Honorable Mention Due to the earnest and untiring efforts of Miss Ozella Harris, of Mrs. Goss’ ad- visory, and Misses Elsie Barker, and Faye Allen, both of Miss Baker’s advis- ory, there were submitted more than one thousand subscriptions for Lincolnites this year. Heretofore, only one thousand Lincolnite have been printed, but due to the combined efforts of these three girls and the queen, this amount will be insuf- ficient to fill the number of subscrip- tions.

Class History By LEONARD LOCKE We, the class of 1935, feel that as a group we have done our part during these four years toward making Lincoln High School the outstanding institution that it is today. We have marched into battle carrying our banners high and have more than a few timtes proved suc- cessful. FRESHMEN On a bright morning in September, 1931, six hundred and twenty-five young marathon runners lined up in the assem- bly hall of Lincoln High School to begin their run for four years. During the year’s trend many of our contestants were just getting warmed up. Some took sprints in English, oth- ers in Mathematics, Science, Physical Training and Music. A few more of these sprinters were successful, and these members’ names were placed on the honor roll. Those members are as fol- lows: Susan Cespedes and Theola Thomas. We ended our first lap in June of 1932 with many of our runners in good condi- tion. We were very grateful to our at- tentive coaches for their sincere atten- tion throughout this year’s run. SOPHOMORES We started our second lap of this run in September of 1932. In this lap many of our members had dropped out, but ap- proximately three hundred and seventy- six good contestants were still in the field. In this year’s run our honor roll in- creased. Those who were fortunate to receive honors were: Susan Cespedes, Delmas Escoe, Paul Herrera, Roland Rhodes, Theola Thomas and Clyde Washington. Members of our group began to branch out into different fields, such as Music, Art. R. O. T. C. and Athletics. Those who began to show their ingenious abil- ity in music were Marion Merritt, Leon- ard Locke and Joe Sasser, all members of the band. In Art, Wendell Marshall, Fannie Hill and Marguerite Jones. In R. O. T. C., Earsel Cave and Wilbert Stiles made a showing. In Atheltics our promising football players, Wardell Scott, James Morrow and Burnett Davis were on the field. In this year’s trend we began showing some of the older contestant’s (Juniors and Seniors) that we were thorough- breds and “could take it.” School closed, and we ended our second lap. We were again thankful to our attentive coaches. JUNIORS We entered our third lap in the fall of 1933. Our field of contestants had dwindled greatly, but one hundred and ninety-one loyal contestants were still plodding on. We made a splendid showing through- out the year. One of our greatest ac- complishments was the sending of our Junior candidate, Roland Rhodes, to the Council Presidency. Our fields of specialization were still growing. There were new faces spring- ing up in Art, Music, Athletic, and R. 0. T. C. Our honor roll was also increasing rapidly. The outstanding members for the year were: Susan Cespedes, Clyde Washington, Roland Rhodes, Delmas Es- coe, Paul Herrera, and Eva Lee Houston. In this year we also introduced some great dramatic stars. The greatest hit in this field was the Junior Play enti- tled, “Miss Collegiate.” The following made promising showings for stars of the future: Junior Brown, Charlie Mae Gamble, Myrtle Harris, Spurgeon Guise, Gailey Steele and Frank Wilkins. The year ended with the Junior-Senior reception. We again took time to thank those who were responsible for our suc- cess. SENIORS At last, we could see the tape and one hundred and seventy-six loyal runners were rallying to make a good finish. Our dramatic stars produced four one- act plays in the first part of the year. Those who had prominent parts are as follows: Junior Brown, William Wash- ington, Spurgeon Guise, Frank Wilkins, Charlie Mae Gamble, Floris Gracey, Fan- nie Mae Hill, Gailey Steele, and Isaac Smith. In addition to those names the following were very active in the assem- bly programs: Ozella Harris, Delmas Escoe, Robert Hargroves, and Paul Her- rera. Our honor students were still putting forth scholastic efforts. Those who were fortunate to receive honors for the year were Susan Cespedes, Guinivere Guye, Reuben Brown, Delmas Escoe, Paul Herrera, Roland Rhodes, Georgia Wat- son and Valoree Murphy. In our military department a large number of our group received commis- sions. Those receiving commissions were as follows: Wilbert Stiles, Maior: Ear- sel Cave, Captain; Thomas Killings- worth. Captain; Cecil Moore, Captain, and Bertran Wallace, Captain. Those Page Eighteen
