The new instructor in the music Department, Mr. -Williams, found the students very adaptable to real music. The group has made appearance at assembly programs, and church pro- grams. This so very recently organized useful organization is what every city with youth needs. The Jr. N. A. C. P. has done more than any other organization for our own race. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, proves even the title is worthy of all interest. The new president, Lillie Bryant, has made the success of this organization possible.

The Majorettes were first organized by Mr. Cordell Norman and Miss Novella Jackson. In the first year, they made quite a reputation for themselves. At the end of the year Miss Jackson left Lincoln High to marry. 1941 brought a new sponsor, Miss Guinivere Guy, who has worked with Mr. Norman. In the future years Majorettes of Lincoln High will continue to be successful. — By a Majorette, Carmen Robinson. Lincoln High School ' s instrumental music began branching out with the organization of the band and the orches- tra under the direction of Mr. Smith. The assembly programs were lifted to a higher standard with the music by the orchestra. A group of both boys and girls playing the various instru- ments, added a tremendous variety to the appearance as well as a new synco- pation to their music. The Students have sincerely enjoyed Lincoln High School ' s Orchestra and Band. R. O. T. C. training offers many advantages to a boy of today. Sergeant Banks has taken advantage of this by training every R. O. T. C. private and officer to perfection. Keith Pittman, as major, has successfully mastered the military tactics so important when Pur country is at a crisis. Page Twenty-three
