Class History The old saying, history repeats itself has certainly proved true in Lincoln High school's class of '39. Whoever would have thought Tub's little sister Ann, would be grown up enough to be graduating this spring, or Merlin's little sister Betty would be standing in line with cap and gown, or the little Boeye boy, Johnnie, besides countless others, will be lost to Lincoln High through graduation? We who started kindergarten together, sat in the little red chairs and tried to distinguish colored balls of yarn, recall our days in Lincoln High as profitable and not lost. Remember when Miss Lane tied Gertie's mouth shut with a paper towel because she was a naughty little girl and talked? Soon we had passed the days of marching up the stairs to the tune of victrola music and entered a wide, beautiful building. And, thrill of all thrills, Franny Hemingway beat up our future master yell leader, Kenny Pringle in a hard-fought, hand to hand battle! Later on, we passed into another hall of learning-senior high school, a building in which the students work harmoniously and study, and have fun on the side. And above all things, how could we forget our wonderful prom! How we hated to tear down our pretty decorations-precious blue and white bits of paper were carefully put away as souvenirs by us sentimentalists. At longblast-we are the seniors! Not stuck-up, we hope, but ones who are proud of Lincoln High, which in turn, is proud of us. Our education has just started, we are thankful for the fine courses, opportunities, teach- ings, and other activities we have received in our course of training. The year, 1939, has made alilasting impression on all our minds as our most happy and profitable year in high school. , 7 In Memoriam . ,ii,.- -' Upon graduating, the senior class experiences ,regret that? .2 there is a vacancy in the long line of seniors. ,Q up , 1 Richard Eggers, our former chum, became ill with pneu- ,, . monia during his freshman year and passedfaway. We t sincerely regret his absence, and therefore desire to dedicate this space to a boy who would most certainly have graduated with high honors. 22
