OFFICERS OF FRESHMAN CLUB. Bernice Harvey and Bennie Daugherty, cheer leaders. The officers named above were very loyal to their class and duties. With the hearty co-operation of the officers and students we have been benefited and advanced. Owing to the size of the Freshman Class it was necessary to divide it into four groups, each group having a supervising teacher and the necessary officers. The groups were ar- ranged as follows : Group No. 1 — Mr. Pittman, supervising teacher; Charles Smith, president; Walter Bell, secretary; Dorothy Dillard, treasurer; Bernice Harvey, chairman of program com- mittee. Group No. 2 — Miss Buchanan, supervising teacher; Juanita Mills, president; Alberta Bean, secretary; Katie Rogers, treasurer; Dorothy Beach, chairman of program com- mittee; Woodie Lee Walder, sergeant-at- arms. Group No. 3 — Mr. Howell, supervising teacher; Willa Robinson, captain; Areola Cubie, first lieutenant; Piccolia Davis, second lieutenant; Lucille Thomas, adjjutant; Ruby Wells, sergeant-at-arms. Group No. 4 — Miss Baker, supervising teacher; Carrie Winston, president; Alfred Recks, secretary; Theodore Koontz, treas- urer; Eunice Johnson, chairman of program committee; Hattie Chase, chairman of sick committee. During the first semester, although the Freshman Class was improving greatly along almost every line, there was not enough in- terest taken in the Thrift Club, consequently our class was always below what it should have been, but after several lectures were made on thrift by some of the teachers, we began to climb nearer to our standard. There were also some things of which the Freshman Class was very proud; first, the new two-room annex at Attucks School, which was erected entirely by Freshman boys; second, the vic- tory of the Freshman girls over the girls of the other classes at the Girls ' Inter-Class meet on the Paseo. February 10, 1920, the Freshman Class met to elect officers for the second semester. The following officers were elected : Charles Smith, president; Bennie Daugherty, vice- president; Jewel Johnson, secretary; Wesley Elder, assistant secretary; Leola Tory, treas- urer; Juanita Mills, class reporter; Walter Bell, assistant reporter; Carrie Winston and Albert Leak, cheer leaders; Capitola Richard- son, chairman of sick committee; Dorothy Beach, chairman of social committee; Carrie Brown, chairman of program committee. Our second group of officers worked as earnestly and faithfully as the first, and with some difficulties are encouraging and helping us in so many ways that we are hoping that next year ' s Sophomore Class will be a record Page Twenty-six The Lincolnian

CAPTAINS AND SECRETARIES OF LIBERTY MEMORIAL ORGANIZATION. CLUB AND CLASS NOTES SOCIAL LIFE AT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL There is an old saying, “all work, and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Heeding this some years ago a group of teachers organized themselves into a committee to plan for bi- monthly school socials. These socials were to be given every other Friday night, from 8 to 11 o’clock. Every social was to be man- aged alternately by each class. The first social of this school year was given in Lincoln High School Auditorium, as a welcoming to the Freshmen, by the Senior Class. A very fine program was given, and after that the remainder of the time was spent in dancing. On the night of October 31, a Hallowe’en party was given by the Frolic Club. Everyone was masked. Indeed a most enjoyable eve- ning was spent. Just such socials have been given all the year, and they have proven very beneficial. These socials bring the entire student body together and give them the opportunity to meet one another. The dancing is very grace- ful and no form of vulgarity is seen. Some very interesting programs are given at each entertainment. Besides these affairs, we have had plays and other activities, which greatly added to the social life. These entertainments have created much class rivalry and enthusiasm. Then, too, these affairs have brought to us many friends and parents, who were anxious to become better acquainted with the school. Without these socials our school would have been less lively, and many students would be tempted to visit questionable places. We feel these parties have been very valuable, and hope they will continue during the next year. No matter how much education a person has, if he does not know how to act in so- ciety, he is considered very green. Everyone wants to be polished at a party, and our school sociables have taught many rules of etiquette. FRESHMAN CLASS. The Freshman Class met September 17, 1919, and organized a club.
