THEREIS SOME GOOD IN EVERYTHING These old lessons make me tired, Quoth little Susie White. KTm plagued by every teacher I donit think Tm treated right. i'First there's reading, then there's writing. And then there's grammar, too. But yet some teachers seem to think We havenIt enough to do. iiGee, I wish that I was living In the good old Golden Age When only eating and sleeping Happened to be the rage. Now one day Susie's, mother Called to her and said HSusie, please to wash the dishes And then youill make the bed. Across our Susie's noble brow There crept a puzzled frown But suddenly about her face Smiles played up and down. I'But, mother dear, cried Susie, live so many lessons to do. First there's reading, then there's writing And then there's grammar too. Goodness knows, when I'll get done, But I 'spect 'twill be quite late. And just as she had planned, of course, Poor mother hswallowed the bait. And now Susieis eyes are crinkled By two sly little winks. uIim some smarter, says she softly, 1 iiThan anybody thinks. EDITH STRAUSS, 9A. ANOTHER DAY TO GO Bright above the mountain In the bosom of the river The sun is rising slow; The fish swim to and fro; Are its bright rays thinking, I Wonder if it's just to them Another day to go? Another day to go? On the shore of the lake Do we each have an ideal? The waves are lapping low; Some plan of life toishow? Does it also mean to them Or do we just think aimlessly. iIHere's Another day to go? Another day to go? 1 ALDEN ANDERSON, JAN. '26 54

A. A. The B. A. A. held its hrst meeting on September 18, 1925. As usual we started the season by electing new officers. The president, Sidney Gillman was elected from the ninth grade, the vice president, Eino Linnell from the eighth grade, and the secretary, Harvard Gross, from the seventh grade. Various meetings were held in which the room representatives and the officers discussed Lincolnis sports. In basketball it was decided that there would be two classes, A and B. As the officers were preparing a basketball schedule, the B. A. A. conducted a golf tournament which was won by Melvin Benson, last year's champion. The club also ran 011 a volley ball schedule which was won by 226 in the ninth grade division, 211 in the eighth grade division and 222 in the seventh grade division. In the playoff between the three teams, 211 was the victor Then came the basketball tournament which proved even better than last year. Room 303 nosed out room 306 for championship in the A class, but the 9A 5 were not to be denied the privilege of being represented as winners. They won in the B class through 208. Our school team played in hard luck this season winning two and losing three games. The purpose of the B. A. A. is to promote interest in all athletic events and at the same time make the Lincoln boys better in spirit, body, and mind. Every organization has its purpose, and that may proudly be called ours. Owing to the splendid work of our officers and room representatives, we have accomplished much more than we expected. The nominal fee of ten cents is charged to each entering member. This money is used to purchase our various supplies The room representatives have done much to better the sports by judging piotests that occasionally came up because of misunderstanding of the rules. This was a great year for the B. A. A.
