We are indeed grateful to those who have aided us by sending us their ads. These have not only elevated our paper but have advertised the business activities of the Colored race. To those who have assisted us by buying this paper we owe a debt of gratitude. Our appreciation to these faithful customers is unsurpassed and we sincerely hope that they have en- joyed our publication. We are especially thankful to the stu- dents of Lincoln High School and to the alumni for their hearty support. The stu- dents have not only gained pleasure by reading the Lincolnian but have had the opportunity of becoming familiar with their future work. All who have been inter- ested in our paper we thank for the help derived and hope that they will support the Lincolnian in the years to come. ROSE EVERETT. CLASS SPIRIT. The spirit of the class of 1919 is more than extraordinary. There has never been a time in the history of our school when the pupils have had more opportunities to exercise their loyalty than this year. But the class of T9 has succeeded in every un- dertaking. Everyone in the class felt the high cost of living but nevertheless, the •class snirit did not wane. We have shown extraordinary class spirit at our school games. When our boys play- ed football and our girls basketball, we were there with our spirit and enthusiasm. We also saved our pennies and nickels in the Thrift Club in spite of war times. Every Monday morning we were at school bright and early because we knew that when the report of the Thrift Club was read for the previous week we would come out ahead of all the other classes. When ourPre.sident notifies us that there will be a meeting of the Senior Class Club every member is there on time ready to trans- act business without delay. What would have been said about dear old Lincoln High during the old clothes week if it had not been for the Seniors? Don’t get excit- ed because the Seniors saved the day as usual, by having more articles and a larger number of pounds than any other class. News came to the girls of the school one day that a beautiful building on 12th and Euclid was being bought for a Y. W. C. A. home, and that every girl in Lincoln High School should become a member. To- encourage the girls it was suggested that the class that became 100 per cent first in this campaign was to be given a banquet by the other classes. In a very short time the Senior class had 100 per cent and was anxiously waiting for the banquet. There was an adding machine purchased last year to be used in the Commercial department. The Senior class rendered its service in paying off this debt. Some other class may measure up to us but we have left our indelible mark. GEORGIA MOORE.
