JincolniaN I I 1 JLTE, the class of ’28, who now are leav- ing dear old Lincoln to seek our for- tune in other walks of life, see the necessity of making a “will” to bequeath our many valuable belongings, hoping they will help those left behind to remember us with af- fection. To the Junior class, we will the most dig- nified senior section with new seats with each student’s name on them so the owners can help and retain their dignity by walking to assembly. To the Sophomores, we will a little more knowledge, a little more dignity, and a little more pep. To the Freshmen, we will the right to run the school with their senior brothers and sisters. To Mr. Cook, we will a Cadillac straight- eight as his “Ford” is getting too small for its many duties. To Mr. Ellison, we will a pair of “taps” for his shoes so he can at least be heard when he is approaching. To Miss Brydie, we will a little more pa- tience to go with her already sweet dispo- sition. To Mrs. Groves, we will this carload of paper so she will be able to pass out nap- kins with the sandwiches so that the filling can be found more easily. To Mr. Carroll, Miss Claggett, and Miss Glenn, we will a private hall and an extra period to carry on their most interesting conversations. To the Basketball team, we will three more good players like George Pennington, Clifford Warren and McKenzie Coleman, to win the championship next year. To the French Club, we will the honor of being the outstanding club of the school so- cially and intellectually. To Louise Lewis, Florecia Fields and Edola Spencer, we will house-keeping equip- ment to be installed in the Gym so that they may stay at school and play basketball for- ever. To Nollie Whitaker, Aileen Woods and Lilia Mae Marshall, we will a printing press as we know their tongues get tired from their strenuous duty of relating the latest gossip. To Oliver Bell, we will J. R. Lillard’s dra- matic and business-like ability. To the Orchestra, we will all new instru- ments and some more industrious students to make their excellent instructor, Mr. Jones, realize his ambition. To the Student Council, we will a regular court room so their work in the law depart- ment can be easily carried out. To the Spanish Club, we will free tickets to Spain so that they may better understand the customs of their foreign brothers. To the mixed quartette, we will a gilt edge copy of the “Fortune Tellers’ Quar- tette” to be reserved and used ten years from today as we know the one they have is just about gone. To the Football team, we will some more good players like Echols Elliott, Melvin Gant and Henry Graves. To the Booster’s Club, we will new uni- forms and a good leader so that the school will have unified cheering throughout the year. To Ralph Byrd, we will this book entitled “Why I Am a Great Man,” hoping he will find a new way of expressing himself. To the Lincolnite Staff, we will a fully equipped press-room so they can produce our wonderful paper, the Lincolnite. To the entire student body, we will many happy moments in their sojourn in Lincoln and a bright and happy future to all. We hope you will all find use for our little gifts and use them as if they have al- ways been yours. Thus ends the will of the class of ’28. Jennie E. Lewis, ’28. I I I Page Tiventy-seven

[incolniaN I I I I I I I 1 I I I I Al E take unusual pride in presenting to v our readers the Lincolnian Queen for 1928 — Miss Vendetta Jones. The contestants this year, Miss Jones, representing Mr. Marsden’s group ; Miss Bertha Sims, representing Miss Baker’s group, and Miss Wilhelmina Harrison from Miss Brydie’s group, entered into the cam- paign with unusual enthusiasm, each de- termined to render a good account of her- self. It was not surprising, therefore, that the contest proved the closest of any yet held, with only a few votes difference be- tween Miss Jones and Miss Sims, who ran second. Miss Jones has impressed us all with her modesty and reserve, qualities which were evident throughout the contest. We are wishing for her continued success as she leaves old Lincoln. In whatever lines her lot may be cast, may she ever be — Queen. I I Page Twenty -nine
