On they struggled, panting and disheveled— stopping now and then to draw a breath, only to be lashed and goaded on by the threatening presence of the terrible gods, the Sophomores. Our lirst apprecia- tion of the campus was immediately “scrunched” by the amazingly warm reception given us by the Sophs. It wasn’t long before we attempted to organize in order to overthrow the yoke of oppression that so con- stantly beset us. Led by Snowden, we inaugurated a rebellion that went down in the annals of history. Things finally got settled and we held a class meet- ing, elected Dwiggins president and Snowden, student councilman. Several men went out for football and made good; among them were: Temple, Waters, Brooks, Dwiggins, Frazier, Longshore, Carter, Troy, Preston, Sewell, and Jit Taylor. In the annual Fresh- man-Sophomore football classic we found the mighty gods no trouble at all, winning 6-0. Exams found us a rattled but hopeless class. After the whirlwind of Prof. Wright’s math, had swept over us, the storm of Grim’s Biology had subsided, and Boothby’s English avalanche passed, we found our ranks depleted by only four men. A large percentage had made the honor roll. That Spring, ’30 made history by defeating the Cheyney debating team and the Sophomore team in rapid succession. Besides placing seven men on the Varsity baseball team the remaining baseball men won the Intra-mural cup. although we never got it. Derry, George Lee, and Longshore represented the class on the track team. We concluded a successful lirst year by finishing second to the Class of ’28 in Intra-mural track and putting Skinny Lawson and Lank Young on the tennis team. The following Fall our arrival was quite different from that of the preceding year. So enthusiastic and thorough was our hazing that a host of fellows was was given a two weeks’ vacation to cool its ardor. Not- withstanding that, we returned to cut the preps’ hair, and strangely enough, nothing happened. A clean slate was maintained by the defeat of the Preps in the Kampus Klassic, 12-6.’ Troy, Jit Taylor and Taylor made Varsity L’s. In February, Flem- ing joined our ranks, making a total of four new fellows, the other three being Beak Silvera, Ralph Baker and F. B. Jackson. That Spring the track team istor| won the C. I. A. A. championship with Derry Silvera, and Baker being largely responsible. Jiver Jackson, Ole Gal Hall, Jit Taylor and Dick Temple were the main springs of the baseball team. Incidentally, Moby Dick was elected Captain for the next year. We returned in 1928 to find our ranks somewhat depleted, number only seventy-seven as compared with our registration of one hundred and sixteen in our prep year. As upper-classmen, we proceeded to annex the dignity that is synonymous with Juniors. Fountaine took over the duties of instructor in Elementary Latin, Longshore in Biology and Anatomy, Diggs in Caesar, Holloway in English, McFall in Chemistry and Tate in Physics. Pi Gamma Psi led by its President, W. Fountain, staged its Junior Prom in New York City, and it will ever be remembered for its magnificent splendor and feminine pulchritude. September 1929 arrived and the now Noble Seniors returned to Lincoln to wind up their college career in a blaze of glory. Temple, Jit Taylor, Jiver Jackson, Troy, Frazier, Freeman, Derry, Shorty Carter. Pud Waters and George Lee aided Lincoln athletic teams in producing the best record in years of achievement in the realm of sport. Scholastically led by Holloway and Murray, respectively, the Valedictorian and Saluta- torian of our class, we led all other classes in the num- ber of honor men in proportion to class membership. Our social success was ever increased and we helped the Junior class to give a Prom, which I must admit was the best and most exclusive ever given or men- tioned in the annals of Lincoln’s social history. And so comes our Commencement, and the severing of the tie that had help us together through four years of trial and tribulation, triumph and failure, which is the experience of all college men. We look forward to our emergence into the world of men with bated breath. We stand on lip-toe with expectation and hope. We strain our eyes for the first blush of dawn after a night of ignorance as to what is going on in the world. Our hearts beat with courage to solve the problems waiting for us with each unforseen turn of the wheel of life. What this world held in store for the Class of ’30 As it was born on this immortal bed, Is one more riddle that the cryptic earth, Although knowing, chooses to retain unsaid. Perhaps we shall be enlightened at'our class reunion in 1940. HERBERT S. HARRIS, Jr. FOREWORD Within these pages we have attempted to place the thoughts and pictures of those who thru four years' associa- tion have become dear to us. In after years when College duys have become just fond memories we may by turning these pages turn back the years which have passed on into eternity and recall those friends of yesteryeur whom the winds of destiny have scattered to the four corners of the Universe. It has been impossible to record all the events of our college careers or say all of the things about each individual that we would like to, but that would be a Job to which no one is equal. In our small way we have done our best to make this a suitable climax to our sojourn here ut our be- loved Alma Mater. WALTER E. LONGSHORE. Editor-In-Chief.

The numer- ous changes brought about have all been to that end. The Reserve Room is for the purpose of serving the greatest number with the least amount of friction and the Rules for the use of those Books have been devised for that purpose. Please be sure and read them if you already have not. The Library is supposed to be open every hour of the day as listed on the Schedule posted on the Door of the Reserve room and if at any time you find yourself locked out I would appreciate having the hour and day reported to me. There has been one big innovation in the library in the reading room downstairs, which we went to a great deal of expense to provide for all who desire to study, leaving the upstairs as a magazine and newspaper room. Speaking of the Magazines and Newspapers, could I ask you to please replace all Magazines in their alpha- betical order as designated by the slips on the shelves and hang up all newspapers. The reward in neatness will more than repay you for the effort. Thanking you for your co-operation in the past and asking for it in the future, especially in regard to the magazine room. I am, Sincerely yours, ARTHUR SILVER. Librarian. % t t t t (E It i I fc r c n u X7HAT shall become of the Negro?” In view of the fact that this query has been broached many times before, let us not become alarmed as to our destiny. Hirst of all, I would not have you accuse me of offering an «apology.for the plight of my people. Therefore let us not touch this vulnerable spot of the race with gloved hands, but rather let us consider this challenge with an unprejudiced intent and with an in- tellectual pregnancy. That we should be Haunted with such asking as, “What shall become of the Negro? ” prognosticates his becoming a problem, a matter of great concern. Seeking a diagnosis, a remedy for this malady, such questions as these might arise, “Has the Negro pushed on to senility, or have we reverted into infancy? Can we no longer tell right from wrong—the light from the dark? To all of these, 1 have but one answer. We, as a people, racially, psychologically, and socially, are still adolescents. Our racial crimes are analogous to the juvenile delinquencies of a pubescent child. All of the disturbances aroused by the onrush of the awak- ening of manhood and womanhood in the blood of a child are like the deep unrest in the breast of the Negro with his rapid assimilation of American standards and ways of life, and his phenomenal educational advance. But shall we use our childhood as an excuse? We can safely say that the adolescent stage of the child is now being experienced in the present psycho- logical and racial occupancy of the Negro. Nordics notice the atavistic responses of our people to such re- ligious stimulation as portrayed in the audible motion picture, “Hallelujah” and what would they make our shibboleths?—“Lord, have mercy!”—“Hallelujah!” Again they see the resolute calm and indifference with which we face situations that wrack the very souls of the other races. Nearer, to us, they observe the suggestive and ribald cracks, and the belly-splitting guffaws that mar the plays, lectures and movies here on the campus. And to all this they exclaim, “How like little children are the Negroes.” However, let us not be disparaged by such accusations, for it is said, “And a little child shall lead them.” Rather biting sar- casm from Mr. God. But for a race whose soul and self-expression has been thwarted by years of slavery and ignorance, we have come a long way with our emancipation. This disparity of races should not disturb us, for like the ad- olescent child, who realizes his full cap.acities with ma- turity, we too, when the contemporary cultural and ar- tistic expression of the Negro spirit develops, shall give new values and a fresh momentum to (he contempo- rary self-expression of America. From this crucible of ignorance and prejudice shall be poured out an un- blemished metal of Negro posterity. This is my prog- nosis! THOMAS A. WEBSTER.

MEDITATION Last night I stood and watched the river, Bulging in a turbulent stream Foaming, dashing, spurting along, With a quiet and transient gleam. The moon and stars were blending to grace that beau- tiful sight, The trees made images in the water that were only seen at night. But the river flower forever in one unchangeable way, And the waters of the river made an eternal sway. As I stood and gazed at the dazzling stream I saw the drama of life, The races of humanity waging perpetual strife. I saw the waves wrangle when at times they changed place As a dominant race sees itself the master of its fate. And how like the river doth life flow, in its infinite way Promising no tomorrow, offering all today. F. LLOYD TURNER ’30 NIGHT Apollo sinks to rest, And the shadows fall, The birds from the treetops No longer call, Day is now lost In misty flight And silence settles It is night. The bustle and stir of day Gives way to quiet peace, To serene calmness, And all labors cease; The western sky Is tinged with fading light, Darkness reigns, It is night. Night that knits up The raveled cares of day, And gives all To sleep and her sway; That builder of energy, That restorer of might That god gave to us, It is night. — THOMAS A.

Farewell to thee our Alma Mater dear, Our love for thee borne in each falling tear In retrospect we gather up the past, Re-piece the vestiges and weep, alas, The end has come, another world awaits.

Fear not above the deep will always shine The stately masts of thy celestial line, The sons of Pi each soul, a Captain Great Defiers Bolo, God-fearing potentates. Farewell to thee O Sweetheart left behind, Tis barren life that parts our love and thine That lacks thy bosom soft, our warmth, our rest That lacks thy radiant smile, divine, thrice blessed That lacks thy patience sweet; O sainted heart, Be damned vile hour that clefts ouf love apart, In life, in death, in Heav’n by loving won. Sweet flower born to us in life’s sweet spring The fragrance thou hast giv'n us now we sing. The hopes, the joys, the loves, the friendship true, The faded days that now seem far too few, The maidens fair that came into our lives, The mothers’ prayers that staunched us in our trials. Those faithful men who taught with word and deed That love of Him whom temporal spear did bleed. The dancing, ringing rool of morning bell, The sharp metallic clank of evening knell, The golden sunsets flamed with heav’n form’d glow, Those western hills supernal touches show. These wondrous the blisses of four years, Do sadly loom amid these rolling tears. And when that summons, hoped for, yet disdained, Hath linked our numbers to thy infinite train.

We have witnessed events new to Lincoln, and the promotion of athletic interest in the student body has been due to the won- derful activities of this council. Besides the regular intramural games the council has also fostered independent games. This was intended to allow everyone’s participation in physical develop- ment. An enormous amount of enthusiasm was dis- played in Basketball. Besides the four class teams there were six independent teams. The winning class team was the sophomore, while the Celtics were the victors among the independents. In baseball also the classes have clashed and showed ability and worth. To increase interest, the council has given banquets to the winners. Two banquets have been staged this year, and they were gala affairs. There is no doubt that Lincoln is growing in athletics. i 5 LINCOLN NEWS 21 Y. M. C A.

RELAY TEAM-1930 LINCOLN NEWS 23 STUDENT COUNCIL Robinson Parson ......................President Kermit Hightower.................Vice President Harry Scott ..........................Secretary TRACK SQUAD—1930 24 LINCOLN NEWS (Crack T?OR natural and untrained athletes, Lincoln has no rl 1 equal. This has been pointed out time and again, but it has been undeniably proven by this year’s per- formances. The credit lies almost entirely to the trackmen and the various track enthusiasts. With practically no coaching and all self-training these iron men have done great things for Lincoln on the cinder path. This year’s conquests have been over Cheyney in a dual meet ; over other mile relay teams at the Penn Relays; the Hampton Field and Track meet. In de- fense of the Championship, Lincoln was defeated by Morgan, at the C. I. A. A. meet in Washington, May 17. She was also defeated by the same school at her own meet May 10. She was nosed out by Morgan by a paltry I and 2-3 points. Sterling and Spaulding were the big cheeses for Morgan, and only one other Morganite scored a point along with them. This de- feat was considered almost inevitable, as Lincoln was not in the proper form and condition, and no team can win without the proper training. What will the harvest bring forth next year? We know not but we hope. We do feel certain that we can carry on to the championship and hold what we have. Wt have wonderful potential athletes, and these with training will be powers for Lincoln. One particularly noticeable is Cooper, a sophomore. He broad jumps twenty-one feet, and in the hop-slep-and-jump, he dis- tances forty-two feet. What would he do with train- ing? He is absolutely ignorant of how to hit the board. He lucks up, and does his stuff. His luck fail- ed in the Lincoln meet, and out of three trials, fouled all of them and was disqualified. Let us hope that this talented young man will not be dormant but active, will not go to waste another year. Other men with possibilities are C. N. Jackson, who runs without training a hundred in lo seconds flat. We also have others who with training will net Lincoln points enough to never be in the danger of being beaten. Jf o « t h a I I U EAR! Hear! Hear! One more school year has x 1 passed and we now prepare for another with its coming activities. As the school year closes, the lirst thought of the returnable scholars is football and its possibilities. What will we do in that line another year, and how will our accomplishments compare with those of the past year. Of course the goal is ultimately to beat Howard. It always is; and to be sure it is the hope of the class of ’3 I that it will be done this last time. Our poor Gods the present graduating class of ’3o leaves us in sorrow and disappointment. For their four years’ studentship here. Howard has been unbeat- en by us. We feel sorry with them, but we hope our hearts will be gladdened at the expiration of the coming Fall campaign, at which time we hope to have conquer- ed the Uisons even in their own lair. It can he done, what with Coach Taylor’s second year here, and we feel with him that it will be done. Coach Taylor has not had spring training here as is held elsewhere, but we realize our potentialities and our prospects. The Lions lose only one or two play- ers by graduation, though these players are of the best. The reason for this is obvious. The class of '31 con- tributes the majority to all sports at Lincoln, and here as well, the squad is almost entirely composed of next year’s graduating body. Accordingly, if these mm� return in the fall, why shouldn’t we excell in football? We lose, sorrowfully, from the line Waters, an ex- cellent tackle. He has done wonderfully well at his position, and we will miss him greatly. We sincerely feel, the only reason he has not made all-American his last three years of football career, has been due to his playing on a losing team. From the backlield we will miss “Shorty” Carter, a monarch even in his shortness. Few men will be able to (ill Carter’s shoes in general- ship, and trustworthiness. He held the conlidence of the entire squad, and did his best for the Lions on the Gridiron. Those left behind to give another year lo Lincoln on the gridiron are considered of the best material among college stars. We have no doubts as to our material and its growth. Our only aim now is to pro- duce lighting spirit, and enthusiasm will carry us to victory. With such men as Harmon to lead the war- riors, and other backlield men as Anderson, William Clark, W. 1). Jackson, C. N. Jackson and Shirley Hask- erville, and line men as Sydnor, Kane, Oats, James, and Bullock, assisted by any incoming prospects we hope to have a team of sterling worth to represent Lincoln. In football last season we felt that the championship should have been ours. We had the man power, the coaching, and the generalship. Yet we lacked some- thing. We lacked one of the most fundamental and most needful things to be successful. In short we lack- ed critical stamina and fortitude. Our boys could drive Howard to the four-yard line, but the scoring force was limited, and in three downs they found it impossible to LINCOLN NEWS 25 gain a paltry three-and-a-half yards. Can this be rem- edied? We tirmly believe so. The football men and coaches will do their part, let the student body also lend a hand, and imbue the men with such courage, stamina, and power that we will, above all, beat Howard de- visively and unquestionably. FOOTBALL RECORD 37 St. Paul 6 37 Annapolis 0 6 Union 13 32 N. C. State 0 Lincoln 12 A. T 6 19 Morgan 7 Lincoln 13 Hampton 6 Lincoln 0 Howard 0 BELIEVE it or not, but in the sport of Basketball, the C. I. A. A. championship was snatched away from Lincoln by that same old jinx, in the last few minutes of play. Howard again demonstrates greater lighting spirit, and again overthrows us even with our superior players and keener markmanship. The Lincoln cagers toured the South and lost two C. I. A. A. games. One to Hampton and one to A. T. These games, however, mattered little, for Lincoln conquered Hampton in New York and A. T. at home. Besides both teams had been beaten before. The last of the season drew near. The sport world was predictive, and Lincoln was certain of victory. Howard had been easy in Orange, having been con- quered to the tune of 35-27. It was at this time that C. N. Jackson ran wild, and scored eleven points. Any- way. as the story goes Lincoln went to Howard; and for going! We lost the fame and a chance for first place. Taking everything into consideration, however, Lin- coln had one of the best basketball teams for some years. And we have nothing to be sorry for. Coach Taylor was altogether new to the men, and his system had to be mastered. Just as well one time as another. Thus we can already see our 1930-31 basketball team at the top of the ladder. We lose but one player, ‘Jiver’ Jackson by graduation, accordingly, our future prospects are nothing but the brightest. Among the feats of which we boast was our victory over Morgan. This was accomplished with precision and accurateness, leaving no doubt as to the superior team. It is true they won in Baltimore. But that happens with every team. Morgan has a court that no one can win on but her. We had to wait patiently until we caught them away from home and in Philadelphia, then we ad- ministered to them a trouncing they shall always re- member with bitterness and disdain. Gaining honors on the floor this year was Captain Avery, high point scorer for the season. Avery was slow starting this year, but he soon awoke from any laziness that he might have displayed, and before long made himself a terror for all opponents. He was al- ways watched and guarded more closely than any one else, and we are surprised that he retained his position of high pointer gotten last year. Not to be forgotten are Sydnor and DeCosta. ‘Stretch’ Sydnor at Pivot position played excellently, as usual. Like Avery he had a slow start, but soon hit his stride and became his old self on the floor. DeCosta playing his first year as a regular, was unexcelled in ag- gressiveness, and could always be relied on in a pinch. Of course John Hawkins is still our best guard, and we believe the best in colored colleges. His direct oppo- nents scored fewer points on him than any other guard in the C. I. A. A. League. That speaks well for him. His twin Ridley should be a terror next year, after this first year of seasoning. Let us look forward to a great season next year in Basketball. It is bound to come as it is just about due. f a a t b a I I I INCOLN has at last found her mastership. She is now queen of the Diamond, having proved that fact quite decisively in the last few weeks. There is little to be said about Baseball. Everyone likes it, so every- one follows it up. So there is little left for me to relate. It might be of interest to know, however, that Lin- coln’s Diamond runners are of the best. As a total aggregation they are the fastest among college teams. She boasts of an ‘air-tight’ infield and a fast outfield. All can hit. The pitchers are of the best calibre. They had to withstand the bombarding of those southern wood-choppers. Out of thirteen games played this season, Lincoln lost only one. That one was lost to our old rival, Union. It has always been hard to beat Union, as their rabble is almost as good as ours. Anyway, they were victorious in Richmond. Too bad they didn’t come up here. From the entire baseball team we lost only three players: Jiver Jackson, shortstop; Charles ‘Jit’ Taylor, second baseman, and Waters, pitcher. We will miss these men as all are invaluable. Coach Walls, looking ahead, has already been training men to fill these va- cancies, and next year we expect to see a team equally as good if not better than this year’s. !sd KddKa 93 SM3N NTODNTI LINCOLN NEWS 27 ©mega Jlsi J31|i ;J31ii JSeta igma LINCOLN NEWS A u t o iv r a p It s LINCOLN NEWS 29 f£| Douglass |y| Hotel Finest Colored Hotel in Philadelphia BROAD and LOMBARD STS.
