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.

Honor Society 0 encourage and reward high attainment in scholarship, leadership, service, and character development on the part of Lincoln sailors is the purpose of the ship's Honor Society. Members of the club must have seen at least one semester's service on shipboard, must have displayed good citizenship toward the Lincoln High, have earned a stated number of service credits, according to classification,- and have received an average grade of three plus. This last requirement applies to all classes except the apprentice seamen who may be admitted with a straight B average. A constitutional amendment was made this semester changing the basis of rating to the honor roll requirements instead of the separate method used previously. Under the new system, four points are given for an Ag three, for a B, two, for a C, one, for a D3 and two points are subtracted for a failure. Members, except sophomores, must gain thirteen points a semester to remain in the society, sophomores may have only twelve points. These changes were made to facilitate record-keeping, to eliminate confusion, and to raise the qualification standard. Sophomore honor students wear black pins with one gold barg juniors, black pins with two gold bars, and seniors have round gold pins of the National Torch Society. In order to be presented with the torch pin at graduation, a senior must have earned four service credits. First semester seniors must have two service credits to remain members. In 1925, the Honor Society was established primarily in the interest of education, membership in it was to be the reward for conscientious work, and the incentive for increased study and interest in school life. The constitution was patterned after that of the National Torch Honor Society, and the Lincoln club is a branch of that organi- zation. Duringfthe year the society sponsored a Halloween party, a May banquet in the mess room, a moving picture show 'featuring scenes from a Shriner's pilgrimage to China, and an all-ship assembly at which Miss Ruth Seabury spoke on world friend- ship. The society also prepared a Christmas box for invalids in the County Hospital. T'1l'?7lly-.I ix
