Radiant with bright notebooks, well polished shoes and great ex' pectations, we filed into our home rooms. Im' mediately bulletins, hand books and program cards descended upon us. At noon, fearful of being late to class, we gulped our sandwiches hastily, only to stand about the halls for ten minutes impatiently waiting for the bell to ring. Upon occasion we were wont to say that high school was perfectly duckie feveryone said duckie thenj and that we were not frightened, at least, not much. After all, why should we have been frightened? Were we not pioneers in a glamorous enterprise? When problems of registration no longer harassed us, we had our irst fling in a social way at a party given by the student council. A varied and enter' taining program, which included speeches, dancing, short sketches and music, was furnished by the clubs. We were then conducted about the building by our hosts and hostesses, and its wonders were disclosed to us. The quantity of refreshments conf sumed that afternoon was mute evidence of the sucf cess of this gala affair. Our sophomore cabinet members, former civic league presidents from the junior high schools were Betty Keefer, Rita Shea, Mary Sherburne, Mary Louise Speidell, Nan Talbot, Oakley Davis, Kenneth Fahrenbruch, William Pfeiff and Herman Rohrig. They filled the places of the last semesters cabinet which had included Katherine Carveth, Marian Kidd, Mary Margaret Maly, Mary Sher' burne, Herbert Cooper, William Marshall and Robert Martin. As representatives to the student council we elected Marian Kidd and William Cochrane. Classes may come and classes may go, but elecf tions go on forever. To solve our problems from january to june we elected William Pfeiff, class president, Marian Kidd, vice president, Ralph Tyler, secretary and George Ayers, treasurer. With our class sponsors, Miss Marguerite Gundermann and Mrs. Lillian Lawson as advisers, and with such able officers, our class was guided safely through the turbulent sophomore year. The first lap of our journey was over and we were juniors. Registration, physical examinations and seniors no longer abashed us. All the talk was of this club and that assembly and of how small the sophomores looked. A duck with red and black ribbons about his neck was led about at the football games by our loyal sons. For the first time in his' tory we went to real polls to vote. In our hearts was a warm and sincere affection for Lincoln high school, in our minds a determination to place a mile stone of merit along our road to greater things. Our increased importance in school affairs def manded the best leaders that could be found. We got them when we chose Marian Kidd, William Pfeiff, Herman Rohrig and Ralph Tyler to be our president, vicefpresident, secretary and treasurer, ref spectively. Not less capable were our student council members, Marian Kidd, Betty Keefer, Mary Hester, Robert Martin, Richard DeBrown and Adna Dobson. Their fine leadership and our cofopera- tion were a combination hard to match. At least that is what we thought until after the olympics when the seniors proved their superior brute strength and won the struggle by twelve points. But then, as a learned man once said, 'You can't always win. The abundance of triumphs during our junior year was sufficient proof that one defeat did not make a seasonful. The record breaking feats of Paul Beck, William Pfeiff, Herman Rohrig and their fellow athletes will not soon be forgotten. George Mueller gathered glory for our class by winning the state extemporaneous speaking contest. Ralph Tyler, Jane Welch, and Zellma Matheny received three of the eight superior ratings won in the state music contest. Drama, art and composition, each contributed its share of the laurels. We were modern. pioneers and each vicf tory was another step in the all important conquest of life. Bringing a thrilling season to a brilliant close, came the junior play, which gave to the patrons of Lincoln high school drama that ragged, roguish, for' ever lovable Huck Finn. The play laughed itself through three acts and the audience laughed with it. Warren Romans and Hal Hoerner played ad' mirably their roles of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. To the talented cast, to the littlefseenfbutfmuchfapf preciated managers, and to the director, Miss Frances McChesney, we give all praise for their realistic interpretation of this beloved classic. 1:23
