The Plesic) eni’ s 111 essaeje The members of the graduating class of Lincoln High School, in the year Nineteen Hundred Thirty-six, bring to the world a message of tri- umph and determination. We have triumphed over the studies presented to us in the elementary and high schools, and now we are determined to triumph over higher educational fields and the hardships of life. We know that whatever success we may attain, or whatever heights we may climb, our obligations to society and cur duty to humanity will never be obliter- ated. We have found joy and comfort within these walls. We will the world be kind to us? What do we care for a bed of roses? We are filled with determination to do or die ! We cannot stop here, for to stop is to admit defeat; and for us no such word exists in the language of American youth. We will not wait to be led to the door of success but we will get there through undying effort and frith in humanity. And then — when some one has said that we have fin- ished — we will say to him, with a smile, “Not finished — just begun !” CLASS MOTTO : Rowing; Not Drifting Faculty H. O. Cook, Principal G. S.

She worked most diligently in this contest, trivial though it may seem, and em erged victorious over a large number of competitors. We feel certain that she will continue to lead in every task that she undertakes even more easily than she emerged victorious in this contest. There was no equal to Miss Price this year. Miss Price is a member of Mr. Mayberry’s advisory group. The class of ’36 bows down in humble reverence to her majesty, the queen, for she has set a record for Lincoln High School. [ 15 ] Lincolnite King The royalty of Lincoln High School increases this year as we present to the reading public a king, in the person of Mr. Wendell Givan. This is the first time since 1930 that the boys have been in- terested enough in the selling of the Lin- colnite to appear with the queen. Mr. Givan worked untiringly and in the end emerged victoriously over his tree other opponents, Victor Travis, John Wesson, and Cecil Whitney. Mr. Givan is a mem- ber of Mrs. Goss’ advisory group. Along with the queen, the class of ’36 bows humbly to his majesty, the king. Class The day was hot, oh so hot! A wave of warm hot air overswept two lazy caterpillars just crawling around the front door of Lincoln High School. “Did you ever see such a day in your short life?” asked one solemnly. “It ' s terrible, I do admit, but this shad- ow from this splendid building is grand,” rejoined the other. “A friend of mine told me the doings of the class that is coming out of it this year; it’s a school, you know,” replied the first. “Shall I relate it to you as I heard it.” “Oh, well, it’s so cozy here, I guess you’d just as well. If it ' s not interest- ing I’ll go to sleep. If it is, ft will keep me awake.” Freshmen, 1932-1933 “As freshmen, they came to the dear old edifice, 649 strong, in September, 1932. There never was a jollier and more frivolous group. Yet, I remember they were a shy group and regarded up- perclassmen with great caution. They held their standards, though, for when the upperclassmen tried to tack green on them for a class color they protested. They waved the banner of school spirit for the freshmen class high and kept it there. Among their honor roll residents for that year were: Theo Nix, Ella Mathews, Eunice Weaver, Mae Della Alexander and Fryne Coleman. That first year was kind o’hard for some of them and with such excuses as T must work,’ ‘I’m too dumb to learn,’ ‘My health won’t stand it,’ ‘I’m tired of going to school,’ and so forth, they dropped to 506 that first year.” History Sophomores, 1933-1934 That second year they started with a bang! They knew more of the school customs now and tried harder to observe them. There were no more pranks played upon them by the fine upperclass- men. They were a wiser group by now. I saw the playful, frivolous little fresh- men of yesteryear begin to attain spe- cial likes in that second year. Some were battling with mathematics, others liked English, science played a part and many decisions concerning trades began to arise. It was real fun to see those little boys of a forgotten prankful day don their first R. 0. T. C. uniforms; see the shy- ness leave them and watch them, claim student council offices only to promote a growth of their dignity. They parti- cipated in everything worth while and everything they turned their hand to went over. Juniors, 1934-35 — How Many? A perfect junior class! They were just that. Now the positions they had longed for began to be a reality. They were very proud of Eunice Weaver and Fyrne Coleman as president and secre- tary of their student council. I often saw them at athletic activities, for there they often watched John Wesson and Andrew Ervin capture track honors, marveled at the spunk of Walter Day- ton and Charles Neaves on the football team and fairly gasped at the speed with which some of their classmates (Continued on page — ) [ 16 ] Class Prophecy A world renowned psychiartrist, Pro fessor F. F. Future, came to town and opened a consulting ro om for the unfit and the unsound of mind. Some of our earnest students went to see him. I am not implying that they were un- fit, unsound or un anything. They all went to be examined. Of course, no one ever found out what the professor said to the others. Last night I, too, had occasion to en- ter Professor Future’s office. Not be- cause of mental weakness; merely to get an examination. The professor wasn’t in and to kill time I gazed silently into his crystal ball, on the table in a very dark corner of the room,. In a very large city I saw a very neat- looking modiste shoppe. The owner was Mr. Walter Agins and his chief models were: Marion Foote, Irene Whitlev. Sudie Brooks, and Fayrene Richardson. The scene grew strange. An orches- tra was seated awaiting a signal from their leader, J ames Westbrook, to play. A switch was turned, and an announce- ment w ,s made, and the orchestra began to play a merry tune. A saxophone solo was introduced into the midst of the se- lection by James Miller. The scene shifted to the display room of a large gown establishment. The manikins marched about the platform. One of them was exceptionally graceful and wore her evening gown well. It was Bernice Saunders, chief manikin of the establishment. Buzzings and ringings filled the air, I saw a long room around the sides of which were seated many girls. It was a telephone office and the head operator was Margaret Jones. I saw the interior of a public building — the library. Seated at her desk was the reference librarian, but she was not doing research for anyone. She was reading the latest novel and letting those who searched for books, wait. She was our old friend, Theo Nix. Walking down the streets in Miami, Florida, I saw Thomas Wright, a noted philanthropist. With him walked his sec- retary, Hiawatha Davis. Frances Walker owned a very select shoppe in St. Louis, where she designed gowns for all the best dressed women in the country. How strange ! I saw a room in great disorder and a man down on all fours looking at the rug through a magnify- ing glass. He acted very peculiarly. It was John Maddox. He was a detective,, This was the result of the mystery stories he was always reading. The scene was dim but I saw a small shop or meeting house with a large sign, “Sedate Misses.” It was owned by Rob- erta Ann Huff. The members were : Evelyn Sublett, Christine Simfmons, Ruby Harris, Willa Fennell, Helen Walls, and Maudell Johnson. In this same city I saw a lovely build- ing. I was told it was an asylum. Mary- ann Tyrees was president; David Pierce, secretary, and Dora Whisonant, treas- urer. The nurses were: Hilda Beaty, Mary Louis, Ethel Mullins, Georgia Hol- lins and Bessie Mathis. Now that your anxieties are all at rest, it is only fair to tell you that I learned the crystal ball was a large door knob with pictures of my classmates. Of course, that will not affect the accuracy of its prophecy at all but I thought you might like to know. So there! They Also Ran The queen has two lovely attendants, in the persons of Miss Dora Whisonant and Miss Georgia Hollins, who took first and second place, respectively. Hiss Whisonant is a member of Miss Smothers’ advisory group while Miss Hollins is attached to Mr. Jeffress’ group. T171 Gif tonian Comes the time of parting! Gee, that gives me a kind o’ funny feeling — as if I were laughing and crying simultane- ously. Here are a few gifts I would like to distribute among my friends. I hope these tokens will be found useful to them and that they will accept them in the good spirit in which they are given. To Kathryn Benton and Sudie Brooks, I give a bucket of lip-stick, although I know it will last only a few days. To A. V. Monroe, I give a badge to re- mind him of his helpfulness to the Stu- dent Council Court. Something to make Venus Lee’s and Dorothy Williams’ soft voices audible? A loud-speaker is just the thing. To Marion Foote, Vera McCoy and Mary Jane Lewis, I give a reducing ma- chine for fat people only. Imagine! Here’s a box of height reducing pills for Robert Ann Huff and Evelyn Sub- lett. To Monteal Davis, I give Everett Wil- liams for keeps along with a job, for she’ll need it. To Richard Pullum, I give the middle- weight championship title. To Dorothy Miller, I present a pent- house in Harlem so she can quit speak- ing of owning one. To Willa Silvers, I give a hot-dog stand so she can stop “charming” the frankfurters at the school cafeteria. For Mr. Howell, his second semester, American Government class has written a book using his favorite expression, You Will Stop This Braying, as the title. To Louise Johnson and Ruth Adams, I give the right to argue whenever and wherever they please. Here’s a basketball for “Tango” Har- ris. Now he may practice to his heart’s c ontent. To William Harmon and Hariette Bris- coe, I give a miniature library, so they may read all of the best sellers. To Sidney Tullis, I give a Remington typewriter so folks won’t have to strain their eyes deciphering his hand writing. To Irene Whitley, Edilene Grissom, Frieda Roye, Nadine Thomas and Helen Walls, go the honor of being the popu- larity belles of ’36. To Harold Tyler, I give Fay Richard- son wrapped up like a yuletide gift and tied with silver strings. To Rhoda Scott, Fryne Coleman, Thel- ma Wright, Madeline Gaines, Georgia Hollins, Margaret Floyd, Dora Whison- ant and Hilda Beatty, I give a fully equipped gymnasium so they can indulge in baseball and basketball as much as they like. Mr. Bluford’s chemistry class presents to him a fountain pen because his has just about worn out from beating for or- der with it. To Eunice Weaver, I give the honor of being the most studious girl of the Se- nior class. To Miss Spurlock, I give this book, Sweetness, and I hope she will remain kind and sympathetic. Joe Louis’ place in the heivy weight di- vision of the fistic world — this will I give to Charles Neaves. To Mary Ann, Tyrees, I present Bluff- ing My Way Thro’ Government by Goffy. To William, Stevenson, Herbert Wash- ington and Hollie Linder, I give the dra- matic success of Leslie Howard, Paul Muni and Joe Penner. To Miss Smothers, I give a “Lit.” class that knows something about English Y. To the fifteen pupils of this year’s journalism class, I give silver pins with the words LINCOLNITE STAFF printed upon them. In this way we might recap- ture happy memories of that model class. Because of his melodious voice I give William Kyle a place in one of the na- tion’s leading choruses. To Christine Simmons, Lida Sprawley and Octavia Starnes, I give a modiste shoppe. Then they can sew to their greatest pleasure. In order that they may pursue their course in art, to Frederick Cooley, Mar- garet Hopkins and George White, I give a tuition to any art institute which they want to attend. To Ruby Brown, I give the privilege of imitating Gracie Allen to earn her bread and butter. Here are a pair of boxing gloves for Robert Nix. Now he may forever punch the speed bag in a fashion of his very own. Isn’t there something in the left glove? Well, if it isn’t Leotine Blakely! Yes, you may, also, have her.

The most outstanding activities included tne Inter-racial work at the Main branch of the Y. M. C. A., the annual Mother- Daughter reception, the work of the Girl Reserve Glee Club, under the care- ful supervision of Mrs. Dollie Brown Cave, and the Farewell Tea narty at which the Senior Girl Reserves were the hostesses to all of the girls of the Jun- ior Class. The members of the Glee Club: Ruby Harris, Hazel Royal, Dora Whisonant, LaVaria Howell, Dorothy Williams, Thelma Wright, Geraldine Smith, Willa Silvers, Mary Lewis, Rhoda Scott, Ber- nice Sanders and Mae Della Alexander. The form of the Girl Reserve meetings has changed, considerably, from the reg- ular form. The Juniors havp meet- ings with the Seniors once each month. The next two weeks are spent in inter- est groups with the Freshmen and So- phomores. The last week, all of the Girl Reserves meet together and discuss the accomplishments of their particular clubs. Evelyn Sublett is president of the entire group of Girl Reserves. The officers of the Senior Group are: Dora Whisonant, chairman; Mae Della Alexander, vice-chairman : LaVaria How- ell, secretary; Ruby Harris, treasurer.

Its purpose is to observe and discuss psychological facts and happenings about the school. The most outstanding acti- vity during the year was the psychological ex- periment conducted by the club on the pupils of Lincoln High School. The results w ere tab- ulated and discussed by the members of the club and then presented to the teacher’s study club for their approval by Mr. John Jones and LaVaria Howell. The officers of the club in- clude: John Jones, president; Bessie Mathis, vice-president; Winona Carlock, secretary; Thelma Sanders, assistant secretary; Harold Mezile, treasurer; Amos Gibbs, critic; Eunice Weaver, chairman of program committee.

Mr. Griffin is the adviser. Trigonometry Club The “Trig Tribe” was the former Trigono- metry class under the direction of Mr. J. A. Jeffress. In order to continue the study of higher mathematics throughout the remaining half of the year the class formed a club known as the “Trig Tribe.” The most outstanding activities of the year include the farewell party given by the class and the gigantic mathematical exhibition de- picting the development and significance of higher mathematics. In order to make the club more interesting all the “members of the Tribe” have trigono- metrical names, which are: Harriette Bris- coe, Interpolation; Georgia Hollins, Mantissa; LaVaria Howell, Sexigesimal; Victor Travis, Formula; James Sason, “Pi”; Fryne Coleman, Infinity; Eunice Weaver, Constant; Cullen Hodge, Contazent; John Jones, Sine; Ella Matthews, Quadrant; Dora Whisonant, Char- acteristic, and Thomas Marshall, Radian.

[ 21 ] ROT.C The R. O. T. C. Department Is Instru- mental in Building Sterling Character The R. 0. T. C. unit of Lincoln High School consists of one hundred and eigh- ty-nine cadets and thirteen cadet offi- cers. The first of the year the battalion paraded to the dedication of the new Lincoln High School. The cadets also took a part in the Armistice Day parade. A firing squad fired salutes Memorial Day, in honor of the unknown soldier. The service was sponsored by the V. F. W. The cadet officers participated in the first annual fashion show presented in the new Municipal Auditorium. The battalion was inspected by the R. 0. T. C. inspector on Thursday, May 7. The appointments made by Sergeant William Banks follows: ' The honor of cadet major was bestowed upon Cadet Captain William Stevenson; Cadet Ad- jutant, William Palmer; Cadet Captains, Cullen Hodge, Howard Wilkins, and James Miller; David Pierce, Lawrence Mayfield, Maynard Kelton, Walter Agi ns, Edg-ar Love and Ernest Ander- son. Trade Club These boys have done outstanding ' vocational work in three of the departments in Lincoln High School. Those who completed work in the gas engine department were Edward Avery, Bernard McGary, Albert Giles, Clifton Hoard, Leroy Jakes. John Owsley was interested in car- pentry; consequently, he finished in carpentry, while Richard Allen completed his work in masonry. [ 22 ] Student Council EUNICE WEAVER President In the annual election of the president of the Student Council. Ozella Grissom, the junior candidate, emerged victorious over Eunice Weaver, the senior candi- date. Miss Weaver moved in as perma- nent president because of a serious ill- ness contracted by Miss Grissom. This illness prevented Miss Grissom’s return- ing to school. The council consists of one member from each freshman and sophomore advisory and two members each from the junior and senior groups. The activities of the council are con- ducted by departments, each department having a chairman chosen from the per- sonnel of the council and a faculty ad- viser. The department of recre ation has . as ifo chairjna n. Irene W hitley and Mr. Jef Press as iaculty adviser. Ja the de- partment of justice, Cullen Hodge is chairman and Mr. Griffin adviser; de- partment of research, Ella Mathews, chairman, Mr. Mayberrv, adviser; de- partment of foreign relations, Bernice Sanders, chairman, Mr. Dunlap, adviser; department of awards, John Smith, chairman, Miss Nolan, adviser; and de- partment of safety, William Stevenson, chairman, and Mr. Carroll, adviser. Two noteworthy accomplishments of this year are a revision of the old con- stitution printed in 1928, and the writ- ing of a booklet, “The Ideal President,” by Eunice Weaver. OFFICERS President EUNICE WEAVER Secretary DOROTHY MINOR Treasurer JO ANNA YOUNG Sergeant-at-Arms C ULLEN HODGE CLASS SONG OF ’36 ’Tis Oh, so hard to part when friends we’ve made grow dear But now the time has come when we from Lincoln part. So we loyal Lincolnites must clear and cheer and cheer. CHORUS May we forever fix in memory Thoughts of dear old Lincoln high. Who taught us as a mother would her child. We avow our thanks to you For showing us the value of far set goals. Now with vain attempts to smile This class of ’36 bids you adieu. Words: MAE D. ALEXANDER, Music: FREDERICK COOLEY. Editorial DON’T STOP, KEEP GOING We, the class of “36,” are being grad- uated from, high school. But was this our goal? Was this our only ambition? No! We must go forward and combat the trials of life. Graduation was ONE of our ambitions, but it is just another milestone that we have to overcome on our upward climb to the top of the lad- der of success. We must strive more than ever now for the higher assets of life, for those character builders that make us trong in every respect. Our work has just begun. Remember, Loyal Lincolnites, “Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part, there all the honor lies” Forward! March! Class of ’36. Four years of minor disappointments, but balanced with four years of over- whelming joys. This sums up the four years that we seniors have spent at Lincoln High School. We started out as freshmen. Lincoln High School was one of our goals. It has been reached. But after we reached Lin- coln High School, we were a little uncer- tain and nervous in our strange sur- roundings. During the sophomore year our uncer- tainty began to leave us, we began to feel as if we were at home and to know what loyalty was, and to develop cour- age. We also made friends that were to be with us during our junior and senior years. Then came the junior year, the year when we began to think that the lower classmen should have a better opinion of us. Our studies became harder and there were more social activities which we could attend. After three years of trying to reach the goal we finally made the senior class. Of course, there were a few of our friends that had dropped from the class, and then as the time came ne ar for grad- uating there was not so much joy be- cause we would miss the building after we left and the many teachers who had helped us on our way. But What a thrill at graduation! ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Lincolnite Staff of 1936 is truly grateful for the assistance of our principal and faculty and for the support of our readers and friends. We appreciate the fatherly guidance of our beloved principal, Mr. H. 0. Cook. To the faculty, for their untiring efforts to broaden our knowledge, we could never give thanks enough; and to the readers and friends who gave us support when we needed it most, we do express our deep gratitude for your encouragement. MAE DELLA ALEXANDER, Editor-in-Chief. Reflections If with one message I may impart Fresh hope to some fast fainting heart It would be this — 0 classmate, O friend, This day of rejoicing is not the end, We may be twisted by the cruel hand of fate — But no matter what happens, be strong and wait. Clouds may hang darkly over your head, And your feet once light become heavy as lead, But presently those clouds will disap- pear Sweet music ring heavenly in your ear A sunbeam will point the way to go — How will I know? For I have stood beneath a threatening cloud, Looming dismally as from a shroud, And always a ray has broken through, And shown me the urgent thing to do. And so success like a golden cup Awaits the person who keeps his chin up. EUNICE WEAVER. VICTORY We were tried and found true; we stood the test; ’Neath whirlwinds of doubt when all the rest Crouched down and submitted, we fought best. There are wounds on our breasts that can never be healed, There are gashes that bleed and may not be sealed, But, wounded and gashed, we won the field. And others may dream in their easy chairs, And point their soft hands to the scares we bear; But the laurels are ours — not theirs!

We hope our dear teachers have no cause to regret That the good advice they have given us, we chance to forget, For we are now just beginning our lives to live And we hope to the world our best to to give. Many times our teachers have been fretted and vexed And over many problems we have been perplexed. But our days spent in Lincoln Have been a source of much pleasure And they will remain in our memory as a valued treasure. RUTH E. PATTERSON. FAREWELL LINCOLN Dear Old Lincoln High Is the school young people adore; We hate to leave it Because we love it more and more. When we were freshmen And on up through the years, We decided to stop at Lincoln Until we grew beards. We love the teachers and the principal, Mr. Hugh Ollie Cook; Whose picture is always seen In the front of this book. And now it is time for us To say good bye, to Our friends, who have been So loyal and true. But in the end We all shall meet In the gorgeous heavens Where angels are fresh and sweet. ROBERTANN HUFF. GOODBYE, LINCOLN HIGH We, the class of ’36, for the last four years Have surmounted many milestones with bitter tears; Our leaving fills us with deep sorrow But, we smile again when we look to- ward tomorrow. In every condition we’ve stuck together Through sunshine and through cloudy weather; We saw in the distance a far set goal And worked in earnest, heart, mind, body and soul. We thank you kind Principal and teach- ears, too, For advice and theories we’ve learned through you, May rrovidence forever keep you up high. Now, the class of ’36, bids you goodbye, dear Lincoln High. MAE D.

C. boys rise from positions of privates to com- missioned official positions. The honor, that year, was bestowed upon Cullen Hodge, Ella Matthews, Vic- tor Travis, Eunice Weaver, Mae Della Alexander, Henriette Briscoe, and Mild- red Brummel. I never saw so much pride exhibited as when Mae Della Alexander, Fryne Coleman, Eunice Weaver, Ella Matthews, and Mildred Brummel entered the National Honor Society. They were a dutiful class. That year they gave a marvelous reception. The class officers were: Mae Della Alex- ander, president; Herbert Washington, vice-president, and Bernice Saunders, secretary, they worked very diligently to put the grand event over. It was the grandest event of the whole year. In 1935 there was given an exhibition i f Lincoln High School at its best. Miss Rhodes and Miss Smith trained their Junior girls who showed their best. Those R. 0. T. C. privates of other days were low putting forth their best appearance as officers in a drill that surprised the whole audience. There was no conir plaint; that junior class did its part. The dramatic department was a won- ler! They put forth a junior play that was well worth its production. Hiawa- tha Davis, Herbert Washington, Sudie Brooks, Madolia Massey and William Stevenson played excellent parts. Holhe Linder and Ruby Brown had most effi- cient leads. Seniors, 1035-1936 That last and most glorious year at last arrived. Now I see them as seniors. Cullen Hodge ,as a most ablv proficient classmate, was judge of the student council court while David Pierce and Frederick Cooley were sheriff and as- sistant sheriff, respectively. They looked with honor at such students as Theo Nix, Harriette Briscoe, Mose Davenport, Cullen Hodge, Eunice Weaver, Ella Matthews, Mae Della Alexander and Mildred Brummell, for they were honor students. The R. O. T. C. was a prominent fea- ture. The boys had finally attained their hopes with William Stevenson as Cadet Major, William Palmer as Lieu- tenant Adjutant and the three captains as follows. Cullen Hodge, James Miller, and Howard Wilkins. The monthly Lincolnite staff boasted Mae Della Alexander as its editor-in- chief and Margaret Hopkins as assist- ant editor. They worked rather hard to put forth a monthly edition and suc- ceeded. Those likes and dislikes formed in the sophomore year now began to manifest themselves. A special class in journal- ism was organized. They eventually took the monthly issue of the Lincolnite 3 n their hands. A trigonometry class was organized and resulted in a trigono- metry club. The promise of a new junior college has turned most of their hopes for a college education there. A project to se- cure information for a commencement program was a duty for all of them. Their dignity and pride was increased when they were told that their graduat- ing exercises would be held in the new municipal auditorium. “Say, are you asleep?” he asked. “How in this world did you expect me to go to sleep? I never heard anything so interesting in all my life. It was something to be proud of, indeed!” HARRIETTE J.

Lincoln— one of the most beloved of American presidents — read and studied before the flickering’ light of the open fire- place.

You have available America’s great educational system, and you have modern electric lighting that makes it easiser to study — without strain and effort to read. Close-seeing tasks, such as reading and study demand suf- ficient and proper light. Incorrect lighting places a burden on eyesight that makes restful reading difficult. The I. E. S.

In its 18 years of service to the community, thousands of boys have sold THE CALL and in so doing have learned valuable lessons in salesmanship. Many of these boys have earned their way through school by selling THE CALL. As we look back through the years we can count numbers of success- ful men who once were CALL newsboys and we attribute their suc- cess in part to the lessons in salesmanship and leadership learned while selling this newspaper.
