Barbara Pullam Dedicated to Mr. Cook and the faculty who so tirelessly gave their all to prepare us for life. The Staff. tyosiewxpiA Because of the present world crisis, The 1942 Lincolnian has chosen as its theme, “Patriotism.” In the year book, we have tried to incorporate the activi- ties and literary efforts of the graduat- ing Seniors. May this book serve as a memorial to the class of ’42, and to parents, and friends interested in their well being. II (I (I [I III L l U || Xb Tb 4 I I I i Top Row: Mr. William D.

Oh, here ' s a letter from Kaye. She says she saw, in the paper, that I was the demonstrator for the foods show. Why, she is married, and has a family and desires information, from me, concerning nutrition for her family. I ' m so glad to hear from her. I recall that back in grade school we were both on the ball team, and to think now we ' re both married and have families. Kaye and I remained the best of friends in high school. My how years pass. I remember those years as though they were only yesterday. In 1939, we came from Junior High, still a bit timid, but a little broken in from our freshman year. There were more than two hundred of us. We met in the assembly and were instructed to go to certain rooms in order to receive our programs. The halls seemed long, the ceilings high, and the rooms wide as we scampered down the halls. It was not difficult at all to overhear some Senior talking about how juvenile we were. Once one told us we needed something with three corners. 1 wonder what she meant! Our subjects became a little more difficult than at Junior High, and we had to study a little harder. You ' d be surprised, though, at how many were on the honor roll. The year passed swiftly; soon we were Juniors. As was the custom at Lincoln, our class was or- ganized. We gave John Gipson the honor of bear- ing our burdens for us as President. We also be- came affiliated with the Student Council, electing William Dancy head of this organization. Some of the boys who were outstanding in the Junior plays were: Monroe Gilmore, Elbert Caldwell, David Warren, Mermon I Iishaw, David Mack, and some girls took important parts. Some members of our class helped to make the sports program a success for the year 1940-1941. We were proud to have many of our classmates admitted to the National Honor Society. We cer- tainly felt a big part of the school. Then came our heart ' s desire— we were Seniors. Yes, in 1941, we returned to school as sedate, dig- nified, and earnest Seniors. Many of our members had found the way too rocky, and dropped out, but we still had a “swell class. David Warren was elected president of our class. Mr. Bryant became affiliated with the college and had to give his Senior advisory to Mr. Lynk. We were sorry to lose him. Our other Senior advisors were Miss Rhodes, Miss Smothers, Miss Wynbush, Mr. May- berry, and Mr. West. Our boys were a credit in sports, the most out- standing being, Jack Bush, Leonard Thurman, Clar- ence Davis, and Lucius Franklin. As Seniors, we took part in everything. In music, Geraldine Good- ley, Maryrose Westbrook, and Wilfred Keyes ex- celled. In the Majorettes, Lois Chapman, Harion Caver, and Saintthellia Fisher took the lead. In the Boosters, Helen Murdock and La Verne Thompson were cheer leaders. Our advisories excelled in the activities ' ticket campaign, the paper drive, and the purchase of Defense Stamps. Some of the Seniors on the honor roll were Dorthula Patillo, Ann Watkins, Gloria Williams, Geraldine Doty, Josephine Mayberry, Muriel Chap- man, Myrtle Gross, Jacqueline Green, Edith Jeff- ress, Catherine Garrett, Llelen Brown, Wanda Collins, Emma Jean Hambright, Emogene Byrd, Bettylu Cespedes, Floyd Paschall, Yvonne Alston, Muriel Ellis, John Gipson, Lionell Adams, David Warren, and Elizabeth Smith. Then came the time to bid everyone, adieu. We were going to seek higher fields of learning, or take our places in the army or industry. It was sad for us to leave dear old Lincoln High, where we had spent three long, but enjoyable years. We hated to leave the kind teachers, the smile of Mr. Cook, our principal, our beautiful campus, and long in- spiring corridors of our (still new) building. Goodness, can ' t the mind wander? I’ve spent about half an hour in a daze. Oh my!!! 1 smell my rolls. I ' d better put away this letter and look after them. I must answer Kaye this very morning. Tut, tut, my rolls have burned. Class Officers David Warren, President Emma Jean Hambright, Vice-President Jacqueline Green, Secretary Charlene Bass, Assistant Secretary Geraldine Doty, Treasurer Jack Bush, Sergeant-at-Arms May the class of ' 42 be long remembered in Lincoln ' s Hall of fame! May ensuing years not crush the fervor, spirit and persistent will displayed by the class to overcome those obstacles met by present day youth. It may be said in some instances, we were overbearing, but never can it be said we gave up that for which we were striving. Examples of our tenacity of purpose are found in the fact that the Seniors went 100% in the purchase of Activity Tickets. As it should be the purpose of every Senior class to lead, and the group did display leadership in all school projects, as well as in scholarship and character. In many instances, we were branded as radicals, because of an in- ward desire to get that which we were denied, however, the seniors knew what they wanted and insisted on get- ting it. The class of ' 42 stands on the threshold of one of the greatest opportunities that has been opened to any class in the history of Lincoln High School. The present emer- gency has made it possible for any one of the group who will take the necessary training, to secure any job in in- dustry for which he is qualified For many years, America has been known as the land of opportunity to the races of Europe; today it is becoming known as a land of oppor- tunity to the minority group. In future years, may the ' 42 class serve as a guiding light to beginning Sophomores and give them the will to fight and bear the title “Dignified Seniors. May their opportunities for later life be as bright as are those of the class of ' 42. in it in m ii in i i in i 1 « 1 a a ADAMS, LIONELL Honor Roll ’39, ’40, ’42; Choir ’40, ’41, ’42; Student Council ’40.

Carroll , Jr. Our gains from knowing him live among the immortal values we have had at Lincoln High School. His example as a gentleman , his acts of kindness , and the intellectual stimulus he afforded us, lives within us and will be perpetuated. We will take away from Lincoln High School this beautiful memory as a living part of ourselves. LaVERNE ii jmrjx CLEO WRIGHT LESLIE HOOVER GERTRUI ROWENS OTHELLA DAVIS THE PANTHERS MIUJ ' V? B.

This class brought pep and spirit into the college life. The year began with the election of several officers from the Freshman class. Freshmen were elected to the offices of president, secretary, assistant secretary, and treasurer of the Junior College. Through the efforts of the class, monthly socials were given. This class was instru- mental in the organization of a basket ball team and a pep squad. Not only have there been achievements in extracurricular activities, but also scholastically. Many fresh- men were on the Dean ' s list. We are hoping for a larger group next year which will permit increasing the number of activities.

During our Sophomore years, we formed for the first time a boys’ basket ball team and Pep Club. They were sponsored by Coach Norman and Miss Guy. We also participated in the “Y” organization under the direction of Miss Spurlock, our Dean of Women. Christmas and spring parties were given during their respective seasons. Although we were greatly depressed over the death of Mr. Carroll, our Dean of Men, we continued our work under the supervision of our present Dean, Mr. Bryant.

Ou i 2ueen KEEP FIGHTING, SENIORS There was a group of high school seniors who were expecting to be graduated, sitting around a fireplace, listening with great interest to an old woman whom they all called “granny,” and who told them of the past and predicted the future. “Granny” was a woman about eighty-seven years of age. One could easily guess she was very old because she was very thin with white hair and deep lines in her face which indicated suffering, sorrow, poverty and many hardships. She was born during the slavery period. At the end of the Civil War, when she was eleven years old, she first realized what it meant to be free. She had often dreamed of a life in the outside world; a world where she could speak what she thought, praise God when and where she desired. This wish had been made pos- sible by the great emancipation. “Boys and girls,” she began, “the Negroes did not play as important a part in the Civil War as they are doing now and as they will be doing before this war of today is over. There was a time when my people could not vote, walk on the sidewalks, and praise God; but dear ones, time changes things. We are gradually being given our rights. We vote now, walk on the sidewalks and say practically anything we want to. All this she spoke in a steady, smooth voice which indicated that she was earnest. “There are some things which we, as Negroes, are not allowed to do, but never you mind, for when you are men and women, and that won’t be long, you will be able to get any type of job, and do anything that any other loyal American citizen can do. You are loyal American citizens, and you will be treated as others are.” She paused to gaze into the red coals with her narrow, but wise eyes. Then she continued by saying that she didn’t believe that there was any record in American History where the Negro had proved disloyal, and yet people of every other na- tionality who have come to America, secure jobs which the Negro should have. “Children, go on to school and get your educa- tion. Don’t you know that you can’t share in this democracy unless you are prepared for it? Education is a very precious thing and you can’t make much progress without it. “Do your part to win our war,” she said suddenly. “I say our war, because it is just as much yours as it is the white man’s. We were born under the American flag, and we must not let preoccupation with our enemies at home blind us to this. It’s ours —fight for it, die for it. 1 hink of our predicament if our country was ever subjected to the rule of Adolph Hitler. You know what he thinks of Negroes. I Ie thinks we should he slaves for the lighter races, that we are like animals with no morals and no ideas. It is your duty in this fight to prove to him the opposite. Prove to him that you are human and have ideas and an understanding of what morals are. Get into the swing of this thing and work side by side with your fellow citizens to win our war. By doing that you also show your fellow citizens that you deserve equal opportunities when the nation is at peace.” There was not a word uttered by the student, for they were busy thinking about what “old granny” had said. “Maybe she was right,” they thought. They had been told that this was the white man’s war, and country, so why should they risk their lives for those who had treated them unjustly, but now they have been enlightened. “Granny” went on the predict the future. “Chil- dren, twenty years from today, you will be among the millions of Negroes who have won their places in this world. You will be respected as American citizens. You will be successful congressmen, judges, lawyers, skilled workers, and will be in many posi- tions which your varied ability will permit you to enter. Those people who have cast you aside, be- cause of your color, will look up to you as ideal Americans, and will be delighted to serve a person your color in their hotels and stores. You will be placed in high offices in the army, navy, and air corps.” “Granny” added this bit for among the group of listeners gathered on the floor were some who wanted to fly and to be hostesses aboard the planes. “Granny” concluded by saying, “Boys and girls, go out into the world and do your job so well that there will be no question about your efficiency; then you can take your places in the march for progress.” — Addie Lewis. LAUGHS “Where did you get that fine hat?” “1 bought it ten years ago. Seven years ago I dyed it black. Three years ago I had it pressed. The year before last I had a new band put on it. Last week 1 exchanged it at a restaurant.” SHOWING RESULTS Teacher— “Surely you know what the word mirror means. After you’ve washed, what do you look at to see if your face is clean.” Tommy— “The towel, sir!” Student— “When an eagle takes a child up in his nest, does he eat him?” Miss Smothers— “Of course, you don’t think he takes him up there to rear him, do you?” Teacher— “Surely the reason you don’t get your lesson isn’t spring fever?” Jean Pearl— “Oh, yes it is, too, because I saw a robin yesterday.” Id UJe ee Ah! science is indeed wonderful. Jamie, just think how valuable our new discovery is. In our new strato-liner which moves faster than the speed of light and with our new type cosmic lens we can visit future years and see what progress will be made by our graduating class in the year 1962. In our strato-liner soaring high above the clouds, let us focus our views first of all on the bright spot of America, New York. Well visit the all-famous Wrigley Building and chat with chief technician, Charles Hollins. We find after talking to Mr. Hollins that the owner of the largest chain of hotels in the United States is Mr. Elbert Caldwell. We leave the Wrigley Building and start out to try to give ourselves something to remember New York by. Our attention is attracted by a large sign ad- vertising The Water Follies. Of course having never seen one, we go. To our amazemeent we see our friend and colleague, Betty Floyd, dive from a twenty-foot board as from the banks simultane- ously go twenty or more brown skin beauties. After the follies we walk out to observe the pageantry of New York bright life on the boule- vards. Suddenly I am nearly knocked down by an unobserving pedestrian. Upon careful scrutiny I learn it is Mr. John Gipson, Judge of one of the largest Courts in New York. Wonders will never cease, however, because on my last day of visit in this city I turned on my radio and heard ‘your announcer has been Joseph Carter.” We again enter our strato-liner and head toward Dayton, Ohio, to the National A. P. Exposition. Suddenly the ship gives a lurch indicating we are out of fuel. We land at the nearest field which is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here an election is in progress and we learn that the candidates are: Mayor, William Grant Moore, a prominent lawyer; District Attorney, William Dancey, teacher of Theology; and Council-Woman-at-Farge, Jo Ellen Burwell, crack criminal lawyer. We were later informed all candidates were elected. At the A. P. Exposition we see things one would never dream to be true. Catherine Garrett, Home Economic Specialist is in charge of the Foods Buildings, Charlene Bass has devoted to her art work, an entire unit titled, “Onward America.” Although we could have stayed here many more days we thought it best to move on. Our next stop in the year, 1962, is Lansing, Michigan, where we visit the prison and Warden Floyd Paschal. While in Lansing we learn that in Detroit the new automobile “Fleet Bust” has just been released and it is the greatest discovery to date. The designer and builder is none other than Jack Bush. Again we are on our way. “Floating in billowy clouds of life, Never again shall we go back to strain, stress and strife.” Why, here we are at Marquette University in Wisconsin. To my amazement I see my friend, Leonard (Snooky) Thurman, studying hard. He expects to be coach at Lincoln University. Having chatted a while we are inspired,, by what we learn from Thurman, to visit the famous Mayo-Gilmore clinic, formerly Mayo Brothers. Dr. Gilmore is very cordial to us and sees that no stone is unturned while assisting us in our observation of the clinic. Our competent guides are Nurses Frances Caston and Florence Brashier. Later in the evening we are honored dinner guests at the Jackson-White Hotel. The owners are David Jackson and Florence White, life-long friends. Florence tells us that Emma Jean Ham- bright, superintendent of elementary schools is also happily married and has a lovely set of twins. Not to wear out our welcome, we say goodbye and entered our strato-liner and turned her nose toward Chicago. Our first stop is the all-famous Carlock Building, where Bettylu Carlock, formerly Cespedes has es- tablished a training school for secretarial work. Her able assistants, we learn are Cora Mae Stiger, typing expert, Myrtle Gross, Shorthand expert, and Jac- queline Green, statistician. All of these persons are in charge of their various divisions. Later we visited one of the large theaters man- aged by Leon Watts, Stanton Center, founded by Frances Stanton, and Patillo Llniversity, founded by Dorthula Patillo. The next evening we attend a boxing match staged in Kinsey Bowl built by the famous Dr. Luther Kinsey. After the fights, Marvin Finney is heavy weight champ and Vernon Wallace, light weight champ. Our visit is complete after visiting the large and beautiful Tom Tit Club where William Hodge is owner and Orchestra leader. We speak to Tom and learn of his famous tours and popularity. However, we must be on our way for we have little time left to complete our tour. Our next stop is Kansas City, Missouri. Here we find still in existence the institution that had built up such a fine reputation, a branch of the National Urban League. Ann Watkins is Executive Secre- tary, Josephine Mayberry, Secretary in charge of Child Welfare, Virginia Wilson, Secretary, and Geraldine Doty, Industrial Relations Secretary. Our final stop before returning home is sunny California, where we observe a Chiropodist conven- tion is in session with Dr. Pearl Logan presiding. In the latest picture to be released from Holly- wood, we find Imogene Byrd cast as the Star. Elijah Downing, we learn is head of the French Department of Southern University. The Lincoln High School Girl Reserves, under the leadership of Emma Jean I lambright, President, have achieved many high attainments this year. They have contributed to the Victory Book Campaign, and each of their bi-monthly parties have been well attended. The annual mother-daughter banquet was a success. Senior officers are: Emma Jean Hambright, President; Josephine Mayberry, Vice- President; Edith Jeffress, Treasurer; Evelyn McGinnis, Secretary; Geraldine Doty, Social Chairman; Ann Watkins, Assistant Social Chairman; Wanda fean Collins, Program Chairman; Muriel Chapman, Public Affairs Chairman. Other girls in the picture are: Dorothy Simms, Edna Phillips, Faye Booth, Lois Chapman, Ruth Cooper, Bernice Cade. Ida Jones is not shown. i i i ■ i The Student Council of Lincoln High School is an organization formed to promote student-government throughout the school. This self-government in turn yields a better understanding among the students and a closer relationship with each other. It also helps to prepare students for tasks they may encounter in later life. The students serving on the Council this year in the various offices are: President, William Dancy; Vice-President, Robert Ellis; Secretary, Wanda Jean Collins; Assistant Secretary, Bobetta Sypes; Treasurer, Myrtle Gross; Sergeant-at-Arms, Leonard Hughes. Chairman of the Departments are: Safety, Nina Dancy; Student Relations, Geraldine Doty; Awards, Edith Jeffress; Finance, Marion McDowell; Publicity, John Gipson; Foreign Relations, Imogene Byrd. Other special committees are: Deputy Committee headed by Josephine Mayberry; Decoration, Monroe Gilmore; Reception, Catherine Garrett; and Red Cross, Maude Jackson. C Umoil I ★ ★ r. o. 7 e. R.O.T.C. training this year was exceedingly successful, as has been the custom. At the beginning of the year, 174 boys were enrolled into the battalion under our untiring instructor, Sergeant Banks. Under the command of Major Monroe Gilmore, Jr. and the various company commanders, the new recruits proved to be an asset, not only to the R.O.T.C., but also to the entire school. During the spring the battalion suffered the loss of its faithful instructor, Sergeant Banks, who had been the ideal of Lincoln High R.O.T.C. boys for the past 11 years. Sergeant Banks had served 30 years in the United States Army with a wonderful career. Following the usual army procedure, he was retired. His position has been filled by Sergeant S. S. Reid. n fi ii ii in The Majorettes are sponsored by Miss Guy and Mr. Norman. Edith Jeffress is the Commander with Estella Hope, second in command. The Majorettes have been commended by many patrons for their executions of difficult maneuvers. So much progress has been made by the group this year that it is hoped per- formances in other cities will be possible in the future. Several of the present members of the group will graduate. Altogether there will be twelve uniforms waiting for new applicants. It is hoped that girls who are interested in twirling, dancing, drilling, citizenship, and scholastic ability, will try out for the group next year and thus give us another splendid organization.

Florence Brashear stopped playing. Muriel Chapman stopped talking for a fourth cf a second. John Gipson and William Dancy stopped walk- ing with that air of importance. Doris Younge stopped playing the part of “mother in the plays. Myrtle Gross stopped acting sedate. Bobetta Sypes would get a steady boy friend. Edith Jeffress didn ' t make the honor roll.

GOODBYE We came to school, and stayed in sight, We always tried to do what was right, We didn’t ditch class, and stayed out of fights, And we all learned to be Loyal Lincolnites. We spent many a day of joy and pain, But still we all had one good aim; And now as we all have to say goodbye, Our aim is to remember Dear Lincoln High. In behalf of Mr. Cook— A friendly little gent, Our days at Lincoln With him were well spent. In memory of Mr. Ellison, Who was very bright; Said what he meant And knew what was right. And dear Miss Brydie— She was sweet as could be, How one could smile so much Is hard for me to see. And now to our teachers and friends goodbye, Our hearts are burdened, but hopes are high, Accept our wishes and a last goodbye, We’ll never forget Old Lincoln High. —Helen Murdock. DEAR LINCOLN HIGH Upon a hill stands Lincoln High, To be remembered as years go by, For this old class of forty-two, Will wish the very best to you, Dear Lincoln High. When we pass through your open doors, The Juniors will take our place by scores, We hope they’ll strive with all their might, To be very loyal Lincolnites, Dear Lincoln High. And so three years have swiftly passed. We’ve done our best to make them last, For this old class of forty-two, Regrets so much to part from you, Dear Lincoln High. —Marie Sampson. “FAREWELL TO LINCOLN’’ Farewell, dear Lincoln— we all hate to say, But the time has come for graduation day. We have fought by your side through thick and thin, Always making sure that you would win. So this class of ’42 leaves you with a sigh, And will never forget you, dear Lincoln High. —Wilfred Keyes. AN ODE TO LINCOLN Farewell to dear old Lincoln High, Says the class of ’42, To the standards she has led us by, May each of us be true. The time we’ve spent together here Lias meant so much to us, And so in every coming year, We’ll strive to keep your trust. And to the class of ’43, We leave this last request, May you be just as good as we, Or better still, the best. —Yvonne Pollard. SENIOR’S DIARY It can be said after my diary is read, A Senior could have no more to write. But that is untrue. There is plenty to do. You’ll probably be a Senior in a year or two. I come to school Monday, early and bright, I laugh and play with all my might. Then Tuesday comes, my lessons are due, I stare into space and begin to che w. When Wednesday comes, I am caught unaware, I explain to my teacher— he’s very unfair. Thursday is test day, and I’m a mess that day, For an F is my reward. Friday is the last day, a very fast day, Saturday and Sunday come in, too. But then there is nothing at school to do, And Monday starts again in the usual way. My diary is ended with nothing more to say. —Helen Baxter. “A SENIOR’S FAREWELL’’ Farewell, Dear Lincoln, And others who made you so, The time is drawing near When all seniors must go, We ll take what you have taught us As we travel on, For it was you who helped us To mingle with the throng. — Ruby ]ean Hamilton. LINCOLN HIGH L is for Lincoln, the school on the hill. I is for intelligence, and use it we will. N is for naughtiness, we quit altogether. C is for closer, in storm or fair weather. 0 is for obedience, to desires, fine and true. L is for leave, which we hate to do. N is for no-better school you could go to. H is for holdfast to truth, and be steady. 1 is for importance, and always be ready. G is for graduation, that’s just now our aim. H is for happiness, though we do not win fame. —Fern Dickinson , Maxine Williams. For the third time since Lincoln has been on the hill, the football team came through with an all state Championship team, sharing honors with Sumner of St. Louis, who also had an undefeated year. Coach Mason assembled an eleven that boasted of power and headwork resulting in a closely knit machine that functioned so smoothly that every man got a chance at fame, it is a bit late for preening wings, but the Lincoln High Tigers, pride of Kansas City, were acclaimed by all to be the best co-ordinated team developed in a Missouri High School in many years. We had three all-state men: Murray “Flash” Robinson, adjudged one of Missouri’s best high school ends, and unanimously named on the All-State eleven, was cited as the most gentlemanly player of 1941; Leonard “Snookie” Thurman, quarterback on the co-championship eleven of Missouri, was adjudged Missouri’s best high school quarterback by the M. N. I. A. A. In the fullback position, Roy, “Sampson” Miller was a very fine blocker, a crack line plunger and a end runner, usually re- quiring two and three men to bring him down. Lincoln just barely defeated Lincoln of Sedalia, in one of the finest exhibitions of man power ever paraded. The 13 to 6 score did not tell the full story of this thrilling football fracas that left the football fans “Draped on rails.” The game was a battle of lines. Llltimate victory for us came as a direct result of superb blocking after a hole was opened for our hard running ball carriers, Thurman, Miller, Crawford, and Wheeler. The Tigers did not “hog” the limelight, for Alene Johnson, Sedalia right end, was equally as spectacular as any of his opponents. Space does not permit a detailed exposition of other games although each proved to be quite entertaining for the Lincoln High School roosters. All hearts were made happy, however, as they watched our team out-class its principal rival, the Sumner High School Spartans, on Thanksgiving day and thus climax a glorious season. i l I i i A week after our Lincoln-Sumner football victory the boys were called for basket ball practice. Coach Mason had to build his team around two of his last years star performers. They were Jack Bush and Snookie Thurman. Out of the thirty-four who turned out for basket ball the following made the team: John Garrett, Edward Smith, Paul Nelson, Lucius Franklin, Odess Harvell, Anthony Crawford, Robert Brady and Clarence Davis. Out of the thirteen games they played they lost 8 and won 5. Four of the games lost went to two of Lincolns rivals, R. T. Coles and Sumner of Kansas City, Kansas. At the Tournament held in Jefferson City, Missouri, Jack Bush made All-State forward on the second team. The Lincoln High Tracksters were called to active service Monday, March 23rd. There were twenty-four grim-faced youngsters out to do their part for “Dear Old Lincoln High.” Lincoln has lost most of its previous track stars. However, we still have Walter King, Murray Robinson, Robert Winesberry, Odess Harville, jack Bush, Leonard Thurman, Robert Brady, James Miller, Edward Miller, Bennie Wheeler, Theodore Oglesby, and Clarence Davis, who are willing to do their part this year. There are quite a few Sophomore boys out to make the team also, which makes the prospects for the future look very bright. L ' land d cafieila Chain. In keeping with the policy of Mr. Smith to constantly improve the high standards of the Lincoln High School Band, several new features have been stressed this year with noteworthy results. Soloists and instrumental groups have been developed within the band and instruction in swing interpretation of popular music has been inaugur- ated with wholehearted co-operation of the entire band membership. Several original compositions have been orchestrated by Mr. Smith and have been enthusiastically received by faculty and students whenever presented. This varied instruction has produced as a result a higher quality of student talent— exemplified in the outstanding performances of such students as Harold Ashby, Frank Patterson, Pierre Price, William Hodge, Isaac Drew, Yvonne Alston and William Davis. The a cappella Choir pictured above is directed by Mr. John S. Williams, Instructor of Choral Music and Voice. With Geraldine Goodly as Soloist, and Maryrose Westbrook as Pianist, the Choir has achieved some very worthwhile results during the year. One of the most outstanding was the presentation of I landehs “Messiah” at the annual Christmas Vesper Service held in the auditorium. Invited by the City High School Broadcast Committee, the Choir has given two very out- standing programs over radio stations WDAF and KMBC. Other outside engage- ments include the Northeast and Southwest high schools, Ward Chapel A.M.E. church, St. Paul Presbyterian church, and the city wide Music Festival held at the Municipal Auditorium. The Choir anticipates the presentation of an operetta for the coming year. WHO’S WHO IN LINCOLN HIGH WHO’S WHO IN FUNNY LAND Most studious girl— Dorthula Pattillo. Most studious boy— Floyd Paschall.

Vi. 9386 FINE CLOTHES MADE TO MEASURE Congratulations and Best Wishes to Lincoln High of ’42 a ■ i v ■ i s� SENIOR PLAY The Senior Dramatics class of “42 proved be- yond any shadow of a doubt that they were capable of maintaining the high standard of dramatic excel- lence established by previous classes. Under the careful and patient guidance of Mr. J. Oliver Morrison the class of ' 42 presented a mag- nificent performance, of what was one of the most thrilling, and interesting plays of recent years, which was entitled “The Moonstone. It was a play of suspense and mystery with a touch of humor, which kept the audience baffled. The story was centered around the mystery of a beautiful diamond stone, which was given the name of “The Moonstone ' because of the change in lustre of the stone with the waxing and waning of the moon. “The Moonstone was willed to Gloria Ver- inder by her late uncle, who had taken the diamond some twenty years before from a Hindu Temple. By her uncle ' s request, the diamond was to be given her on her nineteenth birthday. Her fiance, whose father was the executor of the will, was com- missioned to bring the diamond to Gloria ' s home. In doing so, he was constantly watched by fanatical I lindoos. At the celebration of Gloria ' s birthday, several family friends were present, one of whom was a rival suitor for Gloria ' s hand. The diamond was presented to Gloria along with an engagement ring from Franklin Blake, Gloria ' s fiance. During the night when everyone was asleep, the stone is taken from Gloria ' s room, but it was not until the next morning that the theft was dis- covered. Suspicion is immediately thrown upon the Flindoos, as they seemed to be the persons most in- terested in the stone. A faithful servant reports the loss of the diamond to a neighboring detective, who is keen and shrewd. During the search for the stone, Gloria ' s rival suitor, Godfrey Ablewhite, insists he has important business. He finds that he has missed the train that was necessary to get him to his engagement on time, so he stays to assist the detectives. The second housemaid who is deeply in love with the young Miss Verinder ' s fiance, conceals important evidence, which she thought would be harmful to him. As the story goes on, Gloria Verinder is accused of stealing her own diamond, by the detective. Her mother becomes very much agitated and immedi- ately closes the case. Gloria has left her home in the face of all this and gave Sergeant Cuff the idea that she stole her own diamond. It is not until a year later that Gloria Verinder learns that her fiance took the diamond from her room to move it to a safer hiding place. In doing so, while under the influence of laudanum that the Verinder ' s family physician had slipped into his cof- fee, prior to a heated argument between the fiance and him, he dropped to the floor from where the diamond was stolen. It was not until the third act that Sergeant Cuff ' s clever assistant nabs a mysterious woman in black who was taken into custody and who turned out to be Godfrey Ablewhite and the “moonstone is dis- covered in his hat. In the end, the Hindoo returns to steal the diamond off the living room table, when he is caught. He tells Gloria he wants it for religious rea- sons. She tells him to restore it to its original place, as she is told that her uncle stole it from the temple of Siva.

We know that many times you have lost patience with us, but, dear teachers, have you ever stopped to think what we ' ve been through? For three long, long years we ' ve struggled through pages of English, of Latin and of history. I low we ever survived the ordeals of chemistry is, and always will be, a mystery to us. Today, we are here on the threshold of life, as you so descriptively state it. Do not worry about us, for anyone who successfully passes your scrutiny can, we believe, take life in his stride. So, hail and farewell. Jo Ellen Burwell.

The education of our children depends on the teacher and the teacher looks to taxes to pay the cost of this most vital employment . . . We depend upon education as our armor of defense against all that is un-American. We cannot afford intolerance, ignorance or injustice. Our tax dollars not only give our children this protection but help pay the cost of our edu- cational system . . . Almost 23 cents of every dollar this company receives for electric service goes to make up our $3,795,000 WE PAID IN TAXES LAST YEAR A share of this helps to maintain our schools and to pay the salaries of the teaching staffs. We are glad to contribute our part that this good work may continue. KANSAS CITY POWER LIGHT CO. Kansas City, Missouri
