They harmonize perfectly and it is this element that is most necessary in our future. Coral is a combination of yellow and red. Yellow, is symbolic of wisdom, an attribute we have tried to attain during our high school years. Red is for our sincere love for our friends and fellow classmates. Lavender, signfies power, a characteristic we all need in order to succeed in this world. All of these qualities are necessary for the success and happiness of every man and woman. These, therefore, are the reasons for which coral and lavender have been chosen as the colors symbolic of the January Class of 1928. —Carl Jacobs. THE LINCOLN! A 33 Class Poem WITH sharpened scythe, old father time Sweeps four more years away. We’ll cherish and remember Each and every high school day. Oh Lincoln High, So dear hast thou become to us, That now when we must part, A cloudy mist obstructs the sight And grief surrounds each heart. For in thy halls we’ve knowledge gained. Through hours of work untold We’ve tried to sound the depths of life, Its curtains to unfold. To thee, dear school, our teachers, friends, Our parents, classmates old and new, We give a vote of thankfulness, Our brothers good and true. And some of us will leave this state, And some will leave this land, And some may never know the grip Of friendly schoolmate’s hand. But let us go where’er we will Beneath the smiling sky, Thy memory will ever still Be with us, Lincoln High. —William Leslie. Class Motto” As we stand on the threshold we wonder what the life beyond the door, Commencement, holds for us. We know that success in that life can come only through honest efTort and hard work; that we cannot hope to succeed except by doing right. Therefore, we, the January Class of 1928, have chosen for our motto: “Glory follows virtue.” —Randall Kightlinger.

Upon hearing these flowers mentioned one readily remembers their harmonious colors and lasting fragrances. The sweet-pea is symbolic of purity and sincere faith, combined with wisdom. The tea-rose signifies, by its lasting odors, memories, which we have made during our brief stay at Lincoln High School. So, may the January Class of 1928 leave behind it, lasting memories by which it may be remembered in days to come. —Carl Jacobs. 36 T II E I. I N i. O I. N I A Class Song 1. Four fruitful years away have sped Each leaving its wealth and lore; With heavy hearts we oft look back To the happy days of yore; Engraven deep in every heart With pleasant memories untold, Are lessons, Lincoln, thou didst impart Which our youthful lives shall mold. 2. Not all the lessons thou hast given Not all that thou offerest youth Did we take, but we have striven To learn of thee, truth; Hopes, dreams, joys, fears, Are with thy name entwined; Memories, longings, and friendships dear Will bring us back, 0 Lincoln. Chorus Little it matters where we roam Near, or far away from home Our love for thee will never cool, Never—dear Lincoln, beloved School! Words by Gerardo Cozzarin. Music by Weldon Rehburg. THE LI NCO L N I A 37 Class History IT was a dark and dreary morning in February when we entered this honorable institution of higher learning. Some of us came to this majestic building on a tour of inspection, others in a quest of fun, while others actually arrived with the idea of learning something. A most unusual case, however, was that of George Braatz who thought he was going to get something. The poor boy was so disappointed that he turned to women, a malady from which he has not yet recovered. Our members amounted to three hundred and seven, but we have dwindled down to a mere ninety-eight because some of us withdrew to go to work, others left to go to some other school and still others were forced to leave school on account of poor health. As Flats we were insulted and made to feel very small and plebeian by our superiors, the upper classmen. Before we realized it a year had passed and we were sophisticated sophomores. Military training was still very popular, and many of our handsome young men joined the khaki ranks. The big war was over but there were constant battles between the blouses and breeches of our cadet uniforms. We were entitled to join clubs and many of us did. In this brilliant year of our high school career we had our first social function, the Hallowe’en party. At this gathering we were simply dazzled by our aspiring young classmates, “Chuck” Marquardt, Eunice Gregerson, Louise Rylett, Michael Hardony because of their seemingly marvelous ability to do the then very popular “Finale Hop”. Biology was a chosen subject among us. It was in the Biology “Lab” that Ruth Schwartz delighted to dissect frogs and to pull to pieces poor little helpless earth-worms. It is really and truly hard, classmates, to think that one could be so heartless and cruel, but the element actually prevails among some of us. In our most cherished Latin classes Caesar met death for a second time at the hands of “Mutzie” Schwenk, another fine example of our extreme cruelty. In the natural course of events we became Juniors, much to our surprise, and ,we were allowed to attend the “Informals”. As a rule everyone danced, but of course some one had to help hold down all those nice chairs around the fioor so Paul Stefanik chose this as his profession, Official Wallflower. In our Physics classes under the supervision of Mr. Salisbury, Weldon Rehburg delighted in blowing out fuses and taking the ammeter apart to see what it was made of. Our Junior year passed by rapidly and soon we entered the last year as fullfledged Seniors. Many of us regretted it, especially “Joe” Holan, who is aspiring to remain in school another six years. The senior year would have been enjoyed by all of us if it hadn’t been for those bothersome subjects. At this time most of the slow thinking people of our class entered the fateful realms of Chemistry. Here in the “Chem. Lab.” George Gerlach made several attempts to send us all to our deaths by blowing us up, but we will forgive him as he was not always entirely to blame. Because of Fred’s and Eileen’s fine executive ability we chose them to lead us this year. Alice was selected to record the momentous happenings at our class meetings while Nelson was elected as our treasurer because of his ability to extract money from almost anyone. Alice McRae was made his assistant because of her winsome ways and charming smile. 38 THE LINCOLN! A Soon after the class was organized we got our rings and made plans for our Informals and social functions and Michael was chosen to carry out these plans. When we returned to school in the fall we had our color day. Then shortly after our pictures were taken, a most trying experience for some of us. Our two Informals and our Formal were very successful. Some of us took part in the operetta “Lelawala” which met with the approval of the students and our parents. Now that these four years are drawing to a close and those who sought fun have found it and those who came to learn something have done so, we look ahead to that which is the highest in our minds, Commencement, and the reward for these four years of work is ours. Soon the members of the January class of ’28 will take their places in the world as graduates, whose future can be revealed by no mortal person, but may their happy days at Lincoln always be fresh in their memories. —William Hallauer.

T HE LI N COL.NIA 30 Class Will ON this thirtieth day of gloomy November The Seniors beg you all to remember That this's their Will and Testament On which endless time this scribe has spent. To Mr. Smiley, our noble guide, Whose kindness and patience we've often tried, We leave to you, Our Leader dear, A better football team next year. We leave something useful to Miss Van Fleet Our Class Adviser, so loving, so sweet, A moving stairway to be built in her hall To prevent any accident sustained by a fall. Poor Mr. Monks! He worries so About these Freshmen who roaming go And this, Mr. Monks, we leave to you— An obedient group of Freshmen new. To our homeroom teachers, for us full of fears We leave all our smiles and frequent tears. Our kindliest thoughts, and wishes true For joy, success and happiness too. To you, dear lowly Freshmen green, Who shouldn’t be heard but only seen, We’ll leave this gift so rare and fine, At all lunch hours, the end of the line! Sophomores, worldly wise and great, The time is short e’er you’ll know your fate. To you with sadness, as a sigh we heave, Our popularity with the Librarians we leave. Ah! Love-sick Juniors, dumb but nice, When this we willed we did think twice, To you, we leave, though we hate your “sass”, An elevator trip to your fourth floor class. To you, 12B’s to us so near, Who, too, will soon leave Lincoln dear, We leave to you, without hesitations Our well known ability in giving orations. Now Frederick Weigel, our president skilled, Has many virtues that can be willed; But his leadership and his good nature, too, He leaves to Johnny, the president new. To Elizabeth K. an officer new To her we must leave something, too, So Alice McRae leaves to you, dear child, Her sunny nature and temper mild. 40 THE LINCOLNIA Our Economical Treasurer, Nelson, Wills to Joe Shurie all his fun In making his money go a long way When he gets all the troublesome bills to pay. Alice Thompson, retiring and shy, Leaves to Ruth with a reluctant sigh Her courage in asking permission so bold For writing notices on blackboards old. William Leslie, the lover bold, Who knows not a thing of hearts that are cold Wills to Ralph Rockwell, of remarkable fame, His most artful schemes in winning his flame. Edith Plotz is good and fair As she cheerily calls—“Hello, there.” Her smile is just a priceless pearl That we leave to the sweetest Junior girl. Harold Scherbarth’s permanent wave Is one of the nicest things you can have, So, Bill Patterson, we’ll leave it to you And we’re sure you’ll look adorable too! Avis Gray, a vampish lass, The most flirtatious girl in our class, To Ethel Keck she leaves her skill In making people follow her will. Michael Hardony is a man that is dandy, And at fixing the stage he surely is handy, So we leave your ability as handy man To the 12B’s choice of a chairman. Rosie Hellriegel has Clara Bow’s “It” So we’ll will her ability in making a “hit” To any girl in the Sophomore class Who’s striving to be a popular lass. Weldon’s method of tying his tie Makes all the envious Infants sigh. So to you, dear Freshy, with Weldon’s leave This unique method we bequeath. Jimmy Irwin, a serious lad, Who never’d think of being bad We’ll leave his virtues all, en masse, To Julius Tatka of the 12B Class. We’ll appoint as executor, Mr. Kerr, And we ask you to do your best, dear Sir. And there’s nothing more that to me would appeal Than here affixing my hand and seal. —Eileen Chervenka. THE LINCOLNIA 41 Class Prophecy Here it is, just two days before Christmas in the year 1953—and I am in the midst of the confusion that precedes the Yuletide festivities. Ever since I left Lincoln High School my apartment on Mac Dougal street, Greenwich Village, has been my home for the past twenty-five years. You see fate has been kind to me, even though competition has been so keenly felt among the art centers. I am entertaining this evening the people who have formed my staff of co-workers in my art school. Ambrozi Paliwoda, Peter Drotar, and Elsie Schneider have been my assistants for the past ten years. Each of my departments has a very efficient manager, among whom Goldie Breznay, Mary Zapotochny, James Irwin, and LeOtta Ridel have executive positions. This little party was planned as a get together affair in memory of our former Lincoln High School parties, even though some of us had gray hair and we were no longer on the sunny side of thirty. I had taken a little trip this summer to various places of importance in the United States, and had them recorded in my diary. The apartment is looking its best after a complete overhauling, and I am in my best spirits—all ready to jump and greet my friends when the door bell rings. There goes the door bell. What a confusion and stamping of feet! “Take off your wraps, folks; and make yourselves at home! I have a diary here that holds many secrets of my trip during the summer and of the friends I met while vacationing. Sit down and review my trip with me friends. Well, here goes! July First— I started off from Roosevelt Flying Field- New York, which is now owned by Emil Bayer and George Clegg, a couple of wealthy financiers. My first stop was Washington. July Second— Here I found Joe Holan, in Congress, filibustering. In the Senate I found Carl Naegele, senator from California; Frederick Fischer, Kentucky; Wm. Hallauer and Otto Haneberg, senators from Ohio. I left the building at Washington with great pride and admiration because our class of January, 1928, was well represented in the governmental affairs of the United States. On the morning of July 33, 1952, according to Hilda Fricke’s revision of the calendar now used all over the world, I had Lester Law. my valet, pack my grips, while Irene Sirl, my lady in waiting, called the Twins Taxicab Company, owned and operated by Dorothy and La Verne Ramp, and Irene and Eunice Schuur. While waiting for the cab to arrive I received a telegram from Paul Stefanik, pastor of Pilgrim Church- announcing that he had just married Stella Michno. I told Irene to get a present from Franz’s Jewelry Shoppe and send it by air mail to the newly weds. The air mail, by the way was operated by Avis Gray, and Norman Goertz, two people who since they have left Lincoln High twenty-five years ago, had made good at aviation. 42 THE L1NCOLNIA The Twins Cab finally appeared on the horizon with the four wheels all wabbling in different directions and the name scatter bolt written on the back of the wreck. After directing my taxi driver, Michael Sabat, where to go, I fell into a deep sleep, for I knew the journey would be a long one. We traveled day in and day out over the rough roads until finally after three days of rough sailing, I reached Coney Island, New York. Being very hungry after the journey, I immediately left for a Coney Island restaurant. I was surprised to find Urban Siebert, Josephine Wagemaker, and Mary Forrester, working as waiter and waitresses de luxe, while Edith Plotz, was chief cook and bottle washer. As I glanced about at my neighbors my attention was attracted to a charming young lady seated at the right, who started to talk to me. We talked about everything under the sun and finally foods were discussed. “Oh yes,” I commented, “the man who has advertised fifty-seven varieties of foods for the past thirteen years is a former pupil of Lincoln High, Cleveland, Ohio. The honorable Elmer Heinz and I had the same instructor for salesmanship. July Seventh. My vacation days were rapidly drawing to a close. Calling up by the new dial system telephone, perfected by Martin Schwenk, I received news that a hydroplane would soon leave Coney Island for Florida. July Ninth. The time finally arrived and my interests were soon drawn to Miami, Florida, the paradise of the Sunny South, where my plane had docked twenty-four hours later. I left the plane in a taxi driven by Carl Jacobs, for the Hotel De Ritzy, a fashionable place for poor people, owned and operated by Helen Naymik. The afternoon was pleasantly spent watching a movie entitled, “Love’s Labor Lost,” admirably portrayed by Eileen Chervenka, and “Fritz” Weigel, two players who have rapidly risen to fame. July Tenth. Next morning when I awoke breakfast was served to me in bed by Elmer Thomas, head waiter at the hotel where I was staying. Reading the “Daily Blah,” edited by George Doleys and Gerardo Cozzarin, gave me a thrill to find in big type,: “Ralph Hieber Revolutionizes the Real Estate Industry in Florida.” During the next two hours, with nothing to do but loaf, I decided to go to Ralph Hieber’s real estate office. No sooner said than done. One of the fast bus lines made the trip in half an hour and I soon was talking to my old school chum. All that I remember of this visit was, he tried to sell me some land that was all wet. to my imagination. He suggested that I go to Cuba before returning to New York. July Eighteenth. I left Key West for Cuba and was in Havana in six hours. After I arrived in Havana I immediately left for the “Gypum” Race Track, where I found Weldon Rehburg, and Nelson Sommer, playing the ponies. Suddenly I heard an awful commotion in the vicinity of two bookmakers and I rushed to see what was the matter. THE L1NCOLNIA 43 To my surprise I found Elizabeth Kash, Emily Kleckner, Eleanor Dey, Helene Grosmehr, Louise Rylette and Eleanor Landis, former society women of New York, now touring the continents, had been tricked in picking the wrong horse and were in an argument with the bookies. I calmed my friends and despite their entreaties, declined to accompany them on the remainder of their trip. July Twenty-second. No one has been more of a drawing card to Havana for the big butter and egg man than Mary Tuleta, the modern exponent of Russian dancing. Even the critics- Norman Schucard and William Leslie, have given her first place as the best Russian dancer living. July Twenty-fifth. My next stop was New Orleans. The first night there, I spent at the “Pepper Pot,” where I met Janet Cornell, Lillian Shober, La Verne Stentz, Elizabeth Plumer and Claire McKnight, members of the New Orleans branch of the Cleveland Trust Company. July Thirty-first. About this time I was seized with the “Call of the Wild. After consulting Rose Hellriegel, a brain specialist, I was advised to go to El Paso, Texas, to vanish the cowboy complex that I had developed. August Sixth. Now at El paso, instead of cowboys and “he” men of the west, I found bugs. Golf bugs, men who chased a ball over an acre of ground and using strong language every time a ditch had to be dug in order to send the pill on its way for another trial. August Thirteenth. Had it not been for the nervy cowgirls, Eleanor Gehring, and Eunice Gregerson, participating here in their Annual Rodeo Week demonstrating equestrian feats, I would not have stayed here for more than three days. The next move was to the coast. August Twentieth. The scenery on my way to Los Angeles, California, was wonderful. Had I learned sooner- however, that Lawrence Mueller was the chief landscape architect for the Santa Fe Railroad I would have enjoyed it more. Now here was Peter McLeod, and Michael Hardony, chief stage and set up men for the Pathe Film Corporation, working hard to help put over the act of Gladys Cowles, leading lady of “Why Boys Leave School for Los Angeles.” Leaving their pleasant company I drove to the railroad station and took the midnight flyer to Seattle, Oregon, to see one of our great Northwestern lumber camps. August Twenty-first. Here in the great Northwest I found Henry Marquardt, and George Gosnik log rolling, in which struggle I could not decide whether they wanted to get the log in the water or get themselves in a very wet condition. August Twenty-ninth. On my return East, I stopped at Denver. Now, Denver, Colorado, was just the spot for an artist to paint the beauties of Mother Nature, I thought. T stayed here two weeks resting up, and enjoying my vacation to the utmost, and finally was on my way to Chicago. 44 THE LINCOLN I A While at Denver I ran across Charles Marquardt, Howard Krisher and Randall Knightlinger, forest rangers, who had good news for me. They had met Edward Siebenhar, banker, and Edward Wodzinski, professional banjo player, touring west on their vacation. September Sixteenth. I landed in Chicago. Here I found Harold Scherbarth and Dallas Claus, acting managers of the Chicago branch of Swift and Company. October Twenty-fifth. When my train steamed into Cleveland, the great Aerial Terminal Landing Place Tower stood out on the horizon as the masterpiece of Cleveland. This great piece of granite stone and mortar was designed by Edith Alexander and financed by the Upright Finance Company, of which Ruth Schwartz, Lydia Keen, and Eleanor Kintzel, were joint partners. When I reached Cleveland, October 27th, I made reservations at the largest hotel in the city. In the lobby I met Jeanette Borowski, and Evelyn Gannon, two famous society women gathering money to equip the homes of Norwegians and Alaskans with Frigidaires. November First. I took a trip back to my dear, old Alma Mater. To my surprise the spacious green lawn had taken on a different aspect due to the artistic ability and landscape gardening of Zdenka Dohnal. George Braatz, Norma Vondrasek and Vivian Brow, were teaching violin and were successful at turning out pupils who were in the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Lucille Studer. Nelson Ruebensaal had been elected principal of Lincoln, with Alice Thompson, his assistant. While here I learned that Lincoln High School was celebrating with a banquet the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the school and the fisrt class. The banquet was a success. Rose Serio, who had become a great newspaper writer, and Flor-entyne Desormaux, noted actress, Ruth Horsch, famous pharmacist, all were there to enjoy the celebration of the school and the January class of 1928. November Tenth. My vacation had ended. I decided, since it was my last night in Cleveland for some time, that it would be a fine thing to witness the play “Lelawala,” in which Elsie Scotland was starring. Helen Sheehand, Pauline Snyder, and Josephine Lukes, were managing to put the play through its fiftieth season with great success. This play had out-run “Abie’s Irish Rose” by many years in Alice McRae’s chain of playhouses. I reached New York on the eleventh day of November, completing my vacation, which had covered nearly four months. Our business had increased rapidly, and we thought by adding Lucille Sommers, Mildred Horak and Ruth Lehman, famous women fashion designers, we would have the most exclusive and complete art center on the continent. When finally our party broke up and my friends had left me all alone in my apartment, I glanced up at the class picture of January, 1928, and wondered what fate had in store for each one in the years yet to come. —Albert Soeck. THE LI N C O L N I A 45 Class Oration FELLOWSHIP Fellowship! what unlimited possibilities and high ideals this one word suggests. Fellowship represents the basis of all that we have accomplished, and hope to attain in this life. Fellowship is the very basis of the civilized world as it exists today. It should be fostered by all the nations of the earth. It should be taught the little children as well as the young men and women who are about to assume their various duties in this great world. The highest form of fellowship is that with God. When we realize the greatness of all God’s creations, it is easy to see why this fellowship is necessary, yet how few people in the world have this fellowship. The Man of Galilee in his life on earth has given us an example of the most perfect fellowship that has ever existed between God and man—we might well try to emulate Him—for only when this fellowship is attained by all the peoples of the earth will be eliminated the ravages of ignorance, hatred, immorality and crime. Another type of fellowship is that with other races of the earth. Most of us are familiar with the school strike which took place in Gary, Indiana, when students walked out because a few colored children, whom they regarded as contamination, were admitted. It is a sad state of affairs in a democratic nation, when its young people resort to a demonstration of this kind. Is it because they have no way of knowing better, that they have not been taught the principles of fellowship with other races? All the nations of the earth originated from a common progen -or, yet we find unfriendly relationships between them. The past Armistice Day has reminded us that we must choose between World Fellowship and World Conflict. The past World War still brings to mind the horrors of World Conflict—that brutal killing, that suffering of humanity, that accumulation of vast debts which will burden our future generations. Fellowship is the paramount purpose for which the World Court and League of Nations strive. The world today is becoming a great fellowship with the aid of our schools, churches, Y. M. C. A.’s and through the services of the ocean cable, moving pictures, radio, steamship and aeroplane. We are also becoming more closely allied through trade and literary intercourse. However, only when this fellowship is placed on a more firmly established basis, will be eliminated the horrors of World Conflict and human destruction. The most practical and vital type of fellowship is that with our associates in our daily life. The world would be a dreary place without this fellowship to make tolerable its existence. Only as we see ourselves reflected in the praise or blame, the love or hate of others, do we become conscious of ourselves. Since our fellowmen are so essential to us and we to them, it is our duty to live in as friendly relationship with them, as possible. In our daily lives we should take this attitude: “I shall live but once, any good, therefore, that I can do for my fellow man, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.” The main point, however, is to give the other person a square deal. But don’t stand so straight, that you can’t lean over to help a friend. And who is the friend? Not just a little circle of Jack, Tom, and Jimmy, so that you give the rest of 46 THE LINCOLN! A the world the cold shoulder. It is all right to have your special friends and find pleasure and help in one another’s society, but open your hearts and minds to others also. For the more people you know, not just to say “Howdy” to, but to talk with, act with, think about—the more you know of the world and everything that’s in it. The square deal has another name—The Golden Rule, laid down by the Man who, better than anyone else that ever lived, gave everyone a square deal. He said: “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unco them.” Little do we realize how far the little acts of kindness go toward making life happy. A little hint of this is given in a poem from the Detroit Free Press, entitled, “The Day's Results”. Is anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along, Or a churlish sort of “howdy,” and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish, pure and simple, as you rushed along your way, Or is someone very grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight in parting with a day that’s slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said? Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or poorly spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God can say You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today? Classmates! now as the time draws near when we must leave dear old Lincoln, we think of our association with one another for the past four years, the friends we have made, and the happy times we have had together. There has always been a wonderful spirit of fellowship among us as well as with our teachers. There has been that mutual understanding and general spirit of helpfulness. Now as we are about to go out into the world, each to assume his particular duty in the great game of life, let us ever remember our friendship at Lincoln and those principles of fellowship which will be most essential to our daily lives—fellowship with God, with other races, and with our associates. Let us always ask ourselves, “Can God say we have earned one more tomorrow by the work we did today?” Nelson Reubensaal.

The chief characters in the operetta were largely portrayed by members of the January class of 1928. Elmer Thomas, who took the part of the Indian chieftain, Wokomis, thrilled the audience with his deep bass voice and his stern, majestic manner, so much like that of a true Indian chief. The sweet plaintive voice of Elsie Scotland as “Lelawala the heroine of the tale, was also greatly enjoyed by the audience. Frederick Weigel, class president, and William Hallauer who took the part of Englishmen, were greeted with laughter and applause at each and every appearance on the stage. Earl Russel, too, drew many a smile and chucKle from the onlookers. Frank Kintzler as Klolowar, Carl Naegele as Caaptain Bliss, Gladys Weir as Napanee, and Harold Scherbarth as Marpeetopah acted their roles convincingly and added much to the performance by their solo work. The exceedingly difficult role of Shungela, the villain of the story, was well portrayed by William Leslie. Weldon Rehburg, who took the part of Major Wallace and Irene Schuur who played the part of Mabel, his daughter, also sang their parts well. Others who took minor parts in the operetta were Edith Plotz, Louise Rylett, Ralph Rockwell, Norman Thors, Robert Wagner. Jacqueline Farley, and Colletta Coll, Eunice Schuur and Gladys Cowles took the part of English women while Helene Grosmeher, Alice McCrae, Avis Gray and Helen Naymick were Indian squaws in the play. Lester Law took the part of an Indian warrior. “The performance of the operetta was 100 per cent, said W. O. Phillips, head of the West Tech music department. Students at West Tech, were, at the time, preparing to give “Lelawala on January 13th. “I shall be pleased if the West Tech cast does as well, said Mr. Phillips. The following are those to whom the Glee Clubs and their director, Miss Margaret Lord Mallory, are grateful: J. B. Smiley, principal; W. J. Monks, assistant principal; Miss Lula Van Fleet, assistant principal; Miss Myra McCoy, publicity in school paper; Miss Amie Inman, art posters; Mrs. Freeman, dancing; Miss Mary Hemmersbaugh and Miss Bertha Palmer, Marquilleuse. One of the helpful parts in the presentation of “Lelawala was the accompanying on the piano by George Gosnick, Mary Louise Maier, Marion Geisser. —Rose Serio. 54 THE L I N C O L N I A 12A S OF BOY’S GLEE CLUB Gosnic.k fiporw . 107 Rehburg, Weldon _ 307 Hallauer.

The story takes place in a rural district of Ireland, in the spring of the year, 1830. PROLOGUE You’ve been here for a few short years, And rumors may have reached your ears Of a certain group of joy purveyors Whom people call the “Masque Players.” For months now we’ve made preparations To give for you a presentation Of life about a century back, It’s called, “The Heart of Paddy Whack.” A lawyer in a country town, A coy young maid from Dublin down, A great big goose, a little lad, And a man who sells a horse gone bad. An Irish squire and his dashing son, A deaf old woman with a rattling tongue, A spinster with a haughty mien, And a housekeeper who’s never clean. Having told of nearly everyone In this little play, it’ll be begun, So be attentive, and listen too, And we’ll soon begin our play for you. —William Leslie. The amount cleared from the performance was about $500.00. “Everyone who saw the play liked it immensely. The work was com mented on very highly,” said Miss Marchand.

Oftimes we have come to thee tardy and late, Rebellious, unrighteous, undeserving your praise. You received us unlearn’d, unprepared for our fate, Yet we finish much cultured in all of our ways. “Farewell, mighty Lincoln,” we in singing unite As preparations for leaving we sorrowfully make, And our poignant grief we silently fight In our downcast hearts forLincoln’s dear sake. Lincoln! Lincoln! the home of our youth, To thee we gladly render our homage, And our praise and gratitude forsooth, We pray that your teachers will kindly acknowledge. Lincoln! Lincoln! the home of the blest, A sympathetic mother, most generous and kind, We'll ever remember thee with thoughts of the best, And will carry thine image impressed on our mind. —Yvonne Piper. Class Flowers We. the June class of 1928. have chosen the pink tea rose and lily-of-the-valley as our Class Flowers. The pink tea-rose, queen of flowers, is superb in its beauty and grandeur. It is the symbol of love and beauty ever new. Each soft petal, however delicate, represents a sterling quality which we must strive for; each little thorn, a difficulty we must surpass. May the rose which future holds for us have many petals and few thorns. The lily-of-the-valley, so modest and pure, is symbolic of unconscious sweetness. Oh that we might become as fine citizens of our country as the lily-of-the-valley is of its shady glen! —Alice Galbraith. T II E LIN’C O L N I A •n Class Colors Blue! the heaven’s own hue! It is a color we should all recognize as the symbol of loyalty. Silver, lustrous and shining, yet calm and peaceful beneath the brilliant lustre! The members of the June class of 1928 have chosen Alice Blue and Metallic Silver as their class colors because they appreciate the need of the harmony which they portray, and the excellent qualities which they represent. —Alice Galbraith. Class Motto “Nunc deducimus, ubi stabimus?” which means “Now we launch, where shall we anchor?” is the motto which we, the June class of 1928, have chosen. Where shall we anchor? This question confronts each one of us. Some of us have definite plans for the future, others have only a vague idea of the port they shall anchor in. Our courses in the sea of life will vary greatly. The routes which lead to the great lighthouse, Success, in this vast seat, are many and difficult. Let us then, regardless of the course we chose, keep this goal in mind, strive earnestly for it, and reach it! —Alice Galbraith. Which Type Are You? Nastursiums gay While at their play Swing merrily, Swing merrily, In colorful array. The violets blue And kissed by dew Sway modestly, Sway modestly, Each in its shady pew. The lilies tall And jeweled all Wave haughtily, Wave haughtily, Beside the waterfall. —Alice Galbraith. T II R LIN C 0 L N I A r� s Class History THE eighth of September, 1924, was a most important date in the history of Lincoln High School. On this day several hundred proud graduates of junior high schools and grammar schools entered this most distinguished and most respected institution of higher learning. Perhaps members of the faculty wondered as they saw these extremely green individuals, frantic in their efforts to find the fifth floor office and quickly jumping at any chance to buy elevator tickets and lunch room permits, whether or not we would ever become acclumated, but they soon discovered that we were to be not only the largest but also the greatest class in history. As flats, we were soon to learn the mysteries of Latin and Algebra, to reveal our operatic voices in the bi-weekly chorus classes under the baton of Miss Mallory, and to exhibit our ability in the gymnasium under the experienced leadership of “Major Lorimer. Our diplomatic relations with the sophomores, who were our superiors and belligerents, were soon cut off, however, when we discovered for ourselves that their pretentious advice was somewhat preposterous and an armed clash (contrary to the principles of the World Peace Conference) was prevented only when we entered the sophomore class. As sophisticated sophomores it did not take us long to forget the never ceasing and overpowering tyranny of the newly promoted junior class. Indeed, we left nothing undone in our endeavor to impress the incoming freshmen that we were the most dignified and most important high school class. Military Training, which was to witness its last year in the Cleveland schools, was open to the blasse and militaristic members of the class. Gordon Smith and Raymond Bliss distinguished themselves in this manner of self defense and were soon promoted to higher ranks in the R. 0. T. C. Of especial interest in this connection was the field meet held at Gordon Park. Because of the distinguished services of the sophomore members of Company A, we gallantly walked away with third place in Company drill. Our interest in school activities mounted. Those who possessed unusual musical talent, such as Ethel Keck, Colletta Coll, Frank Kintsler and Earl Russel, eagerly contributed their services to the Glee Clubs, while the Latin, Hi-Y and Friendship Clubs soon initiated the outstanding and co-operative members of the Class. In our third year as juniors we were allowed to attend the formals and informals. We realized our importance when by our great cooperation with the Senior Class we made successful all their activities. The so called “school spirit was still predominant at Lincoln, and so the success of the basketball, football and track competition was intrusted to us at this time. With such stars as Patrick Troyan and Stanley Woollkt on the basketball court, Alfred Reese and Orlie Moore on the gridiron, and Howard Keith and Charles Bobeck on the cinder path, our athletic teams met with some success. Although we had been the most important class throughout the preceding three years, we still wanted to show the outside world that we could take charge of and run the affairs of this school. When much opposition was presented, we magnanimously turned over this duty to Mr. Smiley and his co-workers, and became content with organizing T II E I. I N ( O I. N I A our class under the guidance of Miss Van Fleet. The government was a pure democracy with each member having but one vote. There were no political parties, such as are common in city government, but there were one or two radical communistic socialists. (Names are not mentioned for personal reasons). Frank Libal and Myron Klein then held non-partizan conventions and announced their candidates. After long drawn out campaigns, an election was held, and, contrary to all expected results, the following officers were chosen to lead the June Class of 1928: John Burdorf, President; Elizabeth Kitsteiner, Vice- President; Ruth Tims, Secretary; Joseph Shuri, Treasurer; Anna Au-waerter, Assistant Treasurer; and Evor Kerr, Chairman of the Executive Committee. A constitution was formed with no means of enforcing it, which is inconsistent with the principles of good government. In spite of the above mentioned difficulties, we always met with success in our class activities. Our class rings were ordered and distributed; two informals were held; and our class night dinner and formal combined was received well. The senior play, “Quality Street,” was one of the outstanding events of our last year. Our four years of high school are drawing to a close. Commencement, the reward for our four years’ effort, is near. It is not the end, but the beginning of a newer and finer life. What will become of the one hundred and ninety-seven members of the June Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight? —Edwin Wright. 60 T H K I. I N (’ 0 I. N I A Orations of the June Class of 1928 I.

For four glad years you’ve harbored us, You’ve taught us all we know, So is it strange that the end of our day Finds us reluctant to go? Chorus: With smiling lips and tear-filled eyes We turn to go. We linger as we say goodbye Because we love you so. We’ll miss you more than we can tell, And now, our Lincoln High, “Farewell!” We stand on the brink of the tomorrow, We face the world and its strife, But we feel no fear as the trial draws near, For you have prepared us for life. We’ll always hold your high ideals, We’ll keep your standards bright, We’ll be as brave as the red of our school, As pure and true as the white. Goodbye to the school which has taught us The beauty of honor and truth, Goodbye to the halls where the late sunshine falls As golden and lovely as youth. We’ll keep your teachings in our hearts, To win we’ll ever try, We tarry long o’er these saddest of words: “Goodbye, Lincoln High, goodbye!” —Louise Reichardt. T II K L I N (' 0 I. N I A (50 THE LIN C 0 I. N I A G7 Class Prophecy” THERE was great excitement in Cleveland. A mammoth reception was being held for all Cleveland high school graduates at the Public Auditorium, and Mary Louise Maier, as chairman of the reception committee, had asked me to stand in the receiving line. This was going to be a great chance for me as I had to “cover” the story for the News. Mary Louise was a great social worker and spent much of her time working for the Salvation Army. It was through her persuasion that Mary Hacha consented to sing in one of the bands and her sweet voice could often be heard on Cleveland streets unless drowned out by Bryant Blanchard's persistent strumming on the banjo. (At the insistence of Edwin Wright, influential citizen of Cleveland, the banjo had been added to this band.) In the street car on the way down to the auditorium, I noticed an advertisement for the Palace featuring Lester Schnabel,—Norton Weber and their chorus of dancing girls. Among them I noticed Colletta Coll, Alberta Jablonski, Elsie Sindelar, Mildred Robinson, Lorna Manke, and Marie Rubin. The crowds were terrible but I succeeded in getting to the crossing. “Keep back on the curb,” commanded a gruff voice which almost scared the life ou{ of me, and I looked up to behold the sweet, angelic face of a burly policeman, Evor Kerr. He guided me safely across the street, and I finally reached the auditorium. “This way, madam,” and I realized that the usher, Edward Hemmeter, still retained his girlish habit of blushing. I was informed that many world celebrities would speak. Warren Schomberg had captured Paderewski's crown and Charlotte Schwartz his understudy, had also acquired a name of musical fame. lone Wood and Mary Mason, pals inseparable, were vying for honors at the Olympic meet, and their manager, Jane Kubit, assured me that they had a grand chance for honors. John Burdorf, as mayor of the city, would of course, welcome the crowd of graduates. Chief Justice Ethel Keck, would be one of the most popular speakers from Washington, D. C. Among the first of the graduates I saw was Joe Shuri, who with Curtis Casper, had won fame for their flexible shoe strings manufactured from sphagettti. Curtis told me that William Patterson would be unable to be present for he was still looking for the lost chord in Egypt. He had seen Evelyn Dietrich and Jacqueline Farley in a convent garden in the role of nuns. These two sweet-faced girls had retired from this wicked world. Alice Galbraith was a graceful dancer in an Egyptian harem. Speaking of harems, Oscar De Pew almost caused a war between Egypt and America, when, as he recognized Alma Miller as an unwilling occupant, he attempted to break into one. He finally rescued her, and now “they’re living happily ever after.” Anthony Leis and Frank Libal, along with Joe Florian and Arthur Za'hn, were devoting their lives to writing a book called “Why We Should Study Trigonometry—and How!” “Well, Fred Behrens, where have you been?” “Oh, he’s a successful contractor and is building a castle in Spain for Grace Muro,” chimed in Martha Richardson. THE LINCOLNIA OS “And you’re editor of the Saturday Evening Post,” said Fred to Martha. “But did you hear about Gilbert Manke and A1 Lentz? Gibbie tried to teach some of the Africans a Lincoln yell when he was in Africa on a hunting trip and they made him chief of their tribe. A1 demonstrated the latest dance steps and now they have adopted them for their war dance. Helen Vician and Norine Donner are mother advisors of the tribe, and believe me, it needs ’em. Virginia Work, Catherine Barth, Olga Buczyniski are installed down there as hairdressers, and they’re kept pretty busy giving the African belles wind blown ‘bobs.’ Virginia Warner is a manicurist. “Look who’s here, Helen Baker! You’re president of the Union Trust Bank? Well, please remember me if you ever have a surplus on hand. Ellen Katona is private secretary to the president, and her friend, Eva Whittaker, runs a tea-room in Washington. One day, after I had had tea in Eva’s tea-room, I took a walk about the city. Standing on a box on a street-corner, Marjorie Welchli, very severely dressed, was crying out ‘Down with the males,’ and demanding woman suffrage. Gladys Bierman was her earnest supporter,” concluded Helen. Eleanor Smith and Mary Yaroma had succeeded in successfully blending two kinds of powder which Evelyn Bahr and Stella Lewan-dowski had sent over from India. Graham Allen and Ralph Rockwell had joined a company of snake charmers in a circus which was soon coming to America from India, with Raymond Bliss as ringmaster. George and William Petro, Andrew Semon, Carl Breummer, Earl Gladden, and Joe Ellis, were continually thrilling crowds with their daring acrobatic stunts. George Kleinhans was proclaimed the world’s tallest man, and Paul Hummel and Orlie Moore were employed as wrestlers. Margaret Balbach and Virginia Brooker chose seal taming as their profession. Wallace Goldenbogen, the man with the magnetic eyes, constantly sent people into trances. “Did you hear about the new fish hook that William Fischer has invented? He has opened a fish cannery in Oregon and James Cornel, Charles Demjanovic, and Earl Dunford are in partnership with him.” “Chuck Bobeck! Where do you hail from? A style expert from Paris, with May Peth, Anne Auwerwater and Louise Hughes as salesladies? And so Elizabeth Kitsteiner and Ruth Tims are models? “Did you hear the latest?” asked Miriam Kessler. “Frank Kintzler is teaching Spanish dancing in New York and I am his partner.” Ruth Bueschlen and Mathilde Tober are teaching at Reserve this year. Yes, Lillian Saurenheimer is at Lincoln teaching law. Ella Gimbel and George Hazlett are teaching chemistry. “I’ve got lots of news for you,” said Genevieve Graham. “Since I inherited so much money, I've been traveling around the world and I’ve seen quite a few of our classmates. In New York State Anna Trojak was giving Willis Martin a run for his money for governor. Marie Baran was still starring in “Quality Street.” This play had come to New York for the sixty-’leventh time with the same cast. Earl Russell is Speaker in the House of Representatives. On the boat crossing the ocean I met Max Norton, who is employed as chief steward. Edward Lynch and Clifford Kocian had been practicing tennis on board ship for the Wembly games, but they had to give up all hopes for they lost the ball. THE LI N C O L N I A UU Yvonne Piper met me at the boat as I landed in England. She’s poet laureate this year. Grace Geckler and Catherine Flandermeyer are her private secretaries. Helen Senyak has won much fame for her marvelous violin playing and has a school for advanced pupils. In the same school Sam Hruska and Mike Lucas leach violin lessons. Louis Kopniski is Prime Minister of Great Britain and John Hiller is the United States Ambassador to New Guinea. Mildred Rauschkolb and Eleanore Miller along with Joe Boncek and George Gerlach have opened a three cent store in England and have put Woolworth out of business. Hazel Barney is their advertising manager. It is through her great foresight that this project has met with such wonderful success. George Katona, Edwin Keenan, Howard Keith and Mitchell Kecic sing all the popular numbers accompanied by Florence Jindra at the piano. “Well, this receiving business is all very fine, but my feet feel just like lead.” “I've the very thing for you, madam,” exclaimed Ralph Homuth. “This salve made up by Sylvia Houdek and Edith Ingham enables you to stand for hours with practically no foot trouble at all,” and he handed me a small box entitled “For Tired Feet.” “Whom else did you see, Genevieve?” I asked. “Agnes Hovanec and Hazel Close have opened a home for homeless waifs. Co-operating with them are Anna Miterko, Hazel Vereeke and Anna Shubeck who manage a summer camp not far from the home. William Schultz is their attending surgeon, and Colleta Weber, Grace Weidemer, and Eleanore Calta are nurses. Mary Pelechaty has charge of the office. Gladys Hall is chief gardener and she insisted that they plant Irish moss all along the walks. She certainly has a failing for mosses of all kinds. “John Johansen and Robert Flower are both caretakers of large castles on the Rhine. “Theodore Kubit, Margaret Kormos, and Paul Kusnerek have made money with their K. K. K. Electric fan. The startling ‘ad’ which goes with it is this: ‘If your doctor prescribes a change of air, buy a K.K.K. Electric Fan.” Colletta Huebner and Florence Hutfiiess are salesladies for this popular firm. Joseph Kacic and Randolph Huebschen both have seats in the House of Parliament. Myron Klein is engaged as companion to the Prince of Wales, and is writing a book entitled, “How to Ride Successfully.” “Ethel Kreisen and Florence Kloss have been made famous as interior decorators. In the same company Alex Lightman and Joseph McKenna do all the necessary painting. “Later on in our trip I went to India where I was very much interested to see Russell Lieblein employed as an elephant trainer, and the big brutes sure do mind him. In one of the villages in India, I saw Walter Maruna, Ruth Mayer and Mildred Mauer making small ivory souvenirs. They took me to the cutest little tearoom operated by Robert Moraghan and Andrew Novak. Edward Moriarity dropped in for tea and I found he is writing a series of articles for the Cosmopolitan concerning the present caste system in India. “From there we went to Egypt. Oliver Novorska and Edward Prokesh were caravan guides, and they told us that Margaret Oldach, THE UN (’ O L N I A 70 Gizella Otis, Louise Reichardt and Helen Rygalski now were very wealthy society women, and had preceeded us into the desert. Louise had married the Duke of Mantilla and was now on her honeymoon. A band of nomads passed us and we recognized Ewald Olmosk and Alfred Reese among them. “Turkey was our next stop, and in Constantinople we saw the three musketeers, Karl Richter. Bruno Sommerfeld and Everett Snyder, on a street-corner, arguing per usual. It was they who started woman suffrage in Turkey. “I don't remember seeing any more Lincolnites until we got to San Francisco. Eleanor Scharp was out in the bay in her yacht. Eleanor’s golf champion of California, you know. Peter Sauchak was piloting her boat. “In Hollywood Annamae Scherman is starring “How to be Happy Though Married,” and it is said that she and her husband are living examples of this picture. Charles Schoen is a movie director. Bernice Schuette, Edna Schultz, William Schwarkowsky and Wilma Sheehand are in many pictures under his excellent supervision. Helen Sloan is responsible for the new hot dog factory that has just been erected in the suburbs of the city. In one department, Gordon Smith, Mike Solar, Johnny Speeth and Elmer Stricter were taking the bark out of the hot dogs. In another, Walter Struhar, Patrick Troyan, Clarence Vavrina, Raymond Vishnowsky, and Edwin Vondrasek were putting the tights on the frankfurters. “Some who had attained great fame for their aeroplane stunts were Mildred Fischer, Agnes Harbard and Elizabeth George. Florence Sorger and Silvie Tanzman had invented a new parachute which had been tried and accepted by experts. “Carolina Vandersee and Irene Walczak had established a doughnut factory in connection with a hotel owned by William Wasko. Evangeline Wetherbee, Gladys Weir, Edgar Wolfe and John Zavoda made the holes for the doughnuts.” You surely have given me a fine report and it has saved me a lot of time. I see many of those whom you have mentioned here tonight. Thanks a lot.” Just then Chester Ziemba and John Zurri, pickier of pigs’ feet and lawyer respectively, rushed up to me. “Did you hear about Elmer Eischen? You know he’s a cowboy out in the wild and woolly west. Well, he’s struck oil! Then they rushed on to spread the good news. “Well, I guess I’ve covered my story, anyway. I guess I’ll beat it!” I walked out of the auditorium only to be stopped with this astounding news, “Stanley Wcolket is proclaimed the greatest singer the world has ever known.” Well, our class surely has done pretty well. If they haven’t been the greatest people in the world they have at least left a dent to show that they’ve been there! By Jean Macdougall. T II E L I N C 0 L N I 71 Puns on Names 1.

Oh yes, they are, although you wouldn’t think it to look at them. For instance, here is Evor Kerr making speeches with his usual volubility. Next in line are Olga Buscynski and Gih Manke about to get together.” Last but not least in this line is “Jack” Farley, dancing again, yet, still, etc. In the second (2) row is lone Wood, playing Socko.” Next we have Graham Allen, the only one of his kind in captivity, just coming out of a trance. Trances, by the way, are Graham’s latest achievement. Next comes little Edith Ingham vainly trying to straighten her curly locks. All by his lonesome in the next row is Howard Kieth doing a little basketball practicing on the side. Next in line is Evelyn Whittaker trying to decided upon the one and only. Here is Willis Martin managing a basketball player; and next to him is Joe Shuri, who occassionally indulges in a stick of gum. We caught him rehanded this time! Below these people is our friend Walter Struhar, searching his tired brain in order to decide which of his many sweaters is most becoming to him. ’Way at the bottom is little Elsie Sindelar, chasing the men, as usual.

I N C O I, N I ff THE younger people of this country, from whom in twenty or thirty years leaders of this great nation will be chosen, are frequently stopped by that small word but great stumbling block, “if.” Though meaningless, it has often been the destroyer and cause of downfall of many great nations whose leaders resorted to that word. So it has been for many years past that great men have become famous because they forged ahead and accomplished what seemed insurmountable, and did not spend their time in dreaming. So it is to-day and so it will be for all times. “The man who thinks and acts, without unnecessary delay, is the man who will lead his people through every crisis.” Many, many times plans of action have been dispensed with, without any harm to the nation or to the individual. To delay facing a matter may be a wise move for a time, but when the day comes and the question is vital to the races of the world, the man who said, “If we put this off for a short time nothing will happen,” is not the man who will be a leader of his people. He will be a detriment to them, because he is not the kind who can rise to heights when the occasion demands intelligent action. A story points out the destructive effect that the word “If” can have on a person’s will power. “Out in the State of Oregon there was employed by an Irrigation Company, a young man as a watchman on a dam. The dam overlooked a small settlement of about five hundred inhabitants. One dismal rainy night when it was about time for the watchman to go on his rounds of inspection he looked out of the window and said to himself, ‘I will go out in a half-hour if it stops raining.’ The rain did not stop and the watchman stayed in his warm hut. About three o’clock in the morning the dam broke and the town was wiped out. Three hundred people were drowned and several hundreds of thousands of dollars of property were lost because the ‘IF’ man did not do his work. So he ruined his life and the lives of many others.” Human nature in every person is much the same and the only way that people differ is by their outward appearances. When the matter is sifted down to a fine point, man will follow the lines of least resistance, that of making excuses and allowances if it is easier than doing the work itself. So it has been for many generations, people laying side that work which does not appeal to them and only doing that which does. The world in which we live to-day is very different from that of yesterday, and the affairs of our day will have to be handled in a very different manner. Our generation is responsible for the working out of these problems. We will have to have leaders who possess strong character and dettermination to do things. Those people will be the ones who can think, and act quickly and surely. They will have an “I will” for their words instead of an “If.” So, Classmates the time is not far distant when we must leave Lincoln High and go out and earn our way in the world. “Places are noted for that which comes from them. Let us make Lincoln go on forever. Let us follow that ideal plan of life that Kipling gives in his poem “If.” — 70 T II K I. I N C O L N I A “If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the will which says to them: “Hold on!” If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more —you’ll be a man, my son!” —Evor Kerr, Jr. The Ideal Girl Eyes----------- Lips----------- Teeth__________ Eyelashes______ Hair___________ Smile__________ Dimples________ Voice__________ Complexion — Profile-------- Hands__________ Feet __________ Figure ________ Posture _______ Style___________ Intelligence___ Poise __________ Personality____ Dignity--------- Cheerfulness __ Fearlessness _ Quietness______ Humor__________ Friendliness Strikingness Perseverance Modesty-------- Musical Ability Dancing Ability Athletic Ability Poetic Ability _ Singing Ability Artistic Ability Martha Richardson Annamae Scherman _______Helen Baker ____Virginia Warner __ Mildred Robinson _______Marie Baran ______ Elsie Sindelar ____Florence Hutfliess .

N I A NOW, dear classmates, the time has come to which we have all looked forward in a state of expectancy. Commencement, which has been appropriately named, is the beginning of a new life; an advancement toward what may be called our vocation, where we shall meet new friends and new experiences; where we all shall strive to forge ahead and reach our ideals. Old classmates, let us continue and improve that which we have started at Lincoln; let us set sail to find the best things in life, among which is the satisfaction of work well done. I am grateful to the class for their having chosen me as their leader; for their trust in so doing. I thank them as a whole, as committees, and as individuals, for their splendid co-operation which has made all our class undertakings a success. I am grateful to Miss Van Fleet, as advisor to our class, for the services rendered for us. If our class has seemed combating at times, we offer our sincere apologies. I am grateful to Mr. Smiley, our homeroom teachers, and the rest of the faculty, for their helpfulness and encouragement in moments of depression. I am grateful to the Annual staff for having edited this book which will carry many dear memories in the future. T am grateful to the student body, for it was with their help also that our class activities were successful. And now I hope that we will consider this side of Commencement merely the adjournment of a class meeting, and that we all will look forward to a time when we shall meet again, and until then, au revoir.

I N C O L N I A How It Feels to be a Senior AFTER three long years of hard work (?), as first a Green Freshman, next a Silly Sophomore, and then a Judicious Junior, it surely is a “grand and glorious feeling to finally become a Sophisticated Senior. How great it seems to go down the hall and be pointed out as a member of the 12A class! In the Freshman year one looks forward to being a Senior as a far distant goal, achieved only after days and months of hard, patient labor; in the Sophomore year the dances and parties are the great attraction; in the Junior year one especially wants to become a Senior because of the superiority it brings; and in the Senior year this is accepted quite as a matter of course—a worthy prize for the completion of your high school education. Being a Senior is very exciting! First of all there are the class meetings and the different questions all of which are soon peacefully(?) settled. After most of this excitement is over you allow yourself to sink back restfully and “take it easy. But this is a sad mistake. Your troubles have just begun. Your oration is looming in the near future. First you must select your topic—as easy a one as possible—and then you begin to write it. After about fifty trips to Miss Palmer you are ready to memorize it. Perhaps not quite as many visits to Miss March-and are necessary, but they are not at all impossible—I know! As the day of your oration draws nigh, your friends seem to take a great deal of delight in reminding you of this fact, using the well-known phrase: “It won’t be long now! Of course you get through it all right, not counting the shaking of knees, trembling of voice, and an all-round nervousness—but we Seniors never let little things like that bother us! And anyhow, after you’re all finished, some beautiful flowers—preferably roses—are presented to you, and you march proudly through the hall, surrounded by a host of admiring and congratulating friends. Soon after this is over. Commencement and the Formal are given a lot of attention. The favorite topic of every girl in the graduating class is: “What are you wearing to the Formal? and perhaps the boys are talking about the same thing, though it wouldn’t do any good to ask them. When one thinks of Commencement, he is immediately aware of several different conflicting emotions; excitement, happiness, awe, sadness, and probably a genuine curiosity of how it’ll feel to sit up there and “Commence. And after that—the class will separate and each go his or her own way— But let us not think of such things as that—let us merely concentrate on the all-important fact that you are a Senior, a great, glorious, superior, sophisticated, dignified Senior—and nothing else matters! except, perhaps, that it feels great! —Marie Rubin.

The mighty prophetess is gazing in her crystal ball. By this powerful crystal, she is able to forecast the future. A hazy maze forms, now the bubble bursts and she sees a large crowd, rooting and shouting and waving their banners as Orlie Moore and Alfred Reese carry the pigskin to victory. They have proven to be Red Grange’s only rivals, and they are world famous. Another bubble forms and breaks, and she sees lone Wood, the world-famous basketball player, leading her team to victory. She is winning against those wiry French-women, proving Americans usually win. What is this she sees? A red bathing cap far out in the deep blue. As it comes nearer to view we see Mary Mason has just completed her third complete English Channel swim. Now she sees a large track with some familiar figures preparing to run. Why, there is the famous runner, Howard Keith, and talking to him is Joe Shuri, the record-breaking hurdler. The famous milers, Fred Behrens and Earl Russel come into view. Their well-known coach, Robert Moraghan, is telling them some last minute hints, and he seems to be very confident of their victory. Madam Mystery now gets a glimpse of a spacious gym floor, where Agnes Hovanec is directing a huge gym class in a new tango dance. Colletta Coll, the famous singer and piano player, is seen playing for Agnes. Press reports have it that Miss Coll used to play for gym and music classes at Lincoln High School. At an adjoining building Sam Hruska is seen rasping out commands to his gym team that is entered in the Olympics. (He got his training from Mr. Auer at Lincoln.) What is this the Madam sees? Louis Kopniski is breaking in a new bronco on his Texas ranch. (In strict confidence we learn Louis hailed from Texas and while attending Lincoln High School he practiced riding a dummy horse.) Who is this she sees? Why it is Joe Ellis, the world’s champion prize-fighter. It has been said this fighter knows his English due to faithful teaching from teachers at Lincoln High. The Madam grows tired now and puts away her magic crystal. It has been a very lovely afternoon and she begs us to come again. To her Lincoln High School is a fine place, and she hopes to see again more famous people from Lincoln High, in her crystal ball. —Marjorie Welchli. Key to Pictures 1. Which way are you pointing? 2.

Quality Street” THE play, “Quality Street,” written by Barrie, was given by the students of Lincoln High School on Friday evening, May 25, 1928, and Saturday evening, May 26, 1928. Everyone who saw this excellent play enjoyed it. The work of the students who took part was very well done, thanks to their dramatic ability and Miss Marchand’s earnest work. “I wish to stress the fact that these plays do the students a great deal of good,” says Miss Marchand. “Quality Street” is a comedy written in four acts. The odd, yet enchanting story, takes place in England in the time of Napoleon’s wars, 1805. PROLOGUE Phoebe of the laughing ringlets, Phoebe of the winning smile, Sweet and quite petite Miss Phoebe All her time in fun beguiles. Never says a harsh or hard word, Never wears a peevish frown, Smiles her sweetest, dresses neatest. For the dashing Mr. Brown. Then there’s the recruiting sergeant Hero brave of many a war, Fills Miss Phoebe’s heart with terror, By his tales of ruthless gore. “I’m Miss Susan, Phoebe’s sister, I’m very glad you folks to meet, We both live quite happily On quaint old ‘Quality Street’.” I can’t forget the two old maids, Mary and Fanny Willoughby, Or pettish, callow Ensign Blades, They’re all amusing as can be. So we lived along quite happily, In our cozy little nest, But the war took husbands, sweethearts, Valentine Brown among the rest. T II K I. I N ( 0 L N I A 89 But he came back, as lovers do. And tried to win her heart anew, By—oh, but come and see our play, And figure it out, your own sweet way. “QUALITY STREET” The characters in the order of their importance were: Phoebe Throssel______________________________ Susan Throssel------------------------------- Valentine Brown------------------------------ Mary Willoughby------------------------------ Fanny Willoughby_____________________________ Recruiting Sergeant-------------------------- Patty, the maid------------------------------ Charlotte Pratt______________________________ Ensign Blades-------------------------------- School Boy___________________________________ Other school children ______Marie Baran _____Dolores Zeber ____Philip Eichhorn _____Sylvia Snyder _________Helen Clark _____Robert Cousins ____Agnes Hovanec _____Isabelle Ayres ____Thomas Monks _____Peter Leopold —Alice Galbraith.

I went to a dance last night and some dumb girl stepped all over them and just simply ruined these cute little shoes of mine. They were my favorite ones and I just know that I’ll never be able to get another pair like them! “Never mind, honey, said Evor. “All the sighing in the world won’t bring them back new again although I know that they were just too darling for words. My feet hurt today, too. I was tramping all over town yesterday trying to find a suit for the Formal and the salesman I had kept on showing me gray when he knew just as well as I that I simply cannot wear gray. I finally got something though, the sweetest little suit! Perfectly stunning! Just then Willis Martin tripped gracefully by, vainly trying to smooth down his unruly locks. “Goodness, he declared. “Seems as though I can’t keep my hair in order today. I can’t do a thing with it. But I have a date with my hairdresser tonight for another water wave and believe me, if this one doesn’t stay in any better than the last one did, I really will have to speak to that woman. And he passed on. “Oh look, said Evor. “Here comes that catty Curtis Casper who has been spreading all that scandal about my dear friend Ralph Rockwell. Oh well, we must be nice to him—why, hello, dearie, how well you look today! “Good afternoon boys, said Curtis. “Do you notice anything different about me today? “Certainly, answered Johnny promptly. “You have a new haircut, a windblown bob. Isn’t that it? “Guess again, said Curtis. “You are looking rather fresh this afternoon, said Evor: “Did you get to bed early last night? “Heavens no!! said Curtis, aghast. “No, I plainly see that I must tell you. How do you like my new tie? “Oh look, Evor! cried Johnny, rapturously. “Oh Curtis, that’s certainly lovely! How well it matches your suit! You should wear that color more, Curtis, it’s so becoming. “I’m glad you like it, said Curtis. “I think it’s very pretty. Oh say, did you hear about that George Kleinhans, why they say—oh here he comes now. Shhh, don’t breathe a word of it to anyone, I’ll tell you later. Hello, George, we were just remarking about how well you look today. How nicely your marcel stays in, George—or is that a permanent? “Oh I’m so disgusted today, said George. “I feel just like dropping everything and going off! “Why what’s the matter, George? asked Evor, bending over him anxiously and looking down into his up-turned face. “Have you flunked any of your studies? THE LINCO I. N I A 101 “Oh gracious no!” said George. “No, this is a really serious matter. Last week my mother promised to buy me a blue shirt and yesterday she forgot and bought me a green one instead and now she can’t change it and you all know how sallow my skin looks when I wear green. Of all colors of the rainbow she had to choose green! Oh dear!” “Well never mind,” said Evor. “Perhaps she’ll buy you another one.” “Oh I almost forgot that I promised to meet my mother downtown to buy me a new hat,” cried Curtis and off, he dashed. “They had some of the cutest hats in a little shop on Euclid the other day,” said Johnny. “I don’t remember the name of the shop but I could find it easily. I really need a new one too. By the way, Evor, do you care to come with me? I have a little shopping to do and then perhaps we’ll have time for a matinee.” “Of course,” said Evor. “Come along too, George, and we’ll all have a grand and glorious time.” So after Evor had gazed, with a satisfied expression, into his little hand mirror, and Johnny had carefully arranged his hair, and George had adjusted the dainty handkerchief in his breast pocket, the three friends were off to town, leaving the halls once more deserted. —Marie Rubin. LOOKS LIKE RAIN “You are the sunshine of my life.” “Oh Jack!” “You reign alone in my heart.” “Darling!” “With you at my side I could weather any storm.” “Jack, is this a proposal or a weather report?” Ralph—“Shall we waltz?” New Flame—“It’s all the same to me. Ralph—“I’ve noticed that.” Guard—“Are you waiting for somebody?” Graham—“No, I promised to meet a Flat here.” Joe—“Your father is Scotch isn’t he?” Margaret—“Yes, why?” Joe—“Well, I think I’d better be economical and turn off the light.” Elsie—“Did you take father apart and talk to him?” Eugene—“No, I didn’t have to. He went all to pieces when he saw me coming.” 102 THE LI N C 0 L N I A OUT PEARL STREET BANK WAY Home Owning Is Easier When Financed by the PEARL STREET BANK V. 25th SI. and Clark Ave. Clark and . 50th St. Pearl and Broadview Hoads Lorain and Triskett Hoad RESOl'KCES OVER 32 MILLION DOLLARS TIIF LIN C 0 L N I A 103 Compliments of a Friend A.

Education, Music, Religion, Homes, Opportunities all of the highest order. No generation was ever blessed as is this generation, but all these fine things are the property of those who have gone before. They were purchased through sacrifice. Nevertheless our predecessors want them to take those things and use them as though their own. It should be the aim of every graduate, having used the accummu-lation of good things, to go out into life determined that they will replace all they take from this store and that they will replace them with better things and in more abundant quantities. This is a law to which the normal man will instinctively respond. It is a law on which rests civilizations destiny. “In keeping up with the times we need not get out of touch with the eternal.” The Lincoln High Graduate WISHING TO PREPARE FOR A BUSINESS POSITION QUICKLY, OR DESIRING A COMPLETE BUSINESS COURSE OF COLLEGE GRADE, MAY OBTAIN IT AT DYKE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 1001 HURON ROAl) CLEVELAND.
