Now observe how history repeats itself. During February of 1923 several hundred of the younger generation calmly invaded this institution of higher learning and made known the startling and hitherto obscure fact that all Lincoln High School is apportioned into four very distinct parts, namely: freshmen, sophomore, junior, arid senior. It seems, however, that this momentous discovery was not due entirely to the keen observation of these young hopefuls. The discovery was born upon them by certain rude beings who designated themselves as upperclassmen, and who seemed very anxious for the new entrants to understand that they were so exceedingly unsophisticated and so low in the social scale as to be called freshmen. Meanwhile the faculty began to wonder why they had been afflicted with the presence of these extremely green individuals. Later developments proved that some were furthering their own amusement; others were holding down desks which, if they had been unoccupied, would have floated into the air; while a respectable and conscientious minority was concerned with the prospects of securing an education. The following days were busy enough with mastering the intricate mysteries of Latin and algebra, exhibiting our psysical prowess in the gym and our vocal accomplishments in the bi-weekly chorus classes, and standing off our common enemy, the sophomores, who seemed to take a certain diabolic delight in proving their huge superiority. We severed diplomatic relations when we beheld the elevator, which they had beguiled us into believing was the fastest things on cog-wheels. It was plainly the act of a belligerent power when they deliberately informed us that the basement was on the fourth floor. An armed clash was prevented only by our arrival at the sophomore stage. Our metamorphosis was as amazing as it was complete. Over night it seemed that we had totally lost all memory of our own freshman experiences. We left no stones unturned in our efforts to impress the ignoble frosh with our dignity and importance. In fact, we felt it our duty to keep him from going astray and coming to believe different. As sophomores the male of the species was subject to conscription in the forces of the R. 0. T. C. Three times a week they dressed themselves in khaki and tried to make the public believe that they were warriors bold. A popular fallacy seems to have been that the effect of the uniforms was quite stunning. It was—especially in those abundant cases where the breeches seemed to be at war with the coat, or blouse, as it was called. At this time we began to take an active interest in the activities of the school. The senior dances were barred to us as yet. but clubs which had tabooed freshmen now welcomed us. Those with an excess of musical ability made haste to contribute their service to the Glee Clubs. In our third year we immediately became painfully conscious of the fact that we would soon be seniors. Whereas we had only acted important as sophomores, we now realized that as juniors we were really cutting a figure in school affairs. Seniors looked down upon us from their heights with a beneficent air, since we were expected to swell the attendance at SENIOR YEAR BOOK 25 their dances. It might be mentioned here that we were amazed at the dancing ability in our class. Nearly everybody else was either amazed or amused, too. Being important came naturally to us in our senior year because we had had so much previous practice. Not content to be governed, we declared our independence and sovereignty over the entire school. The next natural step was to start running the school. However, we magnanimously turned that job over to the faculty, announcing that we were content merely to control the class organization. Gilbert Clark received the unanimous choice of his classmates for their president; Olive Roper was elected vice-president; Mary Greco was class choice for secretary; and Joe Dolan, in view of his extraordinary talent for extracting money without pain, was elected treasurer. What more can we say? We received our class rings; we trembled successfully through our orations, we gave two in formats and a formal which were enthusiasticly received. Commencement lies before us; soon the seventy members of the January Class of 1927 will be graduated and will go out into the world. Who but God and the future can reveal to us the measure of their success and their history there? —John Schneider. Class Colors T ADE green and silver are the colors of our class. The green stands I for youth, strength and vigor. May these qualities which we now J possess be forever ours. May they ever help us to do the right thing at all times, and to resist the many temptations which crowd our daily lives. May they make us influences for good, leaders in our various walks of life, strong enough to refuse “to go with the crowd,” but instead to take the crowd with us. Silver is the symbol of peace and tranquility, two of the sweetest and most beautiful things in the world. When the unavoidable cares of life overtake us, let us remain calm and peaceful. Let us conquer each trouble as it appears with the qualities for which our colors stand. Let us be brave at all times, daring to stand alone, if necessary. —Varian Casterline. The Class Flower WE, the members of the January Class of 1927, have chosen the Chrysanthemum as a symbol for our lives. Whoever beholds this beautiful flower is enchanted with its beauty and carries away with him a memory of its dignity. Even when the petals are faded and withered its fragrance leaves to the world the heritage of its glory and grandeur. May the January Class of 1927 leave behind it at Lincoln High school a lasting memory of its presence here. —Lillian Brothers. 26 SENIOR YEAR BOOK Class Poem Dear Lincoln High, we now look back With mingled joy and pain On four long years that have passed by Never to come again. For we, the graduating class Must soon be on our way Since now our High school life is over We can no longer stay. Dear teachers, who have guided us To you, be love and praise And may the lessons you have taught Follow us all our days. May those who will in future years Dear Lincoln, till our place Ever thy glorious name uphold Nor falter in the race. Let “conquering and still to conquer” The motto of our class Be with us, dear old Lincoln High As from thy halls we pass. Now, as we go our various ways, Fond memories in each heart, We’ll ne’er forget thee, Lincoln High, Though we forever part. And now at last the time has come When we must say goodby With hearts that beat in love for thee, Our dear old Lincoln High. —Varian Casterline. Class Motto r E, the members of the January Class of 1927, have chosen ‘‘Vincens et victurus” for our motto. “Conquering and still to ? ? conquer,” the translation, implies that the completion of our high-school course does not terminate our conquests, but is only the crossing to the first stepping stone in the Stream of Life as we attempt to reach success and happiness.

D., being more or less in our right mind, and having an inadequate memory, do hereby present our last will and testament. This document hereby revokes all other wills made by us, though we really have never been allowed to express our own will before. First: It is our will that all misunderstandings between ourselves, class mates and teachers be laid on the dusty shelf in the time worn cabinet of 401 and never be held against us in future years. Second: It is our will that we leave all our eccentric characteristics and coveted possessions to the 12B class altho we realize they are unworthy of such treasures. ITEM I Lectures by Miss Thompson on such topics as “What Promptness is Worth to All of Us When YVe Go Out into the World to Earn Our Own Living,” and “The Rules of the Library are:” we bequeath to her future classes. ITEM II To the Freshmen we will our worldly knowledge of everything in hopes it will guide their tottering feet through four long years. ITEM III Our nonchalant attitude toward all things and our care free ways, we bequeath to the wise Sophs. ITEM IV We will our intelligence, good looks, (if any) and wit to the Juniors, to be used at their discretion. Third: YVe will and bequeath to the officers of the aforesaid 12B class all of our seemingly desirable traits found in the officers of the aforesaid 12A class. ITEM I The leadership of Gilbert Clark, our most beloved President is left to Earl Bastian, President of the June class. ITEM II To the Vice-President of the 12B class, Nada Checie we bequeath Olive Roper’s sweetness, Mildred Cook’s beauty, Dorothy Kessler’s nonchalant manner, Margaret Glynn’s personality and wit, and Martha Boehmer’s athletic ability. ITEM III Mary Greco’s faithfulness and executive ability is willed to Martha Bishop. ITEM IV The art acquired by trying to extract “two bits” from Steve Gulick, Joe Pavia, and Norman Myers we bequeath to Red Weber. Fourth: We do hereby agree at this time to give up some of our much loved and long cherished possessions to certain carefully chosen members of the aforesaid 12B class. ITEM I To Nathan Tanzman a quiet member of the June class, we will the modesty and meekness of Adam Bashawerk. 30 SENIOR YEAR BOOK ITEM II We bequeath the deep admiration of Elizabeth Treat for W. T. to Ruth Decker, who has the same for “Red Weber.” ITEM III We will Lorna Auer’s powers to vamp most of the 12A boys to Helen Miller, a promising 12B. ITEM IV Absolutely all of Ervin Engle’s attractive freckles, we will to Clare Gelhar. a pretty 12B brunet. ITEM V We bequeath Anna Brosch’s promptness to any 12B who is always late. ITEM VI “Joe” Bender earnestly requests her saucy upturned nose be willed to Milo Holdstein, on whom it is agreed this proboscis will be most becoming. ITEM VII We wish to bequeath Lillian Brothers’ title of “Keeping a Man the Longest” to Leona Hepple. ITEM VIII We will the small, distinctive sweater of Wilmot Tompkins to Ivon Moncol, whom we think it will probably fit. ITEM IX Sam Damian’s long, straight hair is willed to Marie Carey in order that she may keep her ears warm these cold days. ITEM X We will the curly black eye-brows of Frank Szalay to Loretta Mitten-dorf a blonde beauty of the 12B class.

ITEM II Austin Bcnditz’s dancing ability and oxford bags to Mr. Monks.

D. 1926, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundredth and fiftieth year. Margaret Barr, Testatrix. Witnesses: Gilbert Clark Olive Roper SENIOR YEAR BOOK 31 The Ohl and the New IN the opening scene of Aristophanes’ Comedy, the “Clouds,” old Strepsiades, the debtor, lay sleepless on his couch, bemoaning the near approach of the day on which his creditors would summon him to court. With all his money spent foolishly, how could he hope to escape judgment? Suddenly he thought why not send his son to Socrates to learn the tricks of argumentation by which one could prove anything one pleased ? The young man received the lessons. He returned before the day of reckoning, but with cuffs and kicks drove his father from the house, then proved to him that such conduct was the proper thing. Just what did this day mean to Strepsiades that he trembled and sought arguments to escape its issues? It was the day when the old moon had faded, and the new had not yet risen,—a day which belonged, according to Greek history, to both the old month and the new—a good time for bringing debtors to account. A good time for thinking of the old and the new; of things conquered in the past; of things still to be conquered. We now stand in the presence of such a day of reckoning. Graduation—Commencement; four years conquered evinced in each individual character; future expectations already shining forth in radiant faces with no thought of idleness. Idleness is a danger but the rush of business life or college work is a danger too. In the desire for success or book learning the art of thinking may be lost. Ill-judged effort and pretension in study may cost one his elasticity and may make him useless forever. Idlers and grinders; popular and unpopular; approved and disapproved must stand on their own attainments. And if, like Strepsiades, they try by any clever shift to avoid facing this fact, they will in the end be kicked and cuffed for their pains. Yesterday is the old; its sum total of results is in the present. Tomorrow' is the new, before it arrives it must needs have become today. The day when we stand arraigned to render accounts to ourselves for debts incurred. All that we are or hope to be is crowded into that day. Yet it is from this we are constantly drawn away. We love to dream, be it of the past or future. Sometimes the poet, regarded as a dreamer, opens his eyes and looks about him—and the world is full of wonder and beauty. The hero, regarded as a doer, fashions his life from the same material offered us. To wraste or neglect the present movement, offered to each to shape his destiny, is a moral defeat. To revere it is true wisdom—to direct it aright is victory. The “Present,” fellow-classmates, suggests to us the present age with all its vast opportunities in it's scientific achievements in high social ideas. All problems resulting from these vast opportunities, each must work out for himself. Are we prepared to face them? Are we able now to think out and reach conclusions pertaining to problems or have we been dreaming awray our time under the excuse of seeking an education? We feel that wre have conquered the old, we aim to fulfill the ideals of our motto for the new—“Vincens et Victurus,” “Conquering and still to conquer!” Mary Greco. 32 SENIOR YEAR BOOK Wisdom___________ Personality------ Popularity_______ Wit .............

I was naturally reluctant to accept this financial encumbrance, but there was really no way out of it, a will is a will and the law must be obeyed. In looking about for some fitting way of expressing my appreciation of uncle’s generosity, I hit upon the idea of spending some of my inheritance in making a tour of the world. It was ten years since the famous class of ’26 had received their sheep-skins and I found myself wishing that I might see them all before setting out on my journey. But, as it happened, I met them each and all along the way. On the morning of October 60, 1936, according to Joe Dolan’s revision of the calendar now used everywhere on earth, I had Chester Livingstone, my valet, pack my grips while Gertrude Kurth, my secretary, called up HofTman and Tatousek Company, who had revolutionized the taxacab business by using the automic engine devised by Harry Cooper and financed by Ruth Mowery. While waiting for the cab to arrive I received a telegram announcing the marriage of Chester Russ and Bernice Shanower. two of my old classmates. This put me in a good humor so when the cab drove up with a fiat tire I merely told Joe Pavia to go to the nearest service station. After the tire had been repaired we drove over to Anna Katzan’s Five and Ten Cent Store, which was putting Woohvorth and Kresge out of business, to buy a gift for the newlyweds. I gave the store keeper the address and told her to send it with all haste. As the boat was to leave in a half hour I rushed down to the dock. “Carry your bags, sir?’’ growled a deep voice and looking down I saw Ralph Quist extending two brawny arms for my luggage. However, I refused his assistance as I had been doing the daily dozen made famous by Robert Egleston, and I boarded the ship carrying my own baggage. The steward, who happened to be Stephen Gulick, led me to the Royal Suite and made me feel at home. Next morning when I reached the deck I found we were far from land. The fresh sea breeze gave me an appetite, so, taking advantage of an invitation to breakfast at the captain’s table, I descended to the salon. The steward handed me the morning paper and as I casually glanced over the headlines I saw with a start that another woman had swum the English Channel, the girl in question being Martha Boehmer, the Portia of modern times. In another section of the paper I learned that Robert Sharp, aerial tight rope walker in John Kapusta’s Circus, had slipped, alighted on the elephant’s back and sprained an ankle. The skin of the animal was given to the Blanchard Museum of Natural History. I found nothing more to interest me, except that William Rose and Karl Willson are entered in the next Olympic games as high jumpers. The paper, which by the way is my favorite journal, is edited by my old school-mate, Olive Roper, famous writer of “Advice to Lovelorn”, and Herman Wahl, now risen to the position of Editor, who uses his columns to stir up patriotism. SENIOK YEAR BOOK 35 After breakfast I went back on deck. I was not at all seasick, due no doubt, to my drinking some of Mary Zawadowski’s famous preventative of mal-de-mer. As I glanced about at my neighbors, my attention was arrested by a venerable old gentleman seated on my right, who opened conversation with me. We talked of this and that until stamp collecting was mentioned. “Oh yes, I exclaimed, “the man who is now the greatest authority in the world on stamps is a former pupil of good old Lincoln High in Cleveland, Ohio. The Honorable William Zimmer and I were always great friends. Day followed day with tedious regularity, nothing to break the monotony but a fire in which one of the sailors, Ervin Engel, was badly burned in saving the pet monkey of the young heiress, Mildred Cook. At last England with its hustle and bustle appeared on the horizon and with exclamations of joy the passengers were soon going ashore. When I reached London I made reservations at the largest hotel in the city. In the elevator I met two world famed workers for Women’s Rights, Dorothy Kessler and Margaret Glynn, who asked me to remove my hat when in the presence of ladies. Not a bit daunted by this cold reception, I invited them out to lunch, but they declined my offer saying that they were going out ‘slumming that afternoon with John Schneider and Austin Benditz, two hapless males whom they had interested in their welfare work. The afternoon was pleasantly spent watching a movie from the States. “Hearts A’Flame was the title of the picture and hero and heroine were admirably portrayed by Gilbert Clark and Varian Casterline, —two players who were rapidly rising to fame. During the next two days it rained steadily so I decided to go to Paris. No sooner said than done. One of the fast aerial expresses made the trip in a few hours and I was soon housed at the Agora Hotel, one of the most aristocratic along the Rue de la Paix. The one thing I remember concerning my visit in Paris was an evening spent at Cafe de la Paix, a fashionable restaurant under the management of Wilmot Tompkins and Charles Neu. Here I met two former Lincolnites, Marguerite Barr and Sam Damian, internationally famed dancers. Arriving in Rome I immediately went to look over the ruins and found Arthur Ritenour, who always was interested in things classic, delving among the ruins for a dime he had lost. Suddenly I heard an awful commotion in the vicinity of two mule drivers and I rushed to see what was the matter. To my consternation I found that Lillian Kubes, Mar-gart Beck, and Arlinc Priebe, former teachers at Lincoln now touring the continent, had had their pockets picked and were in an argument with the owners of the mules. I reimbursed my friends and despite their entreaties declined to accompany them on the remainder of their trip. The people of Rome will never forget Norman Meyers, the man who proved that the ruins were merely a great advertising scheme built to draw tourists. Some archeologists, among these Lorna Auer, claim that his theory is false. Egypt was my next destination. Immediately upon my arrival I put up at the Sphinx which has been remodelled into a very quaint inn by two famous architects, Klem and Schmidt, who got their idea from a book written by Antoinette Giel. I found that the Egyptian branch of Swift and Company was capably managed by Theodore Mossman, but that 36 SENIOR YEAK BOOK he was sometimes accused of substituting camel meat for ham. About this time I was seized with an attack of tropical fever, and Doctor A. Baschawerk, noted brain specialist advised me to return to the United States as soon as possible or suffer the consequences. I decided to start the same day, so I went to the travelers Aid Society, where I met Mary Greco from whom I inquired the quickest way I could reach home. While her secretary was getting the desired information Mary asked me if I had heard of the tragic attempt of Olive Devorek and Matilda Kliment to start a home for blind mice in Arabia. It seemed that the mice which were not blind crept in unawares, and ate the food belonging to their more unfortunate brothers, and the Animal’s Protective League, led by Beatrice Elwood, intervened in behalf of the blind mice. The assistant came in with the news that if I hurried I could catch the cross-Atlantic aeroplane and be home in little more than twenty-four hours. The trip was uneventful and we finally arrived in Cleveland. I stopped at the tavern kept by Dorothy Nieriker. It was one of that chain of inns, built by Lillian Brothers, real estate dealer, which dot the landscape from Cleveland to Parma. I noticed on a theatre bulletin that Elizabeth Treat, Verna Frank and Francis Austin were appearing in Brewer’s latest edition of the Follies at the Hanna. I phoned for reservations, and in doing so I thought I recognized the operator's voice to be that of Mildred Wagner, an old classmate. I was ushered to my seat by Josephine Bender who advised me to drop in at Elizabeth Ord’s confectionery after the performance. My program told me that the music for the piece was specially prepared by Lorna Koplin and Gertrude Brzozowski, musical comedy writers. Between acts I suddenly remembered an important letter which I had forgotten to write, and I asked if a public stenographer were at hand. The manager suggested his private secretary, Eleanora Kriews, who took my dictation with practiced ease. She told me she had met Anna Brosch, beauty specialist, that very afternoon. After the final curtain I went to the stage door where I met one of the celebrities, Anna Brosch, whom I accompanied home. Leaving her pleasant company I drove to the station and took the midnight flyer to New York. Next morning I met Martha Gadzdic who was just returning from a trip around the world, and as two globe trotters are wont to do we spent some time in pleasant conversation. Our tete a tete was interrupted by a young lady who was delivering an eloquent speech in behalf of the Community Fund. The orator proved to be none other than our Anna Kolometz. “New York’’ called the conductor, and with a sigh of relief I realized my journey was ended and I was home again. —Frank Szalay.

Yet we shall not forget, I'm sure, the hours that we’ve spent here for profit, pleasure and experience, the memories of which we all shall cherish in the years to come. The occasion is fast approaching which we have all awaited with eager expectation. Commencement! What visions of fancy do we conjure before us at the mention of the word: the visions of Youth, of life, and of Happiness, the culmination of four years’ study and preparation. Now we are about to experience that time of joy in the satisfaction of work well done, and in the anticipation of work to be done; for graduation has been called quite appropriately Commencement, the beginning; for us it is the beginning of a new life, in a new environment, under new conditions, in company with new friends; we shall be called upon to meet new emergencies, and undergo new trials. But it will be a greater life, a broader life, a joyous life; it will be an introduction to the lives to come to us who shall strive to attain our ideals. It is the stepping stone to that newer, broader life if we will but avail ourselves of our opportunities. Let us therefore acknowledge this step we are taking and consider it in its true light. Now I wish to thank the class for having chosen me as its leader. I am deeply grateful for the confidence and trust that has been placed in me. I am thankful for the splendid co-operation of the officers and committees in planning and realizing so successfully the ventures of the class. I wish to thank Miss Van Fleet, as our class advisor, for the intense interest which she has shown in the welfare of the class. I wish to thank Mr. Smiley, our home room teachers and the rest of the faculty for their ready assistance, and encouraging attitude. I appreciate very much the work that the annual staff has done to make this book as successful as it is. I also wish to thank the student body of the school for its interest in our class activities. In conclusion. I wish to leave with the class the belief that our Commencement is only a temporary disbanding of the organization. So farewell until our first reunion brings us all together again. Your President, —Earl Bastian LI NCOLNI A . I The Class Flower WE, THE June Class of 1927, have chosen the Tea Rose as our Class Flower, partly because it is the flower of June, the month of our graduation. It is the queen of all flowers and its rich, red color stands for loyalty to our dear old alma mater. What flower could be more appropriate? Those who observe the splendid flower are impressed with its superb beauty and grandeur. They long cherish the recollection of the exquisite coloring, which Mother Earth bestowed upon it. Each velvet petal is symbolic of life, vigor, dignity and courage, and each soft green leaf represents youth and ambition. May the June Class of 1927 possess all these characteristics symbolized in this flower. —Virginia Rostocil. Class Colors One day in the early spring there was a brilliant sunset. The golden rays had turned to a blazing scarlet. This was the end of a perfect day. In the East a moon of purest silver was shining. This was the beginning of a beautiful night We, the June class of 1927, took from the sunset the scarlet to remind us of the brilliancy and happiness of our days in high school. From the moon, we took the silver as a symbol of our future, seen dimly before us. We have symbolized the past and the future in our class colors, scarlet and silver. —Mildred Kind. 52 L 1 N C O L N I A Class Song Four years have passed, We must at last Leave dear old Lincoln High; Class mates must part, From every heart There comes a sad goodbye. Our teachers dear Who’ve helped us here And taught us much we know We’ll long recall, We thank them all, As from these doors we go. Our colors bright, The red and white, Which stand for honor and truth, Will always shine And bring to mind These days of hope and youth. Our time is o’er And so once more, We sadly say goodbye; We’ll ne’er forget The joys we’ve met In dear old Lincoln High CHORUS: On flying wings the years still go, We sadly leave, we love thee so, We’ll keep thy memory, Lincoln High, And now we bid our last goodby. —Nellie Rossio. L I N C O L N I A 53 Class Poem Dearer you’ll grow as the years slip behind us, Fondly to you our thoughts will return, How oft on our school days and class-mates we’ll ponder! Lincoln High, how oft for your guidance we’ll yearn! How patient and kind they have been who have taught us, Who have started us out on life’s rugged road! How quickly they answered each call made upon them, Nor counted the work done for us as a load. If we all bear in mind the great lessons we’ve learned here, If we strive to give others the good we’ve imbibed, The world will be purer, and mankind around us Will know on our hearts that your name’s deep inscribed. Let “We conquer through hardships” e’er be our motto As through sunshine and shadow we pass on life’s way: Keep ever before us the ideal of duty Know that e’er we can lead, we must learn to obey. Dear school that held us, dear teachers who taught us, To both, oh so dear, our thanks are now due. All through life, ev’ry day, some thought will remind us Our greatest success is due mostly to you. Goodbye, Lincoln High! Lincoln High, goodbye! —Vida Piper D4 LINCOLNIA What It Means to he a Commencement Speaker DREAMS! Dreams of a boundless desert of white faces, upturned, expectant! Dreams of a solitary, white-garbed figure, forlorn and drooping, in the midst of a lighted stage. Nightmares of words forgotten, phrases twisted and derisive laughter! - - Glorious thoughts of honor, flowers, praise and smiles, together with the thrill of being, if but for once, the cynosure of all eyes! Is that what it means to be a Commencement Speaker? Perhaps; but it also means just four years of patient, hard work. Have you noticed that it is seldom the brilliant students who reach their goal and win the honors? It is those who plod on, always doing their best, who could never do anything but their best, to whom, in due course, comes the great reward. It then means a little more work, a little more grind, but finally it is over and there is the satisfaction of feeling that one’s best has been done to bring honor to dear old Lincoln High. She has done and is doing so much for us, that we can never hope to repay: we so seldom think of her honor and glory, only of our own. Thus, as Commencement Speakers, with a little feeling of pride in our hearts, we can truly say with Tennyson: “The path of duty was the way to glory.” —Vida Piper What II Means to he a Commencement Speaker HOPE, encouragement, and visions of better days, a reward for sincere effort, a stimulus, as it were, to bigger and better accomplishment-—all this the title “Commencement Speaker” means to me and more. It means a strengthening of faith and confidence in one’s ability. It is a realization of a successful period of years at school— an apt introduction to that greatest of all games, the game of life. Then too, it means that in years to come I can sit in happy reflection of the past with no thought of what I might have been had I used my time at school more advantageously. However, this great event has attached to it also an unhappy feature It means the termination of four happy years at dear old Lincoln High and a sad departure from teachers and school chums. Last of all, it is a direct proof of that well known saying “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” —Kathleen Hovanec AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SENIORS Seniors—of the January Class of 1028—At last your day has come. To you we now entrust the honor of the school. To you we leave the duty of upholding the standards of our dear Alma Mater. We offer you congratulations on your choice of class officers May they guide you successfully through this most important year of your school career. May the school be a better place for having known you. We pass on to you the privileges and responsibilities enjoyed by us. Do not take these cares lightly for success is never won by idlers. With a most hearty desire to see you reach the height of happiness and success. (Signed) —JUNE CLASS, ’27 L I N C O L N I A 55 AN OPEN LETTER TO THE JUNIORS Juniors—As prospective seniors you help set the standard of the school. Usually the ranks are thinning out at this point which means the remaining students have to get together and co-operate. This really marks the beginning of a class without organization. You have had the privilege of watching us in our activities, accordingly, we hope that you may profit by our mistakes. Be alert for suggestions which will help you in your work for the school. Remember our motto “Vincit qui se vincit” and practice it. If you follow all these directions you may be sure you will be seniors of whom Lincoln may be proud. —12A CLASS AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SOPHOMORES Dear Sophs (including IOB’s): How happy you should be to have been permitted to gaze upon our intelligent visages and receive inspiration therefrom, (dictionaries may be found in each and every classroom). Now that we’ve got that off our chest we wish to offer a little encouragement. Do not despair. The worst is yet to come. Geometry is a mere trifle compared to the horrors of oratory, that nightmare of your Junior Year. However, be of good cheer your troubles will soon be over. (What’s two years in your young life?) Just think ! ! ! ! ! Next year you will be able to attend the informal (that is if you have the quarter.) Have a care, don’t let this make you too bumptious. With all our senior dignity, we close, —THE 12A CLASS AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FRESHMAN To each dear little one: Stand up for thy rights; do not permit the seniors and upper class-men to walk all over thine anatomy for thou art the hope of the school. Even if thou dost not know where thou art going half of the time remember that “all things come to him who waits” (that is everything but class rooms.) Thou wilt eventually evolve from this stage in thy life. Even as the caterpillar becomes a butterfly so shalt thou become a senior.

L I N C O L N I A CO Why I Wanted a Kid Party 44 A LL THOSE in favor of dropping the subject of a kid party signify A by the usual sign.” “Aye” (All opponents of good times.) “Opposed.” “Aye” (a certain C. G. and C. A.) Well—anyway—we didn’t have any kid party and I‘m still pretty mad, I am. When they all came up to soothe my ruffled feelings, I sa� d, “Don’t mind me, I just work here,” and turned on my heel and left them. I still maintain that I want one. The following is a list of reasons why I should uphold this lofty proposition— 1. Because a kid party would be too lovely for words. 2. Because a kid party would be ideal for frolicksome children such as Gertrude Stark, Earl Bastian, Kathryn Faulh ber, Howard Gehring, Ruth Decker, Edward Thoemmes, Marie Carey, Irma Haberstroh and Donald Goertz. 3. Because the faculty approved anJ longed for one 4. Because all the chaperons would have a chance to act natural. 5. Because Clare Gelhar said so. 6. Because everyone would enjoy seeing Lorna Hartman and “Fat” Ettinger arrayed in baby garments. 7. Because the “freshies” would appreciate having their playmates at school for one whole day. 8. Because we have such a perfect specimen of a kid in the personage of Miss Caroyl McKee. 9 Because many of the seniors still possess their childish characteristics, for example: Richard Wolf, Annette Dadd, “Al” Glasenapp, Mary Janet Traill and “Red” Weber. I ’spect that this party would have proven too much out of the ordinary for those who adore following Lincoln’s ancient traditions; but yet there are always “Columbi” in every place even to our own June Class of ’27. Often times these “Columbi” do not receive enough support to carry out their schemes. Alas! I am one classed in this category. But on the other hand, my kid party would have been too boresome for such dignified students as George Hieber, Helen Miller, Ivan Moncol, Arthur Burkely, Emma Schmotzer, Mildred Kind and “Herb” Bonacker. I cannot pity myself too much for I’m not the only sufferer, for there is at least one more to share my sorrows. But yet I’m not going to dash my aspirations against a stone wall for maybe during the intervening century some enthusiastic member will succeed in obtaining the consent of the class to have the said kind of party; then—both my fellow supporter and I will come to dedicate the brain opening of the wits of the “carry outers” of our proposed plan. —Cecil Asper. L1NCOLNIA 01 How It Feels To Be a Senior rr UE other day three underclassmen came up to me, and excitedly, I with that look of adoration with which they look up to all Seniors, they burst out with, “How does it feel to be a Senior?’ The Freshman asked, “When you get to be a Senior, you don’t have to have your homework, or study at all, do you?” I answered, “Yes, you do. When you get to be a Senior you are at the helm of the ‘Ship of School.’ You must have your lessons, and besides have them almost perfectly. You know, you underclassmen look up to us Seniors, as perfect examples, and we must offer the best example. We would be unable to do this if we did not have our lessons. When you get to be a Senior, Friend Freshman, do not take it to yourself to do no class-work, for the teachers gratify one’s desire to fail whether he be Freshman or Senior. It is, however, a good policy to study not only to pass, but to keep your own self-respect. It is said that ‘when a man loses his self-respect, he is lost.’ This is true in school as well as out.” Then the Sophomore spoke up and said, “The Seniors are certainly lucky. They can do most anything, get out early, and have formals and informals!” I replied, “I am reminded of a little phrase: ‘There, there, little sophomore, don’t you cry, You’ll be a Senior, by and by’.” That is exactly your case. When you become a Senior, you. too, will be able to have informals and formals. But don’t think that having informals is child’s play, for it is not. There is much work connected with informals. The Seniors must play the hosts and hostesses. They must see that their guests enjoy themselves and are not ‘wall-flowers.’ Then too there is the problem of money, and the question of ‘whether we will make or lose money this time.’ It is really a business venture and should be looked upon as such. As for getting out early, that depends on the individual, and on whether his classes permit his getting out early.” Then the Junior boy, in his affected dignity, said, “How does it really feel to be a Senior? ‘To be monarch of all you survey,’ so to speak.” As this was what I was waiting for, I began, “When you are a Senior, you are now as high, in your own opinion as any lord of old. You are now a ruler in your little sphere. You can take part in political affairs, in a small degree, for you elect your class officers, just as your parents do in the community. Now you are getting ready to go out in the world and make your way, or else you are going on to some University, to complete your education. Now yo uare looking forward to your Class-night and Commencement. You look forward to the time when before all your parents and friends you will march up the aisle in Pilgrim Church on that longed for Commencement night. All the girls glorious in their youth and fair beauty, dressed in white. All the boys in their glory, resplendent in their province of fine manhood. Then the class sings the song which one of their number has composed. Then we have a number of talks by the presiding officer and Mr. Smiley. Then we have the talks given by our own classmates, who have had the highest grades for the last four years. Then comes the valedictory. Is there anything more touching than a farewell speech? After the valedictory—we receive our diplomas—we are through with our high school career. We now go out into the world to earn our living and try to repay our parents for their sacrifices in sending us to school. Yes, we go out into the world and become one of the millions working. Oh, it is a wonderful feeling to be a Senior!” —Margaret Bowman r,2 L I N COLNIA N A ME NICKNAME HOBBY AMBITION Barrirk. Faye C.

There was no unusual light or brilliance in the streets to announce the fact that Marma-duke Hemmingway Celke—he was young and had no beard—and some four hundred other young hopefuls matriculated at Lincoln High School where they were dubbed “Freshmen.” Just an ornamental nuisance were they in the eyes of the “Seniors” who poured volley after volley of scathing ridicule into the massed ranks of gentle silly youths, such as Charles Kren, Joe Svec, Harold Brandt, “Walt” Burakowski, who were all athirst for knowledge and passionate for the truth. The gullible “Miguel” Schmutzok and some of his brother flats were found in an ecstacy of embarrassment in all quarters of the building, seekjng the fifth floor office that was not there. Elevator tickets were very much in prominence and Marvlin Beamer and Ivan Moncol never could figure out why they couldn’t ride the elevator with them. Various firms were soon incorporated. These included “Airdale” Doering and any other feminine flat Company, Rosch, Hepple Company, Bastian, Kocian Company, and Schaefer, Casterline, Inc. Of course “Rich” Wolf and Martha Bishop soon saw through the veil of mist that enshrouded Algebra and Latin, immediately setting a high record for scholarship. Other flats, like Anna Pederson, Margaret Kormos and the shy little Irene Kmiec were content to work in their own sphere of mediocrity. An oh! how Clarence Lowe and Ed Thoemmes did love to sing and what a love for music did Miss Mallory instill into their hearts. When the end of the term drew near it slowly filtered into the brains of the four hundred that by some unusual, unprecedented freak of fortune their difficulties had been overcome in their first year at Lincoln High. “Diplodocus” Bastian and Company entered on a brotherly footing for their second term. They insinuated themselves daringly into the structure of the institution by joining clubs which were open for their consideration. Edmund Godziontkowski in his military uniform was a sight for sore eyes. He felt happy and contented in his attire and could execute every order just splendidly except when he didn’t know how. Time went on and the third year rolled into view. This was different; they had had two years of experience which was now to bear fruit. At the informals one saw Alex Celke with his screaming attire. Herb Bon-acker, Georgie Hieber and the worldly wise “Miguel” Schmutzok, who, having mastered the intricacies of the art of dancing found favor with the buxom lassies of their class. And all this time “Al” Glasenapp, “Sig” Sulinski, “Eat” Tomeldolsky, “Red” Weber, “Tiny” Ettinger, “Abie” Kaufman, “Stan” Ustach, “Willie” Rosch and “Joe” Holan toiled on the gridiron, basketball, tennis, track and baseball courts. “Tiny” and his avoirdupois had caressed the gridiron for four years but he always came up fighting. LINCOLNIA 09 The “four hundred” now reduced to some one hundred and fifty seniors returned for their last year, all aglow with an intoxication of their self esteem. The work the teachers imposed was not very exacting, it was too exacting! Miss Cole and Mr. Van Horn permitted the seniors to look up and read about the most wonderful things which “didn’t take a great deal of time.” Such Joe Chemists as Otto Schoepfle, “Howie” Gehring, George Kaufman, Nada Checie and Mae McNamara went to no end of laboratory observation of the nocturnal antics of many things, heretofore regarded as still life. Earl Bastian, the president, handled class affairs very efficiently, as did his co-worker the demure, friendly Nada Checie, vice president. It’s a tough job to collect money but Edward Weber stuck to his treasurer’s post; and the serious Martha Bishop must be given credit for her reports of “At the last meeting—” and Ed Thoemmes, how he did work in the capacity of executive committee chairman. As regards orations, these gifted seniors went through them “just like that.” Except for the fact that some nearly tipped the flowers over, or left out half the oration or paused for a breathing spell, they enjoyed them heartily. Quite a few students had highly developed qualities which are worth mentioning. One winsome, slim proportioned miss (Helen Miller) was an object of interest because she was always so quiet, calm and reserved, and never smiled. Joe Pietrafese was sublimely- beatifically happy when he was in Civics, for there this bulky, “he’ll be president by and by” filibustered to his heart’s content. Indeed he organized a Political Club where he and other seniors could carry on the practice. Mustaches bloomed on many upper lips, “hot ties” were very much in prominence and George Bruehler, George Hieber, “Al” Glasenapp, and others ventured to come to school in knickers. Room 301’s official publication written on the blackboard was called the “Nightcrier.” Of course Miss Coyner had to censor it but it was “Awri”. Hundreds of examples could be cited to show that although the seniors are so wise now, they have had their foolish and “human” day. This class history doesn’t pretend to be an exact chronicle of events but rather a reminder of the fun, laughter, bluff, worry and work that has gone into making the June, 1927, graduating clss of Lincoln High School. —John Revaj 70 L I N C O L N I A Class Prophecy IT WAS June, 1952, just twenty-five years from that memorable June at Lincoln High. 1 sat alone in my conservatory, wearied by my experiments. Mildred Kind, my able secretary, and Norman Voelzow, my chief assistant, had gone, and out in the garden there remained only George Fink, the head gardener, and his assistants Howard Lechner and Robert Miller puttering among the tea roses and ramblers. I was lonely and as I meditated on the events of the passing years there grew upon me a desire to know what the years had brought to others of the June Class of ’27. There was Clarence Bendig, who had taken Nikolai SokolofTs place with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, where Ivan Moncol and Arthur Burkley were appearing as soloists. Then, too, there was Milo Holdstein who had made a name for himself as a personal injury lawyer who tries his cases before the learned judge, Harold Brandt. Helen Miller had entered a new field of endeavor and had organized a successful manufacturing company to make balloon tires for Kiddie-Kars. Her income was reported to rival that of Henry Ford. She said that she preferred Lincoln people in her establishment and so had employed Celia Beckett as efficiency manager, Gertrude Conley as head of the office force, Hazel Haeberle as chief filing clerk, and Lucile Bayne as manager of the welfare department. The U. S. National university established by the United States government due to the efforts of President Joseph Pietrafese to convince Congress that Cleveland was the ideal location for such an institution recently chose Professor Earl Bastian, head of the mathematics department of Yale, as its president. John Pilot, Dean of the Law School has made himself famous for his weekly lectures on “What Laws to Disobey and How to Get Away With It!” Emma Tildes, Dean of the Women’s College, has been the subject of much sharp criticism because of her views concerning modern flappers. Irene Kmiec has made a name for herself with her new methods of teaching Latin. Her recent advancement to the head of the classics department has aroused much favorable comment among her associates. Nelson Schroeder and Norman Swanson, both professors of Latin, have created much stir by their beautiful translation of Virgil’s Aeneid. The public schools of Cleveland, according to Director Florence Riha, have been thinking seriously of abolishing the Latin version altogether and insisting that the new English translation be used in place of the original Latin. As the names of these famous personages passed through my mind there came upon me a great desire to see more of my classmates who had succeeded in the world. To the right of me was the new television phone recently perfected by Charles Kren and installed by Marvlin Beamer, his renowned assistant. By long distance I called New York City where I was connected with the famous divorce lawyer, Albert Kaufman, who was still devoted to Mae McNamara. During our conversation I learned that he had recently returned from Europe where he had seen that political pedagogue, Joe Ilolan, at the world court, Fred Groen-egewn. ambassador to England, and Kathleen Hovanec, who was collecting lizards for Bronx Zoo where Edward Weber was keeper. A1 returned home on the good ship Neversinkiem, owned and operated by the wealthy Miss Anna Mikita. While on shipboard he saw Emma Schmotzer with her Corps de Ballet just returning from an engagement at L’Opera de Francais. Violet Fleming, star contralto of the Metropolitan Opera Com- LINCOL N I A 71 pany, was married on shipboard to an unheard of Russian Duke by Edward Thoemmes, captain of the ship. Raymond Temkovitz, ship purser, acted as best man. The Royal Suite was occupied by Marie Carey, who was returning from her Paris shop where she created fashions for women of all countries. In New York he occasionally saw Lorna Hartman who was married and living on Long Island. Near by Caroline Cass and Bernice Can-operated a quaint tea and antique shop. He also stated that Ruth Decker and Eunice Knippenberg were both starring on Broadway in a musical comedy written by Mildred Rakow and produced by Margaret Chervenka. Anna Petras and Elizabeth Morgan run “The Pirates Den'’ down in Greenwich Village near the retreat of Vida Piper who publishes once a year her poetry anthology. The phone was automatically shut off after I had conversed five minutes but my inquisitiveness was not yet satisfied so I called Nada Checie, the movie queen of Hollywood. She invited me to a party to be held in the honor of her illustrious admirer John Revaj, world famous journalist and historian. The party was to be held in five days so it was necessary that I make preparations immediately. The next morning I called at the famous clothing establishment of Nathan Tanzman and Gordon Winters, where I was fitted with apparel of the latest style and cut. Their English buyer, Otto Schutz, has a reputation for picking fine weaves and styles. At the “Airway line to Hollywood” organized by Constantine Gatsos and financed by Bernard Walzak, I booked passage for the following day through their clerk, Georgene Wendland. Since I had previously purchased tickets for the opera, I attended it that evening. Lucia was the program. The name part was most beautifully sung by Loretta Mittendorf, who was ably assisted by the famous tenor, Joseph Svec; Arthur Womack conducted admirably. His revision has made Lucia the most popular opera of the company's repertoire, according to the statement of Manager Arno Schutz. I took off from Airway’s field operated by De Warren Shartzer. The pilot of the new monoplane, the recent development of Michael Schmutzok, was Clarence Widowski and the mechanic, Richard Wolf, who had learned his trade from Herbert Bonacker’s school of aviation. I might say here that the plane does not run by gasoline but by an entirely new fuel. “Pepo-gas,” the formula of which was discovered by Edward Schmotzer, consulting chemist of the Tomedolskey oil syndicate. At 9 A. M. we were in the air. We flew over the great metropolis, Parma, which owes its rapid growth and development to its present mayor, Donald Goertz. At Toledo we passed over Irma Haberstroh’s rabbit farm, where rabbits are raised for fur only. It is said that when they are dyed and dressed by Bernice Huebner, expert furrier, they cannot be distinguished from ermine or mink. At 12 o’clock we were above South Bend, Indiana. As the plane slowly descended to the field, the pilot pointed out the magnificent hotel of Cecil Asper and Faye Barrick. The crew and I lunched at the hotel. The food was most delicious and upon inquiry I learned that it had been prepared by Ellison Ettinger, famous culinary artist. Faye asked me if I had heard the recent news about Emma Grega and Sylvia Hasek Thinking it would be merely gossip, I was naturally dumbfounded when I learned that they had harnessed the vast energy of Niagara Falls after men had failed. At 1 P. M. we started off again; in one short hour we were in Chicago. There I visited with the mayor, George Bruehler for a short time. He, with the aid of chief of police, Sigmund Sulinski, had made Chicago a peaceful and respectable place to live in. I learned that on the preceding evening Mary Barta, John Benco, Helen Blackwell, Helen Wright and Anna Udics, society scions of the Chicago 400, had held a charity ball to raise funds to rescue Clare Gelhar, Margaret Kellogg, Lucy Stitz, Margaret Kormos and Louise Shestag from the head hunters on the Fugi Islands, where they had been looking for suitable ground for a new golf course originally planned by Julia Shirak. Clement Reikowski and Willis Rosch, with his wife, Leona Hepple, were to head the expedition. The next morning just before leaving I met Clayton Doering and Edmund God-ziontkowski, who had arrived that morning with a car load of cattle for a packing house operated by Ralph Tuttle and Harry Shum. In their employment were William Zimmer, chief skinner, and Edward Obloy, chief sausage grinder. Our next destination was St. Louis. In my rambles about the town I met Martha Bishop and Dorothy Canfield, athletic instructors at the St. Louis High School. Mary Janet Trail was director of athletics and it was due to her influence that Martha and Dorothy were appointed instructors. They were extremely interested when I told them of the remarkable changes wrought on our dear old Alma Mater, Lincoln High. The present school covers several acres of ground. Its broad campus of green turf dotted by groups of shrubbery and intersected by flag walks which ultimately lead into a beautiful sunken garden was originally part of the estate belonging to Grace Giese, a wealthy spinster. The garden was planned and landscaped by Paul Melcher, landscape architect of note. Frank Railsback is the principal and Frances Saccany, his assistant. Mary Vithous and Mary Tiefenbach are teaching civics and economics while Allen Glasenapp is physical instructor. His basket ball team recently won the state championship. One glance at my watch caused me to bid a hasty farewell to Martha and Dorothy, saying I would see them at the party. At 6 P. M. that evening we reached Omaha. I readily recognized the city by the fifty story skyscraper built by Helen Stitz, famous woman architect. We flew on through the night until we reached Denver at about five o’clock in the morning. During the night I slept in a very comfortable bed which, when not in use, folds up into the wall. This was patented by Gertrude Stark after she had had the unpleasant experience of having to remain up all night because of the lack of beds. After we had left our plane we went to a fashionable hotel where we slept till noon. When lunch was over we walked up and down the side streets. We saw a big fat woman in hiking apparei, puffing and sweating as she walked along with a brisk step. This was no other than Nellie Rossio. On another side street we saw a large crowd of people congregated in a vacant lot. There we found a traveling show run by Alex Celke. George Hieber was the strong man, Anna Sazima the living skeleton, Beulah McCann the fat woman, Alma Ziegelheim the snake charmer, and Millie Basile the capricious Spanish dancer. We decided to lie in Denver until the next morning; then we would make a dash for Hollywood and arrive just before the party. During our last evening in Denver we attended a theater. A chorus revue composed of Wanda Bartasewicz, Margaret Bowman, Annette Dadd, Kathryn Faul-haber and Ruth Gilles entertained us by singing Ann Pomozal’s latest song hit, “We eat out of tin cans but we won’t ride in them.” The next morning at 5 A. M. we started off on the last lap of our journey. For the most part of it was uneventful. However, we crossed L1NCOLN1A the Grand Canyon which had been dammed by the foremost engineer of the west, George Kaufman, so that the waters of the Colorado would be held back for irrigation of the waste lands. I was really thrilled when I beheld su«h a great engineering accomplishment. Death Valley is no longer a place of the dead, for in it are grown various crops especially bamboo which is used for making paper. Joseph Redilla and Howard Gehring deserve the credit for making this possible. At various points in the valley they have erected towers of one thousand feet in height, from the top of whch they send intense electrical discharges which neutralize the electrical charge of the clouds and cause rain to fall. This principle is being applied in the Sahara Desert. Walter Burakowski is carrying on the construction work there, Joe Widlicka is financing the project. Just as the clock struck five we descended to the landing field in Hollywood. Lyman Schaefer, prominent real estate agent met us at the landing grounds and conducted us to his home. There I met Peter Scar-pino a promising business man and Virginia Rostocil who had amassed a considerable fortune through the stock market. She told me that Stephen Reymer had paid a record price for a seat at the exchange. After dinner we called the “Speedy Taxi Co.” My host reminded me that Sophia Kovacs, Grace Lawrence, Anna Nelson and Elsie Nelson were large stockholders. By placing Ann Lucak at the head of the organization, the profits have been so great that the fares have been reduced almost to those of the street cars and busses. At eight o’clock we arrived at the palatial home of Nada Checie. Just outside the entrance wras a magnificent statue of Minerva, exquisitely wrought in dull bronze. This was the handiwork of Robert Lobser whose paintings and pieces of sculpture are seen in the largest museums of the world. Our hostess met us at the door. Her gown with its train studded with brilliants was created by Beatrice Muenter and Violet Philo, costume designers at her studio. In her hair there was a tall Spanish comb which cost her husband a pretty sum. She took us around and introduced us to Anna Pederson, brilliant author whose novels have been dramatized by Nada Checie; to Kenneth Reinhart her camera man, to Agnes Slivka artists’ model whose face has been reproduced on canvas by many a fine artist; to Arline Sprankle and Pauline Tobias, head librarians of Hollywood; and to Florence Wetzel and Doris Hughes, character players at Nada’s studio. Julia Nestor and Lucille Woltman, attired as heralds, announced the dinner. To the music of a large orchestra we marched to our places at the table. Mary Konchon, scenario writer, and Anna Koudelka, Nada’s publicity manager, sat next to me and we pleasantly chatted about some of our classmates who were unable to be present. Overseeing all, stood Clarence Lowe, the butler. He watched the occasion with all the gravity and seriousness characteristic of his position. Nearby the door waited big brawny Stanley Ustach ready to forcibly eject any unruly or uninvited guest. In the small hours of the morning the party broke up. After bidding farewell to my host and hostess and expressing my gratitude and thanks for the wonderful time, I told the taxi driver to drive as fast as he could to Lyman Schaefer’s home so I could get to bed. 1 had seen all my classmates, I had traveled miles to do so but great was my satisfaction when I realized how significant and great was the June Class of ’27. 74 L I N C O L N 1 A The Class Will t t 7 HEN in the course of human events it becomes possible for a class to leave its Alma Mater, it behooves it to distribute solemnly among lesser lights the appurtenances and belongings which have made it superior to other classes. Wherefore we, the members of the June Class of 1927 of Lincoln High School, whojiave attained this possibility and who are reputed to be of sound mind, do hereby leave, bequeath, commit, offer, give, transmit, appoint, and dispose of our property, real and unreal, personal and impersonal, individual and collective, in this our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To the Faculty: We hereby bequeath many thanks for their patience and their unceasing attempts to penetrate solid ivory. To Mr. Smiley, our esteemed principal, we leave the happy memory of our sunshiny smiles and our courteous demeanor. To Miss Van Fleet, our worthy class advisor, we give one airship in which she may sail away from the disturbances connected with class controversies. To Miss Inman, Miss Ickes. Miss Hoskins and Miss Covner, our home room teachers we offer our sincere gratitude and lasting friendship. To Miss Wisner we leave our natural instincts, including kindness to dumb animals hoping she may use them on next year’s senior class. To Mr. Adell we leave all the grasshoppers which have accumulated in the laboratory during the year. To Miss Mallory we leave the addresses of several correspondence schools which teach Grand Opera by mail. To Mr. Van Horn we bequeath all the gray hairs of certain chemists of the graduating class caused by overtaxation of the brain. ARTICLE II To the Classes: To the freshman class we leave all the super-rubber tubing about the building; it is said to be valuable to the gums during the teething period. To the sophomores we give our proficiency in the exacting science of avoiding work. To the juniors, whom we have watched with interest, we dedicate our knowledge of the art of handing “Apple Sauce’’ to the under classmen. To the 12B class we give the privilege of being the first class to graduate after ours, also the privilege of having its picture in our family album. ARTICLE III To Various Individuals: Earl Bastian, our honored president, leaves his ability of making himself heard above the din and roar of the members at class meeting, to Frederick Weigel. To Eileen Chervenka, Nada Checie leaves her sweet and winning personality. “Red” Weber leaves his knack of getting class dues from the tightest of tight seniors to Nelson Rubensaal. To Alice Thompson, Martha Bishop leaves the privilege of trying to get all the members of the class to sign the constitution. L I N C O I. M A 75 Nathan Tanzman bequeaths his interest in girls to any ambitious freshman who is willing to work for that exalted position. To lone Wood, Lorna Hartman gives her slender and graceful form; may she be blessed accordingly. To Ralph Hieber we gladly bequeath all of Milo Holdstein's fearless oratorical ability, also his unusual capacity for not being at all comprehending that he can never be in the wrong. To Ruth Kopp a promising young frosh, we bequeath Cecil Asper’s extremely long golden tresses. George Hieber to William Leslie, leaves his artificial incisors, to be used as he sees fit. Margaret Chervenka’s magnetic vamping powers we leave to any junior in distress. Helen Miller’s great love and admiration for a certain party, we bequeath to some other two parties. We bequeath Edward Thoemmes’ knowledge of the ways of a man with a maid to Joe Miller. To every other individual we leave a small sum of money with which to purchase a huge bowl. This is to be used for the shedding of the many bitter and sad tears shed on account of our departure. This, the last testament and will drawn up by the undersigned. Clare Gelhar, No-a-Countess. Witnesses: Cecil Asper Herbert Uonacker. 7({ L I N C O L N I A Diary of a Senior -1926- Sept. 13_____FIRST DAY AS SENIORS.

Lincoln’s Guard Svstem • EVERYONE can remember the congested halls, the roaming and romping, and the general disorder during the lunch periods in days long gone by. Everyone can also remember the dignified orderly way in which Lincolnites have deported themselves of late. The reason for this change is the guard system which was conceived and sponsored by Miss Coyner. The guard system for one year is divided into four quarters. During the fourth, fifth and sixth periods there are several supervisors and many guards on duty. The supervisors are Seniors, the guards, underclassmen. The supervisors are responsible to Miss Coyner for the conduct and work of the guard while the guards are responsible to the supervisors for the order in the halls and elsewhere The Seniors who have given time and labor to this just cause deserve a remuneration of some sort. The Pearl Street Bank has provided pins for these boys. The guards receive full gymnasium credit for their time on duty. The supervisors Harold Brandt George Bruehler Marvlin Beamer Clarence Bendig Otto Schoepfle John Pilat John Revaj Ellison Ettinger Edward Obloy Howard Gehring Walter Burakowski Norman Swanson Norman Voelzow for this last year have been: Alex Celke Donald Goertz Joseph Red ilia Earl Bastian Nelson Schroeder Joseph Svec Elmer Thomas John Benco Willis Rosch Clement Reikowski Michael Schmutzok Ivan Moncol Robert Lobser 78 LINCOLNIA The Follies of 1927 4 tiHIS way folks! I Step right in! See the great mystery show. O-N-L-Y ten cents!’' Here it is. Wonder show of the age! Gorgeous beauties direct from Paris!” “Come right in, Ladies and Gents. See the great thriller for two tickets. Ten dollar seats for ten cents!” This and more came from the lusty throats of howling barkers that memorable night when Lincoln High reinstated the old custom of having a carnival. Amusements of all kinds greeted the visitors on every side. Snake charmers, beauty parlors, dime thrillers, marionettes, mystery show's and cheap melodramas, all helped to relieve them of their week wages. Nearly three thousand men, women, boys, girls, and children crowded each other in every part of the building. Here a mob tried to eat, there one tried to rush a beauty show while the biggest mob of all were stepping on each other’s feet for five cents a struggle in the gym. The proceeds of the night were gratifying, even though ambitious seniors tried (and did) sneak into all amusements. The money has been used to purchase a new piano on which musicians will play to delight the faculty in the years to come. Riddling the Senior’s Names 1. A wild, ferocious animal—Wolf. 2.

L I N C O L N I A 7I� Athletic History of Class J THE athletic history of this class dates back to the year 1923, when it first made its appearance in these halls. Not willing to see the upper classmen gain all the glory for the school, this group of ambitious freshmen plunged into every sport that they were allowed to participate in. The attention of the entire student body was soon drawn to the remarkable record that was being established. The prophets and other wise heads immediately prophesied the appearance of a great athletic body which would place Lincoln in the foreground. To a great extent this prophecy has been fulfilled. As soon as the freshman ban was lifted from their heads, this same body began to fight it out with the seniors for regular berths on the teams. And what a fight it turned out to be! Several of the more conspicious of the group actually succeeded in accomplishing the feat. With such outstanding players as “Tiny” Ettinger, A1 Glassenapp, Sigmund Sulinski, A1 Kaufman, Edward Tomeldolsky and others, the class of June ’27 established a most enviable record. It is with the deepest regret that this body leaves and it hopes that the coming classes will carry on where it left off. —Edward Weber Girl’s Athletes IN THE four years that we have been at Lincoln, girls’ athletics have become one of the leading activities. Clubs were organized, new teachers became sponsors. In 1923 the Leaders club was organized. This association has proven to be very beneficial to the school. The Girls’ Athletic Association had for its program many interesting features, banquets, hikes, baseball and basketball. At the end of our first term the girls from Lincoln had an opportunity to spend one week at Camp Roosevelt. Forty-two girls spent one week of their summer vacation at this camp. In the beginning of our second year the Leaders club was re-organized. Girls were selected for their scholarship, personality and good work. The physical exhibition at the Public Hall, May 17, was another big event. Girls from Lincoln were chosen to enter in dancing, wand drills, relays, games and exercises. A football banquet was given in honor of the players of the season by the G. A. A. In our Junior year the swimming meet at the Y. W. C. A., Wednesday, May 26, will be remembered by many Lincolnites. Several girls from our class participated in the events. During our last year Miss Potter has been sponsor of the G. A. A. Many hikes were given and teams were formed for various games. Championship games were played in baseball and basketball. Miss McKee created much enthusiasm and interest when she started a tennis class. Beginners were taught the rules of the game and after understanding all the points of the game were allowed to enter into a tournament for that class. The Leader’s Sport Dance given May 6, was a huge success. Many students attended the affair. During these four years at Lincoln these athletic organizations have progressed to a great extent, making school life more interesting and helpful. —Grace G.

WHAT student has not at some time in his school career asked himself this question? Yet how few really answer it satisfactorily. Some deem it a foregone conclusion that study is useless and a waste of time. It is usually this group that constitutes the lower third of the class. Students of this type are firmly convinced that study is a futile waste of energy. Then there are the indifferent ones; those, who, though they have sought an answer to the question, have given up when a reasonable conclusion was in sight, and fallen back into the haphazard habits of old. The four years of high school life pass lazily on for these. The bitterness of mediocre work changes into an indifference that is as detrimental an influence to the student’s growing character as any other could be. Then comes Commencement, a time of joy, and elation. For those who have really worked during the four years there is the exultation of spirit that comes only with victory. Theirs is the happiness of conquerors when fields are taken. Theirs is the power of knowledge and skill. Theirs is the satisfaction with work well done. Their reward has come. But the indifferent, disdaining students pass on and out of the life of the school leaving no pleasant memories, taking none with them. Theirs is the ignoble fate of the unknown. There is a common expression, “The man with a purpose wins,” and so it is, in high school life as in every other sphere. The student with a purpose wins. The student with an earnest desire to accomplish something and the ability to keep on working when others give up is the one who wins the laurels of success and recognition when school life ends. He is the student who will make the successful man of service to the world. Who can sincerely say that study does not pay ? —Earl Bastian Alumni School of Education Beatrice Elwood, Jan. ’27.

A 05 YOU TOOK NO HEED Bird- you winged creature of the sky You took no heed; And laughing at struggling man, soared high; You took no heed When man wondered how he could fly. “I am king of the air,” you cried. You took no heed When man wondered how he could glide; You took no heed When man mused, devised and tried. Bird, you once rule the limitless sky. You took no heed; Now, you cringe, as winged man flutters by; You took no heed When man wondered how he could fly. —John Benco Cleveland Metal Specialties Co.
