LINCOLNITE Giftonian As I sat musing and meditating the other day I had a vision. I was instructed to give to the following pupils a certain gift or dedication that would behefit them most. I hope that they will be received in the good faith in which they are given. To Vera Woods, I give the book “Les- sons in Dignity” by Gladys Wright. To Aaron Moore, I dedicate the song, “Reaching for the Moon”. To Verlon Buchanan, I dedicate the book on “Jumping at Conclusions”. To Helen Adkins, I give a bottle of Cod Liver Oil, that she may become healthy and robust. To Alta Locke, I give 500 dollars that she may open the “Locke and Tangle” hair dressing shop. To Charle s Caldwell, I give the book, “Love Lispings of a Lisping Lover”. To Leola Wilson, I give a new Ford roadster, that she may ride with Billy forever. To Corrine White, Eunice Anderson, and Leona Blalock, I give a bottle of “Stretcho”, the new height producing tonic. To Booker Moore, I give the right to edit a book on “Secrets of Graduating in Seven Years”. To Oscar Ward, I give a contract with Warner Brothers as a double for John Barrymore. To Jeraldine Adamson, I give the lock- jaw, that there may be peace in the fourth hour Chemistry class. To Elmer Bates, I give the opportunity to make a lecture, and divulge the secrets of how to go to high school four years and not buy one book. To Elise Stewart, I give several boxes of Dr. Shrinko’s reducing pills. To Mrs. Collins, I give a portable ele- vator, to be put in use in going to Miss Smothers’ room. To Samuel Booker, I give the right to repeat all of Mr. Miayberry’s questions. To Wyatt Logan, I give a Grand piano, that he may play operas all day long. To Charles Wilkerson, I dedicate a whole volume of books on “Varied Forms of Playing”. To James Epps, I give Juanita Mullen, that “his” happiness may be complete. To James King, I give advice on “How To Capture and Keep a Girl”. To Theon Lewis, I give a position with a vaudeville company as an acrobatic dancer. To Anna Marie Tompkins, I give the privileges of talking where ’ere she may go. To Herman Glass, David Jollie, and Bruce Anderson, I give a box of “Pep”. To Bernard Jackson, I give an automa- tic arch lifter so that he will not have to stoop to pick up his arches when they fall. To Charles Perry, I give a bed in Mr. Mayberry’s room so that he can sleep more comfortably. To William Fowler, I give a tardy ad- mit to each of his classes. Marvin Whitaker, ’31 Acknowledgements The Lincolnite Staff of 1931 takes this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge the untiring efforts of the teachers, sponsors, and friends who have aided in making the Lincolnite a success.
