HK l A - .wl.lNKS:1 , Class History My country 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee we sing. These words which have stirred men's hearts since the birth of our nation. swelled from the throats of some four hundred earnest freshmen who were receiving their initiation to Lincoln high school at the gracious hands of the student council. And yet, the tune might well, or even better, have been The Hfearin' o' the Green. For, although these incoming students haughtily declined to take the elevator to room 424, and warily refused to buy a ticket to the junior assembly, they were as gullible as the average freshie . Having entered in the fall of '23 with a desire to become definitelv a vital part of the high school organization, these scorned and badgered freshmen absorbed knowl- edge with avidity, took an active interest in sports and debate, and contributed freelv and willingly to the plays presented by the superior upperclassmen.
