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 .

? 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

JincolniaM ? We Sincerely Hope That- Lincoln High School will get five new buildings so that there will be ample room for the children of the 1927 graduates. A fly never descends upon Mr. Steward’s dome for it may slip and break a bone. Edward Sales, although slightly handi- capped, will become a second Rudolph Val- entino. Lucile Bluford gains enough courage to admit her love for ? Anna Lyons and Winona Booker retain their “winning ways” which often cause masculine hearts to flutter. In the future Wallace Saunders will be more careful in handling of nitric acid. (Ask Roland Scott why.) Carl Chandler and Celestine Johnson will invite us all to their wedding in 1932. Anna McCampbell, Alberta Martin, Earlene Wright, Cornelia Horn and Mildred Kimbrough will unlock the door that leads to Phi Beta Kappa fame. We hope the members of the faculty will put their cars to good use during the sum- mer vacation and not get “pinched” for speeding. Next year the Seniors will not become in- terested in “loafology.” The Lincolnite will grow to be eight pages in the next two years. Most sincerely do we hope that Mr. May- berry’s offspring will not inherit their dad’s aptness for giving one-word tests. The basket ball team will make things interesting for Sumner in 1928. Judd Swannegan will some day realize the role he played so well in “An Adopted Cinderella.” The dinner hour is nigh For which we ever sigh, As brothers we from land and sea Have gathered here at learning’s seat Where we may learn to think and eat — A jolly crew. We each one love a book But more we love the cook; Our looks they say Each day betray Our preference for food and drink. We scarcely ever think. Ah! Hungry ’27. We’re jolly, don’t you see? , A nd this we’ll ever be, For day and night With all our might We sing our songs and gaily jest And play and eat with wondrous zest. The jolly ’27. Earlene Wright, ’27. X Will Joyce Reedy bob her hair? Will Ella Starks grow a trifle taller? Will Mrs. Goss be strict on her Senior girl’s advisory period? Will Lucile Bluford lose her little laugh? Will Winona Booker take high school seri- ous ? Will Carl Chandler be as important as he would like to be? Will Troy Carr get tall? Will Earl Evans be serious in anything? Will Geraldine Williams find her wonderful admirer ? Will Mr. Morrison have a class that will not continually hear “shut up?” Will Paul Gamble lose some of his height. Winona Booker, ’27. The study of German will find favor with the students next year. Even the lapse of time will fail to wipe that fascinating smile from Katie Mullln’s face. Charles Gates will finally admit that Ethel Fisher has literally danced her way into his timid heart. Winnifred Kelley will lose her disposition but retain her golden voice. (What about it Lawrence Holmes?) Thelma Martin will take a likeness to ? as she has to the piano. Without . fear, Elizabeth Caldwell will ever remain so modest and dear. (We almost know) that somebody will donate a motorcycle to Mr. Cook, then the old gent can daily ride from earth to heaven and still keep up with the class of You’re welcome, Roland Scott, ’27. 1 Mt(2g |== — — — — — — — If f x — Bo You.? Ever smile, Harold Gamble? Try to make friends, Maxine Billings ? Know your place, Corrinne Donaldson? Always go to work happily, Eurabell Hous- ton ? Think before you speak, or just fly off the handle spontaneously, Geraldine Wil liams ?
