X I REVIVAI. of the Lincoln Lettermens Club took place just as The Lizzmln was nearing port. The club had been discontinued since 1932. Our branch of the National Athletic Scholarship Society of Secondary Schools operates under the constitution of the Society which was organized to encourage high scholarship among boy athletes, to arouse a desire for balanced training, to elevate the ideas of sportsmanship, and to develop more outstanding leaders in the high schools of the United States. Control of these chapters is entrusted to an Advisory committee and an executive committee. Of these the Advisor Committee consists of fort f-ei ht members elected b the . . a Y . .. . 9 5 , . .. . principals of the schools which participate in the societys activities. Committee members are chosen for a term of three years, sixteen being chosen annually at a regular meeting. The other, or executive committee, is elected by and from the Advisor Committee and is made u of a resident three vice- residents a treasurer, Y' a I h D 1 . 7 an executive secretar and the retirinv vresiclent. lt is to these two frou s that all Yv ' . as local groups look for advice and guidance. The annual meeting of the society is held at the same time and place as that of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Each chapter is permitted one voting representative at these annual meetings. Requirements for membership in the clubs .are also universal. Members of the Association must have earned an athletic letter in one of the four major sports ffoot- ball, baseball, basketball, trackj or two letters in minor sports. Their scholastic average for three consecutive semesters must equal or surpass the general average of their school. They must also have displayed the highest type of citizenship and scholarship. It is in this last qualification that their ideal of a high standard for boy athletes is achieved and maintained. All members are accepted only under the supervision of their principal. The boys may buy a ten-karat gold emblem, the money for which also contributes to the funds of the society. There are no further individual dues. Tuwzl 3'-ruff: X

Holrh, .Y Advertisers ' HE Advertisers on board the good ship, Lizzmlfz. consist of the five seamen who have painted the hall board advertisements for all school events for the year 1933-34. These boys have willingly given their time and skill towards making the various advertising campaigns successful. They do their painting in the third floor hall under adverse conditions, but do so cheerfully. ln the drawing of posters they try to apply art principles, and, in head-line and copy, they endeavor to follow the principles laid down for the writing of advertisements. Public Address System 0 START our cruise this year in good shape, it was found possible, as well as essential, to complete the system by which each cabin, seaman, and pilot could be reached at any time by voice, There had been several semesters of work to this end, but September fifteenth, 1933, saw the final dedication of our ship's public ad- dress system. Encouraged and guided by our captain, Mr. Meddins, Pilot Chryst, chief custodian on board ship, is credited with the engineering of the project from the standpoint of designing, building, and installing. A brief history of the development of the system was given, and illustrations of voice, radio, and phonograph records were put before the crew in the dedication program to demonstrate the uses of the system, Guest speakers for the affair included Superintendent of Schools, E. L. Breckner, and Assistant Superintendent, H. F. Hunt. Final carrying out of the plans for the installation of the system was made possible through careful and unfailing labor on the part of the electric shop and radio club. However, were it not for the funds donated for materials, etc., totaling 251,025.21 it could not have been done. Donations to the cause are as follows: Class of '29-35382, Class of '30-3100, Class of 317814, Class of '52fS147, Class of '53-396, Alumni Associationf--3120, Football Fund455157, and roll room donations-34.25. Now, it is possible that announcements concerning anything of importance to the whole crew in general, or assemblies which all seamen cannot attend may be heard throughout the ship by crew or officers in any of their separate cabins. So, to all those who brought about this convenience Lincoln seamen of the present and future owe a great debt. Twenly-arze

Downie express the ideals of the Lincoln Letter Lassies in his Playing the Game. Fifty girl mariners of the Lincoln High have earned at least one letter in after- school sports and are known as Lincoln Letter Lassies. In becoming a Lassie, each girl adopts the aim of promoting good sportsmanship, of furthering interest in girls' athletics, and of aiding in service work whenever possible. As soon as a girl has received four numerals, and measured up to the other character requirements, she is entitled to an L, a stripe on her sweater, and membership in the letter crew. Since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment the world has looked more and more to women for its leadership. Girls are now trained through high school life to fill a leading position in their homes, and communities after graduation. It is prin- cipally for this purpose, then, that such prominent clubs as the L. L. L. have been formed. Participation in those clubs is a training cruise in itself since it prepares girls for their responsibilities of the future. Included on the years program of this active group were an initiation last fall, a stunt put on between halves at the Thanksgiving football game, the sale of horns and confetti at games, participation in Lincoln's clean-up week, assistance in distributing creeds for the Girls' Club, two swimming parties, and a May house party at Spanaway Lake. Lassies also act as coaches and student leaders for girls' sports, and they discuss problems arising in girls' athletic activities. 7'11'en!y-llvref' W
