? IincolniaN The Lincolnian Queen O NE of the most interesting features in connection with the Lincolnian sub- scription campaign is the popularity contest, the winner of which is crowned the Lincolnian Queen. Miss Anna May Lvons, representing Miss Brydie’s group, by triumphing over Miss Dorothy Westmore- land, of Mr. Marsden’s group and Miss Winona Bo oker, of Mrs. Goss ' group, reigns over the hearts of her loyal Lincolnites. Miss Lyons, a graduate of the W. W. Yates School, has been outstanding in the various school activities. She was an honor student in her freshman year and also a member of the cast of the freshman play. She attracted special attention as a model in the Fashion Review staged by the domes- tic art department last year. During her senior year she had the honor of being the first girl elected to the responsible office of president of the student council. She has proved worthy of the confidence the student body placed in her. As a member of the dramatics department she has done commendable work in the Christmas Pa- geant, and in “A Watch, a Wallet, and a Jack of Spades.” She is also in the cast of the senior play now in rehearsal. The Lincolnian wishes her success and happi- ness. Long Live The Queen! ! Page Twenty-nine

g 5 ?- Bingo Out from the house at the break of day Came a fair maiden in kitchen array, And she said as she threw the bologna away “It ' s Bingo. ,, Down the alley came Towser McGee, Of no special breed, but a dog one could see Of vastly more sense than he had pedigree, “Toward Bingo.” He sniffed the remains with his delicate nose But devoured them not, perhaps you sup- pose, Ah! no! But he thought of the sorrows and woes “Of Bingo.” He carried the fragments with reverent awe, Across the back yard, and there with his paw, Dug a hole, put them in and thenceforth never saw “Poor Bingo.” But his work wasn’t done, for he trotted away And stole from a maiden a dainty bouquet And returned to the back yard, a requiem to say “Over Bingo.” He laid the bouquet on the grave of his friend And then as his thoughts took a sorrowful trend, He wondered if he’d come to the same tragical end “As Bingo.” Earlene Wright, ’ 27 .

X — High school boys! High school girls! What a world of memory unfurls! What a flood of recollection Comes with that reflection Of pretty, stately, young brunettes, Studious prudes and gay coquettes; Heads lined with Latin and thatched with curls, High school boys and high school girls.
