As we journey through life we will need these very qualities, strength of mind to battle against temptations and physical vigor to accomplish the great things which we have set out to do. The gold represents supreme wisdom, inspiration, goodness, and love. These four qualities combined with strength and vigor are essential for the success and happiness of every man or woman. —Edna Worthington. CLASS FLOWER WE, the January Class of 3926, have chosen the tea-rose as an example for our lives. Whoever beholds this lovely flower is touched by its fragrance and carries away with him a memory of its sweetness. Even after death when the freshness is gone from its withered petals, the scent of the rose clings to it still and leaves to the world a heritage of its beauty. May the January Class of 1926 leave behind it at Lincoln high school fragrant memories of its presence here. —Edna Worthington. 28 T II E UNCO L N L O G Class Poem “Not on the heights but climbing” Ever striving, aspiring, Finally achieving. Already Thru the mist which overhangs the heights We perceive the roads, Winding slowly to the top; Some followed by many travelers, Others barren and narrow paths, Almost deserted. Lingering, uncertain. We see an opening in the crowd, A step, and we are in, Now a part of the unending stream of workers. Some following the paths of their own ambitions, Unmindful of the difficulties of others; A few following the paths of Service Which the others have passed by. Sad is the fate of those Who, in scorn, the paths of Service Passed by, For many are the barriers which lie Across the paths they chose, Making continually their attempts more hard As they along its way are striving Only selfish motives to attain. But they who follow the path of Service, Striving ever In their own simple way, By good deed or kind word, This world to serve, Will receive a guerdon of praise As along this path they are climbing. And when at last they attain the heights At which they aimed, They will find That the joy is not in the achieving, But in the striving As to the heights they climbed. —Henry Heyl. T II E L I N : O I, N 1.0 ; 29 Class History HE tide of migration that set in toward the shores of Lincoln High School during the early days of 1922 was but one phase in the restless and eternal movement upon the surface of the earth. But, unlike the thousands of immigrants who came to America in 1620, we did not seek religious freedom. Many had visions of fun, others expected shelter, while the remaining few sought an education. The first difficulty encountered was that of finding a suitable place in a new land containing rude and strange inhabitants. Besides their queer ways they had the advantage of outnumbering us at a ratio of about fifteen to one. Our membership totaled two hundred and sixty-eight including Franklin Sauer. With our continued effort we finally found settlement as home-room groups in what are now rooms 402 and 309. The scarcity of rooms forced many to settle in the auditorium under the kind supervision of Mr. Brasharcs. It was also known from reliable authorities that Miles Standish had nothing to do with the selection of the auditorium as a landing place. Neither had anyone, at that time, the knowledge that Henry Ruhig was beginning his course in the art of sleeping in room 104. With this temporary fear overcome we now were ready for work. It might be well to mention that it was at this time Harvey Koliha stated that the hardest part about work was how to avoid it. One of our greatest obstacles was the constant struggle with our upper classmen. The hypocrisy of that group was one of the main causes of their constant turmoil with our class. A concrete example of this might be the fact that once Frederick Maibauer, being misled by one of these false pretenders, spent two hours on the fourth floor looking for the basement. Then, too, we were forced to go without the distinction of attending the rhetoricals of the seniors. We also were requested to stand if there were not enough chairs in the library to seat the number of pupils. The constant interference with our rights made us determined to take action in extinguishing the menace at our first opportunity. As our forefathers, in their conflicts with the Indians, formed a common defense, we, also in our sophomore year issued a draft requiring the enlistment of all second year boys. In this period Robert Monkowski exhibited his unusual military talent. Incidentally, while handing out the laurels, Gladys Osterland, Edith Root and Corinne Morr should be considered. Their valiant sponsoring of the companies made possible the ever-increasing success of our army. It was not long before we were making our upper-classmen show a little respect for us, to say the least. With the completion of the new thirty-two room annex for the Junior High we made the occasion one for tours of discovery about the neighborhood. In one instance Harry Russ and Andrew Landis went on an exploring expedition for three days before the truant officer finally recovered them at some distance from the school. The responsibility of athletic participation for the varsity football and basketball teams also was thrust upon us at this time. Those who were musically inclined joined the boys’ or girls’ glee club. Most prominent among these were Winona Kroeger, Fernau Bader and Kathryne Gehlke. Even after one year of continuous warfare it was still necessary to maintain our belligerent spirit in our junior year. In the second campaign Lieutenant Speeth displayed his wares. As the time went on, we began to acquire more and more pleasures while overcoming our misfortunes. We all remember the Military Hop. Sophia Grabowsky, Adele Wagner and Helen Stringer completely dazzled the boys with their mistifying 30 T II F. LINCOLN LOG glides. John Rieley, William Prosser and Norman Skinner produced a similar effect upon the girls. The decisive subduing of our combatants tended to make us rather conceited, nevertheless, a great amount of credit was due us for our accomplishments. We realized our common dependence upon each other individually and swore that at our first chance we would band together when we had once become seniors. After discontinuing our military principles, under the guidance of Miss Van Fleet we were given the occasion, as seniors, to form an organized class. We did not have the suggestions of Benjamin Franklin as did the constructors of the United States constitution but all necessary advice was given us by Miss Van Fleet. The government was a pure democracy, each member of which was given one vote without restrictions regarding race, beauty or education. The executive board consisted of John Voss, president; Ruth Glover, vice-president; June Schmehl, secretary; Andrew Ruska, treasurer, and Jack Graulty chairman of the executive committee. These officers were elected and proven satisfactory without the aid of the political parties or other obstacles. When it came to the financial question, it was decided to require of each member a monthly toll of twenty-five cents. There was no mention made of property inheritance or income taxes. Very little or no argument arose in the running of our class, the credit for which must be given to the absence of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. In September, 1926, with everything going along peacefully, the organization, now numbering eighty-five, devoted most of its time to social entertainments. The success of the formal dance and class night showed the exuberant spirit and co-operation of the members of the January class of ’26. —Herbert Miller.

T li E . INCOLN LO ; 33 Prophecy HE buzz and hum of the newspaper office had quieted down. The night edition had gone out and as Editor I sat checking up on the arti- cles that had come in, while I anxiously waited for election returns. I had a personal interest in the outcome of election because three of my classmates at Lincoln were running for the Presidency, one a woman, Ruth Glover, and the others John Voss and Harvey Koliha. The contest promised to be close. A name on one of the papers I was absent mindedly fingering astonished me. Reading it, I discovered that a front page scandal involved several of my school-friends. “Three Follies beauties, Ruth Meyer, Harriette Placak and Katherine Miller had been taken into the custody of the law for disturbing public peace while clamouring for the attentions of Harry Russ, the Sheik of the Play-world. “Oh Alice,” I called to my advertising manager, Alice Davis, “Isn’t it queer how many of our companions in Lincoln are coming to light?” and I showed her the shocking article. We became more interested when together we discovered this statement, “The Misses Henrietta Kraus and Erma Kress are Ohio’s Delegates to the National Real Estate Conference in Florida.” “Here is another!” shrieked Alice, excitedly. “Two well-known chemists, while working in the Sure-Cure Laboratories have made the greatest discovery in the medical science up-to-date. The Misses Emily Becka and Louise Koepke have discovered a gas guaranteed to cure the hiccoughs.” “And listen,” I exclaimed, “Steve Dianiska, who has been Senator from Ohio for four years is expected to be re-elected unanimously. His stirring speech supporting a new Home for Tired Pedestrians has won a permanent place for him in the hearts of his people.” “Here is an interesting item,” Alice spoke up, “Mildred Mlazovsky who has been president of Western Reserve is resigning her position to get married.” “The man must be wonderful if she will give up that position,” I remarked. “Anna Murphy and James Linek are both Professors at Reserve. Did you know it?” ‘They are?” she exclaimed, “What smart pupils there were in our class. Edna Worthington and June Schmehl are teaching at Lincoln High and Franklin Sauer is janitor there.” “Well of all things! Listen to this,” and I read, “Mr. Andrew Landis, prominent society leader of Cleveland, will leave Saturday, November eleventh, for California, where Mr. Landis will compete in the International Tennis Contest for the cup.” After a few moments, Alice handed me some ads she had been sorting. “Look here,” she said, “We are meeting several more friends in these ads,” and glancing at the top one on the pile, I saw Carl Boltz’ face staring at me from an “Arrow Collar” ad. The next one I looked at was a rosy-cheeked girl, posing for the Palmolive Soap sign, “Keep that school girl complexion.” It was Helga Sandin! Alice watched me, smiling, while I turned quickly to the next paper and read, “Professor Harold Anklam will demonstrate some old-fashioned dances at his West-side Studio, Saturday, November eleventh, with the help of his partner, Miss Elsie Vondrak. Some of the dances shown will be “the Charleston, Footloose and Finale Hop.” “Goodness,” I gasped, “what talented people we know'.” 34 T1IE LINCOLN LOG “Yes,” acquiesced Alice, as we rested a moment. Quite a few of our class have become stars in the amusement field. Fernau Bader's Symphony Orchestra is popular the country over and Kathryn Gehlke is one of the artists whose singing draws the crowds to his concerts. “Did you see Bert Bradley’s newest picture, “The Poisoned Dog Biscuit?” I asked. “Margaret Meyer was the vamp in it and she was just suited to the part. The ladies are just crazy about those cute autographed cigarettes Bert’s publicity manager, Henry Speeth, has got out to send to his admirers.” “Bert’s pretty good,” Alice said, “but personally I like the lighter movies like those comedies Edward Walker stars in.” “Talking of light stuff,” she continued “reminds me—did you see The Kusnir and Kasper Circus when it was here this summer? I did and I can account for quite a few of our class-mates. “Fritz” Maibauer was employed as the tall man in the side-show; Mary Jacobs, Josephine Kern and Margaret Janousek were bare-back riders, Robert Monkowski was a sword swallower and Clement Romweber—don’t faint now—Clement was a lion-tamer!” “Clement,—a lion-tamer?” I repeated, dazed.” It doesn’t seem possible!” Several of our friends have reached the top of the Short Ladder, too,” Alice continued. Philip Dreyer is the world’s champion roller-skater, Herber Miller, who was our foot-ball captain is the successor of that wonder—Red Grange; Louis Velia has attained the title “Normi’s only rival,” and Andy Ruska is marble-champ of Cleveland.” “I’ll add some to that,” I replied; Helen Stringer, having been the first woman to swim the English Channel is now practicing up to attack Niagara Falls. I also read in the Press yesterday that Pauline Bogush and Jessie Borowski are becoming famous on the golf links.” “By the way,” Alice began again, “I met Annadale Davis the other day. She is head of the Personell Department at Woolworth’s and she said that Grace Baker was working there as head buyer and Lucy Senghas as her assistant. “And I read,” I added, “in the Paris Journal today, that Winona Kroeger, the famous singer has Paris at her feet. Her private secretary, Mae Yates, confided to the paper that Winona’s captivating beauty was partly responsible for her popularity.” Bong! The clock struck eight. “I wish we could get some idea of how the election’s coming out,” I sighed impatiently. “It must be a very exciting race!” “I’ll tell you what,” Alice suggested. “Let’s go to the Tea-Shoppe across the street and refresh ourselves. Incidentally, since Hilda Halama is proprietess and three heads are better than two, we’ll probably hear more news of our friends’ careers.” Quickly running through the chilly air, we reached the shoppe all out of breath. After struggling to speak to the neat little waitress. Lottie Fabian, she rushed to find Hilda who after a moment, came into the store and greeted us both, happily. She was instantly interested in our discoveries and told us she could enlighten us further. “Helen Adam is my cook,” she stated, “and IjOttie Fabian here, is accounted for. Then, I met Henry Heyl last week and he told me he had succeeded in gathering together a large collection of biographies of statesmen. And—oh—Norman Skinner is elevator boy, at May’s. He surely has risen high in such a short time.” “How many doors are there in the May Company?” I asked, laughing. THE LINCOLN LOG 35 “Oh, twenty or more,” replied Hilda. “Ellsworth Binz could tell you for he is a successful architect and made the plans for building the new May Company. Fred Aftoora and Henry Fischer could probably tell you too for they are floor-walkers, there.” “Say, Dolly,” Alice said, “I forgot to tell you, but I went to a band-concert last week at the Public Auditorium and Harvey Busch was bandmaster. He told me that he had been under Sousa’s supervision for six years and now Sousa has retired and Harvey has taken his work.” Hilda, who had been thinking hard, said “Edith Root and Corinne Morr, still inseparable are teaching military training in a military school for boys, of which Jack Graulty is principal. Edith and Corinne are both married but they felt that the housewife’s routine was much too dull for them and they entered this work.” “Caroline Geiger is married, too. She is a prominent society lady in New York, one of the ‘four hundred,’ you might say.” Then Lottie offered some information. Steve Rusynyk has bought out Nichol’s Sweet Shoppe and is making a success of it.” “You know,” she continued, “Mr. Nichols lost his fortune and had to sell out.” “Well,” I said, as I finished my tea. “Thanks very much, girls, for your information.” and bidding them goodbye, we went back to finish up our work. For a few moments, silence reigned supreme as we glanced over the last of the articles. “Read this,” Alice urged, and I obeyed eagerly. “Rucht and Ruhig Famous Limburger Cheese. One taste will last you a life-time.” “Oh what an ad,” I giggled, “a smell would satisfy me. I detest cheese anyway. Now, I’ll read one— “Man becomes millionaire as distant relatives dies! Mr. Russell Stinchcomb, inventor of the three-in-one tooth, hair and clothes brush, has been left a vast sum of money by a great uncle who declared in his will that his reason for giving Russell the money was that he loved curly hair. He made his money speculating in land during the great land rush of ’26 to Florida.” Some people have all the luck. Why didn’t I have curly hair?” I sighed. “Now here is a good one,” I continued. “lone Wolfe, daring, world-famous, tight-rope walker has succeeded in walking the tight-rope across Niagara Falls. Here’s another— “Come one! Come all! See the wonderful magic tricks displayed by Professor Prosser at the doctor show given by Dr. Joseph Novak, on the corner of Denison and Fulton Road, Tuesday, Nov. 14th. He can make anything disappear!” “Now it’s my turn,” Alice declared and read—“Wilma Wilkes’ Merry Widow Orchestra is coming to the Palace Theater, next week.” Among the Merry Widows I see Betty Reed plays the jazz whistle; Gladys Oster-land, the flute; Katherine Oleksich, the drums; Matilda Spitke, the saxophone and Sophia Grabowsky the xylophone. “We’ll have to see them if we can get away, Alice,” I decided. “Yes,” she agreed—then—“Look at this! Here it tells of a book written by Adele Wagner named, “How to be Tardy, Successfully.” “She surely ought to be an authority on that subject,” I replied. Yawning, Alice held out another ad. We photograph your dogs, cats and babies successfully. John Shirak and Co. “Fair exchange,” I answered and handed her two articles. “George Steuber, the dangerous cross-word puzzle field has escaped 36 T H E L I N C OLN LOG from the Insane Asylum. Reward given for information concerning his where-abouts. Hawkshaw’s assistant, Alvin Richards has been put on his trail.” And “The Misses Caroline Anderson and Wilma Bennett are doing good work in the social field. For the past four weeks they have been entertaining the inmates of the Old Men’s Home with the latest songs and dances. “We are almost at the end of the doings of our long, lost companions, aren’t we?” I asked. “Yes,” answered Alice, “but 1 think there are tw’o more. Elcanore Sulinski and Helen Moncol. Do you know about either of them?” “Why, I forgot all about it! Eleanore is editor of the “Advice to the Love-Lorn” column in our rival paper. 1 guess she is well fitted for the position. “Potato Mashers, rolling-pins and other weapons designed to give good service to the housewife,” read Alice and in this ad we found what the last of our school pals had been doing, for Helen Moncol was the designer of these dangerous weapons. We gave a sigh of relief for we had not slighted anyone, and settled back in our chairs to rest. Suddenly, a hubub and racket outside as if all the bells, whistles, horns, and sirens in the world were in operation, deafened us. Alice and I jumped up and looked out of the windows upon crowds of dancing, screaming men and women. A lady dashed madly into my office. “Hooray! Hooray! For the first woman president of United States!” she yelled, “Ruth Glover won by sixty votes,” and flinging the statistics on my desk, raced wildly out again. Dazed, Alice and I looked at each other, till suddenly it dawned on us. Our class-mate, the vice-president of our class had been elected the first woman president of United States and executing a wild dance of joy, we screamed with the rest! —Bertha Rose Hiller. T II E L INCO I. N L O C 37 Class Song Farewell, farewell, dear Lincoln High, Farewell ye classmates too. We’ll soon be gone, Our ways must part. And sadness reigns in every heart. Oh Lincoln dear, whom we revere What kindness all untold Hast thou bestowed. We thank thee too, For friendships true adieu, adieu. Just through the open portals wide, The world is drawing near. We ponder now. We’re eager now, With joy we go and yet with fear. Chorus But dear Lincoln High with heart of gold, We’ll ’er to you be true, No matter where our paths may lead, We’ll still remember you. Class Motto TOT on heights but climbing.” We have our lives and ambitions before us. Noble aspirations and high ideals will help us gain the heights. Realizing that great things are accomplished only by striving and struggling we are determined to climb steadily and loyally to the goal which we hope to attain. —Edna Worthington. 38 THE LINCOLN L O C Class Will BE it known by these presents: We, the Senior Class, of the month of January, of the year of one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and declare, this our last will and testament, hereby revoking, all other wills and testaments which may have been made by us previous to this time.

We are surrounded on all sides by opportunities for which we must prepare and train ourselves, that we may realize the highest ambitions of our lives. To enter the professions we must continue our methods of diligent study and close application. May we ever strive to make the tomorrows of our lives successful and happy. Gladys Schuster. THE LINCOLN LOG 4ii Class Poem DEAR classmates all of Twenty-Six, The time has come to say good-bye, Since now our appointed tasks are done, We must leave our Lincoln High. Our high school course is now complete, Our education just begun, With knowledge gained within these walls We’ll solve life’s problems as they come. The friendships made shall long remain, Though every one must parted be; We’ll keep, as months and years pass by, Their fond and pleasant memory. Now, as the future beckons us, And each one goes his way alone, Dear Lincoln, we shall not regret, That, as our guiding star, you’ve shone. Gordon Gladrovv. Class Colors THE June Class of 1926 has chosen blue and silver as its colors. They harmonize perfectly, and harmony is most essential in all our lives. It is that which counts most in the business and industrial, as well as in the social world. Harmony of nature is that which makes it possible for men and women to organize, as our Senior Class has done. It is just such cooperation that has made the world of today. Success may be obtained only in a mild degree, if at all, if these qualities of harmony and co-operation are overlooked. The blue stands for loyalty. The silver for something calm and peaceful, yet lustrous and shining. What two qualities may be combined with more success to make for success? These, therefore, are the reasons for which blue and silver have been chosen as the colors to be symbolic of the June Class of 1926. Eileen Scott. THE LINCOLN LOG 47 June Class of 1926 YOUR high school days are drawing rapidly to a close and it seems fitting that you should take stock of your equipment and ask yourselves certain definite questions before entering upon your life’s work. During these years at Lincoln, have you formed the habits which will serve you in good stead in after life? Have you learned to be prompt, reliable, and industrious? Have you learned to be courteous, thoughtful and considerate of others? Have you thought how it will affect the other man as well as yourself? Have you learned to take criticism kindly and in the spirit in which it was given? Have you learned to think independently and to take the initiative as well as to be a follower? Have you learned to abide always by the will of the majority and to put the welfare of the public constantly before the welfare of the individual? Have you learned the true significance of our school motto, “Vincit tjui se vincit ? (“The man who controls himself is the one who wins.”) Have you learned to be absolutely honest both with yourselves and your neighbors? If you have acquired these habits as well as some definite book knowledge during these years, the world is ready to give you a hearty welcome, and I feel sure that success will come to you. Your class has endeared itself to me as a whole and many members of the class whom 1 have come to know better I count as very dear friends. I am very sorry that your time has come to leave us and the best wishes of myself and all the faculty go with you. May you be happy, successful and loyal alumni of Lincoln High! James B. Smiley. 48 THE LINCOLN LOG Senior Reverie Our high school days will soon be over, We’ve spent four years at Lincoln High; Many jolly times we’ve had together, But the end of these days is nigh. There are many things to be remembered, The friends we’ve made we’ll not forget; We’ve enjoyed these years at Lincoln And farewells will be said with regret. The rain comes softer falling, The fierce deluge is o’er; The great black clouds appalling W’ill soon be seen no more. And now the sun comes peeping, The flowers to allure, And o’er the earth is creeping A fragrance fresh and pure! For Spring has fought her way between Long months of snow and cold, And soon before our weary eyes New scenes will she unfold. Of rippling little rivulets, Of trees with blossoms gay, And field on field of violets— Yes, Spring is here to stay! So put aside your work and cares, Just don a Springtime smile, And go and seek the wild-woods lairs, You’ll find it is worth-while!

As the years pass by on careless wing, To each memory we’ll closer cling; We'll never forget thee, Lincoln High— Though we say farewell, 'tis not good-bye. Our teachers dear. Our comrades here Will linger on in our hearts; The knowledge we’ve gained, The good we’ve maintained, We’ll remember, although we must part; The red and the white Will ever grow bright As symbols of honor and truth; And as we grow old They’ll closer enfold And remind us of laughter and youth. Winona Cornell. FLOWER We, the June Class of Nineteen Twenty-Six, have chosen the Lily-of-the-Valley as our Class Flower. When speaking of this flower, one brings to mind the daintiness of it, is touched by its fragrance, beauty, and color, which is symbolical of purity. May the June Class of Nineteen Twenty-Six be pure of mind and modest, like the flower which it has chosen. May it leave behind fragrant memories at Lincoln High. Julia Sentzok. THE LINCOLN LOG 51 Hail and a Hearty Hello ELL, old classmates, here we are near the end of our high school course. Roger Brooker has written of the past. Gordon Gladrow has written of the present. George McKinstry has written of the future. So what shall I say? Well, only this: Graduation has not been called the Termination, but it has more fittingly been named the Commencement. For so it is, Commencement, the beginning of all things. To you who have enjoyed your work at Lincoln and have found pleasure in your school life, I say that after you have, like the traditional woodcutter’s son, gone to seek your fortune, you will undoubtedly find pleasure and enjoyment in the particular vocation you will follow. On the other hand (and I am perfectly frank, I cannot be otherwise), I would remind you who have disliked school and have looked upon it with disdain that the course has been but a training school, a preparation for the bigger and better things. Although I never could, and probably never will, be able to make myself believe that compulsory homework is not one of the outstanding evils of the present school system, yet it cannot be denied that it has a certain tendency to increase the powers of concentration and tenacity. The fact that you have patiently endured school-life for four long years, in spite of your scorn for it, shows that you have certain qualities which makes for succes. And now I would thank the class for choosing me as its leader. I appreciate this confidence. I appreciate, too, your indulgence and hearty co-operation. I am grateful for the co-operation of the officers and the committees which have served in their various capacities. I would thank Miss Van Fleet, as faculty adviser to our class, for her services extended in our behalf. If our class has at times seemed antagonistic, we offer our apologies and exhort the 12B class to a better mutual understanding. 1 would thank Mr. Smiley, our home-room teachers, and the faculty for their assistance, encouragement and extensions of sympathy. I am grateful to the members of the staff who worked so diligently on the publication of this book, who did everything within their power to make it a success. And, finally, I thank the student body in general for its support of our various interests and activities. Now I would remind the class that Commencement is merely an adjournment of the class meetings, not a dissolution of the organization. So, not good-bye, but farewell, au revoir, bon voyage., and good luck. Your President, Lloyd Foster. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

Since that time, however, civilization has progressed mightily, so it came to pass that, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Two, youths setting out for conquest came to Lincoln High School. Upon arriving they beheld a blackboard covered with many letters and figures. Some deciphered it at once, but others were forced to inquire. Of these most were properly enlightened, but a few, innocently endeavoring to follow directions, spent some time looking for the fifth floor. Finally, however, all were properly placed and, meeting their old acquaintances, their feeling of shyness was soon dispelled. In a few months they had become acquainted with the mysteries of Algebra and Latin, and through their diligence had set up a high standard of scholarship, which was maintained through the following years. They found that it was desirable to attain physical perfection, as well as mental, and with the help of Major Lorimer, they learned the use of the queer looking apparatus in the gymnasium. Their musical ability was brought out by Miss Mallory, and they found much enjoyment in the bi-weekly chorus classes. But there were occasional lapses from the humdrum routine which help to brighten the memory of their first year. There were the football and basketball games, where they developed that intangible quality known as school spirit, which alone makes athletics worth while. In the spring a reception for the parents of Freshmen was held and an entertaining-program was given by talented members of the class. After the summer vacation had passed and they returned to renew the conquest, many new activities opened to them. Most of the girls joined the Friendship Club, while for both boys and girls the Glee Club proved a strong attraction. For the boys there was military training, where they learned the rudiments of drill. Attired in their U. S. army uniforms they were a fine sight and took pride in making a good appearance. It was at that time that some one looking at Gordon Gladrow in his new uniform said, “Except for the coat and pants it’s a fine fit.” Although they had many more privileges than when they were more “flats,” they were not yet permitted to attend the Senior dances, but as the end of the year drew near, the time when they themselves could be Seniors, did not seem so far off. The class contained the usual number of athletic aspirants and, although at that time they had not become prominent, they were struggling to make a name for themselves. The third year found the class exercising more privileges, and its members turned out in force for the Senior informals. Through their proficiency on the dance floor Richard Kroeger, Ed Gallagher and Paul Draeger proved to be an irresistible attraction to the fairer sex, and many a feminine eye turned to watch Kenneth Gehres, as he glided gracefully by. The days passed swiftly for the class, and amidst a whirl of social activities they drew nearer the shining goal. By that time Sleepy Myers—the appellation is misleading—Don Reisinger, Rowley Ocker, Gordon Randall, Warren Beles, Bill Monks, John and Andy Drotar, Norm Stedronsky, and Paul Draeger, had proved their merit on the football and basketball teams. Among the shining lights of the class was Lloyd Foster, whose sleight of hand tricks were both mystifying and entertain- :� 4 THE LINCOLN LOG ing. After witnessing his performance, many of his classmates always placed their hands on their valuables when he was near. After another summer, school rolled around once more. But for those who had first come to Lincoln three years before, this year was to be vastly different. Their last year! They were Seniors, tall and dignified. Already they felt the weight of responsibilities which they, as Seniors, were forced to bear. Early in the fall term they organized their class and set about the business of running the school. For President they chose Lloyd Foster; Vice-President, Ethel Helen Meyer; Secretary, Nettie Kurtzenburger, and Gordon Randall for Treasurer. Some time later the talk of orations was heard, and many began to have wrinkles from worrying over them. But when the time had come they found that it was not so bad after all, and even looked back at their experiences with pleasure. Their happiest times, however, were at the class informals and their other social events, for which the members of the executive committee must be praised, as they did their best to make the dances a success. The history of the June Class of 1926 at Lincoln has almost been completed, and soon its members shall go to join the ranks of graduates, but the happy hours enjoyed at Lincoln High School shall always remain green in their memory. Roger Brooker. THE LINCOLN LOG Faculty Autographs 56 THE LINCOLN LOG Class Will WE, the June Class of 1926, being of a sound mind and accurate memory, do hereby make and present our last will and testament. This document hereby revokes and renders null and void all other wills made by us heretofore. Item I To Miss Taylor, Miss Wisner, and Miss Waller our homeroom teachers, we give our profound admiration, sincere gratitude and a friendship that will last forever. Item II To the entire faculty we bequeath our astonishing discoveries in the held of learning to compensate them for their sleepless nights and tiring days spent in our behalf. Item III To the January Class of 1926 we will all of our franchises and privileges, namely, to be late to class, to bluff the teachers, to find our own way in the lunch room line, to rearrange our programs so as to get out the end of the fifth period, to make the lower classmen dance with the chaperones at informals, etc. Item IV To Mr. Brashares we bestow our best wishes, providing 1. That he allow his future civic classes to filibuster the entire period. 2. That he make no mention (regularly each day) of the sixty cents some member of the class owes for a Literary Digest subscription. Item V To Mr. Van Horn we bequeath our astounding discoveries in the chemistry class, to be used in his new publication, “History of Chemistry.” Item VI We earnestly request that Mr. Monks be presented with a journal containing some of the latest jokes and conundrums, with which he may entertain his future classes. Item VII We leave the school elevator to all those who are seeking thrills in a mechanical way. This contrivance is the fastest thing on cogwheels. ITEM VIII We desire that a small sum be subtracted from our balance in the treasury to purchase a safety razor for Norman Zeuch. Item IX We will the tables in the library to the manual training departments, to be made into bird houses. It is a fitting end for these true relics. Item X We beqeath: Lloyd Foster’s quality of leadership to Gilbert Clark. Robert Sharp’s title of weightiest man of his class to “Fat” Ettinger. THE LINCOLN LOG •u Richard Kroeger’s ability to ask questions in chemistry class, which takes most of the period for discussion, to Wilbur Brewer. Kenneth Gehres’ job as boss of the homeroom to Nick Klim. To all succeeding Beau Brummels we will the directions set down in “How to Captivate the Fair Sex” by our illustrious authors, Melvin Novy and George McKinstry. It is also our desire that Rowley Ocker’s devotion to Ethel Meyer be an example to faithless beaux. Lastly, Lawrence Fenske’s dancing ability to John Schneider. Therefore we appoint James B. Smiley executor of our last will and testament. In witness thereof, we, the June Class of 1926, have subscribed our names. (Signed) June Class of 1926. Drawn and sworn before me this thirteenth day of May in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six. I hereby set my hand and seal. Amos Myers. The Air Is White TIIE air is white with snow-flakes clinging, The world is ermine gowned, The earth of spring is not yet singing. The vale with children’s shouts is ringing, Winter’s magic playgrounds found, The air is white with snow-flakes clinging. No bird from sunny Southland’s bringing Joyous carols greeting May, The Earth of spring is not yet singing. Such cold all hope of spring is flinging From hearts in seas of sadness drowned, The air is white with snow-flakes clinging. No flow’rs in woods are upward springing, With leaves and buds encircled round, The Earth of spring is not yet singing. No laddie’s heart is gladly ringing Because for springtime sport he’s bound, The air is white with snow-flakes clinging, The Earth of spring is not yet singing. —Theda Chapman 58 THE LINCOLN LOG Good-bye, Lincoln !

It meant a good time for some one, I thought, but certainly not for me. More than likely, I would be on the interviews again, scrimmaging with my fellow reporters in the lobby of some hotel or railroad station. My thoughts were not altogether pleasant as I viewed the boss coming to break the news. They soon changed, however. ‘‘You’re to cover the pickups, tomorrow,” he said, “just a general survey. Anything that’s interesting or humorous.” The morrow no longer seemed a day of drudgery, but, rather, one to be anxiously awaited. The next morning I sallied forth, bright and early, to begin my day’s adventures. The street was not yet congested. There were just a few early birds out for a stroll. In a few minutes I sighted a group of men gathered about a horse. A badge on one informed me that they were from Minnesota. Even a child could have guessed that they were farmers. Imagine my surprise to find among them three of my old classmates at Lincoln, George Kubes, Raymond Jirka, and Steve Mizenko. George and Steve seemed to be having a heated argument as to whether the animal before them was too fat or too lean. When I introduced myself, they ended their dispute and began relating to me their past histories. From what they said I learned that Dorothy Fischer and Colletta Samson were employed as milkmaids in Leonard Leland’s dairy. I gathered, further, that William Barth had become quite prosperous as a dealer in butter and eggs. Just before leaving they told me that Evelyn Clark and Stella Kruczek were teaching school in the rural districts of the state. Hardly had I left when I espied two neatly dressed gentlemen standing in the lobby of a hotel. They were Henry Heger and Milton Going. Edgar Cantlon, President of the Galvanized Fish Hook Coporation of Chicago, had sent them to close a deal with Laddie Sedeley and Nelson Rauschkolb, cat fishermen. ‘‘Just a few minutes ago,” exclaimed Henry, ‘‘we saw Leona Anderson, Elizabeth Johnson and Loretta Kocian in the hotel.” He went on to say that they were engaged as models in Paul Poirot’s fashionable shop for ladies, and being here on business, they brought along Kathryn Hel-wick and Esther White a? salesladies. Just then two nice looking young ladies walked by and my companions deserted me. On turning a corner, I came upon a crowd of people looking up at what I thought was a large balloon caught on the top of a church steeple. Upon inquiring, however, I found it to be none other than Gordon Gladrow, famous steeplejack, commonly known as the human fly. As I stood there marveling at the spectacular feats of the portly Gordon, some one slipped a pamphlet into my hand. ‘‘T and T Dealers in Facial Powders,” was printed in bold type on the outside. Upon continuing farther, I discovered that the owners of this delicate business were the Tunder brothers, John and Steve. On the inside were the pictures of Ethel Meyer and Ethel Postnak, two Follies girls who had added much to their beauty and charm by the use of these powders. After recording the addresses of the girls in my note book for future reference, I edged out of the crowd. Only a short distance away stood'a large dining car. Edward Maruna was proprietor. The place looked rather inviting so I decided to take lunch there. 1 was surprised when Beatrice Beckler came to take my order. Mary Patrick, also a waitress, did not notice me. 60 THE LINCOLN LOG She was quite busy smiling upon a handsome looking customer who had just ordered half the menu. Adam and Eve on a raft, wreck ’em,” called Edward upon receiving an order for ham and eggs scrambled. From behind the cook’s disguise I recognized the features of Leo Bogush. From Beatrice I learned that Clara (Aunt) Sabine had become famous in the pastry flour industry. She also said that while passing through St. Louis she saw Pauline Maraschky in the window of Middleton’s furniture store, demonstrating the wonderful baking possibilities of a new stove just marketed by Paul Pangrace. Across the street I spotted Rollie Ocker among a delegation of New Englanders, while with him was Nettie Kurzenberger, his private secretary. It seemed that he and Donald Reisinger had made themselves prominent in the shoe and boot business. They bought most of their paper, he explained, from William Curtis. The Hessoun Tanning Co. furnished what leather they needed. I was interested to hear that Leonard Forester and Jack Diebold had tanned quite a few hides since leaving Lincoln. I was told that it was the duty of Howard Flower to cut off and record the number of tails as a means of keeping tab on the hides tanned daily. Nettie informed me that Ethel Helen Meyer was running for governor of Massachusetts against Fern Mock, editor of a state wide journal. What a fine pair of candidates! It surely will be a close race, I thought. Evelyn Maruna had also entered politics. She was a candidate for one of the seats in the state supreme court. Hardly had we begun talking with Irene Brooke and Lawrence Fen-ske, importers of antiques, when we heard a loud crash just a few yards away. Rushing to the scene of the disaster, I found that one of Roger Brooker’s Stall Sixes had collided with some kind of a contraption manufactured by Fred Grunau. Perhaps 1 might call it a car. Fortunately or unfortunately no one was injured. I say unfortunately, because in the crowd I met Howard Gaiser, a doctor, and Edward Gallager, an undertaker. Howard was consulting surgeon at a hospital in Denver. There Alice Pleasance was head nurse. Mary Pohlod, Anna Keofsky and Eugenie Grauer were also devoting their time to nursing. Edward stated that Howard and he, together with William Schuster, a minister, had managed to carry on quite a profitable business. Just between you and me I also learned that George Brannon, horse doctor, and Melvin Novy, butcher, had entered into business partnership. After several minutes of somewhat dead conversation we shook hands and I departed. Coming toward me was a large delegation of women who, according to the banner they were carrying, had started a national movement for the preservation of that much abused flower, the dandelion. Theda Chapman, the chairman, stated that they were touring the country, trying to make the people realize the beauty of this domestic flower before it had been trampled out of existence. Esther Hieber, Viola Anderson, Evelyn Dodge, and Theresa Burens each wore a cluster of the flowers as a symbol of their cause. Norma Thompson and Alma Kellogg had been sent to the Cleveland Board of Education with the idea of having their propaganda introduced into the schools. Esther told me that Ruth Kleinbohl had inherited an alligator farm in Florida and was down there tending to business. ‘‘Making and designing hats had made Glen rose Moeller and Ruth Buell popular among the ladies of New York,” she said. “In Baltimore,” cut in Evelyn, “we saw Wanda Baygrowitz. a famous THE LINCOLN LOG 61 chemist, who is now working on a plan to utilize a new element that had been discovered in oyster shells.” Some one else stated that a beauty parlor had recently been opened in Richmond, Virginia, by Elva Morris and Lillian Noe. The conversation shifted to dandelions again, so I decided it was time to move. As I was passing a store, I saw Gordon Randall looking in the window at some books and magazines that were on display. He had just recently established himself as a movie critic by a series of articles on the morals of movie actors. Mary Prissinger, a well known scenario writer, and he had been sent as delegates from California. William Monks, wealthy lumber king, was also a delegate from that state. Drawing a Los Angeles newspaper from his pocket, he showed me the pictures of three photoplay artists. Joyce Biddulph, a popular heroine, Dorothy Paillon, whose vamping had proved the ruination of many an ardent lover, and Thorland Peck, whose masculine beauty was enhanced by an artificial coat of tan. There was also a picture of Lloyd Foster, who had just delighted the American public by his acting in that ludicrous comedy, “Ben Hur.” Down in one corner was a photo of Norman Stedronsky, popular villain, with one of those give-me-those-papers looks on his face. The Kenninger twins, who had become quite famous as child impersonators, were now looking forward to a career along more grown up lines. Turning to the periodicals in the window, I discovered that many of my friends had become successful along journalistic lines. Thelma Hunter, so Gordon told me, was editing the Century Magazine. On the cover I noticed that Lorna Rudolph, Edith Woodburn and Elfrieda Smith had had articles published therein. The Novak and Zechman Publishing Company had just printed books by Winona Cornell and Thelma Richards. The covers were neatly drawn by Charlotte Kentner. Amos Myers had become star photographer for the Police Gazette, my friend said, as we turned away. There being nothing further of interest in the window, we moved on. Mr. Randall suggested that we take in the Drotar Circus that afternoon. I agreed, and we set out for the big tent. On the outskirts of the circus grounds we saw Edward Frey with a small group of people gathered about him, marveling at the wonders of his corn plaster. Not wishing to break the spell he held over his prospective customers, we did not stop. Upon nearing the tent we heard a great number of different noises that usually attend a circus, but above them we heard the deep bass voice of Edward Graeter drawling out these words, “Seventy-five cents to see the greatest assortment of freaks and wonders that have ever been assembled on the face of the earth.” We bought tickets and then proceeded to take in a sideshow. Spiritualists’ meetings always interested me, so we attended one given by Mildred Grossman. After conversing with the devil and a few other illustrious individuals, we made our exit in order to secure good seats for the big show. The whole performance was very good, but there were just a few acts that particularly interested us. Daniel Evancho’s daring deeds in the lion’s den, the breath-taking leaps and dives of three acrobats, Warren Beles, Paul Draeger, and Alex Kacmar, and the skill with which Edith Bubenheimer charmed her snakes, were all to be remembered. Then, too, the trained sea lions handled by Dora Staufert, the bareback riding of Marjorie Jenks and Dorothy Sherrer, the tight rope walking by Mildred Schaedel and Julianna Sabot, topped off by the puzzling tricks of magic performed by Herbert Dase and Marie Rygalski, made the show 62 THE LINCOLN LOG well worth while. To our surprise we discovered that Harold Junke was the leading ringmaster. On our way back to town we saw a machine, that, from the looks of its tags and labels, had traveled no little bit. In it were George Hanford and Russel Duley, who, after having amassed a large fortune in the hills of Kentucky, had taken to traveling. George had gained for himself the honorary title, “King of the Hoboes.” Harold Weatherbee was also with them, gathering material for his new book, entitled, “What Will the Weather Be?” “In India,” said Russel, “we came upon June Seymour, Eleanor Sautter and Louise Forrester, who were devoting their lives to civilizing the natives. Anna Saloka and Frieda Sachse were also missionaries; they, however, were in China.” “We also have had the pleasure of meeting Harold Anderson, U. S. Ambassador to Patagonia,” said George. On our way back to the hotel, where Gordon was staying, we passed a group of Salvation Army workers who were singing. The voice of Calvin Kendall could be heard above all the rest, although Helen Gazdik and Esther Hughes were giving him plenty of competition. Upon arriving at the hotel we separated and I went into a restaurant to eat. There at a table, on one side, I recognized Stanley Stein and Eileen Scott. Stanley had become a professor of foreign languages at Yale, while Eileen was very successfully practising law in New Haven. “Esther Arnold and Irene Breznay are teaching English in a neighboring high school,” said Eileen. “We also have a wonderful library.” she added. “Mildred Ryan is librarian; Emily Bogdas and Marjorie Stark are also employed there.” Sam Kassouf, according to Stanley, was a professor of Mathematics at Yale. Lucille I empke, Mildred Kliment and Julia Sentzok were physical tiaining instructors at the same school. “By the way,” exclaimed Stanley, “you're going to the Auditorium tonight, aren’t you? Richard Kroeger, chairman of the convention, will speak, and there is to be a fine program following.” On my way to the Auditorium two gentlemen in high-heeled boots and broad rimmed sombreros caused me to stop and take a second look. Upon doing so I found them to be Floyd Filson and Gerald West. They were representing the cattle ranges of Montana. I was surprised to hear that Ruth Morgan and Nettie Pyrtko had fallen into ownership of a large ranch in Iowa. Andrew Probala and Leonard Bruck, so it was said, had established themselves as mule dealers in Missouri. My two western friends had so many queer experiences to tell that before 1 knew it I had spent over an hour with them. “So long, boys, and good luck,” I said, as I hurried away. One of the posters from Norman Zeuch’s out-door advertising agency told me that the entertainment started at seven o’clock, and it was now half past. 1 hurried into the lobby, bought a ticket from Jean Stringer and entered the arena. Anna Symchok ushered me to my seat. Bernard Donner, famous poet, had just finished giving a talk on preservation of scenery at the North Pole and was now reciting his latest poem, “To a Cauliflower.” Next on the program came Krakora’s orchestra. Gladys Schuster was at the piano, while Kenneth Young was busy with his banjo. They played two or three feature selections and then accompanied Ernest Sandin and Ruth De Loe in their fancy dancing. Following them came Walter Zajac, famous hypnotist. He was assisted by Helen Dianiska. THE LINCOLN LOG 63 After mystifying the public for some ten minutes they retired in favor of Marie Kwiatkowsky, famous contralto, who, accompanied by Elsie Kasper, succeeded in wringing a visible flow of tears from the public at large. It was a very sad song. The tears soon dried when Edward Olday and Arthur Davis, wizzards of the uekelele, sang a happy little song entitled: “No man should go to work so long as he has strength enough to lie in bed.” Eleanor Copei and Helen Prinz were next and they made a big hit in their toe dancing act. The evening performance ended with the appearance of Kenneth Gehres and Minabel Davis, illustrious exponents of the Charlcsberg, successor to the Charleston. Once outside I gave a sigh of relief. It was the end of a perfect day. 1 was now confirmed in my belief that the June Class of 1926 was bound to leave its mark on the world because inside of one day’s time I had met or heard of all my former classmates and they were all prosperous and happy. 1 could not have felt otherwise myself, for I had a book full of notes, and what a whale of a column they’d make!

Except for distant sleigh bells ringing. Now fierce the blast, the snow drifts flinging, Now pauses he and plaintively sighs, The air is white with snow-flakes clinging. The heavy clouds a storm are bringing, Loud and more loud the rough wind cries, As high and loud the snow he’s flinging. Then as the pines begin their singing, Slowly the moan of the north wind dies.
