The dignity of the class may be seen by noticing the action of the members. For as soon as the class colors were se- lected and ribbons secured every member of the class awoke as if by magic and began to exert himself to a noticeable de- gree. This condition may be strange but not new for as we know the first Negro slaves to leave Africa were mastered by their desire for bright colored beads and loud combination of colored cloths. There- fore we have found a novel method of getting real class spirit into every mem- ber. The class wishes to thank the two groups of officers who were responsible for its well being throughout the year, and it wishes to especially commend the efforts of Mr. Earl Clark who came into the class knowing practically no one who has made the class the envy of the entire school.

32 THE LINCOLNIAN OFFICERS OF SOPHOMORE CLUB. THE SOPHOMORE CLUB. The Sophomore class met on September 16, 1918, for the purpose of organizing a class club, the purpose of which was to promote class unity and school spirit. The following members were elected as offi- cers: Viola Crawford, president; Ruth Dixon, vice-president; Anna Moore, sec- retary; Edward Canterbury, sergeant-at- arms; Rosetta Nolan, reporter, and Miss N. E. Venerable, treasurer. The chairmen of the different committees were as fol- lows: Cecil Newman, program committee; Mamie Mayberry, executive committee; Beatrice Hawkins, social committee, and Ella Mae Washington, sick committee. It was decided that the club should meet every first and third Wednesdays and that dues should be five cents a meeting. Although the club was hindered very much by the influenza ban and other ob- stacles, it progressed remarkably well dur- ing the first term. Near the end of this term, Miss Corrine Thomas, our ex-physical training teacher, was called from our presence. The Sopho- mores, as a token of esteem presented her with an ivory manicuring set. The officers of the first term worked faithfully and their services were highly appreciated. On April 9, 1919, the following officers were chosen: Cecil Newman, president; Edward Canterbury, vice-president; Em- mett Goff, secretary; Helen Floyd, assis- tant secretary; Chester Clark, sergeant-at- arms, and Miss N. E. Venerable, treasurer; Julia Maefield, social committee; Viola Crawford, program committee; Mamie Mayberry, executive committee; Rosalie Murray, sick committee, and Gomez Rob- inson and Pauline Tarwater, cheer leaders. The Sophomores have been very regular in their depositing in the bank and gen- erally ranked first in the percentage. The Sophomores are proud to know that the class was the second to reach the one hundred per cent mark in the Y. W. C. A. campaign. The team workers were Anna Moore and Ruth Dixon; the boosters, Ros- etta Nolan and Gladys McCoy. We all feel
