Juniors THE LINCOLNIAN Page I 9 JUNIOR NEWS. The Junior girls have been divided into two clubs, the Fleur De Lis Girls and the American Bea uty Girls. They are, in a way, Y. W. G A. clubs. Miss Brown and Miss Wells are the respective presidents. The organizers of the clubs were Miss Venerable and Mrs. Todd, to whom a great deal of credit is due. The girls have entered the clubs with all their heart and good results will soon be appearing. Miss Venerable’s rhetoric class debated on the following: “Resolved, that Culpurnia was a stronger character than Portia,” and “Re- solved, that Brutus was a stronger character than Caesar.” In Loth debates the affirma- tives were victorious. The two Junior physics classes visited the electric light plant on Secon ' d Street and Grand Avenue, March 28. Professor Pittman, physics teacher, and Miss Simms acting as chaperons. Everyone enjoyed the visit and we all feel our knowledge of electricity is larger than before. The Junior Girls Cooking Class was divided into several groups this winter, each group of which served a breakfast, luncheon and dinner. The meals were excellent and the tabls very attractive. HAVE YOU HEARD THAT— A certain young lady, who is a merry Jun- ior, said if there was anything about her m the Lincolnian she would faint. I am sure if she should faint we would all be willing to give her a reward. Most of the boys nowadays, as Billy Sun- day said, are becoming “False alarms.” Watch out, girls. The Freshies are working terribly hard to get out of the milk fed class. Is it true? Little Miss L. is a very sweetly disposed girl, but will not pay any attention to boys this year. The boys are all hoping she will soon wake up and give at least one boy a straight look. Will she or will she not? Why is that the more you study the less you get and the less you study the more you get, and if you don’t study at all you get F? Some people will make fun of others when they look none too good themselves. A certain person doesn’t practice what he or she preaches. Do you know who it is? Guess who? Every class ha ' s a joker. Who is the joker in the Junior class? Every class has someone who will always keep everyone laughing. Who is it? WHOSE BY- WORDS? Well! I don’t care. Shoot ! Dog! Oh! you don’t say! Well, sir! Gosh ! “I declare !” “Ain ' t it so !” “Don t you think I know?” ‘Aou say you did, did you?” “Good night.” “I can tell.” “O, shoot!” “Boom! Boom!” “Search me !” “It you say it again, I’ll scream!” “Oh ! Fidelle-sticks” “Dingbust my toplights.” “Hush, your fuss” “Ain ' t it a shame !” “Cut my throat !” “Uh-huh !” ‘Wou don’t say so!” “I think I sh?H !” “Excuse me “I can’t say . “Oh! My!” REUBEN CURRY The boys’ idol {Baseball and Football LEO TRIMBLE Small, but Oh my — Being Irma’s Train

FOND RECOLLECTIONS When we received our certificate on that memorial day, the thought that filled our minds was that we would be ‘High School students the coming year. But alas ! the year to which we had been looking forward so anxiously was a disappointment at the first For, we went to school the first school day with our programs and not being accustomed to the various rooms and not knowing where to find them often asked one of the Upper Class students about its locality and, as a result, were directed to the wrong room and. we, in our greenness, often rushed in the rooms were in progress. We all survived this embrassment and soon were enjoying our Freshman year. The next year although we were not called ‘Freshies were nothing but Freshmen over, for we were not of any more consequence. But nevertheless we had many good times and considered ourselves as good a class as any and were looking forward to our junior year. At last the ‘junior year arrived and we were enrolled. Immediately we begin to enjoy our- selves for no one slighted us and we we were merry and happy. Of course we were disap- pointed frequently. While, Geometry puzzled us all and Physics was a mystery and Cicero difficult, we reveled in Rhetoric and History Now as our eventful, happy junior year is drawing to a close we are now looking for- ward to our Senior year. What will it hold for us? — Third Year Reporter. THE NEW JUNIOR Y. W. C. A. CLUBS. About March 29, the Junior girls were or- ganized into the Y. W. C. A. Club by Mrs. Todd, Miss Venerable, and Miss Simms. We were divided into two sections numbers One and Two. After we were organized we chose our names, number one being called “Fleur De Lis ..’ and number two “American Beauty” Clubs. The purpose of these clubs is “To Learn Something, to Do Something for Others and to Have a Good Time.” The A. B. C. Club has already adopted a pair of twins from the Orphans’ Home. We agreed to assist in cloth- ing them. On Thursday, May 3, the two clubs gave a delightful social together. Miss Gertrude Baker was our guest. We played games after which the chairmen of the social committees, Beatrice Baston and Annie. Weaver, served us a very dainty lunch. We hope in the near future we will have a Y. W. C. A. building in which to entertain our clubs. American Beauty Club — Doris Wells, Pres.; Ceola Farley, Sec’y. Fleur de Lis Club — Beatrice Parson, Sec’y.

What some things used for : Milk for babies, kittens and Freshmen. Air for breathing purposes, and when warmed for Sophomores. The lives of our Junior class reminds us, That we can have a good time, And departing leave behind us Not a footprint on the sands of time. The lives of our Freshmen all remind us That we by simply acting green Can pass easily by into our next year Scarcely seen. The lives of our Seniors all reminds us That we can studious be And, by acting good and wise Graduating before the school Very easily. T. O. D. D. S. Mrs. Todd’s rhetoric class debated, “Re- solved, that George Washington was a model president.” After fast and furious debate the affirmative side was victorious. The two physics classes visited the Ford Automobile Manufacturing Company the past month and saw the process of making the cars. After the visit they lunched on a hill opposite the factory.

Little Curtis, aged two, came running in from play one day. “Mamma,” he said, “I want a biscuit and some butter.” “I told him that he could have a biscuit, but couldn’t have any butter between meals.” “I don’t want the butter between meals,” he said. “I want it between my biscuit.” Proverbs : — Grass is green, so are the Freshmen. St. Joe is for the insane, also for the Sopho- mores. Heaven is for the good, also for the Juniors. Jail is for the unruly, and incidentally for the Seniors.
