O Lincoln High! Though from thy guiding hands we stray The memories to cheer the way O Lincoln High! O Lincoln High!” For four years we have worked and striven to this beloved school song. We are faced with a number of conflicting emotions as we think of this song. We look back on our eventful years, and look forward to our future. We began our march into battle carrying our banners high and have emerged victorious with our leader, Mr. Cook, and his efficient assistants. When we first entered Lincoln High in September, 1935, we were 729 strong, eager and ready to fight until the finish. By the end of the year, Hildred Tollett, Margaret Graves, Leonard Huff, Dorothy Minor, Geraldine Whisonant, and Corinne James stood out as members of the honor roll. We left for our vacations in June, 1936, full of inspiration and joy following our first year in high school. In September, 1936, we advanced further with 421 students still eager to carry on the fight. We were then able to realize the dreams of students for many years. We entered our new school! The “City Upon the Hill” was now a reality instead of a dream. This year Geraldine Whisonant again stood out as a leader and honor student with Jean Oliver making her debut on the honor roll. We ended our second year in June, 1937, wondering if ever there could be a more enjoyable way of getting an education! By September, 1937, we had been reduced to 249, but we bravely fought on. We were victorious in winning the Student Council election with Geraldine Whisonant as president. She was also the Junior Class president. The Junior play, “Headed for Eden,” was a great success. We entertained the Seniors with a reception in our own gymnasium. This was a very successful and picturesque affair. This year Dorothy Minor, Jean Oliver, Adelaide Wilcox, Beatrice Tur- ner, and Ellsworth Hill were our honor students. These and others were also elected to the National Honor Society. September, 1938! Our last year of high school lay just ahead of us. We were now only 194 strong. Claudell White took over the presidency to the Student Council as successor to Eugenia Stewart. Dorothy Walton did an excellent job of president of the Senior Class with Ellsworth Hill, Vice-President; Beatrice Turner, Secretary; Jean Oliver, Assistant Secretary; Eddie Lee Haney, Treasurer; Julia Hicks, Assistant Treasurer; and Robert Jackson, Sergeant- at-Arms. The Senior play, “Wings of the Morning,” was a wonderful production. Reuben Brown, Jr., took the lead as guest artist in the absence of Morris Washington, who had met with an accident. Others of the cast were Julia Hicks, Lester Frederick, Doris Trotter, Wilbur Hill, Marcella Hogan, Margaret Graves. Basil Moore, Wilma Nard, Hildred Tollett, Margaret Brown, Anna Byers. Carl Fletcher, John Fletcher and Rhoda Everett. Our honor students were Jean Oliver, Margaret Graves, Geraldine Whisonant, Wallulah Ockleberry, Beatrice Turner, Julia Hicks, and Naomi Ruffin. Each senior feels a pang of regret at leaving Lincoln High, where the happiest moments of his life have been spent in the past four years. May the thoughts of dear old Lincoln, its beloved principal and faculty ever inspire us. —Edna Louise Caldwell. JENIDA 5 WALLULAH OCKLEBERRY : 0 ٧ Girl Reserves; Senior Chorus. “Walking dictionary.

Possessing the qualities we all respect and admire, she emerged victorious over her eleven competitors. In so doing she has made an admirable record, one not to be easily forgotten. In future endeavors we feel confident that Miss Turner will excel as has been done in this one. HER ATTENDANTS Miss Turner, who is a member of Miss Wynbush's advisory group, has two lovely attendants who took second and third places, respectively, in the persons of the Misses Julia Hicks and Margaret Graves. Lincoln is proud of her queen. Long may she live. Lincoln also takes pleasure in acknowledging those who also ran. Of them we are also proud. They are: The Misses Colleen Barnett, Georgetta Sayers, Al- berta Cody, Imogene Rathers, Alby Wagner, Johnnie Mae Hayes, Edna Caldwell, and Sarah Ross. FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE ee | Although there was no contest among the Senior boys we present Henry Brown for distinguished service. Through his indi- vidual effort he reported one hundred eight- een subseriptions for the Annual. Truly a “Loyal Lincolnite !” THE STUDENT COUNCIL This year, in the annual election of officers for the Student Council, Miss Eugenia Stewart, the Junior candidate for the office of the presidency, emerged vic- torious over Miss Claudell White, candidate of the Senior class. Later, due to the illness of Miss Stewart, Miss White became president. The Student Council is composed of five departments with a chairman for each department. The departments are as follows: Department of Foreign Rela- tions, with Edna L. Caldwell as chairman and Mr. Bryant as supervisor; Depart- ment of Safety, with Willis Mosely as chairman and Miss Smothers, supervisor; Department of Justice, with Keith Pittman as chairman and Mr. Griffin, super- visor; Department of Recreation, with Mabel Vaughn as chairman and Miss Rhodes, supervisor; Department of Awards, with Leroy Huff as chairman and Miss Spurlock, supervisor. The Department of Recreation has done some very outstanding work. Several socials have been given under the leadership of Miss Vaughn. The Student Council is composed of representatives from every advisory and Is the governing body of the school.

It was they who put over our Junior Play of ?38 and Senior Play of '39. The Junior Play was a 3-act comedy with Morris Washington and Margaret Brown having the leads. They were supported by Earnestine Bush, Anna Byers, Margaret Graves, Wilma Nard, Hildred Tollett, Julia Hicks, Wilburt Hill, Lester Frederick and Leroy Baskerville. We had at last reached our first step in acting which was to give a play which would be well attended. We left school with a feeling that after all we still had a chance to try out our acting ability the next year. We entered into our second year of dramatics looking forward to the Senior Play. In order to be ready for the Senior Play we were given exercises in bodily and vocal expression, monologues and speeches for practice. For the charity drive there were five speakers: Wilburt Hill, Wilma Nard, Doris Trotter, Morris Wash- ington and Julia Hicks. For Negro History week we had a skit which was given over radio station WDAF, Blue Park Methodist Church, and in the school auditorium. The players were Marcella Hogan, Morris Washington, Wilburt Hill, Doris Trotter and Julia Hicks. On our journey we had covered our second step which was to broadcast over the radio. Then the time arrived for the Senior Play. “Wings of the Morning,” a strong 3-act drama of purpose, was chosen for presentation. Parts were given to Morris Washington, Wilburt Hill, Lester Frederick, Basil Moore, Karl Fletcher, John Fletcher, Marcella Hogan, Rhoda Everett, Margaret Graves, Hildred Tollett, Wilma Nard, Margaret Brown, Anna Byers, Doris Trotter, and Julia Hicks. Mor- ris Washington, who was cast in the leading role, met with an unfortunate accident the week before the production. This part was ably taken by Reuben H. Brown, Jr., of the Morrison Players, as guest actor. The performance was a success and we are about to end two most enjoyable years of expression. Jutta Hicks. SENIOR CLASS PLAY “WINGS OF THE MORNING” LIFTUNIAN Before we start the final march, Before we say good-bye, Before we put our books away Or other fields we try; To friends I may not see again, Or friends who won't see me Pd like to give a few small gifts In pleasant memory. —Manlyn V. Hines. Before we pause to say our last farewell, I would like to take a little time to present a few gifts to members of the Senior Class. I wish to leave: Wallulah Ockelberry and Bettye Arnold, an art studio where they may sit all day and draw to their hearts’ content.

EDITORIALS Farewell, Lincoln High School When we think of graduating from Lincoln High School, our hearts are over- run with both happiness and sorrow. We are happy because four more big steps on the ladder of success in our lives have been taken. We feel thankful for all the excellent opportunities that our school has offered us and proud because we took advantage of them and succeeded. We are thankful for our kind, thoughtful teach- ers who did everything within their power to help us overcome the obstacles which lie in the path of success. We appreciate all of this and the many other things that have come to us. We are sorry to be graduating because we will be separated from most of our dear friends. Each will be going his way, some reaching their goal, while the others, although trying hard, will be left behind, and then there will be a few a complete failure. It will truly be sad to witness all this. Then, leaving our beloved teachers, I know what you are thinking when I say this. We may have made many unjust comments about them when they gave long assignments, but when we look back into the past, deep down in our hearts we are thankful for what we have learned and the experiences that we have acquired. We do love our teachers for them no matter how hard the struggle was. So, for these reasons and many, many others, we hate to leave our school. Good-bye, Old Lincoln, we take with us sweet memories that we shall never forget no matter what the future holds for us. CORINNE A. JAMES. ucholarship and Knowledge at Lincoln High There are many things that may be said about scholarship, and there are many more things that may be said about knowledge. One might debate the question whether knowledge is desirable to scholarship. Scholarship, as it is used here, denotes the ability to retain masses of factual data, the ability to make an “E” on an exami- nation and the ability to write the perfect theme. One migh t be able to do all these things perfectly and still be uneducated or without knowledge. Knowledge, as it is used in this connection, means the ability to do all things reasonably well. The student who knows how to speak softly, how to walk gracefully,- respect his fellow man and share with him what he may have, truly has knowledge. Give me a world of people with qualities like the above and I care little whether the student makes the Honor Roll or takes the prize on commencement day. Lincoln High School is attempting to dispense Knowledge. Lincoln High wants to graduate good boys and girls with some knowledge of how to live har- moniously with their fellow men. This should be the goal for which every 20th century school should strive. Lincoln High is a 20th century school. ETHEL HERRIFORD, ’39. THE A CAPPELLA CHOIR The A Cappella Choir, which is under the direction of Mr. Wyatt L. Logan, meets the last two hours of the day. They have taken part in many local and out-of-town performances. They have sung not only in the state but out of the state as well; at high schools, and universities. Some of the places were: Northeast Junior High, in Kansas City, Kan- sas; the University of Kansas City, and Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Mis- souri. They took part in the Music Festival at the Municipal Auditorium. Broad- casts over national hookups were made at different intervals on the following stations: WDAF, KITE, and KCMO. The choir which has been rated for the first time in the history of Lincoln High, participated in the National M. E. Conference. Not only are they interested in church engagements but they have appeared on numerous civic programs. Dur- ing Negro National History week they were on KITE every evening for the entire week. The Lincoln High School A Cappella Choir has received wide recoenition as an excellent group of singers. During the Christmas season Lincoln’s Choir, with other choirs of the city, sang at the annual Christmas Music Festival, which took place at the. Municipal Auditorium. Here again, they commanded recognition, by their singing of Mr. Wyatt L. Logan’s arrangement of “Go Tell it on De Mountain.” SENIOR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB This year as in previous years the Senior Girls’ Glee Club is one of the most outstanding Senior groups. It is composed of twenty young ladies, all of whom are doing their part to make this club outstanding. Most of the girls are members of the Lincoln High School A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Mr. Wyatt L. Logan. The members of the club are: Charline Edwards Cleopal Cooper Virgilene Miller Margaret Davis Beatrice Turner Roberta Hill Jean Oliver Eva Mae Roundtree Edna Louise Caldwell Odell Scott Margaret Graves Dollie Swearington Rosetta La Rue Rhodessa Roberts Margaret Brown Geraldine Whisonant Alby Wagner Helen Redmond Viola Parker Bettye Arnold BOOSTERS CLUB p? “Vea, Tigers! Fight em! Fight ’em These are the words that have characterized the Blue Tiger Booster Club through the four years ending with the class of 39,. The Booster Club this year, under the instruction of Miss Jackson, was re- organized at the beginning of the school term with 50 girls enrolled. They were divided into two groups; one group was to make up the cheers and compose the songs; the other group was to lead the cheers. This arrangement worked out very successfully. On Thanksgiving Day, at the Lincoln-Sumner football game, the Blue Tiger Boosters accompanied the team to its field of contest. This was the first real appearance, an appearance which gave the members of the club the opportunity to show what they were made of and how they really could cheer for their team. The songs and yells under the leadership of Rosie Blair, Mary Weaver, Carroll Tolbert and Dorothy Hawkings were very encouraging to the team. The Boosters not only have given encouragement to the team, but they also have given the school as a whole new ideas for real “school spirit.” During this year the Boosters have given student mixers to help build up their treasury so that they might finish the purchasing of their new uniforms. They made personal appearances in the assembly and developed interest on the part of boys and girls. Now that they have come to the end of their journey, they leave their task to the next class of 1940, hoping that they will do as well as the class of ’39, or better, in keeping up the “school spirit” of Old Lincoln High. DOROTHY HAWKINS, 39. VENTION SPORTS On a bright September morning in 1936, one hundred and twenty-five mara- thon runners lined up in the gym of Lincoln High School to begin their run for four great years of their lives. During the first year many of our contestants were rather shy of taking the swing of the sports, but first year ended with many of our runners getting into shape to break all records of the school. Rolling on around to the second year, our class hit sixteen cylinders only to find the fame of Lincoln High lay in Irvin, Washington, Jefferson, Hill, Basker- ville, Robinson, May, Killingsworth, Appleton, and Haney. These lads carried the speed of the class. At the first call for spring practice, Coach Mason found promis- ing material. Although inexperienced, Washington, Irvin, Hill, and Haney made a great showing. Leaving football practice for the season, Coach Mason blew his whistle for the Blue Tigers to come back for the famous cager loop. The cylinders dropped down to about three of the regular crew of sixteen but the remaining group was striving to place the name of their school all over the sport pages of various papers in the country. These three lads stuck to the terrific pace of their superiors regardless of their chances of making the team; they kept fighting. Those lads were Irvin, Strong, and Haney. As the period of time progressed, the tall, lanky tracksters began getting in condition on the cinders. Although inex- perienced, Washington, Irvin, Hill, Killingsworth, and Haney were sure of win- ning the prizes at stake. Due to the fact that competition was so great, the boys were turned down on account of lack of experience. No other factor is as instrumental in building good character as athletics. Sportsmanship is instilled forever in the mind and physical condition of an athlete. Real men, both mentally and physically, are made in the athletic field. In the third year Coach Mason blew his whistle and the alligators became “hipped to the jive” and began to swing, mowing down all their opponents to the tune of the Mason Swing. Baskerville, Jefferson, Harris, Keene, Killingsworth, Appleton, Baxter, and May composed the line with the four horsemen in the back, consisting of Irvin, Hill, Washington, and Haney. The Tigers were tops with us. TRACK On the spring cinder path column, Captains Washington and Irvin took second place in the state meet in Jefferson City. Those who shared cinders with the boys were Killingsworth, Hill, Stanton, Dale, and Captains Washington and Irvin. FOOTBALL The '39 season of these “jitterbugs” started the season in first year by taking advantage of its victims. The boys went through the season undefeated, untired. and unscared to capture the state championship for the second straight year. BASKETBALL In the re-makings of the closing year we feel safe to say that the games were enjoyed by all of the gang representing the class of 39. May we say to the ones we are leaving behind that if they learn this little motto they will be good sports : For when the Great Scorer comes, To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, But how you played the game. Cracking down on the court, the “hip cats” began to set fire to all the goals because they were still “too hot to handle.” They continued to win and bring home the bacon. The team eyed the state meet in the capital city, only to come home for a runner-up place for the team. The basketeers of the dribble loop session were known as these fakers: John (Fake Em) Green, Lanet (Shot-Gun) Irvin, Floyd (Ho-bo) Hill, Samuel (Bow-Legged) Strong, Othel (Cross-Eyed) Kountz, James (Steeple-Head) Everett, Eddie (Fast-Boy) Haney, and Leonard (Dopey) Thurman; Richard (Marathon) Stanton, Warren (Mackey) Jones, and Mallory (Speed) Walker. [LASS WILL Now that we have reached the parting of the ways, it becomes my duty to take inventory of our many valuable possessions and to bequeath some of them to- those persons who would appreciate them most. To Mr. Cook, our dearly beloved principal, we bequeath this wish of sincerity : that he may remain principal of Lincoln High in order that it might continue to be as wonderful an institution as-1t 1s today. To Mr. Ellison, our most worthy vice-principal and advisor, we will the re- spect and cooperation of the entire student body. To Miss Byrdie, a most understanding and devoted friend to all, we bequeath continued success in encouraging and pushing forward each student in the school. To the Sophomore class, we leave two more glorious years at Lincoln High. To the Junior class, we leave the unrestricted use of the rights of seniority and also the memory of our many victories and triumphs over them. To Irma Lee Smalls, we grant the privilege of being as great a chatterbox as was Mary Jo Weaver. To Laurice Hestle, Elaine Smith leaves her ability of how to catch the boys and keep them. James Kelly honors Leroy Haugh with the secrets of being “Mr. Esquire a REE Th To Dorothy Hoover and Melvyn Humphrey, we wish much success in love and happiness. To Jonathan Booker we will the ability o f becoming a famous Latin teacher within the next ten years. To all biology students, Leroy Baskerville submits his successful scheme on “How to Jive Mr. Bluford.” To Jeanetta Rose and Constance Bell, we leave the permission of being as devoted companions as were Jean Oliver and Bettye Arnold. To Joan Brown, we leave the studiousness of Dorothy Minor. Geraldine Whisonant wishes her gracefulness to be bequeathed to Geneva Slaughter. To Theodore Williams, we place in the library a volume of books entitled “Funny Jokes” so that he may crack his way through high school. To Charline Coulter, we bequeath Virgilene Miller’s ability of being sophis- ticated lady of 39. ; To June Josey is left by his friend, Wesley Triplett, a few brains with which he may struggle through the oncoming year. To Edith Woodard the recipe entitled “How to Have a Pleasant Personality,” is presented by LaVern Riley, which she hopes will be applied. To Willis Mosely we leave the honor of becoming the most intelligent boy of the Senior class, once held by Samuel Ellsworth Hill. To Delores Glass is left the three steps on how to become a flapper, with best wishes from Margaret Graves: first, plenty of makeup; second, flashy clothes ; third, occasional “baby” talk. To Alva Livingston we leave the honor of remaining the highest ranking student in the Junior class. To Frankie Hayes we sincerely wish a pleasant future as Mrs. George White. To Elijah Downing we will the honor of becoming the most popular boy of the Junior class of 40. To Barbara Pullam we leave enough money to finance a trip to the New York World's Fair, hoping she will realize all her dreams of this place. To Clyde Newton and Paul Luther we leave the fondest hopes that they become R. O. T. C. captains as are Robert Jackson and Othel Kountz. To Ethel Bowie we will the right to shuffle her feet along the halls of L. H. S. for the coming two years. To Dorothy Williams is bequeathed the leadership of Dorothy Walton. Now that our journey through the land of L. H. S. has reached an end and our most valuable possessions have been distributed among you, we say, farewell, wishing EVERY student a more prosperous oncoming year. BEATRICE TURNER, Class 39. H. 0. T. C. THE RO. TC. DEPARTMENT 15 INSTRUMENTAL: IN--BUILDING STERLING CHARACTER The Lincoln High School Battalion consists of one hundred and thirty-seven Cadets, and fourteen Cadet Officers. It has had bestowed upon it an Honor Rating for the present year. This battalion is the first and only Negro R. O. T. C. Unit in the United States to receive such an honor. The battalion has participated in many functions of the school and the city. Some of the most outstanding performances were the Jubilesta Parade, the annual Armistice Day Parade, the annual R. O. T. C. Inspection, and the R. O. T. C. Field Day. The Battalion also gave a Military Demonstration of a military day. Many of the Cadets placed applications for the Citizen Military Training Camp at Fort Riley, Kansas. This camp will convene in August. _ The following appointments were made after careful study by our instructor, Staff Sergeant William Banks: Cadet Major, Eddie Lee Haney; Captains, Company A, Othel Kountz; Com- pany B, Robert Jackson; Company C, S. Ellsworth Hill; Company D, Leonard Huff. First Lieutenants, William Killingsworth, Clyde Newton; Adjutant, John Hooks. Second Lieutenants, Wilbur Robinson, John Fletcher, Charles Saunders, Paul Luther, Ray Carlock and Fred Travis. S. ELLSworTH HILL, THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves are junior members of the Y. W. C. A. This organization was established for the purpose of affording some wholesome recreation for young girls. There are about seventy-five members in the Senior Girl Reserve Club; about twenty-five are Seniors. The Senior officers of the club are Daisy Stiles, president; Helen Sims, secretary ; Hildred Tollett, program chairman; Oakereader King, social chairman, and Emma Wiggins, cooperative social chairman. The purpose of the club is “To Find and Give the Best.” We have attempted to carry out this purpose in our many relationship conferences with other Girl Reserves of the state. The symbol of the club, the triangle within a circle, repre- sents a Girl Reserve and her relationships with the world. The Girl Reserves also seek to perform services for others. Every Girl Reserve is pledged to be always ready for service. Some of the activities in which the Girl Reserves have participated and spon- sored are: An Interracial Tea, a Conference in St. Joseph, contributions to the Big Sisters Home, a Little Sister Party, a Petticoat Prom, and entertainment for the Hi-Y boys, the Mother and Daughter banquet, and a puppet show. THE LINCULN HI-Y CLUB The Lincoln Hi-Y Club has been engaged in many activities and entertain- ments during the past school year. In order to raise money for the club to establish a more desirable boys” depart- ment in the Y. M. C. A., several benefits have been promoted which were very successful. Several joint meetings with other Hi-Y clubs have been held. Most interest- ing of these were the meeting with the Northeast group, the Cosmopolitan Dinner at the Southeast Presbyterian Church and the Camp Washata meeting. Other activities to be indulged in before the end of the year include the annual Father-Son Banquet and the possible sending of a delegation to Boys’ Town, Nebraska. The Hi-Y activities are under the direction of Boys’ Work Department of the Paseo Branch of the Y. M. C. A. with the aid of two members of-the faculty as sponsors. Poetru RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS To be content from day to day, With whatsoever should come my way, To smile and sing when things go Wrong, Putting serious thought before my song. To do a good deed every hour, Inspiring sunbeams, instead of show- ërs, And in all things to do my best, Is my short recipe for happiness. —Marilyn V. Hines. CHEM I’m through with Chem, both one and two. The E's I made were all too few. I struggled with the lousy stuff Until my brain was just a fluff. My Prof. in Chem was such a prince, I know my dumbness made him wince ; But on he taught and drew and pled, Until one day he finally said: “My dear young girl, you are so dull, I do believe your mind is full Of other things of lighter trend, So chemistry we will suspend. “When you complete your giddy fling, Then to my office you may bring Your books and brain and settled mind And leave frivolity behind.” I took his counsel right to heart And studied hard and long, And now today as I depart I sing a farewell song. I thank my Prof. so gratefully For the wise advice he gave to me But for his interest I would be A failing Senior, minus glee. —Ethel Herriford. A VIGOROUS MORRIS It seemed mighty rocky for the Lincoln Tigers that day, The score stood six to seven with just two minutes left to play, And when Ervin dropped the ball and Reed did the same, Misery wreathed the patrons who watched the boresome game. A straggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest, With the hope that lies eternal within the human breast, For they thought if Morris could only get to play, That he would win the classic of the homecoming day. But Lafayette preceded Morris, to the wonderment of all, And they passed and gained a little, but still the patrons called, “Morris! We want Morris!” Oh! why does Mr. Mason hold The one and only player who could score a winning goal ? And when Morris was sent in, up went a joyous yell, It sounded in the sky and rattled in the dell. It sounded on the hillside, it sounded on the plain, For Morris, Mighty Morris, was sent into the game. And when Morris took his place and was calling for the ball, Silence was among the patrons, as Morris took a fall. With a smile of Christian charity, Morris’ visage shone And he whispered to his mates, as the game went on and on. And when Morris saw that only a sec- ond was left to play, He called for a pass, which was his only way. Again calling signals as the team made his way clear, But Morris was so enthusiastic, that the signals he did not hear. Somewhere in this favored land, the sun is shining bright, And other schools are playing and somewhere hearts are light. Somewhere boys are laughing and somewhere children fall, But there’s no joy at Lincoln, for Mor- ris Washington missed the ball. —Elmer Harris. JENSE AND NUNSENSE THESE QUESTIONS HAVE CAUSED NEAR INSANITY AMONG THE TEACH ERS 1. Can T pass? 2. I lost my admit, may I get an- other one? 3. Shall this be in ink or pencil? 4. Is this to be written out? 5. May I sit with Jean? 6. Shouldn’t I get a better 6 than him? 7. Will you repeat the question? 8. What did you say the lesson was ? 9. Must we write on both sides of the paper ? 10. May I hand mine in Monday? DOROTHY JANICE WALKER. WHAT'S THE USE? If you do not have school spirit, the Lincolnite calls you names. If you do some say you're trying to show off. If you do buy an A. T., you have to do without your lunch for a month. If you don’t buy an Activities Ticket, the A. Association will go broke. If you don’t go out for football, you are a slacker. If you do go out for it, you get your nose broken and “F” as well. If you hang around the girls, you are “molly coddle.” If you leave them alone, you are a “rough neck” and a “low brow.” If you pass in all your work, some say you have a “pull.” If you flunk out, you’re a “feeble wit.” So, what’s the use? “How old is Miss Byrdie ?” “Quite old—I heard she taught Caesar.” Mr. Morrison: “Run up the curtain, Lester: Lester: “What do you think T am, a squirrel ?” —From 25 Edition. Natural Mistake From an examination paper: “Mo- hammedans take several wives. This practice is called “polygamy.” Chris- tians may have only one wife; this is called “monotony.” Teacher: “Smoking, hey ?” Boy: “No, Camels.” Be Nonchalant When— Searching for needles in a portable phonograph. Tying a bow tie. Accepting a collect telegram. Hunting for a blotter. Changing razor blades. Reading a timetable. Cashing a personal check. The man who invented the white stripe in the middle of the road has been given a medal. We understand the committee is now searching for the fellow who stays on his side of it. WHEN Will Mr. Mayberry stop giving three column charts ? Will Mr. Dunlap stop exaggerating? Will Samuel Ellsworth Hill stop carrying his trunk to class? Will Virgilene Miller stop “igging” the public? Will Mr. Lynk stop saying, “Miss Byers, Please ?” Will Leonard Huff stop blushing? Will Margaret Graves’ sailor boy come home? Will Georgia Robinson gain a few pounds ? Will John Hobbs add a few feet to his height? Will we speak of Charming Odell Scott and Eva Mae Roundtree ? Will Bettye Arnold learn to make lemonade ? Will Daniel Robinson stop growing taller? Will Anna Byers become quiet and sophisticated ? Will Robert William Jackson stop being so popular with the ladies? Farewell A NEW TROPHY The Doctor Howard M. Smith Me- morial Cup will be added to Lincoln's trophies this year. It will be given to the youth who has excelled in athletics and deportment. Dr. Smith was a star runner for the University of Pennsylvania from 1904 to 1907. THE- PARTING The time is drawing near When we must part, And though it hurts my heart, Lincoln dear, we must. Four years you've sheltered us— Kept us from despair, And taught us to avoid the tempter’s lair: So now we go the world to see. But always before us there will be, The memory of you, dear Lincoln. —Wallulah Ockleberry. GREENNESS THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL Lincoln High is the school that stands on the hill, Where all the students try to practice good will. We all wish to do the best we can To make our school the best in the land. We Seniors are sorry from the bottom of our hearts That from a school like Lincoln High we must depart. But Pm sure Lincoln High will con- tinue to be Always in the hearts of you and of me. — Edith Carter, 39. Oh, the leanness of the Senior when he's lean, And the meanness of the Junior when he's mean, But the leanness of the lean And the meanness of the mean Aren't in it with the greenness of the Freshman When he’s green. —Submitted by Louise Brockington IN MEMORIAM Today’s most trivial act may hold the seed Of future fruitfulness, or future death— O, cherish always every word and deed! The simplest record of thyself hath worth. —Timrod. ELIZABETH. BERRY EMZIE STRONG FREDERICK MALONE ORLANDO. GARRETT WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF Electricity The marvels of electricity a half century ago were little known. Perhaps in a few years future generations will be saying that about 1939. But these new developments will only come with the welding of long range planning, research, large monetary ex- penditures and skilled man power into one closely knit unit. The wise expendi- ture of labor, time and money has en- abled this Company to meet the de- mands of this growing community for electric energy and the building of an adequate reservoir for future growth. This is shown by the present capital in- vestment of approximately ninety-seven million dollars and the employment of more than two thousand skilled em- ployees. Research is constantly going on to in- crease the efficiency and to extend the helpfulness of electricity in all phases of life. And because of this desire and readi- ness of investor owned electric service companies to delve into the unknown, electricity is helping increase the span of life, reduce human drudgery and make living more worth while. hANSAS CITY POWER LIGHT 1 ND MAYO TINED O سل‎ Victor 3804 For 20 years The Call has stood as a vigilant guardian of the rights of Kansas City's colored population.
