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.

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

Boys, Club HE Lincoln Boys' Club set out with flying colors on its first year's work as the largest group on board. Its organization is patterned after that of the Girls' Club, and its work also corresponds to theirs. It is divided into three departments, one of which each Lincoln boy.sailor is privileged to join upon his entrance here, it is headed by an executive council of eight, and it is advised by three faculty members. The service department has taken as a motto, lf it's for Lincoln, were for it, which is the ever-present reminder to its members of their duty to the ship. This group furnishes policemen at football games, supplies locker-room guards, decorates the stage of the forecastleg and supports clean-up week, atnong other duties. Another example of its work this term was an assembly given on April eighteenth by the voca- tional committee. In preparation for this, a questionnaire was sent to every boy in the school. He was instructed to check the item in which he was most interested, in order that the most popular vocation might be determined. Coaching of athletics was voted for by a majority, they were addressed on that subject by Coach Sandberg of the Col- lege of Puget Sound. Social work of the club is undertaken by the social department. During the cruise its members appointed chairmen for all committees required by the constitution, spon- sored two assemblies, and aided the service division in supplying vocational guidance for boys. Noteworthy among its activities was the formulation of a set of standards drawn up for boys. These standards included the general rules for making and acknowledging introductionsg refraining from staring and pointing, showing respect for elders, acknowledging personal favors and invitations, returning borrowed property promptly, speaking and laughing quietly, and keeping one's hands to one's self. In addition to these, courtesy standards were outlined for use in the halls, lunch room, street, street cars, club meetings, games and contests, school functions, locker rooms, class rooms, and assemblies. All boys' sports are superintended by the various committees of the physical de- partment. These workers also arranged and recorded Decathlon contests, organized a Hiking Club, re-organized a Tumbling Club, and sponsored an assembly emphasizing the importance and methods of preventing the spread of colds.
