LINCOLN IT1E Here and There CLASS SONG (To the tune of “Auld Lang Syne’’) The class of ’32 are we, Our high school ' s pride and joy, For four long years we’ve sailed her sea, Each single girl and boy. 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. Of course we will travel quite a few (Rhodes), some crossed by (Wa- ters) of swelled streams. We ate once on the way for we had a (Cook) and a (Baker) with us. But the trip cost us great (Payne) for the (Blu- ford) we drove did not carry us far. (White) flowers survive in the (Glen-n) even in a heat that almost (Smothers) you. The birds there sing a (Carroll) by day and the dogs (Ho- well) by night. WHEN TIME COMES THIS WILL CEASE TO BE Genevieve Brooks Elijah Walker .

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. Page Twenty-nine

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. CHESTER KIRKENDOLL ’32. IN MEMORY OF OUR DECEASED CLASSMATES “And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill, But oh, for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still.” DOROTHY MAE FERGUSON RICHARD A.
