MAY SHE REIGN FOREVER No greater campaign was’ ever launched by the students of Lincoln High School than the contest in which “Good Queen Bell” came out with her great victory. This was a very close contest from start to finish, but by being a very clever saleslady “Queen Bell” sold more “Lincolnites” than her competitors, who also sold many “Lincolnites.” Those girls who were competing against “Queen Bell” are as follows: Oceola Thomas ' , Hallie Scott, Ruby Johnson, Theresa Robinson, Ber- nice Hill, Emma Lou Tate, Alice Ravelle, Maxine Perry, Marcella Ray, Merrill Williams, Hazel Flemming, Lucille Byrd, Tecytl Gardner and Ra- chel Dabner. Long live “Queen Bell.” May she forever reign!” JOE NEAL MOORE. Page Seventeen @Vs Class History By JUANITA KIDD Now the history of the clafes of nine- teen-hundred and thirty-four of Lincoln High School is in this wise: In the beginning, in the thirtieth and nineteen-hundredth year of our Lord, in the ninth month and on the sixth day of the month, there entered into this Land of Learning of Lincoln High School, six hundred twenty-five seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the seventh grade, where they had been busi- ly engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom; some were very green and fresh from a far country and some were from other halls ' of instruc- tion in different places. And it came to pass as they did enter this land, that they were graciously re- ceived by those who it was decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery by-ways of knowledge. An d as they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of inhabi- tants thereof, and their strangeness’ wore away and they each became as one among the rest. And it came to pass after some months their eyes turned toward graduation, yet many with one consent, began to make excuse. The first said, “I am dull and cannot learn, I pray thee have me excused.” Another said, “I am in poor health. Therefore, I cannot graduate.” Still another said, “I am going to get married and, therefore, I need not grad- uate.” So thus did the class decrease in num- bers until the whole number at the end of the first year was three hundred sev- enty-five. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year (Sophomore year) the class of four and thirty raised their heads in new dignity of t heir promotion. And behold did certain wayfarers with much pride reach one of the gates, in this Land of Learning to a certain high placejcalled the Honor Roll. They were these: Mary Graham, Dessie Norwood. Now as of the first year the number decreased so that at the end of the sec- ond year the number was one hundred ninety-one. So it happened at the beginning of the third year they found it necessary to or- ganize themselves closer so that they gain in strength, and their courage in- creased and they did wax strong. And they chose their wisest ones to be their leaders, which were these: Grayce Ken- nedy, president; Wendell Phillips, vice- president; Alice Ravelle, secretary; Alice Bell, assistant secretary; Freddie Gulli- ver, sergeant-at-arms. And it also happened that a chosen one from another tribe a (Senior candi- date for Student Manager) was forth- with defeated by one of our number (the Juniors), D. L. McIntosh. Thus a certain part of the class of four and thirty did indulge in wide and different fields among them one called dramatics. And it came to pass that the class did aspire to present to the people a great and wonderful play, wherein each should act what he was not. This was call e d “Big Time,” being held on the twenty-fifth month in the thirty-third and nineteen hundredtht year of our Lord. And Lo! the people did turn out in large numbers to this play and did make it a great success. And so it happened that again these Seekers of Knowledge there were these who found another gate in this Land of Learning called the Honor Roll. They were these : Mary Newsom, Dessie Norwood, Mc- Kinley Anderson, Mary Moore, James Parker. And behold, as the class went on its way in great rejoicing through the Land of Plenty and of Promise, they did look forward to what did seem to them the most glorious year, the fourth year. And lo, the whole number at the end of this year was one hundred seventy. And it came to pass at the end of these three years, that one of our judges, Mr. John L. Love, who had thus far traveled with our band, did go from us to a far distant place, and there was much grief and sorrow in the land. For verily, had he made himself dearly beloved by the class of four and thirty. Now this, the fourth year, in the his- tory of this conquering host of thirty- four, has been one of much hard labor, and has little resting by the wayside; for preparations have been making ready for us to make our final departure from the land. And so, it came to pass, that band did endeavor to organize as for the same purpose of the previous year. Again they did choose these from among them, the wisest ones to be their leaders: Wendell Phillips, president; Mary New- som, vice-president; Evelyn Griffin, sec- retary: Alice Ravelle, assistant secre- tary; Tecytl Gardener, treasurer. Thus with much pride they labor and do many marvelous deeds. Now it came to pass, as their pride grew to a great bigness within the year that the class began to wish for badges befitting their station; and at last after much considering and re-considering, they professed to be satisfied, and pins were purchased and the class rested well content. Page Eighteen ©V Senior Girls Glee Club The Girls Glee Club, under the direc- tion of Miss Blanche K. Morrison, strives to foster good music in Lincoln High School and provide entertainment for other individuals. It endeavors to awaken an appreciation of and a love for classi- cal music. This group participated in many im- portant programs. Among the many were an interracial program at the church, a Girl Reserves program at Paseo High School and a program at Central High School. The sopranos of this group are: Mar- cella Ray, Marjorie Richards. Lafelda Finney and Bernice Hill. The second so- pranos are: Essie Garrett, Cardie McGee, Patsy Young and Alice Ravelle. The altos are Mary Newsom, Dayse Murphy, Geneva Whitley and Ernestine Taylor. GRACE KENNEDY, Reporter. CLASS HISTORY— (Continued) And it also happened that a certain great judge spake unto the class ' : “Go gather together paper and pencils and bottles of ink, and write what will be at least three thousand words !” And it will be called a ‘Term Paper’, and it must contain at least three thousand words. And it was called a ‘Term Paper’, that must contain, was so. And behold it did likewise come to pass that a certain number of the class did reach a certain height, the highest in the Land of Learning known as the Honor Society. They were these: Clif- ton Miller, Major; Freddie Pierce, Spon- sor Major, the Captains of which are Odell Zachary, Company C; Norris Mc- Coy, Company B; Lester Chung, Com- pany C; Albert Marshall, Company D. The honorary captains of which are Es- sie Garrett, Company A; Mary New- som, Company B; Geneva Whitley, Com- pany C; Estelle Williams, Company D. So it has come to pass that of the six hundred twenty-five that entered this land in one and thirty, only one hundred seventy will depart. For verily, verily, I say unto you, that broad is the gate that leadeth to High School, and many, there be that go in thereat; but straight is ' the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few there be that find it. Four years hath the class of four and thirty sojourned in the land, and gath- ered in large portions from the tree of knowledge. Now, I say unto you, they must depart thence, to go each a sepa- rate way, to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. JUANITA KIDD ’34. Page Nineteen This ' group was organized to create an interest for girls and to encourage them to live according to the high ideals of life. It has undoubtedly been success- ful in doing so for many years. There are groups of Girl Reserves dis- tributed throughout the entire world. Letters of correspondence are exchanged, thus broadening their scope of knowledge as to the activities of girls of other na- tions’. The sponsor of this group is Miss Ruth Johnson, a very diligent young woman. The officers are as follows: MEMBERS Louise M. Johnson, Bernice Hill, Mar- celine Jones, Marcella Ray, Mary New- some, Zadell Collins, Arzell Covington, Gertrude Huff, Bessie Shelby, Juanita Kidd, Thelma Jones, Marjorie Beck, Brooksie Canady, Fannie Anderson, Es- telle Williams, Anna Lee Harkless, Lu- cille Buford, Ollie Wood, Muriel Wil- liams. GRACE KENNEDY, Reporter. President Vice-President Secretary Ass’t Secretary Treasurer Essie Garrett Harriet Williams Rachel Jackson Alice Bell __Tecetyl Gardner ©V The purpose of the R. 0. T.

The following Cadet officers, un- der the careful supervision of Sergeant William Banks, have had a very success- ful year. Cadet Major, Clinton Miller; Adjutant, Alonzo Jones; Captains, Odell Zachary, Lester Chung and Albert Mar- shall; First Lieutenants, Fderedick Gul- liver, Alonzo Jones and Alfred Richard- son. Second Lieutenants, Percy May- field, Norris McCoy, Adam Busch, O. J. Sapp, Orjville Hambright and Donzell Cable. The honor of Sponsor Major was ' be- stowed upon Miss Freddie Pierce. The honorary captains are Essie Garret, Com- pany A; Mary Newsom, Company B; Geneva Whitley, Company C, and Es- telle Williams, Company D. The battalion has taken part in many public activities, among them being the Armistice Day parade, and the presen- tation of the book of a “Million Names,” by the Cadet officers in Convention hall. The battalion was presented a merit flag by Major Fox. This flag went to Company A, which is commanded by Captain Odell Zachary. ADAM BUSCH, Reporter. Page Twenty - one Class Prophecy One calm, quiet evening as I sat in the living room of my home, buried comfor- tably in a large arm chair, glancing over some of my books, I chose a volume en- titled “Opportunity and Success,” and began to glance over it. I read inten- sively the pages so vividly discussing tne recognition of opportunity and the key to success. As I read a sharp rap was heard at the door. Dropping my book, I hurried to answer. When I had opened the door, my visi- tor said, “I am the Future, and the Prophet of All Things.” Come with me in my Space ship, which is outside, and I will take you far into the future and show you the future activities of your classmates.” The space ship was a large locomotive of some sixty feet in length. The front end tapered down to a point which assured little wind resistance. The ship was round with three wheels beneath it, two at the front end, and one at the rear for guiding purposes. The entrances on the sides were neatly fit- ting doors. At the tail end there were three rectangular-shaped pieces of metal which were attached very firmly. These were the guiding devices. The plane was in a two-tone color. There was a black stripe down the top and on the nose; the remainder of the ship was of a dark yellow color. We boarded the ship and were soon on our way to the land of “Make Believe.” As we sped along smoothly, the scene changed to 1944. Checking the speed, we began to sail around Slowly. Looking out one of the portholes, I saw a tall and large building. What do you suppose it was ? It was a large factory with Alonzo Jones as president and Mazelma Mott as his private secre- tary. By the way, they manufactured nutts. Whose large sand box is that down there? Future — “That’s not a sand box. It is the large sun porch of Mr. and Mrs ' . Monroe Poindexter’s home. Louise Johnson is the little wifey.” “Who are those ladies down there on the beach?” Future — “Why, they are Hallie Scott, Maxine Perry, Lucille Johnson, Harriet Williams and Emma Lou Tate. Oh, they are bathing beauties!” Who are those fellows down there playing football?” Future — “Why, that’s the All-Ameri- can team. In the backfield are William Horton, Homer Baugh, L. C. McClendon, and McKinley Anderson. D. L. McIn- tosh is the coach. “Who is that lady with the Pekinese dog ?” Future — “Why, that is Evelyn Smith, and she is’ still as sophisticated as ever.” Ah, there goes Geneva Whitley, Hazel Fleming, Estelle Williams, Ernestine Everett and Essie Garret in a Rolls Royce. They are the leading chorus girls in Zigfield’s Follies. We sailed along a little farther and came to a building with a cross on it which I investigated. Why it is a church, but who is the pastor? Future — “Why, Rev. Joe Neal Moore is the pastor.” “Who is that fellow going along the street wearing a tall sik hat and eye- glasses ?” Future — “Oh, that’s Lloyd Smith. He teaches people to be wits in twenty les- sons but he only gives ten.” “What newspaper building is that over there?” Future — “Why, that is’ the Chicago De- fender. Grace Kennedy, Juanita Kidd, Marjorie Beck and Mary Newsom are some of its leading reporters. Rachel Jackson has taken Dorothy jlAx’s place in this profession.” “Who are those fellows on that box making all of that noise?” Future — “Oh, that’s Joseph Tittle and Roy Hooks. The crowd seems to be in- terested. They are still speaking from ‘supernatural standpoints.’ ” “Where is all of that music coming from ?” Future — “That is Freddie Culliver and Victor Barker with their orchestras play- ing in a night club. The music is so hot that the people have to sit on asbestos pads to keep from burning their clothes ' . By the way, did you know that Wen- dell Phillips, the noted author and states- man, has just finished his book on “Brainology ?” “Whose radio station is that?” Future — “That is owned by Walter Robinson, Elliott Harris and the McCoy brothers. They are specializing in radio and television. Next door to that estab- lishment is ' tne Stokes, Stokes, Stokes Stokes Undertaking company.” Here comes a vegetable man. Who is he ? Future — “Oh, that’s Odell Zachary. He is selling ‘Wild Greens, poke salad and dock.” Where are Freddie Pierce, Alice Ra- velle, Thelma Washington, and Essie Garrett — and what are they doing ? Future — “Oh, they are still looking for husbands. Evelyn Griffin is the national tennis champion now and Rachel Dabner has just won the ladies’ golf champion- ship. “What is that newsboy saying ' ?” Future — “He said that Alfred Rich- ardson has jus ' t won the 200-meter dash at the Olympic Stadium.” Page Twenty-two ©V! r d Stud ent Council ROLAND RHODES President The Lincoln High School Student Council has been very instrumental in promoting the welfare of the school. The Council is composed of five de- partments with leaders appointed by the president. They are as follows: De- partment of Safety with James Parker as chairman, and Mr. Carrol, supervisor; Department of Awards ' with Theola Thomas as chairman, and Miss Barker, supervisor; Department of Foreign Re- lation, Eunice Weaver, chairman, and Mr. Dunlap, supervis or. This depart- ment launched a successful drive for the Junior N. A. A. C. P.; Department of Recreation with Jose Herrera, chairman, and Mr. Jeffress, supervisor; Depart- ment of Justice, Clinton Miller as chair- man, and Mr. Griffin, supervisor. Through this department every rule and regulation of the school is given the due respect by the student body. The Student Council is a student-gov- erned organization, operated by the rep- resentatives from the various advisor- ies. All groups have two representatives except the senior boy’s group, which has four. There is a total number of 47 repre- sentatives. The President and Vice-President are elected by the student body. The other officers are elected by the representa- tives. The officers are as follows: Roland Rhodes President Hallie Scott Vice-President Rachel Jackson Secretary Jose Herrera Sgt. at Arms McKinley Anderson Treasurer Alic e Ravelle Asst. Treasurer CLASS PROPH EC Y— ( Continued ) “Who is that cruising along in that sport model car?” Future — “That’s Albert Marshall and Alice Bell. They are still saying, ‘We are just friends.’ There goes Fannie Anderson, Willa Burch and Lafelda Fin- ney. They are three happy brides ' now. That art institute that we passed a few moments ago has among its collections ' of treasures many of the works of our own artist, Guinevere Guy.” “That is good news, but whose factory is that below?” Future — “Why, that is owned and operated by the Busch Brothers. They manufacture vest pocket cars.” Porter — “Sir, the gas is running low and we will have to land at once.” “Very well, then. Have the pilot land near that hot dog stand. I am getting rather hungry now.” My host gave the command and the pilot set the ship down gently. Well, can I believe my eyes! Lois Thomas is the proprietor of the stand! Well, I am very sorry that the gas ran out and I could not visit every one of my classmates, but the Future tells me that they are all rendering some service that is beneficial to mankind. CLINTON MILLER, Class Prophet. Page Twenty-three — — — — _ — w Class Will As ' a memiber of this family and a trusted counselor, I have assembled you to hear the reading of the will of your beloved upper classmen, with whom you have spent so many joyous hours at dear old Loncoln Hig h School. My client, as you perhaps know, for four years has been slowly contracting a disease that when fully matured, results in graduation. Please hold your tears ' and sobbing until the reading is completed. My client came to me one day in a very restless state. When I asked him what was troub- ling him, he told me that his stay was nearing an end very rapidly and he felt that his dear friends, the lower class- men, would drop into a primitive state without some of his possessions. I agreed with him that nature had been very unkind to them. I reminded him that although it was the just thing to do, it was not compulsory. He did not have a complete inventory of his pos- sessions and heirs because of his mental state and the shortness ' of time, but he assured me that due to his great friend- ship that he had listed all his r rize pos- sessions and dictated his will as fol- lows : “I bequeath the Junior class, my friendly rivals ' , all of the privileges and rights allowed the seniors, although you have already partaken of them; and the long cherished senior seating section in the assembly hall. I also give them all a dignity and etiquette possessed by seniors and the ability to be ideal Lin- colnites. “To the sophomores (wise fools), I give the ability to be wise but not foolish, to carry on where the juniors left off and rival them as Lincolnites. “To the Freshmen I give the courage to carry on until they have attained the h ' ghest pedestal as seniors. To all the classes I allot an abundance of school spirit and loyalty to carrv its banners in athletics and other fields to greater heights. “I have a few minor possessions that I wish to give away providing the reci- pients make use of them to the utmost of their several abilities. “I bequeath to every student a volume of lectures on etlr ' cs’ written by well known senior advisors, Miss Smothers, Miss Barker, Mrs. Goss and Mr. May- berry. “To Yewell Stevenson, I will a bow tie and a book to inform him how to look studious and dignified, the two things he has spent tnree years trying to attain. “I will to Mr. Griffin a book contain- ing the answers to all the curious ques- tions asked by seniors. “To Miss Brydie, I will a series of award day speeches. “To every despondent student, I will Miss Baird’s cheerful smile and person- ality to encourage him. “I will the oratorical ability of Joe Moore to Delmas Escoe and other aspi- rants ' . “I will the all-round abilities of Wen- dell Phillips and Mary Newsom to Paul Hererra and Susan Cespedes. “I will the poise and dignity of Guine- vere Guy to Dorothy Kimmons. “I will Junior May, Orville Ham- br ' ght’s place as the smallest officer in the R. O. T. C. “To Junior Brown, I will a classroom personality so the teacher will know when he is acting natural. “To Mr. Howell, I will a quiet hour with an American Government class composed of model students like Oddis Cole and Eva Perry, and I also wil lhim a bag of peanuts. “I will to any pupil who is so unfor- tunate as to encounter a battalion of F’s a copy of John Bean’s book, ‘Believe the Impossible and Succeed.’ “I will the all-around track ability of William Horton to James Morrow, the most bashful boy in the junior class. “To Spurgeon Guise, I will the respon- sibility of Lloyd Smith to keep the Senior boys advisory group smiling. “To Roland Rhodes, I will the oratori- cal ability of Edmund Burke so that he may hold the Student Council spell- bound with his poetic speeches as speaker of that organization. “I will to Mrs. Waters two energetic assistants as dependable as Essie Gar- ret and Lucille Wright. “I will to every student opportunities to make use of his talents within the school. “When you have received your gifts spare all weeping and grief and replace them with all the joy and happiness that has prevailed throughout my stay with you in the year 1934 A. D.” McKinley anderson. Page Twenty-four Sports The basketball season at Lincoln High School this year was better than it has been for years. To Coach Clif- ford Madison, give the honor for building a championship team. To tne Senior boys, Louis ' Collins, Homer Baugh, Wil- liam Horton, McKinley Anderson and L. C. McClendon we give the honor for winning the championship. Two fresh- men and a junior did outstanding play- ing on .the champion team. Luck to them next year. The Tigers opened the basketball sea- son with a new spirit, a new coach, and a determination to win all. The Alumni was their first victim. Through the southwest the tiger roamed,, playing fourteen games and losing only two. Sumner beat us on the Sumner court. In the return game, Lincoln got revenge. K. V. S. beat us on our own court. We were invited to enter the Atchi- son tournament. K. V. S. was there. In the quarter-finals we eliminated Fort Leavenworth; in the semi-finals we trampled Northeast. The finals came and with it the championship title. We were scheduled to mep ' K. V. S. who had reached the finals also. We clashed. After the battle was over the referee screamed through the megaphone: Jbin- coln 27, K. V. S. 21. The Tiger had bat- tled his way to the Missouri Valley championship. Out of seventeen games we scored 539 points to our opponent’s 325 points. vVe wish Coach Maaison the same suc- cess and a better team next year. JOHN BEAN, Sports Editor. o Coach Anderson opened the season with a clash against the Alumni. The game was hard-fought, but we were de- feated by the E-Grads 6-0. Within a week we held the mighty Sam Taxi Tigers to a tie of 0-0. By now we were in form for the game with Higginsville, October 27. The outcome was 18-6, in favor of Lincoln. A week later we in- vited the Higginsville boys for a tilt in the bowl on the Paseo. The student body was out to cheer us to victory. We trounced the visitors and won the game with a score of 20-0. Western College asked for a game in the bowl. We out- played the W. C. team, but ended in a tie 6-6. Now came November 30, the day for the greaest game of the season. The clash between Lincoln and Sumner was set in the beautiful Sumner Sta- dium. Three thousand students saw the Tigers clash with the Spartans. Sum- ner ran up 3 touchdowns at the half, 19 0. The wrecking crew, Horton, Col- lins, Anderson, Bean, McClendon and Baugh turned the tide. Sumner was helpless. We crossed the goal line three times in a row, but it was too late. The whistle blew as we took possession of the ball on their 25-yard line. The score was 38-10 in Sumner’s favor. JOHN BEAN, Sports Reporter. o THE SCHEME YEAR 1932-33 Coach Gaines, after weeks of hard work, finally built a championship team. The Sumner and Lincoln dual meet in the Sumner Stadium was a disappoint- ment to Lincoln. Sumner doubled the score on us. Horton, Anderson, and Bean placing for Lincoln. This did not discourage us. Coach Gaines entered the Kansas City relay in the Sumner Sta- dium. Lincoln won 6 points, about eighth place. With a little hope left, we entered the Missouri State Track and Field Meet at Jefferson City. The Se- nior Class was there to cheer us. Schools from from all parts ' of Missouri entered this meet. Lincoln battled hard to overcome all obstacles, and to merge as the championship team. To Poind- exter, Richadson, Horton, Anderson, Mc- Coy and McClendon the Senior Class of ’34 gives credit for winning the Mis- souri Valley State championship. JOHN BEAN, Sports Editor. Page Twenty-five Wd Editorials SAIL ON! Broad is the sea of Life and many are its storms and crags. We, as seniors, are nearing the time to enter this great sea of Life to sail our own ships, char- acter. Will we make efficient captains and anchor our ship in a profitable harbor, or will we be careless and be ship- wrecked by such rocks’ as laziness, frivol- ity, and egotism? The future holds the answer to these and similar questions. Let us hope each ship will prove sea- worthy on its great adventure and over- come the waves. Great will be the re- joicing of all when they hear that our seamanship has borne us safely to the harbor of success’. Bon voyage, seniors! MARY NEWSOM, Editor. o THE LINCOLNITE STAFF The Lincolnite Staff of 1934 has en- deavored to produce an interesting book. This book, being a senior class project, doesn’t necessarily mean that the book was published entirely for the pleasure of the “Lincolnite Staff,” or the Senior clas ' s, but has been published for the en- joyment and pleasure of the public as well. The staff has worked very hard and yet each member can look back over the year with a great deal of pride and joy. Each can recall some happy moments that he has spent within the walls of dear old Lincoln High. Editors have co- operated with the Editor-in-Chief, and have spent much of their time in an ef- fort to produce an excellent “Lincolnite.” We feel especially grateful to Mr. Mor- rison, Mr. Marsden, and Miss Smothers for their support. The Staff felt they were behind them, and without their aid and guidance, this book would have been an impossible undertaking. JAMES BUSH. o “THE FACULTY OF LINCOLN HIGH” The Senior Class wishes’ to express its sincere thanks to the faculty of “Lin- coln High,” for their continued interest in its welfare. We shall ever feel a no- ble pride in those who have so wisely, and so generously, placed the means of education within the reach of all. We shall be true to the principles you have imparted, and to the ideals of true edu- cation, for we realize that this gradua- tion is not the end of our career, but the beginning. JAMES W. BUSH, Asst. Editor. We, the Lincolnite Staff, take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the support given us by our readers and friends. Especially do we thank the teachers by whose guidance the publication of this book was made possible. MARY NEWSOM, Editor-in-Chief. Page Twenty-six ®v T ' C) Our Diary SEPTEMBER — We entered as Seniors, full of ambition and enthusiasm, looking forward to a year of labor and toil which would lead up to the happiest moment of our lives, graduation. OCTOBER’ — This month we witnessed the campaign for student council presi- dent, in which our candidate, Hallie Scott, was defeated by the Junior candi- date, Roland Rhodes. NOVEMBER — Another defeat. We were forced to eat our turkey Thanks- giving Day in gloom after our L. H. S. Tigers were forced after a hard strug- gle to surrender to the Sumner High School Jay Hawks in a football game. DECEMBER — We were entertained the morning before the Christmas holi- days with a Christmas pageant spon- sored by the L. H. S. Dramatic depart- ment. In the afternoon part of us went to the Union Station to sing in collab- oration with other high schools of Kan- sas City. Then we were released for a week’s vacation which we were glad to get. JANUARY — We came back, being very lazy after a week of much loafing and good times, ready to face exams which were to announce our entrance into the second semester. FEBRUARY — Being settled and back to work again we celebrated Negro His- tory Week with many orations on the subject. MARCH — Triumph!! We’ve beat the Sunmner Jayhawks in the most thrilling and stirring game of the basketball sea- son. We also were keen eye-witnesses to four one-act plays presented by the Dramatics department. APRIL — Triumph again!! With all due credit to the L. H. S. basketball team we may proudly say we won the State tournament. MAY — Being the last full month of our four years of Lincoln High it was naturally filled with events. We saw one of the best comedies of the season spon- sored by the Junior Clas ' s of the Dramat- ics department. In this month we were honored by being invited to Lincoln Uni- veristy, our state college. We sent our seniors with the highest scholastic hon- ors to represent us. Later the R. O. T. C. unit had inspection of every R. O. T. C. Crier. The seniors sponsored their annual senior play, “Tiger House,” a blood-curdling mystery in which the senior dramatic stars shone brightly, very brightly. JAUNITA KIDD ’34. Commencement Commencement, the most important event of high school life, is the time when one feels certain undescribable thrills deep down inside; the time when the success of each student is recognized. To some, Commencement is the comple- tion of high school education; to others, it is ' the beginning. Whether the finish or the beginning, it is a time to look back and be thrilled by the thought of how important you felt to receive a roll of paper which contained your name and signified that you had successfully reached the first milestone. This year’s program is largely a musi- cal one presented by the students and carrying out the idea of democracy. The first attempt at having the graduation exercises wholely in charge of the stu- dents was ' made last year. This proved so successful that the idea was carried over into this year. Negro music and musicians form the basis of the program. The music of our people is discussed from native African music and its de- velopment to modern jazz and classical and semi- classical music. Many of the familiar spirituals and folk songs are based on African music and it is inter- esting to note the types, and their de- velopment. The production of this type of pro- gram has required much effort and pa- tience on the part of both teachers and students. The teacher is repaid bv the satisfaction of hearing the work put over in a fine way and a speaking part in the program is an honor which more than re- pays the student for his effort.

Our lives are woven in the years Our large brown eyes are filled with tears We hate to leave, old Lincoln High We hate to say the word, “Goodbye.” But yonder stands another door Waiting for the class of ’34, Into a greater sea we’ll sail Hoping that we shall not fail. We’ve enjoyed the days of sunshine and song And the days when everything went wrong Yet life can no greater be, Than the life on the educational sea. So farewell, old Lincoln High Oh, how we hate to say “Goodbye” Farewell schoolmates, great and small, Farewell, dear teachers, one and all. JAMES E. PARKER. THE THRILL OF GRADUATION There’s a thrill that comes ' in Life When our high school work is done That night of graduation Enjoyed by everyone. We march through portals wide To greet the happy crowd Before our parents proud. At last the biggest thrill has come The greatest of them all The time when all hearts skip a beat The time when names are called. We beamingly stride up to the front And with a grateful bow Receive diplomas gold and blue Our souls, rejoicing now. And when that wonderous nite is o’er We never can forget The thrill of graduation Will linger with us I bet. HARRIETTE WILLIAMS. o SCHOOL SPIRIT Do you know there’s lots of people Settin’ round in this ’ere school Growlin’ like the very dickens Disobeying every rule? Don’t you be that kind of cattle, ’Cause they ain’t no use on earth — You jist be a booster rooster, Crow and boost for all you’re worth. If your school needs boostin’, boost’er, Can’t set around and wait and see If some other feller’s willin’, Sail right in, this country’s free. Cast your loaves ' upon the waters, They’ll come back — the sayin’s true. Mebbe they’ll come back all buttered, When some feller boosts for you. ANONYMOUS. COMMENCEMENT NIGHT A m, udder looks up and sees hur child; She jist cain’t help but show a smile, Tho in huh day she got no trial, Her heart feels good all ob de while. De young men tryin to be sedate; Sit right up in dere chair all straight; To heah his name he kin hardly wait; The thrill he cain’t antisicate. 1 r When de night arribes and de gals look tight Wid dere hair ail in curls and dere shin- ing white, Lawsy, dere be’s no prittier sight Dat good folks, am “Commencement Night.” Page Thirty-two Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be; They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, 0 Lord art more than they.
