The multitude was from the local ward schools with many from other schools. With Mr. Cook as our conductor and our teachers as our guides, we shoved off for the first station, the “Freshman Goal ' Our achievements for the first lap of our journey were not as colorful as they might have been. However, some of our outstanding students in academic work were Jeremiah Cameron, Anna Barton, Norma Brown, Ozella Grissom, Loretta Miller, Mary L. Starling, and Beatrice Lee. Soon our conductor came and warned us of our first stop — “The Freshman Goal.” We then boarded the train for rhe second lap of our journey. This time our passenger list had decreased to four hundred four, a drop of three hundred fifty-two. For various reasons they turned back ; some because of their health, some economically crippled, some transferred to other schools, and others for lack or courage. For the second year, we made an addition to our list of achieve- ments. For the honor roll, we had Ozella Grissom, Janet Warrick, Jeremiah Cam- eron, John Smith, Beatrice Lee, Bernice Knox, Rosetta May, Norma Brown, Mary Jane Green, and Anna Barton. Harold Tyler and Herman Walker were beginning to be popular in athletics. Again our conductor warned us, but this time to the “Sophomore Goal.” After looking over the country side, we entered the third lap of our journey. Again our passenger list had decreased one hundred forty-five. There were two hundred and fifty-nine loyal Lincolnites to continue the journey. We organ- ized our group with Norma Brown as president; Norma Brashears, secretary; Harold Tyler and Herman Walker were outstanding in athletics. The honor roll carried the names of Zora Franklin, Lavenia Powell, Mary Jane Green, Anna Barton, Gwenden Mitchell, Norma Brown, Jeremiah Cameron, Cecil Chase, John Smith, Marshall Love, Rosetta May and Clyde Williams. Ozella Grissom attained the heights of president of the student council. In the R. O. T. C. department, Franklin Pierce and Eugene Agins made honorable progress. Our conductor again came in to warn us of the “Junior Goal,” the last stop before the finish. All aboard for the final lap. Oh, we were off for “Senior Goal.” We had two hundred and thirty-five of our former two hundred fifty-nine passengers. The final trips had more in store for us, but we had to work harder. The honor roll for the outstanding students had the names of Anna Barton, Jeremiah Cameron, Ozella Grissom, Rosetta May, Zora Franklin, Betty Cowan, Frances Hughes, Dorothy Agins, Earl Brown, Margaret Davis, and Joanna Young. Mary Jane Green led the student council by attaining the rank of presi- dent. And again, Norma Brown was president of the Senior Class. The R. O. T. C. officers’ staff was headed by Fred Banks, as Major; Orville Allison, Charles Allen, Eugene Agins and Claude. Williams were Captains; Eg- bert Mayfield, Robert Wheeler, Franklin Pierce, Thomas Miller, Harry Howard, George Kimble, Theodore Bagby, Frank Haugh and Marshall Love were Lieuten- ants. The athletic department had such an outstanding figure as Harold Tyler. Now, my friends, we are at the end of our journey through Lincoln High. We can- not thank our conductor and our guides too much for such an enjoyable trip. Now that we are at the turning point in our lives, many of us will travel further on the train of knowledge, while others will not be so fortunate. So, may I wish you, one and all, a continued journey. Thomas Miller.
