It was the same ship that had previously carried many passengers to the harbor of great wisdom. For us it was a great day for we were setting sail over new and untried waters in quest of The Fountain of Perfect Understanding.” On this eventful morning we came, one by one, and were prepared for any kind of adventure. Entering into the hold of the ship, we were pushed around from place to place until finally we were gathered and placed under the kindly supervision of Miss JIassler. At first we were strangers, but after a few days the usual intimacy that springs up between fellow beings in suffering came about and things became a little more pleasant. So our group, hopeful and enthusiastic, sailed for a few weeks with Mr. Smiley as captain and various other persons, now well known to us, as mates and midshipmen. In the meantime the tide of our averages began to ebb and flow, the waves of examination questions sometimes tried their best to overwhelm us, but few succeeded. We could easily sympathize with those who were overcome for probably we had hair-breadth escapes. We had hard work with our first year Algebra, probably because it seemed perplexing. Hut through the course of four years we had one boy who surpassed his classmates in this line. This person is none other than George Lucak. Those who came from Tremont school recall one peaceful morning when the following conversation ensued between the fourth grade teacher and George. “George,” she said, “if I cut this slice of steak in two, what will I have?” “Why. halves,” said George. “Yes, and if I cut those in half? “Quarters,” he said. “And if I cut those in half “Eighths,” said George. “And if I cut those in half, what then?” “Sixteenths, he answered. “And George, if I cut those in half?” Then finally George answered, “Aw! you’ll have hamburger. Time passed on and we got over the first attack of seasickness. Then one day we were called into the hold of the ship for we were to take part in the annual “Candy Bazaar.” What new interest we took in our work for we were to mingle with juniors and seniors! We built our own booths, and even picked our several persons to represent our class. It was on this same evening that Wilbur Dicus had to take a rowboat back home because he ate too much fudge. Once more wc pulled anchor and started on our journey to the “Fountain of Perfect Understanding.” which seemed farther and farther away. We even began to wonder if the good ship “Lincoln High School” would ever take us that far. However we sailed on and tried to get as close as possible to our goal. Even during our second year of cruising we began to worry over our orations. We saw ourselves before the school, with our knees vibrating like violin strings and hair standing on end and we wondered, “Will it be a success?” But THE LINCOLN LOG Page 15 the inevitable happened and we felt well repaid for our efforts, even thinking, “how much better I could do it if I were to do it over again.” On our way we came in the path of Cicero and his tricky conspirators. Over him we passed several sleepless nights. Speaking of things which are hard to understand reminds us of Clyne Crawford’s mysterious nick-name “Corns.” But this we can easily explain as he was always at the foot of his slass. About this time we were busy with our social activities. Our class was always well represented at the school dances, almost every boy being able to dance. Several of our classmates were members of the orchestra which sometimes furnished music for our dances and entertainments. We are even winning fame in the athletic line. Several girls of our class including Sylvia Thorpe, are surpassing those in their line. The football team of 1920 was composed of six of our number. Three of our boys, Harry Staten, Clinton Crevoisie and Kenneth Adams have played on this year’s basket-ball team. We only regret that they are unable to finish the season with their splendid work in the basket-ball line. It was in our times that the boys brought home two trophies from the Berea Tournament. These were the only cups won by our school in the athletic line but we sincerely hope that they are not the last two. In February of 1920 we were organized as a class. We chose our officers and could now act as a unit. “Bob” Wicland was elected president and filled this position very well. The girls of our class will never forget Bob’s fascinating smile. He took the ship in hand and steered us to some very amusing entertainments. At one of the class parties, Bessie Miller’s most highly prized photograph vanished. Of course we have only one person to suspect. But good for him, for he has returned it. On this same evening Marian Ash found out what effect hypnotism had on curious little girls. Stephanie Sentena learned how to thread the needle with one eye, and Clara Wise found out that she was too extravagant. So we finished the evening and all came early next morning except Clyne Crawford. Miss Van Fleet asked him why he was tardy and he said it was because he couldn’t get there on time. When it comes to tardiness, we’ll agree that Clyne stands at the head of the class. Each day we are drawing closer to our goal and wonder who will be the first to taste of the “Fountain of Perfect Understanding.” We’ll admit that we have prospects of great business men in Sam Silberman. One afternoon he said that he was once mistaken for President Wilson, but Arthur interrupted and said he was mistaken for Mr. Roosevelt. Then Sam said, “One evening I was standing on the corner; a policeman looked at me and said, ‘Christopher Columbus, you here again ?’ ” Once more we use the proverb. “As a man soweth, so shall he reap.” Those who have proven themselves worthy of the highest honors were chosen as Commencement speakers. The captain and his mates have settled on Grace Tompkins, Thelma Hobson, Clinton Crevoisie, Clara Wise. Helen Kyle, Robert Wieland and Arthur Malucky. Again we turn to our ship and find that at the termination of four years it has left us far away from our goal, toward which we must travel by the same hard work that we have heretofore undergone. Why is it that every senior feels sad and blue on his last day of school? Isn’t it l ecause he feels that he has spent four of the happiest years at school? Yes, and it is at that time that he wishes it were his first day. We have now one ambition, that is to receive our sheepskins, our reward for four hard and pleasant years after which we must go on in the same spirit in search of the “Fountain of Perfect Understanding.” Henry Monkowski, Jan., ’21. Page 16 THE LINCOLN LOG (klass THE CRYSTAL GAZER A ISTEN, O, ye fellow students! Listen all ye here assembled to the words of love and wisdom from the lips of one who knows you—one who sees into the future, knows what lies before each dear one, feels the joy and feels the sorrow you must meet upon the way. I have spent the day in silence and in thinking hard and deeply and so prepared to read the crystal I shall now its secrets reveal, for the mist of the future is passing and the spirit of prophesy descends on me and envelops me with her mystic chains. I say unto you, it hath been given to me and to dream strange things, and to see strange visions of the days that are yet to be. As I gaze into the clear bright crystal the colors blend and melt into each other. Mists are shifting about and I discern moving about in the dim shadows the familiar faces of my classmates now changed and transformed into the citizens of a dim new world. I can see our beloved president in all his majestic bearing as the president of our nation -for his ambition ever led him upward and onward till he attained that high goal for which he sought. As I gaze—the door of a home swings open before my vision—and 1 behold a household happy and blessed by a woman who has found her greatest ambition as the maker and keeper of a home. Truly my soul rejoices as 1 recognize her to be Helen Kyle. Even as I watch, the home lights die away, and the nerve-wracking notes of a jazz orchestra come upon my ears, and here whom do 1 sec but Hortense Fer guson, waving her arms about wildly, vainly attempting to direct the orchestra. Green fields, bright ribbons of river, meadows and pastures now roll along. Here is an enormous prosperous looking farm, buildings of the most modern kind are set on it—there are machines of every type in the barn and I behold the midst of all this, Kenneth Adams. He is running the farm along strictly scientific lines. In the busy office of one of our large dailies I can sec Viola Calta sitting before a desk piled high with correspondence from love-sick individuals, silly boys and girls and from sensible business men and women. For she is conducting the Martha Lee column of the News. The picture fades and the glass reveals a sun-baked tennis court. A match is being waged for the world championship in tennis. It is not hard to recognize the long, lithe figure of our friend Clync Crawford. On an electric sign over one of the Keith’s Theatres the name of Grace Bauer appears. She has joined the Ziegfield Follies and is now one of their chief attractions. Stella Bogtisz appears amidst wealth and luxury. She is a millionaress. having started as a private secretary and won the heart of her employer. The picture passes. I sec the grand old walls of a historic cathedral in England where a stately minister in his robes of dignity pours forth words of inspiration into the ears of sinners about him—truly it is Wilbur Dicus himself! His white robes fade in the distance and there emerges from the background a number of little tables occupied by chattering youths and maidens. They have come for a sip and a bite to the tiny shop of Ruth Hugo. THE LINCOLN LOG Page 17 Henry Monkowski appears marching down a street decorated with flags and bunting at the head of a band—second only to Sousa’s. Some altogether peculiar, weird and inexplicable fancy led Grace Tompkins to establish a curio shop in Persia where she studies obsolete languages in her spare moments. Again the scene changes—and we are in the midst of the professional circles—in a large office, mahogany furniture and all, sits a fat, prosperous looking lawyer, Lawrence Reimer, the boy who, in our High School days had not yet learned to lie. Thus does veracity bring its reward. Helen Root is the successful author of many l ooks—those lying on her shelf now are—“How to Keep a Husband,” “How Women May Dominate,” “How to Manage Men.” As I look again I can see among the society circles of that far-off time two most dazzling and brilliant figures belonging to Rita Erb and Bessie Miller. Ah, this is Paris! Since so many women have taken away men’s jobs, Frederick Hey has turned his attention to Beauty Culture. He now runs an enormous establishment in that fair city. Rose Hoffman now comes into my scope of vision, she appears as the head of a finishing school for select young ladies. George Lucak, with his grace and comlincss dances from out of the shadows. He has become famous as a member of the Ballet Russe. Bonita Witt has married an English nobleman and now lives in London. She is also serving in the House of Commons and has, as her most intimate friend, Lady Astor. Verily, how Russel has changed! I now see him as a master violinist—his iron gray hair is flowing in ripples over his shoulders and his tie is frayed and worn—his clothes are threadbare—but he seems not to be aware of it—he lives only for his art. Grace Dittman is wasting her sweetness on desert air—she is a designer of clothes for women in the tropics. The white heat of the tropics merges into a scene of snow and ice. Hazel Buhl appears in the midst of it. She is conducting a matrimonial bureau for Eskimos. A large building! Why it is a convent! A fair lady disappointed in some love affair has become a nun. Her name is lost—she is only Sister Dolores, but it seems I recognize the dimples and the sweet face of Clara Wise. It is odd under what striking circumstances some of our old friends appear. Here is Marion Ash working as a prison reformer. How her face lights up with animation as she speaks before those hard-looking grisly, hoary old crooks and gamesters. Truly. Marion, you have our best wishes for success in the work you have chosen. Here is a lady’s boudoir, silk hangings, soft cushions, a scheme of rose and white. Thelma Hobson is having her hair dressed by a maid, for she is a lady of leisure—rather inclined to settlement work, late suppers and innocent dissipations. The operating room of a hospital gradually takes shape. In it are grave old physicians bending over a still body. They look up and turn to Dr. Malucky—an eminent authority. It is rather hard to recognize him behind his Van Dyke beard and monocle. Among Dr. Malucky‘s most valued assistants is Lauretta Popp. How capable and sweet she looks in her immaculate cap and gown! Page 18 THE LINCOLN LOG One of our number, Clinton Crevoisic, appears in the wilds of the woolly west. He is a cowboy of wonderful bravery and a typical villain of romance. From the depths of the class a tall figure approaches. Broad of shoulders and deep of chest. She speaks in deep stentorian tones. I can hardly believe that this is the once slim little Grace Ambrose. I see thru the mists, but very dimly, a caravan approaching over the dreary undulations of the desert. A figure stands out very plainly. High upon the back of a camel sits Sam Silverman. He is transporting rain coats to Egypt, where he makes great sales almost every day. What’s all this commotion in the corner of the House of Commons! It is a Sinn Fciner agitating for some issue. I look closer. Do my eyes deceive me? It is a woman. Her fiery spirit diffuses itself among her listeners. Yes, it is, as my prophetic soul, foretold me—Siby Thorpe. The pictures are gone. The colors are again blending, melting, and merging into each other. The glass is becoming clear. I am sorry the visions are over, but I am comforted wit!} the assurance that they are true. Stephanie Sentena, Jan. 20 (Class Ultll E, the Class of January, 1921, in full possession of a crammed mind, untrained memory and superhuman understanding, and about to pass out of this sphere of education do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament: First, we direct that our final obsequies be conducted by our friends, classmates and especially by the evcr-competent faculty who have guarded us so long, asking only as a last wish of the dying that the funeral be carried out with due dignity, pomp, and ceremony which ought to be accorded to us. Item 1. We give and bequeath to the dear faculty who have been our instructors in the wisdom of the ages, sweet dreams and restful nights. They need no longer lie awake and wonder whether this one or that has done her home work. They need no longer give up their week-ends to marking for they have discharged their work dutifully and well. Item 2. To our faculty we also leave all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our test papers. We hope that they will feel at liberty to use all such bits of wisdom and enlightenment for the education of future classes as well as for their own benefit. That, of course, is left to their personal discretion. Item 3. To Miss Van Fleet, our home room teacher, we give our profound admiration and enduring friendship. Item 4. We give and bequeath to all our successors our wonderful class and school spirit. We hope they will become so thoroughly steeped in it that the school will never suffer for the lack of it. Item 5. We also give and bequeath to our successors in the 12B Class as a whole, Wilbur Dicus’s finished art of bluffing. Item 6. To the 12B girls, we give the example of the girls of the Class of '21—their modest looks and their grave and reverend mien. THE LINCOLN LOG Page 19 Item 7. To all future class presidents, we leave Bob Wieland's efficiency as such. Item 8. To Miss Mallory, we leave Ilortense Ferguson’s musical ability to dispose of as she pleases. Item 9. To all future aspirants as football stars, we leave the ability of Marry Staten, Wilbur Dicus, Henry Monkowski and Bob Wieland. Item 10. We leave to the 12B Class our scats in the auditorium. We also leave to the 12B Class our dignity, trusting they will realize its vast importance. Item 11. Any cuds of gum or stubs of pencils, erasers and scraps of paper that we may leave behind, we generously leave to any one that may wish to use them. Item 12. Lastly, we leave all memories of our good times to the old school itself. All the rest and residue of our property of whatever nature and quality it may be, we leave behind to Mr. Smiley to be disposed of for the good of all future classes. We hereby constitute and appoint Mr. Smiley as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1921—the testators have to this, our will, set hands and seal this 20th day of January, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one.

That it is the aim of most of the girls of Lincoln High to join the Glee Club is shown whenever there is a tryout. A short time ago the Club voted in eleven new members, making a total of fifty-two. This last year the Club has found time to do many kind acts. At Thanksgiving several families were aided and again at Christmas time they, together with the other musical organizations of the school, again brought good cheer.

As we go to press we are unable to tell the outcome of the debate but all hope it will be a “clean” win for Lincoln. Commerce High School is hard to beat in a debate and Lincoln has never registered a victory over them. The boys with Mr. Monks as coach are working hard and are confident of success. The question is “Resolved: That American ships engaged in coastwise trade should be allowed to pass thru the Panama Canal without payment of tolls.” Lincoln has the negative. The second debate will be held with West Tech at Lincoln. Lincoln submitting the question. The date set is March 4. The team won both debates last year and if this year’s team win both debates we will have a chance for a cup.

They have worked hard in anticipation of the day when all schools are to meet in competitive drill. All are sure that Lincoln stands the best chance “to walk away” with the prize when the contest is held. Last year Co. A. under Capt. Say made a very creditable showing and under Capt. Keim this year, expects to do even better. At the present time Co. A is the best drilled unit in the school. This is mainly due to the efforts of the officers and non-coms. Capt. Carpenter has made a very creditable showing with Co. B., and Co. C. has progressed very well with Capt. Vetrovsky. The rule in regard to the wearing of uniforms has been enforced much more strictly than it was last year. As a result when a company goes out to drill it is viewed with far more respect than it was when here and there along the line was a fellow in civilian clothes. This year the freshmen were dropped from training. The result was that more interest in the work was shown and a lot of foolishness was done away with. The military training this year is under the direction of Serg. Sherman, who has had much experience in drilling recruits. Under his leadership Lincoln expects to be a strong contender for the cup which last year was won by East Tech. The officers who have received commissions are: Major R. Simmons Adjutant L.

Cleveland THE ANNUAL Now that the feverish activity attendant upon the issuance of this annual is a thing of the past we may reflect a little upon the events which led to its publication. The first annual ever issued by a Lincoln graduating class appeared last year as a result of the efforts of the June, 1920, class. Upon seeing it the 12A class decided that they also wanted an annual and after much discussion as to the advisability of issuing an Annual in the middle of the school term, it was finally decided that the staff of the Log, together with the graduating class should undertake the task. The name, Annual, may not seem appropriate for a book appearing as this does in the middle of school year but as the members of the class have pointed out it would really be an Annual if the practice of issuing such a book is continued by future January classes. The decision to have an Annual was not made until late in the school term and this together with the fact that the graduating class is small, has resulted in-the throwing of all the work into the hands of a few students. These few. though, have responded nobly, and on the whole, the Editor feels that the result is worth the effort expended. Much credit is also due those pupils who, though not members of the staff, or the graduating class, have made this book possible through their work in the advertising and circulation departments. All things considered the Editor believes that the wisest plan in the future would be to combine the Annuals of the January and June classes into one large book to be issued at the close of the school year. But as before stated, the January class did not wish to wait until June for their Annual and so we have this book. By combining these two publications much needless work and expense would be saved, both for the seniors and for the readers; moreover, a larger and better book would result. However, the matter is in the hands of future January classes and it is quite likely that what I say here will have but little weight with them for a class naturally wants its own individual Annual. Seniors, the 12B class bids you Adieu, with sincerest wishes that your success in school may continue through life. We of the 12B class are looking forward, not without a feeling of sadness, to the day when we also, shall join the ranks of the great Alumni of our school. Until then, au revoir. —The Editor. Page 48 THE LINCOLN LOG fttfrrarij CONFESSION OF A SENIOR Anonymous I, a seasoned senior (English teacher will kindly note alliteration), do hereby confess the crimes I have been a partner in and some of the foolishness our class has committed. First—To give an example of the brilliancy displayed during our freshman year, I recall the answer “Tensy” Ferguson gave in Latin class after showing a great lack of knowledge concerning the gender of a word. Mr. Dunham: “Hortense, what is gender?” Hortense: “Gender shows whether a man is masculine, feminine or neuter.” Whereas Mr. Dunham decided that freshmen are freshmen, no matter how good looking they are. After a few more displays of this sort on the part of all the class, we sorrowfully decided that we were not the “pumpkins” we thought we were and when Harry Staten was asked how many classes of students there were in High School, he sighed and said, “Two. us freshmen and the students.” As we grew older our ability for doing and saying the wrong thing increased. History class was a place for many anti-brilliant answers, for instance: Miss Molony, “Roger, what are the characteristics of the Romanesque style of architecture?” Roger Waite, “Why, the sides hold the roof up.” This plainly shows that other classes have their brainy students, also. Likewise this— Miss Molony: “George, what was the German diet? George Murray: “Well, they had a Diet of Worms.” But Henry Monkowski was not to be beaten and so this results: Miss Molony: “Henry, what is a cardinal?” Henry Monkosky: “A bird.” Even our validictorian, Grace Tompkins, has been known to answer this intelligently: Mr. Van Horn: “Grace, I want you to explain the theory to me.” Grace Tompkins: “I'm afraid, sir, I didn’t understand that myself.” This little poem, written by one of the discerning members of the class, may explain some of Siby Thorpe’s life to us. “Siby had a little beau. He was awful nice. She fed him candy she had made. And now he’s cold as ice.” (Watch out, Curley). But before I close, I want to confess a crime. Listen—It was a cold wintry day, and the girls were practising a Grecian barefoot dance in the auditorium. We had been routed out of the balcony where we had been peacefully watching the antics of the maidens. Fierce anger filled our souls. Intent upon revenge, we headed for the washroom where the girls had left ordinary clothing, while they danced in filmy draperies. I blush now to tell it, but we took our vengeance by tying stockings, shoestrings and other articles of apparcll into the hardest of hard knots. We later learned that one of the dancers was compelled to wait at school while sister nymph went home after a stocking, to replace the one which had accidentally dropped behind the radiator. Now we apologize. That we attempted always to appear well poised and polite is shown by this astonishing confession. Enough! We deserve to graduate and now I, a seasoned senior, sorrowfully say goodby.” (O lookit, the alliteration). As we students say, “Emnibus corkeristis ist.” Swatigottodo? THE LINCOLN LOG Page 49 EXTRA DUNCAN IS MURDERED King is Slain While He Sleeps at Castle of Famous General. Duncan, the King of Scotland was brutally murdered last night while he was a guest at the castle of Macbeth, one of Scotland’s most famous generals who had recently proved his worth in the late war. The death blow was dealt by one of the two servants of the king who was found holding the fatal weapon, still wet from inflicting the wound. Macduff was the first to whom the tragedy revealed itself. He was ordered last night by Duncan to come to the castle early the next morning to awake him. That was the last order issued by the King. Upon arriving at the castle he was admitted by Macbeth himself since the gatekeeper was still under the influence of the refreshments served the night before. Macbeth led him to the chamber to which the Royal Duncan had been assigned and then he proceeded to awaken the honorable Lady Macbeth. After much repeated knocking to which there was no response Macduff sensed that there was something wrong and throwing himself against the door sent it flying from its hinges thus revealing their beloved king lying stone dead on the floor in a pool of blood. One look at the horrible sight temporarily stunned him and he rushed into the hallway shouting at the top of his voice, “Murder! Murder! Murder!” Macbeth upon hearing the pitiful cries rushed to the chamber of death and stooped suddenly when he saw the form of the noble Duncan at his feet. He was so maddened and enraged by the sight, that thru love for his lord he unsheathed his sword and in his fury beheaded the two unfaithful servants who were still asleep. The Lady Macbeth upon hearing much commotion downstairs rushed down to satisfy her curiosity and when she came upon the huddled heap of the king and the sight of blood sh.e fell into a swoon and was carried to her chamber. She is now on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The coroner was immediately summoned, likewise the chief of police. Their inspection was conducted very rapidly and nothing was left unnoticed. Scotland’s Royal Guard was called for and a cordon of them was scattered around the castle with orders to allow no one to enter or leave till they were interviewed. A short meeting was held in Macbeth’s room where it was discovered that the King’s two sons had disappeared. Here. Banquo. another great general of the Royal Army made it known that he had his own suspicions but would not reveal them till at the trial. Some of Scotland's best sleuths were already on hand searching for clews which might bring forth the identity of the murderer. Macbeth is certain that the servants who were highly intoxicated committed the crime but the chief of police believes that they were employed by some higher authority. —Andrew Stofan.

THE LINCOLN LOG Page 52 THE FATE OF LAOCOON Then to our wretched minds dread horrors do appear, That rouse our un foreseeing hearts deep filled with fear. Laocoon, the priest by lot to Neptune led, Was slaying sacred bulls upon the altars red. For from near Tenedos and thru the waters deep, Two slimy serpents great with scaly coils now creep. They lie upon the sea with bloody main on high, Behind, their fearful backs in mighty knots they tic, Thru foam of spumy wave their certain way they take, They grasp the sparking sea and dreadful noise they make. Their eager, ardent eyes suffused with bloody fire. In every Trojan heart impending doom inspire. Their darting tongues lick hissing mouths, an awful sight For fearless Trojan warriors flee in frantic fright. With purpose fixed the serpents seek the solemn shrine, And in their tight embrace his two small sons entwine. Remorseless, limb from limb with cruel fangs they tear. Their sire with weapons comes their wretched fate to share, Him too in fatal clutch and deadly grasp they seize. Twice around the waist, twice around the neck the priest they squeeze. Their scaly backs and ugly heads high o’er him rise, With fear the knots he tears and utters frantic cries, His groans like rage of wounded bull who vainly strives Priest’s weapons to escape and sacrificial knives. Now sacred bands in poison black are dipped The soul of priest has fled, the corpse of life is stripped, But when their task is o’er, to Triton's temple go These messengers of death, these harbingers of woe. Proud Pergama now falls, Great Troy is likewise gone. To us the murky night, to Rome the rising dawn. —CORWIN C. ROACH. THE LINCOLN LOG Page 53 CLASS SONG Four years ago as Freshmen, We came to Lincoln High; We’ve worked and played together, We leave here with a sigh; We’ve found companions in teachers From whom we are loathe to part, But now we are leaving, our hearts are grieving, May we soon meet again. O, could we but live them once more, These days of our happiest years. CHORUS Joyous was each high school day, We will ne’er forget them; Pleasant were both work and play, In dear Lincoln High. Now the time has come to leave, Time to say good-bye; And now, dear school, we pledge to you, Loyalty, deep and true. We’ve had our share of pleasures, Which came in school life here, We’ve struggled with hard problems, All these we hold dear, And now from these we are parting, Our pathway to tread alone, We leave here with yearning, To thee we’ll be turning Lincoln in days to come, O, could we but live them again, These days of our happiest years. —P.onita Witt. Page 54 THE LINCOLN LOG Jtmfl Senior Formal Dance If you should happen to ask any of the members of the Senior Slass where they were on Wednesday evening, December twenty-ninth, their countenances would immediately light up and they would reply: “To the formal.” And if you should then ask them: “What kind of a time did you have ?” they would respond: “Oh, a gr-r-r-andiferous time. You should have been there.” And thereupon they would proceed to tell you of the perfectly marvelous dancers that were there and that the girls wore such stunning gowns. Yes, indeed, everything was just ideal and those of you who are undergraduates may feel that you have something wonderful to look forward to. namely the time when you may attend your very own Senior Formal. M-m-m-m-m-m “My, but didn't we have a fine time?” and “Have you guessed that answer to Bobby Leahy’s drummer boy story yet ” Such questions were being asked by the members of the Staff party which Miss Van Fleet gave at her home on Tuesday evening, December twenty-eighth. The members of the Staff thought they would be burdened with work for the Annual but Miss Van Fleet surprised them all by telling them that for one evening they could forget their work and just have a jolly time, and if you were to judge by the smiling faces and happy chatter of the girls and boys as they were on their way home you would readily have seen that they surely had a very enjoyable time, thanks to their kind hostess, Miss Van Fleet. Stop! Look! Listen! Are you going to show some good school spirit this basketball season? If so, be sure that you attend all of the basketball games. You may know that we again have a very fine team which was shown by the fact that it won both practice games, one with St. Ignatius in which the score was 12 to 10 and one with Berea where the result was 22-19. Both were hard-fought games and this fact should make us all the more enthusiastic. Therefore, if ye be true Lincolnites, try to attend all the games and give the team your support. It is fighting for you and in return it expects you to support it. Do your utmost for it and then only can we feel assured of success. The Thursday following Christmas the G. A. A. had a hike. The girls left the car-barns at 1:30 and hiked out to Johnson’s. Wood was gathered and a large fire made. Wieners were roasted and the girls told many stories and jokes. The girls had a very enjoyable time. It is hoped that more girls will participate in these hikes in the future. Page 56 7 HE LINCOLN LOG LINCOLNIA SOCIETY It has long been the custom for the Senior girls to form a society which has been known as the Lincolnia. Last fall the present 12A girls were initiated into this society. At the next meeting officers were elected. Sylvia Thorpe was made president; Clara Wise, vice president; Grace Tompkins, treasurer, and Thelma Hobson, secretary. At the Fun-Fest last term, the members gave an original sketch, “Which Shall It Be? The parts were taken by Grace Tompkins, who made a handsome young man beset with matrimonial perplexities; Bonny Witt, who made an ideal athletic girl; Grace Rittman was right there with the slang while Grace Bauer was concerned about the health of our hero; “Tensi Ferguson was the languishing lady and Bernice Mathys came in with a whirlwind of gossip; Sibey Thorpe almost won “him” with her butterfly ways—and clothes; Corey Ruetenik further weakened him with her baby vamping eyes, but it took the suffragette Clara Wise to take him completely off his feet. Much of the brilliant result of the stunt, the girls blamed on Helen Kyle, who was the director and as the girls say, for love scenes she is some director. But the most help came from our advisor, Miss Miller, who has always taken the greatest interest in our affairs. This year, after the football season was closed, the Society gave a banquet for the valiant heroes of the gridiron. All the brawny stars were called upon to recite an original poem. A few of these masterpieces are given here. We regret that it is not possible to print all of them, but the boys’ memories fail when it comes to remembering poetry and as our secre- tary, Thelma Hobson, was so busy eating, she failed to take sufficient notes, so alas! many of these works of genius are lost to the world. We gladly print the ones on hand : I am an end so light and free, I do my best for victory. The forward passes, I try to grab And on end runs the runner nab; Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. I never yet have had the blues; Now when we win, I sure am glad. And when we lose, I feel quite sad; But to lose a game is not a sin As long as you have tried to win. —Bob Wieland. ’Twas in the last few minutes Of a hard fought game, The players were sorry objects, Crippled, bruised and lame; The score was six to nothing. Favor the other side; But now our men were fighting And beginning to turn the tide. Time and again our backs Had hit the opposing line, Ripping off gains of various length. Making our chances look fine And now they neared the goal With only a yard to make.. And then I heard the signal; It was my ball to take. 1 tucked the ball beneath my arm. And sped toward the line. With thoughts and visions in my mind Of how with glory I would shine. I saw a hole and started toward it But, alas, I slipped and stumbled; I hit the ground with a vicious thump. And then, oh then, I fumbled. —“Ambitious” Staten. THE LINCOLN LOG Page 57 I am a clashing, flying end, To break up plays I do pretend. Sometimes I tackle low, But most often high, To prevent the dust from Getting in my eye. —“Turk” Pctcrka. You know I’m not a poet, That I cannot make a rhyme, 1 cannot get the meter right, The needed length or time. You ask me for a poem, And now what can 1 do? There’s nothing left for me, But to try my best for you. Now I’m on my third verse, And I have only four, As soon as this is finished, I still shall have one more. This fourth verse is the hardest, For what should it contain? But now I give it up. T was never meant for fame. —“Du m my” Zwick. I’m a half back, And I am told I’m very brave and bold. But this I think I shall deny I'm so bashful— Sweet and shy. The old dope pail we oft upset; When critics write about our team They never let off all their steam; When picked to lose, we always win. Which really is an untold sin Our team is light but full of pep, To some poor writer who had said That we would lose, he’d bet his head. Now on the other hand, let’s say We’re picked to win a certain day. The team gets cocky at the start And plays the ignoramous part; The passes fail, the punts are poor. The coach gets like a raving boor. Again the writer made a “bull,” That’s ’cause he gave our team a pull. So if a Sport Ed would be right, He’d best not mention Lincoln’s fight; At least he’d better keep quite mum Until he learns how good or bum Our team has played that day. Then, with his pencil in his hand, Let him mark down in English, grand, How he had known our team would play, The very way they did, that day. —Howard E. Grabowsky. “Dud” Haiti. THE LINCOLN LOG Page 59 AtljltftUfi FOOTBALL—1920 THE football season of nineteen twenty was one of the most successful in the annals of Lincoln High School. Though we did not win the championship. we made a great stride toward that goal and fell short in only two instances of accomplishing it. 1 will not dwell on the glorious victories or the disheartening defeats that were received. They are now in the distant past and a matter of history in the halls and corridors of Lincoln High. But to those who participated in the victories and who shared in the sorrows of defeat it will ever be a pleasing and most agreeable remembrance. The unity and determination in the minds of the players, all struggling for the same definite aim, that of raising Lincoln to an honorable place in the scholastic circles, was the direct cause for our successes of the year. Courage, pluck, determination all were personified in the members of our varsity eleven. Not a man on the squad, either regular or substitute, ever willingly or intentionally shirked his duty. Our confidence was shown perhaps in one or two of our games but the boys quickly regained their senses and played the game they are capable of. Their pluck was shown in two vividly remembered instances, one in the West High game when West on a series of line plunges carried the ball the entire length of the field until they had a first down with only two yards to go but then Lincoln braced and West bucked against a stone wall, which shattered their line, broke their attack and flung them back, just as the small insignificant breakwater resists the huge towering wave that bears relentlessly down upon it. They uselessly expended their strength in unfruitful efforts and lost courage while Lincoln awakened to her own ability, literally walked over them to a thirty-four to nothing score. The other time they showed that same “never say die” spirit was when they held Central, a powerful line smashing eleven, for downs within the five-yard line. It is true, perhaps, the eleven was inferior to former Lincoln High varsities in the matter of bright outstanding individual stars. This is in no sense a criticism of the eleven but rather some indirectly bestowed praise. We had our stars, yes, but they did not stand out quite as prominently as those of former years because they sacrificed their own glories for the general good of the school. “In unity there is strength,'' and our eleven certainly had unity and as a result the strength, which enabled them to go through the year most successfully. We wish to give the eleven full credit for their accomplishments, which is only fair to them, nevertheless there was one behind the team, who struggled long, to create this unity of purpose and to instill in the minds of the players that determination to overcome all barriers. That one, and to him is due much of the credit for our success, is Mr. Cochran, or rather “Coach Cochran. The imagination of many of us pictures a coach as one ample of vocabulary, eloquent of phrase, and endowed with the mastery of sarcasm and irony, a loud domineering sort of person who berates those under him at any given opportunity. Mr. Cochran is nothing like that, but, nevertheless, he is a coach! He is straight Coach Cochran Hovorka Capt. L. T. R. Wieland L. E. Monkowski L. G. Zwick C. Nies R. G. Grabowsky R. T. Peterka R. E.

Crevoisie THE LINCOLN LOG Page 61 and forcible spoken, knows what he wants and how to get it, so let us not forget “Coach” when praise is being dealt out right and left to the players. He is a material factor in all our team’s successes and should therefore receive his share of the credit. In running through the list of members of this year’s eleven we find that five who belong to the present 12A or February Class of nineteen twenty-one were included in the roll. They are “Bob” Wielatid, Harry Staten, Henry Mon kowski, Wilbur Dicus, and Clinton Crevoisie. The aforementioned “Bob” Wieland is a very renowned member of Lincoln High. We can’t remember much of him as a freshman but one autumn day when he was a sophomore he reported at Brookside Park for football practice and soon surprised himself by grabbing off the quarter-back's position. He played a creditable game that year but the following year found him at a half-back position where he played a brilliant game, especially in tackling at which he has always starred. This year, well, I won't repeat what I've repeated a dozen times concerning the wonderful game he played at left end; you must also remember the fact that he was considered one of the best ends in the city and secured that position for himself on the “all-scholastic” eleven. This comprises his history as a football player though he is well up in other things at school and is the president of his class. Our second member is Harry Staten, who has held a place on the football varsities of the past two years. Last year he performed at quarter and played a most creditable game. This year he was as big a factor as any in the success of the team. He played full-back and though not exceptionally great at line plunges, he could hurl a forward pass as true and accurate as a football. It was due to his ability that we defeated West so badly. Harry's history as a football player is not as long as Bob’s but it is also a very brilliant and one of which he is well able to be proud. Harry's athletic tendencies include not only football but also basketball; on this team he has played three years and during that time has well earned the praise bestowed upon him. Our third member is Henry Monkowski, who is familiarly known as “Dinky. “Dinky” has rather suddenly stepped out from the ranks of the unheard and earned himself a position on the nineteen twenty varsity. This was the only year he was out for football but the position of guard which he obtained was well earned. He played an unusually steady game at guard. His best game was with Central in which it seemed that none but he was doing any tackling. lie is a quiet person and don’t talk much but he was an important cog in our football machine. The other two members were Wilbur Dicus and Clinton Crevoisie. Dicus was a half-back who could hit a line and keep digging until the entire eleven piled upon him. He played a steady game all year but the most brilliant game he participated in was the Oberlin game in which he showed his ability to us as a line plunger. “Crew” was another sudden acquisition to the varsity and though not a regular, participated in most of the games. He did not get much chance to show his ability but yet we know he had it in him. He had the spirit but he did not get the chance to show it. Altogether, it was a most successful year. We won six games and lost two and only two teams crossed our goal line and we outpointed our opponents, although greatly handicapped by our swamping by East Tech. (Far be it from me to dwell on that subject.)

Over forty candidates reported for the first day's practice. Eleven men from last year’s first and second teams were given the preference over the others. They were Kapl and Staten, two stars from last year’s varsity, Adams, Leahy, Crevoisie, Say, Wolf, Crabowsky, Zwick, Peterka and Monkowsky. Two weeks of monotonous practice wore along and then finally the five that were to represent Lincoln in her first game were chosen. The lineup included Adams and Leahy, forwards; Kapl, center; with Wolf and Zwick, guards. Our first game was with St. Ignatius and was played at the home gym. Lincoln won by a twelve to ten score and as the score shows the game was hard and bitterly contest . Kapl was the most prominent star of the game although Wolf did some remarkably fast guarding. The score at the end of the first half was seven to six in Lincoln’s favor but soon after the opening of the second half Ignatius scored two field goals and forged into the lead but not for long as “Al Kapl himself scored two more field goals and a foul throw, making the score twelve to ten at which the game ended.

M. Misses Mallory and Cole acted as chaperones. 1916 Lincolnia The Christmas party of 1916 Lincolnia was held at the home of Mrs. Dorothy Johnston Nachtigall on December 28th. It was a very great pleasure for the Club to enjoy the hospitality of Mrs. Nachtigall. It was six years ago, on the twenty-ninth of January, 1915, that the first semi-annual graduation exercises were held at Lincoln High School. The reason for promoting pupils half yearly was because some were capable of finishing the work in a shorter time than others and it was decided to try the experiment of letting them them complete the course more rapidly. Mr. Bushnell, a member of the Board of Education, presided at the January 15 Commencement. The class speakers were Miss Florence Rowe, Valedictorian; Norma Jorns, Henry Nicholas, Elva Coblentz and Carl Becker. The class numbered forty-four pupils of whom seventeen had an average of ninety or more for the four years. The officers were: Henry Nicholas, presi- dent; Norma Jorns, vice president; Elva Coblentz. secretary; Harry Kennerell, treasurer; Esther Hamilton, assistant treasurer. Executive committee, Milton Thesmacher, chairman; Leona Renz, Palmetta Decker, William Burger, Walter Nachtigall. It has been our aim to keep in touch with the graduates of our school and as the January ’21 graduation draws near our minds revolve back to the first semiannual graduating class and wonder what they are now doing. The occupations and daily life of these Alumni are great in variety. Below is a record stating the duties of the majority of them. Florence Haueisen, Florence Stehn, May Darkness.

LATIN PLAY A Latin play, “Coniuratio Catilinae,” was given at Lincoln September, 1920, in honor of the N. E. O. T. A. The play was written by Helen Blyth, Lillian Baker, Irene Lueker, Bonita itt, Corwin Roach, Hunter Sunkle and William Clark, pupils in Miss Miller's Latin class. It was exceedingly well enacted. William Clark plays the leading role, that of Cicero. Pupils from all the Latin classes took part. All the actors in the second scene were girls. This scene was especially interesting. The climax of the play came in the trial scene. Pupils from the Junior High Latin classes also gave an amusing little sketch called, “Cindia.” At the conclusion of the program Miss Phelps’ dancing class gave an interpretative dance. The dramatis personae was as follows: Cicero, consul ............. Pomptinus, praetor ......... Flaccus Praetor............. Sulpicious, praetor........ Fulvia, amicus Quinti......
