So I’m not got time for nosquares, so 1 dafes on up to my pad, cause I’m powful beat for scarf, and dust my shewts among the lily- whites ’till early bright. 2nd: Well, spote, that’s fly-jive, but don’t collar that gab.

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.
