Miss Clarice Wood wins in the annual popularity contest. The candidates for Lincolnite Queen were chosen from the three Senior girls’ advisory groups. The contestants, Clarice Wood, Jewel Milligan, and Louise Franklin, received the hearty support of their advisory group as well as the school. Interesting posters were placed in the halls; house-to-house can- vasing was carried on. The whole com- munity was “Lincolnite conscious” dur- ing the week of the campaign. From this extremely exciting contest Clarice Wood of Miss Barker’s advisory emerged victorious. The school is very proud to bow in obeisance to such a viva- cious and gracious’ queen. May she con- quer all things as she has conquered in this campaign of Lincoln High School. Page Nineteen ©V ir 5 Class History By VICTOR NORMAN 1929-30 Freshmen High school! Ah! Our dreams had at last come true! We entered the por- tals of Lincoln High School, numbering five hundred and forty-nine. With this force of over five hundred, our intentions for accomplishments were strong. We were given the title of “Freshies,” by the upper classmen. But we intended to live down this absurd name. Our first great victory was secured when James Moore was unanimously elected delegate to the Athletic Associa- tion. From there on the upper classmen began looking up to us. We’ve shown them that we were going to ride along- side of them in everything; and in some instances, surpass them. A few of our members ' attained high scholastic standings, and were permitted to have their names placed upon the honor roll. Those students were Mary E. Cole, Geneva Sampson, Gertrude Whit- ley, Arlene Anderson, James Moore and Murrel Lee. We were highly and largely represen- ted in the Student Council, although we were of the lower class. Several members of our group took trends into the musical field. Our out- standing musicians were Byron Ellis, Oree Thomas, Maxine Sparks and Viola Murphy. We happily ended our first school year This year had been great, and many suc- cesses were attained. We were very grateful to our advisors who were so kind toward us throughout the school year. 1930-31 Sophomore With a large decrease of one hundred and eighty-eight students, we returned from our vacation, more determined than ever. We were not going to let a thing like that hold us back, especially when we still had our former leaders. This year we were termed Sophomores, or “Wise Fools.” We immediately out- lived that title by showing those upper classmen that we were wise — but not fools. This year our honor role increased. Those fortunate enough to attain over an “S” average were Christine McDon- ald, Gertrude Whitley, Arlene Anderson, Ruth Redmond, Geneva Sampson, James’ Moore, Murrel Lee, Merle Herriford,, Mary Cole, and Horace Marshall. Several members of our group showed ingenious ability in the field of mathe- matics. Those students were Paul Byrd, Murrel Lee, James Moore, Horace Mar- shall, and Merle Herriford. We were not only active in scholastic activities, but also prominent in the field of athletics. Our promising football stars were Albert Mosby, Obster Parker, Bertrand Neal, and Alonzo Redmond. We showed our upper classmen that we were right along with them, when a large group of our members attended the annual R. 0. T. C. hop School closed, and we ended our sec- ond year of high school. We again ex- pressed our gratitude to our advisors, who guided us safely throughout the school year. 1931-32 Junior Juniors! That is just what we were. We were at last among the upper class- men, which was our hearts’ desire. Our number has dwindled to one hun- dred and seventy-nine loyal students. Our number had decreased, but we were determined to fight on and make this year an overwhelming success. James Moore was elected as our presi- dent and leader, this year. Our athletic stars continued shining. Our outstanding football stars were Al- bert Mosby, Obster Parker, and Alonzo Redmond. We had some very promis- ing basketball stars. These boys were Calvin Green and Fred Pugh. William Spigener was made captain of the tennis team. We had the honor of having one of our group on the debating team. This team was composed of Seniors only. This lucky student was Alonzo Redmond. Our musical stars continued to shine. Some were in the orchestra, and some in the band, and still others were soloists. Ten members of our group were elected to the National Honor Society on the basis of scholarship, leadership, charac- ter, and service. They were Christine McDonald, Arlene Anderson, Gertrude Whitley, Ruth Redmond, Mary Cole, Geneva Sampson, Marguerite Pittman and Alonzo Redmond. Many of our group were outstanding in the military department. They were William North, Vernon Walker, and James Moore. They won medals for rankings in the theoretical test. A number of us wandered into the dramatic world. Some of our greatest talent was’ displayed in our annual play, “Cabbages or Dollars,” featuring Jewel Millligan, Evelyn Collins, Bernice Moore, Dorothea Grant, Geraldine Boggs, Byron Ellis, Paul Jones, Albert Mosby, Alonzo Redmond, and Obster Parker. Our reception to the Seniors was a pompous affair. School closed and we had finished our third year. This year had, indeed, been an overwhelming suc- cess.

The Senior Girls’ Glee Club is one among many of the foremost Senior groups. It consists of only girls who are hard and energetic workers and have taken an active part in the school acti- vities. Most of the girls have worked in the Lincoln High School Chorus or other music groups ' . The Club has been out- standing in all of its extra-curricular ac- tivities, including its well known suc- cessful achievements on various church and civic programs, under its most com- petent leader, Miss Blanche Morrison. ARLENE ANDERSON, ’33. CLASS HISTORY— (Continued) 1932-33 Senior Ah! Seniors! The most dignified and sedate class of them all. We had reached the zenith of our high school career. We intended to make this year the most successful of them all. We were one hun- dred and fifty-eight strong. James Moore was elected president of the Student Council. Others of our group were elected to important offices. Our class officers were: Gertrude Whitley, president; James Moore, vice- president; Ruth Redmond, secretary; Bonnie Thompson, assistant secretary; Geneva Sampson, treasurer; Byron Ellis, sergeant-at-arms; Mary E. Cole, Critic. A large number of our group received commissions in R. O. T. C. Louis Byrd jvas ' appointed major. Other honorary officers were Marianna Beck, Mary Cole, Arlene Anderson, and Gertrude Whitley. Our dramatic stars produced four one- act plays. These plays, “No Tips Ac- cepted,” “Men Not Wanted,” “You Know, I Know, Shake,” and “Polishing Hen- ery,” were very good. Five of our group entered the field of oratory. They were Jewel Milligan, Oree Thomas, James Moore, Alonzo Red- mond and Obster Parker. The hour of departure is drawing near. We are afraid words cannot ex- press our feeling of gratitude toward our advisors and teachers ' who have worked so faithfully along with us to make our school years more than successful. We regret very much in leaving — but we are needed elsewhere. So we say, “Farewell, dear old Lin- coln!” Page Twenty-one ©Vi Girl Reserves Despite the fact that this has been a year of financial depression, the Senior Girl Reserves has passed through a very prosperous year. They have parti- cipated in many activities during the year. The most outstanding activity has been the inter-racial work at the Central Y. W. C. A. Our representatives ' to this council were Marianna Beck, Bernice Moore, Gertrude Whitley, and Viola Murphy. The following girls partici- pated in an inter-racial broadcast spon- sored by the council: Arlene Anderson, Gertrude Whitley, Marianna Beck, Max- ine Sparks, and Bernice Moore. This ' has been the largest Senior Girl Reserve club of which Lincoln High can boast. There are fifty-four members’. The officers are: Christine McDonald President Marianna Beck Secretary Eglantine McCarthy Treasurer Page Twenty-two ©v« Class 1 Once upon a midnight dreary, While I pondered weak and weary, I fell asleep and had a dream. I was in the land where things are not what they seem. I saw my classmates, every one, Who had some task well done; As I am endowed with the power to per- ceive What is to com£ in the future. I pray you d Sl- nes my dream believe, For I really cannot deceive you. As I was lying on my divan, I fell into a semi-conscious sleep. Later I was awakened by some one calling my name. I opened my eyes and was startled to find a person standing in front of me, garbed in white. I close d my eyes ' and shook away the drowsiness and when I opened my eyes, the person put an end to my anxious wonderment and said: “I am the future. I control every liv- ing object there is, the animate and the inanimate. Come with me and I will show you the future of your classmates.” Within the twinkle of an eye, I found myself in a dimly lighted room with dark velvet drapes and soft carpets. The room was long, like a corridor, which had at its end a small table, upon which was a large crystal ball. Behind this table, dressed in native costume, was none other than Madame Florine Gar- rett. I didn’t ask the future from whence the madame came. The next moment I found myself in front of an office marked “private,” bearing the name of Lawrence Blanken- ship. I soon learned that his private secretary was ' Levada Kennymore. By the way, Blankenship is running a Nutt Factory. The scene changed and I was in a radio studio. Byron Ellis was another Bing Crosby and Evelyn Collins was another Kate Smith. They seemed to have reached the height of their ambition in a big way. Gosh! I am in a Modiste Shoppe now. Blanche Wilson is proprietress and Edith Smith and Ruth Jones ' are her seam- stresses. Her chief models are Evelyn Hendricks, Armanda Kirkendall, Iris’ Potts, Anna Williams, Mayme Davis, Marguerite Pittman, Dorothea Grant, and Dorothy Wilkerson. My, what perfumery! I am in a beauty shop now. Lady Jewel Milligan is the manager. Her operators are Marianna Beck, Lucille Herriford, Emogene Wil- kerson, and Eglantine McCarthy. Mr. and Mrs. James Robinson are ob- serving the performance with a critical eye. By the way, Octavia Ruffin is the little wifey. After a while the scene changed and I was in front of a huge building, marked “Tenement House Babies,” with Mary E. Cole, Frances Williams, Juanita Smith, Carrie Fields and Wilma Palmer as nurses. I was soon in a printing office. On the business staff were Victor Norman, Obster Parker, James Moore and Mur- rel Lee, John McNeely was editor of the sports column and Alice Smith, Anna Jean Howell and Josephine Hurse wrote novels. Christine McDonald was the out- of-town reporter. Helen Blakely was also a reporter. Just across the street was a little shop, or a meeting house rather, which bore the name of “Amendment for Lonesome Lovers,” and I learned that Vivian Powell was head of this organization. Her chief workers were Callie Freeman, Mary Lucille Davis and Virginia Bra- shears. Just above this organization was a doctor’s office. He was a dentist and his name, I learned, was Doctor Charles Bruce. His name was engraved in gold print on the window. I was so aston- ished, I almost fainted. The future told me you never know what your good friends may come to. I recovered from the shock and found myself in an opera house where I saw Erma Twine playing a Walter Damrosch number. Maxine Sparks was the prima donna. Arlene Anderson was the leading lady in the opera called, “Martha!” What ho! I am all turned around again. This time I’m in front of a mansion of loveli- ness. I am told that it belongs to the late Mrs. McClendon, better known as Miss Gertrude Whitley. Ah! There she is whizzing up the drive in that limou- sine. What a life! Well, the scene has changed again. The future really works marvels. Here I am in Harlem. Henry Brown and Bertrand Neal are the hit of the show called “Dark Harlem.” They are doing a Laurel and Hardy act. Believe it or not, but there goes Magnolia Banes down Fifth Avenue with her Russian poodle. What a dog and what a woman! I am so tired now I can hardly stand up. The future tells me there are a lot more to see of my classmates, but I am weary now and have to stop. “But before I release you,” said the future, “I’ll tell you your future.” Oh, I was glad because after seeing the future of many of my classmates I was anxious to know about my own fu- ture. He said: “After all, the talents you possess may not help you in later life, because after all you are best suited for a housewife.” Oh, how that shocked me, but just the same I hope I will make good of that future. OREE THOMAS, ’33. Page Twenty-three ©V r d The R. 0. T. C. unit, as in former years, has been very outstanding. It is considered one of the best departments of Lincoln High School. The training received by the boys is not only military but points of good citi- zenship, courtesy and obedience are also taught. The Lincoln High School Battalion has taken part in many of the city-wide func- tions. The honor of Cadet Major was be- stowed upon Lewis Byrd. Miss Margue- rite Pittman was elected as Sponsor Ma- jor of the Battalion. The Honorary Captains were appointed as follows: Company A., Marianna E. Beck; Company B., Gertrude Whitley; Company C., Mary E. Cole; Company D., Arlene M. Anderson. The other appointments were as fol- lows: Cadet Captains ' : Joseph Brown, Ho- mer Johnson. Cadet First Lieutenants: Herschell Cannon, Charles Brown. Cadet Second Lieutenants: Paul Byrd, Murrel Lee, Lawrence Blankenship, Eugene Hig- gins, Obster Parker, James Moore, Alonzo Redmond, Vernon Walker. Page Twenty-four r Here I am stranded on Treasure Is- land! Just my luck. But since I’m here, I might as well search for a buried chest or something. H’m, noth- ing to the east or west. Things look barren in the north — but to the south. There is a sunken place in the earth. I’ll dig there. Ah! a trunk. Gee, but the locks are rusty. Now then a big pull and — oh! Gold! Here are other treas- ures, just the very things to give some of my ’33 classmates. While waiting for a ship to pass by, I’ll sort them out. Here’s a television set. I’ll give it to Ida Jones so that she may see Roscoe Perry even though she is married and living in Wichita. Here is just the thing for Shape, Form and Fashion, a book entitled “How to Have a Good Time at All Parties.” I’ll give this packet of 100-dollar bills to Gertrude Whitley, so that she can go to College to develop her latent “po- tentialities.” To Jeraldine and Edna Boggs I’ll give this gallon bucket of lip stick, though I know it will last only a few days. To the Four Queens, I’ll give this book on “How to Justly Criticize Clothes, Per- sonalities, and Other Girls’ Boy Friends’.” To Victor Norman, the loquacious, I’ll take this non-stopping Victrola. May it keep up with Victor. Ah, just the gift for the Dusky “13.” A book entitled, “Rules of Contract and Auction Bridge.” Heavens, what’s this sticky stuff? A bottle of glue! I’ll give it to the Four Leaf Clovers so that they may stick to- gether through thick and thin. Here’s a jug of air for Paul Byrd. Now he won’t have to “blow off” so much. A nice, long list of instructions for a new walk. This is just what Magnolia Baines needs. To the Four Shadows I’ll take enough money to buy them a furnished house so that they may give their parties with- out confusion. “Learn to Swim Without Straining Your Back.” What could be more useful to Christine McDonald and Arlene An- derson than this little booklet? To Oree Thomas, Clarice Woods, and Jewell Milligan, I’ll give this miniature beauty shop s’o they may spend the rest of their lives putting on make-up. A marriage license! An appropriate gift for Levada Kenneymore and Law- rence Blankenship. Llere are some rubber heels for Charles Marshall which will allow him to enter Miss Smothers’ room without disturbing the class. To Joe Brown, I’ll give this book, “I,” published by “Me Company.” Here are five certificates giving the right to teach in any university. Mar- guerite Pittman, Alice Smith, Frances’ Williams, Murrel Lee and Horace Mar- shall have these. What’s this bundle all tied up with pink ribbon? Ah! Two little girls, Mary E. Cole and Marianna Beck! I’ll give them to James Moore along with the copyright of the song, “Contented.” I’ll take this passport to Honolulu; to Miss Brydie, Mr. Ellison and Mr. Cook so that they may have a real vacation this year. To Josephine Hurs’e, I’ll give this vol- ume of books entitled “Toots,” by Haw- kins. Here is a list of instructions called, “How to Be a Musician.” I shall take it to Paul Jones and James Ross. Two passports ' — one to Spain and one to France! Miss Woods shall certainly have her greatest wish fulfilled. Here is another large bundle. I can hardly pull it out. Ah! At last. Mc- Kenzie Coleman. Just what Blanche Wilson can use. To Eugene Higgins I shall give this’ title, “The Best Dressed Boy in Lincoln High School.” I shall take this food budget to the Good Fellows, then they can spend as much lunch money as they wish. Here’s a book by William Jennings Bryan, which gives all the points of oratory. Alonzo Redmond can use it as no one else can. To Armanda Kirkendoll and Evelyn Hendricks, I shall take this permit allow- ing them to gossip about their Sunday night experiences. Ooh! Such a cumbersome package! Why, it’s Evelyn Lyons. I’ll give her to Bernice Moore and Hartwell Yeargens as a chapeoron since she has proved to be such a persistent one this last year. To Mr. Mayberry, I’ll take this alarm clock, then his senior boys can be sure that their hour after school is up. To Miss Baker, I shall give this certi- ficate denoting her as one of the nicest and most practically dressed women in Lincoln High. Here’s a neat little package. It smells of fish. By jove! Sardine and graham crackers. Miss Smothers’ favor- ite dish. I shall give them to her as soon as I reach L. H. S. What a nifty book. I will take it to Miss Barker, for it is called “Sweetness.” May she always be that way. Now the treasure trunk is empty. But wait — another small package. Ah, a bountiful supply of good luck, happiness and success! This I give to each one of my classmates’. What is that I see there? A ship! Yoohoo, captain! Oh, Captain! No, sir, no luggage, only my treasure chest. Ship ahoy! sir, on to the harbor of L. H. S ' . RUTH REDMOND, ’33. Giftorian. Page Twenty-five ©V ' i WC) Class As the end drew nigh, we, the Senior Class ' of 1933, were suddenly aroused from a sweet reverie by the realization that we must leave our acquisitions of the past four years in inexperienced hands. I was delegated from the rank of dreamers to collect all our many posses- sions and distribute them with well wishes to those whom we leave behind. The first article in my hasty collec- tion was the key to the campus which I leave in all sincerity to the incoming Freshmen. Among our mythical possessions is a complete historical library which I leave to Mr. Love and Mr. Howell of the His tory Department. I will a separate building from the school containing a modern courtroom and jail to Mr. Griffin who advis ' es the Department of Justice. To Dorothy Poole and others in the Art Departments will the skill and in- terest of Ruth Hodges and Evelyn Lyons. To Mr. Ellison, I will his full capacity of work in the office so he won’t make so many students uneasy when he tours the corridors at lunch period. I will the Senior Medal for outstand- ing talent in Reading from Mr. J. H. Bluford to as many of the Juniors as’ de- sire to take Chemistry next year. I will Mr. Mayberry another equally outstanding student as Alice Aus ' bie in Sociology and Economics. I will to some honored Junior Girl, Locker No. 64 with the mirror in the door which has been there for at least three years and has proved a place of attractions for boys as well as girls ' . iTo the Physics Department, I will louder demonstration bells so that when students ring them, they can be mistaken for bells of dismissal and thus please the whole school. To the Junior Girls, I will the first six rows of choicest seats in the Assem- bly Hall. To Mr. Cook, I will a large bag of pea- nuts to share with Mr. Howell. To Mr. Morrison, I will a phonograph record of his famous expression, “Slower and Hit,” so he won’t have to say it to his Dramatic Classes so much. To Alice Ravelle, Bernice Hill, Alice Bell and Grace Kennedy, I will the Dra- matic talent of Evelyn Collins. To Wendell Phillips, I will the dra- matic seriousness of Oster Parker. To George Claridy, I will the stage versatility and amusing talents of Al- bert Mosby. To Jes ' se Edmund, I will another Chris- tine as popular as Christine McDonald who brought so much pleasure into his life. To the Debating Team, I leave another Alonzo Redmond, whose talent as a de- bater, brought much honor to Lincoln High School. To Miss Baker, I will a dictaphone so that all her valuable talks of advice to girls may be preserved. To Miss Smothers, I will some more students with the thoughtfulness and re- sponsiveness of Marianna Beck and Mar- guerite Pittman. To Ruth Kelly, I leave a place at the orchestral piano formerly occupied by Viola Murphy and Maxine Sparks. To Miss Barker, I will the “cream of the crop” to become members of the Bet- ter English Society. To Eunice Miller, I leave the strong oratorical voice of Jewell V. Milligan. To Mrs. Goss, I will another student as admiring as Josephine Hurse and an equally progressive group as well. To all the new sophomores, I will the privilege of telling the Freshmen to “Take the elevator to the sixth floor.” To Hazel Fleming, I will a continu- ously full social calendar with another musically inclined gentleman compara- able with Paul Jones. To Paul Herrera, Raymond Timmons, and D. L. McIntosh, I will the popularity of Willis Mullins, the amusing character of Horace Marshall, and the studious- ness of Merle Herriford, our small Senior specimens. To Harry Ferguson, I will the com- poser-cornetist talent of James Ross. To Herschel Cannon, I will the sign- painting talents of Hartwell Yeargans. I leave all the wind of Edwin Reeves, and Byron Ellis to Monroe Poindexter, Alfred Richardson and Wardell Scott s ' o that they may run tirelessly to victory. To L. C. McClendon, I leave a new girl who measures up to Gertrude Whitley in intelligence and friendliness, and who may give him the same inspiration which Gertrude did to fight a victorious bat- tle in active sports. To Dayse Murphy and Theresa Robin- son, I will the perserverance of Geneva Sampson, coupled with her unusual in- telligence. To Zadell Collins ' , I will the dignified posture and carriage of Anna Jean Howell. To Rachel Bernice Jackson, I leave the high salaried position of Feature Story Editor of the Lincolnite Monthly, ’34, and the added talents in creative writ- ing which formerly belonged to Christine McDonald. Page Twenty-Six The Wanneka Camp Fire Girls, under the guardianship of Miss W. Gaynelle Mason, have been very outstanding in their work this year. They sang over the radio at Christmas. They attended the Grand Council Fire in March and re- ceived several group and individual hon- ors ' . The group received the honor of the Needle Work Guild. They made 22 in- fants’ garments. Mary E. Cole received the third highest rank in Camp Fire last year, that of Torchbearer’s Rank. Uldine Johnson received Torchbearer’s Rank this year. Those who are Firemakers, or the third rank are: Viola Murphy, Daisy Murphy, Marguerite Pittman and Jewel Milligan. The second rank girls or Woodgatherers, are: Anna J. Howell, Marjorie Beck, Lucille Herriford, Car- men Gayhardt, Carrie Hollins, Susan Cespides, Maxine Sparks ' , and Merril Williams. The membership girls, or those without rank, are: Zadell Collins, Emma Tate, Eglantine McCarthy, Evelyn Smith, Georgia Hollins, Vivian Powell, and Ida Flannagan. The officers of the club for the year are: Marianna Beck, president; Susan Cespides, vice-presi- dent; Mary E. Cole, secretary; Carmen Gayheart, assistant Secretary, and Daisy Murphy, treasurer. CLASS WILL— (Continued) To Miss Arnold, I will an admit-sign- ing machine so that students won’t have to be late to class waiting to get an ad- mit. To Georgia Hollins, I will the Butterfly personality and gayety of Jerry Boggs. To Marcelline Jones ' and Evelyn Price, I leave the height of Ruth Redmond. To Rhoda Mae Scott, I leave the poise of Dolores Ellis. To Miss Brydie, I will a greenhouse so she may have all the flowers she wants for her desk to cheer up the dreary and solemn office. To Miss Baird, I will a duo-person- ality so that she may at least be in two places at once to bestow her cheerful smile on the downhearted. To the Chemistry Class, I will another genius like Paul Byrd. To. Mr. Jeffress, I leave a private of- fice and complete office force to help him manage the many versatilities of his character. There! My possessions have just about run out, except for a large bundle of school loyalty which I leave to be di- vided equally among all the students. With due thankfulness to those who chose me as the executor of this will, I now place my signature hereto, trusting that these few things which I have given will be received in good faith and used cr preserved as their nature demands. BERNICE INEZ MOORE, ’33. Page Twenty - seven ©v= JAMES MOORE President The Student Council is to some de- gree the governing body of the school. It punishes offenders who do not con- duct themselves properly outside the classroom and during the school hours. The school punishes s ' uch offenders as those who leave the school grounds with- out due authority during school hours, and those who disturb the tranquility of the student body outside the classroom. The Student Council is’ composed of representatives from each advisory, one each from the Freshman, and Sopho- more advisories, two from Junior advis- ories, and three from the Senior advis- ories. This variation is due to the de- creasing number of students in the upper class, thus the representatives must be increased so that each class may have equal representation. The representa- tives of the senior groups, and the ad- visory they represent are as follows: Miss Smothers, Alice Ausbie, Mary Cole and Lucille Herriford; Mrs. Goss, Jose- phine Hurse, Armanda Kirkendoll and Bernice Moore; Miss Barker, Edith Smith, Jennie Vincent and P ' rances Wil- liams; Mr. Mayberry, James Moore, Murrel Lee, Bertrand Neal, and Eugene Higgins. The representatives nominate all the officers and elect all candidates with the exception of the president and the vice- president. The latter candidates are voted upon by the student body; the one receiving the highest vote is president, and the other automatically becomes vice-president. The officers and chair- men of the various departments for the past year are: JAMES MOORE President MARY E. COLE Vice-President BERNICE MOORE Secretary ARMANDA KIRKENDOLL Sergeant-at-Arms JOSEPHINE HURSE Treasurer BERTRAND NEAL Department of Justice EDITH SMITH Department of Awards ALICE AUSBIE Department of Foreign Relations ALBERT MARSHALL Department of Safety LUCILLE HEHHIFORD Department of Recreation Page Twenty-eight ©V� Editorials OUR COMMENCEMENT This class of 1933 has launched upon a new course. Far be it from them to follow in the footsteps of their predeces- sors, blindly. They have chosen their own way to the shore of graduation. They have adopted the idea of a demo- cratic commencement — the first to be at- tempted in a Kansas City high school. Everyone realizes what this type of commencement means in the history of our school. Our patrons and even some of our faculty look upon our venture rather skeptically. Even so, the mem- bers of the class have unerring faith in their chosen leaders and their ideas. All they ask is that the public await the success that is sure to be ours Heretofore, our commencement exer- cises have been only for a few. Just that Select group that had sacrificed good fun, loyalty and service to the school for a good grade. Those who upheld Lin- coln on the field, on the stage, and in her commercial department composed only the background in the final develop- ment of the picture. Now it is to be different. The masses will hold the center of the stage, for after all, is not the work done by the class as a whole far more important than that done by the selfish individual? BARBARA C. McDONALD, Assistant Editor. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Extra-curricular activities are as im- portant in a high schooTs program as the studies of the cirriculum. The former provide the “spice of life” in a whole- some recreational form, when relieved from the monotonus routine of the latter. Half the things learned in a classroom a re soon forgotten, another fourth, we cannot use. From educational clubs con- nected with the school, a student learns things that are not only useful in future life, but in the present. Traits of character and mental and physical qualities are also better devel- oped in extra-cirricular activities. In the classroom the teacher is the compelling force, but in these activities, one does things on his own initiative. In athlet- ics all five senses of a student are de- veloped to the uttermost, for they have to rise to crucial moments at most unex- pected times. Athletics also provides boys . and girls training which includes activities for the betterment of their health and development. With such assets in extra-cirricular ac- tivities, why should not more students take an active part, and encourage oth- ers to do so? ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Lincolnite staff of 1933 takes this opportunity to thank its many admirers who. have been diligent, faithful and untiring in their efforts to make this Lincolnite possible and successful. We wish to express our gratitude for the moral, literary, and financial support given by the student body, teachers, and friends. JAMES MOORE, Editor.

James Ross: My dad gives me a whip- ping nearly every day. Mr. Howell: You should be like George Washington. He didn’t get any lickings. James: Yeah, but he’s getting plenty now.

That Mr. Jackson is’ quite a competi- tor of Will Rogers. That Mr. Marsden carries a Mona Lisa smile. That Mr. Ellison could actually laugh. That Miss Payne was another Marie Dressier.

Page Thirty-two IN OTHER DAYS I sat beside a silver stream And caught the brightness of its gleam Which lulled me in a golden dream Of other days. A horse appeared with fiery mane A rider too with mail of flame Mounted lordly for his great fame Of other days. Behold a damsel with raven hair Plays heavenly strains on an olden lyre A beast lurks near her to ensnare Of other days. The Knight rode up with shield upheld He smote the beast, the beast was fell’d And maid and lyre were safe and well In other days. The bubbling stream did dance in glee And I awoke to stare and see It blithely, lightly laughed at me For dreaming ever now to be In other days. — Christine McDonald. CLASSMATES We have journeyed down the years, Classmates ' of the way. You have been a staff to me, Through night and day. What your presence means to me, I can never say. Storms have beaten on the path, Which our way led through, But a share of sunny skies Has been ours, too; And this road is treasured now, Just because of you. We s ' till journey down the years, Classmates, dear to me, Storms or sunshine may be ours, Which we cannot see; Yet, if I but have you still, I shall happy be. — Harry Whaley. OUR VOYAGE When I was once in a foreign land A man came up to me, “Come, I have a gallant ship, We’ll sail on High School’s Sea.” “If you will sail with me,” he s’aid, “I’ll fit you out for life; I’ll let you conquer worldly wrongs And win — through toil and strife.” It was not long till I’d agreed To try this stormy way. We soon had cleared the harbor’s mouth, And came to Sophomore Bay. For months it was a treacherous trip, But by a lucky break We overcame the pounding waves, And came to Junior Strait. Ah! what a gorgeous place this was! And such a lovely clime! We lay around and rested up JusI had a nifty time. So now we’ve come to Senior Point Although we’ve had to fight; We’ll say adieu to L. H. S. And make a broader strike. And now that we have crossed one lap, I’m sure you’ll all agree, We’ll prove ourselves as sailors true — The class of ’33. — Ruth Redmond, ’33. WHERE TO FROM HERE? Where to from here, dear class of ’33? Where are we going today? Over the hills, across the lane, And out some place to play? Where to from here, dear class of ’33? Where are we going to look? Across the town and back again, Pestering Mr. Cook? No! No! dear class of ’33, Neither to pester nor play. We are going out to conquer the world, And surpass the people of yesterday. — Carrie Fields. IN MEMORIAM Time dims the light of other days; Youth and its joys fade away Save what from heaven, wafts our way. But love’s remembrances still remain. RALPH BUTLER MARY TAYLOR JESSIE MOORE Page Thirty-three “No Ways Tired ” For 15 years the Call has stood as a vigilant guardian of the rights of Kansas City’s colored population. It has shouldered their grievances, waged their battles, told the story of their achievements, spurred on their ambitions. The way has not been easy. Battle-scarred, but still fighting and climbing, the Call looks back with pleasure upon years marked by some inevitable defeats and many notable victories. It feels that one of its greatest contributions has been the op- portunity for employment it has offered to trained young people. It anticipates with keen enjoyment the continued right to serve Kansas City in the future. We would pass on to you, the graduates of Lincoln high school, one bit of philosophy. You too have overcome barriers to reach graduation day. We admonish you to continue your ef- forts toward ultimate success. Become “no ways tired” of the struggle. High courage and determination will win your indi- vidual goals.
