision of Miss Russell. We did beautiful work, some of which was on exhibit in with the other needlework. MINE OWN PEOPLE. Could I but sing the goodness of a people loved by God; Feared by those who hate a Race who firmly trod The ways that are right and just to all man- kind ; I would sing in clarion voice that shook the firmaments Praises of this beloved Race of mine. Could I but raise a monument that reached so high — That its apex seemed to pierce the very sky, ( would have writ across it this one lone line, (That all mankind could see all o’er the world) — God first, then this beloved Race of mine. — C„ Leslie Frazier. ( 14 ) THE LINCOLNIAN had lived in and about Kansas City these ten years. . I asked him about each one, but what was the most shocking of ali of his conversation was that Edith Douglas, the quietest of our class, had committed suicide over some love affair. For this reason Eugene Walker grieved so deeply that his parents urged him to go ‘to Arizona for his health. As the train pulled out from the station I settled myself comfortably in the plush seat and picked up a magazine to read. I had a long way to go and had only one change to make. But soon discovered that I had no interest in reading. So I dropped the maga- zine, and allowed my thoughts to wander as fancy might allure. In the midst of my reverie I became vaguely conscious of some one watching me. I looked up and saw that it was Henry Beach, an old classmate of mint ten years ago. I could hardly believe my own eyes. He ap- peared not to have changed much save to become a little more settled. For this he had a plausible reason, he was now married and was the father of seven children. He told me he was on his way home, which is still in Kansas City. I was delighted to converse with him as he was the only passenger on the train with whom I was acquainted. We talked about our old school friends since he When we reached Chicago I made my first change, thus bidding my old school chum adieu, but promising to renew our acquain- tance when I returned to Kansas City, as I had to stay over night in Chicago. I jumped into a taxicab and went to the quietest hotel in town. The machine stopped in front of a pretentious building. All marble and cut stone it towered nine stories in the air and its apartments well correspond with its exterior. Whom do you think were the owners of this elegant hostelry? Maud Hud- gins and Lester Hubbard, who, after marrying had had wonderful success. No one could have hoped for so much from Lester, the class “parrot.” The two young people seemed very happy in their work, being equally ambi- tious and industrious. They told me of many pleasant occurrences from them I learned with surprise that Olga Overall had married and was living out in the suburbs of the city in a beautiful bungalow. THE LINCOLNIAN Around her played two prettv little chil- dren, a girl and a boy. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard had planned to attend the opera that night and invited me to join them. I was as much delighted with the performance as with the courtesy and culture of my hostess. I was unexpressibly surprised in the Prima Donna, who was Elsa Nix, assisted by Joyce Dorsey, Melody Tomlin, Elsoneter Fowler, Willi m Young and William Williams and all members of our class who were able suppor- ters and artistic members of the Opera com- pany. It was indeed a success. After the play, I went behind the scene and made my self known. We iiad a joyous time renewing friendships and exchanging high school con- fidences. It was very late when Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard and myself returned home. I was awakened early next morning, break- fasted in my room and went at once to the station, intending to take the first car. I met Clarence Jones dressed in the blue uniform of a porter. He told me that Ber- tha Williams had recently given her hand to him in mariage. Pie said that Mattie Revis Myrtle Everett, Nellie Bowman, Lillie Smith and Minnie Taylor had finished Spellman Seminary and had gone to Africa as mission- aries under the care of Samuel Winston, who had become one of our greatest Evangelists. During the conversation, I also learned that Mildred Langums, Virginia Akers, and Mamie Lewis were language teachers in Wilberforce University. At last I arrived in Kansas City. The first thing I did was to find a quiet place to stay as my mother and sister had long since moved to Denver. As I moved along I saw many familiar faces, but none seemed to recognize me. I walked on with a bow and a smile. At last I came to a beautiful little bungalow; I saw a little child playing in the yard with her doll. Something about the child attracted my attention. In order to satisfy my curiosity, I went in and rang the bell. To my surprise and delight I beheld Gertrude Baker. She recognized me at once I went in and we talked of old times. She told me she had been married four, years ana from the way everything looked I presumed she got the “Ideal” husband of whom she had often spoken. She told me she had just received a letter from Helen Ewing stating that she and hubby were well and that the next place which they would visit would be Niagara Falls. This fact led me to believe that Helen must have married “George Washington.” She also stated that while in Salt Lake City, they met Alberta Gayton and Flossie Bass who were preparing to startle the entire city soon by a double wedding. Gertrude also told me that Frank Callo- way and Alfred Hampton were mail clerks and Wilbern Johnson was a mechanician in Philadelphia. She told me too, that Pauline Washington had recently received word from distant relatives in Florida to come and reside with them. I felt pleased to hear of Pauline’s for- tunate offer and hoped she would accept it. When Gladys Irving was last heard of, she was exploring the wilderness of Australia. As the next night was Thursday, I decid- ed to go to a dance. In preparing, I discover- ed I needed some little things. I went in search of them. Shortly I came to a large Millinery Store. I looked at it the second time and read it — “Hampton Hunter’s Millinery Store” and with the greatest of pleasure 1 found out that the establishment was owned and managed by Wilma Hamp- ton and Ethel Hunter. When I reached the dance, I paused thun- derstruck — who do you think I saw leading the Grand March? Napoleon McFadden and her husband. I soon sought an opportunity to talk to her. She said that Ethel Cross- waite and Leslie King had just sent her a cablegram stating that they would leave Lon- THE LINCOLNIAN don tli e following day on the tenth and would arrive in the United States in about four weeks, as they were going aroundabout way. Each was accompanied by her fiance. At the dance a hundred dollar lavalicr was given to the best lady waltzer. Who got it? Guess again. After staying a few days in Kansas City, I returned to my home in Denver, Colorado. Every one was glad to see me as I had been traveling for two years. Dovie Murray, ' 14. A BOUT. Characters : Hank Hawkeye Lester Hubbard Von Whangdoodle Eugene Walker It was an awful night. Along the dark and deserted highway a solitary figure stealthily made its way. It was the mighty Hank Hawkeye whose very name caused the stout- est hearts to quail. Malignant hatred gleamed in his right eye and in his left — a cinder. His back pocket bulged suspiciously as if a hand- kerchief had been thrust therein and from Ills belt the cold glint of a nickel-plate watch chain glittered glitteringly. About him the snow drifts were piled high and the fierce north wind whirled the snow flakes against him and cruelly dropped them down his neck. He stumbled along vainly seeking to avoid huge mud puddles, and shield his face from the pitiless hail. The wind roared and howled furiously, whirling great, choking clouds of dust into his eyes. The lightning rolled and crashed, the thunder flashed all about him. It could not have been worse. Above all, the sun flung down its powerful rays with blitering heat, and Hank Ha. keye sighed cautiously as he mopped the dry per- spiration from his alabaster brow and mut- tered between his set teeth, rather his two sets of teeth, “Hist! He cometh 1” He paused for an instant, listening to the silence. Then hastily drawing his trusty lemon- squeezer from his pocket, he cut a great hole in the darkness, stepped inside and dragged the darkness in behind him. A little later a short, seven-foot man swung along the highway. It was F ' itzroy von Whangdoodle, Hank’s deadly enemy. Raising his trusty lemon-squeezer aloft, Hank Hawkeye stepped out and said in a voice choking with emotion and cough drops ; — (To be continued next year.) W. Robert Williams, T4. The music department, under the instruc- tion of Prof. F. J. Work, has accomplished much this year and the school should be very proud of it. Several programs were given and apppreciatcd very much. The musical talent of the pupils not only showed improvement but also the effective elocutionary work brought forth the result of the careful training and preparation that our most able and beloved teacher, Miss C. Brydie, has given the pupils. One of the most remarkable pieces of work was the program which the Seniors present- ed on Negro day, the 6th of March. The au- dience was very attentive and declared it was one of the best productions they ever witnessed. Prof. Grisham was very much pleased and lauded it to the highest. I.

The class is separated into four divisions : Singers, those who play piano and other instruments; those who sing and play; those who cannot perform but can detect the beauty of diffi- cult and high class music. MUSIC. The Imperial quartet of Lincoln High has been a credit to the school and community. It plays only high class music and at high class places. The members are : C. Russell Banks, a junior; R.

In the performance of our duty as God gives us to see, is the real power of success. This power is not seen in achieving high honors or famous deeds, but in doing those things which brings peace to the soul of man. Behind the power of success is a high and noble purpose. A purpose which is not to defeat but to defend the right. This pur- pose once begun and continued with perse- verance and a steady concentration of forces is the only certain way to accomplishment. Prayer guidance and firmness of purpose have been the making of many successful men and women, because they freed their minds of all intimidating occurrences and vexatious remarks. With the sp : rit of true bravery, they were enabled to stand the test. A purpose in view must have its final course. William Lloyd Garrison, who started on his crusade against slavery, with the wealth, prejudices, political parties, and the tradi- tions of the republic marshalled in over- whelming force against him, composed the brave words in the first copy of the Liber- ator, saying, “I am in earnest, I will not ex- cuse, I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard!” These words rang the death knell of slavery. This man was de- termined to stand which was God’s way to shatter that cruel injustice. America, with the idea of liberty before her, amid powerful opposition, has faced several crises during her brief history as a nation. At present there is a greater crisis where- in not this country alone but the nations of the world,- are vitally concerned, which is due to principles that made America the beacon light of all nations and from which civilization has received a lasting moving force in its world-march toward freedom of the people. We are living in a time that is grand. A time destinctive for its power of adaptation to circumstances, a time that is awake to every achievement. And this indeed is that which wins the crown of success. “For the treasures of precious worth, We must patiently dig and dive. For the places we long to fill, We must push and struggle and strive, And always and every where We’ll find in our onward course Thorns for the feet and trials to meet And a difficult river to cross. The rougher the way we take, The stouter the heart and the nerve; The stones in our path we break, Nor e’er from our impulse swerve. For the glory we hope to win, Our labors we count no loss, ’Tis folly to praise and murmur because Of the river we have to cross. So ready to do and to dare, Should we in our places stand, Fulfilling the Master’s will, Fulfilling the soul’s demand; For though as the mountains high The billows may rear and toss, They’ll not overwhelm if the Lord at the helm One more river to cross. Men are mostly like tea leaves. Real strength and goodness does not properly come out until they have been in hot water. THE CLASS OF 1914 SAMUEL WINSTON Vice-President MAMIE LEWIS Secretary W. R.

Act I. A great fete is being held in honor of the coming of age of the- Emperor’s daughter, Princess Chrysanthemum. She is loved by Prince So-True and returns his affections, but he has a rival in the person of Prince So-Sli, who seeks the aid of the Wizard Cat, who catries off the Princess Chrysanthe- mum to the cave of Inky Night, leaving the Emperor and Prince So-Tru distracted at her strange disappearance. Act II. Princess Chrysanthemum, imprisoned in cav,. of Inky Night, with her magic ring summons the Fairy Moonbeam, who is about to help her when she drops ■ the ring and canriot find it. Fairy Moonbeam disappears at the loss of the ring, and the unhappy Princess is left to bewail her fate. Prince So-Tru manages to obtain entrance to the cave and finds the ring, which at once causes Fairy Moonbeam to return and aid him. At this moment the Emperor arrives with his attendants and takes Saucer Eyes prisoner, bearing him in triumph to his palace. Act III. Threatened with torture, Saucer Eyes con- fesses complicity of Prince So-Sli, whom the Emperor orders to instant execution. This is, however, frustrated by the appearance of Princess Chrysanthemum, accompanied by- Prince So-Tru and Fairy Moonbeam with her band. The Emperor Saucer Eyes and So-Sli at the Princess’ request, and gives her hand in marriage to Prince So-Tru, thus bringing everything to a happy con- clusion. Here is a New Recipe. Try It. How to ' Preserve a Husband— Be careful in your selection. Do not choose too young and take only- such as have been reared in good, moral atmosphere. Some insist on keeping them in pickle, while others keep them in soft water. This only makes them sour, hard and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by gar- nishing them with patience, well sweetened with smiles and flavored with kisses to taste. Then wrap them in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devo- tion and serve with peaches and cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years. —From the Nor’easter. The superintendent was examining the school. “Who wrote Hamlet?” he asked. A very frightened little boy rose and said, “Please, sir, I didn’t.” ( 24 ) Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But he, with a chuckle, replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a ■ grin On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that ; At least no one ever has done it.” But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, .A ! first thing we knew he’d begun it; With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit ; He started to sing as he tacked the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did. it. There are thousands to tel! you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you. one by one, The dangers, that wait to assail you ; But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Then take off your coat, and go to it; Just start in to sing, as you tackle the thing, That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it. — Unidentified. THE AWAKENING. (Dedicated to my mother.) How dark. Old World, you seemed to me, 0 Light ! O Hope 1 I sighed for thee ; No calm of peace I had within, Because my’ life was steeped in sin. But now, I love the woods and fields , And I thank God for all life yields; Among its scenes 1 now find peace 1 pray to God, it shall not cease. The sun of faith in beams of light, Illumes my heart ; my hope is bright : And I am rich in tender deeds To all mankind in all their needs. Each day to be like Him I pray, His life was one bright perfect day, From Him I lear.i the truth of life. That only falseness causes strife. When I lay down my life to rest, I’ll live with God and e’er be blest, And in the land where Jesus reigns I’ll sing for aye, angelic strains. C. Russell Banks, ' IS.

Oh, how can we that me word tell, To you we know so fond and well, In all your deeds both great and small, Loyal you were ; you cannot fall. Success is what we wish to you, For life ' s rough path to you is new, Press on with faith ; do not retreat, Struggle to gain the highest scat. But ah ! how can we say goodbye, Without a sigh and tear dimmed eye, Let not the stern world’s selfish strife, Blot out the nobler things in life. It is for you to do and dare, The road to fame is all but bare, Ambition’s flame keep ever bright, For it will lead to works of might. Do not forget old Lincoln High, But let our emblem ever fly, The hour is come and we must tell To you dear friends, Farewell, Farewell! C. Russell Banks, ’IS. THE CLOSE OF SCHOOL.

This lack of interest resulted from the loss of sev- eral of Lincoln’s crack players, The crack football team of 1912 was com- posed of some of the best material that Lin- coln could afford. This eleven was scheduled to play several games; 2 with Western University, 1 with St. Joseph High School, 2 with Sumner High and 1 with St. Louis High. The game with St. Louis High School was called off because the committees could never come together on any terms. All other dates dropped out from fright or other causes. The team succeeded in playing only one game, which was with Western University. This game was lost to Lincoln High at the hands of a Kansas referee and umpire. The boys of old Lincoln gave Western Uni- versity such a shock that they have never succeeded ' in gaining another game with them. The first baseball team of Lincoln High School of 1913, was one of the best that Lin- coln has ever produced. Their promising career was cut short after they played Sumner High. Lincoln High was piling up a score against Sumner that was not very pleasing to sever- al of the Kansas boys. They then started an argument with some of the Missouri boys which terminated in a running fight. Lincoln High school is veryymuch in need of a gymnasium. There is no apparatus with which the boys and girls can exercise them- selves. Since Lincoln High is one of the first class schools it should not be de- prived of this great physical exercise. This class of 1914 leaves with the hope that the gymnasium will be one of those things which has been talked of much but may yet come to pass. Samuel L. Winston, 1914. ( 28 ) THE LINCOLNIAN THE SOPHOMORE LITERARY SOCIETY. Louis G. Wright, Class T6. The Sophomore Literary Society was or- ganized September 24, 1913, and Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, Jr., was elected president, with Miss Roxana Cowden as vice-president, Miss Dorothy Cole, secretary, and Mr. Maceo Williams, treasurer. The society met regu- larly on Thursday, using every second Thursday for a literary and musical pro- gram. On November 13, 1913, Messrs. Fortune Weaver and Floyd Collins went down to defect before the onslaught of Messrs. Maceo Williams nd Edgar Unthank in a spirited debate on “Should Cities Own Their Street Railway Systems?” The judges of the con- test were Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Bigby and Mr. Dawley. January 1, 1914, the club gave a social and dance at the Armory Hall. A very enjoya- ble afternoon was passed with tripping on light fantastic toe and sipping punch between whiles. At the end of Mr. Weaver’s term of office, Mr. Louis G. Wright was elected president, Miss Marie Moore, vice-president. Miss Gen- evieve H. Graves, secretary ant} Mr. Nicholas Smith, treasurer. On March 19, 1914, an excellent program was rendered by the Society to an audience of Freshmen and Sophomores. Under the very capable chaperonage of Mrs. Todd, a delightful day was spent at Swope Park on May 16. The club has progressed rapidly, having a maximum of forty members, a pair of debaters who challenge any other pair in the school, and last, but not the least, plenty of musicians. Rah! Who! Rah!
