©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.

©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
