Lincoln High School - Lincolnian Yearbook (Kansas City, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 36 of the 1944 volume:

Because of the present crisis, the Senior Class of 1944 has chosen for its motto and theme ' Team Work.” In this year book we have tried to incor- porate the work and activities of the graduating seniors. We hope that this book will serve as a memorandum to the class of ’44, to our many friends and parents who are interested in our welfare. To Mr. Cook, Mr. Ellison, Faculty and to the boys in the armed forces who would have graduated this year. MR, GEORGE S. ELLISON MISS CAROLYN BRYDIE MISS R. E. ARNOLD MR. GIRARD T. BRYANT S OME changes have bee n made in the school admin- istration since 1943. Mr. H. O. Cook retired and now resides in Cali- fornia. Mr. G. Ellison was appointed and accepted Mr. Cook’s position as principal. Mr. G. T. Bryant, Dean of The Lincoln Junior College, accepted Mr. G. Ellison’s position as Vice-Principal. Mr. Ellison remained in his own office and Mr. Bryant occupies Mr. Cook’s office. Miss H. Arnold remained in the school office and Mrs. Carolyn Brydie is still the Student Counselor. Mr. Ellison and Mr. Bryant have introduced some new ideas that may help the students to become bet- ter citizens. One of these changes is The Host and Hostess Club. Another is the deputy system sponsored by the Student Council. Back — left to right: Miss A. Della Newson Art Miss Florence Baker Home Making Mr. J. O. Morriso n English Mr. J. A.

And Aladdin, in his magnificent chariot, rode out from between my book-ends. There he stood regarding me with sad eyes. Finally with his lamp in hand he said, My lamp is my most cherished possession and brings back favorite memories, what is yours?” I replied, My lamp of memory is my cher- ished possession, I have only to say a phrase and I recall my high school days.” He then said a little forlornly, I never went to high school; please tell me of your adventure in that far away place.” I consented gladly, and began to tell him. First by saying my magic words, Night, night, a secret light is burning and through my magic lamp of memory.” I am back again with dear Lincoln High. Let’s see now what happened in ’41; oh yes, I recall now that we were just entering Lincoln High School. We were sophomores; you might have called us The gay illiterates,” for we were reckless, irresponsible, enjoying life. As juniors we finally but rather reluctantly settled down to the boredom of every-day living. We chose class officers and Roy E. Cowan was chosen to head our class as president. With the strong guidance of Mr. George S. Ellison and the tender love of Mr. H. O. Cook we entered into our senior year. Yes, we were the class of ’44 with all its vibrant youth and gaiety. David Johnson was elected president of our class. Under his leadership our class stepped out to take its place among the greater classes of Lincoln High. The other class officers were: vice president,, James Wilcox; secretary, Fannie Mae Thompson; treasurer, Geraldine Johnson. Calvin Young was elected by the student body as the president of the student governing body, better known as the Student Council. Cornelia Mann, Juanita Jones and Reatha Colbert were selected to head the Lincoln Callo- type staff, striving to give Lincolnites the best entertainment possible from a school newspaper. About this time our beloved principal, Mr. H. O. Cook, left us only because he had reached the retirement age. However, we continued to go forward with Mr. G. S. Ellison as the acting prin- cipal and Mr. G. T. Bryant with his ingenuity, as vice principal. We can’t forget our R. O. T. C. officers, who in time of world strife, looked forward if the need arose to answer gallantly their country’s call. With a fine military course behind them they can look forward to a greater career. The officers are Major James Wilcox, Captain Roy E. Cowan, Captain William Alexander, Captain Chester Boyd, Captain Calvin Young, 2nd Lieut. James Coates, 2nd Lieut. Billy Hicks, 1st Lieut. Frank Evans, 2nd Lieut. James Dennis, 2nd Lieut. C larence Rambo, 1st Lieut. Stanley Wright, 1st Lieut. Lloyd Dewey and 2nd Lieut. Frank Hill. The realm of sports harbors a million mem- ories and we shall never forget the thrills given us by our hard-fighting Blue Tigers. We recall Captain Richard Adkins of the Blue Tiger foot- ball squad, once all-city guard; along with him were Lonnie Starr, tackier, and Marshall McKin- ley, center. Basketball reveals Captain James Miller of the Blue Tiger basketball team. Off go our hats to the other loyal Lincolnites who made up these two great teams. Our Booster Club was an excellent morale builder with Ruby Eskrige, Mary Louise Parker and Erma Carson as cheer leader. Yes, there were the majorettes under the com- mand of Thedora Brashiers, all loyal Lincolnites, striving to give us the best of entertainment, and they really succeeded. And there were the students who gave excel- lent performances in the senior play. Hail the queen — to Fannie Mae Thompson must go the lion’s share of praise for selling the most year books. So, dear faculty and fellow students, we bid you au revoir with this solemn little promise: We’ll remember Lincoln Wherever we may roam; Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln, When we’re far away from home.” Aladdin, that’s what my lamp of memory will do at my command. Then he said solemnly, May it keep burning throughout eternity, your magic lamp of memory,” and then he was gone.

May the class following hold this year’s Seniors as its example. The seniors have been 100% in every activity. It is the purpose of every senior class to lead and this group has displayed its ability to lead in everything, from the many school projects to scholarship and character. Class ’43 was denied certain things, but this class insisted upon having those things and got them. The class of ’44 has had more opportunities than any other class in the history of Lincoln High School. The present crisis has made it possible for the minority group to be recognized. As this senior class comes near the threshold, may the oncoming years find the next senior class worthy of its title. Comelia Mann.

To Fannie Thompson must go the lion’s share of praise as well as the crown for having sold the most year books. Through sheer hard work and loyalty to her class and school, she helped make this book the success that it is. To assist her in carrying out the royal duties are the attendants, Theodora Brashiers and Mildred Mitchell. To them must go some praise for they did a fine job. QUEEN CONTESTANTS To these sixteen queen contestants who started out with the hope of becoming queen, we give praise and admiration. We give praise for their loyalty to their school and for boosting the year book sales. Although they were unsuccessful in the end, without their help our book would have been deepl y in debt. So to you beautiful young ladies, we, your fellow classmates, take off our hats. e HAIL THE KING ! ! ! Ah, salute Pierre, le Roi; yes, salute the king who reigns supreme on his throne beside the queen. Our hats off to you, Pierre, for your fine school spirit and co-operation in making our annual such a great success. To the kings aide de camp, Thurston Watts, goes some praise and admiration. i proph opnecu One quiet evening, in the month of October, as I sat under an old oak tree wondering about the graduating class of 1944 and what success they had made I decided to call on Father Future. Father Future was in his Royal Room gazing into his crystal ball, clad in a black gown decorated with stars and moon. He smiled at me as I entered as if he had expected me. Maybe it was his power that drew me to him for he said, I am Father Future, the Prophet of all Times,” and added after a short smile, Come with me in my Electric Brougham and we shall sail the seven seas far into the future . . . I’ll show you the future activities of all your classmates.” As we sped along smoothly the scene changed to 19 54. Tightly belted in my seat, I was tremendously frightened because I didn’t know what I might see or hear. All at once I heard a loud noise. Music! Five beats followed by a short one. I looked out the cellophane windows and there I saw ' ' The Great Zilumbriz Band,” directed by Mr. Dent with Clarence Rambo and Thurston Watts. The star singer, Miss Louise Downs, singing ' ' I’ve Waited a Long, Long Time.” After being relieved of my fright, I sat back in my seat to relax a bit; but I saw the most magnificent white house with a large lake as the background. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cowan. She was the former Theodora Brashier. About a mile away I heard people cheering with loud voices. For what I thought? It was The All-American Football Team,” starring Lonnie Starr, Edward Tivis, with Coach Miller. After seeing this I decided to stay at this window be- cause I was really amazed at what I saw and heard and knowing that there was yet greater scenes to be seen. As we sped up the avenue we passed the Lutrizz Follies. The leading chorus girls, Ruby Eskridge and Vernetta Caver. Later we came to the Johnson Insurance Company.” The greatest insurance company in New York City. Presi - dent David Johnson with Ruth Randall, private secretary. South of the city we notice Miss Evelyn Dunlap in the medical class, studying for specialist in obstetrics. Elon Downs had succeeded as private secretary of the Head Executive Board of the National Wide New York Business Firm. We met Dr. C. Mann and Rodney Evans, M.D. sur- geons, while we visited the hospital there. At the top of Hill Remembrance” we saw the most beautiful archaic cathedral. Bishop Eugene Chinn with Vernethia Branch and Bertha Bogar, two of the faithful members. We met Lady Lenodiale in Hollywood (Colleen O’Quin) playing in Hit the Road to Mexico.” Also Bobbie Evans in The Man of Tomorrow.” Miltren Lewis and Murthey Lee Hammonds were social workers in Washington, doing fine work. At the St. John’s Hospital, Betty Clark was dietician, Freda Williams and Ollie Story were nurses. While in Washington we met Calvin Young, pilot, who had just returned from a trip to Wake Island. He told us that James Wilcox was Commander of the 99th Pursuit Air Squadron in Wake Island. We met Mary Parker, a well-known artist for the At- lantic Art Company” in Minnesota. Miss Pauline Bell was the Physical Education teacher of the Whyston High School of Orange, New Jersey. Gloria Handy was one of the teachers. Miss Ellaweese Donohue was doing fine work as dress designer in the same city and Earline Hampton was -seam- stress at the same shop. At the National Bank we met Miss Fannie Thompson, head banker, and Eugenia Stevenson as stenographer. In the Lincoln University, Miss Muriel Byrd was teacher of English. Miss Geraldine Franklin was the school nurse. At the great La Paris Dress Shop, Miss Floranna Fields was their most outstanding dress designer. Evelyn Cason and Margret Brown were nurses in Bakers- field, California. Roxanna Smith, Elizabeth Davis, Ruby Lee, were attending the medical school. Mae Ruth Richardson and Vernetta Allen were doing successful work in Boston as officers in the Civil Air Patrol. Coming back to Kansas City, we stopped for a short visit. We met Marshall McKinney in the bus garage clean- ing cars. He said This is my job till the end. I always liked such work.” Mr. Ellison was still Principal of Lincoln High School with Mr. Bryant Vice Principal. The school had just re- ceived a letter from Miss Milicent Myers, one of the social workers at Washington. Reatha Colbert. The Reserve Officers Training Corps this year was exceedingly successful. Two hundred boys were enrolled into the battalion under their able instructor, Sergeant S. S. Reid. This year the officers under the command of Major James Wilcox have made an outstanding record. This year is the first time the officers have worn officers’ uniforms. These officers and boys of the R. O. T. C. have made a record which makes them an asset to the school and also to society. The officers are: Major James Wilcox, Capt. Calvin Young, Capt. William Alexander, Capt. Roy E. Cowan, Capt. Chester Boyd, Capt. Samuel Hamor, 1st Lt. Frank Evans, 1st Lt. John Shoates, 1st Lt. Lloyd Dewey, 2nd Lt. Stanley Wright, 2nd Lieut. Clarence Rambo, 2nd Lt. James Coates, 2nd Lt. James Dennis, 2nd Lt. Billy Hicks, 2nd Lt. Frank Hill. The Majorettes were reorganized in the fall of the year without one of their sponsors — Mr. Cordell Lee Norman. Miss Guinevere D. Guy after conference with the ’42-’43 Major- ettes decided to sponsor the club. The present club is ably directed and commanded by Thedora Brashiers who is considered the best commander in its five years of history. She is able to dance, drill, do acrobatic stunts, command, train new girls, and foster good feeling among the members by her sunny disposition. The assistant commander, Fannie Thompson, exercises a calm influence on the Majorettes during the learning of difficult drills and steps. She is considered the best ticket seller in the group, selling 100 tickets to the other girls’ 10. Edith Wilson, who counted cadence and aided the com- mander in teaching, finished her work in January and left an unfilled place. Mr. Cordell Lee Norman is awarding the Majorette Cup to Thedora Brashiers, the Major- ette of all Majorettes; and awards Batons to Fannie Thompson and Edith Wilson for being very loyal. The prospects for the continuance of the club are not hopeful. Why? Someone must carry on. earning WHO’S WHO IN LINCOLN HIGH WHO’S WHO IN FUNNY LAND Best Girl Actress ...

DEAR LINCOLN HIGH The parting time has come to us, We hate to go, but yet, we must; Some will go here, some don’t know where, But the thought of you will be there. We’ll never forget, the things you taught us; Always be true and learn to trust. Out in this world we all must roam, Some will be here, some far from home. There are our colors, gold and blue, They stand for good and true; That’s what you taught us, Lincoln High, Long may you stand as high as the sky. You represent good and represent true, To us you are next to the Red, White and Blue; No matter where we go or roam, To us you shall always be our first home. Evelyn Tittle. FAREWELL, LINCOLN HIGH F is for friends” we love so true, A is for always” ready to do, R is for reliance” we have shown so well, E is for earnestness” that we have held, W is for waiting” for this day to come, E is for eyes” to show that now we’re done, L is for love” we show for our school, L is for loyalty” we used as a rule.

H is for honor” we try to win, 1 is for intolerance,” which is a sin, G is for goodness” we will try to win, H is for happiness” we have had in, Dear Lincoln High. — Mildred J. Mitchell. SO LONG, DEAR LINCOLN So long, dear Lincoln, we are leaving you, It is through your help that we so do, This class of ’44 leaves you with a sigh, But with memories of dear old Lincoln High. In beloved memories of all our dear teachers, Who struggled with us through pain, To help us win this victory; To attain a higher name. So long, dear old Lincoln, Our eyes are full of tears, Our hearts are overburdened To have to part this year. — Betty Jean Martin. A CIVILIAN’S PRAYER Dear Father in Heaven we pray today For the safe deliverance of loved ones away. We pray for their health and for them to understand That they must fight to preserve the safety of our land. Bless those who did not live to tell Their children of the battle they fought so well. And may their souls have eternal rest While nestled in Mother Earth’s sweet breast. Flave mercy upon those poor mothers That have but that one son and no others. Let her not in her lonely hours grieve For God’s will must be done and this she must believe. Heavenly Father make it known That the world by no man can be owned. That peace, love, and happiness will fail As long as dictatorships prevail. So dear Father give us a ray of light That will enable us to win this fight. That the world will be ruled by freedom, For the safety of generations to come. These things we ask in Jesus’s name, The Son of God who to the world came, To set us free of our evil sins. This is our humble prayer. Amen. — Geraldine Johnson. to a fighting lincolnite It’s a tough fight for you, Lincolnite, And it takes a heap of grit To stick and win And keep your grin When you’re in the thick. For there’s a great time coming, Lincolnite, A time worth waiting for, When Hitler’s done And the war is won And the boys come home from war. It’s a hard road for you, Lincolnite, But it’s more than worth the fight To withstand all fears So Lincoln’s cheers To a Fighting Lincolnite. — Juanita C. Jones. FOOTBALL The football squad was the first group to take shape. With the stadium in our back door and an abundance of lads going out for the rough and tumble, a great season was predicted. The boys who worked hard under Coach Lenel Mason were put in fine condition. The title of Captain was placed upon Richard Adkins, who had played football the previous year. The year’s team was composed of mostly juniors and seniors. Among the seniors in the line-up were Richard Adkins, Captain; Frank Evans, Lonnie Starr, John Shoats, William Alexander, Gran- ville Johnson, David Johnson, Roy Cowan, James White, Claudius Harris, Owen Hammonds, Marshall McKinney and Chester Boyd. There were games played. The Lincoln Tigers won and lost. The most spectacular game of the season was with Sumner at Rupert Stadium. The Tigers came out triumphant. The football season came to a close with the Tigers playing Sumner. In spite of the fact that Lincoln’s Football Team was made up primarily of new men Lincoln fans have no cause to apologize for its record on the gridiron this season. Three of the five games on this year’s schedule were played with the enthusiasm characteristic of our team in past years. The boys displayed a fine spirit of sportsmanship attesting their loyalty whether in victory or defeat. Coach Mason has done a fine job with the new and limited material at his disposal. We doff our hats to him. Five men from Lincoln’s Football Team made the All City Team: Lonnie Starr and Captain Richard Adkins were in the guard and tackle positions. Russell Saunders at left end Marshall McKinney at center and Warner Killingsworth at the full-back position. The game of the season was when our mighty Tigers defeated the Sumner Spartans under the brilliant lights of Ruppert Stadium. Victory came for us as a direct result of superb blocking after holes were opened for our powerful and running back-field men, William Alexander, David Johnson, Robert Bradly, and Warner Killingsworth. Those two long runs by Killingsworth will long be remembered by Lincoln High fans. ' NOSNHOf QIAVQ BASKETBALL After the close of the football season the boys remained idle until after the Christmass holidays when training began for the basketball squad. As the team took shape, the boys were judged as short (in stature) but fast in work. The seniors represented in this sport were: James White, James Miller, Owens Hammonds, William Alexander, Edward Tivis, Russell Saunders, Albert Rowan, Lonnie Starr, John Shoats and Marshall McKinney. After leaping over the first obstacles placed in their path the Tigers were on their way to fame. The team ventured to Sedalia and beat them on their own court. Lo and behold, the squad went to the ' ' University City” and after being defeated by the Vashon Eleven for the honor of being state champions captured second honors with ease. The trophies won now rests in the showcase in the L. H. S. hall and our pride in the team is inexpressible. With the tournament ended, curtains fell upon the sport of basketball. The close of the basketball season saw sports-minded boys loitering in the locker-room dis- cussing their desires and intentions to enter the cinder path. The lads began training a trifle late but a good team was predicted. THE SENIOR ATHLETIC CLUB THE BOOSTER CLUB This year Miss Guy’s Senior Athletic Club has done successful work throughout the year. The leading athletes in the class were Theodora Brashiers, Sara Combs, Channey Donnely, Rub Esk- ridge, Gladys Griffin, Myrtle Morgan, Helen Nelson, Marsennah Pattillo, Vera President, Ruth Williams, Artelia Hambright, Betty Wilson, and Myrtle Page. These girls formed the Lincoln Club. They have completed the courses of all sports required. Betty Wilson, Ethel Ferguson, Helen Nelson were members of the American Red Cross Swimming Club. THE SIXTH HOUR GYM CLASS The Swing Band organized from the School Orchestra has made great advancement since its beginning, under the l eadership of Mr. Jones. It has participated in many school activities, such as the pep assemblies and student mix- ers. The band has played continually for the recreation center on each Monday and Thursday night. appe a The A Capella Choir of Lincoln High School under the direction of Mr. John S. Williams has made many public appearances this year. It has been on several assembly programs, and has made several tours to different churches and clubs. The most outstanding work was done during the Teacher’s Institute, National Educator’s Conference and the Interracial In- stitute. Lth5 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY DON JUANS ALKAPALS GIRL RESERVES HOST AND HOSTESS CLUB The various organizations of Lincoln High are doing a tremendous job in developing team work and cooperation among the students. All of the clubs have inaugurated various recreation programs. One of the outstanding fea- tures along this line is the recreation program now established at our school. Started by the Quill Club and sponsored by Mr. G. T. Bryant. The plan immediately captured the interest of the students. The After the Show” program originated by the Girl Reserves and Hi Y Boys has its rating also. These are just a few of their features. Together they have furnished much entertainment for the youth. The Don Juans have made their entrance also this year. They have sponsored an After the Show” parlor. The A Cappella Choir has given many musical programs. All in all they have accomplished a wonderful job this year establishing entertainment for our youth. They deserve the credit for the work they have done. DL S, emor Midsummer Madness,” a roaring farce in three acts, with a double cast brought laughs and thrills with a tinge of romance to a large audience in the Lincoln High Auditorium March 31, 1944. Incidentally it added another feather to the cap of glory of the class of ? 44. The play was written by Glenn Hughes and was directed by Mr. J. O. Morrison. The pearls around which the plot was built brought on continuous complications. William Alexander portrayed the role of Harvey Brooke, an investment broker, shrewdly mingling the comical and the pathetic. Time and Time again, the too polite maid brought gales of laughter from the audience and it is to be regretted that the part of the heckled maid as played by Alease Peterson was so short. The supporting cast included, Marshall Ezell, Vera President, Frances Lloyd, Roy Cowan, Marguerite Rayndles, Chester Boyd, Jr., Delores Lillard, Robert Evans, Eugene Chinn, David Johnson, Marievelyn Peters, Mae Ruth Richard- son, Granville Johnson, Margarett Brown, Rox- ana Smith, Richard Adkins, and James Miller. The production staff included, Fannie Mae Thompson, Gladys Griffin, Owens Hammons and Eugene Chinn. jLe Student (Council The Student Council of Lincoln High School, is an organization formed to promote student government in the school. This self-government in turn yields a better understanding among the stu- dents and a closer relationship between the students and faculty. The Student Council contributed to the Victory Book Campaign and was successful in buying a placque honoring the boys who have entered the Armed Forces from Lincoln High School. The students serving on the council this year are: Calvin Young, President; Emma Lois Mitchell, Vice-President; Marievelyn Peters, Secretary; Bernice Lewis, Asst. Secretary; Erma Carson, Treasurer; Samuel Hamer, Sergeant-at-Arms. Heads of other offices are: James Coates, Red Cross; Myrtle Page, Student Relations; Margaret Brown, Publicity; Etta Lou Wilkerson, Awards; Wealtha Turner, Deputies; John Foster, Care of Building; Yvonne Starks, Victory Corps; Ralph Lorez, Assembly, Doris Jean Brashiers, Citizen Serv- ice Corps.
