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

LINCOLNITE R. O. T. C. As in former years one of the most outstanding departments in Lincoln High School, and one that has received many compliments is the neat, trim and well drilled R. O. T. C. unit. Our military training teaches three things: physical development, citizenship train- ing, and character building. The boys not only learn the fundamentals of military tactics and skillful maneuvers, but are taught the finer points of courtesy and etiquette. The Lincoln High School battalion has been unusually active this year, having taken part in many city-wide functions, and has been highly praised by Captain Mitchell in his annual inspection of the battalion. The honor of battalion major for 1931 went to Cadet James King. During his year at Lincoln, Major King has been an outstanding cadet in military and school work and is the winner of three medals. Miss Dora Louise Walton was elected Sponsor Major of the battalion. The Honorary Captains were appointed as follows: Company A, Anna Marie Tompkins; Company B, Lois Drew; Company C, Christine Cole; Company D, Frances Edwards. Due to the instructive genius of Master Sergeant, William L. Bryson, the battalion has been highly praised by several distinguished persons and due to the effective drilling of the captains, the unit has gained much popularity. The Captains are as follows: Company A, Winston Williams; Company B, William Copes; Company C, Herman Glass; Company D, Floyd Brown.
