INCOLNIA (§itr Jlmurr Our class flower, the American Beauty, has all the attributes of a perfect flower. They are dignity, patriotism and grace. Its color symbolizes truth, loyalty and virtue. The January Class of 1924 chose the American Beauty because of the six essential traits which it embodies to successful men and women must possess all of these traits; with any one of them missing material success cannot be obtained and one would be a failure spiritually. As it happens to be a spiritual failure is in most cases a moral failure and there is no place in society for a morally unprincipled man or woman. And it behooves us, the members of the January Class of 1924 to keep ihese six virtues as our aim through life and never allow our standards to become questionable. 24 T II E LINCOLN! A iFarta Non H?rba The world admires a man who not olny dreams but who also endeavors to put his plan into practice. Deeds are the emblems of thought for does it not take thought, consideration and foresight to accomplish something? Since we, the class of January ’24, have chosen this as our motto let us practice what we preach. Let us do more thinking and less talking. When we once leave the schoolroom we all will be confronted with perplexing problems and it will be the man who can think and act out his thoughts who will be the champion. We all start out to win so why not use this motto which was selected by the class, to place you on the road to prosperity and success. THE LIN CO I. N I 25 (Elahs (Unlnra We are justly proud of the colors which we have chosen, crimson and silver. The crimson stands for valor. In future life, dear classmates, let the crimson in our colors inspire you to bravery, bravery in facing the ups and downs of life. When things go wrong, and it looks as if failure were in sight, don’t be a quitter. Think of crimson and brace up. Square your shoulders to the world and be brave. The silver in our combination is intended to suggest peace tranquility of mind and body. When the hard side of life shows itself, it will be much easier to be brave if you keep calm. Think of the sweet peace of silver and go about your unpleasant tasks with a min dat rest and calm demeanor. You will soon win a place for yourself in the world if people know that whatever happens you will be brave and quiet. THE LINCOLN!A 20 (EUisb 1. Now is the time when we must say good-bye To friends and teachers dear at Lincoln High We of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-Four Go on life's journey as the knights of yore.

THK LINCOLN IA Ti (Lhw JJimit DEEDS NOT WORDS In years which are to come, Dear Lincoln, we shall try To win ourselves a place In life, with battle cry : “Facta non verba!” With you, 0 student friends, Our motto we would leave When duty you would shirk, To this fair warning cleave: “Facta non verba!” A grateful debt we owe, 0 teachers dear, to you, You’ve urged us to succeed You’ve given us this clue: “Facta non verba!” 0 classmates, friends so true. Go forth in Lincoln’s name. And conquer by these words, And add to Lincoln’s fame, “Facta non verba!” 28 T II K LINO 0 I- N I A (Class Htstonj It was just four years ago that this class crossed the threshold of Lincoln High School. Some entered because they were compelled to, others simply saw another four years of amusements and jolly times ahead, while the ambitious came with the intention of getting the most out of what Lincoln High had to offer them. As it was the day of entry a general hubbub prevailed on the main floor. We freshmen could be seen crowded about the bulletin board anxious to see what destiny awaited us, finding only to our dismay that we had been placed in alphabetical groups. With this came the realization that we were to be parted from our former friends, and new class-mates were to be made. After the tedious task of deciphering the programs handed out to us had been finished and having become acquainted with the class rooms and teachers, we were dismissed for the day. Getting soon into the general routine of school, we found we were able to adapt ourselves to our new surroundings. As all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” the G. A. A. sympathized with us and held a party in our honor. It was at this affair that the ice was broken,” and we became more friendly with the girls of the higher classes. Our next exciting event was the Indoor Circus and Candy Bazaar, which we attended in great numbers. What a delight we took in seeing the side shows and purchasing little novelties from ihe gaily decorated booths! Alice and Alene Wilkinson, the only pair of twins attending school at that time, played their part very effectively in a little act, under the direction of Mr. Monks. How sorry we feel for the later pupils who have not had the joy of taking part in one of our Famous Candy Bazaars.” We hope though that these bazaars are not gone forever, but that they may be revived in the near future. Another epoch marking this eventful year was the revival of our school paper, under the new name The Log.” Even we as Freshmen contributed our feeble efforts to make it a success. One of the reasons that this paper was so successful its first year was because we had a main stay” Mr. Stay. Time passes. We became Sophomores and were no longer classes with the meek and lowly” Freshmen who were something far beneath our notice, since our own Freshmen days were already forgotten. Practically all of us joined one or more clubs which give much pleasure to both boys and girls. The more fortunate contributed their talent to the Glee Club and Orchestra under the supervision of Miss Mallory, while those taking foreign languages took keen interest in the French and Spanish Clubs. The Glee Club gave a Ministrel Show and Musical in which several members of our class took part. Another play Green Stockings” was given by the Dramatic Club during the latter part of the year. Great talent was displayed in this presentation. Frances Waite portrayed her role as the leading lady with great effectiveness. The Basketball Season came on and we looked forward to the games with great enthusiasm. A group of boys was selected who were thought capable of upholding the athletic promises of Lincoln High. The entire team played remarkably well and showed the thorough training of Coach Cochran in their game with Baldwin-Wallace, which resulted in their bringing home the first championship Trophy ever won by a Lincoln High School Basketball team. But the intellectual side of our school life was not neglected. T II B 1.1 N C OLNI A 20 We had a “Better English campaign. Striking posters were made by the art classes and hung in conspicuous places to serve as a constant reminder to use better English. However, after the campaign week was over, such expressions as “ain’t, and “hain’t were heard again. Alas for human weakness! A weekly reminder of our coming oration was given us by Miss Mar-chand. “Hiawatha was a very widely read poem at Lincoln High. Some took such keen interest in it that they even committed to memory certain parts! Just to show the remarkable ideas the Juniors have of some of the illustrious members in the Senior class I will repeat an incident, taken place recently in one of the classes. Teacher: “Who do you consider the two greatest orators of the present day? Student: “Senator Borah and John Cowley! This year was also marked by many social activities. One of the most amusing affairs of the year was a “Kids party given by the Friendship Club. Hair ribbons, toys and all-day suckers were very much in evidence. Seniors and Juniors as well as Sophs and Freshmen indulged in childish games. This is one of the affairs which we shall always recall in connection with our happy school days. Our class was organized the early part of the fourth year. For president we chose Jimmy Bennett; for our vice-president Emma Kellog; Frances Waite was chosen secretary; Paul Glenn our treasurer and Helen Whittle his assistant. The class colors selected are crimson and silver; the class flower is The American Beauty and our motto chosen this year is “Facta non verba, “Deeds not Words. In one of our recent Civic classes while discussing different means of helping the poor, Mr. Monks asked Edna Doney the two kinds of relief in operation. Edna, who was day dreaming, promptly answered, “Inward and Outward, meaning Indoor and Outdoor Relief. One of the first military affairs ever held at Lincoln High School took place during our Senior year. There was a review of all the companies, followed by a dance. Here Lincoln viewed one of the largest crowds ever present at an afternoon dance. Another important event of the year was the Football Banquet given by the Senior girls, in honor of the Football Team. All arrangements were made by the girls with the help of Miss Van Fleet. The tables were beautifully decorated in Christmas greens, the menu was exceptionally well planned. The courses throughout were served by the Senior boys much to the amusement of the girls. Many interesting after dinner speeches were given. “Peanuts Miller discussed the question “What’s in a name. Another who shall be nameless, “The advantage of having big feet. At the conclusion of the banquet all joined in a song composed by Thelma Lewis a member of our class. The time for the long dreaded ordeal of giving our orations had arrived. After the necessary requirements had been taken care of we fearfully waited the hour when it was to be given before the audience; only to find that after once having started to recite the rest was mere child’s play. The faculty’s selection for the commencement speakers of our class consists of Paul Glenn, Valedictorian; Donald Blackwell, Glen Almy, Frances Waite, Helen Stephan, while the members of the class chose our president, Jimmy Bennett and John Cowley, (mindful of his fame as an orator). And now that all is over and the time draws near for us to say farewell, we survey the four years spent at Lincoln High School, as a time which will always stand out as the brightest in our memory. —Johanna Zseder. 30 TUB LINCOLNIA (SJlass UtU To all whom these presents may concern:— We, the 12A class of January 1924, being of a sound mind and accurate memory do hereby present our last will and testament.

Drawn and sworn before me this nineteenth day of January, I hereby affix the Seal of the State of Coma, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and twenty four. —Earl Glasenapp, January 1924. t ii f; , I N ( O L N I V 31 nf tbr January (Haas nf 1924 On the fifth day of May in the year 1948, the writer received a communication from the famous Vogel, Wotschak Ellis Travel Bureau who conducted world tours in much the same manner as did the Thos. Cook Sons about twenty-five years ago. The contents of the aforementioned epistle was an invitation to take a trip around the world with these three worthy gentlemen. It may be said before launching into the story of this tour that we received many pleasant and also many painful surprises. The journey was to start on May fifteenth, so this left not much time for preparation. Suffice it to say that everything turned out all right and New York was reached after an uneventful night aboard the train. The writer met the Messrs. Vogel, Wotschak and Ellis and after a few days in the greatest city in the United States, on the morning of the fifteenth we proceeded to the pier to board one of the swiftest ocean greyhounds afloat. Just as we were going up the gang-plank we heard a great commotion and looking down at the dock we saw a husky, throwing baggage into the hold of the ship. “You know who that is, don’t you?”, said Mr. Vogel, “that’s Mack, the baggage smasher.” And so it was. The husky, baggage smashing individual was none other than Clayton Ve-trovsky, who had been hired solely on his past record, for as Mr. Wotschak aptly expressed it, “He had a smashing time while in high school, everything he laid his hands on was soon reduced to splinters.” We then entered this floating palace which was to be our home for a few days and were shown to our state rooms by a porter, a likeable fellow who turned out to be Emil Sovish. After three days on the water we put in at Liverpool which was our first port of call. We disembarked and after becoming accustomed to our land legs once more, we proceeded to a hotel for a few days stay. After a short rest we started to give the place the once over as a good American would say. While we were occupied with this past-time we were accosted by a lady and on looking closer we perceived her to be none other than Edna Doney who told us that she was the manager of the hotel at which we were then staying. After a few days more at this hostelry we took a train cross-country for London. On leaving the cars at the station in the world’s metropolis, we were met by a very stately individual all decked out in a red uniform, trimmed in gold braid. He told us that he was the Chief of Police of London and also the head of Scotland Yard, England’s greatest detective headquarters. We were rather frightened by such a reception, not knowing of any crimes we had committed enroute. But our minds were soon set at rest when he told us that he was Wallace Aulseybrook. now Lord Wallace. When asked how he knew of our coming he told us that he knew of the arrival of every stranger into London due to his unsurpassable detective force. We were told by this guardian of the law that we could do as we wished during our stay in London, but before we left he wished to see us as he had some interesting information for us. After seeing the sights as only an American tourist can see them, we decided it was time to be traveling onward, but first we visited Lord Wallace and learned many strange things. 32 T H K I, I N C 0 I- N I A When we were seated in the “sanctum sanctorum” of this great criminologist, he said, “Thru my eagle eyed subordinates, I was able to find out some things that have befallen some of our former classmates. Glen Almy, the quiet lad while in school, is now- a cock-fight promoter. Pearl Bibel is chief magistrate in the London Court, the first time this position was ever held by a woman. The Moran boys are teaching clog dancing in Amsterdam, Holland. John Brzozowski, Emil Milberg, John Wosnik and John Neuzil are operating at a great profit, a pretzel factory in Berlin, Germany. Howard Nass only recently led a revolution in Spain and has been declared dictator and, last of all, but interesting, is the fact that the Wilkinson twins, Alice and Alene have purchased Gibraltar from England for a home for aged ostriches and kangaroos.” After having heard these amazing revelations we decided that it was enough for one day and saying good-day to our friend we went to our hotel to recover. The next day we bade our old school mate farewell and left by aeroplane for Paris, the mecca of all tourists. The journey was without happening and a safe landing was made. As our time of stay in Paris was short, we did not see much but we did attend the Paris Opera House where we heard and saw many celebrities, among whom were Frances Waite, Marian Ringold, Beatrice Garlitz and Theodore Steppart who were playing stellar roles in some of the world's great operas. After staying a few days longer we left Paris for Berne, Switzerland. On arriving here one of the first things we saw was a huge building on top of which was a sign that told the world that the building was the home of “Yurick Zahour’s Select Swiss Cheese.” Several days later we visited this place and received a royal welcome. The Messrs. Yurick ZahourZ took us on a tour of inspection of their factory and then we were shown a surprising sight. On the top floor of the building we saw George Loeber and George Cermak with large electric drills, drilling holes in cheese. We were also told that if we went to the capitol buildings we would receive another surprise. The two gentlemen of Swiss cheese fame accompanied us to the government headquarters and thanks to their influence we readily gained admittance. We at once proceeded to the Navy Headquarters and here to our great astonishment we were introduced to our old friend Donald Blackwell, Lord High Admiral of the Swiss Navy and his chief assistant. Edward Malanowski who had charge of the submarine division. During the conversation we asked Admiral Blackwell if he knew anything of the whereabouts of any members of the class of January 1924. “Yes,” he replied, “I have information of a few of them which I can give you. Helen Stephan, Johana Zseder and Miriam Gratz are now in Constantinople working for the betterment of Turkish women in the harems. Marie Miller is a lecturer for the “International Society of Suffragettes” and just yesterday I received a letter from Paul Glenn who is teaching the South African natives Latin, that Helen Whittle is running a beauty shop for the benefit of the tribe chiefs wives.” After our visit with the Admiral we bade our friends, Mr. Yurick and Mr. Zahour good-bye and made ready to leave Switzerland. We went from Berne to Genoa, Italy by aeroplane and at Genoa we again took a steamer, sailed thru the Mediterranean Sea, thru the Suez Canal and in due time we arrived at Bombay, India. From there we went to Calcutta by rail and again taking a steamer we finally reached Hongkong, China. After settling for a short stay we set out to see the sights in this Oriental city. While walking along one of the main thorofares we saw a sign that advertised a well known make of light car, also on the sign were the THK LI N COLS I. TO names of Michael Marinchak and George Lawrence. We entered the building and were greeted by Mike who promptly brought out a Ford, and took us around and showed us the town. While riding along he told us that Emma Kellog, Priscilla Baer, Hazel Joerger and Florence Bender were teaching the heathen Chinee how to become Christians. After seeing considerable of this old world city we returned to Mike’s auto agency. We remained here a few days longer and then left for Shanghai. This city being somewhat of a repetition of Hongkong, we did not stop long, but took a small vessel to Japan. After three days on the water we put in at Yokahoma. During our explorations of this city we accounted for three more of our classmates. Gertrude Miller, Rosella Rudolph and Frances Liss had collaborated in the writing of a book entitled, “Confessions of a Wife, or How to Run Your Husband”. This book had been translated into Japanese and it had found ready sale among the women of the Land of Cherry Blossoms. The co-authors of this book were supervising personally the publishing of their volume. It was now time to plan our homeward journey and after some preparation we boarded a liner that was to carry us four thousand miles from Japan to San Francisco. While talking one day during our trip toward home, Phillip Ellis told us a surprising piece of news. lie said that Frank Leyritz was working in New York, posing for advertisements for a famous manufacturer of collars. One day as we entered our state rooms we spied a note on the floor and on picking it up we read that, if we wished to learn something of interest we were to call at a certain place in San Francisco. Immediately on landing we proceeded to find the place described in the note, and after a bit of looking around we did locate the place. The residence, for such it proved to be, was approached by us and we were admitted by a haughty butler who said that the madame would see us presently. Shortly we heard footsteps and we were confronted by a lady of familiar appearance. Who was it? It was Alberta Ryan, one of the leading spiritualists of the day. We were also introduced to her assistant, Ruth Deck, who promised to be another famous medium. Now began a long journey overland, with home as its goal, but we did stop at some of the cities along our path. We stopped at Salt Lake City where we learned that James Bennett was in town trying to buy the Great Salt Lake for the purpose of draining it and setting up a huge salt works. We traveled on to Denver, Colorado, where we heard Mabel DeWitt’s Jazz Band smashing out the latest tunes. It was here also that just the day before we came the World’s Champion Marble Contest had been won by Casimir Grabowsky. At Topeka, Kansas, we were surprised to see John Bilinski selling newspapers on the station platform. On asking him why he was selling papers he said that he wanted to gain some knowledge of human nature for a book which he was to write. At Kansas City, Missouri, we saw the main store of the Lahl Cicerchi chain of butcher shops. In Chicago we found out that Marie Nousek was president of the University of Chicago, the first time a woman had been so honored. It was also in the Windy City that Louis Samotus had decided to save soles, not as a preacher, but as a shoe maker. We arrived in Cleveland the next day and Mr. Vogel, Mr. Wotschak and Mr. Ellis who accompanied the writer on this trip wrent on to New' York to resume their business. A w’eek or so later a letter was received from them saying that Dorothy Sause had started a dancing school for bashful men and that Arthur Powell was the first applicant. The letter T II B , I N C O l N I 35 also stated that Thelma Lewis had won another gold medal for her excellent music on the harp. All the members of the January Class of 1924 had thus far been accounted for except two, namely John Cowley and Earl Glasenapp. The writer decided to find them and after a prolonged search found them here in Cleveland, in the Court House, not as prisoners but as opposing lawyers. And indeed it was opposition; John Cowley was flailing the air with his arms like an aeroplane propeller and talking as fast as was possible, saying everything about his opponent that he could think of, but Earl Glasenapp, of the opposition, was not to be outdistanced, for there he stood on the other side of the court room making the most grotesque faces that any one had ever seen. After a time the conflict became so hot that the judge ordered them ejected from the hall of Justice. The writer followed to see if they would continue their fight, but to his surprise, they stood on the court house steps shaking hands and shortly after swung off down the street, arm in arm, singing, “For it’s always good weather, when we two get together.” All is over and to use an army expression, “All were present and accounted for”, therefore the only thing to do now is to ponder over what the Fates have decreed for our friends. So endeth the tale of the doings of the members of the Class of January 1924, one quarter of a century hence. JFiuia —Arthur H. Knippenberg. 36 THE LIN C OLNIA ©ratimts First Set. September 28, 1923.

We, the members of the January Class of 1924, will soon receive our diplomas and start on our journey through life. It can be truthfully said that it will be but the start, the beginning of a hard and difficult road over which we all must travel. Up to this time, twelve years of our life have been spent in school, no doubt for most of us, a more or less obscure sort of existence, but now we have all “reached our own,” as Shakespeare aptly expressed it, we are now making our entrance onto the great stage of the world, each one of us to play his or her part. Some of us may go to higher institutions of learning, some may enter the busy industrial world and some achieve high positions of fame and power, and doubtless some, less fortunate, will fall by the way. There is however one thing which we can all do, to strive and make the best of what we have and try to help and better our fellow-man, so that when the Grim Reaper beckons us and we make our exit from the great stage, we shall feel satisfied that we have done all in our power to make the world a better place for our having lived in it. —Arthur H. Knippenberg 12 A 3 $nur Annual We have at last reached that point in our High School career which means farewell to Lincoln. We have looked forward to this time for four years and now that it has arrived we are, for the most part, reluctant to go. In order that we may have something tangible, something which is more than a diploma, with which to look back at our days of Lincoln we have compiled this book. In it are pictures of the members of our class—of some of the socieiies, and better still some childhood photos of some of us. It also contains essays, stories and poems written by the class as examples of what many of us can do. Seniors, at some future time when you have accomplished more, when you have done bigger and better things, take out your annual, look it over and think of your classmates and of your days at Lincoln. In a time of trouble a glance thru your book might raise your spirits and help you over the trial. At all events it is something to cherish and value above anything money can buy. g I £ g g E 40 THE LINCOLN IA THE LINtOLNI A 41 ICmt §taff Editor-in-chief_____ Assistants__________ Business Managers..

You are now the pride of the school, and must act as such. You are to be looked up to by the humble “Freshies”, “Wise Fools” and the Lovesick Juniors. Of course we dislike to make your head swim so soon, but we will have to admit that you have a fine set of class officers. When you become a Senior you naturally acquire some dignity, which should grow more perfect every day. And in closing, we, the graduating class of January 1924, advise you to always live up to your class motto, “Ad Astra per Aspera”, dignified Seniors! Amen!!! Hlmttnra Our Juniors have not yet organized and perhaps this accounts for the fact that their activities are not widely known. Nevertheless they are on the “map.” Some day they will become seniors. Of course they look forward to this. Doesn’t the whole school watch the senior’s every action? They think it would be nice to be in the limelight. Oh but we were talking about Juniors not Seniors. When one becomes a Junior he naturally feels a great importance. Why you ask? Well we hesitate to answer but we have received this from an authority. Juniors are lovesick !!! There it is out ! Haven’t you ever noticed them wandering around the halls gazing wistfully. That’s a first sympton. Perhaps we’d better not give the other one. But Juniors have good traits also. We will leave that to the same authority whom we are sure will agree. THE LINCOLN!A 53 UlljF §upbs They say that “Sophomore’' means “Wise fool.” How apt is the name. Just a very short time ago, they were Freshmen. But that embarrassing fact has completely slipped their minds. They scorn the poor, little Freshman. They are sure that they know much more than the faculty, who in their estimation, are poor, deluded, ignorant creatures. Now do you doubt my assertion that “sophomore” is an appropriate name to apply to these individuals in their second year of high schools. flc Jrrsljnmt It usually behooves a graduating class to pass a few jibes in the general direction cf the lowly freshmen. This is perfectly all right as far as it goes but I wonder just how many of us realize that as a general rule our freshmen think more of their school than do the seniors. The seniors think of themselves where—as the lower class—men’s thoughts are devoted solely to their particular place of learning. The freshmen have gone so far as to organize a basketball team that threatens to out-distance our varsity in the city cage assembly. They now are so far privileged as to sit in their own rhetoricals which of course are designed for their especial benefit. When they first entered the school they were beheld in such esteem by our worthy faculty that a request was granted by the Board of Education that special rooms be fitted out in our basement for them. Thus we can easily see that without our freshmen, our school would lack the essential prestige to exist in this present day and age. T II K L I N C 0 L N I A .11 Htnroln Btglj i nng Look where the crimson banners fly, Hark to the sound of tramping feet; There is a host approaching nigh, Lincoln is marching up the street, Onward to victory again, Marching with drum beat and with song Hear the refrain As it thunders along, as it thunders along. Behold they come in view Who wear the crimson hue, Whose arms are strong, whose hearts are true Ever to Lincoln High, ever to Lincoln High, And Lincoln’s glory shall be our aim As through the ages the sound shall roll When all together we cheer her name. When we cheer her with heart and soul. THB LINCOLN! A TIIE LINCOLN! A ;V. itty iFtnit lanrr Dancing is a very old pastime which might go back about a thousand years. How many of us can remember our first dance? Well I can. I had the funniest way of being asked to go to a dance. Instead of my asking the girl to go to the dance, she asked me. If I had to ask a girl to go to the dance with me I’d never learn how to dance. Last March when I was a Senior, I happened to be on the third floor of Lincoln High School and a nice, sweet and good looking girl came up to me and asked me if I could dance. I said, “You’d be surprised.” Next thing she asked me if I had a date for tomorrow night and I said “No.” She told me to meet her at her house about seven o’clock. After she left me I wonderd what was I going to do for I could not dance. That afternoon I worried so much that I nearly lost ten pounds. After I was through with all my classes I went home, right to my room. That was the first time I really concentrated so hard. Then a good friend of mine came up to my room and saw me sitting there with my mind in deep thought. He asked me what was the matter with me and I narrated my story to him. Then he said he would help me out by helping me to think up of some way to go to that dance. One of his fine ideas was to get sick and not call on her. but I couldn’t do that. Another was to go with her and just before going into the dance hall pretend to twist my ankle. I couldn’t do that either, and that’s the kind of ideas he had. Then I told him his ideas would not work and just then I thought that he had a sister. I asked him if his sister could dance, and he told me that his sister knew how to dance before she learned to talk. Whoopee! I went wild with joy. Just when a fellow was giving thanks to the gods for bringing in such good luck he butts in and says, “Maybe my sister has a date tonight.” Wow! what a joybreaker. When it comes to taking joy out of life he leads the class. To be sure to get her before she went away I went to his house before I had any supper for just then I’d rather learn how to dance than eat for I set my mind to learn how to dance. We got there in about ten minutes for he doesn't live very far from the street I live on. My friend starts to climb the stairs and who comes out but his sister. When I reached the top of the stairs I heard the strains of the “Sheik” on the Victrola. Then she came up to me and asked me to dance with her. “I’m sorry but I can’t dance,” said I. “Well come in and I’ll show you how to dance,” said she. Then she began preaching on gliding, hesitating, bring up, springing and all kinds of terms like that, one hundred per cent of those were Greek to me. Then she began to illustrate which was more like English. After dancing around the room all by myself, I tried with her and hooray, I got along good and didn’t step on her feet either. Just a little, but not very much. After the subject of dancing was clear and down pat in my cranium, I departed for home. The time was nearly midnight and I nearly danced my way home. Well next day I met her in school and she asked me if I was going tonight and I said, “Oh I hope to tell you.” About six P. M. one could see me dolling up, for that was the first time I was going to a dance. Gee, I felt great. Well about 6:30 P. M. THE LINCOLN! A - - •M THK LIN C O L N IA THE L INC 0 L N IA 50 I departed and went to call for the girl. I missed the first car so I had to take the second and when I arrived at her house I was ten minutes late, she didn’t say much, just a little. When we got to the dance-hall we checked our coats in the checkroom and advanced toward the dance floor itself. There already was a gathering of classmates whom I knew real well, but I felt so funny, that I didn’t know where to put my hands. I happened to glance to one side and I saw the orchestra unpacking their instruments. Quickly I grabbed one of my boy friends and went into a secluded spot where nobody could see us and I tried out my fox trot and waltz. I practiced till the music started. Before venturing on the dance floor I said my prayers in four different languages. Now comes the exciting moment. She placed her left arm on my shoulder and put her right hand into my left. Oh Boy what a sensation it was to have a girl in my arms. Then we started to dance I began to count 1-2-3 bring up, 1-2-3 glide, 1-2-3 sidestep etc. I was getting along nicely before we went around the dance floor. Then she spoiled it all, for she told me that I was the best dancer she ever danced with and that got me nervous, excited, flustrated and many more big words. Then I began to dance on her feet and she had brand new satin slippers and I’ll bet they were ruined. I was cussing and doing everything but dance and I thought the music would never stop. I think the people at the sidelines were watching me most of all, Boy oh Boy some of the looks I got. If looks could kill I would be a goner. Every two or three steps we would stop and start all over again and no matter how hard I tried I could not get started. I sure was giving my respiratory system good exercise, my face was red as a beet, my heart was beating faster than 20 miles per hour and oh the way I felt. It seemed to me if Dempsey hit me and the music stopped. So we left the dance floor and I asked her if she would excuse me. She said yes and I went to my secluded spot to try again. This time I did not count and then the music started. Its a good thing I did not have the next dance with the same girl. When the dances were going up in numerals I was succeeding and I took pleasure in dancing but I still was stiff as a broomstick. When I improved I asked the girl I brought for a dance and she would have some excuse like, “Oh, I don’t want to dance,’’ and I’d just about turn around when she would be dancing with another fellow. That did not worry me any for I asked another girl. During the evening I only had one dance with the girl I brought. The crowd began to diminish and I thought we might as well go too. She was perfectly willing. After that night I went to my friend’s house and I improved on my dancing. If the girl was here in school, which of course she isn’t, I would ask her to go to a dance with me tonight. Then I would show her I can dance. Even if I have to say it myself, I give that girl all the credit for giving me the nerve to go on the dance floor, for she is the one that made me learn how to dance. —Edward Mai. T H K L I N C O L N I A uu JmtrntimtB Jl Inyr Jnr, lut Nrurr Expert While talking to Edison the other day, he told me he had run out of ideas and asked if there was anything I thought he could work on. I told him that 1 could not think of anything off hand but if anything came to me I would tell him about it. After eating a Thanksgiving dinner a bright idea came to me and I immediately wired the following to Tom: “Start to work on a food like substance which will taste as good as turkey and which when eaten will produce the same result as four years in High School.” Following this several other thoughts came to me and I hopped in my aeroplane and took the following list to Edison’s home: First: invent something that will make it possible for everyone to get up in the morning and leave behind all thoughts of staying in bed. Second: a machine which will cost nothing or practically nothing to produce, nothing to operate, will not breakdown and will have all the attributes of an automobile, aeroplane, ship and submarine. Third: a soap which does not have to be dissolved in water and which after using will evaporate into the air leaving the hand and face clean. Fourth: a medicine which will cure laziness. Fifth: something to keep children from the ages of 12 to 19 home nights. Try and invent it. After looking over the list Edison said he did not like the third but would start work on the others right away and would send one of each to me for a Christmas present even if he had to miss one meal and one hour’s sleep. —Glenn Almy. A Narrow Eorapr What to do, what to do, that was the question which confronted me yesterday. I hadn’t studied my history. In fact I hadn't even had a chance to open the book and glance through the paragraph headings. I didn’t even know what the lesson was about. I slouched as far down in my seat as possible, keeping myself completely hidden from the teacher’s view by the girl in front of me. I thought I’d find out how much truth there was in the old saying, “Out of sight, out of mind.” Everything proceeded smoothly for a while because the teacher started going down the two outside rows, first one and then the other, like a spelling bee. At that rate I figured she wouldn’t reach me before the bell rang because I sat in the last seat in the middle row. My thoughts wandered far away from history and school. I was blissfully bathing in the warm, sunny waters of California, when a familiar voice said, “Thelma!” I jumped like a startled kangaroo, and said, “Y-Y-Yes, ma’am.” She continued, “I want you to make a report next Tuesday, on “Carpetbaggers and Scalawags.” Things again resumed their peaceful mien and my thoughts Hew far away. Literally flew because this time I was the heroine of a thrilling romance in an airplane. I was just making a nose-dive in a flaming drive when a voice called. “Thelma.” T H K L I N C OLM A «;i This time the interruption made me angry. As I said “Yes, I thought crossly to myself that teachers who startled poor, defenseless pupils in that cruel fashion, should be reported to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Indeed, it made me so furious, I resolved to write a letter to them that very night. But meanwhile the teacher was saying, “Thelma, I want you to stop at my desk, after class. I have a book here which might help you in your report.” I said, “All right,” and settled back in my seat, for it was nowhere near my turn to be called on and it was quarter of then. Only fifteen more minutes! But somehow or other, she had nearly arrived at my turn and there were three minutes left. My breath began to come in gasps. I grew hot and cold by turn and began to manufacture excuses. Only two more and then it was my turn! One more! Oh dear, she was going to call on me. I glanced pleadingly at the clock.

She rose to answer it. “Yes-yes-all right.” That was all. There was yet another minute. “Thelma” A little boy walked in and handed her a note. She read it and said to the boy, “Tell her, yes.” Half a minute more! “Thelma—will the pupils studying in the back of the room please be a little more quiet? It annoys me to have so much noise when Pm teaching a class.” “Thelma, what was the attitude of the people toward—” “Brr” The blessed bell had rung just in the nick of time. I hope never again to be in that perilous position. It makes the beads of perspiration stand out on my forehead now, when I think of it. —Thelma Lewis. Jhrab rnth Erala Many of us have read about some great person whom we worshipped as any admirer does. Abraham Lincoln is an ideal for American men, women and children. This beloved man of our country was not a wealthy knight as some idols are depicted, but a pure kind hearted man enriched with a noble character and a willingness to serve his nation. He not only is an ideal of a story but he was a real character in life. If we read about his life we find many qualities desired of an ideal and these characteristics portray some of the incident in real life. How he settled the vital questions at that troubled time of our country, his patriotic spirit, his feeling towards men. and many other things prove that he is an ideal and at the same time a real true to life. Theodore Roosevelt is another example of an ideal and real person. There are many such men and women in history, but I have chosen these two to serve to illustrate my meaning. Every person likes to have an ideal but sometimes we find it hard to live up to the standards of an idol but, nevertheless, we should try to improve so that at each endeavor we shall climb higher and higher and finally reach a point in our lives where we can say we are going the best we can. —Marie Nousek, 12A. C2 THE LINCOLNIA A ICtttlr $irh (Eljat Almagfi Jack was a little boy about six years old. He lived near a thick wood, in which the gypsies often went to camp. Jack had been told a great many stories about these queer dark skinned people, that never had a home. But Jack’s mother had always told him never to go into the woods because that was where the gypsies camped. One bright afternoon Jack was sitting on the door step of his little cottage, thinking about the gypsies. The more he thought the more curious he grew. He thought he would like to live like a gypsy, and travel the whole world over. So up he jumped, and skipped into the house, to tell his mother that he was going over to John’s house for the afternoon. His mother told him that he could go, but to be home at five o’clock. So away he went. He wandered, away from his mother’s cottage into the black woods. He wandered and wandered, but where were the gypsy camps? “I’ll never find them in this big woods,” thought Jack. He did not know that he was lost until it began to grow dark. By this time Jack had given up the idea of ever living with an old dirty gypsy. He wanted to go back to his mother. So he started to go home. But the paths were new and strange to him, he could not tell which one led to his mother’s cottage. His little heart beat hard and quick under his new jacket. He felt a great lump rising in his throat, and he wanted to cry. But he would not. “I’ll try this path,” he said, “This looks the most like it.” Suddenly he looked up and saw a light gleaming through the wood. “I guess that must be our house but it don’t look a bit like it,” he said. “I’ll soon find out though.” As he ran eagerly in the direction of the light, and upon approaching nearer he saw a Gypsy tent. In the door stood a woman with a large shawl thrown over her head. Jack could not see her face, because her back was towards him. “Of course she is a wicked old gypsy! But who’s afraid. I’m just going to ask her to show me the way out of the woods, if she eats me for it.” So he marched up to her, like a hero, and lightly touching her arm, said, “Madam, could you please show me the way out of the wood?” Instead of replying the woman caught him up quickly into her arms half smothering him with tears and kisses. It was his own mother. “Why, mother!” cried Jack, “how did you get here with the gypsies?” “A little bird told me,” replied his mother. Taking him by the hand she led him out of the wood. llliat (Canitfas Ufaatt to Ufa” Candles! Candles! Candles! Tall candles, short candels, tiny candles, fat candles, medium candles yet all candles mean the same to me. When candles come to my mind I somehow connect them up with a birthday. The tiny tot has a large cake with one or two candles and the fond relatives have as much fun out of the candles and the cake as the little tot. The few candles are not much to count, but when the aged person, the grandparents, have their candles it takes more than one cake or a very large cake to place the candles. Instead of a weak puff to blow the candle out it takes much blowing. The candle is used when looking for an article at night, when the search light refuses to work. After coaxing the search light to work I will finally lay it down and start to hunt for some stray candle to help me in my search. T II E INCOLM A 63 Candles are connected with Christmas. Although the electric candles have taken the place of candles, yet candles on the tree are still in existence. Personally I think candles look prettier on the tree than electric lights. But safety comes first. Many a house has a candle flickering on Christmas Eve. A candle is shown on nearly every illustration at Christmas. The candles denote Christmas. The candle has historic setting. It seems to signify the Christmas Star. The candle has had its day but customs still hold in this day of electric lights. —Priscilla Baer. Granting iExnt Being the baby of the family is no fun, as you who hold that honor will agree. My big six-foot father watches over me carefully; my big six-foot brother more carefully; and last, but not least, my little, not much over five-foot mother, most carefully. When I am late for school, I must not only have an excuse for school, but one for my mother so she will write an excuse for the teacher. When I am late from a dance, I must have an excuse ready for whoever it is greets me at the door. One excuse will hold good with Father that Mother will never accept and as for my brother—he knows the origin and meaning of all the excuses in existence and has overworked all the good ones, so what chance is there for me? My favorite indoor sport is framing excuses, for I seem never to have enough. Why is it we must be answerable for sins of omission as well as commission? If we do not do certain things, why? If we do do certain things, why? In closing may I say I wish there were an excuse framed to help me out of everything so I could spend the time wasted in framing excuses in enjoying the things excuses are framed for. —Marion Ringold. cUltr Jhral (girl The ideal average girl is strong in body, is intelligent, believes in God and strives to obey Ilis laws. She is not afraid to work and she has courage to meet hardships and loneliness as they come. She is interested in pretty clothes, she wants them for herself, she has what she can honestly afford and she spends time and pains to get the very best she can for the money she has. She refuses to be extreme in style or to make herself ridiculous or consnicuous. She likes fun, she enjoys amusements and good times. She will not indulge in things of which her parents heartily disapprove or which unfit her for work or study, and which her own conscience tells her are doubtful. She loves her friends and companions and has as many as it is possible to have. She chooses her friends carefully, among the boys and men and lets neither word nor act lower in the least degree their respect for her. She looks forward to the day when she shall have a home of her own and fits herself to care for it with intelligence and skill. She is honest, and faithful to her present tasks. She is kind, generous, helpful, cheerful, just the sort of girl one would like to live with every day. —Priscilla Baer 12-A. 04 THE LINCOLNIA A (Oirl at tlje iHljwl For about twenty years or more men alone have been driving machines. But a few years ago women got the idea that they too might be able to drive machines through the city streets as well as the men. That was a bright idea of some adventurer wasn’t it? Ah, Yes! Before telling you about “A Girl at the Wheel,” I will try to tell you something about the way women drive their machines. The boys in this class who drive machines will agree, with what I have to say about some women driving machines. One day I was driving a “Tin Lizzie” on West 25th street going north. Joe, the traffic cop had his semaphore adjusted for my having the right of way. A young “chicken” was driving a Cadillac going east and the semaphore was against her, but she kept on going and said, “Hello, Joe!” Oh Boy, I had a close call and it's a good thing I was fast with my feet. I put on the brake of my “Jewish Packard” so quickly that I think I could have stopped on a dime. Well I kept an easy pace with my “Baby Lincoln,” being about 20 miles per hour, or maybe more, when a woman driving a Hupmobile passed me on my right and got right in front of me and was going so slow that I had to slow down and ride in low geer. Was that nice? I guess not! One day this summer while walking home from the library I saw a woman driving a machine cut the corner at Scranton and Clark. Just think, she smashed into a Ford. 1 immediately rushed to the scene of the accident and a middle aged woman came out of her machine. “Ah was her machine smashed?” “No, it was only slightly injured.” and I think it rests in peace in a junk-pile. Well this lady goes to the man whose Ford was ruined and says, “Pardon me, but I think I was in your way, wasn't I?” Wow! I’ll bet that guy felt like hitting her. Well the gentleman began to quarrel with the lady, so I left just then for I knew from experience it was going to be a vocal cord fight. One time I had the opportunity to teach a girl how to drive a Ford. People say, when opportunity knocks at the door, grasp it, and I sure did. Well, I drove “Spark Plug” out into the country where there wouldn’t be any traffic. I stopped the machine a good distance away from the city. Before I gave her the wheel I explained to her what she had to do. She was so eager to get behind that wheel that she said she knew what to do, so I being good natured gave her the job of driving. Well she sat behind the wheel and then began asking a bunch of questions. Oh my, the way those questions flew at me, so I started to explain step by step. First—put your foot on the clutch half way and keep it there, then release your emergency brake, and then pust on the clutch and at the same time give her the gas. Well she gave “Sparky” so much gas that he nearly burst. I quickly shut off the gas and told her about eight notches would be enough. Well she again got started and we were going along fine. Just then a machine was coming from the opposite way and she drove the machine into the edge of the road. I was so scared that my heart leaped into my shoe. I quickly grasped the wheel and righted the machine. She was driving fine until a bee came along and started to do nose dives, loop the loop and tail spins around her and you should have heard the way she yelled; why she yelled so hard that “Sparky” gave a jerk and began to hit on three cylinders. She asked me, “What is the matter, did we lose the other cylinder?” I said, “No.” Well there was nothing wrong with the machine, it was only scared stiff. Well she kept TIIE LINCOLN! A 05 on going and giving “Sparky” more gas, and the more gas she gave him the faster he ran. Why she was driving so fast that “Sparky” lost the exhaust pipe. I quickly stopped the machine for she could not stop it fast enough. It was a while before I could repair it because the exhaust pipe was real hot and I did not have any gloves to wear to save my hands from getting burned. When that was fixed she began to drive again and she was driving fine until a machine would want to pass us, or a machine was going the opposite way we were going, or when a bee or any kind of an insect would be flying around and then she would get nervous and excited. I told her she would have to toughen up her nerve. She asked me how and I told her to forget the bugs and to get out of the other fellow’s way. After about another hour of teaching she really began to understand what was what. But let me tell you this much, she can drive that machine just as well as I can. Next day “Sparky” was in the garage getting repaired because he suffered considerable the preceeding day. But I don’t care, I got paid! How? Oh, that’s telling. I will have to apologize to some of the girls in the class who drive machines and some women also for I have written only about the extreme cases of women driving? Am I right, Steve? —Edward Mai. A ©rtp to iflara My chance to see Mars at last had come. A message had been sent to one of the local newspaper offices from Mars inviting a reporter to come to their land. Being a friend of a reporter I had the chance to visit Mars. First we dressed in fur coats and hoods for wre were going to make the trip by airplane, after we were dressed we climbed into the airplane, a buzz, a hum and we were off. We sailed up and up. After riding a long while a large letter M appeard below us. The driver told us that was the landing place, so we circled around and then landed. Upon taking off my goggles and hood there before me stood a small man about three feet in height. My friend asked him where the nearest hotel was and in a funny grumble he answered but we could not understand. Later an interpreter interpreted for us what the man had said. After we had taken off our fur coats we got into a two wheel vehicle that looked like a bicycle but a great deal longer. Then with a jerk we started off with a tremendous speed. I had hardly time to catch my breath when we stopped. Our guide then told us we were in the heart of the city. But to our amazement we could see no buildings or houses. But our guide told us to be patient and he knocked on a large rock and there before us a large door opened leading into the ground. We entered and there before us was a beautiful dining hall. We then seated ourselves at one of the tables and called for a waiter. But our guide told us there were no waiters in hotels at Mars and he explained to us at the side of the table was a row of buttons, each having printed on it the name of some food. My friend said he was thirsty so the guide pressed the button opposite the word water. In an instant a small tea wagon came rolling in to our table with a glass of water upon it itself. Later, after we had indulged in a hearty meal we were taken to our room or small cavern. There we discovered the same sort of arrangement of buttons but instead of having foodstuffs the small cards had printed on them, bed, dresser, chair, comb, brush, etc. 66 THE LINCOLN IA We next went out into the busy streets to watch the crowds but instead of going up above the earth we went into sort of a subway which they called a street. There we saw people about three feet in height, darting hither and thither for they all had a small contrivance something like roller skates. There were no street cars so the people were all in the street. After spending about twenty-four hours on Mars we decided to return to Cleveland. So we got into our plane and sailed for Cleveland. Thus ended an imaginary visit to Mars. —Ralph Zahour. matting fnr tlj? IrU tn 2Ung utlrnt Nnt |3rrparrh Throes of agony and uneasiness shot through me. There were still twenty-five minutes before the end of the period. Twenty-five minutes, but alas, it seemed like twenty-five years. But why should agony and uneasiness shoot through me? There was no reason visible. No reason visible? No, none visible but when I would be called on there would be a reason. I was not prepared. Four more stories were read and there were still fifteen minutes of the period left. The teacher cast a knowing look at me and I felt and I know I looked guilty. But Oh! the luck. I was not called on next. All this time I had been writing my story and after I had written about one hundred and fifty words I began to feel more easy though I still was not entirely at my ease. Some more of the stories were read and two others and I were the only ones who had not read our stories. But luck and more luck came and after one of the stories was read we entered into a discussion and this gave me more time to write my story. This story, however, was an unsatisfactory one as I learned from the teacher after I had read it. As a result of this I decided I would prepare my lesson every possible time. An fcnrmmtpr uritb ithj (0unt (Shnut I had nothing to do, not even school work; so I just sat in the coziest chair available and meditated on such worldly questions as “What will I get for Christmas.” I was rudely awakened from my reverie by the slamming of a door and I turned around. I saw nothing, but when I turned back and resumed my original position what should I see but a perfect image of myself confronting me. I said nothing and the super-natural being addressed me thus, “There is no one home but yourself is there?” I simply replied, “No.” There was silence for a moment and then I continued, “Let’s lock up and go for a walk.” “You’d do more than go for a walk,” the creature said not stirring an inch. “Well, I might,” I said, but he almost rudely interrupted, “Sit where you are You’ll do as I tell you.” I, not wishing to be dictated to by the likes of him started to rise but I sank back powerless. “Well, I thought you were going out.” he laughed. “You big stiff,” I bellowed, losing my temper and my choice of English along with it, “You’d never have me like this if I could move at all,” and he said, “Why you’re not tied, look.” I was unduly surprised to find that my legs and arms worked as well as they ever did and I asked, “Who are you?” T1IE LINCOLN IA 07 ‘‘I’m your better nature ’ he replied. “I keep you from doing things you shouldn’t do.” ‘‘I never knew I had such an unpleasant play mate,” I shot back at him, “So you’re the one who kept me from playing hooky yesterday, are you?” He replied in the affirmative and then I really grew angry. I seized a vase to throw at him and it shattered in my hand. Then I grasped the poker but I found it was immovable. “You’re powerless,” he said in a firm voice, “you know you don’t want to do that.” “No,” I slowly replied and was going to say more but the rattling of a key in the front door stopped me and my queer friend disappeared right inside of me. I’ve been nervous ever since because of it, too. Whenever I want to do a thing lately I always debate within myself first as to the advisability of the deed for fear the—well, my better self, should intervene and make an impossible and embarrassing situation out of it. Oh Yes! I’ve been a good lad lately. —Earl Glasenapp. GD. £ . The symbol, “S.O.S.” has come to mean much to the world. The three letters which form this symbol have so long been associated with certain happenings that they are almost synonomous. What mariners are not impressed by the significance of “S.O.S.” especially when the call is heard on the high seas? One remembers the New Republic and the Titanic, ships which went to their doom. Doubtless many wireless operators heard their calls of distress, that same “S.O.S.” But besides being useful on the seas the call of distress is of use on land, though not sent out in the same manner. When poverty calls for aid, the message is of as dire importance as the call of a sinking vessel. When the nation calls for support in a crisis, it may be likened to a foundering ship calling for help. Indeed all appeals for aid could be abbreviated to the form “S.O.S.” What a symbol would “S.O.S.” be then. —Donald W. Blackwell, 12A. Art nf Irtttg ICaig Som men are born lazy, some men achieve laziness and some men have laziness thrust upon them. There are some people who are the children of crooks. A thief is too lazy to work for he thinks the world owes him a living. Being lazy the easiest way to get this debt that the world owes him is an unlawful way. Therefore the children of these persons are born lazy. The lazy student is the one who achieves laziness. When he started school most likely he wasn’t lazy but as the years go on he discovers ways to get his work done without doing it himself. The pupil uses these means more and more but I believe if he would use as much brain work on his lessons as he uses in figuring out ways to get out of them himself and the other students would derive more value from their school work. A rich man’s son is invariably considered lazy. He has his laziness thrust upon him in the form of riches. Anybody rich has to have a great many good characteristics to get away from laziness. No doubt many of us would be lazy if we were rolling in riches. I believe every one of us is lazy in one respect or other, especially in regard to duties we don’t like to perform. The shortness of this composition may be considered an example of it. —Edward Moran. TIIE LINCOLMA ;s IGtttlr $trh tltat Ahmuja utells There always seems to be a little bird somewhere that tells all he knows. I believe there must be a bird for each person because I do not think that one bird could follow every one. They evidently go about their business in a very orderly manner but even so you do not know when they work. The stories of the little bird can be found in many cases. In school he seems to be acquainted with all the teachers and he makes the rounds every day. When you come to school in the morning without your lessons, you think he can go thru the day without the teacher’s knowing it. After you go to the class for which you have not prepared your lesson, there will a funny feeling come over you, wondering if the teacher will call on you. The teacher will call on some of the pupils, and then comes the time when the little bird seems to tell her to call on you. This little bird also seems to be with you at your work. If the night before you were out rather late or if you were sick the day before and came to work in the morning not feling very well, you will try and rest some place. After you go in some corner where you think that nobody will see you, behold, somebody is watching you all the time. Therefore I think that the little bird is everywhere all the time. —Theodore Steppart, 12 A. T H E L I N C O L N I A C9 Jhm on Nantes Does Pearl read the Bible ? Did Florence really Bend-her?

He realizes fully the desire of people in time of sorrow to be relieved of all necessary details, and their further desire for a character and quality of service that will leave the family with the assurance that everything humanly possible was done for the departed.

ACROSS THE STREET It happened that a man was looking for a certain number along Euclid Ave. when he stopped a stranger to get information. The stranger replied that the number was across the street. After crossing he looked again but in vain so he stopped another pedestrian but this time he asked where “across the street” was. The pedestrian replied that it was on the other side of the street. The man began scratching his head and said, “Why, I was just over there a moment ago and I was told that it was on this side.” If Steve Yurick would only take pains to run a lawn mower over his chin I’m sure the Freshman girls would like him better.

For what the most sagacious of our classmates knows is naught compared with all your wisdom learned. For you have fathomed that which lies beyond the grave. •10 THE T 0 I. I. (i A T K Letter From Class President HE time will soon be here when we must leave the halls of dear old Lincoln, never again to grace them as students of this institution; never again to return to them in one solid class as we are today. Some folks, of course, to all outward appearances will seem overjoyed at the thoughts of graduation, but deep within their hearts you will find that little spark of love for Lincoln—henceforward to be their ‘Alma Mater’. There is that little something in each soul that seems to make us love the very foundation the school is built upon, that makes us cherish the very bricks the walls are made of and the very desks that have aidea us so much in our four years of high school work. Classmates,—right here I want to thank you for your backing and your help and most of all, for the trust and confidence you placed in me by electing me to the highest office possible—that of president. You surely gave me wonderful officers with which to work. They have been the very backbone of the class and have proved their worthiness in every respect. Th$y have had your interest constantly in mind and have tried their level best to live up to your highest expectations. I, for one, wish to say that they surely have succeeded and I only hope that I have earned out my part as well. To the Stair which published this Annual, goes a great deal of honor and thanks. They have composed a product of which every member in our class may be justly proud. To the Editor, especially, we give our highest appreciation. Upon his shoulders the whole burden has rested and his none too ‘Herculean’ shoulders have successfully, completely and triumphantly born their burden. Again let me thank you both, Editor and Staff. To the members of the various committees of the class such as the ones for the informa Is, for the announcements, for the pictures, for the Colors, Flower, etc., I give a great deal of thanks. Although your work has not stood out as prominently as the work of others, it was fundamental and you deserve great credit for doing it in the willing way you did. To the members of the class who have not had the opportunity to do many things of which they feel themselves capable, I offer my apologies. Most of you, you must admit, are of the quiet type and do not show your real ability. I’m sorry I missed you. When you get into college,—remember your lesson—let people, in a mannerly way, know of your value and I’m sure they will be very glad both for your sake and for theirs. This also applies, even to a greater extent to the Business World. It’s too bad that you didn’t give your class your ability in High School. To the Faculty, enough thanks and appreciation cannot be given in this whole book. Classmates, at first we considered the Teachers as superbeings apart from us—in a cast all their own. Now is the time that we come to realize that the people most interested in us, outside of our parents, are our teachers. There’s not one of them that holds a grudge against us and there’s not a thing they wouldn’t do us for. Although, Mr. Smiley seems rather strict at times, he surely has been a wonderful friend and I thank him most sincerely for the trouble and effort he has expended upon this class, that it might leave Lincoln one of the biggest and best. We have showed our special appreciation to our Home Room Teachers —Miss Cole, Miss Miller and Miss Denison, in dedicating, this, our Annual T II K T O I. I. ; T K u to them. It is no easy task to take charge of a Senior Class and especially as large a one as we are,—about one-hundred and thirty-four strong. These teachers certainly have carried out their work successfully. Let us make Commencement not an ending to things but a beginning of our lives which I am sure will be worth while ones. Let us, “Finish to begin”. Our four years of constant companionship have made us all pretty good friends. Class—let us not forget each other, not even after we leave High School and enter the institutions of higher education or the Business World. Let us never forget our high school friends—for— “Of all the Heavenly gifts that mortal men commend, What trusty treasure in the world, can contervail a friend?” Lyndon E. Cooke.

I. (i A T K Class History AT the opening of the fall semester in 1920, several blackboards on the first floor seemed to be objects of general interest to the crowds of returning students among whom were dispersed “the freshies” for the new term, no less than 277 of them. The latter, lingering long about these blackboards, finally hit upon the initial letters of their last names, connected these with certain numbers, as fifteen, seventeen, or eighteen, and commenced to chase after their home rooms, through halls crowded with handshaking classmates, eager to “talk it over” after the long vacation. At last the more intelligent landed, one by one, into their right places, where the feeling of strangeness was soon dispelled as they chanced upon old acquaintances of their own grammar school days. Though the new “freshies” were a little shy at first, the school term with its many activities was soon going on with them in full swing. It was not long before “things began.” A brilliant record in scholarship was begun and maintained by a large percentage of the class. Their writings of literary merit soon found their way into The Log. Their young musicians soon had their places in the orchestra. Ambitious singers soon were in the glee club. Many even gamely sacrificed two good car checks to hear those historic debating teams declaim. Then there was the Junior Friendship Club, which many of the girls joined, and the Boys’ Science Club, directed by Mr. Salisbury. At the football rallies it was unnecessary to demand “more noise in the balcony” in the polite language of the cheer leader. But not only did these “freshies” yell at the rallies; they actually bought tickets to the game, where they yelled some more. Especially did they back the basketball team in that famous season of ’20, ’21. With the aid of athletics for all, inter-room basketball games were scheduled for the boys, while the G. A. A. provided recreation for its members. In the spring of ’21 a grand indoor circus and candy bazaar was held, to which nearly everybody came, and saw remarkable performances by talented students at the numerous side-shows. Between acts the boys bought ice cream cones at the booths where the good looking girls served. It seemed that the busier one was, the faster the time flew. Indeed, many were in the midst of things when various circumstances brought them to the realization that their freshman year was fast drawing to a close. The final victory of the famous basketball team was celebrated with a grand rally. The last game of the basketball season was played. The closing set of orations came off. Officers of various clubs began to think of giving suitable farewell socials. Pupils with low averages began to study up for the final exams. And finally came a certain Friday in June when each student went his way, to spend a long vacation of nearly three months, at the end of which he would return as a Sophomore. Some would go their way even after the three months were up, never to return at all, but to add to the increasing number of those who had already left Lincoln forever. ♦ 3T’LL be the week after Labor Day.” “What?” “That’s when school begins, dummy.” THE T O I. I. (i T K 43 “Gee, that’s so too. I didn’t think it was getting so close. Guess I’ll quit driving the truck and take a week’s vacation before I go back.’’ There were very few, even of those who were “having their time of it’’ during the vacation, who did not look forward to the approaching day with a joyful anticipation of getting back to “the old school and the old bunch.’’ The Monday, after Labor Day came, so jobs were quit, camp and farm gave up their sun browned youth, and the class returned to Lincoln as veteran “sophs.” But how it had changed from that of the first gathering there, one year before was the appearance of the present crowd. What with lengthened limbs, broader shoulders, and long trousers in the case of bold young fellows, who had discarded the childish knee britches for the chic bell bottoms. Those of slower development gazed in admiration upon the manly growth of down on the chins of their more matured class mates, or with shame at their yet treble pitch, remained silent as the proud owners of changed bass voices related their summer’s experiences. While the girls who were still with hanging ribboned locks, contemplated the appearances of class mates who had now entrusted their tresses to the care of rat and hairpin. So they were now back at Lincoln, and ready to begin the business. No longer would they frantically rush through the halls in search for the art or cooking room, for they were freshmen no more. After the long rest from the pains of mental application there again was interest in everything for the first few days. Once more it was all enthusiasm for school. At every encounter with a friend in the hall the questions flew. “Hey, Les, just a second. Who've ya got for English?” “Oh, the same one as last year. I’m not sore though. Well, when’s your last class?” “The seventh, but I forgot to bring the note to be excused. What do you say we go to the library and get kicked out?” “Let’s go. By the way, has your brother got a French book that he wants to sell? I dropped Latin and—but it seems as if I have a class this period. Let me see where’s that program again? Golly yes! I am due for English the third on this slip. Here goes!” Or— “Why my dear Dorothy, I haven’t seen you all morning. (Notice the better English). “Why my own darling,” (also the sugared phrases)—“I’m so glad to see you,” (smack). “I was late today, I’m ashamed to confess, and I was so mortified to have everyone stare at me as I came to my first hour class.”—etc. jrrHE second and third years at Lincoln brought increased responsibilities lil in new field of activities. The necessity of keeping their standards in their studies high and at the same time of tending to numerous other things developed their capacity for work, which stood them in well in their senior year. The French and Spanish Clubs could now be joined by students who had at least a year of these languages to their credit. The Radio Club, The Officers Club, The Girls Friendship, Leaders Club, Gym, Science, and Commercial Clubs, were also now open to the advanced students. Many of them having the qualities of leadership, they naturally assumed responsible offices in these various organi- •it T II E T 0 I. 1, ii A T E zations. By their Junior year The Log staff was largely recruited from their numbers. Lyndon Cooke, Margaret Paillon, Viola Luethjohn, Frank Blankschaen, whose dramatic ability was discovered by Miss Marchand through their illustrious work in oratory, contributed much to the success of “Green Stockings,” the school play given in May, 1923. Another Dramatic success was the minstrel show put on by the Glee Club. On this occasion more evidence of the ability in the class was given when Bennie Lentz added to the enjoyment of the program by a few of his dances. With the purpose of giving parents of the military work in the school, a demonstration was given before an audience in the gym on the night of the track meet, by a Platoon composed mostly of our own boys and commanded by Lieutenant Scott. Ralph Scott was also prominent in Military Training as the leader of the eight men who won the banner for being the crack squad at the field meet in the Sophomore year; and later as president of the Officers’ Club. GANG of wild, yelling boys sprauling over a group of desks in room 308, 310 or 302 at eight before school and with morning papers v spread about, loudly talking about the last game, or (not so loudly) about the experiences of the night before; pretty primpers grouped around the mirrors in the cloak room, each anxious to put on an attractive appearance for a certain somebody; tall, dignified students, burdened with accumulated responsibilities wandering through the halls during class time, unmolested by the stirring teacher who sends the timid little freshmen scampering away to the study hall; or the same beings strolling into the library and, for a little recreation from work and worry, wiggling a table on their knees with impunity, while the little flat again, cowers under the severe reproach of the librarian for a less offense;—what can all these significant privileges mean to one acquainted with high school ways but the senior year? The last and best year at Lincoln was the climax in work and responsibility, but also in enjoyment of school life. What with athletics, orations, leadership in clubs, the play, the Log, the management of the business and socials of the class, the annual, and not forgetting the student of four or five subjects, many a senior who was and even but a few of such activities, often, in spite of all the fun, must have thought “How nice it would be to be a ‘Freshie’ once more.” Of important events of the Senior year, the following might be mentioned,—a review of the Lincoln battalion, the first affair of its kind in the history of Military Training at the school, was held, with a dance in the gymn afterwards. W'ith the beginning of the second term in February the Log was changed in form from the old monthly magazine to a snappy newspaper of four pages, which served as something practical for the new journalism class to work on. On March 28 the school’s four musical organizations gave a musicale. Three of the outstanding musicians of the class gave solo performances: Alma Schirmer entertained on the piano, Adolph Feher on the clarinet, and Clarence Wenger on the violin. Because of the dramatic ability in the class as revealed by the success of “Green Stockings,” the year before, another play was arranged to be given by the Dramatic Club, with Edna Lempke and Jack Foster taking part. “Mr. Pirn Passes By,” the comedy selected, took its characters, with one exception, from the members of the class. T H K T O 1, L (i A T K 45 The class was organized early in the 12B term. From the beginning the best discipline and the most hushed silence prevailed at all the meetings. This must have pleased Miss Van Fleet greatly. After the constitution was framed, a fine set of officers was elected, and everything else put in readiness, the class activities were begun. The first social gathering was the class party in the auditorium, followed by an informal dance. Hilda Malon, Lyndon Cooke, and Jack Foster, some of the untiring officers, found time to write and give a very entertaining one act comedy, which contributed most materially to the enjoyment of the affair. When Alma Kruse, Paul Bures, Ed Martin, A1 Berr, and Carlton Schnell struck up the music for the dance, many of the boys, to the consternation of some of the girls who were anxious stood clustered up against the wall. Finally, however, the most of them, to their credit, made the experiment and got used to it. In most cases there was much enthusiasm shown, as is usual with a boy's first dance and many bravely resolved to “take somebody to the informal. To the delight of all the dancers permission was gained to have a second dance. It was voted to plan this affair on the order of the class party, an entertainment by some of the class members, followed by an informal dance, this time in the gymn. The end drew near. Virgil with its accessory grammars was sold for the.price of a ticket to the bleachers, or—as is perhaps more likely for Seniors about to graduate who find their funds running low after buying their clothes, pictures, and rings, which by the way fit perfectly (on the thumb)—for the price of a “Tollgate.” Commencement is to come, and, although more than half their number have dropped by the wayside, the largest class in the history of the school will graduate from Lincoln in June 1924. —George Lieberman. T II E T O I. I, (i A T K 4� i HALL 0F FAME THE T O L L (i A T E 47 Class Prophecy HE Class Prophecy! How are we ever going to write it?” We put the question eagerly to the wizardly looking gentleman seated opposite us in a huge overstuffed chair. Nelson and I had been at the end of our rope about this very prophecy and finally, almost in despair we had gone to consult Thurston, the magician, who was in town for a few days before going to New York. “Well! Well.” he laughed joyfully, I have a little device that may help you out. He went out of the room leaving us staring at each other in surprise; but returned shortly, not with a crystal ball as I had expected but with two pairs of tiny spectacles. “Put them on, he commanded, “Wish yourself twenty years hence and you may behold the future.” To be absolutely truthful I was not particularly enthusiastic about the experiment, but as I glanced over my shoulder and beheld Nelson putting on his specs with an air of bravado, I closed my eyes, pushed on my pair, and wished myself twenty years in the future. There was the rushing of a strong cold breath against my ears, a great whirl and I opened my eyes to find myself standing by Nelson’s side in the street. “Hello, he said. “If there isn’t a restaurant! Let’s eat! So in we marched, straight into the neat little restaurant, and choosing a table near a window, sat down. A neat little waitress clad in crisp white flitted by us. “Nelson, I exclaimed, “Isn’t that Margaret Bartch? “It looks like her, “He answered, “But see here, that’s our old friend, Arnold Rasch carrying soiled dishes back to the kitchen. Just then a business like waitress came up for our order. “Why, hello there, Flossie Reidel, what are you doing here? “Can’t you see? she replied flippantly and proceeded to take our order. We had just finished our soup and were starting on chicken and dumplings when we beheld proceeding toward us a tall blonde man with a huge, carefully curled mustache. If it isn’t friend proprietor, Nelson observed, “probably wants to know if everything’s all right. Huh! Well if it isn’t Ray Bertram! “Strangers here, aren’t you? demanded Ray. “What do you think of my restaurant? he continued, “Prettv clever eh? We told him we had seen some of our former classmates. “Ralph Lorko is in my employ also, returned Ray, “He is a speed demon at dish washing! I laughed for who can imagine that basketball star, who once claimed a column a night on the sport pages, washing dishes? I could see that Nelson was taken down also! “And, Raymond continued, twisting his cute mustache, “Dorothy Boehm, Evelyn Brinkhoff, Norma Chevalier and Gladys Frobieter are my waitresses also. Frank Drabek and Paul Dudich help out on busy days, doing little odds and ends you know, drying dishes and carrying trays to the kitchen. If you have time go up and see Del Auer. He’s on the fifth floor of this building. Eileen Maurer is his secretary. Del’s a lawyer you know. “What delicious pie! I commented. “The Helen H. Haladay Pie Company, he answered, “We always get our pie there. •IS T H E T 0 L I. G T E I was stunned to say the least and almost dropped my fork as I pictured again in my mind a scene of my girlhood. Namely the Haladay kitchen, with Helen offering me pie of her own baking. I recall that I was forced to devour the contents (between crusts) with a spoon and I am being perfectly truthful when I say that I was not the same for a week afterwards. Yes, I was certainly surprised. “Come,” said Nelson, “We must be on our way.” We bade Ray goodbye and were again on the street. “It isn’t late. Let’s take in a matinee,” suggested Nelson and we hurried down the Avenue together. “Extrie! Extrie,” yelled a dirty street urchin. Nelson stopped and bought a paper. “George Ralph’s editor,” he said fishing through the pages for theater ads . “And Cressie Glynn is on the staff too. Hilda Malon writes features—sort of flapperish stuff—but clever. Here it is—Scott’s Palace, ‘Ralph Scott’s newest play house. Naomi Damon, Lyndon Cooke and Walter A. L. Fleck starring in ‘Why Women Leave Home.’ Lyndon Cooke is supposed to be the lovingest stage lover. The Rudy Valentino of the present stage. “What’s this?” asked Nelson, his eyes falling on the opposite page of the paper which happened to be the sport page. I stared, my eyes popping out of my head as I beheld Evie Long’s image smiling out at me under the headlines “Evie Long beats Helen Wills in finals—Is New World Tennis Champ,” and just below “The Yale Football Team Which Joe Zola Coached To Victory.” My companion closed his paper and we proceeded on our way, when suddenly I stopped with a little thrill of rapture. The darlingest little hat rested on a pedestal in a tiny millinery shop on the Avenue. I decided, though not having a cent of money in my pocket, to try it on and left Nelson outside looking disgusted and bored . A black clad lady came forward as I entered and who do you suppose this little milliner could be? None other than Helen Mussen! She greeted me cordially and our talk drifted to old classmates. She told me that she was in partnership with Loretta Kanter and that Dorothy Mulac, on account of her superb knowledge of the French language, was their chief buyer in Paris. I had just tried on my dream hat when a tall, beautiful young business woman entered. I did not recognize her until Nelson said, “How do you do, Miss Koch.” Just then I caught Nelson looking into the window with quite a scowl on his face and so I bade the girls goodbye and joined him again. “Come on,” he said. “We’ll be late for the show.” We were ushered into “Scott’s Palace,” by Lucy Schram, who confided to us that May Gild-ersleeve and Marie Haase were ushers there also. I wouldn’t have missed that matinee for anything. I never saw such acting. The accompanying orchestra was the most wonderful I had ever heard and no wonder. Clarence Wenger directing, was more graceful than ever at Lincoln. He seemed to be doing an interpretive dance as he waved this way and that. Adolph Feher was playing the clarinet with unusual genius,Alma Schirmer was at the piano. I saw Lauretta Nierman swinging a wicked bow over her violin, Lester Stolte was strumming away at a banjo and Carlton Schnell was producing a wierd tune on his saxophone. Louis Siedell had deserted his position at the organ of a great church for a position with this orchestra and occasionally the notes of his organ mingled with the rest under Clarence’s apt direction. When the play was over Nelson suggested that wre have some ice cream so we went into the shop next door. This time wrho do you suppose came THE TO L I, (i A T E 40 and took our order? None other than Esther Dietz, and I saw Elsie Adams bustling around to get hot chocolate for the very business-like lady in a severely tailored suit, who was sitting at a table in the corner. She nodded her head at me just then and the business like lady raised her eyes also and lifted a lorgnette to get a better look at me. 1 felt rather silly beside this dazzlingly capable young woman, but imagine the shock when, as she nodded recognition, I realized it was Lucille Hieber! To say 1 nearly collapsed was mild. When Esther returned to bring Nelson the change she told us that Lenny Kothera owned this little ice cream shop but was thinking of moving to Canada on account of the dry climate in the states, and that Lucille Ulm and Helen Stroh were planning to buy it on a partnership basis. She added that she thought the shop would never succeed under their management because of their fondness for ice cream. She said that they would probably eat themselves bankrupt. She told us too, that Esther Mayer and Frances Speller were gym teachers in a nearby high school of which Roger Sabine was principal. “He is known all around as a very strict disciplinarian as well as being very learned,” she added. “Mary Meyer, Albina Sauer and Evelyn Schlott are teaching there; Florence Schultz is typing instructor and Alice Sparling is head of the cafeteria. They say she puts up swell meals.” Here Esther cut her conversation short and scampered off as a very cross looking individual with a silk hat and a cane entered. I saw that it was the proprietor Leonard Kothera, himself. Just then a little group of laughing women entered and I noticed that they were Arlene Hoenig, Dorothy Cullen, Esther Linden and Marion Weckerling. They were discussing the best way to preserve pickles and how to keep husbands from throwing cigar ashes on the floor. Laura Irwin and Achsa Dinsmore came in a few moments later. They fluttered up again and pushing a magazine under my nose scurried off to wait on the new customers. A very lovely girl adorned the cover. She was blonde with amber eyes. I gazed enraptured and then saw that it was Eldred Aring painted by Laura Uhler. Eldred had just won another beauty contest and famous artists from all over the country were painting her portrait. I leafed through the magazine, discovering a picture of Luisa Heyl who was playing the lead in a very classic Latin play called “The First Days of Pompeii,” written by Catherine Tobias. There was an article on the many practical uses of Algebra by Mildred Weber, too, but I didn’t pause to read it. Pictures of iTelen Sien, Elsie Skorepa and Mary Wilkins proclaimed them rivals for the crown of Nita Naldi—film vamp and finally I came upon a full page picture of Hazel Huy—accompanying an article written by her on the advantages of bobbed hair. Although fifteen years ago the world had returned to sleek coiffures, Hazel was still advocating the bob. I closed the magazine with a laugh. “Where do we go from here?” I asked Nelson. “I'll show you,” he answered and I’ll let him finish the story. —Lois Wedel. 50 THE TO I. I, T. A T K ERE comes the answer’' said I, as I beheld a short heavy-set man approaching. I easily recognized him as Steve Maschuk, in spite of the fact that he was mostly disguised by a large, drooping, mustache, and a still larger cowboy hat. He recognized me at the same time and let out a war-whoop which almost convinced me that I owed him some money. He evidently was glad to see me. At once he confided that he had come to town to see his lawyers about his ranch in California. “Say,” demanded Lois, “do you know whether Valaria Grunau is out there in the movies?” “Yes she is,” returned Steve, “but whom do you suppose she plays with ?” “Why Clem Caballa is out there too, is that whom you mean?” Then Steve explained that soon after Clem left school he went to Los Angeles to live. Clem got so cross-eyed from looking at the many beautiful actresses that Ben Turpin, the famous comedian, took notice. As Turpin was about ready to leave the movies, he offered to train Clem to take his place. Now Caballa is known as Benzine Turpentine, the greatest comedian in the movies. Eventually Clem succeeded in getting several of his friends in the company with him. Valaria, as was said, is his leading lady. Frank Blankshaen is his director, and Herb Dorffeld, a camera man. We had been walking up the avenue as we were talking and we soon stopped in front of a large building. I noticed that the name read, “Wilcox Building” and remarked that the name sounded familiar. Lois told us that Alice Wilcox owned the building and claimed the distinction of owning the first building in the city that had an aviation field on its roof. “What,” said Steve, looking upward, “Is there an aviation field up there?” I then showed him a sign, “Aerial station, number 3, City Fire Department. As we were still looking, there came a loud whistle and a small dirigible sailed off the roof. Men were hanging on the sides, putting on their coats as if it were a fire-truck. Lois also told us that Carl Fiala and Herbert Horstemeier were the pilots at that station. The dirigible was soon out of sight and we entered the building. As we were going up on the elevator, Lois wanted to know if it was Louis Friedman she saw as the dispatcher for the elevator. Steve said it could not have been because Louis was the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and lived in Atlanta. It also reminded him that Paul Bures and Ed Martin had a dancing academy in Atlanta and that Laura Dickenson and Lillian Ettinger were instructors at the school. We left the elevator and walked down the hall where we stopped in front of an office. The names on the door were Vereeke, Philipbar and Svec, attorneys-at-law. Steve told us these were school-mates of ours and the lawyers he had come to see. Inside, Steve told our friends the nature of his business but was informed that this firm now made a specialty of divorce cases. Lester then directed him to go to some woman lawyers across the hall, but did not say until Steve was gone that the feminine lawyers were our class-mates, Jeanette Campbell, Dorothy Ball, and Janet Forbes. Glancing up at the wall, I saw a large picture of a dignified lady dressed in a robe. I asked Dan if it was his wife. “Your ignorance is refreshing,” he answered, “you should know that lady for two reasons, first because she is Margaret Hiemberger an old friend of yours, and because she is the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.” THE TOUCATE r, i In answer to our question if any other of our classmates were in politics, he told us that Clem Guelzow and Roozy Liberatore had just been elected to Congress, on the platform of “Equal rights for Men.” He also informed us that John Dorsey and Harold Deobold had not gone in for politics, as was expected; but that the inseparable red-heads were still in the monkey business, both having been appointed as keepers at a zoo. He also told us that Delma Loyer, Ira Muelhauser, and Mike Pilot were our country’s greatest financiers, Delma being known as the biggest man on Wall Street. Bill showed us a clipping which Lenore Troster had sent him from some small town in southern Ohio. It read as follows: “Two well known farmers will compete for Checker Championship. Stuart Muenter versus Ray Wagner in a three game series. The proceeds will go to the Ladies Aid Society of which Alice Going is president.” At last we had learned all that these lawyers knew of alumni of 1924 and we were again in the hall. Lois called my attention to the door of another office upon which was the sign: “Dr. A. H. Berr, Jr. and Dr. Thomas Cery. Heebi Jeebi and Logo on Bogo specialists. I suggested that we pay them a visit also. Once inside, we were somewhat surprised to learn that Betty Davis and Catherine Wyman were secretaries for the doctors. Betty told us that Thelma Hansen, Ethel Freund, and Thelma Hilt-brunner, the noted lady architects, had just finished repairing the Atlantic City Board Walk. She also gave us the information that Bill Hotz broadcasts bedtime stories over the radio. I picked up a copy of “Popular Mechanics” which was lying on the table and as I turned over the pages, I noticed that some remarkable inventions were made by former students of Lincoln. Esther Tappe and Margaret Paillon developed “George Bungle’s” idea of a rear seat steering wheel for Fords. To Elsie Vogt and Mary Wilkens goes the honor of being the world’s greatest machinists. The wheel of justice got a flat tire and they vulcanized it. Lois, who had been reading a paper, told us that Lucy Schram, Evelyn Schlott, and Bernice Malik were hunting alligators in the Rocky Mountains. Catherine told us that a salesforce composed of Ethel Winold, Radiance Lyons, and Margaret Weber were selling snow shoes in the Fiji Islands. As we arose to go, Alfred gave us Charles Miller’s card and asked us to look him up. We told him we would and in about ten minutes we were standing in front of a small store in the downtown district. Presently we saw this sign on the window. “Doll Hospital, C. Miller, Proprietor.” We finally managed to survive the shock and went inside. There we met Edna Lempke, Viola Leuthjohn and Edith Ludlow, who were his chief nurses. After we had talked a while I asked Chuck what became of his namesake Joe Miller. Chuch replied that Joe was a barber in Russia. On account of a reform started by Eugene Hanson and Bill Maharidge, which allowed the Bolshevics to shave, his business has been very good. Viola next told us that Alma Kruse, Annie Matheson and Charlotte Kosky, who are famous sculptors, had just finished the work on Stone Mountain in Ga., which was started in 1923. “By the way,” said Edna “did you know that Elmer Riekowski and Chester Reinke made a fortune by discovering an island of tailless rats.” “No said I, did they write a book about it?” “No,” she replied, “they went into the retail business.” Some one also said that Jack Poe under the name of Jack Smith is the world’s greatest 52 TIIE T O L I. (; A T E musical comedy producer. His only rival as a producer was Belasco; and ’tis said that his eye for feminine charms surpassed even that of Flo Ziegfield. His cast includes Frank Mastney as leading man and Thelma Seddinger as leading lady. Not wishing the others to carry off all the honors in knowing the whereabouts of our classmates, I remarked that Henry Bogzewitz was the heavy weight champion of the world. “You’re wrong.” said Peanuts, “He was the champ till he met George Lieberman the other night at New York. He defeated George all right but the judges gave the decision to George. Henry then became enraged and knocked out the referee, two judges, a policeman, and four innocent bystanders.” Henry is now sojourning in Mexico among the peaceful natives.” “Well,” said Lois, “It’s getting late so I must be going.” In a few minutes we were again walking up the avenue. As we passed a large newspaper building, we saw on the tenth floor a person washing windows. We thought he closely resembled Jack Foster. Suddenly he slipped and fell into space. Something seemed to be tearing at my eyes to turn them from the horrible spectacle. I summoned all my will power to resist for I wanted to make sure it was Jack. Then all went black. I came to looking up into the smiling face of Thurston, the magician. He informed me that he had to hit me on the head to get those spectacles off and that was what made my head so sore. Lois interrupted at this point, wanting to know what Jack Foster was doing upon that building. “That’s easy,” said I, “Jack told me yesterday that he was going into the newspaper business at the bottom, and work up. But I don’t think he figured on such a quick descent.” PITY THE CAN T II E T O L L (i A T E Class Poem By Paul Rusch 3 WALKED one day 'mid rustic scenes of trees That towered high above my head, and this They seemed to say in friendly melody: “Now teil to all these words of wisdom gleaned By us, while here in solitude we grew, The silent watchers of the human race: HE time, when you must leave behind those things ' That formerly have filled your lives and reigned Supreme within your hearts, to you has come As it must for all. Now, as you go With lagging feet from happy times that you Have had, you say farewell to faithful friends But vow to keep fond thoughts of friendships sweet. Then as you enter life’s long winding lane Keep e’er with you the vision bright, that came To you in youthful dreams. And let it shine So clear and clean that it will light the path Of life. Thus let no cloud of bleak despair O’er shadow days that should be fair. TIT EEP within your heart that cheering gleam that men Call hope. Let trust and faith hold conquering sway; Nor strive for futile earthly pomp or wealth. There is today no need of those who seek For yellow gold; but there is call for those Who ever strive for nobler things. Then be Prepared to do, to dare, to win the fight For lasting universal happiness. You have the youth, you have the strength, now fight, To win, and honor Lincoln’s noble name. T il K T O I.

Be brave, ready, and loyal.” “Be brave, ready and loyal,” this is the charge given to the newly made knight as he set forth on the new life that lay before him. He had been trained in the mastery of self and in the mastery of sword and lance. He had learned to endure hunger and thirst, and heat and cold, to run great distances and to climb jagged cliffs. Not only to be courageous however, but to be kind and courteous had he been taught, always loyal to the man who had trained him and always gallant. It must have been a wonderful sight when the proud knight mounted his charger and galloped away from the castle. His armor was bright and shining; his golden spurs, an especial badge of honor, gleamed in the sunlight. From his helmet waved the scarf of his “lady-love in chivalry” for whose glory deeds of valor were performed. His shield bore an engraved device by which he might be known—his “arms” or “coats of arms” as it has been called. From his belt hung his sword, the hilt forming the sacred sign of the cross which he had sworn to protect. So we, the June class of 1924 set off on the untried road that lies before us, the road of life. We have chosen as our steed, the faithful friend of every knight, the motto, “ad astra per aspera.” Eager and unafraid, we have hitched our wagon to the stars. Dauntless and intrepid we shall seek to attain our goal. May our motto be always with us, as was the mount of the knight of old. We have adjusted our armor of strong faith and determination and flung across our shoulders our baldric, an ensign of loyalty to the One for whose glory the battles of life must be won. We have chosen a scarf of lavender hue, signifying the fragile sweet-pea, the symbol of our class. This flower represents to us the weak and delicate creatures of God's world whose interests we shall always guard and whose protection shall be our mission. Before us we bear a shield upon which you may discern the letters L. H. S. the “arms” of the castle wherein we have received our training. We, too, wear the golden spurs of faith and a badge of honor which shall never tarnish or grow dull. So in our splendor we ride away to the new duties which lie before us. As the storied knights of old shall endeavor to be true to our charge, “to be brave, ready, and loyal.” —Margaret Paillon.

(S A T E Our Basketball Season •p INCOLN failed in the crucial games. This statement accounts for ! Lincoln’s position in the senate standings. In the early games of the season the Lincoln High quintet proved to be a real terror on the basketball count. State High, Cleveland Heights and South all met defeat because of Lincoln’s “go get ’em policy.” Then came the crash—Lincoln’s dreams and hopes of once more becoming the senate’s “best” were blasted. The chance to show the many basketball enthusiasts of Cleveland that Lincoln could repeat without AI Kapl vanished as the West Tech basketeers romped to a victory. From then on Lincoln played on a fifty-fifty basis, beating Berea; losing a tough battle to Central; coming back to life and walloping Commerce; then succumbing under a most unmerciful beating at the hands of East High’s champ outfit. When the final whistle blew at Eagles Hall ending the Central-Lin-coln game Capt. Charles Miller hung his suit up for the last time. The recent eight-semester, ruling cheating the basketball squad of “Peanuts” services as captain and player in the remaining games. Lincoln will remember always, the great work on the baseball diamond, the near-miracle feats on the gridiron and the honest unceasing efforts on the basketball court of her real all around athlete, Charles Miller. Lincoln next lost a thriller to our west side enemies, West High. The final games of our senate schedule were completed by successive victories over Longwood and John Marshall. Though Lincoln’s record for the year was far from successful Coach Cochran gave the team one more chance to redeem themselves. Lincoln entered the Reserve Tournament. To our bitter disappointment Lincoln was to play Lakewood High, Quad Champ in the first contest. Lakewood won, but the Lincoln team went down to a glorious defeat. Those boys fighting to keep Lincoln on top in basketball gave all they had to give our school a victory. They lost in the final minute of play but as one of a few ardent Lincoln rooters said, “Lincoln did fight.” Next year’s football and basketball varsities play that game to win and make a real effort to raise Lincoln once more to her rightful place “in the sun” in athletics. Capt. Charles Miller Ralph Lorko Ralph Scott Arthur Nitsche Peter Hovanec THE SQUAD Herbert Miller Lawrence Ulrich Joe Zola Michael Pilot Leonard Kothera —Ralph Lorko Football and Track HE football team of 1923 gave positions to quite a number of the ijl June ’24 class. “Peanuts” Miller, the dashing fullback captain, piloted his eleven through many pitched battles. Not always was he victorious but always he had the satisfaction of knowing that his men had cooperated with him. In the backfield with “Peanuts” was Frank Mastny. He, showing the true Lincoln spirit, many times made great gains through the opponents’ lines and was a good man as interference for the captain. “Cem” Guelzow and Joe Miller both played hard on the line and often stopped the smashing impact of the enemies’ offense. 74 T II K T 0 I. I. ii T K Not all of our fellows made the first team. Joe Zola, Frank Drabek, Stew Muenter and Bill Hotz were great workers as subs. This team was successful for it finished but a fraction of a point below the senate leaders. But for that fraction of a point Lincoln would have captured the senate laurels. ASKETBALL and football are not the only sports indulged in at Lincoln. This year a track team was formed and worked under a great handicap. Without a coach they trained themselves for a number of weeks, then Coach Cochran took them under his wing. Tommy Cery was made captain of the team. The greater percentage of the squad is made up of members of our class. Zola, Hotz, Bures, McKinstry, Bog-zevitz, Sabine, Drabek, Scott, Lorko, and Kothera. The team has thus far been entered in two meets but as yet they have been unsuccessful in capturing a prize. Girl Sports HIR-R-R! The whistle blew. The final game of the 12A Girls’ iflfl Basketball Team was over and won. They became the champions of 1924. The team consisted of: Valaria Grunau _________________________ R. F.

This cup is given by the G. A. A. and each year hence the winning team will have its name inscribed upon the cup. Although the 12A’s came through first the other classes had teams that deserved recognition. The lOA’s finished second having lost but one game.

They occupied second place last year but this year they intend to secure first place. With that spirit they ought to do something worth while. Go to it girls! The team hasn’t been chosen as yet but the material looks good. The A’s are not the only ones enthusiastic over baseball. The Junior, Sophomore and Freshman teams have future stars. With such bright prospects the baseball series will be a fight from start to finish. It has been decided to hold a tennis tournament this year among the four classes. This tournament will be held in the same way as basketball and baseball was held. The winner of her respective class will play the winners of the three other classes to decide which girl is tennis champion at Lincoln. There will be singles and doubles. The girls of each class who can play tennis are earnestly requested to participate in the tournament. Irene Gedeon, who is Head of Tennis in the G. A. A., has charge of the tournament. It has not been decided whether there will be any rewards but we hope so. ♦p'RANCES SPELLER, Valaria Grunau and Evelyn Long are the first W three girls to have the “L.” Each one has worked hard and secured her five numerals which entitles her to a letter. They will be given out the day that rewards for scholarship and athletics are presented. We hope that by that time more girls will be ready for their letters. In closing, I wish to say that we, the girls of the 12A class who have been enthusiastic in the line of athletics bid you farewell and earnestly hope that in the future years Lincoln High School will continue to oe proud of her girl athletes. —Evelyn Long.

It has three officers: chairman, secretary, and treasurer. The Music Cabinet, whose membership is limited to twenty, is in reality the head of the Music Department, with Miss Mallory as advisor It takes charge of the music at Rhetoricals, entertainments, musicals, and some meetings. The first project of the Cabinet was the musicale given in March. This was a great success, both in a financial way and in bringing forth the school talent. The arranging of the program and the financial work of the concert was left in the hands of the Cabinet members.

We have travelled through four years of high school work and now we stand the elite of Lincoln High. Yet a little while and we are with you and then a little while and we shall be gone from these halls forever. But before we leave we wish to thank all of you, Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors, for the encouragement and support that you have given us in making this annual a success. It was only possible through you that we could produce the “Tollgate.” When you become Seniors you will appreciate more than now what it has meant to us. Now, we go forth on many roads. Some of us will enter institutions of higher learning; some of us will choose our life work. But none of us will be associated with Lincoln High except in the spirit that holds all of the red and white graduates together. All that we ask you who are left behind is to keep ever before you the precedent of Lincoln to hold high the torch that has always radiated knowledge and charity and to strive to follow the school’s motto “Vincit qui se Vincit” for by it all can vanquish. Juniors and Seniors JUNIORS and Seniors, you are the upper classmen of the school. On 41 your shoulders rest the bulk of the burdens of carrying on the acti-“vities. Presidents of clubs, the Log staff and speakers at rhetorical? are chosen from your numbers. Our valedictory gift to you is a package of encouragement and wishes for remarkable success in all you attempt. We have enjoyed the various activities of Lincoln. We hope that you will get the same entertainment from them that we have and we hope that no club will be discontinued because of your indifference. Success, upper classmen! T II K T O I. I, (i T K 11. . Soph lomores OPUS, if we were anything but an enlightened Senior class, we should spring that old wheeze about your being wise fools but being at the acme of knowledge, we shall not stoop to the hackneyed. Does it not feel wonderful to be out of that period of disillusionment which is called “Freshmen” or more commonly “Flats.” Yes, you are actually becoming something in the world. Pretty soon you will be Juniors and then Seniors and then you can wish for nothing more. We wish to congratulate you for enduring that first year of trials. Now you can look anybody in the school in the eye on almost an equal footing. Sophs, farewell and luck. Freshmen |J UR class started out with over two hundred members in 1920. Now I |tJ there are but one hundred and thirty four who will engage in the commencement exercises. We make this statement with a feeling of shame for we hate to think that so many of us were so blind as to leave school without graduating. Freshmen, you have started out with a class almost as large as ours. We, who have voyaged the four years and know that they have been worth while years despite the shoals of discouragement, give this parting suggestion. Do not be contented with one year of high school training nor two nor three. Any single hour spent in school is valuable but to us it seems almost futile to attend high school at all unless one enters it with the intention of being graduated. That is all. Adios. 11« T HE TOLLGATE THE FAVORED ONE Slowly and gently he moved his arm around her waist. She trembled and a thrill ran through her body, but still she tried to hold him off. No one should honestly be able to say that she had knowingly allowed any young man to place an arm about her. And he, seeing the disapproving and angry look in her wonderful eyes, partly withdrew him arm, and then as if moved by some sudden thought, he slowly again advanced his embracing arm. Why should he not be the favored one, the first one to encircle her with his manly arms? He was so strong and handsome, and had always had his own way in everything. Gently and cautiously he extended his outstretched arm—now it was well past the middle of her slender waist. Ah! At last! His fingers caught the elusive object; with a sudden pull he tightened the wild mare’s saddlegirth. King—What ho, the guard! Prime Minister—Sire, the guard has lost his umbrella, and it is raining. King—Then, what ho, the mud guard! And simply Because A man with A Roman nose Gets Lit up It does Not Prove That his Nose Is a Roman Candle. “She asked me to kiss her on either cheek.” “Which one did you kiss her on?” “I hesitated a long time between them.” Annie—Last week he sent me candy, saying sweets to sweet. Laurie—A pretty sentiment. What of it? Annie—But now he sends me an ivory hair brush. Proctor (entering the room)—“You're drunk. I saw you running around in a circle.” Freshman—“No, sir, I’m not Jdrunk. I was trying to read .the name of a Victrola record while it was playing.” Three young brides committed suicide yesterday—they went mad over their new Community Plate. THE TOLI.G A T K 117 GRAPE NUTS I hate women, They bore me. Their perfume stings my eyes, Their powder soils my coat, Their talk drives me crazy, They are fickle, oh how fickle, They lie unceasingly, everlastingly, They dance horribly, They always get in the way of my feet, They are so dumb, They love the “Do you know” game,— I hate women, They bore me. Congratulate me, I have just Announced my engagement. Page—Twenty-three more wives have just divorced you, sir. Solomon—That’s all right. Lots more where those came from. Page—No, sir. They are all married, sir. Solomon—Well, send the army out and make a few widows. Don’t you find it hard to meet expenses at college?” “Hard? Why, I meet them at every turn!” She don’t you think that talkative women are the most popular? He—What other kinds are there? Longfellow was funny enough to make the college humor magazine. He made Minnehaha. Drunk—Shay, offisher, where ish Main Street? Law—You are standing on it. Drunk—No wonder I couldn’t find the shing. So few men leave footprints on the sands of time because most of them are always busy covering up their tracks. Cop—You’re looking awful, old man, what’s the matter? Goof—Not (hie) notta thing (hie) in the worl Cop—Come on with me, you’re full! Goof—Full nothin’ (hie). Juscome on across the street (hie) and I’ll show you I’m not full by drinking s’more. No, I don’t think that co-ed will take good care of her children. Her wrist-watch always has a dirty face. Cy—I heer Josh Perkins is in bed with hay fever. Ed—Yes, he caught it in town, dancing with a grass widder. Act 1.—Mistress—Mary, if anyone asks if I am at home, just give them an evasive answer. Mary—Yes, mum. Act 2—Mrs. Reginald Smith-Jones—Is your mistress home? Mary—Was your grandmother a monkey? 11S T II K T O L L (i T E WHY I COMMITTED SUICIDE I loved her. She was beautiful, adorable, divine. I told her so. My obviousl sincerity convinced her of the essential truth of my protestations. The realization came that with all these attributes she was worthy of much more than I could offer. A man by the name of Charles supplanted me. He told her that she was ugly, stupid, deformed, repulsive, and bow-legged. She became alarmed at the loss of her powers and begged that he marry her. But such, Saint Peter tells me, is the way of women. Farmer Brown: How’s yer son, Josh, makin’ out at collidge? Neighbor Green: Tolerable well, thank ye. Recken he must be working in some furrin exchange bank or other in his spare time. Farmer Brown: Thet so? Neighbor Green: Yes, he writ hum he was puttin’ in a lot o’ time at the Pole Vault. Our idea of a ventriloquist is one who can answer two consecutive names at roll-call and get away with it. “Hello, James, what are you doing walking around this time of the night?’’ “I’m just taking the air.’’ “Doctor’s orders?” “No, girl 1 just proposed to.” History Prof.—Jenkins, why did Hannibal go over the Alps? Jenkins—For the same reason that the chicken crossed the road. You don’t catch me with no riddle. MATHEMATICAL A—What’s a tetrahedron? B—You mean an icosahedron? A—No, a tetrahedron. B—Well, wouldn’t you like to know what an icosahedron is? A man bought a suit from a Jewish clothier for ten dollars. When he opened the suit at home he discovered it was alive with moths. He took the suit back to the Jew and said: “I can’t take this suit, it’s full of moths.” To which the Jew replied: “Well, vat do you vant for ten dollars? Mocking birds?” ___________________ She—Archie, isn’t Niagara wonderful! I could just stand and look at it forever. He—But wouldn’t it be rather trying to go through life with a cataract in one’s eye? Prof.—Give me a sentence with the word “boycott” in it, used correctly. Pupil—Farmer Jones chased his son and didn’t catch him until his boy caught on a wire fence. One absent-minded professor was ideal, from the student view. “Jones, when was the treaty of---” he began. “Why, I’m absent today, professor,” Jones interrupted. “Ah, pardon me. Miss Smith, will you answer the question?” “You never can tell,” said the bandit, as he shot the only witness to his crime. T II E T O I. L (i A T E 119 MODEST MAID At twelve o’clock she stifled a yawn. The poor boob who always spent the evening—and nothing else—asked, “Are you sleepy so soon?” “Oh, no,” she replied, “it’s just my retiring disposition.” The new night watchman at the Observatory was watching someone using the big telescope. Just then a star fell. “Begorra,” he said to himself, “that fella sure is a crack shot.” “Why, Bill, what happened to you in the football game today? You’ve lost your front teeth.” “No, indeed, I haven’t. Here they are in this handkerchief.” Freshman—Do horses bray? Soph—Neigh, neigh, my child. “The Jones family are religious but very lazy.” “Very lazy.” “Yes, they pile the month’s provisions on the table on the first and one blessing does for the rest of the month.” The watchman in the graveyard approached a figure lying in the gras3 of the cemetery. He kicked the tramp, who woke up with an injured air. “What are you doing?” answered the weary traveler, “When I am in Rome I do as the Romans do.” A FIELD FOR AMBITION “Yes, father,” said the young man just out of college, “I’ve graduated and my education is complete. I s’pose I know about everything worth knowing, now I must find a large field where I can use it to the best advantage.” “Son,” replied the old gentleman, “there is the ten acre corn field, and you kin have it all to yourself.” No girl buries her nose so deeply in books that she can’s get at it with a powder puff. __________________ “When your pa uses that paddle on you, doesn’t it make you sick?” “Naw. He tells me that’s the board of health.” “What are you doing?” “Reading the want ads.” “But you are looking in the female column.” “Well, ain’t my wife a female?” “Father,” asked the young son, who was trying to make out an English lesson, “what is an idiom?” “An idiom, my boy, is a woman idiot.” Some women have depth; The brains of others are merely excavations. “What’s George doing now?” “Film business.” “Huh? Actor?” “Nah—tooth paste.” Curl—So Freddie proposed to you on a post card,—did you accept? Curls—No, do you think I’d marry a man who didn’t care two cents for me? No, Ethelbert, you can’t make a slow horse fast by not feedin him. 120 T H E T O L L G A T E FITS AND FITS “So Mrs. Bang had several fits last week?” “Yes.” “Did she call a doctor?” “No—a dressmaker.” A Chink truck driver recently presented the following bill to the college: “10 goes, 10 comes at 50 cents a went. $5.” We know a Frosh who is so dumb that he thinks blank note books are written by anonymous authors. Like father, like son. The son died. He was his father’s dead image. “Mister Judge, please forget your grammar, and leave the period off my sentence.” “If I only had a golf club,” sighed the convict as he looked at the ball on the links. The speaker waxed eloquent, and after his peroration on woman’s rights he said: “When they take our girls as they threaten, away from our co-educational colleges, what will follow? What will follow, I repeat?” And a loud masculine replied, “I will.” LOGIC Frosh—You know more than I do. Soph—Of course. Frosh—You know me, and I know you. Flappers do what old maids think. We wish our female friends would stop putting rouge on their lips. Rather poor taste! Some girls are so dumb they think the Mayflower Compact is a new kind of rouge. Prof.—I’ll give you just one day to hand in that paper. Student—All right.

Like putting a new bulb in an old socket.” Rubb—Ever hear that one about the Jew going off and leaving his change on the counter? Dubb—Never heard about it. Rubb—Neither have I. “How did you get that cut on your head?” “Hie—musta—hie—bit myself.” “Gwan. How could you bite yourself up there?” “Musta stood on a chair.” The good looking generally dye young.

(i A T E 121 RONDEAU The swimming hole upon our farm Is tempting now as days grow warm, And offers ever a kind retreat To us from the moist unfriendly heat, Even in school it works its charm. The boys from far and near do sworm, Each night the banks of it do storm To get there first, they all compete— The swimming hole. Their thoughts are merry, far from harm They seldom give cause for any alarm; And never is a day complete With out some daring stunt or feat; And always does it have a charm, The swimming here. —Laura Irwin LINCOLN GRADUATES IN A SHORT TIME You will be seeking a confidential position. .One of responsibility and trust. _The Business Man will demand of you an excellent knowledge of Shorthand, Typewriting, Filing, Bookkeeping, Salesmanship, Sales Correspondence.

At such a time, those who are suffering the strain of parting must be relieved of the details of arrangement. Furthermore, if the arrangements are to be perfect, they must be placed in highly trained and experienced hands.
