We know you love to have your fun, That’s why you always tease. Oh Gee, its fun to go to school We sit around all day, Our Sophomore year was number two And all we did was play. Then came the third, our Junior year, The dearest one of all; We had nothing but our grades to fear If you will just recall. Our Senior year is here at last Amid the strife and pain, When we think of all the joy that’s past, We wish we were Freshies again. Leona Blalock, ’31. Page Twenty-Three 1931

LINCOLNITE The Student Council CHARLES CALDWELL, President This year again, the class of ’31 triumphed in the annual election for President of the Student Council. Thus the Senior’s influence has notably been directly felt in the work of that organization. After the inauguration of the new president, Charles Caldwell, the different com- mittees were appointed and began to function. The first problem attacked was that of bettering the work of the cafeteria. Suggesions for remedying its service were secured from the student body and many of these were put into effect. We now have not only many new dishes each day, but a hot dog and hamburger stand has been added. The next problem was that relating to the conduct of the students in our library. Here, too, improvements have been put into use. The committees of award, safety, investigation, foreign relation, recreation and jus- tice have been doing good work. The justice department has made a very fine showing; the recreation department has developed a very efficient system of checking. Many socials have been sponsored by the recreation committee. The officers of the Student Council are: President, Charles Caldwell; Vice-President, Arthur Anderson; Secretary, Christine Cole; Treasurer, Florcia Fields. 1931 Page Twenty-Five
