I ya- :VTC for , s sl xr ,V l' lx then ten more diagonally southwest. This brought them to a seemingly impassable clump of dead, prickly bushes. Stooping to investigate, however, Elizabeth found a narrow, tunnel-like way through which they all crawled. The tunnel ended at the base of a rotten tree! Beside the tree and nailed to it ran a barbed wire fence leading east. The passage beside the fence was soon blocked ahead by more underbrush, but the party turned to the right and entered a small clearing. The sides of this woodsy dell were formed by a group of small birches but towards the south was a large cedar tree. Back from this tree, leading into the still denser woods, was a small, hardly discernible trail. They followed its winding course for a quarter of a mile before they reached the deserted cabin of their instruc- tions. Luella and Ferg knew at once where they were, as they had visited the place before, though by a different route. The house was situated just a little way from the path they followed when they went to get the milk! It was quite a relief to the chaperones to find that they and their charges were not lost in the middle of a forest. But to follow our cipher: The cabin had been vacant for many years and only two walls were left standing, one of which was formed by two huge trees which had fallen parallel one on top of the other, reaching to a height of about nine feet. The top trunk was covered with flourishing green plantsg on it, south of the cabin, grew a large, thick huckleberry bush! It took Dorothy only a minute to reach it, as she was the first to see the white package among its branches. Ferg did the necessary climbing and handed the package to Dorothy who was speech- less with excitement. The rest were not tongue-tied though, and casually informed her it was probably dynamite and warned her not to drop it, please. She was anxious then to relinquish her position as chief carrier, but as no one else would touch the package, she headed a silent, trembling procession homeward. As soon as they reached the lawn again, she carefully laid it down with a sigh of relief. Elizabeth bravely cut the string and the enfolding paper fell away from a cardboard box. Elizabeth raised the lid with an excited hand, then the layer of white cotton, exposing eight candy Easter eggs! There was not a sound at this unexpected disclosure, everyone just staring. Aunt Pheme broke the silence with They are probably poison, and then there was silence no longer. There was a wild jabber of voices until Elizabeth, dominating them all, volun- teered to taste one and see what would happen. Silence reigned again: there was not a voice lifted to oppose, although this act might mean her death. In breathless silence they watched her gingerly nibble the icingg in silence waited for something to happen. But nothing did, and she boldly took another and larger bite. It looked too enticing, and not waiting further developments they all joined her, none wanting to be left out, as there was just one egg apiece. It wasn't until the last delicious crumb was gone that they began to question. As the candy hadn't hurt them+at least not yet-they surmised someone had played a joke on them. But who, among themselves, could have been clever enough to think of and make such a cipher? Suspicion fell on several likely and unlikely persons, from Ferg to the cook, with no results. Suddenly a stifled gurgle from the direction of the well-house drew all eyes that way and Luella was dis- covered doubled up with laughter, rolling on the ground in her glee. With a whoop they descended upon her and there was no resisting them. As they dragged her down to the beach, all they could get out of her between gasps was that they had taken so long to find her out she couldn't hold in any longer. She was still in a laughingly helpless condition as they carried her out to the end of the floating walk. They held her grimly by hands and feet and swung her-one, two, three, splash !-into the wet, wet water! PAGE TVVENTY '

sz.. CD09 S Boys' Association Lincoln High School Boys' Association was chartered and accepted by the boys of Lincoln in September l920. This association comprises the two organizations which heretofore governed boys' activities, namely, the Boys' Club and the L. H. S. Athletic Association. As accepted, the charter called for a Board of Control which was to be made up of three faculty members and nine students. Of the nine students on the Board of Control six were to be, two boys from the Senior Class, two from the Junior Class, and one respectively from the Sophomore and Freshman Classes. The other three students, chosen at large, were to hold the offices of President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer. Results of the first election under the new organization were as follows: President-Henry Hyllengreng Vice-President-Judson Cuttingg Secretary- Treasurer-Stanley Olson: Senior Representatives-Jack Pickering and Joe Mc- Mulleng Junior Representatives-Walter Frankland and Dean Boyle, Sophomore Representative-Kenneth Johnsong Freshmen Representative-Wallace Watts. The three faculty members selected for the Board were Mr. Wells, Boys' Adviser, Mr. Green, and Mr. Thompson. With the organization work completed the members of the Board of Con- trol started to work out plans for benefiting the school. The Fire Squad was re-organized and put in good running order. A Traffic Squad, designed to relieve congestion in the halls and on the stairways, was originated through the Board and put in action. A system known to the boys as the Merit System to promote activities and the general welfare of the school was organized and is now carefully noting the activity of every boy in Lincoln, whether a Frosh or Senior. The Welfare Committee of the Board of Control has done some very good work at opportune times such as the Thanksgiving and the Christmas Drives. This Committee helped in the collection and distribution of food, clothing and other necessary articles for holiday cheer. Besides the major undertakings of the Board of Control there have been numerous others not so important but, nevertheless, having a direct bearing on school life. Some of the lesser activities are: the equipping of the athletic teams, the football squads, and the basketball teams. All of these are equipped through the Budget System, the object of which is to regulate the expenditures of each team. It is the hope of the members of the Board to place the Athletic Managers of our football, basketball, and base- ball teams in a position where they are to select equipment and distribute it, thereby making an athletic manager's job one of responsibility as well as one of just distribution of athletic material. The Boys' Association is an attempt at regulated student control of activi- ties in Lincoln and it is the desire and hope of every member of the Board of Control that the boys themselves do all they can to promote it. Due to mid-year graduation it was necessary to elect three new officers to the Board of Control- Walt Frankland was shifted to the office of President, taking Henry l-lyllengren's place. Gene Kunz was elected Senior Representative in Jack Pickering's place. Walt lVlcCloud was chosen as the junior Representa- tive to take the place of Walt Frankland who was elected President. In recognition of the service which every boy in Lincoln rendered in making the new organization a success, I take this opportunity to thank you. We hope in the future that the association may be the biggest factor in the boy's school life. 4Walter Frankland, President. PA GE T WEINTY-TYVO
