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

OFFICERS OF JUNIOR CLUB. our class has nearly always stood second in the weekly Thrift Club deposits and in per- centage. We hope next year to get first place and hold it as well as the Seniors did this year. Many members of the class have had prominent places in school acti vities. Wil- lene Gooch was captain of the girls’ basket- ball team; Kenneth Campbell has been elected captain of the football team for next year. We were proud that several Sophomores com- prised half the girls’ basketball team, namely, Captain Willene Gooch, Zelma Taylor and Virgie Warren. During the first semester we had the death of Harry McCassidy, who was one of our brightest and most respected classmates. The class feels that it lost a precious jewel. Rosa- leen Johnson, who has been on the sick list for a number of months, and is still unable to attend school. We hope by next year she will be able to resume her regular class work. Since the class was so large there were sev- eral members of the class assigned to differ- ent groups to take up the monthly dues : Alberta Stubbs, Cirlee Miller, Edith Tandy, Sarah Moten, Gladys Lewis, Eli Loga n, Eliz- abeth Morris, Luther Hatcher, Hackett Hardi- son, Emmett Wyatt and Mattie Davidson. Although the class has lost several of its members, the number of pupils still is not to be ridiculed. Here’s hoping that all of the 132 pupils now belonging will return to the ranks of the Junior Class next fall ready to go “over the top.” BERTHA LOGAN, Reporter, ’22. THE JUNIOR CLASS. The Junior Class of Lincoln High, 1920, wish to give their good wishes and hope of progress to the Senior Class. We hope that we will be able to do our duty as a Senior as you have during the past year. We have been in Lincoln High for three years, during which time we have learned that self control, self reliance and diligence are three essen- tials needed every day. The Junior Class has progressed greatly during the able rule of our faithful president, Cecil Newman. Every officer for the first semester and second worked hard and helped to keep the Junior Class at the top. In this way we want to thank them all. We held many social evenings and at one we were fortunate to have some members of Sumner High present. We were honored by giving a rhetorical every two weeks; every Junior Class has that honor which is received very highly. We hope that all the Juniors will stay in school. There is only one more year. Why quit? Every member enter L. H. S. in Sep- tember and have a seat in the Senior sec- tion. Miss Lynden, Mr. Ellison and Mr. Steward we could not leave without expressing our love and appreciation to you for your help during this year. We hope that our next supervisors will be as helpful to us as you. We want to thank our many teachers for help given us during our three years here. The custodian gets the same thanks.
