. Q. s s s ssh x a REMOVING BAD MANNERS LINCOLNlS COURTESY ADDRESS Three score and ten days ago the Lincoln Life Staff brought forth upon this school a new idea-conceived in politeness and dedicated to the proposition that all pupils should be courteous. Now we have engaged in this Essay Con- test testing whether room 223 or any room so organized and so instructed can learn and respect the rules of this contest. It is altogether litting and proper that we should do this to prove our loyalty to Lincoln Junior High. But in a larger sense this cannot decide, this cannot prove that we are always courteous. The bright 9Ays who struggled over this contest have brought us nearer the goal of courtesy than we could have reached without their aid and inspiration. The future pupils will little note nor long remember what we write here, but they can never forget what was established for Lincoln Junior High School. It is for us, the present pupils, to be here dedicated to continuing the good example set by those 9Als that from these honored grad- uates we take increased devotion for that cause to which they gave their last full hours of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these 9Als shall not have toiled in vainethat this school, under Mr. Lewis, shall have a new birth of courtesye-and that these rules by the Lincoln StallC shall not cease to be practiced by this school. -8A-2.

FEATURES O TEACHER! MY TEACHER! tApologies to Whitmanl 0 Teacher! my Teacher! my lesson is not done, My brain is near a total wreck, the comp I sought not won. The time is near, the fail I hear, the kids are all a snicker, I wish the teacherld call on me lTwould be over all the quicker; But 0 Brain! Brain! Brain! Amid big drops of tears. As on the page the flunk is placed, I hear my class-tmatesl jeers. O Simp! poor Chump! rise up and hear the bell; Rise up-for you the loud huzzarfor you the joyous yell. For your comp, your senseless comp, was so awful it was good; The teacher thinks on the funny page You could place it if you would Cheer up, old bean, youlre not so bad That flunk was a dream, old brain, But donlt forget you have a rep For humor to maintain.

ITiLL GETCHA Boys and girls ladies and gents, I m talking today on just common sense I m going to give you jist loads of advice, And if you don t heed me then you 11 pay the price. Now, When ya pass the candy store, iN ya jist can't turn away, Way deep down inside of ya A voice begins ta say, Awful stern ani grouchy, Ya jist cin heart it shout, uThe Toothaches gonna getcha if ya donit watch outf iN When you,re in the study hall, With lessons by the score, Donit waste a single minute, Or youill regret it evermore. ,Cause When that voice starts out again, Contemptibly it does shout. The yellow Slipill getcha if ya dont watch out? iN When youire in the lunch room, iN ya donit know What to buy, Ya donit want nothini nourishin, Jist puddini, cake in pie, An, jist as ya get ready To buy some temptin' sauce, That mean old voice starts out again, Oh! so stern and cross! Mournfully it scolds ya, in ya jist cin hear it shout. H111 health is gonna getcha if ya donit watch out! ,N When ya come to school bank day, Ani donit deposit a cent, But would ruther see ytr money, Being wastefully spent, Yi change y'r mind quite readily, When in the still of night, The voice begins repeating Its words so stale and trite, Scornfully it mocks ya, an' Wrathfully does shout, uThe Poor-House soonill getcha if ya don't watch out! So then you save yir money, Ani y,r happier in the end, ,Cause the voice thatis called yir conscience, Has proved a faithful friend, Yai didnit get theztoothache. Nor did ya fail in health, 65
