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

OFFICERS OF SOPHOMORE CLUB. breaking one in work, school spirit and pride, and other requirements. At the beginning of the second semester the Freshman Class had advanced so rapidly in every respect that it is now along the level of the other classes. The slow climb in “thrift” has now brought us where we some- times tie with the Sophomore Class and are sometimes ahead of the Junior Class. By this it is readily seen that we can see the neces- sity and the good in “thrift.” SOPHOMORE CLUB. In September, 1918, 242 ward school grad- uates came as Freshmen to Lincoln High High School. Green they were, but willing and enthusiastic to learn. They made a good impression upon their teachers and school- mates, and when June, 1919, came, most of them left “Old Lincoln” with head and chest lifted high. They had done their best and were proud of the fact. During the summer they worked hard and played and waited for their second year’s work. In September, 1919, 164 wide-awake Sophomores, no less zealous than the year before, returned to take up their work. They met September 17, 1919, to organize a club. The following members were elected as officers for the first semester: Pauleta Smith, president; Esther Collier, vice-president: Wil- helmina Green, secretary; Clarence Wright, assistant secretary; Miss N. E. Venerable, treasurer; Rosaleen Johnson, class reporter; John Bell, sergeant-at-arms. The chairmen of the different committees were as follows: Elma Tomlinson, sick committee; Virgie War- ren, social committee; Carrie Gipson, program committee; Earl Jefferson, membership com- mittee ; Kenneth Campbell, executive commit- tee. Marie Wilson, who was the Sophomore representative in the Athletic Association, made a good secretary. She was wide-awake and always ready to express anything that went on in the meetings. Elma Tomlinson, who was the chairman of the sick committee, carried out her part well. When there was a member sick she would always visit them or carry flowers to show the appreciation of the club. The following officers were elected for the last semester: Kenneth Campbell, president; Luther Hatcher, vice-president; Clarence Wright, secretary; Henry Baker, assistant sec- retary; Culec Miller, treasurer; William Gooch, attendance secretary; Virgie Warren, sergeant-at-arms; Bertha Logan, class re- porter. Chairmen of the different committees were as follows : Esther Collier, sick com- mittee ; Vernice Dudley, membership commit- tee; Ruth Turmus, social committee; Harold Johnson, executive committee. As Harold Johnson felt that he was not capable of hold- ing the chairmanship of the executive com- mittee he resigned in favor of Hattie Jones. The class has made a great improvement over last year in school activities. This year Page Twenty-eight The Lincolnian
