Shy-well, ask Stew Newman if his mother could leave him alone today on the first day of school. A bit ot' crying maybe helped mold Stew into his great athletic abilities. Getting to school on time was quite a problem for some of us. Take Ruth Fischer and Betty Ermels, those little girls didn't have strength enough to open the Kinder- garten doorg homeward they trotted after their mothers, to come to school and open it for them at five till nine. Can you remember the birthday treats, the siege of measles, fruit showers on the teachers, and Valentines Day? All of us had the trying time of obeying the order little children should be seen and not heard. Barbara Peterson and Miss Jacobson had several sessions regarding talking without permission, consequently Barbara was seen standing in the corner with a paper towel around her mouth. Onward to the fourth grade. Several strange things occurred in our last year in the South Building. Love notes were passed from row to row by girls who thought Malcolm Lewis and Charles lVloMurray were quite the ideal. Beverly .Shrelogg and Barbara Peterson fought over Malcolm Lewis fthe coming doctorl, while Carolyn Alexander and Velva Silver were against each other over Charley. How did Billy Burns' and Betty Ermels' al'I'air turn out? Bill left the country, that year Washington Central, here we comeg Junior High offered the delight ol' having -ckers and chapel every Monday morning. Completion Day came and now we were to have a try at Lincoln High School, the one and only in our estimation. Yes, green we were, but not for long. In our Sophomore year the Music Contest was one ol' the big events, especially for Norman Stal'l'ord who won lirst place on a trumpet solo at the State Contest. The girls' trio, of which Barbara MoCollough was the soprano, went to the National Contest, and received second. ln our Junior year the play The Obstinate Bride was a great success. 'Charlotte Downard, our leading lady, murmured UNOU at the alter, instead of t'YE.S. While Juniors, the banquet was our main feature and we are right proud of the happiness and good feeling it left with everyone. We worked hard and long and we'll never forget our time with the parachute, hanging from the middle of the ceiling. Now we leave good old Lincoln High, and all the memories of our school days, hoping it will give you the same full measure of joy it has given us.
