Page Four The Lincolnian EDITORIAL We, the members of the staff in preparing this Annual Lincolnian for the year ending in June, 1922, have endeavored to picture not only the activities of our class during the past year, but also to portray the more person- al and characteristic resemblances of school life which in the future may serve to bring back memories of our dear high school days, inspiring us to seek better and higher ideals in real life. It gives us much pleasure to prepare this material, for we fully realize that our efforts shall not have been in vain. We wish to pub- licly thank Mr. Marsden and Miss Brydie for the untiring efforts which they have so faith- fully and so diligently put forth in the com ' pilation of this issue. The inevitable Father Time is lowering the W1 curtain signifying the finis of our high school career. Another graduating class holding the prized, proudly esteemed diplomas, is about to enter another era of life. That our class has played its part well manifests itself in the fact that we are permitted to leave the stage with honorable recommendations. Now we must leave and give to the oncoming actors from the ward schools ample opportunity to dis- play their ingenuity equally as well. This has been a year in which the entire sc hool has had to strive under many difficul- ties. But in spite of the unfavorable condi- tions and with many struggles, we have man- aged to bring about the flourishing of our school activities. Although devoid of unusual achievements, we are delighted to know that our school has progressed steadily and sub- stantially. 1 9 CLASS ] H [i STORY 2 2 We were a happy group of youngsters that entered school September, 1921 for we were determined to begin the school year right and to stick to our work until the end of the school year. We realized we could not succeed with- out the co-operation of each senior so with Miss Brydie and Mr. Marsden as our advisors, we were organized into a club. The follow- ing were elected officers for the first semester: Ruth Dixon, President; Zelma Taylor, Vice- President; Clarence Wright, Secretary; Helen Taylor, Asst. Secretary; Lawrence McCor- mick, Treasurer; Helen Taylor, Class Re- porter; Amos Banks, Chaplain; Calvin Young and Virgie Warren, Cheer Leaders. The chairmen of the different committees were as follows: Mattie Davidson, Social Com- mittee; Marie Wilson, Program Committee; Elma Tomlinson, Sick Committee; Hermena Clay, Attendance Committee. As Officers of the Lincolnian staff we elect- ed: John Bell, Editor-in-Chief; Hazel Harpole, Associate Editor; Kenneth Campbell, Busi- ness Manager. Although the club was hindered very much by the repairing on the building, chiefly the Assembly Hall, it progressed remarkably well during the first semester. The student body as a whole were very much grieved, because they were unable to have their morning assemblies and the rhetoricals that were usual- ly rendered every two weeks by the Junior and Senior classes. Despite this handicap the spirit of the club never died or slackened. The officers of the first semester were mostly responsible for this spirit and their services were highly appreciated. On February 7, 1922 the following Of- ficers were elected for the last semester: Ruth Dixon, President; Clifton Andrews, Vice-President; Clarence Wright, Secretary;

AN ODE TO LINCOLN Oh Lincoln dear, the time is here, And much to us it means; Although we’re forced to shed a tear Yet, this fulfills our dreams. II III When we first came within your walls, In the fall of the year Eighteen, We spent much time traveling your halls, To see what could be seen. We learned to love your colors bright, The dear old gold and blue, And when they happened in our sight Our love increased for you. g IV Glad days were those, aye glad indeed, When in thy halls we’d meet; We sang and laughed and disagreed, And there was no deceit. Deep is the love in us you wrought, Its bottom cannot be found; And never before this have we thought How close to you we’re bound. VI 6 Lincoln, as long as memories last We shall be glad to recall What a friendly guide you’ve been in the past, And how grateful are we all. VII Oh Lincoln dear, the time demands The parting of our ways, In our sad hearts the memory brands Our souls with gone-by days. Clarence Toko Wright, ’22. John Daniel Bell, 22.
