Though it does not suit our prestige to bow too low in recognition of those who will carry on, still in passing we deem it permis- sible to note their progress. Hdmitted for the time being that it is virtually impossible to duplicate our record, the underclassmen have shown already that they are Willing to try to live up to the precedent We have set. The sponsors of a class must take the brunt of the responsibility in seeing to it that 27 the class plays, the parties, and other acti- vities go off smoothly. Consequently we men- tion Miss Ruth Hall, Miss Emma Beekmann, Miss Gertrude Iones, and Miss Irene Martin as women whom any class should be proud to have as sponsors. Perhaps a clue to their future glory may be found in their past accomplishments. The Ptdvocate and Scribe staffs are composed of underclassmen. The winners of this years interclass debate were juniors. Many of the stellar athletes that represent Lincoln high in intra-school competition come from these so-called youngsters .

Qppointed by these officers were many committees, extensive in per- sonnel, that directed the senior color day, the class day, the senior party, and senior picnic. This year, more than usual, the winning personality of the officers was expressed through the medium of routine home room announcements and 'imaster of ceremony- ingu at the class social affairs.

28 CLHSS OF 1941 CHBINET Richard Mahatfy Betty Hertzler Robert Wilson Helen Bennett Robert True Gilbert Ryder Hnn Seacrest FIRST SEMESTER CLHSS OF 1942 CHBINET Richard Wink lohn Coulter Ianice Marx Ieanne Rotton George Howard Mariellen McFarland 10B CHBINETS The several hundreds making up the sophomore class of '42 are ably served by a cabinet composed ot the presidents ot the various junior high civic league organiza- tions throughout the city. Because the incoming sophomores are not well acquainted with each other, this system of choosing a cabinet has been Worked out to insure qualified leadership, Our main grievance that we can voice against these pure souls is that every Tuese day they chased us from our hallowed home in the auditorium so they could listen to lectures by Mr. Mardis about the institu- tion known commonly as Lincoln high. Too young to be represented on the coun- cil, they still are able to get a satisfying taste ot school lite by their contact with the home room representatives, their participation in clubs, and their attendance ot school per- torrnances.
