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

Stadium gttx away for a good gain. Varsity Football UILDING his team about five returning lettermen Coach Hopkins developed a grid squad, this season, that proved a formidable foe to all opposition. Starting somewhat badly at the beginning of the season, the Lynx steadily improved until they became a very powerful aggregation. Many times the boys' fighting spirit was shown when the Abes pulled out of close games or held much more powerful teams in check by stubborn defense. It was for this reason that the Lincoln squad was always a much- feared one. The fiery Abe mentor built his backfield around Captain Mel Miller, veteran signal caller, and the giant fullback, Leo Sabutis. Others who had positions in the backfield were Leo Reichle, Dominic Grabinski, John Manley, Fred Heany, and Ray Miller. These boys were everything a coach needed in a well-rounded backfield, for among them were speed, power, stamina, and strategy. For straight football these grid men had no equal. On the line, Leo Artoe and Alex Cook played the end positions with Bill Donnelly, Axel Peusa, and Leonard Larson ready to relieve them. At the tackle berths, co-captain Chuck Semancik and Lawrence Berglund did most of the work, while Adrian Beletski acted as reserve. Dan Virgillo and Frank Srsen battled at the guard postg and when help was needed in this position, Henry Kimball and Ray Acheson usually received the call. The center post was capably played by Don Gillis and jim Birch. This combination of men on the forward wall were well able to pound many holes in the opposing team's line, and they will go down in school history for their very fme display of defensive strength. With most of the above mentioned men leaving school before the next football season, the future does not look too promising for the Lincoln Varsity football squad. However, with such men as Leo Artoe, Frank Srsen, Axel Peusa, and Adrian Beletski on the. line and Ray Miller, Dominic Grabinski, and Fred Heany in the backfield, together with much Reserve material, Lincoln should have another formidable club next year. For the first time in twenty years of competition, Lincoln and Stadium tied for city championship honors. This was the result of a hard-fought, 0-0, tie game played on Thanksgiving day. Although the Axemen were outplayed, they managed by stiff defense to keep the score tied. The schedule: Aberdeen .... 8 Lincoln .....
