VOL. I, 1909 29 Senior History I-Ili t'lass of Nineteen-Nine ol' the Lincoln leligh School- tihe iii-st to be graduated from the school-has had a remarkable past. lt tirst bet-ame a class in September. 1905, when nine hundred Freshmen wandered up the stairs of the old Seattle High School to hear with anxious ears how they should behave in the study periods. To be sure, they were the greenest ol' the green. but that is nat1n'al-they were only Freshmen. At tirst they shied otf as the youthl'ul Sophomore strutted in their direction, but this eustoin was soon aban- doned. and by the time ot' the annual vane-rush the elass was able to take its rivals into Cilllllb and indicate its l'ut'ure great- ness by rapturing the eoveted cane.

The next year they t-ante back with none ol' their energy gone. and began another round ot' vietoi-ies by again winning the vane-rush. The football game with the infants was also added to the lengthening string ot' victories. lluriug both ot' these years the elass was divided. The year before. a part had been shiI'ted to the Summit. Now a strong section was plaeed in the Franklin. Philip XValler. of the latter, was the elass leader this year in all the various affairs. The next September found the lQint'oln High School build' ing almost completed and the Broadway overtrrowded. The students had to be separated. Some went in the morning to reritations. while others spent the afternoon at Ili-oadway. lly the end of tletober the schools were thoroughly segregated. Hardly any of the pupils living in the Lint-oln district wished to t-hange, but the rule was made that only Seniors could have the ehoire ot' attending either institution. Although they did not realize it at the time, this was the best thing that could have happened to the under-elassmen. As a result ot' there being very few Seniors at the liineoln, the under-elassmen were given a splendid opportunity to gain experienee in the various organizations. The Juniors were then supreme. The Senior year opened with bright prospects. All the athletic events were expet-ted to be suvressI'ul. Beside this the
