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

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
