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. Elmer Schmidt.

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.
