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.”

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.
