Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made. Within these pages is con- tained the account of the days we spent in the castle on the hill. Only when we look back to these full days of living, working, and playing together, will we realize their true value. It is to help you in your remembering that we give you the Lincolnian of 1953.

Such a time has come for us, the Senior Class of 1953. We cannot hope to recall all our many glorious experiences; for such an attempt would be an insult to our memories. Neither can we tell all that we do recall in the very limited space allotted us for this purpose; so the following recollections are only those we consider most significant. No doubt the fall of 1949 has a separate and a somewhat warm feeling for every senior; that was the first time when two hundred eighty -eight of us entered dear ole Lincoln High ' s portals of knowledge to begin a four-year project which would complete the major segment of our public education. Our freshman year found us in a strange school trying hard to acclimate ourselves to our new environment. As the school year rolled around and the summer vacation ended we found ourselves sophomores. While sophomores we presented to our school a new activity, a soph hop. Time passed and so did we. Before long, we were juniors. As juniors we met our most infamous and formidable opponents, the annual English and mathematics examinations. But, after many days of anxiety, we were informed that most of us had conquered our opponents. We became more conscientious as the year came to a close; for we know that the next year would be the most important in our lives. During our senior year we united under our president, Richard Goldsby, and our vice-president, Lee Patterson, to make our achievements shine brighter than ever. Equally sharing a golden cupboard in our storehouse of memories are our athletic contests. Although our grid team has been suffering a deficit of players in the past few years, they have fought like the name assigned to them, like tigers. Under the leadership of Worley Brooks and James Buford this year, our team has been able to win more than half the games they have played. As one reminisces in the realm of sports, he cannot justificably exclude basketball. In the year of ' 50- ' 5l and ' 51 - ' 52, there was not a team in the Midwest formidable to the potent Tigers. Already, this year, our basketball squad has won more than seventy-five per cent of its games. Also, our track meets occupy a top shelf in our sports cupboard. Every Tiger leg on the track and every claw on the field has been a threat to our adversaries. But our eyes and minds were not wholly clouded by athletics. In the cool of the evening our thoughts and hearts turned to drama. Our own classmates provided us with several outstanding productions; namely, Mama ' s Little Angel Child, which starred many juniors with outstanding acting ability, and our senior success, The Night of June 16th. These theatrical presentations, along with a couple of others, are only a few of our important recollections which have reserved places in our memories. While recalling past events and experiences, we cannot commit the sin of omitting our band, which is under the direction of Mr. Calvin Whitmore. Only last year, in the Missouri State Music Festival, our band won five first place prizes. From the band there have been several members selected for the Kansas City All -City Orchestra for the first time in the history of Lincoln. Our sojourn a’t Lincoln has seen the band develop into the finest orchestra in dear ole Lincoln High ' s history. Moreover, the music of the band will always ring cheerfully in our memories. Now that we are seniors, we have almost completed the project which we began four years ago as freshmen. Our achievements in dramatics, athletics, and in other such activities have been great; our intellectual growth, greater. Here at Lincoln, we, the Senior Class of 1953, have had incomparable experiences, which will be meaningful to us for a lifetime. But, now, the pursuit for a high school diploma, which has lasted for a seemingly brief four years, is almost over. Only the future can determine our success or failure.

I stopped in front of a beautiful cathedral where I heard music ringing. I peeked through the window and much to my surprise I saw CHARLENE HARDIN playing hymns in a boogie-woogie style with the guest vocal soloist, none other than GEORGE NOLAN. In the same building I found CHARLES SCOTT, Di- rector of Music at the Institution of Wayward Brains, conducting the Nutcracker Suite. That was surely enough of that. I continued down the street and came to the Find -U -No -Work Employment Agency. Who were the proprietors???? You gussed itl THOMAS SAUNDERS and HERBERT NICKERSON. After an enjoyable chat with Tuckie I continued my stroll. I saw a sharp car parked not so far away; so I walked over to see what kind it was. Much to my surprise again I found JEANE SIMPSON seated behind the wheel and asked her to take me for a ride. We went speeding up the street and were arrested. As we walked to the station I was amazed to see ZELMA LLOYD serving as the only judge and NAN CUNNINGHAM, Traffic Cop. I left Jeane and was alone once again. I walked down a beautiful path and I entered the Right Por- portion Modelling Agency to see MARY KIDD modelling swimming suits and MABLE NORMAN modelling shoes for the tall girl. I came out to a noisy section of town and saw signs announcing the new ballet team of MARTHA RUSSELL and DEXTER MILLER. I rubbed my almost closed eyes, for I was sleepy but couldn ' t retire when things were beginning to get so interesting. So I visited a famous nightclub where I heard JACQULYN CALLOWAY singing torch songs accompanied by HENRY McADAMS and WILLIAM THOMAS. While I was chatting with her, who walked in flashing dime -Ones — none other than Vada Hill, who is owner of a reducing salon. She told me her parmer was DOROTHY WILSON, and invited me to come along with her to see a famous radio program. The program was It Pays to Be Ignorant with Leroy Walker master of ceremonies and JEAN WARD his first contestant. Outside of the studio I saw RICHARD GOLDSBY trying to peddle some of his unusual chemical con- coctions with his two lovely secretaries MAXINE GARRETT and SHIRLEY JOHNSON. After an enjoyable evening I decided to listen to a radio show, Real Crazy Man, on which RALPH JAMIERSON is the sharp-witted disc jockey and FAYE SMITH was his assistant. I then retired on the Sink -um -low” mattress by Pernell and Lopez, Inc. On awakening v fy early the next morning I stopped at a corner drugstore for a snack, and who was whipping up such strange things (such as kikapoo sodas) but the famous soda jerk ANNA DEAN ROULETTE 1 I decided to visit a rising new business establishment owned by CHARLES DREW, CHESTER CADE, and LEE PATTERSON. They sell toupees and wigs of all descriptions. Mr. Drew told me of SHIVERLA NORMAN and ORA JEAN CARR ' S success as charm school directors. I also found out that SANDRA NORTH is getting fat from her income of the new book Me and the Hambone , and that DOROTHY FINLEY is brakewoman and OPALINE BRICE is mailcarrier on the largest freight train in the country. I learned also that JAMES BUFORD is coach of the all girls Eager-Beavers football squad. Well my carpet is calling me so I must leave.
