©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

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.

©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. Page Twenty-nine
