1920 Glass 5Ht$tor 1920 The Class of 1920 has a most interesting and inspiring history. On coming to Lincoln High in the fall of 1916, we were typical freshmen — green, puzzled and friendless. But our “greenness” didn’t last long, for in a few days we learned the customs of the school and because of its many lovable characters, the Freshman Class became the school’s pet class. Early in the fall, we organized our class club under the direction of one of our dearest and most helpful teachers, Mr. Pitt- man. The work of our club was well done under the direction of our advisor and presi- dents, Theresa Coleman and Roberta Chinn. Our work in the first physical training ex- hibition was a credit to the school. A spell- ing match between members of each class proved that a Freshman, Miss Beatrice Har- din, was the best speller in the school. On “Visitors’ Day” the Freshmen proved their interest and love for Lincoln by bringing the largest number of visitors. In the midst of our happiness, the Death Angel came and claimed one of our favorite companions, Henry Blanchard. The companion who ac- cidentally shot him little dreamed what a great loss was being inflicted on Lincoln High School. So, though many triumphs, joys and sor- rows came to us, we lived through the year successfully and the one hundred and sixty three who enrolled ended the year with the desire to make the next year better. Our Sophomore year started with the en- rollment of one hundred and fifty members. We had become watchful, alert and helpful Lincolnites, and all our efforts were spent in making new students comfortable. This year our advisor, Miss Venerable, strengthened our class pride, and, therefore, our school pride. Theresa Coleman and DePriest Wheeler were our class presidents during this year. The class kept up a better attendance than any other class; our class led in the amount of money deposited in the School Bank, and usually led in the percentage of depositors ; with the much loved Miss Jones, our class worked hard in the interest of the Y. W. C. A. work in Lincoln High School, and our class still held the record of having the best spellers in the school. Of course, Lincoln had a service flag and of the fifteen stars on the flag, one was for a Sophomore, Mr. William Jones. We were and are proud of our soldier boy. This year another classmate entered the Great Unknown. In losing this friend, Christina Cowden, the Class of ’20 feels that one of its most beautiful, dear and useful members has gone where she may ever rest. In June the class was much wiser and more thoughtful in consequence of its varied ex- periences during the year. September, 1918, saw seventy-six of us in Lincoln as Juniors. This year we lost the supervision of our former advisor, Miss Ven- erable. But it was her careful work with us as Sophomores that made us stick together.. Under Mr. Steward and Mr. Ellison, our ad- visors, and Marshal Love and Earl Clark, our presidents, the club became stronger. Our triumphs this year were as great as in former years. We had the most money in the SchooL Bank; we had the most workers in interest of the Y. W. ; we had excellent programs and we adapted ourselves to every situation that confronted us. Our Junior-Senior re- ception was a big success and all attended: left with the conclusion that receptions at Lincoln High School are as delightful as re- ceptions at Lyric Hall. All who attended the Junior play, “At the End of the Rainbow,” wondered at the remarkable talent of Misses Theresa Coleman, Mabel Grant, Ernestine Wade and Mr. Terrel Taylor; and they praised the patience and care of the trainers, Miss R. Cowden and Mr. Morrison. Our Junior year ended with each member fully qualified for Senior work. We organized a vacation club, but in spite- of its work we lost some of our most bril- liant members, including Beatrice Hardin Catherine Smith and Grant Venerable. At last the year came when we should be the leaders of dear old Lincoln. Oh! the joy of being a Senior and deserving to be a Senior! Our last year is unforgetable. To lead in attendance, to possess the Thrift Ban- ner, to excel in school activities, to be able to prepare food for more than six hundred pupils, to surpass other classes in dignity and poise, to be closer to the faculty and Mr. Lee, to possess Miss Brydie and Mr. Mars- den as private property, to do all these things is what being Seniors has meant to the sev- enty graduates of 1920.
