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.
