LWQ'LN RM THE hLINCOLN LUNCH HOUR Between the third and fourth periods When Were hungry and losing our power, Comes a pause in the dayts occupation Known as HLincoln Lunch Hour. I hear the chambers above me With chattering noises till, The sound of lockers opened, And voices loud and shrill. Piercing tones and then silence, Yet I know or at least surmise, That a teacher's gaze is on them And they are caught by surprise. From my locker I see in the dim light Ascending the broad hall stair, Starved teachers, and giggling pupils, And the principal Uset for a square. There's a sudden rush from the stairway A sudden raid from the hall By the five doors left unguarded, They answer the lunchroom call. RACHEL SEROTTO, 8A3. 70

The water babies dive from the side and begin a wabbly crawl for safety. Stand! Swish! Ripple! The majestic life-savers dive from the board, seize an expiring victim, and carry her safely ashore. Such is the dear old swimminT hole of Lincoln. With the end of the first term, Lydia Ruut, Bettie Parker, Aileen Cowley, Ruth Orenstein, Libby Sagel, Ruth Lauderdale, Anna Knapp, Evelyn Pierson, Sarah Glass, and Charlotte Feldstein were ready for the Junior Life Saving Tests to be given in the spring, while for the second term a large group of girls principally in the 9BTs and 9ATs have worked up ready for the test. 69
