, WI iw ix-gs- ,.t,,r ..,.u president of the student council, as leader of the class for the first semester and Wendell Groth for the second half of the year. Under the skillful guidance of these officers, this enterprising class found its third year crowded with interesting meetings and parties, one of them a masquerade, the junior-senior party, an occasion when complete friendship existed between the rival classesg a tiptop assembly, and the junior play. This spirited comedy from the pen of Peter B. Kyne, Cappy Ricks, was played by an excellent cast. It was coached to perfection, and was acclaimed one of the best plays ever produced on the high school stage. From the proceeds the juniors gave fifteen dollars to the wall fund. Olympics! Though the juniors contributed their share of noise and muscle to the fray, they downed their colors to the seniors who won the olympics. And then, the climax! The month of September besides bringing with it such trivial matters as state fair, record-breaking rainfall for Lincoln and vicinitv, and the inability of France to pay her war debt, ushered in the senior class of IQ27. So, all hail to the seniors, the glorious seniors, seniors in all their might, seniors who enjoyed the meekness of the ignorant freshmen, held in check the enthusiastic sophomores. and snubbed the ambitious efforts of the juniors! The first social activity of these mature seniors was a party held in the girls gymnasium on the evening of December '3, 1926. An orchestra furnished first class music and, to the delight of all present, refresh- ments were served. But the main feature was the absolutely non-fake fortune telling by Miss Louise Miller. ' ' On senior color day every member of the class came before the school in a jockey cap of orange and white, with a fetching little bow tie to match. The seniors, it is whispered, enjoyed to the unmost the stir of awe and envy which greeted them in every class. In the assembly given in the morning, the seniors were led across the stage by George Koster, president of the class. The audience remained standing while the seniors sang their songs to the tunes of The Sweetheart Chorus from The Chocolate Soldier and High-Ho the Merry 0. The class colors were predominant in decorations and costuming for the program, which consisted of a dance bv Anita Johnston and Hazel lVIeier, songs by girls quartet, and a one-act play, Wisdom Teeth. So This Is London, the senior play presented on Friday and Saturday, Decem- ber I6 and 17, is a comedy written by George M. Cohen. It deals with the false conceptions that the English and Americans have of each other. The final reconcilia- tion of the two families involved is brought about by the fact that -14 meriea and God Save the King are sung to the same tune. , On January 21, 1927, one hundred and, fifty members of the senior class re- ceived the highest award for consistent scholarship which Lincoln high school can bestow when they were given their diplomas of graduation. Dr. Walter Aitken de- livered the senior sermon, and Cora Knott and Frank Roehl were senior speakers. In an effort to bridge the gap made by the graduation of these valuable mem- bers of their flock, the rest of the class chose Robert Danielson for their president, and performed wonderfully during the last eventful semester. Among other feats, they won the basketball championship almost single handed! Came the end, as the movies have it. We are leaving the Eden of our school- days. But we shall be unafraid, for friendship and opportunity await us, and the world is all before us, where to choose. -19-
