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

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

Girls' Cllu MimAc1xNo every girls' activity on shipboard, and giving each girl an equal chance to aid the smooth sailing of Lincoln High. our Girls' Club is completing its second year of existence. As soon as a girl sailor signs on The Ljllflijll. she is automatically a member of the club. She is then allowed to choose work under one of the three departments: the service, social, or physical activities. Such committees as the Fellowship, P. T. A., Talent, Program, Standard, Big and Little Sister, Scrapbook, and Entertainment make up the social division. Work of this department included the management of a girls' mixer, a girls' dance, a mixed matinee dance, and three sophomore parties, the welcoming and entertaining of new sophomore girls, the formulation of a code of standards for girls, the maintenance of a scrapbook, the provision of flowers and arrangement of programs for girls' assemblies. Members of the department also supplied girls to give weekly music lessons at the Community House, and aided the P. T. A. in meetings and parties. Service work of the club is done by the Philanthropic, Emblems, Lost and Found, Decorations, Publicity, Housekeeping, Ushers, and Vocational committees. Girls of this division superintended the Lost and Found department, helped in decorating for Christmas and the Football rally, decorated the stage for the Christmas cantata, supplied flowers for the library, office, and teachers' rest room, managed the Thanks- giving drive, made Girls' Club posters, sponsored a bun sale, conducted a vocational assembly, helped in making a success of clean.up week, ushered for the Senior class play, the opera, and the Bandrama, sewed emblems for the Knights and the Printers' Club, superintended the property room, and were on duty in the girls' locker room. The L. L. L. and Tuna Clubs, all girls' athletics, the student leaders and coaches, and the University of Wasliington posture parade are under the direction of the physical activities department.
