It is composed of nine enthusiastic young ladies who have taken prominent parts in all leading school activities. Most of the girls are members of the Lincoln High School Chorus, also under the efficient direction of Miss Blanche Morrison, which is well-known throughout the city for its many successful appearances on various church and civic programs’. MILDRED MITCHELL, Reporter. Page Twenty jr iLy 0 % . LINCOLN 1ITE Class History Oh, my! Will I ever get this problem solved? I have other lessons to get but let me see — two grams of H2So4 — . I can’t leave this until it is finished. I am so sleepy I can hardly stay awake. I’ll go out on the porch where it is cool. How much better this’ is! Now where was I? Who is that coming down the street? Oh! It’s Aunt Mary. “My dear, you look so worried. What on earth is wrong?” “Oh, Aunt Mary, I can’t solve this problem in Chemistry. I can’t help thinking of the four years I have spent in Lincoln high school. They have passed so quickly, but not without struggles and sleepless ' nights, and almost on the night of my graduation I can’t work these problems in Chemistry.” “You poor child, will you tell me the history of your class?” “Yes, Aunt Mary. Sit down.” Freshman 1928-29 “Four years ago there enrolled in the Lincoln high school four hundred and ninety-two Freshmen. We were so small compared with the upper classmen that we were shy and timid. After the first day we went about our classes with a great eagerness to learn. The honor roll was the prize awarded to those who succeeded in their eagerness. Constance Garrett, Nadine Phillips, Ernest Brown — these were the students who stood out in the class. Sophomores 1929-30 “At the end of the first year how the summer flew! Soon we found ourselves again in the halls of our dear school. Of the four hundred and ninety-two stu- dents, three hundred and fifty returned. The Sophomore being classed the “wisest fools” in school, set out with the purpose of changing that title. Again the honor roll served as a reward for those who carefully prepared their work. Evelyn Mayfield’s name appeared on it the entire year. Junior 1930-31 “Then came another summer, and we found ourselves eager to get back to school. Our class of three hundred and ninety students had decreased to one hundred and ninety-two. This decrease in number did not lessen our eagerness ' to grasp all we could in the field of learn- ing. Weren’t we proud to say that we were Juniors? We chose the following for our class officers: William McGin- nis, President; Mildred Mitchell, Vice- President; Evelyn Mayfield, Secretary; Ernest Brown, Assistant Secretary, and Constance Garrett, Treasurer. “The Dramatic department presented our annual Junior play, “Listen in on the Campus.” It was a three-act comedy of college life. Orinza Saunders, Lillian Ransom, Armenta Hatcher, Mildred Whitfield, Gretchen Hambrick, Ernest Brown and Arthur Pullam had leading parts. “In our class there were many good athletes among whom Acie Lofton, Will- iam McGinnis and Clyde Walton stood out prominently. “A small number of our class was ad- mitted to the National Honor Society. Those admitted were: Mildred Mitchell, Nadine Phillips, Constance Garrett, Eve- lyn Mayfield, Arthur Pullam, Edward Pate, Ernest Brown and Geraline Harris. Senior ’31-’32 “Once more another September rolled around and with it came a class of one hundred and forty-six dignified, sedate, and earnest seniors. What a grand feel- ing to be a senior! Our class officers were: Mildred Mitchell, President; Wahnebia Brown, Vice-President; Edward Pate, Secretary, and Arthur Pullam, Treasurer. Theo- dore Williams was elected President of the Student Council. “In November a Board of Directors was organized to carry on the Senior af- fairs in a more business-like manner. It was made up of eight representatives of the Senior class. The representatives were Theopha Carr, Nadine Phillips, Constance Garrett, Catherine Wiseman, William Davis, Touss ' aint Wilson and Virgil Sanderson. “Our basketball stars succeeded in maintaining the athletic standards of our school. Among the best were Clyde Walton, Captain; William McGinnis, and Acie Lofton. “The Dramatic department produced two one-act plays. “Two Thousand Dol- lars Cash,” starring Lillian Rans ' om, Naomi Barker, Ernest Brown and Ar- thur Pullam. The “Unexpected Guest” was a comedy starring Gretchen Ham- brick, Mildred Evans, Pearl Marshbank, and William Brown. “The time for our departure is almost here. We have been safely guided through the year by our advisors, Miss Barker, Miss Smothers, Mr. Marsden, and Mr. Mayberry. We hate to leave dear old Lincoln High School, but we are called upon to go into higher fields of learning. Oh! It is eleven o’clock! I must get back to my Chemistry. Let me see — H2So4 plus. THEOPHA CARR, Historian. Page Nineteen 1 Class Prophecy Ladies and Gentlemen: This is radio stationB-HA-H broadcasting from the planet Mars. Your announcer is “Chick” Pullam. Chicago, the Windy City of the U. S. A.! We pass the Loop and go into the South Side of Chicago. Signs, bright lights, cabarets ' , night clubs and theatres. We arrive at Forty-second Street and Grand Boulevard. It is here that the “400” night club is located. It is the latest and best equipped night club of this section of the country. It is owned and operated by Clyde (Skip) Walton, Sidney (Runt) Miller, Ernest (Baghips) Brown and Arthur (Chick) Pullam. In the orchestra pit we find Franz (Tubby) Bruce and his 15 little “Tubs,” one of the country’s leading orchestras. We leave Chicago and go to Minneapo- lis, the lake territory. On the lakes we can see private yachts and small boats. Some of the largest yachts are owned by Mason Miller, Allen Chinn, Austin Holli- day and Jackson Desmukes. In a few of the small canoes I can see Albert Stev- enson and Bernice Woods ' , Alpha Riggs and Geneva Price, Earl Rodgers and Gladys Hanley, alias Ruby Taylor, a noted society woman, and Harold Cald- well and Mildred Whitfield. The large steamship lines are operated by Mr. John Herriford, the steamship magnate. He is to be married in a few weeks to Melba Byrd. New York with its Broadway, the Great white way of the U. S. A. The leading dancing academies are owned by Miss Harriet Fue, who has just retired from the stage to take over her business, which has beforehand been run by her business manager, Bill Davis, Arthell Kimmons and Roy Dillard. Some of her dancing instructors are Frankie Boyd, Elsie Byrd and Armenta Hatcher. Miss Fue’s private offices are located in the Walker building, which is owned by her fiancee, Doctor Elijah A.

The popular Parisian shop showing the latest styles for women is’ owned by Miss Faye King, Miss Gussie Brown and Miss Vivian Brummell. Some of their models are Venita Barner, Genevieve Brooks, Hazel Busch and Florence Kennedy. Their chief customers are Loleta Hogan, Ida Lois Jackson, Florence Field and Rhenell Dillard. Across the street we find a shop showing the latest men’s ap- parel. The owners are Mr. Marion Watts, Mr. Maurice Pendleton and Mr. Arthur Pittman. Their leading customers are Martenez Marley, Alfred Hudson, George Johnson and Donald Lewis. Kansas City, the Heart of America. On the famous corner of Eighteenth and Vine Streets, I see Jeff (Pip) Sasser, struggling to get an old Buick running. I see in the aristocratic part of Kansas ' City, Mrs. Geraldine Lane, for- merly Miss Geraline Harris, is entertain- ing her bridge club on her lawn. Some of the members are Miss Hazel Carr, Miss Lola Carmen, Miss Dorothy Cox, Miss Bertha Cooper, Juanita Harris, Ella Mae Hayden and Mildred Hill. Mrs. Lane’s husband, Mr. James Lane, is’ in Washington to see about his air lines. We shall now see who some of the teachers are in Lincoln high school. Wahnebia Brown is teaching English Lit; Helen Caldwell is teaching American Government; Theopha Carr is teaching history and at the same time compiling a history of Kansas City; Edna Dixon is president of the English department; Elaine Riley is in the Chemistry depart- ment, and Gloria Hill is in the Athletic department.

Harlem, the home of the famous Cotton Club. They have a brand new orchestra and, boy, is it hot! And how! Just a minute, folks, I am trying to see the leader of the latest orchestra sensation. I see his face! It is ' Theodore Williams, better known as Ted Williams, the boy with the school- girl voice. He breaks into the tune of “Gimme Something Better,” composed by Helen Wimberly and Wilna Johnson. Some of the stage are just ar- riving. I shall call the names as they ap- pear in the Future Vision. They are Orinza Saunders and William Brown, who are starring in “A Lover’s Mistake”; Gretchen Hambrick, Frank Taylor, Pearl Marshbank, Eugene Banks, Naomi Bar- ker, Edward Rodgers, Helen Bell, Mil- dred and Chester Kirkendoll. Now to Washington. Four of the Na- tion’s leading educators ' are there for the meeting of the International Bureau of Education.

ARTHUR PULLAM, Jr., Class Prophet. Page Twenty-one Senior Girls’ Reserve The Senior Girl’s Reserve began their last year of service with much hope. Near the beginning of the second semester the leadership of the club was taken over by Miss Elsie Mountain, under whose guidance the Club has done and expects to do much. Many of the present members have been Girl Reserves since their Freshman year. Last year this Club, as Juniors, made toys and presented them at Christmas time to the inmates of Garrison Field House, a quilting circle was organized. Members of the present Club presented as a feature of the fifteenth anniversary Program given at Roanoke Baptist Church. The present officers and members are: EVELYN MAYFIELD President GLADYS HANLEY Recording Secretary FRANKIE BOYD Treasurer NADINE PHILLIPS Corresponding Secretary HARRIET FUE Chaplain GLADYS CROSS Girl Reserve Secretary VIVIAN BRUMELL WILNA JOHNSON ULDINE JOHNSON HELEN BELL MILDRED WHITFIELD VERSIA WHITE MILDRED MITCHELL BERNICE WOODS GRETCHEN HAMBRICK GEORGELLEN WASHINGTON FAY KING FLORENCE FIELDS PEARL MARSHBANK LINCOLNTTE Class Will As we, “The Class of ’32, ” sat musing in our library over the works of Tenny- son and Browning, a lawyer from the law firm of “Lincolnite and Lincolnite ,, entered. “Do you not realize that you are get- ting old and are subject to leave us ' any time now?” he asked. “Yes ’ we replied, “but what has this to do with your visit ?” “Why, don’t you see? You have many valuable assets that should be given away to someone ? Why don’t you make a will disposing of them?” “You are right; we will make a will. Come tomorrow at this time; we will be ready for you to put the seal on the will.” We puzzled long over just who should be our heirs ' , but finally decided that: To Mr. Cook and Mr. Ellison we would will the right to be the overseers of L.

To Marianna Beck we will another “Chick” for her to talk to next year while the or iginal is away. To Mr. Jeffress ' we will an orchestra to play for the socials that will please all the student body.

To Mr. Howell we will a large “red” sign, saying, “Private, Keep Out,” so that he will not have to run stragglers out during the lunch hour. To Mr. Carroll we will live frogs, live fish, live insects and other live animals so that he won’t have to say, “Oh, use your imagination as to the way they eat.” Miss ' Faye King leaves her Sponsor Page Majorship to be sought by Arlene An- derson, Norma Williams, Gertrude Whit- ley, Christine McDonald and Margurite Pittman. To Geneva Sampson, Miss Mildred Mitchell and Miss Nadine Phillips leave To Frances ' Williams and James Moore we will the neat habits of Wilna Johnson and John Baldwin. To the Juniors we will the privileges of joining Miss Smothers’ first or third their ability to conquer all studies that come in their way.

Now, the time has come for us to place the notary seal upon this will We place the responsibility of executing the items of this will upon the shoulders of Mr. Jackson, a very capable business and farseeing young man. We sincerely hope that all the gifts that we have bestowed will be accepted in the spirit in which they were given and will become very useful and beneficial to our heirs. Not to be read until after graduation, June 10, 1932. ERNEST L. BROWN, ’32. Twenty - three LINCOLNITE Student Council THEODORE WILLIAMS, President The Lincoln High School Student Council is composed of two members from each advisory group, making a total of thirty-two. All members of the Council must have an average of at least “M” throughout the year. The five important departments of the Council, which are appointed by the presi- dent, are as follows ' : The Department of Awards with Inez Gilmore as leader, and Mr. Mayberry as supervisor, sponsored the Junior Red Cross Contest. The Department of Foreign Relation with Leda Hankins as the leader, and Miss Brown as supervisor, has visited several high schools of the city and has secured handbooks from these schools. The Department of Justice with Ernest Brown as the leader, and Mr. Griffin as the su- pervisor, has charge of the court. The members of this grouo have done very efficient work. The Department of Safety with Mary Moore as the leader, and Mr. Carroll as the supervisor, has been active in placing safety blanks in the advisory groups. The Department of Recreation with Emma L. Tate as the leader, and Mr. Jeffress as the supervisor, has been successful in sponsoring four socials this year. A Reception Committee was ' appointed to show visitors about the school. The stu- dents have given time and thought on the moral standards of the school. After all, a plan for the upbringing of the Council has been given to the school to be carried out next year. Officers of the Council are: THEODORE WILLIAMS President ELIJAH WALKER Vice-President GLADYS HANLEY Secretary MARGARET PITTIMAN Associate Secretary WAHNEVIA BROWNE. Treasurer HERSHELL CANNON Sergeant-at-Arms GLADYS HANLEY, Secretary, ’32. MISS R. NOLAN, Faculty Supervisor. Page Twenty-four INCOLNITE Giftorian Impelled by a desire to serve and find- ing my stock of gifts so full I am be- stowing the following to my classmates, instructors, and schoolmates: For their dramatic ability shown here in school, I give to Pearl Marshbank and Emma Homer, the distinction and fame of Marie Dressier. To Jessie Prescious and Florine Gar- rett, I give the power to paint and draw their names into history. Evelyn Mayfield proves worthy of a library in which she may serve the pub- lic efficiently. For Gloria Hill, Armenta Hatcher and Cleo Tevis, I give a contract with the Ziegfield Follies where they may dance to their heart’s content. Since Catherine Wiseman, Marion Watts, and Eugene Banks are gited to talk, I give them a chance to surpass the great Clarence Darrow, America’s great criminal lawyer. To Mildred Mitchell I give the posi- tion of the leading woman of her race. To Mildred Whitfield I give an audi- ence that will appreciate her melodious voice. Donald Lewis is slow in gait, He will profitably use a pair of roller skates. For Wilna Johnson, Uldine Johnson and Hattie Lane, there are School rooms waiting for them to teach as they have been taught. I give an everlasting supply of beauty preparations to Orinza Saunders, Fay King, Iris Potts and Harriet Fue that their present beauty may never fade. Gretchen Hambrick, Naomi Barker and Mildred Evans deserve a place in which to exhibit their dramatic ability. The art with which Franz Bruce blows his “sax” will increase with the use of a Scot’s bagpipe. A modern fully equipped kitchen is open to Geraldine Harris that she may retain her liking for cooking wholesome foods. And now for a word of advice: Arthur Pullam, Ernest Brown, Theo- dore Williams, James Lane: Withstand your deepest troubles in life for then is the time to prove yourself a man. To Gladys Hanley, Gussie Brown, Theopah Carr and Edna Dixon: You have learned the science of speech; its companion is the Science of silence. To Wahnebia Brown and Charles Pow- ell I give the vocal chords of a chaffinch that their singing may be even more me- lodious. Geneva Price and Bertha Cooper are given the privilege of producing even more beautiful creations than have yet been dreamed of. To Helen Bell I give more “pep” that she may stop complaining about climb- ing steps. Upon Vivian Florence and Marie Mer- ritt I bestow the power to grow. To Vantilla Livingston, Helen Wim- berly and Helen White I give a passport to Europe to study music and its arts. I have designed a special Alladin’s lamp for those of my classmates whom I have not mentioned that their dearest wish may come true. There are a few assurances that I will give to the teachers who are here from year to year. I assure Mr. Ellison that his task of keeping the halls clean will be elimi- nated. Mrs. Marshall may rest assured that the pupils will fall into line going up and down steps without being told. Mr. Bluford need not worry about his incoming Chemistry classes for they will have learned the art of reading. For the benefit of his algebra classes I give Mr. Jeffress a transparent note book to be used on “Thursday.” And now with my treasure house al- most empty but with heart still warm and generous I am wishing for all a long life of health, happiness and success. WOULDN’T THAT BE A DREAM? If Lincoln High had diamond doors Cellophane windows and platinum floors; Wouldn’t that be a dream? If the teachers here Were not so severe; Wouldn’t that be a dream? And if some day soon School wouldn’t take up till noon; Wouldn’t that be a dream? If Mr. Ellison, the dear, Would speak loud enough for us to hear; Wouldn’t that be a dream? If the Board of Education devised a scheme To transport its students in limousines ' ; Wouldn’t that be a dream? A school flapper Dipper dapper Hi school flappers. Count them, One by one. Red lips, Reddened more, Smeared with Lipstick From the store. EDNA DIXON. Page Twenty - five One of the outstanding divisions of every high school is the progress it makes in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. The Lincoln High School Battalion is ' one that any organization could justly cherish. It has been outstanding in all a ffairs that it has engaged in. Eighteen Cadet officers, one Sponsor Major and four Honorary Captains were ap- pointed as follows: Cadet Major, Jewel Word, Lieut. Adj., Edward Rogers; Cadet Cap- tains, Chester Kirkendoll, William Fowler, Jeff Sasser, Arthell Kimmons; Cadet First Lieutenants, Elmo Williams ' , William Elston, Eugene Banks, William Davis; Second Lieutenants, James Lane, Roy Dillard, John Herriford, Arthur Pullam, William McGin- nis, Raymond Robinson, Alfred Hudson, Acie Lofton; the Sponsor Major, Faye King, and Honorary Captains, Evelyn Mayfield, Mildred Mitchell, Constance Garrett of Com- panies A. B. C. and D, respectively. Two hundred and twenty-five cadets of Lincoln High School Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, marched in the Armistice Day parade and made a wonderful showing. Fifteen officers took part in a patriotic speaking program at most of the principal clubs and churches of the city, also in the high schools of Kansas City and Greater CADET MAJOR JEWEL WORD, L. H.

April 22 — The Junior play is a closing feature. Well, here are the old spring and sum- mer fevers back with us again. So-long. ATHLETICS The football season started off with a team very much underweight, thereby giving us a rather unsuccessful season. Due to the loss of so many letter men and the lack of heavy boys ' , Captain Kim- mons of the Tiger football squad was put in a very unpleasant position, when when matched against the strong teams of Kansas Vocational School, Western Baptist college and Western University college teams. In the many heroic battles on the old gridiron were seen Captain Arthell Kim- mons, Acie Lofton, Willie McGinnis ' , Jewel Word, William Brown and J. D. Starks, all fighting valiantly for dear old Lincoln for the last time. The call for basketball was even more faint than that for football. With only two letter men reporting, including him- self, Captain Walton immediately settled down to drafting any favorable looking prospects that could distinguish a basket- ball from an apple. The first game was ' played in the gym with our much-heralded Alumni. With this game over and victory num- ber one we settled down to meet Higgins- ville. They were beaten 58 to 9. With victory number two in hand the boys’ went into hard preparation and training to meet the highly touted Fort Scott team. The fighting lads scored a victory on us that trip but we gave them the worst beating they had ever received when they came down here. During this time many of the boys had made a name for themselves, some of whom were Acie (Epps) Lofton, a stellar guard; Willie (Big Time) McGinnis, bril- liant center, and the shifty Captain, Clyde (Skip) Walton, forward, all of whom tickled the net for the last time for old Lincoln. With everyone asking us to that we invite Vashion of St. Louis down and keep the bacon home. We beat these chaps ' a hard-fought game before a rec- ord-breaking crowd. With the bacon well in hand we began meditating an experi- ment whereby we might match brain against brawn. With this prospect in mind the Tiger quintet all huddled to- gether and went to Tulsa. These big, husky lads greeted us as the giant spider might greet an uncanny fly ) which flew in the web just to see if it could get out). To show our culture and manners ' we paid them dues respects to the best of our knowledge by giving them a good game, although we did lose. It is true we made a bit of history here by making it the first time we ever lost to them. CLYDE WALTON. Page Twenty-seven LINCOLN!!] I 9 O Here and There JUST PASSIN’ BY We hear the click of heel plates and look up just in time to see Mr. Ellison rushing down the main hall. The object of his rush is to prevent Miss Smith, the Gym teacher, from executing a very cute tap-step for the benefit of Mr. Mayberry, who has taken up tap dancing lessons in order to reduce. the students of English literature take their subject more seriously, hits upon an idea to that effect. The sound and demonstration of emotion which are pro- duced leads Miss Morrison and Mr. Mor- rison to believe they have discovered two persons having unusual musical and dramatic ability and rush forward to em- brace them. Close upon their heels is Mr. Howell, who has ' left his bag of peanuts (what a pity), and his favorite expression, “is yat so,” at home on the table. Mr. Griffin, hearing the sounds of ac- tion, comes forth to observe the psycho- logical reactions, but changes his mind when he discovers Miss Payne limbering up for the tennis season with Miss Rhodes. While walking down the hall with an armful of geometry papers, Mr. Jef- fress is discovered by Miss Claggett to be a perfect example of a mathematician, and just as she is ready to begin on a portrait of him, she overhears Miss Glenn chattering in Spanish to Miss Barker about her diet and rushes off to join in the chatter. Just at this point, Mr. Marsden, who has been trying to find a way to make A loud clatter is heard as a nondescript automobile comes into view. It is an in- vention of Mr. Russell, sporting a paint job by Mr. Massey and driven by Mrs. Miller. She is making her morning de- livery for Mr. Westmoreland’s shoe de- partment and Mrs. Goss’ cooking depart- ment. The noise frightens Mr. Carroll, caus- ing him to drop a cage of mice, that im- mediately begin to chase Miss Barker down the hall. She turns a sharp cor- ner and finds herself resting in the ar ms of Miss Brydie. Imagine their embar- rassment upon seeing the dignified ap- proach of Mr. Love and Mr. Jackson who, with the aid of Mr. Cook, are transport- ing to Mr. Thompkins a specially con- structed aquarium made by Mr. Bluford and Mr. Anderson. Then the conductor sounds his bell and our street car continues on its journey. TO OUR TEACHERS Dear Teachers: We, the Senior class of 1932, are now deaving dear old Lincoln. We know not what our course will be. Some will make good, some no doubt will fail. Some will live to a good old age while death will overtake others and cut them down before they can begin their career. Some will be lawyers, doctors, preachers, painters, nurses, teachers, librarians and common laborers; but all shall keep in our memory how you have striven to make us a part of what we are. We realize how hard the tasks have been, how you have stuck with us through thick and thin. It has not always been easy for us to see that it was correct for us to do as you said, all of the time, but, nevertheless, we realize it now. You have steered us safetly to this stage of life’s journey. Now we are preparing to continue our journey on life’s rugged sea. Though the storms may come and our ship be wrecked as we make our footprints on the sands of time, we shall ever hold in our memory your loy- alty, your faithfulness, your anxiety and your sincerity to do your share by us. When we have reached our destination After we have traveled years upon life’s stormy sea, We will think of our dear teachers Who have striven to make us what we should be. NAOMI BARKER ’32. EDITORIAL At last the Senior class of ’32 has reached the height of one ambition, gradua- tion! Oh, how long it seemed, four years ago, when we were just a tiny bud preparing to burst into full bloom. The years have dragged on. Sometimes we became weary and tired of the long journey, but our happy days were there, too — football, basketball and track meet. Then we turned out in large groups roaring, shouting and cheering for our school. Our teachers have been most kind, helping and giving advice whenever necessary. Now that we are departing, we are very happy — but, then, a sudden thought pops into our heads. We hate to leave dear old Lincoln and our beloved teachers. We think that Lincoln can never be the same without this class; although, many more shall come, our place will remain vacant. Now we go out to conquer the world. When we finish singing “O Lincoln High,” the song will be ended but the melody will linger on. LOLA KILLINGSWORTH ’32, Editor-in-Chief.

Hamburger and sausage. Guerilla means an ape warrior. Teacher: What name is given to laws aimed against Negroes in the South after the Civil War? Pupil: Black co-eds. Who said “After us the deluge?” “Noah.” Teacher: During the Civil War in England what were the King’s support- ers called? Pupil: Garters. We’d like to lay this on a Freshman, but it was a dignified Senior who pomp- ously informed us that the “Epistles were the wives of the Apostles.” OH, WHEN ON EARTH — Will Mrs. Goss extravagant be? Will Mr. Howell without glasses see? Will Mr. Morrison stop talking clues? Will Mr. Jeffress stop requiring rules? Will Miss Nolan cease saying “no talking folks?” Will Miss C. Byrdie start telling some jokes ? Will Miss R. Nolan stop tapping her desk ? Will Mr. Love give short written tests? Will Mr. Mayberry los ' e his bright smile? Will Mr. Marsden stop working awhile? Will Miss R. Washington really start gaining ? Will Miss T. Barker take physical train- ing? Will Mr. Griffin be boisterous and loud? Will Miss Smothers look down on the crowd ? Will Miss B. Morrison find “hearing ears ?” Will Mr. Cook not smile through his tears ? The answer to all these I really know Although I did search for it high and low To find it I had to be skillful and clever The answer, dear students is — Never Oh, Never. — GUSSIE BROWNE ’32. JOKES AND OTHER SUGGESTIONS “Did Ja Ever” — “Put anything over” on Miss Smoth- ers ? Get out of “making up” work for Miss Glenn? Observe Mr. Cook for any length of time without seeing his pleasant smile? See Mr. Ellison in a hurry? Meet anybody who didn’t love being in Mr. Howell’s classes? Hear of anyone’s hating Mrs. Goss ' ? Have you ever seen Ernest Brown when he wasn’t acting a perfect clown? When the sun recedes and never shines again — We’ll know Geraldine Harris has lost James Lane. Gloria Hill, you must admit, Seems to simply radiate “It.” Mary Wilson holds ' a firm position, As the owner of a pleasant disposition. FLORENCE KENNDEY ’32.

We worship every stripe and star Of the flag we daily view, We worship too the colors dear, The old gold and the blue. All of us ' will g o our way And in our work succeed, The inspiration for our school Will be our greatest need. We’ll not forget our old school days Though scenes may all be new. We’ll not forget old Lincoln High Nor the old gold and the blue. So give three cheers for ’32, The best class you believe That from our dear old Lincoln High Will ever, ever leave. Then, cheer all teachers who have taught To us the golden rule, Cheer each and every one who’s taught And the old gold and blue. — M. WHITFIELD. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE DRAMATIC CLASS? IF— Orinza was not given the leading part in all love scenes. Florence Kennedy could not play the part of a gossiper. Pearl Marshbank could not pretend she was crying or play the part of a mother. There was no one to play the part of a little girl like Armenta Hatcher. MEET OUR TEACHERS You’ll find out ( West-mor-land) is to be seen.

There THROUGH THE YEARS All through these years we have strug- gled; Until we have won this goal, And we’re now leaving dear old Lincoln But our memory will neer grow cold. We hate to leave old Lincoln High But still we all must go We’re sorry deep down in our hearts, Because we love you so. Into the world we all must go And meet our problems face to face, We will always try to do our best To help upbuild our race. —VIVIAN FLORENCE. FAREWELL Farewell, old Gold and Blue, Farewell old Lincoln High — Now that we’re through Into the world we’ll fly. Farewell, dear old school; Farewell, old Lincoln High — We’re leaving your old rule, To think of it we cry. Farewell, years of happiness and sorrow; Farewell, years of laughter and tears ' — Years we’ve slaved for this goal, And we are happy as the time draws near. ORINZA SAUNDERS ’32. MY CLASSMATES My Holliday I will spend in the May- field by the Banks of the still running Brooks, and listen to the songs of the Byrds which sound to me as Words from a Balia (r)d of a King of old. Where the towering Hills kiss the White clouds, I walk through the Lane where I can hear the Bell(s) ring. I shall sit in the Whit- field with my Chinn in my hand and call myse lf a Wiseman. If I see a Fue dai- sies I will Pull(em). The Fields I shall see in the distance, no doubt will be Brown. In the distance I will hear the rattle of a farmer’s old Carr which can be nothing Moore than a Ford. The Precious rabbits will hide themselves in the Busch. . When day is done, to Home(r) I will go.
