l 1 elected ofiicers and were getting acquainted. Murrell Johnson became first semester president, John Hanson, vice-president, Don Easterday, secretary, Bob Harmon, treasurer, Richard Brooks, editor, Glenn Large, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Lillian Lewis filled the place of class sponsor which Miss Woodburn vacated when she lcft the school. Elizabeth Barber and Arnold Kleinebecker were chosen to represent the class on the student council. Bettie Willson and Virginia Faulkner were elected to the all girls council. We scored another victory in winning the unanimous decision over the juniors in interclass debates when the subject was argued: Resolved, that the present day newspaper constitutes a more harmful than beneficial influence on the public at largef, The sophomore team, composed of Gordon Wyland, Ruth Grossman and Philip Brownell, upheld the negative side, winning the debate and the respect of the upper- classmen. The second semester president was jack Morris, vice-president, Harriet Daly, secretary, Richard Brooks, treasurer, Dorothy Charleson, editor, Richard Carlsen, sergeant-at-arms, Graydon Scott. ln April the sophomores presented their annual assembly. Charlotte Cornell danced, a group of boys staged a tumbling act called Rolling Stones, the sophomore orchestra presented several numbers, Dudley Cook played his Xylophone, Horace Munger gave a tap dance and Alice Quigle, accompanied by Dorothy Charleson, gave a musical reading. Unexpectedly we were juniors. Dick Mulliner was chosen president, Don Easterday, vice-president, Bruce Thorpe, secretary, Porter Cannon, treasurer, Frances French, editor, and Richard Carlsen, sergeant-at-arms. Ilene Baker, Elizabeth Barber, Philip Brownell, Harriet Daly, Arnold Kleinebecker, Jack Morris and Bettie VVillson were the junior representatives on the student council. Theona Steele, Mar- garet Lawlor, Lois Brooks and Ilene Baker representd the class on the all girls league council. The class of twenty-nine contributed a girls tumbling act and an animated clog dance by Dorothy McKensie to the all-school assembly, and during the second half of the year they gave the junior play, Captain Applejacle, one of the most successful plays of the year. The second semester junior offices went to Harold Peterson, president, Verne Fanton, vice-president, John Hanson, secretary, Charles Armstrong, treasurer, Maurice Gillett, editor, and Paul Batty, sergeant-at-arms. The term was brought to a close by the olympics, in which the juniors proved themselves good sports in defeat as in victory, and by the dance given by the juniors in honor of the seniors at the Scottish Rite temple. Hal we were seniors and launched into our last swift year in Lincoln high. ls it an exaggeration to say that, as we found our places in auditorium home room on that first morning of school in early fall, there was not one of us but felt that his senior year would be the most exhilarating and eventful period of his high school life? For we remember how, as underclassmen, we looked upon the seniors and aspired after the dignity of their position, dreaming of the time when we should wear their mantle of superiority with familiar grace, and of the conquests we should stage in the role. That we build toward a goal which upon attainment we found shorn of much of its glamour speaks no ill of our particular class, nor was it unnatural that we should assume that senior air of flowing complacency. After all, when the first disappointment of not feeling mature and staid had past, we recognized the inferiority of the sophomores and juniors and lost no time in putting on a senior manner, and we will admit that the members of no foregoing class were better actors. Charles Armstrong, habitual serious smile, rebellious hair and all, was the choice of the january seniors for president. The class showed its excellent taste in electing the following lugubrious and artistic assortment for the other offices: Porter Cannon, vice-president, Marion Ball, secretary, Elizabeth Seaton, treasurer, Reed Sartor, editor, and Herbert Myers, sergeant-at-arms. -gg-

5 my-.f - J T YC' ' ig' John Hanson, the casual blue-eyed boy with a drawl, drew his fifth class office, this time becoming president of the June senior class. Philip Brownell, vice-president, and Bettie Willson, secretary, represented the student council among the class officers, and Theona Steel, class treasurer, was a member of the all girls league council. Harry Foster, editor, and Don Easterday, sergeant-at-arms, filled in, as it were, for the athletic faction. Among the leaders who represented us on the student council were Ilene Baker, Elizabeth Barber, Philip Brownell, Porter Cannon, ,Timmy Chappell, Dorothy Charleson, Ruth Holmes, Paul Miles, Bettie VVillson and Arnold Kleinebecker, un- assuming president of the organization. Because of ineligibility, winter graduation and pupils leaving school there were several vacancies in the council. These were filled by Paul Calhoun. Dick King, John Hanson, Bill Crooks and llflargaret Lawlor. On the all girls council the senior representatives were Lois Brooks, llflargaret Clapp, Dorothy Orr, Breta Peterson, Betty Seaton and Theona Steele. Later Harriet Daly, Jean Speiser and Pauline Thompson were chosen to fill vacancies. Senor color day rarely fails to carry with it a spirit not soon to be forgot. But ours was particularly successful. The extraordinary character of our class was typically manifest in the fact that though some six hundred of us crossed the audi- torium stage not one of us was hurt in descending those treacherous steps on either side. The girls wore white dresses, green and white ruffs around their necks and green satin masks, while the boys were in dark suits, bandoleers and masks. The class song, written by Dorothy Qrr to original music by Harriet Daly, was sung, then we sat down and pushed our masks up on our foreheads to see, without looking cross-eyed, who were sitting next to us. A one-act play, Sauce for the G03-Iings, was presented, and a senior court was held for the trial of several prominent members. Early in December the seniors presented their play, The Kangaroos, a comedy by Victor Mapes. Jean Speiser with Paul Gilbert and Judith Larson with Reinholdt Wink added much to the humor of the play by their contrasting heights. In the winter graduations the class of twenty-nine was decreased by IIS seniors. Evelyn Lyon and Laurence Hall were senior speakers. The survivors in the class chose Bill Crooks for president during the last term and by their selection found a person who could with his resourcefulness iron out the difficulties of carrying off suc- cessfully the many important events which crowd upon the last part of the senior year. Henry Bauer and Joe Luchsinger, respectively vice-president and secretary, afforded us a novel situation at the end of the semester when it was found that they had not enough credits to be seniors and would enter the olympics against the class in which they held offices. Donald Sarbach was voted treasurer by virtue of his curly hair and enviable reputation, and the class found the position of editor appropriate for Rasche Myers and his editorial leanings. Paul Winterhalter was made the big, modest sergeant-at-arms. In the last whirl of olympics, senior party, fees., books, grades, opera, senior picnic, junior-senior party, senior sermon and graduation many of us picked up more friend- ships, it seemed, than we had found before in all the time we had been in high school. The class became more and more a group of friends and less a mere organization. When the end of the semester drew near and the realization came that the rare union of the class and all the close and casual friendships would be strained or lost with the separation of fellow students, we felt the one depressing side of graduation. And then we resolved-consciously, some of us-that the tie would not be broken. Proofs of that resolve are the signatures sprawled over the margins and last pages of this book, the book itself, the pictures exchanged with classmates, and an expression of that resolve is found in the three closing lines of the class song: We'll neler forget All our friends Tn our class of one nine two ninef' -23,
