QTUSQ ODE TO LINCOLN HIGH In short lament or dirge I say Four long years I have toiled for thee To approach the throng on promotion day A world of knowledge confronting me. I have borne you through thick and thin; ' Tis true I grew tired along the way, But knowing a reward was at the end I trod through the hours of each day. To you I came for a solid base To place me for a future bright, And as I stand here face to face I ' ll swear you ' ve done what ' s right. I must go now and get my robe, My board, and it awaits for me. This poem to some is a Morse Code But to the wise, it ' s thanks to Thee. — James Campbell. HATS OFF TO LINCOLN Hats off to Lincoln, Is the song we have sung And the memory of its melody Will last for years to come. Hats off to Lincoln, We seniors must go; Don ' t think we want to leave, But we really must, you know. Hats off to Lincoln, Seems the only thing to do, So take your opportunity now Juniors, For your time is coming, too. — Carmen Robinson. SO LONG L. H. S„ SO LONG So long L. H. S., so long, The time has come and we are gone, We ' ve had our thrill upon this hill, But the time has come, so long. So long, to those high school days, To those hours we have slaved To keep the stride to save our hide, So long L. H. S., so long. You ' ve made our life so gay, We ' ve had some time to play, Each day we prayed for this great day, So we could say, so long. So long to the ringing of bells, To the horrible Chemistry room smells; So long to the beautiful walls, To those long concrete halls. We say so long, and not goodbye, For if we did, we ' d almost die; We ' ll be lonesome when we ' re gone, But yet it ' s time to say so long. — Edward Carruth. GOODBYE Through days of joy or years of pain, To serve thee e ' er will be our aim; And when we say our last goodbye; We ' ll always love Dear Lincoln High. —Floyd Hill. FAREWELL DEAR -LINCOLN! ! Farewell, dear Lincoln, we are leaving you, It ' s due to your help that we so do, This class of ' 41 leaves you with a sigh But with memories of dear Lincoln High. In Memory of Mr. Cook, Among the finest type of gents; When you need lunch money, He ' ll lend you fifteen cents. In Memory of Mr. Ellison, A teacher very bright; Meant for what he stood for And stood for what is right. In Memory of Miss Brydie, As cheerful as a bird, Whenever she would greet you, She ' d say a cheerful word. In Memory of all our teachers Who struggle with us through pain To help us win this victory To develop a higher name. So Good Bye, dear old Lincoln Our eyes are full of tears, Our hearts are over burdened To have to part this year. — Irene Martin. SONG OF A DREAMER Oh, I love to lie in the shade of a tree With a rippling stream close by, And dream of the things I ' m going to be And do before I die. First a poem I ' ll write of nature sublime And in oils I ' ll paint this tree; Not today, of course, but in a short time When the urge will come to me. There ' s a symphony, now running through my mind, And a plot for a novel that ' s new, I ' ll be hailed as the century ' s greatest find. Yes, I ' ve plenty of work to do! But day after day I ' ll come and lie In the shade of this old Willow Tree, And I ' ll dream and I ' ll pl ow the hours by, While the stream just laughs at me. But years roll by, I ' ll be an old man. With none of my dreams come true, For it ' s so much nicer to lie and plan, Than to get up and ' go and do. — Paul Gray. STUDENTS I WARN YOU: Don ' t ditch school and be in fights; Don ' t participate in things that aren ' t right. Come to school and stay in sight, Learn to be a loyal Lincolnite. To go to school is a wonderful thing, For at promotion time you will have a class ring. And if you don ' t get a ring, it won ' t be a sin, For you will still have that old class pin. When you graduate, don ' t quit school, For you will only be some person ' s tool. Go to college and get further education, Then you will not be on the road of starvation. If you can ' t go to college, Then take up a trade;. If you don ' t, Out of this world you will gradually fade. — losie Silvers, Class of ' 41 Page Twenty-six
